(Episode 25)
I will let the world know.
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.
There's nothing that can beat a desperate desire.
One day, the world will recognize...
your sincerity.
What are you doing here?
Oh, don't tell me you heard everything I said.
Well, yes.
I heard everything.
By any chance...
Well...
I hope you don't think I'm a weirdo.
I was just copying some weird woman.
Oh.
A weird woman?
Yes, my sister told me...
she saw a woman making a wish under this streetlamp.
She said she looked really desperate...
and that the image would forever be ingrained in her mind.
Okay, so?
Well, so...
Right, my sister told me what that woman said,
so I was just trying to channel her.
As you know,
I'm a film director.
Right, I see.
I mean, she's such a character.
Making a wish in the middle of a park. How lame.
What a weirdo, right?
She'll be a perfect character to include in the script.
Right.
All right, then. Keep channeling that weird woman.
Keep it up.
No wonder.
Why are you leaving already?
It's fun. Why don't you join me?
Gosh, that was so embarrassing.
What was I mumbling about?
I knew it.
He'd never comfort or try to be there for anyone.
Words like "sincerity" and "desperate" do not suit him.
Hey, Eun Sung!
Dad!
Were you making deliveries?
Yes.
Hey, what are you doing here?
I come here often for a walk.
I got off the bus a few stops early.
I see. Oh, right.
Here.
It's lisianthus.
Why did you buy these flowers?
Today was your first day at work.
This flower means, "Rooting for you and your new beginning."
I'm rooting for you and your new beginning, Eun Sung.
Thanks, Dad.
My gosh. They smell so good.
What if Mom yells at you though?
Mom hates it when you buy flowers.
Right, so I was wondering how I'd give you the flowers,
but I ran into you here.
Did you have dinner?
No, I'll have something at home.
How about I take you out for your favorite noodles?
My gosh, noodles?
But you're making deliveries now, Dad.
Mom will tell you to rush back to the restaurant.
Well...
I'll just say the customer wasn't at home,
so I had to wait a few minutes. Hop on.
Then...
I feel a little guilty when I think of Mom,
but shall I have a quick date with Mr. Yoo Dong Gu?
Yes, sounds good.
(Menu)
It's so good.
Maybe it's because we haven't had this in a while.
It's extra tasty today.
So how was work?
Wasn't it stressful? I mean, it was your first day.
No, I like everyone on my team. They're all so nice.
And now that I have seen the office, I know how big the company is.
I think I'll have fun working there.
I was really worried,
so I'm relieved to see you looking chipper.
Why? Were you worried I wouldn't be able to pull it off?
No, it's not that.
You've been busy pursuing a career in acting,
which is very different from working in an office.
And it's not a permanent position,
so I was worried you might be intimidated.
Come on. My teammates would never look down on me like that.
Like I said, they're all so nice.
Also, I can do a good job working as a member of the team.
It's not like I've never done it before.
I'm glad to hear you feel confident.
Dad, don't tell me...
you're disappointed because it's a temporary position.
Hey, why would I be disappointed in you?
I'm so proud of you, Eun Sung.
You have the courage to pause and take a detour...
for the sake of your dream.
Here.
Congratulations on embarking on the second chapter of your life.
Here's to your bright future full of only good things.
- Cheers! - Cheers!
Thanks, Dad.
Of course, I'll face some hurdles and obstacles,
but I'll bravely overcome them and keep going...
so I won't end up regretting my choice later on.
Oh, my.
My daughter is so cool!
Gosh, Dad!
She's so cool! My goodness.
All right, everyone. This is all on me!
Dad, Mom will yell at you.
Oh, that's right.
Did you meet the director?
You said he was a talented director from Hollywood.
You were excited to meet him.
Yes.
I did meet him,
but he's very different from what I'd expected.
How so?
Well, how should I put this?
He comes across as frivolous but is serious.
He does have a frivolous side though.
Could Ms. Yoo be the woman who was making a wish that night?
Otherwise, how could she tell me...
exactly what I said to that woman?
What are you mumbling to yourself about?
Oh, something strange happened.
Something strange?
A while ago, I said some comforting words to a woman...
who seemed to be in need of them.
Today, a different woman said the same thing to me.
It was exactly the same.
What did you say?
Was it a catchphrase going around on the Internet...
or a cliched remark anyone could make?
It wasn't a catchphrase going around on the Internet,
but it wasn't that creative or unique.
Then I'm sure it was just a coincidence.
I mean, how creative could you be with your words?
But how could she say the exact same thing?
Then what? Are you saying the two women could be the same person?
Are they doppelgangers or twins?
No, it's not that.
They have different jobs and pasts.
