OUR MOVIE

ANY RESEMBLANCE
TO ACTUAL PEOPLE, PLACES,

OR MEDICAL CONDITIONS
IS COINCIDENTAL.

CHILD ACTORS
WERE ALWAYS SUPERVISED

AND SAFELY FILMED
UNDER GUIDELINES.

There’s a warm moment
at the end of every film

where it reads the names
of everyone involved.

Until that final moment arrives,

movies, like life,

race tirelessly toward the ending.

Ready.

Action!

And sometimes…

just when we think the ending is here…

that's when life begins.

OUR MOVIE

EPISODE 1

The two lead actors
of The Lonely People,

who delivered outstanding performances

with a wide range of emotions,

Chae Seoyoung and Kim Sungwoo.

Please say hello.

Great.

Please look toward your right.

Now please look toward your bottom right.

Could you look toward your left now?

A lot of photographers are here today.

And back to center, please.

Could we ask the two of you
for a charming pose?

You both look so lovely.

THE LONELY PEOPLE

We just received some very sad news.

- Jeha.
- One of Korea's greatest directors,

Mr. Lee Duyoung,

has passed away at the age of 70.

The press event
will now take a brief pause

per the production company's request.

5 YEARS LATER

You better come to the premiere tomorrow.

It's at 2:00 p.m., okay? Don't forget.

Have some decency, will you?

This is Chae Seoyoung's big return

and everyone except for camera, from art
and music to editing and color grading,

they're all from The Lonely People team!
On top of it all, I'm the producer again.

Every single person here
got their start with you.

If you don't show up,
you're no better than an animal, man.

So please,
come out into the world again, okay?

And as for Seoyoung…

Well, I'll make sure
you don't run into her.

Why are you bringing her up?
There's nothing between us now.

Look at that, he's alive.

Also, there's the thing
I mentioned a while ago.

Are you really not doing Love in White--

LOVE IN WHITE

"White"? What a joke.

THE CHASE

"Sophomore slump."

Do you know that phrase?

It's also known as the second-year slump.

It's when an athlete or artist

has a great first season or debut project,

but then takes quite a while
to get to the next one.

It's not so different
from our own lives, is it?

Even in romance.
Getting to that first kiss is one thing,

but figuring out how to land the second?
That's the real challenge.

It's Tuesday, the second day of the week,
and I'm your host Joo Hyunyoung.

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm completely fine.

I'm fine!

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you!

Skip to the 2:40 and 20:18 marks.

For what?

You know, the stuff
Park's only good at directing.

I don't know why,

but Chae Seoyoung being a divorcée

just makes it hotter, doesn't it?

Well, being divorced is hip now.
But are there only two scenes of that?

Quality over quantity, my friend.
It's Director Park.

I bet those love scenes are killer.

You're all disgusting.

Excuse me, were you talking to me?

Yes.

Get out of my way.

I'm trying to get off.

Hey. Isn't that bastard Lee Jeha?

Lee Jeha?

Oh, Lee Duyoung's son.

What, has he been in mourning
for three years?

No, it's been way more than three years.

Why is he here all of a sudden?

"THE DISCOVERY OF ROMANCE"
PRESS AND INDUSTRY SCREENING

Hello, everyone.

I'm the producer, Bu Seungwon.

Thank you so much for coming.

Hello! I'm Park Byeongsik,
director of Discovery of Romance.

Honestly, I was fueled by anger.

The rumors were nonstop after my divorce,

so I thought I'd just show them
what I could do.

See?

Isn't it nice
to be out like this for once?

I only came because you asked me
to fill a seat, but this place is packed.

I've shown my face, so I'm leaving.

Come on, where are you going?

- We still have stuff to talk about.
- Not interested.

Seriously, man?
I'll keep trying until you are.

I can't even write my own stuff,
and you want me to do a remake?

You talk about Love in White
like it's some film by a stranger.

This is your father's film.

Your father wasn't a stranger.

We're only connected biologically.
I cut ties with him a long time ago.

And who even likes
that kind of melodrama anymore?

Just stick to what you know,
the stuff that makes money.

Like that.

Melodrama or not,

if I lay my finger on it,
it rakes in the money.

I tried to portray the character

with more subtlety and depth.

I think I was too sensitive
throughout the shoot.

- Right, Mr. Park?
- No!

Of course not.

Seoyoung's still stunning, right?

She's still got it even after her divorce.

