YEAR 2012

HANKUK UNIVERSITY

I, Noh Ae-jeong,

have three outstanding qualities

you will only grow to love.

A, five years of delivering newspapers

prove my drive and constant diligence.

B, four years of working

as a supermarket cashier

exhibit how precise and meticulous I am.

Enjoy the movie. Hello, sir.

-C, I'm one to never give up

-Please head left.

-on my dreams.

-Enjoy the movie.

-Welcome.

-You can knock me down,

but I will always get up.

And that is why I, Noh Ae-jeong,

hope to join Korea's number one

film studio Ten Film

Shinyi Media

At Thumb Film's Accounting Department,

I will showcase my three traits

and deliver--

-I'm sorry, sir.

-We're in the middle of an interview!

Take it outside.

EPISODE 1

Seriously?

Have you not heard of silent mode?

I apologize.

Apart from part-time jobs, are you

familiar with any accounting software,

or programs like Microsoft Excel,

PowerPoint, or Word?

I used PowerPoint in university.

Right. Well, according to your resume,

you apparently dropped out of university.

That's right.

Dropped out in 2006? Hold on a second.

One, two

How many years of study did you complete?

I dropped out

halfway through my senior year.

Wait, hold on a second.

You only had a semester left,

so why did you choose to drop out?

Was there some sort of an issue?

Ha-nee!

-Ma'am, you're here.

-Goodness.

I apologize for being late.

I couldn't get off work earlier.

It's all right.

-It's nothing, but

-Gosh, thank you.

Ha-nee.

The truth is

MY FAMILY, MOM

The kids must've asked

why she didn't draw her dad.

It's my fault

for not being attentive enough.

MY FAMILY, JEONG-U, DAD, MOM

DAD, SISTER, ME, MOM

Ha-nee, when your mother gets home,

why don't we light up a candle

and make a wish?

No?

But it's Christmas Eve.

You can wish Santa for something--

That's a lie.

What do you mean?

Santa doesn't exist.

Just like my dad.

Ha-nee, your dad is up in heaven--

That's a lie.

Why is that a lie?

Ha-nee,

let's just say that he died, okay?

Why?

Well,

your mom wants to think of it that way.

Why?

Well

You see,

there are some people

you'd rather wish were dead.

You'll understand when you're older.

Why?

Well

How about your mom and I promise

to make up for your dad?

What? My goodness.

DISCOUNT FOR NEW LOANS

Was there some sort of an issue?

-Ms. Noh?

-Sorry?

THUMB FILM EMPLOYEE RECRUITMEN

APPLICANT: NOH AE-JEONG

If you have nothing else to say

I became a mom.

I got pregnant at 23

and had to raise my child alone.

I wasn't able to continue my studies,

but I don't regret any of it.

Caring for my daughter wasn't easy,

but it was a joy to see her grow up.

She turned six this year.

Oh, I see.

When she was young,

I could get by on part-time jobs.

But she needs to start school soon

and I want her to dress in nice clothes.

-That's why I'm looking for stability--

-Right.

I hear you loud and clear.

RESUME: NOH AE-JEONG

Gosh!

In we go.

What's wrong?

What on earth happened?

Mom, no. Stay back.

Mom?

Ha-nee, stay back. You'll hurt yourself.

Mom, keep her there.

I lost my grip and it fell.

It's all my fault.

It's not your fault.

The cheap cup is to blame.

Just a second, Ms. Noh.

Why a film studio of all places?

Other companies have

accounting departments,

but you applied for a job

at a film studio.

That's what I want to know.

It's over now.

Wait there. I'll be right over.

YEAR 2006

Because I had a dream.

DIRECTED BY OH DAE-O

PRODUCED BY NOH AE-JEONG

Before I became a mom,

my dream was to become a film producer.

That was so cool!

-Congratulations.

-It was awesome.

That was incredible.

I can be asked to push pencils

for all I care.

Working at a film studio in any capacity

would be enough.

Is that important?

That dream of yours, I mean.

I may be barely scraping by,

but that hasn't changed who I am.

I promised myself

when I first learned that I was pregnant.

My dream, my life, and my child.

