Honey.
(VK Media Culture Valley Blueprint)
Hi. I'm Seo Hee Jae.
I'm Jacklyn.
Are you really going to start a YouTube channel?
I will upload a video,
and if it gets a good response, I will continue.
If not, I'll just quit.
A stylish rich lady. Not a bad theme, right?
Really.
(VK Media Culture Valley Blueprint)
That just now was a concerning scene.
Jacklyn, don't get the wrong idea.
I'm not so low as to do something weird with my friend's ex-husband.
"My friend's ex-husband?"
That's right. I'm a friend of Ju Kyung.
You're a friend of the late Shin Ju Kyung?
What a shocker.
You're wearing only one of your earrings?
Oh, I lost the other side.
But I can't seem to remember where I lost it.
I found it.
In his car.
My car?
My gosh.
Thank you.
I must've dropped it in your car that day.
See you again, Jacklyn.
Why did that woman...
drop her earrings in my car to cause a misunderstanding?
Put a distance from her. She seems dangerous.
Looking a lot like your dead wife...
gives me the creeps.
I never kept her close to me.
Don't make me witness you two alone again.
This is a warning.
Isn't it rude to use such a word between a married couple?
That tone of voice and look as if you can't trust me.
Don't do that again.
You better not ignore my warning, Jacklyn.
Hye Rim. Stop breathing.
I'm not breathing.
My gosh.
This is bad!
Girl, I told you not to breathe!
Jeez.
Seriously.
Jacklyn! Why are you back so early?
I left a document behind.
Isn't that my dress?
Are you crazy?
Why are you wearing my clothes?
Are you nuts?
Is your head straight?
She must be cussing in English, which I can't understand.
Maybe it's a relief?
Oh, my gosh.
BJ Hyunta shows off an unpredictable charm,
which is a perfect match with Miyu's new product.
I gathered statistics on the reviews of Miyu's products until now.
As you can tell from the graph,
the main customers were in their 20s and not in their 30s.
You even researched into that?
Hyunta is good at live shows.
I can say with confidence that...
she will bring in more sales than Oh Na Hee...
once you launch a home shopping.
Hi.
I'm here to hand out profiles of NA Entertainment.
(Hwang Sung Il)
Over there.
Hi.
You're Mr. Choi Dae Il, actor Kang In Sun's manager, yes?
Yes.
I'm Director Seo Hee Jae of NA Entertainment.
Can you invite me to the managers' group chat?
Let's share information.
(Gas Gift Card)
Please, okay?
(Managers' Information Sharing Chat Room)
(General Manager Choi Dae Il: Hi!)
Nice to meet you. I'm Seo Hee Jae of NA Entertainment.
Thank you for adding me.
(Director Seo Jun Kyo: Nice to meet you!)
(Masil Entertainment Lee Woo Bin: We're in your care.)
(Manager Im Jong Ha: Welcome!)
What? Barely anyone texts me at this hour.
Hee Jae! I got invited to the managers' group chat!
That's great.
I heard managers share information and support each other.
- "Support each other?" - Yes.
They help and inform each other of roles that suit a particular actor.
I see.
Hold on. Who said you could get a business card as a director?
The company had no director,
although it had a general and a senior manager.
So I went with what was left.
You can be the director next year.
- We can take turns. - What?
Jeez.
(No. 1 Broadcast, KBZ)
Seriously.
Yoon Ji Tae. How are you feeling?
It was you, wasn't it?
The one who told the chairman...
he drank and played cards at the hospital.
It would've been better if you had played fair from the start.
Yoon Ji Tae.
Shin Ju Kyung is my friend.
She told me a secret of yours.
You do look like her.
People said a woman resembling Director Shin was running wild...
in NA Entertainment.
So it was you?
Forcing your ex-girlfriend to get an abortion.
You promised to act while repenting your whole life.
That was why Ju Kyung accepted you back.
I also know...
the number of the girl you forced to get an abortion.
If you act so proud now that you've become quite famous,
didn't Ju Kyung tell you you won't last long in this field?
What the...
- What did she say? - Nothing.
Hey, kiddo. Are you nervous?
Not at all.
Did you think it was unfair to get fired when you did nothing wrong?
If you think it was so unfair, get back at them with your acting.
And to become a great actor, you must bear it.
What's harder than acting is to wait and bear.
Get it, kiddo?
Good luck.
