(Episode 58)
Someone like you can't even dare to touch me. Do you understand?
You're wrong.
You won't be able to protect anything you have now.
Everything you've earned in such a shameful, pathetic way...
and all of those things you've been trying so hard to protect.
You'll end up losing all of them in a flash.
I'll be sure to make it happen.
So...
don't you dare try to take my son. If you do, I will...
destroy both you and your life.
Mr Nam.
In Kyung, are you all right? Did you get injured at all?
Gosh, you're bleeding!
Sir!
- Sir. - Are you all right?
- Sir, are you okay? - In Kyung, are you okay?
- Are you all right, Sir? - In Kyung.
- I'm fine. - How did it happen?
- What's going on? - What happened?
I'm okay.
My gosh, what happened?
It's nothing serious. I'm fine.
In Kyung. You're okay, right?
Yes.
Mr Nam.
I think you should go see a doctor.
I'm really okay. It's just a little scrape.
Let me take a quick look at it.
Well...
Goodness.
You should go see a doctor. The wound is pretty deep.
It's fine, In Kyung.
I can't let you be stubborn about this.
Let me disinfect it for you at least.
If it gets infected,
I'll...
feel so bad.
Thank you.
It looks like they're taking a quick break.
I guess you'll have to wait a little to take photos.
Then shall I start with the interview?
Well... Sure.
- Mr Park. - My gosh, Mr Cha.
- Hello. - It's been a long time.
Why does everyone on set seem so tense?
Is there a problem?
Oh, yes.
There was a little accident.
Let's do the interview in Mr Nam's office.
Do you mean Mr Nam Jung Ho?
I'm not exactly a fan of his.
Mr Park.
If you can put aside the hard feelings you have,
you might be able to take a photo for a big scoop.
Go ahead. I'll meet you there.
All right. I'll see you there, then.
What is going on? Explain this situation.
Well... The lead actress, Ms Kang, left the set.
We're waiting for her now.
Did she take off in the middle of the shoot?
She had to.
Your husband...
Sorry. Your ex-husband got injured while trying to save her.
The two of them practically shot a film here.
A very romantic one, I must say.
They kept asking each other if they got injured.
They worried about each other for a while and disappeared together.
They were looking at each other in such a loving, caring way.
Watching them literally made me blush.
Where is Ms Kang now?
Thank goodness the wound isn't deeper than this.
If your injury was more serious,
I would've been so distressed.
Well, I just meant...
that I would've felt so apologetic.
I would've been distressed if you got injured.
This happened because of me. I'm sorry.
And...
thank you.
Stop it. You're making me feel bad.
(Office of the President)
Gosh, I'm so annoyed.
Do I really have to see Mr Nam today?
By the way, how did it happen?
Those boxes wouldn't have fallen out of nowhere.
I'm not sure.
By any chance,
- is it Mr Cha again? - No.
It was purely just an accident. That's all.
This war is between me and him.
I don't want to cause you any trouble.
I don't want this to happen again.
That wound.
Be careful not to touch it, okay?
Ms Kang.
It must've been very scary for you.
- Are you all right? - Thanks to you,
- I'm totally fine. - Really?
Let me know if you don't feel well enough for the shoot.
I can let you go home anytime.
If you talk like that again,
you'll be hit with something else next time, not those boxes.
Don't you worry.
I feel fine.
Mr Cha.
You shouldn't talk about letting me go home that easily.
You obviously know that so many crew members work so hard for one shoot.
Don't try to use me as an excuse like that.
It makes you look irresponsible.
You saw that you can't get away with your childish pranks, right?
Stop acting like a kid.
I'm home!
Seung Joon!
Seung Joon is right here!
Seung Joon, did you have a good day?
Goodness. In Kyung used to call my name first when she got home.
Now, she's all about Seung Joon.
From looks to personality, he surely outdoes you in every aspect.
- In Kyung, you're home. - Yes.
Something smells delicious.
In Kyung, you must've had a long day.
It looks like you've been having a long day yourself.
We made pancakes and ordered some rice cakes.
Let's eat together when the rice cakes arrive.
It sounds delicious. Don't you think so, Seung Joon?
Thank goodness the wound isn't deeper than this.
If your injury was more serious,
I would've been so distressed.
Goodness.
Even though this hurts,
I can't stop chuckling.
- Oh, my. - Look at that.
- In Kyung, you're so strong. - Good work.
Nicely done.
By the way, you two don't even have to pay rent, thanks to In Kyung.
Shouldn't you be thanking her?
Of course. We should thank her at least 10 times.
In Kyung. Thanks to you, we can now start...
saving up to buy a house down the road.
I'm so happy to be able to save up for a house.
- Thanks a lot. - Stop it, Geum Soon.
You've helped me so much.
I still feel indebted to you.
I wouldn't have been able to get through those days without you.
