(Episode 31)
We have...
an odd relationship,
but I thought it'd be a good idea to know each other's faces.
I'm here to meet the owner of our production sponsor.
I'm here as your mom's ex-husband.
I wanted to know about my lover's daughter.
I never considered Ms. Lara as my mom.
Is that how you address her?
Yes.
I'm a director, and she's an actress,
so we keep a respectful tone.
That probably makes her lonely.
Because of your existence,
I divorced her.
That's none of my business.
You're cold.
Yes.
When it comes to Lara.
She paid the price,
so maybe you could be nicer to her.
I'm sorry,
but I don't intend to.
If you don't have any requests to make about the drama...
as the owner of our production sponsor,
I'll get going.
Sure.
Once your emotions subside, we can meet again.
That won't happen.
I'll get going.
Thank you for meeting me.
- I'm back. - Hey.
Why did Chairman Jung want to see you?
It was something personal.
Is that right?
I thought he wanted to get back together with Lara...
and wanted to discuss it with you.
I'll be going to a shoot now.
You should rest. I'll go.
Okay. Then I'll be editing.
How about the same size as this place?
That would be too big to start off with.
You should start small.
If the business goes well, you can expand then.
That's right. She's absolutely right.
Hey.
- What is it? - I have a favor to ask.
Ha Young is upset because she has very few scenes.
Please be nice to her.
Also, please be nice to me too.
I'm not tired out yet,
but it's true I'm hurt by how coldly you treat me.
- I'm a woman too... - Didn't you hear from my aunt?
About what?
That I like Lara.
Dong Woo!
This feeling won't go away easily,
so stop approaching me.
But... How is that possible?
How can you...
like someone like Lara?
What's so wrong about it?
- Welcome. - What happened?
- What? - Dong Woo...
told me he likes Lara.
- Did he say that to you? - Yes.
He was very open about it.
It's already a done deal.
Why did he bring it up?
Is it true?
No, it's just like...
a passing wind. Don't take heart to it.
But it didn't seem like...
he would give up on her anytime soon.
So?
Are you going to give up now?
No, but...
Will you be okay with letting Lara...
beat you?
What's with her?
What on earth did she do to win the heart...
of Dong Woo?
It's because Dong Woo is out of his mind.
He'll get over it soon.
It all depends on how you act from now on.
I met with your daughter.
Why?
Because she's the most important person to you.
I asked to see her first to get to know each other,
but she was cold as ice.
She called you Lara.
Yes.
She's hostile against me.
I thought you'd be getting along with your daughter.
She asked me why I showed up and turned her...
into an illegitimate child.
Cry.
I'm here for you.
I might not be able to understand the pain...
of not being called a mom,
but Sung Ah...
doesn't treat me like her dad either.
I can understand a little bit.
When a child turns their back against you,
it's deafening and hurtful.
I feel so sorry for her.
One day, her mother suddenly showed up.
She must've been confused and resentful.
Why did you come here?
The director of the drama President Kim talked about...
asked me for the favor.
I met with the director too.
I already declined.
I read the synopsis.
It'd be too bad to let it go.
It's not too late.
Won't you change your mind?
I can't at the moment.
Why not?
I'm already overwhelmed trying to get you out of my head.
When you're back from the trip...
After you're back, will you be able to get over me?
I'm a nobody.
Nothing ever happened between us.
Why would you give up on work so that you could get over me?
I'm just waiting for time to pass.
Can't you make it work?
It'd be a shame to let that role go.
I'll get going.
Bum Woo.
Why would you say something useless to Ha Kyung?
It's to help her give up.
After you told her...
you like Lara,
she said her pride won't let her give up on you.
I have no interest in her. What can she do?
Hey.
Why do you still have feelings for Lara...
when she's getting back together with her ex-husband?
Aunt. Don't you know me?
I'm not the type to change minds that easily.
So what is your plan?
What can you do when she plans on going back...
to her ex-husband? You fool!
Yes! I'm a fool!
It's my first love. Just because my first love...
doesn't return my feelings...
doesn't mean I can just easily...
tell myself to give up.
You are a perfect man.
Don't you feel embarrassed about liking an old woman?
I like her a lot,
and I still cherish those feelings.
I'm not embarrassed.
You fool!
Aren't you going out to shoot?
Director Shin will go.
All of that? Alone?
What if he drops from exhaustion?
We only have two episodes left. He wants to give it his all.
What about Team B?
He's a workaholic. His addiction is getting to him.
Here's some coffee for you.
I have to go to the washroom.
Hey. Hey, hey. Hey!
