[Episode 15] [We Crossed the Rubicon River]
By chance, do you like me?
There's no way.
Sir!
What?
N... No...
It's nothing.
So dull.
Okay... I like you!
I said I like you!
Crazy... I must be crazy.
I must be out of my mind.
Okay... I like you!
I said I like you!
No need to be so timid. Just confess to her how you feel.
That's easier said than done. I can't get my courage up to do it.
Then you need to get brave. Be brave.
Just bite the bullet and confidently go up to...
Confidently go up to what?
Good morning.
What's the matter, PD Joo. Did something happen?
No, it's nothing.
PD Joo is...
Goo Hee Jae, tell me. What's going on?
PD Joo is in love.
What? In love?
Yes, it was love at first sight with the new FD in the directing team.
PD Joo.
Yes?
Are you out of your mind?
Excuse me?
Do you think I pay you to go out and play love games?
You're the PD but you don't even keep your personal and work life separate?
Tell me.
Are you really going out with Kang Hyun Min?
I don't know anymore!
If you're that curious, why don't you ask that stupid ass yourself.
I need to go on a shoot.
Min Ah...
Anthony and then Kang Hyun Min...
In my opinion...
You have such bad taste in men.
What?
You know, Hyun Min is too nice, so...
That kind of misunderstanding could happen with Sung Min Ah, but...
Hey, what are you doing? I said what are you doing?
President Choi! You there red ribbon!
Red pants!
- What are you doing? - Be quiet!
Anyway, they definitely don't have that kind of relationship.
Yes. Yes. I'll talk to you later.
Yes.
I was sorting things out with the reporter who wrote about you and Sung Min Ah.
Ah, were you in the middle of an interview?
- That's right. - Then you should have said so.
Hey, how could you hang up such an important phone call just like that?
Shouldn't you be making more calls?
What have you done for me as my spokesperson?
Did you know that the Korean beef CF contract deadline is coming up?
Stop fretting, they already said they'll come by in the afternoon.
Is that so?
I'm warning you. Don't look at me like that again.
Stop looking at a tree you can't climb and just focus on the drama.
Well, the one-sided love and your CF...
With such a busy personal and public life, it makes sense the drama isn't the focus.
What? One-sided love? Busy personal and public life?
Do you know anyone that busy around here?
I wonder who?
Don't you think 'Gyeongseong's Morning' is awesome?
Totally! I think Hyun Min is so cool in it.
But lately, it's been kind of lame.
Why?
Think about it. Jin Hye Rin said she loved Kim Woo Jin or something...
She even kissed him...
But does it make sense that she's about to betray him?
Yeah, I guess that's true.
Roasted sweet potatoes, cookies, and ramen noodles...
You have the eating habits of an elementary school kid.
Are you going to continue not taking care of your health like this?
Are you listening?
Yes.
Your mom is at the writer's room. Hurry and go see her.
Mom is here?
It's delicious.
Oh my, it's started already.
You are going to watch it again?
Of course, I even watch the re-runs.
Is it that good?
Of course, it is.
My daughter wrote it.
Why is she like that again?
Go Eun...
So is Jin Hye Rin going to end up betraying Kim Woo Jin?
Ah, no.
Actually...
It will be discovered later, but...
She's not going to betray him.
She'll pretend to betray him because she has no other choice.
But she's going to help him later.
So it's going to be like that.
I didn't know so I just kept bad mouthing her.
My daughter is amazing!
You are a genius!
It's starting now.
Let's hear from Kang Hyun Min's agency.
You know, Hyun Min is too nice, so..
That kind of misunderstanding could happen with Sung Min Ah, but...
Hey, what are you doing? I said what are you doing?
- President Choi! - Be quiet!
Your voice was recorded, too.
Ah, that ruined my style.
As you've heard, the agency is denying the rumor.
But there are reports witnessing them together on set and at a cafe.
These reports have further fueled the rumor...
Does this signal the beginning of another celebrity couple?
The beginning of a celebrity couple?
I told them no but why won't they believe me?
You should've made it more clear!
That's my new CF contract... money is here.
We are really enjoying your drama 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
Since we are on that topic...
We thought we could shoot the CF with Ms. Sung Min Ah... as a couple.
You two look so good together in the drama. You seem to have great chemistry.
I've been doing this alone for 3 years, why do it with Sung Min Ah now?
Well, it's just that the advertiser wants it that way this time.
Go back and tell your advertiser...
I'm never going to do it unless I do it alone.
Not going to do it!
