♪ Love to hate you ♪

[vocalizing]

[Kang-ho] You must be freezing.

-Let's go inside. -Okay, sounds good.

[Kang-ho] I'll order something tasty.

-See you around. -Good night.

[Kang-ho] I can't stand these girls.

-[grunts] -[clattering]

-Yes! -[alarm blares]

Whoa.

Uh-oh. [panting]

[alarm continues blaring]

Yes! At least they're outside now.

[suspenseful music playing]

Here. Have a good night.

Oh, thanks.

[police sirens blaring]

You're here.

[indistinct chatter over police radio]

Seriously? Is he actually the president in disguise?

[man 1] It looks like it was intentionally thrown at the camera.

-[man 2] Does anything come to your mind? -No.

Well, I mean, I do have some crazy fans.

[suspenseful music continues]

NICE GUYS GET A PASS BAD BOYS HAVE IT COMING

[Mi-ran] There's no way

that she could be just a fan

or a relative.

It was late,

and the young girl came alone.

I have a hunch about this.

[train horn blaring]

A cop's intuition.

A rookie cop may not notice it no matter how hard they try.

But once he starts to see it, he sees it all the time.

[suspenseful music continues]

[both grunting]

[shouting]

Please, don't hurt me!

[both grunting]

[breathing heavily]

[Mi-ran] A professor, 52, paid his daughter's underage friend for sex.

A 49-year-old executive had paid intercourse

with 13 minors through an app.

A 47-year-old male teacher stalked a female student.

A pastor, age 46, sexually exploited 40 minors over 20 years.

A 36-year-old star has paid intercourse with a minor.

[Kang-ho] I can't stand these girls.

[wolf howling]

[Mi-ran] I feel it in my gut.

She's definitely a minor.

I would love to gather some evidence and ruin Nam Kang-ho,

but what's more important is

I need to make sure that the girl is rescued and safe.

[reporter 1] Please look this way. Ji-hye, over here. Please wave your hand.

Okay, thanks a lot.

[emcee] Mr. Nam Kang-ho, in the spirit of your show,

could we ask you to make a heart?

[upbeat music playing]

Ah, as we all expected, not today either.

Mr. Nam is too classy to do that for us.

[reporter 2] This is the first time you worked together.

Was there chemistry between you two?

Uh, I think there were sparks between us.

We had long discussions about our characters

and the scenes we were in, and I would say that we worked well together.

[upbeat music continues]

I heard that there was already a kissing scene.

What do you think this kiss will be called?

Um, some have called it a kiss like glue.

[reporter 3] Why is that? Is it because your lips won't come apart?

[laughs] I guess you'll find out when you watch the show.

[crowd chattering excitedly]

[reporter 4] I heard you recently made a special cameo

in Tim Samuel's latest film.

Can you explain the connection that led to your appearance?

Right, so I used to live in LA when I was younger.

And a friend of mine from back in the day,

he worked on the production.

So I actually had to audition for him, and I was lucky enough that they liked me.

Um, I was there for only five days.

It was really a small part, and I gave it my best.

And I just hope that they didn't cut me out.

[Yong-woo] What happened to the noise complaint at Lia's apartment?

Mr. Ko, they dropped the charges. I made them know it'd be hard

for them to prove their claim. We wrapped it with four concert tickets

courtesy of Dowon Entertainment.

Okay.

What about Hyeon Chang-min's apartment?

-Last week, we "handled it." -[baby toy squeaking]

"Okay."

[sighs]

[Mi-ran] Seriously?

Accounting, legal, labor issues, everything.

All legal matters for our clients, we do it all.

Hmm.

Oh, yeah. The ex-girlfriend of Jay from Good Boys?

She agreed to get an abortion.

Fifty million won for the procedure and an NDA.

Okay!

[laughs] That's less than expected.

-[man] Thank you. -[Yong-woo] What about Min Ju-hyeok?

-[thunder rumbles] -[man] We found new videos.

We deleted them along with the chat room where they were shared.

[kettle whistling, hissing]

-[whistle blows] -Wait a minute.

Isn't this illegal?

-[inhales] -[Mi-ran sighs]

I said that we have already deleted all the videos along with the chat room.

[sighs, inhales]

[tense music playing]

Ah. [chuckles] Got it.

-[Young-ki clears throat] -[Jin-suh clears throat]

You're strong.

[chuckles] Yeah, a little.

But you seem to have a soft heart. You won't do well at this place.

[screaming, panting]

[electronic music playing]

Yeah!

I'm here to make money.

The rent. The rent.

I'd have gone somewhere else if not for that. [grunting]

-[cameras clicking] -Wow. Shh.

[cameras continue clicking]

That's close enough!

[cameras continue clicking]

Kang-ho, I texted you.

I told you to use the back door.

By the way, I think it's time that you get a new stylist.

I simply couldn't believe what you were wearing today.

But then you spoke very well.

