Sir.

Hello, sir. Good evening to you.

Please allow me.

Wow, that's a lot of luggage. You must've been gone for a while.

- Yes. - I'll do it.

I've been away for three months, and it sure is warmer here.

It's absolutely scorching. As you'd expect this time of year.

Please leave it.

I guess he's a celebrity.

Sir, take a look. There's a celebrity.

I once drove a celebrity. You know Lee Jung-jae from The Crooks?

- You know him, don't you? - Yes.

His son is a pretty good-looking guy.

He went on about his son becoming a singer or celebrity,

but after seeing Lee Jung-jae, I knew the kid didn't have the face.

Have you ever seen a celebrity in person, sir?

Bet you're wondering which scenes.

I get it. It was a split second.

I'm an unlucky actress who's never seen success.

Wanna bet?

If I win, you have to follow me.

LOTS OF NEW EXPERIENCES ON SET FOR THE QUIET WOMAN!

I guess she's filming a movie.

CHEESE CATS I MET ON THE STREET

She posted my photo without permission?

"Papago."

"Grateful for you."

10,000?

So I made it happen?

This is Papago.

As per the terms of our bet, I followed you.

Sorry for the way I left that day.

Good luck with filming.

I hope your festival begins soon.

Wow, they must be setting off fireworks somewhere.

I guess so.

Maybe there's a festival somewhere.

DO RA-MI, CHA MU-HEE

CAN THIS LOVE BE TRANSLATED?

Hey, easy.

Damn it.

Do Ra-mi!

Please give her a big round of applause.

Please introduce yourself to the audience.

Hello. I am Cha Mu-hee, an actress from Korea.

Mu-hee. You were great out there. Totally awesome!

What's wrong?

Take these off me.

I really need the bathroom,

but I don't think I can pee wearing a ring worth millions.

Then what about your clothes? They're Chanel.

Oh, you're right!

Wow, I can't believe I sat on it.

Mu-hee, you need to get used to this now.

If they're Chanel, you're Do Ra-mi. You can be rough with them.

Yong-u.

Is this all even real?

Why do you say that?

Since waking up from my coma, these past few weeks just don't feel real.

I keep thinking I died back then…

and woke up in heaven.

It's as good as heaven, is it?

I'm so happy I could explode.

I'm so happy that, if it's all a lie, I'd rather die than wake up.

It's real.

You're Do Ra-mi, the superstar.

So go pee with that ring on.

And you should upload a selfie before you get changed, Ms. Do Ra-mi.

Your fans are waiting.

- Okay. - Get some rest.

I have over ten million followers.

I didn't even have 10,000.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

What's the matter? Are you feeling unwell?

No.

I'm fine. All good.

I guess I got a little dizzy from nerves.

I'm home.

Mr. Kim has brought guests again.

Again?

This place is packed to the brim with old books, paintings, and antiques.

Just think of it as a museum.

Wow, this place sure is impressive.

This is amazing.

Very impressive.

He published my first novel, so we were pretty close.

Back when he was alive, this place was like my second home.

Look around. Don't be shy.

Hey, Ho-jin! Come over here.

That's the grandson. His daughter's son. He knows Mandarin, so watch what you say.

Well, hello.

- Say hi. - Nice to meet you.

They're professors from a Taiwanese university.

They'll be here a few days to browse the books.

See? I told you he'd be happy to see us.

I'll take care of everything here, so don't pay us any mind.

- Mr. Kim. - Give me a moment.

Let me show you something really precious.

Mr. Kim?

So now you're planning to use this place as a guesthouse?

You always leave it empty, traveling the world to interpret.

This is the next best thing.

Your maternal grandfather loved hosting guests,

and I often helped look after them.

Well, I own this house now, and I don't like having guests.

Goodness.

While I figured Mr. Yoon

might leave this place to his grandson,

I thought he'd at least leave me these books.

But he had to go and leave them to his daughter.

Your mother couldn't care less about this stuff.

Since you're here, please give my mother a call.

Tell her to please come pick up all these books and things.

How could she when she's abroad?

We can fill a container and ship it to her.

Don't you dare. I'll report you to the Korea Heritage Service

for smuggling priceless cultural artifacts.

