ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND EVENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

What are you doing?

And who are you?

Are you her husband, boyfriend,
relative, or a family member?

If not, step aside.

Hey, Oh Dae-o!

OH DAE-O IS AE-JEONG'S PROPERTY

You're not any of those things, right?

Then back off.

Who knows? I could be.

Unbelievable.

Both of you, just stop!

Yeon-woo, this is my business.

I'll quickly wrap this up
and head back down. All right?

I'm sorry about this.

Hey, do you know where Classroom 1-3 is?

EPISODE 5

NOH HA-NEE

I'm Noh Ha-nee, Noh Ae-jeong's daughter.

You're Ae-jeong's daughter?

Yes, I am. I'm her daughter.

I'm your daughter, too.

Why did you abandon us?

I'm sorry.

I am glad to finally meet you, though.

Can I call you Dad?

Yes, of course, my daughter.

You're no longer Noh Ha-nee.

-You're now Ryu Ha-nee.
-Dad!

I've missed you so much.

Mr. Ryu?

What?

I found your phone number
on my mom's old phone.

I'll explain in detail later,

but right now, I need your help.

I'm truly sorry about this.
This is all my fault.

Why on earth is this your fault?

Ha-nee's mom is to blame.

-Exactly.
-She didn't keep her word.

-Absolutely.
-She can't be trusted.

Here comes the guest lecturer!

-What?
-Who's that?

-Seriously?
-Oh, my.

So...

He's...

The guest lecturer for today--

Hello.

My gosh! Hey, guys!

It's Ryu Jin!

-I'm the guest lecturer for class 1-3.
-Who is it?

Hello, I'm the actor Ryu Jin.

-What?
-No way!

He's so handsome.

Look how handsome he is.

-It's Ryu Jin.
-Really? No way.

Ha-nee's mom and I
studied at the same university.

-They studied at the same school.
-You're so handsome!

-My gosh.
-Goodness.

-Really?
-I can't believe it.

Are you insane?

What was so urgent that you had to
come here and make a scene?

Everything.

Everything about you
for the past 14 years.

-What?
-You promised.

If I work with you, you promised
to tell me why you left me

as well as everything else
you went through in your life.

You...

Why does that even matter to you?

Because I want to know.

I knew every single thing
about you 14 years ago,

but now I know nothing.

So I'm curious.

And being curious frustrates me.

That's why I...

I...

It's just...

I'm just super annoyed, all right?

You're annoyed?

Whatever, okay?

Let's start with that jerk
who was just here.

I heard he's not even your husband.

What is your husband doing
that makes that jerk think he can--

My husband died.

What?

Is that what you wanted to know?

Is that what you wanted to ask?

What did you just say?

Fine.

It made me uncomfortable every time
you brought up my husband anyway.

So let me say this
while we're on the subject.

This will be the last time
you mention my dead husband.

It's offensive and disgusting.

I mean, I was just...

Can you please leave now?

Stop prying into someone else's
pain and just leave.

Do you have a girlfriend?

SPECIAL LECTURE WITH
MOVIE ACTOR RYU JIN

Childish much?

I'm in a relationship with...

my fans.

-Boring!
-Party pooper!

I only speak the truth.

-As if.
-That's a lie!

Guys, please don't waste his time
and ask him serious questions.

Okay, then in all seriousness...
Can you tell us about your first love?

-Your first love!
-Your first love!

-Tell us.
-What a joke.

Please tell us.

Who's your first love?

Well, let me think.

My first love...

Come on, tell us.

-Come on.
-Please!

Hurry up, please!

The one who made me pursue
an acting career.

If it hadn't been for her,

I never could have become an actor.

Can you tell us who she is?

-Tell us.
-Tell us more.

Yu-jin, is it?

-Dong-chan.
-What?

Out of the two, who do I resemble more?

-Thank you.
-Keep up with your studies.

-Sang-eun, is it?
-I'm not sure.

Who do you like more?

-Sorry, kids. Coming through!
-What the hell?

Jin! Will you step aside?

-Kwae-nam?
-Can I help you, sir?

I'm sorry about this,

but he needs to leave
for another job. I'm sorry.

-Jin, let's go.
-Wait, no.

-He can't leave!
-Just a second.

-Make way, please.
-Hold on a second!

-But wait...
-Kids, please step aside.

-Hey!
-No touching!

-Hold on.
-I said, no touching!

What's wrong with you all? Move!