Wait, that look.

The stuff of romance films.

Looks like you're not done
with that story.

What's left to tell, after all this time?

Look, you can take
what you've been writing for five years

and shop it around, but it won't work.

You've got to learn to let things go.

I haven't made the movie
I want to make either.

But I feel like it could happen
if you help me, man.

I'm not asking you to make anything weird.

- This was your father's--
- Seungwon.

I'm not doing it.

I just…

despise that film.

You know,

what if we surround these alliums
with baby's breath?

Would that be weird?

If I did it, it might work.

If you did it, it might be a disaster.

Got it.

Why do you never
take your nice arrangements home?

This is all money, you know.

I know! It does seem like such a waste.

Then just take them.

I can't.

I'll get in trouble if I do.

Did you all enjoy the movie?

Here's Director Lee.
I had to drag him over here.

Director Lee.

This is Director Joo Inyoung.

She went to film school
and won an award at Mise-en-scène.

I'm a big fan.

The Lonely People was sensational.

Thank you for the kind words.

Ah. Jeha, Chae Seoyoung and I
all had our debut with that one.

Honestly, Seoyoung wouldn't have
come this far if it wasn't for that film.

Same goes for me.

I'll never get used to that.

- Oh! Speak of the devil.
- It's always tough.

Great job putting yourself out there!

- Congratulations.
- Good work, everyone.

- Congrats.
- What? Mr. Lee?

You're really here.

Yes.

Oh, I've heard a lot about you.

I appreciate you coming. My goodness.

Here.

I never thought you'd show up, Jeha.

What did you think of the film?

Well, time just flew by.

Right, because you get totally sucked in.

Who would've thought
it would turn out this good? No one.

You've won a ton of awards,
so you'd probably know.

Do you think we've got a shot
at winning anything?

We have to win. Absolutely.

But you know, no one's ever won
both Best Screenplay and Best Director

for their debut since Lee here.

It was a romance
and it pulled five million people.

Whether you're an actor or a director,
your first project is everything.

It's the start that matters.

It's what comes after that matters,
whether you're an actor or a director.

Sorry, but I have to head out now.

Excuse me.

Mr. Lee.

You're not busy, are you?

If you are, ditch it.

It's been a while. Let's talk.

Hello!

Hi!

Hello.

Have you eaten yet?

- Hello!
- Hello.

Good to see you!

How's it going, everyone?

I'll just write this quickly
and go change.

Lee Daeum, the busiest person alive.
Are you seeing someone these days?

Why must you rub salt

in my very open wound?

I had dreams too, you know.

In movies and TV,
everyone falls in love in hospitals.

So why is someone
as gorgeous as me still single?

Can't speak for your love life,
but Dr. Kim was looking for you.

- Give him a call.
- Eh.

Looking for me again?

Hello.

Hello.

TASTY RAMYEON

Come in.

Why, it's Da-da-da Daeum.

Wow, that must've been heavy.

I feel bad for always taking from you.

What kind of doctor lives on cup noodles
and instant coffee every day?

You're gonna end up with diabetes.

What the heck is this?

You know I don't like trying new stuff.

Exactly why I brought something
a little healthier this time.

Healthier, you say?

What, does it
contain protein or something?

Well, thank you then.

All right.

Mmm.

It tastes better too, hmm?

So you've been
leaving the hospital a lot lately.

It's a secret.

I'm just curious, that's all.

What, is there anything fun
going on out in the world?

Shh.

I know Mr. Park
likes to mix soju and beer.

Now…

Ready, action.

That's perfect.

What are you up to these days?

Uh, me?

What does a director always do?
Prepare for his next movie.

Now I'm really curious
about what kind of movie you're planning.

What kind of masterpiece would it be?

Aren't you curious, Seoyoung?
Pass me some napkins.

Napkins, behind you.

Oh, yes. Here they are.

Here you go, Mr. Park.

All right.

Why don't you drink up?

Looks refreshing.

It's a romance film.

You know, what Lee is best at.

He's making one with me.

You ask any director on a break,

and they always say
they're preparing the next one.

They make one hit,

and then poof,
they're gone without a trace.

But you said Mr. Lee's different.

And you really are different,
seeing how you showed up here.

What's so different? I'm the same.

But it seems like you've taken
quite an interest in me. It's a bit much.

Well, sorry if I made you uncomfortable.

What was it like
when you two were together?

Must have been a pretty tough shoot.

