Love to Hate You (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

1
LOVE TO HATE YOU
When did you start liking me?
A special gift!
You get a date with me!
We can get some nice food
and go for a drive.
Do you have anything else in mind?
Did I go as far as to seduce
Nam Kang-ho just now?
Thank you!
-Goodbye.
-Bye.
Is it sore where I hit you?
No, I'm fine.
I don't often do this,
even at my fan meets.
Here.
Okay, thank you.
I feel all right.
Excuse me?
I'm very thankful, so--
I'm not panicking.
What is this?
EPISODE 5
LOVE IS JUST AN EXPERIMEN
LIFE IS THE REAL THING
NAM DOES IT AGAIN
SETS A RECORD
GOD OF ROMANCE
TAG: #NAMKANGHOROMANCE
KANG-HO, SE-NA
IN YOO SUNG-JUN FILM
NEW FILM SHADOW
WILL NAM BECOME YOO'S MUSE?
They say things can develop fast
between a man and a woman.
You got fired quickly, as the saying goes.
-Did you seduce him?
-Who, me?
Why are you so upset?
It's reasonable suspicion.
We hired you to work for Choi Soo-jin,
and you pulled all kinds of tricks on Nam.
And what? A sparring partner?
Did you enjoy tangling
and wrestling with him?
Don't tell me you're going to get sued
for sexual harassment!
I should be the one suing him!
Nam Kang-ho made a move on me!
So I drew a clear line,
and then he fired me out of embarrassment!
I've made a big mistake.
They say you should never tell divas
that they're pretty.
Do you want to see a counselor?
Jeez, fuh…
"Fuh"? What was that?
Did you just curse at me?
No, sir! Photo!
I wish there was one
to prove my innocence!
Close it gently.
I'm very thankful, so--
Oh my. He sure is good-looking.
Man, I told you
she'd cross the line, didn't I?
I told you to be careful.
I knew she'd cling to you and hug you
using training as an excuse,
which could have triggered an attack.
You only got your butt kicked
in the process
and didn't get much training done. Jeez.
Why did you wake up
only after you got beaten up?
You should have listened to me before.
You're right.
So, how far did she go?
Did she kiss you?
No.
I'm asking because you terminated her
as your attorney.
Hey, are you…
-You didn't blow your cover, did you?
-I didn't.
I'm not panicking.
What is this?
The fan service stops here.
It didn't trigger an attack.
That was not an attack…
Excuse me? What did you just say that was?
"Fan service"?
To be honest,
I've never done this much for a fan.
I hope this will be remembered
as a cherished memory for you.
"Cherished memory"?
Oh my God!
-Do you think I enjoyed that?
-What?
You mean, me?
Am I supposed to feel blessed?
You hugged and kissed me at your whim!
Damn it. I can't let this go.
Whoa!
I have to confess. I was never your fan.
I tripped you on purpose before
because you're a jerk!
In fact,
that wasn't the first day I met you.
I saw you before
in the resort parking lot!
"Her goal is to get a rich man anyway.
Why does she even work?"
"Oh, yeah. That's right!"
"So she can be worth more?"
"So she can be worth more and more
and sell herself
to the man who pays the most!"
"Yeah, well,
that's what every woman dreams of!"
And yet, you insisted
on being my attorney?
Yeah, well,
anti-fans are relentless.
But I was drunk!
How did I not get a single word wrong?
Am I a genius?
I thought I was the hard-working type.
Yeah, well, anti-fans are relentless.
I had no idea.
I had no idea.
Damn it!
You had no idea. So, what? What?
So, what?
All done.
Wow, so pretty!
What's all this? Why am I so shiny?
Not shiny,
but twinkle-twinkle, bling-bling.
I used pearls to make you look lively.
Not lively, but natural. I want natural.
This is natural for a celebrity.
You can't go barefaced.
Do it again quickly.
Make me look pale and sick.
Not lively.
The thought of her all dolled up
and trying to be cute makes me…
Damn.
She's not a simple girl, you know.
