[Episode 103]
Are you busy right now?
No.
Hello?
Go ahead and speak.
Can I make some changes to the scenes?
Where are you now?
At the office.
I'm at the office, too.
Let's meet and talk.
Do you want to come up?
Or should I go down?
We don't have to meet if you don't want to.
I'll go up.
Okay.
Yes.
You're having instant noodles?
Yes.
Is it your dinner?
Yes.
You don't want any, right?
No.
Is there a lot to change?
No.
I just have a few ideas.
You can change it.
Can I add some new episodes?
Write whatever you think is necessary.
Okay.
You'll look it over anyway, right?
Did you already have dinner?
I had a few rice cakes.
Do you like rice cakes?
My nickname is rice cake killer.
I'll bring you some.
Okay.
What do you think about the new guy?
I think he's fine.
He drives safely and understands me well.
Even if a person lacks in some skills, he should be honest and trustworthy.
Mom, Writer Jung is more attractive as I get to know him.
More attractive?
Yes.
How?
Yesterday, we went to a karaoke together and...
I can't explain it.
You have to see him to understand me.
He sings well?
He even dances well.
It's not just ordinary dancing, it sucks you in if you watch him.
He doesn't even look like a fun person.
I know. That's why it's more entertaining.
I guess everyone has different talents.
Is Dad late again today?
There's an emergency at Sonji's.
Every family takes turns with these crazy incidents.
What's wrong?
You're eating without kimchi?
It's still good without it.
It tastes very good.
Do you even have kimchi at home?
I have some kimchi from winter.
It should be old by now.
Don't you usually get new kimchi during springtime?
People make kimchi at home, too.
So you're full of new episode ideas?
Because the story itself is good, and it's very impactful.
Finish your dinner.
I don't mind it when people watch me eat.
Where did you get these rice cakes?
The artists usually bring them in for their exhibition openings.
They sent the rice cakes to us.
It's different from the ones you buy at the market.
I'm picky with food.
I'll pack some for you.
Okay.
Enjoy your meal.
It tastes good.
Everything was good.
Even though it was thick and disastrous, it was still delicious.
The broth tasted good.
Yes.
It probably tasted better since we made it on our own.
We should do this more often, for our family's happiness.
That's true.
The news is on.
Footage of a horse being beaten has appeared on YouTube.
That's so sad.
How can he call himself a human being?
How cruel can he be to an animal? My goodness!
I can't watch this. Turn it off!
Pretending to be human.
The horse is probably shaking since it gets beaten every day.
Humans can be the most beautiful creatures, but also the cruelest.
That's right.
I shouldn't ride horse carriages when I see them while sightseeing.
Yeah.
They should get rid of horse carriage sightseeing.
Why do we need them anyway?
It's animal cruelty when elephants show us their tricks.
I heard that they torture them with nails.
It'll all come back to them. Why don't they know?
I don't think I'm digesting my food well.
Should I bring you some medicine?
No, maybe some of the Andong rice punch you brought.
Okay.
I want some, too.
Bring the whole jar.
Okay.
I shouldn't have watched that.
Their friendship was ruined because of me.
It's not because of you.
It's actually because of me.
Don't worry.
I'm sure they'll make up once our issue is resolved.
You say that because you weren't there. It was intense.
Everyone gets intense when they're mad.
Sonji can be like that sometimes.
I know.
Time will solve everything.
You know, we're meant to be together for sure.
Do you want to know why?
My dad appeared in my dreams.
Really?
I went into a cafe and...
So you don't need to feel so bad.
Is your dream accurate?
I don't know about the other ones, but this one was accurate for sure.
Why are you filming this?
I'll watch it later. It's all a good memory.
Hwaom.
What are you going to do for me?
Huh?
You promised me something if I made dough flake soup in front of the family.
When did I?
You never disagreed, so you basically agreed.
Are you changing your story?
Yaya, the girl with a conscience.
So did you do it?
Yes. I even filmed it.
Muom filmed it for you?
No, Grandma did.
So come to Busan with me and Junso's family.
Hyogyong is in no situation to go to Busan.
Did Sonji say anything?
No.
Did she find out?
