Open the door!

Open it now!

Did you think I'd just sit still?

Open the door now!

No!

Please!

Please calm down.

Blood!

Just you wait!

Stay right there!

Cut!

That's a cut!

- Hong.
- Yes?

Can the scene with Min-ja stabbing Ho-se
up to the climax be shot in one take?

It won't be easy.

But I'll try.

Good, let's start over.

- Min-ja.
- Yes?

You did great.

This time, grab the kitchen knife first.

Then break the glass and enter the room,

where after a bit of struggle,

- you'll stab Ho-se.
- Okay.

After staring at his lifeless body,

go down the stairs
with a sinister expression.

Keep acting.
We'll try to get it in one take.

- Okay.
- Like this. Got it?

Could you take this?

Is the glass replaced?
All right, get ready.

- Fix my hair.
- Okay.

Here we go. All right.

Ready.

Go!

Open it now!

Please stop this.

You're scaring me!

Hand it over before I kill you!

Now!

Honey, please put that down.

You dirty scoundrels!

SCENE 24 FACTORY

I've had the same dream for days.

Every night,
rolls of film project in my head.

Incredible scenes

replay themselves in my dreams.

They are too vivid for me to ignore.

The pills don't work anymore.

I started with one, then two, then three…

Now I need a full bottle to calm myself.

I need to reshoot.

I'll never escape this torment if I don't.

I know I have a masterpiece on my hands.

It would be a sin
to ignore this out of fear of criticism.

I'm telling you,
people only see what they know.

- Did you order?
- Yes, it's coming.

- Go ahead and eat first.
- No, I'll wait.

I hear you're done shooting, Director Kim.

Is it another racy drama?

At least try to make it classy, you know?

Enough with the trash.

Trash?

Watch your mouth.

What should I call it then?

Apart from your debut,
all you've made is trash.

No, Love Like a Flame was
Director Shin's posthumous work.

That's right.

Kim just got the credit
when he didn't really do anything.

I wrote the entire script,

every single word.

Sure you did.

You just did Director Shin's dirty work.

Some classy film critics you all are.

Try to make something
worthwhile now, won't you?

Stop tarnishing Director Shin's name.

Does he still leech off at Shin's house?

Here.

EARLY 1970S, FALL

Hey, just leave that there.

Where's Manager Kim?

There you are.

Hey, wait.

Don't run off, Manager Kim!

- Hello.
- Hi.

Manager Kim!

- What is it?
- You can't just run away like that.

I didn't tell you on the phone,
but I just need two days.

Why?

This will be a whole new film

if I change the ending just a little.

I've got a masterpiece on my hands.

Who's reshooting what?

I was thinking about changing the ending.

Why?

Filming's finished.

It'll be a masterpiece
if I change the ending.

Why bother?
Just do what you've always done.

Just two days, ma'am.

Call me President.

My husband died ages ago.

Right, President Baek.

Just two days, please.

Will the story still make sense?

I checked the continuity.

There's no problem at all.

What about the censors?

I was hoping President Baek
could pull some strings.

I don't have any strings to pull.
Why don't you ask Mi-do?

Mi-do?

- The set's coming down in two days.
- Why?

Aimless Bullet of Love is shooting.

That's still going on?

It hasn't even started.

I need to get ready
for a work trip to Japan.

Submit it for review tomorrow.

- And if they reject it?
- Then too bad!

I just need two days
before Aimless Bullet of Love starts.

Just two days.

- You know what they're like.
- I don't care.

- Manager Kim.
- Yes?

Go meet with the censorship people.

You go talk to Mi-do
and report back to me, Director Kim.

I'm leaving.

Why bother to reshoot
a perfectly fine movie?

Kill it if it doesn't pass the censors!

Have a safe trip, ma'am!

Mi-do…

Hey, Ms. Kwon.

Or is it Jeong? Kwon?

- It's Kwon.
- Okay.

Where's Mi-do?

Probably at the set.

This is the film set.

- Is that so?
- I see.

It is a very important place.

- Amazing.
- Really?

- There's the director.
- The director!

- Just a moment.
- Excuse me.

Could we take a picture with the director?

Yes, of course. Please give me a moment.

- All right.
- Thank you.

The investors from Japan
want a picture with you.

- Okay.
- Come this way.

Can we talk for a moment first?

I want to shoot Cobweb for two more days.

Aren't you done?

I missed something important.

I can turn this thing into a masterpiece.

- What did my aunt say?
- She said to talk to you.

This company was your father's
and it'll be yours soon.

My aunt steadied the ship.

President Baek
only cares about money, not film.

Filmmaking shouldn't be a business.

You need to take over.

Baek's just lucky she managed to
become a director's mistress--

All right.

Let me read the script first.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Really?
- Yeah.

Now, let's go take the picture.

- Do I have to?
- Yes, let's go.

- Excuse me.
- Yes?

This is the director.

- The director?
- The director?

All right, let's take a picture.

One, two, three.

One more.

Say cheese!

Damn it!

How dare those idiots talk about my film?

I didn't pour my blood, sweat,
and tears into this thing

just for those bastards to pick it apart
and whine about this and that.

Criticism is an act of revenge by those
who have failed to become artists.

Just two more days
and I'll make a masterpiece

that exposes the irrationality of man.

Everyone will praise it
and say I've surpassed my debut feature.

I'm going to shock the audience
with a breathtaking conflict.

Each character will try to
hide their hideous irrationality,

but I'll expose
the dirty laundry of humanity

with heart-stopping scenes.

What?

Why are you standing there?

Where have you been?

It's all over now.

You and this whole family.

What do you mean, honey?

Answer him.

What are you talking about?

Do you still think
I'm your son's little plaything?

No woman has ever lasted in this family!

This will show you.

Yes?

Hello?

Director Kim!

What?

It's this phone.

What?

It's for you!

I see.

Who is it?

- Is it Manager Kim?
- Yes.

Hey, Manager Kim.

- Hello?
- Just a moment.

Hey, quiet!

- You mean me?
- No, not you.

All right.

I just met with the censors.

They said it's too anti-establishment

and would harm public morals,
so they rejected it.

They got all up in arms

- about the completely changed script.
- I only changed the last few pages.

I know it's a strange film.

- But you should've persuaded them.
- What?

I'm sorry,

but there's nothing we can do.

You know how easy it is
to get arrested these days!

- There's no way.
- Come on,

it's not anti-establishment!

- Let's talk later.
- It's really not--

Hello?

I just need two days.

Just two days.

I know I'll suffer for the rest of my life
if I can't shoot this.

I'll get spit on and criticized
for being a trashy director.

Dear God,

if you really exist,
please hear my desperate prayer.

Dear God…

Mi-do?

- Director Kim.
- Yes?

I read the script.

You did? What did you think?

It's amazing.

I respect you so much.
I was moved beyond belief.

It's the best!

I thought I was reading Kafka.

- Kafka?
- Yes.

I can tell you studied abroad.

But will you really
end the film like that?

Why, is it bad?

No, it's incredible.

I'm glad you can see it,

but the censors don't agree.

- Just shoot it.
- Can I?

Yes, I have a good feeling about this.

While I was reading the script,

I could feel my heart racing.

I don't think I've read anything better.

