(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

But putting up with her isn't a stroll in the park.

I now get why people call her Snark Do Ra.

I lose my mind dozens of times a day!

Park...

Park...

Ms. Park?

What just happened?

How did she show up from behind there?

How...

You've got to be kidding me.

- Hey, it's... - Wait!

She'd have to be a ghost to show up from behind that.

As if it was her you actually saw.

Ms. Park, wait.

Ms. Park!

Jae Dong, wait.

Jae Dong, hold on.

Ms. Park!

Stop!

He has some nerve running after you like this.

What will it be, Do Ra? Should I pull over?

- Ms. Park! - Keep driving.

- Sure. - Stop right there!

Ms. Park!

Ms. Park.

- The number is unavailable. - What do I do?

What am I going to do?

You moron!

Bong Soo, come on.

I didn't do it because I wanted to.

It was to make your life easier.

Catering to her every whim will make things easier for you.

But putting up with her isn't a stroll in the park.

I now get why people call her Snark Do Ra.

I lose my mind dozens of times a day!

Ko Pil Seung, you!

Why did you say such things, you moron?

What now?

What am I going to do?

What am I going to do about this?

My gosh. What's up with Pil Seung?

Goodness.

Just leave him be and pretend you heard nothing.

Hold on. Something must be up at work.

Could he have made a big mistake?

Was he reprimanded for it?

If not... Could someone be bullying him at work?

Come on. There isn't a job that is easy to manage.

You're supposed to withstand the good and the bad...

and experience everything that comes your way.

He's still a rookie assistant director,

so he must walk on eggshells around the director and actors.

He hasn't spoken to us about it,

but I'm sure he's being put through the wringer.

It's not just Pil Seung who has a tough time.

Besides, he won't be a rookie assistant director forever.

After a few projects,

he'll get to play the seniority card too.

As if it's a big deal.

Gosh, this is upsetting.

It's not like I can do the work for him.

Ju Hee, are you getting married?

Yes.

So stop thinking you still have a chance with me...

and don't contact me again.

My boo won't like it.

Were you cheating on me?

How can it be cheating...

when I never reciprocated your feelings?

Why can't it be me?

When I proposed to you, you said you didn't want to marry.

How does a wedding invitation make sense right now?

Why can it be him and not me?

Do Sik,

he has the ability to make my dreams come true.

We agreed to study abroad together.

I can do that as well.

My baby brother's currently studying abroad.

Don't be like that and let me take you instead.

Have you lost your mind?

He's only two years my senior.

Meanwhile, you're eight years older than me.

Do Sik, stop being so clingy.

I wish you well.

Ju Hee, I...

The night breeze sure is refreshing.

No way.

It's like a scene from a romantic comedy.

It seems as though we click.

Let's meet up every Wednesday.

Friends? Okay, I'm down with that.

On Wednesdays, let there be red roses!

Goodness. Am I drunk?

Or have I gone crazy?

Why am I thinking of the jerk...

who dumped me, calling it a mistake?

Darn it.

Why don't I hate that jerk?

Why do I keep missing him?

Why?

You evil witch!

How could you...

crush my pure love for you like this?

Why is it him...

but not me?

My gosh.

That man must be hurt too.

Fine.

Leave. Go away.

How sad must he be to react like that?

What's up with him?

Is he going to die?

No. You can't. No!

Hey! Don't!

Wait!

You can't do this.

Who's this?

What are you doing out here? Why are you here?

Ju Hee.

Hey.

I knew you'd come.

Don't go anywhere now.

Stay by my side.

Fine.

I'll be there by your side.

What happened?

Why on earth am I here with her again?

Do Sik, what's the matter with you?

No, I can't waste time.

I must get out of here before she wakes up.

She's a psycho.

Goodness.

What? You want to run away again?

Don't do this. Let go so we can talk.

Are you a weirdo? A psycho?

Why did you tie us together with my tie?

In case you did this again.

Once is a mistake, but twice isn't.

What? Are you going to call it a mistake again?

Come on.

I'm really sorry. Will you let me off?

The situation tells me...

I went and made another mistake.

I really don't remember...

what happened last night and why we're here.

Yesterday, due to personal reasons, I had a lot to drink.

I wasn't in my right mind.

I don't know if I went and messed up...

while I was black-out drunk.

Please let me go.

Please cut me loose.

Why are you doing this to me?

