Original subtitles

I want to kiss you.

I’m his younger brother.

I know him better.

The first wish I want to ask from you.

No matter what I give you, must accept it.

But...

This is too much.

Nothing is too much for my Armin.

He’s definitely coming back today.

Just don’t take your eyes off him.

Have you seen this news?

Rising Star Takes Shortcut, Trails Personal Photographer What Happens Behind the Scenes Is a Mystery?

Do you trust me?

What will you do?

It’s time for us to uproot these people completely,

so they can’t mess with you like this again.

Wenai, is everything handled?

Khun Janine, wait, what’s going on?

What time will you be here?

- What time will you be here? - Everyone, please stay calm. Just stay calm.

Listen to me.

If the press sees the two of us together, you’ll become even more of a target.

Trust me.

I’ll trust you.

Go out there and tell the truth to the press.

I’ll handle everything else.

Brave to be a purple cow.

You have to make up an unnatural story instead of running away or denying it like others,

but I want you to accept the whole truth and fight back.

He's still not there? Seriously?

Ugh, fine. That’s all.

You have no idea what flight he’s on.

Ugh, how would I even know Crown’s flight schedule?

Even when I wanted to get rid of him, I had to do it thru outside sources.

Then don’t you wonder who tipped off the press?

Everyone wants to get rid of him, Mom. They’re all sick of him.

Why would I bother?

I hope when I return, I won’t have to clean up after you again.

Mom, seriously? Stop talking or you’ll miss your flight.

Okay, take good care of yourself.

Please calm down, Armin will be here soon.

What time will you be here?

- What’s going on? - What time will you be here?

Please calm down.

Look! That’s him, right.

That’s him!

Armin, may we have a moment for an interview?

Please, calm down.

- Mr.Armin! - Have a moment for an interview?

Please, calm down.

He’ll answer all your questions, but please stay calm, everyone.

It’s alright.

I’ll answer all your questions.

How do you respond to the photos that have been leaked?

Can you tell us about your relationship with Mr. Charlie?

Are you homosexual?

it’s quite strange.

I was photographed without permission.

Besides not being protected, I ended up as the victim.

What do you mean by that?

However, I understand and will respond to every question directly.

I don’t deny it.

I did go to see Mr. Charlie at the studio.

Because he invited me to do a photoshoot.

There was nothing inappropriate between us.

But the photos that were leaked were intended to ruin my reputation.

And he didn’t just do this,

not just to me.

Who is it? Can you tell us?

Mr. Ren.

Mr. Ren.

How is Mr. Ren involved in this?

What does Mr. Ren have to do this?

- Why? - Can you give me more details?

It’s time to expose and eliminate them all.

They won’t be able to mess with you like this anymore.

The first plan is…

Brave to be a purple cow.

You just want to stand out from the crowd.

You have to make up an unnatural story instead of running away or denying it like others,

but I want you to accept the whole truth and fight back.

No one thought a small star like you would dare to fight against Stardaily.

You must do what others dare not.

Society is waiting to attack you.

They have no idea you're about to strike back.

Mr. Ren intended to harm me ever since the perfume photoshoot.

The media under his control became a weapon to destroy me.

He destroyed my reputation and that of other actors caught in false rumors.

Aren’t you all surprised?

Why does Star Daily Report

keep releasing damaging rumors about many rising stars, over and over?

Do you have any evidence to support that, Mr. Armin?

Yeah, exactly!

At lease show us the evidence.

Had no one been violating my rights and waiting around like this, the news would be out by now.

I believe someone has already reported this to the police.

Report to the police?

- What did report to the police about? - Can you give me more details?

Police have confirmed in a statement that Armin’s interview was truthful.

Ren has been behind the leaks that damaged the reputations of many actors.

And he’s been constantly harassing Armin all along.

What the heck is this?! Argh!

This is insane!

Hello.

Hello Ren, we are going to cancel tomorrow's commercial shoot.

Huh?

Hey, sir, that’s not possible. I’ve already booked and locked all the slots.