I was wondering what the big deal was.
You have no interest in others.
I'm surprised you comforted someone.
She's right.
I rarely say stuff like that to others.
Anyway, those were my own words. Why do I feel comforted?
I mean, it's nothing new.
The moment Ms. Yoo showed up while saying that,
my heart felt warm.
("Hidden Memory," Written and Directed by Kang Sun Woo)
Whether he was copying someone or not,
he seemed really desperate.
Just like me, when I was waiting...
to find out whether or not I got the role.
Director Kang, I hope your desperate wish...
comes true.
("Hidden Memory," Written and Directed by Kang Sun Woo)
I'm talking about the show host.
Isn't she a perfect match for Min Guk?
Hello, everyone. I'm Yoo Sa Ra at Number One Home Shopping.
What I want to introduce to you today...
is this skincare line.
- Jin Sil. - Your skin is...
My gosh. Yes.
Why the startle? What's on your screen?
Oh, nothing. I was watching the shopping channel.
I want to get some mackerel.
I see.
Where's Ga Ram?
He's brushing his teeth.
Hey.
You know, the show host...
Ga Ram had a squabble with. What's she like?
Well... I've only met her once, so I'm not sure.
Why do you ask?
What? Oh, I was just curious.
Ga Ram keeps talking about her.
Is she pretty?
She looks like a nice lady on her show.
Mom, did you look her up?
What? No.
Ga Ram showed me the other day, you know.
Right. Well, she is pretty.
These days, it's really competitive to become a show host.
You have to be very pretty and well-spoken,
or you won't even get a chance.
I see. So you think she's pretty too.
Then if you see her again,
why don't you ask her to have a cup of tea with you?
Tea? Come on. That's so random.
Hey, we own a cafe.
We can do that much for her.
After all, Ga Ram wronged her twice.
All right. If she's up for it,
I'll totally treat her.
Be sure to bring her to the cafe if you meet her again.
I'll make her a delicious cup of coffee.
All right.
Gosh, my daughter-in-law.
You look so happy this morning.
Father.
I just asked Min Guk about that show host lady.
I don't think he's uninterested in her.
- Really? - Yes.
He thinks she's pretty too.
So I suggested he have a cup of tea with her,
and he said yes.
My, that is a great sign.
I told you. Min Guk is the PNE type.
Yes, he is the FLS type.
What? "FLS?" What's that?
Men who fall in love slowly.
After we talked, I did my research on the Internet.
There are so many witty acronyms these days.
"FLS?" That's new.
My, I only took a quick break,
and I'm already falling behind the trends.
Eun Sung, how was work yesterday?
You got home late, so I didn't even get to see you.
It was great.
I was a little nervous as it was my first day.
But I like the vibe in the office, and my manager is nice.
I think I made the right decision to work at the company.
- I see. - I see.
Did you say the company was called Heuk Film?
They don't make weird stuff, do they?
Illegal videos, for example.
Hey, what are you saying?
Why would Eun Sung work for such a company?
She said her friend recommended her for the position.
Well, there are so many companies doing weird things these days,
so I was just worried about Eun Sung.
Goodness. Excessive worrying is a disease.
Your job is making you suspect everyone and everything.
As they say, you can never be too careful.
There's nothing wrong with checking things and taking precautions.
Your dad said you told him that the director...
was very different from what you'd expected.
Is the director a total jerk?
No, it's not that.
He's much younger than I expected.
From his looks to his vibe,
everything about him is so different from what I'd imagined.
What does he look like?
I couldn't find his photos online, so I thought he might be ugly.
No, it's certainly not because he's ugly.
I just think he wants to avoid media exposure.
But why?
Mystery is no longer fashionable among celebrities these days.
I'm not sure. But he's not an actor, so it's understandable.
I hear many creative people tend to be recluses.
Oh, my. This looks delicious.
Auntie Jung Sook, what's with that outfit?
Is it the pink-core look that's popular these days?
"Pink?"
My gosh. Are you saying I look lovely like a princess?
She was already out there.
Now, she has crossed the point of no return.
No one can even try...
to knock some sense into her now.
Hey, you're young. Why are you so old-fashioned?
Who cares about what makes sense when it comes to fashion?
Your beauty and unique charms are the only things that matter.
Right, Ki Seok?
Doesn't this suit me so well?
I bought this with the money you gave me.
What? Yes, of course.
If you want to show off your unique charms,
you sure can't find a better outfit than this.
Although, I'm not sure if I can say it's beautiful.
She didn't even go home yesterday because she wanted to show you this.
She was worried she'd miss you if you went to work early.
She was so excited.
My gosh. Really?