Ah, the scandal about me and Kang Hyun Min...
You know that it's not true.
I know better than anyone.
Did you ask me out so you can tell me that?
No, I asked you out so I can introduce you to someone.
Ah, he's here.
This is Mr. Kim Sang Jae, the director of Taesang Group.
I'm Anthony Kim.
Nice to meet you.
A production company?
Yes.
We plan on creating a grand scale production company in Asia.
I want you to come on board to manage the company.
You'll be compensated with a top rate salary.
You'll also be granted 10 percent of the stock options.
What do you think?
Right now you may be heading a small production company...
But I believe my offer is suitable for the one
responsible for creating a legend out of Empire Productions.
I'm sorry but I'm going to have to decline.
Why is that?
What's the reason you declined such an exceptional offer...
Of course, it's an attractive offer.
But I won't work under somebody again.
Building World Productions into Asia's...
No... the world's top production company with my own two hands...
That's my goal.
Then, please take a look first and then make a decision.
This company will not only be involved in drama production...
It will be a vast entertainment group that will also act as a management agency.
The first person we'll sign with us will be Ms. Sung Min Ah.
If you just say okay, I can change my agency right this moment.
Okay, this is it.
You say you want to build a company that goes beyond Asia to the top of the world.
Go ahead and build it.
It'll start from right here.
For 5 years, we'll invest 4 billion won ($4 mill) to World Productions annually.
Of course the owner will be you, Anthony Kim.
But we'll own 49 percent of the company stocks.
What do you think about my offer now?
Why are you offering this to me and bypassing Empire Productions?
Our ultimate goal is to create a company that will surpass Empire Productions.
Wasn't it you who created the legendary Empire Productions, Anthony Kim?
If those are the reasons, I'll accept your offer.
You made the right decision.
Let's signing the contract after you've worked out the details and conditions.
Then...
You'll finally realize your dream.
Watching you succeed and staying near you...
That was my dream.
Wasn't it you who created the legendary Empire Productions, Anthony Kim?
You say you want to build a company that goes beyond Asia to the top of the world.
Go ahead and build it.
Of course, the owner will be you, Anthony Kim.
Okay, the time has come.
Sir? It's me.
I'm in the middle of a meeting. Let's talk later.
From this moment, my own legend will begin.
I told you I was in a meeting.
I'm busy, let's talk later.
If you hang up again, I'm not going to leave you alone.
What? You are not going to listen to me?
In this busy time, because of you...
I thought you were busy. I thought you were in a meeting.
What kind of meeting is it that you do it alone on the roof top?
We just finished and they just left.
Anyway, what were you going to say?
Will you call up the 'Gyeongseong's Morning' team tomorrow morning?
What? Why?
It's regarding an important matter.
You understand?
So you are saying you want to revise episode 11 and 12.
Yes, I want to bring out the sad love story of the main characters a little more.
The fact that Hye Rin has been helping Woo Jin will be revealed in episode 13.
I think there's a chance that she may be seen as a menacing character.
It's a mistake from focusing too much on creating the feeling of noir.
You want to introduce the plot in episode 13 earlier in episode 11?
Yes, that way the viewers will be able to watch and cheer for those characters.
But can you revise the script in four days?
Yes, I can.
But those are just words.
Yes, you have a point... I think it's a big risk.
If we do that, we'll have to shoot it one week and air it the next.
Hyun Min, what do you think?
What?
Yes, that's a good idea.
She says she can do it so why don't we trust her and give it a shot.
Just because it's difficult doesn't mean we avoid what we see is a problem.
You really think you can revise the scripts in four days?
Yes, I can.
Okay, if writer Lee says she can do it, we'll trust her and wait.
Take care of yourselves, and I'll see you at the next shoot.
See you later.
If the writer thinks she can do it, we should trust her...
And live, you conniving fox!
From now on, we're going into emergency mode.
Yes, I know.
Even if you finish two scripts in three days, what comes after is the problem.
With the scripts after these, even if you find flaws...
You won't be able to change a word and we'll shoot them as they are.
I've already thought about that.
But you do need to keep this mind.
Because of your decision, 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
will be going down the road of no return.
Just as Julius Caesar marched to Rome in 49 B.C...
We've just crossed the Rubicon River.
At this point, we can talk about this...
And we accentuate the ending...
It's open.
As I said, we are in emergency mode.
You need to save the time you spend on sleeping and eating.
So until you finish your revisions, you won't be going outside, right?
So what are all those things?
This is a multivitamin.
This is red ginseng extract.
