If they were just feelings that would change easily...
If that's all those feelings were,
why did they bother liking me in the first place?
Kang Hee.
The reason people say those things...
Don't try to make me understand them.
For me, my mother, who gave birth to me,
my closest friends,
and my fans, who adored me,
all changed in the end.
What about you?
Can you...
promise me that you'll never change?
Forget it. You can go.
Kang Hee.
Are you okay?
I'm fine.
(Final Episode)
Come in.
Why are you standing there?
This place will be empty until Yu Na gets discharged,
so make yourself at home.
That's Yu Na's room, and that's my room.
You should sleep in my room.
My bed should fit you.
I wasn't asking to borrow your place.
You don't have anywhere to go right now.
Isn't that why you came to me?
It should have the basics you need, so go ahead and use them.
Please let me make it up to you for the fan letter.
It would make me feel better.
This is all...
because you got involved in my life with those fan letters.
Do you even know?
It's true I don't have anywhere to go,
but I came because of you.
You were the only one I could think of.
I didn't come to you last...
after checking in with other people.
That must be your manager.
- I'll text you. - Okay.
Also,
I can't stay with her all the time.
Can you please check from time to time to see if she's eating properly?
Of course. I'm her manager, after all.
- Please don't worry. - Thank you.
Delivery for Unit 202.
- We didn't order... - I did.
- Bye. - Enjoy.
It's what Kang Hee loves the most.
She eats chicken feet when stressed.
But...
I don't think she's in the mood...
That hurts!
Did my chicken feet come?
Bye, Jung Seok.
I'll go in too.
This smells insanely good.
Did you add the cheese topping?
- Of course. Who do you take me for? - Good job.
This is tasty.
Gosh.
Now I feel better.
If you don't play, you lose. Rock, paper, scissors!
Yes! Loser!
The loser cleans up, right?
No. The winner gets hit on the head.
Clean it up.
Thank you for the meal.
But you ate most of it...
I'll get going, Kang Hee.
Call me if anything happens.
- Okay, bye. - Bye.
Yes, Ms. Yoon.
Kang Hee is fine.
She's totally okay.
Please don't worry.
I'll be in touch. Okay.
Okay.
All right.
Yes. Bye.
Apologize!
- You better apologize! - Apologize!
- Hey! - Are you guys serious?
Go away!
- Hey, run. - I told you to stop.
Gosh.
It's permanent.
By the way,
she is keeping silent for too long.
Maybe there's some dirt after all.
What do you mean?
To be honest,
you don't know what she was like during her school years either.
What about Gu Hye Ri? Still nothing?
Well...
She got back to us, but...
Okay. What did she say?
She has a panic disorder,
so the situation is too difficult for her.
But she's good enough to post on her social media account, right?
I came to prepare for the radio show.
Please look forward to the honest and cheerful Hye Ri!
Promise?
(Likes)
Hye Ri.
I'm so sorry about last time.
I shouldn't have asked if you were friends with Kang Hee.
It must have made you uncomfortable.
It can happen if you don't know.
(Take two pills, twice daily)
Is this it?
Pills for your panic disorder?
Yes.
What's the matter?
I think...
I should take this before the recording.
Right. Water?
I'll grab it for you right away. Hold on just a second.
Water.
I said, no!
I can draw better.
I'm good at drawing too.
Gosh. Han Kang Hee came.
My gosh.
What are all these?
I thought you might be getting sick of delivery food.
You told me you like to cook.
- By the way... - Yes?
All I could see was you at the grocery store.
It's harder to find a product without your face on it.
I bet.
You can see a day of the modern man through the commercials I'm in.
Haven't you heard?
(Half price)
- What's wrong? - What?
Hey.
Don't buy this ever again.
It's really bad.
But you seemed to enjoy it in the commercial.
It's just an act.
I should really sort out all the commercials...
and become a model who's more conscious and responsible.
I accepted everything that was proposed...
so I could pay back my mom's debt.
- Wait. Give that to me. - What?
I'll put them away.
It's okay, I can do it.
