Original subtitles

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

Curly-haired Assistant Director.

Yes?

Have we...

met before?

We have, haven't we?

Sorry?

- Yes. - Where?

Well, I saw you numerous times on TV.

In TV commercials and drama series.

I'm the average guy, so people ask me that all the time.

I'm sure that had you confused.

Is that so?

Darn, that was close.

I almost told her I used to be Ko Dae Chung.

Anyway, it doesn't feel right to pretend not to know her.

Should I just come clean?

No, it's better this way.

Does Do Ra...

still remember me from back in the day?

Come on. Let's have some fun.

Here. Bring on the drinks.

I bet that's what you learned from your mom growing up.

Your mom went around...

wining and dining people to get you a role.

Everyone in this field knows that!

Cho Bi Bi.

You threw a knife at my heart,

so get ready to have your heart broken as well.

Just you wait, Bi Bi.

- Bong Soo. - Hey.

How about a drink?

Hey, Pil Seung.

Park Do Ra.

Now that I got to take a closer look at you,

I realize that you have the prettiest eyes.

Your eyes are the darkest shade of black.

What happens if I lose myself in them?

Will I be able to swim out of there?

Thanks for saying I look pretty.

Sitting next to you this close...

has my heart skipping a beat.

Do I make you nervous?

Any woman would be nervous to be this close to you.

You see, you're the reason I agreed...

to do "Straightforward Romance."

Me?

Yes.

I was thinking about taking a break,

but then I was told you were the male lead.

That's why I agreed to it.

You've always been my type.

Hey.

- Do Ra, what are you doing? - Really?

Am I your type?

That's what I said.

But now we'll be in the same show...

playing a couple.

It's like my dream came true.

Really?

Well, just so you know,

I've always had my eyes on you as well.

So...

how about we get together?

What?

Bong Soo, come on. You shouldn't be like this.

I heard you were seeing someone.

Bong Soo.

Do you know who I hate the most in this world?

Two-timers.

I hope you're not someone who cheats on his girlfriend.

Come on. Of course not.

I hate two-timers myself.

Okay. Do Ra,

I heard you loud and clear.

That being said, let's drink to that.

Cheers.

Goodness.

Park Do Ra, that minx.

Didn't she tell us she hated Cha Bong Soo's guts?

They have to play a couple,

so it's good that they're getting along.

You practically forced them to be on better terms.

She truly is a professional.

There's a reason everyone wants to work with her.

We won't have to worry about our show anymore...

since the two of them are hitting it off on day one.

That was unbelievable.

What's with Do Ra?

She's out of her mind. She has completely lost it.

She's not the same Park Do Ra I used to know.

Whatever.

It's not like she's my little sister.

Whether she drinks with Cha Bong Soo or feeds him cherries...

is none of my business.

Darn it!

- Isn't it good? - It's delicious.

- Have your fill. - That's nice and sweet.

I'm home.

- Goodness. - Come on in.

Pil Seung, you came home at the right second.

Take a seat and have some sweet red bean porridge.

- What? Sweet red bean porridge? - Yes.

Is it a special occasion?

Here you go.

It's hot, so take your time.

Sweet red bean porridge, it's been so long.

It must taste good today because we haven't had it in a while.

I like that it isn't too sweet. Don't you agree, Pil Seung?

Yes, Auntie.

The sweet red bean porridge melts all the stress away.

What?

Who's calling at this hour?

My friend.

Hey, Hye Sook.

Right, but it's too bad.

Pil Seung isn't interested in dating at the moment.

Things must be hectic at the broadcasting station...

because he wants to focus on his work.

That's right. It's too bad, but what can we do?

Thank you for going the extra mile.

Sure, we'll hang up.

Was Pil Seung offered a blind date?

Who was the young lady to make you turn the offer down...

without even asking him?

The daughter of my friend's cousin works at a bank.

When she heard about Pil Seung's job,

she offered to set them up on a blind date.

But I turned it down.

Come on.

Someone working at a bank is a great catch in the dating pool.

- Grandma. - Yes?

I'm not interested in dating at the moment.

I don't have the time for that.

That's right, Pil Seung.

Just focus on your job for now.

Once you get promoted to director,

Soo Yeon said she'd set you up...

with a young lady from a great family down the road.

