(Episode 25)
That lady is...
the one whom Jung Ho cleared all the debt for.
In Kyung, I'm here.
Jung Ho paid off her debt?
Then you must know her, Mr Cha.
Min Woo.
No.
I don't.
I don't know her.
I'm going to step out for some fresh air.
(Welcoming Banquet for Writer Cha Min Woo)
Min Woo.
Where is Seo Yeon by the way?
Tae Joon, I'll be right back.
What brings you here, In Kyung?
Mr Nam.
Ms Yoon Mi Hee asked me for a favour.
Ms Yoon?
Mr Kim, please give this to Ms Yoon.
Yes, Sir.
Please spare me a second.
Ms Kang, how do you know Ms Yoon?
Haven't you heard?
She said I can run errands for her...
instead of paying you interest.
Interest?
I clearly told you to stop. You don't need to pay me back.
Did you...
not know that Mr Cha would be here?
No.
He probably acted that way because he was surprised to see you.
It was thoughtless of me to have come here.
I feel like I've made everyone uncomfortable.
I'll get going now.
Are you all right?
Yes.
I just wanted to get some fresh air.
Did you know about my brother...
paying off In Kyung's debt?
No.
I thought it was strange.
- What do you mean? - In Kyung and Jung Ho...
Never mind. Don't you think it's strange?
Why would Jung Ho pay off a stranger's debt?
I'm sure there was a reason.
- I'm going to get going. - Now?
No, you can't leave. This banquet is so important.
The man of the hour must be present.
Let Chairman Nam know that I left.
I'll get going, then.
In Kyung.
Why do you have to ruin everything for Min Woo?
Oh, my!
What an incredible sight!
It's not easy to capture the three of the most influential figures...
in Korea's film industry in one frame like this.
You're right.
Will I get to stand right beside the top star, Ms Yoon Mi Hee,
like this ever again in my life?
What do you say, Ms Yoon?
Does that guy still work for you?
He rubs me the wrong way every time I see him.
I don't know how you can stand him, Hyung Ok.
When a dog forgets how to tip-toe around its master's feelings,
it should be abandoned.
I can still put up with him.
I'll be back. I need to go wash my hands.
It looks like you have a lot of time on your hands these days.
Shouldn't you be thinking about how you're going to get...
those third-rate films you imported to be screened at cinemas?
Whether they're third or fourth rate,
if they earn me money, that makes them the best kind of film.
That jerk. That horrible jerk...
What do you want?
The money issue is between me and Ms Kang, and it's been resolved.
- So? - Don't summon her because of it.
This is a warning.
What is going on today?
Why is everyone trying to provoke me?
To me, that sounds like...
you're telling me not to bother your girl any more.
Why would that be?
Ms Yoon.
Go in and do something about your father-in-law.
Gosh, it's too bad.
If that bus attendant could stay,
things would've gotten very entertaining.
I really wanted someone to witness that entertaining sight.
Are you trying to pick a fight again?
What are you talking about?
I'm just worried about your malfunctioning family.
I get that you're busy with your boy toys,
but don't forget to keep an eye on your husband.
What did you just say?
Why did he do that?
Min Woo didn't even talk to me...
and said that he doesn't know me.
Yes.
I'm sure he was surprised to see me.
That's right. He must've been very nervous.
Min Woo won't do that to me.
Never.
You were here.
Min Woo.
You...
must've been very flustered earlier.
I'm sorry. I wasn't sure what to do in that situation.
It's okay. I'm sure you were surprised...
to see me there out of the blue dressed like this.
In Kyung.
- Yes? - I heard that Mr Nam...
paid off your debt.
What does that mean, exactly?
Well...
That's...
It's a long story, but...
So is it true?
Did he actually clear your debt for you?
Yes.
He did, but...
I thought I knew you well,
- but I guess I don't. - Min Woo.
I'll tell you everything. What happened was...
Min Woo...
Earlier,
Mi Hee told me that I should keep an eye on you. What does that mean?
Since when do you care about what she says?
I don't care, but...
I'm just curious.
Where is Shin Yeon Woo?
Did you make sure he got home safely?
