What's going on?
(Episode 9)
Didn't you say you train people to be tough?
Do you remember everything I say?
People may get the wrong idea...
that you like Ms. Song.
That's correct, though.
I like Geu Rim.
What if I said that?
Are you messing with me?
A writer who follows her star around...
and does everything he wants.
What do you think?
She signed that Song Geu Rim contract,
does everything you say,
runs over if you call,
and can't complain when you scrap her script.
Geu Rim seems amazing to you,
doesn't she?
Is that how it seemed?
That's how it seemed to me.
I'd be glad if I was wrong.
You shouldn't...
keep putting your hand on her shoulder...
and speak casually to her.
I put my hand on everyone's shoulders...
and speak casually to them.
So?
Are you saying you like Geu Rim,
or not?
I said I like her.
But I like you as well.
Isn't it only natural for a production director...
to like his writer and DJ?
Oh, my gosh.
Go inside and sleep. Why are you out here?
What about you?
Why are you walking around?
Worry about yourself.
How could you sleep anywhere like that?
Good going, really,
sleeping in the hallway where everyone passes by.
I do this all the time. What's the big deal?
All the time?
You really need to remember...
that you are an actor.
Don't follow me around.
I don't just follow you around.
I'm super busy with a packed schedule.
What is this?
Yes, Eun Jung.
Geu Rim!
What happened?
Stop crying and tell us.
I don't want to be on the show tomorrow!
I was dumped.
He's ignoring my calls and texts.
Who? Who are you talking about?
My first love.
Sure. This is how it's like.
Life is bittersweet. I already know,
but I can't even talk anymore.
You're talking fine.
Are you making fun of me?
The show is tomorrow. What are we going to do?
Eun Jung is your fan, right?
And?
What do you mean?
Why do you always act so oblivious?
And?
What will you do for me if I persuade her?
Are you a child? Are you making a deal?
This is your show too.
Forget it if you don't want to.
I'll do anything our dear star wants.
Anything?
How many wishes?
- 1? - 2.
- You're so childish. - Are you in or not?
- In. - In.
Actually, I was planning...
to confess to him on the show tomorrow.
It's what I've been wanting to say.
Didn't you say that you like me?
Well, I do.
However, not as a guy. I don't like you that way.
I told him to come to the show tomorrow,
and that I have something to say to him.
I sent so many texts,
but he won't answer me nor pick up the phone.
I know very well what that feels like.
He says he's too busy to talk right now.
All she talks about is the radio show.
He promised to come watch me on the show,
but he changed his mind!
- You must be furious. - How did you know?
Because I'm furious about that jerk.
That jerk?
Is the jerk you're talking about...
the guy that looks like a homeless?
Well, calling him a homeless would be harsh.
- You're more handsome. - Of course.
You like the writer, don't you?
What is this? Is it a yes or a no?
Why should I answer that?
I'm so jealous.
And? What did she say?
Actually, this is where the problem starts.
I'm in the same position as you.
She loves radio so much,
that's all she thinks about.
And?
Aren't you my fan? Is it okay if I tell you this?
Be quiet.
Have you decided?
Hey,
the two of us need to talk in private.
Us DJs need to prepare. Will you give us room?
Are you telling me to leave?
How can you talk without the writer?
Just go and write the manuscript.
You love writing it, don't you?
I'm really leaving.
Thank you.
Yes. I don't think you have to worry.
Soo Ho is taking care of it.
Really?
He's actually better than I thought.
There's no room for me to get involved.
Okay. Don't catch a cold and use the blanket.
Blanket?
- Hello? - Don't forget our deal.
Will she do it? Are you sure?
Don't forget, I get two wishes.
Come on, just tell me. Will she do it?
Yes, she'll do it. Don't forget the deal.
What on earth are you planning?
That's up to me to decide.
Don't forget to use the blanket.
He always gets his way...
including the manuscript and the kiss...
Geu Rim, let's go in and sleep.
You changed so much.
It's been 12 days since you didn't ask for pills.
You're sleeping well these days too.
Have you been busy lately?
What happened to staying with me 24 hours a day?
I'm moved that you changed so much already.