Fine. I don't want to do this anymore.

Leave! Get out!

Darn it.

It's my fault for falling for a jerk like him.

Let's forget about him.

Yes.

I'll erase him from my memory.

I'll erase him.

Chairman Gong and Jin Dan. Have a good day at work.

Take care.

- I'm off, then, Auntie. - Okay.

Mother.

Okay. Have a nice day, Chairman Gong.

You too, Jin Dan.

(Queen Mother)

Hello, Queen Mother.

Jin Dan. Did you hear that?

Your brother called me "Mother."

Of course I heard it. I was right there.

Jin Dan. I'm so pleased, I think my heart will explode.

To think that Jin Taek finally called you "Mother."

Mom. It felt weird when I heard that.

It was touching too.

I'm glad I put up with the insult until now.

I went from living in the cold shadows...

to moving to the warm sunshine.

Anyway, I'm so pleased.

I'm pleased that you're pleased.

Son. What's wrong with your sister-in-law?

She's the only one who won't call me "Mother."

I can't stand her.

I'm sure she'll come around soon.

Jin Taek called you "Mother."

What choice does she have?

So Mom. Don't go picking fights with her, okay?

I won't, son.

Have a great day.

Hey. Are you going out?

Yes. I'm going out.

What?

"I'm going out?"

Soo Yeon. Did you just talk down at me?

I'm going out to run some errands.

Soo Yeon. Why won't you say "Mother" too?

Your husband called me that politely.

Why won't you?

Will you grow a thorn if you say "Mother?"

Will your mouth blister?

Okay, fine, Mother, Mother, Mother.

I'm going out, Mother, Mother, Mother.

Will that do?

My goodness. What was that about?

Is that the quota for the day?

She doesn't want to acknowledge me that bad?

Fine. Wait and see.

I'll teach you a lesson somehow.

She has to pay.

Why does Mistress Grandma Hong treat Mom like that?

I'll make her pay.

Ms. Park. Did you read the text I sent?

I texted you because you didn't pick up.

I offended you, didn't I?

I don't want to see you, so get lost.

I can't make an excuse even if I had a hundred mouths to use.

But I didn't say that because I hated you,

or because you really drove me insane.

You and Mr. Cha kept butting heads,

and it messed with our filming schedule.

I wanted to somehow complete the shoot...

So you kept switching sides?

Sweet-talking me and then him, which is not nice at all?

I'm sorry.

So...

you know you were in the wrong.

Yes.

But all I cared about was the project.

What?

You did that for the project?

What is wrong with you?

I can't work with a lowlife like you.

So get out of my sight.

Right now!

- Ms. Park. - Get him out of here!

Please!

Goodness.

Pil Seung.

How did you end up saying that?

It's all your fault.

You told me to go between the two so we could...

film on schedule.

You fool. Is that all you heard?

I warned you.

Places with sliding doors, alleys, toilets.

When talking in such places, see if the coast's clear first.

Check multiple times...

that you're alone before you talk.

The next room was empty when we went in.

Okay, fine.

I'll handle Park Do Ra from now on.

You work on Cha Bong Soo.

Do Ra looked really furious earlier.

What if she refuses to shoot again because of you?

That would be a disaster.

So make sure to lie low and stay out of her sight...

for the time being, okay?

I get it.

All right.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

Ko Pil Seung.

What is it that I just saw?

Auntie Myung Dong.

Pil Seung, let go of me.

I swear I will teach Park Do Ra, that brat, a lesson.

Auntie Myung Dong, will you please calm down?

Hey! How can I possibly calm down now?

I just saw what Park Do Ra did to you with my own eyes.

Park Do Ra is such an evil wench.

When she was our tenant, I was nothing but nice to her,

buying her hairpins and hotteok.

How could she return evil for good like that?

Who on earth is she to harass you like that?

This is unacceptable.

I can never let this slide.

I'm going to kill her today.

Auntie Myung Dong.

Do Ra doesn't know I'm Ko Dae Chung.

What? She doesn't?

Why not? How does she not know?

I changed my name.

But still...

- Are you sure she doesn't know? - Yes.

We know Do Ra because we see her on TV every day.

But she didn't see me for 15 years.

And my face looks different now.

Actually, I pretended I didn't know her.

If she finds out, I'll be uncomfortable at work.

Still, I just can't let go of this.

Just wait till your mom finds out...

how you've been letting her treat you.

