Original subtitles

All locations, characters, organizations, and incidents

depicted in this drama are entirely fictitious.

Aren't you coming?

I'm really good at finding my place.

Especially since I've been here countless times.

You came to watch a movie with me, didn't you?

Did they just ignore what I said?

Calm down, Mr. Assemblyman. There are many people here.

You came to watch a movie with me, didn't you?

What made you give money to that interpreter?

It looks like you've been shooting a soap opera behind my back.

I should look into a few things

before things really turn into a daytime soap.

Look into what?

Like how to splash her with water?

Let's go.

He's your father, and it's regarding your family,

so I don't want to say anything unnecessary.

But why do I always have to see you like this?

I don't really know the right way to pity someone.

But you should care for yourself before you care for others.

And what was that earlier? A natural encounter with Ms. Seo?

I thought you came here to watch a movie and drink with me.

If I came here to meet Dan-ah,

I wouldn't have kept talking to you.

You and your excuses.

I doubt you even know what natural encounter means.

Things just got worse.

EPISODE 8

My goodness.

What are you doing here?

Where's Ms. Seo?

She's probably at home.

That seat is taken.

He gave me his ticket.

Why is Ms. Seo at home?

Because she gave me her ticket.

I can't believe this. I worked so hard to look nice today.

Do you want some?

No, thank you.

But why won't you give me Ms. Seo's number?

She said it's okay.

Because I feel a bit uneasy.

What makes you feel uneasy? Me?

Me?

Can't we just...

The movie is starting.

I think I kind of understand why you think movie theaters feel safe.

Will you be quiet? The movie just started.

Sorry.

Your voice was kind of loud.

Seon-gyeom!

Hey, Mi-joo. Just a second.

Are you kidding me? You said it's right next to her.

But why did Mr. Jeong show up instead?

I guess she didn't come.

Is that why you cried?

No, the movie was touching.

I cry easily. I'm an emotional guy.

You know each other? When did you become so close?

I guess you two are also acquainted.

Did you get home safely? I woke up, and you weren't there.

I guess you did, seeing you're here.

Does that mean you spent the night at...

Why didn't you tell me?

It's been a while, so I thought you would have forgotten about him.

That's not for you to decide.

Gosh, I had no idea.

I let my imagination run wild.

I guess I'll get going then.

- It's not like we're going to drink. - Bye then.

It's sad not to drink after watching a movie.

Let's go drink. I told you I wanted to drink after the movie.

Right? It'd be a pity to just go home. Why don't we all go for a drink?

The three of us?

But weren't you two on a date?

Just leave if you know.

Did something urgent come up? You should go then.

You leave.

I can't leave.

- Then should I leave? - No. You can't leave either.

Okay, that's enough. Let's all go for some drinks.

Okay.

Rather than focusing on the main lead,

I focused more on the customer in that bar

who was searching for happiness in chance and a glass of alcohol.

"How is he feeling?

What is he drinking?

Why is he sitting in that corner looking all sad and gloomy?"

That was my approach.

Remember when Choi Tae-ri blows a whistle when the camera zooms in on the male lead?

I couldn't stop myself from crying.

I think I might cry again.

They showed the ending first and saved the climax for later.

I see.

But that scene... The sound of that whistle was so sad.

I totally agree. It was so sad.

Do you think we felt that way

because we're conditioned to think it is?

Or because it just is?

It's interesting how whistles set a different mood depending on the context.

It changes depending on the kind of situation you're in.

When I paint, I put on movies I've already watched.

Mostly black-and-white.

You must like classic movies.

They are simple, so they don't distract you that much.

Do you do that so you don't lose focus when working?

And you can also notice things that you've missed before.

Like how it feels different when you watch movies from your childhood?

- Yes, exactly. - Exactly.

- Right? - You're the best.

You seem to know very well.

By the way, I've seen this film.

We did too.

No, I mean, I watched it a long time ago. I watched it two times.

I also watched it several times already.

Oh, I see.

- My gosh. - Here you go again.

Where did you watch it?

At the film festival.

What? You were there?

Yes.

- I'll take a bottle of soju. - Sure.

Just a second.

- What are you doing? - Don't you know what this is?

- What? - Hey.

- It's that thing. - What?

It's that thing, right?

No, it's not.

