RECORD OF YOUTH
Why did you call Hae-hyo first and not me
when something good happened?
Because you're busy.
But despite that,
I never once ignored your text
and even made time to come to see you.
Even with that hectic schedule of yours,
you've been doing your best.
But you see,
I'm trying my best too.
It will be brief,
so I should make you comfortable.
It will be brief,
so I should make you happy.
It will be brief, so I should be happy.
I'm sorry.
Are you happy right now?
You have everything you wanted
and your career took off
in a far better way than you predicted.
But you also seem like our dads.
The dads that never had a life
because they had a family to provide for.
CHI-YEONG
Your job's calling you.
Yes.
I should get going.
Are you feeling okay?
I'm sorry.
What are you apologizing for this time?
I didn't know that you were trying
to accommodate my schedule.
Don't worry about it.
I know that making an effort
in your position is harder.
That bothers me, too.
I wanted you to be
free and happy more than anyone
in the world when you were dating me.
But I feel like you're
fenced in because of me.
But in return, I get your love.
I'm glad you know.
Walk me to my van.
You rarely ask me to do that.
I really don't have time today
so I can't walk you back
even if I want to.
-That only gives us five minutes.
-Five minutes?
I'll take whatever I can get.
Will you walk me to my van?
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine…
I'm a bit late.
I'll get dinner ready soon.
Guess what this is.
-What? Where did you get that money?
-My father gave it to me.
He got paid for the ad.
How much is it?
It's 800,000 won.
I won't take it. It's not that much.
The amount isn't important.
This is my first allowance from my father.
When I was young,
it was always my mom and not him.
I'm sure it came from him, though.
Anyway, he never gave me
any money in person.
What should I do with this money?
Is there anything you want?
-I want to buy clothes.
-Buy some shoes, too.
I'll buy yours, too.
It's hard to spend my son's money,
but not my father's.
It's not hard at all.
Five, six, seven, eight…
Now that you're full,
the world seems a bit nicer, right?
Let's discuss this again.
Should I make some tea?
Sounds great.
Let me help.
There's no need.
He can do it then. You can rest.
I didn't mean it.
How annoying.
She wants to boss me around.
There's something I don't get.
How can it legally count as contempt?
Actually, your response to his comment
doesn't legally count as contempt.
-Can he be sued for something worse?
-There's nothing worse than that.
The legal requirements for contempt are
different for a response to a comment.
Look at this comment.
In this comment, he wrote
that he's Kim Min-sik from Suyu-ri.
This comment identifies
a specific individual,
so he can use responses
below this comment to sue for contempt.
Other vicious comments can't be admitted
as evidence because it was
written before he identified himself.
So you were sued
because of these two responses.
But these responses aren't that vicious.
I wasn't done. Why did you cut me off?
But what I wrote wasn't that bad.
I was just pointing out
what you were going to say, Mr. Sa.
Why are you addressing me like that?
You're much older than I am.
Well, I have to get going, Min-jae.
I'm sorry. Go on.
To sum it up,
these comments,
"You brainless jerk," "Asshole,"
and "A pervert who watches porn at home,"
can be legally counted as contempt.
Don't be stubborn.
Just write a letter of apology.
Write more than one letter.
I haven't changed my mind.
I have done nothing wrong.
I won't write a letter of apology.
Do it for Hye-jun's sake.
What will people say if they found out
you wrote hate comments?
No one will know I'm his brother
unless I disclose it.
I don't want to apologize to his hater.
You must be out of your mind.
LEE TAE-SU
-Hello?
-Hye-jun,
I think it's finally time
for me to properly help you.
What?
Do you have any idea
what tomorrow's headline will be?
What will it be?
-Let's meet in person.
-I'm at a shoot now.
I'll meet you there.
Mr. Lee, I don't know
what kind of article you're talking about
or how it will affect me,
but I won't accept your help.
Why not?
I know a hefty bill
will be waiting for me if I do.
Thanks for your concern anyway.
Hye-jun, they're starting now.
If this ends early, you'll be able to get
about three hours of sleep.
Okay.
Am I filming with Hae-hyo tomorrow?
I like seeing him every day.
All right. Let's get ready.
RECORD OF YOUTH
KIM I-YEONG
Why didn't you answer it?
EPISODE 14
I made ricotta cheese salad
and broccoli soup.
Eat before you go.
I woke up early to meet
your schedule. I'm so tired.
Despite that,
I still wanted us to be on good terms.
Will you not accept my effort?
I hate myself lately.
I thought it would go away
after some time.
But as time passes,
I just get angrier and angrier.
What are you doing?
What do you think? I was waiting for you.
Because I said…
Because…
I'm sorry.
Let's try again.
-What are you doing?
-What do you think?
-I was waiting for you.
-Because I said I…
Because…
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
What do you think?
-I was waiting for you.
-Because I said…
Because I said…
"I would give you my stocks".
I would give…
I'm sorry.
Hey, punk.
Did you practice your lines or not?
Didn't you study your line?
It's not even a difficult scene.
When will you stop messing it up?
Gosh.
Sir, can we take a short break?
Let's take a break.
Let's take five!
What's wrong?
This is my second time asking.
You still don't want to talk?
I can't help you if you don't talk to me.
How can you help me?
I have to help myself.
I want to help you.
It's embarrassing.
To you more than anyone.
I can't face you
because I feel small next to you.
I have to go.
We're going to a buffet
for Jin-ri's birthday.
We're leaving, too.
You guys have the same jacket.
My mom likes this.
It looks good on you.
-You should wear it, too.
-Right.
People might think you guys are twins.
Mom.
Hey.
-Why are you out here?
-I'll buy you those shoes you wanted.
You're becoming more generous
now that you've started working.
-Does it make you happy?
-It does.
I work for Hae-hyo's family now.
What?
Why are you avoiding me?
I don't want to hang out with you.
Go.
I told you to go!
Hey.
Why are you crying?
Tell me
if I did anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Then, why don't you want to be my friend?
-Can you get him a cup of warm water?
-We have carbonated water and sandwiches.
He throws up everything he eats
when he's stressed.
Mom!
-You're home.
-Yes.
I brought Jin-u.
Hello, ma'am.
Hi, Jin-u.
You said we could see each other.
And you've met him before.
I wanted to hang out at home
instead of going outside.
So is this how you're going to play this?
-Jin-u.
-Yes, ma'am.
Let's go sit down.
You go get us something to eat.
He's our guest. We should be hospitable.
I'm not a guest.
You are.
Jin-u, friends are as important
as your own family.
Hae-hyo, Hye-jun, and you
have been friends since elementary school.
If you try to become a family with Hae-na,
you will lose Hae-hyo.
Even if Hae-na invited you to our house,
you should have refused.
I thought you were
decent enough to know that.
I'm disappointed in you.
I'm sorry.
Hae-na, give me your cards.
Is that the best you can do
to go against me?
Until today,
I thought Jin-u was a decent guy.
But seeing how he followed you here today,
I think I made the right decision.
He didn't do anything wrong.
I insisted on coming here.
Where is he now?
He left.
So he's smart enough to realize
that he should leave.
I was worried
he might not be smart enough.
You'll never get your way.
End it with him before your dad finds out.
If he finds out,
he will mock my life
and everything I've achieved so far.
Come out already.
Why are you dressed up
when you're going shopping?
I'm Sa Hye-jun's mother.
I have to look presentable.
You never know what will happen.
Can't you just say you dressed up for me?
No, I can't.
What about this one?
No, not that. I want to buy a jacket.
Right. It's just a jumper.
A jacket does look fancier.
Look.
Checkered patterns don't suit you.
-Try this.
-I don't like it.
Where can I try this on?
Excuse me.
Let me help that gentleman first.
You can try it on over there.
I see.
Your wife is stunning.
-You can take it.
-No, you can take a look first.
Let me know if you'll take it.
I'll just pick out a different one.
Gosh. Thank you.
