Episode 9
Why did you want to see me out here?
This seemed like the right place.
Sit.
I did a lot of thinking.
I just couldn't figure out why I was acting so strangely.
I suppose it was hard to deal with my feelings.
Let me cut to the chase.
I think...
I think I've fallen in love with you.
Pardon?
Let's get married.
Is that what you thought I'd say?
Are you nuts? I'd never marry you.
What?
Have you actually fallen for him?
No. Never.
My only mission is the marriage.
Why not take off your mask now?
You intentionally approached me, didn't you?
You said you loved me.
How dare you trick me?
Why did you want to marry me so badly?
To change your life around?
Is that why you put on your ridiculous act?
But what a shame. I won't marry a nobody like you.
You know how even Ina, heiress to the Galaxy Hotel,
is dying to marry me.
How can you even dream of someone like me?
Listen carefully.
You must not know me yet.
Marriage is for people of the same caliber.
You'd need to become as big a star as I am.
snap out of it.
You can have this.
Have this scrap of metal instead of marriage.
You can sell it or do whatever you please.
What happened?
Why did Kang Woo leave, Comrade Myung Wol?
Kang Woo, I just saw something very interesting.
Jeez.
Why are all the men gaga over Myung Wol?
What a pain.
I was just going to leave first,
but I started wondering what they were saying.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
But you didn't have to take it that far.
What is going on here?
He's not like us.
I hope you give me an honest answer.
Have you actually fallen for him?
No. Never.
My only mission is the marriage.
That girl really got you.
I love you. I like you.
She played me for a fool?
Okay.
I'll play games with her for a while, too.
Let's meet outside.
That she-devil.
Given that you saved my life, I won't tell anyone.
But you have to pack your things and leave.
Got it?
I should have known. How could he like me?
What? Myung Wol quit?
Myung Wol? Why?
But she had just begged and pleaded to be rehired.
This is strange.
Are you sure that nothing happened?
Nothing happened.
And tell them I'll do that movie you mentioned a while ago.
What? But you said no.
Plus, you don't like doing multiple projects simultaneously.
Plus, Ina's the female lead.
And Daegang, I want a really packed schedule from now on.
Say yes to entertainment shows, interviews, everything.
Sorry? Entertainment shows?
But you hate them.
You said you wanted to focus only on your singing and acting.
What's with him all of a sudden?
How can things turn out like this?
It's all over now.
Can you stop saying that?
I'm just stating a fact.
You were sure that Kang Woo liked Comrade Myung Wol.
Wait a minute.
Are you saying this is my fault?
You agreed with me. You said I was right.
That was because you seemed so sure.
So now you want to play the blame game?
My life is on the line.
So you're out to save your own behind then.
Of course I want to live.
Do you really think anyone would care
if we got killed like dogs here?
We finally have a bidder.
As you had said, he took the bait.
You mean...
The bidder will bring money to a designated place,
and we're supposed to hand over the book.
You'll have to take the book to him.
I'll take care of the rest.
Yes, sir.
Do you think that he'll take the bait?
We'll see.
Please confirm.
Welcome.
I was waiting for you.
You intentionally approached me, didn't you?
You said you loved me.
How dare you trick me?
Comrade Myung Wol! Comrade Myung Wol!
Comrade Myung Wol! We have a huge problem.
The radio...
We just got a new order.
It's the C2 order.
The C2 order?
If we don't complete the mission on the deadline,
it won't be just us who will be killed.
Our families in the North will lose their ranks and be disgraced.
So the higher-ups must have found out.
Where is Comrade Ryu? He won't answer his phone.
How much time do we have left?
Just about a month.
Comrade Myung Wol! Where are you going?
I dug around and it turn out that your entire resume was fabricated.
You almost fooled me.
So, who put you up to this scheme?
I'm just one of the many who are after the "Tera Codex. "
I know you're not doing this alone.
Don't you know who I am?
Do you think that I'll let you off the hook?
You can't do anything to me.
What?
I already have two of the four volumes.
And I got another one very recently.
Which is to say, your volume.
What?
Regretfully, the volume currently in your possession is a fake.
I hid the real one, and I'm the only one who knows where it is.
Do you expect me to believe you?
Whether you believe me is your own choice.
But if you trust me,
I'm willing to share everything with you.
I'll find the last missing volume of the "Terra Codex. "
Are you trying to strike a deal?
Once all four volumes are put together,
the very map of the Korean Peninsula will change.
I'm sure you know its value better than anyone else.
Will you let go of this opportunity to make
a huge fortune?
Are you really planning to just let him go?
If he's telling the truth,
he's definitely worth keeping around.
