Let's do Count Monti as my stand-by.
Unless you get me someone that I can accept working with, I'm not doing it.
I'm not doing it anymore. Do it with Jessie.
You failed to convince Jessie?
Do Hwa in Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
Although I would love to see you on the stage with that role,
if you look in the long term...
I think the other way is also good.
What did you do to Go Eun Bi?
It was her decision. She is going her way.
Episode 10
Please accept me as your stand-by for Count Monti.
What did you just say?
I will start from the bottom as your stand-by.
Did you wait too long?
No.
It's an important decision. For you and me.
Yes.
I didn't think it was a decision that I should make in my sweats.
Thank you for your concern.
I thought that while I was taking shower,
that you could have left.
No.
I've thought it through, and made my decision.
Can I ask why you changed your mind?
Yes.
I...
I'm not used to people rejecting me.
When you rejected my offer last time, I...
I'm sorry, ma'am.
You have a guest here?
Who is it?
So... everything is going as you wanted it to be.
I don't think so.
Jae Yi just ran out to get her.
No! No!
He was all hot headed. His eyes got huge.
And he went after her.
To convince her to come back.
It's not like she will be convinced.
Go Eun Bi was determined to go to Bae Kang Hee.
Stop! This is ridiculous!
-Ridiculous? -Yes!
Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails will have no problem if Jessie is the only lead actress.
And Bae Kang Hee is going to accept me as her stand-by for Count Monti.
I'll just start from the bottom.
Do you not know why she's taking you?
-What's that have to do with... -That's funny.
I don't even know the reason.
But you know it?
It doesn't even matter.
No matter what the reason is,
she is giving me an opportunity. I'll gratefully take it.
What about the opportunity that I'm giving you?
Why can't you take the opportunity to be the lead actress for Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails?
That's...
Come out to the studio starting 2 days from now.
It starts at 10.
I don't even know the reason.
Why don't we let each other figure out the reason on her own?
Please stop making a scene here.
I'm sorry. I will see you in 2 days.
Why are you doing this?
I thought you knew.
I know why you're trying to hold on to Eun Bi.
You don't want her to sing my songs.
But even if you take her away, you and I are not going to change.
You want to let Eun Bi sing your song.
Hong Jae Yi, who just watches her grow... That seems happy.
You don't want me to be happy?
-Is that why you... -No.
I can't accept Hong Jae Yi ever being happy because of someone other than me.
-Kang Hee... -My greed to keep Go Eun Bi next to me,
is not different from your greed to keep her as an actress only for yourself.
It's up to Go Eun Bi.
Don't make that face.
Right now, I'm trying to protect your feelings for me as hard as I can.
For what?
If you need me, you take me. When you don't, you just dump me.
And then you're trying to tell me that you love me?
Just because you love someone doesn't mean,
you don't have to eat or sleep.
What?
As an actress,
holding onto the opportunity to become the greatest actress on the stage,
is just like eating and sleeping for me.
So...
When the opportunity came,
just because I let go of your hand when the chance came,
that does not mean I don't love you.
How selfish can you get?
No.
How honest can someone get to say what I just said?
Most people are just not honest like I am.
Hong Jae Yi's desire for Go Eun Bi, is noble and pure then?
Although a desire for someone cannot be pure,
at least you should be able to see the pain your loved ones have.
Only then you can call such desire "love."
Love...
Jessie, you know...
How should we set the practice time?
Get rid of her completely.
When Bae Kang Hee is back, we will talk.
I don't think I can do it.
I don't think Bae Kang Hee...
Hey.
Jessie!
This is driving me nuts.
The reason I was waiting for you is...
It's nothing.
Don't cry.
It's nothing. Don't cry. Don't cry.
I'm not alone.
Don't cry.
Get a sample of a contract for understudy or stand-by in favor of the actress.
You mean in favor of the drama company?
-No. -Huh?
Contract that's in favor for the actress.
Yes, I understand.
Try to find cases where great actresses came from starting as a stand-by first.
Yes sir. Is there something else?
No.
Was it there that we sang together for the first time?
I came the far way around.
Because I wanted to do musicals.
You're good at reading music.
1 year since I left the school. 365 days.
8760 hours passed just way too quickly.
How many cups of my coffee has Go Eun Bi drunk?
And...
Will she be drinking my coffee in future?
When did we first meet? When will we part our ways?
Go Eun Bi as an actress.
Just Go Eun Bi.
I don't know since when or why it's become like this.
But...
When I see you,
I get childish and uptight.
My heart. My mind, become childish like that.
Won't you believe me still?
I love you!
I've never thought that I could say this in my life ever.