I guess you had to wake up early to get dolled up like this.
It's fine. It's no big deal.
Hey, shouldn't you apologize to me first?
You didn't hire me on purpose.
We followed our recruitment process and hired the employee.
Why should I apologize?
My goodness. You're colder than the glaciers in the Antarctic.
If it weren't for your father,
I wouldn't even be talking to you now.
As if that'd scare him.
If you want Kim Soo Hyun and Lee Jun Ho's autographs,
just accept that you didn't get the job and eat your food.
Hey, about the employee you hired instead of me.
Is she pretty? Is she slimmer than I am?
We weren't hiring an actress, so why does that matter?
And these days, it's frowned upon to judge others by their looks.
Goodness. He's no fun.
Wait.
Oh.
Well, I couldn't ask you yesterday because you took me by surprise.
Where do you live?
Where do I live? Why do you ask?
I'm just curious.
We're colleagues. Can't you tell me where you live?
"Colleagues?"
If we aren't colleagues, what are we?
I live in Inja-dong.
Inja-dong?
Oh, that's just north of where I live.
No wonder I ran into you in that park.
I live near the park too.
Oh, I wasn't even curious.
What?
I was not even curious.
What's with her? Why is she so cold to me?
My gosh. What if people saw that?
Especially our teammates.
- What? What would we see? - My gosh!
Ms. Shin.
I'm sorry.
Did I startle you?
I'd dropped my wallet.
I see.
Anyway, what's the thing you didn't want people to see?
Oh, it's nothing. I was just talking to myself.
All right. You don't need to tell me if you don't want to.
- Do you want some coffee? - Yes, sure.
You must still feel flustered.
You don't know anyone and aren't used to the tasks yet.
Right, yes.
Everyone struggles at the beginning.
Take your time and learn things step by step.
Don't be too nervous.
Thank you.
Right. You've read the script, right?
What did you think of it?
My gosh. I thought it was amazing.
The surprising twist was totally unexpected.
I lost track of time while reading it.
I was completely immersed in it.
Even after reading it a few times, it was still so good.
Really? I'm glad to hear that.
What will it be like as a movie?
I'm so curious and can't wait to see it.
Right? I can't wait either.
Director Kang has left for the day to take care of some things.
I have a meeting with an investor,
so I won't be coming back to the office.
I see. Got it.
We'll have a team meeting tomorrow.
Can you back up these files?
Sure.
Due to the system changeover,
they're backing up all the internal files,
but some got left out.
Everything must be backed up by the end of the day.
Please take care of it before then.
Okay, no problem.
(Haha Chicken)
Hello.
- Oh, hello. - I guess you had to go somewhere.
Yes, the dry cleaner's by the intersection.
Their son got married recently, you know.
I was busy, so I sent a cash gift and couldn't attend the wedding.
But they gave me this thank-you gift.
My gosh, flower cakes. How pretty.
Do you like flower cakes?
Why don't we eat them together if you're free now?
My husband went to the market to pick up some supplies,
so he'll take a while.
Oh, shall we do that? Coffee is on me though.
Sounds good.
(Haha Chicken)
It's not too sweet. It's so good.
They all taste the same once they're in your mouth.
Why decorate them like this, with flowers and all?
This must be a lot of work.
They say, "What looks good tastes good too."
Seeing these pretty flower cakes lifts your spirits.
Does seeing these things put you in a good mood?
You're still like a girl.
Pardon me? A girl?
You know what I mean.
Who cares if we're pretty or not at this age?
We've been through it all.
What do you mean we've been through it all?
My father-in-law says I'm still so young.
That's because he thinks he'll live to be 150.
- That's why he's saying that. - What?
He feels like he's still in his 20s.
That's why he got a divorce.
Pardon me? My father-in-law didn't get a divorce.
My mother-in-law is visiting her sister at the moment.
Come on. Don't lie to me.
We're neighbors.
I heard everything the other day.
He went on a blind date,
but the lady flat out rejected him.
My gosh. No, he was not rejected.
Ms. Chu wasn't his cup of tea,
so he didn't even want to have a meal with her.
Right, so he got a divorce.
If he's going on blind dates when he's not divorced,
then is he cheating?
What? "Cheating?"
My gosh.
I can't believe this.
I shouldn't have had coffee with her.
I rarely talk to that woman.
Why did I talk to her today? My goodness.
Jin Sil, what's the matter?
You stepped out looking excited,
saying you'd have flower cakes.
Gosh, don't get me started. That lady is a nutcase.
What? "Nutcase?"
Mom, I've never seen you use such words.
Everyone uses it. Why can't I?
