OUR STICKY LOVE
Chairman.
Prosecutor Go isn't on the cargo ship.
Baek Sang-gil!
So this is how we reunite.
There was a time when I called you "Coach."
I don't know what to call you now.
There's not really a good word for an abandoned disciple
to address their master with.
1991 NATIONAL BOXING TEAM FINAL SELECTION
LIGHT WELTERWEIGHT MATCHUP
BAEK SANG-GIL VS LEE JUNG-GU
All right, Baek Sang-gil's in great shape today.
At this rate, he's almost guaranteed to win the gold medal.
No clinching.
Baek Sang-gil's really going for it.
No clinching. Stop clinching!
Stop!
Huh? What's going on here?
Blue corner. You're forfeiting. It's over.
Baek Sang-gil's coach just threw in the towel.
Now, it's not uncommon
for a coach to throw in the towel to protect their fighter
if and when they're in danger.
- But Baek was in a favorable position. - That's right.
I can't say I understand,
and Baek Sang-gil appears to be just as confused right now.
Coach!
What the hell was that about?
Take 'em off.
Think I wouldn't be able to tell the difference in the sound of the gloves?
I was going to win, wasn't I? I was about to become a national athlete.
Competing on a national level by cheating your ass off?!
Wouldn't it be good for you, too, if I were to become one, huh?
The short time I wasted having you as my disciple
will go down as the most shameful thing I've ever done.
- Coach, come on! - From now on, don't call me your coach.
I didn't teach you to use your fists to harm others.
Agh! Fuck this shit.
I cherish Jang Tae-ha
as if a rib was taken from my own body in order to make him.
And soon, not only I,
but the entire country will cherish the extraordinary athlete this man is.
Hm.
Despite all your best effort, your student ended up exactly the way I ended up.
I'm sure it wasn't easy to take him back.
It is unfortunate that it turned out like this.
But…
…throwing punches like your life depends on it is thrilling.
Throwing those little jabs in a ring?
I'm sorry, but that isn't even close.
Even after these 30 long years, it's
a pity that you didn't change even one bit, Baek Sang-gil.
You think you broke him?
Someone that I care about?
But you didn't.
Tae-ha has never once been broken.
Even now, you're still trying to kill innocent people to satisfy your own greed.
Tae-ha did this to save someone else.
So… you don't have anything to be proud of.
I reported the explosion, so the police will be here soon.
If you're brave enough, then stick around.
Tae-ha.
Are you okay?
Can you get up? Let me help you.
I told you not to get involved.
Why did you come?
Even if you had Gang-rok, cans of gasoline,
and you were ready with the police on standby,
what if something didn't go as planned?
What were you thinking going after him like that?
It's okay. Go Eun-sae is safe.
She left.
She got away safely.
No. No. Jang Tae-ha! No!
Tae-ha.
Tae-ha!
Wake up. Tae-ha!
Come on, stay with me. Tae-ha!
Let go.
- I can't do that. You need to stay here. - I need to go to Jang Tae-ha now!
If you get off, you'll die.
I said, let go!
Step on his foot, push him over, and run away.
Ms. Go!
I'M DONE LEAVE WHEN THE COAST GUARD SIREN RINGS
What now? Eun-sae?
Kaito?!
Don't disappear without a word. Don't put yourself in danger.
Just…
I just want you safe.
Park Hyo-jin.
You bitch.
Your memories have returned?
That's right.
You silly bitch.
Why do you have a bag of taffy?
All I knew was that you were in some kind of taffy village,
so I had to start somewhere.
You deleted your Instagram account, and I lost your new phone number too.
Why did you even want to find someone you hate?
You should've left for good, since you got your revenge, right?
But you didn't even have the guts to do that.
How can I, with our history?
Hey, trade shoes with me, all right?
Hey…
Those things I hated you for doing, they piled up so high
I couldn't remember any of the good times we had.
But after I got my revenge,
all those things that I was upset about disappeared.
