(Episode 68)
Will you go into work right away?
I think I should.
I'm sorry. You must be tired because of me.
I'm fine.
It's chilly. You should get back inside.
I don't want you to end up with another fever.
- Mr Nam. - Yes.
Thank you...
so much.
I'm grateful that your fever went down overnight.
I didn't stay up all night for nothing.
Go inside.
I won't leave until you go back inside.
I can't believe this.
Did they actually spend the night together?
Has Jung Ho come home yet?
No. He called and said that he's heading straight to work.
Did he say why he didn't come home last night?
No.
But...
I keep getting a bad feeling.
- What if... - What is it?
Nothing. Don't mind me.
Jung Ho will never do such a thing.
You've found locations for all scenes. Then let's talk...
to the actors in the afternoon and finalise the schedule.
Is there something else you want to say?
Did you work all night here yesterday?
- No. - Where were you?
Am I obligated to report these things to you?
I'm only asking because I was worried.
You didn't come home and didn't even call, so I was worried.
Were you actually worried about me?
Or do you want to know whom I was with?
Get back to work if you have nothing else to say.
What if...
Was he really with In Kyung last night?
(Script, "Thorns")
Goodness.
Gosh, why am I feeling so distracted?
Thank you for calling Queen Salon.
I bet you can't focus on work because you miss me too much.
My goodness. What on earth are you talking about?
I'm so focused on work right now.
Why did you call?
Mr Nam and I will be there soon.
He wants to have lunch together.
Really? Are you leaving now?
All right. See you shortly.
Han Soo and Mr Nam are coming here to have lunch with us.
- Really? - Mr Nam...
will pay for it, right?
He'll treat us to an expensive meal.
Ms Lee, what brings you here?
Why do you think I came to a hair salon?
What's with that face? Is this place choosy with customers?
Not at all.
Take her to the VIP room, please.
That hurts.
Can't you be more gentle?
I'm sorry.
Gosh, seriously!
I had high expectations since you're Ms Kang's makeup artist.
I'm disappointed.
Would you like someone else to do the service for you, then?
No. Keep going.
I want to see how terrible you are at your job.
Just tell me if you're not satisfied with the service.
Are you mute or what?
They obviously need to train their staff better.
Where's Ms Hong? Bring her right now!
You can speak to me.
I bet you're here to cause a scene anyway.
In Kyung, I'm here.
No one is here.
Why did you even hire this girl?
What was that?
Was that Seo Yeon?
If you're undereducated, you should at least be nice to customers.
Your attitude is so crass and ignorant.
Please watch your language.
She's a competent employee who is in charge of all of our VIP clients.
She's in charge of your VIP clients?
Gosh, the quality of Queen Salon's services has gone down the drain.
How can someone so tacky be in charge of your VIP clients?
What? Did you just call me tacky?
Hey! Let go.
You've been rubbing me the wrong way since when I first met you.
Fine! Let me show you what a tacky person can do to you!
- Choon Ja, stop. - Hey!
Choon Ja, you can't do this. Calm down.
Seo Yeon!
Choon Ja.
Tell me. Why on earth are you here?
Is that what's important to you? Did you not see that earlier?
That girl grabbed me by my hair.
I'm going to sue her.
You'll sue her?
Is that why you came here?
- What? - Did you come here to pick a fight?
Jung Ho, you've become so cruel.
I know that we're divorced,
but she humiliated me right in front of you. How can you say that?
So stop coming here.
Stop bothering In Kyung.
You're blindly taking her side.
People will assume that you're her husband.
- Seo Yeon, for goodness' sake. - I won't listen to you.
I'm going to come back here.
I'll show up again and harass her!
Seo Yeon!
I will be sure...
to teach those two a serious lesson.
I can't believe what she said to me while glaring those mean eyes at me.
Are you all right? Did you get hurt at all?
Han Soo.
Do you also think that I look tacky?
Why do you ask?
Is that what she said to you?
Yes. She called me tacky.
She said that I'm undereducated, crass and tacky.