Mi-joo, I recently attended a film class called "Three Acts and Five Seconds,"

and the movie was quite different from what I learned in class.

That class sounds so familiar.

Do you go to Myeongin University?

Was it taught by Professor Hwang?

Yes, he came to our school to teach that class.

I don't go to Myeongin University.

He still teaches that class? Gosh, I'm so sick and tired of it.

By the way,

why would I have a natural encounter with Dan-ah?

A natural encounter with Ms. Seo? Why?

Why are you so upset?

I would love to be in a natural encounter with Ms. Seo.

Seon-gyeom, you know her number, right?

Yes.

Tell me.

He can't tell you her number without her permission.

I got her permission.

If you don't believe me, call her and ask.

Why would he call her and ask?

Then what should I do?

Why are you asking me?

My gosh.

Wait. I can actually prove it.

Where should we go?

- "Where"? - Didn't you bring a car to go for a drive?

With a kid like you? In your dreams.

Why would you say that? That kind of hurts.

- What? - Can you drop me off on your way?

- Where do you think I'm going? - Where are you going?

Definitely not where you're going.

- Where do you think that is? - I don't care.

Mr. Jeong won't give me your number.

What if he never does?

Do everything you can.

Did you just tell me

to do everything I can?

Here. I've done it.

RECORDING

I told him he could have my number. Are you happy now?

Did you hear that?

You heard her voice, right?

You're being creepy. Why don't you ask her yourself?

She'll never tell me.

She hasn't memorized it.

She's never memorized her number before.

What a strange woman.

Can I also have your numbers too?

We're neighbors. Maybe not you.

That's more of a reason to tell me. We won't be able to run into each other.

We can text each other and meet up.

- You know I love you, right? - No.

Come on. Hurry. You guys need to save my number too.

I'll send you guys my number.

Here.

RAPUNZEL

What? Why is there no profile photo?

How can I tell it's her?

It's her number.

Why would I lie to you about her number?

What an interesting person.

What? You don't have one either?

Neither do you, Mi-joo.

Is this a trend?

I don't know if it's a trend.

I never had one from the start.

You too?

I don't want to be considered the same type.

It hasn't been that long since I deleted it.

This is for self PR. Why would you leave it empty?

On purpose. It used to be a vacation photo.

But people kept nitpicking.

Some people didn't seem to like that I travel abroad.

And I hate how I get weird texts after someone sees my face.

What's your profile picture?

Mine? Just a second.

This. It's what I'm working on.

What are you painting?

I'll know when I'm done.

I need to finish it first.

A CLOUDY SKY TURNS CLEAR AFTER A RAINFALL

I wanted to read it once more to understand it properly.

Who is this?

"Lee Yeong-hwa"?

This is my number. You can ghost me, but at least save it.

You should save it to know who you're ghosting.

He sounds familiarly arrogant. I think I know him.

LEE YEONG-HWA

Oh, that kid?

Do people really think a couple of photos can grab people's attention?

You're giving him attention by asking me that right now.

Do you sign artists at your agency now?

He's still in college.

Is he trying to show off how talented he is or what?

That kind of profile picture is pretty average.

He's a college student.

No one around me does this kind of stuff.

- Should I keep it for you? - Yes.

If they're going to exploit people's anxieties for money,

couldn't they make it fun?

How can it be

when it's targeting your anxiety?

Don't rich people have their own studies?

It's embarrassing to keep it in my study.

I don't want people to know that I get anxious.

See you.

YOU'VE DONE WELL, THAT'S ENOUGH

How do you feel?

What a straightforward question.

I'm not sure.

I hope you feel better soon.

How will you be getting to the film site?

By train.

What are you taking to the train station?

A cab.

My car is all fixed.

Congratulations.

- Did you cure your hangover? - No, I still have it.

Are you working?

Yes, I couldn't focus at home.

It's all in English. Are you good at English?

Of course. It's my major.

That doesn't always mean you're good at it.

I wouldn't know. I was always good.

The same goes for me.

If anyone overhears us, they'd think we're annoying.

Did you skip class because of your hangover?

I thought about doing that, but I just went since I paid tuition.

I'm free for three hours.

What a messed up schedule.

I'm not a freshman, but I still get nervous

when it's time to apply for classes. It's like a battlefield.

