WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

Hello, everyone!

- Hello!
- Hello!

We've got this!

It's the end of the year!
Let's make some money!

THE LOYAL CATERING

All right!

- You're good to go!
- Okay.

- Drive safely!
- Will do!

Have you ever asked for help before?

I'm not talking about

simply asking for help.

I mean, when you're really struggling.

Who'd do that?

Make sure you ask me, okay?

There's a worst kind of feeling
I never want to go through.

It's hard

to put into words.

It's like being trapped in a hole

that's only 30 cm wide but 100 m deep,
unable to move an inch.

That's what it's like,

but now that I know I can ask for help,

that 30 cm hole

feels about a meter wide now.

So promise me

that you'll ask for help, okay?

Okay.

To pull you out from self-destructing,

I threw myself into that emotion…

dove deep into it,
and found the words to save you.

Words I've never spoken in my life.

"Help me."

But the words I found to save you

ended up saving me instead.

NO ONE COMES INTO YOUR LIFE BY MISTAKE

When you get out of
a worst-case situation,

it suddenly opens up a new perspective,

and everything you struggled with before
starts to feel trivial.

Success?

Debuting?

Screw all that.

If I had just one wish in life,

it would be to die of old age.

I hope cats, trees,

and all living things die of old age.

Not from illness,

not from agony.

I hope everything dies of old age

like leaves falling from a tree.

MA JAE-YEONG

I'll credit you on the screenplay.

But under a pseudonym.

I refuse to put your real name on it.

That's the best I can do.

Is it okay to use "Yeong-sil"

as my pseudonym?

I like the idea
of living an easygoing life.

I'd be grateful.

I'm sure Yeong-sil would be honored too.

Thank you.

Yeong-sil.

What's that?

My pseudonym.

Yeong-sil.

You know what I mean.

It's like when a guy
who has nothing going for him,

but once a woman says he does,
he starts to seem that way.

You start to think,
"He must have something I'm not aware of."

Now that you like Hwang Dong-man,
he seems impressive.

- Really?
- Yeah.

I'll have to tell him that.

Wow, he's really fast.

That's amazing.

- He's so fast.
- Wow, look at this.

I'll leave you to it.

Wait, but…

My brother
really went to Daegwallyeong this time.

Eun-a, have you been waiting long?

- I just got here.
- I see.

TANGERINE
5,000 WON

That looks good.

A time of serenity is approaching,

when you can curl up under a blanket,
eat tangerines, and read comic books.

Why does winter feel more serene?

Because it makes you
go looking for warmth?

You're right.

By the way, I think I can send you
my revised draft this week.

The screenplay
is getting more interesting.

I'm excited to read it.

Now I see why directors are eager
for you to tear apart their screenplays.

When you send screenplays
to other producers,

they just go on about the story structure
and the ending,

throwing around technical terms.

But you're different.

You know exactly where I'm stuck

and where I need to focus emotionally
so I can really take off.

You know,

you have a real gift for reading people.

I guess that's a skill

you're just born with, right?

Come on.

You're the one who figured out
the "help me" emotion.

May I ask why…

that appeared on your watch?

You don't have to answer.

It was because of Jin-man.

May I ask why

that appeared on your watch?

You don't have to answer me.

It was because of my mom.

Did you get along with your mom?

We got along better

after she passed away.

I don't understand the phrase
"Look after your mom."

My idea of a mom is so different
from everyone else's.

Whenever I feel like I'm being abandoned,

like my boyfriend leaving me

or things going badly at work…

my whole body aches, and I get nosebleeds.

When I traced these symptoms
back to the source,

they led to one person.

The first person who wrote me off.

My mom.

I didn't know when I was young,

but when I got older, I thought,

"The woman who gave birth to me

was such…

a weak woman."

That's when I decided

that I'm going to become a strong mother
and a strong woman.

Someone who wouldn't be ashamed

of her child or her husband.

A strong mother and a strong woman.

That's a relief.

You see,

I'm a really embarrassing guy.

I wouldn't say "really."

Just a little.

You're a little embarrassing

but very lovable.

The goddess of the wind!

Who would dare abandon you?

Who would dare write you off?

Feel free to use me

until I'm no longer needed.

I'll be here waiting for you
if you return.

The goddess of the wind!

I'm a lifelong Byeon Eun-a admirer

and someone you can come to anytime.

