01x04 - Episode 4

[bunniefuu]

I heard you've mostly worked with actors.

Could you tell me who?

I'm afraid not.

Client confidentiality, you know.

Right, of course.

As I said, you'll be working set hours.

How about you start at 9 a.m.?

I'd like to look at a few more places

and think it over first.

I tend to be quite picky

when it comes to working conditions.

Goodbye. I'll be in touch.

Why is hiring a nanny so difficult?

They say the stars have to align for you

to find a good nanny.

My goodness.

Have you had a look

at the synopsis I sent you?

I skimmed through it, but I'm not sure.

You can't delay your career any longer.

I want to get back to work too.

I get more anxious as time goes by.

Are there any action productions like

My Name available right now?

We should pick something

simple and popular instead.

You said you wanted to become

more famous in Korea.

They know you in the US because of

The Avengers, but not in Korea.

You need a role

that everyone remembers you by.

The best way to become popular in Korea

is to play a character

that's approachable and relatable.

Like a girl next door.

What about a girl next door

who can also kick a*s?

I don't want them to think

I've gotten lazy after having a child.

I think I just need to

stick to what I do best

for people to start recognizing me.

Plus, niche genres are

in fashion these days.

It's going to be tough doing

action scenes after giving birth.

Not at all. I'm already back in shape.

Take a look.

And it'll take too long to prepare.

You don't even have a nanny yet.

Gosh, I'll find someone as soon as I can.

If you find a really good action film,

I can start right away.

What do you say?

Please?

-Mr. Kim!

-Yes?

I got some new headshots taken.

Can you take a look?

Right now?

If you're busy, it can wait.

No, it's okay. I'll take a look.

Great. I just did

what the photographer told me to do.

I'm worried they look a bit awkward.

Headshots can make or break new actors.

They have to be eye-catching…

and impactful.

Is it that bad? Should I take some more?

No, it looks amazing.

You look so natural.

I like your smile.

You look adorable.

You look a little stuck-up and stubborn,

but it also captures

your childlike innocence.

This is just perfect.

You look gorgeous.

I'll use the first three

as your profile photos.

Okay. Thank you.

This is Method Entertainment.

Having fun raising false hopes?

I don't know what you mean.

She's a diamond in the rough.

Then why hasn't anyone cast her already?

We've had countless directors visit us.

She's now going after

an agent to become a star.

-I applaud her effort.

-You're wrong.

I was the one

who asked her to sign with me.

Will the data I requested be ready

by the end of this week?

Sure, if you say so.

They now call him "the Vacuum."

He doesn't miss

even the smallest speck of dirt.

He's just doing his job properly.

Just mind your own business.

"Lee Sang-uk."

Lee Sang-uk…

There you are.

#EXERCISELOG

#WORKOUTOFTHEDAY #CLIMBING

Oh, my gosh.

INDOOR CLIMBING BECAUSE

THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS BAD

Show mama what you're made of.

What do you want?

Don't mind me.

Let's see.

Where did I put it?

What are you looking for?

A pain-relief patch.

Mr. Wang used to keep some in here

for his sore muscles.

I went rock climbing

for the first time in forever,

and now I'm sore all over.

Do you like rock climbing?

I love it.

You know how your whole body aches

when you take off your clothes

after rock climbing, right?

Then you step into a hot shower,

and it just feels heavenly.

Someone at my workplace

is also mad about rock climbing.

We share the same name.

I'm not that into climbing.

Why bother when you're

just going to come back down?

It's become quite chilly.

I'll leave you to it then.

MANAGER CHUN JANE

EXPENSE REPOR

Take a seat.

It's going to be a hit.

See? I told you it was amazing.

I heard it was highly sought after.

I can see why.

We're talking with Netflix

and Disney at the moment, but…

-I have to take this. May I?

-No problem.

Excuse me.

Casting's almost over, right?

Yes, for the lead roles at least.

Who's the lead actor?

Her name is Choi Hui-jin.

She exclusively performed on the stage,

so you wouldn't know her.

Bringing in new talent can be fun,

though it has its risks.

It seems the lead actress

will be in a lot of action scenes,

be charmingly intelligent,

and also speak fluent English.

What's the matter?

Someone just sprang to mind.

Who?

Soo-hyun. You know her, right?

Kim Soo-hyun from My Love from the Star?

