(Episode 7)
Back then, I shouldn't have grabbed his hand.
Little did I know that...
grabbing Jang Gi Yun's hand was going to ruin...
my life completely.
Shin Ju Kyung. You made a big mistake.
Gi Yun?
You took my hand when I tried to kill myself.
You're responsible for me for the rest of your life.
I'm sorry. It's just too sudden.
We're here.
Let's get married.
Gi Yun?
I get that you're shocked by Mr. Na's matter and in a tough spot.
I liked you for a long time.
It was not easy, hiding my feelings from you.
But I don't want to hide it anymore.
Right when you took my hand...
the moment I tried to take my life,
I didn't...
want to let go of it.
Don't think about blocking off...
my feelings for you.
I can't stop it anymore.
(Seoul Detention Center)
Everything ended up how Jang Gi Yun wanted.
Eun Ha, who was pregnant with his child, died.
And I, who knew the truth, was imprisoned for no reason.
Are you denying your crime when there's clear proof of embezzlement?
The only way to get a lower sentence is if you admit to it.
Did Jang Gi Yun order to do it?
To meet and persuade me to admit to that crime?
To make the world peaceful?
Director Jang doesn't know I'm here.
I came to help you simply because...
I felt bad for you.
I will admit to the embezzlement...
and reduce the sentence as much as possible.
But once I'm released from prison,
I will kill Jang Gi Yun with my hands.
- I'm leaving. - I know that...
you've been in love with him for a long time.
That's why you can't see the truth, and what you see... No.
And only believe in what you want to.
I understand it's because you love him.
But it's just a shame.
Don't trust that punk Jang Gi Yun too much.
He's a dangerous man.
Do me a favor.
While I'm behind bars, leave flowers for Eun Ha...
on her death anniversary.
I'll promise to do that.
- Hey. - Yes?
- I got your scripts. - Good.
I only need to print the scenes of you two in the senior citizen center...
and mom's friend one, right?
No.
Gosh. I need the whole script to know the flow.
How can I only memorize my lines?
She's right. Because we have bad eyesight,
make the letters large when you print the script.
And highlight...
the senior citizen center parts we're in.
Same here.
Use a pink highlighter for me.
Of course.
Senior actors are really tiresome.
Where do you think you're going?
This place is great.
So this is where the upcoming movie is shot, right?
That is why we're here to rehearse in advance.
Do it properly, will you?
I am, okay?
You have no idea how scary a middle-aged woman can be.
I will kill you and go to the fiery pit.
I quit!
Director Shin, follow the script.
That's my line.
Ye Kyung. Read out the scene for Ms. Oh Na Hee.
"Wang Bok Soon, an ignorant middle-aged woman,"
"is about to explode furiously like a volcano."
"Gosh."
"You have no idea how scary a middle-aged woman can be."
Was that really Wang Bok Soon about to explode with rage?
Do you think acting cute fits this role?
I'm not acting cute. I'm just cute.
Seriously. You still haven't come to your senses, have you?
- Come here! - No!
It hurts. You're scaring me.
You're scaring me.
- I'm sorry. - Come here at once.
Gosh, the local specialties look fancy.
My goodness.
There're so many different varieties of persimmons you can choose from.
It's good. I'm getting some.
It's really good.
(Picking Persimmons)
Are you okay?
- These are mine. - Gosh.
This is so much fun.
This feels like a picnic, not a rehearsal for the shoot.
Let's pick more.
If it's that entertaining, let me join.
Roar. Give me a dried persimmon, and I won't eat you.
Guess who I am.
You can't guess, right?
Gi Yun!
Are you here because you were curious about me?
I see.
Didn't I do a great job?
I sent you on a business trip to a nice place outside of Seoul.
Let's enjoy it, okay?
(WJ Entertainment)
What is it that made you come to the company looking all furious?
If you are going to make Gi Yun marry that country bumpkin,
I will drink this and die right here, right now.
