01x15 - Are We All Stars?

[bunniefuu]

What are we going to do, honey?

What will happen to us?

What if we really go bankrupt?

Mom, stay still.

How can I stay still right now?

Goodness, I must've been

possessed by something.

Why did I want to get into

the construction business at this age?

Gi-cheol.

-What?

-How much of the news is real?

And how much of it are lies?

What?

I need to know to come up

with a countermeasure or prepare.

Did you really create a slush fund

to sponsor Ahn Sang-tae?

I

Well

Hey

Someone as greedy as Ahn Sang-tae

wouldn't have taken it just from us.

-What?

-I'm not exactly sure,

but I'm sure he took money

from all kinds of people.

But if they singled us out

and pointed their finger at us,

it means they wanted to destroy us!

Political contribution?

That's just an excuse!

Who's trying to k*ll us? Why?

I know!

-Jang Tae-jin!

-Mom.

What?

What are you talking about?

Jang Tae-jin said I'd pay for

grabbing Kim Da-li by the hair.

He's the one behind this.

What? Are you serious?

And you're telling me this now?

It's not always easy to find the answer.

Good grief!

-Honey.

-Look at you!

RESTRICTED NUMBER

Please calm down, sir.

Goodness. no! Hold on!

-Hello?

-Are you okay?

-Goodness!

-Goodness.

Please calm down.

How's the situation?

The police haven't summoned you yet,

have they?

Jang Tae-jin planned all this

to get rid of me.

You must feign ignorance at all costs.

Don't forget that.

See you on the other side.

Wait a minute, sir.

What is it?

Can you tell me his number, please?

If you're not going to explain

what you're talking about, you should go.

I'm busy.

This is Jang Tae-jin.

I sent you a video.

Why don't you check that?

No. I can't bury the truth.

Something came up.

You should go.

What was that?

-What do you mean?

-That sounded like my father's voice.

Don't be absurd.

Am I wrong?

You are.

A recording of our executive meeting

has been leaked.

This will be a headache.

I need to hold a countermeasure meeting.

When will you go to the police station?

-What?

-Didn't you get the papers?

-What papers?

-Si-hyeong is looking for you.

He refuses to see his lawyer

and his own father,

but he wants to see you. Isn't that odd?

-Is there something you know?

-What must I know?

He tainted your late father's name

just to get out of trouble.

Do you expect me to help him out?

Do you actually believe him

because you consider him family?

I have no connection to that junkie,

so why would I receive official papers?

This must be quite serious.

The leaked recording, I mean.

You rarely raise your voice.

How could this not be serious

when sensitive information

regarding our company has been leaked?

Da-li. I'm sorry, but I have no time

to banter with you.

You should go. I'll call you later.

No. I can't bury the truth.

If something is rotting,

it must be carved out.

If there's been a mistake,

it must be corrected.

That way, you can get back on your feet.

I won't condone you

just because you're my nephew.

Will you be able to handle this?

What did you think?

-Who are you?

-We should meet, shouldn't we?

Answer me!

Gosh, you're hurting my feelings.

We greeted each other once.

Who am I?

I'm Jin Gi-cheol of Dondon F&B.

What?

Dondon?

Gosh, what an impudent scumbag.

Don't take it to heart.

He's just an idiot.

Do we know each other?

We greeted each other a while ago

when Assemblyman Ahn introduced us.

I'm not sure. I'm drawing a blank.

I'm from Dondon F&B.

We mainly deal with franchises these days.

But we'll be doing business with you

soon as well.

I'm Jin Gi-cheol.

I see.

All right.

Why are you playing a joke on me?

A joke?

I see. A joke.

Do you seriously think

I'm joking right now?

They're currently seizing documents

at my company.

Should I hand over that video as well?

Or should I upload it on the internet?

Should I?

Do you want to see your own downfall?

I don't think you have a solid grasp

of this situation.

Should I tell the world about what you did

to Director Kim Nak-cheon?

I am

your lifeline.

I, Jin Gi-cheol, am the lifeline

of the high and mighty Jang Tae-jin.

Don't try to pull something on me.

Stay still and wait for my call.

What a cheeky scumbag.

Gi-cheol.

Darn it!

Hey, Mu-hak.

What's wrong?

What do you mean?

Why are you all worked up?

Were you speaking with Jang Tae-jin?

What?

You just said his name.

Don't be ridiculous.