But he's a man.

Soo-hyun, the actress from the Avengers.

That Soo-hyun? I do know her.

But is she in Korea?

Of course.

She's looking for new work in Korea.

I thought she was

only doing American projects.

Right, she had a child.

So she is in Korea.

She's also a big fan of yours.

I bet she's seen all of your films.

Really?

It's about a former CIA agent

who becomes a k*ller for hire in Korea.

It also has elements of comedy

and a lot of emotional scenes.

This is just what I was looking for.

Why didn't you show me this sooner?

I only got it just recently.

The director apparently

had you in mind all along.

-Really?

-Yes.

This will be a turning point

in your career.

Show the Korean audience

what you're made of.

Okay.

-You haven't found a nanny yet?

-I did.

Something came up,

so she couldn't make it.

Don't worry. She'll be here tomorrow.

Can you make the meeting tomorrow then?

Of course. No problem.

I was wondering if you've had a look

at Ms. Kang Hee-sun's profile.

Her profile.

It's Kang, not Jang. It's Kang Hee-sun.

Don't you have her profile?

It's Kang.

What's wrong with being 171cm tall?

Have the co-star wear thick insoles.

Or she can do it barefoot.

Yes, she has perfect, straight teeth.

What makes you think

a sl*ve can't have straight teeth?

That's your prejudice talking.

What about the courtesan role?

You think she looks too exotic for it?

Okay.

Everyone is in love with you.

Then how come no one wants me to audition?

That's how it is at the beginning

of any actor's career.

Guess how many times

Yeo-jeong got turned down.

She got turned down too?

You bet.

Half of an actor's job is waiting.

Those who can wait patiently

succeed in the end.

But I've already waited years.

Don't worry too much.

Someone is bound to see your worth

sooner or later.

Like I did.

I sent you the revised script.

You can find some of

the director's previous films on Netflix.

Fine. If you don't have time,

at least check out some reviews.

Anyway, I'm in a meeting right now.

I'll call you back. Bye.

Sorry about that.

Something came up at work.

That was Tae-ja's go-to excuse

when he was cheating on me.

I recently got a call from his mistress.

She asked if she had

any share in the company

while making a lame attempt

to fake morning sickness.

Someone offered to buy the company

for a fairly high price.

They must not know

there's a tax investigation going on.

Would they still want to

when the company's in shambles?

You don't have to worry about that.

The company is well enough

to survive some fines.

Could you tell me who wants to buy it?

New Shaolu Entertainment.

You've heard of them, right?

They're called

the SM Entertainment of China.

They promised to retain

the four top-level agents including you.

To keep them interested,

the tax investigation

will have to go well.

Employment retention, my a*s.

We'll be fired as soon as they take over.

We need to do something.

Like what?

What?

Well…

We could go to the press

about our clients being bought by China.

Why not just advertise we're screwed?

We'll lose all our clients.

The tax investigation

is already bad enough,

but it's chaos both inside

and outside the company.

Have you considered my offer?

I trust you'll make the right choice.

Make sure this doesn't affect

our clients negatively.

Also, let's look for Korean investors

who share our vision.

With discretion.

Will any investors be interested,

knowing a tax investigation is underway?

The investigation will pass eventually.

Method is stronger than that.

It was you who called

the National Tax Service.

I looked into it since something felt off.

Apparently, the rumor about

Mr. Wang's tax evasion

began in Method Entertainment

and not Star Media.

And what makes you think it was me?

Jung-don is too much of a coward

to do such a thing.

Method is everything to Ms. Jang,

so it couldn't have been her.

That leaves you and me,

and it wasn't me.

It wasn't me either.

I'm screwed if Method goes under.

So why would I do that?

You're being absurd.

Word has already spread everywhere.

I met Min-ju today,

and that's what she told me.

You know her, right?

A director at Dragon Studio.

I do.

She said that?

That Method was being bought

by a Chinese company?

Yes, she said everyone knows it.

Did you hear any other rumors?

Other rumors? Like what?

Never mind.

Just a second.

With Mr. Wang gone and the company

being bought by a Chinese company,

are you going to stay there?

Didn't you get an offer from Star Media?

If I join a rival company now,

I'll be turning my back on everyone.

Once labeled as a traitor,

I won't be able to work in this field.

Are you sure

this isn't about your colleagues?

