Celebrity (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
Want to know why so many influencers
drink alcohol during their livestreams?
It's a pretty predictable strategy
that they're all using here.
Ta-da! Take a look at this, Gellattos.
Hello, everyone.
They're saying,
"I'm going to bare my soul to you."
"I'm just so honest that I'm willing
to let you see me drunk on a livestream."
"I'm just like you.
Just a normal person living my life."
It's just another tactic
to get on your good side.
But this here,
I promise you, this isn't for show.
I'm gonna reveal some secrets
that have been buried for far too long.
And I could really use a drink right now.
Are you all insane?
What did you think streaming
all at once would do?
What? Were we supposed to do nothing
about the Seo A-ri shit?
Exactly! She's right.
We had to do something about it.
That's exactly what she wants,
you fucking idiots.
Idiots? Hey, I'm the one who told them
to do those livestreams!
This isn't just about you,
you fucking bitch.
Great job. Just great.
See this?
Seo A-ri's livestream
has more viewers after your little stunt!
You could've crushed her.
But you've given her even more attention
without knowing what she's gonna say.
What were you thinking, stupid bitch?
Alcohol,
the truth,
how you really feel,
and a whole lot of buried secrets.
FUCKING ASS BITCH
Yeah, hello?
It's me.
Hey, I'm coming to the club tonight.
Because of that Seo A-ri livestream thing?
Is this the best time?
Jesus! Shut the fuck up
and do this for me, asshole!
What do you think?
Are you curious what scandalous things
are about to go down?
Now, why don't we attach
some hashtags to this stream?
Follow along.
I'll unearth some secrets
that'll unleash something
you'll never believe.
#PANDORASBOX
#THEWORLDTHEYLIVEIN
Here, over here!
-Oh, there's even more?
-This is all of it, ma'am.
Whoa.
So these are all sponsored gifts?
The washing machine too?
You think it stops at just being free?
She's getting paid for it!
Oh damn. She's really made it big.
Oh hey. What are you doing here?
I'm out on transition leave.
Show some interest in your little brother.
What about computers?
Do they ever send you free ones?
You just want to leave the army
and play games all day.
I'm not some average gamer, okay?
I'm a future expert hacker.
Mom, the jewelry
I have to advertise will be here.
Oh, just a second.
Yes, hello?
Yeah, I'll do it for you.
Go do what you need to do, okay?
I'm on my way. See you soon.
Go, go, go!
Hey, come on, sis!
Aw, come on! Get me a computer, please!
Tell me. How much does she make?
-Huh?
-Five million a month? Or a billion?
Come on. It's not just about that.
There's so much more to it
than the money.
Think about it.
Your sister's entire status
might completely change.
Status?
Oh.
-Hey, let's hurry. We're running late.
-Okay.
Go ahead and adjust the testing schedule.
And for tomorrow,
let's go to the lunch meeting as planned.
Looks like my guest is here.
Let's continue this call in an hour.
I'm sorry. I know I'm five minutes late.
We had a meeting that ran long.
And who is this?
Oh, this is my friend.
Hi there! I'm Yoon Jeong-sun.
So good to meet you!
I'm one of A-ri's closest friends.
We also work together.
It's such a great honor to get a chance
to meet you, Mr. Han Jun-kyoung.
Right.
However, did you ask for my consent
about this situation in advance, Ms. A-ri?
I'm sorry
I couldn't get your consent in advance.
The meeting took longer than we thought,
and my friend missed her lunch.
I certainly couldn't tell her
to eat alone.
Well, we should go.
I'm not giving you any belated consent.
So, you enjoy your meal.
Let's head out of here.
Hey, I think he's really angry.
What do I do now?
I'll be right back.
What are you doing?
I understand you're a little put off
because I showed up with a friend
and didn't notify you first.
But how could you treat someone like that?
Keep commitments as per the conditions
they were initially agreed on.
Besides,
people are capable of eating alone
and should know when to do so.
You wouldn't imply that's beyond
your friend's grasp, would you?
We won't get another reservation
at this hour.
I live near here. Why don't we go there?
We can't skip lunch, after all.
You haven't touched your food.
Just like the last time we met.
Are you uncomfortable with me
or just not hungry?
-If the food isn't to your liking--
-It's not that.