Goodness.

This film will be a hit!

Director Kim,

I want to be a part of this masterpiece.

I have a new dream, Director Kim,

and I've made up my mind.

Once I take over this company,
I'm going to apply my major

and become a producer
who supports artists like you.

What was your major?

That doesn't matter!

- Of course.
- What are you doing, Director Kim?

You need to go
film the scenes playing in your head!

Right now!

Right.

- Yes, just one day.
- Here's the script.

- Make me five copies.
- Okay.

- I can vouch for it.
- You need to take this.

- It's much better.
- I'll go get things ready.

Yes?

We'll work around the drama shoot, okay?

Yes, we'll be done quickly.

We have confirmation
from Kang Ho-se, Director Kim!

I got an okay from the Japanese investors.

Really?

So we just need Yu-rim now.

- Yes, we can do it.
- That's great.

Director Kim!

How are you going to
deal with the consequences?

What do I tell President Baek?

Mi-do gave me permission.

Yes, I did.

That's not my point.

We'll all be dead
if the Ministry finds out!

We'll be quiet and quick.

How would that be possible? Director Kim!

Quiet and quick.

Excuse me.

We need to change Min-ja
into a modern woman in the ending.

Not a tragic heroine who
sacrifices herself for husband and family,

but an assertive modern woman
with a keen grasp of economics.

The story is more powerful that way.

That's why she clashes with Madam Oh.

Not just a clash

but an explosive battle of female desire.

The climax will be unprecedented.

So where do we start reshooting?

We'll start with
when Min-ja first meets Madam Oh.

That's pretty early.
Should we get ready now?

We have to start there
to change the ending.

- We'll get ready.
- Let's get to work.

The audience wants something new.

I need to show them
something powerful and unique

that they've never seen before.

SHINSEONG FILM STUDIO

- Hello!
- Hey, everyone.

- Turn the lights!
- Hello.

Thank you.

Do you have a mirror?

- You're here.
- Yes.

Thank you for coming!

Why the reshoot?

Hello, ma'am.

What are we shooting again?

I don't know, I just found out.

Just one day, right?

Hello, ma'am!

I thought it would just be me.

How would they make a movie with just you?

- Hello, Ho-se.
- Looking good, Min-ja.

We've got a lot to go through today,

so move quickly, everyone!

I love the smell of the set!

I haven't been here in a while.

Has it been long?

- Three or four years?
- That long?

Hurry, everyone!

Don't be picky!

If it's not your size,
just switch among yourselves!

- Okay.
- Okay.

Faster, everyone!

Hurry!

Sorry, my coat's here.

You look like a real detective
with that coat on.

I've played the role often.

Weren't you the detective
in Lonely Black Rose?

- Was it Hwang?
- Yes, Chief Hwang.

I played the role for ten years.

You're basically a policeman now!

I even have a jail cell at home.

I try to live
like a detective to play one.

A jail cell?

That's amazing.

You're a true method actor.

It's also where I sleep
when my wife and I fight.

It's quite comfortable.

- Is that so?
- Yes.

I'm ready now.

Same here.

- Shall we move out?
- Let's go.

Seriously?

Everything's changed.

I can't believe it.

- I'll do your hair, ma'am.
- All right.

- Could you come here?
- Excuse me.

- Tuck everything in, okay?
- Yes, ma'am.

It's all different!

My character changes completely
halfway through.

But do you understand this ending?

- Your costume is ready.
- Okay.

It's kind of strange,

but I didn't like
the original ending either.

What on earth does
plan-séquence even mean?

Isn't it French?

It sounds French.

Why use French when there's English?

Exactly.

- The line!
- Yes.

Make it stronger.

Why? Don't leave me.

Don't leave me!

I love you with all my heart.

Yu-rim!

Yu-rim!

Come this way!

Let's go somewhere private.

Let's just shoot first, okay?

I'm exhausted
from shooting my drama all night!

I'm exhausted too,
but we have to get through this!

For how much longer?

What do you want me to do?

I'm doing the best I can here!

Hey, don't cry.

Stop crying.

What if your eyes get swollen?

Please, think of your eyes.

Your makeup's running.

Please get ready to shoot!

I'm sorry.

Just leave it to me.

HAN YU-RIM AND KANG HO-SE
WHAT'S THEIR RELATIONSHIP?

Sun-woo, it's 2 kW.

Be careful!

Makeup's done!

Move the light a bit.

- Should I call the director?
- Sure.

Let's get ready.

- Everyone, get ready.
- Crew members, clear out.

- Please leave.
- Okay.

- Lee!
- Okay.

Lee, come see me.

- We'll get started now!
- Okay.

- Did the actors read the script?
- Yes, I handed them out.

Did anyone not like it?

I'll check, Director Kim.

I bet they did.

Let everyone know the shooting order.

Okay.

- Is the crew here?
- Yes.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Hello.
- Are we ready?

Yes, sir.

- Hello.
- Hello, everyone.

Ready.

Go!

I don't want a daughter-in-law

who neglects housework

or leaves the household in a mess
to work in the factory.

Don't worry.

I will support you
in and out of the household.

Min-ja majored in business, Mother.

She's our manager.

Getting on her wrong side
is a ticket to hell.

Follow me.

This way.

You ever use a sewing machine?

- Yes, though not a lot.
- Ever been pricked?

No.

Be careful or your hand
will end up like this,

frayed and tattered.

The manager will give you
an energy drink after dinner…

After some complications,
I finally resumed shooting.

The shoot must go on.

HOLY RESURRECTION

- What a holy resurrection
- What a holy resurrection

- Rejoice, hallelujah!
- Rejoice, hallelujah!

- Hallelujah, hallelujah
- Hallelujah, hallelujah

- Hallelujah
- Hallelujah

- Jesus Christ has risen
- Jesus Christ has risen

- All glory to the Lord
- All glory to the Lord

I thought I was
in the forest for a moment,

thanks to your voices
as sweet as nightingales.

We'll end here today.

Good work.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Let's go.

I don't think I've seen you.

Are you new?

Yes, I joined yesterday.

Everything must feel
strange and unfamiliar.

Come see me anytime
if you ever run into trouble.

Thanks for the offer,
but everyone treats me so well.

I'm doing quite fine.

Goodness.

Your hands are as beautiful
as the sound of the organ.

You have a way with words.

Would you like to learn how to play?

If so, I'm always available.

Shall we?

Cut, okay.

- That's an okay!
- What am I supposed to feel here?

It's so hard to act this out.

Plus, I've never played the organ.

You should've practiced more.

Even the greats
practice 1000 times, you know?

I just got the script
an hour ago, Director Kim.

Well, practice once
like it's your thousandth time.

- What does that mean?
- Please get ready.

Bring my jacket.

Practice once
like it's my thousandth time?

Director Kim.

- Director Kim.
- Yes?

How do we shoot
all these changes in a day?

A day?

It'll take two days.

What did you just say?

I was told it was just a day.

What?

Everyone was busy,
so I said it would only take one day.

My apologies!

So you lied to us?

Two days?

I have another shoot to go to.

We'll shoot your scenes first.

No, I'll get in trouble!

I'm leaving.

- Director Kim, look here.
- You can't just go!

We need to talk.

Yu-rim!

