My Shining Girl

Episode 1
Thank you!
I finally arrived in Japan!
What exactly went wrong between PD Noh and Kang Min?
I don't know either.
I know nothing. Zip.
Why those two hate each other so much.
Maybe it hurts their pride to talk first.
The whole incident is a puzzle.
It's about to go down as a broadcast station mystery.
I'm on PD Noh's side no matter what.
For sure, Kang Min must be at wrong.
That can't be it.
Why not? For sure Kang Min must have acted rude without manners.
PD Noh detests people who have no manners.
Even if it's a top-star.
Still, it's not like he's at the same level as Kang Min.
Going up against Kang Min is not really right.
PD Noh is no easy feat either. His professionalism is his pride.
These days, star PDs are no smaller than actors.
You don't know?
Noh Yong Woo is to cast Kang Min?
And Kang Min is to agree to Noh Yong Woo's request?
Cut! Okay!
Just walking here hurts his pride too?
Fine then. Just keep on standing there then.
Who does he see Kang Min as, when he's just a little PD?
Look at that.
He wants to look so carefree?
A call...
Ahjussi, shouldn't you watch me taking the call?
Hello?
Hello, Kang Min.
This is KBN PD, Noh Yong Woo.
It looks like even if a PD grandpa comes, intead of a PD, it'll be still hard to cast you, Kang Min.
I guess the station money pours in strongly.
Seeing how you came all the way to Japan but still make a call right in front of my nose.
I guess so.
Seeing how someone not so great says a few not so great words
and they pay him a few hundred thousand dollars.
For your retirement's sake, save up the money well.
Since I don't think anyone will put up with you anymore.
You should at least have lots of money.
Clear the place.
Yes, sir.
That pu...
Hyung...
Call the station chief of the station that punk works at.
Is there really a need to call the station chief? Let's just...
Of course. Of course I know.
Oh no. He said that to you?
Okay, okay...
Don't get mad.
Hey, you sent him the best wine, right?
Of course!
Kang Min should've received it nicely, thinking it was from PD Noh.
Die. Go die, you dense idiot.
That rascal Noh Yong Woo put on a poopy face just going there empty-handed.
He found out he was even given a bribery of wine, so of course he'd say those sour words.
Then PD Noh can't find out?
You need the hand and the foot to match to steal too. Why do I even bother with you?
Why I'll just...
Just drink up.
You've gone all the way to the headquarters in Japan, so if you get your plan stolen again...
you know why the female staff would resign, right?
Yeah, I'm sure that'll happen.
You'll cry without me, you know.
No way!
Rep. Jun, you are the dream of us female employees.
Don't worry.
Nothing of that sort will ever happen.
Writer of cultural current events.
It must be so nice for you. You do the work you want and you get famous too.
Winner of KBN idea contest: Han Seo Yoon, Lee Na Kyeong, Kim Hyeon Woo, Jun Ji Hyun, Kim Jung Min.
Of course I'd win. Just who am I?
Broadcasting writer...
I did dream of that once upon in my life too.
Broadcasting writer...
Sunbae!
Presentation for today... good luck!
Of course.
You got the documents all set, right?
Of course.
Mr. Kim, you have to really do well this time.
Yes, I understand.
Alright.
Were you out of ink?!
What? Were you saying that to me just now?
Why is my name not on the plan I created?
Why is a name so important on a document?
As long as assistant Kim does the presentation well. Director!
Rep. Jun, what the heck are you doing right now? How dare you, to the director...
Does it look like I can just sit quietly right now?
My item got stolen just now!
What?!?
Are you saying I'm a thief or what?
Sunbae, come talk to me outside for a bit.
Hey, let go. You better let go.
This is my plan I made after toiling for over 2 months!
But why?
Why did you again...
Why that!
Would you just let go of me!
Seriously! Is this just once or twice, huh?
That... that!
Why that thing still wet on the head!
Please endure it, Director.
Hey, look at this! Look!!!
I've lived two months without even being aware that I grew freckles! This is a product I made as I tore my hair!