No, I'll do it.
Hand them over.
What's wrong?
What?
You're acting like you're hiding something.
Han Kang Hee!
Whatever.
He's the one who begged me to stay here.
How could he kick me out for being a little messy?
What if I run into someone?
I'm Actress Han Kang Hee!
Wait, isn't this A Young's car?
(Han Kang Hee)
What's going on?
She should've told me if she was going to come.
What is this?
Gosh.
Why are her windows so tinted?
Does she think she's a celebrity?
I can't see anything because it's so dark.
Hey, lady.
Excuse me?
Don't put any ads on that car.
Hey. My gosh. Hey, lady.
You shouldn't lean on someone else's car like that.
Hey. Who are you?
I'm your actress.
What's with that hat?
(Heesong High School 35th Graduation)
Jung Seok, relax. She's like my sister.
I'm comfortable right now.
You don't look it.
Right.
So what are your intentions with Kang Hee?
Pardon?
If you brought her to your home,
I'm sure there was a reason.
I was the one who came to him and told him I had no place to go.
Why don't you have anywhere to go?
You could've come to my place or even Hoon's place.
You said your mother-in-law was at your place.
You said you didn't want to go home either.
Shut your mouth and have some fruit. Come on.
- Hurry up and eat. - How can I shut my mouth and eat?
My goodness.
- That hurts. - Ms. Yoon.
My daughter and I are staying at the hospital right now.
So this house is empty for the time being.
When things settle down,
I'll be sure to send Kang Hee home right away.
Okay, then...
By the way, do you own this house?
Why would you ask that?
Yes, I do.
I see.
What do you do now?
Oh, right. I work as a hired driver at night.
I have to take care of my daughter during the day.
A Young, remember the day I got into a fight with Director Kim?
Jung Seok drove me home.
Good for you.
So? What did you do before your daughter got sick?
I worked as an attorney.
An attendant?
I worked as an attorney.
A Young, Jung Seok went to Seoul National University.
He went to SNU Law School at the top of his class.
(The 49th Judicial Research and Training Institute Completion Ceremony)
Oh, no!
I need a tissue!
- May I give her a tissue? - Sure.
Why are you sitting like that?
- Aren't you uncomfortable? - No...
- Have some fruit too. - Okay.
Oh, right. I got this.
I didn't know what you'd like.
Thank you.
This is good. Where did you get it?
Be quiet.
If you're going to the hospital, come with me.
I'll drive you.
- Thank you. - No problem.
A Young.
Jung Seok is going to eat with me.
- Eat? - Dinner.
Goodbye.
- Drive safe! - Hey!
Hey, you punk! Hey!
Kang Hee?
You brat.
I don't want to eat alone.
Come inside.
A Young is usually a really fun person,
but she must've been nervous to meet you.
But she seems like a good person.
Really?
- It's really good. - Is it? It's not bland?
No.
This is my secret weapon today.
Why isn't Mr. Bang around as much these days?
Good question.
He's usually right by Yu Na's side. What's going on?
Gosh, he's a man...
I mean, human too. He needs to relax sometimes.
Oh, my. Does Mr. Bang have a girlfriend?
See? I told you it wasn't Han Kang Hee.
Han Kang Hee?
Remember when the news about her being a school bully broke?
Han Kang Hee came here.
But when she turned around to leave,
Mr. Bang ran after her.
It was crazy.
When the article about Han Kang Hee going into hiding came out,
Sol Yi's mom wondered if he took her to his house.
Gosh, you've seen too many dramas.
Why would someone like Han Kang Hee date someone like Jung Seok?
I know.
Think about it.
Why would Han Kang Hee date someone who has a kid?
- That... - Why not?
They looked good together last time.
Besides, I'm saying this because it's just us,
but if it weren't for Yu Na,
he'd be the ideal guy.
Right, but he has Yu Na.
- That won't do. - I know.
Are you two serious right now?
Why are you treating Yu Na like baggage?
- What do you mean? - What do you mean?
It's not the first time.
Si Hyun, Sol Yi. Are you guys back?