We were able to sign a long-term lease because of your savings,
but you just watch. I'm going to buy a house for our family.
Okay. Let's work hard so that we can buy a house.
Choon Ja, you should also stop buying all of those mini skirts...
and start saving money for your wedding.
Don't you worry. I'm going to marry a guy who owns a flat.
What?
A guy who owns a flat?
I have no idea who will become your mother-in-law,
but having a daughter-in-law like you must be so frustrating.
Then I should find a guy who owns a flat...
but doesn't have a mother, don't you think?
Oh, dear. Look at you, Seung Joon. You're loving the rice cake.
Seung Joon, give one piece to your favourite person here.
Who's your favourite person?
Is that even a question?
Of course he'll give it to Geum Soon because she's his mum.
Oh, my.
My gosh.
That was so cute.
Look at you, Seung Joon.
He must like his aunty more than his mum.
Thanks, Seung Joon.
(Secret Love Affair with an Actress)
How did this happen?
What is going on between the two of you?
It's just a misunderstanding.
How can you say that after getting this photo taken?
There was an accident on the set,
and Mr Nam saved me.
He got his hand injured because of it, so I disinfected his wound.
So?
Are you saying that there's nothing going on between you two?
Yes.
As I told you in the past,
we just work together. That's all.
Regardless of what happened, you two got this photo taken...
at Baekdu Films. Do you think it's acceptable?
I should've been more careful. It's my fault.
I'll take care of it quickly so that it doesn't affect the film.
If this affects the film in any way,
I won't let it slide. Both of you...
will have to take responsibility for it. Got it?
Yes, I understand.
Yes, Sir.
(Secret Love Affair with an Actress)
Kang In Kyung.
I warned you not to be cheeky with me.
Hello?
Oh, Mr Park.
I see that you took my advice and scored a scoop.
I actually want to write a follow-up article...
and would like to ask you a bunch of questions...
regarding the relationship between Mr Nam and Ms Kang.
I have known both of them for a long time.
In the follow-up article, I want to reveal their names...
and publish it with a photo that clearly shows their faces.
Then pick a time and location and let me know.
Okay.
Kang In Kyung.
You already fell.
I'll be sure to trample all over you this time.
(Saechang)
This scandal about Jung Ho and In Kyung.
Is it your doing?
No.
Had it been my plan,
I wouldn't have ended it with just a photo.
Anyway, she committed a breach of contract,
so she'll have to pay for the consequences.
It looks like the universe is on your side.
Things like this are happening without you having to lift a finger.
I have to make this opportunity worthwhile for me.
All right.
There she is.
- It's Kang In Kyung. - Let's go.
Ms Kang and Mr Nam.
- Please say a few words. - Ms Kang.
- Is it true? - You can't do this here.
- Hey, don't push. - Ms Kang.
- Mr Nam. - Please say a few words.
Enough is enough! This is too much.
Ms Kang, is it true that you and Mr Nam are dating?
When did you start seeing Mr Nam?
- Ms Kang! - Tell us!
Don't say anything. I'll take care of everything.
- Please answer our questions. - Ms Kang!
It's misinformation.
Our official statement will be released soon.
- Please tell us more. - Mr Nam!
- Mr Nam! - Sir, please come this way.
- Ms Kang. - I apologise.
- Gosh, you can get injured. - Ms Kang, Ms Kang!
- I'm sorry. - Mr Nam.
- Mr Nam. - Please answer our questions.
You've been put...
in a difficult situation because of me.
I'm sorry.
Things just took a wrong turn. You have nothing to apologise for.
Don't apologise unless you want to make me feel bad.
I think I should meet that reporter in person.
No. You shouldn't act on it yet.
For now, it's better for the company to deal with it.
I'll get an article published through another newspaper,
so don't worry.
Okay.
How's your hand by the way?
Thanks to your first-aid treatment, it's already starting to heal.
Aren't you glad that it's at least my left hand?
Am I glad?
Goodness. I'm happy to finally see you smiling.
- I've been so worried about you. - Mr Nam.
People won't be able to focus on the shoot today.
We should cancel today's shoot, right?
No.
I'll head to the set now.
I don't want to give up...
just because of that article.
My gosh, look who's here.
It's the actress in the scandal that broke out today.
Hello.
What's with you today? You're scaring me.
Ms Kang,
they picked a good photo of you.
Cha Min Woo.
That photo.
- Was it your ruse? - You just wait.
When it's completed,
it'll be the end of both you and Jung Ho.
It's not a bad photo,
but I would've smiled if I had known that I was being photographed.
I'll go get ready for the shoot.
Gosh, how shameless.
(Director: Cha Min Woo, "Sad Dream")
Scene 66, take 9.
Sin Hye,
please give up now.
What are you all doing right now?
Stop the shoot immediately.
What do you mean?
Gosh, look at those eyes.
She's livid.
