(3 years later, 1978)
The roses are so beautiful.
Not as beautiful as you.
I hope that I can be as happy as I am now for the rest of my life.
You will be because I'm here for you.
By the way, where's our baby?
Forget about our baby now.
Cut! Okay.
(Film "Endless Love")
Good work, Woo Jin.
- Thanks. You did great, too. - Good job.
I could feel your emotions escalating. It was awesome.
You were absolutely right.
In Kyung, how did you even come up with the idea?
I was hesitant because synchronous recording of audio is a bit risky.
When I used to record the audio in recording booths,
I always wished it could feel more realistic.
I thought that recording the audio during the shoot...
would allow us to capture the live emotions.
Impressive. Thanks to you,
"Endless Love" will mark a new era in the history of Korean cinema.
(Episode 77)
What was that about? Why was Woo Jin looking at you like that?
You better tell me the truth. Come on.
Choon Ja, please. We just work together, that's all.
What is going on? That's making it look even more suspicious.
Oh, no. I left my makeup box on the set,
which I treasure more than my life. I'll be right back.
Promise me that you'll wear these when you don't have any shoots.
You can't even accept a drink from me?
Thanks, Woo Jin.
I'm glad that it's still warm.
In Kyung, is something bothering you?
No.
Not at all. Someone just popped up on my mind.
Is he handsome?
- Pardon me? - The person who came to your mind.
Is he more handsome than me?
He was a warm-hearted person.
Like this.
So it is a guy.
I must say, I'm jealous.
Let's go for food together after the meeting.
The filming will end very soon.
How can you keep refusing to go for a meal with your co-star?
Woo Jin.
I'm really uncomfortable with the way you treat me.
With what, exactly?
You don't want to go eat with me? Or is it the fact...
- that I have a crush on you? - Woo Jin, I'm...
All right. Let's just have a meal together as colleagues.
We're working on the same film, you know.
That being said, are you free this evening?
I have to have dinner with my family today.
Then let's go for lunch together tomorrow.
I'll take that as a yes.
Everyone is ready for the meeting, Mr Cha.
All right. Let's go in.
- Yes, Sir. - Please go in.
(Meeting Room)
(Baekdu Films)
("Love and Hatred" Starring Yoon Mi Hee)
I'd like to submit "Love and Hatred"...
to Daehan Film Festival as a film that represents Baekdu Films.
Just a second.
We want to submit "Endless Love" to Daehan Film Festival, as well.
The filming is almost completed.
Will you be able to finish it by the submission deadline?
We only have one shoot left.
We don't need post-synchronisation, so we'll be able to edit it...
before the deadline.
We can't submit anything that isn't perfect.
This year, we should focus on Mr Cha's "Love and Hatred".
I completely agree.
You should just focus on making sure it draws large audiences.
What will you do if we don't even break even on that film?
I get that you directed it, but don't you think it's unfair...
that you're only supportive of "Love and Hatred", Mr Vice President?
You're right. I guess it can look like that.
Submit "Endless Love", too.
Let's see what happens.
Don't worry about the quality of the film. We did our very best.
Hard work doesn't always guarantee the best outcome,
- Ms Kang. - But...
it's very likely that hard work will yield the best outcome,
Mr Vice President.
He's really a piece of work.
I know. Mr Nam would never do something like that.
In Kyung, are you all right?
Of course.
Let's do a good job with the rest of the filming...
so that we can make sure the film is perfect.
(Vice President Cha Min Woo)
Mr Cha, are you really going to submit In Kyung's film...
to Daehan Film Festival?
Don't you know how bad that film will be?
I only said that because I couldn't say no to it without proper reason.
Right. They chose to do synchronous recording.
It won't allow them to effectively convey their emotions.
Oh, right. If you win the Best Director Award again,
Mr Hwang will recommend you as the next president to the board.
- Is that right? - Gosh, does that mean...
you'll finally become the president of Baekdu Films?
We don't know that yet.
Don't be so humble. You're certainly getting the award.
And Mr Hwang is a man of his word, so it will happen.
The position is vacant anyway. What's the problem?
By the way, is Jung Ho really not coming back?
Rumour has it that he'll come back soon now that he got his degree.