What's that supposed to mean?

Is that your friend from that rich family?

Yes, she made a pinky promise with me...

to set Pil Seung up with a young lady from a nice family.

My goodness.

That rich friend of yours made a pinky promise with you?

What if Pil Seung gets to marry...

into a rich family himself?

Guys, stop getting ahead of yourselves.

Besides, why should Soo Yeon set me up with anyone?

I'll find the woman who's right for me,

so please mind your business when it comes to my dating life.

How can we mind our business...

when so many men ruined their lives...

after meeting the wrong woman?

Always be careful when it comes to women.

Heed that warning.

Mom, don't worry about things like that.

Dating women isn't a priority for me...

at the moment.

It doesn't matter how careful you are.

You'll ruin your life if you meet the wrong woman.

- That reminds me. - Yes?

This happened to a rich family in a friend of my friend's neighborhood.

A woman came saying she was pregnant with their son's baby.

They had no choice but to let them marry.

But the more they thought about it, the less it made sense.

Why?

Was the baby not his?

It wasn't that.

The mom had taught the son well about how to use contraception,

and the man was really very careful.

They couldn't figure out how the woman got pregnant.

It turned out that the sly woman...

poked holes in the condom so she'd get pregnant...

and marry into a rich family.

What? My goodness.

- That's gross. - Mom.

Sun Young.

What?

It's true.

- Goodness. - That's unbelievable.

I raise you.

Come on.

Why raise when you're out of ammo?

Go all-in with what you have.

Hey. Why don't I have ammo?

Do you know how much this is worth?

All-in.

Okay. Call.

Let's see your hand.

Hey.

Just a moment.

Oh, well.

That was fun.

Hey!

Bring some cash.

Give me a loan.

What was that?

Not that dream again.

I already have a lot on my mind,

and he keeps showing up, making me feel worse.

I can't stand the darned old fool.

When will he leave me alone?

When will he stop harassing me in my sleep?

I need to pay at least the interest on the money I borrowed next month.

If we were to lose this house or the Cheongdam-dong building,

Do Ra wouldn't forgive me.

Oh, no.

What should I do?

What am I to do?

What do I do?

Gong Jin Dan.

You can't afford to exercise right now.

We need to talk.

What do you want to talk about now? Later.

I have to shower and go to work.

Jeil Steel's chairman's daughter.

Did you really tell her you met someone fatefully?

If you didn't like her, that's fine, but did you have to talk nonsense?

How could you say that on a blind date?

What will you do now?

You need rich in-laws at least...

so you can force your brother to hand over Angel Investments.

Just wait, Mom.

I met a pretty decent woman.

She's fabulous and the Jeil Steel girl is no match.

What? Is that true?

You didn't lie?

Who are the girl's parents?

How rich are they? Richer than Jeil Steel?

I can't tell you that now. I'll tell you everything later.

When is later?

Can't you tell me now?

I'm dead curious.

Will you just wait?

I'm off to shower.

I knew it. Jin Dan isn't that thoughtless.

Anyway,

we need to take Angel Investments soon...

so Jin Dan won't look too shabby around his future in-laws.

My goodness.

Ma Ri.

What were you doing, standing there so quietly?

Were you eavesdropping like a ghost?

Mom, the mistress is trying to take Angel Investments!

Jin Dan, is it true you invested in a drama production?

Yes.

Goodness, Jin Dan.

Why would you do something like that?

What do you mean?

People invest a lot in content these days.

You must see the big picture and invest in what will profit.

Don't waste money or energy for no reason.

Jin Taek.

It's true that I did nothing but disappoint you so far.

But trust me with it for a while.

I'll make it work somehow.

I'm off to work.

Jin Taek. No, Chairman Gong.

The Korean Wave is a huge deal.

Our dramas, movies, and music.

K-contents are popular all around the world.

I'm sure Jin Dan has a plan of his own.

Mom, Dad.

Does Angel Investments belong to Uncle?

Goodness.

Ma Ri.

Why would you ask? You don't need to know about that.

Mom. I know some things too.

Don't treat me like a fool.

Dad said everything this family owns was mine.

You said I was your successor.

So I should know everything. Right, Dad?

Yes, that's right.

I'll explain everything to you slowly and bit by bit.

