Are you crying?

You remind me of how you used to be.

You're just like the dazzling Lim Se Ra from back then.

Then why are you crying?

Because I'm happy for you.

Se Ra.

You're so beautiful.

I'm just so happy for you.

We're ready for you now.

- Do I look strange? - Yes.

What part?

Tell me. What looks strange?

No. That's not what I meant.

You're beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

Oh, what a relief.

What's that behind your back?

What?

Come on. You're hiding something this whole time.

Are you hiding some snacks from me or something?

No, that's not it.

Let me see.

Actually, we got this as a sponsorship.

Really?

Of course. You're Lim Se Ra.

This is the least they can do.

- What is it? - Do you want to see?

- This is so pretty. - You think so?

Yes.

Absolutely.

Will you put it on for me?

Oh, of course.

Is this good?

("Ms. Casting")

Bong Chung Ja is going to make you shine.

Just you wait.

Gosh.

Isn't she the Radish Lady?

Bong Chung Ja or something.

Go, Bong Chung Ja!

Ms. Lim Se Ra, could you share your thoughts on your comeback?

Yes, I've always dreamed of starring in one of Director Choi's films.

And to be able to fulfill that dream after 25 years...

I still can't tell if I'm dreaming or if this is real.

I will give it my all.

Director Choi. This must be very meaningful for you as well.

Did you have Ms. Lim Se Ra in mind for the role from the start?

As you all know, this role was cast through an open audition,

so that wasn't the case at all.

But I can't deny I've long hoped to work with her.

A question for Ms. Lim Se Ra. Could you describe your character?

We are also looking forward to your dynamic with Mr. Won Ban?

How does it feel to be reunited?

Could you say something to the fans who waited so long for your return?

First, I'd like to thank the fans who have waited so patiently.

("Ms. Casting")

Oh, no.

- I think her dress ripped, right? - Are you okay?

- I'm so embarrassed. - Let's go.

It's all because of Lim Se Ra!

You shot yourself in the foot. Who are you going to blame for that?

Didn't you say Bong Chung Ja was going to make me shine?

That you'd put me in the spotlight!

Hey. Don't get me wrong. I had no idea she'd look so amazing.

She had zero support from the agency.

She lost all that weight and got in killer shape by herself.

What do you want me to do about her getting that gorgeous?

Why'd she get so gorgeous suddenly? Darn it.

Lim Se Ra.

It's me.

- Hold on a second. - Hey. Where are you going?

Just a second!

("Lim Se Ra's Perfect Look Versus Go Hui Yeong's Luxury Dress")

Who's calling that you have to sneak out to answer?

It's them. About that damaged item you got from the sponsor.

What about it?

Do they want me to pay for it?

Instead of making you pay, they want to switch models.

- To Bong Chung Ja. - What?

- Well... - Don't tell me you agreed to it.

From the agency's perspective, instead of losing it to outsiders,

it's better to pass it on to one of our own.

Besides, you get many offers anyway. Bong Chung Ja only has this one.

I want all my staff replaced.

How is it the staff's fault that you're getting sidelined?

- Seriously? - Goodness.

Come on. I can't fire them all now. There are contracts in place.

Then at least fire the stylist.

- She's on a rider contract. - You mean Chavely?

Chavely or Novely. I don't care! Fire them all!

You've really lost it.

Go Hui Yeong, where are you?

Open the door!

Have you lost your mind? What do you think you're doing here?

- Darn you. - Gosh.

Is it my fault your dress ripped?

Do you really have to take it this far?

After all the years we've been through together...

We've been at this for two decades. I'd say I've been more than loyal.

You know that I can't stand clingy people.

Our relationship was never just about business, was it?

You'd better watch your mouth.

You haven't seen trouble yet.

And if it does? What could you possibly do?

About something that happened 25 years ago?

What can you possibly do without any proof?

Who says I don't have proof?

What do you mean by that?

That expression on your face is so convincing.

You should've used that acting gift on screen.

If you had, then Lim Se Ra, who just reappeared after 25 years,

wouldn't be trouncing you like this.

What's that supposed to mean?

Are you sure you want me to talk about it all right here?

Have a good one, Hui Yeong.

Why do they have to cause a scene in my salon?

Something must've really happened 25 years ago.

She said she had proof.

Gosh, you scared me.

