[Episode 27]

Bitnara Productions has been
signing top stars recently.

I happen to know a lot of them
smoke pot.

Do this right and we'll be rid of
Kang Kitae in one shot.

Kang Kitae, yes. Thanks to marijuana...

the whole country will be screaming.

You asked for us?

Ah, you know who smokes pot
in the industry, don't you?

Sure. Quite a few are in Seven Stars.

Like Elvis.

I want a list of all the potheads.

At Atlantic, SJC, even Bitnara.

But why do you want to know?

My hidden card to finish Kang Kitae.

- Sir.
- Brother, it's been too long.

I heard you were hurt. You okay now?

Forget about it, I'm fine.

I confess I'm a little embarrassed.

Not at all.

Anything I can do, just say the word.
Anything.

No, this is my business.

I won't bother you with it.

I've fought hard to get where I am today.

This is nothing, don't worry about it.

Now, about that drink?

Yes, sir.

Mmm. That's good.

Thanks for tonight, brother.
See you soon.

Now that's class right there.

That Mr. Han plays hardball.

Maybe so, but it won't be easy getting
his own back from Jo Taesu.

Loyalty is great and all,
but don't be stupid.

Nothing good can come from messing
with a turf war.

Your eyes are nice, your lovin', too

I'm fallin' for you

I'm lookin' for someone to love,
someone like you

The more I see, the more I'm missin' you

That Hyebin is sure something.

She can really work the night crowd.

Welcome.

Good night?

Yep. Nice crowd and
our singers are top-notch.

The business manager says
it's no problem to extend the contract.

- Well done.
- Aw, shucks.

Hey, Mr. Kang.

What do you want?

Just checking on our artistes.

They're good, Bitnara. Especially her.

Very good.

Thanks for saying so.

Word on the street is I bowed before you
and called you sir.

Not a nice thing to hear.

No one heard it from me.

But if you like, shall I call
a press conference to clear it up?

Enough chit-chat.

I'm better now. Want another go?

Yeah, right, what kind of talk is that?

Only kids fight for no reason.

If you like our acts, we play the Hanyang.

If you don't, you let us go.

Let's keep this strictly business.

You're...a strange one.

I meant to kill you...

But you're growing on me.

I don't know...

But I get that a lot.

Oh, Mr. Han.

Jo Myongguk here.

Can you spare me a minute?

What did you call about?

I need a reason to see my
favorite reporter?

Just a drink, that's all.

C'mon, enough stalling.

I don't care about all that.
If you want a deal, let's hear it.

That's what I like about you.

Heavy hitters. And a big story.

What's the rest of it?

You've heard of Bitnara Productions'
Kang Kitae?

Of course.

A star in the entertainment industry.

A rare feat for a man that's not a singer
or an actor.

What about him?

What do you want?

A word, if I may.

No. I said all I have to say.

Please. Just a word, please.

I believe I made myself clear.

If you keep hanging on, you'll get hurt.

What else is there to say?

I realize going to Kungjeong was
one of the worst mistakes of my life.

But I was a singer then and
I really thought that's what they wanted.

I had no idea what went on there.

Kitae knows everything.

And he understands.

Kitae? Of course he understands,
he's fallen for you.

You're just making this worse.

What, singers just go wherever,
is that it?

You must think we're idiots
with that excuse.

I tried to be nice when I went
to your movie set.

But inside I really wanted to
let my true feelings out.

Everyone knows the "escorts"
in Kungjeong serve drinks

AND their bodies.

On what planet would a mother want
that kind of tramp for her son?

Now I ask you...

Am I being unreasonable here?

I love Kitae.

And he loves me.

Love will wash away any mistakes
I made.

Forgive me.

I won't forget your past in this life
or the next.

What difference will forgiveness make?

Please...

What are you doing out here?

We have company.

Who?

Your lady friend.

Huh?

Huh.

Oh, hello.

What's going on?
What are you doing here?

I wanted a word with her.

Oh dear...

Already nagging your daughter-in-law?

Go easy.

Daughter-in--? You're not married.

Sheesh, Your Ladyship.

We're already as good as married
in my heart.

Get used to it.

Shows what you know, mouthy.

You should go.

I swear...

