Original subtitles

Seo Jeongeun?

That's me.

I'm Lee Yeongjo.

What can I do for you?

You know Yang Miryeon, right?

No.

What do you want?

What are you doing?

A person is dying and you don't know?

Who's dying?

My friend, Miryeon.

You took $10,000 saying

it was for a contract fee.

Bring her.

I came because she can't!

She took pills to die.

Come with me.

[Han Yugyeong]

[Episode 2]

What do you want?

Why aren't you answering your phone?

My phone?

This is my business card.

It's a different number.

I'm sorry about your friend,

but I think someone impersonated me.

I'm a movie producer.

Actors are managed by a different team.

You're the grandson of the chairman

of the Heaju Group.

I heard you know everything.

A rich man took money from

a young woman?

The company pays a deposit on

a contract, not the other way around.

Why would we take money from a new actor?

They said

the money was to make a profile.

For studio rental and filming.

A photographer took these?

What makes me really mad is

that it's all false.

The education and experience are all false.

What will I do?

Go to the police.

But, if the con man doesn't give back

the money, you won't get it.

What?

I won't ask you to apologize

for slapping me.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

It looks like you want to be an actress,

but you shouldn't start like that.

Wait.

I'm headed to the management

support team, too.

I saw what happened in the lobby.

Oh...

This is Han Yugyeong.

You saw her resume, right?

You look better in person.

You could be an actress.

I'll take that as a compliment.

You're pretty and smart.

The proposal you submitted to

the youth film festival was chosen.

How did you get to be so talented?

I was lucky.

Don't say that.

You don't have many friends, do you?

I'm not a very interesting person.

Why did you choose our company?

It seems like there's a lot to be done.

Well, work hard.

- Wait outside. / - Sure.

He's not answering his phone.

- Hi. / - Hello.

- Is he in? / - Yes.

Who are you?

Do we...

She's a new employee on

the production 2 team.

Oh, come with me.

This is the management support division.

The business division has the production,

distribution, marketing and investment teams.

The management division is downstairs.

This is...

Oh, the Heaju Group started as

a fabric store at Gwangjang Market.

The owner didn't even watch

a movie because he was so stingy,

but he suddenly bought a theater

and that's how the company came to be.

These are all actors of the Heaju Group.

Aren't they good looking?

I'm sure you heard that Lee Aerin

worked in the ticket office.

Yes.

This is the production 2 team

where you will be working.

This is Jang Hyeonseok.

He wants to be the team manager.

This is Suchang. I suspect

he got the job because he has connections.

I don't have connections.

Then why don't you work harder?

That's your desk.

This is our manager, Lee Yeongjo.

I'm Han Yugyeong.

Teach me a lot.

Why didn't you just let me die?

Miryeon, what's wrong with you?

Do you feel better?

I don't want to live.

You worked several jobs to save that money.

It doesn't compare to a person's life.

Don't ever do that again.

You scared me so much.

Where are you?

I can't eat anything.

You should eat a lot and...

Was it all an act?

Let's just both die.

You shouldn't hit someone

when they're eating.

What were the pills you took?

Was the foam all fake?

I borrowed some special effects.

I was surprised because you fell for it.

Are you really my friend?

This is what you do after you lose all my money?

I can't believe I was embarrassed

like that for you.

How embarrassing.

Where did you go?

Heaju Pictures?

Yes, I met Lee Yeongjo.

He denied everything.

What? Really?

Someone impersonated Lee Yeongjo, you fool!

Don't call me that.

I have his picture.

What?

Who is this?

This is Lee Yeongjo.

Yes.

I had to add my picture because

so many people are impersonating me.

I understand.

So many people tried to cast me.

Okay.

Left. Your left.

This way?

You're such a jewel.

Where do you live?

- Gwangju. / - Gyeonggi?

I can't believe such a jewel

was buried in Gwangju.

That's so sad.

It's sad.

