(Episode 49)
There is a solution.
I...
have an idea to solve this issue.
Tell us.
How about I...
dub it with my voice?
Are you kidding right now?
Post-synchronisation is not an easy thing to do.
Only professionally-trained voice actors can do it.
I've been trained on it, too.
I can do it, Sir.
How about we decide after listening to her voice?
Sir.
That will be just a waste of time.
You seem very confident.
You said that you've been trained on it. If that's the case,
can you show us now?
Yes. I just need the film to be played.
Is that so?
Then show us.
Sir.
Are you sure about using Ms Kang's voice?
Unless you have a hearing problem,
you should know that she's much better than the voice actress.
But we could...
hire a better voice actress if we replace Ms Kang altogether.
Can you not grasp the situation or what?
How can you say that as a director after ruining the dubbing?
What would you have done without Ms Kang's help?
I'm just suggesting it to ensure the film's success.
Don't be so egotistical and childish.
You also tried to make me become suspicious of her at the hospital.
You shouldn't be that petty if you want to make good films.
Go and thank Ms Kang!
Kang In Kyung.
("Mask")
(Sold Out)
The tickets are sold out again?
It was sold out yesterday, too. I really wanted to watch it today.
In Kyung, all tickets are sold out again today.
It's very rare for tickets to a specific film to be...
sold out nonstop for such a long period of time.
You've made it big, my sister.
You're so inspiring, In Kyung.
Are you talking to the poster now?
Gosh, you startled me.
What brings you here?
I'm obviously here because of In Kyung. Haven't you heard?
I'm now her makeup artist.
I'll also work as her manager and stay by her side all the time.
In other words, I got a promotion. Promotion.
Promotion?
You're her minion who carries her bag. You call that a promotion?
What? Minion?
Gosh, you stupid little...
Hey, did you catch a cold?
See? I told you to dress warmly for the cold weather today.
I can't bundle up and look like a bear even if it's cold...
because I work in the beauty industry.
It'll make me look unstylish.
Goodness.
My gosh. What are you doing now?
Why did you put your jacket over me?
I feel hot all of a sudden. Just keep it on.
Why is my nose so itchy suddenly?
I'm getting a weird vibe from you.
Are you,
by any chance...
Why? What are you wondering?
What is it?
Are you going to ask me to lend you money?
Gosh...
You're... Forget it.
That's not it?
Then what is it?
It has attracted over 30,000 viewers in a week.
All of the newspaper articles just mention Mr Cha as a side note...
while highly praising your performance and potentials.
Frankly, I'm not fully satisfied with the way the film was directed.
However, I feel that your performance made up for it.
I wouldn't have been able to do it alone.
You and all of the crew members worked so hard.
But above all, I appreciate your help the most, Ms Hong.
If you didn't thank me,
I would've said something. Thanks anyway.
All right. Then let's talk about how we can continue this success.
In Kyung, how do you feel about signing...
an exclusive contract with my company?
I'll discuss it with Ms Hong.
I want to make a decision after careful consideration.
(The Rookie, Kang In Kyung, Drew 30,000 Viewers in One Week)
What is this nonsense?
It's my film.
Why is In Kyung getting all the spotlight?
It looks like you were...
- reading an article about me. - What are you doing now?
Who told you that you can walk in here?
Don't be so harsh on me.
I came to thank you because the film is getting such amazing feedback.
You're here to thank me?
Stop lying to my face and just get out of here.
Did I sound too insincere?
I was doing my best to come across as sincere.
Get out.
Leave immediately.
I actually...
wanted to see the look on your face.
The face of the man who made the woman...
whom he once tried to kill become a star.
What's that gibberish now?
I guess being in a little bit of the spotlight...
got you thinking that you've become a top star.
Wake up, In Kyung.
Do you actually think that I'll let you shine?
Try to take me down all you want.
Every time you try,
I'm going to trample on you and become more successful.
I scheduled another TV commercial shoot.
Tomorrow, there's a photo shoot for a magazine cover.
On the following day, there's another shoot and an interview.
You've made it big, indeed. You're so busy.
I'm happy that all of my hard work is paying off,
but I'm anxious at the same time.
I'll have to work harder to maintain everything I've achieved.
By the way, what do you want to do about the contract?
I want to take my time and think about it.
Are you thinking of signing the contract with Baekdu Films?
Baekdu Films is the biggest film production company.
They produce many films,
and I also like that they strive to produce high-quality work.
I know that, but...
you'll end up having to deal with Mr Cha regularly if you go there.
I know what you're worried about.
