(All people, incidents, and backgrounds...)
(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)
(Also, children and animals were filmed under production guidelines.)
Give me a moment.
I think I know who it is.
Can you tell me?
It was...
Well...
It was...
Never mind. It could be a misunderstanding.
But we must investigate if you have any suspicion.
Please don't hesitate and feel free to tell me.
I doubt it, though. There are more than 1 or 2.
All right, sir. Then, you could...
give me a call later.
Sure.
Hey.
How do you feel? Are you okay?
Do I look okay?
The police said it seemed like they broke in just to scare us.
"Just to scare us?"
Yes, they didn't leave any traces...
like experts.
In my opinion, it had to be Baek Seol Ah.
She was getting back at us after I locked up...
her grandaunt and aunt.
Why would she take things this far over such a trivial matter?
Seol Ah doesn't have that much guts.
I have a feeling it may be Kwon Young Seok.
Kwon Young Seok?
Yes, Kwon Young Seok.
That crazy punk must've tried to kill us.
Honey, I'm scared.
What are we going to do? I'm scared.
Ju Ryun.
There was no need to be scared, both of you.
What do you mean?
Think about it. What went around came around.
You two started everything first.
That is not the way to talk to your mom and dad.
Anyway, are you hurt, Ju Ryun?
They didn't harass you, did they?
By any chance, did they do anything weird?
No.
If they had laid their hands on you,
I would've found and shot them to death.
Dad, you need to stop saying you'll shoot people.
Why do you continue to say that even after this incident?
Great work. That's all for today.
- Great work. - Great work.
Hello, Ms. Park, Mr. Na.
- Hello. - Hello.
Hey there, Mr. Kim.
Anyway, how's Mr. Jung?
Well, you'll find out anyway, so I'll just tell you.
Last night, Ms. Moon's place was robbed.
What? "Robbed?"
Hyun Woo.
So, the entire house became a mess,
and Chairman Min, CEO Moon, and Director Min were...
all found tied up.
Did anyone get hurt?
No, thankfully not.
Then, what about Woo Jin?
Did he also suffer?
No, he wasn't home last night.
Thanks to that, he didn't have to suffer.
Then, why wasn't he at the table read?
Well, he had to look after that family.
Chairman Min and Ms. Moon are...
Mr. Jung's future parents-in-law.
Right, he couldn't have focused...
even if he came today.
That could've gone much worse.
I hope those robbers get caught and punished.
Right?
You're right.
So, Ms. Park?
How does it feel to give as good as you get?
To be frank, I'm not so sure.
It feels weird, too.
You were such a good-natured person,
so you could feel that way.
But this is how the world works. What goes around will come around.
So, please don't let it burden you.
Ms. Lee.
I'll send you the expenses when I receive my pay.
I still haven't been paid yet.
It's okay. You can return the favor when I ask you for another one.
To be frank, it didn't have to be you, Ms. Park.
I had to handle...
Min Tae Chang and Moon Jeong In anyway.
Also, don't forget that my involvement is...
a secret between you and me.
You know that, right?
Yes, I remember that.
Gosh, it's so good.
Aunt Mi Sun. Uncle Il Joong.
- Hey, you're here. - Seol Ah is here.
Hello.
Seol Ah, have a seat and join us.
- What are you having? - Give her some.
- Here. - Pears and persimmons?
- Here's a wet tissue. - Here.
Thank you.
Grandaunt, do you feel better now?
Of course. I'm completely fine now.
I'm all well, too.
Look at me. No scars at all.
I'm so glad, Uncle Il Joong.
Anyway, Seol Ah.
I heard Jeongin's CEO, Moon Jeong In's place was robbed.
What? How did you know that, Ji Yeon?
The assistant director for "Poker Face" called me and told me.
The robbers destroyed their place,
tied up the entire family, and then ran away.
What? And?
Did anyone get hurt?
No one got hurt.
It seemed like they were just intimidated.
Did you know about this, Seol Ah?
Yes.
Gosh, those people were punished.
You're right. They had to suffer the same way to know.
Do you know how scary it is to be tied up?
One hour felt like ten.
What do you mean, ten hours?
It felt like over two days for me.
Why didn't the robbers steal everything from them, too?
It serves them right.
Tell me about it.
Let's stop talking about this and eat.
Seol Ah, have some fruit.
The persimmon tastes delicious.
