- In 1, 2. Action. - Cue.
For Kyung Su,
I'm ready to give up my life.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll protect Jin.
Thank you. Thank you.
- Cut. Okay, that was good. - Okay.
You were exceptional today.
I got all choked up.
Thank you.
No problem.
Great job.
That was good, right?
Do Hyun must be seriously interested in Do Na.
He's trying to impress you.
He's trying to impress me?
Wasn't I exceptionally good today?
No, you were good,
but Do Hyun pointed it out to you.
He wants you to put in a good word for him.
She had a miscarriage, so I'm very much worried.
Chairman Jung,
what do you mean?
I'm talking about her.
She didn't have a miscarriage.
You're wrong. I recently had a miscarriage.
There must be a misunderstanding.
I guess you didn't know.
She has a congenital uterine anomaly,
so she's permanently infertile.
I'm sorry.
Chairman Jung.
How dare you...
deceive me?
Please help me, Chairman Jung.
I really loved you,
so I wanted to stay with you.
Chairman Jung!
Oh, dear. It's right.
Yes. There won't be a wedding. They'll just live together.
She doesn't need a wedding. She's going into a rich family.
Lara is probably boiling in anger.
She probably isn't in the best mood.
That's an understatement.
She had a great dating history with Chairman Jung.
He said he'd commit suicide, so she was forced to marry him.
But that ex-husband...
is marrying Ha Young who is so much younger than her.
She probably collapsed already.
(Ha Young)
I told you to come here. Why are you calling?
Ha Young. Ha Young?
Why are you crying? What's wrong?
The hospital?
Ha Young. Ha Young.
What's wrong? Is she in the hospital?
She's supposed to be filming. What is she doing there?
I don't know.
I have to go. I'll see you on set.
What's going on?
Permanently infertile?
What do I do, Ha Kyung?
What do I do now?
- We have to shoot all these today. - Right.
Excuse me.
Ha Young fainted, so she can't film today.
What?
If we don't film today, our schedule doesn't work out.
We had to delay the schedule because she couldn't act.
Why did she faint?
Her manager didn't tell us the details.
She said Ha Young is too sick to film.
Director Shin discussed with the scriptwriter,
and we wrote a new script with Su Jeong's disappearance.
Please memorize these.
Goodness, she's such a nuisance.
Sir, it's time to wake up.
Chairman Jung.
Sir.
Chairman Jung. Chairman Jung!
Sir.
Are you all right?
What am I doing here?
You couldn't wake up, so I took you to the hospital.
I wanted to sleep well,
so I took three pills.
But you took too many at once,
so you couldn't wake up.
You're getting gastric irrigation and a tranquilizer.
You didn't tell anybody, right?
No. I didn't even tell Hye Mi.
All right.
Good job.
Chairman Jung,
Dr. Yoon said...
your health is not very good.
I want to get some rest,
so you can go now.
Yes, sir.
What place are you in?
I'm in 13th.
- Is that good? - It aired yesterday,
and I'm going up the ranks already. It's good.
That's great.
I hope my viewer ratings go up and your song becomes popular.
Mom, I'm going to see Mr. Yoo.
- See you later. - See you.
Okay.
Yes, Dong Woo.
She's calming down.
She'll be able to shoot tonight.
Yes. Don't worry.
How can I shoot in this situation?
Do you want your career to be over?
They told me I'll never have a child.
Think about the rest later.
They'll send you the new script, so let's practice.
- I feel like I'm going to die. - Even if you die,
this is something you have to do.
I heard you didn't come this morning,
so I was worried.
I came out late since I was tired.
Have you checked on Ha Young?
It wasn't a miscarriage.
Then Sung Ah was right?
If Sung Ah didn't tell me,
I would have been made a fool.
How can Ha Young do that?
Starting today, do not use Ha Young's commercial.
I won't.
Are you all right?
I worked like nothing happened even after divorcing your mom.
Something like this...
can't shake me.
Why is this place always so full?
That's how it is for our restaurant.
It's thanks to word of mouth.
- There's an opening. Go inside. - Okay. Let's go.
Take care. Bye.
Welcome.
You have to wait for a table.
