(Episode 41)
I told you to be careful when you serve these customers.
They already made a scene several times.
You couldn't handle them...
and made them complain that they wouldn't pay for the bill.
How could you call yourselves hosts and a hostess?
Come to your senses.
Cut, okay.
Director Ha, I think I didn't put in enough emotions. Can we go again?
- We've done it five times already. - I want to do it again.
Okay. Let's do it again then.
Let's do it again.
Come to your senses.
Cut, okay.
- Cut, okay. - Director Ha.
I want to do it again.
Okay, let's do it again.
- Come to your senses. - Yes, ma'am.
Okay.
One more time.
What's wrong with you, Lara?
- We're back. - We're back.
Good job, guys.
The sun will rise soon.
I'm so exhausted.
- What happened? - Lara insisted on...
filming the scene again and again...
even when the director said okay.
We filmed that scene 35 times.
Is she intending to play stuck-up from the first shooting?
I don't know what's in her mind.
Is she immersed in being a star all of a sudden?
What's wrong with her?
I do think she's immersed in herself.
But she wouldn't be like that with a personality like hers.
She found out that the scriptwriter insisted on casting her.
That must've made her proud.
Do Na didn't seem to know what to do in that situation.
It made even me feel cornered.
Is your cheek okay?
I only got slapped a few times.
- It's red. - It'll be all right tomorrow.
I want to put my cold hands on it so that it cools down,
but I can't because a paparazzi might take a photo of us.
Should we go inside my car?
No, I'm tired.
Lara totally exhausted us today.
But she seems to act better the more we film.
I feel like she's teasing us.
She could've done it like the last time from the beginning.
I felt like she put herself into the role little by little.
No way.
I'm tired, so let's say goodbye here.
No, you shouldn't.
Bye.
Go for it, Do Na.
Bye.
- It's good. - Right.
- I'm home. - Hi.
Oh, you're here. Come join us for dinner.
I'm too tired for that. I need to get some sleep.
Goodnight.
She's usually so energetic. What's wrong with her today?
Why did you do it from the first shooting?
Did you do it...
so that Do Na grows disgusted with you?
I can do nothing as her mom,
but I think I can do something for her as an actress.
I don't understand what you mean.
As she lives as a director, she'll have to work with top stars...
or even bad-tempered stars.
I want her to be prepared for it.
I see.
So you want to train her, right?
I want to do at least that for her.
Lara.
- Yes? - Will you marry me?
I want to marry you.
Director Shin.
Don't do this.
You know very well about my condition.
And I...
couldn't marry you even if I was healthy.
Thank you for saying...
that you couldn't marry me instead of saying you wouldn't.
You see,
I want you...
to live as my wife at least for a day.
I'll die soon.
I'll die soon even if we get married.
How will you handle that pain throughout your life?
I can live the rest of my life with my memories with you.
If...
you're worried about me getting left behind,
please marry me.
You're not in your right mind.
I'll see you later.
Sir.
Hey.
Goodness! When did you come back?
Let's talk from a distance.
- When did you come back? - Last night.
Well, you heard my message, right?
- What if I did? - What do you think about it?
You're young, but you're good at teasing adults.
I'm not talented in singing, so I should be good at something.
Forget it. I left so many texts and calls.
How could you not answer me once?
- You're talented. - What?
I won't repeat myself.
Really? I'm talented?
You heard it right, so don't ask me again.
Well, then date me.
Have you lost your mind?
Your talent has nothing to do with dating.
Well, if I'm talented, you'll train me.
Then I'm going to flirt with you.
That's ridiculous.
Just go in, and practice.
There is something I couldn't say...
in the message I sent you.
What is it?
I love you, Gil Joon.
You're spending a lot of money because I'm sick, right?
Yes. I need a lot of money...
so I have to work day and night.
So get better soon, you brat.
I'm trying to, but it's not easy.
Cut. Okay.
- Cut. Okay. - Cut. Okay.
You expressed your feelings very well.
Thank you.
I want to give you a pat on the head too, but I won't.
If you keep holding yourself back like that, you'll get sick.
Do you really want to marry Lara?
Yes.
You're a headstrong man.
I want to be with her...
even for a few days.
No, even for just one day.
If she could live a long life,
I might have lost her to you.
