EPISODE 15

What does "Ji Soo-ho murdered Woo Ji-woo" mean?

Why did you tell me you're Ji-woo?

What is it? Tell me.

Now that I think about it, in the hospital...

there was another boy next to you.

Was he Woo Ji-woo?

Can't you tell me everything?

I want to know.

Woo Ji-woo...

died...

at the age of 16, because of me.

Woo Ji-woo is going to the semi finals.

I'm going to make it to the finals!

The only friend in my life that I met in the hospital...

was Woo Ji-woo.

He was terminally ill and hospitalized since he was ten.

But he was very strong and positive.

He didn't have many days left.

But he lived a much happier life than me.

He was unique.

If I win this contest,

I'll confess my feelings to Geu-rim.

And the girl Ji-woo liked was...

you.

And...

I liked you, too.

Then, who was the one in the hospital hallway?

That was me.

Why did you not want me to take off my blindfold?

Why did you say you were Ji-woo?

I just...

I was scared.

Ji-woo liked you.

And I did, too.

One day...

I saw you on my way home.

And I followed you before I realized it.

After that...

I met you for a long time without telling Ji-woo.

Then...

I couldn't tell him...

I was meeting you secretly.

After that...

The final singing contest is today.

You must come.

If I win the contest,

I'll confess my feelings to Geu-rim.

Because of me...

Because of me...

I didn't even go to his funeral.

I just slept.

I slept for weeks, doing nothing.

After that...

I haven't been able to sleep well ever since.

I...

didn't want to see you ever again.

But after seeing you...

there was nothing I could do.

I knew it wasn't right.

But I liked you more.

You must've...

thought of Ji-woo when you looked at me...

all along.

So, you haven't been able to sleep without pills since then?

Are you OK?

OK about what?

Are you OK with me after hearing all that?

Why?

You are you.

Woo Ji-woo was your best friend.

And now I love you.

There will be a lot of reporters tomorrow for Soo-ho's birthday.

So be prepared.

Those things happen all the time.

Don't worry.

You don't call me. You cut my arms and legs.

And you're happy with your family?

I have nothing to lose, so I will reveal everything,

including your superficial family.

She is crazy.

Ms. Nam, what do I do?

You're driving me crazy!

How long must I clean up your mess?

Please... What would I do if you don't take care of this?

You take care of it.

I have done everything I could.

I admit it's my fault, too.

But you pushed her limits. That's why Da-seul is doing this.

-You could've been soft... -So...

it's my fault?

No, that's not it.

-Maybe you contributed a bit... -Listen.

The day I had my miscarriage,

you brought in Ji Soo-ho.

It's painful to get calls from reporters and all the rumors.

If the truth is revealed, everything is over.

Soo-ho won't listen to me anymore.

You bring him home, whatever it takes.

Wow, it's just like Soo-ho.

I'm not going. I don't want to be photographed by reporters.

How can we do this without you on your birthday?

So, why do the reporters come on my birthday?

I'm busy tomorrow. Bye.

Are you OK?

I wanted to show off my cooking skills, but there are no ingredients.

Happy Birthday, Soo-ho!

Shall I pat you to sleep?

Or sing you a lullaby?

That's why you can't sleep. Staring at the ceiling and blinking your eyes!

I told you I'll help you sleep.

What? Are you going to stay like that all night?

Stop teasing me.

Why? What are you so shy about?

Can I hold your hand?

Good night.

To the right, there. A little more.

-OK. Lower it a little. -The person you called cannot...

JI SOO-HO

His phone is off again.

Oh, jeez.

You are...

Why did you come here?

Wow, this is great.

You guys pushed me off the cliff, and you're all fine here.

Hey, hey!

You're so influential that you could block the press conference.

There's nothing much I can do.

So I will follow and harass you.

I gave you your last warning.

Ms. Nam!

Hitting rock bottom left me with no fear.

-Everything you did to me-- -Jung Da-seul!

and everything I did with you,

will go public.

Can you handle that?

You will be in trouble if the media finds out about Ji Yoon-seok's affair.

Don't you get it?

I'm already in trouble.

I'm already at the bottom.

I have nothing to lose.

I'll reveal everything.

Your fake family,

and how everything is a lie.

I'm here to scare you.

See you later at the birthday party.

I'll try to stop her.

When will the reporters come?

In less than an hour.

What about Soo-ho?

Mom, how do I make miyeok-guk?

Yes.

I want your recipe, not the internet's.

Who are you cooking for?

Ji Soo-ho?

Good morning!

Didn't you say you have insomnia, so you can't sleep?

You didn't wake up even once.

How do you know that?

I was watching you all night.

Thank you.

Happy birthday, Soo-ho.

What do you want to do today? Tell me everything you want to do.

What? Tell me anything.

