TAKE CHARGE OF MY HEART

[gentle music playing]

You know Na Bo-bae?

Of course I do. Yeah.

I'm a big fan.

She is a brilliant writer.

Hey, Na Bo-bae.

What are you doing here?

-Oh, hi, Mr. Yeom. [chuckles]
-[Yeom] Hi.

[Bo-bae] Uh…

Oh!

I was told the two of you are working
on a new project, Mr. Yeom?

Is it for the drama that Mr. Baek said
he was going to produce?

What? Since when?

[Bo-bae] Uh…

Bo-bae also told me
Ji Eun-h* got cast in her drama.

[Yeom] What are you talking about?

She told you Ji Eun-h*'s going to be
in the drama we're working on?

Oh, it seems like Na Bo-bae took
her wishful thinking for reality.

She loves to daydream.

Oh my.

Is none of that true?

When we were talking the other day,

Na Bo-bae was going on and on
about how much you loved her script

and said that Ji Eun-h* was confirmed
as the male lead.

[pensive music playing]

Ah! She said
I went on and on about her script?

Well, I sure did. Yup, on and on and on!

No but seriously, Na Bo-bae's scripts
have gotten a lot better lately.

Yeah, they're getting better.

[Bo-bae] Uh…

I'm sorry,
I… might have exaggerated a bit.

I tend to do that sometimes.

No, it's okay. I totally get it, really.

Everybody needs a little ego boost,

otherwise you can't stand a chance
in this industry.

Don't worry about it. It's okay.

[Ju-hee] What?

Wait, so you made it all up?

[scoffs scornfully]

Oh, Mr. Baek, you see,
that's what we writers do.

We basically make things up
for a living. [chuckles]

Don't fall for everything she says.

[laughs]

But if I do,

doesn't that make her
an even better writer?

I've fallen so far

for every little thing.

[Bo-bae gasps]

Get a hold of yourself!

Oh. [clears throat] Yeah, sorry.

Why even listen to her when you know
she's clearly trying to provoke you?

-Yeah, but she's right.
-[quirky music playing]

There was a teeny tiny bit of bluffing.

That wasn't a teeny bit of bluffing.

No, you were completely bluffing!

[elevator chimes]

[music fades]

-[h*-rang] Mm.
-Oh, hello Mr. Baek.

-Hello.
-[automated voice] Doors closing.

I was just in a meeting
for the ad campaign for TS.

I wasn't expecting to see you here today.

Yeah.

I haven't seen you since my birthday.

[Seol-hee] I bet many people
have been asking you questions about us.

Some people even think
we already set a date for the wedding

since the article came out.

[h*-rang] Actually, I was hoping
we could speak in private about that.

-Have we met before?
-Sorry?

Oh! No, we haven't.
I'm… I'm his assistant.

-Na Bo-bae, nice to meet you.
-[chuckles] Oh, so you're Miss Na.

I'm Han Seol-hee,
Executive Director of Hanlim Advertising.

Ah! Oh.

Ah, uh, hi.

[uneasy music playing]

Mr. Baek, maybe your assistant could

perhaps let us speak in private
for a second?

Uh… Yeah, I'll step out
and let you talk, of course.

[h*-rang] I can say
whatever I have to say in front of her.

I'd like you to give me three months.

Why give you three months?

Because that's the amount
of time I'll need

to show you how I plan on running TS.

After that, my grandmother might finally
ease up about the arranged marriage.

I'm sure you don't want
to sacrifice your whole life

for the company's benefit either, do you?

Actually, I'd like to marry you.

-[h*-rang] Excuse me?
-[Seol-hee chuckles]

Maybe we should have
that private talk after all?

Do you mind leaving?
Please, go grab us some coffee, Miss Na.

Decaf for Mr. Baek.

Here is my card so you can pay for it.

[Bo-bae] Oh, uh…

It's clear we're not on the same page,
so no need to talk privately.

Now, if you'll excuse us.

I have somewhere to be,
and I need Miss Bo-bae with me.

I didn't hire an assistant
to go fetch coffee for me.

[sighs] Yes, I see.

I'm sorry, Miss Na.

Oh, no, it's okay. I really don't mind.
I can quickly go get some coffee and--

No, you can't Miss Na Bo-bae.
I said I need you here with me, okay?

You should stop by the café.

The barista there is
a former world champion,

and you seem to be in dire need of coffee.

Yes, thank you. I hope to see you around.

Yes, see you around.

[music fades]

[tense music playing]

Whoa.

[Bo-bae] One look and I could tell,
she's definitely into you.

So why not just marry her?

She's really pretty. She's competent.
She seems nice enough too.

You're bluffing again.

[scoffs] Excuse me?

[h*-rang sighs]

I told you already,
I'm not getting married.

I'm not interested in Miss Han.

Oh, and for the record,
you should be thanking me right now.

I saved you from embarrassing yourself
in front of another writer.

-And from a pointless errand.
-I never asked for your help.

You can't do something I never asked for
and then demand a medal for it.

Just help me with my bucket list, okay?

Don't forget
you have a contract to follow!

I certainly am.
I've been charging you up all day!

Hey, why are you so worked up
all of a sudden?

