(Episode 55)
Choon Ja, are you feeling sick?
You usually eat so much. Why are you eating like a bird today?
Shall I get you more rice?
Judging from how he's worried about me, I'm convinced that he likes me.
Then why is it that he has been so cold to me lately?
I honestly can't figure him out. This is so frustrating.
Here.
Eat more.
Make up your mind already.
You're confusing me.
Am I confusing you by telling you that you should eat more?
The oysters looked so fresh, so I bought some...
on my way home from work this morning.
Don't give it all to Seung Joon.
Make sure you eat enough, too.
I know that you like oysters, too.
Let's eat them together.
Mum.
What do you think about quitting your milk delivery job?
The cold morning temperatures can be bad for your health.
I can still handle it. I don't want to lounge around and do nothing.
I should try to earn money while I can.
Listen to In Kyung, Mum.
Both In Kyung and I earn money now.
I don't want to be a mum who lives off of her children.
I'm going to continue earning my own spending money.
Goodness, your spending money isn't the issue here.
You need to maintain your dignity since you're a famous actress' mum.
What does that have to do with my job?
Is that what you think, too?
No.
I like the fact that you're working, but I...
want you to just look after Seung Joon...
and try to take it easy.
So is it because of Seung Joon?
That suspicious-looking guy came by and took his photo a while ago.
I heard that jerk, Cha Min Woo, also came by the other day.
- You're worried, aren't you? - Yes.
I'm worried.
Who knows when either of them will show up here again?
Right now, you're the only one who can...
look after Seung Joon.
Well, he won't try to harm Seung Joon.
Even animals don't harm their own offspring.
I know.
But...
he...
You know what? I'm more worried that he might want to take Seung Joon.
That'd be crazy.
I know. It makes no sense.
However, Seung Joon is his son.
He'll probably want to take him if he finds out the truth.
What if he shows up and demands that we should give Seung Joon to him?
That's what I'm most worried about.
I will not give Seung Joon to him.
He does not deserve to be Seung Joon's father.
Seung Joon is my child. He's my son.
He won't have the audacity to make such a request.
We'll just raise Seung Joon well.
In Kyung. By the way,
are you...
really okay with working with Cha Min Woo on an ongoing basis?
- He'll cause trouble for you. - Don't worry, Mum.
I won't be able to do anything if I keep avoiding him.
No matter what he does, I'll fight against him.
I have to do that to keep Seung Joon safe.
I can do this by myself, Chil Bong.
Even if it's not a lot of help, I should give you a hand...
so that you can get a little break.
While I'm working, I should stay focused and not think about breaks.
You work way too hard, though.
I feel so unburdened and refreshed, just like this squeaky-clean plate.
- Sorry? - Well...
Ever since we brought Seung Joon,
I've been feeling so anxious about In Kyung...
and Ms Park finding out who he really is.
Now that they know, I feel so relieved and unburdened.
I agree. I'm also glad and relieved that the tension...
between the two of them is gone.
Now, we just have to take good care of Seung Joon.
We'll raise him well.
He's so special to us, you know.
Of course. He's like family to us.
Is it because I've known him since he was an infant?
I feel as if he's my real nephew. No, I mean...
I feel as if he's my own son.
You should get going. Mr Chairman will leave shortly.
Okay. Don't work too hard, Honey.
My gosh.
I just came to get a glass of water.
Oh, right.
Chairman Nam will leave a little later than usual today.
Have a good day.
He probably didn't hear anything, right?
It doesn't look like he heard what we were talking about.
I'm not sure.
He probably didn't hear us.
We should be careful when we talk about Seung Joon here.
Why do they have to be careful?
Could it be...
because of me?
(Baekdu Films, Filming Set)
My gosh.
Why did this sleeve rip like this?
Gosh, I have no idea.
It was fine when I checked this dress earlier.
- It wasn't ripped earlier? - No.
Someone...
slit this with a knife on purpose.
What? What did you just say?
Gosh, you're right.
The shoot will begin shortly. Who did such a horrible thing?
Right now, we don't have time to find out who did it.
We have to solve this problem as soon as possible.
The shoot is starting. Ms Kang, please get ready.
Wait right here. I'm going to go find a needle.
We don't have time to fix the dress.
If the shoot gets delayed, they'll use it as an excuse...
to threaten me that they'll cancel the contract.
Gosh, then what should we do?
Shall I try to secure the sleeve with safety pins?
In Kyung, what are you doing?
