BEHIND EVERY STAR

You were super restless in your sleep.

EPISODE 9

I guess I had a bad dream.

-Shall we?
-Yes.

Then who else will be on the show with me?

The others on the show…

are a secret.

You'll meet them when you get there.

So you really do things like this.
I'm looking forward to it.

Have you watched Earth Arcade?

Of course, I enjoyed it so much.

It's the hottest program right now.

I never imagined I would
get to be a part of season two.

Where's the location?

The location?

That is also

a secret.

You'll find out at the airport anyway.

And what we're going to do there is…

Also a secret.

Actually,

there is one thing you need to do.

What is it?

And that is…

So you go, then go up…

Joo-ryoung, why did he tell you
to train for rappelling?

-What will he make you do?
-Gosh.

Something like boot camp, probably.

But why do I have to do this with you?

Come on, have you no loyalty?
How can I do this alone?

Joo-ryoung, are you really not scared?

Hey, I went bungee jumping very often
when I was in the US.

Back then, it was much higher than this…

Joo-ryoung, what's wrong?

Right.

It's nothing.

Jung-don.

You can go first for now.

What?

I'll do it later. Untie me now.

-What's wrong?
-Joo-ryoung, what is it?

-I need to make a restroom run.
-Restroom.

You went three times already.

-Please make it quick.
-Okay.

-I'll be back.
-Join me after.

-See you.
-Joo-ryoung.

Wait, no.

What?

Prepare for descent!

Good luck.

Descent.

Going down.

Joo-ryoung!

DIRECTOR JANG MYUNG-AEH

Is something going on at work?

No, nothing.

Make sure you go tell him.

If you don't, I'll go over
and turn the place upside down.

Okay.

I'll be back.

Goodness.

-Director Ma.
-Hey.

My mom is here.

Where?

At my place.

She came yesterday.

I see.

I'm eating lunch with her
tomorrow afternoon,

and she asked for you to join
if you have time.

I have a previous engagement tomorrow.

I see.

What about the day after?

The day after? Probably a meeting.

If you don't come,
she said she'll come to the office.

I'll be there tomorrow.
I can push my schedule back.

Okay.

What will happen
to Director Jang Myung-aeh now?

Will she really retire like this?

-We'll take the plants to the warehouse.
-Yes.

We'll use the elevator, so this way.

-Okay.
-Please be careful.

The newbie is tearing the place down.

It's best to stay low
and be quiet in times like these.

Gosh.

Has Director Jang
contacted you separately?

I took over her line of work.

I needed some files from you,
so I sent an email.

Please check those,

and finish it by Monday morning.

Everyone's been working late these days.

We also have tons of work
the president asked us to do.

I see.

Then I'll relay
your exact words to the president.

No.

I'm just sharing the situation.
It's not that I won't do it.

Email me all the files
related to Ko Eun-gyul.

Ko Eun-gyul? Why?

Because I need it.

"Because I need it."

Unbelievable.

Look at how she kicked Director Jang out
and took her office.

Good grief.

But wait.

Why did she single out Eun-gyul
and ask for his file?

The client whom Director Jang
was exclusively in charge of.

They're all calling me
because they can't reach her.

I have to meet them individually
and sort it out,

but I'm really bad at this stuff. Gosh.

Should I do it?

Really?

Aren't you busy?

I'm fine. I'll do it.

Joo-ryoung.
You can't get over this in a few days.

You should be honest with Producer Nah
and tell him you can't do it.

Jung-don, I really want to do this.

It might be because
I wasn't feeling my best that day.

Okay, Joo-ryoung.

I'll talk to the trainers again.

Joo A-hyun won't sign with us.

She even got all the terms she wanted.
Why all of a sudden?

She thinks she can't work in Korea.

Man, what do we do?
We worked to get her for a long time.

I went back and forth from Paris
for over a year to get her…

Darn it.

Hey, maybe she heard Kim Ji-hoon's story.

Apparently, the president of Star Media
is spreading rumors

that we took his actor by conning him.

No.

I doubt it.