Tell me if you know him.

I don't know him.

Really?

You have a picture and his number.

You'll find him soon.

You know him, right?

Are you an accomplice?

You're not giving me straight answers.

Don't you think it's because

I don't want to talk to you?

I don't want to be with you because

I think you'll beg for an audition.

I'll beg?

I don't beg. I'm going to ask boldly.

Let me audition.

You're a producer.

You can't refuse.

If you made more of an effort to

discover new talent,

people like him couldn't do this.

Here!

Catch him yourself.

You don't even know me. Why don't

you even give me an opportunity?

I could be a hidden gem.

Wait.

Fine.

You changed everything that isn't true?

What is this?

I'm not twenty-two, I'm twenty-four.

I only graduated high school and

I don't have any experience.

The only experience you have

is a bunch of part-time jobs.

When do you have time to practice acting?

That's why I quit 3 months ago.

I thought I'd be able to work a year, but...

You lost all your money.

It must be really upsetting.

I was betting everything on acting.

You won't be able to take any acting lessons.

That's good.

Consider it a good experience

and don't waste your youth.

Just go find another job.

How many profiles do you think look like this?

Did you have a job finding precious

stones at a stream?

What?

You were tricked by a con man because

you were chasing empty dreams.

Hi.

He doesn't know him.

Find him first.

Stake him out, call the police,

do what you want, just catch him.

No wonder he called me a stone.

Just hang up.

Excuse me.

Is it you?

It's you, right?

Yugyeong.

Yugyeong, it's me, Jeongeun.

Yugyeong!

Yugyeong!

You can't go in there.

It's me, Jeongeun.

You can't come in here like this.

You should leave.

- I know her. / - Oh...

Are you trying to embarrass me at work?

Is that all you can say?

It's been 10 years.

I called you so many times and

went to your school.

I told you I never wanted to see you again.

You weren't the only person who was hurt.

Never mind.

I guess you still want to act.

Are you still thinking your mom will

come looking for you if you're famous?

At least I ran into you.

I knew you'd work in this area,

but I can't believe I met you.

I'm busy.

Let me give you my number.

No.

I don't want to be involved with you.

Ignore me even if you get to be

in one of our movies.

Yugyeong.

I really missed you.

I thought of you a lot.

You thought of me?

Who do you think thought more?

I remember every time I wash my hand.

I hate it.

How did you convince Lee Yeongjo?

What?

He said to come for an audition.

- Really? / - Yes.

What do I have to do?

Is he sending a script?

There are several auditions before

the director gets to see you.

You know so much.

What's the first audition for?

Talent.

Talent?

Ogenki desu ka (how are you in Japanese).

Ogenki desu ka.

Ogenki desu ka.

Ogenki desu ka, ka ka...

Ogenki desu ka!

I was just sitting there, but my knees hurt.

Wait! You must be tired.

Here, drink this.

We couldn't drink this.

You did all the hard work. Drink it.

This is good.

Good job.

Thank you.

How was our acting?

Well... Here.

Can you give us a script?

Here.

Does it hurt where you were stabbed?

It was just an act to be funny.

Don't do it again. It's not funny.

Fail.

Are they all made at the same factory?

They all look the same.

This one, too.

She looks pure.

She passes.

Excuse me.

I didn't pass.

No way.

You shouldn't have changed your profile.

Let's go.

What will we do?

What will I do?

I'll just get another job.

Oh, boy.

Go ahead and go home.

I'm going to get that con man.

You fool...

Why did you want to see me?

I didn't pass.

I know.

I really wanted to be in that movie.

Lee Aerin is appearing in it.

It's too bad.

I could have seen you often

if I passed the audition.

It reminds me of the old days.

You filmed me a lot.

Do you still have the tapes?

It's foolish to hang on to dreams

that aren't possible.

I know.

I was only going to do it until

I ran out of $10,000, but I lost it all.

