Two of them for 15,000 won.
I'll come next time. Thank you.
[Sketch]
Hello.
It's so pretty.
This one?
Hey, Oppa!
Hey! What's with you?
- Oppa, don't. - What are you doing?
- People are watching. - What are you drawing? Give it.
Give it to me!
Give it. Give it, man!
Oppa, seriously!
- Come. Come here. Give it! - Stop it, please!
Give it to me!
You crazy a**hole!
Oppa, stop it!
- Hey! - Stop! Please don't record this.
- Don't record us. - Come here!
Get over here!
Artist Sin.
It turns out Sin Dae Ryuk is the one who got beat up.
This a**hole was about to touch my girlfriend!
Is that true?
- What do you mean, no? - Come on!
It really wasn't like that!
But... he did follow me around and creeped me out.
He kept staring with creepy eyes.
[Sketch]
I was d-drawing...
Let me introduce myself formally.
I'm CEO Kim Young Shin of YoungToon.
Oh, yes.
I caught you off guard by coming to see you without notice, right?
Yes, I was in a bit of a shock.
It's extremely rare for the CEO to personally pay a visit.
Had I asked you in advance through someone else,
I was afraid you'd turn me down right away.
We want to have you at our company, Deputy Editor.
I want to scout you as Editor-in-Chief of YoungToon.
Artist Sin, why did you do that exactly?
Artist Sin, do you know what today is?
The publication of the Peeve Weapon series was confirmed today.
It's the happiest and most meaningful day of my life as a PD.
It's the day your dream came true. But...
I couldn't figure out the female character's emotions that I was supposed to revise.
So I drew someone similar to the character.
Are you ultimately saying that you bothered other people because of your cartoon?
Artist Sin!
Yes, your cartoon is important.
But it's not as valuable as people. I...
I think you forget that all the time.
I'm sorry. I'll have to get going first tonight.
Don't abandon me!
PD, you're...
a god... to me.
Now, I see why Artist Sin said you're like a god to him.
People don't like me.
They didn't like my cartoon, either.
But... you're the only one who said I'm fine just the way I am.
Saying that I'm also valuable...
You believed in me.
- Artist Sin, I just... - I'll never do anything you tell me not to do.
I won't do things you dislike, so...
please don't discard me.
I'm sorry.
What are you thinking about?
Jun Yeong.
Run first.
Is it about what happened yesterday? You don't look good.
Jun Yeong, can I ask you a favor?
What kind of favor?
About the incident with Sin Dae Ryuk...
Can you keep it a secret from work?
You'd be in a tough spot if it's found out later.
I'm afraid the publication of his series might get canceled.
I'll be sure it has no negative effects on you, Jun Yeong.
- All right. - Thank you.
My apologies.
I had to work late last night.
So I couldn't answer your call.
Jun Yeong, you seem to work hard at everything.
It seems you took a great part in maintaining the presence on the homepage.
So, what happened with Artist Na Gang Nam?
For now, he decided to work side by side with YoungToon on a short project.
So he'll continue his series on Neon, right?
Was this also your achievement?
- That's... - I believe action over words.
But your current stance on things seems to have changed a little bit.
Just let me know anytime if you've changed your mind.
I thought you were too good to waste so I just wanted to give you an opportunity.
Everyone, listen up.
Daebak incident! Daebak!
People don't say "Daebak" that much these days.
If so, super-daebak insident!
So, what are you referring to?
I located Artist Ma Hae Gyu.
- What? - Daebak!
Artist Ma Hae Gyu...
"Please! Time Machine." That Artist Ma Hae Gyu?
Yup!
He's been in seclusion for a long time.
You have quite a network and connections, Editor.
I worked through all my connections from when I used to print comic books.
Since "Please! Time Machine" is so hot right now,
wouldn't it be great to do a webtoon remake?
Convincing him won't be easy, though.
Right. It won't be easy.
So I'll step forward.
You'll personally do the convincing?
Since I used to be the PD in charge and worked with him.
So I was thinking, On Ma Eum and Gu Jun Yeong.
- Yes? - Yes.
What a hassle. PD On-Gu from now on.
You two, go with me.
It'll be good to discuss the proposal you two worked on with him.
- Okay, sounds good. - Yes.
Fighting! Yeah!
Fighting!
Amazing Jang Man Cheol.
I met Artist Ma Hae Gyu for the first time when I was a rookie like you guys.
He used to be a big-name master back then.
