01x21 - Episode 21

[bunniefuu]

Why are you being this way?

It's because I like you.

Sorry?

Ji Young,

go out with me.

What?

If you can't answer me right now,

give it some thought
and then make up your mind.

We still have two more meals
to enjoy.

Think about it during that time
and tell me...

if you'll be my girlfriend.

Until then, I won't pressure you
for an answer.

But...

Right, then.
I'll give it some thought.

It seems as though
I got the green light for now.

Then, accept these.

No, I can't.

I can't accept those right now.

I will when I agree
to be your girlfriend.

This outfit you got me
is more than enough.

I mean that.

This is exactly why I like you.

Sure. Do that, then.

I'll get going.
I'll call you tomorrow.

Sure.

Gosh, these are heavy.

If only you'd soon take these.

Good night.

What just happened?

What the...

Director Ko,

why are you standing there...

like a ghost
that lurks around in the night?

You're such a weird one.

My heart almost dropped.

Ji Young.

Didn't this big brother of yours...

tell you not to get a ride
from just any guy?

Why are you ignoring what I said?

What did you just say?

What the...

Who are you referring to
as my brother?

You're unbelievable.

Starting today,
I will be that for you.

It seems as though you need
a big brother to protect you.

You're getting a ride
from random men...

which worries me.

I'm too flabbergasted
to put this in words.

Director Ko,

Mr. Gong isn't some random guy.

He's my boyfriend.

You see,

we agreed to see each other.

What?

Your boyfriend?

I...

If I say I heard everything
and that I know she's lying,

it'll tick her off even more...

which will make her call Mr. Gong...

and agree to date him.

Right. Let's hold back.

What? Why are you smiling like that?

Does it seem like I'm lying?

It's the truth.

Mr. Gong officially
asked me out today.

Unlike someone who only confuses me,

he is straightforward and manly.

How cool is that?

So I said yes.

Don't date him.

I'm against you seeing him.

Gosh.

Who are you to voice your opinion?

This wasn't put up for a vote.

I don't know why I'm talking...

about my personal life in detail
with some guy.

I'll get going.

Don't date Mr. Gong...

and date me instead.

Director Ko.

You said you weren't interested
when I said I liked you.

Does it seem like a waste
now that I'm dating someone else?

I'm sorry to tell you this,
but the ship has already sailed.

Take these flowers though.
They're for you.

Forget it.

I'm already dating someone...

and can't accept flowers
from other men.

Do Ra,

you said you didn't want
to remember your past.

Dating Mr. Gong
is too dangerous for you.

What if he also finds out
who you are?

Listen to me, will you?

Goodness.

Unbelievable.

What just happened today?

Did both men lose their minds
at the same time?

Why are they showing interest
in some hillbilly like me?

I don't get it though.

Director Ko put up a steel wall
saying there was a reason...

he couldn't like me.

So what got into him?

Is he free...

to like me as he pleases now?

But you should've refused.

How could you...

hop into his car
just because he invited you to?

You're both young and single.

You should be careful.

There's a wealthy family...

that wants our Pil Seung
to be their son-in-law.

Yes, of course.

Lying to Director Ko
about having a boyfriend...

was the right thing to do.

Ms. Kim and Ms. So
were clear about their requests.

I can't let his actions sway me.

Ms. Kim lives and breathes
for her only son.

I have no right to like him...

when a wealthy family
wants him as a son-in-law.

Besides, he changed his mind once...

and already broke my heart
after giving me hope.

He's a jerk.

They say a love
that is heartbreaking...

isn't love at all.

Jin Ok made the final round.

How did she know
she made the final round?

Who knows?

But I think she knows someone
at the broadcasting station.

The broadcasting station?

Ji Young,

go out with me.

Right, then.
I'll give it some thought.

What do you mean
you'll think about it?

Yes?

Can I come in?

Hey, Auntie. Why are you still up?

Oh, right.

I entered...

the screenplay contest
at your broadcasting station.

Is that so?

Yes.

And it seems like
the finalists were chosen.

Can you find out if I made the cut?

How is that important?

Winning the contest should be
your goal.

Even if you make it
to the final round,

it won't mean anything
unless you win.

Hey.

How could you put it like that?

What I mean...

is that you'll be notified
if you win the prize.

Just wait
until the notification is made.

How can you be so mean?

You always sh**t down my ideas
whenever I come to you.

So what if you're
a TV series director?

So much for being a family.

Auntie, how does being family
matter in this field?

You of all people know
that I can't pave the way for you.

If that is how things are done,

children of screenwriters
will become screenwriters...

and actors' children
will all become actors.

Not even the President's child...

can have a career in this field
without having the talent.

You know that.

Hey. As if we don't know that.

But that doesn't mean
you can't give her a helping hand.

