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.

Why you little...

Move!

You!

How dare you harm an elder?

You country bumpkin. Don't you have parents of your own?

- How dare you? - What do you think you're doing?

She pushed me, you punk.

Get out of my way, you punk.

- Stop it. - You...

Hey!

- Director Ko. - You!

How dare you treat my son this way?

Who do you think you are taking him by the collar?

Get off my property this instant!

- Get lost. - You sly gold-digger.

- Gosh. - Get lost!

- I'll sue you. - Get lost.

- Why you... - This is assault!

- Shut it. - Head inside.

- I'm being assaulted! - Head inside.

- Gosh. - Let go of me.

- Keep it down. - You!

- What on earth is going on? - I'll call the cops.

- Ji Young, stay back. - Call the police.

- What? - I'm being assaulted.

- They all assaulted me. - Get lost!

Hey!

- How dare you cause a scene here? - Unbelievable.

Why do you keep coming here...

when there is only bad blood between us?

By the looks of it,

you seem to have a favor to ask my son.

I can't believe...

you have the audacity to actually ask for one.

Have you forgotten about the grief you caused us?

Never have I come across...

a woman this brazen and shameless before.

No one could beat you at that game.

- Wait. - How shameless can one be?

You're the reason her father died,

so how dare you come to this place?

Honey, don't interact with her. She's not worth it.

- Let's head back inside. - My gosh.

Mom, this is her purse and the roll cake she got us.

Darn it. Take these with you.

Stuff your own face with it.

How dare you come by our house again?

The audacity is unbearable.

Myung Dong, let's head back inside.

Darn you.

Go on.

Ko Pil Seung, you jerk!

How could you do this to me?

My late Do Ra saw all of that from above!

How could you?

How could you of all people do this to me?

What's with that woman?

She must not be right in her head.

Ji Young, you should head inside.

He's right. You should.

Thank you for helping Pil Seung out.

Don't mention it.

How could I not interfere...

when she was snapping at him?

By the way, what favor did she want from you?

Is it because you won't book the actress at her agency?

Yes. I told her why she wasn't a good fit, but...

Anyway, I'll head back inside.

- Sure. - Go ahead.

Unbelievable.

That woman...

used to openly belittle Pil Seung,

so how could she come to him after all these years for a favor?

I'd be too ashamed to even come by this neighborhood.

Tell me about it.

That is one woman I can't understand.

Here's another thing about her.

She's practically the reason her daughter passed away,

but she's back in the business once again.

Darn it.

My gosh.

That bull-headed cow.

Is that ignorant woman the late Park Do Ra's mother?

She used to openly belittle Pil Seung,

so how could she come to him for a favor?

She's practically the reason her daughter passed away,

but she's back in the business once again.

Anyway,

did Director Ko and Park Do Ra like each other,

and that ignorant woman disapproved?

He used to be an assistant director no one cared about.

Now he's insulting me because he's the director in charge?

I bet Ko Pil Seung said no on purpose...

to mess with me.

Because I was nasty to him for dating Do Ra.

Why did you even go there?

What else could I do when this was my only option?

Do you think you can get anything done without bowing?

Do Do's our only actress and we need to...

find her work to make a living ourselves.

The station director and Director Hong said they'd help,

but that punk Ko Pil Seung said no.

I'll become successful somehow...

and crush that fool.

I'll crush him flat.

I can't believe that I...

Put this on your scrapes.

Who did that to your face?

- What? - Put this on.

The country bumpkin did this!

What country bumpkin?

I think she lives in the room...

we used to rent years ago.

I grabbed Pil Seung by the collar...

and she ripped my hands off him.

She had such a strong grasp.

I think I scraped my face when I fell to the ground after.

- Mom. - What?

I'm being dead serious when I say this.

What you're doing is insulting Do Ra's memory.

I know you desperately want the role,

but why go there? That's just wrong.

How dare you harm an elder?

You country bumpkin. Don't you have parents of your own?

- How dare you? - What do you think you're doing?

Mom and daughter didn't recognize each other.

Should I tell Ji Young everything even now?

The truth is...

I had such a hard time because of my mom...

who only thought of me as an ATM.

The truth is I wanted to die today because of my mom.

I can ignore and move on from people I don't know,

but she's my mom.

She's my mom.

My mom.

Yes.

Ji Young is Ji Young.

Ji Young and Ms. Baek...

don't know each other.

Do Ra.

Live on as Kim Ji Young.

Don't ever recover your memory.

Go on...

not knowing a thing.

You're Kim Ji Young.

- Let go, woman! - Darn you!

Who do you think you are taking him by the collar?

Darn it. Take these with you.

Stuff your own face with it.

My gosh.

I can't accept how the losers treated me.

