We should...
start dating again, Lara.
Let's start over from the beginning.
Why should I do that?
We broke up not because we didn't love each other.
I don't love you anymore.
It's okay. We can start all over again.
I don't want to start anything with you.
You were the same in the past.
You didn't like the son of a conglomerate family like me.
But in the end,
we got married.
- I like to live the way it is now. - Go ahead.
But...
I'd like to step into your life.
Please go now. I need to close the store.
I'll wait. Close the store.
I'll give you a ride to your house.
- No, I won't ride your car. - Is that right?
We'll...
see each other again.
Why would he make things so complicated?
I'm here. Good morning.
You worked until dawn and came right here?
I stopped by my house to get changed.
(Ha Do Na)
What's this?
What's that?
(Don't flirt with Seol Do Hyun.)
(I'll kill you.)
It must be from Do Hyun's fan.
This is annoying.
Wait a second.
This didn't come by mail. It was placed on her desk.
It means this person has access to the broadcasting station.
Right?
Our office is a blind spot of security cameras.
So we can't check who came in our office.
I can simply ignore it.
No, this should be taken seriously.
It could be someone around us.
Let the people know, and report this to the police.
- Okay. - This shouldn't be a big deal.
It could be.
Gosh, what's happening?
Are you okay?
- What do you mean? - You were blackmailed.
I won't get scared by such a thing.
Still. I better commute to work with you from now on.
- You think it's a chance? - It's not that.
Don't make a fuss. I can protect myself.
Still, be careful.
It's not your doing, is it?
Ha Kyung.
You did something similar to a new actress...
who tried to get close with Do Hyun before.
I was young then. It's not me. I mean it.
I'm glad it's not you.
I won't let this slide if you're lying to me by any chance.
I said it's not me.
I'm sorry.
I have too many obsessive fans.
Are you apologizing or bragging?
I'm not bragging. I'm really worried about you.
I don't mind, so get ready for the shoot.
I'd like to get you a bodyguard to protect you.
I don't need any protection.
Director Ha, they have a problem at the shooting site.
What problem?
It seems to be one of the interior props.
My popularity is just killing me.
Ma'am.
We finished our lunch hour, so you should get some rest.
I found this on the yard.
(Ha Do Na)
It must be for Do Na.
(Don't flirt with Seol Do Hyun. I'll kill you.)
Goodness gracious. How terrible.
Hey, why didn't you answer your phone?
I was in the shooting.
I think it's serious.
That letter got sent to your house too.
Your grandma called several times to check if you're okay.
- To my house? - Yes.
She must've been startled. Her voice was shaking.
Who on earth is it?
How could they threaten my grandma too?
- Everything will be fine, right? - It's nothing serious.
Even if it's serious, I won't let them get me.
Right, I know you won't.
Goodness. Who is it?
Let me drive you.
Please stop. I told Man Soo that it's making me uncomfortable.
Even without the incident, I wanted to drive you home anyway.
I was too busy to do so until now.
We have to be on standby at dawn today, so I'll take you home.
It's uncomfortable.
Please don't ignore my sincerity, and get in.
This is unfair.
What?
You're trying to do something Bum Woo can't do.
You shouldn't compare this like that.
Because Bum Woo doesn't have a car...
Are you telling me to commute by foot?
I'm saying it's unfair to let you drive me home.
Make it a fair play.
Gosh, she's so complicated.
This is driving me crazy.
The road is a bit dark from here.
I was fine walking alone until now.
Things are different now.
- You got hit a lot by me, right? - Yes.
I have such a heavy punch, so it won't be easy to attack me.
What if they attack you with a knife?
I practiced taekwondo in high school too.
But I'm worried.
I'm worried about you more.
What about me?
I'm worried your trauma might worsen again.
Do you have any idea how anxious I am whenever we film action scenes?
I overcame it.
We'll see.
Go get some rest. We have to shoot early tomorrow.
I came all the way here, so I'll walk you home.
(Chicken Kalguksu)
- Do Na. - Grandma.
Why are you out in the cold?
- How are you? - I'm not all right.
I came out to see you.
Bum Woo was worried and walked me home anyway.
Is that right? Thank you for your concern.
It's my pleasure. Please talk casually to me.