For over ten years, she has been...

working her butt off
to become a screenwriter.

Don't you feel sorry for your aunt?

- Forget it, Mom.
- Hey.

- Hey, why...
- Goodness.

Mom. Why would you
take it out on Pil Seung?

Did he make Myung Dong
work her butt off?

- What?
- It was her choice.

Come with me, Mom. Let's go.

My goodness.

- Oh, dear.
- Go downstairs.

Is scriptwriting that big a deal?

Why is she still trying
instead of getting married?

Pil Seung,
don't you mind her at all.

Goodness...

- Gosh, Mom.
- Let go.

Would he do this...

if he considered us family?

He acts like that
because he's a foundling.

Times like this are when that shows.

Mother. You were quiet for a while.
Why are you starting up again?

Okay, fine.

I'm so sorry for starting up again.
I deserve to die, don't I?

- My goodness.
- Geez.

Why don't you say anything
when she says that word?

I find it really hard
to have to live with her...

when she talks like that.

Do whatever you want.

You say that all the time yourself.

My goodness.

That's unbelievable.

He's upset with me right now?

[Ko Pil Seung]

Good luck, Auntie.

I'm rooting for Ko Myung Dong.

Good morning, Ji Young.

Where are you going?

Get in.

Director Ko.

I have a boyfriend now.

Why would someone's girlfriend
get in another man's car?

I won't hitch rides
with other guys anymore.

We're done carpooling.

Ji Young.

You already paid me
half the bus fare.

Let's at least go the full month.

Do you want to make me an embezzler?

You can consider that a tip.

Buy yourself some rice cakes.

Bye.

What? It's a tip?

What the...

Did you follow me to get on the bus?

What are you doing?

Why say I followed you?

Do you own this bus?

Buses are public transport
anyone can take.

I have a right to take a ride.

You were standing
next to your car just now.

You got on this bus because I did.

I felt like...

taking the bus to work today.

I usually take the bus, you know.

So don't you mind...

whether I take a bus or the subway.

Goodness. Be careful.

Ji Young.

You just hugged me, didn't you?

What stupid nonsense
are you on about?

I didn't hug you.

I only helped you
in case you fell...

and got hurt.

I thought you hugged me
because you liked me.

Goodness.
I shouldn't talk to you at all.

You're the type
I should stay well away from.

Ma Ri. I think you were
too generous with the presents.

I didn't do anything for you.

You even offered
to treat me to a meal here.

I asked you to shop with me,
so of course...

I should pay and give you something.

No, don't.

I don't know
how much a meal here costs,

but I'll pay for that.

I know my manners.

Grandma. My dad told me...

not to be too frugal when treating
a friend to food or gifts.

- I see.
- You're my friend.

You listen when I talk,

and you like me a lot.

I like you so much, Grandma.

So don't worry
about the cost of today's date.

We're BFs.

"BF?"

Best friends?

You say the sweetest things.

Ma Ri. I feel like
you're my friend too.

True friends that go beyond age
and family background.

There's nothing wrong
with this girl.

Pil Seung's such a fool.

I think she's just adorable.

I'd snatch her up if I were a guy.

Ma Ri.

We might be friends,

but I feel bad to always be
on the receiving end.

As a friend,
I want to do something for you.

Ma Ri.

Do you want to go on...

a private date with our Pil Seung?

A private date with Pil Seung?

Director Ko.

The revised script is out
and there's a problem.

What problem?

The market clothes seller role...

that Ji Young
filled in for last time.

What about it?

The writer thought
Ji Young did such a good job,

that she included
a few scenes for her.

What? That's nonsense.

Why give Ji Young more scenes
when she's not even an actor?

I explained the actor
we'd hired got sick...

and a crew member
stepped in at the last minute.

She said she didn't mind.

It's just a few lines
and she wants Ji Young.

I think she loves her.

This is way too sudden.

What is Ms. Kim thinking?

Director Ko.
Ji Young did really well last time.

I checked the script
and her part isn't that long.

Here.

We can't sh**t today
if we ask for another revision.

We can't afford another delay.

What's the matter with Ms. Kim?

Why would she revise this?

Who are you?

Hey. Aren't you the lady
from the market...

who told us to take our pick?

Yes.

That's me.

Why are you here?

I saw the truth
and turned a blind eye...

and it gave me insomnia.

I'm here because I think...

I should tell you the truth
if I'm to sleep peacefully again.

What truth?

The woman you were with.
Don't let her deceive you.

She's a real dangerous woman.

Everything about her...

is a lie.

What?

Who...

are you?

Cut. Okay.

- Your name is Kim Ji Young?
- Yes.

When did you memorize all that
when we got the new script today?

You're a true actor. You're amazing.

Why would you flatter me so?

Stop it.
I'm getting all embarrassed.

I don't even remember how I did.

