Original subtitles

You were robbed on your way to come to my house.

Your wallet was gone.

Ba Da!

Ye Rin.

What are you doing here?

You can't enter my house like this without my permission!

I...

I'm sorry, Ye Rin.

I just...

(Episode 6)

Ba Da.

Give my keys back.

I am not what I used to be anymore.

If anyone discovers I have a visitor like you,

it may damage my reputation.

Ba Da.

You understand, don't you?

Oh... Yes.

I'm sorry, Ba Da.

No. It's all my fault.

I'm really sorry I entered your house when you weren't there.

Goodbye, then.

Ye Rin!

Can I ask you a question?

What is it?

Never mind.

Take care.

Congratulations on your new movie!

I always wish you all the best.

Sincerely, Ba Da.

Are you having a change of heart?

Do you feel guilty all of a sudden now that you've seen him?

What's the matter with you?

He may recover his memories if he keeps seeing our faces.

You'll move to a new place so he won't be able to see you again!

Where are we?

We're at an agency...

to introduce actors or models to ad or movie production companies.

Do you mean something like an employment agency?

Geez.

Look at these résumés.

Unbelievable.

How will we make you stand out from all these people?

We should've taken the photo better.

I can't believe it...

Why don't we come back later, So Ra?

They all look so busy with an office move.

What? No.

We can't just leave like this. Let me try something.

Goodness.

Geez. You might hurt your back, sir.

You can't move something this heavy by yourself, right?

Sorry?

Let us help you, sir.

You don't want to hurt yourself, do you?

Geez. Be careful!

Who are you guys?

Let's move this table first.

We'll introduce ourselves properly after that.

Sung Tae.

Do it now.

Be careful.

Lift it up, Sung Tae.

Excuse me.

Why did you stop?

So Ra.

Let's ask them to give us one.

I think we deserve to eat it.

Normally, people offer food all the time, don't they?

Are all people in this industry cold and mean?

How am I supposed to know?

I wish they would give me one.

Or just a bite.

I'm very hungry.

Sweep it as thoroughly as you can, okay?

Goodness.

When can we stop cleaning?

We're not here to become cleaners, are we?

Come on, Sung Tae.

I'm starving.

- Well done. - Good work.

- Thank you. - Goodbye.

Are you still here?

We're almost done.

Thank you so much for working today.

You might want to meet my boss.

This is our head manager.

It's nice to meet you, sir!

I'm Han So Ra, the manager of Gu Sung Tae.

They helped us move all day.

- Is that so? Thank you. - Yes.

It's our pleasure.

Oh, can you excuse me for a second?

Here.

Please remember us, sir.

What are you doing? Say hello.

It's nice to meet you.

Well,

he's better looking than the picture, isn't he?

He's much more handsome in person,

so I brought him here to show you.

Actors should look better in images or on television, not in person.

Actually...

We took this photo at a cheap studio.

Please consider him for any parts.

I would appreciate it.

Hey, I saw the head manager scanning you from head to toe.

Maybe he saw something in you.

I have a good feeling about this.

Geez. I'm exhausted.

If we'd worked like this elsewhere, we would've made a great deal of money.

Come on. It was hard, but we made them remember your face.

Of course, they will remember my face.

They'll remember me as someone having a hard time under a weird manager.

Complaining doesn't work for me.

I don't know what other successful managers do,

but I'll do it my way.

Do you mean carrying desks and cleaning the office?

Sure. I'll do anything if it's necessary.

I knew I was dumb, but I didn't know you were too.

That's what makes us a fantastic duo.

We both are stupid.

You're stupid because you can't read.

I'm stupid because I don't know anything about a guy.

They don't usually meet each other. Did you know that?

If so,

I should teach you a thing or two about guys.

What?

You can teach me how to read.

Then I'll teach you about men.

It's called reciprocity, right?

You'll teach me what? About men?

I would rather learn how to fly from a chick.