(Chairman Jang Chang Sung)
I'm busy. Stop putting on a show, and leave.
This is not some show!
I'm really going to die.
This marriage...
I can never agree to it.
That man really puts me off!
I just told him that I'd drug myself to death,
but he wouldn't even flinch!
After all, I guess he doesn't want to end up alone.
I left my phone here.
I can't believe I'm married to a guy like that!
All right.
My gosh.
Did you really make this yourself? Why?
The moment I decided not to hide my feelings...
for somebody,
I began to want to do these cheesy things.
Gosh, Gi Yun.
I can't believe you surprised me like this.
But I had no idea...
you'd been hiding feelings for me.
I see.
All right. Try some. I brought chopsticks.
I've never done this before. I'm not sure if it's any good.
Gosh.
My goodness, did you hurt your hand making this lunch box?
You didn't have to hurt yourself to make this for me!
Stay still.
Just eat your food.
Goodness. Don't be so shy.
Let me try some.
- Gi Yun, it's delicious! - Is it?
One hundred and ninety-six.
One hundred and ninety-seven.
One hundred and ninety-eight.
One hundred and ninety-nine.
Two hundred.
Jang Gi Yun, wait just a little longer.
I'll be out soon to end your life.
- Should we take pictures? - Really?
Okay. In 1, 2, 3.
Goodness, I shook my hand.
Once again. In 1, 2, 3.
Anyway, Ju Kyung.
When will you give me an answer to my proposal?
Ju Kyung?
Wait, you're into Director Shin, not me?
Are you two dating?
No.
Yes, we're dating.
No way. Is this real?
It's not like that.
My gosh.
Where are you going?
Wait up!
What's happening?
I think this is a dream.
That hurts. What are you doing?
It's not a dream.
No way!
Ju Kyung!
Ju Kyung.
I find it hard to believe...
you suddenly have feelings for me.
No, that you have always liked me.
Why are you suddenly doing this? I feel like you're teasing me.
I wanted to get my act together...
and settle down with someone.
I want to be with someone who can save me from loneliness.
And it's you.
I thought hard about it,
and it was you.
I don't think...
I can do that.
You're in love with me too.
I heard Gi Yun proposed to you.
You knew about it?
Can you please stop him?
I don't want to stop him.
- What? - Director Shin.
No, Ju Kyung.
Please accept his proposal.
I can't do that, Chairman Jang.
I'm already grateful enough that you treated my sister and me...
as if we were your family since we were in the children's home.
(Chairman Jang Chang Sung)
Ju Kyung.
It would be wonderful...
if you really became my family.
You can't sleep? What's bothering you?
Gi Yun is your first love. Just marry him.
It feels like I'm stepping too far over the line.
I don't think I deserve to marry him.
Why not?
You were the one who turned WJ into this huge agency.
All right.
Ju Kyung, what are you doing?
(Chamsomang Children's Home)
I heard you were the man who gave me the scholarship.
I wanted to do something for you.
Thank you.
Goodness, you are one smart girl.
But sir, can you give that scholarship...
to my sister?
No, I'm okay.
Just give it to my sister.
No, please give it to her.
I can't let you two fight like this.
I should give it to both of you.
Really?
Wipe your face.
You got shoe polish on your face.
Take it.
When I first met Gi Yun at the children's home,
it seemed like he was beaming.
He was different from other boys I grew up with.
He was like a prince.
It seemed like he lived in a completely different world.
I was always happy to play with him whenever he made a visit.
At times, I wondered how great it would be...
to have a brother like Gi Yun...
and a dad like Chairman Jang.
That it would be wonderful to have a family like this.
But now that Gi Yun asked me to marry him,
I'm scared.
What's to be scared of? Just marry him.
Na Hee found out, so the whole world will find out about you two.
She's really talkative.
Mr. Ko.
Did you hear that Mr. Jang proposed to Director Shin?
