The actress you have in mind.
You made friends with the writer and got the part that you didn't even deserve.
I know that much. Am I wrong?
I'll take the double casting. I'll just have to show her.
I'll show her what it's like to do double casting with me.
-I'm doing double with Bae Kang Hee? -It doesn't make sense?
She wants to have fair judge for the part that goes with Bae Kang Hee.
The reason I stopped singing was because I didn't think the confession would be easy.
I didn't think that I could sing it in one breath.
Up until now, Choo Jung Eun and Go Eun Bi are tied.
We just need to add Kang Hee's scores.
If it's a tie... My choice is...
I'm worried even if you make it.
About what?
Bae Kang Hee is most interested in winning Hong Jae Yi's heart back.
Getting it back? Are they still going out?
Hey! This is the most confidential information that only the inner circle knows.
Kang Hee is married so she can't say it straight up that Hong Jae Yi's hers.
But you know, she's like, "You can't go out with other girls ever!"
You must know everything.
Did you talk with Kang Hee about this?
I don't have to ask her.
How can you be so slow?
Even if you make the audition, you think she will leave you alone?
It's not like I'm Hong Jae Yi's girlfriend.
That's what I'm saying! That's even worse!
The real players never say "no" straight up.
They just use their eyes to talk.
They will just kill you silently. Kill you!
It's decided.
How did it go? Let's go! Let's go.
Thank you for coming all the way out here.
We're sorry but we will work with you next time.
Pleasure to work with you.
Why do you... me?
You're a changed person. You can even be considerate now.
It's not like that.
You're better than Go Eun Bi but you still didn't make it.
And I was the judge.
I don't think you have to explain that.
She's like you.
Do you know how bad you were at singing in the beginning?
I was like, "How can she do musicals?"
Was I?
I was better than her at singing. I know that!
But she is really into Do Hwa's role.
But I just sang the song according to the music like a bird.
Therefore, I admit that I lost.
You and I met at the same place. You got all the way up there, and I'm still here.
How far do you think you can go, Sweetie?
Until I die.
I'll push forward until I die.
See? You guys are alike.
We're never going to lose!
Anyways! The important part is that I always knew that everything will work out like this.
Go Eun Bi, she refused to take the easy way out using connections.
She's the last actress in this era who tries to do everything on her own. Go Eun Bi!
No wonder he doesn't gain any weight. He has to blab three times more than others.
Anyways! We have come this far.
Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails.
We only need to make it the best musical made in Korea!
Let's all toast!
Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails! Cheers!
You should watch it after editing. Why are you watching this?
I need to make contracts for it to go on TV.
For actresses that are already under contract, we must also speak with their management companies.
You're a person with a manual book in your head.
Manual?
Once you get an input in your head about what's happening,
then... You get instructions from A to Z.
I need to be efficient.
Is it her?
Go Eun Bi. She got the part.
Yeah.
She was quite impressive.
What?
Other people worried about the size of the audition.
Also about its sponsor, Amour.
They had expectations about what they would gain once they got the part.
But Eun Bi only talked about the musical.
It's really hard to express that you may even die for falling in love.
It also makes it very interesting.
Unless I really jump into the character, Do Hwa.
I would have felt like I was lying.
What?
It never gets old.
What?
It's really fun watching you.
I don't think you look at me as a human being.
Then what do I look at you as?
Like a toy? Or a hamster.
That's not true. Not a toy or a hamster.
Maltese or Chihuahua?
They are still not human!
What? You thought you were a human being?
Good job today.
You were really great on the stage.
Thank you!
[Sunbae! Have a happy day!]
I wonder who it is. He does it everyday.
I see.
I'm going to the workshop today.
-I told you right? It's for three days. -I'm going too.
You, too?
I'm not taking the bus though. I'll go by myself.
Why would the queen come when the peasants are going to a workshop?
Everyone is here. Why wouldn't she come?
That's why I'm telling you to not tell anyone that you work on stage.
What do you do in a workshop?
What do you mean do what?
Practice singing. Practice dancing. Team work and stuff.
You think I don't even know this?
Sang Mi? Just sleep! I'll wake you up when we get there.
That's why I'm saying you still have a far way to go.
When the underlings go to countryside and practice to get everything ready,
That's when the queen makes her appearance and then just woosh!
Finish the final piece.
So I'm saying why is the queen, who should be dressed all elegant at the dinner table,
going out to the market to buy ingredients?
It's like that?
