EPISODE 12

YEAR 2006

Dae-o.

What on earth is this?

Well, isn't it
the mighty writer from Seoul

who's been too busy to drop by?

To what do we owe the pleasure?

Go back to Seoul, Dae-o. Just go.

Ungrateful b*stard!

Do you have any idea
how much goes into your college tuition?

You incompetent b*stard.

All you do is reach for the stars.

That's enough!

Quit dreaming and get a job.

Please, stop. Just sit down.

That's enough. Stop it!

What? You sh*t!

Have you ever read any of my work?

You have no idea
what I like and what I'm good at.

You know nothing about me.

You don't know anything!
So please just stop!

Dae-o, just go.

You little sh*t!

Writing won't bring in any money!

Just stop it, will you?

I just read your script

and it was incredible!

I love your writing, Dae-o.

It's fun, heartwarming,
and also impressive.

Why did you suddenly
head off to your parent's place?

Is something up?

REQUEST FOR LEAVE OF ABSENCE

Dae-o!

What are you up to?

Nothing. Have you eaten yet?

Yes.

The class was canceled,
so how about a movie?

-Sure.
-You see, I came across a really good one.

There were times that I had to be honest.

-Hey.
-What?

-What the...
-sh*t.

-You jerks--
-Sorry about that.

Are you all right?

-What is it?
-Dae-o!

Why haven't you been picking up?

What is this about?

Are you really taking a break
from university?

Is this true?

How could you do that
without saying anything to me?

How could you let me hear it
from someone else--

It's not like I need
your permission or anything!

Sorry about that.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you.

Anyway, I'll call you back when I can.
I'm really sorry.

Damn it.

And everything else I couldn't tell you.

Truth be told, you never trusted me.

Come to think of it now,
your distrust was perfectly justified.

Is marriage something you want?

I can barely take care of myself.

-Of course, you'd seek confirmation.
-What's wrong?

It was only natural for you to leave me.

Ae-jeong will come back.

She won't ever leave me.

Anyone would have seen it coming.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

-Hey, Hye-jin.
-Ms. Noh,

did you read my text?

What was it about?

Because of one strange article,

rumors are spreading like wildfire.

Reporters won't stop calling the office.

It's a mess here.

Okay, I'll check it right now.

FAMOUS ACTOR SUSPECTED
OF HAVING A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK

RYU JIN STUDIED IN THE SAME UNIVERSITY
AS THE PRODUCER MS. N

RYU JIN CAME TO TEACH
AT HANBAK MIDDLE SCHOOL

RYU JIN AT THE SCHOOL
PRODUCER MS. N'S DAUGHTER ATTENDS

Ae-jeong!

JIN

Taxi!

Hanbak Middle School, please.

Remember how she bragged about
filming a movie with Ryu Jin?

Ae-jeong's quite naughty, isn't she?

Tell me about it.

-Ae-jeong...
-I know!

-No wonder, right?
-That's what it says.

-So--
-What are you talking about?

Hyang-ja.

What are you having fun gossiping about?

FAMOUS MOVIE ACTOR MR. A HAS BEEN
ACCUSED OF HAVING A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK

HE POSTPONED HIS HOLLYWOOD DEBUT
UPON FINDING OUT ABOUT HIS DAUGHTER

Mr. Koo, you should see this.

WHO IS A-LIST ACTOR IN QUESTION?

Isn't this Ha-nee?

I think so.

-Unbelievable, right?
-Jeez.

-You won't believe this!
-There's Ryu Jin's daughter.

Is Ryu Jin really her dad?

Did she approach him now that he's famous?

-For his money?
-Ryu Ha-nee, explain!

Raise your hand if you told Ha-nee

that she could use her phone during class.

-Please give it back.
-No one, right?

Hold your book up outside for ten minutes.

I said, give it back.

Look at how feisty she is
now that her dad's a celebrity.

She's Ryu Jin's daughter, you know.

It's all over the Internet.

When did you find out
that he was your dad?

Be quiet!

You punks.

What are you doing?
Why are you packing up your bag?

Ha-nee.

Get back here.

Five, four, three, two, one!

