Original subtitles

- A job? - Yes.

I don't mind even if it's a very tough job...

as long as I can make money.

I can't believe you actually said that. You must be in a very harsh situation.

(Episode 5)

Ba Da can't work for a while, so I should make a living.

So how much do you think the hospital fee will be?

They say it will be at least over 20,000 dollars.

Over 20,000 dollars? Do you even have that much money?

I'm sure Ba Da does, though.

He doesn't?

He's so ridiculous.

He's been so stingy, and he doesn't even have 20,000 dollars?

It's because something happened.

What are you going to do?

He has to leave the hospital in a couple of days.

We're just so hopeless.

Do you have some money you can lend me?

I'm sorry. My landlord raised the deposit, so I'm almost broke.

Anybody I can borrow money from, then? You know many rich ladies.

Fine. Let me look into it.

Sorry, Mi Ryeon. I owe you all the time.

Gosh. It's not the time to say sorry.

By the way, where should I get such a big sum of money?

Do you know how upset I've been since I heard that?

- Hey. - Bye.

See you.

It's driving me crazy. Seriously.

- Take care. - Bye.

So Ra, is Ba Da no longer working as a manager?

What are you talking about?

I heard that Ye Rin joined Power, following Do Hoon.

Who said that?

Ha Kyung did.

She said Do Hoon would now neglect her and focus only on Ye Rin,

and she sounded really mad.

Does that mean that wench betrayed Ba Da and went to Do Hoon?

That witch is really ridiculous.

How could she do that, knowing Do Hoon broke up with you?

She looks all kind and docile,

but I knew she'd stab you in the back.

Is it true that you're working with Do Hoon?

Stop crying and answer me! Is that true?

What about Ba Da?

You know how committed he's been to you!

I'm sorry.

Please don't forgive me.

I need you to explain...

how things ended up like this.

I also resented Do Hoon.

Thinking of what he did to Ba Da and you,

I hated him so much.

I didn't even want to see him again.

- And? - But he insisted he wanted to recruit me.

Or I better not dare dream of becoming an actress.

He said he'd stop my debut by all means.

Did he...

Did he really say that?

I also know that I should've said no,

no matter what he said.

And I should've stayed with Ba Da.

But I couldn't do that.

I need to become an actress.

I should do everything to become an actress.

All my family is waiting for my debut as an actress.

Like you said, I can't forgive you.

No matter how bad your situation is, I can't forgive you.

Why does it have to be now?

It's already too hard for Ba Da.

If you do this to him,

you know he'll be heartbroken very well. And does it have to be now?

Sorry, So Ra.

Let me talk to Do Hoon.

And I'll talk him into giving up on you.

I just need to make him give up on you, right?

Then, you'll come back to Ba Da, right?

He won't give up.

You know what kind of person Do Hoon is.

Let's go meet him with me now.

Excuse me. Where are you going?

You may not go in.

What brings you here?

Let Ye Rin...

go.

You know what Ye Rin means to Ba Da better than anyone.

I'm asking you for the last time.

Let her go.

I told her everything.

- About what? - That you said you needed me,

and you'd ruin my career if I turned your offer down.

Is that really true?

Why are you doing this?

Why do you have to do this? For what?

You could dump me. It's understandable.

Like you said, even married couples get divorced after decades,

so I understand.

But...

I really don't get why you're doing this to Ba Da.

What's on your mind?

You want me to get over you, right?

You want me to stop bothering you, right? Then, you should stop doing this too!

Do not make me hate you!

I also want to get over you.

I want to forget about you without leaving any resentment or regrets!

So please stop hurting Ba Da!

Tell me that you'll let go of Ye Rin.

Tell me that you won't take her away from Ba Da!

Stop, So Ra. It'll only make you upset.

I have nothing to say, so leave.

You'll pay for what you did. You will, for sure.

Don't you know how kind-hearted Ba Da is?

You stabbed such a nice person in the back.

And you think you'll be able to live happily?

You should leave.

I'm giving you the last chance.

Don't take Ye Rin away from him. Then, I'll forgive everything else.

You're really crazy. You're out of your mind!

Our ill-fated relationship, let's end it here.

No. I won't do it as you want.