I'll think about it.
Oh, right. Ms Hong, I think...
I should move back home now.
Do you have to do that?
You can just stay here and visit your family often.
You know that I made a promise to my family.
So you don't think of me as your family.
That hurts my feelings.
Please don't say that.
You know how much I care about you.
You walked in through that door and said,
"I want to become an actress."
It feels as if it was only yesterday.
I can't believe how much you've changed.
I was a huge mess back then, right?
Yes, you were.
You had such a thick accent due to your dialect.
Your clothes were so out of style, and you looked lacklustre.
You looked so weird.
But strangely enough, I liked that about you.
If...
it weren't for you,
I wouldn't have been able to come this far.
You know that I'm always grateful for all of your help, right?
Actually, I'm the one who should thank you.
When I first met you,
I didn't know how to go about starting afresh in this lonely city.
I was also depressed as I failed to find the person I was looking for.
I was able to get through the hard times because of you.
- You were looking for someone? - Yes.
You don't need to know.
By the way,
you'll visit me often even if you move back home, right?
Of course.
This is my second home. I'll never forget that.
You mustn't forget.
You know that I can get quite lonely, right?
I'll come and yell at you if I feel neglected.
Okay. I won't forget.
Why are you taking such a long time to find that kid?
I'm almost there.
I just need to check something.
Have you...
- been lying to me all along? - Pardon me?
What are you talking about?
How could I lie to you about something like that?
The fact that your son is alive is huge news.
Lower your voice.
Oh, right.
Make sure to bring evidence next time you come here.
From now on, I won't believe a word you say without evidence.
Pardon? Evidence?
Sure. I'll be sure to bring proof if I can't bring the kid to you.
- Mr Cha, by the way... - What now?
Are you going to ask me for money again?
No, no. It's not about money.
I'm wondering if you'd be able to create a position for me here.
Come again?
As you know, I used to run a bus company,
and I also used to own a talent agency for actors.
Now, I don't even have a title, and all I do is look for that kid,
- so I'm a little... - Didn't you initially...
come to me for a job like this?
I did, but this is too...
Bring evidence.
If you can't,
we won't even need to see each other again.
You may leave now.
That jerk is getting nastier every time I see him.
Anyway, he wants proof.
I have to find that kid as soon as possible.
My hunch is telling me that he's in Nangok-dong.
I mean, I heard a kid crying when I was there last time.
I'm convinced. There's something in Nangok-dong.
Pardon me? You found her?
You found Yeon Hee's daughter?
Where is she?
She's in Seoul?
Yes, all right. Please look further into it.
Finally. Will I...
be able to find her soon?
Seung Joon.
Aunty is here.
You recognise me?
Look at you, Seung Joon. You've gotten chubby.
Your mum must be feeding you a lot of good food.
That's right. Even if I can't eat it,
I always make sure to feed him the best-quality food.
Oh, my. You're so lucky, Seung Joon.
Your mum is the best. Don't you think so, Seung Joon?
It looks like he thinks you're the best. He's so happy to see you.
It's almost as if Seung Joon...
knows that you're his mum.
By the way,
where's my mum?
She's in Choon Ja's room.
She tries not to show it, but I think she has been waiting for you.
Mum, your daughter is here.
Are you going to keep showing me your back?
You should've stayed in that fancy place. Why are you back here?
I'm back because you're here.
You and Han Soo live here,
so this is my home.
I promised you that I'd come back when I become successful.
You're so ruthless.
Fine. Welcome back.
Mum, I know...
why you were so against me becoming an actress.
You know?
You have no clue, you wench.
It's because I'm your daughter.
It's because you didn't want anything to take me away from you.
I know everything.
My daughter? Whatever.
Is that why you packed up and moved out like that?
I did it because I wanted to show you that I can...
make my dream come true and become an actress.
So? Are you happy that you won?
I'm only happy when you're happy.
Stop it.
Whenever things were difficult,
I thought about you a lot.
I thought about the food you make...
and reminisced how you used to nag me.
You used to say that you were sick of it.
It's so strange. I guess missing you...
made me miss even your nagging.
Hence,
I've decided to live here with you so that I can hear your nagging.
I can, right?
Enough.
Let's just fix dinner now.
Ms Park bought a big bag of flour earlier today...
to make pancakes for you.
Mum, thank you.
You didn't have to tell her that.
In Kyung, put Seung Joon down already.
People will think that he's your kid.
Seung Joon likes me.
Right, Seung Joon?
Hold on a second. We have to have a cake-cutting ceremony.