I wasn't going to give up on any of them.

I know it won't be easy.

However,

I want to set an example for my child.

I want her to see me achieve my dream.

What is it? Was that from

the company you interviewed for?

Were you hired?

Grandma, what does "hired" mean?

The silence is k*lling me.

Answer my question.

Come on.

Mom.

I'm hired.

They hired me.

-Really?

-I got in.

-My gosh!

-Mom?

-Goodness me.

-What's "hired"?

My gosh. Sweetie pie!

My adorable little puppy.

I can't believe it, Mom.

It's too good to be true!

-Goodness.

-Mom?

What a miracle.

Have you all made a wish?

All right, then.

Let's see who blows out the candles first.

One.

Two.

Three!

-Merry Christmas!

-Merry Christmas.

Have a good day.

Gosh, it looks brand new.

DRY CLEANING

MR AND MRS DRY CLEANING

-Look. Isn't mine adorable?

-I picked that first.

-No, I did.

-Come on. We'll be late for school.

Hurry!

Either you watch that or eat.

Stop nibbling and do one or the other.

Why leave the TV on

when no one's watching it?

Unbelievable.

The key to success these days

is multitasking.

How about I multitask on you

and smack you front and back?

I'm back!

Ta-da. Fresh from the dry cleaner's.

So you can start afresh at your new school

and keep the momentum going

until you graduate.

As if I'd be able to really start afresh

in a second-hand uniform.

That's rich coming from someone

who had to transfer schools

only one month into the semester.

Also, know this.

This will be the last time

you transfer schools.

Your days of swapping schools

are now long gone.

-Fine.

-This is for you.

-What's this?

-Your personal sandbag.

Don't get into trouble on your first day

and squeeze this hard

when you want to hit someone.

If that doesn't work,

get in their faces

and threaten them with words.

You call that parenting?

Mom, that hurts.

By the way, when will your company

pay your last month's salary?

I already told you

that it'll be wired soon.

Anyway, a big investor will come by

to hear our presentation today.

Is that why

you stayed up all night working?

Who's the director?

Bong Joon-h*? Park Chan-wook?

I can't believe you know those names.

What else would I expect

from a daughter of a film producer?

Stop changing the subject.

After the last film tanked,

most employees in the company resigned.

Who would this investor

even bet his money on?

Who else?

The studio's bookkeeper of eight years

who was promoted as a producer.

Your daughter, Noh Ae-jeong.

How can a bookkeeper

become a film producer?

I may not seem like it,

but I was once a promising student

of the film industry.

My boss finally noticed my talents.

They say that the sparrow near a school

sings the primer.

You've worked there for eight years,

so let's hope you learned something too.

Right, of course.

Wait. What did you just say?

Whatever.

If you don't get paid

at the end of this month too,

you should quit your trash job.

Mom, please. That would be disloyal of me.

Besides, I have a good feeling

about this next project.

Does that mean

we won't have to pay rent anymore?

The rent?

Don't you worry

because I'll buy this darn house.

That's so cool, Mom.

Up top!

THUMB FILM

This is odd.

I can't get in touch with him.

Maybe it's our cell reception.

Maybe he got lost.

It's true that our office

is hard to locate.

He's here!

-Goodness. Welcome.

-Hello.

All right then. Hye-jin,

escort them to the conference room.

-It's this way.

-We're--

Over here.

Here we go. You've got this.

-Faster.

-Go, go!

-Nice.

-All right.

sh**t!

-Go, go!

-Go, go!

-So young and innocent.

-Go, go!

He's not too bad.

-Thank you.

-This is for you.

-Please take this.

-You were awesome.

That was incredible.

School starts in 90 seconds.

Hurry up, everyone.

Gosh, you stink of sweat.

Get your butts inside!

RESPECT YOUR TEACHERS

Stop right there.

Article 13 Section One

of Hanbak Middle School's rule book.

Students without name tags

will receive penalty points

for bad conduct.

Aren't you aware of that fact?

-I'm not.

-Fine.

Then I'll give you a chance.

You have 30 seconds

to clip your name tag in the right place.

-I don't have one.

-You don't?

