Mask Girl (2023) s01e02 Episode Script

Ju Oh-nam

1
My name is Oh-nam Ju.
I like spending time alone.
It's been like that
since I was a child.
When I was young,
the other kids
made fun of me and bullied me.
Go, go, go!
In the world of children, you are degraded
because of how small and chubby you are.
Spin more, more, more!
As I started middle school,
nothing changed.
- It's mine!
- What you talking about?
- I'm gonna eat it first!
- It's mine. Leave it!
The only way
I was able to get along with them at all
was to remain as invisible as possible.
When I allowed myself to be seen,
the bullying resumed
exactly where it left off.
I gradually became terrified
of people's gazes on me.
And I slowly
disappeared completely.
Nobody was around to listen to me.
Except her.
I love you. I love you.
I love you.
I love you too.
MASK GIRL
OH-NAM JU
Thanks, Remi-chan.
Eh?!
You even got a present for me?
You didn't have to.
Anyway, thanks, Remi-chan!
It's so cute!
Ah, shit.
Hello, Ma.
What the hell took you so long to pick up?
I called in the morning,
but you didn't pick up once!
Do you know what day it is today?
Today is
- Didn't I tell you I was
- my birthday.
taking a trip
to Jeju Island with my church today?
Oh, right.
God, what am I supposed to do with you?!
You know Du-sik, right? Mrs. Yang's son?
The one who became a doctor.
You know what he did?
He gave money and bought clothes
for his mother's trip! That's what.
Do I really have to spell it out for you?
I I'm sorry.
Du-sik even got married to a doctor
as well, for heaven's sake.
Apparently, they both adore Du-sik's mom
and look after her health.
I hear from everyone
that he's the best son around,
and I'm so sick and tired of hearing it!
And then, there's you.
How come you've never had a girlfriend
in your life?
What was that? Did you just sigh?
It was just a yawn.
Look at you!
You're just lying over and over again.
When I raised you alone without a husband,
I didn't have many wishes.
All I wished for
was a grandson to hold in my arms.
You're not even able to do that for me.
I'm still alone.
I'm still afraid of people.
I am
especially afraid
of meeting a woman's eyes.
Mr. Oh-nam. Here you go.
DOCUMENT FOR APPROVAL
So I prefer looking at a woman's hands
rather than her face.
This woman has moles on both her hands.
In the exact same spot.
Hmm! She got new nails today.
But here,
I was very
different.
All right,
let's have a look at all my cuties.
Daddy will shower you
with tons of Heart Pangs.
I had a personal
favorite among all of them.
Mask Girl.
It's a bummer that she covers her face,
but she provides the best service!
GIFT HEART PANGS
Ah! Once Upon A Prince,
I'm so touch
They were in the same spot
and were the same size!
Even her nails were the same!
That was when she became special to me!
'ONCE UPON A PRINCE' HAS ENTERED THE CHA
SWEET POTATO: BITCH MUST LOOK LIKE AN ORC
Are we talking
about my face again?
You really wanna see my face, everyone?
TRUE BEAUTY IS INNER BEAUTY.
LET'S NOT JUDGE PEOPLE BY THEIR LOOKS.
I'm totally with Prince here.
You just talk about how someone looks.
Gosh, aren't you tired of it?
You're right, Mo-mi. You know,
I think those who are less attractive,
are actually more interesting
and mature on the inside.
Those pretty and handsome idiots
never had
to experience
any type of rejection.
I agree.
People who are only concerned
with looks are bad.
Hmm, Prince,
what you're saying is really deep.
WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?
All right, enough about looks.
Do you wanna listen to some music?
Hmm, I'm not sure
if the younger generation
is familiar with this song.
It's my all-time favorite.
"Dance In The Rhythm" by Wan-sun Kim.
I sincerely hope
you enjoy it as much as I do.
You are very beautiful,
even without the mask, Mo-mi.
I love you, Mo-mi.
I love you too, Oh-nam.
Milk, milk, milk, milk, milk,
milk, milk, milk, milk, milk, milk, milk,
milk, milk, milk, milk, milk,
milk, milk, milk, milk, milk.
MILK
- Yes!
- Oh no!
I wore something pretty today.
What do I do?
Okay, here I go!
Ooh!
It's not breaking
as well as I thought.
It must be because the ice is slippery.
All right, let's all have a drink.
Cheers!
Have a drink, everyone.
Cheers.
I think I like this wine too.