Damn, that Cho Gi-bong.

Hey, Won-jae.

What?

What's this about
cutting the budget for field work?

We're discussing it now. Close the door.

I heard you're going to cut down
on their food and travel costs.

We should be providing more
for their hard work.

Exactly.

They work hard,
so they should get good rest.

I'm totally fine with
expenses from their job.

But tagging along on
actors' personal matters? That's too much.

It's a part of our job
to manage their personal life.

If something happens when they're alone--

We can think about that when that happens.

Agents tag along
when actors go for a drink

just to wait in the car all night.

Let's not do that. It's too low.

I get what you're saying,

but if you suddenly cut costs,
there will be complaints from the field.

And why wouldn't you
discuss these things with us?

If you keep meddling with the field--

Just…

Leave management up to us.

This line of work
is different from other fields.

Keep this up and
the company won't operate smoothly.

So I should just pump in my money,
and sit around and watch?

No, you don't know the business,
so just leave it to us.

And if I do,

can you cover the tax penalty losses?

Let's do this.

You'll each bring me a significant
achievement within the next week,

then I'll leave the work up to you.

If you don't bring anything,

you will no longer talk back to me.

Are you trying to make a bet--

Let's do that. Sure.

All right.

Also, there are actors
who do nothing after signing with us,

so let's slowly cut off
those contracts too.

Time is money.

Wait a minute. Hey.

Don't worry. He can't do much anyway.

You must have some sort of plan.

Hey, you got…

Mr. Kim, focus on
Kim Joo-ryoung doing well.

You know how everyone is
lined up for Nah Yung-suk's shows.

Nurture a good relationship,
and get more of our actors in his shows.

You said back then that

you don't know the business,
so you'll leave it to us.

Why do you meddle with every little thing?

It's adorable to see you so mad.

Je-suk.

You did all kinds of things
to keep the company together.

What was his name again?

Lee Sang-uk?

I can't believe
you hit on the tax investigator.

Well,

you've been like that since childhood.

You always did what you wanted
no matter what it took.

Ambitious and hate to lose.

Are you going to punch me?

No one would take you
if you get fired for that.

You have an awful rep in this field.

Not getting in?

I take off my school uniform…

ACTOR CONTRACT REVOCATION AGREEMENT

You're telling me not to make use
of Method's name elsewhere.

I'm sorry.

I heard I'm the last one.

Did everyone else agree to this
without any complaints?

They always send
the underlings to do these things.

I finished watching
Rainbow Bridge yesterday.

The one you starred in.

I don't have many scenes.

But you played an important role.

And I'm not just saying this.

I really loved your performance in it.

I made it this far
thanks to Director Jang.

Older supporting actors like us
are like kites without strings

unless we have a connection like her.

Mr. Park.

If it's okay with you,

what do you think about
working with a new agent?

That's true.

But can she try one more session?

There are safety concerns too.

If she's in that state,

it'll be tough for her to get trained
at other places too.

Okay, I understand.

Hee-sun, Jin-hyeok told me

that you haven't been auditioning.

Director Ma is such a busy man

that he has no time
for a nameless actor like me.

There's this director
named Oh Hun coming over.

Do you want to meet him?

Oh Hun?

The actor-director, Oh Hun?
Last year's Berlinale awardee?

You're right. He's a close friend.

Hee-sun, come for a second.

He's getting ready for a film,
a musical film.

I told him we have an actress
who can sing very well.

I mean you.

Really? My goodness.

I'm a huge fan of Director Oh.

Well, he's on his way now. Have a seat.

Okay.

All right. Try crossing your legs.

Hand on your chin.

You look like an indie singer. Good.

I'm going to switch the entire ending.

The river doesn't capture everything,
so I'm planning to use the sea.

It's much broader.
You know I like stuff to be big.

Of course, the sea is much better.

She's the one I told you about.

Actress Kang Hee-sun,
singer and an actress.

I thought she'd be perfect for this
as soon as I read your script.

She has the right voice
for a musical film.

My film isn't just a musical film.

