(Jung Yong Hwa)

(Hong Seung Hee)

(Lee Yi Kyung)

(Park Yu Na)

(Oh! My Guard)

(This drama is a work of fiction.)

(Also, children and animals were filmed under production guidelines.)

There are two kinds of men in this world.

Men who need a bodyguard, and men who don't.

(Han Jung Woo, Director at BS Group, Group Heir)

(Under threat from his half-siblings)

If a handsome, gentlemanly man loved by everyone...

happens to be the heir to this conglomerate,

it does not matter which kind he is.

But...

If he is under threat from half-siblings pushed aside,

that changes everything.

Hey, Han Jung Woo. Pull over. You better stop!

Hey, I said pull over!

Floor it!

What's going on?

- What is happening? - Open the door!

- Grab him. - Darn it.

Let's out!

What?

Who is that?

(Cha Hong Du, Taekwondo Master, Part-Time Queen)

(The toughest woman in the neighborhood)

You were a woman?

Of course, I am a woman.

A bold, tough woman who can fight.

I guess I don't need to work out today.

Darn it. I'm going to be so late.

Hey, wait.

You can't just leave like that. At least tell me your name.

Hong Du.

Cha Hong Du.

Cha Hong Du?

That's how we met, like it was fate...

I wish.

("The Crown Prince's Bodyguard" continues in episode two)

That was the story of the heroine in that drama.

And as for me,

I am a drama nerd who has watched this show over a million times.

And that man in particular...

I am Um Tae Bong's biggest fan.

Watching my favorite drama and losing myself in daydreams...

is my greatest joy in life.

You could call it living vicariously.

Someone I want to be but never can.

Because...

Ms. Hae Ra, your meal is ready.

Have you ever heard of anthropophobia?

Ever since second grade, I have never once stepped outside.

School? Not applicable.

No friends either, you ask?

That goes without saying.

Still, I know what I need to know.

I already know full well how scary the outside world is.

Thanks to the news, I have got ethics and social studies down pat.

A couple set of figurines.

(Lovely couple pigs)

One is mine.

And the other one...

See that?

I am well-versed in spending and economics too.

(The Crown Prince's Bodyguard)

Oh, physical training?

If I were the heroine of that drama,

I could protect him too.

Ms. Hae Ra, what happened?

I am sorry, Mr. Nam Goong.

- It is all right. - I am a bit uncoordinated.

But still, I...

Napoleon rose from soldier to emperor,

and he left us the famous words, "Nothing is impossible."

Thanks to Mr. Nam Goong,

- I am a very cultured recluse. - Miss,

how about going outside with me today?

Not yet.

Yes, then whenever you want to walk out that door yourself...

I ran into her in the living room earlier,

and she just ran right away.

She eats alone and plays alone.

It is easier to just treat her like a ghost.

A ghost? Oh my, how pitiful.

But why does she eat separately?

How would I know? Mind your own business.

Why should we care about a daughter the Chairman ignores?

Nobody likes me.

What does it feel like...

being loved by someone?

I wish something would happen to me too.

Suddenly, just like that rain.

(Oh! My Guard)

(Episode 1)

Do not come closer. Stop right there.

The two of them kiss. It is written in the script.

Since when did you have such a passion for acting?

You can't even act.

Cut!

What? Who just yelled cut?

Was it me? Was it you?

It was me.

Oh, it was you, Tae Bong.

But I am the director, and I did not yell cut.

Man, it was going so well just now.

Exactly. My emotions were perfect just now too.

I thought you were different from the others, Director.

What?

I am completely crazy about this woman.

My eyes were already doing all the work,

and the viewers would be totally immersed with their hearts pounding.

Then the minute-by-minute ratings would obviously hit their peak.

And?

And yet you insist on ending it with the leads locking lips,

believing it is the only way to transmit love to viewers,

the illogical and uncreative style of Korean dramas...

You are not that kind of lousy director, are you?

Oh, well, I am not on the lousy side. Gosh...

No, but it is a romance, so if we leave out the kiss scene...

The ratings will drop, and we will lose advertisements.

- Exactly. - Want to make a bet?

Darn it.

Hey, this is the ending scene for episode eight.

The ending of episode eight has to be a kiss.

We've trained them to expect it,

so how can we change the viewers overnight?