What are you doing?
-Pardon?
-Why are you looking at my wife?
Because I have eyes.
I know that you have eyes.
Why did you look at her?
I had to turn toward her
to look at the clothes.
What are you doing? I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
-Sir, I also have a wife.
-Then why are you here alone?
Can't a man shop alone?
Must I get permission from you?
Must I…
My wife is calling me.
Honey.
I met a strange man
at a clothing store just now.
Let's go shopping together next time.
You look good.
Do you find me that beautiful?
What?
The more I think about it,
the funnier it is.
You should always be nice to me.
Don't get jealous over a stranger.
Something about him was off.
He was handsome.
You must be mad to think he's handsome.
We had a meal and went shopping.
Did we spend all the money?
I invited Jang-man's family.
I want to give them some fruit.
Okay. We can just
stop by at a supermarket.
DID CHARLIE JUNG CALL SA HYE-JUN
BEFORE HIS SUICDE?
What are they saying?
Was Sa Hye-jun Charlie's boyfriend?
I knew it.
DID CHARLIE JUNG CALL SA HYE-JUN
BEFORE HIS SUICDE?
WAS SA HYE-JUN THE LAST PERSON
TO TALK TO THE LATE CHARLIE JUNG?
PUBLISHED BY REPORTER KIM SU-MAN
SA HYE-JUN WAS THE LAST PERSON
TO TALK TO THE LATE CHARLIE JUNG
Can I put you on hold, Ji-a?
I keep getting calls.
Yes, this is JJamppong Entertainment.
No, it's false news.
I'm dealing with it as we speak.
Sure thing. Thank you.
Hey, Ji-a.
Could you send me the press release
if you're done revising it?
I need to publish it.
We need a plan.
I'll sue them both,
the paper and the reporter.
Right.
Come by if the lawyer can't.
SUPERSTAR SA
Yes, Hye-jun.
Have you read the article?
Yes, but don't worry.
I'm going to sue them.
You weren't the last person he talked to.
He called, but you never picked up,
and then he died a few days later.
I'm sure at least one person
called him during that time.
And they even said
you got a text when you didn't.
-I'm too furious to even think straight--
-I received his text.
You did?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why do I have to tell you?
Why leave out something so important?
Because it was private.
That's all the more reason for me to know.
Did you two perhaps talk about… You know…
Liking one another?
-Are you going to show me the texts?
-I'll go to the office after my schedule.
Gosh, Jeong-ha. I love it.
Do you like it?
I'm glad.
You don't seem so pleased though.
Are you worried about Hye-jun?
He must really be a superstar.
Everything he does becomes an issue.
What will it mean
if Hye-jun really was the last one
to talk to Charlie Jung?
I'm sure it's not true.
Why don't you ask him?
It's hard for me to ask him
because he might get hurt.
If it were me, I'd want to be asked
even if I could get hurt.
Especially if it's by the one I love.
SA HYE-JUN WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION
AGAINST FALSE RUMORS
This will do for the article.
What did the text say?
I haven't seen it either.
We'll take legal action against the press
after we read the text.
That won't change anything.
Still, I'd like to know all the details
before we move forward.
Only then will I be able to handle
all the variables.
What about the meeting tomorrow then?
Do we proceed as planned?
Yes.
Thanks, Ji-a.
I'm glad to have someone
I can consult with at any time.
How about a snack?
We have some cake. Do you want some?
-No, I'm--
-Just a second.
Come in!
Min-jae.
You're here early.
I was so worried that I hurried over.
Maybe I should
let you guys talk in private.
Well…
Hello.
She's Hye-jun's girlfriend.
I see.
Yes, hello.
So Ji-a… You see--
Min-jae, why are you stuttering?
I'm lawyer Jung Ji-a.
I work at Ilmok Law Firm as an associate
and I'm working on Hye-jun's case.
I'm An Jeong-ha. I'm a makeup artist.
AN JEONG-HA
-Sit. I'll get you some tea.
-I should get going.
I don't usually make
house calls like this,
but I've been paying more attention
because it concerns Hye-jun.
DAD
Is he not answering?
He must be busy.
Then leave a text.
Hold on.
Yes, Gyeong-jun.
What did I say about calling me at work?
It's urgent.
Did you read Hye-jun's article?
I did.
We get tabloid articles here.
Let's have a family meeting this evening.
It'll be just us if Hye-jun's busy.
But I have plans tonight.
Cancel.
I can't. Anyway, don't worry too much.
-There's nothing you guys can do anyway.
-We can't just sit around and do nothing.
I'm sure Ms. Lee has a plan in motion.
There's no plan.
Another bomb goes off
whenever we're done handling one.
Min-jae,
you're doing great.
I'd love to stay and chat with you,
but I need to be at Hye-jun's.
Then get going.
You told me how you're going to handle it,
so I'm putting my faith in you.
Whenever Hye-jun has a break he goes
to see you. No matter how short it is.
Sometimes, I feel bad for him .
I just want him to get more sleep.
That's how much he cares for you.
I think it's better to love someone
than to receive love.
It's nice to be on the receiving end,
but being grateful for it
just makes me feel bad.
It's why I didn't want to be
in a relationship at first.
HYE-JUN
HYE-JUN
HAE-HYO
JI-A
Can I have a moment?
Hello?
I stopped by your office.
Did you read the article we published?
I did. Thanks.
I'm meeting with Min-jae tomorrow.
-You're not coming, right?
-I'll be on set.
Anyway, I can't talk long.
Why are you so cold to me?
Aren't you busy?
Like I told you, I'm done for the day.
Why come to me
instead of going home to eat?
Have you been starving?
You have something on your face.
I was only pointing at it.
I wasn't going to wipe it for you.
Wipe off your own face.
How's Hye-jun doing?
What do you mean?
How's he doing emotionally?
Happy as always.
How can he not be
when he's a superstar now?
I admire his strength.
He must be unfazed by those articles.
There's no need for me to worry.
What articles?
You haven't read them?
How can you be so indifferent?
You're his best friend.
I've been dealing with some stuff, so I
didn't have time to care about others.
Still?
Can something that serious happen to you?
Can't anyone be faced
with a serious problem?
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It's not like you know what my issue is.
I never told you.
It's my fault, so don't apologize.
What's the issue?
It's my family.
-Good job today.
-Good job.
Seriously?
I'm the one who should be saying that.
I said I'd go there alone.
I'm not fond of going
to the police station either.
Whatever.
Wait for me!
Where did you write this comment?
Detective, please note
that it was a response to another comment.
Yes, I'm aware.
-Are you his wife?
-Detective!
What the hell?
Shame on you.
She's over ten years older than I am.
SA GYEONG-JUN
Goodness, my apologies.
You look older.
Or maybe I look younger?
I wrote them at home.
Are you the one who wrote this?
Here. Go ahead and read it.
"I'm laughing my ass off.
You're Charlie Jung's boyfriend.
How dare you drag Hye-jun into this,
you brainless punk."
If I'm brainless,
you must be a chicken head.
Calm down and sit back down.
Why did you write this?
Because he defamed Hye-jun
and spread false information.
It's why he was sued
and he wrote a letter of apology.
He's willing to settle if you do the same.
But I did nothing wrong.
Hey, I dare you to say that again.
You did nothing wrong?
He's crazy.
You're the one who's crazy.
You know nothing about Hye-jun anyway.
If you hadn't done it,
I wouldn't have reciprocated.
We're the reason
that celebrities even make money.
Who gives them their fame?
It's my money they're living off on,
so why can't I badmouth them?
We all live off on each other
in that sense.
Our lives are all entangled.
Why take it out on celebrities?
Are you a celebrity?
Is Sa Hye-jun your brother or something?
If he's actually your little brother,
I'll apologize and drop the suit.
Hold on.
Isn't your family name "Sa" as well?
He's your brother, right?
Why would I keep my job
if he were my brother?
I'd quit in a heartbeat.