It's an erotic musical cinema.

-Grab a seat.
-Sure.

You two look great.

So…

It may be that I'm not aware, but

have you released an album?

I'm not a singer who releases albums.

I mostly sing live on the stage.

I prefer that.

I'm not looking for someone
who has technical skills,

but someone with a unique tone of voice.

Imagine this.

Nature as it was in the beginning.

As deep as the roots of the earth,

yet as light

as a leaf.

Yes, I see.

That thing you like.

That's her voice.

Half air, half moisture.
She moistens your ears--

I'm sorry.

This must be sent quickly,
but I have to leave now.

Give this to the courier later.

I'm in a hurry.

Bye.

Aren't you a signed actress here?

-I am.
-So why is this…

It's method acting.

She's about to go into a reading
for an office drama.

So everyone is helping her prepare.

You're right.
"Give this to the courier later."

That was so smooth.

Everyone loves her.

-Is that so?
-You flatter me.

You've improved a lot.

I'm getting much better with lessons.

-Hey, Director Ma.
-Hello, President Bae.

I've been practicing
to get up to your level.

Goodness, don't be modest.

I've been watching your drama.
People love it.

It's great on the outside,

but the set…

It'd be much easier
if we had an agent like you, right?

It'd be easier to control our actors too.

Then why don't we work together?

Then I can help you out.

Really? Then what can I do for you?

I would love to take part in your work
as a producer.

-How about a drink after practice?
-Sounds great.

-See you soon.
-Sure.

Don't mind what happened on that day.

-Joo-ryoung.
-Okay.

I gave this a thought.

There's a method called exposure therapy
that's used to treat phobias.

Instead of avoiding your fear,
you expose yourself to it to overcome it.

Let's get in.

-Get in?
-Yes.

How far does this go up?

-Higher than you think.
-Really?

Don't worry. Stay focused.

-You got this.
-I got this.

-You can do this.
-I can.

We're here.

Joo-ryoung.

-Don't back out.
-Hey, I can't do this.

But you came this far.

Joo-ryoung. Think of Nah Yung-suk.

All right. One step at a time.

-It's okay. I'll hold you.
-Don't let go, okay?

One more step.

Joo-ryoung!

No, Joo-ryoung!

-Hold tightly!
-I am!

No, Joo-ryoung!

Gosh, my back.

I was never afraid of such things before.

So why am I suddenly like this?

It must be caused by pressure.

Could you be more specific?

On the set of Squid Game,

there was a scene
where you fell through the glass bridge.

You wanted to perform so well back then

because it was such an important scene.

The burden from that time
turned into pressure,

and that pressure became trauma,

which makes you freeze up
when faced with a similar situation.

Well, actually,
that was my last scene as Mi-nyeo.

So I thought her story would end nicely

only if I successfully act out
her complicated feelings,

so I did experience such pressure.

On top of that,

I couldn't sleep a wink
the night before the shoot.

Even after I was done with the scene,
I didn't like the end result.

Your dream and the kindness
in your heart not to harm others.

And you knew this was a real chance,
and you had to make the best of it.

You had a tough time physically,
emotionally, and psychologically.

And your body remembers that.

I'd like to take on Mr. Park Chun-bae.

Who's he?

An actor Director Jang used to manage.

He played
lots of supporting roles and extras,

and he recently took up

an important role on a show
called Rainbow Bridge.

Didn't I tell you to get rid of him?

You probably don't know,

but he's highly respected
in the theater scene.

If we officially sign a contract with him

and pay him a little more attention,

he'll be able to land
much better projects in the future.

If you want to sign actors by talent,

there's a truck full of them
in the theater district.

So what I mean is--

No.

If you want to convince me,

then show me
how he'll benefit this agency.

Ms. Lim is right about that.

Actors with lots of experience
but low public profiles

end up losing us money
once we take out the expenses.

He might not want to sign with us.

He's not paid a lot,
so if he splits it with us,

there's not much left for him.

Money is always the problem, isn't it?

You already have a lot of work.

Why do you make more work for yourself?

