01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

To some,

it might seem like agents are

parasites on stars, leeching off of them.

If celebrities are crocodiles,

their agents are crocodile birds.

EPISODE 6

But in reality,

agents are more like crocodile trainers.

They feed the crocodiles

when they're hungry

and treat them when they're sick.

But most importantly,

their job is to prepare an environment

where the crocodiles

can show off their talents.

For example…

Let's team up a newbie with a veteran

to revive the theater--

I see that Kim Soo-ro isn't the director.

He's directed many plays, hasn't he?

Would you like to go outside

and watch them rehearse?

I mean, what's with you?

It just feels a little awkward.

Director Kim,

let's leave out the pool scene.

I'm the director here, Soo-ro.

-You have to go in.

-Don Juan is an eloquent speaker.

All he needs to do is talk.

Why would he go into the water?

How many times do I have to tell you

this is a modern interpretation?

Gosh, can I have a word with you?

We can talk here.

If you have something to say, say it.

I really didn't want to say this,

but how many times

have you even read Don Juan?

This misses the whole point.

It has nothing to do with Don Juan.

And what about the stage?

It's not even an actual theater.

With some half-naked actors in a pool…

You call this proper theater?

I can't do this. Get rid of the pool!

Let's get rid of you instead of the pool!

I'll have you kicked out

before that ever happens!

What do you even know about directing?

You're so full of yourself!

I was on the stage while

you were still sucking on freeze pops!

We didn't have freeze pops in my days!

Do you have kimchi?

Should I send you some?

No need.

Mom, you know what?

They don't put jeotgal

in their kimchi in Seoul.

At first, I thought

the kimchi here tasted bland,

but I'm used to it now.

You little brat.

You sound like a proper Seoulite.

I guess so.

Who is it at this hour?

No idea.

Package delivery, maybe?

Check who it is before you open the door.

Who is it?

It's Song Eun-ha,

Director Ma Tae-oh's wife.

Who did they say it was?

Hey! So Hyun-joo, you--

CALL ENDED

So…

you moved here just like that?

Because you wanted to be an agent?

Yes.

Does your mom know?

No.

She doesn't know a thing.

Did my husband…

I mean, Director Ma,

see you grow up?

We met once a year.

When he was in Busan

for the film festival.

But I rarely met him

after I started high school.

Did you not know

about me and Eun-gyul?

I didn't when I was a kid,

but my mom told me

in my second year of high school.

I'm sorry.

About what?

About…

everything.

Didn't you say you were

the same age as Eun-gyul?

Yes.

When is your birthday?

It was last week.

The 23rd.

Get out!

-Why, all of a sudden?

-"All of a sudden"?

Did you give me a heads-up

before cheating on me?

Get out right now!

Where would I go at this hour?

You cheated on me

while I was pregnant with Eun-gyul!

Get out.

I didn't know you were pregnant back then!

And technically, we had broken up.

Fine, I get it.

I'll leave.

I'm going.

Eun-gyul.

Are you just getting home?

How much did you drink?

Do you know what time it is?

Are you scolding me?

What gives you the right?

I'm just worried about your mom.

Don't stay out too late.

And keep an eye on your mom.

Are you going to her family?

Hey, watch it.

I don't care. Do whatever you want.

You can't back out now.

The show is just around the corner.

Then get rid of the pool scene.

It wasn't even in the original script.

And he switched to that ridiculous venue

without saying a word to me.

There's something else to it, isn't there?

My goodness.

You never go against the director

without good reason.

So tell me.

I can't fix it

unless I know what the problem is.

What is it?

I can't…

What? Speak clearly.

-You probably won't believe this, but…

-I probably won't, but?

I can't.

Can't what?

I can't go into the water.

I have aquaphobia.

Gosh, then you should've said so.

No way.

You know I once went on a talk show

and gave a lecture, right?

Don't you remember what I said there?

When an actor performs,

they must forget all

of their fears and insecurities.

Overcoming their limits

is what an actor does!

That's what I said.

So how can I say

I can't go into the water?

-I can't.

-Still…

Whatever.

You can't tell anyone about this.

You have to keep it a secret.

And please work things out for me.

I beg you.

You got this.

I'll be going. Thanks.

