Han Jae Sik
"Love can make unbelievable miracles happen."
Secretary Hyun
"You never know a person's heart."
Seo Eun Gi
"You don't love someone out of loyalty... nor out of sympathy, either."
Han Jae Hee
"The wounds I carry, she carries them too. The unshed tears in my head flow through her heart too ."
Kang Ma Ru
"When a car travels for a long distance it sometimes goes off the track, breaks down or shakes. But it's not posible to forget the destination."
Ahn Min Young
"Why is that? I love Ma Roo far more than Tae San. Wouldn't it be obvious to choose something you love more?"
Seo Eun Gi
"Love doesn't bring you food on the table. In order to have Tae San I can abandon man or love, anytime."
Han Jae Hee
"I had a dream again yesterday. In my dream, I met about a hundred people. They all said they were my father. They all said they were my friends, said they were my lovers. Said they were on my side. They all said these sweet things, but only you didn't say anything. You didn't say that you really care about me, cherish me, "The person I love is only you." I even screamed for you to say it even if it was a lie. You didn't say anything til the end, Maru. "Eun Gi, I am on your side..." You could've just said that. Then I could've believed everything. Just if you had at least said something."
Seo Eun Gi
""Eun Gi, I am on your side..." You could've just said that. Then I could've believed everything".
Seo Eun Gi
"Ma Ru: Eun Gi.
Eun Gi: Yeah?
Ma Ru: The two of us... Should we run away and live somewhere? To a place where there is no one we know. Completely, only the two of us can be there. I don't care if it's the South Pole or the North Pole. Or Africa. Just the two of us, should we go there and live? Should we, Eun Gi?"
"But it's strage, why is this house warm to me? In this world, this is the warmest place I know."
Han Jae Hee
"If I wait for him, will he come?"
Han Jae Hee
"Eun Gi has come back."
Kang Ma Ru
"It seems like a dream. I am not dreaming, right?"
Seo Eun Gi
"Eun Gi is lying. It means she doesn't believe me. It means she is angry at me. It means she can't forgive me."
Kang Ma Ru
"The direction Eun Gi is trying to go, I don't know. How you're going to go that way. What you're trying to do going that way. I don't know. With what thoughts... With what mind she is taking that way... Even if I ask, Eun Gi won't answer. The only thing I know, is that, I, next to Eun Gi who is going that way, it could be that I can't go that way with her together."
Kang Ma Ru
"Eun Gi has come back. The Eun Gi I am seeing now is not the Eun Gi I knew before. What is it that she remembers? And what is it that she forgot? What is it that she let go? And what is it that she's looking for? Even though Eun Gi has come back, I am still waiting for that kid. I won't get exhausted, won't get anxious, and won't get... impatient."
Kang Ma Ru
"You have to love my Oppa for a very long time and be happy with my Oppa for a very long time."
Kang Choco
"A person lives with the strength from their memories and love."
Kang Choco
"While I was crazy about you, my father passed away. I can't go back and face him now. Whether I get taken down or you guys get taken down, whether I bleed or you guys bleed, as long as I can defeat you guys, only if I could kill you guys, I think I can do anything."
Seo Eun Gi
"Love is... what I gave you, Noona. That is love. After you lost it, you realized how precious it was. You're regretting it to the degree you could vomit blood. No matter what price you have to pay, you want to find it again. That is love, right, Noona?"
Kang Ma Ru
"I cannot hate him. Kang Ma Roo... I must hate him, and... be angry and loathe him. With all my efforts, I could not hate him."
Seo Eun Gi
"In this world, there is no love that cannot be."
Seo Eun Gi
"I am curious. Even though I am curious, I won't ask anything. (Park: Why not?) If she forgot Kang Ma Ru completely and is eating and living well, then it would hurt me. And it would be the same if the answer was the opposite."
Kang Ma Ru
"Ma Ru: Hello? ... Hello? ... Hello? It's Eun Gi...
Eun Gi: Hi...
Ma Ru: Hi...
Eun Gi: Have you eaten lunch yet? Did you sleep well?
Ma Ru: What about you? Did you sleep well? Are you feeling discomfort anywhere?
Eun Gi: Aren't you having a hard time? As for me, I am having quite a hard time.
Ma Ru: That day you... had a fever. Wearing that sheer wedding dress, didn't you catch a cold?
Eun Gi: I hope you aren't having a hard time. I hope that you aren't having a hard time because of me.
