All About Eve
Episode 10
Good morning, Director Yoon
Announcer Huh Young-mi
Your home is near here or is this a coincidence?
I drove you home yesterday, remember?
I thought you might need a ride today. Get in
Thank you
I owe you too much already
A cup of tea will do just fine
OK
Is that a promise?
Yes, it is
Don't you think I'm better than how I look?
People think I'm too harsh, huh?
Well...
Oh, I see, you don't care
I'm speechless
You met Sun-mi in London?
She's really nice, isn't she?
She even bought this necklace in London for me
Isn't it pretty?
You're much prettier than that necklace
Really? No, you're kidding, right?
Thanks to you, the traffic jam was tolerable
I'm supposed to say that
You?
What's the matter?
There's something in my eye
Let me take a look for you
This one
I can't see anything
Could you blow on it, please?
How is it now?
It's gone. Thank you
It's because your eyes are too big
You're a very good driver
You look great this morning
I guess not as great as you
I'm busy now
What if the others see us?
You'd better behave
I didn't do anything wrong
I went along with your little secret even though I didn't like it
Because I respect your career
but that doesn't mean you can flirt with other guys
That's really shallow
Guys say you're pretty, but that's not what they really think
Answer me, was there really something in your eyes?
You're exaggerating
I only meant well
The program's rating is really too low
Tell them we need to bring in a famous celebrity
They're working on it They're on the phones
What's the rating for the 9 o'clock news?
32%
Maybe it's about the programs
Don't worry about it
They all blame the show's host That's the problem
Exactly, still, they're part of the show
Joo-hee, I feel like drinking some coffee
I'll get it
It's OK. I'll get it
I've been doing this since my first day
How's our rating?
Take a look
It's been going down since I took on the show
I told you, it's not your fault
The company's anniversary party?
Well, I'm honored
I'm just a lowly employee here so for me to see the board of directors...
All right, I will do my best
Who were the hosts for last year?
The head of the reporters and some drama star, Kim Mi-hui?
I'll count on you
Nobody doubts that you and Joo-hee represent MBS
Wow, this is really pretty
Isn't it too distinctive?
Perfect for you. It's a big party
and you're representing MBS
This is really elegant
Young-mi? Could you try this on?
- Huh? - For me to see
I'm too tired
What about this?
How is it?
I'm not sure
What about this one?
What's next?
That's good
I like this best
It's very feminine but intelligent
OK, I will think about it
Why don't you look for something for you?
It's too expensive here
Really?
Not to you, you're my VIP customer
Let's see
This is pretty. I like the corsage
It's really pretty
Oops, that was already taken yesterday
Who could wear this dress?
It will be yours anyway Hyung-chul bought it
Hyung-chul did?
I still call him Hyung-chul? He's the executive director now
Yes, are you going to wear this for the news?
No. Obviously, this is not for me
Young-mi, let's go. Maybe next time I'll get you one
OK
Then who is it for?
We better go. We're running late
I'll change
Sorry
I'm late
Hmm, this isn't good You just got here
I'm sorry
You can't afford to be late
Don't tease me
Stop joking around. We'll start in a few seconds
It's not a joke
Good evening. This is MBS News for Thursday evening
The life of Fiji's Prime Minister is in danger
while the coup d'etat continues
The anti-government party is releasing its hostages
Where are we going?
Are you sure you're my friend?
Hyung-chul
I think we're close enough Could you do me a favor?
Hyung-chul
That's fine
Don't turn me down, please
Are you speaking English? I can't understand
- How are you? - Fine. How are you?
I'm here about the one I bought yesterday
Oh, I see. Wait a minute
You said you won't turn me down
Go on. Go ahead, try it on
He chose it for you
Right now
Try it
Joo-hee was here earlier
She looked at dresses to wear for the event
I see
I talked about this I thought it was for Joo-hee
That's OK. She'll find out anyway
Wow! She looks really great
I knew he's good at picking dresses. Pretty?
I know. Don't worry about it
I just want you to wear this
That's it. You can do it, right?
I'm not some homeless person
I know you have lots of clothes
Your father spends everything on you
He wants only the best for you
I can just wear one of mine
This party isn't that important to me
I want you to meet my father
What?
Don't get me wrong
I'll tell him you're one of my dear friends and that we met in London
When I got back to Korea, you were already an announcer for MBS
If you belong to another company
it'd be easy to introduce you to my father
but why MBS?
Well, I got there way before you did
OK, OK
It's my turn to do the radio noon news
It can be changed
Oh, what about Young-mi?
Who? Young-mi?
She's some sort of a queen among us
I can manage that
I told Sun-dal...
Hyung-chul!
OK, I know, it's not right
Promise then that you will be there after the news
The dry weather affected the rice-planting methods
The rice seeds will be planted directly in the dry field
Lee Kyung-Lim reports from Yeh-soo
Who is it?