What is that supposed to mean?

It means to read the signs.

Does it mean I'm not a man?

"Realtor Office."

Repeat after me!

"Realtor Office!"

"Food. Restaurants. Snack bar!"

- Stop fooling around! - I can only see restaurants!

So Ra!

I've been starving for so long since the morning!

Skipping a few meals won't kill you.

I'm really hungry!

Excuse me.

What are you doing here?

Oh, I'm just...

Can I ask you something, sir?

Do you always work here at this hour?

I do, actually.

If so,

did you work on November 28?

On 28th?

What day was it?

I only work on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays.

It was Thursday.

Thursday?

Then I must have worked on that day.

Then, do you remember anything about a robbery on that day?

A robbery?

Yes, I heard a man was robbed and found on the street, bleeding.

No way. That never happened.

Is it possible you don't know about it?

If something like that had happened, it would have become big news.

It's impossible for me not to know about it, then.

And it's absurd to rob someone in a place like this!

As you can see, people come and go here all the time.

And look over there!

The street lamps are very bright.

Sir,

are you a detective?

No, I'm not.

Thank you.

Citron tea today?

I heard citron tea is good for preventing a cold in winter.

It's so nice to have you here, but I feel bad for you coming every day.

Come on. You don't have to.

- Gosh. - Hello.

Hello!

You come here as many times as my employees.

Right.

Let's go to my office.

It means he wants to audition him.

Audition?

It's for a chocolate commercial.

I want you to be as romantic as possible.

The theme of the commercial is the sweet romance of a young couple.

We're looking for the next rising star in this commercial.

If you get the part, you'll soon have a breakthrough.

- So, show us what you've got. - Okay.

Excuse us.

Show them, okay?

You got this.

Move a little back.

Can you lean against the wall, please?

The wall?

Imagine your lover.

Goodness.

Imagine you're staring at your lover.

And play guitar.

Let's go.

Sorry?

Guitar?

Can't you play guitar?

Sung Tae!

You know how to play guitar!

Do you have a guitar?

Just pretend you have one.

We just want to see how you do.

I'm sorry!

But can you excuse me for a second?

Just a second.

Excuse me.

It's not a guitar.

It's better than nothing.

Come on. I know you can do it.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, but I can't do it because of the noise.

What do you mean you can't?

Just do it!

Okay.

I'll try it again. Sorry.

Is that how you stare at your lover?

Have you ever been in love?

Maybe next time.

- You should have tried harder. - Geez.

Sir!

Please wait, sir.

I'm truly sorry.

I really am sorry.

But can I film him instead?

He's very nervous...

because it's his first time before the camera.

I think he'll do so much better if I film him. Please.

A lot of managers make their own promotional videos...

instead of résumés these days.

- Please give us a chance. - All right.

- Yes! - Thank you, sir!

You know how to use it, right?

- Of course! - Bring your best.

I'll do that. Thank you.

Thank you so much!

Here.

Do you know how to film it?

Don't worry.

I used it before because Mi Ryeon liked video making.

Sung Tae.

I can't believe...

you're so bad at staring at your girlfriend romantically.

It's way harder than it sounds, okay?

Hey.

An aspiring actor shouldn't say something like that.

Okay. I'll do it. All right?

Stop pouting.

Let's try it again.

We got this. All right?

Okay. Stay focused.

- Come on! - Okay.

I'll roll it.

Start.

That's it.

Good.

Thank you so much! See you!

- So Ra! - Geez!

What are you thinking?

Look at your smile.

I think Sung Tae...

What about him?

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

What are you talking about?

He has so many different aspects.

Sometimes he looks like a little kid playing with a water gun,

and sometimes he looks like a cranky old man.

And sometimes he looks...

Like a sexy man. Am I right?

How did you know it?

Be careful, So Ra.

What?

Don't put yourself through a hard time chasing after a younger guy.

Okay?