This is my first day

at this school, you see.

Did you really think

I'd fall for that palpable lie?

Follow me inside

and find out for yourself.

What an attitude

How dare you talk back to a teacher?

Do you want more penalty points?

I think she's telling the truth.

Get your hands off me.

A new student is joining my class today.

I'm glad I got a smart one.

Are you sure she's one of yours?

I think so.

Your name is

Noh Ha-nee, right?

That's right.

I'll take her with me then, Mr. Jang.

-Shall we?

-Sure.

Have a good day then.

Husband over Flowers,

the new movie of Thumb Film,

follows a woman

who's been single for 14 years

as she miraculously finds love.

The award-winning Director Kim Sang-h*

will showcase his style and vision.

That combined with

the fresh love story

will hopefully draw in the audience

The

audience.

The cost of production

will be 6.6 billion won.

With the costs

for marketing and advertising--

We estimate ten billion won in total.

Right.

How do you expect to

raise all that money?

We hope for you, the investor,

to invest in our movie.

That's a shame. It seems like

there's some kind of misunderstanding.

A misunderstanding?

Thank you.

"Nine Capital"?

Wait, a money lending company?

Why are you here at our studio though?

You boss at Thumb Film

borrowed 700 million won from us.

-What? 700 million?

-700 million won?

That's right, and just so you know,

the principal and interest combined

is 1.05 billion won.

1.05 billion won? Holy sh*t.

Hye-jin, call the boss.

-His phone is turned off.

-What?

As you can see, Mr. Wang is unreachable.

So you, Ms. Noh, must pay back his debt.

Me?

What? Why?

Why me? Why must I pay it back?

-I--

-Because you

stood surety for him.

What is this?

What the hell is this?

JOINT SURETY AGREEMEN

You're no longer our bookkeeper.

You're now Noh Ae-jeong the producer.

Produce a movie of your own

and make a name for yourself.

No. No, don't!

Don't sign it.

Quit paying rents and buy your own house.

NOH AE-JEONG

That's it, Producer Noh.

JOINT SURETY AGREEMEN

Hold on, sir. Wait!

My boss wouldn't have done this to me.

I only thought I was signing off

an investment of 70 million won.

How can it go from 70 million

to over a billion won?

Sir, please. Please forgive me this once.

Ms. Noh!

Sir, wait. Please!

Choi Hyang-ja, born July 5, 1960.

A body scrub master.

She's your mother, am I right?

What the hell is this?

Noh Ha-nee, born February 15, 2007.

Transferred to Hanbak Middle School

due to personal reasons.

She's your daughter, am I right?

Are you serious right now?

You have two weeks to pay back the debt.

If you aren't able to pay by then,

unpleasant things

might happen to those around you.

Don't forget that.

Ms. Noh, are you all right?

Are you sure about that?

And you?

I made

the Statue of Liberated French Fries.

Kids are pretty much the same

whichever school they go to.

Hold on. Right, got it.

Bullseye.

-Did you see that?

-Nice!

-Nice one.

-Good shot.

Sorry about that, new girl.

I bet I startled you.

What should we try next?

Mr. Wang!

Ms. Noh, isn't this breaking and entering?

Where is the b*stard?

-What on earth is this?

-Where is he?

Rat b*stard.

Did he really run off?

-He was already sued.

-What?

Let me see.

Gosh, it stinks.

LIFE IS DO OR DIE

Ms. Noh, isn't this a contract?

PUBLICATION RIGHT OF LOVE IS NONEXISTEN

"Love Is Nonexistent"?

Jeez, this is really old.

The terms aren't even fair.

He left behind stupid trash, that b*stard!

Tell me about it.

It must've been worthless

for it to have been stuck under the pot.

You f*cking b*stard.

I ought to

f*ck

You shitty little jackass!

Please calm down.

Gosh!

Really?

Hello?

Yes. Ha-nee?

SCHOOL TRANSCRIP

STUDENT NAME NOH HA-NEE

MOTHER NAME NOH AE-JEONG

Hello, I'm Noh Ha-nee's mother.

Where is the counseling office?

It's at the end of the hallway

on the second floor.

