Beauty and Mr. Romantic (2024) s01e09 Episode Script

What are you doing?
Why are you
staring at me like that?
Why did you hit me?
What was that for?
There was a mosquito.
A mosquito
was trying to get your blood,
so I had to kill it for you.
A mosquito? Where?
Over there.
- Where?
- My gosh.
The weather today is amazing.
Look at the sky.
It's nothing like yesterday.
It's not raining today.
What a refreshing breeze.
I should go and enjoy it.
Where's the darn mosquito?
Are they breeding already?
That really hurt.
Do Ra has a really painful slap.
What's wrong?
Do Ra!
(Episode 9)
What is it, Do Ra?
Look over there.
There's a rainbow.
Gosh. You're right.
Red, orange, yellow,
green, blue, indigo, violet. Gosh.
I've never seen
a rainbow this clear.
Isn't it beautiful?
Pil Seung.
What do you think this means?
Is our drama going to be a hit?
When you screamed,
I got scared and wondered
if something was wrong.
My gosh.
I even got to see a rainbow.
It feels like I'm on a different planet.
I love it here. It's great.
There are no restaurants or cafes,
and no other people and you like it?
Yes. That's why I like it.
You won't know how I feel.
I felt like a caged monkey at a zoo.
Wherever I went,
people whispered and stared.
Whenever I ate, yawned,
or dozed off while waiting to shoot,
they'd take photos
without permission.
Then they'd say
I didn't look pretty in real life,
or had plastic surgery
or some kind of procedure.
If I felt tired
and tried to get away,
they'd say
I was being rude and mean.
But here,
there's no one to stare at me,
or take photos in secret.
Such perfect freedom.
I haven't felt this in so long.
This freedom.
I feel alive.
Pil Seung.
How much
does an island like this cost?
Why?
I should buy this island
and build a vacation home
to live in after I retire.
You'll have to make
lots of money, then.
Right?
I'll work even harder,
make even more money,
buy this island,
and create my own Do Ra's world.
Even if I wore a bikini
and walked all the way to the sea
and back, no one would see.
You're so excited.
Just the idea makes me happy.
If you want to visit
You can.
No, thanks.
You slapped me to catch a mosquito.
What else would you do to me here?
Hey, a boat.
A boat's coming. We're saved!
We're over here!
Over here!
Why did the boat get here so soon?
They could've taken longer.
The bride by Chairman Gong's side
was the girlfriend who was
going to marry the Korean student
because she'd gotten pregnant.
What?
That woman was Jin Taek's wife?
You mean that was Ma Ri's mom?
Goodness.
What on earth?
She deceived the whole family.
She should've at least been
a good wife.
She ruined our family
by failing to care for one child.
The darn thing.
The evil thing.
What should I do about this?
What should I do?
Hello, Auntie.
Auntie.
I made abalone porridge,
your favorite.
It came out nicely.
Here you go.
Have some and get well soon.
How dare you bring this
when I'm ill because of you?
Auntie.
I won't eat the porridge you made.
It's dirty and disgusting.
You shameless thing.
You have no conscience.
It's dirty?
Auntie.
Why are you venting at her again?
If you want to vent,
talk to me instead, not her.
Goodness.
Honey.
You're not in the right!
- Honey.
- You have no conscience!
Darling. Wait.
I'll apologize instead. I'm sorry.
I can't take it anymore.
I did what I could to appease her,
but I've done enough.
Calm down.
I'll talk to her
so she never does this again.
She got upset when Ma Ri
talked back at her a few days ago,
and she's even more sensitive now
because she's not well.
I know it's hard on you,
but can you try to understand
just this once?
Why is it just this once?
How can you say that
after seeing how she treated me?
What else am I supposed to do?
I understand you even less now.
Fine.
Ma Ri and I will move out.
Do as your aunt wants
and find another wife.
Get her to give you an heir
or hire a surrogate. Do as you want.
Honey.
How could you say that?
What am I to do
if you react like this too?
What did she do so wrong
that you're making such a fuss?
I wanted and hoped to live with you
for a long time.
I think you should go to the US.
In return, I'll visit you often
in the US.
- Jin Taek.
- Let's do that.
You keep acting the way you do,
and you're leaving me
with no choice.
Jin Taek.
There's something I must tell you.
Okay. Go ahead.
Your wife. Ma Ri's mom.
She
No.
He wants me to go to the US
because I upset a bowl of porridge.
If I relay the story with no proof,
he's bound to say
he'll never see me again.
Jin Taek's the type to do that
if he decides to.
