You're listening to Star News.

I have the latest on Young-woo, the main rapper of the hot group, P2S!

The young star has proved his many talents as a songwriter too.

Unfortunately, we haven't seen him for months since his motorcycle crash.

Now, Young-woo is taking on a play.

With LEE Jae-ha, a theatrical star, he'll star in PARK Won-ho's first play.

I can't wait to watch his performance with the orthodox method actor.

Hello!

Welcome!

Lost weight?

You're becoming Walter, right?

Don't start!

Hello.

- It's been a while. - Yes.

Here, sir.

Thanks.

Read the script?

I'm reading it now.

Damn.

He must be stuck in traffic.

He's not here?

What?

I think Young-woo went to the bathroom.

We arrived a while ago.

Sorry.

Young-woo!

Where's Young-woo?

We're here.

Let's not be late.

And greet the crew.

This is Young-woo. It's an honor.

This is Singer.

He loved Walter so much...

that he mistakes Mark, his enemy, as Walter.

Applause!

Meet Mark.

He accepts Singer's love to survive...

but eventually kills him.

Now let's check some revised parts.

Turn to the script.

Act 1 page 8.

Untied, Mark notices Singer saying he's scared and changing subjects.

Mark realizes Singer mistakes him for Walter.

The turning point is weak here. We need to change it.

'Where am I?' 'How long was I here?'

Let's stress the lines like that.

Excuse me.

Take notes, please.

Everyone took notes?

Congrats Hee-won.

Wish I can paint pictures worth selling.

Sorry I'm late.

- How was the rehearsal? - Good.

- Doing another play? - Yes.

- Young-woo is his counterpart. - Really?

Isn't he cute? His face is smaller than a fist.

Young-woo?

I guess.

- This got sold? - Yes.

But it's so hard for you to say goodbye, Hee-won.

Should we read the script?

Read? For what?

Alone? It's a two-character play!

Man...

Hi!

Excuse me.

Singer. I'm the one you love, right?

You still doubt me?

It's not that.

You're the only one for me.

The only one in the world.

- Stay back, please! - Young-woo! We love you!

- Bro. - Hmm?

- Get a new actor. - What?

Who can portray Walter, but you?

No one! Never!

I wrote this with you in mind.

Not me, him!

No way, pal!

Let me win awards and make a big hit.

Please!

Then bring on a real actor!

Jae-ha!

Jae-ha!

Hey! Come on!

TROUBLEMAKER TEEN IDOL

YOUNG-WOO SNEAKS OUT TO NIGHTCLUB

Shit.

Say it.

What?

You're enjoying this.

No. Looks like you're enjoying it.

Don't make fun of me.

DIRECTOR PARK

Yes, director.

Tomorrow? At our place?

What time?

Okay, then.

Bye.

What? Tomorrow what?

He's coming over with Young-woo.

Young-woo?

You said you understand the betrayal Claire felt.

You always felt guilty towards Claire.

All because of me, it's...

It's...

It's ruined. Is that it?

It's ruined. Is that it...

Singer?

I'm the one you love, right?

They're all listening to silence.

Silence draws attention in a play, but not for long.

We gotta keep the tension.

Make sparks every moment!

We need to fill the stage

Singer.

You really don't know?

Don't you know how much I love you?

Since I first met you...

You made me want to give up everything for you!

I'm sorry for acting like a child.

It's okay.

Our situation drove us to it.

Come on in.

I'm home.

- I'm home too. - Don't come in.

Young-woo?

Come in.

We need promises in a play.

Why are promises important? To act more freely.

Sure!

Sure?

Young-woo agrees. Let's go eat first.

Man! What did you get me into?

Now, let's all go eat freely.

Your manager must be waiting.

Where the hell are you?

I told you to come right back after practice!

Hello Mr. Kim.

Hi, director!

See him?

Mr. Lee Jae-ha! Hello!

I insisted Young-woo do the play.

Great. Thank you.

We're eating.

Do you enjoy acting?

Think acting is fun?

Maybe it can be.

I'll make it fun.

Eat up.