I remember all the fun we had.
And I know now what kind of friend you were.
I'm sorry.
The way I lived my life was wrong.
I'm so sorry.
No, I'm sorry!
- I'm sorry for everything. - No, I'm more sorry.
No, I'm even more sorry.
Eun-sae, drink this while it's warm.
Thank you.
So, where were you all along?
Gujin.
Gujin?
Oh, Gujin.
I forgot they have a taffy village there too.
But, uh,
who was that person who took you in?
He was someone…
…that I knew from before.
So, what's your name?
Jang Tae-ha.
We once had a serendipitous encounter,
and he was someone I had a good memory of.
But I like this one the most, because I met my first love here.
It was nice to meet you, future gold medalist.
It turned out that he was someone I was destined to connect with from long ago.
MIRAE EDEN COMPANY ORGANIZATIONAL CHART
JANG TAE-HA DIRECTOR
I… About me being a gangster…
I'm sorry.
He endured unfortunate circumstances and lived a life that he never chose.
Hey, it's me. Jang Tae-ha.
It's me. Your boyfriend.
We met up in the mountains.
Our dog is gone. Um, she must have got out of the yard.
I'll… I'll go and look for her.
He even put on an awkward, clumsy act.
Don't take it too hard.
If you find a way to breathe…
…you will get through it.
He's the one who saved me.
What's wrong?
He risked his life
to make sure I was safe until the end.
What, now?!
You mean Prosecutor Go didn't get on the boat?
Then where is Eun-sae right now?
No idea.
The last I saw of her, she was riding off on my motorcycle.
- Oh no. - So, what do we do now?
Tae-ha's in for a real shock.
Well, even if he does find out, there's no way for us to find her.
She turned her phone off, and we can't…
It's not like we can ask the police for assistance either.
What are we gonna do?
For now, let's not tell Tae-ha.
If his ass finds out Prosecutor Go didn't get on the boat,
he's gonna get up and leave the hospital,
and go around the entire country looking for her.
- Yeah. - Yes, I agree with you.
So instead,
I'll look into different facilities she may have gone to.
Yeah, okay. Yeah.
I'm so grateful.
I'm so grateful that you have him.
There's only one possible way to save Jang Tae-ha.
We have to catch Baek Sang-gil.
Oh. So, you're going back to work?
Not yet. I need to keep an eye on this.
The fact they put me on extended leave
must mean that Baek Sang-gil has people within the office.
Baek Sang-gil tortured me to find out where my watch was.
And in the end, I saw him find it.
But even after he found it, he didn't kill me.
That means he knows about my plan B,
and Gwak Chi-hyeon is the only one who knows.
Actually, when I was wondering if I should report you missing…
She's not missing.
…Chi-hyeon told me you weren't missing. There was no need.
But I knew something felt off about that.
So is Gwak Chi-hyeon…
I think he works for Baek Sang-gil too.
I mean, how could he do something like that?
So, what exactly was plan B?
My sneakers.
My sneakers were set up to upload whatever they filmed,
straight to the cloud.
When I tried to use the cloud drive on my phone earlier, it didn't work.
Those guys must have hacked the account already.
- So what do we do? - We're not out of options yet.
The watch was always synchronized between the computer I use and the sneakers,
so the footage should be saved on my laptop at home.
But I'm a little afraid to go home right now.
You're worried that Baek Sang-gil might have planted something.
Mm-hmm.
Ah.
So, I was wondering…
- How'd it go? - We didn't find any suspicious vehicles.
There were no tracking devices or cameras around your unit either.
But there were signs that someone tampered with the lock.
- What? - What?!
But we checked the apartment thoroughly and it's clear for you to go in.
Oh, okay.
What? Where's the laptop?
Your laptop is gone.
Those guys must have taken your laptop.
Yeah. He's thought of everything, that Baek Sang-gil.
What now? Did you happen to save it anywhere else?
That was it. The last place would be in those sneakers.