Graduating didn't make things any better. I'm still in debt.

- Your school loans? - Yes.

Would I have paid it off once I reach your age?

I'm still in debt.

If I cut back on work,

my bank account goes empty once I pay my mortgage,

and that's when I find work to make more money.

Gosh, that sounds so miserable.

ARE YOU A CELEBRITY? HOW DO YOU KNOW TAE-WOONG?

- My gosh. Mi-joo, can I ask you something? - Yes.

I'm good at everything else but English.

Look. If you look here...

I think she's threatening to kill me. What does it exactly mean?

"You are killing me. Who are you? Tell the truth. It's killing us."

She's asking how you know Tae-woong. She's so curious that it's killing her.

Why won't he unfollow me? Is he doing this on purpose?

The only Tae-woong I know is Seo Tae-woong.

Are you also an Alphabet?

What? I'm talking about Slam Dunk.

Gosh, this reminds me of the old days. I used to love Jeong Dae-man.

- What about you? - Me? I liked Kang Baek-ho.

I don't want my hair like that.

Make mine look natural.

And how do you think that makes me feel?

I know you have a schedule, but what about you Tae-woong?

Do you have a date with the person you're following?

People think you have a secret girlfriend.

Respect my privacy.

Tae-woong, you have a girlfriend?

I have tons of girlfriends.

My fans are my girlfriends.

Another selfie?

You're pretty much addicted.

How can I not get addicted?

Every time I upload a photo,

tens of thousands of people like it.

How are the preparations for Eun-bi's tournament coming along?

We sent her the outfit and portfolio, and she's still checking.

We'll receive a feedback soon.

Director Dong.

Eun-bi is finally going to play golf wearing our outfit

in front of the entire world.

Gosh, I'm so excited.

Did you have to cancel the deal with Seon-gyeom?

Was it your plan to discard him once Eun-bi joined the agency?

I know you're fond of him.

The contract was nearing termination

and I figured he won't renew it. That's why I did it first.

I'm not joking around.

I don't want an athlete who committed assault.

It's true that I'm fond of him,

but that never trumps what's important.

My agency matters more to me.

What's so great about an agency who discards their athletes?

You just let go of him so you could provide more for Eun-bi.

Wouldn't it be better for our image to help him get back on his feet?

I think Seon-gyeom will do great.

- You have a point. - Then why don't you—

I don't want a former athlete to be an agent.

He'll care for them better than anyone.

That's exactly why.

I feel like he'll only focus on the athletes and nothing else.

You know I'm in charge of personnel, right?

We're two years in and should have a manager for athletes.

But I like working with those who put my priorities above all else.

What would you have done if you were in his shoes?

What if Mr. Jeong were assaulting me behind your back?

I doubt he's the one who'd be doing the hitting.

Is that a compliment or what?

I'm home. I'll go get changed. I was at the gym.

Dan-ah, I heard you hit Myeong-min

in front of the employees.

You tattled again?

Dumb and childish.

I didn't say anything. It wasn't just us there.

Others have eyes and ears too, you know.

Couldn't you have done it discreetly?

- You hurt his pride. - Father!

Can I kill him if done discreetly?

Hey!

- Of course not. - He damaged what's mine first.

- Treat me as your older brother. - I do in public.

Is that brain of yours broken?

Have you forgotten I was born ten months prior?

It still sickens me to know that he forged your birth certificate—

- That's enough. - Be grateful

that I go along with the lie when we're in public.

Being dumb is no excuse to be an ingrate.

If only you each shared your good qualities.

We might have if we had the same mother.

Unlike me, they're all bastards.

You might not agree,

but you're all equally precious to me.

If you mean that, prove it with your actions.

I'd love to see that it's true.

Is your second wife setting the table for your first wife's memorial service?

This is making me sick.

Who are you to shit over my mom's generosity?

I'm not the one doing the shitting.

Dan-ah,

it's time you let go of your hatred against her.

Why would I hate her?

I'm not interested enough to have such feelings.

Seo Dan-ah, don't talk like that to the chairman—

Seo Myeong-min!

Do you know why I haven't exposed you?

It's for the good of the company and the CEO.

You two couldn't care less about the company image.

Only I've been working my ass off to keep it clean.

It's all my fault, I guess.

