[theme music playing]

TAKE CHARGE OF MY HEART

[gentle music playing]

[gasps]

Ugh, you reek of booze.

Oh. Uh, I'm… I'm sorry.

Ah! [gasps]

[music builds to a crescendo]

[music fades]

[gasps]

[drum roll]

-[grunts]
-[h*-rang breathing heavily]

-Move! Get off me.
-[yelps]

[h*-rang] Jeez.

[Bo-bae breathing heavily]

Look I, I swear, uh,

it's so dark in here
and I couldn't see anything

and I'm really drunk right now, and…

Just get out.

Okay.

-But are you sure you--
-I said go!

[music stops]

[horn blaring]

[whimsical music playing]

Oh.

That sobered me up.

[grunting, breathing heavily]

Jeez.

[grunting, breathing heavily]

[electricity crackling]

Oh! [breathing heavily]

[frustrated grunting]

[music fades]

[ominous music playing]

[Yoon] What happened here?

Mr. Baek!

[music intensifies]

Mr. Baek!

Oh, Mr. Baek…

Mr. Baek, are…

-[boing]
-[music ends]

[Yoon] Miss Na?

What are you doing here?

-Na Bo-bae… Huh?
-[snores]

[Yoon sighs]

Oh, she smells like bad soju.

[Bo-bae snoring]

[sighs]

[curious music playing]

Na Bo-bae.

[moaning sleepily]

Na Bo-bae.

-[h*-rang] What are you doing?
-Uh…

[music fades]

Mr. Baek!

Sir, what's wrong?

Did you hurt yourself?

The power went out yesterday,
and I fell in the bathroom. [grunts]

The digital locks at the main gate
and the front door are broken.

-Must have been the power outage.
-Huh?

-The digital locks are broken?
-Yes.

[h*-rang sighs]

Uh, why is that woman
just lying there like that?

You didn't let her in?

I'll wake her up now.

No, don't.

Don't bother her.

[impish music playing]

[moans sleepily]

[whirring]

[Yoon sighs]

The power outage, the digital locks…

Sir, something seems off about this.

This has Choi Do-yoon written all over it.

Call a repairman.

Yes, Mr. Baek.

Might I ask what Na Bo-bae is doing here?

-[stark organ music playing]
-What's that? What about Bo-bae?

Nothing happened between Na Bo-bae and I.

-No?
-Be quiet!

[music fades]

Apologies, sir. Never mind.

But shouldn't you go to the hospital?

Oh. I, uh,

just twisted my ankle a little,
but it's much better already. No need.

Okay.

I'll get the locks fixed
before your family arrives.

-Family?
-[Yoon] Did you forget?

Today is your birthday, sir.
Your family's coming.

[h*-rang sighs]

Oh…

Sir, I'm worried
that you might have hit your head.

[scoffs] What do you think you're doing?

-I mean when you fell.
-[scoffs]

[metallic twang]

Okay, well, I'm going inside now.
Let me know when it's done.

[slurping]

[coughing]

[mysterious funky music plays]

Oh, uh, um, I'm… I'm sorry.

-[yelps]
-[h*-rang] Oh!

[tense music playing]

[slide whistle]

[coughing]

Hello. [clears throat]

I see you passed out on the couch,

so looks like
you might've drunk too much, huh?

Um, yeah. Totally.

I was so drunk,
I barely remember anything,

even how I got over there.

[laughs awkwardly]

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[h*-rang sighs]

[music fades]

Oh no. Your pecks are limping.
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

-[pop]
-[h*-rang sighs]

[impish music playing]

-My pecks?
-Huh?

You said my pecks are limping.

Oh, p, p… pankle!

[splutters] Your ankle!

I saw that you were limping,
so I meant ankle. [chuckles]

[h*-rang clears throat]

It's fine, a bit swollen.

What a relief.

[chuckles] Good.

Well I guess
I'll help myself to some breakfast.

[sighs]

I wouldn't. My family will be over soon.

Oh, uh, why?

Because it's my birthday.

[gasps] Birthday?

Why didn't you say so earlier?

Why on earth would I have to tell you
it's my birthday?

That's mean, you know.

If I'd had known, I would've bought you
a little gift or something.

[sighs] I don't need birthday gifts,
especially from you.

[scoffs] What a bad attitude.

Since you won't accept gifts from me,
I won't go to the trouble.

-Hey, wait…
-[gasps]

[gentle music playing softly]

[heartbeat pounding]

Whoa. Your pecks…

[Bo-bae gasps]

I'm, uh…

I was just gonna tell you
to remove the rubber glove before you go.

But you're just so tiny, I just…

Really it's… [coughs]
…lack of core strength. Ha!

I should give this back to you.

-[h*-rang clears throat]
-[Do-yoon] Wow.

-I can't believe what I'm seeing.
-How did you get in? [sighs]

Need to be better
at locking those doors, h*-rang.

Otherwise, bad people like me
can just waltz right in.

Hey. You a girlfriend? No?

