(Episode 5)
We should go home.
Please go ahead.
I'll check the schedule before I go.
Do you want to have a drink?
Be good to your grandmother.
It must be hard for her to walk on eggshells around you.
I'm home.
- You're back. - Okay.
I had a few drinks.
You still managed to walk home safely.
Gosh, Grandma.
What are you doing? You're a big girl.
Grandma.
Even if you don't call me like that,
I'm your grandmother legally.
Legally,
I'm Lee Seong Jin's daughter too.
Do Na.
So...
nothing has changed.
Nothing.
Did you drink with Kim Bum Woo?
No, with Director Shin.
That's surprising.
He hardly drinks.
He treated me.
He must have felt sorry for you too.
Hey! Why would he feel sorry for me? There's nothing wrong with me.
You startled me. You're overreacting a little.
I hate myself for being like this too.
It makes me think I can't be better than this.
Let's just hang out for a bit.
What do you take me for?
Gosh, you are...
- What do you think you're doing? - Hey.
- Do you know this girl? - No.
Stay out of it then.
You little...
Gosh, let go of me.
- Let go of me. - Stop.
All right. Bring it on, you punk.
I will sue you for assault, you jerk.
I will sue you for sexual harassment.
What?
Look at you, hitting it off with each other.
All right, goodness.
Thank you.
No problem.
I run by the Han River for two hours.
I work as a part-time, designated driver.
I took relaxing medicine to calm myself down.
What's wrong?
I think there's something.
Wait a second.
Grandma.
What?
When I entered elementary school...
You know, when I was too nervous to read in front of other kids.
Why are you bringing that up?
You aren't shy of anything now unlike in the past.
You fed me doenjang then, right?
The next day, I was able to read in front of them.
It was cheonggukjang, not doenjang.
Grandma, is it really effective?
Does your confidence grow when you have cheonggukjang?
Sure.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Grandma, where is it?
It's in one of our crocks.
One of our crocks?
Goodness.
I'm here.
Hey.
I was really shy when I was little,
and this helped me increase my confidence.
You...
Your condition is worse, so eat all of this.
Here. Eat up.
Haven't you stopped vomiting yet?
Why isn't it getting better?
It's because he has severe indigestion.
He's receiving a sedative, so he'll get better soon.
I guess it works only on certain people.
What should I do with you?
Brad Pitt?
He's more enthusiastic because he loves the role.
Here. I'm done signing a contract with him.
Then which Chinese actors will be in it?
You know Zhang Ziyi, right?
Zhang Ziyi and Leon Lai.
We're discussing a guest appearance of Jackie Chan.
What about Korean actors?
That issue has been giving us a headache.
So many actors are willing to join,
but they aren't popular worldwide.
Let's stop the business talk and drink some tea.
Well...
Did you secure the investors?
Of course, I did a long time ago.
We got investment from those in the States.
Thanks to that, we can film the movie without any money issues.
- Goodness. - I see.
Sir, it's Zhang Ziyi's manager on the line.
Is that so?
2 servings of jjajangmyeon and 3 bottles of hard liquor.
What's taking you so long?
Bring the food quickly.
He's good at Chinese too.
Well... I'm all better now.
I almost killed you.
Maybe cheonggukjang worked only for me.
Wait, do you want to throw up whenever you hear the word?
No, that's not true.
I guess I traumatized you with something else again.
Still, thank you for your concern.
What's the use? It only caused a reverse effect.
I'm thankful and glad...
that you...
care for me.
Let's end our meeting here for today.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Choose a dress, and send her a reply.
Can I choose the one which I'd never wear for my wedding?
That's why I'm asking you to choose.
I'm a lucky woman who gets to pick my man's bride's wedding dress.
I bet I'm the only one.
I'm sure it'd be only you who thinks that's being lucky.
What brings you here?
Have a seat.
I'd like to cancel the PPL advertising contract.
For what reason?
Because we shouldn't have anything to do with each other now.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Denying it won't solve the matter.
You already signed the contract.
We've never done anything to justify your demand.
Ms. Ha.
Are you pretending not to understand?
Or are you just shameless?
Ms. Jung.
