Kim Chul Soo!

I came here for work, because I needed the money.

I heard she got the money.

Thanks to you, my sister will be able to receive treatment. Thank you.

Of course, it won't compare to the amount of money you've given me...

I'll write for your photo book.

And I'll pay you back the rest of the money somehow, so just wait.

I'll be going now.

Chul Soo!

Kim Chul Soo!

Kim Chul Soo!

Kim Chul Soo!

What did you mean?

What are you saying?

That unless it's about work or money, you won't see me anymore?

Then...

Are you suggesting that we break up?

Yes.

Have you said everything you wanted to say?

I'm sorry I gave you the money.

I did it because it was the only thing I could do.

Your sister's sick, and that was the only thing I could do to help!

Are you saying we shouldn't even acknowledge each other?

What do you want then?

Shall we not break up then?

Should I stay by your side?

No matter what happens?

If you give me money, should I gratefully accept it?

Should I pretend like I don't know whenever you're with your first love?

No matter what happens, should I say 'I love you.'

There's only you and stay with you?

Be honest with yourself.

Weren't you planning to stay with him forever if he said he wanted you to?

I see that's a 'yes.'

Go then.

Don't go like this!

Please just listen to what I have to say.

I don't have to hear anything.

How can you so easily...

Even though you're an actress and good at pretending...

If things were going to be like this

you shouldn't have started them in the first place!

I see that you regret having met me.

Since you lost everything after meeting me...

and have become a total mess. Is that it?

You lost your job and your future and broke up with Eun Young.

And people are criticizing you. Do you regret it because of all this?

Yes. I regret it!

If I could, I'd turn back time to the time before I met you.

Do you want to eat dinner? I'll make it.

But you don't like cooking.

Who? Me?

A long time ago, when we were at my grandmother's nursing home

I believe you never cooked for me because you said you hated cooking.

I guess I did.

I wonder why...

when seeing the person I love eat happily makes me happy too.

Were you like that with Kim Chul Soo?

Go tell Kim Chul Soo the truth.

That you had no choice but to accept me because I'm ill.

That our love is only in the past.

That's not true.

Don't say that.

I wronged you so many times.

I yearned for you for so long...

How can you say that's only in the past?

Then...

Do you still like me?

I'll make dinner. What do you want to eat?

Hello?

Hi, this is Jung Yoon.

Who?

The editor who wanted to publish your book.

Why don't you give yourself another chance?

Other people believe in your talent...

so what is the reason you're hesitating about this?

Who believes in my talent?

Well, for starters, me.

I've read your novels.

Just think of this like you're going to write another novel.

After all, you won't be doing this to become famous or successful.

Is it not right to write a book to become famous or successful?

Who asked you to meet me?

Who gave you my novel?

Chul Soo...

What brings you here?

I've decided to write the novel.

I thought you should be the first one to know.

I'm sorry.

Are you mad at me?

I thought you wouldn't do it if I suggested it, so I didn't push you...

But the publisher was the one who suggested it first.

Yes... I'm grateful for it.

I have nothing else left now anyway.

Don't go like this.

Sorry, but I think I'll have to step outside for a second. Sorry.

When will you start writing your novel?

I've decided to write up her photo book.

I'll start writing my novel once I'm finished with that.

Photo book...

You mean Lee Ma Ri's?

You said you weren't going to write anymore

yet you plan to write her photo book?

Figures.

I wanted to write up the photo book this time.

I see it's always her that gets you to write.

I'm trying not to feel hurt over this, but I can't help it.

But it's okay.

Now that you've said you'll write the novel.

From now on, except when it's about the novel...

I won't bother you again.

I... hope that things go well... between you and Lee Ma Ri.

Sorry.

And thanks.

If you give me the manuscript, I'll copy it and give it to the publisher.

And return the manuscript to you.

Okay.

Thanks for all your help.

How can you leave just like that?

I'll be leaving now.

It's okay.

Do you seriously regret it?

I already told you I do.

Chul Soo.

Do you really want us to break up?

What else do you think I want us to do?

I've already said everything I wanted to say, so go.

Let's go inside.

I'm sorry.

You guys are breaking up?

What do you mean?

I'll give you the manuscript.

It'd be no use talking to him right now.

Let's go.

We need to talk.

Thank you for coming all the way here.

Why did you want to see me?

I have something I wanted to ask you.

Does this concern both me and Mr. Seo?

You might want to forget about the past, but I'm hoping you could tell me.

Is this about the merger?

