(Episode 27)
If you're planning to open a restaurant...
because of Do Na, don't do it.
That's not the only reason.
Actors don't have consistent income,
so I want a stable side job.
If I serve, I think it'll be okay.
If you're going to serve, the shop will be famous in no time,
but it's not easy running a restaurant.
I'm determined. I'll give it everything I've got.
Please help me, ma'am.
Okay.
We have a supervisor who manages the stores,
so I'll help you advertise.
Brace yourself, and give it a try.
Thank you.
- Cut. Okay. - Cut. Okay.
Are you all right? You got hit.
I'm all right.
What? Did you get hurt?
No, it grazed me.
I think you got hit.
I didn't. Don't worry.
- Thank you. - Thanks.
Let me see. Did you get hit here?
What are you doing?
My head is burning because that was so intense.
Your hands are cold, so I want to cool myself down.
Put some ice on it.
Do people with cold hands have cold hearts?
Some say cold hands...
mean warmer hearts.
No wonder.
When we first met, I thought you had a warm heart.
- Bum Woo, Bum Woo. - What?
When at work, just work. Don't try to date me.
We only meet on set. I'll take what I can get.
You talk too much these days.
My heart's alive, and that makes me talk.
I don't like cheeky men.
I'm not being cheeky. I'm telling the truth.
Welcome.
Why do you keep wanting to see me?
I want to ask you something.
This guy called Shin Dong Woo.
He visited when I was outside your house.
I sensed something between you.
He'd come by to discuss something about my acting.
Then...
do I not have to worry?
Why would you be worried when I have...
no intentions of getting back with you?
Lara.
Forget that we were once married.
And that it lasted for 25 years.
You and I just met.
Look at me without any prejudice whatsoever.
How can I do that when we have a past?
I'll try to make it possible.
Just don't cause me any problems.
If it doesn't work,
I'll back off.
- It's not coffee. - We're out.
I know you want to get on Director Ha's good side,
but aren't you spending too much?
I do need to impress her grandmother,
but I need to create an excuse to...
see her often to show her who I am.
Yes, but you have no experience as a restaurateur.
Let's say the business fails. What's the big deal?
It costs a fortune.
Then Director Ha will be even more concerned.
And her grandmother will like me more out of pity.
Why would my business fail? It wouldn't fail.
You tasted the old lady's kalguksu.
It's worth the bet.
You bet way too much these days.
Did you apologize to your teacher?
He's gone traveling.
Really?
Apologize when he comes back,
and say you'll work harder.
Mom, I think I'm a bit strange.
- Why? Do you have a cold? - No.
When I heard my teacher had gone on a trip,
I felt upset all of a sudden.
Do you think you like him?
- Do I? - "Do I?"
You must know how you feel.
I don't trust men after my last failure.
But?
But I guess I trusted him.
Does seeing him give you butterflies?
I don't know about that.
But thinking I can't see him for a while makes me miss him.
Forget about the painful past,
and accept your current feelings as best you can.
- Is that what you do? - What do you mean?
Do you think you can forget about...
the pain Dad caused and start over?
I don't know. It's too complicated.
I hate your dad when I see him,
but when he makes me think of our past,
I feel a bit jittery and excited.
Is it time for us to start dating again?
Director.
Did the meeting go well?
Yes.
We'll reduce Su Jeong's scenes...
and focus on the male characters.
We'll get the script tomorrow.
You did well.
- Well done. - Good job.
Director Ha.
Yes?
I guess I was too stubborn.
If most of the people have the same opinion,
there must be a reason for it.
I'll get us some coffee.
Do you think he blames himself?
He managed to bring Ha Young this far because he is who he is.
That's true,
but I've never seen him so discouraged.
Tomorrow, he'll be back on set, giving orders like always.
- Right? - Of course.
Where's Director Shin?
He got a call and left.
I apologize for calling you over so late.
It's fine.
What's this about?
- Have a seat. - Okay.
- Have a drink. - Sure.
You know how...
when someone gets close to the person you love,
you can tell right away whether he's a threat or not.
I like Lara.
Isn't that what you wanted to find out?
I'm taken aback. You admitted to it so easily.
Does she...
feel the same toward you?
Not yet.
It's one-sided from my part.
I did tell her how I feel.
How old are you?
I'm 35.
You're 15 years younger than her.
That doesn't matter to me.
She's a very timid person.
Even if she likes someone,
she will not show it.
I believe that's up to me.
If I give her the confidence, she will muster up the courage.
I believe that...
she will return to me soon.
If so,
I will let her go.
Let us drink, then.
What? Seol Do Hyun will open a franchise?
