Did you pay my tuition?

Why did you do that?

The ghostwriting... Is it still available?

Lee Ma Ri! Lee Ma Ri! Lee Ma...

I'm writing Lee Ma Ri's book?

What's this?

It's the contract stating that I will be ghostwriting a book for Lee Ma Ri.

I've never heard that I am looking for a ghostwriter to write a book for me.

Do you know how to drive?

Miss Lee Ma Ri is currently writing a book in Japan.

Who do you have to meet before you leave?

The person I owe the money to.

The last person in the world that you would ever borrow money from.

Episode *|| 3 ||*

I came to return the money.

Get on in!

Take care of yourself!

Wow! That's great!

Excuse me... Are you Miss Lee Ma Ri?

Can you sign autographs? Please?

Wow! This is so great!

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Thank you. - Thank you very much.

Excuse me.

My dad used to play that song for me when I was young. What's the title?

Why are you following me?

What do you expect by following me?

You think it's a joke? That it's fun?

I couldn't find the way out... I was passing by and just happened to see you.

I promise I won't tell this to anyone.

I'm like Mr. Kim Chul Soo... having no interest in other people's matters.

It's nothing.

That's what I mean.

Of all the men I've known, did you know that Mr. Kim Chul Soo's arm is the only one I've ever grabbed?

I'm late.

Oh oh ow... ah...

Are you alright?

Are you injured? Let me see.

I'm okay.

Get off her!

- Don't do that! - Are you OK?

Are you OK?

Yes. Are you OK?

Yes.

What is going on here? Huh?

President Seo!

Go in... You�re late.

There's no time for you to change your clothes. Noona, hurry.

I'll see you in there.

Don't run!

You should stop here.

I'm worried that her leg may be injured...

Just focus on your book.

I'm writing a book that uses Nara Region as a background.

Hopefully it would be finished soon.

Miss Lee Ma RI!! Here! Here!

I'm a reporter from Korea, Jun Byung Joon. I'm Jun Byung Joon.

~Arirang~ ~Arirang~ ~Ara ri rang~

Welcome!

What's with Arirang?

Hey! Singing this song will attract girls... that I can hit on.

This is... our new member.

Hello!

Pass me that, the photos.

I want to show you something. See here.

Lee Ma Ri.

She's Beautiful.

Square Paper Bag...

Don't you feel something is weird?

Huh?

This is obviously not just a tour guide.

I'm sure there is more to it.

*hyung: address to older brother or male by male

Hyung*, are you a reporter?

Why?

Just... reporters and quick visual acuity.

You think so too, right? You feel there's more to it too, right?

Ahh... by the size... my hunch... He seems more familiar the more I look.

My sixth sense tells me that something's not right.

This is reporter Jun Byung Joon's intuition.

Hey! Let's eat first.

Our company won't provide lodging and food... That's why we have to take the early morning flight.

So, we have to eat quickly. Cheers! Cheers!

Ahh.... I can't use this hand.

This hand was shaken by Lee Ma Ri.

I won't wash this hand.

You like Lee Ma Ri that much?

She's an absolute Beauty... You should also come and take a look.

Yes... She's very beautiful.

Lee Ma Ri... After this incident, when can we meet her again?

Yes... when can we meet again?

Today's attire was good.

Who said that?

Everybody... even the reporters said that.

Why did you disappear without a word?

Because I'm tired... I just felt so tired.

Until director Jung Park Seok's new drama, I'm taking a month.

Alright. Let's rest.

I said rest. After the press conference for director Jung Park Seok's new drama. Let's take some time.

Where should we go?

Right. Korea is not good. So... how about France?

Is my popularity in decline?

Why did you decide to let me rest?

Then should we call it off?

No.

But... why aren't you asking?...

About Kim Chul Soo.

What's his relationship with me? Aren't you curious?

Has it gone to the point where I should take an interest?

No. You usually take an interest. But this time you're acting like it's nothing.

Maybe it's because I'm feeling some real anxiety.

That maybe something could be happening with you.

