Post by bunniefuu »

Hey.

[GOGO Entertainment
Foundation Ceremony]

You impertinent punk.

What did you just say to me?

Human trash?

Hey.

Who are you throwing punches at?

How are you not human trash
when you went...

after another woman
while engaged to someone else?

No decent man would do that.

Whether I date
more than one woman...

is none of your business.

I showed interest in Ji Young first.

You're the one
who took my girl from me!

Darn it.

How dare you take what's mine?

Kim Ji Young is mine!

Pil Seung!

Don't hit my brother.

Darn you.

- Pil Seung!
- Don't hit my brother.

Pil Seung's my brother!

Stop hitting him.

Don't!

- That's my brother!
- Darn!

Stop hitting him.

Get off him!

Don't hit him.

- Stop!
- Ma Ri.

What is going on?

What is the meaning of this?

Pil Seung, are you all right?
Oh, no.

- Pil Seung!
- Why were you two going at it?

Were you throwing punches...

over that tenant of ours?

Unbelievable.

Why on earth
are you fighting over...

that country bumpkin?
I can't believe you.

Jin Dan,
don't you ever contact me again.

We're done.

- But...
- Tae Hee!

What... What just happened?

My gosh.

Auntie!

Are you all right?

Auntie Dae Sook, how could you?

I know you're angry,
but how could you slap him?

They say one's roots never lie.

This is exactly why you're only seen
as the mistress' son.

Auntie!

How dare you yell at me
after humiliating this family?

Don't you know
how prestigious Illyu Foods is?

How could you
humiliate our family name...

after what I did
to set her up with you?

And at the foundation ceremony
of your sister-in-law's new company!

You imbecile!

Jin Taek,

he should never have gotten
Angel Investment Corp.

How can I show my face around
after this?

Auntie Dae Sook, I'm terribly sorry.
I'll talk to him.

I don't care how clueless you are.

How dare you chase
after another woman...

when you're set
to marry someone else?

On top of that, she's already taken.

I'm disgusted.

Uncle, I'll also say something.

Hurt Pil Seung like that again,

and I'll make you pay.

Gong Ma Ri, you!

How could you side with him
and not your own uncle?

My brother Pil Seung, you say?

It's not like
he's your actual brother.

Something is seriously wrong
with her.

Soo Yeon,

why aren't you saying anything
when she's talking nonsense?

Right. I'll go to her.

She's a fool
who does the most foolish things.

See?

Even Ma Ri thinks we're beneath her.

What now?

Your brother and aunt
think less of you now.

How can you let the tower we built
crumble overnight?

Would you rather see me die?

Kneel before your aunt and brother
and beg for forgiveness.

Say that you'll clean up this mess.

This instant!

Darn it!

Jin Dan!
Where do you think you're going?

My gosh.

Ma Ri, look at me.

You said it earlier...

and at the event hall
with all those people around you.

How can you call Pil Seung
your brother?

What if people figure it out?

How could I stay put while
Uncle and my brother went at it?

I won't let anyone
treat him that way.

Not even Uncle.

But if you keep at it,

people will figure out
that he's actually your brother.

I explained
how that would be a problem.

Your father,

Sun Young, and even Pil Seung.

It'll shock everyone
and make them miserable.

I know.

But don't worry, Mom.

Even if I keep calling him
my brother,

no one will figure it out.

They'll just think
that's because I like him.

A story like abandoning a child
at a friend's house...

isn't even written for TV.

So no one will even think to imagine
that Pil Seung is your son...

that you abandoned.

The concerns are all in your head.

Mom. Do you know
what people say about that?

"A guilty conscience
needs no accuser."

Oh, gosh.

I had such a fright.

My heart's still pounding.

Do you think it makes sense that...

two perfectly fine men
would fight over...

that country bumpkin?

It doesn't.

Forget about Pil Seung.

That Mr. Gong
comes from a rich family.

He even has a fiancée.

And he went and started a fight
during an event to celebrate...

his sister-in-law
starting a business.

What kind of mess is that?

I think the other guy was crazier.

The woman he was supposed to marry.

She was furious.

Why wouldn't she be?

She looked so elegant and pretty.

I'm not surprised she went,
"Don't you ever contact me again."

I'd have said the same.

Our Pil Seung is not the type
to fight over nothing.

That's what I'm talking about.

What on earth
did that country bumpkin do...

that two grown men
got into a fist fight?

Gosh.

Welcome back.

Miss.

Watch how you act in public.

Do you know what just happened?

What?

Grandma.

Why are you yelling at her?
What did she do wrong?

What happened?

My gosh. What happened to your face?

It's nothing.

How is it nothing?

Because of you, at the opening,

some guy called Mr. Gong
and Pil Seung got into a fight,

and look what happened to his face!

