(Episode 6)

- Get me our rate chart. - Yes, sir.

What's our pay ratio for level D?

Level D is assessed individually.

But last time, you yelled at General Manager Kang,

saying it was bad for the company's image.

Goodness. What's all that noise outside?

What's going on?

Goodness. Seriously.

- Hey, lady! Stop! - No, let go!

- What's your problem? - Should I go down and see?

- No, leave her be. - Why do you think...

- Let's see what she does. - I'm asking you this?

Du Won and I are very close.

The moment he hears that I'm here,

he'll come running barefoot all the way from over there.

Whatever!

Goodness.

Yes, let them in.

Oh, my gosh.

Is it really you, Lim Se Ra?

Gosh.

You've gotten so much prettier...

that I...

I could hardly recognize you.

Come here. How long has it been?

Come on.

I came to check something with you.

I'll go first.

The truth is, I wanted to meet you, but you beat me to it.

You wanted to meet me?

Why?

Can we talk in private?

It's fine. Say it.

It's a private matter between just the two of us.

Who's he?

He's my...

I'm her manager.

Come on. Your manager? No way.

Is he really your manager?

The thing is...

Yes, I am.

So please contact me to speak with Ms. Lim from now on.

She really was a top star back then.

It's great that you're acting under your real name...

instead of revealing you're Lim Se Ra. Good call.

Keep doing your thing.

Once the buzz picks up, you can reveal who you are.

Then you'll be back in your second prime.

You never used to eat more than one piece of sushi...

and three pieces of sashimi.

Eat as much as you want. It's okay.

Why is it so cold in here?

You're cold? I'll go get a blanket.

It'd be better to turn up the heater.

Hey! That will dehydrate my skin.

Oh, right. Can they warm up the floor instead?

Darn...

What the...

Du Won has always been quick to get things done.

That's his only strength.

Are you talking about way back when?

Do I still look like the road manager who used to wait on you?

Right.

You're so successful.

How come you didn't stay in touch all these years?

What in the world are you talking about?

I couldn't reach you because I didn't even know where you were.

You were hiding so well that I couldn't find you.

You're the CEO of Korea's top entertainment agency.

Tracking someone down should be a piece of cake for you, right?

How am I supposed to find someone who's gone into hiding on purpose?

Do you think I'm a cop?

I see. She went into hiding on purpose.

Why?

Did Ms. Bong have a reason to hide?

Goodness. What do you want from me?

You said you wanted to meet me.

Let me hear you out.

Why did you want to meet me again after all this time?

Is this guy really your manager?

I know. I look like an actor, don't I?

We agreed to work together...

as soon as I got my first role back in the scene.

Oh, come on.

You shouldn't rush into signing a contract.

You trust people too easily. I've always told you to be careful.

I know.

I trust people way too easily,

which is why I totally trusted you too.

What does that mean?

That said,

what really happened?

Tae Sook told me.

On the day of the awards ceremony 25 years ago,

you told Tae Sook and Sun Young that you were throwing...

a surprise party for me, so they weren't in the van.

That's why I was alone in the van when the accident happened.

Why are you asking about it now?

Don't tell me...

You don't remember?

It's not that I don't remember what happened.

We just want to check.

Some say...

the accident might have been planned.

"Planned?"

That's right.

My goodness.

Chung Ja, how much longer are you going to dwell on your past?

You've made a comeback, and things are looking up for you.

So you should focus on your future.

Answer my question.

What were you doing when the accident happened?

That day?

I already told you everything.

You told me?

- When? - What?

The day you woke up in the hospital.

I came running to see you. Don't you remember?

My gosh. That really hurts my feelings.

(Patient Chart, Bong Chung Ja)

She lost her memory?

Oh, my.

Three to four months after the accident,

she miraculously woke up, right?

Is that right?

I don't really remember as it was too long ago.

I know. Too much time has passed.

Let me.

Thanks for the meal.

Who would've thought you'd buy me such an expensive meal?

I never thought I'd live to see this day.

You should live a long and happy life, with me.

Did you mean it when you said I could ask you for help anytime?

We, at 2ONE Entertainment, are ready...

to do whatever it takes to help you.

Now, hop in.

Mr. Manager, can I get your business card?

Pardon?

Oh, right.

I came in such a rush that I forgot to bring my business card.

Come on. An actress' manager should always have business cards on them.

