What?
I will make sure we launch Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails. We were going to do it together.
Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails. $4 million.
I'm spending $4 million here. I can have a condition too right?
I will invest the entire fund under the condition of Jae Hee doing an act.
We're going with Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails again. Come back no matter what.
I saw the weird one with the cat. Was it "Catch"?
Let's make this clear.
It was you that started this.
That's why I'm drinking.
If it was you, I would have just said, "screw it." I can't even do that.
She is a bit on the slow side.
Slow side?
Just slow side?
If you're going to say that,
you should say slowest in the universe at least.
We don't have Bae Kang Hee. We need a star that big to make an issue.
Hey Joon Hyuk, yeah.
Really?
Hey we got money. 500k in cash!
Yeah! Get a theater first!
If you say that you're going to pay in cash for half of the rent, someone will buy it.
You know that rumors about this can't spread until the last minute right?
Ok. Have fun then. Bye!
I'm going to make her an actress. Bae Kang Hee started somewhere too.
It was due to the efforts that she...
Hey... you think...
it can work after seeing, "he is so great isn't he? err!"
If it's 500k in cash, I can even make a corpse into an actress.
I guess you could even do that.
The boat will come in this direction.
But while the boat is here, the left wing will be closed completely.
Who are the characters that must appear while the boat is in?
All the main characters and the chorus.
Then we have to move the line a bit this way.
-We can't move the boat right? -Yeah.
Hey just be honest with me at least. This is all a plan right?
-What plan? -You said you wanted to do Count Monti!
But then Ajoong and you. Why are they all refusing it all of the sudden?
-I can understand Go Eun Bi. -I don't know!
I just want to rest and get my skin done.
Just tell me.
Aren't you guys preparing for the next piece together?
No! No! Anyways, I'm leaving. You tell them.
I can pay back the contract fee in about a week. Bye!
Ho Young! You have money?
What about your credit card debt?
-Am I a bit late? -No. I was warming up.
It will be on TV, so I choreographed with emphasis on jazz.
That's good.
-You want to hear the music? -Yes.
I took the bag I used to use.
I guess the Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails CD was still in there.
I didn't ask.
I see.
You know the Gu Jak-members that decided not to do Monti?
I think there definitely is something.
Ra Kyung says she saw the chorus coming today to tell us that she wasn't going to do it.
She said something seemed strange.
1, 2, then step back, 3, 4, 5, 6
Again from 2.
Oh hi!
Hello. How are you?
I wanted to be doing well, so I called.
Can we talk?
Is it uncomfortable?
No.
-Do you usually practice here? -Yes.
Does it look good?
Yes.
It's good. Have some.
Ok.
This is the place where I feel the best about myself.
It's a place where I can be most honest.
In movies and dramas, you could say that no scene is impossible.
In America, they even use computer graphics for parks and bulidings.
Count Monti.
If I said that I didn't want to do it.
Yes, you're right. We would have gone with Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
Frank's condition was that I appear in it.
That's why I couldn't believe it.
Because I knew that you wanted to do Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails more than anyone.
No.
It wasn't because it was Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails. It was because Hong Jae Yi wrote it.
As long as it was written by Hong Jae Yi, and it was his musical, I wouldn't have cared.
But Count Monti was...
Up to what age can an actress do the act that she likes?
What?
The main actress in Count Monti must be beautiful enough for two men to fight for her with their lives.
Up to what age do you think an actress can take such a part?
-I've never... -Thought of it.
I was once like that too.
23.
It's when your face and your body are at their prime.
Who would think about such a thing?
So the stage equipments will change like this. Then the background screen will match it.
You know how the helicopter comes in in Mission Impossible? Just like that.
It's not impossible in terms of engineering.
But the cost will be quite a lot.
Cost is not a problem...
Actually, can we get the estimate first?
Yes. First look at the estimate, and use only a few for the climax.
It costs quite a lot more than you probably think.
And once you sign the contract, it will be difficult cancelling it.
Don't worry about cost! You know the leader of media culture in Korea is going to be musicals!
It's a legal report for Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
-Although there is room for argument.. -Room for argument?
They cannot put up the show without our consent.
So if you want to stop them...
No, thank you.
Should I do something? They started getting busy.
No. I will see Hong Jae Yi first.