This is mine!
Is this just the first or second time? Ack, my throat.
I can't even go to work anymore, because I'm too embarrassed to face the employees. I get it stolen and stolen and stolen!
Sunbae.
Listen to me carefully.
It's because it's me, that I'm telling you this. It's not like you'll just ditch your job, right?
How can you just ditch it? At your age?
Now look at me.
If you say, "Hey, Director" then you'll get, "What?"
Right?
But...
If you say, "Come on, Director."
Then you get, "Oh, what... " okay?
Ayy... what are you doing?
If you make things hard on each other,
do you think you'd win? It just makes things stiff.
What I'm saying is, tone down your temper.
Sometimes you just get so riled up, you don't even think about the consequences.
Hey, that...!!
So just endure it for now.
Later,
you go and nitpick with the director gently.
For today, just go rest up at the hotel and give it time.
- Tomorrow... - Hey!
Are you telling me not to attend the meeting?
There you go again.
Fine!!
How am I to live now, with all this shame?!
Ahhhh!!! Really!
Subtitles brought to you by The Glowing Insane Team .
Yeah, fine, I'd be crazy.
Let's have a drink each.
Sunbae!
My apologies.
I'm a bit late.
I was wondering who this was.
Rep. Jun, when you get dolled up,
you are quite a looker too.
Thank you.
I was going to just see you to your end yesterday.
But I endured it for the sake of the eyes at the headquarters.
Understand?
I'm sorry.
What are you doing? Pour a drink for Director.
Pardon?
You knew I was on assignment in Japan, but you didn't call?
Are you belittling me because I'm a sunbae who's not so mighty?
Why are you being like this again?
I did think of you when I got on the plane, I said.
Regardless, today, it's my treat!
Just do the work roughly and get married.
Why work so hard to death?
For a woman, I mean.
What use is being smart when you get old?
You just have that big temper.
Welcome.
Oh, it's Kang Min.
Are you here to catch Kang Min?
I'm not catching him.
I, uh...
need to go to the restroom.
You should drink.
Where do you dare...
Hah...
Look here.
Oi!
Hey!
Oi!
Oh. What are you doing?
"What are you doing"?
When you bump into someone, you should apologize.
You're not gonna apologize?
I thought you were a PD, but you're a total stalker?
You're not all the way here to cast me, are you?
Let go of the arm.
I don't know what this is but you get lost.
What do you want?
Wine.
My wine was shattered because of you.
Compensate.
Do you have the right to drink that wine?
I told you not to butt in!
You don't get delusioned yourself! I've got no business with you.
Kang Min.
Return that wine.
What?
Are you guys using me in your psychological battle?
Wine.
Get it from this woman.
And don't you ever lay your hand on me easily again.
Leave me the account number and go.
Who are you telling to go or whatnot?
Watch your words.
Two years ago or not, it's the same, so you make the inquiry yourself to find out.
Yes.
Ah, I'll remember that.
Here, deputy director, a drink.
Yes.
Drink to each.
What the!
You! What the hell!
Not "you"! It's "Jeon Ji Hyun"!!
Hey!! Aish...
Not "Hey"!! It's "Jeon. Ji. Hyun!!!"
Is she crazy? That thing!
What the hell is that?! Hey!
Whoah...!! Really!!
Who do you see me as, huh?
Who am I?! I'm Jeon Ji Hyun! Bastards...
Pissing me off.
What time for the flight to Korea?
It's done.
Then, work hard.
How are you proud, Sunbae?
Do you have good connections or good guts?
Good skills.
Are you eating dinner as you work?
Not yet.
Hello, Director!
Long time, Reporter Park.
The revised script for episode 7 is out.
I got one for you.
Thank you.
So...
good work.
See you later!
Sunbae.
The shooting director, I mean... to you...
Yeah, Ji Hyun?
What?!?!
You're in Incheon Airport?
Sunbae, your stamina is really impressive.
How can you come straight to the nightclub after taking a night flight?
Hey, this much is nothing.