Hey, Yu-rim.

Yu-rim.

Yu-rim!

- This is breathtaking.
- They did a good job.

Look at the mise en scène.

- Amazing.
- Yu-rim!

Yu-rim!

Yu-rim, wait!

Yu-rim!

I'm so sorry.

Please help Director Kim just once.

You should've told me
it would be two days.

What am I supposed to do
about my drama schedule?

- I have to go.
- Wait, Yu-rim.

This is my last time with him.

I'm working with
Director Lee Man-hui next.

I'll make sure to get you a role.

So just help out
Director Kim for the last time.

I barely get any sleep
from shooting the drama!

Hey, Han Yu-rim.

Director Kim
gave you that name, didn't he?

Stop telling me that!

I hate that name.

And why is my character's name Yu-rim too?

He says it'll help you
get into the character more.

What? I have to go.

Mi-do, what are you doing?

What was that for?

You ungrateful bitch.

What?

Who took a cheap waitress like you

and turned you into a star?

I blew up because of dramas,
not Director Kim!

How dare you hit me?

Hey, Mi-do.

Yu-rim just threw a small tantrum.

And you're going to let that slide?

I'm leaving!

This isn't just a tantrum!

- Hey.
- My hair!

- Let go of my hair!
- Let go!

Hey.

I won't let you ruin this masterpiece.

Some masterpiece this is.

Why is he reshooting it then?

Can a slut like you
even recognize a masterpiece?

A slut?

- Stop it!
- Calm down!

Stupid bitch!

- Come at me!
- Hey, stop!

- Get a piece of this!
- Let go!

- Let her go!
- Come on, let's go.

Please.

- What did she say to me?
- What's wrong with you?

Come here.

Please, Mi-do.

How could you hit an actress?

I grew up tough.

That's not the problem here.

The Ministry heard about our shoot.

What's your plan?

You take care of it, Manager Kim.

Take care of it how?

Just buy us some time!

We've got a masterpiece on our hands!

We're going against the censors here.

If we get caught, we're doomed!

Please take pity on Director Kim
and help him out.

Well, where's the pity for me?

Honestly, I deserve the most pity.

What are you even talking about?

Also, what was with that woman who hit me?

I can't stand to be treated this way.

I didn't know she'd act like that.

LOVE TRIANGLE?

Shouldn't people come first?

- Everybody freeze!
- Mr. Park!

It's the Ministry of Culture!

What brings you here, Mr. Park?

- What's going on here?
- What?

What's with the secret shoot?

Secret?

We're just going by the approved script.

Don't worry about it.

But you're reshooting the ending!

Where's President Baek?

She's in Japan on a work trip.

Let's talk outside.

Who's in charge here then?

- In charge?
- Is it Director Kim?

- No.
- Where is he?

- Everyone, shut this down!
- No, come on.

Mr. Park!

Hey, Mi-do!

Just look the other way
and talk with me outside.

How can I look the other way?

- The chief knows I'm here.
- All right.

I'll talk to the chief, Mr. Park.

This is serious!

A report's been made already.

- Already?
- Wait.

As it happens, I had wanted to treat you.

- Let's go upstairs.
- Me?

I'll get you something good.

- Let's just talk this over slowly
- Something good?

- and come to terms.
- What?

Go on.

I was waiting for you to visit, you know?

What about Manager Kim?

- I'm fine here.
- He has to work.

What happened to your face?

Are you okay?

Yu-rim!

Ho-se feels very conflicted
when it comes to his mother.

In short…

Great timing, Ho-se.

Your mother can't shake the guilt
of her husband's accident.

The more guilty she feels,

the more she desires to be successful.

- The family's misfortune comes from there.
- Director Kim.

Could you let Yu-rim leave?

She isn't in a state to shoot.

But we need Yu-rim.

It's just that the script is too cruel.

What does that mean?

How can a script be cruel?

Well…

Go tell the assistant director
to prepare for the next scene.

Yes, sir.

What is it?

What's wrong?

Yu-rim…

Yu-rim is pregnant.

And the baby's mine.

- You got her pregnant?
- Yes, it just happened.

Didn't you have an affair
with Kim Jin-hee?

That was last year.

Why do you keep cheating?

This is hard on me too.

Please change any scenes
that could be hard for Yu-rim.

I'm begging you.

Why did it have to be…

Why Yu-rim?

- Why?
- Well, why did you have to reshoot?

Why can't you stop cheating?

You're starting to establish yourself
as a lead actor.

Don't you know
how important this is for you?

Get yourself together.

You need to make a choice.

Will it be Yu-rim or your wife?

I can't.

I love Yu-rim but I also love my wife.

Hey!

That's the worst thing you can do.

And that's why it kills me inside.

It must be nice having so much love.

Cover the roof on the second floor.

Just get ready for now.

Express that torment
in front of the camera!

Keep this a secret, all right?

Move the furniture this way
with the light in the center.

What's the next scene?

- Scene 31.
- All right, let's see.

It's the scene where I save Yu-rim.

All right, I got it.

Please love our film too.

I heard Mr. Park's here.

Do we have to shut it down?

No, we don't.

Mi-do's taking care of business in there.

What can she even do?

This is worrying.

Mi-do drinks like a sailor.

She can talk like one too.

Don't worry.

- Will it work out?
- Yes, just wait.

Just keep shooting.

I just hope she doesn't hit him.

- Go and shoot.
- All right.

Cheers!

Drink up!

Keep going, Mr. Park!

What do we do with him?

Keep him here.

And how do we do that?

- Lock the studio up.
- What?

Don't let anybody leave.

Cut all the phone lines too.

Are you kidding me?

One wrong move and it'll be over for us.

I'll take responsibility.

How?

Time to eat. Let's go.

- Come on.
- Okay.

What's gotten into her?

SHINSEONG FILM STUDIO

Sir! This is Yu-rim.

Han Yu-rim.

Yes, hello.

I just had a favor to ask.

Where are the phone lines?

I have an early drama shoot tomorrow,

so I have to get out of here today.

So I was wondering

if you could
send a car over to pick me up.

Really? Thank you!

I'm at…

Shinseo--

Hello?

Hello?

Damn it!

Damn it.

Where's Director Kim?

Hey! Where are you going?

Director Kim!

Why are you doing this to me?

What is it now?

What's with the script?

How did I go from being a war hero
to a factory supervisor to a hunter now?

Well, it's symbolism
for the fall of humanity.

What's a supervisor getting fired
and becoming a hunter

supposed to symbolize?

I didn't want to say this,

but you'd still be an extra if I hadn't
introduced you to Director Shin.

You'd be eating lunch with them.

There you go again with that story.

You promised me ten years ago
that I'd get to play a war hero!

You never even did your military service!

Just play this role

and I guarantee you'll get nominated
at the Grand Bell Awards.

Nominated, my ass.

You know what? I quit!

I never should've shown up.

- Hey.
- Let go!

Your role is so important.

I don't give a rat's ass.

Even Hollywood actors
don't get to play this role!

It's a thousand times better
than being a war hero.

Who locked this door?

Can't you see it?

The pathetic reality of the poor masses
who toil in other houses

until servitude
becomes a stain on their souls.

- Can't you empathize?
- No!

