STAR'S LOVER

Episode 4

Why is author Oppa nowhere to be seen lately?

He also didn't say anything about going out to do research.

Yes, he left early this morning.

Maybe he's working hard at writing the book.

A strange place, strange people,

and the lightness of feeling like a lone onlooker.

The sense of a new world, the new perspective that is offered.

Between what has passed, and what is to come,

is a thin, but strong and happy boundary.

It may be that the human who can't change time, can find the most freedom.

In that moment, he experiences a change of space.

Therefore, traveling may be the way to live the longest life.

And occasionally, within that extended boundary of life,

amidst the memories of days gone by, and the possibilities of the future,

a person may meet his new destiny.

I'm speaking of a deep and strong special encounter.

Hello?

Rumors are spreading everywhere. My dad is furious.

He said that if I couldn't even block this type of rumor,

I wouldn't be able to take care of his company.

- What do you want me to do? - A simple press conference.

- Give me just 30 minutes of your time. - We're just friends.

No, we don't recognize each other.

- Will that do? - Let me ask you one more time.

Do you really want to end this relationship?

Or do you want to have a serious relationship,

dating the man you're going to marry? Correct?

Yes.

Okay, I understand.

(Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young's separation.)

(In the end, Son Ha Young also couldn't break the 100-day record?)

There are signs of a break-up between Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young.

The romance between Lee Ma Ri and Son Ha Young, which excited the whole nation,

due to Lee Mari's trip to Japan

and the appearance of the square paper bag man,

is facing an end.

It is said that the photos of her with the square paper bag man...

Square paper bag?

What an endless topic.

It doesn't matter to me. I've experienced it for the past ten years.

Aren't you going out to conduct more research?

I don't have to go anymore.

Jang Soo, can you give us a moment?

Your upcoming movie?

The story uses an amusement park as a shooting location.

It's been a while since I went to an amusement park.

I've almost forgotten what it's like.

What is it?

It did become more threatening, more pretentious, more boring.

It's my writing. You were right.

It's my fault.

The thoughts expressed shouldn't be written in the way

I would have done it.

That's why... you just pick the words that you like.

So you're listening to my advice now?

Why have you been avoiding me lately?

You have been avoiding me.

How long are you planning to stay here?

I'm leaving soon.

I'm gathering some materials and

I think writing the book in Seoul will be better.

I have a younger sister in Seoul.

My younger sister is not feeling well.

Really?

I think it's time, too.

I mean the amusement park.

It is much easier since we're abroad.

No one will try to stop me.

Do you want to come along?

I want to ride the Ferris wheel.

Why?

Then... there will be chances for me to kiss you.

Why?

I just think that I may.

Slowly... swinging towards the sky.

So, Won Ho tries to kiss her in the Ferris wheel...

A man and a woman who just met each other, having fun in an amusement park,

kissed each other.

Isn't that a bit too fast?

Usually, these things happen suddenly.

Yeah, that's right.

Have you ever been on a Ferris wheel?

No.

You'll understand once you ride it.

Slowly, the feeling of swinging towards the sky. It's very special.

Swinging towards the sky...

A special feeling?

- Do you want to try? - Huh?

This script is weird.

The girl has something to say, but the guy isn't paying attention. Instead he starts complaining.

If she really wants to say something,

why doesn't she just say it, even if the guy told her not to?

The person she likes doesn't want to listen. That's why she can't say it.

It's not that the guy doesn't want to listen.

Maybe it's because it's not worth listening.

Nevertheless, problems can be solved through communication.

If it's not possible, it's not possible.

Some things just can't be changed.

But,

feelings do change.

Memories, too.

That's why...

I should just say it.

Since this is my last opportunity, I'll tell you.

Can you guess why I didn't go back to Korea, but stayed here instead?

Can I talk first?

I have someone that I like.

Telling you this, to Miss Lee Ma Ri,

feels strange, but...

I feel that... I have to say it.

Attention, all Ferris wheel riders. We apologize for this interruption.

Due to an electrical failure, the Ferris wheel is temporarily not working.

It will resume shortly, so please stay calm.

Noona, where are you?

Call the President.

- Are you looking for trouble? - What else can we do?