One-night stand?

A bit low-rent for that though.

-Hey, Do-yoon.
-I'm his assistant.

-What now?
-Yes.

Mr.… Uh, Mr. Baek got injured yesterday,
so I just came by to check up on him.

[Bo-bae chuckles]

Injured? How?

There was a power outage yesterday,
and he fell.

He could've been seriously hurt.

Okay, well, I better be on my way.

Mr. Baek, have a happy birthday!
[chuckles]

[Do-yoon clicks tongue] Ah.

[impish music continues]

[music fades]

Oh, wait.

I should've brought my laptop.

Oh, sh*t. Whoa!

[gasps]

[intriguing music playing]

[car door closes, car door opens]

Your injury must not be that bad.

I'm alive and well.
I'm sure it's not what you hoped for.

How can you say something so cruel?

Cruel? You of all people
couldn't care less about my health.

What did you just say?

Do you need me to repeat myself?
Should I book you a hearing test?

[music intensifies]

[scoffs]

[sighs]

You're here.

Why are you limping?

I hurt my ankle yesterday.

Did you know
your digital locks are broken?

You must know by now that security
must be airtight for people like us.

Don't worry, I'm having it repaired today,
but thank you for pointing it out.

I'd call it incompetence.

[sighs]

-[exhales]
-[music fades]

Ah, sh*t.

[slurping]

-[entry bell jingles]
-Ah.

[slurping]

[humming happily]

[Bo-bae slurping]

[slurping]

[coughing]

Is everything all right,
Little Miss Assistant?

[Bo-bae coughing] Mm.

How is it that h*-rang's assistant
is all alone eating ramyeon

in front of her boss's house
instead of her own?

You've piqued my interest.

I've been doing so much overtime
that I got hungry.

-[chuckles]
-That's enough from you.

I know you're not his assistant.

There's something going on
between you two.

So for his birthday.
did you get him something…

dirty?

-[scoffs] What?
-[mysterious music playing]

Oh no, did I offend you?

[inhales sharply] I mean, I knew
his taste in women was odd,

but who knew he'd go for someone like you.

-Someone like who?
-You have quite an ego on you.

It's growing on me.

How about

you and I go out sometime?

I can treat you way better
than my loser cousin ever could.

[Bo-bae chuckles]

You'll have to excuse me, Mr. uh…

[Do-yoon] Hm?

Just call me Do-yoon.

Ah, look at you, throwing your name around
like it means something.

[electricity crackles]

-Ah! [groans]
-[impish music playing]

[groans]

Well now I've lost my appetite.

Oh, it stinks of burnt trash in here. Ugh!

Goddammit! Ah!

-Oh my… [groans]
-[entry bell jingles]

What the hell did she just… [groaning]

[music fades]

You're sure you're not gonna take it?
You'd be the face of TS.

Eun-h* this is
an amazing opportunity for you.

This deal is
with Hanlim Advertising and TS.

If you make deals with both of them,

we'd finally be able to move you
into the US market.

Sticking to charity ads and PSAs
isn't sustainable.

I told you I only ever wanted
to make a difference in the world.

The whole point of getting
to this level of success

was to do the projects I wanted.

It was never about fame
or making loads of money or anything.

If you want your work to be recognized,
you need this kind of publicity.

It's a cycle. That's how it works
Success will increase your influence.

He's right, Eun-h*.
We should really do this ad.

You're doing press junkets
and reading scripts,

so you have time on your hands anyway.

[Eun-h* sighs]

Let me see the concept before I decide.

[intriguing music playing]

[h*-rang sighs]

You didn't have to bring so much food.

Eating well is a skill in itself.
Come on, eat.

I eat well and have a personal chef,
just so you know.

This beef rib stew was brought in
from Dojaewon at the crack of dawn.

Same as all of this,
which also came from the hotel.

And you compare all of that
to your chef's cooking?

Have some decorum.

Thank you for your wisdom, Auntie.

Look at that sh*t-eating grin.
What a spoiled brat.

Mom, he's being really rude.

Seriously, don't go out of your way
to bring me food from the hotel.

Not while things have been
so tough there recently.

Hm. What's wrong with the hotel?
Isn't TS Resort the one that's struggling?

No, I heard the hotel's food dep…

I heard their food department
is busy as is.

No need to work extra hard
because of a family member's birthday.

Should I be worried?

[aunt] Huh?

No, no. Of course not. Why should you be?

Oh, it's business as usual.

The hotel must be busy, what with
preparations for the big anniversary.

-Oh!
-Oh!

-[aunt] Mm! That.
-[uncle chuckles]

-I mean, we're busy, but we, um…
-[clattering]

[Do-yoon] Oh damn.

[aunt] Don't worry, I got it.
Someone get us a spoon!

Do-yoon, why is your hand so red?
Oh my God, it won't stop shaking.

Oh, uh, I… I'm fine.
I think it's just exhaustion.

[aunt] You're not fine!
It looks like you got electrocuted!

