Original subtitles

Why are you being this way?

It's because I like you.

Sorry?

Ji Young,

go out with me.

What?

If you can't answer me right now,

give it some thought and then make up your mind.

We still have two more meals to enjoy.

Think about it during that time and tell me...

if you'll be my girlfriend.

Until then, I won't pressure you for an answer.

But...

Right, then. I'll give it some thought.

It seems as though I got the green light for now.

Then, accept these.

No, I can't.

I can't accept those right now.

I will when I agree to be your girlfriend.

This outfit you got me is more than enough.

I mean that.

This is exactly why I like you.

Sure. Do that, then.

I'll get going. I'll call you tomorrow.

Sure.

Gosh, these are heavy.

If only you'd soon take these.

Good night.

What just happened?

What the...

Director Ko,

why are you standing there...

like a ghost that lurks around in the night?

You're such a weird one.

My heart almost dropped.

Ji Young.

Didn't this big brother of yours...

tell you not to get a ride from just any guy?

Why are you ignoring what I said?

What did you just say?

What the...

Who are you referring to as my brother?

You're unbelievable.

Starting today, I will be that for you.

It seems as though you need a big brother to protect you.

You're getting a ride from random men...

which worries me.

I'm too flabbergasted to put this in words.

Director Ko,

Mr. Gong isn't some random guy.

He's my boyfriend.

You see,

we agreed to see each other.

What?

Your boyfriend?

I...

If I say I heard everything and that I know she's lying,

it'll tick her off even more...

which will make her call Mr. Gong...

and agree to date him.

Right. Let's hold back.

What? Why are you smiling like that?

Does it seem like I'm lying?

It's the truth.

Mr. Gong officially asked me out today.

Unlike someone who only confuses me,

he is straightforward and manly.

How cool is that?

So I said yes.

Don't date him.

I'm against you seeing him.

Gosh.

Who are you to voice your opinion?

This wasn't put up for a vote.

I don't know why I'm talking...

about my personal life in detail with some guy.

I'll get going.

Don't date Mr. Gong...

and date me instead.

Director Ko.

You said you weren't interested when I said I liked you.

Does it seem like a waste now that I'm dating someone else?

I'm sorry to tell you this, but the ship has already sailed.

Take these flowers though. They're for you.

Forget it.

I'm already dating someone...

and can't accept flowers from other men.

Do Ra,

you said you didn't want to remember your past.

Dating Mr. Gong is too dangerous for you.

What if he also finds out who you are?

Listen to me, will you?

Goodness.

Unbelievable.

What just happened today?

Did both men lose their minds at the same time?

Why are they showing interest in some hillbilly like me?

I don't get it though.

Director Ko put up a steel wall saying there was a reason...

he couldn't like me.

So what got into him?

Is he free...

to like me as he pleases now?

But you should've refused.

How could you...

hop into his car just because he invited you to?

You're both young and single.

You should be careful.

There's a wealthy family...

that wants our Pil Seung to be their son-in-law.

Yes, of course.

Lying to Director Ko about having a boyfriend...

was the right thing to do.

Ms. Kim and Ms. So were clear about their requests.

I can't let his actions sway me.

Ms. Kim lives and breathes for her only son.

I have no right to like him...

when a wealthy family wants him as a son-in-law.

Besides, he changed his mind once...

and already broke my heart after giving me hope.

He's a jerk.

They say a love that is heartbreaking...

isn't love at all.

Jin Ok made the final round.

How did she know she made the final round?

Who knows?

But I think she knows someone at the broadcasting station.

The broadcasting station?

Ji Young,

go out with me.

Right, then. I'll give it some thought.

What do you mean you'll think about it?

Yes?

Can I come in?

Hey, Auntie. Why are you still up?

Oh, right.

I entered...

the screenplay contest at your broadcasting station.

Is that so?

Yes.

And it seems like the finalists were chosen.

Can you find out if I made the cut?

How is that important?

Winning the contest should be your goal.

Even if you make it to the final round,

it won't mean anything unless you win.

Hey.

How could you put it like that?

What I mean...

is that you'll be notified if you win the prize.

Just wait until the notification is made.

How can you be so mean?

You always shoot down my ideas whenever I come to you.

So what if you're a TV series director?

So much for being a family.

Auntie, how does being family matter in this field?

You of all people know that I can't pave the way for you.

If that is how things are done,

children of screenwriters will become screenwriters...

and actors' children will all become actors.

Not even the President's child...

can have a career in this field without having the talent.

You know that.

Hey. As if we don't know that.

But that doesn't mean you can't give her a helping hand.

For over ten years, she has been...

working her butt off to become a screenwriter.

