Han Byeol, I'm sorry. Can you come to Tae Sung's now?
Ms. Oh. It's been a while.
How are you?
Ma'am?
- Tiffany. - What?
Oh, sorry. It's so pretty. See you around.
He's dating someone from his agency?
Are you okay?
No.
(Gong Tae Sung)
(Episode 10. Scaling Mountains)
You promised not to do this.
If you act out like this, I can't help you anymore.
And if you treat the helper like that...
I should've gotten her.
What?
Tae Sung's helper.
That woman isn't just an ordinary helper.
What do you mean?
I saw her a few days ago on the department's designer floor.
She was out of her mind.
Weren't you mistaken?
No. I'm sure I wasn't.
Because they sold me the only watch they had in stock,
she kicked the manager in the shin.
I lost the watch to her.
I couldn't believe what happened, so I stared at her for a long time.
Didn't you notice anything odd?
Hi, Tae Sung.
Dementia? Who?
The helper.
I'm not sure.
But the soup's extremely salty, and it's worrying me.
I think we should get her tested.
Okay. I'll find a reputable hospital.
(Resume: Kwon Myung Hee)
Sorry for calling so late.
What's up?
The helper you got for Tae Sung.
Shim Jin Woo's mother recommended her, right?
Why are you asking me that right now?
I need an answer. It's urgent.
Let's see...
Yes, that's right.
Rich Gangnam housewives want to hire her but can't.
Does Jin Woo's mother know her personally?
I don't know. I barely remember what happened yesterday.
- Shall I ask her for you? - Yes, please.
Okay.
(Resume: Kwon Myung Hee)
I can't stand...
that woman coming to my place.
She grabbed Ms. Kwon by the hair.
It's okay.
You're like...
my grandma.
Your grandma?
Whenever I was going through a rough time,
she patted me on the back like this, and it made me feel better.
So, do you feel better now?
Yes. Totally.
Don't expect filial duties from me.
I won't.
Kiss me back.
("Lawyer Do Soo Hyuk, Will Pursue and Punish Criminal Rumors")
At last, Cho Ki Ppeum has brought me...
pure happiness as her name suggests.
Ki Ppeum's article...
got enough views to last us the day.
You might as well all go home.
(On Star Daily)
Can he just laugh and go home like that?
He rarely goes home.
He's probably on his way to lounge around.
A bonus sounds better than getting off work early.
Ms. Cho.
Tell me.
How was Do Soo Hyuk?
Is he handsome even in real life?
Yes. He's handsome.
And he's cool and very sure of himself.
Can we wrap up by 5:55pm?
I'll be done by 5:53pm.
I like that.
Then...
can you make your interview with me an exclusive?
Sure.
Well, this was going to be my only interview, anyway.
I don't like wasting time like this during my work hours.
That brings me to this question.
Can you turn the tide around with the public sentiment with this?
I think I would need more than just an official statement to do so.
Turning the tide...
is my specialty.
(Mother)
You see, my parents...
are greatly curious about my so-called boyfriend.
They are taking turns calling me.
Good work.
You really finished right on time.
I got all the key points from you.
I like getting off work on time too.
It's just that I can't.
I'll write up a beautiful article and release it.
You don't have to worry about it.
Okay.
Can I get a photo for the article?
If that's too much, I can run the story without it.
Well, people already found my yearbook photo.
But...
I don't like that photo.
Do you think you can take a photo now?
By the way, I'm good with any angle you throw at me.
How did you get him to take a photo?
He didn't like his photo online.
Be honest. He really isn't Gong Tae Sung's boyfriend?
He said no. Never.
Come on. But everything checks out.
If you keep spreading rumors like that,
he'll destroy you.
He's the type to follow through on what he says.
Is he the executioner or what?
("Lawyer Do Soo Hyuk, Will Pursue and Punish Criminal Rumors")
This is enough to turn the tide with the public, right?
(Lawyer Do Soo Hyuk)
I believe so. Good work.
How sharp.
If you need to file any lawsuit, I'll give you a huge discount.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Good morning.
Did you read the article?
- Yes. - Everyone likes the article.
That reporter is very good at her job.
She is.
After reading the articles, a lot of my friends...
are asking me to set them up with you.