You did really well.

You're a genius
when it comes to acting.

Did you act in a previous lifetime?

You sucked me in and got all tense.

I think you have the talent
to get into acting.

You should learn.

Should I?

You should. You did great.

You were incredible today, Ji Young.

That was awesome. Well done.

Thank you.

Goodness.

Ji Young. You did so well.

Director Ko. Wasn't she great?

Well, that wasn't bad.

Thanks.

"Well, that wasn't bad."
Was that a compliment or what?

Couldn't he have made
a decent compliment?

Gosh.
Why is my heart beating so fast?

My heart is beating out of my chest.

Is acting this much fun?

A country bumpkin like me
came to Seoul and even tried acting.

Kim Ji Young, you made it big.

Ji Young.

Ji Young, I think
you are a gifted actress.

Did you learn acting?

Learn acting?

I've never done
anything like that before.

And you are still that good?

Unbelievable.

But you know what?

Maybe I was an actress
in my previous life.

With the lights above me,

as soon
as the director gave his cue,

I felt as if the cells in my body
started popping like popcorn.

Then I started saying my lines
before I knew it.

I was feeling so excited
and on cloud nine at the moment...

That's how I felt.

Ji Young, why don't you start
studying acting?

What?

That's ridiculous.

How on earth would
someone like me study acting?

Only special people can be actors.

That's not true.

It's not like there are people
who were born special.

They just become special
as they go along.

You know, I've been working
only with top actresses...

like Park Do Ra and Cho Bi Bi.

I can tell when someone has
what it takes to be a good actor...

with my animal instinct.

You're really talented.

Are you serious?

Yes. You have to trust me.

If you want,

I can find you a good acting school.

Acting school?

[King Acting School]

So this is it.

Is it really okay for a girl like me
to study acting?

Director.

Hello. It's me, Baek Mi Ja.

I'm Park Do Ra's mom.
You remember me, right?

Director.

I'm Baek Mi Ja, Park Do Ra's mom.
Do you remember me?

Yes. Hello.

It's been a long time.

- Have you been doing well?
- Yes.

I'm starting
a management agency again.

Her name is Do Do.

She's an actress at my agency.

She's a diamond in the rough.

Please take good care of her, sir.

- Okay.
- All right.

My goodness.
Mr. Jang and Director Hong.

Baek...

[Do Do, DOB October 23, 2001]

After my Do Ra left me like that,

I've been in a living death.

To make a living,

I've done all sorts of jobs.

I was sick and tired
of the show business world,

so I didn't want
to stick my fingers back in.

But this is all I'm good at.

So I had no choice but to come back.

Thank you, Mr. Jang.

- Mr. Jang.
- Yes.

- Director Hong.
- Yes.

You know, once I set my mind to it,

I can excel at my job in this field.

I can recognize
diamonds in the rough.

And I can turn them
into beautiful gems...

and make them top stars.

That's how I made my Do Ra a star.

- Mr. Jang.
- Yes.

- Director Hong.
- Yes.

Please help me this once.

For my Do Ra's sake.

Oh, dear.

Hey, where's Pil Seung?

He went out to the site
with the camera director.

Really?

Sook Ja.

Don't you need a female extra,
by any chance?

- A female extra?
- Yes.

This is a new actress
Park Do Ra's mom is training.

Do you have a minor role
that she can play?

Actually, we were...

looking for an actress in her 20s
for about 3 scenes.

And I like her face.

You do? I'm glad to hear that.

Let her play the role.

Okay. I'll talk to Director Ko.

Fine. Tell him...

that it's Mr. Jang's favor.

- Okay?
- Yes, sir.

- All right. See you.
- Yes.

Yes, Director Hong.

Are you serious?

Are you sure
Do Do will be on the project?

Yes.

It's a minor role that appears
in three scenes. Is that all right?

Of course, it is.

I owe you big time.

I just did as I was told.

Mr. Jang took care of it.

Really? I don't know
how I can ever repay your kindness.

By the way, Director Hong,
what about the script?

She can't practice without a script.

When can we get one?

We need the main director
to approve it first.

You will hear from them soon.

Okay. Thank you so much.

Yes. I'll be waiting.

Yes. Thank you.

My goodness. I can't believe this.

This is so nice.

It's me, Do Do.

You've been cast.

Yes.

So don't do anything silly.

Just make sure to stick
to the diet I gave you and exercise.

Don't go out, okay?

If I catch you messing around,
you'll be in big trouble. Okay?

Ji Young, I'll see you there.

Bye.

Okay.

Do I look all right today?

[Tae Hee]

It's me, Tae Hee. Yes.

I was going to give you a call.

I guess I'm a little late.

It doesn't matter who calls first.

I know you're busy.

A foreign investor came to visit
a few days ago,

so I've been really busy.