Your mom will faint from the shock.

I'm so furious that I can't take this anymore.

Auntie Myung Dong, I'm begging you.

Pretend you didn't see anything and leave, please.

No one here knows...

that Do Ra and I used to live in the same building.

Auntie Myung Dong.

Things are already hard for me.

Don't make it worse.

I'm begging you.

This is really driving me crazy.

It's so upsetting.

Darn it.

Auntie Myung Dong.

Don't tell Mom about what happened today.

Okay?

I can't promise anything.

My gosh.

It's already hard for me, and now Auntie Myung Dong knows.

Darn it! Nothing's working out here!

Stay out of my sight.

If I ever catch a glimpse of you,

I'll kill you!

Cut. Not good enough.

Do Ra, you're being too emotional.

And your lines don't say "I'll kill you."

- No, right? - Give me the script.

- Did I miss something? - Try to suppress your feelings.

We will take a short break.

I'm hungry.

She's upset with me, and she's taking it out on him.

Do Ra doesn't usually make a mistake like that.

She must be feeling so furious and betrayed now.

Jae Dong, wait.

Who are you? Why are you talking to me?

Please get your hands off me.

Why are you being like this to me?

Jae Dong, please help me.

Please tell Ms. Park...

that I didn't say such a thing because I hated her.

Assistant Director Ko Pil Seung.

I was behind the sliding door yesterday.

Assistant Director Ko, it was so mean of you to say that.

When I heard you talk behind Do Ra's back yesterday,

I was so hurt that I couldn't sleep all night.

Even I'm so upset. I can't even imagine how Do Ra is feeling.

I told Do Ra not to trust you.

I even said you were talking behind her back with Cha Bong Soo.

But when Do Ra heard that, she scolded me...

saying that was the last thing you would do.

How could you stab her in the back like that?

You don't want to live like that.

What a bat.

I know it sounds like an excuse,

but you know the situation I'm in.

I'm an understrapper here.

I just do as I'm told,

and I should cater to everyone's whim.

I never get to say no.

That's my job, you know.

It's not like I said such a thing because I wanted to.

It's my job to please the actors...

so we can finish this project without a hitch.

That's how it happened.

It's not true that I hold grudges against her.

Jae Dong, you're just like me.

You understand where I'm coming from.

That's just...

I don't know. Don't say anything like that to me.

Park Do Ra used to like tteokbokki.

Will this spicy tteokbokki help her feel better?

Ma'am, please give me a generous serving of the sauce.

I'll have the fish cake to go too. Make sure to keep it warm.

Okay.

Jin Gu.

What's all this?

Our main investor, CEO Gong Jin Dan of Angel Investment...

sent us a hotel-style food truck.

Did you buy a lot?

What?

What's going on?

CEO Gong Jin Dan is here to watch the shoot?

Hello, Mr. Gong.

Hello, Ms. Park.

I sent a food truck to support you on set,

and I wanted to see if everything was all right.

I thought I should support you in person too.

Everyone was excited to see the food truck.

Thank you so much for your kind gesture, Mr. Gong.

Thanks to you, we will be able to finish it well today.

Oh, right.

Director Hong...

Hey, hurry and go somewhere else.

Just go.

Try this shrimp.

- Okay. - It's good.

It tastes really good.

Please have some, Mr. Gong.

Is it because the chefs freshly cooked this here?

It's so tender and tasty.

I'm glad you like the food.

Please enjoy it and keep up the good work.

Of course. We'll try our best.

Oh, dear.

Try some of this.

Thank you, Jae Dong.

Gosh.

But, Jae Dong, I don't need any of this.

Just put in a good word for me with Ms. Park.

Don't expect that to happen.

Once Do Ra gets mad, she holds grudges for long.

And you should go somewhere...

where Do Ra can't find you.

Like under the truck.

Do Ra might want to throw away your food.

Okay?

(We wish the success of "Straightforward Romance.")

(We wish the success of "Straightforward Romance.")

Mr. Gong.

I appreciate everything you've done for our drama.

But I feel bad that I didn't get you anything though.

I'm a little embarrassed,

and I'm not sure if this is okay.

What do you mean you didn't get me anything?

You're trying your best as the lead role of the drama.

And...

I really like this tie you got me.

Pardon?

A tie? What are you talking about?

This tie. I was told...

you picked this for me.

I did?

