You think you're only a flaw in my life?

Didn't you ruin that girl's life too?

Woo Soo Bin, you're my one and only regret.

Try going through that day yourself.
See how it feels.

What's wrong?

Is this because of me?

Who said it was your fault?

I went there on my own.

You didn't hit me.

- Ju Yi Jae.
- Keep it down.

Your mom just fell asleep.

Let's talk outside.

[Episode 6]

Were you never going to tell me?

How could I?

If you knew I liked you that much,

you'd get so full of yourself.

So I was never telling you.

You should've slapped me.
Cussed me out, at least.

Don't you remember?

I did all that.

I slapped you and cussed you out.

Ju Yi Jae.

Don't act like it's nothing.

To you, it just happened.

For me, it's been over ten years.

I blamed you plenty.

Without my curses,
you'd be doing a little better by now.

How can you even joke...

I lived with all that ugliness.

Then I saw you again, and it hit me.

I'd been blaming myself all along.

I couldn't forgive myself.

I told you.

My regret wasn't you.

It was me.

Still...

If I hadn't left...

Yeah.

Maybe it wouldn't have happened.

So what?

Can you turn back time?

Or erase my memory?

I'll be sorry.

I'll regret it and blame myself.

- This is why I didn't tell...
- Don't ask me not to do that.

That's mine to carry.

Soo Bin, it's not your fault.

It's not your fault.

It's okay.

You're up already?

You're awake?

I always wake up at five.

You don't have to cook.

Rest, Mom.

I wanted to.

I'll leave breakfast for you.

Eat whenever you want.

- Where are you going?
- Home.

Your father will be up soon.

Mom.

I brought your things.

Just a few clothes for now.

Tell me if you need anything else.

Soo Bin...

It's been so long since I had your cooking.

Is this doenjang jjigae?

This one with the sun is for the morning.

After lunch...

You're usually gardening then,
so I'll draw a flower.

You're a smart one.

If I'd known I'd live this long,
I would've learned to read.

It's not too late.

Why bother? I'll be gone soon.

You said that when I was a student.

Yeah, you're right.

The crescent moon is for dinner.

And the one before bed...

A smile!

Bedtime is my favorite.

Draw a big smile.

Okay.

[Take before bed if needed]

I'll check when I'm back from Seoul.
Take them, okay?

Yeah, I will.

If you fall again,
you could really hurt your back.

Okay.

Mom.

You'll take good care of Grandma, right?

Of course.

Don't worry.

Just focus on your work.

Goodness. Look at your face.

How can you care for anyone?

My arms and legs work just fine.

Put me to work.

Good. He had to find out someday.

It's over.

What do you mean, over?

What's he going to do? Go back to America?

He dragged her into this movie.
He'd better see it through.

Well, they'll still make the movie.

I mean Soo Bin's heart is done.

What heart?

Love.

- His love.
- Stop talking nonsense.

Hey.

That's the irony of love.

A woman may stay with a man who makes her cry.

But a man can't stay with a woman he made cry.

- Why?
- Because it hurts.

It tears him up.

But he can't show his tears.

- That's what men are.
- Young Jae...

My son.

How did I raise you like this?

All thanks to you, Mom.

That wasn't a compliment.

Hey.

Do you still have pins in your leg?

That's your good morning?

I looked it up.

They probably fixed it with a plate.

Yeah, it's still there.

I'm basically Iron Man.

Why didn't they take it out?

They couldn't.

It's too close to the nerves,
so they left it in.

Does it still bother you?

When is it the worst?

- Right now?
- "Right now?"

Let me see. Where?

You wouldn't know by looking.

I need to know how you're doing.

It doesn't affect my daily life.

Does it hurt sometimes?

It aches when it rains.

And after I walk or run a lot.

Especially at night.

Does massage help?

Are you taking anything?

Why are you writing that down?

It's not that bad.

How bad is the pain, from zero to ten?

Depends on my mood.

Then I should keep you in a good mood.

Wait.

Then what about that night?

When you kissed me and ran.

What on earth was I thinking?

- Forget it. Don't follow me!
- You're getting soaked!

I couldn't sleep for a lot of reasons.

How bad was it?

On a scale of zero to ten...

Kidding.

So what do you do when it hurts?

I just tough it out. What else?

How do you tough it...

See you later.

Thanks.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

You must've been uncomfortable.

- Huh?
- Just wait.

What's wrong?

I've got it. Don't worry.

Hey...

What?

- What is this?
- Where should I put it?

- What?
- You're here. This way.