Today, will you come to work with me since you haven't in a while?

Yes. I'd like that.

Were you that thirsty?

Was the tour boring?

Yes.

Dad. Your work is not fun at all.

How do you manage to work every day without a break?

I think it's fun.

And I must work hard.

So many people's lives depend on the company.

Responsibility? Sense of duty?

Ma Ri. Did you see that?

Our Ma Ri is a genius.

You have a great brain.

I told you that...

I knew what there was to know.

What am I doing?

Oh, no. I just messed up my diet.

This much is fine.

You're slim and pretty as you are.

You don't need to lose weight.

Yes, Ma Ri.

Why go on a diet when you're perfectly beautiful?

- I don't know. It's ruined. - Where are you going?

The toilet.

I'll see myself out.

I hope everything's fine. See you on set.

Hey.

Hello.

Pil Seung.

Honey. This is Sun Young's son.

I see.

The young man from the funeral.

Yes. How are you?

You were a teenager then. You're a grown young man now.

He works at a TV station as a drama director.

Oh, do you?

I watch them when I have the time.

I hope you make some good ones.

I will, sir.

What were you doing here?

I met some people for work and was on my way out.

I'll let you chat. I should get going.

Goodbye.

Your friend Sun Young.

She must feel so reassured to have a son like that.

Yes.

She is.

- I'll go to the ladies' room too. - Sure.

Did he leave already?

Okay, I'll talk to them for you. Bye.

Hey. Why are you out here?

Hi.

I came out to make a call.

I see.

We haven't met in a while and you look a bit rough.

You're not ill, are you?

Why would I be? I'm too healthy for my own good.

I neglected my skincare routine because I was busy.

I should get a facial mask.

Yes.

Even if you're busy, look after yourself.

And eat well too.

I will. You look after yourself too.

I will. Thanks.

You should go. You seem busy.

Okay.

The wine and flowers...

are from Angel Investments' Gong Jin Dan?

Yes. Look at the business card.

Do you really not know the guy?

I really don't.

I'm off to a shoot.

Do Ra, wait.

He invested in your drama...

and sent a gift.

You should say thank you.

Can't you take care of stuff like that for me?

- Goodness. - See you.

- Okay. Take care. - Bye.

- See you. - Bye.

Who on earth is Mr. Gong Jin Dan?

Why is he being so nice to Do Ra?

This is strange.

No way. Is it because...

he's interested in Do Ra?

(CEO Gong Jin Dan)

Hello, Gong Jin Dan speaking.

Hello, Mr. Gong.

This is the CEO of Dora Entertainment,

Baek Mi Ja.

I'm Actress Park Do Ra's mom.

Hello, Ms. Baek.

You sent the wine and flowers...

to our place, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Do Ra starts shooting the new drama today,

so I sent them to show my support.

That's such a thoughtful gesture, Mr. Gong.

I was going to give you a call anyway.

I was told you gave your full support...

so Do Ra could close the contact with good terms.

Thank you so much for everything.

It's my pleasure. I'm a big fan of Actress Park Do Ra.

I only invested the money because I appreciated her talents.

Do you really mean that?

I wish Do Ra could hear all your lovely compliments.

Then could we meet up for a meal sometime?

Of course.

Anytime will do for us.

Thank you, Mr. Gong. Goodbye.

I thought he'd be old, but he sounds quite young.

Is he a young guy?

I wonder what CEO Gong Jin Dan of Angel Investments is like.

What? I see.

- We will do this scene first. - Okay.

- Hey. - Jin Gu.

We have a problem. At the alley entrance,

there was a car accident, and a truck collapsed.

There's no way the sprinkler truck can make it here.

What?

What do we do then?

What do you want me to do?

Ready, action.

Gosh, it's cold.

Cut. Wait.

Pil Seung!

Can't you sprinkle the water right?

- Do it right. - I'm sorry.

Cut. We're doing it again.

Why does it stop raining?

Let me fill this with water again.

Get me some water.

If you run out of water, you should fill it.

I can't take care of everything.

All right. Let's do it again.

Cut. Okay.

Thanks.

Well... Do Ra. I was wondering...

I understand that they couldn't get the sprinkler truck here, but...

- Listen, Bong Soo. - What?