-Soo-ro…

-Good luck. Problem solved.

Let's grab some Korean beef soon.

Two, three…

Something good must be going on with you.

Something good

is going on with you, Hee-sun.

You know Director Jang Sin-ae, right?

Of course.

She's the hottest director these days.

And you'll be given a chance

to audition for her next project.

That's awesome! What's the role?

It's a girl who's lived abroad.

-That's me.

-She has many foreign friends.

So do I.

She's full of soul.

-That's me!

-She loves hip-hop.

-She's a street dancer.

-That's…

Hip-hop?

Dancer?

Since you give out dancer vibes,

the role will definitely be yours.

Yours.

When's the audition?

That's new.

That's extremely hard to come by.

It's a new limited-edition Prada.

Darn it.

What I mean is,

I don't understand

why he brought that huge bag to work

when he's not going on a business trip.

I see.

-Do you think there's money inside?

-Money?

-Director Ma said he'd buy the company.

-Right.

Maybe he brought the money

his father-in-law gave him

in that bag.

Who buys a company with cash?

-Maybe he's trying to launder the money.

-What?

Maybe it's from shady sources.

No way.

-I can't stand it.

-What?

Where are you going? What is it?

What are you doing?

Underwear?

-Underwear!

-What's going on--

Come out. Director Ma is coming.

What do I do with this?

Why did you want to see me?

I must say, I love the new stage.

People will go mad when they see it.

Come on. You're exaggerating.

But about that scene

where Don Juan goes into the pool…

There might be line delivery issues

if he goes into the water,

so maybe he should say his lines

outside the water, facing the pool.

Did Soo-ro ask you to say that to me?

No, it was my idea.

That stubborn old goat.

He never stops babbling

about the classics all the time.

That's why the crew

calls him old-fashioned.

Forget it.

If he keeps insisting,

I'll have to switch him out.

What will people say

if they find out Kim Soo-ro dropped out

a week before the premiere?

Is that a threat?

This project is important to you.

It can get your name out there

as a director.

I think you two should

meet each other halfway

so that this project can be

a win-win for everyone.

Ms. Yoo, can I get an envelope?

Sure.

No, I don't have any.

You always keep some in your drawer.

We're all out at the moment.

Completely.

-Really?

-Yes.

I'll bring one to you.

-All right.

-Okay.

-Will you be taking those home?

-Shut up.

-Hey.

-Here.

Why do you have these?

You must have dropped them.

I picked them up in the hallway

and kept them.

Okay, thanks.

All right.

Did you leave home?

I didn't, so don't worry.

I'm sorry. It's all my fault.

Forget it.

What happened, happened.

It's okay.

I'm looking for another job.

I'll leave as soon as I can.

Hey…

Like this.

FROM THE FREEZE, PUSH OFF YOUR LEGS

You're working so hard.

Are you preparing for your audition?

Yes.

I see.

I guess the role is a zombie.

But I thought zombies were…

more like this.

This is why I brought you here.

You are my youth, love,

-past, and--

-Try again.

I don't feel any emotion.

You are my youth, love,

-past--

-Stand closer to the water.

You're faced with your past and future

in your subconscious.

You're so far away from the water,

so the scene doesn't feel alive.

-Is this close enough?

-No. A little closer.

Soo-ro, you need to come closer.

You're my youth, love--

See? You see what I mean?

The lines feel hollow.

They don't mean anything

unless he says them while drenched.

Then cast a professional swimmer instead.

This isn't the Olympics.

That punk's obsession

is making everyone miserable.

What did you just say?

"Punk"?

Did you just call me a punk?

Yes, I did, you little punk.

How dare you glare at me?

Back in the day,

you wouldn't dare look me in the eyes.

My goodness.

Ladies, you can come out.

You're shivering--

Stay right there!

Enough is enough!

Can't you see them shivering

with their lips all blue?

-Let's take a break.

-What are you talking about?

Soo-ro, are you okay?

Soo-ro!

Get him out of the water! Now!

Soo-ro!

-Are you okay?

-Hurry!

Soo-ro! Come on up.

Careful.

Are you okay, Soo-ro?

I'm sorry.

Are you all right?

Why you little…

I'll teach you a lesson, you punk!