I should just die.

Please don't say things like that.

Stop playing the victim here.

And be done with trying to set me up with a suitor.

These days, being gay isn't a big deal.

Marriage will set you straight.

I won't bother responding to that since I don't even know where to begin.

I guess it all comes with being an educated woman.

I'll find an adequate suitor,

so clear your schedule for the wedding.

I'll keep it short.

You'll be in breathtaking outfits and vow your endless love.

Could it be any more romantic?

I said I didn't want to waste my time on marriage yet.

Isn't it enough that you married three times

and had your son married?

You see...

I learned something on Myeong-min's wedding day.

"I'm glad to have a daughter."

Being able to walk one down the aisle is crucial to a father.

So escorting you down the aisle with your hand in mine...

is all I need.

I can't stay here anymore.

Dan-ah, where are you going?

Dan-ah!

My youngest is here.

How much of it did you hear?

Myeong-min, are you seriously talking to me?

What have I said about speaking casually to me?

- You. - Yes?

You're in Korea now.

Where are your manners?

I will. I will, but...

Just a second though. Father, let me be excused.

Dan-ah. Where are you off to?

Dan-ah!

Dan-ah.

Your mother's memorial service is today,

so I bought some rice cakes.

That must be how it's done in America. Why not just crawl back there?

I will if that's what you want.

What about your agency and fans then? Stop being such an idiot.

Why do you do this when I make it clear that I don't like you?

Because you at least hate me.

It's better than being treated as if I'm invisible.

It also takes effort

to hate someone.

You've got to be kidding me.

What did I ever do that was so wrong?

That we have the same dad?

That we don't have the same mom?

Or is it because I'm just me?

Why ask when you clearly know the answer?

It's not like

I can choose my parents.

Exactly.

Why did you have to be born into this family?

Dan-ah.

Dan-ah!

I LOVE YOU TAE-WOONG

What's the point of living?

Damn it.

Your painting shines even in the darkness.

Make yourself at home

and feel free to use anything in the house.

Take this with you. I made enough for you both.

Please don't skip breakfast.

Wow. Prepped meals? This will last us two days.

I made sure they'd be easy to eat even in the car.

We'll get going then.

Come on, we'll be late.

Is she still pretending to be pissed off?

I'd be glad if she was only pretending.

We'll enjoy this. Thank you.

Enjoy it together.

Sure.

Sorry about that. Eun-bi's meeting was delayed...

You don't have to stop on my accord.

Regarding what?

My sister.

You can talk about her in front of me.

Also, my fingerprint doesn't seem to be registered

for the front gate.

It wasn't me. Dan-ah delisted you.

Don't tell me that's why you're here.

Of course not.

Here you go.

I wanted to thank you for giving me Coach Bang's number.

I was able to meet her.

From what I hear, she's been spotted with a certain team.

Was that your doing?

She never said anything to me, but I guess that's what she's up to.

And you made her get back out there.

It wasn't my doing.

This was her choice.

- What a waste. - Sorry?

There's a natural gift you have, but I bet you don't know what it is.

You motivate people.

I honestly don't.

It's never your intention, but it works.

That's why it's a natural gift.

Director Dong, the report you handed in...

Seon-gyeom. Fate must have brought us together.

Will you marry me?

I know you're my boss—

I'm sick and tired of these blind dates.

You liked me once, right?

Let's get married. I'll be good.

I've never liked you, so why do you keep saying that?

- Didn't you like me? - No.

Why haven't you told me earlier?

You mislead me, so make up for it with marriage.

How's that logical?

I'm dead serious, so think about it.

Here. How about we reduce the front and elongate the back?

Sometimes, I can't tell if you're joking or not.

Think of how I must feel.

I said it's not a joke.

- The smell of the sea. - Gosh.

How peaceful and calm.

What?

It's Hui-jin.

Hey.

Camera rolling.

Action!

All right. Cut!

- All right. Cut! - Fantastic. Great, that was perfect.

All right. Scene 42, take three.

Let me tell you who's who.

That's James, the leading actor.

I hear he's part Korean.

Next to him is the director of photography.

He seems somewhat racist,

but he's still a gentleman.

Weird.

Up there is the movie director.

He's a Korean-American.

He speaks Korean a little, so it'll make your job easier.