I mean, we live in an age when a trip to Mars is possible.

And they're letting a man sprinkle water with a watering can?

What kind of shoot is this?

It must be tough for the assistant director and staff, right?

Yes. I guess you're right.

Let's move on to the next scene.

Yes, Director Hong.

Bong Soo, I'll go get changed.

Okay. All right.

- By the way, do you need anything? - I'll check something and go there.

- Something hot. - Something hot?

- Yes. - Like a hot-iced Americano?

What?

All right. I'll be right back.

Assistant Director Ko.

Assistant Director Ko.

It must've been hard for you to sprinkle water on us earlier.

It was all right.

What was that?

I was trying to be nice, but he didn't even care to look.

What's with him?

Is he upset?

Darn it.

Why is he coming again?

Do Ra.

What?

Did you get my text message?

I sent the address of a Japanese restaurant.

The address of a Japanese restaurant?

No, I didn't see it.

I put my phone on silent.

We have only two scenes left today.

I'll see you there.

I booked a room.

A room?

The thing is, something urgent has come up.

I don't think I can have dinner with you.

Bong Soo.

Listen.

Hey! Park Do Ra, Cha Bong Soo!

What do you think you're doing sitting that close to one another?

Park Do Ra, you darn brat!

- Is that Cho Bi Bi? - Yes.

Do Ra, I'm going to kill you!

- Hey, Bi Bi. - Please wait!

- My gosh. - Gosh, it hurts.

- Please let go of this. - Hey.

- It hurts. - Move out of the way!

- Bi Bi. - Bi Bi, let go of it first.

- Hey, Bi Bi. - Let go of it.

- My gosh. - Bi Bi, let go.

- What's going on? - What's that?

Park Do Ra!

You hit on Bong Soo first, right?

You already took my job,

and now you're stealing a man from me?

You darn wench!

Don't cause a scene on set...

and please talk it out.

Cho Bi Bi, what are you talking about?

Nothing is going on between Bong Soo and me.

I'm not interested in Bong Soo at all.

Nothing's going on? You're not interested?

Are you serious? Isn't it you?

Of course not. What are you talking about?

There might be someone else.

Hey, Cha Bong Soo.

What happened?

Who is it then? Who made you dump me?

You said it was because of Park Do Ra!

Do Ra, you have to say something.

What am I supposed to say?

Bi Bi, it's not me. I'm telling you.

There's no way I'm interested in him.

Hey, Cha Bong Soo.

How can you do this to me?

You could've just said you didn't like me!

You jerk!

Hey, Bi Bi. Wait.

Wait, Bi Bi. Listen to me.

It's not like I don't want to be with you.

You darn scumbag!

We're so over now!

Hey, Park Do Ra.

You sounded as if you'd go out with me...

if I broke up with Bi Bi.

Why are you playing dumb?

Why are you making a fool out of me?

When did I say that?

I didn't say I'd go out with you.

What are you talking about?

You said you didn't want me to be a cheater.

That's why I broke up with Bi Bi!

I didn't tell you to break up with Bi Bi.

I just said I didn't like two-timing.

That doesn't mean I want to go out with you.

I just told you about what I didn't like.

You said working with me was like your dream came true.

I just meant I was happy to work with you.

That doesn't mean I have feelings for you.

Come on. You're being funny.

Don't be so melodramatic.

Why you...

Bong Soo.

Did you just scream obscenities at my face?

That's right, you...

- Please don't. - You foul-mouthed...

- Are you done talking? - What's the matter with you?

- You heard her too. - Say that again.

- Do Ra, please. - Get over here, darn it.

- Are you done talking? - Give me a hand!

You good-for-nothing witch. Get over here.

Director Hong, I can't work with a goon like him.

I refuse to work with him!

How can one spit out such obscenities?

What? A goon?

You're the thug and a goon. Get over here.

- Get over here. - Did you call me a goon?

- Do Ra, please. - You're the goon in this case.

- Get over here. Let me go. - You goon!

Have some respect for your seniors. Get over here!

- You goon. - Hey!

Get back here!

Let me go.

What kind of a mess is this?

Forget this.

Pil Seung, wrap up today's filming.

Wrap it up, darn it!

And shoots...

Unbelievable.

