(Episode 10)
Shin Suk Ho.
Why did you come all the way here?
What did you say?
Stop right there.
Don't come any closer.
Jeong Geu Rin.
Why did you do that to me?
Sorry? What did I do?
Why did you doodle on my drawing? You made me come all the way here.
How's that doodling?
Then, is it a masterpiece?
Then, why did you come all the way here at this hour over my doodling?
- Do you think I came here for that? - Yes.
Who do you think I am?
You look like someone who lacks affection and needs some compassion.
I came here because I wasn't happy with the way you work.
The person in charge is going to be late so I have to wait.
Excuse me.
Our manager's delayed on a work trip so she'll be back by the morning.
Is that so?
Our guest room is quiet and cosy.
It'll be tiring for you to go to Seoul and drive back tomorrow.
Why don't you sleep at the guest room and meet her tomorrow?
Is it safe?
There's a security guard 24 hours a day.
No way.
This is not right.
Where are you?
Why aren't you home, yet?
What? Tomorrow?
What do you mean?
Mr Shin is here for work. Why else would he be here?
The manager's arriving tomorrow.
Yes.
I'll get back as soon as I'm done here.
Don't worry about me. Sleep tight, okay?
Oh, gosh.
Yun Soo.
Do you know how to drive a van?
I don't have a license.
Taxi, then.
What's wrong?
Is it urgent?
Geu Rin went to settle the gig, but she can't come home tonight.
Darn it. Why did she have to go on her own?
Should I call Mr Shin, then? He can drive down.
They're there together.
What's the problem?
Did Mr Shin and Geu Rin go out for fun and not for business?
What about us?
What are you saying?
Your grades might drop. You need to study.
Are Suk Ho and Geu Rin on a business trip?
Hello, President!
You didn't go to bed?
Oh, dear. You knew I was bringing fried chicken, didn't you?
You smell nice, President.
I smell like chicken.
Would you like something to drink?
If I knew she was going so far, I would have gone with her.
Why would a singer go on a business trip?
Ha Neul, you're not acting like yourself.
Ha Neul, let's go for a walk.
Come on. Let's go.
Which one do you want to eat first?
You have a crush on Geu Rin.
What do you mean? I'm just worried about her.
She's with Mr Shin. Why would you be worried?
You're worried because he's with her, right?
I can keep a secret.
That's not what it is. There's no secret.
No wonder.
You were staring at Geu Rin differently.
That's not it.
I was...
a coward.
That's probably why Chan Hee's mom left.
Don't take too long.
It might be too late...
after you succeed.
Let's go inside for some fried chicken.
What do you mean?
Mr Shin is here for work. Why else would he be here?
(Ticket Office)
Yes, he's probably hungry, too.
I'm the manager.
I'm leaving now. Good luck with the meeting.
Don't call me.
I'm going to sleep until I reach Seoul.
What a traitor.
He doesn't know what camaraderie is.
I even brought him snacks.
Did you sleep on the street? You look terrible.
Where is Geu Rin?
I guess she'll be back later.
I missed the last train, so I waited for the morning train...
at the station. I'm super tired.
- I'm going to get some sleep. - Okay.
There is a joke that says...
you should never break a golf practise appointment.
But recently, I've been cancelling everything and living like this.
Why do you think this is so, Joo Han?
Whatever I do, I don't feel excited.
Whatever I eat, it doesn't taste good.
I'm annoyed all the time because of Entertainer Band.
I'm sorry, Sir.
Let's bring them down now.
Pardon? How?
Find a journalist with a sharp pen,
and inform them of Ha Neul's criminal background.
Yes, Sir.
Tyson.
Did you sleep well?
Say hello to Tyson.
Hi.
The vocalist...
How old is he?
He's 20.
Well, 1, 2, 3, 4...
What kind of concert is it?
I need to know the purpose and the age group...
Does Entertainer Band have a fan club?
Yes, it just started, so there aren't many of them yet.
A solid team work is crucial for a fan club.
What's that look?
Do I look like a spinster who used to be...
some idol group's fan...
but now, moved on to liking another pretty boy band?
No.
