(All people, incidents, and backgrounds...)

(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)

What's going on? It's so crowded.

Where is she, though?

What?

Hey, Kim Ji Song!

What're you doing? Why didn't you get on?

You're such a traitor. You said you'd never do crypto!

Well, things just kind of...

That's why I'm telling you to just get on.

No way.

What if it's even worse than the torment we're in now?

What could be worse than the torment we're already in?

- No way. I'm not going. - Come on!

The train will be departing shortly.

All passengers, please take your seats...

- and fasten your seatbelts. - Hey, the train's about to leave!

I'm not going. I'm not!

I'm not going. I'm not!

Hey... Hey, Ji Song!

Welcome, passengers.

Our train has departed from a miserable reality...

where the value of your labor goes unappreciated.

What?

Eun Sang, what is all this? Are you cosplaying?

There is a slight risk of injury during our journey.

Injury?

Ouch, that stings!

What? A mark from a 20 percent loss.

- You're already down? - Down?

Still, you've got it easy.

See that guy over there?

He's down 30,000 dollars.

And that woman over there.

She's down 40,000 dollars.

And me...

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Fifty... I just lost 50,000 dollars.

Oh my gosh!

Eun Sang, stop the train! Someone's hurt here!

No! We can't stop!

No, this thing can't stop. Just keep going.

That's right! Let's ride this out to the end!

- Yes, I agree. - Yes, I agree.

- I agree. - I agree.

- I agree. - I agree.

Our train will not leave anyone behind...

and will go to our final destination, the moon.

So I suggest you brace yourselves.

- What's that? - Why did the light go out?

And the consequences of your choices are yours and yours alone.

- Gosh. - What is this?

- When did we get here? - Ladies and gentlemen.

You can do it! Ganbare!

Jiayou!

Let's all shout it together.

To the moon!

Let's go! Let's go!

To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- Like you mean it! - To the moon!

- Louder! To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - To the moon!

- To the moon! - Moon...

- To the moon! - Moon!

- To the moon! - Moon...

- To the moon! - Open the door!

Moon...

Da Hae!

Gosh, what are you doing? I said open the door! The door!

- Hey! - Oh, right.

I forgot Mom was coming. Shoot.

(Episode 4: The Reason I Want to Be Rich)

Mom, come over here.

Look.

It's the threshold.

There is a threshold!

No way. It's really going up.

What are you staring at?

What? Oh, it's nothing.

So? It's not too shabby, right?

I guess I didn't do too bad a job raising you.

You must've worked so hard to be living in a place like this.

- I'm so proud of you, sweetie. - Oh, come on. It's no big deal.

You're staying for dinner, right?

- Just whip something up. - Okay.

So what are all these boxes?

Oh, just stuff I'm throwing out.

Just some books I don't read anymore,

and old photos from my childhood.

What? Why would you throw away photos?

If there's no space, hang them up.

Okay.

What? What's that?

No, Mom, don't! You can't use nails!

- No! - You scared me. What's wrong?

What do you think you're doing, Mom? You can't hammer nails in a rental.

This isn't even my place.

Oh, no. Did you damage the surface?

You don't think the neighbors heard, do you?

Oh, what am I going to do? Gosh, why would you even...

- Don't be such a chicken. - What?

Let's just eat.

- Oh, by the way. - Yes?

Can you make me a YouTube account?

YouTube? You're on that stuff now?

I want to play music while I drive.

It's nice and helps me stay awake.

What about a profile picture?

Check my album. There are plenty of photos in there.

Okay.

What? Isn't this just a picture of the TV?

Why are they all pictures like this?

Seriously? You want to use this as your profile picture?

What's wrong with it? It's pretty.

Hey, if you just glance at it, doesn't it look like I was there?

Not even a little bit.

Gosh, look at this one. It's from the home shopping channel.

I'm too busy to go anywhere, so it's nice to feel like I did.

Too busy? Yes, right.

Mom, get out and get some fresh air.

This fall, go see the fall foliage or something.

Oh, please. Only rich people have time for that.

Listen, you have to live within your means.

There's no point in being greedy for things you can't have.

Give it here.

Mountains...

Mountains are nice.

Yes.

Gosh, how pretty.

Right?

A side gig? On a weekend?

You have to use your downtime to save up your crypto ammo.

Instead of wasting money on junk, you should get a side gig, too.

You and Ji Song both.

A side gig? Yes, right.

She's probably passed out cold right now.

If only you weren't so gorgeous.

I wouldn't have to deal with this.

- Gosh. - Darn it.

Darn it!

It's her 200-day anniversary with her boyfriend.

Which means she's crossing borders as we speak.

Is she on a world tour or something? I bet pop stars travel less.

Anyway, what's up? Is something wrong?

You sound a little down.

I'm just feeling a little unlike myself.

Listen, drinking in a mood like this is a recipe for disaster.

Don't go getting blackout drunk and pull the "I don't remember" bit.

- Just go home and call it a night. - You the designated driver?