I was all over the place.

Really?

I was hoping
we could have dinner together.

And watch a movie.

I see.

I'm so sorry,

but I have dinner plans
with the investor tonight.

I'm sorry, Tae Hee.

Don't be. I understand
your work comes first.

Tae Hee, what about tomorrow?

I'll see you tomorrow then.

Bye.

Hello, ma'am. I'm Tae Hee.

Hey. Welcome, Tae Hee.

This is for you.

It's puer tea.

Jin Dan told me
that you liked puer tea.

This is rare.

Really? I love puer tea.

Thanks.

I've always wanted to meet you.

You're beautiful.

Come on. Not anymore.

I was quite good-looking
when I was younger.

You still look gorgeous.

I guess he's handsome
because he takes after you.

My gosh. Do you really think so?

Of course.

Ma'am, when I date a man,
I do care about his looks.

I'm not easily satisfied.

Aren't you sweet, Tae Hee?

By the way,
why do you have to wait a year...

when you two are so into each other?

That's exactly what I thought.

But there are
a lot of divorces that happen,

so my parents are worried.

They don't want me to make
a decision that I might regret.

I guess they have a point.

But I think you guys are
old enough to know better.

I'll talk about it with Jin Dan.

Okay. Have some tea.

What? Isn't that Jin Dan?

Who's that girl next to him?

- The person you have reached is...
- Gosh, he rejected my call.

That brat.

He told Tae Hee
that he had a meeting to attend,

but he was seeing someone else.

That's just wrong.

How can a unit
be this spacious and nice?

Anyway, why are we here?

If you like the place, move in.

Me?

Goodness.

You and your silly jokes.

I wasn't joking.

I told you before
that I'm fond of you.

I don't want the woman I like...

to live in some dingy unit.

But I don't have the money
to live in a place this nice.

The unit is in my name,
so move in at any time you want.

How could I live
in a unit this nice for free?

What gives me the right?

That's insane.

It isn't.

Being my girlfriend
will give you the right.

Sorry?

What I mean is that
being my girlfriend...

will have its perks.

That's something to consider
while you make up your mind.

- Perks?
- Yes.

Goodness me. Forget it.

I'm not shameless enough...

to live in such a big unit
all by myself.

Besides, I like
where I'm currently staying.

It's small, cozy,
and puts me to sleep easily.

The unit is nice, I give you that.

You're Do Ra's substitute.

You'll keep me company in her stead.

We should get going, then.

Why is that nobody
playing hard to get, though?

Of course.
Hunting is all about the chase.

Sure. We'll film
the vacation home scene...

at the place we scouted today.

Right. Great work.

Did Ji Young head home?

Don't tell me...

she went to meet Mr. Gong
since work ended early.

Hey, Grandma. It's me.

Yes, I guess I'm done at work today.

What?

You're near
the broadcasting station?

Pil Seung.

Ma Ri, just a second.

Come here.

Grandma, what's going on?
Why are you with Ma Ri?

You see,

I felt bad for Ma Ri...

that I arranged this today.

What do you mean by that?

What else could I do
when she likes you so much?

She calls you a prince...

and says her heart pounds
when she thinks about you.

I felt bad for her,
so I brought her here.

It's only one meal.

Make her wish come true
just this once, Pil Seung.

Grandma,

that doesn't mean
you can spring this on me.

I feel bad for her.

Ma Ri isn't like
other girls her age.

She's sick.

But she comes by our house
all the time...

looking for you,
and she can't take her eyes off you.

Besides, she's the daughter...

of your mom's best friend.

Pil Seung,

you'll be blessed one day
for being nice to her.

Unbelievable.

I didn't know your grandma
had other plans today.

Please don't get the wrong idea.

I only came to see her
because she suggested this meal.

I hope you don't get the wrong idea.

I won't, so dig in.

Sure.

Mr. Ko,
I want to get to know you better.

Our moms are friends,
so let's be friends too.

I don't have many friends...

and would love to have you...

as a friend.

Sure. I'm fond of Ms. Jang,

and she's friends with my mom,

so we should also get along.

To celebrate this day,
I'll treat you to today's meal.

That's ridiculous.

I should treat you instead
since I'm older.

Really, Pil Seung?

When you call him,

don't call him by his name
which makes you sound too young.

Just go with Mr. Ko,

and he'll see you more
as a romantic interest.

Sure, think of me as a big brother.

Our moms are friends, right?

It's fine, Mr. Ko.

I'd rather
just address you like that.

Is that so?

Do what makes you feel comfortable.

I don't mind it either way.

Sure. Thanks, Mr. Ko.

So you spent time with her
and now you're driving her home?

I see.

Her driver said...

she was out with a friend
which is what I believed.

Isn't Mr. Park around?

She sent him home.

Anyway, I'm almost there.

