All About Eve
Episode 8
Hello?
Please come in, Mr. Kim
I enjoy your work
Delighted to meet you
Miss Lee. Please give us some tea
Sure
Why did you?
Well umm...
- You're here already? Am I late? - Not at all
Let's talk over lunch
The last episode of your show was really impressive
So I mentioned something about the program
But Sun-dal said that he knows you
He's very good
I didn't do it alone It's all about team work
A cameraman should get many compliments like the director
That's right
In the media, there are so many people behind the scenes
Thank you
I'll take that as a compliment
This is the problem for Koreans
Although I'm his boss, I'm younger so I have to show him respect
That's why sentiments are worthless
Oh yeah. You didn't go to high school here
You went to London
We're not at work We don't have to be polite
I'm loose around Sun-dal as well
I see
Do you really have a girlfriend?
There's someone I want to introduce you to
Can you break up with the girl you're with?
Don't even bring it up. He's whipped over her. He'd never break up
Really?
He looks like he'd be popular with the ladies
Isn't it a waste to be set on one woman already?
Not at all
See? He's whipped
Lay off, Sun-dal
That was good
Did you eat already?
Yeah. You didn't?
- I did - Really?
Yeah, I ate well. Announcer Shin
What's the matter with you?
If you want, I can buy something for you too
Me too
OK, no problem
Looks like Sun-dal went out by himself
Why would he go alone?
He's probably being treated to something expensive
Joo-hee, would you make some coffee?
I'll do it
But I like Joo-hee's coffee
All right. I'll do it
Mine too
- It feels good to be full - Put your feet down!
Let's see each other more often
You're an old school mate and you can give me advice on life
OK
Hello
Have you eaten lunch?
Yes
Mr. Director
Hello, I'm an announcer Huh Young-mi of class 27
You're doing a great job
You know who this is without me telling you
Pleased to meet you
The new director is really young
Woo-jin, are you still not talking to me?
Let's go inside. I have work to do
Woo-jin
You said you wanted to pretend we didn't know each other
What are you doing tonight?
I want to eat dinner together
I have work to do
Then when you're done drop by before going home
How is everyone doing?
This is where the Korean TV Series...
- Cho-jeh, have you eaten yet? - Yes. Have you?
I'm sorry
Before we go any further
let me explain what kind of family I came from
My grandfather chased his neighbor
for 30 years when he stole some food
He finally got it back last year, with interest
My father, when he first went to Seoul and stayed with my mom's family
My mom thought he was a thief so he proposed to her
Hold on
What's your point?
Do you see the line where the coffee was originally filled?
Just because you hit me
the coffee is gone with a 40% loss
It's 250 Won for one cup of coffee
Now, wait a minute
60% of 250 Won is 150 Won
250 minus 150 is 100 Won
So please give me 100 Won
When people bump into each other
aren't both of them to blame?
No, you don't understand
I'll explain the situation again
Isn't this how a person walks after getting a drink?
Koreans always do this
Watch it!
Watch!
Who's that?
The finance director
He didn't follow us
Man, why is this so hard for me?
Why did you have to make such a big deal?
I told you I was sorry earlier so shouldn't you back off?
Then how's this?
Do you find that funny?
Do you really work here?
Also, honestly, when you bumped into me, wasn't it your fault?
If you're holding coffee you should be careful
What's so urgent that you'd run...
Hot!
That's the news director!
Sun-mi
Yes
Drop by the radio news brief office
Where did Mr. Shin go?
Don't swallow so loud and speak slowly
Yes. I'll be right back I'll be right back
Why is she always so happy?
It makes me nervous
Why not send Young-mi?
What if she were to make a mistake?
Young-mi has promise
We can't ruin that by making her do just anything
You're too biased
If Mr. Shin were on time we wouldn't have to do this
We have to give him an earful
Where did you go after lunch?
The radio news brief!
I have a great memory
I put some time in between as a cushion
I'm not late am I?
Did you go play billiards again?
Sun-mi went to do it
Sun-mi went?