What has changed in our relationship?
We're business-related, so we simply need to do our work together.
I'll go then.
She's indeed my mom's daughter,
seeing how stubborn she is.
Cheers.
She's your little sister, so don't be so cold...
She isn't my sister.
We're only a contractor and subcontractor.
So you need to lay down your pride and be nice to her.
I didn't do anything wrong.
It'll only do you damage if the contract gets canceled.
- Is she pretty? - Hey!
Why would you bring that up?
You startled me.
Goodness.
You almost turned me deaf.
I'm the fool for telling you this.
Still, I'm your only friend to whom you can unburden your worries.
Let me pour you another drink.
- Here, here. - Thanks.
Hey.
Why are you here?
How's your vomiting?
I'm all better.
Bum Woo.
Tell them you're confident no matter what.
Tell them you can do it for certain, okay?
Okay.
What's going on here?
Lunatic, are you in love?
This is shocking news.
It's love
Lunatic?
Go.
Hi.
Have you been well?
I cast you, so I'm not.
I'm sorry.
Was she of any help?
She gave me a lot of help.
Then will you be able to say your lines without stuttering?
I'll do my best.
You always did your best.
The only problem was that the results were horrible.
Come on, Director Shin. Don't break his spirits.
What's this?
Are you taking his side now that you guys are close?
I'm sure he'll be able to do a good job this time.
Bum Woo.
Yes, Director Shin.
You're only going to get one chance.
If you make a mistake on your first shoot,
I'm going to let go of you.
I want to invest in that movie.
We already have investors.
With more investment, you'll be able to shoot a better quality movie.
Well, that's true.
But this isn't something I can just decide on my own.
I can invest two million dollars.
Listen to me, Lara.
Investing in a movie comes with great risks.
So I'm not so sure about this.
I always had great taste in movies.
I even appeared in a movie that...
other people told me not to because they thought it would fail.
But the movie turned out to be a huge hit.
I'm saying this because I have a good feeling about this one.
Please let me invest in your movie.
My gosh, I don't know what I should do.
- Come on. - My goodness.
Gosh.
I'm sorry.
- What was she like? - Sorry?
That girl.
Why are you even curious about her?
Because she's the reason why my marriage broke apart.
Dad, are you thinking about getting back together with Mom?
No.
I just asked you because I got curious.
She's neither a man nor a woman. She's just weird.
She's really stubborn too.
I'll try my best to cancel the advertising contract.
Work is work.
If they didn't do anything wrong, just carry on with it.
Don't give people things to talk about.
If I don't cancel, it would seem like I'm helping her out.
That would make people talk too.
A promise is a promise.
Keep it.
Okay.
Ta-da.
What's that?
I was worried that you might not eat properly.
- Why are you so happy? - Me?
What's there for you to be happy about?
Well, I can't be crying my eyes out every day.
I came to feed you in such a long time.
Is it so hard for you to say, "Thank you"?
You shouldn't spend too much money.
I'll take care of my own life.
Do you know how to compose songs?
Why all of a sudden?
I think I might be able to...
let you sing a theme song for a great movie.
Mom, what did you get yourself into?
What do you mean?
A movie director I know is going to shoot a really good movie...
Don't waste your time. I'll take care of my own career.
Sure, you will. You haven't even made your debut yet.
I said I'll take care of myself.
You got that stubbornness from your dad.
Don't talk about him in front of me.
What did he even do to you?
You're the one who decided to leave home.
I have to go.
Let's go together.
I leased a car...
and even hired a driver.
You're not even that busy.
Why would you need to lease a car and hire a driver?
I'll take care of my own life.
I'm not going to ride that car. You should leave now.
Stop being stubborn.
That doesn't sound too bad.
Yes. Okay.
Hey, Do Hyun.
Why are you making a fuss?
JT Group wants to hire you as their brand model.
Director Kim must've recommended you because of how well...
the car advertisement turned out.
What a surprise.
She wants to have dinner with you tonight.
What?
No way.
Are you thinking positively about the contract?
Yes, I'm going to do it.
We should shake hands now that we're in the same boat.
By the way,
I brought you a small gift to celebrate our deal.