There's an order we have to follow to celebrate properly.
Wait, hang on.
This is a welcoming party for In Kyung.
We should have her say a few words first.
You're right. Actress Kang In Kyung,
please tell us how it feels to be back home.
Yes. Don't go on, though.
Keep it short and sweet, okay? The cake is waiting.
How I feel to be back?
I want to thank everyone.
The process of becoming an actress...
was actually very difficult. Every time I felt stressed out,
I could hold out and go on because of you guys.
And I'm realising this once again today.
There's no place like home.
- That's right. - You're absolutely right.
Are you working on Ms Kang's exclusive contract?
Yes. She said she'd let me know after speaking with Ms Hong.
She also said that she'll consider it positively.
Baekdu Films won't lose anything in the deal.
Do your best to persuade her.
Okay, I will.
Ms Kang?
Are you two talking about In Kyung?
She'll sign a contract with Baekdu Films? Why?
You must know the reason if you've read articles about "Mask".
I can't believe this.
Tae Joon, I'm also against it.
Mr Cha. You're against it too, right?
I am,
but Jung Ho thinks differently.
What? You got her back again?
She deserves my support.
She is a great actress.
Whether she's a great actress or not,
I just don't want Baekdu Films to have anything to do with her.
Is there a shortage of actors or what?
Why does it have to be her?
There are many actors,
but a great actress like Ms Kang is rare.
Look for a different actress. Find someone else no matter what.
Isn't it also part of your job as the company's president?
Hee Ae, that's enough.
As a president, Jung Ho has full authority over those matters.
He'll decide and take responsibility for his choice,
- so don't bring this up again. - Dad.
Seung Joon, your mum already misses you.
Seung Joon?
That's the kid, Heo Seung Joon, whom I saw in Seosan, right?
I found him. I finally found him.
Seung Joon.
You couldn't fall asleep because you missed me too much, right?
In Kyung, keep an eye on Seung Joon for me.
I need to go to the bathroom.
Okay.
What's this?
- What brings you here? - My gosh.
I must've scared you, Geum Soon.
That's probably why you ran out after me like this.
I'm asking why you're here at this late hour.
That little boy.
Is he Heo Seung Joon or Cha Seung Joon?
Pardon? What are you talking about now?
Well, you don't need to answer.
Your face tells it all. It says, "Cha Seung Joon".
Stop talking nonsense and leave immediately.
Shall I find out whether it's nonsense or not...
by asking In Kyung directly?
Why would you ask her about it?
You're mistaken. Why are you being like this?
That little boy is Chil Bong's nephew.
We adopted him, so I'm his mum now.
Sure, I want to believe you.
But everyone in Chil Bong's hometown knows...
that he was brought from somewhere.
Who said that? That's not true.
Gosh.
I can see how scared you are now.
That's enough for today. I'll come back another time.
All right, Geum Soon?
Seung Joon, even your hands are so adorable.
Geum Soon.
What's the matter? Is something going on outside?
What? No.
I'm just a little startled.
Seung Joon.
Your mum is back. Say "Mum".
In Kyung, what should we do?
It looks like Mr Byun has caught onto something.
What can we do?
Seung Joon.
Look at the moon in the sky.
Isn't it so beautiful?
You must like the moon, too.
My Perky...
also used to like the moon when he was in my belly.
Seung Joon.
Shall we look at the moon together...
and try to fall asleep?
My baby, come on out.
Let's go welcome the moon.
So Geum Soon is raising the kid.
Cha Min Woo, you better get yourself ready.
I'll lead this game from now on.
Goodness. You're such a big guy.
I don't know why you get sick so often.
Hey, you fool! That's the only blanket we have.
I'll wash it later.
Hey, just give it to me. Goodness.
Give it to me.
Gosh.
Do I really have to look after you at this age?
Here. Eat this.
Geun Tae.
What did you just say?
How dare you call me by my name.
Can't you be nicer? I'm sick.
It looks like I've been too lax with you. You punk.
How dare you call me like that.
Strictly speaking, you're no longer my boss.
You little... Shall I hit you with this bowl?
This is too much.
I'm putting up with living in this tiny room because I trust you.
Doing odd jobs at construction sites...
will be better than this.
Hey.
Be a man. Stop crying.
Hey, don't worry.
No matter what happens,
I'll be sure to take care of you.
Gosh, you fool. You're making me cry.
Come here.
Here, let me feed you.
Geun Tae...
Hey.
Eat this and perk up. I need you to go out...
and get a camera for me.
A camera?