I was concerned he was spending too much over you...
and asked him about it this way and that,
but he'd made up his mind.
Celebrities don't have a stable income,
so they all have second jobs.
I bet he got stuck on the idea, knowing your grandma will help.
- It's because of me. - Don't get ahead of yourself.
He's not entirely uninterested in you,
but he seems to really want to open up a restaurant.
Do you want to give him a franchise?
He has no prior experience.
Do you think I got into it because I did?
He reminds me of when I was younger.
I want to help him.
Even the deities would be impressed with his devotion.
If 10,000 paper cranes weren't enough,
he took another step forward.
My gosh, this is so pressuring.
You're so lucky.
You're being loved by two men.
You probably won't even have any regrets even if you die right now.
You're only saying that because you don't know how I feel.
Some people might say I should be grateful at the fact that...
I have two men to choose from.
But to be honest, I'd rather just have one man like me.
You mean, Bum Woo?
You little brat. Do you want to get beaten up again?
Aunt, I need to get changed.
Dong Woo.
- Are you that upset? - What do you mean?
It's just that you normally never drink.
I just had a few glasses because I met someone at a bar.
Are you talking about Writer Park?
- What? - I thought about it.
I thought about who would be your type among the people you know.
And I couldn't stop thinking about Writer Park.
- You got it all wrong. - Stop denying.
Who else could it be other than her?
I feel sorry for Ha Kyung,
but I'd be more than happy to greet Writer Park into the family.
It's not what you think. Please let me get changed.
Dong Woo, I'm really quick-witted.
My goodness.
I'm sure you read the edited script.
The story is going to revolve around you two from now on.
- So please do your best. - Okay.
Us two?
Okay.
What did he say?
What do you think? He told us to work hard.
My gosh, I can't believe Bum Woo is going to appear as much as I do.
You should've tried complaining.
How can I do that when I know there's no time to edit the script?
What an embarrassment.
It just makes no sense that a rookie actor is getting as much...
camera time as I am.
I'll have a word with Director Shin. I'll see you guys at the set.
Chi Bok, what are you going to say to him?
I'm just going to have a word. See you guys later.
Wait.
Let's go.
My goodness. You startled me.
What are you doing here again?
(List of Kim Chi Bok's Property)
What's this?
It's a list of my current property.
I don't think of you as a materialistic person,
but I thought I should give you a chance to think things over.
I'm not just hitting on you for fun.
I want to let you know that I'm willing to take things seriously.
I'll be off then.
My gosh.
What is wrong with him?
My gosh, what does he take me for?
He's unbelievable.
(List of Kim Chi Bok's Property)
(Possession of Housing)
(Possession of Cars)
I told you that this could happen.
But this is just too much.
I'm supposed to be the main character.
How can I have less scenes than the restaurant owner?
If you get more scenes, you'll only get more negative articles.
Let's just settle with this for this drama.
Are you seriously telling me to stay down?
It's not the time to act up.
If you go around drinking, I'm really not going to stand still.
You're not even going to let me drink?
Why don't you just tell me to die?
Hey, do whatever you want if you want to end your career!
Hey, Bum Woo. Bum Woo.
Hey, wake up.
Why? What did you dream about?
It was nothing.
I dreamt of you covered in blood.
First, let's go to work.
You need to wake up.
Do you have nightmares every night?
No.
What about your insomnia? Is it better?
I guess not. You suffer so much while you sleep.
I'm sure you're not in a good condition even when you're awake.
I just have weird dreams once in a while.
- Bum Woo. - Yes?
Do you really not want to get treated?
I never made a mistake on set.
I'm just worried that it'll take a toll on you.
What's with that smile?
Whenever I see you worry about me,
I feel happy.
I feel unhappy because of you.
Does that mean you're unhappy that I like you?
You're hiding the fact that you're ill.
And there's nothing I can do to help you.
I'm healthy. Trust me.
I'd rather have you stay quiet than lie to me.
We'll be late. Let's go.
You need to stop visiting me on set like this.
What's this?
Do Na seems to be interested in someone else.
So?
It's weird that you're ignoring me even after seeing this.
She must've had a good reason.
If I misunderstand her just by looking at this photo,
that would only mean that my feelings weren't sincere.
I'm impressed by how much you trust her.
How can anyone love without trust?
I thought we were both doing one-sided loves?
Not me.
So you're going to be a man?
Director Ha.
Yes?
Didn't you say that you were going to be fair on me and Bum Woo?
Yes, I did.
But why does it feel like you care for Bum Woo more than me?
That's because I do care for him more than you.
Does that mean you like him?
No, that's not it. I personally trained Bum Woo for this role.
