(Episode 33)
I can't believe this.
How could she stab him deeply enough...
to harm his organs?
It would've been terrible if it were Director Ha.
It's been five hours since the operation started.
Why isn't anyone coming out?
They said it was a difficult one.
I didn't think she'd do such a thing.
This is horrible.
So Do Hyun saved...
Director Ha's life.
What if Do Hyun can't make it?
Be quiet already. People might hear you.
It's not your fault even if he can't survive from this.
Mi Young did this out of insanity, so don't blame yourself.
It's because of me.
If it weren't for me...
He'll be okay. I'm sure he will.
The operation went successful.
From now on, it's up to the patient.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Do Hyun will wake up soon.
He's such a strong man.
He will.
Even if he doesn't wake up,
he'll be honored that it was...
for Director Ha's sake.
Think before you talk, will you?
Wake up already, Do Hyun.
- Is he awake? - Not yet.
Goodness.
I watched the news channel all night long.
They said nothing more after how his surgery went.
I was so worried.
The culprit got caught.
Yes, we watched the news at the hospital too.
She was hiding at her friend's house then got caught.
She committed such a horrible deed,
so she must've seemed suspicious.
Not at all.
She worked hard and was friendly. She didn't have any problems.
What about Do Na?
She's waiting for him to wake up.
Goodness, she must feel so sorry and anxious.
Goodness.
Is he still not awake?
Go back home.
Director Shin, Mr. Kim,
Man Soo, and I are here for him.
You don't have to be here.
Bum Woo.
Yes?
I'm still frightened.
I remember it vividly, yet it feels like a dream.
I can feel...
the pain when he was stabbed.
I keep thinking about...
his sorrowful eyes toward me even when he got stabbed.
I can't forget it.
You can cry if it's too much.
I don't deserve to cry.
Don't think about anything, and just cry.
How is Do Na?
Do Hyun is still unconscious, so she's at the hospital.
How did this happen?
I'm such a bad person.
I was so relieved to find out that Do Hyun was stabbed on her behalf.
It's because you're her mom.
Even in front of the operating room,
I was so grateful that it wasn't her...
while looking at Do Na.
I would've felt the same.
You aren't bad.
I hope he wakes up soon.
He could get into a coma if things go wrong.
Then Do Na will have to live with that guilt and burden.
That'll never happen.
Doctor Yoon is friends with Do Hyun's doctor,
so I've been getting news from him.
I was going to throw a fancy party for you...
to celebrate the end of your drama if it weren't for this incident.
I can't think of anything other than Do Hyun right now.
You must be tired.
Get some rest.
That's enough.
You don't have to go to the hospital again.
I should be by his side when he wakes up.
You're nothing to him.
He got stabbed because of Do Na.
Do Na should be there, not you.
Don't be like this, and stay at our aunt's house in Canada for a while.
Why?
I know you'll drink and cause trouble if you're here.
It won't do you any good.
I'll call you when there's a good offer.
- Go there right now. - No, I won't.
Please wake up now.
It's so hard for me.
I'm sorry that I'm being a crybaby when you must be...
the one who's suffering the most.
Still,
it's too hard for me,
so please wake up now. Please?
Do Hyun, are you awake?
Do Na.
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
You went through surgery and woke up after a week.
Have I been sleeping for that long?
Thank you.
Thank you for waking up.
This is the first time you thanked me.
Are you in a lot of pain? I'll call the doctor...
I can take this much pain for protecting you.
Goodness.
How can you joke around?
Do Hyun.
- Director Shin. - Are you okay?
I heard I'd been asleep for a week.
No, you were unconscious.
I'm relieved you're up.
Director Shin, Director Ha, and Chul Sun...
stayed by your side...
and only went home to get changed.
Thanks, everyone.
Go get some sleep.
Yes, you too.
I don't think I can sleep.
I'm still heartbroken.
Is it still that hard?
It appears so.
It seems like it's getting worse.
For the past 35 years,
I never knew love could hurt so much.
I don't need your sympathy.
Bye.