Being glued to your laptop trying to write something...

won't generate any money or a man for that matter.

Mom, don't talk to me.

Mom, what's the matter with you?

Not everyone can write a decent screenplay.

Give up on that pipe dream of yours.

It's been a bust for ten years which means there's no hope.

Study for the state exam instead.

You need to have something going for you...

to be set up on blind dates and get married.

Mom, please leave me be.

Passing the state exam is no walk in the park.

You moron.

Didn't you hear what your sister-in-law said?

I don't know whose daughter she is, but she's cunning and smart.

To marry into a rich family,

she poked a hole in the condom.

Meanwhile, you spend your days glued to your laptop.

How much longer will you waste your time like this?

Well...

Poking holes in a condom...

is a crime.

Where's her pride?

I would never shackle a man's ankles like that!

Seriously?

Try saying that after you've been with men.

Get out there and go out with a random guy...

rather than staying home glued to your laptop.

Myung Dong, come on.

What if you reach 40 and 50, and go through menopause?

What will you do?

You aging like this without a plan...

is killing me inside.

- Darn it! - What?

Don't think about coming home...

until you have gotten together with a man. Got it?

Ju Hee.

Marry me.

Did you just ask me to marry you?

- Me? - Yes.

What's wrong? Don't you want to?

Of course I don't want to.

I only just turned 23.

Consider our age gap.

Have you no conscience?

What?

I dated you...

because you were sweet and were good to me.

But this is more than burdening.

Besides, I'm seeing someone new.

That's why I asked to see you today.

Fine. Leave me, darn it!

I, Park Do Sik,

will not stop a woman from leaving me...

or stop a woman from approaching me!

If that's what you want,

leave me.

What? What's this?

Goodness.

You sparkly little thing are a pretty one.

But where did you come from?

Excuse me.

Were you the one who tossed this sparkly object?

May I keep it?

Sure. I...

I threw it away, so keep it if you want.

In exchange, can I have some of that?

Let me get this straight.

So that younger girl rejected your proposal today?

No way.

It's like a scene from a romantic comedy.

Oh, my.

What's so funny when this is a serious matter for me?

Just think about it.

There's a man this handsome,

but the girl rejected him without batting an eye.

This surely has to be a plot from a romantic comedy.

It's not some melodrama one cries over.

Don't you agree?

Right, a romantic comedy.

Do you really think I'm handsome?

Yes, you're super good-looking.

If it had been me,

I wouldn't have rejected a man like you...

even if that meant crossing over to a melodrama category.

It seems as though we click.

Right?

It seems as though the two of us click.

So would you like to be friends?

We'll be friends...

and meet up every Wednesday.

Friends?

Okay, I'm down with that.

Here. Give me your number.

Sure.

Let's see. 010...

There.

Right.

Then,

since we became friends...

On Wednesdays, let there be red roses!

On Wednesdays, let there be red roses.

What the...

You've got to be kidding me.

Did you sleep well?

Right. Yes.

Where are you going?

I'm late for work, and I can't afford to be late.

Sorry about this. I'll call you.

But... Hold on.

Of course.

It's kind of awkward to face each other afterward.

- Gosh. - Unbelievable.

Mom, come on.

I really spent the night at Sun Mi's place.

What? You spent the night at Sun Mi's place?

Are you kidding me?

From last night up until now,

I called Sun Mi numerous times.

But you say you slept at Sun Mi's place. Unbelievable.

I can't believe you're lying to me of all people as well.

Okay, fine. I'll tell you the truth.

Mom.

- Look. - What?

Check it out.

What's this? My gosh.

What the... This ring.

Who gave you this?

A guy.

A guy?

Were you...

with a man last night?

Yes.

Mom, your wish...

came true.

My gosh.

Myung Dong, my goodness.

Myung Dong!

My sweet girl Myung Dong.

This calls for a celebration.

This calls for a true celebration.

My sweet daughter.

Darn it.

Ju Hee hurting you badly...

isn't an excuse to sleep with a random woman.

You're out of your mind.

You crazy idiot.

Leave me.

Excuse me.

Were you the one who tossed this sparkly object?

There's no way I...

Hold on.

Okay.

It's not here.

The diamond ring isn't here.

That cost a fortune.

Unbelievable.

Hold on.

