What in the world are you covering?
I guess the headline will be
"The Two-faced Domestic ab*ser."
Who's the domestic ab*ser?
It's a secret.
I need to protect my source.
I'll be home late.
EPISODE 6
I…
I have something to ask you.
By any chance,
do you know a boy named Jung Ki-h*?
Jung Ki-h*?
No, I don't.
Who is he?
Well, he's…
We were in the same class
back on Chunsam Island.
He once said
the same exact thing as you just said.
If you wish for something
with all your heart
One way or another,
it'll come true one day?
So that's why.
Come on.
That's what all moms tell their kids.
Is that so?
Of course.
They say their wishes will come true.
Would you tell them they won't?
What are you still doing here?
It's nothing. Let's go upstairs.
Let's go.
Slowly and carefully.
Careful, now.
One, two.
One, two.
That's me.
But why is Bo-geol in the photo too?
Who is it?
It's me.
Let's get out of here.
You.
You know, don't you?
Why are you and Mom there too?
Is he my
No.
Is he our father?
Answer me!
Let's talk once we get out.
I'll explain everything.
Everything?
Yes, everything.
Where the hell is he?
Jung Ki-h*!
Where is he?
Open up.
Open the door!
Open up this instant.
These rotten brats.
- Father!
- Father!
Honey!
What's wrong? Let's just talk it out!
Mom!
Come here!
- Bong-wan!
- Chae-h*!
- Honey, stop it!
- Come here, you brat!
Please, don't!
Honey, please stop.
Your homeroom teacher called, Ki-h*,
and said they found this in your locker.
How could a cop's son steal money?
He didn't steal it. He saved it.
For a birthday gift.
He secretly worked part-time
to buy you a birthday gift. Right?
I see!
We're so proud of Ki-h*. Right, dear?
Chae-h*!
What did I say I hated the most?
It was making up ridiculous lies!
Father.
I saved up to run away.
- What are you talking about?
- That's not true.
It's not true.
Run away?
I'm a cop.
A cop who chases
culprits that steal billions
to the ends of the earth to catch them!
You wouldn't exist if it weren't for me.
If it weren't for me,
you would've all starved to death
in the streets! If it wasn't for me
You should've just disappeared!
Then, we would've been happy.
What did you say?
Even if we were in the streets
and even if we starved to death,
we would've been a lot happier!
Bong-wan!
That's when you hurt your head.
You were unconscious for quite some time.
Are you awake?
Do you recognize me?
You'd lost all your memory
when you woke up.
It's me. Mom.
Mom said it was a gift from God.
She said God felt sorry for giving
such a terrible father to a kind boy,
and that's why your memory was erased.
She said we should fill up
that empty space with fond memories.
That's why everything was fabricated.
My memory, name,
and our father.
Right.
You all suffered so much just for me.
That wasn't necessarily the case.
We could forget thanks to you.
Because the person who wanted
to erase those days the most wasn't you.
It was me.
Let's get
our names back.
No, we can't.
If Father finds out, he'll look for us
Let him.
I dare him to hurt us.
- Woo-hak.
- Listen.
We were young back then, so Father
No.
So that man could beat us.
But we're adults now.
I can handle him on my own.
Please don't do this.
Why do you keep saying no?
Why must we hide?
Let's put him behind bars.
We can get our names back
and tell Mok-ha that we found Ki-h*.
- Why can't we do that?
- If we do that…
our entire family will be destroyed.
What do you mean?
Ki-h*.
How long…
can a secret remain a secret?
If we cover the secret
under layers of lies…
can we keep the secret
from surfacing?
Goodness. The drought this spring
just won't end.
I truly hope
this peaceful moment
granted to us by the secret
will pass slowly.
I hope
it will last
for a long time.
SECRETS VS. LIES
My goodness!
What's wrong?
Gosh.
I was dreaming.
What kind of dream?
A boar
was chasing me.
Really?
Do they consider that a pig dream too?
Gosh.
Mom! Dad!
Bo-geol! Let's eat!
Did you make all of this yourself?
Yeah. The soup will get cold,
so eat before you shower.
Dad likes a lot of broth.
Mom and Bo-geol like
lots of ingredients, right?
What's the matter with you?
Whatever it is, no.
What do you mean?
This is unlike yourself.
So it's one of two things.
Either you got yourself
in trouble or you're planning to.