Then what do you want from me?

I can't sell the house thanks to all this stuff.

Should I continue living here alone?

That's exactly why I keep bringing guests over,

so you're not so lonely.

In any case, please give my mother a message from me. Okay?

To come to Korea and sell or donate everything before the year ends.

Sure, but your mother will have to come to Korea first.

Hey, I found it!

Here it is.

Then how about getting hitched?

Sorry?

She came back for her father's funeral. Surely she'd come for her son's wedding.

I can't get married on my own.

True.

You'd need a woman.

Are you dating a celebrity, by any chance?

What do you mean?

The publisher's employee who came with us to Japan asked me about it, all excited.

She was wondering if you were traveling with that actress, Do Ra-mi.

She asked if it was you in this picture.

Picture?

This one.

Stand still.

I'm pretty sure it's you.

Out with it.

It's a meaningless photo, and we weren't traveling together.

There's nothing more to it. Please get that out of my face.

So it really isn't you in the photo on Do Ra-mi's Instagram?

I already told you it isn't me.

Even Shunji called me about it from Japan.

He asked, "Are Hojin-san and Do Ra-mi dating?"

"Did they come to Japan together?"

I have never dated Do Ra-mi, nor have we ever gone on a trip together.

Don't tell people stuff like that.

I'm not friends with Do Ra-mi, okay?

Stop laughing, guys.

He's an awful liar.

What are you looking at?

Does this

really look like me?

It's a side profile.

Yeah.

Even the height and build.

Strangers won't know it's you. People who know you will.

It's totally you.

Anyone who knows me will know it's me?

Everyone, the New Year's countdown is about to start!

This year, actress Cha Mu-hee is also here at the midnight bell-ringing ceremony.

Wow, Do Ra-mi's ringing the bell?

Of course. Do Ra-mi's absolutely everywhere these days.

The actress who plays Do Ra-mi is named Cha Mu-hee?

I didn't know.

May all your wishes come true in the new year.

Nine, eight, seven, six,

five, four, three,

two, one!

Lovely.

We're going for glamour and elegance.

Okay.

Mu-hee.

The photos taken today

are for a special edition cover in five Asian countries.

And journalists from Vogue Singapore are here to interview you.

If it's Singapore, would the interview be in English?

I haven't done many foreign press interviews.

Yes, the interview will be in English,

but don't worry, we have an interpreter here.

Thank you.

Hello. Nice to meet you.

"It's nice to meet you like this."

"Are you doing better now, Ms. Cha Mu-hee?"

Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

I'm sorry. I didn't catch that.

"It's nice to meet you."

"Are you doing better now?"

Yes, I'm completely better now.

It's so nice to see you too.

Please tell her that.

I've never been to Singapore before.

I've only seen it in YouTube videos.

It seems like such a beautiful place, and I'd love to go someday.

You posted photos from your Japan trip on Instagram.

Who is the man you're grateful for? Your fans want to know.

Right, that man.

He was just someone I happened to meet who kindly gave me directions.

Just a guy who spoke fluent Japanese.

The hope was for something more romantic.

From your fans.

He was just a guy

whom I happened to cross paths with.

But…

just the thought of a chance encounter

with someone charming while traveling…

is enough to give me butterflies.

Sir.

Right, where is Ms. Cha Mu-hee? I need to talk to her about something.

She asked me to bring you to her. She's in the parking lot. Let's go.

I can say what I need to say here. It won't take long.

Sorry, we're running a little late. You can chat with her on the way there.

No, Yong-u, I… It'd be really quick.

- Mind your head. - Sure.

- Here. - I'll just tell her next time--

Come on, Mr. Joo.

Hop in.

We don't have much time. Get in.

Sorry. I haven't had a chance to eat lunch yet.

Have you eaten yet?

I'm good.

- You should finish your lunch. - No, I'm done.

Is that even enough food? All I see is a salad.

I'm short on time these days, so I eat like this in the van.

Besides, I get puffy if I eat before a shoot.

I had no idea we'd meet again like this.

- I was so surprised to see you earlier. - Sorry if I startled you.