I'm shy, so I can't talk casually to people easily.
Go now.
- Let's go, Grandma. - All right.
You're not shy at all.
You talk so casually to Do Hyun.
It's hard for me to do that to him.
Are you discriminating him because he's an orphan by any chance?
That's not it.
What should we do by the way?
This horrible letter was delivered to you.
It happens quite often.
It happens often?
It's a prank pulled by groupies.
You don't need to worry about it.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Besides, the police said this isn't even real blood.
Is that so?
- Hi. - You're Ms. Ha Do Na, right?
- Yes. - We couldn't find any fingerprints,
but the blood type is AB.
My blood type is AB too.
I can't believe someone with AB-type blood would do such a crazy thing.
I took two steps today.
I'm the one who is treating them differently.
Why is it okay for Bum Woo to do this, but not for Do Hyun?
All right. Bye.
I think you're right.
Bum Woo didn't go home straight.
He asked the driver to drop him off in Yeonhee-dong.
See? He's cheating.
He just waited for her in front of her house.
If he does something I can't do, it's cheating.
You should wait for her in front of her house too.
I should've taken the subway with her like before.
Darn it.
I cannot believe I let him...
turn the game around.
People might think this is an incredible competition.
Gosh.
Should I take poison or something?
Hey, Ha Kyung.
If that could make Dong Woo like me,
isn't it worth trying?
Don't even talk about that. It's scary.
I thought you were going out at dawn.
There are things I need to prepare.
Ha Kyung is worried I might feel lonely. She's sleeping over tonight.
You should at least say hello to her.
My goodness.
Maybe I should really try taking poison.
Lara, you're pretty good!
Why are you here again?
I told you you'd see me often.
I don't want to see you often.
Just let me live my life without any worries.
Just leave.
Why? It looks like you're cooking some stew.
I didn't make it for you.
Do you get customers at this late hour?
Who is this?
Hi. I'm Shin Dong Woo, the director of "Acanthus".
I see.
I'm Jung Young Woong.
- It's a pleasure. - Please take good care of my Lara.
Leave now. He needs to eat and go to work soon.
So the person you were waiting for was...
I asked her to do it.
I see.
I told you to leave. Now.
Okay, I will.
See you again then.
Why does he keep coming to see you?
Well... He wants to get back together with me.
Are you going to get back together with him?
No, it's something only he wants.
- I'm glad to hear that. - What?
I'm glad to hear that you're not back together with him.
If you had been,
I wouldn't be able to do anything but just watch you.
Director Shin.
I must've surprised you today, so I'll be going now.
Thank you so much for the food.
Mom, are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine.
Why should an actress even cook for the director?
What are you doing all of a sudden?
I've become much more mature now.
I'm not going to make the same mistake I made before.
Can't we get back together?
My gosh.
Hey. Are you not interested in what's going on in the world?
The whole world knows that I like Director Ha.
You said you liked me because I'm like an innocent child.
Director Ha isn't right for you.
She's too full of herself.
Even if you start dating, she wouldn't listen to you, honey.
Why are you calling me "honey"?
Fine. I was immature back then.
I used to like naive girls.
But now that I've grown out of it, I hate girls like you.
I'm going to tell Director Ha...
how serious our relationship was.
If I do, she wouldn't even look at you.
You're such a nasty girl.
Fine. Go ahead.
Tell her everything you want.
I'll explain it to her that...
I once dated a lousy girl,
and it's the one thing that I regret in my life.
What did you say to Do Hyun?
That I want to start seeing him again.
What's the matter with you?
Do Hyun isn't insane. He wouldn't date you again.
Please work out a plan.
The only one I have now is Do Hyun.
If you do this,
people will think you sent the letter to Director Ha.
Get a hold of yourself, please.
- It's the next scene. - Yes.
Director Ha.
Yes?
I thought it'd be better to hear this from me instead of Ha Young.
I don't know if you've heard about this,
but I once dated Ha Young for a while.
It was an ordinary relationship a man and a woman could have.
I see.
You must be disappointed in me.
No.
Thank you for being honest with me.
This actually makes you look manly.
It's a new director, but you'll see if you read the script.
It's a great scenario with an amazing cast.
The director liked your acting on "Acanthus"...
and contacted us. You have to do it, okay?
