CONFIDENCE QUEEN

Hide tight, I can see your hair

Hide tight, I can see your hair

Hide tight, I can see your hair

Hide tight, I can see your hair

Found you.

Were you that curious about me?

Did I appear in your dream again?

Are you still looking for me?

This is exactly what I wanted.

Rich parents and a guaranteed future.

It's only fair if you also get a penalty.

Am I right?

A trauma that will always remind you of me.

CONFIDENCE QUEEN

APRIL 2020

EPISODE 9

Say what you need to say.

Are you having trouble sleeping?

Are you having nightmares?

It's my turn now. That's only fair.

I'm going to be his nightmare now.

I think that's him.

Do you have a reservation with us for today?

Yes, we do.

Hello, nice to meet you.

Will you wait here for a second?

Let me grab the ingredients for dinner.

Are you sure that's him?

Let's just say a glow-down.

So, you're saying the informant Myung Jin-su could be the culprit?

We'll have to look into it first,

but Myung Jin-su went missing after he received the reward.

And a year later, only his skeleton was found.

Do you think he's not dead?

Nothing's more perfect than that in hiding his identity.

If Myung Jin-su is alive…

His son, who is his only family, would know something?

I got a really huge fish…

I'm okay!

This one… Gosh.

Look at this. Do you want to take a photo?

An inn would do all this for us? Terrific!

Actually, you're my last guests.

So I wanted to treat you to a hearty dinner.

Are you closing this place down?

Yes, we're getting fewer tourists. And I actually got a job in Seoul.

- I see. - That's actually better.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

Oh, that smells good.

Here.

Oh, that smells good.

Enjoy your meal.

No, wait. Why don't you join us?

No, I'm good.

Come here. This is so much food.

We can't finish it. Come on and join us.

By the way, it seems I'm a lot younger than you two. Please drop the honorifics.

- Can we? - Can we?

What's your name?

- My name is Myung Gu-ho. - Gu-ho?

Okay. Here.

- Gu-ho? - Yes, Gu-ho.

Oh, you know how to drink.

- Here, one more. - I can't drink…

- It must've been tough, right? - Yes.

You must be thirsty.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Yes. Cheers.

Do you live here alone?

Yes.

Actually, my grandpa is in that photo over there.

I used to live with my grandpa.

Then, after he passed away, I've been living alone.

What about your father?

My father was a matroos.

Oh, was your father a sailor?

Yes.

- One moment. - Okay.

Where did I put it?

Excuse me for a moment.

Let's search his room first when he passes out.

Okay.

Stop drinking, by the way, or you'll get drunk.

James, you stop eating. Are you here to eat?

I found it!

This is my father.

Oh, you look a lot like your father.

- You think? - Yes.

My father…

Well, he promised he'd come to my elementary school entrance ceremony.

And?

He passed away.

Oh, no. What happened?

But before he passed away, I got a call.

What call?

That if I listened to Uncle,

if I had a good time with him, he'd come get me.

Uncle?

From your mom's side or your dad's?

Oh, I can't believe I'm saying this to you.

Was that jerk, I mean…

Was your uncle tall? Or did he have a husky voice…

You know what?

I went to Seoul for the first time in my life.

I even went to the theme park, which was really fun.

But what's the point?

My dad wasn't with me.

Am I wrong?

What's the point of all that without my dad?

Dad promised to come get me.

Jeez.

Oh, jeez.

A special pass ticket from March 28, 2000?

March 28.

That's the day you were kidnapped.

There must be something we aren't aware of.

Did you find anything?

Nothing.

What's that?

Is that an annex?

CONDOLENCES SEONGJIN POLICE STATION

I found it.

DRIVER'S LICENSE

- It belongs to Myung Jin-su. - We found it.

There must be something in here.

GU-HO'S INN

The recent calls are all Seoul or Gyeonggi Province numbers.

That uncle guy.

Whenever he called Myung Jin-su, he always used the pay phone.

He hid his identity completely.

There's a photo.

How long have you been here for?

This is the stuffed animal.

It's the same one from the attic where I was locked in.

The photo was sent on April 1.

It was the day you were saved from kidnapping.

It's also the day Myung Jin-su made the report call.

But you know what?

If they conspired in this scheme,

was it necessary to bring Myung Jin-su's son from his grandpa's house?

Right. Especially before such an important event.