That doesn't mean I'm not a fan of Entertainer Band.
Because I insisted on Entertainer Band over others.
Thank you so much.
Who are the other singers performing?
The vocalist is just my type.
Statistically, those types like me.
Aren't I right, Maximus?
I'll send you the documents again by email.
Fill it out and send it back to me.
You should arrive an hour before the event starts.
If you need meals, we'll provide them.
Shall we set up the instruments?
We'll take care of everything.
You guys should just focus on looking pretty.
Okay.
- Aren't I right? - Yes.
Gosh, is that true?
This is a very serious article.
I'll be in trouble if it's a speculation.
The court in Busan has all the records.
Would it be a lie?
I know this looks bad, since we're in the same industry.
But it's Mr Shin who betrayed us first and left.
Did President Lee Joon Suk approve this?
Well, he doesn't have time...
to be concerned about such matter.
I'm telling you because I can't sit back and watch.
He was betrayed by an employee he trusted.
He's still very hurt.
He hasn't been meeting people lately.
Just take it as my concern for the company.
First, I'll go down to Busan and collect some materials.
(Busan Coverage)
(Driver's License)
Chan Hee's quick like his dad.
Why do you need a driver's license? Will you work as a driver?
One is enough.
What do you mean?
Ta-da.
Where do you think I've been?
You must be tired.
Not at all.
I got a perfect gig for the band.
Finally, you're doing something.
- Where's Mr Shin? - He left last night on a red-eye.
Do you guys need anything? I'm going out.
No.
- We have everything. - Okay.
Then, practise hard. Bye.
- Bye. - See you.
It's hot. The weather's gotten hot.
It's hot.
Jeong Geu Rin.
Did you sleep well last night? Weren't you scared?
It's a good thing that I didn't have to sleep in the car.
Aren't I like a professional?
I met with the manager and took care of everything.
She told me she was your fan.
She asked me about your age and said you were her type. Gosh.
I'll learn to drive.
Learn to drive? Why? I'll drive you to places.
I'll take you to see the blossoms.
Hey, I told you to call me "Manager".
Hey.
You did a thorough job.
Can I go ahead with it?
But...
the concept of the gig isn't clear.
A cultural festival with the locals?
- Is this a music concert? - I asked,
and she said there are five others scheduled to perform.
Who's coming?
She seemed annoyed by my questions,
so I couldn't ask any more.
Okay. You can go.
What is it? Are there more to report?
Well,
I thought it wasn't nice of you to leave without saying bye.
You have no sense of camaraderie.
I had a meeting in the morning.
Should I have a called a cab then?
That's why you left early.
I thought you left because my doodle made you upset.
You said it wasn't a doodle.
I was trying to cheer you up.
You took it the wrong way, and that was the problem.
Right, I took it the wrong way.
So don't play silly games with me.
- I'm warning you. - You're calling camaraderie...
a doodle and a silly game.
Gosh.
What?
Why is he calling?
Hello, Editor. It's been so long.
Well, you probably heard what happened to me.
I'm trying hard to survive.
Why did you call?
Okay.
I'll see you later.
- Won't you drink? - I quit drinking.
I could've come to your office. Why did you come out?
Because I can't talk this over in the office.
- What is it? - You formed a band, right?
Yes. It's getting some attention.
Please write us up later.
It looks like there will be an article out.
An article about my band?
Reporter Park is in Busan covering a story.
Is it true?
The vocalist, is he really a molester?
It's true. There's a record of his conviction.
I heard through the grapevine that you've grown up.
I was rooting for you.
But what on earth is this?
Did you know about it?
Yes.
But Ha Neul didn't do it.
- What do you mean? - He was framed.
His parents passed away, and he had no guardian at the time.
He was framed.
Do you know how hurt he is because of that?
Why is Mr Park covering that story?
It's strange.
I asked where he got the lead from.
I told him he can't go to Busan if he didn't have any grounds.
He told me he got the lead from KTOP.
I understand that Lee Joon Suk keeps you in check.
But why is he digging up dirt on a rookie's private life?
Sir,
I can't tell you anything right now.
The important thing is...
that Ha Neul didn't do it.