They're worth less than the dirt under my toenails. How dare they?

I'm furious.

Sun Young, what are you cooking?

Are you making yukgaejang?

Yes. Will you taste it for me?

Let's see.

I see you added lots of meat.

The broth is rich and it's spicy. It's lovely.

I'm going to give some to our tenant too.

Yes, that's a good idea.

She's a pretty decent person, isn't she?

See what happened yesterday?

When that witch came over to threaten Pil Seung,

she barged right in and took her out.

She put herself in harm's way to protect her director.

She did.

I went to the store a few days ago...

and asked the owner lady.

She doesn't hitch rides with Pil Seung anymore.

I guess there's nothing between them.

I feel so guilty that I believed...

the store lady and chewed her out last time.

What did you tell her?

I said a rich couple wants Pil Seung to marry their daughter.

That she shouldn't care about him.

You didn't have to put it so strongly.

You must be direct if you want to put someone off.

Nothing good will come from weird rumors.

- You have a point. - I do.

Goodness.

Are you home?

It's the landlady.

I'm home.

Goodness.

- You haven't left for work yet. - No.

Eat this before work.

What's all that?

I was so grateful for what you did,

I made some yukgaejang for you.

I'll leave it here.

You don't have to thank me at all.

Thank you.

Ji Young.

I'm so sorry about what my mother-in-law and I said...

when we came over last time.

What?

I felt terrible after talking to you.

After our talk,

you stopped letting Pil Seung drive you,

and I'm thankful for that.

Pil Seung is my pride and joy.

I hope you understand.

I do.

Don't worry. I'll continue to be careful.

Thank you.

If you're ever out of kimchi,

instead of telling your grandmother, tell me.

I can make you all the kimchi you want.

If you feel uncomfortable in any way, come to me then too.

Thank you.

I'll enjoy the food.

Thanks.

Have it for breakfast.

- I will. - Bye.

Yes.

Director Ko and I can never be.

You darn losers.

You dare look down on Baek Mi Ja?

Here's some trash.

It's all for you.

Keep this. It's just what you deserve.

Have you really lost your mind?

Lady. What are you doing outside our gate?

Why do you keep showing up and ruining what I'm doing?

What rotten luck.

Darn it.

Where do you think you're going?

- Let go. - You can't leave trash here!

- Let me go! - Ms. Kim! Ms. So!

- Come out here! - Let go!

- Let go of me. - You're not going anywhere.

- Who is it? - You're so darn strong. Let go.

- Oh, my goodness. - Gosh.

- Let go. - What's all this?

- Goodness. - Let go!

- Oh, my gosh. - It was her.

This woman turned this place into a landfill.

- She made a mess. - Oh, my goodness.

Let go of me!

How dare you? You!

What do you think you're doing?

You ignorant fools.

You're worth less than my toe dirt...

- and you belittle me? - Gosh.

Pass on a message to Ko Pil Seung.

I won't ever go down.

He should remember his place, okay?

- What? - My arm hurts.

- Why you... - Hey!

Where are you going, gold-digger?

- Mother, don't. - Darn you!

- Leave her alone. - How dare she?

Why bother about someone like that?

What is all this?

- What is this? - Ji Young.

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

Don't touch this.

Go to work. It's fine.

No. I'm not late yet.

It stinks.

I've never seen someone as weird as her.

Yes.

Ko Pil Seung is not the only director there is.

I'll make a comeback somehow.

I'll make our Do Do a huge star...

and crush Pil Seung one day.

Director.

Hello. I'm Baek Mi Ja. Do you remember me?

Ms. Baek. It has been a while.

It has. How come you haven't changed at all?

You're still just as handsome.

Not at all.

I should give you something.

I'm back in the business.

Here's my actress Do Do. Isn't she pretty?

She's charming and young and sweet.

Will you give her a chance?

Sure.

If you don't have plans yet, how about we grab lunch?

Sorry. I have an appointment.

Do you? Let's get lunch some other time, then.

- Sure. - All right.

That jerk.

He used to beat a path to my door...

hoping to cast Do Ra in his new series.

And with Do Ra gone, he's ignoring me now.

What a jerk.

You...

- The trash lady? - What?

What brings you here?

"Trash lady?"

Hey, who do you think you are?

What's your deal? Why are you following me around?

Are you here to harass my Director Ko again?

Is that why you're here?

Unbelievable.

What?

How does a hillbilly like you work at a broadcasting station?

This is just ridiculous.

Stop messing with me and move out of the way.

No. I will never let you go in.

How dare you try to block my way? Will you move over already?

No, I won't.

Now that I'm here,

I will never let you come near Director Ko.

Please leave.

- How dare you country bumpkin... - Just go.

Do you want me to teach you a lesson?