Eun-gyul says he'll be home late

and we should eat without him.

He's been coming home late recently.

Something is fishy.

Right.

You know, the new agent at your work.

Was it So Hyun-joo?

What is she like?

Is she nice?

Is she good at her job?

Well, I don't know.

Why not? You must see her every day.

We don't work together much.

Then can you ask around?

I have a feeling

Eun-gyul has a thing for her.

What are you saying?

What's with you?

I was just joking.

Is that something to be so upset about?

Imagine people gossiping about him

fooling around with an agent.

You should keep an eye on him.

He shouldn't be dating any random girl.

I will.

LOVE DIARY

EPISODE 4

LEE SANG-UK

Yes?

Hello?

This is Lee Sang-uk. Where are you?

Hello.

I'm home. Why?

I need you to confirm something.

When are you coming to work?

Afternoon. In the afternoon.

Can we meet now? I'm in a bit of a hurry.

You can come over if that's the case.

I'll send you the address.

All right.

What…

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

There's no time.

Hello.

Mr. Lee.

Hey.

Hi, Sang-uk.

Hello.

Hello.

COMPANY CREDIT CARD

TRANSACTION DETAILS

There are some transactions

that need to be clarified.

You visited J Hair four times a month,

early in the morning.

My client had to get her hair done

before her morning radio show.

But it's a radio show.

They stream the video too.

Radio but with video…

Yes.

You seem to be a regular

at Stanfirst Hotel.

That's where my client rests

in between shoots.

What?

You think I book hotel rooms

on a company card for personal use?

I can tell what kind of person you are

from your receipts.

Really?

Tell me.

What kind of person am I?

For starters, you're a picky eater.

You also drink more often than you eat.

You have meetings seven days a week.

-And…

-And?

You go through relationships very quickly.

Is that in the receipts?

So it must be true.

No.

It isn't.

Don't tell me you came over

because you wanted to ask me that.

You're not my type, Ms. Chun.

I ask you to respect my boundaries.

Are you really not interested in me?

You came all the way here

when you weren't even interested?

-It was for work--

-No, it wasn't.

We…

should be more honest…

with each other.

Who is it? Excuse me.

Who could it be?

What?

Someone must have the wrong apartment.

Chun Jane!

I know you're home. Open the door.

My bad. Just a second.

Yes?

Alex, it's been a while.

You're already seeing someone new?

Be quiet. Let's talk outside.

You're the one who came on to me,

and you dump me

now that you're bored of me?

After dating you, my soul…

was shredded to pieces.

Be quiet. It was just a month-long fling.

No, it wasn't a fling. I was serious.

I even thought of marrying you.

But you lied to me

about marrying another guy

just to break up with me.

I don't need you in my life.

-That's a relief.

-So that's it.

Are you out of your mind?

This is the current state of my mind.

Chaos.

You clean it up.

You crazy b*stard!

Gosh, this is gross.

The world is full of weirdos.

Right? Sang-uk?

Do you want to ask me something?

I can answer anything.

How about some wine?

Or do you prefer coffee?

Do you want to eat?

Ask me anything. What do you want to do?

Sang-uk. Wait a second.

Sang-uk.

Sang-uk!

Soo-hyun.

What's going on?

You haven't found a nanny yet?

She quit out of the blue this morning.

I found a new one,

but she couldn't start right away.

This is driving me nuts.

Still, you can't just bring

your baby to work.

I can't just leave the baby home alone.

I barely slept last night.

When the person she helped

murders her entire family,

the main character becomes a hired k*ller.

I'm so excited.

I've always wanted to star

in an emotional action film.

I knew we'd hit it off

when I heard you were a fan of my films.

Sorry?

Right.

By the way,

your Korean is better than I thought.

Of course. I'm Korean.

Look at this star.

Peekaboo. Don't cry.

Then how about this?

A teddy bear.

There, there.

Here you go. Play with the star.

Hello, sir.

Pardon?

Yes, I've made my decision

to join Star Media.

The first sh**t will be in LA.

LA?

I thought we start in Seoul

and then fly out to the States.

Oh, you didn't hear?

The American team

couldn't adjust their schedule.

By any chance, is this about your baby?

Do you feel uncomfortable

leaving her here?

No, that's not it.

The most crucial part of this film

is the action.

