LOVE TO HATE YOU
You must be cold. Let's get inside.
Let's go.
-I'll order something delicious.
-What the hell?
-Bye.
-Good night.
I just hate all grown-up women.
Shit!
Yes! They are outside.
Here, take care.
Hello.
What the hell?
Is he an undercover president?
It seems like someone aimed
at the camera directly.
Do you have any ideas?
No.
Well, die-hard fans are always around me.
EPISODE 3
NICE GUYS GET A PASS
BAD BOYS HAVE IT COMING
Could she just be a fan?
Or a relative?
No.
It was late,
and she was alone.
There's a thing called a hunch.
The hint of a crime.
To a rookie detective,
it can't be seen
no matter how hard they look.
But once they see it, it's always there.
Help me!
Professor, 52 years old.
Sugaring his daughter's underage friend.
Manager at a big company, 49.
Sugaring 13 minors using a messaging app.
Male schoolteacher, 47.
Threatening and stalking a female student.
Pastor, 46.
Sexually extorting 40 minors
over the course of 20 years.
Top star, 36 years old. Sugaring a minor.
I just hate all grown-up women.
I got a hunch.
She's definitely a minor.
I'd love to find evidence
and bring Nam Kang-ho down,
but the most important thing right now
is to rescue the girl safely.
Look this way, please.
Ji-hye, this way. Raise your hand, please.
Thank you.
To match the vibe of the show, Mr. Nam,
can you please make a finger heart?
Yet another fail!
As expected, Mr. Nam is
too much of a gentleman for finger hearts.
You two have never worked together before.
How are you getting along, acting-wise?
I think we are doing very well.
We share our thoughts
on the characters and the scenes.
The mood on the set is great.
We heard you already shot a kissing scene.
What kind of name do you think
this kiss will receive?
I heard someone say "glue kiss."
Why is that?
Because your lips won't come apart?
You can check it out when it's released.
What about the noise complaint
in Ria's apartment?
They dropped the lawsuit.
I convinced them
it was hard to provide proof of damage.
And with four concert tickets
provided by Dowon,
we sealed the deal.
The registration
for Hyeon Chang-min's apartment?
I took care of that already last week.
That's our job?
We take care of taxes,
legal, and labor affairs.
If it's legally related to our clients,
we do everything.
Oh, Jay from Good Boys. His ex-girlfriend?
She agreed to have an abortion.
We paid her 50 million won
for the abortion and secrecy.
That's cheaper than I thought!
-Thank you.
-And Min Ju-hyeok?
The additional confession video
and the chat room
with the photos were deleted.
Wait.
Isn't that a crime?
I just said the chat room
and the video are deleted.
Oh, right.
You're strong.
Oh, yes. I am.
But you have a weak heart.
You must've had a nice, easy career.
Yeah!
I'm here for the money!
The rent.
I'm only here because of the rent!
-It's Kang-ho.
-Kang-ho!
-Kang-ho!
-Kang-ho!
Stop here!
-Kang-ho!
-Kang-ho!
Kang-ho, did you not read my text?
I told you to use the back door.
Kang-ho, it's about time
you changed your stylist.
When I saw your clothes,
I literally gasped.
But still, your answers were witty.
See you later, then!
-Bye.
-Kang-ho, you're here.
Hurry. Everyone is waiting.
Is she still acting like she's a big deal?
God, we really need
to do something about her.
Is it crowded outside?
Yes.
Keep an eye on them,
and if things get serious,
call Attorney Lee Jin-suh, okay?
Okay.
-Hey, what was that?
-Who are you?
Who are you to stand
between us and Kang-ho?
My dear Kang-ho is very tired today.
I want you to know that.
-What is she saying?
-Hey, are you his wife? His manager?
I'm the president of his fan club!
Don't act like you're all that!
What fan club has a president nowadays?
Here. Here's one!
-Who's the president?
-Me!
What? What are you on about?
What?
NAM'S ROMANCE
WILL THE WIN STREAK CONTINUE?
Welcome.
Oh, thank you.
-Trying to pick a fight with me?
-Young-ki.
That's up to you.
Whoa, scary.
You don't want me hitting on Mi-ran?
-No.
-You said you two are done.
Mi-ran wasn't scouted by our firm.
She applied here herself.
She chose our firm,
and she chose this moment.
That's who she is.
No calls, no talks of reunion, just bam!
She charges in first.
I thought I was over her.
But when my pants ripped, I realized.
I didn't care about anyone else,
but to show that to Mi-ran…
Why did I have to wear pink that day?
YEO MI-RAN
Yes, Mi-ran.
Jin-suh, let me ask you something.
Who takes care of Nam Kang-ho?
What? That's me.
Oh, is it?
Then, do you think
you can let me work for him with you?
Why?
Well, isn't it obvious? I have feelings.
I think we should give each other
some time.
No, I didn't mean I'm interested
in working with you--
I'll think about it.
-What?
-Bye.
-She wants to get back with you?
-Basically, yeah.
After she saw your pants rip?
Hey, no.
She must feel sorry for you.
Jeez, what are you going to do?
There's more where that came from.
She'll see you running errands
for Choi Soo-jin and Nam Kang-ho.
No. Not for Choi Soo-jin anymore.
Now you're just talking to yourself.
Man, this girl is so…
YOON SANG-SUP
Sang-sup?
I'm having a drink
with an important client--
Okay.
-Damn it.
-Are you called out?
I have a headache.
Jeez, do they think
we are on standby 24/7?
Young-ki.
I'm sorry, but can you go instead today?
-"No."
-Come on.
I have no choice, then.
I'll have to call someone
who would do anything I ask.
God, that was so stupid.
Asking my ex for a favor
because I'm into another guy?
I practically slapped him in the face.
Hello?
Can you go to Nam Kang-ho in my place?
You mean, right now?
Does that mean
I can work for him with you?
I'll send his manager's contact info
and the address. Call him on your way.
-Thanks.
-Okay.
Wow, she's so…
You ran into her at a hotel.
And she still wants to try dating again?
She's that kind of girl.
Look at it.
Kang-ho's not in any of the pictures!
I don't care.
I'm saying this as the club president--
Club president, my ass!
Oh man.
What is wrong with them, seriously?
-What's up?
-Sir.
Things are getting more and more serious.