What about Ma Ri's mom?
- What were you going to say?
- No.
It's nothing.
I guess I'm getting old and frail,
and I get sensitive about nothing.
I thought about our clan
and reputation too much,
and I gave you a hard time.
Auntie.
I'm sorry, Jin Taek.
I won't do it again.
I'll apologize to Soo Yeon
for going too far.
You could've said that sooner.
You know
I consider you
a mother figure, don't you?
I know that.
I won't give you
a hard time anymore.
You can get back to work.
Will you be okay on your own?
Don't you be silly. I'm not a child.
Don't mind me and return to work.
Okay. I'll go, then.
Hello, Madam Cho. Where are you now?
I'm on Jeju Island now.
I'm on vacation with my family.
You are?
When are you coming back to Seoul?
I'm coming back
the day after tomorrow.
Why do you ask, Madam Gong?
Madam Cho,
I have a favor to ask of you.
About the thing you told me
the other day.
Can you meet up with Chairman Gong
and tell him that?
You want me to tell him about it?
I'm afraid I can't.
Put yourself in my shoes.
Would you let it slide
if this was about your son?
I know what you mean, but
You saw it yourself, so he will
believe it if you tell him that.
So, Madam Cho, please go
to Chairman Gong with me
and tell him about it.
I'm begging you.
I'm not sure if I should do that.
I'll take responsibility
for what happens afterward.
I promise there won't be anything
that makes you uncomfortable.
Fine. Then I'll give you a call
when I'm back.
Okay. Thank you, Madam Cho.
Give me a call
as soon as you come back.
All right.
Jin Taek should hear it
from Madan Cho
and find evidence himself.
Otherwise, he won't understand
what's going on.
Mom, things are
so peaceful and nice in the house
without Great Auntie around.
I wish she would go
straight back to the US.
Ma Ri.
Why?
After Great Auntie came here,
things have been a mess here.
And you frown all the time.
Your face has gotten ugly
because of Great Auntie.
So why don't we tell Great Auntie
to go back to the US?
Ma Ri, you shouldn't say
things like that.
Why not? We have to put up with her
just because she's the elder?
That's
I think that's unreasonable.
Auntie Dae Sook,
when did you come back?
I just got here.
If I knew you'd come today,
I would've gone to pick you up.
There's no need.
I just went to get some rest
on an IV.
Soo Yeon.
Now that I think of it,
I was being too harsh on you.
I'm sorry for the trouble
I have caused.
I apologize.
I'm old,
so I guess I have too many worries.
I hope you can understand me.
I talked to Chairman Gong too.
I'll be more careful.
Well It's all right.
I'm home.
What? Why is the light off?
Where's everyone?
Mom. Dad.
Grandma.
Even Grandma isn't home.
Where did everyone go
at this time of night?
Gosh, Pil Seung. You're home.
I just got here.
Where have you been?
- Gosh.
- Dad.
What?
Why do you have a band-aid
on your forehead?
Don't get me started.
Your dad went to work
at a construction site,
and he almost died.
We've just come from the hospital.
What?
Dad, did you work
at a construction site?
I got fired from my job.
So I was going to find some money
so I could start some fancy business
dressed in a suit.
But it was the wrong choice.
From now on, whether it is
at a warehouse or at a construction site,
I want to work
doing everything on my own.
So don't try to stop me.
Mom, you can't stop me.
I can't idle away my time
at home anymore.
I understand how you're feeling,
but you're too old to work
at a warehouse or a construction site.
She's right, honey.
You should do
something less challenging.
What if you get injured again?
My heart sank when I got the call
from the hospital.
So, honey, take your time
and find a job you can do.
It's not like an easy and nice job
is waiting for me to find it.
In this day and age, I should
be grateful that I can work.
And I hurt myself
by mistake today
because I was being such a bungler.
It won't happen again.
You guys should stop that now.
Oh, dear.
Sun Young,
the whole thing happened
because of your constant nagging
for more money.
You've been so haughty
just because you own this house.
Mom, that's not true.
Why do you keep blaming her?
Do you not know
why I'm being like this?
Anyway, I don't want you guys
to get on my case anymore.
I know what I'm doing. Gosh.
Pil Seung.
Do Ra.
Do Ra, you always
pretend to be strong,
but you're a coward.
Why can't I stop
thinking about Pil Seung?
What's wrong with me?
No way.
No, that can't be true.
Park Do Ra,
what are you thinking about?
That's right.
Pil Seung was
my first love after all.
I met him again after 15 years,
so I was reminded of the old days
and got a little confused.