But it would make sense

if Myung Jin-su was also blackmailed, right?

Then…

Double kidnapping.

Where's Gu-ho?

He's downstairs, so don't worry.

Where's the money?

It's here, right here.

Are you sure he's okay?

He's over there.

What?

Where is he…

The man who kidnapped me also kidnapped Myung Jin-su's son and threatened him

in order to take the reward for himself.

And he ended the case neatly

by making it look like he tripped and died.

Myung Jin-su only did what the culprit told him to do to save his son, Gu-ho.

In the end, he got killed by that jerk.

Gu-ho.

Gu-ho.

I…

I'm sorry.

Gu-ho was kidnapped just like you.

Myung Jin-su had no other choice in order to save Gu-ho.

Oh, poor him.

Call me when you're in Seoul.

Will do.

By the way, did I make any mistakes last night?

I drank so much I don't remember…

No, it was only more fun that way.

I'm glad to hear that.

Thank you for being my last guests.

- See you. - Yes.

Right.

He's better off without knowing the truth.

It won't be too late even if we tell him after we find out who it is.

"James."

James.

Take care!

Voice phishing?

Employment fraud?

Come in.

HAHA JUNGHO

For fresh seafood, Haha Jungho

Haha Jungho Fisheries Distribution

For sushi, Haha Jungho

For a get-together, Haha Jungho

Haha Jungho Fisheries Distribution

For seafood, Haha Jungho!

- Hey, Yi-rang. Is that our new target? - Yes.

Ha Jung-ho's parents ran a small raw fish restaurant by the sea.

At first, they began by selling 48 tons of anchovies for bait as edible anchovies.

Then they jumped into the seafood business.

By bidding and fixing the prices, they won the business license.

Based on that, they became big figures in the domestic seafood business.

Ha Jung-ho inherited the business from his parents.

He's currently in charge of 32.9% of seafood distribution in the country.

Wow, he's rich.

That's not all.

You know Haha Jungho Sushi that's popular among Gen Z

and Ha Jung-ho Raw Fish Restaurant, which older generations go to?

They all belong to him,

which means he's the CEO of the latest trendy franchises.

Wait. But even after hearing all this, it doesn't sound like he did anything bad.

I mean, you can't blame the kid for what his parents did.

You know the saying that goes…

- Two peas in a pod! - Not that one.

Blood is thicker than water?

I knew it.

It's only normal for him to have a bigger flaw.

That's right. Ha Jung-ho inherited the scammer's DNA from his parents.

He doesn't just relabel imported or farmed products as domestic and wild.

Remember oilfish, the one banned from consumption since 2012?

He's been raking in huge profits by mixing that into tuna belly

and grilled toothfish.

Terrible.

Yi-rang, I have to say you're amazing.

How do you find such a piece of garbage every time?

Well…

Remember I went to watch a movie the other day?

I saw a drunk man who was ripping paper into pieces

and throwing it into a trash can.

And?

I was so curious about what was going on.

Why were you curious?

Of course you get curious.

Hey, it could've been a love letter

or a chain letter from England, you know?

So, what was it?

A will.

What? A will?

Where do you think he put that painting?

It's clearly not in his office.

Mr. Ray-Bang released his boys to search every corner.

There must be a secret space. Where could that be?

We need that painting to lure the culprit according to our plan.

I know.

Mr. Ha.

I'm begging you.

Mr. Oh.

You're putting me in a tough spot.

Mr. Ha.

- No one knows me better than you do. - Right.

Can you give me one more chance?

I'll make sure this never happens again--

I mean, how can I ignore that incident

when the news spread all over the country?

Get up now.

Then can you take over my factory?

Can you at least help my employees? I'm begging you.

Leave first.

For goodness' sake, leave for now.

He must be in shock. He looks unstable.

Is that how he looks to you too?

Something doesn't feel right.

Should we follow him?

Should we?

YOUR MOVIE

WHERE YOU ARE THE LEAD

A WONDERFUL HAPPY ENDING

IS WAITING FOR YOU

WE'RE ROOTING FOR YOU

I'm glad he's just leaving.

Anyway, who thought of installing those phrases there?

Whoever it was deserves the Nobel Prize… Hey.

Where are you going?

Wait, hey…

What's she doing?

Why's she picking that up?

Did you tape it all together?

So, this is the will you mentioned?

