A VIKI original series
Dramaworld
Oh, Joon. You're up early.
We're going to meet Chairman Kim in half an hour.
Pay attention to what's being discussed. You still have a lot to learn about the business.
Mother...
After that, go up to the conference room on the fifteenth floor.
There are a lot of talks among the board members since Ga In passed away like that.
It's best to express your remorse somehow.
Mother!
What is it?
All of this is...
entirely...
I quit.
Don't be ridiculous.
You can't go back on something that's already been decided. Take some responsibility!
Episode 9
Hey.
Joon, please slow down!
I'm a... television character!
And kind of a jerk!
Yeah, but like the total fan favorite.
What am I supposed to do?
Do? What do you mean?
I'm, I'm not me. I... I don't even know what I am.
No, you're you. Of course you're you.
Yeah, but I'm also, like, six other dudes.
Yeah. No, I mean, no! Look.
You're Joon Park and this series is almost over, right?
I guess.
So as long as this has a happy ending, you'll wake up a different person in a different drama
and start the whole thing over again.
But why? Why can't I just be me?
Because right now... we need a hero.
Seo Yeon.
Yes, sir.
Please, just call me Seth.
Could you come out for a minute?
Uh... Sure.
Okay.
Seth, what is all this?
I just wanted to thank you
for holding my hand when I needed you.
Please sit.
Okay.
It's like I'm dreaming.
I've got a lot of work...
Just a sip. To celebrate.
To us!
To us.
Doesn't it feel like you and I go way back?
We do go back a while.
Do you remember?
We both started working with Chef Park, so it's already been a few months.
Well, that was just coincidence.
I don't believe in coincidence.
Neither do I.
The fire that day, and our working together here...
All of it made me feel like we're old friends,
like we've known each other for a very long time.
And now I want to be a special person to you.
Go ahead and eat.
Okay.
Thank you.
I think it's still frozen.
It'll thaw slowly.
Seth?
What are we doing here?
We need help and Seth's the expert. He's known you for like--
What the hell?
That's... me.
These are all—
You. Yeah.
So he--
Seth's like me, but I'm new.
I mean, Seth's been in dozens of dramas. He's way better at it than I am.
But there's no such thing as coincidence in Dramaworld. See? Everything is manipulated.
Even you?
No, no, not me. I'm not from here, though.
Something's been really off since your dad was murdered. We've been trying to figure out what.
I thought it was Ga In, but
I guess not. She was pretty evil.
Claire, come on.
She's dead.
Well, yeah, but she'll be back
in the next drama.
- I really need to get back— - Hang on.
You like cheesecake, right?
Well... Sure, okay.
- Go ahead. - No, thanks.
Just a bite, come on.
That's okay, I'm still chewing.
I really need to go and prep. Thanks.
Be arrogant and stubborn, like Joon Park.
Seo Yeon!
Yes?
How about a little gratitude.
Okay... Well, thank you. I appreciate it.
Get back to work.
Yes, sir.
It says here that you're not supposed to get emotionally involved with characters
because it could compromise the drama.
I have been doing everything in my power to get you and Seo Yeon together.
We're not emotionally involved.
We're not.
We're not!
You're in love with Seo Yeon.
I mean, everyone loves Seo Yeon, but that doesn't mean I'm in love with—
If you had just saved her at the restaurant when I gave you the chance! I mean, I put a freaking bow on it!
Stop it!
Sorry.
So...
I know I don't remember these past lives and stuff, but...
If I was, like, a bad-ass archer...
Am I still?
I have no idea.
That'd be cool.
So, you've been into me for a long time now—
Stop it, seriously.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
I mean...
Dramaworld brought me here 'cause I'm, like, invisible in the real world.
She needed somebody who wasn't going to be a character.
I'm not even a character in my own life.
I doubt that.
No.
You'd look through me like a window and be more interested in anything that was on the other side.
I'm looking at you right now.
Not through you.
Well, stop it!
Sorry.
Seo Yeon. You love Seo Yeon.
Sure.
Everyone loves Seo Yeon.
Sure, what's not to love?
Everyone loves Seo Yeon!
There is no such thing as coincidence in Dramaworld.
I'm sorry, Mr. Park, but it's for the best.
This is Seo Yeon.
I love her.
You saved me.
But there's no leading man!
Sure there is.
It's always me.
Claire?
Oh my god!
Joon!
Seth!
Seth?
Where is everyone? The staff should have been here ages ago.
I made some changes.
Well, is anyone else coming in tonight?
Of course.
Tonight is the last episode.
- What? - Hmm?
Nothing.
It's going to be a special event, so get ready.
Seth, there are some strange people out—
Don't worry, Seo Yeon.
Like I said...get ready.
Tonight, the world changes.