Hey, my customer's here. Talk to you later.

- Hi, did you call for a driver? - Yes, to Sangdo-dong.

Sir.

Sorry, I can't drive a car like this.

An accident means the Aoji Coal Mine and a lifetime of work to repay it.

Come on, it's just...

I'm sorry.

Look, I'll pay you double!

Be on your way, Comrade. And shut the door.

Okay.

You up?

Gosh, what's with this moron?

Darn it.

(Karaoke)

(Koon Karaoke)

One beer at a karaoke bar can't hurt, right?

Gosh.

I'll never drive foreign cars again.

I was so tense, my whole body's aching.

Gosh, must be nice.

Some people get to drive supercars,

while others ride a packed bus.

I can't stand it!

Gosh, I seriously hate my job so much!

Then how are you going to make money?

Especially since you refuse to invest in crypto.

Gosh, is crypto your only answer? I'm so sick of it!

- Fine, go get rich then. Happy? - Thanks.

So, is there anything you'd do if you got rich?

Hey.

When you get rich, you focus on getting even richer.

The richer you are, the more you want.

You just think about spending it.

Humor me then. What would you do?

I don't know. If I were rich,

I'd first toss nearly-empty toothpaste tubes.

It's so hard to squeeze an empty tube every morning.

I feel like I'll burst a blood vessel.

Oh, and I'd stop licking the lids on yogurt cups.

That's my idea of flexing.

- Oh, hey, you're here. - Yes, hey.

Oh, hey.

Hey. What were you guys talking about?

Oh, she was asking what I'd do if I got rich.

What about you? If you got rich...

What?

- Does anyone else smell burning? - What?

If I were rich,

the first thing I'd do is hammer a nail in my wall.

A nail? Oh, right. You're renting.

Yes, you can't put nails in the wall.

Seriously? Is that all you can think of if you got rich?

- So what would you do? - Me?

Well, I...

I'd be in a penthouse on the Han River,

sipping on a 5,000-dollar bottle of Dom Pérignon.

And then I'd be on the phone with my dad, like this.

Father, I refuse a loveless arranged marriage.

You have to let me live my own life!

And I'd dramatically throw my bag onto a water buffalo leather sofa,

and say...

Gosh, life is so utterly empty.

It has gotten a bit warmer, though, hasn't it?

Yes, you're right. I guess spring is finally here.

Hey, stop ignoring me.

Around 2 a.m. today, a fire started at a motel in the Gwanak District.

- Over 20 people... - Looks like there was a fire.

had smoke inhalation or injuries as the fire spread.

This is Kim So Young reporting.

A fire broke out at a 9-story motel in Seoul's Gwanak District at 2 a.m.

Forty guests evacuated the building when the fire started,

and seven were taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation.

Suddenly, the emergency alarms went off.

And smoke was everywhere... I was so startled,

I didn't even have time to change. I just ran out like this.

What? Wait a second. Aren't those drunk eyes familiar?

Do they know what caused the fire?

Hey, isn't that Da Hae?

Hey! What'd you do while drunk...

I can't believe this.

What?

This is you, isn't it, Ms. Round?

Right?

No, but how did you...

What do you mean, "how?" It's obviously you.

If they're going to blur a face, they should at least do it better.

What is this? So sloppy.

Here, look at this.

I can totally see your face right through it.

Look at all these comments.

"The betrayal of the mosaic. LOL."

"The motel girl's face is now exposed."

"I know that feeling of an office worker..."

"wanting to set everything on fire."

You don't want to burn it all down because of me, do you?

No, of course not. Gosh.

But, Mr. Ko, I'm surprised you even watch the morning news.

It was on the company message board.

Hoppang Bite posted it.

What? The company message board?

Gosh, that psycho Hoppang Bite. I swear I'm going to punch him...

Don't worry too much.

The admin already took it down.

You can't slander someone like that.

Besides, it barely got any views.

But you know, Da Hae, you really should get married.

What? Why?

For a single woman...

to have her face plastered everywhere like this.

Tell your boyfriend to hurry up and propose. Okay?

I actually wasn't with my boyfriend.

Then who?

Who was it?

So who was it?

Why'd you just run off without telling us?

(Huge Mistake)

(Huge Mistake)

Who did you make this "huge mistake" with?

You're really not going to tell us?

At least give us a hint.

Wait, are you obsessed with a certain "type" again?

Type? What type?

- Rich? Connected? Or just trouble? - Veins.

Oh, that's right.

You're a total vein freak, aren't you?

I'm not a freak.

Hey, it's not that I just like any veins.

I like the veins you get from hard labor.

For example, like the guys on "Extreme Jobs."

A man whose bulging veins prove how hard he's worked.

Isn't that sexy?

You can see the unwavering determination...

not to let his family starve.

Darn. Gosh, that's so hot.

I'm all for sexy, but I'm not sure about the "unwavering" part.

Hey, you just don't get it.

Because of my dad, for me, hardworking equals sexy.