Noh Ha-nee!

-Jeez.
-What the hell?

That's it. Next.

It's all in the snap of the wrist, okay?

Don't make the ball rotate.

-Bend your knees and...
-Look.

-He had a daughter.
-I thought she didn't have a dad.

-What?
-Ryu Jin's her dad?

-Really?
-Yes, it's Ryu Jin.

You should've turned your phone in
before class.

Did you know, Mr. Oh?

-Know what?
-Ha-nee from class 1-3.

She's Ryu Jin's daughter.

-What?
-Really?

-Ryu Jin?
-Let me see.

-Look.
-No way.

-It says right here.
-Unbelievable.

-Really?
-Ryu Jin's her dad?

-Seriously?
-No way!

TOP SEARCHED KEYWORDS
MOVIE ACTOR A

We should be friends with her now.

We should ask her for a signature.

-I thought you didn't like her?
-No way.

Go ahead and answer the questions.

Please pick up, Ha-nee.

MR. RYU JIN

What a coward.

Ha-nee!

Ha-nee.

Ha-nee, where were you off to?

What about you? Why are you here?

Shouldn't you be at work?

Let's go home. We'll talk there.

You read the news article.
That's why you came here.

Because you were worried.

-Ha-nee--
-There's no need to look at me that way.

I already knew everything.

I knew that Ryu Jin was my dad.

What?

Where the hell is he though?

Why hasn't he shown up to help us
when we're in this mess?

Ha-nee, you're mistaken.

You see,

he isn't your dad.

People must've gotten the wrong idea--

Then who's my dad?

Who on earth is my dad?

Why don't we talk more at home?

At home--

Forget it.

It's too late.

You're just the same as Ryu Jin.

Because no one told me the truth,

I grew up to be the most
miserable and pitiful 14-year-old.

A girl who has no one to call dad.

A girl approached a celebrity
with shady intent.

A girl who would have been
better off not being born!

No, Ha-nee, no...

You're wrong.

The phone is turned off.

Why won't she pick up?

Sir, stop the car!

Is Ryu Jin really your dad?

Why didn't you tell us?

Is that why he spoke at the school?

An actor for a father?
He's now been shackled for life.

Ha-nee's now super rich. Sweet.

-I'm jealous.
-That's dope.

I did it.

Ha-nee?

What are you doing?

I guess you don't find it funny.

I'm no longer at an age
where those silly antics make me laugh.

Now I'm embarrassed.

Fine, then. What's the best way
to turn your mood around?

Well, I guess all I need is honesty.

I see.

Laugh with me when I'm happy
and empathize with me when I'm sad.

Just don't try to hide the truth

to protect me like my mom.

It's not like I don't understand
my mom's actions.

She obviously had a good reason
to keep the truth from me.

She was worried
that I'd be this way and hate him.

Just look at what's going on.
He's showing zero responsibility

despite the mess we're in.

Also, that actor guy
hasn't even called me.

His phone is off as well.

Well, he...

Forget it.

It's why I'm now sick of the word "Dad."

I don't want to have anything more to do
with that word from now on.

Sorry.

I'm sorry.

Why are you apologizing?

It's just...

I'm sorry about everything.

Anyway, I should get going.

Thanks for comforting me.

What...

Why didn't she go straight home?

I can't believe she headed to a bar.

It's not just a bar.

What the hell? Who the hell are you?

It's Bar Sukey.

Hello.

"Su" means exceptional
and "key" is the lock opener.

Once you enter,

you'll leave with a key to your issues,

hence the name.

It's a place for those with worries
regardless of their age.

However, there's only one kid
who comes by every day,

and that's Ha-nee.

She is experiencing a life of turmoil

at the tender age of 14.

Even though her mother and grandmother
are devoted to her,

it's not enough to fill
the void in her heart.

That it'll be okay.

That it'll get better.

Would she feel better if she had a dad

to tell her that?

BAR SUKEY

I'm the west wind
and you're the gentle breeze.

I'm warm and mild

while you're cool and soft.

Wouldn't it be great If we could both
live like the wind?

That's actually why my mom
named me hanee, meaning "west wind."