Ever since I found out that Lara doesn't have much time left,
I've become more desperate.
I admit you're a man.
You are a decent guy.
It's no wonder...
that she's swayed by you.
Please help me...
so that she can make a decision...
that will make her happy for the little time she has left.
I told you once...
that she's not an adventurer.
Besides,
if she really loves you,
she will pretend even harder not to show her love.
I know that you have a strong influence...
on Lara.
If I were her,
I wouldn't agree to have that kind of marriage either.
And...
I love her too.
My last wish...
is to let her go...
in my arms.
Hye Mi.
You should have a daughter first.
Don't you want a grandson?
Since there aren't many men in our family,
if you have a son first, he'll most likely be...
an only child just like me and my father.
So you should have a daughter first.
That's not something she can help with.
We should keep giving her words of blessing.
In that sense, you should be grateful to me.
Your family has had just one child for generations,
but I gave you two children.
You're being condescending again.
Seo Hyun, you should get ready to meet the men we pick for you.
I'm going to marry a man I like.
You brat.
Goodness.
Why couldn't I be more like Seo Hyun?
Are you regretting that you married me?
It's harder than I thought to live with a man...
who loved someone else.
If I have married someone I was madly in love with,
things wouldn't have become this hard now.
From now on, I will do my best to take care of you...
to make up for what I did.
That makes me feel a little better.
Do Hyun.
Yes. What is it?
I've set my eyes on you. Today is the first day of our relationship.
Out of the blue? You can't decide that by yourself.
Bum Woo is handsome too,
but he's not really my type.
So I've set my eyes on you.
Hey. Don't you read things on the internet?
Oh, the rumors about you and Director Ha Do Na?
That's right.
I like Director Ha.
That's too bad. It seems like she turned you down.
What? Who says that she turned me down?
My instinct as a woman.
During the shoot, I saw the way she looked at you.
There were no romantic feelings at all.
What are you saying? You just decide everything by yourself.
I became a trainee when I was 13, so I haven't dated anyone.
I even got my first a cellphone only recently.
Please save my number. I saved yours already.
Why should I?
You know why.
Do Hyun, you're already in my heart.
What's wrong with her?
She just touched my chest.
Mom! Mom!
- Mom! - Yes?
Mom.
Mr. Yoo is back.
Really? That's great.
I asked him out too.
Wouldn't it make you look like a shallow woman?
You're so old-fashioned. These days, people don't care about that.
Okay then.
What did he say?
He's not giving me an answer.
It wouldn't be Mr. Yoo if he would be so easy to get.
Are you sure he likes you too?
I don't know.
What are you going to do then?
All that matters is that I like him.
That's nonsense.
I'm just kidding.
He's certainly feeling something towards me. Yes.
It feels like the way he looks at me is different now.
After the trip, something is different about him for sure.
I want to see you together soon.
I'm going to take it slow.
I'm going to the bathroom.
She passed out...
after working for days without sleep.
The doctor told her to stay at the hospital,
but she just got an IV and left.
Writer Yoon.
You should take care of yourself first.
This will sound corny, but I know how to take care of myself.
I'm just feeling drained after I finished writing the fifth episode.
What?
You've finished writing the fifth episode already?
I don't know what's gotten into her.
Normally, she doesn't hand in the script until the staff rush her,
but she's different this time.
What's going on? I heard she passed out.
Don't you know that I pass out often?
Stop making a big deal out of this.
We're worried because we're just getting started.
She has written the fifth episodes already.
You don't have to write it in such a hurry.
I'm a writer. It's my job to write.
I just couldn't stop writing. That's all.
Thank you so much, Writer Yoon.
Just because of your bad reputation,
I thought you'd give me a hard time with the script.
I guess I'm lucky...
that you're doing your best this time.
Right.
You're new, so it would take a long time for you to film the scenes.
I should at least give you the script earlier than usual.
Thank you so much, Writer Yoon. Thank you.
I really mean it.
You'll be getting engaged to Ha Kyung...
on the first Saturday of next month, so don't forget.
Aunt Hwa Im.
I can't stand seeing you being single anymore.
I got you the best date, so just stick to that day.
Am I a child? Why are you trying to control my life?
If I don't do this, you won't come to your senses.
You two can discuss the rest.
