Original subtitles

Woo Seung.

Hi, Ji Hoon.

Is it because you're an intern? You finished work early.

It's just for today.

Were you waiting for me?

Yes, to remind you of our promise.

- Promise? - You should treat me to a movie.

I have a movie that I want to watch.

So you're joining your dad's company?

I think it'll be better than other companies.

My dad is taking a break now,

but he was a famous manager once.

But then again, I heard he was amazing when he was J2's manager.

What?

Come to think of it, it's been a while since I saw you like this.

Gosh, there you go again with making me have goosebumps!

It's fine to do that once in a while.

Well, I guess it's been forever...

since we laughed and talked.

Do you want popcorn?

Caramel-flavored popcorn with Sprite.

My friend,

sometimes it seems like you know me better than I do.

- I'll go with you. - It's okay. You bought the tickets.

I'll be quick.

Stay here.

The last scene was unbelievable.

How did they think of this story?

Movies with good ratings from actual people are the good ones.

Right?

About Mr. Thumbs Up.

What?

How do you feel about him?

Do you like him?

I'm not sure...

I think I might like him.

What if...

we weren't friends to begin with?

What?

What if we didn't meet as childhood friends,

but what if we met like you and Mr. Thumbs Up,

in a coincidence after another coincidence,

in an odd circumstance...

like we were in a movie?

If we had, do you think...

things would have been different for us?

I really regret...

having met you as a friend.

(World Entertainment)

(Warehouse Daily Work Journal)

You always get a large iced caramel macchiato with a shot, right?

My goodness.

Hey, it seems like you're the one who belong here than me.

I always put in my best effort...

no matter what it is or where I am.

You never put in any efforts.

How's work?

I am almost finished getting investors involved.

Who are the investors?

Half of it will be from Chairwoman Cathy.

And the other half will be from Chairwoman Oh from Jongno.

Chairwoman Cathy? Is that the Cathy I know?

- Are you sure it's okay? - I already looked into it.

Don't worry.

Does this mean you overcame the biggest problem?

But the music is the most important.

You already overcame that the moment you asked me for a song.

So when do you think the song will be ready?

- I'm almost done. - I expect it to be great.

It is absolutely great.

It's my song. Who do you think it'll take after?

It's just like me, so it's really sleek.

Right, did you ask Young Jae...

to pay off our debt?

It's me, Hyun Jae.

Did you ever see me ask anyone for something?

I demanded it.

That was unnecessary.

Why was that unnecessary?

If you think about it, his money is ours.

Why is that ours? That's Young Jae's money.

There's something you don't know. Anyway, it's fine.

Young Jae can still give us more than what he gave.

My goodness.

How do you always make things so simple?

What's to be complicated?

So did you agree to debut Ji Hoon?

I'm going to give this a try.

In that case, you helped both me...

and Ji Hoon debut.

One of them was the biggest mistake of my life,

and the other one will be the best hit of my life.

Listen to yourself.

Anyway, about me.

No matter how hard I think about this,

there's only one person responsible for my disappearance.

The one person who benefited the most...

after my disappearance.

Who is that?

Come on, don't jump to a conclusion.

I'm not jumping to a conclusion.

It's Young Jae.

(CEO Park Young Jae)

I got it. Call Chairwoman Oh.

Yes.

Hey, honey.

I heard you agreed to invest in Gwang Jae's agency.

You can't do that.

Do you know how hard things are for us?

We need a lump sum to resign MJ with us soon.

I'm going to tell him that it won't happen.

Okay, I'll forget about Bo Hee.

This means we're even.

Chairwoman Oh of Jongno is on the line.

Goodness, Chairwoman Oh. Yes.

I haven't checked in on you for a while.

Anyway, I'm calling today...

because I have a great investment opportunity.

I'm telling only you and no one else.

We're going to release MJ's next album...

in hand with an agency in the US.

Is your investment in World Entertainment a fixed deal?

If it's not a fixed deal, you should join us.

Yes, of course.

Mr. Thumbs Up.

Is it just you in here?

I think so.

Why? Who are you here for?

Producer Yoon asked me to bring this here.

Oh, I see.

Right, Part-timer.

Did you say you were in a band?

Oh, right. It was ages ago...

and only for a short while.

That means you can read music.

Can you sing the guide track?

What? Me?

Can you? It's in women's key, so it's too high for me.

Come on, no way.

No.

You can use the headphones there.

These?

Put those on.

Part-timer, you look like a real singer standing there.

