Producer Episode 11
Seung Chan.
Yes.
When I was alone in your room earlier...
I already know.
You do?
When I went in my room...
I noticed that the doll was placed differently.
So I suspected you knew.
Ah, I see.
I see...
You're quick to catch on because you're so meticulous.
Like your parents said, you're very smart.
Anyways... you're probably shocked as well.
I was very surprised too.
I seriously... had no idea you felt...
that way about me.
Why would you like me?
I never imagined it.
Senior.
Yes?
So...
it wasn't intentional...
but you've seen the preview, right?
Huh? About what?
For the first time in my life...
I'll gather my courage with all my strength...
to confess my feelings for you. A preview of that.
What was that?
Oh.
Oh my!
What the...
I'm sorry.
What are you sorry for?
Kissing me?
Or the fact that I almost fell?
Gosh, seriously...
This isn't going to work.
Let's go talk elsewhere.
Okay.
Hey.
If someone saw your face right now, they'd think I did something to you.
I can hear your heart beating all the way over here.
Oh... really?
What do you think?
If you were going to be this nervous and scared over this...
why did you suddenly make this move?
Okay, for now, just calm down.
Okay.
Why are you coming again?
Just talk from over there.
Why? What?
The way I see it...
It seems that you only see me as a young, sometimes cute subordinate...
that listens to you well.
From this day forward...
I believe I've created an opportunity...
for you to see me in a new light.
And how am I going to view you from now on?
I know that you and I are senior and subordinate, but...
The thing with people's relationships is...
I don't think you can classify people by the year we started working.
I want to get past all those formalities.
In order to do that, there's something I need to show you.
What?
My heart.
So, what you did just now...
Because I viewed you as a young, sometimes cute subordinate that listens well
you decided to let me know how you feel and get past all the formalities
by throwing this stone at me.
Right?
I don't know if 'stone' is the right word.
But, I guess that's the right meaning.
But, how can you throw it and get scared off?
I didn't think I had the courage
to do what I had imagined.
- Well, Seung Chan... - Yes.
Every now and then...
Rather than breaking an established relationship and starting a new one...
it can be more valuable to protect the relationship you already have.
And protecting it can be harder than you think.
Yes...
But, what if you lose out on an opportunity
while protecting that relationship?
I've tried protecting before and
lost out on an opportunity.
But, if I think back now...
I can't even remember what relationship
I was even protecting.
Receiving a confession is like...
it's like having a ball tossed to me.
What do I do with this ball now?
Do I throw it back or do I just receive it?
This can be quite difficult.
Excuse me?
It's not because I haven't received a confession in a long time.
I may have taken a break from dating lately.
But, I've had many guys say they liked me.
When was it...
Uh... who was that again?
- What are you doing still up? - Nothing much.
There's nothing to watch.
Hey, isn't the delivery service coming tomorrow? Aren't you going to bed?
I should sleep.
You know what, Joon Mo?
I have something to ask you.
Go ahead.
Do you think I...
Rather than being tough, I instead tend to overreact out of self defense?
What? What reaction?
I think it means I act tough to avoid getting hurt.
Do I do that?
My inner self is actually tender and warm
but my ego puts on a tough facade.
Due to the disequilibrium of the two, I'm experiencing loneliness.
So, I need someone who will be by my side and protect me. Is that right?
What the heck are you saying?
Are you writing a research paper?
What?
Is that what Baek Seung Chan said?
Oh my... how did you know?
Sounds just like him.
How much does he really know about you to say all that?
I know.
During that short time, he must have observed me very closely.
But, if you think about it, I think he's right.
I didn't know either, but I don't think I'm really tough.
I've been pretending to be.
Even when I first started working, there weren't very many female PD's.
I didn't want to get looked down upon by the managers.
I thought the seniors wouldn't put me on the good programs.
I thought the cast wouldn't acknowledge me as a PD either.
I fought a lot and had to be really tough.
But, you know, I was that way even when I dated.
I acted tougher because I was scared of rejection.
And I would take things the wrong way.
Yeah, you definitely do that.
Before, even when I told you to lease your place and stay here...
How could you think it was because I wanted you to cook and clean?
When I said 'I don't want you to go'
all you have to do is take my word for what it is.
You're right.
I might be lacking in confidence a bit.
Yeah, you're lacking it... a lot.
You're more than deserving of love and you're easy to love.
But, you don't think you are.
You think it's not the case.
You're wrong, Tak Ye Jin.
Whatever you think of yourself...
you're much better than that.
