All About Eve
Episode 7
I'm your training director What's your name?
- Kim Sun-dal - Good
Lee Kyung-hui, class 21
Pleased to meet you
I'm in charge of the radio and cooking programs
Delighted to meet you all
I'm Shin Ki-jong, class 21
Pleased to meet you
Yoo Joo-hee, class 24
Pleased to meet you
The morning meeting starts at 9 am
So most people get here by 8:30 am
I get here at 8 am
And the day ends at 5 pm
But we often run longer than 5 pm
And this is your announcer team 1 office
After training, 3 of you will move on to the announcer team 2 office
Let's do a good job guys
This is the editing room
This is for the news and for dramas
That's what they're doing now
These people are responsible for how you look
Be nice to them because they can make you look bad
Please say hello
Pleased to meet you
Don't they look eager and ready to go?
Good luck on your training
Should we go to the dubbing room?
Yoon Hyung-chul
Yes, this is Yoon Hyung-chul
John?
It's you?
How are you? It's been a long time, huh?
I need some samples of children's learning programs from BBC
Yeah
Would you send me some tapes?
OK, thanks
Sorry, I'll call you again
Yeah, thank you, bye bye
I was asking a friend in London
to send me children's programs from BBC
I really like other countries' children's educational programs
Those guys make them really well
You want to import them?
Director Kim will oppose it
He produces all the current children's programs
That's why I'm stirring things up
And the programs they offer aren't getting good audience ratings
Even kids are sick of them
Kids can't stay focused for more than 15 minutes
They need flashing lights
I thought you didn't care about that
But you actually studied everything
But why'd you come all the way to my office?
Just felt like it
Your father met mine recently
Really?
That always happens at this time of year
This time, your father is making a move against me
He says I don't have any skills
He says I can't even get a guy to fall for me
He really ripped me apart
Watch your language
I could fire you now
So now you're holding the match, huh?
Fire me. Try it I really will
Do it
Hyung-chul
Could we just...
Sun-dal looked pretty busy
He's training the newcomers
How are the new announcers?
Why? Do you know one of them?
How would I? Nope
Hey, Coco, where do we go this time?
Chickens know where to go
But why?
Why is it squawking like that?
I'm not sure
It's been doing that for a while
What does it matter?
Let's just go where the chicken tells us
When we get there we'll figure out what's going on
The fate of the world is in our hands
Stop right there!
Stop!
Honey, you're so funny
Hey, what's this...
I'm sorry
Cho-jeh, there's no water in here
I keep getting stuck here
Hey!
Sun-mi!
I told you I'd be here before you guys
You got in as a voice actress?
Hey, why did I fail the announcer exam?
I failed because my voice wasn't good enough
I just wanted to prove I didn't fail because of inability
See, I passed the voice acting test
In 3 years, I'll be a freelancer
When I'm rich you two will just be salary women
Our cute little Cho-jeh You're such a Korean
Of course
Hey, I'm laughing right now...
But when the two of you passed and I failed
do you know how I felt?
You must've been torn apart
Exactly!
I was holding that torn heart
And wondering if I should retake the exam
But then my cousin called to tell me that
I should take the voice acting exam
Idiot. But why didn't you call me?
I have pride
And I knew you'd come like this too
- In any case, I'm so happy - Me too
Hey, that's him, Joon Kwang-Ryul
What's wrong with you?
Hold on, I'm just gonna say hi
Hey hey!
I'm pleased to meet you
Oh hello
I really enjoy your TV drama
You make a very noble and charming doctor
Thank you
Could you umm... Give me your autograph?
Here's a pen, but the paper...
Please sign on my forehead
or on the palm of my hand
These days, when I eat my stomach feels a little funny
Do you know what's wrong?
Oh really?
I'll have to examine you
It's just menstrual cramps
He's amazing
He figured it out
Thousands of people have gathered for the national singing talent show
Sun-mi, try it
Thousands of people have gathered for the national singing talent show
It's not a short ''thousands''
Extend it a bit. It's a long vowel
Young-mi, try it
Thousands of people have gathered for the national singing talent show
You're holding ''national'' too long
Make it shorter
If it's long, it seems serious like you're talking about a war, got it?