Stop making fun of me.

Can you hear the music?

- What? - Put those back on.

What did you say?

Don't be nervous. You can relax.

I'm not nervous.

Does an intern have to do this?

Let's begin.

I wrote this song...

thinking about you.

What?

I thought about you while writing this song.

What did you say? Can you...

I wrote this song thinking about you.

Thinking about you.

- Bye. - Goodbye.

- Drill. - Oh, my.

What are you doing here?

How did you know I was here?

Did you get a job?

No. It's just a part-time job.

What about the agency?

You aren't there anymore, so I have no reason to be there.

I quit too.

So what's going on? Be honest.

Hey.

They kicked me out.

I did my best.

- You did a great job. - Ji Hoon.

Okay.

(Lee Ji Hoon, World Entertainment)

I think this is awesome.

Why am I so awesome?

Goodness.

I'm hungry.

(World Entertainment)

I'm starving.

(World Entertainment)

(World Entertainment)

Here it is.

So this is what he's been working on, is it?

Yes, sir. I swapped it with the original.

Make our guys tweak it a little bit.

It'll be MJ's title song.

Will it be okay?

We'll release the song first.

We're a bigger company, and MJ's the top singer.

People will think they copied us.

Plus they won't even have the money to produce an album.

How can you do this?

Someone I know introduced me to this job.

The work is hard, but I get paid well.

Why did the agency let you go?

I'm old, so I guess I'm useless to them.

I'll keep this job, but I'll perform...

whenever I get a chance.

Do you believe in me?

Hey. Of course.

Then let's do it one more time.

Did Ssen Entertainment contact you?

- No. Not Ssen. - Then which one?

World Entertainment.

World Entertainment?

Your dad's company? Helter-Skelter's agency?

Anyway. Just trust me.

You can't lie to me anymore though.

Come on. Why would I lie to you?

Salute!

Fancy meeting you here, sir.

Pardon?

I think you got the wrong person.

I bumped into Marine Oh.

He said he'd buy me coffee.

He just went to the bathroom. Here he comes.

Salute!

Salute. Do you live around here, Marine Lee?

Yes, sir.

You're with your friend. Relax.

- Yes, sir. - How are you?

Once a marine...

Always a marine!

- I'll be off. - Yes, sir.

Marines...

never die.

Marines just do not return.

Well...

Last summer I went to a marine corps camp.

I met...

Did you lie to me about your age?

Hey.

When did you do your military service?

You're amazing.

I'm sorry.

Woo Seung, did you decide?

Will you really move in?

Pardon? Yes.

They want you to move in as soon as possible.

What do you say?

(World Entertainment)

What's all this?

Let's all have a barbecue together.

A barbecue? That sounds great.

Did you prepare all this?

Yes, I thought I'd treat you.

Gosh. I'm starving. This is perfect.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Nice. - Delicious.

- There. - Great.

- It's delicious. - Stop it.

Give it to me.

- Mine. - Goodness.

Have some meat.

Garlic is good for you.

Loser will eat this.

- Rock-paper-scissors. - Rock-paper-scissors.

It's hot.

That smells.

This is too hot.

I'm so happy.

Someday...

tonight will be remembered as a long time ago.

I think so.

Why is everyone so serious all of a sudden?

Should we take a picture?

- A picture? - To remember the night.

Okay.

Here I go.

- Hurry up. - Quickly.

- Legs up. - Hurry.

- Power Rangers! - Power Rangers!

- Hurry up. - Okay.

What are you doing? Aren't you going to bed?

I will.

There's something I need to tell you.

What?

Tomorrow...

I'm...

moving out.

So I'm saying goodbye to this hammock.

I thought I was going to be kicked out on the street,

but thanks to you I had a great place to stay.

Is it because of me?

Yes, it's because of you.

I feel bad living off you.

I don't mind you staying longer.

I know. But I found a place at a great price.

I'm getting paid soon too.

Is the place far?

No. It's near here.

Is that right? Then I'll help you move.

There isn't anything to move. I only have one bag.

Thanks for everything,

Ji Hoon.

Come back any time.

How is it? What do you think?

Is it old-fashioned?

Not at all.

I'm telling you. This will make it.

I was worried that you wouldn't like it.

We'll get investments with this song and make an album.

Just tell me if you need anything else.

Don't get upset this time.

When did I get upset?

Once you left me after you got upset,

I was really bored.

You were my only friend after all.

If you like the song,

buy me a triangular gimbap.