Is that true?

No. Come with me, Ji Young.

Miss!

Are you going around
flirting with everyone?

She isn't, Grandma.

Ji Young's not that kind of person!

- Oh, no.
- Ko Pil Seung.

How dare you
shout at your grandmother?

- What should we do with him?
- Oh, gosh.

He has completely lost his mind.

This is driving me crazy.

You throw punches over nothing now.

I didn't know
you were that ignorant a person.

Mr. Gong attacked me first.
I had no choice.

You should've held back.

You should've gotten away.

Mr. Gong's a weirdo.

Fighting him
will make you a weirdo too.

It was a company opening ceremony.

You did that in front of everyone
and their families.

What do you think
they'd think of me now?

I thought you were
rational and wise.

I'm so disappointed.

Mr. Gong was talking nonsense
about you in public...

and being rude and I should've...

let that all slide?

Do you want me
to be that kind of person?

You say you fought him for me,

but why don't you see
the more you do that,

the worse it makes me look?

You yelled at your grandma
because she said something about me.

Do you think that would help me?

I didn't yell at my grandma
out of anger.

She was being unfair,
so I spoke loudly.

She was being so unreasonable.

Okay.

I'll be more careful from now on.
I acted a bit too rashly today.

No.

It's all on clumsy, stupid me...

who spilled coffee
on Mr. Gong's suit.

To avoid buying him a new suit,

I agreed to eat out with him,
so it's my fault.

Who could I blame?

Talking about that with you
will only frustrate me even more.

Wait, Ji Young.

Don't follow me.
I can't stand your face right now.

This is bad.

She's really angry.

What should I do now?

Ji Young.

Ji Young.

I brought tteokbokki.
It's your favorite.

Let me in.

Forget it. I don't want it.

Ji Young.
It's okay to blame and hate me,

but eat the innocent tteokbokki.

I'll leave it out here.

Eat it while it's hot.

It'll get all soggy
when it's cold, okay?

Did he really leave...

the tteokbokki outside?

He's right.
The tteokbokki's innocent.

It's wrong to let it
get cold and soggy.

My gosh.

What are you doing?

You said you'd leave the tteokbokki.

Did you just con me?

What do you think you're doing?

I couldn't stand listening to...

Mr. Gong say things about you
that were total lies.

But from now on,

I'll hold back.

Even if Mr. Gong punches me again,

instead of fighting him,
I'll avoid him or get away.

Will that do?

I was careless today.

I apologize.

It's fine.

I should apologize.

No. I should apologize.

Okay, then. We're same-same.

We're what? "Same-same?"

Yes. You don't know
it means we're even?

What should we do about this?

Blow on it for me.

Go home.

What kind of woman is she...

that Pil Seung would fight over her?

Wait. Is that the woman?

Is that the woman...

Pil Seung and Jin Dan
were fighting over?

Goodness.

Soo Yeon. I'm sorry about yesterday.

Our Pil Seung...

did something dreadful
at an important event.

Don't apologize.
My brother-in-law was at fault.

No one in our family
blames Pil Seung.

Yes. From what I heard,

your brother-in-law
was the one who started the fight.

Pil Seung was left with no choice.

You never told me that Pil Seung...

was seeing someone.

How long has he been dating her?

That woman...

worked on Pil Seung's previous drama
as a crew member running errands.

She was from the country
and had nowhere to stay,

so we let her rent our extra room.

They must've gotten close
after Pil Seung let her carpool.

And you didn't know about it?

I never imagined Pil Seung
would date her,

so the thought
never crossed my mind.

Gosh.

And to think...

she two-timed him
with your brother-in-law.

I can't stand it.

Soo Yeon.
I was so upset and embarrassed.

I couldn't even tell you about it.

So, will you just keep her around?

Pil Seung can be stubborn and rigid.

Once he thinks it's right
and makes a decision,

he won't change his mind
no matter how much we object.

I'm reluctant
to do anything in case...

that fuels him to go even further.

You can't
leave them together, though.

You have to stop him no matter what.

It's not fair of me to criticize
someone else's daughter,

but I don't think
she's a good match for Pil Seung.

You didn't raise him this hard...

to let him marry a girl like her.

Soo Yeon.

Did you meet our tenant?

Yes, while going to and fro
because of Ma Ri.

I saw her briefly.

Did you?

Soo Yeon.
What should I do about Pil Seung?

I'm so upset and frustrated.

Hey, Tae Hee. Come on in.

Hello.

Hi. Thank you for coming.

Have a seat.

I'm so touched
that I feel like crying.

You've been nothing but nice to me.

So I thought I should come here
and say a proper goodbye.

What do you mean by
a proper goodbye?

Why would you say that?
That's just upsetting.

