Romantic attack, Cho Ye-chan!
Male / Mid-30s / Popular photographer comparable to celebrities
Romantic is my life, Cho Ye-chan!
Once you really like someone, you don’t have time to play hard to get.
Isn’t it true love that you like so much as your reason is paralyzing ?
My personality...If I like, I need to revel everything to relieve my feelings,
I want to pretend to be an easy-going girl, a cool girl, contrary to my true feelings,
That make me feel comfortable.
To be honest, I'm very far from the push-pull flirting.
So, the guys I met looked down on me a little bit.
They met me because I looked like chic and cold, thought I was a fox, but it turned out I was a pushover.
This kind of dedicated style... I guess it's not popular these days?
Well, I'm not good at playing hard to get, so as they drag me, I was dragged and under control around.
It ends with only getting hurt. But I can't express my feeling anywhere.
I looked like a fool.
So, please!
I wanted to be a ‘fairy of love.’
It’s good to have skills that I have to deal with people in my job anyway.
I wanted to be the best, the winner, and the upper hand in a relationship through ‘the push-pull flirting.’ It’s little awkward for me, who’s using 'the push-pull flirting' against my instincts, but what else could I do? That’s how I can win people’s hearts.
I, I want to get married.
I’ve had enough of breaking up.
I’m tired of dating without a purpose, and I hope casual relationships just pass by me and I don’t want to do the push-pull flirting that that doesn’t fit me instincts any more.
I want to find perfect stability.
I hope the chaotic dating era ends now.
Then one day, a man attracted me.
Well, he’s handsome and cool, but it turns out he’s a person who doesn’t believe in marriage.
He's running at me because he likes me,
But in the end, I would be the only one who was hurt and I didn't want to start this relationship from the beginning.
So, I curved him for the first time in my life, but this guy thinks that I play hard to get.
He's saying I'm a fairy of love.
No, man. I really hate you. Don't come near me.
If I really fall in love, I can't even play hard to get.
You've already set the end, but I'm running like don't know it's the end
So, stop.
Actually, I didn’t want to be hurt.
I wanted to hide my soft heart and cover by pretending not to like you, being coy and foxy.
It turns out that the push-pull flirting is only possible if I don’t have a lot of heart.
Holding a person’s heart in my hand, pushing it, pulling it, turning away like cool even though it’s hot.
At first, it was possible to act like that because I didn’t have a lot of heart,
But my heart is getting heavier. I think it’s becoming more sincere.
You got it now, right? This is the last warning.
I’m not playing hard to get, I’m not curving you, so, get back from me.
Otherwise,
I might really love you to death.
What does “the push-pull flirting” mean for her?
It’s a vital survival tactic
to me who get hit by human relationships.
A defense mechanism to cover
my deepest, softest heart.
First of all, I haven't seen a married couple living well around me.
Married guys always say that
the most enviable thing in the world is a bachelor.
If you regret getting married, or regret not doing it, why do you have to spend your money regretting it?
If you say you get married, I'll keep you stop from doing it with packing a lunch box.
Actually, isn't marriage a little disadvantageous for men?
How much is the house price in downtown Seoul, how can a man do it all? It would be possible if it's half and half.
Does it make sense to spend money like a sinner?
I'm not confident that I have to live for my wife and children rather than myself.
Actually, I'm afraid of 'responsibility'.
A vow, if you turn around, you never know when it will change, it's just terrible.
No matter how much I love you, I'm not confident in taking responsibility for you, so we'll just live together.
I hope you don't want more than that from me.
That's my limit.
My image that was afraid of such a deep relationship
may have seen to others as a 'fairy of love.'
In fact, I've been concealing from women.
About my cop-out propensity, for its irresponsibility.
Then one day, a woman caught my eyes.
Just because I don't believe in marriage, doesn't mean I don't do dating. I should enjoy it more.
The woman who couldn't take care of her future because she was preparing for someone else's marriage.
She's..pretty.
But she's kind of playing hard to get.
Hey, it's rare for a master of push-pull flirting like me to hang on to this much.
It's been a while since I've had a spark in my heart, so let's date like a flame.
And when the flame goes off, we can turn away. End on a high note.
But when I saw her sincerely preparing for someone's marriage, I realized.
Marriage is not about their pride because they are so nice.