Mi Ja, I received the interest for this month.

It's nice that you kept your promise.

You didn't have to call me. I just did what I was supposed to do.

I'm just grateful that you sent the money on time.

I expect you to do the same next month.

I told you not to worry about the interest I owe.

Of course. I'm not worried at all.

Anyway, have a good day.

Sure.

I paid the largest amount of interest I owed...

and returned the money I borrowed from Ms. Song.

I also paid Ms. Ma back,

so I guess I'm set for the month.

Darn it.

Receiving Do Ra's payment for her series in advance...

put out the fire for now,

but what am I going to do next month?

Gosh.

How did I get myself into this mess?

Mr. Gong sent a food truck for the entire crew,

and it was a top-class buffet.

My gosh.

He operates on a scale like no other.

I knew it. He has a crush on Do Ra.

That's right.

He's the one that'll dig me out of my mess.

Once he and Do Ra end up as a couple,

my debt won't be a problem for me.

Hey, Do Ra.

Yes, I saw the photos of the buffet that Mr. Gong sent your way.

It was like he warped a hotel buffet over there.

You need to thank him for his generosity.

Say you'll treat him to dinner.

Mom, it's about the necktie you got for Mr. Gong.

Did you say I picked it out?

Why would you lie to him about that?

The necktie?

Did you correct him by any chance?

How could I say I picked it out when I knew nothing about it?

You should've taken the hint and played along.

How can you be this daft?

Hello?

What a brat. She just hung up on me.

Oh, dear.

What if he ends up being disappointed with me?

Mr. Gong.

The necktie I got you the other day.

I'm sorry I lied...

about Do Ra picking it out herself.

Right.

Is that why you wanted to see me?

I was so impressed by you...

that I lied in hopes of you and Do Ra getting closer.

If I'm being honest,

you do seem a little interested in my Do Ra.

Do you really want me to have a relationship with her?

Of course.

I picked the necktie out myself,

but my deepest wishes went into the process...

of choosing it for you.

Ms. Baek.

I mean, Mother.

Help me get together with Ms. Park.

You were right to assume that I have feelings for her.

Goodness.

Is that true, Mr. Gong?

Gosh.

Mr. Gong!

My gosh. I can't believe it.

Goodness me.

Gosh, look at my glowing skin.

It must be due to my recent skincare routine.

Anyway, the makeup is sticking like glue.

Gosh, what the...

My gosh. What is this?

What on earth is this?

Goodness me.

Wait, this is gum.

In here. Ms. Yeoju!

Yes?

My gosh.

What's wrong, Ms. Hong?

Gosh, what is it? What's wrong?

Auntie, look at this.

- My gosh. - What is that?

It looks like gum.

Who on earth would chew this much gum?

Who could've done this?

Who else in this family would do such a thing?

Gong Ma Ri!

Gong Ma Ri.

Did you really stick gum on your grandmother's chair?

Yes.

Why?

Why did you do that?

Because the Mistress Grandma Hong was stressing my mom out...

by calling her "daughter-in-law."

Put yourself in my mom's shoes.

How would it feel to be forced...

to call your friend your mother-in-law...

while she calls you her daughter-in-law?

I'd be sick to my stomach.

My gosh. I never forced her.

Ma Ri, that doesn't give you the right...

to upset your elder this way.

She's right, Ma Ri.

You're too old for pranks like this.

That's enough.

There's no point in telling off a mentally impaired child.

Great Auntie, I'm not a fool.

Don't treat me as one.

What?

Also, Mistress Grandma Hong, don't bully my mom again.

I can forgive everything else,

but not you making her life miserable.

Do that again,

and I'll smear superglue on your chair instead of gum...

so that your butt sticks to it forever.

Ma Ri!

Goodness.

Oh, dear.

My gosh.

Goodness.

What could your plans be for the future?

Thinking about our family and the company...

keeps me up at night.

Auntie, please don't worry.

I have thoughts on how to handle the matter.

Is that so?

Do tell, then. I'd love to hear about them.

She only needs to marry a decent man.

I've been looking...

for a decent man who'll be a good fit for the family.

What did you just say? A son-in-law?

Are you saying you'd give away the company...

that has been in our family for three generations...

to someone with a different surname?

How can you even say that?

What's so wrong about that?

Ma Ri will marry and have children of her own.

Then, all will be settled.

So?

Will Ma Ri's children have Gong for their surname?

