[Episode 11] [The Line of Life and Death]
I don't trust a single soul in this world.
I don't even trust myself sometimes. But...
But I... trust you.
But that's not going to solve everything.
Even if you think that the two works have similarities...
You must prove you wrote 'Gyeongseong's Morning' first.
Our priority is to prove that you wrote 'Gyeongseong's Morning' all on your own.
Then you can prove your innocence.
- Director. It's me. - Oh, yes.
Would you turn on the microphone again?
The microphone?
Turn on the microphone.
Everyone. This is the President of the production company, Anthony Kim.
The drama you are making right now should not be made without faith.
Writer Lee and I guarantee that...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' is the unique work of an individual and it is our drama alone.
Right now, we need to trust and have faith in this fact.
And I'll prove the truth to you.
For now, 'Gyeongseong's Morning' should continue shooting. That's all.
You should act with no doubt.
But if you still can't trust the script, you should trust me and act.
If we want our drama to air on time...
We need proof that you wrote 'Gyeongseong's Morning' first.
And we need to submit that proof to the court within two days of this Wednesday.
Did you say that novelist completed her first draft in 2006?
Yes.
Then you need find a file that proves you wrote yours before 2006.
I know. But...
But?
It's from so long ago... I can't find it.
What about email? You never showed it to anyone via email?
I did. But again, since it was so long ago, everything has been deleted.
I even contacted the email administrator, but he said there's no way to retrieve it.
Have you ever worked on a different computer other than your laptop?
Other than my laptop?
Yes. Other than your laptop.
Writer Jung?
The laptop I used when I was assisting writer Jung Hong Joo may have the file.
Hi, this is writer Jung Hong Joo.
I think she is aboard. What should we do?
Where did you say writer Jung's room was?
What the heck are you going to do?
What am I going to do? I'm trying to get inside.
I'm sure writer Jung will understand.
But, I mean, you two are the owners of this house, right?
Yes, of course.
My wife is so absent minded, this is not the first time we've had to do this.
Yes, I can be a little absent minded.
Do you know how many years apart we are? What's up with the 'wife' act?
You need to put a new lock on. You know that, right?
- Of course. - Yes.
What are you doing not looking for it?
Yes.
I found it!
Yes, I trust you.
I don't trust a single soul in this world.
I don't even trust myself sometimes. But...
But I... trust you.
See? Isn't it nice to be out?
I agreed to come out because you were getting anxious about your debut.
We should get going soon.
I'm not anxious at all.
Don't you trust me?
I don't trust anyone. Sometimes I don't even trust myself.
But there is one thing I definitely trust.
I trust that you are world-class actress material.
Is that how you used to get women?
Now you sound more like a woman.
Try to keep that in mind when you act. It'll be helpful.
It's not here.
The last file saved was in 2011.
I think they deleted and reinstalled everything.
We don't need to wait any longer.
The writer admitted everything in front of the entire staff.
We should think about an alternate plan.
Is it true that writer Lee Go Eun admitted to everything?
When Sung Min Ah pressured writer Lee for an explanation....
That's when writer Lee admitted that the two works are similar.
I thought so, too.
I'll go ahead and submit these to the court.
But with just this, I can't guarantee anything.
If it doesn't go well...
The Request for the Banning of Broadcasting can be accepted.
When is the deadline for submitting evidence?
By midnight tonight.
- PD Joo. -Yes, sir.
Call that novelist.
Tell her that I want to see her before midnight.
What? What are you going to say to her?
She won't settle.
Even if I have to get down on my knees and beg, I have to try something.
Even if we have her as the original writer, the drama has to air.
Attorney Park should submit everything we have now.
PD Joo, find out where that writer Jo Young Eun is now.
Yes.
Let's get going.
What's going on?
Is the writing not going well?
Yeah.
You must be getting anxious since your drama is going to air soon.
Yes, I think so.
Oh my... why are you crying?
When I cried seeing you get a writing award in elementary school...
You told me you were embarrassed.
- Did I say that? - You sure did.
The award certificate...
The paper carnation you made for Mother's Day...
Even your diary that says you want to become a great writer someday.
I still have all those things.
Why do you still keep those things?
Do you think that's all?
The letter you wrote to me saying that you are leaving home...
When you finished writing 'Gyeongseong's Morning'...