Should we call the cops?
Call the cops?
Then this will become a big fat headline.
-Where's Attorney Lee?
-He said he'd be here soon.
We should remove Ip-sae as club president.
She's going to ruin Kang-ho's series!
Leave her be.
We can handle her
because she loves Kang-ho.
If she starts hating him, we can't.
Hey, don't even think
about breaking them up, okay?
-Okay.
-Just keep watching.
Okay.
-What is it? Is something wrong?
-No, it's fine.
It will get worse if they see you.
-What happened?
-What was that?
Hey, get up!
-What the hell?
-Is she crazy?
-What is that?
-Isn't that a toy?
Hey!
Don't panic. It's just a toy.
Now, who am I?
A lawyer.
-Lawyer?
-Lawyer.
-What is she doing here?
-Yeah.
Why is she here?
-You don't know?
-What's up with her, Sang-sup?
I don't know either.
I called Mr. Lee Jin-suh.
Does anyone know the fine
for public disturbance?
It's 50,000 won.
If anyone comes at me,
I'll sue for assault.
We didn't mean to hit--
But if you assault someone so hard
that it leads to injury,
things will get very serious.
You don't know the difference
between assault and injury? Man!
Oh, Mr. Do!
The director's looking for you.
-Is she?
-Yes.
-Sang-sup.
-Yes.
Keep an eye on them.
Call me if anything happens.
Yes, sir.
-This way.
-Hey.
Bye.
That was the legal stuff.
Now, I'm about to say something
very personal.
I'm going to be blunt about it,
so please leave if that will upset you.
Go on. Start talking.
Now, raise your hand if you've been
to these meetings less than three times.
You can come once or twice
if you're a fan.
Three or more, less than ten. Hand up.
That's a lot. Okay.
I guess you can call it a pastime.
Ten or more.
Those who follow him to every appearance.
You, stalker.
You, you, stalker.
-What?
-"Stalker"?
Do people like stalkers?
-No.
-Hey, did you say stalker?
Are lawyers allowed to talk trash?
Yeah! You don't know anything!
Kids!
A fact about men.
They care about women
who can dump them anytime,
but they don't care about women
who can't live without them!
Write that down.
Write those words in your heart!
Someday, you'll remember these words.
-Try this.
-Oh, thank you.
This too. It's a crab shell.
You have to work hard from now on,
so eat up.
Jeez, you're drinking too much again.
No, stop it.
Kang-ho, let me pour you a glass.
I'm learning a lot from you.
You were very smooth in the interview too.
Actually, I'm a very honest girl,
so I can't keep a poker face.
It's good that you're honest,
but don't be a nuisance.
Yeah, how did it go?
-They are all gone now.
-Okay.
-You haven't eaten, right?
-No.
Come in and have dinner.
But the lawyer is waiting here
to say hi to Kang-ho.
What? Why?
She will be working for Kang-ho
along with Mr. Lee.
What did you say?
Hello.
Yeah, hi.
-Sang-sup. You haven't eaten, right?
-No.
Go eat. You must be hungry.
Okay.
We've met before.
I'm Yeo Mi-ran, and I'll be working
for Mr. Nam Kang-ho starting today.
Okay.
Thank you for taking care of
today's incident,
but I didn't get any calls about this.
Oh.
It was decided a few hours ago
when I talked to Lee Jin-suh.
Who decided?
Sorry?
Did you, by any chance, plan this,
hoping you'd get close to me?
-Sorry?
-What?
She likes me.
She told me at the party.
That's why she tripped me.
That time I fell to the floor. It was her.
What?
I'm so sorry!
Hey, hold it there.
What are you talking about?
You tripped him on purpose?
I didn't mean to hurt him or anything.
Forget it. She already apologized.
What is your intention behind this?
I was so sorry for that day.
So I want to do my best
to help you with anything.
There are no other intentions whatsoever!
-I swear!
-Oh God!
I have another reason.
One you couldn't begin to imagine.
What is this dangerous thing?
Oh, this?
It won't hurt. It's very soft.
I can throw it accurately
so it doesn't hit anyone.
Oh God!
I'm more athletic than the average person.
If a fight breaks out,
I can even be your bodyguard!
Want to see?
Watch.
What are you doing?
You're killing him, not guarding him!
Wait. You're a very interesting person.
But just because you can pose
doesn't mean you can fight.
What are you going to do
if a stronger person grabs your--
What the hell are you doing?
Hey, you have problems, seriously!
Oh, I'm so sorry!
I must be out of my mind!
Anyway, thank you again
for taking care of things today.
Kang-ho is actually uncomfortable
with female lawyers.
Thank you again.
Goodbye. Let's go.
-Let's go. Come on!
-Huh?
Ouch.
But he could've said I'm the problem.
What's wrong with female lawyers?
Damn it.
Don't you think
there's something wrong with her?
I'm dizzy.
Was that mixed martial arts?
It seemed like it was,
but I'm not sure what kind.
What are you on about?
Hey.
I think she's a really weird woman.
First, she humiliates you.
Then she helps you
and tries to cling to you.
You should watch out.
I always watch out for women.
Why isn't she answering?
What are they doing together?
YEO MI-RAN
Hello. Shit.
-Hello?
-It's me.
-Why won't you pick up--
-I'm done here.
How did it go? Did you take care of it?
Yeah.
Of course. It was nothing.
I knew it. You don't need me.
You don't need my help.
What kind of girl doesn't ask
to get dropped off
or call to get picked up?
You should stop drinking. Get home safe.
What? Hello?
Hello? Shit.
Who is it?
-Give it!
-Look at you.
Look at you. You like her more.
Yeah, I like her.
You don't know what love is.
Hey! It would have been okay
if it was anyone else.
But you ran into her at a hotel!
How can you date her again?
I don't know.
She's very good at messing up a man.
Once you get hooked on Mi-ran,
it's not easy to escape.
She scores 500 with her right hand
and 200 with her left in four-ball carom.
Good at all kinds of tricks.
Good at all kinds of sports.
And she has no fear.
Badass!
Hop on.
I have to get into a tiger cave
if I'm to catch a tiger.
You did well today.
It's okay. I can go by myself from here.
Thank you. Great job today.
-Goodbye. Good job today.
-Bye.
Thank you!
-Thank you!