Park Do Ra, you're not supposed
to date a guy at work.
Pull yourself together!
This is driving me crazy.
I wonder what he's doing now.
(Curly-haired Assistant Director)
("Straightforward Romance")
What?
How can he be so cute?
He was cute back in high school,
but he's even cuter now.
Some guys get ugly as they grow,
but Pil Seung is getting
more handsome over time.
My gosh.
Gosh.
Gosh, what am I doing now?
Why am I looking at his photos?
Whether he's cute or not,
it has nothing to do with me.
Do Ra, just go to sleep.
Go to sleep this instant.
Sleep, Do Ra.
(CEO Gong Jin Dan)
She called you a romantic.
She also said you were adorable.
Women don't say
that just about anyone is adorable.
Is it finally time
to give her this necklace?
Once Do Ra receives this,
she will totally fall for me.
This is from CEO Gong Jin Dan.
- CEO Gong Jin Dan?
- Yes.
- Thank you. Goodbye.
- Goodbye.
Gosh, this is gorgeous.
Look at the size of the necklace.
It's brilliant.
I must say Mr. Gong is
in a different league from us.
Do Ra.
It's so pretty.
It looks great on you.
Do you like it?
Yes. It's beautiful.
My gosh.
Do Ra, turn around.
- What?
- Now.
Hang on a second.
Look. This is totally your style.
Right.
By the way, Mom,
did you buy this yourself?
We have a necklace
that looks just like this.
Why would I pay money to buy this?
Mr. Gong just sent this to you
with some flowers.
What? Mr. Gong Jin Dan?
Why would he send me
something so expensive?
And why did you accept it?
Give it back right away.
You can't receive a gift like this.
Why would we give it back?
Mr. Gong sent it
because he was interested in you.
Hey, Do Ra, don't be like that.
Why don't you try
going out with Mr. Gong?
I'm not saying this
because of the necklace.
I think he's a really nice guy.
Mom. I said I wasn't
interested in Mr. Gong.
Do Ra, I don't want to give up
on a son-in-law like this.
Why do you say no
even before going on a date?
Wait. Is it because
you're seeing someone
without telling me?
Is that why?
I'm not seeing anyone.
That's not why.
I can't go out with a man
whom I'm not interested in.
I'm not in need of money.
Why would I take this?
Give it back right away.
I'm off to work.
But Do Ra, come on.
Why isn't she interested
in Mr. Gong
when she isn't seeing anyone
in particular?
Not anyone can send over
a necklace like this.
Is it easy to find a man in Korea
who can send a necklace
of this quality as a gift?
Unbelievable.
Did you receive the gift I sent?
I hope Do Ra liked it.
What am I going to do?
Oh, dear.
(CEO Gong Jin Dan)
Do Ra was thrilled
to have received this gift from you.
Of course.
What?
(Ms. Baek Mi Ja)
How can she be this pretty?
Her eyes
sparkle brighter than diamonds.
What? It's Do Jun.
Do Jun!
Do Jun, my boy. Have you been well?
Please tell me
you've been studying hard.
Are you healthy
and have been eating well?
You always ask me
if I've been studying hard
or eating well.
I'm not a kid, you know.
You'll forever be a kid in my eyes.
Do Jun, you know
who I earn all this money for.
I know it all too well.
That's why I've been studying
my butt off like any other day.
Gosh, my boy.
Do Jun, aren't you going to visit
during spring break?
I miss you like crazy.
I can't make it this year.
I have a lot to catch up on.
That's too bad, I guess.
Instead, once I wrap up
this project,
I'll fly over to the States. Got it?
Right, but don't overexert yourself.
Sure thing, Do Jun.
Do Jun, they're calling me
for my next scene.
I'll talk to you later.
Bye.
Jae Dong, tell me.
How do I look today?
I've been meaning to mention it.
I bet you didn't get
much sleep last night.
Were you still shocked
from being left behind?
The bags under your eyes
are down to your jaw.
What?
Like this.
Do Ra, I need to take this call
from Ms. Baek.
- The bags under my eyes can't show.
- Yes?
(Park Do Ra)
- Assistant Director Ko
- Gosh.
- Are you all right?
- Yes, I'm good.
Here. Let me carry that for you.
- But it's fine.
- It's no big deal.
Sook Ja, are you kidding me?
Who is she to grab onto him?
How dare she flirt with him on set?
I bet that was on purpose.
This is a tough scene
and injuries may easily occur,
so please be thorough
with their line of action.
- Sure.
- Of course.
