- Director Kang, you're here. - Yes, good morning.
"Director?"
Hello, I'm Yoo...
What?
My gosh. What are you doing here?
What? What are you doing here?
Do you know each other?
Well...
Director Kang?
Ms. Yoo.
"Director?"
He's the director?
The one from Hollywood?
Yes. What's going on?
- My gosh. - Is she the new hire?
The diligent, passionate hard worker?
Ms. Yoo, why are you all quiet? Say hello to Director Kang.
Oh, yes.
Hello, I'm Yoo Eun Sung.
I'm sorry, but may I quickly use the restroom?
The restroom?
Yes, I really need to go now.
Sure, you can go.
I'm sorry!
What was that about? In the middle of a conversation.
(Stairs)
I can't believe this!
How can he be a film director?
I mean, he seemed to only care about his Shai Lutton jacket.
He seemed like he was living an idle life.
What?
I should've figured it out when I met him there.
Right. I must've run into him twice in this building, not just once...
for a reason.
What do I do?
I've done so many things that must've made him upset.
Are you unemployed?
"Are you..."
Gosh. What time is it now?
What should I do? I shouldn't have gotten cheeky with him.
Should I just act as if nothing happened?
Right. What is he going to do?
He's not the CEO of Cheong Film.
- Gosh! - Gosh, you startled me.
Why would you get so scared?
Have you done something wrong?
It's not like that. You suddenly...
No. I mean, Director Kang, you came in so suddenly,
which startled me. That's all, sir.
Why are you speaking so formally to me all of a sudden?
You can speak to me as you have until now.
This is how I've always spoken to you, sir.
I am a very polite person, sir.
My gosh.
What has gotten into you?
Why did you apply for the admin assistant position?
I'd like to ask you the same question.
Since when were you a film director? That doesn't suit you.
I've been a film director since before I first met you.
I studied filmmaking in the US, starting at the age of 17.
I'm an admin assistant, starting today.
I saw the hiring ad not long ago...
and decided to join Cheong Film.
You said you had quit Blue Moon.
Did you change your career path?
Well... No, that's not the case.
I have my own plan.
If you were planning to get a job like this,
why didn't you tell me so?
Then I wouldn't have said those mean things...
like you had no hope for a better future.
That's okay.
I didn't really listen to your words...
nor did I take those to heart...
I'm sorry.
I'm not used to working with others,
so I still need to learn to filter what I say.
Director Kang.
Can't you just empty your brain?
What do you mean by that?
Why should I empty my brain?
I'm sure our past encounters aren't pleasant memories for you either.
How about we forget everything that happened between us...
and start over with a clean slate?
It's a reset.
What did you say?
Where did they all go?
Could Director Kang have run away...
because he didn't want to work with you?
Oh, my. You two are coming in together.
Did you have a friendly chat in private or something?
Quit your silly jokes.
Now that everyone is here, shall we introduce ourselves?
I'm Shin Ha Young, the manager of the "Hidden Memory" team.
I'm Lee Yoon A.
I'm Kim Jae Jun.
Oh, right. Yes. I'll be working on the team, starting today.
I'm Yoo Eun Sung.
I'm looking forward to working with you all.
All right. We'll get to know each other better while working together.
Director Kang, please say a few words.
Everyone on the team has gathered here for your movie.
"Hidden Memory" is not only my movie,
but it's also yours.
We may go through hard times,
but let's do our best with one goal in mind to create a great movie.
Let's run toward our goal!
How about we do a chant?
Here we go.
Come on.
One, two, three!
- Let's do this! - Let's do this!
We've got this. Let's do this.
Let me do it for you.
Ga Ram.
Why did you say to the show host...
that she looked pretty only because of her makeup...
and that they must've used a filter when filming her?
I mean, to me,
she looked the same as she did on TV.
I won't do that again.
I regretted what I said a lot.
When I saw you...
getting yelled at by her because of me,
I thought I shouldn't let it happen again. I felt sorry for you.
I wasn't yelled at.
And it wasn't your fault.
Even if it was your fault,
I should be held responsible.
Because you are my son.
Since you are my dad,
you are my responsibility.
That's so cool. You're a real man. What a loyal man.
I'm a loyal man.
By the way, she seemed to be a regular at Haha Chicken, right?
Yes, she acted so naturally.
I'm sure she has been there many times before.
Then if I keep an eye on the restaurant,
I could see her again, right?
Why? Do you want to see her again?
Yes. I have a feeling that I'll see her often and become close to her.
What?
A customer at the cafe?
Yes. I don't know what the kid's father does for a living,
but he came out of the cafe in broad daylight.
Maybe he has no job and kills time visiting different cafes.