I know you don't shoot kiss scenes. I know.

But just this once, do it as a favor to me.

Then, as a favor to you, Director...

I will not shoot it. Absolutely no kiss scenes.

(The Cocky Detective and Con Artist, Filming in progress)

Why? Why on earth not?

Why would you refuse to shoot something so good?

- Because I don't want to. - Shoot it.

- I will not. - Shoot it.

- I absolutely will not. - Hey, Um Tae Bong!

Just as I thought.

You are lousy.

"Lousy?" Hey, you punk!

The word I hate the most is lousy! Seriously!

Oh, darn it.

Call the writer. Tell her I could not persuade that jerk.

This is driving me crazy.

I mean, what kind of romance master refuses to shoot kiss scenes?

And who made him that romance master?

I'm Pyo Jin Gosh!

But he wants to attach a label like "does not shoot kiss scenes" to it?

That is exactly why he is crazy.

If he were next to me, I would have beaten him to death.

This is already his third project with me.

If he keeps refusing this time, I will make his character...

into complete trash!

I will be sure to pass that on to the trash.

I passed it on.

I heard you had a fight with the director too.

Why did you talk down to the director?

Should I drop my age next time?

Or my forehead?

Oh, I ought to just...

A romantic comedy lead refusing to shoot a kiss scene.

Where do I even begin to study this rare specimen?

Do not study me.

You have made a lot of money off this rare item so far, CEO Park.

Are you in the mood for jokes right now?

There is going to be another scandal now!

Gosh.

Oh, I need to hold it in.

Should we have just revealed everything from the very beginning?

No.

If we did, would you have blown up like this out of nowhere?

But you still have those romantic eyes,

- so let us keep pushing forward. - What if we reveal it...

even now?

The reason why I don't shoot kiss scenes.

You got famous from romance, and romance is where you sell best.

Your life as a romance actor would be dead.

And that is...

a fatal flaw as a man, too.

What are you looking at, punk? Darn you.

What?

A flaw?

Let's set up a dating rumor first. It worked last time, too.

You are the only one in Korea...

whose dating rumors boost your popularity.

Just stick with the sexy and decadent playboy image.

A win-win strategy with women...

who want to get famous through you, just like now.

Tae Bong,

you trust me, right?

I will be the only one...

who knows your secret until the day I die.

Look hard for one.

I am going to the interview.

Oh, okay.

Have a good time.

(CEO Park Hwan Su)

Where am I going to find a girl who is naive...

but can keep a secret this time?

- I'll do it. - Okay.

Shall we begin?

Yes.

After the unprecedented hit "The Crown Prince's Bodyguard,"

this is your first reunion in three years.

Will we not be seeing a kiss scene in this project either?

There are rumors that there is a real reason behind it.

I am sure you know that I am not into men.

Honestly, my skills are too breathtaking to show publicly,

so I think the broadcasting committee would censor it.

Well,

I can prove it to you privately as much as you want.

I suppose differentiating yourself from other romance actors...

is a good strategy.

Assuming you are not deceiving your fans...

for some other reason.

Are you not going to ask our leading lady any questions?

As for Na Ri...

Right. How do you take care of your skin, Na Ri?

Excuse me? I don't do anything special...

To act while also promoting with your girl group,

what is the secret to your figure?

Do you have a special routine?

I just eat well and move around a lot...

I see.

Actor Um,

people say your acting range has broadened.

What did you focus on the most while acting?

My pores.

(The Cocky Detective and Con Artist)

Male actors care a lot about their skin too,

since TV resolution is incredible these days.

But this friend here is different from me.

On set, Song Na Ri's nickname is "Tattered."

How do you get your script so tattered?

Well, it is not that bad.

Oh, you should tell her about that too.

You are learning boxing these days.

You said you really want to use your fists,

but don't just swing them anywhere.

I am going to take a break first. My skin needs some moisturizing.

Good work.

What is up with him?

They say he gets sensitive when he has a shoot.

I'm just grabbing some water.

Oh my.

Through this project, what have you learned as an actress?

Hey...

- Thank you for earlier. - For what?

I was helping myself earlier, not you.

The questions were so cliché...

that I was just looking for a time to escape.

That kind of dullness is an enemy to the skin.

Right.

It is the truth.