Alright, I get it.

Missing one gig won’t kill me. Whatever you want.

Muay, Mauy.

It’s you.

I gave a statement to the police and submitted proof that Ren hired the paparazzi.

I’ve given both the police and the press the details about the harassment of Mr. Armin on the perfume shooting day.

I truly want to apologize to you, Mr. Armin, about that day.

I'm sorry.

You did the right thing.

But I’m scared of Ren’s mother who owns the biggest entertainment magazine.

- I’m afraid... - You’re with Crown now.

You have nothing to worry about.

I can't believe Mr. Tada snatched up Ren's manager.

Mr. Tada is well aware of what I want.

Honestly, I’m really not that good of a person.

I simply can’t keep working with someone who lacks morals like this.

And I want to help you too, Mr. Armin.

Thank you once again, Mr. Tada, for helping me.

Wenai, kindly escort her to the lounge to rest.

Please come this way.

Thank you for your plan.

I’m not doing this just for you.

But I’m also doing it for our entire industry.

Mom, do something!

They’ve suspended me from all my work.

I don’t know what to do, Mom…

I just want to be an actor.

I can’t even save myself right now.

More than half the sponsors have pulled out.

And Crown might sue me.

You’re going to bankrupt me. Are you even aware of that?

Didn’t you say you had a plan? Where is it now, huh?

It’s Tada, Mom! He’s the one who framed me.

I’m begging you stop messing things up any further.

Okay.

I know exactly how I’m going to handle this.

Hello.

H.. Hello.

Ren.

What do you want?

Well… um… here’s the thing…

I want to apologize.

It wasn’t on purpose this morning, I swear.

The whole thing… it was just my own emotions.

Um… I’m really sorry.

It’s just… if you could please give me a chance?

Can you please tell Mr.Tada not to press charges and put my mom into bankruptcy.

This is just...a small misunderstanding. It’s my fault.

It doesn’t matter who did what for whom.

But It was you and your mother who committed those evil acts.

Wait...

Are you telling me you’re not going to help me?

I’m helping.

I’m helping others not to be bullied by people like you.

Hey!

Damn it.

You should probably stay at my place tonight.

Is that him? Where is he?

Did he exit that way or this way ?

Try zooming inside.

Damn!

Get in.

It’s you again.

This time, I think you should reconsider your answer.

Because by now, you must know what you’re messing with?

Yes.

They ruined my life.

But you still have a chance to win this game.

Fine!

I’ll work with you just to get back at Armin and Tada.

Damn it.

Good evening.

Welcome.

I’m glad you’re here with me.

Come in.

Hot News: Mr. Ren is currently holding a press conference on the matter.

Let's tune in.

What made you decide to expose Armin and Charlie?

Exactly. You intended to frame Armin, didn’t you?

- How so.. - Please clarify.

Did you slander him?

Hold on, listen up.

Armin isn’t the saint you think he is.

- How so? - What’s so bad about him?

The reason he’s still standing is because he’s Tada’s favorite sponsored sweetheart.

Huh?

Tada? You mean the president of Crown Enterprises.

Isn’t that risky?

Saying stuff like that without fear of being sued?

Why’s that?

Is there any proof?

Aren't you afraid of being sued?

I don’t say anything without evidence.

- Hell yeah! - If you don’t believe me, go ask them yourself.

- Haha! You made the right choice, Ren. - He really did use sex to trade for fame with him.

This is exactly how we win.

Do you actually have any proof?

Welcome drink here you are.

Aren’t you stressed at all?

To be honest, I’m really stressed.

That sugar baby rumor is hurting you and Crown right now.

It’s not just any sugar baby scandal… it’s a guy.

It’s not that I’m against same-sex stuff. It’s just people out there still aren’t okay with it.

Don’t worry about it.

Ren’s credibility is already falling apart.

Soon enough, it’ll be nothing more than a rumor.

Scandals only make people more curious.

And if they find out about us you might get into trouble.

I don’t want you to have a hard time because of me.

I’ve got something urgent to handle. Please wait here for me.