Don't you feel sorry for your aunt?

- Forget it, Mom. - Hey.

- Hey, why... - Goodness.

Mom. Why would you take it out on Pil Seung?

Did he make Myung Dong work her butt off?

- What? - It was her choice.

Come with me, Mom. Let's go.

My goodness.

- Oh, dear. - Go downstairs.

Is scriptwriting that big a deal?

Why is she still trying instead of getting married?

Pil Seung, don't you mind her at all.

Goodness...

- Gosh, Mom. - Let go.

Would he do this...

if he considered us family?

He acts like that because he's a foundling.

Times like this are when that shows.

Mother. You were quiet for a while. Why are you starting up again?

Okay, fine.

I'm so sorry for starting up again. I deserve to die, don't I?

- My goodness. - Geez.

Why don't you say anything when she says that word?

I find it really hard to have to live with her...

when she talks like that.

Do whatever you want.

You say that all the time yourself.

My goodness.

That's unbelievable.

He's upset with me right now?

(Ko Pil Seung)

Good luck, Auntie.

I'm rooting for Ko Myung Dong.

Good morning, Ji Young.

Where are you going?

Get in.

Director Ko.

I have a boyfriend now.

Why would someone's girlfriend get in another man's car?

I won't hitch rides with other guys anymore.

We're done carpooling.

Ji Young.

You already paid me half the bus fare.

Let's at least go the full month.

Do you want to make me an embezzler?

You can consider that a tip.

Buy yourself some rice cakes.

Bye.

What? It's a tip?

What the...

Did you follow me to get on the bus?

What are you doing?

Why say I followed you?

Do you own this bus?

Buses are public transport anyone can take.

I have a right to take a ride.

You were standing next to your car just now.

You got on this bus because I did.

I felt like...

taking the bus to work today.

I usually take the bus, you know.

So don't you mind...

whether I take a bus or the subway.

Goodness. Be careful.

Ji Young.

You just hugged me, didn't you?

What stupid nonsense are you on about?

I didn't hug you.

I only helped you in case you fell...

and got hurt.

I thought you hugged me because you liked me.

Goodness. I shouldn't talk to you at all.

You're the type I should stay well away from.

Ma Ri. I think you were too generous with the presents.

I didn't do anything for you.

You even offered to treat me to a meal here.

I asked you to shop with me, so of course...

I should pay and give you something.

No, don't.

I don't know how much a meal here costs,

but I'll pay for that.

I know my manners.

Grandma. My dad told me...

not to be too frugal when treating a friend to food or gifts.

- I see. - You're my friend.

You listen when I talk,

and you like me a lot.

I like you so much, Grandma.

So don't worry about the cost of today's date.

We're BFs.

"BF?"

Best friends?

You say the sweetest things.

Ma Ri. I feel like you're my friend too.

True friends that go beyond age and family background.

There's nothing wrong with this girl.

Pil Seung's such a fool.

I think she's just adorable.

I'd snatch her up if I were a guy.

Ma Ri.

We might be friends,

but I feel bad to always be on the receiving end.

As a friend, I want to do something for you.

Ma Ri.

Do you want to go on...

a private date with our Pil Seung?

A private date with Pil Seung?

Director Ko.

The revised script is out and there's a problem.

What problem?

The market clothes seller role...

that Ji Young filled in for last time.

What about it?

The writer thought Ji Young did such a good job,

that she included a few scenes for her.

What? That's nonsense.

Why give Ji Young more scenes when she's not even an actor?

I explained the actor we'd hired got sick...

and a crew member stepped in at the last minute.

She said she didn't mind.

It's just a few lines and she wants Ji Young.

I think she loves her.

This is way too sudden.

What is Ms. Kim thinking?

Director Ko. Ji Young did really well last time.

I checked the script and her part isn't that long.

Here.

We can't shoot today if we ask for another revision.

We can't afford another delay.

What's the matter with Ms. Kim?

Why would she revise this?

Who are you?

Hey. Aren't you the lady from the market...

who told us to take our pick?

Yes.

That's me.

Why are you here?

I saw the truth and turned a blind eye...

and it gave me insomnia.

I'm here because I think...

I should tell you the truth if I'm to sleep peacefully again.

What truth?

The woman you were with. Don't let her deceive you.

She's a real dangerous woman.

Everything about her...

is a lie.

What?

Who...

are you?

Cut. Okay.

- Your name is Kim Ji Young? - Yes.

When did you memorize all that when we got the new script today?

You're a true actor. You're amazing.

Why would you flatter me so?

Stop it. I'm getting all embarrassed.

I don't even remember how I did.

You did really well.