That's what I wanted too. I wanted to put an end to it too.

But I don't think I can do that.

Nothing will go your way from now on because I'll make that sure of it!

So Ra!

This will be the last time I put up with you.

You didn't put up with me for my sake, though.

A larger number of fish gather, so it's getting heavier.

A larger number of fish gather, so it's getting...

Where have you been? You didn't even answer your phone.

- Ba Da. - Yes?

Take a deep breath twice.

Why?

I'm going to tell you something,

and I don't want to get shocked.

What are you going to tell him?

I need you to leave us alone.

I don't know what it's about...

- but do it later. - I said, leave.

What is it?

Actually,

there are a few things you don't remember due to the aftereffects of the surgery.

I and Do Hoon are no longer together.

- What? - That's not all.

You're penniless, and Ye Rin is...

working with Do Hoon, not you.

No...

What are you talking about?

Do Hoon deceived us and took all of our money away!

So don't wait for him anymore.

He's no longer a part of our lives.

But don't worry. I'm on the right track.

I'm totally fine without Do Hoon.

I'm going to live hard without relying on anyone. So Watch me.

So don't worry about anything.

And I'll get your money back.

You're okay, right?

You and I will be...

all right.

Right?

Yes?

Ba Da.

What did you tell him?

Did you tell him everything?

I'm going home first, so take care of him.

So Ra!

(Shooting the Stars)

Get lost!

I said, get lost, you leech!

Don't be a crybaby!

Your guilt won't be cleansed by feeling tormented, being drunk!

I'll tell Ba Da...

that it was a mistake and ask him to forgive me!

Sure, go ahead.

Even if it was a mistake, you almost killed him.

Go ahead and do it if you can give up on everything you have.

It's something you can't undo.

We've done wrong to them, and we should stick together to the end.

I'll be next to you.

- Hello? - Ba Da is gone missing.

What?

I checked the entire hospital, but I couldn't find him.

Do you have any idea?

Ba Da.

I'm lost.

I don't remember how to get home.

Come on. Don't be like this.

I said we'd be fine.

I said everything would be all right.

Don't be like this for me.

If you break down like this, I have no one to rely on.

Ba Da.

Pull yourself together for me, please.

Don't take it too seriously.

The doctor also told us...

that he might not remember people or get lost unexpectedly.

We just need to pay extra attention.

Sung Tae.

I am...

scared of people now.

I'm scared of people...

and the world.

I'm scared of everything so much that I want to hide somewhere.

But I can't do that.

I can't go hide when Ba Da is in such a condition.

I don't know...

how I should live.

You're being a chick again.

Did you already forget that you should protect Ba Da now?

I wonder if there's anyone who's unluckier than Ba Da.

He's unlucky with his parents, friends, and women.

No.

At least,

his life would've been better if he hadn't had a sister like me.

If it hadn't had me,

he would've been able to do things he liked with the money he saved...

and live a happy life with a woman he loved.

It's all my fault.

It's all because of me.

If I'd known it,

I would've stayed back in my hometown...

instead of coming to Seoul.

You're really clueless.

Even though you were an immature troublemaker,

you were there next to him, crying and laughing together.

I bet it meant a lot coming from you to him.

If I had a younger sister like you,

I'd live like Ba Da.

So...

don't say it would've been better if he hadn't had a sister like you.

To someone lonely like me, it sounds like a mere complaint.

You won't say such a thing anymore, right?

No.

I won't.

And I won't let others take advantage of me anymore.

As much as Ba Da and my heart ached,

I will live with firm determination.

I'll harden my heart for Ba Da.

But don't harden your heart against me, though.

You're scary enough already.

Sung Tae.

I'm glad that someone like you is next to me.

Thank you. I'll do my best.

Thank Mi Ryeon.

She threatened me that she'd move to another salon if I didn't help you.

So you should do your best to save my face.

Then, start coming from tomorrow.

- Okay. See you tomorrow. - Thank you!

A Jung!

A Jung, I got a job! Now I can make money!

- I'm so happy for you. - Let's do this.

What's this?

Unite, three beauties!

Do just like this.

- It's too childish. - Just do it for me.

Fine.

- In 1, 2, 3! - Unite, three beauties!