That's a fake gun.

You couldn't even get a real gun?

You bastard.

You won't get far as an actor
being that stupid.

How stupid do you have to be to storm off
from an opportunity like this?

Director Kim.

We need to check Ho-se's costume
for the next scene.

Yu-rim!

You aren't as energetic as you used to be.

I'll have them make bone broth for you.

I'm going to sleep now!

Go to bed with your wife!

My back…

- Get up!
- What's wrong?

Help me!

I'm sick and tired of this.

I'm scared of spiders! Help me!

What's wrong?

Are you okay?

What's with all the racket?

Someone let spiders loose on me.

This woman did it to chase me out!

You're out of your mind.

It's all right, Yu-rim.

Spiders won't kill you.

But that woman will.

I'm so scared, honey.

What? Why did you hit me?

"That woman"?

I'm the lady of this house!

Look.

This woman will cripple you
just like your father.

The women in this house
do that to all the men!

Cut, okay!

Come on!

The way you acted scared felt so real.

I was actually scared.

This can't keep happening.

- Who uses real spiders?
- Next scene.

I told you I hate spiders.

Stop whining, won't you?

Who thought it was a good idea
to use real spiders?

Director Kim told us to…

- Find the spiders.
- Yes, sir.

Over there.

Yu-rim's sick and the baby…

That hurts!

Are you crazy?

What did you say?

I'm sorry.

Move!

Next scene…

- Director Kim.
- Yes?

Please use a double for tough scenes.

We're already doing that. There's no more.

You're doing great.

This is tough.

This is really tough on me.

I know and you're doing great.

We're almost done.

Please be a little more considerate.

Tell me if it gets too tough.

Well, it's tough for me!

It's been tough. I kept telling you!

You can do it, Yu-rim.

- I found one!
- You did?

We need to find the rest!

- Get in there.
- Okay.

There it is!

This is Ho-se's child.

He had it with his mistress, like you did.

Being a playboy must run in your blood.

Come in.

It's all right.

Come here.

Aren't you tired?

Come here and rest.

Get in here!

Cut, okay!

Your acting is unbelievable.

The way you looked at
your precious grandchild.

Why is this movie so corny and dramatic?

Only you could act this out, ma'am.

- Good work.
- Thank you.

The thing about emotion is…

- Director Kim.
- Yes?

Director Kim?

- What?
- Well…

You should come to the office.

What's wrong?

You should see for yourself.

How could you get our actor drunk?

It wasn't me.

What did you say?

You used to get
your actors drunk all the time.

Then you'd dump them in the river
in the middle of winter!

I just followed the director's orders.

That makes it worse.

You used to wash his socks even.

- You washed them with me!
- Calm down.

Director Kim
is Director Shin's only successor!

Successor, my ass.

He kept watch
while Director Shin had affairs.

It was you who introduced him
to those women!

You only succeeded because of his script!

It had nothing to do with you.

I wrote every word of that thing!

How many times do I have to say that?

What a load of bull.

You'd be nothing without Director Shin!

Some war hero you'd be

when you didn't even do military service!

- Damn it!
- You promised me the role!

Stop, Mi-do.

- Hey!
- He'll pass out!

- Hey!
- Stop it!

He can't act anyway!

He's gone.

Hey, wake up!

What the hell do we do now?

And what's this now?

Mr. Park.

What's wrong?

Why are you so drunk?

You better treat me with respect.

You think you can
talk down on me, you little punk?

I'm going to teach you…

My stomach hurts.

- Why'd I drink so much?
- Just lie down here.

That bastard's gone too.

You got him drunk too?

I'll take care of it, don't worry.

Take care of it how?

How could you get him drunk?

I had to keep him here!

What are those pills?

Chief Choi's going to blow
if he shows up here.

What about the hunter?

Can you get Oh Dong-soo on the phone?

It'll take him too long to get here.

That's right.

See if one of our extras looks like him.

We need someone who can act!

Are you kidding me?

What about one of the tall crew members?

No, they won't do.

Just call them up.

- Not anyone can do this.
- Come on!

- They have to act.
- Try them out then.

- Keep your voice down!
- Damn it!

I'll do it.

I'll take his place.

- What?
- What?

I have the lines memorized.
I just need a beard.

I'll probably do better than this punk.

- Take his clothes off.
- What?

Good idea.

I'll get his beard.

That's real.

We need to make one.

I'll go tell the makeup team then.

Have a few guys come up

and get these two locked up somewhere.

Nice idea.

- Get ready for the next scene.
- Okay!

And keep this a secret!

Take his clothes off.

- The lighting…
- Hurry, this way!

- Something's up.
- I guess so.

Something's always up on this set.

You're right.

Do we really have to gag them?

What if they make a sound?

Should I do it?

- Go for it.
- Okay.

You must not touch it.

Director Kim?

Just keep going.

I set many traps here.

Be careful.

You haven't left this town yet?

I spent half my life in this house.

How could I leave?

If you spent half your life like this,

you deserve your fair share.

Neither of us should be driven away
after such a hard life.

Am I wrong?

We were both slaves,

cast away and abandoned.

Do you know what
the worst thing about being a slave is?

Not being able to feel pain.

But to feel pain is to be human!

Because pain is proof of life!

What do I do?

Go talk to him.

Director Kim.

Director Kim.

Shall we cut?

Yes, cut.

Cut here!

Cut!

The lines are so moving.

Take his gun.

How was my acting?

It was incredible!

It was the best.

Is this an okay?

- Yes, okay.
- It's an okay!

Okay!

Was I not bad?

Yes, I guess.

You look like a real hunter
with that costume on.

Why am I so good at this?

- Get ready!
- I was great.

Get ready for the next scene!

My heart's still racing.

Ready.

Go!

What are you doing?

My life is over.

I have no reason to live.

I was cast away
and had my child taken from me.

Get a hold of yourself!

You can't do this.

Leave me be.

I am utterly hopeless.

Your life matters more than anything else.

You want your child back?

Are you going to live
the rest of your life trapping beasts?

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking of taking revenge
on that damned family.

How?

You'll find out soon enough.

I have a very good plan.

I'm so scared and I can't breathe.

Who's there?

Please help me.

What did I do to deserve this?

Something's in my eye.

Yu-rim…

It was you.

I was too foolish.

Forgive me.

We can start a fresh new life.

You're the only one for me.

You abandoned me!

I didn't mean to!

My mother made me do it.

We were lovers, Yu-rim.

We have a baby that looks just like us.

Please, for the baby's sake…

This is it.

I'm glad I did this.

Everyone will be shocked.

No Korean film has ever shown…

Everyone will be shocked.

No Korean film has ever shown

such a breathtaking climax before…

What is that?

- Go check.
- Okay.

What's going on here?

Why are all the doors blocked?

Who said you could shoot this?

Shut this down!

Where's Mi-do?

She's with Mr. Park.

- Mr. Park is here?
- Yes.

This isn't good.

Chief Choi just called.
This is a disaster!

- What?
- Where's Mi-do?

- But…
- And Director Kim?

What happened to you?

I had to fill in.

Who said you could shoot
with an unapproved script?

It was now or never.

You're killing me right now.

This is why no one respects you.

Where's Mi-do?

I told you to talk to her
and report to me.