Really, it's okay. Please, continue.

-[chuckles]
-[grandma] h*-rang.

Yes, Grandma.

-I invited someone to dine with us.
-[h*-rang] Who?

[doorbell rings]

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

Uh, I think we got it, Miss Han.

These look great. Thank you so much.
Now don't let me down.

Of course. I'll do my selections
and get back to you.

Whoa. She a celebrity?

Or an heiress?

She's pretty.

[suspenseful percussive music playing]

[h*-rang sighs]

[grandma] Since there have been talks
of marriage between you,

I thought it would be appropriate
to have Seol-hee join us for lunch.

-I wanted to wish you a happy birthday.
-[h*-rang] How nice.

-Here's a gift for you.
-Thank you.

[aunt] You're getting prettier by the day.
You should be in one of your commercials.

-Very gorgeous.
-[uncle] Ah.

Hanlim Advertising seems
to be doing very well.

Everyone I know perks up
at any mention of Hanlim's stock price.

-[chuckles]
-[Seol-hee chuckles]

You two are good friends, is that right?
You should sit across each other.

-Honey, give him your seat.
-Yes, you should. Okay.

[Do-yoon] It's fine.

[aunt sighs]

Please eat.

[aunt sighs]

Thank you for inviting me

[Do-yoon sighs]

[gentle music playing]

[h*-rang sighs]

[gentle music continues]

Ah! [smacks lips]

[sighs] If only I'd brought my laptop,
then I could've gotten some work done.

[clicks tongue]

Uh, maybe I'll just read on my phone.

SEO-JEONG

[Bo-bae] Huh?

[Seo-jeong] Hey, this is the guy
you've been charging, right?

[Bo-bae] Hm?

Baek h*-rang?

BAEK h*-RANG AND HAN SEOL-HEE
ANNOUNCE ENGAGEMENT

[aunt] Ah!

Did you need to do this today?

The prospect of marriage between you two
has been in the works for years.

Don't you think you should've
discussed this with me first?

I mean, come on! This is wrong, Mom!

Publishing an article
about two heirs getting married

is essentially announcing
that h*-rang is inheriting TS!

And you know that!

Ugh, I can't! Oh, oh!

Um, Mother-in-law,
in this day and age, uh,

you can't possibly force h*-rang
into a marriage he doesn't want.

I mean, he's fragile enough as it is.

Look, the boy can't walk properly.

Had someone been with him,
that wouldn't have happened.

Good thing it was just his ankle.
Thank goodness it wasn't any worse.

That was an accident.

Your mom and dad also had an accident.

[uneasy music playing]

[grandma] Anyone can fall at any moment.

That's why you secure a support system
to hide your weaknesses.

And the more pieces you have in position,

the more secure your power.

Look, I'll be the one
that decides what's best for me.

You need to be reasonable.

In this case, Grandma,
you're the one that should be reasonable.

I'll issue a correction.

You can see yourselves out.

Take down those the articles

and issue a correction stating that
I'm not planning on marrying Miss Han.

Mr. Baek,

you should look at this.

[music fades]

The articles about the engagement
are receiving positive traction

and the stock price is going back up.

[h*-rang sighs]

Should I issue the correction?

[grandma] Put your personal issues aside,

and think about it
as Senior Managing Director.

Grandma.

Besides, if you marry
into the Hanlim family,

you know that TS Hotel and TS Resort

will finally be able to enter
the overseas market.

I'm already working on a plan
to get us there. Please, Grandma.

[poignant music playing]

I'm begging you
to respect my wishes and trust me.

If you think you're more qualified
on these matters than I am,

then by all means go ahead.

Were you like this with my parents too,
right up until their death?

I never had to step in
and make plans for your parents.

They held their own.

Marry Seol-hee.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Mr. Baek, as for the articles…

Don't bother.

Well,

Guess I'll just have to
take on the Hanlim role as well.

-[sighs]
-[music fades]

This is so stressful, Mom.
h*-rang's not a kid anymore.

When are you going to stop hosting
these extravagant feasts

like he's some kind of noble?

She's right, Mother-in-law.
This is too much for you.

Next time we should eat out
or just get him a gift.

You guys don't have to come anymore.
Stop complaining.

No. I didn't mean that.
I'm just worried about you. That's all.

Come on, don't leave like this.

[aunt sighs]

Mr. Kim!

I didn't see you there.

[intriguing music playing]

PORTABLE CHARGER

[outgoing call tone]

The person you are trying to reach
is unavailable. Leave a message…

[sighs]

[clicking mouse]

MONDAY, OCTOBER 12

[inhales]

Damn it.

How late does she plan on staying out?

[intriguing music continues]

[outgoing call tone]

[sighs]

Hmm?

[sighs]

Na Bo-bae!

[Bo-bae breathing heavily]

[Bo-bae grunting]

What is your problem?

Where have you been?
Why haven't you answered my calls?

Oh, sorry, my phone was in my back pocket.

[sighs] You look upset.
Were you waiting for me?

