I'd be lying...

if I said I never thought about you.

Quite the opposite.

Like an overplayed cassette tape,

I'd replay those moments in my head until they were completely worn out.

Seeing you again,

you instantly took me right back to that time.

As if teasing me.

When I could find nothing...

to refer to in any of the pages.

To that time.

My path wasn't so dark.

Thanks to you.

Team Leader Sung Je Yeon, the next script.

Yes.

It's a historical fantasy romance.

It's pre-produced for streaming,

and it's Director Han Seok Won's first series.

It's based on the folktale, "The Fairy and the Woodcutter."

The main character is a palace seamstress.

She enters an embroidery competition at the palace,

and the clothing is stolen by the woodcutter, the male lead...

Isn't he just a straight-up thief?

Well, the woodcutter was a thief in the original story, too.

Who's in talks for the male lead again?

Pyo Mun Su.

He was a top model, and this is his acting debut.

Well, good for him for trying. Tell him to work hard. Next.

This next one is an in-house project.

It's from "The Sun and the Moon," the "give-me-a-rice-cake" story.

You all know that one, right?

I thought the premise for this one was interesting.

Turning "The Sun and the Moon" into a space opera is quite a take.

But isn't the concept a little too much?

What is this guy, a complete pig?

He's not a tiger, is he? He's a pig.

And he's in a time loop just to keep eating rice cakes?

- Just how many is he scarfing down? - They must have been tasty.

Visit the set for a day and give notes on the rice cake scenes.

Get Hae Yeong in here for this one and have her read it by today.

And have Tae Rin do the daily drama.

Ma'am, that doesn't start filming for another month.

And she's not even done with her current project.

Once she's done with her current project,

shouldn't she get to take a bit of a break?

She's an adult, on her third series. We need to solidify her brand...

What, did you two rehearse this?

We're not that close, ma'am.

Let's move on.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Don't get the wrong idea.

It's just that Tae Rin has only been doing historical dramas,

and since this is her first contemporary role,

I was hoping she could shed that typecast image.

Is he your boyfriend?

The guy whose clothes you ripped in front of the office yesterday.

Oh, him...

I apologise for causing a scene in front of the office.

Was that too personal?

I thought we were close enough, Je Yeon.

Well...

The man from yesterday... His name is Sunwoo Hae.

Does that name ring a bell?

I see.

Let's see, what was he in?

Beat or Bebop or something? That kid?

Oh, of course, you remember.

Tae Rin and I actually went to the same school as him,

and my senior colleague, So Ra, asked me for a favour...

Producer Jin So Ra. We went to college together.

That award-winning pilot was her debut. I know her.

Yes, with her,

that two-part documentary that got shelved last year...

I was thinking we could try and revive it.

It would be a short shoot,

and it's rare to find a nice project that isn't chasing sensationalism.

You really like "nice" projects, don't you, Team Leader Sung?

Draft up a proposal.

Thank you, ma'am.

What a relief.

"I'm really sorry, but..."

"Hearing you call me takes me back."

"You only call me sir these days."

"You really haven't changed a bit."

All done?

- Yes. - Want to take a quick break?

- Sounds good. - Oh, sure.

Well...

You know the screenwriter, Ahn So Jin, right?

Everything she writes gets over 30 percent in ratings.

"My Annoying Daughter"

That title is so annoying.

Do people even say "annoying" anymore?

The only slight issue is,

the shoot starts in a month,

and it's 50 episodes, so it'll be a physical grind.

But didn't you say you were tired of historical dramas?

This is a contemporary story, set in the 2020s.

So this is what all my offers are like now?

Starting in a month...

I wonder how many people passed on this.

If you're up for it, instead of "My Annoying Daughter,"

I think the two-part documentary might be a better option.

You know, the one with Sunwoo Hae back then.

You know the project doesn't work without you.

It couldn't happen without me?

It was scrapped without Sunwoo Hae, but now that he's found, it'll work.

Tae Rin.

Hey, Tae Rin.

Where are you going by yourself?

To go buy bubbles.

I saw a stationery shop nearby.

If you want to go for a smoke, I already found a hidden spot.

Why do I feel like blowing bubbles right now of all times?

I know you're worried about them dredging up the "child actor" thing.

"She's not as good as she was as a kid."

"She's stuck in her childhood roles."

This project is perfect for that.

Even at my age, whatever I do, I still get the "child actor" label.

It makes me want to throw up.

A nostalgic trip with the co-star who's the very symbol of that label?

Isn't that just torture?

But the person you were back then is still a part of you.

I thought you were amazing then, and you're still amazing now.

What was that?

You're not the type to say cheesy things like that, Je Yeon.

Did you get struck by lightning?

Should I go get struck by it now?

Gosh. You're so cute, you almost had me there.