If you like hard workers so much, why are you messing with crypto?

You should earn your money the hard way too, then.

Ideals and reality are different, you know?

For me, no matter how hard I work, it's always an extreme struggle.

That's why I took a drastic step like crypto.

So, was the guy last night your hardworking, sexy type?

Was he?

Gosh, you guys.

That's...

My privacy.

Private? I ought to pry it out of you.

Fine, it was just a drunken fender-bender.

I'll never see him again.

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

With this going on, you two have unfinished business.

Darn it.

("I didn't even have time to grab my clothes!")

(Popular Trending Video)

"But why was she the only one they interviewed?"

"He was probably too embarrassed to do it. LOL."

"I mean, her looks are just... LOL."

"She's decent, I guess."

Gosh, it didn't even have that many views in the morning.

This is what you call the miracle of the algorithm.

I'm going to teach these trolls a lesson.

- What are you going to do? - What? You want me to just...

let them run their mouths?

I'm going to post a reply.

Judging someone's looks or body is not the mark of a mature person.

- Especially their sex life. - Hey.

It's an extremely private matter.

So please stop with the harassing comments.

There.

Oh, a reply!

"Piss off, geezer."

"Geezer?" What's that supposed to mean?

- It's slang for an old person. - Oh, what a clever little brat.

"Whenever I see people get triggered like this,"

"it really melts my frontal lobe." Why is their frontal lobe melting?

It means winding you up is so funny that it melts their brain.

(She's fuming, her BP must be high.)

"She's fuming, her BP must be high." And this one?

They said they really roasted you with facts, and you've been gutted.

I can't even...

What? Why did someone just post a picture of Grandma Na Moon Hee?

They're saying you're being frustratingly dense.

Gosh, these trolls... Wait, how are the replies so fast?

- Tell them to slow down. - Stop!

- Hold on a second. Oh, here. - The perforated line! Right here!

Oh, you're right.

What's the perforated line for?

It means not to post below this.

Basically, a stop.

Wait, what does that even mean?

Forget it. I don't want to know.

Right.

What'd you expect from the pager era?

Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.

You?

You're talking to Kim Ji Song,

the one rigorously trained in every kind of SNS to be...

a professional slacker.

And you're proud of that?

First, I'll get the commenter's info.

Let's see what I'm dealing with.

I swear, I was about to go for the jugular...

- Then go for it. - Go for what?

Get married. Get married twice! Three times!

You crazy girl! Did you already dump Wei Lin?

Dump him? What are you talking about?

My gosh! Talk about a complete 180.

You were just going on and on about getting married.

But why would I ever dump Wei Lin?

- Be honest with me. - About what?

- Wei Lin... - What about him?

- He isn't real, is he? - What? Wei Lin?

Mom, don't lie. It's you!

The username is totally yours. And I changed your profile picture.

So what if it is?

My daughter is getting cursed online.

What kind of mother would just stand by?

Those jerks.

If someone's daughter goes to a motel or builds it,

what business is it of theirs?

Can you stop with the motel talk?

Why are you getting so worked up?

I'll handle my own business. So just stay out of it.

Okay, fine.

But what about last night?

I was with my friends. We just hung out all night.

- So don't get any funny ideas... - Are you hurt?

What?

I asked if you were hurt anywhere, sweetheart.

- No. - Okay, good. I'm hanging up.

(Mom)

No way. Are you kidding me?

How long has he been standing there?

Why weren't you answering my calls?

Oh, where did it go? Shoot.

- Gosh, where did it go? - Did you drop something?

Yes. I dropped something.

I can't seem to find something of mine.

- Where could it be? - It must be you common courtesy.

Excuse me?

You know, the common courtesy of greeting your boss.

I think that's what you dropped.

Oh, right.

Good morning.

Do I look like I'm having a good one?

You're all banged up. How?

So you're a celebrity now. How?

Yes? You want my autograph or something?

- Are you mocking me? - On second thought, no autograph.

Only your mom is on your side.

Why were you so mad at her?

Why were you eavesdropping on my conversation?

There's something I'm curious about.

May I ask?

Gosh.

Dr. Ham.

This is a professional workplace.

Even if you're my superior, please refrain from this at work.

And interfering in my private life after hours is...

- Are you keeping that as a pet? - Keeping what?

What is this!

Oh my gosh! It's on me! Get it off!

Private life?

Oh no. Where'd it go?

- Where is it? - Okay.

Where did it go?

Darn it.

So, have you ever caught a big one?

Well... Let's see. Bigeye tuna.

I'm writing to complain about the motel fire segment this morning.

A civilian's face was badly blurred, violating their privacy.

This is a serious data breach. Is this for real?

If these mistakes keep happening,

News Breed will lose credibility. Thank you.

(Post)

If this keeps up, I'm unsubscribing.

Facts. Can't argue with that. Right?

Such a frustrating response. Fix it ASAP.

(Choose file)

(Submit, processing)

(Submission complete)

(Averages)

I just posted a complaint on the news station's message board.