- Move over. - You can't get in.

- Back off! - Please leave.

- Will you stop that? - Did you eat a whole cow or what?

- Move over! - I can't let you go in.

Are you out of your mind?

Come on. What do you think you're doing?

Mr. Jang and Director Hong.

You're the staff member who works with Director Ko.

Why are you doing this to Mr. Baek?

Why are you yelling at her in the lobby with everyone watching?

The thing is,

this lady went to Director Ko and...

Hey.

No. It's nothing.

Nothing.

It's no big deal.

Listen, Ms. Baek.

I never imagined you'd be like that.

How could you visit Director Ko's place and do such a thing?

It would've been nice...

if Director Ko hired your actress.

That way, what we did for you...

would've meant something.

But it's Director Ko...

who has the final say.

I believe you are also...

well aware of that.

Ms. Baek Mi Ja.

You were...

well over the line this time.

It's not like that, Mr. Jang.

When Ko Pil Seung was an assistant director,

he didn't dare to oppose me.

And now that he's a main director, he's looking down on me.

Ms. Baek Mi Ja!

You can't address him like that.

He's Director Ko Pil Seung.

He's a director.

Yes. Sure.

I never thought she'd call me again.

I wonder why she wants to see me.

You're here.

What are you doing? Did something happen?

Something good happened.

I won the screenwriting contest.

What does that mean?

I've finally become a screenwriter after ten years of trying.

I've finally been recognized as a writer.

I see. So you were an aspiring screenwriter.

Yes.

I'm a screenwriter now.

I'll make money and become successful.

So let's start dating again.

I will take care of you.

- But... - There was only one reason...

why we had to break up.

You were broke, and I was an aspiring writer with no money.

We had to break up because we had nothing.

But I'm a screenwriter now.

I will make money.

So we have no reason to break up.

Don't you think so?

Actually,

I thought about you a lot.

"I'll make a lot of money..."

"and call her again."

"And I will ask her out again." This is what I thought.

Are you serious?

Did you really think that?

All right.

Let's give it a shot.

I'll work two or three jobs if I have to.

Okay.

Then why don't we introduce ourselves first?

My name is Ko Myung Dong.

And I'm 40.

Myung Dong.

My name is Park Do Sik.

I'm 33.

What did you say? You're 33?

What?

You're seven years younger than me.

That makes me feel really bad for you.

It's your loss.

I'm too old for you.

What do you mean it's my loss? This isn't a business deal.

What we will be doing...

is love.

Do Sik.

So you and I are only seven years apart.

That means I should...

start calling you Ms. Myung Dong.

No.

I should call you Myung Dong.

Myung Dong.

Gosh, why would you say that?

Myung Dong.

Let's go.

My goodness. I can't believe this.

Oh, dear.

My gosh. That crazy lady.

I washed my hands over and over again,

but they still smell like trash.

Darn it.

By the way,

has she lost her mind or what?

It's us who should be upset...

and bear a grudge against her.

How could she go on a rampage like that?

My goodness. How ignorant she is.

She's so vulgar and shallow.

What?

My gosh.

(Gong Ma Ri)

Hello, my friend Ma Ri.

What's the occasion?

Grandma, I just got a great idea.

Can you help me with that?

A great idea?

What would that be?

I think it's freshly fried.

I know. It's really good.

- Please enjoy it. - Please enjoy it.

- Please enjoy it. - Please enjoy it.

- Thank you. - My pleasure.

Grandma.

Hey, Pil Seung.

Ma Ri.

Pil Seung.

Hello, Mr. Ko.

Oh, right. Hello, everyone.

I'm Director Ko Pil Seung's grandmother.

- Nice to meet you. - Hello.

Please enjoy it.

Grandma, what's all this?

Ma Ri bought 100 fried chickens...

for your staff members.

You're working hard,

so this is no big deal.

You don't have to thank me.

Please have some chicken. Thank you all for your hard work.

Have some drinks too.

Sure. Please come over here and have some chicken.

Before it gets cold.

Hey. It's the tenant lady.

Come here and have some fried chicken.

Come on.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello.

By the way, what's the tenant lady?

She's a tenant renting a room in our house.

And you work with Mr. Ko?

Pardon?

Yes. I'm a staff member here.

Please enjoy it.

Thank you.

She lives with Mr. Ko...

and also works with him.

I'd love to be her.

The girl who got us that fried chicken.

She had on designer clothes and was quite pretty.

But didn't she seem off to you?

You don't know who she is.

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

The accident she was in at a young age...

caused her to grow up while her brain underdeveloped.

Really?

But why was the chairman's daughter here?

Didn't you see how she was?

She kept following Director Ko around...

calling him "Mr. Ko."

Was she here because she has a crush on him?

Yes.