You're a genius when it comes to acting.

Did you act in a previous lifetime?

You sucked me in and got all tense.

I think you have the talent to get into acting.

You should learn.

Should I?

You should. You did great.

You were incredible today, Ji Young.

That was awesome. Well done.

Thank you.

Goodness.

Ji Young. You did so well.

Director Ko. Wasn't she great?

Well, that wasn't bad.

Thanks.

"Well, that wasn't bad." Was that a compliment or what?

Couldn't he have made a decent compliment?

Gosh. Why is my heart beating so fast?

My heart is beating out of my chest.

Is acting this much fun?

A country bumpkin like me came to Seoul and even tried acting.

Kim Ji Young, you made it big.

Ji Young.

Ji Young, I think you are a gifted actress.

Did you learn acting?

Learn acting?

I've never done anything like that before.

And you are still that good?

Unbelievable.

But you know what?

Maybe I was an actress in my previous life.

With the lights above me,

as soon as the director gave his cue,

I felt as if the cells in my body started popping like popcorn.

Then I started saying my lines before I knew it.

I was feeling so excited and on cloud nine at the moment...

That's how I felt.

Ji Young, why don't you start studying acting?

What?

That's ridiculous.

How on earth would someone like me study acting?

Only special people can be actors.

That's not true.

It's not like there are people who were born special.

They just become special as they go along.

You know, I've been working only with top actresses...

like Park Do Ra and Cho Bi Bi.

I can tell when someone has what it takes to be a good actor...

with my animal instinct.

You're really talented.

Are you serious?

Yes. You have to trust me.

If you want,

I can find you a good acting school.

Acting school?

(King Acting School)

So this is it.

Is it really okay for a girl like me to study acting?

Director.

Hello. It's me, Baek Mi Ja.

I'm Park Do Ra's mom. You remember me, right?

Director.

I'm Baek Mi Ja, Park Do Ra's mom. Do you remember me?

Yes. Hello.

It's been a long time.

- Have you been doing well? - Yes.

I'm starting a management agency again.

Her name is Do Do.

She's an actress at my agency.

She's a diamond in the rough.

Please take good care of her, sir.

- Okay. - All right.

My goodness. Mr. Jang and Director Hong.

Baek...

(Do Do, DOB October 23, 2001)

After my Do Ra left me like that,

I've been in a living death.

To make a living,

I've done all sorts of jobs.

I was sick and tired of the show business world,

so I didn't want to stick my fingers back in.

But this is all I'm good at.

So I had no choice but to come back.

Thank you, Mr. Jang.

- Mr. Jang. - Yes.

- Director Hong. - Yes.

You know, once I set my mind to it,

I can excel at my job in this field.

I can recognize diamonds in the rough.

And I can turn them into beautiful gems...

and make them top stars.

That's how I made my Do Ra a star.

- Mr. Jang. - Yes.

- Director Hong. - Yes.

Please help me this once.

For my Do Ra's sake.

Oh, dear.

Hey, where's Pil Seung?

He went out to the site with the camera director.

Really?

Sook Ja.

Don't you need a female extra, by any chance?

- A female extra? - Yes.

This is a new actress Park Do Ra's mom is training.

Do you have a minor role that she can play?

Actually, we were...

looking for an actress in her 20s for about 3 scenes.

And I like her face.

You do? I'm glad to hear that.

Let her play the role.

Okay. I'll talk to Director Ko.

Fine. Tell him...

that it's Mr. Jang's favor.

- Okay? - Yes, sir.

- All right. See you. - Yes.

Yes, Director Hong.

Are you serious?

Are you sure Do Do will be on the project?

Yes.

It's a minor role that appears in three scenes. Is that all right?

Of course, it is.

I owe you big time.

I just did as I was told.

Mr. Jang took care of it.

Really? I don't know how I can ever repay your kindness.

By the way, Director Hong, what about the script?

She can't practice without a script.

When can we get one?

We need the main director to approve it first.

You will hear from them soon.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Yes. I'll be waiting.

Yes. Thank you.

My goodness. I can't believe this.

This is so nice.

It's me, Do Do.

You've been cast.

Yes.

So don't do anything silly.

Just make sure to stick to the diet I gave you and exercise.

Don't go out, okay?

If I catch you messing around, you'll be in big trouble. Okay?

Ji Young, I'll see you there.

Bye.

Okay.

Do I look all right today?

(Tae Hee)

It's me, Tae Hee. Yes.

I was going to give you a call.

I guess I'm a little late.

It doesn't matter who calls first.

I know you're busy.

A foreign investor came to visit a few days ago,

so I've been really busy.

I was all over the place.

Really?