Your knack for rudeness
really mirrors your directing style.

I'm going to get some air.

You do know
humility isn't your thing, right?

I honestly have no idea
where that ego of yours comes from.

Hey now, come on.

Would you both cut it out?
Please.

At least I'm still making movies
one after another.

Isn't that what a director's
supposed to do?

Movies full of out-of-context
love scenes and nudity?

The kind people only skip
to whatever the "good part" is?

Don't you feel sorry
for those poor actors?

I don't know how you can laugh
after wasting such talent.

Go easy

on the soju bombs.

And those box office bombs too.

If this one flops too,
that's what, three? No…

four in a row, is it?

Hey!

What the hell did you just say to me?

"If it flops"?

It's only the premiere
and you say that crap?

- You rat!
- Let's not do this.

Mouthing off to someone
who's done this longer than you.

- Let's take a smoke break, Mr. Park.
- This little…

Get some air, okay?

Look what this industry has become!

Did you have to go that far?

That was seriously out of line.

You can't deny his movie was good.

The Lonely People?

Sure, it was solid.

But was it really a film
five million people needed to see?

- Will you keep it down?
- The big debut from the master's son!

You're embarrassing yourself.

We were all just curious
what the late Lee Duyoung

- would have thought about it.
- We get it. You can stop now.

That's the only reason
five million people went to see it!

Unbelievable. Please calm down.

Seriously, who does he think he is?

He's just jealous of you.

It's inferiority complex.

I'll bring him over,
so let's clear the air, okay?

What misunderstanding?
They were purely facts.

That's low, beating me down
with stone-cold facts.

Congratulations. And sorry too,
for killing the vibe.

Come on, don't leave yet.

No, I'll stay buried a little longer.

Not as Lee Jeha,

but as "Lee Duyoung's son."

Fine, get outta here.

We'll talk later.

CHOIDAEPO BBQ

Sure, there were some pointless nudity
and love scenes.

But I did it
because I liked the character.

So, I don't hate the film.

Though I don't like the director.

I'm sorry.

I know it doesn't mean much now…

But you were great.
I could tell how hard you must've worked.

You know,
my acting got better after the divorce.

Like how breaking up with you
finally set things in motion.

Maybe things only work well for me
when I end it with someone.

Should I just keep dating, break up,

get remarried, break up again, and repeat?

Want to make me a better actor
and date me for a bit?

You're drunk. That's enough for tonight.

Director Lee.

Do you still love me?

If you don't, stop getting upset over me.

Don't act like you regret it.

It's not because of you. It's just…

After five years of being stuck,

it feels like I'm rotting away. That's it.

NO SMOKING ZONE

Oh.

Oh, was that your seat?

No, I'm leaving. You can stay.

No, wait.

- Please sit.
- It's fine, really.

I guess I'll stay then.

GRAPE 100

I wasn't looking because I wanted one.

Here.

Take one.

I don't want it.

Come on, just take one.

It's really okay. Please take it.

You didn't film me, right?
I feel like you did.

- No, I didn't.
- I saw the red light turn on.

No. I really didn't film you.

All right, then. Thanks for this.

Actually, I got that
from a "buy two, get one free" deal,

so this makes it like I just got two
for the price of two now.

Hmm…

But it's really okay.

It's my gift to you.

Okay.

Thank you!

I just wanted to thank you,

that's all.

Gosh, that's hot.

Who was that guy?

Someone you know?

I'm not sure if
I could say I know him or not.

What does that mean?

Is he hot?

He's not bad-looking.

Are you serious?

Like you would know.

You've never even dated.

Hey now,

there's a difference between
"not doing" and "not getting to."

- Of course, there is.
- Mmm.

So what's it like
to have never "gotten to" date anyone?

Freaking fantastic. Satisfied?

Hilarious.

Hey, what's this?

Where have you been running around lately?

Did you have a fall?

Ah.

This was just a plain old fall. That's it.

You know,
you've been acting strange lately.

Wait, wait, hang on.
I had something to ask you.

Look at this right here.

What do you think?

It looks tacky.

What about this?

Gives me grandma vibes.

"Grandma vibes"?

What's the occasion?

Fashion's all about when and where
you're going to wear it.

It's for an important day.

The most important day for me.

GRAPE 100

LOVE IN WHITE
SCREENPLAY BY LEE DUYOUNG

Stop!

Are you crazy?

Let me go!