(Secret Love Affair with an Actress)
Have some shame.
How can you be on set when a scandal like this broke out?
- Ms Lee. - Stop what you're doing...
and leave the set immediately.
As of now, you're no longer part of this project.
I beg your pardon?
She's out?
My gosh, I wasn't expecting such great news.
Does that mean I get to play the lead character now?
(Talent Contract for "Sad Dream")
Ms Kang.
You said that you read the contract carefully before signing it.
If so, how can you be on the set knowing what is going on?
- Do you have no conscience? - Nothing in that article...
is true.
How can you insist that it's a scandal based on that article?
Denying it alone is of no use.
Don't you know that what everyone believes to be true...
is considered as the truth?
I'll have to follow the terms stated in the contract.
Do you really want to cause trouble because of that stupid article?
If you're going to be like this, I won't be quiet, either.
We'll go to court.
Sure.
The article has already been published,
and people have been gossiping about it.
It has already affected the film negatively.
She's out. I'll ask her to pay the penalty for breaching the contact.
- Seo Yeon. - It's Ms Lee.
Please address me respectfully, Mr Nam.
All right.
Baekdu Films should also be prepared...
to compensate us for the production cost and pay the penalty.
Ms Kang, don't forget that the penalty you owe us...
is 10 times your prepayment.
What is happening?
Ms Hong.
I bet Seo Yeon has been waiting for this.
The film is one thing,
but I'm actually more worried about what's ahead.
It looks like there will be another article about you two.
Another article will come out?
I looked into it and found out that the reporter who wrote this...
is preparing a special article about you.
Special article... About me?
His article has become the talk of the town, so he probably wants...
to see if he can dig up dirt on your past.
Why did you get on that nasty reporter's radar?
I bet that reporter...
didn't start this alone.
- What do you mean? - I'm sure...
that someone tipped him off.
It was probably...
Cha Min Woo.
Cha Min Woo?
I have to do something. I should speak to him in person.
Yes, Mr Park.
The cafe near my office?
Sure. See you then.
It sounds like you're meeting up with Mr Park.
It's none of your business.
You've been kicked out of the project, so stop being so nosy.
It's you, isn't it? You must be the one who crafted this scandal.
Gosh, you're the one who was careless and got caught.
How dare you put a blame on me?
You started this mess,
so you have to clean it up.
- I told you that I didn't do it. - Are you aware that Mr Park...
is working on a special article about me?
- Special article? - That's right.
I heard that he wants to dig up dirt on my past and expose everything.
What do you think he'll write about you in that article?
What?
He'll probably write about Seung Joon, too.
I'll be fine with it.
I can let go of everything and just live as Seung Joon's mum.
But your case is different. Isn't the article going to...
completely destroy your life?
You think he'll write about the kid, too?
Yes.
He'll be determined to dig up everything scandal-worthy.
Do you think you'll be able to get out of it?
I've actually been thinking about it.
If he's going to expose everything anyway, I should...
just confess the truth myself so that I can save face.
Have you lost your mind?
You don't want that, right? It must terrify you.
Then you better make sure it doesn't get out.
Otherwise, I'll actually lose my mind.
A special article about Kang In Kyung?
Yes, it's true. I'm working on it at the moment.
I see.
I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but it looks like you'll have to work on a different article.
I beg your pardon?
- What do you mean by that? - You'll need to write a correction,
stating that the article you wrote contained false information.
Mr Cha.
- What are you talking about now? - The two of them...
are not dating.
This isn't what you told me when we spoke on the phone.
I couldn't get into detail as I thought we should talk in person.
Do you seriously expect me to believe that there is...
nothing going on between the two of them?
Yes.
I know them better than anyone else.
Ms Kang is...
very responsible, and she knows to separate work from personal life.
The same goes for Mr Nam.
Neither of them is reckless enough to cross the line...
at their workplace. I can guarantee that.
So please write a correction...
- as well as an apology. - Mr Cha.
The film, "Sad Dream",
is co-produced by Korea and Hong Kong,
which means it's a very meaningful project for our country.
As the director of the film, I cannot turn a blind eye...
to an article written with such malicious intent.
If you don't publish a correction,
we'll have to take legal action against you.
You guys better tell me the truth.
Is In Kyung seeing someone these days?
Ms Park, what are you talking about all of a sudden?
Oh, I think I know what you're talking about.
Ms Park, are you asking because of the article in the newspaper?
Did you hear about the scandal between In Kyung and Mr Nam?
Mr Nam?
Mr Nam. Isn't he the one who came by a while ago...
and also sent the mirror for In Kyung the other day?
Yes, that's right. He's the president of Baekdu Films.
Has he never been married?
Well, he's single now. He got divorced.
No, Mum. Let me explain.
He got divorced?
Are you saying that In Kyung is seeing a divorced man?
Has she lost her mind or what?
