You Are The Best,Lee Soon Shin
Teacher!
You should leave now.
- Let me say just one word. - One word? Just go away.
You heard her!
- Just give me one minute! - Hell no!
Teacher, wait! Please open the door!
Let me say one word, please!
What are you doing here?
Mr. Shin...
Joon Ho.
Are you stupid?
How many times do I have to tell you?
Why are you being treated like this here? Are you stupid?
I'm glad you came. I have something to tell you. Come in.
No, I have nothing to say to you.
Let's go.
Let me go. Where the heck are we going?
What did I say to you before?
I told you not to contact her, didn't I?
It's my fault.
This happened because I came here without telling her before.
Don't you get it?
You're getting her wrong. Don't you know how selfish that woman is?
She didn't have any expectation from you from the beginning.
What she has done for you was all fake.
What are you trying to say? What do you know about her?
Don't talk bad about Teacher Song.
Maybe she was faking at the beginning but she isn't now.
You made the contract with me, not her.
Who you have to believe and follow is me.
I know.
Listen to me. You can be a great actress without her help.
Just believe me and follow my lead.
Did Mr. Shin leave?
Yeah.
You really should stop the bet.
He's a little suspicious.
Don't you think he cares about her too much?
You might lose him forever.
Teacher, I'm not that incompetent.
You never know what will happen between a man and a woman.
Just admit your feelings for him and stop the bet.
Why are you doing things that will catch up with you later?
Soon Shin is smarter than we think.
If you ignore her, you will pay for it later.
You get what I'm saying?
[Here's Park Bok Man's number.]
Get us some tea, please.
Hey, do it right! You are not cleaning anything!
You're getting lazy again!
I'm doing my best. What's wrong with you?
Hello?
Is this Park Bok Man?
Yes, this is Park Bok Man.
Do you remember me? I'm Hwang Il Do.
You're who?
Hey, Bok Man, you haven't forgotten about me, have you?
I'm Il Do. Hwang Il Do.
You don't remember me just because it has...
been a long time since I left home?
Oh, Il Do!
Of course, I remember you.
- Who's that? - Can I see you now?
Now?
Hey!
- Long time no see! - Yes, a very long time no see!
You didn't get old at all. You look the same as before!
I look old now. You look exactly the same as before.
Really?
By the way, why did you want to see me?
How did you find my number?
When I met one of my old friends, I asked for your number.
Oh, really?
I heard about Chang Hoon.
How did that happen?
It's really sad. Who would think he would die like that?
He got in a car accident.
There were no witnesses?
Hopefully the police will find someone soon.
Does Kyung Sook know about it?
No, of course she doesn't.
She doesn't even know that I'm meeting with you.
If she finds out about Chang Hoon, it will break her heart.
As you know, her situation is so different from when she was younger.
What's the point of telling her?
Yeah.
I wanted to see you because there's something I need to ask you.
What? What is it?
The baby...
Do you know what Chang Hoon did with the baby?
What?
I'm talking about Kyung Sook's daughter.
He didn't raise the baby, did he?
What?
No. How could he raise the baby?
Yeah, you're right. He couldn't do that.
- He had a family to take care of. - Yeah.
I heard he sent her to an orphanage.
Which orphanage?
Um... well...
Where was it? Um...
I think...
It has been such long time, you know.
The name of the orphanage was...
I don't remember the name of it.
But I heard it's somewhere in Suwon.
- Suwon? - Yeah.
Why do you ask?
Is Kyung Sook looking for her daughter?
No, no. She's not.
She stopped keeping in touch with him after she gave the baby away to him.
Really?
But I heard she met him before he died.
What? You probably misheard him.
Why would they meet?
Really? Okay.
Make a list of all the girls that came to an orphanage in Suwon that year.
We don't have time.
And if she was adopted, find out where.
Bye.
Do you know what she said about you?
She said you're not patient and don't have passion.
Why do you respect that woman so much that you call her a teacher?
She taught you because she was bored but now she abandoned you because she's busy?
What kind of woman is she?
Mom, she's not that type of person.
Are you taking her side now?
I wasn't good enough. If I had done better...
she would've kept teaching me.
She abandoned you!
Mom...
Jeong Ae, are you there?
How are you?