Is it to get on the president's good side?

It's not like that.

I'll eat lunch alone today.

Their dishes are out of this world.

-Shall we eat together?
-I'm meeting my mom today.

Enjoy your lunch.

Have a good time then.

Then let's go eat lunch, Eun-soo.

Eun-soo.

Let's go eat.

I brought lunch. You can eat alone.

Please. That's enough.

I need to look younger,
even if it's only a year.

You're killing me.

I'm too hungry. Let's order first.

Excuse me.

He's here.

What is this? Why does he look the same?

You look the same too.

-It's been a while.
-Hey.

You still look rad…

wonderful.

Jeong-hee, you're the same too.
You haven't changed a bit.

You haven't ordered, right?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Come take our order.

Mom.

Hello.

I can't seem to reach my husband.

Oh, no. My gosh.

Please pick up.

Director Ma left for lunch
about an hour ago.

Director Ma, it's Eun-soo.

Your wife is at the office. What do I do?

-Oh, no!
-She's over there.

I think she's onto us. What now?

Call me when you hear this.

Eun-soo.

Eun-soo?

I'm sorry.

-Eun-soo.
-I have to hurry out right now.

Do you know where my husband is?

Hee-sun said you would know.

I wouldn't know.

I'm late for lunch right now.

I have to eat with Hyun-joo
and her mother right now.

I'm running late, so I must go.

Hyun-joo's mother?

Yes, she came from Busan yesterday.

Goodbye.

I'll come with you.

I haven't had lunch yet either.

How can you two not say a word to me?

You two are the same.

No, she got her stubbornness from you.

Spending time with her,
I see now how similar you two are.

I really didn't know he was here.

Long time no see, Hyun-joo.

Honey.

Long time no see, Honey.

Well…

Hello.

Hello.

I always wanted a chance to meet you.

My name is Song Eun-ha.

I'm his wife.

My name is So Jeong-hee. Hyun-joo's mom.

Let's talk outside.

Eun-soo, you should go back to the office.

Why are you here? So Ji-sub--

Your dad must be coming.

I'll explain this later.
You should go back.

Is she onto us?

-Is she?
-No, go back.

Go now.

I asked him to meet us.

You don't have to explain, Hyun-joo.

Do you come to Seoul often?

No, I came to meet her.

Otherwise, I wouldn't visit Seoul.

Tae-oh and I last met
when she entered high school,

and it's been eight years since then.

When do you go back to Busan?

Before the weekend.

May I have your number?

-Why do you need--
-I'd like to meet you

before you return.

Let's do that.

Excuse me.

A glass of whiskey, please.

-Me too.
-Me too.

Why did you get her number?

Why do you want to meet her?

We have to talk, woman to woman.

How far will you take this?

Wasn't it enough for you to kick me out?

And this isn't fair to Hyun-joo.

Do you think I'm hiding something else?

Or the alimony?
How much more do you want from me?

I didn't take anything from you!

You put our home up for sale
without telling me.

That house is mine.

I paid for the remodeling
and the maintenance.

Unbelievable. I never knew
you were such a petty man.

Why did you come to the office?

To see if my unfaithful husband
is doing well alone.

What now?

Eun-gyul told me you collapsed.

I was an idiot for being worried.

It's really over.

You'll get the divorce papers.
Sign it and send it back.

Man.

I was out of my mind for a moment.

I thought he'd take care of you,
since he's your dad after all.

This is so wrong.

Pack up. You're coming with me.

I'm already having a tough time at work.

-Why are you piling on?
-So just quit!

No one will miss you even if you quit.

Everything you do there
isn't even important.

It's not like
you work with a famous actor.

An actor's career doesn't equal fame.

Even if no one recognizes my work,
even if my work seems petty,

it's important to me.

Hey.

Hee-sun, can you call me a courier?

A-hyun.

What brings you here?

I'm not here to see you, Ms. Chun.

Hyun?

-Hey!
-Hey! What's going on?

-It's been so long!
-Why are you in Korea?

-What's going on?
-It's been so long!