They're not dating, Ms Park. People are writing gossipy articles...
about her because she has gotten famous.
Geum Soon is right. When celebrities become popular,
reporters write articles in order to create gossip and slander them.
- Aren't I right? - Yes, of course.
We all need to learn not to react to articles like that from now on.
Don't even worry about it, Ms Park.
People come up with all sorts of gossip about popular rookie actors.
What if In Kyung won't be able to get married because of this?
Goodness. Ms Park, why are you even worried about it?
A president of a film production company is a great catch.
He's good-looking, and he doesn't have any kids.
- What's more? He's rich. - You little...
Shut it, will you?
You're such a handful.
What is the problem? Everything I said is right.
By the way, In Kyung has to date secretly because of her contract.
What's she going to do now?
Don't worry. She'll just have to deny it.
Then she'll be able to keep seeing him secretly.
You're honestly so simple-minded.
Goodness. Love knows no borders or age.
Why are you complicating it so much?
Did you just say "age"?
You said that love knows no age, right?
When did I say that?
When it comes to romantic relationships, age is so important.
You're so cute today.
What did you just say?
Seung Joon, have fun at the hair salon today.
I'll come pick you up after my shoot, okay?
Seung Joon, you must be tired.
You had to leave home early because of your aunt.
- I have a shoot tonight, right? - Yes.
What should I do? I'm going to miss you, Seung Joon.
My goodness. People will think that you're his mum.
That's not an appropriate thing to say. She's not even married.
We'll see you later.
See you later.
Let's go.
- Have a good day. - You, too.
So she leaves home and goes home with that kid,
but he stays at the hair salon while she works.
So no one will be...
able to find him if I hide him here.
(Script Review)
I heard that you asked the reporter for a correction. Is it true?
Yes, it's true.
What are you thinking?
I'm pretty sure I communicated my goal clearly to you from the get-go.
I told you that I'm in this to take those two down.
I thought that you and I were on the same page. Was I wrong?
No, we still share the same goal.
However,
I'm not okay with this.
I cannot stand the film being affected by this...
as the director of the film.
You've suddenly gotten so passionate about the film.
Did seeing the photo in the article...
conjure up the feelings you used to have towards your ex-girlfriend?
No way.
I erased those useless feelings from my mind a long time ago.
Is that right?
Then I'm relieved.
I'm still so shocked to get stabbed in the back like this...
by someone whom I thought to be my ally.
Mr Cha. By the way, you're aware that I'm the one who pushed...
for your script for this project, right?
What you just said...
sounds like you want to kick me out of the project.
I'm just warning you to be careful so that it doesn't have to happen.
What is this mess?
I can't believe I was forced into helping In Kyung like that.
I think that things will be resolved more smoothly than I expected.
Mr Park said that he'll publish a correction.
Along with an apology, of course.
Does that mean...
I can go back to the shoot?
Yes. I also spoke to Ms Lee.
She won't bother you with the contract again.
I'm glad.
I'm so happy that everything is resolved.
But...
it looks like Mr Cha is the one...
who sorted out the situation.
Really?
I'm not sure what motivated him to help us, though.
It's not sitting right with me.
People talking...
about our film this way...
would also affect his reputation.
That's probably what he was worried about.
Well... Anyway,
reporters won't try to dig up information...
on you or In Kyung any more, so it's a good thing.
We can't relax, though.
There's no guarantee that they'll listen to me again next time.
I'm starting to feel more anxious now.
Right, I get it. If reporters are determined,
the whole world will find out about that kid in no time.
That's exactly why I don't think we can delay this any further.
Did you look into what I asked you to find out?
Yes. That boy didn't even leave...
the house for a while, so I've been very frustrated.
But he finally started to step out of the house.
In Kyung started leaving him at the hair salon on her way here.
She picks him up on her way home.
Really?
What's your plan?
I can't really go in and steal the kid.
If we can't come up with anything else,
we should kidnap him.
Pardon me?
(Queen Salon)
You rarely call me. What's going on?
I wanted to speak to you about the incident.
I think we should talk in person.
I've also been meaning to visit you in person.
- I can come tomorrow... - No, it's okay.
I'm actually heading out now to take care of something in your area.
I'll stop by on my way.
I'll see you there. I'll be there soon.
Do you mean... Now?
Well...
All right. See you soon.
What should I do? If I'm not careful,
Chairman Nam will end up seeing Seung Joon.
Thank goodness.
Take Seung Joon and leave here immediately.
Chairman Nam is on his way here now.
Chairman Nam?
Okay, I'll leave now.
Seung Joon, let's go.
Come here.
What is going on?
Why are you here?
Can we talk?
I don't have anything to talk to you about. Get out of my way.
What are you doing?
- Let go of his hand. - I can't.
This kid...
is coming with me.
What did you just say?
Is that you, Min Woo?