I want...

to do nothing.

Just eat, sleep and rest.

I just want to be with you

in a quiet place.

I made miyeok-guk.

Eat first and then decide what we will do.

-Hello! -Hello.

KIM JOON-WOO

I disguised myself this morning to buy cake and groceries.

It was like living as a star for a day.

Since I've been in the media, I was nervous that I might be recognized.

And...

I wanted to buy a birthday present, but I couldn't.

You have everything.

So I wanted get something other than things, but I couldn't yet.

Don't think I will skip over this.

I'm looking for something touching. Maybe you can give me a hint?

What is it? Why are you just smiling?

Tell me. What would you like?

I really don't know!

Is it good?

This tastes a little bit...

Don't eat then.

I tried really hard this morning.

Ah... it's hard to say.

I can't believe this.

Don't eat. Stop eating!

I don't need a gift.

Silly.

Thank you for coming to Soo-ho's birthday party.

But I'll have to apologize to you.

Soo-ho couldn't make it as he is very ill.

What's this?

It has been a while since he stopped appearing at public events.

-Maybe the rumor is true. -What do we do now?

He must be really sick!

My husband went home to take care of him.

Soo-ho wanted me to deliver his deep apology.

Fans and reporters, we are very sorry.

We will begin now.

Thank you for supporting me and my family.

I will show a better me with your support and encouragement.

Thank you for your unconditional love.

Thank you. I'm happy.

This looks like a drama scene.

But you don't look like a superstar, either.

-Then, what do I look like? -You just look like my boyfriend.

I have something for you.

I should've given you this a long time ago.

But I'm giving it to you now.

TO MY MUSE SONG GEU-RIM

These are the letters

Ji-woo wanted to give you.

The finals are tomorrow, right?

The last one.

Can you give this to Geu-rim for the last time?

After I win tomorrow,

I will tell her everything.

TO MY MUSE SONG GEU-RIM

Soo-ho.

You haven't read this letter at all?

It says "To Geu-rim",

but it seems this letter was written not to me, but to you.

TO SOO-HO, I LIKED YOU THE FIRST TIME I MET YOU

Hi, Soo-ho!

You must be surprised to see your name instead of Geu-rim's.

It's because I found out you haven't been giving my letters to Geu-rim

because you love her so much.

So I decided to write to you.

I'm not sure when you will read this letter.

Have you told her how you feel yet?

Your face says everything.

I want my favorite two people, Geu-rim and you, to be happy.

I don't know when you will read this.

Soo-ho, even after I'm gone,

I want you to live happily forever.

I feel like I intervened in you and Ji-woo's love.

Ji-woo gave you a really nice birthday gift today.

Right?

Did you want to go out with me?

I wanted to go to Soo-ho's birthday party.

You don't belong there.

What?

Think about it. Would he want to be with you on his birthday?

You're so dull.

But why did you bring me here?

Do you remember anything you said when you were drunk?

Let's just walk.

You said you keep crying if you don't say anything.

If you have something to say, go ahead. I'll listen.

Walk straight.

You fall down because your heels are too high.

Why did you catch me? Do you like me?

-What? -Are you going to be my manager?

You catch me when I'm falling and meet me when I want.

I'm Soo-ho's manager. I'm not being nice to you as your manager.

You said you won't be my manager!

-Then, be my boyfriend. -What?

If not a manager, you're my boyfriend. Why are we together then?

-What? -Stop laughing. Answer me!

You don't have courage or guts.

You've not been telling me how you feel for years.

You wait until a girl asks you out.

So, where should we go?

Let's go to a nice place if that's OK with you.

I have to go to the radio station.

What?

Producer Kang called me and asked me to come immediately.

So you're going?

He asked you to come, too.

What?

Don't you feel good?

You record the radio show on your birthday?

If we record seven days' worth of shows,

we'll have lots of time to date.

Is that right?

Of course! We can date after the recording, too.

Like who you like.

Is there anything simpler and more beautiful than this?

Sincerity makes people human.

Who will you be sincere to today?

Ji Soo-ho's Radio Romance comes to you at 4:00 a.m.

Today is Soo-ho's birthday. We should have dinner together.

Certainly. Where do superstars go for dinner?

-Let's leave now. -Let's see how things go first.

Ah, Soo-ho!

I want to speak to you in private.

Soo-ho!

You have to go.

Your absence at the party became a topic for writing.

We should hold an interview for that.

We would've been there, if we'd known this.

I'll take care of this after I drop you off.

So wait. Don't worry too much.

-How is my mother doing? -I haven't heard from her.

So, it's even scarier.

And you friend, Jason...

I found out more about him, as I had a strange feeling.

He is connected to CEO Nam, as I was before.

The stories are endless in this house.

It's unbelievable.

