I was so touched that my heart thumped out of my chest.
Do F first
and re-schedule "Gumiho"* later. *Nine-Tailed Fox
You'll regret it if you miss the boat.
Are you sure that
"Count of Monte" is far better than "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho"?
Mr. Hong Jae Yi.
Since you knew it's going to be "Count of Monte",
why did you suggest doing "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho"?
Episode 8
Still not picking up?
Yes.
Let's video call him.
Director, our celebration is almost over
and we're going for second round. Hurry over!
Come quickly, Bok Ja is giving a treat.
No, I'm not.
We're going for second round. Hurry over!
Come quickly, Bok Ja is giving a treat.
No, I'm not.
Hurry over.
Oh! You jerk!
I knew it was going to be like this.
It's too...
Do you know?
- It's too... - Oh, yes, it is.
It's too smooth sailing to be true.
You know my high school nickname?
You were called "4 Woes".
4 Woes.
Sadness, bitterness, lamentation and misery.
Nothing good came out of 3 years of various studies.
A failure plagued with sorrows.
Tempting a church mouse like me with $40,000.
$40,000.
In the past, even $4,000...
was an impossible dream.
I'd even kowtow for it and now $40,000.
$40,000.
Amour Fund, Bae Gang Hee, Hong Jae Yi, and an upstart Go Eun Bi. It's exasperating.
By right,
good things should trickle in, bit by bit.
Everything came in quick succession and went out just as quickly. It's just too baffling.
Drink appropriately and go home.
Abandoning me for some better place?
Hey, Hong Jae Yi!
Beer money.
What a jerk!
Hey, Hong Jae Yi!
Taxi fare.
Aisssh.
You're leaving?
Ahjumma, another beer please.
You're deep in thoughts.
I had assumed you wanted to reject "Count of Monte".
Your sudden announcement came as a surprise.
Things might go as you desired,
but it might not be as you planned.
It's possible that nothing comes out of it.
What are you saying?
So far, you've been ditching out ideas
and nothing substantial.
Because of the size of the production,
more time is needed.
Frank's condition for "Count of Monte" was 2 months ago.
It's fine with me.
You might have your scheme of things.
Mind you, I've my obligations, too.
You keep going back on your words
and come out with convincing reasons for it.
Chief Officer Yoo.
I warned you not to step on me to accomplish your goal.
- How could you say that? - Was I wrong?
[Hong Jae Yi]
I respect Hong Jae Yi and admire his talents
and Bae Gang Hee's performing skills.
So do I,
but "Count of Monte" is more lucrative.
We had to agree on that, didn't we?
Do you have to be like this?
I was only acting on your decision.
Solely on my decision?
Chief Officer Yoo.
You schemed to protect your love.
I can see that but I'm unable to understand it.
You will, in time.
How much are you willing to sacrifice for love?
Sacrifice?
Like severing our working relationship.
Maybe I'll go all the way.
You won't regret the consequences?
After such a long period of time
I came here
After thousand years have passed
I'm still alive in this world
I keep enduring through various kinds of pain
And now, only I am left
I cannot fall into the river of love
I definitely will not love anyone again
But I...
After dreaming many dreams
He finally became a musical director
Only to realise it's akin to Midsummer Night's Dream.
What do you mean?
It's finished.
What did you say?
All is finished.
"Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" has been canned.
His beer talk is all nonsense.
Aren't we celebrating?
That Yoo Jin wanted to do a foreign production.
He pissed me off the first time I saw him.
Eun Bi.
Bottoms-up!
It boils down to not having faith in Hong Jae Yi. He's always like this.
Yoo Jin, he's a real jerk.
Thanks.
Teacher,
Teacher Hong Jae Yi,
are you in there?
Teacher.
[Yoo Jin]
Oh, dear.
I've forgotten, what's the time?
Already morning, it's madness.
Oh...
Teacher.
Oh, Do Hwa.
- What happened? - My Do Hwa...
My lead actress.
[10pm at Rehearsal Room - President Han Sang Won] [Emergency meeting for Gumiho production crew]
Yes.
Let's meet up before the emergency meeting.
Okay.
I have things to ask, too.
Where do we meet?
I gather, you already knew?
You think I'd miss such astounding news?
No.
I've instructed them not to tell before I meet up with you.
Still doing as you wish.
Ignoring others, hell-bent on your own goals.
Chief Officer Yoo had put in a lot of work,
but why, I don't understand?
Can't you see? I have no other options.