How is this any different from a cop...

going after a suspect without his gun?

You're right.

Well, then... One moment.

Then give me your number. I'll text you.

- Here. - Thanks.

- I'll be in touch. - Sounds good.

- Bye, Chung Ja. - Yes, bye.

Hey, you should get a new car.

- Goodness. - All right.

Bye!

Look into the number I just texted you.

What exactly am I looking for?

Your grave site?

My apologies, sir.

By the way, what happened?

Did you get a new phone?

I always carry a second phone, just in case.

One that can't be traced.

I knew it.

You said you used to be a detective.

No wonder you're incredibly thorough.

I give you that.

Anyway, what's that?

It's nothing.

Is it a gift?

- Hey! - Hey.

A gift? What are you talking about?

There was too much left, so I had some packed to go.

That'll be my dinner.

Where's mine?

What are you saying?

Anyway, I thought you came to check something with Mr. Kang.

I couldn't because he told a blatant lie.

He lied?

How do you know he lied?

He might have forgotten,

but that day 25 years ago feels like yesterday to me,

so I remember everything vividly.

On the day of the awards ceremony 25 years ago...

What were you doing when the accident happened?

That day?

Whenever he's about to say something difficult,

he licks his lips and talks with an accent.

I already told you everything.

The day you woke up in the hospital.

I was the first one to come running to see you.

You don't remember?

My gosh. That really hurts my feelings.

So I knew he was lying.

Also...

Just this once.

Could you do it just this once?

It'll be the end of everything, including Director Choi's movie.

Never mind. It's nothing.

By the way, why did you tell him you were my manager earlier?

I couldn't think of anything else.

You said you'd never be my manager even if I begged.

The world you want to return to.

I'm certain the culprit is part of it.

You're never safe until the culprit is caught.

So, you did it because you were worried about me?

Are you going to go undercover...

to stay by my side?

Are we filming a drama or something? Cut the nonsense.

Oh, right. How did you know that?

That Lim Se Ra woke up 3 to 4 months after the accident.

None of the articles I've read mentioned it.

Well, in TV dramas,

people miraculously wake up after 3 to 4 months.

Go on in. I'm off.

Hey, wait!

This is for you.

You.

What is your relationship with her?

("Love Is Not a Crime")

He used to only watch "Jewelry Store Girl" over and over again.

I don't know what got into him,

but now he's hooked on that new drama.

Oh, right.

Your sister paid off all the overdue invoices.

My sister?

What was her name?

Yes, Ms. Bong Chung Ja.

She came by the other day.

She didn't tell you?

Dad.

I'll be back to see you next month.

- Okay? - What?

Who are you?

I heard Se Ra was here.

Se Ra? Se Ra is here now?

- Goodness. - Gosh, please sit down.

You don't even have strength in your legs.

Where is Se Ra?

Let me see her. Please?

Dad, do you only have one daughter?

I was the one who stood by your side for 20 years,

yet you never once recognized me.

How could you only remember Se Ra's name?

- Dad. - What?

Starting in my senior year of high school,

I had to take care of you in prison, so I gave up college.

I was also the one who sat by your sickbed and looked after you.

It was never Se Ra!

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

I'm sorry.

Sorry. Forgive me.

Please forgive me.

I'm sorry, Dad.

- What's wrong with me? - My goodness.

I'm sorry.

- I'll be going, then. - Se Ra...

Se Ra.

Se Ra...

Here's the revised script.

They revised it again?

Thank you.

What is this? What's wrong with this script?

My gosh!

I got way more lines this time!

- Hey. - Oh, my.

Hey, you!

Did you bribe the writer or something?

What absurd nonsense are you barking about now?

"Absurd nonsense?"

I mean, it seems that way.

Until last week,

you were just a housekeeper with 2 or 3 scenes per episode.

Now, you have so many lines. How does that make sense?

I guess you're jealous because I have more scenes than you.

Why, you...

Know your place, all right?

In this business, when a newcomer acts up and pushes out an old-timer,

it usually ends badly for the newcomer.

Why don't you just pray for my downfall?

As if you could fall any lower.

The one and only Lim Se Ra...

is in this mess now...

Watch what you say.

I'm Bong Chung Ja. Ms. Bong.

Excuse me.

That is your role in this household.

A housekeeper preparing kkakdugi.

If you keep acting up,

people will find out who you really are, so watch out.