-Please, don't go.
-Watch your step.

-Just a second.
-I want an autograph!

Seriously, Kwae-nam?

-I needed more time--
-Here.

Read this.

Because of this, people are accusing you
of being the father of a student here.

A father?

Whatever. We'll talk about it later.

What the hell?

Is she insane?

Can we please talk?

Hello, Mr. Myeong.

Did you think I'd be happy
to see you when--

Thank you for coming all this way.

Hey, what are you doing?

Jin, hold on. Why's he getting out?

Jin.

You know her?

Yes, Kwae-nam.

We went to the same university.

The same university?

It's been so long.

Hasn't it been 14 years?

But how did you know I was here?

Did you call me at work?

And why were you speaking
as the guest lecturer?

Well, you see...

Please, don't tell her.

No!

I want to be in the movie.

-What?
-What?

-The movie?
-The movie?

Ae-jeong, I want to make a movie with you.

With me?

You'll be in my movie?

Jin, thank you so much!

Thank you so much, Jin.

I can't thank you enough.

Thank you so much, Jin. Thank you.

Please tell me that was a joke.

What will you do if Ms. Song manages
to persuade James?

Well, it's not a big deal, right?
You can take it back.

It's not like you signed a contract.

Kwae-nam,

hypothetically speaking,

will I still be able to debut in Hollywood

even if people find out
that I have an illegitimate child?

Of course not.

Your career will be over
the moment they find out.

Who wants a dad to play a bodyguard?

You'll also be offered
different ad campaigns.

Instead of coffee,
you'll be modeling baby formula.

And strollers instead of cars.

Still,

won't people admire the fact
that I'm doing the right thing?

Everyone makes mistakes.

But wouldn't it be admirable
if I did the right thing?

it’s frightening that you want to
be admired for something like that.

Please don't tell me that a student
at the school is a child of yours.

Jin!

Kwae-nam?

Answer me. Tell me it's not true!

AE-JEONG, I WAS WONDERING
IF YOU WERE ALL RIGHT...

I wrote this while thinking of you.

No, that's too cheesy.

TO AE-JEONG

I like you, Ae-jeong.

-Bye, Ae-jeong.
-Sure.

Bye, I'll call you when I'm done.

Don't doze off in class.

YEAR 2006

You're quite the oddball.

Why would you try and get credit
for a class as boring as this one

all the way at my university?

It's not even close.

It takes you more than an hour,
doesn't it?

What's this song, though? I love it.

Isn't it great?
The lyrics are incredible, too.

I thought you said this wasn't working.

That's true.

But my boyfriend fixed it for me.

OH DAE-O IS AE-JEONG'S PROPERTY

I should get ready
for another interesting class.

Ms. Noh!

Hye-jin?

I bought a cake to celebrate
us completing the mission.

Gosh, you shouldn't have.

Let's hurry inside
and celebrate with the others.

-The others?
-Yes.

-The others?
-Yes.

-Is someone else joining us?
-Yes.

You're here!

I'm sorry.

You said we were going to celebrate,
so I thought you wanted everyone here.

You've got to be kidding me!

Which one is it?

The man who's driving you crazy.

It has to be one of the three.

Who's that man over there?

He seems intimidating.

Who?

I'll introduce you to him. Excuse me.

Please say hello.

-He's--
-I'm President Koo Pa-do of Nine Capital.

I'm also the movie's investor.

It's good to meet you.

I see. It's good to meet you, too.

I'm Ryu Jin.

Just so you know,
he threatened to pull his investment

unless we brought you on board
for the leading role.

I didn't see it as a threat.

It was more of a deal.

Really? So that's how you make deals.

I thought I was being threatened.

Sorry to have kept you waiting.

We'll start with the appetizer.

-Thank you.
-Now then.

Have you introduced yourselves?

-Yes, we exchanged greetings.
-I see.

-Jin?
-Is this what you were reaching for?

Right, thanks.

You know,

Dae-o had already told me about the movie.

I'm sorry. I should have
contacted you first.

I feel like I'm always in your debt.

What?

Thank you for putting your trust in me

and accepting the role.

I need to work very hard now

so that I don't leave
a stain on your career.

Gosh, there's no need
to look at me like that.

I'm doing well in life.

I'm really happy.

I'm happier than most people, you know.

So you don't need to worry about me.

Well, I'm not worried.

Why would I be? You're doing great.

You came back in my life
better than you have ever been.