I wanted to meet you, but it wasn't exactly easy.

So I asked a fellow interpreter for a favor.

You took the interpretation gig today on purpose to meet me?

Yes.

Why?

Well, the thing is…

There is something I really need to tell you, Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

We're here.

My next gig was just next door.

It's close, but we have a lot of stuff, so we drove over.

- Then I'll just say it right here. - Sure.

The day we met in Kamakura, Japan,

you--

- Let's go. We're late. - Ms. Cha Mu-hee is here.

Sorry, the interview went long, so I'm running late.

It'll take about two hours.

Would you mind waiting?

- I'm sorry we're so late. Just one moment. - You're 40 minutes late.

- Okay. - I'm so sorry.

I'll wait.

Yes, we'll head right up to the green room.

It's Jun Hyun-moo's talk show. I'll tell my manager, so stay and watch.

- Hello. - Hello.

Mu-hee will enter from there. You can watch from here.

Sure, thanks.

Hello, Producer Yeong-hun.

That day is… Mr. Joo, excuse me.

I don't think that day will work.

Yong-u, where are you?

Yong-u, did you show Mr. Joo Ho-jin in?

Yong--

He's never there when I need him.

Mu-hee, who was that guy in the van with you earlier?

He interpreted your interview, didn't he?

A while ago, I met him briefly in Japan.

When I heard his voice behind me, I thought my heart was going to burst.

No wonder.

I thought you had a funny look on your face earlier.

I thought of him from time to time.

I even thought about seeking him out.

Meeting him like this gave me butterflies.

Maybe work was an excuse, and he actually came to see you.

No way.

He was really good-looking and had a nice voice too.

His eyes creased in a smile, he flashed his dimples,

and was all, "Ms. Cha Mu-hee."

He's so smart and a real gentleman too.

Is that right? What on earth happened between the two of you in Japan?

Seriously, nothing happened.

- Why else would he be here? - I said no!

- Come on, tell me the truth. - Seriously, calm down.

Maybe you should calm down.

Why are your cheeks so flushed?

It's just hot in here.

Your cheeks are on fire.

She woke up to find herself a global superstar.

Today's guest is actress Ms. Cha Mu-hee, better known as Do Ra-mi. Welcome.

- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.

You're in such high demand lately.

Thanks for joining me today.

- Thank you for having me. - Of course.

You became a global sensation overnight.

Does everyone recognize you now?

Not as much as you might expect.

I think people have a hard time recognizing me

because the Do Ra-mi makeup was very dramatic.

Is that so? Maybe you should wear a full face of white powder.

That's interesting though.

I thought lots of people would recognize you, but I see.

And we can't not discuss this.

You suffered a fall during the filming of that movie.

How did that happen?

On the last day of filming, we were shooting the very last scene

when the stunt wire malfunctioned, and I fell.

I was in a coma for about six months,

but to me, it just felt like waking up.

Like coming out of a deep sleep.

But when I woke up, so many things were different

and so much had changed, so…

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Where is Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

The shoot's over now, so I guess she must have left?

She left?

- Ms. Cha Mu-hee? - Let's get out of here.

Sorry to keep you waiting. It must've been boring.

No, it was fun.

I didn't expect so many people on set.

There are even more for dramas and movies.

By the way, is it okay for you to walk around like this?

People don't really recognize Cha Mu-hee yet.

They only recognize me if I say I'm "Do Ra-mi."

Aren't you cold? That coat looks thin.

This is from a new line, not even in stores yet.

They sent it to me specially in advance, so I should wear it, even if I freeze.

Right, marketing.

Like a walking mannequin.

I'll take that as a compliment.

You must be tired.

We should keep it short so you can get home.

Yes, and I'm starving.

Let's go grab some food.

Some food?

That day, I said I'd eat with you, but we never got around to it.

I'll eat with you today to make up for it.

All right. I felt bad for leaving you like that,

so it's on me.

I know a place nearby. The walk will be cold, so wear this.

Thank you.

To welcome our very special guest,

this bottle of wine from Italy, my homeland, is on the house.

No, we're good. We won't be drinking.

We're leaving right after dinner.

But I appreciate the gesture.

If you say so.

