49 Days E8:Live

There is just something about these characters that gets to you – H and his steadfast devotion to what he believes in, S and his determination to complete his task to go back to his unfinished business, J and her hope to collect those tears to send her back to her parents’ open arms, and Y – someone without a purpose who desperately needs one.

49 Days E8

—–

Starts from where IJ comes in and Y/J comes around the corner to see who walked in.

 Y/J notices the groceries IJ is holding.

 IJ asks why Y/J is here.

Y/J replies she came cuz M asked her to help out with housework

IJ: housework? are you saying you are his maid?

Y/J asks why IJ is here and IJ lies that she was asked to give this to M by J’s mom.

Y/J asks what that is

IJ says groceries

Y/J makes a remark – do secretaries run errands and deliver stuff like this these days. she promises to give it to M

IJ hands it over

Y/J asks if IJ plans to come in but IJ says no

she asks how IJ knew the house code and says it isnt her business to know but IJ lies that J’s mom told her.

Y/J tells her M said he was coming around 11 and  and walks away.

IJ says she will be leaving then

As IJ gets on the elevator, M steps out of  the other elevator.

—–

Y/J calls IJ a bad girl for lying that her mom sent her on this errand and says now she isnt surprised by IJ’s lies. she thanks IJ for bringing the groceries so she can feed this to M since Y/J didnt want to cook for him anyway.

M comes home and asks where she got the food cuz it wasnt in his home before and she replies that IJ dropped it off.

M:who?

 Y/J: IJ she just left didnt you see her?

M: she came here?

Y/J: she even knew the housecode.

M gets a call from IJ and lets it ring

Y/J: arent you going to answer that?

he takes the call in his room

she sees the envelope in his hand wonders what paperwork it is for him to bring it home

—–

he answers and asks what is going on

IJ asks what happened to him -why did you ..at home..

he says it was good that she called

he just finished his meeting

IJ: you are done?

he opens his safe door

M: you are at home huh? hurry and come out

I’m leaving right now so let’s eat dinner at that place

—

Y/J thinks to herself she needs to see what the paperwork is

M comes out and tells her to go home cuz he has to leave again.

she asks what she should do with all the food preparations laid out

he says to leave it and talk tm

she tells him to leave first and offers to stay and clean and then go

he says she make him repeat the same thing over and over

he repeats she doesnt need to bother cleaning up

he makes her leave so she waits outside to sneak back in.

she doesnt know that he locked it up in his closet safe. she looks everywhere for it and wonders where he hid it

—

M goes to meet IJ. he sits and says she must have gotten really angry at him

IJ:what happened to you – why is Y at your house?

she said you told her to be the housekeeper

M:you went to my home? why?

i told you you shouldnt drop by just any time cuz it is risky

she explains she thought he wouldnt be able to eat dinner properly cuz of the meeting…

is that important now?

M: how did you get into the house?

did Y open the door for you?

did you open it and walk in?

are you in your right mind now?

she used to work at H’s place

what if he finds out – what are you going to do?

IJ: that is why – why did you hire that girl to work in your home?

heard she was rude to you

what were you thinking when you hired her?

M: what are you thinking of right now?

IJ: are you interested in Y?

M: is she someone I would be interested in (sounds like he meant Y isnt worthy of his attention)

so that was it? what do you take me for?

IJ: it is cuz i dont understand

M: she is just a housekeeper

i needed one and it happened that H fired her

so i brought her over

instead of a new person – it was more comfortable to hire someone i knew

IJ: then why didnt you tell me

M: did i ever tell you when i hired help

IJ; she is different

M:what is different?

IJ: like you said – hiring her after H fired her – it is unlike you

M: for the past two years I spent with J – did i ever fall for J? answer me? did I?

IJ: you didnt

M:then let;s stop talking about it

having to hear these things from you over that girl is humiliating

IJ:then make her quit tm

M: i should at least give her a few days warning

i am too busy preparing for haemido

it is nothing at all so dont think about it in such a  sensitive way

—

Y/J says being a housekeeper is good cuz it gives her free time so she goes jogging. she hears steps and heavy breathing and runs off but it is S. he scared her so she would run faster. he appears and says she needs to run that quickly.