It's the goddess of the wind!

If it pains you to see me live like that,

I'll meet another woman

for a little while.

Just for a moment.

And if you tell me to come back,

I'll run back to you.

No, if I meet another woman,

I'll say, "Byeon Eun-a controls me."

"I must rush back to her
whenever she calls."

This is what I'll say
before seeing someone.

If you want me to remain single

or be on standby forever,

I'll do that.

If that's enough to ease your anxiety,

isn't that a wonderful way to live?

Jeez, what am I going to do?

I'm such a lovable bastard.

Shouldn't you head up?

Go upstairs already.

The writer will be here soon.

What's the point?
It's not happening anyway.

Have you read their writing?

I can't even look at it.

There's a typo in the first line.
Are they insane?

A real writer reviews their work
at least 20 times before submitting.

Should I tell them not to come

20 minutes before the appointment?

Should I tell them to go back

when they're coming
all the way from Dongducheon?

I told you I'm not co-writing,
so why'd you set up an appointment?

I warned you.

You can't do it alone this time.

Go upstairs.

Go upstairs, interview the writer,

and tear them apart
if that's what you want.

But I'll search the whole country
to find you a co-writer.

Just go upstairs.

If an appointment was made,
you should show up.

- You said to tear them apart!
- Go ahead!

Man, that punk.

Go easy on him.

You know how he is.

He's the type

who needs constant praise

to get his brain to kick in
and think clearly.

What is he, a kid?

Write something already
instead of sitting around all day.

Hey, you…

My brain's working.

RESUME
NAME: PARK JEONG-MIN

I thought you were a guy
because of your name.

I get that a lot.

They say female writers
hate male writers the most.

We don't like female writers either

because they're full of themselves
and stubborn as hell.

That's how we see male writers too.

- I see you've done a lot of co-writing.
- Yes.

I haven't worked solo yet.

Why?

I'm not at that level yet.

You've only been credited as a co-writer.

- Yes.
- Did the lead writers find you helpful?

Well, we're on good terms.

You can be bad at your job
and still be on good terms

if the lead writers
grit their teeth and bear it.

I see.

This is a bloody, intense screenplay.

I'm not sure if a woman can handle it.

You know what it's about?

Yes, I heard from Producer Jung.

The government takes out people
who stress out citizens.

It's cathartic
and has the makings of a big hit.

You think it'll be a big hit too, right?

- Yes.
- You're right.

Then tell me why I have to work with you.

Excuse me?

Let me be honest with you.

If you work with me,
you won't get any credit.

I'll say I did it all myself.

All the good scenes,

all the crappy scenes,

and all the insults and praise
will be mine.

I hate sharing with others.

Anyone asking for "just one bite" is dead.

The ones I despise most are the bastards
who ask for "just one bite."

They won't get a single bite.

Why are you laughing? I'm serious.

If you do this,

you can't tell a single soul
that you worked on it,

and you can't do any interviews, period.

I'm the only one who'll do interviews.

Not even the actors
will do more interviews than me!

It'll be a big hit,

so all the credit is mine.

I've taken all the criticism so far,
so why share the credit?

I've still got four more writers
to meet after you,

but I haven't read anything they sent.

I don't read other people's writing.

Why? Because it's boring.

My writing is the most entertaining
in the world.

Either way, I'm going to take full credit,

and if I don't like your writing,
I'll fire you.

It's fine as long as you don't go around
saying you wrote it.

But you still have to work freaking hard.

You still want the job?

Why do you keep laughing? I'm serious.

Are you confident
you can keep your mouth shut

whenever this screenplay
comes up in conversation?

The second you say you wrote this,
I'll go ballistic and curse you out.

Are you up for it?

Director Park.

You're hilarious.

You're the funniest director
I've ever met.

I didn't order that.

Why are you standing there frozen?

Unfreeze!

Director Park, you're hilarious.

You're the funniest director
I've ever met.

Oh jeez.

Please knock before you come out.

What were you looking at?

Nothing, ma'am.

It's a joke.

Just kidding.

Tomorrow's interview is at 4 p.m.

I said it's at 4 p.m.

Why bother?
I'll go with the one I saw today.

We just have to work together, no?

But it should be a writer
who can actually help.

She did help.

Look, it doesn't matter.

I'm writing it alone anyway,
so let's just go with her.

You said the first line had a typo.