Sure, Uncle Il Joong.
- Eat up. - Here.
It's sweet.
Are you asleep?
No, I was just resting.
I see.
How do you feel? Do you feel better?
Yes, I'm fine now.
It's a relief that you aren't badly hurt.
You're right.
And I have a feeling this isn't just robbery.
They didn't steal much, either.
Then, what could it be?
It was done intentionally.
Someone could've put them up for it.
"Intentionally?"
Who do you think is behind this?
I don't know.
Could it be Seol Ah?
No, it can't be her.
She's harsh with her words,
but she won't actually do something like this.
As far as I was concerned, she couldn't have done this.
You should get some rest, then.
And on a different note,
I have a question for you.
Ju Ryun, what do you think about Kim Seok Ki?
Seok Ki? Why do you suddenly ask about him?
Don't ask any questions and tell me.
Does he bother you?
It feels weird to have you ask something like that.
You don't think of him as a man, do you?
That's impossible.
I see.
What are you really trying to ask?
No, it's nothing. You should get some rest.
Hello?
Ms. Park, Ms. Moon would like to see you.
Ms. Moon?
What's the meaning of this?
I made myself clear and told you not to throw the scripts.
Was it you?
Did you send those thugs to my place?
Do you have evidence?
It was you. It had to be you.
I know what you're like.
You should nitpick over this with your home security company.
That the system you paid tens of thousands for didn't work.
Don't get mad at a powerless and helpless rookie writer like me.
A powerless and helpless rookie writer like you?
Are you kidding me?
Then, did you think you'd be fine after messing with my family?
Did you think I'd just sit around?
I knew it was you, Baek Seol Ah.
Yes, it was me. I did that.
You.
I paid you back the same way...
you barged into my place.
What's wrong? Did you find it unpleasant?
I found it quite unpleasant, too.
This is my warning.
If you mess with my family again,
I won't sit on my hands.
I'll pay you back the same way.
Fine, I look forward to it.
You're just a kid who doesn't know anything.
But still,
I'd be better off than an idiot who had nothing in her head.
Do you want me to go on?
On top of that, you're a murderer.
Anyway, you better pay my script fees on time...
before people hear of your unpaid payrolls and make you go down.
Have a great day, everyone.
Goodbye, Ms. Park.
- See you later. - See you.
Ms. Park, one second.
What is it?
Can we talk if you're here for your script fee?
I didn't come because I wanted to.
The CEO here wanted to meet.
At any rate,
can we go out and talk?
Sure.
You probably didn't know,
but any production company would pay the writer first.
Scripts are the foundation of all dramas.
We're in a tough situation, that's all.
So, give us a little more time...
I'm not a staff member of Jeongin. I'm a freelance writer.
Don't force me to share your difficulties.
Hey, Ms. Park.
We aren't saying we won't pay you.
Your business was the one that didn't pay me.
The least you can do is apologize and beg me for cooperation.
How dare you get annoyed with me?
You must be doing this...
because my dad locked up your aunt and grandaunt.
Don't you think you're too much?
"Too much?"
You people are too much.
Your dad wanted to take your engagement ring back,
so he kidnapped me, locked me up,
and even tried to burn me to death.
They also barged into my studio in the dead of night,
then broke into my uncle's place and attacked him, too.
That's not all.
When my aunt and grandaunt went to get their apology,
what did they do to them?
They locked them up all night in the basement laundry room...
and harassed them, didn't they?
I'm sorry. Let me apologize on their behalf.
"Apologize?"
That was why I called people.
Experts.
I wanted to do the same to your family.
Wait, it was you, Seol Ah?
Yes, it was me.
But I heard your mom and dad were left comfortably on their beds.
What I wanted was for your family to suffer...
exactly the same way as my aunt and grandaunt,
leaving your family locked up in that tiny laundry room.
Seol Ah...
So, remember.
I can always do the things your dad has done to me.
Just do it now, then.
You say you can do it, so why can't you do it?
It's not that I can't. I'm holding it off for a while.
I need to end my drama first.
Fine.
Seol Ah, do you think I'll just let you do this?
I honestly don't want to hate you, too.
But if you try to stop me and get in my way,
I won't forgive you either, Ju Ryun.
Even so, I will stop you...
from hurting my parents.
I can't just sit and watch you.
Do as you wish.
And go tell your mom...
that she won't get my scripts from now on.