(Signatory, Name: Kang In Kyung)
You made the right decision.
Here's the contract.
Okay.
Thank you.
I should be thanking you.
The hottest rising star is joining my company.
I know that you're teasing me, but I'll let it go as I'm flattered.
Oh, boy. Thank you.
All right.
I need to sign here, right?
You can't.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about Ms Kang.
I cannot let her join Baekdu Films.
Mr Cha.
Here.
It's a petition signed by directors who are against the decision.
What did you just say?
I'm clearly not the only one who is against her joining the company.
Mr Nam.
May I take a quick look at it?
You can look at it all you want, but nothing will change.
They are film directors at Baekdu Films.
Yes, they are.
However, Mr Kim, Mr Choi and Mr Han as well as...
all other film directors who signed this...
are the ones who called me.
- What do you mean? - They said...
that they had to sign this because Mr Cha pestered them so much.
They told me not to worry about it since it means nothing.
Oh, right. All of them also said that they already sent me scripts...
and that they want to work with me in the future.
They're just buttering you up.
This petition shows what they really think.
Oh, is that so?
All of them said...
that you forced them to sign this.
They said that Chairman Nam won't let it slide if he finds out.
They were worried about you.
What should we do?
Shall we meet with all of them and find out who's telling the truth?
Or shall I go speak with Chairman Nam right now?
Mr Cha.
I'm sorry to say this to you,
but I can't trust this petition. In addition,
I have full authority...
over signing new actors. Please don't forget.
Ms Kang.
- Go ahead and sign it. - Okay.
Thank you.
You sly fox.
It's your fault.
You should've been discreet about meeting with the directors at least.
I couldn't let you have your way.
Signing the contract doesn't mean you can be in films.
- Remember that. - Right.
That is...
what I want to tell you.
What?
I must say, you look great now. You look so natural.
But I want you to look a little happier. Just a touch more.
Be lighter like the silver grass dancing behind you in the wind.
Be a little more natural.
- Then I'll do it again. - All right.
- I think I can do better this time. - Okay.
All right, let's give it a try. Yes, that's good.
Okay. Get ready.
All right, look at the camera. In 1, 2.
That's great!
Smile. In 1, 2.
Nice! That was awesome.
All right, let's keep going!
Oh, my. That was great.
Okay. Strike a pose.
Again.
Stand straight and look at the camera. In 1, 2!
Put on these running shoes instead.
Where did you get these?
I bought them for you.
I'm okay in these heels.
Shall I put them on for you?
No! It's okay.
Put them on.
I'm telling you as the president of Baekdu Films.
If you want to be a pro, you must take good care of yourself.
You know, right?
They fit perfectly.
Thank you, Mr Nam.
Then...
promise me that you will...
wear these running shoes when you don't have any shoots.
Okay, I promise.
Hello.
- Who are you? - Gosh.
I thought you were a newlywed bride. I guess I was mistaken.
My goodness. You're certainly mistaken.
What brings you here, Sir?
May I trouble you for a glass of water?
This neighbourhood in on a steep hill, you know.
I'm thirsty from walking all the way up here.
Sure. That's no trouble at all.
- Just a moment, please. - Okay.
I'll be right back.
Hey, kid.
Your name is Cha Seung Joon, right?
You must want to know who your dad is.
Your dad also wants to know how you're doing.
Let me see.
Do you take after your dad or your mum?
Look at me.
Kid, look at the camera.
Byun Geun Tae?
What are you doing now?
I must say, you and that kid look so lovely together.
Don't you agree, Geum Soon?
Leave immediately, or I'll call the police.
Here it is.
You girls are home.
But...
what's with that look on your face?
- Thank you so much for the water. - No problem.
I should get going now.
Bye.
Geum Soon, keep an eye on Seung Joon for me.
Wait, Mr Byun Geun Tae.
Mr Byun Geun Tae?
Right, you're an actress now.
What brings you here?
What on earth are you doing here?
I heard that a little kid moved in here.
I was curious what he looks like, so I came to see his face.
Why do you want to know what his face looks like?
- He's my family. - In Kyung.
Do you know that I still have your pregnancy diagnosis?
Pregnancy diagnosis?
That's right. The one you ripped was a copy.
I still have the original document.
Did you think I'd be scared by that?
I can say that it was forged,
so don't you dare try to threaten me with it.
Really? Then how about this?
"The rookie actress, Kang In Kyung,"
"actually has a kid."
What are you talking about?
What do you think? I'm talking about your son.
That baby...
you gave birth to at the inn two years ago.
