"MOTHER-IN-LAW IS STRANGE"
THANK YOU, STAFF AND ACTORS

Thank you.

Director, you've done so much.
You, too.

Thank you, ma'am.

Yunwoo should've been here.

Yes, he should've!

Yunwoo's group is "relearing" a song
at 12:00.

They are "releasing" it, ma'am.

You know the song has to be played
for at least a minute to be counted, eh?

One more thing.

Hey, it's out.

What? Is it now?

Time for sming chong-gong!

You should play the song, too.

How well do you think they'll do?

TOP MANAGEMENT

EPISODE 15
AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST

A WEEK LATER

Thank you, guys.

Hello?
Oh, hi.

All four members?
Wednesday and Thursday are filled up.

The song's doing okay
for a SOUL song, isn't it?

After Icarus, Apple Mint...

SOUL is the next to get busy,

so they at least deserve to be here.

But Mr. Pyo,
I think it's not doing that great.

Their goal was number 50.

If it were Icarus or Apple Mint,
this might have been their funeral.

That's what I'm saying!

But SOUL at number 51?
That's good enough.

Yes, okay!

Eunsung's making them busy
so the song can do better.

That's not gonna help.

But she has to
if they wanna bring in an extra penny.

- At low-price, high-volume.
- Low-price, high-volume?

Yes, they will be like
a Gimbap Heaven of Starlight.

- What?
- That's not it.

An onigiri?

A CVS lunchbox?
Oh, God!

She scared the hell out of me.

What songs are right above ours?

REAL-TIME TOP 100

That Night.

Our Secret?
My Heart Pounded.

Sweet Kiss...

What are you doing?
Looking at someone?

- No.
- No?

- I thought you were dreaming.
- No... Got something?

Did you remember to check the chicken ad
that SOUL and Eunbin are doing?

No, you didn't.
Do something about your memory.

Irib, I have a meeting today.
Hur will take care of the ad.

Please don't be late!
So leave as soon as school's out.

Can't I just leave
after morning classes?

Your school days
will be over soon.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Also, Ms. Kang will be speaking
at your school soon,

so as a Starlight artist,
you gotta behave.

- Hang in there!
- Okay.

I'm joining the army.

I know this might feel very sudden,

but I'm doing this for the team,
so please understand.

Let's skip the teary farewells.

I'll come back as the man
who saved SOUL.

Take off the mask!

Take them off, right now.

Don't touch your face!

Take out your canteens!

Pour it on your face.

Your CBR training is now over.

Before we move on,
shout the name of the person you love. Go!

Love you, SOULMates!

The last person to come out
was trainee 63.

Trainee 63, Kim Teo!

You get a wish, as promised.

Ask for anything,
be it ice cream or choco pie.

Please play SOUL's I Like Your Dream
on the army radio, sir.

You went through the painful training
for your team?

Yes, sir!

All right.

The army radio.
For one week.

I Like Your Dream.
You've got it.

Thank you, sir!

And I saw the TWICE pictures
on our cabinets.

Please change them to ours, sir!

What did you just say?

He wants to change the TWICE pics!

Trainee 63 is crazy!

Please punish him!

Come on! Change them, please.

Trainee 63.

Kill him.

Trainee 63!

Trainee 63, Kim Teo!

Put your mask back on!

No, go back in without the mask!

Run!

Thank you.

You've done well.

Number 51...
It's still there.

Are you sure the list is being updated?

Why is it here when we do more music shows
and three to four schedules a day?

Even our new member cut his hair
to get a new look.

It's hot.

This is all Starlight's plot.
To send us away to the army for real.

Sooyong.
Are you listening?

Yes?

Why do you always daydream?

Didn't you see me join the army
for our sake?

You talk like
you've joined it for real.

I did go, though!

Take it easy, man!

All done now.

- Please get rid of the dark circles.
- Can you get rid of them?

That's the best we can do.

Maybe, we shouldn't have used my song
as the title.

What? I wasn't blaming the song.

How is it in Mongolia?

If a song becomes popular overseas,
it can pull our song up to the top.

The Mongolian population
is less than the number of LJ's followers.

No problem!
I have fans in Thailand.