Also, you guys are all making nasal sounds
Never do that. We're not in a bar
Make the sounds come from your abdomen
It was a really rough day
What are you all doing tonight?
I feel like my mouth is cramping from all that training we just had
Do you guys want to go eat out somewhere?
How about some chicken and soju?
Make it beer. Nice cold beer
Quiet, quiet
Why are you always saying that your mouth is cramping?
I'm fine
Are you really?
Yeah, I am
To be quite honest, I like this so I applied to be an announcer
My mom always scolded me for talking too much at home
Even my girlfriend was mad at me for talking too much
I guess I've reached my limit
If I was ordered to do the 9 o'clock news right now
I can do it. Wanna see?
I will now deliver the 9 o'clock news
For our first headline
A truly unfortunate event occurred
in the middle of downtown Seoul
A drunk man around 40 years old
is in critical condition after being bitten by more than 10 dogs
This was Choi Jin-soo for MBS news
Wasn't that great?
Aren't you all hungry?
I'm hungry
Do you know the menu? Today's menu?
Young-mi
Let's go
I said let's go!
We agreed that we'd pretend we didn't know each other at work
Why did you pull up when everyone was leaving?
It was the first time today
But still
I don't want rumors to spread about us
I'm sorry. I'll be careful from now on
You're not mad, right?
You aren't, right?
Woo-jin, what should we go eat?
Do you want to grab some beef?
That one restaurant was pretty good
You're staying for coffee, right?
Don't worry about it
You must be tired so go get some rest
Are you OK?
Are you upset that I was mad at you this afternoon?
If rumors spread about the two of us
it'll be uncomfortable for me It won't be easy for you either
No, I'm fine
I can't understand you
At first, I thought I could
But today was too much
I keep wondering if you really love me
You're just like everybody else
You know that's not what I mean
No, you're all the same!
You're right. I'm greedy
I can't be satisfied with just passing the announcer exam
I want to go higher and achieve greater things
I want everyone to wish they could be me
Did you just figure that out about me?!
It's not like that. You know I didn't mean that!
I just get angry when you're not being honest
I feel like I'm a secret boyfriend and I hate that
You gotta face the consequences of getting married
I'm not good at pretending that I don't know you
I just can't do it
Woo-jin
Get some rest. We'll talk later
Take a shower before going to bed
I will
Did something happen today?
Did you fight with Young-mi?
It's not like that
It isn't? It's written all over your face
It's because you've been dating for so long
You have a job now so hurry and get married
You have to bring a girl home
when you've caught her heart so she'll become your girl
You say stuff like that too?
I've raised you this far
So now I want a daughter-in-law to cook for me
You want me to take care of myself for the rest of my life?
Young-mi just got a job
It's still too early for marriage
Please give her a break
You know
She's been really arrogant. Now that she has some prestige as an announcer
she's not bothering you, is she?
She's not
Don't worry
Stop lying to me
She's that type of person
Drink this
Sleep well
Wash up before sleeping
Yes
All right. Did you all have a good lunch?
Yes!
Announcers aren't born They're made
Wise words
OK, as you guys watch this program
Come up with your own script
Ready. Begin!
OK, stop what you're doing
Shall we read what you came up with?
The girls will probably know less about this than the guys
- Oh, Choi Jin-soo - Yes
Read what you wrote
DG is 1 point behind the Dragons This is the final round for DG
Number 3, runners on 2nd and 3rd base
Gosh! They have scary eyes. They look like wild coyotes hunting for food
Woo, scary. Long fly ball
Wow! That was great. DG scores and the crowd goes wild
Of course, I knew the Dragons would be swamped
- After hearing the score, they... - Hey hey
You're a DG fan, aren't you?
How did you know?