Marriage is about trying to be better people for each other people.
Looking back, I don't think I've ever tried to be a better person.
Not the way you treat people on the outside.
I've never really tried to change myself.
As a determined person who won't get married, I'm starting to change.
There's a condition that says, "I won't get married even if I die." "If it's not her."
I've been so immature all this whole time.
I wasn't good man enough to get married.
By the way, I want to try to be a better person even now.
The realization is not too late, is it?
It may be really late, but I'm going to catch her now.
I hope you cheer for me... You'll do it, right?
What does “marriage” mean for him?
It's definitely crazy.
It's an incredible decision the old me would never have imagined.
The two immature man and woman learn consideration and communication through marriage,
I wanted to capture a story of growing up little by little with faith in each other.
Not only in love, but in a lot of relationships, ‘It really needs to play hard to get!’
1. Two brides for one wedding
‘You know so many billions of dollars are in this contract today, right?’
Of course I do. I stayed up for several days and nights for the construction of a resort. I know it obviously.
Finally, the honored guests from Macau have arrived on the first floor of Sungjin Construction.
To greet them, all the working staff came out and bowed their heads politely.
With each step they took, I could feel a heavy tension.
Both knows how much it is burdensome to make a contract.
Soon after, the door of the office opened wide, and a cool breeze blew in, then a figure of a slender man was standing in the sunlight by the window.
“Greetings. I’m Kwon Ji-hyuk, a Managing Director of Sungjin Construction
As he approached closer, there was a change in the facial expressions of the Macao VIPs.
For the successor of Sungjin Construction, and the head of this huge project, he was quite a young, too handsome, and very attractive man than I had imagined.
His facial expression was so cool and sexy as if he is always with a refreshing wind.
His aura of self-confidence was so radiant.
When he speaks, he frowns one eyebrow which is so charming.
In an instant, he smiled very brightly.
“You flew far to Korea, but guess what.”
And no one believed the words just came out of his mouth.
“We’re not going to deal with it.”
“……!”
It was like a bomb had been dropped in the hall.
Kang Sang-hoo, his secretary got surprised the most who took the honored guests from Incheon Airport.
‘Why is he acting crazy now?’
The interpreter was so surprised and said the words in her head.
Then the honored guests look like they’re blanked out...
And suddenly all of the lights in the office turned off and a black shade was coming down and the room was caught up in darkness.
Then the light of the projector gave out a flash off all of sudden.
Ji-hyuk pointed to the white screen with a relaxed face.
“The size should be great like this...”
A blueprint was on the screen which is two or three times larger than before.
“……!”
His face is in pure white light and curve line is so attractive.
He’s having a confident smile, like a male actor who knows that he will receive the Best Actor award today.
While everyone is all surprised and his secretary Kang muttered through gritted teeth.
“He’s playing games!”
[An attack for being a hard-to-get -- first punch]
.
.
.
His first punch really worked. Already all the discussion was done with the new design.
“We couldn’t secure the land over there, but how are you going to increase the size?”
The red dot on the laser pointer pointed towards the newly expanded land.
“We will take care of that. This land is owned by a Korean corporation.”
Ji-hyuk quickly asked the secretary Kang who was next to him.
“Is this company land owned by Se-ryeon’s father?”
Ji-hyuk came up with a recent advertisement for color cosmetics with a sophisticated and sexy concept.
“OK. I’ll handle it.”
What would actress want? I’ll just let her shoot an advertisement of the apartment.
“Do you have a portfolio of resorts or hotels built by Sungjin Construction?”
The business team instantly got frozen by a question from Macau, which touched the core.
Unfortunately, there was no such portfolio, but Ji-hyuk looks relaxed from the beginning.
“We have something greater than that.”
As Ji-hyuk pressed the button, the electric shade that was covering one side of the window went up.
“Look over there.”
The honored guests were open-mouthed by the overwhelming scenery beyond the window.
A European castle built in the middle of Gangnam.
“This is the best wedding hall in Korea, Roan.”
.
.
.
That was truly a fantastic building.
I felt like I am moved from Gangnam to Europe instantly, where buildings were densely packed where nobles lived.
A huge building, and an incredibly luxurious interior.
Any bride may dream of having a royal wedding here, but go back with tears in her eyes at the cost of billions of dollars.
