The restroom was busy.
I see.
Well...
The restroom here is still...
I see.
Does everyone get like that after treatment?
No, that person seems to be a severe case.
Mine wasn't that bad.
Are you sure you don't want to move to a private room?
Gosh, I'm used to this.
Private rooms are very expensive.
Will you request a private room every time, not just once?
I understand you're uncomfortable here.
But everyone in this room is going through the same thing,
so it's nice to root for each other.
I'm not saying this because I'm uncomfortable here.
There's only one restroom here,
so you'll probably...
Mr. Geum, if I move to a private room,
you'd have to stay right by my side at all times.
You need to step out here and there to grab a bite to eat...
and get some fresh air.
But if I'm in the room alone, you won't be able to do that...
because you'll be worried.
If you're always right by my side,
looking all worried...
Gosh, that'd make me uncomfortable.
Wherever I go, I prefer places that are busy and bustling.
Last time, you moved me...
to a private room when I was all out of it,
but let's just stay here from now on. Okay?
- Okay. - Ms. Kang Mo Ran.
Yes. Are we starting my treatment?
No. We have your test results. Everything looks good,
but your white blood cell count is on the low side.
You'll get an injection today. We'll see how that goes...
and proceed with the treatment tomorrow.
If it's low, does it mean it's risky?
No, not necessarily.
But if it's low, you're more susceptible to infection.
We'll give you an injection to get it back up.
It may cause flu-like symptoms.
Vomiting, headaches, backaches, for example.
Call us if the symptoms are severe.
- Sure, I will. - Good.
Then just a moment, please.
It's okay. We'll fight and win, you know.
Right, we must win.
- It's Young Bok. - I see.
I have to take this call.
Hey, not yet. What?
Hello.
- Hello. - Yes, I'm a new patient here.
My gosh. Caregiving is an exhausting job.
I brought some fruit from home. Would you like some?
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 99)
You became someone special for me.
Hey, you're back.
Is the restaurant still busy?
No, everyone has left.
I'm tired. I'll be upstairs.
Okay, rest up.
Hey, what's with Ga Eun?
She helped Sang Baek clean up, so I guess she's tired.
- I see. Get some rest. - Okay.
Hey, Geu Roo isn't home yet, so keep the lights on.
Okay. Good night.
Wait!
Hey, let's talk.
Let's talk tomorrow.
Geu Roo isn't home yet.
Let's have a quick talk. Please?
Then let me wash up first.
Okay.
You know...
- Well... - What were you thinking?
Get married?
We never even talked about it.
Right, we didn't.
I understand that we got caught,
and when they were asking us if we'd be okay...
with running into each other at family events after breaking up,
I was really flustered too.
But you can't just say stuff like that.
What are we going to do now?
I didn't know you could be so reckless.
When I suggested that you try getting into illustrations...
and practically begged you to at least meet with the writer,
you were so cautious and careful.
What do you take me for?
Did you say that just to get out of the situation?
Or do you think getting married is no big deal?
Did you think I'd just say yes...
and go along with it because I like you?
No, not at all. What are you talking about?
I admit that it was a reckless thing to say.
I shouldn't have blurted it out like that in that situation.
But I didn't say it just to get out of the situation,
or because I think getting married is no big deal.
Then what's your deal?
Why did you say that out of the blue?
It's not out of the blue.
I'm...
serious about it.
It may have been a surprise to you,
but I'm sure it wasn't totally unexpected.
I want to marry you.
I've been thinking about it for a while now.
I wasn't planning on saying it to you like this,
but it was something I had to say eventually.
Are you proposing to me?
To marry you?
But let me emphasize again that this wasn't the plan.
I'll do it properly again later on...
Wait, Ga Eun!
Ga Eun, let's finish this talk.
Ga Eun.
What do we do about them?
Nothing.
They're adults, you know. I'm sure they'll figure things out.
I just wanted to let them know what could actually happen.
They want to get married?
I'm sure Sang Min has no savings.
I know he signed the illustrator contract,
but he probably has no money left if he paid off his debt.
What's gotten into you?
I thought you'd say, "They'll figure it out..."
"if they love each other."
Gosh, that's wrong.
I thought I could achieve anything in the world when I proposed to you,
and that's why I put you through so much trouble.
Now that I'm a business owner,
I should be more realistic.
I was going to say they'd be okay if they worked hard...
and started saving now.
You were going to say that?
Since you're such a dreamer, I'm becoming more like you...
while you're becoming a realist like me.
That's what's happening.
Gosh, my back...
- Lie down. You must be tired. - Yes.
- I'll give you a massage. - Gosh.
Yes, I should mind my own business.
Like you said, they're adults. They'll figure it out.
Just leave them be. Ga Eun seemed as surprised as we were.
So if they were to talk about it, it wouldn't be an easy conversation.
Anyway, we'll just keep it a secret.
