(Episode 24)
You came because of this hair pin right?
Oh my hair pin!
How does...
Mr. Nam have that...
hair pin?
It must be precious to you, you look really happy.
I was really upset when I thought I had lost it.
I'm so happy I found it.
Thank you.
I see.
Well anyways...
I'm glad it was returned to you.
How does In-kyung...
and Mr. Nam know one another?
They looked like they were close to one another.
What are you thinking about all by yourself like that?
Mr. Nam!
Why...
are you so surprised?
Did I accidentally scare you?
No.
I was wondering...
if you knew...
Kang In-kyung?
-Excuse me? -I went to Baekdu Movie Productions...
and saw you two together.
Oh you did.
Awhile back, the bus Kang In-kyung was assisting and my car...
got into a fender bender.
A fender bender?
Oh that was your car Mr. Nam?
But I thought that happened a long time ago.
That's right.
To be honest, when you were arrested...
Kang In-kyung...
came to see me.
In-kyung went to go see you?
Yes.
She thought I had something to do with you being arrested.
She was mistaken.
Is that so?
Did you think about...
my offer to you?
That's the reason why...
I went to go see you before.
I'll give you my answer after I think about it awhile longer.
How can you do this?
How can you take everyone in the company and make a new one?
Out of everyone, how could you do this to Min-woo?
Min-woo...
won't be able to direct a play in his condition.
He's not the same person!
You're not the same person!
Let's say Min-woo did change a little bit...
you would've been the first person to wait by his side until he got better.
But it's like you waited for this opportunity!
Like I waited for this?
-Nam Hee-ae! -Fine then!
You're going to regret this...
one of these days.
Nope!
Seeing how you're acting...
I know I made the right decision.
I'm sure I won't regret this decision.
Oh goodness!
You found your hair pin!
Yep. I found it a little while ago.
Geez, you were looking everywhere in this house. Where did you find it?
Oh I lost it somewhere...
and someone found it for me.
Who?
Who found that small thing and returned it to you?
Mr. Nam found it for me.
The Mr. Nam from Baekdu Movie Productions?
What were you doing with him that you could've dropped your hair pin?
What?
That's...
Stop it! Thank goodness you found it.
Stop asking her so many questions.
I don't know what happened, but...
don't tell your boyfriend Cha Min-woo that you got your hair pin back from Mr. Nam.
Why?
Why can't I tell him?
Hey hey!
Males are strange animals...
when they hear about another guy in that kind of situation...
they instinctively get mad.
They really despise hearing stuff like that.
Do you think...
Min-woo will react the same way?
Kim Yoon-suk...
you packed up all your stuff and left huh?
So you're telling me...
you don't even want to look at me?
Min-woo?
I don't think it's necessary...
to wait until tomorrow.
-Excuse me? -I'll be joining...
Baekdu Movie Productions.
You finally made a decision.
You made the right choice.
Thank you.
Whoa Hee-ae!
Don't you ever knock?
Min-woo!
I'm so happy! You made the right decision.
Alright alright. Let's talk after you let go.
I was so worried after what Yoon-suk did to you.
Do you like your office?
It's nice.
I asked my brother to pay special attention to your office.
Thanks.
But...
I don't see Mr. Nam anywhere today.
He said he was going out to the theater.
Do you want a tour of our theater as well?
Maybe another time.
I have...
one last thing I need to take care of.
Lastly...
Cha Min-woo's former theater company...
all joined Sechang's Theater Company.
Cha Min-woo is the only one who joined our Baekdu Movie Productions?
Ms. Choi...
precisely observe all of Cha Min-woo's movements...
and report every detail back to me.
Yes, I understand.
Cha Min-woo...
will you become our enemy or our destiny?
I'll wait and see.
What is it you want to say to me?
I saw you packed everything up and left.
What is the reason you'd go this far to stab me in the back?
I have the right to know.
You know someone asked me...
how long I was going to overshadowed by you and never see sunlight.
And you've been different ever since you came back from jail!
Stop talking about that!
You're the one who betrayed me. You're the who changed.
See? Again!
You only hear what you want to hear.
Fine. I was sick and tired of your self-righteousness!
I'm glad we met today.
I want to thank you...
for helping get rid of the last inkling of respect...
I once had for you.
Something...
has come up.
What's going on?
I don't think...
I'll be able to...
make a play.
I'm actually...
coming back from Baekdu Movie Productions.
I decided to make...
my play into a movie first.
Excuse me?
Yoon-suk and the other guys...
said they couldn't trust me any longer.
They don't believe I can accomplish anything right now.
How could they do such a...
It's all been said and done.
No matter what I say, they've already...
Let's stop talking about it.
It's done and over with.
But I thought you wanted to make it into a play.
You said this stage was your dream.