Where are the sneakers?
They also couldn't locate any prints
on the clothes or shoes that you were wearing when we found you.
Why was I wearing a suit with sneakers instead of dress shoes anyway?
So not me.
In Taffy Village.
That's great. Can we ask Jang Tae-ha for help then?
Let's tell him your memory's back too.
No, we can't do that.
If he finds out my memory is back, then he won't just sit by and watch.
He'll try to protect me or send me somewhere.
That would disrupt the investigation.
I don't want to put him in any more danger.
Then what are you going to do?
Chairman. I think the prosecutor is here in Korea.
What?
I confirmed that no boats had left the port last night except for one cargo.
And some of our men
say they saw Prosecutor Go leave the port on a motorcycle.
The prosecutor's in Japan. So, why come here?
You had the nerve to smuggle her away
and you thought I'd just sit by and allow it?
I can see how much that disciple of yours meant to you, but
you know I always make sure to repay my debts, favors, and grudges.
You used to praise me for my grit
when I was still just a lowly boxer.
If you're thinking of "playing coach" like the good old days,
and giving me some half-baked advice, then…
Can't you please
just let Tae-ha go now?
Prosecutor Go lost her memory.
She can't hurt you in any way.
If it's me that you hate, then
just do whatever you want to me.
So just…
let Tae-ha go.
Let him go.
That boy has never lived for himself his entire life.
So please…
Just please,
leave him alone.
I…
I'm begging you.
KAITO
I told you, I talked with Kaito on the phone.
He said that the boat departed safely.
But why haven't I heard from her yet?
No news means good news.
She'll call later when everything is settled.
Just rest, all right?
You're up?
- Why did you take so long at the store? - Did you go somewhere else?
Just the bathroom.
Oh.
Hey, you don't need to worry about somebody else going to the bathroom.
Just worry about yourself.
You're a healthy young man.
- It's not like you're an old lady. - Oh!
What are you doing laying in bed like that?
Well, that's… that's why I'm going home now.
- Go home? - Hey, we… Already?
- Oh! - Hey, I didn't mean it like that, man.
Really, I'm okay now. There's not much more to do here anyway.
You should still recover some more.
Just stay a bit longer.
- No, I-- - It's all right.
- Ah… - That's not what I meant.
- Watch your step. - Be careful. I'll check on Tae-ha's room.
I said we should stay a while longer. Why were you in such a rush to leave?
Uh, should he lie down?
- Wait. - Are you okay?
- Grandma. - Ma'am. You're here too?
- Oh, please. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Ma'am. So, Tae-ha's condition right now is…
Oh, ma'am.
How… How much more of an inconsiderate grandma
do you want me to be? Huh?
You… You didn't go because of me again.
You like her so much, but you didn't go just because of my illness.
How do you expect me to live with that?
As a grandmother who held back her grandson twice.
How can I continue to live with this kind of shame?
But you… How are you going to live?
You let the girl you loved even more than life itself go alone.
So, how are you going to live?
Grandma.
It's okay, Grandma.
I'll be able to live well,
even without her.
I'm sure I can live well enough.
My poor baby. My baby.
What am I going to do, my baby?
Are you really going to be okay alone?
Don't worry about it. Just go to work.
Baek Sang-gil thinks I went to Japan, and the security company says it's fine.
So it's safer here, for now anyway.
Okay, then. Make sure to call me if anything happens.
Mm-hmm.
Thanks so much, Hyo-jin.
Mm. What are you thanking me for?
- Hey, don't come out barefoot. - It's fine.
Just go inside.
- All right. - Okay, bye.
They say you don't know when someone comes, but you know when they leave.
Our entire village is now just so quiet
all because Eun-sae is gone.
I wonder if she's arrived in Japan by now.
Oh, stop it, you two.
Why think about someone who's gone?
Have you already Forgotten me?
Leaving only longing…
Light pink roses.
Have you really Forgotten me?
So beautiful.
