YOUNG JI-YOO

YOUNG SEUNG-WON

OUR PURE ROMANCE, "LIKE WATERCOLOR PAINTING"

I finally lived to see this day.

I began to publish again right away

as soon as I finished publishing one.

Ji-won.

Ms. Seo Ji-won, you've worked so hard.

You've done well. Good girl. Very good.

"LIKE WATERCOLOR PAINTING"

It's our story.

Goodness.

Ji-won, you're insane.

Get a grip. Wake up.

My gosh.

Ji-won.

Mr. Lee.

I missed you, Ji-won.

I didn't miss you very much.

Really?

I didn't think you'd grow up into such a decent guy.

SALAD, PASTA, WINE, COFFEE

-So did I disappoint you? -Why?

I acted like I didn't know you.

Did you really not recognize me?

Have I changed that much?

Right, I remember. You were always that cute.

Whatever.

How could I not recognize you?

It's you, Ji-won.

Anyway, how did you become a webtoon artist?

It turns out that I am rather good at drawing.

Hey, I like that confidence.

You're the one who really surprised me.

I never imagined I'd have you as an editor, Seung-yoo.

I volunteered.

What?

I wanted to be your editor.

Also, "Like Watercolor Painting"

is our story.

No.

It's not our story.

Are you sure?

It's not.

But the main character is Seung-won.

What?

Seung-yoo, Ji-won.

Put those together, Seung-won.

What are you talking about?

I see. I guess you can take it that way.

But no.

Come on.

Cha Seung-won.

-What? -Yes.

Cha Seung-won. I like Cha Seung-won, that actor.

That's why he's Seung-won.

You don't believe me, do you?

I'd also be suspicious if I were you,

but it really isn't about us.

I really like Cha Seung-won a lot.

I've been a fan for a long time.

I mean it. I'm serious.

I'm serious!

It's so much fun to hang out with you, Ji-won.

Whatever.

It's wonderful

to see you again.

"Until you make the unconscious conscious,"

"it will direct your life"

"and you will call it fate."

This is a quote by Carl Gustav Jung.

It may sound like wordplay,

but let's not stuff our nasty unconscious into our fate

and turn a blind eye to it.

This was Lee Ran-ju's "Dreamy World", hosted by Lee Ran-ju.

See you again tomorrow.

LEE RAN-JU'S "DREAMY WORLD"

ON AIR

-Hello? -Are you done with work?

How did you know?

Who else would know your schedule other than me?

Come to my cafe after work.

No, thanks.

Why not? I'm introducing my new menu today.

You have to come and try it.

I really can't today. I'm going on a blind date.

Fine. Tell me about your new blind date.

A younger friend of my senior.

He's 35. A lawyer.

Ask Ji-won to come.

-I'm hanging up. -Hey, wait--

Gosh, you cold-hearted witch. She hung up as soon as she was done.

PART-TIMER WANTED

CAFE AREA

Don't you dare let me catch you. I'll show you what I got.

"LIKE WATERCOLOR PAINTING"

Did you really not recognize me?

Have I changed that much?

Right, I remember. You were always that cute.

Whatever.

Also, "Like Watercolor Painting"

is our story.

What are you enjoying so much?

The proposal for Ms. Seo's new webtoon.

I see.

It's a sentimental fairy-tale romance, but it oddly keeps you on the edge too.

Isn't it good?

That's a romance comic. But at times, it seems like a thriller.

Especially the boy.

I have no idea what's on his mind.

Really?

I couldn't tell what the girl is thinking.

SEO JI-YOO, 15 YEARS OLD, LET'S PRACTICE BEING IN LOVE.

I guess that's the difference between men's and women's perspectives.

Oh, right.

Ms. Seo is going to get her big break.

Her most recent work, "Psycho Bride",

might get turned into a movie.

-A movie? -Yes.

Weren't you in charge, Ms. Yoon?

Hey, good work.

I spent ages and ages working on the proposal to turn it into a movie.

I should call her right away.

I will.

I'll tell her. I'll tell Ms. Seo.

Seo Ji-won.

MR. LEE SEUNG-YOO

Your call cannot be connected. You will be redirected...

It's wonderful

to see you again.

How is he a 35-year-old lawyer?

You look much younger than I thought.

I get that a lot.
