Hold on!

EPISODE 11 NOT SPRING, LOVE, OR CHERRY BLOSSOMS

The next shoot's by the lake!

Please gather around!

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello.

Your manager's not around as much.

Has she gone somewhere?

She's got much to do.

Is it because she's an ex-trainee? She's busier than the artists.

Look here.

Your clothes are a bit dark for spring. Don't you have brighter ones?

I only wear what they give me.

-Look here. -Wait...

-Just a sec. -It's blurry.

Could we take one more shot? It's for SOUL's official account.

All right.

Now smile. One, two...

Those clothes...

It's not today.

It's not today, right?

Sorry?

I knew I wasn't ready for a movie.

That's not what I meant.

I assure you, you have to do this audition.

I had a vision, you know.

I'm doing this because you insisted but...

This director doesn't like me.

Why in the world would anyone not like you?

Why do you think that?

The same director turned me down a few times before.

Said I'm nothing without the face.

But I think it will be different, this time.

I have a strong feeling. This role is perfect for you.

A fraud with five previous convictions?

I mean...

You know the ones who rip people off using good looks?

It could be that type of a fraud.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about. Who wouldn't fall for that?

And if he asks for your hobby,

you have to say piano.

Since mixing everything is the current trend,

even the crooks need to be a bit melancholy.

Okay. I trust your hunches.

You said before that Korea will be unified soon.

I was shocked to hear about the summit meeting.

Right? I do have some good hunches.

Are you not going to Sooyong's filming set

because of a bad hunch?

What?

We don't have much time. Shall we go over the lines?

"A woman like you is not meant for a crook like me."

"But I can't stop my feelings.

They say we can't hide coughs and love."

Taehyung smiles, whispers "love," and moves his lips.

"But why me?

No, why would you..."

"I'm not sure if you're going to love me..."

Wait, that's not it.

I don't understand.

What?

Why is Eunsung suddenly trying to stay away from this show?

I think it's because of the last shoot.

It was harsh.

And you just watched her? You're supposed to step in

and do something for your fellow manager.

I'm extremely competent when it comes to quizzes,

but I haven't danced since I gained weight...

-Forget it. -I'm sorry.

I'm going to the office. Keep watching.

Okay. When are you returning?

When I'm done with stuff.

If anything happens...

No, call me before anything happens.

Yes, sir.

See you.

Are you Sooyong's roadie?

Hello.

Where is Mr. Kim?

Yes, he had things to do back at the office...

Can I help you?

It's nothing serious.

What's your name?

My name's Hur Eonjoong.

-Hur Eonjoong... -Yes, that's me.

-Can we talk over there? -Okay.

-Come around. -Okay.

I'll just jump over. Get my coffee...

How is it?

It's good! Where did you get this stuff?

I didn't get it! It's completely written by me.

How could you say that?

As I said, it's great. But a little bit boring.

Like noodles without MSG.

That's the point. Just like an organic diet.

Don't you think it suits us?

If we write spectacular lyrics and sing it, then snap!

Number one on the chart, snap! Number one in the searches, snap!

We snap our way up!

Are you a snapper or something? Stop snapping everything.

And if you love snapping so much,

why couldn't you snap your way to the flag during the game?

Well, that's because I couldn't run properly, that time.

I saw you at the "Idol Star Athletics Championship."

It's so obvious you didn't run so Hailey could win.

Just stop lying to me.

Fine, I lied. So what?

You're too young to know,

but love needs fixing, too.

Focus on fixing your reputation.

And you can't fix things for free if the warranty is over.

Eunbin!

Where are you going?

I see artists in the top searches for other agencies,

but a manager for us?

Sooyong put her up to it, so Eunsung had no choice but to dance.

She must've found it tough and changed her schedule today.

-Is that so? -Hello.

Sooyong is an up-and-coming artist,

so it's not bad to have a helper building his reputation up...

You want Eunsung back at the set?

No.

Yunwoo's audition is as important as Sooyong's show.

What's this on Song Haena's Instagram?

A "surprise?"

Did you hear anything from Mr. Bang?