Earlier, I asked her about her relationship...

with Director Ko,

and she said she liked him.

That's why she got us 100 boxes of fried chicken.

No way.

She was with Director Ko's grandmother...

which means the families are already involved.

Goodness.

Then is Director Ko...

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

Yes.

We should get on his good side.

Tell me about it.

- I wonder what he likes. - Who knows?

Ji Young. There's a wealthy family...

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

So she's from the rich family...

that his grandmother talked about.

Pil Seung, I enjoyed the fried chicken.

Oh, right.

Gosh, wait.

I shouldn't call you like that anymore.

Director Ko,

don't forget about me after you marry into APP Group.

I was extremely good to you...

back when you were an assistant director.

Will you launch your own broadcasting station...

after marrying her?

What are you talking about?

She's the daughter of my mom's friend.

There's nothing between us.

Look here, Director Ko.

The daughter of your mom's friend wouldn't have come by...

with 100 boxes of fried chicken for no reason.

But that's how it is.

She's like a sister to me.

It's classic to go from friends to lovers.

Anyway, I hope you'll be good to me as well.

Go, Pil Seung.

What's with everyone?

Stand by!

In 1, 2. Cue.

Get lost!

Cut. Okay, that was great.

You were great.

You too.

How long will it take?

He's so cool.

How can Mr. Ko look so good doing his job?

Chi Chi, that's what worries me.

There are a lot of pretty actresses around him...

and don't get me started on the female staff members.

What was that?

I shouldn't worry since I'm prettier?

Right, I hear you. That's why I call you my sister.

(My prince)

Oh, no. It's Pil Seung.

Pil Seung!

I mean, Mr. Ko.

Really? Right this moment?

I hear things are going well...

between Jin Dan and the daughter of Illyu Foods' CEO.

At first, they wanted to discuss marriage...

after letting them date for about a year.

But they must've taken a liking to Jin Dan...

seeing how they want to meet us.

It'll also serve as a pre-marriage family gathering.

Aren't you well acquainted with the family...

that owns Illyu Foods?

Yes, I set the two up.

Jin Dan should tie the knot,

settle down, and have children...

if I'm to sleep better at night.

I've been meaning...

to talk to you two about his marriage anyway,

so this is good news.

What's there to wait for when it's Illyu Foods?

The families should meet since that's what they want.

Yes, of course.

Say that we'd love to meet them.

Yes, Auntie.

This is great news. Congratulations.

Thanks.

Gosh.

Ma Ri, you'll hurt yourself. Slow down.

What's so urgent?

Mom, how do I look? Dad, what do you think?

Grandma, how do I look?

Ma Ri, you look incredible.

Anyway, are you going somewhere? Are you off to see someone?

Yes, I'm off to see Mr. Ko.

Mr. Ko asked me to meet him.

- I'll get going, then. - Ma Ri.

Do Jun, bring the car around. Hurry.

What... She's off to see Pil Seung?

Were you aware of this?

No, I wasn't.

Why would he want to see her?

My gosh. If Pil Seung asked her to meet him,

it could mean he's showing interest.

Is that so?

I'd love for things to go well between them.

What more could we want if that was actually true?

Jin Dan will marry Tae Hee...

and Ma Ri will marry Pil Seung.

I'd have nothing to worry about.

That's preposterous.

Ma Ri.

Yes, Mr. Ko.

I appreciate you coming by with the fried chicken today.

I enjoyed it with the staff.

Really? Then I'll be back with some more.

No, Ma Ri.

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Please don't come by my workplace again.

To be honest, things were uncomfortable for me.

Why?

You said everyone enjoyed the fried chicken.

Ma Ri.

I told you before...

that I liked someone else.

But you came by my workplace...

and told people...

that we were more than friends.

Well, that's...

I didn't mean to say that,

but one of the staff members asked how we knew each other...

and what we were to one another.

So I guess I told her...

that I liked you.

But I only told about three people.

That's why I asked to see you today.

To put a stop to this.

If this is how it's going to be,

I won't be able to consider you even as a sister.

My goodness. No, Mr. Ko.

I mean, Pil Seung.

I'll be more careful from now on.

I won't do anything like it again.

I'll put my trust in you and get going.

It seems as though your driver brought you here,

so get home safely.

Ma Ri, what's wrong?

Do Jun, Pil Seung...

must hate me.

Is that what he said?

No, he didn't actually say those words,

but he lied about having a girlfriend,

and told me not to come by his workplace...

with fried chicken again.

He refused to see me if I did.

That's him telling me that he hates me.

Was it so wrong of me...

to go by his workplace with fried chicken?

It's all right.

Why on earth did you go by the broadcasting station?

Why would you even go there?

Why won't you listen to me?

Did Do Jun tell you?

