Director.

I think I saw his face.

That boy.

I was crying.

And he comforted me.

Jerk...

Jerk...

Hello.

What's this?

A contract for me to ghostwrite your book.

I don't understand how you
could not know about this.

I don't understand either.

I was never told anything about
a book being written by a ghostwriter.

I don't even understand
this contract.

I don't know much about contracts.

Well, I have no desire
to publish a book.

Ms. Lee Ma Ri.

I came here to write a book.

People will find it strange
if I wrote a book.

It wouldn't really fit my image.

I don't know why Mr. Seo did such a thing.

You should still think about it.
The topic is pretty good.

I'm sure it is.

Kim Chul Soo.

I'm sure there's a good reason
why you're doing this.

But I really don't want anything published.

I didn't want to do this either.

And I especially don't want to write
a book that you don't want written.

But because of this contract, I put aside all
my responsibilities for a month and came here.

That may not be a big deal
to you, but it is to me.

But now you're telling me
you didn't know about it.

So am I just supposed
to say 'okay' and leave?

Don't you think it'd be more considerate
if you at least called Mr. Seo and checked?

Ms. Lee Ma Ri!
Ms. Lee Ma Ri!

I see.

Still, I don't want to fool my fans and claim
I wrote a book I know nothing about.

All right.

Does that mean you won't write the book?

It means I have nothing more to say.

If that's what you think, then it's
only right that I don't write it.

But if you're in a desperate situation,
I'm willing to hear you out.

No thank you.

Did I hurt your pride?

I don't have any pride.

If I did, I wouldn't have
come here to ghostwrite.

Thank you for your explanation.

I'll call Mr. Seo and
return to Korea tomorrow.

So don't worry.

Oh, Mr. Seo.

I'll talk to Mr. Seo.

- Okay.
- Goodbye.

Can you close the door?

For your breakfast--

I'll just have some coffee and an apple.

Hello? Oh, Ms. Ma Ri?

No, she's not here.

Mr. Seo, Ma Ri should be okay, right?

I'm so worried.

If you're so worried, go find her
and bring her here right now!

Everyone, leave.

Get out!

Now I can't pay her back.

What do I do about Eun Young?

- Hello?
- Chul Soo?

Oh... Hey, Yoo Ri.

Byung Joon's here too.

Everyone here is all wondering
about you. Are you doing okay?

Ask him why he didn't call.

I wasn't wondering about him.
Just tell him to make lots of money.

Okay, hold on.

- Have you eaten?
- Are you doing okay?

Have you met with Eun Young?
I miss you!

Are you doing a good job over there?
Why didn't you call?

Oh, something came up, so I...

Something came up here, too.

Something big happened to Lee Ma Ri.

What happened to Lee Ma Ri?

Lee Ma Ri is missing!

What's so important about
an actress who's gone missing?

I was at the Korea International
Film Awards yesterday.

But she didn't show up!

Her agency claims she got sick.

But according to a credible source

Lee Ma Ri has disappeared,
and the whole agency is in chaos.

Which guy did she run off with?

Oh, be quiet!

Her agency doesn't know where she--

There are a lot of rumors, too.
I wonder where she went?

Hold on.

What are you doing?

Um...

Where are you going?

I need to go somewhere.

I need to see someone
before I leave.

Do you know how to drive?

- I've never driven a car like that.
- Okay then.

What if I drive?

Welcome.

Let's go grab something
to eat and talk.

What was that call about?

It was my friend.

What does he do?

He's an internet news reporter.

Who does he work for?

- This one.
- Yes, ma'am.

- He's handsome.
- Very.

- You look beautiful!
- You look very good in black.

I'll be outside.

- Who is he?
- He's tall and handsome.

- Are you okay?
- I'm okay.

Enjoy your meal.

Thank you.

No problem.

You're done eating?

You should order more
appropriate portions next time.

Leftover food goes
to waste and...

I'll take care of the bill.

Are you going to call Mr. Seo?

Are you going to tell him I'm here?

Why would I do that?

You running away from your
agency is none of my business.

It doesn't even interest me.

So how does ghostwriting work?

Is that your job?

Isn't that a crime?

Let's stop talking about it,
since I've decided not to do it.

Did you tell your
friend about me?

Your reporter friend.

I didn't.

I don't plan to either,
so don't worry about it.

