Episode 5
It's hot today with a high of 90 degrees
If someone you love is with you
You should tell them how much you care
I don't think the heat should matter for that
This is Jin Sun-mi reporting
This is Huh Young-mi of the 9 o'clock news
Because of high air pressure
Today's temperature will reach 86 degrees
Today would be a great time to wash your car
or do your laundry
You're probably listening to this as your husband is heading off to work
Why don't you tell him that you love him?
Honey! I love you!
I love you too!
Daddy!
What's your name?
Miss Reporter, you are absolutely gorgeous
Daddy!
OK OK. This time's for real
All right, tell me the truth
Ok
When do you plan to remarry?
What?
I won't speak in clichés
or in any uncertain terms
Only concise and straightforward
Next question?
I told you two not to fight. Get along
But I'm prettier!
The first test will be to answer these prepared questions
The question topics range from social issues
weather forecasts, sports
main news headlines, and entertainment or radio programs
We plan to pick 6 people to advance
You all know that the people chosen as MCs will get scholarships, right?
Yes, Ma'am!
Then I'll introduce the judges
Professor! Miss Yoo! Please come out
I love you!
Quiet down
I hope you all pick good questions
We'll see who was destined to come to college
Then let's get started
Hello
I am Nah In-Kyung, Social Issues MC
I'll repeat the news of February 20th 1990
Footage of an airplane crash was aired yesterday
But it turns out that terrorists took the footage from
a movie to threaten the government
Hey friends!
Today, I'm going to tell you something funny
Once upon a time, Tumbled, Grumbled and Scrambled lived together
These three brothers tripped over some rocks when they went on a vacation
So Tumbled tumbled, Grumbled grumbled, and Scrambled scrambled
Would you please give the news in a kid's voice?
Kid's voice?
I will tell you the news for today
Wait
I asked if you would tell the news as a kid would say it
Kid?
I will tell you the news for today
OK, you can stop
I did my best to be like a kid
How much closer can I get to sounding like one?
My mouth hurts like crazy
And now the one person you've been waiting for
Let me introduce, Miss Yoo Joo-hee
Miss Joo-hee, there aren't any paparazzi here. You can relax
I remember something you said...
''You have to be in the right place when you're needed'', right?
Everyone, where is her place?
One two three!
Every man in Korea is falling
in love with you since you're an announcer
But I'm curious about your type
You're wondering what type of man I like?
My type is...
Well, I don't have to look very far
Mr. Shin Dong-Jon would be just fine
That's a bit of a letdown
As I understand it, marriage is...
an obstacle for an anchorwoman
So when do you plan to get married?
I'm not sure
If I have to give up being an announcer to get married
then I won't get married
Wow!
This concludes the interview with the wonderful Yoo Joo-hee
Thank you!
Huh Young-mi
Yes
Imagine what your most glorious moment will be as an anchorwoman
Hey, she's trembling
She must be really nervous
She used to act so arrogant too
The Pulitzer Prize was created by Joseph Pulitzer
to recognize true reporters
True reporters are those who have endured years
of professional reporting under the spirit of seeking the truth
I've come this far seeking that truth
It is an honor for me as a reporter to receive this prize
What's a Pulitzer?
Thank you
We've been the judges up to now
But the second round will be judged by the student body
This is the first time we're doing this for an exam
But it's important that an anchor appeals to the public
Mass media can't be separate from the public
Do you all understand?
Yes
We will give you one topic
and one hour to think about it
Just do what you think is right
And present in front of the whole school
The topic is...
(The Autumn of a Freshman)
Quit fooling around
I failed because of you!
Hey Cho-jeh! Got any ideas?
Why you little...
You're asking me now?
Let's see now. Autumn
It's the season of harvests
They say you gain weight in the Autumn
It's the season of appetites and harvests
Free time! You know, Thanksgiving!
At Thanksgiving there's so much to eat
Anything else? Just eating?
The full moon!