Yes.

Remember how an entire elementary school

was sent to the hospital recently after lunch?

Yes.

Does Ha Jung-ho have anything to do with that?

Maybe.

With politicians on his back,

he skillfully manipulated the media and put the blame on his subcontractors.

So, without any restrictions or penalties, he was able to escape,

and only the innocent factory owners had to shut down their factories.

Terrible

That's insane…

Wait.

- What's wrong? - What's wrong?

Wait…

Oilfish.

- Hey. Wait. - What the…

It's coming out. Let me go.

Have you been working out? Your muscles…

CEO HA JUNG-HO DEPOSITED 30,000,000 WON

Why did you send so much?

I thought you'd need some money to make ends meet for now.

I'll never forget your kindness.

Cheer up.

I'm sorry.

Don't say that.

You've been working so hard until now.

You did your best, sir.

There must be jobs for us in this country.

This makes me so sad.

Sir, cheer up.

Sir.

How can someone so old be that naive?

He is downright pathetic.

Secretary Choi, Mr. Oh's factory will be on auction soon.

Take that over immediately,

and place all the factory items we purchased back where they were.

Why would I pay in full to take over a factory

with old and intractable employees?

So, how do you plan to teach that oilfish man a lesson?

- That's… - Hold on.

Gosh, this oilfish is serious.

Toilet paper!

Are you going again?

Gosh, it's serious.

I have this operation planned out.

Gu-ho, you'll become a mailman

and switch Ha Jung-ho's movie magazine to the one that we made.

Ha Jung-ho is a serious movie fanatic.

He's so extreme that he watches every new movie.

Well, thanks to his con parents, Ha Jung-ho was born rich.

So, in college, he dreamed of becoming an actor

by directing and starring in the movie he wrote.

He was into Hong Kong gangster movies at the time,

so he wrote about a young and handsome gangster

who wanted to change the world back in the '60s.

- Boss! - Boss!

Look here, thug!

How about a one-on-one fight with me?

Everyone who watched it said it was childish,

but Ha Jung-ho was serious.

Although no one recognized it,

it was like a suppressed message from deep within his heart.

Perhaps his obsession with cinema was his only escape.

Was that movie even released?

I've never seen that before.

There was no way it was released.

It was just for his own use.

He lived his life just as a business heir.

But he was in the spotlight

when he was pouring his passion onto the screen.

Oh, so handsome.

Jeez, I don't even need to see it.

I bet it wasn't even B-list but a lame piece of garbage.

It's obvious since he has the scammer's DNA in him.

It was probably a ridiculous story plagiarized from here and there.

You got it.

He probably didn't know that it would be his last movie either.

Boss!

- Boss. - Go help him!

Boss, are you okay?

Let me go. Don't touch me.

Justice prevails.

When he wanted to go study film in the US,

due to his father's unexpected health issues,

he had to take over the family business.

Cinema is an unfulfilled dream for Ha Jung-ho.

"Weekly Cinema."

"If Paris, France, has Les Deux Magots,

in Chungmuro, Korea,

there's the Café Soran-Soran that filmmakers love."

Café Soran-Soran?

I've never heard of it before.

FISHERIES DISTRIBUTION CEO HA JUNG-HO

Gosh, this is boring.

"If Paris, France, has Les Deux Magots,

in Chungmuro, Korea,

there's the Café Soran-Soran that filmmakers love."

CAFÉ SORAN-SORAN

CAFÉ SORAN-SORAN

THE OPERATION BEGINS

Thirty seconds before arriving.

He's going down now.

Director Kang, are you ready?

Yes.

Good luck.

- Thanks for your cooperation. - Five.

Four, three, two, one.

Madam Kim, that was good.

Thank you. Bye, Director Kang.

Director Kang, how are you?

- Hey, Kang-min. - Hello, Director Kang.

- Let's talk outside. - Are you working on a movie?

I'm doing my best.

Hello.

Was that Director Kang Yun-sung of The Outlaws and Big Bet?

That is Director Kang.

Is this your first time at our cafe?

Yes. I read about it in the magazine.

Oh, that magazine!

Hold on. What should I drink?

Well…

How about Director Kang's usual?

The Director Kang who just left?

Yes! I'll have that.

- One moment, please. - Hey, Hwa-ryeon. We're here.

Hi, you're late.