She won't make it easy to hate her.
You'll see.
I bet she's going to pretend
like she's had a rough time.
You were right.
I told you.
We meet at last.
Have you been well?
We're sorry
about what happened in the past.
We wrongly accused you of being a stalker
and haven't had the chance
to apologize until now.
It's not like you haven't had the chance.
There were plenty of times
when we ran into each other, right?
Let's not talk about the past
or our personal affairs.
I'm sorry to inform you,
but something urgent has come up.
The director won't be coming.
Yes, we've deposited 30 million won
for the treatment.
Her background check was clear,
so she'll be out soon.
Okay, I'll see you then.
You go, girl!
How about a drink tonight? I'm buying.
Who's up for a drink tonight?
-Wait--
-Oh, me!
I was hoping we could eat alone.
This gentleman is buying!
All right, then.
I'll only take one person!
Just one person.
I'll meet you there!
I respectfully decline.
-Looking forward to it!
-You're leaving like that? Hey.
You have to come.
You made the party so big.
Not easy as expected.
I'll let you off because you're cute.
She has very high standards.
Are you okay?
Sure, thanks to everyone's concern.
Coffee?
They must be looking for
a chance to hit on you.
I know. But everyone is so ordinary.
There is no surprise.
What happened with Nam Kang-ho?
I asked you for the job.
Sorry I can't be of help.
-Did something happen?
-Like what?
Did you sleep with him?
Oh, it's against the contract
to disclose a client's personal life.
You think my personal life
is okay to share with you?
Stay in your lane.
So this is why
the guys you dated ended up ruined.
It's like you never liked them at all.
Like they don't matter to you.
I gave you a reason to act that way,
so I understand.
That's probably why you revenge-cheated.
Why must there be a reason
when girls cheat on men?
I'm just as flirtatious
as any ordinary man!
Don't feel responsible
for my flirty nature.
You're really…
-Yes, Mr. Ko.
-Emergency!
You and Yeo Mi-ran, get in here right now!
I heard he had such a hard time
after kissing an actress on set,
he even showed symptoms of nausea.
That's why he does his very best
when he has to shoot a kissing scene
so that he can get it done in one go.
There's even a rumor about him
and CEO Do being long-time lovers.
Do follows him to all of his shoots,
including out-of-town film sets.
A CEO does that?
When there are managers and stylists?
And reportedly,
they always sleep in the same room.
Take a look at this.
This is from a café this morning!
When men go to a café, it's for a contract
or to borrow money
or something like that, right?
Wow, they look so sweet together!
Maybe they spent the night together.
I think all the pieces
are coming together now
as to why he's never had
any dating rumors until now.
You said that
Nam Kang-ho made a move on you?
So, are you a dude? Transgender?
No, these are the guys who spread
fake news about Ms. Choi, remember?
I never thought of Nam Kang-ho
like that, but wow.
There's nothing wrong with being gay.
The best result would be to prove
that the gay rumor is false
and help Nam maintain his role!
Gathering evidence and hashing it out
in court later is a "not bad" result.
But I expect you to get the best result!
-Do I have to work alone?
-Then what?
Have both of them on the case.
Yeo can stay behind
when meeting with Nam Kang-ho.
My goodness.
In my day,
I single-handedly handled
over 30 of these kinds of cases in a week.
These law school babies
don't have the stamina.
They need to revive
the national bar exam. Jeez.
NAM KANG-HO IS GAY?
DID NAM KANG-HO GET OUTED?
NAM'S AGENCY STRONGLY DENIES
FAKE NEWS, JUST A RUMOR
NAM SWEPT UP IN GAY RUMOR
NAM'S GAY RUMOR SPREADS LIKE WILDFIRE
NAUSEA AFTER KISSING
REPORTEDLY LONG-TIME LOVERS
MOVIE PRODUCTION STOPS
Why did you take me to a café?
Dude, I was craving Eggs Benedict.
What can I say?
Can you make it?
The blue underwear
that we bought together.