Soo-ho's birthday party without Soo-ho.

I felt bad as it mirrored the reality of this family.

Soo-ho in the video also looked so fake.

I went to an ossuary with Soo-ho yesterday.

He got so mad he even hit me.

Excuse me?

That's the real Soo-ho.

And that's why I accepted your offer.

I asked you to make Soo-ho sane.

Do you realize that you're also making him a mess?

This could be the true him--

That's not what I wanted.

Go to his place now and report to me how he is doing,

including his schedule, how he is doing, and what he is thinking.

JI SOO-HO IS A MURDERER

I REMEMBER MARCH 2006

CASE STUDY ABOUT JI SOO-HO

REPORTER: JASON SUBJECT: JI SOO-HO

So, did you do a lot of research on me?

So...

how did you diagnose my case?

You must've been busy.

You had to do case study and report about me to the CEO.

Did you get paid more than I paid you?

How much was that?

-Soo-ho-- -Do you have more to search on me?

Is there more reaction I need to show to you?

Don't be so upset.

Don't be upset?

Being upset is not the feeling you need to research?

And...

what reaction do you want to draw from me by placing this on your desk?

You're right. I put it there for you to see.

Should I be mad? Or cry for you?

What? What do you expect from me?

What you did to me...

is not a treatment, but a scar.

You gave me a new scar.

Do you understand?

I just... because you didn't open up to anyone--

Are you happy to see me get mad like this?

Why do you think I'm mad now?

Tell me why I'm mad now!

I'll tell you why.

I thought...

you were my only best friend after Ji-woo.

And you...

you did all of this to me.

Get out of my house now.

Major media reporters seem scared of CEO Nam's power.

I have evidence, too.

Are you sure about this?

Ms. Nam!

Everything you did to me--

-Jung Da-seul! -and everything I did with you,

will go public.

Can you handle it?

You will be in trouble if the media finds out about Ji Yoon-seok's affair.

Look, he is having an affair!

Oh, wow!

That's too bad for Soo-ho.

Yes.

I had an affair with Ji Yoon-seok,

who is known as an exemplary husband.

So I've been threatened by his wife, Nam Joo-ha.

And I was forced to quit the drama I was filming.

SONG GEU-RIM

Yes.

Did you read the article?

Here is the gift.

The name of the plant is Soo-ho.

It's a resilient plant.

The producer gave it to me when I became the main writer.

I'll give it to you for now.

I'm lending this to you.

Soo-ho is mine, so you have to give it back to me.

For now,

you can keep it for its resilience.

I'm envious of you.

Your mom is warm and positive.

You're like your mom in--

You are the same.

You're warm and positive, too.

And you love your mom more than anyone.

I think your mom knows that, too.

Do you know that?

You show your true face to those you care about.

I saw it many times,

you talking to your mom with your true face.

I'm sure your mom knows.

You must've seen the article about my family.

I'll need to do a press conference tomorrow.

I think you should know.

What press conference?

About my family.

It can affect the radio program, too.

Good luck tomorrow.

Until you come back, I will wait for you with Geu-rim.

Thank you.

Ji Soo-ho's family is nothing like we know.

JI SOO-HO'S FAMILY IS ALL AN ACT

They look nice from the outside,

but all they care about is money, and they have no virtue.

I've been threatened by CEO Nam Joo-ha.

And I was forced to quit the drama I was filming.

Where is Dad?

It's not like you to sit hopelessly like that.

I don't have energy to fight with you.

I'll take care of this.

If there's any chance for us to be happy,

now will be the time.

Soo-ho!

What do I do now?

Don't you have to be with Mother?

Couldn't there be any way?

What do I do now?

How can you only think about yourself, even in this situation?

Can you think of Mother even once?

She doesn't let me get close to her.

She'll never collapse.

She has...

already collapsed, while you were not home.

Maybe you didn't see it.

But I was watching it the whole time.

How do you feel, Soo-ho?

-Ji Soo-ho! -Say something!

-Soo-ho! -Look here!

It's time. Let's go.

What are you going to do?

Why are you doing this all by yourself?

What's the truth?

Jung Da-seul must be telling the truth.

What if they are really all fake?

Will it end Ji Soo-ho's career?

-There's Ji Soo-ho. -He's here.

JI SOO-HO'S PRESS CONFERENCE

Is it true the family is fake, as Jung Da-seul insists?

Some media say you're all following a script. Is that true?

It's true that we are a fake family.

As you suspect,

my family...

acted as an exemplary family through media play.

It's true that we got benefits by doing lots of commercials,

doing business with the family brand,

and growing the business.

And as you all know,

I'm not the biological son of CEO Nam.

When I was young,

I was shocked by this.

But now...

I think my existence must've been hurting the family.

To keep me from the outside world,

they told lies.