Your script being tattered.

Keep making it tattered like that. But...

don't ever let your heart get tattered.

Gosh, it is cold.

Hey, wasn't Tae Bong's acting amazing earlier?

Pretending to take Song Na Ri's side...

while putting the reporter in her place.

Song Na Ri seemed completely touched by it.

I wasn't acting.

Then what was it?

Still, I guess I killed two birds with one stone.

Call CEO Park.

Tell him to call Song Na Ri's agency.

Why? Did that jerk say something to you again?

From now on,

I think my heart is going to be tattered.

Tae Bong, your smile faded again.

Yes, ten dollars.

Are you just looking at me instead of driving?

You were the one who said that every time you frowned,

- I should fine you. - I swear!

Should I buy you a megaphone?

But during the interview, Yangsu-dong,

you secretly took pictures of me, didn't you?

Even as a guy,

does my face make your heart flutter?

Do it one more time.

I will report you for taking photos without permission. Got it?

- Yes. - Oh, right.

The black hoodie you wore for your airport fashion,

the one with the skull embroidery on the hood.

Did you send it to the dry cleaners?

No.

What about the blue jacket we got sponsored last time?

Not that either.

Where did they all go?

Um Tae Bong, you crazy lunatic. He acts so high and mighty,

but he has absolutely no intuition.

Who would secretly photograph him because he looks cool?

I need proof photos so I can sell them.

No negotiations allowed.

(Hot Celeb Shop)

(New item of Um Tae Bong has been posted)

(Price: 300 dollars, Buy Now)

(Sold)

What? It's already sold.

- Ghost again? - They are a true ghost.

- Wow, that was gone in a flash. - Please cancel the payment.

I missed it again? Is this for real?

Gosh, I am full.

You're fine with just tteokbokki?

- Even though you saved me. - Yes, it is plenty.

I used to eat it every day,

but I stopped after my stepmother abandoned me...

to save money.

Who is that guy?

(Tteokbokki God)

I didn't expect them to follow me all the way here.

Someone is...

trying to kill me.

- Who? - Who?

- Why? - Why?

The people closest to me.

(The Crown Prince's Bodyguard)

That is why I...

don't trust anyone.

- Then you don't trust me either? - Then you don't trust me either?

- I could be a killer... - I could be a killer...

- hired to kill you, too. - hired to kill you, too.

No. I trust you.

- You trust me? - You trust me?

I trust you, Cha Hong Du.

I don't know why, but somehow...

I feel like you'd protect me.

Miss, I'll leave your package by the door.

Also, I've increased your credit card limit.

Thank you, Mr. Nam Goong.

Thank you.

Oh, right.

About that hoodie. It's a super rare limited edition,

and I only got to wear it once.

You have to find it.

- Should we report it? - Hey!

Last time he lost a sock, you reported it right away...

and threw a massive fit, saying it was a stalker.

And where did you find it?

Stuck right under the car seat you were sitting on.

If we report it and it turns up again?

Then he'll look like a total psycho.

- A psycho... - I'll make sure to find it.

Yes, whatever.

Oh, right.

What should we do with the gifts from your fans?

- Take them to my house. - Yes, sir. To your house, sir.

Have a good one.

(Celebrity Item Exchange)

(A transaction of 1,000 dollars has been deposited)

I trust you.

I don't know why,

but somehow I feel like you'd protect me.

I hope wearing this...

makes me truly strong.

Just like the Iron Man suit.

- Yes, hello. - I think that's him.

Wow, he's so handsome.

- He looks better in person. - His face is so small.

He's really handsome.

He must be here to eat.

Did you give up on acting?

- Aren't you counting calories? - You're the one who gave up.

Why is a personal trainer making ramen here?

You little punk.

- Oh my, is he hitting him? - Is Um Tae Bong getting beaten up?

No way.

(We Have Noodles)

- We have an audience, buddy. - Cut the crap, buddy.

Eat up.

- They must be friends. - I guess not.

How long are you going to stay here?

Has CEO Park still not found you a trainer?

That old gym. I bought it last week.

So take charge of my body again. My body...

only remembers you.

What? His body remembers him...

- Oh my gosh. - Crazy bastard.

Why? There's only one bite left.

Actually,

those beautiful fans over there have been staring at me.