You've suffered from heartbreak enough because of a man.

Are you out of your mind?

I won't have a crush on a guy who's seven years younger than me.

Seven years? That's not a problem.

The problem is that he's going to be an actor.

When he becomes a star, he'll be popular and famous!

He'll have tons of hot young girls throwing themselves at him!

Imagine how painful it'll be for you to see that.

That will be the worst feeling ever.

Forget it.

I'm sick and tired of all men.

Don't be so sure about that.

People don't change so easily.

You fell in love once. It's only a matter of time before you do it again.

Remember that.

Why are you trying to upset me? I only told you because you asked.

Get the phone.

Hello. This is Han So Ra, the manager of Gu Sung Tae.

Head Manager!

Yes?

Ga...

Na...

Welcome.

What a good boy.

What's wrong with you? People are watching us!

I can pat you on the butt, can't I?

Who's the good boy, Sung Tae?

What's gotten into you?

Sung Tae...

What is it?

Sung Tae.

Stop Sung Tae me. Speak!

What is it? So Ra?

Are you sick or something?

- What is it? - Hey.

I'm calling you.

What on earth is it?

It's you.

Sung Tae. You...

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

They said their client loved...

- your promotion video the most. - Really?

Of course. I got the phone call.

You just have to take a simple screen test tomorrow.

A simple screen test?

That's right!

I'm serious.

- Nice! - Yes!

- Oh, yes! - Oh, yes!

We made it!

We did it!

I'm dizzy.

You can let go of me now.

What time will your shift end today?

It will end soon.

Do you want to wait?

Maybe.

- Let's get inside. It's cold out here. - No, it's okay!

I don't want to bother you when you work. I'll wait here.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Oh, yes!

I startled you, didn't I?

So Ra.

Everything is working out so well for us!

I told you so.

- Go back to work! - Okay.

Let's get going, So Ra.

No. Leave me alone.

Hey.

Close your eyes.

- Why? - Come on!

There. Surprise.

I don't need a cell phone.

Come on. Press number one.

- Number one? - Hurry.

If something happens to someone somewhere

Astroganger

Are you singing the theme song of "Astroganger?"

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

Remember you promised that.

Hang up.

Don't you know how expensive a phone call is?

You sound exactly like Ba Da!

My goal is to become exactly like my brother!

- Okay? - Oh, right.

- Have you told Ba Da? - Not yet.

You're right! Hurry up.

Geez.

- Let's hurry up and go back! - Did you forget about it again?

You're forgetful like an old lady!

Get over here!

No way!

What are you doing?

I'm texting.

Geez. What a creative way to mock an illiterate.

You've got a text message.

I can't read. Don't you remember?

Just take a look anyway.

What does it mean?

Try reading it.

It means a toilet, and...

Let me see that.

Hold on.

This means a guy.

And this means a girl.

So it's you and me.

So what on earth does that mean?

Geez.

I'll read it for you today, but you'll have to do it next time.

It means, "I'm happy. Are you happy?"

See? You can read a text message now.

Can I send one too, then?

Of course! I'll show you how. Look.

Do you see this icon of an envelope?

Press this button over here first.

The first one on the menu is the mailbox.

And the second one is to write a new message.

Press "Confirm" for the second one.

This one says, "Confirm," so just memorize its location.

- Okay. - Focus, Sung Tae.

Just press this one, and then press it again.

Press it one more time, and then press this.

When you press it three times, you can write a message.

This one right here is the menu.

Remember, this one over here is "Confirm," and that one is "Menu."

When you press "Menu,"

you can see many icons. Press it until you see the one you want.

- There are the ones I used. - There they are.

I think I can do it.

Are you sure you can do it?

It might be confusing at first. Try it.

Here...

No. Press it one more time.

That's it.

Do it carefully.

You're doing great.

Well done.

It's easy, right?

Ba Da!

We did it!

What are you talking about, So Ra?