If so, then why should I have to tell you about my past?

I want to protect Lee Ma Ri.

I want her to be free from Mr. Seo.

What's your reason?

I think you already know the answer to that question.

Even if Ma Ri loves someone else?

Well, happiness isn't always about getting what you want.

Sometimes it's better to just watch someone from afar.

Especially since Ma Ri is a celebrity.

I want to see her make a comeback.

You have the same first name as me, right?

Yes, that's right.

And you're a childhood friend?

Why do you ask?

It made me think of something.

Chul Soo isn't like that.

I'm sure it's a misunderstanding.

He's not really like that, so please tell me.

I see you believe him no matter what.

I suppose you never fought with him or got mad at him?

That's right.

We never fought.

I only made Chul Soo's life more difficult.

I don't think I can forgive you either.

Do you know what has happened to him because of you?

I'm sorry.

I guess asking him to understand me was a bit too much, wasn't it?

Are you seriously asking me that question?

I don't know honestly.

I think I can sort of sympathize with you, though I hate to admit it.

He said he'll write the novel.

Before he met you, he told me that he would never write a story.

But he wrote 'Lovers in Asuka...'

And he said he'll write your photo book.

And now he says he'll write a novel.

He's writing a novel?

That's great news.

I envy you.

Your ability to influence Chul Soo.

I have no right to do such a thing.

I... don't think Chul Soo and I can be together.

Oh, you're here.

What are you doing?

I'm going to move into a hotel.

I should go back to Japan.

You said you'd stay here until the book comes out.

I think it'll be better if I don't.

Is it because of me?

Yes.

I hate seeing you flustered and confused.

And I know well now who you love.

I need to get surgery once I'm back in Japan, too.

You decided to get surgery?

Let's go together.

I said let's go together.

Why are you being like this?

I didn't come here to hear you say that.

You came here right after being diagnosed.

Why?

Wasn't it because you wanted to see me?

I just thought that I should see you again before getting surgery.

But there's a chance that you could die after getting the operation.

That's why I said it's dangerous and you shouldn't come with me.

I also thought seeing you could help me make my decision.

It's enough that you've given me the courage.

No...

Ma Ri.

After you left, I spent every day regretting.

This time I don't want to do something that I'll regret.

So don't make me into a person full of regret.

Then...

What about him?

For him...

It's better that I don't exist.

It's much better for him that I don't exist.

So I'm not doing this for your sake...

but for my own sake.

Let's go together.

Okay...

So you want to write an article about me?

Yes.

I don't have anything to write about these days.

And I thought it would be a great opportunity to interview

the CEO of Korea's top entertainment agency.

Many of Korea's top celebrities belong to your agency...

I see that they usually stay at your agency for ten years before moving on.

Yes. So?

How do you renew their contracts?

Of course, I offer them the best partnership

one based on trust and credibility.

There's really no other explanation.

Why? Do you suspect something else?

No. No...

Of course, what else could there be besides a great partnership?

Of course...

What else do you want to know?

Um... well, TS Entertainment and ANC are currently in the middle of a merger...

Mm.

What will happen to the stars who belong to your agency after the merger?

They'll continue working for my agency.

But... how?

Isn't it self-evident?

Do they have anywhere else to go besides TS Entertainment?

After everything I've done to support them!

We have to make sure we all stay in the same boat, whatever it takes.

They have contracts, remember?

Um... well, then what about Lee Ma Ri?

Her too, of course.

Do you have any other types of questions?

Um, well...

About 'True Daily...'

What?

What was that again?

Oh, never mind.

What kinds of questions are these?

Aren't you supposed to come prepared if you're going to do an interview?

I-I'm sorry.

Aren't you leaving?

Pardon?

Oh. Right.

Then, I'll see you next time.

Lunch is ready.

Okay.

But... why are you packing?

Oh... this?

I've finished writing the descriptions for the photo book.

Woo Jin.

Can you give us a second?

You look thin.

What did you want to tell me?

I'm... going to Japan.

What?

I'm going to Japan with Woo Jin.

You're going to Japan?

Why?

Are you running away?

Woo Jin is really sick...

He needs to get surgery.

It's a dangerous operation.

I put myself first and betrayed him.

And I couldn't be by his side all those years.

So this time, I want to be by his side.

When did you find out?

Did you know about it from the beginning?

And yet you didn't tell me?

- I couldn't tell you... - Why not?

Because you were weighing your options?

Because you were thinking of leaving?