I didn't say you could shoot!

This is over.

Chief Choi's on his way here.

Shut it down.

Stop the camera, Hong.

Don't do anything! Nobody move!

Are you trying to
live up to Director Shin?

Well, keep dreaming.

Shut everything down.

Everybody leave!

Actors, to the dressing room.

Who's going to pay for this?

I'm not paying a cent.

I guess our great director here
will pay everyone.

Where'd Mi-do run off to?

Where the hell is Mi-do?

Masterpieces don't grow on trees.

- Stop being delusional.
- Director Kim.

Director Kim?

Let's take a break.

Hey, untie me.

Bring me a chair.

DIRECTOR
KIM YEOL

Don't talk to me.

I didn't say anything.

This damned set.

These damned people.

Why the hell?

Why?

Why is everyone out to get me?

Why only me?

3RD GRAND BELL FILM AWARDS

They'll compare me to Director Shin again,

ripping my film apart
without truly understanding it.

I'm screwed.

My career is over before it even started.

It's all over.

What's got you down?

What was that?

Director Shin?

How are you here?

How do you think?

I've always been here.

Everything's the way it was.

My desk, chair, notepad, table,
and even the bookshelf.

I exist because these still exist.

But back to you.

Why are you so angry?

A perfect film is dancing before my eyes,

but I can't shoot it properly.

What's stopping you?

Everything!

Everyone is stopping me.

The censors have my hands tied

and the film industry
keeps mocking me behind my back.

Everything's so hard.

Hey, you.

Filmmaking has never been easy.

Everything looks imperfect and inadequate,

everyone is a stumbling block,

and critics just rip apart
your precious creation.

Tell me.

- Is that the only reason?
- What?

Is there something else?

Something else?

Perhaps…

I'm not talented enough.

Talent.

Talent's nothing special.

Talent is believing in yourself.

You said something
is dancing before your eyes.

Believe in that.

That vision comes from you,
not anybody else.

But everyone keeps saying
I didn't write the script.

Ignore the naysayers.

At the end of the day,
you're the director.

Believe in yourself.

Focus on the sound you hear
rumbling in the depths of your soul.

Can you hear it?

I can.

The sound of your soul!

The sound of joy!

The sound of a storm!

Look, you're on fire.

Director Shin! You're on fire!

Yes, keep the flame alive.

Burn everything!

That's talent!

Reach into your soul and burn it all up!

Work yourself into ashes!

- Believe in yourself.
- You're burning, Director Shin!

Director Shin!

Director Shin!

What happened?

Director Kim.

- What are you doing?
- Just now,

Director Shin came and left.

My uncle?

Yes.

Maybe you had too many pills.

No, I swear it's true.

He sat right here

and gave me a revelation.

He told me to listen to the sound
in the depths of my soul.

The day he passed away,

we had a scene with fire

and the set caught on fire.

Everything's already on fire.
We can't cut here!

We just need 20 seconds!

Keep going, actors.

Pan to the portrait, camera.

- Pan!
- It's too dangerous!

- We have to leave!
- Get out of the way!

- Director Shin!
- Hand me the camera.

- Sir!
- This is good!

Take the actors and leave!

Yes, Director Shin.

It's too dangerous!

Hurry and leave!

Cut, okay!

Take the camera. It's finished!

It's perfect!

It's all perfect!

Director Shin!

He jumped into the flames

just for that one scene.

I get him now.

He believed in himself
no matter the situation.

He risked his life

to prove his faith in himself.

I understand now.

I see.

All right.

Director Kim.

I think I understand now.

I can feel the energy
you had during your debut film.

It's like you went back in time.

Do you think I can do it?

Of course.

There are some flaws
but it's definitely almost perfect.

I know you have it in you.

Speaking of which,
could you step outside for a bit?

My aunt wants to speak to you.

Take this opportunity to show my aunt

you got what it takes.

Got it?

I'll head down first.

Come out when you're ready.

Yes, Director Shin is right.

I need to believe in myself.

I admit I blew my fuse.

But this can't go on.

They'll say this film is dangerous
and morally bankrupt,

even degenerate!

The Ministry did say exactly all of that.

And I don't get the ending.

What the hell is this?

Is it a racy drama, horror,
a disaster pic, or a monster movie?

Who here understood the ending?

Is it just me?

And what's that plan-secance thing?

What was it again?

What is that?

It's when you film
a long scene in one take.

This is driving me nuts.

Look, this right here.

How are you going to
shoot this dangerous scene in one take?

How, Hong?

Is there a plan?

We actually haven't discussed
the specifics yet.

Fine.

That aside,

Chief Choi will be here any minute.

Can you wrap it up before he gets here?

I doubt it.

What if Chief Choi

gets here and asks to see the script?

Then it's over for this film
and this company.

President Baek…

Excuse me.

- What is it?
- I just thought of something.

If the issue here

is Chief Choi asking for the script,

we can tell him
it's an anti-communist film.

That's a good idea.

He's even received a citation
for an anti-communist film.

I'm sure he'll approve.

- I like the idea.
- Me too.

Is that possible?

I'll write up something.

This is our only option.

I need to hear your opinion, Director Kim.

Do you think this is possible?

Believe in me.

We'll get it ready.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

My goodness.

Sometimes, I think he's a genius.

What's your scheme?

What?

The fire scene, the safe…

The strange ending.

Why the changes?

What are you thinking?

I'm just exercising
my cinematic creativity.

You're overreacting, President Baek.

These changes are necessary for this film.

I'm watching you.

If this is what I think it is,

I'm going to burn every inch of film
no matter my losses,

and tell the whole world
the truth about your debut film.

Finish up before Chief Choi arrives.

If anything goes wrong,
you take responsibility.

Hello?

All right.

Is my husband safe?

Yes, I'll tell her.

What?

How could you just hang up?

They're asking for money.

What? How much?

Let's call the police.

Are you crazy?

If we do, he'll die.

Who did this? Yu-rim?

Did that brat hatch this scheme?

It was a man's voice.

He promised to let him go unharmed

if we pay the ransom.

How much do we have on hand?

The investment from the bank
is in the safe,

but I'll have to check the amount.

Hurry!

We don't have time!

If we're late, he might die.

Why are you going with him?

He can handle it.

You should've died that day.

This is all your fault!

I might lose Ho-se because of you!

- Ho-se!
- Mother!

- Ho-se!
- Mother!

What happened to you?

- Who did this?
- Yu-rim.

- What?
- It was Yu-rim.

Yu-rim did this?

I knew it.

What did she do?

I'll explain everything.

Where's Min-ja?

She hasn't returned from the bank.

- Is the money in the safe intact?
- Yes.

That's a relief.

- Goodness.
- Mother.

We need to call the police
and get out of here.

All right, let's go.

Goodness.

Why are you standing there?

Where have you been?

It's all over now.

You and this whole family.

What do you mean, honey?

Answer him.

What are you talking about?

Do you still think
I'm your son's little plaything?

No woman has ever lasted in this family!

Honey.

This will show you.

It's you!

That's right.

The woman you drove out

was my mother!

My mother spent years
as your husband's mistress,

and you kicked her out to the streets
with only spare change in hand.

I've waited 30 years for this day.