So I can't help but feel a bit closer to him.
Do you know who Kim Seo Hyun is?
Yes, I do. I said hello to her last time.
She showed me a photo of Bum Woo...
holding your arm.
It also seemed like it was taken in front of Bum Woo's place.
That's quite rude of her.
It's my personal life.
Is there something going on between you and Bum Woo?
I went to pick him up because I was worried that he might be late.
Then come pick me up an hour before the shoot as well.
That's only fair.
This is so difficult.
Well, I'm sure it won't be easy to choose between two men.
Promise me that you'll come pick me up.
Okay, I will.
Bye.
Over here. This way.
Here it is. Take a look around. It's not bad, is it?
It's really nice.
We'll pay you the rent every month on time.
My goodness, that's a given.
I asked Do Na and Young Hee to come early tonight for dinner.
So let's all eat dinner together.
Do Na isn't very happy, is she?
She's never been so happy about you,
so she'll obviously treat you the same way.
But you should know that she has a soft heart.
I think so too.
She took the gloves I got her...
although she acted like she didn't like them.
- Really? - Yes.
She even put in a good word about me to the music director.
Are you serious?
Do Na has a lot of love for the people around her.
I'm here.
- Did you do well? - Yes.
What's this?
What's wrong? What is it?
It's a dead cat.
What?
Who did this? This is overboard. He or she must be a psychopath.
I'll go bury it.
She's so brave.
It's getting more and more serious,
so make sure you take good care of her.
- Okay. - Okay.
It must be a psychopath.
Who can it be?
They're able to come here freely...
and only come when the office is empty.
They must know our schedule then.
The culprit could be near us.
I'm watching the people around us,
but nobody is acting out of ordinary.
Hey, hey. Let's go home.
Your grandma said we have to eat dinner at home today.
That's right.
I know you're not too happy about it,
but if you can't avoid it, you have to enjoy it.
Let's go first.
Oh, dear.
My gosh. Let's talk about something.
Grandma, your braised short ribs are so good today.
- Right? - Yes.
I showed off my skill.
Have a lot.
Talk.
What? What's wrong?
Have some water.
Oh, dear. What is it?
Grandma.
Do Na looks so scary when she looks at me.
Why can't you stop?
You missed how Do Na was staring at me.
It was as if...
she had lasers shooting out of her eyes.
Why did you copy her then?
You noticed too?
I grabbed your knee so that you would stop.
I wanted to look cute in front of her.
Hey.
You're too old to be cute.
Mom.
We have to watch out.
We can't do anything that angers her.
Got it?
Once you make the distribution industry,
go on a honeymoon with Hye Mi.
I still have a lot of work to do.
I won't have time for it.
You can find time.
I feel bad for Hye Mi.
Take a week off, and go.
You should. You'll get a chance to talk too.
Lucky you.
What about your brother?
How is your father's second marriage coming along?
It was a false report.
My father is not getting married again.
Is that right?
Then he can get back together with your mother.
That won't be easy after what happened.
My father is planning to get back together with her.
That's great to hear.
- But Hye Mi. - Yes, Father.
Do you have better news?
Father is rushing us.
I feel like it's all my fault, so I feel uncomfortable.
We can go ahead with our plan.
Don't worry about my parents.
Do you know how many times we slept together after we got married?
I'm going to do some work in my study. You can go to bed.
It was just once.
Do you think this is possible for a married couple?
I moved.
To where?
I'm in Do Na's grandma's place.
I see.
All right. I'll call you back.
(Episode 28)
- Yes. - May I?
Oh, dear.
Your sister is incredible.
I went to wash up, and there was not a single drop of water.
She doesn't want to disturb you, so she's trying her best.
So talk to her when you eat.
I have nothing to say.
We're a family, so we can say whatever.
I just realized you don't get mad...
when I say, "your sister" or "family".
What is it? Are you starting to relax?
What are you so focused on?
Bum Woo has a fanpage now.
He only has 124 fans.
Hey, he still got one.
If Bum Woo knew how much you did for him,
he's not supposed to like you.
If he wants you to be well, he has to hide his feelings for you...
and hope that things work out between you and Do Hyun.
You're so loud. Aren't you tired?
I am. I'm going to bed.
You must be uncomfortable because of us.
Yes.
We shouldn't be living off of you.
I'm sorry.
Wait.
It's especially cold today.
We'll be very quiet. We won't cause any trouble.
Mr. Kim, don't you have any ambitions?
How long will you be the number three?
It's not like a movie. You're staying there for too long.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Give it a thought. I'll support you.
I don't have to think about it.
I'm sure that's the case for now.
But do give it another thought.