How long have you been there?

Ever since you started doing Go Hui Yeong's makeup.

Really? Gosh, how did I not notice you?

Nobody noticed. And it's not like I'm easy to miss.

Perfect. Then you must have heard everything.

What did she say? What proof?

What is it? Tell me!

- Hold on a second. - Hurry!

- I don't know either. - How could you not know?

I dozed off.

Are you kidding me? How could you sleep at that moment?

Wait a second.

Then the accident from 25 years ago...

might not have been an accident at all.

But Go Hui Yeong acted like she had no idea there was any proof.

Oh, my. How come?

Was it incriminating evidence against Go Hui Yeong?

Don't tell me Go Hui Yeong did something to Se Ra...

I mean, she did hate her enough to want her dead.

Oh, my gosh. This is crazy. No, it couldn't be.

Actually, Go Hui Yeong would absolutely do something like that.

Remember the talk of how she took Lim Se Ra's spot after her accident?

If only we knew what it was. Seriously, what could it be?

- Should I get it out from Chavely? - How?

You know me.

Women used to fall for Gu Nam Ju with just a flicker of my finger.

Chavely was head over heels for me back then, too.

Gosh. What decade was that? Now, you're a shriveled radish.

Hey! I told you not to mention radishes!

- Darn it! - Gosh.

Gosh. He can be so cute.

So Chavely is the key to all this?

Se Ra.

You can't lose to Go Hui Yeong from the very first shoot. Got it?

Gosh. It's not like I'm going into battle.

Oh, honestly.

("Ms. Casting")

Look at her.

- Hi. - Director.

Director, how am I looking today?

Seriously, that girl. Se Ra. Come on.

Let's go!

- Move. - Gosh.

Director.

Gosh. Sera.

It's my first shoot in a long time. I'm in your hands.

No, I'm the one who should be asking that of you.

So were you able to get some sleep?

I was too nervous.

For this scene, I'm not sure if I should hold back my emotions...

- or play it more intensely. - Gosh.

How many times have you read it?

I have complete faith in you, Se Ra. Trust and follow your instincts.

I'll do my best.

What's this? What was that for?

I'm finally giving it back to you.

I should have done it a long time ago.

I had to catch the culprit first.

So I put it off on purpose.

With that hanging around my neck,

I never had a single peaceful night's sleep.

I'm so sorry.

Cut! That was great!

It was?

Gosh. I didn't know she had that look in her.

The focus was soft on Hui Yeong. Should we do another take?

No. It'd be hard to get that look again,

- so let's just use this one. - What?

Me?

Director. Did I hold back too much? Is that okay?

Are you kidding? It was great. It couldn't have been more perfect.

It was the best!

Where's my chair?

Hui Yeong! Here it is. Right here!

Gosh.

Gosh. It's not summer, but it's so hot.

Here.

Drink this. I thought you'd be hot and got this.

Did you run all the way out just for these?

Look how much you're sweating.

- I'm fine, really. - It's cool, right?

- Hey, I said I'm hot! - It's right here!

- Hey! - Gosh.

Oh, Hui Yeong.

What's wrong with your face? It's a total disaster.

Let me just fix your hair.

Oh, no. What are we going to do?

Today is just so much fun. It's just the best day ever.

I'm sorry for not being there for you.

For not being there for you.

You've read that 100 times now. Have you still not memorized it?

Of course, I have it memorized.

While Go Hui Yeong became Queen of Cannes,

I was out of the game for 25 years.

If I want to even begin to catch up, I have to study until it's perfect.

Gosh. Why does it get harder the more I look at it?

But from what I could tell,

the director seemed to like it a lot.

As if. That was just a camera test. He was just being encouraging.

Gosh. Still, you actors are amazing.

How do you memorize all those lines? I couldn't do it for the life of me.

Anyway, is there any way I can help?

Actually, there is one thing.

What?

"Whenever I saw your face through that crack in the window,"

"I felt like I was back in the only happy moment of my life."

"What is it? Are you going to hold my hand?"

"I'm sorry this is all I can do for you."

"No."

"You're already doing enough. You're here by my side."

"You haven't left me."

"I don't think I can go with you tomorrow."

"Let's say our goodbyes here."

"Then just promise me one thing."

"That you won't leave and you'll wait for me until I return."

"I promise."

"He moves closer."