Should I pretend I never told you that?
Yes. Let's do that.
Okay.
Exactly how big is this discount?
I'm a reporter, so fact-checking is a part of my daily routine.
She's consistent.
(I'm a reporter, so fact-checking is a part of my daily routine.)
Tae Sung.
Taking the stairs is risky.
Do you want another tabloid?
The battle isn't over yet.
The moment I get on the elevator, I'll lose.
I don't think that's such a bad thing.
I never lose.
I don't think this is worth that.
Every battle is worth it.
Gosh.
There's my boyfriend.
Honey.
Are you taking up the stairs? Isn't it tough?
Why don't you take the elevator? Make things easier on you.
No.
I should be enjoying...
a secret rendezvous in the staircase...
audaciously.
I'm so happy to see you.
So...
you two would've been happy without me.
I was too dense.
I'll give you some privacy and take the elevator instead.
Tae Sung.
I'll wait for you in the parking lot.
Take your time.
You can do it.
He left us alone because he wanted to take the elevator, right?
Yes.
I think so.
He's smarter than he looks.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Well...
Yes?
Are you happy with Ms. Oh?
Yes.
What a cruel way to reject the man of your love scandal.
You hurt my feelings.
So...
I'm going to take the elevator from now on.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
It's on me today. Eat a lot.
Especially you, Ms. Oh.
Your article helped us too.
Everyone was talking about your article today.
Hey, it almost blew up our server.
My chief complimented my work which has been ages.
By the way, did you know Mr. Do got a fan forum overnight?
Even my colleague, Ms. Jung, signed up.
She told me her fangirl spirit was awakened or something.
Gosh. No way.
He's a semi-celebrity now.
- What if he signs with our agency? - Guess the name of the forum.
It's so original. Try to guess it.
Do-Crow!
They will be scarecrows to protect Mr. Do!
Wrong! But it wasn't a bad answer.
I want to get this right. This is my expertise.
Do-Variant.
Mr. Do spreads fast like a variant of a virus!
You do have an original mind, but it's wrong.
Dong Tan Boys. DTS!
Hey. You took it too far.
I was just guessing.
Sorry.
Who are you apologizing to?
You don't have to know.
Then what is it?
The answer is...
Manual Therapy.
Seeing Mr. Do heals them.
Gosh.
We should be called the race of naming people.
My colleague would do anything to get the manual therapy.
All of a sudden,
a non-celebrity who has a fan club came to my mind.
You're talking about Yusungwoo, right?
Kang Yu Sang's fan club.
Kang Yu Sung is all you're thinking about.
It's killing me too.
Here.
Ho Young.
You don't have a new Band-Aid?
That looks very old.
Should I get you a new one?
I have a new one. I'll give you mine.
No!
Yu Sung...
put this Band-Aid on me.
Right!
How was your meal with Mr. Do?
That's ancient history.
I already turned him down.
When?
Gosh. That's too bad.
You won't be getting the "manual therapy" then.
Ho Young.
Don't just pay attention to your Yu Sungs.
Pay attention to me too.
- Okay. - Right. Give her some attention.
- Read the room. - Stop it.
It doesn't look pretty at all today.
I got rejected by a woman...
and got into a love scandal with my next-door neighbor.
Maybe, this house has bad energy.
Hey, Mom. You read the interview, right?
Right. I told you it wasn't true.
Even if I were to date men, it wouldn't be him.
He's so not my type.
Mom. You can't even take a joke. Come on.
Gosh. Why should I move? That's a hassle.
It's fine.
(Who really is Eun Si Woo, the legendary actress?)
(Do you remember the actress who was spotted at a department store?)
("Night of the Sky")
A lot...
A lot of things have happened.
I want to remember everything.
Even this moment.
He's not feeling well. Is he?
Yes. He was sick all night.
So I was going to cancel,
but he didn't want to be an inconvenience.
Thank you.
Thank you for your hard work.
Goodness. Thank you for your hard work.
Is his shoot going okay?
- Dae Soo, did you look into it? - Into what?
Jin Woo's mom. The housekeeper.
Oh, right.
- It might take some time. - Why?
She went on a trip abroad with her friends.
Think about it. She's not my mom. She's someone else's mom.
I can't just call her up...
while she's abroad just to ask her about that.
Why? What's wrong? Is it serious?