I'm so glad to see you.

How do you two know each other?

When I was in New York,

his company was
a sponsor for my model agency.

He was such a big help.

Why didn't you tell me
that Mr. Koo was the president?

Mr. Koo?

Yes, hello.

Yes.

I'm very sorry, I forgot to call you back.

Yes.

I haven't checked…

I'm sorry. Let me call you back.

A-hyun!

Why didn't you tell us
you knew each other?

You never asked.

Whatever. So will she sign with us?

I didn't ask.

What?

You didn't want me
to meddle in those affairs.

What? You can't do it on your own?
Do you want me to help?

She'll say yes if I ask.

Promise you'll accept me as the president

and follow every decision I make.

Then I'll help.

I thought about why
you were dying to harass me like this.

In the sixth grade,

I took the entire class
to a hamburger place

because I wanted to be
the entertainment officer.

ENTERTAINMENT OFFICER

I want to be the entertainment officer.

Hamburgers are on me, guys.

Je-suk, hamburgers are on me!

-Let's make you the entertainment officer!
-Back then,

you had a crush on me,

so you said you'd buy everything
when I didn't even ask.

You made a whole speech
about how your parents ran the place.

You began to wail and throw a fit
when you found out I liked someone else.

-Goodness.
-I like you.

Be my boyfriend.

You haven't changed a bit since then.

A kid who's dying for attention.

I'll take care of Joo A-hyun.
Mind your own.

And also,

do you want people to acknowledge you?
Then start acting like a grown-up.

Stop harassing others
while demanding attention.

We have an announcement.

This Sunday,

President Koo Hae-jun will hold
a magnificent inauguration ceremony.

Please come and take part.

Let me repeat.

This Sunday,

President Koo Hae-jun will hold
a magnificent appointment…

I'm going to invite directors, writers,

and everyone that works in broadcasting.

If you're busy, don't come.
But if you have time, join me as you like.

Over.

I'll show you what I'm capable of.

What?

What did he say?

He said come if you like.

It means we don't have to go, right?

I bet my entire fortune that
he'll harass you for life if you don't.

How can he want an inauguration ceremony

after what he did to Director Jang?

Really, it's awful.

Let's boycott the ceremony, everyone.

What?

We can't stand back and just watch him
run the company however he wants.

We should have done something
when Director Jang was dismissed.

Darn it.

Now,

it's not too late to show him.
Let's all boycott the ceremony.

He can try without his staff.

What if he fires all of us?

Then we can all leave.

If we all leave at once,
we aren't the ones who'll be sorry.

It's Koo Hae-jun.

Then we'll be able to bring
Director Jang back too.

Yes.

And above all,
we have Director Ma with us.

You told President Koo

to leave management up to you.

That he shouldn't harass us anymore.

No, that's because…

Please take the lead once again.

It'll be such great motivation for us
if you do.

Man.

Okay, fine.

Let's make a promise.

We're boycotting
the inauguration ceremony.

Okay.

Gosh, fine. All right.

Gosh.

It's betrayal if you go to the ceremony.

INAUGURATION D-1

Hello.

Any updates?

We chose the venue.

It's trendy yet luxurious,
a great match with your image.

-Indeed.
-Yes.

I like it.

And the caterer is operated by a chef
from a five-star hotel restaurant.

Sounds great.

Are you all excited?

-Yes!
-Yes!

Then I'll see you at the ceremony.

-Yes!
-Yes!

I booked a hotel room for the weekend.

I won't pick up even if he calls.

You, Won-jae, and Hyun-joo.

Turn your phones off, all right?

-Mission complete, ma'am.
-Okay.

Hello, A-hyun. This is Chun Jane.

It's a shame we couldn't talk
when you visited.

If you have time…

You're leaving in two days?

Then before you do…

Wait, where?

You'll do what?

I'd like to sing
at the president's inauguration ceremony.

Exactly. Why?

I hear Director Oh Hun will be there.

After he listens to me sing,

you can talk him up to see what he thinks.

Well… One second.

Hello, Producer Nah.