No, I haven't heard anything from the set, so it must be about something else.

Okay.

By the way, Eunsung is a bad dancer.

Oh, yes. Back in her trainee days, she had to learn routines for two years...

What is that?

How can a manager have more screen time than me?

The song she got from you before.

Maybe she was trying to sing it herself?

That's not all.

She's so desperate to help Sooyong succeed.

Is she?

I think Sooyong is the one desperate to make his manager succeed.

Well, come to think of it, when you made your debut,

we went on a show together.

I ran on paddy field ridges just to get some screen time for this guy.

Those were the days.

Yes, you're right.

The days when you pushed me and broke my wrist.

Good times, eh?

Food's good.

How are the songs for SOUL?

Should I have a listen?

No, you don't have to.

I'll let you know when it's ready.

Heard through the grapevine

that the Mongolian's got the better of you.

Says who?

That's not important. Try harder, Kevin.

If the copycats get known for their song, it looks bad for us.

Just don't let them become a star.

You know?

I know well.

"TRAPS" AUDITION

Not bad but...

I'm too good-looking for a fraud, right?

He's got jokes.

Do idols learn jokes now?

You're good-looking, you sing well.

What's more, you're funny.

But since this character was convicted five times,

we had a more rough image in mind.

Shall we move on, then?

He came all the way, let's at least see his talents.

Talent? This isn't a talent show.

All right.

Okay, final question.

This might be a cliche, but do you have a hobby?

Just like Eunsung predicted.

Yes,

I play the piano.

Could you play for us?

Don't you think it looks better than we expected?

Not just better. I love it.

What if we change that detail?

The character could be a pianist, not an ex-boxer.

His unreal looks had me worried,

but if the character uses his looks to trick people, it would work.

No, it'd be amazing.

My thoughts, exactly.

Looking at him makes me want to do something for him.

Let's just

go with Yunwoo.

Fine by me.

By the way, I haven't seen Eunsung lately.

Mr. Bang wants her to sing next time,

so he's preparing it.

If Eunsung has some sense, she'd know that she's just a buffoon.

And have you read the comments?

Eunsung had more screen time than Haena,

and the fans are angry about it.

Some of them criticized the writers.

What?

Song Haena's fans scare me.

But Sooyong must have some fans now. Why don't they stand up for Eunsung?

You really expect them to support his girl manager?

Besides, Sooyong's just a sand castle in the making,

while Haena is a finely-built palace. Can't compare them.

Follow me if you're done.

Okay.

Sooyong, I didn't know you were here.

I was called here for an interview.

You can wait here.

Yes, stay here for a minute.

Sooyong's great, but the manager...

Yes, she's lame.

She's desperate for the camera.

-She was a trainee? I didn't know. -She makes the show awkward.

Compared to "Promise 100" comments, these are sweet, you people!

-Hello. -Eunsung.

What are you doing?

Looking at your photo on the social network.

I'm so sorry about that. I don't even know what to say.

I apologize. This is not what I thought would happen.

If you say so, please be careful from now on,

so I don't have to worry about it. Goodbye, then.

He's sorry?

He acted like he's all innocent, but he's such a player!

We're done today!

Let's wrap it up, people. Thanks.

Thank you.

-Thanks, guys. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, Haena. I'll take off now.

Sooyong!

Do you not like being around me?

Sorry?

Actually, I had something on my mind...

Stop lying.

You were looking into your phone all the while.

That was...

I don't know about you, but I don't like people doing that on set.

I want our song to be the best,

but you don't seem to agree.

I want it to be the best, too.

Then, give me your phone.

Why, don't want to?

Let's stay here a bit more and talk about our song.

Okay.

Let's get changed and meet up after.

Okay.

Can we expect full effort when the casting is confirmed?

Yes!

I'll look forward to it.

Okay, thanks.

I think it's amazing.

How could they ask the same questions you told me?

Yes, I wonder. It's amazing.

I wasn't expecting to get picked.

This director is well known for only picking good actors.

You've done 60 episodes of soap opera. That wasn't all for nothing.

