Episode 17

Kim Chul Soo!

Kim Chul Soo!

Kim Chul Soo!

She might not show up.

Yes, she will.

She understands very well how the media works,

so she'll know that this is the best way
to put to rest the ghostwriting scandal.

She knows very well.

Thank you.

I know this isn't an easy thing to do.

Maybe I'm considering this as an opportunity.

That's all.

How much time do we have until the interview?

I'm worried. I think I should look for her.

Ma Ri!

He'll never forgive me for this.

Then tell him not to.

Even if he'll never forgive you,
you're doing the right thing.

You can't continue to ruin his life.

Yours, too.

Top star Lee Ma Ri and ANC's President
Jung Woo Jin have announced their engagement.

The two announced that they had been engaged
before the ghostwriting scandal surfaced.

How long have you been dating?

What caused you to accept the engagement?

Something must have happened.
Please tell us the reason.

We've been dating for quite a while,

but I was careful about revealing our relationship
because of the various scandals.

I hope there won't be any more misunderstanding.

The scandals with the ghostwriter...

are all untrue.

[Lee Ma Ri and President Jung Woo Jin Engaged]

[Ghostwriter Kim Chul Soo Turns Out to be Scapegoat]

[President Seo Tae Suk's schemes exposed]

Hey, look.

President Seo Tae Suk of
the former TS Entertainment

has been appointed as President
of the U.S. branch of ANC,

after causing a scandal for having manipulated
the actors of his agency, including Lee Ma Ri.

Many assume that this is a
disciplinary action on the part of ANC.

[Kim Chul Soo's new book, "Night of Dream"]

[Night of Dream]

[One year later]

She's avoiding us again.

That was Lee Ma Ri, who has been
avoiding all interviews lately.

- She's so cold.
- Did you see him?

- That was the millionaire, right?
- Her fianc�.

They've been talking about their wedding
for a year now.

Over here, Ma Ri.

- Have you picked a film?
- I'll look at the scripts first.

Don't just say that. Really read them.

An actor should be doing films.

Well, which one should I pick?

I picked a few scripts
and left them at your place.

Have you seen Jang Soo?

I'll go ahead and get seated.

Have you?

I'm not here to see him.

- Hold on.
- You said Ma Ri's here.

You can't come in here
before you take the stage.

Noona!

It's been ages.

Good job.

I don't really feel like watching
this movie. I'll get going.

You're leaving already?

I've heard lots of good reviews on your movie.

Well, I'm just honored that you're watching it.

You should stay and watch it.

It's not my kind of movie.

- I'm looking forward to it.
- Thanks, Noona.

Is this too weird?

You two look so good together.

I don't think I have ever heard
I look good with the man I dated.

It's different with you.

You know I have a pretty good countenance.

What?

You were frowning again when they
were taking pictures of you, weren't you?

Yes.

- Did I look fierce?
- Yes.

It'd be nice if you could look
more approachable in pictures.

- Why?
- My grandfather said,

"Why does this girl always look mad?".

Your grandfather?

- That's a relief.
- What?

You didn't say "Why should I care?".

You get a reward for that.

Give me your hand.

You opened up to me today.

I told you I'd catch you off guard, didn't I?

I'd like you to continue acting in films,

but if you don't want to,
how about marrying me?

Think about it.

I will, but...

This is a bit heavy.

Just wear it while you are thinking about it.

I've been carrying that around too long.

I took care of the bills and settled the tax issues.

I settled your bank account, too.

Please read the scripts.

[Wire Transfer: Kim Chul Soo]

I'd like you to continue acting in films,

but if you don't want to,
how about marrying me?

What to do?

You finally picked the scripts, but
there are problems with all three of them.

Why?

One of them has already been taken
by Kim Chae Yon.

The second is having problems finding investors.

And the one that you want the most
would be great, since the director is Kim Hon,

but the original writer
doesn't want you to do it.

I think you should go with the second script.

If you decide to do it,
they'll be able to find investors.

Wait a minute...
What?

- What?
- Who doesn't want me?

The original writer, so the author
of the book, I guess.

Because of my scandals?

No, they say he doesn't think
you fit the character.

But I feel that the character is so like me.
That's why I want to do it.

Can you ask one more time?

Okay.

The publisher?

It's Director Kim Hon who fell in love with
the novel, and offered to make it into a movie.

Director Kim's going to the publisher
to meet the author.

You don't really have to bother going.

I want to meet him, too.

So you can fight with him?

No, I just want to meet the author.

This way.

It's Lee Ma Ri.

It's an honor, Miss Lee Ma Ri.

Hello.

