Why am I on this path standing here?

Is this really my path?

At the end of this path

Will my dream come true?

I want to confidently say this is my path

Believe it, and never turn back...

- Hey, hey. - Without regret

Do you think...

you're walking a straight path right now?

Why would you say that?

Are you looking down on me because I got fired?

No, that's not it.

Where are you going? This path you're on, where does it lead?

The same path as you.

What?

I'm saying I'll make a movie with you.

- What am I dreaming? - Hey, hey.

- Wait a minute. Wait. - For whom is the dream for?

At the end of this path, my dream

My goodness.

Joo Yi Jae.

What's the point of living? What's the point?

Gosh.

Ian.

What are you doing?

- Someone's outside. - Ian, let's go get some breakfast.

In Wook.

What's wrong? My goodness.

It's cold.

- Gosh. - Gosh.

What was that?

Are you in there?

You're really something else.

- Hey, man, I'm taking a shower. - Go ahead.

You must be taking a pretty wild shower.

It'd be bad if you collapsed in there alone.

Bad for me,

and bad for the hotel.

It'd be awkward for you too, if that's the last anyone sees of you.

No,

you might be proud of it.

That's right.

See you at the lounge.

What are you thinking?

- I don't know where to look. - Look?

Your eyes are puffy.

Hey, you...

If you're living with someone, you should've told me.

I did.

We're not living together.

- He's in the room next door. - Gosh.

Don't go. Wait.

Since it seems you don't remember what happened yesterday.

Wait.

Usually, in this kind of situation, the woman is the one who runs away.

- But I'm Joo Yi Jae. - Sounds like you rehearsed that.

How did I get here?

I remember saying I'd do the movie.

I need you to explain what happened after that.

Is that where you blacked out?

What?

I had no idea you were so forward.

Forward? Me?

What could I possibly have done that was so forward?

Yi Jae.

You put your house on the market.

What.

It might be a bit old, but you won't find a better layout.

It's south-facing, so it gets plenty of sun.

- Gosh, you must be the tenant. - Hello.

I spoke with the landlord. You said we could go ahead and look around.

And you even gave me the passcode. I'm so grateful.

I did?

Gosh, I've been running around all morning,

I was so eager to show you this place.

- Go on, take a look around. - I'm the one...

- Gosh, of course. - I regret.

Take a look over there and here as well.

- I like this place. - Right? I know. Come over here.

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Hello. - Hello. Hello.

Hello. Hello.

(Film screenwriting and directing contract)

(Film screenwriting and directing contract)

- Yi Jae. - Yes?

That seal...

Is it heavy?

A little.

I was the same way. At my first contract signing.

Then how about we look at it a different way?

This world...

It's not a place where you can just disappear without anyone knowing.

This story belongs to you.

You started it,

so you're the only one who can finish it.

You write it,

and you direct it.

And I'll be with you on that journey.

I will.

All the way to the end.

(Joo Yi Jae)

Bravo!

So, it finally begins.

It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Seo In Wook.

Hello.

So that the two of you can focus solely on writing the screenplay,

I'll do everything I can to support you.

- Gosh, thank you. - What about the writer's room?

Well... She...

doesn't have a place to live.

Hey, why would you tell him that?

So that explains why you were at the hotel.

- Pardon? - I saw shoes I didn't recognise.

I'm meeting you for the first time, Yi Jae, but your shoes...

were an old acquaintance.

- I'm sorry. - Nothing to be sorry for.

As for the writer's room,

I'm looking at a very quiet house in Bunam City.

This guy here keeps insisting on it.

I know it might be an inconvenience,

but just until the writer's room is set up,

please stay at the hotel.

Gosh, no, that's okay. I can just stay at a friend's place.

Gosh, no, I can't allow that. You need to be writing.

- You'd be comfortable at the hotel. - Gosh, okay.

Well, then, I look forward to working with you.

I look forward to working with you too.

Okay.

Make way. Dong Hyeon is here.

It really brings it to life.

Dong Hyeon, what took you so long?

It's because you have a great eye for these things.

Great, great. Right?

