(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

(Episode 4)

(Park Do Ra, I missed you!)

(Coy and chic, Park Do Ra)

Do Ra!

- Here she is.
- She's here.

Do Ra, you're beautiful.

(Do Ra, welcome back. I missed you.)

Do Ra!

- Do Ra!
- Do Ra.

Do Ra, you're stunning.

Do Ra, I love you.

You're the best.

- Do Ra!
- My gosh.

You're stunning.

I might die of exhaustion.

I feel cold.

Come on. Get driving already.

Do you want me to spend the night here?

Do Ra, take care!

Do Ra!

How can they make me wear
such shabby clothes?

Hire someone different.

How long do we have left on the contract?

They can dress you
on one additional occasion,

but they offered double
to stay on board as your stylist.

Should we still turn it down?

Double the amount?

Really?

Then I guess they should stay on board.

At least tell them to dress me better.

(Park Do Ra airport)

(Park Do Ra Looking Effortlessly Cool)

What I wore will be sold out once again.

It's only because I wore these clothes.

Darn, I'm exhausted.

This is tiring.

Jae Dong, are we heading home?

You have a short photo shoot first.

Are you out of your mind?

How can I do a photo shoot
looking like this?

Was it my mom who scheduled it?

Yes.

She's killing me.

It's not like the gig pays that much.

Also, Do Ra...

What now?

You have a meeting tomorrow
with the "Straightforward Romance" team...

to discuss the leading role.

But I said I didn't want
to be in that series.

Must I, Park Do Ra, be in that series
when they're offering next to nothing?

Also, the male lead is Cha Bong Soo.

He's not my type.

What a sleaze of a womanizer.

He smells like grease,

so how am I supposed
to act like we're in love?

Ms. Baek already had a meal
with the head of the production house...

and the director to seal the deal.

My mom did that?

Yes, so what do you want me to do?

What else?

Get me to the broadcasting station.

Right now.

Victory. Good day, sir.

Hold on.

You want me to work
on "Straightforward Romance" with Jin Gu?

Do Young...

was hospitalized
for being at risk for a miscarriage.

I constantly nagged her
to take better care of herself.

No TV series...

is worth running around
regardless of her condition.

So what can we do?

You're the only one we have...

who can work on "Straightforward Romance."

That's right.

I know you exhausted yourself
filming the daily series...

and that you wrapped it up yesterday...

and were just about
to go backpacking across Europe.

But...

Can't you cancel your plans...

and...

help us out?

Sir,

you didn't have to explain
the situation in such detail.

Do Young's my colleague
and I should take her place...

now that she isn't available.

I'll go backpacking across Europe...

once I successfully wrap up...

"Straightforward Romance."

I'm at your service, Mr. Jang.

You...

You always know what to say
and how to say it.

I'm highly fond of you.

Pil Seung.

If you do a good job on this project,

I'll...

have you do your very first
two-part series.

Do you mean that? Is that a promise?

Of course.

But don't go yapping about it to others.

Anyway, just do a good job
this time around.

You get what I mean, right?

I highly understand, sir. Salute!

Hey, you're here.

I just received Mr. Jang's call.

Director, who is this?

Director Ko, say hi.

I'm sure you know her.
It's actress Park Do Ra.

This is Assistant Director Ko Pil Seung...

who will be joining the team as of today.

Hello.

Right.

Hello.

Why do you seem shocked?

Don't you know who Ms. Park is?

Gosh. It's not like that.
Of course I know who she is.

Assistant Director Ko...

must've been stunned by your beauty.

Don't just stand there and sit.

What? Oh, right.

What on earth is going on?

Why is Do Ra here?

Was she cast in this series?

The official meeting is tomorrow,

so what couldn't wait until then?

Do you want to adjust the schedule?

- Or do you...
- No.

Director Hong. I don't think
I can appear in this drama.

- I came to tell you that.
- Do Ra.

What do you mean you can't appear?

I clearly said I couldn't do it,

but while I was abroad for work,

someone must've relayed the wrong message.

I'm here because
I thought it would be more appropriate...

if I came to tell you in person
than over the phone.

But Ms. Park.

What are we to do if you back out
when we start shooting this week?

I'm really sorry.

Do excuse me, then.

Goodbye. Bye.

Sorry. Bye.

Do Ra. Ms. Park.

Ms. Park!

Do Ra.

Ms. Park!

Will you hear me out? Do Ra.

We start this week. You can't...

She's unbelievable.

She doesn't care.

Does she think she's that great?

What happens if she backs out?

What do you think? We cast someone else.

There are actors everywhere.

How did I come across her here?

She didn't recognize me.

But then how could she?

I have a new name,

and we last met
when she was a kid 15 years ago.

Mr. Kim. Did Park Do Ra
not sign a contract?

Didn't you tell me she did?

Are you serious?

A verbal contract's
nothing like a signed document!

Park Do Ra backed out.
What will you do about it now?