You do?

You saw them during VV Live.

That's because you joked about "Teo"
and "Thailand" starting with a T.

And they typed in "TT"
as a symbol of regret.

Anyway, pull yourself together,
and let's do this ad!

Look. Even the name of the chicken
suits us.

"Phoenix Chicken."

Phoenixes are known to be...

invincible.

Yes.

Doesn't look invincible.

Hey, look.

"As the chicken dies,
the rich flavor will raise."

I Like Your Dream!
May it rise from the ashes!

For SOUL!

For SOUL!

At least it's nice and fat.

How dare you touch the props!

Ms. Jo...

SUNNY JO
KOREA'S BEST POP PHOTOGRAPHER

THOSE PICKED BY HER BECOME POPULAR
THOSE PICKED ON FALLS DOWN

Didn't you give them instructions?

- I'm sorry.
- We are already running late.

She's a bit on edge today.

You should get ready quickly.

Let's go, guys!

So,

you want to change the title
to Kevin's song?

Yes.
They've been on all public music shows,

but the song isn't moving at all
in the big five charts.

That's why we believe it will be better
to switch fast to Kevin's song.

It's only been two weeks since release.
Can't we wait a bit more?

Yes, we should.
Number 51 is not bad for SOUL

Well, you can't deny
that I Like Your Dream is...

somewhat of a weak song.

For a song to be remembered,

it has to be cool like Kevin's song.

Like they're from outer space,
something very special.

They need to smash the hell out of...

Smash the hell out of what?
This is not their first album, you know.

Is he from the '80s or what?

How about Eunsung?

Yes?

They're doing well with the current title,
and they're passionate.

Our fandom's also liking the song.

That tiny fandom?

How about we stick to this song
at least until next week?

Not good, Sunday and Double J
are coming back next week.

If this goes wrong,
SOUL might not have another chance.

Kevin's playing the double check
next month,

so how about an addictive hook song,
like fried chicken?

You know how chicken always seem
to attract people?

Even people from other countries
are crazy about Korean chicken.

Spoken like
a true food and nutrition graduate.

Thanks, I was a good student.

Yes, hello.
I'll send it now.

Even the movie industry has
the "break-even point."

The cost of them eating meals,

getting their hair done,
driving places, hiring a manager...

I wonder if SOUL can make up
for the few hundred million won.

They will. Ms. Kang trusted them
and invested in them.

I know about Ms. Kang's trust
and investment on a lot of artists.

That's why she's giving SOUL a chance.

I mean, who else in this world
would give those boys a nice house.

But...

When Mr. Baek comes back,

Starlight might be listed overseas,

what do you think the investors will do?

I'm simply worried.

Don't talk, just use your body.
I like being physical.

Okay! Let's go!

We are getting it on, now!

Wait.

Hey, you.
Is that upside down?

- You out of your mind?
- I'm sorry.

We just wasted our time!

We're not shooting your face today.

We're shooting the chicken,
and you hold it upside down?

Do it right!

Your shoulders are too high,
little boy.

Baby!

Drop your shoulders.

Don't dance them around.

Three, flap your wings!

One more, yes. That's it!

Wait, you guys are one short.

Where's the pale handsome boy?

That would be me.
Kim Teo.

Don't play around.

Don't play around, Teo.

Oh, you mean Yunwoo?

He's shooting a film.

Okay.
At least, one of you is moving forward.

Hey, change the lens.

- To telephoto.
- Yes.

Next time, move back and jump.

Okay?

- Let's do it!
- Yes.

Manager, when is Eunbin coming?

- Manager!
- Yeah?

Oh, finished already?

When is Eunbin coming!

I'll make a call.

Like manager, like artist.

I hate my life.

Hey, let's take a break.

You're taking all your pills.

You will get well soon.

How are you?

Fine.

Well, there is a little trouble,

but it will go away soon.

HUR SOO-OK

Grandma.

I know I shouldn't see it,
but if there's something I really want to,

should I see it or not?

You should see it.

You used to say it's wrong
to look into the future.

- Don't remember?
- I did?

There are people that I worry about.

Should I see their future?

I never intentionally looked
into a future before,

but I might be able to do it
if I focus.