End of the hall, second floor?

Thank you.

Excuse me, Ms. Noh!

Ha-nee!

Ha-nee!

Ha-nee.

This is Ha-nee's mother.

Yes, I'm Ha-nee's mother.

Look.

This is what your daughter did

to my son's face.

I'm so upset.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

It's my fault.

-Ma'am, I'm sorry.

-Mom.

Come here. Come here and apologize.

-Quickly.

-I don't want her apology.

I want to hold

a School Violence Committee meeting.

Sir.

A School Violence Committee

meeting can hurt all the students.

Mr. Oh.

Are you playing dumb

because it's not your student

who got the nosebleed?

Mr. Jang, that's not--

Anyway, we'll see if the meeting

will hurt the kids or not when we hold--

Ma'am, I'm sorry. I apologize.

-Please forgive--

-Let go. What are you doing?

-I'm sorry.

-I don't need to hear it anymore.

Let's have men settle this.

Where is her dad?

I don't have a dad.

I have no such thing as a dad,

so if you have something to say,

just say it to me.

-Ha-nee.

-I knew it.

There was a reason why she was

-so ill-behaved.

-Honey, stop.

Ms. Noh.

Let me give you an advice

as a fellow parent.

Children from single-parent families

should be raised more strictly.

If you pity them and indulge them,

it shows that they have no dad.

Sir.

Don't you think

what you just said is unacceptable?

She

has a dad.

I'm her dad and her mom.

My kid has never once

been raised with only half the love.

You can charge me for the hospital bill.

I'll fully compensate your son

for the pain he suffered.

But

how will you compensate

for my child's heartache?

I'm sorry for all the commotion, Mr. Oh.

Excuse us. Let's go.

Ms. Noh.

-Ms. Noh.

-I'll see them off.

Please don't mind them.

Mom, I really didn't do anything wrong.

I didn't hit him. He first

Mom?

-Mom, are you listening?

-Noh Ha-nee.

Transferred to Hanbak Middle School

due to personal reasons.

Let's go. We have to go.

-What's wrong? Where are we going?

-Let's go.

Mom, let go of my arm.

Mom, do you really think it was my fault?

Be quiet, Ha-nee.

Ha-nee, let's go home and talk, okay?

Let's go home.

Ha-nee! What are you doing?

Hey.

Why won't you listen to me?

Ha-nee.

Before you say sorry,

before you apologize,

shouldn't you listen to me first?

I asked you already.

I asked you not to get into trouble

on the first day of school.

Never mind. I don't want to hear it.

How long do I have to live

with my heart in my mouth because of you?

Whose fault is that?

What?

It's your fault!

If you hadn't given birth to me,

you and I didn't have to be treated

like sh*t!

This is useless!

No matter what I do,

the fact that I don't have a dad

doesn't change.

That kid, Han Chan-yeong

deserves a nosebleed.

He always bullies me.

Today Ha-nee taught him a lesson.

Nobody has ever stood up for me.

Ha-nee was the only one who helped me.

Ha-nee didn't do anything wrong.

How much did that CEO b*stard

scam you for?

About ten?

It's ten billion won.

What a b*stard.

I realized that you shouldn't call

something the worst so recklessly.

Because that might not be the worst.

Drink up.

I'm buying this for the most

miserable person on Earth today.

Sook-hee.

Why do bad things always happen

all at once?

I'm not sure.

Since they all came at once,

they'll probably leave all at once.

No.

They won't.

Because they didn't 14 years ago.

Would it have been different

if I hadn't met him then?

If you pity them and indulge them,

it shows that they have

no dad.

Bullocks. It doesn't at all.

I look perfect.

-Mom! I'm home.

-Yes.

Here.

-What? Did you drink?

-A little.

Eat this.

Where's Ha-nee? Is she in her room?

I'm her dad

and her mom.

Sir, wait!

Stop. Please wait.

I'm sorry.

Sir!

Thank you.

I'm so tired. Thank you.

-Thank you.

-I almost missed it.

Goodness.

I'm sorry.

Oh, no.

It's creased.

It must be something important.

Yes, I've lost days of sleep

to write this proposal.