Yes.
She thinks it's my fault.
Gosh.
How can you make someone fall for someone?
Don't say anything.
Of course I won't.
A sister-in law and brother-in law can never become comfortable.
Forget Busan, then.
Let me see you wear that Chinese dress once more.
Are you being serious?
Of course I am.
That's embarrassing.
Come on, it's not like I'm telling you to put on a swimsuit.
Let's go eat at Myeongdong Hotel Cheongyeon wearing that.
Isn't that a Chinese restaurant?
Yeah.
What would the employees working there say?
They'd love it.
Gosh.
I'd look too silly wearing a Chinese dress at a Chinese restaurant.
The customers will think I work there.
I'm the eldest son and I made dough flakes in front of the family.
Isn't that the least you can do for me.
You said you went to the nightclub in monk's attire once?
Huh?
Fine, if that's what you want.
Are you done with Episode 2?
Let me borrow a jacket.
Almost done, let's talk later.
Okay.
What jacket?
The leather jacket you got in Milan.
Can I just have it? As a wedding gift.
You get to produce your first project as your wedding gift.
You're a guy, why do you care about clothes so much?
You express yourself with your clothes.
You can figure a person out by what he's wearing.
Brother.
Take it, then.
Thank you!
Honey, I've been totally betrayed by Yaya.
What do you mean?
She tried to set my brother up with Hyogyong.
Junso's mom?
Yes. It was all planned.
Yes?
Review it, please.
It must've been hard work for you.
Not at all.
It's harder for you who's writing the whole thing.
I'm craving some meat since I've been concentrating so much.
I can't go eat grilled pork belly by myself.
Let's go, then. I like grilled pork belly, too.
Wouldn't you be shocked, too?
She really planned it all along?
She never denied it.
What am I going to do with my brother?
My mom is a mess right now.
How can she do this to us and betray us?
Two orders, please.
Okay.
The black grilled pork belly from Jeju Island is so good.
You have to eat it in Jeju.
You can't enjoy the same taste here in Seoul.
When did you visit there?
Last early spring...
when the canola flowers were in full blossom.
You've been to Jeju, right?
I've been there once.
I didn't get to see the canola flowers, though.
I'm going to live in Jeju when I turn 40.
There's no other island like it in the world.
There are mountains, ocean, beautiful scenery, and delicious food.
With whom?
I don't mind if I go alone.
I like being alone, too.
You don't like being alone?
I don't mind.
I can spend time with people who don't mind being alone.
People who can't be alone make the people around them weary.
I think you're right.
Even from your writing, I feel like you know a lot about people.
I had to be perceptive around others when growing up.
Not to my sister, but to the world around me.
It's the same for me.
I'll pay for the Jeju vacation after we're done with this drama,
with a few staff members who worked hard on the project.
Why did you take the bar exam?
Because of my mom.
I wanted to become a district attorney at first.
My mom was remarried a policeman.
I resented her and I thought I could brag to her later.
Then why did you become a lawyer?
I didn't have good enough grades.
But I changed my mind during legal training.
Is it right for one human being to judge another under the law?
Is it right to do so?
This society might need the law and it might be right,
but I didn't want to be a part of it.
But that wasn't even the case when I became a lawyer.
If my client wanted to make an innocent man a criminal,
I'd have to be on the same team just because he's my client.
I had to come up with false statements to charge the innocent person.
That's a big sin.
I tried it for about a year, then I just gave it all up.
That isn't something one should do.
That's the story of my life.
You've lived a shameless life.
I teared up in front of a friend.
and have small shameful incidents, but overall I'm shameless.
So you shouldn't trust people either. Even if it's your friend or someone else.
You don't have anyone to trust but your family.
Okay.
It's really good.
I think this place might be the best place in Seoul.
You look younger than your age.
You've heard that before, right?
Yes.
You look younger than Hwaom.
Do you know why?
Because I didn't eat enough food.
I didn't get to eat much when I was growing up.
But I saw on a health program on HBN
that eating less is healthier and makes you age less.
Oh, my. Is that right?
Yes.
Then I should stop eating.
You should eat well when you're working hard.
You only had three pieces of meat.