This is Omega-3 that's supposed to be good for your circulation.
And this yogurt will be good for constipation.
If you sit for a long time you do get constipated.
The most important thing is keeping your strength up.
So make sure you take them.
And what's that?
Tooth paste, shampoo, lotion...
I didn't know what you use so I got every kind.
What? You don't use the ones with wings?
It cost 1500 won more so I got this kind.
Sir, but you are a man.
Don't you think it's weird for a man to buy these things for a woman?
I'm not a man, but the head of a production company.
You are not a woman, but a writer.
I'm going to straighten things out. I'll be around so call if you need me.
What? You are not going to leave?
Where would l go?
You are not like writer Kim Soo Yun (A famous Korean script writer)
so can you write away without script meetings?
And you like to sleep, so I need to make sure you don't hibernate like a bear.
What? Are you sleepy already?
No... nothing.
The Children of Heaven is doing well.
Then I'll see you next week.
Please schedule a date with the production company.
Good work everyone.
- Director? - Yes?
The shooting schedule alone is tight already...
It doesn't make sense to rewrite scripts at this point.
Let's not do that. Why don't we put a more seasoned writer with writer Lee...
You know...
Why don't we trust writer Lee Go Eun and wait and see.
Director, this is her first drama. How can you trust her and wait?
I thought she was the next writer Kim Soo Yun.
That is...
I was talking about 10 years down the road...
- PD Lee... - Yes?
A bit less...
PD Nam... Director...
Hey.
What are we going to do, Hyun Min?
Why? What's the matter?
I just heard back from the Korean beef CF organizers.
The advertiser said unless you do the CF with Sung Min Ah
he's going to switch to some other couple.
What? What other couple?
I think they are contacting Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young.
Jang Dong Gun... Go So Young... (A very famous Korean celebrity couple.)
Ms. Sung Min Ah.
I thought I had warned you not to look at me.
Let's talk for a minute.
I have nothing to say to you.
It'll only take a minute.
It's about something very important.
So what you are saying is...
You want to shoot a Korean beef commercial as a couple?
Yeah...
I understand your desire to be with me is coming to this...
But what should we do? Because I'm not interested.
Why don't you ask someone else?
Don't delude yourself.
I don't want to be in a CF with you either.
Then why are you asking me to be in it?
I suppose it's the responsibility of the lead actor.
And how can you be so egocentric?
What?
Even writer Lee is working hard... Are you going to sit and do nothing?
If we shoot a CF together now...
It'll naturally publicize our drama and...
Stop talking nonsense and tell me the real reason.
Ah... man...
Money.
Can't you just do it once?
I'll do everything you want.
Okay, I'll do it but on one condition.
You get on TV and do an interview explaining that we are not lovers.
You have them write an article countering the scandal.
I want you to be responsible for cleaning up after this incident.
Can you promise that?
Done.
Then, okay.
Do you honestly think this makes sense?
Why not?
That Kim Woo Jin would throw away his hopes and dreams for Jin Hye Rin.
Do you think that makes sense?
Because if he loves her that much...
He should throw away everything and go after Jin Hye Rin.
Is there such a fool who would abandon his dreams for love?
Don't make Kim Woo Jin a fool just to bring out Jin Hye Rin's character.
Why can't it happen if he's even willing to die for her?
I guess you don't know, but people are selfish from the moment they're born.
When they are hungry, they cry. When they are full, they smile.
Well, have you ever been in love?
I don't know how you can't understand this.
Not your kind of one-sided puppy love...
I've been in other kinds of love many times.
How many times? How?
I've kissed and slept with someone.
Then that sort of thing is always love?
What more do I need to do?
Aw... you are so low.
Okay, I'm low and third rate.
Have you ever done those low things?
Fine! I understand, let's not discuss this anymore.
I'm going to keep writing.
Go ahead and write. I'm going to stop by my office.
You still think you're right, but...
You should admit that you are wrong.
I told you to go!
Your son is so great.
He's making such wonderful dramas.
You must be so proud of him.
I hope he finds a nice girl and settles down before I die.
He's not married?
I wonder whether he's ever even liked anyone before.
Because he grew up so poor, he only learned to pretend to be strong.
He doesn't really know how to open up his heart to anyone.
I see.
If he had better parents...
He would have had such a happy life.
What are you doing not writing your script?
I have to watch this movie for our script.
Love Letter?
Yes, I think I must have watched it 100 times.
So why are you watching it again?
To get the right feel and write, I should watch it 100 times more.