Y/J: it was you – ya you scared me half to death

he says in your state – you are afraid of being scared?

she jogs in place and asks what he is doing here cuz she didnt call him.

 he asks what she is up to?

Y/J: me? exercising Y cuz every day she eats a package of noodles so her health is awful

S: you are improving her health?

J: it seems like there is no one taking care of her

and i am inconveiencing her a lot and there is no way to pay her back

so i should at least eat well for her and keep her healthy

S makes a sarcastic remark about how busy J is saving her own life but she is doing this nice thing

J: just cuz I go around all busy doesnt mean i can get those tears

S rubs it in that all of J’s friends are busy this week so there is no one to collect tears from anyway

Y/J: they dont know how much of an emergency situtation i am in

and they dont know that I am J-if they knew you think they would do that

S: so with the free time you have – you asked yourself “what should I do” and decided to go into M’s home and earn money while investigating

then he raps -I just understood the last parts-

 broom up the floor-give money-eat pears- brush teeth

they sit on the grass

she asks if he ever thought for 4 days straight

S:why would i do that? i am not a person who thinks

she says while she was trapped she realized how long a day is

how much she can do in one day

and realized how precious these days that are left are

she says she is going to use the remaining days really well

he conrgratulates her for thinking like that but warns not to cause accidents while she is using those days so well

she puts her arm around his shoulders and thanks him for worrying about her

he puts his arm around her shoulders and retorts

I am worried about me

for the remaining 34 days left to me

you are the last troublemaker

he disappears

she waves and yells goodbye -see you again – will call you

and he comments that she dares to think of him- the scheduler- as a friend

* so S clearly said that she is the last person he is in charge of and then he gets to go back and do what he wants to finish up

—-

M goes home and looks over at his messy kitchen

and remembers how IJ said that it is unlike him to hire Y after she had been fired by H

and to make Y quit tm

—

IJ goes to H’s place for takeout

she asks if Y/J already left work

the waitress says Y/J has left work for good cuz she has been fired

IJ says H liked Y so why did he fire her

the waitress says cuz Y was hanging around J’s fiance-she got caught by H

IJ walks off thinking and says that H didnt like J so why is he thinking of J now to that extent

—

H remembers that Y is working at a bar

chef goes over and looks at what H is staring at and tells him to go there (where Y works) if H is worried

H:what? go where?

chef hands him their revenue for this month

chef asks isnt H actling like that cuz Y is working at a bar

H explains – she is not healthy and working at a bar…

chef:that is why go meet her – the adress is there

H says how could he -what would he say

chef says it’s the right thing to do or something

like the way H’s mom gave the chef a chance -even tho he wasnt related by blood to her

if it wasnt for H’s mom – the chef and his wife wouldnt have been able to survive (he used the words “take a step in this world” so i guessed that to mean “survive”)

H claims he doesnt take after his mom

chef points out H is her son

he says he is leaving for the day

to himself – H mutters – what mom do i take after?

—

Y/J lies down to sleep and J pops out

she thanks Y for today

she tells Y that Y will feel a little sore today but she will feel better after 2 or 3 days passes

—

Y goes to work at the cafe

the doc comes there (his last name is Noh so that is what i will call him)

he orders coffee and says

I seem like a stalker huh?

i’m not a stalker but it is obvious I seem like one so i was going to just watch you and go

but I was so glad to see you work again

Y says the coffee is $4 

he pays and hands him his receipt

she tells him that he did all he could as a doctor back then

so he isnt to blame so he should stop coming now

noh: i know – as a doctor I always did the best I could

when you came to see

at the time I was a relative newlywed who had been married 3 months

when i was the happiest – i met a person who was the most scared

after 3 yrs of marriage

I fell asleep at the wheel and got into an accident

in front of my eyes my wife died and i was perfectly fine (unharmed)

she listens and looks up and burns herself with a spray of steaming hot water

that’s when i knew the kind of pain you cant know if you dont experience it yourself

if you cant forget – just miss that person

that’s what i did

my wife probably hated me

but i really missed that person

 her burned hand shakes as she pours the coffee

—

32 days 4 hrs 59 mins left

Y stares at the photo of two kids one boy and one girl

a voice that sounds like S yelling says : i am sick of you

she drops the photo so J looks at the name and asks if the boy is Y’s younger sibling