- Hello. - Gosh.
You're the man from "Acanthus".
I work with Director Ha. I'm Kim Bum Woo.
Is that so? What brings you here?
I have something to say to you.
Come inside.
Ma'am.
I came to see you because I like Director Ha.
My Do Na?
I'll be honest with you.
I'm an orphan without parents or siblings.
I don't have a university degree either.
However, I'm confident...
that I can like Director Ha more than anyone.
Well...
Thank you for your honesty.
But this is how I feel.
Do Na grew up very lonely.
So I want her...
to be married into a happy family.
I'm sure you would.
I know that I'm not good enough either.
However, she thinks very highly of what you say.
So I thought it would be my duty to visit and introduce myself.
Grandma.
Bum Woo.
What are you doing here?
I'm happy that I got to visit and introduce myself.
I'll come back again soon.
All right.
(Stutterer)
I paid a visit to your grandmother and introduced myself.
I'm getting a step closer today.
What's wrong with him? Gosh.
What?
She says I have it wrong,
but in my opinion, she likes Bum Woo more than Do Hyun.
Is that true?
She turned Bum Woo into an actor.
She says that's why she's attached to him,
but I doubt what she says is true.
She doesn't know how she feels and keeps denying...
No.
He's good-looking and polite,
but I don't like the fact that he's an orphan.
I know.
Do Na grew up like an orphan too.
If they end up together,
she would be too lonely.
I agree. For Do Na,
you must vouch for Do Hyun until the end.
Okay.
I told you. That witch...
was trying to fool Dad. She planned it all along.
How is your father doing? He must be shocked.
He didn't show it.
He must have been comforted...
by Ha Young's baby when he felt betrayed by me.
He must be upset.
Are you worried about him right now?
He deserved it.
If anything, he's the one that betrayed you.
You only looked at Dad after marriage,
but he went out to see so many women.
It's over anyway, so stop.
Hye Mi, are you okay?
- Why wouldn't I be? - I know things are tough.
My father-in-law is on my side, so it's not so bad.
So you're admitting it's been tough.
It's because of your mother-in-law, right?
It's not because of Joon Ho, is it?
No, of course not.
Hello.
Who are you to visit my grandma?
Why did you go there and make things complicated?
Because she's an important person to you.
Why would you visit someone important to me?
I told her that I like you.
Why is everyone acting as they please?
I haven't done anything,
but everyone is getting my grandma involved.
Do you hate me that much?
Yes.
I hate you. I do.
Do you mean that?
Yes. I mean it.
I understand.
I'll try to get over my feelings.
I won't bother you again,
so don't worry.
If I'm not harsh on him,
he will never get himself sorted out.
Can I get a bowl?
Are you closed?
We have a shoot here in the morning.
Then you can give me a bowl before then.
You should sit down.
Why did you come all the way here?
I haven't been able to eat.
Why aren't you eating properly?
I saw you acting.
You're a lot better than before.
It's cold.
Director Shin, you're here early.
I came here to eat.
Thanks for the meal. I'll go now.
He's my ex-husband.
I see.
I heard he's getting married to Ha Young.
I guess that didn't work out that well.
Oh, I see.
- But why did he come? - He came here to eat.
I see.
I want to follow you to Paris on your business trip.
You need to work.
I can take a few days off.
Is that necessary? It's like you're trying to keep your eyes on me.
Why would you think that way?
You could think of it as a late honeymoon.
If you keep doing this, it's going to suffocate me.
Is it that suffocating to go on a business trip with me?
For me, it is.
You're really weird, Joon Ho.
Shouldn't you be happy that I'm willing...
to take a few days off for you?
I'm going there for work. That means you'll only get in my way.
If you really insist on going,
you should ask my mom for permission.
Mother, may I take a few days off so that...
I can follow Joon Ho to Paris?
My gosh, I'm sorry.
You need to attend a lot of important social events with me.
You still have a lot of people to meet.
And you shouldn't follow your husband on business trips.
He won't be able to work.
My friend's family member died, so I need to go to a funeral.
Must you go today?
What can I do? My friend's family member passed away.
You can go tomorrow.
I need to stay with him throughout the whole funeral.