Do you know about Writer Yoon Ji Yeong?
Of course.
- Have you ever worked with her? - No.
Do you know what she's infamous for?
Yes, I heard she goes AWOL while still in production.
She's a great writer, but that's her problem.
So we decided to do a perfect pre-production.
Can you...
take this project?
Pardon?
Sir.
This is your real debut. It's your project.
How you'll manage Writer Yoon is completely up to you as well.
Thank you.
I will work to death. No, I will die on set.
- Director Shin. - Yes?
Did he tell you to take a project with Writer Yoon?
- Yes. - She's hard to control,
but once she takes a liking to you, she'll do anything.
Good luck.
I have a favor to ask you.
I know it's too much to ask, but can you take Team B for me?
Chul Sun, can you be my production assistant?
I'll be glad to help.
- Director Shin. - This is your drama.
Yes, I will take the initiative of the entire production.
But I still have a lot to learn from you.
You've worked with Writer Yoon before,
so you probably know how to handle her too.
Please help me out.
Director Shin, it won't help you to take a rest now.
It'll help you to have a busy schedule.
Are you threatening me?
Sorry?
Please.
I thought you quit smoking.
Don't you have bad lungs?
I did. I'm just holding onto it for my emotional stability.
I want to live as long as I can.
Anyway,
I heard this is your debut. Can you really handle me?
- Do trust me. - To do what?
I will do my best...
to make the drama look exactly like your script.
That won't be fun for me.
In that case, I'll film the drama. Why would I work with a director?
A director needs to add her own color.
That way, I can have fun because I can see...
how my script can be interpreted in different ways. Right?
Yes, you're right.
I will do my best to interpret your script in my own way.
What's with her?
Why does she sound so disciplined?
That's just how she is.
She was the director of Team B for "Acanthus".
She did very well. Give her your trust.
Then let's get to our meeting and see how much I can trust you.
Are you going to begin today?
I'm bored. We might as well do something.
My back hurts because I've been resting for too long.
I thought you were suffering from neuralgia.
Yes, no one will be surprised even if I die now. Happy?
You still have your temper.
It looks like you'll live for a long time.
Have you ever been to a male escort club?
Male escort...
No.
I am so relieved that you are beside Director Ha.
- I heard you're going on a trip? - Yes.
Where are you going?
I think I'll go to Nepal.
Why are you going to Nepal of all places?
I wanted to go trekking.
Okay. Have a safe trip.
- Do Hyun. - Yes, what?
Thank you very much...
for saving Director Ha.
Why are you trying to force yourself to give up?
It's hard to be your rival.
I'm asking because it feels like you have other reasons.
I barely managed to stay in the game until now.
You were a very intimidating rival.
You punk. Are you trying to comfort me?
No. I'll see you after I return.
Hey, Bum Woo.
Why did you drink so much?
I...
had some drink because of a meeting.
- Is this a new production already? - Yes.
I'm making my real debut.
Congratulations.
Sure, thanks.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Then when are you coming back?
I don't have a plan yet.
- Bum Woo. - Yes?
You are...
the only actor I brought up.
I know.
And...
I really like you.
I'm not sure if I feel like this...
because I like you as a man.
But...
when I don't see you around,
I get really worried.
When you get sick,
I feel sick too.
I really love you too.
I...
don't know if this is love.
But...
But I wish...
you would stay by my side...
like you always did before.
What in the world is making you sick?
I'll let you know when I come back.
You're so mean.
I can't be honest with you...
because you're not being honest with me.
You mean punk.
Watch your foot. Be careful.
- My gosh. - Wait a second.
So this is what her room looks like.
Mom, I'm home.
- Oh, hey. - What are you looking for?
Remember the hangover medicine I bought for you when you were drunk?
I'm pretty sure there were a few pills left.
Oh, that?
It's right here.
Did you drink?
No, Do Na came home drunk. I'm going to give it to her.
I'll give it to her.
I want to see what her room looks like.
I'm going to give it to her.
Here's tissue.
Go inside.
I helped Do Na throw up.