My answer is no. No matter what.
Come on. Let's just let him. Go ahead.
It's okay.
I don't know what it is, but it's okay.
You can't say yes without knowing.
It's obvious. He got in trouble,
or it's about stocks.
I won't allow it.
We're dirt poor.
Let's just hear him out.
What is it?
Do you need a lot of money?
You can tell me.
I made it for no reason.
I'm just grateful for everything.
- Woo-hak.
- When you act all nice,
don't you know you scare us?
No, I didn't. I should do better then.
Preparing breakfast once
for us won't cut it.
You should clean and do laundry too.
And stop buying the same clothes as me.
You're really milking it, aren't you?
All right.
Let's eat.
Come in.
Where's Woo-hak?
He just left.
What is it? Are you worried
he really got in trouble?
No, that's not why.
Yesterday,
Mok-ha asked me…
if I knew Jung Ki-h*.
What?
I must've said something by mistake.
I thought you should know.
What if she finds out who we are?
Mom,
do you remember
when Mok-ha almost got hurt
at Seoul Station?
Yes, I do.
Some bad person followed her there.
That was…
Father.
Father?
That man?
How did he know?
He must've seen the news.
That's why
we must protect her.
Yes.
We should.
Mok-ha wanted
to become a singer.
What if he sees her?
We can protect her.
We can.
I just placed the order for your albums.
I received pre-orders for the re-release
through the distributor,
and the demand is pretty high.
Yoon Ran-joo, you've still got it.
Well…
I've always had it.
They'll be distributed
next week at the earliest.
We can estimate the sales
with a "no refund" policy.
So I'll keep you updated.
You were always so quick
with taking care of business.
Just make sure to promote your albums
the best you can once they're released.
Seeing as you're stating the obvious,
it's time to hang up.
Keep me updated on the number of sales.
How may I help you?
Is Mok-ha home?
Yes.
You met Ki-h*?
Yeah.
You met him?
In person?
Yes.
He's happily married.
He wanted me to thank you
for remembering him.
Are you sure it was him?
He wanted you to have this.
He said you'd know.
Here's your music video.
It's him, right?
It is
Ki-h*.
Did you tell him
his father was looking for him?
Yes.
He's aware of it.
He said don't worry
and just become a singer.
He said he'd be rooting for you from afar.
From afar?
Yes.
From afar.
You kept talking about Ki-h*,
so I thought he was some great guy.
But he was just so-so.
I guess he fell off.
Right, you don't know what that means.
It's when someone turns out
to be less than appealing.
- That's what it means.
- I understand.
I get it.
What?
Thanks.
I understand now.
Sure.
Mok-ha!
President Hwang said the pre-orders
for my album are off the charts.
What?
Is that the song arrangement
for this week?
No.
This is my video Ki-h* took
for the fan video contest
fifteen years ago.
Goodness. Where did you get it?
Woo-hak gave it to me.
He said he got it from Ki-h*.
Ki-h*? Did he really find Ki-h*?
Whether he actually found Ki-h* or not,
I'm not really sure.
What do you mean?
You said Reporter Kang met him.
Where does he live?
Apparently, he's married
and living happily somewhere.
I didn't think about that.
So that's why he didn't look for you.
Ran-joo.
Back on Chunsam Island,
there was something Ki-h* said to me.
He said his mother used to say it to him.
"If you wish for something
with all your heart,
one way or another,
it'll come true one day."
"And it'll happen in an unexpected way."
Hey.
That's not right.
No matter how desperate you are,
you can't love a married man.
It'd be a disaster.
It's a terrible thing to do!
But Ms. Song from the salon
said the exact same thing.
I thought you were planning
on seducing a married man.
What? Ms. Song said the same thing?
The same thing Ki-h*'s mother used to say?
Is this a coincidence?
Woo-hak and Producer Kang were the ones
who found me on the deserted island.
And their mother
said the exact same thing
Ki-h*'s mother used to always say.
What are the odds of that?
If it's not a coincidence,
are you saying
one of them is Ki-h*?
That's not very likely.
What exactly is the probability
of that being likely?
REASONS FOR CHANGING ONE'S NAME
HOW TO REGISTER FAMILY RELATIONS
CHANGING ONE'S IDENTITY
Hey, Kang Woo-hak
with coverage on the Han River.