That's good right?
Thinking of the moon makes me want to eat a snack
I'll go buy one
Hey hey! Cho-jeh!
What is it?
Are you giving up?
Don't quit. You have to stick with it
I tried so hard on a midterm
but I got a D
I was so devastated, that I cried
When I think about it my heart still pounds
This stuff is delicious
You're not even a friend today
Cho-jeh! That's it!
You're my best friend!
Just because I said this was good?
Why are you guys late?
Sit down
We're sorry
Yung-Ran and Sun-mi haven't come back yet, right?
Sun-mi, I got it!
Thanks! Good luck!
You're early, huh?
Sit down
But one person hasn't come back yet
We don't need her
The most important things at a station are truth, integrity, accuracy
and being on time
- It's time. Get ready - Yes
Thank you for participating
We'd like you to vote in the Students' Hall
It's autumn now
You're all probably reading a book
I'm reading ''Invited Woman'' by Simone de Beauvoir
One two three!
Geez, she's so stuck up Isn't it that girl?
The one who walks with her nose in the air
I heard she acts like a queen in her mass media class
Queen? Only if she were lucky
I want you all to have a good love in this beautiful autumn
I chose a chanson for you White Lovers
I'm dying to have a boyfriend
Is she trying to rub it in?
You guys are dead now Let's do it again!
Sun-mi!
Yes!
Go inside
It's your turn next
Good luck
The first time I took my midterms in college
I didn't really worry too much
It wasn't like high school where they posted up the scores
So I just skimmed the material and took them
But 5 minutes into them
I realized that was a big mistake
Specifically in the Writing section The Writing section
I knew it'd be that!
She's so funny
She's right!
English Professors are you listening?
Down with English Writing! It stinks!
You said that if we went overseas we wouldn't have to study
As I look at my grades from last semester, this song comes to mind
It shows how I did:
''Under the Sea''
If it's under the ''C'', is she talking about a ''D'' or ''F''?
She's really funny
It's Jin Sun-mi, right?
I'm not sure I only remember my grades
What should I do?
Sun-mi! You did it!
Really?
Yeah. They all loved it!
They all say it happened to them too
That just reflects their standards
She means they have high standards, right?
This doesn't make any sense!
I heard your broadcast
But you were too academic
How do you expect to appeal to other students that way?
Still, how did Sun-mi do it then?
You call that a broadcast? That's just gossip at a salon
The media should educate people
I know what you're saying
But media cannot exist without support
You have to match interests at some level
Wait!
Excuse me!
Who's this?
Congratulations Jin Sun-mi
I see you're still good at your cute tricks
Do you still think it's because you're unlucky?
Don't brag because you were chosen as an MC for this worthless show
Then how about the person who didn't get it?
You're always like that
You only think about yourself
Nobody could relate to you during your broadcast
You blame it on being unlucky You're a coward
You entertained everyone by using your cute ''C'' grade routine
Aren't you embarrassed?
That's not embarrassing
And I wasn't flirting either
You're so shameless
I get it. That's why Woo-jin didn't want you
no matter how much you hung onto him
What?
Yeah. I hung onto him
I could have done even more for him
You're the one who won Woo-jin over
By making him pity your situation and your tears
That's more embarrassing
Woo-jin has fallen for you
I know him best
He pities you
It's not love. It's pity
My dad, Woo-jin, Jun-Mo everyone pities you
Hey! Sun-mi!
Congratulations!
You surprised me!
Congrats!
Sun-mi, you are so cute
I didn't know you had those talents
Hey hey
Leave her alone
You'll wear her down
I'll wear you down
Hey Sun-mi!
You too!
Ouch
Hey, can you get me tickets to the station?
Just 2
I'll think about it
Where's Woo-jin?
He said he'd be late since he has to meet someone
Really?
It's raining a lot out there
What were you doing?
What's the occasion?
Surprise!
That's not all
Man, this is like a buffet
Can you just leave me alone today?