You're such a weirdo. I'm sure about that.

You're still the same 20 years ago and now.

My gosh.

- Let's go. - What?

How do you feel about it?

- It feels great. - Really?

Hey, look at that.

Soon after a while,

Ji Hoon will be famous like him.

Who's that?

He's handsome.

Anyway, he'll soon become like him.

Hey, it's the first time...

I like your comment ever since you came here.

Do you want one more of that triangular gimbap?

Are you buying me one more?

Go get it one more for free.

I saw it and it's 2 for 1.

What are you doing?

What?

It's interesting. What is that?

I'm printing out some pictures.

It's good to share them together, right?

Are you looking for someone?

No.

Has the executive producer gone somewhere?

He was here in the morning...

and stepped out after.

Do you know where he went?

I don't know.

He left work for today.

My goodness.

Gosh, this is so fascinating.

I look good in this picture.

I look cute.

The person you're calling isn't available...

What's the matter with him?

I was going to ask him to clean the house with me.

Where on earth did he go?

He's not answering either.

I locked the door when I left for work.

You!

You thief!

Goodness!

Hey, Mr. Thumbs Up!

Are you okay?

Oh, no.

Why did you come in my house secretly?

You slap me with a frying pan whenever you see me.

Gosh, seriously.

What brings you here?

I heard you rented a house from your colleague, so I asked where it is.

I wanted to come here early and clean the house for you.

What?

Did you leave work early today...

and clean here?

Forget it.

I'm not a person to brag about doing something like this.

I wiped the floor several times.

The blinds were a mess,

so I installed them all again.

The mattress too.

The bathroom was so dirty too.

It's so clean that it even shines now.

Mr. Thumbs Up, that's so kind of you.

What shall I do it in return?

How about you cook for me?

All right, eat before you go.

Gosh, I've had a proper meal after a long time.

What do you mean, a proper meal?

It's been a while...

since I last had such a meal like this.

It's not my story,

but my friend's story.

His parents passed away when he was young.

They had been always busy,

and they died in a car accident...

when he was in middle school.

So he lived alone ever since.

He had no friends because of his hot temper.

His only hobby was to listen to music.

He listened to music like crazy.

He didn't want to go to college,

and he wanted to do something related to music.

So he visited an entertainment company.

That company was closest to his house.

He did whatever he wanted to do.

But...

he was still lonely.

He was always all alone.

He dated girls easily.

He broke up with them easily too.

And...

he caused all kinds of mess to people around him.

So...

is he still living the same way?

- He? - Yes.

Fortunately, he isn't lonely anymore.

He gets to have a nice meal too.

Visit me often.

I can cook you this much.

Why would you say often? It's upsetting.

What's there to be upset?

I'll come in and out of season, so be prepared.

- With whose permission? - My permission.

Part-timer, what's wrong?

Nothing.

What is it?

I just feel happy nowadays.

You're happy, so why?

I always had trouble...

followed by happy moments.

I, Mr. Thumbs Up,

used to be called troubleshooter.

Don't worry about it at all.

What's this? He's so silly.

My goodness.

I'm sure she would be cracking up by now.

Gosh, I should have taken a picture of Part-timer too.

Woo Seung.

Hello.

I left a few books here.

I see. Go on. The boys are there too.

(World Entertainment)

I heard you're debuting with World Entertainment.

- How did you know? - What?

Well, I heard it from here and there.

I'm like a half-time employee at World Entertainment.

Anyway, good luck. I know you'll do well.

The music is great, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

What are you talking about?

What? Oh, nothing.

I know that you are Hyun Jae.

But I want to make one thing clear.

I only have one dad, and he's the CEO of World Entertainment.

So I hope you will stop minding my business.

Goodness, what are all these? Why didn't he organize them?

My goodness.

Why are these things here?

Why didn't he just throw these away?

My gosh.

Let's see.

(From Yoo Hyun Jae, To Lee Soon Tae)

(We thank Lee Ju Shil and Semmi for their special appearance.)

(The Best Hit)

I'll give you this. Instead, let me ask you for a favor.

MJ has a month left in his contract, and you need to let him go now.

I've given this some thought,

and what do you think about debuting as a male duet?

Hoon's Drill. What do you think?

I'm not the type who can lie.

You look pretty.

Why do I have to go camping with you?

Just do as you are told.

I recently signed with a new artist.

I'm sorry. I only found out later that I shouldn't have done that.

But I'm thankful I can say sorry to you face to face.