- What kind of writer does that?
- Are we writing a book?

Are we publishing it?

Who cares about typos?

We just need ideas.

Does she have ideas?

I'm sure she does.

I said I'll work with her.

Isn't that enough?

You're the funniest director
I've ever met.

- Hey, what's up?
- Where are you?

I came out for a bit. Why?

I wanted to ask you what Eun-a's up to.

What for?

I sent her my revised draft about…

nine and a half hours ago.

But there's no word.

Are you scared?

I pulled an all-nighter,
so I should be sleeping, but I can't.

I sent it, but looking at it again,
it's not great.

Hey, if Mr. Choi catches her reading it
during work hours, she'll get chewed out.

She'll probably get back to you tonight,
so just stay scared until then.

Oh jeez.

Please, please, please be a good read.

Please be a good read.

This is Writer Park Jeong-min.

She's a woman.

This is Team Leader Lee In-yeong
from the streaming company.

- Right.
- Hello, nice to meet you.

Thank you.

I'm so relieved
you found a writer so quickly.

We worried it might've been impolite
to suggest a co-writer to you.

Oh, it wasn't impolite.

It was rude.

We just want to produce good work quickly.

Did you hear that?
We have to write quickly.

Jeez, we're not a factory
that can churn out writing quickly.

I hear this is your first time co-writing.

I hope you two work well together.

I think co-writing is great.

I'm going to keep doing it from now on.

I spend more time playing games
than I do writing.

But I have to be careful.

"Should I play a round or not?"

There's pressure to always look
fully absorbed in your work.

You didn't play a single round today.

But I did.

I played a round in the bathroom.

Hey, I'm heading out first.

See you tomorrow.

- We're leaving now.
- Goodbye.

WEATHER MAKER
BY HWANG DONG-MAN

I'll read it carefully.

Let's not do this in our next life.

It isn't worth doing.

After working your ass off writing,

you're on pins and needles,
like a kid waiting to be punished.

Back in the day, it wasn't so agonizing

for people in the arts.

They just lived the way they were born.

Geniuses?

They're not geniuses for being impressive.

They were just born that way.

It wasn't about
someone being gifted at this or that.

Everyone just lived naturally,
the way they were born.

I've got no talent, but some strange urge
led me to this line of work,

and now I'm going through hell.

We should leave art

for the geniuses to do.

And leave studying for smart people.

I'd be writing my ass off
instead of sitting around.

Hey, what am I supposed to write
when I've got nothing?

Should I string together the alphabet?

Hey, why don't you give us
something like this too?

Instead of this crap!

Look at you, bringing out the fancy stuff
for your special guest.

Who's here?

Oh Jeong-hui.

What? Oh Jeong-hui?

She was probably terrified

that her biological daughter
might turn up.

Rumor has it she doesn't see her at all.

We don't know
whether she doesn't or she can't.

Have you worked with Oh Jeong-hui?

- I have.
- Right.

- One month?
- One month is enough to read someone.

Even one day is enough.

When I was a PA on the directing team
for Dogs and Cats,

we used to drink vending machine coffee.

Whenever I heard coins jingle,
I'd stand up right away.

Why? Because getting coffee
was the PA's job.

The second I heard coins jingle,
I'd jump up like Pavlov's dog.

That day,

I heard coins jingle and jumped up.

Then I saw Oh Jeong-hui

counting out coins in her hand

as she walked out.

She actually went out
and got her own coffee.

I fell for her right then.

That's the sort of thing
a PA on set falls for.

I thought,

"When I get older,
I'll take care of my own needs too."

"I'll never have someone else to do it."

You know why she does that?

She enjoys it.

The attention, that is.

"Hey, it's Oh Jeong-hui!"

That's why she goes everywhere herself.

Pharmacy, grocery store, you name it.

That's just your cynical way
of seeing things.

If I hadn't quit like that back then…

I'd at least be able to
exchange greetings with her by now.

Hello.

Oh, that's okay.

WEATHER MAKER
BY HWANG DONG-MAN

Hello.

I emailed it to you already.

You didn't receive it?

I'm actually in a meeting right now.

I'll have that ready
by the end of the year.

They said the fifth revision
will be ready for you to review

by the end of next month.

Hello.

I'm not sure if you remember me,

but my name is Hwang Dong-man,
and I worked on the directing team

for Dogs and Cats.