What?

How do you expect me
to cast someone else now?

I don't care anymore! It's up to you!

Jin Gu. I listed up actresses
who are currently available.

How about Bi Bi?

Park Do Ra's forever rival.

Look at her recent works.
She did pretty well.

She has a slightly different image
from Park Do Ra,

but don't you think she'd be good enough?

Bi Bi or Mi Mi, that isn't our problem!

You can't be here.

Go and get Park Do Ra!

What kind of disaster is this?

Wait.

Pil Seung. Go and get a bouquet.

A massive one
with the most expensive flowers.

A flower bouquet?

Hurry up.

Nice.

Tilt, and raise the product.

Here goes.

We're done. Good job.

- Thank you. Good job.
- Well done.

- Thanks a lot.
- Thank you.

Here.

- Thanks.
- The photos look awesome.

- Aren't they amazing?
- Yes.

Good job, Ms. Park.

What are you doing here, Director Hong?

Hey.

What?

We got this for you.

Director. I know why you're here.

I really can't do
"Straightforward Romance."

I debuted as a child actor at 15,

and for the past 15 years,
I never got a single day off.

I really want a break.

Oh, dear. I get it. I do.

But could you please consider...

It must've been really hard.

You worked for 15 years
without a single day off?

You really do need a break.

I'm well aware of
how hard you worked so far.

But this drama...

got a slot because you agreed to do it.

If you back out now,

that'll put us in a difficult position,
so please...

I might consider it
if the pay were higher.

To be honest, it really hurt my pride.

Does it make sense that I get paid
less than Jeon Ga Yeon?

We have a tight budget, so...

I'd love to pay you more if I could.

You cast Cha Bong Soo as the male lead.

I don't think we're a good match.

- Anyway, for various reasons...
- You dislike the male lead too.

Then you really can't do it.

Chemistry is paramount
when it comes to filming a romance.

Anyway, director. I'm really sorry.

Please consider my situation too.

Goodbye, then.

Wait. Ms. Park.

Do Ra.

Ms. Park. We...

Ko Pil Seung, you lunatic.

Do you have a screw loose?

You followed me here just to mess it up?

Instead of going on your knees to beg,

you say what? "You really need a break?"

We have pride too, Jin Gu.

Must we do this
to someone who isn't interested?

And just to remind you,

I tagged along because I had no choice,
because you bugged me to.

You said you couldn't go alone.

You punk!

Jin Gu! Am I wrong?

Don't take it out on me. I'm not a drum.

Darn it. You shouldn't hit someone
even with flowers.

Ko Pil Seung. Keep your mouth shut.

This is driving me insane.

Do Ra!

What a relief.

I could've ended up working with her.

That's a no.

My goodness.

This looks so pretty and luxurious.

Gosh.

My word.

Women who buy things like this
without thinking twice.

I wonder what kind of luck
they were born with.

- Oh, dear.
- Ma'am.

You look amazing.

Do I? Thanks. I'll come by again.

Okay. I'll call when we get something new.

I saw that woman somewhere.

- Goodbye.
- Bye.

Hey.

It's Do Ra's mom, that witch.

Hey, you. Excuse me.

Goodness. What are you doing?

It is you.

Look who's here.

I met my enemy after all this time.

Ms. Baek, it's me.

- Don't you know me?
- Gosh.

Let go of me. You got the wrong person.

As if I got the wrong person.

You lived with us, but 15 years ago,

you ran away
in the middle of the night. That's you.

You should take a better look at people.

- That's not me, so let go of me.
- Oh, gosh.

Oh, dear. Why, that gold digger...

Stop her! Get that gold digger!

You there!

That evil fraud.

Where did that gold digger disappear to?

I'm sure she came this way.

Is it not this way?

Is it that way?

What just happened?

How did we end up meeting here?

Who is that crazy woman
calling a gold digger?

How come nothing works these days?

Oh, my gosh.

What?

Is something wrong, Mom?

No. What is it? Why did you call?

What?

What did you say?

Do Ra said she wouldn't do
"Straightforward Romance?"

Mom. You want me to do that "at least?"

Don't you care about my pride?

Why should I get paid
less than Jeon Ga Yeon?

It's not a bad deal.

It's not bad enough to wound your pride.

And what's the point of not working?

You should work while they let you.

What do you mean what's the point?

I can't work for that.

So don't bring me just any project.

I've been feeling strange lately
and I don't feel like working.

I'm going to New York where Do Jun is
for about six months.

What? For that long?

You're out of your mind. That's nonsense.

Why is it nonsense? I can rest if I want.

I earned a lot over the years.

Wait, Do Ra. Ms. Park.

I told the production house
and the director you'd do it.

So this time,
for your mom's pride and face,

will you please do it?

No. I don't want to do it.

I made it very clear.

Wait, Do Ra.

These days, a one-month hiatus
is enough to make you fall into oblivion.

What if you lose your job?