That's not it.

- Mom. - Yes?

Could this be a real diamond?

Why else would it be this sparkly?

Hey, give it here.

This? It's a real diamond.

Are you sure it's real?

A diamond of this size...

must have cost at least 50,000 dollars.

He must be from a super-wealthy family...

to have bought a diamond this big.

Did you say 50...

Not 5 dollars, but 50,000 dollars? Really?

That's right.

My gosh.

- Mom. - Yes?

It's that guy.

- What? - What do I do?

What else? Take it already.

- Answer it. - Right.

Yes, it's me.

Where are you right now?

We need to meet right this second.

Right now?

Go and meet him.

Sure. I'll be right out.

What did he say? Does he want to see you?

Yes.

He wants to meet me right this second.

He must miss me already.

We could've met up after you got off from work.

Don't tell me you already missed me.

Well, it's...

Anyway...

May I take your hand?

My hand?

Yes.

Here.

What are you doing?

Why are you taking the ring off?

Give back the ring.

Why? You gave it to me.

No, this ring wasn't meant for you.

I'm sorry.

You see, it's too expensive.

Didn't you give me the ring to symbolize our new relationship?

Of course not!

Well...

What happened last night...

was a drunken mistake.

We can't give it a serious meaning,

not when we're both adults.

Besides, it wasn't just me. It was obviously...

consensual.

By the looks of it, you are not on the younger side.

I'm sure this isn't hard to understand.

Anyway, I apologize for this.

I'll get going first, then.

A mistake?

Just a mistake?

My head.

My gosh.

What did you say?

A few months?

Okay, fine.

I'll pay up, all right?

I'll pay everything back by the end of the month.

Where on earth am I going to get more money?

It's not like I can take out any more loans.

Goodness me. My head's killing me.

You want Ms. Park to be paid in advance?

That's right. I know I'm asking for a lot,

but the agency is in urgent need of money.

Could that be arranged, sir?

Of course. I'll have that arranged.

Really?

Gosh, thank you so much.

Ms. Park's the reason...

"Straightforward Romance" secured its funding.

If it hadn't been for her,

the main sponsor Angel Investments...

would have passed up on this opportunity.

For that, we're grateful.

But please don't tell Do Ra...

that she was paid in advance.

I don't want to bother her when she's filming.

Of course. Don't worry about that.

My gosh.

I've been saved.

I'll pay my debt with Do Ra's earnings...

and find a way out of this mess.

Gosh.

What?

Who is it?

CEO Gong Jin Dan sent these by courier.

CEO Gong Jin Dan?

Goodness me. What's with the flowers?

I can't believe it.

Wait. This is a Charmes purse.

No way.

This is a limited edition Charmes purse.

My gosh.

He sent over a purse that cost over 20,000 dollars.

Who on earth is this CEO Gong Jin Dan?

I'm busy as is with my scenes and the lines I have to memorize.

Who on earth are we meeting today?

The CEO of Angel Investments.

We should meet him at least once to extend our gratitude...

since he's been exceptionally good to you.

What? Did you hound me to get my makeup done...

because we were going to meet with him?

Also, who are you to set this up without asking me first?

You would've postponed it if I had asked.

Besides, you need to eat, don't you?

Mom, I have a lot of scenes to film today.

Fine.

I get it, so say hello and be on your way.

Come on. The CEO of Angel Investments...

sent you the limited edition purse from Charmes...

and offered a blank check to boost your ego.

Shouldn't you at least express your gratitude?

He'll think you're rude...

if you accept his generosity without thanking him.

Then, make it quick. Okay?

I have a lot of emotional scenes to film today.

All right. I hear you.

Just so you know, CEO Gong Jin Dan...

is the second son of APP Group's late chairman.

So rather than looking uninterested, greet him with a smile.

You have nothing to lose by getting on his good side.

Okay?

Fine.

That darn brat.

Hello.

I'm Gong Jin Dan.

Goodness. Hello.

Hello.

What?

Hold on.

That day outside the salon...

Yes, that's right.

You remember me.

Gosh. You know each other?

What kind of coincidence is this?

Mr. Gong. Thank you so much.

You thought so highly of my Do Ra...

and guaranteed a higher pay.

You even sent flowers and a lovely gift to our home.