I'm just an ordinary member of society
who wants to right the wrongs.
I guess you could call me an activist.
I'm fighting against
those who disguise their cowardly acts
by using anonymity as a cover.
I see we have a true activist among us.
Carry on then because I won't settle.
Then don't. I'd rather pay the fine.
With cases involving hate comments,
showing remorse is key.
If the victim doesn't settle, you could
pay a fine and get caught in a civil suit.
I'll make sure you end up
behind bars, you punk.
Civil suits don't involve prison time.
You just can't help yourself, can you?
I'm sorry, sir. He'll write the apology.
I won't!
Never!
You seem exhausted.
Show me the texts.
Only then I can plan what to do next.
It's nothing important.
If that's the case,
why won't you show it to me?
All right. Send screenshots of this to me.
-Why?
-To release them publicly.
Don't.
I want to protect his reputation.
Being gay won't ruin his reputation.
You're the one who's biased
if you think that.
These texts only show that he was humane.
We'll think of another way.
Why should we,
when there's an easy way out?
Because he's a person.
He's not a business deal we're handling.
Fine.
I can hang in there if you can too.
Your brother was sued
by the man who wrote
hate comments about you.
Every time TOP wrote hate comments
he did the same to him.
He's refusing to apologize
or write a letter of apology.
I had no idea that there was this much
brotherly love between you guys.
It's news to me too.
Why did he do it?
-What if his colleagues find out?
-My thoughts exactly!
Damn it.
Next, let's talk about Jeong-ha.
What about her?
For the time being,
be careful when you see her.
The same reporter threatened
to write about you two dating.
-Don't tell Jeong-ha about this.
-She already knows.
When the reporter called,
she was next to me.
Chi-yeong,
drop me off near Jeong-ha's place
and head home.
You did good today.
Ms. Lee will scold me if she finds out.
She was adamant about
me driving you straight home.
She won't find out
unless you tell her.
You're right.
Looking for me?
Are you sure about this?
Someone might see us.
Let them.
When did you get so bold?
I was always this way.
Didn't you know?
I did.
Sorry.
Why didn't you tell me?
Is that why you mentioned the paparazzi?
Yes.
I was worried you'd want to go public.
That's why I kept quiet.
Why don't you get mad at me?
Why aren't you upset that I'm not around?
Because I don't want to be
like my parents.
Why date or live with someone
just to be angry and annoyed all the time?
My family gets angry and annoyed
with one another
all the time.
Maybe you're afraid of conflicts.
Are you getting back at me
for saying you're like our dads?
Conflicts aren't always bad.
It can also give us the tools
to understand each other better.
That's the best-case scenario.
We could also end up loathing each other.
Our arguments
will never make us hate one another.
Why? Because I love you.
You seem touched.
It seems to me that
you're trapped in an outdated notion
where you see me as someone
you need to protect and take care of.
You just had to kill the mood.
You should head home and get some rest.
Are you tired?
There's tomorrow to prepare for.
I'm meeting a client at 7 a.m.
Lee Hae-ji,
the client Hae-hyo introduced me to,
introduced me to another actress.
My client list has been getting longer.
Then I'll put my name down
for the next time slot.
Is it empty?
Of course, Mr. Sa.
By the way,
has something been troubling Hae-hyo?
I actually don't know.
It's embarrassing.
To you more than anyone.
I can't face you
because I feel small next to you.
While walking up and down this street
countless times,
I repeatedly experienced despair and hope.
Eat up.
I bought all the ingredients yesterday
to make gimbap for you.
You don't have to make them
if you're tired.
It's not tiring at all if you enjoy it.
Hye-jun, did you know?
Crocodile leather bags can't get wet.
Why not? Crocodiles live in water.
That's what I said.
I learn a lot from the rich families
that I work for.
Like what?
At first, I envied them a lot.
I've never been rich, you know.
-The same goes for you.
-That's right.
But it's not a big deal.
Money can definitely make your life easy,
but my favorite place on earth
is our home because you're here.
So what have you learned?
That it's not a big deal?
No, that we don't need to feel small.
Why aren't you resting at home?
I can't really see my place from here.
But from my place, I can find your house
in no time.
We live in the same neighborhood,
but your family can't see
where my family lives,
so you can live as if we don't exist.
But we can't do that.
We try not to think about it,
but all the dazzling bright lights
around your house
make us dream.
"I want to be rich too."
I was so embarrassed in front of you
when we were in third grade.
But that's when we became true friends.
You have no reason to be embarrassed.
My background aside,
I wanted to beat you on my own
without any help,
because you're so awesome.
Thanks.
But my mom was meddling
in every aspect of my life.
I was clueless and cocky.
I've made my social media private.
Why?
Because I found out
that it's not solely my own.
My mom was controlling that too.
I haven't reconciled with my dad yet.
That was one of my biggest issues
in the past.
Parents are the problem.
They assume their kids
would think they're perfect.
BEST MALE ACTOR
SA HYE-JUN
SA HYE-JUN
THANK YOU FOR BECOMING AN ACTOR
This is my room.
I wanted my own room for years,
and I finally have it.
I needed a room where I could cry alone.
Are you happy right now?
You have everything you wanted
and your career took off
in a far better way than you predicted.
I am happy.
Because in this room,
I can cry all I want
without being interrupted.
This plant is doing well.
I never skipped watering it
even when I don't have time to eat.
Take a seat.
Your face is a bit puffy. I'll go get
something to help with the puffiness.
You're good at your job.
I sure am.
Just talking about the day-to-day stuff
is what I love the most.
Have you sued those people yet?
Min-jae is meeting with a lawyer.
OUT NEWS
WAS SA HYE-JUN THE LAST PERSON
TO TALK TO THE LATE CHARLIE JUNG?
I went through the article,
and this is the part
that can be considered defamatory.
This says Hye-jun is A,
Charlie Jung's boyfriend.
It's considered defamation according
to Article 307 of the Penal Code.
But the entire article is false.
We can only sue them for that?
If the article was published
to deliberately slander him,
there will be additional penalties
based on Article 309 of the Penal Code
as well as on the Information
and Communications Network Act.
The company itself should be held
accountable for releasing this article.
Can't we sue them too?
Just sue the reporter. That way,
the reporter will take a bigger hit.
THE FIRST HUMAN
You're already here.
To get used to the set.
I see. I hope
the viewership rating goes up this week.
All is well, right?
-Yes.
-Hello, Director.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
After your police interview tomorrow,
the complaint will be sent out.
-Did the director say anything to you?
-No, nothing much.
There are posts demanding you
be removed from the show.
-Because of the article?
-Yes.
Let's reveal the text message.
Time will tell the truth.
Gosh, you and I don't see eye to eye
on this.
Did Gyeong-jun say anything?
I haven't seen him yet.
Do your best to persuade him.
I'll try to get you a day off next week.
Okay, that'd be nice.
I have to see Jin-u
and speak with my family.
We'll start in ten minutes.
Okay! Let's go.
Min-jae said she'll give me
an entire day off next week.
You should do the same.
Let's eat something,
go for a walk, and talk.
Are you stressed?
I am.
Life is hard.
I don't know what to do.
I see that you've been doing some thinking
like a grown-up man.
Love is a luxury to me,
but I've fallen in love.
Me too.
But I think it really helped me grow.
It's all thanks to Jeong-ha.
Hae-na isn't Jeong-ha.
I think all relationships help us grow.
I saw Hae-hyo.
I've been neglecting you guys
since I got busy.
I'm not sorry at all.
Dude.
You guys are my friends,
so I know you'll always be there.
And you stay there too.
I'll make up my mind
on the pressing matters and come back.
I want to treat your parents to dinner.
Jin-ri too.
My mom will be thrilled to hear that.
Oh, did you know?
-What?
-Your dad's shoulder is acting up again.
My dad said he shouldn't work.
-Do you think he's up?
-I'm not sure.
-Just go in.
-No, let's not wake him up.
