(Episode 117)
You already finished the storyboard.
I'm very impressed.
- Did you like the script? - Yes.
The details can be discussed later.
First, let's finish up casting for all roles.
For the male lead character, Joo Won,
I'm thinking the actor, Han Jin Gyu. What do you think, Mr Oh?
My gosh, that'd be amazing.
He has rich sensibilities. He'd be perfect for that character.
Then I'll move ahead with the decision.
Gosh, everything is happening so fast.
At this rate, we'll be able to start shooting before our initial plan.
It's a great project. We have a very capable producer...
as well as an actress who is known for her performances.
If there's any delay, it'd be solely my fault.
- Aren't I right, Ms Kang? - I'm flattered.
All right. I should get going now.
We'll be in touch as soon as all casting decisions are finalised.
Sure. I'll speak to you both soon.
From his script to storyboard,
it looks like you're very happy with everything.
I do like his work,
but it's not sitting...
- completely right with me. - It's not?
- In what way? - I feel as if...
I'm reading a storyboard written by Min Woo.
It's giving me a weird feeling.
As much as I hate to admit it,
Min Woo has been a big influence in the film industry.
I bet Mr Oh has also been analysing and studying...
his storyboards. That can explain the stylistic similarities.
That must be the case, right? I guess I'm being overly sensitive.
Yes. I mean, he's dead.
Let's forget about him now.
All right. Shall we go grab lunch now?
In Kyung didn't seem to be suspicious about it at all?
Of course not. She completely believed me.
I didn't expect it to be this easy.
Did she say anything else?
Yes, we talked about casting.
She said she wants Han Jin Gyu for the male lead role.
- We can't do that. - No?
Don't you think it'll be a successful casting decision?
Tell them that you want Kang Sung Il instead of him.
He's too popular these days. Casting him won't be easy.
Plus, he's not right for the character, either.
Mr Oh.
- Yes. - Who wrote the script...
for "Snowflakes"?
Well, it's...
You wrote it.
What about the storyboard?
You made it.
I said I'd work as your ghostwriter...
and let you take all the honour...
only if you follow my opinions on everything without question.
Have you forgotten our agreement?
We came up with that system because you can't work at the moment...
as you've been cast out.
If you've changed your mind,
please just take your hands off the project.
That's not the case at all.
Then say no to them.
Come up with an excuse and oppose the decision.
All right. Understood.
Going through hoops to cast an actor who's in high demand...
will make them suffer a heavier blow when the film gets called off.
You'll have to work on Saechang's first film soon,
so all you need to do for "Snowflakes"...
is make them believe that it's going somewhere.
Do you get what I'm saying?
Yes. I'll do that.
In Kyung, you're producing a film?
You just watch. That very film will end up strangling you.
I can't remember when I last saw you enjoying your lunch that much.
Really?
It's probably because we hadn't had lunch together in a while.
What's wrong?
What did you see? You look so surprised.
I think I just saw Min Woo...
Min Woo...
Jung Ho, did you not see him?
- In Kyung. - He just...
walked into that alley over there.
Calm down, In Kyung.
We must catch him. It really was Min Woo.
In Kyung, look at me.
Min Woo died.
He's dead.
You saw everything that day.
Right.
I did.
I think you've been too stressed out lately because of the film.
I guess so.
But that guy just now...
He looked so much like Min Woo.
Try to let loose a little.
A good outcome follows when you enjoy your work.
You're right.
It's the first film I'm producing, you know.
I must have been worried about many things.
Let's go.
Kim Sin Woo.
That's your new name.
- Do you like it? - Yes.
I like it very much, Sir.
Why do you want to make everyone believe you committed suicide...
and start a completely new life?
That means you'll have to give up everything you've achieved.
I've already lost everything.
Nam Tae Joon is trying to kill me,
and I cannot do anything in the film industry with my name.
You're right.
You're back to being a no-name film director,
but don't ever forget that you'll be representing Saechang.
I won't, Sir. You saved my life.
Thank you very much.
Don't mention it.
But you have to become someone that I need.
Only then, I'll feel that saving you was worthwhile.
I'm well aware of it, Sir.
Gosh, it's so cold.
You said you'd turn yourself in.
Did you really mean it?
Min Woo...
- Are you all right? - Yes.
Min Woo!
Min Woo...
Min Woo!
In Kyung.
I wrote this for you.
I really hope you like it.
(Script for "Snowflakes")
I beg of you. Please grant me my wish.