What am I going to do?

Anyway, thank you.

Hello.

Hello.

You're Ha-nee's homeroom teacher, right?

Good to see you.

Sorry.

I'm sorry. That was my mistake.

I guess you still don't recognize me.

Pardon?

Long time no see, Ae-jeong.

Ae-jeong, open the window.

Open the window?

I missed you.

Don't worry about Ha-nee.

I'll take good care of her.

Okay.

Goodbye. Go on.

Ae-jeong! See you again.

I'll call you!

Why of all people is he Ha-nee's

homeroom teacher?

This is driving me nuts!

Yes, Ha-nee.

You look happy.

What?

Well

Here.

Thank you for trusting me yesterday.

Goodbye.

Ha-nee.

If you're having a hard time,

tell me, all right?

Thanks for this.

Okay.

Thank you.

HUSBAND OVER FLOWERS

-Excuse me.

-I'm sorry.

Hello, sir.

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

I requested an investment meeting

last time.

I heard Thumb Film went bankrupt.

No, it didn't.

The company isn't in a good situation,

but we're working on something.

Once you read it, you'll see that

the script is very solid.

I heard another company

was working on this.

No, our company signed a contract

a long time ago.

No, this was sold to a different company.

Let me tell you this so you don't go to

another company and get humiliated.

There's no company that would invest

in Thumb Films in this industry.

Sir.

This is Producer Noh Ae-jeong

of Thumb Film.

Ms. Noh, are you really doing this?

Sir, I heard some strange news.

There's a ridiculous rumor going around

that you're working with another company.

People in this industry spread gossip

so recklessly, don't they?

I'm sorry, Producer Noh.

I heard Mr. Wang fled.

He breached the contract first.

-What?

-It worked out for the better.

Thumb Film didn't even have

the ability to produce my work anyway.

I'm still here.

Sign a contract with me again.

You know me.

Since I first met you,

I've been working really hard.

I'll do my best to make your work

-see the light--

-You should give up.

Please, sir.

Producer Noh.

This is your first film, right?

Let's be frank. Can you bring in the money

and hire all the actors I want

for this film?

Well

I know you've been working really hard

for several months,

but you don't have the ability

to produce my work.

THUMB FILM

SUMMER IN LOVE

CEO of Thumb Film.

CEO WANG SEONG GYU

Ms. Noh.

Did something happen?

No, nothing.

Let's sell whatever we can here.

I'll pay your salary with that money.

But you need the money more than I do.

I'm okay.

For the time being,

I decided to focus on

what to do with the b*stard.

Pardon?

Just you wait.

I'll grab his neck and throw him down

on asphalt.

I'll punch his face

and beat him to a pulp

until all his teeth fall out.

Are you okay?

Goodness.

-It's bleeding.

-Goodness.

Gosh.

Throw this out.

Okay.

Goodness.

This is a really old

handwritten manuscript.

I don't care if it's handwritten or not.

Burn it all!

Okay.

But

this was written by

the author Cheon Eok-man.

Cheon Eok-man.

-This is really old.

-He left behind stupid trash!

LOVE IS NONEXISTEN

"Love Is Nonexistent."

What?

What's this?

Hye-jin.

-A wet wipe

-A wet wipe.

A wet wipe.

Easy now.

Cheon Eok

CHEON EOK-MAN

No way. This copyright contract

It's signed by the best-selling author,

Cheon Eok-man!

Goodness!

-We did it! We're saved!

-Yes!

We did it!

This place is unbelievable.

He must be loaded

since he owns a loan company.

There's a grass lawn!

The house is beautiful.

It's really big.

Ms. Noh.

Yes?

Run!

Stay back!

Get back!

Get back!

Go away!

I was told

that you wanted to tell me something.

Well

Actually

Please have a seat.

Let's go.

Well, actually

I would like to

do business with you.

Business?

This is the copyright contract

of Writer Cheon Eok-man,

the number one author

that investors want to invest in in 2020.

If I make a movie with that,

I can attract over ten million viewers,

and repay the loan of one billion won

in a lump sum with the proceeds.

I'm not sure.

Who would invest in a film company

that was abandoned by its CEO?