What are you saying?
You saw I had put in so much for "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" and now I have to can it.
It breaks my heart to do it.
I still don't get it.
If it's not obvious to you,
I'm afraid no one else can understand me.
I'm not hoping for your understanding,
just asking for your trust.
What do you mean?
How could I trust if I don't understand?
What sort of environment am I living in?
Why do I have to stick to this kind of family?
If you, of all people, can't understand me,
I can't expect any empathy from the theatrical troupe.
Acting as a fund manager,
I have to invest where it's most profitable.
When an opportunity presented itself,
I'm compelled to do some re-scheduling.
This is my official duty.
No regrets?
None.
Despite your explanation, your decision crushed the dreams of many, for the sake of money.
Is dream more important than money?
You think it's not?
Without money, dreams can't be made.
I'll lay the groundworks for dreams to come true.
This is one of the reasons for my decision.
It's really apparent that you're not going to regret.
No, I won't, Ms. Go Eun Bi.
I'm an entrepreneur. I don't make bad choices.
Then, why did you summon me here?
Why seek my understanding?
Because... you've put in the most effort.
Rather than hearing it at the meeting,
I felt I had to tell you personally.
I'm so very grateful.
My concern for you gained your insult rather than appreciation?
We don't appreciate our dreams dashed into pieces, Chief Officer Yoo.
I've explained it was pushed back not cancelled.
Pushed back indefinitely, in favor of other production.
If this is considered as a trivial matter,
Director won't drown his sorrows in drinks.
Teacher Hong Jae Yi...
Teacher Hong Jae Yi, he might not recover from this setback,
tottering from excessive drinking.
Is that exagerrated and insane behavior?
What?
Calling me up to show concern? Nonsense!
You're not going to fight it out at the meeting?
No.
I've heard all and said all that's necessary. It's a waste of time to attend.
What's with Grandma, I wanted condiments for soup.
Teacher Hong Jae Yi is agonizing now, isn't he?
What do you think?
He pulled me up when I have given up and now he let go so easily.
It's the first time I've seen him so drunk.
Eun Bi.
In a reclusive and quirky family, weird things are expected of them.
But this doesn't make sense.
It's totally unfair to Teacher Hong Jae Yi and the Director.
What about you?
Me?
Are you alright?
"Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho".
You can't act the role of Do Hwa...
What about me?
I knew I wasn't good enough anyway,
but was unwittingly pulled into it.
Why am I crying?
Aisssh, really!
Of course, you're most affected.
Through sheer effort you got the role of Do Hwa. You came a long way for the role.
It's okay.
Wipe off your tears.
It's okay.
The tougher the work,
the more necessary it is to eat good food.
Eat more.
You need to go to work, why did you come here?
I'm going directly to the theatre hall.
I have informed the office.
You're going?
After all, I was once a member of the "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" production.
The ambience will not be good over there.
You're worried for me?
Huh?
Do you care only for me?
If I could turn back, I'd still want him
When I came bringing the lunch box,
My man is sometimes acting awkward, not talking
I heard loud voices and waited outside.
Unintentionally, I heard both Go Eun Bi and you talking.
My man is
The sunflower that followed me only
Ra Kyung.
My sunflower
My man
It's a small matter.
He's standing beside me
Makes my heart pound
Just Go Eun Bi complaining to you.
That man, that man
You explained your stand.
Now belongs to her
Though both of you were very disagreeable.
The way he joked
His gentle words
But my heart wondered why
Was once all mine
you want to meet up with her privately.
What was I to him? What was I to him?
Would you care to explain?
A fragrance that dissipated
Every time I see Go Eun Bi
A memory that faded
A picture discarded
A person forgotten forever
or things related to her in this office,
I turn hysterical.
I hate myself for being like this.
I hate you for making me behave this way.
And I'm also fearful that you resent this side of me.
My man, my man
Ra Kyung.
When I think of those who suffered
He is no longer mine
I was regretful and sad too.
To hear my grouses
To comfort me
But I selfishly wanted Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho to be scrapped,
Gentle that he was
so you won't have to see her anymore.
It had come to this
Holding back tears
Managing a smile
I wave a last goodbye
Sorry.
I'm really sorry.
This might seem somewhat heartless,
but there are no other words to describe my feelings now.
Though business decision needs no apology,
but I want you to know that I don't feel happy at all.
You felt CEO Yoo Jin has done you wrong.
Although you might not believe it,
he really wanted Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho to be staged.
