They look good together.

Look.

Even in couple photos,

they still have chemistry,

like they're actually a couple.

How old are you?

Acting like you know everything about love.

Hey,

do you have a partner?

- Hey! - Stop.

Do you really have a partner?

Stop it, Johnny.

At your age,

why are you starting to have a partner?

I don't have a partner.

I just ship Akin with Jin.

But this year,

I still don't know

who I'll vote for as The Sexiest Man.

Well,

if you don't know who to vote for,

you can vote for me.

If I'm going to vote for you,

I'd rather vote for myself.

You brat.

None for you.

Hey, that's mine!

Recently, Sigma Company

announced that one of the masterpieces of the late Maria,

the stage play Flower and Tear,

will be remade into a movie.

What does this mean, Jade?

Well.

This is really disrespectful, don't you think?

They're buying the rights right under the nose of the real grandson.

Is there any way

we can buy the rights back?

Looking at the current situation,

no matter how much we beg them,

- they will never give the rights back. - I'll do it.

Even if I have to kneel and beg,

I'll do it.

I heard that Sigma

bought the rights to Maria's play to make it into a movie.

What a coincidence!

Me and Akin were just thinking about making this movie too.

I guess it really is a coincidence then.

But it's a shame

that the movie rights are in Sigma's hands.

I apologize

for going ahead and making the movie before you.

But you have to understand,

right now,

people want to know about Maria's passing.

If I don't take the opportunity now,

I don't know when I'll get the chance.

No need to apologize.

Sigma is a big company

with enough funds to make this movie great.

Akin and I feel the same way.

But wouldn't it be better

if Akin joined in on making the movie too?

(Flower and Tear) (Written by Akin)

Since we have the same purpose in this matter,

I want to make this movie the best it can be.

Because it's a letter of memory

for me,

with my grandmother.

Therefore,

there's no one

more suitable to tell

this story than me.

Akin is the true grandson of Maria.

Just think about it,

if Akin is the lead actor in this movie and also writes the script,

how much more attention would the movie draw?

Don't you think

it's time for you to step aside?

I think the same thing.

I may not be the right person.

The character that your grandmother wrote for me back then

doesn't really reflect who I am now.

But if I'm not going to be in it,

may I ask for Jin

to be the lead actor in this movie?

Jin is Sigma's kid.

If Jin plays in this movie,

it will definitely benefit your company.

I just want you

to take the script about me and my grandmother

and make it.

Do you really think

that this will benefit our company?

My most valuable product

is turning into a bargain bin trash.

Plus, he is defiant, insubordinate,

and won't follow orders,

messing up my work.

All of this is

because of you.

But my situation with Akin

has nothing to do with the movie...

Please,

this movie

really matters to me.

If it matters that much,

then you both should break up.

Boss.

If you two think

that this kind of relationship

will benefit the work and business,

fine.

I also want to know

how society outside

will react

to two actors who are... what is it?

LGBT or

something?

I'm curious too.

I think right now, you two are

not in a position to negotiate anything with me anymore.

Just go back.

There's nothing more to discuss.

(Flower and Tear) (Written by Akin)

Jun.

I'm so tired.

So tired.

What should I do?

I don't want to give up.

But I don't want to cry anymore either.

Please don't give up now.

I'll be by your side.

You're not alone.

(Flower And Tear)

So frustrating.

Today, that kid...

he kept pestering me,

asking for the "Maria" script

to turn it into something else.

It's really annoying.

I don't even know

how far I'll be able to push

this golden-haired kid.

Lately, he's been getting really bold.

Back when I first entered the industry,

you managed to push me to where I am now.

It's not the same, though, you know, Judy. You know that.

These people are just so bothersome.

Judy.

This is the first time we will be announcing the results online

with The Sexiest Man of the Year 2023 award.

In less than twenty minutes, the voting will be closed.

The votes are flooding in real-time in my hands.

As everyone at home can see,

right now, the scores are piling up.

We'll need to quickly close the voting soon.

This time, we have four young men.

Let's wait and see

who will be The Sexiest Man of the Year.

Look at all these people.

Johnny! Johnny must win!

It's tied now.

Oh my god.

Let me check the time.

The studio has just informed me

only a few

seconds left.

Between Jin and Akin, who will be The Sexiest Man of the Year?

Hurry and vote before it hits ten!

Okay, the numbers are running now, everyone.

Are you ready?

Alright, let's count down together.

Akin.

The results are about to be announced.

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

Seven.

Six.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

It's a tie now.

Hey!