There would be a huge scandal, if someone took pictures of them together.

We by ourselves won't be able to sneak them out.

You contact President first. I'll go there.

There's a person I know who can deal with this.

What?

It's going to be alright.

I am a guy who disappeared.

I'm the first love who disappeared.

I did the same thing to the woman who loved me.

It was a selfish act.

"I did it for her sake",

that's how I comforted myself, by not giving any reasons to her.

This way, I disappeared.

That's why I'm a man who disappeared.

After I came here and met you,

I realized how much pain that woman must have gone through because of me.

After I saw how much pain you were going through,

I just realized it, too.

Being a star is... really good.

When I looked at you, I felt that

I could do anything that I would like to do.

People can fall in love

with a person that's like a dream.

A person that's like a dream?

At least, I could give the woman who was in pain because of me

compensation,

by giving her happiness.

I have this kind of thought.

I envy you.

Thank you...

for showing me the truth.

So the feeling of swinging towards the sky...

is like this.

Ma Ri!

Are you okay?

Miss Lee Ma Ri!

Hello. Yes, Eun Young.

Today... I'm going back to Korea.

Before I go back, can we meet once?

Yes.

Before I go back to Korea, there is something I want to tell you.

I'll come back in time for the flight. Could you keep my bags, please?

I understand. We will take care of them.

You're taking tonight's flight, aren't you?

- Take care! - Thank you very much.

Since this is my last opportunity, I'll tell you.

Can you guess why I didn't go back to Korea, but stayed here instead?

Can I talk first?

I have someone that I like.

The person that she liked didn't want to listen. That's why she couldn't say it.

However, it is possible to solve problems through communication.

Feelings do change.

Memories change, too.

It's definitely an honor and privilege to have someone as beautiful and talented as Lee Ma Ri.

It's a great opportunity to work with Asia's top star and

in my country, she's considered as the Nicole Kidman and Julia Roberts of Asia.

As you can see from our chemistry on-screen, I think we can be a couple, too.

Hello, Eun Young.

I think... I'm going to be late.

Yeah.

Don't wait for me.

Yes, what is it?

I'll be waiting for you with the reporters.

Keep it a secret with President Seo.

Excuse me, do you have vanilla ice cream?

- How many do you want? - One, please.

Noona, you're so stunning!

- Noona, you're the best! -Oh! Unni, you're really so beautiful!

President, the dress that I chose is good, isn't it?

Can you guys go out for a while?

- Sorry? - Go out for a while.

Mr. Son.

Why is he here?

- I don't know. - Although he looks innocent,

he has been raised to be the successor from young. Don't underestimate him.

I'm not his business partner. It's okay.

Where is Kim Chul Soo?

He said that he's leaving today.

This is not bad, too. It will be better for him to write in Korea,

and Lee Ma Ri can rest peacefully alone.

I'll leave, too.

I have no reason to stay here.

Is Kim Chul Soo the reason?

I am supposed to know the truth, am I not?

What a joke.

He told me that...

he was like that person.

There was this girl that he liked.

However,

he left her

in the past,

just like what that person did to me.

I didn't expect him to be grateful to me.

I helped him to regain the courage to love her again.

That's all.

So, don't you worry, and don't interfere.

Don't cross the line.

Noona, let's go. It's going to start.

Let's go.

They all went to a party at the riverside.

Really? Thank you.

The party has a dress code.

Can I borrow your jacket, please?

I do have one, but it may not be appropriate.

Ma Ri! Ma Ri!

Ma Ri!

Ma Ri!

Lee Ma Ri!

Lee Ma Ri!

Lee Ma Ri!

Excuse me.

Thank you for coming. Konichiwa*. ( Good afternoon)

Our guest of honor for today's party is Miss Lee Ma Ri!

Hey, it's good to see you here.

- It's been a while since we met. - Yes. Mr. Kawakami!

Thank you! Thank you!

What should I do from now on?

Just follow me.

Lee Ma Ri!

Why are you so late?

This guy in a swallow-tail coat is our band member.

See? We're wearing swallow-tail coats, right?

I came here mainly to find that lady there.

Everyone here has come for that lady.

Where is Ma Ri?