I see.

I appreciate you calling me.

Sure.

What on earth?

Do Jun, where are you?

I'm waiting for Ma Ri
at the restaurant parking lot.

What? Ma Ri's heading home
in someone else's car?

Yes, so don't wait for her
and head home.

How did she get in touch
with Pil Seung?

She even lied to Do Jun
about meeting a friend.

Darn.

What am I going to do about Ma Ri?

Hi.

Hey, Pil Seung.

I hope Ma Ri didn't put you out.

I'm sorry about this.

It's all right.

We grabbed a bite to eat
and had a great time.

Mom, I had so much fun
with Mr. Ko today.

We went to an arcade together...

and had ice cream together
on the street.

I see.

I'll get going, then.
Have a good night.

Sure. Drive home safely.

Thanks.

Mr. Ko, until next time!

Sure. Bye, Ms. Ma Ri.

Hold on.

What on earth is this?

You didn't even tell me...

and made him wait for you.

Lied to Do Jun
about meeting a friend,

I wanted to get a ride home
from Mr. Ko, that's all.

What?

And why do you keep calling him that
when he's like a brother to you?

What's wrong with that?

I didn't want him
to see me as a young girl,

so I'll be addressing him
by his last name.

Only that way will he see me
for the grown woman I am.

Is that why?

He treated me
like a young lady today...

and not like a baby sister.

Ma Ri, please.

You promised me and your dad
that you'd move on from him.

Mom, according
to Pil Seung's grandma,

he isn't seeing anyone.

Why should I move on
when he's not taken?

Why should I give up?

I'll keep making a move...

- until it works.
- What?

Ma Ri.

Why are you both outside?

Dad.

I had a date with Mr. Ko today.
It was just the two of us.

You have no idea how much fun I had.

What? What do you mean by that?

Are they still on their date?

How nice would it be
for them to go on a few dates...

and end up together?

Hold on.
Where are the Korean melons?

- Darn.
- Mother.

Mother, I heard you set Ma Ri up
with Pil Seung.

Yes, that I did. What about it?

Mother, what is the matter with you?

Why are you causing trouble
for everyone?

What?

Soo Yeon was barely able
to get Ma Ri to move on,

but she called just now...

saying how upset she was
to see Ma Ri hopeful again.

Ma Ri has the biggest crush
on Pil Seung.

We even grant wishes for the dead,

so how was it wrong
to set them up on a dinner date?

Ma Ri isn't like the girls her age.

And it's a problem...

because she likes him
when he doesn't like her back.

Exactly! Your friend
should be grateful...

since I set up a dinner date that
would've never happened otherwise.

What's your friend's problem?

And she calls herself the mother?

How could she not be considerate
of her daughter's feelings?

So heartless!

I'm home.

Gosh, Pil Seung.

I heard you met with Ma Ri today.

I bet it was tough.

Hardly. It was fine.

We had dinner together
and talked a bit.

I owe Ms. Jang that much.

I'll head upstairs, then.

Sure, go ahead.

Hey.

Pil Seung just said he was fine.

I'm home.

What's with Mom?

Did you two argue?

You...

Were you aware of it too?

Were you and your mother
in this together again?

What are you accusing me of
out of the blue? Come on.

Hey!

Hyun Chul doesn't know anything.

What do you mean we colluded?

Also, when your husband
comes home at night,

you should ask how his day was...

and if he had dinner!

You have no right to say anything...

even if Hyun Chul
ends up cheating on you.

Do you get it?

Why you...

My gosh.

What is it?

Is someone having an affair?

Seriously?

Do Jun!

Ma Ri.

What's up?

Sorry. I wanted to apologize
for today.

I'm glad nothing happened to you.

Still,

I'm your driver
and also your bodyguard.

If I can't be there to protect you,

there's no point in me staying here.

I said I was sorry.

I won't pull
something like this again.

Will you forgive me?

Fine.

If I had told you
to go home without me,

you would've insisted on waiting...

and would've told my mom.

That would've ruined my plans
which left me with no other choice.

So, did everything go as planned?

Yes, Pil Seung and me...

I mean, this day
will go down in history...

as the day Mr. Ko and I
had our first date.

The excitement alone
will keep me up tonight.

I'm glad to see you're happy.

Gosh.

No way.

Hey, what's going on?

Can I touch your biceps?

No.

Just this once. Come on.

Fine.

Just this once.

Sure.

No way!

Look how firm it is.

Do Jun, that's so cool.

It's really nothing.

Ma Ri must truly be infatuated
with Pil Seung.

A meal with him
has her on cloud nine.

Honey,

this won't do.

I'll take Ma Ri...

and live in the US for 1 or 2 years.

She'll study art design
while she's there.

What do you think?

I can't agree to that.

She had a hard time
adjusting in the US.