Hey, I have high standards.
I don't hang out with just anyone for 25 years.
Hey, cheers.
No matter where you are or who's next to you, that won't change.
So, don't forget that fact.
Mom, what are you doing?
Son. Why were you out for so long?
I just met someone.
I had some thinking to do, so I took a walk.
Can you help me put this face mask on?
That's nice.
Mom.
What is it?
When did you first see Dad as a man?
Huh?
Why? That was out of the blue.
I'm just curious.
Well, I married your father 6 months after meeting him.
Living with him now, sometimes he feels like a man.
Other times he feels like my enemy.
You said you thought of your dating years
when your heard Jung Yong Rok songs.
That's another man.
If I had married him...
would I have been happy?
If I think about it, I just don't know.
We dated and it ended with that.
So, we're only left with good memories.
- It was the road not taken? - What?
There's a poem like that.
Poem? What poem?
About a road not taken.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood...
And sorry I could not travel both.
And be one traveler, long I stood.
And looked down one
as far as I could.
To where it bent in the undergrowth.
Then took the other, as just as fair.
And having perhaps the better claim...
Because it was grassy and wanted wear
Though as for that the passing there... Had worn them really about the same
I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by
And that has made all the difference.
Excuse me.
Did you throw out those drawers?
Yes, I paid to dispose it. I put the sticker on it.
That's not the point.
You need to throw it out on Thursday. You can't throw it out today.
I'm moving out today.
That's your problem. Get rid of it immediately.
Get some common sense.
Okay, I'll...
Forget it, Joon Mo.
Okay, so I'm moving to Kyunggi-do right now.
Since Thursday is the recycle pickup day...
should I take it all the way with me and bring it back again?
That's your problem to take care of!
- What's the problem? - Sis.
Look at this. Our recycle pickup day is Thursday.
- Hello Seniors. - Hello, Mother.
What's the problem? Is there an issue?
No, it's just that I'm moving.
I was just asking this lady here
whether I should take my drawers...
and bring it back on Thursday.
Oh my, oh my! When were you that polite?
You were all ready for a fight before.
I'll take care of it.
What are you doing?
Our neighbor is moving far away
and must you make her leave on bad terms?
No, it just doesn't look good...
If you really don't want to see it, I'll put it in my house.
Is that okay?
It's all done. You don't need to worry.
Thank you.
It's nothing, Senior. Good luck with your move.
And please take good care of Seung Chan. Seniors...
- Yes, of course. - Yes.
Oh gosh!
Oh my!
Mom, what is this?
Oh, Seung Chan. This is garbage from the...
Oh, you know your senior.
I hear PD Tak Ye Jin is moving today.
She couldn't dispose this today, so I brought this here.
- Is she leaving now? - Yeah, I think so.
She won't be able to bother you now.
I fed her dinner and took care of this for her.
Son, help me with...
Son...
Joon Mo. See you again.
Yeah, drive carefully.
Sis, the car keys?
- Go. - Okay.
Should we shake hands?
What? Shake hands?
It feels like one chapter of my life has ended.
It feels different than other moves.
What's with the exaggeration?
It's just a move... a move. A change in location.
So you're not going to shake my hand?
You make me do all sorts of weird things.
Joon Mo...
What?
Because you're in my life...
I'm really happy.
I'll go now.
Go.
Go on in.
What are you doing there?
I heard Ye Jin was leaving.
I was going to say goodbye.
It's not like she's gone forever.
You can see her at work.
What are you standing there for? Aren't you going to work?
[Star Wars Pilot - 10.1]
Really, this is too much.
No kidding.
When I see you, it's like seeing a younger version of me.
Gosh no...
- Here. - Oh, thank you. I'll be going now.
Joon Mo, let's go eat.
- Forget it. - What's with you?
What's with the atmosphere here?
Is it because the ratings for the pilot were good?
Hey, get up. I'll buy lunch.
Seung Chan, you come too.
Eat, eat. Eat lots. Seung Chan, have some.
- What did you talk about with the Chief? - What?
Just before, you all were having a big laugh in his office.
I'm sure you were talking about something.
It was nothing much.
The pilot rating was two digits. How could it be nothing much?
Joon Mo, you know... I'm always on your side, right?
No, I didn't know.
You didn't know? How can you not know?
Just say it.
Honestly, 2 Days, 1 Night is an old framework.
How long are you going to hold onto something that dried up long ago?
Does the Department Chief want it gone?