When an actress reaches her mid 30's, she needs to get ready to step down from the main role.
Get out of Hong Jae Yi's shadow.
Start from the bottom.
Just because you got the main role thanks to someone,
doesn't mean you will have another act after.
I didn't think about the next act.
Come in as my stand-by for Count Monti.
-Stand-by? -My substitute.
You will be taking lessons for the entire song and character analysis along with me.
You know, Korean technology will soon slap Hollywood in the face.
Ok! I get it!
After hearing them, you know when we think about will this work? That's not even necessary.
Just thinking about that is an insult to the graphics designers of Korea. Everything works.
Mountain, space, stadium, sea, they all work! Everything you're thinking of!
Ok!
But did you figure out the cost right? Nowadays they charge CG by seconds for TV commercials.
It is pricey.
You only got 500k, and after making deposits, you won't have anything left.
Hey! Of the $4 million budget, 500k is really nothing.
Is there something to eat?
Go check the fridge.
Start from the bottom.
Even if it's just one piece, Count Monti will teach you a lot.
-Can I ask you the reason? -Is that important?
Are you proposing this for me? or...
are you just doing this because you don't like me being next to Hong Jae Yi?
Why is that important?
What's important is your decision.
If you just follow Hong Jae Yi, and he changes his mind...
What will you do then?
How long do you think Hong Jae Yi will be there for you?
All of the stand-by's that I picked in the past, they have their own act by now.
It's not a small opportunity.
Are you refusing?
I know that his heart can change.
And?
Your heart can change too.
You have proposed stand-by for now, but you may make me quit anytime.
Of course, if you're not good enough you will get cut.
That's what I'm saying.
So...
The important thing here is me, I think.
This is the opportunity to invest in yourself.
No.
I'll try something else for now.
Thank you for your concern.
Jae Yi...
Are you doing something with Jae Yi right now?
I wish you luck with Count Monti.
We're not the company that does weddings.
It's a wedding of the top star and a rich man, it needs to have big publicity.
So they hired us. Let's do a good job.
She really is pretty.
She puts tens of thousands of dollars every year. She has to be pretty.
Not everyone can be pretty just with money. Speaking of which, you use the exact same
with Ra Kyung.
You always put them on for 2 hours.
But the results are...
What the heck is that?
I have UV allergies.
My skin is like that of a baby.
Shut up.
Everyone is born with baby skin. Don't talk about your nursery room days.
Nothing else is on the schedule yet, right? Like locations.
For now you should take charge of this entire project.
President! Wedding is my specialty.
Shut up.
Prepare for this wedding and think of it as practice for your wedding.
In that case, I guess I could step down.
By the way, are you even getting married?
Oh by the way, we need to get started on the project.
You take these and find out the location for the meeting.
Thank you!
Goob job.
She is still full of energy doing both this and the musical.
Isn't she great?
Yes! Of course she is.
Even our actors say that she's great and she has a lot to be taken as a role model of.
Really.
So how did it go? Did you kick her out?
You can't do the entire show on your own.
So put someone that can level with me.
You know if we get another top star, there will be a problem with the budget too.
They are going to compare you two. The fan club of theirs will make rumors about you.
And what? What's the problem?
No. No problem at all.
-There's something called alternate in musicals. -Alternate?
When two people share the same role evenly, we call it "double casting."
But in this case we have a lead actress. But when she is tired, someone may help her.
Like she does it twice for every 8 performances.
We call these "alternate".
So you want her as my alternate?
Yes.
Producer! If Jessie wants it, please have it done.
I think I paid that much.
Of course. Of course, yes.
You're going to try your best, right Jessie?
Drink up.
You made the role of Do Hwa on your own?
How can you say you're going to quit everytime like that?
If Jessie quits, the investor quits.
How can I stay? It's all because of me.
Should I say it again? I started this musical because I wanted to see you singing my song.
For that I got the money, and for money Jessie had to come in.
This was all done because of you. If you quit, what would I....
There is no other reason?
What reason?
Your friend, Producer Gu Jak.
Co-Producer.
Sang Mi, Bok Ja, Joon Ik, Tae Hwan, Ho Young.
They are all looking forward to this.
Good for you for being so nice.
What?
They are all professionals. Because they are not good enough they are just begging...
That's the same for me.