Don't tell me...

you're delusional enough to think...

you're the madam's only man.

What do you mean?

The child in her womb. Who do you think...

the father is?

The child's not mine?

Answer me. Hurry up and tell me!

Let go. I told you to let go!

Let go of me!

Oh, gosh.

Sorry.

I lost control of my strength.

Sorry about that.

("Love Is Not a Crime")

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

- Oh, my. - She's so cool.

That was cool.

- Oh, she used this radish. - Yes!

- This was it. - She hit him in the face with it.

Look at this. Oh, my.

- Awesome! - That's how it's done.

This is that very radish.

Look how fresh it is.

If you want that refreshing crunch when you bite into it,

you need to buy radishes this fresh.

Make sure you don't miss out on this today.

- Nice. - Cheese!

- Where am I supposed to look? - Where?

You look even prettier...

- now that you appear on TV. - I know, right?

Why didn't you tell us you were an actress?

Actress? Oh, please. It's just a minor role.

You're in a daily drama.

If that doesn't make you an actress, what does?

- You're a top star! - Oh, stop.

- Yes, totally. - I'm a big fan.

Please keep watching and supporting my show.

- Of course! - We watch it every single day.

Don't forget us.

Of course, I won't. How could I ever forget you?

- How sweet. - Can I get another autograph?

- It's for my son. - Sure thing.

- Hi. - Da Hee.

Are you leaving this job?

Yes. It just so happened.

You must've been embarrassed because of me.

Do you have something to tell me?

The thing is...

I have to submit something to school. Can you sign this?

You want me to sign it?

- Why? You should tell your mom. - No.

Mom's busy with her shop.

I barely see her when I get home from the academy.

You can't do it?

It's your report card, isn't it?

I'm guessing you bombed your exam.

All right. Hand it over.

My goodness. So many people want my signature today.

You have to study, okay?

Thanks for this.

Wait.

I was struggling myself,

so I couldn't even give my niece any pocket money.

It's fine.

From now on, I'm going to work hard...

so I can repay your mom for everything...

and also cover your grandpa's hospital bills.

So you just study hard, Da Hee.

Okay?

Promise.

- Don't do this again. - Okay.

You can go.

Which one would be good?

- Well... - Should I try with this?

Yes, let's try.

You jerk!

- This isn't it, right? - I don't love the look of that.

This looks like a radish, right? What would be good?

- A green onion smack in the face? - A green onion smack in the face?

It might be better to use kudzu root.

How about trying a different category of items?

A different category? Like what?

You could use some kind of living creature.

- A live small octopus? - A live small octopus?

I'll throw the octopus like this.

Then it'll stick to his face and won't come off.

- Something like that? - Yes, that's it.

Spoon worms! How about spoon worms?

She's totally lost it.

That will really hurt, right?

Blue crab is a good idea.

(Dawon Motel)

(Seodong Police Station, Traffic Department, Sergeant Dokgo Cheol)

Here.

If you happen to find him, do call me.

(Seodong Police Station, Traffic Department, Sergeant Dokgo Cheol)

- Sir. - What?

How long has that detective been following us?

It's been about 15 days.

He's the same guy from before, right?

Yes.

We're ready.

(Dawon Motel)

Because you were taking your sweet time, I got cold feet.

I even thought you weren't coming.

I was surprised you called asking for the final payment,

especially since you failed to do your job.

I did everything I possibly could.

I risked my life to cause that accident.

How was I supposed to know that the old lady would survive?

Is it the full amount?

It seems like you don't have much to carry.

Your body alone should be enough, yes?

What do you mean?

I've got you a boat that leaves tomorrow night.

Pack your things and go.

Go where? Abroad?

Are you serious? This isn't what we agreed on.

One annoying guy has latched on.

Honestly, isn't this better than prison?

Aren't you on probation right now?

Sweetheart.

If I go to jail, do you think I'd go alone?

Funny, is it?

If you don't, then what?

Let go.

It's too little money for me to leave.

Five times.

No. Pay me ten times more.

Then I'll leave this country quietly.

- Fine. - Really?

In return, you must do your job properly. Got it?

Of course.

Wait. Are you telling me to try and kill her again?

- It's tenfold. - Fifteen...

Okay.

Maybe the driver at fault has already fled overseas.

- I doubt it. - Didn't he go into hiding?

His house was empty, and so was his credit card bill.