Who are you to tell me what to do?

I…

have every right to destroy myself!

No one…

has the right to destroy themselves.

The only right we have is to love.

It's cold. Let's get out of here.

The door?

I closed it.

How's your health nowadays?

It'd be strange
if I was healthy at this age.

Don't worry about it.

Maybe it's time you took a step back.

There have been a lot of
young people coming in lately.

Even younger than you.

I told you,
young people don't watch this stuff.

Who even likes melodrama anymore?

Looks like there is one.

Oh.

No.

You don't know me.

No, no.

I found him.

KIM HYUNCHEOL

KIM JINYEO

LOVE IN WHITE

You came to see Love in White.

It's a great film, isn't it?

Maybe for people like you
who want to remember it that way.

Do you have something to say to me?

Yes. About Love in White.

You really want
to talk about that film with me?

I just thought
maybe you didn't understand it.

Love in White,

it's a truly beautiful love story.

I'm sure it's tear-jerkingly beautiful,
since it's all fake.

The second my mom passed,

you two went right ahead and made it
like nothing was in your way.

I guess you really don't understand

what the writer was feeling.

The viewer's feelings matter too.

For some people,
this film could be a filthy memory.

You still don't get that, do you?

I just hoped you'd understand
what this film really means.

And why would I need to?

You've only seen Love in White
as a finished production.

When you have time,
try reading the first draft.

As a writer yourself,
maybe if you read it--

We're not in any position
to be talking like this.

I'm sorry.

You're sorry? After all this time?

Well, that's funny.

Enjoy soaking up what's left of
dear Mr. Lee Duyoung.

The legendary director's masterpiece,

reimagined by his son for the modern era.

That's a movie in itself, isn't it?

Right.

He's not the type to say yes easily.

We'd have to set it up right.

We've already got Kim Jungwoo as the lead.

That's right, Korea's boyfriend.

So if we can just
get Chae Seoyoung on board--

Okay, sir.
I'll explain everything in person.

Isn't it about time you took those?

I told you to keep them.

They literally say "Lee Jeha".
How long am I supposed to hold on to them?

BEST DIRECTOR - BEST SCREENPLAY

Next year,

Cannes is holding a special retrospective
for your father, Director Lee.

I'm getting the Love in White remake
into that lineup.

I'll get it in,
and you're going to make it.

Easy for you to say.

I think this could be your chance
to face everything head-on.

I'm not interested in going head-on.

I want to make something that's mine,
in my own name.

Do you even have any money?

Inheritance? Come on.
Everyone except Director Park knows

that your dad couldn't make
another film after Love in White

and just racked up debt.

You dumped all your money
into paying it off!

You know, this project…

LOVE IN WHITE

…actually went to Park first.

- What did you just say?
- So answer carefully.

If you keep refusing it,

it'll have to go back to Park.

Seungwon…

Exactly! This film
shouldn't be handled that way.

That's why I called you.

That's why I can't let it go.

Because I know
you're the best one for this job.

I don't think I have it in me
to do this right.

HOSPITAL
SHUTTLE BUS

TIME TO EAT

♪ Man, I was so close ♪

♪ Could've been on that bus ♪

Everything hurts
and falls apart at this age.

Why are you making a fuss?

Enough now!

Hospital stay?

You think money grows on trees?

I'm hanging up.

Excuse me.

Would you like some of this?

I'm fine.

Aren't you sweet? You go ahead.

I'm fasting right now anyway.

Ah. Okay.

Is there something on my face?

You're just pretty.

But you're way prettier than I am.

Oh, come on.

What's pretty about an old,
shriveled-up granny?

That's what makes you beautiful.

You really are much prettier.

You reached the end
of your savings plan!

Congratulations.

Yes, thank you.

How would you like to proceed?

Could you transfer the funds
to this account?

Of course, I can do that.

So that clears all the debt
tied to the house, right?

Must've been tough,
covering it month by month.

I'm happy for you.

Here's the key.

Five years was too long to pay it off.

I'm sorry.

I'm the one
who owes your father an apology.

Times got tough, you know.

It's okay. You didn't sell the house.

That's enough for me.

- Take care.
- You too.

That's that.
Keep up the good work, everyone.

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

Great work.

Let's dig in.

- Mom.
- Oh, my baby!

When did you get here?

Do you want a slice of apple? Here.

Don't forget to eat.

Try reading the first draft.