Hello, Director Kim.
How are you?

Is she the writer?

Yes, I've always worked with her.

I've always wanted to work with you.

So when will I have the honor?

What?

Then who's the original writer?

Oh, him.

There's a reason he doesn't want you to do it.

Writer Kim!

Mr. Kim Chul Soo.

I'm not doing interviews.

Then how will we market your new book?

You have to give us a break.

Your book is getting great reviews by the critics,

but it's a bit challenging for the average reader.

- How was my book marketed?
- What?

That advertisement in the newspaper.

"Hugh Grant of Literature"?

"Literary Idol"?

Why does a women's magazine
want to interview me?

It's obvious that Lee Ma Ri's scandal
will be the main topic,

but I don't want to be involved in gossip again.

But the interview has already been set up.

They're waiting to interview you downstairs.

I'm not doing interviews! Go back inside.

This is a little serious.

I know your position,
but if you just think of it as work...

Well, I don't care, so go ahead.

If getting everyone's attention again
isn't a problem for you, I don't mind, either.

Okay. Mr. Kim,
say 'Hi' to the wife for me.

Okay.

Mr. Kim!

No pictures, please!

I think he objected because
of the gossip and rumors.

But if you're okay with it,
I don't mind either.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Don't take pictures. I'll sue you all!

Kim Chul Soo!

I liked the script,

but I didn't know it was based on your book.

You haven't read my book?

No, I didn't have the time,
and you know I don't like to read.

I just thought people would start
talking again if we worked together.

If you don't mind, then go ahead.

If you decide to do it,
you'll help the production.

Did you get married?

You should have told me.

I heard it for the first time today.

I hear a lot about you.

When are you getting married?

This...

You always disregard the man you're with?

I won't get involved in this,
so you make the decision.

Is it Eun Young?

Why do you want to know?

We are never going to
see each other again, anyway.

Take care.

So he got married?

What are you doing?

I'm dying. There was seminar after seminar.

Then why are you waiting for me?

So you didn't do the interview?

I didn't feel like it.

Why would they want to interview an author
who has written only two books?

They were only going to ask you about
your scandal with Lee Ma Ri, weren't they?

- You didn't want to?
- Not that. I just didn't know what to say.

If I told the reporters that
we'd never dated, I would be lying.

Saying we did date would make Lee Ma Ri a liar.

She has even held a press conference
in which she said we'd never dated.

You still look angry.

No. These days,

I just think that I met someone
whom I never should have met.

I saw Lee Ma Ri today.

Yes, I'm sure.

You're really not doing it?
I don't think it's a good decision.

Yes, if Kim Chul Soo is the original author...

What happened to whom?

Ah, you scared me!

That's right. I don't have
the confidence to do it well.

I'm not doing it anymore. Yes.

She doesn't read books, and
doesn't know who wrote the script.

I feel that Unni should forget that man.

You are like this because
you don't understand love.

What?

When you and I broke up,
you also didn't read books.

We never dated and we never broke up.

Did Noona say to use Teacher's book
to film the movie?

That's why she's not doing it.

Did the two meet?

Is it important if the two
met each other or not?

Take care of your own problems first.

Ah, that... I met her again.

What is it now?

It seems a scandal is coming.

I mean, Min Soon noona was
always wanting to drink with me.

So I went drinking with her, but
it turned out that I got photographed.

We really have nothing going on.

The two of us really have nothing to do
with each other! We only drink together...

- ... just drinking.
- You, really...

Let's just change your publicity image,

- "Female Actresses' Puppy".
- What?

How can you go and have
eight scandals within a year?

Because of that break up,
you are still like that?

Ah, really.

Didn't you say it didn't count as dating?

{Book Title: Night of Dream]

[In a white dream, I saw a past lover.]

I'll have a drink first.

- Please enjoy.
- Yes, thank you.

- Eun Young!
- Hurry and come in!
- It's been a long time!

The revisions of Oppa's book are out today,
so I came over.

- You wanted to be the first to see it?
- Oh, my!

Our Eun Young is quite amazing!

How will you finish reading such a difficult book?

- Let me help you.
- Okay. Over there.

- Oppa, wash the bowls.
- Oh, shall I?

No, it's alright. We can handle it.

It's fine. Let me do it.

Dr. Kim, wash what bowls?

Aigoo! Ah, put them down.

Ah, put them down, I can do it.

- No, let me do it.
- Put them down, I'll do it.

Let me do it.

- You'll ruin your suit.
- It's okay.

Let's wash them together then.

[In a white dream, I saw a past lover.]

Mr. Kim, say 'Hi' to the wife for me.