How about now?
He's been out of the limelight.
He stopped drawing a while ago.
I don't even know if he'd remember me.
But I'm not as nervous since I'm going with you guys.
You've arranged this meeting in advance with Artist Ma Hae Gyu, right?
His daughter answered the phone.
She said to come and talk to him in person if I wanted to.
My goodness...
I thought he'd be extremely well off, considering his royalties.
He was.
He just lost it all.
Through stocks and gambling.
Artist Ma!
Artist Ma Hae Gyu!
His daughter said that he's always home.
Artist Ma Hae Gyu!
Who are you?
Oh, you must be Yu Na.
I'm the one you spoke to over the phone. Jang Man Cheol ahjussi.
Editor-in-Chief at Neon.
Is your father inside?
Please come in.
Excuse us.
I have to get to my part-time job. So please wrap up in 30 minutes.
Your mom must not be home?
Your mom likes watermelons. So I bought one.
If you tell her I came by, your mom will be so glad to see me.
Your mom used to feed me a lot, too.
Her kimchi stew is super good.
Well, so... when is your mom coming home?
She passed away.
His room is over that way.
Let's go.
Sir? May I come in?
Sir...
How have you been?
I used to work for the comic magazine "Flow."
I'm Jang Man Cheol.
Jang Man Cheol?
When I used to live in Apgujeong, you used to come by to pick up my manuscript, right?
Yes, sir!
Yes, you remember me.
Sit down.
- Sit. - Yes.
Do you still like baseball?
Was it Monsters?
You still haven't switched out of that last-place team?
I'd rather quit baseball than switch teams.
That's a great line!
I'll have to use it next time.
So, what brings you here today?
Yes, one of your works, "Please, Time Machine"...
I thought it'd be good if we remake that into a webtoon.
- So I came to discuss that with you. - I won't do it!
You must read comics on paper.
You shouldn't be reading it on a tiny phone screen.
Yes, but the scenes in your cartoon are so wonderfully done.
If we change that up to fit the current webtoon scroll format,
I think it will become very popular.
It would be a great opportunity to introduce your works to the youth.
I'll think about it if you bring me one billion won.
My heart and soul are in that comic.
M-Maybe not one billion won, but we'll do our best to give you a great offer.
Of course, you'll own the copyright, royalties, and all that.
We'll offer you as much as possible at the signing of the contract
to improve your finances and the state of your studio-
That moron still thinks he's a successful cartoonist.
- Your father truly is the best. - So what?
He's been erased from the world a long time ago.
To help him revive his career, my mom struggled all her life to support him and died.
I just feel sorry for my mom.
Human trash.
We'll be back.
You're wasting your time.
It'd be the same even if you come back.
If anything comes up and need my help, call me.
You can call me if you crave yummy food or are bored.
[Neon, On Ma Eum]
Ma Yu Na, fighting!
- See you again. - Call me.
[Neon, On Ma Eum]
You two should watch and learn.
Going forward as PDs,
I brought you with me, so you could understand the artists you'll get to work with in the future.
Especially you, PD On Ma Eum.
Yes?
You'll have to pay more attention to Artist Sin Dae Ryuk.
The lives of artists who only know how to be cartoonists usually turn out in a similar fashion.
They may leave brilliant works behind, but most of them lose balance in life.
So that genius doesn't light fire just once and go out.
Helping them so that they can shine for a long time.
That's our job as PDs.
Yes, I'll keep that in mind.
[Chungma Study Dorm]
[PD On Ma Eum]
Artist Sin, it's PD On Ma Eum.
Are you in?
[No smoking]
Artist Sin...
PD On.
May I come in for a minute?
Well...
Y-Yes...
You do sleep as you work, right?
How about food? Did you eat?
Yeah, well...
I eat stuff like that. Bento...
This won't do.
Let's go eat together.
- What? - Hurry up.
Get ready and come out.
Okay.
Artist Sin, I told you this last time.
Your cartoon is very important.
But it's not as valuable as people.
Yes.
You're also included in that "people."
Be sure to eat nutritious meals and you must sleep well. All right?
Yes.
The storyline keeps slipping out of my head...
Food.
Eat well...
- Sleep... - Sleep well...
Good.
The meat is burning. Eat up.
Thank you for this food.
[10:59 p.m., 9/11/2022, Sunday]
[Neon: "Full Count" is posted]
[1 year ago]
Gather around!
The coach is here. Everyone, gather around!