No, that's not it. It wouldn't happen that fast.
It will take time for Star Wars to be slotted into a regular schedule.
If you could just cover the slot till then...
You're really too much!
The way I see it, your ratings for the next 2-3 weeks are important.
You have to show something concrete for management to not interfere.
If you guys can do well, Star Wars can go in another time slot.
Your show is not the only show that's suffering these days.
Did the lady forget about the coke I asked for?
- Seung Chan, can you go get me a coke? - Okay.
Joon Mo.
Don't be too upset and try producing something great this time.
People were talking about your preview saying that it was unique.
What's with this?
Whenever a program has poor ratings, there's something they all try.
It's known as the oxygen mask item.
Oxygen mask... that's great.
Our show needs oxygen.
I'll give you some examples.
An old show called Sponge...
When they got desperate, their go-to item was ramen.
- Ramen? - Yes, ramen.
Chicken and coke were good too, but nothing beat ramen.
Whenever ramen was onscreen, people were drawn to watch.
And if the show Vitamin is desperate and being pressured by the bosses for ratings
they would air a cancer special.
Ah...
If they run it for 5 weeks consecutively, the other shows gets scorched.
- It's just crazy... crazy. - I see.
My mom will watch anything that's helpful
about cancer prevention, doesn't matter what channel.
Of course.
And with shows like Gag Concert, if a skit is not working out...
but, they can't pull it right away and have to go for a few weeks.
They'll use Oh Na Mi.
It's known as cheating in the gag world.
It has nothing to do with the skit, but people just laugh if she comes out.
Then, for a program like ours... what would be our oxygen mask?
I am a PD after all and this is my first program.
I really don't want it to go down like this.
I'd like the ratings to go up somehow.
How do I get more people to watch this program?
I don't really know.
Even getting one person to look at me...
isn't easy.
Getting all those people to look at us...
Getting ratings...
is sort of like winning over a person's heart.
[Episode 11 - Understanding Ratings]
Hello.
Who took this down?
Who have a meeting scheduled.
We have a meeting too. We need to hold our meeting too.
I'm sorry.
What's with the order in the variety department these days?
Is it okay to take over meeting rooms without telling your seniors?
- Ji Yeon? - Yes?
Oh, Senior.
What is it? Is something wrong?
We had a canceled episode last week, so we didn't have a meeting.
But, we're back on air this week.
Hey, they say you guys are getting axed.
That hasn't been officially decided.
Saying that is a bit...
PD, we booked this room first.
They ripped down the paper.
Hey, Baek Seung Chan.
Yes, Senior.
What's this? You don't have a room? Find another place.
We have lots of regulations to discuss, so we are really busy.
We booked this room first.
There's an unwritten rule that the first to put this on the door is first to book...
- I think we should follow that rule. - Hey.
Why do you talk so much?
Just go look for another room.
- Who's your boss? - It's me.
Just leave.
I don't have the strength to fight with you.
- That's not my seat. - Yes, sir.
- Put that back up. - Okay.
When you watch games, they have things like a power index.
That's what ratings are like.
A PD with low ratings has his power index hitting rock bottom.
Once that PD's power index hits bottom, everyone below him gets hit like dominoes.
They get no respect, have trouble with casting, and lose meeting rooms.
Even when managers buy snacks, they don't give it to those PDs.
Once you get that treatment a few times, you just get malicious after a while.
Let's do a bikini episode.
Sounds good! Men can go topless.
We can get guests with the best bodies.
Should we try K-1?
Set up a rink somewhere in the middle of a tourist area.
Mixed martial arts with viewers?
- Don't you think people will watch? - I like it.
They're just throwing anything out there. They're desperate.
They really shouldn't be doing that.
Think about a restaurant that's been in the neighborhood a long time.
If they envy the new, popular next door and change their interior and menu...
and start selling things they've never sold before...
Then, all their regulars will abandon that place.
In an attempt to get new customers, they lose all their current ones.
While trying to catch a wild rabbit, you lose the one at home.
Our Sima Qian, do you have any suggestions?
If you look back on the history of 2 Days, 1 Night...
- This is good, this is good. - Okay, let's look back.
The most successful card has been...
- The friend special. - We did that one.
- Immersion. - You want to do that for an hour?
Tour of the viewers.
That was successful in the past. It went up to 40 percent.
All our ratings combined don't even make 40.
But, that takes months to prepare for.
We don't have enough time.
If you think about it from the restaurant owner's point of view...
it's not like they can sit back and do nothing.