-Mr. Do.
-Yeah?
-I want a word with you.
I think you're drunk again.
Let's talk next time when you're sober.
I really need to tell you something!
I'll be quick. Just this once!
-You should go first.
-Okay.
-Goodbye.
-Where are we going?
Kang-ho.
I'm sorry,
but I need to go get some medicine.
-What's wrong?
-I'm not sure.
My stomach is a bit upset.
I told you to slow down.
You were eating too fast.
-Come here.
-Sorry?
No fever.
-You should go home and rest.
-What?
No, it's okay.
-I need to drive you home--
-No, I can call for a driver.
But still, I--
Go home quickly.
-Should I call you a cab?
-No. I'd feel too bad--
Come on, you're sick. Don't feel bad.
Get some rest,
and let me know if you're okay.
Okay.
-Thanks.
-Go on.
-Have a safe trip home.
-Yeah.
-Driver!
-Oh God.
Can I be your driver?
-You're still here?
-Yes!
I was hungry,
so I had dinner somewhere near here.
I just came out, and here you are.
I might seem like a stalker.
Well…
I really feel sorry
about tripping you that day.
And to show you that I am,
I'd like to help you.
I love driving.
I have a Category C1 license.
If you can't decide
whether turning me down
or letting me drive for you is ruder,
I'd say that, from my perspective,
it's more tragic to be turned down.
This is bad.
If I lose him this time,
I can't approach him again.
Is it really a Category C1 license?
Of course!
Why would I lie
about something so trivial?
CATEGORY C1 STANDARD
-Then give it a try.
-Okay!
I'll drive you home safely.
That day was really rough,
and I think I made a fool of myself.
I'm sorry.
No, you didn't.
You're still very young,
so I totally understand.
Well, I thought you would hate me.
Oh, jeez.
I don't hate you.
-Look here.
-Yes?
If you only cut down on your drinking,
I think you'll become
an amazing director in the future.
Really?
What makes you think
I'll become a great director someday?
I expected this to happen,
so I brought these.
Ta-da!
One for you, and one for me.
Cheers!
Why do you think
I'll become an amazing director?
Please tell me.
He's not going to make me drive
and still turn me down
because I'm a female lawyer, is he?
That's possible.
Shit.
Did you learn martial arts?
Yes, a little bit.
-Which one?
-This and that.
Taekwondo to Judo, Aikido, Kung Fu.
-Boxing and MMA too.
-How many black belts do you have?
I only trained briefly in each,
so I have no black belts.
But why did you learn so many?
They were hobbies. I just enjoyed them.
What did you enjoy? Fighting?
Winning a fight.
Turn right at the second alley.
-What?
-I'm going to the convenience store.
Oh, okay.
If there's so much as a scratch…
Where's the store?
Take a left at the end of the road.
What do you think? Can you get past this?
Hey, slow down!
We're here!
Ending directions.
Hey, wait.
-How did you know that's my house?
-What?
The GPS told us.
No, how did you know
which house I live in?
It could be that house or that house.
You watched me drive!
I have great depth perception
and spatial awareness.
Here you go.
-I'll get going now.
-Oh, yes. Thank you.
I'll call you a cab.
That's okay.
I insist. Take the cab.
Did I drive him for nothing?
It will arrive in three minutes.
Oh, I'm really fine.
I'll catch one on the main street.
Goodbye.
Excuse me.
-Yes?
-I called it already.
Oh, right.
You don't have to wait with me.
You can take care of my cases from now on.
Okay.
What?
I'd feel bad sending you off
while owing you if you weren't my lawyer.
Thank you!
I'll do my best!
You can reach out whenever you need me.
You already gave this to my agent earlier.
Oh, I did!
-Oops!
-Congratulations.
-You're a successful fan.
-Sure.
Yeah. Such an honor, Your Majesty.
It's not a blessing to work for you.
You may have succeeded once,
but don't expect to succeed
in something else too.
What?
I'm telling you not to like me so much.
You might get your heart broken.
Oh, so cocky!
I would never dream of that!
I wouldn't dare!
I bet you have a girlfriend
who is very young and pretty!
It's here.
-Have a good night.
-Okay.
What was that?
She's a new kind.
You're now driving to your death,
and I'm going to live!
-What?
-No, it's about something else.
Oh God!
You said you came here to drink.
Are you asleep?
I think your sofa is so comfy.
Who's the girl
that bothered you this time?
It's not like that.
No matter what she does,
Do Won-jun never gives in.
Even a pretty, smart,
rich girl like me can't seduce you.
What did you say? Huh?
If we're living like this when we're 40,
shall we get married?
Grace, you never get tired.
You're so energetic, even at this hour.
I have a good reason for that.
-I just met director Yoo Sung-jun.
-Yoo Sung-jun?
-Are you producing his film?
-Yeah.
-What about the male lead?
-Undecided.
The script just came out.
Hey.
Kang-ho really wants to shoot
an action-noir movie.
If it's Yoo Sung-jun's film,
we have to do it!
Jeez.
Here.
Read it, and call me.
Can I give this to Kang-ho?
Yes.
Grace, thank you so much.
Jeez.
I'd love it if you liked me
as much as you like Kang-ho.
One, two, three, four. Okay!
Okay!
Yeo.
You should always update
your party repertoire.
Yes, sir.
-Hey, let's have the meeting first.
-Yes, sir.
Lee Jin-suh! Yeo Mi-ran!
Who gave you permission
to represent Nam Kang-ho together?
Sorry, sir. I had an emergency,
so I asked Yeo to go in my place, and--
Nam Kang-ho said he was okay with it.
That's what I'm saying.
-How did you seduce him?
-What?
Frankly, he's not the type
to get along with women.
Actually, I drove for him.
Because his manager got sick.
Wow! To his house?
-Perfect timing.
-Is that all you did?
Of course that's all. You be quiet.
You did great.
You're the best.
Hey, I told you to watch out for her.
Don't worry. You know me.
I'll put her back in her place.
"You might be one
of the prettiest lawyers in your town,
but I'm surrounded by girls like you."
"Give up on seducing a top star
to turn your life around,
and work hard to earn a living."
I'll be teaching that to her.
Do you have to?
Isn't it better to remain as strangers?
Are you interested in her?
Not at all.
Why are you here so early?