Jang Hae-jin. It was Hae-jin.

How would I know his number?

It was just a former schoolmate.

He's been so cheeky with me

because I've been treating him too well.

Where are you off to?

What do you think?

We need to have a meeting.

A meeting? For what?

We have to release

a statement to the press.

And we have to explain the situation

to the franchisees.

They'll start investigating right away.

We should get ready too.

The legal, accounting,

and PR teams are all waiting.

-You're not coming in?

-You don't need me there.

You can take care of it.

What?

Gosh

I'm sure nothing will happen.

Don't worry too much. Okay?

Have a good day. Good day.

I definitely heard him say

that Jang Tae-jin's life

was in his hands or something.

I'll attend the meeting alone.

I need you to do something else.

Sir!

Hey

I need you to look into Jin Gi-cheol

from Dondon F&B.

Jin Gi-cheol, not Jin Mu-hak?

Find out about his preferences,

personality, friends, and girls!

Everything.

Get me everything you can find on him.

Yes, sir.

One more thing.

I'm listening, sir.

I'll need you to call Mr. Ha

and his men back.

Goodness

I wonder if he'll show up today.

Won-tak, what do you want to eat

for dinner?

A burger?

He died because of me.

When he died, I

I

Not feeling a burger today?

Hey, you heard him too, right?

What?

Kim Si-hyeong said that Director Kim died

because of him.

What did he mean by that?

He probably meant it figuratively.

I heard he caused a lot of trouble

when the late director was alive.

Once parents pass away,

children always feel so guilty.

The late director was a father figure

to Kim Si-hyeong.

This is Jang Tae-jin.

No. I can't bury the truth.

It was definitely Dad's voice.

You were here.

Auction Sell called

that they would be here sometime next week

to pick up the pieces.

I see.

You must feel so sad

now that you are selling it.

Right. Choi Gi-chang and Gu Hae-yeong

will join the exhibition as well.

Other artists must consider this

as a good opportunity too.

Isn't this great?

I'm glad.

This will be another star-studded

exhibition of ours.

Wait, Ms. Song.

Yes?

By any chance

Should I put them in a bag?

Can you?

I already talked to Lawyer Cha.

He will help you.

You still think you're better than me.

The museum is very busy.

We have to get ready for a new exhibition.

And we have to set up a system

to rent out our space.

I guess you were pretty good at your job.

Your absence is definitely felt.

Can you come back?

I know that it requires a lot of courage.

It will be uncomfortable

to see the museum staff.

But I hope you can muster up your courage.

I need you.

Why are you doing this to me?

We all started as a dot.

What?

That dot caused the Big Bang

and created stars, the sun,

and the Earth.

So

in a way, we are nothing but dust

and stars at the same time.

Gong-ju.

We were never some cheap dolls.

No

You're here. Come inside.

It was a tough day, wasn't it?

Not seeing you was tough.

Nothing else.

Is there anything I can do to help?

You're helping right now.

What?

This is helping.

By the way

Does Won-tak never work late?

Why does he always have to

come back home on time?

Maybe he's doing it intentionally

because he's jealous.

I wish he'd go undercover.

Mu-hak

Wait. Let's stay like this a bit longer.

Mu-hak

This is nice.

Hey

What happened to your voice?

Are you impersonating Won-tak?

Hey

Won-tak.

Hello, Won-tak. Why

Why did you come just now?

I've missed you.

I was dying to see you

This is so childish.

You don't know when to exit, do you?

You're so clueless.

This is my house.

You're the one who doesn't know

when to leave.

You're claiming your rights to this room?

What

If you don't like it, leave.

Leave. This is my house.

Please leave.

When did I say I didn't like it?

I'm just saying

you're being cheap and dirty.

Leave if it's so dirty.

Please leave.

What's going on?

-Nothing.

-Nothing.

You know how to do stuff like this?

Mu-hak taught me.

Eat up.

I followed the recipe. I hope it's good.

Why? Is it bad?

No!

It's hot but so delicious.

Anything with oil is delicious!

-Eat

-Is it?

Then we might need more.

I'll go make some more.

How can food taste like this?

-What on earth did you teach her?

-Exactly.

These ingredients can't taste bad.

I think I'm going to throw up

if I eat one more bite.

What did you say?

I was saying it tastes unique.

Well, I added my personal touch

to the recipe Mu-hak taught me.

-I see.

-Nice.