Tae Hee,
please don't be like this for me.

And I think
there was a misunderstanding.

Jin Dan wouldn't do such a thing
for someone else's girlfriend.

It's not like
he got shot in the head.

He just pitied the country girl,
so he was being nice to her.

And apparently,
Director Ko was dating her.

He just misunderstood Jin Dan
and picked up a fight.

I heard the whole story,
and it was no big deal.

If this makes you
end things with Jin Dan,

I will be so frustrated.

And it will deeply break
Jin Dan's heart.

But still, he was involved
with someone else...

and got into a fight
when he was engaged to me.

It's very disappointing,
and I just can't forgive him.

I should get going, ma'am.

Please take care.

Wait.

Tae Hee.

[CEO Gong Jin Dan]

What are you doing here?

Tae Hee came to see me
at the store earlier today.

She did? What did she say?

Though I asked her to come over,

she said she came to say
a proper goodbye.

That means
she still has feelings for you.

And when I went out to see her off,

her eyes were filled with tears.

Are you sure?

Yes. So you should go talk to her.

Beg on your knees if you have to.

Otherwise, your life
will be just pathetic.

You have to win Tae Hee back
no matter what...

and make Jin Taek
and Auntie Dae Sook change their minds.

I'll go talk to her.

I told Tae Hee
that darn brat was clinging to you.

So make up some story
to cover it up, okay?

Okay. I get it.

I understand. You should go now.

By the way, can I ask you something?

Why did you
fall for a girl like her?

I'm really curious.

Come on, Mom.

I just don't get it.

Is it something like this?

Is it like
you chase anything in a skirt?

Mom!

I wouldn't be saying this
if she was someone in your league.

But I hate even mentioning her.

I can't bear to lift my head
from embarrassment.

Fine, Pil Seung.

You've already made up your mind.

I hope you will succeed, okay?

Yes. Thank you.

And make sure...

to come to our broadcasting company
when you start a new project.

Of course.

No matter where I work,

I will never forget
that this company is my home.

Right. You should never forget that.

And if you have
any concerns or difficulties,

come and talk to me anytime.

- I will.
- Oh, right.

Before you leave, make sure...

to get things properly done
as you always do.

You're going on a business trip
to Paris in two days.

Your work is nominated
for the Juniper Award.

You have to go.

And I want to go sightseeing...

in Paris thanks to you.

Of course, I'm going.

["Don't Lie"]

You've worked really hard.

Once you get settled in,

you should bring me in too.

Okay.

Oh, dear. I can't believe
I won't be able to see you tomorrow.

I feel like
I'm losing my own child, Pil Seung.

Stop being so dramatic.

I'm serious.

Okay. I'll come often.

You should come to my office
for some tea.

Of course, I will.

Just don't tell me
not to come too often.

All right. Thank you, everyone.

I appreciate your hard work.
Thank you.

- Thank you.
- Good luck!

Go, Ko Pil Seung!

- Good luck.
- Good luck.

- Good luck.
- Let's go.

I have mixed feelings.

Thank you.

What should I do with this jerk?

I can't punch him again.

Darn it.

My gosh.

Is this really my office?

It's huge.

Director Ko.

What do you think?
Do you like your office?

I took extra special care of it.

Ms. Jang, is this really my office?

My office doesn't
need to be this big.

This is too much.

What do you mean it's too much?

This is what you deserve.

You are the main director
of our company.

Why? Do you not like it?

Of course I like it, but...

Then it's no problem.

I just want you to make
good drama series here.

Thank you.

I will pour my soul into my work...

and try my best.

Okay.
I look forward to it, Director Ko.

Oh, right. Didn't you say...

that there was a script
you had in mind?

Yes. I'm torn between two works.

I'll tell you once it's settled.

Then I want to start
the casting process right away.

It's hard to find
good actors these days.

Okay.

I'm just enthusiastic,
but I don't know much about this.

You take care of everything.

I will just trust you
and do as you say.

I'll just try my best
to support you.

Thank you. I'll make this work.

- You should unpack.
- Okay.

Oh, right.

Your mom seemed very concerned.

What?

I heard about the tenant lady.

I see.

I heard about it,

and I don't think it is a good idea
for you to go out with her.

I understand
you might be offended...

to hear something like this from me.

But I've seen you
since you were little.

You're like my son,
so I'm just worried about you.

I can't explain everything to you,

but what happened between Mr. Gong
and her was just a misunderstanding.

And this is about my privacy,

so please let me take care of it.

Sure. I understand.

It's just that
your mom seemed concerned,

so I was worried too.

Please don't worry about it.

Okay. I'll leave you to your work.

All right.

Why were you two going at it?

Were you throwing punches
over that tenant of ours?

Unbelievable.