I don't see why
you wouldn't.

When our contract is cancelled,
you'll no longer have any liability

and you'll have nothing to do with me.

So of course you'd tell your friend.
It's happened to me way too many times.

I won't!

How did you decide to
become a ghostwriter?

For money.

I borrowed money from someone
I'd hate to be indebted to.

Are you happy now?

What are you getting at here?

- Just go ahead and write the book.
- What?

Write the book.

You said you need money.
I'd feel safer that way too.

If we're partners in a crime, at least
you'll probably keep it a secret.

I'd hate for you to blab on the internet
that you almost ghostwrote a book for me.

You're really something else.

That's right, I need money.
That's why I came here to ghostwrite.

But I was taken aback when you said
you didn't want a ghostwriter.

But at the same time, I thought
Lee Ma Ri might be a decent person.

I thought I had misunderstood
you as an airheaded actress

who wanted to improve her
image through a ghostwriter.

I thought you were actually
considerate of your fans and the public.

But you're really...

Forget it.

Haven't you read the contract?

What?

The penalty for breaking the contract
is three times the signing bonus.

Mr. Seo will never let you get
away with not paying that.

- So I was graciously helping you--
- What did you say?

Man...

Hey!

Hey.

Hey! Stop right there!

People are watching.
What if they recognize me?

I can't be going around by myself!

Why the heck do I need
to accompany you?

I'm sorry.

I didn't tell anyone
I was coming here.

So I meant to ask you to
not tell Mr. Seo about me.

I'm just not good with words.

If you won't tell him,
then I'm happy with that.

I won't tell him.

Are you going back home?

I...

Can you go with me
to one more place?

I need to go somewhere.

But I can't find this
place on my own.

It's here.

I want to find this place.

Can you go with me?

Go straight and
it's on your right.

It should be somewhere around here.

Make a right.

Oh, it's here.

Excuse me... can I ask you something?
It's about an address.

She said this is the right address.

'Itabuki Palace Grounds.'

'This is the place where the Baekje
people once built a palace.'

I thought I was never
going to find this place.

Who the heck sent you
a letter from this place?

A missing person.

This is a good place to reminisce
about a missing person.

I came here before to
take pictures with someone.

A missing person?

My first love.

No more questions.

I won't tell you any more.

Then I'll wait in the car.

Wait.

Can you buy me
vanilla ice cream?

Vanilla ice cream?

Yeah, vanilla ice cream.

Right now?

In this cold weather?

Come on, please?
I want some.

Excuse me.
Do you have vanilla ice cream?

Right here.

- Here?
- Yes, in here.

There's no vanilla.

Hurry back!

If I buy you vanilla ice cream,
you have to marry me!

Here, I bought some.

You asked me to
buy you ice cream.

You really bought it for me?

Actually, they didn't have
plain vanilla ice cream.

I personally wanted
to buy just one...

but I didn't know
what you'd like.

Next time, you should
give me an example.

It's a lot, but we can
try to finish these.

Aren't you going
to have some?

They'll melt.

- How much?
- 500 yen.

Thank you.

Do you want some?

That's why you shouldn't have
eaten all that ice cream by yourself.

Then was I supposed
to throw them away?

I'll pass.

Didn't you say you
had to go somewhere?

It's already too late.

Who was it that you had
to see before you leave?

The person I owe money to.

The person you'd most
hate to be indebted to.

Do you like these
kinds of questions?

Like, if you had to go into a jungle,
what animal would you take?

Psychological tests.

If you had to go into a jungle--

I don't like lions, monkeys,
horses, or sheep.

I don't like roses either.

You saw the talk show I was on?

Yes.

I guess you were
interested in me.

How was I?

Childish.

You really believe that roses
can distinguish true love?

And that a person's preference for a certain
animal reveals their personal values?

What if I do?

The reason people make up
these psychological tests

and believe in fate is
because they're afraid.

They don't want to admit
that they're alone.

So they believe that there's a
predestined person for them

and comfort themselves.

That's why even after the
person they love leaves

they continue to wait for that one person
who will always stay by their side.

Oh, I was...

Look, Miss Ma Ri...

It's Lee Ma Ri!

I'm sorry.

Miss Ma Ri!

Miss Ma Ri!

Miss Ma Ri!

