I Need Romance 3 (Romaenseuga Pilyohae 3 / 로맨스가 필요해 3)

1. The Girl Who Resembles Shing Shing

The day I was born was the day the first snow of that year fell.

The 7-year-old Shing Shing, while making her own footprints

in the snow that no one had stepped on, came to meet me.

I heard everything from Shing Shing.

When I was a newborn, she said I looked like a sweet potato.

Indeed, I couldn't believe it.

How is he going to live if he's this ugly?

I grew up in Shing Shing's house.

When I was one, she said that I looked like a cooked sweet potato.

That I got uglier.

That's why Shing Shing said that she often covered my face.

Every time I hear the old saying, "Habits of a one year old will last until they are 80 years old,"

it doesn't seem like a story far away.

I've returned to Korea after 17 years. The Shing Shing in my memory is smart,

innocent,

and kind.

I wonder how Shing Shing is now.

What in the world? In the alley way?

For an hour?!

Stop laughing. It's nothing exciting.

You.. tell me the truth. Only a kiss?

At first, we said we would only kiss and then go. But then, that man kept trying to go further.

I tried to stop it to the best of my ability, too.

We had no choice. We had to move to the other alley.

Your boyfriend really tries his best in everything.

With that sort of dedication, he'd pass the civil service exam.

I was worried about his exam the next day, but what could I do? My body was getting hotter,

and I couldn't stop.

Why didn't you guys just go to a motel?

That's what I'm saying.

We don't have money. If we went to a motel every time we wanted to, then half of our salary would pay for the motel fee.

We promised that we would only go to the motel once a month.

So that it would be well planned out and safe.

What on earth. We were like that for an hour.

Let's take from our team's dinner money and fund her motel fee.

I'm in! I'll consider it as taking care of our employee's welfare.

I will be careful to use it well.

Be sure that I get a summary report.

Include the receipt as well.

Ah... What are you guys talking about that is so fun?

You're going to do what with the team's company dinner money?

Donate it.

That's great. I agree no matter what.

Yeah, Mom.

Sweet potato? He's in Korea? How old is he now?

What does he do? Music? Ay, he grew up a total delinquent.

Why are you just now coming? How could you make me wait at the airport for 40 minutes?

You'll be staying at a hotel in downtown. I'm in the middle of looking for a house rental, so just for the time being-

Give me the car keys.

Why?

Do your best not to call me, because I'm not going to answer even if you call.

Send my schedule via text, and even if you don't get a message, don't rush me. If you bother me, I'll change my number.

Unless you really need me, just let me be. I work better that way.

But Allen! In the afternoon, you have a photoshoot, and-

I'll find my own way there.

Did you gather all our materials?

I'm doing it right now.

My mom said that when she traveled to the U.S., she inconvenienced that household a little bit,

so that this time, I should let their son stay at my house. For a year.

You must be in a uncomfortable situation because of Lee Jung Ho.

Oh, that's right! Good point.

Okay. Mom, give me Sweet Potato's number. I'll meet him.

I said I would take care of it.

I don't know why I didn't think of that.

Okay.

Ah ha!

This is not the Han River, is it?

Ya ho!

Ya ho!

Do you only do this on the mountain top?

Anyway,

it's nice to meet you, South Korea!

I promised Shing Shing that I would return.

And I have returned. To Shing Shing's country.

Call me.

It's me, Shing Shing.

Where are you?

Why are you speaking informally, out of the blue?

I spoke to you informally since the day that you were born.

But even so, aren't we strangers now? Do you remember my face?

I don't remember it. Except for the fact that it was ugly.

I'm sure you grew up. So, where are you?

I'm playing with the seagulls. Can you guess where I am?

Do you remember that we went to see a giraffe on a snowy day?

What's this?

Hey! I'm busy right now. I'll get to the point.

I haven't decided whether or not I will take you in.

My mom says that "my house is your house,"

but I don't like it.

Why don't you like it?

I have a boyfriend. That guy

sometimes comes and sleeps in my room.

Do you think that that man and I only hold hands and sleep?

What if there are two rooms? Must I make a baby like you...

listen to my nightly activities every night?

I tend to be loud and vocal. In real life, it's much more intense than this.