What?

Yes, Producer Nah. Okay.

All right.

Joo-ryoung, have this.

It's your usual.

Thanks a lot, Jung-don.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Producer Nah is
going out of the city next week,

so he wants to talk to you
before he leaves.

Okay.

Joo-ryoung.

Nobody knows about your fear of heights
except for me.

Keep up your counseling, and you'll be
better by the time you leave the country.

So don't worry.

All right.

Anyway, where's Won-jae?
Why are you driving?

Won-jae had an all-nighter yesterday.

I see, then he should rest.

I don't think it's a good idea
to bring up Squid Game for a while.

It'll remind you of that falling scene.

I wasn't thinking about it,

but I just remembered
because you mentioned it!

Hey.

INAUGURATION CEREMONY

Hello.

-I'm here.
-Hi.

You really came.

How are you?

He's over there. This way, please.

Producer Nah, you're here.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-Director Ma, you're also here.
-Hello, Joo-ryoung.

-So you came.
-Mr. Kim, you're here too.

I love the ambiance of this ceremony.

I should go to Method
for Business Trip to Work.

Sure, come by anytime.

And President Bae of SY Pictures.

I've heard a lot about you.

-Hello.
-Yes, it's an honor to meet you.

I'm a huge fan of Squid Game.

I especially loved Han Mi-nyeo.

-You were the best.
-Thank you.

You traitor.

What about you?

I had to come because of Joo-ryoung.

I came to talk to President Bae too.

To talk? About what?

President Bae and I will work together.
A co-production.

I'll tell President Koo later,
so keep it quiet.

And let's pretend
we didn't see each other today.

Okay?

You traitors.

And you were the one
who talked everyone into this.

What about you?

You said we'd quit together.

When did I say that?

I never took things that far.

You're here for Joo A-hyun, aren't you?

Yes.

She's leaving tomorrow.
It's my last chance to talk to her.

If we want to sign with her,
it's now or never.

Everyone probably had faith in us.

I'm too ashamed to see them.

Microphone test.

All right.

And now, let us begin
the inauguration ceremony

for President Koo Hae-jun
of Method Entertainment.

All guests, please get together
for a moment. Thank…

-…you very much.
-Let's scram.

There's no exit that way.

Greetings. My name is Koo Hae-jun.

First off, I'd like to thank everyone who…

Yes, nice to meet you.

Why am I suddenly sweating?

Producer Nah, thank you.

Instead of boring you with greetings,
I'll end it with a quick announcement.

President Bae, please.

Method Entertainment will collaborate
with President Bae's SY Pictures

and participate more actively
to coproduce dramas and films.

And I'll do my best

to provide our actors with more chances
to work on great projects.

On top of that, it'll be even better
if we make more money.

What's going on?

You were talking to me.
Why did you tell him?

What do you mean?

Who else should I be talking to
if not the CEO?

That thing we discussed over golf.

I mentioned it to President Koo,

and he said he was thinking about it too.

He wanted to announce it
along with his ceremony.

So I said yes.

I sent you the divorce papers.
Sign and return them.

Anyway, that President Koo.
He's such a big man--

Let's talk again later.

Director Ma!

-It was great meeting you.
-Sure.

A-hyun.

Have you thought about my offer?

I'm not sure.

I'd have to start from ground zero.

If the Korean market is too much,
why don't you start in the States?

Other people probably see you

only as a celebrity or a big-shot model,

but not me.

You're already a world-famous model,

so you should also become
a world-famous actress

together with me.

One, two, three.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Actually,

I'm a huge fan of Squid Game.

Especially Han Mi-nyeo.

-Yes, thank you.
-Me too.

I was really heartbroken
when she fell off the bridge.

I see. Thank you.

-Yes, thank you.
-Thank you.

Squid Game really has had a big impact.

Right.

Anyway,

how's the rappel training?

Producer Nah, a toast.

Sure.

-Cheers.
-Cheers.

Mr. Kim.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Hee-sun.

Director Oh Hun is over there.

You should go.
Producer Nah and I can drink here.

