Yes. As you know, the film was co-produced by Korea and Hong Kong.
That's probably why the project was more meaningful to me.
That was the last question on the list, so we will...
I'd like to ask one more question.
Ms Kang, I heard that you're planning...
on making an important announcement at this press conference.
Is it true?
- What announcement? - What does that mean?
Yes. It's true.
Mr Cha made a suggestion to me a little while ago.
After long and careful consideration,
I've decided to accept his offer.
I, Kang In Kyung,
have decided to work with Mr Cha again on his next film.
- My gosh! - Oh, my!
- Is she serious? - That's such big news.
We have to write an article about this.
- She's serious, right? - Yes, she just said it.
Yes, take photos of her. We have to cover this.
I believe we can wrap up the press conference now.
Please show much love and support for "Sad Dream".
(Press Conference for "Sad Dream")
- Ms Kang, look at the camera. - Please look at the camera.
- Just once. - Please smile at the camera.
Please look at this camera.
- Wait, Ms Kang. - Just a moment!
- Please look at the camera. - Here!
Please look at the camera just once!
What was that about?
Did you know about it, Jung Ho?
What on earth are you thinking?
I told you to announce retirement. What was that?
You're going to be in my next film? Have you lost your mind?
Let go of my hand.
In Kyung.
Do you not want to see your son again?
What changed your mind? Did you give it another thought...
and decide that you should choose your career over your child?
- Do you not want to give it up now? - Shut...
- your mouth. - What?
You don't even know where Seung Joon is.
I know that you don't know where he is now.
Find him. Go find Seung Joon right now!
You've figured it out.
I was hoping that you'd find out after you announce your retirement.
- What? - You're right.
That kid is no longer in my hands.
What's your problem, though?
You won't be able to see him again anyway.
Min Woo.
I've already tried my best to find him.
I bet I looked for him harder than you have. But you know what?
He's nowhere to be found.
He vanished without a single trace.
I feel so bad for you.
You better...
find him as soon as possible.
Find him before I decide to go speak with Chairman Nam.
Nothing...
scares me any more.
I'm going to meet with him and tell him...
what kind of scum you are and what you've done to me and Seung Joon.
I'll tell him everything.
You're digging your own grave.
Yes. Maybe that's what I'm doing.
But you know what?
Do you think that I will be...
buried alone in that grave?
In Kyung, how dare you...
Speaking of which...
(Queen Salon)
I don't even know if Seung Joon is alive or not.
I let him fool me like an idiot.
I absolutely cannot forgive Min Woo.
I will not let this slide.
Let's go. Let's trample all over him.
- You need to relieve your anger. - I have to find Seung Joon first.
If I could have my way, I'd be strangling that scum right now.
But that is not going to help me find Seung Joon.
That's true, but...
Then what are you going to do now?
There must be a way out of this.
There has to be.
He said Seung Joon went missing around the orphanage,
so I should look for him in that area first.
You'll go there again? How exactly are you going to find him?
I must try anything in my power. Anything.
I have to try everything I can think of.
So did you ask Ms Kang to be in your next film?
Yes, well...
You told me to consider working with her again in my next film,
so I mentioned it to her in passing.
So you're saying that you did make that suggestion to her, right?
Yes. I did, but...
She didn't say anything when I mentioned the idea,
so I don't know why she had to bring it up like that...
- at the press conference. - I also want to know the reason.
I'm curious as to why she accepted your suggestion.
Could she have been obligated to go with your suggestion?
I'm not sure.
Go ahead and ask her directly if you're that curious, Mr Nam.
As you wanted,
I interrogated the security guard who used to work at the warehouse.
It does look like Ms Lee was involved in it.
I was hoping it wouldn't be the case.
Where is...
Seo Yeon now?
Why did you want to see me?
Seo Yeon.
What made you become like this?
What are you talking about all of a sudden? Be more specific.
It's about the film.
You damaged all copies in order to ruin the release.
What are you talking about?
Don't even try to get out of it.
The security guard you paid off told us everything.
Are you suspicious of me because of what the security guard said?
I'm too upset to continue this conversation.
Go ahead and sue me if you think I did it.
Don't try to threaten me, because that'd be too petty.
Am I going to end up...
having to take you to court?
Is that really the only way?
If I sue you, Yidojeonyoung will hold you responsible.
Then you'll have to give up your position,
and you may actually end up behind bars for damaging our films.
Seo Yeon.
Let's not go that far, please.
I think I should give you one last chance.
What do you want from me?
Don't act like you're doing this for me. Just tell me what you want.