You want to see it more
if you don't.

Yeah.

Seeing it gives you energy.

How's Sooyong?

Who?

Sooyong.
He used to sing and dance with you.

That tall good-looking guy.

How do you know Sooyong?

Can you see again?

Yes.

She watched the show,
"Do-re-mi-fa-SOLO-si-do."

She wanted to watch you on it,
and she still remembers it.

Do you feel okay, today?

Sooyong.

- Yes?
- Eunbin's flight was delayed.

She's going to be late,

so SOUL's going back in.

Oh, okay.

I think...

I Like Your Dream
is a really good song.

It encourages you.

It's like the song's telling me,
"it's okay for you to have a dream."

Whenever Sunny gives me stress,
I listen to the song and stay strong.

You should stay strong, too.

Oh, thanks.

Then, who are our customers?

- Fans?
- Yes.

If a story is created that way,
they react more to the song, too.

Because it helps them to imagine.

I'm not saying you should obey,

just don't take an opportunity
for granted.

An opportunity to show bean jam
to the listeners.

For them to become addicted to it!

Hyunjo, did Ms. Kang make a decision?

If not, please give me some time.

Eunsung, I get you but...

Time can't tell you the future.

We used big data, talked to a seer,
but no one knows.

That's why I'm trying to figure it out.

You know this is important
for both SOUL and Starlight.

- Just give me some time.
- Wait, are you...

going to that tarot place
in Jeongbalsan Station?

Do you mean you can see the future
if you intend to?

If I intend to, yes.

I think that would make your life
a whole lot easier.

You can always make a better choice,

and become rich.

Or a politician could read
what the voters really want.

But the ability to see differs
for different eyes.

It's not as simple
as just reading a winning lottery number.

Oh, so you can't see that.

Well, I did vaguely see
the bitcoin trend...

But I shouldn't be mentioning this
on a TV show.

And I didn't use it.

Is there a reason for not using
your foresight?

Yes.

It's exhausting.

To give you an example,
it's like walking ahead,

for 50 to 500 meters and coming back.
It's exhausting.

You're not using the power
because it's exhausting.

You seem like a man
without greed.

Not exactly.

It's tiring for the body,
but your life might get exhausting, too.

"Exhausting?"

I just described this power
as seeing five meters ahead.

You said 50 meters.

Okay. Even if I see that much,
what difference would it make?

For example, if a car runs at you,
those who are quick can dodge it.

But most people can't even move,
although they can see it coming.

What does this mean?

So everything comes down
to the individual's choice and courage.

No. One might be able to dodge the car,
but fall in a manhole the next minute.

One might stand still on the road,
but the car might stop.

That's what I'm saying.

So you're saying
even your fate is whimsical.

Yes, correct.

Okay, thank you so much
for your interesting story.

If there's anything you'd like to add,
please feel free.

Like all things in this world,

you win some, you lose some.

You might lose something valuable

by using this power.

Lose something valuable?

Something very valuable in your life.

Something you would never want to lose.

Never want to lose?

In my case, that would be...

PARK HYUK-GWON
CITY COUNCILOR CANDIDATE

Votes?

- Dear voters...
- That's a bloody con man!

Even I can say that crap.

He's nothing but a smooth talker.

- Yeah!
- I know it.

What does he know about...

Eunsung!

Eunsung!

- Hyunjo...
- I'm still on the phone.

You don't have to ask Ms. Kang
for more time.

About SOUL?

I don't think I should try
to figure it out.

There's nothing to figure out.
By now, the game's over for them.

We don't know for sure.
This is not just a game.

This is a game.
The two are the same.

But I don't need to teach you this.
You're more realistic than me.

No way.

Something's up with you.

You're supposed to put numbers
into the equation, but you're not.

To be honest,
SOUL is not even your kid.

That's not the issue.

But it makes me feel strange.
I abandoned them, and you raise them.

I should be grateful,
but that's not the feeling I get.

What do you call this...

A sense of defeat?

Mr. Baek.

The one who provided a plan B
in the form of Icarus and saved the company.

The one with the plan to drive Kevin out,
because he has become a burden.

That was your plan.