That's why she had to come back.

It wasn't easy for her
to make new friends there.

It wasn't easy for me
to be alone here either.

What else can we do?

How can we get her
to lose interest in Pil Seung?

Honey.

Don't worry too much.

We'll see how things go.

I'm grateful
for what Pil Seung did today.

For having a good time with Ma Ri.

Pil Seung is a fine young man.

The two could end up together.

But even if it doesn't work out,

this process...

could help Ma Ri mature.

Besides,

Ma Ri won't agree to go to the US.

I'll wash up.

Sure.

It's not like Pil Seung
is interested in Ma Ri.

After a while,
this will only exhaust her.

Ji Young, I treated you
to dinner today,

so we still have
two dinner dates left.

I should've treated you
to the meal today.

I can't believe
you got the bill before me.

You won't make up your mind
about being my girlfriend,

so I'm desperately trying
to buy some time.

Anyway, let me know
by the end of our last dinner date.

Although I'd like it more
if you got back to me before that.

Sure thing. Get home safely, then.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Gosh.

I see he isn't your boyfriend yet.

So why did you lie to me?

You should know that I have
already made up my mind.

I'm only taking my time
because I want to be sure.

What was that again?

That's right.
I'm playing hard to get.

Either way, he isn't
officially your boyfriend yet.

Right, we're just flirting.

How's that for an answer?

Anyway, why are you interested
in what goes on in my life?

You're being a nuisance.

I didn't think you'd be this way,

but you can be quite unfair.

Me?

What do you mean? I'm not like that.

Then why do you have meals
with Mr. Gong...

and not me?

Have three meals with me
and then decide.

I don't want to.

I don't want to have meals with you.

Why not?

I have my reasons.

Which is?

You said there was a reason
you couldn't like me.

Be honest with me first,
and I'll return the favor.

What is it? I bet you can't tell me.

Then don't ask me
about what I can't tell you either.

I bet it makes you curious.

It must get on your nerves.

Judging by how you can't tell me...

proves that there wasn't a reason
to begin with.

You were testing the waters with me.

But now that
I'm dating someone else,

you're poking at me again.

I'm not that gullible, you know.

I know everything that goes on.

So don't test the waters
with me again.

This is driving me crazy.

Hey. Who was that woman
from earlier?

Who had you smiling?

You even lied to Tae Hee
about meeting up with investors.

What woman?

I saw you earlier.

You were on a walk
with another girl.

Are you already seeing
someone else on the side?

What if your aunt
finds out about this?

Jin Dan, you promised to behave.

Aren't you going to marry Tae Hee?

What are you talking about?
Of course I'm going to marry her.

Then who was that woman
from earlier?

Who is she to me?

Oh, her?

She's an interpreter
for foreign buyers.

Is she the reason you're on my case?

Are you sure nothing's going on?
Is she really an interpreter?

Yes.

What's going on?

Jin Dan, is something up?

Gosh, no.
He played a silly trick on me.

And here I thought
something had happened.

You're lucky to have a son like him.

By the way,
Tae Hee's family reached out.

Tae Hee wants
to bump up the wedding.

- Does she really?
- Yes.

She must be fond of our Jin Dan.

Let's get a date set soon.

Are you okay with that too?

Yes, but...

I think we should take the time
to get to know each other more.

Why bother with that
if you like each other?

Tae Hee's pretty
and pleasant and I love her.

Her family's pleased with you too,
so good luck with her.

Okay.

Jin Dan.
Things are going so well right now.

Don't you dare get in trouble.

I trust in you.

Trust me, Mom.

I'll marry Tae Hee. Don't worry.

Director Ko. There's something
I forgot to tell you yesterday.

The male lead's blind date.

They want you to cast her.

It's the station director
and Director Hong's request.

Do Do?

I've never heard of her.

[Do Do, DOB October 23, 2001]

She has zero work experience.

Yes, but...

the station director
made a special request.

The station director?

Who is she?

[Baek Mi Ja, Baek Entertainment]

Baek Entertainment, Baek Mi Ja?

It's Park Do Ra's mom's new agency.

I guess that's why
the station director asked.

Say no.

What?

The male lead
goes on this blind date...

after breaking up
with his liar girlfriend.

It's the drama's
last source of conflict.

It's an important scene,

and I can't use someone
with no experience.

Make it clear I said no
and find someone else.

Okay.

Do Sik. Hang in there.

I'll get myself settled...

and open you a store, okay?

Mom.

I don't want or expect that at all.

Please, just don't get into trouble.

I'm going out.

Watch out for motorcycles.

Goodness.

I need to get things
back on track soon...

for Do Jun and Do Sik's sake.

Why won't they call...

Gosh.

- Director Hong.
- Ms. Baek.

I'm so sorry.

I don't think
it'll work out this time.