- Okay.
- Careful.

What is all this?

It's a thing.

Be careful.

I worried for nothing.

Aren't you going to try it?

I read all the reviews. This one's the best.

[Gyeongseong Love Song]

Finally, we finished it!

Nice work.

How did it feel writing again?

Writing is like riding a bike.

Once your body remembers,
you don't really forget.

Do I sound kind of obnoxious?

You forgot all that hair-pulling.

I didn't.
And I know this is only the beginning.

So...

Drinks to celebrate the first draft?

I'm in.

[CEO Song from Taebaek]

I'll get it.

I didn't know you had these here.

Yeah?

They're like trophies from my reporter days.

You got a lot of awards.

Fine. You pick tonight.

[CEO Song from Taebaek]

I'll go with this.

Good choice!

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Good, right?

Yeah, but it's pretty strong.

I never thought you'd become a reporter.

Neither did I.

How many years was it?

There was this old tree. I climbed it.

I kept it safe so I could steal it later.

What's your favorite scene?

Your arrogance,
thinking this one will be a hit too.

I never got full of myself
just because I got famous.

You were just too c*ck back then.

[Gyeongseong Love Song]

[Screenplay / Director]
[Woo Soo Bin, Ju Yi Jae]

Director Woo.

It looks like a whole new place.

What a great studio.

Is this too small for a housewarming gift?

No, thank you.

Even billionaires use toilet paper.

Thank you. Where's the DP?

Hey, Ian!

[Director of Photography]

Hey.

Long time no see.

- What's up?
- You still love gummies?

Can't live without them.

Your script made the trip fly by.

You must still be jet-lagged.

Not really. Feels more like a trip.

I've been here before. 20 years ago.

We shot "Silent Waves" here.

[Lighting Director]

You scared me.

- You're the lighting director, right?
- Right.

I'm Kim Gwang Il. Even my name shines.

Hello, everyone!

I'm Shin Seok Gi, the sound mixer.

[Sound Mixer]

[Art Director]

I'm Namgung Se Ra, the art director.

Hello.

Thank you all for coming all this way.

By the way, where's Director Ju?

Oh, right.

A staff meeting now?

I'm not ready for this.

Why can't this thing find the location?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Sorry...

- What do you want?
- Directions!

I just wanted directions!

- Who asks strangers for directions now?
- I'm serious!

Director Ju Yi Jae?

Who are you?

[Assistant Director]

I'm Ryu Sang Mok, the assistant director.

- I'm so sorry, sir.
- Oh my.

- You okay?
- That hurts...

You touched me out of nowhere...

- You twisted my arm out of nowhere.
- Sorry...

- This way, please.
- Thanks.

Hello.

- You're here.
- Hello.

- The parking lot's far, huh?
- Yes. I got totally lost.

I ran into Director Ju right out front.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

I'm Ju Yi Jae.

At least we got to meet you.

Good to see you.

Maybe we should save introductions
until after location scouting.

We should hurry.

- No time to waste.
- Let's go.

See you later.

You're location scouting now?

Hold on a second, please.

Just a second.

What?

Weren't we having a script meeting today?

Yeah.

While I'm location scouting,
you can meet with the producers.

Why am I being left out?

We can split things up.

You said we'd do everything together.

If you're scouting locations,
you'll probably be hiking.

Are you leaving me out because of my leg?

That's not it.

We're checking sets too.

- That's not what I mean.
- Yi Jae.

I think this is for the best.

Let's just do it this way. Okay?

I'm off.

How many steps today?

Who knows? We'll easily pass 30,000.

- Is he joking?
- Huh?

- Dead serious.
- Jeez.

My knees are already k*lling me.
Must be nice to skip this.

But location scouting is
the heart of pre-production.

It's an honor to join you, sir.

Hey. If it hurts, sit this one out.

I wouldn't miss it.

Come on. Why would you say that?

Gwang Il's feelings are hurt.

- Have a safe trip.
- See you later.

Have a good talk.

Call me if anything comes up.

- Okay.
- Don't worry.

- Have a safe trip.
- Bye.

We organized the scene list like this.

- Next is...
- Here.

Yeah.

Next, I'll go over the directing team's notes.

Are you okay?

You should go to a hospital.

I'm okay.

Did you die on the way?

What took you so long?

The accident report is filed.

This order will be refunded,
so there's no delivery fee.

You okay? Are you badly hurt?

What about repairs?

I can lend you money.

So salty.

This is what you asked for.

So...

The guy Ha Na was looking for...

and the one from the shin incident...