Whether if it's true or not, Mr Park will write the article.
I have no way to stop him.
I came here to warn you.
I understand.
Thank you.
Hello?
Yes. Speaking.
Is it that hard to find a good-looking man?
I've found him.
Okay.
Kyle?
Are you my designated driver?
Wow. My gosh.
I'm speechless.
Don't you have rehearsals...
Oh.
"I'll go quickly, Designated Driving Service".
Let's go quickly.
Kyle is my driver today
You can't tell Mr Shin.
Only Ha Neul knows.
Okay. Okay.
Sheesh. Everyone does that at your age.
When I was young and worked at a restaurant,
I used to use the hand wipes to clean the floor.
I stole them.
That's life. That's how everyone lives.
Hey.
- What? - It's 15 dollars.
I want my change.
You thief. You shouldn't be like that. Bad boy.
How will you live going forward?
You should be good.
Bye.
You really can't tell Mr Shin!
Zip it.
The door is unlocked.
Life is
Why are you still up? You slept at the office last night, too.
Aren't you tired?
Man Shik.
I need to see Lee Ji Young.
Lee Ji Young?
Why?
I need to ask her something for one last time.
Hi, Twinkle.
- Hello! - Hello!
Go on. Go on.
Someone wants to see you.
- Who? - Shin Suk Ho.
I have no reason to see him.
What's the "key chain"?
He said he needs to talk to you about that.
I know you wanted to become a star,
but did you have to make your little brother do something like that?
What do you mean?
This is your brother's, isn't it?
It is my brother's.
He said he lost it. I guess it was in the house.
I never said I found it in the house.
That's enough.
You know you've already stepped into quicksand.
If you stay there, you'll never get out.
You need to get out now if you want to live.
I'm not the one caught in quicksand.
How's Ha Neul?
Tell him I say, "Hi."
Goodbye, then.
I don't have patience to give you three strikes.
You get two.
Turn yourself in.
I don't know what you mean,
but you can come 100 times. It'll still be a waste of time.
Is everyone working hard?
- Hello. - Hello.
Where's the drummer?
He has class.
That's right. He's in school.
Sir! We have a gig.
A gig?
Wow!
You're on the up and up.
You know what?
I'll treat you to dinner.
- Steak! Steak! - Come now. Nothing beats Chinese.
There's a place called Chef Restaurant.
I'm a regular there. Their food is pretty good.
Yes, Chef.
Let's see.
I'll make a reservation. We have 1, 2, 3, 4...
Invite Suk Ho and that pretty lady CEO, too.
(Exclusive Contract)
Can't you desire the person, Jang Man Shik,
instead of just my songs?
No.
Meanie.
Sign already.
The 10-year friendship between us and Suk Ho can shine.
Three songs are too many.
You don't write three songs in a year?
I may work with other singers, too.
I see. You'll work only with singers who top the charts.
You have no idea how much I care.
Did you write a new song?
Do you know...
how to contact Lee Ji Young's parents?
Why do you ask?
- You want to meet them? - Yes.
She won't budge, so I thought I'd meet her parents.
I see. Her mum changed her number from what she used in Busan.
I don't know if her dad still uses the same number.
Send it to me.
Excuse me. We should prepare for our second song.
Come listen.
Okay.
I'm going to cry.
It's 2 dollars and 20 cents
The beer you drank
Cost 2 dollars and 20 cents
My money
You will never know
That the total may be 2.2 grand
Or it may be 22 grand
You left me empty
Drank me.
So I will leave you high and dry
We'll meet again in the toilet
What do you think?
I called a busy guide singer and worked on this all night.
What do you think?
Can't you write just music and not lyrics?
I told you a million times not to write lyrics.
Forget it. I won't give it to you. I can't.
Mr Byun said he'll buy dinner tonight.
It's a super famous Chinese restaurant.
Learn from him, will you?
He is so generous.
I'm not coming.
I just don't get along with him.
Chan Hee, what do you want to eat? What do you like?
Sweet and sour pork.
No, no, no.
I've already placed the order,
so just eat what comes out.
I'm pretty quick.
I told you not to take reservations from Bangeurae.