Is that so?

I'm sorry,
but I don't remember you at all.

Right.

I'm not surprised.

The bastard went inside the room!

What room?

The one Oh Jeong-hui is in!

Go drag him out of there right now!

Hurry!

- Oh, whatever. That crazy bastard.
- Hey!

You probably don't remember me
because I quit after a month,

but what I regretted most about quitting

was not getting to watch your acting.

The way you could
instantly raise the intensity,

throw yourself into the role,
and slip into character.

I watched from the set,
holding my breath and sweating.

I couldn't even breathe
because I thought it might distract you.

As soon as the director said, "Cut!"

and you finally let out your breath,

I found myself doing the same.

I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
to watch a legendary actor perform,

and it led to a moment of enlightenment.

I had only understood
film and acting in theory,

but you made it clear what they truly are,
right in front of my eyes.

And that feeling

has stayed with me ever since.

Thank you.

You once looked at a screenplay and said,

"The writing doesn't close in on me."

"Close in."

Hearing you say a phrase I've only heard
in the context of close-quarters combat

really opened my eyes.

"Close in" could only come from someone
who acts with their whole body.

Even now,

I ask myself,
"Is my writing closing in on me?"

"Or am I just sitting here
overthinking it?"

That became
a major guiding principle for me,

and I always measure myself against it.

I haven't heard that in a while.

"Close in."

I said it often back in the day.

Yes.

Though it was just a month,

I learned so much
from simply observing you from a distance.

So I really wanted to tell you

that someone you don't even remember

has been living by the words you once said

as if they were
a guiding principle in his life.

I really wanted to say that.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What films have you done?

I suddenly want to watch them.

I haven't…

I haven't been able to debut yet.

Well, I'm sure you will soon.

By the way, why did you quit back then?

Did you get a better job offer?

Do you remember…

when we stopped filming for a few days…

to remove an odor?

Yes, that's right.

I really had to relieve myself,

so I had no choice
but to use the bathroom on set.

Unfortunately, the toilet in the bathroom

was merely a prop
placed directly on the floor.

I had no idea

because I was a newbie.

I considered picking it up
and running with it,

but it was open at the bottom,

so I couldn't.

I was in my twenties and very shy,
so I had no choice but to run away.

Despite knowing the cliché
that the missing person is the culprit,

I had no choice but to run.

I sometimes think my debut

would've come much sooner

if I hadn't made that mistake.

As your biggest fan,

I'm putting aside my embarrassment

to make this confession

and to make a fresh start.

Also,

I sincerely congratulate you

on your comeback

after your setback.

Now,

if you'll excuse me.

What the heck? Why are you here?

I thought you were banned.

The ban's been lifted.

Lifted?

What did he say?

Just that he's a fan.

That crazy bastard.

There are always guys like him, you know.

People who stay on the sidelines
but act as if they belong.

He still hasn't debuted after 20 years
and is just hanging around.

Darn, it was nice not seeing him around.

Welcome.

Let's go.

Don't let anyone find out
that the poor kid Oh Jeong-hui abandoned

is actually me.

I won't let anyone find out either.

Here.

I'd like to ask for your help
with casting.

Casting?

Yes.

"Knock knock knock"?

What kind of title is this?

The title must grab the actor's attention.

The screenplay is good.

It's well put together.

It's by Director Ma Jae-yeong,
who won the production funding grant.

His top choice is actor Noh Kang-sik.

He's greedy for a newbie, isn't he?

We're doing this on a government grant,

so we can't work
with a big company like Choi Film,

but if you help us,
I promise I'll make it up to you.

I'm counting on you to put in a good word.

Move on from projects like this.

How long are you going to keep doing
government-funded projects?

You have 20 years of experience.

Do you really want to
live off government money?

Yes, well,

I have to make a living somehow.

That's why you need to do
what makes money,

not what's good.

They say amateurs go for what's good,

and pros go for what makes money.

Isn't it time for you to turn pro, Ms. Ko?

Come on, Pro Ko.

Filmmakers act like starving
is some kind of badge of honor.

I'll pass this on,

but this is the last time.

Do what makes money, all right?

Why is Hwang Dong-man coming here again?

He's come to his senses.

I'll believe it when pigs fly.

Nothing you do meets my approval.

- You're leaving?
- I'm heading out.

- Goodbye, sir.
- See you.