So much so that you've put me to shame.

-Anyway--
-Ms. Noh.

What are you two doing in here?

Look at all this dust.

Hye-jin, when did you get so drunk?

Well,

I see you can hold your liquor.

There's no better cure for insomnia.

You must have done so many terrible things

if you can't sleep.

Sorry about that. I can't help
but think of your darker side.

I take it you're not very happy
that I'm involved in this movie.

I'm not.

I have my doubts.

What reason do you have
for wanting to invest in this movie?

You were out of snacks.

You'll need some
for the strong drink I'll be serving.

There it comes.

That was quite a long
trip to the restroom.

We're here to celebrate our movie,
so a special drink had to be served.

I appreciate your hard work, Ms. Noh.

Thank you, Mr. Koo. I'm truly grateful.

Why would you thank him
when you had to go through hell?

Actually, wasn't it you

who made her jump through the most hoops?

You've got to be kidding me.

Frankly speaking,
casting Ryu Jin was the biggest obstacle.

There's no need to involve me in this.

Still, I'm grateful that you
agreed to be in this movie

purely for the sake of our friendship.

You three are all just as bad.

Seriously.

You have no idea
how rough it was for Ms. Noh.

Look at how much weight she's lost.

It's okay, Hye-jin.
Today's a good day, isn't it?

Let's forget about the past
and drink to the future.

Mr. Jin, Ms. Noh went to
the screening event of your movie

in hopes of approaching you,

but got knocked over by the reporters.

-Mr. Cheon!
-Yes?

You put Ms. Noh through the wringer

pushing her around
with all your contract issues.

Have you any idea how difficult it was?

And Mr. Koo!

Gosh, you're terrifying.

Because of that letter you sent her,

she couldn't even once enjoy
a meal in peace.

Hye-jin, that's enough.

Enough!

I saw it all, you know.

The sweat and tears Ms. Noh had to shed.

-Hye-jin!
-Ms. Noh,

you're the best.

-I feel bad.
-You did well, Ms. Noh.

She's still the same Ae-jeong
that we remember.

Well, I'd like to be the one
who picks up the tab today

and congratulates Ms. Noh
on her achievements.

Ma'am?

Do you perhaps have a bottle
of Cabernet Franc?

If you do,
I'd like to treat everyone to it.

I knew the night wouldn't end early.

Be careful.

That's right. Watch out!

-Oh God.
-I'm going to go home!

Keep it down, will you?

Just like old times.

She hasn't changed a bit.

Hold her!

-Why did you stop?
-Move!

Take the second alley

and then turn right.

Yes, the dry cleaner's!

-This way!
-Hey!

Where to?

Let's go this way.

Who does he think he is
ordering us around?

-Dae-o, no!
-Another round?

I like karaoke.

-She's too heavy.
-Round two!

We should grab a few more drinks.

-I can't believe this.
-Let me see.

Turn right.

Aren't you Dong-chan's father?

Mr. Oh, what are you doing here?

What the hell?

They must really live in the same house.

Why are you still out here?

Ae-jeong!

Could this be...?

It's my beloved Choi Hyang-ja!

Hyang-ja, my love.

-I'll carry her inside.
-Please do.

-Hyang-ja, you...
-Be quiet.

My movie is a go, Hyang-ja.

We'll soon be able to move to a high-rise.

The high-rise underneath the stars!

It'll be ours. Ours!

-A high-rise!
-Does that mean you're--

-I'm the director--
-I'm the investor--

My goodness.

I had no idea such respectable men
were escorting her home.

-I thank you in advance.
-It's our pleasure.

Grandma, what's up with Mom?

She's totally out of it--

These are the people
working with your mom.

That being said, you should come in.

Emergency! Ms. Song called for you!

Please come in.
Let me make you some honey tea.

Mr. Ryu.

You'll come in, right?

Yes.

Hi.

You must be Ae-jeong's daughter.

Yes. Hello.

Hi.

Ma'am, I'm sorry.
I'm afraid I'll need a rain check.

-We should go.
-Let's stay for tea.

Let's go.

-Let's stay.
-Wait.

This is Ms. Noh's bag.

-Let's go.
-See you next time.

We'll be back in when
it's actually daytime.

-Okay.
-Good night.

Good night.

I was hoping to take a picture
with the movie star.

Ae-jeong isn't dead.

-Noh Ae-jeong
-Right. You aren't dead.

will not die.

Noh Ae-jeong.