No, never mind.
Tell me. I'm getting curious.
Why are you being so secretive today?
What's up with you?
Yu Na and Jae Hyun...
Why are they fighting again?
- No. - Are they cursing each other out?
No. They won't even look at each other.
- What? - What?
They haven't said a word to each other today.
So did they change their plan to just ignoring each other?
I was wondering why it was so quiet today.
The aftereffects of grabbing each other by the hair were big.
They're doing all sorts of things now. Aren't they? Darn it.
You're so annoying. Why are you so pretty?
I almost yelled again.
Your handsomeness is more irritating.
I almost yelled.
National Fairy. Did you see tomorrow's script?
We have another kiss scene.
Kiss scenes are so hard for the National Fairy.
I need to practice.
Then do you want to practice today?
(Then do you want to practice today?)
Okay!
(Then do you want to practice today?)
(Okay!)
Mr. Kang!
Hello. I'm feeling a bit sick...
I must've been really shocked that day.
I'll come back after a week off.
Okay, ma'am. I'm sorry about that.
Tae Sung is really worried too.
He called me.
I didn't even get hurt, but he sent me money for treatments.
Gosh, I feel like I've worried him for no reason.
By the way,
I guess there's someone who resembles me a lot.
Oh, I think she was mistaken.
Don't worry about it and take care of yourself.
How do you know her?
Gosh, I overstepped.
Goodbye.
Right. Get plenty of rest. Goodbye.
I guess I didn't get caught yet.
Hey.
Hey!
Does this look special to you?
I'm sorry. I'll redo it.
Let me see.
(Tae Sung Gets Worse, Tae Sung's Anti-fan Cafe)
("Shocking! Gong Tae Sung Seen Embracing Late at Night")
(Are we finally getting rid of him?)
(Gosh, this guy is really terrible.)
(I know...)
(I know who that is.)
Tiffany.
- Ms. Oh. - Hey, Ms. Kim.
You're always wearing that necklace these days.
It must be special.
A little.
Ms. Kim.
Do you know where that's from?
It's from Tiffany?
No way. Isn't that really expensive?
I heard wealthy people hid logos.
Did you win the Lotto?
Ms. Oh.
Hey. Are you going somewhere?
No, I'm coming back.
I was at Jae Hyun's shoot.
You must've been busy this morning.
You look really worried too.
You must have a lot of worries.
Yes, a little.
How's Tae Sung?
Why are you asking me?
Who should I ask then?
What are you doing? You're embarrassing me.
Best of luck to your relationship.
What does that even mean?
Don't taint Tae Sung.
I don't want to.
I'm going to taint your person as much as I want.
What terrible acting? I know you've never dated before.
You're no different.
My gosh, you're such a sinful guy.
What?
If you don't know, forget it.
To be honest, there's something that's been bothering me.
About that housekeeper...
Yes.
Hi, everyone.
Have some ice cream.
My fans sent them over.
You have fans already?
Not bad, Chang Gyu.
What would you like?
There's vanilla and mint chocolate chip.
- He doesn't like mint chocolate... - Mint chocolate chip.
Thanks. What a treat.
Sure. Enjoy.
Enjoy the ice cream.
Thank you.
Let's see...
(Gong)
Trying mint chocolate chip!
How is it? Not bad, right?
(How is it? Not bad, right?)
It tastes like cold toothpaste.
That's so cute.
(It tastes like cold toothpaste.)
My gosh.
It's 12 noon!
At last.
Say we should go for lunch.
Ms. Oh, where shall we go for lunch?
Oh, then...
shall we have something spicy to dump some stress?
Spicy food is a great stress buster.
I'm in too.
Kimchi stew, spicy braised seafood,
- braised chicken? - That sounds good.
Let's have tteokbokki?
What's the really spicy one?
Trying dipping instead of drenching.
It'll be hard, but that's okay.
Tangsuyuk?
What? Tangsuyuk?
You know,
the spicy Sichuan tangsuyuk.
My treat.
Okay, then. Let's go!
Shall we go?
- Thank you. - It looks so good.
Let's eat.
It looks gross.
Jung Yeol.
You are so...
extreme.
(PR and Management)
Trying pineapple pizza.
Jung Yeol asked for way too much pineapple.
(Jung Yeol asked for way too much pineapple.)
That's not a pizza.
It looks like pineapple on a dough plate.
Let's leave on time today.
- Okay! - I'd love that.
Oh, dear...
Let's go.
Ms. Oh.
I think this is it.
This is it.
Is it?
- Unit 107, right? - Yes, 107.
- Hello. - Hello.
Who are you?
Isn't this...
Ms. Kwon Myung Hee's residence?
What?
Honey.