- they're both him?
- Yes, ma'am.

Interesting.

The soup was too salty today.

Ma'am...

She ate it all, then talked crap.

Hey.

[The Woman with Shaky Guts, The Man with Shaky Hands]
Are you doing this?

I hear CEO An is bending over
backward for Director Kim,

trying to get you cast as Shaky Guts.

Your mother must be working hard.

Maybe she'll send burgers next.

This is too childish to listen to.

So what?

"So what?"

I got dropped because of you.
I was Shaky Hands!

Everyone heard we fought, and now I'm screwed.

You were already screwed.

I was up for this first.

I'd already met with the director.

I haven't even read the script yet.
Isn't that your problem?

What? I heard you even wrote the director
a handwritten letter.

What the hell?

So that was CEO An's plan too?

No wonder you're in your own bubble
while it's w*r out here.

Lucky you.

The world must look so pretty to you.

Then take it. It's yours.

Take what? CEO An?

Shaky Hands. You take it.

I'm not staying here anyway.

I'm getting out.

What are you talking about?

You're skipping the wrap party?

- Are you an idiot?
- Yeah.

- Get out.
- You mean it?

I'm doing this show.

You sure?

No taking it back later!

Group photo! Everyone gather up!

- Hurry!
- Everyone, get ready.

Let's take it.

Who are you looking for?

Where did Yu Geon go?

Yu Geon? Who's that?

g*ng Member Number 3.

Oh, him?

He died.

When?

On your day off.

I see.

Come back home already.

You've done enough.

Come learn the business.

It's been two years.

Can't you ask how I've been?

Am I asking you to care for me?
Or bring home money?

Just take over the shop.

I said I don't want to.

Then why do deliveries?

Every motorcycle accident on the news
makes my heart drop!

What you're doing isn't perseverance.
It's stubbornness.

No.

I can do this.

I don't want to end up with a regret
like your guitar.

Why did you come?

To tear me apart?

I just...

missed you, Dad.

But I need to say this before I go.

I'm...

I'm not quitting. I can't quit.

I'm sorry, Dad.

That little...

You have one month left!

If you don't come back,
I'll drag you back myself!

He's just worried about you.

He watches everything you're in.

I don't even know where you show up,
but he knows it all.

"Close-up and down, bust!"

He even knows your lines.

What's the point?

All he ever says is to quit.

Come on. You're Sim Yu Geon, Takeshi Kaneshiro.

The town heartthrob can't look this gloomy.

Takeshi Kaneshiro, my a*s.

Seoul is full of good-looking guys.

Don't lie.

Think I don't know Seoul?

I can talk Seoul too.

"Have you eaten?"

Stop it.

Just watch the road.

"Have you eaten?"

[Bunam Intercity Bus Terminal]

We're here. Get out.

Thanks.

Oh, right.

Here.

- What is it?
- It's from your dad.

I'm off.

Hey! Ju Young Jae!

Hello?

Hello, is this Sim Yu Geon?

Yes, it is.

Who is this?

It's me. Director Kang.

That location manager is driving me crazy.

I told him this place wasn't ideal.

We'd need at least ten assistants.

It'll blow up the budget.

Exactly.

I bet he left it on the list on purpose.

He knew they'd say yes to that place.

He just didn't want to hit more spots.

That's seriously shady.

Director Ju.

Could you talk to him?

Me?

I think I'm missing some context.

Sorry?

The photos in the chat...

Oh, she's not in the chat.

She's not.

What?

You're not in this group chat?

No.

I'm sorry.

- Director Ryu made this chat, huh?
- Yes.

I'll add you right now.

No, it's okay.

Director Woo probably thought
it would distract me from writing.

I'll get the updates from him separately.

That makes sense.

I panicked for nothing.

Gosh...

Anyway...

We'll head out now.

Isn't the commute annoying?

You can sleep here if you'd like.

Oh, no. Please make yourself comfortable.

Our lodging is close.

I live nearby too...

See you tomorrow.

Good night.

Yeah.

- See you tomorrow.
- Good work.

Good work.

- What was that?
- That wasn't funny.

Don't make jokes like that.

Oh, hi.

We were just on our way to the lodging...

I see.

Want to join us?

- One second.
- Here...

- Hello.
- Hey.

We're getting chicken...

Sure, I'm on my way.

- What?
- I actually have plans too.

You're in?

Yes. Order first.

You have to order it.

Fried one?

Chicken?

What chicken?

You didn't order?

What's with her now?

My legs are k*lling me.

Everyone.

