Episode 10

You said you would stay by my side, right?

Was it a lie?

I won't ask for anything more.

As a friend...

Or as a partner in crime, can you stay with me?

I can't do that.

Why not?

He has a PhD in Korean literature from Seoul National University.

I see.

What are you doing here?

Don't you know it's dangerous for you to be here?

Why would you come here?

I wanted to be with you.

I came because I wanted to be with you.

You said you would stay by my side.

In this situation, the safest choice for you is to go abroad.

Why are you being so foolish?

I don't want to go abroad and stay by myself.

I also want to see how Mr. Seo takes care of this.

What did he say he'll do?

You won't get hurt.

The agreement was based on the condition that your name won't be mentioned.

Agreement?

So what was the rest of the agreement?

If that was your condition, then what was Mr. Seo's?

There's just one condition.

Don't see Kim Chul Soo again.

What did Mr. Seo ask for in return?

I know he'll take care of this.

He's a master at these things.

Lee Ma Ri.

Professor Kim, come downstairs!

They're saying that Lee Ma Ri's been hospitalized.

It's not easy to live as an actress in Korea.

I believe this issue also arose because of the stereotypes people have about actresses.

Lee Ma Ri has been hospitalized.

Who'll take responsibility if something happens to her?

I'll make sure the fake ghostwriter is punished.

And this was the press interview with Kim, who claims to have been the ghostwriter for Lee Ma Ri's book.

This is the first draft of "Lovers in Asuka".

And these are pictures of the manuscript that I took.

Why did you decide to make the confession?

The guilt was killing me.

I thought it would be forgotten, but when the book became so popular,

it was really unbearable for me.

But I was the only one who was struggling.

When I saw Lee Ma Ri on TV shamelessly claiming that the book was hers,

it made me mad!

I couldn't stand watching an actress brag like that anymore.

Let's talk.

Wait.

What happened?

And what's going on between you and Chul Soo?

We're friends.

We met through work.

Work?

What kind of work would enable you to become friends with Lee Ma Ri?

Ghostwriting.

Definitely shall not exist, I'll make myself clear again.

Oppa.

What happened?

That imposter!

How could that happen?

You've to refute it, Mr. Seo!

Mr. Seo, did you see it?

What did Lee Ma Ri ever do wrong?

How dare an imposter... Don't worry.

I'll write up an article right away.

What?

That he's an imposter.

And the proof?

Because the real ghostwriter is Kim Chul...

Hello?

Ma Ri didn't leave the country?

No no, don't bother.

It's alright.

I know where she is.

It's a good thing.

Since an impostor came forth, at least you're safe.

That imposter is the work of Mr. Seo?

Then how could he say all those bad things about you?

It's okay.

That'll actually create sympathy.

You want sympathy?

Don't say that.

We've no options now.

There are options.

Then are you telling me to come clean about the ghostwriting?

I'm not here to fight with you.

Don't do that.

What?

That look.

It's the "You're so pathetic" look.

It's just that this is about you,

but you don't know anything about what will happen next.

Taking care of these problems is Mr. Seo's job.

He won't hurt me.

I'm valuable property to him, so why would he hurt his own merchandise?

I don't like you thinking that way.

You don't mind just being merchandise?

I didn't like it either!

So I tried to stand on my own but this is the result.

There's absolutely nothing I can do.

That's what I realized.

Ma Ri...

Then you'll just sit back and watch

come back at the appropriate time,

and go on lying for the rest of your life?

Do you really have to say that?

Then what else do you expect from me?

You said you would stay by my side!

I haven't changed my mind!

Then don't say anything

and just stay by my side.

I don't know how to comfort people.

And I can't tell someone they're right when I know they're wrong.

So why did you come see me?

Because I like you!

Because I want to be with you.

Big aunt.

You're such a jerk.

Can't you see her crying?

Come downstairs.

Were you planning to sleep together?

Dr Kim and Lee Ma Ri aren't dating, are they?

Shouldn't be, there's still Eun Young.

I'm not satisfied with her.

the girlfriend is always at home.

Don't treat her too well either.

If Eun Young knew, how hurt should be.

Really? I like Lee Ma Ri more.

She's even prettier in real life!

I should've washed the pillowcases.

It's not a matter of just washing them.