Did Do Jun tell you where I was?

Park Do Jun, you have another thing coming.

Get up.

Why are you being a nuisance to so many people?

Pil Seung isn't interested in you.

It's rude to pursue someone when they don't want you to.

In some ways, it's a violent act.

Honey, why would you put it like that?

A violent act?

How am I wrong?

By pursuing someone who isn't interested,

you're inflicting grief on that person.

Ma Ri should know how things work in this world.

Gong Ma Ri.

What you're doing is bad. Do you get that?

Honey.

Ma Ri, what can you do?

As for me,

I would like for you to stop liking him.

I don't want...

to see you brokenhearted.

Whatever. Just leave.

What? Who could be knocking?

Sure. Come on in.

Grandma.

Hey, Pil Seung. It's you.

Grandma.

Why did you do that today?

You shouldn't have brought Ma Ri to my workplace.

You put me in a bad spot at work.

People think that I'll date Ma Ri...

and marry her.

Well...

Is that so?

But don't you think...

that kind of a rumor is beneficial to you?

Not everyone gets to marry into APP Group.

Even if you don't marry Ma Ri,

a rumor like that will only feed your ego.

It will only make you look better.

Grandma,

what on earth are you talking about?

I'm asking you.

Please don't do anything like this again.

What?

Mother!

Why would you take Ma Ri to Pil Seung's workplace?

How would that make Pil Seung look?

Mother, how can you be that inconsiderate?

Come on.

She served not 10, but 100 boxes of fried chicken...

at Pil Seung's workplace to make him look good,

but rather than thanking us...

I can't believe you both.

Why are you on my case about this?

Mother.

Please don't take advantage of Ma Ri anymore.

- You know she isn't well. - What?

Mother, this is wrong.

My goodness.

What on earth?

What did she just say to me?

Did she accuse me of taking advantage of Ma Ri?

Sun Young! Ma Ri's my friend.

Why did you want to see me at this late hour?

Ji Young, have you had dinner?

Of course.

The fried chicken your rich girlfriend got us.

I brought some home and had it for dinner.

Thanks to her, I saved money.

She isn't my girlfriend. There's nothing between us.

Please, Ji Young. Don't get the wrong idea.

Why would she come by with 100 boxes of fried chicken...

when there's nothing between you two?

How does that make sense?

Ji Young, please listen to me.

My mom has a best friend whose name is Ms. Jang.

Ma Ri's her daughter.

She's the daughter of my mom's friend.

Ms. Jang has been good to me since I was a kid...

which is why I was nice to Ma Ri.

Anyway, what I mean is that...

Director Ko.

Why are you explaining this to me?

It's not like there's anything between us.

If you're only going to talk nonsense,

I'd rather head home.

I wouldn't mind if my brother married into a rich family.

Ji Young, that's not the case. You have to believe me.

Sure thing.

What? You...

They say you meet your enemies at the worst place and time.

You country bumpkin.

I'm actually glad to see you.

Lady, what's your problem?

You...

Rather than minding your own business,

you humiliated me.

Because of you, I can't show my face at broadcasting stations anymore.

- You! - Let go of me.

Let go!

Are your bones made of steel? Gosh, you're strong.

- Ms. Baek. - How dare you come at me like this?

Who are you to grab my hair like that?

Touch me again...

and I'll make you pay.

Watch it, lady.

- My gosh. - Do you hear me?

That... You arrogant brat.

Ms. Baek.

Who is she and what's her problem?

My gosh.

Do Do, there's no need for you to know about that stupid girl.

Don't interact with her.

If you get in a fight with her,

you'll hurt your pretty face.

Don't mind her at all.

That dimbo.

Creator of mankind.

Why did you save me?

What does this mean?

Please tell me what you meant.

The creator saved my life.

I was the chosen one after all.

I was the chosen one.

So I come before vermin like them.

I'm the priority.

I come first!

The country bumpkin isn't too bad.

Why do I feel like I've seen her before?

Where though?

Jae Dong. I heard wrong, didn't I?

What did you just propose?

Ji Young.

I started off with nothing but survived ten years in this field...

all while going through hell and high water.

And now, I will do it right by starting my own agency.

My contract with Bi Bi ends this week.

Will you be the first actress at my agency?

Jae Dong, please don't crack jokes like that.

I've only been studying theater for two weeks now.

I know nothing about acting.

So how could I possibly sign with an agency?

Ji Young, I've seen many at work in this field...

from rookies to A-list actors.

When I say someone's going to make it,

that person almost always makes it.

When I watched your acting, I had this feeling.

You are really talented.

So please sign with my agency.

I'll work hard to support you in any way I can.

You're being ridiculous.

How about this, then?

We'll come up with a number that'll reduce both our risks.

