If I tell you, will you help me?

With what?

Will you live with me for a month?

Could you each take one question?

You also mentioned her in your book.

I have a question.

A woman whose desires have been fulfilled...

You said exactly what I was going to say.

You could at least explain to me the twenty nine books

mentioned in 'Lovers In Asuka.'

Chul Soo.

Are you not home?

Just one month?

Partners in crime in 'Lovers In Asuka.'

'Sense and Sensibility' was published in 1811...

Hey, Chul Soo.

Man...

Lee Ma...

Prepare the article!

Have we met before?

Since long time ago, I've been watching your movies.

Do you really have to celebrate all these holidays?

Don't make a big deal out of it.

Oh, Eun Young.

You are?

Did I surprise you?

I'm on my way to your place right now.

I just came because I missed you.

Okay, I'll come right now.

I think I need to go.

Is it your girlfriend?

I'm sorry.

Well, then...

Can't you stay?

My girlfriend is here from Japan.

But we made our promise first.

You know I set aside my busy schedule for this?

You know you're being unreasonable right now?

You don't have friends?

You're so lucky.

You have a family, friends, and even a girlfriend.

Fine.

Just go.

Don't be by yourself. Invite someone over.

I don't want anyone but you.

What do you mean?

Think what you want to think.

What do you mean by that?

It means I like you!

Do I really need to explain these things, too?

Yes.

Yoo Ri?

I'll give you a ride.

No thanks.

It'll take you a long time to get to the main street. Isn't it urgent?

Come on.

- Could you bring the chicken right away? - It's coming.

Where's Yoo Ri?

I think she went to see her mom again.

Oh dear...

Ok Ja and Chul Soo will go crazy when the find out.

What do we do?

What's so bad about a daughter wanting to see her own mom?

What are you doing? We've got orders backed up!

Yes, we're coming.

Where did the kids go?

Yoo Ri went to see her friend, and Chul Soo...

Did he go out to fool around with another girl?

Hello.

Hi.

You're here.

Come on in.

- Hello. - Long time no see.

You look busy.

Let me help you.

No, no.

I can't make you work.

When your son fools around, your daughter-in-law becomes...

What? Just take it easy.

Yes. You want some chicken?

No, I'm fine.

Okay, just have a seat then.

Chul Soo.

What?

At the hospital?

Where did I put it?

Man...

When did I lose it?

Lee Ma Ri's private life...

Lee Ma Ri getting intimate with her average Joe boyfriend.

This is totally attention-grabbing.

But this isn't an intimate scene. I always sleep there too.

This is why they call our news 'trash.'

Hey, hey!

Oh, these...

These are altered photos.

See?

They're not altered.

I've altered lots of photos before.

And even if they were altered, I should still publish the article.

It'll make the front page. Our company is struggling, Byung Joon.

He's my best friend.

If that gets published, it'll be all over for me.

It'll be all over for you even if it doesn't get published.

Spare me just this once.

Chul Soo will kill me.

Oh, his name is Chul Soo?

Chul Soo...

Thanks.

You can go now.

But...

I'll call you.

Yoo Ri.

Yoo Ri.

Yoo Ri.

Yoo Ri.

Yoo Ri.

Is she all right?

She's in stable condition now.

Are you...

Chul Soo?

It is Chul Soo.

Chul Soo.

You've got the wrong person.

- Chul Soo. - You've got the wrong person.

Chul Soo!

Chul Soo!

My boy...

You've grown so much.

But you still have the same face.

I heard that you got your PhD.

You were always a smart boy.

What happened to Yoo Ri?

She came to see me a few days ago.

I told her not to come anymore, but she came again today

and collapsed while she was waiting for me.

What's wrong with her?

Why did you make her wait when she's not even well?

What happened to her legs?

Leave.

Just leave.

- Chul Soo. - Just leave!

Chul Soo!

Chul Soo, how's Yoo Ri?

Is she all right?

Why you...

How dare you show up here?

It's been a long time.

Long time, my ass, you tramp!

Auntie...

You witch!

Stop it.

Long time?

Stop it.

Just leave!

How dare you show up here?

Leave now!

I'll be back.

Come back?

Stop it already!

That tramp.

That tramp.

How dare she...

That hurts.

What are you doing?