What did she say?
I'm going to go punch her. How dare she say that to you!
Calm down. I'm fine, so just calm down already.
This is unacceptable. Let go of me. I need to go teach her a lesson.
This will turn into a huge deal if a third party gets involved.
Let it go for my sake.
Goodness.
Forget about what she said. Don't let it get to you.
I know what kind of person you are.
Han Soo.
No matter what anyone says,
I think that you're the best makeup artist in Korea.
To me, you're someone whom I want to cherish...
because you're so precious to me.
I'm precious to you?
Really?
So don't let it get you down. Just shake it off.
Got it?
It's still early. I don't know why I'm already so sleepy.
Oh, were you out?
I was just looking for something in the storage room.
I see.
What's that in your hand?
Oh, this.
I have to organise some stuff.
You should go to bed.
(To Nam Tae Joon, From Lee Yeon Hee)
In Kyung, I'm back.
Ms Hong, you must be exhausted.
How is Seung Joon? Is he doing well? Did he pester you when you left?
Can we sit down and talk?
I'm sorry. You must be really tired.
No, I'm fine. Seung Joon?
Both my cousin and her husband adore him so much.
They decorated his room so nicely, too.
Maybe that's why. Seung Joon made himself at home there very quickly.
He is close with their dog already.
Really? I'm so relieved.
That's why he sounded so happy.
What's the matter?
Are you sad to hear that he's doing well without you?
No, not at all.
I'm so thankful for their kindness.
Don't worry. My cousin is aware that she has to send him...
back to Korea three years later.
You just need to become a top actress until then.
You know what I mean, right?
Yes.
Thank you, Ms Hong.
Also, this company wants to hire you as their model.
The top cosmetic brand of Korea...
wants to sign you exclusively for a full year as their new face.
They're offering the highest industry rate.
Your face and voice will be all over the newspapers,
TV and radio every single day for one full year.
This contract will get you to the top.
Soon, you'll be able to bring Seung Joon back and keep him safe.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
- How I wonder what you are - You're so cute.
Up above the world so high
- Like a diamond in the sky - Gosh, my baby.
- Twinkle, twinkle, little star - Even without me,
- you're staying strong. - How I wonder what you are
I'm so proud of you, Seung Joon.
Son.
Don't forget Mum's face, okay?
I'll think of you every single day, too.
(Exclusive Modelling Contract)
I'll work harder...
and be sure to get to the top in order to keep you safe, Seung Joon.
You were away on a trip?
Why did you go away all of a sudden?
I had a lot on my mind, so I just wanted to clear my head.
Does it have to do with Yeon Hee's daughter?
Well, there was a bunch of reasons.
By the way, why did you want to see me so urgently?
A long time ago,
I asked you to pass on a letter to Yeon Hee.
Are you sure you gave it to her?
Sorry?
Oh, yes. Of course.
About her daughter whom you said you've found...
Yes.
(Baekdu Films)
Oh, boy.
Seo Yeon, it's been a long time.
Who knew I'd see you again here?
Chairman Lee is doing well, right?
I heard that you work for Mr Cha now.
By the way, I'd appreciate it if you can address me respectfully.
Call me Ms Lee.
- Please be careful from now on. - Pardon me?
Okay, sure.
Goodness, she's just like her father.
What did you just say?
Nothing.
Hi! I'm on time today, right?
Gosh, why is this meeting room so jam-packed today?
Gosh! Byun Geun Tae?
What? Hey, Yoon Mi Hee?
- Why are you here? - Did you not know?
I'm in charge of casting talents for supporting and minor roles.
What?
What is going on?
Baekdu Films and Yidojeonyoung are joining hands again...
to co-produce the film, "Thorns".
In this meeting, we'll be finalising the actors' schedules.
(Baekdu Films)
You're shooting a commercial?
Why do we have to worry about that?
I'm not asking you to worry about it.
I'm just giving you a heads-up because I think that schedule...
will come out before our shoot schedule.
That in and of itself bothers me.