Every year there's an idiot like you
This is driving me crazy
Hey, if an announcer isn't impartial, he's dead
Repeat after me
I really hate DG!
I said, repeat after me!
I'm sorry. Once a fan, always a fan!
You wanna die?
All right now. Have a drink
It's so hard, isn't it?
I'm fine
It's what I wanted to do anyway
Yeah, women need to have work they enjoy too
- Drink - OK
It looks like you're supporting me so I feel really good right now
Does it?
Oh yeah, why did you call me?
I prepared some great cucumbers
So I wanted to give you some
But I still have a lot left
Still?
But that's from so long ago
Stop dieting and eat something
OK
But umm... Did you two fight?
These days, Woo-jin's face is so gloomy
Is it a marriage issue?
Don't worry about it
After you get married you can still work
I'll let you do whatever you want
Men can only relax after they get married
In any case, Woo-jin has to succeed so that...
No
To me, it's more important that I succeed
What did you say?
Men can relax after they get married
But women can't
For a woman, there's more bad points to getting married than good points
Did you say that to Woo-jin?
Yes
- But still, Young-mi - Mother
Woo-jin isn't a kid anymore, right?
What's that supposed to mean?
It won't be easy for me if you keep interfering
with our fights like this
Being a working woman is hard as it is
So please don't do this
No matter how much he means to you as the only son of a widow
So why did you interfere in their fight?
Interfere? Why did I?
My son was bothered so I got involved
Do you think it's because I wanted to?
He's fallen for her so much that he'll say yes to anything she wants
You see. Geez, I'm letting her do everything
After getting married you can still work
I'll let you do whatever you want
What? A widow's only son?
Yeah! I'm a widow!
And I still raised a son
Some women just throw their children away
There there. Let me pour you some more
Take a long drink. Drink
You don't know
A widower and a widow seem the same but they aren't
They're as different as heaven and earth
Everyone has hardships to deal with
As Woo-jin and Young-mi hit it off
It hurt me to see Sun-mi so depressed
But what can I do?
Everyone has different feelings
Yeah, so why did you drag her along?
What good is it to say that now?
Just take it easy and accept her
I'm going crazy trying to do that
I'm home
You came over sir?
Yeah, your mom had a drink today
I hate you
Take a glass sir
Me? All right
Boy, I thought you'd take Sun-mi
Mom, take a glass as well
It's OK
Take one
I hope you have a son just like yourself
Oh brother
Bottoms up
We have some heartwarming news today
One senior citizen couple has been taken in
by an abandoned neighbor for over 10 years
This is Kim Jin-sook reporting
Good. It's all good Young-mi
But when you say ''heartwarming news''
don't sound so stiff
Smile a little when you say it, OK?
Yes
Good job
Next, Jin Sun-mi
Yes
We have some heartwarming news today
One senior citizen couple has been taken in
by an abandoned neighbor for over 10 years
This is Kim Jin-sook reporting
Hey, Sun-mi. Is this funny?
What are you laughing about?
Is this news or gossip?
I'll correct this immediately
Don't smile. You'll become emotional
Next
Mine field
Yes, you
Sir, I'm not a mine field
My family name is known for...
Yes, I will begin
You guys
Overall, you don't have energy Is this hard?
Yes
You're already saying it's hard You're all quitters
Is this hard?
No sir!
Good!
I like it!
Let's drink
Slippery. Why so slippery?
We will sing a wonderful song to you all
A song that sets the mood
That's right, a mood song
Are the backup dancers ready?
I'd like it if you were nice to Woo-jin
He's struggled so much to get you here
He must be struggling these days too
Be good to him
And to Ms. Song as well
Since I'm a little drunk I'll be honest
Sometimes there were times when I wanted to give you a hug
Even when I see you throwing tantrums like a kid
I felt sympathetic and wanted to hold you
Jin Sun-mi
You're crossing the line
Stop it
OK, sorry, I'll stop
Go get some rest
- Sir, please go to Su-Seo - Yes
Woo-jin, the editing room
Can I help you?