She probably uses silk pillowcases and silk blankets...

In a nice house...

So we're sleeping in the same room with Lee Ma Ri today?

Miss Lee Ma Ri, we laid out the blankets for you.

Here.

It looks like you're going through something horrible.

Just get a good rest and think later.

Make yourself at home.

Thank you.

- Give me some! - What will it be?

You know...

Yes.

You know Yoon Ji Hoon?

Did you two really date?

No.

Actually...

he dated Lee Min Ji.

Really?

But Lee Min Ji was also dating Kim Hoon at the time, so...

Kim Hoon?

So she was two-timing?

But Hoon was also dating Lee So Yong the singer, so...

But I heard that Lee Min Ji actually...

Hey!

Talk a little louder.

Some snacks...

- Sleep, sleep, sleep... - Stop it you!

- Aigoo. - That's good.

Here take this.

You said you were good at this...

I've only played this online.

Can't I just cancel my last play?

You can't do that.

I've scored, I've scored I've scored...

Thank you.

This one, I'll be eating up.

You've got a great winning streak. -Look at this, look at this...

Why is your luck always so hot?

Me. Me. Me

Yes?

Where are you?

Did you arrive in Japan?

Are you in Japan?

No.

Thank you.

What?

I thought you had run away again.

If you had run away,

I was going to run to Kim Chul Soo's school right now.

Mr. Seo.

Things are going well here. You don't need to worry.

When do you want to come back?

In a few days.

Well, it'll be the last time you see him, so enjoy it.

Don't forget your promise.

When you come back, you've to forget him and go back to the way you were before you met Kim Chul Soo.

Okay

I promise.

Isn't it a bit early to be calling?

It's a bit early, but I just had to check something.

Kim Chul Soo...

Lee Ma Ri's ghostwriter.

Oh, there's another ghostwriter?

There are so many people claiming to be the ghostwriter.

You don't need to worry about anyone else finding out about Kim Chul Soo.

I just happened to find out because of my own personal curiosity.

Are you disappointed?

That it was written by a ghostwriter?

In my ways.

No.

I found out everything I wanted to know.

Is Ma Ri doing okay?

I thought she might be with you.

Ma Ri's still in Korea.

Ma Ri's boyfriend, huh?

Come and eat.

Come and eat.

Unni told me to come and get you.

Unni?

It's decent.

That means it's good.

Wow, this is to die for.

Chul Soo, try it. It's good.

I know...

You haven't made up yet?

We never fought.

You made her cry last night.

His rotten attitude...He's just like his mother.

Big aunt.

Last time, you said he was like you.

He's really mean.

Are you two going out?

No.

Kun-Unni*, we're not.

(*Big Sister)

Kun-Unni?

She insists that we look too young to be called "Aunties."

How old did you say I look?

42.

What about me?

35?

And me?

31?

Bingo.

Byung Joon hyung.

Chul Soo

Are you watching the news right now?

Did you see yesterday's news when the fake ghostwriter was on?

The table's been turned big time.

What do you mean?

Ghostwriter Kim, who heaped insulting remarks on Lee Ma Ri,

was identified as the man who falsely claimed on an online literary site, to have ghostwritten various novels.

He has to be fake.

the real one's right here.

And because Le Ma Ri's health has deteriorated due to severe stress,

more and more people are expressing their concern.

The articles been taken care of.

How many cranes have you folded?

Okay.

He's an imposter.

He's well known among bloggers.

I only recognize his face but don't know much..

Who knew it would be revealed so fast?

We received a memo a few days ago that the publisher had their manuscript stolen.

Really?

So he gave that interview with a stolen manuscript?

So Lee Ma Ri's in the clear now?

"Lee Ma Ri's in the clear..."

They wouldn't sue us, would they?

No way...

"They're preparing a lawsuit..."

It's just for reference.

There's Seo.

Which hospital is Lee Ma Ri staying at?

Please tell us about the imposter ghostwriter.

Can we have an interview with Lee Ma Ri?

Representative, representative, wait up!

Please just give us one comment.

We've to get out of this somehow.

What's going to happen to us?

Lee Ma Ri asked that we don't make a case out of this incident anymore,

so we decided not to sue.

Shouldn't you go see Mr. Seo?

I just don't think this is the right way to resolve this.