What? She won't give me her scripts?
Ms. Moon, there were a few cases...
when companies were sued for not meeting the script fee payment date.
"Sued?"
Ms. Park's script fee is only about 50 percent of the field's average.
So, I don't think it's fair for her to go unpaid on time.
And Park Jin Kyung is refusing to give her script?
It seemed like she was done writing it.
If we hold out and continue to postpone the shooting,
we'll end up increasing our spending.
So, you should just pay her.
Ms. Moon.
All right. You may leave.
Yes, ma'am.
That persistent brat.
I'm so sick of her.
I'm so sick and tired of her.
- You're home. - Yes.
What about dinner?
I already ate. You may get back to your work.
Yes, sir.
What? Why are you calling me?
When did you get home, honey?
Hey, right. I just got here.
Who just called? You seemed quite flustered.
I wasn't flustered.
It was him, Won Jae Ho.
He keeps asking you and me out for dinner.
He says you still are quite charming and lovely.
What now?
My gosh. It's Senior Managing Director Kwak.
I'm out of the office already. Why does he keep calling me?
Hello?
I said we'd talk in the office.
Yes.
Hey, why do you dare to call me regardless of the time?
I called to confirm if you were getting my money ready.
But you must've been with your wife and felt uncomfortable.
Why are you doing this to me?
You keep using money as an excuse to call me.
Are you trying to work things out with me again?
Right? Shall we try to work it out again?
Lee Sun Ae! You!
Honey, "Lee Sun Ae?"
Was that Ms. Lee calling?
Wait, and you lied and said it was Won Jae Ho and Kwak?
The first call was from Won Jae Ho.
Only this call was from her.
Why did that woman call you?
Isn't it obvious? It was the money I borrowed.
Then, why are you reading my face and being suspicious?
If I had known it was that woman,
I wouldn't have met her or borrowed from her.
What do you mean? If you had known it was that woman?
Well, it's this thing. Go.
Anyway, don't you dare try to do anything weird.
Darn it. I shot myself in the foot.
Jeez.
I'm sure there is something more than money...
between him and Lee Sun Ae.
Hello, Cho. It's been a while.
I have something you need to do for me.
I can't believe no one here cleans up after themselves.
My gosh.
Hello.
Are you Assistant Director Na Seung Woo?
Yes, hello.
How may I help you?
I'm here on behalf of Chairman Min Tae Chang.
If you were free, he'd like to have a cup of tea.
What? With me?
So, your father had passed away?
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
When did he pass away?
I was very young back then, so I had no memories,
but I heard it was when I was three.
Then, your mother must've brought you up alone.
And don't you have an older brother? Director Na Hyun Woo.
Yes, Mr. Chairman.
Please excuse me. I need to take this.
Yes, sure. Feel free to pick it up.
Hello?
Na Seung Woo, where are you?
Why aren't you here yet?
Yes, I'll be there now.
I'm sorry. I must go back to work in a hurry.
Sure, you should go.
Yes, please excuse me.
He seemed to resemble me quite a lot.
Come inside, Mr. Nam.
Did you need me, sir?
It's about Na Seung Woo, the one who just left.
Come closer for a moment.
A film for a streaming platform?
Yes, he's one of the main cast.
But the problem was that it had a good amount of nudity.
How bad is it?
He must appear fully naked from behind.
It's based in the Japanese occupation era,
so he must put on traditional Japanese underwear,
so nudity is inevitable.
How much will they pay?
(Movie Proposal: "Forget-Me-Not")
Mr. Kim, are you sure this is the amount?
Yes, I'm sure.
But I'm not sure if the drama will allow him to be in both productions.
Why not? It's more than possible if we schedule everything right.
Let's do it.
Shouldn't you ask for Mr. Jung's opinion?
And we should speak to Mr. Na and Ms. Park...
about appearing in two productions at the same time.
We don't need to talk to them.
How will he work as an actor if he's scared of nudity?
If he must take his clothes off, then he will.
They're offering so much money.
Anyway, let's go ahead and jump into this project.
Yes, ma'am.
Hey. Hello.
Ms. Moon.
Yes, Ms. Jung. What is it?
This just arrived.
- Thank you. You may go. - Yes, ma'am.
(Lee Sun Ae and Na In Beom remarried,)
(and Na In Beom had two sons with his first wife.)
(Marriage Certificate: Lee Sun Ae July 15, 1990, Min Tae Chang)
What is this?