He makes them under a different name each time.
He always books a room and orders jajangmyeon.
The food here is great.
Enjoy. They are double servings, so it should be plenty.
The daikon is free refills, so eat as much as you want.
Daddy, I want sweet and sour pork.
This jajangmyeon is good too.
I told you, we don't get along.
Is this really the end of it?
This is a lot of calories.
It's harder to lose the weight.
Our metabolism is fast in our 20s, so we won't gain weight in one day.
Seoul University.
The 30s will enjoy.
Thank you.
Still. Shouldn't we at least have beer or something?
We should teach them how to be proper.
Stop acting like it's the 70s.
That's right. You drove. We can get soda, right?
I can call a designated driver, since Kyle is right here.
You're a designated driver?
Sometimes, when I can't sleep.
If somebody comes to see you,
tell them you lost your key chain long time ago.
Why would you leave behind something like that?
If you lost it, you should have told me!
Ji Young.
This is too much for me.
What if we get punished?
Stop with the nonsense.
You moved to Seoul and live in a nice house because of me.
Just watch your mouth.
Hello, is this Kyung Soo's father?
Yes.
I'll like to speak to you regarding Kyung Soo.
May I visit you at your home in Busan?
Pardon?
In Seoul?
Please have a drink.
Thank you.
There's a lot of work, so I couldn't afford extra time.
- I'm sorry. - No worries.
Thank you for letting me talk to you.
Did you want to speak to me about Kyung Soo?
You know... That incident.
You know it's not Ha Neul, right?
I'm the CEO of the agency that Ha Neul's band belongs to.
What I wanted to discuss with you was about the fact...
that Kyung Soo was on scene while the incident occurred.
Ji Young probably made Kyung Soo take a video for evidence.
How could your sister afford this phone for you?
I already told you she took my phone.
Why would she take your phone?
Gosh, how annoying.
She probably wanted to buy a new phone for her brother.
Why are you causing a commotion? You're being so loud.
Is this a toy?
She bought him something you couldn't get him.
Just say, "I'm sorry. Thank you."
What would I know?
I wasn't on scene.
You must be bothered enough that you can't use her money.
That's why you work.
Is Ha Neul doing well?
He's a candle in face of the wind.
It's true this has to do with Ha Neul,
but Ji Young might fall into danger, too.
It'll be best if you convince her to confess.
Fans might support her,
but if she turns out to be different than they thought,
then the backlash will be as big.
Ji Young will be hurt less if she confesses.
Kyung Soo is young. Imagine how insecure he must be feeling.
Well...
I don't know anything, so I can't tell you much.
I'm sorry.
Have you prepared well for tomorrow's gig?
You are back.
I just rechecked everything.
I confirmed the travel time, make-ups and necessary work trips.
Okay.
Get some rest. You need to drive early tomorrow.
You'll be coming too, right?
I should be there for the first gig.
I have to meet someone before I go, so you can go first.
How will you be getting there?
I'll take care of it.
Take good care of the kids. Drive safe.
Yes, Mr Shin.
I'll be responsible for them,
so you can take you time.
She's starting to sound like a manger.
(Jinu)
(Send)
Did you drag Kyung Soo into this?
What on earth did you do?
It's already been taken care of. What more do you want?
Tell me the truth.
I don't understand how you made your debut all of a sudden.
Do you have a clue how this industry works?
Please stop now.
Why would you do parcel delivery?
If you get exposed, they'll make me the bad daughter.
What I'm doing is not bad.
What you are doing is bad.
Please!
Don't come any more.
If my agency finds out, it'll grow out of proportion.
We weren't well off,
but we used to be a happy family.
Right now,
your mum and you might enjoy this,
but Kyung Soo and I are hardly living.
Don't ever come again.
Ji Young!
Suk Ho.
- Hello, Sir. - Hey.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
You are working hard these days.
The news is all over the town, right?
I'm working night and day like before.
Didn't I lose weight?
You haven't changed, Suk Ho.
Let's have some haejangguk and talk.
Did you drink yesterday?
I told you to think about your daughter and drink less.
It's not easy raising a baby.
