(Episode 52)
It must be her.
- Seo Yeon. - It's nice to meet you, everyone.
I'm the head of Yidojeonyoung's Korean branch,
Lee Seo Yeon.
It has been a long time, Ms Kang.
Ms Lee.
Everyone looks so surprised.
Out of everyone, I think...
- Mr Nam is the most surprised. - Seo Yeon.
- What are you doing... - All right.
We all know each other, so we probably don't need introductions.
Shall we just go ahead and sign the contract, then?
It looks like we need...
to reconsider signing this deal.
Ms Kang, let me have a word with you.
I don't think we should...
- sign this contract. - Mr Nam.
I was thinking that the terms and conditions were strangely strict,
and there was obviously a reason. She'll use them as an excuse...
- to make your life difficult. - She probably...
will do that.
That must be why that contract was created to begin with.
In Kyung, are you...
going to go ahead and sign the contract?
To be honest with you,
I debated whether to sign it or not because of the terms and conditions.
I arrived at the decision after careful consideration.
I worked hard to land this opportunity.
I can't give up just because Ms Lee is the head of their Korean branch.
In Kyung.
Will you choose to walk on the path of thorns she laid out for you?
The fact of the matter is that what I want is at the end of that path.
I'm sure you agree that this project is a great opportunity for me.
I'm...
- going to sign the contract. - What if...
I'm against it?
Will you still sign it?
I probably...
won't be able to if I can't change your mind.
After all, I'm an actress who belongs to Baekdu Films .
I can't...
be against it.
If it's what you really want, that is.
You need my help?
What do you mean, exactly?
I heard that you're debating whether to direct the film or not.
I also know that you and Jung Ho don't see eye to eye.
If you decide to be in charge of "Sad Dream",
I'll do everything in my power to help you.
Why are you doing all this?
I'll give you my answer after hearing the reason.
It's obviously because of Jung Ho and that girl, In Kyung.
I want to see how they lose everything.
Pardon me?
I'm here to take both of them down.
I'd love it if you can help me.
If you do,
I'll give you what you want.
What I want?
Baekdu Films.
I know that you're coveting it.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
You didn't marry Hee Ae...
to work as a mere film director who belongs to Baekdu Films, did you?
From what I know, you're a pretty ambitious guy.
This woman.
What is she really thinking?
I'll make you the president of Baekdu Films.
We'll kick Jung Ho out of the company.
(Baekdu Films)
Here.
Are you...
ready to tell me your decision?
I'll sign the contract.
Great.
You know the importance of keeping work separate from personal life.
Oh, right.
Mr Cha has also decided to join us for this project.
Didn't you say that you don't want to work on this film?
I changed my mind after speaking with Ms Lee.
Aren't you going to sign the contract?
Are you hesitating because of Mr Cha?
No.
Not at all.
All right. We're a team now.
Ms Kang.
I have high hopes for you.
I look forward to working with you.
I won't disappoint you.
I'll do my best.
Seo Yeon.
Mr Lim, I'll meet you there.
Okay.
Is this about what kind of ruse I'm planning? Don't be so predictable.
I don't even need to ask because it's so obvious.
So you're the head of Yidojeonyoung's Korean branch.
Did you use Chairman Lee's money to get that position?
- Maybe. - Seo Yeon.
Just deal with me if you're holding a grudge against me.
No matter what it is that you're scheming,
you won't be able to have it your way.
Are you trying to scare me so that I don't bother Ms Kang?
My goodness.
You sound so vicious.
I'm so terrified.
Don't bother someone who didn't even do anything wrong. You know...
that we're already over.
You and I are over,
but I'm still holding a grudge against her.
You just watch.
See how I wreak my anger on her and destroy her.
"The signatory is not allowed to date..."
"or get married for one year..."
"and makes a solemn promise that she will not get involved..."
"in any rumours or scandals."
I...
promised.
(Queen Salon)
So Lee Seo Yeon showed up as the head of the Korean branch,
and you still went ahead and signed the contract?