It's not as if my dream has changed.
I just...
changed around the order. For the benefit of my playwright.
I just thought...
Why can't you understand?
I tried everything I could.
What?
Are you upset because...
you can't star in the play?
Min-woo...
how could you say that?
Looks like...
you have your hair pin today.
Oh yeah. I found it.
I was so worried I might have lost it.
-But Mr. Nam... -Don't tell your boyfriend Min-woo...
that Mr. Nam was the one who found it for you.
I found it at home.
At home?
I have tickets! One fro $.20 cents two for $.30 cents.
Excuse me...
do you have any tickets?
One fro $.20 cents two for $.30 cents.
How about you hand over two for me?
Look at what we have here!
You've been caught red-handed!
Ouch ouch! Who are you? Hey!
Isn't that...
Sir please stay still. You don't want to hurt yourself.
You're so young, I didn't think you'd be of any use. But you're good!
Good job today.
When you're selling tickets...
It's common sense to make sure there aren't any scalpers.
It's also a way for me to replay my gratitude for you hiring me.
I'll be expecting more from you in the future.
Don't you worry Mr. Nam.
From now on, Kang Han-soo will keep Baekdu Theaters secured.
Sounds good.
Thank you.
Whoa! That's right! He walks like he's the boss!
This isn't cutting it!
I have to start walking with like Mr. Nam.
The more I see Mr. Nam, the more admirable he is.
But you know...
Why did your boyfriend Min-woo...
take such important matters into his own hands...
and tell you so late?
He already began work at Baekdu Movie Productions too!
This isn't a discussion, but an order.
He said things happened really quickly.
He was too busy to tell me.
Something fishy is going on here and it's really starting to irritate me.
What you're saying is he didn't bother to...
discuss these important matter with his girlfriend...
and made all the decisions by himself!
This is a very bad omen.
What's wrong with you again?
Think about it Keum-soon!
Never mind.
Let me ask you something Mr. Huh.
Let's pretend you decided...
to quit being a bus driver and decided to become a taxi driver.
If you did, would you discuss it Keum-soon or not?
What are you talking about?
Of course I would...
discuss it with Keum-soon before doing anything.
As for me...
I'll driver whatever Keum-soon tells me to drive.
See what I'm saying?
It's a little too lovey dovey for everyone else...
but this is normal.
Well Min-woo said...
he had to make a rapid decision to work at Baekdu...
and he was really busy.
Cha Min-woo is working for Baekdu Movie Productions now?
Look here...
this is getting interesting.
What?
That bastard Cha Min-woo?
Why that little fool.
I warned him as nicely as possible,
but you're telling me he still went to Baekdu Movie Productions?
Well he's a lot...
tougher than he looks.
Yes he is.
I think he came to the conclusion that...
he can't do it alone and he needs help.
Now that he's taken Cha Min-woo...
Nam Jung-ho will immediately start making the movie version.
Of course I won't let him.
Byun Geun-tae...
you're keeping a close eye on Kang In-kyung right?
Of course sir.
We can't let her go her merry way...
when she was so unpleasant with you sir.
Geun-tae...
it looks like you're finally understanding the human language, huh?
Yes sir.
Min-woo is awfully late tonight.
He didn't discuss any important matters with his girlfriend...
and he made all his decisions by himself.
That's a really bad omen.
I should've never lied...
about the hair pin either.
That's right...
I just need to tell him the truth about everything tonight.
Excuse me Yoon-suk.
Oh In-kyung.
Are you waiting for Min-woo?
Yes.
I see.
I just came to get something I forgot here.
Is there...
any possibility of...
returning things to normal?
About Min-woo's play.
No.
I don't think it's possible.
The tea's fragrance is nice.
It's been a long time since I've seen Hee-ae smile like that.
Yes it has.
Jung-ho...
it was a really hard decision for Min-woo to come into our movie business.
Don't we need to throw him a welcome party?
Is the reason you're so happy is because of that Cha Min-woo?
I was already thinking about it.
I was thinking of introducing him to our movie production company...
and planning a small dinner together. What do you think?
No way!
That party...
isn't to welcome Cha Min-woo to our company.
It's to show we clearly own the original play rights,
and to show Baekdu Movie Productions has began...
its upcoming movie "Youth".
The grand soiree will exemplify our Mr. Nam's position as CEO...
is stronger than ever!
Let's invite all of the officials in Choongmoo-ro...
and open up a grand welcoming party!
What is it? What is it?
A welcoming?
Then we're going to have a party?
Are you that happy?
Did you hear?
I'm going to star in a movie again.
What a relief.
What...
are you going to wear to the party tomorrow?
We can't show up in the same dress.
Which beauty salon are you going to use?
Don't go to Lara Beauty Salon.
I'm going to go there.