Throw it away.
Hey.
That's one of my favorites.
You throw away yours.
I bought that for you.
You got it for free, so you throw it away.
Oh, this cheap bastard! Wow, seriously.
So this is where the word
"cheap-ass" comes from.
I'm disappointed in the director.
How could he do this
without even hearing me out?
The investors were going to pull
their money out, so he had no choice.
Kang-ho,
let's expose your past relationship.
What?
About you and Se-na.
It won't cause any big impact now.
And it'll help promote the film.
Judging by how Se-na is right now,
she'll definitely say yes.
Are you making that serious face?
Well, you can
kiss this film goodbye, then.
Man, this is so frustrating.
Let's meet and talk. I'll come to you.
Are you crazy?
Your place and my place
are the most dangerous right now.
-Let's meet at another location.
-Where?
Your second house.
JEONGHA DETENTION CENTER
-Welcome back, ma'am.
-You've been through a lot.
You want me to eat that here?
Do you not see the eyes looking at us
from over there and over there?
Sorry. You could go to the car--
Want to have a drink?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I have some urgent matters to attend to.
Oh, Nam Kang-ho?
That news made its way
into this detention center.
This must be a headache for Won-jun.
I'd better not give him more trouble.
But then, if we don't cause any trouble,
the lawyers will have no work, right?
So, what's your plan for Nam Kang-ho?
First, we'll pressure them to retract
and say it wasn't true.
Who cares about retraction stories?
They're boring.
Bad and strange news is
much more interesting
than good and ordinary news.
You signed a confidentiality agreement
when you were hired, right?
Do you know why?
To prevent you from talking in public
about all the fun stuff.
Which story do you find interesting?
The good or the bad?
Only a strong story
can cover up a strong story.
It will be hard for Kang-ho
unless something even more fun comes up.
It's Hwang Ji-hye.
My thoughts as well.
So I told Gilmu to take action.
What action?
It's all speculation and no evidence.
Well, you can't just sit back
and take all the punches.
What's all this?
What's with all the cameras?
-Was it always like this?
-I'm recording.
I want to see how I do
in this kind of crappy situation.
My lifelong dream is shattered,
and now I have this desire to kill,
but I just can't.
I want to use it in acting later.
Okay, Kang-ho. Just like you said,
if all these experiences
are somehow meaningful to an actor,
I think a really dramatic experience
in real life wouldn't be a bad idea.
What?
Se-na sent this to me.
She had this picture after all this time.
-Hey!
-Don't try to walk over me!
You and I share the same birth year,
but everything else is different!
When you were in 9th grade, I was in 10th.
You went to college in '05. I in '04.
Your zodiac sign is tiger, and mine is ox!
Hey, you. It's about time you drop
that kind of ancient custom, right?
A CEO sticking to such antiquities.
No wonder I'm not a global star.
What, global star?
That's yours to achieve.
Why do you push that onto me--
Be calm. I said, be calm.
If you have an inkling of hope to be
in Yoo's film, don't mess this up.
Okay?
Come in.
I brought her here.
You've become allies?
Did you share walnut cookies
on your way here too?
We had sotteok. Okay?
Are you happy?
Won-jun.
I'll tell him.
I think it's really unfair
that such a baseless rumor stops you
from acting in a film you wanted.
It's not a bad idea, but I don't like it.
Anyway, thanks for your concern.
I guess we're done here.
Hey.
I wish you wouldn't do that.
I've missed you.
I've missed you so much, Kang-ho.
First love Asako is long gone.
So don't be gross, and just go.
Yeah, Kang-ho. Are you done talking?
You came here together,
so you can leave together.
What's wrong with that prick?
He told me
to stop being gross.
Why did you have to cry and be all gross--
Gross? Did you say "gross"?
-What's all this?
-Security cameras.
I really want to do this movie.
Damn it.
Didn't I tell you?
Kang-ho would be much harsher than me.
Are you sure those cameras
back there were turned off?
It's not going to get leaked?