You were pretty good today.
Your voice was stable.
Well done.
You too, Hee Jae.
What's gotten into you? No more Ms. Seo?
If that's what you want, I'll call you Ms. Seo.
You turn out to be a detective in this work.
There will be a handcuffing scene later.
How did you know?
I called the writer.
Speaking of which,
Here.
It's a toy, but practice with it. Okay?
Sure.
Excuse me.
Yes, Ms. Bong.
Ms. Seo.
We just had a meeting on the commercial model.
Hyunta became the new model for Miyu Cosmetics.
Oh, my. Really?
Oh, thank you.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
Yes!
But Oh Na Hee of WJ Entertainment is the model for Miyu Cosmetics.
Hyunta pushed her out and became their model?
I appealed to them like crazy...
since their contract with Oh Na Hee was near the end.
How did you know their contract was near the end?
WJ Entertainment must be shocked.
Gosh. Oh Na Hee...
She thinks she's renewing the contract tomorrow at Miyu.
What now?
Is NA Entertainment on the seventh floor?
I can't believe that small company pushed us off.
This is embarrassing.
Is this how you get your job done?
Na Hee. Calm down. Take a deep breath.
How can I calm down?
How can you lose my cosmetics model position...
to NA Entertainment of all companies?
Did she really get it?
She's becoming a model? Amazing.
Hyunta! Oh, my goodness!
You're choking me.
What's going on? You never greeted me so much like this before.
You became the model for Miyu Cosmetics.
Me? As a cosmetics model?
I don't plan to do that.
No? Why not?
What's the good in it?
I have to force myself to smile and look pretty in front of a camera.
They'll pay you a lot.
I still make 200,000 dollars a year.
You think I'm not making ten million because I can't?
It's because I don't want to fake a smile or tears...
in front of a camera.
I'm not doing it.
I would if I were you.
Imagine it's a graduation photo.
A graduation photo?
You get to remember that moment.
You can always look back to it later.
To your good old days.
He's right.
Do you want me to be a cosmetics model?
Yes.
(WJ Entertainment)
You don't even say hi now?
Didn't you say I get on your nerves?
I'm trying to avoid that.
The door's opening.
(Oh Na Hee)
Hyunta or whatever.
I can't believe that obscure young kid stole my modeling job.
Don't you know how much money I got you?
I'm breaking the contract and moving to a different agency.
Oh Na Hee, trust me and go.
Trust you how?
How am I supposed to trust you?
Ms. Oh Na Hee. If you don't go now,
we're breaking the contract first.
- Gi Yun. - I...
don't want to work with an actress who doesn't trust us.
Then I'll trust you and leave.
(VK Media Culture Valley)
Director Cho.
Find out how NA Entertainment signed the contract with Miyu Cosmetics.
Is this really Hee Jae's first time working as a manager?
How can she drink WJ Entertainment's milkshake as soon as she begins?
We got so lucky.
I asked my friend in Japan about her family.
Apparently, her family is extremely rich.
How rich?
Her personal wealth alone is ten billion dollars.
What?
This is Suzuki Amato.
Director Seo's father.
He hates to expose himself in the press.
I barely found his old article.
If things work out well,
can she get us an investment?
Hey, send me that article.
This one? Why?
So you can show off?
I have a place to show off.
Yes, sir. Let's talk about it in person.
Bye.
What brings you here?
Gi Yun.
After you became the chairman...
and kicked me out of WJ Entertainment...
when I worked here for 40 years,
I thought my life was over.
Sir, I don't have time to listen to your complaints.
Thank you for kicking me out.
Do you know who this is?
Seo Hee Jae.
He is Director Seo's father.
So?
This man runs...
a huge business.
He has... Don't be surprised.
Ten billion dollars!
It'll be the start of a new chapter...
for our company now.
What would stop that rich man...
from investing in the company...
his daughter works at?
That's great.
This is Hyunta. Miyu Cosmetics' new model.
- Nice to meet you. - What?
Isn't Oh Na Hee Miyu Cosmetics' model?
It's changed to Hyunta.
I'll buy the best care program here.
Ms. Seo.
Is it true that the model of Miyu Cosmetics has changed?
Do you not talk to your husband? How can you not know about this?
Here.
Let's go.
Seo Hee Jae.
Why do you keep provoking me?
How can she persuade Miyu's management team...
when she just joined NA Entertainment?