You miss it, don't you?

When you had a family?

That's why you suspect I killed them?

I think...

Singer would be mad about Walter worrying about Claire.

If Singer asks like that...

and Walter admits to it...

then I think Singer can end his life without regrets.

So I thought I could add that in.

I like it. It's great!

Edit that part as Young-woo suggested.

Yes, sir.

That's it for today! Good job.

Thank you.

- Raise one more step? - Sure.

Good work.

Our Singer!

You've become him, right?

He has no affection for Walter yet.

Perhaps you'll love me tomorrow?

Sure!

Sure what?

I'll love Walter from tomorrow.

Why you!

You're really something.

- What's that you carry around? - This?

Curious?

Not really.

See ya.

It's his method acting notebook.

Must be filled with secrets.

He writes more than two books for every play.

Ask him to show it to you.

Why should I?

- A thicker one would suit, right? - For what?

Already?

More realistic stuff would help this newbie.

I'll go tomorrow.

Jae-ha likes to get his own props.

He always gets the perfect things for his characters.

As a director, I call it discovery!

Did you see him in 'Waiting for Godot'?

Know the worn, small hat? He discovered it.

Take me with you!

What?

I want to discover too.

Magnifying glass.

$4?

Shouldn't you look where you're going?

Singer is blindfolded, but he still sees.

Look at this!

An airplane.

What's this?

- Don't know? - No.

It's an iron.

You put hot water in here.

Look.

Don't you think Singer would carry this around?

The finger?

Yes.

Oh, it should look like this?

Young-woo?

Hold out your hand.

Too thick?

- What do you think? - Nice.

How's this one?

Hi, babe.

- Nice, huh? - Yup.

It's Young-woo!

Stay back, please!

Can we take a picture of you?

Come here.

Get in.

We're on our way, sir.

Your book!

I got it.

Okay.

Here's the water.

Thanks.

- It's so hot. - That's cold!

Hey!

Sorry.

- It wasn't on purpose. - Stop it. I'm working.

The water is so clear.

Come on! Stop it!

Hey!

How dare you!

Wait right there. I'll get you!

I finished the book.

An idea has to be given flesh and blood and emotional reality.

It must go beyond imitation,

so that an invented life can't be distinguished from the real thing.

We can see why a true actor is worth the enormous pay for giving...

a plausible impression of everyday life.

Wait. Hold on.

Peter Brook?

Give a plausible impression of everyday life, right?

You memorized my book overnight?

You really are something.

I started out in sculpting.

This was on display in my first exhibition.

But he insisted on buying it.

It's my only self-sculpture. Why would I sell it?

But he kept pushing me to sell it.

So I told him to take it, but he has to take me too.

You came on to him?

Did I?

Yes, you did.

You came right to me first.

No.

Before I knew it, you were in my heart.

When I was empty...

Jae-ha calls it costuming.

He loses or gains weight.

He even lived in the mountains for a month.

And visited prisons for months.

Must be hard being a teen idol.

Sort of.

For me, it's harder to memorize lines.

He says it's not about memorizing.

It's listening.

I agree with that.

I help him practice whenever I can.

Do it for me too?

Do what?

Bro.

Did I tell you I killed Mark's dog?

Mark doesn't have a dog.

Yes, he does!

I hate children and puppies.

Those who are loved for no reason.

There's a limited portion of love in the world.

Wait.

I love this line.

Director Won-ho may appear blunt...

but he writes such exquisite lines.

I can't wait.

Your performance too.

I hate children and puppies.

Those who are loved for no reason.

There's a limited portion of love in the world.

I'll do it.

Center! Okay!

Be careful!

You gotta do a good job.

It's your chance to start out as an actor.

Taking pics?

- Yes. - Good.

Young-woo? Stand here.

Singer!

Position!

Stop it.

What?

Turn the light off!

Where's he going?

Man.

Nice weather.

A teen idol who's allergic to light?

Hey.

Answer me, kid.

Why is everyone so violent?

I'm doing this because I love it.

But why does everyone boss me around?

So you don't want to do it?