(Talent Contract)
The unreasonable terms and conditions you put...
in Ms Kang's contract.
Remove them from her contract.
So are you doing all of this for In Kyung?
Yes. I cannot make my actress...
abide by such unreasonable terms and conditions.
"My actress"?
What a joke. Be honest, will you?
You don't want it to come in the way of your love for her!
Think whatever you want.
What do you want to do?
Do you want to go to court? Or shall we...
go ahead and remove...
these terms and conditions?
So...
are you saying that it looks like someone tipped In Kyung off?
Yes.
She has talked to almost everyone in the vicinity of the orphanage...
You should've stopped her.
Well... She's been running around like a crazy person to find her son.
Now that she knows her son is really missing,
she'll try harder to find him.
We cannot let her find him no matter what.
If she finds him before we do,
everything will be over for us.
Of course. We absolutely can't let that happen.
If that happens, you'll be doomed.
Mr Byun.
Your life will be completely ruined, too.
So you better go find that boy now.
We have to get to him before In Kyung finds him.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Name: Heo Seung Joon)
Seung Joon,
you must've resented me.
You did, right?
I didn't even know that you went missing.
I just...
thought that you'd be okay, no matter where you are.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Name: Heo Seung Joon)
Don't worry, Seung Joon.
I know that we will meet again.
So let's stay strong.
He's a little boy. His name is Heo Seung Joon.
I haven't seen him.
Please call me if you see him.
- Okay. - Please get in touch with me.
Has anyone called me?
No. Where are you now?
Are you still distributing those flyers there?
I think you've done enough for today.
No, I'll just finish distributing the flyers I got printed.
I'll also stop by the government offices in the area again.
Don't worry about me. I'll talk to you later.
All right, then. Be careful.
In Kyung is doing everything she can to find him.
I can't just sit around and watch. What should I do?
Chairman Nam is in his office, right?
Yes, but he's meeting with Mr Cha Min Woo at the moment.
Sorry? Mr Cha is here?
Ms Hong, what brings you here?
Does it look weird that I'm here to see Chairman Nam?
We talk in person from time to time.
Today, I'm here to speak with him about In Kyung.
About Ms Kang?
- What is it about? - It's none of your business.
You should get going.
What brings you here? I wasn't expecting you.
For some reason, I keep...
reminiscing the old days today.
The old days? That's random.
When the three of us first met.
You, Yeon Hee and I.
Yeon Hee?
- Do you mean Lee Yeon Hee? - Yes. You remember her, right?
When Yeon Hee and I were in the vagabond theatre company,
you were just starting out in the film industry.
That's right.
A number of decades have already passed by since then.
Yeon Hee...
She was a beautiful person.
Why are you talking about a deceased person all of a sudden?
Tae Joon.
Yeon Hee is dead. However...
Her daughter is alive.
What?
Did you just say that Yeon Hee has a daughter?
Yes, her daughter is alive.
What is it? Why are you back?
I just got an urgent call.
Ms Kang is injured.
She's looking for you, Ms Hong. I thought I should let you know.
In Kyung is injured?
Where is she? How bad is her injury?
Well, I'm not sure.
It looks like you'll have to find out yourself.
- You should go. - Okay.
I should get going.
(Baekdu Group)
Ms Hong.
Let's have a quick talk.
What are you talking about? In Kyung is injured. Let me go.
She's completely fine.
She can wander around like that to find her son because she's fine.
What did you just say?
Mr Cha.
I'm sorry.
I had to lie to you to get you out of there quickly.
Why did you do that? Were you scared that I'd tell him everything?
So...
- you know everything. - Of course I do.
In Kyung and I don't keep any secrets from each other.
Then I'll get to the point.
If people find out that In Kyung has a child,
her career as an actress will be over.
Not only will she be kicked out of Baekdu Films,
but she'll also get ostracised from the film industry...
You're being beyond ridiculous.
What did you just say?
I wanted to try to be nice to you because of Hee Ae,
but I honestly cannot believe you.
How dare you try acting like you care about In Kyung?
You're just scared of Chairman Nam finding out about her.
If he finds out,
it won't help her in any way, either.
You probably should worry about yourself first.
Do you actually think that he'll forgive you...
for deceiving her daughter?
He won't.
If he finds out,
I'll lose everything I have now.
So you know.
Why do you keep bothering In Kyung knowing what can happen to you?
She actually told me something.
She said that nothing scares her because she's willing...
to lose everything she has.
I think that I will soon...
become as fearless as her.
When and if that happens,
I'm going to destroy her life.
Doesn't it scare you?