I tried my best to pick out a design that you might like.
Do you like it?
I'm sorry.
I already have this one.
- Really? - Let me ask you something.
Why are you being overly kind to me?
You're right.
Why do you think?
So you're a man, are you?
You make me want to have some fun with you.
Hey, open the door.
How did it go?
Rich girls always pull the same moves.
Did you offend her again?
I don't care if I did. Why would I have to be careful around her?
Your contract's on the line.
She'll send the contract tomorrow.
Really?
Good job.
- Call Do Na. - What?
Why?
("Acanthus")
Do Hyun...
was analyzing his character.
And he wanted to check...
if he was feeling the right emotions for the character with you.
That's why we asked you to come.
I'll leave you two to talk.
Shouldn't you be doing this with the other main character?
I don't even have any lines for this.
How do you expect me to read lines with the other character?
Then what do you expect to do with me?
You seem to have a good understanding about...
Min Hyeok's character.
So we can talk about this script...
and dig deeper into his emotions.
What would you like me to do?
All right.
Here. You can read Su Jeong's first dialogue.
"Who are you?"
"You don't need to know."
Don't you think you're glaring a bit too much?
Was that a bit too much?
Don't you think I should leave a strong impression...
in order to make Su Jeong become curious about me?
Min Hyeok is someone who doesn't care about the world.
All he cares about is managing his organization.
So why would a guy like him look at her with such googly eyes...
when it's only his first time meeting her?
What? "Googly eyes"?
- It looks cheesy too. - What? "Cheesy"?
My gosh.
Never in my life...
have I heard anyone tell me that I have a cheesy look.
Let me tell you about my charm.
My eyes are deep.
My deep eyes are my charm.
My gosh.
I can't believe you called me cheesy.
Can't I even say what I think?
Tell me specifically why you think I'm cheesy.
Specifically,
you just are.
You look so cheesy.
My gosh.
Also, is that your habit?
What?
You pace around when you can't think of anything to say.
That makes me uncomfortable too.
Gosh. Anyway,
study your character a bit more.
Goodbye then.
Look at that. She's leaving again after saying what she wants to say.
- I'm a busy person. - Gosh.
This is infuriating.
Do Hyun.
What?
Do you like her?
What are you saying? That's crazy.
It's obvious that you do.
I think so too.
Do both of you want to get fired?
You're home.
Why are you here again?
I invited her over to chat.
Sit down. Let's have a drink.
Have you ever seen me drink?
You do drink sometimes.
Do you have to embarrass me like that?
Don't you have any pride?
I do. That's why I'm not giving you up after this kind of humiliation.
I want to see that I made the right choice.
Have your lovers' quarrel by yourselves. I'll excuse myself.
Aunt.
- What? - I don't have any feelings for her.
Don't say that to her face.
So stop bothering me like this.
Ha Kyung. Don't you give up on Dong Woo.
You're the only one who can save him, okay?
(Episode 6)
- I'm home. - Hi.
Hey, do you want some ramyeon?
Why would you give her ramyeon this late at night?
Eat it all, and get fatter.
Ms. Park, are you cursing me?
I told you not to eat it, but you chose to eat it anyway.
And now, you think I'm cursing you.
Grandma, I got paid today.
That's great.
I'll buy you some winter clothes.
I'm old now. I don't need new clothes.
Wear them to the community center,
and brag about your good granddaughter.
Even without new clothes,
I'm the most beautiful one there anyway.
My goodness.
Why can't you even eat ramyeon neatly?
Neither of you are ready to get married.
Gosh, why would you bring me into it?
The way I see it, it'll be harder for you to get married.
Goodness. It's so dirty that I can't sit here anymore.
Gosh, it's so dirty. You're messing up the laundry.
I think you need to wash them again.
Mr. Yoo.
I told you not to show up again.
I heard you had my name removed from the cast.
What about it?
I passed the last preliminary round...
and fairly earned the right to be on that show.
What gives you the right to cut me off?
I listened your demo, and it wasn't good.
- Did you really listen to it? - Yes.
Really?
I said I did.
I have 5,000 dollars.
Are you trying to bribe me?