Where to?

"He moves closer."

Where to?

Where to?

Where to?

Oh, seriously.

Gosh. This is a lot harder than it looks.

Goodness.

I'm so bad at this. I'm no help at all.

- Oh, never mind. - Gosh.

You were great. The problem is you were too great.

Really?

You really think I did a good job?

So it's true what they say. Right?

You know, when we do undercover work,

I've been told I'm a natural at this kind of thing.

Am I a natural actor or what?

Okay, let's do it again. Ready.

No, that's okay.

We're good. That's more than enough.

We're good.

No, I've got it now. I can do better.

Alright. "Then promise me one thing."

"That you won't leave and you'll wait for me until..."

Stop!

You're getting a call.

Right.

One second.

Yes, Dokgo Cheol speaking.

I praise him a little, and he really thinks he's a star.

And what's with that look in his eyes?

Okay. I'll head over right away.

It sounds like you're busy. You should get going.

No, it's okay. I can drop you off first.

I'm going to stay and practice more, so you go on ahead.

Oh, really? Then call me when you're leaving...

and when you get home. Promise me.

I was just getting the hang of it.

"So this is goodbye. Don't forget your promise."

Later then. I'll call you.

"Through the crack in the window..."

Excuse me.

I made myself clear, didn't I? Smile and be pleasant.

You do so well in practice, so why do you seem so stiff outside?

I'll do better next time.

There are tons of trainees desperate for this chance.

Get it together.

Excuse me. You left this in the restroom.

- Thank you. - Do you want to grab a coffee?

I'm still pretty new to the company,

and I don't really know anyone yet.

I was hoping we could be friends.

- I have to get to practice soon. - I see.

Well, maybe we can talk sometime later, then.

You know, we can talk about things we can't say out loud at work.

It's always nice to have someone to vent to.

Riley.

What is it?

I should get going.

There are tons of trainees desperate for this chance.

Do you really not know who made the movie investment?

I wasted the feast placed right before me.

Pathetic, aren't I?

No. That feast would've made you sick.

Forcing yourself wouldn't have been worth it.

No matter what others say,

nothing beats a simple, comforting home-style meal.

Don't you agree?

I wonder how he's doing.

He must be so old by now.

So he was fine when he fell asleep, then suddenly had a seizure?

Is the cell really so crowded that no one would notice a man die?

No, it's actually pretty spacious for the number of inmates.

Now that I think about it, wasn't Kang Dae Gu...

the last one to be placed in that cell?

So the other guys in there must be close, then.

- The guards don't track that. - Right.

I guess I can just ask Kang Dae Gu myself.

Has he regained consciousness?

Oh, yes. Thankfully, he's out of the woods.

The medical staff says he should be regaining consciousness soon,

so please let his cellmates know. They must have been worried.

- Yes. - Okay.

- All right, then. - Take care.

Goodness. Your batting average is awful.

Right?

How do you manage to whiff it every single time?

Does that wench have several lives?

Or are we the ones with all the bad luck?

Are we in a race to the grave? Darn it!

While you have all your limbs, don't make your guys do it.

You have to finish the job yourself. Okay?

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

He may be your father. But to me, he killed my father.

Gosh, time is a scary thing. How has Lim Se Ra changed?

I saw her the other day, and she looked like she's had work done.

That's what money gets you.

- Procedures, surgery, you name it. - I heard she's totally broke.

I heard she married into the yakuza. Maybe she got washed up and dumped?

Wasn't she a chaebol's trophy wife? She's back now the money is gone.

Pathetic.

Is Lim Se Ra a piece of fruit? What do you mean, "let herself go?"

- Has this old lady lost it? - Who are you calling an old lady?

I'm way younger than you. Has this old lady gone senile?

Hey, what part of me looks like an old lady?

Shut it and get out. All of you, get out!

Seriously, are you crazy?

(Welcome.)

(Come again.)

They don't know anything.

Se Ra. I'm here.

You haven't eaten?

Se Ra.

Se Ra.

Se Ra. Please eat something today. It's already summer.

It's hot, isn't it? I'll put the fan here for you.

They're saying it's the first snow. Dad's parole hearing is soon.

I believe in you, Se Ra. You can get back on your feet.

Everyone is waiting for you.

Se Ra.

My college entrance exam is next week.