I have to get ready for work
Young-mi. Cheer up
It's OK if you don't become a TV MC
Let's go get some air
Don't pity me!
It's disgusting to pity someone
Don't pity me
I knew you'd come
Sun-mi told me that you pity me
So I knew you'd come
But what should I do?
I'm so used to this sort of thing
I've never been able to have anything I wanted
All the good and warm things in the world, I could never have them
And now I really hate it when people pity...
Let go! Let go! Let go!
I hate this
Thanks
Eat up
Why hasn't Woo-jin come yet?
He must've gotten lost
He never knows what time it is
Once I asked him to meet at the workshop
But he forgot about it
He went to eat ice-cream
Dear Hyung-chul, my London friend
I'm trying to live with the courage you gave me
Of course, I still haven't gotten my love
But I haven't lost my spirits
I'm still too young to decide on love
I'm now the MC of the school media outlet
I was chosen from many applicants. Yeah for me!
Since I beat my ''life savior'' after a tough competition
It's been a big inspiration
If you were in Seoul I'd invite you on my show
Move the light up higher
- OK? - OK
Sorry, I'm late, huh?
No, I just got here too
Let's work things out
Should we go over it once?
Yeah
We will now begin the 46th Festival Show on tradition and amusement
First, we will introduce our special guest
announcer Yoo Joo-hee an alumnus of our school
You're speaking too fast
Slow down a bit
Is someone chasing you?
My legs are trembling
What should I do?
Who's bag is this?
It's mine
I'll move it backstage
Thank you
I'll try again
First, as our special guest...
Let me show you
First, we will introduce our special guest
announcer Yoo Joo-hee an alumnus of our school
Hey, what are you doing?
I'll give it a shot
Is this side level?
Or maybe this side?
No, this side?
Hey!
I'm not finished yet!
Hey!
Are you going to take the blame when the station yells at me?
Since it's not my face it's not working well
Your face is too bumpy
I should just do my own face
Oww, that stings!
What's the matter? What's going on?
Oh my goodness!
What's the matter with you?
Don't touch! Stay still
It stings!
You said it's acetone?
Why would there be acetone in this?
What in the world?
I thought you were tough but your skin is also tough as steel
Did you always put acetone on your face instead of toner?
It hurts
Someone probably put it in without knowing
You should be careful
Acetone is very strong
That's crazy I'm sure I didn't put it in there
I just put it in my bag
Who's bag is this?
Hey! Where are you going?
It's you isn't it?
You put acetone in my make-up, didn't you?
It's you, isn't it?
You're the only one
It was you! I feel so bad
My face was supposed to be ruined, not somebody else's
Do you have any proof that I did it?
Do you have any proof?
What the heck is going on?
Stop it! Stop it, Sun-mi!
What are you doing?
Woo-jin!
Young-mi, are you all right?
What?
This isn't my fault
She put acetone in my makeup
Cho-jeh tried my make-up and now her face is a mess
Did you see it?
Woo-jin
Did you see it?
How can you say that when you didn't see it?
You just don't know
I'm sure she's doing this because I got the MC position
Young-mi
What are you doing?
Don't stop me. I'm leaving
Even if I have to live on the streets
I don't want to live like this Young-mi!
Regardless of my past, how could I put acetone in your makeup?
I'm not that type of girl
Woo-jin, I'm not that type of girl
Apologize
Woo-jin!
Apologize!
Sun-mi! Sun-mi!
Woo-jin, you can't believe me?
You really can't believe me?
Answer me!
Am I lying right now?
Am I a liar?
Let's stop this
No matter how much you like Young-mi
I'm Sun-mi
I'm not some stranger. I'm Sun-mi
How could you do this to me?
You know me
You know what kind of person I am
You know how I feel about you
- Sun-mi - No
Sun-mi
That was ''Big Heat'' by Moon Child
I think they just keep getting hotter, isn't that right everyone?