If any shoot is delayed due to the actress Kang In Kyung's fault,
she will take sole responsibility, compensate for all losses...
and agree to annul the contract.
One of the wardrobe assistants took care of it.
Mr Cha, isn't my idea so clever?
Just get ready for the shoot now.
If we're talking like this, it'll look too obvious.
We won't be able to start the shoot now anyway. Why should I bother?
That's...
What is she wearing?
What are you thinking?
You can't change your costume without consulting me first.
In this scene,
Sin Hye dreams about becoming...
a rich girl and meeting Chang Joon.
Her emotions are a little exaggerated on the script,
so I thought that her costume should also be a bit over the top.
Oh, my. It looks pretty good.
I like this better than the original costume.
Mr Cha, are you going to let her wear that?
It looks too luxurious.
Let's start the shoot, everyone.
I was worried, but she's handling everything so well.
I must say that In Kyung is...
such a brave and strong person.
Yes. She'll stay strong and do a great job.
She's my sister, you know.
Did you just say that someone ruined In Kyung's dress on purpose?
Who is it? Who did it?
That I don't know. We didn't actually see it happening.
I'm amazed at how resourceful In Kyung is.
It worked out today, but what if things like this keep happening?
Goodness. She shouldn't have agreed to be in Cha Min Woo's film.
What can we do, though? Both In Kyung and Cha Min Woo...
are putting their everything on the line for this film.
By the way, why is Mr Nam visiting the set today?
He's obviously here for a reason.
You don't need to know.
As a manager, it's my job to protect my actress.
Hence, I must know.
- What are you talking about? - About the contract.
Because of it, In Kyung has to stay single until the filming is done.
She can neither date nor get married. She can't be involved...
in any sort of scandals, either.
She definitely can. She just can't get caught.
It's easier said than done.
I have an idea.
Really?
What you're doing is much more preposterous than I expected.
I was just going to laugh it off and forget about it,
but that was absolutely ridiculous.
Gosh, you exhaust me.
Get out if you're here to talk about useless things.
Was it your idea to try to ruin the shoot like that?
Or was it Yoon Mi Hee's idea?
As the lead actress, you should've taken better care of your costume.
How dare you try to blame it on me?
You must be full of yourself now because I didn't cancel the shoot,
but know that I won't go easy on you any more.
If something like that happens again,
you won't be allowed in my set.
Who says you have such authority?
It looks like you keep forgetting...
the fact that I'm the female lead of "Sad Dream".
That is the case for now,
but you never know what can happen.
Mark my words, In Kyung.
You'll be kicked out of the project very soon.
You won't be able to find yourself in the posters and billboards.
- I'll be sure to make it happen. - Listen carefully, Cha Min Woo.
If you want to continue directing the film,
you better stop playing your childish games.
No matter what you do, you won't be able to take me down.
Do you still not see it?
The more vicious you become, the stronger I get.
Is that right?
I look forward to finding out...
whether you can become stronger or not.
You might end up in the gutter instead.
You're the one who is stuck in the gutter.
You just don't realise it now.
Is that so?
A location for the dating scene in "Sad Dream"?
Yes. There's this place that caught my eye.
It's seriously so amazing. I really want you to see it.
I don't even know what to say.
So you're asking me to come with you to a romantic date spot, right?
Two guys will go there together.
Oh, well...
It does sound a little awkward if you put it that way,
but I know for a fact that you'll love the location.
It'll help the film immensely, too.
Goodness.
My gosh! What brings you girls here?
My goodness! What a coincidence.
So is this the spectacular location...
you mentioned?
- Choon Ja. - It's a coincidence.
It really is a coincidence.
Aren't I right, Han Soo?
Of course! Choon Ja and I don't know anything about this, In Kyung.
We ran into each other like this,
so how about we sit down for a little while?
- Mr Nam. - Mr Nam, you're the man.
You made an excellent choice.
Coming here...
is making me reminisce my childhood.
I guess you used to play in playgrounds like this often.
Yes, I did.
I used to play in a playground after school until sundown.
I was impressed by how you handled the situation on the set today.
But you'll have to put up with more going forward.
It looks like Mr Cha...
is planning to ruin your future.
I told you.
I'm going to stay strong and do a great job.
I know.
But...
thinking that you'll be fighting against him all by yourself...
breaks my heart.
I'm not alone.
I have someone who is rooting for me.
Get me down already.
I think I'm getting motion sickness.
I said I'll get you down if you call me Sweetie.
Stop being so ridiculous.
You don't want to do it? Then just stay up there.
- Isn't the air so fresh up there? - You little...