See? Because you've never been in a relationship, you're resorting to this.
Stop nagging, I have to watch it anyway.
How are you? (Japanese)
You are supposed to make others cry, not yourself.
How are you? Are you doing well?
Is that sad?
Please don't cause ugly crying so you are not disturbing other viewers.
It's really sad, but also very beautiful.
Isn't it?
Don't you think so?
Huh?
What is?
After years have gone by...
She finally discovers the love letter he put inside that book.
Even the book title is 'Looking for Lost Time'...
Do you know how many time I've read that book because of this?
So... I don't think you've ever been in love.
Have you ever cried before?
Anthony, are you crazy?
This can't be happening.
That tomboy can't look pretty to me.
How is the contract thing going?
Kang Hyun Min and Sung Min Ah, are pretty positive about it.
So there shouldn't be any problems.
Shouldn't we also hear what writer Lee has to say?
Should we call her?
The president will...
Ah, sir?
Huh? Oh, what did you just say?
Oh, it's cold!
It's so cold.
Okay, that woke me up.
Cold. So cold.
Cold.
Yes, Director Kim.
The Chairman would like to see you and proceed with the contract.
How is Friday evening?
Yes, that's fine. I'll see you then.
I'll get back once we've confirmed the time and place for our meeting.
Yes, I'll talk to you later.
What are you doing leaving the door open...
What? Why am I doing this?
Don't do this Anthony.
I'm the head of a production company and she is a writer.
I guess no one has come in yet.
Why?
Here are the revised scripts.
What do you think?
It's good. Nice work.
Cut! Okay!
Indeed, the revised script adds much more emotion.
It started not too bad.
PD Joo.
What are you doing?
What was the viewer ratings for today?
19.8 percent... In a day, it went up by 2.1 percent!
Good work everyone!
[Gyeongseong's Morning's first place.] [The reason for Jin Hye Rin's betrayal.]
[Gyeongseong's Morning: 1st for 6 weeks.] [Broke 20 percent ratings record.]
The viewer ratings have gone up drastically.
I don't get hung up on the viewer ratings.
The only thing I'm interested in is everyone's affection for me.
But right now, because your attention is supposedly on one person...
As your fans watch, I think they are turning green with envy.
We would like to hear your honest answer.
The scandal with Ms. Sung Min Ah...
Was it really just a scandal?
Until I hear your answer, I'm not going to let you go.
Hurry up and answer, you stupid ass!
Ms. Sung Min Ah...
She's a great actress.
She has great acting skills as well as good character...
I swear on my family's name...
Unfortunately, it's just a scandal. We are not in a relationship.
So you are not in a relationship...
But you can expect the character Kim Woo Jin to be.
You absolutely need to keep the promise you've made as an actor.
A husband's health is being taken care of with Korean beef?
About a newlywed couple?
More like a marriage of convenience.
Are you kidding me?
Hi, this CF's concept is about a newlywed couple.
Did you get Botox?
What?
No, I just thought you looked little different.
It's delicious!
Your husband's health...
Take care of it with Korean beef.
Korean beef!
Recently, I was in Hoengseong. (A place famous for Korean beef.)
Please publicize Korean beef for us.
Try to smile a bit. You got money and beef.
Isn't it great?
That beggar spirit...
What? Beggar?
Do you think I'm doing this just for money?
For the drama, Anthony and writer Lee are working together on the script.
Why can't we shoot a CF and publicize our drama together?
They are writing the scripts together?
You didn't know?
They are attached like this all day long...
Working on the script.
I told you not to ignore the supplements.
You got a cold because you didn't keep your strength up.
Take 30 minutes after your meal.
I'll definitely take it this time.
Don't laugh. I might get used it.
My work room is just around the corner. I could have walked.
It's because I'm cold.
Hello?
It's me, Min Ah.
Yeah.
Are you busy?
It's like usual.
Then can you come out to meet me?
I have something to say to you. And I am free this evening.
Okay.
Then I'll see you later.
We are going to be moving our office soon.
The office?
Hum... to a rather big place.
Did Ms. Sung Min Ah help you with this?
I was introduced to an investor who is willing to invest in our company.
I see.
If all goes well with the contract, I'll get you a room with a view.
Let's prepare for our next drama with Sung Min Ah as the lead.
Ms. Sung Min Ah as the lead?
That's one of their conditions.
So stop going around in circles and postponing your contract...
Let's finalize renewing.
Okay.
As a new writer, I'm sure it wasn't easy to change directions like that.