- Really? - Yes.
I even helped her get changed in the bathroom.
She was completely wasted.
But I had fun.
It finally felt like she was also a human being.
Since when was she not human?
You know what I mean.
She's sometimes too emotionless like a robot.
But today, I saw how humane she could be.
You smell of something weird.
I must've gotten some residue on my hands.
I thought I had washed everything away.
I'll also take a shower once Do Na's done.
Okay.
- Come on. It's past 12pm. - Okay.
I made you dried pollack soup. Eat up.
Why did you drink so much?
I drank with Writer Yoon and Do Na.
You work with Writer Yoon?
She's known to be a little crazy.
Do Na will be in charge, and I'll be Team B's director.
My gosh, what kind of nonsense is that?
Why would you let a newbie like her take charge?
I'm helping her out because she asked me to.
I don't want you...
to get involved with Do Na.
Helping her will naturally make you cross paths with Lara.
I'll eat outside.
My gosh, Dong Woo. Is even hearing her name painful?
Yes.
I can't believe he's so into her.
My gosh, this is so frustrating.
My goodness, it's been so long. This feels nice.
- Get me a hot cup of barley tea. - Okay.
It feels nice to be home, doesn't it?
Of course.
The hospital was so uncomfortable.
But I know you enjoyed Director Ha's daily visits.
Without her visits,
I would've escaped from the hospital already.
So is there any kind of progress with her?
I could say we've slowly started to become close.
- I'm jealous. - What about you?
How are things going with Young Hee?
I don't even run into her now that the drama's over.
You're so unattractive.
You little jerk. Be careful what you say.
Chi Bok, come on. I'm really healthy.
My gosh.
I'm still a patient.
I'm sorry for making you return back to Korea in the middle of your trip.
- We had to shoot a new concept. - I see.
Are you going to leave as soon as the shooting's over?
I'm not sure. I'm going to think about it after I'm done shooting.
The first advertisement you shot was very popular.
The company was very satisfied with the results.
I'm glad.
You don't seem to have become arrogant like many celebrities.
I thought you'd change since you've become so popular.
I've never considered myself famous.
I guess that's what makes you so attractive.
- Let's go shoot. - Okay.
Ms. Yoon, please wash your hair.
It's been a week now.
The longest I've lasted without showering was a month.
Good for you.
You can quit if you want to.
No one else will be able to deal with you.
You even need someone to remind you to eat.
I can't quit because you've grown on me.
Why? Are you disappointed because it's not about...
a rich guy dating a poor girl?
How likely is it for a rich guy...
and a poor girl to ever even run into each other?
I like it.
But it's going to be hard to write.
Really? Do you like it?
I wonder if the viewers will like it.
I like it because it's realistic.
But dramas are supposed to be fantasies.
Don't you think it could be a bit dangerous to go without that?
What can I do? This is what I want to write.
Then you should do what you want.
Are you saying you're going to do whatever I say?
You want me to take full responsibility?
Forget it then. I'll try writing something else.
I want to give this one a try.
I like the storyline. And most importantly,
I like that it criticizes the delusional thoughts of young people.
What about you?
I'm just worried you might suddenly...
go missing in the middle of writing the script.
Aren't we shooting beforehand because they're worried about that?
Are you going to go missing again?
No TV company would want to work with me if I go missing again,
so I'm going to try hard not to.
I'll just retire if things don't work out.
Writer Yoon, please don't be too radical.
I want Kim Bum Woo to play "Joon Seok".
He's popular these days.
And I want Lara to play "Madam Jung".
I liked both of their acting in "Acanthus".
What do you think?
I want those two actors to star in my drama...
no matter what.
What happened?
You should've called me if you came back.
I had to come in unexpectedly this morning.
I was going to go see you once I was done.
Come out once you're done. I'll be waiting at the bench.
We meet again.
Yes. Hello.
What business do you have with Bum Woo?
I have to talk to him.
You're done with the drama. Why would you need to talk to him?
Must I explain everything to you?
Please wait a little. I'll be done soon.