I'm leaving.
I have something to say.
You can leave.
Yes, sir.
What more...
do you need to say?
I really love you.
Isn't it a good thing for you...
that I'm not able to have kids?
If I have kids,
they could fight over your inheritance with your daughters.
But that won't be a problem since I'm not able to have kids.
Do you know why...
I'm not doing anything to you even when you lied to me?
That's because you're not even worth that much.
But I used to be yours.
No.
You were never mine.
You were just a one-night fling.
I'm not the kind of woman who sleeps around.
I loved you from the moment I met you.
Come inside.
Chairman Jung.
- Chairman Jung. - Take her out.
- You need to leave. - Chairman Jung, please.
Let's go.
Chairman Jung, I really love you.
Chairman Jung.
- I sincerely love you. - Please go out.
Please know that my feelings are sincere.
Chairman Jung, I love you!
(Emergency Medical Center)
He just got a few stitches.
He fell from a tow truck, but he didn't get seriously injured.
Thank goodness.
He just got sedated, and he's sleeping right now.
Okay.
I'm so relieved that he didn't get seriously injured.
Me too.
He was trying to save me.
- Cut. - Cut.
You're so annoying. I can't act with you.
I'm already angry as it is.
Su Jeong, why are you crying?
You need to get ready for your next scene.
You can't keep wasting our time like this.
Please stop crying.
I think I'm going to faint.
You need to get through this.
No one's going to want to cast you if you cause trouble here.
Are you okay?
Yes.
It hurts, doesn't it?
Yes.
Why do you keep getting injured?
I don't know.
I was unconscious.
So I couldn't have held your hand, right?
I have a habit of holding onto pillows when I sleep.
I'm going to start showing my feelings for you again.
I thought I already made myself clear.
I feel like I'm going to regret it if I give up right now.
I heard you didn't get seriously injured.
We should be thankful.
- What about your shoot? - I took an hour break.
Why do you get hurt every time we shoot an action scene?
You're causing everyone inconvenience.
I'm sorry.
Director Ha, let's go.
- Mr. Kim can stay here. - What?
- I need to pick up Hwa Im. - What?
Director Shin said he'd take care of today's shooting...
and told me to stay here.
But why? He doesn't even seem that hurt anyway.
Chi Bok.
- What did they talk about? - With me?
I was sleeping.
No, I'm talking about Director Ha and Bum Woo.
Well, I was sleeping.
I'm pretty sure it was nothing.
Should I stay and listen to their conversation?
Do Hyun, don't make him do that.
It's just not cool.
Why don't I get injured?
Your IV's done. I'll ask the doctor to remove it.
There's still some left.
None of this is free, so I should take every last drop.
You're going to live a nice, frugal life.
This is nice.
What's so nice about having stitches on your forehead?
I like getting scolded by you.
You should see a psychiatrist.
I never thought this way before.
But after I met you, it feels like the skies are helping me.
I didn't get seriously injured,
and you're going to stay with me all night.
I'm going to sleep. Rest up.
I'm not sleepy.
I'm really sleepy.
You should sleep then.
(Episode 24)
Director Shin.
Are you better now?
I can get back right away.
Since when was she here?
She must be tired.
Goodness.
Director Shin.
I put you here to look after him. Why are you sleeping, you punk?
- I just fell asleep. - She's right.
She looked after me all night.
He was being such a crybaby, so he kept me busy.
But I was in pain.
Hold on.
Is there something going on between you two?
- No way. - Yes, sir.
Since when?
Since she practiced with me.
It happened without my knowing.
- Do Hyun likes Do Na too. - Yes.
We're in an open competition.
Gosh, you are cool about it.
What?
I'm not taking sides.
Director Ha's grandma is on Do Hyun's side.
Can you be on my side?
I hate interfering with other people's dating lives.
In any case, I'll watch you.
- You can go. - Thank you.
Thanks.
Did he tell you something unnecessary?
No.
He just said you, he, and Do Hyun are in a love triangle.
Isn't it a fact?
My gosh.
Director Shin, this is a fact.
I don't like anybody, but those two are crazy over me.
Stop showing off.