- Yes. - I see.
Guys, where's Yu Na?
Yu Na just left.
She just left.
- What? - Where?
Where did she go?
This looks so good.
Kang Hee, I'll take out the bones.
It's really good.
I'll give you some more.
This time, I'll give you a bigger piece.
Hey, doesn't it feel like we're newlyweds?
What?
I'm just kidding.
Why are you getting so serious?
It's nothing...
I was wondering what you meant by newlyweds.
I've never been a newlywed before.
I've never been one either.
Why not? You've been one in dramas.
I think I've seen you wear a wedding dress...
at least three times.
What? It's only been three times?
I thought it was four.
Gosh.
You've done something I've never gotten to do.
I've experienced all sorts of weddings while filming.
You can ask me if you have any questions in the future.
Forget it.
I'm going to have a traditional wedding and wear a hanbok.
A traditional wedding? I've never done that before.
Oh, really?
So you've never done that before?
Hold on.
Hey, Yoon Do.
Jung Seok. Something has happened.
Yu Na disappeared.
Yu Na!
- You haven't seen her? - I can't find her.
You didn't find her?
She's not over there either.
Where did she go?
Do you think she went outside?
Hold on.
Bang Yu Na!
Dad?
Who said you could come up here alone?
What's wrong, Dad?
Didn't you see the sign saying it was dangerous here at night?
Jung Seok, let's take her downstairs first.
Why did you come up by yourself?
I said, why did you come here?
Why are you only scolding me?
You were up here too!
You came up here without me before!
What?
I'm sorry.
It's my fault...
for asking you to have dinner with me.
Why am I such a mess lately?
You really don't listen, do you?
It's not your fault. It's mine.
The fan letter,
what happened today,
and...
what happened back then.
Soon Young's granddaughter was admitted to this hospital.
I think she came so her lawyer son could go to work.
She lived all her life supporting her son.
It must be hard for her to go like this. She's probably worried about her kids.
It's so upsetting.
Dad!
I'm so sorry.
And what?
Well...
After my mother's funeral last year,
I made a promise to myself.
To become a good dad to Yu Na.
I won't leave her side even for a moment.
To become a dad who is like Superman.
But...
I keep on forgetting about it these days.
You do?
Why?
Because I want to play around.
Play around?
Right?
I shouldn't act like this.
After meeting you again,
it felt like I went back in time.
That's why I asked you to visit our school together...
and to eat together.
I joked around while eating with you.
It was short,
but I think I wanted...
to hang out with you.
Enough to forget that I'm a dad.
Can I call this...
a change too?
Kang Hee.
I'm so sorry,
but I think we should stop seeing each other.
I think that's the right thing to do.
(Dad)
(Heesong High School)
(Congratulations on getting discharged!)
Here, put this on.
How beautiful.
- Dad, let me go say bye to my friends. - Okay.
(Dear Mom)
Hello?
Is this...
Ju Young?
Book an interview for me.
An interview?
What interview?
Everyone in Korea knows...
Kang Hee and I don't get along.
What if...
I side with her at a time like this?
I'm not sure.
Everything...
will turn around right away.
I see.
It might be hard to believe,
but I wasn't happy about people criticizing her.
To be frank,
A Young...
I should call you Ms. Yoon now.
Anyway, if Kang Hee plummets,
both you and I will run out of money.
You're competent, so you're fine.
But I'm too old.
No one will treat me like this anymore.
I'm only enjoying life now because I gave birth to a beautiful girl.
Ms. Yoon.
Mr. Choi.
Don't you see us talking?
Well, it's about Kang Hee.
Hello, I'm Actress Han Kang Hee.
First, I would like to apologize for not addressing...
the various issues surrounding me for the past few days sooner.
Ever since I was a child actor to now,
every time there were small and big issues about me,
I realized I never formally addressed them personally.
The Han Kang Hee you all know,
and the Han Kang Hee I know...
might be two different people.
So today,
I would like to share my story.
(Han Kang Hee)
Like you said,
if I opened the good box first,
this kind of situation would've never happened.
