Ma'am.

Let go of me.

Your husband will be home soon.

I told you to let go.

- Did she really slap her? - Cut.

That looked so real.

It's been a while since I slapped anyone. I'm losing my touch.

Director Ju. Let's try this again.

I might have clenched my teeth too hard when I shook off her hands.

Didn't you see some wrinkles?

I think it looked good.

Okay.

Let's roll again.

Let's try again.

Ma'am.

Your husband will be home soon.

I told you to let go of me.

Cut. Okay.

That was great. Let's go to the next scene.

No. Let's do it again!

I think it looked good.

Let's do it again.

We'll do it again.

Let's roll again.

I told you to let go!

That crazy...

Don't do anything.

Let go. That lunatic...

- keeps on doing that. - My gosh.

She's divorcing her husband, so she's a little sensitive.

Again?

But why is she taking it out on Chung Ja?

Let go!

Cut.

I think we have enough takes for this scene.

I haven't been on a roll like this in a while.

Let's try one last time.

One last time.

Unbelievable.

Hui Yeong. We really have to get going now. It's time.

Let's go. That's enough.

Get up.

What are you doing here?

Come on.

Who are you?

- What are you doing? - I should be asking you!

What is this?

- What's going on? - I don't know.

Wait. I'm not done with my scene.

You just approved the take, right?

Then you're done. Come with me.

- Hold on. - Just come out already.

Wait.

Who is he?

What are you doing right now?

I should be asking you that. What are you doing?

Acting?

Haven't you learned your lesson even after that accident?

Besides,

you want to restart your career just to be treated like this?

That's because...

this is the kind of treatment I deserve for now.

Exactly, my point. Let's just go.

Don't put up with this humiliation any longer.

I didn't expect to be treated well when I decided to come back.

I'm Bong Chung Ja right now, not Lim Se Ra.

If I lose this opportunity,

I'll end up as an extra, waiting for another chance...

not knowing how long it will take.

If I leave like this now,

my career is over.

- We filmed this scene. - Yes.

Director. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I thought you left.

I can't leave first when my senior actress is still here.

Let's wrap up here for the day.

- Clean up. - Okay.

- Good work. - See you tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

This is why I don't want to work with no-name extras.

Where are your manners?

How dare you leave the scene before me?

As for the guy from earlier...

He's...

He's my manager.

He was overly motivated.

Managers are as good as the actresses they manage.

How dare he raise his voice so rudely at the shoot?

Well...

I'll talk to the director and redo the scene.

As if you have any power.

Ms. Han.

Let's go.

Why did you come all the way here?

It sounded like there was something you wanted to discuss on the phone.

We can talk on our way.

Chung Ja.

Chung Ja, that must've hurt a lot.

Oh, no. Put this on your face.

Gosh, that was a tough scene.

Thank you for your help.

It was you who did all the work.

Your face is puffy because of the weight gain.

Now, it's puffier.

- My gosh. - It was me who did all the work.

You drive me crazy.

Bong. You've been away from the industry for a long time,

so you must've forgotten some things.

You had to get slapped anyway,

so you should've gone down properly in the first take.

Do you know how much time we wasted because of you?

Who are you?

Well...

Nice to meet you.

I'm Bong Chung Ja's...

He's my manager.

I thought I might be busy,

so I got myself a manager.

Oh, my.

How do you know if you'll be busy or not?

Why did you hire a manager already?

So you were her manager. Oh, my.

Even a meeting like this must be fate.

This calls for a get-together.

Chung Ja had a tough day today.

- Let's go and have a get-together. - No.

- Let's drink away this day. - No.

- Drown out today with a drink. - No. I...

- No. Let's not do this. - Let's go.

- My gosh. Let's just go. - No.

- Listen. - I'll buy you a drink.

I'm not coming unless it's an omakase meal.

My gosh.

So we can place an order with this?

It's like living in a new world.

Chung Ja, I'm buying today. Order everything you want.

Are you sure you lost your memories?

You weren't in a vegetative state for 25 years.

Are you putting on an act?

Why would I do something like that?

- I really don't remember anything. - Your order has been placed.

It's frustrating for me too.