As a writer yourself,
maybe if you read it,

you'd understand the writer's feelings.

LOVE IN WHITE

How could it be?

LOVE IN WHITE
SCREENPLAY BY YU EUNAE

I HAVE EVERY RIGHT
TO DESTROY MYSELF

Scene 31 feels a bit flat to me.

What do you think, Nam?
You know, in Love in White.

The scene where they meet again.

Even when I was writing it,

I kept second-guessing myself, you know?

"Is this right?"

So I rewrote it again and again.

But you're telling me
it all came together?

That's the stuff
I need you all to look out for.

How's Seung…

No. How is Mr. Bu doing?

He never checks in since he went solo.

He's the same as always.

Seems to be doing well.

THE CHASE

BLACK SUN

You know how it is these days.
The market's tough.

You'll at least read it, right?
I think with a few tweaks--

Director Park sat on this one
for two years.

It didn't work out,
but the premise is solid.

Take a look.

Maybe you could give it a spin
in your own style, you know?

I'll pass.

Well, give me a call
if you change your mind.

Hello, Mr. Jeong!

- Oh, Mr. Park.
- Gosh.

Fancy seeing you here.

Right.

It would've been nice
to grab a meal together,

but I've got plans.

Sorry, I feel like I wasted your time.

No, please. Carry on.

I guess he knows
how to be polite to a producer.

I should get going.
Seems like you have plans with Mr. Park.

Yes, it's about the project
he's doing after Love in White.

Pardon?

Love… Love is White?

Oh, of course.
I heard you were at the top of the list,

but you turned it down for good.

Park said he's doing it in his usual,

you know, very sexual style.

At this rate, Love in White

might as well be Love in Red.

Hey, Lee!

If this one tanks,
how many in a row is that for you?

Are you really doing it?

You mean, Love in White?

I'm considering the offer.

I know you've only done one film,

but you're still a director.
You know how tacky that film is.

Of course, I know.

What, do I need
your permission or something?

To direct Love in White?

Would you back out if I said no?

You're still close with Seoyoung, right?

I've got her in mind
for another spicy role.

Can you put in a good word?

Don't want to?

No, I don't.

What the--

Why so scared?

You out of your mind? I'm your senior!

You're right.

Maybe I am losing my mind.

LOVE IN WHITE
SCREENPLAY BY YU EUNAE

We need some serious
stripping for this genre to work.

Yeah, sure.
We've got to make it work.

Speaking of which,
can't we get Chae Seoyoung?

Not like last time.

This time, we explicitly state
the level of nudity in her contract…

GIVE ME TIME TO REWORK IT.
COLD NOODLES. YOUR TREAT.

…so she can't back out of it.

Why are you so obsessed
with stripping people down?

They'd catch a cold in this warm weather.

Our investor's starting drama again.

I'll call you, okay?

Wait, you're leaving?

Aren't we eating?

I'm heading out for the day.

Yes, sir.

PYEONGYANG COLD NOODLES

This was your plan all along, right?

I don't have plans.

I didn't have a reason to do it,
but now I do.

Let's make it better than your father's.

Whatever you want to do,

I'm here to support you 100%.

Okay, so we got the director.

And for actors, let's see…

How about Chae Seoyoung?

She absolutely lit up

when she heard you were directing again.

Maybe she still has a thing for you?

Go on at your own risk.

Can't you see it?

Back in the day,

she was just a rookie who'd cry all night
from one note you gave her…

…and now she's a heavyweight
in the industry.

She was married but is now single.

So you want me
to reel in the great Chae Seoyoung?

If you don't lock her in now,
you never will.

The timing's perfect.
She's loyal, you know.

I don't want to make a film
out of loyalty.

This is all about investment, man.

If Seoyoung signs on, the money follows.

I'd have to write the script first.

I'm not writing with anyone in mind.

Oh, and like I told you,

I need at least two months
for the rewrite.

Is there a way you can do it in one?

The original's from the '90s.

Updating it to the present day
changes more than you think.

What we need is realism.

I need a consultant
for depression and terminal illness.

You have to connect me to one ASAP.

I got chills.

So brazen,

barging in
and shamelessly asking for everything.

You haven't changed one bit!

Jeha.

Can I get a hug?

Come on, man.

Wait, my drink…

Got it. Come here.

What are they filming?

Who is that?

- Please step back.
- That's pretty cool.

What is it?

Isn't that Chae Seoyoung?

