01x03 - Too Much Stress to Handle

Post by bunniefuu »

Oh Han Byeol.

Did you enjoy yourself after sending me to Africa?

Gong, get your facts straight.

I didn't send you. You said you'd go.

So? Is that why you didn't call once?

They dated in university?

There's no denying it.

"News flash. Oh Han Byeol,"

"shockingly revealed to be top star Gong Tae Sung's ex."

"Catches everyone by surprise."

Then what? He still has feelings for her,

and that's why he keeps coming by?

Do you think they're dating again?

When he whispered in her ear, it was so romantic.

Oh, is that why he rushed to see her as soon as he got back?

Yes. That's not just any kind of recliner.

He wants to relax in comfort next to his darling.

Oh, is that why they're pretending to hate each other?

It's a smokescreen.

What was that about Africa, then?

How did Ms. Oh send him to Africa?

I only heard that she sent him.

Why won't you answer?

Well, it's not like...

we were close enough to stay in touch.

You're right!

Even if you'd called, I'd have refused the call.

Oh, would you have?

- Well, then it's all good. - It is all good.

Then I'll go on my way.

- Yes, go. - Don't follow me.

Go on.

I'll go too.

She's coming.

Goodness.

Ms. Oh.

Look at this.

[Photo of Gong Tae Sung's Girlfriend]

What is this?

It came down as soon as it went up,

it's not on any other site, and no one picked up on it.

I still thought you should know.

Ms. Kim, report to me immediately if this photo appears again.

I'll find and k*ll whoever posted it.

Darn it!

Nothing's been going right since Gong Tae Sung came back!

Oh, darn it.

Sure. I wasn't going to take her call anyway.

Tae Sung.

Joon h*.

Hey.

It's been a while.

It has.

I didn't...

call you even once.

Sorry.

Don't worry.

I...

don't have much longer to live.

What?

- You're dying? - Oh, dear.

Why did you bother to come in?

- Are you okay? - Did you eat something?

I can't keep anything down.

Let's go get you an IV drip.

- Oh, dear... - Watch your step.

Can you walk? Left, right.

I can't help but cry.

- Can you manage? - Oh, you don't watch it.

The drama's doing pretty well.

Bend over a bit.

Joon h*...

got a bit too much into character.

He bursts into tears whenever he sees a mayfly.

You...

look like you'll burst into tears yourself.

No, my eyes are just huge.

Goodbye, then.

Yes, bye.

[Episode 3. Are You in Pain? So Am I!]

Cut! Okay, we're done!

- Thank you. - Well done.

- Hey. - What's going on?

- What's wrong? - Joon h*.

- What's the matter? - Is he okay?

Joon h*!

- Get help! - Joon h*!

Are you okay?

Hurry. Get him on my back!

We need help!

Hang in there! Can someone call 911?

He's overworked and undernourished.

With a few days of rest and good food,

he'll be fine in no time.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

I'm so relieved.

Oh, no, Dong Jun. Dong Jun!

Doctor!

[Exhausted Actor Ahn Joon h* Rushed to ER During sh**t]

How are they?

They both got admitted to the hospital.

h* Young, why didn't you get admitted too?

Actually, no. I might as well join them.

I think I might pass out myself.

Sorry, sir.

What about the scheduled commercials and overseas promotions?

The doctor says he'll be fine in a few days.

I went over the related contracts.

As long as there's not too much of a delay, it should be fine.

I'll reschedule everything so there's no problem.

Okay. Will you please make sure you stay healthy?

Passing out costs us money.

For Joon h*'s next project,

find him a role of a cheerful, healthy guy.

No. Get him a character that's filthy rich.

No, that might not be enough.

Let's have him conquer the world!

- We can do that! - Mr. Choi?

Sorry. Okay, so, how is Tae Sung feeling?

He's in great form.

He's our biggest star. We want him to be well.

He has so many commercials lined up.

Be sure to take good care of your actors.

And yourselves too. Actually, no.

Why don't we, as a company, get some psychological maintenance?

Ms. Oh, we have a partner hospital.

- Yes. - Call them and set it up.

For the actors, staff, and even the interns.

- I do it? - Yes.

- Should I do it? - Couldn't you do it for a change?

To create a horizontal hierarchy.

Or perhaps someone else could organize it.

I can't ask you to do it.

Sure, I'll do it.

I should do it, of course. I'll do it.

["The World of Stars"]

Hello, my name is Yoon Jae Hyun.