You avoided danger, and for me...

It'll probably turn into a controversy, but it'll die down eventually.

I'm sure Mr. Seo compensated that ghostwriter hansomely.

So everyone's okay now.

No one got hurt.

You call this okay?

Don't start this again.

I can't understand you.

Can't you just understand?

It's just..

When something is wrong, I wish you would just admit it's wrong.

Please stop saying things that will make people sad.

If I confess that I used a ghostwriter,

I would hurt not only myself but other around me, including you.

Let's not use other people as your excuse.

Okay, let's stop

I guess we just could never understand each other.

I guess we just can't stay together.

Is that right?

Well, I...

object.

When Mr. Seo decided to take care of this problem, what did you agree to do in return?

I promised,

I wouldn't see you anymore.

So you came here to see me one last time?

I blabbed for no reason.

Why does my opinion matter when everything's been decided already.

That's not true.

It's true.

You already decided to go along with Mr. Seo's decision,

and you decided not to see me again.

So why did you even come see me like this?

Are you playing games with me?

How could you call this a game?

Then what is this?

I came because I wanted to see you.

Stop saying those things.

I don't want a dramatic goodbye.

I don't want to do that with you.

So stop it already.

What's this?

We're not late, are we?

I don't want to be late for my first shoot.

What's with your outfit?

I'm going to be changing anyway.

I didn't want to get it dirty.

I told you to wear a suit at all times.

You're playing an intelligent, talented character this time,

so you'll have to portray that image for a while.

I hate suits.

That's one thing I liked about not being Ma Ri's bodyguard anymore.

I'm sick of getting them cleaned and ironed.

I like this style of clothes.

It suits me.

What you like and the image you've to portray are two different things.

What are you trying to say now?

Whatever. I'm only going to wear suits when I'm acting.

Min Jang Soo!

There's something I learned from Ma Ri.

What?

Ma Ri said people should only do as much as they can handle.

What's Ma Ri left with after trying to portray the image of an intellectual through a ghostwriter?

That's the world you're trying to get into.

Don't you know?

I know more about that world than you do.

I'm going to live the way I want. I just have to be good at acting, right?

What is the time?

We're going to be late!

What's that thermos for?

This?

I've to pass out some coffee.

This is my mom's famous "Madam Kim Coffee."

Whenever Ma Ri had a shoot, people loved this coffee.

You're saying you'll pass that out?

Are you crazy? You're an actor now.

Just trust me,

Who knows if I'll score some extra lines because of this?

Come on, let's go.

What a weirdo.

Why didn't you come with Oppa?

I told you, I just happened to be in the area.

Is something going on with you and Oppa?

Is that your laundry?

Yes.

Oppa said he'll pick these up.

I'll take them for you.

It's okay, unni.

I want to.

Please.

You want to go see Oppa, right?

Mom.

Yu Ri.

Who's that person who just left?

That's Oppa's girlfriend.

You haven't met her yet, right?

What do her parents do?

She looks pretty rich.

I heard that her father is a very famous writer.

Really?

Someone Oppa admires.

Right.

I heard Chul Soo wants to write novels.

He's not dating her to get ahead.

He's not like that.

She's really a great person.

Okay.

I didn't say anything.

It's me.

I told you not to call.

Okay.

I'll have to find a way.

I'll pay you back.

I'll pay you back!

I'll pay you back!

Just wait.

Yes.

Who?

Crazy~ Crazy~

What is it?

I should wash the dishes.

Go upstairs.

What if someone sees you?

It's okay.

I'm good at washing dishes. I've done it a lot

Okay.

I shouldn't?

I'll help you.

Yes.

They're broken.

Hello.

I brought Yuri's laundry.

Eun Young.

Lee Ma Ri?

Hello.

Eun Young...

What are you doing here?

I'm just...

What are you doing here?

Eun Young.

I told her to sleep over.

She was in a helpless situation, so I let her sleep in our room.

And I made Chul Soo leave.

There's nothing to see here. Go upstairs

Let's go upstairs and talk.

What's going on?

They don't seem like they're meeting for the first time, right?

I think something went wrong between Eun Young and Professor Kim.

And Lee Ma Ri came between them.

Shut up.

Don't stick your nose into the boy's business.