I'm sure he got home safe and sound.
Couldn't you have been more careful on a day like today?
It was an important event for the company.
From directors and writers to our employees,
everyone was there.
Don't worry. No matter what the occasion is,
I would never embarrass you. Got it?
So Mr Cha didn't even listen and just left?
Yes.
I wanted to tell him, but he said we should talk another time.
I should've told him sooner.
You weren't sure how to bring it up to him.
I mean, it's a complicated story.
I know, but I'm going to tell him everything tomorrow.
I don't want the misunderstanding to deepen.
Yes, you should tell him.
Min Woo seems to be really on edge these days.
I should be better to him.
I want to be good to him, but things keep going wrong.
I'm so upset, Geum Soon.
Gosh.
(Baekdu Films)
Will it be too tight if you only get 20 days...
- to finalise the script? - Not at all.
I'm revising my own work, not someone else's.
It shouldn't be a problem.
Great. Let's go with this schedule, then.
I thought...
you were going to ask me about Ms Kang before the meeting,
but you jumped right into work stuff.
I actually wanted to talk to you about that.
I don't want the front money for my script.
What do you mean by that?
I'll pay you back on behalf of In Kyung...
with that front money.
What I did for Ms Kang and our agreement...
are two separate things. Ms Kang is...
You may think that way, but I don't.
Whatever In Kyung goes through is my business, as well.
I paid it off because of my father-in-law...
I mean, it was something that I had to take care of.
I'm personally indebted to her.
You're personally indebted to In Kyung?
Are you saying that it wasn't just about money?
No, that's not what I meant.
It's quite complicated.
Forget it. I don't want to know the details.
Anyway, I'll think that this conversation is over.
I do not want that front money.
Goodness.
- Are you looking for something? - Yes.
I forgot to bring my fountain pen. I use it all the time.
Really?
Use this.
Okay, thanks.
Did you get home safely last night?
- Yes. - Did you see In Kyung?
Yes, I spoke to her.
Hello, Mr Cha.
Is the script coming along well?
Hello. Yes, it's all right.
Is that so?
That's surprising.
You must find writing a film script difficult because...
it's very different from writing plays.
You've never written a film script before, right?
Mr Oh, you're very straightforward. I'm like that, too.
All of your previous films were mediocre.
That's precisely why they ended up being huge failures.
If you want this film to be a hit,
you should treat Mr Cha with respect. Please don't be rude.
Also, please address him with respect as well.
He's Writer Cha Min Woo.
You're right.
Have a great day, Writer Cha.
He really gets on my nerves.
Why is he trying to bluff in front of you?
Isn't he annoying?
You're so daring.
Writer Cha, I hope you have a great day today.
Let's go out for dinner later.
You're free, right?
Bae Choon Ja.
Stop. With both hands.
Goodness.
I even love the colour of the envelop.
It's gold.
Oh Geum Soon.
You and I have unfinished business. You're aware, right?
Kang In Kyung.
- Yes. - Goodness.
I guess you didn't miss work today because it's payday.
Thank you, Sir.
Hey, it's right here.
How can you drop it when it's handed to you?
See?
She's not even used to getting paid.
Did that pervert oil his hands to make them slippery or what?
Don't worry about it. I'm fine.
All right. Today is a happy day because we all got paid.
We shouldn't let him ruin our day.
We're going out for lunch today, right?
Let's do that. We have to go out for a meal on a day like today.
(Kang In Kyung)
Geum Soon, I have to stop by somewhere.
You guys should go ahead without me.
(Baekdu Films)
In Kyung.
What brings you here at this hour?
- I want to show you something. - Sorry?
I got my first pay.
I see.
That's awesome. Congratulations.
Have you had lunch yet?
Yes, I just ate.
What about you?
I've eaten, as well.
Then I'll treat you to dinner this evening.
Dinner?
I'm sorry. I have plans for this evening.
Oh, really?
That's okay.
Then let's go out for dinner tomorrow.
I'll meet you at your place tomorrow evening.
All right. Let's do that.
In Kyung. By the way,
you no longer need to worry about...
the money you owe Mr Nam.
What do you mean?