I know. I'm aware of it too.

I will deal with it myself.

A person who has disappeared.

Here... is a great place to remember the person who has disappeared.

This is the place... where I used to take pictures with that person.

The person who disappeared?

With my first love.

So she's leaving.

Why?...

Ai... what?

*unni: address to older sister or female by female

Unni*... are you awake?

*unni: address to older sister or female by female

Hey!

*oppa: address to older brother or male by female

Oppa*.

*oppa: address to older brother or male by female

Are you okay?

You didn't leave?

Come in and apologize.

*noona: address to older sister or female by male

Noona*!...

*noona: address to older sister or female by male

Didn't I teach you about courtesy?

Didn't I teach you about courtesy?

What I do is for your image.

I'm sorry.

Forget it.

Anyway... we'll be living together for a while.

I want to rest for a month... to recharge.

Instead of "rest", "vacation" would be a more suitable word for it.

Recharging yourself... is the time when you practice something that benefits your occupation.

For example... practicing for your movie or drama...

Don't you want to think of doing these things?

Are you lecturing noona?

Nevermind.

Alright then, "Vacation".

That's great.

Miss Lee Ma Ri staying here is a good choice.

Not for anything personal but, for the book.

The photos taken at the Palace Ground were great. What you said there was also good.

I didn't think it would come out well. But now I think I can use Lee Ma Ri's perspective to write a good book.

So during the time we're living together...

I want to listen to Miss Lee Ma Ri's opinions.

Are you saying that noona should hang out with you?

You can take photos, or just tell me anything you feel at that moment.

I'll write them down for the book.

Does ghostwriting bother you that much?

By doing this, you won't need to feel that you're deceiving your fans.

You're really something. What deception?

Noona is just too busy to write the book.

Noona. Just let him go... I'll write it for you.

What a...

Oppa, how can you write books? You can't even write a diary.

Be patient and watch. It'll be interesting.

What're you talking about? Don't you know I don't want anything to happen because I'm her manager?

If you're unwilling to...

The book will still be published under Miss Ma Ri's name.

It's up to you.

Miss Lee Ma Ri!

Bring me whatever you've written.

I'll decide after reading it.

What's there to see?

Oppa, the argument about recharging was good. Fighting!

Help yourself to the toast!

Arriving at an unknown city alone and empty handed.

I've imagined this numerous times.

The sun's rays shining upon the historical Palace Ground.

All things beautiful will one day inevitably disappear.

It is a good place to reminisce of things that have disappeared.

Standing there, the ambiance of history speaks of the importance of forgetting the past and moving on.

It is saying that the past will stay here as history, and that I can move on.

You're here?

I didn't know that.

Why do you come here?

The weather is good.

I came out for a walk.

When did I tell you that "All things beautiful will one day inevitably disappear."?

You're unsatisfied with that sentence?

"Forgetting the past and moving on."

It felt like it was directed at me.

The reason why I didn't return to Korea.

Aren't you curious about it?

Other than a vacation, is there another reason?

While you're here, think about that reason.

I will hang out with you.

What are we going to do?

This is the largest Buddhist statue in Asia.

A Buddhist statue that's been renovated nine times.

It's like a fantasy, isn't it?

People travel to fulfill fantasies.

People leave a particular place to fulfill their fantasies.

Wow! It's kimchi! It looks delicious!!

Unni, it looks delicious, right?

There was a line, "The place reminds me of my hometown because of a particular smell" in Wuthering Heights,

The smell of this place gives me the same feeling.

A smell?

"Wuthering Heights", by Emily Bronte...

Who did you say?

Emily Bronte. Author of "Wuthering Heights".

Ahn Eun Jung was the author.

Ahh... The drama?

You don't watch dramas, right?

The dramas and movies that I acted in...

You haven't seen even one, right?

Well, you know, hmm...

You will watch, in time.

Ahh. That guy is so suspicious.

Yah, since he's always dragging noona around...

He's definitely not a ghostwriter but a fan of hers!

That's impossible? Unni's never even seen him before.