I hear everyone call you a rich heir,

but all I see is a guy pushed around
by his grandmother, cousin and Miss Han.

So where's your rich-guy swagger
in all of this?

[scoffs, chuckles]

You wanna see rich-guy swagger?

Just wait and see, then.

[astonishing music playing]

[Bo-bae gasps]

You rented out the entire place?

Wow!

How… how did you do this?

You asked me to show you
what I'm capable of.

[Bo-bae chuckles]

[h*-rang] But seriously, how is it
that a 30-year-old like you

has never been
to an amusement park before?

And why is this
on your romance bucket list anyway?

Uh, uh, I've been
to amusement parks before.

Just never on a date with a guy.

[clears throat] Let's go!

Oh, wait a minute!

What is it now?

At an amusement park,
this is the first place you go!

[gentle pop music playing]

Oh!

Come here.

[chuckles] Wearing one of these
is a must, I'm telling you!

How is wearing one of these
supposed to make this romantic, exactly?

These little props are essential
because they help set the mood.

-Hmm.
-Okay, my turn.

[gasps] We could get matching ones.
It's cute.

Oh, forgetting the contract, are you?

[squeak sound effect]

[chuckles] Ready?

[playful sound effect]

Oh, oh, look! They're so cute!

Can we take a picture with them?

Ah, hi! [giggles]

One, two, and smile!

-[camera shutter clicking]
-[Bo-bae laughs]

Yay! Whoo-hoo-hoo! [laughs]

This is hilarious! [chuckles]

-Oh! Whoa-ah!
-[giggling]

Hey, Mr. Baek h*-rang, put your hands up!

-Ah! [screams]
-This is great!

[h*-rang gasping]

At this rate,
I might die of a heart attack

before we get
to the end of your bucket list.

Oh my goodness, I'm sorry.

-[gasps]
-Are you okay?

Oh no, you're sweating…

[soundscape fades]

[heartbeat pounding]

[watch chimes, whirs]

[watch beeping]

[gasps] Are you sure you're okay?
Maybe we should go to the hospital?

No!

Hey, didn't you say
you wanted to go into the Haunted House?

Let's go. Let's do it, come on.

I… I don't think we should.
Your heart rate is way too high.

[dramatic, daunting music playing]

-[quirky music playing]
-Are you ready?

Hey, we don't have to do this one.

Maybe we should call it a night,
for your heart's sake?

Let's not do anything
that might startle you.

I don't mind skipping
the Haunted House! Let's leave.

No, let's do it.

Your bucket list says so.

[gentle Spanish guitar music playing]

What?

I'm not afraid of this place!
[breathes decisively]

Wait, Baek h*-rang!

Aw, hopefully no one touches me in there,
or they're in deep sh*t. [whimpers]

-[eerie music playing]
-[creepy howling]

[shriek screaming]

Okay, let's do this together.

[both screaming]

-Seriously, calm down!
-Oh, sorry.

-Oh jeez, I, I thought, uh…
-[laughs]

[h*-rang] Don't leave me, okay?

-[Bo-bae] Are you scared?
-No, not at all!

[both screaming]

-[Bo-bae laughs]
-Ah!

[h*-rang] Oh sh*t.
I hurt my back! Wait a sec. [grunting]

-Oh man!
-Oh! Gosh, she really scared me.

Let's just get out of this place, okay?

-I'll find the exit.
-Sure, okay.

You know, I… I'm totally fine.

But if that's what you want,
I'll do as you please.

Okay, come on!

Let's go together!

[ghostly whispering]

-[screams]
-Oh, what is it? What is it?

-What? What is it? Seriously? [sighs]
-Oh, no nothing. It's nothing.

[Bo-bae whimpers]

[eerie screeching]

-[ghostly scream]
-[both screaming]

-[pop music playing]
-Miss Na! Na, Na, Na Bo-bae, hurry, run!

[Bo-bae] Huh?

Hey! Hey, Baek h*-rang! Wait, stop!

Baek h*-rang, wait for me!
Where are you going?

-[screams]
-[electricity crackles]

-Oh sh*t, I'm sorry!
-[h*-rang screaming]

h*-rang, wait for me!
sh*t! Sorry, I'm so sorry!

-[performer screams]
-Sorry! [screams]

Why did I get myself into this?
Sorry, I'm sorry!

-So, so sorry everyone! [wails]
-[music fades]

What did you do
to those poor people in there? Goodness!

How'd they end up like that?

[scoffs] Is that really
all you have to say

after you ran off
and left me in there alone?

I didn't run off, I thought I was grabbing
your hand and running with you--

-[screams]
-[Bo-bae gasps]

[quirky music playing]

Ugh, either way, how am I supposed to
use this in my script?

When the male lead abandons
the female lead,

it's just asking for a fight. [huffs]

-Why is that asking for a fight?
-[music fades]

[h*-rang sighs]

Are you mad at me?

Like I said,
I really didn't mean to leave you behind.

I'm sorry. That was a mistake.

No, I'm in a good mood.

I'm happy, actually.

[chuckles]

[gentle music playing]

Going to an amusement park has been
on my personal bucket list

way longer than on my romance list,
to tell you the truth.