Yes, sir?
A strange car crash occurred there.
- Look into it if it's intriguing.
- Yes, sir.
What's with you?
Sorry?
Why are you so obedient?
"Get some grunt
to cover those news briefs."
"Is it even worth it?"
"Why are you only picking on me?"
That's what you always say.
No, sir.
I should obey my superiors
and do as they say.
Are you sick?
What's wrong? You're making me worried.
So this really is how people think me.
I should do better then.
What kind of crash was it?
Hornets don't cause accidents.
People do!
We're just saying what happened.
Hornets got into the car,
and he crashed while trying
to shoo them away. That's what we mean.
Are you telling me
hornets flew into his car
in the middle of Seoul?
It's pretty rare,
but it does happen occasionally.
Hello. My name's Kang Woo-hak.
I'm a reporter with YGN.
Goodness, I'm so glad you're here!
Now that there's a reporter present,
why don't you properly explain
what happened?
But we already explained everything.
We searched the car and the scene.
But we couldn't find the memory card.
It seems he drove without one in place.
That's exactly what I don't understand.
My husband is an insurance broker.
He may forget about me, his wife,
but he'd never forget to insert
a memory card into his dashcam.
Someone deliberately removed it.
I'm sure of it!
I'm certain.
Who in the world would do that?
The one who caused the accident!
On the 4th, at 9:00 p.m.,
a man in his 30s was driving through
an underpass in Gangjung-gu, Seoul
when the vehicle suddenly lost control
and crashed into a pillar.
The driver, Han,
is in critical condition
and has yet to regain consciousness.
The police believe
Han crashed while he was trying
to chase away hornets
that entered the vehicle.
They are looking for witnesses
to investigate the cause of the crash.
For YGN News, I'm Kang Woo-hak.
My eyes fix
Upon the blue world
Take me
Into that dream
In every place
And in every moment
Perhaps I was the one
Who saw you as the light
You're in the wind
That brushes past me
You envelope me in your blue scent
The icon of reclimbing the charts.
The legendary diva.
Yoon Ran-joo is with us
in the studio today.
Welcome.
- Thank you for inviting me.
- It's our honor.
We get a lot of requests
for your songs these days.
The way they're topping
the charts is astounding.
You've sold a lot of albums too, right?
Yes, I have 40,000 albums left to sell
to reach 20 million in total.
- That's what I've heard.
- I see.
At this rate,
I think you'll easily reach
that goal in a month.
I'd be grateful, but the challengers
become more fearsome every week.
Goodness, you're too humble.
I lit the stars in the night sky for you
I remember how your gaze embraced me
So you're on Heyday Again.
- This week's your fourth challenge, right?
- Yes.
Did you hear who your opponent is?
No, not yet.
I wonder which year
I'll be competing against.
I know though.
Really? Which year?
Do you want to watch the preview?
I secretly got my hands
on this week's preview for Heyday Again.
That'd be great.
Show me.
Here you go.
To stop Yoon Ran-joo's
four-week winning streak,
an incredible star
has made their way to Heyday Again.
What kind of singer do you want to be?
My wish
is to become the next Yoon Ran-joo.
She was called
"The next Yoon Ran-joo" in 2008.
She's the 21st century's top diva
who skyrocketed to fame.
Eun Mo-rae!
A match between the legend, Yoon Ran-joo,
and Eun Mo-rae,
the top diva of the 21st century.
Catch it live on Friday,
April 21, at 9 p.m.
on Heyday Again.
Eun Mo-rae isn't the top diva
of the 21st century.
Exactly!
She's just one lucky girl
who received too much success
for her character and talent.
And how does this make any sense?
What's the premise of Heyday Again?
"The present you must beat the past you,
and then, you'll enjoy another heyday."
Exactly. Eun Mo-rae isn't my past self.
Being the next Yoon Ran-joo
doesn't mean she's me.
Tell me about it.
Why would they change
the show's format just for her?
What's so great about her?
She is that great.
If we can have her on our show,
not only can I change the format
but also everyone on the show
except for me. Right?
- Totally.
- Yes.
Yeon-kyung, I would even replace myself.
Don't you agree?
What?
Yes, you're right.
This isn't right.
At the very least,
you should've asked us
before making this decision.
- Goodness.
- Gosh!
- Hello.
- Please sit down.
Would you like coffee?