I have no choice. We'll just have to see
what he really has to offer.
So make sure you keep a close eye on him.
And we have to find out who's behind him.
Comrade Myung Wol rushed off and she still isn't back yet?
No. And Comrade Ryu hasn't called back.
Do you think those two are scheming to save themselves?
No way.
You know what? We should try to smuggle ourselves out of here,
or apply for asylum.
What?
You just won't stop, will you now?
Where's your sense of responsibility?
We can't just sit around waiting to be killed.
Why are you out here?
Even if we are killed,
we should be proud we worked hard to defend our country and people.
Of course.
Why haven't you been in contact?
Something came up.
So what happened?
Well... You see...
How can you even dream of someone like me?
Listen carefully.
You must not know me yet.
Marriage is for people of the same caliber.
You need to become as big a star as I am.
Fine. You just wait and see.
I'll show you, Kang Woo.
Are you sure Myung Wol quit?
- I have a feeling you forced her to quit. - If you mention her one more time...
But it makes no sense.
Myung Wol would do anything to be with you...
I told you not to talk about her!
And why do I have to be a judge for this audition?
Can't someone else do it?
But the agency organized it and it's really big deal.
You have to be there.
Ms. Ju Ina will also be serving as a special judge.
She should improve her own acting.
It's not like your acting is top-notch, either.
Hey!
Superstar KBS Where Miracles Happen
We have the first contestants.
Hello. We are the Sing Song Brothers.
One, two, three.
I hate you more than words can say
I hate myself I hate myself so much
I hate myself For how I am
You do realize that looks matter in this line of work?
- Go for comedy. - It was somewhat amusing,
but there wasn't that thing, that thing that moves you...
- That thing... - Catharsis.
Catharsis. It was missing.
Kang Woo! You'll come to regret this.
Yes, you will.
You be careful now.
Darn it!
Isn't that over-the-top?
That was not singing. That was creaming.
Mommy. Mommy.
My bottom is burning.
You sounded like a porn star singing a children's song.
I liked it.
Could you just not singing?
It's making us Even sadder
We make our exit
We're done.
- We worked hard on this. - They're not saying anything.
I don't think we made it.
Now for the last contestant. Please come on out.
Myung Wol?
- Hey! - Why's she here?
Isn't that you, Myung Wol?
Kang Woo found out everything.
Comrade Myung Wol seemed very disappointed.
We were so sure that she had him.
Where are you, Han Myung Wol?
Are you out of your mind? How dare you show up?
Why don't we see what she can do?
Ms. Gyeong.
What's there to see? What a joke.
She came all the way here. Let's see what you've got.
Go on.
Hey! This isn't an audition for stunt doubles.
Can you do something else?
Pardon?
Can you act?
I'll try.
This is a sad expression.
This is a happy expression.
This is an angry expression.
What do you think you're doing?
I can't stand it.
Excuse me.
Please give me another chance. I'll do a good job this time around.
Why are you doing this?
What are you scheming now?
I'm going to become a star.
What?
You said you'd marry me if I became a star.
What?
Marriage is for people of the same caliber.
You'd need to become as big a star as I am.
- So that's why. - Yes.
I'm going to try to be a star, too.
You just won't quit.
Why are you going to such extremes?
Why is it so important for you to marry me?
Like you said,
I had wanted to marry a star and turn my life around.
But now that it's turned out like this,
I want to prove to you that you aren't all that.
I'm going to take this all the way,
so don't forget what you promised me.
Fine. Do what you will.
Do you think it's easy to become a star?
You're not good enough.
I don't know what to say anymore.
What? You want to become a star and marry Kang Woo?
Dream on.
It's just so farfetched, it's not worth discussing.
Don't try so hard.
I feel sorry for you.
What happened?
What? What did you say?
Do you really think that makes any sense?
I have no choice.
I have to clutch at straws.
Comrade Myung Wol that's still a bit...
My father meant more than anything to me.
You know how highly I thought of him.
My father dedicated his life to our country and people
and died a hero.
I might not be able to be as great as he was,
but I don't want
to tarnish his good name.
Is that really the only reason?
I have no other reasons.
Are you sure?
Yes.
I just heard the two talking.
An actress? That's absurd.
You don't say.
Kang Woo probably just blurted it out without thinking.
Comrade Myung Wol must know that, too.
It's probably because she doesn't know what to do.
But for a North Korean spy to enter the South Korean
entertainment industry, fraught with money and scandals...
If it's to complete the mission, she has no other choice.
Comrade Myung Wol isn't a Special Ops agent,
so her identity won't be compromised easily.