- PD Gyeong Sun Yeong? - Yes?

- I'm Seo In Wook. - I see.

- But it says Jaden here. - That's me as well.

I see. Okay.

But why is someone from the film company here to see me?

I'm here because Joo Yi Jae hasn't received her final payment yet.

Joo Yi Jae?

Wait.

And what's your relationship with her?

She just signed a contract with our company.

In a way, I have you to thank for that.

I was in the middle of...

desperately trying to get Yi Jae to sign with me.

- Still, this needs to be settled. - What? What contract?

And what's there to settle?

It seems there's been some kind of administrative error.

Let me look into it, and I'll get back to you.

Gosh, no. That's all right.

You're going to handle that tedious task yourself?

I heard you find even your own work to be quite a hassle.

Gosh. This is ridiculous. Is that what Joo Yi Jae is telling people?

Gosh, it looks like she's holding a grudge and spreading false rumours.

I'm not like that. You're barking up the wrong tree.

Violation of the standard contract, making her be your driver,

do your editing, clock in for you, and attend your meetings,

on top of giving unfair work orders to a temp,

you also wrongfully terminated her.

My company's legal team is very competent.

So as not to inconvenience you,

we've neatly organised everything for you to review.

What are those papers?

This...

Just think of this as a warm-up until you get your own studio.

- Don't push yourself too hard. - No way.

In this amazing work environment,

my extinguished artistic soul...

is being rekindled.

(One hour later)

I guess it has been out for a while.

Let's fan those embers.

For now, how about we watch some movies?

References. Right, they're important.

(Ko Sang Yeon)

He is never on time.

Here he comes now.

Director, Sang Yeon isn't ready yet. If you could just wait a moment...

He's already late.

- Why should I wait? - I'm sorry. It's my fault.

Gosh, you always accommodate Oh Ha Na's schedule,

so what's the big deal if I'm a little late?

I can get ready during the rehearsal.

Just get some kid who looks like me to stand in.

Hey, you there. You!

- You in the white shirt. Come here. - Hey, go on. Go.

- Me? - Here, Scene 26.

You'll be my stand-in for the rehearsal.

Ha Na, you're actually early for once.

Cut. Okay. Gosh, that was really good.

It's just the rehearsal, but I want to use this take.

How long have you been acting?

We should work together on my next project.

Thank you.

You've got the look, and you're great at expressing emotions. Right?

Hey, you. Come with me.

Go on.

Gosh, why is he always like this? Seriously... There he goes again.

His movie completely bombed,

- so he's on edge. - Hey, what else is new?

- I know, right? - Why's he taking it out on him?

What's this about?

- You were laughing at me? - No, I wasn't.

What? Because I'm an actor...

they call box-office poison, you think I'm a joke too?

- No, sir. - I can tell by your eyes.

You must've thought this was your big chance, right?

Who do you think you are, trying to take my place?

That wasn't my intention.

You're my senior, and you're the one who dumped this on me.

Senior? What makes you think I'm your senior?

That's enough, Mr. Ko Sang Yeon.

Mr. Ko Sang Yeon?

This guy's got some nerve. Lower your gaze.

- If you're done, I'll be on my way. - Look at this jerk.

Who do you think you are, acting so high and mighty?

What, did you find yourself a sugar mama?

Who's got your back?

I do. What are you going to do about it?

- Has she lost her mind? - Only a dirty mind would think.

What's this?

So you two have something?

That's right, we are. Who are you to mess with my friend?

Friend? Oh Ha Na, you don't have any friends.

You didn't even go to school.

What do you mean I didn't go to school?

Did you not see "Ha Na's High School?"

- You only worked on filming days. - It was going to school, not work.

- If there were cameras, it's work. - Gosh, please. And you?

If you were such a model student,

why are there many stories of you from high school?

It seems your friends really held a grudge.

- What? - Right. They weren't your friends.

They were the victims of your bullying.

I already apologised for that.

It's true what they say. A leopard never changes its spots.

You should've left your bullying days behind in school, Sang Yeon.

I only graduated from middle school. I dropped out.

Like that's something to be proud of, you jerk.