How did I end up like this? What kind of life did I lead?

Who knows? You might have been happy.

You used to be so skinny. Seeing how chubby you are,

your life could've been better than you think.

- Tae Sook. - Yes?

Can I beat up your husband?

Chung Ja. Come on, he's still my husband.

Let me beat him up.

Seriously. Why would you say something so silly like that?

- Bye. - What?

- You're leaving? - Please excuse me.

- My gosh. - I'll get going.

I'm sorry. This is our first meeting.

But we were too busy talking about our old days. How rude of us.

And you're not going anywhere.

Join us on a good day like today.

I forgot to take out my laundry from the washing machine.

You didn't take out your laundry. You can wash it again.

It's going to smell even if you hang it now.

Sit back down. She had her first shoot today.

Come on.

I'm Min Tae Sook.

I'm the closest thing Chung Ja has.

You couldn't find her for over 20 years.

If you're the closest thing she has, then...

You must know who I am since I'm quite famous.

I'm Gu Nam Ju.

I'm Dokgo Cheol.

Even your name is so cool.

I was so surprised earlier.

What was that at the shoot? Come on. Seriously.

You grabbed her wrist and pulled her out.

I thought I was watching a drama.

What's your relationship with her?

I told you earlier. He's just my manager.

Why does an extra need a manager?

- Are you guys dating? - Right?

Did you guys move in together when she disappeared?

Right? Aren't I right?

- Never. - Never.

Right, that can't be true. He's way out of her league.

Come on.

Hey, Gu Dae Pal.

Don't call me by my real name when we're out.

How dare you call me by my name, Bong Chung Ja.

How dare I?

You called me by my name.

How dare you point your finger at me?

My gosh. They used to fight like this all the time.

They always fought whenever they saw each other.

They seemed to get along well in the drama back then.

Is that so? My gosh.

Hey, I'm a celebrity.

By the way,

have we met before?

- You guys have met before? - Hold on.

I'm not sure. I don't remember.

Mr. Dokgo.

Isn't Busan your hometown?

How did you know?

See? You had to be from Busan.

Your accent gave it away.

You're speaking standard Korean,

but your Busan accent slips in at the end.

I know because my mother's hometown is Busan.

I thought I had fixed my accent. But you can tell?

I had no idea.

You're really not from Seoul?

Now that I think of it, you have quite a bond with Busan.

Remember how you went to the police station in Busan?

My gosh, why would you bring that up?

Do you know any detectives from police stations in Busan?

I can't think of anyone. I moved to Seoul a long time ago.

Is something wrong?

Chung Ja was interested in this detective from Busan.

It's ancient history, though.

My goodness. What are you talking about?

I was never interested in the detective.

Come on. I think he was a rookie detective.

He was totally your type.

Not at all. Seriously, he wasn't my type.

He could never be my type.

I get that he wasn't your type, but you don't have to emphasize.

I guess he was far from being her type.

Let's be honest.

If the detective asked you out, you would've said yes. Right?

My career was at its peak back then.

Why would I go out with a rookie detective?

Have you lost your mind? My gosh.

He had absolutely no clue how to dress.

And his face was so tanned as if it were stained with dirt.

Stained with dirt?

That's how tanned he was.

That wasn't all.

Whenever he opened his mouth, he spoke with that hideous accent.

My gosh.

Why would the national queen, Lim Se Ra,

date someone like him unless she was shot in the head?

Don't you agree?

Sure.

You sure must think so. Don't you?

Seriously.

Whatever you're imagining, imagine the worst.

I guess this had never crossed your mind.

That the rookie detective...

might not have liked you first.

Right.

We must respect the detective's opinion too.

It was clear that I was way out of his league.

How could he ever turn me down?

Well, you must consider the detective's type too.

You see.

I'm everyone's type.

I mean, I was.

If I were that detective,

I wouldn't like Lim Se Ra.

I mean, I wouldn't have then. That's all.

You two make a great couple. What a beautiful pair.

Stop talking nonsense. Just get in.

Chung Ja, we should go for another round.

- We should sing a duet. - Just go.

