He will be able to succeed this time.
You're the first actor I trained.
How can you lose the entire alimony to a fraud?
I'm pregnant with Chairman Jung's child.
Don't come here again, and live quietly.
I lost everything.
That's why I have to live.
Please help me.
How did you change Bum Woo?
I slapped him across the face to help him get a grip.
This is Lara who'll be playing the bar owner.
Do Na.
Please call me Director Ha.
I understand, Director Ha.
You must be upset with me.
You have the sole authority over the casting.
I'll be grateful if you think so.
Please go in.
Let's start. Ready.
1, 2, action.
- Cue. - Cue.
Hold on. Cut.
Why are you wearing gloves?
This pot is too hot.
Then you should've held it with a dishtowel or something.
Okay. I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - Let's go again.
Be careful!
Goodness.
Cut.
I'm sorry.
- Are you okay? - I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry. - It's okay.
Sorry.
Shouldn't you go to a hospital?
I'm okay.
Did you protect Do Hyun because he's your senior?
You know, my role in the drama...
is to be loyal to him.
I guess you got used to your role so much.
You're decent if not for asking to hit you.
It's too bad.
He protected me on purpose...
to make a fool out of me, right?
I think he did it out of reflex.
Shouldn't he have dodged then?
Is that right?
By the way, I think that restaurant lady...
is the madam of JU Group.
Why would you bring out that annoying lady...
who advised me to act more delicately?
Think hard.
Think what?
She's Do Na's biological mother.
Is that how it works?
If you want to win her favor,
you better win her mother's favor first.
That lady looked down on me so much.
Goodness.
You said you liked Do Na.
Why is this so complicated?
Stop, your hair is getting ruined.
- Goodness. - Oh, right.
We have no time to go to a salon.
Hello, let me introduce myself officially.
I'm Lara's youngest daughter.
I see.
My mom still has a lot to learn.
Please be understanding.
You have to be prepared before you come to work.
It's not something others should understand.
Cue.
It must be good since I used delicious kimchi.
Help yourselves.
- Let's eat. - Yes, sir.
Cut.
Lara, say your line more clearly.
"The kimchi isn't ripe enough. I'm not sure if it's good."
"Help yourselves."
Oh, I'm sorry.
Don't be too nervous.
Relax.
Thank you.
Let's go again.
Ms. Shin is here.
Hello, guys.
- I can act right away, right? - Yes.
My goodness.
Lara.
Hi, Hwa Im.
Thank you.
- Drink. - Thank you.
I'm still upset...
because you didn't invite me to your wedding.
I'm sorry.
It was a joke.
My nickname was your lackey back in the days.
I got cast in dramas thanks to you then.
After your marriage, I suffered a lot...
because no one cast me.
I see.
While you held that fancy wedding,
I lost my brother and Se Hyun due to a car accident.
I even had to raise my 10-year-old nephew.
I felt so resentful...
because life seemed so unfair.
I see.
Director Shin...
is my nephew.
And what happened to you?
I read about your divorce in the article.
Are you making a comeback?
I mean, isn't it too small a role for the great top star...
to choose as her comeback drama?
I'm not in the place to be picky right now.
Why? Did something happen?
Well... It's complicated.
He wants to begin the shooting if you're ready.
I'm ready. I'll be there soon.
Director Ha.
You must be moved to work with your mom.
Come in.
Why is her reaction so cold?
Director Ha doesn't take me as her mom.
You call her like that?
Why doesn't she take you as your mom?
- Give us a bottle of soju. - Okay.
Cut. Lara.
Open the bottle like it says in the script.
Okay, I'm sorry.
It must be tough since you're doing this after a long time.
In the drama, this restaurant is where my mom used to run...
before she passed away.
We might run into each other often from now on.
Okay.
Let's go again if you're ready.
Okay.
Let's go again.
(Chairman Jung Young Woong)
Mr. Chairman, it's time to leave work.
It's past 9pm, sir.
I don't think I can sleep.
You have to sleep well for your makeup tomorrow.
Right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye.
I didn't see this coming,
but this does feel a bit strange.
We'll stay the same like we always have.
You should go to bed early.
Don't worry.
I won't be late for your wedding.
The house might feel empty without me.
How about you tell Sung Ah to move in?
She left the house by herself,
so why would I call her in?
Thinking you'll stay in this huge house alone...
makes me worried.
Don't worry about me.
Do a good job...
living with your in-laws.
Okay, I will.
Don't cause trouble,
and live quietly.
I know what you mean.
Cheer up, Dad.
Let's chat some more at my house.
Maybe next time.