[clears throat]

I'll see you later! Good luck.

Oh, Kang-ho, you're here. Hey, come in. Everyone's waiting. Hurry up.

Man, is she still acting up like that?

Jeez, we really have to do something about that.

[intriguing music playing]

A bunch of them out there?

Yeah.

Keep watching, and if things get out of hand,

call Attorney Lee, okay?

-Got it? -Yeah.

-[fan 1] Hey! -[fan 2] You!

Who are you to get in between Kang-ho and us, huh?

I just wanna say, Kang-ho is really exhausted.

He won't come out, so please go home.

Hey, who do you think you are? Are you his wife? Manager?

I'm his fan club president.

Think you're somebody, but you're not.

-[laughs] -What fan club has a president these days?

This one. Right here!

-I am. Me! Me! -We've never seen you before.

-I don't care! -What? What?

Wha… wha… wha… what?

NAM'S ROMANCE WILL THE WIN STREAK CONTINUE?

-[wolf howling] -[ominous music playing]

[door slides open]

[woman] Welcome.

[Young-ki] Oh man.

[clears throat]

[sighs]

Oh, thank you.

-Are you trying to pick a fight? -Young-ki.

That depends on you.

How scary.

[chuckles]

Yeah, you want me to stay away from Mi-ran, don't you?

-[scoffs] Yeah. -You said it was over.

Man, that girl, we didn't reach out to her.

She submitted her résumé and got hired through an interview.

Of all the law firms in the city, she has to join ours. [scoffs]

That's how she is.

She didn't even patch things up. She just, bam, falls into your life.

I thought it was over between us,

but I realized it that night when we went out.

I don't care what people think of me, but because Mi-ran was there…

Why did I have to wear pink briefs that day?

YEO MI-RAN

[phone vibrating]

Hey, Mi-ran.

[Mi-ran] Jin-suh, I have a question.

Who's Mr. Nam Kang-ho's lawyer?

[Jin-suh] Huh? I am.

Oh. Yeah?

Then maybe, on his cases, we can work together?

[Jin-suh] Why?

Well, isn't it obvious? I'm interested.

[inhaling sharply]

I think we still need some time apart.

[Mi-ran] No, no, I'm not saying that I'm interested in working with you--

Yeah, I'll think about it.

-[Mi-ran] What? -See ya.

[phone line hangs up]

Oh.

What? She wants you back?

[scoffs] You got it.

Even after seeing your pants rip?

-[chuckles softly] -[sighs] You're kidding, right?

Man, she must feel really bad for you. So what are you gonna do?

There'll be more embarrassing things for her to see.

Like how much you have to grovel for Choi Soo-jin and Nam Kang-ho.

No, it isn't. Not with Choi Soo-jin anymore. [chuckles]

Okay, you can keep telling yourself that.

-[phone vibrating] -Ah, here she is.

YOON SANG-SUP

[clears throat, inhales sharply]

-Yes, Sang-sup. -[inhales sharply]

Oh, yeah, I'm having a drink with an important client.

-What? -I got it.

[phone beeps off]

-Oh, shit. -Why? Do you have to go?

Man, I'm kind of dizzy.

Gosh, do they think we have nothing better to do

than just to be on standby?

Young-ki. [inhales sharply]

I'm sorry.

Can you cover me just for tonight?

[sighs deeply]

-[quietly] No. -Come on.

Then I guess it's on me.

I'll just have to ask someone who would do anything for me.

[phone line ringing]

[Mi-ran] Gosh, I'm an idiot.

Did I really just ask my ex to hook me up to another man?

It's like I was trying to insult him.

[phone vibrating]

Hello?

[Jin-suh] Can you get over to Nam Kang-ho right now?

You mean, right now?

[intriguing music playing]

So does this mean, from now on, we'll be working together?

[Jin-suh] I'll send you the location and the manager's phone number.

We'll talk while you're on the way. Thanks.

Sounds good.

[phone beeps off]

[Young-ki] Wow, unbelievable.

You ran into her at the hotel, and she still wants to get back together?

Well, that's how she is.

So cool.

[fan] Look at this! He's not captured in any of these photos!

[president] Whatever. I am telling you as the president of his fan club.

-[fans clamoring] -[fan] President, my ass!

[sighs] Goodness.

Man, what is her problem, seriously, huh?

-What's wrong? -Mr. Do.

Things are getting more and more serious out there.

-Shouldn't we call someone right now? -[fans clamoring]

If we call the police, it'll be on the front page of the newspaper tonight.

Mmm.

-Where is Attorney Lee? -He said he would be here soon.

We have to remove Ip-sae as the fan club president.

She's ruining Kang-ho's new TV show.

[Won-jun] Let her be.

At least she's acting out of affection. Her obsession will be hard to stop.

And you'd better not even think about going out there yourself, okay?

-[Sang-sup] Yes, sir. Yes, sir. -[Won-jun] Keep watch for now.