I wasn't waiting.

It was getting late,
and I couldn't reach you.

The battery!

I just need to charge my heart battery.

[exhales sharply] Do you have any idea

how long I've been walking
around this neighborhood?

Oh. Yeah, our lunch
ended up being cut short.

Oh, really?

My family usually spends the whole day
with me on my birthday.

I should've come back sooner.

It doesn't matter now.
I should charge my battery.

[rustling]

-[Bo-bae] Mr. Baek!
-What now?

[Bo-bae] Beak h*-rang!

Ta-da!

[chuckles] I know
you didn't want anything,

but it's your birthday.

Make a wish and I'll sing you my song.

[clears throat]

Here comes a special birthday song
I want you to hear.

And a one, and a two,

and a one, two, one, two.

♪ h*-rang, he's a birthday tiger ♪

♪ h*-rang, he lives high up
On the mountain ♪

♪ All the creatures
Gather round together ♪

♪ Playing with their birthday friend ♪

♪ Mr. Rabbit does ballet ♪

♪ Miss Fox plays the violin ♪

♪ Squawk, squawk
The birds'll sing along too ♪

♪ We're all having so much fun ♪

[chuckles] Did you make a wish?

Oh, now make a wish and blow.

[intriguing music continues]

Oh. Happy birthday!

[Bo-bae chuckles]

[breathes shakily] Why…

[clicks tongue] Why did you sing that one?

Well, it's the perfect song
for someone named h*-rang, no?

Oh!

What is this look of shock and awe
on your face? Is that emotion? [gasps]

Did I just play the leading lady
who stirs up

some happy… [gasps]
…childhood memories from your birthday?

[h*-rang scoffs]

[Bo-bae chuckles]

-[rain pattering]
-Oh! Looks like it's raining.

[gasps] Let's go have some cake.

[exhales sharply]

[scoffs]

[Bo-bae sighs]

I read the article.

Oh, that's…

Is it one of those arranged marriages
between rich families?

You said you were single

and that you'd help me
with this romance stuff.

Wait. Do you think I should sue?

Listen,

my grandmother published the article
without consulting me.

That marriage isn't going to happen.

Don't believe what you read
about me getting married.

Ah.

[h*-rang] I'm serious.

My grandmother…

can be a bit overbearing.

[h*-rang sighs]

But I'll take care of it.

So don't believe what you read
about me getting married.

So did your grandmother give you
the name h*-rang?

Uh, no. My parents did.

Why the name h*-rang?

My father said he had a dream
about a white tiger.

The white tiger was in my mother's arms.

Ooh.

Well, I think it suits you perfectly.
It works well.

[Bo-bae chuckles]

So mine was

a whole vision of a tree with all kinds
of fruit hanging from it in clusters.

My mom said it made her think
of the name Bo-bae because it's so rare.

It's a good name.

[Bo-bae chuckles]

But… [gulps] …why did you ask me that?

Well, I guess,

omens and dreams are kind of symbolic
more than anything.

I mean, they're not prophecies.

Isn't that the truest form of love though?

You can't predict your child's future,

but you can give them a dream to start.

[gentle music playing]

So happy birthday, Baek h*-rang,

the one who got a white tiger dream
from his parents.

And as for your grandma…

well, I think she's being overbearing

because she's probably
really worried about you.

She might have
gone about it the wrong way.

She just loves you.

Mmm.

[h*-rang chuckles softly]

When I was a kid…
my parents passed away in an accident.

The accident happened
while they were on their way to see me.

When the reporters found out,
they barged into my hospital room.

They started taking pictures
out of nowhere.

Some paparazzi even started to dress up
as doctors or nurses to get in.

That's why I'm a little sensitive.
Like at the hospital yesterday.

I hope you understand.

I didn't know.

Oh, oh. What was that?

You had icing on your lips.

Oh.

[Bo-bae clears throat]

You should've told me.

It's in the past now.

Don't bother.

What do you think I'm gonna do?

You were… [sighs] …going to attempt
to say something comforting.

But nothing you could say
would comfort me,

so I really wouldn't bother.

Well, that's kinda messed up, you know?

I mean, you're acting
as if I have these bad intentions.

I was just trying to be nice,
but you still have a problem with that.

And, you know, it's not like

I was even planning on
saying anything that comforting.

But you were looking at me intensely.

Oh, no, I wasn't looking at you
to comfort you.

Then why were you?

[calming music playing]

[heartbeat pounding]

[Bo-bae] Oh, heart,
what's going on with you?

[breathes heavily]

[music builds to a crescendo]

-[lights clinking]
-[electricity crackling]

Oh! Hang on.

Wait, I'm a little tipsy.
I should sleep it off.

-[pensive music playing]
-[electricity crackling]

I don't get why
my heart's beating so fast.

It's never beaten this fast,

other than when I gave someone a shock
that knocked them out.

[sighs]

[music fades]

Come to think of it,
the vibe was a little…

electric, right?