Why on earth
are you fighting over...

that country bumpkin?
I can't believe you.

Oh, right.

Why didn't I think of that sooner?

"That tenant of ours?" That means...

Hey. It's the tenant lady.

Come here
and have some fried chicken.

Hello.

That lady seemed nice.

But was she two-timing
my brother and my uncle?

Is that why they were fighting?

She's unbelievable.

Who is this?

Goodness.

We need to talk.

You're Ms. Ma Ri, right?

You brought the chicken
the other day.

What brings you here?

Were you two-timing
Pil Seung and my uncle,

or did you move
from one man to the next?

If it's the latter,
who did you date first?

What on earth are you talking about?

Two-timing?
Move from one man to another?

Ms. Ma Ri, I take it...

that you've misunderstood
the situation.

Anyway, here goes.

I didn't two-time anyone
or move from one man to the next.

Director Ko
is the only person I like.

How have you been
conducting yourself...

that has both guys
fighting over you?

I don't want you to date
any one of them.

You're the kind of person
that I hate.

Anyway, from now on,

don't date either Pil Seung...

or my uncle. Got it?

If I see you
with either one of them,

- I'll pluck all your hair out.
- What...

Gong Ma Ri!

Ji Young, here you go.

Sure.

Ma Ri, you and I need to talk.

Pil Seung, is that true?

Yes, it is.

Why? Don't you believe me?

I believe every word you say.

Thanks for believing me.

I thought she was a two-timer,

and that's bad.

What's bad should be pointed out...

since it means
she was deceiving you.

I won't let you date
a nasty woman...

who dates more than one man at once.

That's the only reason.

But now that you say
that isn't the case,

I will support
your relationship with her.

Do you mean that?

Of course. I want you to be happy.

Gosh, I'm grateful.

Ma Ri, you're really like my sister.

Pil Seung, thank you so much.

Thanks for saying
I'm like your sister.

Ji Young, why did you
call me out here?

No reason.

I had something to say to you,

and the air was cool.

I wanted to hold your hand
and go on a walk.

Gosh, I'm relieved.

I was worried that you were
going to give me an earful.

Director Ko,

thank you for earlier.

I saw you and Ma Ri talk
in the front yard.

Gosh. Did you?

Ma Ri seemed to have the wrong idea.

We cleared
the misunderstanding though,

and she agreed to support us.

I said I trusted you,

but I must've been secretly worried.

Seeing her
made me reflect on my actions.

She trusts you blindly
without a single doubt.

From now on,
I'm going to put my faith in you...

and be patient.

Do you mean that?

Yes.

Your parents and your grandmother.

I'm sure that in all due time,

they will understand
how I feel about you.

No matter how long it takes,

I'll believe in you and be patient.

Thanks.

And I'll do better.

I'm happy...

to have you...

by my side.

I feel the same way.

Do Do, head...

to the audition waiting room.

Got it, Ms. Baek.

Come in.

Director Ko.

Congratulations on joining...

GOGO Entertainment.

This is to congratulate you.

Sure. Thanks.

Anyway, what brings you by?

Do Do's here for the audition,
so I thought I'd swing by.

Director Ko,
I'm terribly sorry about last time.

I had the wrong idea about you...

and thought...

that you didn't cast Do Do
in "Don't Lie"...

because you held a grudge
against me.

That's why I acted out of line.

Please know
that I went to your elders...

and deeply apologized.

Yes, so I heard.

That being said,
I only opened a new agency...

because it was the only way...

to make ends meet
after Do Ra's passing.

Director Ko,
please give Do Do another chance.

Help me out...

for my late daughter's sake.

Everyone will get a fair shot
at today's audition.

If Do Do is right for the part,

I won't have a reason to reject her.

Prepare her well.

That stubborn peabrain.

Goodness, I appreciate
the encouragement.

Anyway, I'll head out
keeping that in mind.

Thank you.
Please think fondly of her.

[Open audition
for "The House of Roses"]

Ji Young, don't be nervous.

Just watch your dialect.
Break a leg.

Right. I practiced a lot.

Are you nervous?

Don't be.

I'll begin.

Sure.

[Audition for "The House of Roses"]

Hey, why were you
at the vacation home?

For what reason did you go there?

I'm his fiancee,

so why were you at a place
I've never been to?

What were you scheming?

I bet you went there on purpose.

It was to seduce the chairman.

This is adultery.

Should I plaster your face
on social media as one?

How would you like
to live as an adulterer...

from the age of 27?

Would you like to be the reason
the chairman...

is also known as one?

Is that what you really want?

Good job.

My gosh.

She's incredible.

How can one
play a character that well?

Oh, no. I think she'll get the part.

My poor Do Do.

Do Do, wait!

How could you botch your lines?