["The World of Stars" Audition]

You and Tae Sung are with the same agency, Starforce.

Yes. I respect Tae Sung so much,

so I attended his university and signed with his agency too.

People sometimes say I look like him too.

I do see a slight resemblance.

- Thank you. - How about...

you read from episode one scene 23?

Okay.

["The World of Stars" Audition]

Is a half-brother a brother?

We're less than strangers.

Don't ever come here again.

I don't need you. Stay out of my life!

- Thank you. - Bye.

- Kim Joo Hyuk? - Yes?

Come in.

Yu Sung.

Jae Hyun. How did it go?

I think I did pretty well. The atmosphere was great.

Good for you, Jae Hyun.

- Hello. - Hi, Dae Soo.

It's been a while, Jae Hyun.

You look so much more handsome.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Yu Na, you should say hi.

Oh, hello.

Yu Na.

Stand up straight and good luck!

She has a pretty nasty temper.

Did she flunk a year in kindergarten?

She lacks basic manners.

Isn't that bad even if she's successful?

Could she be successful?

She's the daughter of a CEO friend of a friend.

I scheduled her a few auditions just for show as a favor.

Gosh.

You're trying so hard, aren't you?

It's k*lling me.

I wish a promising rookie would fall out of the sky.

- You're here again. - Yes, I'm here again.

So did you give some thought to becoming an actor?

I can't be an actor.

People like you should be actors.

My mother once told me...

streets were full of guys who looked like me.

Where is this street she's talking about?

Then do you have any siblings?

An older brother or a younger brother?

I don't.

- He's so handsome. - He's so hot!

[Flavors on a different level]

He's so hot.

[Smooth flavor that goes down easily]

Right here. And there.

An actor and an actress from our agency are on the wall.

I work for the biggest agency in Korea.

And it's a trustworthy agency too.

It's not because I don't trust you.

You can earn a lot of money.

I make pretty good money now.

Then don't you want to inspire a lot of people...

to dream and hope?

I'm sorry.

The thing is,

I'm happy with my life now.

Mr. Gong hasn't come by lately.

Why did he stop coming?

They probably had a fight, right?

It feels empty here.

Is something bothering you?

Oh Han Byeol.

Did you enjoy yourself after sending me to Africa?

Darn it.

All right.

I'm in the worst mood possible, but I should still work.

This is the questionnaire to assess your stress level.

We need to send it back to the hospital.

So fill it out thoroughly.

- Okay. - Okay.

Are you crying?

[Sales Per Talent]

Were you watching "You Make Me Cry"?

When have you seen me cry over a drama?

I was touched by Tae Sung's sales table.

I bet.

Why the long face?

Don't tell me...

Joon h*'s condition worsened.

No.

He's getting better.

Gosh. Then what's wrong?

- I discovered a gem. - Okay.

But he doesn't want to be an actor.

You're good at signing people.

You're known for your perseverance and endurance.

But this one is really hard.

How did you sign Mr. Gong?

I heard it wasn't easy.

You see,

it was the best day of my career...

when I was a manager.

Eureka.

Excuse me.

I'm from Starforce Entertainment.

[Team Leader Choi Ji Hoon]

So what did you do?

What else could I do? I kept visiting him.

Back then, he was so grumpy.

Mr. Gong Tae Sung.

Even your name is perfect.

It means a huge star in the sky.

It's like you were born to be a celebrity.

Isn't it hard to study to get good grades?

There are other paths than good grades in this world.

Getting good grades...

- isn't that hard. - Hey, mister.

He's first in our class.

Being first doesn't guarantee happiness.

Good grades don't determine your happiness.

Tae Sung, do you know how important money is?

I'll help you make a load of money. Please?

It looks like he's got everything.

There's this favorite movie of mine. It's called "Jerry Maguire".

Have you heard of it?

The movie is about a sports agent.

I decided to become a manager after watching the movie.

You see? Actors...

inspire people to dream and hope. What do you think?

Mister.

If you bother me one more time,

I'll report you for stalking me.

That's what Tae Sung said to me.

But how do you think...

he ended up becoming an actor at this agency?

That's...

my business secret.

Come on!

The important thing is...

he must want to become an actor.

As you know, you can't force someone to work in this industry.

Right.

Anyway,

I wonder what Tae Sung is up to now.

I bet he's lying on the sofa...

and reading a script. Right?