Your aunt has severe symptoms of depression.
She might even commit suicide if things get worse.
- So please... - Ha Kyung.
I really don't like you.
Why do you hate me so much?
What did I do to make you hate me?
Ever since college,
you were never naive.
Yes, you're right. I was never naive.
I was living off a relative's house with my younger sister,
so I had to be quick witted.
If I didn't act clever, I could've gotten kicked out.
When I heard that you got a job at a broadcasting station,
I got myself hired at an agency...
so I could run into you one day.
Do you want to know why I like you so much?
As I got to know your aunt,
I found out that your childhood was as miserable as mine.
But unlike me,
you had a pure heart.
You were always pure.
You were transparent.
That's why I started liking you.
I'm in love with someone else.
I know that. I'm still willing to get married to you.
I'm not going to ask you to love me.
Just let me...
love you.
Your obsession scares me.
- I have some good news for you. - Okay.
- Hello. - Hi.
You're in for a surprise.
Why? Are you shocked...
to get chosen for another advertisement?
Yes... Yes, I'm shocked.
Why would you get shocked? Come here.
Dong Woo's going to get engaged with Ha Kyung.
You didn't need to come all the way here to tell her that.
I'm here to keep an eye on your mother.
I don't want her to hit on my nephew.
My mom's going to get back together with my dad.
But isn't it weird that she hasn't gotten back together with him yet?
What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to play around with both men?
Madam Jung, you should come if you're ready.
Okay.
Did you really have to come all the way here?
The thought of you being with her...
makes me so anxious that I can't even breathe.
I'll stay here. You should go home.
Why would you stay here?
She should stay here because she's going to get married with you.
Why would she stand still when her man has her eyes on someone else?
I'm not her man.
If you keep being stubborn like this,
I'm going to move out again.
There we go.
Dad.
You must both be tired.
Come on.
I have vocal practice, so I'm going to go.
Have a fun date.
- Okay. - But...
Let's go.
Welcome home.
I'm home.
My goodness.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm her ex-husband and the father of our kids.
Oh, gosh. I see.
Welcome.
I've done...
so many wrong things to her in the past.
I meant to tell you everything if I ever got to meet you.
Lara did nothing wrong.
It's all because I was greedy.
My son's the bad guy.
It's all in the past.
You should also forget about it now.
He wanted to say something to me at home.
Oh, is that so?
Okay. You should go inside.
Okay.
- Be careful. - Okay.
I'll get you a cup of coffee after I get some rest.
No, it's okay.
I didn't come here to ask you for coffee.
If I want anything, I'll get it myself.
But you can't do stuff like that.
Why? I have my own hands and feet.
Why can't I do that?
Do you have any tea here? I'll make you some tea.
It's okay.
What is it that you wanted to say?
I asked if we could talk here because I thought...
you might have a hard time if we stayed outside at a coffee shop.
What is it?
Shin Dong Woo...
told me that he wants to get married to you.
Do you think...
that makes any kind of sense?
I tried thinking about it in his shoes.
And I kind of started to understand him.
Be honest with me.
I want to let you...
do everything you can before you die.
I guess...
I got cancer because I'm such a bad person.
I love...
both you...
and Director Shin.
I'm grateful that I'm in the picture too.
I don't know if this is even possible.
How can I be in love with two men at the same time?
I guess...
you're really about to die.
I thought you'd hide your feelings about Shin Dong Woo forever.
Lara.
You can go to Shin Dong Woo if you enjoy being with him...
more than you enjoy being with me.
I can't do that. I'm not that mean.
Then you can...
just give both of us a hard time until the moment you die.
- Are you making fun of me? - What if I am?
Go ahead. Glare at me or hit me if you can.
Are you joking with me?
Yes.
I'm going to joke around with you from now on.
Only then, will I be able...
to see you smile more often.
Search for some nice jokes for me.
What for?
I want to use them for someone.
Yes, sir.
A host bar and a hostess bar are in the same building?
It'll be a total makeover in acting for Do Hyun and Bum Woo.
I insisted on this role for a reason.
You don't come to a bar after work.
You must be going through a lot with your work.
- Hello. - We got some too.
The more, the better.
Our editor is the type to eat a lot.
Our Young Hee doesn't eat that much.
What do you mean, our Young Hee?