I think the last time
I went to an amusement park,

it was over 20 years ago.

So today, getting to go on all those rides
and hanging out with you

without anyone else around, it was nice.

[sighs happily]
Yeah, amusement parks are great.

I'd forgotten what they were like.

I had so much fun!

Why did you wait so long?
You could've gone by yourself.

Uh, um…

I, um…

was a little scared of going there alone.

OLD KINDNESS
BY CHOI JI-HYE

[Bo-bae] Hello.

[Eun-h*] Hello.

You said the book you're looking for
is called Old Kindness?

-Who knows, we might find it here.
-Yeah, it would be great if we did.

It's usually out of print though.

[gasps] Eun-h*!

What are you doing here?

What's with the headbands?

Ah.

Were you at an amusement park
with Mr. Baek?

Yes, that's where we went.

Yes but it was only for research purposes,
nothing else.

I'm so sorry, I didn't check my phone
because I was on the rides.

Hm? You want to give me something?

[Eun-h*] Mm…

Hm? Oh, yeah!

I know you've been stressing out
over your script lately.

And I remembered you saying
you wanted to read this book

but you weren't able to find it.

-I got it for you.
-[gasps] You did?

[gasps] Eun-h*, my goodness.

There was no need
to go through such trouble.

I wanted to find it for you
before anyone else could.

Oh, Eun-h*… [chuckles]

I'm the best, huh?

Ah, silly. Thanks though. [chuckles]

[intriguing music playing]

-[Bo-bae] Uh, oh…
-[h*-rang clears throat]

We've been running into each other
a lot lately.

Yes, indeed.

My team's called you a dozen times,
but you never answer the phone.

Because it's
a totally different situation.

I already declined your offer
to be the face of your resort.

Bo-bae and I are close.
That's why I call her.

We're also very close, Na Bo-bae and I.

[Bo-bae] My goodness. [chuckles]

Eun-h*, thank you so much.
I'm excited to read this.

Once you finish it, call me to tell me
what you thought of it, all right?

-[Bo-bae] I will. Good night. [chuckles]
-Good night.

Wait, Bo-bae. Where are you going?

[music ends with a flourish]

[Bo-bae gasps] Uh…

[laughs]

Silly me!
It's dark out, and I'm a little lost.

That's where I live. [chuckles]

Mr. Baek, thank you so much
for driving me home.

I got confused because you parked
your car on the wrong side.

All right, good night,
Mr. Baek h*-rang. [chuckles]

-Huh?
-Uh…

Thanks once again for helping me
with the research for my script.

-And, Eun-h*, thank you too.
-[Eun-h*] Mm.

You both can go home now,
all right? [chuckles]

-Okay, yeah, I'll go home.
-Oh, aren't you silly! [laughs]

Mr. Baek,

like I said, we met strictly for research
for my script, nothing more.

It's getting late.
You should head home. Have a nice night.

-All right, but--
-Mr. Baek.

You shouldn't invite yourself
into a woman's home if she lives alone,

especially this late.

He's right. You go back to your own place.

[whoosh]

[squeaking]

[h*-rang sighs]

-[chuckles]
-Okay.

I'm going.

-Good night.
-Good night, Mr. Baek h*-rang.

-[Eun-h*] Get in your car and go home.
-[Bo-bae] Yeah.

Okay, bye!

-[car door closes]
-[Bo-bae] Mm.

[music stops]

Oh, uh, Eun-h*, you shouldn't stay either.

[Eun-h* sighs]

That's too bad.
I wanted to keep talking with you.

[Bo-bae chuckles]

I've missed you a lot lately.

[gentle music playing]

Still, I should get going, right?

-I hope we talk more next time.
-Mm-hmm.

Eun-h*, why do you always disappear
the moment I take my eyes off you?

Oh, Miss Bo-bae, good evening.

You punk!
You know how many weirdos are out there?

If this gets photographed,
you're done, totally finished!

Yeah! So it's best you leave, okay?

Get in the car!

All right, I'll get going. I'll call you.

Why would you call her?
Come on, get in the car.

-Excuse us.
-See you soon!

[Hee-chan] Hurry up!

-Bye!
-[Bo-bae] Bye!

[car door closes]

-Bye!
-[Eun-h*] Bye!

[sighing]

There you are.

Thanks to you, I had to drive around
the neighborhood this whole time.

If Eun-h* finds out we live together,
things could get awkward.

-He might get the wrong idea.
-So what?

Why are you worried about what he thinks?

Technically, we're not living together.
We're ten meters apart.

Yeah, all right, but still, technically,
we live under the same roof, don't we?

Though, I'm sure Eun-h* would understand
the situation if I explained it to him.

-He's such a sweet kid--
-Ha!

Sweet, my a*s.

What's gotten into you?

He is sweet. I've been friends with him
ever since Wistful Youth.

I don't believe in friendship
between men and women.

About that Wistful whatever show,
are you ever going to let that go?

It's been three years already.

Every time you two meet up,
it's all you talk about.

What'd you say?

Uh, no, I didn't mean it that way.

I know it was your debut show
and it means a lot to you, but--

It does. I've been struggling to survive
in this industry for three years.