Because I'm not good enough. Because I'm not famous enough.
If an idol wants to step over me, I have to let her.
I chose you! I picked you!
Why did you pick me?
What?
Low pitch is impossible, high pitch is shaky.
When you said that you've discovered talent that even I couldn't even find...
You think I came believing you?
You didn't believe me?
Then why have you...
Just because you like me...
You wanted to have fun with me.
Even as the genius song writer Hong Jae Yi's toy...
I wanted to hold onto the opportunity.
So hold onto it.
-Hold onto it! -That's why I can't!
A person like me, who has no talent or potentials.
But then I can't turn off the fire in my heart.
Eun Bi...
Because I know. Because I know well.
I'll get going. I won't be doing Do Hwa. Do it with Jessie.
Go Eun Bi.
When I was going to school,
When I saw kids who are studying their hardest but could not raise their grades,
I had this in my mind.
You just need to memorize it.
You just need to read and memorize it. Why is it so hard for them?
Ok. Ok. I get it. Stop.
But now I really regret it.
Even if you want something so badly, without talent,
you can't even get the opportunity.
You can remain as the chorus for the rest of your life.
You don't know that do you?
Eun Bi.
You have the ability to protect their dreams. So please do so.
Ok. I will make it possible. I will make it possible, so please.
Good bye.
I really don't want to see you. Just let me go.
If you feel bad, just get better.
This suits me. Yes, I dreamed of being a Cinderalla.
If you feel bad...
-Did they leave? -Yes.
If Jessie quits, the investor quits too right?
Who's quitting?
Why would Jessie quit?
This isn't about Jessie right here.
-Jae Yi doesn't know does he? -What?
That you got another 500k from President Huh.
He's already made the decision for $4 million. What difference does it make?
Those are money that we must pay them back.
You've already spent most of it! CG, staff, casting, and the theater contracts.
We can't get most of them back.
So we must make it work! Don't even think about that yet.
They seem to be happy.
You mean they look foolish?
You do have hard feelings towards me.
I'm right still.
It's unproductive. They are running away from reality.
It's all for self-satisfaction.
I didn't know I talk like that.
You really didn't know?
I guess I can't deny it.
It is true that I thought like that even a while ago.
A while ago.
Not anymore?
You have the ability to protect their dream. So please do so.
That's just too hard for me.
Can't I just do it for you?
It was a selfish decision.
No matter what the situation was, with the family and the fund...
I made the best decision for myself.
People always choose what's best for them.
They pretend to be unselfish,
all so that they can feel good about themselves.
Even that really is a selfish decision.
That's quite an accurate analysis.
I guess choosing what's best for me and asking for others' understanding is even more selfish.
But still it bothered me.
I wished that someone could understand me.
That you had no choice?
No.
That I wanted to put up Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails with my own hands.
I was sincere about that.
You're getting it ready again aren't you.
Umm... That's...
Do they even know that I can legally stop it?
You can?
Why not?
I guess you can. Yes, you can stop it.
Are you going to?
The desire for you to do well is greater than the desire to do it myself.
I want to see someone being on the stage for Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails a bit earlier.
Some selfish thoughts like that are stopping me from stopping you guys.
I always think about this. You always make something simple so hard to understand.
So basically you're saying that you don't want to stop us legally.
Yes.
Thank you.
Are you going to send me an invitation?
If I can.
If I can't, I will buy one myself and send it to you.
Is something going on?
No.
You were here to see Hong Jae Yi. You should get going.
I came to say that you don't need to worry about legal problems. Just work comfortably.
I won't need to see him now.
Not to me, but you should tell that to Jae Yi or the producer.
I already told you so it's fine.
It's not Gu Jak or Hong Jae Yi that I want to cheer.
Cheer up.
Hey!
Can't you do it even when you're that sincere about it?
Is your company and family really that serious about stopping something you want to do?
Mother.
The number you've dialed is no longer in service.
Father.
-Jin! -Why is Mother's phone out of service?
Oh you've called.
Let me talk to her.
She's not here.
What do you mean? Did she go somewhere?
Yes.
She went on a trip.
Why didn't she roam her phone?
She wanted to clean up things abroad.
Did something happen?
No, nothing. Are you ok?
Ok then.
Sun Hee!
Don't do that Sun Hee!
Sun Hee!