However,

it doesn't seem like I'll ever be able
to live like she wanted me to

since all I get

is the cold harsh wind.

-Hold on.
-Isn't that Noh Ae-jeong?

-I think so.
-Excuse me.

Excuse me, are you Ms. Noh Ae-jeong?

Is it true that Ryu Jin
fathered your child?

Why have you kept it a secret?

-Ms. Noh?
-Could you please comment?

MESSAGES

MISSED CALLS FROM OH DAE-O,
MISSED CALLS FROM HA-NEE

This must be Jennifer Song's doing.

She's using your daughter for revenge.

Kwae-nam,

Ha-nee isn't my daughter.

Right.

What?

What do you mean she isn't?

She just isn't, okay?

Wait, hold on.
No, of course she's your daughter.

Because of her, you turned down Hollywood,

became enemies with Ms. Song,
and landed yourself in this mess.

What is this? What's going on?

Are you saying that you ruined your career

by thinking she was your daughter?

That's not the issue here.

You're right. That isn't the issue.

Hang on. Then what is?

Problem solved! You can go out there
and tell people that it's not true.

Come on. Let's go and tell
the first reporter we find.

"She's not my daughter.
I have nothing to do with Ms. Noh."

-Let's go.
-How is that true?

Because of me, Ae-jeong and Ha-nee

are suffering the consequences.

How do I make up for that?

-Ms. Noh!
-A few words...

-Ms. Noh?
-Ms. Noh!

-A comment, please.
-You're insane!

Please say a few words.

I can't believe you came here
in the middle of this mess!

I heard it was you.

I heard that you were the one
who leaked this story.

Ae-jeong, that's...

Why?

Why on earth would
you have this article published?

Ms. Noh, we had no idea whatsoever.

Jin's just as flustered by this situation.

Still!

Still, this is wrong!

You can't do this
to an innocent young girl!

KWAE-NAM, DECLINE

How could you stoop to such a level?

Did you actually think this would make me
come back to you?

No, of course not.

That's why I did it.

To ruin you instead.

-What?
-I'm sure

you've realized it by now.

That woman and her daughter?

You'll never be able to protect them.

I'll tell everyone the truth.

I'll say that you spread lies on purpose.

Ryu,

you're the one who thought
you fathered a child,

not me.

Your little mix-up ruined my business.

Because of that, we had a falling out,

and I lost you.

Honestly, I'm not the one
you should be blaming.

Tell everyone the truth.

Tell the truth!

The truth?

False rumors and a smeared reputation
isn't something you can simply undo.

Why?

Because people have a thing
called prejudice.

You only have yourself to blame
for what happened to that woman.

This is the result of you loving someone

when you don't have
the ability to protect them.

Sorry.

THE MOVIE STAR AT THE CENTER OF A SCANDAL
REVEALED TO BE RYU JIN

-Ms. Ko A-jeong?
-Here.

The doctor will see you now.

Sorry about that.

TO MY FUTURE BABY

TO MY FUTURE BABY

TO MY FUTURE BABY
DAD: OH YEON-WOO, MOM: NOH AE-JEONG

TO HA-NEE, THANK YOU FOR
BEING YOUR PERFECT SELF

I WILL PROTECT YOU NO MATTER WHAT
I LOVE YOU

FUTURE BABY NAMES:
HA-NEE FOR A GIRL, HA-NEUL FOR A BOY

I promised my baby

that I would protect her
and make sure nothing happens to her.

That's the promise I made.

I'm sorry.

Mommy is sorry.

Isn't this shocking?

When I heard Jin had girl trouble,

I wondered who the girl was.

It was Ms. Noh.

It is the same woman.

But

it's not what you think.

Well,

that means her father is someone else.

That's not too bad.

What's the point?

Even if there's a father,
she has a messy love life.

What do you mean?

Ms. Noh has a lot of men around her
including the father.

And your son is one of those men.

Hey!

Why would you include my son there?

-You're unbelievable.
-Gosh.

I heard

Ms. Noh and Ryu Jin
were in a relationship.

When I heard, I was relieved.

