[Lee Ma Ri's Love, According to Her Close Associate]

It probably wasn't written by Byung Joon.

Right.

You'll always have to deal with these kinds of articles

while you're with Lee Ma Ri.

Why are you getting involved in that kind of relationship?

I have to go.

Sorry.

Chul Soo.

Hey, Kim Chul Soo!

After a reporter exposes the impure motives of Kim Chul Soo

who was the ghostwriter for top actress Lee Ma Ri...

Mr. Seo probably made up that article.

He's Chul Soo's friend so he wouldn't write an article

saying that Chul Soo made a move on me for the sake of money.

Right?

To others, this article will seem like the truth.

To be honest, I also think this article is close to the truth.

As long as you two are together

people won't stop making these kinds of assumptions.

Because of his relationship with you, Kim Chul Soo has lost everything.

How will you make it up to him?

With money, like the article says?

You closed early.

We can't stay open these days because of all the reporters.

That's too bad.

You had to quit your job at school too.

Loving Lee Ma Ri cost you a lot, right?

Why are you here?

Have you read the article?

Reporter Jeon Byung Joon worked so hard on it.

What could you possibly do with such lies?

I can at least save Lee Ma Ri.

If you cooperate with me, I can still save Lee Ma Ri somehow.

What do you mean?

I thought you were a smart guy.

That article may have ruined Kim Chul Soo, but not Lee Ma Ri.

Hold a press conference and admit that the article is true.

Tell them you never loved Lee Ma Ri

that you coaxed her into letting you ghostwrite for her

and that you used Lee Ma Ri for her money.

I'll give you suitable compensation.

Why don't you go abroad write a couple of books and then come back in a few years?

What are you talking about?

Ma Ri will be given another chance.

And this may be the last chance for you.

Things will only get worse for you if you stay with Lee Ma Ri.

Think about it.

[Kim Chul Soo]

There's no use crying like this here.

Ye Rin?

Are you dumb or are you just naive?

Ye Rin...

Stop crying.

What are you doing here? Why didn't you answer your phone?

Come out.

I was so worried because you didn't pick up.

I don't know how I managed to come here.

Come out.

Lee Ma Ri!

Lee Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri.

You don't answer my calls, you run away the minute you see me...

Have you seen the article?

Yes.

What did you think when you saw the article?

Let me see your face.

That you'll break up with me?

No.

Things get more and more difficult for you because of me.

You might end up regretting this.

I can't regret it just because things are difficult.

So it is difficult?

I'm all right.

It's not all right, it's too hard for me.

You said you'd understand if I said it was too hard for me.

And that you'd just let me go.

It's hard for me.

Kim Chul Soo!

You want to end this?

Let's do that then.

If we end this, it's going to be much easier for us.

So let's go our separate ways.

I'm just worried that we'll end up breaking up.

If these things continue to happen, you might grow tired and just leave me.

I won't.

We're facing these difficulties because we're trying not to break up.

This is a problem.

It's only been two days and I feel like I haven't seen you in so long.

Those articles don't bother me.

Even now that you're supposedly a guy

who made a move on an actress for her money?

But it's not true.

It's a lie.

The only thing real to me is Lee Ma Ri.

You said I'm fake.

Remember?

The day you hid here.

Yes.

I regretted it the minute I said it. Please forgive me.

Lee Ma Ri is the only real thing to me.

Your hair...

Your cheeks...

Your hands too.

all these things are real to me.

Me too.

Kim Chul Soo is probably the only real thing in my life.

Thank you.

I knew you'd come.

So you saw the article?

How far do you plan to take this?

To the very end.

Until Lee Ma Ri comes back to her senses.

I thought about why you keep doing this.

It's because of me.

As long as I'm with you, you'll keep doing this.

Here.

I've liquidated everything.

Your penalty?

I'll need some time to liquidate my other assets.

I'll pay you the rest as soon as I get it.

I hope it'll help out the company a little.

Lee Ma Ri!

Let's go our separate ways now.

I'm sorry, but no matter how much

you manipulate the media, Chul Soo and I won't waver.

So just give it up.

Ma Ri.

Let's end it.

I'm retiring.

I'm going to have a press conference soon, so come if you have time.

Ma Ri.

Jang Soo.

I'll talk to you later.

Ma Ri...

We should meet.

Chul Soo.

- You're here. - Yes.

I heard.

Well, it's all over the newspaper and TV...

I heard you can't even lecture at other schools.

But Chul Soo, if colleges won't accept you

cram schools can't accept you either.

Everyone knows your face.

The parents won't allow it.

But it's not true that you made a move on her, right?

I know very well that you're not like that.

So I've been telling everyone that it's not true.