Then don't do it.

I was scared of the lighting on my first stage too.

But it's boring without that.

We bet our lives to get the spotlight.

A play is a promise. I'll go down.

Now...

Spotlight!

Young-woo!

I wanted to see you so badly.

Though people stared and mumbled on our way home...

you held my hand tightly.

I could feel it more than ever.

That we love each other.

So I'm taking this with me.

I'm taking this, bro.

It's mine.

Here's to our play, 'Unchain'!

Cheers!

How about another song?

I'm so sorry.

Young-woo has a busy schedule tomorrow.

Young-woo!

You've come a long way!

Thank you!

Do well on the poster shoot tomorrow too!

Don't think your character will stay inside you forever.

He's always one to slip away.

Okay.

I'll see you at the shoot.

Young-woo, you've changed from the play.

Great.

You became sexier.

With a deeper look.

So masculine.

What?

When wasn't I masculine?

Why you.

Let's change clothes.

Look at that.

Looks good.

- This? - Yes, wear it.

Let's just strip.

It'll suit Singer and Walter's emotions more.

Right, bro?

Put your hand on him?

Good!

- I'm hungry. - Okay.

Stay with me, bro?

My manager will let me go if I leave with you.

That's it!

My finger is gone.

I'm shocked. The veins are out like thread.

It's amazing.

Is it cut wrong?

Should I pull off the veins?

Walter? What's wrong?

The lines are weird! I can't say them!

Then change them yourself!

It's not because I can't change them, bro!

You know how I work!

What?

Hee-won?

I told you not to do this when it's close to opening night.

I can feed myself, you know.

You embarrassed me.

Let's go from taking off the blindfold.

You still doubt me?

You're too slow.

I unchain myself then find the finger.

You should come to me quicker!

And why keep pausing?

Think Singer pauses like that?

Fuckin' fool.

Come on.

Would Singer move like this when he wants to be held?

Walter has to allure Singer first.

I don't feel like going to Walter at all.

Do it again.

What's this?

I don't know.

It's my finger. Why did you have it?

Please hold me? Please, bro?

Why are you doing this?

I don't remember.

Mark took a gun out. I had no choice.

Don't lie!

Why do you keep lying!

Ow!

What happened?

- Young-woo is bleeding! - Hey!

Don't be so real!

Just act! Come on!

It's a play!

Where were you?

I was right here.

I was so scared.

I prayed for you to come.

Did you forget your lines?

Say 'I missed you'.

LEE JAE-HA MEETS YOUNG-WOO IN 'UNCHAIN'

Don't go.

Stay with me.

Don't you see me?

I'm on the edge. Stop pushing me.

I must be crazy.

Totally.

Hi, bro.

By chance, are you gay?

No.

I just like you.

What if he does something crazy?

Thinks he's Brad Pitt or something?

Report him missing or something!

A new post!

Crazy bastards.

There's nobody here!

Yes!

MANAGER

Son of a bitch!

Come out!

Come out now!

What did you do with him?

- He's a kid! - I can explain.

Stay off him! Say you abducted him.

Was it you, Hee-won?

You brought them here?

Of course I know this place! How can I not?

You always hide out here!

You know way too much about me.

I know you?

The promiscuous, shoddy shit?

Tell me!

What am I supposed to do?

You fall so hard in your every play!

Now, it's a guy?

Stop it.

How could you?

How dare you!

What actor? When you're ruining your life!

Don't talk.

Don't say a word.

It's all an act to me.

ACTOR SNEAKS OFF WITH TEEN IDOL?

YOUNG-WOO

Bro!

Don't worry. It'll pass soon.

Where are...

PRODUCTION PRESS CONFERENCE

Should we do it or not?

I'll leave out the play's highlight.

Jae-ha! Come on, man!

It's about a tragic one-sided love that ends in death.

It's a reflection on modern-day, contorted love.

I did it on purpose.

I wanted to tell the world about us being in love.

Bro.

You love me, right?

You said you loved me.

Now, I can tell everyone how I really feel.

No, how we feel.