Young Hee, I think you lost weight.
Please don't overwork.
I'm exactly the same weight.
Then I'm glad.
I like you as you are right now.
Why are you doing this to me?
I have zero interest in you.
You look just like my mother.
I love my mother the most in the world.
Although that order has changed now.
If you like your mother so much,
go find another fat woman outside!
I never thought of you as fat...
nor do I want to find another woman.
Once I give my heart away, I don't take it back easily.
Goodnight.
Why am I swooning?
What? You gave up on my sister?
- Yes. - Why?
She's too good for me.
That's no reason to give up.
Weren't you confident?
I realized...
I should protect her if I really care for her.
Is giving up on her protecting her?
Because I'm a dangerous guy.
You? Why? Do you have a problem?
- Yes. - What problem?
Something that could bother a loved one.
I have a problem.
What's the problem?
You should go. I have to work.
Bye.
What is it?
I like Dong Woo.
For over 10 years.
It turned out that you got to him.
Not on purpose.
Are you bragging?
I'm not.
You're a nobody...
who's so clueless you get conned.
How do you know I was conned?
Everyone knows.
I never told anyone.
Only my youngest daughter and I know about that.
Word couldn't have gotten out.
How do you know that I was conned?
- Someone told me. - Who?
Do I have to tell you that?
That's not what I want to talk about.
What did you do to Dong Woo...
Were you involved in what happened to me?
How would I be involved?
You're crazy.
No. You were definitely involved somehow.
From now on, you'd better keep away from Dong Woo.
I'm warning you.
I know that it's none of my business.
I also know you won't be pleased.
But I must speak.
You can, as long as you don't allude to us being sisters.
I'm just as stubborn as you are.
I'll call you what I want.
Do you not have any feelings for Bum Woo?
Why should I explain that to you?
I think Bum Woo likes you a lot.
He said he'll give up on you.
He says he's dangerous and can't stay close to you.
I don't know what went on between you two,
but take him into consideration.
Don't let him back off.
We'll deal with our issues.
Stay out of it.
Do you know why Bum Woo says he's dangerous?
Can't you figure it out and help him?
Why are you so complicated?
Because of your mom.
I don't want to live like her. Is that good enough?
What do you mean?
Do Na.
Do Na said she can't date Bum Woo...
because she doesn't want to be like you.
Do you know why?
Why would she want to be like me?
I did something terribly wrong in the past.
What does that have to do with Do Na in the present?
Why would you have anything to do with...
her and Bum Woo's relationship?
She doesn't want to be...
reliant on men like I was.
I have no idea what you mean.
You won't get it.
You and Do Na are both just as complicated.
Complicated people scare me, and I hate them.
What is it this time?
The previous commercial will be our last together.
That's totally up to the client.
We're considering Kim Bum Woo.
Do you have a habit of collecting actors?
Your star is falling, and Bum Woo's is rising.
I'm curious.
Do you think he'll play along with you?
Well...
We'll see if he does.
Oh, you don't know about that.
He likes Director Ha too.
Chasing the wrong men could be your next hobby.
Come in.
That will make me fat.
Your mom told me to bring it to you.
Leave it over there.
Oh, right.
About your sister.
Ha Do Na.
Is she a terrible flirt?
She's not like that.
Are you defending her?
From what I saw so far, she focuses on her work.
She has a complicated web of men.
Couldn't you be mistaken?
Do you know her that well?
I can't say I know her well,
but based on what I saw so far,
she's not the kind of person you say she is.
Goodnight.
Birds of a feather, is it?
Unbelievable.
They picked you.
A new car ad.
Don't turn this down.
It'll be over in three days. Check out the pay.
(Modeling Contract: 300,000 dollars excluding VAT)
This is the beginning.
First an ad, then a drama.
Then you'll really make it as a star.
I'll think about it.
What's there to think about shooting a commercial?
Why does a rookie actor need to...
think about shooting a car ad?
Give me time.
You know, I thought Do Hyun was picky.
You're even worse.
Oh dear.
I wonder if our director ends up passing out or something.
Why?
Min Hyeok and Su Jeong's scene...
needed over 20 retakes.
Su Jeong was useless..
and ruined the last scene, but he had to use it.
Where is he now?
With the chief director.
I bet it's about wanting to beat "Wuthering Speed" in ratings.
I think...
our director's a bit weird.
- How so? - Until now,
he comforted Su Jeong however bad she was.
Today, he shouted at her out of fury a few times.
I bet Kang Ha Young peed her pants.
How could he embarrass me in front of the whole crew?