You were the one who only thought about breaking up.

You said I've made your life more difficult.

So breaking up would be better, wouldn't it?

Right.

Right.

There's nothing more to argue about.

That's right. Nothing more to argue about.

- I'll pay you back the money. - Just keep it.

- I'll pay you back! - Keep it!

You can think of it as compensation.

My compensation for messing up your life!

I said I'll pay you back.

Even if it's in small monthly installments.

Let's break up.

- You're here. - Hello.

- Do a good job. - Yes, sir!

Here. Your clothes.

Have you eaten yet? Because I haven't.

Oh yeah, why didn't you come to pick me up this morning?

I have to tell you something.

Teachers, doctors, and managers...

Do you know what they all have in common?

They all never cross the line.

For teachers, it's the line with their students.

For doctors, it's their patients.

And for managers, it's celebrities.

What are you talking about?

So in the future, I'd like for you to control any personal feelings.

What?

Don't cross this line.

What--

What the--

What an immature ingrate! Are we in elementary school or something?

Don't worry, I won't be the one crossing the line!

Do you really think we can trust Bo Yong and send Yoo Ri to the US?

No way! How can we trust her?

I want to go with them!

I'm home.

Chul Soo.

About Lee Ma Ri.

I'd like to see her.

If we keep being mean to her after she gave us money...

I want to meet her, if you two will continue to see each other.

We broke up.

But you were enduring it well. Why?

Why in the world?

It just happened that way. I'm going to my room.

Why? Why now, after all this time?

It seemed like they were going to stick it out through thick and thin!

I can't imagine how hard it must've been for him.

- Do you think it's because of the money? - No!

It's better this way. How can you date when so many eyes are watching you?

Good job!

I'm sure Lee Ma Ri betrayed him!

Great job, everyone! You all worked hard. Cheers!

Cheers!

Oh, I guess he changed seats.

Director!

- Let's drink! - Here.

Love shot! Love shot!

Appetizer.

Here's one for you too.

- Oh, you prepared one for me? - Yeah.

Thanks for being so nice to me on the set.

- Great job, everyone! - Hooray!

- Director, you are awesome! - And thanks for your hard work.

Let's go for a third round of drinks!

What? Another round?

- Please? third round! - Yes, Director, let's have a third round!

Third round! Third round!

- Hey, isn't that Kim Hye Jung! - Yeah, it's her! She's so pretty!

- Wow, this is so cool! - I'm going to brag about this!

She's a goddess! A goddess!

What are you doing? Why are you pulling me?

What are you doing?

Just come with me.

- But the director and everyone are... - Be quiet!

Seriously, what's the deal?

What? What is it?

Do you want to cause a scandal as a rookie actor?

Don't you know how many rookie actors have been ruined because of Kim Hye Jung?

[Love Motel]

But why did you bring me here?

Was it... on purpose?

Don't be silly.

What are you doing?

Telling me not to cross the line makes me want to cross it.

Yoo Ri.

Mom.

Yoo Ri.

Let's go to America.

Okay?

Let's go there as soon as possible.

At this rate, you might...

What if something terrible happens to you?

Chul Soo.

You convince Yoo Ri to go.

She says she won't go to America.

She needs to go there and get surgery, but she won't go.

I'm begging you...

Please leave this house.

Okay.

I'll leave.

But I won't leave by myself.

Fine. Do as you wish.

You don't trust me, do you?

Because I abandoned you.

At this point, after all these years

I'm not even asking for your understanding.

But?

But Yoo Ri doesn't know.

She was too young to know that I'd abandoned her.

She believes in me and likes me.

When there's no one else in this whole world who believes in me.

And so...

You're saying that Yoo Ri seems to be on your side?

She said she likes me because I'm her mother!

Are you that happy because you've found someone on your side?

I was wrong.

I made the wrong choice.

What do we do about Yoo Ri?

I think I learned from you how to draw the line in my relationships with people.

Now that I think that he'd be much better off without me...

It really pangs me inside.

Let go of the covers.

Oh my gosh!

Why are you acting like a child?

Turn around and close your eyes so I can change.

Why should I?

I saw it all anyway.

You're the one who said that managers

shouldn't cross the line with their actors.

But you're the one who kissed me first!

But you're the one who brought me here!

And paid for the room.

How come you don't have any credit cards?

Then should I have brought them with me

to the farewell party so I can pay for everyone?

I must be crazy. Sleeping in a place like this with a boy like this...

I'm the one who's crazy, sleeping with this woman...