My true self...

I don't have the confidence to show it.

Don't draw such a hard line. Why not blend them a little?

I mean, it's all scripted anyway.

You could just add a little extra something.

What would you mix in?

My wisdom and sagacity?

That's a brilliant idea.

You can be anything you want to be.

But what's the deal with Sunwoo Hae?

I thought he said he wouldn't do it.

Who knows.

He must have had a change of heart.

Apparently, he wants to get rich.

Feeling a little better?

Should I give you some space?

Come with me.

Did you have a price range in mind?

To make a full bouquet with the flowers you've chosen,

it would be around 70 dollars.

Could you make it 50, please?

I can't spend more than that. Not on that...

That person.

I'll make sure it looks full.

But...

You broke up, but he invited you to his solo exhibition?

I wonder if this is what he's trying to say.

"A new beginning."

No, I don't want a new beginning with him.

I see.

Okay.

"The impossible."

I'll make this work for 50 dollars.

You've become a smooth operator.

What?

It's adorable.

I hope it makes a great gift.

- Please come again. - Thank you.

You're a natural at sales.

What?

You look pretty today.

I came here to ask you something, and I almost forgot what it was.

Is your beauty that shocking?

You've got a certain presence about you.

- What? - For one, you know flower meanings.

That?

I read this book until it fell apart.

It was on their origins and history.

To think you never cracked a book for school.

I just wonder, why do people buy flowers?

Hey, now.

That's a bit harsh.

- Why won't they? - Of course, they buy them.

Just not for themselves.

They're always going to performances to congratulate people.

Tae Rin does, too.

Since blue roses don't occur naturally...

they were originally a symbol of the impossible.

But once genetically engineered, their meaning changed.

So what did it change to?

Curious enough to buy one and find out?

And do what with it?

You can figure that out after you buy it.

That sounded too much like a sales pitch, didn't it?

No, I mean, who gave flowers their meanings in the first place?

The people trying to sell them, of course.

Exactly. For whose benefit?

The florists, that's who.

Anyway, about the shoot...

Let's just say we're old high school friends.

- So you play along. - And what should I say?

That we're high school friends who kissed?

Hey, you!

Hey.

Technically, that's not what happened, all right?

It wasn't, but if you say anything...

I'm not kidding, you'll regret it.

You pick the date for the meeting. Any day works.

I've decided to get along with you.

At least until filming is over.

Let's not get on each other's nerves.

Depends on how you act.

You might even end up respecting me.

Look at you.

Take a good long look.

All right.

I'm off.

Go on, then.

Welcome.

Here for some flowers?

Yes. I'm just going to browse for a bit.

I'm waiting for someone.

Oh, of course. Take your time.

Excuse me, are you a producer?

Me? Yes.

- What? - Hey.

- Oh, you're here. - Sung Je Yeon.

Where is he? I said, where is he?

If you're messing with me,

I swear, you're going to pay for this.

You want to know why? Because yesterday,

- I pulled an all-nighter, you hear? - The coffee! Over there.

It's Sunwoo Hae. Right there.

Right there.

I said any day, and you really took me up on it right away.

Hello, I'm Sunwoo Hae.

Wait, what's this? What happened?

I'm Jin So Ra.

Gosh!

I wasn't expecting to meet you like this.

Gosh!

Look how much you've grown!

I mean it, you're huge! Bebop, you used to be this tiny.

And now you're all grown up...

I was a huge fan of "Beat and Bebop"

Who knew I'd get so big, right?

Anyway, thank you for coming.

No, I should be thanking you.

No, really, thank you.

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, I...

I have to put my project on hold and revise this segment.

This project is really important to me.

Please don't change your mind.

Then make me not want to.

Right, I just stepped out for a moment.

If any issues come up, Je Yeon here will be in touch.

Okay.

See you soon.

Leaving? I'll go with you.

Let's do a great job.

Hey, Sung Je Yeon.

She just comes and goes as she pleases.

Always doing whatever she wants.

You called for me?

Hi.

Looks like you set our meetings to overlap.

I got here a little early.

Should I give you two some space?

I read the report you submitted.

But you left out the issue with Yu Je Il.

We're currently coordinating a meeting date.

And as for "My Annoying Daughter," the filming schedule...

I decided the schedule would be too physically demanding for her.

This is Tae Rin's first documentary.

Does she have to share the spotlight with some non-celebrity?

I have a feeling once this airs,

people will talk more about Sunwoo Hae.

Because he's been off the radar since he was 13.

Because he vanished so dramatically.

Which makes people curious.

Since he's a non-celebrity, it's hard to create follow-up buzz,

so I prioritised Tae Rin.

Because that's what's best for the company and for you, ma'am.

Why would he bother to be on TV now at his age?