J goes inside Y

she notices her hand is burned

Y/J asks why is Y so absentminded (to get injured I guess)

—

softy’s point of clarification

* noticed on soompi that ppl think S is really Y’s sibling but neither Y or S has said that – only J thinks that cuz she jumped to conclusions from seeing a childhood photo

Y and S could have been friends since childhood and then dated later on

I think the story would be weird if he ended up as Y’s brother and he goes back to give Y closure

( i love my sister but there is no way I am coming back from the dead just to say sorry if the last words I said to her were hurtful- she would probably be more shocked than me if I did that) 

Makes way more sense that they were in love and something happened where he hurt her feelings and he felt bad for that all these years

My guess is that the fact that he doesnt want to go to Y’s home or be around Y stems from some residual guilt deep down inside – why else would he want to avoid her? totally love all these guessing games

—-

Y/J discusses her  work schedule with M

she will work from 11am to 3 and get paid the same as heaven $4.32 an hour

M says she has to work normally from 1oam to 6pm

and when he needs her – to work overtime and same pay as (some other job i dont know)

Y/J points out that he told her to think of the hours she can work

M: i told you to think about it – never said I would follow it

Y/: you are the one who asked me to work for you first

M: and you said you would do it

she says doesnt plan to stay her all day cuz she needs time to do other stuff

in the afternoon

M  says he needs someone who will work properly at his home

she says she can do all the work in 4 hrs

he lists all the detailed work she has to do which takes longer than 4 hrs

such as boil bathroom towels

Y/J: why boil towels?

M:boiling towels and underwear is a given

what about kitchen towels? rags for floor

dust under the bed-did you clean all that? also ironing

grocery shopping for dinner preparation

at least hand washing laundry

Y/J looks over at the hamper full of clothes

you want me to wash all that by hand?

M: i know how to use a washing machine and vacuum

Y/J: i did iron yesterday

after looking thru the fridge i was going to make a side dish of eggs but….

M: you are a funny person- I gave you a job cuz I felt sorry for you for getting fired by H

I dont need a maid who is a slacker so what should i do?

Y/J: then fire me

M: that i cant do cuz i feel bad for you

I am the one who told you to come

she thinks to herself: you want me to say I am going to quit with my own lips?

she thinks about the paperwork she needs to see

M is worried she will reply like this

Y/J: forget it – i wont do your work

 and turns to leave

so M gets up and asks for her ID before she can say anything

she gives him her ID but flinches in pain as her burned hand rubs against the pocket

he notices her burned hand and thinks that is why she didnt do the laundry properly

she gets to work cleaning up the kitchen

—

Ij goes to hospital to give the dad paperwork to sign

he asks if the paperwork didnt come for the land deal

she says it hasnt come yet

as IJ leaves,  the mom tells her that P manicured J’s hands yesterday

but IJ says “yes” and bows and goes without looking in her direction

mom points out that IJ didnt even look at J’s face as she left

dad wonders if something is going on with IJ cuz she looks tired

dad says the mom is making too big a deal over not looking at J and leaving

mom says IJ knew J since childhood and didnt do that-but the older IJ gets – she kept her feelings hidden and is different from P

—–

at the office, M thinks about Y/J”s burned hand and the laundry undone

IJ gets out of the cab and sees M driving off

IJ calls M and  asks where he is but he lies and says he is in a meeting and promises to call later

IJ goes to the office and asks if M went out to lunch

the secretary says he said he didnt feel well and canceled all his afternoon apts

and went home

—-

IJ goes to see H

he asks what she is doing here

she says she had just come from the hospital after getting some things signed and dropped by

H asks if J is ok

she ignores that question and asks if he is doing well

she asks if he is prepared for the project meeting

he tells again that he isnt going to do it

she says M is counting on it

she says if H really didnt plan to do the work he should have said it clearly

saying that everytime M came by here when H said he wouldnt do it

M never took that seriously

has H even once gone to the office or M’s home and said formally and definitively that H wouldnt do it?