Did you get married?

What is this?
I can't even read a book.

It's good.

I like it better than the first one.

I guess Lee Ma Ri never read your book,

if she didn't know the movie
is based on your book.

She doesn't like to read.

She probably couldn't read it.

Do you have time tomorrow?
Do you want to do lunch?

I can't tomorrow.

I'm going on a blind date tomorrow.

You surprised me. I was taken aback.

Should I not?

Of course you should.

Hello?

Lee Ma Ri's not going to do it?

I understand.

- Come, come, to saving our company.
- To saving our company!

Sunbae, then what happened?

I stared at him and said,
"Isn't this all your fault?"

After that, Seo Tae Suk said to me,
"Reporter Jun Byung Joon, it's my mistake".

After that he got down and knelt before me.

And then in front of all those reporters,
Seo Tae Suk begged me.

Yes, you guys really should have seen it.

You seem to be blowing it
more and more out of proportion.

That was reporter Jun Byung Joon's
independent special news report.

- Let's drink.
- Ah, right now I'm preparing another scoop!

- What?
- Actress Lee Ma Ri's contract marriage.

What? This is real.

Dating the President of ANC isn't real.
I have definite proof in my hands!

I'm going to have indigestion. I'm so sick
and tired of reports on Lee Ma Ri!

Right now, Kim Tae Yeon is the best!

That's not right. The hottest
right now is Yoo Eun Sang.

I say, Lee Ma Ri is Lee Ma Ri, right?

She hasn't made a movie for a while.
Isn't Lee Ma Ri already done for?

So annoying!

Other than Seo Tae Suk, is there anyone
who can support Lee Ma Ri?

Come, come, come, drink!
We've to walk to the end!

Congratulations on your second piece.

It was piercing and refreshing,
to the point of rousing senses buried inside.

How about having lunch the day after tomorrow?

And, give Lee Ma Ri a call.

I read an article saying that she's
procrastinating on her return to films.

[Lee Ma Ri]

[Kim Chul Soo]

Hello?

What's up?

I heard you're not going to be in the film.

Right.

I feel bad, you know.

Just do it.

Why?

I objected initially because
I didn't want to run into you again,

and I didn't think you fit the image.

I think the character is a lot like me.

To me, she isn't.

I see.

Anyway, since we have already
run into each other,

I'd feel more uncomfortable
if you didn't do it.

Therefore, if you want to do it, do it.

- When did it happen?
- What?

You getting married.

When did you get married?

When did you get married?

Was it a few months after we broke up?

I was drinking, and I got curious.

I wonder when it happened?

You drink?

Yes, I drink sometimes.

That's how you've been living?

Not working, and just drinking alone at night?

Yes, that's how I ended up.

What do you mean that's how you ended up?

Why did you call?

Someone told me to.

She was concerned because you haven't been working.

Eun Young?

I'm done talking, so I'll let you go now.

I'll do it.

I'll be in the movie.

Thank you for the call.

Okay.

What?

So Lee Ma Ri will be in Chul Soo's movie?

[Jung Woo Jin]

- Hello?
- I've finished working.

I heard you picked something,
but changed your mind.

Doing it?

Well, Congratulations!

What's wrong with your voice?

Have you been drinking?

Why did you drink?

I'm going to my grandfather's.
We have our breakfast date tomorrow.

Should I come over?

Do you want to?

You never let anyone come over at night.

No, I was joking.

Well, I still feel good.

I feel like I've hit the jackpot.

Let's have lunch tomorrow.

Okay.

I'll come to your office.

Oh, our company will produce the film.

I have to talk to you about that.

So you're going to be in a film
based on Kim Chul Soo's book?

Read it over. It's good.

What's wrong?

People will gossip again,
and the problem will resurface.

They've probably forgotten about it.

How amusing is this?

An actress and her ghostwriter reunite
through a film, as actress and author.

- Don't do it.
- What?

What do you think of me?

I've never made you any promises, and
I've never contracted with ANC officially.

Then what do you think of me?

Why are you doing this?

I'll make my own decisions.

I'm doing it.

- Okay?
- Are you asking me?

Yes.

Fine, then let's sign a contract.

- Do we have to?
- And I'm going to produce it.

I heard Ma Ri's going to be in a film.

I knew you'd run here
first thing in the morning.

- I want to be in it, too.
- Hyung!

- Set up an audition for me.
- Hyung, I'm the one who should--

You really want to get connected
to me like that?

So if I worked with Ma Ri,
I'd be connected to her Manager, too?

I had no idea.

The only roles that are left are the
leading woman's brother or her first love.