Is something up?
Here.
What is that?
Director Yoo Sung-jun's script.
Yoo Sung-jun?
I said I'd read it first and then call--
Are you crazy? Tell him I'm in!
Tell him it's an amazing movie!
Tell him that
Nam Kang-ho is dying to meet him!
Okay.
-Won-jun.
-Yeah.
I love you. Do you know that?
-Do you?
-Okay.
Don't. Don't do it!
I love you!
I thought you were done with romance!
This isn't romance. It's erotica.
You crazy bastard!
-What's wrong?
-I said stop!
What are you doing?
Why are you so damn strong?
Attorney Yeo.
Yeah.
These are Nam Kang-ho's case files.
Most are women-related.
This is a lot of files.
Is he the baddest playboy, after all?
Not even.
He fights with all the actresses.
Our job is to cover up the scandals
caused by their feuds.
He's an odd one.
He never dates anyone.
I think he hates women.
-He hates women?
-Yeah.
Not sure about that.
-Maybe he hates adult women.
-What?
Oh, nothing.
Wow, you took Dowon's two top stars
as soon as you arrived.
Nam Kang-ho. Choi Soo-jin.
Yeah, you stuck your neck out
as soon as you arrived. Poor you!
Huh?
You got the two stars.
Why is that sticking your neck out?
It means they give you a lot of work
and cause a lot of trouble.
Choi Soo-jin fired Jin-suh, you know.
And Nam Kang-ho called his lawyer
over a fan club fight.
They both think
that lawyers are their gofers.
Jin-suh was such a show-off,
but I guess he suffers a lot.
He's a bit miserable in the office.
He's working his tail off.
He even ripped his pants.
-He ripped his pants? Why?
-To make people laugh.
He was spreading his legs open,
and the middle went rip!
-Rip!
-Pink panties!
Sang-sup.
Am I giving you a hard time?
What?
No, you're not.
You said no.
-I trust you.
-Okay.
Don't get sick to your stomach.
I'll get sick too.
Were you rehearsing just now?
Why, was it too cheesy?
Enough to make you sick again?
I haven't seen you so happy in a while.
It makes me feel good.
Hey, kid.
Love you.
Mr. Nam. Welcome.
It was Kang-ho's dream
to work with you, Director Yoo.
He used to say it all the time.
Now we meet at last.
Sir.
As always, your script is…
Thank you. I'll give my all.
May I ask
if you have decided on the female lead?
No. We've considered some candidates,
but Director Yoo hasn't made up
his mind yet.
He wants to know if there's anyone
you feel uncomfortable working with.
What?
-Oh, I'm not sure--
-No.
There's no one.
Yes, no one.
Kang-ho is a good actor,
but after reading the script,
I think he has to work
on his action scenes before the shoot.
Have you decided
on the martial arts director?
Director Yoo Hyun-sang.
Wow, sir, I'm so excited!
How is it?
Jeez, this is a problem.
-What is?
-You're athletic.
But your moves are too sporty.
What the director wants
is more of a backstreet punk.
I can do punk if you want.
-Do it.
-What?
That's not it. Hey.
Oh, I'm dizzy.
-Try it this way.
-What?
Move lightly. Just relax.
It won't be easy to shake off your habits.
What do you mean by "sporty"?
You learned to fight not for fighting
but just for fitness.
Parents, an older brother.
A Seoul National University dropout.
Blood type, B.
"Know your enemy and know yourself."
But there's nothing on him.
He doesn't get along with actresses,
but the staff loves him.
He's like a "Mr. Righteous,"
who punishes actresses on power trips?
Mr. Righteous, my ass.
If she had been in her uniform,
I could've found out about her school.
Stakeout.
This is the only way.
God, when is he coming?
Who is this?
Hello?
Hello, I'm Nam Kang-ho.
Oh, yes!
Where are you?
Why do you ask?
I have something to ask you,
but I can't do it over the phone.
-Can I see you for a moment?
-Right now?
If you're home, I'll go there.
No!
Oh, well. I'm out right now.
Come to think of it,
I'm actually close to your house.
You're near my house?
No, I'm not near it,
but I'm five minutes away by taxi.
Should we meet at my place?
If you don't mind.
Okay, I'll call you when I get there.
Man, how can I describe the feeling?
You know the kind.
It's like you taught yourself to fight
on the streets.
Like a mishmash of styles?
Was that what it was?
How can a woman give off such a vibe?
"Can't talk over the phone at this hour."
"Let's meet."
"At my house!"
He's hitting on me for sure!
He must think I'm easy
because I said I liked him.
On top of that,
I'm bound by confidentiality,
so he can play around with me
without getting into trouble.
In that case,
how about I make it easier
for him to hit on me?
NEW RECORDING
You picked the wrong girl this time.
You got here first.
Yeah, I told you
that I happened to be close by.
And I happen to be drunk.
What do you say? Getting horny?
-Are you drunk?
-What?
Then let's talk another time.
Get in. I'll take you home.
Wait!
I'm not drunk.
I dozed off a bit while waiting for you.
I didn't drink at all.
Follow me.
What is it you want to do with me?
This way.
You can sit here.
I suddenly asked to meet you
because I'm not a patient guy.
Do you know Yoo Sung-jun?
The master of action-noir.
Yes, I do.
I will be working on his film.
This might sound absurd,
but when I think about the action scenes,
you keep coming to my mind.
You said you're a good fighter.
Yes, I am good.
Who taught you?
As I told you before,
I learned this and that,
but I taught myself how to fight.
Right. So, it's not
from a particular style?
No. I do whatever I want.
Can I see it again?
-Now?
-Oh.
I want to see
if it feels the same as I remember it.
So, did you call me here to see that?
Yes.
Is he a nutjob?
Is this how a nutjob hits on a girl?
I will pay you a consultation fee
for coming here today.
Well,
I didn't have a specific pose in mind.
You get hurt if you don't warm up.
Here goes.
Side!
Slap, chop!
Eyeballs!
Balls!
I need a partner for this.
It feels a bit weird to do it in the air.
Try it on me, then.
No, I don't attack those who stay still.
Attack me.
Are you playing with me?
Here I go.
You don't say "here I go" when you fight.
Just come.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry!
Do you not like me anymore?
What?
Don't you like me anymore?