He wanted your last scene to be a good one.
He crossed the line today.
He asked if that was the best I could do.
Is he venting his frustration with you at me?
- Why are you blaming me? - Is he venting at me...
because you're bothering him?
That's your problem.
You don't see your shortcomings and blame others.
You were mean to me on set too.
I had a bad day.
You're my manager. I should be your focus.
Don't get distracted!
Are you complaining to me?
I hate my life!
I don't know what he's thinking.
He should've said, "Yes, thank you,"
but he wants to think.
Does that mean Do Hyun's out?
You help improve companies' brand image.
New cars aren't big enough for you, so don't worry.
It's just Kim Seo Hyun...
scheming away to make me jealous.
She thinks that casting Bun Woo...
will get me worked up.
It all works out for me.
I only saw his potential,
and he scored his first ad.
The internet's awash with articles and comments about him.
People still want his drama character to come back.
How can they revive a dead person?
The fact that they still...
want him back is proof of his popularity.
Do you want to end up as roadkill while on the road?
Sorry.
Do Hyun, Bum Woo may be a rising star,
but he's not your equal, so don't worry.
Did I say I'm worried?
I'm not.
Did he know we were talking about him?
Yes, Bum Woo.
Yes.
I see. Good thinking.
Good. We'll talk tomorrow in person.
Bye.
Bum Woo agreed to...
do the commercial.
Isn't that obvious?
He was playing hard-to-get with you.
It's so much money. He won't say no.
Right?
(Hyunpoong Chicken Kalguksu)
Director Shin.
What brings you here?
I can lie and say that I was working as a chauffeur.
But to be honest, I just wanted to come here.
What brings you here?
Do you want a drink?
Are you here because you wanted to see Do Na?
No, I gave up.
- Why? - I'll be a burden to her.
But I was headed there without thinking about it.
It's hard forgetting people.
By the way, why were you there?
If I'm lying, it was a coincidence.
To be honest,
I like somebody living in that neighborhood.
Do you like Director Ha as well?
You punk.
You have a wild imagination.
Then...
I met Lara there.
I want to be honest after having a drink.
Does Lara know?
She dumped me.
You and I both have to forget.
I'll regret all my life,
but I have to do this.
Why would you do something you'll regret?
I know myself well.
You're still young,
so do you think you'll meet somebody else?
No, I don't know...
if I can love somebody again.
I'm not confident.
Then?
You chose to forget about her?
Yes.
That's the only thing I can do for her.
Let's drink. We both got heartbroken.
Dong Woo.
Dong Woo, you...
You have filming tomorrow morning. Why did you drink so much?
I drank a bit.
Are you going to do this?
Do you have to show me how much you're struggling?
I wanted to rely on alcohol today.
You're a man. Act like one.
You're getting drunk...
over an old woman.
What do you like about Lara?
She makes me breathe.
And I strangled you?
You're saying I'm suffocating you.
Yes. You're suffocating me.
You always bring Ha Kyung over whom I have no feelings for...
and try to bring us together.
That suffocates me.
Am I doing that for me? It's all for your own good.
If you want to do something for me,
please leave me alone.
Even if you and Ha Kyung are not bothering me,
I'm suffering enough.
(Episode 32)
Are you sober?
Yes.
You're incredible.
You were drunk, and you still woke up on time for work.
I won't bother you,
so focus on work.
See you later.
I decided to let him be,
but I feel so anxious for some reason.
It's an important scene, so please try your best.
As long as Lara does her part.
Will you be okay?
I'll try.
All right. Let's get started.
Action.
I'll bring some soup.
Where's the soup?
Why are you looking at me like that?
Jin... I mean Kyung Su...
was my son.
What?
You killed my son.
You killed my poor baby.
You shouldn't have done that to my child.
Do you even know how it feels to have a child?
A mother who's lost her child is not afraid of anything.
I'll take care of it.
I had to do it.
Ma'am.
I died today.
So don't worry about me.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I couldn't protect Jin.
Cut. Okay.
Hey, Lara. Do you have any bad feelings for me?
You almost bruised my belly. It hurts.
Why did you push me so hard?
I didn't want to interrupt, so I had to hold it in.
That hurts. It's so painful.
I did it as a mom.
Great acting today.
Thank you.
It's a first.
You praised my acting.
Well,
I was satisfied as a director.
Keep up the good work.
- Are you okay? - Yes.
Well done, Mom.
You were great.
Did it go well?
Yes.
You should've directed that scene.
I'm such a fool.
I can't face her right now.
Are you that pleased?
Do Na acknowledged me as an actress.