What did she say to you?

Only good things.

You two...

Just as well, I wanted to see you.

Why?

Why? Cause I wanted to.

Sondok, what are you looking at?

Oh, right.

Heh, kids...

C'mon, I'll walk you.

I thought of getting a better place
but changed my mind.

Rather than use it for myself...

I'd rather invest the profits back
in the business.

I'll make a record label, build a plant.

Mr. Shin has seen the land.

How about a little reward for all my
hard work?

Less grinning, c'mon.

How?

Well, ahem...

That's it? Whatta gyp, seriously...

I won't forget your past in this life
or the next.

What difference will forgiveness make?

Jonghye, come on.

We'll be late. Come on.

Well? That girl...

Hey, what's wrong?

What are you..?

She's burning up.

Gyesun, Gyesun!

Jonghye.

She needs a doctor.

No, I'm fine.

Fine? With that fever?

Quick, call Taesang.

What did the doctor say.

Lack of sleep, malnutrition,
there you have it.

She just needs rest.

That's good.

What's good about it?

What are you two doing?

How did you let her get this way?

It's not like we gave her a fever.

Why won't she sleep or eat?
Is something wrong?

No, not that I know of.

Oh, right...'scuse...

Kitae's mom came to see her on the set.

Then Jonghye went to see her and
she's been like this ever since.

What did she say?

No idea.

I'll fix the schedule with the director.
Look after her.

Hurry it up, hurry.

The point of this scene is Hyerin's tears.

It's her last chance to get Jungu.

And a woman's greatest weapon...

Tears, right?

Not too much, not too little.

Just enough to touch his heart.

How much is that?

It can't be measured, it has to be felt.

I'm sorry, I'm not...

No, no, just go with your gut.

Oh, Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang, Jonghye?

She might not make it today.

Why?

She's in the hospital.

She's sick?

It's not serious, just overwork.

The doctor says she'll be fine,
so if we can change the schedule?

She's been listless these last few days.

Forget the schedule. Tell her to rest up.

Director. Bad news.

Why? What is it?

This.

- Where?
- There.

How did this happen?

What scum made this up?

Kitae...Kitae...

Bad news.

What?

- This article.
- Hm?

"Film Cinderella Lee Jonghye and
Bitnara President - OOLALA?"

What's this about?

I don't know.
The media's making up a scandal...

What a pain.

Deal with it quick or it will be bad.

It will kill her career.
And Choi Songwon's film.

You know what scandal can do
to an actress.

- Ugh.
- Argh.

We wrapped up and came home
for now.

How is it there? Mr. Kang?

I see.

That Jonghye is a real piece of work.

Kang Kitae is beside himself.

What is it with you two anyway?

Dousing your first movie with cold water.

Suppose I just give up on Kitae?

What? At a time like this?

I know Kitae's personality.
He'll never lie to save face.

This will just bring them closer together.

Don't be ridiculous.

Whatever Kitae's like,
would he risk the film by admitting this?

He won't do it.
The company is like his family,

he won't focus just on Jonghye.

And if the movie tanks, it hurts you, too.

This is your opportunity to
break them up.

Use it to your advantage.

Eat. You'll feel better.

I can't.

Something happened with you and
Kitae's mom.

What? Tell me.

Nothing much.

You're killing me here.

If it's nothing, why are you like this?

What's that?

Jonghye.

That's what you get for
not listening to me.

What did I say?

Dump the bum, I said.

Easy to say. Like people can shut off
their hearts?

Isn't it your job to block this
kind of stuff?

How exactly?

What will you do?
Deal with this or the film will be ruined.

The investors are already whining about
pulling their money out.

I want to be alone.

What will that solve?

Call a press conference, deny everything.

You have to do something.

Please, please, leave me alone.

Outside, outside, come on.

Kitae, I'm back.

You find out?

Yes. Jonghye wasn't on the set.
She never showed.

Where is she now?

Well...She wasn't feeling well.
She's in the hospital.

What? Which hospital?

Mr. Kang. You saw the scandal rag?

Jonghye's sick. Which
hospital is she in?

She just needs rest, don't worry.

What about this scandal?

Who will want to see a movie about
finding true love

when the star is in a scandal?