Ma Ru: I miss you... Eun Gi. (Phone Call ends) I miss you, Seo Eun Gi. Call me tomorrow as well, Eun Gi. Your call... I will be waiting for it."
"People, you see... are ruthless and foolish. When they're young, in order to have money and power, they give up everything like health and youth. And when they get sick, become old, and have all the money and power... in order to find their health and youth again, they spend all of the wealth they've wasted so much energy and time to accumulate."
Han Jae Hee
"Because today I saw your face... I am very very happy. Take care."
Seo Eun Gi
"Everyone... has memories they can not erase no matter how hard they try. Memories... Memories are things... that will continuously change and fade. My memories... are they untarnished? My memories... are they trustworthy? What I saw that day... what was it?"
Seo Eun Gi
"I should not have met her. I should not have allowed her to come into the life of a guy like me."
Kang Ma Ru
"The tears that fill my brain are flowing through her heart as well. I gave her those wounds. I made her cry."
Kang Ma Ru
"Last night, all of a sudden... I thought of something. That's right. Kang Ma Ru and I can never be together. If I go insane again and give into the ways of love and resist and throw a fit, everybody will try to break us apart. Then I will trust those words and trust those who are going to break us apart. For the last time, I will go to him... I would hold his hands for the last time. I will hear him for the last time. I will tell him my true feelings for the last time. For the last time, we can tend to our wounds. For the last time reminisce about how we were together. Did we do the right thing? Was this the only way? Did we choose to ignore the other ways? We can talk through the night... try to get resolution through the night. If we can't agree on a resolution and if we can't give up on each other... "Don't let me go. I want to be with you." "I can't lose you like this." Can I just grab his collars and insist we be together? Because I will trust those who will break us apart."
Seo Eun Gi
"I wasn't afraid of her being resentful. I wasn't afraid of making my sick father take the responsibility. Her promise to avenge her father's death and the threatening look in her eyes made me afraid. I know revenge not only hurts you, but the people around you. I don't want to see her suffer any more."
Park Joon Ha
"I was being a hypocrite. Love doesn't mean that you own the person."
Park Joon Ha
"Sending her away and giving her up is also love. It's a bigger love than keeping her to myself. I recently realized that would make me truly happy."
Park Joon Ha
"If you really want to stab me do it without saying anything."
Kang Ma Ru
"If I tell you... I want to buy you the most expensive, shiny toy. When you get it nobody will look down on you. Everybody would look up to you. Everybody will respect you. No matter what you do everybody would compliment you. It's a toy that will do all that for you."
Han Jae Hee
"Eun Gi. Let's run away. I will go wherever you want. To where no one can find. Run away with me. Seo Eun Gi."
Kang Ma Ru
"How can a person live without love?"
Han Jae Hee
"Even without love, I can live fine alone. It's not like I've always had what I wanted. In my life not even once... I was never selfish nor full of greed. The things I want to do, the things I want, the things I wish for... have I ever even had any of those, for at least once in my whole life? I can live fine without love. I will find a way to survive. Dying is hell. Why is living supposed to be hell?"
Kang Ma Ru
"I have something I am grateful towards Han Jae Hee. For letting me meet you, Kang Ma Ru."
Seo Eun Gi
"Eun Gi asked me. At that time, in the tunnel,... why didn't I avoid the car? Even though I told Eun Gi that I don't remember, I remember the reason very clearly. At the time, I was exhausted by the world and by my lot in life, and this present life of mine even if it ended this way, I thought it wouldn't make a difference. And that in the next life, I would definitely meet Eun Gi and then the ordinary kind of love that everyone does, the simple kind of love that regardless of who they are and what they do in the world get to experience. That ordinary kind of love. I want to start all over again. This is what I think I prayed to God."
Kang Ma Ru
"And I'll definitely meet Eun Gi in the next life. When I do, I want to date like others, and be able to love like others. I think I prayed for those things. What kind of person she is... I would ask those who know her. And at times, I'd hang around outside her house. And at times, because I want to look good in front of her, I'd learn the old school "trot" dance that her father likes. And learn baduk and learn how to eat all different kinds of foods without being picky. And at times, I'd memorize all the songs of her favorite pop artists. And at times, I'd go to the place she frequents and wait for her the whole day. I'd tell her I miss her and I'd say I long for her when I do, I'd feel excitement, and gratitude. To date like other people, I think I prayed for it. And I... say my prayers again. Thank you. Now I'm... happy."