Noona!

Noona!

Where are the reporters?

You look great. You look stunning today.

No one's here.

- Piano! Sit down! - Eh?

Piano!

Sit down.

What is this?

I'm asking you what this is?

- Nothing. - What do you mean by nothing?

Don't play games with me. I want to get off this boat.

No!

I said no!

I mean, to playing games with you.

Marry me.

I'm serious.

I'll make you happy.

Play it.

Quick! Play it!

Excuse me!

What's the name of this song?

It's Chopin's "Nocturne".

Thank you.

- Lee Ma Ri jumped into the water! - What?!

- What's this? - I'm going to send them to you.

Really?

What if one day, between us,

I die or disappear first?

Don't know. Maybe I'll disappear, too?

I...

will wish for your happiness.

She's out!

Noona!

Are you okay? Huh?

Are you really okay?

- Bring him over! - Eh?

- Jang Soo. - Yes?

Noona!

Unni, are you alright? I was so worried.

I'll bring you something hot to drink.

I have to hear what Lee Ma Ri has to say.

And then?

I haven't thought about it.

- Are you confident you like Ma Ri? - This too...

- I haven't thought about it. - Then...

Think about it. There's plenty of time.

If you like someone, you have to sacrifice all the little things,

like the feeling you've never thought about,

who you should like. Think about them.

In this world, there are many words that are meaningless to hear,

and meaningless things are done.

Although I don't know when it will be,

I'll mail them in a special package that will be delivered after a few years.

I wish for you to be as happy as you are now.

If I were not by your side,

I hope that you will remember me,

and that there will be someone by your side.

Woo Jin, didn't you say that to me before?

Yet, I didn't remember it.

Are you alright?

I was surprised to see you jump into the water.

Are you okay?

Vanilla ice cream?

Do you want some?

I'm Ha Young's cousin, Jung Woo Jin.

Eun Young!

Oppa!

Let's go.

I should have played this for you last time.

I'm sorry.

I only knew how to run away, and didn't play it for you.

I hope that now...

it's not too late.

How can you cry now?

I want to make you happy by playing this.

Even Lee Ma Ri has read this book!

Read more books! Read books!

- Teacher! - What?

The problem lies in your knowledge of the issue, which is a bit too broad and superficial.

The supporting arguments are very weak.

Did you really write this yourself?

I found a slight conflict between the introduction and the main topics.

It probably won't be good if you're wrongly accused of ghostwriting!

Professor! Professor!

Yu Ri! Yu Ri! Omo! Yu Ri!

The band Oppas are here! Come out quickly!

Okay, Aunt!

Yu Ri. Oppa's here.

Oh, Oppa!

Wow, our Yu Ri did so many today.

Why is it so noisy outside?

The band members who used to play with Dad are here.

They've been travelling and performing. It's rare for them to come to Seoul.

Oh, really?

So are they going to perform here tonight?

By the way, why are you sitting on the floor?

Are you suffering a relapse?

No, it's not a relapse.

It's just a cramp after sitting and working too long.

How can I afford a relapse? The hospital fee is too costly.

Let's go out.

Hey! Chul Soo!

Doctor Kim!

Wow! Chul Soo has grown so big!

Do you still remember that I used to bathe you when you were young?

Oppa...

In the past, wasn't I super hot and the best? Right?

Tell me! I was the best! Right?

The best was Bo Young!

Why did you mention Bo Young?

You're right! Bo Young Unni!

Okay. Bo Young Unni, I admit!

Hey! Who is Bo Young?

Who is she, Bo Young?

Why did you mention her?

- Why? - In the past...

Bo Young sold the store without asking Big Sister,

and left for the U.S. with the money.

That's why we're living so poorly like this.

I told you not to mention that woman's name, didn't I?

Do you want to be kicked out?

You would be bored without me.

Who is she?

My mom.

I'm saying our mom.

Ah, really!

I... I have something to tell you, Big Aunt.

- What is it? - I'm thinking of getting a job.

Oppa!

I'm going to quit studying and get a job.

You've been so persistent. Why all of a sudden?

What? I thought your paper was awesome.

Aren't you going to be hired full time?

I should have quit earlier.