Sun Hee! Sun Hee!
They can't predict the progress of the disease from this point on.
She didn't seem to recognize Yu Jin Young.
She can't even recognize her husband?
No.
It's like he's a complete stranger. She was depending on the neighbor more.
What about Yu Jin?
I don't think they are contacting him at all.
You were so stubborn.
It's what our wedding hall is most proud of. The best bride's room.
It's pretty isn't it?
Yes it is.
Then will you do your wedding here as well?
You know me?
Of course, it's one of the most anticipated wedding in this field. You and Yu Jin.
If you do the engagement ceremony with us, we can give you a lot of benefits.
Thank you.
Yes. How are you?
If you come out right now, you can avoid the ticket. Or you can just leave the car key with me.
What?
I can buy you some time.
Ma'am there was a girl that I fell in love with on the first sight.
But she's the owner of this car. She asked me to take care of it, and she went in.
If I let you guys take the parking ticket, you know how disappointed she will be?
She is like an angel.
Tickets don't go well with angels.
I'm sorry.
I'll take it out.
Umm... Excuse me!
Did you see her? She really is like an angel right?
Cappuccino $23, steak $89?
How much does the ticket and towing cost?
Just eat freely.
Talbot? Talbot 2005...
Can I just get a cappuccino.
I'll get the same thing.
Why don't you eat?
I already ate.
But don't let your guard down. I will get coffee from you until I fill up the ticket.
You do that.
That's at least 10 coffees.
You laughed.
You don't have a girlfriend?
Girlfriend...
If I had one and did this to you, then I would just be a bastard.
Are you hungry?
No.
Why are you looking at the menu then?
I was just...
Am I making you uncomfortable?
It's not...
Yes, a little bit.
I just like you too much.
I ...
You think it was just a coincidence that I saved your car. Or was I stalking you?
Stalking?
It was a coincidence. A complete coincidence!
I was just walking by, then I saw your car. So I was like, "What did I do yesterday to deserve this?"
So I was just hanging around it waiting for you. Then the public service agents came with a weapon.
So I blocked all of it.
Weapon?
You laugh a lot. It's so pretty.
Joon Hyuk...
I have someone to marry...
The first cappuccino among the 10.
You must like heels a lot.
It's not that I liked them. Where I worked, it was required that we wear heels.
If you had the right shoes at least, they wouldn't have gotten that bad.
Does it hurt a lot?
I wore the shoes the company supplied.
I had to fit my feet into the shoes.
That's no good! You should fit the shoes to your feet!
You shouldn't wear something this high.
Why! You think you have a problem with your feet?
Did she say that it hurts a lot?
Of course.
She naturally has wider feet. But then she wore those 12 hours everyday for 10 years.
I don't know what to call it. Bravery or foolishness.
I guess she stood for it without a choice.
I know. She should have taken care of it at the first sign of pain.
She withstood it and deformed her feet.
Don't you think it requires a surgery?
I don't know.
Hey!
Is your family and company stopping you that much, even though you want it that sincerely?
Wearing shoes that you don't want to wear. I bet it hurt.
That's what I'm saying.
-Are you still not ready? -Coming!
Good luck.
Ok bye.
Stop.
Let's see.
First act, 15 degrees angle. I did it right.
Yes you did, but the steps were too wide.
I don't think you'd walk like that in this situation.
Isn't that too much? We're even doing the chorus.
Now he's starting with the length of the steps?
Once he gets through Bae Kang Hee's real personality, he will change.
Alright, let's try it again.
President Jung. Long time no see.
How's the performance?
Yes, I watched it more than 10 times.
You know how she is. Whenever it's hard for her, she goes to watch musicals.
Is she going through a hard time?
Umm... She doesn't let me start with Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails at all.
Ok, have a good rest.
So did peace come in your mind?
Thank you.
I texted just in case.
You really can get the ticket that's hard to get on pre-sale on the day of the show.
Now you see that investors are good for something at least.
I do.
Thank you very much.
You know those days.
The day you have to eat that food.
The day you must drink a cup of hot coffee.
So this musical was...
Yes. When I want to just collapse and give up,
This is the musical that I must watch.
I need to thank you too.
For what?
That you asked me to get such an important ticket for you.
This is Hong Jae Yi's piece so you could have gotten it from him.