He swings the bat and is so dynamic!
- Oh, my! - This is Wu Jin!
[Full Count, By Lee Wu Jin]
- Hello. - Good morning!
Gu Jun Yeong. Isn't this too much?
Pardon?
"Full Count" is already in fourth place.
The rookie did such a spectacular job!
Really?
Congrats. It'll reach the royal level in no time.
Thank you.
PD Kwon, you'll have to tense up.
He'll catch up to "The Girl's Rule" in no time.
Is that so? You're better than your seniors.
Come on. Come at me.
"There is one more for me to read."
"I'm curious to find out what will happen next."
All the comments are positive, too.
Congratulations! Gosh, I'm so envious of you.
"Peeve Weapon" will do well, too.
Thank you.
Aren't you going out to lunch?
Hey.
Your meeting with Artist Ma Hae Gyu yesterday, didn't go well?
That man, he's gone way downhill.
He's extremely broken.
I had heard it through the grapevine.
But meeting him in person brought me down.
Wondering how my idol of youth has come to this.
That's why this remake project is more poignant for you.
Am I being too greedy?
Ever since GingerToon days, you wanted to convert that title into a digital format.
So, you remember.
Am I too stuck in the past?
Making you feeling frustrated as you work by my side?
No.
I believe this proposal is well-intended and also has good profitability.
By utilizing characters we revive through the webtoon,
there is a good potential to expand into other opportunities with additional copyrights.
Right?
You think so, too, right?
Hey, that's it, then!
Now that you say it like that, I feel so much more assured!
Great! Let's go eat!
Hey, what are you doing?
What I don't understand about Artist Ma Hae Gyu is that
this is a great opportunity to easily make some money at the latter stage of his life.
Why did he turn it down?
Wouldn't it be about an artist's ego?
He could be a perfectionist.
Actually, a remake could be a double-edged sword.
It's a rebirth, if you put it nicely.
Your work is being worked on by other people.
He could be concerned about damaging his work.
An artist's ego.
It's important.
Especially a master like Artist Ma Hae Gyu.
A genius of an artist usually doesn't get hindered by the ways of the world.
I thought you were a realist, PD Kwon.
That's because I'm an ordinary salaryman, unlike Artist Ma.
If he were apologetic like a guilty one and behaved like me,
he would've never created a masterpiece like "Please, Time Machine" in the first place.
But still, shouldn't he fulfill his role as the head of a household first?
He still has a family he needs to support.
That's because our PD Gu Jun Yeong is a baby
who has no idea what a masterpiece "Please, Time Machine" is.
Just eat.
On Ma Eum, what do you think?
You read the entire "Please, Time Machine," right?
Yes, I read it all.
What did you think?
Excuse me.
Hello?
Yes, this is On Ma Eum.
I'm sorry.
I have to go.
I'll be right there.
Where is this?
It's on that cell phone!
What a nutjob!
Let go! I'm the victim here.
- Let go. - Yu Na.
Are you Ma Yu Na's guardian?
I'm her unni. What is this about?
This crazy b**** pushed me and destroyed my cell phone!
You secretly took a picture of me from the back!
When did I do that?
- Do you have proof? - I do!
Show us your phone!
You destroyed it, so I can't turn it on.
What proof?
Can't you still run the forensics on a broken phone?
It's possible.
Then, let's do this.
I'll compensate you for the phone but please submit your phone as evidence.
- What? - If you're innocent, I don't think you have anything to lose.
Why don't you do that?
- Why should I? - Are you okay?
I'm the victim.
Let's do that and wrap it up.
- Geez. - Come on now.
I'm sorry about today.
If I say I have no adult to reach out to, they look down on me more and flip out.
People like him.
You did great.
If something like this happens again in the future, call me.
No. So, they can't mess with you, to begin with,
should I teach you self-defense?
As for the money for the phone, I'll repay you with my part-time pay.
But do you usually work at this time of the day?
Shouldn't you be at school?
The part-timer during the day didn't show up.
Well, it's not any fun at school.
It's better to make an extra dollar by going to work.
Give me a bite.
- Excuse me? - The cake.
Give me a bite.
Hey, this is so yummy!
Should we order another one?
Mom also used to say "Ah," asking me for a bite.
Your mother was so beautiful.
She was pretty.
Her face and heart both.
She just happened to meet a trashy man like my dad
and passed away working all the time, trying to keep that moron alive.
Because of that stupid cartoon.