You two have to call a press conference.

Say it's a lie. Deny everything.

I won't lie and deny our relationship.

You won't?

What, you going to flaunt it in public?

You're driving me insane.

What about the movie?

A movie's a movie,
but think about Jonghye.

She's just making a name for herself.

If your relationship comes out...

her career is over.

Don't just think about yourself.

Excuse me.

Mr. Kang, don't...Mr. Kang!

I'm losing my mind!

Try to calm down.

He blew snot in my rice,
would YOU calm down?

You should've stopped him.

You should call if you're sick,
don't you think?

I'm fine, don't worry.

I'm sorry about all this.

You have nothing to be sorry for.

Since it's already out...

let's get married.

There's a lot going on right now,
but I refuse to deny our relationship.

I'll handle any business losses.

It's a perfect chance to get married.
Problem solved.

Don't worry. Trust me.

Well?

You're definitely a man I can deal with.

I'm pleased that you're pleased.

Shall I give you a hot follow-up?

What?

You know how Kang Kitae rose so high
in such a short time?

You recognize those men?

I'm not sure. They're not in the industry.

That's Han Jipyong. That's Jo Taesu.

Han Jipyong, Jo Taesu.

The mobsters?

Bitnara Productions quick rise
is entirely due...

to ties with organized crime.

This could be serious trouble.

They may retaliate, and if I'm wrong--

You shoulder the rifle, I'll handle the rest.

What's between you and
Kang Kitae anyway?

Is there a history there?

I'm just tired of living under
the same sky.

What's this?

An article about Kitae. Read it.

Huh? What article?

No...it can't...

Now the whole world knows about them.

What now?

Pierre, the other design students...

they all know she went to Kungjeong.

They love making fun of my
soon-to-be "sister-in-law".

I am a laughing-stock.

It's so embarrassing.

I already knew about them.

How did you know?

Mr. Kang asked me about her once.

Women's intuition, perhaps?

Ah, now there's a man in love.
I could tell that much.

Catching Kang Kitae himself.

She's got a knack for getting ahead.

Yes, sir?

An article about me.

Someone's trying to make things
difficult for me.

Find out who gave this reporter
his information.

Very good, sir.

Yes, Cha Suhyok.

It's me. You see the article?

Reading it now.

How's that for a one-two punch?

I'll finish him. Stay out of it for now.

It just complicates things
if Kitae figures it out.

All right.

But I'm curious about this
"finish block" of yours.

You'll see. Be patient.

There's one more thing.

Yes?

We're not doing this just to hurt
Kang Kitae.

This is designed to put Mr. Jang back
in the President's good graces.

Bitnara Productions is merely incidental.

I say this so there are no mistakes
out of your enmity toward Kang Kitae.

I understand.

You got the information asked for?

Yes.

Here.

All the marijuana smokers we know about.

Including Bitnara's singers and actors,
of course.

We're ready.

We'll use the conference room.

These singers that affect English names.

"Bunny Girls," bunny girls, "The Onions,"
onions, "Twins," Kim Serena, Kim Sena.

Patti Kim's real name is Kim Hyeja.

Not unlike the "long hair hippies" cases.

There's one infraction in the
entertainment industry

that deserves special attention.

The core of our operation is to block
the young,

vocal opponents of the Yushin System.

Marijuana is proscribed by law.

We can use it to detain these freaks
with their "freedom" talk.

That's the goal.

Your thoughts?

Lightning in the President's hand.

Present it to him yourself and
it may put you back in his good graces.

People should be involved in the
New Village Movement.

Wasteful, decadent trash...
I want to arrest them myself.

No, sir. Not yourself.

Why not?

Suggest it to the President and
leave the operation to Mt. Nam.

The bear does the work
while you reap the reward.

Director Kim will arrest Kang Kitae
while you watch from the sidelines.

Cha Suhyok. You're just full of surprises.

Reading this, it's obvious someone
is playing the media to get you.

Reporters are wusses.
Look at him hard, he'll talk.

I'll look into it.

No need. It's Jo Myongguk.

What? How did you..?

I hired an ex-cop. It's Myongguk for sure.

He identified the reporter Myongguk's
been using.

Han Jisu.

The scandal monger.