I'm leaving.
It's the truth.
Take care.
What?
So the wedding is off?
It turned out that way.
Ha Young is still troubled,
so please take good care of her on set.
Of course, I will.
What went wrong?
It's between them. I won't know.
Hey.
Is it because he can't get over Lara?
That's possible.
Lara is going to be happy.
My goodness.
Have some snacks.
It's from JU Group for advertising their products.
Please have some snacks.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
That was kind of you. I didn't expect it from you.
Actually,
I was instructed by the headquarters.
- The headquarters? - Father.
He must have been paid.
What? This is from Father?
Don't get ahead of yourself. He's pitying me.
He won't forgive me easily.
That's true. He's hard to please.
Thank you for the coffee and snacks.
Excuse me.
Can we talk?
Let's forget about the time we slapped each other.
Why are you mentioning it?
You're my mom's daughter. I think I went overboard.
- I don't consider her my mom. - Even so.
I am sorry about what happened.
Me too.
I'm sorry.
All right.
It's a one-sided love.
I didn't think you'd bring underwear to iron.
I'm supposed to be scared of her, so I thought I should do it.
That's so meticulous of you.
You're growing day by day.
If you keep complimenting me like that,
my head might explode from thinking too much.
- I'm only telling you this. - Sure.
You will...
grow on me.
The more I see you, the more attracted I'll get?
Yes.
Let's go.
- You're done. - Okay.
- Hey, Lara. - Yes.
Dong Woo is...
taking care of you because you're my friend.
Don't burden him.
She never burdened him for anything.
It's a burden when an extra keeps on taking the director's time.
Director Shin asked for her, so she went to speak to him,
- but she never... - Hey.
Your youngest daughter always talks back to adults.
She was raised in a rich family, so she has no manners.
- I really don't like her. - Me too.
- So much. - Me too.
- I'm so mad. - Me too.
Thank you.
Are you Lara by any chance?
- My gosh. - Hello.
I was your fan for a long time.
I love watching "Acanthus".
I think your acting has reached its peak.
We'll cheer you on.
- You can do it. - You can do it.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You're so pretty.
- Oh, dear. - I love you, Lara.
Thank you.
Are fans starting to recognize you now, Lara?
Yes, I think so.
You must have been a horrible actress in the past.
They think your acting is at its peak now.
I was horrible in the past.
You're confessing.
By the way,
why did Father fall in love with you?
Is it because of your looks?
I shot a film in his hotel,
and I kept on making mistakes.
He was looking at me...
and walked up in front of me.
He yelled, "Is that the best you can act?"
I was embarrassed of myself,
and this strange man told me off,
so I yelled back at him.
I said, "Why do you care?"
Do you know what he said after?
What did he say?
"My hotel is in this film, you woman."
"You're embarrassing me."
That suits his personality.
So I went to him and asked how I should act.
Then he started teaching me.
What? He doesn't know anything about acting.
He did theater in college.
I did as he told me, and he said,
"Let's eat." That's what he said.
He fell for me.
It sounds like you fell for him first.
I was so happy back then.
Do you miss it?
No.
I need to forget about it.
How can I not miss it?
It was the happiest time of my life.
I'll tell you later.
I'm so worried that you'll get hurt.
Lara, you have to hold back your feelings.
Jung Young Woong.
You must be really bored.
I'm sorry, boss.
That's the thing with life.
My heart...
doesn't seem to be mine.
- Cut. Okay. - Cut, okay.
Both of your emotions were good.
Right? Min Hyeok is such a big man.
He knows Jin likes Su Jeong,
but he doesn't abandon him.
- Yes, I guess so. - Director Ha.
Can we spend some time together to go deeper into...
Min Hyeok's character?
I'm a bit tired.
Great job today.
That little...
Did you see that?
He just showed off, didn't he?
All he said was, "Great job today."
You're paranoid.
Let's go.
I have to eat something.
- You need to hold back. - Right, pizza.
- I had some pizza. - Hey.
- There it is. - You can't.
I had some sirloin too, right?
Sirloin steak.
Do Hyun, no. You have to control yourself.
I can't control myself.
Hey, Man Soo. You bought some beer before, right?