If he was planning on coming back, he would've come back already.
He'll probably settle down there.
(PR Director Nam Hee Ae)
Did the meeting go well?
Yes.
The submission form for Daehan Film Festival is ready, right?
Yes.
All of the required paperwork is ready.
(Film Submission for Daehan Film Festival)
Okay.
What about the press release for "Love and Hatred"?
It's all done, too. I just have to send it off to the media now.
I see that you've been working hard to promote your husband's film.
I've been working hard because it's our biggest project this year.
Hee Ae, don't you find this job stressful?
Working after being a stay-at-home mum for a long time must be hard.
Not at all. Staying at home all the time was more stressful...
because I felt extremely isolated.
Right.
Having to stay at home all the time was very stressful for me, too.
Then, shall we finalise the PR schedule now?
Sure.
So when will you be arriving in Korea?
I see. Take care of yourself. All right.
Was that Jung Ho? When is he coming back?
He said that it'll be soon,
but he didn't tell me the exact date.
He should've come to our wedding if he was coming back anyway.
How can he not come to his father's wedding?
I told him not to come.
He's busy with his studies. I didn't want to distract him.
Still, it hurts my feelings a little.
I can't help but think that he doesn't approve of me.
Don't be silly.
You told me that you'll retire after this film.
You'll keep the promise, right?
I promised you that I'll retire after we get married.
"Love and Hatred" will be the last film before my retirement.
Speaking of which...
Get me a present for my retirement. Please?
Present?
I want the Best Actress Award at Daehan Film Festival.
I can't do that because it goes against my integrity.
You'll obviously get the award if you deserve it.
Honey, please.
Just this once.
- Thank you. - Okay,
Thank you, Madam Yoon.
Gosh, I'm so tired.
Oh, dear.
Oh, boy. Are you that exhausted?
I thought dealing with only VIP clients would be easier.
Don't even get me started.
Our VIP clients are so picky.
They stress me out so much.
Cheer up. I'm sure they only want to see you...
because you're very good at what you do.
You're right. To become a renowned makeup artist,
I should have a loyal VIP following.
I'm here.
You just got back from your work trip. Are you here to see Choon Ja?
Yes. I wanted to see her before I go into work.
Gosh, stop it. You'll see me at home later anyway.
Hey, did you not miss me?
I couldn't even focus on work because I missed you too much.
That's probably why I haven't been able to focus on work.
I missed you so much.
The two of you are definitely meant to be together.
Where's In Kyung by the way?
She's in Ms Hong's office.
Han Soo. You know the actor, Seo Woo Jin, right?
What about Seo Woo Jin?
He tries to take such good care of In Kyung on set.
I think he has a crush on her.
Does that mean In Kyung will finally get out of being single?
I can't allow that. He's too much of a pretty boy.
I think he'll make In Kyung's life difficult.
The kind of face I consider handsome is someone like Mr Nam.
Goodness. Are you actually talking...
about Mr Nam Jung Ho who dumped In Kyung and left Korea?
He didn't dump her. They just...
broke up because things didn't work out.
There's a place known for their sweet red bean jelly nearby the set.
I thought of you and bought some.
Did I like red bean jelly in the past, too?
Of course. You used to eat them all day long...
when you didn't have any appetite.
Oh, really?
It's so good.
I guess my amnesia had no effect on my taste buds.
It's really delicious.
You haven't changed at all.
Sometimes, I can't even believe that you actually lost your memory.
It's frustrating to live as how other people remember me...
as oppose to how I remember myself.
Gosh, let's stop talking about it.
You said your new film will be submitted to a film festival.
Is everything coming along well?
Yes, we only have one shoot left.
I don't remember anything,
but I'm still so happy every time I hear good news about you.
I must have cared for you a lot in the past.
Of course. You're the one...
who groomed me into an actress.
I miss you too, Seung Joon.
Yes.
Wait just a little longer. I'll be there soon.
Yes. Me, too.
I love you, Seung Joon.
What brings you here out of the blue?
I came to share this with you to celebrate your achievement.
You got elected as a member of Congress,
and you married a young actress.
You certainly deserve to drink this good liquor and celebrate.
You want to drink in broad daylight?
I don't want to drink with you. You should leave.