Yes.
That shouldn't stop me from signing the contract.
What should I do with you?
She's clearly trying to take you down.
Are you saying that you walked into her trap yourself?
It could be a trap,
or it could give me wings to fly. You never know.
- What? - I'll turn it into a great chance.
I'll be sure...
to give a great performance in the film.
All right, then. Show them what you can do and go to Hong Kong...
No. The film's target market is the entire Asia,
so it'll lay foundation for you to become Asia's top actress.
Best of luck. I trust that you'll be able to do a great job.
You learned from me, you know.
Don't be intimidated by Lee Seo Yeon. Just show her what you can do.
Okay.
I'll be sure to show her.
Anyway, Jung Ho...
must've been upset and stressed out today.
Did you try to make him feel better?
I...
signed the contract, you know.
Did I ask you if you two are dating? I just asked if you consoled him.
The fact that you signed the contract today...
must've made him feel as if he was rejected by you.
That alone must've been very upsetting for him,
but he also found out that his ex-wife was behind all of it.
I bet he's hurt and devastated now.
I can't do anything for him,
so please try to console him...
- in my place. - Why should I? My goodness.
I don't want to.
What brings you here?
You rarely knock.
I should behave myself and try not to get on your nerves today.
Let's head out. You probably need someone to drink with today.
It's okay.
I have a lot of work to do.
Are you actually busy with work?
Or are you just pretending to be busy?
Is In Kyung all right?
She must've been surprised to see Seo Yeon today.
Yes. She was probably as surprised as you were.
But she's trying to be strong and brave,
so don't worry about her.
I can't stop worrying.
I saw the spiteful, vindictive look in Seo Yeon's eyes.
I could tell that she's determined to take us down.
Even if that is the case, In Kyung won't let herself be a victim.
You know her well.
She'll handle everything wisely.
Frankly, I'm more worried about you.
- Me? - Because of the contract,
In Kyung won't be able to date for a year...
since the film's release date. I'll be the only one by her side,
and she'll be as lonely as me.
But how about you?
Pardon me?
I'll probably wait for her.
But I won't be lonely.
I'll stay by In Kyung's side...
and root for her while waiting for her.
I knew you'd say that.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
She can't be with you while she's bound by the contract,
but she also can't date anyone else for that matter.
Sorry?
Gosh. Ms Hong, please.
Be positive. That's why I'm telling you this.
This is a huge, risky project.
I hope you started it knowing the risks involved in it.
Of course. Please don't worry.
I'll be sure to get what I want.
Let me ask you one thing.
Are you...
doing all this because you're still not over Jung Ho?
Dad, please. You don't know how your own daughter is?
I just want to make sure that you're over him.
Since we're already talking about this, tell me about your plan.
The film, "Sad Dream".
What's your plan for it?
The film will be a huge failure.
Then Baekdu Films won't even make a penny.
They'll actually have to pay the production cost and penalty,
which will put the company in great financial distress.
What?
I never had any intention of making this film become successful.
Jung Ho and that girl, In Kyung, will have to take...
responsibility for everything.
If that's you plan, I can't just sit and watch.
What are you going to do, then?
I should meet Tae Joon...
and lay the groundwork for your plan.
That way, we'll be able to take them down in one blow.
Frankly, we're not doing this to eat up one film production company.
- Is your target Baekdu Group ? - Yes.
The game has already begun, so let's go all the way to the end.
Seo Yeon, you handle Jung Ho.
I'll deal with Tae Joon.
Seung Joon.
You're so sound asleep.
Seung Joon.
Aunty...
had a stressful day.
There's this person who means a lot to me,
and I had to let go of his hand today.
If I hold his hand now,
I might not be able to stay strong.
I'm worried that I might want to keep leaning on him.
That's why I let go of his hand.
But...
I'm a little sad.
Will I...
be able to hold his hand again?
Will I be able to do that?
I wonder.