Please kindly save my life...
by helping me conceive a baby.
If you don't help me, Mother will kill me.
What are you doing? Why aren't you praying?
I beg of you. Please help us.
Goodness. That doesn't sound zealous enough.
Say it louder.
These spirits must have bad hearing as they've been around for ages.
All right. Please help us. I beg of you.
- Was that better? - Louder.
Please help us. I sincerely beg of you.
What are you guys doing now?
Gosh, you startled us.
Gosh, Mum.
Why aren't you sleeping?
Goodness, were you guys praying?
Yes, we were.
Why all of a sudden?
Well, it's...
We were praying for...
Were you praying for your baby to be born healthy and sound?
My gosh, you sure deserve a compliment.
Choon Ja, you've matured up since you became pregnant.
Still, it's so cold now.
You shouldn't be outside like this because you're pregnant.
I'll pray for your baby. You guys should go to bed.
It's okay, Mother.
I'll do it. I have to do it myself.
Choon Ja is right, Mum. We'll pray for our baby.
- You should go to bed. - Cut it out.
Just take Choon Ja and go back to your room.
Gosh, she can't catch a cold now.
Go back to your room. Go to bed. Go on.
Get some sleep. Go on.
Hurry up. Good night, guys.
I got this. Don't even worry.
I beg of you. Please protect my beloved daughter-in-law...
so that she can have a safe delivery.
Please also protect her baby so that it can be born healthy and sound.
I beg of you. I sincerely beg of you.
Han Soo, I really can't keep going like this.
We're wronging her, and I feel so horrible about it.
It's freezing outside, too. We have to stop her.
Wait. How will you stop her, though?
"I'm not pregnant. We lied to you." Will you say that to her?
If you do, she'll actually faint.
This is driving me crazy.
Until when do we have to carry this huge burden around in our chest?
I honestly feel so guilty.
I feel as though I'm walking in the midst of thorny bushes.
Gosh, I feel so bad. What should we do?
(Saechang)
You want me to steal information on Baekdu's next film and contracts?
I'm an executive director there. Stealing such information is...
Let me remind you. You're my daughter before all of that.
And I got you into that company for a day like this.
- Have you forgotten all about it? - How could I?
I didn't expect it to be sprung on me like this.
Don't worry. All the preparation has already been taken care of.
Soon, Saechang will be embarking on a new venture...
to produce the company's very first film.
- Already? - Yes.
Also, about the project you guys at Baekdu are working on...
"Snowflakes" or whatever it's called.
You're talking about the film In Kyung is producing, right?
Yes. Don't waste too much of your time and energy on it...
because it won't even be screened in cinemas.
What do you mean?
By any chance, is the film director, Oh Man Dong, working for you?
He has always been my guy.
Another director who's even more capable is under my wing now.
There he is. Speak of the devil.
You two haven't seen each other for so long. You should catch up.
My gosh.
How have you been, Ms Lee?
Mr Cha, how could you...
She looks very surprised to see me. Please don't worry.
- I'm not a ghost. - What happened?
I thought you died. How can you be here right now?
I risked my life in order to survive...
and was able to find a way back to life.
But I must say, I wouldn't be here now if it weren't for your father...
because he saved my life.
It looks like Saechang Films will be founded sooner than expected.
Rumour has it that they already started working on their first film.
I heard the rumour, too.
Do you think Ms Lee will go work for them?
Probably. She hasn't mentioned anything yet, though.
Let's wait and see what she decides to do.
Okay.
Hello?
Pardon?
What did you just say?
(Hanam Police Station)
You're saying...
that one of the residents saw Min Woo that day, right?
Yes. The resident witnessed some big guys...
pulling a man out of the river.
The description of the man is almost identical with Mr Cha.
Does that mean...
there's a possibility that Min Woo could be alive?
It doesn't look impossible,
but we should investigate further to know more.
There are a few things that seem suspicious,
so we plan to reinvestigate the case.
Jung Ho, what should we do now?
Don't worry, In Kyung. We don't...
We don't know it for certain yet.
(Script for "Snowflakes")
(Future Projects and Contract Statuses)
Steal as much information as you can before you leave Baekdu Films.
Anything that can knock the Nam family down.
What's the matter? You seem so down.
Jung Ho got another call from the police and went to the precinct.
- The police called him? - Yes.
I hope we can find Min Woo's body soon.
We'll have to keep frequenting the precinct until that happens.
You still haven't given up on finding his body?