You and Mu-hak have been going through

a tough time lately.

So I added Vitamin B, magnesium,

propolis, and red ginseng.

I grounded anything

that's good for you and added it.

So that you can feel better after eating.

I see.

That's why.

Kim Da-li.

Why aren't you eating?

Why are Jin Mu-hak and I the only

You come here and eat.

Right

I'll make the rest, so come and eat.

Actually, it didn't taste good to me.

I think the smell

was too much for me while cooking.

Right. That can happen.

Wait just a moment. I'll make more.

I can't.

Why do I suddenly feel like

going to the bathroom?

I have to use the bathroom.

I have to go.

-It's hot.

-I'll make some more.

Should I make more?

Are you crazy?

Why are you giving me the bigger piece?

You said you eat a lot.

That the amount you eat

doesn't even compare to regular civilians.

You work in the food industry.

You have the stomach for this.

-I'm going to die. I really

-Eat it.

I feel like throwing up.

Please

Don't fight over it.

-Is it that good?

-Of course.

-Yes.

-It's good.

You're both eating so much.

Maybe I'm good at cooking.

I'll go make some more.

Don't go, you jerk!

What?

-To be honest, you have zero talent in

-Eat up.

One more plate!

What's going on with Kim Si-hyeong?

Did he reveal anything?

Do you know how dangerous it is

to divulge secrets mid-investigation?

You're a civilian. Don't even try.

What investigation secrets?

They're always airing them on the news.

Don't be so stuck up

and give me some details.

And who knows? We might have

some information too.

Is he still only asking for Tae-jin?

Yes

We're still convincing him.

I actually went to see Tae-jin

earlier today.

Why did you go there?

I heard something weird.

Something weird?

Tae-jin answered his phone

while he was talking with me.

Then he opened up a file after he hung up,

and I could hear my dad's voice.

A recording of our executive meeting

has been leaked.

This will be a headache.

Tae-jin said a recording

of their executive meeting was leaked,

but it was definitely Dad's voice.

And Tae-jin seemed to be flustered

unlike his usual self.

Da-li. I'm sorry, but I have no time

to banter with you.

You should go. I'll call you later.

What was it about?

I'm not sure, but

"No. I can't break the truth?"

Or maybe "I can't bury the truth."

Something like that.

When was that?

Do you remember what time it was?

Around 2:40 p.m.?

Before 3:00 p.m.

That's around the time

my brother was talking to Jang Tae-jin.

I don't think you have a solid grasp

of this situation.

Should I tell the world about what you did

to Director Kim Nak-cheon?

I am

your lifeline.

To be honest, I think the day

Director Kim passed away

my brother met with him.

I was supposed to go,

but due to my business trip

to the Netherlands,

he went instead.

Why would I meet with him?

Wasn't that the day

when I left for the Netherlands?

You were going to visit him on my behalf.

Well, I couldn't go see him

because Dad threw a huge fit

when he found out about the loan.

How could I have visited him

when he was going berserk?

I needed to stay low.

But

he insisted that he never went.

It's a bit suspicious.

My guess is that

my brother definitely saw something

there that day,

and he's threatening Jang Tae-jin

with whatever that is.

-Threatening?

-What did he see?

I'm not sure.

What if my brother was the one

who sent the file

that Jang Tae-jin received today?

To be honest,

Kim Si-hyeong said something weird too.

Before he got arrested,

he cried and said to his dad

that Director Kim

passed away because of him.

He died because of me.

When he died, I

I

He might be saying that

because of the things he did.

But it keeps bothering me.

Jin Gi-cheol, 35 years old.

His real name is Oh Gi-cheol,

but he changed his name

as soon as the family law changed.

Under his mother's support,

he ventured into telecommunication,

entertainment,

advertising, and more.

But all of his businesses were failures.

He currently holds

the chief director title of Dondon F&B

without doing any actual work.

He's quick-witted yet timid.

He's not wise, but he's greedy.

He's not someone

you should be worried about.

You can let him keep his pride up

and put an end to everything.

The problem isn't Jin Gi-cheol.

It's what he has.

DIRECTOR JANG TAE-JIN

That rough-and-tumble idiot

has a b*mb in his hands.

And it's a ticking time b*mb.

Is Mr. Ha ready?

Yes

If things fall through,

we have to be ready

so that he'll never dream

of fighting back.

Your brother went back home.

He didn't show any suspicious moves.