-Hey! -It's not my problem! Let go of me!

-[Kang-ho] What is it? Is there a problem? -No, not at all.

If they see you, they'll get crazier.

…really don't care!

[fans shouting angrily]

You hear that?

[whooshing]

[fans screaming]

[intense music playing]

[fans screaming]

[whistling]

-[fan 1] What is she doing? -[fan 2] I can't believe she threw that.

-What the… -[fan 1] Isn't that a toy?

Ta-da! Don't be alarmed, everyone.

-Just a toy. -[fan 2] Yeah, right.

-[fan 3] Who is she? -[Mi-ran] Okay, this is me.

I'm a lawyer.

-A lawyer? -A lawyer.

-Why is that woman here? -[Won-jun] Beats me.

What is she doing here?

-You don't know why? -Hey, Sang-sup, why is she here?

I… I don't know either. I called Lee Jin-suh when you told me to.

[Mi-ran] Okay, does anyone here know

how much the fine is for public disturbance?

-[fan 4] Well, uh… -Fifty thousand won per person.

And whoever attacks me will be sued for assault, just FYI.

-Understand? -No one's going to attack you.

However, let's say the assault possibly leads to an injury.

Then the situation could become very complicated.

You know the difference between assault and injury? Goodness!

Oh, Mr. Do! The director's looking for you.

-Yeah? -[assistant director] Yes.

-[Won-jun] Sang-sup. -[Sang-sup] Yes.

[Won-jun] Keep an eye on them. Call if something goes wrong.

[Sang-sup] Yeah, I got it.

-[assistant director] This way. -Let's go.

I'll see you.

[Mi-ran] That's enough legal talk.

I will now talk to you ladies on a very personal level.

I will probably talk informally,

so if you'd be offended, please go home now.

Well, then let's hear what you got.

Hmm. Okay. Raise your hand

if you've been to events like this less than three times. Hands!

Sure, if you're a fan, you can do this once or twice.

How about more than three times and less than ten times? Hands.

[comical music playing]

[gasps] So many of you, huh? Okay.

This can be sort of a hobby, I understand.

More than ten times?

Those who follow him on every occasion.

[comical music continues]

-[whistle blows] -You, stalker.

-You, stalker. You, stalker. -What?

What do you mean, "stalker"?

You think anyone in this world actually wants that?

-Of course not! -How can you call us that?

You're a lawyer. You can't say something so rude.

-[fan 5] Think you know everything? -Lawyers don't know everything!

-Girls! -[whistle blows]

The thing about men is

they like women who can make their own decision to walk away anytime,

but for the women who can't live without them, they don't care at all!

[chuckles]

Remember that.

Take that to your hearts!

Trust me. [sighs] One day, you will all understand.

-[man] It must have been tough to cast. -[Won-jun] Please try this.

This is really tasty, the crab shell.

You have a lot of work to do, so eat up.

Ah, jeez, you're drinking again. No way. Don't drink any more. Hey!

Kang-ho, let me pour you a drink.

[intriguing music playing]

[clears throat]

[Ji-hye] I'm learning a lot from you.

You spoke so graciously at the interview earlier.

To tell you the truth, I'm really not good at lying.

A poker face isn't something I do well.

It's cool to be honest,

but don't be a nuisance.

[phone vibrating]

Yeah. What happened?

-[Sang-sup] Well, they've all left. -Okay. And you haven't eaten yet?

-[Sang-sup] No, not-- -Right. Come over here and join us.

[Sang-sup] But the lawyer is waiting. She says she wants to say hi to Kang-ho.

Huh? Why?

[Sang-sup] She says she'll be handling Kang-ho's cases

with Attorney Lee from now on.

Wait, what?

[door opens]

Nice to meet you.

Yes, hello.

[Mi-ran chuckles]

[Won-jun] Hey, Sang-sup, you haven't eaten?

-[Sang-sup] Not yet. -You must be starving. You should go eat.

Thanks.

We met at the party.

So starting today, I'll be handling Mr. Nam's cases. I'm Yeo Mi-ran.

Yeah.

Miss Yeo, thank you so much for what you did tonight.

But I wasn't notified of such an arrangement.

Ah. [chuckles] Attorney Lee and I talked earlier about working together.

-But I never-- -On whose authority?

Pardon?

Are you perhaps doing this in the hopes that we would get closer?

-What? -Huh?

She said she likes me.

[gasps]

-She confessed that at dinner. -[Mi-ran gasps]

She told me she tripped me because she liked me.

[whimpers]

You know, back at the office, she was the one who did it.

[Won-jun] What?

[rhythmic music playing]

Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

Hey. No, hold on. Wait a minute. What are you saying, huh?

So you're saying that you tripped him on purpose?

[gasps] I wasn't intending to hurt him at all.

It's fine. She's already apologized.

What I want to know is what exactly brought you out here?

[chuckles nervously]

That's because I felt very bad.

