Outpatient Reception AdmissionDischarge Protocols
Come to your senses, Lee Go Eun!
Tell me! How did this happen?!
While the cops caught me for drunk driving, she was on the phone, and then... it all happened so quickly.
Go Eun!
- Go Eun! - Wait, we have to get her to a scanner right away.
Go Eun, why? Go Eun! Go Eun!
How did this happen?
Why is my kid lying there unconscious? Answer me!
I'm sorry.
If by any chance, something happens to my child,
I am really going to KILL you!
Go Eun!
- There he is! - He's here!
Kang Hyun Min!
What is your take on the situation?
Please, even a sentence will do!
Kang Hyun Min!
Mr. Kang Hyun Min, would you please explain your drunk driving charge?
Is it true that you were fully drunk, and that your license is suspended?
What kind of effects do you foresee on your acting career?
Kang Hyun Min Drinking and Driving Can he do the drama?
How in the world can he drive while drunk right before his new drama is about to start?
If we let Kang Hyun Min keep his role, the whole public might criticize our broadcasting station.
Well, so... what does the chief producer in charge think?
Since shooting hasn't even started yet, I don't think we need the risk of such a controversial actor...
So you want to cut him off?!
Yes, if you do something wrong,
you should be punished for it,
but you don't want to overdo the punishment to the extent of killing Kang Hyun Min's life as an actor!
He's done it to himself!
So, just because the media is criticizing him, you want to jump on the wagon and end his career, too?
I cannot abandon my actor like that!
Replace the actor?
Let's replace Kang Hyun Min with a different actor.
Director!
It doesn't make sense to keep Kang Hyun Min when the public sentiment is in such an uproar.
Plus, it's not just my personal opinion, but the whole drama department's opinion.
I can't do that.
Is it because of the contract fee that you've paid him in advance?
We can't take the risk of his ruined reputation affecting our business just to accommodate your financial situation.
I've also heard that Writer Lee Go Eun is not doing well, either.
I think it's better to replace both the writer and actor this time.
Please, give me some time.
Replace them at once.
Please, give me some time.
Representative Kim!
Just give me some time!
Three days.
Resolve all this in 3 days.
If you don't resolve this in 3 days, no matter how much financial loss may incur, we replace them both.
There's no way that Anthony would want to replace Kang Hyun Min and forfeit the 2 billion won he paid him.
Besides, there's no other actor to replace him with.
Moreover, the writer is in a coma. In short, "Morning of Kyeongseong" is beyond repair at this point.
So, what is it you want?
If "Morning of Kyeongseong" is a no go, wouldn't the Empire's "Elegant Revenge 2" be a good sub for it?
I know very well that you had lent Anthony a hand, Assistant Director.
Forgive me for saying this, but why don't you lend that hand to someone more reliable?
Someone who can really be a big help when you're in need.
Aigoo.
Look at them all. Such vultures.
They don't care about the person who got injured, but only about Kang Hyun Min if he's coming or not.
How heartless they are!
At any rate, I hope Writer Lee wakes up from her coma. What a disaster this is.
What is the problem? She doesn't have any serious external injuries or odd symptoms. Why isn't she up yet?
The question is whether there is any brain damage.
Once we take a look at her brain scans, we'll have more information, but at this point, it's hard to say.
What are you so excited about?
Well, we're really getting started with the project now!
I know very well that the fate of not just me and you, but everybody involved with this drama depends on the choices I make.
That's why I can't give up. We'll have victory for sure!
Are you sure? What percentage is your confidence rating?
You always said to me, "Believe me."
This time, it's your turn to believe me, Representative.
I'll stay here, so you guys can go back to work.
No, we'll wait here, too, until she wakes up.
Yeah, even if I tried to work, I don't think I'll be able to focus on it.
Are we going to collapse here?
Are we going to collapse, throwing a fit like a whiny kid?
Lee Go Eun will wake up. Absolutely.
Get back to work so that we can start shooting with her script right away.
Yes.
Thank you.
What is it?
What is it that you have to say?
About the drunk driving incident of Mr. Kang Hyun Min....
Actually... -Representative!
I found it. The first news report of Kang Hyun Min's drunk driving charge was written by Reporter Park Seong Bok of Daehan Daily.
What, Park Seong Bok?
Yes.
The same reporter who had written that calumnious report about the death of the delivery man 3 years ago.
It was also Reporter Park who rear-ended Kang Hyun Min's car.