French wine is just our type of thing,
isn't that right?
Jeez. I feel like I'm already drunk.
Uh-oh!
Sorry?
Hi.
That's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying is that telling a woman
to pour you a glass is wrong.
It doesn't matter if
Actually, Mr. Park doesn't like
when female employees pour him drinks.
Oh.
same thing
as a woman touching a man's chest?
- Okay. Whoa, whoa!
- I'm just saying.
Uh-huh. That's enough, you two. Hmm?
- By the way, Mr. Park.
- Why did you put them so far away?
The kids these days,
they're on an entirely different level.
If they do this,
people donate Heart Pangs left and right.
Ooh, it gets really crazy.
If you give 1,000, that's 100,000,
and if you give 10,000,
it's a million won.
Many young people nowadays
are trying to make money in this manner.
Ahh!
Young people
are just outta their minds these days.
Check this out.
The hottest one on this site is her.
Let's see. Here. Her.
She's called Mask Girl.
Uh-oh.
- I'm sorry.
- All good.
I moved to Osan Pass, you know?
Oh, you did?
Then, sure, get in.
Right, Ms. A-reum.
Let's go for another round.
What should we eat
with our second round of drinks
- Mr. Kim, I
- Oh! You scared me, damn it.
How long have you been standing here? Huh?
You should've said something
if you were right here. My God, what?!
- I I just Uh, I have something
- Yeah, sure, go, bye.
- Let's get spicy chicken feet!
- Sounds good!
- Let's go.
- Let's go!
Let's go. Hell yeah!
What about you? Any other plans?
No, no.
It was totally coincidental.
My place is on the way to his, that's why.
Anyway. On the way,
his wife called him, right?
But even though
he was in the taxi with me,
he lied to his wife,
saying that he was alone.
Why do you think he did that?
HE COULDN'T BE BOTHERED TO EXPLAIN
Exactly. That's all it is.
He could've just said
that he was in a taxi
with an employee
'cause her place was on the way.
BRAD PIT: YOU'RE SO DELUSIONAL
Yeah. Go, Brad Pit.
'BRAD PIT' HAS BEEN KICKED FROM THE CHA
Then, how about this?
A while back, I told him like,
"Oh, your perfume smells really nice."
No.
Then, guess what? He started wearing
only that perfume, nothing else.
But as I'm sure you already know,
I have absolutely no feelings for him.
ONCE UPON A PRINCE:
IF YOU DATE THAT MAN, I'LL KILL MYSELF.
HOW TO CONFESS YOUR LOVE SUCCESSFULLY
I'm in love with you, Momi.
Man, this isn't how
you're supposed to do it!
Mo-mi
someone like him isn't healthy for you.
Just come to me, and
I'll get going now.
What are you doing here, Oh-nam?
Oh, uh
I
Why are you standing here
and not going home?
- Oh
- Huh?
Mmm
Forget it! See you tomorrow!
Weird as fuck.
Yes, sir.
Oh!
Oh my God.
Everyone!
Everyone.
I think I've had
too much to drink.
Do you know what love is?
Oh, dear.
- Uh?! Love always hurts.
- Why is this not working?
I know how you feel. Trust me, I know.
Love is something
Forget that piece of trash.
Feel real love with me now.
Ooh!
Huh? What? What is she doing?
Get it together, Mo-mi. Stop, stop, stop!
No!
- Shit, no!
- I love it!
MASK GIRL ♥ TEDDY:
YOU'LL GET SUSPENDED
- This is all because
- Are you all watching?
of that son of a bitch, Park.
No!
Excuse me, Mo-mi.
I have something to say.
Pardon?
- You should forget it.
- Uh, forget what?
You should forget about that
trash of a married fucking bastard!
Wh What's gotten into you this morning?
I've been watching you all this time.
- What? What do you mean, "watching me"?
- Just
Not really watching you
I'm in love with you, Mo-mi!
I love you!
What's wrong with him
all of a sudden?
Why are you
only telling me this now?
What?
'Cause, actually
I'm in love with you too, Mr. Ju.
You really love me?
Hey. Are you sick? Something wrong?
Oh, uh
It's my wisdom tooth.
Uh, sorry, uh
Yes?
N No, it's nothing.
So, did you have something
you wanted to say to me?
Oh, that
Oh, it's nothing.
Th There was just a slight error
in the sales figures
in the data reported to Mr. Park, so
Are you serious? I'm sorry.
It's fine. I adjusted it. He won't notice.
I appreciate it.
Um, see you tomorrow.
No taxi.
I might as well die.
Wait. Wait!
Wait, no, no, no!
Wait, hold on, hold on!
Hey, taxi! Taxi!
Sir, please, follow the cab
in front of you. Hurry up!
Quickly! Quickly!