Even if we go to the same salon, it'll seem like we went to different places.
What's that supposed to mean?
No matter how hard you try to emulate me...
you'll never be like me.
We were from...
different classes from the day we were born.
What in the hell. You're such a... Hey!
Geez! Really?
She always leaves after she says what she wants to.
How was the movie company?
Well, I'm not too sure yet.
But I don't think it's better than I thought.
Really?
That's great to hear!
But...
it looks like you had a lot of work today.
You look very tired.
A bit.
About this afternoon...
I was a bit irritable. I'm sorry.
Oh, before you came...
I met Yoon-suk in front of your house.
You saw Yoon-suk?
Yes.
I asked him about the play...
but he looked like he had his mind set.
Um Min-woo...
about this hair pin.
Why are you like that In-kyung?
-Excuse me? -Did you beg Yoon-suk?
Why would you ask that to Yoon-suk?
Did you ask for a favor? Or did you beg him?
That's not it Min-woo.
I just...
Do you think when you do things like that, it's for my benefit?
In actuality, you're stepping on my pride!
Damn it!
Min-woo?
I'm sorry.
I must...
I must've been really tired.
I'm sorry too.
I didn't have those intentions when I was talking with Yoon-suk.
It's...
getting late.
Let's go. I'll take you.
You know what Min-woo?
Do you have some time...
tomorrow night?
It feels like...
we haven't...
had a proper conversation these days.
Tomorrow...
night?
I have work tomorrow night.
I'll make sure...
I make some time for us next time.
Alright?
Let's go for now.
You're home In-kyung!
The potatoes are delicious! Want some?
No...
I'm good Han-soo.
My goodness, look at that damned girl.
She doesn't even greet her mom anymore after work.
Hey! Kang In-kyung!
Is there something wrong with In-kyung? She looks like she's out of strength.
Oh no you don't. You're a grown man now.
You can't just walk into a girl's room in the middle of the night!
My goodness can't you keep it down?
Mrs. Kang!
Why don't you look at your daughter's face before you start yelling at her!
What about her face?
Her face has no wrinkles since she's young.
Damn it!
I'm letting this go because I'm a nice step-mother. Right Han-soo?
Are you crazy?
Oh my, what's wrong with you?
Come here.
Are you okay now? Huh?
(Sechang)
What? A welcoming party for Cha Min-woo?
Yes.
It looks like they're going to formally introduce Cha Min-woo tonight.
They invited directors, investors and actors.
I think it'll be a big party.
Damn that Cha Min-woo.
Hey Byun Geun-tae!
There's going to be a great party tonight.
Does it make sense honored guests like us won't be there?
I don't think it's right sir.
I thought so.
You damned old fogie Nam Tae-jun...
you want to play like this huh?
Aren't you going to the beauty salon?
You were talking all night about what you were going to wear tonight.
What are you still doing here?
The beauty salon isn't the most important thing right now.
This would be the place...
to totally humiliate Lee Suh-yeon.
What are you talking about?
Oh that's right!
That girl! That girl!
What the hell is wrong with you?
During times like this, I really think I'm a genius!
President Nam...
I have a lot of places to stop by...
so I'll see you at the party tonight.
Look here. Wait a minute. Hey!
Look at this mess!
Isn't that Yoon Mi-hee?
It's Yoon Mi-hee right?
Top actresses look different.
What's this?
I'm the manager of this place.
Miss Yoon Mi-hee...
I'm a total fan of yours!
You know the movie you starred in, "A Woman's Life"?
It was really shocking and totally unprecedented!
Shall I call it a literary masterpiece?
But you know...
I don't give out autographs to just anybody.
Oh you don't.
Of course you shouldn't.
Maybe a cup of tea then?
Hello In-kyung!
Oh hello there.
What brings you here?
How do the two of them know each other?
You didn't forget about our promise last time did you?
You promised to run errands for me instead of helping Jung-ho.
Let's go. We have somewhere to go.
Right now?
I'm still on the clock right now.
Will it be okay for Kang In-kyung to take off for the day?
Of course!
Go ahead! Take the day off! Go ahead now.
Then...
let me just change my clothes.
Oh no no no.
You look fine the way you are.
She looks so raggity, it's just perfect!
-Excuse me? -What?
No, it's nothing.
Let's go.
It was an honor!
(Seoul International Hotel)
(Welcoming Party for Original Playwright Cha Min-woo)
Father. This is Cha Min-woo.
We meet again.
My name is Cha Min-woo.
That's right.
It was under pretty bad conditions the last time we met.
We might have started off bad...
but it could turn for the better or stay the same.
That would all depend on you.
Daddy...
this is his welcoming party.
Why are you pressuring him as soon as you see him?
Oh did I?
Then I'll be seeing you around Cha Min-woo.