They can't cover costs with the few regular customers they have.
At that rate, their business will close down.
I want my clothes to be more...
luxurious and high-end. I think I told you that.
There's lots of rumors, here and there. I can't wear clothes that are lacking.
Yes, we are trying.
It's CEO Byun...
What about her?
She got all the sponsors to support Ji Ni, instead.
I'm not sure if I should tell you this, but CEO Byun said this...
That she wouldn't be able to cover losses to anyone sponsoring you.
And that soon, you'd have an incident.
If sponsoring isn't going to work, then buy it with money. That'll do.
What I have to protect now is not money, but my high-end image.
Cindy!
What?
- The number one search term is... - What?
- Cindy the bum! - What?
Number three is...
Cindy the singing beggar.
[Cindy the singing beggar.]
Cindy, you know what?
I want to tread carefully, but the mood isn't too bad yet.
There are quite a few parodies of you too.
Is that good?
But, really... there are no mean comments.
- There aren't? - Yeah.
Everyone thinks it's so funny. They think it totally suits you.
- Manager... - Yeah?
That is the mean comment.
Honestly, this is all because of that Umbrella PD.
He asked you to do a strange thing. I told you we shouldn't do it.
You're right. I should've listened to you.
Ah... that. I should've done it your way.
Right?
This won't do. I'm getting more and more angry.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
I have time now, right?
I'm just so angry now. I don't even know what to say.
If you have time, why don't you see me briefly?
Yes, I have time now. Where should I see you?
- Manager, go now! Yeouido. - Oh, okay.
I'm going to meet him in person and talk about it.
Why would he get me to do such a thing?
I am so angry.
This way... can you put it by the window?
Thank you.
Sis, my professor's looking for me. I have to go to school.
Yeah, go ahead. I'm just waiting for the delivery truck.
Will you be okay alone?
There's not that much stuff. Just go.
There's something not right here.
I'm leaving my sister behind...
But, I feel more like I'm leaving my older brother.
I said, just go. Go on and study. Go, go...
Hello?
I called you before.
The moving truck hasn't arrived yet.
What, it hasn't yet?
But, they said it left already.
Okay, please try to hurry.
Cindy, should I argue your points on your behalf?
Forget it. You know how I get when I'm mad, right?
You're really scary.
I've had it up to here and I really can't cope right now.
Oh, okay.
This dressing room's empty, right?
I'll be in here.
Tell PD Baek Seung Chan to come in when he gets here.
I don't know what I might do in there.
So, make sure no one comes inside.
Don't worry about that.
I'll guard the door and make sure no one gets inside.
Yes!
PD. Our Cindy is really, really mad right now.
Oh, is that right?
You better prepare yourself.
So, you can kill a person with words...
So, this is what you call a venomous remark...
You... will feel all of this.
What are you going to do about this?
Cindy the bum, Cindy the beggar, Cindy the singing beggar...
Everyone's going nuts.
Yes, I saw that at the office.
I was really surprised.
I really didn't expect this to happen.
Is that all you can say?
What did you say when you came to me with this?
A shining star from the sky shedding her mystique or what not...
But, I think it's...
cute.
I understand you're very angry.
But, rather than an image of being distant from the masses...
being closer and familiar could be...
Oh... like Cindy the bum.
Cindy the singing beggar?
But... uh...
The way people are talking about it...
I see why you could feel taken aback and upset.
But, I don't think they're really saying you're actually like a bum and dirty.
If not, then...
What if you took this on as like a sort of character?
The result of that being, your image is... cute.
Well... what else?
Someone you want to keep close.
Someone you want to keep close...
So...
Someone you want to see every day.
Someone you want to see every day...
Like the...
determining factor in what makes her so lovable.
Being Cindy the bum?
See look! You can't even answer me.
How are going to take responsibility of me?
- Excuse me? - Why are you so startled?
I told you from the start.
I'm only doing this show because of you.
Now, you've ruined me like this and you won't take responsibility?
I really don't think you're... ruined.
Look here...
Once you have an image set in a variety show, it lasts a long time.
Once you've been determined an idiot, you have to pretend not to know basic math.
Once people label you rude...
even when you're in a good mood, you have to go on TV and be rude.
Once you're labeled a pig, you always have to go on TV and eat.
That's somewhat true.
That's why your first character is so important.
Mine is being a bum.
No matter where I go on...
do I have to beg and be pathetic?
Wow, I'd be really sorry if I were you.
I'm sorry.
Right? You are sorry, aren't you?