What chance does she have?
Can just anyone become a star?
You said you'd marry me if I became a star.
I'm going to try to be a star, too.
What? A star?
What a wacko.
What? Weren't you fired?
What are you still doing here?
I'm sorry, but you'll have to put up with me longer.
After that scheme you pulled...
How can you have no shame?
If I were you, I'd be too shame to stay on.
Ina.
What's going on, granddad?
Are you planning to keep him around?
I had told you not to trust him.
I told you what he was up to with Myung Wol.
It seems Myung Wol had asked him to help,
so he merely did her a favor.
He feels bad about it.
- You should let it go. - Granddad.
I don't know whether I should be saying this,
but since you were at it anyway,
why didn't you make sure that
you got Kang Woo away from Ina once and for all?
Granddad, are you kidding?
Not at all.
I don't like seeing you controlled by him.
Granddad.
I won't worry you over something like that again.
Still, there's nobody as reliable as you.
I feel reassured just having you with us.
I can let it slide just this once,
but if it happens again,
you'll really pay.
Ina.
Well then.
Did you find out about the people around him?
The people at the private detective agency, for instance?
Anything peculiar?
We observed them over the past week.
The man is napping most of the morning.
He plays Go with neighborhood senior citizens in the afternoon.
He always loses.
and throws a fit.
You don't have to play so tough.
Where is the fun in the game?
At night, he plays go-stop with his wife Lee Oksun.
I got three.
You got only two.
Just look. I got all three.
I'm telling you, you only got two.
- Huh? - Whatever. I'm out.
One of them always leaves in a huff.
You can stop. I've had enough.
Take a look at other people in his life then.
Yes, sir.
Good grief.
You're clocking in late today.
This isn't your agency. Aren't you busy?
Today I'll be busy following you around.
Your agency must have given up on you.
Look. Why don't you try to win my granddad over?
What?
There are so many obstacles to our love.
It won't do any good for you to be in granddad's bad books.
I mean, he's the one with the money.
You should go and see him.
I got his favorite sanghwang mushrooms and abalone for you to take to him.
So you're telling me to grovel?
You know my granddad.
He's brought down many a celebrity.
Kang Woo.
Hello.
I was about to call you.
Mr. Ju is having dinner with legislator tonight.
He wants you to come.
Am I in politics? Why eat with legislators?
- Kang Woo. - Kang Woo.
Ms. Gyeong said you have to go.
Rats.
What about these?
I don't know. Throw them out.
Then can I eat them all?
Score!
What?
Hello.
What are you doing here?
What's going on?
What was I supposed to do? She wants to learn acting.
She must have quit the body guard job because she wanted to try acting.
Pardon?
We're indebted to Myung Wol in more ways than one.
We can do her a small favor.
- Ms. Gyeong... - Please just teach me.
I'll work very hard.
Plus, she's quite tall and has a pretty face.
She wouldn't be bad once we polish her up a bit.
Fine. You have the right to make that decision.
I won't go against it. But let me teach her.
What?
We should do it right.
She's back in Kang Woo's house?
Yes. Kang Woo must have said he wanted to teach her himself,
and took her to his house.
Isn't this a good thing?
Why are you so dense?
KangWoo obviously has other intentions.
But if he really likes her, he may want to help her.
Don't you know about love hate relationships?
Thank you.
You need not thank me.
I didn't have you come because you're endearing.
Pardon?
If I can't get you to quit, I'll make you quit on your own.
- What? - Brace yourself.
We'll see how long you can last.
I'll never give up.
I knew it wouldn't be easy when I chose this route.
Yeah? Fine.
Then get changed.
How much longer do I have to run?
I've been doing this for four hours now.
If you want to be an actress, you have to be physically fit.
Plus, you need to lose about 5 kg.
Pardon?
Then could I have some water?
What do you know?
She sells seashells by the seashore...
Again.
She sells seashells by the seashore...
Again.
She sells seashells by the seashore...
Again.
- She sells seashells... - Again.
Diction is crucial for acting.
You can't have any food until you do it right.
These are all the TV dramas and movies I was in.
Watch them all by tomorrow morning.
All of these?
Yeah
Nothing's better than watching good acting.
These DVDs will show you how first-rate acting is done.
It's the same.
The hand writing is the same.
- Are you dozing off? - No.
- Is my movie boring? - No.
I'm enjoying it immensely.
Yeah?
Then watch these, too.
How much longer will this training last?
- What? - All I do is run.
practice diction and watch DVDs.
When will you teach me acting?
Alright. Starting today, come out to the set.
Really?
Pardon? I have to die?