You must have helped her a lot.
Of course. She never would have made it this far without my help.
So while we are on the topic...
I was thinking about asking Lee Go Eun to write the next drama.
What do you think?
If the script is good, I don't see why not.
Okay.
Ah, you know that it's tomorrow.
The contract meeting with the Chairman of the Taesang Group...
Yeah, we are meeting at 6pm in Cheongdam-dong.
Since it's your first time meeting him...
I thought it'll be nice to have dinner so I asked them to meet there.
You used like restaurants in that area.
And also tomorrow...
I'll be expecting your answer to my question.
Don't tell me you've forgotten.
Can you tell me that you have no feelings for me?
So stop telling me to forget about you.
If we start again, there is no reason to end it again.
Min Ah.
I'll wait for you.
And also tomorrow...
I'll be expecting your answer to my question.
Don't tell me you've forgotten.
So, suddenly your vision went blurry and you felt dizzy?
Yes.
Have you been overworking or stressed lately?
Is there a man who doesn't live like that in Korea?
Are you on any kind of medication?
I've been taking this medication for depression for three years.
Three years...
Have you ever experienced something similar before you started taking it?
No, it's never happened before.
But recently it happened twice.
We will know after we get the results back from the physical exam.
As of now, I suspect it's a side effect from the medication.
Cut! Okay!
We'll begin shooting the next scene in 10 minutes!
Kwang Soo, phone.
Kwang Soo?
So there has been some tension between you two for that cute FD.
Yes.
Kwang Soo.
If you want to win a woman's heart...
First...
You need to show your own sexy smile to her often.
She's looking over here. Smile.
You see that Sung Min Ah?
She's totally incredulous.
But if you repeatedly show that smile to her...
She's bound to ask you someday.
Ask what?
Why do you always smile like that when you see me?
And then what?
Right then, with short but strong words, you entice her.
Your gaze is making me smile.
Whoa, that's so cheesy!
Aw, that is making me nauseous.
Did you take the medicine?
Hello.
I asked you whether you've taken the medicine.
Yes.
What about fever?
Well, it feels like it's gone down a little...
You should stop working on the script today and just rest.
I'm okay. I still need to submit episode 13 as soon as possible.
I shouldn't rest right now.
Don't be cocky and go to the hospital one more time.
Go get another shot and come back.
Yes?
This is Min Ah.
Have you left?
I'm going to leave soon.
I'm going to leave soon so don't be late.
The Chairman is very sensitive about being on time.
Okay, don't worry.
If not, should we meet and go together?
Lee Go Eun.
Lee Go Eun! Wake up! Lee Go Eun!
Hello? Sir?
Lee Go Eun!
Hurry up and get up.
Get up!
What? What's the matter?
Huh? No, it's nothing.
I think we should get going now.
Okay, I got it.
Lee Go Eun. Wake up.
Nice to see you again, Chairman.
Long time no see.
I guess the traffic must be really bad.
I guess a little.
Why don't you go ahead and order.
Okay, let's do that.
Hang in there, Lee Go Eun. We're almost there.
Please hang in there little longer.
What's going on?
Since this afternoon, she's had cold symptoms. And she has a high fever.
For the past a few days, she's worked overtime.
How is she?
It's 40.8 degrees. (105.4 F)
It must have been really tough.
Please prepare a fever reducer.
First, we need to wait until the fever goes down.
Are you awake?
What happened?
What do you mean what happened.
You passed out with a fever over 40 degrees.
If you were that sick, you should have said something.
What are you doing here?
What about your contract?
Hurry up and go.
Did you forget what kind of meeting this was?
How could you miss such an important contract?
I'm sorry. There was a situation.
What kind of situation?
What kind of situation was more important than your future and dreams?
Was writer Lee Go Eun that important to you?
Why aren't you answering?
I asked you whether writer Lee Go Eun was that important to you.
That's right.
She is an important person to me.
I just realized it.
How important...
Lee Go Eun is to me.

You know that Kim Woo Jin goes to save Jin Hye Rin...
I think you were right about that.
You have a guy, don't you?
Kim Bong Dal?
If you go and bother writer Lee again, then I'm not going to leave you alone.
Kang Hyun Min was flying around.
I only see his mediocre acting.
Do you think my acting is that bad?
From your perspective, do you think my acting is that lousy.
Have you ever put any effort into your acting?
What are you doing tonight. You should sign your contract.
Why are we signing the contract on Christmas Eve?
So why does my vision get blurry?
I think you should consult an ophthalmologist.
