Stop.

Who's this then?
Long time, Chaeyong.

Why are you doing this?

Listen to you. You forget
how this guy sucker-punched me?

I'm just returning the favor.

I'll apologize for him.
Please stop.

Why? What's he to you?

- Stop, stop!
- What's he to you?

Mr. No, please...

Mr. Ko, let me talk to her.

Make it good.
I'm not through here.

Chaeyong, a word.

I don't get you.

Scampering off to tour with Shin...

refusing to come back
to Seoul with me.

Was it all for
this turd Kitae here?

You know how shocked I was
to hear he went to your place?

I can't believe you.

After all I've invested in you.

You think I'll let Kitae
ruin my investment?

Keep this up...

and I'll be forced to protect
my investment at Kitae's expense.

Not just me, either.
Mr. Ko, too.

You know better than me
what kind of trash Ko is.

He'll end Kitae right here
for what he did.

Only you...

...can stop this.

Think it over.

How about that long-overdue drink
with Chaeyong?

Shall we?

She's waiting outside. Please.

Usually I'd have my boys
dump your body in Mt. Chonggye.

So count yourself lucky.

Hey...

You'd better dump my body now.

Or you'll regret it.

You little...

Forget him.

He's barely potty-trained.
It's all talk.

Don't let him get to you.

You go on.
I'll catch you up.

I don't like it...

Not too bright, are you?

You may not know
what's going on...

...but get this through your head.

Stay away from Chaeyong.

If you don't, I swear I'll--

Get him!

Where is he?

No one looking for me?

You kidding?

Phone calls, in person,
you name it.

- Just now--
- I know, I saw them.

It will be worse
when they find you, I can tell.

Madame Kim,
can you front me five bucks?

I wish I could,
but I can't extend any credit.

The owner would have my hide.

Talk to Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang? Who's that?

Yang Taesong.

Taesong's here?

Hey, Taesong.

Shin. I heard about the loan sharks. What are you doing here?

You can only die once.
What about you?

I'm meeting Kang Kitae.
Life really worked him over.

How so?

He got the shaft
so I'm offering some advice.

What kind of advice?

You know why
his family went bankrupt?

Stumbling around like a baby
out of his trainers...

and he has no idea...

No idea of what?

You don't need to know.

Taesong...

You mind floating me some cash?
Just five bucks.

C'mon, let's go.
Kitae won't show.

Drinks are on me.

But I need cash.

You'll get it. I'll give you cash...
and an interesting story.

Come on.

You don't know who betrayed your family and ruined your life, do you?

What are you getting at?

I can't hold it in anymore.
Life really worked you over.

Madame Yun,
want to hear something funny?

What?

This girl has been
to Gungjeong before.

But Mr. Cha here sent her away.

Whatever for?

It's really quite droll.

He said she didn't compare
to the other girls.

They must have been stunning.

The starlets Yun Jonghi,
Munhi, Nam Jongim, perhaps?

No, but...

He doesn't know
the first thing about women.

Now about you.

Student?

A singer.

Singer?

Yes, a stage singer.

Charming.

You know
"The Ruins of Fort Hwang"?

I've heard of it.
I learn fast.

Practice that and some
Lee Mija tunes for next week.

The older gentleman will like that.

And the other?

Other?

Shall she provide full service?

Oh, who knows what
the gentleman will want?

Surely you have some idea,
being a gentleman yourself.

If it were me...

Oh, yes.

What... does that mean?

What?

"Full service."

You really don't know?

If it means what I think,
then no.

No what?

- I'm not here for that.
- Then why are you here?

You're a strange one.

Excuse us a minute.

Now, then...

Why are you here?

When I was first asked to Gungjeong,
I was told it was to sing.

I needed the work so I went.

When I learned the kind of men
that are there...

I was shocked.

The thought of a no-name like me singing there made me quite nervous.

Then why come back?

No one forced you.

I thought it might be
a great opportunity...

Singing for such
important men, I mean.

You want your shot at success?

Yes, to be honest, I do.

Let's do this.
You entertain the gentleman...

and you'll get your shot.

Deal?

Answer me.

This is your moment.
Everything will change.

Well?