Yup. It's an important role.
Corpse 1.
All you have to do is run that way, and when Kang Woo shoots you,
You hit the wall and die. Okay?
What? What's she doing here?
- I want to know why she's here. - She's my trainee.
What?
Haven't you come to your senses yet? She deceived you...
Just stay out of it.
Your meddling has never helped matters.
What is he thinking?
I can't stand looking at her.
We're going to start.
Ready, action!
Very nice.
I'm sorry, director. One more time.
- I thought it was fine. - I blinked too much.
- Let's do it over. - Oh, really?
Okay. One more time.
Here we go.
Ready, action!
This is good.
I'm sorry, director. I want to do it again.
Sorry. Once more.
It's better to shoot four times, right?
I'm sorry, director. One more, please.
The action wasn't really enough.
No. Once more.
One more time.
Kang Woo, I think it's fine.
One more.
- Are you okay? - Once more then.
Really?
Yes. I heard it from Kang Woo's manager.
Now it makes sense.
I had no idea that's what he had in mind.
That's why he had her move back into his place.
What?
Don't you think that you're going overboard?
You're intentionally making her suffer.
You don't have the right to say that.
You were scheming along with her.
Don't lecture me.
It could be a lot of worse to her.
Seeing how angry you are, you really must have liked her.
Otherwise, you wouldn't be feeling so betrayed.
And you? Why do you keep getting involved in Myung Wol's business?
It's you who must really like her.
- Bullets! - Last take.
So he's trying to sap the life out of me.
I won't give up.
Action!
Cut! Okay!
Good job.
Myung Wol, we got the take.
- Oh, no! - Watch out!
What's going on? Didn't you say there was nothing between you?
Didn't you say you just did her a favor?
That's not what it looked like to me.
Please get in.
A secret crush?
So that's what it is.
Since when?
- Does Myung Wol know? - It's not like that.
Don't you think that you're going overboard?
You're intentionally making her suffer.
How's Myung Wol?
Discharged? Where did she go?
You called?
When will you give me back my volume?
I won't be able to trust you
until I have it back in my hands.
I'd been planning to retrieve it tonight.
Can I trust you?
No monkey business, right?
I'll look forward to it.
Do you have the item?
I'd like to check it before you leave.
Don't you trust us?
Give its importance, I want to exercise caution.
My goodness, Comrade Myung Wol.
Why didn't you stay longer at the hospital?
I feel most comfortable here.
I'll just rest here for a few hours.
The mission is important, but you're going to extremes.
This isn't something you're used to doing.
Look at you. You've lost so much weight.
Being an actress must be harder than being a Special Ops agent.
Since you're here anyway,
let me cook you something that will restore your energy.
I'm fine.
I'll be heading back soon.
I may be your pretend mother, but I'm your mother nonetheless.
- I'll come with you. - But why?
We may be a pretend couple, but we're a couple nonetheless.
Major Choi.
What happened?
How did this happen?
Are you working on something we don't know about?
I can't tell you right now.
Is it something even I can't know about?
Just focus on your mission.
It feels like you're always shouldering all the burdens.
It's upsetting.
And it's risky for you to go to a hospital here.
What if something goes terrible wrong?
I'm so stupid. Why'd I come here?
Listen carefully.
You have a stylist and a manager.
Why should I carry...
You're stronger than all of them put together.
Consider it your tuition.
Tuition?
You're learning from a Hallyu star.
You thought it was free? Have some conscience.
It's not like you actually taught me anything.
- What? - Nothing.
Hurry up.
Audition for Supporting Actors
Pick some of the better acting trainees and send them over.
Who's good, anyway?
- I'd like to give it a go. - What?
- Han Myung Wol! - I'll try.
You must think getting a supporting role is a breeze.
But you've only just started learning acting.
Please just let her audition.
Myung Wol's begging you.
- Ms. Gyeong, please? - Alright then.
Tell the trainees it's open to all. As a learning experience.
Thank you. Thank you.
You don't need to thank me. It's up to you to get the part.
Myung Wol, go for it!
Do you really think you can do this?
I don't know, but I'll try it.
Okay then. Do as you please,
but listen to me.
If you fail this,
the marriage and all that is a no-go. Got that?
Hello. Yes.
Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule.
So, did you think about it?
I did a lot of thinking about your proposal.
But it's not an easy decision to make.
Of course.
Mr. Ju was your backer for a very long time.
It's only natural for you to waver.
But I can't rely on him forever.
- So... - I will be taking your offer under favorable consideration.
What? He met with another investor?
Yes. And it wasn't the first time.
- They'd met a few times before. - That scoundrel!