Those people...

are here to see me.

- Are you on drugs? - You should take some.

This guy, seriously.

Sit down.

(We Have Noodles)

Do you want to fight?

- Take off your armor, you punk. - Gosh, you are no fun.

- I am leaving. - Already?

Yes.

Anyway,

- think carefully about my offer. - Gosh.

Look at this, look at this.

Oh, seriously. Be careful.

What should we eat?

Should we just have chicken?

I like peppermint candy the best. Right after our Hyun Joo.

Oh, what is that? That is so cheesy. Give me one too.

Really? Here, eat it.

- Oh, seriously. - Hey, they sell hats.

It is pretty.

My grandmother almost died. The man who loved her...

put that ring on her finger and proposed,

and she came back to life.

Of course, she was a bit strange after waking up.

What is this, the One Ring?

This foreigner is lying his mouth off in Korean.

It's 30 dollars. It is really cheap. It is a steal.

(Outstanding Employee Award)

There you go again. Did I not tell you to always smile?

Happy?

Tae Bong. I am leaving the fan gifts here.

Oh, boy.

(Tae Bong, I hope you are miserable for the rest of your life.)

You again?

You knew your direct messages would be blocked,

so you are going to keep sending fan letters?

But does a hater really need to be this diligent?

You...

didn't come with that, did you?

Are you sure you two are not on the same team?

You ugly thing.

("'Romance Master' Um Tae Bong Refuses Kiss Scenes")

(Only mysterious excuses?)

(Sports Daehan Reporter Yeo Mi Ran)

Even without kiss scenes, my heart is already on fire!

Is he avoiding kiss scenes because of bad breath?

Do not pay attention to them.

We, Um's Little Darlings, will protect you.

Wait, maybe Um Tae Bong has never even kissed anyone?

What? "Never even kissed anyone?"

How do you know?

How do you know if I've never kissed anyone or not?

Tae Bong.

Let's head out.

It is time to shoot scene 13 today.

They said they are going to start shooting right now.

Were we supposed to shoot here today?

Yes, over there.

He is so handsome, wow, freaking handsome.

Look over here.

This neighborhood hasn't changed...

- He is so handsome. - one bit.

Shall we go?

Excuse me, coming through. I am sorry.

I really want to see Um Tae Bong too.

We have a lot of work to do, miss.

Ma'am. They say Um Tae Bong is outside.

What? Really? Is he handsome?

The alley is especially noisy today.

You know about it too, Manager Nam Goong.

They are filming a drama right out front,

and they say he is here. You know, Um Tae Bong.

Yes, I saw him too.

Gosh, but that guy...

looked like he got seriously injured during filming.

What? No...

Where and how badly?

Well, I only caught a glimpse...

Anyway, the situation did not look good.

- Oh no. - I hope he is not hurt too badly.

No, it sounds like a major accident.

No, what is...

Oh my.

Um Tae Bong, that guy,

if he really suffered a major injury...

- What do we do... - Gosh.

No, what is going on?

I...

feel like...

something's wrong...

- Oh, what do we do? - He collapsed.

- Is he hurt? - Tae Bong!

(Umtaebong)

("Um Tae Bong, Major Injury During Filming")

(Actor Um Tae Bong was covered in blood. After the accident...)

Darn it...

Am I really...

going to end like this?

Are you listening?

If you are listening from somewhere,

come quickly.

Hurry...

Hurry and run...

If not now, we...

will never...

meet.

Ms. Hae Ra...

- Is she going outside? - I think she is going out...

Just a little more.

Hurry.

Hurry and run.

Hurry.

I can do this.

If not this time,

I might never see him again.

Please come quickly, hurry.

Cut, okay.

Gosh.

Why is he running in there?

Why are you overreacting and coming in before the cut sign?

Seriously, you...

Why?

Was my acting that realistic?

If I don't react like this, you will nag me forever.

I am the one who has to act, me. Hey.

Director,

I don't think this take was okay either.

Let's go one more time.

No, no, no. What is wrong with him?

No, this one was killer.

Even Christopher Nolan would be blown away.

I think my lines got a bit twisted.

When I got hit by the wooden sword, instead of "Ack,"

I think I went "Gosh."

Oh, what are you talking about? I clearly heard... It wasn't "Gosh."