Never hurt other people like this again

- It's enough that you hurt me - My gosh.

- We'll get going first. - Okay.

Chung Ja!

- Sir, let's go. - Chung Ja.

Let's go.

Whatever.

Use the other door.

Gu Nam Ju used to be so handsome back in the day.

My gosh, time did a number on him.

Oh, dear.

So that's where it was. It's my precious supplement. Gosh.

I sat on it.

It's all the same once it goes down.

Do you want it? Should I split it?

Forget it.

Suit yourself.

It seems you can stomach pretty much everything.

But I wonder why you particularly hated Lim Se Ra.

I can stomach anything,

but I have a nasty temper to wait on the queen.

Gosh, your breath stinks.

Look that way when you talk.

What? Why?

What was that?

Come on.

By the way,

The woman from earlier, Tae Sook. Is she trustworthy?

Of course.

She's like my sister.

We lost touch for a long time, and I don't hold it against her.

Tae Sook must have been busy, trying to make a living.

It must have been tough on her too.

Don't trust anyone for now.

Are you suspecting Tae Sook?

I understand that you two are close,

but don't trust anyone until you get your memory back.

Anyone could be the culprit.

What were you going to say earlier?

Later.

It must've been important for you to have come to the shoot.

What is it?

Didn't you say you'd get me...

the witness's contact information from the Obong Intersection Case?

But I couldn't reach the witness, so when I checked,

it was a burner phone.

If I leave like this now,

my career is over.

I'll tell you once things get better.

What were you going to say earlier?

Later.

I'll tell you once things get better.

What did he want to talk about?

Curiosity is driving me crazy.

Stop!

You need to chop both the carrots and potatoes.

You've been chopping only carrots.

I was too focused.

Did a few days away from work give your brain a break too?

Well...

Actually, I wanted to talk to you about something.

This will be my last month here.

Don't tell me...

you're quitting because you have too many carrots to cut.

Gosh, no. It's not about the carrots.

I'm making a career change.

- What? A career change? - What are you talking about?

- You can't leave. - What are you going to do?

- You can't quit. - This is so sad.

I'm sorry.

If I have to skip work again like last time,

I'll be an inconvenience here.

I wanted to take this opportunity...

to pursue what I really wanted to do.

- Gosh. - We should congratulate you.

But you should still stay. This is a very good job.

- Right. - You should reconsider.

- Where are you going? - Seriously.

What have you been up to?

Have you been following a celebrity?

Give them to me.

Hey, you've turned into a stalker fan now?

I'm not a stalker fan. I'm investigating.

Being a stalker fan sounds better.

You're a traffic cop. Just issue tickets.

Why are you investigating?

If you're free, go and make me coffee.

Yes, sir.

If she's been a target for 25 years,

the culprit is most likely from her close circle.

Rewind back to the beginning.

Could you rewind to before these two cars appear?

Could you send it over to my phone?

I want all the footage from the past week through today.

- Hello. - Can I watch the CCTV footage?

The footage hasn't been saved for a while.

Is that so?

(Under surveillance)

(No Parking or Stopping)

Can I check the CCTV footage?

You look great now.

How beautiful.

This is excellent.

- All right. Good work. - Good work.

- Great job. - She's the best.

- She's the best. - Amazing!

- The Queen of Cannes is the best. - Gosh, stop it.

- She's the best actress. - Good work.

- Thank you. - You're the best.

- Great work. - Gosh, you look beautiful.

- Let's clean up. - Sir.

- Let's check it. - That's great.

Tell Mr. Kang not to book photo shoots with magazines.

Do you know how difficult it is to stick to my diet for this?

When I do printed ads, I at least get paid a lot.

But you can capture...

your beautiful moment with photo shoots.

Tell him to book only commercials or photo shoots abroad for me.

I want a sense of mystery with my image,

so I don't want to come across as redundant.

You have a meeting with the director of an environmental documentary.

Cancel it.

Right. What about the renovation? Did you tell him?

I told you I'd make that happen.

Get a sponsor for the renovation.

To maintain a sense of mystery,

she said she'd never reveal her house.

And for the next photo shoot, she wants to go to Paris...

to emphasize her award from the Cannes Film Festival.