Yeah.
Eat some.
Oh...
Aigoo!!!
-Ra Kyung, you're so mean. -What?
If a pretty girl like you keeps on watching out for my mood,
what would people think of me?
-It's not like that. -I have a mouth too you know.
Eat some, teacher!
I mean I have some for you too Kang Hee.
You're even mumbling.
How will you deal with being the wife of the chairman of the empire?
We were all surprised.
You haven't come to these places for a while.
I went to workshops more than 100 times.
There's a bit of tension because you're coming too.
I think it will be very successful.
You've made a very difficult decision.
Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails is my work now.
Of course.
I'm Jang Joon Hyuk who will be the assistant director as of today.
I'll distribute room keys and give you the schedule for the workshop.
That guy...
Who is he?
He didn't even have to serve military duty. But he did anyways. Marine.
He spends an entire year with just $100.
Drama freak.
Go Eun Bi and Sa Bok Ja will be building B #304.
They put in a lot of efforts for you.
When I came alone, I never used a room like this.
Here! here!
Did I once laugh like that?
No.
Not like that.
Even when you were a rookie,
you talked like Madonna.
You also laughed like her.
Elegant and high-class.
No way!
You were!
Who dares to look down at me?
You always said it with your face.
All of you come to the big hall in 30 minutes!
It will be singing and chorus practice.
After the practice we will go straight into barbecue party.
If you skip practice, no BBQ for you.
Why are you carrying this?
It's ok.
I'm staff too.
Take one of this.
You should be thirsty from yelling all the time.
Thank you.
I'll see you in a bit.
BBQ will be good.
All of you come to the big hall in 30 minutes!
For singing practice and chorus.
If you skip practice, no BBQ for you!
Eun Bi! It's me.
Open the door!
I brought you coffee.
Kang Hee.
I felt like drinking coffee.
Eun Bi! Can I have some?
Hi, teacher.
I told them the benefits of going upside down.
They are doing it right away.
Come in.
It's so good.
Jae Yi is really good at making coffee huh?
I don't really get coffee.
But I think so.
If you don't get it yet, it's better to leave it that way.
Actors and actresses should stay away from anything that can be addictive.
Drinking, coffee, smoking...
It's bad for your health. And it's hard to quit.
Yes.
Especially among the actresses,
I've seen some that were addicted to men.
They couldn't stand straight.
No.
Being in love is good.
It's a privilege for actresses.
I'll go warm up my throat first.
Go Eun Bi. You want to go together?
-Me ... me? -Mm Hmm.
I'll see you again.
Thank you for coffee.
Ok.
What's so funny?
In poker table,
when a beginner and pro meet
do you know who loses?
Who?
Everyone else on the table.
And the person who cashed out will laugh.
It's so fun.
Let's start by doing this.
Ok, come.
Two, four!
Relax. Relax.
Very good.
We will separate into A and B parts.
In Yeong!
Ok, we will go by two people.
Let's do harmony up until where you can.
Please grab a partner.
Eun Bi, you want to come here?
Let's do it with me.
Me?
We will go first.
You do the high tone. I'll back you up with the lower tone.
It's ok.
I'm still bad at high pitch.
What are you talking about?
That's why you should do it.
If I back you up with accuracy, it will be much easier for you.
Let's go. I'll help you.
Have your ears and shoulders far away. Pull your chin in a bit.
Have plenty of breath.
Let's try it.
You know Bae Kang Hee...
Everyone must have gotten her wrong.
I wish someone looked out for me like that.
I could be the lead actress right away.
I don't know if that's Bae Kang Hee's real self.
Why would her husband be like that?
Isn't that the expression of a tourist in front of volcano that will blow any moment?
What are you talking about?
What's wrong? Step up! What are you scared of?
Have your ears and shoulders apart.
Imagine there's a string above your head.
Relax your shoulders. Have plenty of breath.
One more time.
I think you can get there if you practice just a bit more.
Don't kill your cheek bones. Up your cheeks.
Pull in your chin.
Plenty of breath.
Relax your body.
Let's try it again.
That was good.
See?
If she doesn't mean it, why would she go that far?
I don't know.
That's why it's even scarier.
I think it will go real smoothly.
Kang Hee is professional for sure.
Yes. Professional.
Eat a lot.
Ra Kyung! You should have some too. Sit!
Representative Yu must have budgeted the project way too small.
You're taking photos yourself.
No! I wanted to do this.