Park Do Ra walks from here fuming,
- and Bong Soo grabs her shoulder.
- Grabbing.
Do Ra shakes him off
but loses her balance.
Bong Soo breaks her fall
but they end up rolling down.
Their eyes lock
and then kiss.
Director!
I'd like to rehearse this
in person
with Assistant Director Ko.
We're only checking
the flow of movement,
so you can sit this out.
You'll be going over it later
with Bong Soo.
Rehearsals or whatnot,
I'd like to go over the scene myself
since it can be tricky.
Won't I be filming the scene
instead of my double?
Gosh, this passion and drive!
Talk about being a professional.
Our show is going to be a hit!
Honey, wait. Hear me out.
- Let go of me.
- You shake him off
and he breaks your fall
as you stumble.
Cut. Okay.
All right, lay out the blanket.
We'll rehearse them rolling down.
Ms. Park, are you sure
about doing this yourself?
Yes.
Don't roll down so much, then.
Okay, here we go.
Be careful.
Pil Seung
Pil Seung, please wake up.
Director Hong!
Director Hong! Jae Dong!
Someone call an ambulance.
Pil Seung, please wake up.
Pil Seung, don't die.
Please open your eyes.
Pil Seung!
Ms. Park.
Please stop wailing.
You're numbing my ears.
I guess I was too invested
in my character just now
and believed that this was real.
Well,
I mistook my situation
and believed
I was working the scene
with Bong Soo.
Can we take a short break?
I was so lost in character
that the emotions hit hard.
I expected nothing less
from an actress of her level.
My gosh.
Of course.
Have I lost my mind?
What did I do
in front of all those people?
This is humiliating.
Do Ra, you
What is it?
Are they snickering at me?
Could you and Bong Soo
be in a situationship?
Don't tell me
you have a crush on him.
What kind of nonsense is that?
Don't you get started
with me as well
and get me a freezie
to help me cool down.
Got it. A freezie.
Me and Cha Bong Soo?
You've got to be kidding me.
Hold on. That's actually better.
At least they don't think
I have a crush on Pil Seung.
Besides,
actors can get caught up
in the moment
when acting out a scene
and let the emotions
get the best of them.
I hope no one saw through me though.
Darn, I must have lost my mind.
What is wrong with me?
Mom, what kind of nonsense
are you spewing?
Tell me about it.
Your brother wants his son-in-law
to be his successor,
and your aunt wants him
to father another child
through a mistress or a surrogate.
They were at each other's throats,
but for some odd reason,
your aunt retracted her claws.
She must be cooking something up.
Gosh, Mom.
Mind your own business, will you?
How can I not be bothered by it?
It's frustrating
and my ego is bruised.
Why are they fighting over this matter
when they have you?
You're part of this family too.
Mom, I told you not to worry.
Jin Taek isn't one
to have a child out of wedlock.
Besides,
even if that were to happen,
it would take forever
to raise that child.
And a son-in-law, did you say?
Mom,
nobody decent will think
of marrying Ma Ri.
Tell me about it.
In the end, APP Group
will fall into my hands.
There's no need for us
to be anxious.
Only I can succeed Jin Taek.
I'm the only eligible member
of the Gong family.
That's true.
By the way, who is the woman
you've been seeing?
The curiosity is killing me.
Gosh, Mom. I told you to be patient.
I almost have her.
That's why I want you to tell me.
Or I'll have to hire someone
to look into it.
Which family is she from?
Mom.
You know Park Do Ra, right?
Park Do Ra?
Which family is she from?
Come on.
I'm talking about
the actress Park Do Ra.
Didn't you watch "Windy Gang Poong?"
She played the female lead.
We watched it together, remember?
What? That Park Do Ra?
Seriously. Have you been dating
some lowly actress?
Have you lost your mind?
This isn't happening.
Just wait until your brother
or aunt finds out.
They already look down on you.
You can forget APP Group
and even Angel Investment Corp.
for that matter.
No way. This can never happen.
End it before others find out.
Mom, don't talk about her like that.
I haven't met a woman
like Park Do Ra before.
So this time around,
you'll turn a blind eye to it.
I won't marry anyone that isn't her.
You film in the afternoon tomorrow,
so I'll pick you up then.
Sure. You did great today.
Drive home safely.
Bye.
Who's calling me?
I don't recognize the number.
Hello?
Is this Actress Park Do Ra?
Yes, this is she.
May I ask who's calling?
This is CEO Gong's mother.
Pardon?
I'll cut right to the chase.
Break it off with Jin Dan.