I really want to see you that day.

You should have asked me to come. Give it to me.

It's good exercise for me. I probably burned 50 calories.

You must be tired, driving all the way to Busan.

Don't worry. It's part of the job.

I've got a neck pillow, drink, and snacks.

I've got everything ready.

So you can just relax on the way.

All right, let's go.

Gosh. How long has it been since I've been to Busan?

Twenty-five years?

Are you talking about that police station in Busan you mentioned?

The gukbap I had back then was amazing.

Should we go have some when you're not filming?

- Is it still there? - I think so.

I'd love that.

I've actually always wanted to try the noodles at the place next door.

I see.

Why that noodle shop?

It's just one of those things.

I see.

It's me. Yes.

What?

What are you talking about?

What happened?

He apparently had a seizure. We've checked the CCTV footage.

And besides the medical staff, no one went in or out.

Really?

If they're willing to pull a stunt like this, they'll stop at nothing.

From now on, this will be treated as the Kang Dae Gu murder case.

What about the body?

I'll handle the National Forensic Service,

so investigate all the medical staff in Kang Dae Gu's room last night.

Don't leave anyone out.

(Busan Station)

I'm so sorry. Something urgent just came up.

Don't worry. The train was fast and comfortable.

This urgent matter is not something dangerous, is it?

It isn't. There's nothing to worry about.

I'll handle it quickly and head right down.

Don't worry about the shoot. Just focus on your investigation.

Catching the culprit is what's important.

I'll make it there today. Be careful until I arrive.

Okay.

Here's that file you asked for.

I've compiled all the information on people...

around Assemblyman Do Ik Hwan.

It turns out Assemblyman Min Guk Hee is tied to an entertainment agency.

("Assemblyman Min Guk Hee Caught in an Entertainment Gangster Scandal")

- Could it be an actress? - Nothing was officially reported.

The management agency that brokered the deal was Lim Se Ra's.

"Lim Se Ra?"

I met a horrible man today.

Actually, there's a movie I wanted to be in.

("The Sad Voice")

I scrapped it.

(Kang Du Won, 46)

"I'm sorry this is all I can do for you."

"I'm sorry this is all..."

"I'm sorry this is all I can do for you."

What was that?

Is he here already?

You're...

Whenever I saw your face through that crack in the window,

I felt like I was back in the only happy moment of my life.

What is it? Are you going to hold my hand?

I'm sorry this is all I can do for you.

You're already doing enough.

You're here by my side.

You haven't left me.

"You're already doing enough. You're here by my side."

"You never left."

Oh, I'm sorry. Where were we?

Oh, right here.

Right here. It's from here.

Right. Thank you.

You must be tired, but you're still running lines.

I'm the one who asked you.

Should we go again?

Okay.

High accident area ahead. Please drive safely.

Excuse me. Mr. Manager.

Do you want to get a drink with me?

We have an early shoot tomorrow. We should probably call it a night.

You never know. A drink might loosen our tongues.

It's just one drink.

When I make a promise, I keep it.

Come on. Just have one drink.

Fine. If you insist, I'll have one.

Gosh. What's this?

Gosh. This looks like the expensive stuff.

Nice.

I'll have one more.

Are you really just a manager?

I mean, what kind of a manager...

would get on his knees for an actress?

You just don't strike me as the manager type.

So what's the deal with you two?

Since you brought it up, let me ask you something.

I heard CEO Kang Du Won used to be your manager.

What's your relationship with him?

Where did that come from?

It's just that I saw you two before, and you seemed very close.

Us? We're practically family.

Inseparable.

For people to get that close, something must have happened.

Like surviving a brush with death together,

or sharing a deep trauma,

or maybe covering up a secret for the other.

You're not wrong.

We almost hit rock bottom together.

We were both scarred by it.

And we buried a secret together.

What secret was that?

If I told you, it's not a secret.

Come work for me.

I'll double whatever Lim Se Ra is paying you.

Is that the thing you couldn't say while you were sober? Is that all?

What do you mean, "Is that all?"

Financially and for your career, working with me is a better deal.

After 10 years, you get a feel. After 20, you can see the future.

I can tell just by the look in your eyes.

You didn't become a manager just to be under someone, did you?

A man with no ambition...

is so unattractive.

If I have ambition, that's why I work with Ms. Lim Se Ra.