-I'll make it quick.
-Okay.

-I'll be back soon.
-Sure.

So when the rappel suddenly drops--

Producer Nah.

This is so good. May I have another glass?

-One more?
-Yes, one more.

Can you pour me one?

ACTOR CONTRACT REVOCATION AGREEMENT

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have made the offer
if I couldn't follow through.

Don't say that.

I was grateful for your offer

to be my agent.

I felt like

I was somewhat useful as an actor.

Right.

If you get a hold of Director Jang,

please tell her that
I really appreciated her hard work.

I can't seem to reach her.

PARK CHUN-BAE

You're here at this hour?

I had some overdue work.

What brings you here?

I have some work to do too.

I'm sorry…

about that day.

There was a situation at the restaurant.

Things have been

quite complicated recently.

Anyway, my wife doesn't know a thing.

Don't worry about it.

Director Ma.

You don't have to try
to take responsibility for everything.

If I…

If we can help you with anything,

let us know anytime.

Okay. Thanks.

Eat up!

You have my trust, Ms. Chun Jane.
Let's make this work.

You won't regret your decision.

Gosh.

I'll get going. I have an early flight.

-Let me take you.
-It's okay. My ride's here.

I'll call you.

Don't drink too much, Hae-jun.

You don't have to come.

Jeez.

Drink up!

Told you, didn't I?

That I'd get Joo A-hyun by myself.

Isn't this a significant achievement?

Jeez.

Don't you think
you and I are too much alike?

We hate to lose.
We have to have whatever we want.

And you're dying to win against me

because we're the same.
You know, loathing your own kind.

Just admit your defeat
and stop making up lousy excuses.

Excuses? What excuses?

All you did was sign with a model.

You didn't even sign her.
It was just a chat.

What now? All I did?

Yes, that's right.

Hey, you were trying so hard earlier.

Were you dying for my recognition?

I'm showing you that we do well
without you, so stop running wild.

-Don't you get it?
-Run wild? When?

I only say the right things.

You can hold your liquor.

Whenever I look at you

My heart doesn't feel like my own

Whenever you smile at me

Time stands still

Like fate

Like an old dream

Only if I can fill this world with you

The day you come and be with me

Will be the day I believe

In the word fate

I'm sorry.

Forget it. I have no excuses either.

We're all the same.

We're just helpless people.

Goodness, he's making
so many moves on Hee-sun.

That director always
dates the actress in his film.

Hee-sun should be careful.

Why? She has a boyfriend.

What?

No way.

When I tried to set her up,

she said she isn't with anyone,

but she doesn't want
to date anyone for a while.

Like an old dream

Only if I can fill this world with you

I like you.

I have a boyfriend now.

Will be the day I believe

In the word fate

The call could not be made.
You will be redirected to voicemail.

Charges will be made after the tone.

Director Jang.

It's me, Hyun-joo.

I'm sorry.

Everything that's happened to you…

is all my fault.

I'm so sorry.

I wanted to protect
all of the actors you worked with,

but I didn't have the strength.

I'm sorry.

Where did Jung-don go?

Jung-don.

Have you seen my Jung-don?

No.

-We don't know him very well.
-No.

-All right. I'm sorry.
-Sorry.

Goodbye.

Where has Jung-don gone?

Have you seen my Jung-don?

Have you?

I am honestly

scared.

Overcome?

Right.

I shall overcome!

Hey.

What are you doing up there?

It's dangerous up there. Come down.

Hey.

Right.

If you could,
you would have come down ages ago.

Why would you be crying up there
if you could?

Hey, but still.

You have to jump down.

You can't stay there forever.

Jane.

Jane.

Why did you drink so much?

How did you come here?

Why are you so late?

I missed you so much.

I'm sorry for everything.

Don't ever leave

without me.

I won't.

My goodness.

Somebody save me!

Joo-ryoung!

Oh, my.

Jung-don, where have you been?

How did you get up there?

No idea.

I was up here once I sobered up.

Why did you go up there
when you're afraid of heights?