What? What's going on?
It's nothing.
Hi, Mom.
Why the hell
do you always pick up so late?
Anyway, I made some side dishes.
When should I drop by?
You don't have to
bring me food, thank you.
I haven't had time to eat at home lately.
What kind of stinking company is that?
They work you to the bone
and pay you an ant's ass worth of money.
Mom, I have to go.
My meeting's starting now.
I'll call you back.
Bye.

Gosh, I must be out of my mind.
Damn it.
Whatever happens, happens, I guess.
Hey, Mask Girl!
Oh, you're Mask Girl, right?
Ah, I am so glad to meet you.
I, uh, I'm Handsome Monk.
Wow. I'm so honored.
Your streams are really the best,
Mask Girl. I think they're really amazing.
The other girl creators know,
uh, that they're pretty.
They don't have a
a professional mindset, whatsoever.
Um, your streams, Mask Girl,
they're honest and open.
That's what's really awesome, you know?
- It's cool!
- Oh, sure. Thanks.
Uh Um
How 'bout, uh, we, uh,
speak more casually now?
We're 27.
Oh. Sure, why not.
Then can you take off your mask now?
Oh. I, uh, I'm not hungry.
Come on, I can't eat
all of this all by myself.
Take it off.
Take it I'm gonna say it really loud.
- Take it off!
- Okay!
- Take it off!
- Stop.
- Take it off!
- Stop it!
- Don't look at me. I'm embarrassed.
- Wait, hold on.
So why have you been wearing a mask?
You're pretty.
What are you saying?
- You're making fun of me, aren't you?
- No, I'm not!
You're, um, really natural and, uh,
damn it, what's the word, um,
attractive.
Um, charming, you mean?
Charming, that's it!
But you're also totally attractive.
And so,
did you spend time in America?
- Hmm?
- Seems you lived in America for a while.
Uh, until I graduated college.
My family, are in the US.
I live in Korea.
Aren't you a bit lonely?
Um, I was a bit lonely.
When I came to Korea,
I was completely lost.
Okay, so, I cried.
I was alone.
Oh, I know what it's like.
Um
well, I think it's better now.
Mask Girl, if you go to America,
you'll be really popular.
Yeah?
Yeah! American guys, uh, appreciate girls,
um, with, uh
Cheekbones?
Yeah. They really like girls
with high cheekbones.
Oh.
Really?
I I was thinking
about getting surgery, though.
Ah, please don't.
Mask Girl,
you're really, really attractive.
If you ask me
No, I'm really against it.
Let's go.
Hey, I apologize
for taking so long.
Oh, no problem. It's fine.
- One more drink?
- Okay.
Do you want something else?
- Um, I'll have the same one as you.
- Okay.
Excuse me!

MO-MI, WHERE ARE YOU?
PLEASE CALL ME WHEN YOU GET THIS
What's up with him?
You know, um, I don't
I don't think
we should drink here, though.
Is it even allowed?
You said it was fine. What's wrong? Hmm?
- What's going on all of a sudden?
- Hold on.
I just think it's weird
to be here.
Mask Girl. Come here.

Wow, I've never seen this before.
Mask Girl, look!