I want it to be really wild.

Like the movie, k*ll Bill.

Only, our main character fights

with her whole body, not just her sword.

One shot, one k*ll.

Soo-hyun?

Yes?

That sounds awesome.

But it'll be much wilder than you think.

Would that be okay?

Don't worry. I'm made of steel.

If I'm going to do an action film,

I want to do it properly…

Who's this?

It's a misconception that people

become good with babies at my age.

What?

Director Jang,

she's not your baby, is she?

What?

There, there.

-Mommy!

-Anyway,

to pull these action scenes off,

you should start preparing immediately.

Do you have time for that?

I can always make time for work.

If it's inconvenient,

we can make adjustments too.

You know, your kid is still little--

Enough about my kid!

I do understand your concern,

but I'll make sure not to be a nuisance

to you and the team in any way,

so don't worry.

By the way, am I the only one

hearing a baby crying?

Did someone bring their baby to work?

Sir, will you excuse me for a second?

-It's okay.

-Here's Mommy.

Mommy's right here.

-She's right here.

-There, there.

What do we do? She won't stop crying.

-Look at Mommy.

-She's right here.

You're here.

Mommy's here.

Hi.

Hi, baby. It's okay.

Good girl.

I can't believe she stops crying

as soon as she sees her mom.

You must not be able

to go anywhere without her.

Excuse me.

Hello.

Really?

That would be absolutely great.

Okay, see you later.

Bye.

Oh, my God.

Yes!

The nanny is on her way.

Thank you, God.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, God.

Thank you, nanny.

-Did she fall asleep?

-I think so.

Excuse…

What do I do about him?

-Did you want to see me?

-Gosh.

Yes.

The production asked

for a client's childhood photos.

-Can you go and bring--

-Sure.

I'll do that.

He's here.

You know Ko Eun-gyul, right?

The photos will be used in his new series.

Go to his house

and bring five or six photos.

Go where?

His home.

I reviewed Ms. Soo-hyun's contract,

and it looks fine.

Okay, thanks.

I'm stepping out now

and won't be back today.

Good work.

Director Ma!

Check the contract. I sent it to you.

I look forward to working with you.

What's the matter?

Thank you. See you tomorrow.

Okay.

CONTRACT WITH STAR MEDIA

THANKS, DIRECTOR MA.

I'M GLAD TO HAVE YOU JOIN STAR MEDIA.

Oh, my goodness! What do I do?

Wake up!

What do I do?

Are you okay?

Are you all right?

What's wrong?

It's okay.

Director Ma…

Director Ma? What about him?

He's joining…

Star Media with all his clients.

How could he…

How could he leave me like this?

How could he do this?

What the heck are you talking about?

Look at that.

My goodness.

-Good work, everyone.

-Good work.

-Great work.

-Let's take five.

-Let's do that.

-Okay.

Let's take a break.

Soo-hyun must be running late.

I apologize.

-Try calling her.

-Okay.

She's not picking up.

When is she coming?

Have you heard anything?

Where are you? Everyone's waiting.

Try calling her again.

What?

Have a seat. I'll go bring the photos.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Here. I already picked some out.

Are your parents going to be home late?

Why?

No reason.

How about this one?

-Isn't it nice?

-Yes.

This one would work too.

Who's this?

My grandma.

She passed away two years ago.

I guess you take after her.

I can see from these photos

that you were raised with love.

Do you have anything to tell me?

Like what?

You're hiding something from me.

I'm not.

I think we're done, so I'll be going.

-Let's talk.

-About what?

It won't take long.

Ms. So?

Hello.

What brings you here?

I'm here to get props for work.

I'll be on my way.

You're leaving like this?

-Join us for dinner.

-No, I'm fine.

Is that okay, Eun-gyul?

I don't mind.

Are you worried my husband

might scold you?

Don't worry.

He's going to a sneak preview,

so he'll be late.

Come on in. Please.

Okay. Let's go.

The nanny fell asleep in the room,

leaving the kid alone.

And the kid wandered into the kitchen,

where water was boiling.

It would have been really bad

if I'd been a minute late.

I'll find a new nanny,

so this won't happen again.

You'll find another nanny?

What can I do?

I can't trust the one I have now.

You just missed

a really important meeting.

You could've sent Won-jae here instead.

I know how important the meeting was.