Sung Tae and I made it, Ba Da.

Sung Tae will be on a chocolate commercial!

It hasn't been decided yet.

Come on! The head manager said it was almost a done deal.

That's great news. Congratulations.

That's right, Ba Da. Maybe luck is on our side.

Something good is happening to us at last.

Can you believe this is really happening to us?

Are you that happy, So Ra?

Of course, Ba Da! I'm thrilled!

I'm thrilled to know that I can do something!

Now I know I can do anything if I work really hard!

Goodness. I'm happy to see you smile too.

I love you, Ba Da.

Han So Ra made it happen!

It hasn't been settled yet.

Come on, Sung Tae! You heard the head manager!

Congratulations, Sung Tae.

Maybe it's certain.

Everything is going to be all right when you get back on track, Ba Da.

If the three of us work together,

I think we can present something amazing to the world!

Don't you want to start again?

We're going to be super busy...

when Sung Tae becomes famous after the commercial.

Don't you want to help us out, Ba Da?

Answer me!

Who knows?

If you become more successful than Do Hoon,

Ye Rin may come back to us.

Sung Tae!

Why are you still up? You're supposed to be in bed.

You need to catch up on beauty sleep for tomorrow.

I can't sleep, maybe because I am nervous.

Why are you still awake?

Maybe I'm too.

Why am I so nervous and shaky?

It feels like...

the night before I visit my boyfriend in the military.

Thank you.

For what?

If it hadn't been for you,

I wouldn't have gotten the part.

Thanks to you,

I could film the promotion video comfortably.

Geez. You're making me blush.

It's not easy to get it.

Get what?

I'm trying to get the yellow star up there.

I feel like everything will work out if I hit the star.

Really?

Let me try.

- It won't be easy. - Come on! Have some faith.

It almost hit it!

- Geez. - It was so close!

Not even close!

No! I'll do it!

After "Abyss," Ye Rin has received many offers for commercials.

I bet she has.

That's why we offer the best deal to Ye Rin.

As I said before,

we hope that Ye Rin's image in the movie is consistent with the commercial.

We don't want the commercial to damage her reputation from the movie.

Of course, we don't.

Take a look at the storyboard.

Here you go.

Isn't he an attractive young man?

Will he be in the commercial too?

Well, it hasn't been decided yet.

But he's the most likely to be cast for the commercial with you.

Well, I mean...

We watched the promotion video that the agency gave us,

and we loved his vibes.

I think he'll be here soon for the screen test.

Would you like to meet him in person?

Hello.

Hi.

- We're running late, So Ra. - Wait for a moment.

- Sung Tae. - Yes?

- What are you doing? - Stay still.

No one likes an oily face on a camera.

Get rid of that oil, then.

Geez.

You really are handsome.

I can't agree more.

You have an eye for a man.

Will you let this happen?

So Ra knows...

too many things about me,

including what happened to Ba Da and my past.

I don't want to face her at work.

It's not a big deal. I'll take care of her.

What are you going to do?

You're the star of the commercial.

They'll change the male role if we say no.

But he'll be cast in other commercials soon.

They spotted him already.

We have to make him leave the business without getting our hands dirty.

That's...

how we handle them for good.

What's on your mind?

I'll do it myself.

But I want you to take care of So Ra while I deal with him.

Hey!

Stop being nervous.

You got this. All right?

It's going to be okay.

We're going to succeed.

We got this.

So Ra.

- Yes. - Stop being nervous.

What are you talking about?

That's crazy.

Your face is oily again.

Really?

- It is. - Put it on, then.

The screen test...

Ye Rin!

So Ra!

So Ra! How have you been?

What are you doing here?

I have a meeting for a commercial.

Is that so?

Can we talk in private?

I have nothing to talk about.

Do you want to talk here?

Congratulations, Sung Tae.

I heard that you could be on a TV commercial.

How did you know?

I'm the female role in the commercial, Sung Tae.