Those things that belittle me? All dead!
So you're going to ditch the company job to become a writer?
Hey, not "just a writer"!
It's "cultural current events' writer"!!
Yeah! Who can stop you!
Then, what exactly are you going to do?
Don't know!
I guess go to the broadcast station first?
Nice. What are you doing?
Ah... it's so warm.
My treat today!
He's all old now.
Funny.
So?
You met Noh Yong Woo?
You're really spoiling this.
I can never understand how you talk.
What's wrong with the way I talk?
So,
you met a Korea-made muttdog?
I'm not fond of how you laugh either!
How is it that nothing surprises you?
Since you met for the first time in so long, you should've had a drink with him.
Such a hapless...
So embarrassing.
So embarrassing!
You slept with him?
Hey, you! Hey, why, I'll just...
What? You could've if you were drunk.
The issue is after you wake up.
You'll probably just lay under the covers all day, pretending to be asleep, right?
Huh?
Same for Noh Yong Woo.
And between the two, someone farts first,
and you start laughing, then you go at it again?
That's how it's suppose to be but you guys can't even do that so you tense up your butt holes.
Hey! Why... seriously, are you crazy?
So you quit and made a commotion at the bar in Japan.
And you'll really chase your dream now, I guess.
Yup!
No one can stop me now.
Yeon Hee, look at me straight.
I'm going to cause a proper wreck this time!
For the first time in my life, the thing I want to do,
I am doing it!
So then?
You insist on becoming a cultural current events writer?
Do you have a plan then?
Next, candidate #17. Introduce yourself.
Upon just graduating, I realized I am suited for a broadcast station.
My academic records were high as well.
Bratgirl.
Unnie here knows how to see a person.
You think you'll be able to marry well if you work at a broadcast station, huh?
And you want to be a writer?
Not a chance.
Allow me to tell you about my thoughts.
If performances are shown on TV...
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun?
Yes?
Your resume is impressive, Ms. Jeon Ji Hyun.
However, did you apply with knowledge of what the work of a broadcast writer consists of?
Pardon?
And your age is pretty high.
In a broadcast station that highly regards trends,
I believe age is merely a number.
What are the recent trends in broadcasting?
Though there are some differences depending on the hour,
but idol's K-pop is indeed a major, right?
Do you know idols well?
Of course.
Then, will you show us?
Subtitles brought to you by The Glowing Insane Team <br. .
If you couldn't even begin because you were scared,
don't grumble,
you!
So
sparkling my eyes are blinding.
Don't you tease me saying I'm little.
Okay?
Why this girl... are you crazy?
Why would you quit a company that pays you well?
So then? How much will they pay you at the broadcast station for being a writer?
Nine thousand.
Nine thousand?
Nine thousand a month?
No...
Yearly.
Nine thousand dollars a year?
$800 dollars a month?
$800?
Oh, mom!
Are you out of your mind?
What? $800?
Lesser pay is lesser tax to pay.
Earn less so you can pay less tax?
$800?
Aigo.
My mighty daughter... $800 a month?
Aigo, you earn so much my belly will burst!
Are you young in age?
Why are you talking about age now?
Just buying the stuff to paste on your face,
and a few stockings and what's left?
Is this bratgirl out of her mind or what?
Jeez, mom!
I should be saying, jeez mom!
Oppa's chicken shop is running now.
Yup, he's earning now. So let Ji Hyun do what she wants.
How can I spend the money your oppa earns with toil?
What? You can't bear to spend the money Oppa earns, but mine, you just keep on spending?
Isn't that too much?
It's noisy.
Go work at the company first thing tomorrow.
Go and plead, saying you did wrong. And work.
Got it?
I can't! I won't!
I earned money and helped the family all this time.
Money to pay for your havoc.
And the money dried up for Oppa's ventures. Even your double eyelid surgery, Mom, I paid for them!
I was wondering when you'd bring that up. Show off.
I'm not going to earn money. I don't need it!
I am going to be a writer no matter what. No matter what!
Even if I die from starvation, a writer, no matter what!