I told them to re-blur the video and disable the comments.

We can't help who's already seen it,

but we have to do some damage control.

Eun Sang, I love you.

Ditch that jerk from yesterday. Why are you taking all the heat?

Bulging veins mean nothing.

Totally.

There are more than enough veins in the world.

You're nuts. Do you know whose veins they are?

Starting from the first, it's Seo Kang Jun, Jung Hae In,

Jung Yong Hwa, Lee Min Ki, and Byeon Woo Seok.

And for the record, this last one belongs to my Wei Lin.

(Kim Ji Song)

(By. Ji Song)

Then why is your name written on Wei Lin's arm?

I have to mark my territory, obviously.

Think of it as an artist signing their masterpiece.

You're the type who goes on vacation...

and scribbles graffiti all over a national treasure.

(You're mine.)

What? What's this?

What memory was that?

Oh, goodness.

Hello. This is Kim So Young, a reporter from News Breed.

I'm calling about your message asking for a follow-up.

So we've taken down all the videos that were posted online.

We'll contact the person involved to apologize directly.

Yes, I'd appreciate that. I'll consider the matter resolved.

I'll hang up now.

- Sorry, are you Ji Sang's mom? - Who?

This is reporter Kim So Young. I used to work on "Press File."

I covered the daycare bus accident.

I still had your number saved.

His father and I spoke several times during the follow-up interviews.

Have you been doing okay?

Oh, yes.

I've been...

just fine.

My honey's veins are definitely the hottest.

I said I don't know. Her face was blurred out.

Oh, come on. I'm telling you, it's her.

But that wasn't Da Hae...

Ji Song, what do you mean?

That news story.

Weren't you talking about the blurred face?

Yes, that's right.

About Chae Hee Gyu's latest scandal.

But the actress's face is blurred, so I can't figure out who it is.

Oh, I thought you meant...

- That's obviously Min Se Ra. - What?

Isn't it Park Se Mi?

Excuse me? No, it isn't.

What do you mean, no? The clothes prove it's her.

- What would you know about it? - Excuse me?

Wait, are you dissing my knowledge of celebrity dating and fashion?

For your information,

I'm so good I can identify a guy just by looking at his veins.

What is she even talking about?

Want to bet ten bucks on it?

You're on.

All right, everyone, look closely.

If you look at this article, she's an actress in a recent drama.

For recently-ended dramas, TV, cable, and web series make six.

Of those, only four of them starred an actress in her twenties.

That puts a total of four actresses on our list of suspects.

Let's examine the part of the photo that isn't blurred,

the woman's wrist.

That's not a bracelet. It's a hair tie.

You thought it was a bracelet, right?

It's an easy mistake to make.

A limited edition by Bottega Veneta for this season's product...

That means our suspect must be someone who can tie their hair?

So that narrows it down to two.

And now I see the smoking gun.

Right here. The ring she's wearing. This one.

It's Roji Jewelry's Opeuroom Ring.

The group Min Se Ra is in are for ambassadors of Roji Jewelry.

She probably got it for free, right?

So...

I'm sure the person in this scandal is Min Se Ra.

Ji Song, you can actually see that?

It's my absolute dream item.

I guess since I've looked at so many photos of it,

I could spot it from a mile away.

Oh, I guess it really is Min Se Ra. What?

Look, an unblurred photo just popped up.

Oh my gosh.

Gosh, Ji Song, you're amazing.

I mean, how do you know this so well?

Oh, it's nothing.

So, ten bucks, right?

Oh my, that ring.

Isn't that the same one Min Se Ra was wearing?

What?

It is.

Oh my, you're right. I didn't even notice I had it on.

That must be so expensive.

Of course it is.

- It's not like I can't afford it. - It's gorgeous.

Ji Song, you're creeping me out.

How can you know so much about it?

Here.

(Assistant Manager Oh Dong Gyu)

It's not like she was testing me. She obviously had the ring herself,

so why pretend and make a fool out of me?

She totally made a fool out of me!

- It's not even funny. - Ji Song, calm down.

If it's ridiculous but not funny,

what does that even mean? What?

Why does she keep messing with me?

Why is she trying to mess with me?

- She's feeding you? - Darn it!

Someone who feeds you is a good person.

- Why are you mad? - No, that's not what I meant!

Oh? You were here?

Ji Song, can I give you a hand?

Hello. I'm Oh Dong Gyu, Ji Song's coworker.

Do you need an interpreter?

Oh, hello. You speak Chinese?

Oh, Assistant Manager Oh, you speak Chinese?

And it sounds like you're really good, too.

I worked at our branch in China until two years ago,

- so I learned Chinese to manage. - Oh, right.

But, don't get the wrong idea.

It's not like I can't get over you,

and I'm still trying to hit on you or anything.

I just really wanted to help in any way I could.

That's it?

Why was that so short?

What?

How could you sum up all my pain in so few words?

- Well... - It's okay, Ji Song.