I was worried sick
that she might cling onto you

when you have your whole life
ahead of you.

When I heard he was the father,

it felt as if all of my pent-up
frustration went away.

Please, help her.

What?

I'll do whatever you want.

I'll move back in.

Use your money or lawyer.

Could you please fix the articles
about Ae-jeong and Ha-nee?

I know you can do it.

Hey.

When I begged you, you didn't even budge.

Do you like her that much?

So much that you would kneel
and do whatever I say?

Is she all you can think about?

Yes.

Gosh.

That's why I'm in so much pain.

When I see people criticizing Ae-jeong,

it...

It breaks my heart.

Oh Yeon-woo!

I don't care who the father is.

Right now, all I can think about is
how much pain Ae-jeong and Ha-nee are in.

Mom. Please.


BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

-Oh Yeon-woo!
-Go, Yeon-woo!

-Basketball Genius Oh Yeon-woo!
-Go!

-You can do it!
-This way!

-Over here!
-Basketball Genius Oh Yeon-woo!

Yeon-woo!

He got it!

- Go, Yeon-woo!
-Go, Sinha High!

Yes!

Nice one!

-Go!
-Go, Yeon-woo!

BASKETBALL GENIUS OH YEON-WOO

SOAR, SINHA HIGH SCHOOL

Are you okay?

-Are you all right?
-Oh, no. Yeon-woo!

-Yeon-woo!
-Yeon-woo!

Yeon-woo!

-What's happening?
-Are you okay?

-Oh, no!
-Yeon-woo!

HANG IN THERE, YEON-WOO
SEE YOU ON THE COURT

-Ae-jeong.
-Let's eat.

Are you all right?

All right.

Guess what I brought. Look.

Eels.

Chicken feet, and...

Ta-da.

It's jokbal.

From what I've heard, you need to eat food

that's high in calcium and collagen
when you tear your cruciate ligament.

Really?

Your nurse told me

that you haven't spoken a word
or eaten anything.

You even refused to see your mom
when she came to visit.

Gosh, you're so mean.

All of this is really expensive,
so you'd better eat up.

You hurt your knee, not your mouth.

Go on.

That would've been better.

I can't play basketball ever again
because I hurt my knee.

My dream is shattered,

but my mom said she was happy.

She didn't like that I was an athlete.

And now she's happy
I can't play basketball.

But basketball is the only thing
I'm good at.

Becoming a professional basketball player
was my dream.

Isn't my life over now?

I'm so useless now.

-What's the point of living now?
-What?

Did you seriously just say that?

Will you keep acting like a little kid?

You know what? You shouldn't eat this.

You don't deserve to eat this.

Wait. That's not what I meant.

You're only 19.

Where does it say
that you can only have one dream?

Don't you know
how cool and talented you are?

There's so much you can do with your life.

What? You're useless?
You don't want to live?

Unbelievable.

I'll come back later tonight.

I want you to think long and hard

about your endless opportunities
in this life.

Then I'll let you have
this expensive meal.

Gosh, I want to eat that.

My gosh.

Ae-jeong. Are you really leaving?

Darn it.

APPLICATION HANDBOOK
FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

UNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAM
SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Not only are you good at basketball,

but you're also good with words
and are kindhearted,

I think you will make a great teacher.

Teacher Oh Yeon-woo.

What do you think?
Doesn't that have a nice ring to it?

I guess you're not as perfect
as she says you are.

Why do you like her so much?

Anyone would ask you the same question.

You were never married
and come from a rich family.

If you want to, you can date
better women than Ms. Noh.

Why would you lower yourself
and like a single mom?

Haven't you had anyone
who helped you back up

when you thought your life was over?

For me, Ae-jeong was that someone.

But she has another man in her life.

Doesn't it bother you that
she's had a child with another man?

I'm not sure.

I don't know
what Ae-jeong is going to decide.

But it's okay
even if she doesn't choose me.

I just don't want her to get hurt.

Oh, right.

By the way, Mr. Ryu Jin isn't the father.

People will find out the truth soon.

What?

Then who's the father?

A lot of suspicions are
being raised about Ms. N

who is at the center of the scandal.