I was hoping we could have dinner together.

And watch a movie.

I see.

I'm so sorry,

but I have dinner plans with the investor tonight.

I'm sorry, Tae Hee.

Don't be. I understand your work comes first.

Tae Hee, what about tomorrow?

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Bye.

Hello, ma'am. I'm Tae Hee.

Hey. Welcome, Tae Hee.

This is for you.

It's puer tea.

Jin Dan told me that you liked puer tea.

This is rare.

Really? I love puer tea.

Thanks.

I've always wanted to meet you.

You're beautiful.

Come on. Not anymore.

I was quite good-looking when I was younger.

You still look gorgeous.

I guess he's handsome because he takes after you.

My gosh. Do you really think so?

Of course.

Ma'am, when I date a man, I do care about his looks.

I'm not easily satisfied.

Aren't you sweet, Tae Hee?

By the way, why do you have to wait a year...

when you two are so into each other?

That's exactly what I thought.

But there are a lot of divorces that happen,

so my parents are worried.

They don't want me to make a decision that I might regret.

I guess they have a point.

But I think you guys are old enough to know better.

I'll talk about it with Jin Dan.

Okay. Have some tea.

What? Isn't that Jin Dan?

Who's that girl next to him?

- The person you have reached is... - Gosh, he rejected my call.

That brat.

He told Tae Hee that he had a meeting to attend,

but he was seeing someone else.

That's just wrong.

How can a unit be this spacious and nice?

Anyway, why are we here?

If you like the place, move in.

Me?

Goodness.

You and your silly jokes.

I wasn't joking.

I told you before that I'm fond of you.

I don't want the woman I like...

to live in some dingy unit.

But I don't have the money to live in a place this nice.

The unit is in my name, so move in at any time you want.

How could I live in a unit this nice for free?

What gives me the right?

That's insane.

It isn't.

Being my girlfriend will give you the right.

Sorry?

What I mean is that being my girlfriend...

will have its perks.

That's something to consider while you make up your mind.

- Perks? - Yes.

Goodness me. Forget it.

I'm not shameless enough...

to live in such a big unit all by myself.

Besides, I like where I'm currently staying.

It's small, cozy, and puts me to sleep easily.

The unit is nice, I give you that.

You're Do Ra's substitute.

You'll keep me company in her stead.

We should get going, then.

Why is that nobody playing hard to get, though?

Of course. Hunting is all about the chase.

Sure. We'll film the vacation home scene...

at the place we scouted today.

Right. Great work.

Did Ji Young head home?

Don't tell me...

she went to meet Mr. Gong since work ended early.

Hey, Grandma. It's me.

Yes, I guess I'm done at work today.

What?

You're near the broadcasting station?

Pil Seung.

Ma Ri, just a second.

Come here.

Grandma, what's going on? Why are you with Ma Ri?

You see,

I felt bad for Ma Ri...

that I arranged this today.

What do you mean by that?

What else could I do when she likes you so much?

She calls you a prince...

and says her heart pounds when she thinks about you.

I felt bad for her, so I brought her here.

It's only one meal.

Make her wish come true just this once, Pil Seung.

Grandma,

that doesn't mean you can spring this on me.

I feel bad for her.

Ma Ri isn't like other girls her age.

She's sick.

But she comes by our house all the time...

looking for you, and she can't take her eyes off you.

Besides, she's the daughter...

of your mom's best friend.

Pil Seung,

you'll be blessed one day for being nice to her.

Unbelievable.

I didn't know your grandma had other plans today.

Please don't get the wrong idea.

I only came to see her because she suggested this meal.

I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

I won't, so dig in.

Sure.

Mr. Ko, I want to get to know you better.

Our moms are friends, so let's be friends too.

I don't have many friends...

and would love to have you...

as a friend.

Sure. I'm fond of Ms. Jang,

and she's friends with my mom,

so we should also get along.

To celebrate this day, I'll treat you to today's meal.

That's ridiculous.

I should treat you instead since I'm older.

Really, Pil Seung?

When you call him,

don't call him by his name which makes you sound too young.

Just go with Mr. Ko,

and he'll see you more as a romantic interest.

Sure, think of me as a big brother.

Our moms are friends, right?

It's fine, Mr. Ko.

I'd rather just address you like that.

Is that so?

Do what makes you feel comfortable.

I don't mind it either way.

Sure. Thanks, Mr. Ko.

So you spent time with her and now you're driving her home?

I see.

Her driver said...

she was out with a friend which is what I believed.

Isn't Mr. Park around?

She sent him home.

Anyway, I'm almost there.

I see.

I appreciate you calling me.

Sure.

What on earth?