It makes you wonder. Is it for the money?

Just give me your approval,

and I'll be on set for every shoot and handle everything personally.

Don't let him get too close to Tae Rin.

And don't let him pull any stunts for a comeback or personal gain.

You brought him in, so it's on you to keep him in line.

And keep a close eye on Sunwoo Hae during the entire shoot.

Yes, ma'am.

Mom, why have you always hated him so much?

I have? When? Just now?

Why on earth would I hate him?

If it's a good idea, why not just do it?

Do his motives really matter?

That's a good point.

You're pretty sharp.

There it is. That prickly side.

I'm so sick and tired of it.

He looks worse in person than on TV.

Hey, what are we going to do?

The baby just won't cry.

Tell me about it.

He has to cry for us to use the footage.

Excuse me! Coming through. Hey!

- A debt collector? - Hey, get the shot! Quick!

You should've paid me back!

Sunwoo Hae's story...

is ideal for gossip, don't you think?

He was the face of that fraud case.

His mother even took her own life because she lost hope.

So?

What are you so worried about?

It's just...

It seems good, even to me, but I'm worried it'll get tainted.

You know, Mom,

you sound like you're talking about Sunwoo Hae when he was 13.

The way you feel sorry for him.

I do?

Pity him? Why would I?

Thinking only of your actress, this is a great opportunity.

People who watch the show will say that Mo Tae Rin turned out so well.

All thanks to Sunwoo Hae.

But that's not what you were just thinking, was it?

It's as if you've gone back to that time.

This documentary is going to be a hit.

I've got to go. I need to get back to the office.

Art Director!

Excuse me, coming through.

Producer, you said today was just supposed to be our first meeting.

But you show up with cameras and a whole crew...

We're doing two things at once. To save some time.

We figured we could get a little screen test done while we're at it.

Hello.

I'm Jung Ji Hye, the writer for the show.

Hello.

And this is our junior writer.

Hello.

I trust you've seen the proposal?

Yes, but I must admit I didn't quite understand what it was about.

Well, that's the thing about television.

Until it actually airs, no one knows how it will turn out.

Let's get shots of the inside. What are you waiting for?

Yes, on it.

What are you making?

I'm blooming it.

You said this was just a test, so I'm keeping it simple.

Ma'am, they said Mo Tae Rin has arrived.

Okay, go and say your hellos.

Hello. Hi, everyone.

- Hello. - Hi.

- Hello. - Hey.

Hello.

What?

You two should be saying hi to each other.

Weren't you two the national siblings?

We have the National Little Sister, Mo Tae Rin.

And the National Little Brother, Sunwoo Hae.

Your characters' names were Beat and Bebop, was it?

What?

Wait, you're Bebop?

What happened to you?

What's that supposed to mean?

I just meant you've grown so much, I almost didn't recognise you.

Well, you should have just said that, then.

Your personality hasn't changed a bit, though.

What?

Hey, Bebop.

A bit informal, aren't we?

Hey, Beat.

Hey!

The TV stars from my childhood are right here in front of me.

I knew it.

This is so moving.

Wait, are these artificial?

They're real flowers, preserved and dyed so they won't wilt.

Oh, I see.

Is that why they're so expensive? Counting the labour and all.

Well, it can't be cheap if it's made to last forever.

Right.

- Je Yeon, I... - Yes.

She's scary sometimes.

I figured you might be thirsty.

By any chance,

do any of your customers recognise you?

Because I recognised you right away.

But you didn't recognise me.

Should we try it before the first shoot?

Could I just ask you for one favour?

- Sorry? - Oh, it's just...

You could just stroll in like a customer...

- and act shy when you see him. - Right.

You're not quite sure if it's him, and you're all... You know?

I just can't, for the life of me,

bring myself to act shy in front of him.

Just try to act shy.

I'll play along.

Oh, it's Bebop.

Wait. Bebop...

Sorry, let me try that again.

You're Bebop, right?

You are Bebop, aren't you?

Even if I was, you're making me not want to say so.

Okay, let me try again with a little more feeling.

Wait a second. Aren't you the child actor, Sunwoo Hae?

But you already knew I was here when you walked in.

Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my gosh, it is you. It really is.

The youngest-ever Best Actor Award winner!

Oh, my.

Gosh, so if you just add "Oh, my,"

it makes you all shy all of a sudden?

You said you'd play along. Why aren't you, sir?

It's not as easy as it looks.

I mean, besides, in this situation,

wouldn't our Tae Rin be the one people notice first?

Actually, never mind.

I guess I'm too big for my britches.

I used to do it all and not complain.

I'll try again and do it right.

No.

We're better off cutting this.

How humiliating.

One, two, three!

Action!

- Tear this open, Tae Rin. - Okay.