Sir, please calm down. Who hit who first?

Both the actor and the director

are claiming they got hit first!

They both stormed out

and I can't reach either of them!

You talked me into getting them on board,

so you sort this out.

If this play fails, I'll sue all of you!

Damn it.

That play…

Must both of them have to take part in it?

What?

Director Ma once said

the company doesn't benefit much

from the actors starring in plays

because they get paid too little

compared to the effort we put in.

So…

if the two of them

can't seem to get along,

maybe one of them should drop out

for the company's sake.

It's just my humble opinion.

I'm sorry.

If that happens after all that media hype,

do you think the reporters will sit back?

Agents should always put

their clients before the company.

Take what Director Ma says

with a grain of salt.

He puts money before his clients.

Wait.

Give this to Eun-gyul.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I had to make up an excuse to step out.

It's okay.

We're meeting here because of me anyway.

I know.

But that's also because of me.

Sorry.

My dad is the one who should be sorry.

Did you say you had no other siblings?

I don't.

That makes us each other's only siblings.

It's weird to have a sister

all of a sudden.

I think it'll take some time

to accept it and get used to it.

For both me and my mom.

You understand, right?

Yes.

It definitely seems like he's home.

-Hi, Won-jae.

-Hi.

-Are you sure he's home?

-Yes.

I just saw someone

deliver jjajangmyeon to his house.

Hello?

Soo-ro?

Your call could not…

Gosh, I told him

to install a doorbell many times.

Stand there.

-Are you going over?

-Yes. Stand there.

Brace your legs. Okay.

Here I go.

It's so hot.

Oh my, God. Soo-ro!

What do I do?

Soo-ro!

Get inside your house!

Now!

House! Gosh.

-Goodness gracious.

-Oh, my.

Why would you jump over the wall?

-Are you okay?

-Yes.

You've got yourself a great guard.

It's just…

I should at least pretend

to make an effort.

Good for you.

I knew you wouldn't keep

acting so unreasonably.

This play is a lost cause,

but something similar could happen again.

"A lost cause"?

Did you think I'd keep working

with that jerk h*-young?

Let's see what happens

to the play without me.

That arrogant punk.

How can he not even apologize

after pushing me into the water?

I was just with him.

He's kicking himself

for the way he treated you.

-As if.

-It's true.

I barely stopped him

from tagging along here.

"Soo-ro doesn't feel like seeing you."

"Go see him once he feels better."

Then how come he hasn't even called me?

I told him not to call, okay?

I told him to apologize to you in person

when you're in a better mood.

Apologizing over the phone?

What kind of rude and disrespectful

behavior is that to a senior actor?

You little brat.

It's not going so well.

Great work.

Hi, h*-young.

Are you free tonight?

This isn't about Soo-ro.

I just want to grab a drink with you.

Yes, I know that place.

Okay. See you in a bit.

You know h*-young's favorite bar?

Yes, I do.

Let's go there.

Looking like this?

-Let's go.

-Okay.

Can you make it on time?

Of course.

I'll be back by 10:30 p.m.,

so wait for me.

Won't you be too tired?

Going to the movies after a meeting?

How about next time?

No, that movie stops showing this week.

And it has to be seen in a theater.

I'm just worried you'll be--

Done.

Don't you think

you're too dressed up for a meeting?

I'm going on a date afterward.

With who?

I'm sorry I can't have dinner with you.

If you're sorry, come home early.

Okay.

I'm not being unreasonable here.

Going into the pool

is the crux of the play.

So how can I take that scene out?

Right, you shouldn't.

Soo-ro says he's sorry.

He's going to try his best

for the pool scene.

Come on, I know what kind of person he is.

He's too stubborn to have said that.

It's true.

He even got himself

a pool this deep in his yard to practice.

You should apologize to him too.

Forget it.

Why should I apologize

when I didn't do anything wrong?

Stop talking about him.

It's stressing me out.

I'm having a birthday party

at a friend's bar tomorrow.

It'll just be a casual get-together.

You're invited.

I do hope you can make it.

There's such a charming air about you.

That must be why everyone likes you.

What about you?

Me?

I like you too.

Come on.

As a friend? Or…

as a man?

I realized many things

while watching you direct.