It's Artist Oh Yun!
You're right! Yes, right!
He said hi.
Is it because he's drawing a terrible piece?
He doesn't look good.
But I'm sure he doesn't have to draw anymore to make a living.
True. Is that why he's not trying too hard?
I guess I'd be the same way.
I think his drawings are getting weirder.
I know. The story sucks, too.
I don't think he's working.
I guess anyone could become a cartoonist.
I guess he heard us. Quiet, quiet.
I dropped hints about terminating the series early to Artist Oh Yun.
But he was strongly against the idea.
He says never.
He's afraid that he'd be marked as an early-terminated artist.
Well, that's the expected reaction.
So, I was wondering... could we give him a little more time?
Do you think that
the Editor brought up early termination just because of the sales number?
Do you really think that this is helping Artist Oh Yun?
Yu Na, have you ever read your father's comics?
I haven't.
After my mom passed away, I didn't even want to look at them.
So I threw out all of them that were in the house.
I don't even read webtoons.
I just hate comics altogether.
Hate it.
Hey. Coming from somewhere?
I met with Artist Ma's daughter.
At this time of the day?
Well, you know...
She's struggling a lot at her age.
Yes.
I could understand why Yu Na would
- resent Artist Ma. - I guess so.
Especially if she has never read Artist Ma's work.
But still, I got to see Yu Na smile today.
She has such a bright and pretty smile.
I hope she can smile brightly and prettily like that in the future.
For that to happen, you must make sure Artist Ma's contract comes through, PD On.
Yes, sir.
Artist Sin Dae Ryuk's series starts today, right?
- Yes, that's right. - You must be nervous.
No, I have butterflies.
- You must be nervous. - No, I have butterflies.
I'm sure you're nervous.
Gosh, no!
I used to be a judo athlete. I don't get nervous over stuff like that.
- Gosh. - How many minutes to go?
Three minutes before 11 o'clock.
- Come on now. - Let's go!
[Peeve Weapon]
It's up.
Come on, come on.
Geez! Seriously!
[Peeve Weapon, By Sin Dae Ryuk]
[Comments]
What's wrong?
What's this?
You kept scrolling too fast. I couldn't read it all.
It's not fun?
Give it.
Give me the second episode.
- Is it fun? - Unni, this is crazy!
It's super fun! So fun!
Unni, do you have any coins saved up?
Mom, I'll subscribe to this and read it.
Oh, my gosh! Good job!
You did a great job, my daughter!
Hey, let's read it again slowly.
From the beginning. Go up to the top.
[Why is this so fun? / It's legendary storytelling]
Whoa, why is this so fun?
It's legendary storytelling
I smell it all of a sudden.
Let's go all the way!
Wow, the artist is a genius!
It's the ultimate crazy worldview.
I was going to skip it because the drawings sucked.
But it's so fun!
Oh, boy...
You're cool, Sin Dae Ryuk.
[PD On Ma Eum]
Yes.
Artist Sin, did you see the reactions to "Peeve Weapon"?
Everyone says it's very fun.
I saw them.
I'm glad.
You worked so hard.
"Peeve Weapon"...
No.
As your number one fan, I'm so proud.
Thank you.
Really...
It's all thanks to your help, PD On.
Artist Sin, are you crying?
Artist Sin,
let us walk along the flowery paths only.
Flowery paths...
Sounds good.
So, stop crying.
It was so much fun today.
Gosh, so much fun? What's that?
Congratulations.
So pretty... Come on!
Should I send it to her?
I should send it.
Gosh, seriously.
Good work, PD On.
[#3 "Peeve Weapon"] Wow!
"Peeve Weapon" is daebak!
Congratulations, PD On Ma Eum!
Thank you.
It entered the royal level as soon as we published it.
The reaction is hot on the SNS sites as well!
The payment rates to watch previews are explosive, too.
Often, people watch the first episode and don't pay for the remaining episodes.
I know.
I was worried about his drawing style, but
fortunately, I think they're looking at it as his unique style for now.
What if we had missed such a daebak piece of work?
Right, PD Kwon?
PD Kwon, stay alert.
You've totally out of it.
The young ones are pushing their way up.
Satisfied?
Happy now?
You said it!
You know that this is just the beginning, right?
Yes, sir!
If you compare it to a marathon,
you just got started.
That's right.
Winning the first 100m is meaningless.
I'll run hard, so I can finish the race!
- Fighting! - Fighting!