Well, it's not like...

we were close enough to stay in touch.

Come on!

Gosh, Oh Han Byeol.

I know we're not close! You, Oh Han Byeol!

Were you exercising?

- Kick! - Who are you?

You're so disciplined!

This is Do Soo Hyuk speaking.

Mr. Do. Where are you right now?

I'm in the parking lot.

Great. Wait.

Mr. Do.

Is there another crisis?

Gosh, we don't have crises every day.

Here.

[Stress Questionnaire]

Please fill it out.

Well, this is...

The stress-index questionnaire we discussed today.

I'm fine.

I'm not an employee here.

- I don't want to add on to your... - Come on.

You're a part of our team too.

I'm sure you get stressed out a lot handling our problems.

Please treat it as a small token of our gratitude.

Our mental health is important in this day and age.

Of course. Fill it out before 6pm.

Sure. I'll do it. Thanks.

- Han Byeol! - What?

Is there a problem?

Apparently, Ju Hee will be in danger...

- if she stars in the new drama. - Who said that?

- The Baby Shama or the General? - The General.

Oh, no. If she doesn't star in that, she'll be in debt.

- Bye. - Bye.

Her stress index must be the highest at the agency.

Jung Yeol?

I'm sorry.

Tae Sung is putting you through the wringer, right?

No. He's very good to me.

Look at you, Jung Yeol.

You can even lie.

Ms. Oh.

[Stress Questionnaire]

I won't do it.

I'm not going to do anything Oh Han Byeol wants me to do.

Tell her that.

We're not even that close. Why is she making me do this?

So he's not going to do it?

It's his loss then.

I'll take care of it. You can get back to work.

Okay.

Thank you.

As if that's going to bother me.

[Stress Questionnaire]

[Your friends or spouse often say you can't understand them.]

[Most of the people I see regularly don't like me.]

A luxurious car stops in front of the red carpet.

[Oh Han Byeol]

[Oh Han Byeol]

The receiver cannot be reached.

- You will be directed to voicemail. - You're not answering?

The receiver cannot be reached.

Is he ignoring my calls on purpose?

What if this was an important call? How could he not answer?

They really got into a fight. Is it because of that photo?

They can't deny it.

Breaking news. How long will Oh Han Byeol...

and Gong Tae Sung fight?

I feel like I'm watching a drama.

So what's your stress level?

- Mine is 60 percent. - Mine is 75 percent.

Is that high?

Mine is average.

They said if mine went up any more, I'll need therapy.

They told me to control my stress.

But is stress something you can control?

Good point. Every day something comes up to make you mad.

Luckily, the rest of my team is average.

What about Joon h* and Dong Jun?

They both got 90 percent.

No wonder they collapsed.

I worried about Joon h*, but what about Dong Jun?

He sleeps later than the actor,

and he can't eat because his actor can't eat.

He gets more sensitive because his actor's sensitive.

I was like that when I first started out as a manager.

Once he gains experience, it'll get better.

Do actors get affected by their characters?

It's case by case, but it's hard not to.

You have to become your role.

For actors who get completely immersed,

if they play serial K*llers or t*rrorists,

something terrible can happen.

Right. When Park Ji Woo played a psychopath,

I felt suffocated when I got into an elevator with him.

His eyes looked murderous.

He's always so kind too.

What about Gong Tae Sung?

Why would you bring him up?

Gosh. It's probably not even ten percent.

He does whatever he wants.

His shoulders probably don't even get tense.

My gosh.

[Gong Fish]

- Gong Fish? - Yes.

Gong Tae Sung the Sunfish.

He's 80 percent of the reason why my shoulders hurt.

My chief is 80 percent of the reason my shoulders hurt.

Exclusive. Those stupid exclusives.

Oh, right. What happened with that gukbap guy?

I'm thinking it's time to give up.

Seeing Joon h* collapse got me rethinking everything.

Perhaps I'm just dragging him into this world when he was doing fine.

This world isn't easy even if it's something...

you desperately want to do.

Yu Sung!

I really felt like I could do it this time.

I had a really good feeling this time.

I heard that rude brat got it.

It was her first audition too.

I've been a trainee for three years now.

I worked really, really hard.

I guess I should just give up now.

That's not true, Jae Hyun. It's not your fault.

You're doing a good job.

I'm just not good enough.

Yu Sung!

My gosh.

Have a drink.

Gosh, Yu Na...

is like a lucky charm.

How could she pass her first audition like that?

