- Hurry up. - We're late.

We have ten minutes left.

Let's hurry up.

Wait for me.

(Ha Na, Yoo Jin Woo)

What on earth was that?

This young brat has no fear.

Hey, do you think the show is a joke?

Do you know how many people waited for you?

My gosh.

Assistant Director. Where are you?

Assistant Director, come here right now.

Hey, I can't stand the sight of him.

Get him ready quickly and send him on stage.

- Yes, sir. - Hurry up!

My gosh. If it weren't for the show, I would've just...

My goodness.

(Namib)

(Episode 8: Resolution)

"Star Rise."

Let's begin the live show.

(Dave, Kim Yi Jun, Park Hyun, Chae Yun, )

(Ha Na, Yoo Jin Woo, Seo Hwan Hee)

(Ha Na, Yoo Jin Woo)

A single letter

You sent me

Shakes up my daily routine

Now, soar high

Fly away higher

Fly far away to find your dreams

Fly away

Soar high freely

Fly away

Don't stop, just keep on going

Until you drop, just keep on flowing

I got dreams and everything else

I got love, nothing less

Don't stop, just keep on going

Until you drop, just keep on flowing

All I have got to do is live my life

Don't tell me how, and don't ask why

The next participant is Yoo Jin Woo who quickly emerged...

as a top contender starting from the first round.

"Peak." Please give it up for him.

He's so cool.

Dancers, stand by.

("Star Rise")

Now.

Hold on.

What's wrong with him?

Hold on. Please wait.

Jin Woo.

Hey. Jin Woo.

What's wrong with him?

- Hey, Yoo Jin Woo! - Jin Woo, look here.

What do I do?

We'll film the MC. Drag him off the stage.

- Yes. I'll make him stand by. - MC, stand by.

What's going on?

What's wrong with him?

- Can I trust you? - Sorry?

Is it okay to trust you?

Can I trust you?

The next song is sung by IU.

"My Sea."

We'll figure it out as time goes by.

If we can trust each other or not.

Let's talk about it then.

If I...

keep doing this job,

will I become happy someday?

However

There are things

That time cannot heal - My gosh.

It's a night

When my heart is poor

Because I can't fully love myself

The face I meet in the mirror feels so strange

So I quietly close my eyes like a habit

When night falls

I rush to the next day

A child with countless wishes

Dreaming something new each day

Did she suffer

All this time just to finally be me?

They say everyone has a puzzle that leads to happiness.

It feels like mine broke halfway through.

And I'm trying to put it back together.

It's not easy.

It's hard living a life crouching down,

trying to make up for my mistakes.

It doesn't seem easy for you too.

But still, try to put them together.

It doesn't guarantee happiness. I don't know how it will turn out.

But still, do your best.

I'm also doing my best.

In my younger days

There was a sea

That never dried up in my heart

Now

Only traces remain

It's a faint and distant place

Where I was out of breath with excitement

And a cool breeze blew gently over my head

I want to become waves to run anywhere

Beneath a small fear

I slowly open my eyes

And the world comes to me

In every moment and becomes a dazzling gift

Only then can I answer myself

After endless doubts

Memories from the other side of the line

Are calling me - Let's go, Jin Woo.

Trust me.

Trust me and go up on stage.

Following the voice I forgot

I defy the waves and go back

To where the sea within me was born

Even if I'm swept away and lost

I'm free

I won't close my eyes to the darkness

That confines me anymore

You're really angry, right?

"I'm angry" or "I'm not angry." It's hard to explain with it.

Just take a walk for ten minutes before you come in.

When there's a problem,

it's important to think by yourself for a while.

I'm also going to do that now.

Okay.

(Friday: "Star Rise" live performance, semi-final)

Jin Woo finished an amazing performance.

But he sang a song that was not agreed upon beforehand.

So the production team has decided...

to eliminate him.

Well...

There's a guy called Kim Yi Jun who sang a duet with me.