I had no idea what really
went on there. I'm sorry.

No.

If you won't, you won't.

- Cha Suhyok.
- Sir.

Escort the lady out.

Sir.

Little fool. Walking away
from your one shot.

You know what's even funnier?

You came here by choice,
but you can't leave as easily.

You've caught Mr. Jang's eye.

You'll soon learn just how persistent
and frightening he can be.

Let me off here.

Curfew.

I'll drive you home.

Let me out.

I understand why
you sent me away that night.

Now sitting here is just...
awkward.

But I appreciate your concern.

Why didn't you listen when I told you
it's not that kind of place?

I had no idea what you meant.

I had no idea respectable men
carried on that way.

They're men.
It's their nature.

Now you know.

Don't ever come back.

Why do you work for them?

What are you doing working
for those dirty old men?

Chaeyong.

I'm feeling generous tonight.

Anything you want, you got.

Mink? Diamonds?

A car, maybe?

No. I've got all that.

- You...
- Mr. No.

Shut the mouth.

This is what I like about her.

Coy, hard-to-get.

Sing for us.

♪ He wears a yellow shirt ♪

♪ He doesn't talk much ♪

♪ But I love him ♪

♪ Oh, yes I do ♪

Wiping that little snot's bottom...

All for money, lousy money.

Yang Taesong and Shin Jonggu
are in the next room.

What?

Shall I get the boys?

For a pair of rats?
Who needs 'em?

You know who got No Sangtaek out
and closed down your show?

Who?

Jang Cholhwan.

The Assemblyman?

How do you know him?

We've met before.

We closed at the Sunyang Theater
when he threatened to lock me up.

He's at the Blue House now.

The Blue House?

The power of powers.

And he's backing No Sangtaek.

How did Sangtaek land
a backer like that?

Jang Cholhwan is interested
in the film and music industries.

He wants a hand in show business

and he knows
Sangtaek has the juice.

I'm at death's door here
and he just gets luckier and luckier.

Surprised?

I'm the one that
should be embarrassed.

You little rats.

Did you think
you could hide forever?

Hide?
Who was hiding?

I'm not scared of nobody.

Even a cornered rat
can bare his fangs.

You going to snap at me?

Jonggu.

Uh-huh.

You've had it rough.

I told you and told you...

Why wouldn't you listen?

Grab that bottle.

Uh-huh.

Pour yourself a drink.

Drink it.

Now get out.

Don't let me see you again.

Okay, old friend.
Bye.

Now, shall we party?

Have mercy.

If I show you mercy now...

you'll nip my heel later.

If I don't end you here
I'll regret it.

I'm sorry, sir!

You.

Halt!

Will this day never end?

I was sure he went down here
but he's gone.

It's a dead-end.
Where could he go?

Take a look.

Hey. Got you.
Come on.

Come on, you.

Move it.

What happened to you?

You know, this and that.

Let's see some ID.

Ah, well,
I left it at home.

Hey, buddy, some things you leave,
some you don't.

You know it's curfew?

This is really unfair.

My house is right here.

Unfair or not,
it's the law.

Let's go to the station.

- Wait.
- Huh?

Just my luck, I swear.

What do two grunts
know about the law?

Hey, you know who my friend is?

He works at the Blue House.

Mess with me
and he'll strip you bare.

I never met a curfew-breaker...

that didn't have a friend on the paper, the DA's office or the Blue House.

Go ahead, strip me.

Just give me a break.

Enough. Let's go.

Come on.

- Ouch.
- Move it.

Yes.

Yes, right. Goodbye.

This guy here.

No ID and
we didn't like the look of him.

And he claims to have a friend
at the Blue House.

I swear...

Why don't we call and find out?

Go ahead.
Here's the phone.

Well, it's kind of late.

What happened to you?
A fight?

No. Just unlucky, I guess.

Employer?

The Bitnara Show.
I'm in the troupe.

A show?
You a singer?

Well... Not that so much...

It's hard to describe.

Pretty suspicious.

What do you do?

He's with the Bitnara Show.

Jonghye.

I can attest to that. He's all right.

Your face.
Shouldn't you see a doctor?

Ah, it's nothing.