How'd she get it?

["The World of Stars" Audition]

Can you introduce yourself?

Don't you have my profile?

You already know, so why ask?

The role is a rude top star.

They thought she came into the audition in character.

The role is a rude top star,

and she's really rude.

So she just did whatever she wanted.

You know that acting...

Medusa acting. She's incredible.

Method, you idiot.

Method or Medusa, they both start with "Me".

You understood me.

Hey, Min Kyu. Come here.

Come here. Have a seat.

- Hey, Min Kyu. - Hello. How are you?

Good.

He came to our company.

He's in charge of our lucky charm, Yu Na.

Really? You should've gone someplace better. I'm sorry.

You're sorry? Why would you say that?

Why do you feel sorry?

What's the hottest agency these days?

It's DS Actors. What are you talking about?

By the way, what are we going to do about Jae Hyun?

It's all because that one guy got in because of his connections.

I heard he was the nephew of the investor.

Nephew? Why did he have to be his nephew?

My gosh. He's playing Yu Na's partner.

I'm so worried.

Have a drink.

Give it to me. How could you...

- Gosh. - You're here!

Hey. Isn't that guy the guy who got the role with his connections?

Gosh, that guy looks like he's living the life.

What happened with Tae Sung's stress test?

Tell him to do it quickly.

[Oh Han Byeol]

The receiver cannot be reached.

I knew you were getting stressed. Are you watching a movie again?

At this hour, you have the theater to yourself. It's amazing.

It makes me feel rich.

In order to watch the movie safely,

please locate your theater, the exits,

and the closest emergency exit to you.

Follow the arrows to evacuate,

and listen to the employees to exit the theater safely.

- What is this? - What are you doing here?

That's strange. No other seats were taken when I reserved my ticket.

No other seats were taken when I reserved mine too.

Enough.

You don't answer your phone, but you watch movies?

Hey. Be quiet.

The theater you are in is theater number two.

You don't do your assignment, but you watch movies?

Let's just watch the movie.

Hey.

Don't come here ever again.

This is my personal cinema.

What?

I found this place first.

Forget it.

I'll just buy the whole place.

Oh, what a great star you must be.

Great at wasting money too.

Why don't you help the poor instead?

I'm already...

doing a lot for the poor.

See you.

Gong!

What?

Do you really think I sent you to Africa?

- You didn't? - Ask anyone in the street...

who they think is right.

Why don't you ask the public to vote?

You...

Follow me.

Do you think I'll do...

Come with me.

Hey!

I haven't seen this picture in a while.

Long time no see.

So,

whose fault it is you went to Africa?

You want me to help decide?

Next, Gong Tae Sung will pose for photos.

[1 year ago]

["Aim For the Sky"]

Mr. Gong, can you clench your fist?

Wish me luck.

Wait. How did you hurt your finger?

I was filming a stunt and things got messed up.

I apologize.

See you later.

- Okay. - See you later.

- See you. - Bye.

I flipped them off.

That's fine.

I need to go to the men's room.

The dressing room's around the corner.

The dressing room's not...

Darn it.

See? Photos are up already.

[Shin Joo Hyun, Tae Sung's fierce rival]

[Shin Joo Hyun Dreams of Volunteering in Africa]

[Shin Joo Hyun voiced his dream of helping those in Africa.]

Who do you think you are to go to Africa?

Tae Sung.

I want to do volunteer work in Africa.

Why Africa?

[Lee Yoon Woo, Starforce actor, Han Byeol and Tae Sung's friend]

When I become rich,

when I make enough to live comfortably,

I just want to visit.

I want to drill wells for them...

and help them dream.

Okay.

Have fun over there.

Don't be silly.

You're coming with me.

No way.

Why not? Come with me.

I don't want to.

It's too far away.

Oh Han Byeol.

What?

Is it...

hard work, volunteering in Africa?

You're thinking of going?

Yes.

You?

Go to Africa?

Oh, gosh.

You need to calm down.

Your face...

lacks the image a volunteer worker needs.

It's not for you.

Forget about it.

Goodness.

Do you think I can't go?

The great Gong Tae Sung can't go?

The great...

No.

Okay, is that what you say?

I'll go if I want to.

Oh Han Byeol.

I'll go to Africa!

Are you serious?

["Top Star Gong Tae Sung, 'I'll Go To Africa!'"]

So the rumors were wrong.

Is that how you ended up going?

Yes!