Okay.
Lower, honey.
- Where? Here? - Yes. That's nice.
Honey.
If the restaurant was always this busy,
I'd have nothing to wish for.
Don't be greedy. I don't have high expectations.
As long as it's better than always worrying about getting fired...
and as long as we can pay back our debt little by little...
and live like this.
We're doing it to live better, so things should get better.
I'll do a good job, honey. Don't worry about a thing.
All right. You must be tired. Let's get some sleep.
Okay, let's sleep. And we'll start making money tomorrow.
Gosh, stop talking about money.
Here, lie down.
Turn off the lights.
All right.
It's hot.
Honey, it's hot.
Thanks.
I'll be busy with meetings today. What are you doing today?
I have auditions.
You do?
I must say, you're so persistent.
You've failed so many auditions. Aren't you exhausted?
Think before you talk.
Is that a compliment? Or are you being sarcastic?
I'm just worried, that's all.
So what's it for this time? A movie or a TV drama?
Just this and that.
Are you that interested in what I do?
Yes, I am.
I see that you are improving.
Okay, have a good day. See you later!
We're getting along for a change. What if this causes trouble?
No. My life is mine.
Geu Roo, do you want to meet my friends this evening?
- Your friends? - Yes, my best friends.
I told them about you.
They always wanted to meet you,
and all of them happen to be free this evening.
Well, I'm not sure.
I know you don't love spending time with people you don't know,
but I wouldn't be bringing this up if they weren't my close friends.
They're my best friends, and we grew up together.
You'll like them. They're all hilarious.
Right, you guys must be friends because you're similar.
But I'll meet them another time.
Another time? When?
They're all busy.
It'll be hard to gather all of them again.
Let's just go have dinner with them, okay?
No. I'll be uncomfortable.
But you should go. Have fun with your friends.
- Goodness. - What did they say?
Oh, I managed to move the date.
Who's attending the audition?
From the editorial team, Ja In is going.
What about the marketing team?
Oh, Mr. Im is going.
I see. All right, then.
And about the book flea market next month.
There should be things we can do with the theater company.
I saw those actors in the children's play.
- We can totally do this. - Yes.
I was told I already got the part...
and was asked to come in to just meet with the director,
but this feels like an audition.
Look.
Is this how it's going to be?
I'm sorry.
I did go over the entire script,
but I wasn't expecting this.
Please contact us when things are finalized.
The rumors about her were true.
She thinks she can be like that because she's high in demand.
Her manager said earlier that she has other offers lined up.
They want us to get it sorted out quickly.
Darn it. Are there no other actresses?
Out of all the actresses we've seen,
she sure is the best one, acting-wise.
She is good. That's why we asked her to come in today.
But her tone hasn't changed at all.
She's doing what she's been doing for the past 20 years.
And this character is a mother. What's with the fake lashes...
and the high heels?
Come on. We should be understanding about that.
She has her personal schedule too.
It's the least she could do to show us that she cares.
She expects to get paid as much as the lead actors do...
when she's not even willing to lift a finger.
We really need to finalize the casting for the role now.
What should we do?
Gosh, it'd be exhausting to work with her though.
What do you think?
Well, as long as you're okay with...
Sorry. I'm sorry to interrupt.
What are you doing here?
Hello, I'm Park Jung An.
I'm sorry I'm late.
The traffic wasn't so bad,
but I got the time mixed up with something else.
I apologize.
I see. It's okay.
Take a moment to catch your breath.
What are you doing?
Okay, thank you.
Just a moment. It's hot in here.
I'm sorry. My kid threw up a little right before I left home.
I'll just keep the jacket on.
What are you doing?
Did you two plan this?
Hey, did you know about this?
Let's proceed with this interview. We don't have time, you know.
You seem very busy. Can you manage the job as the director?
Yes. I am a single mother,
so I always wish there were more hours in the day,
but I get my job done.
I was a dancer at PSC.
I retired about ten years ago,
and I've been working as a choreographer since then.
I've never been a director,
but I did work as the manager of the dance company I was with,
so I'm familiar with the tasks.
Oh, please excuse me for a moment.
I'm sorry. I have to take this call.
Yes.
More vomiting?
I'll be home soon.
Keep giving warm water.
Okay.
Sorry about that. That was my babysitter.
My kid's not feeling well today.
I always bluffed that I'd never have a kid...
and live a glamorous single life.
But I ended up getting married after I hit 40...
and got a child.
But I must say,
it's really hard being a single working mother.
It's exhausting.
You said you were married.
Oh, I got a divorce.
I found out I was pregnant after divorcing my ex-husband,
so I considered getting back together with him...
but decided against it.
I'm human...
before I'm a mother and a wife.
I wanted to live a decent life as a human being,
but it wouldn't be possible with that jerk.
(Arang Publishing)
He's a good person.
Yes, I know. He's a wonderful person.