This is driving me nuts.

Mr. Ryu, why do you pretend
you don't know me?

Are you avoiding me?

KWAE-NAM

Yes, what?

Jin. Wait until I get there, okay?

I'll be there soon.

What is it?

-Congratulations!
-Congratulations!

-This is great!
-I knew you'd get it.

Congratulations, Ryu.

James changed his mind.

You're going to Hollywood.

What is it? Did something happen?

I'm sorry, everyone.

I...

won't be going to Hollywood.

All of a sudden?

I received the chance to star
in a better movie.

What?

Jin.

You're here already.

Kwae-nam.

Did you know about this?

-Ms. Song.
-Pardon?

Did you know about this?

You should throw the cake at me.

I'm the one who said
I wouldn't go to Hollywood,

not him.

Mr. Park, it's me, Ryu Jin.

I have an exclusive for you.

The headline will read,

"Ryu Jin

gives up Hollywood."

Ryu.

How can you do this to me?

Things will be quiet for a while

thanks to you.

Here.

You must be hungover. You should eat well.

Mom, why are you being so nice to me?

Did I do something wrong?

How come you never told me

about your wonderful working environment?

What do you mean?

You really don't remember?

Three men carried you home.

What?

Three men carried me home?

Yes.

Let's eat.

A movie star is a movie star.

He's more handsome in person.

The investor is reserved and charismatic.

The director is...

Wait. Was he the guest lecturer
for Ha-nee's--

Someone else came instead.

It was Ryu Jin.

What? Why?

Did Cheon Eok-man bail on you?

Well, Mom. Something happened.

I thought it was great.

I got to hear about his first love.

First love?

Yes, he said this in class yesterday.

He said his first love helped him
become an actor.

-Did he?
-It must've been fun.

I should've been there.

By the way, Mom. Who's your first love?

What?

I'm curious what kind of man you're into.

Your mom is like me.

She likes someone
with well-defined features.

Goodness. Now that I think of it,
all three men from last night had--

What are you saying?

Gosh, you don't know anything.

I'm not into that type.

Okay, fine. Don't scream at me.

I guess I don't look like my dad then.

I have a big nose and big eyes.

My dad must've had small features.

If not, never mind.

Thanks for the meal.

Ae-jeong!

Hi, Yeon-woo.

Are you off to work already?

I see you just had your workout.

Ae-jeong, you don't look well today.

Really?

By the way, Yeon-woo.

Is everything okay with Ha-nee in school?

Ha-nee?

Why do you ask?

I've been so busy at work,
I haven't been able to keep up with her.

If it's all right,

I'm thinking of attending parent meetings.

That will help Ha-nee, right?

Well, I think so.

Ha-nee's adjusting really well,

so you don't have to worry.

Is that right?

It seems to me

that you're the one who isn't doing well.

You drank so much last night.

Last night, I had something to celebrate.

Last night?

Did you see me get carried home
last night?

I didn't do anything wrong, did I?

What?

Wrong?

Well, I don't know.

I'm not sure.

I guess I did.

I did something, didn't I?

Why can't I remember though?

Yeon-woo, I'm sorry.

Forget about what happened.
I'm sorry about everything.

I'll make it up to you somehow.

How?

Right. What should I do
to make it up to you?

Take me to the movies first.

You promised.

You didn't forget, did you?

Take you to the movies? Yes.

Okay.

All right.

What should we see?

Action? Comedy?

Hold on, Yeon-woo.

Hello?

I'm sorry, Ms. Song.
I should've gone to see you first.

Sorry for making you come here.

Thank you.

I wondered how splendid you must be

to make Ryu give up Hollywood.

Splendid?

No. I should work harder.

I'll do my best to make
Jin shine more brightly

in our movie than in any other movie.

I know very well when he shines the most.

I see.

That's because you went
to university with Jin.

Yes.

I looked up to him a lot
when we were in university.

Are you okay?

After Ryu made his debut,

so many people called.

Some asked him to lend them money.

Some asked him to buy stuff from them.

Do you know what I'm saying?

I don't see much difference
between you and them.

I'd say this happened
because Ryu couldn't turn a blind eye

to his struggling friend.

But I'm a businesswoman,

so I should keep a cool head.

I need to see

whether this movie is worth
giving up Hollywood for.

CASTING LIST FOR FEMALE LEAD

What is this, Ms. Noh?

It's a list of actresses
for the female lead

that Ms. Song wants us
to cast in our movie.