I'm going to destroy this family

and take what my mother
and I rightfully deserve.

Today is that day.

What?

Then that means…

you're my half-sister!

Half-sister?

Are you out of your mind?

My father is not your father.

Your mother mistakenly believed
I was your father's daughter!

That's why she drove us out!

What a relief!

No, it's not!

She is your sister!

So you were Min-ja.

How can you suddenly speak?

What on earth are you talking about?

Min-ja is Ho-se's half-sister?

What?

My wife is my half-sister?

No, this can't be.

You are not my father!

This is absurd.

That's all crazy talk!

No!

Min-ja.

You are my daughter.

If you can't believe me,

I know you have seven moles in the shape
of the Big Dipper on your right arm.

Seven moles in the shape of
the Big Dipper?

What?

There's no way.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven…

There are seven.

Seven!

Our family is doomed.

There's no way.

- No!
- This can't be true.

This can't be true.

I can't believe it.

You bastard.

Die!

You don't deserve to live!

You're not even human.

Just die!

Curse him with your eyes!

Be more sinister!

Cut!

- I'm spent.
- That was a good take.

The story's getting too crazy.

That's the only way for it
to be powerful and unique.

I believe in myself.

- That's not reassuring.
- All right.

- This is irritating.
- Did it come out well?

- Yes, it came out great.
- Okay.

Good.

Give me that.

Time to move to the next set!

There's food but not much time,

so eat as you move!

- Your snack, ma'am.
- Leave it there.

Join us.

- We have snacks?
- Have some.

Eat with us.

- We'll eat outside.
- All right.

- Enjoy.
- Thank you.

- Hey.
- Come eat, Ho-se.

Go ahead, ma'am.

- Let me.
- Where are you off to?

Start without me.

- What?
- Go.

Go! I'll handle this.

- Hurry.
- This looks good.

Are you okay, Yu-rim?

Have some food.

- What?
- You should eat.

I don't feel like it.
I'm just going to sleep more.

Come on, eat some first.

- You're not sick, are you?
- I'm not.

Hey, you have a fever.

What if something happens to the baby?

Ho-se.

You're overbearing
when you take care of me.

Stop it.

Overbearing?

It's my duty to take care of you.

Never mind.

Just let me sleep a bit more.

When is this over?

I need to go shoot my drama tomorrow.

Wait here.

- Director Kim.
- Change it like this.

- Director Kim.
- Yes?

Yu-rim has a terrible fever right now.

Could…

Could you shoot Yu-rim's scenes first?

Yu-rim's in the fire scene.

We can't shoot that first.

What's the matter?

- Let me go check.
- Leave her alone.

What's Yu-rim's next scene?

She wanders the woods looking for Ho-se

and gets bloodily caught in a trap.

Then it's the ending
right after, isn't it?

We'll do that scene now

and Yu-rim can rest in between scenes.

Is that good?

An anti-communist film has to be direct
and not subtle like this.

Yu-rim.

- Yu-rim.
- Yes?

They need you.

You need to come now.

Get your shoes on.

Give me your clothes.

Hurry, please.

Is that okay?

Let me fix your clothes.

Just do it after the rehearsal.

Don't put a lot on.

I'll keep it light.

Crew, step aside.

Time for the rehearsal!

Ready.

Go!

Damn it.

Do it properly.

I should never have trusted a man.

- You just wait.
- Damn it.

Cut!

Put some effort in.

Again?

Did she say all her lines?

Why did it feel so short?

Hey.

- Stop half-assing it.
- What?

I'm not going to let someone like you
ruin this masterpiece.

I'm not ruining anything.

I'm sick and taking it easy
during the rehearsal.

Just quit then.
You're not even good at acting.

What?

And I'm allergic to bloody makeup.

Allergic to…

How can you be allergic to fake blood?

- It's a real condition!
- Just quit then!

Let me play Yu-rim, Director Kim.

- Are you crazy?
- Excuse me!

- Stop fighting.
- Yu-rim's going through a tough time.

- Acting isn't a joke.
- Then don't make it one.

I'm allergic!

So your allergy
just popped up out of nowhere?

How would our Yu-rim know that?

- Wipe your mouth.
- She's not a doctor.

- Just be quiet!
- Wait.

Why do you keep saying "our Yu-rim"?

Is there something between you two?

- Calm down.
- I'm speaking in general, okay?

By "our",

- I'm referring to our whole team.
- Whatever.

Shut it.

Try showing some desperation.

I should never have trusted a man.

You just wait.

- I thought someone was there.
- How hard is that?

She really brings the character to life!

I said I'm allergic!

There's no time, so I'll do it.

Stop saying that!
Everybody here is completely nuts!

Are you okay, Yu-rim?

I'm fine.

Hold on.

- I need to rest.
- We're almost there.

Who treats a sick person like this?

Is she a princess or something?

What do we do?

Director Kim,

I'll get ready just in case.

Is Yu-rim still resting?

Yes, she seems very sick.

My goodness.

Today's the only day
we can shoot that scene.

Is Mi-do ready?

I'm ready! Get the cameras rolling.

Is she really ready?

I didn't have much time.

This is the best I can do.

I'll fix you up before the shoot.

Your outfit…

Why is it so tight?

Mi-do's forearms are quite thick.

- They're the same as Yu-rim's.
- Your stomach…

- Is it sticking out?
- What?

- Don't we have other dresses?
- This is the only one.

- Why don't we…
- Where is he?

Where's Mr. Park?

What's with her?

I look the same.

- We need to hurry.
- The same?

- Let's hurry and shoot the scene.
- What?

- Is she really doing it?
- Are you trying to ruin this film?

Yu-rim.

It's dangerous to get upset.

Where's the actress?
Why is she doing this?

Why is she stealing my role?

- Then you do it.
- I'm exhausted.

- Yu-rim's exhausted!
- Just be quiet.

- Exhausted doing what?
- Excuse me?

Be quiet!

Mind your own business.

This is my business.
Yu-rim's carrying a child!

Why would you say that?

What do you mean?

This is my business!
She's pregnant with my baby!

Stop it!

It's not yours!

What the hell is going on?

This is all news to me.

That isn't important right now.

We need to hurry and shoot.

You're still cheating, Ho-se?

Are you serious?

I need…

some time alone.

- Come on, Ho-se.
- Stop it!

Please…

Please leave me alone.

Ho-se!

Let those two handle it.
We have a job to do.

He's too sensitive to leave alone.

- They want to ruin my movie.
- Come with us.

Director Kim.

Wait, why am I here?

Right, Mr. Park.

- Where are you going?
- Ma'am?

You need to do my hair. Come on.

Goodness.

Director Kim's sets
are always a chaotic mess.

Did you hide Mr. Park somewhere?

- Why would I do that?
- Do what?

Jeez, who are you?

I've noticed a link between
this film and the old fire incident.

Sorry about that.

He's into method acting.

Weren't you at the scene then?

Are you a real cop or something?

I live like a detective
for the sake of my acting.

I looked into the incident.

Where's Ho-se?

There's nothing here.

Why would you look into it?

Hey, why'd you cast this man?

- You wanted an actor who plays detectives.
- But not a weirdo like him.

He's famous for playing detectives.

How dare you talk back?