He shouted it out to the world.

He insisted on leaving as soon as he could.

He put all the staff through the wringer.

Hey. Who told you to stay for a year?

I wouldn't have if you hadn't laughed at me.

What? Can you not be so stubborn?

- Gwi Nong. - Yes?

Whenever she does this...

with her mouth, do you know how annoyed I get?

Forget it. So, whose fault is it?

Don't let him off because he's an actor.

So...

The blame...

The blame...

The blame's on me.

It's on me...

for having a stomach ache and going to the toilet.

I'll go to Africa!

Can you confirm what you said?

When will you leave?

Why the sudden plan to go?

No...

Why are you going?

Is something wrong?

What's the matter?

[Actor Dressing Room]

Is this your decision?

Darn it.

I went to the men's room without clearly pointing out...

the dressing room, so it's on me.

I'm such a useless manager. I should just die!

- Don't do that. - Don't die, it's fine.

I don't mind.

It's his fault for opening the wrong door.

What stupid idiot would get that wrong?

"Stupid idiot"?

- Do you want to fight me? - Do you?

Why did you yell you'd go to Africa?

You said I lacked the volunteer image.

You got me worked up!

Do all angry people go to Africa?

I did, so what?

You got worked up again. Will you go to Africa again?

- You... - Me what?

What?

Come at me. Africa what?

They're just the same.

- Speak up. - When I'm angry...

The one-year hiatus almost didn't exist.

Why don't you go back to Africa?

- Don't make me do that. - Why not?

Speak up. Let it out.

I can't speak coherently when I'm really angry but...

Mr. Byun?

Ms. Hong.

Hello.

Why are you exercising up here?

Tae Sung has been working out a lot lately.

I've been joining him.

But I'm not as fit as he is,

and while on the treadmill I...

Did you fall flat?

No.

You threw up.

How do you know?

Been there, done that.

Oh, so it's common.

It's not.

Why are you up here?

It's still quite cold.

I have a lot on my mind.

I'm writing a press release about Im Tae In signing with us.

I wrote "Actor Im Tae In, to share a table with Gong Tae Sung",

then I started wondering.

Did they ever actually share a table?

Did they eat Korean food or western?

That's a unique approach.

- Is it? - Yes.

The thing is,

whenever we announce a signing,

we always say the person will share a table with Tae Sung.

I thought he must be so full.

Then I got distracted.

Talking about sharing food made me feel hungry.

Shall we get some hot pot rice?

[Shin Joo Hyun, "Your Afternoon" Drama Lead]

Is it indigestion again?

I'd be surprised if you feel good after losing out on an exclusive.

What?

Can you call yourself a reporter if you miss out on this...

and don't feel sick?

You useless...

[Oh Han Byeol]

What is it?

Well,

can you just fill out the stress questionnaire?

Is that why you're calling me again?

Hey.

Be honest. You're not taking it because you're not stressed, right?

I should have known.

You don't know what it's like to be like the rest of us.

What are you talking about? My stress level is through the roof.

I bet it's higher than yours.

- I doubt it. - Do you want to bet?

Let's do it.

If I win, do what I tell you to do without any complaints.

Okay. Fine.

Then if I win, you take a pay cut for the next three months.

Of all things, you're going after my paycheck?

I see. You don't think you can win.

As if. You're on!

What? She hung up on me?

How is it? Walking relieves some stress, right?

Yes. I feel better.

I've been having poor digestion lately.

And I get sharp pains in my stomach too.

Hey, I think you're the one who's stressed out.

Do you want to try the questionnaire?

Gosh, I'm fine. It's probably my awful boss.

What about h* Young?

She's visiting Joon h* and Dong Jun in the hospital.

Again? Gosh, working as a manager is not easy.

Hey, being a reporter isn't easy either.

We're taking a walk. What is this?

This is the popular spot for celebrities on secret dates.

I got a big scoop when I was on a date here.

Just in case. I can't afford to lose another scoop.

Gosh. She's even more dogged than her boss.

Hey. You can't publish stories on actors from my agency.

No, I will.

Hey! What's wrong?

- My teeth hurt. - Yes.

You're here.

Ta-da. I'm here!

["You Make Me Cry"]

Oh, no.

I finally feel like it's over.

Joon h*. How are you feeling?

I'm happy and sad at the same time that it ended.

But I should try to shake it off quickly.

I feel so bad for you!

Don't cry.

Stop crying.