- She asked for a private plane. - You punk.

Filter out what you report to me.

A private plane?

- You've got to be kidding me. - Sir.

This is an urgent matter. Could you approve of this?

She said it was the cost of the rookies riding her coattails.

When she was a rookie,

she benefited from the same system. Darn it.

What about the environmental documentary?

She's been painting herself...

as an environmental enthusiast on social media.

How does she plan on getting out of this commitment?

What do you expect me to do?

What?

Right. What should we do?

Come on.

("Jewellery Store Girl")

You have the leading role.

Go Hui Yeong has a supporting role.

You were afraid I might say no,

so you left that part out on purpose.

Se Ra.

Not even Lim Se Ra was that low.

I'll contact the documentary's director.

Off you go.

Yes, sir.

Bye.

Once you submit your parents' form,

you're 2ONE Entertainment's trainee from today.

Make sure you behave in public.

Didn't I tell you?

Training is not allowed without parental consent.

If your parents are overseas, don't you have relatives here?

Well, I do have an aunt.

- A maternal aunt? - Yes.

Have her sign it.

Time for attendance soon.

Today's verification code is 4829.

It's 4829.

Make sure to verify within...

five minutes to mark your attendance.

- Yes, ma'am. - Yes, ma'am.

(Attendance recorded)

(Cautious: Hot)

That's it. Good girl.

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

Enjoy.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Ma'am.

("Love Is Not a Crime")

Let go of me.

Your husband will be home soon.

- I told you to let go of me. - Ma'am.

(Contacts)

Ma'am.

- Yes? - I asked for more pickled radish.

It says "self-serve" in big letters here.

Stay put. I'll get it for you.

What do you think? Don't you look younger than before?

I contoured your jawline to make it slimmer.

When I make it big,

I'll pay you back for all the makeup.

Pay me back? What are you talking about?

I owe you a debt of gratitude.

"A debt of gratitude?"

Come on.

Remember? You took me in when I was nothing...

and helped me grow.

Thanks to you, I've come this far.

Right. You were a total baby back then.

But now, you've grown up enough to watch over me.

Se Ra, you'll bounce back in no time.

And you're going to achieve even more than before. Got it?

This time,

I'm going to give it my all.

Dismissed from my role?

It just happened. You don't have to come anymore.

Wait.

The director liked my acting.

Either way, I delivered the message.

No, wait.

But I already quit my job.

(Recruiting Talent to Lead GBS)

I heard you got fired.

Why'd you have to get on the main lead's bad side?

Can't you tell right away who's in charge on site?

No way.

Did I get fired because of her?

Did you lose your sense along with your memory?

So why did you have to act up?

- You... - Are you sure?

Is that really the reason I got fired?

If so, are you going to wreak havoc?

I won't back down like this.

Especially when the reason is unfair...

and not because of my poor acting.

I won't quit.

Hi. I'm Actress Bong Chung Ja,

who played the housekeeper in the drama.

May I talk to the writer, please?

She's busy writing. You can talk to me instead.

It's not something I can talk over the phone.

Then send it by text.

Hello?

What a rude wench.

Why is it so hard to meet the writer now?

They used to beg to have a meeting with me.

They fired you? What are you talking about?

Tae Sook.

Writer Choo's studio. Lake Officetel. Unit 1801.

Don't go empty-handed. Settle the matter at any cost.

They were killed a long time ago.

What do you expect me to do now?

The body's already buried.

Did I say we should kill them?

Since we've already killed one,

I told you the next one needs to look like an accident.

Keep this up, and I might just lose it.

I'll kill everyone without thinking twice.

I didn't hear a thing.

I really didn't.

I heard nothing.

The call just now...

Stop. Don't come closer.

No, stop. I won't let you kill me!

I'm terribly sorry.

I had no idea you were the writer and made an awful mistake.

Make yourself at home.

There's no need to kneel for me.

I saw you in the drama.

It wasn't all that good, was it?

I liked it.

Actually, the director did too, on set.

I felt bad about it.

You were dismissed because of me.

- What do you mean? - I changed the script.

The housekeeper had more scenes.