Nothing else came to my mind

at that moment.

My kid almost suffered a burn.

How long are you going to use

your kid as an excuse?

"Excuse"?

You wanted this action film.

You wanted Korean audiences

to know your name.

So I got you the perfect role.

It was originally meant

for another actress.

I persuaded the director.

That you'd be much better.

That your childbirth won't be an issue,

and that it'll only make you try harder.

But if your kid keeps you busy,

how does that make me look?

I want to do well too!

But things just keep going wrong!

With my family abroad,

I'm struggling alone here.

I look after the kid and do chores all-day

and have no free time.

All I get to do is work out every day

so I can get back to work.

What's the point?

You can't even find a proper nanny.

If you're going to stay tied to your kid,

maybe you should take some more time off.

Go home!

Damn it, seriously. What's his deal?

Guys.

You shouldn't be riding motorcycles here.

Sirs.

You could've hurt my baby!

Sirs.

Just be on your way, lady.

You don't want to mess with us.

Ma'am.

Jeez.

By any chance,

do you guys recognize me?

-Let me see.

-I know.

You're a total drama queen.

That's what you are, right?

Let me see your baby.

Ms. So.

-Just give me a minute here.

-Sure.

You're home early.

-Yes.

-I thought you were going to be late.

But…

I begged her to stay for dinner.

She won't get in trouble with you later,

will she?

Go wash up. Dinner's almost ready.

Ms. Chun told me

to bring some photos of Eun-gyul

for the show he's on.

Hi, Dad.

Hey.

Mom insisted she should stay for dinner.

It's usually me and these two cold men,

so I love having you here, Ms. So.

What was your major?

Library science and literature.

I see.

You said you were from Busan.

Where in Busan?

Honey.

Oh, my.

I'm sorry. Dig in.

I'm not usually the nosy type.

What's gotten into me?

How's work as an agent?

It's good.

What's my husband like at work?

They all hate him, don't they?

Honey.

No.

They all look up to him.

They also strive to be like him.

As do I.

Please take good care of Eun-gyul.

Sorry?

Right. Okay.

Thank you for dinner.

I'll see her off.

-Will you?

-I'll go. I left something in my car.

Ms. Chun sent me here, I swear.

-Look at this.

-You should've left right away.

I won't stop you from becoming an agent,

so stay away from Eun-gyul, got that?

Then don't pester me about it.

Go tell your son to stay away from me.

Stop working with him.

Or…

you can just tell them who I am.

What's wrong? Did something happen?

How could you do this?

You're joining Star Media,

of all companies?

And you started playing president

acting like you'd save the company.

But then again,

people don't change that easily.

You were also the whistleblower, right?

A whistleblower? What do you mean?

He's the one who reported us

to the National Tax Service.

Really?

Is that true?

Is what she said true?

Are you really the whistleblower?

Director Ma.

Look me in the eye.

Do you have anything to say?

Yes, I'm the one who reported

Mr. Wang's tax evasion.

But it was…

to save Method Entertainment.

To prevent the company from being sold.

-Who would believe that?

-You don't have to.

Anyway, I did my best.

Don't mess with our clients,

or I'll sue you right away.

Go ahead if you can.

I've done nothing ill*gal.

What is it?

Do you want another blow?

Mr. Wang…

rented a Spinel Hotel suite

for two years using company funds.

His wife told me yesterday.

I was going to sort it out,

but I guess I don't have to anymore.

I wish you all good luck.

The general manager is on his way down.

Please wait a moment.

Thank you.

Do you think he'll take our request?

We'll have to beg him.

We just need him to testify

it was rented for work.

What if he refuses to help?

-Act natural.

-What's wrong?

Why, hello.

-Fancy seeing you here.

-What brings you by?

I have some business here.

Please go about your business.

I'm from the National Tax Service.

I'd like to see the manager.

I'm afraid he has an appointment.

Actually, it just got canceled.

Will you have a seat and wait over there?

Are we checked out then?

Yes, you are.

Let's go, sweetie.

Mr. Lee.

No one can know you saw us here.

Let's go.

ACTRESS SOO-HYUN

MOOD CURATOR

RELAX WITH SOOTHING MUSIC,

LIGHTING, AND A MASSAGE

Oh, my gosh.

My goodness. This is unbelievable.

Let me see.

Move it.

Give it here.