You want to have a seat?

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry.

You don't need to apologize to me.

We broke up.

Why?

Oppa asked to end it, but I didn't agree to it.

I'm waiting, believing that his decision was made impulsively.

I know he's going through a lot,

so I wanted to be there for him.

I'm sorry.

You and Kim Chul Soo talk the same way.

You two are a lot alike.

I really don't understand you.

How can you be so carefree?

Don't you know the situation you're in?

What a careless decision you've made here.

What were you thinking?

If anyone sees you here...

Why in the world did you come here?

I couldn't think of anywhere else to go.

You're a bad person.

You're selfish and self-centered.

You've so much, and yet you so afraid of losing a little.

So you came to Oppa to whine?

He's already going through a lot as it is.

Please...

Please, Lee Ma Ri...

Don't be with Oppa.

It worries me when you're with him.

I feel like horrible things will happen to him.

I know.

I like Chul Soo too,

so I don't want anything to happen to him.

I feel the same way.

Mr. Kim Chul Soo is here.

Can you please wait for a moment?

Can you bring us some tea?

I'm sorry to keep you waiting.

Hello. I'm Jung Woo Jin.

I'm Kim Chul Soo.

We've run into each other a few times, right?

I'm surprised you're not Lee Ma Ri's bodyguard or agent as you said,

but I'm glad to meet you nonetheless.

I'm sorry I lied to you.

That's fine.

There must've been a good reason.

I'm sure you couldn't honestly say you were her ghostwriter.

I really enjoyed "Lovers in Asuka".

I almost want to meet with you and talk about it sometime.

Thank you.

But...

Why don't you end it with Ma Ri?

Have a seat.

I'm sorry, but...

I don't think you should stay here any longer.

It could cause problems for Chul Soo.

Right?

They keep talking about the ghostwriting on TV...

And I feel bad for Eun Young too...

I don't know what happened between Eun Young and Chul Soo,

but I don't think it's right for us to be doing this.

Did they break up?

I feel bad too, but I also think it would be right for you to leave.

Yes.

I was thinking of leaving too.

I'm sorry.

But can I leave after I see Chul Soo?

Since I got here, we've done nothing but fight.

When he comes back,

I want to say some nice things to him before leaving.

I don't know when I'll be seeing him again, so...

Do you...

I like him.

I've had a crush on him for a while.

One-sided on my part.

He's a pretty prideful guy.

I'll leave after I see him.

Mr. Seo is aware.

I see.

And at this rate, the media will eventually find out.

I think the problem has been resolved,

so it would be good for Ma Ri to come back.

Why don't you talk to her directly?

Sadly, I don't think she'll listen to me right now.

I thought you would understand her situation well.

Well, I can't afford to sit down and try to understand other people's situations.

And I don't understand why I've to hear you say these things to me

Living as a star suits Lee Ma Ri.

So why don't you just let her live that way?

That's up to Lee Ma Ri to decide.

And I really don't want to listen to anyone my business with her.

I'm leaving now.

I first saw her at an orphanage.

After she lost her parents, she must've been raised by her grandmother who ran that orphanage.

She was a lot different than the way she is now.

No one cared for her or liked her.

I think that's why she needed love.

Ma Ri has been surviving on the public's love and attention alone, without family or friends.

So can you imagine what she has to give up in order to be with you?

The Ma Ri I know is probably different than the Ma Ri you know.

She is.

The Ma Ri I know isn't that weak.

She's strong.

She's honest and warmhearted.

She startles me at times, but she's brave enough to be honest about her feelings.

Goodbye now.

I am currently in front of the hospital where Lee Ma Ri is reported to have checked in.

[Attending Physician: Kim Eung Gyu Patient: Lee Ma Ri Managing Nurse: Lee Won Hee]

We're now at the hospital where Lee Ma Ri's staying.

It's pretty urgent.

You'll have to come back sooner than you planned. You'll have to help me out now.

Okay.

I'll return tomorrow.

[Star Lee Ma Ri Recuperates at Nearby Seoul Hospital]

This is tragic. How did things get this far? Who exposed the secret?

Lee Ma Ri, don't worry.

I, Jun Byung Joon, will stake my name as a reporter,

and without a doubt,

uncover this absurdity.

Yes, this is it!

Right?