Even if those cameras were on,
do you think he would do such a thing?
He never did one bad thing in revenge
when you betrayed him.
He kept it all repressed
and even got sick--
He got sick?
He was just in a lot of pain.
You're right.
I deserve to be treated this way.
I fully deserve it.
I'm glad that at least
you're over that whole thing.
What did you say?
REPORTER PARK
Hey, how are you, Mr. Park?
It's been a while.
God, Mr. Do,
you must be under a lot of stress.
Yes, well.
It's completely false, so…
Yeah, it's going to pass soon.
Of course, I would know.
I even have a scoop
on Mr. Nam's love story.
-Along with irrefutable evidence.
-I'm sorry?
Let's meet first. Where are you?
Yes. Right now, I'm…
I'm outside the city.
Then call me once you get back to Seoul.
Okay. Wait--
-What is this?
-It wasn't me.
Even the picture I gave you
was all I could barely find.
Did someone else tip it off?
Does anyone from the theater company
know about you two?
No one knows.
Anyway, if that reporter breaks the story,
please make it clear to Kang-ho.
I didn't do it.
Given the circumstances,
I think Mr. Do is right.
I knew Hwang Ji-hye was the type
to do something like this.
Then the first thing we should do
is pressure the informant.
Let's go fishing.
You think she'll take the bait?
We just sit and wait until the fish bites.
Not even Mr. Nam Kang-ho was complaining
about staying at a tourist hotel,
but she said she only sleeps
at a five-star hotel.
The show costs so much money already,
and she's so fussy
about product placement!
In a scene, she wouldn't put on makeup
because she thought she might get
a cosmetics commercial later.
I heard her cussing at an older stylist
who is more experienced than she is.
I'm telling you.
We didn't spread the rumor about Mr. Nam.
Come on. The show is still on the air.
Why would we do something like that?
Of course.
Mr. Nam felt bad that this happened
while the show's still on the air.
We can't afford a scandal
with Ms. Hwang as well,
so we'll do our best
to make sure this doesn't get leaked.
Are you people blackmailing us?
It wasn't me!
Mr. Yoon, it wasn't me. I'm serious!
Oh my. We were not accusing you.
We were actually suspecting Mr. Yoon.
But it seems Ms. Hwang clearly knows
that it wasn't Mr. Yoon.
I mean,
I was just…
I'm sorry!
What the-- Are you a moron?
Why are you admitting it?
Oh God!
We looked into a few more things,
and you have other allegations too.
What?
Unpaid wages, verbal and physical abuse.
I'm letting you know in advance
that your assets can all be frozen
if you're sued on these matters.
"Frozen"?
I do hope you'll be able to clean up
your own mess in a prompt manner.
Let me take that for you.
SHIN NA-EUN
Na-eun.
I'm sorry about that.
-One more glass, please.
-The same drink?
More!
Man, that's sour!
Yeah, it's sour. Shin Na-eun.
You have a pretty name and a pretty face.
Thank you, sir.
If he touches me,
I can just report him for harassment.
But he comes on too vaguely.
If there's a crash,
we should abandon someone like him.
I'm not sure if he deserves to die though.
Na-eun!
Hey, Shin Na-eun!
You're so pretty!
Watch carefully. This is a phone, right?
If you give me your number,
I'll put in a good review for you!
-Is that meant to be funny?
-Hey.
Just keep walking.
-Hey, your number!
-Don't save him. Let him die.
Damn it!
TRANSFER PAGE
AMOUNT: 181,818
Another rage deposit?
If this happened at a bar or a club,
I wouldn't be this upset.
I'd just be like,
"I guess I really am pretty."
I'd still be upset
if someone was that rude to me.
Yeah, I guess.
But at clubs,
guys risk getting rejected and humiliated.
But in my case, I have to risk my job
if I were to raise my voice at him.
You should have taken a selfie with him
in case I run into him someday.
And he wasn't even handsome.
I can't even get close to his face!
You must be having fun
with a hot guy like Nam Kang-ho.
You don't work for fun.
