Episode 1:
“People learn to adjust as they live their life.” – Sung Dong Il
“When everything – city and people was frightening. On that unfamiliar land, the place where we wouldn’t be outsiders was…the only place that made us feel safe was this place, my home.” – Na Jung
Episode 2:
“When a familiar habit, familiar daily life or familiar person becomes unfamiliar all of a sudden, it doesn’t have to be a chaotic event. It could merely be a secret signal that a new life or a new relationship is beginning.” – Na Jung
Episode 3:
“Occasionally, the reality is more cruel than lies.” – Na Jung
Episode 4:
“When you have to convey the truth to a loved one who will have a hard time accepting it, when you have to deliver words you’d rather die than say, you just have to think of one thing…more than any long speech, more than eloquent words, it’s the look in your eye that says that you love them – that one thing is plenty.” – Trash
Episode 5:
“In this world, there are words too difficult to say. There are words that you can’t bear to say to the ones you love. When you have to explain the pain you’ve caused another… and when you have to convey the truth to those who aren’t yet prepared for it.”- Trash
Episode 6:
“Every morning when I open my eyes, I’m amazed. You and I, we have lasted till now, living under one roof, lying under one blanket, living like this.” – Sung Dong Il
“All relationships grow more familiar and eventually get taken for granted. The strongest power of a gift is its ability to take that familiar and expected relationship and infuse it with excitement and gratitude once again. Through picking out a gift and writing the card card and considering that person, that person becomes new again. And those feelings are certain to be conveyed.” – Na Jung
“But if that familiar and expected relationship breaks down, now gifts or belated efforts become meaningless. Like a neglected orchid left to wither in the corner of a balcony, to whom belated water or care is pointless. The gift must be given and feelings conveyed before you wither, before you grow indifferent to one another.” –Na Jung
Episode 7:
“Fate is how meetings are made so we’re fated to meet.” – Haetae
Episode 8:
“Living is all about the choices you make moment by moment. Even if it’s just a log bridge, you must make a choice: Do you go forward? Do you turn around, or do you stop? Where I am now is the result of countless choices made in the past.” – Samchunpo
“Whichever path you choose, there are always lingering thoughts of the road not taken. That’s why there are no choices without regrets, and no one right answer to life. All you can do is believe that the road you have chosen is the right answer, and turn it into the right answer. The right answer to life is to believe that you don’t regret your past choices and live on.” – Samchunpo
“Believing in my past choices without regret and loving them—that is the right answer, and that’s how to grow old with style.” – Samchunpo
Episode 9:
“When I get ready to really say it, my head fills with tens of thousands of thoughts, and my mouth shuts closed. When that happens, I just need to take a deep breath and catch those floating thoughts one by one. In doing that, I discovered that what I really want to say boils down to just two or three simple words.” – Chilbong
Episode 10:
“The last time always happens without the realization that it’s the last time. Perhaps the reason that last times always hurt our hearts is out of sadness for not realizing the moment as it passes by.” – Na Jung
“Saying goodbye is sad and strange. Parting ways is never something you get used to. And if it’s a goodbye that you don’t know will be the last, even if it’s just one day’s connection, it’s still bound to leave you reeling.” – Na Jung
“Farewells are sad and unfamiliar. You never get used to saying goodbye.” – Na Jung
Episode 11:
“But of course there are many more one-sided loves in the world that never get confessed at all. The idiots who know how to get out of one but can’t do it. That’s why one-sided loves pain the heart.” – Haetae
Episode 12:
“To every guy ther is one girl you cannot touch. That’s girl name is first love.” – Na Jung
“Some people say there are miracles, and some people say there’s no such thing. But in moments of urgency, people inevitably pray and wait for a miracle. Thus, miracles need to exist- so that in all times of urgency there is some glimmer of hope for people to dwell on. Miracles need to exist.But miracles are miracles because they aren’t common. There are far more misfortunes we don’t think of than miracles we don’t expect. That is the world. Life is too cold and harsh to live believing only in miracles. In the end, miracles are a matter of probability. Miracles only exist to one person, and to the 9,999 others, are simply empty talk of that thing they call miracles. Life is cruel with its absolute and overwhelming probability. But still, miracles are needed. Rather than the despair of a zero probability that will never come to pass, a ten-million-to-one chance is better. That is how hope exists.” – Na Jung
“What is the probability that out of seven billion people on the planet, the person I like would like me back? Right now a miracle might happen to me.” – Na Jung
Episode 13:
“Effort is not seen—what people see is only the result. That’s why other people’s success might get called genius or luck.” – Chilbong
“It is said that in order to achieve success in one field, ten thousand hours are required. The ten-thousand-hour rule. For Mozart and the Beatles and Steve Jobs and Kim Yuna, it was not an innate genius or good luck that created their success, but the effort and pain of more than ten thousand hours of work. It could be that work, relationships, and love are like that. In order to achieve that accomplishment, you can’t wait for an innate something to show up or a stroke of luck—you have to work hard and try and suffer till the very end. It ain’t over ’til it’s over.” – Chilbong
Episode 14:
“There are things you can never know until you try them. That there are sights you can not see until you go places.” – Haetae
“Impressive dreams are those that defy family and rise above one’s situation. But most of us can’t bear to step on the ones we love, and in the bitter end we take it upon ourselves to lay down our own dreams. But it’s okay. There’s no need to be discouraged by the dramatic sweat of success or swayed by a setback or the feeling that you lost. To us, people were simply just as important as dreams. The decision to change myself for the people I love—is a pretty impressive thing.” – Na Jung
Episode 15:
“Dreams always drive me and cause me to change. But what drives and changes me even more than that is the rival I meet at the corner on my way to those dreams.” – Chilbong
“We did things that we never would have thought to do if not for love. What changes the world is love.” – Na Jung
Episode 17:
“If you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear. The deeper love grows, and the more you don’t want to lose it, the more your fear grows. Love feeds on fear.” – Binggeure
“Love grows by eating up fear. But the way to overcome the fear in love is iltimately, love again.” – Binggeure
Episode 18:
“Being out of sight puts someone out of your heart. I just thought they were words to describe regular couples, While we were a very special couple. in front of time, in front of life, that specialness was becoming very average. Like anyone, we were becoming negligent and like everyone, we became buried. Eventually we became accustomed to that negligence. Like that, we became a very un-special couple. And like that, without breaking up, we had broken up.” – Na Jung
Episode 19:
“Do you know what’s the biggest love in the world? It’s sacrifice.” – Na Jung
“Sometimes there are moments when I really feel like there is a God. Even if there is not, there are times I feel like there has to at least be a something like fate to explain certain situations. This exquisite coincidence, this unbelievable timing, this ingenious reversa. It’s possible that my fate is playing a game with me.” – Na Jung
“Fate is damned. Fate is cruel. And Fate… is strong. Fate throws us into dilemmas, traps us in corners where we can’t do a thing, and in the bitter end, even ignores our sincere prayers. That’s how Fate is damned. That’s how Fate is cruel and strong.” – Trash
“Another reason why Fate is cruel and strong? Timing, you can’t predict. This is how Fate is cruel.” – Chilbong
Episode 21:
“There is a time for everything.” – Samchunpo