We don't have time.
Let's start shooting right now!

Someone find Mr. Park first!

I pledge my loyalty to you!

Loyalty, my ass.

I can see it in your eyes.

I heard you're going off
to Director Lee Man-hui.

You're mistaken!

Sure, I am. Forget it.

Ho-se!

Is Director Kim always like that?

Don't ask me that.

Get out here now, Ho-se!

Open up!

What's going on in there?

Chief Choi is here!

- What do we do?
- Ma'am.

Hey.

- Yes?
- I need to hide.

- You can't do that.
- Tell him I'm gone.

We'll all get arrested
if we don't act wisely!

Just calm down.

Open up!

- Open the door.
- I'll have to.

Give me the key.

I'll open the door!

Just a moment!

Who even locked it?

Who did this?

- Hurry up!
- Just a moment.

- My apologies.
- Just a moment, sir.

- There we go.
- It's open now.

- Welcome, Chief Choi.
- What brings you here, sir?

Where's Mr. Park?

Wasn't he here?

Yes, but he left already.

Then why can't we reach him?

Why could that be?

- Search for him.
- Yes, sir.

- Goodness.
- That won't be necessary.

Also,

what are you shooting here in secret?

This is a very open shoot, sir.

- Isn't it?
- Yes.

- That's right.
- Yes, it is.

Why was the door locked?

Yes, why was it locked?

That's right.

We've had props get stolen recently.

- That's true.
- Some cats came in.

- The cats…
- They were in heat.

- And I fed them too much.
- The props…

What a bunch of nonsense.

Where's Director Kim?

Director Kim.

Isn't that him?

- Yes.
- He's fast.

Where's he running off to?

Just a moment, Chief Choi.

Leave him be for now.

Why don't you come up to the office?

- Please do.
- We need to discuss something.

And I have something
really nice prepared for you.

Why did he run away?

- He wasn't running away.
- Take him upstairs.

Hey, listen.

- Watch your step.
- Tell everyone to take a break

and send Director Kim up.

Go on.

And bring the new script.

You should be relieved.

Cheer up.

I feel so confused.

Honestly, I'm mostly to blame.

This could be a blessing in disguise.

Think about it.

What if it had been your baby?

It was wrong of Yu-rim to deceive you,

but you're better off now.

Please be nice to her.

She dragged herself here

out of loyalty to you.

Don't let her come to harm.

When have I ever…

We're all walking on eggshells for her!

Then why use real spiders?

Have you ever been genuine
in front of the camera?

All I wanted was to see genuine acting.

Is that only for my sake?

Imagine seeing yourself
lie on the big screen.

Wouldn't that be horrible?

I don't want anyone to have regrets.

That's why I'm doing this.

Then why are you here?

Director Kim?

Well, the booze is nice.

There's more where that came from.

Is this an anti-communist film?

Well…

By changing the ending,

it becomes
an incredible anti-communist film.

- That's right.
- Is that so?

Then…

how does it go from here?

Well…

We need to reshoot
starting from this scene.

- From the burning scene?
- Yes, sir.

In a sense,
this scene upholds liberal democracy

and yearns for a new era to come.

That's right.

So all the commies get burned up?

Of course.

It's a sacred ritual
to burn down the evil ideology.

If the film ends with Madam Oh
killing her husband,

it would just be a racy drama.

Well, what does plan-séquence mean?

That refers to a long take

when we shoot a scene without cutting.

I see.

So you want to show
the commies burning for a long time?

Yes, so to speak.

Burn all the commies up
like this burning hot drink, sir.

All right.

What are you doing? Go shoot!

Thank you so much!

Go!

Thank you, Chief Choi.

We'll do our best
not to let you down, sir.

Thank you.

- Did you see Mi-do?
- No.

- Where's Mi-do?
- Who's Mi-do?

- What team are you on?
- Cinematography.

No smoking on set!

What are you doing, Mi-do?

You're smoking too?

Are you trying to burn
the whole place down?

Why aren't you getting ready?

We can shoot again?

I persuaded him.

Let's do it.

I respect you, Director Kim.

Okay, save it for later.

I love you!

That's even worse.
Just hurry and get ready.

Yes, Director Kim.

Let's make a masterpiece
like Love Like a Flame.

All right.

Can you really do this?
Acting isn't a walk in the park.

I can feel it.

I'll go now.

Goodness.

Have a seat here, Chief Choi.

Is it all right to drink on set?

You certainly can, Chief Choi.

This drink tastes like heaven.

- Where do I go?
- There.

No, not there.

- Here.
- Here?

No, right here.

Here?

Isn't this role played by Yu-rim?

Yes, but Yu-rim happens to have

an allergic reaction to blood.

Can you just change
the leading actress like that?

Sometimes,

doubles fill in
for actors in tough scenes.

Shall we do a rehearsal first?

We're starting the rehearsal.

Crew, step aside.

Here we go!

Ready.

Go!

I should never have trusted a man.

You just wait.

What was that?

That was good.

Good job.

It was good.

However,

- you can do better.
- Okay.

Let's try that again.

- Okay.
- Okay.

- She doesn't look like Yu-rim.
- We can cover her face up.

- Just cover your face with your hair.
- Right, okay.

I can't tell you two apart now.

Then I can't see anything.

- Just look down.
- Down? Okay.

Here we go. Ready.

- Rolling.
- Go!

I should never have trusted a man.

You just wait.

She looks like a ghost.

You look so scary.
This isn't a horror flick, you know?

- She's like a ghost.
- Are you a ghost?

- Why don't you turn your head?
- My head?

No, this way.

Let's try that again.

Just a minute!

I need water.

The thing about acting

is that it looks really easy to do,

but actors seem to get nervous
in front of the camera.

They have to
shake off their nerves like that.

Okay, here we go.

Rolling.

Go!

I should never have trusted a man.

You just wait.

Start walking.

Lower your arms.

Good.

This is supposed to be
a scene for comic relief.

Keep walking without looking back.

Cut, Director Kim!

- This is awful.
- Cut!

I agree with you, sir.

- Assistant director.
- Yes?

- Go find out how Yu-rim's doing.
- What the hell is this?

- All right.
- Who is that?

Director Kim!

Why Yu-rim? Am I out?

Is she ready?

Yes, I'm finished.

I'm done. You're ready.

Acting isn't for everyone.

How ridiculous.

Let's go.

Chief Choi's in there?

Yes, let's go.

You got everything?

Look, here's Yu-rim.

Right, Director Kim.

Yes?

I'm supposed to feel rage
and frustration at Ho-se, right?

- That's right.
- I knew it.

I was thinking the same.

I get it completely.

Okay.

She's passionate.

I happened to give her that name
when she first started out,

inspired by a Hong Kong film
called Passionate Yu-rim.

- Passion…
- Yes, Passionate Yu-rim.

Is everyone ready?

- Shall we start?
- Okay.

Let's go.

We're ready.

- Here we go!
- Just a second.

She's getting into character.

Hey, you don't have to be here.

Ready.

Rolling.

Go!

I should never have trusted a man.

You just wait.

It feels so real with an actual actor.

I can feel her emotions.

You really know much
about filmmaking, Chief Choi!

Cut, okay!

That was amazing.

That was good.

That sly bitch.