Why aren't you being more dignified?
I came right after the game ended
I'm going to get my makeup done
See ya
I'm so embarrassed
I bet 5,000 Won
- Thanks - Thanks
This is the 7 o'clock MBS news
We have received reports that
200,000 sacks of rice are being sent to North Korea
The Minister of Unification stated today that
the move is aimed to foster brotherly love and charity
There are many events for the family in May
The parks and amusement centers are filled with people
including children and parents holding hands
Kim Chang-Woo reports
This is the third day he's been in hiding
Do you think something's wrong?
I don't know
But I'm sure that they're selling fake imported wine to a bar in Kang-Nam
As I understand it, they send it straight from the factories
Do you think it's actually barley tea? You think they get drunk on tea?
The other stations weren't able to get any footage
It's weird
If you're right, it shouldn't be so quiet like this
There should be a lot of people going in and out
Should we give up?
Probably
Doesn't look like we'll have a story on our hands
Woo-jin, you're tired right?
Did you finish your report?
We wasted three days
- Wanna give me a glass of water? - Sure
So what's up?
I'm really happy these days
That's a relief
Since, I'm so happy now...
I'm glad I didn't commit suicide
It's all because of you
I mean it
If you knew how precious you are to me and how thankful I am
You wouldn't be so mad at me
You always supported and believed in me even when others would spite me
You're the first person in my life that I've been thankful for
I want to be the best anchorwoman
Being an ordinary announcer with a cameraman husband...
I don't want to live like that
You know how I feel, right?
So then how long do we have to live like this?
It won't be long
One female announcer made the 9 o'clock news
in the middle of her training session Of course, I'm not that good
But I'm going to do it
Take care of me
You give me more strength than anyone else
How can such a small person have such a huge ambition?
Isn't that why you like me?
If you want to see why I love you you have a long way to go
If you insist on something like this again
I'll really get mad
Sometimes, when I'm like this with you
I think of when I went to London
I wonder if this is just a dream
Back then, when I wanted to drink
or when I wanted to be praised...
Every time I needed you you weren't there
You're making me feel bad again
I have the courage to always help you
with any worries, pain or suffering you have
Yeah. You were always by my side
But, Joo-hee
Whenever I look at you
I remember the scars my parents left me with
Forget the past
I want to forget, but when I look at you, it doesn't work
Then pretend you forgot
Then you really will forget
I'm doing that now
In front of someone else...
What kind of idiot doesn't even know his girlfriend's address?
I knew there was a reason why I wanted to come outside
Did you call me?
It's about time that we give you our evaluations
The 3 minute speeches you gave us
showed your hard work and efforts
Of course this is all because you had a good teacher
You sound like you're just bragging
Now, as your last test
you're going to be appearing on the morning program that Joo-hee and I do
Everyone will take turns as co-host on different days
This will be the last course
All of the employees will evaluate your performance, not just us
This is the last chance to show us all your skills
Do your best so you have no regrets
Mr. Shin, I better go in I've got a call
OK
Aren't you going to get ready?
You'll be busy
Jin-soo, you make me nervous
Do it right! Don't embarrass yourself
What if I get cut this time?
Do you know what happens if you fail the test?
You spend the next 2 or 3 years doing pointless work
Don't worry, I'm the slow and steady type
You drive me crazy
This idiot doesn't understand what I'm saying
If you fail this time, it's over
You'll just be stuck where you are
Are you lecturing him?
Choi Jin-soo, if you fail this test
I'll give you an example of what happens
No way. I had no idea
I'll work my butt off for this test
I will!
Umm...
Am I the example?
Stop right there!
Hey, idiot! You're dead!
You look too young and immature
Don't put on pink powder That will make it worse
Use something like my powder
Young-mi
You were here?
Young-mi, that's true
I've wanted to point out that one
Keep that in mind
Sun-mi, I've never had such a good friend
You...
Frankly speaking
You smile too much
Are you trying to flirt with the viewers?
Huh Young-mi
What?