I just found myself wondering.
"I wonder how long it took."
"A month?"
"Three months?"
"Maybe a year?"
How long what took?
I meant the woman whose job it is
to take your shoes off.
I'm just wondering how much time
she had to spend practicing that.
I don't know how long it took,
but it was a considerable amount of time.
She knows not to make mistakes.
But that's not
what you really want to say, is it?
Perhaps you feel contempt.
You want to criticize me
for allowing something like this.
As far back as my memory goes,
this is just how things have always been.
I thought other people lived
like this too.
I found out later that was not the case.
And it did make me feel
somewhat uncomfortable.
But I knew I couldn't change the rules
of the world I belonged to.
Then I realized
there was no need to change them.
Why would there be no need
to change that?
I mean, these are their livelihoods,
Ms. Seo A-ri, all right?
I know this may come as a shock to you,
but they take pride in aiding
the upper echelon of society
with their work.
That's the truth.
I learned when I was very young
that if I requested a change
in the way things were done,
they'd be out of a job.
Ever since, I decided to adjust.
It doesn't bother me at all now.
Whatever criticisms you have,
is this explanation enough?
I was just surprised.
I had no intention of criticizing you.
It's someone else's life and choice.
It has nothing to do with me.
While we are on the subject of choices,
I'm finally ready to give you an answer
about our proposed relationship.
I don't believe
I can take you up on that proposal.
The way you live isn't wrong,
but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
It's a preference, you know?
This place, your life.
It's full of things
I definitely don't want for myself.
I was always going to turn you down.
What do you think bringing a friend
to a lunch unannounced means?
It means I have no interest
in eating a meal together.
And the only reason I came here?
I just wanted to see the inside
of a rich guy's house.
I'm sure you're capable
of having a meal by yourself, hmm?
This is Seo A-ri.
LIKED BY HJKHUE AND 1717 OTHERS
Don't play with kind people
based on your whims like this.
Whenever you play these little games,
someone gets hurt.
That doesn't apply to you.
You turned out fine, Si-hyeon.
Since I was the one
who got hurt.
Yoon Si-hyeon?
Really?
Even Si-hyeon's on A-ri's side now?
GELA YOGA STUDIO
Oh my God, A-ri! Hi!
I didn't want to be late
after inviting you, so I ran here.
It's so amazing
to spend time together now, isn't it?
THE HOLY BIBLE
-So do you go to church around here?
-What, you didn't know?
I'm a cradle Christian.
So, yeah, I go to Jeong-su Church.
It's in Samseong-dong.
And the biggest church in Gangnam.
I'm a deacon.
Oh, but also, you shouldn't ever talk
about religion on social media.
Politics too.
Remember that
because it doesn't help with sales at all.
Uh, sure.
This is the tea I sell.
It's great at flushing the fat out.
Thought it's not
like you have any fat to flush out,
so you probably don't need to drink any.
So, uh, why did you want to see me?
Hmm?
Ah.
Oh! Oh God.
Well, I could show you around my studio,
but I Invited you
because I want to be friends.
-Friends with me?
-A-ri.
Think of me
like I'm your cool older sister.
I am two years older than you.
You want us to be like sisters?
Listen, A-ri.
You won't make it alone in this world.
You must connect.
Big sis will help you out.
I'll mediate between Chae-hee and you.
Oh, you don't have to--
Just listen to my advice
and make up with her.
Just let go of this grudge.
Think about it. What do you have to gain
from a strained relationship
with these famous people?
You know?
What? Angela used to be a bar girl?
-She denies it tooth and nail…
-But it's true…
-That's where she met…
-That old pervert…
-Who takes photos of…
-His wife's breasts…
-And shows them off…
-At that…
Same bar.
-Once you start…
-Digging…
You'll find they all
have so much to hide.
-All that…
-Money they piss away…
Where do you think it comes from?
I'm Angela. Nice to meet you.
These are all top-tier, right?
We can't be too careful.
We got a complaint
from some crazy bitch asking us
if they might be knock-offs.
I've put checkmarks on them.
So copy them with minor changes,
and put in the production order.
Okay.
#COPYCA
Hey, honey. What's up?
-On top of that…
-Oh Min-hye's husband…
Kwon Myeong-ho is…
-Rumored to scam people…
-With supercars.