Opportunities only come once in a lifetime.
- Cut, okay. - Cut, okay.
Wow, he's good.
Thank you.
Sure. You'll do very well.
I'll do my best.
Bum Woo, you just got an offer for a pictorial.
Do we have the time to do that?
I made sure it doesn't interfere with the shooting.
It's titled, "This Man Captured Our Eyes."
Isn't that something?
Director Ha, Bum Woo is doing a pictorial shoot.
Really? That's great.
It's all because you made him...
into someone worthy.
You should thank me.
How can she say that and not make it sound weird?
Director Shin.
- You wanted to see me. - Hi.
I told Chairman Jung that I like you.
I figured he wanted to see me to ask that,
so I was honest.
Director Shin, please.
Can you take back your heart?
If I could, I wouldn't have told you to begin with.
I felt confident that I couldn't. That's why I told you.
I really can't take your feelings.
It's because of this distance.
As an actor and a director. The fact that we're 15 years apart.
That you're friends with my aunt.
All of those reasons are telling you to keep your distance from me.
- If you know that, please stop. - Can't you just think of us...
as a man and a woman?
Then you'll know for sure...
how you feel about me.
We have some time left, so come eat with me.
Have a seat.
Did you prepare all this yourself?
Of course.
My hobby is cooking.
It's why I want to start a franchise with your grandma's shop.
Have some.
Sure.
It's good.
I hope days like these...
fill the rest of my life.
You'll make me sick.
Right?
Wasn't I too cheesy?
Do you know that?
It was only an image which I lived on,
but I think it caught on as a habit after some time.
That's why I'm trying hard to get rid of that cheesiness.
I'm glad.
I think it'll ruin the vibe...
if I bring up Bum Woo right now,
but you should really look into your heart.
Maybe your sympathy for Bum Woo is holding you back.
I'm sure you're more likely...
to be considerate of him because you turned a guy...
who was nameless for seven years into a legitimate actor.
However, if you confuse sympathy with love,
it'll end up hurting both of you.
Thank you for the advice.
I guess a part of you sympathized him if you're thanking me for this.
Well,
I can't say that I didn't.
- I wanted to meet for business. - What business?
I want you...
to be a model for our diet products.
How can I be a model?
You should find someone younger.
There aren't many women who look as good as you at your age.
I'll decline.
Do you...
not want to get involved with me even for work?
No.
Is this because of...
Director Shin?
It's not that.
He said he likes you.
It didn't feel so bad.
I was kind of proud to hear that my woman could still...
steal the heart of a guy who's 15 years younger.
How do you feel about him?
Can I be honest as your old friend?
Go ahead.
I didn't feel anything at first.
He was just a director that I respected.
But?
After he told me he liked me,
my heart began to move.
It was surprising to see that I still had this emotion in me.
I'm being silly.
I'm the one who's bad.
Well, he seemed like a good guy.
Sure, that can happen.
If a younger guy says he likes you,
your heart can definitely move.
But still, I'm not worried.
You don't take chances.
If things get hard and difficult, tell me no matter what it is.
I'll hear you out.
Like you said, we're old friends.
- Thank you. - But I won't be...
staying as friends for long.
Now that I have a rival in love, I should try harder, shouldn't I?
It's my first time shooting a pictorial, so I'm very nervous.
So do you want me to lend Do Na to you?
I'm not an object.
Just for three hours.
Sure.
Director Ha, you should go with him.
You don't have anything this afternoon.
Director Shin.
Thank you.
Do you want me to slap you?
I'm not that nervous.
Then why did you want me here?
I wanted to show you a different side of me.
So you want to show me the cool side of you?
Something like that.
You aren't even trying to hide this anymore.
I'm not hiding anything from you.
No, there is one thing.
That thing you're afraid of.
Can you watch me from here?
Come in.
Mom, why are you living here?
To get closer with your sister.
Mom, she'll end up looking down on you.
She's not that type.
You can find me here from now on.
It's too uncomfortable. I'll meet you outside.
You need to get closer with your sister too.
It'll happen naturally in time.
At least you aren't saying no.
Anyway,
why do you look so troubled?
You looked really great before you got married.
You've been looking worn out and troubled.
Why?
Is something going on?
What is it?
Tell me.
What can't you tell me?
- Joon Ho's a bit strange. - What do you mean?
What is so strange?
He comes home late every night...
and wants us to delay having kids.
Do you think he's having an affair?
He wouldn't. He's not that kind of a guy.
If the wife has a bad feeling, it means something is up.
Look into it. If you're wrong, all is well.
If you're right, you must rein him in.
Gosh, we have a guest. I went out to get groceries.