This is such a surprise, everyone!

I didn't expect it.

Not only is this the company's first time doing an online live stream,

but our award is also a big surprise! I'm sure everyone can see that.

Yes, Jade.

I'm watching it now.

And the person who has won The Sexiest Man of the Year award this year is...

We have

two winners this year!

Jin and Akin both won the title this year.

Congratulations!

(First time joint winner of) (The Sexiest Man of the Year)

Oh my god.

This is

really surprising.

But it's also very exciting and happy!

You again.

Why did you call me here?

What more do you want with Boss?

It seems like last time your agreement

with Akin didn't work out too well.

How about we try to have a frank conversation

like businesspeople today?

You must have seen the results of The Sexiest Man contest this year, right?

It seems that society outside isn't quite as you imagined.

To be honest,

I'm surprised too

that people have accepted them so much.

And since the results are like this,

someone with vision like you should know well

that if their names are in this movie,

it will only have a bigger impact.

I propose that Jin

take the lead role.

And I propose that Akin

try directing this movie.

Are you kidding?

Akin?

Even though Akin doesn't have experience directing a movie,

he is the most suitable

person to direct this film.

Because he is the real grandson of Maria.

If you read the script that Akin wrote,

you will see how well he expressed it.

I've read it.

Well,

it's acceptable.

And if one of my kid

is in this too,

I think

it could easily become a masterpiece for our company.

But when I do something,

I need to have confidence.

I need to be sure that our future at Sigma

will

be problem-free

and runs smoothly.

Do you have any proposals?

Akin, my proposal is,

I want you to make way for my kid,

and for you yourself,

to leave the acting industry.

If boss dares to destroy Akin's dream

I will quit the industry.

And I won't allow myself to be your tool again.

Do you dare to stake your own life like that?

Where does your confidence come from?

Well, isn't this place the one that taught me to be like this?

You guys invested in making me this famous.

My value is not insignificant.

Are you really willing to lose me?

Well, listen...

I...

can make a kid

famous.

You're not the first.

And you won't be the last either.

Making someone famous is

not that hard.

But it still takes time, right?

Would boss dare risk your own company like that?

Please, boss.

Touch.

What are you going to do?

Reconsider their offer once again, please.

Touch.

Stop.

In the past, no matter what boss and Ford

told me to do, no matter how dirty,

I would do it

to help Jin become more famous.

To help Jin follow his dream.

Just like you and Ford taught me.

You have been giving me these instructions all along, hasn't he?

- But today. - It's enough.

I know now that Jin

doesn't want this at all.

Jin is not happy doing this.

And I won't let this happen ever again.

Who do you think you are?

He's never been happy

- being here at all. - Enough, Touch.

Go, Touch.

- Go, Touch. - Listen to Jin's proposal again.

Go.

Okay.

Since today

you were going to speak with me,

as a businessperson, right?

If that's the case,

Akin,

I think you must understand

what my offer actually means?

You want me to choose, right?

Between acting

and love.

No matter how much I love acting,

but right now,

I have something I love even more.

The person who is most suited to play this role in the world

is Jin.

I will step aside.

I will quit acting.

I ask that Jin

be the lead actor in this film.

And I'll direct it myself.

I will be the one to help Jin

win the Best Actor award.

It seems that Akin is willing to sacrifice everything he has.

I hope you will consider this offer.

(Flower and Tear) (Written by Akin)

From now on, the hard work is on you.

Make sure you do it well.

Don't disappoint me.

He agreed to use your script.

Then let's go with the agreement.

Take a break from the industry.

Because you need to focus on making this movie instead.

I'm fine.

It's the best solution.

Sis.

Sis.

I did the bravest thing

that a small little twink

could ever do.

I'm not afraid of anyone, sis.

Tea's here, Kin.

- Thanks. - How is it going?

Actually,

I used to watch my grandmother perform this play

when I was a child.

But back then,

I was very young.

I don't remember anything.

I only remember that

the audience back then

were crying a lot.

But reading it again now,

I don't understand it at all, Jun.

It doesn't seem moving at all.

It's just

a simple story,

about a grandson and his Ma.

How does it feel?

To have won “The Sexiest Man Award” award together for the first time?

Actually,

winning this award

is not something new or surprising for me.

This is the second year in a row that I've won this award.

But it still feels like the first time.

But this year,

it feels a little different.

I just want to thank everyone who was involved

that made it possible for me to win this.

It feels like

I've reached a resting point

during a long journey.

It makes my journey feel more meaningful.