Are you serious?

I am.

You have no idea how happy I was when I found out about this.

I hope you pass the screen test today.

I'll root for you.

Thank you.

What do you want to talk about?

Are you the manager of the boy?

I am.

It's so you.

- What is that supposed to mean? - It's so reckless of you.

Why does it have to be a manager?

You're following me behind, aren't you?

No.

I don't care about your behind anymore, okay?

I'm just doing my job.

You haven't figured yourself out yet, have you?

You're not cut out for a job like this.

Why?

If you can do it, I can do it better.

Wake up, So Ra.

Being in show business is no picnic.

I woke up already.

Thanks to you,

I snapped back into reality.

I feel grateful.

So Ra.

Listen to me.

I just don't want you to get into a rough situation.

What?

Are you worried about me or something?

Don't you think it's too late for that?

If you don't quit,

we'll have to face each other all the time.

Is that what you want?

Maybe it is.

Your face inspires me.

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

You make me driven.

How long do you think it will last?

Let's see how long it lasts.

If you're doing this to prove yourself to me,

please stop it right now.

You're just embarrassing yourself.

Why am I tearing up again?

I don't need to care about what that jerk says to me.

He means nothing to me.

Ye Rin.

The background music will play...

while the beautiful scenery is seen far away.

And Ye Rin, you'll stand there alone.

You are there in solitude.

Do you remember Sung Tae, who helped you in Busan?

Do you know why he has such a good memory?

It's because...

he cannot read.

He memorizes everything because of his dyslexia.

Imagine how difficult it is for him to be unable to read.

Can I be on the screen test with him?

You on the test?

I just want to get familiar with the scene...

as it's my first time acting with an on-screen boyfriend.

- Will it be okay? - Of course, it will.

What a professional actress you are.

Thanks for saying that.

Where on earth is So Ra?

Come in, please.

Sung Tae.

You know Ye Rin, right?

I do.

Ye Rin wants to help you with the screen test.

You're a lucky guy.

Thank you.

Okay, then.

Please stand next to each other.

Okay.

Ye Rin.

Excuse me for a second.

What a good-looking couple.

Can you strike another pose?

- Another pose? - Yes, please.

Sorry.

I have an idea.

Why don't we do a read-through since we're all here?

Sorry?

The read-through?

Let's do it, then.

Okay. Let me see.

Just read the lines of the male role, please.

Okay. Whenever you're ready, Sung Tae.

Let's start.

Sung Tae?

What are you doing, Sung Tae?

What's wrong, Sung Tae?

I'm so sorry.

Sung Tae!

What's the matter with him?

How did it go, Director?

It didn't go anywhere. We didn't even start the test.

Sorry?

Your guy...

He froze like a statue in front of the camera...

and ended up running away.

You can't give the part to somebody like that.

I can't apologize enough.

I'm really sorry.

But can you give us one more chance?

Forget it, okay? Please return.

Director...

He got frozen...

because he'd never seen a storyboard before.

If you give him another chance, he will do it perfectly.

It's not a matter of being good or not.

We cannot cast someone so irresponsible.

If he runs away like that during the actual filming,

what will we do?

It won't happen again. I promise.

I'm really sorry for the mess, but I'm begging.

- Just leave. - Please, Director.

- Leave now. - I'm really sorry.

- Please forgive us. - Geez.

You must be so upset.

I'm sorry.

I know you did your best to help me.

It happened to me too.

I cried once in front of the cameras.

I know some people at the agency.

I'll put in a word for you so that they'll give you another shot.

No.

You don't have to.

To be honest,

I'm very worried about you, Sung Tae.

Do Hoon...

won't let So Ra work as your manager like this anymore.

It might affect your career.

That's what I'm worried about.

Who is he to affect my career?

You don't know what he's capable of.

Do Hoon has become a powerful man now.

If he wants, he can ruin your whole career.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to make you worried. I only wanted to help you.