Let's go, my friend.

Hey. Get back here. Where do you think you're going?

Come here.

Gosh. Hot, it's hot.

That jerk. She didn't put it out all the way. Hey, Manager.

Manager, report her. It's hot. Gosh. Hey!

(The Classic)

Then, allow me to escort you.

Let's pretend that building over there is a shelter and run for it.

One, two, three.

(Gyeongseong Love Song)

What? Why did I close my eyes?

You want me to keep going?

No, that's not it.

No, but...

Gosh!

Hey, sleep tight.

- Okay, sleep well. - You too.

Okay.

Wait, why is he sleeping here?

Not coming in?

(In Wook)

No, I'm not coming in.

- Good morning. - Good morning.

Looks like you didn't sleep well.

Right.

Eat up.

Is there coffee?

(S1. Wolhwajeong)

Think.

(S1. Wolhwajeong, Night)

(I can't think of anything. Absolutely nothing.)

(The only thing I can think about is how I can't think of anything.)

Have you eaten?

(You worked hard today.)

(Let me know if you need anything.)

(The weather is great today. Do you want to take a walk?)

(Do you want to get lunch together later?)

(Are you up?)

Gosh. After I retired,

I feel so empty. You know?

I'm still in one piece. Why did they force me out?

Tell me about it.

Once the younger guys start climbing the ladder, you're old news.

These young jerks today, they're all just...

But that's not always the case.

- Unemployment is through the roof. - Right.

Apparently, a lot of them just bum around.

The problem with kids these days is they've got it too easy.

Hey, stop. Behind you...

It's not that I'm bumming around. I'm just deeply troubled.

Hey, Yu Geon. You know that event we talked about?

Did they find someone for it?

I thought you said you were too busy writing.

Yu Geon, will you be in my movie?

You know I hate that more than anything.

And if you're thinking of offering me even a small part, please don't.

- Hello. - Okay, I figured as much.

Don't worry. A small role or whatever,

I can't even play my own part.

Rather than stare at my desk and not write a single word,

I came out here to make at least some money.

What does Su Bin say?

I'm avoiding him because I'm scared of what he'll say.

What am I going to do?

I keep telling myself, "It's no big deal," but I can't calm down.

Just looking at the blinking cursor makes my heart pound like crazy.

And most of all, I'm afraid of disappointing Su Bin.

That's what I'm most afraid of.

I guess you want to impress him.

Well, good luck.

Joo Yi Jae.

Joo Yi Jae.

What are you doing? Get in.

Have you seen the comments?

(Oh Ha Na and Ko Sang Yeon seem to have a terrible relationship.)

Do you think the viewers are idiots?

They're saying it's obvious you two don't get along.

Kicking him in the shins? Burning you with a cigarette?

Do I really have to hear that kind of nonsense from Hyeon Gu?

And who is Hyeon Gu?

The CEO of Ko Sang Yeon's agency.

Please, stop getting into pointless fights with Ko Sang Yeon.

Knowing how to handle your co-stars is a skill too.

Gosh. How come every time you're in a romantic comedy,

you're at war with your male leads?

They try to eat me alive, so I have to stop them.

- What? - They act like kings.

That's annoying.

But you know what's even more annoying?

That to everyone else, I probably look just as bad as they do.

So what? You could all just enjoy life up in the clouds together.

Why do you insist on coming down to earth?

And Ha Na, saying that on our way to a luxury brand event...

Isn't that a little hypocritical?

- Director Kang. - Yes.

- Drop me at the next intersection. - The next intersection. Gosh...

- There. Right there. - We're in the far lane... I'll try.

Hello. From Boers. Would you like to try a sample?

Thank you.

Hello, from Boers. Would you like to try a sample?

Thank you.

Hello, from Boers...

Why aren't you giving me one?

- Pretend you're glad to see me. - But I'm not.

Are you ever going to learn some manners?

Depends on how you behave.

I'm so glad to see her though.

What's this all about?

Are you his manager?

- You? My manager? - No, the other way around.

- Gosh, me? - That's a little casual, isn't it?

And what you just said wasn't?