I'm taken aback again.

That woman is using you to bully her.

If we can get these actresses
to star in our movie,

we'd have an all-star cast.

And what if we fail to meet her demands?

Jin...

won't be able to work with us.

Pardon?

I'll talk to Ms. Song.

No, Jin. Don't do that.

I'm really okay.

I mean...

This...

I'm not okay with this.

If we can get any one of them,

it'd be a benefit, not a drawback.

Ms. Noh. You really have no clue.

You can't solve this problem
by being pushy.

You're wrong.

If I can make our film successful,
I'll stick to the job no matter what.

Gosh.

If you can't cast one of these actresses,

Thumb Film will have to pay the costs
for breaching the Hollywood contract.

I can do it.

I'll have to help.

It all happened because of me,

-so I should take care of--
-No.

It's because of me.

It was my fault to include you
in the investment conditions.

If I change my mind

and hire a different actor
to star in this film--

Are you crazy?
I rejected Hollywood for this movie.

What kind of nonsense--

Stop it. Both of you, stop.

I'll take care of this.

Don't you know how responsible Ms. Noh is?

She won't like it
if the leading actor and investor

tried to fix things for her.

What makes you think you're different?

Jin, I'm the person in charge
and the director of this movie.

You getting involved
will only irritate Ms. Song.

She's trying to get back at you.

You should back off, too.

Back off?

No.

Please stand aside a little.

You're knowledgeable about loans,
but not about the entertainment business.

It's a common problem in this industry.

Does Mr. Cheon have any good ideas then?

I'll start thinking.

Mr. Cheon, you're so naive.

You're always full of reckless enthusiasm.

But you don't even have the phone numbers
of any top movie stars.

My goodness.

All these years, he must've been stuck
in a small room, mostly writing.

There is no way that he has any connection

to resolve this situation.

CHEON EOK-MAN

CHEON EOK-MAN, NOVELIST

WHY DID CHEON EOK-MAN'S GIRLFRIEND
WIN THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE?

All right. Attention.

Attention!

That's enough, Mr. Jang.

As you know,
Mrs. Kim is on maternity leave,

so the position of PTA representative
has become vacant.

Can someone fill in for her?

If it's all right,
I'm thinking of attending parent meetings.

-I--
-Me!

Me! I stood up first.

Excuse me.

-I'm the one who stood up.
-What?

-Rock, paper, scissors!
-Scissors!

-Rock, paper, scissors!
-Yes!

Gosh.

We can't decide like this.

I feel so frustrated,
but look at what Mr. Oh's doing.

You're right.

-Your call has been forwarded to...
-Again.

Why did Jin even come to the school
if he's just going to ignore me again?

Maybe he has some important truth

that he needs to hide from you.

A "truth"?

We can meet her if we go there, right?

Yes, I checked the news and her fan club.

Joo A-rin will attend
the pop-up store opening event today.

If we go there now,

we'll barely make it and see her.

What?

Barely make it?

Gosh.

Why now?

Why are all their actresses
pregnant, married,

or charged with drink driving?

This is driving me crazy.

I told everyone that I could do it.

But do you really think

it will do any good for us to go?

I heard it takes at least six months
for her to even read your script.

A-rin, there's a camera
on the second floor by the left railing.

A-rin, 1 o'clock direction northeast.

There's a camera
in at 11 o'clock northwest.

A kid fell on the right.

It'll make a nice picture
if you help her up.

Is that right?

Sweetie, why are you crying?

What's wrong?

Mommy.

-Where's your mom?
-Mommy.

Where's her mom?

Mommy.

-Okay. Don't come.
-Mommy.

Go away.

Don't come.

Go away.

There's so much ice cream.

Was this the kind of picture
you were hoping for?

You're an angel of Asia.

Angels love kids.

Angel, my foot.

Do I look like an angel to you?

A-rin, use the ashtray.

Oh, God. It smells.

-Goodness.
-Gwang-su.

Be careful.

I'm sorry.

A-rin, you know you're an ambassador
for anti-smoking, right?

I know, so you just need to
keep your mouth shut.

What is she saying?

A-rin! Wait!

I'll empty this.

Don't smoke yet.
We don't want the ash falling.

You're making such a big fuss.

Hey, Gwang-su.

Get me something to drink.

My mouth feels dry.
Get me something refreshing.

Okay. Something refreshing.

I should really quit.

Excuse me.