It's not a major role, but it's a powerful character.
It's the best for your screen debut.
- I'll read it. - Okay.
Goodness, Ha Young is killing me.
How could all of her scenes look this bad?
We barely managed to get this footage. Try putting it together.
How is she going to continue her career as an actress?
That's her problem to worry about.
We just need to focus on saving our drama.
Just hang in there.
Are you here to see the footage again?
No, I came to talk to Director Ha.
Oh, I see. What is it? You can tell me here.
The underlined parts are my dialogues. Can you go over them?
- Did you get cast for a movie? - Yes.
- Is it urgent? - Yes, I need to get back to them.
Have a read, and tell me what you think.
Okay. You can go now.
Bye.
He should just appear in the movie if he got an offer.
Why would he need your opinion?
He's just doing this to get another glimpse of you.
Did you read the script?
Yes, I did. I liked it.
- Right? - The casting's impressive.
And your role is pretty charming.
But something bothers you, doesn't it?
What? You're not going to do it? Why?
It's such a similar character to Jin.
Hey, you're a rookie actor.
It's natural for you to get similar roles.
That's exactly why they want to cast you in the first place.
I want to act for a long time.
This may sound arrogant,
but I don't want to limit my acting to a certain type of character.
It's too early for you to worry about that kind of thing.
This is a really nice opportunity. Just do it.
I'm sorry. I'll be off now.
What's with him?
He's not desperate enough.
By the way, didn't anyone send any movie scripts for me?
You get a lot of scripts,
but I'm picking them out really carefully.
Let me decide. Give me all the scripts you got.
I need to go meet Hwa Im.
Wait for me.
I turned down the movie role.
The character was too similar to Jin.
This was what bothered you, wasn't it?
I don't know if I should call him reckless or bold.
Anyway, it's nice to know that we connect.
What am I talking about? We do not connect.
Who do you think keeps sending this?
Why? What's wrong?
(If you keep doing this, you're going to die!)
- Where did you find this? - In front of our office.
That means someone left it there knowing that I'm in here.
I guess so.
This person must know us very well.
Then there's no need to worry.
If this person left this outside knowing that I'm in here,
that means he or she is a coward.
A coward who keeps sending me these letters...
when he or she doesn't even have the courage to actually confront me.
Anyway, keep an eye out for anyone who seems suspicious around us.
- Okay. - Okay.
Why are you here again?
I waited for over an hour.
Why did you wait?
Did you cook for the director today as well?
I don't cook for him every day.
I don't want to ride your car.
I've been waiting out here. Just get in for my sake.
Come on.
You knew where I live?
I at least had to know where Sung Ah was staying.
I'm still her father.
You should move.
I never liked Sung Ah living here even if it was by herself.
But you're living with her, so you guys should move.
No, we like living here.
- Lara. - What?
Do you hate me that much?
Fine.
It's natural for you to hate me.
But don't you think that's actually because you still like me?
If you didn't have feelings for me, you wouldn't even hate me.
I see hope in the fact that...
you hate me.
Why are you doing this?
You were so coldhearted when I begged on my knees.
I'm now willing to focus on work and live on my own.
But why do you keep showing up?
I'm sorry, but I didn't have a choice back then.
I couldn't get over the fact that...
the woman I loved and trusted had betrayed me.
Just...
keep thinking about me that way.
I get it now.
You never betrayed me...
while you were with me.
I'm a fool, aren't I?
(Episode 26)
Don't you like Mr. Min too?
He seems to like you.
Don't you think so?
Yes, he seems to like her very much.
I don't know what I should do.
Please hold. Cut.
Don't just cry.
I want you to say the lines calmly with tears in your eyes.
Right, that was too much.
Lara, you too. You have to cut into the conversation more clearly.
I told you. Just act like an immature, middle-aged lady.
Note on that, Lara.
- Okay. - Let's take 10.
We'll take a short break.
We'll take a 10-minute break.
- Lara. - Yes?
I'll stop by at night.
No, I'll look for another part-time job.
Mother.
I went shopping and came here to go home with you.
Well...
- I have an appointment for dinner. - Really?
I wanted to have dinner with you alone.
I came here on purpose.
Father.
Goodness, hello.
