(Episode 81)
Please, Ms. Shin.
Get Yoo Eun Sung...
off the cast of Sun Woo's movie.
Use any means necessary.
I understand what you want,
but Ms. Yoo was cast through an open audition.
It's not easy to remove someone like that from the cast.
I know it's not easy which is why I'm asking you.
If it was easy, I'd do it myself.
Why would I ask you?
It's embarrassing to talk about.
Even still...
Mother, this issue...
Please. I'm begging you, Ms. Shin.
I can't stand...
seeing Yoo Eun Sung next to Sun Woo.
Please.
I'm going to separate them no matter what.
I won't let them stay together.
What about you?
Don't you feel bad after releasing a promotional article like this?
So what?
Are you telling me to rewrite my article or something?
You should!
You should write it again and again...
until the world knows the truth.
Watch your mouth!
Hey,
Yang Ju Ri.
What are you doing right now?
What do you mean?
I'm practicing my scene.
You're Ye Won,
and I'm Mi Sun.
Why are you reacting more than what's in the script?
This wasn't in the script.
Do you only act according to the script?
Based on the way I interpreted my emotions in this scene,
I should do more than just slap you!
- What? - Why?
Do you want me to do it again?
That's enough, Ms. Yang.
I wasn't going to interfere, but this is a bit much.
Even if it's acting.
Oh, Ms. Shim.
If one of the actors gets hurt,
it can negatively impact the entire movie.
This isn't enough to hurt her, Ms. Shin.
How would you know?
Also, if an actress scars her face before the movie starts filming,
it puts me in a difficult position.
Getting into character and interpreting the script properly...
is a part of being a good actor.
How dare she act better than me?
What does a producer know about acting?
Darn it.
Ms. Shin.
Thank you.
For what?
For taking care of me in various ways.
I didn't take care of you in any way.
I mean everything...
including what you did for us as a company and as a producer.
Thank you for giving us a practice studio too.
Then...
Wait.
Do you want to grab some tea with me?
Did anything difficult happen in the practice studio?
No, not really.
Every day is fun...
when I'm practicing.
I've become a real actress.
It's not like I'm practicing alone thinking that one day...
I'll become an actress.
You're right. You're a real actress now.
You started by auditioning for Director Hwang's movie,
then you were a part of the "Hidden Memory" team,
and now you're a real actress.
It took a lot for me to get here.
I'm grateful to you too.
I know that you and I...
have had a strained relationship.
But regardless, I learned a lot from being on your team.
And all of those things became the nourishment...
that helped me get the part during the audition.
Do you really feel that way?
Yes, of course.
There's no reason for me to make things up now.
You really know how to embarrass someone.
You don't have to be grateful for everything.
I'm not grateful for everything.
That's why I still feel uncomfortable around you.
But even still, I'm grateful.
What brings you here out of the blue?
Is it because of your siblings?
Today's my day off, so I had time.
I'm here for both.
If you have something to say, go ahead.
Tell me comfortably.
When you decided to come here,
I'm sure you had your reason.
Mom.
Do you really think Sun Woo and Eun Sung shouldn't be together?
What about you?
Do you think they can?
Do you think...
they should stay together?
No not really, but...
You're your father's daughter,
but you're also Yoo Eun Sung's sister.
So I know this puts you in a difficult position.
But...
Fine.
I'll be completely honest with you.
Yes, please.
I refuse...
to accept Yoo Eun Sung.
Being your dad's daughter is the biggest reason,
but I never liked her to begin with.
I've told you once before,
but I don't think she's good enough...
to be Sun Woo's match.
Mom.
Eun Sung is really diligent and kind.
That's from the perspective of her older sister.
But from the perspective of a mom...
looking at her as her son's boyfriend or wife,
it's a different story.
Imagine if you weren't her sister,
and you were only Sun Woo's sister.
Do you think you would be satisfied with Yoo Eun Sung?
I'm sorry, Mom.
I understand where you're coming from,
but it's hard for me to hear that.
I guess I'm Eun Sung's sister more than I'm Sun Woo's sister.
Hearing you criticize and judge Eun Sung...
is making me feel uncomfortable.
Right. That's why I'm saying they can't be together.
Everyone in the family has a different perspective,
so what will happen to them?