Oh yeah, you did some professional photography right?
Not professional.
She even had her gallery. She's not too bad.
Eat a lot. Eun Bi.
What are we doing after dinner?
We're going to go based on the lead roles.
About what we talked about with Representative Han.
We should do the settings.
We should discuss this with Representative Yu. It's related directly with budget.
I brought the estimate and budget. We will decide today.
~But, I'm unable to stop it.~
Wait a moment.
Eun Bi, how's the beginning of the song?
What?
This song...
The writer wants it really touching.
He wants you to sing more carefully right here.
But I think this may also work too.
Come with me.
~The only thing that I want!~
~But I just can't stop it.~
~My love or you.~
~I'll tell you everything honestly.~
~I'll say it with my one last breath.~
~You're my only love.~
That's also good too.
I love it!
It's great! You're the best.
Wait a moment.
This part here is a confession despite of the huge consequences that
this will bring.
You saw it like that.
No. Yes. I mean I did.
But compared to mine, I think Kang Hee's is much better.
I don't think we should underestimate Eun Bi,
and go around.
We still have time.
She will be fine if she practices.
I'll also help.
I'll try my best.
Moron! Are you kidding me? Giving up on interpreting it your way?
What's wrong with her teaching me? Good night!
You. Come out.
I can't eat anymore.
I'm full!
What's that?
Don't be stumbled like a fool!
Bae Kang Hee says one thing, and you just throw everything away?
Let me see.
It's not like that.
Just look at me.
Here.
I...
The day after I entered college was March 4th.
That's when I saw a musical for the first time in my life.
The lead actress was Bae Kang Hee.
Kang Hee.
She has put a fire in many girls in Korea.
Yes.
I've gotten this far from that fire.
I wished to get her lesson just once.
If... If...
We were on the same stage,
Even if she gets the spotlight up there, and I'm at the edge of the stage.
If even I do chorus, or...
If I just stand there without a line.
I'll still be happy.
That's what I wished for.
Then I wished that before I die,
I would die to do a duet with her.
My dreams grew.
I spent 4 years like that.
After watching her performance,
there was not a single time when my heart wasn't touched...
So to me... Bae Kang Hee is...
pretty much the musical itself.
Someone like that is teaching me. And is singing the same song as me.
Eun Bi!
Teacher!
Thanks to you, I'm where I am now.
I haven't forgotten that either.
I don't know how I should explain this.
Kang Hee is...
She's not like you.
Of course, she isn't.
It's not like that.
Eun Bi!
Teacher!
Goodnight.
I'll be doing the screenplay and directing.
Han will be...
Supervisor.
You should care especially for the video.
I chose some backgrounds.
I separated video and set parts.
But if these all go in,
it will be at least a 2-and-a-half-hour performance.
The budget will be quite large.
Including marketing, we budgeted 5.5 million dollars.
3 million from Amour.
And the rest will be sponsored.
Not 4 but 5.5 million?
Are you not confident?
No, it's not that.
I'm just...
I'm an artist. Who understands numbers?
But you don't need to worry.
You know what it means that Amour and Yu Jin are investing 3 million?
If Chung Dam Dong Nine Tails is a success,
Dae Hak Ro is watching how Korean musicals will change through this.
You should have your life depended on it.
Of course.
If I had 5 lives,
I'll put all 5 lives on it.
Looks like we have a lot of lives on the line.
Yes.
Anything fun recently?
You don't even call anymore.
Who was it again?
She's not good at singing.
But she's really good at this.
Jae Yun?
Yeah! Jae Yun.
She's doing sitcoms right?
She's pretty popular.
She got her eyes done huh?
What's wrong? Is something wrong?
It wouldn't taste too good.
Even if there's a great producing,
we can't really make money out of it.
You always look for an amazing producing.
Amour is investing 3 million on making a musical.
Are investors just watching it?
Yu Jin is so good at this you know?
Dummies are just falling for it.
What if he really succeeds?
You're out of the picture then.
Hello?
If Yu Jin succeeds...
It will be bad for both you and me.
Shouldn't you do something by now?
Do what?
3 million in making musicals.
A rookie is doing a double with Bae Kang Hee.
Even if they don't say it,
the investors are probably scared out of their wits.
Poke some of them.
Poke them.
If Yu Jin just quits the musicals that's it then.
Geez.
You think it will be easy for him to just quit?
He already opened up an audition. Already spent a lot of the funds.
He can't go back.