Well, let me say something
Sometimes, you have this dead look
on your face that scares the heck out of people
What if the camera catches it?
Then all the people will know that you're a witch
So be careful!
Thanks for the advice but I'm still better than you
I'll keep trying
Hello? It's me, Sun-mi
I'm busy now, can we talk later?
Unemployed people get busy too?
What about English?
Shouldn't we put in some more English?
The kids could get bored
but put some to satisfy parents
How are you doing?
Sun-dal, you're right on time
Could you excuse us for a minute?
Yes
How are you doing?
Have a seat, Sun-dal
Why send them out? You have a secret?
Yes, it's a secret
I have to ask you a favor
You know Jung Eun-Hye the announcer, right?
How about her as the host for this show?
Joo-hee is a close friend of hers
How did you think of her?
I know she's the best host for children's programs in Korea
Nobody can deny that
But she went to the States to undergo surgery
She came back a week ago
She's about to take one more year off The press doesn't know this yet
But even I didn't know that How did you...
I was lucky
I'll ask Joo-hee too
I want you two to work with her, please
Then promise to make me a VP when you become President
I will give you an even better position What's that?
A lifetime friend
To Maintain an Old Castle
How much is it?
5,000 Won per person
Need a hand?
No, I'm OK
You cried?
Can you tell?
Why? Some sad stuff on TV?
There are just so many good people
There's this person who took care of
his neighbors for 20 years then buried them
Gosh, they were so poor I couldn't help it
Now, this is my father
Right, that's it!
Thanks, Dad
I didn't do it to be famous
Yes, I know
but you can share your story
I don't want to do it
Please
Gosh, this is too hard
You thought getting interviews was easy?
Is it always this way?
Not always, but it's not easy
No, no way
Please, just once
You can tell many people about those you helped
That's right
It's not a big deal
What if my kids found out? I don't want my neighbor to find it out
- Just go, don't ever come again - Please
- I said no - Please, consider it again
Gosh, that's scary
Thanks for accepting the interview
Well, I'm more honored to meet a beauty like you
You graduated with high honors from Kyung-Ki high school?
Yes, but I'm not a genius
I worked hard
With an IQ of 150 you can't say that's normal
I'm thrilled to see you I admire you
I envy you more
you're young and beautiful
I'm the sunset but you're the dawn
Well, thank you
Yes, that's nice
You can motivate housewives
Sun-mi, still struggling?
I'll finish it today
Let's have lunch
Why don't we play the ladder game
I don't feel like eating the cafeteria food
That's an idea
I'll draw the ladder. The loser buys noodles with bean sauce
Sounds yummy
This is for Jin Sun-mi
I'm Sun-mi, but...
I've brought your order
Wow, there's sweet and sour, too
Really?
- Where's the spicy noodles? - Here it is
- Have some - I will
We need more noodles with bean sauce
Can you guess who sent these?
Well, maybe my dad but I'm not sure
You played around with your boyfriend?
Well, thanks anyway
You're welcome
It was you, right?
Hey, I'm unemployed
I don't have the money to buy for your whole office
Then, who could it be? It wasn't Daddy
Did you ask Woo-jin?
No
Then you thought of me first?
It was you, right?
You said you skipped lunch because of the interview stuff
Were the others jealous?
Then, was it you who sent me the hamburger?
Well, guess not
You would've never known where I was at that time
Hamburger?
Nothing
Well, don't do anything like this next time
Why?
I want others to remember me as a good announcer
Not a girl who's having some love affair
You're already good
I haven't received any recognition
Young-mi didn't talk about Woo-jin because she's worried about rumors
It's no fun not being able to spread rumors
How's the interview going?
I will go there one more time tomorrow
I see. She'll see your warm heart
Do you believe in telepathy?
Telepathy?
A while ago...
At some place like this I waited for somebody...
I sent her a message through telepathy
asking her to come out
Then?
She didn't come out
I guess, it didn't work
You know, they say telepathy only works
if two people truly care for each other
I guess you're right
We don't have that kind of relationship
I should get the interview done by tomorrow
The executive director will also screen us
Executive director?