We have green tea too.
Dong-min, we can't serve
canned coffee to our precious guest.
Here. Hurry on.
My apologies.
What will it be?
Iced Americano? Iced latte?
Iced latte, please.
Iced latte.
I didn't know you were here.
This is great.
I thought maybe I had to
meet you separately.
We can talk right now.
Thank you for making
such a difficult decision.
It wasn't that hard.
You never suggest things for no reason.
Of course, there is a reason.
To be honest…
"We need to stop Ran-joo
from topping the charts again."
"We must protect our shares
and keep control away from her."
"We're in the same boat."
They're not these simple reasons, right?
But they are.
Is that so?
How disappointing.
But that's your problem, not mine.
It's also your problem.
Ran-joo wants to help
a rookie become a singer.
A rookie?
Who is it?
Do you remember the name
Seo Mok-ha?
Goodness.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Ms. Eun said
she would appear on the show
under one condition.
What could it be?
I'd love to hear what it is.
Before I tell you, please keep this quiet.
Of course.
Should we write up a memorandum?
"A compensation
of 300 million won if leaked."
You can just give me your word.
For the live broadcast,
Ms. Eun would like to
sing live lip-sync.
Live is live. Lip-syncing is lip-syncing.
Those two don't go together.
It means you pre-record the song
and lip-sync to it
during the live broadcast.
It's understandable.
If she makes a mistake while live
because she's nervous…
We can't edit a live show,
so why not edit it beforehand?
Well…
This is unprecedented.
But I think we can do that
since it's Eun Mo-rae.
What's your take on this?
I'm all for it.
Ms. Eun is a global star.
She's right.
I believe we should do this
to boost national prestige.
That's right.
What's your take on this, Producer Kang?
I agree with you all.
Hold on.
One will sing with AR
while the other will do it live.
That's not fair!
We should play by the rules.
Is that so?
Then, should we play by the rules?
Fair and square?
I got the advantage
of knowing your secret.
So why would I waste it in one go?
Thank you.
I'm a bit afraid.
This world is all about balance.
We have two superstars on our show,
Yoon Ran-joo and Eun Mo-rae.
This means we'll have bad luck too.
Jeez, don't jinx it.
If this episode flops, it's all on you.
Eun Mo-rae will win for sure.
Her fan club has 300,000 members,
and on social media,
- she has 40 million followers.
- What?
I'm telling you!
We can't assume anything.
They seem to be archenemies.
This episode is going to be a total hit.
Let's just hope that's the case.
We just need to sit back and enjoy.
Why don't we enjoy ourselves already?
How about tteokbokki for lunch?
It's on me.
No, let's have something light.
Knowing that Eun Mo-rae will be
on our show, I'm not even hungry.
So could you please give me back my card?
You're so cheap.
- What?
- Nothing.
That trash can is used for venting.
I've kicked it a few times too.
Why do you keep changing your tune?
Whether it's ignoring or comforting me,
just stick to one.
Stop confusing me.
Based on your throat stroboscopy,
the surgery was a success.
Your throat isn't swollen at all.
So what's the problem?
That's your job as a doctor.
I can't really hit the high notes.
It takes too much time
and effort for me to sing.
What do you mean? I saw you on TV,
and you hit the high notes just fine.
How do I put it?
There's a subtle difference
that only I can detect.
That's psychological.
Everything is fine physically.
Psychological?
Some people lose their voices
when they feel too stressed or pressured.
Does your fame stress you out?
I'm not famous.
Give me your autograph since you're here.
You're so popular nowadays.
No one should know I was here.
All right.
Also, I heard that this time,
you're going up against Eun Mo-rae.
- Can you get her autograph
- Hey!
Look, Seong-chan is a fan of hers.
He bought 16 of her albums
to collect her photocards.
Seong-chan is so foolish.
You know her albums
are wrapped in PVC, right?
They're not recyclable.
He's still a kid.
He and the other fans
are going to choose her
in the upcoming voting.
What a commotion.
I am stressed indeed.
It already feels stifling.
This is ridiculous.
You want me to release
a digital single instead of an album?
We'll start off with digital singles.
We'll later put them into an album
Don't fool me with your words.
That nobody Mo-rae's releasing one,
so why aren't we releasing mine?
- It's not that we aren't. We can't.
- "We can't"?