I could get only 5,000 dollars.

Those purse-proud ladies all became reluctant...

when I actually asked them to lend me some money.

Mi Ryeon.

Thank you so much.

I owe you a lot.

Gosh.

How do we get the rest, anyway?

Oh, right! Ask Do Hoon.

Although you two are over now,

you can ask him for such a thing.

You must be busy, so go back in.

Gosh. It's not time for you to stand on your pride.

Ms. Lee, customers are waiting for you.

Okay. I'll be there soon.

Unbelievable.

If you don't ask him, I will.

Hello, ma'am.

Hey.

I'll just get to the point.

I don't want to speak to you for long either.

I said I had something to tell you!

Good day.

The elevator here is made of glass. It must be expensive.

Be quiet. It's not a place where someone like you can make a noise.

Nonsense.

No matter where we are, I need to say what I've got to say.

You better pay back the money you took away from Ba Da.

He can't leave the hospital because of you, so pay it back quickly.

Got it?

Why are you running away?

Is it because you won't pay it back?

Do I have to beat you into jelly?

- What are you doing? Drag him out! - Yes, sir!

I'm going to make you pay him back, even with interest,

so wait and see!

He's such a bad jerk! You don't know what kind of a guy he is!

Don't ever come back!

I'm going to come back! Why can't I come here?

Get up.

Go back to the hospital. Ba Da is alone there.

Are you here to meet that guy?

You don't need to see him. He won't hear a word from you!

No, that's not why I'm here.

Then, why are you here?

What are you looking for?

What?

Have you been looking for that until now?

What are you going to do with that?

You dumped it once, and it's all over!

Why are you here to take it back?

It's quite annoying.

Can I sell it here?

I'd like to sell this ring. How much is it?

Well. Please wait.

What? Do I look ridiculous?

Come on. Don't say that.

You know. Who else would sell the ring received...

from their boyfriends that dumped them?

Don't think that way. That was a good choice.

In movies or dramas,

they throw the rings from their exes into the river, right?

But I always thought that was such a waste.

So Ra, well done.

I knew that jerk would've got you a cheap one.

How could a wedding ring cost a couple of hundred dollars?

I would've gotten you a diamond ring.

One that costs over one thousand dollars.

It's for you.

Did your brother leave the hospital?

Not yet.

But how did you know that?

The guy named Sung Tae asked to withdraw the deposit, so I knew it.

He said he needed it urgently because of the medical fee.

I had to get money suddenly, and it was quite hard.

Actually, you can't do that,

but your brother was such a good guy, so I let it slide this time.

So make sure to pay rent on time.

I did it out of kindness despite my own inconvenience,

so I hope nothing unpleasant thing happens between us in the future.

Right.

Sung Tae!

- Take this. - Okay.

Are you okay? Should I carry you on my back?

It's okay.

Thank you, sir!

What are you doing?

It's because you're so cute.

What is wrong with you?

You're indeed an old lady.

Ba Da.

Ba Da, eat!

I don't feel like eating.

Still, you should eat.

You have to eat to recover. Or you won't be able to make money!

Geez. Don't yell at him.

He needs mental peace and stability more than anything.

You know that.

It's not like you.

Where's that frugal Ba Da?

Where's that dogged Ba Da?

If you stay like that, out of yourself, will your money come back to you?

Will Ye Rin come back to you?

You know she won't! It'll only make your life more miserable!

So eat.

It might not taste good but swallow it down.

Chew on it and swallow it down!

Ba Da, slow down. Or you'll have an upset stomach.

I'll give you some water.

Here.

Have it with some soup.

Eat it with side dishes too!

You did the roll-straight perm and dyed your hair, right?

It's 160 dollars.

- It's just so lovely. Do you like it? - Yes.

- Give her some free samples. - Okay.

Thank you. See you again.

Oh, I forgot the most important thing.

Sung Tae.

Yes?

If you have time, have a seat.

Do you have something to tell me?

Sung Tae.

Well...

You should...

go your way.

Sorry?

We shouldn't be together...

but go our separate ways.

What... What are you talking about?

I'm not...

a qualified manager.

So you don't have to be with me.

Ba Da.

We promised to work for the rest of our lives.

Did you forget about it too?