Eun-sae's favorite.
We also had so much fun singing together.
And we fought so hard too.
Well, if it's not going to work, we should not do this today.
And once that feisty chick was on my side…
Oh, what am I to do When I miss you so?
My longing for you only grows
BREAKFAST, LUNCH, DINNER
Slowly, slowly. Okay. Uh, cushion, cushion. Lay on the cushion.
Oh, you can go now. I'm fine.
No, it's not. I should be here to help you.
You're in no shape to even take a shower alone yet.
Even so, I don't know about us showering together.
- Get out before you make it more awkward. - Right.
Yeah, yes. Then just call me if there's anything I can do.
- I've always got your back, okay? - Okay.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, Gang-rok.
Yes? Yes, sir.
Be careful out there.
- Ah. - Baek Sang-gil knows that you helped me.
And he's going to know that you're here.
Well, why would he care about me?
Oh, don't worry.
Sir, I might not be as good as you, but I can still fight.
Who are you, and who do you work for, you piece of shit?
Look. I've still got it.
Don't worry.
Rest up.
If anything happens, don't hesitate to reach out.
Good morning.
She's probably safe.
I wonder if living there is comforting for her.
Wow.
This place is so beautiful.
I feel like I'd be healed every day if I lived in a place like this.
I hope it's not too hard for her,
Go Eun-sae.
You know, that's not her name.
Her name is Bok.
I named her that because I thought her choosing to live here was good luck.
How…
How are you here? What happened?
You're asking what happened?
After what you pulled on me, you are asking what happened right now?
I was so scared. I thought I was going to die.
Oh, man. I'm going crazy.
Wh… Why didn't you go to Japan?
Why would I go there?
To hide? What am I on the run for when I didn't do anything wrong?
That was the only way to keep you safe.
I can be safe without going.
All I have to do is
break up with you, Jang Tae-ha.
- What? - Why are you so surprised?
You knew just how much I hated gangsters.
This was never going to work out once you went back to being one.
The only reason why you tried to send me away
was because you chose the gang life.
So if I ended things with you,
I would be safe, wouldn't I?
Even if that's true, you don't have anywhere to go right now.
I'll go to a facility.
And we're strangers now, so please don't ask me any more questions.
So did…
…your memories
return?
They didn't. Do I need to remember everything to break up with you?
I'll leave as I want and go on with my life. That's all I'm here to say.
Anyway, thanks for everything. I'll pack my things, then head out.
Oh, wait.
Hold on.
No. What?
Where did all my stuff go?
Uh, I sent it all over to Japan.
Huh?
I asked the head coach to go ahead and send your things after we left.
What? Uh, why would you…
Call them. Tell them to send it back now! There's something important in there.
- Come on, hurry up! - Yeah.
Faster!
What did they say?
They said if they send it back soon, it should get here by tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow?
Oh, what do I do?
I have no choice. I guess I'll just stay here one more day.
I mean, the package won't get here until tomorrow.
It wouldn't make sense to go back to Seoul just to return here tomorrow.
And I bet you told him it's over. That's both sad and funny at the same time.
Yeah.
Well, I guess you have no choice.
Then have a good night.
I met Go Eun-sae. Call me when you see this.
Don't even think about sending me somewhere again.
I won't just obediently go along with whatever you say, like I did before.
I wouldn't say you were ever… obedient.
Oh.
Hm.
Hey. You really let yourself go while I was gone.
Huh?
Oh, I…
I just got home from the hospital.
What will I do with this man?
What are you doing? Go take a shower.
Oh! Are you all right?
- Uh-huh. - Oh, I'm sorry.
I didn't realize you were hurt this bad.
Then you probably can't wash yourself.
Right?
There's nothing to even wash.
- What do you mean? I have a lot of hair. - I meant you have a small head.
- Oh, I can dry it myself. - Just stay still.
All I have to do is break up with you, Jang Tae-ha.
Hm.
I'd say that's an improvement.