See you.

Jeez, it's pouring.

Take it with you.

Okay, thanks.

Get home safely.

You know…

I can tolerate a guy sleeping around,
but not acting superior.

And this guy keeps acting superior.

Who do you mean?

I'm heading home.

- Take it easy.
- Yes, ma'am.

I'm off.

- See you.
- Okay.

Is it that serious?

It's okay. Please speak freely.

I'll accept anything you say.

I'll brace myself and make sure

my face doesn't go blank
while listening to you.

Ready.

Action!

Why are you so drunk?

Because I'm scared.

Why? It was great.

I cried

while reading it.

I came running to give you a hug.

So why are you scared?

Oh gosh, I thought…

Are you serious?

The day's over, so let's drink!

Make way! Jang Mi-ran is coming through!

- So where are we…
- What?

Hwang Dong-man!

- Director Hwang!
- Mi-ran!

- How have you been?
- I've been great.

- Well, I…
- Enjoy your time.

- Shall we…
- Oh my.

- Hello, Mi-ran.
- Hello, Director Lee.

- Gosh, you don't have to.
- Sorry?

- Mi-ran!
- Oh, you too, Director Park?

Why? What is it, Director Park?

- My dear director!
- My dear actor!

All right, let's drink!

- Let's drink!
- Let's drink!

Here comes the wave!

Hey!

Fill your glass! One more time!

- Sounds good!
- Come on, one more shot!

- Let's go!
- The wave started!

Here it comes!

Hey, that's not fair!

Mi-ran, why aren't you drinking?

You have to drink!

Why aren't you drinking?

If a scene looks well-written to me too,

I go really hard on everyone
and do multiple takes.

But if a scene looks bad to me,

I shoot it quickly.

I just rush through it

before anyone catches on
that it's not good.

Ready.

Action, cut, okay!

Cut, okay! Cut, okay!

Cut, okay! Cut, okay! Cut, okay!

My goodness.

By the way,

did you know

there's a Dong-man in every class?

The Dong-man
of the freshman class of 2008,

the Dong-man
of the freshman class of 2009.

They call the most problematic student
in that class year "Dong-man,"

and there's always one every single year.

There are Dong-mans in kindergarten too.

They argue about who's closer to whom.

They're all fighting hard
against their worthlessness too.

- No regrets!
- What did I know?

So I went searching for it.

I searched and searched,
and even checked an English style guide.

I'll never forget the first sentence
on the first page.

"If you're not writing about sex,

it'd better be really good."

- Come on, how do you beat sex?
- How…

Exactly. How do you beat that?

You can't.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I wonder what it feels like
to call Ms. Oh Jeong-hui your mom.

Shit?

Shit.

She thinks she'll go down in history.

Wouldn't she, though?

No, she won't.

Everyone thinks
going down in history is easy,

but no one ever does,
no matter how hard they try.

Wherever I go,
I need to stand out the most.

But you get on my nerves.

You know you're pretty, right?

So why do you dress carelessly?

Are you dressed properly?

No, you're not.

When I was in elementary school,

school life grew more difficult,

so I deliberately
left my pencil case at home.

And every day,

I asked if I could borrow a pencil.

I didn't know why I did that at the time,

but I found out when I got older.

I was trying to reduce my problem

to just being the annoying kid
who borrowed pencils…

because I was afraid
they'd find out my real problem.

So that's why

I dress carelessly.

Is that the same as me speaking bluntly?

You know you've got a weird talent, right?

You have this ability

to bring people back down to earth.

I'm always floating around

and going all over the place when I talk,

but when I'm with you,

I gracefully…

come back down to earth.

I won't let it happen today, though.

Let's go for round two!

- No! No more soju!
- Let's go!

- Let's go for round two!
- Round two!

I can't… I can't go to karaoke.

Are you going?

No karaoke, right?

- No singing.
- No one's going home tonight!

- She said no one's going home tonight!
- No one!

- We're going to drink more!
- Come on!

Ms. Lee!

Ms. Lee, it's this way!

Oh, I don't drink,

so I'll take my car and meet you there.

Hey, that woman's getting away.

Let's take her car!

- Let's take her car!
- Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Where are we going?

Come on, let's go!

Yeong-su!

Can I come in?

- Can I come in?
- Why, of course!

- Can I come in?
- Please go in!

Come on!