I took care of it.
Why did you do that?
You don't have that kind of money.
Please don't. I'll make sure to...
In Kyung.
I really don't want to argue with you about things like this.
But...
Min Woo.
I have to get back to work.
Congratulations on getting your first pay.
I'll see you tomorrow.
What? Third-rate films?
How amazing are their films, then? He's so full of himself.
Well...
Now that Cha Min Woo is on board,
Nam Jung Ho will start going all out and get on our nerves.
We have to separate those two at all cost.
I have an idea, Sir.
You remember that photo of Nam Jung Ho...
and In Kyung we took at Lavo Hotel, right?
What do you think about using that photo?
That photo?
This photo...
isn't clear enough to make it on the newspapers, but...
It's surely good enough to make Cha Min Woo's blood boil.
You're right.
So you're saying that we should make a real third-rate film,
- right? - Yes, Sir.
How's the script coming along?
Jung Ho is pretty fussy, isn't he?
He's not that fussy.
But frankly, I have no idea what kind of person he is.
Are you bothered by him because of In Kyung?
- A little. - I actually asked him about her,
but he didn't really tell me anything.
I wonder if something happened between those two.
You know, my dad has high hopes for this film.
If it becomes a hit, you'll be recognised for your hard work.
Shall I ask him to make you a director if it becomes a success?
You want to become a film director, right?
My dad really values my advice.
I can make anything you want happen.
Isn't it awesome to have my support?
Yes, it is.
Min Woo.
I've decided to wait for you...
until you come to me.
- Hey, Hee Ae. - I've tried very hard,
but I cannot turn off my feelings for you.
I'm confident that I can make you happier than In Kyung can...
because I can give you everything you want.
All right. Here's the nourishing moisturiser you like, Mum.
Goodness.
You're so stingy.
Why didn't you get a bigger size?
I'll use this up in no time.
The sales associate said that this is the best one.
Han Soo, I got you a pair of running shoes!
I wasn't even expecting anything.
Oh, my. You're the best, In Kyung. I've been wanting to get these.
You're an angel.
Hey.
How can you get new shoes only for Han Soo?
What about me?
Can't you see that I also have two feet? Look.
Ms Park, I got you a pair of trousers.
Oh, boy.
Walking up the stairs in this shanty town is so tiring.
My gosh!
Oh my goodness.
What's all this?
I went shopping and splurged a little.
- Ms Park. - Yes?
Go try this on.
Oh, my. Look at this!
I love the colour.
Choon Ja, have I told you?
You're better than my daughter.
Yes, you've said it countless times already.
I hope you like it.
Choon Ja, thank you.
I actually got it for free because I bought too many things.
Hush.
Did you and Mr Heo have a fun date?
Yes. You enjoyed your dinner with Mr Cha, right?
Actually,
he was busy today. I'm seeing him tomorrow instead.
What's up?
I'm so tired. Why did you want me to come over?
I was waiting for Geum Soon to get home because there's something...
I want to give to both of you.
This one is for you, Geum Soon.
And Choon Ja, this is yours.
What is this?
I bought them while getting gifts for my family.
You two have done so much for me. Thanks for all of your help.
Thanks. I like this colour.
Did you get anything for yourself?
No, I'm fine.
Geum Soon, do you like yours?
Of course!
It's so pretty. Thanks, In Kyung.
I must say, it's a little out of style,
but I can pull off anything.
I'll show you.
See? I look like an actress.
Oh, my. It looks amazing on you.
So you bought hairbands for us.
What did you get for Mr Cha?
Show us. I want to see what you got for him.
I haven't bought anything for him yet because I couldn't decide.
I'm going to get something tomorrow.
Right.
Picking a gift for a boyfriend is so difficult.
What is this now?
Are you saying you two understand each other since you're both dating?
Goodness. You two are so mean.
Go in now.
Bye.
You obviously know that Mr Cha is seeing Ms Kang now.
What are you thinking?
They're dating, but so what?
- It's not like they're married. - What?
- Hee Ae. - At least I'm not doing what you...
Never mind.
What are you talking about?
I'm saying that you don't need to worry about me.