I just wanted to help out in any way possible.

I don't have an ulterior motive. Not me.

-I swear to God! -Oh!

[Mi-ran] I do have an ulterior motive. You have no idea.

No ulterior motive? What about that?

[laughing nervously] This?

[laughing] It's soft. It doesn't hurt.

And I'm accurate, so don't worry, it wouldn't hurt anyone.

-Ah! -Oh, damn it!

[chuckling]

I'm quite athletic, you know. Or so I'm told.

[gasps]

Hey, I could be your bodyguard in situations like earlier. [gasps]

You wanna see?

[amusing music playing]

Here, watch.

[grunting]

-[shouts] -[grunting in slow motion]

[shouts]

-[grunting] -[Kang-ho gasps]

What are you doing? Never mind guarding him. You're about to kill him.

[Mi-ran panting]

Hang on. You're amusing, I'll admit.

But, you know, you can't win a fight just with some fancy moves, right?

What if someone bigger and stronger grabbed you like this?

[grunts, winces]

-[moaning] -[Mi-ran grunts]

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, come on. What are you doing?

-What's wrong with you? -[gasps]

-[Won-jun] Are you out of your mind? -[Mi-ran] Oh, I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

[whimpers] What am I doing?

-[ethereal music playing] -[Won-jun sighs]

Whatever the case, thank you very much for taking care of things today.

But Kang-ho here feels uncomfortable around female lawyers.

Good work today.

-[cat meows] -Have a good night. Let's go.

-[Kang-ho breathing shakily] -Come on, let's go. Hurry up.

-Let's go, come on. Let's get out of here. -Huh? Yeah.

[sighs] Oh man.

How the hell? He could have just said no to me.

Why point out that I'm a woman?

[sighs] Come on.

[sighs]

Hey, don't you think that woman is a little unstable?

[breathing heavily]

[grunts] Whoosh!

Oh, I feel dizzy. [sniffs]

Mixed martial arts.

She seemed legit but not traditional.

What the heck are you saying?

-Hey. -[Kang-ho sniffs]

I really think she's a bit unstable.

She screws you over, huh?

Then she helps you out, and then she's all over you?

Be careful of women.

Yeah, I'm always careful around women.

[chuckles] Whoosh!

[amusing music playing]

[Won-jun sighs]

[phone line ringing]

[Jin-suh, wearily] What are you two doing?

-Answer the phone. [grunts] -[phone beeps]

-[line ringing] -[inhales sharply]

YEO MI-RAN

Huh?

Hello? Ah, shit.

-Hello? -[Mi-ran] Hey, it's me.

-Why didn't you answer my-- -[Mi-ran] It's all done here.

How? Did you handle it well?

Yeah.

Of course. It was nothing.

I knew it. You don't need me.

You don't need my help either.

What kind of girl never asks for a ride home

and never asks me to pick her up?

-You better stop drinking. -[Jin-suh] Seriously.

-You take care, all right? -[Jin-suh] Huh? Hello?

[phone beeps off]

[sighs]

-[phone line beeping] -Hmm? Hello? [groans]

[sighs]

[phone line ringing]

[Young-ki] Who's this?

-[Jin-suh] Hey, give it back! -[grunts] You stupid moron.

I knew it. You like her more than she likes you.

I still love her. What do you know about that?

Hey! Maybe if you hadn't seen each other like that.

You both caught each other cheating. How could you get back together?

[sighs] I don't know.

I just know that she has a knack for ruining men.

It's almost like, once you fall for her,

you can't back out easily.

In pool, she scores 500 with her right hand and 200 with her left.

She's an expert in all kinds of things.

[sighs]

And she's good at just about any kind of sport.

She is fearless.

[tires squealing]

Wow. So cool.

[exhales deeply]

Get on.

[grunts] In order to catch a tiger, one must enter the tiger's den.

[amusing music playing]

[director chuckles]

You've done great.

-[director chuckles] -[Won-jun] Are you okay to go home?

I'm fine. I can get myself home.

-Thank you. Thanks for the great work. -Okay, I hear you.

-Take care -Get home safely.

-Good work today. Okay. -Thank you!

-Good job. -Mr. Do!

-Yeah? -Can I please have a word with you?

-[hiccups] -Looks like you've drunk again today.

Let's talk later when you're sober, okay?

But I do really have something important to tell you.

Please, it'll take only a minute. [laughs]

[sighs]

Go on ahead.

-[laughs] Good night. Bye. -Okay.

-[Won-jun] Where are you taking me? -[assistant director] Right over…

Hey. [breathing heavily]

I'm very sorry. Let me get something for my stomach.

What's wrong?

I don't know. I must be having an upset tummy. [grunts]

This is the reason why you shouldn't eat too fast.

-Come here. -What?

Hmm.

-[exhales] -You don't have a fever.

Right. [grunting]

Go home and get some rest, okay?