Right. According to my sources
from the industry,

the movie producer, Ms. N,
used her daughter

to cut a deal with Ryu Jin.

This suspicion is spreading widely.

In order to cast Ryu Jin,
she brought out her trump card.

On top of that, I heard that Ms. N
asked Ryu Jinfor money as well.

We must check the facts,

-Is this the TV station?
-but people say it is

-more than possible.
-You're talking about Ms. N.

You'd better stop airing that show.
Right now!

We can find out why
such a rumor even circulated.

Did you check if Ms. N's daughter
is Ryu Jin's daughter?

Did you see them living together
with your own eyes?

How dare you spread
such groundless rumors?

What kind of mother
would sell her daughter to make money?

What kind of mother
would cut a deal with her daughter?

Mothers don't do such a thing.

What kind of a mother
would do such a thing?

She was still very young

when she chose to have her baby
over having her own life.

When her daughter was burning up
with a fever in the middle of the night,

she ran to the ER barefoot,
oblivious to the fact

that a piece of rock was stuck
in her foot.

And you're saying such a mother
did what with her daughter? How dare you!

I'll end up seeing tears
wherever I go today.

I don't want to cry.

Mom?

Why are you out here, Ha-nee?

Did you eat?

Mom. Actually, my art teacher
complimented me last week.

Really?

Yes. My teacher said
that I was the best in my class.

Even my classmates agreed.
They said my drawing was dope.

Didn't I tell you?

You drew something on the floor
when you were three,

and I thought Leonardo da Vinci drew it.

So I couldn't even clean
the drawing on the floor

and kept it there for a week.

Oh, right. And we had a running race
in my gym class,

and I won first place.

If I were to compare my record
with the rest of school,

I will probably be ranked

at least in the top five.

Do you want me to tell you a story?

When you were five,
you had a field day at kindergarten.

You were so tiny,
but you were really fast.

When I ran after you to take your photo,
I ended up tripping myself.

So I got a scar from that day.
Where is it?

Look at this. Right here.

Right.

I guess I'm very artistic and athletic

because I take after you.

Thanks to you, I have a good life.

I'm sorry.

I know things must have been hard for you,
as hard as it had been for me.

I'm sorry for only thinking about myself.

Earlier today, I ended up saying things
in the heat of the moment

because the kids at school talked about us
without knowing the truth.

I was so upset.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sorry?

It's my fault.

No.

Don't say that.

You can just be mad at me
and speak your mind like you did earlier.

Stop acting all grown-up.

Mom, you didn't do anything wrong.

It's Dad's fault.

If anyone should be punished,
it should be him.

I found this from a box in the attic.

And I saw Dad's phone number and messages.

JIN, I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU

It was me who invited him to the lecture.

After that, I continued to look into him.

I'd been thinking of a way
to take revenge for you.

Ha-nee.

Just like I told you earlier,

-this guy isn't--
-Don't try to hide him from me.

I understand that you don't want me
to hate someone for the rest of my life.

But I'm not a kid anymore. I'm 14 now.

I should know the truth.

Ha-nee.

NAME: RYU JIN
JOB: MOVIE ACTOR

DAD: RYU JIN, MOM: NOH AE-JEONG,
DAUGHTER: NOH HA-NEE

It was me who invited him to the lecture.

How did you know I was here?

Did you call me at work?

Well, you see...

NEW MESSAGE, RYU JIN

Ms. Song was behind everything. I'm sorry.

She's trying to destroy me,
so she destroyed you too.

It's because I like you
and ended up having feelings for you.

It's all my fault.

What's wrong with you?
Did something happen again?

Mom.

Is this how life is supposed to be?

Or did I get dealt a bad hand?

What is it this time?

Mom, you know what?

I never slacked off
and worked hard to get to where I am

because I wanted
a good life for us, right?

But...

my life doesn't seem to go anywhere
when everyone else

seems to be doing fine.

And I think I finally realize why.

I have been

living my life with a tangled thread
all this time.

I should have dealt with it
by either untangling or cutting it.

But like a fool,

I have been carrying that all my life.