If he planned it out, he must have left by now.

He'll surely leave soon.

But after the payment is complete.

You sound like you know where he is.

Was there an urgent reason to lie low?

- Could it be for an alibi? - What kind of nonsense is this?

Good grief.

Good. Make sure to stay out of sight, okay?

I'll come pick you up soon.

- Chung Ja. - Yes?

Thanks to you, our drama got a sponsorship.

Really?

Oh, my gosh.

What is it?

Ta-da. Use this to hit him.

Since the next scene is a fight while cleaning the bathroom,

- bring out its power. - Got it. I'll give it my all.

("Love Is Not a Crime")

What should I do to make it look fun?

Your head!

Director, I can't do it.

What's the problem?

Remember my molar that almost came out from last week's beating?

It's still not fully healed.

- Is that so? - Yes.

We can use your other cheek.

- The right side is fine, yes? - My right?

- Right? - Yes.

Stop it, will you?

We're just acting.

You want to quit halfway? Why?

Watch this. The editing is completely ruthless.

What is it?

(Mini Play)

(Gu Nam Ju's ordeal, Bong Chung Ja's plunger,)

(Soap opera chemistry, "Love Is Not a Crime")

Seriously? This is hilarious.

I just can't.

(Mini Play)

Did you just hit the like button? Have you lost it?

It's all thanks to Se Ra that you ended up as a meme.

But look. You're a trending video now.

Your dear husband got whacked with a radish and a plunger.

But what? Thanks to whom?

Be honest with me. Whose side are you on?

Don't ask the obvious.

Of course, I'm on Se Ra's side.

Oh, my gosh. Honey.

How about...

inviting Chung Ja as a panelist on our home shopping show?

- What? - We should ride Chung Ja's trend...

while she's blowing up.

Yes. Hold on.

Chung Ja? It's me.

What was with the radish slap? It was so funny.

I'm inviting you as a panelist for our home shopping show.

Please come. Home shopping, let's go!

Let's do it!

Minnat Shop's blush.

This turns an ugly face...

What do you think? He's glowing.

He looks totally different.

("Bong Chung Ja Conquers Home Shopping with Gu Nam Ju")

Is this real?

How can a product that's been sitting on home shopping...

completely sell out in a day?

Didn't you know?

The actors with crazy chemistry in the daily drama made a huge hit.

What daily drama?

Their ridiculous vibes went viral and got tons of views...

on social media and YouTube Shorts.

Here. Minnat Shop's blush.

This turns an ugly face...

- Let's see. - into a youthful,

bright, and lively one.

Take a look. Before and after. Clear difference, yes?

Here.

Hey.

Not bad.

I don't mind.

Blush.

(Joa Home and Shopping, First Reveal of This Set)

She's still got it.

Despite being old, she managed to go viral.

I'm impressed.

Come in.

I looked up the phone number for Bong Chung Ja's manager.

It's a burner phone, so I can't identify them.

A manager using a burner phone?

Maybe he is an ex-convict.

- Or someone with bad credit? - Forget it. Lim Se Ra.

No.

Which drama was Actress Bong Chung Ja in again?

Who sent it?

(2ONE Entertainment is rooting for Actress Bong Chung Ja!)

This is wild.

So you already signed with a major agency.

- No, I didn't. - Congratulations.

Being with 2ONE Entertainment would be huge.

Thanks for the coffee.

Please pass it along to the CEO.

- Okay. - Thanks for the treat.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Gosh. She got into a great agency.

Kang Du Won. What is he up to?

What's all of this?

Obviously, it's my love for you.

Stop joking around.

Come now. I can afford to throw...

a celebration for your comeback.

But you don't spend money for no reason.

Gosh.

You know me so well.

And that means I know you too.

What's that about?

You need money, don't you?

This time, let's meet alone. Just the two of us.

Fine.

I've got something to confirm too.

So let's meet. Just you and me.

Okay.

Is this everything? Isn't there more?

No, those are everything.

I told you to bring everything and not pick and choose for yourself.

But those are all of them.

Why am I getting fewer scripts after Cannes International Film Festival?

Perhaps people are hesitant to send you scripts...

because you're top class.

Hey. As if I'd just act in anything.

I don't want anything childish.

You know. I want something sophisticated.

Better yet, a genre piece with a killer character.

I'm no ordinary actress now. Let's be picky.