I only wanted to write novels, and not be a professor.

If I'm to care for you guys, I can't be so persistent.

Just like what Big Aunt has said... unreasonable.

Oppa! Don't! If you're doing it because of me...

I'm not doing it because of you.

If it's not for her, then, because you can't be a full-time professor?

If it's also not because of this,

are you doing it for the girl in Japan, whom you started seeing again?

Why? Did you change your mind once you had your girl?

Unni!

Rascal! What a selfish rascal!

Unni! Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Aren't you asking him to go?

You know... Why don't you write novels, Chul Soo?

I can't, Aunt.

I don't have the talent.

I think you're talented.

No. Rather than the substance or meaning of my book...

at a time when people have lost interest in culture,

there is novelty in an actress, me, writing a book on culture.

This has aroused people's attention.

So intellectual! Lee Ma Ri!

I knew it a long time ago.

But how did you find the time to read so many books?

You wouldn't have time to read them.

Because of acting, I barely graduated from high school.

Although I usually don't have time,

I do set aside some time for reading books.

You promised me that you wouldn't ask questions regarding my book and yet,

we've been talking about the book.

I'm almost confused whether I'm an author or an actress.

This is so strange. She always avoids questions about the book.

Everyone, have you read this book "The Lover of Asuka"?

Yes!

Of the books mentioned in "The Lover of Asuka", which do you like most?

For me, there are two.

They are impressive as they are written from a man's perspective.

Guess what are they? Anyone want to try and answer?

What are they?

The Sorrow of Young Werther.

The Catcher in the Rye...

What? How did you know that? You haven't read the book.

Have you, by any chance, read it already?

What a sly rascal you are!

No one?

Then, why don't you, Miss Ma Ri, tell them in person?

What is she doing? She doesn't even know the contents of her own book?

Well... although I mentioned it in the book,

it was just an emotion at that moment.

In this world, choosing books and pretty shoes are the most difficult to me.

Yes.

Speaking of which, your shoes are really pretty!

Hey! Aw...

I haven't seen her in ages.

Of late, she appeared on TV only rarely.

It's disturbing me.

Didn't you say that you were going to quit? Study for what?

Hey! Chul Soo!

Are you really going to quit school?

Yes.

Because of Eun Young?

- Hyung, have you read the book? - Of course, I have.

It is really good.

Lee Ma Ri is very special.

Whether it's an image that is created or not,

I just like the way she is.

Because I can never do that. Just like a dream.

That's right.

I felt like I was dreaming when I was in Japan.

But after that...

Reality appeared to be clearer than dreams.

It's as if I can never dream again.

Why is it so depressing?

Why am I so depressed?

- You're not staying? - Yes, according to the mood, I should leave.

You dream about Eun Young.

I'll dream about Lee Ma Ri.

Let's sleep well.

- Why? - Huh?

Nothing. Nothing at all.

This fellow... does he think he's a fan by just buying those clothes?

That's right, Lee Ma Ri!

No one can deny her attraction.

That's right. The most popular book lately, "The Lover of Asuka".

Lee Ma Ri, who has experienced many difficulties,

used them as a theme to write in the book, "The Lover of Asuka".

I heard that Lee Ma Ri's website on her book is out.

If I knew that you liked books so much,

we would have talked about books earlier.

Yes, I think so.

Miss Ma Ri, please say something to the audience.

My fellow audience,

the movie that is airing now, "Goodbye My Love",

and the book that I wrote, "The Lover of Asuka", thank you for your support.

When I was writing the book, the time that I spent in Japan for it,

was like a dream to me.

While reading the book, I would be very happy if you would, for a moment,

share that dream with me.

Thank you very much.

It's Lee Ma Ri. How could she call me?

Lee Ma Ri?

How can it be?

Ah, I am reading Miss Ma Ri's book.

I always thought you had delicate sensibilities,

but reading your book, I see they border on snobbish.

Although the masses will call it pedantic and what not,

if it weren't for snobs like us,

it would be hard to expand knowledge and understanding. What's your opinion?

Yes, that's right.

Director Jo...

and our Ma Ri are producers and artistes, right?

You are not a critic, are you?

Let's stop talking about this, and move on to work.