There are a lot of
young and pretty actresses out there.

It's not like
you can stay in your 20s forever.

You can't be a top actress forever,
you silly thing.

You need to strike while the iron is hot!

There's a right time for everything.

Mom, Do Ra doesn't want
to do "Straightforward Romance?"

What if she steps away?

It will be a big problem.

What if she doesn't do this drama?

What's wrong with her?

Hey, Do Sik.
Go ahead and tell her to do it.

Hurry and go.

- She wouldn't listen to me.
- Just go. Hey.

Seriously, this can't be happening.

- This is hilarious.
- I'm the prettiest in this town.

I'm home.

Hey, my son. You're home now.

- Hey.
- Did you eat dinner?

I grabbed something to eat.

- Have some fruit.
- My goodness.

Hey, listen.

I just saw that lady.

- My gosh.
- What's wrong, Mom?

Who did you see? Who is the lady?

- Do Ra's mom. That vixen.
- What?

You know the gold digger.

What? Did you see Do Ra's mom?

Mom, where did you see her?

When I went out today,

I had spicy naengmyeon
with half-dried pollack...

at a cafeteria in a department store.

Then I went upstairs...

to some luxury brand stores...

to walk it off
while looking at some clothes.

And there was a woman...

dressed up in expensive designer clothes.

She was carrying a lot of shopping bags
in her both hands.

So I wondered...

what made a woman like her so happy.

I was watching her with envy.

And it turned out...

she was Do Ra's mom, that vixen.

Are you serious?

Yes.

So I talked to her. "Look who's here."

"Aren't you Do Ra's mom?"

Then she said no.

"You got the wrong person."
She said that and ran away.

She ran away?

Yes, she did.

She ran away because it was her.

If it wasn't her, why would she run away?

Pil Seung, while working
at the broadcasting station,

have you ever run into Do Ra?

What? Why do you ask?

You know why.

Do Ra's mom and your grandfather...

She flirted with Mr. Kim
and wheedled 30,000 dollars out of him.

We have to get the money back.

Hey, Pil Seung.

You work at a broadcasting station,

so you can get Park Do Ra's number, right?

You should get it.

Pil Seung, there's no need.

Even if you see her at work,

don't even act like you know her.

Don't act like he knows her? Why not?

Mother, please stop talking about her now.

Why do you keep bringing that up
when we're about to move on?

Whenever I hear about Do Ra's mom,

it makes my blood boil.

That's all the more reason
why we should get the money back.

Hey, it was 30,000 dollars 15 years ago.

It was a huge amount of money back then.

With the interest added,

it's over 100,000 dollars now.

I don't want to get involved
with her anymore.

And I don't want to do anything
that can harm Dad's reputation...

just to get the money back.

My goodness.

Hey. Sun Young.

You think 100,000 dollars is nothing?

How can we give up on such big money?

We should at least get the principal back.

That brat is all dressed up
in designer clothes.

Doesn't it make you upset at all?

Mom, will you please stop that?

Why would I stop?
It wouldn't hurt to have more money.

But Sun Young says no.

If I were her, I would say the same thing.

Ma Ri, try this.

The tteokgalbi tastes really good.

You like this.

Dad, don't try to lure me.

No matter what you do,
I won't fall for that.

I understand you're on a diet,

but you need to eat some protein.

Just eat one piece. Here.

I said no.

Leave her be.

She won't change her mind
until she passes out.

It won't last for long.

If losing weight makes you an idol artist,

I can become one as well.

My gosh. How dare you...

Look at those glaring eyes.

Ma Ri.

That silly brat does silly things.

Today,

Jin Dan is going on a date
with the daughter of Jeil Steel.

Yes.

The chairman of Jeil Steel
is a good-natured man.

I hope things will go well.

It's something unthinkable.

I'm just glad that he can go on a date
with their daughter.

They know Jin Dan will
take over the angel investment company.

That's why they agreed.

Why isn't Jin Dan coming down?

Did he come home late?

What? He left early in the morning.

Grandma is full of hot air.

Everything she says is a lie.

Gosh, Ma Ri.

How could you say such foul things
with your pretty lips?

Ma Ri, I told you
not to say things like that.

Uncle Jin Dan didn't come home last night.

Why did you lie
that he left early in the morning?

You could've just said
that he didn't come home.

I think what's foul is your lips.

What?

Cheers.

Why do you like me?

Give me three reasons.

I don't need more than that.

Why do I like you?

First, you're good-looking.

Second, you buy me expensive bags.

Third, you buy me a lot of clothes.

Hey.

I really like that.

I like someone honest and straightforward.

Gong Jin Dan!

- Open the door.
- My gosh.

What? Who's that?

- My mom.
- Open it.

Open it this instant.

Jin Dan.

Hey, Mom.

You didn't go to work today.
What are you doing here?

Listen, Mom.

Which brat is it this time?

Where is she? Where did you hide her?

I didn't hide anyone.