Ma Ri's children are as good as mine.

What?

Until she marries and has children,

and they grow up...

to inherit the company,

I will continue to run it in good health,

so don't worry too much.

Anyway, I have a meeting to get to.

I'll head to the office and be back.

Right.

What was that?

A son-in-law?

What kind of nonsense is that?

My gosh.

- Hyun Chul. - Hey, Mom.

What is this about?

Why did you ask to see me outside?

Did something go wrong?

I feel like my heart will stop beating at any second.

As if it would've gone wrong.

Let me show you.

Myung Soo wired 1,000 dollars in dividends.

Goodness me. 1,000 dollars in dividends?

That's right.

This time around, the investment is solid.

You only invested 50,000 dollars a few days ago,

but you already got 1,000 dollars in return?

That's right.

You said the used phone business...

was a blue ocean in Vietnam,

and I guess you were right.

I said it was solid this time around.

Goodness.

If you had 100,000 dollars, you would've earned 2,000 dollars.

- Right. - What a shame.

I should've gotten 100,000 dollars...

from that minx at all costs.

Mom, Sun Young will throw a fit...

if she finds out about this money,

so let's not get greedy.

Sure. You're absolutely right.

Gosh, check out the color on these.

They're so good.

Here.

Right.

- It's good. - All right.

This has been grilled to perfection.

Here you go. Open wide.

How is it, my lady?

- Need I say more? It's delicious. - Right?

It melts in your mouth with it being tenderloin.

Gosh. Am I invisible to you?

Goodness. Here you go, Queen Mother.

One must ask how it is.

Gosh.

It must be because my son bought it with the money he earned,

but this is absolutely delicious.

- Right? - Myung Dong.

Eat up as well.

Here.

- I've been doing just that. - Go ahead.

Here.

You've been leaving the house in a suit for days now.

Have you been working part-time?

What?

Yes, that's what I said.

How many times must you ask me that?

I'm thrilled, that's all.

When was the last time you brought home money...

that you actually earned?

It's also been a while since you bought me a gift like this.

You two are being silly, if you ask me.

Who wears scarves while grilling meat...

when it's only going to make them smell?

I don't mind if mine smells.

I won't take off the scarf my son bought for me...

even when I go to bed at night.

Same here.

I'm home.

- Hey. - Hey.

- My son. - You're home.

You're back. Join us for dinner.

Pil Seung, get changed and hurry back down.

Your dad bought beef for the family today.

- Sure. - Good.

Hurry back down, then.

I'll get changed and head back down.

Was Park Do Ra on your case again?

Is that it?

I can't let this slide.

I'll have to meet her myself.

Auntie,

why would you meet her?

Can you please turn a blind eye?

I'm fine, okay? It's all right.

This isn't the face of someone who looks fine.

I was fuming about what I saw earlier today...

that I couldn't tell...

if the beef was going through my mouth or nose.

That's how distracted I've been.

My blood boils when I think about how Park Do Ra treated you.

How dare she bite your head off in front of all those people?

So what if she's a top celebrity?

Who is she to have you fired?

The fact that you've been groveling at her feet...

taking this much crap from her...

hurts my pride and ego.

What on earth are you talking about?

- Mom. - Sun Young.

What were you saying just now?

Pil Seung.

Have you been working with Park Do Ra?

Myung Dong,

you said Park Do Ra was biting his head off.

What on earth did I just hear?

What in the world is all this?

Ko Pil Seung, tell me the truth this instant.

Gosh.

Honey.

Have some water and calm down.

As if I could calm down right now.

Park Do Ra, that brat, has been biting our son's head off.

Our son has been groveling at her feet,

has been humiliated by her,

and is at her beck and call.

That came out wrong on my part, Sun Young.

He's not at her beck and call.

Pil Seung, have you lost your mind?

How can you work with her and let her humiliate you?

You should've been against it...

and you should've asked to be moved to a different team.

I wasn't going to work on the show...

when I first heard Park Do Ra was the lead.

But...

I had no choice.

Exactly. That's how it is at the office.

You do as you're told by your boss.

How could he possibly ask to be moved around...

when he's basically a new recruit?

Absolutely. Yes, of course.

Still, it's a relief...

that Park Do Ra didn't recognize him.

Hyun Chul, don't you agree?

What?

Oh, right.

This couldn't be more upsetting.

Park Do Ra, how dare she?