So let's go to the end together.
Musical... Onstage holding your hand...
What if your love ends?
Eun Bi!
Musicals, drama, love, and the person I love,
will all end at the same time.
Why do you think about the end like that?
My mother...
she loved singing. She loved dancing.
But when they didn't let her do it,
she left me.
But I still don't think that she didn't love me.
But I think people can abandon people that they love.
Just like Kang Hee abandoned you,
and chose to do Count Monti.
So.
I don't want to tie love and musicals together.
Don't think that everyone is the same.
You and I are different.
We may not be different.
Why can't you trust me?
It's not that I don't trust you.
You're a person.
A person can always change.
I don't want to put musicals dependant on that.
Because it's everything to you?
Yes.
If musical is everything to you, then what am I to you then?
It was you who led me to the musical that's everything to me.
You held my hands so that I can enter the world that I could only watch.
When I fell, you helped me stand up.
When the path was closed, you opened it up.
You're that kind of person to me.
What if musicals don't exist between us?
I don't want to think about that.
I won't.
What if I'm not the granddaughter of my grandmother?
Or if I am her granddaughter.
There's no need to think about that.
Someone who opened up the path to musicals.
Please put Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails on the stage no matter what.
Your music that no one else can imitate,
The song that gave me courage and hope,
Let everyone in the world hear it.
As long as you're doing musicals,
I'm just...
a beloved teacher, Hong Jae Yi.
Is that it?
Ok.
Let's do it.
I can't even go back.
You are up early!
You're joining practice starting today?
We're starting again today as well.
I'm worried about that Jessie girl.
Bok Ja...
Huh?
I'll tell you when I'm ready to hear anything about Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
It's not like we won't see each other again.
If it's that hard for you...
Please!
Ok! I get it.
I'm leaving.
Bye.
I'm back.
Pleasure to work with you.
Good morning! Great to work with you.
Ready, 1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8.
Two Step.
Sliding. Fold it.
1, 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, 7, 8.
Bling. Bling. 2. 3. 4.
5, 6, 7, 8.
Teacher!
Ok.
Let's get started again.
Sit here!
Welcome!
He just came by.
That leech was here to suck blood.
He said that he must get all the money he loaned to you, today.
What if I say no?
Smell of perfume.
You always carry the smell of cigar, wine,
and the smell of someone's perfume.
Because I never had your smell.
Time has passed even on you.
This is Go Eun Bi's contract?
Yes. It's a case where a third party is involved but there was no succession of agreement.
Did you review this yourself?
That's right. Is there a problem?
No.
It's just that the conditions are quite differnt.
Because Go Eun Bi is a symbolic person.
I'm a sexy fox. Lead actress.
Love is my life.
Love is my destiny.
I'm a sexy fox. Lead actress.
You know this fox can transform into a beauty.
I'm a sexy fox. Lead Actress!
Okay!
Was that pretty good?
Yeah.
It was all good.
At the last part when you shout lead actress,
Try to put more accent into "actress."
Let people hear them.
-Lead actress! Actress! -Hey.
This is the most impressive scene since the Korean revolution.
-What is? -Hong Jae Yi getting into musicals again.
I thought Jessie was joining us today.
I just talked to her over the phone.
I think the assistant director talked to her this morning. She will come.
Why is she so late?
Hey...
What?
Jessie! On her way to Japan.
Her fan meetings will start next week.
Long term tour.
What? She's going to Japan?
Long term tour concerts in Japan.
She will be performing in Japan.
She agreed to go with us.
Jae Yi.
Jae Yi, wait for me.
What's going on again?
If the manager's phone is off too, there is no way for us to contact her.
So there was no talk about Japan beforehand?
No. We found out from the news as well.
So about her coming back here...
She will come. Even if she ends after midnight, she always comes here to practice for 30 minutes at least.
See you tomorrow then.
Thank you!
Bye!
I got cold water and lukewarm water.
I didn't know which one you would like.
I thought you were the last person who would kiss-butt like this.
Yeah, people tell me that quite often.
They say I'm too slow.
So this isn't kissing butt or a suck-up? But your sincerity?
I just want to be good to you. I want to do well.
I like lukewarm better.
Yes.
I'm done.
So am I.
Are you going to practice more, Go Eun Bi?
Yes, I'm a bit behind.
Good job.
Work hard then.
Ok. I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
What the hell did we do?
I think you need to come here right now.
You can't say that you don't know...
Fine.
I will go home on my own today.
See you tomorrow!
Will you be ok?
You can talk to me first.
They are not bad people.
No. Unless you're going to become a bad person,
I have no intention of being one either.