Gosh. The manager title is great and all,
but following In Kyung around will get me sick.
What are you doing now? Let go of me.
Choon Ja, let's talk.
I don't have anything to talk to you about.
You heard how I feel about you. I want to know what you think.
Come on. Tell me. What do you think of me?
What? You?
You're In Kyung's lovely brother.
- And? - What else am I supposed to say?
Will you keep pretending as if you don't know what I'm talking about?
All right.
Okay, fine.
To be honest,
the fact that you have a crush on me is nothing surprising.
Why do I say that? As you know, I'm very cute and lovely.
Yes, that is true.
Right. But the fact of the matter...
is that I think of you as my little brother.
I'm a guy, and you're a girl.
So do you have feelings for me or what?
Just get to the point.
I'm telling you that I don't think of you as a man.
We live together, so I hope we don't become awkward after this.
You get what I'm saying, right?
No, I don't.
So do you like me or not?
My goodness. How can you not get it?
What more do I have to say?
I don't think of you as...
What are you doing now?
Let go.
Don't say anything. No matter what you say,
I've already decided to like you.
Once I make up my mind, I don't get sidetracked, you know.
I've already decided to like you,
so I won't change my mind.
What... What did you just say?
You're pretty even when your face is squished like this.
Gosh.
What are you two doing here?
We didn't do anything.
What's the matter with her?
And why are you chuckling like that? What's so funny?
What do you mean? I wasn't chuckling.
Goodness gracious. Have both of them lost their minds or what?
Then your face will be in billboards at the cinemas in Hong Kong, right?
Oh, my. Congratulations, In Kyung.
You'll become a globally famous actress soon.
Congratulations, In Kyung. What if you become too famous soon?
The shoots haven't even started yet.
I have to work hard from now on.
Where is Seung Joon by the way?
He's sleeping. He had a lot of fun today, so he must be tired.
In Kyung, don't coddle Seung Joon too much.
Kids should be raised by their mums.
It's not good to have someone else coddle and look after them often.
You could be right.
Geum Soon, I'm sorry. I've been too...
Gosh, not at all.
It's fine, Ms Park.
It's really okay, Ms Park. Whenever Seung Joon...
is in In Kyung's arms, he doesn't stop smiling.
Still,
kids must be raised by their mums.
They're right, Mum. Seung Joon likes In Kyung, too.
That's all that matters.
Choon Ja, can you...
Can you pass me the kettle?
What?
Okay.
- Here it is. - Thanks.
You two.
Is something going on?
You two acted strange in the kitchen earlier, too.
Nothing is going on!
Please don't get any wrong ideas.
I'm off tomorrow, so I was asking her if there are any places...
I should check out tomorrow.
Han Soo, you're off tomorrow?
That's awesome. I'm behind on my deliveries, so I was going ask...
Young Soo's mum to babysit Seung Joon.
Then you should come to the hair salon with Seung Joon tomorrow.
I have some time in the afternoon.
I'll have a date with Seung Joon.
She loves kids so much.
She couldn't even hold the child she carried...
in her belly for 10 months because of me.
I'll be punished for sending her baby away like that.
I had no choice, though.
She can't raise a kid alone since she's not even married.
Cheol, this fool.
He said he works in construction and does odd jobs here and there.
I rarely see him these days.
Well, it's not like I can take care of him now.
I can't stop him from trying to make ends meet.
Gosh, it's so cold in here. Goodness.
I have to suffer like this because of that jerk, Cha Min Woo.
You just wait until I find your son.
I'll take revenge on you and get out of this misery.
(Queen Salon)
Hello, Ms Hong.
Seung Joon, Aunty In Kyung is here.
Seung Joon!
Who is this cute boy?
He's my nephew.
Ms Hong, may I step out briefly with Seung Joon?
You can't go anywhere.
You keep forgetting...
the fact that you're a famous actress.
People will recognise you right away because you're a star.
What will you do if something happens?