If they get married,
how will we get along as in-laws,
and what will you guys do?
Will Eun Sung or Sun Woo...
cut ties with one of us...
and only stay close to one side of the family?
Would that be possible?
That's a harder issue.
So? What's your conclusion?
Doing what our parents want.
Although I do feel bad for Sun Woo and Eun Sung.
Does it seem impossible after talking to our biological mom?
Yes.
Let's say they overcome this and manage to stay together.
I don't think they'll be happy.
Not unless they cut ties with both families.
Is our biological mom being obstinate?
Yes. She said she never liked Eun Sung from the beginning.
She held herself back as best as she could in front of me,
but I could sense how much she disliked Eun Sung.
So imagine how she would treat Eun Sung.
And how Eun Sung would feel around Mom.
So that's the case...
It's the difference in their external circumstances.
A while back, before I knew Sun Woo's girlfriend was Eun Sung,
I met our biological mom,
and she expressed a lot of hatred towards Eun Sung.
She said she was so stressed out because of her...
and that she'd do whatever it takes to separate them.
If you heard her then...
On top of that, there's the issue with our parents.
They've passed the point of no return.
Neither of our parents seemed like they would back down,
let alone reconcile.
They divorced as enemies.
Of course, they wouldn't reconcile.
We'll be lucky if they don't hate each other even more.
But why did our parents...
become enemies,
and why do they hate each other so much...
even after 30 years?
Do you think something happened that we don't know about?
Well...
Even if something happened, there's no need for us to know.
In any case, Eun Sung and Sun Woo can't stay together.
If they keep going, they'll only get hurt.
Especially Eun Sung.
Then do you think we should try to talk to them?
You never know,
they might listen to us better than our parents.
- Here you go. - Thanks.
Are you the auntie who moved into the room at the chicken place?
I'm Shin Min Guk.
I'm his grandson.
I see. I saw you briefly yesterday too.
I'm Sim Jung Sook.
Don't worry, Jung Sook.
He's more prudent and taciturn than he looks.
I already told him...
not to tell anyone about your story.
I see. Thank you, sir.
And the chicken restaurant opens late in the afternoon,
so don't worry.
Also, there's someone coming here...
to meet you.
What?
What? To see me?
I'm sure it's not Chun Young.
Who is it?
- What? - Gosh.
- Aunt Jung Sook! - Goodness.
Sun Ju! What brings you here?
I should be asking you what you're doing here.
- Well... - You know each other?
So you fell for a lease scam and a rental scam?
But more than that, because Mom cut ties with you?
Yes. I...
did something really terrible.
I had no idea,
and I wondered why you stopped coming over.
I asked Mom, but she wouldn't tell me,
so I just assumed you guys got into a fight.
I was totally distracted because I just found out...
I had another older brother and sister,
so I just let it go.
I didn't have the courage to call you or Sun Woo,
so I couldn't call you guys either.
I was also really embarrassed to see you guys too.
But Aunt Jung Sook, even if you were immature,
how could you do that?
How could you separate a parent from their kids...
for 30 years because of money and a man?
I committed a grave sin.
I did something I can never be forgiven for.
But I didn't know what I did back that was wrong.
When I came to my senses later,
I realized what a terrible thing I had done.
But after you did, you were too scared to tell anyone?
Because you were afraid my mom would cut ties with you?
Yes, exactly.
Whenever I saw your mom,
I couldn't bring myself to tell her.
Regardless of what you did in the past,
it's really upsetting to see you living like this.
Well...
I mean, what will my mom do if she finds out?
It's not like she can kill her one and only little sister.
Sun Ju, please do me a favor...
and don't tell the family that I moved in here.
It's the back room of the chicken restaurant,
and I'm going to move out once I save up enough money.
Okay. I'm nothing but loyal.
I might be crazy,
but I know when it's not my place.
Thank you, Sun Ju. You're the best.
Come over whenever you want...
and tell me about what's going on with the family too. Okay?
Okay.
Director Kang.
We've finished adjusting the actors' schedules...
based on the filming locations.
Thank you. Good job.
We're almost done resolving all the issues for the shoot.
Are you satisfied with the cast?
Yes. Since I participated in it,
I'm satisfied for now.