This relationship
will never be approved.
Sorry?
I don't get what you're saying.
Gosh.
Why can't a Korean
understand her native language?
You are to let my Jin Dan go.
Our family will never approve
of him dating some lowly actress.
I think you are mistaken.
There's nothing going on
between me and Mr. Gong.
If this is about us
watching the musical together,
you truly have the wrong idea.
Mr. Gong invited me
to see the musical together,
and I went with him
to thank him for investing
in the show I'm filming.
That's all there is to it.
Is that true?
Is there nothing more to it?
No.
I'm afraid I'm not interested in him
in a romantic way.
Not at all?
Not at all.
Do you mean that?
Yes.
Nothing's going on
that requires us to break up.
Honestly,
I don't know why I should
be taking this from you.
I'll get going, then.
Wait.
By the way,
I believe it's wrong to look down
on someone's profession
by calling it lowly.
What the That cheeky girl.
What now, Mom? I'm busy.
Are you kidding me?
Park Do Ra
isn't interested in you at all.
She only went to see
the musical with you
because you invited her.
You idiot.
I can't believe
you've been chasing her skirt
when she isn't
even interested in you.
Mom, did you meet with Park Do Ra?
That's right.
And I told her to let you go.
I told her to break up with you,
but she said
you weren't even dating.
Why would you do that?
Who are you to meet with her?
- Darn it.
- What?
Where are you going?
Are you off to see that minx?
She isn't interested in you!
Ms. Park, I heard you met my mom.
I'm sorry about this.
She must've caught you off guard.
She did.
She had the wrong idea
that we were dating.
But that's not the case with us.
I told her
that I wasn't
romantically interested in you.
What are you saying?
Weren't we just starting to go out?
Sorry?
Mr. Gong, I don't think I follow.
When did we
I never thought about it that way.
Call me flustered.
Then,
why did you watch
the musical with me
and accept the necklace I gave you?
You told your mother
that I seemed like a decent guy.
I thought you were also
interested in me.
It's true
that I see you as someone decent.
But there is nothing romantic
about it.
I'm fond of you as the sponsor
who invested in the drama series.
As for the musical
My mom suddenly
came down with a stomachache,
and I ended up seeing
the musical with you alone.
Never did I consider it as a date.
Also, I told my mom
to return the necklace,
and I thought she had returned it.
I'll check again
if you didn't get it back.
I apologize if my actions
involuntarily led to you
having the wrong idea about us.
Are you saying
that I've been fantasizing
our relationship all on my own?
I'll be more careful on my end,
so I hope nothing like this
happens again.
I'll get going, then.
Why does she want me
to return something this pretty?
I'll make sure
that Do Ra and Mr. Gong
end up together no matter what.
Only then will I be able to survive.
Gosh.
Yes, it's me.
What?
Everyone is gathered?
Please place your bets.
Three.
- Call.
- Three, call.
Please reveal your cards.
It's a straight.
There.
Beaten by a flush.
Here.
Pal, when have I ever
gone around wearing a fake?
Stop fidgeting with that
and give me my money.
Sure. I'll get it to you right away.
My gosh!
Seriously?
Baek Mi Ja, you.
And you call yourself a human being?
Why
Why did you come here
after losing all that money you had?
My gosh.
Should I just cut off my wrist?
What can I do about you?
I gambled away Do Ra's payment
I received in advance.
How am I going to pay
the interest next month?
What am I going to do?
Hey, Do Ra. What's up?
Mom, where are you?
Me?
I went out to see a friend.
Why?
Didn't you return the necklace
Mr. Gong gave me?
Oh, that? I still have it.
Why? I've been busy, you see.
I told you
to give it back right away.
How could you have kept it?
Not returning it
led to a weird misunderstanding,
and Mr. Gong's mother
came to see me.
What?
Mr. Gong's mother came to see you?
Why?
She thought I was dating her son
and told me to break up with him.
She wanted me gone.
Why should I hear such things
from Mr. Gong's mother?
Hey, Do Ra. So what did you say?
What else would I say?
I told her
I was not interested in her son,
and made it clear
nothing was going on between us.
So return that necklace
to him soon, okay?
Hey, Do
What should I do? What do I do now?
(CEO Gong Jin Dan)
It's him.
Oh, my gosh.
What should I do?
Ms. Baek.
What's going on?
He's calling me "Ms. Baek" now,
not "Mother."
He must be really angry.
This isn't good.
No, Baek Mi Ja.
Keep your wits about you.
Even if you're in a tiger's den,
if you stay alert, you can get out.