Huh? Oh, no. No, I have to drive you home first--

It's fine. I'll call a driver.

-But still, I should drive you. -Take this.

-Should I call you one? -No. I couldn't ask that.

Come on, it's no problem. You're not well.

Get some rest. Let me know when you feel better.

All right.

-Thank you. -Go home now.

-Get home safely. -All right.

[Sang-sup grunting]

-[Mi-ran] Driver! -My goodness!

-Shall I be your driver? -You're still here?

Oh, yes. [chuckles] I was hungry so I was eating at…

at a nearby restaurant.

I had just come out of there, and, well, here you are.

Ah… [exhales]

I can see you might think of me like some stalker. [inhales] Well…

All right, then.

I'm really truly sorry about the day that I tripped you,

and I would like to be of help in any way to apologize.

I'm fully certified.

I present to you a class-one license.

Just in case, if you're considering which way is ruder,

whether rejecting me and calling a driver or letting me drive you home,

from where I stand, it's more pitiful to be rejected and going home.

[Mi-ran] Come on. If I blow this, it'd be hard to get to him again.

[inhales deeply]

[intriguing music playing]

-You have a class-one license? -[laughing] Of course I do.

Having one isn't that big of a deal. Why would I lie?

[cat meows]

CLASS ONE STANDARD

[inhales deeply] Well, give it a try then.

[chuckles] Yes.

I'll get you home safely.

-[horns honk] -[laughs]

I was really stressed-out that day,

so I made a fool out of myself. I'm sorry.

Oh, you did not. Don't worry. [chuckles]

And, you know, you're still so young. I think that you're doing all right.

No, I thought you would hate me for acting like that.

[laughs] Jeez.

I don't hate you.

-Look here. -Yes?

With you,

say if you tone down your drinking a bit,

I think that you would make a really good director in the future.

[gasping]

[squealing]

Really?

[exclaiming]

Can you tell me why you think I could become such a great director?

[both laughing]

I knew this would be a good talk, so I prepared something.

Ta-da!

[gibbering excitedly]

[whooshing]

One for you and one for me.

Cheers!

-[exhales] -[sighs deeply]

Now tell me what makes you think I could become a great director?

-Please tell me, eh? -[inhales sharply, exhales]

[rhythmic pop music playing]

[tires squealing]

[tires squealing]

[horn honking]

-[engine revving] -[tires squealing]

[horn honking]

[Mi-ran] What if he lets me drive him home

but still tells me he doesn't want a female lawyer?

He could say that.

Damn it.

-Did you learn martial arts? -Oh, yes. I did learn a little.

-What kind? -[Mi-ran] This and that.

I learned tae kwon do, also judo, aikido, kung fu,

and a bit of boxing and MMA.

You really learned all those?

I've only dabbled in them, never had a black belt.

Ah.

[rhythmic pop music continues]

So why did you learn all those?

It's just my hobby. It's what I like to do.

What do you like? Fighting?

Mm-mmm.

Feeling of victory. It's good.

[engine revving]

Make a right at the second alley over there.

-Huh? -I wanna stop by the store real quick.

Oh. [chuckles] Yeah.

[Kang-ho] Just put a tiny scratch on the van.

[surf rock music playing]

[tires squealing]

[engine revving]

[tires squealing]

[surf rock music continues]

[tires continue squealing]

-Where's the store you wanna go to? -Uh, take a left, over there at the end.

[tires squealing]

[surf rock music continues]

[tires continue squealing]

[Kang-ho] How about it? I bet you can't make it through.

[whistling]

[chuckles softly]

[upbeat rhythmic music playing]

-Yeah! -[Kang-ho exclaims]

Slow down! Slow down!

-[laughing] -[shouting fearfully]

Okay, I'm sorry! I'm sorry, okay?

[continues shouting]

-[Mi-ran] Whoo! -[Kang-ho] I'm sorry!

[shouting fearfully]

[Mi-ran exclaiming]

-Well, we have arrived. -[GPS voice] Ending voice guidance.

By the way, how did you know it was this house?

Eh? Well… well, the navigation said so.

No, what I'm saying is, how did you know it was this very house?

It could be that house or that house there.

Oh, you've seen it.

I have exceptional spatial and distance awareness.

[laughs] Hmm.

Here's your key.

[laughs]

Mmm.

I should go.

Ah, yes. Thank you. Let me call you a cab.

Oh, it… it's fine.

I'll call you one. Just take the cab.

[Mi-ran] Will this really end with me just driving him home?

It will be here in three minutes.

Oh, don't worry about it. I'll catch one from the main road. Have a good night.

Wait.

[suspenseful music playing]

-Yeah? -I've already called it for you.

[gasps] Ah, right.

[crow cawing]

You know, you don't have to wait with me.

[clears throat]

Let's have you handle my cases from now on.

Okay.

-[bell rings, chimes] -What?

You're not even assigned to me, so I feel indebted to send you home… like this.