Han got someone else to write
this new one.

Then let's put a stop to it.

Snatch him, slap him around.

The reporter is nothing. It's Jo Myongguk.

Find out which films in the Chongmunno
area Song Mijin is distributing.

Buy them off.

Sir?

It's expensive. Can you afford it?

That's my concern, so don't worry.

It's the only way I have to squeeze
Song Mijin.

Yes, sir.

Yes, Taeyang Pictures.

It's Kitae.

And?

I'm ready to take over the Sunyang.

You told me you'd contact the
real theater owners.

No answer?

Just so you know, I'll find him myself,
with or without you.

Get me Jeon Changhyon, hurry.

Sir.

You're buying back the Sunyang?

Someday, but not now.

Then what was that about?

I need the creditor behind Jo Myongguk.

You mean Jeon Changhyon?

If we want Myongguk, we start with him.

I'm sorry.

Sorry-shmorry, what are you going to do?

We needn't bother shooting now.

You just show up, that's it?

This is all your fault.
You should at least have a plan.

We'll deal with it, relax.

How exactly?

I called some reporters.

Jonghye will explain everything to them.

Did you talk to Mr. Kang?

Kitae and Jonghye are of two minds.

Never mind Mr. Kang,
this is Jonghye's problem.

You just talk to those reporters.

Sir, reporters. Your orders?

I'll get them.

Good thinking.
Whatever happens with you and Kitae...

the movie comes first.

See, what did I tell you?

This will cause a rift between them.

Should I use it?

Lee Jonghye begged me to go to
Kungjeong.

She did?

Marriage or no marriage,
she's got ambitions.

She won't give up this film.

You should take advantage.

Pardon...coming through...

We appreciate you giving us
your valuable time.

We know you're curious about our star,
Lee Jonghye.

She'll answer any questions
you may have.

When did you first meet Kang Kitae?

I was a Bitnara singer before
I was an actress.

That's how we met.

When did you two start fooling around?

Your tawdry little scandal
will hurt the film.

Any comment?

You've misunderstood something,
so I'll clarify.

Kang Kitae and I...

have no relationship.

Isn't that just for the movie?

You two have been seen together.

Bitnara Productions has invested
in our film.

Choi Songwon and Yu Chaeyong
are his associates.

We met to discuss the film,
nothing more.

I'll say it again.

There's nothing between Kang Kitae
and myself.

- Oh, sit.
- Sir.

- You know him?
- Yes, sir.

You have a history,
but that's all in the past.

I need you to work together.

That's why I asked you here.

- I apologize...
- No, you were just doing your job.

Right, right, business is business.

Let's let bygones be bygones.

Here.

Quiet is one thing, too quiet another.

Mr. Jang's talk about "reflection"
is a blind.

He's up to something.

Nothing that I know of.

All Jang Cholhwan has right now
is Han Chisu.

Cut that off and Jang's hands are tied.

The reason I kept you at
the Blue House...

was so you could spy on
Jang and Han Chisu.

I understand perfectly.

Can you trust Cha Suhyok?

That's for you to tell me.

Whether I trust him or not,
I can still use him.

If he's my man, all well and good.

If not, he'll tell Jang
what I want him to say.

I only tell him what I want repeated to Jang.

I trust him to say those things I might not
want to say to Jang's face just yet.

You take my meaning?

Yes, sir.

We met to discuss the film,
nothing more.

I'll say it again.

There's nothing between Kang Kitae
and myself.

Hey. Sit.

Si-i-it.

What did you want?

You know Lee Songae?

Sure, she's in Japan.

Right. Her cover of Nam Jin's
"Break My Heart" is a huge hit.

I got a call from a record producer
I know in Japan.

He wants another singer that will
appeal to his market.

I'm betting you would big in Japan.

Much bigger than you are here.

You know how busy I am?

Concerts, records, a movie.

I don't have time for anything else.

I know, but I wanted to pass on
the opportunity.

Not interested. We done?

Sit.

I understand why you don't like me.

But I did my best for you.

I did everything and anything I could.

This is my parting gift to you.

You don't have to work with me,
but leave Bitnara now.

It will be the end of you.

If it is or isn't...is no concern of yours.

An invitation to my recital.