Like Lee Yeongjo said,

maybe it's all a waste of time.

How can you smile?

I don't know.

Where do you live?

Why?

Just because.

Do you want to start asking things

and then ask about my mom?

You can tell me.

Do you know why I don't like you?

This is why.

Nobody else in the world knows about that.

So, you can tell me.

What?

Nobody knows, but I do.

I'm sure it's hard for you.

You need someone to talk to.

No, I don't.

It's a pain even if you don't

keep reminding me.

She hasn't changed at all.

You're lucky.

You must see her often.

This is the new line producer.

It's nice to meet you.

I just saw you outside with a friend.

Right.

I'm Han Yugyeong.

The work is hard. Good luck.

You're pretty. You could be an actress.

Do you like your daughter?

Why are you so surprised?

Because I'm not married and

you're talking about a daughter.

He's talking about my daughter

in the movie.

Oh...

You're transferring to another school.

The rumors are all false.

Just do as I say.

You can't go to school when everyone

thinks you were violated by gangsters.

It's not true.

I told your mother to take you.

She just sent more money.

She sent several K's and

said it was all she had.

She's no big deal.

It wouldn't do you any good

to know a woman like that.

Let's just live like this.

Who is she?

I should keep my secret since I got money.

She's no actress.

I had unique hobbies.

Are you sick?

No.

I just had too much to drink last night.

That must be nice.

I can't remember the last time I did that.

Why didn't you get married?

I married movies.

Don't you know that?

Everyone knows that.

That's an image created by reporters.

I was curious about your true self.

There's no such thing for an actress.

Image is everything.

There's nothing else.

Does this settle all the debts

the Heaju Group has?

That's the last seal.

Never again.

That's a bit upsetting to hear.

We've known each other a long time.

Did you look for your daughter?

You can find her now.

I won't stop you.

You know where she lives, right?

Do you know her name?

Oh, that's sad.

Quiet!

Hello.

Here is the revised scenario.

Yeah?

How is your grandfather?

He's the same.

He lived long enough.

Watch what you say since nobody

knows he's the successor.

Is your car outside?

You never smile at me.

I'm sure you're mad.

I don't know what you're talking about.

When you came to see me, I was...

I don't remember.

Tell me.

I have to know what happened.

Do you want to see a mom

who abandoned her baby?

She's not a human being.

Even an animal doesn't do that.

Stop it!

Hello.

- It's cold. / - Give us two bowls of noodles.

- Can we have some soup? / - Sure.

I'll get it. Have a seat.

I can do it.

Just sit down.

You lost your money and

you failed the audition.

I should do this much.

That's it?

You're stingy.

Did you find the con man?

He hangs out at a beauty salon in

Cheongdam-dong. He'll be found.

Tell me the truth.

You know him, right?

Let's talk about something else.

Here are your noodles.

Thank you.

Enjoy your noodles.

Here.

Do you like eating that much?

There's someone I always remember

when I have noodles on a cold day.

Oh...

Do you know why I failed?

Why do you think you have to pass?

There's that spiteful tone again.

Tell me what your strengths are.

Oh, that's what you meant.

Well, I don't want to brag,

but I have such clear and pure eyes.

I'm really bright and I have

a sexy shoulder line.

Are all sexy women dead?

Did you live with your grandfather?

Your sense of humor is so old.

I don't know about anything else,

but you're funny.

Why do you want to become an actress?

To be famous.

I have to find a lost family member,

my mom.

What will you do after you find her?

I don't want to think about that now.

I have all these thoughts just when

I think of calling mom.

There's so much I want to do with her.

Go to the market, take a train trip,

go to the department store,

buy her long underwear, go to a karaoke

and go to a public bath.

There are so many things I want to do.

It's hard when I return to reality,

so I try not to think about it.

Think about it a lot.

Reality is always more cruel

than the imagination.

I can't believe

I found another thorn bush.

What?