There's this one legendary young executive director
He's some son of the president
He just got back from abroad
Then, he must be screwed
Even if his father is the president
he should have to start from the bottom
Everyone else has to work their way up
but he's simply becomes the king of this company
That's so arrogant
Arrogant? But you don't even know him
Aren't you a bit harsh?
Well, he doesn't know me so I don't care
Was I too harsh?
Yeah, you were. What if he heard you? He would be sad
Could be
Well, anyway, I better be good
for this interview, or I'm finished
I'll go in
OK, sleep tight
Let me know if you finish it tomorrow
Got it?
Hyung-chul
Did you receive the telepathic message that I just sent you?
What was that?
Thanks for lunch
Really... Thank you
How are you today?
You're here again?
I said I'm not going to do it
Please, just once
I'm not going to do it
Let others know about your deeds
You're making too much of it Please, just go
Please help me this one time
I will wait here until you say yes
I got it
Wow, that's great!
I told you everything would be all right
Keep up the good work, OK?
Sorry, where was I?
Yes, Jung Eun-Hye, the announcer
I asked Sun-dal, but...
If you could...
Joo-hee?
Joo-hee!
Oh, sorry, yes
Eun-Hye, the announcer Yes, she's my good friend
What do you think of the program? Do you like it?
Was that the girl you mentioned?
Yes
Sometimes, you really surprise me
Good morning. This is Huh Young-mi
for the ''Let's See the World'' show
I've met someone who could be
the next Nobel Prize candidate for Physics
He's truly a genius
Hello, how are you?
How are you?
What are you working on these days?
Cheerleaders can't compare to the real players
So we will win... see... two of the cheerleaders...
Cut, hey, you made a mistake again
I'm sorry
Stand by, cue!!
Hello, everybody, I'm standing here in... Jam-Shil...
Cut, Choi Jin-soo
You can narrate your script We'll cut off the interview part
Sorry, please give me one more chance
I've given you tons of chances already
Just one more, please
OK, just one more
Stand by, cue!
Good morning. I'm here at the Jam-Shil stadium
Right now, it's raining No, there's some drizzle
But according to the weather forecast it will be sunny later today...
Cut
Good morning. I'm here at the Jam-Shil stadium
Cut
Good morning. I'm here at...
Cut
Good morning. I'm here at the Jam-Shil stadium...
I'm with an angel without wings
Cut, Sun-mi, please
Could you brighten your face a bit?
You seem like some devil, not an angel
Let's do it again
Good morning. Today I'm with an angel, only without wings
You've sent dozens of bags of rice every month for 8 years?
I managed to live without it, no problem
My husband agreed too
Your children wouldn't like this, right?
They don't like it
Sometimes my son tried to take bags from the truck
So I scolded him when I got home
That was the first time that I ever spanked my children
He was so shocked because we never yelled at him
And then... He cried...
He was crying. It's all my fault
I didn't buy him any books for his school, or desk
But I helped others instead of my son
Cut
Sun-mi, what are you doing?
What's your next line?
I'm sorry
You're a reporter You never show your feelings
She's such a sweet lady
She made me do this
My husband is so upset about this
We didn't do it to be famous
Like father, like daughter
He was so shocked because we never yelled at him
And then... He cried...
Good morning
I like your dress
Thanks
Great job!
Next time make it a little better I'll be watching
Your #1 fan, - Y
Thanks
I hope a Korean will receive the next Nobel Prize
This was Huh Young-mi for MBS
This is it
They're all good
Huh Young-mi scored the highest among staff members
She also recorded the highest training score
Really? Then, it's settled
How is it, Director Yoon?
Who's in charge of programs for the married couple?
Do you agree with this?