Which,

I couldn't

have discovered on my own.

Knowing your own goal from a young age is

a good thing.

But it also made me

not know at all

what the outside

world is really like.

Action!

Acting has never been in my mind.

It was never something I thought about.

I might be able to do it, but that doesn't mean

I can do it well.

Until I met someone.

Cut!

I think he saw the flower a bit too soon.

Jin.

Come here.

He made me feel like

I wanted to chase him.

Six out of ten.

You're not breathing properly.

Slow down.

Breathe slowly.

Delicate.

He made me feel like

my efforts

mean more than they ever have before.

One more time.

One more time.

Come.

Come quickly, the light is fading.

Jin.

Three.

Two.

One.

Action.

I've been an actor since I was young.

The experience I have

makes me very confident in my abilities.

Sometimes, maybe

it's even too much.

It made me forget that

what I can do,

if others try,

they can do it too.

Cut.

How many points?

Ten out of ten.

It made me

step back.

Look from a distance.

Take a break.

Reflect on myself.

And it made me realize that

this world

has other things I can learn

besides being an actor.

Actually, last year,

missing out on this position

did throw me off a bit.

I scored just a little less than Jin.

But it doesn't matter.

Because Jin really came on strong.

Come a little closer.

Come a little closer.

Can you make it look like you came together?

This year, he's back to claim his award again.

I just want to thank

all the fans who have supported both of us.

And I hope that

in the coming years,

no artist will

snatch the award away from us.

Hey, Narude.

Don't lose focus.

Just get it over with.

So we can leave.

You little devil.

It's Naru!

Just come here.

Stay on your mark for me.

It's looking great.

Besides all the fans,

I also want to take this opportunity

to thank

the people who have been taking care of me,

who have been pushing me.

It gets stranger every day, that thing in front of the car.

If it weren't for those people,

there wouldn't be Jin today.

And what's this thing here?

You better watch your mouth!

How could you called them "thing"?

This is Nong Kai Dum, you know..

I went to worship him along with the Nong Kai Yoi.

The master said that if you worship them together

you'll receive blessings a hundred times better than normal.

- Hey, you. - How to do it?

- Sathu. - Sathu.

(I'm coming back next month. Are you happy?)

Why should I be happy?

(Why should I care...)

(I missed that cigarette scent — 'My Bunny.')

Jun.

Come help pack up.

Jun.

Kin, come look at this.

Come quickly.

Today,

the sky is so beautiful.

I wonder if

it is already this beautiful.

But we've never really cared.

Maybe it's because of you, Kin.

Lame.

What are you going to do?

It must be because of you for sure.

You idiot.

Wooden Boy!

Wait a minute!

Wait, wait.

Not now.

Come here, come here.

No, no.

Be careful.

Stay still.

Stay still.

Let's break the house in together.

Wooden Boy, help!

Kin.

Do you know what day is it?

What...

What day?

You really don't remember?

I'm sad.

What day?

Anniversary.

It's the anniversary of when we first met.

Shoot!

Who would remember that?

By the way...

How many years has it been?

Three years.

That was fast.

Hmm.

Anyway...

I'll make sure to remember this day.

Kin...

Do you want to marry me?

Go win the Best Actor

award first.

I'll definitely win it.

Make sure you do.

I will.

(Best Actor of the Year) And the award everyone has been waiting for

has arrived tonight.

The Best Actor Award of the Year goes to...

Congratulations to...

Jin from the movie Flower And Tear.

Please welcome Jin.

Come up and prepare yourself.

(Best Actor of the Year, Jin from Flower And Tear)

This award

may not be

the first Best Actor award of mine.

But it's a reminder

that tells me

that my heart is no longer empty.

And it reminds me

how many people are supporting me behind the scenes.

Thank you to Producer Jade.

Thank you to the Flower And Tear team.

Thank you to everyone

who worked hard on this project.

Uh...

I almost forgot.

Thank you to Sigma as well.

For always looking after this kid for all these years.

Liar.

Thank you to everyone, really.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Can I have the mic again?

Sure.

Please hold on for me.

Sorry, everyone, for wasting your time.

But there's something important

that I need to tell one person first.

Until now...

I'm still not breathing properly.

I did it.

I'd like to

remind you of the promise.

Thank you.

Let's give him another round of applause.

He truly deserves this award.

Very talented.

(Just Married)

Hello.

I just got the rights to ‘Blood Wedding’.

Do you want to play in it?

Did you forget?

I've left the industry.

I didn't forget.

What's going on?