I had something to think about,

so I was staying in a hotel room alone
to chill out.

Isn't this nice, Mom? Look.

My gosh. What is this?

Hey, Gong Jin Dan.
Is this how you chill out?

I can't believe this. Where's the brat?

- Mom.
- Come on out this instant!

I guess
it's from the guest from yesterday.

Seriously, I was here alone.

So, Mom, please wait in the lobby.

I'll get changed and go down. Okay?

Mom, look at you.

Your makeup looks great today.

You're pretty.

Look at you.

My goodness.

Hello, Mother.

You're going on a blind date today.

What do you think you're doing...

with such a lousy girl in broad daylight?

I said I wouldn't go on a date.

I don't like that.

I prefer NS.

NS? What's that?

I prefer to meet someone
in a natural setting.

I want a fateful encounter.

NS, my foot.

When will you grow up?

Do you think your brother doesn't know
you're being like this?

This is why he wouldn't let you
take over the angel investment company.

Because you're being like this.

What am I supposed to do then?

The heart wants what the heart wants.

How can you do this to me?

I've lived only for you.

At the age of 21,
in the flower of my youth,

I met your dad
who was a lot older than me.

I was held in contempt for that.

You have no idea
the indignity I've had to suffer.

Don't you even feel pity for me?

All right, fine.

So stop talking about your life at 21.

I'll go on the blind date.

I'll meet her.

Do you mean that?

I'll agree to it.

Jin Dan.

It wasn't easy to set up this blind date.

If you marry into the Jeil Steel family,

your brother will see you differently.

Your brother won't be able
to look down on you...

once you have in-laws who have your back.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

I get it, Mom, so let it rest.

All right, son.

I booked the salon for you, so get ready.

You can't afford to be late.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

I was looking at my phone
and didn't see you.

That's all right.
I was looking at my phone as well.

Hold on. I think I recognize you.

Are you the famous Park Do Ra?

Yes, I'm Park Do Ra.

Anyway, thanks.

Watch out.

What the...

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine.

What are you doing up there?

You almost hurt someone.

I'm so sorry.

You almost hurt yourself
while helping me out.

Are you okay? I bet that startled you.

Yes, I'm fine. I'm glad you're okay.

Then...

Hold on a second.

You literally saved my life,

so could I have your number?

I'd like to treat you to a meal.

What do you mean I saved your life? Gosh.

It's all right. Then...

But...

Am I dreaming or what?

My gosh.

(Park Do Ra)

(Queen Mother)

(CEO Gong Jin Dan)

Gong Jin Dan,

did you really turn down
the daughter of Jeil Steel's CEO?

You imbecile. Would you rather see me die?

How can you blow her off...

when I went out of my way
to set you up with her?

Are you certain
Park Do Ra isn't dating anyone?

That seems to be the case.

Should I look into her life a bit more?

No, this is more than enough.

- You're dismissed.
- Yes, sir.

Mr. Cho, just a second.

Why didn't we sponsor this show?

Sorry? Which one?

The series "Straightforward Romance"
which Park Do Ra was cast in.

Oh, that. You turned it down...

saying we shouldn't bother
with trivial investments.

Did I?

As if I would've said that.

Don't you know
that the media content industry...

is one of the most promising fields?

- I want to invest in it.
- Sorry?

I have a feeling this show will be a hit,

so we should invest immediately.

Set up a meeting
with its production house.

Yes, sir.

Yes, I'm Park Do Ra.

I'm feeling dizzy.

I can't believe this woman.

My world is spinning,

and I'm feeling dizzy.

Do I have a crush on her?

Tell me. Did you think of a way
to get Park Do Ra back on board?

You see, Jin Gu...

Right, Pil Seung. Speak up.

Do you have any good ideas?

I took the liberty to contact Bi Bi,

and she'll do the show for that amount.

Seriously? I wanted to know
how we can get Park Do Ra back,

so why are you spitting nonsense?

Jin Gu.

I don't know about anything else,

but it's wrong to cling on to an actress
who clearly isn't interested.

In this line of work, giving it your best
isn't even enough sometimes.

The viewers can tell...

if the actors' hearts are in it...

or if they're doing it just for the money.

You saw her yesterday.

She ended up questioning her pay.

From what I hear,
Park Do Ra is a money-grubber.

There are rumors about her
doing anything for the right price.

- Really?
- Yes.

Do you know what people call her?

Snark Do Ra.

She must make people real snarky on set...

for people to call her that.

Jin Gu, let's go with Bi Bi instead.

The skinny actress
isn't even that impressive.

I'm not fond of Park Do Ra at all.

Ko Pil Seung, hey.

- Victory.
- Victory.

- Sir.
- Director Hong, you're here too.

Sir, what brings you by?

Wait. Hasn't Park Do Ra arrived yet?

Sorry? Park Do Ra?

Yes, we agreed to meet here.

Ms. Park, I see you were already here.