Joon h*.

Do you not regret becoming an actor?

[4 years ago]

[Manager Ahn Joon h*]

Next.

[Corporate banking client]

Hello.

[Manager Ahn Joon h*]

Hello.

Gosh. You're here again.

This time, I'll invest in a fund this time.

Right. And did you give some thought to becoming an actor?

Well, I... Ma'am.

You can't keep asking me that.

Please.

Take my offer seriously and give it some thought just once.

I'm happy with my life now.

If I stopped trying to sign you then,

would you have a good life working at the bank by now?

My performance at the bank was pretty good.

But h* Young.

I have never regretted it.

I'm happy that I'm an actor.

Well,

it's probably not the best time to say this on a hospital bed.

I get to live a different life for every project.

And that's fun.

And I have you...

who opened up that path for me.

And I have my manager, Dong Jun, who passed out only after...

bringing me to the hospital.

And...

I have...

a very generous...

balance in my bank account.

- Dong Jun. - Yes?

What's our next project?

A volleyball player on the national team.

A very healthy athlete!

- Volleyball! - Yes!

- Spike. - Toss.

I can feel my energy now.

[Entrance to the Emergency Medical Center]

Slow down.

- Don't touch me. Hey! - Hey, what are you doing?

- I told you not to touch me. - Over there. Jung Sang Woo.

- I told you not to do that! - Jung Sang Woo.

- Jung Sang Woo? - Calm down.

- Film him now. - Get your hands off me.

- If you miss it, I'll k*ll you. - Hey!

Hey, what are you looking at?

What are you looking at?

Get your hands off me!

Do you know who I am?

Hey. Let go of me. Who do you think you are?

I told you to get your hands off me!

["Jung Sang Woo Makes a Scene Drunk in the ER"]

Why don't you do that on the chair?

We believe she has acute appendicitis.

After a few exams, she needs surgery right away.

Surgery?

Ma'am, why don't you lie down on the bed?

Give me a minute.

- Hey, you need surgery. - Hold on.

- Just drag her. She won't get up. - I'm almost done.

- Let's go. - Doctor, it's not my time to go.

- Oh Han Byeol. Click it. - What?

Click it!

[Send article?]

That stubborn girl.

I'm glad she's my friend.

She's so scary.

[Si Deok's Gukbap Restaurant]

[Si Deok's Gukbap Restaurant]

Si Deok.

Hey.

I thought I wouldn't see you again.

What?

[Closed, thank you for supporting my restaurant.]

Now that the restaurant was doing well,

the building owner kicked me out. He said he would run it.

That crazy...

That's what th*gs do!

Mark my word. The restaurant will fail!

That stupid owner doesn't know why the business is good.

By the way,

can I really make a lot of money if I become an actor?

I'm a very competent manager.

Are you sure I can do this?

I'm telling you. People like you should be actors.

I'll help you make a load of money.

I'll make you richer than the building owner.

Gosh. That sounds amazing.

But can I start this path just because I want to make money?

Of course, you can.

I even convinced a bank clerk to become an actor.

He's really popular now.

Oh, right. I used to be a taekwondo athlete.

My previous job was a bodyguard.

What that means...

is that I...

will...

keep you safe until the end.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Hello.

Ms. Oh.

What's this? What happened to your face?

Oh, this?

A cat scratched me.

You don't have any cats.

Jae Hyun...

is joining the cast for "The World of Stars".

Really?

No way.

I should write a nice press release for him.

Please write a nice one, Ms. Oh.

Let's go, PR Team!

- Let's go! - Let's go!

I heard he was complete trash when he gets drunk.

I heard the money he paid for settlements from fights...

was equivalent to multiple apartments in Gangnam.

Look at him smile. I hate him.

Hey.

Hey, don't go after him.

Don't watch.

- Excuse me. Hello. - Hey.

My name is Han Dae Soo from DS Entertainment.

That lunatic said he was Han Dae Soo.

- This is driving me crazy. - I'm a fan.

- Hello. - Thank you.

I like to drink too.

If it's okay with you, can I join you for a drink?

- Sure, have a seat. - Thank you.

I'm here with some friends.

He's a fan too.

- Can they join us? - Sure.

Yu Sung, come here!

Drink up!

Drink it all up!

Let's be friends. Speak comfortably around me!

Okay, then!

Yu Sung, let's order some more drinks!

Can we get some more alcohol?

Let's have another drink!

Drink up!