You're so beautiful.
Stop it! No!
Wait. Are you making me
the bad guy here, huh?
We had a really good time, remember? Hmm.
I'm outta here!
If you weren't gonna do it,
you should've told me earlier.
What a fucking waste of money!
I'll refund it.
What?
What are you doing playing hard to get
when you're that fucking ugly?
What did you
just say to me?
When you're that fucking ugly,
why are you playing hard to get?
You practically showed everything
on your live streams.
So what's with this arrogant bullshit?
If you were attractive, I'd let it go,
you know? But you're fucking ugly.
Fucking bullshit.
Shit, are you fucking crazy?
You're fucking pissing me off,

ASSOCIATE MANAGER JU OH-NAM
Hello? Hello?!
Mo-mi!
Mo-mi?
Are you all right?
Ugh.
Hmm
Is
Is he dead?
I don't know, I
Uh, this bastard tried to jump me
and force himself on me, so
I said no, I didn't want to,
but he didn't
Kept pushing.
I should report it.
Call the police, right?
If you report it like this,
you might go to jail.
If I say that it was self-defense,
they will understand.
They might
Wouldn't it work out?
You came to the motel with this bastard
of your own free will, though.
Even if it turns out
to be manslaughter,
you'll have to serve
at least a few years in prison.
Then, what do I do, huh?
You should go home, Mo-mi.
I'll take care of this here.
- Wh What do you mean?
- I can take care of it.
You need to go now.
No, I can't just leave.
- How can I
- Yes, you can. I'm begging you.
Please go home now.
I don't think that's right.
Please, please, please,
please, please, please, please!
Please leave. Just go.
Ms. Sang-sun.
What happened to Ms. Mo-mi? Huh?
- Mo-mi?
- Yeah.
- I'm not sure.
- My goodness.
No, because earlier this morning,
I got a message from HR
letting me know she'd called.
Apparently, she said she's quitting.
What?
I mean, it's incredible.
You just quit by phone these days? Huh?
Can't believe this.
Back in my day,
this was simply unthinkable. Right?
The person you are calling
is currently unavailable. Please leave a
She's even turned off her phone.
What's goin' on?
they're on
an entirely different level.

STREAMER SUSPENDED DUE TO VIOLATION
OF RULES AND CONDUCT DURING LIVE STREAM
Um
could I get Ms. Mo-mi Kim's home address?
She's from Sales Management.
For what reason?
It's just
that Ms. Mo-mi quit today,
and I think she's
not picking up her phone.
We have to send her stuff to her,
but I don't know her address.
Oh, sure. Hold on, please.
The person you are calling
is currently unavailable.
Please leave a me
It's been a while, everyone.
Today's my last live stream.
Thank you for everything.
SOMETHING'S OFF ABOUT HER AGAIN
IS SHE DRUNK?
Mo-mi, open the door, please.
I know you're inside.
Come on, open the door right now, Mo-mi!
Come in.
So are you going somewhere?
Why did you leave the company?
I can't go back to work.
Acting like nothing happened
that night in that motel.
Mo-mi, please
You have to forget
about what happened.
Just disregard it as if it never happened.
You and I both know he deserved to die.
He was
nothing more than just a cockroach.
You're him, aren't you?
Once Upon A Prince.
I thought it was strange
how you knew that I was meeting with him.
Once I gathered my thoughts,
it became clear.
It's you, isn't it?
You're also the one
who sent me that strange email.
Why did you do that?
Why did you do it?
I didn't do it on purpose.
When I saw you go into a motel with Park,
a burst of anger came over me.
It was the first time I had feelings
like this towards another person.
I'm sorry.
You're right.
You're right, Mr. Oh-nam.
I'm going to
erase what happened from my memory.
Like you said,
I'm just going to believe
that a cockroach died.
I'm gonna start over.
Now the Mo-mi Kim of the past
is dead.
I'm gonna start anew.
Completely
fresh.
What about me, then?
Are you gonna erase me too, huh?
Mr. Oh-nam
what do you want me to do for you?
Hmm?
You're the same.
Stop!
Let go! Damn it!
I have to protect you, Mo-mi, okay?
That day, I made the decision
to, uh
always protect you from now on.
I love you, Mo-mi!
What the hell did you do?
Son of a bitch.