What were we doing when she was rampaging Miyu?
I'm sorry.
Get out of my sight now. Get lost.
- Now! - I'll leave now.
How dare Seo Hee Jae screw with our company?
When people find out we lost to NA Entertainment,
it'll be a complete humiliation.
We must not...
accept this.
Sir. Come on.
Please hear me out.
I don't want to hear your excuses. Resign at once.
Gosh, it's upsetting...
how you won't give me a chance.
Well...
You see...
Listen...
This...
You're being unreasonable.
Cut!
Sir. Is it that hard to memorize less than five lines?
I'm sorry, Director Cho.
Something urgent came up last night.
So I couldn't memorize the lines.
You...
If you can't memorize those couple of lines,
just quit acting. Got it?
Well, the lines have a dialect.
It's not all that easy.
Good grief. You're hilarious.
How is the dialect hard when it's used in your hometown?
Goodness.
That guy had a cheat sheet with him whenever we had an exam...
ever since elementary school.
Look how he ended up. Gosh.
When did I do that?
People will believe that's true.
But it is true.
You little...
Seriously.
Gosh, look at her glowing skin.
The more money used, the prettier girls get.
But isn't Beauty Garden really expensive?
The director made a one-off payment.
I knew you were on a different level, Director Seo.
Shouldn't we have a team dinner on such a nice day?
I have plans.
Aren't you running away because you have no money for it?
The team dinner will be my treat.
Really?
Count me out. I don't feel like going to one.
Mr. Hwang. Did something happen?
He failed to memorize his lines and was humiliated at the drama site.
An actor unable to memorize some lines is no biggie.
You can't miss our team dinner because of it.
Why don't you just tell everyone?
Tae Pyung. Why are you crying?
It's my first team dinner since joining the company. Yes!
- What do you want to eat? - I want meat! Beef!
"Beef?"
Listen. Meat is the best...
when it's grilled under proper charcoal fire.
Gosh, it melts in my mouth.
It's delicious!
People were spot on when they said this was the place for team dinners.
With that said,
it's at this very moment.
- Don't come out, and I'll barge in - Jeez.
- Bottoms up, guys. - Bottoms up.
You only live once. Let's drink or die today.
- Pour me a glass. - Okay.
- Hurry up. - The meat will burn.
It's so good.
I grilled the meat. Stop placing them on my plate.
I should be doing it.
- Gosh, just dig in. Try it. - Okay.
Eat it when it's hot.
- Hey, here. - It's delicious.
- Try it. - Have a glass, Director Seo.
Suzuki Amato is an entrepreneur...
who has made a fortune from landscaping.
He even gets invited to the Emperor of Japan's birthday.
And his children?
Suzuki Miharu. He only has one daughter.
In other words, Suzuki Miharu is Seo Hee Jae.
This is interesting. Yes, it is.
- Be careful. - No round two for us.
- Come on. - We'll die. Let's go home.
All right.
(Low Balance)
Ma'am. Your credit card doesn't work.
What? That's impossible.
I used it during the day.
- I'll pay with cash. - Okay. Thank you.
That's right, punk.
Hee Chan, I had a couple of drinks.
Just you wait. I'll be right there.
Where on earth are you going?
- Gosh. - Are we not going to round two?
- No, we're not. - We're not.
Seriously.
- We're not going! - That's right.
Dad! Did you freeze my card?
Do you think I'll return to Japan because of that?
Hee Chan!
Yang Hee Chan!
Hurry up, and open this door!
- Has he gone mad? - I'm getting tipsy
- Does he know what time it is? - Yes, I am
- I said not to come over the phone. - Hee Chan! Yang Hee Chan!
- But here he is. - Hey!
- Don't open the door. - Hee Chan!
My friend! Yang Hee Chan!
Drink with me, your lucky friend, Sung Il.
Now open the door, will you?
Seriously. Back in school, he sucked at studying.
Are you ignoring me now that you're an assemblyman?
Let's have some drinks! Goodness.
- Oh, gosh. Hi there. - What is it?
Hold on a minute.
You see, I'm a friend of Yang Hee Chan who lives here.
- Isn't he famous? - That's right.
Back in the second grade of elementary school,
this punk...
peed his pants during class.
- What? - He was a fool, you know?
- No, I don't. - Did you pee your pants...
- in elementary school? - I'm serious.
No way. That punk.
