(Episode 85)
I will tell you the truth.
Director Kang Sun Woo and I...
are not in a relationship.
We...
are nothing more than a director and an actress.
Eun Sung.
Why is Ms. Yoo saying that?
I know.
Director Kang. Did she say anything to you?
Did Ms. Yoo tell you she'll take responsibility for this?
No. She didn't say anything to me.
Then why...
You're nothing more than a director and an actress?
Then what was that photograph in the article?
You guys were holding hands.
Pardon?
Oh, that...
was taken when he was giving me tips on my acting.
As far as I remember, he was helping me with my scene...
by giving me direction while playing my opposing role.
I see.
Then your relationship...
with Director Kang Sun Woo is nothing more than work?
Yes.
Because I worked as a member of the "Hidden Memory" team,
it's true that I worked closely with him.
However, that doesn't mean he and I had a special relationship.
I...
was just one of the many people...
who worked with him on the movie.
What are you planning to do to calm this controversy?
To apologize...
to Director Kang and the CEO of Cheong Film...
for causing so much trouble with this issue,
I will quit "Hidden Memory."
- You won't be in the movie? - Eun Sung.
Yes.
Although I did not do anything corrupt,
in order to stop this controversy from spreading,
I will step down from the role I am portraying...
and leave the movie.
This is wrong!
Why would she do this without telling us?
It seems that Ms. Yoo decided to shoulder all the responsibility.
So that neither the company nor you will suffer from it.
Even still, this is...
First, let's temporarily postpone the press conference...
and handle the situation in accordance with the response.
Also, don't agree or disagree...
with the contents of Eun Sung's interview.
Okay. We'll do that.
(Cinema 3.0)
I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance.
(My Director)
But I believe this is the best for everyone.
(My Director)
Yoo Eun Sung did an interview?
Are you sure she said...
she wasn't in a relationship with Sun Woo?
Yes. You know people do a lot of live broadcasts these days.
She...
even said that she would quit Sun Woo's movie there.
I hope she doesn't go back on it later on.
Maybe they're just trying to fool us...
so they can date behind our backs.
Goodness. If that was the case, why would she blow it up like this?
Don't you know how powerful the media is these days?
A lot of people have already seen it,
and people can rewatch it whenever they want.
Great. Now I'm relieved.
I should've used this card sooner.
I wasted time for nothing.
I could've resolved it in one go.
Gosh, I can't help but feel bad...
at the thought that the child is paying...
for the sins of her parents.
I don't feel good about it.
It's not like I was happy to do this, either.
What choice did I have?
Are you okay with Yoo Dong Gu's daughter...
marrying Sun Woo?
Oh, my gosh. What is all of this?
How could Eun Sung come out on a show and...
Did you guys know about this?
That Eun Sung was going to be a show?
No, we had no idea either.
All we knew was that she was going to break up with Sun Woo...
which she told all of us this morning.
Why would she go this far?
Gosh, I had no idea.
When she said she was breaking up with him,
I told her she had made the right choice.
I mean, when she made the decision...
to appear on this show,
it meant she was really tortured by this.
How could I call myself her mom...
when I didn't realize she was suffering so much?
What is Eun Sung going to do now?
She went through so much to get the part.
Why must Eun Sung be the only one to lose everything in this breakup?
It's not like she did anything wrong.
Since she decided to break up with him,
I think she's trying to make sure to end it once and for all.
Since the controversy wasn't calming down,
she decided to take it upon herself.
We were also worried about her filming the movie...
with Sun Woo too.
Even still, there was no need to announce it so publicly.
She's not breaking up with him because she doesn't like him.
She wanted to sacrifice herself...
to help Sun Woo live.
Even still, why would she take full responsibility for this?
She's having a hard time too.
Eun Sung.
What is all of this?
Why would you go on a show...
and say you weren't in a relationship with me?
What about quitting "Hidden Memory?"
It's just like I said.
I'm...
going to break up with you now.
What?
I'm...
going to go my separate way.
It was exhausting and hard,
so I don't want to be with you anymore.
What are you saying?
We were totally fine until yesterday.
Is that what you think?
Both our parents were constantly fighting each other,
and they kept telling us we couldn't be together and to break up.
On top of that, an article was released.
I auditioned fair and square,
but people were saying I did something corrupt.
That's why I said I would do a press conference.
I was going to reveal that you and I were together...
and handle it myself.
What if we revealed we were together?
Do you think people would believe us?
Do you think they'd believe everything you said was true?
Eun Sung!
What about our families?
What would you do about our families?
Do you think you can cut ties with your family,
who keep saying we can't be together?
Can you do that?
We agreed to persuade them over time.
No. This isn't something we can persuade them about.
We shouldn't either.
We...
were just not meant to be.
Just like our parents said,
we'll only end up hurting...
and poisoning each other.
Eun Sung, how could you say that?
Is that all we are to one another?
I handled more than I could...
because I thought of your feelings.
No. I can't let you go like this.
We like each other!
We confirmed our feelings for each other just yesterday!