You know that I can't even find my way home now.

I won't be of any help to you.

I'm all right.

You decided to work with me even though I was illiterate.

I can also wait until you recover.

It's not about my health condition.

I don't think I can no longer work as an actor's manager.

How can I make you into an actor when I'd already lost Ye Rin?

No.

You're the only one who can help me make a debut as an actor.

I'm telling you this for your sake.

If you stay next to me,

you can't succeed.

Don't say that.

- I didn't hear anything today. - Sung Tae.

Do as I say.

Find a better manager...

Please stop!

I have...

wanted to become an actor for a long time.

But people said I wouldn't make it...

because I was illiterate, so I gave up, thinking it was an empty dream.

And one day, I met you.

You brought my dream back to life.

Meeting you was the luckiest thing in my life!

And...

you're telling me to leave you and go my own way?

I can't do that.

You told me...

you'd never give up on me as long as I don't give up on my dream!

You promised me!

Sung Tae, I'm sorry that I couldn't keep the promise.

Sorry that I disappointed you.

But please understand me.

No, I can't.

I can't give up, so you should keep the promise.

I...

want to be a famous actor.

I'll become a famous actor...

and find my parents and brother, who I was separated from when I was young.

So you should help me.

I need no one's help but yours!

You want to find your parents and brother?

Yes.

When were you separated from them?

When I was six.

Although I lived with them only for ten months,

it was the happiest time...

of my life.

I was an adoptee.

I didn't have my biological parents from the beginning,

so that was the only time...

I had a family.

By now, they might not remember me at all,

but I really want to find them.

Once I become a famous actor, I'll be able to find them, Ba Da.

You'll help me, right?

If you have such a goal,

I really must not keep you by my side.

There's no hope if you're with me.

I already gave up on hope in myself.

So I have no energy or willpower to help you now.

You're just a heavy burden to me now.

Why are you out here?

I wanted to say goodbye before I left.

What?

Are you going somewhere?

Come in.

What's gotten into you?

You made Sung Tae go? Are you really giving up on your life?

So Ra.

You told me not to be a fool and not to live a pathetic life!

And look what you're like! Are you really going to crumble like this?

Aren't you angry? Aren't you infuriated?

Then, you should grit your teeth and get back at them!

You must make them regret betraying you bitterly!

I do not want to get back at them.

Ba Da!

I won't get Sung Tae anywhere.

Do you want to ruin his future too?

Ba Da, you can regain your feet.

You'll make Sung Tae a much greater actor than Ye Rin...

and show Do Hoon how successful you can become.

You can really do that.

That's nonsense.

Sung Tae needs a new manager, not someone incompetent like me.

He needs someone who can give him actual help.

Then, I'll be the one.

- What? - I'll be his manager.

You don't know about the job.

No one knows from the start. I can learn one by one.

I can do it with your help.

I, So Ra,

am Sung Tae's manager as of today.

Do you...

also think I'm not qualified to become your manager?

I know...

that I look pathetic and incapable.

But I'll work hard.

I'll do it with all my might. I can do it.

Can't you trust me?

Making me into an actor...

is too much for you.

You should find someone else.

It has to be you because my brother chose you.

Ye Rin had left him, and you're all he's got now.

If you stay next to him, he'll pick up heart.

And if we keep working hard together, he'll start to believe in us.

Even Ba Da...

thinks me of a burden.

You know he didn't mean it!

He just lost confidence temporarily.

So please help Ba Da.

No, help us, please.

Sung...

(Shooting the Stars)

What does that say?

- What? - Read it!

I came up here tens of times,

but I don't know what it says!

I am...

an illiterate that can't read at all!

Can you still deal with me?

(Woori Stationery and Grocery)

Sir, please wait!

I need to buy something urgently.

It's not closed yet, right? I'll make it very quick.

- Open it. - What is it?

Just open it!

- What are you trying to do? - Can't you see?

You can't read at all, so I'm going to teach you from now on.

You don't have to. Forget it.

Why?

Do you find learning the alphabet from me humiliating?

Still, you have no choice.

Because I decided to make you literate as your manager.

Thank you, but you don't have to.

My life has been fine without learning the alphabet.

I see. So will you keep deceiving others with your great memory?