- Then pour it in here. - Okay.

That's it.

Just mix it together.

There you go. You're doing great.

Of course, I am. This part's a piece of cake.

- All right, keep stirring. - Okay.

Okay, now take that out.

Take it out like this.

Okay.

Break it up and mix it in together.

Okay.

Hey, Sunwoo Hae.

Hey, Sunwoo Hae.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Oh, good.

Try not to look directly into the camera.

If you can, try to look off to the side like that.

Got it.

- Great work. - Great work.

You all should hang out when you have time.

It'll make for a better final product.

The bickering between Beat and Bebop...

I'm sure tons of people want to see that.

Then let's go to Geon No's place. The one we went to last time.

Oh, we have a night scene to shoot, so we have to get to the set...

I see.

Well, that's a shame. Let's just drop him off on our way.

That's okay, right?

- Get home safe. - Okay, great work today.

- Great work. - Great work.

Good job.

Yes, get home safe.

Hey, Sunwoo Hae.

Are you really going to talk about personal stuff like that?

What were you thinking, saying, "The place we went to last time?"

Oh, so that was personal?

My mistake. I thought it was official business.

I heard you were in the same class. You must have been really close.

Were we?

I don't know. I don't remember.

What's the definition of "close" anyway?

I don't know. In my book, we weren't.

I asked Mo Tae Rin, you know. You said you don't remember.

I don't!

Right.

But when I messed up digging earlier and got dirt all over myself,

didn't I look like a total idiot?

Tae Rin.

You have no idea how adorable you looked.

You were absolutely adorable.

Let's be honest. You did look kind of dumb.

- Shut it. - Yes, you were the bigger idiot.

Fine.

It's strange, now that I think about it.

How did we never once run into each other at school?

I avoided you.

I figured nothing good would come of being seen with you.

What's that supposed to mean?

What?

What?

I'm going to buy a shovel.

I'll practice in my free time at home. I want to get good at it.

At what, digging yourself into a hole?

Can I swear?

Go for it.

I'm good at swearing now.

No, don't, Tae Rin.

She said not to.

To think a little kid like you knows how to swear.

Hey, don't egg her on.

Go on.

- Go on. - Bye.

- Wait a second. - Okay.

Hey, Sunwoo Hae.

You had a panic attack earlier, didn't you?

I know a psychiatrist, if you want to talk to someone.

I haven't been on camera in a while.

I guess I was a little rusty.

I'll be more careful next time.

I heard you've been turning down all your offers for TV shows.

What's with the change of heart, deciding to be in this?

What's with all the questions?

After all that sweet-talking you did to get me to sign on?

I'm leaving.

Why are you writing your shop's log in my shop?

I figured if I stayed to finish,

they'd leave without giving me a ride.

Gosh, I'm two days behind.

Hey, hurry up and finish.

Hey.

What do you think of a guy in debt?

- Is he pretty? - You could say that.

- Is he young? - He's of a certain age.

A pretty guy who's in debt and of a certain age.

He's not my type at all. What are you getting at?

Just a little self-assessment.

So, what's the verdict?

That firefighter with you...

was our old class president, wasn't she?

What's the story there?

She just showed up out of the blue.

And not to sell you insurance, or run some kind of scam?

Like, with a pure heart?

I wonder.

I don't think it would have mattered what her intentions were.

She was always really good to me when we were kids.

If it hadn't been for Sung Je Yeon, back in high school, I would've...

And who looked out for you all through high school?

- Me! That's who! - Welcome.

Hey, I was in the middle of talking.

Welcome.

A salad? Are you on a diet?

Yes.

The director said, "Who'd protect a big girl like you?"

Gosh. That's ridiculous.

Who's protecting whom? My character is the one who's dying.

It is a romantic comedy, though.

You guys go on and eat.

You've been dragged into this diet with me.

But please,

eat something sinful for me. I mean something seriously decadent.

The kind of thing that's so good it could kill you both.

- All right, calm down. - Something like that.

Here.

Je Yeon.

- Can I talk to you for a second? - Yes.

- Keep eating. - Okay.

Go on.

Hey, what does Je Yeon like?

Je Yeon...

likes me. Why do you ask?

Eat up.

We're putting out a press release for the new programming schedule.

- And our show is the main feature. - Oh, nice!

So I have to write a quick summary and pass it along.

And I'm sure they'll ask about Bebop...

Oh, you'll mention Tae Rin too, right?

I'll ask the PR team for materials.

Oh, sure.

As for Bebop,

since you're close, could you get his for me?

We're not close.

Well, you're closer to him than I am.

You know, about Bebop...

I was a little worried, to be honest.

Since he has such a dark past, I thought he'd be a downer.

I see.

Well, I...

I guess I've never really thought of him that way.

High school classmates?