A few words aren't enough to show how grateful we are.

Not at all. The honor's mine.

I'd been a huge fan of Do Ra's.

Oh, really?

Yes.

I think I watched all the dramas she was in...

as a child actor.

From "My ID is Gangbuk Beauty" to "Windy Gang Poong."

You watched "Windy Gang Poong" too?

Yes. She spoke the North Korean dialect so well.

I copied what she said and watched on time every week.

"How did you make that long trip?"

"I just did because I missed you."

"If you keep annoying me,"

"I'll rearrange your ribs in a revolutionary way."

My gosh.

Goodness.

- Oh, dear. Your clothes. - What got into me?

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Goodness. This Gong Jin Dan guy.

Why does he keep glancing at Do Ra?

He's so cute.

I have a feeling he's interested in her.

(CEO Gong Jin Dan)

You messed up, Jin Dan.

Why did you speak North Korean?

You should've tried to look good.

Instead, you talked like a fool.

You even talked about rearranging an annoying woman's ribs.

That was just stupid.

I couldn't even cut a steak properly.

I bet they noticed it was because I was nervous.

I feel humiliated.

But still,

Park Do Ra was so pretty.

After that crazy fight,

do you think Snark Do Ra and Cha Bong Soo will come?

I bet ten dollars that they don't.

What about you?

They'll come.

They're professionals who work for pay. They should.

Here they are.

Ms. Park. Thanks for coming.

You and Director Hong came to my house to plead with me.

I had to come.

Plus, I'm the lead.

You're a true professional.

Curly-haired Assistant Director.

Sorry, and thanks for yesterday.

- What? - You lost some hair...

while defending me from Bi Bi.

Why does she always go for the hair first?

You lost a lot, didn't you? Sorry.

It's fine. I have pretty thick hair.

What's the matter?

Well,

the comment about having thick hair.

I think I heard it before.

I'm so darn tired.

("Straightforward Romance")

Bong Soo isn't completely dumb.

He's chewing gum to prepare to shoot a kiss.

He has some manners.

Let's shoot! Standby!

Standby!

Action!

What was that? That's gross!

You psycho!

How dare you slap a man?

- Get over here. - Come on, now.

- What? - Come here.

Director. That punk ate raw garlic.

You disgusting scum. How could you kiss me with garlic?

Let go of me. I want to end it with that witch.

How do you think you'll do that?

Oh, gosh.

Ms. Park.

You two caused us a lot of trouble.

We couldn't shoot yesterday.

And we canceled today's shoot too.

That was...

Dozens of people got here at dawn...

to prepare and set everything up.

Because of you two...

I don't think that's right.

I'm not saying this...

because I side with Mr. Cha.

I was at the scene then,

but what you did...

could easily have been misunderstood.

Regardless of everything else, if it was a misunderstanding,

I think we should smooth it over.

Ms. Park.

The lives and careers...

of so many people depend on this drama.

For the many crew members who work behind the scenes,

and for the viewers who look forward to watching,

could you reconcile with Mr. Cha today...

and resume the shoot?

Please.

Okay.

I thought about it,

and I think I was wrong too.

I'll apologize to Bong Soo.

Will you really?

But he keeps cursing me out.

And trying to hit me.

I'd like you to accompany me...

when I go to apologize.

I can do that.

Thank you.

It's so spicy.

What?

Are you back to slap me?

No. Ms. Park came here,

Mr. Cha,

to apologize to you.

What?

Bong Soo.

I'm sorry for slapping you.

I reacted in a split second before I realized it but...

I sincerely apologize.

And I acted out of line, giving you the wrong idea.

That day, I'd had too much to drink.

I got so drunk, I guess you looked hot.

It's true that I confused you by saying some silly things.

But that was the extent of it.

Nothing happened between us.

I admit that Bi Bi and I are not on great terms,

but we are long-time colleagues.

However much I liked you, I shouldn't have done that.

Anyway,

sorry for doing something that could've been misunderstood.

It was my fault.

I apologize.

I apologize...

for swearing at you.

I knew it.

I must say you two are professional actors.

You know when to be cool and apologetic.

And you know when to accept apologies.

No wonder why you're so successful.

We will resume the shoot after a one-hour break.

Let's do this.