Okay.
Let me ask you something.
Do you have feelings for Director Ha?
I started having doubts about your relationship with her...
when I was looking into how apt you would be as our company's model.
I don't understand why I need to explain that to you.
I just don't want my company's model to get involved in any bad rumors.
That won't ever happen.
I'm sorry. The shooting took longer than expected.
What about the trip?
Are you back from your trip?
Or are you going to continue your trip after the shooting?
I plan to leave again.
I don't think you can.
The character's name is Joon Seok.
He's a host who works in Gangnam. Take a look.
Do you want to work with me?
The scriptwriter insists on casting you.
What about you?
I think it's good enough for your next challenge.
I'll read over it.
Did you face yourself...
during your trip?
Or did you ignore yourself?
I realized once again...
that I have to deal with it all my life.
You're pathetic.
I'm going to give up...
on my affection toward you here.
Read over it.
(Episode 34)
Are you okay with working with Lara?
Work is work.
To be honest, I like it.
I'm glad that I can work with her again.
It'll be painful to see her.
You know what?
It's good to see her even if it's painful.
That's too corny.
You brat. You'll know when you get dumped after dating someone.
It's not like you were in a relationship.
It was only your one-sided love.
- Are you mocking me? - Yes.
I've never thought that someone like you...
would say such a corny comment.
Anyway, be in full charge of the casting.
I'll only assist you.
Okay.
- Here, have a seat. - Thank you.
It's a synopsis.
("After This Night")
I want to cast you for a character named Madam Jung.
Are... Are you giving me a chance?
The scriptwriter wants to cast you.
Thank you.
Read over it, and tell me what you think.
You may not like the character.
No way.
- Lara. - Yes?
It's not proper attitude for an actress...
to accept any role.
Take the job only when you're sure that you can pull it off.
Okay.
I'll read over it and tell you.
But I have to say...
that I'm grateful...
for giving me this chance.
Read over it carefully.
("After This Night")
(Intention of the Drama)
Your father-in-law got that herbal medicine...
from a good oriental doctor.
Take it at least three times a day.
It doesn't matter when you take it.
What is the medicine for?
What do you think?
It's for you to be pregnant soon.
Why aren't you drinking?
Let me give you a piece of advice.
- Can't you be more feminine? - Pardon?
You focus too much on work. You're so cold-hearted too.
I think that's why Joon Ho doesn't feel attached to you.
Don't talk about work-related issues to him.
Try to be affable.
- Do you understand? - Yes, Mother.
I want to take the job for certain.
I can't miss this chance as an actress.
It's a totally different character. Do you think you can do it?
I'll try my very best. I'll even risk my life for this.
I will work to death. No, I will die on set.
Okay.
The scriptwriter will ask to see you in person before the script is out.
Okay.
And...
Director Shin will be directing Team B.
Tell me if it's too uncomfortable for you.
I enjoyed the chicken kalguksu that you sent me to the hospital.
But it's way better to have it here.
Right?
It must've gotten soggy on its way there.
He kept pestering me to visit your place as soon as he got discharged.
I had no choice but to come.
Good. I'm glad you're here.
I'm going out.
- Are you going on a blind date? - Yes.
A blind date?
Oh, hello.
What is this about?
How can you go on a blind date?
Why can't I go?
I'll see you later at home. Bye, guys.
Please give me a second.
What's wrong with them?
Mr. Kim has a crush on Ms. Lee.
- Really? - Yes.
Wait.
What's wrong with you?
How can you go on a blind date when you have me?
There's nothing between us.
So there's no reason why I can't go on blind dates.
You shouldn't do this. You know how I feel about you.
I don't know.
I mean, you only showed me the list of your fortunes, and that was it.
What?
What did she just say?
I want to play Joon Seok.
Okay. I'll tell the writer.
Director Ha.
What?
Can you take back what you said about...
giving up on me as an actor you brought up?
You won't open up to me. Why should I do that?
I was only giving up on winning your heart.
I don't want to give up on you as my teacher.
I'm disappointed because you can't trust me.