I knew you could do it.

It's all thanks to you.

No, I didn't do anything. That was all you.

Do you get off work right away?

Would you like to have dinner?

Should we? All right.

Then I'll swipe the corporate card like I never did before!

What do you want to eat? Lobster?

You know we have the 7,000 won limit.

That's why we need to find a loophole.

Four members means 28,000 won.

If I am counted, it becomes 35,000 won.

And still not enough for a lobster.

It's not?

Then let's make it simple. Chicken? And beer?

A chicken per person, yes?

Yes!

You've done great today. I'll see you next week!

You look much more comfortable and better in those.

The others are...

They left to have dinner.

I'll be back! Stay here!

Aren't you going with them?

I'm on a diet all the time.

People are leaving suspiciously early today.

Oh, right. I loved the new sample.

You heard the one I sent you yesterday?

I even practiced it. Would you like to have a go with me?

Okay.

Sooyong's on the news again.

Did you see?

You mean Song Haena's account? It's been up for a while.

No, it came up just now.

Just now?

HAENA POSTED A SELFIE FROM THE DO-RE-MI-FA-SOLO-SI-DO SET

The clothes from the vision...

They're the same!

What is?

Eunsung?

Yunwoo, I'm really sorry, but something's about to happen.

Just get in.

When I'm on the streets

Alone in my room

Even in my dreams

You are in my sight

Whatever I do

Whoever I'm with

I get the feeling

That I'm alone with you

-How about you? -How about you?

How do you feel about me? Yeah

How about you?

How do you feel about me? Yeah

What happened? These lyrics are great.

I'll think about the choreography.

How was it?

This was our first duet, but wasn't it good?

It was.

Partnering up with you was a good thing.

A blessing for me.

Do you really think so?

Yes.

I learned a lot from someone who is very experienced.

You mean the tuna story?

When I told you to think about money when working?

You told me to smile.

We've done our job. Should we head off?

Hur will be waiting.

Sooyong?

Is this song a job?

Is it simply a job for you?

What?

What we are doing right now, is this just work?

There is no staff in sight.

Could those two be alone?

No!

Eunsung?

I'm sorry.

Sooyong, you shouldn't be doing this.

This is not--

If we go out together, I think we'll be fine.

No one will suspect you of anything.

Pretend we had a meeting. Okay?

I'll go out first, smiling.

Sooyong, don't go. We have something to do.

Something to do?

This is not what it seems.

I was practicing our song and--

That's right.

It was a practice at first.

Okay!

I don't need to hear this anymore.

I know you two met every week,

had many talks...

And, of course, you are two young attractive people.

But, please...

Could you put this on hold for a sec?

I'm saying this for your sake...

No, for my sake.

The two of you dating right now means trouble for me.

So...

I'm a manager, right?

And a manager is supposed to protect the artist--

What are you doing, Eunsung?

-Mr. Bang! -Ms. Gong?

This is huge!

A manager who doesn't know about the hidden camera

comes to save the day!

Yes!

-This is good! -It's gonna be awesome.

What's this?

It was a hidden camera!

I'm sorry.

Are you out of your mind?

This is the sort of thing you need to report to me.

I thought it was

meant to be a secret for everyone.

What did I tell you?

I told you to call me before anything happens, didn't I?

You did.

Did you sleep?

I was just resting after dinner...

So you slept and didn't report.

I'm sorry.

And why did you have to burst in like that?

Come with me.

Yunwoo.

I'm sorry you had to follow me here.

Right, lobster!

Was it chicken and beer?

Should we go and have dinner now?

I wanted to ask you something.

Yes.

Eunsung,

do you see the future?

Sooyong.

I told you to report everything.

Eunsung, I wasn't intending to kiss Haena yesterday.

Why are you telling me that?

You said if I love Haena, that means trouble for you.

I think you need to know where to draw the line.

Did you ask her out?

Maybe I should sing a duet with her.

I haven't heard this song before.

I made it.

Eunsung helped me.

You'll put her in a bad position.

The one who's putting her in difficult situations

is you, Sooyong.