We can't leave them without showing some love
so let's give them a big hand
We love them so much that
we should hear one more song ''Full of Sun''
Good job
I thought I was gonna die
You can't die
You have to do better in the second part
I couldn't see anything
I knew my dad came but I couldn't find him
A car accident? What?
Is he hurt? That's why he's not here yet
Is he injured? Is mother all right?
That's a relief that it was only some scratches
Yeah, please hurry
The first part just ended
You haven't seen Sun-mi yet so please hurry
Bye
- They're not seriously injured? - Yeah
Scratches? They'll have a few bruises
Here you were
Sun-mi's great, isn't she?
But why haven't Mr. Jin and Ms. Song arrived yet?
They went to the hospital
Mr. Jin was injured in an accident
What?
Oh my goodness
Young-mi, that's...
Taxi!
Sir, please hurry to the hospital emergency room
Yes
Sir, please hurry
OK
The hospital emergency room please
Yes
What should we do?
I can't do the second part alone
I'm not sure
Let's think about it
Huh Young-mi
Yes?
That's not Sun-mi
How did Young-mi get there?
I will be your host for the second part, Huh Young-mi
The host of the first part Jin Sun-mi, had a sudden accident
so I will take over from here
Accident?
You guys!
Huh Young-mi, it's time for the highlights, right?
Yes, I'm getting nervous just waiting to introduce this next guest
This guest... This guest is someone we all love
Joo Yung-hoon
Hello, hello
That was my line
In Sun-mi's script she marked it as hers
What? She did?
Where are you sitting?
- Have you seen Sun-mi? - No
Sun-mi heard you were in an accident and went to the hospital
The host has changed
What are you talking about?
Hello?
Dad?
Is it really you?
Are you OK?
I'm so glad
Dad, where are you?
I'm sorry. Young-mi said she misunderstood
Come back here quickly
All right
- Good job - Good job
- Thank you - Congratulations
You didn't bring the camera?
We should take a picture
So Young-mi saved the day
- I'll go change - You were fantastic
No need to change. Let's just go
Sun-mi You came
Sun-mi, how far did you go?
I'm really sorry
So did you end up hosting the second part?
I'm sorry
I scared you didn't I?
Sun-mi!
What are you doing?
You're too evil
Way too evil
I'm sorry
Whatever the reason is, I'm sorry
You know my father means everything to me
How could you lie to me How could you play such a joke?
Sun-mi
You're so scary
Girls like you are really scary!
Is being a host really that important to you?
You'd go this far for it?
I'm sorry
There's nothing I can say to show you how sorry I am
But I wasn't thinking straight either
It wasn't a lie. I didn't make it up
How could I make something up about your father?
No. I can't believe that
I know you
Though no one else knows, I do
It's the scholarship certificate
You can register with it Give it to Sun-mi
I wanted to give it to her earlier
But I was too upset then
Give it to her yourself
It looks like Sun-mi's misunderstanding you
I really want you and Sun-mi to get along
But why is that so hard?
Give her a break
Give Sun-mi a break
You know how hard it is for me to get money for tuition
Yeah. I wanted to be an MC just to get the tuition
But...
No matter the reason, I lost to Sun-mi in the competition
No matter how much I need it I know that I lost
At school, I was supposed to split this with the others but I turned them down
But...
I'm sorry
The truth is, I doubted you for a moment
It's OK
I'd be suspicious too if I were you
In the end, I'm happy things turned out this way
I was happy that the two of you got along so well
What's going on?
Dad, you don't know
What don't I know?
You have no idea how scared I was
I thought my world was crashing down
Well, everything's OK. I'm fine
Well that's true
But I knew Young-mi would do this
That again
Nobody knows
You don't know either You're all idiots
You didn't go yet?
There's something I want to say to Sun-mi
Really?
Ms. Song
Do you not believe me either?
Is that it?