We'll call him in an hour.
He told my dad not to tell your family.
Especially you.
Mom.
Hey! Were you out?
Yes, to see Jin-u.
What's for lunch?
What do you want to eat?
Anything.
I'll be happy with anything you make.
-Is Gyeong-jun awake?
-Probably not. He took the day off.
FIRE SA HYE-JUN
SHOULDN'T HE QUIT ON HIS OWN?
Everyone wants him out.
Gosh, I should stop thinking about this.
What's with you, Sa Gyeong-jun?
Since when were you
so interested in Hye-jun?
Come in.
What's up? What's going on?
Why are you stuttering?
Are you hiding something?
What? What would I hide from you?
Let's talk in my room.
Everyone will hear us if we talk here.
Did your manager say something?
Wow, Dad really put his skills to use.
Look at this room.
I want him to renovate my room too.
Stop trying to change the topic.
What do you mean?
Why won't you write a letter of apology?
-I didn't do anything wrong.
-It's wrong to insult someone.
That's…
Have you heard of "mirroring"?
Cut the crap. Just be good to me
on a day-to-day basis.
The person you insulted
keeps on posting hate comments
and is on the list for the second lawsuit.
Good.
First-timers only get fined,
but those who do it again
can get a jail sentence.
We may have to settle with him
because of you,
although we shouldn't.
Don't! That bastard deserves to be fined.
Then you'll get fined too.
I don't want that.
I meant every word I wrote in my comment.
Apologizing will make it untrue.
Why did you do that?
Did it make you angry
that he spoke ill of me?
But you belittle me too.
I've never belittled you.
You see,
I hated being poor.
Sure, I got good grades in school.
Our family was proud of me,
but I had such low self-esteem.
So I just took my anger out on you.
That's all.
So just write a letter of apology.
Do it for me.
Apologize for the abusive, mean things
you did to me.
I'll apologize verbally.
"I posted
a belittling, insulting comment
in response to what you wrote."
What do I write next?
"I flew into a rage
when I read your comment."
No, a true apology
shouldn't be centered around how I felt.
"I am sorry.
I posted such a hurtful, insulting comment
and didn't even realize
the seriousness of it.
What a shame.
All of this happened because
I'm ignorant and didn't know any better."
Good, right?
You're good.
The key here is the word, "ignorant."
"I apologize."
REPORTER KIM SU-MAN
How's it going?
-So-so.
-Come on. Don't give me that.
You can go very far
with just a little bit of help.
I'm meeting the director of A June.
Do you want to…
Hello?
Hello, this is Sergeant Han U-tae
from Seocho Police Station.
-Is this Ms. Kim Su-man?
-Yes, I'm a reporter.
Then you probably know about this.
We've received a complaint
and need you to come in.
A complaint about what?
About you defaming Mr. Sa Hye-jun.
What?
I have to call you back.
I can't believe this.
They actually filed
a complaint against me.
How dare they!
That's nuts. They really are fearless.
Hire a good lawyer. This won't be easy.
Sir! Are you just going to leave?
Teach them a lesson.
How dare they do this to a reporter?
Cover the makeup artist he's dating.
You said it can't be an exclusive.
It'll be huge if he ditched her.
Let's be honest.
There's no way he's still with her.
He's a hotshot now.
Why do you suddenly want to eat out?
We could've met at the restaurant.
Why make me come home?
I don't want to tell the kids,
so you do it.
You'd do anything for them.
What's wrong? Did you guys fight?
It'd be inaccurate to say we fought.
I made a reservation.
Tell the kids to join us.
Why does it feel as if you're upset
every time you see me?
Because I am.
I want us to look happy
even if it's just on the outside.
The kids will understand if you're there.
Hae-hyo, your drama is popular these days,
but no one talks about you.
That's not true.
My sister's friends have become fans
-and want his autograph.
-My secretary hasn't said anything.
Youngsters' opinion is what matters.
Hae-na, how are your studies going?
I'm doing my best, as I always do.
Why did I suggest this?
I must've been out of my mind.
Why are you eating like a bird?
Let's have some wine.
Hae-hyo, pour me a glass.
I want beer.
I don't care what you want to drink.
Honey, do you want beer too?
As you can see, I'm having wine right now.
It's rude to suggest beer to someone
who's drinking wine.
What did I even expect from you?
Hey, why do you get so angry
whenever you see me?
Because you make me angry!
Honey, why don't you go see a shrink?
It could be perimenopausal--
I'll see a shrink if you see one first.
You're not going anywhere?
You took a day off.
No, I'm staying in.
Oh, boy.
-Mom.
-Yes?
Hey, just sit down. You must be tired.
Gyeong-jun.
Come help me.
Darn it.
That's no way to talk to your mother.
Dad, you're really hurting my feelings
these days.
Why? You're just saying that.
No, I'm not.
You built and decorated his room.
-I'll redo your room too.
-Mine as well.
Why are you getting involved?
I gave you money.
Okay, I'll do it.
It's so nice that everyone's here
including Hye-jun.
-How long has it been?
-It's been a while, Mr. Sa Min-gi.
Is work going well?
Yes, I hired a manager.
What? Seriously?
Who?
-Me?
-Yes, you.
Just help me out.
It's a lot for me to handle.
You don't know how much longer
I have. I'm old.
Fine, we'll talk another time.
Okay, some other time. Not tomorrow.
You even have a manager.
You're a celebrity now.
Now, there are two celebrities
in our family.
-Should I become one too?
-Just serve the soup.
-Bring the soup.
-It's delicious.
-This looks good.
-Thanks for the meal.
Ms. Kim, what's bothering you today?
-Can you tell that I'm in a bad mood?
-You always make it obvious.
Sa Hye-jun sued me.
You had it coming.
Do you know what I did?
-Did you stomp all over him?
-No.
But he'd better brace himself
for what's coming.
MIN-JAE
-Hey, Min-jae.
-Are you seeing Jeong-ha today?
-How did you know?
-Don't.
Kim Su-man just published a story
on you two,
with photos.
ACTOR SA HYE-JUN IS DATING A MAKEUP ARTIS
We shouldn't meet today.
The story is already out.
Not meeting today won't change anything.
See you. Let's go for a bike ride.
THEY HAVE BEEN DATING
FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR
REPORTER KIM SU-MAN
OUT NEWS
Hello.
-This is an appointment-only studio.
-Ms. An Jeong-ha, right?
-Yes.
-I'm Reporter Kim Su-man from Out News.
Can we talk over a cup of tea?
Are you waiting for someone?
I don't think I can meet today. Sorry.
I hope the talk goes well.
I'm sorry, Min-jae.
This is the only place
where we can talk comfortably.
I know.
Next up is a story about the actor
Sa Hye-jun.
He now has to pay a penalty
for a breach of contract.
His public image has taken a hit,
which violates the terms of his contracts.
The brands have filed a claim
for compensation,
so it looks like he'll have to pay them
hundreds of millions of won.
Why is it so hard to see you?
I know.
I'm sorry for making you wait that day.
You've already apologized multiple times.
It's okay.
It's so nice to finally see you
and talk in person.
Yes, it is nice.
I'm going to take it easy now.
I've been working nonstop
because I was anxious.
I mean, how did I get this far?
By doing your best
and working diligently.
You're rational,
and you never inconvenience others.
Also, you're so passionate about acting.
That makes me sound so awesome.
Thanks for seeing all of that.
Today is all about
saying "Thank you," not "I'm sorry."
I love you.
Let's break up.
I never thought
I'd end up in a relationship
that's so cliché.
RECORD OF YOUTH
That's enough.
Sa Hye-jun has changed
since he blew up, didn't he?
Is it about my boyfriend?
I thought you were different from me,
but you had that article published
in no time.
An agent should know
what their client is thinking.
I'm good at that.
-You?
-You?
I can hire you at our company too.
You can't do this alone.
I did something really bad.