Our musical and movie crews,
they, too, suffered setbacks in productions.
But they knew everyone did their best
and found rooms in their hearts to forgive and hope.
You're saying
CEO Yoo Jin, like them, has sincerely done his best.
Usually when money is involved,
one's true feelings are doubted.
He acted truthfully.
I know him better than anyone
and I am here to speak out for him.
I don't want him to be misunderstood.
To believe him or not,
you have the right to choose.
Thanks for hearing me.
I have done it and ended it, too.
Good morning.
What are you doing?
Need to clear up your mind?
Why did you come here?
Because I'm jobless now...
I have nothing to practice for.
I have plenty of time on my hands, so I made traditional hangover cure.
Seaweed soup.
From your standpoint, the whole thing is so dumbfoundedly ridiculous.
You've pulled yourself together
and showed them some mettle.
Don't think too much.
Be happy that you had created a masterpiece music.
What about you?
I have eaten. Please eat.
What the heck!
I'm asking, are you alright?
Sure, I'm fine.
The meeting to discuss the re-contract,
are you going?
What's the use of going?
The "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho"'s chorus and work team contract
will remain unchanged but will be merged with The "Count of Monte".
Those with performer's contract
will be reconsidered for casting in The "Count of Monte".
However, they'll bypass the 1st and 2nd auditions.
This breaks all the rules.
Such a famous production, the entire nation is scrambling for audition.
Oh, shut up.
What's the meaning of this?
The US production company had strongly opposed it but
CEO Yoo Jin of Amour Fund
insisted on retaining the staff of "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho".
as the condition for producing The "Count of Monte".
Hates to be reprimanded.
Thinks he's never wrong.
Money makes a person brazen.
Or brazen person is a money-maker.
I can't figure it out.
"Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" is going to be produced
on even better terms, one of these days.
It is, afterall, a masterpiece.
You?
Me?
Where will you be when it is produced?
When the opportunity comes, I'll be auditioning, of course.
You still don't trust me.
What?
I've told you,
I wrote the song for Do Hwa in Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho specially for you.
I know.
I know, but...
Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow.
Tomorrow?
When do you think that 'tomorrow' will be?
Please trust me. This bold decision will bring international
recognition to our musical industry.
It's every nation's dream to be able to produce world famous musicals.
We will show the world our benchmark
and we can, because we have Bae Gang Hee to act with us.
I hope everyone will work together to put on an outstanding production.
The work and music are very outstanding.
I don't know what's holding you back
but in the eyes of performers,
he's a fool to reject the offer.
What did you say?
I'll stage "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" very soon.
How is it possible?
It's possible
but will be delayed by a month or two.
Really?
Why, you think it's not possible?
I didn't think it's impossible
but maybe improbable.
We agreed to do it together,
so let's persist until the end.
You said you're fine
but why are you so gloomy?
I have lost hope.
Let's begin anew.
Headache.
What are we to do now?
What's going to happen to Jae Yi and Goo Jak?
Nobody knows.
Are you happy? Really happy?
Are there any absentees?
I'm giving them a week to decide.
They'll contact me once they've decided.
I'll contact them when the week is up.
Undeniably, you're an artist.
Music instantly brightens you up.
How do you plan on reconciling with Hong Jae Yi?
I wonder?
Looks like a deadlock to me.
Knowing him, I'm sure he won't consent to direct in "Count of Monte".
Let's wait
and see how he'll react.
Don't think I have ulterior motive for showering.
Because I feel uncomfortable...
You're tired.
Why am I shaking?
So embarassing.
Hey, Goo Jak!
Sleeping like a pig everyday.
Get up.
Hey!
Wake up.
You're amazing.
Though you're my friend but truthfully,
I am proud of you, no joke.
Hey, Goo Jak!
The train is coming, your nose is hooting.
Want to drink with me?
Sure.
Come out then.
Hurry up.
What day is today?
- Jae Yi, wait for me. - Hurry up!
Who are we seeing?
Why are you not telling?
This is a pharmacy, you jerk.
Why come to a pharmacy?
Gosh...
Have some tea.
Ah, yes.
You bore the look of a musician.
Pardon my just-woke-up look.
You were pretty drunk.
I'm surprised that you came punctually.
I had said I'd come.
You really want me to invest in musical?
Tea, too hot?
Are you alright?
It's hot.
But...
you said you want to invest in musicals?
Not decided but this jerk approached me.
Just a few years ago he spurned my offers
and yesterday he turned up unexpectedly.