Do you think I'll just sit around and watch?
You better watch out.
If you keep being like this,
you could be hurt, too.
Mr Cha, how dare you...
That's right.
I'm threatening you right now.
You should be careful.
Excuse me, Sir. Have you seen this boy around here?
No, I haven't.
Could you please call me at this number if you see him?
- Sure. - Please keep an eye out for him.
Okay.
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen him before.
Kids.
- Have you seen this boy? - Have you seen him?
I don't think so.
Have fun.
He's a three-year-old boy.
- He's about this tall and... - I said I haven't seen him.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Name: Heo Seung Joon)
Wait.
Isn't that kid Seung Joon?
He looks like Seung Joon, but I could be wrong.
Goodness.
What brings you here this late?
Is In Kyung here? I have news for her.
She's not back yet.
What's the news?
Judging from the look on your face, it must be good news.
Yes, it's great news...
for both In Kyung and myself.
For you, too?
In Kyung.
Mr Nam.
The terms and conditions have been annulled in full?
Does that mean those clauses are...
You no longer have to abide by...
I mean, you don't even have to worry about them any more.
I see.
You probably know them inside out, but you no longer need to worry...
about not being able to date or get married for a year...
after the release or about any scandals for that matter. Gosh.
Chucking that contract into the garbage bin...
felt so great and liberating.
I thought you'd be happy to hear the news.
Am I the only one who is excited about it?
Mr Nam.
Yes, In Kyung.
I'm fully aware...
of how you must've felt...
as you were running here...
to tell me the news.
That's why...
I think I should tell you even though it breaks my heart.
Are you trying to tell me...
that you don't feel the same way?
Right now, I can't...
- My current situation is... - You're at it again.
Are you going to use your situation as an excuse again?
I must hear it from you today.
What exactly is your situation?
What keeps making you back out like this?
Okay, then.
I'll tell you everything.
I think...
that will be better for you, as well.
I'm...
- actually... - In Kyung.
What are you trying to tell him?
Ms Hong, I'm just...
going to tell Mr Nam everything and...
Don't be ridiculous.
Jung Ho, let me have a word with you.
(Queen Salon)
Why are you telling me that I shouldn't even try to know?
Why are you doing this to me now?
I know how frustrated you must be. It must be driving you crazy.
- But... - No.
You have no idea how I feel right now.
I...
have feelings for In Kyung.
You know that.
That's why I'm telling you that you can't know.
If you find out, both of you will be more distressed.
That's not true. I can't be more distressed than this.
It'll be much better than having to cluelessly watch her like that.
Jung Ho, calm down. Calm down and listen to me.
What now?
Are you going to say again that it's best for In Kyung?
Then...
what about me?
What can I do for her?
Am I just supposed to watch her...
like a complete idiot?
You keep telling me not to ask or try to know anything.
Do you know how cruel that is?
This is a battle only she can fight.
We have no choice. She has to deal with it on her own.
How can I leave her all alone in the battlefield?
Are you seriously telling me to let her...
fight alone and get all wounded?
Ms Hong. When I...
think about how In Kyung...
would be crying quietly all alone,
my heart aches so much with pain.
It's really killing me!
Ms Hong, I have to do something.
It's so hard for me...
to just watch her go through whatever she's dealing with.
Do you know that you've been acting strange?
In what way?
You never used to raise your voice at me,
but you're so irritable these days. You get annoyed with me every day.
That's because...
I told you that I've been on edge because of the film release.
Is it really because of the release?
Aren't you hiding something from me?
Are you suspicious of me?
Then...
tell me who that kid is.
I clearly heard you talking about a kid.
That was...
I was talking about a kid we need for a shoot.
Okay, fine. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you when you initially asked.
Are you actually sorry?
I almost feel like I don't know you any more.
I'm sitting here wondering if you're really my sweet husband.
Sorry.
I guess I treated you like that because I'm comfortable with you.
You're the only person who's on my side in this family, you know.
That's not true.
My family is your family now.
I don't want us to fight any more.
Please be honest with me about everything from now on, okay?
All right, I will.
Geum Soon told me that secrecy can ruin a marriage.
Keeping secrets obviously breaks trust and leads to fight.
She said that being honest with each other is best for both parties.
She said that?
But...
don't take her advice too seriously.
I mean, she's just a housekeeper after all.
Stop talking nonsense and focus on your job as a housekeeper.
You're not smart enough to advise anyone on his or her family matters.
What are you talking about all of a sudden?
A married couple shouldn't keep secrets?
What do you even know?
Watch your tongue.