-But…
-That's not confirmed yet.
#SUPERCARSCAM
Can you tell me,
how do you know all this, bbb?
I've been curious about you.
Can you tell me who you are?
You've really helped me,
and we've been DMing each other
for a while.
It seems like I should
at least know your name.
Honestly, I did find it a little weird
that this complete stranger
was sending me messages
wanting to help me.
I just couldn't figure out how this person
knew all these secrets.
I thought,
"Who are they? And what do they do?"
"Or wait,
are they even telling me the truth?"
-I'm a big fan of yours, A-ri.
-That should be enough.
-Why does…
-It matter who I am?
-I'm rooting for you…
-And wish you…
All the best.
-Why…
-You ask?
-Because people…
-Like you…
-Need to…
-Succeed.
People that succeed
based on the merits of their own efforts.
-Although we all go through life…
-It can be so hard on some…
-And yet, so…
-Easy…
-On others.
-Isn't it unfair?
-They were…
-Born…
-With it all…
-Set in place.
-Even still…
-They all took…
-The easy…
-Comfy…
Road to success.
They're trampling regular people…
-Looking down on…
-Them, of course.
You can succeed too,
just like they always do.
But unlike them,
it won't just be handed to you.
You'll earn it yourself!
I'll lend you my strength.
And I promise you
I want to do anything I can to help.
It's true.
I thought that maybe
I could actually have that life.
The life that fell into some people's laps
either by privilege or cheating.
I wanted to earn it.
My own blood, sweat, and tears.
God, that scared me!
You okay?
Why did you even want to come
to Dongdaemun this late at night?
Shouldn't you be shopping
in department stores now?
-What do you plan on buying here?
-I'm not here to buy anything.
I'm here to do something.
Huh? What?
Succeed.
Really succeed.
FUCKING BITCH
Oh! Who is this, huh?
If it isn't our queen Chae-hee!
How are you?
I've decided I'm coming over tomorrow.
Be prepared.
Oh, tomorrow?
Actually, tomorrow might be kind of hard.
-How about Saturday--
-I'll be there around eight o'clock.
Are you… Are you still there?
Oh.
Jesus. This fucking bitch.
On top of being a psycho,
she'll just cut people off.
-Hey.
-Yeah?
Get ready for Jin Chae-hee tomorrow night.
Oh, of course, sir.
FUCKING ASS BITCH
Uh, hello, ma'am.
Do you have this in any other color?
We'll inform you
when you can get your products.
-Great.
-Ma'am, sorry to bother you.
I'd like to check this one out
when you can.
Hey, lady.
If you're here for retail,
go across the street to Doota.
They only care about talking wholesale.
Oh my God, I'm not a lady, okay?
And also, I'm here for, um, wholesale too.
Hmm.
I'll get this sweater in every color.
Except for mint, please.
Okay. You new? I've never seen you around.
I haven't been here before, but I heard
I could find some great stuff here.
I'm with Ari.&. No damaged products,
and I'll need a receipt.
Of course. Just a second.
What's going on?
Are you some kind of fashion expert now?
I came prepared because, remember,
I'm the daughter
of a textile factory owner.
Oh, right.
-Right. Yeah.
-Business good?
Oh God.
I told her to go to across the street.
Look. It's cute.
-This one too.
-Mr. Park, you coming?
Yeah, be right there.
Mmm…
What? Hey, look at this.
Isn't this A-ri's bestie?
They both posted
that they went to Dongdaemun together.
-Dongdaemun?
-Mm-hmm.
Why go to a wholesaler?
Does she want to build some kind
of shopping mall or something?
What's she doing?
Good, right? I made it modern
and desaturated, like you said.
Wow, this is the first time
you've ever been useful.
Yeah? You're getting me a computer, right?
Just wait until this idea blows up,
A-ri can get you
your own internet café by then!
A-ri, you have to get me a Birkin!
No, a Kelly!
Hold on, that one.
I like that one better.
-Touch it up.
-Sure.
Let's upload that one
and see what people think.
Got it.
You know about tonight, right?
It's at eight!
Chae-hee wants to bury the hatchet.
You have to come.
I'll be waiting for you!
The queen is here.
Heading to the VIP room.
Ah, shit, we're royally fucked.