I know you're tired, but let's meet briefly.

This can't go on.

Let's go.

[Munak Mountain]

After all these days,
are these really our best options?

I know period pieces are hard on this budget.

But I don't want to settle
and fix it with tricks in post.

Yeah, right.

We have standards.

Let's keep looking.

We need more legwork.

Director Ryu,
let's check around the sets again.

No residents. No tourists.

No power lines...

No power lines. Good natural light.

- You know what I mean.
- I do, but...

You said exposed places won't work either.

- Then there really isn't anywhere.
- No.

Either it exists, or we haven't found it.

Next slide.

Director Ju.

You're here.

Weren't you coming tomorrow?

The landowner suddenly backed out,
so they came back.

Yeah.

This place is too tight.

Where is everyone?

The lodging. I sent them off.

Why? You want to be alone?

- Should I leave too?
- No.

I wanted us to be alone.

How was the meeting?

Well...

You haven't seen the photos yet, right?

This one's great,
but cars can't get in, so it's out.

This one looked good,
but there wasn't enough space.

This one's the best so far.

What do you think?

Do you even want my opinion?

- What?
- If I don't, I shake my head?

What do you want?

I'll do whatever you say.

What's wrong?

You saw them in person
and you're still not sure.

So what would I know?

I can barely face the staff who worked so hard.

- I cleared it with everyone, so...
- What did you say?

"Yi Jae is my first love?"

"She's special to me,
so please be considerate?"

Or... "Her leg is bad because of me.

So leave her out of the hard stuff?"

Why?

- Did someone say something?
- No.

Nobody said anything.

Isn't that weird?

No one asks who I am
or why I'm co-directing this.

Why do you think?

Yi Jae.

Ju Yi Jae!

Why am I crying?

I didn't even cry when I won the Grand Prize.

Why is this so sad?

[Gyeongseong Love Song]
But do things like this sell these days?

Ma'am.

Yes?

The car is ready.

How do I look today?

Were you yawning?

Darn it.

Look closer.

Forget it. Just give me the contract.

Yes, ma'am.

It's been a while. I'm kind of excited.

- Let's go!
- Okay.

- Let's go.
- Yes.

Looks like she's leaving now.

Okay.

[Oh Ha Na]

[Contract for Pop Culture Artists]

[Gyeongseong Love Song]

"Gyeongseong Love Song?"

"A single ray of moonlight
falls over Wolhajeong.

Nan Young stands in the heart of the darkness."

Nan Young.

After catching her breath,
she sets down the heavy bag in her hand

and takes something out.

In her trembling hand is a stick of dynamite.

Her mind is already made up.

The moment she lights this fuse,

everything will begin.

After hiding expl*sives all over Wolhajeong,

she stands there, gripping the fuse tight.

Below the wall,
her face flickers red in the match light.

Tonight, she will blow up Wolhajeong.

Now I finally understand.

Wolhajeong's high walls
were never fences that protected me.

They were bars that kept me locked away.

Now, with my own hands,
I will tear it all down.

Let's go.

I found my way out.

Make yourself comfortable.

No, it's okay.

So...

Have you decided?

I'm not a patient woman.

I want to make it, CEO An.

Can that happen...

in a month?

I told you, I'm impatient.

[Contract for Pop Culture Artists]

How does it feel today?

It feels real, but also like a dream.

But it's our first crew dinner,
and In Uk still didn't show.

He has a dating show today.

- A dating show?
- A romance reality show.

What is he even doing?

Well, as long as we have the company card.

He said you'd be paying.

- Me?
- He said to keep the receipts.

Is he trying to ruin my credit?

There's Director Ju.

- Hello.
- Oh, hi.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- You're here.
- Hello.

Director Seo is sh**ting on the island, right?

Isn't that close?

Don't even think about going.
It's a mess over there.

One wrong move, and you're stuck there too.

It's basically a prison camp.
The crew's ready to build a raft and escape.

You mean Director Seo Dong Yun?

He's famous for being strict.

I heard his sets
are some of the toughest around.

Director Ju.

I guess you're not tough.

Directors are supposed to be strict.

That's how Director Seo got this far.

Anyone who survives that set
wears it like a badge.

Right. It becomes pride.

Art Director, there you are.

Why are you sitting here?

You went to Seonghwa Arts College, right?

Can I call you senior?

Just call me Se Ra.

Yes, Se Ra.

I'm Ryu Sang Mok,
Seonghwa Theater and Film, class of '02.

I was never that attached to my school.

Then get attached to me.

- Excuse me!
- Huh?