[romantic music playing]

[Bo-bae] It felt like
we were just about to kiss.

Oh! [gasps]

Totally, yeah!

Oh wow!
Oh, I've got to write all this down!

[romantic music intensifies]

-[Korean ballad playing]
-[h*-rang sighs]

[watch chimes]

[watch beeping]

So, is it broken?

[music fades]

[heartbeat pounding]

[outgoing call tone]

[Do-yoon sighs]

-[female voice] The person you are trying…
-Ah, man.

SEOL-HEE

[end call beep]

[woman grunts softly]

[outgoing call tone]

It's me, hi.

You know that woman
who's been around h*-rang?

Is she really his secretary?

[calming music playing]

-[groans]
-[music stops]

[romantic music playing]

Whoa!

[dramatic music playing]

[gasps, grunts]

[breathing heavily]

[whimsical music playing]

These recurring thoughts are not me.
They're useless distractions.

-[calming music playing]
-[breathing deeply]

[birds singing]

[whimsical music resumes]

[sighs]

[inhales deeply]

-[exhales slowly]
-[dramatic music plays]

-[clicks tongue]
-[calming music playing]

[exhales slowly]

[romantic music playing]

Hm.

[dramatic musical sting]

Oh no.

[scoffs]

-[sighs heavily]
-[intriguing music playing]

[sighs]

[music fades]

[takes deep breath]

Uh, hi, Bo-bae. You up?

Hm?

[inhales sharply] Uh…

Hey, Bo-bae?

[sighs]

[clears throat]

[inhales sharply, sighs]

[intriguing music playing]

I-HEYOK FINISHES SHOWERING
WIPES THE FOGGY MIRROR

[chuckles]

[bleating sound effect]

-Oh!
-[Bo-bae gasps]

-Oh, what?
-Oh, got scared there.

Yeah, hi.

It was time for a boost. You didn't come.

Oh!

Yeah.

[sniffles]

Hold on, how did you get in here?

[Bo-bae gasps]

You broke in here, didn't you?

What? That's ridiculous!

You didn't lock the door!

Yeah, but why would you
just barge into a woman's room like that?

Ah. This isn't a woman's room.

You're here under contract
as my portable charger,

sleeping in my garage, that's all.

-You don't live here.
-[chuckles]

What a wake-up. Wow!

I mean, seriously.

If I'm just a charger,
what's up with touching my lips?

[light, gentle music playing]

It… it's, like, odd.

It… It's not right.

[Bo-bae sighs]

You serious?

You were all fidgety
and biting your lips, so I stopped it.

And besides, yesterday…

Uh…

-What was that secretary stuff?
-Huh?

You were telling Do-yoon
you're my secretary?

What's up with that?

Are you talking about
your jerk of a cousin?

So what though?

We've got this contract anyway,

I… I improvised.
You weren't helping at all.

Well, since you went and improvised,
you get us out of it.

[h*-rang sighs]

I'm in here just to, uh, say that…

So the solution's
to pretend I'm your secretary?

I've got a writing job.

Besides, I don't know
how to be a secretary.

Just sit at your desk, and of course
you'll get paid. Don't worry.

No, it's not about the money.

Hey, I've got a script to write,
you get that?

I've got three months to get it done!

Work on it at the office, that's all!

[Bo-bae] So I'll get paid
and I'll get to work on my script?

[h*-rang] If Do-yoon finds out you lied
about being my secretary,

he'll try to bring me down.
I'll never hear the end of it.

You can't imagine.

All right, I'll come.

[music fades]

You will?

Yeah, I'm the one who lied about it.
I won't bail out on ya.

[sighs]

Yeah, I'll play along.

-Hm. Great.
-[upbeat music playing]

Mm. Good.

Let's go to work together tomorrow.

Okay, so, um,

time for your charge.

[watch beeps, whirs]

[watch chimes, beeps]

Hear that?
Means it's charging, that's all, yeah.

Hm. Hey, I've got to stop into work today.

I'll probably be back in the evening.
The battery should hold up.

[upbeat music continues]

Uh, don't you have work?
How long are you gonna stick around here?

Don't mind me.

I'm just gonna hang around,
in case there's an issue or whatever.

I'll be at the café downstairs.

What? How do you know there's a café here?

Have you been here before?

[h*-rang sighs deeply]

[feet clomp]

We met here. Did you forget or something?

Uh…

Oh my.

We had our first kiss here. Do you recall?

Uh…

Sort of.

Right. So, uh, yeah,
I'll go work a little,

and, uh, you can sit back around here,
grab a coffee.

[Bo-bae sighs]

[h*-rang breathes deeply]

[playful, suspenseful music playing]

Ooh.

[Seo-jeong chuckles]

So, what say you?

[Yeom sighs]

Ya think you're a writer?

Yeah.

Yeah, I knew you had it in ya! [whoops]

-[rock music playing]
-Yeah, it's good?

Bo-bae. Wow.

This superromantic scene's perfect!
I love it.

Totally! It's really amazing stuff!
I mean it! Ha!