Grilled pork belly and green onion slices go well together.
Yes.
You never had grilled pork belly with Hwaom before, huh?
No. How did you know?
Hwaom doesn't like pork.
All right.
Mother, my brother wants to get married, but there's a small problem.
Can I be out in the morning?
He's getting married?
Yes.
I'll tell you more about it later.
You can just go out whenever you need to. You don't need my permission.
What kind of problem is it?
She says she'll tell us later.
How is the spicy beef stew?
It's good.
Yes.
I didn't use artificial flavoring like you said.
Yaya, isn't Writer Jung quite charming?
Yeah.
I heard he's a good dancer.
I don't know if you could call that dancing.
Men who know how to have fun are usually playboys.
Most men are playboys these days, Dad.
You have to be a playboy to survive.
Did he try to do anything?
He didn't show any special interest?
No.
It's quite the opposite.
Yaya, can you make my lines as interesting as possible?
So I won't be too far behind Yoo Raeka.
I'll try, but you know the story will revolve around the main characters.
Don't be too greedy.
You can't have everything on your first try.
Is Yoo Raeka the main character?
Yes, Father.
She's popular among guys nowadays.
Do you like those types of girls, too?
I like petite-sized women like you.
My friends talk about her when we meet.
You old men!
Are you calling me an old man, too?
Well, aren't you guys too old to talk about young actresses?
Aren't I right?
Right.
It doesn't look nice.
Our hearts are still young, you know.
Artist Kim Yoon sent us mustard leaves kimchi.
We don't need it, right? Since we have a lot of kimchi.
Yeah, why?
I was thinking of giving it to Writer Jung.
You should.
You should prepare other stuff he might need.
Should I tell the maid to prepare some side dishes?
Okay.
Songjun can be a main character on a romance drama.
Did you meet him?
Yes, yesterday.
I don't think anyone can talk him out of it. He wants to marry her.
Whoever the girl is, she won the jackpot.
Songjun has a nice background, except his mother, Ms. Widow.
Ms. Widow?
Where did you learn such an expression?
I saw it on a drama.
Dramas ruin kids these days.
That's not necessarily true.
You can learn from dramas, too.
She's right, Dad.
You shouldn't say that. I'll be on a drama, too.
It's scary to turn on the TV these days.
All they show are abductions, attempted murders, memory losses...
Our drama has a pretty strong story, too.
What kind of story is it?
It's a secret!
Did you hear about Junso's mom from Yaya? Her and my brother-in-law.
Did you hear from Sonji?
How could Yaya do that?
What did she do?
She didn't try to stop them. She actually tried to set them up!
She didn't try to set them up.
My wife heard her yesterday.
We should stay out of this.
This is regarding my wife's family! How can I stay out of it?
A third party shouldn't be involved in someone else's love life.
And don't you know Yaya?
I do, but this makes no sense.
There are no boundaries in love.
It'd be too materialistic to consider one's background instead.
She's a mom and a widow.
Everyone can become a widow!
You never know what'll happen tomorrow in life.
If we had an older brother,
you think you could bless him marrying a widow with a kid?
What can we do if he loves her?
Well, you're the one who wanted to marry Yaya.
Only the people involved know how they really feel.
It's not only about them. You have to think about the family.
What would people say?
I would say that it's pretty cool. Marriage without any conditions!
What about my mother-in-law?
She raised him for 35 years and everything will be in vain.
Is he dead?
What do you mean, in vain?
Choosing anything better is always for the better.
You should marry someone with similar backgrounds.
Both should be single with similar backgrounds.
A well-off single artist with a widow and a child...
The more I think about it, this isn't right.
Anyway, don't say anything to Yaya.
I won't, but you should talk to her.
Tell her to talk Hyogyong out of this.
It's sour, so just swallow it.
Swallow. Swallow. Swallow.
Good.
Big gulp!
What's the matter?
Are you feeling dizzy?
I was doing the dishes
and suddenly I felt nauseous and my head started hurting!
Isn't this a symptom of a stroke?
You should go to the hospital!
You can't walk?
Hold on to him until 2 at the latest.
Which hospital should we go to?