There's no company that would invest

in Thumb Films in this industry.

You don't have the ability

to produce my work.

Even if you have the copyright,

who would trust you

and make an investment?

I believe we're both busy.

So you better leave.

Then

why don't you make that investment?

Ms. Noh.

I

only invest in people I can trust.

If it's worth money,

I trust people

and invest as much as I want.

I would even risk my life.

If you give me a chance,

I'll prove that I, Noh Ae-jeong,

am capable as a producer.

Please stop.

Do you mean that you are willing

to risk your life

for this investment?

I'm confident.

Because my life

is in the hands of my family.

Fine. I'll give you an opportunity.

-An--

-An--

-An opportunity?

-An opportunity?

An opportunity?

First, I need someone

to write the scenario.

Cheon Eok-man, the original author,

should do it.

-What?

-What?

Cheon Eok-man?

And as for the actor

ACTOR RYU JIN DEBUTS IN HOLLYWOOD?

How about Ryu Jin?

You see, I'm a fan of his.

Ryu Jin?

Are you talking about that celebrity

who'll be debuting in Hollywood?

Does it have to be him?

There are many actors in Korea.

Like I said, Ryu Jin will be the actor,

and Cheon Eok-man, the writer.

If you succeed,

not only will I settle your debt,

but I'll also invest in the movie myself.

Ten billion won.

Ten billion won?

LETTER OF INTEN

You have eight days.

If you fail to keep your promise,

you should be prepared.

Tell him never to look for me again

and that the next time I see him,

I'll have his head.

-Over here.

-Pose for the camera.

-This way.

-Please look here.

-Hello.

-This way, please.

Okay, thank you.

Please pose.

-Please look this way.

-Please strike a pose.

Okay, thank you.

-Hey, Hye-jin.

-Ms. Noh.

I've almost arrived at Mr. Cheon's house.

How's it going over there?

It doesn't look easy,

but I'll have to make it work.

You said you guys knew each other.

I'm sure he won't ignore you.

Right.

We did have a special relationship.

Please pose for the camera.

Okay, thank you.

Jin.

Jin.

Well

Let's kiss.

HELLO, DAN-BI

IN THEATRES APRIL 20

Not too long ago,

you were invited to Hollywood

and came back to Korea this morning.

Have you brought back some good news?

I'm just doing my best at all times.

Did you meet with Director James Caramel?

He's a big fan of Korean cuisine.

Does this mean

you're set to debut in Hollywood?

I think around next week, I'll be with

James under the Californian sun

with a glass of mojito in my hand.

Who's the co-star?

No comments on that.

Since many people

have been waiting for me,

I'll make sure to hold

a press conference soon.

I look forward to today's movie,

and I hope many of you will check it out.

Thank you.

Jin!

Jin!

Jin!

Jin!

Jin, don't go to Hollywood. Stay with me.

Wait!

-Wait a minute!

-Jin!

-Move aside! No photos!

-Jin!

Jin! Hold on!

RYU JIN'S DIEHARD FAN BARGES IN

DURING A MOVIE PREVIEW

So you couldn't meet him?

I'm going to try again.

I'm going to visit his agency

or even his house.

Good. You said you guys had

a special relationship.

You will find another opportunity.

Special?

Yes.

We were almost special.

-Noh Ae-jeong!

-Noh Ae-jeong!

-Noh Ae-jeong!

-Noh Ae-jeong!

-No.

-Just drink it!

You said you would!

No. Just give me the penalty.

-Writing her name with her butt!

-No!

Seeing how much alcohol is left,

she should kiss someone to make up for it.

You're right!

No way!

-Lucky you.

-Come on.

-With whom?

-Me, of course.

No, not you.

I

will pick

whom to kiss!

-What?

-Come on.

Here I go.

-All right, let's go.

-Ae-jeong.

-Let's go.

-Ae-jeong.

-Let's hurry.

-Wait up!

-Hey!

-Wait!

I'm curious to find out.

Wait for me!

Open up!

Let's go.

-Hurry up.

-Hey!

-What?

-Look at her!

Jin.

Jin.

Well

You see

So

Let's kiss.