- Enjoy your meal. - Thank you.

Are you a lightweight, Mr. Joo?

No, I can hold my liquor.

I wouldn't want to waste your time when you're exhausted.

You can hear me out over dinner.

Right, you said you came to tell me something.

What is it?

You posted photos from your Japan trip on Instagram, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

You saw me post them on Instagram then.

Please delete the photo you posted of me.

Sorry?

The photo mentioned during the interview earlier.

Please delete it.

So you're telling me

you took on that interpreting gig

just to ask me to delete that photo on Instagram?

Yes.

I had no other way of meeting you.

Then why didn't you ask me right after the interview?

I intended to,

but you were too busy.

I thought

this would be a much deeper conversation.

I didn't think you'd come here over a measly photo.

Okay, I'm sorry for coming to see you over a measly photo.

Why would you post a photo of me without my permission?

Your face isn't even in it properly.

You were right there, and that reporter didn't recognize you.

Everyone who knows me can recognize me.

It's led to so many… Where did he go?

…unnecessary misunderstandings.

Delete it in front of me right now.

Fine.

I'll delete it, considering how you came to see me.

But will you be okay?

Okay with what?

Look.

This post has a million likes and 60,000 comments.

If I suddenly delete it now,

those unnecessary misunderstandings would gain meaning.

Did you say you rarely use Instagram?

You don't know the world of social media.

Deleting and unfollowing speak volumes.

Deleted post? A breakup.

People would totally think we were a thing.

Does that mean I'd be the man you dumped after your big break?

You said anyone who knows you can tell it's you.

It'd be embarrassing.

But if you're okay with being the man Do Ra-mi erased--

Hang on. Let me give it some thought.

You can't change the date… you uploaded the post.

Can you?

Are you dumb?

Of course not.

Is it because of the date?

Thanks to the photo you posted, without thinking,

someone could find out I was there that day.

I don't want that.

Is that someone

the woman whose birthday it was?

But you went to see her.

Didn't you meet?

I decided not to.

You ran off like that and changed nothing?

I guess not.

I'm the same person I always was.

What a waste.

You even gave up that fancy meal.

You've changed a lot, Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

I'm glad. It's nice to see.

It seems like you're enjoying a festival of your own, like you said.

Thanks.

In any case, it's your fault we didn't get to eat that meal then,

so you can pay for tonight.

Thanks for dinner.

My van's coming. Do you want a ride?

No, I live close by.

And I prefer to walk when I can.

Good night, then.

Can I have that back? You won't be cold in your van.

I'll be walking, so…

Right.

Did you really come to see me because of that photo?

The photo could have been an excuse.

After my big break, maybe you wanted to say hi

or were curious to see me again. Something like that.

I guess you could think of it that way.

It is a bit tiring, being famous.

Getting calls from childhood friends I don't remember.

Even an old landlady of mine reached out to me out of the blue.

I did wonder about you, though we only crossed paths once.

I get it.

Think it over and tell me what to do about the photo.

Wait, you don't have my contact info, do you?

Would you like my number?

I'll contact you through him.

Please answer my calls. I called and texted multiple times,

but you're unreachable.

Sorry. I have your card, but I never saved your number.

I don't take calls from unknown numbers.

Please save my number and answer.

I'll think about how to handle it and reach out through him.

I'll be going, then.

Goodbye.

You know Mr. Joo?

Yes. He visited you in the hospital.

He visited me in the hospital?

- Yeah. He came two or three times. - When?

When you were in the eight-person room.

I was in an eight-person room?

Wasn't I in a private room in the VIP ward?

Actually, before you blew up as Do Ra-mi, you were in a shared room with eight beds.

After the accident, insurance covered the hospital and caregiver fees,

but the studio and agency argued over who'd be liable if you didn't wake up,

both threatening to sue.

It was a complete mess.

I was planning on quitting myself if you never woke up.

I'd even forgotten about his business card.

Here. Mr. Joo's business card.

How did he know to come?

There were some articles about what happened on set.

He said he'd read one of them.

Despite the coverage,

people lost interest quickly, and there was no follow-up.

I assumed he came because he had no way of knowing if you were still alive.