Hi.

Hold on. What's with the overall mood?

- Sir.
- Yes?

I really wanted to take a break,
but since...

you're someone I owe my career to,

I decided to be in the series
out of my loyalty to you.

Right.

- But sir...
- Yes?

- I'm sorry.
- About what?

I'm afraid...

I can't work with those
who don't trust me.

Trust you?

What do you mean by that?

What on earth is she talking about?

Look here.

Curly-haired Assistant Director.

You're right.
I'm skinny and not that impressive.

Due to my temper,
I see red and drive people crazy.

Also,

I value money over everything else.

That being said, you can work with Bi Bi
who apparently isn't a money-grubber.

Good luck with her.

I'll get going.

- Ms. Park?
- Have a good day.

Ms. Park? Why you...

Ms. Park!

Are you kidding me?

I may not have gotten down on my knees,

but I begged her to be in this series.

I called her numerous times
to talk her up...

and finally managed to persuade her
due to old times' sake.

But Ko Pil Seung, you ruined it all.

- What are you going to do about it?
- Sir, please.

- Let go of me!
- But...

Jun Ho, we already decided
to cast Bi Bi instead,

so please calm down.

What? Bi Bi?

Did Bi Bi agree to it?

Yes, she wants to be in the series.

She'll even be on board
at a pay lower than Ms. Park's.

Really? Hold on a second.

Chemistry among the leads
is just as crucial,

and Bi Bi is good friends
with Cha Bong Soo.

Bi Bi's a good fit as well.

Darn it.

I'm sorry, Jin Gu.

You...

It's all right.

It's fine. What can we do about it?

It's okay.

It's fine!

No, it's not fine.

Why couldn't Ae Kyo make it today?

She must have other plans.

As in what? Didn't she tell you?

We may live under the same roof,
but we barely run into each other.

That's actually for the best.

Soo Yeon, you're like a saint...

to stomach
all of Ae Kyo's temper tantrums.

- By the way...
- Yes?

Is your son still busy these days?

Of course.

He just wrapped up a daily TV series,

and another team asked him
to work with them right away.

Gosh.

The broadcasting station must need my son
for things to run smoothly.

He's so busy
that I barely get to see him myself.

Your son must be talented.

He's doing job after job.

These days, broadcasting stations
offer six-figure deals...

to work with talented TV show directors.

Yes, I heard that too.

But Pil Seung is still learning the ropes
and has a long way to go.

He needs more experience in the field.

Your son must be extremely popular
among women.

The broadcasting station
must be crawling with such beauties.

But tell him
to watch out for the opposite sex.

Some girls these days
can be so much trouble.

Tell me about it. That worries me as well.

Especially since my son
is quite the looker.

You're helpless when it comes to him.

Unbelievable.

Sun Young, since your son
has a promising career...

My cousin's daughter works at a bank.

Should I set those two up?

Does she work at a bank? That'd be nice.

I shouldn't set Pil Seung up
on a blind date?

But someone who works at a bank
is a nice catch.

Why not?

Isn't he a bit young to have his elders...

set him up on blind dates?

Once he becomes a main director,

he'll have better options
in the dating pool.

I'll make sure to set him up
with a girl from a better family.

Do you mean that?

Of course. He's your son, isn't he?

Also, I watched him grow up
since he was a boy.

I want him to marry into a decent family.

Soo Yeon, my gosh.

So make sure he doesn't date
just about anyone.

Got it. You promised me that.

All right.

Let's cheers to that.

Cheers.

Thanks.

Director Hong, thank you so much.

I promise I'll give it my all.

I'm already in love with the character,

and I know I can do a good job.

We're more grateful.

You agreed to join the project
the second we offered you the part.

It was a no-brainer.

It's a great series,

and I'd be working with Cha Bong Soo.

You're also the director,

so the pleasure is all mine.

I'll contact the production house, then.

Sure, please tell them
I'll sign the contract right away.

Mr. Kim, speak of the devil.

Yes, Mr. Kim.
I'm here with Ms. Bi Bi and...

What was that?

Just a second.

Jin Gu.

Jin Gu, what's going on?

Jin Gu, what is it?

- Mr. Jang?
- You, Ko Pil Seung.

Come to see me immediately.

Sorry?

Right now?

Have a seat.

It's okay. Have a seat.

Pil Seung, what now?

Because of you, we might have to scrap
"Straightforward Romance" altogether.

The main investor will step away...

if Park Do Ra isn't the lead.

But there are previous investors,

so once we start filming...

Once we start filming?

Are you going to pay
the production costs yourself?

Now that our main investor is backing out,

the other investors
want to drop out as well.

We'll have to scrap the project...

unless we get her on board.

We don't have a backup show
to play in its time slot,

so what do we do?

I'll make sure to get Park Do Ra on board!

That's it!

Clean up your own darn mess.

I can't reach Park Do Ra's manager,
so I'm going to her agency instead.