Well, okay, I just wanted to see if it's possible.

About Lee Ma Ri... How is she?

I'm sure you're not really dating her.

Was there really something between you two?

Let's not talk about that.

It's okay.

She's gotten involved with every man she's acted with...

Ma Ri paid you the penalty and left?

Then TS Entertainment has lost legal control over Lee Ma Ri?

That can't happen.

Money doesn't resolve everything.

That would actually work better for you.

Like I said, we're not interested in TS Entertainment without Lee Ma Ri.

Personal feelings can ruin business.

Are you speaking from experience?

Lee Ma Ri is a pan-Asian star.

She's someone our company must partner with.

Please work it out.

But...

Why aren't you taking care of it yourself?

I don't want to be the one to separate Lee Ma Ri and Kim Chul Soo.

Please move aside.

I'll give you a chance to take my picture later, so please move aside.

How long do we have to live with this?

How much profit have we lost?

Profit?

We haven't even been able to open.

This is all because of Lee Ma Ri...

Lee Ma Ri...

Hello.

I'm sorry about everything.

Yes, Yoo Ri.

Ma Ri?

Okay.

It's been hard for you because of me, right?

There's no use talking about that.

I'm sorry.

So what do you plan to do?

Please accept me, Big Sister.

Please.

It's not going to be that easy.

Chul Soo can't lecture anymore.

In our situation, Chul Soo will have to make money doing whatever he can.

I'll probably be able to help with that.

- Look... - Lee Ma Ri!

So you're saying you'll give money to Chul Soo?

So you're really planning to make him into a pimp?

This won't work.

If Chul Soo stays with you in his situation

it'll just be a matter of time until those articles become the truth.

I wish you'd end it.

Me too.

I'll stay here until you accept me.

I'll do that.

Everyone's blaming us.

So...

The only people who can accept us are Chul Soo's aunts and his sister.

I don't have a family.

We only have Chul Soo's family to count on, so I won't give up.

Please accept me.

That's enough.

The reporters are here, why did you come here?

I can't come?

It's not that, but...

This is nice.

I like it here.

What are you doing?

This feels like mine.

But why aren't you saying it?

You said you'd say it when you see me.

I've been waiting, but you haven't said it.

Say it.

'I like you.'

What's so hard about that?

What's so easy about it?

You really can't say it?

You've never said it before?

Really?

But you're so good with words...

Fine, I'll wait.

But you have to say it to me, okay?

It feels so good to be here with you like this.

Is something wrong?

I'm free now.

I've settled my debt with Mr. Seo.

I'm retiring.

Retiring?

Ma Ri's really going to quit?

Does this make sense to you?

I guess it makes sense to Ma Ri.

I'm really disappointed.

Disappointed?

Yes.

You don't know what love is, do you?

What?

You've never been in love, have you? That's why you don't understand.

Think of what we can do about this situation

because I can't think of anything.

How come I don't see Reporter Jeon today?

What?

Nothing.

You were holding him yesterday...

You miss him already?

What?

That Reporter Jeon... This is all because of him.

I know you're in a difficult situation

but I don't think it's right to decide impulsively.

I'm all for leaving Mr. Seo, but why retire?

You don't think I should?

You lost your job and your future's become uncertain because of me, too.

That sounds like it's all over for me.

That's not what I mean.

Then what do you mean?

You lost everything because of me.

I don't know how I should compensate you for that

but that's why I've given up everything too.

Why do you think I've lost everything because of you?

Why are you trying to compensate me?

Can't I compensate you?

This is my own problem.

It's not Lee Ma Ri who caused it

and I don't want anyone to compensate me.

Okay, fine.

But I spent everything I own on the penalty for leaving my agency.

I did it because I wanted to be with you.

Can't you just understand me on a day like this?

How can I understand when you're retiring just to be with me?

I don't want to run away.

I hope Lee Ma Ri can be the same.

How do I tell Chul Soo?

I feel so bad.

I'm sorry, Chul Soo.

I should approach him more humbly.

I'm sorry, Chul Soo.

Chul Soo, I'm sorry.

I really didn't write that article.

I...

Chul Soo, just kill me.

It's okay.

I'm going out for a walk.

I guess I didn't do much wrong.

Ma Ri.

I'm really sorry.

I really...

It's okay.

Hold on.

Look.

I wish you'd stop coming here.

I'm already scared that Chul Soo had to quit his job and can't write anymore.

It makes me mad when people say all those things on TV.

They talk about Chul Soo as if he's a bad person.

I'm sorry.

It's my fault.

I know you're not a bad person.

And I know that Chul Soo likes you.

But...

It's hard for me to look at you.

I'm sorry.

But...