We invested two billion won
into your album last year,
and we lost of 1.1 billion.
We spent 90 million on Mo-rae's single
and profited 1.2 billion.
What would you do if you were me?
You've been evaluating me
based on numbers?
If I had, I wouldn't have released
your 16th album!
We've been suffering a loss
since your 15th album!
This is as far as my loyalty goes.
You should thank Mo-rae
for helping you at least release
your digital single.
You're no longer
RJ Entertainment's cash cow.
It's the nobody Mo-rae.
I asked you for too many autographs.
I'm sorry. You must be tired.
Not at all.
Please let me know if you need more.
Thanks.
I heard you'll be competing
against Ran-joo on Heyday Again.
Competing?
That's too harsh.
It's just us here.
What will you be singing?
Isn't that Yoon Ran-joo's debut song?
Yes.
I really loved
that song.
I think I know now
What do you think?
She's not as good as Seo Mok-ha,
but she's not bad.
What did you say?
I want to do a remake
of your debut song, "Open Your Eyes."
Don't. Choose some other song.
I'm even thinking
about making it my lead single.
Don't you have any self-respect?
Why would you use
my song as your lead single?
Well…
I just want to be like you
and follow your steps
Follow my steps? You're already ahead.
Ran-joo.
It's true.
She's the cash cow
of our agency.
Forget it.
I'm against it too.
It's your first album.
Let's go with an original song.
Hold on.
Why do you dislike me?
It's not that I dislike you.
You just don't suit that song.
Then, who does?
Maybe Seo Mok-ha?
Why are you bringing her up?
You said I was her substitute.
I did? When?
You never said it outright.
But you said it with your eyes
thousands of times.
"She's not as good as Seo Mok-ha."
"She won't do
since she's just Seo Mok-ha's substitute."
I don't suit your song,
because I'm her substitute.
But it suits Mok-ha!
Right?
Yeah.
Now that I think of it,
I think she'll fit the song.
What do you think? Do you like it?
Goodness.
How refreshing.
You're the best.
Ms. Cha.
Will you do my makeup for the live show?
You bet.
Are you done cleaning up?
I just need to throw this away.
Let me throw it away for you.
- But
- It's heavy.
- Thank you.
- Can you take a seat here?
Sure.
I've worked
with countless people in the past.
But I've never seen anyone
as dexterous and smart as you.
Goodness.
Thank you.
I'm home.
Did you have dinner?
Yes, I did.
Can you take down the blankets?
I completely forgot.
Okay.
You're a bright girl.
I know you can become
a hairdresser if you study hard.
I know you want to become a singer,
but I'm sure you know.
They don't give people
your age a chance that easily.
They almost never do.
But…
You were rooting for me
up until recently.
You said I'd be a singer one day
if I wished for it with all my heart.
Well, you know.
We easily root for strangers.
But we become realistic
when they become close to us.
I care about you much more now.
Do you understand?
There's no age limit for hairdressers.
And you can start late too.
I started way past 30 and look at me.
I was able to run
my own salon in ten years.
Forget what she said
about becoming a hairdresser.
You're definitely not him.
What?
You see,
up until recently,
I thought you could've been Ki-h*.
But looking at your eyes,
I know for sure now.
You're definitely not
Jung Ki-h*.
That's right. I'm not him.
But why not?
I'm not trying to argue or anything.
I'm just…
I'm just curious.
How did his eyes look?
Then, I'll leave this island
with you.
He was unwavering and determined.
He had a strong and reliable gaze.
I could rely on him.
Are you saying I seem weak and unreliable?
That's right.
You're wishy-washy and confusing.
You're a mutt crying in front of a puddle,
not knowing what to do.
You're weak and pathetic.
At times, it feels like you're on my side.
Then, you suddenly act so distant.
At times, you say what's on your mind.
Then, you suddenly become
a tight-lipped coward.
I have no idea what you're thinking about.
You talk very well.
Did you just realize that?
Then, why didn't you say anything
to Park Yong-gwan?
He was obviously being unfair,
so why didn't you confront him?
That was because…
I had my reason.
What reason?
An unavoidable reason.
I can't tell you.
Is that so?
I also have one. An unavoidable reason.
Goodness.
BROTHERS SALON
Why do you keep saying no?
Why must we hide?
We can get our names back
and tell Mok-ha that we found Ki-h*.