Stay strong.

And why is he pitying me now? What was that? What did you say?

I just said...

that because you're broke, your pride is completely shattered.

That was the short version.

I see. So that's what it all boils down to.

You're right.

My pride...

is completely shattered.

This product is getting buzz online, so it's a shame about its placement.

Oh, you're right.

Can you ask for a spot on a main aisle?

It was bumped for another promotion,

but I'll raise it again next week.

I hear it's a war for shelf space. It must be tough.

But Pepero Sticks are selling well, so we have some breathing room.

By the way, Da Hee, are you dating Dr. Ham?

Excuse me?

No. Why do you ask all of a sudden?

An employee at headquarters saw the two of you together,

and said you looked great together, so I was just wondering.

No, we're not.

Besides, I've never even been alone with Dr. Ham.

We're only together in meetings, and those are always packed.

Right?

Yes, well...

Oh, then that's what it is.

You're both such knockouts...

that you're the only two that stood out.

Like Kang Dong Won and Jun Ji Hyun outshining us mere mortals.

Oh, no. You're being too kind.

But Da Hee, are you really not interested at all?

I think you and Dr. Ham would be perfect for each other.

I'm not sure about that.

So many people at the company who have their eyes on Dr. Ham.

Really? Don't tell me... Da Hae, you too?

"Don't tell me... Da Hae, you too?"

What was that? As if to say, "Someone like you?"

Sorry, but someone like Dr. Ham isn't really my type.

That's a smart move. A guy that perfect is just trouble.

Da Hae, are you okay?

- What? About what? - About what they said...

You mean about Dr. Ham?

Oh, please, I'm fine. I'm not that delusional.

I know we're not a perfect picture. Why would I be hurt by that?

Birds of a feather flock together. Like attracts like. It's science.

- I get it. You think I don't know? - No, I...

That's not what I meant.

I meant the new product list you have to finish by tomorrow.

I was asking if you were okay handling that by yourself.

Oh, right. That.

You know what they say about protesting too much.

So maybe you do have your eye on Dr. Ham after all.

Gosh, I said I'm not.

I'm sorry. I was just kidding.

No. It's fine, you don't have to apologize.

Oh, look, we're at the bus stop. You should go on ahead.

Okay.

Jung Da Hae, seriously. What is wrong with you?

Do we really have to do this? Is this our only option?

Look,

I used to think I wanted to be rich for a penthouse and Dom Pérignon.

Right. But it's not just that, is it?

I need to buy a ring, too.

Excuse me?

I'll get one that's way prettier and shinier...

than Assistant Manager Jo's.

And then I'm going to rub it in her face.

What are you, a magpie? Why are you always so...

obsessed with pretty and shiny things?

Eun Sang...

Do I really have to tell you that story again?

It's okay, you don't have to.

It goes back to my painful past.

Ever since I was a little girl, I was always a bit different.

We're going to get some chicken because it's a hot day.

If we search you and find any money, you know what happens.

What's this?

Hey.

I knew it!

Hey, let go of me!

This ring,

Hyo Ri wore this on TV yesterday! Oh, my gosh. It's so pretty!

Where'd you get it?

How much was it? Is it real gold? Or plated?

This psycho!

I just always loved pretty things. I guess I was born with a good eye.

But there was another reason, too.

Back then, our house was a total...

dump.

My dad was always away for business, so my mom was alone and very lonely.

She eventually found something to pour her heart into,

but of all things,

it had to be a cult.

Come to think of it, my life's motto was basically formed then.

I made a vow to myself every day.

That I'd only have beautiful things, not stinking trash like this,

but expensive things that smell good.

Absolutely nothing else.

That's what I'd fill my life with.

Ji Song.

But then...

- Mom... - My mom left me...

- Mom! - for her cult leader.

Mom!

My dad was the only family I had left,

and get this...

He went and betrayed me too.

Why would you quit your job?

Why did you donate it all away?

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

We come into the world with nothing, and die with nothing. That's life.

We even leave this body behind.

Then leave your credit card.

At least leave the house!

Just stay with me, Dad!

Don't go!

Dad!

Talk about a tragic backstory, right?

My childhood was just one big scar.

It's a real tearjerker, seriously.

I can manage to listen without crying.

This is your go-to sob story whenever you're drunk.

You expect me to cry every single time?

You're heartless!

Another one, please.

That's exactly why you need to make money.

Maybe making money would help you heal those wounds, don't you think?

- What if we did crypto together... - It's a cult!

- What? - As far as I'm concerned,

crypto is no different than a cult.

You can't see it or touch it.

You don't even know if it's real.

People who get sucked into things that aren't even tangible...

are a lost cause, seriously.

Hey.

Then is that 1,250-dollar ring you saw any less hopeless?

- Is something so costly worthwhile? - Oh, that ring.

It was so pretty, though.

I can't take it anymore.

I can't help it.

That little thing I think it's meant to be mine.

I have to put it on my finger.

Let's go buy the ring.