And don’t worry, everything will get better soon.

Mr. Thiwthit, I’ve got word from an inside source

every newspaper is running a scandal about Mr. Tada tomorrow.

Crown’s going down for sure this time.

Of course Star Daily started it.

But come on who’d dare mess with Crown.

Everyone can find courage if we give them enough.

Is it going to be worth it?

If you don’t dare to make the trade, you’ll have to die.

Star Daily doesn’t want to go down alone.

They want to take their enemies with them.

Are you coming back yet?

Look to the opposite side.

What do you want me to look at?

Outside the balcony.

What do you want me to see?

I’m going to start counting now.

3...2...1...

Turn on the lights.

Do you like it?

I hope this will help you feel less stressed.

I love it.

You know, there’s only one thing that can really stress me out.

That is seeing you unhappy.

Is this the urgent matter you were talking about?

Well, I just want you to be happy as soon as possible.

Right now, we might not be able to go public yet.

Because of work and social matters.

But with TD , you can always be yourself.

TD loves you , Tada loves you too.

I want to see you shine as the brightest star.

♫ Do you believe in destiny? ♫

♫ Like a book already written ♫

♫ Two strangers once so far apart ♫

♫ Now standing here, heart to heart ♫

♫ The day I found you ♫

♫ Could not have been just a coincidence ♫

♫ It was fate that drew the line, making me love you ♫

♫ I believe that ♫

Now I know why I hit reset, Why I came back to life again?

So that I could find your love.

♫ Even if the story were different, ♫

♫ I think we'd still be the same ♫

♫ Nothing would change ♫

♫ Even if I turned back time and start over countless times ♫

♫ I'm still certain it would be you ♫

♫ Every time I meet you ♫

♫ I'd fall in love with you just the same ♫

♫ Though the years may pull us far apart ♫

♫ Someday we'll meet, just like the start ♫

♫ The moment I look into your eyes ♫

♫ Believe me, I will love you the same ♫

Crown has stayed silent and unaffected by those damaging rumors.

I knew it.

You know about the media you hired, right? They’ve sent someone here.

If we can’t pay them on time, they’ll expose you.

And target Venus instead.

- How should we handle this? - Can you just stop talking for a moment?

Go tell them...

I’ll pay on time.

Send the bill and make them leave.

GO!

Alright, then please follow up on the tasks I assigned.

I’m here to ask back the shares of Crown that were once given to Venus.

That share? You already used it to trade for the MD position at Venus.

How can you just ask for it back so easily?

I know, but I have a way to make Venus grow even more by using Crown’s shares.

How?

I will use Crown’s shares to pressure Crown into accepting Venus as part of the company.

We will attract talented people and amazing artists from Crown.

Just by doing this, we will gain a bigger market share.

Are you interested?

As you know,

right now 30% of Crown’s shares are in Venus’s hands.

That’s almost half, you know, Mr.Tada.

What do you want?

I want Venus to become a part of Crown.

We will collaborate, manage together,

and grow side by side.

And what if I say no?

You wouldn’t say that,

because you know how important that 30% stake really is.

If I sell it to your enemies who are everywhere,

Crown will be in big trouble.

Am I right Mr. Tada?

Wenai.

Where is Mr. Tada?

Tada is in the room talking with the Venus representative.

Is it Thiwthit?

The Venus CEO.

- In past life, 2015. - Since Crown teamed up with Venus,

- In the period after Crown Enterprise merged with Venus. - Since Crown teamed up with Venus,

- In the period after Crown Enterprise merged with Venus. - things at Crown have gone quiet.

Every show they put out just bombs, losing big time.

While Venus hits number one in ratings every time.

And they even manage to launch their artists internationally.

If Crown doesn’t step up and fix the game soon.

It won’t just be Crown going quiet, it’ll be Crown fading away completely.

Armin, just a moment.

Wenai, call a shareholders’ meeting.

We might have to let Venus join Crown.

Yes sir.

You must not do that under any circumstances.

You must not let Venus join Crown.

