BEHIND EVERY STAR

He's beautiful.

Like a painting.

His every move

is like a work of art.

-He waved at me. -No, he waved at me.

They had this beautiful Golden Retriever

just sitting out in the sun all day.

No water, no food.

And I just couldn't believe they're doing that to a dog.

-It was crazy. -Yeah, that was too much.

Yeah, I know. You know me like I'm gonna say something.

I asked them and...

Give me your address. I'll send your stuff.

…there's nothing they could do. It's just…

Hello?

-Are you listening? -Yeah. Of course.

So, what brings you here today?

You asked me. Remember?

All right. I'm sorry.

I was out of my mind

-for a second. -It's all right.

She's an up-and-coming director.

She won Best New Director at the Blue Dragon Film Awards.

We're going to co-produce this film with SY Pictures.

Director Ma, please take charge.

And cast our actors.

Okay.

The main character is Korean-American.

-How about Daniel Henney? -He can't do it.

Why not?

The script seemed interesting.

You don't trust my judgment?

Or is there another reason why you're opposed?

He's not going to star in the film just because we produce it.

We should ask his opinion first--

Daniel Henney…

These are the earnings of our clients from the past three years.

Daniel Henney's is the lowest. Why is that?

He's been working constantly in the US, hasn't he?

He's different from our other actors.

We're working with him similarly to how agencies work in the US.

So our role is simply to support his projects in Korea…

Say something.

You can't judge an actor simply by how much money they earn.

Then how should we judge them?

Daniel is an established Hollywood star.

Just having him as a client in and of itself is meaningful.

It also helps other actors go global too.

So what you're saying is that

just having him around makes us look successful?

That's not what I--

Fine, if you say so.

Since you only care about how much money an actor makes,

you probably couldn't understand.

You're right. I couldn't possibly understand.

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

In his case…

I got you a new film and even found the right actor for it.

I've given it to you on a silver platter.

If you can't do the rest, isn't that a problem?

Or do you think I'm running wild again?

So, where do you want to go?

It doesn't matter with me.

Daniel!

Hi, Jane!

-How are you? -Yes. What about you?

-Of course. -Did you talk to him about this?

I was planning to over lunch.

-Director Ye Min-su? -You know her, right?

She won the Best New Director Award for Silly Romance.

I loved that movie. It was a beautiful film.

I'll talk about it over lunch.

Give it a read. It's her new work.

Her what?

-Her new film. New script. -Oh, really?

I'll talk to him about it.

We don't have time.

Other agencies are after this. What if we lose it?

Wait a second. Is this why you have me come in?

-Right? -Right.

The main character suits you perfectly.

-Really? -Wait.

How about meeting Director Ye in person?

What's the rush? Let him read it first.

I think we should meet her while you're in Seoul.

Okay, that sounds good.

Okay, that's great. Let me give her a call.

-Give me just a second. -Wait.

Ms. Chun.

Okay.

METHOD CHUN JANE

Hello.

Did I wake you? I'm sorry. This is Chun Jane from Method.

Go ahead.

I was wondering if we could meet up

and talk about your new film with Daniel Henney.

-Who? -Daniel Henney.

He thinks your new script is incredible.

He's dying to meet you.

Daniel Henney?

That Daniel Henney?

Imagine Daniel Henney starring in your film.

You two would make such an incredible pair.

Right.

It's such an incredibly ridiculous idea.

Hello--

How did it go?

She's over the moon.

Okay.

A man who seems to be too good to be true.

An ordinary woman marries him

and finds her way between the fantasy and reality of marriage.

Daniel Henney is perfect for this.

I'm sure we can find an alternative.

He's seen all your films.

He finished reading this on the spot and absolutely wanted to be in it.

I guess his tastes have changed.

Four years ago,

I met him for the first time at a film festival event

I asked him to read my script,

but he gave me his email address,

saying he was flying to the US after the event

and would read it there.

So you two have already met.

I got a reply from him.

"I feel uncomfortable being contacted directly,

so please don't send me any more emails."

"I'm going to delete the script and pretend I didn't read it."

That was the first draft of Stranger.

I wrote it before Silly Romance, and it was my first full-length film.

I guess he's changed his opinion about me now that I've won an award?

Tell him to forget it.

Director?

What do you think?

What?

The commercial proposal.

Right

It's made with coffee bean extract?

And this is for Eun-gyul?