I'm checking your changes in many aspects.
Doc.
In what area did I change the most?
You started to make conversations.
When did I not have conversations?
You used to only answer what was in your script.
You've started to give real answers.
Also, you started to like someone sincerely.
I'm tearing up, my friend.
I won't do it.
Whether it's a movie, a drama, or Jin Tae Ri,
I won't do it.
What's your plan?
Do you have an alternative?
Is the company in a dire situation?
You'll lose commercials if you don't do the drama.
You have to show your face in order to earn money.
She's right. You should listen to her.
I have to be here because of you too.
That's why you should quit radio right away.
I'm going to keep DJing the radio.
Let's go.
The drama contract has been stamped.
If you break the contract now,
you'll have to be responsible...
for what happens.
Must I be responsible for what I didn't sign?
You're not my son,
but I'm responsible for you.
Since we're on the topic,
can you get Da Seul...
a role in Soo Ho's drama?
Can you keep your mouth shut?
Come on. She has been scolding me for days.
Pick up after your own mess.
Stop bothering me.
Out of all the mess you created,
Soo Ho is already too much to handle.
Why are you always so threatening?
You know I can't do anything without you.
Come on, this isn't like you.
Just do me the favor.
How can you ask me for such a thing?
How? How?
- Okay, okay. - How?
Stop.
Don't act like this here.
First floor.
Let's go.
Son, what's with you?
Just do the drama.
We should always listen to her orders.
Father.
I really want to stop.
It's too late.
What can we do now?
Just listen to her.
Also,
do the drama.
- Then, get Da Seul... - Father.
Please, stop it.
It doesn't matter with me,
but you shouldn't do that to her.
Did you just glare at me?
- Hey. - Wait, wait.
I heard you're recording offsite again.
Yes, we are. Why do you ask?
Is it because of Song Geu Rim?
How can you record the show there...
just because her mother is hospitalized?
I know Geu Rim is your favorite, but...
It's not because of her.
I'm going there to record a radio show.
Are you done?
Bye.
I'm not done, you jerk!
That's what I should have said,
but he pulled on my ears.
You skipped your meal, right?
How did you know?
I can't eat hospital food.
How is your mom?
She's a lot better.
What about Soo Ho?
- Awesome. - Give me your autograph.
- Name? - I'm Min Jung.
- Thank you. - Can we get a picture?
1, 2, 3.
(I sent you the money.)
I sent you the money.
You're so cool.
You're so handsome in person.
What's your name?
Okay.
He's so cool.
Don't make such a fuss.
Soo Ho and I even text each other.
Right, Soo Ho?
Yes.
- That's true. - No way.
Can't you be more natural?
Smile brightly to me.
Here, I'll do that one.
- What's your name? - Suzy.
Suzy.
- Here. - Thank you.
What's going on?
Is that person smiling really Soo Ho?
When Eun Jung said she wouldn't DJ,
he persuaded her by promising...
to autograph for her friends.
He's so good at negotiating.
Are you all right?
Yes.
That's strange.
He keeps touching his temple.
Is he feeling sick?
(KBC Radio)
(Ji Soo Ho's Radio Romance)
Mr. Lee, just a moment.
Soo Ho, are you okay?
What?
You don't look very well.
I'm worried.
I'm fine.
(Ji Soo Ho's Radio Romance)
Today, I'm at a special place...
with a special someone...
for Ji Soo Ho's Radio Romance. Let's start.
Hello,
I'm a huge fan of Ji Soo Ho's Radio Romance,
Lee Eun Jung.
I got a special invitation...
to be a DJ with Soo Ho for the day.
Actually,
I've lived half of my life...
in one space.
Some people...
really hate this place,
while some cry the moment they come in.
However,
I don't cry much here.
That's because...
if I cry,
someone else will cry more than me.
Can you tell us...
who that person might be?
That person promised to come today.
That's why I'm waiting for him,
while being a DJ.
However, he didn't come.
But I know he's listening from wherever he is,
so that's why I decided to come here.
I'm very curious to know who it might be.
He's my first love,
and the person who hardly comes here.
However,
he's the person I miss the most.
Dad! Are you listening?