What do you say to 50-50?

Did you say 50-50?

How could I accept that much?

You take 90 percent.

I'm good with just ten percent.

Ji Young, that'll get you in trouble!

That kind of a deal should never be made.

Even if you don't work with me,

never accept a deal that is one-sided.

Don't be like that and sign with my agency instead.

But I know nothing about acting.

This is my first time managing my own agency.

Together, we'll build from scratch.

Sure. I got it.

We'll build from scratch.

So you'll be the first actor to sign with my agency?

Yes.

Okay!

Jae Dong, it's an honor.

Thank you so much.

Thank you for acknowledging my talent.

Ji Young, I'm the one who's grateful.

Mr. Lee, Ms. Kim.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable at our station.

Why are you two hugging?

Director Ko!

Director Ko, here you go.

Popcorn Entertainment?

Yes, it's my talent agency.

Allow me to make a formal introduction.

This is Kim Ji Young,

the first actor to sign with Popcorn Entertainment.

Please be fond of her.

Please be fond of me.

Why would you start acting?

Do you want to be an actress?

What's the matter with you?

I'm the one who should be asking that.

Whether I take up acting, singing, or dancing...

is none of your business.

Ji Young.

Being in a few scenes must've gone to your head.

Acting isn't a job for just anyone.

You should never be an actress, okay?

What?

You look down on me, don't you?

A girl from the country with no degree wants to act,

so you're putting me down in my face because you think that little of me.

No, Ji Young. I don't look down on you.

Ji Young.

The path of an actor is rough and dangerous.

I'm worried about you.

You can't even imagine how stressful it is...

to be in the public eye.

Nobody cares about an ordinary person's mistake,

but if an actress does the same,

the whole world is ready to stone her.

Why choose that tough life?

Study something else. I'll help you.

Director Ko.

I decide what to do with my life.

I love it so much when I'm acting.

I feel so happy I wonder if I'm allowed to feel that way.

So don't tell me what to do anymore.

I just...

want you to lead...

a happy life with no worries...

like you do now.

You know, I just found my path.

I don't think I can...

lead a happy life if I don't act.

I can't lead a happy life without pursuing acting now.

Do you understand?

Fine, then.

I'll explain in more detail over dinner.

Let's discuss this.

You can have dinner with your rich heiress girlfriend.

I have plans.

How many times must I explain that?

We're not dating!

What's he saying?

(Script-reading Room)

This is madness.

Mr. Gong. We're having dinner today.

We're down to one meal, right?

Ji Young.

Do you want to be over and done with our dinners?

Gosh. That hurts.

Not at all. That's not what I meant.

I should pay you back for your suit sooner than later.

You can't really relax until your debts are paid off.

This is our second to last dinner.

Are you still trying to decide whether to date me?

I can't wait until you're my girlfriend.

Oh, that?

Should I tell him right now...

I can't be his girlfriend?

No.

I have to see him once more.

How am I to face him then if I reject him today?

Yes. It would be best to tell him...

at our last dinner.

On the last day.

Are you...

still thinking?

We have one more dinner to go.

I'll think about it and tell you then.

Well, okay.

I promised not to push you.

Hey, Ji Young.

Shall we go to Chuncheon tomorrow for some air?

And spicy stir-fried chicken.

My treat.

Tomorrow?

I'm not free on weekends.

I take acting classes.

You're taking acting classes?

Yes. I happened to play a minor role in the drama,

and it was so much fun I decided to learn.

I want to be an actress later on.

I'm dreaming too big, aren't I?

Why would you say you're dreaming too big?

We should do what we want in life...

to be happy.

Do you really think so?

I do.

Ji Young. If you ever...

need help with acting lessons, come to me.

I'll do anything you want.

Thanks so much for saying that even if you don't mean it.

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

What a strange coincidence.

Or is this a new shot at destiny?

(Actress Park Do Ra Sang at Nightclubs as a Minor)

I had such a hard time.

Of course, it's for the money.

What can love do for me?

(Breaking news: Actress Park Do Ra died)

(Park Do Ra allegedly committed suicide)

Ji Young can't act.

She can do anything...

but become an actor.

Ji Young.

What?

Ji Young.

I beg of you.

Can you please not...

get into acting?

Were you waiting here for me to say that?

I don't want to be a huge star.

I just want to act because I enjoy it.

Being an actress isn't just about acting.

There are so many things you must bear with.

I'm worried you'll end up getting hurt if you act.

I don't want you to suffer.

Don't say such silly things.

Do as you're told and don't do it!

Just how painful that career is...

How much more must I explain?

When you said you liked me,

you lied, didn't you?

What?

If you like someone,

you root for and support them...

as they dream and make choices.

You don't just get in the way.