Great! A beer kiss? Total fan!

It felt so real.
It felt like I was drinking!

I kept swallowing like I was pounding back
a couple of beers myself.

-[all laughing]
-It's fun, right?

As I was writing, I was like,
"Ah, yeah. It's pretty good." You know?

It's so good! Ha!
Is this real-life stuff? You in love?

[music stops abruptly]

-Oh. Oh, no.
-Really?

Uh… [mutters]

-Well, whatever! Oh, and this one.
-[rock music resumes]

The Hangang River scene.

Sorta cliché, but I love it.

"He got hurt instead of me,
but his only concern was me being okay."

-Yeah, I really relate! [laughs]
-[chuckles]

You know, Na Bo-bae here's
been totally into romance novels,

movies and comics
since she was little. [chuckles]

-Seems like it's finally paying off!
-[Yeom] Yeah, so true.

She knows the genre well now.
She's an expert!

I do, yeah.
I've finally got the feel for it.

Keep riding that wave, got it?

Through the next episode,
the one after that, right to the last!

How about a dance? [laughs]

-She really gets it now. She…
-She really gets it now, hey!

-[Yeom] Na Bo-bae gets it now!
-[Seo-jeong] Hey, hey, hey!

-[music stops]
-Today's meeting is crucial.

If this goes well,
you'll be going straight to Hollywood.

[sighs] I'm so nervous.

Hey, there's no need to be nervous.

Your acting is great, right?
You're a well-prepared talent, man.

-[cell phone buzzing]
-[inhales] Uh… Mm.

Oh, will you hang on a minute?

Mr. Yeom, how are you?

We're almost there, yes.

-[laughs] Um…
-[enchanting music playing]

-Right now?
-[Eun-h*] Oh?

Hey, Bo-bae's here.

[Hee-chan] Yes.

Of course. Eun-h* was born ready, sure.

Every time I turn away, he just…

What's that? [chuckles]
I'd never do that to you.

Yes. Of course not.

[Bo-bae] Sorry I kept you waiting so long.
But guess what?

-I got a ton a compliments today.
-[music fades]

Are you a child?
Getting giddy over some notes. Really?

Oh, hi.

Hey, Eun-h*. What brings you here?

Mr. Ji Eun-h*, hi.

[chuckles] Hey.

I'm here for a quick meeting.
And why are you here today?

I had to meet Mr. Yeom and Seo-jeong
for notes on a screenplay.

And you are?

[Bo-bae] Oh, he's a…

a friend. A friend, yeah.

[tense music playing]

Oh yeah? That's weird.
I don't remember you mentioning him?

He's a source, and we've become friends.

-I met him through work, actually
-Good to see you. Baek h*-rang.

Miss Bo-bae and I have been
getting really close recently,

since working together.

[chuckles] Guess you know
my name already, don't you?

I've known Bo-bae since her writing debut,
and we're also really close.

-[both chuckle insincerely]
-[toy squeaks]

[grip tightening]

[both laughing]

You two know each other?

He's Senior Managing Director
of TS Resort.

Oh, yeah, that's right. Oh.

I got a job as a secretary there
for my research.

A three-month gig.

So we're not exactly friends yet.
He's my boss so, yeah.

Oh, I see. Your boss.
You two aren't very close at all, then.

What are you talking about?

Miss Bo-bae and I have been
joined at the hip, lately.

-[cat yowls]
-[cat meows]

Yeah, because that's what secretaries do,
you know?

[h*-rang tuts]

Passion for your research is great,
but you gotta take care of yourself, 'kay?

Mm-hmm.

I was actually the male lead
in her first show.

Ah, yeah, Wistful… something, right?

Yes, Wistful Youth. You watched it?

I've got it on my list. I will.

You should watch it. It's a masterpiece.

[h*-rang snickers]

[tense music playing]

I fell in love with her on set.
I've been following her around ever since.

I think she's a great writer.
She's the best.

Hey, Eun-h*, stop that. [chuckles]

[Eun-h*] What? It's true.

You know what? I'd say yes
to being the lead, in a heartbeat.

Oh, if you want to do it,
then the part's totally--

I know you're a top star.
You're surely super busy and need to go.

So, talk soon. Take it easy.

[toy squeaks]

[tense music continues]

What? He's leaving alone?

Alright, uh, I…
I'll call you later, Eun-h*. Bye.

You leaving without me?

Oh…

What was that all about?

-[Yeom] Well done! You all worked so hard!
-[Seo-jeong] Congrats! Great work!

[Yeom] Our show's called Wistful Youth,

but our ratings will be
anything but juvenile!

-[Seo-jeong] We're in the big leagues!
-[Yeom] Let's hear it!

[all cheering]

-[Yeom] Wistful…
-[all] Youth!

-[Yeom laughs]
-[Eun-h*] Great work, team!

-[Seo-jeong] Great work, everyone!
-[Yeom] Uh, where'd our writer go?