LOVE TO HATE YOU
You must be cold. Let's get inside.
Let's go.
-I'll order something delicious.
-What the hell?
-Bye.
-Good night.
I just hate all grown-up women.
Shit!
Yes! They are outside.
Here, take care.
Hello.
What the hell?
Is he an undercover president?
It seems like someone aimed
at the camera directly.
Do you have any ideas?
No.
Well, die-hard fans are always around me.
EPISODE 3
NICE GUYS GET A PASS
BAD BOYS HAVE IT COMING
Could she just be a fan?
Or a relative?
No.
It was late,
and she was alone.
There's a thing called a hunch.
The hint of a crime.
To a rookie detective,
it can't be seen
no matter how hard they look.
But once they see it, it's always there.
Help me!
Professor, 52 years old.
Sugaring his daughter's underage friend.
Manager at a big company, 49.
Sugaring 13 minors using a messaging app.
Male schoolteacher, 47.
Threatening and stalking a female student.
Pastor, 46.
Sexually extorting 40 minors
over the course of 20 years.
Top star, 36 years old. Sugaring a minor.
I just hate all grown-up women.
I got a hunch.
She's definitely a minor.
I'd love to find evidence
and bring Nam Kang-ho down,
but the most important thing right now
is to rescue the girl safely.
Look this way, please.
Ji-hye, this way. Raise your hand, please.
Thank you.
To match the vibe of the show, Mr. Nam,
can you please make a finger heart?
Yet another fail!
As expected, Mr. Nam is
too much of a gentleman for finger hearts.
You two have never worked together before.
How are you getting along, acting-wise?
I think we are doing very well.
We share our thoughts
on the characters and the scenes.
The mood on the set is great.
We heard you already shot a kissing scene.
What kind of name do you think
this kiss will receive?
I heard someone say "glue kiss."
Why is that?
Because your lips won't come apart?
You can check it out when it's released.
What about the noise complaint
in Ria's apartment?
They dropped the lawsuit.
I convinced them
it was hard to provide proof of damage.
And with four concert tickets
provided by Dowon,
we sealed the deal.
The registration
for Hyeon Chang-min's apartment?
I took care of that already last week.
That's our job?
We take care of taxes,
legal, and labor affairs.
If it's legally related to our clients,
we do everything.
Oh, Jay from Good Boys. His ex-girlfriend?
She agreed to have an abortion.
We paid her 50 million won
for the abortion and secrecy.
That's cheaper than I thought!
-Thank you.
-And Min Ju-hyeok?
The additional confession video
and the chat room
with the photos were deleted.
Wait.
Isn't that a crime?
I just said the chat room
and the video are deleted.
Oh, right.
You're strong.
Oh, yes. I am.
But you have a weak heart.
You must've had a nice, easy career.
Yeah!
I'm here for the money!
The rent.
I'm only here because of the rent!
-It's Kang-ho.
-Kang-ho!
-Kang-ho!
-Kang-ho!
Stop here!
-Kang-ho!
-Kang-ho!
Kang-ho, did you not read my text?
I told you to use the back door.
Kang-ho, it's about time
you changed your stylist.
When I saw your clothes,
I literally gasped.
But still, your answers were witty.
See you later, then!
-Bye.
-Kang-ho, you're here.
Hurry. Everyone is waiting.
Is she still acting like she's a big deal?
God, we really need
to do something about her.
Is it crowded outside?
Yes.
Keep an eye on them,
and if things get serious,
call Attorney Lee Jin-suh, okay?
Okay.
-Hey, what was that?
-Who are you?
Who are you to stand
between us and Kang-ho?
My dear Kang-ho is very tired today.
I want you to know that.
-What is she saying?
-Hey, are you his wife? His manager?
I'm the president of his fan club!
Don't act like you're all that!
What fan club has a president nowadays?
Here. Here's one!
-Who's the president?
-Me!
What? What are you on about?
What?
NAM'S ROMANCE
WILL THE WIN STREAK CONTINUE?
Welcome.
Oh, thank you.
-Trying to pick a fight with me?
-Young-ki.
That's up to you.
Whoa, scary.
You don't want me hitting on Mi-ran?
-No.
-You said you two are done.
Mi-ran wasn't scouted by our firm.
She applied here herself.
She chose our firm,
and she chose this moment.
That's who she is.
No calls, no talks of reunion, just bam!
She charges in first.
I thought I was over her.
But when my pants ripped, I realized.
I didn't care about anyone else,
but to show that to Mi-ran…
Why did I have to wear pink that day?
YEO MI-RAN
Yes, Mi-ran.
Jin-suh, let me ask you something.
Who takes care of Nam Kang-ho?
What? That's me.
Oh, is it?
Then, do you think
you can let me work for him with you?
Why?
Well, isn't it obvious? I have feelings.
I think we should give each other
some time.
No, I didn't mean I'm interested
in working with you--
I'll think about it.
-What?
-Bye.
-She wants to get back with you?
-Basically, yeah.
After she saw your pants rip?
Hey, no.
She must feel sorry for you.
Jeez, what are you going to do?
There's more where that came from.
She'll see you running errands
for Choi Soo-jin and Nam Kang-ho.
No. Not for Choi Soo-jin anymore.
Now you're just talking to yourself.
Man, this girl is so…
YOON SANG-SUP
Sang-sup?
I'm having a drink
with an important client--
Okay.
-Damn it.
-Are you called out?
I have a headache.
Jeez, do they think
we are on standby 24/7?
Young-ki.
I'm sorry, but can you go instead today?
-"No."
-Come on.
I have no choice, then.
I'll have to call someone
who would do anything I ask.
God, that was so stupid.
Asking my ex for a favor
because I'm into another guy?
I practically slapped him in the face.
Hello?
Can you go to Nam Kang-ho in my place?
You mean, right now?
Does that mean
I can work for him with you?
I'll send his manager's contact info
and the address. Call him on your way.
-Thanks.
-Okay.
Wow, she's so…
You ran into her at a hotel.
And she still wants to try dating again?
She's that kind of girl.
Look at it.
Kang-ho's not in any of the pictures!
I don't care.
I'm saying this as the club president--
Club president, my ass!
Oh man.
What is wrong with them, seriously?
-What's up?
-Sir.
Things are getting more and more serious.
Should we call the cops?