Mom is too busy taking care of me,
and Dad is too busy earning money for me.
We hardly meet up once a month.
That's why...
I was always jealous...
whenever I saw your family.
The three of you are always together.
You're always smiling.
(Ji Soo Ho's Radio Romance)
Be natural and respond...
My dad is a delivery man.
That's why he always has an earphone on...
to listen to the radio while making deliveries.
(One Call Delivery)
Dad!
Can you hear my voice?
I'm a little mad at you...
for not coming today,
but I'll forgive you since you're my first love.
Soo Ho,
what do you talk about the most with your family?
You're not my son,
but I'm responsible for you.
Son, what's with you?
We should always listen to her orders.
(Ji Soo Ho's Radio Romance)
Soo Ho,
you need to respond.
Well,
I'm not sure.
I think...
we talked today,
but I can't remember it.
I don't think it was a conversation.
Soo Ho, introduce the next song...
per the script.
Do you know how valuable Soo Ho's every minute,
word, and action is?
Do you think your life is your own?
Why do you keep doing as you please?
Let's listen to a song.
Ms. Nam. Let's let our son...
keep doing the radio show.
- He's good. - Stop babbling.
He needs to do the drama.
Let's start.
Before we end,
is there something you'd like to say?
I want to say something to my daddy.
Daddy.
I'm sorry...
for taking away your first love.
I'm sorry for making you...
take all my tears that I won't shed.
Daddy.
Stop crying for me.
And...
I miss...
He's finally here.
You know,
my dad passed away in a car accident.
I lost him so suddenly,
that I couldn't say a single word that day.
So, when you said...
you couldn't remember what you said to your father,
it broke my heart.
Did it?
I didn't know about your father.
Of course, you didn't.
We never talked about it.
Wait. I talked about things like that a lot...
when we met 12 years ago in the hospital.
- You forgot, didn't you? - You did not.
I remember everything, but you did not.
Is that right?
We need to go out and celebrate. Right?
Right?
Of course. I'll make you the best soju and beer...
Don't do things like that.
So this is why people do radio shows.
I'm a listener who has been moved.
I understood everything you said, Ms. Nam.
If I want to do the drama,
get Soo Ho to quit his radio show somehow.
That's what you mean.
Tae Ri,
stop talking back to me, and show me results.
Words have no value.
You haven't done anything either.
Why are you complaining about me?
I mean,
come to think of it,
did you get me a contract relationship with Soo Ho,
or did you get me a drama contract?
Stop testing the water, and do something!
I think we're done for.
Gang's show is a hit,
and our DJ is MIA again.
What happened to Jay?
That's enough. I don't have the patience.
I called Jin Tae Ri. We'll have to make it work.
We need more chairs.
You want me to be a substitute DJ?
Must I agree and do it when you suddenly call?
Because you're the best, most popular guest...
we had on our show. You know that.
The comments are really good.
You were voted best at ad-libbing in Korea.
Did you know?
I didn't know.
Well, I am pretty good at doing ad-lib.
It takes brains.
You know what that means, right?
Maybe I'll try to squeeze you into my schedule.
It's only for tomorrow.
Soo Ho's radio show made the front page.
What are we doing?
At least I get comments from haters.
Our writer is the type to get zero comments.
Don't you add to it too.
Tae Ri.
We get only negative comments because of you.
Seriously. You are absolutely of no help.
Ms. La. Then how about...
a one-to-one competition with negative comments?
People may say the show is refreshingly honest.
Jin Tae Ri is a good speaker,
and the recent trend...
is to make bluntly honest comments.
Are you possessed?
- Sir. - Yes?
You know Song Geu Rim well, right?
We worked together for quite a while now.
She abandoned me when Gang was discharged.
What is Song Geu Rim like?
This place is good.
Okay, okay. Stop eating because the food is good.
Let's begin.
- 1. - 2.
- 3. - 4.
Come on!
You lost.
What are you good at, anyway?
- 1! - 2.
Three.
- Well... - Four.
Don't bother playing then. What's the use?
This game is meant to make Soo Ho drink. Drink.
Are you okay? You can't drink very well.
- Let's take him out... - Shall we?
