Snow Lotus (설련화 / Seollyeonhwa)

[Lucid Dream: a dream in which you know that you are dreaming]

[This drama is a destined love story about a man and woman]

[who dream the same dream every night about their past lives.]

That person had a scent that no man carried.

If there's a flower that blooms once in a thousand years...

Would that flower have given off this kind of scent?

That's how we met.

That is the beginning of a love story in my dreams.

- Stop right there! - Stop!

I have to die so you can live.

I'm sorry that I can't be with you to the end.

Even so, do not cry a lot.

That dream is my death.

That is how my farewell with him began.

That is how we parted ways.

That is the end of the love story in my dreams.

It's cold outside, what are you doing in there?

There is something I must find.

I just saw something shiny over there under the full moon.

Perhaps, that is what you lost.

Is that so?

May I ask why you were so desperately trying to find that sword?

This sword saved my life and I must return the favor.

There must be a long story behind it.

No, it was just for a very brief moment.

It is as if time has stopped.

However... there is no way for me to return this to that person.

Like you said, you're waiting as though time has stopped.

Do you think you will meet that person again?

Yes, but everything will seem like a dream if I don't at least try.

It seems like it will all disappear.

I pray you meet meet the owner of that sword again

and personally return it to him.

In any case, I owe you.

Excuse me.

Who are you?

There's some news I've been wanting to tell you once you got here.

It was hard waiting for you because i was dying to tell you.

Why are you so late?

What is it?

I'm going to get married.

It's been arranged between our parents.

An arranged marriage?

Are you okay with that?

For the sake of my family's honor, I have to.

It's like being forcefully dragged to the temple.

What would you do if you were in my place?

Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?

What are you talking about?

Could it be?

The lady you have longed for is your fiancée?

That's right. I want to show her to you right away.

You'll know once you see her.

Why this Ma Moon Jae is so crazy about that woman.

You'll know at first sight.

Because you... are my best friend.

I'm glad. I'm really glad.

But... I also met a person who makes me go weak in the knees.

I knew it.

It looked like something happened just by looking at your face.

By any chance... do you love her too?

It's not like that.

That person is a man. A man.

A man?

Without a doubt, I'm waiting for the dream every day.

- Did you find out? - Yes.

At the family event today hosted by Lucid Dream...

- Get to the point. - Yes, sir.

Han Jung Won, the little kid who received the grand prize

She's not an employee of our company.

She's a manager of the company coffee shop on the first floor.

She's the daughter of Han Kang Hee.

So, the dad is not an employee of our company.

Yes, it's the mom...

Find the dad and convince him to be a part of the design team no matter what.

Excuse me?

- If you want to hire a new person... - One week.

- You have to notify the HR department. - No, three weeks should be enough.

But why the sudden interest?

I like the drawing. Do I need another reason?

Also, no more events on the roof in the future.

Don't let anyone come up.

My husband is not familiar with computer games...

Are you joking with me right now? Who do you think you are, lady?

- Excuse me? - Look, lady.

This is the certificate of your family relations when you applied.

Take a look.

Your husband passed away. Do you take me for a fool right now?

Well, the thing is...

Who is it?

Who was that man who won first place by acting as your husband?

The thing is, my child kept begging about wanting to compete in the sketch contest.

So, I called her uncle...

Uncle? What is that uncle doing right now?

- Well... - He's unemployed!

Why would he come to his niece's sketch contest at that hour unless he's jobless?

Yes, that's true.

It's a proposed salary agreement.

Let me go home and talk to her uncle first...

Our CEO always tells us...

that scouting a potential prospect is the same as a marriage proposal.

He said the timing is important.

Well then.

47 million...

47 million won?

Wow, no way.

- What is it? - Teach.

You said we're supposed to use the croquis method.

This is against the rules.

- This is croquis too. - No, it's not.

You said you're supposed to draw what you see.

- Where did you see this kind of guy? - In my dreams.

But the clothes are totally ugly. What is this? The Joseon era?

Why are your dreams historical?

I must've been a Joseon princess in my past life.

That's seriously overboard, Teach.

- It's the princess complex again. - You're so hopeless.

That's what I'm saying.

Sis, are you crazy?

It's because you drew so well at the children's sketch contest.

They want you to work in the design department.

And they find out Jung Won's father passed away.

- Goodness. - So...

I told them that you're Jung Won's uncle.

Hey, they caught us lying that you're the father.

They'll think we're mentally unstable if I tell them you were disguised as a man.

- Right? I did good, right? - Oh please!

Tell them I can't go.

Our poor Jung Won will never get a chance to eat all the fried chicken she wants.

Mom, I want that doll house too.

Goodness, that godforsaken money.

Seriously, what's wrong with you guys? What is this, a mother-daughter tag team?

Yeon Hee, think carefully.

You'll be earning enough money for next semester

if you just work for several months.

- Eight to two. - Six to four.

You're sleeping here for free.

Seven to four, and the grand prize is mine!

In return... I'll buy Jung Won's doll house.

- Is this enough? - No, a little more.

- About this short? - A little more, just cut it all off.

All of it?

But, this is such a waste.

It's okay, just cut it please.

That godforsaken money.

Teacher Han.

Are you quitting?

Yes, I got hired to work at a game company.

That's awesome. You're always drawing historical fantasies.

The game company will totally love it if you show that to them.

- You think so? - Teach...

can you give me one of your drawings?

I want to hang it in my room.

Sure, I'm in a good mood.

- Pick one that you like. - Yes!

But...

are they really giving you that much money?

Don't you think it's a bit strange?

Plus, the CEO of that company...

there are a lot of bad rumors about him going around.

That he's psychotic and prejudiced against women.

The fact that he left his former job to set up a game company isn't normal.

What does that have to do with me?

It's not like I'm going to work with the CEO.

That's true. An intern wouldn't interact with the CEO.

Anyway, I'm going to have to focus on my job for the time being.

Sure. As you should.

I can just take the bus.

No, I'm driving on purpose so I can get used to the car.

Ah, I see.

The car is pretty.

- Open the glove box, will you? - Here?

The way it opens is so neat.

Is this mine?

It's your first day on the job, so don't be nervous and be confident.

Okay, thanks.

Why did you cut your hair so short?

Oh... just because.

You look like a guy.

Really?

You're still pretty, though.

Will we meet again...

in my dreams tonight?

Hey, he's coming!

What is going on here?

Why do you look like this?

I said I missed my fiancé

and my father gave me his permission right away.

- Don't I look great? - You...

Say hello.

This is my neighborhood... friend, Young Dae.

And this guy is the best student at this school.

But he's famous for his lack of skills in martial arts.

My friend, San Baek.

It's nice to meet you.

I hope we become good friends.

I'll keep your identity a secret.

You... are not someone who is into writing.

I picked it up along the way. It's no use to me.

Even if my secret is no longer a secret...