I think it was all a scheme, not a coincidence.
Oh Jin Wan!
Where are you going?
You can't go in!
Representative... please leave.
Move out the way, unless you wish to die.
Didn't I warn you that I was going to win this...
Are you crazy?
You want to be sued?
Then do it.
Oh Jin Wan, I'm warning you!
You can do anything to me, but you can't touch my actor, my writer, my people. I won't stand that!
Since when did Anthony, to whom the end justified any means, become an advocate of justice?
I learned it all from you.
In order to get what I want, I have to be cold-blooded and merciless, extinguishing every last ray of hope!
Then, here's another lesson for you!
A death match is only between gladiators.
PD Joo?
Representative, I'm calling to inform you about Lee Go Eun.
Deputy Director... it's me.
What I told you to do, I think you should hurry up and proceed with it.
Immediately.
Representative!
What? The CT, did it come out okay?
Um, about that...
She woke up, but...
Lee Go Eun, are you okay?
Who are you?
Do I know him as well?
You really don't know me?
I'm not sure.
Why don't you know me?
I am Anthony.
Anthony who buried you in this field 3 years ago after only using you, and later threw you away again without mercy! It's me, Anthony!
Do you even forget your hatred and resentment towards me?
This can't be.
You must remember me.
Even if you have to use the power of hatred you must remember me, Lee Go Eun!
So you do know that.
How mean you have been to me!
Psyche!
Always you were the one who tricked people, but now how do you feel being fooled?
Do you think I fell for such a clumsy act of yours?
I'm sorry but I have been producing dramas for the last 10 years. I have used the "amnesia" plot more than 100 times.
And also, you...
were the worst among all of the amnesia acting I've seen.
So if you have time to make this kind of petty joke, use that time to write scripts!
PD Joo already brought me my laptop anyway!
Hey, Go Eun! I brought your favorite, grilled mackerel....
You're here?
PD Joo, make sure Writer Lee gets everything she needs.
Yes.
By the way, you totally fell for it earlier, didn't you?
I have never seen you being like that before, Representative.
So...
you mean "Elegant Revenge 2" of Empire Production?
Well...
It's not easy to find a top actor who is available for shooting now.
And moreover,
Empire Production has finished its set-up for shooting with the casting of Kim Jin Woo.
Kim Jin Woo?
Right now?
That's why it's Empire Production, isn't it?
Even if we wait one or two days more, it's not like any great option will suddenly pop up.
Director Nam, let's proceed (with Empire) right away, no need to wait more (for World).
But as it was a promise I gave as Director,
let's wait just for 3 days.
If there is no change after 3 days, I will reconsider the project.
Since Writer Lee Go Eun is conscious now,
I'm very relieved then..
I really drank just one shot, but a license suspension?
Those articles are all lies!
That breathalyzer was obviously manipulated!
It's not the time to whine that you're wronged!
Whine?
Representative...
If even you are treating me like this...
Do you know why you were casted?
Because you're good at acting?
Because I like you personally?
No, it was because the station would give me the broadcasting schedule if I brought you.
But because of your reckless behavior, we're now in a crisis and there is no other actor to immediately replace you either.
If we don't solve this issue within three days, all of us are finished!
What do you mean "finished"?
Is it decided at the broadcasting station?
Wow.
Me?
You will fire me?
Me, Kang Hyun Min?
What... should we do now?
Did you request the blood test?
Yes, but...
I'm not sure its result from National Forensic Service will come out within three days.
Hyung...
It's Bit Na, but she says your cell phone is turned off so...
Tell her I'll call later.
Then, what are you doing for media play?
That's, well...
Hyung... it's your mother...
Oh my god, seriously!
Mom!
How many times have I told you that I can't come to you?
Right now, there are tons of reporters waiting in front of my house,
to bury your son, Kang Hyun Min, alive!
Mom! Do you think your stomachache is a big deal now?
Aren't you watching TV, Mom?
Right at the moment when you had a stomachache and went to the ER, I had a big accident, too!
I don't know. I'm going crazy.
Let's talk later, bye!
Watch your language to your mother!
She's my mom, but she doesn't even have a clue what happened to her son.
She's nagging why I'm not visiting her when she has a stomachache.
Then, you should visit her!
Huh?
The only person who will resolve this situation
is your mom.
Well, from now on, our new script will begin.
Hyun Min, you should lower your head as much as possible.