I didn't mean to see it.

I was just worried and...

Let's go.

Wait.

Go.

What are you doing?

I said I didn't mean to see it.

You said you envy me for having a family.

Do you really?

Go along now.

You've seen enough.

Kim Chul Soo...

Why do you keep seeing things I don't want you to see?

Go.

Wait!

Will you be coming back tonight?

I was about to give up and leave.

What are you doing here?

Have you had dinner?

Thanks.

It's late.

You should go now.

Am I bothering you?

Sorry.

You made time to come and see me, and this had to happen.

I'm disappointed.

You're treating me like a stranger.

Where were you earlier tonight?

I was with someone...

I got it.

This place should be nice and quiet.

Yes.

What is it you wanted to tell me?

Aren't you hungry?

Let's order something to eat.

You normally don't talk while you eat?

Oh, you're not going to talk until I do?

I was just thinking about something.

What are you doing?

Oh, I'm sorry.

So what is it you wanted to say?

You really don't have anything to say, right?

I dated your cousin.

After I rejected his proposal and jumped into the water

people talked a lot about me.

So?

Isn't it awkward for us to be sitting together like this?

I was going to put up with it out of courtesy

but I just can't take this tonight.

I'm sorry.

I should've been honest with you from the beginning.

I like bets.

So I made a silly bet with myself about you.

A bet?

That I wouldn't tell you this until you recognize me first.

Recognize you?

I thought you'd recognize me.

It was a long time ago, so maybe you don't remember.

For me, it's an important memory related to my late mother.

I once gave you a star like this.

The boy who came to the orphanage with his grandfather on Christmas...

After that day, I begged my grandfather a few times

to take me to the orphanage to see you again.

Your name was 'Maria' back then, right?

Well, I wasn't trying to mock you or anything, so please don't get mad.

You said you'd marry me.

I think you said you'd come and get me when we grew up.

I did?

Now bow.

This is my granddaughter.

Say hello, Maria.

Oh, really?

You treat the kids and your own granddaughter the same.

I really admire you, Director Kang.

Oh, no.

Maria.

Your friend didn't get a doll. What should you do?

Good girl.

You came often for a year and I was sad when you stopped coming.

I moved to America to live with my father's family after that.

It's fascinating to meet you like this.

Ha Young.

Yes, I met with her.

I don't feel like telling you everything.

The bet?

Don't forget what you bet on this.

I don't want anyone but you.

What do you mean?

Think what you want to think.

What do you mean by that?

It means I like you!

He's in a meeting!

Let go!

I have to see him!

Mr. Seo!

What's going on?

I'm Reporter Jeon Byung Joon from Shinhwa Entertainment.

You need to hear this.

I'm sorry, I told him to wait, but he wouldn't listen.

Let go!

You don't have a minute to waste.

So like I said, our chief editor got that picture

and he's about to post it on the internet!

It may have already been posted.

If we don't do something about this, Chul Soo...

Is this Choi Song Wook of Shinhwa Entertainment?

You can't tell him about me.

Reporter Jeon Byung Joon is in my office right now.

Let's not post that article.

An exclusive interview about Choi Tae Woong and Shin Yoo Soo's affair.

They're really...?

I'll make sure Reporter Jeon Byung Joon comes back with an article in his hand.

So I ask you cooperate with us.

Stop by from time to time.

I'll provide you with inside scoops.

That would be my pleasure.

Now where's my business card?

Mr. Seo, your sister is here.

Tell her to come in.

Tae Suk, you're telling me to take on this newbie?

Mr. Seo, I can't leave Ma Ri.

Newbie?

Tae Suk.

Mr. Seo!

You came at the right time.

Say hello to Reporter Jeon Byung Joon.

He'll be our exclusive reporter from now on.

Say hello.

- Tae Suk. - Mr. Seo.

Shut up!

Prepare for your audition, Jang Soo.

You don't want to?

Then leave.

There are plenty of people to be agents or bodyguards!

I make actors, not actors' pets!

I'll take care of Lee Ma Ri myself from now on!

Where is the general ward?

It's that way.

Thank you.

Yoo Ri.

Chul Soo.

I'm sorry.

But I wanted to see Mom.

Hello?

It's me.

When are you coming?

We need to start our lesson.

I have a lot to tell you.