Tae Joon.
No, I mean Congressman Nam.
Think about the shares Seo Yeon has in Baekdu Films.
You'll realise that you really shouldn't treat me like this.
Plus, I've been so supportive of you throughout your election campaign.
I never asked you for your support.
I didn't get any help from you.
Also, I made Seo Yeon the executive director of PR...
because of her shares in the company which she bought secretly.
What more do you want?
What are you talking about?
I just think that we should help each other out...
and become closer as friends.
Friends? Whatever.
My gosh, Mi Hee.
Hold on a second.
Shall I address you more politely now?
You became an actress, and you're now married to a congressman.
You've made all of your dreams come true.
Hello?
- It's Congressman Park. - Really?
I'll take it in my study room.
Hello, Congressman Park.
Hey, Mi Hee.
You're looking great.
You must be having a lot of fun with your old husband.
Hey, Lee Hyung Ok.
Don't lose your grace.
You're no longer Chairman Nam's live-in girlfriend.
You're now married to a congressman.
You're well aware of it.
Don't you dare get cheeky with me.
If my husband finds out, he won't let it slide. You know that, right?
"My husband"?
How scary.
Then I'll have to tell him what happened between us in the past.
- What? - Hey.
Do you think you've become the first lady or what?
You're just Tae Joon's arm candy.
Don't get too full of yourself.
The soup is so good.
So the final shoot is tomorrow. Can you take some time off after?
The filming is done,
but we'll be busy with the film festival and promoting the film.
Film festival? Does that mean you'll win an award?
We'll have to see. It's not something I can decide, you know.
She's being modest. Everyone on set...
was talking about how amazing...
In Kyung's performance for the film has been.
That's right. I heard it, too. What were they saying?
They were going on about her voice and how she uses her eyes.
- That's right. - In Kyung has very nice voice.
Stop it. You're making it sound like I already won an award.
Come on. Who will win the award if you don't get it?
- You'll win all of the awards... - My gosh.
You brat. What was that about?
Here's a clean spoon you can use, Ms Park.
Choon Ja, you're the only one who cares about me.
Whoever it will be, your future husband is such a lucky guy.
Choon Ja, are you seeing anyone at all by the way?
You're not that young any more.
You should get married before your value goes down.
My value? Gosh, that's scary.
Shall I try to find a guy for you if you aren't seeing anyone?
Choon Ja has a boyfriend.
Han Soo, what are you talking about?
- Han Soo, is it someone you know? - Yes.
He's tall, handsome, sweet, and manly.
I heard that he's the perfect husband material.
That's right. He'd be a perfect husband.
Have you lost your mind? What if your mum finds out?
She said she'd find a guy for you. Was I supposed to do nothing?
Did you want to meet a new guy or what?
Gosh, you're driving me crazy.
Anyway, you better not meet other guys.
You can't run away from me.
You're mine. You know that, right?
Han Soo, what are you doing here?
What? Oh, I came to get some water.
- Choon Ja. - Yes?
It'd be amazing if you can put away these dishes for me.
Sure thing.
Thanks so much.
Here.
- Come on. - Han Soo.
My goodness... What?
Do you need more time to get water?
Gosh, why am I so thirsty?
Thanks, Choon Ja.
Goodness. You and those old trainers.
Why haven't you thrown them out yet?
Just chuck them and get a new pair.
I can't because these helped me get through the hard times.
What? What do you mean by that?
Didn't you say that your friend gave them to you as a gift?
Sorry?
These are very comfortable, so I want to wear them for a long time.
Goodness, you're so quirky.
By the way, are you seeing anyone these days?
Mum, that's such a random question.
- No, I'm not. - You're not...
still hung up on Mr Nam, are you?
The two of you are really done, right?
I already told you so.
Gosh, I really wish he wasn't...
Cha Min Woo's brother-in-law.
He was such a great catch.
Well...
I'm tired. I should go to bed, Mum.
Well... All right.
Gosh, this silly mouth. Why did I have to bring it up?
By the way... They must be really over, right?
Goodness.
- Geum Soon. - Yes.
Spare me a second.
I gave you that mirror for a reason.
I want you to look in the mirror and smile as often as you can.