Was that okay?

It was more than okay!

How did you think of
tearing your dress to stop the bleeding?

It came to me naturally
since I'm always immersed in my character.

That's exactly why
you're the Passionate Yu-rim.

Wasn't she amazing?

- She's passionate for sure!
- Exactly.

Let's move to the next set!

Director Kim.

It won't be easy

to shoot this burning scene in one take.

That's why it's worth doing.

We must make the impossible possible.

The harder the scene is to shoot,

the more impactful it'll be on the screen.

- That's filmmaking.
- I see.

- Believe in me.
- All right.

But we'll have to start over
if someone makes a mistake, right?

- That's right.
- The problem is,

we need to hand over
the cameras to another shoot.

They needed it yesterday but I pleaded

and got us one more day.

When do they get here?

They're here already.

Where?

Hello.

Good.

Now, it's time for the climax.

I can't wait.

This is the plan second?

- Plan-séquence.
- I see.

So this is where
the commie spies burn to death?

They'll burn to ashes.

To ashes!

What a sight that would be.

I'm excited.

Once again,

we have to make it through
without a single error.

Stay on high alert, especially Madam Oh.

- Fine.
- Good.

Everyone ready? Get off the set!

Is this a real take?

Yes, you start over there.

Make sure to catch me.

Make it rain!

Are we ready?

Yes, we are.

- Ready.
- Rolling.

Go!

Min-ja slowly descends the stairs.

She notices something and stops.

That's right.

Camera, slowly pull back.

Madam Oh, get ready.

Not yet, Madam Oh.

Bend your knees.

Good.

Camera, smoothly…

go down.

Camera, move forward.
Madam Oh, it's you now.

Go quickly.

Shut the door and make it rain!

We're the only studio in Korea
that can do this.

COBWEB

You can't see anything now, can you?
It'll open soon enough.

The camera has to turn
360 degrees for this one take.

The doors will open
once it turns back the other way.

Madam Oh…

you're very conflicted right now.

Madam Oh, stop!

Glare at President Kang
with burning rage and scorn.

Now, go in.

Get in here.

Carefully pick up the lighter
on the table, Madam Oh.

Now, cover his body with a blanket.

Then pour gasoline all over the room.

Slowly.

That's right.

You should be feeling
sadness, remorse, and rage.

Switch the body out.

Move quickly.

Open the door!

Move out if you're done!

- Now, Madam Oh's last line.
- Hold me.

I never imagined my life…

and this family would end this way.

I hope I never see you again

- even in the next life.
- Chief Choi?

Go to hell, you damned bastard!

I can feel the tears coming.

Flick the lighter on.

Throw it!

Get the fire out of the shot.

Turn and leave the room.

Get ready, Yu-rim!

Get ready!

The golden toad!

Get ready, stunt double!

Follow her.

Hurry.

Stunt double, move out!
Madam Oh, go lie down!

Min-ja!

She picks up the golden toad.

Min-ja has killed once already.
What's one more?

Don't hesitate!

Hit her!

Madam Oh, stay completely still.

Prepare the fire.

Take the key from around her neck.

Set the fire!

Min-ja grins with satisfaction.

Hurry up!

She stares at the roaring flames
and runs to the second floor!

Get ready, Yu-rim.

Mr. Park…

Mr. Park and the hunter are up there!

- What?
- What do we do?

They're up there?

- What do we do?
- Mr. Park's up there?

They'll burn to death!

- I'll tell Director Kim.
- Hold on.

- Stare at Madam Oh.
- Director Kim?

Look at the golden toad right here.

Then pick it up.

There are people up there.

Wait, just give me 30 seconds.

We need to stop.

The fire's burning. We can't stop!

Mr. Park is up there!

Hold on, I just need 20 seconds!

Yu-rim walks upstairs
with a mysterious look on her face.

- Should I go up there?
- Look up at the…

I need you on the set.

You and you, go check!

Out of my way!

Look up at the second floor mysteriously.

- Then walk upstairs slowly.
- The ceiling is on fire.

Take a step.

- Ten seconds!
- Director Kim!

The ceiling's going to fall in!

Five seconds!

Take a step.

Take a step, then another!

Two, one…

Cut, okay!

Okay, put the fire out!

Get the camera!

BEWARE OF FIRE

Did you get everything, Hong?

Did you capture it all?

- Yes, I did!
- Good!

Yu-rim!

Yu-rim!

I'm coming to save you!

I've got you, Yu-rim!

Isn't that Mr. Park?

My goodness.

What's going on?

Come here, Mr. Park!

Damn it.

Mr. Park!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, no!

Come here, President Baek!

I can't believe it.
The same thing's happening again.

Are you talking about
the previous incident?

Get lost!

What's going on here, President Baek?

SHINSEONG FILM STUDIO

Yu-rim!

Sorry, I'll talk to you later.

I really have to go.

I'm sorry!

Take care, don't do anything dangerous,

and live a good life!

- Where's your car?
- Over there.

- See you.
- Goodbye!

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

Did you learn more about
Director Shin's fiery death?

The shoot's over, so what's the point now?

I only did it to stay in character.

You're a real professional.

You became Detective Hwang.

I want to try a different role now.

Maybe a historical drama?

That sounds good.

Ascend, Your Majesty!

- Ascend I shall.
- Yes, Your Majesty.

- Good job, everyone.
- Good work.

- Good work.
- Good work.

Everyone's on!

You can go!

Goodbye!

Find out when
the equipment truck is arriving.

- Good work, sir.
- Good job!

Park the car here!

Keep backing up.

Stop!

SHINSEONG FILM STUDIO

No.

No!

What happened?

Director Shin fainted!

Director Shin!

Assistant director!

Hurry, get in there!

- Bring water!
- We need water!

Where's the water?

Director Shin!

We need to save him! Director Shin!

LOVE LIKE A FLAME
BY SHIN SANG-HO

DIRECTOR
KIM YEOL

You dirty scoundrels!

Fine, just die.

I never imagined my life…

and this family would end this way.

I hope I never see you again

even in the next life.

Go to hell, you damned bastard!

Let go!

Did you think I'd just die like this?

Min-ja!

Yu-rim.

Are you okay?

This must be the key to the family safe.

I wonder how rich the Kang family is.

Rumors say they have mountains of cash.

Do you know?

I don't know either.

However much it is,

this cursed family is all dead.

So you and I can share what's in the safe.

But the key is in my hand.

What are you saying?

This was all my plan.

You just do as I say!

Min-ja,

why are you so scared?

I was just joking.

You thought I'd betray you?

Don't worry.

Just stay put.

I'll open the safe.

What are you doing, Min-ja?

It's too much for one person anyway!

I just need a small share.

Don't get too greedy!

I've planned this for far too long

to let an uninvited guest
take what's mine.

I need to get rid of you.

I'm sorry.

Min-ja.

It was him who killed you, not me.

Don't hold this against me.

Why did you have to be in my life?

I waited for this day for 30 long years.

Is this how my revenge ends?

Life…

is truly vain.

Spider!

I hate spiders!

I hate spiders! Someone help me!

I…

hate…

spiders.

Madam?

President Kang?

THE END

Bravo!

Bravo!

Let's go, Cobweb!

Bravo!