So yes, that show means a lot.
I get it, Baek h*-rang.

You just see it as another silly
one-hour drama nobody even remembers.

But to me, it's more than just that.

[pensive music playing]

I remember the name now!

[sighs]

It's Wistful Youth!

[door slams]

[sighs]

Why is it such a big deal?

[sighs]

[Hee-chan] I told you already.
You're a top star.

You need to watch every move you make.
These days, everyone's a reporter.

They all have a phone.
They can snap a photo of you.

Ugh, I keep on repeating myself so much
my jaw hurts.

Hee-chan.

Should I just do the ad?

What? Are you serious?

Eyes on the road,
or we'll have an accident.

And what exactly led you
to such a great idea?

Bo-bae and Mr. Baek,

they keep running into each other,
for work reasons mostly.

Huh? Miss Na?

She's seeing Mr. Baek h*-rang? Really?

Work could bring us together too
if I do the ad.

We'll get to see each other more often,
don't you think?

Well, if it means you'll see
the client more often, great.

Damn, you finally grew out
of your tortured artist phase.

What?

In the sense
that your beliefs have changed.

That's great. Growth is good.

[intriguing music playing]

-What made you call me first?
-Mm.

I just wanted to see your handsome face.

Did anything bad happen to my Seol-hee?

Does she want this handsome face
to make her laugh?

Do I seem mad?
Something good happened, actually.

Something like what?

I ran into Mr. Baek earlier today,
and we had a little chat.

-Baek h*-rang?
-Mm-hmm.

I always knew he was a kind guy,

but turns out, he's even kinder
to the people who work for him,

starting with his assistant.

[snickers] Are you serious?

She's what your little tantrum
is all about?

Ah.

But you're right to think that.

Na Bo-bae. That was her the other day.

The woman I saw at Baek h*-rang's place.

I see, all right.

h*-rang couldn't care less about you.
He's living with another woman.

Why the hell are you so hung up
on that guy?

Baek h*-rang is the only guy who deserves

a place in my life.

[thunder rumbling]

[horn honking]

[girl gasps, panting]

[gasps] Hey, kid! You can't just run out
in front of a car like that!

-I could have k*lled you!
-[girl] Why did you stop?

Just run me over!

[driver] Mr. Baek, sir, I'm so sorry.
She won't move.

Kid, move it!

Get lost.

Think.

Think of all the ways
you can protect yourself.

The best thing you can do is stay alive.

Staying alive is better than dying.

-[crying]
-Han Seol-hee, I'm talking to you!

Where are you going?
Han Seol-hee, come back here!

-Ah!
-[thudding]

[thunder clapping]

-[heavy thud]
-[Seol-hee panting]

[uneasy music playing]

The best thing

I can do is protect myself.

[adult Seol-hee] Mr. Baek

is the man who changed my life.

Does he even know
anything about your life?

I know more than he ever will.

I know that you're all twisted up, and so,

I think…

[dark music playing]

…maybe you

and I

belong together.

[Seol-hee scoffs]

Sweetie,

when two people are twisted up,
they don't belong together.

[chuckles]

This article will be on the front page
of major newspapers next week.

TS HOTEL CAUGHT EMBEZZLING MONEY

{\an8}TS HOTEL EXECUTIVES UNDER INVESTIGATION
FOR EMBEZZLING MONEY

I know which photo
they should use for Choi Do-yoon.

The one where he's drunk and cursing.
He looks pretty good in it.

All right.
I will let them know right away.

We have to end this nonsense.

We can't let that family
get in my way anymore.

-Right.
-And the new face of our resort?

Have you found anyone yet?

-No, I'm afraid not, sir.
-[sighs]

[knocking on door]

-Yes?
-[door opens]

Mr. Baek, we just got a call
from Mr. Ji Eun-h*'s agency.

He said he'll do it.
He'll do the commercial.

-He will?
-[woman] Yes.

He's on his way over right now.

-Ji Eun-h* will be here today?
-Yes!

I can't believe it!
Should I ask to take a picture with him?

[woman] No! No pictures, Mr. Lee.

You need to get a hold of yourself.

-[woman and Lee] Yay!
-[woman 2] My goodness!

-This is such great news!
-Yes, it is!

Well done! Group hug.
Come here! High five!!

-There! High five!
-Yay!

Miss Na, you too! High five!

[Bo-bae] Oh, uh…

-Wait a second.
-[woman] Such great news.

I'm so sorry, I need to take this call.

Okay, okay!

-Yeah!
-[all cheering]

[Eun-h*] Bo-bae, how would you like
to try writing another script?

A short one.

[Hee-chan sniffs] Actually,
there's a director and a writer

that Ji Eun-h* really wants to work with.

Could we include them
as a condition in the contract?

[soft piano playing]

Do you mind specifying the director
and writer you want to work with?

Why should I?

Um, well, because we also need
to get them to sign contracts,

so we can't bring just anyone
into the deal either.

The director is Mr. Yeom Min-kyu.

He's mostly known for directing dramas.

Oh, Mr. Yeom Min-kyu.

Yes, Mr. Yeom is very well-known.

And who is the writer?

Concerning the writer,

I'm sure Mr. Baek knows her
as well as I do.