My car is over there. You think you can run?
Or you want to wait until I go get it?
No, I can just take the bus here.
Right now, I think I really need that hot cup of coffee.
Can you repay me?
I will.
-Hold on. -Let's go!
Even if I ask you why you needed to watch that musical, you won't answer me.
Is it something actresses feel in common?
I'm not even an actress yet.
It's not because I'm an actress, it's because I couldn't be one.
When I look at Bae Kang Hee, it seems to be hard no matter how famous you've become.
Kang Hee does?
Why?
Everyone was nervous about it. Will Bae Kang Hee take the order? Or will she flip out?
When I saw her repeat the same thing more than 10 times without ever complaining,
I finally understood how she got here.
Of course, she proves it on the stage.
I don't think you can automatically become like that.
That's what I'm saying.
Huh?
So even if it's really hard for you, if you think that it's a footstep for that moment,
doesn't it feel much better?
I wish that I could even think about such a thing.
If there's a problem, you could always go around.
Go around?
I heard that Bae Kang Hee proposed the stand-by position for Count Monti.
Do Hwa of Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
I would love to see you on the stage with that role.
If there's a way to see you longer, in more pieces, then...
I think this will also be good too.
Jessie! Jessie!
Let's get started with singing first!
Singing takes a long time.
Did you fire her?
We're not firing her.
Let's get her a show once a week.
Jessie!
I think you've warmed up your body enough. Let's get singing.
Producer sweetie!
Sweetie? What sweetie?
Unless you get someone that I can accept other than her, I won't do it.
I thought you already knew that.
Jessie? So let's do it for an hour.
Let's practice at least an hour a week. Singing isn't that hard.
You failed in persuading Jessie?
Ra Kyung, you want to drink with me tonight?
What are you smiling about? Get your stuff, let's go.
It's not me stepping down for others.
It's for myself.
If I say that, I don't think Hong Jae Yi and others will have a say about it.
So you're saying that it's like a decision for yourself?
Yes.
Yes, it's for me. All for me.
It's a selfish decision.
Does it hurt a lot?
So why do we have to talk about this while doing something this painful?
I thought that everyone was working hard with the shoes that do not fit.
I won't see you for a while from now. So be healthy.
What are you talking about? You won't even show?
What plan do you have?
Speak what's in your heart!
The prince is giving me a hard time. So I want to kick his prince bastard's butt.
Or you cheat too!
What have you got to lose, to live like that? You're the only daughter of Suh Eun Corp.
Do I look like I'm having a hard time?
You know how I survived with this face, this body, and no extraordinary schooling outside of Korea,
in this cruel marketing field?
Because I caught a glimpse of what's going on.
With this, I knew it right away when President got a new boyfriend.
New boyfriend.
That's really funny.
The opposite would be an old boyfriend?
It's not important whether it's a new boyfriend, or an old boyfriend.
Just move on. Get to know someone else.
Half of the world are men.
You know how I got divorced?
I got him the ash tray, and he told me to get water.
I got him water, and he told me to take his socks off.
I got his socks off, and he told me to wash his feet.
So I got water to wash his feet, then I poured the water in his face. Then I signed the divorce papers.
Is that really how you got divorced?
Perseverance, purity, and patience.
Throw that crap in the trash.
The biggest mistake that women make is thinking that men will appreciate that.
What's going on?
I don't know, I just followed him.
What?
First come in.
It's really sick.
Other girls were saying that this place was gnarly sick. So I wanted to come.
I heard that even coffee here is good.
Yes, the coffee is good.
We have to get together all the way to the performance. So let's get close.
It looks good!
Jessie didn't want to practice because you didn't want to do it without Go Eun Bi.
What did you do with her?
What do you mean do what.
How could I dare to do anything to her?
I'm not that scary, you know.
It was her decision.
Don't you know that she always quits when she feels pressured?
She didn't just step down. She went her own path.
You think she has her own path right now?
Hey!
Eun Bi.
Please take me as your stand-by for Count Monti.
You don't want me to be happy? Is that why?
No. I can't ever have Hong Jae Yi happy because of someone other than me.
When I look at you, my heart gets really corny and cheesy.
I love you.
What if your love ends?
The musical, the stage, the person you love and the love all end at the same time.
I'm back. Pleasure to work with you again.