And the lady with red lipstick sipping her coffee

is the Korean producer Yeom Gang-sun.

She hates her Korean name,

so make sure you call her Julie.

- She still comes to movie sets? - Do you know her?

She's infamous for being a know-it-all.

She butts in all the time while people translate

even though she's not that fluent.

I see. Doesn't she have her own translator?

Of course. Look right next to her.

She slacks off though.

A translator should correct people when there's any miscommunication,

but not her.

We wasted a lot of our time because Ms. Yeom didn't have the facts right.

Oh, dear.

We'll move after this scene,

so you can say hello then and get working.

We'll be filming in five. Please get ready.

- Five minutes to shoot. Be ready, please. - All right.

Five minutes.

What do track and field athletes do after they retire?

After retirement,

here I am doing laundry.

Is there anything you want to do?

Ms. Oh, can you get the light?

Sure thing.

What the hell?

The door won't budge.

Come in.

I've slept in all kinds of places, but this is on a whole new level.

It's very humbling.

I saw a supermarket on my way here.

Should I buy us new covers?

I'm sure it's closed by now.

Anyway, I brought a blanket from home, so let's sleep under that.

Also, we'll sleep on these towels.

They should be clean at least.

Shouldn't we leave a few to shower tomorrow?

I brought two from home, so we'll use those.

We were given the corner suite though. It's tiny but there's even a window.

It has all the essentials.

No wonder Hui-jin's been constipated for three weeks.

Why does the toilet look so noir-esque?

I wonder if he's doing all right.

OCTOBER 17, SATURDAY

What the...

- Unbelievable. - What is it?

It's nothing. Go to sleep.

WHEN HUNGRY, BANG

Could you recommend a movie that'll put me...

MYEONGBINJANG INN

May! Why are you sleeping with your eyes open?

- Hello? - Hi, son. Where are you?

- On the road. - You must be driving.

What do you say to some coffee? Your sister's buying.

Where should I meet you?

IT'S KI EUN-BI'S TREAT!

YOOK JI-WOO IS SO LUCKY TO HAVE KI EUN-BI AS A DAUGHTER

Yook Ji-woo is lucky to also have a son who comes when she asks!

Sorry about that.

I heard you were the first Korean actress to skin someone.

Right, it was about 30 years ago.

I was young and fresh at the time.

- Is that also the case today? - No, I sliced up a person instead.

It required some elbow grease because I had to be slicing constantly.

- Are you playing another killer? - No, a vegan murderer.

Can I have two coffees, one with an extra shot?

- Sure thing. - Ms. Yook. Who is this?

He's my son. Isn't he pretty?

You could be an actor too. How about a cameo appearance?

Why not?

What do you say? We can slice together.

No.

Your sister was generous enough to send a coffee truck to the set.

Shouldn't you be just as generous?

Are you broke now that you're unemployed?

Should I give you some money?

Don't most mothers scold their children for being unemployed?

Do you miss my nagging now that you're older?

You never criticized my life,

so how could I criticize or meddle in yours?

I told you to be a good boy

while I was gone for work.

I told you not to bother Eun-bi since she was busy for a tournament.

I told you to win a medal

to help your dad get elected.

You did everything we asked you to without complaining.

It was all for your family.

You may be mild-tempered,

but I know you made an effort too.

I thought it was easy to raise kids.

I thought they matured with time.

But it turns out, you raised yourself.

Then you took initiative and told us you wanted to do something.

I was exhilarated.

Every time you want to do something, I should just support you.

That's all I can do.

Because every time I asked you to do something,

you did just that.

I know I look a bit gruesome to be saying this.

You're still just as beautiful.

I've always been beautiful.

Next time, I'll bring a gift.

- With my fan? - Your fan?

Oh, her?

Treat her well. After all, she's my fan.

I don't know how you two met,

but if she's close enough to hold your hand, you treat her well.

Why...

did you marry Father?

Because I loved him.

Are you two still on good terms?

No.

That's because

we still love each other.

Are you sure you don't want a part?

Who do you take after to be so stubborn?

In that case, I understand.

Yes, I do.

My mom told me to treat her fan well.

Gosh.

What a cutie.

Thank you, Ji-woo.

Treat me well, then.

- Dinner time, everyone. - James. Do you like bibimbap or...