For someone who's so fluent in Korean,

I wonder why you only babbled in English at the audition.

That was in the US. This is Korea.

Yu Geon, are you and the director friends?

No. You can tell he's older than me.

We were just neighbours for a while when we were kids.

Neighbours?

For a while?

Never be friends with him.

- Ha Na! - Ha Na!

What's your relationship with her?

Curious?

- Yes. - I'm a director, she's an actress,

so what do you think our relationship is?

We're not "neighbours," that's for sure.

Hey, wrong way.

How would you know where I was going?

Just buy one for me.

- Will you give me a discount? - Of course.

All right.

You all love Rube, don't you?

- Yes. - You love Rube, don't you?

- Yes. - Who loves it? Who loves it?

If you love Rube, make some noise.

All right, next up...

is the moment you've all been waiting for, the lucky draw.

That's what's next up.

For this lucky draw, our brand ambassador, actress Oh Ha Na,

will be drawing the winners herself. And now, let's bring...

actress Oh Ha Na up to the stage. Come in, Ms. Oh Ha Na.

Yes. It's not often I get a chance...

to meet my fans this up close,

so I hope we all have a wonderful time today.

Who will be our lucky winner?

- It's number 38. - Number 38.

That's me. Number 38!

Next is number four.

Number 4. Who's number 4? Number 4. Congratulations.

And now for our last winner, our last one,

- our last, last... - The Last one.

Who wants this one? Raise your hand. Let me see your hands. Hands.

Gosh, my goodness.

I'm so sorry.

- Who are you? Do I know you? - One is what I wanted to get you,

and the other is what I was pressured into buying.

- Now I see why he did that. - No, I'm asking, do you know me?

I know who you are, and I know why you're here.

You fool. This is when you should be getting angry.

You finally worked up the courage.

You must have been frustrated when things didn't go your way.

You must have been terrified.

But that's perfectly normal.

I get scared too, thinking this might all just be...

my own selfish ambition.

I constantly wonder if I'm just making things harder for you.

But we're trying to do something great here.

Yi Jae.

Creating something magnificent...

isn't what makes it great.

The fact that we see it through to the end,

that's what makes it great.

We're going to the studio tomorrow.

Think it over.

Whether you're going to see this through with me or not.

I'm leaving.

Creating something magnificent isn't what makes it great.

The fact that we see it through to the end,

that's what makes it great.

Okay.

Su Bin!

It is you, right?

Gosh. That was close. I've been looking all over for you.

You're late.

The trunk.

Okay.

I'll get it.

- Let's go do something great. - Okay.

Gosh.

This is so nice, right? It's amazing.

It really does.

- But I'm fine with anything. - I know this really great place.

Bibimbap. As long as it's not bibimbap.

- Let's get something else then. - Gosh.

Hey, do you remember this place? Over there.

Oh, there?

- You don't remember, do you? - Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?

Hey, you...

- Mom. - What?

What do you want me to be, Mom?

A decent human being.

- Same here. - Gosh.

- Stop joking around. - Whatever.

Am I asking what's for dinner?

At least with dinner, I can choose what I want.

But I can't get my own kids to do what I want.

A treasure? My pride and joy? Please. Don't make me laugh.

That's harsh to say to your daughter who just got fired.

You were always struggling anyway. I was hoping you'd quit.

It's for the best.

It's not like that was the only place you could work.

You can make a living just by going to festivals all over the country.

Just go buy a car. Stop taking the bus everywhere.

Mom.

I came back here to write.

What did you say?

I'm going to try making movies again.

I thought you were over this, but here we go again.

How many times do I have to tell you?

That kind of thing is for rich people.

People who live without a care in the world.

So is that why Woo Su Bin made it and I didn't?

Exactly.

And look, he even went to the US and became successful.

His father was against it, so he cut ties with him.

You can only have that kind of courage...

when you have something to fall back on.

No wonder I'm in this position. Forget it. I'll live my own life.

Don't tell me you're doing this because of Su Bin.

We already signed the contract. I'm going to work with him.

This girl... Are you out of your mind?

Is this some kind of joke?