I miss it dearly.
That beautiful day!
That day!
I miss it dearly!
That beautiful day!
Yu Jin!
I also have something that's better than water.
Huh?
It looks good.
Jessie.
You've got a smoke?
Huh?
Don't make me ask you again. Do you have a smoke?
If you give me water when I'm thirsty, food when I'm hungry,
It makes me your life savior.
Yes.
Do you want to pay me back a bit then?
How?
You can sing.
No.
I asked you to pay me back with a song. Why are you making me sing?
Sing it!
This very moment.
Right now!
This moment that I waited and wanted,
My dream. My wish.
I don't know if it will come true.
Right now.
This very moment.
Right here.
Something I can't say in words.
All the days I worked for... The hard days.
They are all disappearing. Like smoke.
This very moment. It's like magic.
I'm throwing away the binds that were holding me down.
Right now, I... am sure.
The only thing left is victory.
Yes, Secretary Han.
Sorry to call you this late.
I can't get hold of Yu Jin.
Yes.
At the company?
Yes, I understand.
I can't sing.
You have 4 songs that were on the chart. You're a singer.
In the studio, they take care of the falling pitch with machines.
Who can't sing with that?
But...
Did your personality change?
Why?
Is it strange that I don't kiss ass with a squeaky voice like I did before?
I'm old enough to talk with in informal language.
You're only 21.
You think I'm really 21?
It's going to be really hard for you to live.
You know, I can't fool anything on the stage.
If singing is a problem, we can help you.
Of course it won't be easy.
How much time do you think I have to go the hard way like that?
This popularity that I have is only temporary.
Fans will quickly turn their backs as soon as they have another girl group out. Why bother?
Why did you tell us to cut Go Eun Bi then? You gave this condition and that.
I didn't think you would accept it.
Even though you were so desperate for the production budget,
I didn't think you will cut someone who is so determined and passionate for it.
Hey!
Does it make you happy to deceive people?
They are asking for it.
Nice physique. Pretty after surgeries done on the face.
But be on the dumb side a little.
Don't boast.
It's been like that since Marilyn.
Did you know that?
Marilyn Monroe's IQ was higher than 150.
But...
She only pretended to have big breasts and no brain.
As the public asked for it.
Hey!
Musical.
You could have just refused to do it.
Your friend, President Huh, my sponsor, was asking me with baby eyes.
I want Jessie to do a musical too.
I don't mind getting criticized doing a double with Bae Kang Hee.
Of course, I can't sing as well as the musical queen.
But Go Eun Bi is a rookie.
If I go against her, and show that I'm worse.
That's just terrible.
Look at him.
Hey!
Huh? Yeah I met them.
There's no problem at all.
They all understand.
I just want to have dates with you at Shibuya. Right? Right?
Yu Jin!
Thank you for saving my life today.
Thank you for participating in my piece.
I'm serious.
Good bye.
Umm...
Let's go together to the station.
What about your car?
It's broken. It's in the shop.
Let's go.
But...
Really.
It's good. Let's just forget it.
We will give back his money first.
We can just look for some other investor.
We will need a bit more time.
Jae Yi.
Come on.
Don't worry.
Hey, it's better than trying to improve Jessie.
We might as well get someone who can sing better.
Actually...
Money ...
You don't have it?
You knew already?
You fool.
Even though, money is the last thing that I was interested in,
you thought that I wouldn't know that when I said that I wanted to do the production?
So you knew.
I thought that you didn't know.
But if we want to make up for that...
You've probably spent some.
You've paid the actors, contracts, and things like that.
You're missing about 100k right?
That's nothing.
We can just ask President Huh to wait until we have someone else.
Or we can just pay him back after the show.
Jae Yi... That's...
Yeah?
Ok.
I'll go right now.
It's President Huh. He's back.
Hurry up!
Thanks to you! Quitting smoking for 3 years is not all a waste.
Oh, I'm getting light-headed.
Did you talk to Jessie?
Of course we talked about it.
She says that she wants to do musicals next time.
She will go to Japan first.
It's already out on the media.
Next time? Hey!
Jessie was never really interested in doing musicals in the first place.
And she will never be.
It was hard for her to tell you that she couldn't do it in the beginning.
You bastard.
I thought you would be different.
Looks like I'm wrong.
You're just another music junkie.
What?
Jessie told me.
When I see you guys,
you guys will say that she had no interest of doing musicals in the first place.
She said that you will blame it on her.
So...
You believe her?
Why would Jessie lie to me?
Forget it. Just give my money back.
Let's go with someone else.
The actress that Jessie had problems with, she already stepped out.