Oh, her?
Do you know her?
Yes. She lived here before we did.
Did you move recently?
Yes.

Okay, good.

Shall I...
have some fun, then?
I'm anti mint chocolate chip. Mint chocolate chip is...
It's toothpaste.
Drench.

Dislike.
Why would you put pineapple on pizza?
It's a fruit.

Hello?
Yes, I called you.

Yes. Can I see your surveillance footage?
I'll see you in the afternoon, then.
When did you get married?
I saved money on a gift, then.
Let it go.
Oh, right.
Jin Woo's mom's back, and I asked her...
- about the helper. - Yes.
Jin Woo's mom...
doesn't know the helper in person.
What did she say?
One of her golfing buddies recommended the woman.
She'd hired the helper for a long time.
That woman...
owns almost all the property in Gangnam.
She's from the country but her property made her crazy rich.
You don't know...
the golfing buddy's name, do you?
Wait, she gave me the name.
Myung Hee?
Yes, that's it. It's Myung Hee.
Sorry. I have to go.

- Pay first. - I'll pay you back.
Darn you.

to say goodbye.

I will apologize instead.
It's fine. I was going to quit anyway.
I'm sick of working.
Pardon?
Can I give you a hug?
Since this is goodbye?

Mr. Kang. It's nice to see you! I thought I wouldn't get to see you.
What the heck is this?
"What the heck is this?"
Why did you do this?
Me? All I did was work hard at my job.
You know, people call work sacred.
You wrote false information on your resume.
Gosh. No, I didn't. That really is my house.
The whole building is mine.
Why are you glaring at me like that?
People might think I committed a crime or something.
Is it against the law...
for rich people to work as a housekeeper?
You should be grateful that I didn't sue Eun Si Woo.
How dare she pull my hair?
Mr. Kang. It's been fun.
A lot of things must amuse you.
But my nickname is the Polite Nutcase.

I will not stand there and watch.
Sure.
Let's go.

No.
I just don't understand this.