I'm going to go buy that ring!

Let's go! Let's go buy the ring.

- Hey! - Let's go!

You impossible girl, sit down. Sit! Just sit down!

Sit down. Sorry about that.

I told you to sit down!

You guys are out drinking?

I'll see if I can make it.

Oh, come on! Just come, even if it's late.

Gosh, this girl. She's throwing a fit over that ring.

I can't handle her alone.

Tell me about it.

- It's better not to get greedy. - What?

It's true, though. When you want what you can't have,

you just end up with a bruised ego,

and your feelings get hurt, right?

Wait. Are you talking about Ji Song or about yourself?

Is something going on with you?

What's the number? Tell me. I'll write it down.

Okay.

What was that?

Okay.

- What is this memory? - What? What did you say?

Oh, it's nothing. Never mind.

Hold on a second.

You're off the clock, right? So I can intrude for a moment?

We need to talk. Go clean up and meet me in an hour.

It's a masterpiece. A true work of art.

Something that good deserves an autograph.

(Claimed! Artistic genius, National treasure, Smoking hot)

(Claimed! Artistic genius, National treasure, Smoking hot)

He can't wash this off!

He can't take off the bandage.

- No way. - What?

What can't you take off?

Listen, I've got to go. I'll call you back.

Stay right there. Don't wash up. I'm on my way.

Wait! Excuse me, I'm so sorry.

Excuse me, I'm sorry. Driver! Stop!

Sir, wait! Please stop the bus!

Hey, Da...

(Kim So Young, News Breed)

Have you been well, ma'am?

Been well? Hardly.

How could I possibly be?

Ta-da!

What do you think? Pretty, right?

Looks real, doesn't it?

I might not be doing "well,"

but life is certainly absurd.

You are something else. You really have a problem!

- Hey, you little brat! - Gosh.

Why would you rip up the discount coupon?

It was 20 percent off draft beer.

So much for the discount. How are we supposed to use it now?

Please fill out the Visitor Registration Application Form.

Visitor registration?

(Visitor application)

But I'm just going up for a second.

It won't take long to fill this out.

Okay.

(Ham Ji Woo, Room 3701, Company colleague)

Here you go.

Please write down your license plate number.

I took the subway.

Please wait a moment.

Yes. I'm calling for visitor verification.

You're very kind. I can just go by myself, you know.

The elevator is for residents only. You need an access card.

I see.

I was told it was on the 37th floor.

Get an access card on the 20th floor and then transfer elevators.

What? I have to make another stop?

(Visitor application)

You're missing the license plate number.

Subway line nine.

I said I took subway line nine.

Very well.

I felt like I was going through immigration.

Is this place Fort Knox or something?

Gosh.

- I guess it was worth the hassle. - You really came.

I said we could meet outside, but you had to come all this way.

Right.

Are you going to shower now? Want some help?

How can you say something so forward right to my face?

- Let me help you. - No, I'm okay.

- But it must be uncomfortable. - I said I'm fine.

- Come on, your arm... - Ouch! That hurts!

Thank goodness.

Heavenly Father, thank you. I'll live a good life from now on.

Please watch over me.

- What are you doing? - What?

It's nothing. I guess I was mistaken.

- This? - It's Sungnyemun.

Excuse me?

What you were mistaken about.

National Treasure No. 1 is Sungnyemun.

It's not, "Claimed! Artistic genius, National treasure, Smoking hot."

Wait, why is that on your arm? Erase it.

- No, I don't want to. - I said erase it now!

No way. I went to great lengths to preserve this evidence.

What are you, a cop? Why are you preserving evidence?

If I didn't keep it, you'd act like you forgot, right?

Are you just trying to make me look like a fool?

No, it's just...

Was I the only one who thought that night was hot?

What are you talking about?

That night...

We were just drunk, that's all.

(Last night)

So?

If mixed, it could be the title song for the second album.

Let's just eat the tuna.

Thank you.

What kind of reaction is that?

What do you mean?

You listened to the song. At least say if it's good or bad.

This is my response.

Stuffing your face with tuna is your response?

Do you really need to live your life...

giving out autographs to be framed on a wall?

You're coolest when buying me a meal and signing the credit card slip.

That's my answer.

Ju Man. Because you're mainly into metal,

folk rock just isn't your thing, right?

- Are you some kind of masochist? - What?

This isn't your first attempt. You failed spectacularly.

Why so desperate to do music? Do you enjoy failing or something?

Does getting hurt give you some kind of thrill?

Look...

There are people who still remember and love my music.

Hey, with fans like that, even if I get hurt again,

don't you think it's worth giving it another shot?

Ji Woo,

Okay, repeat after me.

What?

A free cruise? Not interested. A timeshare? I'll pass.

- What are you saying? - What does that even...

So what, you think that person was trying to sell me something?

Or maybe they're trying to save your soul.

- I'm just... - As your friend,

I'm only saying this because I don't want to lose you.

Just keep music as a hobby.