I'm sure you don't want to listen to this every single night.

I think that if you came to my house, I'd be very uncomfortable. My boyfriend wouldn't like it either.

So what I'm trying to say is that you don't come out of your own conscience.

You coming to my house and leeching off of me, I really, super, extremely, do not like it!

Why do you hate me?

First, you're ugly. Second,

my mom

received her salary from raising you.

With that money we were able to live.

When I see you, I think about that time. I really don't like it, to the point that it disgusts me.

Disgust?

You see how much I don't like it, right? I hope that we won't have another chance to talk.

Wait.

I...

missed you.

I missed you, Shing Shing.

Jeong Hee Jae, today the color will be mint. Look, it's wrong here. Be sure to pass it along, quickly.

Be sure to contact the business partners quickly. -Yep.

Cameras, be sure to do good close-ups of the products. It's five minutes until we go on air, so buckle up!

Let's go!

Okay, let's get ready. We've got 5 minutes left.

Four, Three, Two, One.

Hey, ivory, ivory!

Wear this ivory one!

You can go out now. Be careful.

Why aren't we getting a response?

This is driving me crazy, why aren't we seeing an increase in orders?

It'll go up. Wait.

Oh, it's starting to go up.

Oh!

We got 700 calls per minute!

Whoa, 700 calls per minute!

It's crazy! 700 calls?! Awesome!

Show the message, "Mocha and grey, soon to be sold out!"

Size 44 has been sold out in all colors.

You've worked hard!

Shin Joo Yeon has sold out again.

Great.

Should we go out for a beer when we're done? -I'm in!

Since the next show isn't ready, we have to air for 10 more minutes.

Erase your smile off your face.

Pull down the corners of your mouth.

A meeting with our business partners?

We need to start our negotiations for next season. If we look too happy, the deal won't be in our favor.

But still... -Especially when things are going like this, we need to make them invest more.

Review and collect customer responses and be sure to find out what they want.

The deal will be to keep the unit price the same, right?

Of course.

She said of course.

Ta-da!

Wait a minute.

Sunbae! Yes!

Did you watch the broadcast? Did you? What am I going to do?! I've made a hit again, 5 times in a row!

I totally have the hands of God! What am I going to do?! All products I sell get sold out!

Did you really have to come all the way to my room to show off?

Where else would I do it? Everyone would die of jealousy.

Then what about me? Do you think my congratulations are earnest?

I wonder who taught me? You really must be proud, Sunbae Kang!

To have a talented junior like me.

Congratulations Shin Joo Yeon, on having 5 hit items in a row.

This position. . . You have to be careful, Sunbae.

I will go up soon.

It's a challenge.

You're joking around again.

You should go to the outdoor stairwell, I saw Lee Jung Ho head out there right after the broadcast.

Right!

How do I look now?

Not at all pretty. -I know that I'm pretty.

Darling!

We're a perfect team! I'm so happy!

But why aren't you kissing me?

I would be really happy if you did.

Darling, your kisses

are really the best.

Let's eat dinner. -Huh?

I have something to say.

What is it?

I saw Producer Lee at a jewelry shop in Cheongdamdong yesterday.

Really?

My mom asked me to pick up her pendant from repair, and I saw Producer Lee on my way over there.

He was looking at a "two-ring love" necklace.

Looks like he's going to propose.

Marriage isn't a happy ending,

It is a train ticket to hell.

You should give it a try. -It's not that I can't get married. Instead,

it's that I'm not. -Omo, omo, omo.

How much is this? It's this model, right?

Let me see! Oh! Im going crazy!

How does he know my taste so well? -$2620!

The incentives he got...

I guess he's planning on using it all on you! Oh, my! You're so lucky!

Are you sure he paid for it? He didn't just look at it, right?

I saw him pay for it. I didn't say hi because he seemed to be so concentrated on the necklace.

But why would he propose with a necklace?

It should be a ring.

He already gave me a ring, when we went to Bali.

This is the same brand, too.

I'm going to go crazy, really.

It's really perfect.

It's as if Designer Jung made this outfit especially for you, Allen.

What does being disgusted mean? -That you really don't like it.

Someone told me that I disgust them.

There's a person who dares to say such a thing without reservation to the great Allen Joo?