RECORD OF YOUTH
Why did you call Hae-hyo first and not me
when something good happened?
Because you're busy.
But despite that,
I never once ignored your text
and even made time to come to see you.
Even with that hectic schedule of yours,
you've been doing your best.
But you see,
I'm trying my best too.
It will be brief,
so I should make you comfortable.
It will be brief,
so I should make you happy.
It will be brief, so I should be happy.
I'm sorry.
Are you happy right now?
You have everything you wanted
and your career took off
in a far better way than you predicted.
But you also seem like our dads.
The dads that never had a life
because they had a family to provide for.
CHI-YEONG
Your job's calling you.
Yes.
I should get going.
Are you feeling okay?
I'm sorry.
What are you apologizing for this time?
I didn't know that you were trying
to accommodate my schedule.
Don't worry about it.
I know that making an effort
in your position is harder.
That bothers me, too.
I wanted you to be
free and happy more than anyone
in the world when you were dating me.
But I feel like you're
fenced in because of me.
But in return, I get your love.
I'm glad you know.
Walk me to my van.
You rarely ask me to do that.
I really don't have time today
so I can't walk you back
even if I want to.
-That only gives us five minutes.
-Five minutes?
I'll take whatever I can get.
Will you walk me to my van?
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight, nine…
I'm a bit late.
I'll get dinner ready soon.
Guess what this is.
-What? Where did you get that money?
-My father gave it to me.
He got paid for the ad.
How much is it?
It's 800,000 won.
I won't take it. It's not that much.
The amount isn't important.
This is my first allowance from my father.
When I was young,
it was always my mom and not him.
I'm sure it came from him, though.
Anyway, he never gave me
any money in person.
What should I do with this money?
Is there anything you want?
-I want to buy clothes.
-Buy some shoes, too.
I'll buy yours, too.
It's hard to spend my son's money,
but not my father's.
It's not hard at all.
Five, six, seven, eight…
Now that you're full,
the world seems a bit nicer, right?
Let's discuss this again.
Should I make some tea?
Sounds great.
Let me help.
There's no need.
He can do it then. You can rest.
I didn't mean it.
How annoying.
She wants to boss me around.
There's something I don't get.
How can it legally count as contempt?
Actually, your response to his comment
doesn't legally count as contempt.
-Can he be sued for something worse?
-There's nothing worse than that.
The legal requirements for contempt are
different for a response to a comment.
Look at this comment.
In this comment, he wrote
that he's Kim Min-sik from Suyu-ri.
This comment identifies
a specific individual,
so he can use responses
below this comment to sue for contempt.
Other vicious comments can't be admitted
as evidence because it was
written before he identified himself.
So you were sued
because of these two responses.
But these responses aren't that vicious.
I wasn't done. Why did you cut me off?
But what I wrote wasn't that bad.
I was just pointing out
what you were going to say, Mr. Sa.
Why are you addressing me like that?
You're much older than I am.
Well, I have to get going, Min-jae.
I'm sorry. Go on.
To sum it up,
these comments,
"You brainless jerk," "Asshole,"
and "A pervert who watches porn at home,"
can be legally counted as contempt.
Don't be stubborn.
Just write a letter of apology.
Write more than one letter.
I haven't changed my mind.
I have done nothing wrong.
I won't write a letter of apology.
Do it for Hye-jun's sake.
What will people say if they found out
you wrote hate comments?
No one will know I'm his brother
unless I disclose it.
I don't want to apologize to his hater.
You must be out of your mind.
LEE TAE-SU
-Hello?
-Hye-jun,
I think it's finally time
for me to properly help you.
What?
Do you have any idea
what tomorrow's headline will be?
What will it be?
-Let's meet in person.
-I'm at a shoot now.
I'll meet you there.
Mr. Lee, I don't know
what kind of article you're talking about
or how it will affect me,
but I won't accept your help.
Why not?
I know a hefty bill
will be waiting for me if I do.
Thanks for your concern anyway.
Hye-jun, they're starting now.
If this ends early, you'll be able to get
about three hours of sleep.
Okay.
Am I filming with Hae-hyo tomorrow?
I like seeing him every day.
All right. Let's get ready.

Why didn't you answer it?
EPISODE 14
I made ricotta cheese salad
and broccoli soup.
Eat before you go.
I woke up early to meet
your schedule. I'm so tired.
Despite that,
I still wanted us to be on good terms.
Will you not accept my effort?
I hate myself lately.
I thought it would go away
after some time.
But as time passes,
I just get angrier and angrier.
What are you doing?
What do you think? I was waiting for you.
Because I said…
Because…
I'm sorry.
Let's try again.
-What are you doing?
-What do you think?
-I was waiting for you.
-Because I said I…
Because…
I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
What do you think?
-I was waiting for you.
-Because I said…
Because I said…
"I would give you my stocks".
I would give…
I'm sorry.
Hey, punk.
Did you practice your lines or not?
Didn't you study your line?
It's not even a difficult scene.
When will you stop messing it up?
Gosh.
Sir, can we take a short break?
Let's take a break.
Let's take five!
What's wrong?
This is my second time asking.
You still don't want to talk?
I can't help you if you don't talk to me.
How can you help me?
I have to help myself.
I want to help you.
It's embarrassing.
To you more than anyone.
I can't face you
because I feel small next to you.
I have to go.
We're going to a buffet
for Jin-ri's birthday.
We're leaving, too.
You guys have the same jacket.
My mom likes this.
It looks good on you.
-You should wear it, too.
-Right.
People might think you guys are twins.
Mom.
Hey.
-Why are you out here?
-I'll buy you those shoes you wanted.
You're becoming more generous
now that you've started working.
-Does it make you happy?
-It does.
I work for Hae-hyo's family now.
What?
Why are you avoiding me?
I don't want to hang out with you.
Go.
I told you to go!
Hey.
Why are you crying?
Tell me
if I did anything wrong.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Then, why don't you want to be my friend?
-Can you get him a cup of warm water?
-We have carbonated water and sandwiches.
He throws up everything he eats
when he's stressed.
Mom!
-You're home.
-Yes.
I brought Jin-u.
Hello, ma'am.
Hi, Jin-u.
You said we could see each other.
And you've met him before.
I wanted to hang out at home
instead of going outside.
So is this how you're going to play this?
-Jin-u.
-Yes, ma'am.
Let's go sit down.
You go get us something to eat.
He's our guest. We should be hospitable.
I'm not a guest.
You are.
Jin-u, friends are as important
as your own family.
Hae-hyo, Hye-jun, and you
have been friends since elementary school.
If you try to become a family with Hae-na,
you will lose Hae-hyo.
Even if Hae-na invited you to our house,
you should have refused.
I thought you were
decent enough to know that.
I'm disappointed in you.
I'm sorry.
Hae-na, give me your cards.
Is that the best you can do
to go against me?
Until today,
I thought Jin-u was a decent guy.
But seeing how he followed you here today,
I think I made the right decision.
He didn't do anything wrong.
I insisted on coming here.
Where is he now?
He left.
So he's smart enough to realize
that he should leave.
I was worried
he might not be smart enough.
You'll never get your way.
End it with him before your dad finds out.
If he finds out,
he will mock my life
and everything I've achieved so far.
Come out already.
Why are you dressed up
when you're going shopping?
I'm Sa Hye-jun's mother.
I have to look presentable.
You never know what will happen.
Can't you just say you dressed up for me?
No, I can't.
What about this one?
No, not that. I want to buy a jacket.
Right. It's just a jumper.
A jacket does look fancier.
Look.
Checkered patterns don't suit you.
-Try this.
-I don't like it.
Where can I try this on?
Excuse me.
Let me help that gentleman first.
You can try it on over there.
I see.
Your wife is stunning.
-You can take it.
-No, you can take a look first.
Let me know if you'll take it.
I'll just pick out a different one.
Gosh. Thank you.
What are you doing?
-Pardon?
-Why are you looking at my wife?