- There was a problem on set. - I see.

- The usual. - Sure.

- Make that two. - Okay.

Make that two.

- Director Kim. - Yes.

I want to compress this scene.

But Mr. Lee, the climax will be too boring without this scene.

Why are you so extreme?

I'm not saying we should get rid of it but just keep it simple.

Is it about the budget again?

You know we have no other choice.

We should make concessions considering the situation.

I'll think about it.

Yes. Thank you. But we can keep this part in return.

Excuse me.

Do you know Dragon King Production by any chance?

Yes.

He's the CEO, and that is a rookie director.

But things aren't looking pretty lately.

What about the cast?

It's a female-led movie, so Kim Da-eun will do it for sure.

But Hyeon-u is the problem.

He thinks he was born a celeb. That brat is being so arrogant.

Forget about Hyeon-u.

If Kim Da-eun said she'd do it, any actor would be willing to do it.

No need to worry about that, but…

But? What else is the problem?

The role of the thug who devotes his life to the female lead.

Oh, you mean the short but intense role.

- That's a good one. You know it. - Yes. It's awesome.

A thug?

Is it a gangster movie?

He doesn't have to be good at acting, but I want it to be someone with the look.

Oh, that's possible.

We can reduce the lines and focus on the look.

Don't worry about that.

Just name it. I'll bring him to you now.

In a way, that role is my persona.

Okay. Don't worry.

What about Nam Gi-hun from Macho Man?

A thug who sacrifices his life.

The director's persona? Wow.

Thanks for the drink.

Hey, Hwa-ryeon. We're leaving.

James, this target looks too easy.

I know. This will totally end in no time.

How about chicken feet with soju?

Hagfish with somaek on top of that?

- You got me. - Yeah.

Let's get it!

- Did you leave the script behind? - Of course.

Okay.

MADAM GANGSTER CONFIDENTIAL

"In 1962, gangs ran wild around Jongno and Euljiro."

"But there was one woman who could take them all down with her bare fists."

"They called her Madam Gangster."

It was about a heroine?

Impressive.

It's probably here. Don't worry.

Man, seriously.

You saw it earlier.

It should be here…

You should've taken care of it! What if someone reads it?

We talked while looking at the script.

Mr. Lee, if anyone plagiarizes it, I won't let that slide.

Then we'll totally sue them!

- We'll sue them. - Plagiarize? Sue?

Excuse me.

What?

It was on the ground, so I picked it up.

Thank you so much.

Gosh, that was close.

Excuse me.

By any chance, did you read it?

No. Why would I read it?

Can I take your word for it?

Come on. I'm sure he didn't. It's not even his.

- Unless he's gone crazy. - Only a little bit of the beginning.

Did you read it?

I only read the beginning slightly.

He read it!

I'm sorry. My bad.

If you read it, you read it. What do you mean by "slightly"?

You… Wait.

- We've met before. - What?

You look familiar.

What?

- Are you from the film industry? - No, I'm not from that industry.

- Then? - Right. Here.

My name is Ha Jung-ho.

Ha Jung-woo?

You look nothing like him. How dare you impersonate an actor?

No, it's Ha Jung-ho.

"Haha Jungho Fisheries Distribution?"

I remember where I've seen you!

It's the commercial where you dance with fish?

- That Ha Jung-ho! - CEO Ha Jung-ho.

Have you seen it?

Due to my love for movies, I made a mistake.

Oh, you should've told me.

- I'm CEO Lee Seok-jin of Dragon King. - The CEO.

And this is a rookie director.

Hi, I'm Director Kim Hong-pyo.

- Director Kim Hong-pyo. - Yes.

Have a seat first.

- Oh, sure. - This way.

- Have a seat, please. - Thanks.

- It's an honor. - Nice to meet you.

I didn't know you loved movies.

Same.

I'm ashamed to say this,

but I learned about life from movies.

Oh, you love it that much?

People from different times and places

can share emotions by watching the same movie.

Isn't the power of movies amazing?

Movies are fiction,

but the emotions of viewers are real.

Gosh. That's what you're making.

You two are truly amazing.

That's philosophical.

That's how serious he is about movies.

I know.

- Mr. Ha. - Yes.

Do you want to finish reading it?

- Me? - Yes.

It's something no one outside the production can read,

but you could be part of it in the future.

So, why don't you give it a read?