Why not?
You said it was as good as done.

Do Do's a great actor.

I just heard back from the team.

It's too important a role for her.

Is it?

Director Hong.

Can you tell me who the director is?

I'll bring Do Do over
and see if she can impress him.

Will you do that, then?

You know the guy.

It's Ko Pil Seung, my assistant
on "Straightforward Romance."

Who?

Ko Pil Seung?

- Please, Mr. Jang.
- Well...

If she can't have that role,

can you find her something else?

There aren't
any other roles available.

That was just perfect.

But it won't happen
if the director said no.

Ms. Baek.

I'll give you a call
if I find something else.

There's always tomorrow.

There isn't. I go down for good
if this doesn't work.

I need you to get me that role.

Okay. I'll try again.

Why won't he pick up?

Sook Ja. Is Ko Pil Seung there?

He's not picking up.

What? You don't film today?

Sook Ja. Listen.

The thing I asked about.
Is there nothing you can do?

Really?

Okay. Take care.

It's a no.

You know I have
a fancy station director title...

and desk and all,

but I'm powerless.

If the drama director says no,

it's a no.

I'm sorry.

Ms. Baek.

How could I live
in a unit this nice for free?

What gives me the right?

Being my girlfriend
will give you the right.

Then why do you have meals
with Mr. Gong...

and not me?

Have three meals with me
and then decide.

Don't date him.

I'm against you seeing him.

Yes.

It's not just because of
what the director said.

Mr. Gong's a bit iffy.

Does it make sense that I can...

live in that fancy apartment
for free?

Grandma said...

nothing in the world's for free.

You pay for everything in the end.

If I were to live there for free,

what else would I have to pay with?

Is being his girlfriend the price?

I might have nothing to my name,
but that's wrong.

We don't film today.

Hello?

We don't sh**t today.
What's the occasion?

Ji Young. I need your help.

Come here, quick. Hurry.

Goodness.
What's the matter, Director Ko?

Where are you?

Director Ko!

[Seoul International Garden Show]

What's going on?

What is happening?

What happened to the director?

I've never heard him
speak like that.

What disaster is he facing?

Director Ko.

Where are you?

Director Ko!

Ji Young. I'm right here.

Director Ko. What's going on?

Are you okay?

Were you worried about me?

I'm just fine.

What?

Did you...

dupe me and pretend
something had happened?

Do you know how concerned I was
while I was on the way here?

I thought my heart would shrivel!

Gosh.

Is that how much you care about me?

I'm so touched.

Is this a joke?

Why do you think I went this far?

I wanted to go on a date with you,

but I knew you'd say no
if I asked you out.

I had no choice but to lie.

For that, I'm sorry.

Goodness.

Forget it.

Ji Young. Let's go on a date.

At least give me a chance.

You're not dating Mr. Gong.

That means you're not two-timing...

or cheating on him.

You can do this, Ji Young.

Go on a date with Mr. Gong
and then with me as well.

And then decide
who you wish to be with.

This man is truly a bad man.

He's a bad man
who's shaking my world.

Let's go.

Why am I letting this bad man
drag me off?

Hello.

What's this?

It's a gift
we're handing out to visitors.

Thank you.

It's pretty here, isn't it?

Well, yes. It is pretty.

You need to bow with thanks
to the flowers.

If it weren't for them,

I'd have slapped you for lying.

I'm letting it slide
because of the pretty flowers.

Thanks, flowers.

You saved me.

Ji Young. Stand here.

We came to such a great place.

We should take a photo
as a souvenir.

I guess you have a point.

Could you take
a photo of us, please?

- Sure.
- Thank you.

Are you ready?

One, two, three.

Director Ko and I...

kind of make a cute couple.

My gosh, Kim Ji Young.
Why are you being like this again?

You can't be with Director Ko.
Pull yourself together.

Hey.

Ko Myung Dong.

Today is the day, right?

They are announcing the winners
of the screenwriting contest today,

right?

What? Hey.

Did you not make the cut again?

Gosh, this is really upsetting.

You must remember
that you promised me.

You promised...

you'd quit writing screenplays
if you failed again.

You can't change your words
after all this time.

You have to give up
as you promised, okay?

Fine! Will you please stop?

What are you raising your voice for,
by the way?

What?

Congratulations, Auntie Myung Dong.

On what? What are you talking about?

The winners of the screenwriting contest
were announced today,

and your name is on the list.

You won the Excellence Award.

What? Are you sure, Pil Seung?

Yes! Okay!

Why? What's the matter?

Mom. I think I won.

- What? Are you serious?
- Yes.

My goodness.

Hello?

Yes. This is Ko Myung Dong.

What?

Are you serious?

What?

Thank you. Thank you so much!

Why? What's wrong?

- Mom! My gosh.
- What?