Was I that bad to look at?
Yes.
So, which facility are you going to, then?
We're broken up.
I told you not to ask.
We could still keep in touch--
Have you ever washed the dog?
Huh?
No.
Of course you never washed her.
Everyone in this house ends up so dirty as soon as I stop being around.
Hurry up and follow me.
I wonder if she'll turn into a white dog.
Whoa! Oh!
Oh! Oh.
- My eyes. - Did it get in your eyes?
- The soap. Hold on. - You okay?
- Ow, ow! - Are you okay?
Oh, hello!
Uh, we came by because we heard you were here.
Yeah, so, uh…
So we came over in a hurry.
Should we come back later?
Uh, no.
Eun-sae, are you feeling okay?
You all knew that I was going far away, but you kept it from me.
But… where were you?
- Where have you been all this time? - Jang Tae-ha can tell you all the details.
Where are you going?
Grocery shopping for dinner.
Don't follow me, Jang Tae-ha. Tell them what's going on.
Oh, and find Bok and finish her bath.
What's with Eun-Sae?
Why is she being so cold to you all of a sudden?
What's going on?
You should have told me if you knew she didn't leave.
Hey, the reason we didn't
is because we knew you'd go looking for her,
even though you were hurt.
Look. I'm just glad Eun-sae showed up safe and sound.
So she can't stay in Taffy Village anymore. Is that right?
Since Baek Sang-gil knows about it, it's definitely not as safe as it was.
I asked Kaito to look into the schedule for the next stowaway ship,
but it'll take a while.
And she's not gonna be convinced easily.
So, by the way, did you happen to see
a strange suit and some sneakers when you were shipping her things?
You seen them?
- No. - Did you?
A strange suit?
Baek Sang-gil knows about the plan B,
and he's looking for the outfit Go Eun-sae was wearing
at the time of the incident.
There's key evidence somewhere on her suit. The belt or the sneakers.
Yeah. That's possible.
We'll have to look for that first when her stuff gets here.
If we can find the evidence,
we won't have to send her away,
and she'd still be safe.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION NAME: MIN SU-JI
It'll be less painful for her if she did.
So, what is it?
Why'd you ask to see me if you're not gonna say anything?
Uh…
Oh, uh…
You know, I realized something recently.
This was a really good place for me to be.
I saw that some people just have to break up
even when they love someone.
So even when we let our pride get in the way, it was almost a good thing.
What I mean is…
I'm sorry, Su-ji.
For the times I didn't know better,
or when I did.
For how I hurt you the way I did.
Sorry for everything.
You know, I've always
liked you a lot, Min Su-ji.
I actually don't really like drinking yulmu tea.
But every time I ordered it,
I was able to see you a little longer.
That's why I always ordered it.
Here's your yulmu tea.
Thanks.
I mean, I really love yulmu tea, so…
When I was dating you, someone I liked so much, I really felt
like I had the whole world.
But our hearts can be petty and steer us wrong,
and I let that happen.
So… I'll honor your decision.
You don't have to come to the clinic anymore.
An Gi-jun…
And, just like you wanted to,
let's end it now, Su-ji.
I'll get going then.
Oh.
Eun-sae, this is…
This is different from how you usually cook.
I guess my taste buds changed after I almost died.
- All right, enjoy your meal. - Yeah.
- Thank you for the food. - It looks great.
- Looks special. - What to start with?
- I've never had this before. - I've never tried making this.
You're in your twenties, Gang-rok.
The Ogol chicken legs are supposed to be good for those in their thirties and up.
Then, uh, that means I qualify.
Yeah, you do, you do.
Then, I'll have an abalone.
The abalone smells a bit fishy. Well, you can eat this for us, Jang Tae-ha.
Oh, you should, uh… You should eat some too.
Ah, okay.
I can eat the chicken neck though, right?
Eat some shrimp too.
Oh, long time no see, shrimp.
Hey, there's a lot of kimchi. Eat a bunch of that.