So you argued with the kid's father as well as the kid...
just because the kid said something that made you upset?
I wouldn't say I argued with him.
I just made sure the kid wouldn't do that again.
The kid must be our neighbor. Why did you do that?
You'll feel awkward around him when you see him again.
Goodness. Then should she let him keep calling her "ma'am"...
like she's an old lady?
Why does what he calls her matter so much?
He didn't know because he was just a little kid.
Then why did you get all riled up when the kid at the cafe...
called you "grandpa?"
But you couldn't say a word to the kid.
You came to me and went on about how clueless the kid was.
My gosh.
That's different. It was nonsense.
I don't look like a grandpa.
I should be called "uncle."
Dad.
Which is more ridiculous?
A six-year-old kid calling me "ma'am"...
or calling you "grandpa?"
You said the kid at the cafe was six too.
Of course, it's more ridiculous that I was called "grandpa."
- Dad! - Honey.
I mean, your case is more ridiculous...
Let's say it's quite the same...
Just keep gutting anchovies.
- Hey, move aside. - No, Father. Please leave it.
I'll tell Min Guk to move these when he's back.
This is good exercise to keep my muscles strong...
and improve my blood circulation.
Besides, Min Guk has to take Ga Ram to kindergarten.
By the way, I heard the show host that Ga Ram was looking for...
didn't accept Ga Ram's apology.
I know. Maybe Ga Ram made a mistake again. Goodness.
By the way,
I think that Ga Ram keeps showing his interest in that young lady...
because he doesn't have a mom.
Do you think so too?
Me too.
At first, I thought he was just curious...
because she was pretty just like all the other kids.
Min Guk has no intention of starting dating again, right?
That's right. I asked him about it not long ago,
but he seemed to have no interest.
Min Guk is the PNE type.
"PNE?"
Yes. It means he pursues a natural encounter when he meets someone.
If we set him up on a blind date,
he would never agree to see her.
He was born the PNE type. It's his destiny.
But we don't have to look anywhere else for a match for him.
He already had a natural encounter with someone.
What? Who is she?
I'm talking about the show host.
Isn't she a perfect match for Min Guk?
It's a list of the filming locations to visit in advance.
Organize the data by area and enter it into a file.
Sure.
This is Shin Ha Young from the "Hidden Memory" team.
(Cheong Film, Planning Producer Shin Ha Young)
Yes, Director Kang.
Ms. Yoo Eun Sung?
Understood.
- Ms. Yoo. - Yes?
Director Kang is asking for you. Go to his office.
Oh, I see. I'll do that.
(Director Kang Sun Woo)
The moment has come at last.
The moment I never wanted to face.
Oh, gosh. I went through hoops to join this company.
I must keep my job no matter what.
Come in.
Did you ask for me, Director Kang?
My script is saved on this. Read the script.
Yes, sir.
I never said you could leave.
(Cheong Film, Director Kang Sun Woo)
Pardon?
We didn't finish our conversation earlier.
In the stairwell.
Did you think I called you here just to give you the script?
I could just send it via email, you know.
Oh, I see. Were you not finished?
I said everything I had to say.
I asked you to empty your brain.
Why do you keep telling me to empty my brain?
Also, why did you keep lying about visiting Cheong Film,
saying you visited the architectural firm?
Well... It wasn't intentional.
I happened to make that up at first, and then I had to keep lying.
All sorts of thoughts ran through my head because I didn't know that.
"Is she visiting some weird place?"
"Is she in some kind of trouble?"
What? Why?
Why do you care where I go and what happens to me?
It's none of your business.
Well, we know each other.
So I was worried. That's all.
Right, we know each other.
So please forget all about me.
You see, I really need this job.
But if you remember me,
I'll feel so uncomfortable.
Do you really want to forget our past?
Yes, totally.
All of it?
Yes. All of it, completely.
Fine. Erase all of it from your memory.
Nothing ever happened,
and we don't know each other.
My gosh. Thank you! Thank you so much, Director Kang.
You're incredibly understanding, Director Kang.
Get back to work.
Familiarize yourself with the script quickly.
Yes. Will do, Director Kang!
"Director Kang!"
Since when did she call me like that?
I'm so relieved.
I was so worried, thinking he might fire me...
because of how I'd acted up in the past.
What? A movie?
Hey, you said you were on a stakeout.
So that was because of a crime movie?
That's right. It was really embarrassing.
I was so embarrassed that I wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.
I mean, who could've known that it was actually a movie?
I thought it was a real person's voice.
I thought some man was threatening her.
So why did you jump the gun and go on a stakeout like that?
I told you to look into it first.
Excuse me. Who was the person that mentioned it could be a crime?
I only said it in passing.