- It's true.
- What?

They told me to come to the office
next Wednesday.

With the necessary documents.

- My gosh.
- Mom!

- That's my girl. My dear.
- What do I do?

- You're the best.
- What's going on, Mother?

- Sun Young.
- Yes?

Sun Young, Myung Dong finally won.

Myung Dong is
becoming a screenwriter!

- My goodness. Are you serious?
- My gosh.

- Sun Young!
- That's great.

I can't believe this.

- I'm so happy for you.
- You finally did it.

- Mr. Ko.
- Yes.

Please train him.

Okay.

Manager Ko Hyun Chul has
the highest seniority here.

- Make sure to learn a lot from him.
- Yes, sir.

- And work hard.
- Yes, sir.

All right.

Cook it evenly like this.

And when it's
about 80 percent cooked,

place it on the grill like this.

Excuse me.

One moment.

Hello?

Yes, Mom.

What did you say? Are you sure?

Well...

Excuse me.

Cheers!

- Cheers!
- Cheers!

- Congratulations.
- My gosh.

How nice.

Congratulations, Myung Dong.
You've been through a lot.

Congratulations, Myung Dong.
I hope you'll become a writer
with a lot of great drama series.

Thank you, Sun Young and Hyun Chul.

All right.

- Auntie, this is for you.
- My gosh.

- Really?
- What's that?

- Gosh, this is nice.
- Where are you going?

- I'll go get my phone.
- Okay.

Now I can sleep with no worry.

I'm so happy.

Excuse me. Is there anyone in there?

Who's that? Hey.

The voice sounds somewhat familiar.

- What?
- Who is this?

Who would that be?

My goodness.

Hello.

- My gosh.
- Hello. How are you?

Hey. What are you doing here?

How dare you show up here?

Well, the thing is...

I called Director Ko,

and he wasn't answering my call.

Why would you want
to see my Pil Seung?

He has nothing to do with you.

My goodness.
Please don't get me wrong.

I just need to talk to him
about the actress I'm training.

So I'd like to meet
with Director Ko.

Pil Seung, come on down here.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Gosh.

Director Ko, I believe you heard.

I'm here to talk with you
about Do Do.

Let's talk somewhere else.

Okay. Sure.

This is for you. It's a roll cake.

There was a famous bakery,
so I waited in line to buy this.

Please enjoy it.

Here.

- My goodness.
- Please take it.

My gosh.

- Wait.
- Hey, Sun Young.

What is going on, by the way?

This is unbelievable.

Director Ko.

I think I have made myself clear.

You can't just show up
at my place like this.

I wouldn't have shown up like this
if things weren't that bad,

Director Ko.

Please do me a favor this one time.

This isn't about doing you a favor.

She's just not right for the part,
so you will have to accept that.

You know what?

After Do Ra left,
I even went to jail.

And now I live in a tiny room.

My family got split apart,

so I don't even know
where Do Jun is now.

My life had no purpose.

And I can hardly make ends meet.

I was in despair
after Do Ra's death.

So I want to train someone
to be a great actress like Do Ra.

That's why
I'm back in this business.

Director Ko,
please help me this once.

Do Do isn't experienced,

but I can make it happen.

You can't just reject her like this.

It's not like we're total strangers.

I'm asking you, Director Ko.

Please do me a favor
this one time, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'd like you to leave now.

I checked her profile,

and she's not right for the part.

And please don't show up
at my place ever again.

Hey! You jerk!

How dare you treat me like this?

Now that you're successful,
are you looking down on me?

You are the reason
I ended up like this.

If you didn't hit on Do Ra
back then,

things wouldn't have come to this.

You...

Bring my Do Ra back to me, you jerk.

How dare you kick me out
when I came all the way here?

Bring my daughter back, you punk!

My goodness. Director Ko.

- I want my daughter back!
- What are you doing to him?

- You idiot.
- Let go of this first.

- How dare you...
- Please stop it.

- Ji Young. Don't do this.
- Bring her back.

Let go of it already!

- Stop it, Ji Young!
- My gosh.

My goodness.

Gosh.

[Beauty and Mr. Romantic]

I'm a screenwriter now.

I'll make money
and become successful.

So let's start dating again.

I will take care of you.

You don't know who she is.

She's the only daughter
of APP Group's chairman.

Then is Director Ko...

going to be the son-in-law
of APP Group?

So she's from the rich family
that his grandmother talked about.

When I watched your acting,
I had this feeling.

You are really talented.

Will you be the first actress
at my agency?

Why would you start acting?

Do you want to be an actress?

You should never
be an actress, okay?

Ji Young wants to be an actress
like Park Do Ra?

What a strange coincidence.

I just want you...

to lead a happy life
with no worries like you do now.

I can't lead a happy life...

without pursuing acting now.

Do you understand?