Excuse me. Sorry. Pardon me.

Sorry.

- Chae Seoyoung is here.
- Can we take a picture?

I don't know.
For some movie, I guess.

What? Of course, you're way prettier.

She's not that pretty at all.

Hang on a second.

Wow, she's gorgeous.

I've never seen her in real life.

The dolly shot is gonna come right to you.

Can't I just take one picture?

No filming.

- Why not?
- No photos, please.

- Sorry.
- Can't I just take one?

- Scene 67, take 1.
- Action!

Cut!

Action!

Take 7!

Let me wipe my sweat first.

Cut!

- Let's try one more time.
- Take 15.

Take 17.

This better be the last take.

TIME TO EAT

Cut! Okay!

That last take was fantastic!

I never thought it'd be this exhausting.

I'm only doing this
because you're directing.

Geez, I'm sorry.

Speaking of, let's take a break
and do the next scene.

The water might be a bit cold.

I checked, and it was all right.

We got five outfits,
so you just need to go in five times.

Yeah.

The car was stuffy…

…so I'm taking a breather.

No, I'm fine. Don't come.
You guys go ahead and eat.

I'll be back after getting some air.

I'm hungry.

Look, that's Chae Seoyoung.

What? For real?

- Chae Seoyoung.
- Is that really her?

Why is she here?

What do I do…

Um, excuse me.

Take this if you need.

Uh…

I can't ruin my hair.

But thank you.

Oh, okay.

Well, would you like a sandwich?

I'm okay.

Sorry to keep bothering you
while you're resting.

Oh, this is rye bread.

Are you Chae Seoyoung?
Could we take a picture with you?

I'm such a huge fan.

I'm sorry.

She's eating right now.

- Sorry. My apologies.
- Okay.

Thank you.

I just thought you needed some peace
for your break.

Am I being too nosy?

Can I ask why you're filming with that?

The scenery's pretty.

I want to watch this later
in case I don't get to be here again.

Why won't you be here?
You can always come back.

I have to dive in there later.

Why?

I'm being chased with a bag full of money,

then I fight over it with the bag's owner

until it drops in there.

That's so awesome.

It sounds really exciting.

It's actually not.

I'm afraid of water.

It feels like dying when I'm underwater.

Sorry about that.

But why, then?

Because it's my job.

I have to endure it.

Thanks for the food.

I'm a big fan.

Ever since The Lonely People.

Ah, want an autograph?

Or a photo, if you don't have a pen?

If you don't mind, could we use this?
It has a selfie mode.

- Sure.
- Give me a second.

I love you, Seoyoung!

Thank you for the food.

Wait, I forgot to press the button.

Hang on, sorry.

There we go.

I love you, Seoyoung!

Thanks for the food.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

I need to pay you back for the sandwich.

It's okay. Go ahead.

Thanks. If we ever meet again,

I'll pay you back for the sandwich.

Break a leg, Seoyoung!

Good luck on the shoot!

Break a leg!

I love you!

My gosh. Unbelievable.

"LOVE IN WHITE" 6TH DRAFT
TERMINAL ILLNESS…

BU SEUNGWON

I don't like the consultant you got me.
They didn't even read the synopsis.

Can you at least say hello first?

How's it going? It's been a month.

I told you two months.

Was it the third draft last time?

Now, that one was good.

Was it the fifth?
It looks modern and ready to go.

How can a female character
just be so submissive?

What would've happened
if the male protagonist didn't find her?

No dream, no ambition.

I don't know what the writer was thinking.

Well, it's what your father was thinking.

I don't know.

What?

I mean, it's way too old-fashioned
even for something from the 90s.

Old-fashioned?

Anyway, I got a new consultant for you.

You'll like this one.

He's a very busy man, you know.

I worked really hard to fit you in.

Okay, I'll humor you one more time.
Can I see him today?

Maybe the assistant director
wants to join?

- I'll just go alone.
- I'll send you the address.

Oh, and that doctor…

How should I put it?

Well, he's a bit…

Never mind, you'll know when you see him.

All right.

You're only 29,

and you did Squid Game

and even I, the Executioner?

Your résumé is seriously…

Thank you so much.

Are you okay, not getting any rest
after your last project?

Well, this will be my last job as an AD.

Of course!

Producers are lining up
for your directorial debut.

Why would I direct? It's such a hassle.

It's exhausting. It's stressful.
Everyone wants everything from you.