Now would be the perfect time for a streaming project.

You.

Check if there's a fixed streaming platform lineup that I can take on.

"Streaming platform?"

There must be plenty of scripts...

they didn't dare to send me, scared I might reject them.

Anything that's already fixed probably has all the casting done.

Don't you realize who I am?

I'm Go Hui Yeong.

Go Hui Yeong, Queen of Cannes.

No matter who it is, I'll take the role from them.

So go secure one right now!

Yes, ma'am.

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

I heard you visited Dad.

I did.

So you covered all the overdue hospital bills.

Why didn't you tell me?

From now on, I'll be paying for everything,

from Dad's nursing home to Da Hee's lessons.

Has your memory come back?

Not yet.

But it should return soon.

Take it with you.

You love kimchi dumplings.

Thanks.

Will you still be appearing in that drama?

Of course. I'll be going to auditions as well.

(Beef bone broth for dumpling soup for sale)

(Reissued Overdue Notice)

I heard from Tae Sook.

Things were rough...

after my accident, right?

Especially since Dad was away and you were all alone and so young.

That's all behind us now.

Sure, it was hard for me.

But Dad, your biggest supporter, had it worse.

He even visited the hospital to see you.

Dad came?

But wasn't he...

wanted back then?

The moment Dad saw you on the news,

he came rushing out of hiding.

Goodness.

Let me see my daughter just once!

I really am Lim Se Ra's dad!

Once I get locked up, who knows...

All the police cared about was arresting him.

But Dad kept begging them to let him see you just once.

He may have caused you trouble,

but the one Dad held onto until the very end was you.

Thanks to that detective,

Dad was able to see you before going to jail.

What detective?

You know, the detective with a dialect.

I think he was from Busan or something.

Do you know his name?

That was years ago.

I do recall his name being unique.

He was the youngest detective 25 years ago.

He was tall...

with shaggy hair and thick eyebrows.

I don't know his name.

Right. It was such a long time ago.

Okay. Thank you.

What was that?

What? Who was it?

(Busan Bunam Police Station)

I don't know.

"The youngest detective 25 years ago?"

Cheol. Wasn't she looking for Dokgo Cheol?

Who is this Dokgo Cheol?

There was this guy who had moved to Seoul a while back.

It's not easy to transfer from Busan to Seoul.

But he did the impossible.

That guy had such determination.

He had someone to meet. I wonder if he actually did.

Don't you see the traffic?

Hurry up and move.

Come on.

(Real-time GPS tracking)

What's this?

Where is he suddenly heading to?

(Real-time GPS tracking)

Darn it.

- Officer Lee. - Yes.

I'm going back first. Finish things up here.

Understood.

(Real-time GPS tracking)

What?

(Jumbo Gosiwon)

This crazy punk.

(Bong Dumpling Shop)

(Jumbo Gosiwon)

(Bong Chung Ja)

The phone is turned off.

Please leave a message after the tone.

Why does the battery run out so fast?

I'm starving. I have no energy.

(Poisoned)

This is Jumbo Gosiwon.

Ms. Bong...

She just left.

(Reception)

I don't know. Maybe she left her phone behind.

Seriously?

Ms. Bong Chung Ja

Do you know me?

So you don't remember me?

We promised to meet that day.

I did?

When?

Don't you remember?

Not really.

The settlement money.

I was going to pay you the settlement.

Her tenacious life

I will end it

She's hanging on far too long

I will end it

(Real-time GPS tracking)

Gosh.

Ma'am, we're here. Wake up.

Ma'am.

Wake up. Ma'am?

Wait. Is this for real?

How do I...

Let's give it a shot.

Okay.

You can do it. In 1, 2, 3.

Seriously.

Darn it.

She's so heavy.

If only I had done this earlier.

Good grief. The bag.

Unbelievable. You little...

Even if your hands are tied with tape or cable ties,

if you raise both arms and strike down hard...

toward your body, most bindings will come undone.

Push them backward. Toward your back.

Perfect

Let's cut this and that

Yes?

I told you not to worry.

Everything will be finished before you get there.

Exactly. Just get the money right.

Tenfold, okay?

Got it.

Okay.

Let's cut

Where did she go?

Darn it. This is bad.

Where did she go?

Hey.

Hi.

Come here!

It hurts.

It hurts.

Nice shot.

Hey.

Don't come near me.

Don't you dare.