Yes. Isn't that great?

"Enjoy it like coffee anytime, anywhere."

Something like that?

It does wake me up a bit.

You're good.

Why did you report to Director Ma about Eun-gyul's commercial?

Ms. Chun's in charge of it.

Eun-gyul is his son,

so I thought he might want to know.

Does Director Ma have something to do with

you being Eun-gyul's agent?

You pretend to serve Ms. Chun,

but you also serve Director Ma behind her back?

Shrewd move.

Think whatever you want.

Why aren't you saying anything about Park Chun-bae's nomination

for an award?

"See? I told you so."

I thought you'd brag along those lines.

I don't have the right to brag.

It's not like I'm his agent.

Jane? How did it go with Henney?

I'm working on it.

We should sign a contract as soon as we know his schedule.

Okay, and…

Director Ye refuses to work with Daniel.

Why?

He turned her down four years ago at the first draft of Stranger.

Did you know?

No, it's news to me.

This is driving me crazy.

Anyway, she adamantly refuses to work with him.

In that case…

there's nothing we can do.

That's it? That's all you can say?

If the director doesn't want him, what can we do?

Let's find another film for Daniel.

I mean, you've seen the script.

Then you must know it's going to be huge.

Regardless of what Koo Hae-jun thinks, Daniel Henney must--

Ms. Yoo, I'm really sorry, but this is an important matter.

Could you excuse us?

I was talking to him first, and you barged in.

Then, persuade the director first.

We'll schedule a meeting once she says yes.

How about we let them meet and talk--

That won't work.

What if things get worse if they meet up?

Okay. Then let me ask Daniel what exactly happened.

I'm meeting him tomorrow anyway, so I'll ask him what happened.

Okay, please do that.

Director Ma, Daniel must do this film.

We can't miss this. I'm dead serious.

I'll ask him tomorrow and let you know.

I'll leave you two to talk.

Gosh.

She can be so rude sometimes.

Right. Where were we?

All agents at the office are to come to the meeting room right--

I mean, to the meeting room, please.

Close the door.

Tomorrow, I'll be interviewing applicants for Talent Development Team manager.

I want the managers to participate in the interviews.

Ultimately, the final decision is mine

but we want to ensure a fair process.

Shall we start with Ms. Chun?

-Attend tomorrow's interviews. -Sorry, but I don't have time.

-The day after? -I'm busy all week.

I'm leaving if the meeting is over.

Chun Je-suk!

There are nine applicants.

-Me too. -Okay, ten.

Each manager should interview at least three applicants.

Be sure to make time.

Let me check my schedule first.

I'm choosing the date and time. Okay?

What was with you and President Koo back there?

Did you two have a fight or something?

You've always disliked him, hence your attitude.

But what's gotten into him?

He used to be silly around you, but he's suddenly being so cold.

Does he have feelings for you?

You know,

maybe he's harassing the girl he likes, like a little kid.

I'm sure he'll stop soon. Don't let it bother you.

I kissed him.

What?

I kissed him.

What did you say?

I kissed Koo Hae-jun.

-You kissed-- -Be quiet.

-Hey! -What?

-Don't tell me-- -No. I didn't.

-Did Mr. Koo-- -No! It's nothing like that.

Stop that thought.

I drank too much.

I was completely wasted and out of my mind.

I mistook him for Sang-uk.

But he doesn't look anything like him!

That's why I said I was out of my mind.

What are you going to do now?

What do you mean? It was nothing.

Shake. It was just like this.

It was nothing.

You…

If you tell anyone, I'll kill you.

-Hi, Hee-sun. -Mr. Kim.

I just met Director Oh Hun.

Director Oh Hun?

Just the two of you? Without telling me?

I'm telling you now.

Right. I guess you exchanged numbers the other day.

But you should contact him through the company from now on.

If you start talking personally, it might become hard to talk business--

I'm doing a soundtrack test tomorrow.

-Tomorrow? -Yes.

That's why I'm calling you. I wanted you to be the first to know.

Oh, I see.

That's great, Hee-sun. Congratulations.

I have to go practice. I'll talk to you later.

All right. Keep it up.

Hello.

Hey.

Why are you still here?

Ms. Chun asked me to check Director Ye's schedule.

She's trying to arrange a meeting with her and Daniel.

All right then.

Hyun-joo.

Can you send me Director Ye's schedule too?

But don't tell Ms. Chun.