No. Without it, we can't hold a funeral for him.
I mean, he is Da Eun's dad.
He got Hee Ae completely fooled. He's obviously so alive.
I feel so bad for her.
I can't even imagine how shocked she'll be when she finds out.
My gosh!
- Gosh. - Oh, no.
- Ouch... - My goodness.
Gosh, are you okay? Are you hurt?
I'm fine, Mother. I just sprained my foot a little.
What are you talking about?
You almost fell.
Get up. Let me take you to a hospital.
Hospital?
That's right. Geum Soon, call her doctor...
and explain what happened.
- Right now? - Yes.
Oh, right. I guess we can only take her to the emergency room now.
Goodness. Mum, please.
We don't need to take her to the emergency room at this hour.
You're so clueless.
You must be very cautious during the first trimester.
Choon Ja. Go put on a coat, okay?
I'm okay, Mother.
I'm really fine.
Help me, guys.
Ms Park!
You startled me.
Lower your voice, will you? You'll startle the baby.
Ms Park, it's... What was I going to say?
Oh, right. What do you think of Saudi Park?
What? Saudi Park?
Are you talking about Mr Park who used to live in Saudi Arabia?
Yes! Don't you think you should start thinking about your future?
You shouldn't have to look after Han Soo and Choon Ja forever,
don't you think?
I don't want to see you living alone and lonely like this.
What? What are you saying, Chil Bong?
How dare you try to set my mum up with a random guy?
Mum, you tell me. Is there something going on between you and him?
What are you talking about? Nothing is going on.
Gosh, don't lie. The other day,
you saw him carrying a huge bale at the market...
and got all giggly. I saw everything.
You also said, "All men should be strong like him." Remember?
Did I?
- When? - That's right.
I heard that, too.
My gosh, it sounds like you got all smitten by him.
He must be a very handsome man.
Mum, I need to know.
You have to tell me. Is it true?
Well... Did I...
mention something like that in passing?
Come on. Am I not even allowed to make such a remark?
No, that's not true.
It wasn't just a remark. You sounded very serious.
- That's not true at all. - Mum.
- I feel so betrayed! - Oh, no.
Dad, what should I do about this?
Gosh, Han Soo. It's not true at all. I'm serious.
Do you not believe me?
All right.
Fine. Let's eat.
Gosh, I'm so forgetful. Choon Ja, let's go...
Oh, where did she go?
We were talking for a while, so Geum Soon took her to the hospital.
Really? I should go, too.
I'm getting so mad! Did you say he goes by the name of Saudi Park?
- Yes, Saudi... - Saudi Park?
- Saudi. - Gosh.
Why are you being like this? Nothing is going on.
Nothing is going on, okay? Just believe me.
Are we good now?
- We should eat. - Yes, eat up.
- Eat. - I don't like that name.
- Nothing is going on. - You like Saudi Park.
- We're home. - Hello, Father.
What did the police say?
Did they find his body?
Not yet.
They're still looking for it.
It happened so long ago. I can't believe they still haven't fount it.
By any chance, did you tell them not to bother looking for the body?
Hee Ae.
They're investigating the case with various possibilities in mind.
They'll be in touch with us if there's any progress.
Possibilities? What kind of possibilities?
Why does finding a dead body have to be so difficult?
Enough.
I don't want any more fights about that scum under my roof.
We should hold a funeral for him no matter how much we despise him.
Only then, we'll have nothing hanging. It'll give us closure.
- Hee Ae. - Don't be so harsh on her.
I understand how she feels.
We all despise him,
but he's still Da Eun's dad.
What are you talking about?
Honey.
Don't even bring up his name in front of me.
Honey. Gosh.
Things are still so tense. If Father and Hee Ae find out...
that someone saw Min Woo that day,
they will both be extremely confused.
I know.
We also can't be certain...
- about what the witness said. - But...
I'm feeling anxious for some reason.
I also saw someone who looks like Min Woo earlier today, you know.
What if...
he's actually alive?
No way.
You witnessed everything wthat happened on the bridge that day.
Let's...
Let's wait just a little more.
(Baekdu Films)
Detective, I'm calling to speak to you about the witness you mentioned.
Would I be able to meet the witness in person?
There's something I'd like to check.
Yes. Thank you in advance.
For the place where the two main characters meet for the first time,
we should forgo the atelier and find a spot that's more open.
They could meet at the male protagonist's exhibition.
I see. I'll think about it.
That's all you've been saying during this whole meeting.