What "impossible"?

The way he looks at Noona... it's not ordinary.

Unni...

The book's upside down.

It looks delicious.

Do you want to try it?

It's fattening.

It's like a building in a fairy tale.

Why are you always writing?

Because I'm not sightseeing... I have to write down everything.

Miss Lee Ma Ri! Can you sign autographs for us?

Thank you very much!

No! You can't see that! Give it to me.

Do not read it!

Wait.

Do not read it, give it back to me.

Finish all the bulgogi. Bulgogi.

I told you to eat the bulgogi.

Forget it. It's fattening.

Whatever.

Frankly speaking, Ma Ri Unni is more suspicious than the writer.

What?

Unni is usually afraid of getting tanned.

But she is wandering around everyday just for the book?

Does that makes sense?

Don't talk nonsense!

What did you say?

How much more do we have to walk?

Are you dragging me around without any destination?

Ah... you said you hate to get tanned.

When did I say that?

Well... That is...

Could it be that... you're a fan, disguised as a ghostwriter?

What did you say?

So why is Lee Ma Ri being so accommodating?

Ahh... It's all for my book.

I'm not your fan.

Frankly speaking, I haven't seen any of your movies.

I'm sorry.

You should be.

Hello, Miss Lee Ma Ri?

Hi! How are you?

I'm from the Han Ban Doo TV. I'm Bae Yong Jun, here for this interview.

Oh! Unni! Come in quickly! It's starting!

Unni, take a seat! It's about to start!

- She's there! - Oh, there she is!

Here comes the famous global star!

Seriously!

I'm out here to meet someone really special. Miss Lee Ma Ri!

- Miss Lee Ma Ri! How are you? - Hi! How are you?

Omo! How come I look so ugly!?

Oh! Oppa! Come on in!

Come in! Please sit!

This is the interview filmed last time.

It would've been even better if oppa was there, too.

He insisted that troubles may appear if he's in it.

And it would arouse suspicion.

You lied to your friends, didn't you?

Ahh... I'm also Mr. Kim Chul Soo's secret.

In that way, aren't we each other's secret?

You're right. We are each other's secret.

Hello to all viewers! I'm Lee Ma Ri!

You were so beautiful that day.

You're right. Unni's really beautiful.

Really? My hair was so messy.

Well, you guys are always like that every day.

Am I pretty?

Huh?

- Well taken. - Our next item has a close connection to the previous segment.

Olympic gold medalist, Son Ha Young, won the gold medal at this year's World Shooting Tournament.

And came back to Incheon International Airport on the third.

Upon arriving in Korea, he made a shocking statement during an interview that has gained attention.

Son Ha Young, how's your condition at this time?

What do you think of your past history with Miss Lee Ma Ri?

- This kid is making trouble again. - You've been overseas for a long time... do you miss Miss Lee Ma Ri?

Noona, should I turn it off?

I missed her a lot.

Are you serious?

This was delivered on the second day she was missing.

So that's why you let her stay in Japan?

Are you afraid that someone will appear if she's here.

Do you think he would come back?

I will have to mold her into someone that would not be afraid of anything.

What's that?

Umn... it's nothing.

That person... Is she the person that you like?

The person that I saw at Osaka University.

You owe money to someone that you like...

so that's why you're ghostwriting?

What are you trying to say all of a sudden?

You already have someone that you like,

How can you kiss me?

What?

Don't you think so?

I didn't kiss you.

Then how could Miss Lee Ma Ri do that to me when you already have a boyfriend?

Let go.

Let me see what it is.

It's my movie.

Have you thought about the reason why I stayed?

Should I tell you?

No, I'm just...

Lee Ma Ri!

I missed you so much.

Do you know my grandfather?

Is there anyone who doesn't?

My grandfather came here for some treatments.

I was called along with my cousin to come.

Ah... the flowers...

You said that you like this combination.

It's the other way round.

Yeah, it's the other way around.

The number of red and white roses is the other way round.

So... everyone know this?

What's the difference? Red roses suit you more.