What are you doing?
I've always wanted to do that. I'll buy you one. It's okay, right?
It's alright.
No need to buy me one.
You're not coming?
My mouth, I was kind of worried...
But we have to eat ice-cream together.
I'm not too fond of eating together with someone.
What's wrong?
You're leaving?
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey!
Hey! What are you doing?
Why did you do that? What are you doing?
Hey!
Seriously!
A guy who brushes his teeth after we kiss once... I don't know what he'd do after we have sex so I left.
So the situation wasn't a case where you left pretty. So then?
No need to know that too.
Hey, you always don't tell me the good part.
Cold!
Noona.
Your treat, right?
Why do you always ask Ggot Nim to buy you something.
You're director, a manager, but you always eat off of others.
Don't go around telling people you're my younger brother, because it's embarrassing.
Geez, Noona.
Do you have to say that in front of Ggot Nim noona?
What's wrong with you? I want to buy it for him.
Your noona's just acting up for no reason.
You shouldn't eat so much at night either.
Look at this. At our age, this part is the hardest to lose.
Learn something from how Ji Hyun manages her figure.
Why are you bringing up Ji Hyun all of a sudden?
I think Ji Hyun is trying to get a job at the broadcast station. You didn't know that, right?
She really quit the company?
Where? Which broadcast station?
Did they call her already?
Seriously!
It's strange. Why no contact?
What went wrong?
Jeez! What am I going to do?
Hey!
Hurry and eat and go to the company. Now!
It hurts!
Go where? Where can I go?
I don't want to see the sight of you!
See how you look different now that you're a bum.
A face is not a face. A face is the job.
The way I see it, it's gone.
A woman past the age of 30.
Do you think you can restart your career?
Stop dreaming! What do you have to show, huh?
Seriously!
I should live on my own.
With what money?
She always acts so proud!
Aigo, I'm just so upset!
Hello.
We meet a youngster on the mountain for the first time in a long time.
But you can tell she's a bum with nowhere to go.
It's so hard with so many people jobless.
But a young maiden... quite diligent.
A maiden is too scared to come to the mountain at this hour.
Really?
Let's see.
You're a mom, right?
Won't you eat some seaweed rolls?
Do hard.
Um.
Excuse me.
You seem older than me.
I think not!
You don't have a job, right?
By chance, won't you give this a try?
What?
This is pretty good actually.
Some $200 a week.
So about $800 a month or so.
Not bad, right?
You don't need anything special.
As long as you take the jokes from the ahjussis well, the money comes in nice.
Won't you do it with me?
The ahjussis when they're hiking...
Crazy.
Yes, hello?
This is KBN station.
Yes, yes, yes!
Yes, thank you. Yes, yes!
Yes, thank you!
Thank you! Yes, thank you!
Yes, thank you.
Listen.
It seems you thought I was nothing.
But I tell you, I am a writer, okay? A writer!
Don't belittle me!
I mean it!
Outrageous!
Subtitles brought to you by The Glowing Insane Team .
It's Kang Min!
Jeez!
Hey.
Noona, are you alright?
What the... what is it?
Hyung!
Okay, be right there.
I'm going.
Ji Hyun, sorry, but I got to go.
Go.
Hello.
Cultural department.
Go check at the variety department.
What?
Variety?
Variety would be...
But why would I go to the variety department?
Go and ask the variety department person-in-charge.
Oh, okay.
Is this how you're going to be?
What? The security?
Want to make the place trash?
I wasn't cussing at you, Manager Jang.
Wait.
So what am I suppose to do about the ratings, huh?
Am I supposed to be first place everyday?
If they're frustrated then they earn the ratings!
Excuse me.
Yes?
I'm writer Jeon Ji Hyun.
Yes.
I don't know where my seat is.
Then, writer of which program?
I don't know which program yet. I passed through the composition writer gathering.
Go to that room.
Thank you.
She's crazy.
Why would a woman like her come here?
Are you sure?
Ms. Yoon's friend told me so it's 100% correct.