I'm not telling you to come right away

but you should tell me when you're coming, so I don't wait forever.

We made a deal.

I can't come right now. You saw my situation.

I can't leave right now. Don't wait.

What are you doing this early in the morning?

Don't wait.

What was that?

I'll be tutoring this person from now on.

Your student?

It didn't sound like it.

I've never seen you speak to anyone like that.

Interesting.

Not...

Are you okay now?

Then who'll take care of precious Ma Ri?

Do I really have to work with you?

Talk to Mr. Seo for me.

I heard that Mr. Seo listens to his sister, but I guess that's not true.

Because this is about Lee Ma Ri.

I have to protect her!

I heard that you wanted to be an actor.

Fine, we'll work together.

Try hard to become big, so we don't have to work together.

- Memorize your lines by tomorrow and... - Wait.

What is this?

Is this English?

A Korean-American international lawyer?

That's impossible.

The only English I know is 'ABCDEF,' 'I am a girl, and you are a boy'

'hamburger and cola,' and 'cola refill.'

They actually say 'coke' instead of 'cola.'

Well good for you.

I'll see you tomorrow then.

I can't do this!

Find me something where I can use nunchuks.

Do you know what a big opportunity this is?

There are aspiring actors lined up for this audition.

You have to be a top actor in order to pick and choose the roles you want to play.

I don't want this! Nunchuks!

Hey!

Fine.

I'll make you a deal.

If you pass this audition, I'll let you be in Lee Ma Ri's next movie.

Really?

Hey.

Study hard.

Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri.

I'm in here.

You called me to have breakfast with you?

No.

I made this for myself.

You said you don't eat rice for breakfast.

You told me to eat it.

You said it would get my brain in gear.

Sit.

You haven't already eaten, have you?

No.

Try it.

How is it?

Not bad.

I had to help cook thirty something servings of

soup and rice every day until high school.

Thirty-some servings?

Where did you live?

Oh, how's your sister?

She's okay.

That was your mother, right?

Let's not talk about that.

You haven't seen your mom for a long time?

I asked you not to talk about that.

But still...

Don't be so mean to her.

Make up with her.

What?

At least you have a mom.

It's better to know that she's alive somewhere in this world than to...

A parent being alive isn't necessarily a good thing.

It's sometimes worse to be abandoned on purpose than

to lose your parents in an accident.

I'm sorry.

I wasn't talking about you.

She left us when we were young.

You got me to talk.

Are you okay?

That's all you're eating?

Are you sure you didn't already eat?

You ate more for me, right?

No.

What is this?

I have to read again?

All I could do is have discussions with you and help you with the resources.

Your job is to read all these books.

I read three last time.

The other two were supplemental materials.

What?

Are you playing around with me?

What are you going to read next?

I'll pick this one.

You picked that because it's the thinnest, right?

Go ahead and read that.

I have to go to school today.

I need to meet someone too.

What are you doing today?

I haven't scheduled anything these days.

When will you be back?

Around eight?

- Will you eat before you get home? - Go ahead and eat first.

Okay.

What are you doing?

We're like a real married couple.

Can you stop saying that? People will think we're really...

I don't want anyone but you.

What do you mean?

Think what you want to think.

What do you mean by that?

It means I like you!

It's me. I'll let myself in.

It's Mr. Seo.

Hide.

Mr. Seo?

Hurry.

Just hide anywhere.

- Where? - Just go in the room.

What were you doing?

How did you know the code?

It's only natural that I should know it.

For security purposes.

These are scripts for you to review.

And I brought a painting.

Where should I hang it?

I think it'd look nice in the kitchen.

What are you doing?

I'll hang it, just leave it.

Never mind.

Let's hand it in your bedroom.

What are you doing?

Why are you going into my bedroom?

Are you crazy?

What do you think you're doing?

Are you trying to hang a picture in the bathroom?

You're right.

That's a bad idea.

- Chul Soo. - Eun Young.

I wanted to take your essay.

I only have it on my computer. I can take it, right?

It should be on the top shelf.

I can't talk right now, so I'll see you at school.

What am I doing?

Japan?

Lee Ma Ri?

Are you here, Chul Soo?

Eun Young!

What happened?

I'm sure he only ghostwrote for her.