Please get me her home address.

Assistant Director Ko,
Park Do Ra's leaving for the US.

What?

The US? Where exactly?

I called a manager
who's friends with her manager.

She leaves for New York at 7 p.m.,

so her manager is currently
driving her to Incheon Airport.

What can we do...

You've got to be kidding me.

Darn it. This is killing me.

What's with the darn traffic?

Wait. Sir, hold on!

Sir, please drive faster.

I really appreciate this.

(Park Do Ra's Manager)

The person you have reached
is unavailable.

- You will be redirected to voicemail.
- What now?

Please leave a message after the tone.

Do Ra, please.

Where are you?

Did you already go through
the security checkpoint?

Park Do Ra!

Ms. Park.

Did...

Did you call me casually
by my name just now?

I'm sorry about that.

Things were urgent, and I blurted it out.

Ms. Park, I'm truly sorry.

I must not have been in my right mind.

For speaking ill of you,

I apologize from the heart.

What...

Did you come all this way
to apologize for that?

I didn't say what I did
to drag your name through the mud.

You've been working nonstop for 15 years,

so I wanted you to take a break
since I felt bad for you.

Look here,
Curly-haired Assistant Director.

Do you think you're making any sense?

You called me Snark Do Ra
because you felt bad for me?

You called me a money-grubber
behind my back...

because you felt bad for me?

What?

Ms. Park, I'm sorry about everything.

You can speak ill of me...

and punch me if that's what you want.
However,

"Straightforward Romance"...

Please be in our series.

If you agree to be on the show,

I'll cater to your every need.

Forget it.

Ms. Park.

- Who do you think you're grabbing?
- Hey.

If you leave like this,

I'll be fired.

Think of it as saving a man's career.

Please.

Are you kidding me?

Hey, Mom.

What?

You signed the contract
for "Straightforward Romance?"

Who are you to sign it on my behalf?

Mom, what's the matter with you?

What? A blank check?

Is that for real?

They'll pay me any amount I want?

Okay. Fine, I'll be there.

I'll come over. Hang up.

We're going back.

- We are?
- Yes.

Ms. Park.

Thank you very much...

for deciding to do
"Straightforward Romance."

Hey, you.

Don't let me see you again.

Okay?

The lunatic. The idiot.

He'll never meet someone like
the heiress of Jeil Steel.

How dare he ruin that opportunity?

I should kill him. He'll pay for this.

Goodness.

Hey, isn't that Ma Ri?

My gosh. She's 26 years old,

and she's with
snotty-nosed elementary school kids?

- Are you sure?
- Hey.

Gong Ma Ri!

What are you doing with these kids?

We're going to a karaoke. Why?

You'll go to a karaoke
with elementary school kids?

Are you leeching off her
because you think...

she's not that smart?

Grandma. You can't say that to my friends.

We split the bill.

She's your grandma?

- She's a grandma.
- She looks like one.

I don't. I look like an auntie.

I told you not to call me "Grandma."

Last time, you complained
that I didn't call you that.

Ma Ri, so is she your grandma or aunt?

The truth is,

she's my grandpa's
second woman. A mistress.

- A mistress?
- A second woman?

But she was high-school friends
with my mom,

so I call her both Grandma and Auntie.

I'm not sure what she is.

Hey! You nasty piece of work.

What did you say?

Stop it, granny.

No, lady. No, Auntie!

Mom, Dad.

Ma Ri. What is it?

Who did this to you?

Ma Ri. What happened?

Uncle Jin Dan's mom. Grandma Ae Kyo.

She grabbed me by the hair
in front of my new friends.

- What?
- She pulled out a fistful.

She pinched me and hit me too.

Is that true?

Did you grab Ma Ri's hair
and hit and pinch her?

Yes. I did all that.

Ma Ri told a group
of elementary school kids...

that I was her grandpa's
second woman and mistress.

That's why.

Should I let her off
for talking like that?

What? Ma Ri.

Did you say that?

Yes. She is Grandpa's
second woman and mistress.

It's the truth.

See?

You two look down on me,

so Ma Ri does too.

- Hong Ae Kyo.
- What?

How dare you call me by my name?

Yes. I'm your dad's
second woman and mistress.

You should call me "Mother."

How dare you call me by name?
What kind of unfilial son are you?

Treat me like that again,

and I'll make you pay.

Mom. What if they kick me out?

You stupid thing.

You shouldn't have said such things
just because you could.

Should I have put up with
Ma Ri calling me...

a second woman and mistress in public?

Everyone looks down on me because of that.

You stupid thing.
Are you upset that's what you are?

It's the truth.

That's the life you made for yourself.
It won't go anywhere.

You birdbrain.

Must you say that to me in death?

Why can't you side with me for once?

What's the matter, honey?

Our Ma Ri.

What if she's like this forever?

Look at these photos.

She's with elementary school kids.

She can't mix with people her age.

But I can't stop her.