And you have to buy back all the shares from Venus.

But the 30% shares cost a huge amount, sir.

Please tell me, why should I believe you?

In the future, Venus will cause trouble for Crown.

That’s all I can say.

I know it’s hard to believe, but please trust me.

I need more time to really think this through.

Tonight, all parties are fully prepared for the Y2K crisis,

Counting down to the millennium toward the year 2000.

You’re still working?

It’s New Year’s Eve.

I’m busy handling this coming Millennium year thing, you know.

Everyone is scared of Y2K,

worried the virus will crash their computers.

I have to standby with the IT team.

I probably won’t get to countdown with you.

Trust me, tonight will pass just like any other New Year’s Eve.

Just another ordinary year.

How can it be ordinary?

I’ve heard rumors from many sources.

That something bad is really going to happen.

How about this?

Shall we make a bet?

If the Y2K curse doesn’t happen,

you have to do as I say.

Are you brave enough?

Sure thing.

I’ve never been afraid before.

Five Four Three Two One.

I’ll make your fears disappear myself.

Happy New Year.

See? I told you everything would stay just fine.

Mr. Tada Sir,

The IT team says everything’s back to normal now.

Okay.

Then please tell everyone, they can go home and celebrate.

Yes sir.

You...

really came from the future, didn’t you?

You lost the bet to me.

You have to do exactly as I say.

What do you want in return?

I want you to buy up all of Thiwithit’s shares.

It’s not that I don’t trust you...but to be honest,

If we buy back the shares, Crown will lose liquidity.

That’s a serious risk.

Just like how Y2K was supposed to be dangerous, right?

And in the end, nothing happened just like I told you.

This situation is the same.

If you bring Venus into Crown, that’s what you should really be worried about.

Trust me on this… Mr. Tada.

I told you to negotiate for management rights at Crown,

not to sell our shares to Crown.

If they won’t let me manage, then I have to sell, right.

But you have no right to sell my shares.

Your rights ended the moment you became MD of Venus.

The shares are mine, and all the money is mine.

That’s my money.

I want all of it back.

Investment comes with risks.

You’re a businessman, aren’t you?

You should understand this rule well.

I think you need to reconsider your moves on this board.

I’m watching closely to see how you’re going to turn this game around.

Damn it!

You said you’d sink Crown.

Why is it still going strong?

But you and I are left with nothing no shares, no money, nothing at all.

Oh!

What ?

What?

If you don't pay your debt,

I won't just send a photo, but you who will become a corpse.

What the hell is going on here?

If I don’t get the money to them, they’ll kill me for sure.

Mom… you have to help me.

God… What can I even do for you?

I don’t have any money left either.

Shit!

Damn it!

Mom… can you mortgage the house?

I’ll use part of the money to pay off my debt,

and the rest…

I’ll use it to get revenge.

I will take back everything that belongs to me from Tada.

Are you out of your mind?

This house is the only thing I have left.

This is our last option…

unless you have a better idea.

Damn!

Are you sure that you can really pull this off?

Failure is not an option.

I have to do this.

Damn it!

It’s all because of Tada.

If he wasn’t around, everything would be so much easier.

After Tada graduated and returned from abroad.

- After Tada graduated and returned from abroad. - Our images look great together, bro.

The heir to the Crown empire.

Just imagine, if we team up,

no one can take down Crown.

You just say what you want, and I’ll make sure you get it all.

I don’t want anything from you.

And it’s better to not pretend we’re family.

But if you want Crown Enterprise to be what my father dreamed of.

Then you should know what matters most.

The sole Chief Executive Officer of Crown will be...

Mr. Tada.

Hey!

That’s not true.

I’ve worked hard for what’s mine for so long.

There’s no way he can just swoop in and take it.

I won’t accept this.

You should respect my father’s decision.

Don’t think that running Crown is that easy.

The board doesn’t trust a kid like you to handle things.

If I fail to meet my father’s expectations, and the board loses confidence in me.

I'm willing to give up this right if I fail.