Yes, Na Hee called me last night.
She said she had big news and that it was just for me,
but the entire office already knew once I got to work.
Hey, Na Hee told me...
that Gi Yun even made...
- a lunch box for Director Shin! - What?
Weren't they too busy to date?
You never know.
Good morning!
It looks like...
Na Hee already told everyone about you and Gi Yun.
Even after many rebirths
- And many farewells - Mr. Jang!
- Thank you. - Grab a drink, everyone.
I won't find a better world than this
Where I met you
This world is beautiful
Probably because of the traces
You were here
Look at that.
Mr. Cho.
It's Ji Tae's debut work as a supporting actor.
He can become a lead actor only if he acts well in this one.
Okay.
I'll call you again.
My princess.
- Mom. I'm sleepy. - Yes?
Is that so?
"After eating the poisoned apple from the queen,"
"Snow White faints."
"The queen looked at the unconscious Snow White..."
Here.
Father. How do you feel?
There you go.
I'm all right.
Is everything okay at the company?
Our new actor from last year, Yoon Ji Tae,
got a supporting role in a drama.
The movie we invested in brought in great profit.
Great work.
I know that it's all thanks to you that...
the company is doing well despite me being in bed.
So thank you.
Don't thank me.
I'm grateful to you for giving me a family...
and the opportunity to put in my best effort for them.
Ju Kyung.
WJ Entertainment is the company I established...
with everything I saved up my entire life.
Please protect it well next to Gi Yun.
I will, Father.
Don't worry about the company.
Focus on your health, okay?
Okay.
I will.
What are those two plotting?
He can't walk after suffering from a cerebral hemorrhage,
and he isn't entirely mentally sound due to Alzheimer's.
So why is he not handing over the company to Gi Yun?
Don't tell me that man...
is really passing the company to Ju Kyung.
If he does, I won't stay still and do nothing.
What are all of these?
I told you we were going to make kimchi at the children's home tomorrow.
Did you forget?
Salt down the cabbages...
and make the seasoning before you go to bed.
Mother.
I have an important meeting tomorrow and can't spare any time.
Can't we get Ms. Kim's help just this once?
My gosh.
Mother!
Didn't I tell you not to talk back to me?
I told you that...
talking back to me every single time just because you work...
was distasteful, didn't I?
I'm sorry.
Do you know how sickening it was until now,
seeing you rely on my husband and cross the line?
I put up with it back then, but not anymore.
So from now on, mind your manners.
What are you waiting for? Salt down the cabbages!
I don't think there's a better fit for the role of Julia Kim...
in your upcoming film than Na Hee, Director.
Sorry, but I'm looking for a more oriental-looking type...
with a stronger image.
Ms. Oh does not cut out for the role.
Oh, yes.
Okay. It's okay.
Sorry, it didn't work out, man.
Gosh, it's okay.
Thanks to you,
I got to meet Hollywood's global director, David Willis.
That was enough for me.
Hey. Is that Jacklyn Taylor?
- Why? Do you know her? - Yes.
- Bro. - Hey, Jacklyn.
At least half of America knows her, man.
- What are you doing here? - Can I take a picture with you?
After her foster American parents passed away,
she stepped into a fortune, right? Guess how much.
She's a billionaire heiress.
She's the hottest in America's society.
- Thank you so much. - Politicians, magnates,
- and Hollywood stars... - One more.
are all dying to go on a date with her.
- Thank you. - Oh, my gosh.
- Bye. - Goodness.
We took a picture with Jacklyn.
Hey. Her dress, shoes, bag, and ring.
Those must be over two million dollars.
Can you become someone who can set a meeting with her?
Bro, what are you talking about, man?
An everyday Joe like me can never become acquainted with such a noble.
It's the same old story in Korea and in the US.
The top-tier folks. They keep to their own circles.
Ju Kyung. What are you doing in the middle of the night?