What was he like back then?

Well, now he speaks his mind freely, which I actually find refreshing.

He doesn't seem to hold things in.

I guess he was pretty similar back then.

Maybe a bit cuter than he is now?

No, not at all.

Not at all.

Are there any must-try restaurants around here?

I wouldn't know.

So, where are we going then?

I thought you knew where we were going.

Let's get this over with quickly and head back.

Gosh.

What happened to "let's get along?" Did it just vanish into thin air?

Stop playing dumb.

There's no way you don't know the good spots around here.

Well, you pretended not to know me at first.

Are we really bringing this up now?

Do you tend to hold a grudge?

For the record, I can hold a grudge for a long time.

It wasn't that I was pretending not to know you.

I just couldn't find the right time to say hi.

That's the same thing.

So Ra said you're not what she expected.

That you're so direct and outspoken, and that you don't hold grudges.

My foot.

Maybe it's all the resentment I bottled up as a kid?

Back then, even when off-camera, I always felt like I was performing.

Trying to impress the adults,

I was always reading the room and calculating what to say.

But ever since I quit,

I've wanted to live my life just saying whatever I want.

Why are you looking at me like that?

And how am I looking at you?

"You're grown up and still whining. How pathetic."

That kind of look?

No, I'm just relieved.

Our producer is preparing a press release,

and it seems they need an update on you or something.

An update starting from when, exactly?

Since the setting is a flower shop, maybe from after came of age?

You published that book when you were 20, right?

But it seems you didn't continue writing novels.

I'm wondering if we should include that or leave it out.

No. Definitely leave it out.

Why?

It's way cooler than just "He became a florist."

The whole "writing novels surrounded by flowers" image.

Just hearing you say that makes me cringe so hard.

It sounds kind of annoying.

That's hilarious.

You think it's funny?

No, it's not funny.

Not funny at all.

A day like this will never come again.

And yet, because we were together,

I couldn't be happier.

The chewing is so loud. What are we supposed to do about it?

This is supposed to be an emotional scene.

Oh, how can I say that to him?

Gosh.

I can't believe she can get into character with that noise.

Excuse me.

I can't do this anymore.

I'm really sorry, but...

Hearing you call me takes me back.

Could you please not smack your lips so loudly?

- I noticed... - Tae Rin.

- You're quiet when you swallow. - Please, don't.

Can't you just swallow it whole?

I don't think that's possible.

You've been smacking your lips for several takes now.

It's completely taking me out of the scene.

Can't you, please?

I am so sorry!

So, how did it go?

Is it that bad?

I smoothed things over, so don't worry about it.

You should've come to me first with something like that.

You can't just say that to an actor's face.

I mean, it's the last meal for a character who's about to die.

And he's devouring it with such gusto.

That's all I hear.

Out of respect for the person who made the meal.

Eating with relish, right?

And I'm over here starving on a diet because of him.

Good grief.

Please.

Let's just keep things positive.

And only say nice things, Ms. Mo, all right?

No more tears.

I'm done crying.

- You sure? - Yes.

Does that mean you're getting into character?

No, I'm just mad.

You smiled.

(Wanmi Jokbal)

So you're telling me you cried on set?

At 30 years old?

You were bawling your eyes out?

I didn't bawl. I just teared up a bit.

When I was a kid, crying always worked.

Even as a kid, being professional was always a struggle.

What does a kid have to be professional about?

At most, you just had to be polite and say your hellos.

Just have fun on set, and you'd be fine.

You're really something else.

What?

Your hair is a mess too. You should fix it.

No, not that spot.

No, the other side. Your left...

Done.

Then you should've just fixed it.

Well, I'm not your manager.

For the record, my greetings were always top-notch.

Wasn't that the only thing you were good at?

No, I was good at greetings too.

- No. - Yes.

- I said no! - And I said yes!

Hang on a second.

I like what you just did there. Let's try to go with that, okay?

For today's scene, the two of you...

are eating a spread of pork rinds and jokbal...

and having some drinks with it.

The idea is that you're having a heart-to-heart.

But let's go with that bickering vibe you just had.

What exactly did you like about it?

Didn't I come off like a total loser?

That's what's so charming about it.

When your real self comes out, Tae Rin, you're really fun to watch.

If you can show me a bit of that, it'll help build your characters.

And I'll be sure to capture all the right moments.

Okay.

Oh, but since I'm on a diet...

I might have to just drink on an empty stomach.

The producer's right. You're hilarious when you act like a loser.

That is not what she said.

Yes, she did.

Can you please tell him off?

You must've gotten in trouble a lot when you were a kid.

You just have that kind of face.

"Why do you keep making your little sister cry?"

But I didn't make you cry. You're the one who cried.

I'm positive there were times you made me cry.

