Nice to Not Meet You (얄미운 사랑)

EPISODE 1

IMPERIAL PRINT

Last one to leave today too?

I just need to finish up two orders!

Did you take care of that reprint order?

- Yeah, they switched to rough-gloss paper. - Good job!

- You're here! - Hey there!

- Come on in! - Come on, let's eat.

- You're back! - Come and eat.

- Fried chicken! - Hey, come over here!

- I gave you my heart, my love, my all - My love, my all

- But now you're leaving, like a stranger - But now you're leaving, like a stranger

- Take the pain of goodbye with you - Take the pain of goodbye with you

- You heartless one - You heartless one

- Yes, fried chicken! - Listen.

What do you call a chicken that's proud of itself?

Come on, guess.

It's pride chicken!

Right. Let's dig in.

- Thanks for the food. - Very funny.

- Come on, pride chicken! - Yeah, I heard you.

Man, I thought it was hilarious.

- Let's eat. - Jeez.

Hey, hold on.

This looks delicious.

Damn, it's gone cold.

When did you take that?

Let me explain, bro...

IMPERIAL PRINT

I got so much done today. Time to wrap up.

This right here.

Could you deliver this yourself?

You don't want to go, do you?

Would you want to go if you were me?

Well, it's Chae-bin's birthday today, so...

Never mind, bro. It's close, so I'll stop by on the way.

It's Chae-bin's birthday?

- Forget it. Just go home. - No, it's okay.

It'd be awkward if you ran into Se-na.

Look.

If I went like this,

maybe she wouldn't recognize me.

Do you really think she wouldn't notice her ex in that?

I wonder if she knows you live like this.

Will you really go yourself?

Hurry up and leave before I change my mind.

Thanks, bro. See you!

Hey!

THE QUEEN OF MELODRAMA

15 YEARS AGO

Please leave now.

I'd like to get off work.

Mr. Hong.

This is all a misunderstanding.

It's true we saw each other while filming Sad Waltz ,

but we broke up a long time ago!

If word gets out about this, I'll have to step down

from all my commercials, melodramas, and mini-series!

And I'd have to pay contract penalties!

- Please... - Listen.

That's your problem, isn't it?

And there's plenty of evidence in front of you.

Don't be ridiculous.

But this...

Hyeon-jun was still hung up on me and begged to see me one last time.

He said if I refused, he'd come looking for me on set.

I had no choice but to see him.

That's what happened, right?

Say something. Please?

Please.

Don't do that. You're making me uncomfortable.

Please get up.

Everything she said is true.

I...

I forced her into seeing me.

Mr. Hong.

Please don't publish that article.

See?

I told you there's nothing between us.

It's not fair for me.

Please, Mr. Hong.

Why would hotshots like them meet in a place like this?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Oh.

You're here, Ms. Wi.

Why are you alone, sir?

Where's the assemblyman?

You're not on the level to have a private meeting with him.

Take a seat.

I'll be in the US for eight months filming the second season of Save Zone,

so I'm not sure if the timing will work out.

Eight months will fly by while we get ready for filming.

If you agree to this role, Ms. Gwon,

I'd be willing to wait eight years, let alone eight months.

Yes?

I'm here to drop off the script.

Oh, that was quick, Mr. Lim.

Why is this so wet?

It's raining, so...

All right.

What's this?

It's the script we had custom-printed.

I'll get going, then.

Wait.

Thank you.

I like it.

You do?

It's a custom-printed special edition!

Sir!

Did Assemblyman Ha Gee-wan

hire an aide just to take the fall for him?

Does Assemblyman Ha really have nothing to do

with the redevelopment in Cheongwon City?

Are you saying his aide took all that money for himself?

I know, right? The nerve of that guy.

Mr. Woo Young-suk

was supposed to meet me tomorrow.

How could someone like that just die?

We have breaking news.

This morning, at a private parking lot in Seoul,

Mr. Woo, an aide to Assemblyman Ha Gee-wan,

who was involved in the redevelopment of Cheongwon City,

was found dead.

Charcoal briquettes and a note, believed to be a suicide letter,

were discovered at the scene.

Ms. Wi, it seems you're upset

because you missed out on an exclusive.

But these are the facts, all right?

I'm upset because I missed out on an exclusive?

Mr. Woo's family wants to avoid escalating the issue.

So if you keep poking around,

a lot of people will get hurt, understand?

Open it.

A reporter needs to move fast.

That should be enough to get a decent SUV.

Take it.

What are you doing?

I learned a good lesson, thanks to you.

Think of the money as my lesson fee.

Am I really this pathetic?

What was so embarrassing that I even put on a cap?

I thought it might be you, and I was right.

It's been a while.

You haven't changed as much as I expected.

You haven't changed either.

Why did you come here?

You knew I'd be here,

so you shouldn't have come.

Did you show up looking like that, hoping I'd feel guilty or something?

- What? - Or has life

actually gotten that hard for you?

I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that.

Take care.

You knew I'd be here,

so you shouldn't have come.

15 YEARS AGO

Cut!

Give it to me.

I'll do it.

Who are you?

What the hell?

- What's going on? - You scared me.

- Who are you? - Who are you?

Man, you scared me. How did you even get in?

- My head is killing me. - Goodness.

- I think I'm being kidnapped. - Kidnapped?

- My location is... - I'm not kidnapping you!

- Don't open the door! - I think we're crossing a bridge.

What bridge are we on right now?

It's the Yeongdong Bridge!

I'm on the Yeongdong Bridge!

- Please come to the Yeongdong Bridge! - Is she insane?

Where are you taking me in this junky car?

A RELIABLE POLICE FORCE, A SAFE NATION

Since there's been a misunderstanding between you two,

and you came in voluntarily,

we'll review the dashcam footage to confirm what happened.

Please take a look.

Unbelievable.

That's the footage from the front.

Here's the next one.

Come on, seriously?

See? Look at that.

We saw that she got in my car by herself, so I'm innocent.

Let's keep watching.

Maybe he pretended not to notice there was someone in the back.

Wow, are you serious?

Go ahead and play it.

All right.

That bitch.

"You shouldn't have come"?

- Hold on, I wasn't calling you a bitch. - Seriously, who does she think she is?

- Look. - I can't believe she said that.

As if she hasn't changed one bit.

Her face is all sagging now, with wrinkles around her eyes.

And how is her acting still as bad as before?

She hasn't improved one bit.

No progress at all.

It's always the same long straight hair and the same lousy acting.
