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.
Did Cha Min Woo send you here?
Did he tell you to pester me like this...
and find out whatever you can?
How can you be so confident when you gave birth without being married?
You gave birth to a baby boy.
- I talked to the midwife who... - Watch your tongue.
That's complete nonsense. If I see you hovering around here again,
I'll report you to the police right away.
She's not scared at all by the fact that I know about her son.
Judging from how shocked Geum Soon looked...
I'm 100 percent convinced that the kid is In Kyung's son.
Does that mean she just put on an act in front of me?
First off, I should go and develop the photos.
What does Mr Byun need to talk to In Kyung about?
Could it be about Seung Joon?
What if it is?
What should I do?
Did Mr Byun leave?
Yes.
What did he say?
Why did he come all the way here?
Mr Byun...
knows that I gave birth to Perky.
He even met the midwife who helped me then.
What?
But he thinks that Perky is alive.
Both Min Woo...
and Mr Byun are thinking that.
- In Kyung. - Don't worry, Geum Soon.
It's not like they can threaten me with a baby who doesn't even exist.
He's right here, In Kyung.
This is your son.
They're out to get me because they feel threatened by my success.
To Min Woo, I'm part of his past he wants to erase.
I'm just worried because he thinks that Seung Joon is Perky.
Seung Joon?
What if Mr Byun tries to harm him in any way?
That's what I'm most worried about.
What should I do now?
You just got your big break as an actress.
I can't tell you that Perky is alive...
and that you're holding your son in your arms right now.
In Kyung, what should I do?
The company in Hong Kong wants to co-produce "Sad Dream" with us?
Jung Ho, it seems that all of your hard work is paying off now.
Min Woo, you'll have to focus and put your best work forward.
It'll be a large-scale production.
Yes, Sir. I'll do my best.
By the way, which actors are you thinking of casting?
I'm thinking of casting Ms Kang In Kyung as the female lead.
Ms Kang?
She did become a star through our film, "Mask".
She's still a rookie who has only worked on one film.
Her popularity won't last long.
Her acting skills haven't been proven yet.
Min Woo, she played the female lead character in your film.
That's why I know the level of her talent the best.
Min Woo, are you saying that you don't think she can pull it off?
That's correct, Sir.
And you think she's capable enough to do a good job.
Yes, I can confidently say that she'll be great.
I'm pushing ahead with this project because I have confidence in her.
All right.
Jung Ho. You're the one who started the project...
so I'll leave it in your hands.
You know that it has to be more successful than "Mask", right?
Yes, Sir.
It seems like the universe keeps helping you.
You landed an amazing opportunity just after signing the contract.
The opportunity came to me because I'm well prepared.
The actress, Kang In Kyung, will become a global star soon.
Yes.
I'll prepare well and do a great job.
By the way, who's the lucky director that will work on it with you?
Mr Cha Min Woo.
What? Cha Min Woo?
In Kyung, will you be okay?
Of course.
This modest rookie actress is not choosy about directors.
I just try to pick the best work.
You even know how to crack jokes now.
I learned it all from you.
I can do a good job.
I promise. I'll do a better job this time.
(Baekdu Cinema)
What brings you here?
We obviously came to the projection room...
to watch a film.
( Baekdu Films, "Hwaryeonjijung")
I guess you heard the news already.
So? Are you trying to watch films from Hong Kong in advance?
It doesn't hurt to be prepared in advance.
In Kyung, shall I put it on now?
Who says you can do that?
Can't you see that I'm working now?
Also, since when actresses and employees were allowed...
to walk in and out of the projection room freely?
Mr Nam gave us permission.
So are you saying that Mr Nam gave you two permission...
to access and use the projection room as well as our film storage?
As a personal favour, right?
It's for our film, so it's nothing personal. It's about work.
Let's go, Han Soo.
In Kyung, didn't you say that you have to watch this film?
Next time.
I'll just watch it another time.
You don't need to watch it.
I'll make sure that I don't have to work with you on the film.
What did you just say?
Do you think she wants to work with you?
Gosh, you're so delusional.
It works out, then.
We won't have to see each other around any more.
Don't you agree, Ms Kang?
I'd love that...
but what are you going to do?
The only way we don't have to work together...
is if you quit.
Will you be okay with that?
What?
How dare she.