Mr. Gong. What's happening is
You said
Do Ra was interested in me too.
But she said no.
That she's not
interested in me at all.
She even said she'd told you
to return the necklace.
Why did you let your mother
visit Do Ra and talk to her
about you in person?
What?
Do Ra was never once
embroiled in a scandal.
As you know, she's a prideful girl
who is very exact,
and she doesn't open up
or give her heart easily.
But that girl went with you
to a musical without anyone else.
I think
my Do Ra was interested in you.
If your mother hadn't shown up
and made such a fuss,
I can confidently say
Do Ra would've
opened up to you even more.
Are you saying
it's my mother's fault?
My Do Ra's one of
the top actresses in the country.
Put yourself in her shoes.
She's so full of pride
and it took a bad hit.
How miserable must she feel?
If I'm this upset with you,
how do you think she feels?
I apologize.
I didn't think that far.
Mother, could you tell Do Ra
What should I do now?
Right now, apologizing
will only make things worse.
I think you should wait for a while.
I'll do my best to console Do Ra.
Will you really do that?
Thank you, Mother.
I'm in your debt yet again.
And the necklace.
Can you say for now
that you got it back?
When Do Ra feels a little better,
I'll pass it to you in secret.
Yes, okay.
My mother will never visit again.
Please don't be angry, Mother.
Will you forgive me?
Please, Mother.
I'm so darn upset.
You have no idea how hurt I am.
That was so close.
Do Ra. Drink this before you go.
What is it?
Boiled pear, jujube,
and balloon flower root with honey.
Oh, right.
Did you return the necklace
Mr. Gong gave you?
Yes, I did. You told me to.
Do Ra. Here's some motherly advice.
Give Mr. Gong some serious thought.
Not just because he's rich.
I think he's a really nice guy.
He likes you a lot.
I think he'll cherish you forever.
Give him a chance. Just this once.
Mom. I'll date a guy
my heart gravitates toward.
So don't mention
Mr. Gong again, okay?
See you.
You brat.
She'll date the guy
her heart gravitates toward?
Is she seeing someone?
Is it Cha Bong Soo?
Do Ra.
Is she seeing someone?
Do Ra has a boyfriend?
No, I don't think so.
Really?
Then how are things
with Cha Bong Soo?
Actors fall in love with each other
while working on projects.
Did you notice anything
between them?
They've gotten more amicable now,
but they were at
each other's throats at first.
It won't be Cha Bong Soo.
I think it's impossible.
Really?
Ms. Baek. I have to get back
before Do Ra's shoot ends.
- Oh, yes. You should go.
- Okay.
Hey, Jae Dong.
- Keep a close eye on Do Ra.
- Okay.
- See you.
- Bye.
- Take care.
- Thanks.
(CEO Baek Mi Ja)
Mom.
You were fine for a while.
What's up now?
Do Ra's a grown-up. Leave her alone.
Why can't she date?
We're so close to becoming in-laws
with APP Group's chairman,
which is a massive blessing,
and you want me to let it go?
Do you think we'll get
another shot like this?
Are you saying that
CEO Gong Jin Dan likes Do Ra?
Hello.
How did Pil Seung grow up so nicely?
Why is he so handsome?
My gosh. What's up with me again?
I said I wouldn't do this.
Get a grip, Park Do Ra.
Yes. I was so scared
on the deserted island
that I relied a bit too much
on Pil Seung, that's why.
I should blame the memories
of naive 12-year-old Do Ra.
Do Ra. Open your eyes wide
and get a good look.
How is that
curly-haired guy handsome?
Darn it.
- Oh, dear.
- Are you okay?
It's fine. It's just a small cut.
Hang on.
I have ointment and a band-aid.
- I can manage.
- No, your hands are dirty.
Mr. Ko!
Assistant Director Ko.
Who, me?
I have something to say.
Can I have a word?
Okay.
Thanks.
What is it? Is there a problem?
Well
You know
So
I miss the tteokbokki
from last time,
and it kept me up last night.
Could you come with me again today?
You know I can't go on my own.
You yelled at me that loudly
to say that?
Was my voice that loud?
Yes. It was so loud
I thought something was wrong.
Sorry.
I didn't notice
because I had my earphones in.
Anyway, I end early today,
so you'll come with me, right?
Okay.
Park Do Ra. Why the heck
did you mention tteokbokki?
Why do you care
if Pil Seung puts ointment
and a band-aid on his finger or not?
Why did you yell for him so loudly?
I'll just have some tteokbokki,
and forget how I relied on him
on the island.