- Noona, I'm supposed to find those...
- Her first love, of course.

No, which one gets to act with Ma Ri more?

Where's the script? Script, script!

I knew you haven't even read the script.

Here it is.

The brother has seven more scenes
than the first love,

but the first love gets to
kiss her on her forehead.

- Kiss?
- I'll make arrangements for the first love.

Okay, call me.

But... you already checked the characters?

That was my promise.

I said I'd let you be in a movie
with Ma Ri if you made it big.

Good luck.

Not a word.

Welcome, everyone. We'll now start
reading the script of "Lost Times".

- You haven't seen her lately?
- No, I see her often.

What are you asking? Father
made a big decision to give way.

We aren't really dating, though.
She shut me out long ago.

So you must still resent me.

This might work.

No.

Maybe this.

This? A leather skirt?

No.

In the film, there is a scene
where I watch an elderly couple.

The couple sits on a park bench at sunset,
and fixes each other's clothes.

This is such a typical scene,
but it made me cry a lot.

I just want a man who will stay by my side.

Stop eating!

We're not open yet.

Is this Kim Chul Soo's place?

- Yes.
- So?
- Who are you?

Oh, I'm Chul Soo's professor from college.

Aigoo, you are?

Hello.

We never had the chance to pay you a visit.

Who goes to visit their child's college professors?

- Please have a seat.
- Thank you.
- Go bring something to drink.

Okay, okay receive him.

Chicken, chicken, chicken!

- Our chicken's very good.
- Ah, yes.

Professor, you are very handsome.

You are too kind.

Please have a drink.

You're so handsome.

- Please try this.
- Thank you.

Hey! That's too uncultured,
not how you do it.

Have a wing.

Cheers.

Cheers!

Professor Ahn, what are you doing here?

The publisher sent me a copy of your book.

I live nearby and I'm supposed to meet
Eun Young today, so I decided to drop in.

Have a seat.

This time it's also a love story?

Yes.

Sometimes a reader will be curious about the
story behind an author's writing. Yours is like that.

I'm a person without many stories.

How could a person with nothing to say
become an author?

I guess that's right.

Oh, and I met with Writer Choi,
and he asked about you.

- How's it going with Eun Young?
- Oh, Eun Young?

Eun Young attends matchmaking dates and things.
She's not with me, Professor.

Is that so? What about the actress?

Oh, that person?

I like this look,

but I think Director Kim
has something else in mind.

Do you really have to go with this film?

Why?

I don't like who the original writer is.

- Have you met him?
- Yes.

You weren't yourself at that time.

Everyone was against it, but
you just related to each other,

because you both were
going through some difficulties.

President Jung is okay with it?

He didn't say anything to you, did he?

The Chairman must have given him
strict orders to get married.

If you won't marry him,
it has to be somebody else.

I see.

Men who do business need
a woman to look after them.

A lot of people consider single men incompetent.

- What do you think about this style?
- It's good.

I like that style.

The plot is so sad.

I wonder if it's about me and him.

It's heart-wrenching.

You...

I'm just talking about the movie.

He's already married, anyway.

I heard he's married.

- What?
- He's not?

He says he's single in all his interviews...

You've never seen his interviews?

I'm sure I was blinded because
it was such a special experience.

At first it was in Japan, later,
I felt like a partner-in-crime,

and then above all, she's a star.

Right.

So I think those things made the experience
much more significant than it actually was.

Feeling like today is the last day, and
you'll die if you don't see her again?

Don't you think you're lucky
to have experienced love like that?

Do you think you could do that again
if you reunited with her?

No.

I think when the situation changes,
feelings change, too.

- Professor.
- Oh! Come in.

So... you wanted to appear
like you were married, didn't you?

How did the blind date go?

What?

I didn't go.

We couldn't work out a time.

You were thinking about that?

No.

Let's have dinner tomorrow.

Tomorrow...

I can't do it tomorrow.
I'm going for a retreat.

A retreat?

We're going to work on the script.

I heard that Lee Ma Ri
has decided to do it.

That's irrelevant to me.

I can't wait to see the movie.

- Hello?
- It's me.

You don't like anyone coming over at night,

so I sent it up with my secretary.

- What?
- The contract.

Let's talk.

Why are you acting like this?

You were going to sign the contract
eventually, so let's do it now.

- You need something to tie me down with?
- That's right.

Why do you need this all of a sudden?

You haven't been interested in films
for the past year.

I was really worried that
you would end up quitting.

Now you say you're going to be in a film
that is based on Kim Chul Soo's book.

I haven't seen him since that time.