Representative Choi and Kwang Soo, you guys make a way for Hyun Min, with the sincere mind to help him visiting his sick mother quickly.
Hyun Min's mother had a little bit of stomachache and went to ER around at 6PM yesterday.
She's goes to the ER so often just like she would visit her spa for a massage.
So the doctors get so frustrated when they see my mom's name.
Yes.
She came again?
That's because when they look at her,
she looks too fine.
So, can you tell me which pain brought you here again?
The stomach.
My stomach really hurts, Doctor.
But last night, to run to your sick mother at ER, you had no choice but to drive.
But,
yesterday, Hyun Min's mother left the ER at 7 PM.
And the time of my accident was later than 8PM.
That's why we should make a story.
Hyun Min got a phone call before that and ran to the hospital!
Mom left the hospital with a doctor's facile prescription.
But then, Bam! There was an accident.
Then, today?
Hyun Min's mother's symptom, which wasn't serious yesterday, became serious today!
Hyun Min...
Yes.
You and I, the fate of us is all depends on your mother's acting today.
Where do you feel the pain?
Ma'am, where is your pain, tell me!
Bring doctors! Bring doctors!
It hurts, hurts, hurts!
For now, take CT scans!
Yes.
Ma'am?

Oh, my tummy! Aigoo!
Mom!
Mr. Kang Hyun Min!
Mr. Kang Hyun Min had an accident on his way here yesterday, so he couldn't come sooner.
I heard that she complained about serious stomach pain yesterday, too.
Uh.... yes, yes, yes.
Then, Mr. Kang Hyun Min's DUI last night was because of an emergency with his mother's health?
Why didn't he explain that sooner? Then, Mr. Kang Hyun Min's DUI last night was because of an emergency with his mother's health?
Why didn't he explain that sooner?
Listen, people, this is a hospital. Contain yourselves.
Does the mother of Kr. Kang Hyun Min know, too?
We're waiting for the lab results currently.
Do you have any predictions about her diagnosis?
Mr. Kang Hyun Min will have a press conference to answer all these questions.
Please leave now.
This smells fishy...
Fishy?
When is Kang Hyun Min's press conference?
This coming Friday.
No one must know about our plan.
Therefore, make sure that your mother, Representative Choi, and Gwang Soo all zip it up.
Yes.
We must keep this secret especially from Lee Go Eun, who'll write your apology to be read at the conference.
Even from Writer Lee Go Eun?
But she's one of us, though?
She is one of us, but she can't be one of us when we're lying.
What do you think she'd do if she found out about our dishonest plan?
I got it.
At times, the enemy within us can do the most damage.
Never, never must she know!
The mother of Mr. Kang Hyun Min is ill?
Last night, she couldn't keep anything down even.
Her stomach was in such a pain...
Then, when you said that you were going to see your mother...
you were being serious?
I know you don't have anywhere else to go, why are you being like this?
You're like a kid whining to his mom when something goes wrong!
Why wouldn't I have anywhere else to go?
Where? Where are you going?
I'm going to see my mom! Happy?
That's right.
I'm so sorry, I didn't know...
I understand.
I'm sorry for not even contacting you when you woke up.
I had no idea that Kang Hyun Min's mother was ill.
At least the media reports are sympathetic toward Kang Hyun Min.
What a relief.
Great relief indeed, now that Writer Lee is also recovering swiftly.
At any rate, that bastard Representative Oh has reserved a spot in hell.
Attacking Kang Hyun Min's career with the DUI charge was all his doing.
Man, the bad karma between our Representative Kim and Representative Oh...
Could it be that they were a married couple in their previous life?
Why else would they be such enemies?
Why have you been ignoring my calls?
Is there someone beside you?
No. It's okay now.
I'd like you to find out one more thing.
See if the mother of Kang Hyun Min is really ill.
Do you really have to go this far?
What's wrong with you?
Are you getting cold feet now?
Writer Lee could have been seriously injured!
Why do you think I planned this whole thing with Kang Hyun Min's DUI?
My target is Anthony.
Kang Hyun Min's DUI was just one of the means to get to that end.
Lee Go Eun is just an unexpected, unfortunate casualty.
I don't care who gets hurt and whose career gets ruined.
Whatever you say, I can't....
If something goes wrong, do you think you'll be safe?
If I expose that you were my mole, your career in this field will be totally over.
Think of your frail grandmother.