I find it more fun to fly
when there are hot celebrities on board.
-Let's go and blow off steam.
-Go where?
To solve guy problems with guys.
-Let's go!
-Do you think that makes sense right now?
It's not a bad night, huh?
Are the hot guys making you feel better?
Don't bring me to a place like this!
I'm too old to waste time on guys
based on their looks.
Jeez, I'm not telling you to date them.
Just enjoy the night.
And get used to
being around handsome guys!
I guess I will!
I wanted to rule over the men
who desired me.
The easier they thought I was,
the heavier my punishments were on them.
Did I ever have
a heart-fluttering romance?
Hey, Shin Na-eun!
Hey! Wow!
-This is insane!
-Someone you know?
A pretty girl next to another pretty girl!
The obnoxious man from the plane.
Oh, I'm sorry if I offended you earlier!
You know how guys tease pretty girls
just to get their attention!
So, is this you apologizing?
No. He's being obnoxious again
because he wants to hang out.
Oh, just come with me!
I brought something fun from America!
-Something fun?
-Yeah.
It's super fun!
What could that be? I'm really curious.
Hey!
Hang on. I want to check something.
Come in.
Na-eun, come in!
Move!
Stay next to me.
Don't eat anything. Not even water!
Guys, what are you doing? Drink!
Let's drink up!
Bottoms up!
Irrefutable evidence. I told you, right?
Wait, it looks like
you didn't know about this.
Don't you know this woman?
To tell you the truth,
we weren't paying attention to Mr. Nam.
We've chased him for years
but got nothing.
But then someone showed me this.
First, I thought it might be edited,
but it turned out to be real.
So we bought it. It cost us quite a bit.
Well, this is a problem.
Since you spent so much money on this,
I don't think you can simply cover it up
just because I asked you to.
What should we do about this?
Oh, you want this covered up?
Then I'll cover it up.
What?
You can see that
this was taken before the scandal.
Thus, it shows that this wasn't staged
just to downplay the gay rumor.
You can clear Nam's name easily
and humiliate the jerks
who use rumors to ruin people.
How great is this?
So you're asking for money.
Oh man.
Wow, I've spent money
on covering up scandals, but this is…
It's not like Mr. Nam did something bad.
But it would take years
for the gay rumor to die down.
Has there ever been a gay actor in Korea?
I wonder if he can stay in the business.
Come on, Mr. Park. Hold up.
Why are you in such a hurry?
I just got the gist
of what you were trying to tell me.
And I've been thinking for a second
about how much would satisfy you.
"I think I should have a conversation
with Mr. Park about these things."
That's what I've been thinking about.
That keeps the smell from leaking out.
This is so freaking fun!
They're on their way, so let's leave.
Act naturally.
Okay.
-Shall we go dance?
-Shall we?
Where the hell are you going?
Hey!
What the hell is wrong
with you ugly bitches?
We're here to have fun.
Why don't you drink?
We did drink.
We just drank two shots.
Then give this a try.
I'm okay.
We have to use the ladies' room.
Damn it, just try it once!
It's safer than alcohol!
Try it once. Just once.
It's freaking fun, I'm telling you!
I don't want to.
Shit, you're freaking boring.
You stupid little bitches.
You little--
Na-eun, let's go.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Where are you going?
Oh my God!
Hey!
What did you say? We're ugly?
How are we ugly?
Is there something wrong with your eyes?
Oh, Detective!
Waiter!
Call 911!
It hurts so much!
Damn it!
You'll have to pay me a fortune
for treatment and compensation!
You, you'd better be ready!
-Excuse me!
-Hey!
Ha!
I should have broken his jaw
to shut him up.
Why would you pay for his treatment?
You got these junkies arrested.
Laws are cold-hearted.
They don't work as we'd like.
And you still beat them up?
How much will it cost?
I didn't break any bones,
so four weeks at the most?
That's four million won, then.
That's the going rate,
but he'll ask for a ridiculous amount.
You're the ridiculous one.