Flowers
Flowers?
This is for Huh Young-mi
Hey, it's you
You felt sorry for me, didn't you?
I'm a man too
Nobody can be happy when he sees his girlfriend like that
Young-mi, please look at me, only me
You always look around
Please just focus on me
Yes, you're right. I look around
My father said I got it from my mom
Young-mi!
Can you be the King?
The King of MBS?
MBS 12 o'clock news

Thank you
Good job. Are you going to the party?
I want you to meet my father
Say ''This is a dear friend of mine whom I met in London''
Yeah, he's just a friend
Now, that was our final program for the official ceremony
Enjoy the food, and let's all have a great time
Again, we are honored to have you all here
Well-done!
I bet you skipped dinner yesterday too, right?
What?
Your dress is too tight Can you breathe?
Hey
I'm starving. Catch you later
I should have brought a doggy bag
Not for my dog, but for me
What? You think their table has better food?
Hey, don't you think he's just a prince?
How come there's no prince coming for me?
Wow, this is really good
You could have heartburn
Hey, I live alone
Who'd cook this nice food for me?
Isn't this a doggy bag?
I have a dog at home
Oh, you do? Since when?
I was born in the year of the dog
Really delicious. Where's Sun-mi?
She has to finish her afternoon news
What? There's a party
That's not fair
News is news
I guess this is just for us
Most normal average people don't care about parties
Look, she's here
Sun-mi!
Cho-jeh!
Gosh, you look great
Where did you get this?
Finally, you made it
Would you excuse us?
You're excused
Do I really have to meet your father?
Just act naturally
No, just don't fool around
Fool you?
Like, don't kid around
and say you're going to marry me or something. Promise?
Don't worry
''Father, this is the woman I plan to marry''
Like this? You don't want me to say this?
Is this the lady you met in London?
Yes
Nice to see you here Have a seat
Thank you
This is Kim Jun-ho, the president of Mun-Yung Heavy Industries
How do you do?
I watch your morning show everyday
Thank you
You must be hungry. Have some
She's a very good host
People like her too She's so beautiful
Thank you
Is it Sun-mi?
My son told me many things about you
I can see you're very pretty
When I got here, she was already working for this company
Good, that's really good
Maybe we will see each other more often
Gosh, she's like Cinderella
That never happens these days
Hey, take a good look That's what's called the Royal Family
Yoon will be the next president
then she will own Mun-Yung
Hey, stop it
Who owns what?
I know you're jealous I can tell
Just say it if you envy her
I envy her
How do you feel being a Cinderella?
Speechless. Does that answer satisfy you?
The one thing I like about you is
you set your goal, and you push yourself to achieve
I never thought you'd say something like that
Cinderella? I'm disappointed
Exactly, I tried so hard to move forward
But you made a huge move just because of a guy
Isn't that Cinderella or what?
What? Did I hurt little Cinderella's pride?
Your goal is to do the 9 o'clock news, right?
I will challenge you even without him
You're writing a new Cinderella story?
But Jin Sun-mi
Well, my goal could change
I wanted to be MBS's main announcer
but today, I realized that it could be changed
Joo-hee's our boss now, but someday
it'll be me and then it'll be someone else, right?
However, the owner of Mun-Yung will never be replaced
What do you mean?
Are you going to break up with Woo-jin?
I didn't say that
I'm just saying that reality bites
Huh Young-mi
What's going on?
You have to excuse us again
You have to be with the others
I'm OK. You will have more parties like this
You're doing really well
Excuse me
Look who's here, a princess
I'm starving. Give me some food
Don't touch mine...
- You're gonna be the rich one, right? - Hey, he's just a friend
If he's a friend, hand him to me
Sun-mi?
Yes
What about the news at noon?
I just came from there
Then you must be hungry Help yourself
Thank you
That dress. It looks really nice on you
Excuse me?
Hey, you're not allowed to touch that
I couldn't touch it for so long
You're insane
You did that on purpose, right?
We wanted to do something special today
The Mun-Yung Group will set up a scholarship at
Yoo-Il University and donate to the Library construction fund
The President of Yoo-Il University and Executive Director Yoon Hyung-chul
Sorry, I'm late
Had some wine?
Do I smell?
I just had one glass
How can you do the news like this?
Don't worry. People can't smell it through the TV
- I'm home - You're home
Wow, where did you get that dress?
Oh, this one?
Somebody bought it for me
Who?
Besides me, who buys you clothes?
Must be a man, who is he?
Is he working in the same company with you?
Yes, but...
I want to meet him, I'll tell you whether he's good or not
I'm not sure whether that could ever happen
Why? You don't like him?
I just...
I'm not sure, Dad
I better take a look at him Bring him home
- I need to get some rest - Yes, you better
What do you mean?