Then, the woman from that time was Lee Sun Ae?
Yes, I knew you two would be here.
What are you doing here?
Here.
Take it while you can.
- Hello? - It's Cho calling.
I called in to check if you received the report.
Yes, I received it.
My husband, Min Tae Chang,
was once married to Lee Sun Ae?
That's right.
The two divorced after many years of marriage.
They had a son, too.
"A son?"
Then, can you find out where their son is...
and what he's doing now?
Of course. I'll report back very soon.
Call me back.
You two were once married?
(Chairman Min Tae Chang)
What is this?
What the heck are you up to this time?
Look at that before you speak.
Wait. Honey.
Did you think I wouldn't find out about you and Lee Sun Ae?
Since when did it begin?
Since when did you two get back together?
Honey.
So? You became broke...
and had trouble with your business,
so you couldn't pass up on your ex-wife,
who returned with loads of money?
I had no idea and buttered Lee Sun Ae...
and treated her with the utmost respect!
I think there's a misunderstanding.
What misunderstanding?
I saw Lee Sun Ae calling you time and time again...
by using the money she lent you as an excuse.
Yet I felt bad for you,
thinking you were pestered because of money.
And what now?
You had some fun with your ex-wife behind my back?
What fun?
No way. That never happened.
It must've been great for you.
A rich widow. She must've sounded perfect...
to be your new girlfriend.
You don't even know what's going on.
I don't care about her. I'm doing this because of my son.
- Your son? - Yes, my son.
A woman becomes a stranger the moment she's out of my life,
but I can't do that with my kid. He's my blood!
I finally found out I had a son,
so I needed to be a father to him!
Your son? Who?
Na Hyun Woo? Or Na Seung Woo?
Jong Hyuk died after our divorce,
but Lee Sun Ae said she was pregnant again.
I have a feeling Na Seung Woo is...
Stop talking nonsense.
Ju Ryun is your only child.
Yes, I tried to forget about it, too.
So, I kept telling myself no, that I needed to forget about him,
that he wasn't my blood.
But what can I do?
I'm his father, and he's still my son!
Your son? At this point in time?
I'm warning you.
The moment you bring anyone home and claim him as your son,
Ju Ryun and I will disown you forever.
You'll be a stranger to us, so remember that!
What's with you?
Let me tell you once again...
that Ju Ryun is our only child. Do you understand?
Hey. Hey, Kyung Sook!
Kyung Sook!
So? How's Ms. Moon's place?
I heard she was robbed.
Yes, the house became a mess,
but thankfully, no one got hurt.
It did seem like Ju Ryun was quite startled.
Is that so?
What about Chairman Min?
Both Chairman Min and CEO Moon aren't just ordinary people.
They were still the same even after what happened.
I see.
What are you doing, Hyun Woo? What about the storyboard?
Do you have time to sit here and hang out?
Are you nagging at your director?
Gosh, I'm not nagging. No, Director Na.
Anyway, Hyun Woo.
Don't you think people at Jeongin Entertainment are weird?
That family really is strange.
Why? Did something happen to you?
Well, Mom. Something like this happened at work today.
Hyun Woo! What?
He's not here.
Gosh, he wanted to see me here so quickly.
Did he go to the restroom?
Mr. Na?
What is it now? I have to get back to work.
This is from the chairman.
What is this?
- A bonus? - Please.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry. Please excuse me.
Hey, wait...
Gosh, he must be out of his mind.
That hurt.
What? It's empty.
What the heck is wrong with them?
Wait, why did he pull out my precious son's hair?
I have no idea.
It still hurts.
So, it was that man, Secretary Nam?
Yes, the secretary to Chairman Min of Mind Trading Company.
What? Chairman Min Tae Chang's secretary?
Yes, Mom.
Wait, I have to take this.
It's me, Ji Yeon.
"Ji Yeon?" Hey, who's Ji Yeon?
Who is it?
Min Tae Chang, he pulled Seung Woo's hair out?
(Snow White's Revenge)
I have the result of the DNA parentage test.
Is he Min Tae Chang's son?
Is Na Seung Woo his son?
Director Na, is Ms. Park not here today?
I guess so.
Stash them into a drum and fill it up with cement!
Then, we can just throw it into a reservoir or the sea.
Her phone is turned off.
What's going on?
Should we report this to the police?