Yes, Mr. Jung. I hope you're well.
Of course, I'm well.
I wonder if she's doing all right.
She's doing very well except that she's too busy.
I stopped by thinking we could grab dinner together before going home,
but she says she has a prior engagement.
Oh, is that so? What's the occasion?
- It's with Mr. Noda from Japan. - Oh, is that so?
Then I'll go to the meeting. You can go home with your mother.
Oh, is that all right?
Of course.
He'll like it better if I showed up.
Father, what brings you here?
Oh, I'll tell you about it later.
Then you two can talk.
You can't visit me suddenly on my day off like this.
I brought you some water because you said you only drink this brand.
And fruits will help relieve your fatigue.
I can take care of those stuff.
Are you going to make a guest stand around in your house?
I don't know how to make tea.
This is enough.
Please have that, and leave as soon as possible.
I'm a bit tired.
You don't have anything tomorrow morning.
Don't you want to come play golf with my dad?
And my wanting to introduce you to my dad...
would prove that I'm sincere.
You're very persistent.
I already told you. I like someone else.
And I'm expressing my feelings to someone I like.
Oh, expressing yourself, right.
But your expression is very irritating.
This type of one-way dash is extremely annoying.
Wait, does Ms. Ha like you as well?
As a woman, I have a feeling she doesn't.
That's why I'm trying hard. That's why...
it's a burden for me to see you run to me like this.
Then why don't we try...
facing each other's backs?
I have a feeling that you'll turn around to me very soon.
Have a good rest, then.
What? Is she on "Fast and Furious"?
Wait, maybe she sent that blackmail letter.
- Mom. - Yes?
My teacher said I haven't got the talent.
So are you going to stop?
I want to try as much as I can,
but if I don't have the talent, maybe I should stop.
There are many good singers out there.
I feel bad for insisting to continue singing...
when I don't have any talent.
I don't have any talent either.
But you were once a top actress.
Your looks is also a talent.
I had to always stay home after I got married.
I know.
Grandma wouldn't let you go outside.
My only enjoyment was watching dramas on TV.
Do you know what I thought when I saw those good actors?
"I'm glad I quit."
"I'm glad I got married without experiencing my downfall."
That's what I've been thinking.
"Let's not wander among the people who are talented."
But I came back.
I'm trying my best.
It would be a blessing to be talented.
But if you aren't, isn't it happier for you to do what you want?
Mom, I'm scared...
that I'll be that singer who sings songs...
that no one listens to.
What will I do with you?
I'm feeling down because my teacher said I'm not talented.
But why are you so down?
You didn't even go to work.
I'm feeling under the weather, that's all.
(Director Shin)
Did you quit working...
at the rice soup place to avoid me?
- Director Shin. - Yes.
I'm very thankful that you have feelings for me.
But I'm not in the position to return your feelings.
What's wrong with your position?
Do you know how old I am?
I do.
And I'm Hwa Im's friend.
You're only five years older than Do Na.
Is this only because of your age?
What's with you? Who am I for you to do this?
Why do you want to give your precious heart to someone like me?
My heart is...
already with you.
Director Shin.
Could you just think of me as you reconsider this?
Why are you here?
I was on my chauffeur shift, and my customer lived in this town.
What a great excuse.
You came out anyway.
I... I just... I thought you might be in trouble.
Then can I come visit you whenever I get in trouble?
Look at you.
I think I love you.
This is my first time,
so I'm not sure if this is love.
But I miss you every second, want to talk to you,
and be with you. If that's not love, what is it?
Do you...
Do you know why people say one's first love always fails?
Because first love is like a fantasy.
Because they tend to be broken very easily.
Have you dated a lot of men?
Of course, I'm old enough.
Then you must have had your first love.
Yes.
Then you probably don't have any fantasies about love.
What are you trying to say?
Then why are you so afraid?
You're afraid...
you'll really start to like me because I'm nothing.
Yes, I'm afraid.
I'm afraid because I don't know what this feeling is.
Are you afraid you might be pitying me?
Yes.
I'm afraid...
you and I both might be confused.
You're the only actor that I have brought up.
And...
I'm probably the first person to have reached out to you.
Director Ha, what you just said sounded like a love confession.