- Right, beer. Where is it? - Hey.
You have to shoot a scene with your top off tomorrow.
You have a problem with binge eating when you get angry.
What's my schedule tomorrow?
December 3, Sunday. You have one schedule.
8:00am, Do Hyun, Acanthus shooting.
See? I told you.
Man Soo.
- Back to their places. - Okay.
Okay, then.
Have some salad that I bought.
We can eat as much as you want after Acanthus ends.
I can't.
I don't have a chance against Bum Woo if my body isn't as nice.
I'll go work out.
Work out, yes. Let's work out.
Hello.
Good job. How could an actor eat carbohydrates at night?
I was too hungry.
I was going to finish this and run back to the residence.
- Hello. - Oh, hello.
You must live in a residence.
Yes. I'm all done. You can enjoy.
Sure.
Thank you.
Excuse me, we'll take two bowls of noodles,
a serving of fries, and soondae. Please give us a lot of liver.
Okay.
Why aren't you saying anything to me?
Like what?
I'm about to eat in the middle of the night.
Why aren't you saying anything to me?
You told Bum Woo off for eating some noodles.
You won't stop even if I tried.
Because you're showing him interest,
he feels the right to visit your grandmother.
It's because I let my guard down.
What did you do?
When he got hurt from falling off of the car,
I found myself unconsciously holding his hand while I slept.
You're finally telling me the truth.
Young Hee.
What?
Can I take some time to consider Bum Woo as well?
What's with you?
How can you put him and Do Hyun on the same line?
And your grandma doesn't want anyone who has no family.
That's not Bum Woo's fault.
Are you taking his side?
If I avoid him because of that, it makes me too calculative.
All human beings are made to be calculative.
You have to get a hold of yourself.
Thank you.
- Enjoy. - Sure.
Let's eat before we continue.
Hwa Im.
- Hey, Dong Woo. - Why are you sleeping here?
I must've been tired after the shooting.
I fell asleep on the massage chair.
You should go in and sleep.
- Dong Woo. - Yes?
We need to talk.
I have to leave soon.
It'll only take a second. I'll be quick.
- Okay. - You know,
my checkup results are out.
I have high blood sugar, and my eyes are really bad.
I'm in the beginning stage of a cataract.
You should rest once this drama is over.
I'll get my rest. That's not it.
Before I get any worse,
I hope you and Ha Kyung can at least get engaged.
You'll never get to see that.
- What if I pleaded you? - No.
I'd rather live alone. I can't marry Ha Kyung.
I'm going upstairs.
What if I die?
Goodness.
Please give me a chance.
I don't have the time to joke around with you.
I'm giving you a strong impression.
We meet every day. You don't need to do that.
I'm giving you an impression as Kim Bum Woo now,
but we'll meet later as Jin.
You really have many ways to hit on women.
What? What do you want?
You're pretty.
That's way too cheesy. What are you trying to pull?
When I first met you,
I thought you were very pretty.
When I first met you, I was worried what I was going to do with you.
And I'm sure of this.
- What? - I'm sure you never cried...
in front of anyone else but me.
You're not the type who would cry in front of people.
Keep putting on that one-man show.
This isn't where your shooting will be held.
What are you doing?
Do Hyun.
I want to get a hold of your heart,
but I have no idea what I have to do.
Please calm down and...
Why are you embarrassing a man like this?
Why do you make me into someone who begs a woman for her heart?
Okay, I know.
What on earth do you know?
Okay, I know.
Do Hyun,
I know how you feel.
I can feel...
how much you like me.
Really?
But why do you and Bum Woo seem closer than you and me?
It's making me feel really frustrated.
Since the two of you are causing...
an inconvenience to the shoot because of me,
let me set things straight.
First,
I'm thankful that you like me.
I mean this.
That's why I must say this.
If you call me a player because of this, I can't help it.
I don't like either of you more than the other.
That's why from now on,
I will watch...
both of you with interest.
If I lean toward one person,
then I'll tell you right away.
That is all.
So please! Please...
Please stop thinking about me,
and focus...
on the shoot alone.
That's it.
Do you know how embarrassing it is for me to compete with you?