- Let's go!
- Yeong-su's trying to slip out!

- It's 150,000 won for a set menu.
- We're definitely having squid.

Ma'am! Two large squid platters, please!

You can't have squid.

- Just have rockfish.
- But I see them over there!

They're too expensive.

I put a few in there to lure customers.

How expensive can it be? It's just squid!

Two large squid platters!

One squid costs 30,000 won.

Then give us the rockfish, please!

Hey, the customers are leaving.
Let's quiet down!

You quiet down first!

You're so loud.

This is the first time I've ever woken up
excited to go to a meeting.

The thought of meetings used to feel like
a heavy weight on my heart.

I never knew work could be so much fun.

- Where's the squid?
- Don't do that.

Have you had enough to drink?

I like all old movies.

Movies nowadays are the most boring.

With old films,
even the ones labeled as flops

are pretty decent
once you start watching them.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Maybe I'm just nostalgic for the past,

but it makes me feel good
when I see signs for tailor shops

and electronics repair shops in movies.

Do you want to hear an interesting story?

It feels like

we're here in the moment, right?

But actually,

we're just reminiscing.

- Our lives have already ended.
- Okay.

We're 99 years old,

lying in bed,

reliving the times we miss

just before we die.

What we're seeing right now

is a scene from our memories

that we relive just before we die.

I think I get it.

So right now…

is this my memory or yours?

For some reason,
I feel comfortable being with you today.

It always showed

"anxious" or "uneasy" when I was with you.

See this? It's green.

This means you don't hate me.

My emotions are controlled
by the other person.

If they like me, I'm relieved.

If they don't, I'm anxious.

I'm at the mercy
of other people's emotions

because I soak them up like a sponge.

Knock it off.

It's cramped here. Stay still, will you?

Come on, guys.

- Jeez, get off me! What are you doing?
- Seriously?

- For goodness' sake!
- Are you kidding me?

I'm so sick of these two.

This is nice.

This is great!

We have to be
Zorba the Greek at the beach!

It's been forever!

- Dance, dance, dance, yeah.
- Come on, my boy!

To the left first! Here we go!

- One, two!
- One, two!

Step forward!

Again, step forward!

Let us join!

All right!

- All right!
- Let's go!

What a bunch of morons.

Hey, he figured out the ending.

Yeong-su, that's it!

Don't make any more revisions!

I feel like I'll relive this memory
before I die.

Am I really reminiscing right now?

Let's get going!

I can't read your handwriting.

We should watch the sun rise before we go.

After all, we came all the way
to the East Sea.

- Let's watch it before we go!
- Let's do that!

The sun won't rise for another few hours.

We can just grab coffee
at a convenience store and wait.

Just tell me already!

Who likes who exactly?

This energy doesn't come from stamina.

No one our age has this kind of stamina.

Who goes for second and third rounds,
and ends up at a beach at our age?

Clearly, someone likes someone here,

and I'm the sacrificial lamb.

So tell me who it is.

I like Hwang Dong-man.

I like Hwang Dong-man.

Was that a buzz?

And you like me too…

AWKWARD

Huh?

What do you mean "awkward"?

Tell me!

I like…

Ms. Byeon Eun-a.

If I catch any of you texting each other,
you're dead.

And of course, you just stop instantly.

I mean, seriously? "Awkward"?

Why feel awkward?
Did I ask you to like me back?

Who says we can only like one person?
Why are people so narrow-minded?

Byeon Eun-a.

Is that what you think too?

Is it right for him to feel awkward
because I said I like him?

I'd be thrilled if someone I like
said they liked me.

Wouldn't you?

- I would.
- Exactly!

So how could you feel awkward?

Huh? Hey, mister!

Are you sleeping?

- In a situation like this?
- Yeong-su, wake up.

Wake up.

He hasn't slept these past few days.

How could he sleep when I'm so pissed off?

"Awkward"? Are you kidding me?

What the heck is going on?!

Hit the brakes! The brakes!

My wish is to die of old age.

Not from agony,

not from humiliation.

I want to die of old age.

Go sleep inside.

You know…

I can always tell
whether someone's really asleep

or just pretending.

So why are you pretending to sleep?

Just because.

I'm tired.

Step away.

Step away
from Director Lee Jun-hwan's film.

Production costs
will be at least 20 billion won.

What kind of producer debuts
with a 20 billion won film?