Min Woo's attitude towards me has definitely changed.
If the feeling I'm getting is right, he's starting to open up to me.
Jung Ho.
I'm going to make him mine.
You no longer need to worry about...
the money you owe Mr Nam.
I took care of it.
No.
I really can't let him do that.
I should go tell Mr Nam...
not to accept any money from Min Woo.
I left this here.
I got it for your birthday.
I'll be sure to treasure this until the day I die.
I'm confident that I can make you happier than In Kyung can...
because I can give you everything you want.
(Seungri Transportation)
Have you decided what to get for your boyfriend?
- What are you thinking? - I think...
I'm just going to treat him to a delicious dinner.
Goodness. That's so boring.
I mean, we eat dinner every day.
You should do something special for him.
You said things aren't like how they used to be these days.
- Something special? - Exactly.
You should do something that can move his heart.
You know. Something that can...
make a man's heart flutter and whirl like this.
You know what I mean, right?
Something about memories you two share.
Memories?
Oh, didn't you say that you have to go somewhere?
Right! I'll be back soon.
What is this?
It's interest...
for the money I owe you.
Goodness. Ms Kang.
I'm here to ask you for a favour.
I heard Min Woo told you that he wants to pay my debt for me.
- Is it true? - Yes.
He did say that,
but I clearly told him that it isn't necessary.
And I'm pretty sure I've said the same thing to you numerous times.
I don't want to be indebted to anyone.
I can only pay the interest right now,
but I'll be able to start paying off the principal soon.
Then I'll get going now.
Ms Kang.
Okay.
You're one stubborn lady, but I understand...
why you're doing this.
I'll stop saying that you don't need to pay me back.
You can. However,
I'd like to get paid back at once.
- Pardon me? - I think...
that you visiting me on a monthly basis like this...
could put me in an awkward position.
But...
would that really be okay with you?
It might take me quite a while to save enough money.
That's totally fine. I know...
that you'll be sure to pay me back.
Yes, of course.
Well...
Okay, then.
Please don't worry.
It's not like I'm this way only with you.
You never know what can happen in life.
Who knows?
I might need your help someday.
When and if that happens, I'll do my best to help you.
Okay.
Thank you. I'll remember that.
I actually asked Jung Ho about her, but he didn't tell me anything.
I wonder if something happened between those two.
Did...
something really happen?
No.
No, In Kyung would never do such a thing.
(Smile More Campaign: Laugh and smile your way to health.)
Something about memories you two share.
I heard that the script is almost ready.
- May I take a look? - No.
It's not ready yet.
I was actually about to leave because of a commitment I have.
Let's talk another time.
Goodness.
Hey, Cha Min Woo.
(I'm rooting for you, Writer Cha Min Woo.)
Let go! What do you want from me?
You rat. How dare you!
Stop, Mr Lim.
That's enough. You can't treat an artist like that.
Welcome, Writer Cha of Baekdu Films. Please have a seat.
If Chairman Nam finds out about this, he won't let it slide.
Oh, no. I'm so scared.
Please don't do this again.
I'll get going now.
You can go,
but you should see this before you leave.
I have a very artistic photo here.
A reporter took a photo of someone you know.
In Kyung?
How...
- How did this... - Chairman Nam is a powerful man,
but do you really want to work...
for someone who philanders with your girlfriend?
(I'm rooting for you, Writer Cha Min Woo.)
Min Woo is late today.
Is he swamped at work?
In Kyung.
Min Woo.
Ta-da!
I prepared this with my first pay.
(I'm rooting for you, Writer Cha Min Woo.)
(I love you.)
Min Woo.
What's wrong?
Min Woo, what's the matter?
Did something happen at work?
Do you want to see this photo?
Gosh, how did this photo get taken...
The woman in that photo.
Is it you?
The woman...
who was caught walking out of a hotel room with Mr Nam.
Is it really you?
I was an idiot.
I was the only one who didn't know.
I saw everything. What else is there to know?
The president of this company whom you tried to seduce...
is married.
Mr Cha has a girlfriend.
Are you seeing someone now?
Let's take some time apart...
and think about our relationship.