Who is she to harass my son?

Goodness.

Mom,

Do Ra doesn't know who I really am.

On set,

she's an A-list star and I'm the rookie assistant director.

However, I wronged her.

So for what I did wrong,

I should take responsibility and handle the repercussions.

Mom, Dad, Grandma, Auntie,

don't worry too much.

I'll handle it well, and I'm fine.

Gosh, what on earth is all this?

My head is killing me.

He's right, Sun Young.

Come to think of it, he's absolutely right.

It's not like he has control over what happens.

Besides, they are done filming half of the episodes,

and things will be over soon.

They won't run into each other again once they wrap this up.

Exactly.

Pil Seung will handle everything. Okay?

Do Ra.

I feel bad...

for Assistant Director Ko.

He only did what he did because he was told to do so.

Keeping Cha Bong Soo in a good mood would help filming go smoothly.

It's why he did it.

I don't think he said those things because he hates you.

Don't mention him to me ever again.

I don't want to hear it.

Also, don't go around talking to him anymore.

Got it?

Right. I get it, Do Ra.

Do Ra, we're here.

You should head home.

What? But you'll be drinking.

I'll wait for you.

It's fine. You can go.

It's your mom's birthday today.

Her gift is in the back. Make sure she gets it.

Off you go.

But...

Ms. Baek, it's Jae Dong.

But putting up with her isn't a stroll in the park.

I now get why people call her Snark Do Ra.

I lose my mind dozens of times a day!

I wanted to somehow complete the shoot...

How dare you play games with me?

You traitor. You lowlife.

No one can be trusted in this world.

Aren't you Park Do Ra?

- That's me. - Wait.

It really is you.

I can't believe I ran into you here.

What a coincidence.

Mr. Gong, my gosh.

What brings you here?

It's one of the places I come to...

when I wish to drink alone after work.

Same here.

I love how quiet and private this place is,

so I come here when I wish to have drinks.

Gosh.

This is fascinating though.

I can't believe I met you here.

Are you here alone? As am I.

Why don't we drink together...

since it's not every day we cross paths like this?

I'd love that.

You've been so generous to me...

that I've been meaning to buy you drinks.

Drinks will be on me today.

Really?

Gosh, what an honor.

Let's drink.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Please slow down. You already seem pretty tipsy.

It's fine.

We drink to get drunk, don't we?

There are days we wish to be drunk.

You want the alcohol to wash everything away.

Aren't there days like that for you as well?

Of course there are.

We all have such days, don't we?

I checked the filming schedule,

and things are tight with filming almost being over.

You must be exhausted.

It's never the work that's hard.

It's the people around me.

The people?

People?

Has someone been making your life miserable?

Who is it? I'll knock some sense into whoever that is.

- Really? - Of course.

You bet. I'm always your fan.

If anyone bothers you, tell me.

I'll...

sort it out for you.

Gosh.

Mr. Gong, how sweet of you.

Thanks so much for the sentiment.

You're awesome.

Awesome?

What is wrong with you?

Yes.

Let's beg until Do Ra feels better.

Let's go on my knees.

I'm in the wrong.

(Ms. Park Do Ra)

This is where I live.

When did we arrive?

Just now.

Let's go. I'll walk you to the door.

No. I can get home myself.

Thank you for the ride.

Hey.

Look. You almost fell down.

I'll get you into the elevator.

You're so kind, Mr. Gong.

Thank you so much.

It's not a nuisance at all.

- Let's go inside. - Wait.

I think I need to do something.

Okay.

Mr. Gong's not drunk at all,

but why did Do Ra drink so much?

We can't talk tonight, then.

Hey, Yoon Hee.

What?

You're at that hotel?

Okay. I'll be right there. Wait for me.

He must have a girlfriend.

If he has a girlfriend, what was he thinking...

that he accompanied Do Ra until now and got her so drunk?

What is this?

Will you take it and break up or leave it and break up?

Thanks.

I should thank you too.

I hope you really live happily.

Don't call me again.

I'm home, honey.

Hello, darling.

What's that?

This?

Your physical results got me worried,

so I got something for you.

You should take supplements now.

Be sure to take this regularly,

and be careful so you don't trip up.

Goodness.

Okay, thanks.

- I'll take this regularly. - Please do.

By the way, your friend's son.

Your friend Sun Young's son.

Did you say his name is Pil Seung?