Why not?

There's something I want to discuss with her personally.

Actually,

the person who rejected her script

was me, not Daniel.

What?

He doesn't even know she emailed him.

I deleted it without showing him.

Why did you do that?

The script wasn't that good.

And the character was just like Daniel, as if a stalker wrote it.

I rejected it because I thought he shouldn't get involved with her.

Plus, she was a nobody back then.

Then why don't you tell them the truth that you rejected it for the actor's sake?

Daniel may understand,

but Director Ye won't want to work with us once she finds out.

Our company is co-producing the film, and this is my debut as a producer.

But I messed it all up.

I'm sorry.

If things were good between you and your wife,

you'd already be doing what you really wanted to do.

That's not what I meant.

Anyway, I'll talk things out with Director Ye.

Just send me her schedule.

I think I can help.

You didn't have to give me a ride.

Stop saying that. You need your agent with you.

But my agent is Director Ma.

Hello.

I'm here too.

I revised the song a little.

Your voice inspired me.

-Really? -Yes.

This way, please.

Oh, my. Are we going to record here?

That's right.

This is a restricted area.

But I should--

Why don't you go wait at a café?

Call me when you're finished--

It's true.

He said he had no idea and asked me to apologize to you.

Tell him I reject his apology.

I mean…

An actor offered his apology first. That's not easy for an actor to do.

You don't know him well enough,

but he never says what he doesn't mean.

Born in 1979, in Carson City, Michigan, US.

His father is Irish-American and his mother, Korean-American.

He has two dogs named Juliette and Roscoe.

He also had a golden retriever, but Mango died a few years ago.

Despite his physique, basketball is the only sport he's good at.

I used to be a member of his fan club.

I probably know more about him than anyone in Korea.

I've been through a lot before I debuted.

But one day, I saw Daniel Henney in My Lovely Sam Soon.

I didn't think a man like him could exist.

Watching him gave me a goal.

I wanted to make a film starring him.

A film just for him.

And that became Stranger.

So the script found its rightful owner.

No one would understand

how I felt when the love letter I'd written over ten years was torn to pieces.

Anyway,

did he really say he was eager to star in my film?

Yes.

Serves him right.

Tell him I'll invite him to the sneak preview at least.

Okay.

I'll wrap things up then.

You'll be branded as an amateur director into Daniel's memory forever,

but whatever. I'll wrap it up.

Why am I an amateur?

He's trying to apologize to you, but you're not even giving him a chance.

"This director puts her pride before her film."

That's probably what he'll think.

If you're a pro,

you should be able to join hands even with an enemy for your film.

Never mind.

I'll just wrap things up. That'd be best.

Schedule a meeting.

That's a great idea.

I'm not saying I'm casting him.

I just want to meet him.

All right.

The place where you used to be

I am still there

I walk where my heart leads me

The streets were full of flowers

The day you came to me

The day you and I became us

When I look at you

I feel as if spring has come

Every day, with you--

Did I do something wrong?

One moment.

Can you start again from Part B?

Okay.

Come in.

How did it go with Director Ye?

She wants to meet Daniel.

What an amazing combination.

That's a relief.

Then I'll check their schedule and set up a meeting.

Hold on.

What is it?

Why are you so excited about their meeting?

Well, it's just…

The main character in the director's new film

seems just perfect for Daniel.

Also,

it'd be a shame if another actor starred in the film.

It'd be such a shame.

Gosh.

You sound like a real agent now.

I'm proud.

Check their schedules and let me know. You can leave.

Yes, ma'am.

This is bad.

The interviewees for Talent Development Team manager seem so competent.

What do I do?

Why would so many prestigious university graduates

compete for a mere manager position?

I'm so bummed.

Come on. You're still much more experienced than them.

That lady is a theater professor at J University.

She's worked at production companies and has trained many idols.

Even I'd hire her if I were the president. What do I do?

Well?

Do you need my help?

It's time for action, Yoo Eun-soo.

Go crush her!

Hello, Professor.

This is Ms. Kim Hye-yeon.

What did you tell her?

That the girl standing up runs things here.

Hello. Please have a seat.

That she's the secret daughter of the owner.

And I told her to speak as loud as she can

because the girl has bad hearing.

Hello!

Nice to meet you!

Thank you so much

for giving me this great opportunity!

If you hire me, I promise…

-My goodness. -What'll become of her?