Are you going to break up with Woo-jin?
Nice to see you again
What's all this?
You let me in
You better shut up or I'll kick you out
So, how does it feel being with educated people?
I can't read, but I'm faithful to you
Yeah right
I told you I never want to see you again
I forgot you and moved on
I saw you on TV and wanted to see you
TV
Yes, that's the spirit
I like you better when you snap at me
Feels like we're in love
You think I'm a poisonous snake?
Oh, I almost forgot. Here
What are these?
I went home a couple of days ago
I found this in my room
Young-mi
Yes, I was a slut, I almost forgot
I hallucinated
I never had parents, I never loved
I was...
Young-mi...
What do you want?
Nothing. Just...
To remind you of our good old days
You know, my mom still thinks that you're her daughter-in-law
She always asks me to bring you home
Get out
I want to marry you
I told you, I've forgotten about my past
Nothing ever happened between us. These?
The film is somewhere in my room
Jerk
Yes, you look hot when you're upset
We're meant for each other
You have to know that I'm the only one who can protect you
Woo-jin? He's too naive
I can protect myself
You're making a big mistake
Get out, now!
Well, thanks for the coffee anyway
I'll see you soon
If you can't sleep tonight drink some of this
I brought you the original one, not the water
You know me
What now?
What's going on?
Woo-jin?
I'm not some princess
Isn't this the guy who just left?
I saw him
Woo-jin
We better stop here
I don't want to be with you anymore
Look into my eyes then say that again
What's the point? We're through anyway
I said, say it to my face
We're finished. I said we're through
You...
You're afraid because I saw these pictures
That's it, huh?
Yes. Now you know me well
I was a slut
I don't deserve your love
I'm sick and tired of lying to you
How can you?
How could you say this to me?
It was so hard...
for me to love you
That's why we need to break up
These pictures?
You know, sometimes, you're worse than these pictures
I'm not an idiot
I know you're lying to the people around me
And what you do for Joo-hee is...
Then, that's good
I don't even need to beg you to break up with me
But still, you're already mine now
I ignored my mom and Sun-mi just to be with you
I chose you
and I abandoned those I loved
I can't. I can't break up with you. Never!
You're home?
I'm almost done
Earned some money today?
Yeah, I earned some
I have to prepare for your marriage
You want something to eat?
Mom, I'm sorry
You're so good to me
What's wrong?
Are you crying?
No, why should I?
Did you argue with Young-mi?
Not at all. She's very nice to me
She'd better be You're so nice to her
Wait, I'll get some for you
How are you?
No, Stop Dad
Dad, where are you?
- Good morning - How are you this morning?
You look pale this morning Are you OK?
I'm just tired
You have to take good care of yourself
- How are you? - How are you?
Have a nice day
You too
How are you?
How are you today?
Good morning
Jin Sun-mi is here
Let her in
You wanted to see me?
Yes, have a seat
But why here?
Then where?
You know, I can't go to your office
I saw Young-mi wearing the necklace I bought
Really?
Thanks for being there for me at the party
It took a long time to make that decision
Let's have lunch together
No, I can't. After that day they always keep their eyes on me
If we eat lunch together people will only talk more
I don't care what others think about us. You're so afraid of
what others will see that you can't eat lunch with a friend?
You're being a coward
Well, that's how society works
See what it feels like some time
Dinner, then?
That's better
OK, now I got it
You wanted to have a date with me, right?
What did you say?
Well, I can cancel the dinner anytime I want
I'm kidding. I'll call you
You're being funny
Funny, that's what I am
Young-mi?
Young-mi! Huh Young-mi!
Yes?
What's the matter? You're running late
Oh, OK, thank you
Yes, 112 Crime Center
I want to report a crime
Next in the news
Since the number of geriatric patients is increasing in the Western world
Hamburgers with mushrooms
are becoming more and more popular
What are you doing?
You know who she is?
- Who is she? - What is this?
What's going on?
Juvenile prostitution and fake wine. We got a tip
Hey, don't you dare open that door
Professional golf player Choi Sun-kyung
scored first in the 2nd round of the USA AT&T golf game
The new Prime Minister of Taiwan was inaugurated today
A Korean-born girl who was adopted in the USA
became the head consultant of Bill Clinton's Economic Advisory Body
The weather is getting colder
It's the cold season so you better wear warm clothes
Enjoy the rest of the evening
- Thanks for your work - Thank you so much
Finally, we're done
You were good today
Thank you
Wow, this is really good
I like this picture
What are you doing? The next one
It's OK
Now, you owe me dinner for all of next week, OK?
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't expect this call
No, I can't let you go like this
Something came up suddenly for the Chairman
I can't afford to be fired
You could join us if that Director Kim isn't there
All of you will be talking about business
You know, I always talk about
what accidents happened who killed who
the stocks, business economy blah blah blah
You want me to listen to more of that during dinner?