You work in the cold when it's freezing,
in the heat when it's hot. Mm-mmm.

I hate it.

What? Then why are you still an AD?

I wanted to work on Director Lee's film.

That Bu Seungwon must be insane.

How dare he try to throw her into that?

Should I still run it by Seoyoung?

Are you insane too?

Just thinking about Lee Jeha
still makes my blood boil.

All that time, money, and roles
Seoyoung lost because of him!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Don't even say a word to Seoyoung.

Keep this project away from her
no matter what.

Yes, ma'am.

- Just shred it to pieces!
- I will.

BE AS HAPPY AS YOU CHOOSE TO BE

Here's your coffee.

Have you ever been sick?

I had a check-up a few years back.
Nothing extraordinary.

What about your family, your parents?

Both of my parents passed.

Well, my mother…

She was ill before she passed.

Hmm.

So your mother was ill.

For now,

you asked about terminal cases
on your questionnaire.

Those can't be confirmed
through basic check-ups.

It just doesn't show up there. Never does.

Then how do people
find out that they're sick?

Well,

they're usually carried in
when it's already too late.

Oh. Usually.

Mmm.

You know,
this whole "terminal illness" premise…

It's a bit cliché, I know. Way overused.

Nah. It should be used more.

Do you know how many terminal patients
there are in Korea?

A lot of them, and they're all different.

It's a melodrama,
so we just need a simple terminal case.

Now that's a cliché way of thinking.

My man,

terminal cases are never simple.

Right. Poor choice of words.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize to me.

How long does the patient have?

You know, in your movie.

I'm a doctor who actually understands
dramatic license.

How long would be appropriate?
That's what I came to ask.

I think…

I want to be a director in my next life
instead of a doctor.

You guys make up whatever you want.

Love, death…

Well, yeah.

How about a year?

Is that too long? Six months?

A year or six months,
which is it?

You've got to make a choice.

That's a massive difference.

Six months.

Six months?

Hmm.

Hang on. Let's see…

Hey, where are you?
You're still here, right?

Want to do some consulting?

Is that so?

Oh, I see.

Mmm.

Dr. Lee probably doesn't know yet either.

I should head down too.

All right.

Follow me.

Cause of death was shock.

It happened just once,

but for this patient, that once was fatal.

Excuse me.

That's why it ended so suddenly.

That's why

illnesses are so scary.

You can't stop them,

you can't reverse them.
They happen so fast.

The shock episodes become more frequent
as the condition worsens.

And yes, they're painful.

Almost like getting shot.

Like your whole body is torn apart.

Yes?

Ah. I'll head back up.

They're calling for me.

Wait here,
and she'll be right over.

Sorry? Who?

The one you're looking for.

Carry on.

OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES

THE LATE KIM MINJEONG

Minjeong…

TIME TO EAT

Hey.
Is there another doctor I can consult?

This one's just a bit weird.

Yes.

Is that so?

- Yes. All right.
- Hang on. I have to go.

Yes, I understand.

What is it?

Hello.

I'm not really sure how this works…

I just wanted to ask if we can
use flowers other than chrysanthemums.

Maybe something like ranunculus or lilies?

You know, like…

Something a bit more colorful and bright.

I don't know how to put it.

Kind of like wedding decorations, I guess?

And for the portrait area,

I was thinking
maybe alliums or baby's breath?

In the funeral hall?

Yes, the funeral hall.

Actually, can we
change the location entirely?

I'd prefer it not be at a funeral home.

Nothing too formal or traditional.

Is that even allowed?

That's what I'm asking. Is it?

Honestly, it's my first week on the job.
But I'll find out for you.

Thank you.

Could I just get your card?

FUNERAL DIRECTOR, KIM JIHO

HANKUK UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
FUNERAL HOME

Thank you.

Where have you been?

Me?

Yes, you.

You were looking for me.

I was?

Are you the one
from the convenience store?

And also…

at Cinema Jongno, right?

We meet again.

Are you--

Yes.

That's me too.

I heard you needed a consultant.

Are you a doctor? Or a nurse?

Neither.

I'm your consultant,

the terminal patient, Lee Daeum.

I'm not looking to cast someone
in a documentary.

Hello!

My name is Lee Daeum, and I'm an actress.

Try persuading Seoyoung
until production begins,

and if she says yes,
then the rookie can go.

I want to do that movie.

I really want

to make this movie with you.