H says he will do it when he sees M

she says if H really isnt going to do it then he needs to hurry and give his files to M

H asks if M is at home now

she replies he must be cuz he went home to rest

—

Y/J is looking all over – behind pic frames looking for a secret safe

she looked behind the pic cuz in movies that is where they hide the safe

she finds it and hears the house code being pressed

just then M comes home

he looks for her and finds her in his bedroom

she pretends to be hanging something up

she acts startled and he says he didnt know she would be in here

she replies if she isnt in the kitchen then of course she would be in here

did you leave something behind?

he gives her med to treat her burned hand

she asks if he came home just to give her this

he says would I do that

she says it isnt that bad to put med on it and walks off

but he holds her arm

—

H is on his way to M’s

—-

Y/J tries to pull her arm free and tells him she is ok and doesnt need the med

but he insists he isnt ok with it

cuz the skin looks like it will come off

and he cant make someone with that kind of injury clean and do dishes 

she agrees and says let go of her arm and give her the med

she burned something and the place is smoky

M goes to open the front door to let the smoke out

H is about to ring the bell when M opens the door

H: did you know i was coming?

Y/J comes around the corner and asks M if the ventilation is broken

 H sees her and she sees him and both their faces freeze in shock

M smiles and asks what H is doing here

H says to M

what are you doing now..what is this….

H goes in and drops the files and asks what she is doing here

why are you here in M’s home?

Y/J: i’m in the middle of work here- is something wrong?

M to H: you fired her

because she got fired cuz of me i gave her a job

H to Y/J: your new job was working here? are you crazy

M: calm down H

H:what are you doing?

H grabs her arm and tells her to come out right now

she looks at the safe and pulls her arm away

Y/J: why are you angry?

you are the one who fired me

H: dont you know why i fired you?

this is my friend’s fiance’s home

Y/J:what does that have to do with me?

H:what?

Y/J: that this is your friend’s fiance’s home – what doe it have to do with me?

H:then i will take back firing you

quit working here right now

M calls out his name

and she retorts she wants to stay here

H:what?

inwardly she says sorry to him and that she cant go cuz she has work to do here

H asks what she just said

she repeats she wants to stay here

H: was it this all along? you pretended you didnt but-was it this?

Y/J turns to pretend to work but cries

H leaves angry. outside he crumples up that paper where he wrote her address down cuz he was worried enough to check on her

Y/J goes to the bathroom and cries some more 

—

H goes back to his place

the two waiters are sitting and watching something on their cell phone

H doesnt yell at them and just stares at them then goes in without a word

chef yells out their names

waiter says it is scarier that H isnt yelling at them

suddenly they hear a crashing sound

—

H is knocking things around in anger

H remembers how Y said she wasnt interested in his friends fiance at all

he throws another chair

——-

Y/J wonders why M isnt leaving

M is remembering how she told M that she didnt like M

then how she told H she wasnt going to leave and wanted to stay here-and he smiles

Y/J goes over and asks what she should make for dinner and asks for money to go grocery shopping

he asks her to go out and eat cuz she shouldnt touch water with her injured hand

she tells him to go eat and come back and she will just finish up here and leave

M:didnt we say you would work till 6 and if I needed for you to do extra?

she wonders to herself why he wants to take her out to eat

he takes her to a place she hasnt been before

the owner greets M by name and asks why M hasnt been by in a long time

M says he was busy with work

he orders two bowls

Y/J looks around and thinks to herself that she hasnt been here even once before

she asks if he was a regular here

he mentions it was his mom’s fav place and his as well

he used to come here to eat often with his mom

Y/J: you must have come with your fiance so is it ok to come here with another girl

M says something backward about how just cuz someone is a girl doesnt mean she is like all girls 

Y/J retorts that she doesnt want to be treated like a girl by him

M:then why didnt you go back with H?

he said he would give you your job back

Y/J – it wasnt cuz I was interested in you that i didnt go with him

M: i dont trust poor girls’ poor ppl’s pride

I heard you begged him to give you a job

so it looks like a lie the way you are acting to me

she tells herself to put up with everything-cant get fired

M says -does she think the way she is treating him is (keeping her) pride – it is just not showing him any manners

she says she understands

after they eat-he gives her a key and tells her to open the door and come in from tm on

then he pays her for working today -he added pay for the extra time

she said she will be leaving

he offers to give her a ride

but she declines

she walks away wondering why he treats her like a maid-then why did he give me a ride – why go out to eat with his maid-more importantly -why take his maid to a place he used to go with his mom

suddenly she thinks to herself – he didnt take me even once but he took Y to a place that is full of memories with his mom?

after remembering all the nice things he did for Y-giving her a ride when she didnt feel well- the meds for her hand

she says aloud: M-is it possible you like Y? no – you like me?