- Where's Grandmother? - She went to see friends.
What brought you here?
Um...
What? What is it?
So, it's...
It's...
What's the matter?
He came to find me.
He?
Yeah, Kyung Sook's...
I know Song Mi Ryung's manager. He's from my hometown. He came to find me.
Why?
He asked me about Soon Shin.
Soon Shin?
He asked me if Chang Hoon raised her.
The cold sweat broke out all over me.
Why is she looking for her daughter all of a sudden?
Why now?
Jeong Ae, don't worry.
I made it clear.
You made it clear?
I told him that Chang Hoon sent her to an orphanage.
You don't have to worry. Don't worry.
Everything's okay.
Why did you say that? You should've told him everything.
Jeong Ae...
Why don't you tell him everything...
that Chang Hoon's wife raised Song Mi Ryung's daughter?
She was stupid enough to raise that woman's daughter.
Jeong Ae...
Do you know how I'm enduring this now?
Whenever I see Soon Shin, it reminds me of a man who deceived me all this time.
Jeong Ae...
I wish she found out about this and took Soon Shin away from me.
So I don't have to feel nervous about Soon Shin meeting that woman.
Don't say that, Jeong Ae!
How are you going to live without her?
You love Soon Shin so much. So does she!
If she loved me, she wouldn't hang around with that woman.
That's because...
She doesn't know anything. It's just her blood that...
You're right. Her blood recognizes her mother.
To portray Lee Soon Shin to the public with a certain image...
I've classified how the public thinks about other female celebrities.
Show me the names that are over 20 years old.
Lee Soon Shin's real personality is cheerful and bright.
How about we benchmark Suji?
That's the trend now anyway.
Suji had a lot of potential before she made her debut.
How about we benchmark Moon Geun Young instead?
If she can't be the best, she should be the first.
We don't need to make a second version. We need only one, the first one.
She should have her own uniqueness to appeal people.
The key word that would pop up in people's...
head when they hear about Lee Soon Shin is...
A pure innocent girl that has a mysterious appeal.
Emotion, freedom, healing...
Fantasy and first love.
Get the best colorist, photographer, stylist, hair designer, and makeup artist.
And make her profile again.
And Mr. Cha, find a drama or movie that will air...
in a few months and need to cast a new actress.
And Mr. Oh, find CF's or music videos.
Don't forget that the roll should be something that will enhance this image.
Mr. Shin...
If we do that, it will be very hard to manage her after she makes a debut.
This is what this agency is for.
A star isn't born. A star is made.
And it will be made by me.
What's this?
One of the requirements to being a star is exposure.
Exposure? No!
Why not?
I won't take it off! I can't do that!
- There's nothing interesting to see. - Yes, there is.
I'm talking about an image that would appeal...
to the public after you make your debut.
Even if you're a good actress and are pretty...
Without planning, you can't be popular.
But if you provide a image that the public wants to see at the right time...
being popular will be a piece of cake.
But finding what the public wants and which...
image they want to see takes planning.
You don't have to know all this. All you have to do is what I tell you.
Anyway, you're not Lee Soon Shin anymore.
Do your best to throw away your old self.
A pure and innocent girl...
Knitting?
How may I help you?
Mom.
Aren't you supposed to be working at the restaurant?
I came here just for a second.
What are you doing here, Mom?
Are you Soon Shin's mother?
I came to see Mr. Shin. He's in the office, isn't he?
Yes.. follow me please.
Mr. Shin, you have a visitor.
- Who? - Soon Shin's mother.
Hello.
How are you?
Have a seat.
Bring some coffee.
What brings you here?
I came to give you back the down payment.
I don't want my daughter to get her feelings hurt.
- Mrs. Lee... - Please cancel the contract.
Please listen to me for a second.
I'm doing the best I can.
Trust me and wait. I can make her a great star.
Aren't you going to use her when you need to and keep her distant when you don't?
I'm not going to do that.
I'm also disappointed in Teacher Song.
I'm going to pay her back for this.
Give me 6 months.
You're going to pay her back?
Yes, I understand you're mad at her.
I'm mad at her, too.
What can you do in 6 months?
Then give me one month. Please.
I'll make it happen in a month.
Please. Give me a chance.
Fine. I'll wait one month.