[dramatic music playing]

[h*-rang] Mr. Ji Eun-h*,

is this why you agreed
to sign the contract?

[Eun-h*] Yes.

But does it really matter
as long as we're on board and sign it?

[jaunty music playing]

Mr. Baek,

is there some rule that says
I'm not allowed to sign a contract

if it's for personal reasons?

[h*-rang breathes deeply]

Not at all. Sounds perfect.

I'll get you, the writer, and the director
to sign the contract.

All three of you.

Deal?

Seems like we have a deal.

I look forward to working with you.

I look forward to working with you too,
Mr. Ji.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckling insincerely]

[music fades]

[sighs]

You wanted to talk?

Na Bo-bae…

by any chance,

did you ask Mr. Ji to let you write
the script for the ad campaign?

Wh… what?

He said he would be our brand ambassador

on the condition that you
and Mr. Yeom work on it together.

Let's be honest,
Yeom Min-kyu is just an excuse.

He's making it pretty obvious that
his main interest is working with you.

So you're telling me I'm using Eun-h*?

Well… [sighs]

When we spoke about Wistful Youth,

and I was being harsh,

it became apparent
that you two were close,

and to be honest,

you're also running out of time
on your contract.

It seemed it would be a good opportunity

for you to show Mr. Yeom…
what you bring to the table.

SENIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR'S OFFICE

[Bo-bae] Listen, Baek h*-rang.

Sure, Eun-h* might have agreed
to be your ambassador because of me,

but, you know,
not everyone helps each other out

just to get ahead in this world.

Some people help others
out of sheer goodwill.

But you wouldn't know that
because you're so selfish.

[h*-rang] Uh, uh…

And one more thing,

I'd appreciate it
if you didn't summon me like this again.

I mean, you're supposed to be engaged.

Someone could get the wrong idea,
you know?

I told you, I'm not getting married.

-As for the charging--
-As for the charging…

As long as we're within ten meters
of each other, it'll work.

[door opens]

[door slams]

Dramatic much?

[door opens]

[intriguing music playing]

[Bo-bae sighs]

{\an8}[woman 2] Guys, do you think Bo-bae
and Mr. Baek are dating?

{\an8}[Lee] I mean, they were in the middle
of an argument,

{\an8}and she was telling him off!

{\an8}-[woman 2 gasps] No way!
-[woman] Wow, that's insane, seriously.

{\an8}[Lee] Why would an assistant
be yelling at her boss

{\an8}unless it was about
something non-work-related?

{\an8}-[woman 2] OMG, that is such a good point.
-[woman] 100%.

{\an8}[Lee] I'm telling you, they totally are.

I was about to knock on the door.

I heard them argue,
so I stopped and listened.

[woman 2] This is crazy. What do we do?

[woman coughs]

[Lee] Yes, this is the head office.

The list of top-earning brand contracts
I requested will need to be sent out ASAP.

-[door opens]
-As in today…

-[curious music playing]
-[door closes]

{\an8}[woman] Now I think about it,

{\an8}I'm pretty sure I saw something suspicious
the other day too.

[music fades]

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO, SEOL-HEE?

[Do-yoon gasps]

Jesus, Dad!

You almost split my head open.
What's wrong with you?

What's wrong is Baek h*-rang is going
to expose the embezzling at the hotel.

-What?
-I'm guessing you didn't know?

Maybe you should stop making it so obvious
that you're the idiot of the family!

[tense music playing]

[sighs]

If one of our reporters hadn't warned me,

then this article
would've been published next week!

[Do-yoon sighs]

If the public finds out about this,

you, your mother, and I

are all finished!

[sighs]

Wait, what's the guy's name?

The hotel's VP.

Uh, Yoon Dong-seok.

Yes. Fire him and make sure
this doesn't come back to us.

[Do-yoon sighs]

Wait.

Pin it on Baek h*-rang
and get rid of them both.

Create a fake ledger and spin it
as Baek h*-rang told Yoon Dong-seok

to set his own aunt and cousin up.

Make it believable.

SENIOR MANAGING DIRECTOR
BAEK h*-RANG

[tense music continues]

[cell phone buzzes]

Hello, Mr. Baek, this is Yoon Dong-seok,

Vice President of TS Hotel.

[music fades]

Thank you so much
for making time for me, Mr. Baek.

First, let's make a toast,

I am not here to celebrate.

Ah. [chuckles]

So, Mr. Yoon, why did you drag me here.

Well…

[uneasy music playing]

[Yoon exhales pointedly]

[h*-rang sighs]

-[lens zooming]
-[camera shutter clicking]

[camera shutter clicking]

[music fades]

[h*-rang] Hm.

Na Bo-bae! Um…

I mean, Miss Na, over here.

[gentle, playful music playing]

Thank you.

[h*-rang] Uh… [clears throat]

You all remember the terms
of the contract from Mr. Ji?

Yes. He wanted to choose
the writer and director.

Well, our very own Miss Na
will be writing the script.

Uh, ah… Hello, I'm Na Bo-bae.

I used to be a scriptwriter.

Uh… [chuckles]

But, well, uh, I'm currently employed
here as Mr. Baek's assistant.