Yes.
Then... I'll think about it.
What to do to make it so that you can no longer be sorry to me...
But... it really is true that this character is cute.
You should wait.
Once I think of something, I'll let you know.
Okay.
There should be some loud noise by now.
She should have cursed at him by now.
Did he faint from fear?
You should go.
See you at the shoot.
Yes... okay.
What?
- Cindy? - What?
What is it? What!
If you called my name, say something.
Nothing.
When I was in Spain...
people there use far less paper.
- Oh really? - You know reusable paper?
Yes.
They use reusable paper and they also use the eraser a lot.
- This is sweet. - It's really delicious.
[Hong Soon]
What was that?
- Is it good? - Yes, it is.
Go Yang Mi, I must talk to you now.
Please contact me. I'll be waiting.
This girl just doesn't pick up.
Did her move go well or not?
Gosh.
I'm just the driver.
If you needed someone to move it, you should've hired more people.
You're saying something different than before.
I was told they would move my stuff.
I don't know anything. Talk to the office. I'm going.
The office isn't getting the phone right now.
And you were supposed to arrive this morning, not now.
If you needed movers, you should've hired more people. Okay?
Oh... so are you trying to get additional money from me, right now?
I'm sorry, how much more... Hey!
Senior, I'll add this to the rest you owe me.
I told you not to come. Why did you come here?
But, still... thanks for coming.
What would I have done if you hadn't come?
I'll go down and get the rest of the sofa pads.
No, no. I'll go with you. They're heavy.
Oh, who is that?
Ah, I ordered steamed rice cake.
What?
To give to all your neighbors.
Wow, you're really something.
Hey... hurry up and open the door.
Man, this is heavy. Here.
Senior...
I told you to do research. What are you doing here?
I'm going to do it. After helping here, I'll do it all night.
Didn't you say you were going to meet managers in Gangnam?
I'm going to meet them. I'm having dinner here and I'll go.
I told you both not to come. You guys sure don't listen.
I'll make sure you both regret coming today.
Let's hurry and unpack.
I'm really hungry. Let's finish up and eat dinner.
Hey, give me the scissors.
Seung Chan, this is for the balcony door, right?
Yes, ding dong deng.
Ding dong deng?
There's nothing better than using newspapers.
Hey, be careful!
Go this way before you come in. Back up a little bit.
Yeah, like that.
That hurt! Seriously!
Are you okay?
You did that on purpose, didn't you?
No, I didn't.
By the way, I was going to buy something on my way here
but there's no grocery store around here.
This area is fairly new, so all the stores are empty.
I have to go out to a different neighborhood if I want to buy something.
Isn't it dangerous at night?
What's dangerous?
Ye Jin, all you have to do is walk in a brightly lit area.
Then there's no need for you to be in danger.
Seriously. Hey.
The lamp post is not working so, people might not be able to see my face.
Now that might be a little dangerous.
I swear!
Shouldn't we file a complaint about that to the neighborhood office?
- I should. - Hurry up and do that.
It's dangerous if you can't be seen. Your face needs to be shown.
Do you want to die? Huh? No, don't eat it!
You came empty-handed, didn't you?
It's going to take you forever to get back.
It's fine. There's no traffic so I'll get home in no time.
Joon Mo, Seung Chan didn't bring his car. Give him a ride home.
I have to go to Gangnam.
I'm okay, I'll just take the bus home.
Oh yeah? Okay then.
Go home safely and thanks for helping me out.
- See you. - Bye.
Hey, get in.
No, that's okay. You said you were going to Gangnam...
I'm not going anymore. Get in.
- Is it because of me? - Are you crazy?
I'm just tired so I decided not to go.
Are you getting in or not? If you're not then I'm just going to go.
Hey, Ye Bal.
Nail clippers? That's the only one I have. Just go out and buy one.
I need to clip my nails too.
Yeah, just go out and buy one.
Oh yeah, that's true. You keep it. Bye.
To me...
Senior Ye Jin is like an epic program.
What?
Even if you gather all the ratings from the previous seasons....
you can't reach it.
No matter how hard you try, you can't obtain it.
She's like a rating you can only dream of.
Senior Ye Jin.
I sincerely...
envy you.
This is Cindy the singing beggar.
Please watch me on the 2D1N show.
[One week later]
[Star Wars: 6.9 percent] [2D1N: 6.2 percent]
- Hello. - Hey.
- Hello. - Hello.
- Producer, hello! - Hello.
- Hello! - Hello.