What should we do about Ma Ri?

It's fine.

So what if she has younger friends?

Foreigners make friends
with people of various age groups.

Our daughter...

is pure-hearted enough
to be able to befriend young people.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Don't worry, okay?

How can I not worry?

We don't live abroad.

Honey.

Whether someone's
in elementary school or middle school,

if Ma Ri likes that person,

that's good enough for me.

As long as Ma Ri's healthy and happy,

what more could we want?

Honey.

Outside the operating room that day,

I prayed.

For Ma Ri to be saved.

I promised not to ask for anything else.

Honey.

I still feel the exact same.

Ma Ri's alive and well with us.

We should be grateful.

Let's not...

ask for much more.

It suits her.

Look at this.

Do Ra. You sweet thing.

I knew it. I knew you'd come back.

Mom. It's just this time.

Don't sign any papers on your own again.

Okay, I won't.

Hey, sit down.

I'm tired. What do you want to say now?

Do Ra. The new investing company is
called "Angel."

Do you know the representative?

No, I don't. Why?

Angel said they'd invest in
"Straightforward Romance,"

but only if you're in it.

They said they'd back out if you did.

They told the production house...

to give you whatever pay you asked for.

Really? Is that true?

Yes. It's unbelievable.

They must've recognized your talent.

My gosh.

But then,

pretty actresses like you
who can act too are rare.

Not just anyone lands a lead role.

Mom. If we pay off the mortgage...

on the Cheongdam-dong building with this,
how about we buy another building?

How about one in Hongdae?

What?

Yes, let's do that.

I'll look into it.

(KMS Drama Center)

Hey. Ko Pil Seung.

You're the best.

I knew you'd win back Park Do Ra.

You went all the way
to the airport to do it.

Good for you.

You do what you set your mind to.

She didn't rejoin the project
because of me.

She changed her mind
because the new investor...

offered a great deal.

Still, it all worked out
because you were there.

Good job. Thanks.

- Mr. Jang.
- Yes?

Can you reassign me to another project?

Instead of "Straightforward Romance."

Hey.

Are you being like this
because I yelled at you earlier?

Things can happen
when you work at a broadcasting station.

Hey.

What you're going through now
is no big deal.

Fine. I'm sorry.

So go for a drink and shake it off.

And give "Straightforward Romance"
your best shot.

I'll be watching you.

For a two-part series. Okay?

Good luck.

This is driving me crazy.

I'll keep running into Park Do Ra
during the drama.

What am I supposed to do?

No.

Do Ra doesn't recognize me anyway.

I just need to get through this.

Only this project.

Do Ra, your hair is seriously damaged.

- Really?
- You need to get your hair cut.

But I'm doing a new drama.

Then I'll put some nutrients...

into your hair and scalp today.

- Nice.
- All right.

My gosh.

What was that?

Hey, Cho Bi Bi.

What do you think you're doing?

You darn wench.

You stole "Straightforward Romance"
from me knowing I wanted it.

You stole "Passionate Girl"
from me last time,

and you're doing it again!

This is absurd.

Hey, Cho Bi Bi.

It's not like I'm desperate
to steal a role from you.

I wanted to get some rest,

so I turned down
"Straightforward Romance."

But they kept insisting it had to be me.

The producers, investors,
and directors begged me,

so I accepted the offer against my will.

Did you know anything about that?

What did you say?

Then why did they offer me the role?

I even had a meeting with the director.

How would I know
why the director had a meeting with you?

Maybe he wanted you to fill in for me...

when I turned it down.

What did you say?

And about "Passionate Girl."

The writer worked on it...

having me in mind in the first place.

It takes one to know one.

It's you who steals roles
from other actresses.

That doesn't mean I'm like you.

"Straightforward Romance."

I know you hit on the main investor...

to take the role from me!

I bet that's what you learned
from your mom growing up.

Your mom went around...

wining and dining people
to get you a role.

Everyone in this field knows that!

What?

Hey!

- What?
- Wait.

- Hey!
- Let go of me!

How dare you say such a thing?
Wining and dining people?

It's not like I said anything wrong.

Is there anyone
who doesn't know that in this field?

Everyone here is well aware of that.

Have you lost your mind? Get off me!

- Hey!
- Let go!

Get off me!

Bi Bi has a crush on Cha Bong Soo.

That's why she wanted
to do "Straightforward Romance."

She's mad because you got the part.

She's afraid you'd take Bong Soo from her.

What? Now...

She's being like this
because of Cha Bong Soo, that player?

Yes.

My gosh.

I can't believe this.

I will never let this slide.

Mom.

Are you sure you didn't meet anyone
from Angel?

I didn't meet anyone.

I don't even know who they are.

Why do you ask?

Seriously? Are you sure?

Of course, I'm sure.

I thought you knew
someone from the company.

That's why I asked
if you knew the representative.

Okay.

It's all right then. Bye.

Wine and dine?