- Deceiving? - Yes, that's deception!

You pretend to be literate in front of others!

Well, you look just fine...

and remember everything you hear just once.

No one will think you're illiterate!

- So Ra, that's too much. - Stay out of this.

I'll take care of Sung Tae from now on.

What are you going to do? Are you going to deceive others like now?

So what are you going to do?

You'll do what even the school teachers failed?

I will!

If you fail to learn it at once, I'll teach you ten times.

And if you still fail to learn it, I'll keep teaching you until you get it!

So Ra, it's not that simple.

Sung Tae is smart.

He just has an issue called dyslexia that makes him hard to read letters.

So teaching him the alphabet isn't as simple as you think.

I'll still teach him!

I won't give up on him so easily like you, okay?

Look.

This is called "giyeok."

And this is a vowel named "a."

So when they're combined, it sounds "ga."

This is "nieun," this is "digeut," and this one is "rieul."

And this sounds "a."

When "giyeok" and "a" are combined, you read it as "ga."

And this is "na." This is "da," and this is "ra."

If you can remember these four, it's a great improvement...

because you didn't know a single alphabet before you learned these! Okay?

Darn it! I can't do this!

That's just so natural!

If you're confident when you know nothing, that's called vanity.

You can do it well.

Look. This is "ga."

Look! You have such a good memory, so you can memorize it at once!

Look at this.

"Ga."

This is "na,"

this is "da," and this is "ra."

Repeat after me. "Ga."

Repeat after me. "Ga."

"Ga."

- That's too small. "Ga!" - "Ga!"

- This is "na." - "Na!"

- "Da." - "Da!"

- "Ra!" - "Ra!"

Once again, from the start.

It's "ga." "Giyeok" and "a" are combined, so it's "ga."

"Ga!" Repeat after me. "Ga!"

Look at this. How can you remember it if you don't look at it?

What is this?

- "Ga." - "Ga."

- "Ga." - "Ga!"

- Look and read. "Ga!" - "Ga!"

Then, what's this one?

"Na!"

"Na."

I said, open your eyes and look at this. What's this one?

When they're combined, it's "ra." Remember it.

Let's see. No, I'm not doing this.

My goodness!

Good.

(Da)

(Ma, ba, sa)

(Ja)

"Siot" and "a" are combined. Say "a."

- "A." - Then, it's "sa." Got it?

- It's read "noraebang." - "Noraebang."

"Nieun" and "o" are combined. Okay?

(Nara Snack)

You must be able to read those first two letters.

I taught you.

- They're easy. Try reading them. - Sure.

(Nara)

"Ga."

"Na."

"Da."

Right? It's "da." I knew it.

Am I wrong?

You're really making me frustrated.

How can you forget things you see with your eyes...

when you can remember things you hear just once?

It's really unbelievable.

But I can read the last two letters.

- What are those? - "Snacks."

Oh, gosh!

- So you can read some letters! - Of course!

So look!

- What? - Look below the sign.

You know how well I deceive others, and you got fooled again!

Seriously. You fooled me again?

Let's just have a roll of gimbap here.

- Oh, my goodness. - Let's eat gimbap.

Ta-da.

Time to review!

Look. What letter is this?

Read it.

Stop eating! Pay attention!

Gosh.

By the way, why is Ye Rin in the newspaper?

(Rookie Actress Jeong Ye Rin Is Cast...)

(as the Lead Role in Director Jang's "Abyss.")

She's cast as the lead role in a movie.

They're holding the press conference on a large scale.

That's good for her.

Sung Tae, let's make your profile.

- Good. - Sure.

Name.

Gu Sung Tae.

"Gu Sung Tae."

Date of birth.

Your date of birth?

- January 1, 1980. - "January 1, 1980."

Gosh, you were born on a great day.

Everyone will remember it once they hear it, right?

That's not my real birthday.

That's when I was abandoned in front of the orphanage.

Your schooling background.

I'm a middle school graduate.

What?

You're shocked, right?

An illiterate graduated middle school. Isn't that a miracle?

But looking back, I shouldn't have attended middle school.

If I hadn't, I wouldn't have had to do my military service.

But because I graduated middle school,

I worked as a public service worker.