- It was "Ack." Yes. - Right, "Ack."

Please, let's move to next location.

Didn't you say to take out that splinter?

- Move to next place. - Moving, moving.

- Hurry up. - It's true, you totally killed it.

- Moving. - You killed everyone here.

Pack it up!

Great work, everyone. Great work.

Gosh, still...

You already did it all earlier.

I get it. Wow, I was really moved too...

Don't eat it.

On that note, get some coffee from the cafe over there.

What, all the way over there? It's too far...

I know it's far. That's why I'm telling you to go there.

I'll be over there getting my injury treated,

so hurry back.

Seriously, calling an ambulance over a single splinter in your finger.

Gosh, how am I supposed to walk in this weather?

Who said to walk?

Run! Run.

Dolce cold brew latte, no ice.

- Seon Mi, let's go. - Want to monitor the footage?

Yes, turn it on.

("Um Tae Bong, Major Injury During Filming")

(Actor Um Tae Bong was covered in blood. After the accident...)

Gosh, who wrote this?

Man, they're exaggerating as much as I do.

The reporter who came to the set earlier.

They left after seeing you make a huge fuss about dying of pain.

No, the ambulance was on standby for shooting the action scene.

I didn't actually call it for a splinter.

I'll go return the stunt double's costume.

You...

- Is he hurt? - Is he inside?

He shouldn't be hurt.

- Isn't that him? - Isn't he hurt?

- Are you filming? - Yes.

Awesome.

Tae Bong is in the ambulance right now, CEO Park.

Excuse me.

- What is it? - What is it?

Yes. It's nothing. All right.

Oh no.

I hope it's nothing...

Hey, that's...

That's definitely my hoodie.

Who are you?

I got you.

What?

Who are you?

I'm asking you. What are you doing here right now?

This voice...

is the real Um Tae Bong?

Oh, the skull embroidery.

Oh, even the ramyeon broth stain. This is undeniably mine.

How do you have this?

Whatever. What's your deal?

I'm someone who really, really likes you...

- A thief? - I'm a thief.

What?

I was wondering why things kept disappearing lately.

Gosh, it was a Robin Hood in a hoodie.

You sneaked in like this before and stole everything.

Gosh, I am really not a thief.

I really just came to see you,

and I stepped out of the house for the first time in 20 years...

Robin Hood.

Do you think I will let you off if you look at me like that?

Celebrities must show mercy to haters, stalkers, and thieves,

no matter what, just to look like good people.

But what can I do? I am not that kind of person.

What do you even look like?

Take that off.

Oh, you are running away?

Take it off.

You won't?

Fine, then I will take it off for you.

I bought coffee. Stop whining and just...

Where did she go? You...

We'll be late for the flight.

Darn it...

No.

(Two Weeks Later)

It is Um Tae Bong!

Do you know rumors broke out...

while filming overseas for two weeks?

Are you confirming your relationship with Song Na Ri?

You are not coming in together? You two must have already fought.

We are together today, but tomorrow...

Who knows.

Yes, excuse us. Coming through. Careful.

- Excuse me! - Coming through.

She has no obvious physical injuries...

and is breathing on her own,

but she's in a persistent vegetative state.

If she continues in this condition,

you may need to prepare for the worst...

I am sorry, sir.

Please give us a moment.

Why do you think she is not waking up?

Other than her mother, no one ever hugged her.

She was fearful, timid, and even had social anxiety.

She lived like a ghost for so long,

and now she is rebelling against me like this?

Chairman Oh.

What did this child like the most?

Show her as much of that as possible.

The shareholders' movements are not looking good.

They will likely propose my dismissal at the general meeting,

so to defend our management rights,

word about her condition must not leak out.

Understood.

Why did she suddenly go out?

If only she had not done that...

(Juan Hospital)

I would like to gift our young lady a special time for her birthday.

(CEO Park Hwan Su)

Well, a fan meeting for just one person is...

a bit difficult to price...

What? A blank check?

But there is a condition.

The patient's details must remain strictly confidential.

Gosh, no.

You could've just called. Why do you keep making me come and go?

Do you want me to say it again?

- No. - Why do you hate the idea so much?

Have you ever even seen one? A blank check?

That is why I said no.

Who are they to give me a blank check?