Damn it.

That startled me.

Are you okay?

What the hell was that?

Why you…

-You old hag.

-Come on!

Damn it.

Jeez.

Man, that hurts.

ACTOR SOO-HYUN GETS

INTO STREET FIGHT WITH MINORS!

Gosh.

How far has it spread?

It's spread to all the big forums

and already has over 300,000 views.

What's worse is that

people are posting that

they saw her being taken by the police.

-What?

-What?

WHAT A DISGRACE

THOSE ARE HIGHSCHOOLERS GETTING BEATEN

-My goodness.

-Oh, boy.

What's going on?

Are you too busy to even keep track

of what's happening to your client now?

She was taken by the police yesterday.

You didn't know?

What?

-Is she still not picking up?

-No.

I'll go to her place.

-I'll go.

-I'll go.

-I can go.

-No, I'll go.

Why? To talk her into joining Star Media?

Ms. Chun.

Let him be.

He's her agent after all.

He wouldn't let anything happen to her.

Ms. Chun, something seems off.

-What do you mean?

-Move it.

Give it here.

It didn't hit him.

Oh, my. It really didn't.

-He didn't get hit.

-No.

-Not this time either.

-What's going on?

Gosh, what is this?

These guys are a bunch of con artists!

Look what they've done!

It's just a graze.

I've had worse injuries while training.

So this is a good thing?

I'm saying I won't be

in trouble with the law.

I'm not stupid.

I knew I'd be in trouble

if I laid a finger on them.

The police let me go

after checking the CCTV footage.

Hello, sir.

Okay. I'll call you back.

What is it?

It's the Amazones production.

They feel uncomfortable about casting you

after your as*ault rumors.

Oh, no.

What?

Did you skip lunch?

I wanted to finish this first.

I posted the video of Soo-hyun

in slow motion on mom forums,

and it's getting

a ton of favorable comments.

SOO-HYUN'S A TOTAL GIRL CRUSH

SHE DESERVES THE GOOD CITIZEN AWARD

It's getting so many views too.

They think she deserves

the Good Citizen Award.

"It's like a scene from a movie."

"You're so cool."

Welcome.

IT'S SO MOVING HOW SHE FIGHTS FOR HER BABY

LOOK AT HER EASILY FIGHTING THEM OFF!

Excuse me. Aren't you the lady

who beat those punks to a pulp?

-Yes, that's me.

-It is her.

I watched your video over a hundred times.

Can I get a selfie?

I'm a huge fan.

One, two, three.

-You look gorgeous!

-I love you!

-Can you show me a kick?

-Just once. Please.

-Please. Yes.

-Here?

-Show us!

-Show us!

-Show us!

-Show us!

Cut! Okay.

That was great! You did really well.

Let's move on.

-She's amazing.

-That was really nice.

Mr. Ma, Soo-hyun is

the talk of the town these days.

Thank you for offering to sh**t

an ad based on her viral video.

I appreciate it.

Her image fits perfectly

with our game character.

You said I should take more time off.

Isn't this nice?

The shoots are short

without having to go overseas

and there are action scenes.

I'm planning to donate profits from the ad

to a women's organization.

Donate?

All right.

You can donate a part of it.

About 20 percent--

All of it.

All of it?

I already told their PR team

my agency would approve of this

since it's for a great cause.

Sir!

Soo-hyun, you're the best!

Mr. Ma, way to go.

-You're awesome!

-Good job!

-You're the best!

-Well done!

-You rock!

-Way to go!

He's amazing.

All right, everyone.

Let's get ready for the next shot.

-Let's get ready!

-They're donating all the profits.

Mr. Kim--

Jin-hyeok.

Yes?

A film studio wants Hee-sun to audition.

Really?

Oh, my. For real?

That's great news.

But why are you here, brooding?

The role is a maid.

She'll have lines with Park h*-san.

If she has scenes with the lead role,

it's great since she'll get

a lot of screen time.

Because she's a maid,

she has to bend down the whole time.

She can't lift her head.

Oops.

She'll be extremely disappointed, right?

Maid Number Three? Three?

-Yes.

-They want me to play a maid?

Buttering up Park h*-san, her master?

You have lines too.

"How dare you speak that way to my lady?"

Oh, my God!

-Mr. Kim, this is awesome!

-Wait!

-I'm so happy!