What do you mean you want to cast a Chinese actress?
That's not what we agreed on previously.
The script of "Sad Dream" and our faith in Mr Cha are what made us...
decide to co-produce the film with you.
How can you want to give the lead role to a rookie actress?
We can't invest in the project if you want to go ahead...
with the inexperienced actress.
We agreed that you'll invest in it and look after international sales,
and you said that you'll entrust us with production and casting.
If it's not a famous Korean actress who is well known in Greater China,
we'd prefer to cast a Hong Kong actress.
It'll put us at an advantage in sales and securing investments.
I suggest you watch "Mask" where Ms Kang is the female lead.
Watching her performance in it will change your mind.
I won't change my mind.
We'll cancel the plan altogether if we're not casting a Chinese actress.
Don't worry too much.
I'll keep working on persuading them.
Do you know where they are now?
May I meet them in person?
You want to meet them?
I can't sit around and let an opportunity like this pass by.
I should try everything I can.
Do you have any ideas, though?
I shall come up with something now.
Let's brainstorm together.
Oh, right. Do you know which Hong Kong actress...
the company is pushing for?
Pardon me?
What did you just say?
You said that girl in Seoul now. What did you say her name was?
Kang... In Kyung?
Are you sure?
Are you sure that her name is Kang In Kyung?
Oh. There you are, Mr Cha.
I have to go into a meeting, so keep it short.
- Have you found anything? - Your son is very cute.
Are you saying...
that In Kyung gave birth to this kid?
That's right.
He looks just like you, don't you think?
How can I trust you?
You're showing me a photo of a random kid.
How can I believe your preposterous claim?
Right, I'm sure you find it hard to believe.
That cute little boy is about to ruin his dad's life.
I bet you're not excited to meet him.
Aren't I right?
What is this now? Are you trying to threaten me?
If you're planning on blackmailing me with that photo...
Well...
If you don't believe me, I have no choice.
Whom shall I show this photo to?
Your wife might be the best one.
She'll be happy to get a son without the pain of labour.
What's more? Kang In Kyung is the one who gave birth to him.
Is that too cruel?
Then I should go speak to Chairman Nam.
That kid.
Where is he now?
Right. You must be curious about your son.
I went through so much trouble to find him, so I can't just tell you.
If I do, it won't be fair.
Mr Byun.
When will you give me an office here at Baekdu Films?
Stop talking nonsense.
Just tell me where that kid is!
Whether you think it's nonsense or not...
you better create a position for me here, Mr Cha.
How dare you.
I shall give you this photo as a gift.
You probably don't have any photos of your son.
Aren't I right?
See you.
In Kyung gave birth to this boy?
I can't believe it. It can't be true.
Yes, there's no way.
It's impossible.
Then, I'll see you tomorrow.
Thanks to you, we were able to buy some time.
I acted all confident in front of him, but I'm worried.
I hope he changes his mind after watching "Mask".
Watching your performance will make him change his mind.
Your talent and potentials as an actress will help us win.
Thank you for believing in me.
Well, then I should head to the cinema now...
and prepare the film.
What are they talking about?
Did they manage to persuade the company?
I just saw Mr Lim from Hong Kong leaving.
Why was he here?
He agreed to decide the terms for the contract after watching...
In Kyung's film tomorrow morning.
He'll decide after watching the film?
It looks like I'll work with you again on my second film.
No, that will not happen.
I'll do everything in my power to make sure it never happens.
(Yeon Hee and Soo Ji in 1954)
I've been looking everywhere for Yeon Hee's daughter.
In Kyung, I can't believe you're her daughter.
My goodness.
I've spent a number of years with you, yet I had no idea.
Yeon Hee, did you send her to me?
Did you send her into my life...
because you want me to look after her and keep her safe?
Ms Hong.
Gosh, you startled me.
Can't you knock?
I heard you fainted.
Did you go see a doctor? Are you all right?
Who told you that I fainted?
I'm fine. I just felt dizzy briefly.
Let me take you to a hospital.
We should find out what caused it.
Stop making such a fuss.
I'm fine, so just have a seat here.
Are you really all right?
Ms Hong.
Something happened...
right?
Yes.
Something very big happened.
May I...
- ask you what it is? - I...
A long time ago...
I told you that there's someone to whom I'm hugely indebted.