Who's that?

Oh... He's the guide who's helping me write my book.

Is that so?...

What's the book about? Why're you writing books?

You'll be surprised when you see it.

Please prepare the car.

Understood.

Well, I'll go up first.

Drive for us.

Did you just say that to me?

Where are you going?

I'm hungry. Let's go out.

I've made a reservation.

I still have to change my clothes.

It's fine. Just go as you are.

It's fine if we go to a place where there are no one.

Let's go.

Please drive for us.

Where is Jang Soo?

He went out.

Then I'll drive.

We can't talk if you're driving.

He's not a driver.

Is that so? Then what is he?

I'll just do it.

Didn't I tell you I feel uncomfortable where there're a lot of people?

It's okay.

We may need an hour or two.

Eat something and wait for us.

That's a bit too much for some food.

Wait a minute.

Please go.

Why?

Didn't I tell you he's not working for the company?

You can go.

What are you doing? Aren't you coming?

Okay. I will.

Lee Ma Ri! She's Lee Ma Ri! Cool! Great!

What's with her attire?

Nah. It's great.

No.

I told you I wanted to change my clothes first

It's okay. Just enjoy yourself.

It's okay, right?

I hate it when you treat people as your servants.

I hope you'll take note of that.

Yes. This is my habit.

But, why do you care about that guide?

Who says I care?

This is something I've been constantly telling you.

And that man...

Let's not talk about other people anymore.

It's been two months.

Were you surprised to see me?

I was surprised.

You haven't called me for the past 2 months or so.

But you suddenly say you miss me and act as if we've not met for just a few days.

Of course I'm surprised.

I was afraid that hearing your voice...

will make me rush back to meet you.

What you said before I went to England... Were you serious about it?

About breaking up.

I thought I got dumped.

Did it sound like I was breaking up with you?

You told me you wanted a serious relationship,

wanted marriage, and was ready for marriage...

Am I right?

I have two older brothers.

You knew my family is complicated and picky,

And you knew I can't get married at this time.

True?

So that's why I knew you wanted to break up.

Fine. I just wanted to hear it.

So did you say these to shut me off?...

Or were you serious about it?

Whatever you prefer.

Alright. Let's eat.

So are you breaking up with me?

I said let's eat.

Ah... noona's not back yet.

These... why don't you hand these drafts to her?

Ah... do you want to have noodles with me?

Hold the noodle and spread it around so it won't clump.

Those two... went out for a date?

They went to have dinner.

That bastard never sends her home early once he brings her out.

He's a real asshole.

Uh... do you like Miss Lee Ma Ri?

Frankly speaking... noona is my idol.

My dream is to be an actor.

An actor for action movies!

At first, I thought about the opportunities if I stayed close to her.

I can't deny having some thoughts.

I'm not in the same league as the guys noona dates.

However, a woman at her level can't date a regular guy.

It'll lower her image.

Is that so?

Do you have one too?

A love that's like a dream?

A love that's like a dream...

Ah, you do have one!

I had one.

Who is she?

That woman?

Hand me the salt to adjust the taste.

The woman that I saw that time� Is she the love that's like a dream?

I will leave the draft here. Take a look at it when you have the time.

You aren't eating?

Hallyu Star, Lee Ma Ri, has been selected to be the lead actress in director Jung Park Seok's new drama.

There will be a simultaneous press conference held in Korea, China, Japan and Taiwan.

Lee Ma Ri is currently in Japan writing a book.

I flew over to meet her in person.

She's beautiful, and now she's writing a book?

What are you doing so early in the morning?

Yu Ri's had a fever since early this morning.

What?

How is she? Is she okay?

I told you to be extra careful with a cold. Did I or didn't I tell you so?

You told me.

But it's not me... I don't have a cold.

Where were you last night? Why did you let her tend the store alone?

I'm sorry. I also went out last night.

You see. I'm not the only one at fault here.

Anyway... Weren't you out, too?

Should we call Chul Soo?

What for?

It's not like we don't know what to do.