You were the one who became convinced...
and staked out in front of the neighborhood entrance.
My goodness.
Anyway, you two keep crossing paths in such absurd situations.
Once, she thought you were a serial killer.
This time, you thought she'd fallen victim to a crime.
I shall call you two the Crime Couple.
What? "Crime Couple?"
If others heard that, they'd assume we did something bad.
Anyway, are you interested in that woman?
Why are you so keen on keeping her safe?
Hey, would you do nothing if you spotted a crime victim?
You'll do nothing to protect them?
Is that so?
From now on, consider handing them over...
to a patrol division in the area or the police's emergency service.
If you keep stepping in like this,
this lady will think that you like her.
What nonsense!
You see, I'm just trying...
to do my job and duty as a police officer.
Let go!
Let go.
- Come on. - I said, let go!
What is the unique selling point of this film...
that it drew ten million viewers?
No, I don't want to.
- I can't figure it out. - Let me go. I said no.
Over my dead body!
Shut your mouth, or I will hurt you.
No, you got the wrong idea.
I did reach out to the police for help,
but it wasn't crime-related.
You're sure, right?
Are you sure no one is threatening you?
Is someone watching us now?
Don't tell me this is all an act.
An act? What on earth are you talking about?
Why would I put on an act?
I have a cop right in front of me, so I have nothing to be scared of.
I can trust you, right?
Gosh, you totally had the wrong idea.
You wasted your time for nothing.
How would you catch real criminals if you kept this up?
I wouldn't call this nothing.
And I really don't think...
running here was a waste of time.
I admit that I had the wrong idea.
But...
even if I'm wrong 99 times, I'll keep making my guesses...
for the one time that I'll prove to be right.
No matter what anyone says,
I'll run to where you are, as I did today.
What is this about, all of a sudden?
I became a cop, knowing I'd have to deal with this.
One out of a hundred...
No. Even if something happens to one person out of a million people,
it's a 100-percent chance to that person.
That person's life will change forever,
and it'll be hard to change it back to the way it used to be.
I never said anything about that.
I was just...
As a police officer,
I can't keep telling myself, "It can't be. It'll be fine."
Such an indifferent, complacent attitude...
can get citizens hurt.
That's why I was worried.
Gosh, is he just dumb? Or does he have strong work ethics?
No, should I say he's brave and righteous?
Who is "brave and righteous?"
Ms. Shin, is something the matter?
No, don't mind me.
It's about someone I know.
I was suddenly reminded of him.
Ms. Shin, by any chance...
Did you go on a blind date?
Are you falling in love right now?
No, I doubt that. There's someone she likes,
so she'd never go on a blind date.
She's busy eyeing him every day,
so she has no time for anyone else.
Ms. Lee Yoon A, we're supposed to be working now.
And isn't it inappropriate for you to address me so casually?
Well understood, Ms. Shin.
I'll keep my mouth shut,
but I'm suddenly craving macarons.
I need to eat some macarons to keep my lips sealed.
Macarons? Shall I step out and pick some up?
Don't worry. Ms. Shin is in charge of picking up macarons for me.
Right, Ms. Shin?
You and your darn macarons. That little...
(CEO Kang Ki Seok)
Yes.
(KS Foodville)
Honey, you're here.
Where's Jung Sook?
She came all the way here but said she didn't want to come in.
She said you hated her. She won't even budge.
Goodness. Okay, so? Where is she now?
Ki Seok.
My gosh, Jung Sook. I'm so glad you're here.
Come on in and take a seat.
My goodness. You came all the way here anyway.
You can't leave without seeing me.
If you did that, I'd be so hurt.
Jung Sook.
You must've been really upset because of me.
You didn't get the job at Cheong Film and came here,
but I said something so mean.
Ki Seok, I was really hurt.
You know that I'm very fond of you.
I trust and admire you more...
than my own sister.
Yes. I know that, of course.
But when it comes to the company, it's different.
I know I'm the CEO of the company,
but there aren't many things I can decide on my own.
I have to consult the board and the shareholders.
I always have to tiptoe around them.
That's right.
If you join the company as his secretary,
everyone will say you used your connections.
Then you'll be an outcast at work,
and Ki Seok will end up in a pickle.
Ki Seok did it for your own sake.
He knows you're a delicate soul and didn't want you to get hurt.
Then why didn't you tell me all this that day?
Why did you have to talk as though I couldn't even tell...
the differences among coffee, black tea, cola, and other soft drinks?
Gosh, I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I was too mean, wasn't I?
Well, I should do something to lift my sister-in-law's spirits.
What shall I do?
Jung Sook, take that...
and buy everything you want.
Oh, my goodness.
My gosh. This feels like a lot of money.
Oh, my. Ki Seok.