He will stand stubbornly.
And the investors will hate him for it.
If he insists to continue,
then we may even have to change the representative of the fund.
Who has ever run a musical fund in Korea?
Yu Jae Jun. You're the only one!
Call Jae Yun. Let's have fun.
Steak is really good here.
Eat up!
Toast!
Live it up.
This is just the MIDI sample.
But on the stage, the orchestra will be with you.
It's so good!
If he had 5 lives,
he says that he would put all of them on this musical.
Lives?
Director, Gu Jak.
He only has his life.
You don't need to worry about it.
What will you put on the line?
What will you put other than your life?
What are you talking about?
You need my life too?
I invest, forecast, and put in efforts.
That's how I gain what I want.
During the process,
I throw away pride, personality, or my character.
But.
There are people who try to get it without risking anything.
Just tell me what you want to say.
I've put in everything in your ability.
I can't have a say in the result. Nor can I predict the outcome.
I'm just saying that it would be nice if you put more interest in this project.
Not just on one person.
An actress that gives inspiration to the writer.
She should be the actress that can make the character for the story.
It's the actress that opens up the journey of the character on stage.
No matter how big of a star you are.
The fact that you must be chosen by someone to start working,
it's a bit sad.
The last words were really great.
Interview is an extension of work.
In the future, when you have an interview, you must be really careful.
They always say the interview is over and put their notes down.
They say their recorders are off.
And they make you talk.
But then the story is always on what you say then.
Really?
That's how my marriage got on news.
Should we do Eun Bi's interview here?
We should first change the settings first.
Let's get Eun Bi ready.
Ready?
Do Hwa feels love and gets fur right here.
This is when you have special effects, and change the stage settings.
We get off right here, and the video will come in.
It goes back to several centuries ago.
Do we use the theme song here?
Yes. We should string instruments here.
Based on the design so far, graphics and the video will cost about 800k.
What's this?
Eun Bi! Eun Bi!
She's really Do Hwa!
You look completely different with make-up on.
Kang Hee...
She said that I should always be ready in front of the camera.
She did this herself.
She even told us to do it here.
Really?
Kang Hee is really great.
She is so considerate. You must be so happy.
She is really sucking up her love!
We're all ready. Should we get started?
Yes.
Should we start from your role?
After high school, I got into college.
What was your question again?
Why am I being good to Eun Bi?
My true reason?
You came to me first.
I got the first objective.
Go Eun Bi wants to be a musical actress.
She also follows writer Hong Jae Yi, who helps her pursue her dream.
You want to replace me?
The longer she is with me, she will naturally know.
How I feel about you.
My heart, and time that went by.
And time with me will be shortened.
You just wanted to spend time together?
You didn't want to see her become an actress?
I'll help her in doing that.
The Bae Kang Hee that Go Eun Bi wanted to see so badly.
If you take this kind of opportunity away from her.
That means that you didn't see her as an actress with potential.
Rather you just wanted to make her fall for you, using your status as an musical writer.
Was there a special reason that you went to med school?
My grandmother is like a mother to me.
She has bad lungs. So in high school,
I went to med school saying that I'll find her a cure.
Does she know that you're here?
I was called by my father, and when I was coming back.
Grandmother took me to the station.
If she survives until I graduate, and then wait for me to find her a cure,
she will be well over 80.
If she passes away before that,
"I'm just living up to my destiny. I don't want you to cry about it. "
"Might as well..."
"show me you becoming a great actress before that."
It's thanks to her support. Thanks to her.
I'm at where I am right now.
That should be enough right?
Yeah.
Let's drink coffee.
Can you go first? Let me clean up.
Representative Yu.
Yes.
It should be your choreography workshop soon.
I think you have a right to hate me.
-Who? -Me.
-Me? -Yes.
Now that I think about it.
I probably looked stupid to you.
Really?
So people including you...
No, actually I really wanted to be honest to myself.
That's great. I admire that.
Why do you still hate me then?
Me? Why do you think so?
You don't?
No.
By the way,
do you have an issue where everyone around you must love you or something?
No! It's not like that at all.
I always got the feeling that you hated me.
Do I look like a person who would hate or love someone when I work?
Then it's just your wrong guess?
I guess it was.
They're alike. Go Eun Bi is like your father.
That's why you're angry at her.
What?
Every time I saw her, I thought she reminds me of someone.
But then I realized it when I saw you vulnerable like that.
I was vulnerable?