I told you to focus,
not forget your lines.

I wanted to do well,

but there's nothing I can do
about the mistake I made.

This is all your fault.

You keep pushing me,

and now I'm too intimidated
when I need to perform.

Who's calling the kettle black?

You can't leave when I spent
so much money on you today.

Hey, you...

She'll be the death of me, darn it.

Are you kidding me?

Aren't you Myung Dong's boyfriend?

She looks like Do Ra for sure.

How can she be someone else?

Why do I keep seeing her as Do Ra?

This is baffling.

Gosh.

I see you were home.

Right. I just got in...

and had some ramyeon.
I'm heading back out.

Can you get me a glass of water?

Sure.

Gosh.

Here you go.

Right, thanks.

Mom.

You said you knew the tenant
at Director Ko's house.

That nuisance of a girl?
What about her?

You see...

Every time I see her,

I'm reminded of Do Ra.

Something about her
makes me feel like she's Do Ra.

I can't believe you.

Unbelievable.

I know it doesn't make any sense,

but I can't shake off the feeling.

Mom, could Do Ra's spirit...

have gone
to where that girl lives...

because it couldn't move on?

We used to live there,

and the girl lives there currently.

Could that be why?

Park Do Sik, you fool!

I'm on the verge of losing my mind.

I'm frustrated by how Do Do
didn't get a call back.

So cut the nonsense
and get out of here.

Or shut that mouth of yours.

You and that nonsense.

I could just... Darn it.

My head's k*lling me. Unbelievable.

Do Jun, the pasta's delicious.

- Really?
- Yes.

The risotto and soup you made
were tasty too.

You're an incredible cook.

I can't say I'm not.

Can you teach me the recipe
so that I can cook it for Pil Seung?

Sure thing.
It's actually easy to make.

By the way, Do Jun,

when you were in Korea
while your university was on break,

you said you had a mom,
a brother, and also a sister.

So why are you always here
even on your days off?

Don't you miss your family?

Well...

I don't want to see
my mom and my brother.

But I do miss my sister.

Then go see her.

I can't.

Why not?

My sister...

is no longer on this earth.

Gosh.

Do Jun, I'm sorry.

Oh, no. I...

It's all right.

Actually, I believe
that my sister's alive somewhere.

That's why it doesn't make me sad.

What did you all think?

I thought Kim Ji Young
was perfect for the role.

To put it straight,

I want her to play
the second female lead.

I loved her portrayal the most.

There's something special about her.

I also vote for Kim Ji Young.

Her acting was stellar,

but I also loved
how great she looked on camera.

Director Ko, what do you think?

She was the best in my opinion too.

Her lack of experience
could be worrisome,

but I don't think
it'll be a huge problem.

Bong Soo and Na Bi
are playing the leads,

so a rookie actor
can play the second female lead.

The show might seem fresher
that way.

Are you all saying
you want Ms. Kim for the role?

I object...

to casting Ms. Kim.

I'm against casting a rookie actress
for a role...

in an important project.

Ms. Jang,

throughout my career,
I've been lucky...

with the cast of my shows.

I have a good feeling
about her as well.

You should trust my hunch on this.

Sure. I'm well aware
of the experience you have.

However, it's too risky
to hire a rookie actress.

Also, I can't agree
that what we saw today...

was enough of a reason
to cast her...

as the second female lead.

Ms. Jang, when working
on "Don't Lie,"

Ms. Kim played
a small supporting role.

She wasn't in many scenes,

but the viewers kept asking...

who she was in the comments.

These days, the viewers
are better at telling...

who the gifted actors are.

Ms. Kim has the gift.

Still...

Also, the series
"The House of Roses"...

is a love affair
between a man and two women.

The character she'll be playing...

dresses herself up
as an ugly and innocent woman...

who gets her revenge
by approaching the couple...

and stealing the man.

While hiding who she really is,
she must live a lie.

Just look at Ms. Kim's eyes.

You can see
she harbors great secrets.

That's why I want her in this role.

The eyes are everything
when it comes to actors.

Besides, her image...

is the complete opposite
of our lead, who is Na Bi.

She seems innocent on the outside,

but she harbors
a burning passion inside her.

A villain who hides who she is...

as she plots to get the man.

Ji Young is perfect for the role.

I believe...

Ji Young will do a stellar job.

Let's think about it
for a few days and...

Ms. Jang.

I'm leaving for Paris
in two days with Director Ko...

to accept the Juniper Award...

and don't have the time.

If you were going to drag this out,

why did you bother
holding the audition today?

Let's decide right now.

We'll take a short break, then.

Director Ko, we need to talk.

Director Ko, this is wrong.

Sorry?

I know who Kim Ji Young is.

She's the tenant
who lives at your house.