I'm sure Ms. Yoo is your favorite.
I'm not sure.
Saying who my favorite is...
doesn't seem fair to the other actors.
I'm very happy to be able to work with actors...
who are as enthusiastic as Ms. Yoo.
Right. If that's so, you must work with her until the end.
Of course.
Ms. Yoo wants "Hidden Memory" to do well...
as much as you do, Ms. Shin.
Am I wrong?
Isn't that why you worked so hard until now?
Despite how uncomfortable things were for us personally,
you didn't quit...
and worked hard to make a great movie.
Well... I guess that's true.
Honestly, if you hadn't shown how passionate you were,
I could've asked Mr. Kim to change the producer.
But to me, you were the best producer.
There were some difficulties...
and disappointments,
but when it comes to work, you're pure.
So I'm trusting in that.
What was that?
Did he plan that with Eun Sung?
Why are they saying the same thing?
It's not like I'd be moved by that.
The fact that they completely hid it!
(Cheong Film, Manager Shin Ha Young)
What are you watching?
I see.
Is that Ms. Yoo's audition video?
Yes.
I'm not saying this because she was one of us,
but Ms. Yoo's acting really sucks you in.
I agree. It's not just her acting.
Her image is also perfect for the part of Ye Won.
Why are you watching her audition video?
She already got cast.
Well...
I didn't get to judge her audition.
So I didn't get a detailed look to see if she really fit the role.
I see.
"Youth Excursion."
"Controversy over blindfolded open auditions?"
It's an article about Director Hwang.
Gosh, we tried to keep it quiet, but I guess it still got out.
People are so strange.
We were totally fair and cast them based on their acting,
but people are condemning them because they know the director.
People tend to bite people's heads off if they have a reason.
Regardless of the truth.
This might force them to quit the movie.
(Youth Excursion, Controversy Over Blindfolded Open Auditions?)
Get Yoo Eun Sung off the cast of Sun Woo's movie.
Use any means necessary.
Every day is fun...
I've become a real actress.
Were you surprised because I called you out for drinks?
No, I was happy.
I was disappointed because we only met briefly last time.
If you think about it,
our relationship is quite interesting.
The first time I met you was at the police station. Right?
When you came to report that cat because you lost your jacket.
You're right.
When I asked you to cancel the report because I found my jacket,
you got really mad.
That I shouldn't waste governmental power like that.
That cat was Eun Sung,
but you insisted on catching her.
If you think about it,
it's been a while since you first met Eun Sung.
Yes, although I had no idea I would end up liking her.
Then...
I guess it'll be hard for the two of you to break up.
What do you mean?
You've heard the saying, "People come and go." Right?
I came here to tell you that.
Eun Hyuk.
I know it may sound cold,
but you guys should end things now.
I thought you were on our side.
I thought you understood us.
I know it's hard.
I also know that it hurts.
I know that cutting someone out...
is easier said than done.
I know that better than anyone.
But...
when you need to cut someone out, you have to do it.
If not, it'll only get harder.
The person I love will only end up hurting...
and suffering more.
Is it...
really that impossible to make things work?
Is it something that we really can't overcome?
It's possible if you cut ties with your families.
But is that overcoming it?
In order to gain one thing,
you have to give up something else.
For the sake of both your futures,
make an objective decision.
It may hurt now,
but it's the best for both of you.
Ta-da.
What's this? Isn't it a makeup box?
It's late, but it's my gift to you for getting the part.
Oh, my. Really?
Thank you. It's so pretty.
You should bring this with you to do your makeup,
go to shoots,
and stand in front of cameras.
I'll use this to do my makeup and look pretty...
and take one step forward to becoming the actress, Yoo Eun Sung.
What is it, Eun A?
- About you and Sun Woo... - What?
Did Mom say something?
Or was it Dad?
Did they say they don't want us together?
Did they say they can't accept it?
I have no doubt that Mom and Dad won't change their minds.
But I feel the same way.
I feel like you'll both end up getting hurt.
I feel like you'll get broken.
Eun A.
- But I still like Director Kang... - I know.
But as long as both your parents are around,
you can never be together.
Even if you do,
every day will feel like you're at war and in a feud.
Eun A.