What?

I took this job in the first place because of Lim Se Ra,

so there's no reason for me to get involved with you.

- If that's all, I'll be going. - No, wait!

You're not going to leave a drunk woman here all alone,

are you?

I'm drunk.

So drunk.

Gosh. I'm so drunk.

- Get in, quick. - No, this...

Seriously, why did you drink so much if you had such low tolerance?

Use your legs. Stand up straight.

Wait. Come on.

I can't believe you drank this much.

Hey! What floor? Hurry up and press it.

Take a guess.

Gosh. Seriously.

It's not what it looks like. This is a misunderstanding.

Wait.

Wait.

I was wondering why you were so late,

but now I see why.

No, it's not what it looks like.

Excuse me. Explain this, please.

Seriously.

- Wait. Excuse me. - Life is good

Let's get another glass of whiskey.

- Whiskey. - "Whiskey?" Come on.

Darn it.

I'm going to lose my mind.

Gosh.

I've been set up, haven't I?

Seriously!

Driving drowsy is dangerous, so make sure you rest on the way.

Is everything okay?

I'm getting worried, so please text me back.

Do I answer her?

Wait.

She was fooling around with Won Ban, too. I'm not doing it.

Cut! Okay.

- Are you okay? - Here you go.

Oh, thanks.

Here. Let's eat this together.

Gosh.

This one's for you. Here you go.

I've never seen such beautiful lunchboxes.

Gosh. I can't take the credit for this.

It's all thanks to my amazing fans.

- Hello. - Won Ban!

- We love you! - Thank you.

You have such a way with words.

You haven't changed a bit.

Neither have you, Se Ra.

You're exactly the same.

As pretty and radiant as ever.

Excuse me for a second.

- What are you doing? - I'm not doing anything.

- I just saw you take a picture. - No, I didn't.

Come on. Give it to me.

Hey. This is an invasion of my privacy.

You're already violating privacy laws. Now let me see it.

Who do you think you are, Mr. Loner? Are you a cop or something?

This is unbelievable. Do you think if you glare at me,

I'm going to get all scared and just hand it over?

A candid shot of Lonely Dokgo Cheol.

He just got owned. This is hilarious!

Won Ban has already got his eye on her.

It's game over.

You think this is funny?

- Gosh. - You know they had a scandal.

- "A scandal?" - Yes.

People always say those scandals are fake.

Come on. Where there's smoke, there's fire, right?

Even my scandals were true.

Gosh. You're really something else.

I heard Won Ban chose this project only because of Lim Se Ra.

No way. Why would Won Ban do that?

Besides, that was ages ago. Why is this still a topic?

Come on. First loves are like wine. You just don't get it.

- Her first love? - Yes.

That's why he's still single even though he is a top star.

There has to be a reason.

A first love she can never forget...

is seared deep into her heart. None other than Lim Se Ra.

Are we in a drama?

"Seared deep into her heart?" As if.

But I'm still your fan, Mr. Loner. I mean Mr. Dokgo.

Keep up the good work!

The sea hasn't changed in 25 years.

I told you, I'm not hungry. I had a huge lunch.

I'm not surprised.

That was no lunch. It was a hotel buffet.

Gosh. You saw that?

You two were sitting so close, all chummy.

It was kind of hard to miss.

Goodness. When were we sitting so close?

And who was holding someone so tight last night?

That's right. You were.

Wait. That was part of the investigation.

Oh, my. Look, we're here.

(Best Pork Gukbap)

How has this place not changed at all?

My gosh. Even the sign is the same.

- Help yourselves. - Thank you.

Thanks.

She hasn't changed a bit.

- It tastes the same, too. Try it. - Oh, right. The spicy paste.

Stop. For pork gukbap, you start with the clear broth.

Okay. Instead of the spicy paste...

The pork gukbap from Busan has the deepest broth.

That's why you need to add only a bit of salted shrimps.

Here. You have to season it with salted shrimp. Now, try it.

There.

Go on. Just try it. Trust me on this.

Okay.

Yes, this is it.

Is it good?

- Hey. - Hey.

- You go first. - No. Chung Ja. You go ahead.

- About last night... - Wait.

Let me explain last night first.

Okay? I was drinking with Go Hui Yeong.

You were drinking with her?

Well, we didn't start drinking together.