Well, not really First of all, the subject
that Young-mi chose wasn't very appropriate for the morning show
Sending kids to school and husbands to work
Housewives don't watch TV for the Nobel Prize
Yes, I think Sun-mi is better for the morning show
Well, I don't think so
It depends on your perspective
It's all subjective
This program deserves high ratings
OK, then, let's see the viewer rating score
Young-Mi scored 15.2%
and Sun-Mi Jun scored 18.8%
The highest score of the week
Then, it's settled
Congratulations
Sun-mi, keep up the good work
I know you'll be good. I trust you
I'll do my best
If I knew that the screening team
was all men, I would have focused on cheerleaders
Not again
Well, the thing is you only filmed their faces
You should have focused on their legs
I think that was your critical mistake
You should have taught me before
You wanted to take my tactics for free?
I could kiss you
Hey, stop
Who raised an objection?
You said I scored the highest
Calm down
It's not solely Director Yoon
I tried but your program ratings were lower
Nothing you can do
Don't feel down It was only an assistant MC
It's not that
Tell me the truth
Is Sun-mi better than me?
What's the ideal image?
That drives me crazy too
I think your image is not that soft
so why don't you try the news?
Who knows? If I go to the 9 o' clock news
you could fill the 7 o'clock seat
Nothing's been decided yet Anyway, don't worry
I'm sorry. Thanks for everything
Yoon Hyung-chul, Executive Director
I'm sorry, I was cast for the morning show
so I have to sleep early
That's not a problem Announcer Jin Sun-mi
I don't think I can sleep today I'm so happy
But still, you have to sleep
You have to look pretty on the screen
You sound like my team leader
The thing is...
Actually...
You got a job?
Really?
Yeah, I did
Wow, why didn't you tell me earlier?
It's not a big deal
It's my father's company
That's so good, then you'll be busy
Well, it's just OK
I'll talk about it later
When I get my first paycheck, I'll treat you
That's nice
Congratulations
I better go. Good night
Bye
Jin Sun-mi
This was totally unexpected
I didn't know you'd be like this
What are you talking about?
I don't believe this! With Mr. Yoon? How long have you seduced him?
What do you mean?
You think you can lie to me?
No, never. The game is not over yet That's only a morning show
You were about to shoot yourself when Woo-jin dumped you
but now you are flirting with the son of the MBS president?
I said, what are you talking about?
That guy, his name is Yoon Hyung-chul
The one and only son of the President of MBS
He voted for you
Everybody liked my interview but he backed you up
I never imagined
you would do something like this
Have a seat please
We will have an open preview
for the children's program that will start next spring
As agreed upon today, the programs will be immediately produced
So we hope you'll make an impartial decision
The first is ''My Friend Albert'' from Director Kim
And ''Right Foot and Left Foot'' from Executive Director Yoon
Sun-mi
What? You're not going to do it?
Call Young-mi. I can't do this
Sun-mi
I'm asking you, please
The main focus of ''My Friend Albert'' is English education
Director Yoon, you didn't mention much about English education
Yeah, it's boring. That I know
I can see why. You're still young, looking for fun?
OK, who's going to host the show?
To attract more children, we've appointed the famous singers, Sun-Child
The concept for ''My Friend Albert'' was really impressive
I can see that Mr. Kim
is enthusiastic about English education
However, we didn't ignore that part
We've touched more substantial matters
As you can see now, we didn't directly import foreign programs
We collaborated with BBC
and will air the program at the same time, here and in England
This program will be exported
to the world under the joint producers' names of BBC and MBS
Moreover, about the show host
My Friend Albert's host is Sun-Child I know they are popular among children
However, I'm not sure whether it's really good for children
We don't always have to follow our conscience when we do business
Well, who's your host?
I think mothers have the power over channels
so we appointed an experienced host who could appeal to mothers
Granny?
Well, it's Jung Eun-Hye the announcer
She's in America
She just got back, and will be on our show for her stage comeback
What's going on? Did you do your research properly?!
I heard she's still in a delicate condition
The surgery was successful
and her popularity increased by 11% among mothers
because she was sick
I know ratings are everything but you can't use a patient
Well, it wasn't actually my idea
Didn't you just say "We don't always have to follow
our conscience when we do business"?
You arrogant dirt bag
Director Yoon