Now, let's meet our two stars. LEE Jae-ha and Young-woo!

'Unchain' is about...

a man in love who wants to erase someone who ruined his life.

So they did something similar to what's in the play?

Can we assume that?

Why did you recommend Young-woo to play your counterpart?

Pardon?

Did you like each other way before this?

Does the play have to do with your sexual orientation, Jae-ha?

Are the pictures real?

Young-woo's agency claims they're composites.

Did you really kiss?

It's just a scene in the play.

- I got too immersed in the role. - Then...

Is the picture real?

I'm a method actor.

You kissed due to method acting?

Is that what you're saying?

I did it in the play.

Young-woo? Any comments?

Can you describe your character?

My character Singer is...

We did it in our roles.

And we kill each other in the play.

Please come and watch it.

That's my answer to your questions.

I'd like to thank everyone for coming to our press conference.

Please take a look at the press release for details. Thank you.

How about an interview?

What's your relationship to him?

A word, please!

Young-woo!

His statement will be in the press release.

A word to your fans?

Let's talk after the play.

You'll be Walter till then anyway.

Where'd you hide him!

He's been missing all night! Where is he?

How dare you!

You begged me to let him star in this!

And how dare you step foot here!

This is my sacred stage!

Stay away from my actor!

Don't disrupt him!

Back off!

Let's just start the play.

I'll go up as Singer if I have to!

Young-woo? You're here.

It's opening night. Act like it's real.

Be real in acting.

Though we had no dress rehearsal.

Go get 'em Walter!

Go get 'em Singer!

Break a leg!

Why didn't you bring this?

Sir?

Did you go to my house?

Got my book from Hee-won?

Now, I think I can be Singer perfectly, Walter.

3 minutes to showtime! Standby!

Help me! Untie me!

Please...

I want to leave.

Bro? It's me, Singer.

Singer.

I'm the one you love, right?

Bro...

I was so scared.

I prayed for you to come!

I prayed for you to come.

I missed you like crazy.

I remember now.

Mark did this to us.

I went to Claire's house.

What?

Not Hee-won!

I mean, Claire! Why did you go to her?

My finger hurts so badly. Shit! My finger is gone!

Somebody cut off my finger?

You can see?

Then untie me! Hurry!

Singer?

I'm the one you love, right?

You still doubt me?

You're the only one for me! The only one in the world!

What's this?

It's my finger!

Why do you have my finger?

I don't know.

Tell me.

You went to Claire's house.

What did she say?

You love me, right?

Yes, I love you.

How can I believe that?

Bro?

Kiss me.

Hold me.

Now you won't kiss me even in the play?

Tell me!

Why do you have my finger?

Where is Hee-won!

I saw Claire on the ground outside.

I think she's dead.

No!

No! Stop it!

Stop!

Can't we just live like this forever?

I loved holding your hand.

So I'll take this.

Wait.

Bro...

We can't get out of here.

I'm the one who locked you and me in here.

Because you can't go back to Claire.

And most importantly, Claire shouldn't find us.

That's why I killed Claire.

Why!

Walter.

I can't stand that you don't love me.

I thought of this so that you'd never forget or leave me.

But I forgot the way out.

I'm the one who put you in this.

It was me!

Me!

Mark helped me.

Because Mark loves Claire too

Why do you and Mark love Claire? You said you loved me!

You said you loved me!

Why! Why!

I hate children and puppies.

Those who are loved for no reason.

There's a limited portion of love in the world.

If you make it out, go see her corpse.

She's in the trunk of your car.

When you do get out, we'll both be dead.

No...

Take care.

You don't want to save me, but yourself, right?

Wanna live that desperately?

Then why did you lie to me?

If you say one more word, I said I'll kill you!

What happened? He didn't exit stage.

- He didn't? - No!

Young-woo!

Hey!

Young-woo...

House!!

Turn the lights on!

I was perfect as Singer.

You were just Walter.

I named the play 'Unchain' because...

I think human love is individual.

They're connected, but the link can be broken.

I wanted to express that.

Young-woo!

Good work.

Get some rest.

Great show!