Oh! Thanks a lot.

I'll do my best!

You can call me anytime you need me. [chuckles]

You already gave this to our boss earlier.

Ah, I sure did!

-Oh my. [laughs] -Congratulations.

-It's a huge deal for you. -Oh, yes. [laughs nervously]

[Mi-ran] Sure, I did. I'm enraptured from gratitude.

You must think being assigned to you is an award.

[blows raspberry]

Just because you succeeded here,

that doesn't mean that you'll become successful.

What?

I'm saying, don't like me too much, you know?

It's not my fault if your heart breaks.

[Mi-ran] Oh my gosh, what a pompous jerk!

Oh my gosh. I wouldn't dream of it. I dare not think about it!

-[baby laughs] -[chuckles]

I'm sure you would end up dating a very young and gorgeous girl. [laughs]

Oh, the cab's here.

-[laughs] Okay, have a good night. -Yeah.

What was that?

I've never met a woman like that.

Yes. Yes. Yes, yes. Yes!

It seems like the beginning of your end is starting now.

[chuckling excitedly]

-[driver] What? -Oh, no, I was just talking to myself.

Mmm. [clears throat]

[Won-jun yawns]

-I'm so tired. [moans] -I thought you came to have a drink.

Are you asleep?

[amusing music playing]

[Won-jun moans]

Oh, your couch is so comfortable.

[sighs]

Mmm.

Which girl tormented you today, Do?

It's nothing like that.

Try as she might, Do Won-jun won't fall for it.

Not even someone as pretty, intelligent, and rich like me can win his heart.

Come again? Hmm?

[laughs]

If we stay single until we're 40, do you wanna get married?

[inhales deeply]

[moans]

[groaning]

Wow, Grace, you really have so much energy.

My goodness, you're still wide-awake at this hour.

There is a reason for this.

-I met Yoo Sung-jun earlier this evening. -The director?

-You're producing that? -Mmm.

-Who's the male lead? -It's undecided. The script just came out.

[gasps]

Hey. Whoa.

You know what? Action-noir is something Kang-ho has always wanted to do.

It's Yoo Sung-jun's film. We'll do it, guaranteed.

[scoffs]

Here.

Take a look and let me know.

-I'll take this straight to Kang-ho, okay? -Okay.

[laughs]

Wow, Grace, thanks so much.

-[laughs] -Hey.

[scoffs]

I wish you cared for me as much as you care for Nam Kang-ho.

[Young-ki] One, two, three, four!

[upbeat pop music playing]

Come out.

[grunts]

♪ Why are you coming out of there? ♪

[grunts]

Hey!

Whoo!

[upbeat pop music continues]

[Jin-suh] Ah, like this.

Ms. Yeo, you should work on upgrading your repertoire for company parties.

All right.

Good.

-All right, it's meeting time, everyone. -[Young-ki] Sir.

Lee Jin-suh! Yeo Mi-ran!

Who said Nam Kang-ho's case could be passed off without my say?

[clears throat]

[clears throat]

[popping]

Uh, I'm sorry. I suddenly had something come up,

and I requested Ms. Yeo's help.

Mr. Nam Kang-ho also approved it.

[Jin-suh] Oh, right.

-I'm asking… how did you get him to agree? -What?

You know that Nam Kang-ho

doesn't normally get along very well with ladies.

Ah!

I was able to drive him home. His road manager suddenly fell ill.

-[all snicker] -To his house?

-That's good timing. -Was that all?

[sighs]

-[Yong-woo] That was all. Be quiet. -[dog whines]

Good job. Well-done. [laughs]

Excellent.

[Won-jun] Hey, I told you to be careful of that woman.

Come on, don't worry. You know me.

I'm gonna put her in her place.

"There must not be a lot of beautiful lawyers like you

where you come from,

but they are a dime a dozen around me."

"So stop trying to hit the jackpot by landing a top star."

"Just live humbly and do honest work."

It's a life lesson. [chuckles]

But why? Wouldn't it be better just to ignore her?

-Or are you interested in her? -[gulps, sighs]

[smacks lips] No, not at all.

What brings you here so early?

Did something happen?

[clears throat]

Here.

What is it?

It's a script. Director Yoo Sung-jun.

Yoo Sung-jun?

[chuckles] I said I'll let them know after you look at the script.

-Are you crazy? Tell them yes right away! -[snickers]

-[laughs] -Tell them I love the script!

Let the director know I'm really excited and I'm dying to meet him.

All right. [chuckles]

-Hey. -Yeah.

Hey. I love you.

-You know that? -Okay.

Hey, no. Stop it! Ah!

[groaning]

[Kang-ho laughing]

-Hold on! Hey! -I love you!

-What? -I thought you were tired of romance.

This isn't romance. It's erotica.

[screaming]

-[laughs maniacally] -Ah! You're crazy!

-Why? What's wrong? -[screams] Seriously, stop it!

What are you… Damn it!