Because I have eyes.
I know that you have eyes.
Why did you look at her?
I had to turn toward her
to look at the clothes.
What are you doing? I'm sorry.
Why are you apologizing?
-Sir, I also have a wife.
-Then why are you here alone?
Can't a man shop alone?
Must I get permission from you?
Must I…
My wife is calling me.
Honey.
I met a strange man
at a clothing store just now.
Let's go shopping together next time.
You look good.
Do you find me that beautiful?
What?
The more I think about it,
the funnier it is.
You should always be nice to me.
Don't get jealous over a stranger.
Something about him was off.
He was handsome.
You must be mad to think he's handsome.
We had a meal and went shopping.
Did we spend all the money?
I invited Jang-man's family.
I want to give them some fruit.
Okay. We can just
stop by at a supermarket.
DID CHARLIE JUNG CALL SA HYE-JUN
BEFORE HIS SUICDE?
What are they saying?
Was Sa Hye-jun Charlie's boyfriend?
I knew it.
DID CHARLIE JUNG CALL SA HYE-JUN
BEFORE HIS SUICDE?
WAS SA HYE-JUN THE LAST PERSON
TO TALK TO THE LATE CHARLIE JUNG?
PUBLISHED BY REPORTER KIM SU-MAN
SA HYE-JUN WAS THE LAST PERSON
TO TALK TO THE LATE CHARLIE JUNG
Can I put you on hold, Ji-a?
I keep getting calls.
Yes, this is JJamppong Entertainment.
No, it's false news.
I'm dealing with it as we speak.
Sure thing. Thank you.
Hey, Ji-a.
Could you send me the press release
if you're done revising it?
I need to publish it.
We need a plan.
I'll sue them both,
the paper and the reporter.
Right.
Come by if the lawyer can't.
SUPERSTAR SA
Yes, Hye-jun.
Have you read the article?
Yes, but don't worry.
I'm going to sue them.
You weren't the last person he talked to.
He called, but you never picked up,
and then he died a few days later.
I'm sure at least one person
called him during that time.
And they even said
you got a text when you didn't.
-I'm too furious to even think straight--
-I received his text.
You did?
Why didn't you tell me?
Why do I have to tell you?
Why leave out something so important?
Because it was private.
That's all the more reason for me to know.
Did you two perhaps talk about… You know…
Liking one another?
-Are you going to show me the texts?
-I'll go to the office after my schedule.
Gosh, Jeong-ha. I love it.
Do you like it?
I'm glad.
You don't seem so pleased though.
Are you worried about Hye-jun?
He must really be a superstar.
Everything he does becomes an issue.
What will it mean
if Hye-jun really was the last one
to talk to Charlie Jung?
I'm sure it's not true.
Why don't you ask him?
It's hard for me to ask him
because he might get hurt.
If it were me, I'd want to be asked
even if I could get hurt.
Especially if it's by the one I love.
SA HYE-JUN WILL TAKE LEGAL ACTION
AGAINST FALSE RUMORS
This will do for the article.
What did the text say?
I haven't seen it either.
We'll take legal action against the press
after we read the text.
That won't change anything.
Still, I'd like to know all the details
before we move forward.
Only then will I be able to handle
all the variables.
What about the meeting tomorrow then?
Do we proceed as planned?
Yes.
Thanks, Ji-a.
I'm glad to have someone
I can consult with at any time.
How about a snack?
We have some cake. Do you want some?
-No, I'm--
-Just a second.
Come in!
Min-jae.
You're here early.
I was so worried that I hurried over.
Maybe I should
let you guys talk in private.
Well…
Hello.
She's Hye-jun's girlfriend.
I see.
Yes, hello.
So Ji-a… You see--
Min-jae, why are you stuttering?
I'm lawyer Jung Ji-a.
I work at Ilmok Law Firm as an associate
and I'm working on Hye-jun's case.
I'm An Jeong-ha. I'm a makeup artist.
AN JEONG-HA
-Sit. I'll get you some tea.
-I should get going.
I don't usually make
house calls like this,
but I've been paying more attention
because it concerns Hye-jun.
DAD
Is he not answering?
He must be busy.
Then leave a text.
Hold on.
Yes, Gyeong-jun.
What did I say about calling me at work?
It's urgent.
Did you read Hye-jun's article?
I did.
We get tabloid articles here.
Let's have a family meeting this evening.
It'll be just us if Hye-jun's busy.
But I have plans tonight.
Cancel.
I can't. Anyway, don't worry too much.
-There's nothing you guys can do anyway.
-We can't just sit around and do nothing.
I'm sure Ms. Lee has a plan in motion.
There's no plan.
Another bomb goes off
whenever we're done handling one.
Min-jae,
you're doing great.
I'd love to stay and chat with you,
but I need to be at Hye-jun's.
Then get going.
You told me how you're going to handle it,
so I'm putting my faith in you.
Whenever Hye-jun has a break he goes
to see you. No matter how short it is.
Sometimes, I feel bad for him .
I just want him to get more sleep.
That's how much he cares for you.
I think it's better to love someone
than to receive love.
It's nice to be on the receiving end,
but being grateful for it
just makes me feel bad.
It's why I didn't want to be
in a relationship at first.
HYE-JUN
HYE-JUN
HAE-HYO
JI-A
Can I have a moment?
Hello?
I stopped by your office.
Did you read the article we published?
I did. Thanks.
I'm meeting with Min-jae tomorrow.
-You're not coming, right?
-I'll be on set.
Anyway, I can't talk long.
Why are you so cold to me?
Aren't you busy?
Like I told you, I'm done for the day.
Why come to me
instead of going home to eat?
Have you been starving?
You have something on your face.
I was only pointing at it.
I wasn't going to wipe it for you.
Wipe off your own face.
How's Hye-jun doing?
What do you mean?
How's he doing emotionally?
Happy as always.
How can he not be
when he's a superstar now?
I admire his strength.
He must be unfazed by those articles.
There's no need for me to worry.
What articles?
You haven't read them?
How can you be so indifferent?
You're his best friend.
I've been dealing with some stuff, so I
didn't have time to care about others.
Still?
Can something that serious happen to you?
Can't anyone be faced
with a serious problem?
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
It's not like you know what my issue is.
I never told you.
It's my fault, so don't apologize.
What's the issue?
It's my family.
-Good job today.
-Good job.
Seriously?
I'm the one who should be saying that.
I said I'd go there alone.
I'm not fond of going
to the police station either.
Whatever.
Wait for me!
Where did you write this comment?
Detective, please note
that it was a response to another comment.
Yes, I'm aware.
-Are you his wife?
-Detective!
What the hell?
Shame on you.
She's over ten years older than I am.
SA GYEONG-JUN
Goodness, my apologies.
You look older.
Or maybe I look younger?
I wrote them at home.
Are you the one who wrote this?
Here. Go ahead and read it.
"I'm laughing my ass off.
You're Charlie Jung's boyfriend.
How dare you drag Hye-jun into this,
you brainless punk."
If I'm brainless,
you must be a chicken head.
Calm down and sit back down.
Why did you write this?
Because he defamed Hye-jun
and spread false information.
It's why he was sued
and he wrote a letter of apology.
He's willing to settle if you do the same.
But I did nothing wrong.
Hey, I dare you to say that again.
You did nothing wrong?
He's crazy.
You're the one who's crazy.
You know nothing about Hye-jun anyway.
If you hadn't done it,
I wouldn't have reciprocated.
We're the reason
that celebrities even make money.
Who gives them their fame?
It's my money they're living off on,
so why can't I badmouth them?
We all live off on each other
in that sense.
Our lives are all entangled.
Why take it out on celebrities?
Are you a celebrity?
Is Sa Hye-jun your brother or something?
If he's actually your little brother,
I'll apologize and drop the suit.
Hold on.
Isn't your family name "Sa" as well?
He's your brother, right?
Why would I keep my job
if he were my brother?