I'll just get pricked,

so I'm going to leave now.

I'll take you home.

Goodbye.

Sungu.

I'm Yeongjo, Sungu's son.

I'm your grandson.

Oh...

I started at a fabric store at

the age of sixteen.

I know.

Where is Sungu?

Where is my son?

You wretch.

You wretch.

Don't, grandfather.

She's my mother.

No, no, no.

No...

There isn't much time left.

Go to the third floor.

Good luck.

This way. To the third floor.

They'll look at everything. Good luck.

- The third floor? / - Yes.

Numbers 75 through 85, get ready.

- Okay. / - Sure.

Our daughters are prostitutes over the border.

They're being sold for a measly $100.

You surprised me.

Okay. Next.

Okay, cut. Thank you.

Thank you. Next.

Okay, enough.

I have a hidden card.

Let me show you.

Okay, next.

I hate you.

Do you believe in love?

Next.

More dishes.

I'm coming.

I could have done a good job.

Good job.

Thank you.

My shoulders and my back hurt.

I made reservations. Let's go.

Should we have some more auditions?

There's no need.

Just choose one of them.

What should we do?

Where's ogenki desu ka?

She didn't pass the document screening.

Who are you talking about?

Do you remember the profile

that was covered with white out?

Yes, I do.

I picked her.

If you did a good job,

I wouldn't be losing things.

Can you find her profile?

I thought she didn't pass.

I shredded it.

I have her number.

Call her.

- Hello. / - Hello.

What?

I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding.

We only asked for Seo Jeongeun.

A gang always goes everywhere together.

Okay, okay.

The both of you, sit down.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This way.

Let's go on.

Thank you for coming like this.

Please introduce yourselves.

I'm Lee Aerin.

I'm Seo Jin playing the daughter role.

Hello?

We're doing a scenario reading.

What? You caught him?

They found the con man.

What a pain.

Should I just get a tattoo?

This is such a pain.

- Hi. / - Hi.

Give me back my money.

What?

What are you looking at?

Get lost.

Are you crazy?

What do you think you're doing?

Did you think I was a fool?

I've been around a bit.

You made me swallow my gum.

Mom, mom, mom!

Mom?

This is my mom's salon.

Really.

Can I give you massage coupons instead?

I'll give you VVIP coupons.

I thought you were a chairman's son.

Your mom is a beauty salon owner?

What did Lee Yeongjo do to be

embarrassed by trash like you?

Did you see him?

Did you show him my business card?

What did he say?

He said he didn't know you.

He doesn't know me?

He said that when you told him

I took $10,000 from you?

He said to call the police.

That little... Ooh!

Go and get him right now.

His mother seems to be really sick.

I felt so bad when I heard the story.

He must have been worried.

Hi, brother.

I knew you'd come.

Why? We share the same blood.

Nice car.

It's been 10 years.

You should say hello.

Wasn't it enough to take money from students?

Are you swindling now?

You jerk.

I thought I'd see you after

you got back from studying abroad.

I thought I'd see you after you were

discharged from military service.

I didn't, so I provoked you.

Don't get caught by the police.

I won't help you.

I did it on purpose to see what you'd do.

Shouldn't you pay them?

You ignored those poor girls?

Don't expect that from me.

Really?

They didn't do anything wrong.

I won't pay no matter what.

Still, I guess you were worried

when you heard mom was sick.

What's wrong with her?

I can't stand to see her.

She totally lost it after she saw you.

What are you talking about?

That's mom's beauty shop.

She should be getting ready about now.

Come with me.

It's too good to see for myself.

Let's make some money!

Let's go.

Hello!

Hello, I'm Donggeon.

Let me introduce the first team.

From the left!

I'm number 1, horse muscle.

Nice. There goes the belt.

Insert the chopsticks.

Yeah!

He can bend steel chopsticks.

Okay! Number 2, shank. Say hello.

Shank!

Hello, I'm shank.