I have a feeling that you're saying you feel the same way as I do.
Well, it's because you wanted to hear it that way...
It feels like I took 10 steps toward you today.
Thank you for not slapping me.
You said you were getting medicine for your headache.
Oh, the pharmacy closed.
You said you were going to a convenience store.
What? Did I say I was going to a convenience store?
Did you see a ghost or something?
If you have a headache, take some rest first.
I'll go home first today.
- Okay. - See you later.
So this is how it feels.
Should I have slapped him or something?
Dad.
Your mom is still very stubborn.
I'm begging her to change her mind.
I'm telling you this to make you feel better.
Dad. You made the right decision.
I'm so glad.
What brings you here at this hour?
She called me to see if I was home. Come in.
Sit down.
- Mom. - Yes?
Dad told me.
He said he wants you to come back.
- What? Seriously? - I never said I would.
I have no intention of getting back together with your dad.
What's wrong with you?
If you do, you don't have to play minor roles...
or live in a place like this.
You'll be the wife of JU Group's chairman again.
I no longer want that position.
Mom, you're so cool.
What's wrong with you now? You should be convincing her.
I don't like that Dad does everything as he pleases.
Just stay quiet.
Mom.
Don't be stubborn. Just go back before Dad changes his mind.
Stop going through all this trouble.
I don't consider the life I have now troublesome.
Also, after what happened with Kang Ha Young,
I fell out of love with your dad.
I don't want to go back to him.
That's right. Remember that, and hang in there.
Dad should realize that there are things he can't do as he pleases.
You'll have comfortable latter years that way too.
What's wrong with you two?
Your dad and I have nothing to do with each other now.
Is she really our mom?
She has changed a lot.
I couldn't even slap you last night because I was too baffled.
Listen. If you do that ever again,
I'll kill you.
Please do. I'd like to do that again any time.
Hey. Do you realize it's sexual harassment?
Do you really think so?
I'll try not to do that while you consider it as sexual harassment.
Do Hyun.
What? Sexual harassment?
Director Ha definitely said so.
What did that jerk do to her?
Hey, calm down. I'm sure it's nothing serious.
If it was, Director Ha wouldn't have let it slide.
Hey.
Goodness.
What did you do to Director Ha?
Why does she think it's sexual harassment?
Is it your hobby to have someone eavesdrop?
She's under threat right now,
so I asked Man Soo to watch her. Don't try to blame me.
Tell me. What on earth did you do?
- I can't tell you. - You little...
Is this playing fair?
You're pulling dirty tricks behind my back.
I've never pulled dirty tricks on Director Ha.
Then why did she say it's sexual harassment then?
I'll be going now.
What on earth did Bum Woo do to you?
Why did you say it's sexual harassment?
Stop it already. It's like you're stalking me.
Why did you say...
Do I have to tell you every single thing that happened to me?
Am I obligated to do that?
I said it was sexual harassment,
but I exaggerated it a bit.
Bum Woo wouldn't do that.
See you later then.
My gosh, what should I do?
Mom, where have you been?
I just went out for some fresh air.
- Why? - We're in trouble.
Why? What is it?
We have to move. This house has been sold.
This may be a good thing for you.
You can just go back to Dad.
I'll try to find another place to live.
I told you I wasn't going back to your dad's house.
Why don't you believe what I tell you?
Do you really mean it?
You're not just holding out here?
You really don't want to get back together with Dad?
No, I don't.
- Really? - I said no.
How can you do that?
Dad is the person you love the most.
Not anymore.
You've changed too much that it's scary.
I can't believe that you think you can live without him.
Where should we move?
How was your business trip? Did it go well?
Yes.
Here. It's for you.
Thank you. It's pretty.
You don't seem so happy.
I felt bad that I couldn't take you with me,
so I went around all day to find a gift for you.
Did you really feel bad?
Of course.
Jung Hye Mi, you must be excited to enjoy what's actually my life.
Dong Woo.
I brought your underwear. I heard you can't go home tonight.
You never get tired, do you?
You know I'd even die for you. I shouldn't get tired so easily.
Stop it.
You've told me to stop hundreds of times.
You know how stubborn I am.
There is someone I like,
so please stop now.
Who is it?
He didn't tell you?