Why? Come over, and talk with me for a while.
- Later. - Shall I find another place...
if you're uncomfortable going to her house?
- That's a good idea. - Okay.
No.
I was too nervous today that my legs are wearing me out.
I need to get changed too.
Let's talk later.
I see. Sorry, I wasn't considerate enough.
Where's your car?
Well...
We'll go by ourselves.
- We have a spare car, right? - Right.
No, you really don't have to do this.
Go home in a comfortable car.
You're too kind, but it's okay.
Your youngest daughter is just like your young self.
You had such a high pride.
Get some sleep.
I'll wake you up when we're almost there.
I...
did terrible today, didn't I?
Yes.
But you started it on your own.
Right.
Still, I made a start.
Yes. Thank you.
Hello. Please come in.
No.
Sir, you're here.
I'm not sure if the kimchi will taste nice.
I'm not sure if it'll taste nice.
Sir, you're here.
Hello.
He looks good on camera, right?
It's not too bad.
Don't you think the right side of his face looks better than the left?
The left looks fine.
Don't you think his hands look a little awkward?
They do look awkward, don't they?
He should try being a little more natural.
You worry me.
- Why? - You're like a mother.
You're just like a mother...
who's only focused on her kid during a kindergarten recital.
You're going to talk about maternal love again, aren't you?
You're practically obsessed with this guy.
Nice move.
Don't try to avoid the truth, Do Na.
What truth?
You...
have feelings for him.
Stop talking nonsense.
Hey, he's the first actor that I ever got to coach.
It'd actually be weirder if I wasn't obsessed with him.
I'm just saying that it's a bit too much.
Don't you know that I go half crazy once I put my mind to something?
I'm saying this because I'm worried that you might go completely crazy.
I'm not crazy.
Just keep editing the video.
How ridiculous.
Dad.
Thank you for...
raising me until now.
I also enjoyed...
living my life with you.
I hope you live happily, my daughter.
Okay, thank you.
Sung Ah.
I think your biggest trait is that...
you have a very unique voice.
You especially have a very nice voice when you sing low notes.
The way you jump from one high note to another is also very unique.
In that sense, your performance was very refreshing.
Thank you.
Well, in my opinion,
it seemed like you were trying too hard...
to make your voice sound attractive.
So I didn't really enjoy seeing that.
I think your greed to impress the viewers is a bit too much.
So I felt very uncomfortable throughout your performance.
That's all.
Thank you.
Eat before you leave.
I don't have time to eat.
We just came to get changed.
My gosh, you guys are way too busy because of work.
At least we earn money.
My goodness, I'm so thankful.
- Bye. - Bye.
My gosh, at least drink some soup...
My goodness. They're so fast.
They could've at least had a bite.
- Dong Woo. - Thanks.
How did you end up casting Lara?
I just did.
I wonder if something's going on with her.
How could she make a comeback with that kind of role?
I don't have time. You should ask her yourself.
That's the best thing you've done in a while.
Starting from today, there will be a new procedure in the contest.
The judge who gave the lowest score to a contestant...
will have to actually team up with that person...
for the next round.
The contestant who got the lowest score today...
is Jung Sung Ah.
And the judge who gave her that score is Yoo Gil Joon.
I look forward to working with you.
I'm sorry that I made you end up with a female student.
Are you playing around with me?
How would I ever dare to do that?
Come to my office in 30 minutes.
My gosh, why can't he just give me a ride?
Sung Ah.
You've finally entered the gates of the fiery pit.
You can do this!
- Okay, we're ready. Let's shoot. - Let's shoot.
Okay, here we go.
Ready. In 1, 2...
- Action. Cue. - Cue.
What was that? Cut. Cut.
Are you okay?
- I'm fine. - Gosh, you're bleeding.
- Go treat him. - Okay.
Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine.
Let's take a 10-minute break.
Let's take 10.
My gosh.
Not a single day passes by quietly.
I'm still really happy.
I'm sure you are.
Yesterday, you got burned. Today, you got punched in the face.
I don't think I need to slap you anymore. Don't you agree?
That's different.
You didn't slap me today because I only had action scenes.
You don't know how uncomfortable I feel right now.
You still got hit in the face.
It's not the same as getting slapped by you.
Do I need to be the one hitting you in order to help you act?
Yes.
Don't spit it out.
You're bleeding more.
My gosh, I wonder if you'll have to get stitches inside your mouth.
It's not that bad.
Why are you smiling?
I like how you look when you're worried about me.
Stop trying to be funny.
Wipe the blood, and come back.
(Joon Ho)
Where did he go?
I guess you're a woman after all.