-Go, Method! -She's hilarious.

Sure.

I love you!

Good shot.

I loved that script.

I can't help but think

that she might've had me in mind when she was writing it.

So did you see the commercial proposal?

Yeah, I saw that.

Listen, about the movie, I want to do something different.

I really think this could be the one.

Maybe.

So are you going back to the hotel or somewhere else?

Hold on.

What's the matter?

What do you mean?

It's like you're trying to avoid talking about this movie.

Is there something else going on here? Is she trying to cast a different actor or?

Well, I don't know, but I don't think so.

Okay.

Just give me a meeting with her. I'll talk to her face-to-face.

Okay. I'll try.

But I'm not so sure if you'll be able to see her or not before you leave,

because she says she so busy until next week.

All right.

Our guest on Cinema Date today is

Director Ye Min-su of Silly Romance

who recently won a Blue Dragon Film Award for Best New Director.

I heard that

Silly Romance is returning to theaters.

But apparently, some religious groups are against it.

That's right.

Since the movie is about sexual minorities,

I guess it's bound to make some people uncomfortable.

But since I can only make films that deal with topics that interest me,

-so there's not much I can do. -Right.

Then what interests you the most these days?

Animal rights.

I believe animal rights and human rights go hand in hand.

So we should put as much importance on animal rights as human rights.

That's been on my mind these days.

-I see. Then will you be making films -Let's go.

-about animals soon? -Go where?

There. The radio station.

She doesn't want to meet me in person, I'll go there myself

You can't just go there.

-Let's make a call first. -No

We have to go now before the show ends. Let's go.

Come on. Quickly. Let's go.

…the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best New Director.

All right.

-Did you prepare the speech in advance? -Yes, I had…

Daniel is on his way to the radio station to see Director Ye.

What's wrong?

-No. -What happened?

No.

No.

No, wait.

Think, Hyun-joo.

Think. You can do this.

Hold on a second.

Is this the United Religions Association?

HYUN-JOO

Are you gonna answer that?

It's okay. I'll call her later.

CALL ENDED

But I got to go to a restroom first.

Restroom? You just went.

Yeah. Maybe I drank too much water.

It won't be long.

Taxi!

Thank you.

-To Sangam-dong, please. -Okay.

Hello?

When does the radio end?

Her schedule says she's booked until 3 p.m.

So it'll end within 40 minutes.

The problem is, Ms. Chun is there too.

-What should we do? -I'll figure something out.

Try to stall for time.

Take the Gangbyeon Expressway. It's the most congested.

-What are you doing? -I'll drive.

No. You know, Korea is not like the states

Well, it's not a problem. Korea's got the best GPS.

It gives you the fastest route.

This is not good.

Sir, I'll just get out here.

I'd love to hear more about the day you won

the Blue Dragon Film Award for Best New Director.

We say no to homosexual movies!

-We say no! -We say no!

We denounce Director Ye Min-su!

-We denounce her! -We denounce her!

We say no to homosexual movies!

They're protesting against Director Ye's movie.

We denounce…

I don't think meeting her today is a good idea.

You have to stop Director Ye's movie before it comes out, don't you?

I hear she has an interview at the radio station today.

Let's go back now

-We say no to homosexual movies! -Let's try the back door.

-Back door? -Yeah.

We denounce Director Ye Min-su!

-We denounce her! -Where are they going?

We say no…

Going through the back door in ten minutes.

-We say no! -We say no!

We denounce Director Ye Min-su!

-We denounce her! -We denounce her!

We say no to homosexual movies!

-We say no! -We say no!

Darn it.

Damn it.

Three minutes until we're on the floor.

Tae-oh.

You coming?

Okay.

You did great today.

You're such a good talker.

I'm just used to it now.

I guess so.

Ms. Chun!

What are you doing here?

You can't go this way.

-Why not? -There's a protest going on.

-A protest? -Go that way.

-I'm sorry. -What's going on?

-I'll explain later. I'm sorry. -Hold on.

-Hurry up. -Stop pushing me.

-Quickly. -Oh, gosh.

-Please, go. -You want us to walk down?

Please don't ask. There's a problem. For now, you have to go

-Go where? -I'm sorry.

I'll tell you later.

-Can't you be a bit clearer? -No, not now…

Your phone isn't going anywhere.

I haven't heard back from him.

He said he'd let me know right away.

I guess I failed again.