I'll probably keep coming.

Because I like Chul Soo.

Chul Soo.

Can we talk?

I'm touched that you're willing to sit with me like this.

It's hard for you, right?

What is it you want to say?

I met with Eun Young.

She's a good girl.

I told her you'd go back to her if she just waits

and she said you wouldn't want that.

I like girls like that.

I feel rest assured with her.

But...

Because everyone's calling you a jerk

and telling you two to break up...

It makes me mad.

Chul Soo.

Just think simple and do what you want to do.

There's nothing much to life.

All you have to do is take care of your woman.

Should I take Yoo Ri to America?

What are you trying to do?

Yoo Ri needs surgery.

I'll do that as soon as I get the money.

Hello?

Are you okay, Ma Ri?

I heard.

Although you may have made that decision in order to have more freedom

I thought it might still be hard for you.

Where are you?

At home.

I called, thinking you might be feeling down.

I want to see you if that's okay with you.

I'm kind of tired.

Okay, never mind if you don't feel like it.

Okay.

Don't think about anything and just get some rest.

Okay.

If you cooperate with me, I can still save Lee Ma Ri somehow.

Hold a press conference and admit that the article is true.

What could you possibly do with such lies?

I can at least save Lee Ma Ri.

I'm retiring.

I spent everything I have on the penalty for leaving my agency.

I did it because I wanted to be with you.

Is Mr. Seo here?

Tae Suk isn't here.

So he knew I was coming and decided to run away?

Fine.

When Mr. Seo comes back, give him this message.

I won't let him get away with this one.

Get away with what?

I enjoyed the article. It was good.

I'm going to reveal the truth.

Everything.

The truth...

Who'll believe the boy who cried wolf now?

I'm going to reveal everything

starting with who told the media about Lee Ma Ri using a ghostwriter.

There are so many things that are questionable.

Even if it costs me my career as a reporter, I'll reveal everything.

Go ahead.

If I keep coming here...

it's not because of any ulterior motive.

It's to fight for truth and justice, so no one can stop me.

Have a seat.

I'm sorry.

It's been hard for you, right?

I didn't mean for that to happen.

I don't want to hear that.

It has been hard for me, but I know it hasn't been easy for you either.

But you should've never let that kind of article be published.

Take this.

It's Chul Soo's novel.

His novel is really good.

If you feel any remorse, help him to be able to write again.

Actually, I came to tell you something.

What is it?

I've been contemplating what I should do

but I thought it'd be better for me to tell you.

You've become a celebrity.

It must be uncomfortable for you to come to school so I'm sorry for making you come.

Not at all, Professor Ahn.

So are you planning to give up writing all together?

Keep writing.

Professor.

Eun Young's father, who's also my junior colleague had an idea.

He's thinking of publishing a collection of short stories written by new authors.

I've read one of your short stories before.

With my recommendation, you should be able to include your writing.

Mr. Seo?

He sounded like your agent.

He told Chul Soo to go abroad.

He told him to have a press conference admitting that he tried to use you

and then leave the country.

He said he'd be helping you that way.

I don't know how this could happen

but I thought you should be aware of it.

Yes.

Thank you.

Please stop him.

If Chul Soo goes abroad...

Are you okay?

Actually, I have to go.

I'm sorry.

Going somewhere?

What are you doing to Chul Soo?

What are you afraid of?

You're scared that he'll become another Suh Woo Jin?

I won't let that happen again.

Would you be able to stop it from happening?

Think about what happened with Suh Woo Jin.

I didn't have to persuade him.

He made the ultimate decision.

What would Kim Chul Soo choose?

Hello?

Yoo Ri?

Do you know where Chul Soo went?

School?

Okay.

Professor, I...

I've already decided that I no longer have the right to write.

There's no one who doesn't have the right to write.

It's about whether you want to write or not.

Think carefully about what writing means to your life.

Whether it's really a matter of choice for you.

Don't close your eyes, look it square in the face.

Chul Soo.

I heard from Professor Ahn that your father recommended me.

After what happened...

I didn't ask him to do that.

Your writing is good, that's all.

But I can no longer publish under my own name.

Are you thinking of going abroad or something?

You keep saying you can't do this or you won't do that.

There's really not much I can do right now.

Don't look at me like that.

It'll be all right.

It's been a long time...

since I last saw you smile like that.

Chul Soo.

I won't ask for anything else.

I just ask that you consider yourself first.

Don't sacrifice yourself for other people.

What are you talking about?

Lee Ma Ri!

I'll see you later.

Let's go.

What's going on?

Why aren't you answering my calls?

I called so many times.

My phone was in my bag, so I didn't hear it.

Is something wrong?