We'll go to the hospital if the fever continues.

What? We aren't going now?

How can you be so stingy at a time like this?

This is a disaster.

I heard that this illness is not easily cured.

Should we call Byung Joon?

Poor girl...

Shhhh.

What a relief... I thought I was late. Good Morning! Good Morning!

You're late again? You're late again?

Oh, hi, manager.

You're 10 minutes late. I'll dock your pay W100,000.

Ah... Manager... It's not that... On the first floor.

Anyway, Son Ha Young went to Japan.

What?

There's an article on the internet that they were seen having dinner in Japan.

How many articles can we expect?

I'm not sure... Probably around five...

Five articles for just a dinner?

Why? Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young's future in Japan.

Lee Ma Ri breaking the 100 days record...

Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young getting married.

Son Ha Young doesn't marry her because of family objection.

Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young broke up!

Wow!

Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young's impending marriage.

Son Ha Young turned off the hotel suite's lights.

According to a hotel staff member, for the suite's lights to turn on or off, there has to be two people doing it.

To have this kind of special features,

The suite was specially designed and requires a rate of more than W8,400,000 per night.

Hi, how are you?

- Hyung, you're going out now? - Yes.

Have you checked it?

Okay. Wait for her arrival at the hotel entrance that morning.

I'm going to make things bigger.

Yes. I allow you to love me.

But promise me one thing.

Don't leave me.

Don't ever leave me.

Are you here?

I don't like this movie. I'm too fat in it.

It makes me look slow and stupid.

Well then.

You've read it?

You're not satisfied with it?

Yesterday's incident...

Are you feeling bad about it?

Did it hurt your pride?

So... why would I feel that way?

Because of misunderstanding...

It's not something that should hurt my pride.

If I were a real guide...

It would make me feel offended.

Ahh... You're feeling bad...

No I'm not.

I saw you were angry... you did feel bad.

No. I wasn't angry.

Why do you assume that you know how I feel?

And, why don't you say anything about the draft?

If you're not saying anything, that does make me feel a bit annoyed.

If you're not satisfied, I can revise it.

So, please give me some feedback.

It is fine.

That's it?

Compared to what I can do, it's definitely a better piece of work.

Frankly speaking, there are way too many phrases that I don't understand...

For readers to believe I'm the author, the sophisticated quotes and music references... there were just too many.

It's like I'm being pretentious.

They were all quotes from Miss Lee Ma Ri's mouth.

You mean these are all words that came out of my mouth?

I said "emptiness"...

What Dostoevsky said about a person's inner feelings, "Within everyone's heart, there is an abyss."

Is this what it turns into?

You took note of what I said, and then changed them into your own words.

People reading this will just feel frustrated.

Another thing, there used to be a lot of rumors about my "Mysterious Background".

So what's this with suddenly being pretentious because of this book.

It's not being pretentious.

Let's review this whole thing carefully.

Use of citations is not being pretentious,

It's done to deliver a specific emotional impact to the readers.

It's to evoke a reader's experience, feelings, and memories. It's for this purpose.

That's why I'm saying, it's too hard for readers who haven't read those cited books.

Then why didn't you read more books?

Take me for an example, I barely graduated from high school since I'm an actress.

I didn't have the time to study.

And also to clear this up...

I don't like lying like Mr. Kim Chul Soo.

- Lying? - Didn't you?

If you feel bad, you feel bad.

You're always denying... always pretending you're okay.

So my unhappiness is the root of all these problems?

Why do I have to feel bad about meeting Miss Lee Ma Ri's boyfriend?

Miss Lee Ma Ri! Please stop playing games.

There's a limit to what I can take.

I shouldn't have started this.

That's right.

A person without anything in her mind, and I'm ghostwriting her book.

- How pathetic! - What did you say?

Ma Ri's "Mysterious Background"?

Lately, it's due to involvement in mysticism,

But it used to be very famous when she debuted.

Because of it, Lee Ma Ri was very tired for some time.

Next question is about drugs.

It is something that you often use to get more vigorous.