"I'm cold." "I'm hungry." "I'm sleepy." "I'm hot."

You never cried because of me.

Well, you've got a great memory.

Whatever. It's all in the past.

I guess I'm still living through it.

Is it okay if I cuss today?

I said go for it.

Je Yeon's been on the phone for a while.

She must be getting a lot of calls because of today's article.

The response has been good.

I haven't read any of it.

I'm too scared to see the comments.

Have you asked Je Yeon for advice on renewing your contract or not?

Were you too scared to do that, too?

I feel like I'd just be burdening her, you know?

I think I need a change of scenery right now.

If what you're looking for...

isn't a shoulder to cry on,

but a guide, then don't worry.

I'm great with directions.

- Okay. - Okay.

What if a burglar breaks in? Seriously.

I've noticed you're always here when I stop by after dinner.

What are you reading?

I don't know. Just...

whatever's here.

At least look at the title.

Don't just read it because it's there, like some little kid.

Right.

Make sure you lock up properly for a while.

I might not be able to stop by on my days off.

That's nonsense.

I'm going to be on TV.

Yes, that's what ended up happening.

How did that end up happening?

There's someone I haven't been able to see all this time.

I figured if I do this, I might be able to see her more.

She's helping to grease the wheels where it's broken down.

Oh, seriously.

You can't just decide I'm broken down.

You were trying to make ends meet while taking care of your sibling.

You sacrificed your 20s. How could you possibly be fine?

I really hold it against your parents.

Gosh. Join the club.

Hey!

You can't agree with me! It's your filial duty!

They gave you life and raised you, for crying out loud!

- Ma'am. - What is it?

So, which tune am I supposed to dance to?

Strike up the band

Grease those wheels properly.

And you know,

that's how you pay off your debts in life, I guess.

- You have debts there too? - Oh, you know it.

A ton.

They're huge.

By the way, do you really need an image of the sea?

I thought you said you were planting trees on a mountain.

Well, the writer...

said he thinks he'll need a shot of the sea.

Come on, it'll only take two days.

Okay, well, once the schedule's out, I'll share it with you.

Okay. All right, bye.

- I'm here already, Producer. - Okay.

How's that friend of yours doing?

He's fine.

My daughter asked if he'd look at something she wrote.

And she'd also really like to meet and get his feedback in person.

But that might be too much to ask, right?

I'll ask him when I give him the draft.

I'll try to get him to agree.

Oh, thank you so much.

Oh, and by the way, about the co-host for our show...

We're meeting with other candidates as well.

We're going to meet them all and pick the one with the best vibe.

I'm counting on you for today's meeting as well.

Of course.

This is our producer, Yu Je Il.

- Hello, I'm Mo Tae Rin. - A pleasure to meet you.

- Hello, I'm Director Bang Han Na. - A pleasure to meet you.

What... "Closed?"

Why are we closed?

Did we go out of business?

(Currently delivering happiness.) (Emergency contact)

Putting up a "Closed" sign makes people think you went under.

Nu Ri, let's lose the heart.

- That's not going to work. - If not, let's remove "Happiness."

Hae, if we take out "Happiness," what's the point?

I mean, how do you deliver happiness anyway?

It's exaggerated.

What? I guess you don't think it's false advertising?

Hey, what's with all the stuff you bought?

I didn't buy any of it, actually.

Someone who likes me bought it all. Unlike someone I know.

Who?

Your boyfriend?

The truth is, I bought it myself.

Hae! Just go inside already.

I have lots of backed-up, you know, social media posts to upload.

Hey, the only thing that's backed up is your studies, Nu Ri.

Or your whole life will fall behind! Hey, Eun Nu Ri!

Not you and that doll again...

Thirty minutes until the wardrobe pickup.

So, from the flower shop...

All the way there...

Working through your meal, I see.

Guess that's life as a lackey.

Stop trying to pick a fight...

and have a smoke or something.

Mr. CEO's Son.

I'm not here for a smoke.

Hey, let's be honest. No one wanted to rep Mo Tae Rin.

Not until Je Yeon stepped up.

Even so...

Is Sung Je Yeon not thinking straight?

I mean, how'd she get her actress involved with that fraud, Hae?

Unbelievable.

He just crawls out of the woodwork to sell childhood tales. Pathetic.

Excuse me. Who do you think you are?

Who are you?

Let's just go.

I think he's some kind of weirdo.

- What's with that guy? - Let's go.

Who was that?

You got nothing better to do?

You need to watch yourself.

What?

What are you talking about?

Je Yeon told you about this already, didn't she?

You don't have to take the part, so just give it a read.

No pressure.

By "My Annoying Daughter," you don't happen to mean me, do you?

It's the main role, no less.

Are you slacking off on your studies again?