Yeah!

It's beautiful.

Look at this.

Isn't this awesome?

You won't forget this.

Are you going to be like this?

I'm sorry.

No more fooling around.

Let me get the second team, the pretty guys.

Come in!

What?

It's me.

I brought a new face.

What do you think?

Oh, he looks nice.

Sit next to me. I'll give you a bonus.

Leave him alone.

He's my son.

I know your son.

I'm talking about him.

Hansu is my dead husband's son.

He's the son of another man.

I didn't know.

It's been 10 years.

Is this the best you can do?

Go to the shop.

You're dead meat today!

What are you doing? Come on.

Hey!

Why are you taking it out on me?

What's wrong with you?

Why can't you live proper lives?

How should I know?

You're the smart one.

Stop it. Stop bothering me, got it?

Bothering you? Am I a bug?

Wait and see.

Hey, you look pretty good.

How about working with me?

I'll give you $5 an hour.

Hey!

Get him.

Give him a good beating.

How much more do you want?

Director Lee.

Are you alright?

What's his problem?

Eight o'clock? Okay.

Hello.

I'm looking for Yang Miryeon.

Who?

Yang Miryeon.

Oh, just a minute.

Good.

Miryeon.

Hi.

Get her some herb tea, too.

Sit down.

You got coupons instead?

Do something with that hair. You got it done for $20, right?

It's only four scenes.

We can't afford $500 massages.

This is a secret.

Hansu gave us a celebrity discount.

It's a good deal.

Just give me the money.

It's to study acting.

You achieved your goal.

Do you think $10,000 is a lot?

It's only enough for a wrinkle shot.

Do you know how much I get paid?

Do you know how many plates

I have to wash to save that much?

You can't calculate like that in this line of work

if you want to survive.

That hurts. Stop it.

Quiet! Let's just end this.

You didn't care that your son showed up.

It's only a few massage coupons.

Is money more important than Yeongjo?

Stop mentioning his name.

He has nothing to do with us.

Things would be nice if you weren't

so mean to him at the police station.

Why did you say things that you didn't mean?

Quiet!

Is money that important?

More than your son?

Do you want to watch a movie next week?

Let's meet here at 5 o'clock on Thursday.

I'm a little late.

Yeongjo, why are you so late?

What happened to you?

Did you get into a fight?

Hello? Hello?

Hello, this is Seo Jeongeun.

Oh, Seo Jeongeun.

You want to meet? Fine.

Come over here. Let's have a drink.

I'm at...

Tell her where we are.

Who is it?

Answer the phone.

Hello?

Seo Jeongeun?

Okay, okay.

I'll text it to you.

Isn't Choi Gangu good looking?

Choi Jongdal had a nice son.

Really? I was the only one who didn't know?

He's just on the pay role.

Next to him is the real thing.

Yeongjo?

- He's the chairman's grandson. / - Really?

The company was Lee Aerin's,

but Yeongjo's grandfather

bought it to give to him.

Jeongeun!

Jeongeun.

Hello.

Can I sit here?

You look happy.

I am.

Next, Lee Yeongjo.

Lee Yeongjo! Lee Yeongjo!

This is a secret, but I want to tell you.

I don't have anyone else to tell.

What?

That guy who got beat up by

a gangster in the alley.

The one I saw at the police station.

The one who bought you noodles?

I found him.

That's him.

Director Lee Yeongjo.

Isn't that amazing?

Does he know?

No, I'm going to tell him.

He'll be surprised, huh?

Lee Yeongjo! Lee Yeongjo!

Applaud!

Oh! Ogenki desu ka.

Hello?

When did you come?

Just now.

Have a drink. Jeongeun.

- Here. / - Thanks.

Bottoms up.

Here.

Thank you.

Yugyeong.

What is your relationship with Seo Jeongeun?

What do you mean?

I warned you not to go near her.

Why is that?

Because you're going to be mine.