It's only one month. You said that it will be in one month.
After one month, you need to stop.
Even if Soon Shin wants to keep going, you need to stop her.
You understand?
Yes, I do.
Here's the document you want.
It's a list of dramas, movies, CF's and music videos...
that would enhance Soon Shin's image.
Looking at this, we think this Wednesday and Thursday drama airing soon will be good.
The writer is Kim Jeong Hee and the main character is Kim Nami.
With them, we don't have to worry about the quality or the ratings.
Soon Shin will play a main character's sister.
She's an innocent girl who has to watch her brother take revenge.
Brother, stop doing this.
She will attract the public with this character.
When will it air?
In two months.
Then no. Is there anything that will air in a month?
In a month? I removed them from the list because it's too soon.
No, it has to be in a month. Go make another list.
Yoo Shin, do you have a date or something?
No, I don't.
You look suspicious... I think you do.
I said I don't.
You have a lot of time?
Did you prepare the presentation that I asked you to do before?
Yep. Almost.
Yoo Shin, your friend we saw the other day... you said he's not your boyfriend.
Why?
Are you sure he's just a friend?
Yes.
Then introduce him to me.
Why didn't you tell me you have that hot friend?
He has a girlfriend.
Really?
Yeah.
I heard his girlfriend is hot!
I see.
There's no way that a guy like him would be single.
Congratulations!
What's this?
You're the 10,000th customer for our grand opening event!
That was weird.
Here's a free drink coupon.
We're taking pictures of customers for the event. Would you like to participate?
Taking pictures?
Yes, please.
Hey.
Why not?
Look at the camera.
Aren't you guys a couple? Look more affectionately. Get closer.
Just take the picture, please.
1, 2, 3!
What are you doing?
Why not? Can't a couple do this?
Thank you.
See? Since you started dating me, all the luck has come to you.
I think God is blessing our first date.
Don't you think so?
You aren't taking that picture home, are you?
Why not?
I was going to put it in my wallet.
I'm going to show off that my girlfriend is so pretty.
Hey dude!
The rules! The rules!
You forgot about them already? You shouldn't call me hey or dude!
From now on, call me Chan Woo.
Baby would be better.
Your foot hurts?
Have a seat over there. I'll give you a massage.
Are you crazy? It's okay.
This is our neighborhood.
Why not? It's dark now.
You should've worn comfortable shoes.
Wearing those make your feet hurt, don't they?
I did this for you.
You're pretty even in gym shoes.
You're so cheesy.
I usually feel comfortable in these shoes. I just walked a lot today.
Rule number three, do not control each other. You forgot already?
Don't control what I wear.
I'm not controlling you. I'm just saying you're pretty whatever you wear.
Is it controlling?
But a guy eventually ends up saying...
'Your skirt is too short, your nails are too showy...'
Fine, fine. I won't.
Wait for me.
What are you doing? What if someone sees us?
It's okay.
Nobody's watching.
Chan Woo?
Yoo Shin?
We ran into each other at the bus stop, you know.
Did I ask you that?
- Bye then. - Bye.
What's wrong with her?
Well...
I don't know.
Let's go.
Just like before relax. And step. 1, 2...
Relax your shoulders.
1,2... Look more natural.
- Are you doing alright? - Yes.
- Why did my mom come? - Just because...
She approved of you.
Really? Are you sure?
Do your best. Your debut has been moved forward.
Why all of a sudden?
Let's just do it fast.
It's not going to make a difference anyway.
For your mother, push even harder. Okay?
Okay.
Why have you been coming home so late recently?
Me?
I've had a lot of work to do lately.
You should stop working. Find a good man and get married.
Grandma, she said she's not going to get married.
She says that because she doesn't have a boyfriend.
That's not it, Grandma!
Then do you have a boyfriend?
I always have a boyfriend.
Why marry? Just live alone.
What are you saying, Jeong Ae?
Why, Grandmother? A lot of people these days do that.
You have a nice job. Why did you get married?
You might get betrayed by your husband.
I can't believe you just said that. You're so my style, today.
- What are you talking about? - Do you want more rice, Woo Joo?
No, Grandma. I'm done.
Mom.
Do you want more soup?
No. I'm okay.
When did you say your picnic is, Woo Joo?