I don't think you like me at all.

So don't say stuff like this to me anymore.

I have nothing to do with you now.

Mr. Jang.

What are you doing here?

I came to introduce Do Do to you.

Do Do, say hello.

He heads drama production.

- Hello. - It's nice to meet you.

Do Do, not anyone gets to meet him.

You should be honored.

Ms. Baek, I have a meeting.

- Next time. - Mr. Jang.

My goodness.

Fancy seeing you two directors here.

This is Do Do. I gave you her resume.

Say hello.

Hello, I'm Do Do. I hope we can work together.

Oh... Hello.

I'm expecting a visitor.

- Director Hong. - I have a meeting.

Director Jung.

What did Pil Seung say about me...

that everyone avoids me like the plague?

What should I do about that punk?

Let's keep trying.

Director, I have bad news.

Ms. Kim's furious...

you cut Ji Young's scene.

She's on her way here to see you.

What?

I get it if she's angry, but why come here over that...

when she has scripts to write?

I think you should hide.

Hurry.

Why should I hide?

I didn't do anything wrong.

Director Ko!

Where are you, Director Ko?

Director Ko Pil Seung!

Ms. Kim. I'm right here.

You must be stressed out with the scripts.

Why did you come all the way here?

You're asking me why I'm here?

Do you not know why I'm here...

when I can't afford to waste a second?

How could you?

Let's not get too worked up.

The storyline made no sense.

How could a market store owner become the lead's sister?

It's a drama.

Our viewers aren't stupid.

This won't work.

Fine, then. I get it.

If you want to do what you want with the storyline,

you can write the last episode.

You be the scriptwriter too.

I won't write another line. It's up to you.

Ms. Kim!

Why is the writer so angry?

This is all because of you, Ji Young.

What? Me?

Why? Did I do something wrong?

It's not like that.

Ms. Kim must've liked it a lot when she watched your acting.

She said she was inspired by your acting.

So you turned...

into the lead's sister in Episode 15.

Me?

But how could a market store owner...

become the lead's sister?

The lead suffers from amnesia.

So you will play a key role...

where you reveal all the truth about the female lead at the end.

And Director Ko got rid of all your scenes...

without talking to Ms. Kim.

That's why Ms. Kim got upset and came all the way here.

What if she really doesn't write the last episode?

So are you saying Director Ko...

got rid of all my scenes...

that Ms. Kim had put a lot of effort into?

What's the matter, Ji Young?

Director Ko, is this about me?

How could you do such a thing just because of me?

Even if you hate me,

you can't mix business with your personal matters.

How could you change the script...

with her blood and sweat?

She must've had her reasons to write all that.

Ms. Kim Ji Young.

What are you talking about?

That's right. I don't want you to be an actress.

But I would never do such a thing because of you.

I just did it because I didn't want the drama...

to be ruined with some stupid character.

Our drama is about to be spoiled because of the character now.

Is he saying that the drama is about to be spoiled...

because of the character I'm playing?

I don't think the writer wrote that to spoil the drama.

No. This is about me.

He's trying to stop me from becoming an actress.

Yes, Ms. Kim. Did you arrive home okay?

Wasn't the traffic bad?

Director Ko.

Are you calling to ask me about the traffic?

No.

Ms. Kim, I just read the script again.

I guess I misunderstood your intention.

We will shoot the scenes right away.

So could you please get us the script for Episode 16 on time?

Thank you, Ms. Kim.

Please keep up the good work until the end.

Okay. Bye.

Fine. Let's just do the scenes.

I'll do it if I have to.

I'm...

I'm really sorry.

Had I known that you were my sister,

I wouldn't have revealed your lies.

It's all my fault.

I'm so sorry.

Please wake up now.

Please wake up.

Wake up.

- Aren't you going to cut it? - Wake up.

Cut.

Wake up.

Stop crying.

Director Ko, Ji Young is unbelievable.

I bet she was an actress in her previous life.

It made me cry too.

Stop crying.

Ms. Baek Mi Ja!

You can't address him like that.

He's Director Ko Pil Seung.

He's a director.

Ms. Baek, I have a meeting.

- Next time. - Mr. Jang.

I'm expecting a visitor.

My gosh.

I didn't know Ko Pil Seung could be so influential.

What if no one at the broadcasting station...

wants to hire Do Do because of him?

They say, if you want to eat the fruit,

you must climb the tree.

This isn't a matter of pride now.

If I want to survive, I have no choice.

That's right. Fine.

Honey, we're almost there.

My place is over there.

Really?

This neighborhood looks somewhat familiar.

Let's go. I'll walk you home.

You don't have to. It's right over there.

Still, you should go in first.

I'll go home after you go in.

No, you should go first.

I want to see you leave.

No, you go in ahead.