Fear of heights? What?

Goodness, Joo-ryoung.

How did you get up there?

-What's this about fear of heights?
-It's not that.

No, stop it!

Joo-ryoung.

Just drop down.

-What?
-Let go of your hands.

Remember what the doctor said?

Joo-ryoung, don't try so hard.

You've done well enough.

You know that.

Let go. Just let it all go, Joo-ryoung!

Joo-ryoung.

I'm right here. I have you.

Joo-ryoung, let's do it together.

I'll hold you tight.

I'll catch you.

Let go.

Okay. I'll try.

You can do this, Joo-ryoung.

Are you all right?

Yes.

So where's Jung-don?

Joo-ryoung.

-Are you okay?
-Hey.

Were you here like this?

Jung-don.

Thank you, Jung-don.

Great job.

-Thank you.
-No problem.

I'm finally sobering up.

It's really effective.

It is. Thanks.

Jung-don.

You know that

when I was about to give up

on 20 years of my career as an actor,

I took on Squid Game.

I thought, "Fine, I'll do this and quit."

That's why I did my best
and gave it my all.

Of course I know, Joo-ryoung.

It was tough for me just watching you.

After Squid Game became a huge hit,

I was very grateful and happy

that people loved and welcomed me,

but I was also afraid.

Afraid it would go back to the way it was.

That's nonsense. Why would you think that?

Joo-ryoung, this is just the beginning.

You're an actor that makes people
anticipate your next role.

I know it for sure.

So you have to believe in yourself
and march forward.

Do you think I can really do a good job?

I know because
I've been with you to this day.

Also,

don't try so hard.

Jung-don.

I am…

so glad that you're my agent.

Me too.

Thanks.

Thank you, I mean it.

Why are you like this today?

-Let's go.
-Shall we?

Right.

Producer Nah just heard
that I have a fear of heights. What now?

I'll talk to him once again.

I think it'll be more interesting.

What's so fun about watching someone
do what they're good at.

It's more touching to see
someone muster up courage

and overcome their fears. Isn't that so?

Gosh, Producer Nah.

Let's fly through the sky in style.

Sorry?

The sky?

-Why would I fly?
-What?

-Producer Nah.
-Producer Nah.

Did you say the sky?

Yung-suk!

-Producer Nah!
-Wait, Yung-suk!

No, I can't fly!

Director Ma, why don't you lead

the co-production with SY Pictures?

I think you'll do great.

I take off my school uniform…

Traitor. Renegade.

The managers and Director Ma
were there too.

-Why are you so harsh with us?
-Exactly.

-Eun-soo.
-Traitor.

I'm sorry.

Gosh, how much did she drink?

-Did you get home well?
-I did.

-Did you have fun?
-Yes.

I had fun too.

Hey, Suk.

Drink this and sober up.

I'm dying here.

You drank like a fish.

Hey, you got sauce on your hair.

How did you come here?

What are you spewing?
I got us hangover drinks.

Why are you so late?

I missed you so much.

You're wasted. A goner. Goodness.

I'm sorry for everything.

So don't ever leave without me.

What the hell are you saying? Hey!

Hey, what's with you?

Actor Park Chun-bae,
who starred in Rainbow Bridge,

was nominated for Best Supporting Actor
at the Golden Film Festival.

He was a lesser-known actor who endured
a 30-year career outside of the spotlight.

That's all for today.

BEHIND EVERY STAR

-That day…
-It was a mistake.

And I already love someone else.

The tax guy? What about kissing?
Was I first? Who did you kiss first?

-Director Oh Hun? Just the two of you?
-This is a restricted area.

Do you feel like he's taken her?

Make sure Daniel Henney stars in this film
or I'll terminate his contract.

-Sorry, but I don't have time.
-Chun Je-suk!

Daniel must do this film.
We can't miss this. I'm dead serious.

It's such an incredibly ridiculous idea.

Director Ye refuses to work with Daniel.

-What should we do?
-I think I can help.

The real problem is So Hyun-joo.

We can take legal action and fire her.