Do you know mulhoe?

Mul... I don't but all the food has been delicious.

Oh, I know. We should try it.

- I want to get some hamburgers, man. - Yes, I want...

I've always wondered what people did in the countryside after sundown.

They drink.

Why did you skip your meal and keep an eye on that?

Because no one else did.

Keep that up, and they'll put you in charge.

Someone was bound to do it anyway.

How's budgeting going?

We just keep talking about it.

How's the interpretation going?

I agreed to do it, but they're not letting me.

They won't give me any time to translate.

That's why our youngest staff couldn't take it anymore and left.

I see. And you hid that fact from me.

I can totally relate to them right now.

I love you. Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

At first, I had no time to even think about this.

But now, I sometimes wonder what I'm doing here.

They talk so much.

I'm on edge because I'd be wasting their time if I made a mistake.

Since time and budget are linked, I get nervous.

I feel like I need to work at all times.

But for now, it's still fun. It's manageable.

It was worse back then.

Back then, I didn't get paid for working overtime.

I thought that was normal.

It's been six or seven years already. I was ignorant.

They were the ignorant ones.

- Screw working for free. - That's right.

You're drinking here again.

We're closing, so get going.

I want to go to bed.

This is our first time here, sir.

I know you're saying that to me, sir.

This is a 24-hour convenience store, sir.

Hold on. Where did I keep the salt?

- What? Salt? - You must have come here every day.

Have you eaten yet?

Yes, I'm eating right now.

I ate too.

They served doenjang soup with spinach and bulgogi. It was tasty.

You?

I'm having something tasty too.

By the way, why have you called?

You make it feel so awkward.

I know it's awkward for you, but it's worse for me.

I feel the most awkward.

Two people I'm used to seeing daily are no longer here.

Have you met Seon-gyeom again?

No, not yet.

I'm not quite ready yet.

Worry about that once you come back here.

He'll just keep waiting unless you ask to see him first.

He'll always be so dense.

Just do it.

You're much younger.

Being reckless is a privilege at your age.

- It's okay to do that. - Okay, I will.

Thank you for your concern.

Okay. Bye.

- Mr. Kim Woo-shik? - Coming.

Terrific. Now, after you flow him down,

you're going to move to your left, and sees an enemy on the right.

Yes, make him fall down. Grab a hammer, and pound it.

Okay, this is the end of first sequence. What do you think?

I mean, I think that's great but you got to remember for the angle of the camera,

We need to show the hammer against the wall.

But in this case, that means I need to have some staff hiding somewhere

that are going to throw some blood onto the wall.

Okay, sounds good. We'll do that. All right, moving on. Second sequence.

James returns with the hammer,

sees three enemies, throws it, hits the enemy in the middle.

He's going to run. Run to your right,

and jump off the wall.

Garrison, I really feel this should be a long take.

- Can you make that work? - Yeah, I mean the only problem is

that I'm going to have a B camera on the other side of the wall when he jumps over.

And you got to remember this, there's still two other attackers

that are going to come over to attack him.

So, I just think it's impossible that we can do this in a single take.

All right, sounds good. You know what,

we can actually do a separate take on that. Okay?

- All right. - All right, moving on. Let's go.

That'll be great.

Scene 35 will be a long take.

James will make a stuntman trip,

grab the hammer, and attack him.

That's when the staff can squirt the blood.

Then he'll grab the hammer and go around the house,

and three enemies will be waiting.

He'll then throw the hammer, hit the enemy in the center,

run to his right, and climb over the wall.

Okay, wait a minute. Why is the blood on the floor and not on the wall?

That's exactly what I was talking about with

the angle of the camera that we needed on the wall as well.

- What's going on? - Mi-joo!

Did you not tell Special Effects that I wanted blood on the wall?

I specifically told you that I want blood on the wall and the ground.

Look at this.

Did you see blood on the wall? No.

I'm sorry. I think I made a mistake.

All right, Garrison. You know what,

Let's actually do a close-up on the transition separately, and

we're going to add it on the master.

- That's going to work better. Okay? - All right.

We'll film this scene again.

I know this is hard to interpret.

Thank you. I'm sorry.

- Could I ask you a small favor? - What?

Would you mind giving me a little more time to translate?