But what about you?

I was late getting home is all.

Uh-huh.

Yak-yak-yak, go on, scoot.

What are you thinking?

Just how awful life can be.

I dreamed the impossible
and came up wanting.

I feel pretty silly.

Did you forget what I said?

When I'm a producer
I'll make you a star.

That's quite a talent, Mr. Kang.

What?

When you're joking you seem sincere.

When you're bluffing you seem sincere.

That's not talent. I really mean it.

You can count on me.

Okay.

Oh, and forget "Mr. Kang."

Call me "Kitae."

- Well.
- Well.

You hungry?

Maybe we can get some hangover soup?

I'd love it.

Welcome.

Two hangover soups.

- In advance. Twenty cents.
- Huh?

Here.

I should pay.

Forget it.

All these people up with the dawn,
eating, working so hard...

It's amazing.

They have to go to work
when curfew is lifted.

I was the same when I came to Seoul.

Where did you work?

At a record company.

A lot of big hits
went through my hands.

Like Nam Jin's "Love Hurts."

♪ You and me ♪
♪ if not for the sea ♪

♪ this separation would never be ♪

Very good.

You know you have a talent, too.

What's that?

I don't know why, but you have a knack for making me want to help you.

That's why I made your appearance
in Sunyang a condition in the contract.

Cause I'm so pitiful.

No, no, that's not it.

Shh, shh. My mom?

She went to Sunyang yesterday.

Sunyang? Why?

The Yankee lady called.

Oh.
A Yang Taesong hasn't called?

Yes. He hasn't.

Okay, fine.

This the teahouse?
It's Kang Kitae.

You remember me?

Was Yang Taesong there last night?

For a while.

Did he leave a message for me?

No.

I'm hitting the sack.
Don't wake me.

Yes, sir.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Nothing, ri-i-ight.

Still fighting at your age?

Sheesh, I said it's nothing.

You just worry about yourself.

I swear.

Usually I'd have my boys dump
your body in Mt. Chonggye.

So count yourself lucky.

Ugh.

- Going out?
- Yeah, I can't sleep.

- Take any messages.
- Yes, sir.

Sunae. Hey there.

Something wrong?

No, I just thought we'd have a drink.

At this hour?
How many?

A few.

Something's wrong.

I'm lonely.

Who are you talking to here?

If loneliness killed,
I'd have frozen to death long ago.

Mr. Shin?

I don't know.
He's in hiding.

He hasn't called you?

He'd rather die than call
when he's in trouble.

Now you've got me pouting, too.

Neither of us is very realistic in love.

So we're lonely.

What did Yang say?

Something about a secret behind
what happened to my family.

That I was betrayed.
That life stinks.

I had my own suspicions.
But you can't trust Yang.

Still, I want to hear him out.

He's here.

Did you find out?

I worked with Seven Stars MC
back in the day.

He and I had a little chat.

Mr. Ko is Yu Chaeyong's sponsor.

Sponsor?

Her backer, you know.

You've heard of HanChang Trading?

He's the owner's only son
and one of seven department heads.

And a worse scum
you've never seen.

Thanks.

No need between friends.

Let's go.

Where to?

C'mon.

- Where we going?
- Can't you tell?

It's not just my face.
My whole body is like this.

Dept. Head or not,
I'm paying this Ko guy back.

I'd just as soon
you took it out on me.

What?

What's that mean?
Out of my way.

He's the only son of Hanchang Trading.

And he's with Sangtaek,
who made such a fool of Shin.

You messed with them
and look what it got you.

Pay back what exactly?

If you do this,
why did we bother moving up to Seoul?

How long are you
going to go your own way?

Sorry about that.

No, you're right.

I'm not too bright.

Maybe a little discretion?

Put up with what we can,
avoid them when we can.

We pretty much have to.

If I could
I wouldn't be in this mess.

Anyway, I hear what you're saying,
don't worry.

You two go find Shin Jonggu.

Okay.

Welcome.

Hello.

It's Miss Kim.

- Come in. Tea.
- Sir.

Nice office.

We try to keep up appearances.

Bring Mr. Jang to our opening
in two days.

I hope I can count on you
in the future.