That there's always more to people

than meets the eye.

That there are still many sides of you

that I don't know about.

For example?

For example…

-Oh, no!

-That's cold!

-My bad. Are you okay?

-I'm fine.

-I'll be right back.

-Okay.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

h*-young.

Okay.

"Kim Soo-ro."

Here he is.

"I'd like to apologize to you in person."

Send.

PLEASE COME TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY TOMORROW.

I'D LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO YOU IN PERSON.

Delete message.

I'm sorry.

The meeting took longer than expected.

Are you very upset?

You didn't even have time to send a text?

I was too focused on the meeting.

Did you even go home last night?

Of course.

Past 3 a.m.?

Is that how long you waited?

I left after you got home.

I guess you were too drunk to remember.

I understand you didn't have a choice.

Next time, let me know so I don't worry.

Okay. I will.

You drank a lot last night.

I can cancel our plans tonight

if you want.

With my friends, remember?

That's tonight.

I'm aware.

If you're busy due to work,

-we can find another--

-No.

We can't postpone plans like that.

It's suffocating.

Why do I have to tell him

everything going on with me?

I feel suffocated.

Well, it must be the first time

that's happened to you.

The old you would've

broken up with him right there.

Gosh. You must like him a lot.

You think so?

He says he understands,

but I don't think he means it.

I don't feel understood at all.

You're the one who should try

to understand your boyfriend.

You stand him up all the time,

you leave for work while eating,

and your eyes are glued

to your phone all day.

If he's putting up with all that,

he must really like you.

Why are you defending him?

Don't break up

until the investigation is over.

Why you…

I won't. Do you know how much I like him?

I really like him.

Seriously?

Jeez.

AUDITION LOCATION

Ms. Kang Hee-sun?

-Is Ms. Kang Hee-sun here?

-Yes, I'm here!

-Please come in.

-Okay.

I can do this.

Hello, I'm Kang Hee-sun

from Method Entertainment.

I see. Ms. Kang Hee-sun?

She's the one

Mr. Kim Jung-don talked about.

We're a little behind schedule.

Let's see you dance first and then act.

"You don't mean any of the words you sing

for those 16 lines."

"This is…"

I'm sorry, but please don't say any lines.

I just want to see you dance.

I thought you should see me act first.

No.

Let's see you dance.

Okay.

What's she doing?

"You don't mean any of the words you sing

for those 16 lines."

-"This is just garbage!"

-Hold on.

I'm sorry. I'll call you back--

Hello?

I jumped through hoops

to get you this audition…

Why did you do that?

Explain why you did that.

I can't dance. I have two left feet.

Then you should've said so.

Were you going to star in a hip-hop movie

without dancing?

You got me the audition

without asking my opinion.

You assumed I'd be soulful

just because I lived abroad…

I wanted to be cast with my acting,

then practice my dancing afterward.

Your acting?

You mean throwing your bag

at the director?

The director owes me a favor,

so I begged her to cast you

even though you're a rookie,

and you would've passed

just by doing the bare minimum.

Then I wouldn't have earned it.

Stop being so naive.

You can't win by playing fair here.

You're the one

who doesn't trust my performance.

Then why did you ask me to sign with you?

No way.

Do you have feelings for me?

What?

Never!

That's not true, I swear!

What's the point of getting me auditions

when you don't even know what I'm good at?

I don't need an agent like you!

Jeez.

She's over there.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

Hello.

What do you think you're doing?

I'm sorry.

Forgive me this once.

If I had done the same,

would you be able to forgive me?

-Will you excuse us for a second?

-Sure.

-Go ahead.

-I kept it from you

because I love you.

Because I didn't want to lose you.

Why are you so desperate?

Because of the company?

It doesn't have to do with that.

Don't worry.

I haven't told Father yet.

I'm going to tell him today.

-Honey, please--

-Get your hands off me.

-Ju-yeong?

-Yes?

Let me start again.

I'm not going.

Why are you being like this?

I already told h*-young you were coming.

If you back out now,

how would that make him feel?

Who is he to tell me to come and go?

I don't even know if I'd see him

if he came over.

He's using his party as an excuse

because it'd be awkward

to meet with you alone.

How can we possibly talk at a party?