No!

What is that?

That's disgusting!

Ae-jeong, what about we go somewhere else?

My shoes.

My shoes!

My shoes!

My shoes

My shoes!

Hey!

What?

We're no match for Hollywood.

Don't be ridiculous.

We have the almighty Cheon Eok-man.

I'm not sure about that.

I can't seem to reach him.

What? You can't reach him?

Jin!

Jin!

Jin! I got some ointment. Let me see.

Oh, come on. I'm fine.

Not at all.

She should've collapsed

on top of me instead.

What if the wound scars?

Hey.

I'm really fine.

Rather, I'm happy.

I witnessed a fan who loved me so much

that she'd pounce on me.

Jin.

Oftentimes, I'm so proud

to be your manager. No.

I'm so proud to be your close friend.

It doesn't matter how much

this world changes.

Once a brother, always a brother.

Got that?

Jin!

How on earth did a fan

barge at him like that?

How could you let Jin fall down?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

Ms. Song.

I'm sorry I got worked up.

I was worried that you were badly injured.

Anyway, good work on the audition

and the film preview.

While we wait for James Caramel

to call back,

how about we have a party

to celebrate your return?

-I've reserved a place.

-You can have the party without me.

I have a previous engagement.

With whom?

No one told me about this.

With Kwae-nam.

Let's go grab a drink,

Kwae-nam.

Okay.

I should take the ointment.

Jin.

THIS IS NOH AE-JEONG FROM THUMB FILM

HELLO, MR. CHEON EOK-MAN

I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE

WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOVIE

WITH A SCRIPT YOU WROTE

SINCERELY, NOH AE-JEONG FROM THUMB FILM

Please.

I beg you, Mr. Cheon.

Please take a look at my email.

My future is in your hands.

Please.

To all the gods out there,

please help me out this once. Please.

YOUR MAIL HAS BEEN SEN

ANNUAL SPRING LITERARY CONTES

How great is he

that everyone loves him so much?

Let's take a look.

"Love Is Nonexistent."

SHE VANISHED. SHE LEFT ME OUT OF THE BLUE

"When it was announced that

the wish of the winner will be granted,

I swung the sword with all my might

with the thought that I could finally

tell her how I felt."

"As I held her hand for the first time

and as our eyes met,

I felt as if I was drifting away."

Do not hold the sword in your left hand.

Your left hand is close to your heart,

so it will only endanger you

when you wield the sword.

So that was why.

That was why

my sword swayed in front of you.

"Even until then, I had no idea

that the woman I loved wanted to k*ll me."

No way.

Does that mean she betrayed him?

It's a historical piece,

and it's also melodramatic

and action-packed.

This really is something.

THIS IS CHEON EOK-MAN.

IF YOU'RE FREE, I'D LIKE TO MEET YOU

AT MARAGON CITY HOTEL'S COFFEE SHOP

AT 1 P.M. TODAY.

He replied.

Mom!

-Mom!

-My goodness, what's wrong?

Mom, Cheon Eok-man replied back.

He replied!

Cheon Eok-man!

Grandma, what's wrong with her?

-I have no idea.

-Cheon Eok-man!

Who is Cheon Eok-man?

Cheon Eok-man!

He wanted to see me immediately.

He wrote it before he became famous,

so it's special to him.

No way! I think we've hit the jackpot!

Calm down and be patient.

I'm going to persuade him no matter what.

-Okay!

-Bye.

Hello?

Yes, I'm on the 26th floor.

Hello?

Yes.

Okay.

WRITER CHEON EOK-MAN

Is this Producer Noh Ae-jeong?

What?

Hello?

A DIEHARD FAN BARGES IN

THINKING OF YOU WAS WHAT I DID ALL MY LIFE

TO AE-JEONG

Hello.

I'm Cheon Eok-man.

You used to know the writer Cheon Eok-man?

How does it feel to meet me again

in 14 years?

Why do I need that sick b*stard's help?

So you've failed your mission.

No!

You've changed a lot.

How could I forget you, Ae-jeong?

I waited and waited for her back then.

I've missed you a lot.

Will the sun ever shine

for someone like me?