Come if you must.

It will ruin you and then what?

You'll come running back to me,
Chaeyong.

Spacing, girls.

Just the two of us, all alone

Time alone to talk

About meetings.. and partings...

Sumi, back up.

Inja, smile. What's with the face?

Concerts, records, movies.

You really hit luck with Yu Chaeyong.

She can't get enough of you and
you don't spare her a glance.

Tsk-tsk-tsk, such a shame.

With Jonghye it's thorns and brambles.

But with Chaeyong it's smooth sailing.

Time to trade up, wouldn't you say?

Tell me, you willing to trade up
from Sunae?

Hey...Never.

She's put up with me for too long.

I'd rather die.

Then keep your advice to yourself.

Kitae. Nam Dohyok called.

He found Jeon Changhyon.

Where?

That teahouse.
He's meeting Jo Myongguk.

What's this about?

You should disappear.

Kang Kitae is looking for you.

Don't leave any traces.

"Disappear"...

It's not enough...

to quietly "disappear."

You'll get more later.
Just take it and shut up.

Disappear, he says.

Cheapskate.

Well, well, Mr. Jeon.

Been a while.

What's going on?

That's what I want to know.

What's going on?

Why are you avoiding me?

You should use the new menu.
There are no customers.

We'll start serving duck next week.

Is something wrong, Mrs. Pak?

You don't look so good.

Oh, that Kitae breaks my heart.

Why? Is the Young Master in trouble?

No. It was hard to see him out of work.

But seeing him take chances
with his job...

is even worse.

They say, "You're lucky to have
no children."

I envy you.

You have no family?

None.

We lost our little girl in the war.

After that my wife just wasted away.

Your daughter died?

No, we got separated.

I scoured the country.

You name an orphanage,
I've been there.

That's why I ran the show biz.

I just want to see her before I die.

Hm?

What is it?

You met the person looking for Jonghye?

How did you know?

I called the director.

Argh, I told her not to talk.

Why didn't you tell Jonghye?

You know how hard she's looking
for her folks, so why?

I have my reasons.

You keep quiet, too.

What reasons?

Never you mind.

I'm warning you, don't tell her.

It's for her own good.

Gyesun.

I've been waiting for 2 hours.

You don't call, you don't show,
how could you?

It's just, they changed my schedule,
I couldn't help it.

I'm really sorry.

Schedule-smedule.

Maybe your feelings went away
after you became famous.

Never, ever. Believe me, Gyesun.
I'm sorry.

I don't need you!

Gyesun.

Gyesun!

Ooooh, true love.

Nah, it's not...

It's not? Look in my eyes and say that.

It's not.

Sheesh.

Chicks, I'm tellin' you.

Always one thing after another.

Am I right?

She just doesn't understand me,
it's so frustrating.

I'm not the type to change after
becoming famous.

I can see that, but look at it from her perspective.

When Jongja took off?

I went nuts.

Have some.

What's that?

Happy Smoke.

When you're tense and have to go on,
this does the trick.

I don't even smoke cigarettes.

So just try it. All the big singers do it.

Here.

I've been reading about you.
Tell me about it.

Jo Myongguk's behind it.

That putz. He's more stubborn
than I thought.

A scandal can hurt a film. Any plans?

We keep shooting.

So you're breaking it off with Jonghye?

No. Not at all.

Well then?

With your investment, and Choi and
Chaeyong's commitment...

I can't just think of myself.

We'll just have to keep our relationship
quiet for now.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Marry the girl or break it off,
one or the other.

Waffling like this is meaningless.

Of course, I'll have to pull my funding
for the picture.

Dongchol. He says it's urgent.

It's me.

Kitae, Jeon spilled his guts.

Right. On my way.

Torture?

No, no...He wouldn't talk, so I used some
of that old-school police persuasion.

Ask away. He's quite talkative.

Jang Cholhwan and Jo Myongguk
set you up to seize my family's assets.

That much I know.

What I want to know now is...
why my father was taken by the KCIA.

I knew him. There was no reason for it.

Did Jang Cholhwan and Jo Myongguk
have him picked up?

Tell me!

Kitae, let's think about this.

Kitae.

What now?

What is this?

You got a death wish, is that it?