You wanted to show it to me first and you gave me that square plastic thing...
I even have that.
A plastic thing? You mean about this big?
Yeah.
Where do you have it?
Why?
I found it!
Why?
Hey, is it worth a lot of money?
Awesome! I found it! I'm saved!
-How much is it worth? - It can't be compared to money!
I'm saved!
I love you!
I'm so relieved!
I got in touch with writer Jo Young Eun.
She said she'll wait for you at a cafe near her house in Heukseok-dong.
Okay.
What is it?
I found it!
I said I found it!
I found the draft of 'Gyeongseong's Morning' I wrote in 2005.
Then we are all set!
Prop team, please give him the gun.
Bring the chair over here.
Have you heard from Anthony?
No.
The court will have the verdict today.
Should we call and find out what happened?
Yes.
Let's begin shooting.
Tell me. What's the reason?
Okay. One cut.
Go ahead... shoot.
[Rabid Dog]
Tell me!
Let's stop for a minute.
Yeah, it's me.
We just received the verdict.
So... what happened?
Huh?
Okay. I'll let them know.
The verdict regarding the request for the ban has been delivered.
The court has decided that 'Gyeongseong's Morning'...
Is not a work of plagiarism.
It's our own unique work.
So please, everyone...
With no more doubt, let's work hard towards our first broadcast date.
- Everyone understand? - Yes!
Still crying?
Thank you, sir.
From now on, don't be so sloppy.
Make sure you back up files and register for copyrights on time.
Crying and laughing at the same time... you are putting on a real show.
Throw it away.
But it looks like an expensive handkerchief.
Wait for me.
Ah, really! I'm wearing a skirt.
I just blew my nose and you act all neat and clean.
I'm not acting neat and clean... you're just acting dirty.
What's this? A. K.?
Can't you tell what it is? They are my initials.
Your name really is Anthony?
Even if you were brought up in the States as a child...
Your parents are Korean. Didn't they give you a Korean name?
I don't have one. I've been Anthony from the day I was born.
Of all names... why did they name you Anthony?
Did you ask them why?
I've never asked.
Why don't you call and ask them?
They both passed away a long time ago.
Don't try to look sorry. Because I'm completely fine.
Should I give you a Korean name, then?
What would be good?
How about Kim Yeong Man?
Since you get so much criticism from people.
I'll call you Kim Yeong Man, it means, 'many criticisms'.
Is it fun to play with me?
A lot.
40 Woo. 6976. 6976 Pull over to the right.
Look at this.
It was because of you so you should pay the ticket.
You're the one who violated the traffic rule, so why should I pay the ticket?
You violated a traffic signal. Let me see your driver's license please.
You are working so hard.
I'm in a real rush. I won't do it again. Would you mind letting it go this time?
Ok, just don't do it again.
Oh, thank...
Driver's license, please.
This license has expired.
I need a background check.
Citizen ID number, 741104 1675138.
The name is Kim Bong Dal?
Kim as in kimchi. Bong as in Bongwoori (Peak).
Dal as in Daldungyi (Moon).
Kim Bong Dal.
What's the matter?
Kim Bong Dal...
You are kidding, right?
Anthony is... Kim Bong Dal is your real name?
Really?
You know... I thought you didn't have a Korean name.
Mr. Kim Bong Dal.
Is Kim Bong Dal an English name? Kim Bong Dal...
Stop laughing.
I'm sorry but your name is so attractive.
Kim as in kimchi. Bong as in bongwoori (Peak).
Dal as in daldungyi (Moon).
So hilarious!
I'm sorry! It's just too funny!
Kimchi...
Bongwoori...
Daldungyi...
So, the fourth is Kim Bong Dal's birthday, huh?
Yes, it's open.
It's op...
Were you shocked? It was a joke.
Oh my! I'm sorry!
Did I scare you? I thought it was someone else.
No, I wasn't.
Would you like to come in?
I guess you were in the middle of writing.
I hope I'm not disturbing you.
Not at all. Have a seat.
All I have is coffee. Is that alright?
Yes.
What brings you here today?
I came to apologize.
I sincerely apologize for misunderstanding your writing.
It was my mistake.
No, it was understandable that you doubted my writing.
When I read the book, I realized that two people could think the same way.
If you could think that way, I'd be thankful.
But I have something I'm curious about.