It's next week.
Mom.
I should go grocery shopping this weekend.
Grandmother, how about wormwood soup for dinner?
Sure. That sounds good.
Hey, Mom.
Mom, Soon Shin is calling you.
I'll go make some scorched-rice water.
She's still mad at Soon Shin.
She went to find Mr. Shin and approved me to be an actress yesterday.
Really?
Then why is she acting like that?
Is that really true? She really approved that?
No way.
You really should stop the bet.
He's a little suspicious.
Don't you think he cares about her too much?
You never know what will happen between a man and a woman.
You might lose him forever.
- Oh my. You're here. - Hi.
- Doctor Shin is in the office, right? - Yes. Follow me.
- Hi. - Hi.
Doctor Shin, Choi Yeon Ah is here.
- Hello. - Have a seat here.
How was the treatment?
Were you satisfied?
Yes. People around me said my skin got so much better.
If a lot customers come, it's because of me.
I'd appreciate it.
Oh, and take this.
What's that?
It's just a little gift for you. I wanted to thank you for the treatment.
It's okay. I would just take your appreciation.
- What? - I did what I was supposed to do.
You also paid for the treatment.
You don't need to give me a gift.
It's just a little thing.
It's a rule. Give it to a friend or something.
I have another patient to see.
Okay.
Bye. I'll see you later.
You're not dating a girl, are you?
Are you kidding me?
I have so many things to take care of. Are you making fun of me?
I have to take care of her now.
What relationship do you have with Choi Yeon Ah?
What relationship? She's just an actress that I want to scout.
- Doctor Shin. - Hey, Doctor Park.
I sent you a report for the seminar. Did you get it?
Yeah, I just did. Good job. Are you busy?
No, I'm not busy.
I need to discuss the cosmetics business.
Yi Jung, when did you come?
Why is Dad with him?
- Aren't you... - Oh!
You must be Joon Ho's sister. We met at Teacher Song's house.
Yes, I am.
- You're so pretty. - Thank you.
You look a lot like Joon Ho. Your nose and eyes.
No way. I don't look like my brother at all.
That's an insult to me.
You don't get along with him?
He's like an enemy to me.
He didn't tell me he had a sister. I didn't know.
He never told me about his family.
Your father is such a stubborn man.
I was so embarrassed at the hospital.
That's my dad. He doesn't like celebrities.
He ran away from home because he wanted to be a singer.
I understand Dad.
I see.
Are you close with my brother?
Yeah. A little.
We were very close a long time ago.
A long time ago?
When?
When I was preparing for my debut.
We helped each other when we both had difficulties.
I guess you guys were really really close.
It's all in the past anyway. I didn't know he had such a pretty sister.
Yeah. I get that a lot.
You look so much better in real life than on TV.
You're so beautiful.
Really? Thank you.
- That scarf... - What?
Where did you get that?
I saw it in a magazine. I was going to buy it but it was sold out already.
You're lucky to have that.
Really? Do you want it?
Really?
- No. It's okay. - No. You can keep this.
I got it as a gift. But it's really worth it if I get it from somebody I love.
Here.
I'm okay.
Come on. Try it on.
How do I look?
Wow. That's so pretty. That looks better on you.
No way!
I'm a fan! I've watched every drama and movie you've been in.
You did?
I'm going to show off to my friends. Let's take a picture together.
1, 2, 3.
Can I have your number? Let's have lunch sometime.
Really? Can I contact you?
Of course, you can. Let's hang out sometime.
Lee Soon Shin.
Who are they?
Colorist, Make-up designer, and stylist.
What do you think? You think we can go with the plan?
You have a cream-beige-peach skin tone.
Your skin would go very well with a warm color like yellow.
The lovely, cute image you planned will fit her very well.
A pure-white dress with lace as a point. I'll try to emphasize her femininity.
And for accessories, instead of gold, 14k white gold would look better.
Transparent makeup with peach and orange blush will be used to freshen her face.
For hair, she will need some...
- What is it called? - Wave?
Wave. A light wave will emphasize her romantic side.
Okay. Let's go with that.
- Follow them. - What?
Just follow them.
Hey, what are they doing?
Making art.
Art?
What's taking so long?
Good art takes a long time to finish.