In front of Director and the Chairman?
I can't take it anymore
I better go
Good night
MBS has always been weak on cultural or educational programs
We better work on those
Hmm. So what do you think?
Well, why don't you two go on?
Maybe he doesn't care
But we have to distribute the budget equally
We have to invest more in training
for reports that haven't been profitable
Specifically, we shouldn't invest in particular people or ideas...
But rather on the infrastructure
Including equipment and stereos
Nothing comes without a substantial investment
We still need time to think about it
Since there are no profits there are no investments
I met newscaster Yoon Tae-ho before
He's a freelancer now
When we buy something it has to look good
If they're tempted by the appearance that will guarantee the investment
So you're saying we have to secure popular newscasters
to raise the program rating score?
Induce investment from shareholders?
Sounds good. Who else did you meet?
Kim Nam-hui
That's great
Why don't you let him work on it then?
OK
Good evening, sir
I'd like just one drink
This way, sir
You want the same one as last time?
Yes, thanks
How are you tonight?
We have new piano
- Oh, you do? - Yes
A man who sold wine mixed with water
and hired juvenile prostitutes was caught by the police
Yesterday night, Nohwon, Seoul PD
arrested Bae In-soo and is now holding him in custody
He was charged for hiring juvenile prostitutes
and selling wine mixed with water
The rating is too low
They're going to fire us
You said it's not because of the hosts
That's what I think
It was you
You called the police, right?
Do you have proof?
Don't accuse someone without proof!
I'm sure it was you
I heard that before
Sun-mi used to say that to me
Do you remember what you said?
You scolded Sun-mi and asked if she had any proof
But why are you saying that to me now?
I said, I didn't do it
What do you think of hiring freelancers?
Because of the ratings?
It's not the newscaster's fault
I know that
You think this is going to work?
I will do my best
But some could lose their jobs
You've got to help me
I can't, they're like family to me
I can't sacrifice my own lamb
Please, for the company's sake
Mun-Yung Group is better than that
Give me a list
We'll decide later
Laid off?
Of course, they won't need a few of us, anyway
They pay a lot for freelancers
Some of us will be laid off
Joo-hee, what do you think?
You could be a freelancer yourself
A freelancer?
Most people your age work as freelancers
You couldn't get millions but you could get something
Joo-hee...
I will never give up on the news Well, if not so...
They won't fire me anyway
Who reported about the juvenile prostitute news this morning?
Not sure, why?
Who reported about the juvenile prostitute news?
I don't know
Do you know...
About the juvenile prostitute...
Hello? This is MBS could I talk to a detective?
You'll be fine
You can't just quit because you're upset
I won't quit because I hate looking at her
I'm going to see her go down
Kyung-hui...
You watch her
She'll get what's coming She's so arrogant
She'll get kicked down by her most trusted friends, you watch
What goes around, comes around
But how can they do this to us?
How could we trust any company?
They just swallow us if we're sweet and spit us out if we're bitter
They said the company is like family
That's why reality bites
They said some woman called
A young woman?
You want me to confirm it?
Why are you so serious, is your sister working for him?
Hello?
Can you tell me who reported the juvenile prostitutes
and wine with water case?
Yes
OK. Thanks
Some young woman called She gave very precise directions
She didn't reveal her name
She assured us she wasn't a prank call
Or maybe the police are just being protective
Sun-mi, what are you doing?
Woo-jin, she put acetone in my cosmetics
So when Cho-jeh was putting it on her face, she turned red
Did you see it?
Woo-jin...
Did you see it?
You can't be this rude If you didn't see
You don't know her
She wanted to take away that host role from me
You had only your father, right?
How can you make up such a lie?
You know my dad is everything to me. You knew that!
I wasn't lying
He's dear to me too
You're really scary
You scare me to death
We have a 6 o'clock dinner?
I called her. She was in favor of the deal
Really?
I need to talk to you
I'm busy now, maybe later
You want to hurt your family and bring in some celebrity?
Sun-mi...
Answer me please!
Let's just go
Yes, we're all set
Kim Sun-dal told me a lot about you
How long have you been here?
You should've called first
We, the whole staff, are counting on the company
But you treat those celebrities better than us. Why?
They're not some celebrities
They didn't become famous in a day
They worked hard and we need their names
We're a broadcasting company
I'm very disappointed with you
Sun-mi, when will you grow up?
I know what you're thinking
But I'm in a different position than you
Can't you just understand me?
I thought you'd be different from the others
You've got to see the bigger picture
Why don't you try harder and become a celebrity?
Why do you care about such untalented people?
Are you finished?
Well, let's stop talking about it
Come in, have some tea
I don't need it
I'm not here for some tea
Goodbye