Those lies were all for my benefit.

If I didn't exist,

there wouldn't have been any need for those lies.

Nevertheless,

my mom... raised me as her son.

She is not my real mother,

but she did her best so I can be who I am today.

In fact,

I don't know what a real mom is like, as I haven't had one.

But if you call someone who spends most of her time with her kid a mom,

CEO Nam is rightly my mom.

-What made you say that? -How do you feel?

That's enough. Stay back.

Ji Soo-ho revealed that his family is all fake.

Behind the mask of being an exemplary husband,

Ji Yoon-seok was found to have no morals, having affairs with actresses.

Everything that was hidden from the public was revealed.

Did you hear about Ji Soo-ho's story?

It sounded serious.

So, he won't be able to continue the drama?

I don't know.

The investors are saying that they'll sue us.

Wow, that's so loyal. Is this what you call a team?

How could they pretend like that?

I know. He is not even their real son.

You!

Every family has a story.

How beautiful is your family? Tell me.

You.

My parents have been separated for a long time because of affairs.

My dad left home when I was in elementary school.

Have you been waiting for this moment to bite him off?

I'm busy.

Stop crying and say something.

Where is Soo-ho?

He is at my home because reporters are everywhere.

Can I go see him? Please?

You threatened him with a recording.

So what?

I didn't intend to reveal the recording in the first place.

It was just...

I didn't know Soo-ho was having such a hard time.

I poured salt in his wound.

Why did I do that?

I'm busy. Bye.

Where are you?

I'm fine. I feel relieved, really.

You can sleep by yourself, right?

Of course.

I have you. I will be fine.

If you can't sleep, I'll sing you a lullaby.

So call me. OK?

You must've been surprised because of me. Sleep well.

OK.

We'll tell you the true story of the family.

Ji Yoon-seok has had a long time affair with Jung Da-seul.

So JH CEO, Nam Joo-ha--

-Ji Yoon-seok, tell us. -Do you have anything to say?

I'll explain later. OK. I will tell you later.

OK.

Let's go.

PERFECT LIES FROM PERFECT FAMILY

What are you going to do? Do you really want to keep Soo-ho?

The media and public opinions are so negative.

He'll also discontinue the drama.

They are talking about requesting compensation.

Will you be OK?

No one is awake at 4:00 a.m. So it's fine.

This is a headache.

Everyone is talking about it.

I'm not sure about having the trouble maker as a DJ.

So what?

Who doesn't have a family story?

I'm keeping Soo-ho.

I know your program airs at 4:00 a.m.

But this is not that simple.

It isn't that complicated, either.

What's so hard? Soo-ho is Soo-ho.

He's not different from yesterday.

Your image has changed so much.

We can't continue the drama with you.

We did all the foreign shoots and everything, as you requested.

You must take full responsibility for this.

About compensation...

OK.

It's only right to compensate you.

Excuse me?

You can discuss the details with me.

I think it's time to end all this.

Soo-ho.

What will I do now?

How will I show my face outside?

Why are you asking Soo-ho that?

You like Song Geu-rim so much.

She will have to deal with rumors for her entire life because of you.

And will you be fine with that?

Stop, please.

I can't do this with you anymore.

You like Song Geu-rim so much.

She will have to deal with rumors for her entire life because of you.

Can't you see your actions can hurt Song Geu-rim?

SONG GEU-RIM

I'm in front of your house, but there are too may reporters.

He won't go home for a while.

Then, where is he now?

I don't know either.

Hi.

Where are you?

I'm at Joon-Woo's home.

Really?

Yes.

Where are you?

Shall I go there?

No, there are a lot of reporters here, too.

I don't think I can see you tonight.

Are you OK alone?

Of course I am.

I want to see you too,

but I want to wait until things settle.

I'll call you back. Don't skip meals.

Where are you, Soo-ho?

You found me so easily.

Is this Joon-woo's place?

You're already lying to me.

Until I got here,

I thought really hard about where you would be.

But...

I couldn't think of any place you would be.

Should I guess why you didn't come and see me?

You must have thought,

"Would it be OK for me to stay with Geu-rim?"

But...

do you know what I decided

when I held you?

Just like

you held me even though it hurts

as I remind you of Ji-woo,

and just like you held me

even though you had to give up many things.

I will do that for you.

I don't just hold you when you're well and you shine.

No matter who you are,

I'll be with... you.

Nothing is set today. You'll have to lead the program.

That's what a radio program is. Nothing is set.

CEO Nam also wanted to know the real you.

-Woo Ji-woo? -Do you know him?

I have a favor to ask.

Everyone strongly demands you to be fired.

Producer Lee is leaving again. Our team will be dissolved again!

Lee Kang!

How could I do radio without you?

-What do you want? -You. I am going to propose to you.