Let's do a good job
Please have some fruit juice
Thanks
Gosh, you're just too sweet
If this is only for today It's better that you never did it
You're mean
I'll be here again tomorrow
Wait up
Woo-jin
Thanks
You're still not talking to her?
How's work? Is it tough?
The boss is pressuring us
and I have to compete with my friends
This is killing me
It may take some time to get used to it
Don't worry about it you'll do just fine
You were always bright and happy
That's what I like most about you
Thanks, you too
Young-mi looks invincible, but she's not. You know that too, don't you?
You better go
Oh, right, I'm doing time cast today
Time cast?
How's your watch? Is it still working?
It never stops. I love it
OK, I'll listen to your cast. Bye
It will be 4 o'clock in the afternoon
She's gulping on the mike
Don't ever gulp on the mike
One more thing, you can't guarantee
that the previous program finishes on time
You always need extra comments for the spare time. Got it?
Yes
Who'll be tomorrow's time casters?
I will keep an eye on you
OK, we will start on the 3-minute speech next week
You all know how important it is, right?
Sometimes the subject is given but most of the time, it's not
So you have to be prepared for both cases, got it?
Yes
I've already made a verbal agreement with BBC
Already?
Why don't we wait for Mr. Kim's project to be finished?
I know you're on his side, but don't make it too obvious at the meeting
I'm sorry
It's not going to be easy but we can do it
Then, who's going to be the PD for this new program?
Who was on the last Mexican children's program?
Lee Jong-yong, PD I will call him
No, you don't have to
He must be working. I'll go myself
Why don't you get a more experienced producer?
Mr. Kim
I want a man with a creative mind
Education should teach how to become a good person
You don't teach how to win your friends
That will only make children selfish...
Sir...
No, you're wrong. Sun-mi, again
Education should teach how to become a good person
You don't teach how to win your friends
That will only make children selfish...
I heard you
OK, 30 minutes more to go then I'll give you some food
Again
MBS News, Jin Sun-mi reports
Miss Jin Sun-mi, please eat this I enjoyed your report
I will keep an eye on you Keep up the good work - Y
I'm here
Sun-mi, you're here
- Did you just get off? - Yes
You did the time cast for 4 pm, right?
You heard it?
It will be 4 o'clock in a minute
You were so good
Really?
My boss didn't like it because I gulped on the mike
Hey, you gulped, but you didn't spit on your mike
You were really good
Thanks
It will be 4 o'clock
Why don't you do it for 5 pm?
When will you be on-board tomorrow?
I won't. Others will do it. Why?
Well, today all the employees at the office listened to your voice
I was so proud of you
I told them you're my daughter
When I'm with you I can't dislike Young-mi
She must envy me so much She must be so jealous
Yeah, you're too nice
I want you to be friends Very good friends
Me too, but I guess we're not meant to be friends
Why?
I have to compete with her for the 3-minute speech too
Every player seems good today
Kang Soo-yul and Lee Jong-sam
Do you know Lee Jong-sam? He's my favorite
Did you know that he was previously an MVP?
Yes
How did you know? Girls don't like baseball
Juvenile prostitution should not be allowed
This will cause, no, bring the whole society's downfall and deterioration
Young and immature juveniles could indulge in earning easy money
Yes, they can make some fast money...
Hey, it's empty here, come in
Sun-mi, are you sure you wrote this?
Wow, you're good
I wanted to win over Young-mi
Hey, this is between us
but I showed it to Sun-dal, the captain
You did?
He said it's really good
Listen
It's never enough when stating the importance of education
This is a peculiar case in Korea...
Hold on, do you have to guard the script with your life?
I don't know what to do with my hands
I get nervous when I don't grab my script
OK, listen carefully
New Message: Please come to the announcer room
My boss paged me I'll be right back
Hey, I'm busy too
It's never enough when stating
the importance of education
Did you page me?
Nope
Did you page me?
No, but I'm glad you came
Can you print this?