Mother is volunteering...
at the children's home tomorrow to make kimchi.
You work to your bones at the company,
then look after your paralyzed father-in-law at home.
And yet, you were told to do this?
Are you this family's servant or what?
You must be tired. Go and get some rest.
I can do it alone.
You can never finish this alone.
I thought marrying into a wealthy family would end your hardship.
Who knew they would give you such a tough time?
Good morning. Have some coffee.
- Here. - Thanks.
- Coffee? - Yes.
Okay.
How about some coffee?
Got it.
This is WJ Entertainment.
"General Manager Ko Yoon Sik?" Please hold.
Is General Manager Ko Yoon Sik here?
- That's me. - You have a call.
Who are you?
Oh, good morning.
I am Jung Woo Hyuk, who will become WJ's new actor.
"Who will become an actor?" What does that mean?
Oh, he didn't pass the recent new actor recruit audition.
He came this morning to learn anything and everything.
How can you let an outsider into the company?
It'll be bad if rumors go around about our internal matters.
I'm not a blabbermouth.
- Hey, do you have a shoot today? - No.
I'm volunteering at a children's home with Hye Rim.
Why are you telling me that only now?
I have a tight schedule today and can't make time.
Why would you come? Just why?
You're not a volunteer member.
Won't the reporters be there?
Politicians must participate in those, you know?
My goodness.
Self-claimed Mr. Prominent Politician.
Please have some sincerity, will you?
How can you use...
volunteer work to promote your politics? Really.
You're helpless. Good grief.
Tell me where the children's home is. Honey! Young Ran!
Wait. I can make copies for you.
Hey.
I'm sorry.
Yes? And my name isn't "Hey." I'm Jung Woo Hyuk.
Do you need me to do something?
It's uncomfortable to have a stranger in the office.
(Resident Registration ID: Jung Woo Hyuk)
I'm not a shady guy.
I did not pass the audition,
but I wanted to come and help here as I prepared for my debut.
May I take those scripts?
Gosh, thank you!
It's my first time seeing an actual script.
Goodness.
Can you take a picture of me? I want to remember this moment.
What?
(Inferno)
Here.
Thank you.
Why did Jung Woo Hyuk fail the audition?
He was too ambitious and too immersed.
In a nutshell, he got ahead of himself and was too much.
It's a limit he faces as an amateur.
"You better be ready today."
"That's why we shouldn't emphasize communication for our application."
"In the meantime..."
Ju Kyung.
Gi Yun is returning from his business trip today, right?
I'll stay here. You should pick him up at the airport.
Instead of coming straight home, go out together too.
Go out where?
You two have never gone on a date since the chairman collapsed.
Go now.
You two should have lots of fun and come home very late. Okay?
(International Arrivals)
Honey!
You didn't have to come.
I knew you'd be jetlagged, so I came to drive for you.
Did the business go well?
You want to hog Dad's trust,
so you always hope everything I do falls through.
Why do you even ask?
What do you mean?
Jacklyn!
Hey.
Long time no see.
Jacklyn, this guy is Jang Gi Yun.
Did I ever tell you...
that he's the biggest scumbag in this world?
Seung Pil, it's been ages.
Anyway, when were you released from prison?
She's Jacklyn, my business partner.
Hello, my name is Jang Gi Yun.
Mr. Na, I'm tired.
See you around.
Ms. Shin, thanks for leaving flowers at Eun Ha's memorial every year.
It was a promise.
Honey, let's go.
Gosh, you smell like garlic.
Right. I volunteered to make kimchi at the children's home, so...
Why did you make a promise to a man who stabbed my back?
Don't you ever think?
Honey!
(The Elegant Empire)
What was it like to see Jang Gi Yun in real life?
I'm not interested in love or men.
It's a shame to leave Jacklyn by Seung Pil's side, not you.
I'm a man who must have something once I set my mind to it.
If I were you, here's what I would do.