Come on. The test was this morning.

Can you call him and ask him how I did?

Well, he must be very busy right now.

There are many other candidates.

There are other candidates?

Yes.

Even if you don't get cast, think of it as a good experience.

But he's always been like this.

Whenever he's busy, he's impossible to reach.

He has so much to do and so many people to meet.

He has to see his girlfriend now and then too.

What I mean is, you should wait patiently.

All right.

Photoshoots, previews,

volunteering at an animal shelter and so on.

He's fully booked until his departure.

I knew it.

He only pretended to be interested to give me the cold shoulder.

What did I expect? People rarely change.

It's not like that.

-What about early mornings? -I asked,

but he goes jogging every morning.

Okay, fine. I'll give him a call.

I guess he still has to eat.

We'll talk over a meal.

ACTOR DANIEL HENNEY

Let's hear what he has to say. I'm sure he'll make some time.

Don't pick up.

-Daniel, it's Jane. -Oh, hey, Jane.

I'm calling you regarding Director Ye's movie.

She wants to see you before you depart next week.

-How about it? -When did I say that?

Oh, really? I'd love to see her too.

I went to see her at the radio station with Tae-oh, but I must've missed her.

Really? You came to the radio station? We must've missed each other.

He's full of lies.

Does tomorrow morning work for you?

Can we meet at our office?

Yeah, excellent. Let's do that.

All right. I'll decide what time we should meet and call you back.

See you tomorrow.

What happened?

I have no idea.

When I asked him, he said he didn't have time. Why did he…

Okay.

So you'll see him tomorrow.

Good.

Daniel Henney and Director Ye are meeting tomorrow at 11 a.m.

What do I do?

Come in.

Hi, Hee-sun.

These are the résumés of the interviewees.

I feel so bad.

How am I supposed to decide who gets the job and who doesn't?

Thanks.

It's Director Oh Hun!

"I've thought a lot about it, but…

I'VE THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT IT, BUT LET'S DROP THE SOUNDTRACK

…let's drop the soundtrack."

He should at least let you know on the phone, respectfully.

I'm disappointed in him.

Don't let it get to you, Hee-sun.

Hold on.

"Instead, please be in my film as my partner."

"We'll sing the soundtrack together too."

His partner?

What does this mean?

That can't be. I thought the casting was over.

-Let me call him and find out. -Okay.

-Put it on speakerphone. -Wait.

-Hey, Jung-don. -What do you mean by your partner?

I thought the casting was over.

I broke up with her.

You broke up…

You were going out with her?

It's a long story.

But anyway, I guess it was a good thing after all

since I met Hee-sun.

-What's he saying? -Hold on.

Don't you think this is a bit rash?

You haven't seen her acting yet.

But I've seen how she conveys her emotions when she sings.

After all, acting is all about conveying emotions.

And…

I'm beginning to realize what an attractive person she is.

I want to show her charm to the world through my film.

I'm determined to make the most sophisticated, sensual,

and erotic film in the--

Hello?

What the hell?

What did he say?

He broke up with the actress who was going to play the lead.

I think that's why he kicked her out of the movie.

I think you should think carefully…

"You're the heroine of my film. I look forward to working with you."

The heroine?

I'm the heroine?

-Let me see. -I'm the heroine!

He says I'm the heroine of the movie!

Do you have something to say?

Spit it out. What is it?

-That day… -That day?

It was a mistake.

A mistake?

Why did you slap me? You kissed me.

Yes.

Let me make this clear.

I was wasted, and I mistook you for someone else.

A mistake that will never happen again.

It's no big deal. Let's pretend nothing happened.

The interviewee is here.

Ms. Lee Hye-mi?

-Yes. -Nice to meet you.

You've been working as a film festival programmer.

What made you apply for a completely different job?

I don't think it's completely different.

I get to proactively search and develop--

-You came on to me. -Excuse me?

I mistook you for someone else.

Pardon?

Sorry about that.

When it comes to finding new talents,

what do you think is the most important?

Rather than abstract terms such as passion and ambition--

I wanted to win.

-Pardon? -That's why I ended up drinking so much

and couldn't think straight.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

-I quit drinking. -I'm not talking about right now.

You were sober. You had two anti-hangover drinks.

That was after. What's the fuss over a kiss?

It's nothing to fuss over. And I already love someone else.

Who? The tax guy?

Who asked who out?