Good. He's embarrassing me to the whole neighborhood.
- Darn it. - Are you bringing him inside?
No!
Don't do it!
- Gosh, I'm not lying. - No way.
- You're quite drunk, sir. - He did not study one bit.
All he did was chase around girls...
- every single day. - Jeez.
- Sir. - Seriously.
What do I do with that punk?
- Sung Il! - What? My gosh.
- Sung Il! - Goodness.
- Hold on. Hee Chan. - Hi.
- Whenever I drink, - Hi.
- I miss you tons. - Gosh.
- Bye. - Bye.
Wait right there. Do you want to hear the rest?
It's to be continued.
Come on. Let's go inside.
- Okay. - Let's go inside, okay?
- Really. - Okay, got it.
What do you mean by that?
Why did the product model change back to Oh Na Hee?
After Chairman Jang of WJ Entertainment...
met with our CEO in the morning,
our CEO gave us orders.
I see. So Chairman Jang Gi Yun paid a visit.
I'm sorry.
What? So I can't model for this brand?
I told everyone on my live stream that I was Miyu's model.
This is a total embarrassment.
What do I say to the viewers?
They sent me loads of donations.
Take responsibility for this mess.
Our business team said the product...
suited Hyunta more than Oh Na Hee and decided on her.
I can't arbitrarily overturn the decision.
A beauty trend is created...
in the VK Media Culture Valley...
that WJ Entertainment is promoting.
How about...
in condition Miyu takes a place?
Nice in.
Gi Yun, let's play fair and square.
To me, the result is competence.
I believe that's playing fair.
I feel sorry for you, but this is what business is.
I'm disappointed.
Be my guest.
Have you heard?
That the model of Miyu Cosmetics was back to Oh Na Hee?
What do you mean by that?
What about Hyunta?
She didn't get the deal.
Jang Gi Yun wouldn't have sat still.
He must have done something.
What if Hee Jae quits, saying she's embarrassed?
Aside from the cost of workmanship, it'll be 292,000 dollars.
But I paid 400,000 dollars for this in Japan.
You can't resell things at the full price,
even if they are expensive.
I'll buy that necklace.
(Check: 100,000 dollars)
It suits you.
Selling it is a waste.
Just keep it.
And I'll lend you these.
(Cashier's Check)
I'll borrow just one.
Will you spend time with me today in return?
You didn't know
How much pain I was in
I wouldn't mind even if you never know
I was able to carry on
With the strength to miss you
Without you
I don't exist
No matter how much I'm born again
And die again
No world would be as good
As the one I met you
This world can be
Beautiful because
Of your traces
Maybe
This sad day
Under the same sky
You and I
You asked me...
why I didn't wait...
and betrayed Ju Kyung.
It was for Soo A.
Even though I didn't love Jacklyn,
Soo A needed a mom.
I'm sorry.
I criticized you...
without any idea.
About Seo Hee Jae,
did you introduce her to Jang Gi Yun?
Why? Is Seo Hee Jae scary enough...
to suspect me?
Because she's pretty, talented, and rich?
Are you worried about Jang Gi Yun falling for her?
You think she's good enough to be my match?
Just be quiet and find Jang Gi Yun's secret ledger.
When VK Media Culture Valley gets approved,
and Yang Hee Chan becomes the party leader,
Jang Gi Yun will become unstoppable with Yang Hee Chan on his back.
"Exactly. I..."
Do you know what it's like to have the world at your feet?
The joy of controlling the world...
through everything I accomplished on my own.
I'd like to give you a chance to have the world at your feet...
with me.
See that?
It wasn't Seo Hee Jae lingering around Jang Gi Yun,
but it was Jang Gi Yun who fell for Seo Hee Jae.
No.
Jang Gi Yun loves me.
That was my plan.
Plans always change.
I want you to stay by my side.
Were you petty enough to fall for a hypocrite like Jang Gi Yun?
He loved Ju Kyung from the bottom of his heart.
He still misses her.
Why are you so mean to him?
He loved Ju Kyung?
You're the one who made Ju Kyung die!
(The Elegant Empire)
Director Seo received a scouting offer from Jang Gi Yun.
Hee Jae, are you moving to WJ Entertainment?
I made it clear to her.
It bugged me to see how she hangs around you.
I'll give you my answer to your offer.
I'd like to hear it in person.
Come to my house.
To your house?