How can you call yourself a lawyer
when you use fists more than the law?
Oh God, it's all my fault!
Only if I hadn't told you
that's the guy from the plane…
Come on out.
You can stay.
What?
-We'll call you if we need statements.
-Sure. Have a good night.
Good night.
That's it? There's no reward?
Only if we help arrest sellers,
not those who just possess them.
We have to pay the rent
and the settlement.
Please don't mess up at work.
When will Nam pay you
for that expensive part-time work?
Oh.
He fired me.
Didn't you do one session?
Yeah.
You got fired after just one session?
Yeah.
Did you beat him to a pulp
like you did with those guys?
No, that's not why I got fired.
Then what?
What could be worse than that?
I just thought
he was kind of full of himself.
And?
So I called him a jerk.
You called him a jerk?
-To his face?
-Yeah.
I was crazy to say that to a client.
Even if he weren't a client,
how can you say
something like that to someone?
I did wrong, didn't I?
This is a first.
Admitting you did a man wrong.
I didn't tell him that yet.
Oh, damn it. That's right.
I haven't apologized.
What now?
The person who crossed the line
wasn't the lawyer, don't you think?
Even if she first seduced you,
you're the one who did this
of your own will!
Where did you get this?
Who's the reporter?
How much do they want? I'll pay.
You didn't have an attack?
-You were okay?
-Yeah.
-I don't know how.
-Huh?
So, then what?
Then what happened? After this.
Nothing. That was it.
Why?
What do you mean "why"?
Why did you stop?
You should have kept going!
You said that she likes you too!
She doesn't like me.
What?
But she's your fan!
What, is every fan supposed to want
to go out with me?
What's with the sudden overreaction?
Did you get rejected?
Hey, did you get rejected
and then fire her because you were mad?
ATTORNEY YEO MI-RAN
Yes.
I sincerely apologize.
I'm really sorry.
I'm also sorry that I offended you.
I ruined your birthday.
Oh, no.
I'm the one who made you
misunderstand things.
And I also made a mistake.
MISTAKE
Mistake, yes. I overreacted
when I called it fan service.
FAN SERVICE
Oh, I almost forgot.
I'll send you the money for your work.
Oh, okay. Thank you for your time.
I know you have a lot on your mind.
A lot on my mind?
But that stuff about me is not true.
Oh. Sure, of course.
All right, then.
Bye.
What was that about?
-Does she have a boyfriend?
-Oh God!
Okay, so…
Is that why she rejected you?
I know it's not true
when you give me fan service like that.
Being a top star is a tough job.
Yes, Mr. Do.
CEO DO WON-JUN
J BAR
For members only?
Why did you want to see me?
Let's have a drink first.
Cheers?
Oh, okay.
I heard Kang-ho had made
a faux pas in front of you.
What faux pas?
But even to my eyes,
you did appear to really like Kang-ho.
That's probably why
Kang-ho didn't expect to get rejected
and did it.
What did he do?
How should I put it…
Like a gesture that shows he likes you?
Mr. Nam Kang-ho said he likes me?
He did that without even telling you?
That bastard--
Wait, did he say that I rejected him
after he told me that he liked me?
You didn't reject him?
Were you just playing hard to get?
No, I don't do stuff like that.
Are you disappointed right now?
Yes.
I really wish everything would go well
between you two.
God, it pains me
to see you two like this.
But you found me "unsettling."
What?
I heard it all on speakerphone.
Oh, back then, there was
some misunderstanding on my part--
I'm sorry.
Is your misunderstanding resolved now?
But there was nothing to resolve
in the first place.
Okay. If you look at this, well,
it does appear
that Kang-ho made the move, right?
Who took this photo?
It was an anonymous informant.
I got them from a reporter I know.
Will this be released to the public?
Probably.
But it was taken without consent!
We can take legal action.
Would you like me to stop it?
No. Could you perhaps just
admit to everything?
A love affair
with Kang-ho.
Oh, why can't you say it?
"It turns out the informant was wrong!"