What kind of relationship do you have with President Kim?
My question was a little strange, wasn't it?
I've been curious since the beginning.
Former President of Empire Productions, Anthony Kim...
Why would he put so much into a rookie writer...
What kind of relationship do you have with him?
Relationship? There isn't one.
What relationship are you talking about?
He is so not my type.
What kind of woman in the world will like someone like him?
If you really want to call it a relationship, then...
A devil and an angel?
Excuse me?
A nasty production owner...
And an angelic writer...
It's kind of like that I guess?
Why do you ask?
It's nothing.
From now on, we are all going to work towards making
'Gyeongseong's Morning' number one in the viewer ratings for November 5th.
Yes!
What's the situation with the competitors?
K Broadcastings' 'King's Feast' is rated number one.
And M Broadcasting's 'Between the Lovers' is number two.
What about S Broadcasting?
It's in last place... its had single digit viewer ratings for a while.
We probably can't expect to carry over ratings from the previous drama.
Last Tuesday's viewer rating was 6.2 percent.
It's the lowest rating.
It's going to be tough.
Of course it's going to be tough.
But we'll definitely be the winner.
This is the unofficial accounting sheet from the time Anthony
started at Empire Productions until he was fired in 2009.
It lists the lobbying items bought by the money that was unofficially set aside.
You ordered everything but all the deals were signed with his name.
Other than these, he's never embezzled my money?
Yes.
That's unexpected.
Well, I think he'll definitely get at least ten years in prison with these.
Contact the legal team and proceed.
Yes.
Yes, PD Kim.
I called because 'Gyeongseong's Morning' is going to be featured on your show.
Yes. Yes. I'll be counting on you.
Yes. Yes.
[Crazy Person]
The revised script for episode seven was just sent...
Mr. Kim. Bong. Dal.
Oh, mom.
Hey, there is trouble... come to the restaurant right now.
What's the matter?
Can't you tell... it's crazy busy! I can't keep doing this alone!
Mom, it this really big trouble?
It is big trouble.
Top star Kang Hyun Min grants you the pleasure of his company.
Why are you here, Mr. Kang Hyun Min?
What do you mean why?
I came here to promote 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
This is my fan club.
Kang Hyun Min!
- Everyone. - Yes.
This is our beautiful writer...
'Gyeongseong's Morning's' writer Lee Go Eun.
- Writer Lee - Yes.
Why don't you say a few words.
Hi, how are you? I'm writer Lee Go Eun.
Nice to meet you.
The first episode of 'Gyeongseong's Morning' will be airing soon.
I hope you will promote this drama for us.
'Gyeongseong's Morning' and Mr. Kang Hyung Min...
No, he'll be Mr. Kim Woo Jin...
I hope you love him!
Yes!
So why are you really here?
I'm sorry that I misunderstood your work.
I thought my apology alone wouldn't be enough.
So you are trying to get away with it with money and your fans.
All I have is money and fans!
Then I'm going back to the shooting. Sorry again. Bye.
Bye.
Yes, President.
You want me to change all of episode seven?
Not all, but just the awkward love lines in scenes 42 and 43.
Did you say awkward?
There is even a kissing scene, so where do you think it's awkward?
Writer Lee. Is this how you kiss a guy?
Huh?
No. Have you ever been kissed before?
Yes, I have.
Then show me.
What?
To me, in scene 43, the kissing part is like two sticks just hitting each other.
So show me how you do it.
What?
PD Joo, read scene 43.
Okay, everyone watch.
Scene 46. It's inside Modern Club.
Sad piano music is playing.
Kim Woo Jin is playing the piano all alone.
Right then, with the sound of high heels, Hye Rin approaches Woo Jin.
What are you doing? I told you to act it out.
Woo Jin feels Hye Rin's presence but he continues to play.
Hye Rin hold's Woo Jin's hand.
Woo Jin stops playing.
Hye Rin...
Can you play... just for me from now on?
Woo Jin just stares at the piano keys.
Hye Rin...
Even if I lie to you...
Even if I betray you...
I'm asking you if you can do that just for me.
No.
And then Woo Jin gets up, looks at her and kisses her.
Even that dumb Kang Hyun Min won't be able to Kiss Sung Min Ah.
I'm not an actor!
But it's a writer's job to write it so the actors can act it.