So, which topic in the book attracts you most?

Meaningful ones.

Miss Ma Ri is so chic.

Hey! Have you seen Ma Ri's face?

She's not as attractive as she used to be.

Right? That's why she published a book to attract more attention.

You're right, that book. It's rumored Ma Ri didn't write the book.

- Really? - Yes.

I don't know whether the rumor is true or not,

but authoring a book doesn't fit her image. That's why there are rumors everywhere.

Get ready! Action!

The most heartwarming gift for your lover this winter... would that be a book?

Cut! It was good, but let's do it once more.

Light and prop teams, please double-check the books.

Make up itself took two hours.

Why didn't you let me go?

There would be local and foreign reporters at that fashion show.

If you were there, what would you tell them?

How would we deal with the trouble if your mistakes were exposed?

From now on, there will be no more talk shows and interviews.

Then, should I just stay at home like this forever?

Noona, how can you have the time to stay at home?

You have CF shootings.

That's why I told you I didn't want to do it.

I didn't want to publish a book, did I?

I can't live like this forever. I can't just not meet anyone, can I?

Why don't you let me hire a tutor if I'm not up to it?

You used to be so clever. What's your problem?

If the information about you getting a tutor leaks out,

what do you think will happen?

Time will pass by.

All you need to do is stay low.

I will take care of this.

President Seo will take care of this?

Do you know how many companies are interested in you for their CF?

The same goes for movies.

Also, the number of your fans has increased.

Even those arrogant critics are starting to praise you.

Now, the whole world is stirring just because of that one book of yours.

Is that my book?

If it's not your book, whose book is it? Mine?

Where do you find this brand name?

You shouldn't be so worried like an idiot in this kind of situation.

You should be singing for joy.

While you're a top star doing pretty well,

do you want to just get married and end it all?

A level where no one has ever reached.

I want to go together.

You and me.

This... are you sure I'm included in that vision of yours?

Just do as I say.

Avoid all interviews. Wait till you start shooting the movie.

Go to the U.S. after you've finished shooting the movie.

Just ignore all the rumors.

If by that time the rumors about the book still persisted,

give them a scandal to write about.

Then the rumors will be forgotten.

The impression that will be left is that you've published a book, and an image.

The image of an intellectual Lee Ma Ri.

Yes, I'm Seo Tae Seok.

Yes, Director.

Yes.

I'll have to check Lee Ma Ri's schedule,

but I think it might be hard for her to be available for the--

I'm Lee Ma Ri.

I think I'm available for that.

Please talk to my Manager about the details.

He'll give you a call.

Yes.

There is no need for President Seo to decide for me.

I will handle my own things from now on.

I'll also decide

whether I am going to marry a guy, or just quit at this point.

Ma Ri!

It's enough that I've been fooled once by Woo Jin.

I won't be fooled again.

Woo Jin?

Who should I call for lunch today?

Hello...?

Hello, this is Kim Chul Soo's cell phone.

Hello? Hello?

Lee Ma Ri?

This fellow... which Lee Ma Ri?

Who on earth did he save the number as Lee Ma Ri?

It's me.

I'm Lee Ma Ri. I called your number just now.

Kim Chul Soo?

Stop playing games with me!

Crazy! I'm going crazy!

I'm going crazy.

Can't you hear me?

Hello?

Kim Chul Soo?

Who is this?

I'm...

Is this the Lee Ma Ri whom I know? Lee Ma Ri, the actress?

Hello!? Hello!? Hel..!?

What is going on here?

How does Chul Soo know Lee Ma Ri?

Where do you want to go now?

- I'll alight here. - Excuse me?

Don't wait for me. I'm going by myself.

Hand in the report that was assigned last week,

and don't forget next Wednesday.

Avoiding... Giving up dreams...

- Kim Chul Soo, long time no see. - Yes. Hello, how are you?

- Have you been well lately? - Yes.

PREVIEW

I don't wish to be entangled with you anymore.

I wish you would not disrupt my life in the future.

You're despicable.

Have we met before?

It's great to be able to have coffee with you in the morning.

I think there should be a limit.

I can't let her go on doing things her own way anymore.

Can you live with me for a month?