That sounded so heartwarming.
I've got the feeling. You two are dating, aren't you?
No way.
You can't fool me.
Every single member in our group who was secretly dating someone...
got caught by me.
But that doesn't mean...
I told on them or anything.
By the way, Do Hyun.
Yes? What?
Why did you ignore all of my texts and calls?
Oh, that.
I rarely check my cell phone.
You didn't even answer my calls.
Let me say something...
for everyone here to hear.
Director Ha, I especially want you to listen carefully.
I...
like Do Hyun.
It's a bit embarrassing now that I said it.
I'll... I'll leave everyone to carry on with their jobs.
She says everything and then says that she's embarrassed.
Do Na.
She's completely crazy.
I'm crazy myself, so I like crazy people.
She's really cute.
Why are you adding onto this?
Mi So's just being like that because she's out of her mind.
We have absolutely nothing going on between each other.
Okay.
Let's continue.
I want you to start working here.
I've been feeling sorry toward Do Hyun.
I'm glad someone likes him.
She's young and cute.
Fine. I'm not young, and I'm not cute.
On top of that, I'm even violent.
So what? Are you jealous of Do Hyun?
Gosh, you're a jealousy incarnate.
I told you. There's a drama by that name.
I feel like there's a generation gap.
How can you take it that way?
You're slowly starting to act up, aren't you?
I knew something like this would happen the moment you started...
talking to me more comfortably.
I'm going to shoot an advertisement for an outdoor sportswear brand.
Really?
I'll be meeting the person in charge tomorrow.
You're getting bigger day by day.
It's pressuring since we need to be more careful not to get caught.
It'll be fine if we just meet at home.
I should stop picking you up at your place from now on.
This job comes with a big disadvantage.
But still, I'm really happy these days...
because we're no longer playing hard to get.
Life would be a lot better if Lara would stop giving me...
such a hard time on set.
Dong Woo, why are you being like this?
Fine.
Leave if you will.
Do whatever you want if you want to see me die.
- Dong Woo. - Let him leave.
This is why people always say we shouldn't trust anyone.
I raised him so dearly.
Yes, I've been working really hard lately.
So I can drink today.
I was going to go to the gosiwon, but they hung new wallpaper,
so I need to wait until tomorrow.
I missed alcohol.
This is nice.
By the way, aren't you too old to run away from home?
I'm already embarrassed, so don't make it more obvious.
So tell me, are you still...
hitting on Lara?
I asked her to marry me.
Dong Woo, you're so romantic.
I've been feeling sorry for Lara.
But I won't have to worry about her.
She has a great man going head over heels for her.
I'd love to go to bed...
and see the morning sun with her for at least just one day.
Not many people your age can stay so romantic.
You're incredible, Dong Woo.
Nothing excites me anymore.
The only thing I'm still crazy about is writing.
Nothing else makes me goes crazy.
- I'm amazed. - I never thought...
I'd ever fall in love with someone so desperately.
So I'm amazed as well.
Here.
Let's drink.
Let's toast...
to your crazy love.
I really don't understand you.
You want to borrow money from me...
with a promised three-percent interest?
Please lend me 10,000 dollars.
Where do you use all your money?
Are you seeing someone?
Please don't ask me why.
You make the most, but you always seem to be out of money.
I'm fine since I'm crazy about money.
But why do you live your life that way?
I've seen countless guys...
retiring from this field with not even a single penny left.
You better think straight while you're still young.
Take your money when you get off work.
Thank you.
Go do your job.
Cut. Okay.
Okay. Let's move onto the next scene.
Let's go.
Your hands seemed to be shaking.
They're a little shaky.
Stay still.
Have you...
thought about my offer?
I don't even need to.
I'll keep waiting.
We're back.
- Are you done already? - Yes.
Lara did it in one go today.
It seems like she only becomes fussy when you're shooting.
See? I told you he has feelings for me.
He drove me home.
You should've texted me.
I also just got home.
I could've seen his face.
He's a really good singer as well.
He wasn't just good-looking.
You're completely in love.
This time, I think I've fallen for a really nice guy.
Are you okay with your past scars?
That's how I started liking someone new.
I'm relieved.
I was worried that your scars might last for a long time.
I hope he'll soon like you back.
He already likes me.