What made you quit your writing career
to come work here?

-That…
-[uneasy music playing]

Uh…

-Uh…
-[music fades]

I was drowning in debt.

[h*-rang spluttering]

The pay as a writer isn't the best

because you only get paid
when your drama airs.

-[gasps]
-[lively music playing]

[flatly] Oh… how sad.

[Bo-bae sighs]

I was at my lowest, barely surviving,
having lost all hope…

[chuckles]

…when I was offered a job
as his assistant.

So now I'm using my writing skills
for Mr. Baek.

[h*-rang] Miss Na has already worked
with Mr. Ji in the past,

as a writer on one of his dramas,

so she'll be a wonderful addition
to the team.

She will continue to work
as my assistant, but remember,

Na Bo-bae is the writer
for this ad campaign.

-I look forward to working with you all.
-Likewise, Miss Na.

[Seol-hee] That explains a lot.

I noticed on the contract
both of your names were the same.

But it was you all along.

Happy to work with you, Miss Na.

Oh, thank you so much,
Miss Han. [chuckles]

Okay, now time to review the concepts.

Everyone ready?

So the main focus of this concept
would be the joy of eating.

It centers around gourmandise,
if you will.

It's not just about eating at the resort.

-Eating becomes the sole purpose--
-Let's move on.

Food is important,
but our key concept should be relaxation.

The definition of relaxation
is to be free of stress--

Next! [sighs]

For our next concept, we would focus
on our brand ambassador, Ji Eun-h*.

The resort being the place
where Ji Eun-h* goes to relax

would become the brand's identity
in itself.

And… That's all.

[h*-rang sighs]

So, three concepts.

That's all we have?

Yes Mr. Baek, it was a bit short notice.

Hm. I see.

Well, thank you, everyone,
for your hard work.

I guess

I should probably give you
more time to work on this.

Oh, yes. Please just give us
a few more days, a week even--

One day.

Uh, what?

[woman gasps]

-[inhales, enunciates slowly] Tomorrow.
-[Seol-hee chuckles]

Plan A was to have Miss Na
write a short script

based on the concepts
you came up with here

in today's meeting.

Since none of you even hinted
at a good idea,

we'll go with Plan B.

Which will be to come up with something
by pulling an all-nighter.

[woman] An all-nighter?
No! I'll get kicked out of my book club!

Oh, yes. Yes, of course!

My team loves all-nighters.
[chuckles uneasily]

That's great to hear.
This is gonna be so much fun!

Do you mean you're going to be joining
your team on this all-nighter?

I had a feeling this would happen,
so I planned ahead.

Oh… Of course, this was planned.

You're so organized. [chuckles]

Would you mind if I joined you?

I guess we'll be needing a lot
of coffee and energy drinks tonight.

-Shouldn't I join too?
-[h*-rang] Miss Na, don't worry.

Your services won't be needed tonight.

This is something that Hanlim Advertising
should be taking care of.

Your job is to write the script.

[Bo-bae] Uh, uh…

-[pen clicking]
-[pages turning]

[intriguing music playing]

-[uneasy music playing]
-[Bo-bae clears throat]

[indistinct chattering]

[man] What about… what about…

[indistinct chattering]

[music fades]

Miss Na.

Yes?

I've been meaning to talk to you.

I know that you must be close
to Mr. Baek in order to charge him,

but in the future,
please try to be more cautious around him,

especially when Miss Han comes
to the office.

Cautious? But…

But about what?

You were staring at Mr. Baek
quite a lot earlier.

Oh. [chuckles]

Oh, well, because, you know,
he was presenting to us.

You were also staring intensely
as you were walking out of the room.

Oh, well…

[fading slide whistle]

[sword unsheathes]

It was more of a glare.

In any case, you need to remember

she is publicly known
as Mr. Baek's fiancée.

You are his assistant.

I would suggest

you stop making it so obvious to everyone
that you're anything beyond that.

That's not what I'm doing.

It… it's just the whole charging thing
made us close.

Regardless, you should be
more careful around him.

Between his office employees
and household staff,

he's being watched by more people
than you could even imagine.

And not everyone has
his best interest at heart.

Good day.

[sighs] Old stick in the mud
picking on me…

[mimics zapping] Watch out.
I'll zap you next time.

[mimics zapping]

[deflating sound effect]

[sighs]

Oh my God, Na Bo-bae,
you should've told me

you were a drama writer? That's so cool!

Tss… You know, from this angle,
you really do look like a writer.

Your intelligence is beaming off you.

Wait, didn't you work on a drama
with Ji Eun-h*?

Well, it was just a mini drama.
Now I'm Mr. Baek's assistant, that's all.

-Still, so impressive.
-What do you think you're doing?

If you prefer not to pull an all-nighter
with Mr. Baek and your colleagues,

I would expect
that you focus on your work.

-[all] Yes, sir.
-We'll talk later.

-You're awesome.
-[Bo-bae chuckles]

[sighs] How am I supposed to charge him?

He can be away from me for up to 25 hours,
so I guess it's fine.

[woman] Yes, definitely.
I think we should circle back…

Should we look into
some similar alternatives?