Oh, dear.

What's wrong? Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

The bottle slipped out of my hand.

So,

why are you asking about Sun Young's son?

You got his name right. It's Ko Pil Seung.

He suddenly came to mind.

When I saw him last time,

I thought he looked quite reliable.

If our Ma Ri had a brother like him,

how reassuring would that be? I found myself thinking.

You can be so silly.

I can be, right?

I'll get changed.

Why did he suddenly mention Pil Seung?

Why does he wish Ma Ri had a brother like him?

What does that mean?

Is it...

Have you gone senile?

There's a huge age gap between us.

Did you lend me the money to seduce me?

I'll sell my body to pay you back!

Don't you try to pawn off a smelly old man to me.

You can't just say whatever you want!

Father.

Dad. Don't die.

- Don't die, Dad. - Honey.

- What's wrong? - Dad!

Honey.

Dad.

My poor dad.

I feel so sorry for my poor dad.

Honey.

Calm down.

You dreamed about your father.

Relax.

That darn family.

I never wanted to think about them again.

I wouldn't feel better even if...

I got to pull out all of Baek Mi Ja's hair.

That's why I changed the channel whenever Do Ra came on.

Seeing Do Ra reminded me of her mom.

What does that darn family...

have to do with us now?

Why does our Pil Seung have to be...

treated like that by the witch's daughter?

They should beg us for forgiveness.

How dare Do Ra treat Pil Seung like that?

She's still...

so heartbroken.

I can't let her know about the money.

What should I do?

Pil Seung.

Don't think of anything else. Just work hard at the TV station.

You studied so hard to get a job there.

You got in because you wanted to make...

some fun dramas.

Fortunately for us, Do Ra doesn't know who you are.

Even if it's tough, hang in there.

Yes. You said the right thing.

But if Park Do Ra gives you a hard time again,

just tell her who you are.

She won't dare challenge you once she knows you're Ko Dae Chung.

Just expose what Do Ra's mom did.

Okay?

Hey, Sun Young. Why would you say that?

Do Ra didn't do anything wrong.

Her mom did.

Hyun Chul. Isn't that right?

Yes. Well...

Why would you go that far?

Okay. I'll take care of it. Don't you worry.

I served in the specialized search troops.

Victory!

- You're so cute. - Okay.

- Victory. - Victory.

- Well done, son. - Don't worry.

- Thanks. - Bye.

- Do Ra. - What?

Who sent them?

Gong Jin Dan sent them to you.

- Mr. Gong? - Yes.

Ms. Park. Do you feel okay?

I hope these flowers cheer you up and give you energy.

Have a nice day. From Gong Jin Dan.

How does he know you had a drink last night?

Did he accompany you?

Yes. We happened to meet at the bar.

You happened to?

They're so pretty.

- Your phone's ringing. - What?

Take this.

Hello, Mr. Gong.

Yes. I was going to give you a call.

Thank you for the flowers.

I want you to have a good day.

I feel bad to always be on the receiving end.

I owe you for yesterday.

Treat me to a meal next time, then.

Of course, I will.

Thank you.

By the way,

did I make any mistakes yesterday?

What?

My gosh. I did?

Oh, no.

Are you serious?

- What makes her so happy? - Yes. That's horrible.

CEO Gong Jin Dan...

sent a hotel-style food truck yesterday,

and a flower bouquet today.

Isn't it obvious that he's flirting with her?

And Do Ra seems to be falling for that...

since Mr. Gong is rich and assertive.

Actually, most women would fall for a man...

like CEO Gong Jin Dan.

He has a reputation as a womanizer though.

A womanizer?

Did you not know?

He's known to go after new actresses.

Whenever he sees a new actress that looks pretty,

he showers TV commercials and gifts on her...

to win her heart.

Then he breaks up with her before long,

and she weeps and wails because of that.

He has a reputation for being a born womanizer.

What if Do Ra falls for him...

and ends up with a broken heart?

Forget it.

Why do I even bother?

It's not like I'm Do Ra's brother or uncle.

I don't care if she dates Gong Jin Dan or not.

I just want her to get along with Cha Bong Soo well...

until we finish this project.

Hey, Pil Seung.

Go over there so Do Ra can't see you.

I don't want her to make a fuss again,

saying she can't memorize her lines because of you.

I just can't deal with it. Hurry and go.

Just go.

Does Do Ra know that CEO Gong is a womanizer?