No.

Thank you for your concern.

You can leave me, Ye Rin. You don't need to waste your time on me.

Okay.

See you again.

Bye.

- I'm sorry. - I'm sorry.

You haven't done anything wrong.

I was the one who blew my chance.

No, it's my fault, Sung Tae.

I should have been there for you.

I should have helped you, reading the lines for you.

I'm bad at being Astroganger.

Don't say that.

It's not your fault, So Ra.

Where have you been? I've been so worried about you.

I couldn't go far anyway.

As you know,

I can't even catch the right bus without help.

Let's go home.

Your hands are cold.

You know what?

Maybe we were too ambitious.

No one can get the big part on their first shot.

No way.

- Am I right? - So right!

There's more.

Let's say you had a big break after the commercial...

without experiencing any failures.

- You'd become really cocky, you know? - I'd definitely become cocky.

That's right. In the long run, we'll be better off this way.

Better off, indeed.

Do you really think so?

Sure, I do.

If you say so, I believe you.

Don't throw a pity party over this.

Neither should you.

How should we bring this up to Ba Da?

He would be so disappointed.

Why aren't they here already?

Let me call her.

Just leave them alone.

They would have called us if they'd gotten the job.

Right?

Let's clean it up, then.

It would make them feel worse.

Ba Da!

Where are you going?

What does it mean?

Does it mean you feel so much better now?

It's all thanks to Astroganger.

Except for reading, you are good at everything.

It's freezing outside.

Come on!

I'm cold.

I told you to get inside.

No, I won't.

You just want them to think you're the only one supporting them.

Just stay still. I'm so cold.

Geez. I'm warm now.

Ba Da!

So Ra!

How did it go?

You look so happy, Sung Tae.

Tell me everything.

So Ra!

Why don't we throw ourselves a little party to cheer up?

Party? Where?

At your favorite place.

Let's go together.

Where is it?

You'll see when we get there.

Come on, Sung Tae.

Don't worry. No one is successful from the start.

Ba Da. Come with us.

- Me? - It's okay.

It's hard for everyone at first.

Of course! Come on!

Let's get this party started.

- Let's get in! - Geez. Hey.

This place is way too expensive.

Come on, So Ra!

I'll treat you guys today.

- What's wrong with you? - It's not what I want!

What about eating and getting drunk at a food stall?

- Let's do it, okay? - Come on. So Ra.

I know that you can't relieve your stress unless you have fun at a club.

That's how you are!

That's just how I was when I was younger. What is wrong with you?

Ba Da.

Let's have some fun inside so that So Ra can get over it.

She's right, So Ra. Have some fun with her.

- No, Ba Da. I'm okay. - He said yes! Come on!

- I really don't want to, Ba Da! - Come over here!

Let me get my hair down first.

Let's go and have some fun together. Sounds good?

- Let's go, Ba Da. - Okay. Let's go, Sung Tae.

Mi Ryeon!

A Jung!

Hi!

- Hello. - Hi.

What's the point of calling my name when your eyes are only on him?

Let's get inside, shall we?

- Geez. - Goodness.

- Ba Da. - Well...

Gosh.

All right! Let's get inside. The night is short.

Unite, three beauties!

Thank you.

- For what? - For So Ra...

If it hadn't been for you,

she wouldn't have been able to move on this fast.

I want to thank you for making her more cheerful.

Still, So Ra needs you, Ba Da.

And I need you too.

I want you to get back on track.

All right.

I met Ye Rin today.

Ye Rin is going to be in the chocolate commercial.

Is that so?

Everything is working well with her, right?

Ye Rin did many things to help me out today.

I know she works with him,

but the kind-hearted person you know stays the same.

So please don't feel so bitter about her.

I didn't tell So Ra...

that Ye Rin could have become my partner.

I didn't want to make her feel worse about it.

That's a good idea.

Sung Tae.