-[woman 1] There was something there.
-[woman 2] We could try to incorporate…

[pensive music playing]

[Bo-bae sighs] He'll reach out
if he needs me.

Remember what Mr. Yoon said.
He's just my boss here.

[music fades]

[ominous music playing]

Ts… Mm… Hm, hm, hm, hm.

CHOI DO-YOON

[man] We should explore a different theme.

[woman] That's not a bad idea, actually.

Getting Ji Eun-h* to act a bit
could be something fun.

Let's see…

CHOI DO-YOON SENT A PHOTO

…a plot would be more captivating
for the audience.

-[woman 2] Totally.
-[man] Captivating, yes.

-[h*-rang sighs]
-[woman] So what kind of plot?

[ominous music continues]

-[man] Something new.
-[woman 2] Mm-hmm.

-[outgoing all tone]
-[Do-yoon] Hello?

What did you just send me?

Seems like your assistant
could use a ride home.

[sighs] Choi Do-yoon,
don't do anything stupid.

So funny you should say that.

I was just about to do
something really stupid.

Hey, Choi Do-yoon.

[Do-yoon chuckles]

I've been so curious
as to what makes this one so special.

Thought I'd see what the fuss is about.

Oh, also,
I heard you're pulling an all-nighter.

Good luck.

[music intensifies]

[breathing heavily]

[outgoing call tone]

[ominous music continues]

[breathing heavily]

[cell phone buzzes]

[music fades]

PORTABLE BATTERY.

Na Bo-bae. [panting]

Where are you?

Are you okay?

[Bo-bae] What?

I… I'm at the office.

[brakes screeching]

[panting]

[panting]

You look so pale. What's going on?

You weren't answering. [panting]

And I've been calling you, uh…

Uh, oh, sorry, I was on the phone
with my friend Seo-jeong.

But seriously, you're as white as a sheet.

Are you sick? What happened?

No… [panting]

It's fine. Let's go somewhere.

[Bo-bae] Uh… Oh, wait.

[h*-rang panting]

Why were you calling me?

Is there something wrong with your heart?
Just tell me!

No. It's not about charging.

It's…

It's about Choi Do-yoon.

What happened? Did…

Uh…

[sighs] I mean, did he hurt you at all?

Oh, wait, your cousin?

Well, I… I saw him at the bus stop.

Hey there, Bo-bae. Long time no see.

[uneasy music playing]

Oh it's you, Baek h*-rang's cousin.

I'm heading out. You want a ride?

No, thanks.

Huh. You know,
I've always loved the feisty ones.

[uneasy music intensifies]

[Bo-bae clears throat]

Why don't we grab a drink?

You and I can get to know each other
a little more.

-[cell phone buzzes]
-Oh.

[chuckles softly] What's up?

Hey, Seo-jeong.

Oh, you're on your way over now?

Oh! Oh, well then,
then call me when you're done. Yeah?

Okay.

[Do-yoon] Hm.

Oh. As you can see,
I'm going out with a friend,

so I can't hang out with you.

And honestly,

there would be nothing less appealing
than getting to know you.

Huh. Too bad.

Ha! Hm, not bad for me.

[chuckles] Go on. Go.

Shoo. [chuckles]

[Do-yoon scoffs]

[electricity crackling]

-Ow!
-[car whirs]

sh*t that hurt! What?

Bye!

Huh. [chuckles]

Ah, sh…

[sighs]

She wants me. [chuckles]

-Okay. [sniffs]
-[car engine chugs]

Come on.

-[engine chugs]
-Stupid car!

Ah, sh*t.

Wait, so that's all?

Yeah, then I came back to the office,
and here you were.

[h*-rang sighs]

-Well, who were you gonna meet?
-Who cares?

Do you think I was going to meet up
with Eun-h* and plot your demise?

Who I hang out with
is none of your concern,

so if you don't need me to charge you,
I'll get going.

[h*-rang grunting]

[squeak, clack]

What?

[h*-rang sighs] Mm.

[Bo-bae sighs]

Cut it out. You'll rip my sweater!

Sheesh…

Bo-bae, um…

Would you… cancel your plans for me?

Huh?

It's because I'm worried!

About my heart!

I'm not feeling so well right now.
Look at my battery. It's really low!

Ugh! Why didn't you just tell me
you were sick?

You need a super-fast charge, don't you?

I don't need you to supercharge me. Uh…

Can you, uh, stay with me

while I'm in the meeting?

Oh, well, you said
you didn't need me earlier.

[sighs] Please, be honest with me.

Is something wrong?

[h*-rang clears throat]

Yeah, I mean there could be
something wrong with my heart, but not…

[sighs] Okay, let me charge you up.

[Yoon] Yes, I've stepped out.
There's no one here. You can talk now.

-[Bo-bae gasps]
-[Yoon] Yes.

Hang on a minute.

[exciting music playing]

[Bo-bae gasps] Wait!

Sh, it's Mr. Yoon!

So?

Well, yeah I think it's him.

-Sounds like he's on the phone.
-[gasps]

-Ah.
-[Bo-bae gasps]

-[gasps]
-[Bo-bae shushing]

If he finds out I'm with you,
he's going to chew me out again.