Unless you want to spend the rest of your life penniless and jobless,
and end up watching helplessly as your grandmother passes away,
do as I say.
Do you really think Anthony made it up?
We shall find out soon enough.
The moment the truth comes out that Kang Hyun Min's mother was faking her health problems,
the DUI charge will be nothing compared to that.
It won't be just Kang Hyun Min that falls,
but Anthony as well will be doomed forever beyond hope in this field.
It's not like I committed a serious crime, why do I have to do this?
Regardless of the circumstances, you did drink and drive.
You've betrayed the trust of the public that have loved you, and you've hurt their feelings.
This is not just for show.
Unless you sincerely repent, this whole thing is pointless!
Did I ever ask them to love me?
They just fell head over heels for me because I'm so hot!
Yes, you're hot.
So you can also make a hot apology.
Unless you want to ruin your career.
Alright. Happy?
Happy about what?
You need to practice.
Practice until it hurts.
I am only what I am thanks to the love I receive from the public, and I express my deepest regrets for betraying the trust of so many fans...
Wait,
I think you should pause for a moment after "betraying the trust."
I think you should lower your gaze slightly before moving on to the next words.
I am only what I am thanks to the love I receive from the public, and I express
my deepest regrets for betraying the trust
of so many fans.
Good. Next.
I do not want to try to justify my actions of that day with my personal circumstances...
That's not it.
You have to show a surge of emotions.
Think of your mom and pause.
...with my personal circumstances.
Nah, too weak. Go again!
I will accept all criticisms for my actions
and use them to drive myself to become
a better person.
Hmm. Good.
Pardon?
You think it was staged?
Well, I wouldn't put it past Anthony if he's desperate enough.
Listen, what if Anthony just wanted to calm down the public sentiment by staging a health issue with Kang Hyun Min's mother who is not sick at all?
Moreover, what if the truth came out? This would certainly harm the reputation of our station!
Yes, I understand.
However, I don't think we should make a hasty decision about this.
Think about it,
if, as you say, the truth were to come out, Kang Hyun Min's career would be most affected, right?
Would Kang Hyun Min really gamble his whole career like that?
Listen, Director Nam. The actor's career depends on the impression the public has of him.
There's nothing he couldn't do to restore his ruined reputation.
Alright, I see.
If, as you say, Assistant Director, the issue turns out to be staged, then...
I will take away the broadcasting slot from "Morning of Kyeongseong."
Got it? When answering questions about your mother, don't hesitate.
You'll look more dejected.
Still,
I think we need to be clear about the issue with my mom.
Absolutely not. Too much water drowns the miller.
Who's going to drown?
Mom did go to the ER that day,
and she's in the hospital. Mom did go to the ER that day,
and she's in the hospital.
Listen carefully.
If people find out that your mother is a fake patient, everything is over.
It will be totally over for you and me both, forever.
Make no mistakes.
The fate of you, me, and our drama depends on today.
Fate?
Yes, Representative.
Was I right?
I was right.
Did you record their conversation as I told you to?
Yes.
Good.
Send me a copy of that file,
and I'll text you Director Heo's phone number, so send him a copy, too.
You still remember... what I told you, right?
If you want to live, just do as I say.
Representative!
What is it?
I have something to tell you.
Say it.
Just a moment, can we talk privately?
Since we're busy now, let's talk later.
This is the cell number of Director Heo.
Ah, yes.
Yes, yes....
Yes.
The blood test result of Hyun MIn came out.
It's 0.04 and lower than the limit!
Okay.
Now, we just need to finish this press conference well.
Oh, thank you Jesus!
Subtitles brought to you by His Royal SubjectsTeam @ Viki.com
Are you ready?
Let's go.
I, Kang Hyun MIn, have lived getting generous love from all the people for the last several years.
Yes, Representative.
Why has that file not been sent yet?
That was... because my cell phone wasn't fully charged until now.
I will send you that file now.
If someone has too many thoughts,
he loses many things as well, you know.
You know what I mean,
don't you?
Because of my wrong choice at that moment,
I showed my bad image to those people who have loved me so far.
I'm so sorry to them,
and it makes my heart heavy.
In addition, for all the difficulties the production team of "Morning of Kyeongseong"
had to go through because of me,
I'm giving my sincere apology to them.
While I was having a dinner with the drama production team,
I got a phone call that my mother was sick and went to the ER,
so I lost my reason momentarily,
and forgot I drank one shot of whiskey.