Chef. Can we get another plate of fatty belly tuna, please?

(Mom)

Yes, hello?

Sorry, I was working earlier.

No, I wasn't avoiding your call.

What? A blind date?

What blind date? I'm not going.

I won't meet a pharma CEO's daughter.

No, I really don't want to. I mean it, I don't.

Wait, if you're going to cut me off, why did you even call?

Mom,

I'm quitting my job at year's end.

I worked there long enough, right?

I'm...

I'm going to start making music again.

I'm going to take this chance to go all-in on my music.

Or so I'd say.

What's the point of saying all that to a dead line?

(Karaoke)

(Koon Karaoke)

(I'm happy today.)

(Because you're here, I'm happy today.)

(Because you're here, I'm happy today.)

(My empty heart is now full of stars)

Every step I took chasing my dreams

The voices of everyone around me

Please shine a little light on me

Like magic

Make this wish come true

What a beautiful day

Even the sun and the moon are on my side

Shining just for me

- Oh, please love me - Oh, please love me

- In my empty heart - In my empty heart

- It's full of stars - It's full of stars

- Every moment felt like fate - Every moment felt like fate

- I wanted to believe - I wanted to believe

That someday

- My day would come - My day would come

Be my miracle

- What a beautiful day - What a beautiful day

Even the sun and the moon are on my side

Shining just for me

- Oh, come and save me - Oh, come and save me

- In my empty heart - In my empty heart

- It's full of stars - It's full of stars

No way.

No way. Someone knows my song.

I mean, how could they know my song?

Maybe I'll just see who it is.

Yes, I'll just take a look.

Excuse me. I'm from the room next door.

What?

I'm sorry about the other day.

I tend to have a bit of a short fuse.

Well, I wasn't exactly blameless either.

That was no way to treat a fan.

A fan?

You're my fan, aren't you, Jung Da Hae?

Well, it's not so much that I'm your fan, Dr. Ham.

You see, when I was little,

I was on this show called "Echo of Love."

My family had completely lost everything.

And at the time,

after the segment about my family's story aired,

you sang a song, Dr. Ham. Do you remember that?

- That performance? - It was a total train wreck, right?

It wasn't a train wreck. I was just extremely nervous.

I went on after TVXQ. That must've been it.

All their fangirls were so cold to me then.

- I liked it. - You did? Really?

I was eighteen at the time.

Having to show my face on TV because my family went broke...

Honestly, it was just so humiliating.

Sure, they blurred out my face,

but still...

I was so worried someone might recognize me.

I really felt like my life was over.

But that day,

I felt better after seeing you, Dr. Ham.

It was like,

"I guess I'm not the only one embarrassing myself up here."

"That guy up there must feel the exact same way."

Like a sense of camaraderie, you know?

Ever since then,

my family went under two more times.

And each time, I'd listen to your song to get through it.

Like when I was studying to retake my entrance exams,

and when I broke up with my first boyfriend.

And...

the song kind of grew on me.

It's kind of dorky but heartwarming, you know?

- If that offended you, I'm sorry... - I love it.

What?

It's just been so long since I've gotten a compliment like that.

It just makes me so happy.

Goodness. What's wrong with your eyes?

- Oh my. - The fact that my music...

actually saved someone...

makes me so incredibly happy.

Saved?

That's a little cheesy...

I know, but I'm just so unbelievably happy...

Even so, I shouldn't make a mistake like this,

should I?

You can.

It's okay to make that mistake.

By any chance,

if you're trying to sell me a miracle mattress...

What?

Fine, I'll buy one.

For the record, I did nothing wrong in this whole mess.

The news backs me up. This injury from saving you...

You did that interview by yourself while I was getting it treated.

I rushed over as soon as I was done, but you just ignored my calls.

- You weren't avoiding me, were you? - No, of course not...

Looks like you're about to hammer in a nail.

What?

Oh, yes.

A picture frame fell.

This is what I mean.

- What do you mean? - You, Dr. Ham,

are a "have" who can put a nail in your wall whenever you want.

But I'm...

a "have-not" who'd be in big trouble for putting a nail in my wall.

So, please, just think about it.

If people find out that a girl like me,

a girl with no money and no connections,

slept with you, what do you think people will say?

I'd be lucky if they don't call me a gold digger.

I doubt they'd say that.

Hey, you never know.

Right.

If I showed any interest, Dr. Ham, other people would just see it...

as me being greedy. That's it.

So...

let's just call that night a mistake.

It's for the best.

Just so you know,

if you're ever walking down the street...

and a scary-looking woman grabs you by the hair,

just think to yourself, "So, it's finally happening."

What?

My mother stopped by earlier.

When I told her I was getting back into music,

she demanded to know who's to blame and then she trashed the place.

Wait, are you...

Are you saying that's my fault?

No. I'm saying I envy you.

You have a mom who's always on your side,

and the guts to do this to your boss's arm.

That's pretty cool.

- Hey, about that... - Jung Da Hae.