I guess so.
I don't want you to go to your wife with a clear mind.
Gosh, Hye Mi. I'm sorry.
Why did you drink so much?
I just met some friends,
and they kept making me drink.
They're mean.
I'm sorry. Goodness.
I'm sorry, Hye Mi...
You should change...
This is our first night together.
- I'm sorry. - Cut!
- Are you okay? - Let go of me.
Are you all right?
What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?
It's not that.
Bum Woo keeps doing things we didn't discuss about.
I thought it looked more natural.
I want your character to stay stern...
without many big actions.
Let's take a 10-minute break.
We'll take 10.
Hey, your jacket will wrinkle.
Where is Man Soo? Whenever I need him, he's not here.
You saw it too, right?
It looks like he got training...
to make me look like a fool, right?
He's a new actor.
I'm sure he just prepared many things to show.
Did you also see how he disappeared with Do Na whenever he got hurt?
Do Hyun, please be Min Hyeok.
Min Hyeok wouldn't talk about Do Na.
Let's focus. Focus, Min Hyeok.
That jerk disappeared with Do Na again, right?
Min Hyeok!
Where did they go?
We have to go home now.
Joon Ho.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Hye Mi.
That was the worst possible first night ever.
I'm sorry. I really am.
My friends are quite mischievous.
I don't think you should hang out with those kind of impolite friends.
I won't.
You must be very upset.
I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you.
Go take a shower.
We should go down and eat something before we head home.
Okay.
- That's not her. - It is.
- Why would she work here? - I don't know that.
- You must be mistaken. - I'm not.
It's not her.
Excuse me. Could you come here for a second?
Sure.
I'm sorry, but you're Lara, right?
- You're Lara, right? - Yes, I am.
See? I told you.
- I knew it was her. - You were right.
But why are you working here?
I feel like I won an unexpected prize.
I was actually feeling down,
and you took me out on a drive.
You shouldn't feel down when you're with a child.
It's because you didn't answer my calls.
I'll be honest with you.
That night was...
just a mistake to me.
- I know. - I will try.
I will try...
to get closer to you.
Thank you.
- I'm sorry. - Look.
Considering the plates you've broken, you should pay me instead.
But I'm giving you this because I feel bad that...
a famous person like you is working here.
Take it.
- Thank you. - Clean this up, and leave.
Could you help her clean this up?
Okay. My goodness.
How pathetic.
What have I done with my life?
(Episode 10)
Let's try again.
Again.
You didn't give her a honeymoon. You should be good to her.
Of course.
Also, you don't need to wear hanbok.
I want you to think of this house as your home and feel comfortable.
Thank you.
Shouldn't she wear it to show that she's a new bride?
Seo Hyun. Don't try to be the mean sister-in-law,
and just marry someone.
Aren't you being too nice to Hye Mi?
Hey, you're a fifth wheel to us now.
Hey. Come out.
Don't you know you have to sing more softly?
- I tried to. - You're not doing it at all!
Sir.
I get that you're upset you're stuck with me,
but my performance affects your reputation now.
So please stop being angry at me.
Just teach me step by step.
Here is your first lesson. You talk too much.
Mother.
Listen. Can I go and see the place you live?
Mother.
I brought some kimchi and side dishes.
You'll be upset if you see where I live.
I'll clean the place and do your laundry...
when I have spare time.
You don't have to do that.
Lead the way.
Come along.
Are you all right?
I'm fine. Go.
Please answer me
Please
Yoo Gil Joon, you petty, little jerk!
Sung Ah.
She's Do Na's grandma.
Hello.
- She's my youngest daughter. - Yes, I heard you were a singer.
I'm not a singer yet. I want to be one.
I'm Jung Sung Ah.
I heard the news from your mom.
She said you were on TV. That makes you a singer.
Mother, you didn't have to.
I wanted to cook you a meal before I went.
- Eat up. - You should eat with us.
I had a late lunch, so I don't have an appetite.
Come on, eat up.
- Thank you for the food. - Thank you for the food.
Grandma, the soup is awesome.
I even make a living with this.
She runs a restaurant.
I'm sure you have a lot of customers.
You're such a friendly girl,
and you have cute features too.
Thank you for the compliment.
- Eat up. - Okay.
Try this too.
She never knew of such difficult life.
What led her down to this?
Wow, he can do action scenes too.
I even sent him to an action acting school.
What was that mom face?
Hello, how are you...
Hello.
What brings you here?
We came to see the footages.
I'm Kim Chi Bok, the CEO of Seol Do Hyun...
and Shin Hwa Im's agency.