-[Eun-h*] She stepped out. I'll get her.
-[Yeom] She should be here.

-It's her time. Hey, Seo-jeong.
-[Seo-jeong] Have a seat, Mr. Yeom!

-[Yeom] You did great.
-[Seo-jeong] Me? Really?

-[Eun-h*] Hey there.
-[Bo-bae] Mm.

Are you okay?

[trills lips, sighs]

The director wants you to go in.
You already drunk?

Mm, mm.

Pfft. [groans softly]

-[gentle music playing]
-[Eun-h* sighs]

-[sighs]
-[Bo-bae groans]

You all right here?

If, um…

if you're too drunk to remember this,

I'm gonna tell you a secret.

The truth, actually.

[sighs] Here it goes.

I like you.

-[electricity crackles]
-Ow! [grunts]

[Bo-bae] Stop.

Wha… what was that just now?

Ya think it'll work out?

I just slightly touched you and… Tzzz!

You felt it, right? [groans]

I'll never be with anyone.
How can I date? [groans]

[Bo-bae sighs]

[Eun-h* sighs]

[gentle music continues]

But what if someone likes you anyway?

Nah, the timing's all wrong.

Everyone just talks about dating.
They go on and on.

-We gotta think of work!
-[chuckles]

Success comes first, you know?

Once we make it…

go out with me then, okay?

All right!

Promise me?

[Bo-bae] Mm.

-[camera shutter clicking]
-No way they're together.

How is it he can touch her?

Her power's still so strong, isn't it?

-What's going on?
-I'm sorry. Ji Eun-h*!

What are you doing?
We're meeting the director.

Oh, yeah.

Please put your phones away.
No taking pictures.

I'm sorry. Let's go. Get a grip.

'Scuse us.

The last clause, remember it?
The one you added?

[Bo-bae] Mm…

The one that says no dating anyone?

Is this about Eun-h*?

[chuckles] Oh, no.
Eun-h* is sort of like a little brother.

-And a savior.
-"Savior"?

Yeah, Eun-h*'s pretty much
the only one who said I should hold on.

He said he really loved my work,
and if the world didn't recognize it,

he'd act in the drama himself just to
show people how awesome it was.

[chuckles] He's the coolest fan, right?

What a load of bullshit.

[upbeat music playing]

[woman 1] Did he hire a new secretary?

I've never seen her before.

-Good morning, Mr. Baek.
-Good morning!

[music fades]

So, this is my new secretary.
She'll act as my personal assistant.

She's going to assist me exclusively,
so don't give her any other work.

-Miss Na.
-Yeah.

Uh. Hello, everyone. I'm Na Bo-bae.

I'll be Mr. Baek's personal assistant
as of today.

Thrilled to be here working with you all.

[applause continues]

Oh, and in other news,

you've surely all seen the articles
about my engagement to Miss Han Seol-hee.

For now, don't respond to questions.
"It's personal." All you need to say.

Yeah, but…
I mean, are you getting married?

When I said it's personal, Mr. Lee,
I wasn't mincing my words.

The executive office
doesn't need to know more either.

Yes, sir. Forgive me.

Set up Miss Na at a desk.

Right away, sir.

-Let's make it another… strong day.
-[bell dings]

Let's do this.

Why are you wearing gloves?

[chuckles] Can't be comfortable?

Uh, these…

To tell you the truth,
I'm kind of a germaphobe. [chuckles]

Oh. I get it.

A germophobic secretary? That's a first.

[inhales sharply] Won't be easy.

[Yoon] Yes, sir. Got it.

Miss Na.

-Your boss is asking for you.
-Uh, uh, oh?

[door closes]

[Bo-bae clears throat]

What's up?

What have you been up to?

I was about to start working on my script.
You said I could write, didn't you?

You've got work.
You said you wouldn't make me.

You should at the very least look
like you're working for me, right?

[impish music playing]

I need a copy of this, okay?

{\an8}ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICE REGULATIONS

-Why are you wearing gloves?
-None of your business.

[squeaky toy squeaks]

Tell my secretary to bring me
this week's weekly report.

Yeah. Ask Miss Na if she can
make a PowerPoint deck for me.

Oh, I'd like a bottle
of sparkling water, please.

Yeah, Miss Na should do it.
I didn't mean you, okay?

[music fades]

-Mr. Baek.
-[h*-rang clears throat]

Ah. [clears throat]

Yes, hi. Hey.

May I be of service, sir?

No, just do your work.
Yeah, sit down, everybody.

Miss Na.

I'd like to revise the schedule
we organized earlier.

[lively music playing]

[groans] Uh… pardon?

[enunciates slowly] Get something
to write with right now.

Ah. Oh, oh, ah.

-Yes, yes. Uh, go ahead, sir.
-[h*-rang clears throat]

What's new on the schedule? I'm listening.

I'll be inspecting the resort sh**t
at 1:00 p.m.

and I'll attend a meeting
from 2:00 to 3:00.

Then I'll be receiving a report
on recent performance

from the lounge manager
from 3:00 to 3:30 p.m.