Do Jun, where are you?

I'm waiting for Ma Ri at the restaurant parking lot.

What? Ma Ri's heading home in someone else's car?

Yes, so don't wait for her and head home.

How did she get in touch with Pil Seung?

She even lied to Do Jun about meeting a friend.

Darn.

What am I going to do about Ma Ri?

Hi.

Hey, Pil Seung.

I hope Ma Ri didn't put you out.

I'm sorry about this.

It's all right.

We grabbed a bite to eat and had a great time.

Mom, I had so much fun with Mr. Ko today.

We went to an arcade together...

and had ice cream together on the street.

I see.

I'll get going, then. Have a good night.

Sure. Drive home safely.

Thanks.

Mr. Ko, until next time!

Sure. Bye, Ms. Ma Ri.

Hold on.

What on earth is this?

You didn't even tell me...

and made him wait for you.

Lied to Do Jun about meeting a friend,

I wanted to get a ride home from Mr. Ko, that's all.

What?

And why do you keep calling him that when he's like a brother to you?

What's wrong with that?

I didn't want him to see me as a young girl,

so I'll be addressing him by his last name.

Only that way will he see me for the grown woman I am.

Is that why?

He treated me like a young lady today...

and not like a baby sister.

Ma Ri, please.

You promised me and your dad that you'd move on from him.

Mom, according to Pil Seung's grandma,

he isn't seeing anyone.

Why should I move on when he's not taken?

Why should I give up?

I'll keep making a move...

- until it works. - What?

Ma Ri.

Why are you both outside?

Dad.

I had a date with Mr. Ko today. It was just the two of us.

You have no idea how much fun I had.

What? What do you mean by that?

Are they still on their date?

How nice would it be for them to go on a few dates...

and end up together?

Hold on. Where are the Korean melons?

- Darn. - Mother.

Mother, I heard you set Ma Ri up with Pil Seung.

Yes, that I did. What about it?

Mother, what is the matter with you?

Why are you causing trouble for everyone?

What?

Soo Yeon was barely able to get Ma Ri to move on,

but she called just now...

saying how upset she was to see Ma Ri hopeful again.

Ma Ri has the biggest crush on Pil Seung.

We even grant wishes for the dead,

so how was it wrong to set them up on a dinner date?

Ma Ri isn't like the girls her age.

And it's a problem...

because she likes him when he doesn't like her back.

Exactly! Your friend should be grateful...

since I set up a dinner date that would've never happened otherwise.

What's your friend's problem?

And she calls herself the mother?

How could she not be considerate of her daughter's feelings?

So heartless!

I'm home.

Gosh, Pil Seung.

I heard you met with Ma Ri today.

I bet it was tough.

Hardly. It was fine.

We had dinner together and talked a bit.

I owe Ms. Jang that much.

I'll head upstairs, then.

Sure, go ahead.

Hey.

Pil Seung just said he was fine.

I'm home.

What's with Mom?

Did you two argue?

You...

Were you aware of it too?

Were you and your mother in this together again?

What are you accusing me of out of the blue? Come on.

Hey!

Hyun Chul doesn't know anything.

What do you mean we colluded?

Also, when your husband comes home at night,

you should ask how his day was...

and if he had dinner!

You have no right to say anything...

even if Hyun Chul ends up cheating on you.

Do you get it?

Why you...

My gosh.

What is it?

Is someone having an affair?

Seriously?

Do Jun!

Ma Ri.

What's up?

Sorry. I wanted to apologize for today.

I'm glad nothing happened to you.

Still,

I'm your driver and also your bodyguard.

If I can't be there to protect you,

there's no point in me staying here.

I said I was sorry.

I won't pull something like this again.

Will you forgive me?

Fine.

If I had told you to go home without me,

you would've insisted on waiting...

and would've told my mom.

That would've ruined my plans which left me with no other choice.

So, did everything go as planned?

Yes, Pil Seung and me...

I mean, this day will go down in history...

as the day Mr. Ko and I had our first date.

The excitement alone will keep me up tonight.

I'm glad to see you're happy.

Gosh.

No way.

Hey, what's going on?

Can I touch your biceps?

No.

Just this once. Come on.

Fine.

Just this once.

Sure.

No way!

Look how firm it is.

Do Jun, that's so cool.

It's really nothing.

Ma Ri must truly be infatuated with Pil Seung.

A meal with him has her on cloud nine.

Honey,

this won't do.

I'll take Ma Ri...

and live in the US for 1 or 2 years.

She'll study art design while she's there.

What do you think?

I can't agree to that.

She had a hard time adjusting in the US.

That's why she had to come back.