This is Sung Ah's older sister.
Are you? You're so pretty.
You're married?
Yes. How are you? I heard a lot about you.
It must be nice being a newlywed.
What are you doing here?
I had some free time.
Hello.
Hello. Excuse me.
Why that...
She's so rude.
- I know what she's like. - Do you?
Don't let it get to you. She's only like that on the outside.
I know.
Find out for me.
You're the only person...
I can ask.
I understand.
- Aunt. - That was nice.
I'll go and get changed. Let's leave together.
Okay.
Hey, I met Writer Park for a meal earlier.
Why bother a busy person?
We all need to eat to live.
We parted after less than an hour.
I asked in a roundabout way,
and I think she's a bit interested in you.
I told you it's not her.
Then who is it?
I'll tell you when she feels the same way I do.
How great is she that she'd not like you?
I'm going upstairs.
Hey.
My goodness.
Gosh.
"Mother" when you aren't even related?
I liked how friendly it sounded.
From what Chul Sun said,
Seol Do Hyun likes your sister a lot.
I think Bum Woo likes her too.
What?
I read an interview he did.
He struggled as an actor for seven years,
and Do Na made him a star.
When they're together, there's this strange air about them.
Do you mean they both like her?
I think so.
I hope it works out with Seol Do Hyun.
He's a huge star and just the right age.
I'll root for my friend.
Bum Woo seems like a nice guy.
He's younger than Do Na,
and he still has a way to go.
Who knows when he'll make it big?
Mom, are you showing how shallow you are?
Whom Do Na likes is more important.
Yes, but that's how things are from a mom's perspective.
Whom will Do Na pick? It's quite exciting.
Hey, is your teacher back?
No.
He went to Africa. I think he'll be away for a while.
Do you still miss him?
A little more each day?
You silly.
- That hurt. - Me too.
How much is the rent of a three-story building in Gangnam?
- Who owns it? - Someone I know.
Why are you interested in...
Is it President Kim?
- It's not. - As if it weren't.
It's written all over your face, so you can't lie.
Even if he has a stable income, I need to feel the love.
It's not an arranged marriage.
You aren't from a rich enough family for that.
Hey, President Kim's loaded.
I won't be sold for money.
After telling me to marry Seol Do Hyun because he's rich?
I love someone else.
You do? Who?
Did you tell him?
- It's Director Shin. - Wake up.
Love is beautiful from a distance.
I never want to get close.
You'd better grab the man who's willing to get close to you.
- Where are you going? - For some air.
Why are you here and not filming?
Min Hyuk and Ms. Kang's filming.
I came up here just in case, and we met.
I should go and cheer Min Hyuk on.
You're a player.
I am. I'm an expert at causing people grief.
Do you like making me jealous?
No, it's just a hassle.
Tell the truth. Aren't you enjoying this situation?
The prime of my life won't come back.
I'll enjoy it while I can.
You speak so frivolously.
Because I don't like how serious you people are.
When I watch you talk to Do Hyun,
a thin thread leaves a cut on my heart.
It might be the thread that I fear.
No, that's not true.
You fear something else.
You say you think you love me,
but you never talk about it.
That's why we're parallel to each other.
See you.
Thanks a lot. You're rich.
I didn't give it to you to brag.
I wanted to show you that you can live comfortably...
I like to work.
I don't know why men think women choose marriage for a living.
That's why I like you.
You don't waver over this and have your own opinion.
And you don't think marriage is a livelihood.
I don't insist that a relationship should lead to marriage.
We could be friends or lovers...
and rely on each other for the rest of our lives.
Gosh, what was that about?
Did my heart just skip a beat?
Young Hee, Young Hee. That's money talking. Get a grip.
- I ran you a bath. - You didn't have to.
Can't you please talk casually to me?
(Director Shin)
Hello?
I'm at a park nearby.
Please give me a moment.
I won't go out.
I'm sorry.
Director Shin.
Were you here the whole time?
What if you catch a cold?
If you were so worried about me, you should have come earlier.
I almost froze to death.
Why would you wait?
I told you I wasn't coming. You should have left.
But you came.
- Director Shin. - Yes?
Don't sway me.
I just want to live like this.
I don't want to be anybody's woman but just a mom.
I lived as somebody's woman for 25 years. That's enough so...
Am I swaying you?
I have a hunch.
If I didn't believe in it,
I wouldn't have confessed to you.
You are wrong. I simply respect you...
You said I'm swaying you.
Yes.
I'm a woman.
I'm old, but I still...
have feelings.
A handsome, young man like you said you like me.
How can I not be swayed? However...

(Everybody, beware of the cold.)