You have more than I do.

So...

don't avoid me.

I keep wanting more.

I want to be rich.

When I'm rich,

I want to have better, nicer things than I do now.

And...

I want to feel like I'm worthy of enjoying all of it.

(Ham Ji Woo)

I want to be greedy without holding back.

(Enderium)

(10,000 dollars)

(Buy)

(Confirm buy order)

(Order placed)

I don't want to stop anymore.

Let's get started.

But licking the lid is just pure instinct.

Okay, you got it?

Whoever holds out the longest wins.

The loser pays for karaoke.

Alright, on your marks.

And go!

Alright.

Anyway, are you really not going to tell us?

- Tell you what? - That huge mistake of yours.

I mean, two consenting adults hooked up,

so why is that such a big secret?

I know, right?

I came clean about my mom in a cult and my dad becoming a deadbeat monk.

You should just pick something to believe in.

There are plenty of things to worship.

- Queen B, The Rock, or chicken... - Dr. Ham.

Hey, where did Dr. Ham come from?

Dr. Ham?

You sleep with Dr. Ham?

Seriously? For real?

No way. How could you...

How did that even happen?

- Were you drunk? - Yes.

I almost came to my senses in the middle of it.

Gosh, but of all things, it had to be those veins on his arm.

So what's going to happen now?

What do you mean?

I mean, what's the next chapter for you two?

Like, is his mom going to show up, throw an envelope of cash at you,

and splash water in your face demanding you break up?

Or is it going to be his first love who's in Paris right now...

about to make a grand return to Korea?

A 5 feet 6 inches, 48kg girl with long, straight hair...

Is Dr. Ham's first love going to show up?

Hey, is this first love supposed to be Jun Ji Hyun or something?

- She's so wrecked. - No, I'm not.

I'll have a little chat with this Jun Ji Hyun and we'll sort it out.

What's with this go-getter attitude?

You're not even talking about giving up.

- Is it love? - Oh, you're in love?

It's not like that.

I...

- I put ten grand into crypto. - What?

What?

I maxed out my line of credit.

I'm going all in.

Once I'm rich,

I'll hammer nails in my own walls...

and take my mom to Mount Geumgang.

I'll go as far as my money takes me without ever stopping.

And if I do all that,

then even someone like Dr. Ham won't be out of my reach.

You never know.

You know, no wonder.

You just seemed larger than life today.

It's because you made this huge decision.

Aren't you just bloated? Looks like you gained some weight.

Ji Song, want to take a walk with me?

That streetlight seems like a good spot for a beating.

I'm going to a karaoke bar.

Busted! Yes, karaoke!

Darn it.

Hey, Eun Sang is licking hers too.

Oh, she's been doing that for ages.

Oh, right. Yes, you licked yours earlier.

What?

When did I lick this?

You've still got a long way to go.

We're too cheap to win the jackpot.

No way.

I'm telling you, we're not ready.

Look at this!

What?

(Congratulations! You've won a free one.)

- Jackpot. - Jackpot.

No way! I can't believe this!

Bringing a breath of fresh air to the 2004 music scene.

Please welcome amateur singer Ham Ji Woo.

(Echo of Love)

(Epilogue)

("Shooting Star" by Ham Ji Woo)

(18 years old with many dreams)

In a corner of the dawn sky

Another star appears in the weeping woods

In the blink of an eye, right above my head

Pouring down like rain

A beautiful day

Even the sun and the moon are on my side

Shining just for me

Oh, please love me

In my empty heart

It's full of stars

(Da Hae breathes another heavy sigh today.)

That was the rookie singer Ham Ji Woo's...

performance.

Yes, well...

for our plucky girl...

- chasing her dreams, - Yes.

- Please support Da Hae and family. - That's right.

Hey, guys! You're here?

- You saw "Echo of Love" yesterday? - Of course!

- You did? - It was wild.

But wasn't it super lame?

A little? Yes, it totally was.

- Totally cringey! - What? Cringey?

Like, "tears welling up in my eyes" bad.

How can he show his face after that?

Wasn't that voice crack insane?

- Tell me about it. - I feel so bad for them.

- I know. - I'd be too embarrassed to show it.

- I can't even watch it. - Gosh, seriously.

What are they going to do?

- What's first period today? - Oh, Math.

Did you do the homework?

- Of course not. - Nope.

(Cheongan Girls' High School)

(To the Moon)

Are you quitting?

I don't expect anything from those who didn't even add me to the chat.

I'll add you, Ji Song.

She's walking on eggshells.

She knows she's an outcast.

Our team?

Why are you so serious about company dinners?

So what should I do if I want to have a fling with someone?

Don't you have your eye on Dr. Ham?

I heard there was a party tomorrow.

It's the perfect day for a total transformation.

Dr. Ham will also be at Table One.

Who should be the star of this very seat?

I'm going to sit next to Dr. Ham at tomorrow's event.

Promise me you'll sit next to me.

What are you doing? Why did you remove my name?