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Goodness

Uncle, what brings you here?

To the airport? Right now?

Gosh. I received a message

that your aunt's condition

has deteriorated.

You should at least stay

and see Si-hyeong.

I don't know the extent

of the crimes he's committed.

But he will have to pay

for what he has done.

If he still considers us as his parents

after he pays everything off,

I'll see him again then.

Well

From now on,

the Cheongsong Cultural Foundation

and the Cheongsong Scholarship Foundation

It would be great

if you can take care of them.

Uncle

It'll help with revitalizing

the museum too.

I left my power of attorney

with Lawyer Cha.

Well

the name Cheongsong

gets passed down through its spirit,

not through blood.

That's something Nak-cheon said.

I couldn't accept that

and grew apart from him.

It's not because of you.

Please forgive me.

It was

very petty of me.

You don't have to come out. It's okay.

I'll visit you

as soon as I figure out everything here.

Sure

DIRECTOR JIN MU-HAK

How are things at the branches?

We gave out an announcement,

but the owners are anxious.

And it also affected customer reviews.

Can you plan a huge event?

Not something that isn't worth doing.

Something big.

The head office will pay for everything.

Yes, sir.

How's my brother?

He's the same.

He leaves the office

and comes to work on time,

and eats lunch with the chairman.

I snuck a peek at his schedule,

but there was nothing special.

Is that so?

JIN GI-CHEOL

Where is he going?

He didn't have anything on his schedule.

It's him, isn't it?

That jerk.

-Where are you going?

-Aren't you going to arrest him?

What good will that do now?

-Let's go.

-Let's go.

Darn it!

I told Tae-jin to come, not you.

I have nothing to say to you.

Tell Tae-jin to come.

Did you k*ll him?

What are you talking about?

What did I do? What?

Did you k*ll him?

Did you k*ll my dad?

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me, Da-li.

It definitely wasn't me.

Why would I? It really wasn't me.

Then was it Tae-jin?

This is your last chance

to redeem yourself.

Tell me.

What happened that day?

It wasn't me!

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Ahn Sang-tae had been visiting Uncle

for the past few years.

I told you. I have no intention

of selling my museum.

No matter how many times you ask,

my answer won't change.

So

don't waste your time and energy.

Just leave.

How about you tell me

how much you want?

It'd be nice to rake in a hefty sum.

You can build

a brand new museum over there

where it's quieter.

Let's build

a new city here,

after demolishing everything.

You know your father well.

He was never the type to give in.

Mr. Ahn.

Do you think

that's the right thing to do?

Breaking and demolishing everything

then rebuilding?

Pulling out all the trees

and making the mountains barren?

Allow me

to keep this place.

Help company workers, mothers,

and young people who live in tiny rooms

to come here and seek solace.

Whether it be the rich or the poor,

the President or the homeless,

shouldn't there be

a place of comfort they can always go to

with just one ticket?

I just can't get through to you.

His next target

was me.

If you drink this,

-you'll be my girlfriend.

-Okay.

Bottoms up!

I'm going to someplace nice!

Hey

That's when I started using drugs again.

-Let's go.

-I had no choice.

If I didn't listen to him,

he was going to let the world know

about my drug addiction.

I thought Uncle would accept the offer

to protect our family.

Uncle

However

he told me to take responsibility.

He said he'd call the police on me

if I didn't turn myself in.

If you committed a crime,

you should pay for it.

That's where everything went awry.

It was just supposed to be a threat.

But if the police got involved,

Ahn Sang-tae, who was behind this,

wouldn't be the only one exposed.

Jang Tae-jin

would be exposed too.

No. I can't bury the truth.

If something is rotting,

it must be carved out.

If there's been a mistake,

it must be corrected.

That way, you can get back on your feet.

I won't condone you

just because you're my nephew.

Will you be able to handle this?

What?

So Tae-jin was the mastermind.

People have it all wrong.

Those who are wealthy

tend to be more money-hungry.

They'd be willing to

betray their parents,

children, and siblings.

If the redevelopment pans out,

they'd be raking in billions.

Of course, they'd become greedy.

In this world,

Uncle was the abnormal one.

Will this incident end

solely as a drug scandal

caused by the Cheongsong family?

Cheongsong Museum of Art

served as a foundation

for the country's lack of cultural arts.

Your family invested their money

and passion into this museum.

People will be greatly disappointed

and upset once they find out

that this museum

had been smuggling drugs all along.