I might not look like a threat to you.

But I learned all kinds of combat skills...

while training at an action school back in the day.

Don't come near me.

My gosh.

Darn it.

Are you all right?

What are you going to do with it?

Get out of my way, you jerk.

You know the drill since you've been down this road.

You can refuse to answer questions that could be used against you.

You have the right to an attorney and so on.

I'll spare you the details. Okay?

Hey! You jerk.

- You little... - Hey!

What?

- You... - Stop that.

- Come on. - Darn it.

Are you okay?

How did you find me here?

I kept an eye on him just in case.

You're not hurt, right?

- Oh, no. You're bleeding. - What?

No!

You jerk!

- Come on. - That hurts.

Hold on.

Come on. Hear me out.

Listen. Yes, I did abduct her.

But I was the one who got beaten up.

Seriously. You hit me! Didn't you?

- Get in already. - I can't when the door is closed!

Darn it. I should have torn you up into pieces when I had the chance.

You can make a statement tomorrow at the station. I'll come with you.

He won't be released again, right?

He's already on probation from a previous assault charge.

He committed an abduction, assaulted with a weapon,

and even attempted murder while on probation.

He'll be detained while his case gets processed.

Don't worry.

Why did he try to kill me?

You've got our support.

Good luck!

- Go, Chung Ja! - Good luck!

- Bong Chung Ja is the best! - Bong Chung Ja!

- You're the best. - Thanks for this.

Thank you!

(Seminar for New Recruits)

They sent a coffee truck to this woman?

Darn.

It's me.

The agency sent a coffee truck to the shoot of a daily drama.

Find out who ordered it.

Oh, that. I think the CEO personally sent the coffee truck.

It came from Mr. Kang himself?

And this is top secret.

The CEO is planning to sign the actress, Bong Chung Ja.

That crazy fool.

Find out where he is right now.

That jerk.

You knew about her, but kept it a secret, didn't you?

Bong Chung Ja.

She's Lim Se Ra, right?

You figured it out faster than I thought.

I thought Hui Yeong would be the first to figure out.

No way. She doesn't know about this yet?

Knowing her temper, she wouldn't have let it slide if she did.

I think I recently saw someone we know.

Has it been 25 years?

Since Lim Se Ra's disappearance.

I have no interest in going to the Good Place after I die.

I'm going to get there...

while I'm breathing.

Okay. She's good.

Acting-wise, she's as good as Lim Se Ra.

It's just that she's not as popular.

She's as attractive as Lim Se Ra.

Come on. You can't say that.

Lim Se Ra was the top actress for a reason.

She had her own presence and aura.

Don't you agree, Director Choi?

Well,

you're aware that Lim Se Ra was supposed to take this role, right?

Yes, I'm aware.

Go Hui Yeong,

in what way do you think you're better than Lim Se Ra?

It's my desperation.

I can't speak for how she planned to approach this character.

But I can say I'm more desperate than her.

I don't mind if I get paid less than her.

I'm willing to do all the scenes she refused.

Are you willing to do anything you're asked to do off-camera?

The truth is...

Even if Lim Se Ra hadn't been in an accident,

it would've fallen through. Do you want to know why?

She failed to do the most important thing,

which was to meet the investor's needs.

You know that you were just filling in for Se Ra.

But what if Se Ra returns?

That ought to be quite interesting, right?

Kang Du Won.

He knew everything all along.

He did this on purpose while knowing everything.

How far are we?

I'm sorry.

I'm trying to get there as fast as possible.

Are you sure he's at the agency?

Yes, I had it confirmed.

Rest up then. I'll get going.

You're just leaving?

Well, I should get going. What could I do?

Come on in.

My gosh. What...

What are you doing?

- Take it off. - What?

Take what off?

My goodness. What are you doing?

What did you think I was doing? We need to treat your wound.

There's no need to make a big deal out of it. I'm fine.

Should I drag you to the hospital?

- Gosh. - Sit down now.

Come on.

Take it off now.

I told you I was fine.

- My gosh. - Let me see.

- It's a small scratch. - Oh, no.

This needs to be disinfected first.

Gosh, you don't need to do that.

I'm sorry.

Why?

You got hurt because of me.

Forget about it.

I could've floored him with a punch if it'd happened in my prime.

My goodness.

Besides, I got hurt because I got rusty. It's not your fault.

- That stings! - Oh, no.