The person who paid off your debt for you...
and helped you move to Seoul, right?
You said you wouldn't be where you are now without her help.
But...
didn't you say that she passed away?
Yes. She died.
She died very young.
If she didn't help me...
she could be alive and well now.
Ms Hong.
I found her daughter...
her only family she left behind in this world.
Really?
I'm so happy to hear that.
Yes, I'm very glad.
Now, I can free myself from the burden...
that has been weighing me down...
and repay her kindness.
In Kyung.
I'm certain that this is our fate.
I'm going to live for you from now on.
I'm going to think of you as my own daughter.
Gosh, that boy really takes after him.
That's probably why there's the saying, "Blood will tell."
Gosh.
What brings you to this shabby place?
What's going on? Did you already make a position for me?
I should thank your son.
I need your help.
You do nothing for me and ask me for help all the time.
If you want to get out of this tiny room and work at Baekdu Films,
you'll need to help me.
With what?
I'll give you a call tomorrow.
Make sure that In Kyung and Jung Ho can't come to the office until then.
I beg your pardon?
Geum Soon, I got it for your nephew.
I thought of him when I was at the department store earlier.
It's okay. I can't accept this.
Don't be like this.
You're hurting my feelings.
Should I have gotten a bigger gift?
That's not why.
Just accept it, please.
I've never bought clothes for a boy before. I hope it fits him.
Take a look.
- You're home. - Yes.
- What's going on? - You know...
that Geum Soon is raising her nephew, right?
I bought a gift for him while I was getting new clothes for Da Eun.
I should get back to work now...
but I don't think I can accept this.
Please just accept it.
It'll make me happy, Geum Soon.
All right, then. Thank you.
You didn't need to do that. She's just our housekeeper.
To me, she's not just our housekeeper.
She keeps me company when you're not home and looks after Da Eun.
She's like family to me.
Family? Whatever.
Seung Joon!
Aunty In Kyung is here.
We're home.
Seung Joon. Uncle is home, too.
I'm home, too.
But I'll be going out again shortly.
Where are you going this late?
You don't need to know.
Welcome home, everyone.
You guys must be tired.
In Kyung, why are you coming to this room?
I should say hi to Seung Joon first.
Wait.
I asked you where you're going.
Goodness gracious.
I'm in a rush to get ready for a date. Why do you keep bugging me?
I wonder what style of clothes Young Gil likes.
What? Young Gil?
Isn't he the jerk who dumped you at the bar...
a long time ago?
You little...
Stop calling him a jerk.
I might end up marrying him, you know.
I should wear something sexy, right?
Right?
Wait...
Seung Joon, what did you do today?
He's fine with playing alone.
He's such a happy, sweet kid.
He smiles at me every time I see him.
That's probably why you two get along so well.
Was I sweet like him when I was a kid?
Of course. You were such a quiet, sweet baby. Raising you was so easy.
That's why I had no problem raising a baby girl from the ex-wife of...
Mum, thank you.
You silly.
Now that you're an actress, you even make empty words sound sincere.
Seung Joon, you're wearing new clothes.
It looks amazing on you.
It looks like Geum Soon splurged for him.
You did?
It's...
I can't tell her that it's from Hee Ae.
Don't save it for later.
Kids grow so fast.
If you try to save it for later, he may never get to wear it.
Do you understand?
Yes, I get it.
Yes, Mum is right.
Let's make sure Seung Joon only wears good clothes...
and eats good food.
Okay, let's do that.
In Kyung, someone is on the phone for you!
Oh, who is it?
In Kyung, what should we do?
It sounds like there's a problem.
A problem? What do you mean?
I just got a call from one of the employees at Baekdu Films.
You said you're going to show the film, "Mask", to the investors...
from Hong Kong tomorrow, right?
I heard that the actual film went missing.
Sorry? The film went missing?
Yes. Jung Ho went to the film storage, too.
It sounds like everyone at Baekdu Films is going crazy because of it.
They're asking you to come, as well. What should we do?
If we can't find it, we'll be in huge trouble.
We will run into a problem with the contract, too.
All right.
I'll go there now and find out what's going on.
Hey, wait.
Where are you going at this late hour, In Kyung?
Something urgent has come up at Baekdu Films. I have to go.
Now?