This is a lot of money. Are you sure I can take this?
You're so generous.
My gosh, what should I do? I might get a heart attack.
It's been a while since I last touched such a large amount of cash.
- My goodness. - Well done.
Ki Seok is so generous.
I bet he was a generous hero in his previous life.
What? What's she saying?
Why is she suddenly calling Dad a hero?
What is all this?
Did you rob a bank or something?
Or did you embezzle a company fund?
I need to be employed to embezzle a company fund.
Why could I embezzle anything when I'm unemployed?
Your father, the CEO of the great KS Foodville,
kindly bestowed his grace upon me.
Dad bestowed his grace upon you? What is he, a king?
Just yesterday, you said Dad was so coldhearted and ruthless.
Well, that was yesterday. Today is different.
People always change. Like birds that change color.
Just leave her be.
She hasn't been in her right mind for a while.
Let her be a color-changing bird or a chameleon. I don't care.
My gosh. This will look so good on me.
How pretty.
What? You'll wear these?
Yes. They'll look so good on me, right?
I'll look really cute and sexy.
Auntie Jung Sook, both Cheong Film and KS Foodville...
didn't hire you. Didn't that teach you a lesson?
Please don't challenge yourself like this, and know your place.
Even I can't pull off these clothes.
You can't pull them off, but I can.
I'll be honest. I know you're younger than me,
but I'm way prettier than you.
If we go out together,
everyone will think we're friends.
Mom.
Has Auntie Jung Sook always been like this?
Or did she experience some kind of shock?
How would I know?
All I know is that she's never been normal.
Good work, everyone.
- Well done. - Good work.
Ms. Yoo, aren't you leaving for the day too?
Oh, I want to read the script.
All right, then.
Let's get going without her.
Now that work is over, can I call you by your first name?
Ha Young, I want some macarons.
I'll buy you a whole box of them.
Have them at home.
Oh, yes. I'm so excited.
Hey, get me a box of 12 macarons.
- See you tomorrow. - See you.
I want some macarons too.
Get home safely.
I guess I really am working at Cheong Film now.
This is where I'm going to grow my dream.
The place that will help me grow and guide me.
("Hidden Memory" Team)
Is someone still in the office?
Since it was hard for me to decide to work here,
I'll learn everything I can learn here.
Even if it's painful and brings me down,
I shall keep moving forward.
All right. Let's read the script first.
Here we go.
"In the classroom."
Even if it's painful and brings me down,
I shall keep moving forward.
(2 years earlier, the US)
It's tough, but I should keep moving forward.
It wasn't easy for me to make it this far.
I worked so hard to get this opportunity.
Yes.
I think I can finally make my own movies with no worries.
Problem?
What kind of problem can that be?
I am the one...
who is holding her life and death.
Why did the filming schedule change?
And the staff payroll has been drastically cut.
I don't know.
I just did what the boss told me.
What do you mean by "not enough budget?"
I heard that there were plenty of investments.
Usually, there are unexpected variables in film production.
This is a place where big money comes and goes.
Interests are intertwined,
and desires overflow.
Is that also the reason why...
you can change the casting anytime...
just because we don't follow your order?
Just for your desires and unexpected changes?
What do you mean?
It's just as I expected.
The contract has been cancelled.
The film production company's CEO sued you for defamation.
What did you say?
He filed both civil and criminal lawsuits.
I think he's trying to oust you from Hollywood once and for all.
Of course.
A mere foreigner rebelled against him.
So he must be furious.
He must've thought I would give in in the end.
The problem is...
that all the witnesses turned to his side.
Even Jennifer, whom you helped out,
stated that you had spread false information.
Jennifer really did that?
After all the things the CEO has done to her?
It seems that the CEO bribed her.
Things are not working in your favor.
The CEO won everyone over somehow.
They all turned their backs on you.
All of them?
Is no one on my side?
I don't know when it started, but this park...
became a place of comfort to me.
My name is...
Kang Sun Woo.
I'm the director of "Hidden Memory."
In my home country, I'm starting my life anew.
And my filmmaking career.
I want to do a great job.
I will...
let the world know.
Could he be...
Was it Kang Sun Woo?
That my choice wasn't wrong.
And that I can create a great movie...
without compromising my integrity.
If you're that desperate,
your wish will come true.
Whatever you wish for.
What are you doing here?
Eun Sung, how was work yesterday?
Is the director a total jerk?
I think I made the right decision to work at the company.
We need to find another advisor?
We're looking for one now,
but it seems hard to do so.
Is the employee you hired instead of me pretty?
Hey, wait.
The moment Ms. Yoo showed up while saying that,
my heart felt warm.
By the way, what is this regarding?
Kang Sun Woo?