Please don't worry, Ms Hong. She has a bodyguard right here.
I can redo her makeup and make her look unrecognisable.
Ms Hong, please.
See? No one will know that she's the actress, Kang In Kyung.
Are you really going to be okay?
I need to be able to let it go and have fun like this once in a while.
I'll be sure to bring her back safe and sound.
Please don't worry, Ms Hong.
All right, then.
Your brother will protect you, so I shouldn't worry.
Have fun.
Sweetie, have a good time with your aunt.
I'll see you later.
Let's go.
Come on. Let's go.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
In 1, 2, 3!
Let's have fun.
Gosh, she brought that boy here?
She probably wants him by her side all the time.
Yes. She's obviously like that because she's his mum.
What should we do? Here we go!
Seung Joon, you can walk so well now.
Are you happy that all of us are out like this?
Gosh, coming downtown and getting fresh air like this...
is making me feel rejuvenated.
We should pick up some snacks for Seung Joon.
Seung Joon, what do you feel like eating?
There's a famous donut shop nearby.
Seung Joon, shall I get you some donuts?
Seung Joon walked too much today.
I'll stay with him.
Choon Ja, go with Han Soo.
Just with Han Soo?
Are you going to be okay, In Kyung? I can go alone.
I'll be fine. No one can recognise me.
All right. We'll be quick.
- Choon Ja, let's go. - No.
Come on.
Seung Joon, let's go over there.
Isn't that Kang In Kyung, the actress who was in "Mask"?
- Where? - I think it's her.
Excuse me. Are you Kang In Kyung, the actress in "Mask"?
No, I'm...
- It is her. - My gosh!
Ms Kang, could I please get your autograph?
- Me, too. - Please give me your autograph.
- Here. - Me, too. I'd love one, too.
Kang In Kyung?
- I'm a huge fan of yours. - I'd love your autograph, too.
- Please give me your autograph. - It's Kang In Kyung.
- I'd love one, too. - Can I get your autograph?
- You're so pretty. - I'd love your autograph.
- You're so gorgeous. - She's really stunning.
- Please give me your autograph. - Can I please get your autograph?
- She's so beautiful. - I'd love to get your autograph.
- Right here, please. - Can I get your autograph?
- Excuse me. - Ms Kang.
- Ms Kang. - I'm a huge fan of yours.
- Seung Joon. - I'd like your autograph, too.
Seung Joon!
- You're so pretty. - Seung Joon!
- Seung Joon... - In Kyung.
- I'd love your autograph. - I'd like one, too.
- Seung Joon! - Gosh, it's Kang In Kyung.
- She's so gorgeous. - I want your autograph.
- Just a moment, please. - I'd like your autograph.
- She'll get hurt. - Seung Joon.
She'll do it another time.
- We want your autograph! - Give us your autograph.
- Are you all right, In Kyung? - Han Soo.
Seung Joon. Seung Joon is gone.
My gosh!
I'm sure he hasn't gone too far yet. Let's look for him. Come on!
Seung Joon!
Seung Joon?
Seung Joon.
I'm sorry.
Seung Joon!
I couldn't follow them because my stomach started hurting suddenly.
Which way did they go?
Hold on a second.
Isn't that kid In Kyung's son?
Hey, aren't you...
Seung Joon!
Kid, your mum is here.
Seung Joon, are you all right?
Yes?
What are you doing right now?
What do you think? I was just trying to get to know him better.
I clearly warned you.
I told you that I'll report you to the police if I see you again.
How can you try to bother this kid?
I didn't bother anyone.
I saw him here alone, so I...
Who are you?
Pardon me? I'm nobody...
What brings you here, you pervert?
He was with Seung Joon.
Does that mean you were trying to kidnap him?
What are you talking about?
It looked like he got lost, so I was just keeping him company.
Gosh, this is so frustrating. Kid, you tell them the truth.
I'm not a bad person, right?
I don't even know what to say because I did nothing wrong. Gosh.
Where do you think you're going?