I made him into a star!
What an ingrate.
I knew he would stab me in the back.
I need to give him a reality check.
Darn it!
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
Rats.
Myung Wol.
- How it's going? - Hello.
It's not going too well.
That's what I figured, so I'm here to help you.
Pardon?
I thought it may help,
so I brought over some read-through scripts.
Hwang Ojini
Becoming one with a lowly woman like me
would be a huge burden for you.
If marriage is what you want, I'm glad to go through with it.
Kang Woo!
We're practicing.
We can't concentrate because that's so loud.
You're the ones being loud.
That's not acting. It's noise pollution.
Autumn in My Mind
I absolve you of your crime.
Hey!
The crime of bad acting can't be absolved.
Are you okay?
What Happened When I Did Ballet
What do you want me to do?
Whenever I think of you, my heart's about to explode.
If I can't see your face for even a single day,
I'll go crazy.
I'll go crazy if I keep having to put up with your acting.
Cut it out!
Right now!
So?
It is the real thing, sir.
I keep my promise.
Will you accept my proposal now?
Alright. Fine then.
I trust you will bring me the last volume.
I need to find the last volume as soon as possible, before my identity is further compromised.
When all four are found, I can once again...
It's not... It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
It's not fair.
You're wasting your time.
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Check this out.
Hallyu star Kang Woo's
You're no Hallyu star.
In your dreams.
Not just anyone can be a star.
Hey! Why do you keep reading?
A passing dog would do better than you.
Don't waste your time, and just quit now.
Why do you have to be so mean?
If you won't help me, you can at least try not to be rude.
I'm known for my honesty.
Just give it up, and go to sleep.
Please!
Jeez!
It would fell so good to punch him at the face.
Acting is a lot harder than it looks.
That fool has no idea.
What does she expect to do looking like that?
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
It's not fair.
I can't die like this.
Why didn't you wake me? How could you leave me there?
I could have been late. Where is it?
What? Why did she come?
- What business does she have here? - Drama audition.
What? Her?
How can you write this without checking with us first?
Fine. I'll call you back.
- What is it? - Nothing.
Don't worry about it.
I'll take care everything.
Who leaked this?
Was it Mr. Ju?
I told you nothing good would come of being in his bad books.
I heard you didn't go to that dinner.
You know well what he's like.
I'll go see him myself,
but you should go too, and beg for forgiveness.
If you do that, this all disappears.
I can't let him drag me here and there forever.
What?
Kang Woo.
What's this? What's the matter?
Please get that reporter on the phone now.
I have an even more shocking story.
- Myung Wol! - Myung Wol!
What are you doing here? Deagang told us, Comrade Myung Wol.
Why didn't you tell us about it?
It's not a big deal.
Of course it's a big deal. This is our last chance.
Oh, right. Here.
This is taffy. It's supposed to bring you good luck.
And these rice cakes. Also for good luck.
Myung Wol!
Myung Wol, I'm your No. 1 fan from now on.
Han Myung Wol First-rate actress of our town
- Ms. Han Myung Wol. - Yes.
Break a leg!
- Go, Myung Wol! - You can do it!
First-rate actress!
Ms. Han Myung Wol.
Yes.
- This is your first attempt at acting? - Yes, sir.
Go ahead.
Show then who you are.
Real acting comes from your own experiences.
I'm not in a position to give anyone advice,
but acting is not pretending.
It's how you show yourself.
Real acting comes from your own experiences.
Ms. Han Myung Wol.
Yes. I'll start.
Where are you?
Hurry up.
Sweat!
The fish oil is missing.
This isn't what I drink.
Do you wipe your mouth with toilet tissue?
I don't celebrate my birthday!
Do you call yourself a human being?
How can you do this to me over and over again?
I've had it.
I can't keep being humiliated anymore. I've had enough.
If I ever see you again, I won't hold back.
Brace yourself.
I'll make sure you regret it.
Bring it here.
What's wrong?
You promised.
You're funny.
A promise is a promise, isn't it?
Got it? Jeez.
Love?
How dare you deceive me?
Why did you want to marry me so badly?
Snap out of it.
You can have this.
Have this scrap of metal instead of marriage.
Here she comes.
- What happened? - What's wrong?
- You didn't make it? - I made it. I made it.
- You made it? Wow! - Really?
Shh...
There's someone else I have to thank now.
- Huh? - Huh? Who?
Hey!
- It's Kang Woo! - Kang Woo's coming.
Is it true?
You and Ms. Ju Ina are dating?
- Are you two really lovers? - When did you start dating?
Why did you keep it all secret until now?