And it's grounded for making cold noodles and also for making tea.

This root... Please answer if you know the answer.

- Answer. - Here, Miss Ma Ri, please write it down.

- Answer. - Here, Miss Ma Ri, please write it down.

I think Miss Ma Ri is trying to entertain everyone by intentionally writing the wrong answer.

But you don't have to do that. Please write the correct answer.

She's funny, isn't she?

Miss Lee Ma Ri! Where are you coming from?

Ah. I just returned from the United States' capital,

New York...

This movie's main theme was inspired by Alphonse Daudet's "Star".

Alphonse Daudet's "Star". That's nice. Do you like it too? Miss Lee Ma Ri?

Of course! Alphonse Daudet's "Star". It's a beautiful song.

Do you have evidence to all of these?

Evidence?

Since the materials were edited, no one can verify them.

If it doesn't make sense and there's no evidence, who the hell is spreading this bullshit?

If she's been acting since high school, how can she find the time to read books?

Why are you being so serious?

I'm her fan and I don't even care about it.

No...

A person without anything in her mind, and I'm ghostwriting her book.

How pathetic!

It's really pathetic.

I was being too harsh.

Hey! You're acting suspicious.

What?

Could it be... that you really like Lee Ma Ri?

What?

I'm right!

You... have been acting suspicious since last time.

Why do you want to hang up? This is a cheap call, it's okay.

Let's keep talking.

Huh?

Here?

No!... This isn't your room.

Ever since you went to Japan, I've haven't stepped into your room even once.

You're not here. Why would I fool around in your room?

Hey! Chul Soo! The signal's not good.

Maybe it's because it's cheap.

I'm hanging up.

Ahh... how can I tell him I got evicted because I don't have money to pay my rent?

I was afraid that you'd fall into the water.

Just now... I'm sorry...

Come to think about it... I did lie to you.

I didn't feel so good...

I felt unhappy because I was asked to drive.

And you didn't like my writing,

I was also unhappy about that.

I'm not good with apologies.

Because I try to conduct myself in a way that minimizes the chance of having to apologize.

I don't argue either because it's not a matter of life or death.

But it's strange how I've been arguing so much ever since I came here.

So I'm right about you being pretentious.

See?

You're being pretentious even when you're apologizing.

Let's assume that I am, okay.

Here.

- I don't drink... - ...what other people have drunk.

You've forgotten about it?

I didn't expect you to remember.

My memory is good.

I don't know author names and the book titles...

But I'm way better than you at memorizing people and scripts.

Let's just assume this too.

Why do you talk to me casually?

Aren't we of the same age?

You look younger than me.

Do I? I hear that often.

There's a candle festival tonight, do you want to come along?

It's okay if you don't want to. I'll go alone.

It's so late! Where are you going by yourself?

Miss Lee Ma Ri!

Standing in the midst of the candles,

If you close your eyes and count to five...

You'll see your destiny.

So you are here.

Why are you standing there?

Heh?

So why are you standing there?

Uh...

I just broke up.

Just broke up... with my boyfriend?

Why did you guys break up?

Because it's time to break up.

Have you thought about getting married?

I don't think I've ever considered it.

But I had.

A long time ago, a very long time ago,

There was someone who I wanted to marry.

It was when I just became famous.

Although everybody was against it and stopped me,

I still wanted to get married to him.

Because I wanted to have my own family.

Why?

I don't have a family.

Ah.

But,

That person...

disappeared all of a sudden.

I'm saying the truth.

He went out to buy Vanilla ice cream.

He really disappeared after that.

Just like in a comedy...

Vanilla ice cream...

It would have been great if he came back with it.

So... I thought...

I'd never be able to be in a relationship.

But... as time went by,

I started to have new relationships.

though I couldn't like anyone sincerely...

Then why do you still do it?

Because I'm lonely.

But the times I really missed,

are those times I spent with that man.

But...

You're sitting too far away.

It's so comfortable.

I knew it would be comfortable.

That...

But...

That... How long are you going to stay like this?

Miss Ma Ri?