Call the cops?
Then this will become a big fat headline.
-Where's Attorney Lee?
-He said he'd be here soon.
We should remove Ip-sae as club president.
She's going to ruin Kang-ho's series!
Leave her be.
We can handle her
because she loves Kang-ho.
If she starts hating him, we can't.
Hey, don't even think
about breaking them up, okay?
-Okay.
-Just keep watching.
Okay.
-What is it? Is something wrong?
-No, it's fine.
It will get worse if they see you.
-What happened?
-What was that?
Hey, get up!
-What the hell?
-Is she crazy?
-What is that?
-Isn't that a toy?
Hey!
Don't panic. It's just a toy.
Now, who am I?
A lawyer.
-Lawyer?
-Lawyer.
-What is she doing here?
-Yeah.
Why is she here?
-You don't know?
-What's up with her, Sang-sup?
I don't know either.
I called Mr. Lee Jin-suh.
Does anyone know the fine
for public disturbance?
It's 50,000 won.
If anyone comes at me,
I'll sue for assault.
We didn't mean to hit--
But if you assault someone so hard
that it leads to injury,
things will get very serious.
You don't know the difference
between assault and injury? Man!
Oh, Mr. Do!
The director's looking for you.
-Is she?
-Yes.
-Sang-sup.
-Yes.
Keep an eye on them.
Call me if anything happens.
Yes, sir.
-This way.
-Hey.
Bye.
That was the legal stuff.
Now, I'm about to say something
very personal.
I'm going to be blunt about it,
so please leave if that will upset you.
Go on. Start talking.
Now, raise your hand if you've been
to these meetings less than three times.
You can come once or twice
if you're a fan.
Three or more, less than ten. Hand up.
That's a lot. Okay.
I guess you can call it a pastime.
Ten or more.
Those who follow him to every appearance.
You, stalker.
You, you, stalker.
-What?
-"Stalker"?
Do people like stalkers?
-No.
-Hey, did you say stalker?
Are lawyers allowed to talk trash?
Yeah! You don't know anything!
Kids!
A fact about men.
They care about women
who can dump them anytime,
but they don't care about women
who can't live without them!
Write that down.
Write those words in your heart!
Someday, you'll remember these words.
-Try this.
-Oh, thank you.
This too. It's a crab shell.
You have to work hard from now on,
so eat up.
Jeez, you're drinking too much again.
No, stop it.
Kang-ho, let me pour you a glass.
I'm learning a lot from you.
You were very smooth in the interview too.
Actually, I'm a very honest girl,
so I can't keep a poker face.
It's good that you're honest,
but don't be a nuisance.
Yeah, how did it go?
-They are all gone now.
-Okay.
-You haven't eaten, right?
-No.
Come in and have dinner.
But the lawyer is waiting here
to say hi to Kang-ho.
What? Why?
She will be working for Kang-ho
along with Mr. Lee.
What did you say?
Hello.
Yeah, hi.
-Sang-sup. You haven't eaten, right?
-No.
Go eat. You must be hungry.
Okay.
We've met before.
I'm Yeo Mi-ran, and I'll be working
for Mr. Nam Kang-ho starting today.
Okay.
Thank you for taking care of
today's incident,
but I didn't get any calls about this.
Oh.
It was decided a few hours ago
when I talked to Lee Jin-suh.
Who decided?
Sorry?
Did you, by any chance, plan this,
hoping you'd get close to me?
-Sorry?
-What?
She likes me.
She told me at the party.
That's why she tripped me.
That time I fell to the floor. It was her.
What?
I'm so sorry!
Hey, hold it there.
What are you talking about?
You tripped him on purpose?
I didn't mean to hurt him or anything.
Forget it. She already apologized.
What is your intention behind this?
I was so sorry for that day.
So I want to do my best
to help you with anything.
There are no other intentions whatsoever!
-I swear!
-Oh God!
I have another reason.
One you couldn't begin to imagine.
What is this dangerous thing?
Oh, this?
It won't hurt. It's very soft.
I can throw it accurately
so it doesn't hit anyone.
Oh God!
I'm more athletic than the average person.
If a fight breaks out,
I can even be your bodyguard!
Want to see?
Watch.
What are you doing?
You're killing him, not guarding him!
Wait. You're a very interesting person.
But just because you can pose
doesn't mean you can fight.
What are you going to do
if a stronger person grabs your--
What the hell are you doing?
Hey, you have problems, seriously!
Oh, I'm so sorry!
I must be out of my mind!
Anyway, thank you again
for taking care of things today.
Kang-ho is actually uncomfortable
with female lawyers.
Thank you again.
Goodbye. Let's go.
-Let's go. Come on!
-Huh?
Ouch.
But he could've said I'm the problem.
What's wrong with female lawyers?
Damn it.
Don't you think
there's something wrong with her?
I'm dizzy.
Was that mixed martial arts?
It seemed like it was,
but I'm not sure what kind.
What are you on about?
Hey.
I think she's a really weird woman.
First, she humiliates you.
Then she helps you
and tries to cling to you.
You should watch out.
I always watch out for women.
Why isn't she answering?
What are they doing together?
YEO MI-RAN
Hello. Shit.
-Hello?
-It's me.
-Why won't you pick up--
-I'm done here.
How did it go? Did you take care of it?
Yeah.
Of course. It was nothing.
I knew it. You don't need me.
You don't need my help.
What kind of girl doesn't ask
to get dropped off
or call to get picked up?
You should stop drinking. Get home safe.
What? Hello?
Hello? Shit.
Who is it?
-Give it!
-Look at you.
Look at you. You like her more.
Yeah, I like her.
You don't know what love is.
Hey! It would have been okay
if it was anyone else.
But you ran into her at a hotel!
How can you date her again?
I don't know.
She's very good at messing up a man.
Once you get hooked on Mi-ran,
it's not easy to escape.
She scores 500 with her right hand
and 200 with her left in four-ball carom.
Good at all kinds of tricks.
Good at all kinds of sports.
And she has no fear.
Badass!
Hop on.
I have to get into a tiger cave
if I'm to catch a tiger.
You did well today.
It's okay. I can go by myself from here.
Thank you. Great job today.
-Goodbye. Good job today.
-Bye.
Thank you!
-Thank you!
-Mr. Do.