- Congrats, congrats!
Congrats!
Congratulations!
I'm so glad that both "Full Count" and "Peeve Weapon" have good reviews.
Let's run the race well to the end.
Okay.
The comments. The comments.
The comments.
We want to have you at our company, Deputy Editor.
I want to scout you as
Editor-in-Chief of YoungToon.
What are you doing?
I was looking for something.
You look like you got caught doing something else.
That'd be me.
You're in...
good mood today.
Both "Full Count" and "Peeve Weapon" are doing well!
Also, "The Girl's Rule."
They're always scolding me, saying we spend money
on the webtoon camp without any results.
I should just throw it back to that Heo Kwan Yeong's face...
Ji Hyeong, you work so hard! Thank you so much!
Gosh, don't mention it.
I didn't do much.
You didn't do much?
You made Artist Na Gang Nam stay.
You discovered new artists.
And you assigned them to the new PDs.
Then you took care of them and made sure they did well.
Deputy Editor Seok Ji Hyeong!
I look forward to continuing to work with you!
Geez, man.
I couldn't have done it without you.
Gosh, I'm so relieved.
I should've visited you at your studio.
I wanted to come in today to look around YoungToon studio.
After looking around, do you get the sense that you'd want to do your next series with us?
That'd be nice, but
I'm cautious of what Deputy Editor Seok thinks.
What does that matter?
Nothing says Ji Hyeong sunbae has to work at Neon forever.
What do you mean by that?
You just don't know what'll happen.
Just like how you and I got to reunite.
Geez! Something... something's up...
Honey!
What is all this?
I was feeling down...
so I got a new car.
H-Honey, drive s-slowly!
Why would I have bought this if I were going to drive slowly?
- Gosh, feels great! - Come on!
Come on! Drive slowly!
Gosh, I finished it.
[#2 "Full Count"]
Yes!
I have one more title to read now.
I want to know what happens next.
A girls' baseball player story?
Thrilling.
It's so fun! The best!
I believe action over words.
But your current stance on things
seems to have changed a little bit.
I feel...
so terrible for you when I see you, Oppa.
No.
I think it's a shame.
Isn't it about time you leave it all behind you?
What are you talking about?
GingerToon.
The memory of it.
- Stop it. - You stop it, Oppa.
You should step away from the shadows of Editor Jang Man Cheol.
No. Step away from the shadows altogether.
So that you can move forward.
Hi, Yu Na.
Coming home now?
You're here again.
Artist Ma won't meet me.
Let's go in together.
It's too late tonight.
Here.
This...
Share it with your father.
I bought some snacks for you.
Ahjussi...
you're having a hard time, too.
Calling him "Artist, Artist"...
What artist?
Never mind cartoons. He can't even draw a straight line.
I still...
love your father's cartoons and respect him a lot.
The reason I had dreams of working in this field
and fulfilling that dream
was all thanks to your father's cartoons.
What's your dream?
No such a thing for me.
If you have a dream,
you turn out like that moron.
My wish is...
to make money as soon as possible
and escape from this house.
Give this to your father.
It's the paperwork on the webtoon remake project.
Go in. I'll be back again.
It won't make a difference no matter what you say to him.
The time has stopped ticking for him.
[Gu Ae Ri]
Happy birthday.
I told you I just need one.
I feel bad that I couldn't buy you one.
They are pretty now that I see them in one place.
Noona.
[Heaven Memorial Park]
[Heaven's Post Office]
To my friend whom I miss so much.
Happy birthday.
I should quit eating late-night snacks...
Jun Yeong?
I heard you took a day off.
Did you come to read comic books?
Why don't you go in?
That's right!
Considering you're our VVIP, you really didn't come by that much.
Do you want to eat ramen?
I'll make you some.
Come in.
There...
I don't know about other dishes,
but I make unbelievable ramen.
Right?
It's really good!
The true taste of ramen is when you eat it in a comic book cafe.
It's the real thing.
Thank you.
For making you ramen?
Yes.
Were you reading Artist Ma's comics again?
Yes.
I mean, it's so fun no matter how many times I read it.
The masterpiece is definitely set apart.
It'd be nice if Yu Na got to read this, too.
I felt so bad that she just hated all comics.
What if you brought her here?
I didn't know it until I came here, either.
How fun comic books are.
I wonder if Yu Na feels that way because she doesn't know it yet.
Why didn't I think of that?
Thank you!
The price of ramen.