Little 12-year-old Do Ra's feelings.
I'll ditch them for good.
- You have lunch
- That's right.
with Chairman Kim at noon.
Okay.
- Let me help.
- You go ahead.
Yes, sir.
Pil Seung.
- Sir. How are you?
- Hi.
I heard someone would be
shooting out here today.
It's your team?
Yes. We're done and are packing up.
Are you?
How about you join me for some tea?
Are you free?
Yes, I am.
When your grandfather
suddenly passed,
you were in high school, right?
Yes.
Thank you so much
for coming to pay your respects.
That high-school student grew up
into a nice young man.
I was surprised
to see you last time.
My wife told me who you were.
I didn't recognize you at all.
I did do quite a lot of growing.
You did.
How did you become so tall?
My mother cooked me meat every day.
She said I should eat well
to gain energy and study hard.
Every day I ate meat,
fruit, and milk.
And one day,
I started to feel that
the ground was becoming distant.
What? The ground was
becoming distant?
Yes. So I told Mom.
"Mom, the ground
appears to be so far away."
Mom laughed a lot
when she heard that.
You're funny.
- Let's drink.
- Thank you.
We never know when we will
run into each other in life.
I can't avoid her every time.
No. So we should clear things up
and let nature take its course.
All right. No woman says no
to a designer bag.
A woman holding grudges against me
might ruin my whole life.
Welcome.
Welcome.
It happened before,
and it's happening again.
Why do her eyes look so pretty?
What's going on?
Is my vision getting bad?
Excuse me.
Can I talk to you for a moment?
Why would I? Do you know me?
Please don't be like that.
It won't take long.
Listen.
Don't you see that I'm working here?
If you aren't going
to order something, please leave.
One cappuccino, please.
(Naphant)
Bye. I'll see you tomorrow.
Are you leaving
without doing the writing work?
We have
an unwelcome guest here today,
and I don't want him
to ruin my writing.
- See you tomorrow.
- Okay.
Wait. Hang on a second.
Please give me a minute.
Why? What is it you want to say?
Why are you doing this to me?
Well Here.
What's this?
You know this brand, right?
I think I hurt your feelings deeply.
I'd like us to end things well.
Let's say this is a band-aid
for your wounded heart.
Here.
You're a real jerk.
Don't ever show your face
to me again.
Do you understand, you scumbag?
Hey. Wait.
It's not like that.
You know what?
I'd rather be dumped
or abandoned by someone.
But I've never made a woman cry
in my whole life.
And I think I hurt you so deeply.
I feel really bad about that.
Can't you just accept my apology?
- What is the scumbag talking about?
- Well
What
It hurts.
- I got you some tea.
- Okay.
Thanks.
I like the color of the tea.
And it's so aromatic.
Thank you for everything, honey.
And for putting up with Auntie.
I know she's like a mother to you.
I have no choice.
If I don't put up with her,
you'll cry.
Why would I cry? I'm not a child.
Auntie said
she wouldn't give you
a hard time ever again.
She promised me.
Okay. Don't push yourself too hard.
Oh, right.
I met Pil Seung earlier today.
What? Why did you meet him?
Why is that so surprising?
Am I not supposed to see him?
Well It's not like that.
But why would you meet Pil Seung?
How did you meet him?
Did you call him?
How would I call him
when I didn't even have his number?
I just ran into him.
He was filming a drama
in front of my office today.
So we had some tea together.
I was glad to see him.
I see.
By the way,
he seems like a nice guy.
The more I see him,
the more I like him.
You do?
So I was thinking, honey
What do you think of Pil Seung
as Ma Ri's spouse?
What?
Is he a celebrity or what?
He's just walking on the street,
but how can he look so handsome?
And when did he grow to be so tall?
Is he really the Dae Chung
I used to know?
He looks even nicer than a model.
Park Do Ra, you're here
to eat some tteokbokki.
Don't forget that you're not
the 12-year-old Park Do Ra anymore.
Just think of tteokbokki.
Think only about fish cake.
Let's go.
Okay.
What? It's closed.
I should've called.
You came here for nothing.
Do Ra, I'll buy some
when we film a scene in the afternoon.
I'm afraid we have to go.
Pil Seung, I don't want to go back
without doing nothing
after coming this far.
Let's eat some fish cake
somewhere else.
I'm hungry.
Okay. Let's do that.
Gosh, the soup is amazing.
- Gosh.
- It's so refreshing.
It really is.
Pil Seung, do you want some soju?
Is it okay to drink?
I'm not working tomorrow.