-Hold on.

-This is awesome!

-So you're happy?

I couldn't be happier!

I can't believe it!

Can you get down?

Mr. Kim and I are university friends.

I'm not sure that's what he thinks.

I had an important meeting

with a production company at the hotel.

Is that why you booked a room

with your friend?

When you want a guy, you seduce them.

When you get bored, you dump them.

Is that what you've always been doing?

That Alex guy, me…

and now Mr. Kim too.

That's not true.

-What happened is…

-You don't have to explain.

It doesn't matter anymore.

Okay, here's the truth.

Mr. Kim and I were

putting on an act that day.

We were just pretending.

Mr. Wang had rented a hotel room

long-term with company money,

and we only recently found out.

And I panicked

when you suddenly showed up.

You tried to cover up embezzlement?

Yes, that's right.

I did that because…

I need to save the company.

What?

Do you think I'm lying again?

You're finally being honest.

I didn't realize Mr. Ma

made this much money.

To be precise, the actors

that he's in charge of make a lot.

We need to stop them

from joining Star Media.

Otherwise…

There's more?

There's more, right?

What is it?

Nothing more can surprise us.

I just…

got off the phone with Mr. Wang's wife.

The Chinese investors…

-canceled the acquisition!

-What?

-What?

-What?

They heard the rumor

that Ma Tae-oh is joining Star Media.

And without Director Ma,

they're not interested in taking over.

Isn't that good news? Isn't it?

Hold on. What did Mr. Wang's wife say?

She's furious that

the company is worth crap now.

She's putting all the blame

on Director Ma.

In any case, I guess we all owe him.

You're right.

What? Is something wrong?

Could Director Ma…

have done this on purpose?

What?

Maybe he spread the rumor about him

leaving the company on purpose…

He did that on purpose?

Does he care about Method that much?

Come to think of it,

he didn't have to let us know

about Mr. Wang's hotel room.

If he was really going to leave, that is.

We have to admit that he tried harder

than anyone to save the company

after Mr. Wang's death.

That was in his own best interests,

not for Method.

What?

Did he also leave

his cell phone on purpose?

So I could see the message?

I think he expected you to check

the contract that was emailed to him.

-Since you know his password.

-I do.

I'm the only one who knows it.

So Hyun-joo.

You're acting suspicious.

Why do you seem to keep defending him?

I'm not. It's just that I remembered

what he said the other day.

He said that he reported us

to the National Tax Service on purpose.

My word…

The job offer was on purpose too.

He's always been clever

in his own sneaky way.

Right, he did all of that on purpose.

He even let Director Jang

slap him in the face.

They canceled the acquisition?

No. Why would I tell them

I was joining Star Media?

I have no idea how they--

Please, calm down first.

I'll call you back.

All right.

Director Ma.

You really are amazing.

Director Ma.

-Thank you.

-He saved our company!

Thank you!

STAR MEDIA CHO GI-BONG

Cheers.

Yes!

-Let's celebrate!

-Come on, everybody!

Come on in!

Don't be shy.

-Come on!

-We should celebrate!

How's your face?

It's okay.

Still, you could have given us a heads-up.

No, you did well.

Word spreads quickly around here.

You played it right.

I guess no one will mess with Method

for some time.

I guess the storm has passed then.

Of course, it's completely over.

Right?

But apparently not for this one here.

What's wrong?

Are you still suspecting him?

That's enough.

You should learn to trust people.

That's not it.

Then what is it?

Take a look.

It's what Mr. Lee Sang-uk had.

What is it?

That's the amount that Mr. Wang embezzled.

How many zeros…

Hey.

Method Entertainment…

might really go under.

Are those two fighting again?

-I can't take it anymore.

-Look who's talking!

You two are responsible

if we can't sh**t the scene tomorrow.

It's no use if you came

to get us to make up.

-The most popular character on the show…

-I'll k*ll him no matter what!

-We might be able to stop him.

-You want to threaten him?

Stop trash-talking Director Ma

and try reflecting for once.

You're always thirsty for guys!

-Who was it? You good-for-nothing.

-Youngtak, what were you doing in there?

I found a surefire way

to save Method Entertainment.

He was planning this from the start.

I've always wanted to try this.

-What's your relationship with my dad?

-Hey!

-Honey!

-Are you two having an affair?