Is it better than being acknowledged as a mom?
There's...
no hope for that.
Do you think she'll never call you mom?
You weren't always like this.
You used to have hope.
- Not anymore. - Why not?
Still, she complimented my acting.
That's good enough.
Mom, is there something between you two that I don't know about?
There's not.
I'm disappointed that...
you gave up trying to be her mom.
My attitude toward life has changed.
I'll be satisfied with what I have.
This is incredible.
Lara used to be huge.
I see why.
A mom who lost a child fears nothing.
Make her look good.
Focus on her emotions.
Are you opening up to her?
Not really.
I don't feel anything toward her.
As a director,
I'm just grateful that she's doing her best.
I think your blood must be icy-cold.
I hate my blood.
What?
I hate that my blood contains hers.
And my dad's.
I have to go.
Good luck.
- Chi Bok. - What?
Sign Lara.
Her as well?
We should've signed her before we did Bum Woo.
Because she's Director Ha's mom?
She looks good for a middle-aged actress,
and she can act.
She has potential.
Okay, I'll sign her.
I will manage everything for you.
I'll support you so that you can act as much as you want.
Would you make anything off an actress like me?
I'm a businessman.
I don't invest in anything that won't profit.
Jin, I mean Kyung Su.
He was my son.
What?
You killed my son.
I was playing a different scene before I left.
Who put this on?
Did you stop by the editing room?
Yes.
To see Lara's scene?
Is it that hard for you?
Does it seem so?
I heard you berated Ha Young a lot on set.
Even Chul Sun finds it strange.
I'd never felt this way before. I guess it shows.
Was she your first love?
Will you mock me for it?
I'd love to,
but I find it a bit sad.
Goodbye.
I has Secretary Park do a background check.
Nothing came up.
That's great news.
- But... - Is something wrong?
He has been coming home early,
but nothing's changed.
Is he still not sleeping with you?
He stays in his study until late,
comes to bed, sleeps, and goes out.
Did you try harder?
What should I do?
You silly girl.
If Joon Ho's the gruff type, you need to work him.
Get some sexy lingerie.
I'll look like a woman who craves attention.
You know what they say.
Men like a sweet girl during the day...
and a sexy one at night.
Were you like that?
I didn't have to be.
Your dad said he couldn't live without me.
Now, I'm jealous of you.
I'd never wanted to be like you.
I don't regret the life I lived as a woman.
I was loved more than enough, and I was happy.
Now, I'll focus on my career and be happy that way.
Weren't you going to quit when you got back with Dad?
He told me to go on acting.
What got into him?
He changed a lot after the divorce.
He must miss you a lot.
I guess I'm lucky.
As soon as I signed Lara on, we got an offer for her...
to represent a diet product.
What did I tell you? She has potential.
I want to learn from you and succeed myself.
- Sure. - Hey.
What could you learn from Chi Bok?
Learn from me.
I'm a great judge of character.
You're always bragging.
Let's go, it's time to shoot.
Should I become a psychic?
- Can we just go? - Yes?
Let's go.
Welcome.
Here you go.
Are you sure I'm a good enough model?
I think that you are...
the slimmest and the most beautiful model in the world.
Don't flatter me.
- Was that corny? - Too corny.
This worked when we were young.
I can't stand saying such things now that we're older.
Move out of that house once you get paid.
It must be uncomfortable staying with...
someone who doesn't care.
I don't want to move out.
Even if she doesn't call me her mom,
I want to live with her.
Lara.
How about we get back together...
and adopt Do Na officially?
If you think that much of her,
I should as well.
Thanks for the offer.
I really didn't think you'd say that.
But Do Na won't accept it.
She wants to be Ha Min Hyuk's daughter.
She's fiercely loyal to the woman who raised her.
I'll try to be good to her as much as...
I'm trying to be good to you.
You know that...
I won't go back to you.
That's why I'm trying so hard.
I had no idea that it would be so hard to...
win back my ex-wife.
I was surprised.
You wanted to shoot again even when they gave you the okay.
I have to show my best.
We'll use a stunt double for the driving scene.
- Why? - It's too dangerous.
I want to do it myself.
Even Do Hyun used a stunt double for it.
I'm a rookie. I should do it myself.
You're a professional.
I'm glad I chose you as the model.
Thank you.
Shall we go eat?
No, I have to go for my driving job.
We paid you for modeling.
Are you still doing a part-time job?
Yes. It's what I've always done.
You're interesting.
Am I? I better go.
He's out of the ordinary.
- Are you here? - Yes.
You must be proud that the actor you trained became a model.