I'm warning you.
Stop telling Hee Ae such rubbish.
How can you dare to advise her as a mere housekeeper?
Know your place, will you?
Did In Kyung tell you to do that?
Did she tell you to monitor me and cause a rift between me and Hee Ae?
Do you think that she's like you?
I only said that to Ms Nam because I felt bad for her.
I feel horrible that she's married to a man like you.
Shut your mouth.
I'm tolerating your misbehaviours because of Father and Hee Ae,
but I'll be sure to kick you and your husband...
out of this house eventually.
If you don't want a pay cut until you get kicked out,
just do your job properly.
You're talking as if you're the one who pays me.
- What? - Ms Yoon hired me,
and Chairman Nam pays me.
You have no right whatsoever to order me around.
Is that what you think?
Then shall I show you whether I can actually kick you out or not?
By all means. There are many things I'd like to tell Chairman Nam.
You little...
What on earth are you doing...
to my Geum Soon right now?
"My Geum Soon"?
Goodness. What are you two doing in our kitchen?
I have to say, that was quite manly of you.
Geum Soon, are you all right?
Yes, I'm fine.
We're late, right? Let's go.
Gosh.
I really can't do this any more.
Geum Soon.
Let's...
quit our jobs.
What if that jerk tries to bother you again?
I'm so worried.
Chil Bong.
We promised In Kyung that we'd keep a watchful eye on him...
and that we'd help her.
If something happens to her,
there may be things that we can do here to help her.
Let's...
try to stick it out just a little longer.
In Kyung,
why do you keep running away from me?
I'm ready to face and fight anything, but what are you...
so afraid of?
What's scaring you?
When I see you again...
What shall we do first?
Let's go eat something delicious together.
Seung Joon, you're good at football.
Shall we go to the park again?
When I see you again, I'll say...
"I'm your mum."
I'm going to tell you.
When we meet again,
I'm going to tell you how much I've missed you.
I'm going to hold you in my arms...
over and over again.
When we meet again...
When I see you again, Seung Joon...
Gosh, I guess winter is really here now.
The wind is so cold.
Goodness, my ears feel as if they're going to fall off.
Here.
Oh, gosh.
- What is this? - You said you're cold.
Wear it from now on. I can't watch my girl shivering in the cold.
It's just a pair of ear muffs. Don't try to act all cool.
- So what? You don't like it? - That's not what I meant.
I guess I should say I don't like it.
Well, I don't hate it.
By the way, these ear muffs are so warm.
My face feels warm because of them.
Let's get going, my cute Choon Ja.
What? What did you just say? "My Choon Ja"?
Let's go.
Look at what you got yourself into.
You said the key would completely change the fate of "Sad Dream".
Don't mock me like that...
because I'm already furious enough.
What good would being furious now do? Nothing changed anyway.
You've done your best, so give up and move on now.
No, I cannot do that.
What?
If you keep pushing it, you'll end up in a more ridiculous situation.
I don't care what anyone says.
I absolutely cannot give up.
What is your end goal, exactly?
Do you want to make Baekdu Films yours?
Or do you want to take down Jung Ho and In Kyung?
It was both.
However, I'm going to focus on one goal now.
- It must be Jung Ho. - Yes.
I cannot watch him living happily with that woman...
after what he did to me.
What are you going to do, then?
You don't even have any right to get involved in such matters.
I don't need any right to meddle in those matters.
Just watch me and find out...
how I'll take down both of them.
(Looking for a Missing Child, Name: Heo Seung Joon)
This boy is...
In Kyung, we found him.
We found Seung Joon. Someone saw him.
Really?
Why is the person not calling us?
What if...
- What if it's not him again? - Don't say that.
She said that she'll call us after making sure that it's him.
Let's wait a little bit more, okay?
Please...
Please, let it be him.
Hello?
Yes. You can talk to me.
Yes, we're missing a little boy.
Really?
Thank you. Thank you so much. Yes.
I'll come right now to pick him up. Okay.
Ms Hong, it's him. Let's go pick up Seung Joon.
Okay, let's leave right away. Let's go bring Seung Joon home.
You found him? Are you sure that it's him?
Yes. I showed them his photo, and they confirmed that it's him.
Get their address first. I'll be there soon.
Okay, I will. Please try to come as soon as possible.
In Kyung put up the flyers all over the town,
so they might call her, too.
Okay. I'll see you shortly.
Oh, Mr Cha.
Where is he now?
She just went into the room to get him.
This must be it. We've come to the right place, right?
Yes, this is it.
Seung Joon, please...