It wasn't easy for her to make new friends there.

It wasn't easy for me to be alone here either.

What else can we do?

How can we get her to lose interest in Pil Seung?

Honey.

Don't worry too much.

We'll see how things go.

I'm grateful for what Pil Seung did today.

For having a good time with Ma Ri.

Pil Seung is a fine young man.

The two could end up together.

But even if it doesn't work out,

this process...

could help Ma Ri mature.

Besides,

Ma Ri won't agree to go to the US.

I'll wash up.

Sure.

It's not like Pil Seung is interested in Ma Ri.

After a while, this will only exhaust her.

Ji Young, I treated you to dinner today,

so we still have two dinner dates left.

I should've treated you to the meal today.

I can't believe you got the bill before me.

You won't make up your mind about being my girlfriend,

so I'm desperately trying to buy some time.

Anyway, let me know by the end of our last dinner date.

Although I'd like it more if you got back to me before that.

Sure thing. Get home safely, then.

- Bye. - Bye.

Gosh.

I see he isn't your boyfriend yet.

So why did you lie to me?

You should know that I have already made up my mind.

I'm only taking my time because I want to be sure.

What was that again?

That's right. I'm playing hard to get.

Either way, he isn't officially your boyfriend yet.

Right, we're just flirting.

How's that for an answer?

Anyway, why are you interested in what goes on in my life?

You're being a nuisance.

I didn't think you'd be this way,

but you can be quite unfair.

Me?

What do you mean? I'm not like that.

Then why do you have meals with Mr. Gong...

and not me?

Have three meals with me and then decide.

I don't want to.

I don't want to have meals with you.

Why not?

I have my reasons.

Which is?

You said there was a reason you couldn't like me.

Be honest with me first, and I'll return the favor.

What is it? I bet you can't tell me.

Then don't ask me about what I can't tell you either.

I bet it makes you curious.

It must get on your nerves.

Judging by how you can't tell me...

proves that there wasn't a reason to begin with.

You were testing the waters with me.

But now that I'm dating someone else,

you're poking at me again.

I'm not that gullible, you know.

I know everything that goes on.

So don't test the waters with me again.

This is driving me crazy.

Hey. Who was that woman from earlier?

Who had you smiling?

You even lied to Tae Hee about meeting up with investors.

What woman?

I saw you earlier.

You were on a walk with another girl.

Are you already seeing someone else on the side?

What if your aunt finds out about this?

Jin Dan, you promised to behave.

Aren't you going to marry Tae Hee?

What are you talking about? Of course I'm going to marry her.

Then who was that woman from earlier?

Who is she to me?

Oh, her?

She's an interpreter for foreign buyers.

Is she the reason you're on my case?

Are you sure nothing's going on? Is she really an interpreter?

Yes.

What's going on?

Jin Dan, is something up?

Gosh, no. He played a silly trick on me.

And here I thought something had happened.

You're lucky to have a son like him.

By the way, Tae Hee's family reached out.

Tae Hee wants to bump up the wedding.

- Does she really? - Yes.

She must be fond of our Jin Dan.

Let's get a date set soon.

Are you okay with that too?

Yes, but...

I think we should take the time to get to know each other more.

Why bother with that if you like each other?

Tae Hee's pretty and pleasant and I love her.

Her family's pleased with you too, so good luck with her.

Okay.

Jin Dan. Things are going so well right now.

Don't you dare get in trouble.

I trust in you.

Trust me, Mom.

I'll marry Tae Hee. Don't worry.

Director Ko. There's something I forgot to tell you yesterday.

The male lead's blind date.

They want you to cast her.

It's the station director and Director Hong's request.

Do Do?

I've never heard of her.

(Do Do, DOB October 23, 2001)

She has zero work experience.

Yes, but...

the station director made a special request.

The station director?

Who is she?

(Baek Mi Ja, Baek Entertainment)

Baek Entertainment, Baek Mi Ja?

It's Park Do Ra's mom's new agency.

I guess that's why the station director asked.

Say no.

What?

The male lead goes on this blind date...

after breaking up with his liar girlfriend.

It's the drama's last source of conflict.

It's an important scene,

and I can't use someone with no experience.

Make it clear I said no and find someone else.

Okay.

Do Sik. Hang in there.

I'll get myself settled...

and open you a store, okay?

Mom.

I don't want or expect that at all.

Please, just don't get into trouble.

I'm going out.

Watch out for motorcycles.

Goodness.

I need to get things back on track soon...

for Do Jun and Do Sik's sake.

Why won't they call...

Gosh.

- Director Hong. - Ms. Baek.

I'm so sorry.

I don't think it'll work out this time.