"Part of it?"

Since you're a movie lover…

Are you interested in investing in our movie?

Well…

After reading it.

Of course. Please take your time to read it.

Can we have three coffees here?

- Okay, three coffees. - No.

Get us the most expensive liquor in this place.

My goodness.

This is good.

Once-in-a-decade…

No, this is a once-in-50-years masterpiece!

Director Kim here knows how to write good scripts.

Oh, I'm flattered.

The lead lost her parents before her eyes.

A FEW WEEKS AGO

Due to the shock, she lost her memories.

One day, she sees the tattoo on a man passing by,

and all the memories she'd forgotten suddenly come back to her.

The tattoo in her memory

is the symbol of the West Gate Gang.

She then begins destroying the West Gate Gang's businesses one by one.

Then finally,

she finds a man who's deeply related to the death of her parents.

Here's the twist.

Her parents weren't actually her parents.

And the enemy of her parents

was actually her stepbrother.

An older stepbrother.

Gosh, it couldn't get any worse.

You know what?

No movie ever went bad with memory loss and birth secret trope.

Still, don't you think that's too outdated?

- You think so? - Yes.

1972 ALL ABOUT SCENARIO WRITING

Oh, this was from 1972!

Right? I knew it.

- That won't do it. - The latest version.

There it is. This is the latest edition.

- Hey, delete all that. - Yes. Delete everything.

We can't use that.

We'll start from Scene One.

- Okay. Scene One. - Scene One.

Here's the evidence.

Our production cost is 20 billion won.

And we gathered 16 billion won in no time.

TOTAL INVESTMENT AMOUNT

16 BILLION WON

Now, we're left with only four billion won.

Now, what do you say?

Would you like to start your first movie with us?

It's only four billion won.

Mr. Ha.

If someone like you who truly loves movies invests in us,

I will feel huge support.

Would you like to invest?

A movie like this is exactly what we need in this era.

That's right.

- Yes. - That's right.

Invest…

- Invest. - Invest.

Invest…

Invest!

How can I?

That's nonsense.

Here. Cheers.

So,

your father was also a director?

Yes, that's right.

Well, perhaps it's because of his father,

but the whole film industry is expecting a lot from him, you know?

I see.

Me too. I took over the family business.

I think I kind of understand how you feel.

That's right. And you're a second-generation chaebol.

A chaebol.

And I'm a second-generation director.

We're both second-generations. We have so much in common.

That's what I mean.

Maybe we're meant to be.

We're aiming for our movie to reach ten million viewers.

Oh my God!

- Ten million. - Ten million.

Let's make a movie with ten million viewers together, Mr. Ha!

Let's do that! Ten million!

- Ten million! - Ten million!

- Ten million! - Ten million!

- Ten million! - Ten million!

- Ten million! - No way.

An amateur like me?

Come on. I don't want to cause you trouble.

Come on.

- Stop joking. Let's drink. - Let's drink.

Come on. Ten million sounds impossible.

Hey, listen.

- Rather than those investors… - Yes.

- The ones who are only after money… - Yes.

I want a sincere cinema lover like you

to invest in our movie and make a big profit.

- So please! - Yes!

- Let's make a movie together, Mr. Ha! - Let's do it!

This is worth money.

Yes.

I'm begging you. Please!

- Please! - Please!

Please!

- Please! - Please!

- Please! - Please!

- Please! - Please!

No.

Darn it.

Never!

Never.

If I invest now…

Come on.

Think about it. Okay?

If I invest in your movie now… I'm not even from this industry.

It doesn't make any sense. Jeez.

You know, I take back what I said about an easy target.

He looks like he'd fall for it, but he won't. Damn it.

Why is he refusing to invest?

- It's a hassle to curl my hair. - I'm dying.

He's a pain in the neck.

I…

understand him.

When did you two get here?

I called him. Mr. Mustache used to work in film.

What's up?

So? What's his deal?

It's not easy to approach someone you've respected for so long.

What's that?

It's like this.

The campus queen you didn't even dare to look at

suddenly asks you out.

Then you should be grateful and go out with her.

No can do.

- What do you mean? - What?

So, basically,

she's like a noble being from heaven you can't even touch.

So you don't dare to approach her.

Still, that sounds like a loser.

A loser? How can you say something so mean?

That reminds me…

If someone like you who truly loves movies invests in us,

I will feel huge support.