Well,
the limited edition watch you sent to Gong Tae Sung...
Does he love it?
I'm booked out this week.
The guys want to buy me a meal when I said they didn't have to.
He doesn't want it.
Again?
Does he even know...
how much it costs?
I'm told that he never accepts gifts...
from his fans.
Never?
How dare he say no to my kindness?
He doesn't want a special present from me?
He said no?
How dare he?
Hello. My name is Kwon Myung Hee. I'll be working here starting today.
I'm sure you're going through a lot.
I know how that feels. I've lost someone dear to me too.
But we all need some sunlight in our lives.
You should have accepted my presents when I sent them to you.
You'll remember me when you eat salty food from now on.
What do you think?
I'm special now, aren't I?
(Special Present)
(Here's my special present.)
(What a special picture. Thank you.)
(Do you live next door to him? Isn't that his house in the photo?)
- You're here. - Hey, Han Byeol.
That woman, Kwon Myung Hee,
sent the same necklace to everyone on my team.
The same necklace.
And she sent me the same necklace too.
This is so weird. This isn't normal.
Anything else? Are you all right?
I'm okay.
- Was she here? - Yes. She was already here.
She wanted to be special to Tae Sung,
so she fed him salty food on purpose.
What?
Tae Sung even looked for a hospital in case she had dementia.
- Oh, no. - Stay with Tae Sung for now.
I need to do more digging.
I'll text you the new passcode.
- Mr. Do. - Hey.
- Please take a seat. - Okay.
Yes. I checked the security footage.
The woman who put on the wristwatch...
is Mr. Gong's housekeeper, right?
Yes. That's correct.
I looked over her resume as well.
But I can't say she put down false information.
We can't forcefully take her cell phone either.
Right. I think she already checked the legal side before she started.
She actually told me she didn't do anything illegal.
Gosh. How meticulous.
This might not be a good solution.
But we can file for a restraining order.
Okay. Please proceed then.
Okay.
Gosh. Being a celebrity isn't easy.
Finding out people closest to you aren't who you thought they were...
is the most traumatic incident.
I checked on my way here.
She's famous for befriending celebrities...
by giving them expensive presents.
A few years ago, a fan sent Tae Sung a really expensive present.
I think that was her.
I never thought she would apply to work as his housekeeper.
It's my fault.
Not at all.
Anyone in their right mind wouldn't do something like that.
Don't beat yourself up for it.
Yu Sung.
You're here.
How does it feel to go to your first awards ceremony?
I don't know.
It's my first time in a tuxedo,
so it's uncomfortable and suffocating.
You have to get used to it.
You'll be going to more awards ceremonies in the future.
- Are you done? - Yes. I'm coming out now.
Does it look okay?
- Don't I look awkward? - Not at all.
You look really handsome!
You'll be the handsomest guy there tonight.
You had something in your hair.
Oh, really?
That's strange. I washed my hair today.
Maybe I wasn't thorough.
In any case, don't be nervous and do a good job today. Okay?
Okay.
Gosh, you're so handsome. Amazing.
Yu Sung.
Hey, Ho Young.
What are you doing here at this hour?
Yu Sung's awards ceremony just ended.
I have some stuff to do.
He just debuted, but he already got an award. That's admirable.
No.
It's just a small award.
Were you drinking here alone?
Oh, right.
I was craving this today.
Yu Sung.
Do you want to grab a drink with me?
It'll be my treat today.
Here.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
It's been a while since the two of us drank together.
Yes, it has.
We've both been too busy these days. Right?
That's true.
You've always been really busy.
You're right.
I've always been busy.
Did something happen?
It's nothing.
I just have a lot on my mind.
It's a time of unrest...
and self-reflection.
I'm wondering if I have any right to be a manager.
I'm just asking myself that.
If you say that, it'll make me sad.
If the person I respect says that,
it is really upsetting.
Thanks, Ho Young.
It's really comforting.
I'm not trying to comfort you.
I'm just telling the truth.
Gosh, Park Ho Young.
You grew up so much.
Gosh, you...
In the future,
please don't pat me on the head.
I'm sorry, Ho Young.
I didn't realize you didn't like it.
I really had no idea.
I get butterflies.
What?
I like you, Yu Sung.
Goodbye!
Here you go. Goodbye.
It's been ages!
Gosh, it's been ages.
You haven't changed.
You aged.
You're a vampire.
It's been years. How do you still look like that?
Oh, my.
You even know how to flatter people.
You grew up so much, Mr. Choi Ji Hoon.
You used to be such a kid.
Don't you remember crying and saying you wanted to quit acting...
to go see your son, Ms. Kim Bok Soon?
I keep hearing my real name these days.
It surprises me every time.
Can you just call me Eun Si Woo?
Do you remember that I'm the one who gave you that name?
Yes, you can take credit for it until the day you die.
Are you ready to order?
- I'll just order for us. - Okay.
Are you still unable to eat spicy food?
We'll go with set seven.
Instead of bringing the food in one at a time,
can you bring it to us all at once?
Okay. I'll do that.
My gosh. You're still as impatient as ever.
You have a hard time eating when people walk in and out.
Gosh, you remember that?
I guess I do.
If you wanted to come back to see your son, you should've called me.
Why did you have to bother Yu Sung? He's already so busy.
Because Yu Sung is handsomer than you.
Then you should've listened to Yu Sung.
Why did you have to go see him? We can't even fix this.
Because I missed him.
Then you should've been nicer.
Why are you dead set on hurting him?
I know.
You know me.
I always say things I don't mean.
It's not easy.
I can't seem to fix it.
Si Woo.
Yes?
I'm telling you this as your first manager.
Tae Sung...
will need a lot of time to accept you.
He might...
never come around.
So don't be so impatient.
What will you do...
if someone takes a photo?
Then...
I really won't let it go.
Gosh, you're so scary.
I'm so sad because I don't have a manager.
You're making a living off of my son.
You talk too much.
You're right.
Thank you for having such a handsome son.
Do you know...
how shocked I was when you told me Tae Sung was your son?
You don't think I was shocked...
when you told me he works with you?
I'm grateful to you too...
for taking care of Tae Sung.
Tae Sung grew up well on his own.
Do you...
know who Oh Han Byeol is?
Yes, Ms. Oh.
She's the head of PR at our company. How do you know her?
I see.
Oh Han Byeol!
You're up?
It's really you.
I'm glad...
you were here...
when I woke up.
I dreamed of Yoon Woo.
He never appears in my dreams.
I must've missed him a lot.

Why did you really come back?
I'm worried that bad things keep happening around Tae Sung.
Is something wrong?
Someone sent me this.
Do you have a Starforce ID card too?
I said I'd make you pay if you took photos.
Isn't it a really bad situation?
It's time to quit the act.
I wonder if I'm mistaken.
That's what you are to Gong Tae Sung.
You'll break up soon anyway. Just enjoy the present.