Why?

You feel hopeless, don't you?

Then, you can give up now if you want.

Hey, it's okay.

Educational background isn't important!

Chow Yun Fat and Jackie Chan didn't go higher than elementary school!

But they're all Hollywood stars!

This kind of profile is useless!

We don't have to make the same kind of profile.

We can make it in our own style.

(I was born to be an actor.)

"I was born to be an actor."

"So, please don't ask me..." And space.

"About my past."

(Please do not ask me about my past.)

Get up!

I'll read it for you. Everything about you is in this.

"Name, Gu Sung Tae."

"The date of birth, January 1, 1980."

"Height is 187cm, and the weight is 76kg."

"The specialty is facial expression."

"I was born to be an actor. So please do not ask me about my past."

"All I have is my future."

"I'll do my best."

- In 1, 2, 3! Go for it! - Let's go!

High-five! Yes!

- No way. You should do both sides. - Come on!

We should focus on this side, dye, and do some perm.

- Perm? No way! - Yes, he has to do the perm!

- No, I know he'll look fabulous. - That's unacceptable! Gosh.

- It's good that you're here. - I'm happy that you're here.

- Gosh. - Move. Let me do it.

- Which one is better? This or this? - This one.

No way! This is better, right?

- This is way better! - What's wrong with you?

Hey, think about it.

- Move. - I think...

- But you know what? It has to be... - It's not this side!

No, not this side!

Goodness!

- It's where celebrities all come, right? - Yes.

He's here to take actor pictures. He's an aspiring actor.

- I see. - Please take good photos of him.

- I'm sure he'll look good in photos. - Okay.

Smile.

Come on.

Sir, can you please count on three?

You need to give me time to get ready.

One more time, please.

It's not too late.

Let's put off the conference and change the female lead role.

She doesn't even have basic acting skills.

And if the movie becomes a total flop, don't you know Power suffers a big loss?

But I trust your capability.

It was you who made Lee Seung Woo into a big movie star.

I'm sure you'll make Ye Rin into a great actress.

I do not put effort into anybody.

If you insist,

you better start casting and funding from ground zero.

Reporters will be here soon. Please get ready.

I'm ready. Can I go out now?

This is your first and last chance.

Keep in mind that you won't have any more chances if you ruin it.

I know that.

If that happens, it will take a toll on not only me but also you.

I will pull it off for both of us,

- so don't worry. - Do not forget.

I've made this chance for you, and if you fail to become a star,

I'm turning away from you without a second thought.

And you will never be able to come back to this scene.

Then, you'll have no choice but to go back to that gutter.

Do you understand?

Don't worry.

That will never happen.

- Ye Rin, please look this way. - Here.

("Abyss" Press Conference)

Would that be it?

What he dreamed of.

What he wanted, even by betraying Ba Da and me.

I'm sure that's not all.

You said he was such a clever guy.

If he'd been really clever, he must've known...

how much loss betraying a nice friend like Ba Da would bring him.

If he betrayed Ba Da just to achieve that success,

you could never say he's a clever guy.

Then, can you say you'll never betray Ba Da no matter what happens?

At least,

I do not trade my success with him.

I still can't believe that I'm cast in Director Jang's movie.

To be honest, I'm anxious that I might ruin the movie.

But I'll put my best endeavor into being a great actress through this film.

I kindly ask you all to show your love.

Congratulations on your appearance in the movie.

I wish you happiness all the time.

From Ba Da.

You should stop by my place.

I'm good.

Don't get the wrong idea.

I just want to talk about our work.

It seems like he encountered an armed robber on his way to my place.

His wallet is missing.

Ba Da!

Ye Rin.

(Next Episode)

I'll teach you about men.

You'll teach me what? About men?

I think Sung Tae...

If we work hard, I think he can be an excellent actor.

Audition?

Please consider him for any parts.

Maybe it's certain.

Will he be in the commercial too?

Your face inspires me.

It inspires me to be more resilient and to climb up.

You make me driven.

They might cast you as the main character in the chocolate commercial.

Why don't we do a read-through?

Sorry?

The read-through?

I'm so sorry.

It means that I'll run to you whenever something comes up with you.

"I'm happy. Are you happy?"