Try to smile a lot for yourself.
I will.
Also, you'll think of me every time you see it.
I won't blame you if you want to think about me a little.
In Kyung and Mr Nam?
That's right. They're done, right?
Yes. They are.
- They're over. - But I don't get it.
She loved him enough to want to tell him all about Seung Joon...
but broke up with him because something changed her mind.
Did something happen between the two of them?
Sorry?
I'm not sure.
She probably broke up with him because you were so against him.
She was stubborn about dating him...
even though I kept telling her that she shouldn't.
I wonder why she changed her mind all of a sudden.
I can't just sit here and wonder. I'm going to ask her directly.
Ms Park, please don't.
Why not? Do you know something?
I'm not too sure about what happened,
but it sounded like she did it for a different reason.
Different reason? You don't know what it is?
No, I don't.
Anyway, it looks like she's just starting to pull herself together.
I don't think you should ask her.
So Cha Min Woo wasn't the reason? It was about something else?
Isn't the food here pretty good?
Yes, it is.
"Yes, it is."
You don't talk much as usual.
In Kyung, do you know what actors say about you?
They call you Frozen Rose because you come across as so cold.
Is that right?
How can you smile? Guys think that you're icy cold.
Then why are you being like this?
- What do you mean? - You said I'm icy cold.
Why are you so good to me?
Working on the same film with you...
changed my mind.
It made me want to try breaking the ice that surrounds the rose.
I hope you don't do that.
Don't make such a straight face. You're making me feel embarrassed.
Can you try to be relaxed about it?
If you draw a clear line like that, I'm...
We are lovers in the film,
but we're like strangers in real life.
Please don't be confused.
Is that how you feel?
All right, then. I'll try to switch off my feelings for you.
You heard the rumour, right?
Apparently, Mr Cha is trying to make our film fail.
I'm aware.
He probably doesn't want us to submit our film to the festival.
But I'll make sure we can submit it no matter what.
Is it because you want to win the Best Actress Award?
There's a reason I have to win the award.
That must be what's keeping you so passionate and motivated.
Yes, it is.
Gosh, it's a little too cold to be out here for fresh air.
What's wrong?
- Did you see someone you know? - No.
I think it was just someone who looks like my acquaintance.
It must have been.
Thanks for this.
I'll be fine.
Wait, In Kyung.
I heard that today's shoot is the last shoot for "Endless Love".
- Did you know? - Yes.
It looks like they're really set on submitting it to the festival.
- Will you let them do it? - Shouldn't you know me by now?
They won't be able to finish the shoot today.
They'll have to give all equipment to other teams by this afternoon.
They won't be able to meet the deadline for the film festival.
It'll be entertaining to watch the look on In Kyung's face.
(Cha Min Woo)
(Request for Cooperation)
I already let everyone know that I have to shoot night scenes today.
Why do I have to return the equipment?
I don't know the details.
Don't you see Mr Cha's signature at the bottom?
I just do what I'm told to do, you know.
Gosh, the sun will go down soon.
Pack up all equipment and put them in the trunk before sundown.
Mr Cha obviously knows that we have to film night scenes today.
Don't you think this is unacceptable?
I can't let him get away with this. I'll make a formal complaint.
You'll just end up wasting your time.
He's obviously doing this on purpose.
Those night scenes are the climax of the film.
We have to shoot the scenes no matter what.
Gosh, what can we do...
There must be a solution to this.
There must be a way.
Right.
Cellophane.
There's an article I read a long time ago.
It was about using blue cellophane paper...
to make it look like scenes were shot at night. Is it true?
Right, the blue filter.
That will work. Let's do that.
In Kyung, you're so impressive.
She is. Thanks to you, we'll be able to complete the shoot.
Let's get ready to start rolling again!
- Okay! - Okay!
("Endless Love")
Ji Ho.
I'm sorry I'm late. I kept you waiting too long.
Don't worry.
Cut! Okay!
Just a second.
The shoot is over.
I know. That's why...
- Just for a few seconds. - Sorry?
The filming is done,
but I want to stay as Seo Woo Jin for a little longer.
- Cut! - What are they doing?
My goodness.
Woo Jin, everyone is watching. Don't be like this, please.