Are you Joo A-rin's manager?

Maybe.

How can I help you?

-You are!
-Hello.

-Hye-jin, give it to him.
-Yes.

This is a script.

We're going to make a film.

-We'd love to work with Ms. Joo.
-Yes.

I'm Producer Noh Ae-jeong of Thumb Film.

-We've brought a film script for Ms. Joo.
-Yes.

-Please take this.
-A-rin!

-Where's my A-rin?
-Where is she?

-Where's she?
-Find her.

-Where did she go?
-Hey.

-Isn't that her manager?
-Where?

-It's her manager.
-What?

A-rin!

NATION'S SWEETHEART

GIVE ME A CHANCE
I LOVE YOU, JOO A-RIN

IT'S A-RIN

NATION'S SWEETHEART

A-RIN, YOUR UNCLE IS HERE!

WE LOVE A-RIN

I LOVE A-RIN

A-rin! Close the door!

NATION'S SWEETHEART

They're coming.

-What?
-Window! Cigarette! Hurry!

What happened? Did they see me?

I don't know. Put out the cigarette.

Why did you throw it out the window?

-Nation's sweetheart, Joo A-rin!
-Nation's sweetheart, Joo A-rin!

Where have you been?

You look really terrible.

We went to see an actress,

and almost got crushed to death
by her fans.

An actress?

Who?

The one who is full of moving stories,
Joo A-rin.

Joo A-rin?

ANGEL OF ASIA JOO A-RIN
HAS A HEART OF AN ANGEL

She's talented and kind-hearted.

She looks good.

Yes, we have no other choice
but Joo A-rin.

All the other actresses are preoccupied.

-All of them?
-Yes, all of them.

I see.

Ms. Song gave you
only the ones who can't make it.

No. It's just a coincidence.

They're all really hot actresses.

How come you're so naive?

I can't even leave you alone for a moment.

You're like a kid playing in the water.

Hye-jin, you must be going through a lot.

You say you're sick and tired of her,

but you're actually
worried about her, right?

-No.
-No.

Get a hold of yourself.

Mind your own business.

Goodness.

So annoying.

Sure, take it out on me.

Hey.

Don't get me wrong.

I'm not worried about you.

I said what I said

as a director who is frustrated
with the current situation.

Don't get the wrong idea
and fall in love with me.

Man, this is hilarious.

You're so full of yourself.

I deserve to be full of myself.

Look at me. Look how tall...

Well, I'm average height.

But my looks are...

Right.

I have sensibility instead.

The most important trait in a good man
is his sensibility.

What?

It's raining.

Do you want me to take you home?

No, thanks. Be on your way.

I'll get Joo A-rin on board

no matter what, so butt out.

Hey!

Ae-jeong!

What's this?

Can't you see? It's an umbrella.

I bought it.

I'm not as young as I was,
and I have social status,

so I can't pull that out again.

What's wrong? Did you fall for me?

Here. Take it.

Forget it. You can take it.

Hey.

You should've taken it.

You'll have to walk
after getting off the bus anyway.

YEAR 2005

Darn rain. Why is it raining so much?

This isn't good. I'm late.

Oh, no.

Ae-jeong!

Hey.

Where did you get that?

I have quite a large umbrella.
Would you like to share it with me?

Hey, did you take this umbrella

from there?

Yes, you're right.

Gosh. Hey.

What's wrong?

Did you fall for me?

What? You really must have.

But then again, I do look pretty cool.

Hey, you! What are you doing?

Hey!

Hey, what will you do?

I'm in big trouble!

Ae-jeong, hurry up! Let's run!

TRANSCRIPTION RELAY CHALLENGE

Is this something similar
to that Ice Bucket Challenge?

Is this like that challenge
where celebrities dared each other?

Forget it. You don't need to pretend
like you're interested.

The organization that's hosting it

desperately begged me to make you
their first runner,

so I just asked.

After all, I have no control over you
despite being your agent.

You've turned down pretty much
every suggestion that I've--

Let's do this.

Let's do it tonight.

Afterward, I can dare
whomever I want, right?

It's my choice, right?

Yes.

Great.

Jin, I got your phone fixed.

Not that you can
do anything with it anymore.

AE-JEONG'S DAUGHTER IMAGE ATTACHMENT

JIN, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU

This is a text my mom sent you


What did she have to tell you?

You know something, don't you?

Do you know my dad?

So you're going to keep ignoring me?

MR. RYU JIN

What?