Are you Kyung Soo?
Who are you?
You're Ji Young's brother, right?
I am.
Do you still have an accent?
You are in Seoul now, thanks to your sister. You should change it.
Who are you?
This is yours, right?
If somebody comes to see you,
tell them you lost your key chain long time ago.
Yes.
Why was this found on the scene of your sister's accident?
Are you two siblings...
scheming something without my knowing?
I lost this long time ago.
I didn't know it was there.
If...
you are scheming something,
I won't leave you and your sister alone.
Understood?
(Jinu)
Yes, Jinu.
What you told me to think about,
I thought about it.
I'm okay.
I would rather...
relieve my conscience this way.
Everything will work out, Jinu.
For you...
and for Ha Neul.
What is this?
(Yangju Museum Opening Celebration Concert)
She's so cool.
Jeong Geu Rin.
Please give a big hand for the next performing artists.
Excuse me.
This seems a bit problematic.
Do you think a pretty boy band fits in at an elderly event?
What?
Is there something wrong with the elderly enjoying younger music?
Isn't it nice to see them in a cheerful mood?
That's not what I meant.
Our band adheres to a concept.
Our band is at complete odds...
with all the trot artists on stage.
We all contribute to culture. Such prejudice is unacceptable.
It's a concert that embraces all generations.
It's original and heart warming. Oh, my.
Can I get the vocalist's autograph?
He looks much better in person.
Have I mentioned that he's my ideal type?
This is the highlight of today's event.
We have a pretty boy band with us.
Give a round of applause for Entertainer Band!
What kind of music is this?
- What is it? - Who are they?
- I don't know them. - It's from today's generation.
- Let's liven it up. - Pardon?
Let's liven up the atmosphere.
How?
- No way. - Come on.
Oh my gosh.
I think I'm going to get a promotion.
This is ahead of its time.
Who wouldn't love this performance?
Do you have a shovel?
Are you going to bury me?
This is a nice monument. I'll stick you right beside it.
Please, Sir.
Don't be cute with me.
- I'm sorry. - You call this a concert?
I asked her a lot of questions, but the replies were all ambiguous.
Can't you tell?
She's an old spinster on the verge of becoming crazy,
- that Ms Jo or whatever she is. - In 1, 2, 3.
- Another one? - You like me, don't you?
- No, it's okay. - In 1, 2, 3.
In all my life, this is my first elderly event.
Be well. I almost got stuck here with you.
Good work, everyone.
Still, Geu Rin worked hard to get you this gig.
Let's applaud her.
Good work!
Did you see my guitar skills?
Get some sleep until we get home.
Yes, Sir.
- Sir? - Yes?
When will you get your license back?
Why do you ask?
Are you concerned about Geu Rin?
If she's tired, she can switch with Kyle.
Yes, our designated driver.
Everyone, go to sleep.
It's the manager's job. Don't worry and go to sleep.
You're not playing fair.
Managers must attend events and concerts out of town...
for many days at a time to secure a gig.
It will happen often.
Are you going to worry about Geu Rin...
every time she has to go alone?
She's not accustomed to being alone anywhere.
Geu Rin has a job now. She's a manager.
She's never travelled alone or driven much,
but those are her responsibilities now.
Let's get this straight.
She's your manager, not your sister.
Once you get that straight,
you can express concern.
Yes, Sir. I understand.
To us, it's fine.
But at least for the others,
it's not viable for them to to see Geu Rin as your sister.
Yes, Sir.
Hey, guys.
What kind of concert did you go to?
There are videos being circulated over SNS.
It's been viewed over 65,000 in one day.
I don't think she was a hysterical old spinster.
She was just a passionate fan, Sir.
She's a great manager.
She's boosting the band's popularity.
How did you get this gig? It's awesome.
You're saying that because you weren't there.
It was hard to liven up the mood.
It's okay to praise her for good work, right?
I study better when I'm praised instead of getting nagged.
Geu Rin's hard work...
paid off.
Are you siding with her because you all live together?
You're making me an outcast.
We share the same office. You can't leave me out.
Yes, Sir. I'm on your side, Sir.
Since we're on the same side, let's go to the bathroom together.