I just happened to join in halfway through...

That's unbelievable. I was waiting for you to come home.

Wondering if something was wrong, I was up all night and got no rest.

And during all that time, you were drinking with Go Hui Yeong?

- Gosh. - Let's be honest.

You didn't lose sleep because of me. You were too busy chatting away...

with that Won Ban, or Won Pan, or whatever his name was.

You think I don't know?

We were just practicing lines.

"Practicing lines?" What a convenient excuse.

Goodness.

Then I'll just say I had a little 1-on-1 drinking session, too.

Practicing lines sober...

and clinging to someone drunk. Are those the same thing?

"Clinging?" What do you...

So should I have abandoned a drunk woman in the middle of the night?

You looked like you were enjoying it plenty...

when Go Hui Yeong was leaning all over you.

Gosh.

- Gosh. Now I suddenly need a drink. - "A drinking session?"

- Excuse me. Bring us some soju. - Okay.

No. There's filming tomorrow. We can't drink.

Please bring it anyway.

Thank you.

Seriously, we have a shoot tomorrow.

You have a shoot. What is this...

The shoot isn't until this afternoon you know.

Practicing lines was just an excuse. You looked thrilled.

So was I practicing a kissing scene with him or something?

That's hot.

- A kiss? - And what if it was?

That's not okay. Right?

A kiss? Without telling me, your manager?

Darn it.

See? Look at that.

I can down a whole bottle of soju and still walk a straight line.

Sure.

Go Hui Yeong's always been like that.

You totally fell for her pathetic natural act, didn't you?

Fine. I was wrong. Are you happy now?

No, that's not it. I wasn't looking for empty words.

That's not the kind of apology I wanted to hear at all.

Look. I'm sincerely sorry.

No. From now on, I won't drink with anyone other than you, Chung Ja.

How's that?

I mean, you don't have to go that far.

- We're here. - Yes.

Here.

Bye.

- Wait. Hey. - What?

This won't do.

Tonight, I'm sleeping here.

Why insist on sleeping in my room? Our rooms are identical.

I don't see anything here.

Goodness. I knew you'd be here.

I see we've already met.

Right?

Hey. Why are you guys doing this?

Hey.

Who sent you?

It wouldn't do you any good to know.

- He doesn't care about us. - You...

Darn it.

Stop, you punk!

Stop!

Darn it.

Plate number 12CH-0484. Run a trace, fast.

Hurry!

Okay. I just ran it.

You were right. It's a ghost car.

Anyway, I'm on it,

so I'll call you as soon as I get something.

Gosh. If I were on duty, I'd at least get overtime for this.

Why am I out of bed for this?

(CCTV Monitoring Center)

What?

That punk.

- Why is there a thief in the hotel? - Did they catch the culprit?

- They crept in. How scary. - Whose room was it?

If it was in the main building, it couldn't be a staff member.

- It could be an actor. - Wouldn't that be a bigger problem?

- Right. Was anything stolen? - What were the managers doing?

- Are you missing anything? - I don't know.

Tonight, I'm sleeping here.

Why insist on sleeping in my room? Our rooms are identical.

Oh, sorry about that. I should've left earlier.

- What happened? - Here.

- What do you mean? - Last night.

- Let's talk on the way. - Sure.

Here you go.

Hello. We're going the same way. Can I join?

Where's your manager?

I don't get enough gigs to need one.

After their cut, I have nothing left.

Let's go. Let's get this show on the road.

Quick.

Hop in.

- You don't look so good. - I'm fine.

I just slept with the window open last night. I'm fine.

I overheard the crew talking earlier,

and they said something happened at the hotel last night.

Did something happen?

Are we close to the rest stop yet?

Just get some sleep.

Yes. Go lay low for a while.

According to recent polls on the upcoming Seoul mayoral election,

Candidate Min Guk Hee is the clear front-runner.

A former aide to Assemblyman Do Ik Hwan,

the party's former floor leader,

he inherited the assemblyman's seat and won three consecutive terms,

allowing Candidate Min Guk Hee to build a solid support base.

From now on, this watch belongs to you.

I'm passing everything on to you, my supporters and my donors.

Thank you.

I am Min Guk Hee, Candidate number seven.

Please put your faith in me.

For the citizens of Seoul,

I am prepared to give my all.