It'll be enough to hire a lawyer.
I will sue you officially.
You'll do what?
I will have the law decide which of us is right.
You're abusing your authority.
The judge has the right to decide who gets to be on the show.
So let's find out if it's true.
What kind of a girl is that tenacious?
You look...
cute when you eat.
Sir.
I barely convinced the parties concerned.
We decided to accept your investment.
Oh, my. Thank you, sir.
When will you be ready to make the investment?
I can do that right this minute.
Listen, Lara. Don't you think you're being a bit hasty?
Why don't you give it some more thought?
You know that...
once I decide to do something, I never turn back.
Look at you.
Thank you, director.
Cheers.
I'm going to make a comeback with a new life!
Honey, wait for me.
Once you see a different side of me that you didn't know about,
you will fall in love with me all over again.
Bravo!
I'm not sure if you'll like it.
It must've been troublesome to do this alone.
I'm sure it's not perfect because I prepared these alone.
In that case, let me know.
Forget it.
We're doing this as a formality.
I can't ask you for excessive wedding presents.
Thank you, Mother.
Getting involved in this lawsuit won't be good for the program,
and people will talk about how unfair we were.
Don't I have the right to decide on the contestants?
It is true that she made it through the audition.
Can you give way just this once?
Gil Joon.
Hey, Dong Woo.
How's the theme song looking?
Oh, I'm putting a lot of effort into it, so it's taking a bit.
I don't mind if you take a bit longer. Make sure it's good.
Okay.
Nice.
- Go wash up. - Okay, I will. Thank you.
I'm not sure if you can make it up to that scene.
How do you have enough energy to live like this?
You work as a chauffeur and a construction worker.
It seems like you barely get any sleep.
I'm good.
- Bum Woo. - Yes?
Why do you want to be an actor so badly?
Why?
I want to live a different life.
Don't you like your own?
I don't.
If you don't love yourself,
I think it'll feel pretty empty no matter how successful you are.
That might be the case.
But I'm willing to take the risk.
Why do you hate your life so much?
Wait, what did you feel?
I have no idea.
You don't even have a kid. How can you feel maternal love?
I'm just saying I'm feeling something similar.
Hey, Do Na. Get a hold of yourself.
You took him to debut as a director.
I feel bad about that too.
I tried everything I could because of my own greed,
but he truly thinks I'm sincerely helping him.
I saw this in a magazine.
It's really dangerous for a woman to feel that way towards a man.
You want to look after him for life with a sense of responsibility.
Hey!
It's not like that.
I really hope it isn't.
Get to work.
Hey, great job. You were good.
Great job today.
What else can we do after this?
There's nothing more you should do for me.
It's all up to me now.
Stop feeling responsible for him. Stop, stop, stop.
Excuse me.
Excuse me, I'm sorry but...
(Emergency Ward)
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I'm sorry.
Mom.
Are you her daughter?
Yes, what's going on?
Your mother drank too much and collapsed...
at our hotel bar.
Mom.
Sung...
Sung... Sung Ah.
Something is weird.
What do I do now?
What on earth is going on?
Mom.
What do you know about this Director Park?
All you have is his number.
Yet, you dared to invest two million dollars?
He wouldn't do anything odd.
I've known him for a very long time...
What's with you?
You don't know a thing about movies to invest in one.
He even had a picture he took with Brad Pitt.
Did it ever cross your mind that he may have photoshopped it?
What's that?
Why are you so naive?
All you had was two million dollars.
Does it make any sense to give that away...
without looking into the project?
No.
I'm sure something's wrong. That's why he can't be reached.
You drank and even collapsed because you were anxious too.
My goodness.
Did you eat something weird?
You can go out.
What's wrong?
- It'll sting. - Okay.
Goodness, your blood is so dark.
There.
I'm home.
What's wrong?
She has an upset stomach.
She threw up, and her blood is very dark.
- Are you all right? - Yes, I feel better now.
Careful.
Be careful.
Goodness, why did you get sick?
Hey, maybe you're pregnant.
- How dare you? - I give up. I surrender.
- Do you call yourself a friend? - I surrender.
Okay, fine.
But you do seem a bit suspicious.