- Why can't we do that?
- If we do that…
our entire family will be destroyed.
What do you mean?
What is it?
Did we start anew
because we did something bad?
We had no other choice.
We do have other choices.
We'll change our names
and social security numbers.
The law will protect us.
There was no law like that back then.
No matter what we did,
he could find us back then
just for being our father.
Young-ju, it's me.
I just met with Ki-h*'s father.
I'm afraid he'll reach out to Mok-ha
just to find Ki-h*. What do we do?
Do you think
we should tell Ki-h* about this?
Why is he so determined to find him?
He's already moved on and happy.
He's moved on and happy?
What should we do?
Shouldn't we reach out
to Mok-ha and let her know?
HAIRDRESSER EXAMS 101
You're still awake?
Yes.
Have you suddenly become Ran-joo's fan?
I've been playing this song on repeat.
It makes me happy when I hear it.
Care to listen?
Sure.
So…
How does her voice sound compared to mine?
Do you need some comfort or honesty?
The latter.
She's definitely a singer.
I feel her emotions through her voice.
Are you saying my voice
doesn't have any emotions?
It does.
But experience is something you gain.
Ran-joo sounds different
from her past self too.
That's experience.
Is that so?
In that case,
will I be able to sing like her
once I gain some experience?
Of course.
You don't need a lot either.
It's a very fine difference in skill.
I can tell the difference,
but most people can't.
You have an odd way…
of comforting others.
Is that so?
This song will make you feel even better.
I want to fill up your crystal heart
I'll follow you as my light
You sound pretty similar.
You're gaining experience.
Don't worry I won't resent you
Once we walk side by side
I'll confess my love for you
I lit the stars in the night sky for you
I remember how your gaze embraced me
Beautiful teardrops
I want to fill up your crystal heart
I'll follow you as my light
What are you doing?
Practicing self-affirmations.
I'm a wave.
I'm a humongous wave
that'll sweep Eun Mo-rae away.
Sit down and try it.
It may seem corny, but it really works.
Sit down
and close your eyes.
Tell yourself that you're strong
and that your opponent is weak.
I'm a wave.
I'm Seo Mok-ha from a deserted island.
Eun Mo-rae is the boar that found its way
onto the deserted island.
What? I thought that was just a dream.
YOU ARE MY FUTURE
MO-RAE, YOU SHINE BRIGHTLY
MO-RAET'S GO!
Bo-geol!
Where's Yeon-kyung?
There's a meeting with the camera staff.
She's not picking up.
Hello? Yeon-kyung?
Who is this?
What? An ambulance?
What? What do you mean?
They said her appendix burst.
How is she right now?
The patient is on her way to the hospital
and can't pick up the phone.
I can. Let me see it.
- Sure.
- I can talk.
Who is this?
Hey, Producer Kang.
Take charge
of today's show.
Make sure to cater to Eun Mo-rae.
Hey, I'm the executive producer.
If you leave out
my name in the credits, you're dead…
- I'm dying here.
- Okay.
I won't.
Don't worry about us. Bye.
I knew things were looking up
too much for her lately.
I'll be in the monitoring room.
Send me the filming plans.
All right.
Good luck.
Her fans are just like her.
They're so extreme and lack manners.
How am I supposed to walk through them?
Should we just go
to the basement parking lot?
Should we do that?
You're filming today, right? Good luck.
We have 30,000 more albums to go.
I'm a wave.
I'll just cut through them.
Okay.
I'm a wave.
It's Yoon Ran-joo!
Hello.
You're so pretty.
You're so pretty, Ran-joo.
You're still in your heyday.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Long time no see, Ran-joo. Go on in.
Ran-joo, you're the best!
You can do it!
You're the best!
I love your latest song.
You're the best, Ran-joo!
I'll go now.
Hold on.
Ran-joo is still posing.
Exactly.
- Eun Mo-rae!
- Eun Mo-rae!
- Eun Mo-rae!
- Eun Mo-rae!
I'm sorry.
I arrived too early, didn't I?
I should've come out after you went in.
I know.
You're too early,
and she's too late.
Why are you guys so horrible with timing?
- Yes, Ran-joo?
- Say hello. This is Eun Mo-rae.
She's Seo Mok-ha.
Ms. Seo Mok-ha.
Hello.
Hello. It's nice to meet you.