Would you like to invest?

How can I? That's nonsense.

Let's make a movie with ten million viewers together, Mr. Ha!

Let's do that! Ten million!

No way.

I want a sincere cinema lover like you to invest…

No.

Darn it.

Never!

Never.

I think I get it now.

A spoiled brat who has always gotten everything he's wanted in his whole life

becomes naive and timid

before the cinema,

which he has always admired.

So?

Do you now understand a true film lover?

No, I don't get it.

But if he's startled by something unexpected,

then I plan to have a little fling with him.

Then he'll find himself

signing the contract even before he knows it.

Mr. Ha.

You should come and watch our first shoot today.

Are you sure it's a place for me?

Come on. You're hurting my feelings now.

You're part of our production, almost.

- This is where we're filming. - I see.

Hello, sir.

Hi, keep up the good work.

How are you?

- This way. - Thanks.

Another production is filming on that side.

This way.

It's a huge set.

People on each side and…

Okay, we'll start.

Ready, action.

Cut. We'll give it a look.

- Hello, sir. - Hi.

- Loyalty. - Loyalty.

You haven't changed. How's your back?

My back has gotten better.

That's a relief.

You look great, by the way.

Oh, thank you. I aged a lot.

I heard the new script was good.

- Really? - You should show me.

Sure. He's the producer of my movie.

I'm not a producer yet.

- I'm Ha Jung-ho. - Hello.

I'm a big fan of yours!

Why, thank you.

- Sir, let's check the playback. - Okay.

- I'll keep you updated. - Okay.

- Loyalty! - Loyalty!

- Loyalty! - Loyalty!

- Kim Bo-sung? - Yes. You know, "Loyalty!"

Yes, I know.

- The action star. - Yes.

I'm a huge fan.

- We have to go this way. - This way?

Hello.

Director Kim!

- Mr. Ha! - Hi.

Director Kim.

You're working hard.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

Everyone, say hi.

Haha Jungho Fisheries Distribution's CEO, Ha Jung-ho.

- Hello. - Hello.

Oh, hello.

Mr. Ha sent a fishcake truck for our hardworking staff.

Give it up for him!

Fishcake truck!

- Thank you! - Thank you, Mr. Ha.

- No problem. - This way, please.

Okay.

Mr. Ha, take a seat here.

DIRECTOR

Oh, how can I…

Come on. We're not strangers, you know?

Have a seat. It's okay.

Should I, then?

- Mr. Ha, take your time to look around. - Sure.

- This is Camera A, and that's Camera B. - I see.

- At the end… - We use two cameras.

When the door opens, the female lead comes out.

And the sun shines over her. Okay.

- Are the cameras ready? - Yes, they're ready.

- Are the lights ready? - Yes.

Then we'll begin now.

Here we go.

One, two…

One, two, three.

Action!

Oh no. What the…

What the heck?

What happened?

- Oh no. - What's going on?

Is that part of the script?

No, I don't think so.

Gosh, this is bad.

We have a patient!

- What happened? - Call an ambulance!

Ambulance!

Is she okay?

What? I don't know.

Eat up. It's okay.

Yes, enjoy.

- Thanks for the food. - Thank you.

- Enjoy. - Enjoy.

Thank you.

Let's eat before the fishcakes get soggy.

By the way, how's the female lead doing?

Darn it.

Why? What's wrong?

I just got a call from Kim Da-eun's manager.

She's quitting.

She's quitting?

How come? Is it a health issue?

- Anemia from pregnancy. - My goodness.

Damn it.

This is bad.

All the companies that invested because of her will want their money back.

Tell them to take it.

I don't want money from companies with crappy attitudes.

But how are you going to film without that money?

I don't even know.

Okay, well…

We can't postpone it anymore.

Let's reduce the scale.

Reduce the scale?

Are you telling me to make a rubbish movie then?

No, that's impossible.

How do you know if it'll be rubbish or a masterpiece

- before you try-- - Of course I do! Isn't it obvious?

Then what are you going to do without money?

For goodness' sake! It's always about money!

Is that all you care about? I'm freaking sick of it!

What? Sick of money?

How are you going to make the movie without money? What a clueless dude.

Watch how you speak to the director!

What did I say wrong?

Do you want me to call him a jerk then?

- Calm down. - What a nut.

- Hey! - Calm down.