- And you're never going to?
- Are you telling me to promise you?

Why?

Can't you?

I won't see him.

There was a reason why we broke up.

I was the one who chose to break up.

We haven't talked to each other since.
I haven't even tried.

We went through so much to break up.

And...

he even lied.

What?

Nothing. It's nothing.

I'll sign it.

Did something happen today?

- Nothing happened.
- The contract...

You can think it over.

I think I was just a bit upset.

Let's talk again tomorrow.

I can't do it tomorrow. I'm going
to a get-together for team-building.

- I'll stop by, too.
- Okay.

Mr. Kim, sit right here.

Thanks for coming.

Aren't we going to work on the script?

It's not only for work.
This is also a get-together.

A get-together?

That was the only way
I could get you to come.

Hello, Lee Ma Ri.

Everyone! Ma Ri has brought
these sandwiches for us!

Right here, Ma Ri.

Kim Chul Soo is here, too.

What's this? You people know each other.

Director Kim...

There were scandals surrounding you two,
but ultimately you are good friends.

Let's set the record straight,
so people don't feel uncomfortable.

You're friends, aren't you?

- I saw the press conference.
- I saw it, too.

The scandals with the ghostwriter...
are all untrue.

Ma Ri!

- Where's Ma Ri?
- She left with the crew.

Oppa, we're going, too.

Me, too.

Hi.

- Close the door, Son Young.
- Okay, Unnie.

Close the door.

Ma Ri.

- Yes.
- Have you met my wife?

- What?
- The assistant director is like a director's wife.

Hello.

So, who's Kim Chul Soo's wife?

Oh, Jung Yoon Hee?

She's the editor at the publishing firm who
talked Kim Chul Soo into making this film.

You said you got married?

How childish!

I heard that you say you're single
in every interview.

You didn't know at first.

I stopped reading the news after we broke up.

Why does it matter
whether I'm married or not?

I thought it might be better for you
to think that I�m married.

How is that better?

People are watching.

This is why I didn't want you to do it.

You called me and told me to do it.

I want to ask you something about the script.

You're here.

Noona!

It must have been a long ride.

It's the novelist!

How have you been?

- What happened?
- He's the original writer.

What's the original writer doing here?

Are you getting back with him?

No.

See you later.

Your keys.

Eun Sil.

Let's go.

What about me?

Room 910?

Where's your room? Room 911?

Don't ask. I'll hurt you if you come.

- What?
- I have a prior engagement.

Let's go. Follow me.

A prior engagement?

Jang Soo. Let me go wipe my sweat.

Kim Chul Soo.

- Let's talk.
- What's there to talk about?

- I have something to say.
- I don't really want to hear it.

We'll just end up fighting.
We both know that well from experience.

Back then, I had no other choice.

- I know.
- You know what?

Aren't you talking about the press conference?

There really was no other way.

There wasn't.

I know.

I just assumed that you did it for me.

That was it, wasn't it?

Hello? Eun Young.

I was wondering how the scriptwriting is going.

It's a get-together?

What about Lee Ma Ri?

She came, too...

Yes, I didn't know she was coming.

I'm not really going to run into her.
Also, I'll be leaving tomorrow.

I see. Well, I have to go now.

- See you when you get back.
- Okay, I'll call you.

Eun Young.

You're really not going on that blind date?

Well...

I knew you were going to be like this.
I was surprised when you said yes.

I'll do it.

I'll go on that blind date.

- Have a seat.
- Noona!

Mr. Kim, come!

- I'm fine.
- Just come.

Come! I've something to ask you
about the storyline.

Excuse me.

You said you had something to ask.

Why aren't you saying anything?

I can't really figure out this female character.

She said she loved him,
but she didn't show it at all.

I feel that the writer doesn't
understand female psychology.

I'm talking about the original book.

It's better in the script, though.

What do you think?

She really didn't love him.

The whole theme is about the two
mistaking their feelings for love

as they struggled against a problem together.

How could that be a misunderstanding?

How could you deny that it was true love?

Who's the one who denied it first?

Is this real?

I'm sorry. I need to be excused.

Mr. Kim...

Excuse me, too.

What is this?

What are you doing?

That's why I suggested
talking it out with you.

What's there to talk about?

It wasn't love?

That's what you concluded?

- Yes.
- Why?

If it was the me now,

something like that wouldn't have happened.

If I had been the way I am now,

something as crazy and as ridiculous...

would never have happened.

We were both going through tough times.

That's why...

we misunderstood our feelings.

It was a misunderstanding?

So if it had been now,

you never would have loved me?

If it had been now...