And you had the courage
to take charge and carry it out.

You sound like you're trying to summarize
our history for whatever reasons.

Then, let's talk about the future.

It's not likely that changing the title
will do any good for SOUL.

Why don't we just break them up?

Guys.

No, sit down.
Let's talk freely, okay?

What can I possibly do
to make you guys act more natural?

Do you need some snacks?

Snacks work for dogs, you know.

Yes, talk to me.

I think you're pressuring us
and that's why we feel down.

What? Me?

When did I pressure you?

No, I think he wants to say
that we can and will do better,

and you don't need to worry.

Is he?

I trust you.

I want to ask you something.
Can you play our song?

That would make us
all bright and passionate.

Right, guys?
We can do this. This is easy.

So there was a problem
with the songs I chose.

It's not you, it's the songs.
So can you do better without me?

Not at all!
We will do our best with any song.

Yes, that's more like it.

Pass me the camera.

Get ready.

One, two, three, pose!

Okay!
All right, jump!

Great, guys!
Jump!

10 MINUTES LATER

You guys are ridiculous.

Don't you see I'm wearing a jumpsuit?

Even if I have to go the toilet,
I can't.

No, I won't.

I won't go until we do this right.
You're not going, too.

What will happen?
I'll pee here!

And would you like that?

Hello.

You'd like that?

I'm Yoo Eunsung from Starlight.

Nice to meet you.
Eunbin will be here soon.

I mean...

What do you want me to do
when these guys are not ready?

Yes, they have a lot to do,
don't they?

If you could please play their song once,
they will relax and smile,

and throw around their charm!

You're on about the song, again?

Well...

- Play it.
- Okay.

- Thank you!
- They're the first ones

to say that a song can make them smile.

Hey, you.
Swap the lens.

Should we play Kevin's song?

That's going to be the follow-up song
from next week.

No.

We're going with I Like Your Dream.

But we need Ms. Kang's permission...

Ms. Kang will approve.

So this is the song?
It's nothing unique.

But not bad.

Ready for another go?

The song's not that bad.

I played your song,
so I'm counting on you!

All right, let's have fun.

One, two, three, jump!

Okay, one more time.
One, two, three, jump!

That's it.

10 MINUTES EARLIER

I might lose
something valuable to me,

and if I do...

Well, then I'll just have
to find it again.

I can at least save SOUL.

Okay, I'm going to save SOUL.

I saw it.
SOUL's future.

I'll protect them.

PHOENIX CHICKEN

2 WEEKS LATER

What? Did the song drop?

Eunsung. What are you doing here,
not answering my calls?

Oh, I didn't know.

I stayed up all night yesterday.

How can you sleep?

Did you see I Like Your Dream
on the chart?

It was number 53 when I checked...

Wait...

It's not in the 70's.

Not in the 80's.

Is it pushed off the chart?

You have to scroll up.

Don't hang around the 2-digit area,
and scroll up. Up!

I Like Your Dream is number six?

It's number six, now?

Why are you so shocked?

You were the one who argued
it would be a hit.

Hey, I like your dream.
I like your dream, Eunsung!

I just meant we should stick to the song
we prepared. It suits them well, too.

Yes, it's not like you can see the future.
You must be shocked, too.

Don't you think Ms. Kang's
insight and decision...

Hold on.

Yes, Ms. Kang.
I was heading upstairs right now.

Yes, okay.

Yes.

Thank God.

I was worried
something bad might happen,

because I intentionally
looked into the future.

Like all things in this world,

you win some, you lose some.

You might lose something valuable

by using this power.

Something very valuable in your life.

Something you would never want to lose.

What's the thing
that's valuable in my life?

Something I never want to lose?

Irib?

What is it?
Is something wrong?

Eunsung, what should I do?

You forget things, these days.

You said we lose something valuable
when we see the future.

What about memories?

From late teens to mid 20's.

That's when a person's life can
shine the brightest.

Please let them enjoy a slice.

I like it.

Are you going back to Mongolia?

How have you been?

You've done well.
Until the end.

Thank you all for everything.

If I am happy with the present,
the future is changed?

I want to come with you.

Eunsung.

Sorry. I think this is for the best.