-Excuse me… -Hey.

How dare you talk about him?

What about kissing? Did you?

Was I first?

Who did you kiss first? When was it?

Should I come back later?

-No. I'm leaving. -You can't do that.

Good luck. You can do this.

Wait. Come back here.

-She kissed him, don't you think? -Sorry?

-Wait. -Where…

Where are you going?

Hey.

What's up? I heard about Hee-sun.

Why do you look so depressed?

You were jumping through hoops to get her a role.

I'm not sure if this movie is really good for her.

I don't like how he described the movie as erotic.

Hun is head over heels for Hee-sun.

What? Do you feel like he's taken her?

You know how he is.

He's attractive. Both as a director and as a man.

Our job is to make people love our actors.

Directors included.

It's a good thing for an actor to be loved by a director, isn't it?

I do know that. You're right.

If you feel this way while knowing that,

there must be another reason.

I'm off.

Gosh.

WIFE DANIEL HENNEY

WIFE (2) YOO EUN-SOO

YOO EUN-SOO

Do I look nervous?

Come on. You already know them. What's the problem?

Just act as usual.

I can't look people in the eye when I'm nervous.

If I make eye contact with Mr. Koo,

I might faint.

Then why don't you look at Sunny,

who will be sitting next to Mr. Koo?

What?

Turn your anger and competitive spirit toward her into confidence.

Crush her.

Go, Jin-hyeok.

So many actors in this world remain unknown

despite their excellent potential and competence.

I'd like to cultivate their talent

and turn them into valuable jewels.

I like your confidence.

In every other aspect as well,

I'm sure I surpass the other applicants.

Beating the competition

is my specialty.

That's why I should become the Talent Development Team…

manager.

I'm sorry.

‎-It's about the fan meet. ‎-Okay.

Excuse me.

-Where are you going? -Sorry?

We're not done yet.

Sit back down. Come on.

How are you planning to find new actors?

What?

Well…

I'm going to visit theater companies in person

to see their performances and…

That's about it.

Will you have time

to fulfill your duties as a manager on top of your existing duties?

Well…

I'm planning to use my personal time for that

since to me, work is…

a hobby.

When do you feel most proud while working?

It's when I find…

When I discover…

people's talents, I think.

Where are you looking?

Look me in the eye.

What?

Are you okay?

What's wrong?

I don't trust

anything anyone says.

You don't have to.

My body…

Sorry.

"My body…"

Should we try again from here?

-Sure. -Okay.

Action.

Whenever I see your eyes,

I go back to being my old self.

Don't believe

that my eyes are telling the truth.

My body

might be telling a lie.

There you are.

What the heck?

What?

Were you rehearsing?

Did I interrupt you?

-My bad. -Jeez.

How did you know I was here?

Hyun-joo told me.

Why didn't you tell me you had a rehearsal?

I could have given you a ride.

Well…

It came up last minute.

Let me know beforehand when there's a rehearsal.

I need to pick Hee-sun up.

I'm not sure.

We might decide to meet at the last minute often from now on.

It's fine. Just let me know.

Make sure someone from the company accompanies you everywhere,

even if it isn't me.

All right then. I'll wait in the car.

Call me when you're done.

This way, please.

Hyun-joo.

-Hello. -Hi.

-Please have a seat and wait here. -Okay.

All right.

‎-Would you like something to drink? ‎-No. I'm okay

‎-Thank you. ‎-Sure. Okay.

Okay.

Why isn't he picking up?

What about Eun-soo?

She's not picking up either.

This is driving me nuts. This is so important.

Hello. Nice to see you.

It's good to see you.

I know you're busy, so I'll keep it short.

No, you don't have to.

We made time, all day, for you.

So, I'm all yours.

You have all of his time for today.

What an honor. Take a seat.

Please introduce yourself.

What?

Isn't this what they do in the US?

I'm doing this the American way for you.

You're right.

But I've never done this in Korea before.

‎Hi. Nice to meet you.

My name is Daniel Henney. I'm from Michigan originally,

but I live in Los Angeles now.

Oh, what else?

6'2. That's 188 cm.

And born in the Year of Sheep.

Okay.

Now, let's see you improv. I'll play opposite you.

An improv?

It's fine.

You mercilessly dumped the woman who loved you.

Four years later, you show up in front of the woman again and apologize.

Whenever you're ready.

Okay. Just give me a minute.