Of course.

Things keep going your way.

I envy you.

How do you mean?

You know what they have me do.

Hey, it's just temporary.

Actually, I envy you.

You may not know it,
but in your position,

with Mr. Jang behind you,
you've got incredible pull.

If I were you,
I'd use that power to help myself.

You can do anything in your position.

Come in.

Per your instructions.

Well done.
Oh, introductions.

Mr. Cha, an aide at the Blue House.

We'll be doing a lot of work for him.

Lee Sangdu, sir.

That's all.

Do you know Yang Taesong?

Yes, why?

He's been checking up on you.

What?

About you and Mulyong and Mansu. Even your association with Mr. Jang.

Tell Mansu to keep his mouth shut.

Sir.

Yes. Hold on.

Sir, Mr. Jo Myongguk.

Ah, sir... I mean, Mr. Jo.

To what do I owe the honor?

Yes. I understand.

If I were you,
I'd use that power to help myself.

You can do anything in your position.

Wait here.

A phone call, a meeting,
I don't know what to do with myself.

Don't grovel. It's disgusting.

What did you want?

You've been checking up on me?
What are you up to?

You misunderstand me.

I'm not checking up on you,
I'm trying to learn about you.

We're going to be business partners.

Doesn't it make sense
that I learn about you?

And what did you learn?

That poor pitiful Kang Kitae
has no idea what you did to him.

You have a death wish?

Mr. Jo, threats don't really work on me.

Me, I get what I can,
while I can.

Such as?

Such as?

Well...

Kitae.

Kitae, we found Shin Jonggu.

- Where is he?
- Hiding at Subong's place.

I swear.

Let's go.

Argh!

No, no, no!

How did you find me?

Listen to you.
Like that matters now?

Subong's gone.
You hiding here alone like a baby?

He's looking for work.

Come on. We'll go eat.

Got any money?

Enough for ramen.

Easy, easy, easy!

Blech, ramen without kimchi.

Like a bachelor makes kimchi?

Eat.

What now?
Is the Bitnara Show through?

I've made a lot of
comebacks in my life.

But not this time.
I'm tired.

Life is scary.
People are scarier.

You're really paying for
what you did to No Sangtaek.

So how are you going
to pay Kitae back?

I'm busted, do what you want.

Take the show,
my manager's license, everything.

You'll give me the Bitnara Show
and your license?

I'm sick of it.
Take it all.

What does that give you?
Money? Food?

Aren't you just taking on his troubles?

Kitae, tell us what you're thinking.

I don't know yet.

You'll give me the Bitnara Show
and your license?

I'm sick of it.
Take it all.

In playing this, see....
Have you seen "From Here to Eternity"?

No.

If you want to act, you have to.

See it when you can.

- 'kay.
- Sooo cute.

In the film, Burt Lancaster
and Deborah Kerr are having an affair.

Imagine a warm, lonely beach in Hawaii, just the two of them.

Lying together in the white sand,
the surf washing over them.

Let's try it. This is sand.
Very natural, okay.

Right....
"Oh, Deborah."

Then, boom, their eyes meet.

Burt Lancaster's eyes are on fire.

Deborah Kerr's eyes succumb to him.

No, no, no, no.

As though you can't wait to kiss me.

- Like this?
- Right...

Then... kiss...

Cut.

Cut!

At it again?

Nicely done.

That's all for today.
I'll call you.

- 'kay.
- Okay.

She'll be big.

I heard you're directing, casting
and starring in your own movie?

Explain.

Well, I'm thinking about it.

Is that so?
And what about the Hong Kong movie?

Oh, that. Maybe later.

This is the chance of a lifetime.

I've got Pak Noshik
and Jang Donghui on board.

Haven't you seen
actors destroy movies?

Kim Jingyu directed "Yi Sunshin."
It tanked.

Choi Muryong, "Na Ungyu," tanked.

This one can't fail.

The treatment is perfect.

In all my years as an actor
I've never seen a screenplay like this.

I swear.

Someone to see you.

Who?

Cha Suhyok from the Blue House.

What?
Songwon, we'll talk later.

Wha--?

I told you to watch the door.

I was just about to cop a feel, too.