But if I can bring Crown back to being number one in this country,

then you and your son must stay out of Crown’s management forever.

If I can’t have it,

then neither can you.

No matter how far apart we are, do you feel it too?

Someone’s been waiting,

Hoping love will return.

When knowing it’s time to say goodbye.

Oh darling, I’m ready to confess my love.

Bravo!

The song you just sang was really beautiful.

Hello, Thiwthit.

I came here because I have a good proposal for you.

Your account balance is insufficient.

Please top up.

Who are you calling?

I’m getting jealous, you know.

Who?

Calling Auntie Jeed.

Uh, hey, can I borrow your phone for a sec?

I forgot to top up mine.

Sure.

But let me take care of some business first.

Wenai, please top up Armin’s phone.

Hmm… let’s say...

a hundred thousand.

That’s too much.

Wenai said the exact same thing as you.

Then top it up with the maximum amount possible.

I’m done with my business.

You can use the phone as you like.

I’m kinda jealous of you, you know that, right.

Only Aunt Jeed is allowed.

'Min-Min' is that my name.

Hey you.

Hey you.

Min-Min.

No peeking, okay.

Too late now, but Min-Min already saw it.

Min-Min’s sorry.

Hey!

I know you’re teasing me.

But why do I feel like I actually like it?

But what about mine?

What did you save my name as?

I just saved it as your normal name.

I’m gonna go take this call first.

Excuse me,

please let Min-Min pass.

Make yourself comfortable, but your phone’s right here.

You even saved my name as just ‘Tada’.

So cold, aren’t you?

I'm sorry.

Let me reset your name.

There.

Are you happy now?

That should be more than enough, 'Darling'.

I'm happy now Min-Min.

Here you are.

Wenai , If it’s not important, you’re dead meat.

Then I won’t be dying anytime soon, because this is something really important.

Thiwthit officially introduces Narin as the new artist of Venus Entertainment.

It’s such a pleasure that the two of us get to work together.

Why was Mr. Thiwthit able to bring Narin to join Venus Entertainment?

Well then, why don’t you ask him in question directly?

I have full confidence in Venus.

Even though Venus is a smaller company than Crown,

I’m confident it will bring me more happiness than Crown ever could.

Does that mean you weren’t happy at Crown?

So, was there a problem with Crown?

Is there anything you’d like to say to Crown?

Was there a conflict between you and the company?

Well, your move to a new label has really become the talk of the town.

Now do you believe what I said?

I’m going to show the world just how foolish Tada was.

To let someone as valuable as you slip away.

Bro, I need to talk to you.

In private.

Go ahead.

Narin is one of us now.

How did you manage to pull a Mega star like Narin away from Crown?

Just Narin’s songs alone have captured a big share of the market,

and they’ve also increased Venus’s stock value significantly.

I’m just letting them sacrifice a few pawns,

so I can easily capture the queen.

No matter how strong someone is,

everyone has a weakness, don’t they?

I just don’t understand why Thiwthit had to do that?

He wants to destroy me.

- But he’s your younger brother. - He’s not even same the blood as mine

Just the son of Dad’s new wife.

Since Dad remarried,

he brought that woman and Thiwthit into our lives.

You really don’t like it, do you?

The presence of that woman and Thiwthit, is a reminder that...

Dad betrayed Mom and me.

I’ve been trying to keep them away from managing Crown anymore.

So he took revenge by using your secret relationship.

I don’t think this is just a game anymore.

Thiwthit is serious.

I just want to see how he’s going to play this game?

Don’t just have fun, be careful.

Keeping a snake so close, one day it might just bite you.

What's up Phat?

What? Auntie Jeed fell.

Which hospital is she at?

Okay, I will meet you there.

I’ll go with you.

You should be here.

Everyone’s watching us right now.

It’d be better if we don’t go anywhere together.

But...

I’m begging you, please.

I don’t want to be a weak spot for Thiwthit to hurt you

Armin.

I don’t want to be disappointed again.

I don’t want to be anyone’s toy anymore.

Please don’t leave me.