Someone else?
Why would I pay for someone else?
You want me to hurt Jessie with my money?
Hey! Hey!
Yes.
Give back the rest of the money by tomorrow morning.
The rest will be good in a week right?
We will pay back the money spent,
when we have another sponsor. Wait for us until then.
How much have you spent already?
About 10%...
100k? I can wait for that.
100k?
How is 10% 100k?
10% of 1 million is 100k.
What happened?
Umm.. President.
Please convince Jessie. Or let us go with someone else.
If we stop right now,
I already paid for CG rent, props, and artworks in such a hurry that...
I paid full in cash without refund.
It's going to be near impossible to find another sponsor under these conditions.
Please!
You said you spend 10%.
10%.
Get up!
Get up and talk.
In other words...
10%...
is left.
I didn't spent 10%. I have 10% left.
I have a little less than 100k.
I must be crazy.
I'm really getting light headed here.
Hey!
Nevermind.
I will give you one week to put the money back in.
You're signed as a co-signer in the contract.
So...
You don't want to do the musical production?
Why would I do such a thing?
It just made me look good as a sponsor.
Why couldn't you just convince Jessie?
You can't even deal with a kid?
You...
Jessie isn't all that she appears to be.
Just pay back my money ok?
Sorry, Jae Yi.
You know stage lights, stage, and props - they only accept cash.
You know those people have people lined up working with them.
They were already signed for Monti.
And I wanted to make a great piece.
I'm going nuts.
Am I out of my mind?
I...
I guess I'm being punished.
I'm getting punished for not being sincere.
I'm being punished that I wasn't sincere about musicals like you.
I'm being punished.
I need to go to that side.
Please go in.
Release the chains that were binding me.
Now, I...
Release the chains that were binding me.
[Suh Ra Kyung]
I'm sorry, the number you've...
[Yu Jin]
[Jang Joon Hyuk]
Did you see the moon?
It's pretty just like you.
I was really upset.
But watching moon and thinking about you,
made me feel really good.
Good night.
Please enter your pin.
Total Balance : $21,920.329
Mr. Hong.
Oh!
Would you like a cup of tea?
No.
Umm... Manager?
It's been a long time since you've become a VIP in our branch.
But it's the first time you're drinking coffee in my office.
If I'm a VIP,
that means I have a lot of money in here?
Definitely.
The contract money you've received when you signed new contracts.
You've also set up the monthly incentives to automatically come into this account.
I see.
That means...
How much is the total?
I don't know the accurate number.
I don't need something accurate.
Do I have about 900k?
I really need 900k.
Why such a big amount all of the sudden?
Anyways, regardless of the amount,
The money you can use,
is the balance on that account.
Why?
Why only these?
I thought I was VIP.
You know Jae Shin...
I mean, your sister takes care of all the funds.
Except for the monthly incentives you get every month like this,
They are tied up in equities like savings and fund.
Can I terminate this?
If you want to terminate this,
you need to call your sister.
That was the condition she made when she put all the deposits here.
But this is my money.
I earned it. It's under my name.
If you touch money other than money in this account,
Jae Shin will fly here from America.
Then you and I are dead, Jae Yi.
You know that right?
I can't do it. I can't.
They can hear you, you know.
Yes, this is Hong Jae Yi.
Can I see you today?
Thank you!
I was actually giving up you know.
You haven't received any of my calls.
I think we must settle on the conditions.
Just give me any condition.
I will comply no matter what.
$1 million in cash by tomorrow.
Can you get it ready?
$1 million?
You know taking out such amount in cash in just 2 days,
is putting their fate and the fate of our company onto you.
If you're willing to take the responsibility,
you should write their next album. All of the songs.
If you take charge of them going to America,
I can do that.
Until the next album.
Yes.
In that case,
until their second album gets to America, which is about 4 to 5 years,
you won't be able to do anything else.
Hello.
Before the practice?
Yes, it's fine.
Where are we going though?
You want me to teach you how to sing?
How can I teach someone?
You were good!
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
I will see you then.
Ok! Ok!
Was that Yu Jin?
Yes. He wants to show me something.
I guess he's doing well.
Huh?
It's nothing.
I think he's concerned about me because I joined late.
I'm thankful.
Yes.
Do Hwa's song.
Exclusive Contract
You want me to be a slave for 4 years?

Subtitles by DramaFever
I'm Director An Sung Ha, in charge of this album.
Have we met?
How have you been?
You look dumbfounded still.
I guess you still can't remember.
Can you remember now?
Let's start again then.
You're working hard still. Have a safe trip.
Ok.