He suddenly delivered Chris' message.

Actually, I...

The accident?

I'm sorry.

Tell us what he said to you again.

Don't leave anything out.

He told me to withdraw from the live show.

He said there was a dangerous item...

in the car that got into the accident.

I think...

it was a drug.

And?

They found this...

in the car.

(Kang Soo Hyun)

Jin Woo.

Did you still drive the car even though you knew...

- there was... - No.

- That's really not true. - It's not?

Although it's not true, you gave up the performance?

You should've ignored him.

You should've performed even if he had threatened to kill you.

- To you... - Your life...

and Sim Jin Woo's life were at stake.

No. I'm sorry.

It's late today.

Let's stop here.

But...

you sang a song before coming down. You did well.

Hello.

You took the divorce papers before, didn't you?

Yes.

But I came because of a different reason.

Whether there were drugs in that car is the most important.

It doesn't matter that he didn't know.

If there were drugs, he can't avoid punishment...

even if he didn't know.

This is Han Ye Won, an entertainment reporter from Joypic.

What happened yesterday?

What do you mean? You saw it.

Wasn't it an accident?

No. He was confused about which song he had chosen,

but he finished it well.

("Was Yoo Jin Woo Mistaken? Accident or Unexpected Behaviour?")

Does he have a personal issue?

No, he doesn't.

He doesn't have an issue.

(Mega Ent. Park Seong Hoon)

(CEO Park Seong Hoon, Mega Entertainment)

You must've been stressed out.

No. He did very well even in the unexpected situation.

Because of the unexpected situation,

we have many thoughts.

It's a pity.

I wanted to recruit a winner.

He was eliminated after the first live performance.

It's not easy for me to persuade the staff.

So what's the conclusion?

For now,

I want to postpone it.

But I'll keep an eye on him.

I'm CEO Lee from TA Entertainment.

Can we meet?

We'd like to sign with Yoo Jin Woo.

It's just as I said.

We'd like to sign with Yoo Jin Woo.

Can you explain even a little bit?

- Can you tell me why? - He's so good.

He showed his skills and charms.

And he got fans.

Most of all, you're willing to sell someone like him.

There's no reason not to buy him.

So what's the condition?

Please solve the issue.

Restore his relationship...

with the network that airs "Star Rise."

They must be very angry now.

If they suspend his appearances,

we'll both be in trouble.

Let's go.

What are you doing? Why are you sitting next to me?

What do you think?

- It's the same. - You better take a good look.

It might not be easy to see me from now on.

Isn't it amazing?

I'm still the same,

but people are very kind to me now.

No one ignores me...

or is mean to me because I did a bad job.

Han Young.

I hope the same thing happens to you.

What do you mean?

I hope you can feel what I'm feeling.

If I quit my job and open a restaurant...

Not that.

What you're trying to do in the end is open another Muse.

Who are you to tell me what kind of job I should do?

If you like the job, keep going.

If it makes you happy, keep going.

But if it's not the case, why don't you do something with me?

I want to help you.

Congratulations.

I'm going back to the dorm tomorrow.

I came to say hello before then.

I thought you were good when I saw you first.

But I didn't know you'd be this good.

Even though the viewers of "Star Rise"...

are only talking about Yoo Jin Woo.

It's okay. My goal is to win.

I'm far-sighted.

I don't want to become the talk of the town right now.

I want to become a real singer.

We'd like to help you.

Mr. Jang met Park Ji Cheol, the producer of "Star Rise..."

here and...

Producer Park was here?

Oh, well...

It's nothing weird.

TV producers can visit entertainment agencies.

It is weird.

Main producers of such audition shows are normally very careful.

Your sigh

I cannot understand

I'm sorry.

I should've done a better job.

Well, more people know about you now because of it.

You should start preparing for other audition shows.

Pardon?

Well, there's one starting at the end of the year.

You can participate in it as a non-celebrity.