Who is she?
Are you really Soon Shin?
This isn't me, is it?
Listen to that laughter. That's not a girl's laughter.
And you turn your toes out. You know that?
Straighten your back.
Sit down.
Can't you sit down lightly like a princess?
Watch your steps, what you eat and everything.
I want to be protected.
Please protect me. Make people feel that. Okay?
And make that expression on your face.
Do I really have to do this?
I told you that you made the contract with me.
I'm A and you're B. You don't have a choice.
Sure, Mr. Shin.
Can't you think of this like your acting class? Do your best!
The public doesn't want the truth.
All they want is fantasy.
Even if you're really good at acting, if you don't...
provide them the fantasy, you can't be a star.
You think I can do that?
A mysterious yet pure and innocent girl?
Being innocent is but one removed from being stupid.
- Shoot. - Shoot?
Don't use that word.
From now on, you will learn how to walk, how to talk and how to smile.
Don't be lazy. Be a girl that makes my heart flutter. Please.
I'm a girl too!
And what's the point of making your heart flutter?
If you can make my heart flutter, you can make everybody's heart flutter.
Do you know what a difficult man I am?
Sure, sure. Whatever.
Say, 'Sure. Okay.'
Sure. Okay.
Why are you not getting better? Just try your best.
Boss.
I'm sorry I made the place a mess.
It was fun and I got to see the pretty side of you.
By the way, you sure you can keep doing this?
It seems very hard.
I know. It doesn't seem easy at all.
Does Joon Ho have to do that?
Your charm is being free and easy.
Whatever you do, don't lose yourself.
That way you can be happy anywhere and anytime.
What are you doing, Boss?
Is that your pick-up line?
It's so outdated.
This is why you don't have a girlfriend and cook here everyday.
What's wrong with that? I like it.
I should write it down somewhere before I forget.
Are you drinking coffee?
Yeah. I think I have spring fever. I'm so sleepy.
I heard you approved Soon Shin finally.
Hey, give me your husband's phone number.
He never answered the house phone.
You called him?
Yes. He's being very disgraceful!
How come he never contacts me ever since your father's death?
I should scold him.
Mom!
Give me a second.
Who is it?
Nobody.
Yes, Mrs. Han.
Long time no see. How are you?
Yeah. Why did you call me?
Can we meet up? I'm in your neighborhood.
Mrs. Han, can we go somewhere else to talk?
Somewhere quiet.
This is a quiet place.
- Where's Woo Joo? - She's still at school.
She is?
I was hoping to see her.
Give this to Woo Joo.
There weren't many things I wanted to buy in this neighborhood.
How have you been?
You want to know how I've been but you never contact me?
You've been in Korea for a while.
I'm sorry.
I approved the marriage only because you are smart.
That's the only thing I liked about you.
But you aren't as smart as I thought.
You told him that you want a divorce because of this little thing?
A man's eye might wander from time to time.
You should've comforted and forgiven him. How dare you get a divorce.
Didn't your parents stop you when you said you're getting a divorce?
It's useless to talk to you any more.
I wanted to see you because I'm going to take care of the child rearing expenses.
I can't stand you spending my son's money without doing anything.
From now on, send me Woo Joo's expense report every month.
With receipts.
Honestly, he doesn't even know where his money goes.
- Mrs. Han. - Why? Did I make you upset?
Then why did you get a divorce without permission?
If you had endured it, this wouldn't have happened.
I didn't like you from the beginning.
You're not even from a rich family or anything but you pretended to be elegant.
You aren't lovely nor fun to live with. No wonder he cheated on you.
- Excuse me, ma'am. - What is it?
We're closed. Can you get out of here?
What? You're closed? Do you even know what time it is?
It's break time.
- What did you say? - It's time for me to have a break now.
I'm sorry but get out please.
- Get out. I'm sorry. - Oh my God.
What kind of bakery is this?
I'm sorry. Good bye. Take this.
This neighborhood is pathetic and so are the people who live here.
You. Don't forget what I said.
Send me Woo Joo's expense report.
Okay.
Then I'll see you later.
I shouldn't have done this. Did I make things worse?
What's wrong with her?
I'm sorry but can you keep this a secret from my family?
What?
What do you mean?