Hello?

Hey, I'm Mr. Ryu Jin's manager.

-Sorry?
-I have one favor.

Please don't contact him ever again.

There's nothing he can do to help you.

Finding your dad is none of his--

Excuse me.

Perhaps, you shouldn't look for your dad.

There must be a reason why
he hasn't contacted you up to this--

Hello?

Hello?

AE-JEONG'S DAUGHTER

Kwae-nam.

What have you done?

Let's turn a blind eye until the end.

I'm your manager.

I have to protect everything
that you've accomplished so far.

Kwae-nam.

Not like this.

You should go home.

What will you do if Ms. Song finds out?

-You'll bee--
-Kwae-nam!

All right.

Look. Just keep denying everything.

-I'll take care of--
-Kwae-nam.

How dare you?

-Look--
-You could've just said no.

-Ha-nee--
-Who are you

to tell me not to find my own dad?

AE-JEONG'S DAUGHTER

DO YOU KNOW MY DAD?

What did she have to tell you?

Gosh, my head is k*lling me.

Where is it?

JIN, I'M GOING HOME.
LET'S FORGET ABOUT YESTERDAY.

TO AE-JEONG

Yeon-woo.

-Hey.
-Hey.

I'm sorry. I'm very late, right?

No, there's still time.

We're late.

-Let's hurry.
-Okay.

This is huge!

Gwang-su, it's my day off today.

A-rin, that's not important right now.

Check this out. You were nominated.

HELLO, THIS IS CHEON EOK-MAN.

Hello, Joo A-rin.

I am Cheon Eok-man, the writer.

For this Transcription Relay Challenge,

I decided to nominate you.

Here.

Do you see this? Through this opportunity,

I'd like you to join me

-on my debut movie.
-Mr. Oh?

A-rin, why are you looking through
your high school yearbook?

All right. Imagine meeting me again
after 14 years.

Do you think you'd recognize me?

KO HYO-SIM

This is you?

Answer me.

So was there something going on
between you and Mr. Cheon?

Just answer me. Would you recognize me?

Okay.

I'm not sure. I don't think I would
unless you told me.

Really?

Everything about you is fake.
Your name, age, and personality...

Anyway, unless you showed him your ID,

I doubt he'd recognize you.

Really?

-Let's do it.
-What?

Let's reply back to him.

I'm going to do
that subscription challenge.

Oh, it's "transcription",
not "subscription."

Better yet,

tell him I'd like to meet him.

Tell him I, Joo A-rin,
will go meet Cheon Eok-man.

It's so hard to make a living.

What? It's Joo A-rin.

Mr. Cheon, thank you for allowing me
to participate in this challenge.

I'd be honored to be a part of your movie.

Let's use this opportunity
to meet in person.

What?

She replied back right away. "Honored"?

Am I that great?

Yes, of course.

I've been to Hollywood. Right.

It totally makes sense
that she wants to work with me.

Yes.

Maybe I shouldn't have said those things
in my video.

Gosh, this is embarrassing.

You guys looked down on me.

First, I should see how Ae-jeong reacts.

Yeon-woo.

-Yes?
-You have something on you.

Here?

No.

Let me.

Your call cannot be reached.
Please leave a message after...

What is she doing with her phone off?

She has no idea what she's in for.

I bet she'll be so excited.

Yeon-woo, what did you think
about the movie?

I haven't felt this warm inside
in a very long time.

I loved that director
ever since I was young.

I guess it was okay.

Come on. You've been saying that
all night.

"Yes, it was nice."

"Sure."
That's all you've been saying tonight.

Tell me what you thought. I'm curious.

It was...

good.

I should call my mom
and see what she and Ha-nee are up to.

What? "Oh Dae-o?"

Why did he call me so many times?

I'm sorry. I need to make a call.

What?

I'm not sure how the movie was.

I don't remember

anything.

What?

I think

I like you a lot.

The more I think about it,
the angrier I get.

GUEST APPEARANCE BY KIM KWANG-KYU

It took me 14 years
for me to give this to you.

I don't care how long it takes.

I want to be the one next to you
in the end.

I saw your gaze.

Are you two going out or something?

I haven't thought of anyone else
for this role except for you, Ms. Joo.

About Ms. Noh...

Is there any reason we need her
for the movie?

But talking to you,
it feels as though we've become friends.

The nation's sweetheart.

He's my dad.

How could you do this to me?

I still love you.