I just want to think carefully before making any decision.
Is that so?
Oh, right. We've decided to sign Han Jin Gyu...
for the male lead role, Joo Won, as we discussed the other day.
Well, actually... I think...
- that Kang Sung Il will be better. - Pardon me?
Why the sudden change of heart?
We only finalised the decision because you okayed it.
I'm having second thoughts.
I don't think he's right for the character.
Kang Sung Il is an excellent actor.
But from what I know, his schedule is currently booked back to back.
I also think that he comes across a little too cold for the character.
I'll look for someone else if you don't love Han Jin Gyu for the role.
I'm not sure who else will be able to pull it off.
Please try to cast Kang Sung Il for the role.
A competent producer should be able to persuade...
and cast such busy actors.
It has to be Kang Sung Il.
All right. I'll look into it, then.
We also need to finalise casting decisions for other roles.
Let me know what you think.
- Right now? - Yes.
Tell me if there are any issues or things that you disagree with.
(Casting List for "Snowflakes")
Well, please give me some time to go through this.
How much time do you need?
One hour?
Two hours?
There's something...
odd about Mr Oh.
Odd? What do you mean?
He keeps changing his words about casting decisions and so on.
He can't seem to make any decisions,
and he keeps hesitating and putting things off. It's as if...
someone is giving him instructions behind the scenes.
Are you saying you think Mr Oh is under someone's control?
Yes. To be honest,
he's almost acting like someone's puppet.
Are you suspecting that Min Woo could be behind him?
I know that it sounds absolutely crazy.
But what the police told us keeps ringing in my ears,
and I'm also bothered by the fact that I saw a guy who looks like him.
I understand. To tell you the truth, hearing about the witness...
who saw a man that looks like him is still bothering me.
I actually want to look into it.
You've been thinking about that, too.
We should at least find out whether it's true or not.
It'd be much better than living with this anxiety.
I should keep a watchful eye on Mr Oh.
In Kyung, we don't know anything for certain yet.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves and worry for nothing.
You know what I mean, right?
Yes. I'll take your advice.
(Authorised Personnel Only)
There's something suspicious about this office.
Why is Mr Oh walking in and out of this office so often?
And why is Chairman Lee telling us not to go anywhere near here?
You're right. Did he hide some kind of treasures here?
It's strange.
It seems so suspicious.
I know that something is happening in there.
She asked you to decide right away?
I'll leave now, then. I'll see you there.
What are you guys doing here?
- Hello, Sir. - Hello, Sir.
I'm pretty sure I told you guys not to show up here before I call you.
Are you both deaf? Shall I talk some sense into you?
This... This office.
Who's in there?
You're cooking up some big scheme behind our backs, aren't you?
Please count us in, too.
We'll do a good job, Sir.
Goodness. Are you curious?
- Very much so. - Me, too.
Get lost.
Leave! Or shall I make you want to leave?
No, no. We were just about to leave. We're going now.
Gosh, what a nasty temper.
What? What did you just say?
That moron.
Goodness.
Those two concern me.
Don't be concerned. They're just idiots.
- Are you heading out? - Yes.
Mr Oh wants to speak with me urgently.
People might become suspicious,
so I should tell him not to come here for the next little while.
I agree.
Where are you meeting him? I'll wrap up and head over there.
Sure, I'll see you soon.
(Baekdu Films)
Gosh, why does Kang In Kyung want me to make...
all the decisions now?
Even just reporting to him will take forever.
(Criminal Affairs Department)
The witness is saying that the man who came out of the river...
is the guy in the identification card. What should we do?
The witness could be mistaken, though.
The witness' memory is too accurate and vivid...
for it to have been someone else and not Min Woo.
If that man was really Min Woo...
(Name: Cha Min Woo)
What...
What is going on?
No way...
That can't be.
It is Min Woo.
Min Woo...
He's alive.
No way.
How on earth can he be alive?
I clearly saw him jumping off the bridge.
He even left a will.
Then...
Does that mean he schemed all of this?
He fooled all of us?
I guess Chairman Lee is running l ate.
I'll update him on everything.
Please go back to Baekdu Films and do exactly as I told you to do.
I will. I'll give you a call later.
Why are you out here? Is the meeting already over?
Yes. It looks like In Kyung summoned Mr Oh urgently...
to discuss casting decisions.
I made the decisions and told him to...
Does this mean...
Chairman Lee is helping Min Woo?
My goodness.
How can something like this happen?