She was working at the large corporation fine, but she wants to work as a team writer?
She's completely insane.
Either crazy or dumb.
Age 31 is a complete old geezer.
What am I supposed to do?
Regardless, see if she tries to act mighty.
See if I will just let it go.
Hello.
I'm writer Jeon Ji Hyun who's newly entered.
Oh.
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun.
Um.
I think there's been an error.
I clearly told them I was interested in current cultural affairs.
Why did I come to variety show department?
Intern wrtiers don't usually go where they want from the start.
I see.
Then, my seat is... where?
Sit anywhere that's vacant.
Aigo.
The suffering's about to start.
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun.
Come in more comfortable clothes starting tomorrow.
Yes.
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun,
before the PD in charge comes, get coffee and...
go make copies.
I'm sorry, but I'm a writer.
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun...
There's no one here who isn't a writer.
Oh. Okay.
Coffee and copies. Where can I do that?
Why seriously, I... coffee? Copies?
I seriously... fine, I'll do it for you.
I've died quite a bit. The one and only Jeon Ji Hyun?
Jeez, who's going to recognize me?
Sunbae!
Oh, Hyori!
You work here?
Yeah, it just happened so.
Since when?
Since today.
Yeah, in life, a day like this can come too.
You know what's the best part?
Copies!
You're working on that program?
Yup.
Why?
And the PD in charge?
Did you meet?
No, not yet.
Why? Someone you know?
By chance, a psycho?
Hi three, cut!
Two, cut!
High, fade out.
Good work.
The new youngest on your team.
Her figure from the back is a killer.
You lucky punk!
I'm doing this right now.
I have the copies done.
Here, I found all the tapes.
These Subtitles were brought to you By the Glowing Insane Team .
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun, are you alright?
What?
Oh, yes.
I guess you're the new writer.
If you're going to make new coffee, go out and if not, then sit down.
Don't just stand there and be a bother.
Congratulations.
What?!
So friggin annoying! Don't say stuff you don't mean.
Why are you getting mad and stuff? You're doing work you wanted to do, so I said congrats.
Hey, just pop already. Don't cling to your ex-husband it's such a nuisance!
Was there a problem?
Yeah, a problem!
I made coffee for your ex-husband slash the ex-boyfriend who dumped me. Satisfied?
This Jeon Ji Hyun did! This mighty Jeon Ji Hyun! So, happy?
Omo, you have a white hair.
What? Where? Pluck it out.
Did Noh Yong Woo see this? I'm old, huh?
Why do you mind? How does it concern him?
Hey, aren't you going to change your concept some?
If you keep this up, saying stuff you don't mean, you'll die from a grudging heart.
Are you piled up in stress? Huh? Stress!
Aigo!
Ggot Nim. You... the entire time you were married, you never contacted me.
Do you know when you contacted me?
Right after your divorce. You probably called me before you even called your parents!
Because you are my friend.
Friend?
Jeez. Fine.
Let's say that was the case. Right now, I am a mess.
This mighty Jeon Ji Hyun is about to earn her salary making coffee for Noh Yong Woo.
So don't you rile me up too. Okay?
So?
Lee Yoojin that brat claims she got Hepatitis B from Kang Min after they slept together?
Yes, she's completely crazy.
So she's making Kang Min into a filthy punk with a sexual disease.
Not a sexual disease. It's a contagious disease.
Yeah, contagious disease!
So that crazy wench is saying she's going to be blabbering to the world like crazy now?
If not, she wants 5 million dollars.
Hey, she's a pro. Totally my style.
I should be signing contracts with girls like her.
Get Kang Min here.
So did my popularity go up so much again?
You! That girl... do you or do you not know her?
Why talking bad about the pretty unnie?
She's not bad.
She's not bad, right? That pretty unnie had an awry sexual liason.
And she's contracted Hepatitis B, you see.
Really? Too bad for that pretty unnie.
I guess she met a really filthy guy?
That filthy guy is...
you, she says.
What?
She got it from you, she says.
Huh?