And there's another one starting next year for trainees.

You want me to participate in another audition program?

You thought one was enough?

Hey, shouldn't you keep at it until you make it?

The company doesn't plan to produce a new girl group for the time being.

Okay.

But you know what?

Goodness. How are you going to fix this?

Pardon? Fix what?

Your mediocrity.

Your audition results were mediocre.

Your scores here too.

You know we didn't send you to "Star Rise" to represent the company...

because you were our best trainee.

The new CEO...

picked Ha Na,

so the others just gave up, saying they didn't want...

to tag along and make her stand out. You didn't know?

Oh, I guess you didn't know.

Anyway, why don't you take this as a chance to change?

Try to really think about what you want to do.

Don't be so wishy-washy.

Hey, I met with a lawyer.

- You see... - Hello.

- Oh, hello. - Hello.

Where is Producer Park?

He's on the set.

- He's still pretty angry. - I see.

What are the others in the studio saying?

Well, he did perform,

and he sang the song until the end, so it's not like he flaked out.

We'll just say he sang a different song due to a misunderstanding.

And to tell you the truth,

I am on Jin Woo's side.

The moment I first met him,

I knew he'd make it big.

That said, I have a proposition to make.

This has nothing to do with the audition.

We'd like to start...

a new YouTube program featuring Yoo Jin Woo.

YouTube?

Well, that's a bit...

Could you please tell us more?

I suggested this idea to the higher-ups.

We've analysed people's reactions to Jin Woo during the audition.

"Where did he come from?"

"What is his story?"

That's what many people want to know.

How does he spend his day normally?

What's his story? How does he practice?

We'll show them everything.

Then we're in...

It's risky.

We can't control what people will see.

That's what people want.

The buzz? The fandom? How long do you think they'll last?

A month or two?

Well, here's what the lawyer said.

If there were drugs in the car,

he wouldn't be able to avoid punishment.

We need to take care of this problem first...

before we talk about YouTube...

or selling him.

Drop me off here.

Yoo Jin Woo.

Won't you help me?

Oh, sure.

What do you need me to do?

- Here. - Okay.

Look at you.

Someone's getting better at cooking.

I had a good teacher.

If they were in the car, he wouldn't be able to avoid punishment...

even if he didn't know about it.

Do you find it fun? Cooking.

It just...

puts me in a good mood.

Cooking puts you in a good mood?

I've been doing it for 20 years,

yet I've never once felt that way.

Even if I ruin it,

I can start over.

The same goes for me, right?

Yes, of course.

Don't worry, man.

Hey, seriously.

Come on. Let go of me.

I told you. I can take care of myself.

Hey, when did you get so drunk?

Why? I'm totally fine.

I said I would...

My goodness.

Sir, I'm sorry.

JAESUNG went clubbing and...

Hey, Mr. Jang.

I'm sorry.

I was out having some fun,

and someone took some pictures of me.

But you know,

Mr. Jang will take care of everything,

so we have nothing to worry about.

Right?

- Where? - Club B in Gangnam.

But the thing is,

Xpatch called and said they were in possession of the photos.

Hello, Reporter Seo.

I heard you guys were in possession of JAESUNG's photos.

The thing is, there's something bigger.

After he left Club B,

an ambulance arrived.

A female college student was found unconscious.

She was given a bottle of water spiked with drugs in the VIP room.

So, we have some questions for JAESUNG too.

When you were at Club B,

who else was there?

I don't know.

Who else was at Club B? Answer me, you punk.

I don't know. I don't remember.

Hey, that hurt.

Go to Club B now.

And see if he's there.

- We're sorry. - We apologize.

- Everyone, please leave now. - This way, please.

- This way. - Sorry.

- Sorry. This way, please. - We apologize.

- Everyone must leave. - This way, please.

- Please leave. - We apologize.

- All clear here. - Got it.

Yes, we're sorry.

- Hey. - Sir.