You should thank her
instead of greeting her.
If she'd come on time,
you wouldn't be here.
Smile. They're taking photos of you.
Eun Mo-rae edited her voice quite a bit.
No one can beat this.
Not even Mariah Carey.
Bo-geol.
We just checked
Eun Mo-rae's live lip-sync file.
Shouldn't both contestants come
to the projection room and check?
Okay, I'll go up now.
Goodness.
I must've gone
to the wrong room. I'm sorry.
Ms. Seo.
What is it?
I was always curious.
Do you also agree with Ran-joo?
About what?
About that fan video contest 15 years ago.
Had you come on time,
you would've taken my spot.
Do you think it was that easy
for me to become a star?
I'm Seo Mok-ha from a deserted island.
Eun Mo-rae is the boar that found its way
onto the deserted island.
What? I thought that was just a dream.
No.
Goodness.
So you were on that island with a boar?
How did you run away?
There was no place I could run away to.
Then, what did you do?
Running away isn't always the best option.
So I…
just caught it.
Why aren't you answering me?
Do you think it was that easy for me?
Of course not.
However,
you do seem
extremely anxious.
Me? Anxious?
If you were confident,
you wouldn't use a cheap trick
like live lip-syncing.
Don't you agree?
Seo Mok-ha!
You must be insane.
No, I'm not.
I'm finally thinking straight!
If you sing live and beat Ran-joo today,
then I'll acknowledge it.
"I wouldn't have been able
to take her spot
even if I had come on time."
I'll accept it right away.
- How dare you talk
- Can Ms. Eun and Ms. Yoon
come to the projection room, please?
BROTHERS SALON
Goodness. Thank you.
What? Woo-hak!
Please don't tell your mom, okay?
I smoke every now and then too.
Not me.
It's my first time in a year.
All right. I won't tell her.
But Dad.
What?
I have a favor to ask.
Sure. I'm all ears.
Do you need money?
Is there something you want to buy?
- Dad.
- Yes?
I've regained my memory.
What?
So…
please be honest with me.
Do you think Ms. Yoon will win today?
I don't think so. I know she'll win.
You're certain.
That's right.
I prefer things to be black and white.
Me too.
No, Ran-joo.
By the way, where's Yeon-kyung?
Well…
She called in sick,
so I'll be directing the show today.
I see.
I look forward to working together.
Did Producer Hong keep you up to date?
Yes. She told me to cater to you.
Does that mean this script
is based on our live lip-sync?
Correct.
Your parts will be based
on this script. However…
you'll both perform live.
Producer Kang.
I know our names are fake.
So tell me how we got them.
Hey.
Who said they were fake?
They're our real names.
They really are.
You're my biological child.
You're my son, okay?
I know you had no choice. So please.
Please tell me the truth.
I'm a reporter, Dad.
Let's say you had
no choice but to lip-sync.
And I understand that you want
to show your best side to your fans.
But this is a contest.
It's not fair for one side to sing live
and the other to lip-sync.
What is this?
We already talked this through
with Producer Hong.
I'm the producer in charge today.
Are you a some kind of thug or what?
What are you doing?
I'm out.
Wait, Mo-rae!
Look, Producer Kang!
There are a lot of reporters outside.
I'll have to explain to them
why Ms. Eun won't be appearing.
What should I say?
Should I be honest and say
she wasn't confident enough to sing live?
Since we're talking about being fair,
those two are
Yes, you two.
I won't allow you to lip-sync.
What? Hold on. Lip-sync?
I have never lip-synced
Enough with the lies now.
I get you had good intentions
and no other choice.
But a lie is a lie.
If you keep it up,
your weakness will grow
and you'll have to stay silent.
And eventually, it'll be out of control.
So if Ms. Yoon wins this match…
I want you to go up on stage, Ms. Seo.
Go up and be honest
about who has been singing
all this time.
CASTAWAY DIVA
What do you think we should do?
You have a knack for turning
an opportunity into a risk.
You can turn it back into an opportunity.
I'm pretty much rolling out
the red carpet for Seo Mok-ha's debut.
I have something
to apologize to the viewers for.
I'll never steal your stage.
Today is your stage, not mine.
- Without any worries or concerns.
- Has this ever happened to you?
When your heart is about to burst
just by thinking about something?
I'll begin now. Get ready.
Action.