What? He's weak?
He is weak. Give me that. I'll drink for you.
I'm not weak. Give me that.
Ji Soo Ho's favorite drinking game.
- Ready? - He doesn't know it.
- You don't, right? - 3, 6, 9. 3, 6, 9.
- 1. - 2.
- 4. - 5.
Seven.
Why are you clapping? Seriously.
Just don't bother playing.
You haven't played a single game well.
Drink. Why aren't you drinking?
Let's play geography
- Mount Everest. - Fuji Mountain.
- Mountain... - Mountain.
A mountain.
The Rocky Mountains. Haven't you heard of it?
Drink! Drink!
This is so much fun!
Just drink.
- This is fun. Super fun. - Super fun.
And you are it!
Just drink.
Song Geu Rim.
She's cute.
She's always running around,
smiles no matter what you say,
and is patient.
She can't write though.
Hey. How do you know?
You never even looked at her stuff.
Hey.
Why are you changing your tune?
Whose side are you on?
To the station, she is a writer who can't write.
You seem to have it in for her.
But she's gifted at winning people over.
To be honest, I liked her as my writer.
What are you babbling about?
It's true.
A writer must look at people warmly.
Not like you.
How did she get Soo Ho to become a radio DJ?
I'm sure there is some sort of a contract.
Soo Ho is totally Geu Rim's big brother,
and Gang is totally her dad.
What is this?
Then should I become Geu Rim's uncle?
It's so cold.
I sent everyone home.
What do we do about him?
Did Jason go too?
Yes. He left without turning back.
He is such a character.
He can't even drink,
but he hates to lose.
Should I say this is cute or something?
He can't play the drinking game well.
He's very deficient in social skills.
Still, he's a top star.
Maybe we should've protected him.
We're busy enough saving the radio.
Why should we protect him?
Still, he's our DJ.
Hey. Plenty of people will protect him, so...
So?
Forget it.
Soo Ho. Wake up.
It's thrilling meeting you...
alone like this.
You moved into his house.
Shouldn't you show results?
I went to school...
because JH sponsored me.
Don't you think Soo Ho knows?
So? What's your point?
I learned...
through studying psychology for many years,
that a person who cannot win over one person...
tries to fulfill that obsession through others.
Isn't it amusing?
That's why you're taking everything from Soo Ho.
Even...
me.
So where's Soo Ho now?
Make me one too.
What?
Soju and beer.
And...
don't make it for just anyone anymore.
Soo Ho.
Don't say anything strange.
You know,
whenever I see you,
I get in a good mood.
That's how I figured out...
that it's better to feel good...
than to look good.
Things like that.
I've only chosen...
whatever looked good until now,
which is how I got here. But...
all of that stinks.
So,
I don't need to look good.
I want to feel good now.
You're better at saying how you feel...
without a mic.
What's this?
He's still out?
But Geu Rim, I'm really peeved.
Hey. Soo Ho.
You wouldn't get lost when I told you to.
Now that I tell you I like you,
you try to run away.
He must have lost his mind.
Maybe he's practicing lines from a script.
(Art Gallery)
Be careful.
- Good night. - Bye.
Geu Rim. Should we dump him here?
We can't dump a top star.
You seem to have gotten really close.
What? Aren't you going to report to me?
- The thing is... - What is it?
There's nothing you can't tell me.
Right?
Remember when I told you about my first love?
Yes. The guy you met at the hospital...
whose face you never saw?
For real?
Yes.
Good morning.
What's going on...
You can't handle your alcohol at all,
so I wanted to dump you, but I brought you home.
Is it a good thing to drink well?
Being unable to drink isn't a good thing either.
It's sort of like taking care of yourself.
A professional mindset.
Soo Ho.
People will be mistaken and think...
you like Geu Rim.
That's correct, though.
I like Geu Rim.
That's correct.
I like Geu Rim.
Not because she's a writer who follows me around...
and does everything I ask.
Not because she comes and goes as I say...
and doesn't complain when I scrap her script.
I just like Geu Rim for who she is.
So please,
stop putting your hand on her shoulder...
and speaking casually to her.
Even if you do that to everyone else,
please don't do that to her from now on.