We're now closed due to unforeseen circumstances.

- I left something inside. - Hey, stop.

- We're closed now. - This way, please.

Who are you to hit me?

- It is him. - Where is he now?

- I lost him. - You fool!

You lost him right in front of your eyes?

Go and get him now!

Someone's sigh

That heavy breath

How could I fathom the depth?

Your sigh

I cannot understand the depth

But it's okay

I will give you a hug

It so happens that today is a first

Even if a scathing comment

Makes me hate myself

Let's not mind it

I am the happiest when I sing.

I kept that in mind while singing the song.

I become afraid when my phone rings

My heart jumps with surprise first

(CEO Kang Soo Hyun: Hey, thug. Let's meet up.)

But I don't want to be alone

I don't even know myself

Where on earth is my happiness?

Cut to the chase and keep it short.

Jang Hyun Chul doesn't know about my business card.

What are you saying, all of a sudden?

Yoo Jin Woo's accident. Jang Hyun Chul doesn't know.

Okay, so?

My conclusion is, you don't want Yoo Jin Woo to get hurt.

You just want him to come back to you. That's all.

- Stop talking nonsense. - Then why did you come that day?

Why did you come to Flavia?

You told me not to drag him down.

I can't believe this.

You practically told me to get lost.

Now, you want my help?

Stop messing with me, okay?

What do you want from me?

The accident. Just promise me that you'll keep your lips sealed,

and we can bury it.

- If you want compensation, tell me. - For whose sake?

- For your sake? - Yes, for my sake.

And it'll be a good thing for Yoo Jin Woo too.

You're a great liar.

If you want to take him down because you hate my guts,

do that.

But you...

Did you see his performance?

Fine.

What do you want to bury?

The accident. All the facts connected to it and its evidence.

And I need your promise that you'll keep your lips sealed.

Right.

But facts about what? And what evidence?

Listen, Ms. Kang Soo Hyun.

What do you want to bury?

There was nothing there.

Put this in the other car.

Hey.

There was nothing in that car.

Nothing.

If you want to get out of this place, call me anytime.

You think I'm doing this to let you off, don't you?

I could easily get you roped into it if I wanted to.

Of course.

I know that.

I'll be home after I get some work done.

The factory manager will give me a ride home.

Yoo Jin Woo.

It's just the two of us today.

What are you waiting for? Go and get your rice.

Jin Woo.

Yes.

The network wants to produce some YouTube content with you.

It'll be like a reality show.

It'll feature behind-the-scenes content from the audition.

It'll be all about you.

Really?

They'll follow you home, to school and the practice room.

You'll be on camera 24-7.

I'll do it.

I'm not telling you this to hear that answer.

Let me do it. I swear, I won't make a single mistake this time.

If you don't want to do it,

just tell me honestly. That's why I brought this up.

Don't say yes just because you want to do a good job.

It's not like that.

I really am confident that I can do a great job this time.

I checked.

Turns out, there was nothing in that car.

The network and the accident. It's all been taken care of.

- Why are you in such a rush? - What?

You, honey. Why are you in such a rush?

I am not.

Hey, Soo Hyun.

Let's...

not sell Yoo Jin Woo.

I'll just pretend I didn't hear that.

Let's try this on our own. With Yoo Jin Woo, like the old days.

We brought him on as a tool and with the plan to sell him.

Then why did you cry?

Why did you cry if he's just a tool you want to sell off?

You feel bad, don't you?

No!

I don't!

Yes, try it. It's very good.

Is it good?

(Juicy Short Rib Patties)

Short rib patties.

This is mine. I grabbed it first.

I won't let you take yet another thing from me!

All right, it's all yours.

What? Why does he seem so down today?

Are you here to shop?

I'm here to see if the store...

I invested in is doing okay.

I invested in this store too.

- Good for you. Look around. - What's with the tone?

Why are you so down?

Is it Yoo Jin Woo?

Because he botched his final performance?