-Yeah?
-I want a word with you.
I think you're drunk again.
Let's talk next time when you're sober.
I really need to tell you something!
I'll be quick. Just this once!
-You should go first.
-Okay.
-Goodbye.
-Where are we going?
Kang-ho.
I'm sorry,
but I need to go get some medicine.
-What's wrong?
-I'm not sure.
My stomach is a bit upset.
I told you to slow down.
You were eating too fast.
-Come here.
-Sorry?
No fever.
-You should go home and rest.
-What?
No, it's okay.
-I need to drive you home--
-No, I can call for a driver.
But still, I--
Go home quickly.
-Should I call you a cab?
-No. I'd feel too bad--
Come on, you're sick. Don't feel bad.
Get some rest,
and let me know if you're okay.
Okay.
-Thanks.
-Go on.
-Have a safe trip home.
-Yeah.
-Driver!
-Oh God.
Can I be your driver?
-You're still here?
-Yes!
I was hungry,
so I had dinner somewhere near here.
I just came out, and here you are.
I might seem like a stalker.
Well…
I really feel sorry
about tripping you that day.
And to show you that I am,
I'd like to help you.
I love driving.
I have a Category C1 license.
If you can't decide
whether turning me down
or letting me drive for you is ruder,
I'd say that, from my perspective,
it's more tragic to be turned down.
This is bad.
If I lose him this time,
I can't approach him again.
Is it really a Category C1 license?
Of course!
Why would I lie
about something so trivial?
CATEGORY C1 STANDARD
-Then give it a try.
-Okay!
I'll drive you home safely.
That day was really rough,
and I think I made a fool of myself.
I'm sorry.
No, you didn't.
You're still very young,
so I totally understand.
Well, I thought you would hate me.
Oh, jeez.
I don't hate you.
-Look here.
-Yes?
If you only cut down on your drinking,
I think you'll become
an amazing director in the future.
Really?
What makes you think
I'll become a great director someday?
I expected this to happen,
so I brought these.
Ta-da!
One for you, and one for me.
Cheers!
Why do you think
I'll become an amazing director?
Please tell me.
He's not going to make me drive
and still turn me down
because I'm a female lawyer, is he?
That's possible.
Shit.
Did you learn martial arts?
Yes, a little bit.
-Which one?
-This and that.
Taekwondo to Judo, Aikido, Kung Fu.
-Boxing and MMA too.
-How many black belts do you have?
I only trained briefly in each,
so I have no black belts.
But why did you learn so many?
They were hobbies. I just enjoyed them.
What did you enjoy? Fighting?
Winning a fight.
Turn right at the second alley.
-What?
-I'm going to the convenience store.
Oh, okay.
If there's so much as a scratch…
Where's the store?
Take a left at the end of the road.
What do you think? Can you get past this?
Hey, slow down!
We're here!
Ending directions.
Hey, wait.
-How did you know that's my house?
-What?
The GPS told us.
No, how did you know
which house I live in?
It could be that house or that house.
You watched me drive!
I have great depth perception
and spatial awareness.
Here you go.
-I'll get going now.
-Oh, yes. Thank you.
I'll call you a cab.
That's okay.
I insist. Take the cab.
Did I drive him for nothing?
It will arrive in three minutes.
Oh, I'm really fine.
I'll catch one on the main street.
Goodbye.
Excuse me.
-Yes?
-I called it already.
Oh, right.
You don't have to wait with me.
You can take care of my cases from now on.
Okay.
What?
I'd feel bad sending you off
while owing you if you weren't my lawyer.
Thank you!
I'll do my best!
You can reach out whenever you need me.
You already gave this to my agent earlier.
Oh, I did!
-Oops!
-Congratulations.
-You're a successful fan.
-Sure.
Yeah. Such an honor, Your Majesty.
It's not a blessing to work for you.
You may have succeeded once,
but don't expect to succeed
in something else too.
What?
I'm telling you not to like me so much.
You might get your heart broken.
Oh, so cocky!
I would never dream of that!
I wouldn't dare!
I bet you have a girlfriend
who is very young and pretty!
It's here.
-Have a good night.
-Okay.
What was that?
She's a new kind.
You're now driving to your death,
and I'm going to live!
-What?
-No, it's about something else.
Oh God!
You said you came here to drink.
Are you asleep?
I think your sofa is so comfy.
Who's the girl
that bothered you this time?
It's not like that.
No matter what she does,
Do Won-jun never gives in.
Even a pretty, smart,
rich girl like me can't seduce you.
What did you say? Huh?
If we're living like this when we're 40,
shall we get married?
Grace, you never get tired.
You're so energetic, even at this hour.
I have a good reason for that.
-I just met director Yoo Sung-jun.
-Yoo Sung-jun?
-Are you producing his film?
-Yeah.
-What about the male lead?
-Undecided.
The script just came out.
Hey.
Kang-ho really wants to shoot
an action-noir movie.
If it's Yoo Sung-jun's film,
we have to do it!
Jeez.
Here.
Read it, and call me.
Can I give this to Kang-ho?
Yes.
Grace, thank you so much.
Jeez.
I'd love it if you liked me
as much as you like Kang-ho.
One, two, three, four. Okay!
Okay!
Yeo.
You should always update
your party repertoire.
Yes, sir.
-Hey, let's have the meeting first.
-Yes, sir.
Lee Jin-suh! Yeo Mi-ran!
Who gave you permission
to represent Nam Kang-ho together?
Sorry, sir. I had an emergency,
so I asked Yeo to go in my place, and--
Nam Kang-ho said he was okay with it.
That's what I'm saying.
-How did you seduce him?
-What?
Frankly, he's not the type
to get along with women.
Actually, I drove for him.
Because his manager got sick.
Wow! To his house?
-Perfect timing.
-Is that all you did?
Of course that's all. You be quiet.
You did great.
You're the best.
Hey, I told you to watch out for her.
Don't worry. You know me.
I'll put her back in her place.
"You might be one
of the prettiest lawyers in your town,
but I'm surrounded by girls like you."
"Give up on seducing a top star
to turn your life around,
and work hard to earn a living."
I'll be teaching that to her.
Do you have to?
Isn't it better to remain as strangers?
Are you interested in her?
Not at all.
Why are you here so early?
Is something up?