If you think it's unfair, why don't you ask these male viewers?
So you should write it again.
It's not that I don't like love lines. You just don't know how to write them.
PD Joo, call the assistant director and tell him we are revising scenes 42 and 43.
So tell him to continue without those scenes.
Don't ask me...
For the reason.
The only thing I can do is...
Cut! NG!
Min Ah, that was your fourth NG.
It's not even a difficult line, so what's the matter?
I'm sorry, director.
Let's take a 10 minute break.
We'll take a break for 10 minutes.
You are so immature. What are you doing?
What about you?
You were so immature and quick on judging writer Lee.
Did you even apologize to her?
What's that got to do with our shoot?
If you unjustly humiliated writer Lee...
Shouldn't you make a formal apology in public?
I've already made a formal apology. So...
Stop doing that dimwit-like thing.
Dimwit!
That dimwit-like thing...
You are going to get it continuously.
This is Kang Hyun Min's revenge series one, two, three, four.
Hyun Min, did you see the script for episode seven?
Why?
Since episode one was revised, they put in some love lines.
Is that right?
There's even a kissing scene with Sung Min Ah.
What?
A kissing scene?
What? A kissing scene?
Yeah, but according to the assistant director, they are going to revise it.
Sir, we are going home now.
Good work, guys.
The first episode will air tomorrow, so get lots of sleep.
You'll be on your feet all day tomorrow.
Yes, I understand.
What? I haven't been kissed before?
Do I need to have been kissed before in order to write a kissing scene?
Then what about a serial killer?
Does a writer have to be a serial killer to write about it?
Total bullshit.
Hello.
Excuse me.
Because of that stupid Kim Bong Dal, I can't get into the feeling.
[Kim Bong Dal's Birthday]
What is it? I thought you went home?
I have some business with you.
Business?
Anthony!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to our President!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you, President!
What the heck are you doing?
Today is your birthday, isn't it?
His Citizen ID number is...
Kimchi, Bongwoori and Daldungyi.
I'm sorry but don't you see that I'm trying to work here?
Don't disturb me... please leave now.
Maybe today isn't his birthday.
That's strange. I heard it was today.
Maybe something happened to him today.
Is he crazy? Anyway, I'm sorry.
What are you sorry about?
We will walk you to your room.
Really?
But what's kimchi, bongwoori, and moonrise?
It's just moon!
Can I see you now? I'll be waiting for you at the cafe.
Happy Birthday!
It's the ring you thought helped you become successful.
It may not be exactly the same, but I'm sure they are quite similar.
I hope you make this drama a success.
Thank you but I cannot accept this gift.
Why don't you just accept it.
I'm sorry, but this can't replace that ring.
It's the ring you thought helped you become successful.
Don't worry about me.
In the States, I don't want you to skip meals.
Take good care of your health.
Understand?
Mom.
What is it?
This is a boarding announcement. Passengers traveling to New York...
Look, you need to go now.
I'll be back.
Wait.
This is a ring from your father.
Take it with you.
Go on. You'll be late.
Hurry up and go.
You must have been busy...
For some reason, she was waiting for you all day. She just went to sleep.
Did you get to have birthday soup?
I thought you were sleeping.
I'm sorry, I should have made the soup for you.
But my body is...
You need to get better soon...
If you want to make me birthday soup.
That's right... I should.
I saw you, so I'm happy.
You must be busy. Go back.
Be careful.
I'm looking forward to the first episode tomorrow.
Everything will be fine. Don't worry too much.
Because you are my son.
Finally, it's tomorrow.
When the sun rises tomorrow morning, my new destiny will begin.
Will I be able to laugh at the end of that destiny?
I could probably laugh. No, I hope I do laugh.
[Drama Gyeongseong's Morning airing today.] [Free Meal]
Welcome! Your meal is free today!
- Really? -Yes, it's a free meal!
Finally, today is the day we've all been waiting for.
Today, 'Gyeongseong's Morning' will air for the first time.
Send out more broadcasting info to the press today.
We have to let the people know that this drama is beginning.
Yes, I understand.
Complete the revision of the final cut by the planned air time of 9pm.
It'd be nice to go with something we haven't seen before.
It's right here.
Okay, here we need music.
Chief Han, make sure the entertainment news interview goes well.
Lastly, would you like to say a few words to the viewers?