She's incredibly obnoxious and inconsiderate.
My daughter-in-law rarely loses her poise.
I see that you're fuming mad.
That lady must've done something very wrong.
What did she say?
Did she say something that got on your nerves?
The thing is...
Anyway, try not to even converse with that woman.
Watch what you say in front of her.
Especially when you're on the phone!
Don't even talk on the phone in front of her shop.
What? Don't talk on the phone?
That's right, Father! That woman overheard your phone conversations.
Even the one you had with Mr. Im the other day.
What? So she told you everything she heard?
The truth behind my blind date?
Yes, Father!
That woman!
How old is she?
Who is she to reveal my secret without my permission?
What's this?
The whistle they made recently for promotional purposes.
They sent a few extras for us too.
I see.
Everything looks so neat these days, with such a wide variety of designs.
Hey, we have more. Why don't you give one to that woman?
"Woman?" Who?
Your neighbor.
You staked out in front of the entrance to protect her.
Goodness. I told you that wasn't the case.
I said I was just doing my job and duty as a police officer.
Right. So as a police officer, you can give her a whistle.
I must say, she's quite brave.
She shot out her foot to trip up a criminal running toward her.
What?
We need to find another advisor? Why?
Detective Choi has been transferred to Icheon,
so he can't act as our advisor anymore.
Gosh, really?
Didn't he say he'd find his successor for us?
I think he's looking for someone but is having a hard time.
Cops are very busy. Especially those in the Violent Crimes Unit.
Director Hwang's movie may look like a sports drama,
but it's actually a crime thriller,
so we need to find an advisor at once.
But we can't seek advice from someone with no experience.
If only I knew a police detective.
There's a cop I know. He's in the Violent Crimes Unit too.
What? Then could you ask him to be our advisor?
The thing is, I've been rude to him.
Who cares?
It'd be easier to reach out to him since you know him.
I'm not sure about that. I was quite rude to him.
Will I not run into him today?
Yes, they called you?
I see. Then we should interview him.
Gosh, it'd hurt my pride to initiate a conversation with him.
Yes. All right. Talk soon. Okay.
Hi, Jae Soon.
I'm at a convenience store near my house.
What?
Really? When I get to work tomorrow...
How could you be getting a call when you're already on the phone?
You should answer it.
I'm so embarrassed right now.
I need to talk to you,
but we'll talk another time!
My goodness. Why...
Why is she running away if she needs to talk to me?
Right, the whistle. My goodness.
Why? Why did my phone have to ring at that moment?
Gosh, who is it?
Ha Young, a new macaron shop opened in front of the office.
- Let's check it out together. - Lee Yoon A, darn you.
I've downloaded all the movie files...
Ms. Shin told me to back up.
My, this is such a huge perk...
about working at a film production company.
There are so many films I couldn't find in the past...
on top of all these old-school classics.
(Cheong Film, Movie Archive)
My gosh. I've really wanted to watch this.
Oh, my.
Hello, Team "Hidden Memory." This is Yoo Eun Sung.
Hello, Ms. Yoo. You're still in the office.
Yes, I wanted to familiarize myself with the tasks.
How may I help you?
I see. You need the floor plan for the set on Director Kang's desk?
Okay. I'll check now and call you right back.
Sure.
Oh, is he still here?
(Director Kang Sun Woo)
What?
Did he forget to turn off the lights?
I should find the floor plan quickly and leave.
Where could it be?
Is it here?
My gosh.
What?
"Libel." It's like defamation.
"Complainant, Ed Williams." "Accused?"
"Kang Sun Woo?"
I came to the office for a moment.
When I was about to wash up,
I noticed the bracelet I bought last week was gone.
I swear, I was wearing it when I came to work this morning.
It was expensive. But more importantly, it's a limited edition.
All right.
Oh? Is Ms. Yoo still here?
Isn't Ed Williams someone famous?
I mean, I recognize the name.
Anyway, why did this person sue Director Kang?
My gosh.
Who said you could go through my documents?
Oh, I came in here to look for the floor plan.
Is Director Kang still here?
My gosh!
Director Kang.
Ms. Yoo.
(Unpredictable Family)
- My gosh. - Oh, sorry.
Gosh, Ms. Shin.
What are you two doing right now?
- A deadly blow? - Well...
I know the grandfather got a divorce,
but they kept talking nonsense.
So? You think you can find Eun A and Eun Hyuk?
Yes.
Hey, you. Didn't you want to talk to me about something yesterday?
Hold on. Are Ms. Shin and Director Kang close?
What's with that face?
You look like you've been busted.
They believe that Yoo Dong Gu is in Korea now.
What? He's in Korea?