The crucial thing is whether or not he'll love me.
What did you just say?
Are you saying...
you want me to join your date as a third wheel?
It's not the best thing to say,
but I'm glad you're back.
Thank you, Director Shin.
Your senior from work moved out after an unfortunate happening,
and all you can say is, "Thank you"?
Do Na, you seem to be crazy about love.
I'm sorry.
But thanks to you, I get to see Bum Woo more comfortably.
I'm happy.
I'm happy too.
Let's go. I'll buy you some drinks.
I'll be shooting another advertisement.
Do Na, you must be happy to have a rich boyfriend.
Yes, I'm happy.
Let's go.
My goodness, you're drinking every day these days.
Come on, Grandma.
This is my first time drinking after I started shooting.
My gosh.
You're home.
Lara.
You shouldn't do that to me.
Why are you being so harsh on me all of a sudden?
I heard you shot your lines...
in one go when Director Shin directed the scene.
Is it discrimination or something?
You trust him because he's experienced,
and you don't trust me because I'm new? Is that it?
Yes. You're right.
Wait. What are you talking about?
What's wrong?
This is my first major role after coming back to the business.
It's natural that I want to do a good job.
To do that, I need to express my feelings as much as I can.
You can express your feelings well at once with Director Shin,
but you have to repeat the scene dozens of times with me.
Is that what you're saying?
I guess it's a difference of the influence over the set.
Mom, what are you doing?
Why do you think I have so little influence over the set?
Are you saying I had strong influence over the set...
while filming "Acanthus", but I don't have it anymore?
You should know better than I do.
- Lara. - Hey, stop.
- I'm not done talking to you. - Stop. Come with me.
I need to talk to you. Let go of me!
- Let's go. - What did she mean by that?
Hey. My gosh.
Hey. Let go of me.
I still have things to say to her.
Stop it. She must have hard feelings toward you.
What did I do?
She's your mom, but you never treated her that way.
Goodness.
Mom, why are you doing this to Do Na all of a sudden?
What do you mean?
It's like you're letting out your pent-up anger at once.
I just said what I had to say as an actress.
No. It's true that you act a little strangely...
when you work with Do Na.
Even I could see that.
No, I don't.
I just really want to do well on this drama.
You're here.
- Would you like some tea? - Just cold water, please.
Okay.
I just came to take a rest on my way to another filming site.
Okay, I see.
I didn't say anything.
So you had a big fight with Do Na?
Do Na must hate me, but there is no choice.
You must really love her.
You don't even have enough time to show your affection.
She's strong already, but I want to make her stronger.
Oh, right.
On my way to work this morning,
I saw a car that had a student driver sign on it.
Do you know what was written below the sign?
"I'm already late, so go ahead."
I haven't seen you smile...
in a long time.
Thank you for making me smile.
I have some more funny stories.
Is there a reason why we should meet?
We love the same man.
I think that's enough for a reason.
As far as I know, Joon Ho ended things with you.
Our relationship won't end that easily.
I don't need to hear this.
I'm pregnant.
I'm five months pregnant.
Joon Ho doesn't know about this yet.
Hye Mi. What brought you to my office at this hour?
- Hye Mi. - Yoo Jin Hee is pregnant.
She's five months pregnant.
What are you going to do now?
Let's date on the premise that we'll get married.
I have no intention of doing that.
My friend is doing your outdoor clothing brand commercial.
You signed the contract, right?
I assume you also did this to Do Hyun.
No.
No. Do Hyun was just someone...
I wanted to play with for a while.
You're different.
You're like a clean sheet of paper.
That's pathetic.
Why do you feel the need to take control over someone?
It's because I was born and raised this way.
I refuse it.
Don't make the decision that easily.
It can change your life.
Give it a lot of thought,
and take your time to decide.
How are you going to live with Joon Ho now?
You can't be together now. No, you shouldn't be.
That's what that woman wants.
- Let them be. Like attracts like. - No.
I can't do it, Mom.
I can't let her take what's mine...
because it hurts my pride so much above anything else.
You have to get out of there.
You have fallen into the gutter.
You must get out of it.
That's not a matter of pride.
I can't just back away like this.
You want to stay married to a man who got another woman pregnant?
I won't have blood on my own hands.
Hye Mi.
What on earth are you thinking right now?