But the main lead got mad about it.

Knowing what happened...

makes me feel even worse about what I did to you.

There's no need for you to apologise.

The one who should apologise...

is the TV station that keeps forcing trashy storylines all the time.

How about I pour you a glass?

Even right now, my drama is full of absurd plots.

The cheating husband, the nasty wife,

a murder, and a revenge plot.

What more am I supposed to add?

Rather than bringing a dead character back to life,

wouldn't it be better...

to make a new one that's more well-rounded?

"A new one?"

The husband was not the only one having an affair.

Even the pretentious wife was cheating on her husband.

You mean Ms. Han's role?

Come on.

An affair on both sides isn't even considered that extreme anymore.

But that's not all.

Turns out,

the housekeeper...

is actually the secret daughter of the husband...

and his mistress.

To get revenge on the wife,

she disguised herself as a housekeeper.

But isn't the housekeeper a little bit too old for that?

Even a mole is enough to change you.

Plastic surgery isn't a big deal.

The daughter had her face done...

to look old and ugly.

Won't I get criticized for going too far?

That's what a soap opera is for.

What's this? A lover?

Better than just a guy who plays guitar, isn't it?

- You owe me one now. - Director Ju.

Director Ju!

This wasn't in the synopsis.

Does this sudden development even make sense?

You know it's common for the plot to change...

and for new details to be added while filming.

That woman.

Wasn't she fired?

Why is she back here?

It's weird for her to disappear out of the blue.

The writer probably wants the scenes to connect more naturally.

How frustrating.

Chung Ja. Get ready.

Ready, action.

You...

What's your relationship with the madam?

I'm innocent, okay?

We have no relationship whatsoever.

Let's see what your dashcam has to say about that.

Are you crazy?

- Let go of me! - You can't check anything.

Cut.

Are you okay?

Sorry. I overdid it.

Yes, I'm fine.

The revised script turned out great.

I love how lively it is. It feels almost alive.

The scenes do look more energetic.

How about we turn up the intensity in the next scene?

What?

Don't worry about me.

What's important is the drama, not my body.

Let go!

Are you here to take revenge on the wife?

What's your purpose in coming here?

It doesn't matter.

I'm going...

to die anyway.

Are you terminally ill?

I'll crush anything that stands in my way!

I won't let it slide! I'll crush it all!

Lightning, action.

I'll crush it all!

- Wake up! - I'll crush everything!

- I'll... - Wake up!

Is she okay?

It's your fault my life became a total wreck!

Chung Ja.

Chung Ja.

Call an ambulance, fast!

Chung Ja!

Regarding the election campaign truck plan,

that Min Guk Hee acrostic is a nice touch.

- But there's no clear punchline... - Aren't you all working hard?

Doesn't anyone need a snack?

What brings you here?

Come now. Burning out your brain every night...

won't make you more productive.

Have some coffee.

Have a seat. It's making me uncomfortable.

What's that?

(Once Again, A Good Choice)

"Jaesun-dong traditional market,"

"a senior welfare center,"

Gosh.

Are you trying to win votes from cats and dogs?

Many young voters are animal lovers.

Other assemblymen even intentionally adopt abandoned dogs.

Take it out.

But the visit and schedule are already set.

See that?

The productivity shot through the roof with a bit of coffee.

(Saebaram Party)

(Candidate 7, Min Guk Hee)

Leave him.

Out of all the useless ones, that guy is the most enthusiastic.

What is it?

I need to head back to the center.

Is it something I must know?

I'll take care of it.

Okay. Keep it up.

Yes, sir.

(A traffic police officer barged in and is causing a scene.)

(You need to come quickly.)

Sir.

The crazy jerk is inspecting the parking lot, not the rooms.

- The parking lot? - Yes.

What is this about?

I was looking for a car, but it's not here.

Goodness.

What kind of car?

Right.

I checked the vehicle registration, and it led me here.

Plate number 2668.

Since you're done, get lost now.

Why'd you crumple it up?

Darn it. It's all wrinkled now.

Seriously.

Why don't you ask why I'm looking for it?

Because I don't need to know.

Get lost.