There will be a ton of people.

It's not that kind of party.

He's just having a few friends over.

h*-young will be

looking forward to seeing you.

Okay. Fine.

I'll pick you up at 6 p.m.

Sang-uk, I'm really sorry,

but something came up,

so I might run a little late.

I have to drive Kim Soo-ro

to an important dinner.

Everyone involved in the play

will be there.

No, don't cancel it.

I'm only dropping by the party.

Of course, I wouldn't meet your friends

without looking my best.

Okay. I'll be there as soon as I can.

This is ridiculous.

What a way to waste your money and life.

Do you call this casual?

It is, considering h*-young's character.

Forget it. I'm out of here.

I can't stay here.

Come on. Look, h*-young's over there.

See? He's rushing over to greet you.

Did you bring a present?

Seriously, what would you do without me?

-h*-young!

-Hey, you made it.

-Hi.

-You must have spent quite--

Happy birthday.

I brought Soo-ro with me like you asked.

Well, Soo-ro.

You said you brought a present.

What? Right.

-Happy birthday.

-Thanks.

What is it?

GENIUS DIRECTOR KIM h*-YOUNG

"Genius director"?

-Thank you.

-Sure.

That's so hip.

How thoughtful of you, Soo-ro.

So…

h*-young!

-Hey, you came.

-Happy birthday.

Why are you so late?

-I've been waiting.

-Happy birthday.

Seriously.

That rude brat.

After buttering me up

to make me come here,

how can he blow me off like this?

He doesn't deserve a present.

He's just busy greeting his guests.

Let's grab a drink over there.

I'll bring him in a bit.

Drink with the genius director instead.

-I'm leaving.

-Soo-ro.

Excuse me. Aren't you Kim Soo-ro?

Yes, that's me.

-Can I get a photo with you?

-Of course, you can.

-Thank you.

-Sure.

It's my pleasure.

All right.

You're all gorgeous.

One, two, three.

You were excited about working with him.

That was before he beat me up.

Hey.

He lost his grip on you, and you slipped.

I looked into it.

Whatever.

My pride was still hurt,

and it's beyond recovery.

I may have debuted later than him,

but I'm the director of this play.

But he still calls me a punk all the time.

He doesn't respect me as a director.

So why should I keep working with him?

It's not that he doesn't respect you.

Then what's the matter?

What's so bad about going into the water?

He has his reasons.

So what are they?

I'm going to k*ll you if you tell anyone.

I won't.

He can't go into the water.

What?

He can't go into the water

because he's scared!

-Soo-ro.

-Soo-ro!

Wait!

Are you serious about this?

Pack up and leave right now.

I don't even want to talk to you anymore.

Fine.

It's all my fault.

You can take custody.

What are you crying for?

I want to work things out with you.

Please forgive me this one time.

Let go!

HYUN-JOO

Please trust me just one more time.

It's already over between us.

-Didn't you expect this when you lied?

-What's the matter?

Have you had dinner yet?

-I didn't want to hurt you.

-Do you hear yourself?

-You made a fool out of me.

-No, I haven't.

You don't have an appetite?

-I'm not that hungry.

-It must not be to your taste.

I wanted to buy you something good.

No, it was good. I enjoyed it.

Are you sleeping okay?

I barely slept

when I first moved to Seoul.

I was scared,

and there was a noisy barbecue restaurant

on the first floor.

But after a while,

I grew to dislike silence more.

When it's too quiet,

you fall asleep better with the TV on.

Especially the baduk channel.

They make that sound…

It's like an ASMR video made just for me.

What is it?

Nothing.

You should stay with the company.

What?

Don't mind me and stay.

Ms. Chun seems to like you too.

Tell me if you need anything.

I will. Get home safe.

Okay. Good night.

Hyun-joo.

Yes?

Thanks.

When I was little,

I went to a swimming pool with my friends.

And one of them dared me

to hold my breath longer than him

at the bottom of the pool.

But then my swim trunks

got caught in the pump,

and I started getting sucked in.

I thought I was going to die.

Luckily,

the lifeguard saved me in time.

So that's what happened.

Since that day,

I can't stop thinking I might die

every time I go into water.

I'm sorry.

I had no idea.