It looked such a beautiful, expensive and valuable place.
Ji-hyuk had the honored guests who were astonished by such a great building enter Roan.
“Oh, is this the wedding hall? Very spacious!”
“We considered the number of guests. For today’s wedding, five hundred guests are expected to come.”
“Wouldn’t be any problem on wedding with many guests?”
“Of course no problem. Would you like to see a today’s Korean wedding?”
Soon after, a very skinny woman with intelligent-looking approached them.
“Greetings. I’m Seol Young-hee, a general manager of Roan. Come this way.”
Ji-hyuk had her guide them for the inside of the building.
But the secretary Kang approached Ji-hyuk with a gentle smile then started to argue with him as soon as the honored guests got far away from him.
“We’re not going to deal with it.” -- Where did you learn that kind of skill? Teach me.”
Ji-hyeok is is an old friend of the secretary Kang, but he just can’t get used to it.
His trickster technique to attract people.
“The first law for being a hard-to-get! First punch!”
“But why did you hit me? Am I not your side?”
“You don’t want me to teach you?”
“Alright, keep going.”
This is his way.
He’s got a strange talent to move a person’s heart.
The secretary Kang feels annoyed for he’s skill is always good.
“I didn’t fall in love with you, absolutely not. I will never fall in love with you forever. So I won’t dwell on you.”
Ji-hyuk knew.
He knew how to be the winner in a hard-to-get game. How to be the winner in a relationship.
How to control other’s mind.
He deserves the nicknames, a king of playing a hard-to-get!
He knows how to speak to the heart.
He’s got a perfect looking and miraculous weapon.
If a handsome boy with an attractive charm plays a hard-to-get, there is no woman who wouldn’t fall for it.
His eyes seem to have already predicted the reaction of the others, and he’s thinking himself as a winner of the game -- he’s got infinite charm.
“You said you want to stay single, but that’s to keep women dangling for you, huh?”
No surprise that his followers are dangling for him because such a perfect guys states clearly that he’ll stay single.
“The women are not much of a difference. If only I had met an angelic woman...”
At that very moment,
The very moment when Ji-hyuk was about to bluff … !
A woman appeared like fate and miracle.
The woman was walking through a halo of light from the other side.
She’s so beautiful, dazzling and brilliant, and approaching him sniffishly.
He thought she’s like Venus and the world was all blurry except her.
Suddenly he lost sense of reality and and the whole world seems to move in slow motion.
The world is moving around her direction. It’s following her bright light.
“What? did you just say you could’ve married if you’ve found an angelic woman?”
Kwon couldn’t hear what just he replied because he’s so focused on her.
Life is unexpectable.
He said that there is no nice woman in the world but the power of his power lost in a second.
It was the first time for him to see such a wonderfully beautiful woman in the world.
“Hey, Kwon, what are you doing? Are you crushed on her?”
He must admit that this kind of feeling is like falling in love.
He is a popular guy being loved by all of the women and king of playing a hard-to-get -- he’s never been zoned out by woman for over 30 years.
“Don’t tell me you’re crushed on her. She’s getting married today!”
Clicking- As soon as he said, a camera on the other side pops the flash.
Now Kwon seems to came to himself.
‘She’s a bride.’
Ji-hyuk then realized.
He wondered why she looked as the only brilliant person in the world and she’s not even a goddess coming down from the sky.
She was wearing wedding dress....
She’s now going to waiting room of the bride.
As if a fairy is disappeared or the woman like an angelic goddess on advertisement for 15 seconds is finished, she’s not in sight of him.
“Why?”
“Why for what?”
He didn’t know the reason but somehow he felt so frustrated.
‘Why I’ve just met the most beautiful woman in my life?’
‘Why is she getting married today? And in our company-owned wedding hall.....?’
“Are you really crushed on her? Pull yourself together. You’re not a weirdo. You’re not a bad ass who’s immoral!”
“No, I’m not.”
He calmed down by what his friend said but still his eyes are on her.
“Where are you going?”
Now his steps are approaching toward her.
“Hey! What are you thinking? Are you going to play a hard-to-get? You crazy! She’s getting married in 10 minutes!”
“I’ll just say hello to her and let her know I’m an executive here.”
“He’s so uncontrollable. He doens’t give up until the game ends.”