I'd say you don't want to know.

Just so you know, the car happened to park illegally.

At Obong Intersection a month ago...

in front of a fried chicken place on the main road.

Do you recall?

What are you doing?

What do you think? I'm just doing my job.

I've got a whole gallery of mugshots here.

Well.

Stand still. Okay.

Let's see.

Let's see.

- Okay. - You crazy jerk.

Enough.

Here.

Contact me if you find the car.

(Seodong Police Station, Traffic Department, Sergeant Dokgo Cheol)

They're here.

- How did it go? - I found the company...

that supplied burner phones to the broker.

But someone unexpected popped up.

"Kwak Jung Do?"

- It sounds familiar. - A four-time convicted criminal.

His most recent offence was aggravated assault.

Kwak Jung Do of the Silver Axe Gang, right?

He's in Pilseung Gang now.

"Pilseung Gang?"

Pilseung Gang as in...

Ju Seung Pil?

It's not a serious meeting.

All you need to do is put on a smile. Okay?

What?

Are you looking for something?

Well...

I need to use the restroom.

There's one in the room.

Right.

It's number two.

- I see. - Yes.

Go straight down the hallway to the end, then turn right.

- Thank you. - Of course.

This isn't the parking lot.

Did you get lost,

or were you really headed here?

This isn't the place.

I need to use the restroom.

But the building is just huge.

- Take him there. - Yes, sir.

Great.

Bye.

Shouldn't we get rid of him?

Leave him be.

He's just a traffic officer.

My gosh, Chung Ja.

Chung Ja, are you all right?

My goodness.

- What happened? - My gosh, Chung Ja.

You collapsed during your shoot.

You should lie down, all right?

I didn't even push her that hard.

At this rate, you're going to get someone killed on set, you fool.

- That hurt. - It hurt?

How dare you say that in front of Chung Ja?

It's not Nam Ju's fault.

Didn't he push you during the shoot?

Isn't that how you ended up with a concussion?

I remembered something at that moment.

Then I suddenly got dizzy. I think that's why I fell.

Right. The doctor said...

that it did not appear to be caused by external trauma.

See? I told you.

It's all thanks to me. The memory came back because I pushed you.

My gosh, Chung Ja. What do you remember?

Before that,

I want to ask you something.

Me?

Yes.

Okay.

Here. Drink this, Chung Ja.

What's up?

Don't trust anyone for now.

I understand that you two are close,

but don't trust anyone until you get your memory back.

Anyone could be the culprit.

There's something...

I've wanted to ask you ever since we met again.

What's there that we can't talk about between us?

What is it?

That day,

why was I left by myself?

- What? - Twenty-five years ago,

on the day I got into the accident.

Oh, that day...

You mean the day you won Best Actress at the awards ceremony?

I don't know about other people,

but you were always by my side.

You even tagged along to the restroom with me.

So why was I alone back then?

The truth is, that day...

(Lim Se Ra)

When I was on my way to the van after leaving the waiting room,

carrying your flowers...

Hey, Tae Sook. Wait.

We're throwing a surprise party at Se Ra's place today.

- A surprise party? - That's right.

So you should go there on your own.

Am I preparing the party?

Yes, so make sure everything looks nice.

She'll be so surprised.

She could open a flower shop.

I was told we were throwing a surprise party at your place,

and that I should go there on my own to get things ready.

I thought everyone else was in the van.

I really had no idea you were alone in the car.

I excitedly went to your place and started preparing for the party.

But then...

- Early this morning, - I saw on TV...

- a van carrying Lim Se Ra... - that you'd been in an accident.

- collided with... - I was so shocked.

a five-ton dump truck.

As a result of the accident, Lim Se Ra was rushed...

My sister must've been there too.

Your little sister, Baek Ja?

(Intensive Care Unit)

(Central Surgery Center)

Baek Ja.

What did you mean earlier when you said you remembered?

You said you remembered something before the accident.

Yes. About a month before the accident,

I think I met someone back then.

Who?

That I don't remember, so I don't know who it is.

But that person was wearing a watch.

"A watch?"

It's your fault!

The watch was unique, so I remember it.