Of course, an elite is different.
Gosh, I should've made you two!
Do you need anything else?
- Do you have rice? - Rice, rice, rice.
Welcome!
Hi!
When are you done?
I'm done after I put these away.
Really?
Should I put this here?
It's okay. I should do it.
I want to take you somewhere after finishing your shift as soon as possible.
You haven't eaten yet, right?
What kind of words do you guys use these days?
Do you say things like "Whatchamacallit"?
No.
- You don't? - That's right.
Isn't that trendy these days?
They may not say that these days, but there's one more step above that saying.
I heard people don't say "King-batne*" these days, either. (Means pissed, angry)
I heard people say "King-baterashu" or "King's succession." Something like that.
Ta-da! It's this place.
[Comic Book Cafe]
I don't like comic books.
No, no, no.
It's my home.
You don't have to read comic books.
Let's go in and eat dinner.
Let's eat something yummy.
Let's go in!
We're here. We're here.
- Welcome. - Hello!
You can read everything that's in here.
I don't read comic books.
[Math 1]
You must be busy working part-time, yet you want to make the grades, too, huh?
I must have the basics down, so I can make a living in the future.
Nice.
Mother, two kimchi fried rice, please.
Sure, ma'am.
Enjoy.
- Thank you for this food. - Thank you.
Is it to your liking?
It's delicious.
Whatever you eat, if you eat it in a comic book cafe, it's twice as good.
Is it your mother?
Yes.
It's my favorite picture out of the ones we took together.
You're so cute, Yu Na!
Oh, my goodness!
This quote...
Oh, it's from a saying that my mom used to say all the time.
While saying that, she came up with one good event every day.
Even if it was a small thing.
"With one fragment of happy memories from the past,
a person could be satisfied for the rest of his life."
"So for your future,
I wish you a little bit more happiness today."
How do you know that?
The quote your mom used to tell you is a very famous line.
From "Please, Time Machine."
Yu Na, your mother must've loved your father's comic books a lot.
[Please, Time Machine]
[Ma Hae Gyu]
Come over next time, and let's eat ramen.
Let's eat, okay?
Okay, go in.
You didn't have to walk me home.
I wanted to exercise. I wanted to walk, and that's why I came.
Here. Go in.
Bye.
Gosh. Hurry up and go in.
Bye!
Where did he go at this hour?
Hello, Artist Ma.
I wanted to say something to you, Artist Ma.
I have nothing to say to you.
Your work touched my heart.
I really respect your thoughts as a creator.
But...
if you consider Yu Na,
you shouldn't continue to live like this...
What do you mean, "Live like this"?
If I couldn't live like this,
I would've never started drawing cartoons, to begin with!
Whether it's this alcohol or whatever, no matter how much I pour
I have a hole in my heart that I can't fill! That's why I draw!
That's how a masterpiece is born.
You don't believe me?
If you don't believe me,
try filling up the void in the hearts of all the artists!
And see if any good work comes out of them or not!
The most valuable masterpiece you made...
The artwork you should feel most responsible for is Yu Na, isn't it?
Did you go out and buy alcohol again?
Don't come into my room without my permission.
I thought you went out to work or something.
I should've known better.
I'm a cartoonist.
My job is to come up with storylines and draw at home.
Give me a break.
All you do is drink and gamble all the time.
You only say that you're a cartoonist, an artist. Doesn't it bother your conscience?
What cartoon?
You can't even draw a straight line anymore.
Please come to your senses and know yourself!
- What the hell do you know? - I know everything!
[Please, Time Machine] I saw your picture in this book.
You really shined through.
But that person is no more.
Just give up now and see your reality! Please!
With the work you desired to do, people acknowledged you for it, and you were happy!
Wasn't that enough?
Ordinary people live their lives diligently without those moments.
They don't obsess about the past glory and dream like you and waste their life!
If I don't draw cartoons... what am I if I don't draw them?
I'm nothing.
Why are you nothing?
You're a dad.
You're Ma Yu Na's dad.
A famous cartoonist. A genius cartoonist.
I don't need any of that!
I never needed any of that from the beginning!
Just be a dad to me.
An ordinary dad.
[Neon Webtoon Contents Service Team]
Artist Ma!
Artist Ma.
Why?
Hello, Artist Ma.
Hello, sir.
Aigoo, Artist Ma. You're here.
We were going to come and get you.
I'm perfectly fine. Why bother?
The contract from that time give it to me again.