Back then, I was young.

I was stupid.

I made a mistake.

No.

I can't forgive you.

Regret dumping me for the rest of your life.

Go away.

I love you.

I love you more than…

any woman I've loved in my entire life.

Did you think that would make me forgive you?

Should I continue?

It's over.

Apologize.

Why did you do that to me?

-That's enough. -No, I'm not done yet.

Apologize to me!

Okay. Is there...

Is there a problem here?

Is there something... Am I... Do you not want me for this part?

If that's the case then, it's all right.

Do you understand now?

How it feels to be rejected?

Have I done anything wrong to you in the past?

You hurt me.

-You threw away my script in the garbage. -What?

All he did was click the delete button.

Then it goes to the trash can. Isn't that the same thing?

You were my muse.

But you utterly disregarded the first script that I wrote for you.

Compared to how hurt I felt back then,

this is nothing.

Okay. Hold on.

What…

What are you talking about?

I have no idea what you're talking about.

No idea.

-Daniel, that's… -What?

She emailed you the script of Stranger four years ago, right?

Email?

He doesn't even remember it.

-I never got an email. -Liar.

We talked about it. I remember talking about it

but you never sent it to me.

Seriously, I didn't get any email.

It's my fault.

It was back when I had just started working here.

And I was going through the scripts that had been emailed to us.

I thought the script was too difficult,

so I deleted it.

Director Ye.

Director Ye, everything's fine now, isn't it?

Everything's been cleared up.

-The problem has been solved. -"Solved"?

What's been solved?

Your stupid employee throwing away my script?

Me resenting my favorite actor for four years?

Or is it me insulting my favorite actor?

This is the most humiliating day of my life.

Daniel, I'm sorry.

This is disappointing.

You should train your employees better.

What a great company this is.

So, tell Tae-oh...

We're finished.

Daniel.

So Hyun-joo!

So Hyun-joo, come out right now. Explain what happened.

So Hyun-joo!

I know you're in there.

Come out, or I'll knock the door down!

Come out. I'm counting to ten.

One, two…

Director Ma.

There's a problem.

Daniel and Director Ye had a huge fight.

Wake up.

Tell them I went missing.

What are you talking about?

Or just tell them I died.

Wake up.

I don't want to.

Wake up right now!

Hey, Ma Tae-oh.

This isn't the man I love and respect.

I'm sorry. I didn't know there was a meeting

and had my phone turned off.

You didn't go home last night? You haven't changed.

Daniel and Director Ye insist on suing each other.

Method's first co-production project

officially fell through.

Who's responsible?

I'll sort things out.

There's been a misunderstanding, but it can be cleared up.

I'll try to calm down Director Ye.

Director Ma, you talk to Daniel and clear things up.

The real problem is So Hyun-joo.

Why?

She's been acting strange lately.

It seemed like she was trying to stop Director Ye and Daniel

from meeting on purpose.

You know what she said back there?

She said she worked here four years ago

and she's the one who rejected Director Ye's script.

Really? What's going on?

Is she imagining things?

Or could she be a spy sent from another company?

Like Star Media?

You're being absurd.

But something's definitely off. So why should we keep her?

We'll take legal action and fire her.

She's done nothing wrong.

I asked her

to stop Daniel and Director Ye from meeting.

And I'm the one who deleted the script.

So Hyun-joo was trying to take the fall for you?

Why would she do that? What would she gain?

Hyun-joo…

is my daughter.

Your daughter?

Daughter? Your daughter?

What about Eun-gyul?

They have different mothers.

They're half-siblings.

Is that why you hired her?

No, wait.

You're the one who hired her.

You're from Busan?

I live near Haeundae.

What about your parents?

My mom lives in Busan.

And I don't have…

a dad.

And no one knew about it?

Not even you, Je-suk?

You find this funny?

It's all my fault.

I'll take responsibility.

I'll…

resign.

As you wish.

Is it okay for me to still be here?

You have no right to call yourself an agent.

Director Oh Hun's movie is rated XYZ.

How could they do this to me?

Where is my agent? Wang Tae-ja?

Have you ever become forgetful or hazy at all?

I don't know.

He locked himself in the waiting room and hasn't moved an inch.

Je-suk?

Like I lost my way and I'm wandering.

I want to be a respectable boss.

I'm sorry for hurting you.

Please help me, so I don't have any slip-ups until the end.

Sir!