I know it's the exact same watch from back then.

So the man from 25 years ago showed up again?

But why?

Twenty-five years ago, I got into the accident after meeting him.

And it happened again.

Then what does that mean?

That man could be the culprit who did this to you.

Who is this crazy jerk?

I'll find him.

But how? You've lost your memory and don't even know his name.

Thankfully, there's someone who might know who that man is.

My gosh. Who?

Kang Du Won.

Kang...

I have to go. Bye.

No, wait. Chung Ja!

You're leaving now? Leave a little later.

I don't have time for this.

Then go with your manager.

My manager?

The one who came with you the other day.

Mr. Dokgo Cheol.

Who are you?

Sorry, wrong room. My apologies.

(VIP Room, Patient)

Excuse me.

When were you admitted?

Two days ago.

I see. Thank you.

- Excuse me. - Yes?

The car accident victim who was hospitalized in this VIP room.

When was the patient discharged?

Three days ago.

The patient originally planned to stay a while...

but suddenly insisted on going home.

I see.

The number you have dialled does not exist.

Please check the number and try again.

So I looked that person up in the system.

He didn't just change his number. He got rid of the phone altogether.

There's no new number.

I bet he got a burner phone. Yes.

Thanks anyway.

Check his home address and text it to me.

He's busy.

What do you mean he's busy?

He's your manager.

Also, do you think Du Won will meet you if you show up unannounced?

Do you think he'll kick out Lim Se Ra,

who's there to see him?

My gosh. Then let me tag along.

No. You've already helped me out so much.

It's really fine. I'm off.

Wait. What's this?

Yes. Hello?

Where are you? Hurry up.

Hey, where are you? I'm at C. How many times must I tell you?

My gosh!

Mr. Dokgo.

Yes, it's you.

- My goodness. Hello. - Oh, hello.

How did you know to come here? Thank goodness.

Pardon? I'm here on business.

Right, you're not here because Chung Ja contacted you.

Gosh, what should I do?

Contact me about what?

She went to meet Kang Du Won, who used to be her road manager.

"Kang Du Won?"

Why all of a sudden?

It's really complicated, but it's urgent.

You must know too.

The biggest entertainment company in the country, 2ONE Entertainment.

"2ONE Entertainment?"

Come on. Don't just say no.

Please pass the message along to Mr. Kang.

You should contact him first.

But how can I contact him?

I called the company, but they won't let me through to him.

So how am I supposed to contact him?

If you keep being unreasonable like this,

we'll have no choice but to take legal action.

Sure, that's great.

A good friend of mine is a cop as well.

- Hey, lady! Stop! - No, let go!

Seriously, you guys are making a big mistake now.

The thing is, she hurt her head during her shoot,

and she remembered something.

It seemed important,

so she went to see Kang Du Won to ask him about it.

(2ONE Entertainment CEO Kang Du Won, Leading the Entertainment Industry)

I mean...

My gosh.

Why do you think I'm asking you this?

Du Won and I are very close.

The moment he hears that I'm here,

he'll come running barefoot all the way from over there.

This isn't something we can do just because you're begging us.

Whatever! I'm just going to lie down here, so suit yourself.

The police will be here in five minutes if we call them.

So, stop making a scene and...

Police, here.

That was so fast.

Darn it.

This isn't trespassing,

and I vouch for this person's identity.

But meeting Mr. Kang without an appointment...

Right, so please give him a call.

He'll decide whether or not he wants to meet her.

Please.

Thanks for your help.

You don't need to thank me.

I have some business here too.

What business do you have with 2ONE Entertainment?

Who knew Lim Se Ra could get nervous?

Nervous? Please.

The CEO of this company used to work for me.

He was just a lackey who couldn't even look me in the eye.

Right.

You were a top star, a rookie cop like me didn't even dare to look at.

He was a mere road manager.

I doubt he could've even dared to have a 1-on-1 with you.

Don't tell me...

you're being like this because I called you my manager once.

- What do you mean? - That's what you're doing.

You've been making fun of me sarcastically ever since that day.

My goodness.

How could a mere detective make fun of a top star like you?

Not a chance.

Good grief.