Going on standby, sir!
Hey, that fucking bitch is here.
How do you get hotter and hotter
every single time I see you?
-How?
-What's this? What's all the fuss about?
Ah, it's a reception fit for a queen.
Your loyal subjects better bend the knee.
-A bottle for every table, on me.
-Okay! Woo! Woo! Woo!
Hey, everybody, the queen is buying!
Everyone scream!
THE QUEEN IS HERE!
Woo!
I've been feeling like shit
because of this stupid bitch, okay?
I gotta get her out of my system.
Is everything set?
Of course! You're the queen, aren't you?
Hey, hey, hey!
Are all of you ready?
There's nothing she hates more
than being cut off. Remember that.
Tell her she looks 23,
and you'll get a hefty tip, yeah? Got it?
Yes, sir.
Now move your asses!
If you're using makeup, hurry the fuck up!
-Hey, is everything ready?
-Yeah, it's all set.
Shit, get out of the way.
Ah, fuck.
They taste like apricot this time? Really?
You're bound to get tired
of the same old stuff you tried,
-so I prepared some new products for you.
-And the quality? Good stuff?
I promise you it's gonna rock your world.
Ah! Fuck yeah!
Get it to my room right now.
Okay, this'll be the night of your life!
You better get ready!
Here, here, here.
Yeah, let's get this party started!
Chae-hee.
Oh my god! Hey!
You look so amazing tonight, Chae-hee!
What the fuck is this?
Why is that bitch here?
Hey, calm down.
I invited her so we could all make peace.
I mean, come on, A-ri and us,
we keep seeing each other around,
-so we should just--
-"A-ri and us?"
Did you just put that piece of shit
on the same level as me?
Chae-hee.
That's not what I…
Jesus fucking Christ!
Listen, you stupid bitch.
"We'll see her around?"
You think you can make
these fucking decisions by yourself?
A-ri, wait!
A-ri, you can't just leave like that!
What are you trying to do?
You told me Chae-hee
wanted to meet with me.
How can you expect a truce between us
when she didn't know I was coming?
-What made you think this would even work?
-God, wait a minute.
I have a brilliant plan.
I invited you
because I have this great idea.
-What are you talking about?
-Just calm down and wait it out.
Chae-hee's gonna mellow out soon.
She'll feel absolutely awesome,
and that's when you can talk to her.
What's going to make her mellow out?
Hey, hurry, hurry.
I don't think it paints the best picture
when we meet in private like this.
Really?
Why did you ask to see me?
It's about Seo A-ri.
Are you close with her?
How do you two know each other?
I asked her if she wanted to go out,
and she rejected me.
But the more I see her, the more I think,
"Why does she act like that?
It really doesn't make any sense."
"She has no filter.
She picks fights for no reason."
Maybe that's why.
I'm very interested in her,
but she hates my guts.
It's strange, though.
I feel a bit odd now.
It's not the first time
I've been rejected,
but I just can't seem to get over it.
It's made me care more.
Just like years ago,
when you up and left
without telling me why.
I had absolutely no idea
why it happened.
And I got no explanation from you.
You just suddenly left
completely out of the blue.
But I was fine with it.
I found closure, and I thought,
"She must have had her reasons."
Don't take it the wrong way.
I didn't call you
to tell me your reasons now.
You haven't changed at all.
You truly believe that
what happened back then
is that I was the one who left you?
That you were the one who was hurt
and that I wasn't?
An Jae-hun. Reservation for three.
Mr. Jin, I see you're here as well.
Oh, I see you aren't here
to meet your wife. Apologies.
Your wife is already here, so I thought
you might have a reservation with her.
My wife is here right now?
Yoon Si-hyeon,
if there's one thing I'm sure of,
it's this.
Are you telling me
that my memory is incorrect?
"She must have had her reasons."
It's true.
I was the one that left you.
But the thing
that made me leave back then--
Honey.
It really does taste like apricot.
God, the whole floor is like apricot.
The ceiling too.
Ugh, come on. Come back inside.
Hey, I said no.
Should definitely be game over by now.
Come look.
Chae-hee.
Who is this?
What's her deal?
Girl, it's cool.
This is A-ri. Seo A-ri.
You wanted to make peace with her tonight.
Make peace?
Did I fight her or something?