- How may I help you? - Please take good care of us!
No, I should be asking you that.
- I'd love to treat you to a meal. - Oh that's not necessary.
- Do you have time now? Let's go. - No, that's okay.
Il Yong, Hyung Geun, Baek Seung Chan, let's go.
It's not every day the Chief offers to take you out to eat.
- Hello, sir. - Hey.
Joon Mo, do you want to come with us?
Where?
The Chief said he would like to take us out to eat.
Yeah Joon Mo, come with us.
Joon Mo doesn't like flour foods.
We're going to a burger joint in Hongdae.
- Chief. - Yeah?
- Are you leaving now? - Yeah, let's go.
They're making their move.
A lot of man power is needed in order to launch a new program.
They're trying to steal my staff from me, I guess.
Not to mention it's a chance for the new PD to get closer to them.
It's a bit inhumane, but it's a necessary evil.
To the kids... it might be a good thing.
I get indigestion if I eat flour foods.
Go ahead and go.
- Okay, let's go then. - Yes, sir.
We'll be back.
I'm sorry, but I don't really like flour foods either.
Enjoy your meal.
Hey... you should be eating that nice burger right now.
It's too bad you have to eat this.
It's okay.
Why... won't they watch it?
No kidding. Why do you think the regular viewers also left?
I really don't know.
I wish someone would just tell me straight to my face.
Why isn't it me?
Why is it okay for someone else to be successful but not me?
Maybe it's because the preview I made was really bad.
Like you said earlier... did we get screwed because of the preview?
What am I going to do with you? You are completely cocky.
You and I are at different level right now.
Where do you get off trying to share the weight
of carrying the viewers on your shoulders?
Yes, but I'm also a producer of this program.
A producer? You're more like a puppy.
Of course, I'm wet behind the ears.
But I think I went through all sorts of...
Hey.
This is a special privilege that only the main producer has.
The glory, honor, shame, and humiliation all belongs to the main producer!
How dare you try to take my disgrace from me.
Want a french fry?
I really... don't know!
Seriously.
Just set it there.
What?
Isn't that for me?
That... present.
No.
Then who is it for?
It's for PD Ye Jin.
Did she go somewhere?
Yes. She went to see the stage.
Please tell PD Ye Jin I was here
and tell her that present is for her.
Okay, I got it.
I swear, Baek Seung Chan... You're so thoughtful.
Senior, the leftover debt... can you pay it in full tonight?
Is it a love triangle?
What?
Your dark circles have gotten worse.
I was wondering if that's what you've been worrying about lately.
Hey, Da Jung... I heard you're pretty knowledgeable when it comes to dating.
Yes.
Wow, you just said yes without any hesitation.
How many guys have you dated?
I don't know, I haven't kept track.
So, you're like a rich person who doesn't know
how much money you have in your account.
Want to grab a cup of coffee with me?
So...
there's a man you've been seeing for over 20 years...
Da Jung... this is about my friend, not me.
Same difference. Just get to the point.
Sure.
So...
There's a male friend you've liked for over 20 years.
But a new face has appeared.
A very charming one at that.
Well, to make a long story short...
You have two solutions.
You don't beat around the bush, do you?
Number one... just date both of them. Have your cake and eat it to.
You can't cheat if you're married.
Okay, what's the second solution?
Let go of the one you feel most sorry towards.
If you feel sorry...
you won't be able to date him.
Yes, I understand. Bye.
Cindy, CEO Byun is at your place.
Why is she in my home when I'm not there?
CEO Byun is in my house?
She has the master key.
Why? Why is she there?
She said she's there with some reporter.
I can do that.
What are you trying to do right now?
Reporter Min, I'm sorry.
I've spoiled her too much. Please excuse her rude behavior.
Cindy, say hello to the reporter first.
Reporter Min.
I know you get exclusive stories about me because you're close to our CEO.
If you come inside my place without my permission waiting for me...
It's a bit disconcerting.
What's going on?
It's just... it's just an interview, that's all.
This late at night? All of a sudden?
You're done promoting your album now.
It's not like we can go around and tell everyone.
We're doing a goodbye interview with Reporter Min.
I figured it would be better to do it here than somewhere outside.
Don't get upset and sit down.
Cindy, will you be going on vacation
after you take a break from your activities?
I'm not sure.
I would like to do that if I have the time.
If you do go on vacation, where do you usually go?
By any chance... will you be going to the States where your parents are?
Cindy.
You know what a star is, right?