Gosh, I'm so shy.

Oh, dear. This is so embarrassing.

What? Isn't that Myung Dong?

Hey, Myung Dong.

My goodness.

Hey, you... My gosh. Maybe I shouldn't have called you.

Mom.

- Gosh. - Mom?

I should've brought some fruit.

Seriously, there's no need.

We don't need anything like that.

You can just come in for some tea.

How would I let you just leave when you came all the way here?

You can drop the formalities when you meet your girlfriend's family.

But still...

Just go in.

No one can stop my mom.

Hang on.

I think this is the house from back then.

- What's happening? - Oh, dear. Seriously.

I told you it was okay.

Just make yourself comfortable.

Once you become my son-in-law,

you'll come here all the time.

What makes you so uncomfortable?

- Come on. - Gosh.

Myung Dong, come on in.

Okay.

Is he Myung Dong's boyfriend?

Ms. So seems so pleased.

- Yes. - Come here.

Hey, Sun Young.

Hurry and make some tea.

I'll get some fruit.

Hurry.

You fools. 59:58,570... > 01:00:01,340 Why is this all we have?

Do you want me to go buy some?

I should get some fancy fruit like melons and apple mangoes.

Hey, it will take too long.

He kept refusing to come in, so it was hard to get him in here.

We have no other choice.

You should wash the grapes.

I'll peel the apple.

- By the way, Mother, - Yes.

How long have they been dating?

I think he's the guy who got her a ring...

with the big diamond the other day.

- Really? - Yes.

But I've never seen her wear the diamond ring.

The diamond is too big,

so he was going to have it reset.

Then they broke up for a while.

Really?

Why did they break up while the ring was being reset?

- My point, exactly. - My gosh.

By the way, hey,

if he can get her a ring with such a big diamond,

that means he's really rich.

Mom, are you sure it's the same guy?

What? Yes, I think it's him.

Hey, things are going so well for Myung Dong now.

She became a screenwriter,

and now she's dating a decent guy.

I know.

You're right. He must be the one for her.

- I know. - I'm so happy for her.

Mom, but he looks...

a lot younger than Myung Dong, right?

You're right. I guess he's younger than her.

You know what? Myung Dong actually looks...

young for her age.

My gosh.

I shouldn't have been so harsh on Myung Dong before.

I didn't know she would find...

the right guy for her like this.

Please, Mother.

That's how good she is.

I know.

Come on, lady.

How could you bring a family with three kids?

Then is Myung Dong Dae Chung's aunt?

What now?

Am I supposed to tell them that I'm Do Ra's brother?

Darn it.

Honey, what's wrong?

Don't be nervous.

Well...

- It's not that. I'm... - Goodness.

- Come on out. - Sure.

No, please stay seated.

- But... - Make yourself at home.

- Right. - All right.

- Here you go. - Pass the fruit.

Give me those as well.

Gosh, we made you wait, didn't we?

Pass me those along with the forks.

All right.

Goodness. We didn't have a lot to serve...

with this being all too sudden.

Have some fruit. Go ahead.

Thank you.

Right.

So how old are you?

Right. Do Sik...

is seven years younger than me.

- What? - Seven years?

Gosh, that's nothing.

As if age is a problem these days.

I saw on the news recently...

that we live in a time...

where age barriers have been broken down.

You're right.

What do you do for a living?

Well, I...

I'm a freelancer.

- I see. - A freelancer?

What on earth is a freelancer?

Mom, it's a good thing.

I've always thought that freelancers are cool.

I see.

- Myung Dong. - Yes?

Isn't he the guy...

who once gave you the diamond ring?

What? Yes.

Will you stop it?

Goodness me.

I can't believe Myung Dong snagged a rich boy.

Are you home?

Are you home?

Wait. Whose voice is that?

Isn't that the darn witch?

- Honey. - Why is she here at this hour?

- I'll head out there. - My gosh.

- How dare she... - Don't mind us.

- What... - Gosh, hello.

The door was open. Goodness me.

I came by to apologize.

The last time I was here, I was too upset...

that I wronged you in the worst way possible.

I'm terribly sorry.

By the way, is Director Ko home from work?

- Mom? - What?

Do Sik, why are you here?

What?

Mom? Who's your mom?

Is she your mom?

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

But I really want to marry Mr. Ko.

Could there be a way?

Yes, that's it.

That way, I could marry him.

I'm sorry to ask, but is Ma Ri at your place?

Ma Ri's gone missing?

Here's a script. Get practicing right away.

You have an audition tomorrow.

If I become an actor,

will that cause a great deal of loss for you?

Ji Young, you know.

You know how Park Do Ra died.

Nothing will bring me down.

I'm Kim Ji Young, not Park Do Ra.