So? So what will you do?
Mom!
Yes, what's up?
The drama will begin in a minute. Hurry and join us.
Okay. Wait, Sol.
Yes? What is it?
Well, you know...
What is it?
Are you happy now, Sol?
What?
Of course, I'm happy. I'm always happy when I'm with you.
Why? Are you not happy, Mom?
Of course, I am. You're all I need to be happy.
Yes. All right, then.
Let's go. The drama is about to begin. Hurry.
Okay.
Are you home now?
No, not yet.
Are you drunk?
Geu Roo, can't you join us now?
My friends really want to meet you.
I told you already. Don't be like this.
All right, then. You don't need to meet my friends.
Just come and pick me up, okay?
I brought my car.
Come and drive me home.
You knew you were going to drink. Why did you take your car?
It's getting late. Just call a relief driver, okay?
All right.
Is he really drunk?
Gosh, she's heartless.
Why can't she come and pick me up?
No, never mind.
Not picking me up doesn't mean she doesn't love me.
Hyun Si Woon, you fool. Goodness.
This is just what Geu Roo is like.
Just love her for who she is.
But my feelings are hurt.
You little...
I know you're pretty, but so what?
Hey, yes. I'm coming back in.
Where am I now? I was going to the restroom...
Hey, hold on. Where am I?
Wait, hang on.
I made a right earlier...
Oh, found it. I know where I am.
Yes, I'll be back in a second.
Here you go.
How is it? Nice and cool, right?
Yes, indeed.
Why does your face feel hot when your temperature has come back down?
Not sure. I feel as though I swallowed a ton of wasabi.
I guess it's because the drugs they used are strong.
I hope they're killing all the bad things inside my body.
Can I have some candy?
Oh, sure.
Do you still have a bitter taste in your mouth?
Can you still smell the drugs?
No, I just wanted some candy. That's all.
Oh, it's almost done.
You must be tired.
You've been here all day,
watching me get fluids...
and all sorts of injections nonstop.
Even just seeing this should be exhausting.
I'm so sorry.
I was so worried you'd react badly again...
to the treatment,
but it went well this time, so I can't be happier.
You did so well.
The first treatment went well.
I just have to do this a few more times.
- See? It's nothing scary. - You're right.
You're still torn?
I think...
Min Hee should do it.
Out of all the actresses we've met, she knows the character the best...
and cares the most about the role.
That's clearly because you gave her some pointers.
No, I didn't.
I just told her the time so we could have a proper meeting with her.
I did expect her to come prepared,
but I thought she'd just read lines from a couple of scenes.
I had no idea she'd show up...
dressed as the character from head to toe.
The moment she walked in,
I thought she was Jung An.
I understand people would gossip...
even if she got the role fair and square.
But if she doesn't get the role just because...
her husband is the director although she fully deserves it,
that's not fair either.
My gosh.
Honey, you're home.
So? What's your decision?
Let me wash up first.
Okay, go ahead. Do you want a beer?
- Sure. - Okay.
Not too bad, so far. But I'm not sure.
- Hey, Oh Min Hee. - Yes?
How could you do this?
I can't believe you didn't tell me.
I was surprised that you didn't seem mad at me.
What? I went there as an actress,
not to see my husband,
so I didn't have to tell you.
Also, it's not like you would've told me...
to come in for the meeting if I had told you.
You would've just cut me off.
Sit down.
Yes, you did a good job.
You did a great job analyzing the character and looked like her.
But that's not everything.
You know well that you always try to stand out.
I'm sure you'll fall back into that habit,
but you cannot go overboard like that for this character.
Do you think you can manage?
Well, you can...
I mean, you can direct me as the director.
You're known for giving such detailed directions to other actors.
Director Geum, I really want to do a good job this time.
I won't improvise my lines.
I promise I won't go all out...
while ignoring other actors' lines.
I swear, I want to impress everyone as an actress this time.
And I'm ready. Please?
If you get the role,
there will be no special treatment.
Don't expect me to be extra understanding and attentive.
You'll get none of that.
Don't expect that from me.
Of course, I won't.
I really want you...
to treat me the same as all the other actors.
Be fair. No special treatment.
And you can't treat me like a joke on set.
You have to respect me as the director.
Sure thing! I draw a clear line between work and home.
So? What's the verdict?
Am I getting the role? Yes?
- What is this? - Get ready for the read-through.
What?
"For Actress Oh Min Hee"?
He even printed this for me!
My gosh, honey.
I can't believe you!
You scared me when the decision had already been made.
I'm not sure if I made the right decision.
Are we sure we can handle seeing each other all day at work?
Yes, of course we can! I'll be glued to you like this.
Geum Sang Gu! I mean, Director Geum.
I promise I'll do a great job. I'll do my best.
Right, I should practice my lines.
What was that?
When she won't even let me into her room.