Hey there Mr. Park!
Hello!
It's good to see you.
Director Oh!
This is...
our original playwright and fellow colleague...
Cha Min-woo.
And this is...
our director for "Youth"...
Director Oh Man-dong.
The pleasure is all mine. My name is Cha Min-woo.
It's nice to meet you.
Here here!
We have finally become one family with writer Cha Min-woo.
This calls for a toast!
To Baekdu Movie Production's...
new rising sun...
Cha Min-woo and...
"Youth" the movie!
-Here here! -Here here!
Should I leave now?
Suh-yeon should be there by now as well.
To come face-to-face with Jung-ho's mistress...
and to watch Lee Suh-yeon's expression!
I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
I'm all ready, let's go now.
Excuse me...
but do I really need to go?
What kind of favor are you...
You'll know when you get there.
Let's hurry and go.
The wine is nice tonight.
You're a member of the board...
don't you need to go in there?
You do?
Then...
you want to go in lovingly in each other's arms?
Excuse me?
You look so surprised!
I like it better out here.
I can enjoy the nice breeze...
and you too.
That's right...
you carry around your profile pictures right?
-Give me one. -A picture?
Yep.
May I ask why?
What do you mean why?
Because I want to see you.
Mr. Nam!
Let's go.
This is Director Yoon Young-ho.
He was in the army with my father.
He's also one of our VVIP investors for Baekdu Movie Productions.
Oh it's nice to meet you.
My name is Cha Min-woo.
Oh I see.
I've heard a lot about you.
I knew Mr. Nam was supporting you...
but now I see it's Hee-ae who supports you even more.
You're so on Que Director Yoon.
You have to fully support our play writer Cha Min-woo from now on!
For president Nam...
my words don't hold as much gravity as Hee-ae's.
You're too funny Mr. Oh.
Our play writer Cha Min-woo...
is going to be the best writer in Choongmoo-ro.
By the way Hee-ae is talks about you...
I guess it's a matter of time before you become a hit.
Here here.
Hello! Mr. Nam!
-Hey there. -Hello sir.
How could you not send me an invitation...
when you're having such a meaningful party?
-Nice of you to come. -Oh thanks.
I'm disappointed in you as well Mr. Nam!
I saw you were busy with other agendas...
so I didn't call you.
No matter how busy I am...
I should cancel everything and run to this celebration.
Why are you here if you didn't get an invitation?
What do you mean why? I came to congratulate you.
But where is tonight's guest of honor?
Oh I see him coming this way.
Why is that person here?
Hello Mr. Cha Min-woo! Congratulations!
I didn't know any better back then and made a grave mistake.
What are you doing?
Cha Min-woo is now a member of Baekdu Movie Productions.
From now on, I won't forgive you if you keep making mistakes like that.
Do you understand me?
Oh my goodness! I'm so scared!
You are so lucky Mr. Cha Min-woo!
You have someone like president Nam protecting you like this. Don't you?
Min-woo are you okay?
You don't look so well anymore.
No... give me a second.
You must have not taken my words seriously.
You willingly went into Baekdu Movie Productions
And within a short amount of time, you fully comprehended...
my sworn enemy president Nam.
You're hiding nicely under that fool's shadows.
Is it because you graduated from a prominent college?
You're really smart.
I'm...
only here because of my artistic works.
I don't have any other reasons.
Look here Mr. Cha Min-woo...
you still don't understand?
That kind of thinking or decision-making is up to me.
Understand?
Oh that's right!
Go to the car...
and get my bag.
Your bag?
Oh alright.
President Nam...
I'm here.
Why are you so late?
I'm sorry. I tried getting here earlier.
Oh goodness!
Is this the famous play writer, Mr. Cha Min-woo?
This is...
our lead actress for "Youth"...
My name is Yoon Mi-hee!
You know me right?
Oh you must've not known my relationship with president Nam.
We're in a relationship...
you know what I mean right?
-Aren't you busy? -Huh?
Why?
Should I be busy right now?
But... where is Suh-yeon?
I brought a present for Suh-yeon.
Present?
There she comes, my present.
Over here! Here!
What is that bus driver's assistant doing here?
Did you invite Kang In-kyung?
What are you talking about?
That's the girl...
Jung-ho paid off all her debt for last time.
In-kyung!
Come this way.
Jung-ho paid off her debt for her?
Then Cha Min-woo must know her as well?
Hi Min-woo.
No.
I don't know her.
I don't know who she is.
Did you know that my brother paid off Kang In-kyung's debt for her?
I'm going to keep waiting for you.
Until the day you come to me.
-They just dated, they didn't get married. -Nam Hee-ae!
I need to tell him everything tomorrow.
One mis-understanding leads to another.
A personal debt?
So it wasn't a simple money problem?