Well, they have a lot of money.

- Anyway, you have to do it. - No.

I can't stand people who think money can buy anything.

I am never doing a fan meeting like that.

Actually, that woman...

is sick.

They said it was top secret.

But I figured I should let you know.

She is sick?

She is sick.

Very sick, at that.

Hey.

Yes.

Should I schedule the fan meeting?

Do not ever act in front of me again.

Are you a goldfish? A birdbrain?

How could you forget so quickly...

Did you think I would just jump at the chance to do the fan meeting?

No, she is really sick...

This makes me really, really not want to do it even more.

Do not set me up with people who throw money around anymore.

And...

Stop with the terrible acting.

"She is sick."

What was that?

Gosh, darn it.

Yes. I understand.

It seems he and you are not meant to be.

But you must wake up.

You are the only heiress to BK.

And what happened back then...

You are a strong person who has endured so much until now.

Is Na Ri still in Hong Kong?

Did she say she was doing a girl group performance too?

You must miss your girlfriend.

Hold on.

Tae Bong, I'm at the Hong Kong airport right now.

I am stuck here because of bad weather.

I think I am going to miss the drama shoot.

Can you make them skip one week of broadcasting?

Why? What is it?

I'm hearing things.

I think I messed with the wrong person this time.

Why? What is going on?

What?

Oh my, it really is yours.

I really bought this on a celebrity memorabilia trading site.

I even got a photo of you wearing them as proof.

But there is a lot of your stuff circulating on there.

Wow, what kind of crazy lunatic...

would post this on there like that?

Oh, they need to be taught a serious lesson.

(Juan Hospital)

They absolutely cannot revise the script,

so for now, the actress standing in for Na Ri...

is going to film in her place today.

Since she just lies there, her face will not be shown,

so it is fine if an extra does it.

Yes, you are here?

Is something wrong?

Well, the script says a simple ring,

but the props team prepared a huge gemstone ring.

Oh, your ring...

Can we use that as a prop?

No. This is the One Ring.

So absolutely, absolutely not.

Oh man, this props team...

(Emergency Medical Center)

What is wrong with him?

They said he only slept for a few hours.

That is how it is for extras.

Should I wake him up?

- No, I will just go somewhere else. - Okay.

Our scene is set up in the VIP hospital room on the ninth floor.

Prep is all done, and they said Song Na Ri's stand-in is there too.

I will go wait there.

Tae Bong, the elevator...

Right.

Oh, it is spacious.

Excuse me, let's practice a bit.

What?

She is sleeping too. And in a very deep sleep at that.

Oh well, sure, go ahead and sleep. The life of an extra is hard.

Back then, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow too.

The set looks realistic too.

And you look exactly like a real unconscious patient.

Okay, okay, you don't have to get up.

You sleep, and I will rehearse.

How did you pull off a scam with that brain?

No.

Because your brain is only capable of that much,

you got caught by an idiot like me.

Now, let's pretend I put the ring on you.

You are in big trouble now.

You can't go to another guy now.

Gosh, man, the feeling is just not there.

You are in big trouble now.

You can't go to another guy now.

You can't even smile at another guy.

Don't leave me.

Without you,

I really can't go on.

I love you.

Darn it.

Gosh.

I am getting strangely emotional.

You saw everything while sleeping, didn't you?

Yes.

Song Na Ri says she will arrive in four hours,

and she insists on shooting this scene herself.

Something about not being able to leave even one scene to a stand-in.

She is so full of herself, seriously.

Gosh, I will just push forward with it.

I will tell them we don't have time.

No.

The lines are not rolling off my tongue either.

That little thing...

is really going to be an actor.

Hey extra, your shoot is canceled for today too.

But well, I have no intention of telling you.

That is your punishment for sleeping earlier.

I am leaving, so you just keep sleeping here.

Good work.

January 23, 8:05pm. The patient has passed away.

Of all days, on her birthday...

When will you be at the hospital, sir?

Even if I go,

will that child come back to life?

Hey. Darn it.

Grab him.

Hey, grab him. I said hold him.

I told you, didn't I?

That I would always...

protect you.

They say we remember the first being we see after birth as our mother.

This woman in front of my eyes right now,

who has met me after being born again...

How will she remember me?

(Oh! My Guard)