Don't apologize.

I should've told you from the beginning.

It's my fault for not telling you.

Soo-ro, I realized something

after hearing your story.

You're exactly the Don Juan

I would like to depict.

A Don Juan who is

self-centered and obstinate,

but fears death deep down inside.

A Don Juan who seems so very human.

In any case,

the Don Juan that you imagine

must go into the water.

It only makes sense that way.

Speaking of which…

I'd like to show you something.

-This is unnecessary.

-Don't force yourself.

-Don't push yourself.

-I'll take the pool scene out.

-I mean it. Hold on.

-Soo-ro, please.

Stop!

Be careful.

When an actor performs,

they must forget all

of their fears and insecurities.

Overcoming their limits

is what an actor does!

-I did it!

-Oh, my!

He's been practicing going into the water

to star as your Don Juan this entire time!

Soo-ro!

Soo-ro!

Soo-ro!

If I…

If I train just a little more…

I'll be able to stay in the water longer.

You're the best!

You're amazing!

Soo-ro!

-Cheers!

-Cheers!

Soo-ro, you're the best!

Soo-ro, you're amazing!

-Let's drink!

-Come here!

You're the best!

-Soo-ro!

-Everybody, make a train!

-Choo-choo!

-Follow Soo-ro!

Choo-choo!

Choo-choo!

Choo-choo!

Choo-choo!

Sang-uk.

Sang-uk, wait! You've got the wrong idea.

That was h*-young. Kim h*-young.

You know him, right?

I'm sorry I couldn't call.

I must have been out of my mind.

I was so happy

that Soo-ro and h*-young made up

and ended up having a few drinks.

What you just saw means nothing.

We were just drinking together

to build teamwork.

-It's just work.

-Work?

You're telling me that was work?

I know it's hard to understand…

Were all your meetings like this?

No, today was a special occasion.

I can explain everything.

-It's become clear now.

-What?

That you're never going to change.

I'm trying my best.

I've never told anyone about

what I'm doing or where I'm at.

But I tell you everything.

I'm trying my best to change.

You don't have to mind me anymore.

So live however you want.

Sang-uk.

Are you breaking up with me?

Sang-uk!

Who is it?

It's Hee-sun. Kang Hee-sun.

Hee-sun?

Just a second.

What brings you here?

I thought about calling you, but…

I'm sorry about earlier.

I was feeling ambitious and impatient.

I got upset with myself

because I wasn't as good as I wished.

I should've told you

I couldn't dance from the beginning.

No, I should have checked with you first.

Here.

What's this?

I wrote down my strengths and weaknesses.

You're good at speaking English,

singing, running,

playing phone games, and thrift shopping.

And you're bad at cooking, gossiping,

and dancing.

Dancing.

I'll keep this in mind from now on.

I'll get going then.

Wait, Hee-sun.

Since you're here,

should we grab a beer or something?

-My favorite bar is around the corner.

-Sure.

I'll get a cab for you later.

Let's see.… Okay.

What should we eat?

-Jung-don.

-Oh, my. Hey.

-Jung-don, I messed up.

-What happened?

Watch your head.

-I screwed up.

-It's okay.

-It's okay.

-At the pool…

-Hey.

-I was at the pool and…

Hee-sun.

Sorry, but can we reschedule?

-I'm sorry.

-Sure.

-Hey, look at me.

-He was…

-Goodness.

-What do I do?

Your clothes are soaked.

-It's okay.

-Why did I…

It's all right.

It's okay, I get it. Jeez.

What happened?

Don Juan.

Goodbye. It's all over now.

The bloody history tainted with jealousy

will lead me on the path to freedom!

-It was amazing.

-Thank you.

-Congratulations.

-It was so nice.

-I really enjoyed it.

-Thank you.

Utilizing water in the play

was a brilliant idea.

To Don Juan,

who rejects the idea of monogamy,

water is like a mother

who accepts him the way he is.

What makes Don Juan

jump from one woman to another

isn't his lust.

It's his fear.

Hold on. What fear?

The fear of losing himself

if he were to fall in love

with someone with all his heart.

The fear of his loved one leaving him.

Gosh, that was impressive.