You can't work with him. After everything he put you through?

Why? It was because he's rich and I'm poor.

What did he do wrong?

If what you say is true, I shouldn't have just gotten off the bus.

I should've left home, right?

I should've forgotten family and everything else.

I should have just lived my own life.

Hey, what's that supposed to mean?

Joo Yi Jae, come out. You little brat.

Come and eat.

(Interbank transfer from...)

(Jung Myung Ja, 100,000 dollars, Deposit)

Gosh! You scared me.

- When did you get here? - Early this morning.

Why?

Ran away.

What?

Anyway, our job is to adapt the original draft.

Taking a decade-old draft...

and viewing it with a modern perspective,

reconstructing it will be more complicated than you think.

To save time, we need to nail down the structure first.

So I broke it down into chapters...

- and then outlined the scene order. - Gosh, when did you do all this?

Whenever I had time at the hotel.

Gosh. And you called it a warm-up.

From now on, even if we revise dialogue or change the scene order,

this framework will hold up.

But are we really going to work like this? Word for word,

- sharing every comma and period? - Yes.

Really?

This is so embarrassing. It's too raw.

It's not a diary, so what does it matter? This is more efficient.

We can make adjustments as we go in real time.

Still, I'd rather polish and organise it before showing you.

Joo Yi Jae.

We're collaborating right now.

We need to write like one person as soon as possible.

So that later, we can't even tell who wrote what.

Okay. I'll try to catch up quickly.

We'll have meetings whenever either of us wants.

And let's try to eat together too. And we'll share our schedules.

Do you want to work out together too?

To be efficient.

No. Let's leave out the workouts, Director.

- Okay, let's get started. - Okay.

- I'll share the file first. - Okay.

Nan Yeong, acting aloof.

"Young master from a prestigious family."

"You're quite impatient, aren't you?"

Nan Yeong. Tries to pull away.

At that moment, Mu Gyeom...

grabs Nan Yeong's waist and pulls her in.

(At that moment, Mu Gyeom grabs Nan Yeong's waist...)

Mu Gyeom says,

"Is there a reason I shouldn't be in a hurry?"

"When your face shows you're so in love."

That's good.

What? You did nothing but work?

How could you only work? Aren't you nervous?

Gosh, I'm not nervous at all.

Hey, I'm Joo Yi Jae. I'm not a pushover.

This isn't about being a pushover. You get it?

When two grown adults live in the same house,

what genre do you think that is?

Usually, it's a romance.

Wait a minute.

I need to be careful not to get confused.

This isn't a matter of emotional connection.

It's a matter of the setup.

If you're stuck together in the same house,

and you're together all day,

feelings can develop where there were none,

and then your eyes start to wander, and then your heart follows.

What's there to say?

It leads all the way to the bedroom...

and becomes a steamy, R-rated romance.

Living together with that man, which all started with a contract.

It began innocently, when I just happened to take off his glasses.

But after that day, things spiralled uncontrollably...

Stop it, stop!

Come on, live in the real world. Okay?

Don't you dare act like this on your blind date. Got it?

What am I letting on?

That I'm pretty?

- Never mind. - I look like the star of a drama.

This should be enough to handle a sexy, intelligent man.

It'll be more than enough. I think I can do it.

Is anyone around you? You're saying such bizarre things.

People?

- There are. - Yes.

I've received your email. Thank you for your help.

I will share it again, if any issues come up.

Have a great day.

Thank you.

The doors are opening.

After you.

Thank you.

The doors are opening.

Excuse me.

Excuse us, excuse us.

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

What's this? You're wearing something nice.

- Who are you? - Gosh, don't worry.

- Laundry service. - What laundry...

- What? You speak Korean? - Of course.

Call me. I'll pay for the cleaning. Sorry.

I heard your parents are travelling the world right now, Sa Rang.

They're my ideal couple.

When I retire, I just want to spend the rest of my life...

with my loving wife, travelling the world together.

I see. You must like travelling.

I'm the type who travels whenever the mood strikes.

- Do you have any hobbies, Sa Rang? - Soccer.

Soccer?