He didn’t have bad intentions. He just wanted to touch her fingertips as he’s crushed on a woman for the first time.
But the wedding helper blocked his way.
“My bride, please come this way. I’ll fix your make-up.”
Now the fabric partition is setting up in front of her.
And her silhouette is magically seen through.
She’s got a beautiful silhouette. That’s amazing.
And below the fabric partition, the hem of her white dress was spread wide.
Like the bubble of Venus, mysteriously.
“Excuse me. Let me shut the door.”
Soon, her silhouette was getting disappeared through the gap in the door that was closing.
Ji-hyuk looked at it to the end as if he will cherish this moment for good.
He wanted to remember her who just pierced his heart in an instant.
Have I ever been so zoned out by a woman?
Me? Seriously? I’m a king of playing a hard-to-get!
But that was not true. The real queen was there. She’s getting married soon right there.
.
.
.
.
When she’s having a blank face, she seems to be cold and haughty.
When something bad happens to her or when she wants to hide her emotions, she makes such a face.
But she usually hear that she’s clumsy for her beautiful face and she’s got a cute face but she has a bad luck with guys.
Her name is Lee Sae-A, an angelic goddess of her life, and she’s frowning her face as soon as the door to the bride’s waiting room closes.
“Helper! What should I do?!”
She’s wearing a pure white wedding dress and a translucent veil, but having a deep, flesh-colored blush on her cheeks.
She’s got something urgent. Or she’s bewildered.
“I’m going to the ceremonial hall! I’m so afraid!”
She didn’t want to go to the ceremonial hall, so she’s dragging her dress, looking for somewhere to hide, like somewhere to run away.
“How can I marry him? Me and Yoon Gyeong-hun?”
‘Should I open the window and jump? Then can I run away from him?’
She was even thinking about it seriously, but at that time, the host mentioned that the wedding will begin soon.
Her heart sank when she heard it.
The closed door is getting opened and a newcomer who just joined this wedding hall came in.
“My bride, it’s time to go.”
Her job isn’t that difficult. Her job is just guiding brides to go to the ceremonial hall.
“No! I’m never going to the hall!”
Can’t believe it. She’s a very beautiful bride and but shouting that she can’t go to the hall.
“Huh? Why? What’s the reason?”
.
.
.
At that time, Ji-hyuk was watching that the honored guests are sitting in the hall from the media room on the second floor.
“This ceremony cost tens of billions of dollars. If you make a mistake today, pay it back from generation to generation.”
Ji-hyeok’s tough voice echoed on the wireless set and all of the staff started to move fast.
Today’s ceremony should never have any problems. But his real intention was different.
‘I hope she won’t get married today.’
Just at that minute, he heard something strange.
“What should we do? The bride is insisting not to go to the hall! She said never!”
What? Refusing to go to the hall?
As soon as he heard that, he went down to the first floor and ran to the bride’s room.
As he opened the door, the bride and the wedding staffs were having struggle.
“What are you doing?!”
“Don’t tell me I should go to the hall. I’m never going to the hall.”
“Why all of sudden?”
From a beautiful bride’s mouth, harsh language just spilled out.
“Why should I get married to that asshole?!”
He just blanked out by that word but soon pulled himself together.
“My bride, there are over 500 guests here.”
Even the honored guests from Macau.
“So what?”
“So get up. Are you not getting married?”
“No! I’ll just go home. Leave me alone!”
“Come on, are you insane? Get up!”
But he found that he’s acting strange.
He just crushed on her but why is he encouraging her to get married?
Soon, the host said out loud “Groom comes in!”
The ceremony just began.
“If you don’t go to hall,”
“……!”
“You have to date with me.”
He just said it because she’s so stubborn.
“Well, okay!”
She just said ‘Yes.’ She didn’t want to get married that much.
What?
He’s blanked out.
But in the hall, the host said out loud “Bride comes in!”
Everyone got surprised because bride is not coming in.
But at that time, one woman kicked the door in, and said.
“Phew, I’m here!”
Another woman came in. Another bride wearing a white wedding dress.
What? Why two brides for the wedding?
Ji-hyuk got literally freezed.
He’s the owner of this wedding hall. But he had no clue why this is happening.
Is a polygamous marriage allowed in Korea?