Yes, I came here specifically to slack off.

Say hi. This is Tae Rin, who I'm sure you know,

and this is my son, Kim Seok Ju.

Your son? How?

Because I gave birth to him.

Our family tie is confidential, so please keep it a secret for now.

But why is the CEO's son here?

I'm here to clean the building. It's my side gig.

Oh, you're so corny.

Have a good shoot today.

How's it going with Sunwoo Hae?

Everything all right?

Yes, it's surprisingly comfortable.

It's fine.

It was nice seeing him again, actually.

Let's not get too chummy.

Let's grab a bite after you finish reading it.

Okay, take care.

("My Annoying Daughter")

Hey!

Oh, you're here.

Gosh, seriously...

- A rainbow. - Look, a rainbow! Did you see it?

Oh, a rainbow!

I'm looking for Sunwoo Hae.

Yes, that's me.

Here you go.

This is from Kim Seok Joo.

Kim Seok Joo?

I just need a signature right here.

- Thank you. - Have a good one.

Gosh. Kim Seok Joo.

Sending a flower basket to a flower shop...

Why'd I have to find out about your debut from an article?

What are we, strangers?

- Your number one fan, Seok Joo. - Seok Joo, with a heart?

He bought flowers from another shop instead of ours?

I ought to just... Seriously.

Oh, is that what this is about?

Seok Joo?

Are you and Kim Seok Joo actually brothers?

- And you're blood-related too? - What?

You don't know Kim Seok Joo, do you?

You were in different grades.

Right.

I doubt I know him.

You're better off not knowing him.

Why? You two didn't get along?

And we never will.

I'm going to go on in.

- Okay. - Okay.

Oh, here, let me get that.

- I'll take it in. - Thanks.

- Hey, Sung Je Yeon. - Yes?

You've known Kim Seok Joo way longer than me, so how could you not know?

Just because we go way back, doesn't mean we're close.

For you and Kim Seok Joo to be brothers,

our CEO...

and your father...

What?

She's your CEO?

That's quite a reaction.

I don't have anything against her.

Though I can't say the same for her.

You look like you have a million questions.

Suddenly, I have all these questions.

But I'm holding back.

You can ask.

Because they have absolutely nothing to do with me.

They got remarried when I was a senior in high school.

I wanted to live with my sibling, so I never moved in with his family.

Any more questions?

Still, I thought...

people would be happier to see you.

How bad were their reactions?

How bad are we talking?

Let's just say you're going to live for a very long time.

I knew it. We should have said, "florist and novelist."

Then again,

the tabloids would have a field day with it.

All my old drama, right?

I call that buzz.

If people weren't interested, they wouldn't say a thing.

That means you still have pull with the public.

If I thought I'd regret it, I wouldn't have jumped in.

I'll take care of what I have to.

So don't worry too much.

It's been a long time.

Shush.

Hae, you're not supposed to be here.

What happened? You're so skinny.

Have you been eating?

Are you sick?

I got my draft notice.

I can't put it off any longer.

What do we do with Nu Ri?

What?

Well...

Hae. Let's talk inside.

Come on.

Well...

What am I going to do?

So...

Oh, that's right! Geon No's mom.

She babysat you when you were young, so maybe she can look after Nu Ri...

She's the daughter of the woman you lived with.

- You abandoned me and Mom. - I didn't abandon you...

Chan, is someone here?

No, no one's here!

Hae is here.

I hope you've been well.

Could you watch my little sister just while I'm in the army?

She hasn't even started school yet.

Your sister?

But her mother died ages ago.

She's not her daughter.

And I don't think this is the time for pride.

Chan, deal with this.

Okay, I'll handle...

Why did you ask to see me?

I wanted to see you.

To see how you've been.

You've been quite hard to reach.

I was surprised you sent for me.

I've been waiting a long time for this.

Longer than I have? I doubt it.

This is the money you gave me in high school.

I put it to good use.

If I were that strapped for cash, I wouldn't have paid off the debt.

Don't you understand what it meant when I paid off the debt?

Of course, I do.

This...

I wanted to clear my conscience.

After all, you're the one who put up with that man.

You seem to be doing quite well for yourself.

No matter what you've become,

to me, you're still the same 20-year-old Sunwoo Hae,

a student who constantly skipped school,

who's constantly in and out of motels and bars.

I guess it never occurred to you to feel sorry for me.

With you acting like that, how was I to find you endearing?

And why shouldn't you have?

As for Seok Joo going off the rails,

it's much more convenient for you to blame it all on me, isn't it?

Seok Joo went ahead...

and brought home your sister, who could as well be your daughter.

- And I even gave her a room. - That's my point.

That's why I'm good to Seok Joo. To repay you for that.

You were the right age to have her, weren't you?