I figured you two were close.

No.

I'd only met him once before.

I'm glad. It's nice to see.

I did wonder about you, though we only crossed paths once.

Sure, I'll look for it and call you back. Bye.

Where did I put it?

Give it meaning, huh?

The man who got dumped.

Just the thought of a chance encounter with someone charming while traveling

is enough to give me butterflies.

Thank you for coming along and helping me.

Sure.

And thank you too.

They say this talisman reunites the connected.

If you and I are connected, I'm sure we'll meet again someday.

Yeah, I'm almost there.

Come on. Who is this person you want to introduce me to?

Ji-sun!

- Why do you look so nice today? - Do I look okay?

Ho-jin, you're here!

If I save his number, he'll show up on my suggested friends on Instagram.

If I keep digging…

maybe I'll find her.

Find who?

Just some woman whose birthday is on April 8th.

I want to see how amazing this woman is to have a man that smart and capable

wrapped around her finger.

Why? Did that woman run off with Mr. Joo's money?

"Mr. Joo"?

I always address loyal people respectfully.

A sign of admiration.

Then why do you call me Mu-hee and not Ms. Cha?

That's a sign of our closeness.

Speaking of, he texted me.

He wants you to erase it.

- That's all? He didn't say anything else? - No.

Please let Ms. Cha Mu-hee know I've decided I'd rather be erased.

So once I delete it, it's over.

She deleted it.

MR. JOO HO-JIN

Is her condition worse after moving rooms?

I'm worried.

I saw that Ms. Cha was moved to a different room. Is she better now?

Why did he have to be so kind?

Makes him harder to erase.

Shoot, I ended up memorizing his number.

Now I really won't be able to forget.

Hello?

Hello? This is Cha Mu-hee.

Yes, hello.

I called to let you know that I deleted the photo.

Yes, I saw.

So you saw.

That was quick.

The reason I called you is…

I just found out about something I didn't know before.

I thought I should say thank you.

Jackpot! I found her, Mu-hee.

The woman whose birthday is April 8th. Just needed a little Instagram digging.

But she's Producer Shin Ji-sun!

She's famous. You know her, right?

Hey, what…

Mr. Joo Ho-jin, I…

Did you happen to hear that?

You went out of your way to look her up?

I was worried

that you might get the wrong idea and think I'm a psycho stalker,

so I came to meet you in person and explain myself.

Thank you for agreeing to meet with me.

So how'd you find her?

Social media is a place where people publicly leak their personal information,

so it was an easy find through your friends' comments.

You found her by snooping through a total stranger's social network?

That's some curiosity you've got.

Well,

if you put it that way,

it was very nosy of me.

I apologize.

Now you know her name, you must be curious about more.

To be honest, I'm feeling really embarrassed and cold,

so I'd like to promise to stop being curious about her

and hop into that warm van,

but I honestly can't guarantee I won't snoop through her Instagram.

I know I'm being nosy,

but I just want to know.

Whatever.

I'm the one who shared that story with you, a total stranger.

You're not entirely to blame for being curious.

You should go.

But you were also

curious about the well-being of a total stranger.

You wanted to know if I was okay while I lay in that hospital bed.

I was…

so grateful to you for that.

The reason I called earlier

was actually to thank you for worrying about me.

But thanks to my nosiness, I only ended up apologizing.

You should head in.

As for her Instagram account,

I'll try my best not to look at it.

I don't believe you.

I know exactly how obsessed you are with Instagram.

Then what? Should I delete my account right here?

Can you? With ten million followers?

Then tell me the whole story yourself so I don't have to snoop.

And don't ask why I'm so curious about you.

I'd rather not reveal the reason for my curiosity out here in the street.

Let's talk inside.

Let's satisfy your unexplainable curiosity somewhere warm.

You've been curious since you walked in, so I'll explain.

This is my house.

I inherited it from my grandfather.

A place this big--

Let's not go as far as to ask how much it costs or just how big it is.

Why would I ask such shallow questions? This place is clearly fancy.

How warm.

Do you like coffee?

I might shoot a coffee ad soon. Shall I send you some free samples?

No. Once the ad is out, I'll see it and buy some.