IF MY WOUNDS HAVE HEALED

THE SIXTH STORY

I WISH I COULD GO BACK, BUT…

HOW TO REGRE

AFTER LOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVE

YOU WERE THE ONE FOR ME!

HOW TO REGRE

AFTER LOSING SOMEONE YOU LOVE

THE GUY FROM THE NATIONAL TAX SERVICE

Ms. Chun, their conversation

with Mr. Lee Sang-uk is about over.

I think…

you should see it for yourself.

Can we talk?

What did he say?

Do we have to pay a big fine?

Just tell us already.

He engaged in embezzlement

and tax evasion for the past ten years.

The fines are pretty hefty.

How much?

Does your father-in-law know

about the tax investigation?

Yes.

He's still willing to buy the company

regardless of the fines?

Well…

there's a problem.

What problem?

I think we have to postpone

the acquisition a little bit.

Without his money,

how are you going to pay the fines?

I don't care

if Method goes bankrupt or not,

so figure something out.

The acquisition will be postponed? Why?

Tell us. Did something else come up?

What is it?

My wife and I are separated.

It's a family matter.

Goodness gracious.

What's with her?

Is she

going to beat him up?

-Let's go.

-We have to stop her.

-Hurry.

-Oh, no.

I realized what my problem was.

I was afraid

that my life would falter

if I loved someone with all my heart.

I want to do well at both work and love,

but it's difficult.

So please show me how.

I'm sorry.

Where is she?

Oh, my gosh.

Goodness gracious.

What did I just see?

Mr. Kim, did you know about this?

No.

Take care.

Shouldn't you go after her?

No, I'm not going to do that anymore.

It's never a good idea

to mix work and emotions.

If I can't deal with it,

I shouldn't start at all.

He was leaving

But he was not leaving for good

There must have been

Such a promise

Every day…

Then…

what's going to happen

to our company?

I'll figure something out,

so you can all go home.

I won't let anything happen to Method

as long as I'm around.

He was leaving

But he was not leaving for good…

Are you drunk?

No.

Don't worry and go home, all of you.

I haven't seen Director Ma

this drunk in a long time.

Was it about 20 years ago?

During the film festival in Busan,

he got wasted after almost breaking up

with his wife on the phone

and went missing for three days.

While we're on the subject,

let me ask you something. Okay?

Where the hell were you back then?

I don't remember.

Come on.

Tell me, Director Ma.

I don't remember. It's been too long.

You're smiling.

I can see your two dimples.

-I'm getting curious.

-Tell us.

-Just tell us.

-Yes, tell us.

-What happened?

-Please tell us.

Stop making us wait and just tell us.

SANG-UK

We need to talk.

Are you not going to see me again?

I'm sorry.

Director Ma.

-Are you really not going to tell us?

-I'm not drunk.

-I'm so curious.

-Careful.

-Seriously.

-Grab that taxi!

Where were you then?

-Be careful.

-My goodness.

-You can at least tell me.

-Hey!

Please get in.

-Me?

-Are you leaving?

-Bye.

-Bye.

-See you.

-I wish you would tell us.

-Get home safe.

-I'm so curious.

-Go.

-Bye.

-What was that song?

-Let's go.

-He was leaving

-He was leaving

Eun-soo, wait for us.

-Let's go.

-Okay, let's go.

-The buses are still running.

-There are.

-I'll get going.

-Take care.

-See you.

-Bye.

We haven't thrown you a welcome party yet.

It's okay.

A welcome party?

Should we go for another round?

-Another round?

-Another?

-Should we do that?

-Sure.

Let's go!

Let's go and have

some golbaengi and fried chicken!

That sounds good!

Sang-uk?

We don't keep any secrets between us.

Director Ma, what do I do?

-So it wasn't an affair?

-Seriously.

Why'd you come here

when there are so many prying eyes?

So you're choosing Jun-h* over me.

-You have no idea how much

-You have no idea how much

-I've been enduring it all this time!

-I've been enduring it all this time!

Stop!

But would he invest in us?

I'm going to try to win him over.

Watch out!

-Don't you trust me?

-You have to keep it a secret.

"Considering retiring"?

-You lying crook.

-That should be my line.

-Shut up.

-How much do you trust Director Ma?

Let's get a divorce.