- You saw? - Come on.

I even voted.

Still, of course,

the winner should be Pandora's Ha Na.

- Sorry. - Thanks.

When he sang IU's song.

I got goosebumps all over.

But what was that about?

He was so mean to Kim Yi Jun.

Does he have a personality issue?

He does not. The production crew...

- Sorry. - Number 649.

Your order's ready.

The production crew made him look bad.

- He's not like that. - As if that was bad editing.

He's like Soo Hyun, that's all.

She found a kid just like her and trained him up.

Do you think a network would rig a show or something?

So, what will you do?

What's Yoo Jin Woo doing?

Do you think...

this is funny?

I'm having the time of my life.

I bought Pandora Entertainment to watch your lives...

go down the drain.

You're insane.

Soo Hyun torments herself...

by picking the wrong person. Both then and now.

She picked the wrong guy to marry,

and then she picked the wrong trainee to back.

Hey.

She might have chosen the wrong guy to marry,

but not Yoo Jin Woo.

- You think so? - What?

Yoo Jin Woo.

Do you think she chose wisely?

Are you that confident...

when he's not your son and wasn't your pick?

How much do you know about him?

His background, past, personality, everything.

What about you?

You kicked Soo Hyun out of Pandora and replaced her with Hyun Chul.

Do you think you chose wisely?

Darn you.

You voted for Yoo Jin Woo?

Then shall I tell you...

something interesting?

What is it?

Why do you think Yoo Jin Woo...

gave up during the live performance?

Why? Why did he do that?

- Do you want to know? - I want to know.

- You'll be curious. - I am.

I won't tell you.

What? Soo Hyun picked the wrong guy to marry?

You arrogant punk.

Number 690. Your order's ready.

He's lost his mind.

We prepared all we could.

Do you think you won't regret this?

(My Family Care Home)

(My Family Care Home)

(My Family Care Home)

Hey.

Did you manage to find your mom?

We did, with Jun Seok's help.

- Could I meet her to... - No.

Don't contact Mom anymore.

The doctors said she shouldn't be exposed to extra stimuli.

We'll take care of her.

If you'll take care of her,

why am I hearing that you're behind on the fees?

Where's Soo Hyun? I need to see her.

She's busy.

Don't call her.

Why not? Am I not allowed to see your mom...

or your sister?

I have...

no memories of you.

Because I was so young when you abandoned us.

But not Soo Hyun.

You ditched her and Mom...

when she was an adolescent.

She witnessed everything,

and as soon as she got into university...

she got a job to feed us.

To her, you are...

the root of misery and a sworn enemy.

Don't you ever call Soo Hyun.

Us sisters...

will handle Mom's care.

(Trash)

Hello.

- Hello. - Hello.

- Come in. - Take off your shoes.

Okay. Don't worry.

I'll show you my room first.

- Get the best shots. - Okay.

There are so many of them.

- There's a guitar over there. - Right.

(Recording)

This is mine.

- Will you play it? - Me?

Not you. Jin Woo.

- Go ahead. - Okay.

Okay, then.

Sorry, but could you get out of the frame?

- Please? - Okay.

Hey. You're a pretty good cook.

No.

I taught him.

We want to film Jin Woo only.

Hello.

I'm Jin Woo's instructor Hong Jung Hwa.

This is my restaurant,

and Jin Woo practised on the second floor up those stairs.

Shall we all head upstairs to look around?

Let's go!

How do you know Yoo Jin Woo?

Can you speak a little slower?

Jin Woo and...

How do you know Yoo Jin Woo?

Oh, okay.

A friend.

You were a trainee for many years.

How did you endure it?

I didn't endure it.

I just stayed still,

and the opportunity came.

What was that opportunity?

I met some good people.

Oh, dear.

Come on. Is this the best you can do?

Leave it. I'll put it up on my own.

You can't do it on your own.

Jin Woo, hold that corner. Ji Young, the other one.