Gosh, it's not common for a woman to like soccer.

I like it too. Who's your favourite player?

Son Heung Min? Lee Kang In? Hwang Hee Chan?

- I prefer playing to watching. - You play soccer...

- Why? - What?

No, no. I'm just worried you might get hurt.

If you were to get a scar on your legs,

I think my heart would break.

My nickname in the army was bomber.

Because I bombed the goal with so many scores.

I mean, I played in about 128 international matches,

scored 486 goals, and had about 211 assists.

But Sa Rang, you're a bit more...

athletic than I thought.

- After you. - Intelligent...

and sexy man.

Is there anything else you like besides soccer?

- Flower arranging or... - Men.

- Excuse me? - I'm a huge fan of men.

Well, that's music to my ears. I'm a huge fan of women, my...

I'm sorry, but I'm going to leave now.

- I'll take care of the bill. - Wait, Sa Rang, where are you...

To find a man.

But I thought the vibe was good.

I'm sorry, Mom.

- Hello. - Hello.

I'm looking for someone. Is there anyone at this hotel...

I'm sorry, but to protect our guests' privacy,

- we can't share personal... - I know, I know.

But could you just listen to the description?

He's about this tall.

He has neatly slicked-back hair, dark eyebrows, a straight nose,

and a jawline so sharp it could cut you. Gosh.

And his forearms.

But most importantly, when he speaks English,

this man has a sexy, deep voice.

Isn't a man like that staying at this hotel?

Could that be him over there?

- Thank you. - Yes.

That's him. Thank you.

Excuse me.

Do you want to go out with me?

Yes, baby.

Baby?

I'm so sorry.

Please pretend you didn't hear that.

Baby?

Are you crazy?

What?

Is the casting list ready?

Working on it. What about the first draft?

Within two weeks.

Someone's pouring her heart and soul into it right now.

Hey, I can tell just by your voice.

You're having fun, aren't you?

Leaving me all alone in this strange hotel.

- You seem to be doing fine? - What? You're still at the hotel?

I thought you were looking for a place to rent.

Rent in Seoul is too expensive.

I extended for another month. On your card.

- Thank you, sir. - Thank you.

What?

- You can do that? - I made sure of it.

It'll be there soon.

Hey...

(Paid In Full: 11,000 Dollars)

Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands... Gosh.

I'm seriously going to lose my mind.

(Kim A Hyeon, Team Leader at the event firm)

I'm sorry, Ms. Kim. I'm in the middle of something right now.

What? It's only for three hours.

Fine. I'll pay you triple.

I'm only making this offer because it's you, Joo Yi Jae.

I'm sorry, Ms. Kim.

I don't think I can make it this time.

I'm sorry.

(Power off)

Gosh.

Joo Yi Jae.

Is something not working out?

Let me see.

The distance between them gradually closes.

Their eyes meet and lock.

Their breaths mingle.

What are you hesitating for?

- What? - A kiss, obviously.

Don't you think it's about to happen now?

- Now? - Yes, now.

Nan Yeong is about to learn Mu Gyeom's true identity and...

Living together with that man, which all started with a contract.

It began innocently, when I just happened to take off his glasses.

So Mu Gyeom will...

What are you doing?

This is dangerous.

It's too dangerous to be here.

Okay.

Joo Yi Jae.

The phone is turned off, so you will be connected to voicemail.

You will be charged after the beep.

Yi Jae. Joo Yi Jae!

Hello, Ms. Joo Yi Jae.

My name is Ian Woo.

Because I'll never be able to forget you.

Yi Jae.

Don't you think it's about to happen now?

(Dream To You)

Since you were always in front of me, my eyes were drawn to you,

and I started thinking about you. That's all it was.

- You should go home. - I'm here, Su Bin.

You can tell she's the type who devours men.

You rolled up your sleeves and jumped in to help me,

so why are you running away from your own problems?

Why don't you come over here?

Should I keep you company? Or should I get drunk with you?

- Let's get drunk. - If you want to see your son,

you need to get better as soon as you can.

If you were so determined to cut family ties,

you should have gone far away.