Here.
What is that?
Director Yoo Sung-jun's script.
Yoo Sung-jun?
I said I'd read it first and then call--
Are you crazy? Tell him I'm in!
Tell him it's an amazing movie!
Tell him that
Nam Kang-ho is dying to meet him!
Okay.
-Won-jun.
-Yeah.
I love you. Do you know that?
-Do you?
-Okay.
Don't. Don't do it!
I love you!
I thought you were done with romance!
This isn't romance. It's erotica.
You crazy bastard!
-What's wrong?
-I said stop!
What are you doing?
Why are you so damn strong?
Attorney Yeo.
Yeah.
These are Nam Kang-ho's case files.
Most are women-related.
This is a lot of files.
Is he the baddest playboy, after all?
Not even.
He fights with all the actresses.
Our job is to cover up the scandals
caused by their feuds.
He's an odd one.
He never dates anyone.
I think he hates women.
-He hates women?
-Yeah.
Not sure about that.
-Maybe he hates adult women.
-What?
Oh, nothing.
Wow, you took Dowon's two top stars
as soon as you arrived.
Nam Kang-ho. Choi Soo-jin.
Yeah, you stuck your neck out
as soon as you arrived. Poor you!
Huh?
You got the two stars.
Why is that sticking your neck out?
It means they give you a lot of work
and cause a lot of trouble.
Choi Soo-jin fired Jin-suh, you know.
And Nam Kang-ho called his lawyer
over a fan club fight.
They both think
that lawyers are their gofers.
Jin-suh was such a show-off,
but I guess he suffers a lot.
He's a bit miserable in the office.
He's working his tail off.
He even ripped his pants.
-He ripped his pants? Why?
-To make people laugh.
He was spreading his legs open,
and the middle went rip!
-Rip!
-Pink panties!
Sang-sup.
Am I giving you a hard time?
What?
No, you're not.
You said no.
-I trust you.
-Okay.
Don't get sick to your stomach.
I'll get sick too.
Were you rehearsing just now?
Why, was it too cheesy?
Enough to make you sick again?
I haven't seen you so happy in a while.
It makes me feel good.
Hey, kid.
Love you.
Mr. Nam. Welcome.
It was Kang-ho's dream
to work with you, Director Yoo.
He used to say it all the time.
Now we meet at last.
Sir.
As always, your script is…
Thank you. I'll give my all.
May I ask
if you have decided on the female lead?
No. We've considered some candidates,
but Director Yoo hasn't made up
his mind yet.
He wants to know if there's anyone
you feel uncomfortable working with.
What?
-Oh, I'm not sure--
-No.
There's no one.
Yes, no one.
Kang-ho is a good actor,
but after reading the script,
I think he has to work
on his action scenes before the shoot.
Have you decided
on the martial arts director?
Director Yoo Hyun-sang.
Wow, sir, I'm so excited!
How is it?
Jeez, this is a problem.
-What is?
-You're athletic.
But your moves are too sporty.
What the director wants
is more of a backstreet punk.
I can do punk if you want.
-Do it.
-What?
That's not it. Hey.
Oh, I'm dizzy.
-Try it this way.
-What?
Move lightly. Just relax.
It won't be easy to shake off your habits.
What do you mean by "sporty"?
You learned to fight not for fighting
but just for fitness.
Parents, an older brother.
A Seoul National University dropout.
Blood type, B.
"Know your enemy and know yourself."
But there's nothing on him.
He doesn't get along with actresses,
but the staff loves him.
He's like a "Mr. Righteous,"
who punishes actresses on power trips?
Mr. Righteous, my ass.
If she had been in her uniform,
I could've found out about her school.
Stakeout.
This is the only way.
God, when is he coming?
Who is this?
Hello?
Hello, I'm Nam Kang-ho.
Oh, yes!
Where are you?
Why do you ask?
I have something to ask you,
but I can't do it over the phone.
-Can I see you for a moment?
-Right now?
If you're home, I'll go there.
No!
Oh, well. I'm out right now.
Come to think of it,
I'm actually close to your house.
You're near my house?
No, I'm not near it,
but I'm five minutes away by taxi.
Should we meet at my place?
If you don't mind.
Okay, I'll call you when I get there.
Man, how can I describe the feeling?
You know the kind.
It's like you taught yourself to fight
on the streets.
Like a mishmash of styles?
Was that what it was?
How can a woman give off such a vibe?
"Can't talk over the phone at this hour."
"Let's meet."
"At my house!"
He's hitting on me for sure!
He must think I'm easy
because I said I liked him.
On top of that,
I'm bound by confidentiality,
so he can play around with me
without getting into trouble.
In that case,
how about I make it easier
for him to hit on me?
NEW RECORDING
You picked the wrong girl this time.
You got here first.
Yeah, I told you
that I happened to be close by.
And I happen to be drunk.
What do you say? Getting horny?
-Are you drunk?
-What?
Then let's talk another time.
Get in. I'll take you home.
Wait!
I'm not drunk.
I dozed off a bit while waiting for you.
I didn't drink at all.
Follow me.
What is it you want to do with me?
This way.
You can sit here.
I suddenly asked to meet you
because I'm not a patient guy.
Do you know Yoo Sung-jun?
The master of action-noir.
Yes, I do.
I will be working on his film.
This might sound absurd,
but when I think about the action scenes,
you keep coming to my mind.
You said you're a good fighter.
Yes, I am good.
Who taught you?
As I told you before,
I learned this and that,
but I taught myself how to fight.
Right. So, it's not
from a particular style?
No. I do whatever I want.
Can I see it again?
-Now?
-Oh.
I want to see
if it feels the same as I remember it.
So, did you call me here to see that?
Yes.
Is he a nutjob?
Is this how a nutjob hits on a girl?
I will pay you a consultation fee
for coming here today.
Well,
I didn't have a specific pose in mind.
You get hurt if you don't warm up.
Here goes.
Side!
Slap, chop!
Eyeballs!
Balls!
I need a partner for this.
It feels a bit weird to do it in the air.
Try it on me, then.
No, I don't attack those who stay still.
Attack me.
Are you playing with me?
Here I go.
You don't say "here I go" when you fight.
Just come.
Are you okay?
I'm sorry!
Do you not like me anymore?
What?
Don't you like me anymore?