So you should always keep your phone with you.

I'll make sure to bring it everywhere I go from now on.

And I'll charge it regularly.

Exactly. Make sure to carry it. Don't scare me like that.

Were you scared for me?

Well, it's only natural.

I couldn't reach you,

but that lunatic was hanging around you.

I really thought something had happened to you.

What if it did?

If it did, it wouldn't have been good for me.

Well...

You're the victim of the case I'm in charge of.

You know.

Is that the only reason?

Then what else...

Actually,

it's about what I wanted to tell you the other day.

Does it...

have to do with what happened today?

I think so.

I'm asking you why you didn't tell me...

Bong Chung Ja was Lim Se Ra!

So everyone knew.

But I was the only one who didn't know like a fool.

Hui Yeong.

As soon as I confirmed it,

I was going to tell you right...

What are you plotting?

Why are you getting Lim Se Ra involved?

Get her involved?

I know everything.

I heard 2ONE Entertainment was planning to recruit her.

Hey, you're unbelievable.

My gosh, you must be out of your mind.

This is so ridiculous that I can't even watch.

What's gotten into you guys?

She's not the same Lim Se Ra.

She's a nobody named Bong Chung Ja.

Did you guys barge in here at night...

because you felt threatened by a washed-up has-been?

The mighty Queen of Cannes and Chavely?

I'm not the only one going down...

with Lim Se Ra's return.

It will ruin you too.

Exactly!

You guys need to shut your mouths and watch.

Just watch me destroy Bong Chung Ja. Okay?

Understood?

Seriously.

So this man...

tried to kill me 25 years ago...

and recently tried to kill me again in the car accident?

It's not confirmed, but...

the same man was spotted at both scenes.

It means...

these two car accidents can't be a coincidence.

It's your fault!

This man...

I met with him before my accident a month ago.

Does the memory you remembered recently involve him?

So she's determined to come out of the shadows?

I'll find him.

I'll make him come to me.

He ruined my life as if trying to kill me wasn't enough.

I'll catch him myself no matter what.

He managed to hurt Lim Se Ra, the actress the whole nation knew.

But something like that happens again?

- The next time it does, you... - But now,

I'm not alone like I was before.

(Epilogue)

Which way is to Lim Se Ra's room?

Lim Se Ra?

My gosh.

The celebrity, Lim Se Ra.

I know that she got the surgery here and is staying in this hospital.

What's your relationship to the patient?

Actually,

I'm her father.

Could you show me your ID card?

Let me see my daughter just once!

I really am Lim Se Ra's dad!

Once I get locked up, who knows when I'll be out again.

Please let me see my daughter before I go.

- Just once. - Let's talk at the station.

Hold on a second.

What's going on?

Well...

I'm a detective from Busan Police Station.

- What's this about? - Well...

This is Bong Seok Bong, the one on the wanted list, right?

- Yes, he is. - I'm the detective on his case.

- Let me take him in. - What?

Will you believe me if my team leader talks to you?

(Intensive Care Unit)

I thought we were going to the police station.

You will. But before that, you ought to see your daughter.

So my Se Ra is in there?

Make it quick.

I can't give you a lot of time.

- Thank you, Detective. - Gosh.

Okay.

Se...

Se Ra.

(Restricted Area)

My daughter is lifelessly lying in the hospital.

And look at me, locked up in prison.

After running the con,

not only did you run away, but you also went into hiding.

Did you not think you would get arrested for it?

Se Ra needs to wake up soon.

That way, she can get me out of here.

My goodness.

Detective.

Were you able to reach my second daughter?

Why do you ask?

It's getting cold.

Can you ask her to send me some commissary money?

She's only in high school. How could you ask her for money?

I need to get by here too.

My goodness.

(Commissary Amount: 300 dollars)

(Name: Lim Se Ra, Relation: Daughter)

(Request for Commissary Deposit)

(My Troublesome Star)

You're certain Lim Se Ra will come back in this, right?

The second heyday of Lim Se Ra.

Let's make it happen together.

I should give you a present for signing with the agency.

How did you manage to hold back...

for decades when you wanted to go on a power trip?

You only have yourself to blame...

for how things turned out for you.

I finally found the connection between 2ONE Entertainment...

and Ju Seung Pil after all these years.

I'm not going to run away from it. I'll face it head-on.

I'm not alone like I was before.