If I have a few more seconds in between,

I think I can do a better job relaying your message.

Okay, I'm sorry.

You know, this is my first time working with a translator.

I haven't thought about that. But I'll give you more time in the future.

Thank you.

I won't make the same mistake again.

I hope not.

- What is this? - A soccer ball.

Did you save my number?

I did. I should know who it is that I'm ghosting.

Gosh, you're so obnoxious.

- Didn't I tell you to stop doing that? - Why should I?

- What? - I smile because I'm happy.

Who are you to stop me?

Why didn't you come to the premier?

And why should you and Seon-gyeom have a natural encounter?

Mind your own business. Why are you here?

To show you my draft, but I don't want to anymore.

Picky, aren't you?

Show me. Hurry and show me.

I told you it's not that important.

- That's not for you to decide. - What about you?

- I'm the one who decides. - I'm the artist.

If you keep acting this way, kid,

you'll seriously pique my curiosity.

And I've never learned how to be patient. What do you think I'll do?

You'll learn to be patient.

I will see that draft even if it means I have to lock you up and torture you.

So you'll make time for me?

I just can't get through to you, kid.

I wish you'd stop calling me that.

Then what would I call you, kid?

"Yeong-hwa".

That's so cringy.

If that's difficult, you can also call me a bastard.

I hope you can cooperate with me on that.

- I'll get going first. - Sure.

Where are you going?

- What's it to you? - Are you running there?

What? What is it? Hold on.

So much for a cooperation.

Once you grow up, you can try and get back at me.

Cut!

All right, that's our martini shot, folks.

Let's pack it down.

Good work, everyone.

- I'll give the teams their schedules. - Good work.

- Good work. - Good work.

What's going on?

Do I have a cold?

I shouldn't get sick.

James had asked for a driver who couldn't speak English,

so who hired this one?

You did.

Find a replacement at all costs.

Are you discriminating against him since he's gay?

You even let a staff run away!

Stop slacking off.

My gosh.

Yeom Gang-sun, that bitch.

Is this about finding James' boyfriend's driver?

Yes.

James had asked for a driver who couldn't speak English.

She mistook what he said and found someone who could.

Then why is she taking it out on you?

Exactly.

We can talk shit later.

One thing for sure is that his boyfriend is flying in in two days.

Isn't Chan-hui free? His shoot finished recently.

He'll be having a baby soon, so he can't.

He is?

- No, his wife. - Right.

Where can we find a driver right now?

You're right.

Do we need someone who doesn't speak English, can drive,

and is free at the moment?

And be presentable. He requested that specifically.

He's perfect.

I know you're doing well, so I'll just cut to the chase.

Can you drive here tomorrow?

We should make up.

Drive safe.

I'll text you the address.

Okay.

Bye.

How selfish am I?

I'll be punished for this.

Why isn't she using the blanket?

Was it hot?

Hello? I'm almost there. I'm nearby.

The emergency center...

Damn it. I don't think I saw any large hospitals nearby.

It feels like I'm dying.

May, I'm...

headed to a nearby hospital.

If anything happens, please fill in for me.

You have a fever.

You've just overworked yourself, so don't worry too much.

- Okay. - Do you do strenuous work?

I heard they're filming a movie around here.

Did you work outdoors all day?

We are filming a movie but...

We need to give you an IV drip and lower your body temperature.

Don't overwork yourself for the time being.

Okay.

Miss, are you okay?

What are you sick with?

- Pardon? - Your face is burning red.

Do you have a fever?

I...

I'm sorry, but my head is pounding too much.

Here, have a tangerine.

You need to eat to get better.

Does she not like tangerines?

I guess so.

You know, is Jang-seob getting married?

Why did I have to get sick?

He has no girlfriend.

Why do you keep drawing the curtain?

It's me, Ms. Oh.

Are you okay?

How did you know I'd be here?

May told me to take care of matters at the hospital.

Did you even know I was sick?

Are you crying? Are you in a lot of pain?

Seeing you here gives me comfort.

I'm in so much pain.

What would you like me to do?

- They keep talking to me. - Okay.

They keep drawing the curtain when I need to sleep.

Those women?

One minute.

Where are you from?

I'm from Seoul.

Are you that sick lady's husband?

- No. - No?

How are you so handsome?