Why?
It's your first time being so concerned about a man.
Didn't you get sick because you were concerned about Bum Woo?
He's not a man. He's an aspiring actor.
Well, can't an aspiring actor be a man?
And he's much younger than I am. Nonsense.
- He's only three years younger. - You...
Do you want to get kicked out?
Never mind, then. Sorry.
Goodness.
I think it's fraud.
You should file a report first.
This can't be true. This just can't be.
Why did you get yourself into this without thinking?
What will you do now?
Mom!
Mom.
Are you up?
Mom.
You're up. Do you feel dizzy or sick?
If you fainted twice within a short period of time,
she'd better get hospitalized for a thorough examination.
I'll move you to a room.
We have a spot open in a room for six.
- We'll move you there. - No, thank you.
I want a ward for one person.
Mom.
You wasted all your money,
and you need to pay for the hotel fee and car deposit.
Why would you demand this room?
Some people might recognize me.
No one will recognize you.
I was a famous actress. The elderly...
That's not important here.
You don't have time to care about what others think.
Did you not call your dad after I collapsed?
Don't you have any pride?
Still, we don't know how he'll react. Call, and let him know.
Mom, you know him better than anyone.
Even if he hears that you got conned and are in the hospital,
he isn't the type to come see you.
Please stop being foolish.
When will you come to your senses?
Why are you eating so little?
I have no appetite.
Shall I get you some herbal tonics?
It's okay.
How is the preparation for your wedding going?
Yes, my mother-in-law is satisfied...
with the wedding gifts too.
That's good.
Don't make your wedding too grand.
Keep it small so that people won't recognize the absence of your mom.
Okay. I'll do that.
Is this your car?
I don't have a car. I rented this.
You drive.
Is something the matter?
Why do you ask?
I mean, you suddenly asked me to go see the sea.
Focus on driving.
The closer your shooting day comes,
the more you'll get nervous.
Bum Woo.
Yes.
The waves are so strong like that,
but it's calm and quiet under the sea.
It's important...
just how much you can remain calm now.
I understand.
The quiet sea flows...
under the wild waves.
Water flows inside the water.
Like so,
you need to do the same.
"Water flows inside the water."
I'll keep it in mind.
Here...
and here.
What are you doing?
Eat this.
I have hands too.
Still...
Feed yourself.
I'm taking care of you because you feel like my brother.
What? Why are you looking at me like that?
Well, I was surprised to hear that.
Hey, they might get burnt. Flip them already.
I'm taking care of you because you feel like my brother.
Put them all in here.
- I'm back. - Hi.
Did you go to the sea or something?
You have such a keen nose.
You smell salty.
I went there for work.
And why is your face so red?
Maybe it's because I slept on the way back.
Go in, and sleep.
My face isn't red at all.
"I think she likes to hold hands too."
The result doesn't show any problems in your body.
Rest until tomorrow.
You may leave the day after tomorrow.
My head hurts so badly that it might blow up, but I'm fine?
Why don't you...
get mental treatment after your discharge?
Okay. Thank you.
If your dad hears that I'm sick...
Being sick won't be of help at all.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello. Thank you.
- Hello. - Hi.
Gosh, ma'am.
Ha Young, long time no see.
I'm so happy to work with you.
I'm happy to work with you and Do Hyun too.
Director Shin.
I need to talk to you.
Me too.
It's about the guy who plays Jin Hee.
You mean, Bum Woo?
I've worked with him a few times.
I was so irritated every time.
He got fired in the end.
Why did you cast him?
You don't know much about him, do you?
I do.
I was so annoyed that I almost fell down recently.
She said it happened recently.
I'm giving him a last chance.
His role is my close supporter.
If he irritates me from the start...
That'd affect my condition very much.
Director Shin, it's time to begin.
Director Shin.
Please replace him.
I have so much affection in this piece.
I don't want him to kill my mood from the start.
I can't work with him either.
Are you talking about Bum Woo?
See? She gets whom we're talking about right away.
You must be well aware of how terrible his acting is.
How did this...
If you knew about this, why did you cast someone like him?
He will be different this time.
How can you be sure?
I trained him.