Is that what she said? Does she want me to stop?
I'll do as you say...
once Geu Rim has reciprocated...
your feelings for her.
Lee Gang. Song Geu Rim.
They practically live together.
Hello.
I'd like to buy that building out front.
The building?
Please, have a seat.
I'll call the owner of the building.
You own the building?
Yes, I own the building. Why?
I heard it was a foreigner.
No, not a foreigner,
but someone who lived in a foreign country.
India. India. Why?
They're practically living together.
They were destined.
- How did you get home? - I took a cab.
Why are you getting mad at me?
And what? Ji Soo Ho rode a cab?
Why won't this woman call?
She hasn't called or texted.
Obsession!
You should call.
I did. I kept calling. I tried all the way home.
But she won't pick up?
Ms. Song's mother is being discharged. She's there.
If you have nothing to say, I need to go.
You don't, right?
I'm leaving.
Daughter. Are you dating?
- What? - You're acting strange.
You're keeping something from me.
Mom. Can you see that?
Of course, I can.
You're incredible.
Who is it?
Did he say he likes you?
Did you tell him first that you like him?
No. What happened was...
Well... I heard you were being discharged today,
so I wanted to take you home.
It's too uncomfortable to take a cab.
- Is it him? - Keep it down.
Mother.
Congratulations on your discharge.
You were really sick, so don't come back here.
Okay.
Or is it him?
It isn't.
Soo Ho, why does a star have so much free time?
We split less than an hour ago.
That's what I'd like to ask you.
Why do you have so much free time?
Mother. Let me drive you home.
I got a car wash.
Hey. She already agreed to take my car.
Stop it, both of you.
My mom and I will take the bus.
We have our usual route.
Thank you both.
I'll take you home.
I need to go to that town anyway.
My home and Geu Rim's home are one minute apart.
We aren't even 3m apart. We're housemates.
So, even if it wasn't scheduled,
I'll take her home.
We'll take the bus or the train.
We'll handle it.
My car has the best specs for driving a patient.
It handles well, and it's safe.
I think it'll be much better than Mr. Lee's car.
As for my car,
I cleaned it both yesterday and today.
I cleaned it and checked it.
Hygiene is the most important to patients.
What? Are you saying I'm dirty?
No.
I'm just saying I'll take her in my car.
Ma'am!
Don't come back to the hospital again. Bye.
Okay, Eun Jung. Get better and come over.
I'll make you yummy food.
Okay.
And Soo Ho...
Yes?
I was totally happy yesterday thanks to you.
Ms. Song. Mister. See you again soon.
Eun Jung! Why am I the only "mister"?
I could tell how you felt.
What do you mean?
During radio show yesterday.
You spoke about your father and the family.
You didn't say much,
but I felt like I could understand how you felt.
You seem like you have a warm heart.
Okay. Today, we will have...
one-to-one battles with the haters who posted.
Okay. Come at me. I am ready.
I'm sure she'll cause some sort of problem.
I really think she'll do something wrong.
Seriously. Shut it.
Okay. First.
You forgot you started as a dweeb.
"You forgot you started as a dweeb."
That is what 0976 said.
Did you even have a time like that?
Do you know how many commercials I shot?
I bought my mom a new fridge with that money.
Did she just talk down to them?
Yes.
What did you do when you were seven?
You shouldn't talk.
Why is she talking down to the listener?
Tae Ri. You must speak respectfully.
Please.
I told you.
When Jin Tae Ri shot that photo in a bikini,
- I downloaded it... - "When Jin Tae Ri..."
"shot that photo in a bikini, I downloaded..."
You downloaded it for free? You punk.
- You got it for free? - One curse.
Pay the appropriate amount for what you receive!
Isn't she going too far?
Plus, I memorized this number,
so I'll report you for copyright infringement.
Next.
You're in many commercials with Ji Soo Ho lately.
- You're not in his level. - His level?
You must really want to die.
- Hey! - What about it?
Jin Tae Ri is losing it.
She only talks like a top star.
Tae Ri is the boss.
I've shot 15 commercials with Soo Ho.
- I was better as a child. - No. Cut. Cut.