It would've hurt a little,
but I would've been okay.
Then you and Yu Na wouldn't have gotten hurt because of me.
It's all my fault.
I ruined everything.
Han Kang Hee.
Who cares if you ruin things?
Then something else would happen as a result of it.
Just like how we met again like this.
But we're going our separate ways again.
Didn't I tell you?
No matter what anyone says, just trust in yourself.
Then whether one person criticizes you...
or a thousand people criticize you, you'll be fine.
It's something only you can do.
Nobody can do it for you.
(Han Kang Hee)
By sharing her past,
Actress Han Kang Hee indirectly denied the accusations of bullying,
- thus contradicting... - What's going on? No way.
- actress Gu Hye Ri's claims... - What's the truth?
- that she was bullied. - Who knows.
- Who's telling the truth? - Celebrities are scary people.
When I first met Han Kang Hee...
Goodness, she gave off such strong vibes.
I had a bad feeling about her.
Didn't you brag about getting Han Kang Hee's autograph last time?
I didn't.
That's right. You took photos with her too.
Things have changed since then!
Hello.
I'm a classmate of actresses Han Kang Hee and Gu Hye Ri...
and a mom of a 12-year-old son.
I'm writing this email...
to reveal the truth behind the bullying accusations...
between Han Kang Hee and Gu Hye Ri.
(Send)
(Your email has been sent.)
It's Actress Gu Hye Ri, who claims that she was bullied by another actress.
Through a rather detailed testimony,
we've received a tip that she was actually the one who bullied...
her classmate, Han Kang Hee.
I would like to sincerely apologize for causing trouble with this incident.
Cut.
How annoying.
Darn it.
Hey. Why did you bring such a terrible outfit?
Do I have to apologize wearing something like this?
Just wait until things start settling down.
I'm going to sue everyone who left malicious comments about me.
Stop it!
Do you think I did something wrong too?
Why aren't you answering me?
Did I do something wrong?
(Gu Hye Ri's Claims About Being Bullied Turned Out to be False!)
Darn it!
(You jerk! I ought to...)
(Are you a reporter?)
You little...
What are you guys doing?
I caught you red-handed! How dare you vandalize my car?
What are you doing?
What do you want?
"What do I want?" You're vandalizing my car!
- You're a bad person! - What did I do?
Look at this! Oh, my!
- Hey! Let's get him! - What?
- Get him! - Go!
You little...
- Get him! - Get over here!
- Get him! - Get him!
- Stop it! - Get him!
Hey!
You jerk!
Director Choi's first project for Hollywood.
Didn't you say they didn't want me?
After he saw how you handled this incident,
he specifically said he wanted to work on this project with you.
(To Han Kang Hee)
I'll think about.
What's there to think about?
You have to do it.
This is a good thing.
You could get some therapy while you're in the States...
and come back in glory.
Is it...
because of that guy?
No.
I...
I didn't say anything because the bullying accusations were more urgent.
But you can't date Jung Seok.
- A Young. - I know.
I know times have changed.
But when it comes to my actress...
No, my little sister, it's different.
I want you to meet a normal guy...
who knows how to cherish your feelings and can focus solely on you.
But with Jung Seok, he has someone else...
he needs to focus on too.
Don't cry.
Is this Ju Young?
Is this Bang Jung Seok's cellphone?

(Letters to Paradise)
(Dear Mom)
(Letters to Paradise)
Dad.
Yes?
Don't you see Kang Hee these days?
No.
Why not?
Did you get dumped by her?
No.
I didn't get dumped.
Does she not like you because you come with baggage?
Yu Na.
Look at me.
I don't have...
any baggage.
And Kang Hee doesn't hate me either.
I even made a wish for you.
- What have you been doing? - A wish?
In "Starlight Couple," the main character makes a wish upon a star.
But it won't work just by making a wish.
You have to work for it.
Bang Yu Na!
Dad?
Oh, then...
were you on the rooftop to make a wish?
You don't know a woman's heart.
You're making me grow old.
Uncle.