—

J goes home and says toY as Y eats

does this make sense? that M likes me? no – is he liking you?

Y gets up and grabs her jacket and J says “let’s go together”

and J calls S

—

At Y’s work

J is waiting for S cuz she called him and wonders why he is taking so long to come

he appears and taps her on her back

she asks what kind of scheduler takes so long to show up

he remarks she should be grateful he is meeting her so why is she complaining he is late

he asks what is the reason she asked him to come here

J: cuz you told me not to call you to Y’s home

S:here or there (it is all the same) hurry and tell me what you want

today I go to the hongdae club

J asks him to find -that name on the pic

at first he thinks she made up a word so she explains it is a person’s name

she thinks he is Y’s sibling

S:that girl’s sibling?

J wants to know if the guy is alive or dead and where and what is he doing now

he says he is a scheduler not someone who works at a center where you make ppl go on errands

(basically that he isnt her errand boy)

J says she wants to help Y

he says if J wants to help then she should and not make him do it

why should he use up his precious remaining time (as a scheduler)

he has lots to do with the 33 days he has left

his personal life schedule is packed

J: does that mean you cant do it?

S: it is not that i cant – i wont

J says he is cold – you were a person once

back then when you were alive – you must have liked or loved someone

S replies that he might not have gotten to love

cuz I died too early – at 23

J- have you died at 23?

if you die at 23- how do you think that feels?

J:why wouldnt i know that?

it would be totally upsetting

S: no – it would feel unfinished (like it was a waste that he couldnt finish out his life)

to the point of feeling crazed that he couldnt finish

J: i would be really upset

she points out he doesnt remember back then when he was alive

he says he cant remember but he still feels things from then

dont you know why I am living so fully as a scheduler

since i died too early

i am living the life I didnt get to live

J says it is a pity what happened to him

S tells her if she knows that -dont make him use his precious time on that girl

be backs up till he faces Y

S:from now on dont call me when this girl is around

he walks out

—-

IJ remembers how H went to M’s house

she is curious what happened

IJ asks if P is going to H’s cuz today is H’s bday

IJ knows that P bought his present

P says J always went with her

IJ offers to go with P

P says she feels bad celebrating a bday cuz J is like that

IJ scares her and says what are you going to do if H gets a gf

P is alarmed and asks if H has a gf

—

Y/J tries everything to get that safe open but it wont work

—

M gets a call that J’s dad is on his way

M is surprised cuz the dad didnt mention he was coming in to work

IJ is surprised too

M goes to greet the dad

dad asks why M is here

M says he came cuz he heard the dad came

dad says (to IJ) since when do you inform someone when the president comes and goes

IJ apologizes for telling M

M says he was on his way to see J and offers to take her dad back

—

at the hospital in J’s room

J’s dad throws up

his wife wonders what is wrong -did he eat something bad

M remembers how the dad threw up before

he also remembers how her dad argued with the doc friend

saying it is his life and then holding his head in pain

—

M goes to see the doc and finds out about her dad’s condition

M asks for details

from the description it sounds like a tumor pressing on his brain

the place that the tumor is pressing on is dangerous

the tumor is big and one cant know when something bad will happen

it will be difficult to have surgery and it is dangerous

 M asks if that means even surgery wont work

doc says surgery is J’s dad’s only chance even tho chances of survival is slim

but J’s dad doesnt listen to the doc

the doc says originally the dad was going to get surgery day after the wedding

but now that J is like that

the dad pushed the surgery back and is stubborn about not having the surgery till J wakes up

even tho J doesnt have much of a chance to wake up

M learns that her dad wont live long if he doesnt have the surgery

—–

Y/J writes down numbers and tries to figure how many

guesses she has since the combination is 6 digits

it is over a hundred thousand combinations

she says that is impossible and needs to find another way

she looks at the calendar and worries cuz she only has 31 days left

she notices that it is H’s bday

—

chef’s wife is asked to make seaweed soup cuz it is H’s bday

chef says this is H’s first bday after he came back from america so they should make him seaweed soup (it is a tradition- koreans eat this on their bdays)