- I was a better actor... - I'm losing my mind.
I won one more child acting award than he did!
- This can't air. - Did you know that?
Level? What am I, meat?
Am I beef? Pork?
Music!
I cut her off.
Thank you.
You don't need to thank me.
Thank you for what?
You talked down to people and cursed at them...
64 times. 64.
Let's get dragged to the office together.
Tae Ri, please!
What do you want from me?
Who planned this?
I want to kill the person.
Song Geu Rim.
What?
We talked about you.
She said you got a lot of negative comments.
That's what she said.
Jin Tae Ri has no future.
I don't know how she got JH to take her in,
but you know how this industry works.
I'm sick of hearing about her child acting days.
She freaked out during today's show...
and will probably be fired...
I'm hungry.
- Get me a salad. - Okay.
Maybe she didn't hear me.
(Mister Joon Woo)
The person you have reached...
Mom. Here.
That was fast.
Mother, this is your bag in the back, right?
Yes, it is. Thanks.
Soo Ho. Thank you. Get home safely.
My pleasure. Get in safely.
Thanks.
Mother, how about a party to celebrate?
- Shall we? - What do you want...
Geu Rim.
So, what is that wish you want me to grant you?
Where are we going?
I want to go eat something good...
with you.
What made you suddenly change your mind?
You asked to see me first.
Well, I...
I spoke with Ms. Nam,
so don't worry.
For better or worse,
she listens to everything I say.
Here.
Ms. Nam?
Do you remember, Ms. Nam?
You said you wanted to get dinner sometime.
You were too busy begging on your knees back then,
so we couldn't eat together.
Darn it.
Why are you both being this way?
I'm leaving.
Take a look.
Da Seul.
What are you doing?
If you look at this,
you may end up kneeling before me.
Father.
What are you doing here?
Good. You go in and stop her.
I'm leaving.
What do you think you're doing?
That's enough.
She must have lost her mind.
I won't let her get away with this.
Soo Ho.
What do you usually talk to your parents about?
I'm not sure.
I think...
I spoke with them today, but...
I can't remember.
I don't think it was a conversation.
This is the only place I've been to.
Does it taste okay?
After dinner,
let's go somewhere nicer for dessert.
I'm not in the mood to eat.
I want to leave.
I feel the same way...
you do.
You know...
I still have a wish remaining, right?
I'll take you somewhere nicer...
Soo Ho.
I'm sorry.
For what?
For asking why you were laughing...
when it wasn't funny.
I'm sorry.
l acted like I knew everything when I didn't.
Sorry.
Soo Ho.
When I was 14,
my dad passed away.
When I was 15,
my mom had eye surgery.
Well,
I'm not saying let's see who was more miserable.
It's just that...
I feel a little less burdened...
once I say it out loud.
The heart is a funny thing.
Sometimes, I feel better...
once I say what's weighing on my heart.
I...
call my mother "Ms. Nam."
She isn't my birth mother.
But I heard about it...
on my ninth birthday.
My father wasn't home.
He was on a trip with his lover or something.
This is...
the truth about my family,
which people envy.
Soo Ho.
There's something I learned about you.
That even if you are not talking,
you actually are talking.
That's what I came to realize.
That's why, even if you don't talk,
you're still talking in your own way.
I realized that now.
Whenever you write "...",
I think,
"What is this?"
"Is he ignoring me again?
"What's his problem?"
That's how I used to be.
But you...
must have been talking all along.
You said, "Get lost" from the inside.
"Forget it."
"Help me."
Like "Hug me,"
or "I want..."
"to cry."
I realized...
silence was one of the methods you mentioned.
That's why...
when you look at me without saying anything...
Like you are doing...
now,
I want to hug you.
(Radio Romance)
Why do you keep hugging him?
KBC is trying to remove all of JH's talents.
Drop out of the radio show and disband.
Are you saying it's been decided already?
I said a thousand times that I won't do it.
Why don't you ever listen to me?
There's nothing about Song Geu Rim.
I plan to get it in motion.
Are you going on a date? There's a guy, right?
Am I a distraction to you now?
I want to go on a date with you, Soo Ho.