I'm sorry to barge in on you like this.

Oh, not at all.

I'm sorry I haven't called on you
before this.

When may I call on Mr. Jang..?

You can meet him at the opening
of Jo Myongguk's film studio.

I'll fit you into his schedule.

I'd appreciate it.

I'd like to ask a personal favor.

Is that all right?

Yes, anything.

There's an unknown singer
I'd like you to meet and help if you can.

You're famous for spotting
and cultivating talent.

I wouldn't say that.

Anyway, I'll do all I can, of course.

I know her.
From the Bitnara Show?

Right. Lee Jonghye.

May I ask how you--?

That's neither here nor there.

Of course.

- Eat, eat.
- Yummy.

So your show manager is on the run from loan sharks?

So it seems.

So what will you do?

C'mon, I'm losing my appetite here.

I have to find something.

You haven't helped with rent
and such for... ahem... three months.

Yeah, yeah, don't be a nag.

Nag THIS!

I had to say something.

Oh, that Kang Ki-whatever's mom,
the Sunyang lady.

Mm.

She's opening a restaurant
across from the market.

From the richest family
in Sunyang to this...

Tsk-tsk-tsk.

You went to Sunyang?

Mm-hm.

You hate it there.
Why did you go?

I just did.

Sit a minute.

Geumnye, do you have any money?

How much?

$30K.

Where would I find
that kind of money?

I'm saving for the deposit
on the restaurant.

Is something wrong?

No.

Darling, what should I do..?
What should I..?

- Nanny.
- It's been so long, Miss.

- What brings you here?
- I called on your mother.

Where is she?

Inside,
but I think something's wrong.

You should go in.

All right.

Are you crying?

Who's crying?

You are. What is it?

Myonghi, I can't face you.
I can't, I just can't.

Mom, what is it?

Mr. Jo is opening his studio tomorrow.
Will you be attending?

- Of course.
- I'll adjust your schedule.

Ah, that Lee Jonghye girl.

I want you to keep an eye on her.

She declined your invitation.
So why..?

Oh, there's something about her.
I'm interested in her.

Why, does that seem strange to you?

Ah, no, sir.

Hello.

What brings you here?

Mr. No sent for me.

Why?

I'm not sure...

He'll be right back. Sit.

Thank you.

Our meeting again is fate.

I've got an eye for these things.
You're destined for films.

Want to make one with me?

I haven't really...

You're here?
Sit, sit.

- Sit.
- Thank you.

Join Seven Stars.

Huh?

Work for me.

I'm with the Bitnara Show.

Bitnara? They're through.

You start rehearsals here next week. Dancing, singing.

Forget everything Shin taught you.

Why don't you answer? No?

No... I need some time...

You a top star now?

You're grasping
and I'm offering you straw.

Take it.

Baby, what's to think about?
Say, "Yes."

Get in touch with the troupe.

What for?

I'm taking over the show
and Shin's license

in lieu of what he owes me.

So I'll take those members
that will work with me...

and start in the small theaters.

Can you do that
with no experience?

I'm going to try.

Kitae!

I'm back.

And? You get the money?

We'll have it in a month.

Won't it kill your mother
if she finds out?

Then we'd better succeed.

First, let's get a drink to celebrate.

Have you heard from Yang Taesong?

No. He doesn't come to the teahouse and he hasn't called.

Then what was
that phone call about?

Any news from Sunyang?

Mansu is expanding
from Mulyong to Sunyang.

Wasn't he with Myongguk
at the House of Clouds?

Uh-huh.

Oh, and Myongguk's opening
a film studio in Seoul.

What? A studio?

Yes. Today's the open house.

Mansu moves in on Sunyang.

And suddenly Myongguk opens a studio.

Doesn't that seem strange?

Hello.

- Choi Songwon.
- Hey, there.

You made it.

Long time, Songwon.

What are you doing here?

Hm? I'm with Mrs. Yun.

The infamous Mrs. Yun?

Shh.

Enjoy.

Thank you for coming.

Ah, thank you.

I look forward to working with you. Please.

- Congratulations.
- Thank you.

Hey, Yang Taesong.

Why haven't you called?