Yes, Sir. I have business to attend there.
When did you start offering services as a designated driver?
After Ha Neul moved to Seoul,
I thought I should at least pay for meals.
I feel too cramped working at cafes or fast food restaurants.
Hey, Kyle.
Entertainer Band isn't famous yet,
but you're still a public figure.
It's commendable that you're trying to earn a living.
Just wait a little longer.
It's not too difficult. I don't get recognised yet.
I'm sorry for making you do that.
I'll work hard,
so that you can drive your own car.
There's a car that I like.
Let's go inside. They'll think we're constipated.
Okay.
Yes! I'm getting a car.
Little punk.
Don't be too late.
It might be too late...
after you succeed.
Excuse me.
May I have your autograph?
Excuse me?
Do you know me?
Aren't you Jo Ha Neul from Entertainer Band?
I don't have an autograph yet.
Please just sign your name along with our store's name.
I'm glad I quit being a designated driver.
Everyone would start asking for my autograph.
Young girls don't drink.
Okay, Mr Seo Jae Hoon.
What is this? Your autograph is the worst.
Can't we just write our name?
- No, we can't. - Okay.
Why are you studying?
Geu Rin, do you want my autograph?
- What? - You're working hard Ms Jeong.
What? Were you practising your autographs?
You're all so funny.
We need to practise, so that it'll seem natural when we give them out.
You must be fortune tellers.
What do you mean?
We'll be on a television broadcast in two days.
That's awesome.
- Hurry, we need to practise. - Sign away.
- Let's go. - Hurry up.
- My gosh. - Hurry, keep signing.
- Chan Hee, you too. - Start signing.
Na...
- Chan... - Chan...
- Hee. - Hee.
Do you want to do it again?
Over here.
- Na. - Na.
(Caramel)
- Hi, Suk Ho. - I need to speak privately.
Are you alone?
Ha Neul, listen carefully.
(Exclusive: Entertainer Band's Jo Ha Neul's Confession)
(He and the girl were close friends and neighbours.)
Hey, wouldn't it be okay if the article is published after the show?
Reporter Park will publish that article today.
Since you're worrying, we'll be okay.
The kids know about it, too.
Even if you cancel the broadcast, I'll understand.
(Twinkle)
Hello, excuse me.
Isn't he the vocalist of Entertainer Band?
There is only one person in the world...
that I want completely destroyed.
It's you.
Just you.
I'll be cheering you on.
Good luck.
He's so cool.
Are you dating?
She looks like she got dumped.
You went all the way to Busan for an exclusive,
but it looks like someone got to it first.
Shoot.
I'm certain that someone leaked the information to Mango.
No one knew about it.
If you find out who, I'll get involved.
You worked hard, though. How about an afternoon drink?
No thank you.
Darn it.
(Exclusive: Entertainer Band's Jo Ha Neul's Confession)
(I was framed for sexual assault, but I couldn't give music up.)
Shin Suk Ho, you freak!
Seriously.
I see you took the initiative.
You brought this upon yourself.
You'll have to watch Jinu die.
(Entertainer Band's Jo Ha Neul's Confession)
Where were you? Are you okay?
Can you sing?
We're fine, so if you're not up for it...
He's right. Let's speak to Mr Shin and leave.
Ha Neul, stop acting strong.
It might be better than making a mistake on air.
We all knew this day would come.
As long as you guys are all right,
I think I'll do just fine.
This may be our final performance.
So show them everything.
Just like how Kyle decided to trust Ha Neul's kindness,
let's convince the public...
to believe in yours and Ha Neul's...
innocent faces.
So...
let's give it everything we've got.
- Okay? - Okay.
Okay.
Let's go.

Is it true that you've been charged with sexual assault?
Do you have evidence to prove your innocence?
Should I reveal how you used plagiarised music?
Did you forget who stole...
his brother's sheet music and handed it to me?
Ha Neul hasn't returned yet, right?
He wouldn't do anything rash, would he?
It's difficult, right?
Daddy is the star today.
I can't say "Daddy" out loud?
I feel like if I can't clear my name,
no one will listen to our songs.