It's all right. You can fix it.

It's not too late to fix it.

I can help.

No. I'll do it myself.

I'll do it.

After I do that,

I'm going to talk to Ha-nee.

I'll tell her the whole truth.

I'll tell her everything.

FAMOUS ACTOR SUSPECTED
OF HAVING A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK

Well, the article didn't specify anything.

Even if there's a cause for a lawsuit,
this kind of case takes a long time.

And, by then, It would have already done
irreversible damage to the victim.

But there must be
a way to fix this legally.

Do you think I came here
so you could state the obvious?

Why are you obsessing over this case?

Are you Ryu Jin?

Or is Ms. N's daughter yours?

Why are you asking so many questions?

You know that Jin and I are really close.

He's the lead actor of my movie,

and she's the producer of my movie.

I can't just sit back and do nothing.

Any ideas?

We must get the evidence
that it's a false claim.

How can I get that?

Isn't it obvious?
You can either do a DNA test

or have the real father show up.

Gosh, this is driving me crazy.

I couldn't reach Ae-jeong,
so I thought she might be here.

Didn't you say you wanted to

take care of both Ae-jeong and Ha-nee?

Is this how?

What's your plan?

What will you do when you can't even
quash this ridiculous tabloid article?

What should I do?

Should I do a DNA test with Ha-nee
and post the results online?

"She's not my daughter.
Someone else is her father."

Should I just say that
when Ha-nee still thinks I'm her dad?

And what about you?

You can't do anything for them either.

I'm really lost. I don't know what to do.

It's frustrating.

CONFERENCE ROOM AT THUMB FILM
TOMORROW AT 8 A.M.

MESSAGES

Ha-nee, what are you up to now?

Can you get me ten of Jin's autographs?

Introduce me to a celebrity.

Ha-nee, you're coming
to school today, right?

SCAREDY-CAT: HA-NEE, ARE YOU OKAY?

IS EVERYTHING OKAY?

I'M SORRY FOR WHAT I SAID

I HAD MY REASONS TOO

I'll be absent today. Don't look for me.

Ha-nee, wake up.
Have breakfast and go to school.

What? Grandma, are you out of your mind?

Why would I after all that's happened?

You little brat.
How dare you talk to me that way?

Aren't you even worried about me?

The whole country is talking
about Mom and me.

If I go to school today--

Who cares? Why would you hide from them?

You didn't do anything wrong.
Why would you skip school?

Besides, your mom did nothing wrong.

So you don't have to
feel embarrassed either.

You just need to eat a hearty meal
and go to school just like any other day.

And everything will be solved
by the end of today.

Your mother will take the reins.

What?

I'm sure you know.

Your mother says everything is okay
and acts all gentle.

But she actually has a nasty temper.

If anyone messes with your mom,
she will crush them to pieces.

I don't know who she's meeting,
but they'll see her true colors today.

Ae-jeong's true colors.

I called you here

because when I became
the center of the distasteful incident

that took place recently,

there has been a setback
with our schedule for the movie.

As you're the investor,

the actor,

and the director,

this incident may cause
a lot of damage for you.

So as the producer of the movie
and the key figure of this incident,

I want to partially take responsibility
and make this problem go away.

I agree.

As it's a big problem,
to make it go away completely,

we all must join hands.

NOH AE-JEONG

NOH HA-NEE

As you can see, our final target
is Jennifer Song of Ssong Entertainment.

We're going to turn the scene
Jennifer Song set up against her.

You want to use Mr. Na against her?

What's the relationship

between Mr. Na and Jennifer Song?

It's--

I know Mr. Na well.

What are you doing?

Did I tell you to write up a new article?

Just copy and paste it! Is that so hard?

Hurry up!

I'm the only one hard at work.

FAMOUS ACTOR SUSPECTED
OF HAVING A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK

LET'S DIET FROM TODAY
VITAMINS FOR 2,990 WON

He lives makes a living
off advertisements on his website.

He'll write whatever you want
when you get him an advertisement deal.

He was notorious for being persistent,
so he was nicknamed the Bulldog.