- Hey! - Huh?

Are you a woman? Why are you covering yourself?

Give me that!

What's up?

I'm leaving now.

Really?

I'm surprised.

I thought you'd stay with Ma Ri.

Have you gotten wiser?

I guess so.

That picture you sent me last time...

That was a mistake.

Since that's how I was able to find you.

Has it ever occurred to you that it wasn't a mistake?

Why do you think I sent that picture?

Don't you think I wanted you to find me?

This is fun.

You'll regret having found me.

What will you do to me when you're leaving the country so easily?

Wait and see what happens. I won't leave it at this.

Things won't end so easily for you.

All right. I'll wait and see what happens.

Stay safe and healthy.

You stay safe.

These are documents proving what Seo Tae Suk did to me.

There's a doctor's report in there too.

I'm not sure if these are still legally valid

but they can still serve as evidence.

So that Mr. Seo won't do with Ma Ri as he pleases...

these are documents I've collected that can serve as circumstantial evidence.

Can you really protect Ma Ri from Mr. Seo?

I hope so.

But about the name Woo Jin...

Having the name 'Woo Jin' helped me.

Me too, actually.

I don't know if Ma Ri remembers...

But the first time she met me

she said she noticed me because my name was Woo Jin.

If Woo Jin was the name of her childhood friend

I think you could've been that friend.

I'll probably be at the airport by the time you read this.

I was really happy that you said you'd be by my side.

I'll cherish it as a nice memory.

But I've always wanted you to be a shining star.

Even then when I first left, as I do now.

And I have someone waiting for me in Japan.

That person has loved me for a long time.

But I didn't care enough for her because I was stuck in the past.

If I could choose who I could be with, I'd probably...

have to choose that person. That would be right.

Hurting, enduring the pain, and then overcoming it...

I think it's the right choice to live there.

I hope you'll always be happy and healthy.

And that you'll always be shining like a star.

Don't worry. I'll look after everyone.

I'll look after Chul Soo and your aunts...

so don't you worry.

But what will you do when you're in pain? They won't understand you in America.

- Byung Joon. - Yeah?

My brother's the type of person who doesn't say it if he's having a hard time.

So please watch over him.

Oh dear...

I don't have the courage to look at Chul Soo now.

Don't worry. This time I'll look after him.

You tell me to look after Byung Joon...

And you tell Byung Joon to look after me?

Me? She told you to look after me?

Yoo Ri did?

Let's go.

Want me to carry you on my back?

Mm.

Okay.

All right, let's go!

Don't you guys worry.

After her surgery goes well, I'll bring her back here.

Please take good care of Yoo Ri.

- Have a safe trip. - Things will go well.

- Don't worry, Yoo Ri. - When you come back, let's go jogging, okay?

Yoo Ri.

Come back safely.

Our Yoo Ri...

Yoo Ri, let's go.

Yoo Ri... Yoo Ri, take care of your health, okay?

Yoo Ri.

You two... broke up?

If it was going to turn out that way...

Then why did it have to be so hard...

for you and for me...

[Sweetheart Lee Ma Ri]

[At that time, my chest felt heavy.]

[My eyes were full of tears.]

[Every moment that I lived I knew I was in love with you.]

Here's an edited draft of your novel.

Oh... really?

I'm happy that you're successful again as a writer

but Busan's kind of far.

But since your novel will be published soon, I guess you'll visit Seoul often.

I'm so excited that your novel will be out soon!

I spoke with Yoo Ri on the phone, and she's happy about it too.

Where are you going?

Home. Wait, do you want to buy some books first?

It's me.

What are you doing right now? Don't you know today's the merger?

What will we do if the face of our agency doesn't attend?

I'm not going. I'm not affiliated with TS nor ANC, so I don't have to go.

Don't ever call me again.

You can try, but as long as we have our contract, you can't run away from me.

Kim Chul Soo.

Have you been doing well?

I see you didn't go to Japan.

I didn't.

Woo Jin went by himself. He said he had a girl who loves him there.

Have you been well?

You already asked me that.

I'm based in Busan now.

Why?

I took a lecturing job there.

Oh, I see.

What about your novel? I hear it'll be coming out.

Yes, well, it's coming out soon.

That's great news.

I'll definitely read it.

I took her picture!

Chul Soo.

Sorry.

We'll be leaving first.

[ANC and TS Entertainment Merger Press Conference]

I can do this!

I can do it!

Or can I?