Let's just go to Seocho Hospital.
I think we should go to a general hospital.
Ilwondong Hospital, then?
Yes.
Should I call Dr. Yoon?
Yes.
See?
Where did you learn to do this?
From Yaya.
Oh, you really did it.
I'll be leaving.
Okay.
Aren't you tired?
You should tell her to pick him up now.
No, I'm not tired at all.
I'm not watching him alone.
She says something happened to her brother's marriage.
Really?
I thought he wasn't seeing anyone.
That's what I thought.
Did he do something while drunk?
No way.
You always need to be careful of men. Especially when they're drunk.
There are so many sexual harassment cases regardless of one's position.
I don't know what's wrong with them.
You still don't know after all these years?
Men are like animals.
Songjun asked me,
and it was only a matter of time for Sonji's mom to come find her.
I wanted Hyogyong to be strong just in case,
but Sonji came in without ringing the bell and heard.
Did she say something harsh?
She said we were over as friends.
She said there's no need to be nice to anyone anymore.
I understand Sonji. Even if I were her...
I told Muom to stay out of this.
We're the third party anyway, we're not involved.
Yes, okay.
Yoo Raeka just called.
She wants to meet the writer personally.
She wants to find out more about the Lee Kangso character as well.
Really?
I guess she really liked the script.
Ask her if she has time tomorrow.
Should I contact her?
No, I'll text her.
You're not going to ask Writer Jung first?
I don't need to ask him. He's meeting Yoo Raeka.
If she says yes, then let's have a party.
We have two scripts, so we're having a party to wish our drama the best of luck.
Okay.
Are you that happy?
When you hear back from Yoo Raeka, ask the director to join us.
Okay.
She showed interest in this.
You are here.
Writer Jung, you look dashing today.
Do you have a meeting?
No.
She just texted me back.
She has time tomorrow.
Reserve a restaurant.
Ask the director if he can join us.
Okay.
Where should we do it?
Ah, the Aria Restaurant at Namsan has a VIP room.
Make a reservation under my name.
Yes!
How many people in total?
I'm invited too, right?
Of course. The staff, Jo Jia, Yoo Raeka...
7 people in total!
Ask the restaurant to prepare a simple party.
All right.
Tomorrow, we meet Yoo Raeka.
You want me to meet her, too?
Of course!
Why?
I already know what she looks like.
You have to meet her in person.
It'll give you a better idea of her image if you meet her.
Yoo Raeka wanted to meet the writer.
Do I need to show her my face if she wants to know what I look like?
That's the right attitude for the actress.
She wants to learn more about the character from the writer.
She's not even a new face, but she's showing effort.
Did you see the second episode?
I really liked it.
Seo Eedam became a more attractive character.
Who are you thinking of as Seo Eedam?
What about you?
Who'd go well with Yoo Raeka?
I thought of Choo Youngmin.
Jinx, same here!
I thought of him, too.
See? We have so much in common.
Do you like mustard leaves kimchi?
We got some as a gift.
One of the artists from Yeosoo sent it to us.
I love that kimchi.
Good. I brought some just in case.
I'll bring some side dishes for you tomorrow.
I have nothing to give you though.
You bought me grilled pork belly yesterday.
It was only pork belly, though.
It was very good.
You guys ate grilled pork belly together?
Yes.
Without me?
Do we need you around to eat grilled pork belly?
You don't even like grilled pork belly.
I can eat it, too, you know.
I made the reservation and both the director and Jia can come.
Can you cast Choo Youngmin for me?
Sure.
You were here yesterday?
I worked here yesterday.
Why?
Just because. I just felt like working here.
You told me I could use the space and sleep here, too.
Yes, I did say that.
When will we have the third episode ready?
I wrote about half yesterday. It's going better than I thought.
It's because the beginning was good.
Let's go eat.
It's only 11.
You don't eat breakfast, though.
I had some rice cakes for breakfast.
Yes, sir, what is it?
Right now?
Yes.
Your office?
Yes.
You have to go?
Yes.
Go ahead then.
You should stay and get everything Writer Jung needs.
All right!
I don't need anything.
I'll send it to you when it's ready.
Okay.