Plus, Lee Ma Ri never lasts more than one hundred days with a guy.

So don't worry.

I don't know anything other than that.

Eun Young, don't cry! You have to be strong!

You know Chul Soo's...

Byung Joon.

Can you please be quiet?

Okay.

It's just...

one picture.

Right...

I'd better get going now.

I'm supposed to meet Chul Soo at school.

Okay.

Can you not tell Chul Soo about this?

Okay.

Bye, Eun Young.

Eun Young, I'm so sorry.

Man, I have too many secrets now.

Let's make up.

That's what I came to say.

How typical of you to try to make up this way.

I'd like you to not make unannounced visits like this from now on.

I'll come to the office, so you can go now.

Okay, come to the office. I'll be waiting.

Look over the scripts, and whichever one you choose,

I'll make the arrangements right away.

You can hang the picture yourself.

You have someone who can help you, right?

It's cold, so dress warm.

They've been living together?

He's gone.

You were in there?

You could've gotten caught.

Were you offended?

What's wrong?

Chul Soo.

I don't know what we're doing here.

I got a call from my girlfriend as I was hiding in the bathtub.

I didn't think this was wrong, but as I was talking to her, I realized it is.

What are we doing?

We're only studying.

You said you like me.

I'm sure that was a joke

so let's stop playing around here.

You can read by yourself.

But I need you.

Stop saying those things to me.

Don't be so easy with just anyone!

Sure, I had fun with you.

But that's it.

To make things clear, I don't have any feelings for you.

And it'll stay that way.

To me, you're not real.

I'm not a fool who misinterprets a shallow fantasy with a celebrity as true love.

There's a woman I love, I've liked her for a long time

and it'll stay that way.

To me...

you're fake.

Fake?

Right.

I hear that all the time.

But I never thought I'd be hearing it from you.

So I was fake to you.

You're right.

I'm totally fake.

I lied when I said I like you.

It just came out, so you don't need to worry about it.

But...

Do you know what it's like to live a fake life?

Chul Soo.

- I'll take that. - You'll spill it.

I didn't know that you two knew each other.

So your father published a new book?

Yes. He said he'll come and visit you in the new year.

That guy never keeps his promises.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I talk like this because he's my junior.

So you're determined to find a job?

Yes, I'm sorry.

Should I find something for you?

I'm looking.

Oh, have you read this book?

No.

It was written by a very pretty actress.

Oh, she came to our school once.

Didn't she talk to you?

She was just asking for directions.

She's pretty, isn't she?

It's pretty fun.

I even wrote a review.

Really?

I should read it too.

But, Professor, would you have praised this book

the same way if it had been written by my dad?

Choi has lost his touch.

I liked the lyrical approach of this book.

A good book is good regardless of who wrote it.

I need to go to a meeting now.

One of the professors ghostwrote a book and it's given all of us headaches.

Ghostwriting is a big problem.

I understand that they need to make a living somehow

but it's sad to see a writer sell his soul and conscience for it.

Then, what's going to happen?

He probably won't be able to stay at our school.

How frustrating...

What's wrong with you these days?

You disappear without telling anyone, you keep fighting with Seo...

And now you show up looking like this?

It's nothing.

How many years have I known you?

I've known you since you started working with me in high school.

Your face says something is wrong.

What do you think about my life?

What's wrong?

I was just wondering about myself.

I was thinking about how I could be real.

Someone said...

I'm fake.

A shallow fantasy.

How rude.

Don't hang out with people like that.

But I think I really like him.

It's so unfair for me.

Aren't you late for your flight?

I can leave now.

I'm sorry.

It must've been hard for you to hear that from Professor Ahn.

You had to ghostwrite in Japan because of me.

I caused you to have to do that.

No, I'm sorry about that.

You said that in Japan you stayed with the person you ghostwrote for, right?

Who was it?

Do you still see that person?

I met the person again in Seoul because of the book.

But we won't be seeing each other again.

When I go back, I'm going to make arrangements to come back right away.

But what about your writing?

I'll work on it here.

I see.

Chul Soo.

I...

like you a lot.

The bag.

What do I do?

Hello?

It's Jung Woo Jin.

Were you expecting someone else's call?

You sounded so excited when you answered.

What were you doing?

I really enjoyed your book.