But now, he writes stimulating titles
to get more views

and feeds off the advertisements
so now he's called the Parasite.

He's so despicable.

Then Ms. Song must have
given him an advertisement deal

for the article he's written.

LET'S DIET FROM TODAY
VITAMINS FOR 2,990 WON

I'll get rid of all the new advertisements

on his website.

Are you serious?

How? By ill*gal means?

My company provides CS

to our customers regularly.

I'll use that.

"CS"?

Yes.

"CS"?

Yes.

Mr. Koo, what brings you by?

Since you're our VIP client
who has always paid interest on time,

we came to offer you
a special interest remission.

Sorry?

Is this some sort of a special event?

Are you interested?

But there's a condition.

Hello. What?

Hello?

Okay, I understand.

What? Why all of a sudden?

What's with all the calls?

Is there a scoop or something?

The advertisers want to remove
their advertisements.

What?

In that case,
only Mr. Na will take the fall.

Isn't Jennifer our ultimate target?

Correct.

Once we remove all advertisements,

he will start suspecting her.

Damn it, Ms. Song.
I thought we had a deal?

How could she remove the advertisement?

He'll think she broke their deal.

Then we'll throw in a fake advertiser.

But do we know anyone who can act?

I do.

I know someone
who's perfect for that role.

This damn woman!

He's a professional conman

who can deceive him
without blinking an eye.

Hello, Mr. Na.

I'm Wang Dae-pan, the team manager
of Wangjin's Management Support Team.

WANG DAE-PAN

You want to include an advertisement
in our newspaper?

That's right.

Words have spread about

how you've been receiving
many advertisements.

I also thought that was the case.

But thanks to someone who duped me,

I could only bask in them
for a short while.

What?

That's f*cking bullshit!

If it were me,
I would've torn them limb from limb!

By the way...

Mr. Wang deceived you.

How did you forgive him?

Don't worry about my business.

I just think

you went too easy on him.

I'm just worried.

I couldn't forget him. That's why.

What do you mean?

He helped me dream once again
when I was 23.

And I'm thankful for that.

I'm just giving him another chance

like he did for me.

You can wait here.

I'll be back.

Goodness.

You're quite the actor, Mr. Wang.

You bet.

Do you know how many times
I starred in my own--

That's enough. Did you bring it?

Ta-da!

All right.

What took you so...

-Who are you?
-Hello.

You should know me since I'm quite famous.

I'm Cheon Eok-man, the author.

Right. I'm a director now.

Writer Cheon Eok-man. No, a director?

Your name sounds familiar.

Don't you know Love Is Nonexistent?

Ryu Jin is the male lead,
Thumb Film is in charge,

and Ms. Noh Ae-jeong is the producer.

You've tormented them
by publishing that article of yours.

"Tormented"?

So you do remember.

Listen carefully.

Ms. Song from Ssong Entertainment
told me that she'd get me something huge.

So I wrote a great story about Ryu Jin

but this wench didn't keep her promise
and deceived me.

I had no idea that you
cut a deal with her.

How could you write about something
that wasn't even verified?

Just for money? And a reporter, at that?

Doesn't this go against
the ethics of journalism?

You must've been devastated
after Jin left your company.

You look very haggard.

Ms. Noh, what brings you here?

You pulled me into this
just so you could take revenge on Jin?

Why? Why did it have to be me?

I wonder. Why did it have to be you?

That's because you are at the root
of everything that's happened

and not Ryu Jin.

-Still, you shouldn't have hurt my baby.
-That hurts!

That hurts!

You can attack me,

but you shouldn't have touched
my daughter!

I don't know what went on
between you and Jin,

but you should be punished

for causing harm to the innocent.

I think you should check
the article again.

Exclusive. The individual who spread
the rumor about an actor having

a child out of wedlock
was the CEO of his former company.

MS. B TOOK REVENGE WHEN THE ACTOR,
MR. A, REFUSED TO RENEW THE CONTRACT

-There he is!
-Jin!

Is the article true?

-Please answer us!
-Is it true?

-Was it her?
-Is the article true?

-Please comment!
-Was it Ms. Song?

-Please share a word or two!
-How do you feel about this?