[gasps]

-Come on!
-Ah!

[exciting music continues]

[music fades]

Okay, no one's here. Hurry.
I'll give you a quick charge, come on.

Whoa. Bo-bae, wait just a minute, okay?

You don't need to be
my power supply right now.

I asked you to say because…

Choi Do-yoon called me,

and I had the feeling
that he might try to hurt you.

And it had me so worried.

-To hurt me? Why?
-[sighs]

He didn't touch me.
I mean, honestly, we barely even spoke.

Well, you can never be too sure.

Choi Do-yoon has always been
determined to take me down.

But Choi Do-yoon wouldn't be able
to hurt me.

What? How can you be sure?

[Bo-bae gasps]

Uh…

Well, because if he touches me,
he'll end up like rotisserie chicken.

Do you remember when I said
my siblings were athletes?

Well, they're actually into martial arts.

They taught me all of their moves,
so I'll be okay, I promise.

Sheesh. You worry way too much.

Come on, let's charge you up before I go.

Uh, okay.

[watch chimes, whirs]

[watch beeping]

[man] Girlfriend?
Isn't he dating Han Seol-hee?

They're in the meeting together now.

[woman] No, I heard from the secretaries

that Mr. Baek and Miss Na, the writer,

well, the writer turned assistant,
are dating.

[woman 2] What?

And I heard it's pretty recent too.

Well, it must've been
after the wedding announcement.

-[woman 2 gasps]
-[man] Oh, that qualifies as an affair!

-[woman] Yeah, they're having an affair.
-[woman 2] Wow how is that possible?

-[man] I didn't think he was like that.
-[Min-kyu humming]

[uneasy music playing]

[humming] Oh, Miss Han.

-Hello!
-[Seol-hee] Mr. Yeom, so glad you made it.

I know it's late, but we're on a deadline.

Staying up all night is standard practice
in my industry. Where is Mr. Baek?

He called his old college mentor here,
he should be running out to meet me.

-One second, I'll give him a call.
-Sure.

-After you.
-Thanks.

[sniffs]

[music fades]

-[cell phone buzzes]
-Oh, what was that?

[h*-rang] Oh.

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAN SEOL-HEE

[Min-kyu] Wait, did you hear
a phone buzzing in there?

-[Bo-bae gasps]
-[gasps]

If they find us in here,
it'll be too suspicious.

-What do we do?
-What?

-Is he in there?
-[knocks]

-Baek h*-rang?
-Ah sh*t!

-[h*-rang sighs]
-[Bo-bae panting]

[uneasy music playing]

[panting] Oh!

-Come on, down here!
-What are you doing?

[whispers] Come on, get down!

[h*-rang sighs]

[grunts]

-[uneasy music continues]
-[Bo-bae gasps]

Down here, quick.

-[h*-rang] Oh God! [grunts]
-[Min-kyu] Baek h*-rang?

Buddy?

[music fades]

Maybe I can break in.

This door only locks from the inside,
so that means…

-He's in there right now.
-[jaunty music playing]

Buddy, you sleepin'?

[knocking on door]

You called me,
and now you're taking a nap in there?

Come on, wake up! [knocking on door]

Baek h*-rang?

If you don't wake up,
I'll break down the door.

That's plan B,
so I'd wake up if I were you. [knocking]

-Huh?
-[h*-rang sighs]

[watch dings, chiming]

Oh, oh, ohhh!

No, I know.

I think I just heard a buzzing sound.

-[watch chimes]
-You heard it too.

-Yeah.
-You did.

[knocking on door]

[sighs] Please, Baek h*-rang!

-Mr. Yeom. Miss Han.
-Oh, wait, you're Mr. Baek's secretary.

I think he's in there right now.
Would you mind breaking the door open?

-[creaking]
-What?

[chuckles] No, just kidding.
I was gonna do it.

Mr. Yoon, do you have
a master key with you?

The master key, um, should be in my desk.
Why do you ask?

[Seol-hee sighs]

Understood, Miss Han.

-[music intensifies]
-[watch chimes]

-[h*-rang panting]
-[watch chiming]

Ah!

[whispers] Quiet.

[keys jangling]

[Min-kyu] Oh.

[music building]

-[music fades]
-[lock turn echoing]

[intense drum beat]

Wow. Just despicable.

I just need one more week,
Mr. Baek, please.

That's not…

Well, who is that?

-Poor guy must be really tired. [chuckles]
-[Yoon] Oh, this is just a team manager.

Tell him to come to the meeting room
when he wakes up.

Sweet dreams.

-[h*-rang sighs with relief]
-[sighs]

[gentle music playing]

[Min-kyu] Seriously, where is this guy?

No one makes Yeom Min-kyu wait.

He's gone, he's gone, he's gone. [gasps]

[exhales sharply]

My heart was racing so fast
I thought I was gonna die.

[h*-rang inhales deeply, exhales sharply]

Hey, Bo-bae?

Yeah?

Me too.

[hesitates] What do you mean?

Uh, well,

Bo-bae, when I'm with you,

I worry about you constantly.

And my heart races so fast.

[sighs]

It feels like I'm gonna die.

[gentle music intensifies]

[music continues]

[music fades out]