I asked him persistently, but he said it's not my business.
Gosh, he's lying then.
He's all about work. The only place he goes is the drama set.
It doesn't make sense that he's found someone he likes.
I think he's just saying that to make you give up.
You think so too, right?
Dong Woo is doing all sorts of things now.
I said it's sexual harassment, but I take it back.
But don't try to do that ever again.
I'm sorry if I got ahead of myself.
I'll ask you first next time.
He's getting cute with me.
What? Who is?
Are you talking about Bum Woo?
No, it's nothing.
- Hey, Do Na. - What?
Let's make this clear. Fine, I'll be neutral from now on.
So tell me how you feel exactly.
How do you feel about Bum Woo?
Tell me. How do you feel about him?
If you say you definitely like him, I'll support you.
What else can I do? I'm your friend.
If you want to bring trouble on yourself, I should cheer you on.
I'm confused about everything else,
but if I don't see Bum Woo first at the set,
I get worried.
Gosh.
You have no feelings for Do Hyun?
I'm not sure how I feel exactly, so I'm watching both of them for now.
What should you do?
It seems like your heart is leaning toward Bum Woo.
Mother, you're here.
Hello.
Goodness.
I understand that there isn't a thing to steal here,
but you should keep your door locked.
It was so hectic that I forgot to lock the door.
Why was it so hectic?
We have to move out.
- Mother. - Grandma.
Move in with us.
We're using the place as a storage now,
but once we move all the stuff, it should be as big as this place.
Mother.
It'd be so shameless of me to move into your house.
Do Na won't like the idea either.
Be shameless.
Until when will you treat each other like strangers?
Do Na won't like the idea, but it will last only for a while.
If you live together,
you'll naturally grow attached to each other.
Mother, I can't do that.
I'll feel too sorry to Do Na.
Let's move into her house.
She's right.
Let's be foolish even if she doesn't like us.
Let's be shameless.
- I told them to move in. - Grandma.
This is my house.
And I want to rent out one of my rooms.
- Then I'll move out. - You can't do that.
You'll leave behind your grandma who raised you up until now?
No one can persuade her once she puts her mind to it.
Just accept it.
It'll be awkward in the beginning, but things will get better in time.
I heard you said something strange to Ha Kyung.
I'll sleep for two hours and go out again.
I know you don't like anyone, so why did you tell such a lie?
Is it true that you like someone?
Why aren't you answering? You don't, right?
It's not deep enough to tell you yet.
I only told her...
my feelings.
So do you really have someone you like?
I mean, how great of a woman is she...
that you can't tell me who she is?
I'll go upstairs.
My gosh, he must really have someone.
What about Ha Kyung then?
No.
It's fortunate...
that a cold-hearted person like him has someone he likes.
("Acanthus")
My goodness.
It dropped by two percent?
Then again, Ha Young came out too much in this episode.
The episode focused on telling the main character's story.
"Wuthering Speed" overtook us.
It's a problem.
Gosh, it's full of comments.
I'm worried the drama might be ruined because of Ha Young.
Director Shin and Do Na must be depressed.
It's making everyone depressed.
Chul Sun said...
Do Na tried to stop him from casting Ha Young.
But he insisted on casting her because she fit the character.
- Really? - Director Shin must regret it.
Yes.
Okay.
- The shooting has been canceled. - Why?
You checked the rating this morning, and how could you ask why?
I didn't do anything wrong.
There are way too many articles blaming you for ruining the drama.
I did my best.
You couldn't focus on the drama.
You were obsessed with Do Hyun. No wonder your acting was horrible.
How could you say that?
Because I'm frustrated too.
All your scenes in today's shooting got canceled.
The director is going in a meeting to revise the script.
Do you not like me?
Well, that's not it.
How could I hate someone like you?
But I've never thought of liking you as a man.
That'd make me a really bad person.
Think of me as a man from now on.
How can I?
I can't be that bad.
You like someone who likes you, so why is it bad?
Director Shin.
I can't be...
a woman to you.
You know. I'm not that shameless.
Don't close your heart even before starting.
Just leave it open.
Director Shin. Please.
I have a conscience.
If I open my heart,
I won't be able to face Hwa Im.
No, I won't be able to face the world.
Then just face me.