Gosh.
My goodness.
- Hi, Hoon. - Hey, Jung Seok.
Well...
I thought I should let you know.
Kang Hee is leaving for the States to shoot a movie.
Hoon. I'll go on my own from here.
Okay. Then I'll wrap things up here and follow you.
- I'll call when I arrive. - Safe travels.
Excuse me.
(Los Angeles, Departed)
Kang Hee, do you want some water?
All right, everyone! Thirty seconds!
Thank you.
All right. Hi, and welcome back to the Camila Chloe Show.
We have Han Kang Hee,
star of new movie "Head On."
- Welcome. - Thank you for having me here.
I agree that being able to play a wide range of characters...
is important for any actor,
but it's not the only reason why I chose this film.
And also the transformation and growth of this...
passive female lead is just fascinating to me.
- Very well done. - Thank you.
Kang Hee.
When you get home, you'll have gifts from your fans in Korea.
What is all this?
Is there a toy store owner among my fans or something?
You, come here.
Let's sleep.
"Hello."
"I am a woman in her 60s, and I'm a big fan of yours."
"This is the first time I'm writing a fan letter to a celebrity..."
"in my life."
"I am always cheering for you, Kang Hee."
"So always be cheerful,"
"and be healthy as you keep going forward."
"Korean Wave Queen, Han Kang Hee. You can do it!"
He was so sincere that I couldn't say no.
I'm sorry, Kang Hee.
"Kang Hee, did you know?"
"Korea isn't surrounded by the sea on just three sides. It's actually four."
"The eastern sea, the western sea, the southern sea,"
"and I Love Kang Hee sea!"
Since when were you standing there?
Oh, this? It's not like that...
Look, this is...
It says so right here.
"Kang Hee."
"It's hard living abroad, isn't it?"
"When I was living abroad,"
"I felt consoled by watching you act."
"But I..."
"have to move somewhere far."
"I'm moving to a place called Han Kang Hee's Fantasy Land."
What does that even mean?
What else can we do? We'll just have to do it as usual.
But both of them are...
Just a second.
Yes, of course.
Hello?
A Young, are you busy right now?
It's fine, but make it quick.
I'm in trouble. A fan says he wants to sue me.
What?
For stealing my fans' hearts.
A Young?
(Kang Hee)
- Hey, Kang Hee. - Hoon.
Do you know what kind of oysters I like the most?
Oysters?
Do you want oysters? Should I bring some over?
It's the oyster where my pearly face came from.
They say my face is totally in season right now!
Hello?
Kang Hee.
Please don't call with stuff like this.
(Bang Jung Seok)
Kang Hee.
There are many more people around you who like and adore you.
Don't ignore the hearts of those who like you...
because of the hurt you got from those who don't.
Kang Hee.
Cheer up.
From a fan who is always curious about Han Kang Hee.
What was I afraid and scared of?
After I received your fan letter, I needed a lot of time...
to be able to write back to you like I am now.
It's from Kang Hee.
- "Han Kang Hee." - "Han Kang Hee."
- "Han Sol Yi, Lee Si Hyun." - Let me see that.
Give it here.
- But Mom... - I'll read it for you.
- "Hi, Sol Yi and Si Hyun." - "Hi, Sol Yi and Si Hyun."
- "It's Auntie Kang Hee." - "It's Auntie Kang Hee."
- It's really Han Kang Hee. - It's really her.
Today, we have a very special letter for Dong Gu TV.
It's...
from across the ocean in America.
It's a letter from actress Han Kang Hee.
I will read it with you guys.
Hi, Yeon Hee. It's me, Kang Hee.
It's been so long since I last wrote to you.

From being a young girl who dreamt of becoming an actress...
to reaching the place where I am now,
your love and support have been there for me...
for a long time.
It's from Kang Hee.
I will remember it forever and be thankful throughout my life.
Please send me another fan letter.
I will make sure to write back, even if it takes some time.
Please be healthy.
From Han Kang Hee.
(Han Kang Hee)
(6 months later)
It's time for News Invitation.