Here you go.
I'm very shy of strangers.
I'm with you. I'm not a stranger to you.
Now, please enjoy this delicious ramyeon and gimbap.
Like this.
Just eat it like this.
When I debuted as a songwriter, I agreed to stay...
as a mysterious guy.
That's why I didn't go to any get-togethers.
Stop laughing.
- Why are you laughing? - Gosh, my stomach hurts.
Why did you go on the TV show as the judge then?
My agency thought I should reveal myself at least once...
for my popularity to last longer.
Are you going to keep laughing?
What is that? That's what idol singers do.
Well, I guess that's true.
Are you making fun of me right now?
No. You should eat now. Stop acting like a baby.
Eat up.
Mother and Father, please settle this matter.
Otherwise,
I can't live with him any longer.
How could you be so careless?
She hid it from him completely.
How could he have known?
I'm going upstairs now.
Because you are my girl
I will treat you as my girl now
No matter what you say
I will hold you tightly so you can see me as a man
I will treat you as my girl now
I don't care what you say
Cut, okay.
- Cut, okay. - Let's move on.
Good job. Let’s shoot Do Hyun's scene this time.
All right.
Couldn't you do better? Move.
Today
I wander around your house
- Cut, cut. - Cut.
Do Hyun. I think you're a bit nervous.
Relax.
If you don't know the timing,
I'll give you the sign, so start singing when I do.
Didn't I do well just now?
Well, let's go again.
Today
- Cut, cut. - Cut.
Well, this...
This won't do.
No, Director Ha.
That should be more interesting.
Let's change Do Hyun's character to be entertaining customers.
I'll write the customers' lines now, so shoot the scene right away.
You'll change his character to be comical?
It's all right. It's good.
The viewers will think it's acting, right?
Sure, sure.
It's hard for normal people to do that.
What?
Are you making fun of me now?
Who is it at this hour?
- No matter how hard I practice, - Yes?
I can't...
Ta-da. Do Hyun.
What are you doing here?
I told her the address,
but I didn't know she'd come right away.
Why you little...
Well, what brings you here at this hour?
I asked the writer if she could write a scene...
where you and I sing a duet song, and she said she would.
So I came to practice.
She told me to select the song myself too.
Goodness, that's enthusiastic.
Don't you think she's so cute?
I'll choose the song with a lot of dance moves.
Do as you please.
I should be more careful.
Seo Hyun asked me to date officially.
What? Is she out of her...
- Is she out of her mind? - I think she's a psychopath.
You don't know what she'll do if things don't go as she wants.
Why did you have to catch her attention?
Are you blaming me? It's giving me a headache too.
I'm sure it's not as bad as mine.
I'm sorry I made you upset.
I'll be more careful from now on.
I'm sorry, honey.
I'll let it slide because I'm older.
What do you mean, honey?
That's not how you treat someone older than you.
I'll be counting on you.
Goodnight.
Writer Yoon.
It won't be that entertaining to see Mi So and me sing a duet.
Why?
If you dance awkwardly...
and sing in a messed-up way,
it will be fun.
Are you determined to ruin my image?
My role is supposed to be ambitious.
I think it won't be bad to make your role off the wall.
It'll be new.
It's old-fashioned for an ambitious character...
to be know-it-all.
I don't want to sing a duet with her.
- Mi So likes you, doesn't she? - Goodness.
How did you know?
Was it not pretty obvious?
I like her because she's innocent.
She's clever too.
I told you. I like Director Ha.
What? Then is it a love triangle?
It sounds fun.
Goodness.
You have to shoot the next scene soon,
so take some rest here.
You look a bit pale.
Really?
I should redo my makeup.
Take a rest first.
You know you're overdoing yourself, right?
You ask the staff to redo the okay scenes too.
It's my final piece.
I want to do a good job.
At least for one day,
I want to be with you.
We're together right...
This isn't enough.
It's enough for me.
Until the last moment,
I can work with you and Do Na.
I won't have any regrets.
What's your intention, woman?
Stop it.
You keep swaying Dong Woo...
while defending yourself that you'd remarry your ex-husband.
Are you two-timing Dong Woo and your ex-husband?
Let's go out.
Director Shin.
Ms. Shin. Please wake up.
Ms. Shin.