I'd quit in a heartbeat.
I'm just an ordinary member of society
who wants to right the wrongs.
I guess you could call me an activist.
I'm fighting against
those who disguise their cowardly acts
by using anonymity as a cover.
I see we have a true activist among us.
Carry on then because I won't settle.
Then don't. I'd rather pay the fine.
With cases involving hate comments,
showing remorse is key.
If the victim doesn't settle, you could
pay a fine and get caught in a civil suit.
I'll make sure you end up
behind bars, you punk.
Civil suits don't involve prison time.
You just can't help yourself, can you?
I'm sorry, sir. He'll write the apology.
I won't!
Never!
You seem exhausted.
Show me the texts.
Only then I can plan what to do next.
It's nothing important.
If that's the case,
why won't you show it to me?
All right. Send screenshots of this to me.
-Why?
-To release them publicly.
Don't.
I want to protect his reputation.
Being gay won't ruin his reputation.
You're the one who's biased
if you think that.
These texts only show that he was humane.
We'll think of another way.
Why should we,
when there's an easy way out?
Because he's a person.
He's not a business deal we're handling.
Fine.
I can hang in there if you can too.
Your brother was sued
by the man who wrote
hate comments about you.
Every time TOP wrote hate comments
he did the same to him.
He's refusing to apologize
or write a letter of apology.
I had no idea that there was this much
brotherly love between you guys.
It's news to me too.
Why did he do it?
-What if his colleagues find out?
-My thoughts exactly!
Damn it.
Next, let's talk about Jeong-ha.
What about her?
For the time being,
be careful when you see her.
The same reporter threatened
to write about you two dating.
-Don't tell Jeong-ha about this.
-She already knows.
When the reporter called,
she was next to me.
Chi-yeong,
drop me off near Jeong-ha's place
and head home.
You did good today.
Ms. Lee will scold me if she finds out.
She was adamant about
me driving you straight home.
She won't find out
unless you tell her.
You're right.
Looking for me?
Are you sure about this?
Someone might see us.
Let them.
When did you get so bold?
I was always this way.
Didn't you know?
I did.
Sorry.
Why didn't you tell me?
Is that why you mentioned the paparazzi?
Yes.
I was worried you'd want to go public.
That's why I kept quiet.
Why don't you get mad at me?
Why aren't you upset that I'm not around?
Because I don't want to be
like my parents.
Why date or live with someone
just to be angry and annoyed all the time?
My family gets angry and annoyed
with one another
all the time.
Maybe you're afraid of conflicts.
Are you getting back at me
for saying you're like our dads?
Conflicts aren't always bad.
It can also give us the tools
to understand each other better.
That's the best-case scenario.
We could also end up loathing each other.
Our arguments
will never make us hate one another.
Why? Because I love you.
You seem touched.
It seems to me that
you're trapped in an outdated notion
where you see me as someone
you need to protect and take care of.
You just had to kill the mood.
You should head home and get some rest.
Are you tired?
There's tomorrow to prepare for.
I'm meeting a client at 7 a.m.
Lee Hae-ji,
the client Hae-hyo introduced me to,
introduced me to another actress.
My client list has been getting longer.
Then I'll put my name down
for the next time slot.
Is it empty?
Of course, Mr. Sa.
By the way,
has something been troubling Hae-hyo?
I actually don't know.
It's embarrassing.
To you more than anyone.
I can't face you
because I feel small next to you.
While walking up and down this street
countless times,
I repeatedly experienced despair and hope.
Eat up.
I bought all the ingredients yesterday
to make gimbap for you.
You don't have to make them
if you're tired.
It's not tiring at all if you enjoy it.
Hye-jun, did you know?
Crocodile leather bags can't get wet.
Why not? Crocodiles live in water.
That's what I said.
I learn a lot from the rich families
that I work for.
Like what?
At first, I envied them a lot.
I've never been rich, you know.
-The same goes for you.
-That's right.
But it's not a big deal.
Money can definitely make your life easy,
but my favorite place on earth
is our home because you're here.
So what have you learned?
That it's not a big deal?
No, that we don't need to feel small.
Why aren't you resting at home?
I can't really see my place from here.
But from my place, I can find your house
in no time.
We live in the same neighborhood,
but your family can't see
where my family lives,
so you can live as if we don't exist.
But we can't do that.
We try not to think about it,
but all the dazzling bright lights
around your house
make us dream.
"I want to be rich too."
I was so embarrassed in front of you
when we were in third grade.
But that's when we became true friends.
You have no reason to be embarrassed.
My background aside,
I wanted to beat you on my own
without any help,
because you're so awesome.
Thanks.
But my mom was meddling
in every aspect of my life.
I was clueless and cocky.
I've made my social media private.
Why?
Because I found out
that it's not solely my own.
My mom was controlling that too.
I haven't reconciled with my dad yet.
That was one of my biggest issues
in the past.
Parents are the problem.
They assume their kids
would think they're perfect.
BEST MALE ACTOR
SA HYE-JUN
SA HYE-JUN
THANK YOU FOR BECOMING AN ACTOR
This is my room.
I wanted my own room for years,
and I finally have it.
I needed a room where I could cry alone.
Are you happy right now?
You have everything you wanted
and your career took off
in a far better way than you predicted.
I am happy.
Because in this room,
I can cry all I want
without being interrupted.
This plant is doing well.
I never skipped watering it
even when I don't have time to eat.
Take a seat.
Your face is a bit puffy. I'll go get
something to help with the puffiness.
You're good at your job.
I sure am.
Just talking about the day-to-day stuff
is what I love the most.
Have you sued those people yet?
Min-jae is meeting with a lawyer.
OUT NEWS
WAS SA HYE-JUN THE LAST PERSON
TO TALK TO THE LATE CHARLIE JUNG?
I went through the article,
and this is the part
that can be considered defamatory.
This says Hye-jun is A,
Charlie Jung's boyfriend.
It's considered defamation according
to Article 307 of the Penal Code.
But the entire article is false.
We can only sue them for that?
If the article was published
to deliberately slander him,
there will be additional penalties
based on Article 309 of the Penal Code
as well as on the Information
and Communications Network Act.
The company itself should be held
accountable for releasing this article.
Can't we sue them too?
Just sue the reporter. That way,
the reporter will take a bigger hit.
THE FIRST HUMAN
You're already here.
To get used to the set.
I see. I hope
the viewership rating goes up this week.
All is well, right?
-Yes.
-Hello, Director.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
After your police interview tomorrow,
the complaint will be sent out.
-Did the director say anything to you?
-No, nothing much.
There are posts demanding you
be removed from the show.
-Because of the article?
-Yes.
Let's reveal the text message.
Time will tell the truth.
Gosh, you and I don't see eye to eye
on this.
Did Gyeong-jun say anything?
I haven't seen him yet.
Do your best to persuade him.
I'll try to get you a day off next week.
Okay, that'd be nice.
I have to see Jin-u
and speak with my family.
We'll start in ten minutes.
Okay! Let's go.
Min-jae said she'll give me
an entire day off next week.
You should do the same.
Let's eat something,
go for a walk, and talk.
Are you stressed?
I am.
Life is hard.
I don't know what to do.
I see that you've been doing some thinking
like a grown-up man.
Love is a luxury to me,
but I've fallen in love.
Me too.
But I think it really helped me grow.
It's all thanks to Jeong-ha.
Hae-na isn't Jeong-ha.
I think all relationships help us grow.
I saw Hae-hyo.
I've been neglecting you guys
since I got busy.
I'm not sorry at all.
Dude.
You guys are my friends,
so I know you'll always be there.
And you stay there too.
I'll make up my mind
on the pressing matters and come back.
I want to treat your parents to dinner.
Jin-ri too.
My mom will be thrilled to hear that.
Oh, did you know?
-What?
-Your dad's shoulder is acting up again.
My dad said he shouldn't work.
-Do you think he's up?
-I'm not sure.