Is that the kind of life you want?
Do you want your family to fight every day...
and argue?
If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be.
If you guys continue to be stubborn,
you guys and our families will get hurt.
You can never escape this issue...
unless you leave your families.
Eun A.
Did Eun A go to her biological mom's house?
Yes.
(Haha Chicken)
Since Eun A is Sun Woo's sister...
and Eun Sung's sister, I guess she stepped in.
I don't know what they talked about,
but it seems like she decided that they should break up.
She said she'd talk to Eun Sung.
It'd be nice if Eun Sung had a change of heart...
after she heard Eun A out.
It might be more effective if her sister talks to her...
than having her parents force her to break up with him.
Right.
It'd be nice if that happens.
By the way,
I hope Eun Sung doesn't get too hurt by this.
I feel bad because it feels like...
we gave her this big hardship because of our problems.
I was worried about Eun Sung too.
Who would've thought the first boyfriend she brought home...
would end up being Sim Jung Ae's son?
In any case, I hope Eun Sung...
overcomes this crisis well.
So?
Did Eun A say she would try to persuade her sister?
Yes. I was really firm with my stance,
and she was hurt because she's the sister...
she lived with for 30 years.
But in the end,
she said she'd do what she could to change their minds.
I see. That's good.
That might be more effective than us saying it a hundred times.
She'll try to persuade her rather than yell at her.
She said she'd talk to Eun Hyuk and have him meet Sun Woo,
but you never know. Sun Woo's not the type to listen.
You're right.
Sun Woo's very inflexible and stubborn.
If you think about it,
I'm sure it's hard for Eun A and Eun Hyuk...
to be stuck in the middle.
The two parties fighting with each other...
are their mom and dad.
So it's not like they can take sides.
It's true that the kids are suffering because of their parents.
But about Sun Woo...
He might seem cold and hard on the outside,
but he's quite soft on the inside.
I'm not sure if he'll be okay if he breaks up with his girlfriend.
When you need to cut someone out, you have to do it.
If not, it'll only get harder.
But as long as both your parents are around,
you can never be together.
Hey, Ha Young.
Are you done casting the parts for your movie?
Are you planning on casting any more people?
Yes, we're done casting and all we have left are the shoots.
Why are you asking?
Why do you think?
If anyone quits,
I want to swoop in and be a part of it.
Father, you're too old to be in a movie.
We don't have any roles for people your age.
Hey. If someone doesn't show up all of a sudden,
you can change the age of the role and have someone play that part.
If you debut in a movie over the age of 80,
your friends will be so shocked.
All your friends are quite old,
so I'm worried they might collapse from the shock.
- What are you saying? - If you appear in a movie,
can you take me to the shoot?
I want to watch.
See? The entire family wishes for me to debut.
But you're my daughter, and all you're doing is getting mad.
How old are you?
There are no actors you can replace.
All the actors we chose...
have good foundations and are exceptional actors.
Why you... My goodness.
Goodness gracious.
You should listen to the truth!
That's Ms. Yoo's voice.
Because you're a reporter,
- Is she already here? - at the very least...
If you have the obligation to reveal the truth about society...
and look into it,
you shouldn't ignore it.
Don't you know what...
people who have power are doing right now...
to fulfill their ugly greed...
What's wrong with her?
Is something wrong?
Eun Sung.
Did you get hurt yesterday?
Yes, I met your brother.
Eun Sung, let's not waver.
Regardless of what others say.
Where are you?
Are you at the practice studio?
Okay.
I'm positive the two of them are facing some type of crisis.
Regardless of what that is,
if they grow apart from each other...
and Yoo Eun Sung ends up quitting...
Hello, Mother.
About my request last time...
The issue about removing Eun Sung from the cast of the movie?
Yes. Did you...
find a way?
I guess there is a way.
Ms. Shin, please help me.
I need to take this opportunity to make sure...
Sun Woo and Eun Sung break up.
Mother.
Yes?
The way to get Eun Sung off the cast of the movie is...
Here. This is for you.
Right. You made the right choice.
What?
Hey. Who are you to act like you're so righteous?
She's acting so high and mighty because she's playing Ye Won.
We agreed not to waver.
Let's get through everything together.
Let's take some time to think about things.