No, wait. Let's think of Chul Soo.

How Mr. Seo's actions affected Chul Soo's life.

Wait, but Chul Soo got a lecturing job and is pretty successful now.

All right, then let's think of Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri.

Hasn't Lee Ma Ri's time passed?

They're coming out.

Are Ye Rin and I going to be like Romeo and Juliet?

[Lee Ma Ri]

Hello?

It's me.

I'm calling because we parted so suddenly earlier.

Are you well?

I've asked you for the third time.

Yeah... I guess that's what you were most curious about.

Well, there's one more thing.

What?

I want to meet you.

I said I want to meet you.

Let's meet.

Let's not think about anything and just talk when we meet up.

Talk about whether we've been well?

Let's meet.

Where?

Thank you all for your interest in our merger.

By merging with a large company like TS Entertainment

ANC has been able to expand beyond our current video business.

I'd like to introduce Mr. Seo Tae Suk, CEO of TS Entertainment.

I'm Seo Tae Suk.

Hello.

Usually when I'm faced with reporters, I have to address a difficult issue.

But today, I'm really happy since I get to speak to you all about a happy event.

I object!

- Who the heck? - What's up with him?

- Why did he say that? - What's wrong with him?

I! I...

I think Seo Tae Suk should not be involved in this merger.

Seo Tae Suk cannot be a part of this merger!

In order to renew his contract with Lee Ma Ri, Seo Tae Suk...

purposely issued an article announcing Ma Ri's ghostwriting scandal.

Is that true?

He blackmailed Lee Ma Ri into signing another contract with him!

Hey!

I have evidence right here!

He must be for real!

Mr. Seo Tae Suk used a fake news organization

called 'True Daily' to publish articles about Lee Ma Ri's ghostwriting scandal!

Mr. Seo, is that true?

And Lee Ma Ri isn't the only victim.

He has done this to numerous celebrities!

- Can you explain this, Mr. Seo? - Is it all true?

Please tell us the truth!

Is what that reporter said true? Please tell us the truth, Mr. Seo!

Please tell us the truth!

What do you mean it's not possible?

What do you mean you can't publish his book?

How can that be?

My bosses are all idiots.

I tried to convince them that

it wouldn't matter that he'd ghostwritten in the past.

But they had to wait till now to tell me they won't publish it.

But it's possible they might just hold off on the publication for a while.

Enjoy your meal.

A newly revealed story about Seo Tae Suk

has been shocking the entertainment world.

Lee Ma Ri has already been involved in a ghostwriting scandal.

And now she is once again the center of attention with this new scandal.

Lee Ma Ri and the CEO of TS Entertainment, Seo Tae Suk...

It's a pity that things turned out this way.

Your fate with the company will be determined at the shareholders' meeting.

But I think you should take a look at this first.

My contract with Ma Ri.

In other words, Lee Ma Ri signed a contract with me, personally.

So no matter what happens, Lee Ma Ri cannot do anything unless I approve it.

What do you mean?

[Actor's contract]

Can you file that for me, please?

[Will ghostwriter Kim Chul Soo's novel be published or not?]

[Ghostwriter plans to publish a book using real name...]

CEO Seo Tae Suk, in order to control his agency's actors, including Lee Ma Ri...

used false media reports to blackmail them.

This news is shocking the nation.

Lee Ma Ri and Seo Tae Suk, the CEO of TS Entertainment...

Is it happening again?

I came here because I wanted to speak to you about that.

How about announcing that we'll be getting married?

This really never ends.

What will happen if your book isn't published?

I will never run away.

But if you feel like you really can't take it anymore...

Tell me you're having a hard time.

I won't tell you if I'm having a hard time.

I have one condition.

Promise that we'll never fight.

Though I'm sure it's no use making such promises.

You're right. No use in promising that you'll never get mad at me.

Also, promise that we won't separate for fear of being a burden on each other.

Okay.

The person you're trying to reach has their phone turned off...

People will want to talk about Ma Ri again as they talk about CEO Seo.

And it's possible that Kim Chul Soo's novel won't be published.

Here's an article from our news agency.

It's an article that vehemently opposes the publication of Kim Chul Soo's novel.

It will be hard for him to publish his novel.

What should I do?

If we announce our wedding, rumors that Kim Chul Soo used you will die down.

I don't have ulterior motives.

I just don't want to see you get hurt again.

And if Kim Chul Soo gets hurt, then you will feel hurt, too.

I don't want that either.

That's why I'm proposing this.