Hello, I'm Lee Young Hee.
Lee Young Hee.
Don't you think his moves stand out a bit too much?
I don't think so.
Do Hyun's moves look great.
Right?
Do Hyun is overly sensitive...
because the first air date is near.
I'm not that old,
but I read too much as a child,
so my eyes got old a bit early.
It's not that bad.
Why would you suddenly bring that up?
You're right. Why did I?
Hello.
What brings you here?
I told him to come to review the scenes.
- Let's go. - Why?
Let's look at some more scenes.
We already saw everything. You have bad eyes too.
Director Ha, you haven't eaten, have you?
- Ms. Lee, please join us. - Yes.
- We already ate dinner. - When?
They didn't eat. They didn't.
She wants to eat with that kid, Bum Woo.
She's my ideal type.
What?
The editor.
Why are you thinking about her instead of my business?
I like someone who's like my mom.
My mom is pretty glamorous,
and the editor was almost exactly like her.
She wasn't glamorous,
she's just fat.
You don't know a thing about women.
Director Ha is too thin.
What could it be?
Why does he keep sticking up for him?
Lee Young Hee. Even her name sounds so innocent.
Does she like such skinny guys?
Her eyes were so pure too.
It's better for guys to have big features...
- like I do. - I miss my mom.
People won't say that you look awkward.
You need to make your big break with this.
Do you know how much Do Na was concerned...
Goodbye, then.
Thank you.
Bum Woo. Kim Bum Woo.
Hey, you...
You...
What's wrong?
Are you crying?
That didn't seem like me.
Thank you.
That's the kind of life I wanted to live.
Do you...
Do you want to eat?
I'll just go.
Okay. Bye.
Eat something before you go chauffeuring.
Okay.
Am I his mom or something?
Hello.
- Hello. - I didn't know you were an actor.
Oh, I've never been on TV.
Please look after my mom.
How could I? I'm just getting started.
But you were pretty good.
You're too kind.
I'll see you at the shooting.
I'll be working as her manager for a while.
I see.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Hey.
- A bowl of rice soup, please. - Sure.
Our shooting is troublesome, isn't it?
You're paying me for that.
And when people see this place on TV,
it'll be like free TV ad.
What if this place...
gets so famous that it becomes a tourist attraction?
Over here.
Say hello to him.
He's the director who's using our restaurant for his drama.
She started working here as of today.
I said I didn't need the help,
but she insisted that she'll work for free.
What could I do?
You seem very different from our first meeting.
Things have changed.
Isn't it hard for you to do this job?
I need to learn everything...
that'll help me become a better actor.
I'm glad you're motivated.
I'm really bad, aren't I?
To be honest, yes.
I'll try harder even to the point of death.
So please don't fire me.
If I don't get to act now,
I don't think I can hold on.
Okay. Please try harder.
Goodbye, then.
Goodbye.
You finished shooting at 4pm. Why are you so late?
I had dinner outside.
Ha Kyung brought these herbal tonics for us.
I'm giving these as a bribe so you don't scold Ha Young too much.
I don't need herbal tonics.
Of course, you need them. They're good for your health.
I feel so sorry whenever you visit our house.
I'm used to it now.
Is that right?
Someone like you is perfect for Dong Woo.
Goodness.
I don't want to avoid getting pregnant.
I said it because I thought you'd want to enjoy our newlywed life.
I want to give birth to about three children and raise them soon.
Let's take time in having kids.
We need time to get used to each other.
And we still have to focus on work more.
You'll do as I say, right?
Okay.
What? They're still seeing each other?
She's his secretary, so it's obvious.
I mean in private, not for work.
Mom, he went to study abroad with her...
in exchange for not marrying her.
You think he'll break up with her easily?
This won't do.
Gosh, what can you do?
Have you ever stopped him from doing what he wanted?
What if Hye Mi finds out?
He will never let her find out.
I'm not sure if my daughter is doing great.
Of course, she's doing great.
Our house feels much brighter with her there.
I'm glad to hear that.
I plan to make Joon Ho work in the distribution industry this time.
Instead of launching a new company,
why don't you sign a partnership contract with us...
and advance in the field as our subcontractor?
We'd be more than happy if you let us do so.
Then please proceed that way.
Those two will have to lead the two companies anyway.
I think it's better to proceed slowly with it.
Can in-laws be this cooperative with each other?
- Let's drink. - Sure.
Sit.
How have you been?
I hear you're still seeing Joon Ho.
He's married now, so you should end things with him.
I'm willing to end this relationship...
if he wants to break up.
You're not breaking up with him because he won't let you go?