This isn't something that can happen just because we like each other!
I've already...
made my decision,
so you should let go of me too.
Eun Sung.
So Eun Sung decided to quit the movie.
I know that Sun Woo and Eun Sung could never be together,
but it makes me sad that my biological mom was so harsh.
What did Eun Sung do wrong?
This is a complicated issue,
so I don't know what to say.
Oh, my. Ms. Yoo.
Hello, Mother.
I haven't seen you in a while.
Why haven't you come by the cafe?
I did. I came often to see Min Guk,
but I always missed you.
Oh, really?
I have something to ask you.
Min Guk, can you step out for a bit?
What? Step out?
I have something to discuss with Ms. Yoo,
so make yourself scarce.
What do you have to talk about with...
Fine. I was feeling stuffy, so I was going to get some air anyway.
What is it, Mother?
I'll get straight to the point.
What do you think of Min Guk?
Pardon?
I was wondering if you had any interest in Min Guk.
In other words, as a man...
Yes, Mother. I like him.
Like you said, as a man...
Of course, I like him as a friend too.
Thank goodness.
To be honest, I had my eye on you...
as a potential partner for Min Guk.
But as you already know,
Min Guk's situation isn't that great,
so I couldn't say anything about it confidently.
But as long as you're interested, I would like you...
I'm interested, Mother.
Really?
Are you really interested in trying to make things work with him?
So can you help me?
Of course. I'll help you.
As long as you're willing to be his partner.
I'd love to.
- Gosh. - Why is it Eun A?
I know.
I had a feeling,
but I had no idea she'd be on Eun A's side.
My daughter-in-law is really conservative,
so she doesn't like girls like you who are too forward.
So whose side are you on?
Since you're...
eating sweet potatoes with us while we strategize,
does that mean, at the very least, you're not on Eun A's side?
Hey, how old are you?
Sweet potatoes and taking sides are two separate issues.
Grandpa, you're making me sad.
Whenever you come,
I always use the expensive beans to make your coffee.
I'll do that later when I start my shift too.
Hey, are the beans yours? They're Min Guk's.
Honestly, it's not like you bought them with your money.
But what's the point of us discussing this?
The person you have to convince is not interested.
I heard the cafe owner was still waiting for Ga Ram's mom.
That's why it's so frustrating.
Nobody has ever shown him any interest,
but now so many women want him.
My goodness.
Then shouldn't we try to find Ga Ram's mom?
What?
Why would you look for her?
I just want to see what kind of woman she is...
for Mr. Shin to still have feelings for her.
I need to know if she's over Mr. Shin,
or if she plans to come back.
That way I can adjust my route and change my strategy.
I see.
Right.
What is all of this, Ms. Yoo?
What was that show?
I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance.
I had my own reasons. I had no choice.
You had no choice?
Why?
Director Kang and I broke up.
So I thought it'd be best if we put the controversy to rest...
and go our separate ways as soon as possible.
What do you mean by all that?
You broke up with Director Kang?
It just happened that way.
I can't tell you the details.
Even still,
you shouldn't have done this.
You didn't discuss it or tell us beforehand!
If I had told you in advance,
Director Kang would've found out.
I was worried he'd do something before then.
Your break up with Director Kang...
wasn't something you discussed with him. Was it?
Fine.
This is a personal issue, so I won't ask anymore.
But...
there's no reason for you to take full responsibility and step down.
This isn't what's best for Director Kang, either.
Did you tell the reporters that we'd send a press release...
regarding Cheong Film's position on Ms. Yoo quitting the movie?
Yes. There were so many phone calls.
I felt like I was a parrot. I'm exhausted.
What will happen with Ms. Yoo?
Is she really quitting?
She's adamant about her decision.
She already said it on a live broadcast,
so it'll be hard to take back too.
Gosh, why do so many things happen to her?
Why is it so hard to become an actress?
It's always been hard to become one.
That's why people respect all the actors...
who overcome those hardships and get acknowledged for their acting.
What's gotten into you?
Why are you saying such nice things about Ms. Yoo?
I wasn't saying nice things about her.
I'm just generalizing as a producer.
It's about all rookie actors including Ms. Yoo.
I see.
Oh, right. How was the musical you were planning to see...
on New Year's Eve?
They're extending the show's run, so if it's fun, I want to go.
Oh, well...
I didn't get to see it because something came up that day.
What? Something came up?
So you canceled your plans to spend...
the last day of December with someone?
Well...
That's really wrong.
I don't know how urgent the other thing was,
but you ruined the last day of the year for someone.
I'd be surprised if that person didn't cut you out.
I think you were wrong this time, Ms. Shin.
It's a special day that people want to do something special...
with someone special.
I'm sure they were really disappointed...
because you canceled on them.
It's been a while since they met...
not by chance, but because they made plans.
Thank you for answering my call.
Also for agreeing to see me...
and not refusing when I asked you to meet me.
Honestly,
I thought you might not answer...
or refuse to see me.
I considered it,
but I couldn't.
I wanted to be cooler, but...