I'll go with you, then.
It's okay. I won't be long.
Tell Mum that I'll be back soon.
But... In Kyung, wait!
I must be out of my mind.
I should've stopped her. What am I doing now?
Gosh. Hold on a second.
Where are you going dressed like that?
Kid, how many times do I have to tell you?
I'm going out on a date. A date!
- Get out of my way. - Don't waste your time with a jerk.
Date someone who cherishes you.
Well, he'll start feeling attached to me with time.
Then gradually...
he'll grow to cherish me.
Do you have no pride or what?
Why are you asking me such a random question?
By the way, why are you so angry at me?
- When was I angry? - Right now!
You're throwing a fit right now.
Are you mad that I'm going out on a date?
Yes, I'm so mad. It's literally driving me crazy.
My gosh. That's called jealousy.
Men feel that way with girls they're attracted to.
- Han Soo, do you like me or what? - Yes!
- Oh. - What?
Yes! I like you. What's wrong with that?
(Category: Foreign Films)
(Baekdu Films, "Mask")
I found it.
Mr Nam!
In Kyung, what brings you here?
I heard that the film went missing.
I came here as soon as I heard that, and it's here.
I guess somebody was misinformed.
I'm so relieved that we found it.
By the way...
how did you find out about the film going missing?
Ms Hong said that she got a call about it.
In Kyung, let's get out of here first.
Gosh.
Hello? We got locked inside here!
Open the door!
We're inside!
You have to keep them there until tomorrow morning.
Please don't worry.
I'll make sure that they're...
locked inside the warehouse until the meeting is over.
You must.
They can only get out of there after the contract is finalised.
That's right. You'll get all the credit for landing the contract...
and I'll get an office here.
Is anybody there?
We're locked inside here!
Don't you think someone locked us in here on purpose?
Yes, probably.
I mean, they sent you here, too.
Someone must be doing this intentionally.
Who do you think it is?
It's probably someone who wants to stop us from landing...
the contract tomorrow.
What should we do?
If we can't get out of here until tomorrow, the contract will be...
We can get out of here. We must.
The security guard will do his rounds in the morning,
and the employees will arrive, as well.
Sit down.
It's not like worrying about it can help us get out.
That means we have no choice but to stay here for the night.
My family will be worried about me.
You're worried about your family even in this situation.
Aren't you worried about your family?
Worrying about you and myself is keeping me busy enough.
Me?
It'll get very cold in here late at night.
Judging from what you're wearing now,
you could die from hypothermia.
No way.
Give me your hand.
My hand?
Why?
It's already cold as ice.
Here, take this.
No, I'm fine.
You're not fine at all. Your hands are shaking.
What about you, though?
You must be cold, too.
Yes. I feel really cold, as well.
But what can I do?
I can't watch you shivering in cold for the life of me.
If you want to thank me...
just tell me a story.
What kind of story?
Well...
Let's think about what would be good.
Winter nights are long anyway.
Is Jung Ho not home yet?
No. He's really late today.
Did something happen at work today?
I'm not sure.
I guess he's busy with the contract with the company in Hong Kong.
Is everything going well with that contract?
I'm not sure if I can tell you about it...
but I don't think it's going too well.
Is that so?
It's an important contract, which will decide the company's future.
Then you should help Jung Ho.
It's Jung Ho's project. I don't want to step on his toes.
Don't say that.
The credit will go to whoever contributes to landing the contract.
Is that what you think?
Of course. That's how it should be.
By the way, is Jung Ho going to pull an all-nighter?
You don't sound okay.
You'll catch a cold.
Let's share this.
Gosh, no. It's okay.
I have an exclusive contract with your company.
You have to listen to me.
Come on.
Isn't it uncomfortable for you?
It is.
If you want to thank me...
"Just tell me a story."
Goodness.
Will we be able to get out of here...
before the meeting tomorrow?
We have to.
I'll do whatever I can to get out of here when the sun comes up.
(Baekdu Films)
This is ridiculous. Was she just bluffing yesterday or what?
What a waste of time.
Just a moment.
Mr Cha.
I don't agree with Mr Nam.
I'm with you on casting a Hong Kong actress.
In Kyung.
I think someone is here.
Really?
Is anybody outside?
We're locked inside here!
Is anybody there? Please open this door for us!