tho she can make other things well – this is the only thing she cant cook well

so the chef offers to make it and tells her to make side dishes

—

chef’s wife is on her way out and runs into Y/J on her way in

—

chef goes up and sees H sleeping –

H drank too much so he is passed out

he slaps H on his butt to wake him

H asks why the chef did that

chef says he has to eat and H says he doesnt want to

but the chef makes H get up saying that H has to eat

—–

H sees the whole table and asks whose bday it is

chef tells him it is his bday

H:it’s my bday?

chef: how can a young guy not remember his own bday?

you should be grateful you were born

how do you think i knew it was your bday? (implying H’s mom told)

H: did she tell you stuff like this too

pointing to the mussels

did mom tell you to put mussels in the seaweed soup?

chef: no

H: then how did you know to put it in?

chef: Y brought this

H: Y? how did she know my bday?

chef: she said she made too much so she brought some over

flashback

H’s mom is waiting at H’s school

H goes to her and asks why she came

she holds out the bag full of food

his mom: this is seaweed soup and your lunch

H replies irritated

I told you not to so why did you come all the way to school

she hands it to him saying it is his bday so he needs to eat seaweed soup

H;when did i  eat seaweed soup on my bdays

i dont need it

she explains back then she was busy

i added mussels – the way you like it- and made it

please eat it son

she tries to give it to him again but he says he doesnt want to

she gives it to him and tells him to go in cuz she is leaving

he lets it fall to the ground

and runs off

she picks it up calling his name and chases after him

—–

J goes to the head of the class

and announces to the class that she is going to make this bottle cap disappear

whoever guesses where the cap goes she will buy that person thuk bok ki 

everyone wants to try to guess but H doesnt

he doesnt want to take part cuz it is childish

J baits him saying he should just say he doesnt have confidence to guess right

if he doesnt have the confidence

H: you think i wont know that you are duping us

J gets offened and says for the rest of the class to not join in

and makes H go against her

she wants to make a bet

whoever wins gets to make the other person do one thing -whatever they want

why do you not have confidence?

if you dont never mind

H takes the bet -that he can figure out how she did the trick

who said i didnt have confidence – go ahead and do it

J;then i am starting – look carefully

she makes the bottle cap disappear

rest of class is impressed

J tells him to guess

H tells her to lower her arms cuz it is hidden in her sleeeves

she shakes out her arms and rolls up her sleeves to show she didnt hide anything

J walks over and says he lost and orders him to follow her

—

there is a lot of food

so he asks what she is doing

she says she wants him to eat with her

she pours the seaweed into a bowl and tells him to eat

he looks at the seafood thing and guesses

and looks at her

she tells him to eat

he asks if she saw

she tastes his soup and says it is really yummy

he yells again and asks if she saw

J scolds him for acting that way toward his mom

he pushes the soup away so she hits him on the head with her spoon

J warns: you better not spill that soup

at school or every corner he passes

she is going to make sure he can never take (naps?? I think that is the word she used)

H: you think i will eat this if you threaten me?

who do you think you are to interfere?

J: it isnt a threat – it is a promise- you dummy

are you going to eat this or keep your promise? (the punishment)

he makes her turn around till he eats

she happily agrees and eats rice with her back to him

he starts to eat

J: dont leave even a drop and eat all of it

he watches the back of her eating and smiles

J: H – why cant i hear you eating

he mutters she has good hearing

he drinks it all down and puts down the bowl

she turns and  checks to see if he ate it all -let’s see

he walks off

end flashback

chef asks H why he is like that

H asks again if Y really brought this

chef: i said she did – why?

H remembers how she said she wanted to stay at M’s and H was the one who fired her

H yells -I’m going crazy. why is she doing this again

chef asks if H doesnt like it cuz Y made it at M’s house

H:that’s not it

chef : she thought you would act like this so she told us not to tell you

H: she told you not to tell me?

chef: but you know i cant lie

so why?

H says this is his mom’s seaweed soup

chef:what?