From 3:30 to 6:00,
I'll be approving some reports. At 6:00…

[Bo-bae] You should just quit your job
and become a rapper.

You'll come along.

[Bo-bae] He said
he wouldn't make me work. f*ck.

You get it all?

Yes. I wrote it down, every word.

Oh!

[chuckles]

[music fades]

All right, and how is
the rebranding project taking shape?

Our team is currently
developing the concept,

and we plan to have a first draft
by the end of the week for review.

The marketing target analysis
and market research, what's the latest?

[woman] Still gathering data.

Y: HE'S HEADING TO THE sh**t
AT THE RESORT NOW

[uneasy music playing]

{\an8}HE'S HEADING TO THE sh**t
HE HAS AN APPOINTMENT AT 11 A.M.

{\an8}A NEW FEMALE SECRETARY STARTED

HE'S GOING TO THE HOSPITAL
THE TS FAMILY IS HAVING DINNER

HE'S SEEING THE CHAIRWOMAN


[music swells, then ends]

[upbeat music playing]

Oh wow!
They're actually sh**ting something here?

We're providing this location
for a drama sh**t. It's a first for us.

A drama?

You've never been
on a miniseries set, right?

Take a good look around.
That's why I took you here.

[h*-rang inhales deeply, sighs]

Wait here a minute.
I've gotta talk to the director for a sec.

[Bo-bae gasps] Why is Mr. Yeom here?

He thinks I'm busy
writing an episode right now. [groans]

-Oh, sorry.
-Oh!

-Bo-bae.
-Oh, Ju-hee.

[intriguing music playing]

Whoa! What?

What's wrong? [grunts] What's going on?

-When's the sh**t starting?
-Why'd you come all the way here?

I own this resort,
so of course I should be here, right?

Everyone looks so laid-back.

Don't you worry, sir.
Nobody's gonna slack off.

We won't go over the schedule by a second.

Hey, go get the actors. I want them
to enter through the back gate.

[man] You got it.

[Yeom] Who's that?

One of my writers, right?

Yes, Miss Na.

I had her come with me.

Oh yeah, how do you know her?

Yeah, you did call and ask about her.

What's up between you two?

Man! [laughing]

You one of the guys lining up
to go out with her, huh?

'Scuse me?

The other day when I asked her
if she's dating anyone,

she said she's super popular,
guys are lining up for her.

I knew it. Now I get why her writing
has improved so much recently, hm?

[laughing]

[inhales sharply]

If Ju-hee finds out about this,
she'll freak out, huh?

What are you doing here?

Did Mr. Yeom call you here?

Uh… It's funny, yeah. Uh…

[sighs] I… I'm working part-time.

What? You're working
at TS Resort part-time?

Uhm, well… I'm broke. [chuckles]

I thought you had a part-time gig
at the café?

You work so hard, Bo-bae.

I'm so busy writing,
I don't have time for anything else.

-[chuckles]
-[Ju-hee] Hey, what's up with the look?

Seriously, I'm like, scared of you
right now. Relax.

Who's that?

[gasps] No way!

You think that's Baek h*-rang?

-What? [chuckles]
-[Ju-hee] The guy next to Mr. Yeom.

He's looking at me now.

Baek, Baek, Baek who you say?

Never heard of him, weird!
[laughing uneasily]

You don't know the TS heir?

Girl, you gotta know this stuff.

You're a writer.
You gotta know that world.

K-dramas always have
a wealthy heir character.

Huh, yeah, you're right.

Oh, know what?

Rumor has it he doesn't appear
in the media because he's really ugly.

[gasps]

But he looks like a model, wow.

[Yeom] The relationship
between them's complicated.

To be completely honest, Miss Kang looks
like she's wary of Miss Na.

-She doesn't like her.
-[intriguing music playing]

-Oh, I thought they were close.
-Close, yeah right.

You see, Miss Kang is very jealous
of Miss Na.

She's actually doing way better
than Miss Na,

but she's always defensive around her.

I don't know why she's like that.

He's coming to see me. I know it.

I heard he's a fan.

[inaudible]

I've got a few hit shows
under my belt, you know. [chuckles smugly]

[inhales] But I don't have your luck.

Top star Ji Eun-h* is a fan of yours
and follows you everywhere.

I need to work for it. [chuckles]

Oh my, he's coming.

[music fades]

Baek h*-rang,
Senior Managing Director of TS Resort.

-Hi.
-I'm Kang Ju-hee, and I wrote this drama.

Miss Na.

Do you like the resort?

[romantic ballad playing]
♪ Your love feels like… ♪

As executive producers,
we'd really like to do your next show.

We've sent you several proposals
and still haven't heard from you.

I guess you're not sure yet.

That's why you agreed
to come here with me today, right?

To see the location.

-Oh… Wha… what?
-[Ju-hee] I'm sorry…

-You know her?
-Of course I do. Yeah.

I'm quite a fan.

She's a brilliant writer.