It's okay to have a few shots.
And I don't get many chances
to have fish cake with soju
at a food stall like this.
I haven't been to a place like this
for a long time
unless it was for a shoot.
There aren't many people here.
Okay. Let's just have one bottle.
Excuse me. We'll have soju,
hagfish, and pork belly cartilage.
Okay.
Hagfish and pork belly cartilage?
That sounds great.
I have butterflies.
- What? Butterflies?
- Yes.
What kind of woman gets butterflies
because of hagfish and cartilage?
Let me fill your glass.
Thank you.
And fill yours.
Cheers.
Pil Seung.
I'm feeling great now.
This reminds me of the old days.
I'm so happy.
I love this place.
Are you happy drinking soju
with some hagfish
at a shabby food stall like this?
You must've been
to so many nice places.
Some nice and fancy restaurants.
No. It's hard to explain,
but this feels somewhat liberating.
Thank you, Pil Seung.
For drinking soju with me here.
I guess I've been feeling
quite frustrated.
Gosh.
I knew it.
Soju tastes good when you drink it
at a food stall like this.
It's so sweet.
Pil Seung, one more bottle?
No. We've had enough.
No, it's okay. I'm not drunk at all.
Are you drunk?
No.
I'm not drunk either.
Ma'am, we will have
another bottle of soju.
One more bottle, please.
- Cheers.
- Cheers.
Pil Seung
Don't you have a girlfriend?
This is what I got
from watching you.
You work on set on weekdays
and go to the broadcasting station.
Even on your day off,
you're at the broadcasting station.
Your girlfriend would hate that.
Hey, as if I have one to begin with.
I don't have the time for one.
Things are hectic enough
with just my work.
I need to get things ready on set
and run errands.
I then have to keep you
in a good mood,
and the same goes for Bong Soo.
On top of that,
I have things to research.
I go to work as soon as I wake up.
When I get home, it's already 10 p.m.
Of course. How can
he have a girlfriend
when he works day and night?
You.
Do you know what my dream is?
It's to direct my own project
and create a TV series
loved by the entire nation.
That's why "Straightforward Romance"
must be a huge hit.
Only then will I get
to debut as a director.
So stop asking me useless things.
All I care about
is "Straightforward Romance"
having the best ratings.
Nice.
This passion you have
for our series.
The passion!
And for that,
I'll let you drink
the rest of this soju.
- Here.
- Here.
Pil Seung, only be interested
in your work, okay?
Got it.
Be a workaholic.
Jung Mi!
Don't forget what I said.
It'll be one year.
In a year's time, we'll meet again.
Jung Mi!
Pil Seung, on my way here,
I saw that Sol Hair Salon
was still in business.
How did things go with Jung Mi?
Did you ever get to meet her again?
Jung Mi,
did you say?
- There.
- It kicked.
Our babies must be strong.
We'll soon meet.
What the
That's his college acceptance form
and ID card.
What a weirdo.
(College Acceptance)
(College Acceptance)
Pil Seung, are you crying?
Are you still heartbroken
about how things ended with Jung Mi?
How could I not cry?
What the
We promised to get back together
once I got into college
and came of age.
But she walked by me
on the street pregnant with twins.
Wouldn't you cry
if you were in my shoes?
When I think of that day,
my heart
gets torn into pieces again.
Into several tiny pieces.
My youth
ended right there and then.
What a joke.
What?
Your youth
ended right there and then?
Your heart was torn into pieces?
Are you writing lyrics to a song?
Hey. As if you know anything
about love.
As if you know how it feels
to have your heart crushed
by love.
You know,
when a man and a woman
have feelings for one another,
age doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Hong Do
Don't cry
Hey, lady!
Why are you smiling at me?
Am I that handsome?
Wait. Is that so?
I guess I can't deny it.
My mom always tells me
how pretty I am
and smiles at my handsome face.
Your darling is here for you
(I am a complete moron.)
Hey, lady!
(Beauty and Mr. Romantic)
When should we meet tomorrow?
Once Jin Taek hears about
that vixen's promiscuous past
from Madam Cho,
he will not let it slide.
He'll be too appalled by her
to keep her in his life.
It didn't just say "fool."
I was called a complete moron.
And I strolled around
the neighborhood
with this stuck to my back.
I'll find whoever wrote this.
Did you see
who stuck this on my back?
I've been signaling you
time and time again
regarding my feelings for you.
Only a complete moron
would be daft enough
not to notice it,
you complete moron!
This isn't a joke,
so hear me loud and clear.
I have feelings for you.