Didn't you know?
Bum Woo is the new car model.
It's been a while since I last saw Bum Woo.
He must have made up his mind.
It's good news for you, though.
I'm proud of my Bum Woo.
"My Bum Woo"?
I can sense mixed feelings when you say that.
It just came out.
While he's getting over you, you should get over him too.
You might criticize me,
but I miss him.
I liked just chatting with him...
and joking around.
I miss that.
I'm curious how he's doing.
You need to be strong.
A moment's decision can change your life.
Try to give your heart to Do Hyun.
Did you get rid of her?
Yes.
If this happens again...
in your life,
I told you I won't forgive you.
I understand, sir.
Be faithful to Hye Mi.
Yes, sir.
- I'm home. - Okay.
- Hey. - Yes, Mother?
Joon Ho comes home early these days, and you don't have any worries.
Why do you look so glum?
It must be because I'm tired from work.
You shouldn't show all your feelings when living with elders.
I'll be careful.
It must be difficult for you.
He's already dead.
It doesn't matter where I am.
I don't know what to say.
- Is the revenge over? - Yes.
I see.
Could I ask you for a favor?
Yes.
Please get me a picture of Jin.
From now on,
I'll treat you like my own mother.
No, please don't do that.
Kyung Su alone is enough for me.
I'll come visit often.
I won't come out next time.
You must live your own life.
Don't keep visiting the grave of the dead.
I want to...
rest quietly here.
Cut. Okay.
The last shoot is over. Good job, everyone.
- Good job! - Thank you!
- Great job. - Good job.
- Good work. - Thank you.
- Everyone. - Good work.
- Good job. - Thank you.
- Good work. - Good work.
Good job.
- I'm home. - Welcome home.
Join us for chicken kalguksu. Sit down.
Okay.
Great job, Do Na.
The last scene was hard, right?
Lara and Do Hyun performed well, so it was fine.
What's gotten into you?
You answered me right away.
Do Na was acting prickly just a few days ago,
but she's gotten really soft.
If it was like any other day,
she'd say, "No, thank you," and go in.
She wouldn't have eaten with us.
Lara, don't give up being Do Na's mother.
There's still hope.
I'm taking a shower.
(Director Shin)
Yes?
It must have been hard to work on the last scene.
Not at all.
Thank you for giving me such an opportunity.
You're happy, right?
Yes.
That's all I need.
I'll hang up now.
(My Man)
I used to...
get you a rose...
every time you finished a shoot. Do you remember that?
I do.
I feel like we went back in time.
I had you saved in my phone...
as "My Man".
Even after seeing you and Ha Young,
why didn't it occur to me to change it?
Isn't it because you didn't want to change it?
I changed it today.
- To what? - "The kids' father".
When I think we've gotten closer,
you take a step back.
Wouldn't it be nice to be in love with you again?
Then even a single rose would have my heart racing.
Do you still have him...
in your heart?
Just let it be.
I won't ask you to get over him.
I thought about it,
and love...
isn't about being in love.
How you love is more important.
That's what I think.
I'm happy I have a good friend like you.
I heard you shot a commercial.
Yes.
You should have told me first.
I didn't want to annoy you.
If I ask why you're acting so cold,
I'll be giving you the wrong idea, right?
Yes.
I think I'm a selfish person.
I don't have the courage to embrace you,
but I'm sad we can't go back to how we used to be.
I'm so bad.
No.
If that's how I can be remembered by you,
I'm satisfied with it.
Bum Woo.
Yes.
Don't run away.
Face it.
Stand proud in front of me.
I'm going inside.
Can we have some more?
Have a drink.
- Mi Young. - Yes, Director Ha.
You've improved a lot. You were of great help.
- Thank you. - Let's keep working together.
Ha Do Na.
I warned you many times, but you ignored me.
Mi... Mi Young.
Do Hyun was mine from the beginning.
Was it you?
Do Hyun.
Do Hyun. Do Hyun.
Is anybody there?
Please help us!
I can't give up the woman...
I love.
I'm sorry. I'll go again.
(Why aren't you stopping me?)
Please say, "cut". I have nothing to do.
You got to take the chance.
I'm sorry.
Your...
For 20 years... What's wrong with me?
(He slaps himself.)
I'm not interested... Hold on.
(He continues to make mistakes.)
I don't intend to.
(It's a message.)
(You need to turn the sound off.)
Why would you stop?
No way. What am I saying?
I don't...
The director...
(She acts cute.)
Director.
Cut. You went too far.
(Bum Woo is cold. Don't make mistakes.)