Why not? You said it was as good as done.

Do Do's a great actor.

I just heard back from the team.

It's too important a role for her.

Is it?

Director Hong.

Can you tell me who the director is?

I'll bring Do Do over and see if she can impress him.

Will you do that, then?

You know the guy.

It's Ko Pil Seung, my assistant on "Straightforward Romance."

Who?

Ko Pil Seung?

- Please, Mr. Jang. - Well...

If she can't have that role,

can you find her something else?

There aren't any other roles available.

That was just perfect.

But it won't happen if the director said no.

Ms. Baek.

I'll give you a call if I find something else.

There's always tomorrow.

There isn't. I go down for good if this doesn't work.

I need you to get me that role.

Okay. I'll try again.

Why won't he pick up?

Sook Ja. Is Ko Pil Seung there?

He's not picking up.

What? You don't film today?

Sook Ja. Listen.

The thing I asked about. Is there nothing you can do?

Really?

Okay. Take care.

It's a no.

You know I have a fancy station director title...

and desk and all,

but I'm powerless.

If the drama director says no,

it's a no.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Baek.

How could I live in a unit this nice for free?

What gives me the right?

Being my girlfriend will give you the right.

Then why do you have meals with Mr. Gong...

and not me?

Have three meals with me and then decide.

Don't date him.

I'm against you seeing him.

Yes.

It's not just because of what the director said.

Mr. Gong's a bit iffy.

Does it make sense that I can...

live in that fancy apartment for free?

Grandma said...

nothing in the world's for free.

You pay for everything in the end.

If I were to live there for free,

what else would I have to pay with?

Is being his girlfriend the price?

I might have nothing to my name, but that's wrong.

We don't film today.

Hello?

We don't shoot today. What's the occasion?

Ji Young. I need your help.

Come here, quick. Hurry.

Goodness. What's the matter, Director Ko?

Where are you?

Director Ko!

(Seoul International Garden Show)

What's going on?

What is happening?

What happened to the director?

I've never heard him speak like that.

What disaster is he facing?

Director Ko.

Where are you?

Director Ko!

Ji Young. I'm right here.

Director Ko. What's going on?

Are you okay?

Were you worried about me?

I'm just fine.

What?

Did you...

dupe me and pretend something had happened?

Do you know how concerned I was while I was on the way here?

I thought my heart would shrivel!

Gosh.

Is that how much you care about me?

I'm so touched.

Is this a joke?

Why do you think I went this far?

I wanted to go on a date with you,

but I knew you'd say no if I asked you out.

I had no choice but to lie.

For that, I'm sorry.

Goodness.

Forget it.

Ji Young. Let's go on a date.

At least give me a chance.

You're not dating Mr. Gong.

That means you're not two-timing...

or cheating on him.

You can do this, Ji Young.

Go on a date with Mr. Gong and then with me as well.

And then decide who you wish to be with.

This man is truly a bad man.

He's a bad man who's shaking my world.

Let's go.

Why am I letting this bad man drag me off?

Hello.

What's this?

It's a gift we're handing out to visitors.

Thank you.

It's pretty here, isn't it?

Well, yes. It is pretty.

You need to bow with thanks to the flowers.

If it weren't for them,

I'd have slapped you for lying.

I'm letting it slide because of the pretty flowers.

Thanks, flowers.

You saved me.

Ji Young. Stand here.

We came to such a great place.

We should take a photo as a souvenir.

I guess you have a point.

Could you take a photo of us, please?

- Sure. - Thank you.

Are you ready?

One, two, three.

Director Ko and I...

kind of make a cute couple.

My gosh, Kim Ji Young. Why are you being like this again?

You can't be with Director Ko. Pull yourself together.

Hey.

Ko Myung Dong.

Today is the day, right?

They are announcing the winners of the screenwriting contest today,

right?

What? Hey.

Did you not make the cut again?

Gosh, this is really upsetting.

You must remember that you promised me.

You promised...

you'd quit writing screenplays if you failed again.

You can't change your words after all this time.

You have to give up as you promised, okay?

Fine! Will you please stop?

What are you raising your voice for, by the way?

What?

Congratulations, Auntie Myung Dong.

On what? What are you talking about?

The winners of the screenwriting contest were announced today,

and your name is on the list.

You won the Excellence Award.

What? Are you sure, Pil Seung?

Yes! Okay!

Why? What's the matter?

Mom. I think I won.

- What? Are you serious? - Yes.

My goodness.

Hello?

Yes. This is Ko Myung Dong.

What?

Are you serious?

What?

Thank you. Thank you so much!

Why? What's wrong?

- Mom! My gosh. - What?