[Contract]
Where should I put my seal?
Pardon?
My seal.
I'll put the seal on it right now.
Gosh, sir!
T-Thank you... You can put this on two sides...
- Hey... - Okay.
Thank you, sir. Yes...
Over here, too.
[Ma Hae Gyu]
Sir, gosh...
Gosh. T-Thank you so much.
Could you give us a moment alone?
You came to see us first time in a while.
You should eat with us before you go.
It's okay.
I can just go home and eat.
You just be sure to keep the promise you made to me.
You must.
Okay.
I'm counting on you.
Yes.
Goodbye, sir.
Keep this to yourself, Dad.
It's really fun and moving.
Where shall I go?
To the future.
Excuse me?
To the future far, far away.
Things wrapped up nicely.
That's right.
Going forward, I hope Yu Na and Artist Ma only have things to smile about.
I'm sure that'll happen.
Hyung, you're back.
PD On Ma Eum.
What did you say to Artist Ma?
Well...
He says he's grateful that you recognized his most valuable masterpiece.
Is he talking about a new series?
No.
[Daewoon Girls High School, Judo Gym]
Hey, you're here.
Hey, they're doing well.
What's Ma Eum up to these days?
Is she still on a break?
She's working these days.
Working? What kind of work?
In a semi-pro team?
No. She got into Neon. Neon.
She's creating webtoons...
What?
Now is not the time for her to do that.
At the upcoming national competition,
the people who used to stumble Ma Eum...
All those morons will be off the judging panel.
Jun Yeong, are you busy today?
No. I don't have much going on today.
Why?
I wanted to get help from you as a colleague.
This is a nice scent.
It's nice.
Wood scent?
It's refreshing...
I smell a hint of ocean. It's nice.
The wood scent, citrus...
You're an analyzer, Ma Eum.
The person you're gifting. Do I know this person?
Yes. Well...
My father.
I feel terribly sorry toward my dad and I have a lot to thank him for as well.
I don't think I should keep it in much longer.
This smells very nice.
Thanks for coming here with me.
I feel a little bit more courageous.
So, you do get afraid, too.
Of course, I get afraid.
But I still go for it.
Convey your ma-eum* to him. (Ma Eum means heart in Korean)
Okay.
Fighting!
Let's go!
What are you doing?
Why do you throw your weight forward? Are you fighting a cow?
It's your left side.
Go in like this and turn left. Like this.
And push your left in like this...
Great!
Good job! See? That worked!
- Thank you! - Sure.
- Dad. - Good job!
Thank you!
What's going on?
Why did you come here?
Just because...
What's up? I can't believe you came to see me first.
What do you mean?
I was just wondering how you were doing lately.
We didn't really run into each other at home, you know.
That's because you were avoiding me.
Did it show?
A lot.
Thanks, Dad.
Gross. What's this out of the blue?
Just because...
Out of the blue,
I realized you held your place reliably as the head of our household.
I think I took that for granted.
But it's a tough thing to do in reality.
Wow, did my daughter mature now that she's working and making money?
I guess so.
I know I was your dream, Dad.
I wanted to fulfill that dream for you.
I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill it for you.
Here.
What's this?
I wanted to win an Olympic medal and give you a grand gift.
But I can't do that anymore.
I didn't get you anything when I got my first paycheck.
I didn't give up on you yet.
So, don't say you're sorry.
- Dad- - Later on...
there will come a day when you'll be much more grateful to me.
For not giving up on you so quickly.
Can you give that to me?
How did you come here, Jun Yeong?
That gift give it to me.
- Hey, PD Kwon. - Hyungnim.
What brings you here?
I have to take care of something at the HR office.
Really? See you later then.
Hyungnim.
Huh?
I heard that YoungToon's next Editor-in-Chief will get an amazing offer.
Wow, good enough to spread rumors?
Bastards, tell them to contact me, man.
Hyungnim.
What?
I guess you haven't heard who's being discussed as a candidate.
Who is it?
We're considering doubling your current salary, at least.
We'll give you stock options as well.

They're contacting Ji Hyeong.
I don't think Ji Hyeong will have an easy time turning them down this time.

The chance of becoming an editor-in-chief doesn't come by easily, does it?
I'm seriously looking deep into my heart.
That's what I want to see.
It's him. The moron who caused Ae Ri's death.
You just think about yourself. Just think about yourself all the way.
Perhaps, this is the last chance you can restore things.