Ah, I couldn't hear anything.
Lately I can't hear things very well.
Maybe I should I get a hearing aid or something?
I guess you talked about important things with her.
I really couldn't hear anything.
A secret? I don't know.
Thank you.
Is that all?
Do we have to make her debut in a month?
KOK is shooting their music video next month, right?
Yeah, but casting is done.
Shin Ji Ha will be in the music video.
I'll go talk to the director. To switch her to Soon Shin.
They're not going to be happy with that. The CEO of her agency has a bad temper.
I'll figure it out.
Hi. Hi.
This isn't good.
Secretary Jo, what's going on? People here look busy.
Hello.
It's all because of Soon Shin's debut.
Lee Soon Shin?
Is she making her debut?
Yeah, she'll be shooting KOK's music video.
Really?
How did she get that so fast?
I don't know.
Shin Ji Ha was supposed to do it.
But?
I don't know how Mr. Shin is going to handle this problem.
By the way, what brought you here?
We have to discuss with Mr. Shin about her CF's.
I see. You can go ahead.
Lee Soon Shin.
Aren't you getting lessons from Song Mi Ryung anymore?
No, I'm not.
Did she kick you out?
I just saw her outside.
Really? Where?
I think she came here for business. She just went out.
Teacher!
Teacher.
I'm sorry that I disappointed you.
Weren't we done talking about this?
I'm going to do my best.
And I'm going to make you proud that you taught me.
I'm really going to try my best and make you proud.
Really?
Okay. Then do it.
I'll see you later.
Mi Ryung, would you like some water?
KOK's music video?
Il Do...
Shin Ji Ha works under Mr. Han, doesn't she?
Yeah, I think so.
Arrange a meeting with him.
Song Mi Ryung's manager is someone I know. He's from my hometown. He came to find me.
He asked me if Chang Hoon raised her.
The cold sweat broke out all over me.
I'm home.
- Mom... - Go take a shower.
Mom, thank you.
For what?
I heard from Mr. Shin that you approved me to act.
I'm shooting a music video soon.
I'm going to do my best and make you and Teacher Song proud.
Are you still talking about Song Mi Ryung?
Mom...
You're so stupid.
Really? Choi Yeon Ah really gave this to you?
Yeah! You know how hard it is to get this.
She likes me so much that she gave me this as a gift.
- Really? - Yeah.
She was so pretty and kind. She wasn't being arrogant.
She seems so cold. I guess she's not.
She was attracted to my charm. You want to see a picture of me and her together?
Oh my gosh, you're just as pretty as she is!
And your head is smaller than hers.
I know, right?
Mom, I shouldn't have quit acting.
- I'm home. - Hey. Did you have dinner?
Yeah.
Joon Ho. Joon Ho.
What's the fuss about?
What relationship do you have with Yeon Ah?
- Yeon Ah? - I'm talking about Choi Yeon Ah.
How do you know her?
I met her when I had a fight with Soon Shin.
She came to Dad's hospital today.
Dad's hospital?
There was something between you and her, wasn't there?
Who said that?
It's okay, Joon Ho. I noticed it.
I could tell that right away when I saw the look on her face.
What was with her look?
I mean...
You noticed what?
You probably noticed that I'm about to hit you, right?
What?
You'd better get out while I'm being nice to you.
Mom, Joon Ho is about to hit me!
Would Mr. Han really do what you said?
He probably will. He has been in this field of work for years.
What if Mr. Shin finds out?
What can he possibly do even if he finds out about this?
Tell my maid to run a bath.
Okay.
Mr. Shin.
Things are going unexpectedly.
What is?
Shin Ji Ha said she will sue our agency.
She asked us to pay 10 times the cancellation fee.
What?
Is she crazy?
I know. There's nothing good for both of us to make things worse.
What's the matter with them?
[Choi Yeon Ah.]
What?
Are you busy, Joon Ho?
I want to see you.
Here is your food you ordered.
If there's anything you need, call me over.
Enjoy...
Hey, Joon Ho.
What's up?
What's the rush?
Order a drink first.
I should get back to work. I have a meeting.
Joon Ho.
What?
It's about the bet we're doing over that girl.
Can we stop the bet?
What?
I'll make a contract with your agency so let's stop the bet.