-Just go in.
-No, let's not wake him up.
We'll call him in an hour.
He told my dad not to tell your family.
Especially you.
Mom.
Hey! Were you out?
Yes, to see Jin-u.
What's for lunch?
What do you want to eat?
Anything.
I'll be happy with anything you make.
-Is Gyeong-jun awake?
-Probably not. He took the day off.
FIRE SA HYE-JUN
SHOULDN'T HE QUIT ON HIS OWN?
Everyone wants him out.
Gosh, I should stop thinking about this.
What's with you, Sa Gyeong-jun?
Since when were you
so interested in Hye-jun?
Come in.
What's up? What's going on?
Why are you stuttering?
Are you hiding something?
What? What would I hide from you?
Let's talk in my room.
Everyone will hear us if we talk here.
Did your manager say something?
Wow, Dad really put his skills to use.
Look at this room.
I want him to renovate my room too.
Stop trying to change the topic.
What do you mean?
Why won't you write a letter of apology?
-I didn't do anything wrong.
-It's wrong to insult someone.
That's…
Have you heard of "mirroring"?
Cut the crap. Just be good to me
on a day-to-day basis.
The person you insulted
keeps on posting hate comments
and is on the list for the second lawsuit.
Good.
First-timers only get fined,
but those who do it again
can get a jail sentence.
We may have to settle with him
because of you,
although we shouldn't.
Don't! That bastard deserves to be fined.
Then you'll get fined too.
I don't want that.
I meant every word I wrote in my comment.
Apologizing will make it untrue.
Why did you do that?
Did it make you angry
that he spoke ill of me?
But you belittle me too.
I've never belittled you.
You see,
I hated being poor.
Sure, I got good grades in school.
Our family was proud of me,
but I had such low self-esteem.
So I just took my anger out on you.
That's all.
So just write a letter of apology.
Do it for me.
Apologize for the abusive, mean things
you did to me.
I'll apologize verbally.
"I posted
a belittling, insulting comment
in response to what you wrote."
What do I write next?
"I flew into a rage
when I read your comment."
No, a true apology
shouldn't be centered around how I felt.
"I am sorry.
I posted such a hurtful, insulting comment
and didn't even realize
the seriousness of it.
What a shame.
All of this happened because
I'm ignorant and didn't know any better."
Good, right?
You're good.
The key here is the word, "ignorant."
"I apologize."
REPORTER KIM SU-MAN
How's it going?
-So-so.
-Come on. Don't give me that.
You can go very far
with just a little bit of help.
I'm meeting the director of A June.
Do you want to…
Hello?
Hello, this is Sergeant Han U-tae
from Seocho Police Station.
-Is this Ms. Kim Su-man?
-Yes, I'm a reporter.
Then you probably know about this.
We've received a complaint
and need you to come in.
A complaint about what?
About you defaming Mr. Sa Hye-jun.
What?
I have to call you back.
I can't believe this.
They actually filed
a complaint against me.
How dare they!
That's nuts. They really are fearless.
Hire a good lawyer. This won't be easy.
Sir! Are you just going to leave?
Teach them a lesson.
How dare they do this to a reporter?
Cover the makeup artist he's dating.
You said it can't be an exclusive.
It'll be huge if he ditched her.
Let's be honest.
There's no way he's still with her.
He's a hotshot now.
Why do you suddenly want to eat out?
We could've met at the restaurant.
Why make me come home?
I don't want to tell the kids,
so you do it.
You'd do anything for them.
What's wrong? Did you guys fight?
It'd be inaccurate to say we fought.
I made a reservation.
Tell the kids to join us.
Why does it feel as if you're upset
every time you see me?
Because I am.
I want us to look happy
even if it's just on the outside.
The kids will understand if you're there.
Hae-hyo, your drama is popular these days,
but no one talks about you.
That's not true.
My sister's friends have become fans
-and want his autograph.
-My secretary hasn't said anything.
Youngsters' opinion is what matters.
Hae-na, how are your studies going?
I'm doing my best, as I always do.
Why did I suggest this?
I must've been out of my mind.
Why are you eating like a bird?
Let's have some wine.
Hae-hyo, pour me a glass.
I want beer.
I don't care what you want to drink.
Honey, do you want beer too?
As you can see, I'm having wine right now.
It's rude to suggest beer to someone
who's drinking wine.
What did I even expect from you?
Hey, why do you get so angry
whenever you see me?
Because you make me angry!
Honey, why don't you go see a shrink?
It could be perimenopausal--
I'll see a shrink if you see one first.
You're not going anywhere?
You took a day off.
No, I'm staying in.
Oh, boy.
-Mom.
-Yes?
Hey, just sit down. You must be tired.
Gyeong-jun.
Come help me.
Darn it.
That's no way to talk to your mother.
Dad, you're really hurting my feelings
these days.
Why? You're just saying that.
No, I'm not.
You built and decorated his room.
-I'll redo your room too.
-Mine as well.
Why are you getting involved?
I gave you money.
Okay, I'll do it.
It's so nice that everyone's here
including Hye-jun.
-How long has it been?
-It's been a while, Mr. Sa Min-gi.
Is work going well?
Yes, I hired a manager.
What? Seriously?
Who?
-Me?
-Yes, you.
Just help me out.
It's a lot for me to handle.
You don't know how much longer
I have. I'm old.
Fine, we'll talk another time.
Okay, some other time. Not tomorrow.
You even have a manager.
You're a celebrity now.
Now, there are two celebrities
in our family.
-Should I become one too?
-Just serve the soup.
-Bring the soup.
-It's delicious.
-This looks good.
-Thanks for the meal.
Ms. Kim, what's bothering you today?
-Can you tell that I'm in a bad mood?
-You always make it obvious.
Sa Hye-jun sued me.
You had it coming.
Do you know what I did?
-Did you stomp all over him?
-No.
But he'd better brace himself
for what's coming.
MIN-JAE
-Hey, Min-jae.
-Are you seeing Jeong-ha today?
-How did you know?
-Don't.
Kim Su-man just published a story
on you two,
with photos.
ACTOR SA HYE-JUN IS DATING A MAKEUP ARTIS
We shouldn't meet today.
The story is already out.
Not meeting today won't change anything.
See you. Let's go for a bike ride.
THEY HAVE BEEN DATING
FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR
REPORTER KIM SU-MAN
OUT NEWS
Hello.
-This is an appointment-only studio.
-Ms. An Jeong-ha, right?
-Yes.
-I'm Reporter Kim Su-man from Out News.
Can we talk over a cup of tea?
Are you waiting for someone?
I don't think I can meet today. Sorry.
I hope the talk goes well.
I'm sorry, Min-jae.
This is the only place
where we can talk comfortably.
I know.
Next up is a story about the actor
Sa Hye-jun.
He now has to pay a penalty
for a breach of contract.
His public image has taken a hit,
which violates the terms of his contracts.
The brands have filed a claim
for compensation,
so it looks like he'll have to pay them
hundreds of millions of won.
Why is it so hard to see you?
I know.
I'm sorry for making you wait that day.
You've already apologized multiple times.
It's okay.
It's so nice to finally see you
and talk in person.
Yes, it is nice.
I'm going to take it easy now.
I've been working nonstop
because I was anxious.
I mean, how did I get this far?
By doing your best
and working diligently.
You're rational,
and you never inconvenience others.
Also, you're so passionate about acting.
That makes me sound so awesome.
Thanks for seeing all of that.
Today is all about
saying "Thank you," not "I'm sorry."
I love you.
Let's break up.
I never thought
I'd end up in a relationship
that's so cliché.
RECORD OF YOUTH
That's enough.
Sa Hye-jun has changed
since he blew up, didn't he?
Is it about my boyfriend?
I thought you were different from me,
but you had that article published
in no time.
An agent should know
what their client is thinking.
I'm good at that.
-You?
-You?
I can hire you at our company too.
You can't do this alone.
I did something really bad.