Let's go.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You said you had something to tell me.

What is it? Stop beating around the bush and tell me.

I'm scared when you want to talk to me.

Well...

You know Myung Soo, my friend from high school, right?

What about him?

Don't tell me you want to start a business again.

The thing is,

used phones from Korea are selling like hotcakes...

in Vietnam these days.

It's a roaring business.

So Myung Soo found a new business channel.

He says it's as easy as pie this time.

So I was thinking...

we should get a loan...

of 200,000 dollars against this house.

What are you talking about?

Last time, you took out a loan...

of 300,000 dollars against this house to start a business,

but it completely failed.

Pil Seung is still repaying...

the principal and interest on that.

Don't you even feel bad for him?

How could you think about taking out a loan again?

That's why I want to do this and clear the debt.

Just help me one more time.

I'm sure this one will go well.

Honey, please don't be like this.

I don't want anything from you.

I don't need you to do anything.

Just lay low doing nothing.

Hey.

Sun Young, don't you think you're being too harsh?

He wants to do something as the head of the house.

And you're supposed to give him your full support.

But what did you just say?

You want him to be stuck in his room doing nothing?

It's not like Hyun Chul is a living corpse.

Why would he be stuck in his room?

Mother.

This house is the only thing we have left.

If we throw this away,

our whole family will end up on the streets.

Hey! Stop being so haughty just because you have this house.

Up until he got fired from his job five years ago,

my son provided for the whole family...

as the head of the house.

I get that your father bought this house under your name,

but Hyun Chul has a half-share in this house.

How could you use the house to ride him over like that?

Mother.

When did I use the house to ride him over?

I just want to keep at least this house safe.

While we're on the subject,

though your father passed away,

I'm still really upset with him.

While he was alive,

his son-in-law supported him his whole life.

But how could he...

transfer the title of the house only to you before he passed away?

I mean, he gave just away 30,000 dollars...

to that gold digger so easily.

Mom, why would you bring that up?

- Darn it. - Hey.

Hyun Chul.

Hyun Chul.

Hyun Chul.

Wait, Hyun Chul!

My poor Hyun Chul.

Just because he isn't from a rich family,

he's looked down on by his wife.

That's right. I at least have to...

get the money back.

Is this the right place?

This must be it.

Hey, Do Ra's mom.

Why do you look so surprised?

Did you see a ghost or what?

I really don't want to do the kissing scene.

What do we do?

Do you want me to do it for you?

- Will you? - Okay.

This is for you.

Assistant Director Ko.

What's this?

How did you know I wanted to have ice cream?

You apologize to Mr. Cha for our drama's sake.

And you finished the tricky scene in one go.

So I wanted to thank you.

I read an article about how you eat ice cream...

when you're upset.

I hope it makes you feel better.

That's so sweet.

This is really touching.

This is no big deal.

I should get going then.

Wait, Assistant Director Ko Pil Seung.

Thank you for everything.

It's nothing.

You keep helping me in tough situations.

At the club, when Bi Bi made a scene,

and even when Bong Soo was about to hit me.

I was just...

trying to protect the female lead of our drama.

That's what I do.

I'll try my best for this drama to repay your kindness.

So don't worry.

I won't give you a hard time.

Thank you so much. I'll work hard.

It's fine.

I have more than enough hair to spare.

That's right.

That's what Dae Chung said back then.

Would Dae Chung be doing well?

I wonder what he does.

Ms. Park, please get ready for the next scene.

This is really strange.

Why does the Curly-haired Assistant Director...

keep reminding me of Dae Chung?

Is this ready?

Is it because...

his hair looks like Dae Chung's?

Wait.

Ko Dae Chung.

Ko Pil Seung.

What? They have the same surnames.

Let's begin. Stand by.

Please go this way.

It's good to be out in the fresh air.

Today is going to be...

That's because of the camera angle.

Assistant Director Ko.

Wait, Assistant Director Ko.

- I have something to ask you. - My gosh.

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

Be patient.

I'll get you some money to start the business.

How would you do that?

Working with the grumpy actors is just killing me.

What would I have done without you?

You will make a great director.

He gave me flowers...

and took my place in a scene dressed as a woman...

so that I wouldn't get hurt.

Does he have a crush on me?