We already met in the break room too.
That was a coincidence.
You're helping me save face.
Did something happen?
Well...
I didn't call because something happened.
I came here to apologize to you.
Apologize?
I'm sorry...
I canceled our plans for the last day of December.
To be honest, Director Kang's mother called me that night.
I wanted to make things work with him,
so I lied to you and said something urgent came up at work.
Director Kang's mother...
I promised myself that I wouldn't talk about him to you again,
but here I am again.
But...
today really will be the last time I talk about him to you,
so forgive me just this once.
I...
decided to let go of him.
To give up on him.
To be more specific,
I was forced to.
I couldn't win him over no matter how hard I tried.
So...
I decided to stop fumbling about...
and focus my energy on something more productive.
Ha Young...
Just like you said to me,
I'm going to go back to being...
the dignified and confident Shin Ha Young I once was.
I'm going to stop doing things that are fruitless.
Where's Sun Woo?
What? He's not home yet.
Since Yoo Eun Sung made that sudden announcement,
I'm sure he's flustered.
He probably thinks all of this is our fault,
so I'm sure he doesn't want to come home.
Do you think he's passed out somewhere drunk?
He's not the type to do that.
Even if he drinks, nothing bad will happen.
Do you think...
they're going to hold auditions to replace Yoo Eun Sung?
I'm not sure about that.
She announced that she was quitting today.
This was bound to happen,
but I feel bad.
Sun Woo...
acts like he lives freely,
but he can be quite stubborn.
I wonder if he'll get over this.
I'm worried about that too.
I hope the aftermath of this doesn't last long.
We...
were just not meant to be.
Just like our parents said,
we'll only end up hurting...
and poisoning each other.
I've already made my decision,
so you should let go of me too.
No.
There's no way.
How could she change in a day?
I can't end things like this.
Mom, Dad. I'm sorry...
I didn't tell you about the show beforehand.
No.
I'm sure you had your reasons for doing that.
And I'm sure you were hurting as you felt like you had no choice.
We're...
okay with everything,
so don't worry.
The ones who should be sorry...
are your dad, me, and all the adults.
Not you or Sun Woo.
I'm sorry, Eun Sung.
It's all because of our biological mom.
No, it's not.
Let's not talk about this anymore.
Director Kang and I broke up,
and it's nobody's fault.
We were just not meant to be.
So what will you do now...
if you're not going to be in the movie?
If it's okay with you guys,
I want to get a part-time job and help with the restaurant.
The restaurant? Haha Chicken? Why?
Why don't you go on more auditions...
or look for jobs as an actress?
Just because...
Strangely enough, even though I didn't do anything,
I'm exhausted.
I want to get some rest.
I want to distance myself from everything...
and let go.
Okay. Do whatever you want.
Regardless of what you do, focus on your heart...
Who is it?
Sun Woo?
Yes.
Hey, Eun Sung.
I think you should go outside.
Sun Woo...
is waiting out front.
Father.
I'm here to see Eun Sung.
Go home.
Eun Sung said she didn't want to see you.
Father. Please send Eun Sung out.
We need to talk.
I...
can't break up like this.
It seems Eun Sung has made her decision,
so don't change her mind.
You should go home now.
Father.
We...
really cherish and love each other.
If you give your consent,
I'm confident that I won't disappoint you.
How can I give my consent?
If I could've done that, I already would have.
Why do you think I dragged it out only to hurt you and Eun Sung?
It's because you can't be together!
Because you're not a good fit.
How many times must I tell you?
Father, no. No...
I can't live without her.
I can't get through a single day...
Go home.
Stop making me into a bad person...
and go home and listen to your parents.
Father...
Don't come back here again.
I hope...
today's the last time I see you.
Father.
I sent Sun Woo home.
He kept asking to see you,
so I was mean and told him not to come back.
You did the right thing, Dad.
You need to cut him out so he doesn't have lingering feelings.
The same goes with me.
Are you okay, my daughter?
Of course.
I can overcome this.
It'll be painful and hard for the time being,
but I can.
You're so strong, Eun Sung.
You must be tired. Go get some rest.
Okay.
I went through so much today,
so I do feel tired.
I'm going to bed first.
Do you think Eun Sung will be okay?
She's putting up a strong front,
but I'm sure she's torn up inside.
Of course she is.
Will it be okay...
to leave her alone?
I'll check on her.
Eun Sung, are you okay?
Eun Sung.
Oh, dear. Eun Sung, my poor little sister.
Eun A.
I'm not okay.
I'm not okay one bit.
My heart is breaking.
The thought of never seeing Director Kang again...
is ripping my heart to pieces.
About Ye Won, the part Eun Sung was playing before she quit...
Have you decided who will replace her?
It feels like it's my fault, so I can't bring myself to face you.
After doing all those things to Eun Sung,
do you not feel guilty?
Guilty? Guilty for what?
I want to be by your side...
not as a friend, but as something more.
As your girlfriend.
I have no reason to overcome those prejudices...
just to continue seeing you.