Should I tell her or not?

Gosh, this is so tricky.

("Straightforward Romance")

Well...

Ms. Park.

I told you to stay out of my sight.

Then I'll talk to you out of your sight.

What do you think you're doing?

About CEO Gong Jin Dan.

You should know him better before you date him.

Don't go out with him just because he's being nice.

I'm saying this...

as a friend, not as an assistant director.

I'm worried about you.

- Gosh. - Don't you dare mess with me.

"As a friend?"

What kind of friend would talk behind my back like that?

You just change sides for your own interest.

Well... The thing is...

I've been in this field for over 15 years,

and I've met people like you numerous times.

You pretend to be nice...

as if you'd do anything for me.

But you stab me in the back one day.

"I love you, Do Ra."

"I will always be on your side." They would say that.

But once I make a little mistake, they tell me to kill myself...

and post malicious comments.

They criticize me and call me names.

They even make up false rumors.

So I stopped making friends at some point.

I don't become attached to others and I don't trust anyone.

That's how I've lasted for 15 years.

No matter how lonely I am and how tough it is...

No matter how much I miss being with others,

I always kept my distance from them.

Ms. Park.

But I trusted this one person after 15 years.

"I finally met someone decent."

"I think I can trust him."

"I've finally got a good friend," I thought.

I trusted the person named Ko Pil Seung.

But you're no different from the others.

You pretended to be my friend,

but you stabbed me in the back.

Seriously, I never imagined you'd be doing this to me.

I don't want you to show your face to me ever again.

You give me the creeps.

I'm really sorry.

It's all my fault.

What should I do to make you feel better?

I'll do anything. Tell me what to do.

Director Hong.

Didn't I make myself clear?

I can't do the shoot when Assistant Director Ko is around.

When I see his face,

I get upset that I forget all my lines!

Get rid of this crappy bat this instant!

Hey!

What gives you the right to tell them to get rid of him?

I'm not doing this drama without Ko Pil Seung.

I won't!

Director Hong, I'm telling you.

I'll go home if Ko Pil Seung is fired.

Then go home.

That's enough!

I can't take this anymore. I'm not doing this drama.

Hey, wrap things up.

I'm sorry, Jin Gu.

It's my fault.

Are we really wrapping things up here?

Have you lost your mind?

Do you not know how much money we will be throwing away?

Pil Seung.

You should go home and take some time off for the time being.

I'll talk to the station director...

and find you another project to work on.

Are you telling me to quit "Straightforward Romance?"

What else can we do?

They keep making a scene saying they won't do this with you around.

I know you've worked really hard.

Why don't you take some time off and go on a vacation?

Isn't that nice?

Pil Seung, please help me out here.

Jin Gu.

How can you be doing this to me?

What do you think made me end up like this?

Fine. I get it.

I'll quit.

And from this day forward,

we'll never see each other again.

Hey, what do you mean...

we will never see each other again?

Hey. Just take some time off. I'll be in touch.

Pil Seung, I'm sorry.

All right. I did everything I could.

I can't take this anymore.

I don't want to!

No.

Why do I have to quit?

I mean, after everything I've gone through?

I can't let this put a dent in my career.

That's right.

This is the only way...

to get me out of this.

Park Do Ra.

We need to talk.

This is unbelievable.

Did you just call me by my name?

And you're talking down to me.

Have you lost your mind?

Do Ra, just help me this once.

Think about the time we spent together.

Can't you cut me some slack this once?

Mr. Ko Pil Seung. Did you just say the time we spent together?

What time are you talking about?

And how dare you call me Do Ra?

- Director Hong... - Do Ra, it's me. I'm Dae Chung.

Dae Chung.

Ko Dae Chung.

What did you say?

Who?

(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)

He sent a reporter to Chairman Gong's wedding.

The bride by Chairman Gong's side...

How dare he?

I will do this before I die even if it's the last thing I do.

You have nothing but love for the son you didn't give birth to,

but you couldn't care less about your own husband.

If Ms. Park allows it,

I'd gladly be your son-in-law starting tomorrow.

I invested a huge amount without letting Do Ra know and...

How much do you need? Please don't hesitate to tell me.

A wind wave warning has been issued, and we must pack up for the day.

To the dock, everyone!

I didn't get on the boat.

I'm still on that island.

Someone's still here!

- What the... Who... - Stop!