- Drink up! - Let's have fun!

Hey. What did you just say?

- What? - What did I tell you?

- Hey. Let go. - Hey, did you just hit me?

- Don't fight. - What are you doing?

- Hold on. - Hey.

Don't grab me.

What's wrong?

What's wrong? Hey.

Hey.

I said to let go of me!

Don't do that!

Stop.

Hey. Let go of me!

Hey.

You should drink more, you punk.

You can't drink for anything!

Hey.

Hey!

Your head...

[Mission success.]

My face!

[Taerius]

[Tae Sung's fan signing event we've been waiting a year for!]

[Yu Sung]

Hello?

Da Hye,

are you planning on going to Tae Sung's fan signing event?

- No, I'm not. - Yes, you are.

You must be psychic.

Yu Sung,

you know I have a story behind Tae Sung's fan signing event.

Can't I go...

if I cover myself up?

Do you think you can? No way.

Do you want dating rumors to go around before you start filming?

No! Of course not.

Tae Sung shouldn't get connected to someone as lowly as me.

I'll hold myself back.

Okay. Do that.

[Love is Gong Tae Sung.]

[Gong Tae Sung]

[I can only see you.]

[Tae Sung, Yu Ri]

[I love you, Gong Tae Sung!]

[Hearts, I love Tae Sung, So handsome]

- Hello. - Hello.

Thank you.

[To Yu Ri]

[To Da Young]

[Gong Tae Sung]

[To Ah Reum, Gong Tae Sung]

[Gong Tae Sung's Fan Signing Event with Taerius]

Thank you. Next.

Hi.

He's so handsome.

He looks different from how he looks in the office.

- What's your name? - Maria.

- He's a total top star. - Maria?

I should've studied Russian.

Isn't that Mr. Kang?

- You're so handsome! - Yes.

He's famous for being a handsome manager.

He even has a fan club. It's called Yusungwoo.

The woo stands for friend,

and it means they want to become Yu Sung's friend.

That's incredible.

Zoom in more.

A long time ago, he took a rookie actor on an audition,

and the casting agent mistook him for the actor,

and he almost auditioned.

I'm not surprised.

Kang Yu Sung still has it.

- This is a gift for you. - It is?

Thank you. I'll use it well.

Can you put this on?

This? Sure.

- Is it okay? - You look so pretty.

It looks great on you.

He's tired.

- Can we take a photo together? - Sure.

- Here you go. Thank you. - Thank you.

He's smiling.

The corners of his lips are higher than usual.

That's Gong Tae Sung's capitalistic smile.

Otherwise, known as GCS.

- What's your name? - Seon A.

- Seon A. - Me too.

Excuse me, Ms. Oh?

Can we take a photo together?

Can I leave my bag with you?

I have a lot of stuff with me.

- Sure. Leave it here. - Thank you.

And Jung Yeol.

Gong Tae Sung's getting tired, so give him this.

Okay. Thank you.

[Gong Tae Sung's Fan Signing Event with Taerius]

Thank you.

Next.

[Stress Level Questionnaire Results]

What?

Does Gong...

think getting 100 puts him in 1st place?

Gosh, I'm going to get a pay cut!

Darn it.

What about Joon h* and Dong Jun?

They both got 90 percent.

No wonder they collapsed.

Thank you.

[Epilogue]

Let's start the rehearsal.

Punch him.

Okay.

- Is he doing okay? - Yes.

Okay. Let's practice one more time.

- Okay. - Why did you buy so much?

- Okay. - Okay.

- Let's go again. - Let's try it.

Okay.

- Tae Sung. - Hey. I'm good now.

Are you tired?

Not at all.

Is Han Byeol going somewhere?

What? Oh.

Doesn't she look nice? She has a blind date later.

What's wrong? Did something get in your eye?

Oh, no. I'm fine now.

Let's sh**t!

Okay!

Let's do this!

I have to go.

Tae Sung!

- Are you okay? - I'm fine.

- Where are you hurt? - My middle finger.

I think I sprained it.

[Shxxting Stars]

Stop complaining and dock your pay.

You make more in an hour than I do in a year.

Darn you.

He's really sweet.

Welcome, super rookie.

Did they start filming "The World of Stars"?

Let's do this.

I feel so much better without Tae Sung around.

Where's Han Byeol?

What do you think is going on between them?

They look great together.

Are you dating Tae Sung?

Help me.

Why? What's wrong?