Do you get that from your mother, too?

I have no idea why you suddenly felt the need to take this out on me,

and I don't really care.

I'm just here...

to repay a debt I owe. That's all.

You should go back in.

Same nasty attitude as always.

Welcome.

Son. I started a publishing company.

Here. A little something to celebrate the opening.

They turned out really nice.

These should probably go in the fridge...

You opened it today?

Three years ago today.

Why are you here?

I thought we were supposed to be dead to each other.

Well...

I saw the article.

Are you really going to be on that show?

I was worried.

I didn't see this one coming.

Of all the fallout from the article, of course, this would be part of it.

If you happen to need money, I'd like to help you out...

I'm just worried about you.

Does that woman know you came here?

I should get going.

Oh, you look busy. Right, I'll get out.

Just give me one rose.

Just one.

Usually, men only buy flowers when they've done something wrong.

There are plenty of flower shops in Seoul,

so go buy one somewhere else, Mr. Poet.

I'll come back.

A single rose? What's that all about?

- Knock, knock. - Hello.

I've been watching you for a while now.

Are you shopping for yourself? Or for Tae Rin?

Let me see.

We didn't get a call from a stylist.

No, it's for me.

Do you have any clothes that are hard to rip?

Okay.

So, let me get this straight.

Do you want it to rip eventually? Or...

do you want something that takes a lot of effort...

to rip? What's the end goal here?

Something sturdy. The sturdiest you have.

Something I can wear for ten years.

Design, colour, durability...

I don't want to compromise on a single thing.

I know.

Let's have a look, shall we?

Let's see what my babies have to offer.

Oh, my baby.

Oh my.

I can't believe I overlooked this.

This is the number one pick for you.

What do you think?

I trust you.

It's going to rip eventually.

- It absolutely can't. - It won't.

Here you go.

You'll get a solid ten years out of this, easy.

- I trust you. - Good.

Je Yeon, we have a problem. Did you see the follow-up article?

There's a video attached to it.

Yes. What video are you talking about?

What?

Ma'am.

There's a follow-up article on Tae Rin's documentary,

and we have a problem.

I think you'd better take a look.

There's an old news clip attached to it,

and it's being used as clickbait.

This isn't going to look good for Tae Rin.

That poor, unlucky girl.

Did you see that video of Mo Tae Rin?

You know "Beat and Bebop?" The sitcom clip suddenly went viral.

But of course, taking advantage of it, the vultures cover it.

Unbelievable. Profiting off someone's misery...

What is it?

What about someone's misery? What?

Gossiping?

Did you see this? An article just popped up.

What?

This came out way too good for the mood I'm in.

I should take a picture.

Where did my phone go?

Oh, here it is.

Why'd you call so many times?

(Producer Jin So Ra)

Yes, Producer?

Why weren't you picking up?

Gosh, I thought something had happened.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was working and had my phone on silent.

I'm really sorry.

Is something wrong?

I see.

Yes.

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm really fine.

Okay.

Mr. Lee, the CEO of A Entertainment and a film director,

is on the run after embezzling...

five million dollars in production funds.

Meanwhile, Film Director Lee, who fled after embezzling the funds,

remains at large.

The mother of Actor Sunwoo Hae,

a victim in the A Entertainment fraud case,

was found dead in her home this afternoon.

A suicide note left by Sunwoo Hae's mother has been found,

stating she took her life after being scammed out of millions...

by film director Lee, the former CEO of A Entertainment.

The discovery is a heartbreaking turn in the ongoing case.

Meanwhile, Film Director Lee, who fled after embezzling the funds,

remains at large.

Police say they are investigating Lee's family and associates.

Sunwoo Hae's family reportedly lost millions of dollars.

Regarding Lee's alleged fraud,

police also consider the possibility that Hae's family were accomplices.

Sunwoo Hae, who first discovered the body,

is keeping a lonely vigil at the funeral hall.

Hey, what are we going to do? The baby just won't cry.

Tell me about it. He has to cry for us to use the footage.

Excuse me! Coming through. Hey!

- Get out of the way! - What?

Hey! This is all because of you.

- You think dying solves everything? - Hey, get this.

You think it's over just because you're dead?

Mu Yeong!

You should've paid me back!

What about my money? What am I supposed to do!

Hey, I heard you've made a lot of money.

You. Sign this.

Say something!

Hurry! Sign it!

What's this?

Are you his father? Hey!

What are you going to do about my money? Hey!

Hey, old man! You know Director Lee, right?

Sorry.

I'm so sorry.

No...

I didn't know, I swear.

No, I looked into everything. I did. But I must have missed something.

It's my fault.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'll...

make everything right again.

Just give me a little time.

Don't go.

Can you just...

hold me one more time?

I guess I was hoping...

that you would.