She's the reason behind
your scuffle with Mr. Gong.

I don't want a troublesome woman
starring in our project.

She could create problems for us.

Ms. Jang, I already told you
it was a misunderstanding.

Besides, this is a business.

We're here to decide the best actor
to play the role.

That's why I'm saying this.

You may say
this is strictly business,

but personal feelings
can get involved.

I don't want to take such a risk
when this is our first project.

I don't understand why the writer
is head over heels for her,

but I'd like you to persuade her...

to cast someone else.

Ms. Jang,

you seem to be the one...

who's letting your personal feelings
sway you.

If I hadn't stayed professional,

I wouldn't have held
an open audition today.

Was there an actress
who did better than her...

or who was better for the role?

She was the best and that's a fact.

Not casting her
for personal reasons...

seems unfair to me.

Ji Young was here
not as my girlfriend...

but as an actress auditioning.

Also,

I can't persuade Writer Kim.

Once she has an idea,
she has to see it through.

She's the one
who created this character,

so who could know better
as to which actor to cast?

Ms. Jang, please trust
our judgment on this.

Also,

you said you'd trust my decisions.

Gosh. You worked so hard
preparing for this audition.

I'm sorry that kalguksu
is all I can treat you to.

When Popcorn Entertainment
solidifies itself as a good agency,

I'll buy you a steak
at a fancy restaurant.

Mr. Lee, why would you say that?

I love kalguksu.

Besides, on a day like this,

a hot bowl of kalguksu
warms you up inside.

This is Popcorn Entertainment.

What was that? Really?

Thank you so much. Sure.

What did they say?

Ji Young, we did it.

You did it!

What?

Are you serious?

Yes.

Tell me this isn't a dream.

It isn't. You got the part.

What?

Our tenant...

passed the audition
and got a role in Pil Seung's drama?

Yes. She just signed a contract.

Soo Yeon!

How could you let that happen?
You should've put a stop to it.

You should've said no.

I can't stand
that they see each other at home.

Knowing they'll work together too...

I really hate that.

I hate that so much.

I objected, Sun Young.

And I talked to Pil Seung too.

I objected to her
auditioning for the role as well.

But everyone else liked her.
It was a unanimous vote,

and the writer insisted too,
so I was left with no choice.

The project won't happen...

if the writer pulls out, you see.

What should we do about this, then?

Sun Young.

Could you ask her
to drop the project?

Say you can help so she won't
have to pay the penalty.

Right now, the only option
is to get her to back out herself.

Okay. I got it.

Hey. Are you saying
that country bumpkin...

decided to be in Pil Seung's drama?

Oh, my goodness. What's going on?

Things are getting worse and worse.

Who is it?

- Hi, how are you?
- Don't ask.

Do you have no conscience?

How dare you audition
to be in Pil Seung's drama?

Do you think we approve of you
because we haven't said anything?

Mother, keep quiet.

Ji Young.

Can you drop the drama?

I'm friends
with the production company CEO.

I'll call her so you don't have to
pay for breach of contract.

I want you to back out.

But I got the role
through a fair audition.

Ji Young!

You said you liked Pil Seung!

Then you shouldn't do this!

Our Pil Seung
is just getting started.

If word gets out that you're dating,

people are bound to gossip...

he gave his girlfriend a part.

How would that make him look?

Don't you even think?

Back out right away!

Why are you being so long-winded?

Ji Young.
If you want to work that badly,

break up with Pil Seung first.

Don't get in his way.

She should break up with me
to do what?

Who are you saying
is getting in whose way?

Grandma. What are you talking about?

You moron.

You left the TV station
to be successful.

How could you serve up
your girlfriend a role?

I didn't give her the role.

There was an impartial audition...

and the vote was unanimous.

Ji Young might be my girlfriend,

but first and foremost,
she's an actor.

You're calling her an actor?

You need to separate work and life.

If you give people roles
because you want to be around them,

something bad is bound to happen.

Why can't you
separate work and life?

That's not how I do things.

Ji Young got the role today,

but my emotions
played no part in it.

Stop it. Please don't fight
because of me.

My gosh. How dare you cry?

Are you crying
because Pil Seung's here now?

Because you want him
to feel sorry for you?

Grandma!

I'm sorry.
I apologize for everything.

What?

- You...
- Don't, Mother.

Stop it.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Ji Young.

You got in trouble because of me.

No. I should apologize to you.

I didn't think it through.

I shouldn't have auditioned.

The likes of me
shouldn't even dream of acting.

Why would you say that?

Over 20 people
auditioned for your role.

You beat them all to come first.

Do you know
how much the judges praised you?

Have confidence.

I said you wouldn't have to
hear stuff like that again.

I'm sorry you had to again.

I'll do whatever it takes...

to persuade my parents and grandma.