Who are you talking to?

Director Ju.

Where did you go to college?

Why did you become a reporter
instead of using your major?

- I...
- Cheers!

Raise your glass.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Is life seriously this unfair?

Tell me about it.

Some people grind for 13 years
and still never debut.

Hey, Mr. Five Years.

That number was pretty specific.

Are you talking about me?

I mean, with veterans like you still waiting...

- And some total nobody... huh?
- Yeah.

Exactly.

Darn it.

I need to pee.

But this is too much!

She's a former reporter.

Fine. I can let that slide.

But what?

She's never even studied film.

Plenty of directors didn't study film.

Come on!

There are levels to that.

It's not like she went
to Korea University or Harvard.

How does some no-name college grad
just waltz in?

Calm down.

What's taking so long? Huh?

- Calm down.
- I'll kick this door down.

- No, no.
- Darn it.

Calm down.

Hey! Come out already!

- Hold on.
- Come out! Hey!

- Calm down.
- Do you know who I am?

- Calm down, sir.
- What the...

I'm sorry.

Director Ju?

She heard you! Jeez...

It's true, though!

- Yi Jae.
- You need the bathroom?

Someone's in there.

I'm saying it loud so she hears me!

I studied film! She didn't even major in it...

- I want to be a director too!
- Stop it.

It's my first time, so please help me a lot.

I look forward to working with you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Try this.

Director Woo, come have a drink.

Here, sir.

I'll get going first.

Are you going home? Should I drive you?

I'll take a cab.

Okay. Get home safe.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- Then we'll...
- Where are you going?

Round two!

Round two!

- Round two!
- Oh my...

Round two!

[Jinsusungchan]

When...

When did you get here?

- Director Ryu.
- Yes?

This is the first and last time
I'll explain my decision.

Sorry?

What do you mean?

"Gyeongseong Love Song" was written
by Yi Jae in her senior year.

That's why I left the script meeting
entirely to her.

I decided it made more sense for me
to handle location scouting.

Director Ryu.

Director Ju Yi Jae is doing her job perfectly.

Yeah...

Does even hearing that bother you?

Not at all.

Absolutely not.

I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize to me.

From now on,

let's each do our part and respect each other.

Got it.

Enjoy your meal.

Hey.

Ma'am.

Please put the staff meals on my card.

You're paying for all of them?

No.

Nobody said anything.

Isn't that weird?

No one asks who I am
or why I'm co-directing this.

It's true, though!

Calm down...

I'm saying it loud so she hears me!

I studied film! She didn't even...

- Hello?
- Where are you?

We need to talk.

I'm outside your place.

[Jaejae Noodles]

What are you doing?

Watch me.

- Why are you...
- Just watch from there!

See?

I can run like this!

It doesn't hurt at all!

You know how I've lived.

I spent whole days stuck in mudflats.

I climbed countless mountains.

So stop.

Because of you, my scar feels even clearer.

If you're truly sorry,

if you feel that bad for me,

then see this too.

Even after everything, I'm standing here now.

Please understand

what it took to get here.

Please.

I really want to do this well.

I don't want any more regrets.

Help me, Soo Bin.

Help me keep running.

What's your dream?

A film director.

Hurry!

Pretty cool, right?

I'll be a director
who makes films that feel human.

Let's go, Ju Yi Jae!

Let's make a movie together.

Let's do something great.

Romance.

Let's write a romance together.

A really great one.

I always wanted to be like you.

That bright look on your face.

That's why I like you, Yi Jae.

This is what I should've done

when we were 19.

I'll stop here.

So you can shine brighter.

I can't be a stain on your life anymore.

I'm sorry.

No.

I wasn't asking for an apology.

I was asking you to help me.

I'm sorry.

This is all I can do.

What matters is...

we finish the movie together.

But give me some time to sort myself out.

Until the new draft is ready,

I'll work alone at home.

Take care.

Why say it like we're saying goodbye forever?

I guess we are.

To our first love.

Once the new draft comes in,
let's meet as colleagues.

Oh, that kind of goodbye...

Okay.

Bye.

Yi Jae.

Yeah.

See you soon, Director Ju.

Bye.

[Dream to You]

Director Ju.

I really want to be in this film.

Who's coming?

Sim Yu Geon?

- Soo Bin?
- What do you want?

Give him the role, or drop Ju Yi Jae.

I hate when you show up like this.

Amazing! The vibe changed when he walked in.

- Time flies.
- Waiting for you felt longer...

I should go.

Then what were we back then?

I think it's love.