I'll appoint you to a position in the US branch.
Leave this country.
We won't leave any trace.
How can you be so sure?
Trust us, ma'am.
How about this?
You don't like it? Well...
- This is pretty. - Welcome.
Hello, how much is this?
- It's 5 dollars. - 5 dollars?
It's nice and comfortable.
Try this. Open up.
Isn't it good?
- It's good. - See? I told you.
How's your training going?
It's just going.
What do you mean?
You should do it right and make a debut this time.
- He doesn't like me. - Why?
It's the man whom we met at the police station the other day.
He's the friend of the man who sexually harassed me.
What?
Hit me. We don't have much time.
I'll do it now.
Is it good now?
Yes.
- She slapped him again. - Was that how she slapped him?
That's horrible.
Did you want to see me?
Get in for a second.
Get off for a second.
Go ahead.
Why do you keep slapping Bum Woo's cheeks?
Well... It's something personal.
As a fellow actor,
I can't sit back and watch my junior...
get assaulted by the product assistant.
Well... It's because...
Bum Woo has camera fright.
What?
I don't understand.
He says he becomes alert when he gets slapped in the face.
Are you saying that he asked you to slap him?
Yes.
Is that all?
What? What do you mean?
You're not in a special relationship with him?
Why do I have to explain that to you?
Because I'm interested in you.
I'm interested in you.
I...
You don't have to reject me now.
I'm aware that you don't like me yet.
But I believe you'll feel the same way soon.
Soon,
we'll begin shooting, so get ready.
I think you got rejected.
I'm not someone who'd get dumped by women.
I think you did for certain.
- Like this. - Yes.
Okay, let's go. Get ready.
1, 2, action.
Cue.
Mr. Min, what brings you here?
I have an appointment with someone.
I see. I'm here for a seminar.
Oh, say hello. She's our history teacher.
- Hello, I'm Min Hyeok. - I'm Jin Su Jeong.
I'll see you later.
Cut. Let's go again.
Let's stress Min Hyeok and Su Jeong's eye contact more.
Okay.
What brings you here?
He has a meeting with Chairman Park.
- What's that? - They're filming a drama.
Who's she?
The director is the one who's standing by the camera.
- Let's film until here. - She's the one next to him.
Let's film the rest later.
Okay, I'll let the others know then.
My mom...
waited for that man all her life.
I worked as a loan shark and bought this restaurant for her.
She told me about that man for the first time that day.
You've had such a difficult life.
Hold on.
- Cut. - Cut.
Well...
I hope the lady puts more emotions into her lines.
I have to give a cynical smile and continue my lines after this.
But I don't think it's going to work.
Okay.
You heard her, right? More emotions, please.
Okay.
Action.
You've had...
such a difficult life.
My gosh. I'm sorry, Lara.
Isn't it too much to cry here? Don't you think so?
I'm sorry.
Let's go without tears.
- Let's go again. - Let's go again.
Action.
You've had...
such a difficult life.
Everyone has a sad story or two.
What's your story?
There's not much to it. My husband cheated on me.
He kicked me out,
so I've been living like this since then. That's all.
Director Shin.
- Cut. - Cut.
Isn't she reading her lines too dryly?
I have to open my heart to her in the next scene.
Do you think it'll be connected smoothly?
Since she's talking about herself,
I think it's better if she talks in a dry way.
Is that so?
But this is a very important scene for me, so let's do it over.
Sure.
Lara, you can just do it the way you just did.
Okay.
Did you and that woman used to be close?
Yes. We made our debuts together.
We were close like sisters...
for seven years.
She just seemed quite temperamental.
She's a professional.
She often played my servant or maid before.
Now, she's a renowned actress.
You say she's your friend, but she was hard on you.
She's just being professional.
I guess so.
There is no reason why she'd be mean to me.
She's much more successful than me now.
I hope you'll become famous as a great actress as well.
- That'd be difficult. - Why?
Even if my acting gets better,
it will be outshone by my beauty.
Forget it.
Jin.
Yes, boss.
- Can you sing? - Okay.
The moon I'm looking at tonight
Looks so sad
I guess it has an empty, lonely heart
Just like I do
I lie down in my empty room
And all kinds of thoughts come to my head
With long sighs and cigarette smoke
Another day passes by
Director Ha.
I'll give you a ride.
Didn't I tell you I was interested in you?
So?
Please get in.
No, thank you.
I prefer the subway. Goodbye.
Is that so? In that case,
I'll take the subway with you.
I said I'm going back to the broadcasting station.
I'm going there to see the edited version.
- Who is she? - What's going on?
Who is she?