Seung Joon.
What's wrong?
Seung Joon, Seung Joon!
(Myeongil Hospital)
We gave him a shot, so his temperature will go down soon.
Is he all right otherwise? Is fever the only problem?
I'm a little worried because his body temperature is quite high,
but for now, let's just see what happens.
You can take him home if his temperature goes down.
I'll check on him later.
Thank goodness.
Seung Joon.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Earlier today, I saw In Kyung...
with her brother and that girl, Bae Choon Ja.
They were hanging out downtown together with that kid.
- What about it? - Sorry?
She wouldn't have done it if that kid wasn't her son.
As a famous actress, why would she take that kid in broad daylight...
So?
That kid got lost, so I helped him find them,
but they accused me of attempting to kidnap him.
I told you to bring evidence to prove that he's my son.
I never asked you to kidnap him.
Please leave.
- Pardon me? - Get out.
Okay.
All right.
Geum Soon says that he's her nephew,
but In Kyung looks after that kid as if he's her own son.
Why am I getting a bad feeling about this whole thing?
(Talent Contract, Actor: Kang In Kyung of Baekdu Films)
I worked hard to land this opportunity.
I can't give up just because Ms Lee is the head of their Korean branch.
Nam Jung Ho.
Why did you come all the way here?
What are you trying to do?
Mr Nam?
What's taking them so long?
My gosh.
You guys are finally back. What about Seung Joon?
- How is he? - His temperature went down.
He's under doctor's care now, so he'll recover soon.
Gosh, I'm so relieved.
I was so worried thinking that it could be something serious.
By the way, where's In Kyung? Didn't you guys come home together?
She's speaking with the president of Baekdu Films outside now.
The president of Baekdu Films?
He came here to see her at this late hour?
- What's going on? - Gosh, don't.
What are you trying to do? Don't interrupt them, Mum.
Did...
something happen?
No. I didn't see you at the office today,
so I was worried that something might have happened to you.
I didn't even realise that I came all the way here until I got here.
I was just going to leave quietly, but you caught me like this.
In Kyung.
Is everything okay?
Yes.
My nephew is ill,
so I was at a hospital.
Nephew?
You mean Geum Soon's nephew, right?
- Is he very sick? - Yes.
He has a high fever.
I went out with him today,
but he got all scared.
I feel as though I got him sick. I feel horrible.
You seem so worried and anxious.
He'll be fine. Don't worry too much.
You must be tired from looking after him all day.
You should go in now.
In Kyung.
I'm going to come here from time to time...
to see you like this.
I'm going to visit you whenever I miss you.
Mr Nam.
If people see you...
doing this, they could get the wrong idea.
I'll deal with that.
I won't cross the line and make people get the wrong idea.
There's nothing wrong with me worrying about an actress...
who belongs to my company.
I'll keep it within acceptable bounds,
so please let me do it.
- But... - You look...
exhausted right now.
Go in and get some rest.
I should get going now.
Poor thing. I can't believe he threw up everything he ate.
I know.
Seung Joon needs fresh clothes to change into.
I hope In Kyung doesn't have any trouble finding his clothes.
I told her which drawer they're in, so it won't be hard...
That drawer.
In Kyung shouldn't open it.
What?
What's wrong with that drawer?
There is...
Seung Joon's photo in that drawer.
If In Kyung sees it...
Seung Joon...
Are you serious?
I should take Seung Joon's clothes...
as well as fresh clothes for Geum Soon and Chil Bong.
This is Perky's cardigan.
Gosh, Geum Soon.
She said she got rid of everything so that I can forget.
I can't believe she has kept it here.
This is from when Seung Joon was three months old.
But that's...
Why is Seung Joon...
wearing Perky's cardigan in this photo?
In Kyung.
Geum Soon.
What is this?
Why is Seung Joon wearing Perky's cardigan?
Geum Soon.
Who is Seung Joon?
By any chance...
Is Seung Joon...
my Perky?