Darn it.

What should I do with Bi Bi?

What should I do to get back at her?

Hang on.

So Bi Bi has a crush on Cha Bong Soo?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

- This is nice.
- Enjoy the food.

You two sitting side by side
make a good drama already.

Don't you think so?

I'm sure our drama will be a big hit.

Sure. We don't need to worry.

You two look great together.

All right.

Let's try our best
so our new drama will be a big hit.

Go, "Straightforward Romance!"

- Go, "Straightforward Romance!"
- Go, "Straightforward Romance!"

Bong Soo, let's get along well.

Sure.

Director Hong.

I heard Cha Bong Soo refused
to do kissing scenes.

Is that true?

How can we make a romantic drama
without a kissing scene?

Don't worry. I'll take care of it.

Did his girlfriend tell him
not to do kissing scenes?

What are you talking about?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Bi Bi has a crush on Cha Bong Soo.

That's why she wanted
to do "Straightforward Romance."

She's mad because you got the part.

She's afraid you'd take Bong Soo from her.

I'll make sure to talk him into it.

I'm good at scenes like that.

Ms. Park Do Ra and Mr. Cha Bong Soo.

I hope we will get along well.

The chemistry between the lead roles
is important in a romantic drama.

So you should get to know each other.

You know what I mean, right?

Of course.

Speaking of which,

the next round is on me.

We're going another round?

Park Do Ra.

- Park Do Ra.
- Park Do Ra.

- Park Do Ra.
- Park Do Ra.

- Park Do Ra.
- Park Do Ra.

Park Do Ra.

Cheers.

The writer worked hard for this project.

I'll appreciate your cooperation.

I look forward to your cooperation.

Let me fill your glass.

- I'll appreciate your help.
- I'll appreciate your help too.

Let's sing a song.

Now that we're here,
we can't just stay quiet like this.

- Bong Soo.
- Yes?

Let's go and sing a song.

- Song?
- Come with me.

- So Ri, let's go.
- I'm not a good singer.

Sook Ja, join me. Come here.

Bong Soo, I know you sing well.

- Gosh, no.
- You're a good singer.

Park Do Ra.

What's with her?

My gosh. We won't
have to worry about our drama.

They hit it off already.

Let's warm up a little.

Let's go.

I, a charming man loved by everyone

Fell for one woman

What?

What is she doing with a man
whom she just met today?

What are you waiting for, Pil Seung?
Come here.

Pil Seung, come on and dance.

She's so sexy

- Her face is so dazzling
- Dazzling!

- Her body is so dazzling
- Dazzling!

Everything about her is dazzling

Her face has the V-line

Her body has the S-line

It's just killing me

I want to go home.

I really want to go home.

Why is everyone so excited?

When will it be over?

Hey.

Hey, Park Do Ra. It's you, right?

Yes.

You look a lot prettier in person.

I can't help it.

I'll be your fan from this day forth.

Why don't you come and dance with me?

Wait. Please let go of this.

I'm not a bad person.

I'll be your fan.

I don't need a fan like you.
Just let go of me.

You're playing hard to get.

Do you even know who I am?

- What?
- Don't act like you're a precious doll...

when you sell your looks for a living.

What did you just say?

What the...

Let go.

Apologize to Ms. Park.

You grabbing her arm against her will...

and throwing that lowly comment at her
are considered assault.

What you did was caught
on that security camera.

Apologize to her now,
or I'll take you to the police.

Fine. Ms. Park...

I'm sorry. I apologize.

Are we good?

Actors don't sell
their looks for a living.

They share their beautiful souls
with the viewers.

What the...

Are you all right?

Gosh. Yes, I'm fine.

Thanks for helping me out.

Please don't thank me.
I only did what anyone would've done.

Hold on.

Where did you come across
a saying that nice?

"Actors share their beautiful souls
with the viewers."

Oh, that. Well...

I didn't hear it
from anyone in particular.

It just came out.

Since you helped me out just now,

I'll forget that you badmouthed me
behind my back.

Also, we'll be working
on set together, so...

I hope we get along.

Right.

I'm truly ashamed of my actions
and I deeply apologize.

I hope we get along. Thank you.

Let's get along.

Curly-haired Assistant Director.

Yes?

Have we...

met before?

Sorry?

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

Soo Yeon agreed...

to set you up with a young lady
from a great family down the road.

I'll find the woman who's right for me,

so please mind your business
when it comes to my dating life.

It doesn't matter if you're careful.
Your life will be ruined...

if you meet the wrong woman.

Just you wait, Bi Bi.

You threw a knife at my heart,

so get ready to have
your heart broken as well.

She's out of her mind.

She has completely lost it.

She's not the same Park Do Ra
I used to know.

I have something to tell you.

As you know, we need time
to get to know each other better.

Park Do Ra, Cha Bong Soo!

What do you think you're doing
sitting that close to one another?

Don't cause a scene on set
and please talk it out.