I believe you
I don't like her
She's not honest
Would she tell you something like that
about your father without confirming first?
Also, it's too much of a coincidence that
she conveniently took over your hosting job
Sun-mi
I don't know
Since you understand me I feel like crying
No one else believes what I say
Why did your father have to bring a strange girl along
to cause so much trouble?
That's the day after tomorrow
What's the day after tomorrow?
It's nothing
I'm really uptight about people touching my things
All right, I'm sorry
Umm, Young-mi
Yeah?
Your tuition fees
If I paid for them wouldn't things work out?
It's not my mom's money either
I earned every penny
Why are you being so good to me?
I'm not the type who is thankful to other people
If you're so good to me I might use you
Young-mi
If you had no reason to use me
I'd be sad
Dummy
What are you doing the day after tomorrow?
The weather's really nice
Did you call me to talk about the weather?
There's a lot to talk about so let's not argue
I'm worried you'll get sick
Huh Young-mi
Tell me honestly
The acetone and the thing with my dad. You did it, right?
Why did you do it?
Why is being an MC so important to you?
Is it because of the scholarship? Is it because of money?
That's always your excuse, isn't it?
About the scholarship certificate...
It should be in your name
This is what you get for insulting me
How do you feel about getting revenge with a smile?
Did you think you were the only nice one?
You...
Oh yeah
One more thing
You probably want to give this money back to me
But just hold onto it this time
Woo-jin's paying for my tuition
He begged me to let him pay
Date? With whom?
I'm just going to see a movie with a friend
With Young-mi? You're seeing her, aren't you?
Mom!
You can't! Don't do it
Mom, why are you doing this to her?
If I tell you not to go out then don't go out!
I'll be back
Let me make myself clear
When you're done with work come to the store
I already promised her
I know, but I won't allow it
I'm not telling you to meet her
You're my son, and I don't like her
Woo-jin?
What's going on?
It's your mom, isn't it?
You can't come because of your mom, right?
No, I'm going to wait
I'm gonna wait!
Thank you
Good bye
Yeah. I didn't let Woo-jin go out
But why?
Please let us see each other
I like Woo-jin...
We like each other
Do you hate me that much?
I'm not such a bad girl
I'll be good. If I set my mind to it I can be good at anything
I won't disappoint you
If you want me to kneel, I will
No no, you don't have to kneel
Let me ask you
During the show, didn't you really intentionally do that?
Women can sense things in other women
You probably know that too
This is something only women know
Don't forget this
Mr. Jin is a good person, but naive
I know that he thinks highly of you
However... I have a different feeling about you
When I look at you, I can smell weeds that grew without any sunlight
The stench is terrible But you're pretty
Men can't see it, but a woman can
That's right, I stink
But what should I do?
Your precious son has fallen for me
Are you threatening me?
Yes, I'm threatening you
If I turn him down Woo-jin may run out on you
If he wants us to be together, we can live...
Not my Woo-jin!
You can't have him! Don't go near him!
Don't come near
Mom!
Woo-jin!
Let go!
What? You think you can convince your mom?
I see it's going well
You can't even keep your promises so how can you persuade her?
I didn't know you would make things this difficult for me
I'm sorry
I couldn't do anything today
My mom was too stubborn
I'm sorry
I don't know what to say
Since the day I was born
this is the first time I've been this distressed
I'm sorry
I don't know why my mom is like this to you
She thinks I'm a witch who grew up in the slums
You didn't know?
She said that to me
My goodness
Did I drive my mom out of the house?
Did I ask for my dad to die?
Did your mom pray for your dad to die?
You can't help me
Did I want to be an orphan? Why is she doing this to me?
All I can say is that I'm sorry
I want to die
I wish I could just die
Young-mi
It's so hard for me to live like this
When I see you
it makes me hate myself even more
I'm sorry if I hurt you
Woo-jin, are you all right?
Are you OK?
- Young-mi - Yeah? It's me
Woo-jin!