I made a big mistake.

I deeply apologise for mistakenly calling you my manager.

I apologise. Are we good now?

- Forget it. - What?

Never become my manager.

You'd better not volunteer for it.

I'm not even interested.

Just so you know, I was the one who declined first. Not you.

Even if you begged me for the job,

I still wouldn't want to give it to you.

Even if you beg me in tears, I won't do it.

That petty jerk.

Do you like that actress?

She looks familiar for some reason.

She's an actress. You must've seen her on TV.

("Jewellery Store Girl")

You know how, when you wake up from an endoscopy,

a good amount of time has already passed?

It felt like that when I opened my eyes at the hospital.

I just closed my eyes and opened them again.

For me, nothing had changed,

except that I had aged without accomplishing anything,

looking the way I do now.

He's waiting for you.

Oh, my gosh.

Is it really you, Lim Se Ra?

Gosh.

You've gotten so much prettier...

that I...

I could hardly recognise you.

Come here. How long has it been? Come on.

I came to check something with you.

I'll go first.

The truth is, I wanted to meet you,

but you beat me to it.

You wanted to meet me?

Why?

Can we talk in private?

It's fine. Say it.

It's a private matter between just the two of us.

Who's he?

He's my...

I'm her manager.

There's only so much you can investigate...

while following a celebrity.

You're a traffic officer now, not a detective anymore.

To catch a shark, you need to go at least to the freshwater,

if not the sea.

But this place is just a well.

All you can do is ticket some frogs.

Are you off to catch a frog?

No, to catch a shark.

Come on. Your manager? No way.

Is he really your manager?

The thing is...

Yes, I am.

So please contact me to speak with Ms. Lim from now on.

(Epilogue)

(Busan Bunam Police Station)

I was sure I had it memorized, but I'm confused now.

Was it 011...

No, was it 017?

What do you need Won Ban's number for?

Who knows?

If I ever open my own shop, I might contact him to be my first client.

Then, what?

From actresses to singers,

so many girls are in love with Won Ban.

So if Won Ban becomes my client,

all those girls will follow like a chain of sausages.

He's not really my type.

What? If Won Ban's not your type,

who is?

Oh, Leonardo DiCaprio? Brad Pitt?

I'm not attracted to pretty boys.

Right. Since you're so perfect, who's your type?

My type is...

someone with sun-kissed skin that makes my fair skin stand out,

hair that's just a bit rough to make mine shine more,

a moderately masculine build,

and intense eyes that seem to look only at me.

Oh, here's the most important thing.

Unlike my dad, who's a smooth talker and can come off as insincere,

I like someone who talks a little awkwardly but warmly,

with an honest voice...

and a down-to-earth manner.

What's taking her so long?

Se Ra. When you go out with a guy, you need to run him by me first.

You're in no position to criticize my taste in men.

(Busan Bunam Police Station)

Hello?

It's me, Lim Se Ra.

Yes, are you here now?

I'm afraid...

I don't think I can keep my promise.

What?

You said the rule was no makeup when going to the police station,

so why do you suddenly want to wear full makeup?

I've done nothing wrong, you know.

Excessive modesty can be perceived as rudeness.

Where are the high heels?

The ones our new brand sponsor sent.

(Busan Bunam Police Station)

I'm here for questioning.

- I see. - Goodness.

Even her voice is pretty.

- Gosh. - Sorry.

I'll take you to the interrogation room.

- Oh, my. - Did you see her?

Isn't she drop-dead gorgeous?

Yes.

Sorry?

I don't find her that pretty.

Is she really that gorgeous?

- What's wrong with your eyes? - Goodness.

- Hey. - What?

Watch where you're going.

Yes, sir.

(My Troublesome Star)

You're so successful.

How come you didn't stay in touch all these years?

How am I supposed to find someone who's gone into hiding on purpose?

Do you think I'm a cop?

What are you after?

Why did you drag Lim Se Ra into this?

The world you want to return to.

I'm certain the culprit is part of it.

We were supposed to meet.

You promised to pay me the settlement money.

You guys need to shut your mouths and watch.

It means these two car accidents can't be a coincidence.