What's the name of the drama?
Gumiho... what?
"Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho". $40,000.
We can start with an initial fund of $4,000.
Korea's first public musical concert
needs new guidelines. Our normal contract is unsuitable.
You bypassed 2 levels of auditions for some performers.
Except for directors and composers,
put the others on economy class travel.
What's the matter, Chief Officer Yoo?
You're not new to this.
I have said it before,
our first showcasing of Korea musical stage to the world.
If it performed well, it will bring overwhelming success,
but this is also a double-edged sword.
We're uncertain of Asian audience's receptiveness.
It's prudent to cut cost.
I agree, Chief Officer Yoo,
cut as much as we can.
I thought you were so confident of your decision.
The concert will run for 6 months, right?
Assuming it's 6 months, we can only book some rural theatre.
Most probably, 4 months and 2 optional, depending on circumstances.
You want more coffee?
I can assure you, it's an excellent musical.
Let me give you the details.
Save your breath.
I won't comprehend them anyway.
I invested mainly because of Hong Jae Yi.
Thanks, you won't regret it
Since I'm putting in $40,000,
I deserve a condition.
Condition?
Or putting in another way - a double insurance.
[Tarot Card]
Indeed, indeed.
The accumulation of my youth, middle and old age luck
can't even challenge that of a pre-schooler's.
But this guy,
he's my lucky dragon.
Wishing pearl, prosperity carp and golden piglet.
What nonsense!
There's this chairman of a pharmeceutical company.
Successor of his father's business.
Earns loads of cash because of a patented drug.
Has so much money that it's uncountable.
He wants to invest in us.
$40,000.
Willing to procure for us superstars.
The dream of every musical producer,
superstars with block-buster ratings.
Hey, get up.
Let's go.
Hong Jae Yi,
I'll work hard this time.
I really, really will work hard,
I'll even stake my life.
Your life had been staked so many times.
You won't lose face to Yoo Jin, Bae Gang Hee and Han Sang Won.
Fine, fine, let's go.
Hey, pay me.
Pay her.
Oh, my.
How much?
Please enjoy.
A musical.
Please see our musical performance.
Come and see "SHE".
What? An SMS.
What's up?
Have you eaten?
Yes.
I had too many drinks yesterday.
What? Eh? Really?
Unbelievable.
Madness.
You guys thought I'd gone mad or was drunk.
But it's the truth, absolutely the truth.
"Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" is rising again.
You must come and don't be late.
We're challenging "Count of Monte".
Excuse me, do you know of any good shrink?
Oh, really!
What do you want me to do?
Choosing shoes solely for the design
is like committing suicide gradually.
Haven't you heard?
Who said that?
The point is to choose carefully.
Check the insides, take your time.
Hello?
Why, what are you doing? Watching movie?
It's not what you think.
Have you seen the SMS?
What's the meaning of starting "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho" again?
Oh, that.
Hong Jae Yi did mention re-starting it.
It's true, we're going to do it.
Goo Jak isn't mad.
What do you think you're doing?
Talking.
I can answer Bok Ja's query.
I don't mean that,
if she found out we were together.
Hey, you said you came to make me hangover soup.
You meant to conceal this from her?
Not like this,
I mean, if we're known to be together at this time...
It's 3pm, any reason why we can't be together at this particular time?
I don't mean that but...
Eun Bi, do you...
feel awkward sleeping in a man's bed?
I'll wash these.
Why will you wash them?
Because I slept on it.
You have a contagious disease?
No.
Why?
There's a new toothbrush in the bathroom rack which you can use.
I have bad breath?
Hey, Eun Bi,
I wasn't making fun of you.
You're permitted to use the towel I just used.
If you're self-conscious, get a fresh one then.
Eun Bi.
Pardon me, I'm going home.
No reward?
What reward?
Why, I worked like frenzy the entire day
to unfreeze "Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho"?
Because of grievance and indignation.
If I met with grievous and indignant matter,
would I retaliate or just shrugged it off?
Because you like musicals
so I want to give one to you.
When are you going to give me what I wanted?
I'll wait until you're ready.
Our largest tabloid's 20th anniversary publication.
Why interview an old fellow like me?
Our readers know you're a savvy investor.
No, you guys exaggerated it.
We're also aware you have a controlling stake
in China's biggest steel mill.
Only a pastime investment.
It was speculated but briefly that
you're planning to use this to make a comeback.
Can reporters fabricate stories?
How's your father?