You just think about your acting.

You said you trusted me.

I trust you, Director.

Baby chick.

What?

Do you think
it's the right time for that?

Baby chick.

Chirp.

I'm nervous to go on a business trip
and leave you behind.

Maybe I shouldn't go.

Stop it.

Your family dislikes me...

because you're so immature.

I was kidding.

I'm worried something
will happen to you while I'm gone.

I'm not a child.

I'll be my cheerful self
and do fine without you.

Don't worry about me
and have a safe trip.

I'd love to...

see you receive a huge award.

It's so cool.

Okay. I promise to win an award.

Don't you have
an early sh**t tomorrow?

I do. I have to leave
after just three hours of sleep.

You have to leave early
to catch your morning flight.

You'll leave before me.

See you afterward.

Let's go home.

For tomorrow.

Mom. Why are you up?
I said I'd see myself out.

I couldn't allow that.
I should see you off.

You're the best.

Good luck.

Thanks.

Mom.

Please don't say...

anything weird to Ji Young
while I'm away.

Please.

Concentrate on your trip...

and forget about women.

It's an honor for you
and you should celebrate.

Okay. See you.

Have a safe trip.

Who films at 4 a.m.?

You didn't sleep a wink, did you?

I'm just fine. I don't mind at all.

- I'll go and say hi.
- Okay.

Hello.

Hello.

Hello, Director.

- Oh, hello, Ji Young.
- Hi.

What's this?

Jin Dan didn't come home last night?

I pleaded with him...

and he slept out yet again?

He has to be with her right now.

That country bumpkin.

She'll pay for it.

Hey, you! Open the door!

Open up this instant!

Darn you!

Gosh, I knew it.
She's not home either.

I had my doubts and I was right.
They're together somewhere.

Goodness.

What should I do to her?

- Open up.
- Ae Kyo. What are you doing?

You'll wake the neighborhood.

Sun Young. My Jin Dan
didn't come home last night.

I rushed over as soon as
the sun rose...

because I thought
he'd be with this brat.

She's not home either.

I swear they're together.

What?

Sun Young.
You saw Tae Hee too, didn't you?

Jin Dan's fiancée.

Didn't she look
intellectual and well-kept?

But this darn witch
got her teeth into him.

Because this vixen got to him,

the engagement might be called off.

It could be called off?
Are you serious?

I need to teach her a lesson.

I'll k*ll her and me both.

Hey.

She just got back.

Ji Young.

Did you sleep out last night?

Who were you with?

Who were you with?

No, Ae Kyo. Talk it out.

Why are you all out here
this early in the morning?

You're asking why? You darn witch.

You were with Jin Dan all night,
weren't you?

- What?
- His engagement might fall through,

and you dare ask why we're here?

- My gosh.
- Darn you!

Get off me!

Seriously...

Excuse me, ma'am.

I told you there was nothing
going on between me and Mr. Gong.

But why are you
being like this again?

I just got home
after working all night.

What did I do
to make you do this to me?

Working all night, my foot.

Hey! I'm warning you again.

You better not
sneak around my son ever again.

If you do, I'll k*ll you.
Do you understand?

Sun Young,
kick her out this instant.

Listen.

If what your friend says is true,

we will have to do something
about it.

I'm afraid someone
in the neighborhood will find out.

This just doesn't feel right.

Mom, Ji Young said
she was working all night.

- And she said it wasn't true.
- What?

I also think
it was Ae Kyo's misunderstanding.

Ji Young is dating Pil Seung.

She wouldn't do such a thing.

Come on. It doesn't matter
if it's true or not.

I just don't want our family
to get mixed up in this.

Sun Young.

We have to kick Ji Young out...

before Pil Seung comes back.

What?

Listen.

I didn't like you
in the first place.

But parents have a soft spot
for their children.

I didn't want to do anything
since Pil Seung liked you a lot.

That's why I was going to sit back
and watch how things would go.

I thought I would probably end up
liking you too.

But this isn't just right.

How could you drag Pil Seung
into a mess like this?

Ms. Kim, that's not true.

I swear I'm innocent.

Ji Young.

I don't believe
everything Mr. Gong's mom said.

But she is actually my friend.

And Mr. Gong's sister-in-law...

I mean, Soo Yeon,
the CEO of Pil Seung's company,

is also my friend.

While you're dating my son,

you keep getting involved
with Mr. Gong.

I don't even want to think about it.

I find it really upsetting.

You keep saying you're innocent,

but they say it takes two to tango.

Why does it keep happening
when it's not true?

I'm sure it's happening...

because you did something
to cause all the trouble.

I know Pil Seung likes you,

but you're not supposed to do this.

All our family
didn't think of you that way,

but you're just being shameless.