I thought you had disappeared.

Where would I go?

Oh, like your first love?

You really thought that?

That doesn't feel very good.

Your first love and your man of destiny are both someone else.

That's silly.

Why?

I like you a million times more.

I always call you first after we fight and I come to you first.

And you don't even answer my calls.

I'm sorry about yesterday.

I know it was hard for you to make the decision to retire

but I couldn't comfort you because I was worried that I was the reason.

Did Mr. Seo...

Never mind.

Do you have anything to say to me?

Like what?

No, never mind.

Where shall we go?

My place?

Your place?

There aren't very many places to go...

Shall we go on a date?

Will you be okay?

I want to go on dates.

You said you've wanted to do that.

Ready?

What's wrong with you?

I should go see Ma Ri.

What happened to my loyalty?

Why is this taking so long to shoot this take?

Then stop messing up.

Well...

The last line is weak.

Director.

What?

Can I ad lib?

Do whatever you want.

What are you trying to do?

Good job, Attorney Kim.

Thanks to you, I was able to get all my money back.

Thank you.

I'll see you later then.

Wait.

You won't be seeing me as a client next time.

Then?

Next time...

I won't get you get away with that!

You bastard.

What are you doing?

You better stay alert!

So he's around here somewhere.

This isn't really an ideal place to date.

This location finder isn't very accurate.

Chul Soo and Ma Ri, I'll pay for my wrongdoings.

First, I'll find out who's responsible for the first ghostwriting article.

Second, I'll make it clear to the whole world

that your love is pure and beautiful.

But I wish this location finder could be more accurate.

Lee Ma Ri's been spotted?

Lee Ma Ri?

Where?

We should come up with an exclusive article.

It looks like a movie theater.

Byung Joon!

That little rat...

You save me here last time.

What?

'The king of bragging.'

What?

Let's look at this together.

[The Sorrows of Young Werther]

You're buying this again?

You said this was your favorite.

And...

This is my gift to you.

Let's go.

Hello.

- One serving, please. - Okay.

It's nice and hot.

Aren't you Lee Ma Ri?

My wife looks a lot like Lee Ma Ri.

She looks so much like her.

Chul Soo should take her to a better place for their date.

And they should disguise themselves better.

What if people recognize them?

They're so happy together.

Yoo Ri.

Is Yoo Ri inside?

She's sick. Aren't you visiting her too much?

Enough already.

I'm visiting her because she's sick.

When you come visit and then leave right away, she's sad for the day.

So I shouldn't come?

That means she misses me.

- You tramp. - Let go.

What did you do with the money we saved for Yoo Ri's medical bills?

Did you take it?

Auntie.

Let go.

Yes, I took it.

What?

I took it so that she can get surgery.

Don't you know she need surgery right away?

You said that was for her medical expenses.

I'm taking her to America.

She's my daughter.

So I'm taking her.

Yoo Ri, pack up.

Mom...

You have no time to waste here.

Come.

Mom...

Hey!

How could you take our money?

How dare she?

It's Kim Chul Soo!

It's Lee Ma Ri.

I'm sorry.

It's Lee Ma Ri.

Why are you all doing this?

Run away.

I almost died.

But where did those two go?

Maybe...?

No way.

Chul Soo probably doesn't even know how to kiss.

Are you here to relax or sleep?

What?

Are you here to relax or to sleep?

What happened?

I thought you'd never come here again.

I'm going to need your help.

Jung Woo Jin offered to merge.

If Ma Ri stays with TS Entertainment.

He'll only take TS Entertainment if Ma Ri stays with us.

I was aware of it.

I knew you were involved in this.

If we merge with Jung Woo Jin's company and Ma Ri comes back

we'll have to work together again.

So let's not be too cold.

Ma Ri's different this time, right?

And that man's not like Suh Woo Jin, right?

Kim Chul Soo...

That conceited guy...

It's time for me to play my wild card.

What?

He's coming back?

I wonder what will happen to Kim Chul Soo and Lee Ma Ri

when her long lost first love comes back.

When Suh Woo Jin comes back, I'll need your help.

That's why I came.

It's me.

I've met all the conditions for the merger.

That's why I'm calling you.

What about Lee Ma Ri?

I had a wild card.

You did?

I have a feeling that it's not something good.

What do you want to do?

The people are probably gone now.

Should we go back out?

You want to stay here for a bit?

It's been a long time.

You seem like you've been to these places a lot.

What?

I guess you really have.

I didn't know we would come to this.

I don't know why Kim Chul Soo has to be condemned for this.

Are you upset?

No.

Really?

Don't cry.

I'm not.

It breaks my heart to see you cry.

It's too hard for me...

You want us to end it?