Today, we have a very special guest with us on News Invitation.
It's Actress Han Kang Hee, who has returned to Korea after a year.
Welcome. It's good to see you.
Hello, I'm Actress Han Kang Hee.
First of all, congratulations.
Director Choi's "Head On" received...
the Palme d'Or, the highest honor at Cannes Film Festival.
Yes.
As the lead actress, you must be very happy.
Yes, I am so happy.
I still remember that moment every now and then.
However, some say...
that you were a likely candidate for the Best Actress Award,
but you lost out on winning due to the film winning the Palme d'Or.
Many people are disappointed because of that.
How do you feel? Are you disappointed as well?
Yes, I am a bit disappointed.
I'm just kidding.
I'm not disappointed at all.
I believe that the Palme d'Or includes the hard work and effort...
of all the actors and production crew.
I met this film while I was going through some personal hardships,
so it means a lot more to me.
- You spent a long time filming in the US. - Yes.
But while you were filming there,
you sent your fans handwritten letters,
which was the talk of the town.
Right.
Was there a particular reason why you decided to do so?
Some of you may know,
but I used to have a hard time reading fan letters.
I am still overcoming it,
but while I was in the US,
a fan recorded a fan letter and sent it to me.
- What a great fan. - Yes.
For me, that person was a fan who showed me...
that some hearts are unwavering since a long time ago.
He was always curious to know if I was okay,
and he wanted to know the real me,
not the Han Kang Hee that others talked about.
I see, there was a backstory to this.
Yes.
As I listened to the numerous recorded fan letters,
I realized...
how my fans felt as they cheered me on...
over the years.
After I learned about how they felt,
I also wanted to send my sincere feelings to them too.
I see.
Hi.
Ms. Han?
(Han Kang Hee's manager)
Yu Na.
(Han Kang Hee's fan)
What?
No, it's not like that. It's probably just a weird angle.
I'm sure their lips weren't touching.
I don't think their lips were touching.
(Han Kang Hee In Love With Non-Celebrity, Photo of Intimate Moment)
Come on.
Can't two friends show this much affection?
It's like a bijou. It's a French...
greeting.
There is a saying...
that if lovers walk along the stone-wall road of Deoksugung,
they will break up.
- Really? - Yes.
Then we shouldn't walk here.
That's why we will be running.
Let's go.
When I was young, I once wrote a fan letter to you.
I wrote it and erased it over and over.
I filled it with the best words I knew...
and messages of encouragement, with all my heart.
- Hey, look at this. - Come and try some.
- Let's try it. - Do you want some?
- Hello. - Hello.
- The candy? Sir, we'll take one of these. - Yes.
One day, I saw an interview...
that you were being tormented by malicious comments.
I wanted to run to you right away and tell you.
"Why did you only read the malicious comments?"
"Didn't you read my fan letter?"
"There are way more fans cheering for you..."
"than people who hate you."
- This one. And... - Okay.
- there. - That's three.
You're not married yet,
but I see a beautiful daughter.
What should we eat?
- Should we get tripe? - Tripe? I'd like that.
- Wait. Chicken feet. - Let's have both.
- Can you really eat both? - Of course.
- Hello. We're such big fans. - Hello.
Oh, of course. What's your name?
- It's A Ram. - A Ram.
In 1, 2, 3.
- Could I ask you to take one of us too? - Sure.
In 1, 2, 3.
Really?
Did you want to run to me and tell me that right away?
Of course.
When I read that article where you said you stayed up all night...
reading the 1 malicious comment out of 99 good ones,
I wanted to tell you that, no matter what.
You are more precious than anyone...
and worthy of nothing but love.
I love you,
Han Kang Hee.
Hold on.
When you just said that you loved me,
did your eyes go to the right or the left?
My eyes?
When you said that you loved me,
did your eyes go to the left or the right?
Who would look elsewhere while saying I love you?
Darn it, I missed it.
Do it again. Start from the beginning.
Forget it.
What? Hey, come on.
Start over from this part.
The part where you said I was worthy of nothing but love.