Like you said. It was the face that you never showed to anyone.
Even to me.
Even you get surprised by it, and become colder or friendlier.
I think that's it.
Go Eun Bi... She definitely is weird.
She made Bae Kang Hee get off her track.
She made even Ra Kyung confused.
I'm confused?
You are. Don't be. She's not worth it.
She smiles. She drags everyone into her.
Once she decides on something that she likes, she doesn't care what the world thinks.
She puts everyone into trouble. But makes herself look innocent and honest.
She is full of herself.
Yes, I guess they are alike.
Is that why you're angry?
Have you seen me angry because of father?
Don't be confused. She's not worth it.
One more time.
I love you everybody!
Dad!
Jin Young! We must get back up. Father's waiting!
I want to give Jin a ride with this.
He played enough.
Today is my last day of vacation.
I didn't rest for a single day for the past 3 months.
Father is waiting for you!
He doesn't need me. Jin! Come!
No!
Sun Hee!
I'll take Jin up.
I'll come back tomorrow with this.
Jin Young!
I want to have some more fun. What are you going to do, Jin?
I'm going to go with Dad.
Yu Jin!
Yeah.
Could you not hear me? I called you many times.
What are you thinking about?
Think about what? It's nothing.
So we were thinking about not America,
but investing in China would be better.
What's the conclusion of the data you gave me?
Increase investment to America.
And you want to invest in China?
Yes. The research team in China,
has made contact with government officials.
He's the man who supported us when we built factories in China last time.
We even confirmed with Chairman Ju.
So... You want to go China trusting one man?
You can enter the Chinese market only through connections.
What if he dies or gets sick?
What?
What if he gets thrown out by his superior?
Information, market research, analysis...
You want to ignore all of these efforts done by people working for you.
Ignore the flow of the economy.
And you want to pioneer a market based on one person?
You think that makes sense?
Why did you even bother to make this then? You could have just talked.
-You trust Executive Choi! -He can say so!
He wants to make something happen through the line he has pioneered with much effort.
I understand that!
Can the C.E.O. have the same mind as his employees?
If the person who makes the final decision gets confused by one report,
how can other people work?
Tell Choi,
to maintain the good relationship with the government official.
Have more research done on the market.
You already knew about this?
Based on this report and on forecast,
make another plan to decide where to invest in.
Oh yeah, I'll give you two days.
Have all the plans ready for every company.
You may leave.
Unless you recognize me as the C.E.O.,
I can't think as one!
What did you say?
You have the solutions guide in your hand, and you're testing me.
Do you know that?
I must do the surgery as a doctor.
But I can't even go in the operating room.
I'm just endlessly solving problems.
The patient may die by giving surgeries without caution.
You're waiting for the person to give the surgery to.
Aren't you just delaying time?
What do you mean?
Jin Young isn't coming back.
Jin? No! Once should be enough of me getting outrun!
I'm not going to let Jae Jun get what I had to go through.
You think Jae Jun can take over my business?
They say positions make the character.
If he gets the right jobs, he will have the right ability.
If you look over it just because he's your child...
It's you! You're overlooking your child!
I think it's changed a lot from what you first proposed.
We were going to do black and white 20 minute piece.
Now we're working for a 3D blockbuster movie. Of course it should be different.
Looks like the workshop served its job.
They said that they made a fun program. They want you all out.
Really? Let's go.
You want to go?
Ok.
Are we clear with the rules?
Yes.
We're going to block the people outside the circle to enter the circle.
People outside must enter the circle no matter what.
Yes.
Who wants to go first?
I'll do it.
Ok! La Jun!
Ready! Start!
It looks like a simple game.
But it really helps them with teamwork.
People who are really social get into circles very easily.
In some middle school,
they played the same game with class president.
The class president couldn't get in for 3 days.
She was smart and pretty.
You know, they hated her for it.
It was only a game...
But kids showed their true feelings.
The class president got desperate.
Eventually she cried,
and children forgave her because of her tears. And she got in eventually.
Next one.
Me.
Kang Hee! Hands!
What are we going to do?
Get ready!
Kids!
Don't worry. People who are respected
get in the circles rather quickly.
Clap!
Eun Bi try this time! Go Eun Bi!
We absolutely cannot be used by her, absolutely cannot.
That's right!
We show our true feelings better through actions than through words.
Same goes with face and eyes.
Concern, hate, you can lie.
But your actions do not lie.
It's dangerous!