People yearn to be a star.
But if people find out that your parents passed away and you're all alone...
Instead of aspiring to be like you, they're going to pity you.
That... doesn't a suit a star's character.
Your parents are living in the States.
You've been raised with their unconditional love and support.
You're a shining star on the stage.
Do you understand?
From your previous interview...
You said your parents live in a huge house with a swimming pool in Beverly Hills.
- Just a moment... - For your vacation...
If you visit your parents, do you have any intentions of showing their place at all?
It's never been shown to the pubic.
Since we're on the topic, I'm going to ask you a few more questions.
Your father is a famous professor at an Ivy League college.
It's been revealed that your mother is also a musician.
We've done some research...
and there's no record of your father being an Ivy League professor.
And no one in the Korean community has heard of your mother's name before.
Can you explain what's going on here?
We found out this truth from Cindy.
Cindy's parents are quite amazing.
Her father is a renowned biomedical engineer professor
at an Ivy League college.
Her mother majored in classical music.
She's currently teaching at a music academy.
I think our Cindy... took after her mother.
I'm sure there's a mistake. Please look into it again.
Of course I've never been to her parent's house in the States.
Our Cindy has been talking about them since she was 14 years old.
I'm sure everything she said is true.
This is her parents we're talking about.
She thinks so highly of then.
Then, have you ever met Cindy's parents?
Excuse me?
I've never met them before.
I've only heard about them from Cindy.
- CEO Byun. - What?
What are you trying to do right now?
Cindy, there's no need to be surprised.
Just tell Reporter Min the truth.
What are you afraid of? There's nothing to hide.
Cindy, what's wrong?
If you have anything to say in regards to this subject then please do so.
Please turn off the camera.
I said...
turn off the camera.
Why?
Is it something you can't say in front of the camera?
My parents...
are not residing in the States.
Excuse me?
They're not anywhere.
They passed away when I was a little girl.
My family...
doesn't live in a huge house in Beverly Hills.
My deceased parents
were never a famous college professor or a classical musician.
My family...
They lived in Chunchun.
It was very small...
and warm.
My parents...
were not rich...
but they were loving and honest people.
But...
the reason why I lied like that...
When I was 14 years old, the CEO of our agency...
That's enough.
It seems she's gotten too emotional.
Ah sure. Turn off the camera.
This is a sensitive area
and we didn't expect her to go this far.
Grasping the truth is important for now.
Reporter Min, go easy on her.
If the public finds out that you've lied about your background...
They will never forgive you.
Saying that you lied won't be the end of it.
2 Days, 1 Night!
[Byun Entertainment Manager Kim]
Hello, Manager Kim. What's going on?
Producer, I'm sorry for calling you so late in the evening.
I have to tell you something.
Sure, go ahead.
Are you aware that I've been Yuna's road manager for three years?
After she disappeared like that...
You're not the only one who took it hard.
It was difficult for me too.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
[Umbrella]
The phone is turned off. Please leave a message after the beep.
Do it one more time.
Isn't this a bit too much? Lobster? Seriously?
This is the interest.
The interest is stronger than the principal.
Are you a loan shark?
Hey, this won't do. Give me the ledger.
I didn't keep track of the money because I trusted you. I need to check it.
I'm pretty sure I paid everything in full.
I feel like you're ripping me off right now.
I should've paid you all at once instead of installments.
Something strange is going on here.
Seung Chan, dig in.
I will.
It's done and paid for. I don't owe you anymore money.
Yes.
What's with look on your face?
Because I'm happy and sad.
What are you happy about?
I've always wanted to go out on a date with you.
I'm happy we got a chance to do that.
What's the sad part?
I'm sad that I don't have any excuses to be with you now.
Seung Chan.
You really are a great guy.
You're so nice, warm, and wonderful.
I feel so bad. What do I do?
When you...
look at me like that...
I feel so bad.
Seung Chan.
Thank you...
for having the courage to confess your feelings to me.
Thank you for showing me your heart.
I'm so lucky to have a wonderful guy like you pursue me.
I felt like I was person of great value.
Thank you so much.
I'm going to head home from here.
Bye.
It can change.
First you feel sorry...
then you feel thankful.
Later on...
it could just happen.
My feelings for you.
The way I look at you.
It can all... become natural.
So, me being next to you...
could naturally happen.
Shouldn't you...
give me some time too?
Come tomorrow morning, I'll probably live a different life than I am right now.
[Cindy's Secret Birth!]
Remember what you said?