That's what I've been wondering.

who the hell?

Who did it?

How?

How did that person know such intimate details?

Details that only her closest associates know.

Her closest associates?

These secrets usually get out through associates.

And they must've some sort of relationship with reporters.

That's how the reporters can trust the source.

That's right.

Then who would her closest associate be?

Someone who's close to Ma Ri, but...

who holds a grudge.

A grudge?

No!

You scared me.

Ma Ri is simple. You're either close to her or you're not.

"Someone who's close to Lee Ma Ri, but who holds a grunder..."

Noona!

Lee Ma Ri?

Where are you right now?

You're not abroad, right?

Hi, this is Jun Byung Joon.

Okay, I'll be right over.

Then what time?

Cheer up.

I'm so disappointed.

Why haven't you called me?

Disappointed?

A grudge...

I'll be back.

Think about it.

Keep up the good work.

Why does he keep startling me?

Her closest associates...

A grudge...

Min Jang Soo.

Her former bodyguard and agent, Min Jang Soo.

Where are you going? We should rehearse.

I can't rehearse today.

What?

Ma Ri called me.

Where is she?

I absolutely can't tell you.

I should've shaved today.

Why does Lee Ma Ri drive everyone crazy?

They would do anything for...

What?

Do you like me or something?

What?

Never mind if you don't.

Bye.

Min Jang Soo.

It's him.

The Ma Ri I know isn't that weak.

She's strong.

She's honest and warmhearted.

She startles me at times, but she's brave enough to be honest about her feelings.

Even people like her need a rescuer at times.

You're here.

What are you doing on my bed?

What are you reading?

"The Little Prince."

Again?

This is my favorite.

You're not reading "The Karamazov Brothers?"

I don't think I can read that one.

It's too heavy and boring.

But I still won't give up.

I'll finish the other 28 books first and make that my final challenge.

You'll read all of them?

I will.

When we meet again someday

let's talk about those books.

You're leaving.

Do you have any final words for me?

Maybe a word or two...

There'll be lots of problems when you go back.

You still have problems with me?

You still think I'm too harsh?

Should I announce that it was ghostwritten?

Will you do it if you're told to?

Don't do it.

Do what you want.

Whatever will make you happy.

That's what I wish for you.

Really?

I mean it.

I've heard what I wanted to hear

but I'm not happy.

Goodbye.

Noona!

You're here?

Come on in.

They're all here. You said it's top secret.

He said it's top secret.

Hurry, hurry.

Camera! Get the camera ready!

Look at me.

We don't need anything else.

We just need your tears.

I'll take care of the rest.

This is our last hurdle.

Let's do this well.

After this, we can go back to how things used to be.

You can do it, right?

Oppa.

They're ready.

Come in.

Miss. Ma Ri, how are you? Tell us something!

I...

Look at her.

Are you all happy now?

Are you all happy that you trampled on her like this?

Does this look like the top actress of Asia to you?

How will you ever compensate for this?

In a situation where something false is claimed to be true,

How long do actors have to suffer in a world where lies become truth?

My book...

If anyone spreads rumors about ghostwriting,

or any negative things about Lee Ma Ri again,

we won't let him get away with it!

Got that?

Should I announce that it was ghostwritten?

Do what you want.

Whatever will make you happy.

That's what I wish for you.

"Lovers In Asuka.."

wasn't written by me.

It was written by a ghostwriter.

Are you admitting that it was ghostwritten?

Who did it?

I take full responsibility for this.

Oppa.

Byung Joon hyung.

Chul Soo.

Something big has cropped up.

Lee Ma Ri confessed that the book was ghostwritten.

What are you going to do now?

What will happen to you now?

Where?

Okay.

Since the ghostwriting confession has already been made, what do you plan to do now?

- Who is the ghostwriter? - Why did they ghostwrite?

What was Lee Ma Ri's reason for ghostwriting?

Everyone.

You all remember the Paper Bag Dude, right?

The Paper Bag Dude...

was Lee Ma Ri's ghostwriter and her lover.

You called Kim Chul Soo, right?

How did you know?

He's right out...

What are you doing here?

What were you thinking?

Everyone, I give you the Paper Bag Dude!

Isn't that Chul Soo?

Oppa.

It's Chul Soo.