Why would you shoot a commercial just before our first shoot?
What if both shoots happen...
to take place on the same day?
The commercial will help our film.
It'll make more people recognise our lead actress.
Jung Ho, what about me?
When will I be in a commercial?
For you...
We haven't received any request yet.
Really?
Then you shouldn't do it, either.
There's a thing called hierarchy.
We have to let her do it.
What are you all talking about?
If she becomes famous, it'll help us promote the film effectively.
Don't you think so, Mr Cha?
Ms Lee.
Mr Cha, please review this and...
In Kyung.
Are you feeling better?
Yes, I feel great now.
I owe it all to someone who took such good care of me.
I'm pretty sure that someone...
only does things like that for one specific person.
- Pardon me? - I'm saying...
that I don't look after everybody like that.
I should get back to work now that I've seen your smile.
I have to step out for a meeting with other producers.
I'll call you at night.
Ms Kang.
You two are so lovey-dovey even when you're at work.
You're not...
thinking of marrying him, are you?
I'm not sure why you're curious about it.
I mean, you and Mr Nam are over now.
That is the case at the moment,
but you never know.
No one knows what your future has in store for you.
- Aren't I right? - I'm not sure.
When you trust someone,
you feel assured.
I trust Mr Nam.
So please... Ms Lee.
Stop this now.
I feel so bad for you.
See you again soon.
Kang In Kyung.
That saucy girl.
So In Kyung is shooting another commercial.
Why did you say that at the meeting?
Did you have a change of heart or what?
This is why I wanted to be here today.
I knew that you'd be all confused.
I'm behind that commercial she is doing.
Pardon me?
That commercial will end her career.
She won't be able to make a comeback...
because she'll get involved in a nasty affair scandal.
Affair scandal?
That sounds fun.
(From Nam Tae Joon, To Lee Yeon Hee)
(Director Hong Soo Ji)
(From Nam Tae Joon, To Lee Yeon Hee)
Yeon Hee,
Tae Joon asked me about this letter.
If I had given you this letter back then...
It's possible that you two were torn apart...
and your life got all ruined...
because of me.
I'm sorry.
Back then, I just didn't want you to leave.
I didn't want to be left alone in the theatre company.
I was too scared.
That's why...
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, Yeon Hee.
Ms Hong, are you inside?
What brings you here at this hour? In Kyung is at Baekdu Films.
Well...
I thought you'd be here even if In Kyung isn't around.
I heard that Seung Joon is staying with your relative.
I just wanted to ask you how he's doing.
All right. Let's talk in my office.
Ms Hong, Madam Choi from Pyeongchang-dong is here.
Really?
I'm sorry. Do you mind waiting in my office for a little while?
Sure, that's no problem.
I heard that she used to be famous as a trainer for actresses,
but her office is quite humble.
There's nothing fancy here.
What is this?
"Yeon Hee"?
Why did she take a photo with In Kyung's birth mother?
Don't let anyone into my office.
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
It's okay. Actually,
let's talk some other time.
I just remembered that I forgot something. I better get going.
In Kyung, I have bad news.
I heard that Mr Nam got into an accident.
- Accident? - Yes.
I heard that he's at a hospital now. I hope it wasn't a big accident.
Which hospital? How serious is his injury?
(Samil Medical Centre)
Oh, In Kyung.
- What brings you here? - Are you all right?
Are you really okay?
Pardon?
Oh, did you hear about the accident?
I guess there was a misunderstanding.
Mr Kim got minor abrasions, and as you can see...
I'm totally fine...
Thank goodness.
I'm so relieved.
- In Kyung. - I was...
so worried thinking that something happened to you.
I thought something bad happened to you.
I was really worried.
Then let's stay like this...
for a little longer.
Just a little bit more.
Can I be this happy about getting into an accident?
No, you shouldn't. I was so worried.
By the way, are you really all right?
I heard that injuries from a car accident can take time to manifest.
I'm fine. We just got bumped lightly by the car behind us.