Do you have any nieces or nephews?

Young kids are obsessed with Do Ra-mi. I could sign some posters.

I'm afraid I'm an only child.

Right, so you don't have any nieces or nephews.

That's too bad.

I have Do Ra-mi merch too.

- Do your parents not like Do Ra-mi? - Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

I know. I'm blabbing because this is so awkward.

Now that I'm inside, I don't really know what to say.

You said the idea of a chance encounter while traveling gives you butterflies.

I met her while traveling.

On that island where we met?

We promised to meet again, but never managed to,

and I thought that was the end of it until I ran into her again.

As the girlfriend of someone very close to me.

So that woman doesn't know you still have feelings for her?

No, she doesn't. Because I hid them from her.

So if you'd met her again

on that island on her birthday,

everything would've changed, right?

It's a pretty pathetic "what if,"

but perhaps.

Then, Mr. Joo Ho-jin…

if, on that day,

we had had that meal together instead of separating at the train tracks…

might things have changed…

between us too?

The day I met you, I hadn't gone to that island by chance.

Every year since she asked for that island as a birthday gift,

I have gone there every year.

She never found out, and I have no intention of ever letting her find out,

but on that day,

I wanted to let my feelings be.

Just for a day.

That's why you insisted I delete that photo.

To you, that photo

may simply have captured the memories you made while on a trip,

but to me, it's a moment no one can find out about.

So, on that day,

even if we hadn't gone our separate ways and had spent more time together,

nothing would have changed between us.

That is my answer.

Right.

I see.

After digging on Instagram,

I guess I dug up a tearjerker romance movie.

And I'm not cast in it.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee.

Don't be mistaken. I'm not crying. My nose is just running.

Right, your nose.

My nose is running because I came in from the cold. I'm not crying.

- I get it. - Why is my nose running?

Here.

How embarrassing.

Here's a garbage can…

It's okay. I don't want to leave behind this snotty tissue.

And I say this because I don't want to leave any misunderstandings,

but the reason I said all that stuff about curiosity and train tracks

is because I just wanted to check something.

Check? Check what?

What I wanted to know

was whether you perhaps had feelings for me.

I was worried. That's all.

Me?

You know my embarrassing past.

What if you use that to threaten me into going out with you?

It's a legitimate concern.

I am a celebrity.

Well, as you know,

I just made it big, so I can't exactly date or be in a relationship right now.

You understand, right?

Oh, I see.

So you're telling me that I'm the one who should be doing the understanding?

Look.

I will never…

ask you to

go out

with me.

No matter the threat.

And let me also apologize.

If I made you worry by appearing out of nowhere.

I'm sorry.

We will never see each other like this again.

Does that reassure you?

The threat thing…

it just came out, like my runny nose.

They're just meaningless words blurted out of embarrassment.

I'm sorry.

You said there's no embarrassment with someone you'll never see again.

Besides, I told you my secret too.

We each shared a secret, so let's leave it at that. Call it even.

Thanks for letting us call it even.

So,

we'll never see each other again, will we?

All right.

I'll be going.

Take care, Mr. Joo Ho-jin.

I won't ask you out,

but can I still root for you?

Your long-awaited festival has finally begun.

Congratulations.

I'll watch from afar and cheer you on.

Thank you.

An umbrella.

We'll never see each other again, will we?

It's okay.

Once I close my eyes and reopen them,

these feelings will go away too.

The red carpet at the Tokyo International Film Festival

will soon welcome actors and actresses from around the world

who gave incredible performances.

And as we speak,

Cha Mu-hee, who took the world by storm this year as Do Ra-mi in The Quiet Woman,

has arrived on the red carpet.

Mu-hee-chan!

Wake up.

I'll help you.

Let's walk together.

Before the conference begins tomorrow,

there will be a brief meeting for the professors.

Please interpret at that meeting too.

Sure. I'll meet you in the lobby tomorrow morning.

- Thanks for your hard work today. - Good night.

Ms. Cha Mu-hee?

What are you doing here?

What happened?

Mr. Joo Ho-jin, there's something wrong with me.

I think I'm going crazy.

I think…

my festival is about to end.