I'm going to teach you a serious lesson.
How will you manage to come down with those short legs of yours?
Ouch, my buttocks...
I was stupid to get on this seesaw to begin with.
Gosh, I'm in so much pain.
My goodness.
It's nothing difficult. Why are you taking forever to come down?
Sweetie.
We're good now, right? Get me down already.
All right. Keep calling me like that.
Gosh, Choon Ja. Are you all right?
If you play another prank like this, I'll give you a taste of...
You can't do that to your sweetie.
Goodness gracious. You're seriously driving me crazy.
Hey, look at those two.
Don't they look so lovely together?
In Kyung looks so happy now.
Gosh, I'm serious.
It really happened.
It's a glass bead.
By any chance,
did you also use to like the glass bead game?
I am a pro at it.
Really? Then do you want to bet?
What are we betting on?
The loser will grant the winner his or her wish.
All right.
It's your turn. If you can't get this inside that circle this time,
you'll have to admit that I won.
I'll be sure to get it in there this time.
I won. You have to grant me my wish.
I have to follow the rules.
Tell me your wish, then.
My wish is...
I'll tell you later. I want to save it for another time.
You can't do that.
Why can't I? I'm the winner, so I can do whatever I want.
Pardon me?
Here. Try it one more time.
All right, Seung Joon. Let's eat sweet potatoes.
Come here. Let me help you up. There we go.
What's that?
Who is that?
My goodness, that must be Cha Min Woo.
Gosh.
Why is that jerk lurking around here?
That psycho. How dare he show up here?
What do you want?
What are you doing here?
You must've gone insane. Otherwise, you wouldn't dare to show up here.
You haven't changed one bit. You're still reckless and thoughtless.
- What did you just say? - Is In Kyung home?
I'm here to speak with her.
Why do you need to speak with her?
Are you here to harass her again?
- Are you going to threaten her? - No, that's not why I'm here.
Don't lie to my face.
I clearly saw it in your eyes.
Tell me. Do you keep wanting to see him after seeing him once?
- Is that why you're here? - Why are you being like this?
How dare you raise your voice at me.
My anger won't go away even if you beg me on your knees.
I'm here to talk to her about work. What is your problem?
Work? Whatever.
I can see through your ruse.
I mean, you're the one who abandoned them.
What changed your mind? Is your greed making you want to snatch him?
You won't be able to. Don't even dream.
I will not let that happen for the life of me.
Snatch him?
What do you mean?
What are you worried about?
What do you think?
What's he saying?
Does he not know?
Leave immediately.
You better not show up here ever again.
Seung Joon.
Goodness.
What should we do now?
Does he really not know anything?
Did I make a mistake?
What if he has caught onto it?
It's all right.
Everything will be okay.
I feel as if he's my real nephew. No, I mean...
I feel as if he's my own son.
I mean, you're the one who abandoned them.
What changed your mind? Is your greed making you want to snatch him?
So that little boy isn't Chil Bong's nephew,
and she's scared that I might take him.
Does that mean...
In Kyung lied to me?
If the baby didn't die and is still alive...
If that kid is actually my son...
Darn it.
Who can tell me the truth?
Cha Min Woo was here?
Yes. He kept looking at Seung Joon and hovering around,
so I went out and bit his head off.
Why did you do that? You should've just ignored him.
I was worried that he was here...
to harm or take Seung Joon.
I lost it momentarily.
Nothing happened, right?
What?
Well, actually...
I was really taken aback.
I think I made a mistake because of it.
What kind of mistake?
I asked him if he came to snatch what he abandoned.
I yelled at him about it. But...
I didn't say Seung Joon's name at all.
What should we do now?
Don't worry.
It'll be fine.
It'll be okay, right?
Judging from how he behaved as he was leaving,
I don't think he has figured it out.
He probably hasn't.
If he shows up here again,
just ignore him.
Okay. I'll be sure to do so.
You didn't get a good sleep again last night, right?
Won't you be too tired to work today?
I'll be okay.
Anyway,
I sprained my wrist a little while taking a shower earlier.
I'm not sure if I can drive today.
Where?
Is it here? Shouldn't you go see a doctor?
- It's not a serious injury. - What happened?
Min Woo sprained his wrist.
You shouldn't drive today.
What if it worsens the injury?
How bad is it?
It's not too bad. The pain is tolerable.
You're in the middle of the filming, so you can't risk anything.
Mr Heo, you should drive Min Woo's car today.
Pardon me?
Then what about you, Mr Chairman?