Did you watch the news?

I don't know what happened
but Ryu Jin went back on his word.

Exactly. Why would he do that?
He said she is his daughter.

-Is it true?
-But why did the rumor start?

I know, right? Did they lie?

Maybe they did.

Don't you think they lied again?

Who knows?

RYU JIN WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION

ACTOR RYU JIN HAS RELEASED A STATEMENT
REGARDING THE RUMORS

I WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION AGAINST
THE BASELESS AND MALICIOUS RUMORS

What? So he's not my dad?

I heard Ryu Jin isn't her dad.

-Seriously?
-Then what?

-Then who's her dad?
-I'm not sure.

-Who's her father then?
-Ryu Jin denied it.

Was she abandoned by her dad?

-Gosh, poor her.
-Is that true?

Poor her.

-Thanks.
-What a shame.

I wanted to be your friend
because I thought Ryu Jin was your dad.

But I heard he isn't.

Mind your own business.

Then who's your real dad?

Don't tell me you don't know.

Have you never seen him before?

If you haven't even met your real dad,

why were there rumors
about Ryu Jin being him?

-There's something fishy going on here.
-I know, right?

Is he dating your mom or something?

Is he?

-What was that?
-Hey, it's everywhere.

Who did that?

Koo Dong-chan.

-What?
-What's his deal?

If you say another word,

I won't sit still.

You're dead meat!

Chan-yeong!

-That hurts!
-You!

I'd like to make a formal announcement

regarding the vicious rumors about me

that are being spread online.

The rumors are not true.

Despite not being verified,

people have been spreading them

as if they were true.

Apart from me,

the producer of the film company
and her family

have gravely suffered due to these rumors.

Because of that, I have decided
to take action.

From this moment on,
I will take legal action

against anyone who spreads

existing rumors or starts new ones

with no exceptions.

I truly apologize to my fans,

the producer, and her family
who have suffered because of this.

-Are you okay?
-With my sincere apologies,

I ask for your help

so that there won't be any more victims.

Let's go.

Thank you.

-So they weren't true.
-No wonder.

I'll drive you home.

I can catch a bus over there.

Your legs gave out back there.

Get in. I'll drop you off.
You might collapse again.

I'm fine. I really am.

Everything has been solved.

What is it?

Is your answer still the same?

Hey, Yeon-woo.

I already let it slide before,
but not this time.

Call the school committee this time.

How dare he throw milk at my son?

Have you two gone insane?

Gosh, look at his face.

He's bleeding from both nostrils.

I'm so upset.

Ma'am, please calm down.

But Chan-yeong was the one who started it.

What did you say?

What are you saying? Look at him!

Mr. Oh, let's be clear.

Chan-yeong didn't do anything wrong.

-Mr. Jang--
-The kids were just curious.

They thought Ryu Jin was her dad,
but that turned out to be false.

What are you saying?

Ha-nee. Dong-chan.

You're finally here.

Ms. Noh, don't you think
you made a mistake?

After what happened last time,
you should've educated her better.

How could you let this happen again?

Ha-nee, what happened? Tell me.

It's understandable.

Judging by the articles online,

I'm sure she's not of sound mind.

-What did you say?
-But you see,

you're the biggest problem here.

My wife told me about you.
You don't seem to have a good reputation.

Look here.

-Apologize. I said, apologize.
-Oh, my.

-Ha-nee.
-Apologize to her--

How dare you?

Where are your manners?

Mr. Jang.

Let her go.

I said, let her go.

Dae-o, what are you doing?

Mr. Jang, please let her go.

Who are you?

I'm her father.

I'm...

her father.

So you're saying he is my dad!

It's because of me. It's because
I didn't tell her the truth.

Are you my real father?

There is something I want to show you.

Your dad still likes your mom a lot.

Don't you think she wants
to feel loved at times?

Your mom is still a woman after all.

Don't you regret having me?

Do you still have feelings for him?

I'll give my everything
until you and Ha-nee accept me.

I think you should stop.
You should stop liking him.

Is it okay if I make a mess?

I'm asking if it's okay
if I ruin her life.