-And you're so freakishly strong! -[laughs]

[Jin-suh] Ms. Yeo.

Yeah?

Up-to-date case log involving Nam Kang-ho.

-Almost all concern women. -[scoffs]

That many, huh? What? Is he some kind of a womanizer?

It's the opposite. He ends up fighting every actress he works with.

And our job is to cover up those disputes. [sighs]

He's kind of an oddball.

He doesn't date anyone.

I think he dislikes women.

-He dislikes women? -Mmm.

-[intriguing music playing] -[wolf howling]

[scoffs] I guess we'll see.

-Maybe just not into adult women. -Huh?

Oh, nothing.

Wow, you nabbed the top two clients from Dowon Entertainment right away.

Nam Kang-ho. Choi Soo-jin.

-[pops] -[Mi-ran chuckles]

That's true. So sad that as soon as you start working,

you're gonna be cannon fodder.

[laughs]

Huh?

How does nabbing the top two clients turn you into cannon fodder?

It means they cause a lot of work and create a lot of trouble along the way.

Lee Jin-suh got booted by Choi Soo-jin.

Nam Kang-ho called his lawyer when his fans fought.

Both of them treat lawyers as if they're their personal servants.

Lee Jin-suh acts like a hotshot out there, but he must have been through a lot.

He was kind of like that at work.

He tries too hard. He ripped his own pants at the work party.

His pants? Whoa. Why?

As a joke.

-[ripping] -He was doing a split, and they ripped!

[gasps]

-Pow! -Pink panty.

-[pencil scratching] -[ripping]

[gasps]

[sighs]

-[breathing rhythmically] -[electronic music playing]

[breathing heavily]

[electronic music continues]

[engine revving]

Sang-sup.

Am I making your life hard?

[intriguing music playing]

What?

[laughs] Not at all.

Not at all?

-I trust you. -Yeah.

Don't get sick.

You'll make me sick too.

Are you studying some new lines?

What? Was that too much? Does it make you sick again?

It's been so long since I saw you this happy, you know?

That makes me feel good too.

Cheesy.

Still love ya.

[chuckles]

[ominous music playing]

[exhales]

[Grace] Welcome, Mr. Nam Kang-ho.

Kang-ho has been going on and on about his dream

of working on a film project with you as the director.

And finally, he got his chance. [laughs]

[Kang-ho laughs awkwardly]

Hmm.

[Won-jun and Kong-ho laugh awkwardly]

Mr. Yoo.

Thank you very much.

For the script. I won't let you down.

[chuckles softly]

[Won-jun and Kong-ho laugh awkwardly]

May I ask,

have you decided on a female lead by any chance?

[clock ticking]

[bell rings]

Uh, well, no. There are a few names we've been floating around.

But the director has not decided on whom yet.

Ah. [chuckles]

[intriguing music continues]

[Sung-jun inhales]

-[clock ticking] -[slide whistle blowing]

[bell rings]

Uh… [laughs] The director's asking

if there's anyone you find uncomfortable to work with.

Huh?

-Oh, uh, that's… [splutters] -Uh, no. I'll be fine.

Uh, sure.

[chuckles]

Yeah, no one like that.

Oh, and having looked at the script, it seems that Kang-ho might need

just a little more action training. It'll be good practice.

So may I know, has the stunt coordinator been decided yet?

[clock ticking]

[bell rings]

Yoo Hyun-sang will be in charge.

-Oh! -Wow.

[laughs] Gosh, seriously! Wow, we can't wait to start working with you.

[laughing]

[both laughing]

[energetic music playing]

[coach] Loosen up!

[grunting]

[grunting]

[panting]

How was that?

Look, here's the thing.

-What now? -You do have good reflexes.

But… you look too sporty.

What our director wants is like that of a gritty back-alley thug.

-If that's what you want, I can do that. -Show me.

Huh?

[breathing heavily]

[howling]

[gasps] Bah!

-Oh, no, no, no. All right. Here. -[howls] Oh, I'm dizzy.

-Let me show you something. -Huh?

-Huh? -[grunts]

-[shouts] -[Kang-ho gasps]

Lightly, you know? Yeah, come on.

[exhales]

Tap.

Tap. [grunts]

Ah!

-[baby toy squeaks] -[exhales]

Looks like it won't be easy to shake that style of yours.

So, what did you mean by "too sporty"?

You didn't train to fight. You trained to stay fit.

He has parents, a brother,

dropped out of SNU,

blood type… B.

"If you know your enemy, you will win the battle."

But he's got no dirt.

DISCORD WITH ACTRESS CHA JI-EUN

[Jin-suh] Doesn't get along with actresses, but crew like him.

It's almost like he's some kind of warrior of justice

who chastises and punishes prima donnas.

[scoffs] Warrior of justice, my ass.

[wolf howling]

[sighs deeply]

[Mi-ran] If only she had worn her uniform,

I could've found out what school she attends.