I was surprised to see my favorite books mentioned.

And I didn't know I'd connect with you like this.

I see.

I want to see you and talk about it.

Are you back from your business trip?

Holden is my favorite.

You went to see Holden?

I was talking about 'Catcher in the Rye.'

Oh, the book...

Your mind must be somewhere else.

I have some things to think about.

I always catch you at the wrong time.

That's what I thought when I found out that you were dating Ha Young.

And even when you jumped into the water, someone else rescued you first.

I hope I'm not late this time.

What do you mean?

I'm just babbling.

Well, I'm happy that there's something to talk about when we meet.

How am I supposed to do this alone?

Ma Ri, what are you reading?

You'll get lines on your forehead.

Lee Ma Ri is so much prettier in person.

Now you know?

Man!

Ma Ri.

It's been a long time.

You're here.

Hi.

Ma Ri, why do you look so gloomy?

It's because I'm not with you, right?

I heard you're going to act.

I'm playing an international lawyer.

I'm dying. There are more lines in English than Korean.

You know that drama you starred in?

Inter...

'Internet'?

'Interpol'?

Yes, 'Interpol.'

How did you memorize all those lines in English?

Oh, that?

First, I wrote the pronunciation out in Korean, and then memorized them.

And whenever there were difficult words to pronounce.

I took a deep breath a slurred them.

You're doing a lot.

People should do only as much as they can handle...

What's this?

You think this is German?

Yes, Mr. Seo.

Yes.

Ma Ri?

I think you should take this.

Mr. Seo?

[Seo Tae Suk]

Hot, hot...

Let's see what articles have been posted.

What's this?

A writer claims he was the ghostwriter for

a top star's book that recently became a hit.

Is this about Lee Ma Ri's book?

Chul Soo...

Mr. Jung.

Lee Ma Ri.

What's going on?

Someone claimed that he ghostwrote the book.

What kind of nonsense is that?

Are you okay?

Is he crazy?

I won't let him get away with this!

I'll sue him!

If I can't sue him, I'll just destroy him!

What happened?

Can't you see for yourself?

What happened?

- He didn't do it. - How do you know?

I know.

I didn't do it.

Then how did this get out?

Did you make sure no one talked about it?

Do you think anyone under me would dare?

That's why I said you should just avoid public appearances.

Why did you have to expose yourself and cause this?

Why does it matter when what the article claims isn't true?

Do you know what you're talking about?

There's no such thing as truth in this industry.

Once something is put in print, it becomes real.

Plus, the ghostwriting part is true!

What will happen to Lee Ma Ri when people find out that a celebrity

that exists for people's pleasure lied to people?

You can't say that. Lee Ma Ri never wanted to publish this book.

My contract was with you, Mr. Seo.

Lee Ma Ri wasn't even aware of it.

How interesting.

Why are you speaking for my actress?

Stop it!

His job was done when he finished writing the book.

Stop getting him involved!

Now, I want to have a talk with you two.

How long did you think you could keep it a secret?

You think I don't know that you're seeing each other?

What are you talking about?

Are you denying it?

He only helped me with the book.

There's really nothing going on between you two?

You have no right to do this.

No matter what happens, this is none of your business.

So don't do anything to him.

Really?

There's nothing going on?

Mr. Seo!

Fine.

I'll take care of this somehow, but expect more articles about this.

From now on, everything that's seen will end up in an article.

If you two are seen together, it'll be all over

so I ask that you stop seeing each other!

No.

What?

I'll do whatever I want.

Why don't you just confess that it was ghostwritten then?

If they really find out, it's over for both of us.

You're still going to see him?

You want to lose everything you've worked for?

What do you think you'll be able to do if they find out you ghostwrote for someone?

Will you be able to stay at your school?

Will you be able to write novels?

Don't jump to conclusions.

You're still going to see him?

I won't see him.

Hello?

Where are you?

Open the door.

He said we can't see each other.

I can't agree to that.

Subtitles by SBS

A man went in?

Ma Ri sent this.

There's no misunderstanding here.

I caused all this.

Are you and Ma Ri serious?

Do you manage her personal life?

Miss Lee Ma Ri!

What will happen to the ghostwriter?

The reason I couldn't be honest with you was because...

That's enough.

Where are you?

I have something to tell you.