All along?

Was this not your first time?

Didn't you find the drugs?

Did it seem like he could use all of that?

What?

Did you smuggle and sell those drugs?

His house, his cars

Did it seem like your allowance

could cover all that?

Many of the artworks in your storage

have been swapped

with imitations.

The originals were shipped abroad.

How

-How could you?

-Uncle!

Just let the redevelopment happen.

Once the green belt is lifted,

Assemblyman Ahn said

he'd cover up my drug scandal.

Let's build a bigger museum.

And I promise to turn over a new leaf.

I will never use drugs again, Uncle.

Please save me!

So this was what you were scheming

all along, wasn't it?

You colluded with Ahn Sang-tae

to make the redevelopment work.

Is that why

you pulled Si-hyeong into this?

I will never give in.

No. Over my dead body.

This

This museum is

Uncle, what's the matter?

What's wrong?

Uncle!

Uncle!

Uncle! Wake up! What's wrong?

Uncle!

-My medicine.

-What?

Your medicine? Where is it?

He said, "Over my dead body."

Then we should make that come true.

What will you do?

What?

You

You

You

Director Kim.

Director Kim.

Wait

Hold on.

I should call 911. No.

Was it 112? 114? Darn it.

Which one was it?

They are on their way.

I told him to bring their passports

just in case.

JIN GI-CHEOL

GI-CHEOL

MU-HAK

MU-HAK

The receiver cannot be reached.

You will be directed to voicemail.

Please leave a message

Gosh. So this is how it feels

to have the world at my feet.

That was easy.

Gosh

You startled me.

You should be careful.

What if you fell?

But tell me if that's what you want.

I was just joking.

Don't be nervous.

I see. So you like to make jokes

about k*lling people?

That's enough for jokes.

Let's talk about work now.

We should.

Come on.

Do you think I'm an amateur?

Hand over what I asked.

Then I'll hand over my phone.

I included Dondon Constructions

as a subcontractor

of the development projects

Segi Group is pushing forward

with, like you wanted.

I asked for more than this.

I can't stop the prosecutors

from investigating your company.

-What?

-Don't worry.

They can't charge you with bribery

for a redevelopment plan

that hasn't even been confirmed.

If you're unlucky, you'll just pay

a few million won as a fine.

Why don't you see it as a fee

for your lesson?

Fine. Whatever.

It's your turn now.

What?

I was just joking.

I don't break my promises

like some douchebag.

Stop doubting me.

This is the only copy?

Everything including my computer

and laptop was seized.

If I made other copies,

it wouldn't be this quiet, would it?

You need to trust me. We're friends.

Aren't we?

Come on.

I'm glad that our meeting went smoothly.

I hope I never have to see you again.

What are you talking about?

We just became friends.

We should see each other often.

I don't make friends.

I like friends.

I guess you'll have to make a friend

because

I decided to be your friend.

Bye, buddy.

Yes!

How unfortunate.

I'll instruct them.

Yes, sir.

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

DARLING

Hey, darling.

Where are you?

I was working.

Why do you sound so down, darling?

Did something happen?

No

Will you be late?

Why?

Do you miss me?

-Yes.

-What?

I'm so glad you're by my side.

Wait, if you keep doing that,

you'll make me feel dizzy.

You know that

I love you a lot, right?

Fine, I give up. I lose.

If you miss me, what can I do?

Stay right there. I'll run over right now.

-Did you find him?

-No.

Go that way.

-You go that way.

-Okay.

Open up!

Who the heck are you?

No, wait. Please!

-You jerk!

-What are you doing?

-Cut it out!

-Stop that!

-What is this?

-What the heck is this?

Darn you!

You punk! You!

-Take this!

-You jerk!

Darn you.

-He's not there.

-Darn it!

Hey, get back here.

Darn it.

Take that.

That hurts.

Darn it!

What are you doing? Stop!

They're cops, you idiot!

-What?

-Jin Mu-hak.

Mu-hak.

Mu-hak!

Mu-hak, please.

-Hey.

-Mu-hak!

No, Mu-hak.

I need to go see my darling.

Hey, Jin Mu-hak.

Hey, hold on.

-Jin Mu-hak.

-Mu-hak!

-Hey, Mu-hak!

-Stay with me!

-Mu-hak!

-Jin Mu-hak!

Mu-hak.

Stay with me, please!

Mu-hak!