Start with something small
and build up your experience.

You can work on a big one next time.

I'm the one who set this in motion,

and I cast Jang Mi-ran.

Didn't you get a paycheck?

Did you work for free?

If you want a stake in this,
work as a freelancer.

You've got some nerve.

You haven't even produced anything,

and you think you can handle
a 20-billion-won project?

Do you know what investing is?

Have you ever worked with a VC?

Do you know anything about camera models,
budgets, or how many you need?

Of course, you don't.

Was it Ms. Oh Jeong-hui's request

to kick me off the project?

What do you take me for, a lackey?

Do I look like someone who takes orders
and acts on them?

Choi Film is my company,
and it's my money!

Ms. Oh Jeong-hui would like to see you.

I'll be waiting in the car near Choi Film.

You told me not to let anyone find out,

so how does it make any sense
that you're getting close to Mi-ran?

If you decided to change your name
and live as a different person,

you never should've
stepped into this world.

It was Dad's world too.

A place he walked away from
without any respect.

I wondered what the big deal was
with the people here.

Turns out, they're nothing special.

They have nothing but elitist attitudes

and are painfully old-fashioned.

Is that why you're seeing a guy like that?

Out of pity for your dad?

I know why you find him appealing.

He's wild and unruly,

like a half-grown boy.

But he has potential, right?

See for yourself if he really does.

The most dreadful thing in the world
is an incompetent man.

An incompetent man
is nothing more than a castrated male.

So tell me.

Are you satisfied
with your competent husband?

When I look at the streets,

I don't see people walking.

I see masses of emotion walking around.

You can see their complete emotional state

in every step they take
and every expression they make.

That's why I don't see them as people

but as masses of emotion.

Do you know what mass of emotion you are?

A mass of contempt.

Have you ever looked at someone
sitting across from you without contempt?

You find everyone pathetic,

and you don't like anyone.

After leaving
your pathetic husband and child,

you replaced them
with a shiny new husband and child.

So isn't it about time
you let go of that contempt?

But I guess something inside you
is still missing.

NO ONE COMES INTO YOUR LIFE BY MISTAKE

I contacted an agency to see
if they could look up Byeon Si-on online.

They found a file from your high school

that listed your guardian as "Ga Su-ja."

EMERGENCY CONTACT LIST

NAME: BYEON SI-ON
GUARDIAN: GA SU-JA

- Here you go.
- Thank you.

Thank you. Have a good day.

It's a unique name, so it'll be easy
for people to track her down.

The file has been deleted,

but someone might've seen it already,

so you should move out of that house.

This is a brand-new
studio apartment in Gangbuk.

It's fully furnished,
so you just have to move in.

And this is a cash card.

The PIN is the last four digits
of your phone number.

Let me know
if you don't like living there.

I'll find another place.

I'll even buy you one if you want.

You said you wouldn't let anyone find out

that you're actually the poor,
little Byeon Si-on.

So just move out.

You're embarrassed

that I live in a place like that

with my step-grandmother.

Yeah, it's embarrassing.

It's embarrassing,
and I'm bound to get criticized.

No one would care
if you lived with your dad there.

But it's a different situation
with him gone.

I wish I had been born
from a bamboo shoot.

It would've been so nice

to have been born out of thin air,

with no need for sperm, eggs,
a mother, or a father.

Just know this.

It's not your fault
I didn't turn out better.

But I'm going to be really successful.

But when I imagine myself doing well,

I get pissed off
thinking about you showing up…

smiling and clinging to me.

A mother rejecting a child
for not being good enough is one thing.

But a mother who clings
to a successful one like a leech…

is even worse.

So don't ever

act like…

we're close.

Help me.

MS. BYEON EUN-A

The person you are trying to reach
is unavailable…

WE ARE ALL TRYING HERE

This screenplay is insane.

Keep a room open tonight.

Noh Kang-sik will be coming.

Make sure Dong-man stays away
from Agit today.

Why are you refusing the money
and the house?

Would it be okay if I registered
my grandma's address at your place?

- Who's the director again?
- Nice to meet you.

When someone does well,
I really feel sick to my stomach.

Don't ruin something
someone poured everything into.

Let's produce this ourselves.

We'll take it from here.

The director said he'd work with me.

I did it because nobody else can!

I did it because everyone's afraid
of a piece of trash like him!