She says she slept with you and afterwards her liver's gone bad.
What are you talking about? I slept with her?
Manager So, get liquor here.
These Subtitles were brought to you By the Glowing Insane Team .
Do you remember?
Wait a second.
Seeing how you're talking that way, I guess it's done.
Hey, pour.
Why are you feeding him liquor?
He learned liquor so well, he can only remember while he's drunk.
Ack! I slept with her!
But I don't have Hepatitis. I'm fine!
Whether you are fine or not, how do you know that?
It's my body, why wouldn't I know?
Is it really true?
Are you confident?
Of course!
Fine, if you're not
I'll insist that you and that girl never slept.
I'll do whatever it takes to make her a crazy wench.
You really have no problem, right?
Push down.
This is the first time I draw blood from a patient personally in my 30 year career.
Think of it as an honor.
I don't usually... Be quiet!
Uncle, you know this is a secret from the outside no matter what, right?
Got it.
Where's the next schedule?
Standby.
High...
Cut, NG.
Let's try again.
Cut.
Hurry and clear it. The meeting's about to start.
Starting tomorrow, dress comfortably. We're so busy.
Shouldn't you apologize first?
I'm sorry but can't you work faster?
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
PD Noh... I guess he's not here.
Seriously! Seriously!
What the heck's this!
I have to make copies of documents for the meeting, so hurry and prepare seven cups of coffee.
Excuse me!
What?
Shouldn't you think about this more?
Coffee or copies... the ones who need them should just see to make them themselves.
We should respect each person's expertise.
If this doesn't suit you then leave.
Instead of being an eyesore.
Hey, you know... my age...
I'm going to go crazy. Seriously.
Why that thing!
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun!
Omo. What's with her?
If he doesn't use a condom, he can't come...
What's with her?
Hey, you dated Yong Woo outright for 5 years.
How much did you insist on contraception, that while he lived with me, he was always like that?
Jeez, sorry. I'm so sorry.
I should've just made a kid once a year, huh?
Ggot Nim, that can happen if they masterbate too much too.
Hey, when does that rascal have the time to do that? Right after he broke up with me, he married her.
Don't say that rascal, that rascal.
Hey!
You and I made up but we settled on the line. That it was nothing, we were just playing.
Wasn't that right?
Do you think it's such a joy for me to see you?
Hey, ex-wife who got divorced, and the lover who got dumped.
Be cool.
After I divorced, when I went to see you,
do you know what was the first thing you said?
Why didn't you live well?
In that speech talking down at me. Haplessly.
Hey, Ggot Nim!
No. Leave her be.
For her and for me, this is actually better.
You were delighted, huh?
Hey, you guys lived together as married couple for over 2 years. What delighted? It was a long time.
That is enough time for sesame oil to go bland.
The almighty Jeon Ji Hyun lies too?
Listen to the end, you brat.
Fine, I did feel lighter.
The wound was all healed but the scab was still there, so it felt like the scabs finally dropped and that's it.
Mean brat.
Then that makes me the only dummy.
I...
Who's the one who did the wrong, why blame me?
They don't even know how to feel sorry.
Regardless, Noh Yong Woo, you're not getting what you want this time. Not a chance!
Let's talk.
Should I get coffee for you, PD Noh?
The work here doesn't suit you. Quit.
What doesn't suit me the most... is you!
Speaking informally to me at your position is like almost insane.
You are indeed something else, Jeon Ji Hyun.
You just found that out? Jeez, you feel bad, huh? You should've treated me better sooner then.
What do you base yourself on?
You can deal with jerks but you can't endure people who can't do their jobs, right?
So you're saying you will do your work well?
Just don't expect any manners.
I don't need it.
Of course! You are a mannerless jerk yourself too.
How refreshing.
But still... I am not sleeping with you.
What?
I am not sleeping with you either.
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun. Quit the work here.
Says who?
Whether I use you or not, it's within my jurisdiction.
Miss Jeon Ji Hyun, I am not doing the program with you.
Hey! Noh Yong Woo!