Over there!
Miss Ma Ri!

I'm sorry.

Why did you have to
take off my scarf?

What if people recognized me?

What if they took my picture?

Lee Ma Ri.

Lee Ma Ri!

Why are you making a fuss over
something that's not a big deal?

Even if they took a picture, there's
nothing going on between us.

It's because they make
things up out of nothing.

They'll just gossip for
a bit and get over it.

- What do you know about me?
- Nothing.

But I do know that
you're complicated.

Why don't you just relax?

How could you meet
anyone like this?

You're right.

That's why they all leave me.

What I meant was...

If there are things you can't
avoid as a celebrity

just accept them and relax.

For a ghostwriter, you're
pretty good at lecturing others.

Let's drop this.
I'm going upstairs.

Why? Go ahead and finish
what you were saying.

If you're always so complicated,
no one will stay by your side.

If you really want a
sincere relationship...

It's okay.

I don't need sincerity.

I'm an actress.
I can fake all those things.

Laughing, crying...
I can even fake happiness.

Fake love, fake breakup...
I can fake anything!

Should I prove it?

Mr. Seo.
I'll find it for you. It's bad.

Who's the guy?

[Lee Ma Ri on a secret date in Japan]

[Lee Ma Ri's new man]

[Where can we get
this paper bag?]

We're eating together?

Miss Ma Ri wishes to eat
in the dining room today.

She usually has her
breakfast in her room.

So this is unusual.
Well, enjoy your meal.

You can actually digest
rice in the morning?

I need carbs to get
my brain into gear.

It will help you memorize your lines too.

So why don't you have some
rice for breakfast, too?

For us, looks are more
important than brains.

Weight control.

Building muscles.

Did you sleep well?

Did you sleep well?

- About last night...
- Huh?

Yes.

Well, I hope you won't tell anyone
about what happened last night.

Right.

Yesterday was a hard day for me
because of the picture and all.

You might be hoping
for something, but...

Let's just forget about
what happened yesterday.

I think you were sensitive
because of that letter.

And I wasn't on my
best behavior either.

So I concluded that that's why
we started arguing and...

that's why it happened.

It's that easy for you to come
to that kind of conclusion?

Of course, for me, I'm a bit
shocked and offended because

I feel like I was taken lightly.

It's probably easy for you
to do such a thing

since you're a star and your
job is to attract people.

Wait.

Are you saying that I'm easy?

Did I just say that?
I didn't mean it that way.

In any case, I'm a bit shocked.

At myself more than
anything else.

To do that with a woman
I'd just met... so easily...

Of course you'd do it easily,
because that woman was me.

Was that your first kiss?

Let's drop this.

Really?

No! Are you happy now?

Fine.

This is a little cliche, but let's
pretend it never happened.

But...

- You're really going back to Korea?
- My flight is tonight.

You're not going to write the book?

Let's not talk about
that anymore.

But what if what
happened last night...

What if I did it because
I'm interested in you?

You're still going to leave?

Well, are you?

Hello?

Oh hey, Byung Joon.

You're where?

I'm in Japan.

Lee Ma Ri got involved
in a big scandal here.

She's in Japan.

Everyone in Korea, China, and
Japan is going crazy right now.

The rep from Lee Ma Ri's
agency is here, and

there are lots of reporters here, too.

Hey, hold on, Chul Soo.

Hey, don't hang up.

Hello. I'm Jeon Byung Joon
from the Shinhwa Daily.

Hello? Chul Soo?
Yeah.

Yeah. Lee Ma Ri is on a getaway
with a mysterious man

who we're calling
'The Paper Bag Dude.'

- Ma Ri!
- Ma Ri!

What happened?

Surprise.

Why are you all here?

What in the world
is going on?

You've been all over the
internet since last night.

When did you two
become so close?

It's not like that...

What do you mean close?

Who's the one who hired a
ghostwriter without telling me?

- I didn't know this would happen.
- I told you, didn't I?

You know nothing about
what our lives are like.

Now, now.

You guys can fight later.

The reporters will be
here in ten minutes.

We'll talk later
and prepare first.

- Eun Shil.
- Yes?

She hates articles
about her scandals.

She's been through so much.

It was my fault.

No, it was my fault.

And it's not good to take
the blame so easily.

Now you've learned how to act
when dating a top celebrity, right?