Ji Young.

If you really like Pil Seung
and care about him,

I think this is where
you should back off.

Of course.
And you should move out too.

That's the right thing to do.

And don't even try...

to put this on the Internet
or something...

saying
Director Ko Pil Seung's family...

forced you to move out.

I don't want to think of you...

as such an ignorant
and ungrateful tenant. Okay?

So you should hurry
and find a new place to live.

We will pay for the moving expenses.

Yes, Ms. So.

Ms. Kim, I'll move out.

I'll move out as you say.

Please don't worry about it.

Hello.

I'm looking for a room to rent.

Do Do keeps getting rejected...

from all the auditions.

Why is life so tough?

I already spent
nearly all the money...

I got from CEO Gong.

What do I do?

I just can't work
with you anymore, Ms. Baek.

I'll keep the deposit
as the pay for the work I've done.

If you want to ask for a penalty,

you should talk to my dad
who is a lawyer.

My gosh. Do Do,
that ungrateful brat!

Fine. You should leave me.

I don't want an actress like you.

What do I do now?

What am I supposed to do?

Has she lost her mind?

You want money?

Another 50,000 dollars?

I can't believe this.

How could you be so shameless?

Listen, Mr. Gong.

I'm not just asking for money.
I want to borrow it.

I understand I have
no right to ask you for this,

but the 50,000 dollars
you got me last time...

isn't enough
to foster a new actress.

Since I don't have enough money,

I'm just suffering
with no significant results.

I swear I'll pay you back.

I'll pay you back with interest.

We promised
not to see each other again.
You should keep your promise.

Get out.
I can't stand the sight of you.

Mr. Gong. Just do me this one favor.

My Do Ra will be really grateful
to you up there.

Ms. Baek!

Stop taking advantage
of your dead daughter.

She died a long time ago.

Mr. Gong.

If things worked out for you,

you could've been my son-in-law.

How could you be so harsh on me?

Mr. Cho, take this crazy lady
outside this instant.

- Now!
- Yes, sir.

Mr. Gong. Listen to me.

Get off me. I'll get myself out!

Please... My gosh.

- Please get out.
- Get off me! Let go!

Darn it!

Let go of me! Hey!

Oh, dear. You were born
under an unlucky star.

You have led such a turbulent life.

My gosh. How did you know that?

Do you think...

I'll be able
to get back on my feet again?

Only two years ago,

I had my own building in Gangnam.

I was living a decent life.

But after my daughter died,

I lost all my hopes.

One of my sons is
just working part-time,

and I don't even know
how the other is doing.

And nothing's working out
for my new business.

Now I just feel like...

I want to follow
my daughter to death.

What are you talking about?

You don't have a destiny
where you lose your child.

What?

My daughter died two years ago.

She's not dead.

Look here. She's living close by.
Why do you think she's dead?

What? She's living close by?

What a fraud.

If my daughter was alive,
she would've come to see me.

My 100 dollars
just went down the drain.

That's right.
I have to hold on to Do Do.

She will come back
if she's cast in a drama series.

I will go to the executive director
and make a scene.

If Do Do is not cast,

I will bite my tongue off and die
at the broadcasting station.

They can't be doing this to me.

[KMS Broadcasting Center]

Do Ra.

Do Ra!

Do Ra.

Do Ra!

- Do Ra.
- My goodness.

- Do Ra.
- You startled me.

Why are you doing this to me?

It was my daughter, Do Ra.

I'm sure it was my Do Ra.

You stink of alcohol.

Ma'am, I think you're drunk.

Why did you drink so much
in the middle of the day?

Right. I guess I'm drunk.

How could I mistake
that hillbilly for Do Ra?

Every time I see her,

I'm reminded of Do Ra.

Something about her
makes me feel like she's Do Ra.

What are you talking about?

You don't have a destiny
where you lose your child.

What?

My daughter died two years ago.

She's not dead.

Look here. She's living close by.
Why do you think she's dead?

Where did she go?

What on earth?

What's your problem?

Let me see!

What's your problem?

What do you think you're doing?

You're Do Ra.

You really...

are Do Ra.

What?

[Beauty and Mr. Romantic]

You were fighting over someone
who isn't on my level.

I don't ever want to see you again.

Why did you have to fall
for someone like her?

Is there a reason
you can't help yourself?

Ji Young looks like Do Ra.

How on earth can she be my Do Ra?

Just look at her.

That's right.
Do Ra was allergic to walnuts.

If the country bumpkin
is also allergic to walnuts...

Is there walnuts in this?

I'm sorry, but I have to hurry home.

Why can't I get
in touch with Ji Young?

Since yesterday,
she hasn't been answering my texts.

Could something have happened?

Why is it vacant?

Did she perhaps move out?