The first episode of 'Gyeongseong's Morning' will air tonight at 9:55pm.
I hope you watch.
Fighting!
Brought to you by the 'Gyeongseong's Morning' team!
You made a mistake.
Thank you for your hard work. We'll wrap up for today.
Let's go home, kick back, and enjoy our first episode.
The time is going too slowly. How many minutes?
30 minutes.
- What? - 30 minutes.
You are not going to watch the first episode?
You know my superstition...
When I watch the first episode, the viewer ratings never come out well.
Okay, I understand. I'm going to go. Bye.
Why did you ask me to come all the way over here?
Compare your script and the real-time viewer ratings.
Find out which parts make the audience excited...
And which parts make them change the channel.
From now on, you'll be with the viewers until episode 20.
Oh, here you are.
Congratulations. You've made your comeback within three years.
I'd like to be congratulated in seventy minutes.
Let's do that.
Congratulations, writer Lee.
Now, you are finally a real screen writer.
Thank you.
Three minutes before air time...
You should pay attention to that viewer ratings chart.
Our livelihood depends on that line.
Two minutes...
One minute...
In a minute, the drama my daughter wrote will be on the air!
Five seconds. Four. Three. Two. One.
Start.
We started at 7.1 percent.
Not such a great start.
30 minutes has past but we are at 6.8 percent.
We are still in last place.
Where are you going in the middle of it?
It's all over now.
It's only been 30 minutes.
30 minutes has past and the viewer rating is at the bottom.
We lost...
Miserably.
You were here.
What did I tell you.
I said we shouldn't go with noir.
We should have gone with a melodrama.
Here... give me a glass, please.
What are you doing?
I want a drink.
You go and write your script. I want to be alone now.
Thank you.
President Kim, episode one just ended.
I suppose so.
The average viewership rating came out.
Go ahead... tell me.
Yes. Yes.
Okay.
Did the viewer rating come out?
I guess toward the end we went up a bit.
The viewership rating is 15.7 percent.
We are in first place in the ratings.
15.7!
It's a big hit!
Yay! Awesome! Awesome!
Congratulations!
We are just starting. We just staring now.
We are number one! 15.7 percent!
What? 15.7 percent?
What am I going to do?
Yes, what did I tell you?
I told you 'Gyeongseong's Morning' will be a definite success.
This is none other than Anthony. Yes. Yes.
Where are you going?
I'm going to go and happily write my script.
Forget the script... drink up and celebrate.
Now, the almighty Kang Hyun Min's time has come.
I'll take over Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, and then the rest of the world!
What did I tell you?
I said we would definitely succeed.
You don't remember what you said just a short while ago?
'What did I tell you?' 'I said we shouldn't go with noir'
When did I say that?
Well, anyway... I think there is a lot of meaning to it.
Especially, since we got the number one rating
with a drama that has never been tried in Korea before.
Of course the producer's great eye for picking the right drama is commendable.
What about the young famous writer's persevering writing skills.
You are a young famous writer, but you are not there yet.
Anyway, a good screenwriter should be able to write a good love story.
That kind of kissing scene won't cut it.
You are talking about that again.
Tell me honestly.
You've never kissed before, right?
Of course, I...
You've never felt your heart flutter because of a man.
I've felt it.
I'm not talking about that one-sided kind of puppy love.
Of course...
Of course, you haven't experience that kind of feeling before.
Aren't you drinking a little too much? You were already drinking when I came.
This is Anthony. I don't get controlled by mere alcohol.
PD Joo, where are you?
What? Soowon?
No. No. It's just that...
No. It's nothing.
What's that?
Mere alcohol can't do what, now?
Good night.
Don't ever drink again.
How do you feel about me?
I'm asking you whether you think of me as a man.

So what I'm hearing from both of you is that...
there is a problem with the kissing scene in episode seven.
That's right.
We are arresting you for breach of trust and embezzlement.
Why do you hate me so much?
You... I'm going to kill you.
I said stop interfering with 'Gyeongseong's Morning' productions.
How dare you give me orders!
If you have someone you like, why don't you bring her sometime.
When I find one, I'll bring her.
What have you been doing all this time to not even have one relationship?
Maybe I'm just not likable...
Mr. Kim Bong Dal's mother is in critical condition.
His mother?
Mom. Mom.