Wherever there is success, hardship and sacrifice follows.
In order for me to gain a new world...
I have to slowly break out of my shell.
That's what I'm thinking of doing.
- This is unbelievable. - No kidding. I never saw her that way.
What's going on?
Have you seen this?
[Cindy's Secret Birth]
I won't be able to see you for the time being, so I'm saying goodbye.
- Cindy. - Manager.
I probably won't have anything on my schedule for the time being.
Manager... go on vacation.
You couldn't take time off because of me.
Sure.
Thanks.
Look, Cindy...
What... did I tell you? Huh?
I said let's give in just this once!
Was it that hard to do?
You know what? I...
I grovel at least 12 times a day!
Would it have killed you to do that at least once?
Look at you right now!
Senior, have you seen the article about Cindy?
And if I have?
I gave her something a long time ago.
Cindy told me that her parents passed away from an accident.
She said she has severe insomnia because of the guilt.
There's no way she would've willingly lied about that.
- That's what I think too. - Then...
Even so... what could I possibly do?
Go inside and prepare the meeting.
Cindy is a part of our cast
but we might have to find a substitute.
What? Why?
You think Cindy did nothing wrong, so why?
The way I see it, CEO Byun was behind this.
Why do we have to do that? We're the producers.
It's not because of that! Come on, Tae Ho!
We're the producers!
She's done nothing wrong! Are we just going to stand back and let her fall?
Do you think we can make all the decisions because we're producers?
The people don't like her and they don't want to see her on TV.
The producers have no power if the viewers turn their backs on you.
Do you think we can make all the decisions because we're producers?
The producers have no power if the viewers turn their backs on you.
You said this to me before.
A good intention can't produce a good outcome.
So you shouldn't recklessly get involved.
Let's say we did give it a shot but the outcome was bad.
She would know that we tried at least.
That our intentions were good and that we wanted to produce a good outcome.
Don't you think... that would be a huge comfort to her?
What do you know to say something like that?
The response is really bad.
I don't think it's going to settle down anytime soon.
The call center is being flooded with phone calls.
I've never seen so many comments posted on our bulletin board like this.
We're the only regular program Cindy took on.
They're criticizing us like crazy.
Joon Mo, the Chief wants to see you.
Man, I thought we had a star on our show but she was a bad apple all along.
First, let's make a public announcement that we're dismissing her from the show.
We might get stoned if we think too long about this.
Of course, the viewers are outraged right now.
If we don't want to be boycotted, we need to let go of her immediately.
I'll talk to CEO Byun. In the meantime, let's say she stepped down voluntarily.
CEO Byun already came to apologize.
She said she'll give us Ji Ni to replace Cindy.
I heard she's popular lately. We'll go with her this week.
Tae Ho.
- You remember Yuna, right? - She's old news!
I recently found out about her.
Are you aware I was her road manager for three years?
After she disappeared like that, you're not the only one who took it hard.
What's wrong? Did something happen?
Producer, I finally found Yuna.
Surprisingly... she was living very well.
She looked much happier and peaceful than before.
That's great. I'm glad to hear she's doing well.
- Don't feel guilty any longer... - Chief.
Tae Ho.
I'm sorry...
- but I can't do it this time. - About what?
It's my set and my cast.
I'll take care of it on my own.
You can't even take care of yourself. Why are you trying get involved?
Ra Joon Mo, don't you get it?
You might end up taking the fall if you get in between Cindy and CEO Byun.
I'll take the fall and I'll roam around until I'm back on my feet again.
That's my final decision. I'm sorry.
Why is he so determined like that? It's useless!
Just let him be.
There's already a show prepared to take his place.
In any case, his show is going to be canceled.
At the longest, it'll be a week or two.
[Go Yang Mi, we need to talk. Please call me. I'll be waiting.]
Hello?
Hey, I have money!
[The Viewers' Understanding]
[It can't always be gained even if you make an effort, but you still have to try.]
Shouldn't we file a complaint for that at the neighborhood office?
Cindy.
What are you doing? We have to go and record the next episode.
Here.
You have to drink this.
I'm the person who called yesterday.
The light's still not working on that lamp post.
Yes.
No, I saw it.
The light's still not coming on.
What's taking so long?
You finally know who I am now.
I will camp out in front of the office if I have to.
Hello? He...
What the heck? Oh I don't think so.
Did you just hang up on me?
I think you and I need to talk face to face.
That area is too dark to walk at night! It's dangerous!
When?
Today?
I'm going to check and see.