Wow, that's a lot of kimchi.
Why am I still hungry?
Didn't it seem like the menu was designed just to help with Tae-ha's recovery?
Yeah.
Also, if they're about to break up, isn't it weird
that she said she was going to sleep over here?
She could sleep at our place, and the SES ladies' places too.
- Did she really-- - That's what I'm saying.
What's going on? Distant, but still close.
I have a sticky feeling.
Huh?
Take it off now.
Mm, uh, what now?
We have to disinfect the wound. Coach said to make sure to do it.
Ah.
Ah, uh… I, uh… I can do it myself.
Is your arm six feet long?
How are you going to disinfect a wound on your back?
No, really. It's okay.
Ah, hurry up.
You said you were a good fighter.
Guess you were lying. Look how bad you got hurt.
Well,
you must have been covering your eyes, but I fought off, like, 20 guys at first.
Oh, quiet, you.
Anyway, thanks for saving my life.
I mean,
even if we're breaking up, I'm still grateful.
When we were living together…
I felt so secure.
No matter how dangerous things got, I was never afraid.
Even the thickest concrete wall
wouldn't stand a chance against your strong shoulders.
For risking your life to protect me,
I'm truly grateful.
Just wait a little longer.
From now, I'll protect you, Jang Tae-ha.
I promise I will.
37 YEARS AGO
Keep your guard up. That's it.
Move back. Move back.
Okay. Keep your guard up.
Hello, sir!
Welcome. I'm Hong Do-yeop.
I'm new. I'm Baek Sang-gil. I watched you compete in the Asian Games.
I'm a big fan.
I see.
You already lost.
Has it been, what, 30 years now?
I think you drank about a dozen bottles back then too.
You have a good memory.
Those days…
I used to feel like shit.
I thought drinking hard liquor would wash my pain away.
What is it, then?
Did something make you angry like old times?
Angry?
It's not anger.
What would I call it?
It feels a lot shittier than that.
It's the stench of defeat.
It's been a long time since I've felt this way.
Back then, I didn't know what to do with this feeling.
I think I know now.
The only thing that can wash away defeat
is winning.
I'm gonna win.
No matter the cost.
RETURNED
Uh, hey. I have a lot of underwear here. Can I get some privacy?
Oh, okay.
There it is!
When you arrive, can you let me know what her destination was?
Goodness, if you're so worried, why don't you just take her there yourself?
I want to, but she doesn't want that.
- Fine. - Thank you.
I'll be going now.
Take care of yourself.
Go Eun-sae.
I know you said we're breaking up…
but I still like you.
If you're ever in danger,
or scared,
or if anything happens…
if you need help, then,
just call me whenever you need.
You can do that.
I'll go ahead and call when I get there.
But not you.
I'll call Jeong-hwa.
Jang Tae-ha, seriously.
She never took out that suit or the sneakers while she was staying,
but that's all she took?
Tell them to send it back now!
There's something important in there.
HONG DO-YEOP
- Yes? - Hey, are you with Gang-rok by chance?
No, I'm not. Why?
I wanted to share some food with him, but I haven't been able to reach him.
I'll go to his place, then.
Yeah, do that.
Gang-rok!
Kim Gang-rok?
What's going on with him?
Baek Sang-gil knows that you helped me,
and he's going to know that you're here.
Be careful out there.
KIM GANG-ROK MY CURRENT LOCATION
Whoa, whoa, hey! Whoa!
Come out, you shithead!
Hey, sh--
Hey!
- Come here! - Son of a--
Gang-rok!
Stay with me. Gang-rok!
I told you I'm a good fighter. Why are you here?
Hang on.
Just wait a little longer. Just until we get to the hospital.
Jeong-hwa!
Jeong-hwa! Jeong-hwa.
Jeong-hwa! Oh fuck!
Jeong-hwa!
My Jeong-hwa!
Jeong-hwa!
OUR STICKY LOVE