- It's true. - What?

They told me to come to the office next Wednesday.

With the necessary documents.

- My gosh. - Mom!

- That's my girl. My dear. - What do I do?

- You're the best. - What's going on, Mother?

- Sun Young. - Yes?

Sun Young, Myung Dong finally won.

Myung Dong is becoming a screenwriter!

- My goodness. Are you serious? - My gosh.

- Sun Young! - That's great.

I can't believe this.

- I'm so happy for you. - You finally did it.

- Mr. Ko. - Yes.

Please train him.

Okay.

Manager Ko Hyun Chul has the highest seniority here.

- Make sure to learn a lot from him. - Yes, sir.

- And work hard. - Yes, sir.

All right.

Cook it evenly like this.

And when it's about 80 percent cooked,

place it on the grill like this.

Excuse me.

One moment.

Hello?

Yes, Mom.

What did you say? Are you sure?

Well...

Excuse me.

Cheers!

- Cheers! - Cheers!

- Congratulations. - My gosh.

How nice.

Congratulations, Myung Dong. You've been through a lot.

Congratulations, Myung Dong. 59:58,900... > 01:00:02,039 I hope you'll become a writer with a lot of great drama series.

Thank you, Sun Young and Hyun Chul.

All right.

- Auntie, this is for you. - My gosh.

- Really? - What's that?

- Gosh, this is nice. - Where are you going?

- I'll go get my phone. - Okay.

Now I can sleep with no worry.

I'm so happy.

Excuse me. Is there anyone in there?

Who's that? Hey.

The voice sounds somewhat familiar.

- What? - Who is this?

Who would that be?

My goodness.

Hello.

- My gosh. - Hello. How are you?

Hey. What are you doing here?

How dare you show up here?

Well, the thing is...

I called Director Ko,

and he wasn't answering my call.

Why would you want to see my Pil Seung?

He has nothing to do with you.

My goodness. Please don't get me wrong.

I just need to talk to him about the actress I'm training.

So I'd like to meet with Director Ko.

Pil Seung, come on down here.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Gosh.

Director Ko, I believe you heard.

I'm here to talk with you about Do Do.

Let's talk somewhere else.

Okay. Sure.

This is for you. It's a roll cake.

There was a famous bakery, so I waited in line to buy this.

Please enjoy it.

Here.

- My goodness. - Please take it.

My gosh.

- Wait. - Hey, Sun Young.

What is going on, by the way?

This is unbelievable.

Director Ko.

I think I have made myself clear.

You can't just show up at my place like this.

I wouldn't have shown up like this if things weren't that bad,

Director Ko.

Please do me a favor this one time.

This isn't about doing you a favor.

She's just not right for the part, so you will have to accept that.

You know what?

After Do Ra left, I even went to jail.

And now I live in a tiny room.

My family got split apart,

so I don't even know where Do Jun is now.

My life had no purpose.

And I can hardly make ends meet.

I was in despair after Do Ra's death.

So I want to train someone to be a great actress like Do Ra.

That's why I'm back in this business.

Director Ko, please help me this once.

Do Do isn't experienced,

but I can make it happen.

You can't just reject her like this.

It's not like we're total strangers.

I'm asking you, Director Ko.

Please do me a favor this one time, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'd like you to leave now.

I checked her profile,

and she's not right for the part.

And please don't show up at my place ever again.

Hey! You jerk!

How dare you treat me like this?

Now that you're successful, are you looking down on me?

You are the reason I ended up like this.

If you didn't hit on Do Ra back then,

things wouldn't have come to this.

You...

Bring my Do Ra back to me, you jerk.

How dare you kick me out when I came all the way here?

Bring my daughter back, you punk!

My goodness. Director Ko.

- I want my daughter back! - What are you doing to him?

- You idiot. - Let go of this first.

- How dare you... - Please stop it.

- Ji Young. Don't do this. - Bring her back.

Let go of it already!

- Stop it, Ji Young! - My gosh.

My goodness.

Gosh.

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

I'm a screenwriter now.

I'll make money and become successful.

So let's start dating again.

I will take care of you.

You don't know who she is.

She's the only daughter of APP Group's chairman.

Then is Director Ko...

going to be the son-in-law of APP Group?

So she's from the rich family that his grandmother talked about.

When I watched your acting, I had this feeling.

You are really talented.

Will you be the first actress at my agency?

Why would you start acting?

Do you want to be an actress?

You should never be an actress, okay?

Ji Young wants to be an actress like Park Do Ra?

What a strange coincidence.

I just want you...

to lead a happy life with no worries like you do now.

I can't lead a happy life...

without pursuing acting now.

Do you understand?