Come to think of it,
there's actually a throbbing pain in my arms...
Gosh. I think my head is hurting a bit, too.
Your head?
Oh, boy. I can't do this.
I wanted to be a crybaby,
but I can't lie to your face.
My goodness.
Don't do that, please.
I'm going to be angry at you.
Well...
Do you know that I was touched?
You...
hugged me tightly.
That's not exactly true.
I was just...
so relieved. I didn't even know that I was doing it.
That's precisely why it's more touching.
Now, I know...
what you weren't even aware of.
Aren't I right?
This is delicious.
Oh, my. It's so good.
(Bae Soon Ja)
Dear me.
My goodness.
It's "ch", not "s". How many times do I have to tell you?
It's "Choon", not "Soon".
Put a dot over the consonant that looks like a roof.
That's the right one. Do you get it?
Is memorising it that hard?
This one also looks like a roof.
I'm just confused between those two roofs.
Gosh, it's not like there are 10 of them. Why can't you memorise them?
I don't get why you're confused.
Give it to me. I'll fix it.
(Bae Ssoon Ja)
That's it. Double is always the way to go.
How can you crack a joke right now? Is this funny to you?
Do you think this is funny?
Well, everyone can forget a thing or two.
Show me again. That consonant or whatever it's called.
Gosh, this is driving me crazy.
How is this even possible?
Which planet are you from?
This is driving you crazy, isn't it? I feel the same way.
I don't want to do this if you'll keep belittling me like this. Bye!
Hey, wait. That's not what I meant.
Choon Ja.
Gosh, Choon Ja.
Bae Ssoon Ja.
(Bae Ssoon Ja)
(Seoul Sundaeguk)
What's so important? Go away!
- Hello. - Hello.
King Sejong the Great.
What should I do now?
King Sejong the Great won't know what to say. Stop calling him.
What can you do? You'll just have to study harder.
Oh, Han Soo is here.
Kang Han Soo.
The guy who has a serious crush on me, Han Soo.
Yes, I like you a lot.
So stop making me worry about you.
You're so fearless to be drinking alone at this hour.
Let's go home.
Han Soo.
I can't do it.
No matter how hard I try...
to memorise those letters,
I always end up throwing them up like this and forgetting them.
It's because your brain is overloaded. It's all right.
It's okay. Don't worry.
You better not give up, though.
I won't give up on you, either.
Did you say that you won't give up on me?
That's right.
I'm sorry about earlier.
Forgive me now, and let's go home.
Han Soo.
Kang Han Soo. Han Soo.
Why are you calling my name so sweetly? It makes my heart flutter.
Gosh, what are you doing?
Let go.
You told me that I'm pretty,
but I think you look so silly.
Get your hands off of me. I clearly warned you.
I don't want to.
Han Soo.
Consider this as an honour.
(Seoul International Hotel)
I trust Mr Nam.
So please... Ms Lee.
Stop this now.
I feel so bad for you.
Kang In Kyung.
How saucy.
How can she be so confident?
Kang In Kyung.
- Hello? - Back then,
I should've listened to you.
Is this Seo Yeon?
You kept telling me to stop taking those pills,
but I always ignored you.
I should have...
quit it then.
Pills?
What are you...
talking about now?
I've decided to put an end to everything,
and you're the only one who comes to my mind.
That's right.
I'm going to kill myself.
Seo Yeon, what are you talking about?
Where are you now?
Why are you getting dressed? Where are you going this late?
Ms Lee is saying that she wants to sue Choon Ja for assault.
What?
Is it because of the fight they had yesterday?
Yes.
She's saying that she'll sue her if I don't apologise to her now.
I should go speak with her. I'll be back soon.
Seo Yeon.
Seo Yeon, open the door!
What's going on? I thought you took your sleeping pills.
Those pills?
Yes, I took them.
How many did I take?
Seo Yeon.
Did you take everything in here? Seriously?
Did I take them all?
Oh, that's why everything is spinning right now.
Seo Yeon, what are you thinking?