Dating? We were just--

If it really were serious...

you wouldn't be off
the hook so easily.

How's the book coming along?

That's become very
important to us.

I don't think I can do
the ghostwriting after all.

I've talked it over
with Lee Ma Ri.

I made the wrong decision.

I don't think that's
an option at this point.

I wouldn't know what
to tell the reporters.

The Paper Bag Dude.

The Paper Bag Dude?

Excuse me. I'm Jeon Byung Joon,
a reporter from Korea.

Hello.

Lee Ma Ri is currently
writing a book in Japan.

It's Lee Ma Ri!

Over here! Here!

Miss Lee Ma Ri, over here!

Good, good!

How could you announce that I'm writing
a book without discussing it with me first?

We have no choice, do we?

You look better when you smile.

We wanted to keep it
a surprise, but because

people misunderstood it
as a getaway with a lover...

We needed to gather you all
here to clarify things.

Miss Lee Ma Ri,
please look over here.

It's just a typical travel book.

I'm planning to write a series of books
with the theme 'Asia's Ancient Cities.'

The first book is on
the Nara region here.

It has a lot of ties to our country.

We can say that the first
wave of Korean culture

arrived and influenced the Asuka
culture during the Baekje period.

Perfect.
She got every word.

Can you tell us more about
the idea behind the book?

Let's not talk about
the book anymore.

If we tell you too much,
it might affect the book sales.

Excuse me.

Who is 'The Paper Bag Dude?'

Please explain that first.

I'm sure that's what
everyone's wondering about.

To tell you the truth,
he's a local guide

who's helping her collect
materials on Asuka culture.

And, of course, there are others who've
been helping who weren't in the photo.

Would you like to meet him?

We used a paper bag to
protect his privacy, but

we wouldn't have let you all meet
him if he were really her lover.

Doesn't it look nice?

Thank you for coming.

Did you see that?
She shook my hand first.

Now I can die happy.

This was the best
we could do.

Get some rest before your
fan meeting tonight.

That's the minimum you
can do while you're here.

After all, the reporters are here too.

Don't follow me.

Where are you going?

I ended up having to ghostwrite,
so I'm going to go settle my debt.

Bye now.

But...

Why did you have to do that
and make a fool of yourself?

Why did you come out with
that bag over your head?

- Do you have to do everything you're told?
- Don't yell at me.

I'm still dizzy from all
those flashes going off.

You said you even knew
one of those reporters.

Why do you listen to them
when you don't even listen to me?

I did it for you.

That picture was taken because of me,
so I took responsibility for it.

I'm sorry about what
happened yesterday.

I didn't know you're living in a world
that makes a big deal out of nothing.

Where are you going?

The Osaka University of Art.

The person I borrowed money
from is doing research there.

Well... thanks for...

Well, this is a little cliche, but...

Let's pretend it never happened.

You're not laughing.

Bye.

You can't go out the main gate.

Use the back gate.

I'll go with you.
I'll give you a ride.

I'm making it up to you for dragging you
around with me all day yesterday.

Thanks.

I'm leaving early in the morning.

I have a meeting with my fans,
so I'll be back late.

Then I guess this is it.

Goodbye.

That's it?

Write a good book for me.

I think this is the first time
I've seen you smile like that.

It's nice.

Here.

Excuse me. Where are the dorms?

That way?

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

What am I thinking?

Where am I?

Eun Young, over here!

I'm sorry. My class got out late.

Let's hurry. We have to make it
to the seminar in Sapporo.

Chul Soo...

What are you doing here...

It just happened.

I heard about you
coming to Japan.

Byung Joon told me.

I heard that you came to
work here because of me.

I felt so bad that I couldn't
even contact you.

Eun Young.

- You know, I have to--
- Yes, you seem busy.

I wasn't planning
to stay long anyway.

I just came to pay you back.

Here.

You should go.

Go.

Get in.

Get in.

Take care.

Subtitles by SBS

Are you one of my fans
disguised as a ghostwriter?

Honestly, I've never seen
any of your movies.

A man and a woman who
meet for the first time

hang out at an amusement park
and then kiss... Isn't that too fast?

Have you ever been on a ferris wheel?
Do you want to go on it?

The feeling of flying through the air?

Have you thought about
why I stayed behind?

You want to know?