You didn't.
You're pretty hot.
I guess you can follow me around,
my pretty little angel.
So, the person you had to meet,
it was Jun-kyoung?
Yes.
-But I didn't know you would--
-Oh, a meeting.
And Mr. An is here as well.
Hey, man, you left me out
of a meeting with the missus?
A heads-up would be nice.
We had to meet in private, obviously.
We've all got secrets.
Anyway, please tell your father
that I'll visit within the next few days.
Okay.
I'll look into it and call you.
Hey, Jun-kyoung.
Why is it that you only seem to buddy up
to her in situations like this, huh?
APETSUICH.T; PTING9PENI;
Chae-hee!
What? What's wrong?
Honey.
What? Is this happening again?
Next to her, that's Seo A-ri, isn't it?
It's right near here. I'll head over now.
Mr. An, is it possible
to cancel that meeting?
So then give them a call right now.
Sorry, but I gotta go too.
Please leave
a message after the beep.
Chae-hee, you have to take down
that post right now. Please call.
God, you have to actually sit up. Come on.
God,
this is so fucking awesome.
It's for sure
the best one I've ever tried.
Let me go!
-Oh, it hurts.
-They're insane.
Sit up. You have to sit up, okay?
What is this?
What the fuck are you doing?
Why'd you bring me here?
Ugh, come on. We're just having some fun.
So what's your problem?
What?
Hey!
A-ri, hey, everyone gets high sometimes.
It's stupid not to.
We're part of high society
because we do this.
Uh, high society?
So the rules are different?
You think you can just get away with this?
Hey, we aren't like other people.
We dress and eat differently.
We let out stress differently, you know?
God, you're such a buzzkill.
That's when I realized.
These people have even more privileges
than I ever thought possible.
That normal consequences
don't factor in their lives at all.
Ma'am, we'll just…
Oh!
Hey, Chae-hee.
Chae-hee, come on.
Chae-hee. Chae-hee.
You have to take down that post right now.
Tell me where your phone is.
Chae-hee!
You said you wanted no part in my life,
that you didn't have to like it.
Just your preference.
But in there?
Apparently, that's the kind of life
you do have a preference for.
It's not what it looks like. This is--
I guess I should let you hear
my response to your refusal.
I'll also have to turn you down.
I prefer
not to be around with trash.
Stop right there.
Don't just walk away!
Hey, asshole, snap out of it!
Oh shit!
What the fuck?
Oh my god, come on.
Wake up, asshole. Don't do this!
Hey, Tae!
Just get up!
Jesus Christ, snap out of it!
What the hell's wrong with him?
Hey, come on!
Wake up, you prick!
Come on, motherfucker, don't do this! God!
He isn't breathing.
Hey!
What is wrong with this guy? Seriously?
Come on, you need to get it together!
Stop it! Come on, wake up!
He's not breathing. Did you hear me?
Come on,
keep going, keep going!
-Oh God. We're so fucked.
-What's going on?
I… I don't even know what to do!
Hey, man! Hey, man!
Just open your eyes, asshole!
Move over.
Oh shit.
-Epinephrine?
-What?
Get me a fucking first-aid kit!
We don't have one.
Si-hyeon, what's wrong with him?
It's the drugs.
I think it's because of the drugs.
Hello? We need help. Someone's--
A-ri, don't!
What's this? You crazy?
You trying to kill us all?
Jesus, Chae-hee.
I guess she really finally did it.
-What now?
-We can't do it here.
We need to transfer him.
Mr. Jin, what should we do?
Get him out through a route
with no cameras.
Hey, back entrance, hurry!
Get your shit together and move your ass!
Hey! Hey, come on, wake up!
You should get out.
What about that man?
Jesus, come on! Hey!
-I'll take care of it.
-Wake up, okay? Please!
It's me, Mr. Kim.
-Do you--
-Honey!
-Oh my God.
-What are you doing?
Don't you know me?
I said I'll take care of it!
-Get up!
-Please!
Yes. Right now, hurry.
Okay, come on!
This man's dying from an overdose.
We have to fucking report this!
Report this?
You don't get it, do you, you crazy bitch?
Even if you aren't using yourself,
you were still in this room!
You really think you'll be safe?
So crawl your way out of here,
and don't look back!