I'm not that excited about having to compete publicly...
because I failed to win the heart of the woman I like.
You said you were honored to be in the same agency as me.
It's an honor to be competing against you,
but it's still embarrassing that I failed to win her over.
- So what? - Isn't it so childish?
If I was in that position,
I'd tell her I don't like her either.
- Sit down. - Hey.
- You should be saving money. - You have no idea what love is.
This isn't necessarily about marriage.
Hey.
How did you get here before me?
Because I used public transit.
That's cheating.
You can't make a move on me when Do Hyun isn't here.
Must we always approach you as a group?
Also, I'm not here to make a move on you.
I came to see the picture.
What are you doing here?
I just... Well...
Hey, what about you? Don't you have a shoot?
That's right, you should be shooting with Director Shin.
Chairman Jin is stuck in traffic on his way to the city.
Since he'll be late, we'll go on standby in two hours.
Okay, then. Let's go in and look at the clips.
No!
It's not that.
Okay, then. Enjoy watching the footages.
I better go.
Wait... Take care.
Look at her. Hey.
Hey.
Yes?
What is this?
I can guess whose it is.
Gosh. My goodness.
- You're harsher than me. - Why?
At least I'm trying to understand their feelings.
But you're comparing us.
You're asking for it.
Why can't I wake up?
I'll go buy some coffee.
You don't want to hit Do Hyun when you see him, right?
I announced today that I'll watch them in fairness.
What I'm worried about...
is that you look too comfortable when you're with Bum Woo.
That's because we have history.
If you want to be fair, you have to treat Do Hyun the same.
You should be in your character. Beat him, and headlock him.
He'll think I'm crazy.
If you act that way, Do Hyun will be happy.
It's not something you can do by putting your mind to it.
- I'm tired. We stayed up all night. - The sun is rising.
I prepared breakfast. You should eat before you go.
We have to head to another shoot.
- A moment. - What?
Bye.
Let's go.
Let me give you a warning.
Don't say anything useless to Director Ha.
I only said what I should say.
You're becoming a hindrance.
I want to win...
Director Ha's heart no matter what.
But your involvement has me irritated.
Seol Do Hyun.
I didn't take you that way, but you must be innocent.
That's my only charm that Director Ha noticed.
She's a director who has yet to debut.
How can she help you?
- Compared to her, I... - Will you be my sponsor?
I can do more than that.
I'll decline whether it be more or less.
I don't even want to glance at the person I'm not interested in.
He's provoking me.
Are you interested in that young man too?
I don't have feelings for anyone yet.
I thought about it,
and I'm leaning toward Do Hyun.
If I must choose whom I'm leaning toward more...
even if it's a very small difference,
I feel compassionate about Bum Woo.
I can see where you're coming from.
However, that's because you grew up lonely.
You're sympathizing with him.
I must find out...
why I feel this way.
I won't...
be so cold-hearted and oppose him because he's an orphan.
However,
I just want you...
to be with someone warmer.
For some reason, Bum Woo...
looks a little gloomy.
Even that.
That's one of the reasons why I feel this way about him.
(Hyunpoong Chicken Kalguksu)
Grandma,
he has something that keeps on holding me back.
We're closed.
I didn't come to eat today.
Then what is it?
Sit down.
I'm sorry.
You even...
went on your knees to apologize to me.
But I didn't do that.
It's late, but I'm sorry...
for dating Ha Young...
behind your back.
What's the point of saying that now?
We're strangers now.
Yes.
We are.
That's why we can start over again.
What are you trying to say?
I can't ask you to come back either.
At least, not yet.
A part of my heart...
is still hurting from the feeling of being betrayed.
Then how can we start over?
We should...
start dating again, Lara.
(Bravo My Life)
Let's start over from the beginning.
For today, it's enough for me to just tell you how I feel.
I heard you got a threatening mail.
Don't overeact. I can take care of myself.
It wasn't you, was it?
There's already a lot of talk about you. If you did that...
It wasn't me.
I dated Ha Young before.
Thank you for being honest with me.
I think it's very manly of you to do this.
Do Hyun is the problem.
But I think he really likes your big sister.