- Min Guk Hee. - Min Guk Hee.

(Manager Dokgo)

Did you get home okay?

Your voice sounds worse. Are you really okay?

I'm fine.

I'll...

I'll call you back later.

Starting now, all meat is 50 percent off!

- Come on over. It's 50 percent off. - It's 50 percent off.

Fifty percent?

- Meat is 50 percent off. - Meat is 50 percent off!

Fifty percent off meat?

- Here. - Here.

- Gosh. What is this? - Let me. I was first.

- You already got yours. Move. - What?

- What? - Move!

- Move over. - Goodness.

Starting now, for the next ten minutes,

we're having a 50 percent off sale.

- Here. - What are you doing?

- Is there more? - They have eels.

- Eeels? - Eeels!

They have eels!

I want eels.

Alright, one eel and two octopuses. I'll clean them myself.

- Okay. - Thanks. Hold on.

Yes. Two of them.

Yes. I'm sorry, but I'll have to call you back.

I'm here.

- You're where? - At your house, Detective.

You came all the way here? Why?

You got hurt because of me. How could I just ignore it?

I can't treat your wounds, but I can at least make porridge.

I'm telling you, I'm fine. Seriously.

Open the door.

What? You're already here?

I'm right outside your door. Hurry up!

This is really heavy.

Just a second! Hold on.

You must be in too much pain to even move.

Then just tell me the passcode.

You stay put, and I'll let myself in.

No, that's not it.

Come on. Hurry. This is really heavy.

Well...

It's 0728. I'll be right out.

Hello?

Zero, seven...

I dedicate this award...

to 0728, who gave me great strength and courage.

The pork gukbap from Busan has the deepest broth.

For pork gukbap,

- you start with the clear broth. - You need to add salted shrimps.

You have to season it with salted shrimp. Now, try it.

Isn't Busan your hometown?

How did you know?

To all the people expecting the old Lim Se Ra,

the way I am now must be such a disappointment.

Back then and now, you seem the same to me.

I'm glad you're okay.

I mean it.

Okay. I'm coming.

(Epilogue)

Excuse me, Mr. Manager. Would you like a drink?

Thank you. Yes.

Are you really a manager? I thought you were one of the actors.

"An actor?" No way.

You could have fooled me.

Because you're so handsome.

- Gosh. - I know.

Goodness. Look at Mr. Dokgo. He's so popular.

- My goodness! - I look better than Won Ban, right?

- Way better, totally! - Yes.

- Thanks. - Se Ra.

All the female staff are going wild for him,

from young to old.

Good grief. You'd think he has his own fan club.

He's just loving this.

Oh, yes. Did you need something?

I could really go for a coffee.

Okay. I'll run to the convenience store nearby and grab you one.

No, not convenience store coffee.

On the way to the set,

I saw there was a coffee shop at the edge of town.

Right. Yes.

I'll go then. Yes.

- Gosh. He's handsome. - Goodness.

Wait. You're sending him to a place that is 20 minutes away,

just to buy you a coffee from a cafe?

I just got a sudden craving for coffee from that shop.

- Oh, is that right? I see. - Yes.

It's not because you hate to see him talking with the other female staff,

would it?

This is just how I am. Did you forget?

I guess I must have.

Here you go.

I figured it's hot out, so I got you an iced coffee.

- Did you run all the way for this? - Well...

- Gosh. Look at you sweating. - I'm fine.

Mr. Dokgo.

- Do you need coffee? - Yes?

- Coffee. - Hold on.

- Excuse me? - Gosh. My legs are killing me.

- There isn't even a chair. - Oh, no.

Hold on a second.

I'll get you a chair right away.

- Hold on a second. - I'm fine, really.

- He's pretty good-looking. - Oh, my gosh.

Why is the manager so handsome?

Right. He's more handsome than Won Ban.

That's what I'm saying. He could be a secret actor.

- He might be about to debut. - Are you sure he hasn't already?

Right. It's my first time seeing him.

(My Troublesome Star)

There's really nothing? Nothing you've hidden or lied about?

- What? - I heard Won Ban liked Se Ra best.

What is this?

I won't let my daughter ruin her life,

trying to become a celebrity like you.

Hey. I want to make the debut team, just like you.

Where did Da Hee go?

Don't make a move on your own.

- Help me! - Da Hee!

Aunt!