A stakeout.

There's no other way.

[intriguing music playing]

[camera beeping, clicking]

[sighs] Man, when is he coming home?

-[groans] -[phone vibrating]

Who is this?

-Yes, hello? -[Kang-ho] Hello, this is Nam Kang-ho.

-[gulps] -[gasps] Oh, yes!

[suspenseful music playing]

-[Kang-ho] Where are you right now? -Oh!

Uh… [clears throat] Oh, why?

[Kang-ho] I have something to ask you, but I would rather do it in person.

-Can I see you for a little bit? -Right now?

-If you're home, I'll head that way. -Oh, no, I…

I mean, uh… I'm not at home. I'm actually outside.

Oh, let me see. Oh, yeah, I think I might actually be nearby your house.

You're nearby my house?

I mean, uh, not really close. Like five minutes by taxi?

Okay, then, can I see you at my place?

-If that's okay with you. -Sure, I'll call when I'm outside.

-[phone beeps off] -[sighs]

[engine revving]

[Hyun-sang] Mmm, how can I explain the feeling?

So, you know, it's kinda like

something you learn growing up fighting on the streets.

[grunting]

-[shouts] -[Hyun-sang] Something not traditional?

[sighs] Was it traditional or not?

-[whooshing] -[fans screaming]

[intriguing music playing]

[shouting, grunts]

How am I sensing that from a woman? [scoffs]

[Mi-ran] He'd rather talk to me in person at this hour.

"Let's meet up."

And at his house!

[scoffs]

That's 100% a come-on!

[scoffs] He thinks I'm super easy

just because I confessed my feelings to him.

And I've signed an NDA for the client's privacy.

That'd make me a really easy and safe toy.

Then… I will make things even easier for him, perhaps?

[intriguing music continues]

NEW RECORDING

You really picked the wrong target this time.

-[whistling] -[car lock honks]

[laughs seductively]

You're here sooner than me.

[seductively] Yeah, like I said,

I just happened to be around the corner.

[Mi-ran] And I happen to be a little drunk.

-Well, does that excite you? -[moans]

[intriguing music playing]

-Are you drunk? -Huh?

[sighs]

Then let's talk some other time. Get in. I'll take you home.

Uh… [splutters] Wait a second.

I'm… not drunk.

I was just dozing off while waiting for you.

I didn't even drink.

[intriguing music continues]

[baby toy squeaking]

[breathes heavily]

[blowing]

[Kang-ho] Come on in.

[Mi-ran] Then what on earth are you trying to do with me?

This way.

Have a seat here.

[sighs]

The reason I wanted to see you so soon

is because I'm a bit impatient.

Do you know Director Yoo Sung-jun? The action-noir master?

Yes, of course.

I got on board one of his film projects. [laughs]

I know this may seem perplexing,

but the action scenes in the script kept reminding me of you.

You said you're good at fighting.

-Yes, I do fight well. -Where did you learn to fight?

Well, like I told you the last time,

I did dabble in many things.

[laughs] But the fighting techniques are all self-taught.

In other words, it is nontraditional, right?

I guess, since it's my own style.

May I see that again?

[intriguing music playing]

-Right now? -Uh…

I, um… I just wanna get a better idea of your style.

You asked to see me because you want to see my fight moves?

Yeah.

[Mi-ran] Is he just insane?

Or is it some shenanigans?

Oh, and I also will compensate you accordingly for helping me tonight.

[sighs]

Well…

[inhales sharply]

I don't really think of any set style.

Hmm?

[intriguing music continues]

[Mi-ran] Hmm.

[grunts, breathes heavily]

-[joints cracking] -[moaning]

Oh, I have to stretch to avoid injuries.

[grunts]

Here I go.

[breathing heavily]

Hit the ribs! Hit the ribs!

Slap the face! Slap the face!

Throat strike!

Eyes! Eyes!

Crotch!

[sighs]

[grunting, sighs]

I usually have a partner for this.

When I'm doing this by myself, it just feels a bit…

[laughs awkwardly]

-[gong rings] -[grunts] All right, then, let's go.

Um…

[laughs nervously]

-[baby toy squeaks] -[laughs]

No, no. I don't attack someone standing still. Come at me.

[rock music playing]

-[scoffs] -[bell rings]

[both grunt]

-[growls] -Huh?

[grunts loudly]

[rock music continues]

Is that all?

[chuckles softly]

[exhales deeply]

Here I go.

No one says, "Here I go," when they fight.

Come at me.

[clears throat]

[Kang-ho scoffs]

Huh?

[exhales sharply]

[rock music continues]

[both grunt]

[groans]

[whimpering]

-[groaning] -Are you okay, Kang-ho?

Oh, can I help?

-[Kang-ho sniffling, moaning] -Oh! Oh!

Are you not into me anymore?

What?

[upbeat pop music playing]

[groans]

Are you not into me?

[upbeat pop music continues]