Come on. Please calm down!

That freaking…

The script is good. You'll get more investors soon.

What are you saying?

Who's going to invest in a movie without a female lead?

- Would you do that? - That's what I mean.

Would you invest in it? Would you?

Would you invest in the movie?

Would you take that risk?

- Would you do it then? - Answer me.

- Would you do it yourself? - Would you?

All right. Fine.

Well, how much do you need?

How many times did I tell you? Just four billion won!

It's just four billion! Wouldn't you want to invest?

Will you do it? It's only four billion!

Answer us already! Would you invest?

- Would you? - It's only four billion!

- I… - What?

How can I invest? That's ridiculous.

I give up! I'm not doing this!

Hey, let's wrap up!

Hey, clean it up! Take the equipment!

What?

Wait, what's going on?

Seriously, why is he hesitating so much?

He looks like he almost fell for it, but he just won't do it.

It's driving me insane.

Exactly.

Still, casting that major actor was a good strategy.

Thank you so much for your help, sir. I know you're busy.

No matter how busy I am, if it were for you, I'd do it.

I knew you were loyal.

Oh, right.

It's not much, but please accept it.

It wasn't even that difficult. Why so much?

What do you mean? It's far from your name value.

Well, if you need me again, don't hesitate to call me.

I'm free these days.

I don't dare to bother a great actor like you.

Once is enough for me.

No.

I'm not busy at all. Make sure to call me.

Oh, no, sir. Thank you for saying that.

I'm busy. I should get going.

- Mr. Mustache. - Yes?

Call me.

I've been struggling lately.

I don't even need a line. I could be a passerby in the back, okay?

You know me. Loyalty!

Loyalty!

I'll see you later, sir.

He's done his job. Seriously, I'm busy.

That man's really loyal.

When a junior asked, he didn't even look at the script or check the pay.

He said okay right away.

But what's the point? Our target ripped off his trap and left cheerfully.

Come on. You know there's a saying.

"You get stabbed by the axe that you trust."

What about that proverb?

If it didn't work at once, you can try it two, three, four times.

You're clueless.

That's not the proverb you want to say. It's "Every tree falls after ten chops."

Well, it's all the same.

How can the two be the same?

Yi-rang, you're not thinking about playing the badger game, are you?

Wait. No.

- No, please say you're not. - I'm pretty.

I'm so pretty. Hello, everyone.

Listen. Ha Jung-ho got divorced twice.

- So? Do you think I could seduce him? - No, don't take advantage of him.

- Don't do anything. - Should I make it shorter?

- I don't want to see that. - Don't.

- Like this. Here. - Don't. Hey!

No.

Nice. Very good.

No, don't do it.

- Nice. - No, stop it.

- No. Stop it. - All right.

Do I look good?

Don't do that. That's wrong.

Not the badger game, no.

- Please stop. - This is wrong.

THE GODDESS OF THE MAINLAND ACTOR MARY YOO

Mary Yoo?

I've never heard of that name before.

"Mary Yoo is not that well-known in Korea."

"Influenced by her father of Hong Kong nationality,

she first debuted in China and became a Chinese goddess."

"She's currently looking for her first…"

"She's looking for her first movie?"

Oh, it's him.

It's him.

Yes, Mr. Ha.

Director Kim,

have you decided on the female lead yet?

Not yet. I'm busy because of that right now.

Really? Then for the female lead--

Sorry, I'll call you back.

Hello?

Hello?

FROM THE GODDESS OF MAINLAND TO A STAR IN KOREA!

Fine. Then we'll play the game you want.

What do you want to play?

It's too cruel to call it a game.

Because the utopia that you dream of…

I'll turn that into complete hell.

WITH SPECIAL APPEARANCES BY PARK MYUNG-HOON, KIM BYUNG-CHUN, AND KIM BO-SUNG

SPECIAL THANKS TO DIRECTOR KANG YOON-SUNG FOR THE CAMEO APPEARANCE

CONFIDENCE QUEEN

She was different from the moment I first saw her.

A baby who just took his first step into the film industry is excited.

Bravo! That's impressive!

We should play along.

Here we go.

Action!

Where did he put that painting?

There was nothing unusual in Ha Jung-ho's movement.

Like the night of a full moon?

There's something between the two.

A painting like that…

If you don't want to die, tell me where you hid it.