It's not that I don't trust you.
I just don't want to tell you everything about who I am.
You want to remain as my student,
but you won't tell me everything about you.
Then how can I help you as a teacher?
I can't tell you about it because you can't help me there.
Did you try telling me?
An old saying goes, "You must spread rumors of your illness."
Your heart is festering with problems, but you won't say a word.
I'm sorry. I have to go.
You're so harsh on yourself.
That's why I feel even worse for you.
You have a crush on someone? You, Director Shin?
I must be awfully drunk. I can't believe I said that.
Look at you.
I thought you didn't have feelings. But I guess you do.
Anyway, why isn't this love reciprocated?
I really wonder who she is.
She's a married woman.
My gosh, what has the world come to?
Shin Dong Woo has a crush on a married woman!
You know what? I know how you feel.
How do you know?
I had a crush on my professor when I was in college.
You feel like you might go insane.
I stuck around and tried to get him to notice me.
Then I just graduated.
Man, you've done quite a lot of stuff, haven't you?
Did you tell her how you feel?
I did.
Then you won't regret anything.
I couldn't even tell him.
That's why I drink my life away.
Writer Yoon.
What?
I know I shouldn't feel like this,
but I miss her.
You know, having a crush on someone isn't all that bad...
except that you can't see them whenever you miss them.
Do you know why I never go outside to this day?
It makes me feel really frustrated to see a man and a woman...
just holding hands.
All right, let's drink until we die.
- Be careful. - I'm sorry.
Hey, get over her.
Dong Woo is rather late.
He's been coming home late...
after he started working with Writer Yoon.
It looks like she can quit smoking, but not drinking.
Goodness.
Hey, Dong Woo.
Don't touch me.
She's trying to help you because you're drunk.
Hwa Im, if you like Ha Kyung that much,
you can marry her because I don't want to.
You're completely drunk.
Enough is enough.
I really despise you.
My gosh, what will I do with him? Hey!
When will he get a hold of himself?
- Mom. - Yes?
Dad said he's fine with you working.
Why aren't you going back home?
I don't feel like going home yet.
Are you still angry at him?
It seemed like he wanted to get back together with you soon.
Is it because of Do Na?
Is this because you want to spend more time with her?
Are you waiting for her to accept you as her mom?
Yes.
Oh, well, you know...
I don't think it'll happen any day soon.
But I want to wait a little longer.
Okay. Fine, I guess.
Your call cannot be connected. Please leave your message...
after the tone.
Mr. Yoo, this is Sung Ah.
Can you please give me a call...
when you get this message?
Or even a text message.
Or better, a voice message.
Mr. Yoo.
I miss you a lot.
Do Na.
Can you give me an advice on something?
Where's Young Hee?
She went home.
I see.
Take a seat.
What's up?
There's someone that I like.
But?
But he won't come home from his trip.
I have no idea where he is,
and I can't get a hold of him.
What do I have to do?
Go drink.
I can't do that because Mom gets worried.
Then you have no other choice. You just have to wait.
Right? That's the only thing that I can do, right?
And from now on, you should talk to your friends.
- Stop bothering me. - I don't have any friends.
I almost got abducted when I was five,
so I always had bodyguards around me afterwards.
Things got a bit loose when I got into college,
but because I've never made friends before,
I couldn't do it then.
And don't you think...
we'll get closer if I share these things with you?
Why do you want to become close with me?
Because you're my sister.
I never considered you as my biological sister.
Then why did you put in a word with the music director?
Well...
I saw you crying after getting dropped out, and...
You know what? You are not as cold...
as you would like to think you are. Okay?
Please leave.
Goodnight, Do Na.
What?
Bum Woo is going to work with Director Ha?
They made an offer through our agency.
Lara was cast too.
Then what about me?
Writer Yoon wants to work with Lee Hyuk Joo.
Am I worse than him?
Man Soo, do you think so?
No, that's not it. But if you join her drama,
the cast will be too similar to "Acanthus".
It's a full pre-production. I don't think it'll matter.