- Okay. - Ready?

- Oh, dear. - Gosh. Come on!

You useless fools.

Get out of the way. All of you.

- Pull that side. - Pull it?

- Hold that side. - Get it upright.

You didn't secure this corner.

You should've pulled this out and pegged it to the ground.

Can you be quiet over there?

- Okay. - Okay.

- Pull it tight. - Be quiet.

- You can't do anything without me. - Not so loud.

You sold 100 of them?

Yes. We're getting another batch of pre-orders.

You're really incredible.

This is how you wear it.

- Ms. Kang. - Yes?

I heard the car accident is no longer an issue.

Yes.

What should I do from now on?

- What? - What I do next is important.

To counter the poor image of how I flopped out of the show,

I must work harder and do better.

Tell me...

what to do next.

Yoo Jin Woo.

What are you doing? Get over here.

Let's eat before it gets cold.

Let's eat first.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

That's nice and cold.

Here. Jin Woo.

- This is for you. - Thanks.

- Some skewers. - It's extra tasty to eat outdoors.

Jin Woo.

Eat all you want.

- Thank you. - Sure.

How did you cook these skewers?

- Why? - They're too salty.

Then you cook next time. I think they're delicious.

I cooked these...

over a charcoal fire, and you can taste the flames.

- Keep them spinning. - Okay.

All day long

When did he pack that?

Jung Hwa, can I have a blanket?

- A blanket? - There's one here.

- Good. - Thanks.

All day long

- Mom, do you want a marshmallow? - Yes.

- You can have this. - Okay.

- Jin Woo, this is for you. - Thanks.

All day long - Come on!

What are you doing all day long?

What do you want?

Mr. Sim wants to sing, everyone.

- Let's focus on him. - Okay, let's focus.

Ms. Kang.

Is he a good singer?

No. I told you to see only good and pretty things.

Look away. Look over there instead.

Look at something else.

All day long, it has been raining

With a pale face, I go to see you

I shed all my old mistakes

And go to fill my heart with you

One day in the past, you and I

Walked this path in the rain

We leaned on each other

And walked the path endlessly

Now I know what it means to be lonely

Ever since you left me

The past goes through my mind

And drench my soul like the rain

Now I think of the memories

I cannot erase

This path that we walked in the rain

I walk it on my own now

Ever since you left

Have you made up your mind?

My gosh.

You still have it.

He's great.

Yoo Jin Woo.

This is important, so listen carefully.

I decided...

to sell you to another company.

They offered a pretty large sum,

and that shows how highly valued you are.

So...

this is it with me.

I will...

root for you with all my heart.

Where are we going?

- Welcome. - Hello.

- Come this way. - Okay.

Nice to meet you. I'm TA Entertainment's Mr. Cha.

I hope we get along.

(TA Entertainment Lee Dong Yoon)

(Kang Soo Hyun)

(Details)

If you read the contract, shall we sign it?

Yoo Jin Woo.

I'm selling your exclusive contract to TA Entertainment.

They made you a great offer with great conditions.

They'll treat you well.

(Transferor Kang Soo Hyun)

I'd like to ask for a favour.

Oh, we didn't let you speak.

My road manager.

Can I pick someone myself?

We have no problem with that.

Call them all over so he can say hi.

Okay.

You won't know anyone, but you can meet them...

and discuss what vision you have for our future.

We'll put together the ideal team for you.

Don't worry too much.

No.

I want to pick one person myself.

Who is it?

Will you accept?

I can do that for you.

I want her to be my manager.

(Namib)

Congratulations, Yoo Jin Woo.

You made the debut team.

Is Yoo Jin Woo busy?

We selected the last member at last.

I have an interesting story.

It's sensational and fun.

Won't the police latch on soon once word starts spreading?

Why is it me? Why?

Why are you using me to solve your problems? Why?

Forget it. I don't need a reason.

I promise to do everything you say.

Please don't abandon me.