- You have great skin as well. - Thank you.

By the way, she may hear us,

so let's speak a bit quietly.

- Okay. - Got it.

Thank you.

Goodness.

Mom.

You must've had a lot of work. You look exhausted.

I'm better now.

Did I snore?

You looked for your mom.

I was? Really?

It's not even funny.

- What do you mean? - Looking for my mom.

Why would that be funny?

I had meningitis when I was young,

and the doctor put me in a shared room.

They were all kids, and they were crying in pain.

They all looked for their moms,

and their moms would hold their hands.

I thought everyone just cursed when they were sick.

I learned to do that from them so I could blend in.

Kids point out the smallest differences.

My parents had passed away when I was little,

so I had no time to learn those things.

You know what it's like.

You feel safe only when you're a part of a group as a kid.

And, as an adult, you live in fear of being ostracized.

I know that's not the case for you.

What are you afraid of? Bugs?

I wasn't afraid of anything, but now, I'm about to be.

There are a lot of bugs here at night.

Goodness.

Is this mold?

Your room is next door. There are no windows there.

You'll definitely catch something if you stay here.

Then the bathroom is going to freak you out.

Let me get changed first.

Then we can introduce you to the staff next door.

Wait. The doctor said you should keep that on.

- You shouldn't— - I'm okay.

I don't want them to worry.

Let me get changed in a jiffy. Hold on.

Okay.

There's a cockroach. Oh, dear.

Are you feeling any better?

Today was your day off.

Hello. You took care of her well.

He's the driver. He came today.

These are the producers.

Hello, my name is Ki Seon-gyeom.

Hello.

I'm Jeong Hui-jin. We're a bit busy right now.

Mi-joo, are you going to join us?

Yes, I should.

Could you wait a minute? Make yourself at home.

Seon-gyeom.

The staff who will arrange your vehicle and accommodation are all here.

It may be boring, but could you wait for a minute?

You can sit there.

Do you think we could move here?

We're pretty much set for tomorrow.

The problem is the day after.

I'm certain we can't film everything in 12 hours.

If we need to film extra, we'll have to eat too.

And there's the overtime pay.

The director said he had to film a certain scene then.

He said he must.

He said it's the most traditionally Korean scene. That American prick.

Let's set aside money for the food.

Total 300,000 won for food.

I'll order burgers.

All set for tomorrow.

We've planned for the day after too, so let's end here.

- Okay. - Okay.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

How's your constipation?

I haven't gone in three weeks.

Look at the state of this place. It's impossible to go.

Here you are.

Would you like some coffee?

You were drinking that.

Mi-joo showed you to your room, right?

Yes.

I was wondering if I could move elsewhere.

I see. It's a bit shabby here, isn't it?

We'd love to as well.

I was searching and found a decent hotel nearby

although it's not five stars.

Only the actors and major staff members are staying there.

The Association hasn't confirmed our budget yet

so we have to save up.

And the best way to cut down on costs is the staff's accommodation and meals.

Would it be okay if I were to help you move?

Help who?

All of you.

- What? - What?

Yes?

The clean blanket is mine,

not the motel's.

Oh, this? I'll take it with me.

It's so easy to tell

that this is hers.

Mom.

What?

Ki Seon-gyeom.

- Mom. - Ki Seon-gyeom.

Call out to someone who can be here for you from now on

whenever you're sick or struggling.

Ki Seon-gyeom.

Ki Seon...

Why is your name so hard to pronounce?

I called your name.

You need to hold my hand.

Subtitle translation by: Ja-won Lee

What if they kidnapped you and put you on a fishing boat?

I heard you were here.

But why am I so worried?

I'm a grown man. You don't need to worry.

What are you doing here?

I'm part-timing as a driver.

Just come back to being an athlete.

Why are you throwing away Seon-gyeom's photo?

I'm just making room for something else.

Fuck you too, you punk.

What?

- Fuck you! - Ms. Oh! Are you crazy?

He started it!

Just let me drink myself to death.

What?

Did you ever have someone find something that you hid in your painting?

- Am I cute? - Was Ms. Seo your Rapunzel?

- Then what does that make you? - Lee Yeong-hwa.

Should I just go back to Seoul today?

I've been doing that thing you asked me to.

You asked me to like you.