And the two male leads are playing male escorts.
- My gosh. - What?
I mean, they aren't just escorts. They're male prostitutes.
It won't look good on your filmography.
But Do Na will be directing the drama.
That's true.
Stop it.
We will be more than glad to have you join us.
But you know how Writer Yoon is.
You'll only suffer throughout the production.
- Sir. - Yes?
I want to be a part of this drama.
You're here.
Do Hyun apparently...
wants to star in your drama.
He asked me where Writer Yoon's studio is.
He wants to try meeting her himself.
I'm not trying to boast here.
But this is just too mean, Director Ha.
To be frank, I even saved your life.
And you know how much I like you. How could you not send me a script?
That's because...
Writer Yoon insists on casting Lee Hyuk Joo.
My gosh.
Where's her studio?
I'll convince her myself.
I'd like a role in your drama.
I don't care how small of a role it may be.
You've always seemed corny to me.
What made you think of me that way?
It's as if someone dipped you in a bowl full of oil.
What... What did you say?
You could always use a corny... No.
You could always use another character.
Why do you want to star in this drama so badly?
I've always...
wanted to work with you, Writer Yoon.
See? You're so corny.
Fine.
I'll be honest with you.
I like Director Ha.
That's why...
I want to appear in this drama.
That's a lot better.
What?
Do Hyun, Bum Woo, and Lara...
are all cast in the same drama?
Yes. Things kind of turned out that way.
I'm going to kill you if you act fickle again.
What are you talking about?
Don't act like you don't know.
You used to be so fickle with Do Hyun and Bum Woo.
That's not going to happen again.
Don't forget that Do Hyun saved your life.
You need to get married to him to repay his kindness.
What kind of storyline is that?
Why would I get married to him just to thank him?
My gosh, look at you.
This is why they say, "Be careful of who betrays you."
What can I do? I just don't have any feelings for him.
Hello?
Yes, I'm Ha Do Na.
What?
(Emergency Medical Center)
Hello.
- Are you Kim Bum Woo's guardian? - Yes.
You were the first person on his contact list, so we called you.
He got beaten up by three drunk men in front of...
the chauffeur service tent.
How badly did he get hurt?
He has bruises on his knee and elbow.
And he fractured his shoulder.
We injected him with a stabilizer...
because he had trouble calming down.
Thank you.
What happened this time?
Why do you always get hurt?
Bum Woo.
Hey, Bum Woo. What's wrong?
Look at me. It's me, Do Na.
Look at me.
Bum Woo, what's wrong with you?
I hoped to...
coincidentally bump into you.
But I didn't know I actually would.
Director Ha and Sung Ah aren't home yet.
Director Ha got attacked recently,
- so I got worried. - Why are you avoiding me?
Do you have no feelings for me at all?
Then you wouldn't have to avoid me.
I'm going to get back together with...
Isn't that an excuse?
I feel like you're using that as an excuse to avoid me.
Why haven't you...
gotten back together with Chairman Jung yet?
Well, that's because...
I'm not ready to...
And why aren't you ready?
Please don't do this.
- If you keep doing this... - Then what?
Please...
Please just let me be. Please don't sway me.
Can't you...
Can't you just...
be honest with your emotions and let yourself get swayed?
How can I do that? How?
Are you crying because of me?
Why would you cry because of me?
This is enough for me.
I don't want to go any further.
But I do.
No.
I want to be with you until the end.
I'm already grateful to have received your love.
I don't want anything more.
(Emergency Medical Center)
You need to get hospitalized.
I don't. My illness isn't something that can be cured.
Then tell me. What exactly is that illness?
Tell me, you punk. You better tell me...
if you don't want to see me die of frustration.
What is wrong with you?
What are you so afraid of?
You told me that you know...
what causes your illness.
Tell me what that is.
You have to tell me in order for me to know!
What's wrong with you?
I'm sorry.
Tell me. I'll help you.
I...
I was an idiot.
What do you mean?
What do you mean you were an idiot?
That's why I got beaten up.
Who...
Who beat you up?