Don't forget to check the mistyped words
Oh, and make a copy
What?
Nothing. I will do as you say
Oh, one more thing one cup of coffee too
Coffee with two spoonfuls of sugar
Come on
Why?
If someone overhears you
they'd think you're handicapped
Where are your arms and legs?
I didn't do it
Who did this?
I don't know, I just went to the restroom
Oh my. I'm doomed
I've tried to put them together
Hurry up
It was reported that public transportation fares
will be somewhat...
In someway...
Somewhat increased in the latter quart...
I mean, latter half quarter of this year
Korea is still under IMF supervision. The price is still...
The New N generation
Some take it for granted and some don't
The students who will lead the new century will...
To prevent this crisis the government
has to pass new legislation immediately
It's never enough when stating the importance of education
This is a peculiar case in Korea...
If you're nervous you can look at your script
The thing is.. My script...
No, I'm OK
There's too much competition among students
May I start again?
It's never enough when stating the importance of education
Thanks
Next, Huh Young-mi
Yes
Are you OK?
Go on
Juvenile prostitution should not be allowed
This will bring the whole society's downfall
Young and immature juveniles could indulge in making easy money
Daughters will stop respecting their fathers
And the society will lose its fundamental well-being
Hello?
Sun-mi?
What's the matter?
Nothing
No, I wasn't crying
I'm not a baby
OK, I take it back
What are your plans for tonight?
Let's go some place together
Yeah, I'm not just trying to comfort you since you were crying
No, I will pick you up there
I really want to
It's OK. Have a seat
I saw your project
You did?
It was great. I think you got a good education in England
I agree with you that we don't have many good children's programs
I like your ideas
Thanks for your compliments
No, you inspired me and I do appreciate that
you're showing interest in my project
But the thing is...
I was working on something too
You can't put a stop on it like this
I know you're my nephew but this is business
You know what I'm saying, right?
Of course
So, why don't we have a preview? For both programs?
That sounds good
It looks like we can't settle this with a simple decision
But I don't want to waste money on films
Why don't we just compare their plots, stories and characters?
You're a businessman now
I told you I'm OK
You said you're OK
but your voice said you need me
Let's see
Let's check whether you're really OK
I guess you have plenty of time because you're unemployed, right?
You were going to cry again, right?
Get in
There are so many stars
Hey, take a look at me too
I get jealous of the stars
This is so nice
This is so nice, isn't it?
Love... Friendship...
My favorite person in this world, my dad...
Ms. Song, summer beaches white clouds...
A sky filled with stars cool breeze, cold beer...
And... You
I think all the good things in this world are free. Aren't they?
You have everything, Sun-mi
I think your husband will be really lucky. Who will it be?
He could make you happy without spending anything
You think so too, right?
Maybe I should just get married
Is your job tough?
Well, not really
It's tough because I'm not good at it
I don't know how I passed the test
Right, maybe you have someone who backs you up. What do you think?
I wish I had one
Then I'd tell him that I want to be on the 9 o'clock news
Do you have nothing to do?
No girlfriend yet?
Who said I don't have one?
Actually, I don't know whether I could love a girl
I never felt anything special for anybody
What about me?
You're really nice to me
Oops, no beer I'll get some right now
No, you stay here, I'll get some It's OK. I'm going to drink it anyway
Just a minute
Hello?
Joo-hee?
Where are you now?
With a friend of mine from my London days
A friend?
A girl maybe?
I see. OK
My favorite friend
Friend?
He wants it that way
Nobody's special for him
Maybe I'm on the edge of being special and nobody to him
It feels nice when you have a beer after the news
I envy you
When can I be like you?
Soon, because you're good
Really?
I like you, a woman with ambition
I knew it when I first saw you
Cheers!
I better go
OK
Thanks for everything today
I really had fun
Don't you cry anymore
Not ever, OK?
I said, I wasn't crying
OK, I'll buy that
Go in
A British goodbye
Kim Woo-jin, the reporter, is here
Let him in