H confesses he doesnt why he feels this way

if it is cuz of Y or J-he doesnt know

H runs out to his car

P and IJ show up with cake and presents

but H ignores them

P asks IJ where H is going

IJ goes up to his window but he waves and drives off

Y/J is doing laundry and H shows up at M’s

he keeps ringing the doorbell

he bangs on the door and yells out Y’s name

she finally lets him in

he goes in and walks right up to her

so she backs up a little

she asks why he  came

he wants to ask one thing

why is she here

Y/J: i told you that yesterday…

H cuts her off and says

if she is here cuz she is interested in M then just say that and he wont interfere again

but if that is not the case

dont do this

and he grabs her purse and drags her out

she drops the laundry as she is being led away

preview

outside – H asks: do you really want to stay here? are you going to stay here?

as Y leaves the store she sees something on the newspaper that catches her interest

(think that packet she is holding might be photocopies of those documents she wanted to get her hands on)

what happened to the rest of the preview?

there are only past clips

guess it means they ran out of filmed scenes

wonder if that means no more previews from here on

YAI Launch my life

I missed some of the opening scenes

YAI was saying that his fans are even sick of this -filming him

in london

while YAI was meeting various young artists in london and visiting their studios- he had a translator but YAI didnt like how the translator couldnt even understand what he said in korean to translate into english

she claims she would need more time to translate uc what he says is hard to translate into english-  what he said is hard even in korean- others agreed

the same thing happened everywhere he went -with each artist – he would have to asks questions

and you could tell there were some lapses in translation

— 

YAI got caught when the cameraman opened the car door when YAI was putting his pants on with long johns underneath

the guy filming asked how YAI the fashionista could wear long johns and YAI said not being cold comes first before fashionista

—

YAI takes the crew to his fav place

everyone sits in a circle and person in the middle has to answer what is asked 

did you get mad yesterday cuz i got mad? she says she wasnt

were you embarrassed then- translator nods

YAI asks his own manager: how many times a day do you want to quit being YAI’s manager

manager hold up his fingers- 10 times

Q: how many times do you want to hit YAI

manager holds up two fingers

then it is YAI’s turn to be in the circle

someone asked him why he speaks informal korean (everyone wanted to ask that)

instead of replying he apologizes

explaining how he doesnt like being average

(guess that is his habit cuz he did it often with ppl older than him)

narrator: for a second – we thought there might be a reason we dont know as to why he is so prickly/brusque

—

YAI goes clubbing in london with some trendy college students in their early twenties

(earlier YAI mentioned mark as the one he remembers the most and wished he had friends like him)

when YAI walked into their place – the guys had wonder girls on

so YAI asked if they put it on for his sake and the guys said it was a coincidence

yAI and one of the guys try on each other’s jacket

the spikes coming out of the jacket YAI tried on was attached by that guy himself

YAI remarks to mark that he is really skinny (in english)

the blonde guy says YAI has to dance with them so YAI kicks almost everyone out

YAI ends up dancing in their room with them and gets pumped up

in the van, YAI sits with the guys

he tells them he is the craziest actor in korea

they ask why and he replies cuz he was born that way

manager worries about his actor’s image

narrator says YAI cant be natural in front of the camera

they go to a club that is kinda quiet and not many ppl

then go to another club where it is better but one of the guys-mark- who had already drank at home gets really drunk by the time they are in the second club

so they end up not filming and manager wants to take YAI out cuz the manager worried about YAI

they worried cuz it is mark’s life and they didnt think it would be right to air this show when he is drunk

YAI asked to go back in when mark sobers up but no one is going for that idea

YAI says he would have had more fun without the cameras

when he confided in a kid that he was uncomfortable with the cameras around – the kid said “this is your job”

* note from softy

On thurs nights-right after 49 days airs, I take the time to try and translate as much as i can of Launch my life, but they speak really quickly (and sometimes speech is muffled) cuz it is NOT a drama – there are no pauses which makes it hard to get everything down. So when i translate a line here – there might have been more said that clarified his point.

Do NOT take everything at face value – I am not trying to portray YAI as a good or bad guy – all I am focused on is trying to hear and translate. If you want a more thorough translation, go to the blog link on the right called YAI haven.