He invested in papers, magazines and broadcasting.
The company is doing very well.
I'll ask another question.
Amour Fund ventured into musical industry,
CEO Yoo Jin has caught the attention of many.
His business style and ethics is seen as similar to yours.
What qualities are important for your successor?
That's how they evaluated him?
Yes.
Calm, fast and accurate.
Am I right?
He thanked you for your hospitality.
They serve excellent soup here.
It's the reason why I often dine here.
He wishes to verify with you the long term collaboration with the musical troupe.
Because the musical troupe is recognised throughout Asia as better than us,
the proposal is beneficial to us.
But you have to make sure of your productions,
that they are always more spectacular than our rapidly expanding local productions.
They'll endeavour to meet our conditions.
Thank you very much. (in Japanese)
Eh?
I'm thankful and hope you to see again.
It was nice meeting you.
You can't speak Japanese at all? (in Japanese)
A businessman who can't speak simple Japanese.
I've seen him out.
He'll send us the proposal once he's in Japan.
Well done.
Chief Officer Yoo is more proficient in Japanese than me.
Interpreting for you makes me anxious.
You've done well.
Waiter.
Can we be drinking buddies at any time?
You and me.
Of course.
What's up?
You really don't know me.
Think deeper and you'll comprehend.
It's not bread and butter issue.
It's about being abandoned by one's father.
A son given barely enough time by his parents.
Don't waste your effort on being loyal.
What are you trying to say?
I'm worried for you.
You can't always be disappointed.
Or was I mistaken?
Heartache and pain is more likely.
So...
You're not as unaffected as you seemed.
You learn to take the good with the bad,
whether it's siblings or fellow workers.
Okay, so, what are you implying?
I don't like you.
That's not surprising.
I hate you more each day.
You think I instigated Amour Fund investors
to report to grandpa,
so you're holding a grudge because you got a smaller company to manage?
Wh...what?
I don't associate with someone who's teetering on the verge of collapse.
I warn you, don't go overboard.
For at times, I'm scared of myself, too.
You...
Why, are you going to splash me with wine?
Are you Director Baek Gam Dok?
Don't call me that.
Hi!
Because the project is very urgent,
I need your help.
What is it?
"Cheong Dam Dong Gumiho".
Here.
That girl in red, do you recognize her?
She's very popular now.
Not bad, eh?
Director Baek Gam Dok wants high fee,
he won't accept our terms.
Give it to him. It's okay.
We need him to compete with "Count of Monte".
Okay.
Sit here, are you tired?
Your dancing has improved greatly.
It's more powerful than on TV.
Face looks smaller, too.
You're right, she's pretty.
Let me introduce,
The directors of musical productions.
Pleased to meet you.
Hong Jae Yi needs no introduction.
What musical are you making?
Am I going to be a cat?
I've seen "Cats".
Jessie is so youthful and cute.
It's your best trait.
You're cute, too and I love it.
I am cute? Well...
How can we practice here?
I say we can. Why waste money finding another place?
But we have an investor.
Got to watch the expenses.
Are you sure we have an investor?
Why do you care?
I'll invest on the condition that you field Jessie in.
You want to be in a musical?
Definitely they did it before
The "SJ" had one last year.
Story about a composer, I think.
Anyway, they received many accolades.
Accolades, what are they?
Accolades...
Oh, really.
It means not bad.
When their ticket went online sales,
it was sold out in 20 minutes.
Our Jessie can hit the sold-out in 15 minutes.
Definitely.
It might not be smooth in the beginning.
I believe with practice, she'll be alright.
Got the appealing looks,
cute and dazzling, too.
She'll cause a stir in the musical industry.
Wow! Not bad.
You came directly from the office?
Yes.
How are the cast and crew coming along?
A bit strange.
What?
Some of them backed out from "Count of Monte".
They've returned the contract.
The retainer fees, too?
They used the card and money I gave them to pay their rents.
So, they're not in a hurry to sign up
because they have some money.
Who are they? Go Eun Bi?
Goo Jak's team.
But truthfully, it's a bit strange.

Get off the shadow of Hong Jae Yi.
Beginning from basic,
be my standby for "Count of Monte".
Standby?
If you trust only Hong Jae Yi,
he could change anytime.
What are you going to do then?
Can Hong Jae Yi shadow you forever?
Is the role of Do Hwa concerning only you?
What are you saying?
How can you resign so carelessly?
I want to back out. I don't want to act as Do Hwa.