I'll leave with Mi Hee when she's ready.
That works out. Listen to Dad, Honey.
Thank you.
Thank you for your help today.
Please don't mention it. It's not a problem at all.
- I should get going now, Father. - Okay, have a good day.
Gosh, I'm so tired.
My goodness. Can't you knock...
Gosh, Ms Hong. What brings you here?
You're probably not here to see me.
You're wrong. I'm here to speak with you.
Me? Why?
Did you rip In Kyung's dress on the set?
What? You think I did it?
My gosh.
I don't even know what you're talking about now.
I'm sorry, but I can just picture you doing it.
It's one of the tricks you used to use in the past...
in order to bully other actresses I trained.
How can you be so evil?
You're still way too blunt for your own good.
You never hold back, and you always have to say everything on your mind.
I ran away from you because I couldn't stand it any more.
And you know what?
I have never...
regretted making that decision.
Really? I regretted so many times.
I've been asking myself why I worked so hard to train someone like you.
Someone like me?
Look, Ms Hong.
I wanted to take you down so badly when I first moved back to Seoul,
but In Kyung calmed me down.
You should really thank her.
Thank her? Are you kidding me?
Why should I? Why do I have to thank a Hick like her?
She has class...
unlike you. She's fundamentally different from you.
What did you just say?
Mi Hee.
From what I see,
I don't think you can go any higher than where you are now.
However, In Kyung will go to places you couldn't even dare to dream.
So...
don't you dare bother In Kyung!
I won. You have to grant me my wish.
What's wrong? Are your eyes stinging?
Did the eyeshadow get in your eyes?
No.
My goodness, what brings that woman here?
This must be Ms Kang's personal makeup room.
I see. It's nice.
Choon Ja.
Can you give us a moment?
Will you be all right?
Shall I bring someone?
No, it's okay. I can handle it.
It doesn't look like you're here to talk to me about the film.
What is it about?
I was going to wait until the next meeting,
but I'm quite impatient.
When I need to check something, I like to do it sooner than later.
What do you need to check?
I hope...
you haven't forgotten about the contract.
I strongly emphasised those clauses to you.
I'd appreciate it if you can cut to the chase.
You said you're impatient.
It looks like...
you had a great time with Mr Nam yesterday.
Are you talking about me...
going to check the filming location with him yesterday in the afternoon?
Filming location?
- So are you saying it was for work? - Yes.
We were checking out a possible filming location...
for Sin Hye and Chang Joon's date scene in the film.
Also, it wasn't just me and Mr Nam.
One of Baekdu Films' employees and my makeup artist came with us.
I see. So you're saying that it's fine because there were four of you.
You used the employee and your makeup artist as a cover.
If that's what you think,
why did you come here instead of going through the proper channels?
You're no longer Mr Nam's wife,
so you can't take things out on me any more.
I'm here to let you know...
that the contract wasn't written just to scare you...
and that I'm keeping a close eye on you.
Did you hire someone to tail me?
I'm disappointed in you.
I thought you'd be a little different.
I can't believe that's all you could come up with.
All right.
I kindly informed you in person,
so you should be more careful from now on.
That'd be the best for the film...
as well as for both of us.
(Queen Salon)
What do you mean?
I heard that Cha Min Woo summoned Chil Bong earlier.
Chil Bong?
Why?
Do you know the reason?
No. All I know is that he wanted to have a word with Chil Bong.
I called you because I thought you should know.
That's so odd.
Why is he summoning Chil Bong suddenly?
It's weird, right?
I'm getting a strange feeling, too.
I'm worried that he might ask Chil Bong about Seung Joon.
Where is Chil Bong now?
Where are they meeting?
I have to go pick up Mr Chairman.
You must be surprised that I wanted to meet with you out of the blue.
Pardon me?
Well, a little.
I mean, you've never done this before.
Right.
I wouldn't have asked you to meet with me if it wasn't a big deal,
but it's about something important.
Pardon?
Something important?
- What is it? - I know...
that your so-called nephew whom you adopted...
isn't your real nephew.
Pardon me?
What did you just say?
He bit the bait.
Until when were you going to fool me?
Did you actually think that you can bury a secret like that?
Well, it's... I mean...
What are you talking about now?
I don't know why you're accusing me of fooling you.
What is happening?
Did he find out everything?
Is he asking me these things knowing that Seung Joon is his son?
Please tell me the truth.
I'm talking about that little boy.
Heo Seung Joon.
By any chance, is he...
my...
Stop it.
Stop, Cha Min Woo.