So I drove the car myself.
[Voice message]
However, about my personal situation, I don't want to make any excuses.
Writer Lee could've been in a really dangerous situation.
Why do you think I planned Kang Hyun Min's DUI?
My target is Anthony.
Kang Hyun Min's DUI case is just one of all means to hit that target.
Lee Go Eun was just an unexpected, scapegoat.
I don't care who gets hurt, or who would be doomed.
Woo Hee Jae, this bastard!
I don't care.
This is the cell number of Director Heo.
What were you trying to say?
I'm sorry, Representative.
I got it.
In return, you do only what I tell you to do.
STOP!
Writer Lee could've been really in a danger.
Representitive!
Anthony!
In a press conference which is being aired live, a represntative of a top-class drama production company reveals his own dirty trick to the nation himself.
It could've been a fun show, but luckily you stopped it.
With that file, what are you going to do?
That depends on how you behave from now on.
If you keep digging into Hyun Min's mother's case, I will reveal this file.
Then, the public will criticize you, and Chairman will fire you who ruins the reputation of the company, just like he did fire me 3 years ago.
Are you saying to make a deal with me?
So you're not as dumb as I thought.
Oh, and one more.
Through all medias you're dealing with, friendly opinions about Hyun Min will be poured out.
Now, the combat between gladiators is finished.
I will go back to the Colosseum and enjoy my victory,
so you'd better hurry up.
However, based on all the criticism and advice you've given me,
I will try my best
to become a better person.
For repaying your love with dissappointment,
I'm really sorry.
We will finish our press conference now.
Thank you
Are you okay?
How was I?
Was I good?
The best.
You were bada**!!
Especially when you lowered your head for a moment,
then, as you continued to talk, with tears...! It was art!
Of course! I had especially worked on that part. Have a seat!
Where is Anthony, anyway?
What is the reaction of the reporters?
Much better than I had expected.
They're already releasing sympathetic news reports.
- Applause! - But let me make one thing clear.
I swear, I don't care what kind of a life you lead.
It's up to you whether you ruin yourself with drugs or gamble your life away.
However,
I will not tolerate any mistake from you when you are Kim Woo Jin of "Morning of Kyeongseong."
If something like this happens again, regardless of whether it's your fault or not,
I'll make you pay dearly.
What did that loony say?
Did you understand him?
I sure didn't!
Congrats! Good job!
Well, considering the blood test results and all, I think it's ok to keep Kang Hyun Min on board.
What do you think?
It's too early to tell yet.
What's important is the public opinion.
Correct. The numbers may be legally acceptable,
but it's still true that he drove after drinking alcohol.
I think it would be wise to watch the movement of the public opinion.
Yes, - Director.
I reviewed the reactions of the media reports and the netizens.
Yes.
The voice of sympathy is decidedly predominant.
Is that so?
Yes.
Then, as planned, the November slot is reserved for "Morning of Kyeongseong" with Kang Hyun Min.
Agreed?
Oh, Hyung, look at this!
Scroll up, up, up, oh, this one! This one!
Oh yes, that's a good one! Nice shot!
It looks like you were crying. Really crying!
That tear is a real tear. It's worth a million dollars.
This is amazing!
Take a look at this, Director. Our Hyun Min Oppa must have been in so much pain!
The netizens keep posting comments. Hyun Min Oppa's big heart is public knowledge.
Good.

As you see, the public opinion about Kang Hyun Min is changed 180 degrees overnight.
Right now, netizens are signing petitions to go against Kang Hyun Min being fired.
Come in.
Are you Writer Lee Go Eun?
Who are you?
Please to meet you.
I'm Hyun Min's mother.
If you're Hyun Min's mother...
Kang Hyun Min...?
Yes. Superstar Kang Hyun Min's mother.
You're still weak, stay sitting!
You're even more sick than I am; I can't stay sitting.
Well, I am sick.
Even if I'm a fake patient.
What are you talking about?
You know.
Flowers?
Yes, Director.
We've decided to go with Kang Hyun Min as previously planned.
I understand.
You don't seem too happy.
No, I am happy. Very happy.
By any chance, is this what you've already anticipated?
What do you mean?
No, nevermind. Then, see you later.
The station's drama department decided to keep Kang Hyun Min.
What is that reaction?
Do you have something you haven't told me?
Something I haven't told you? What?
What is it?
Kang Hyun Min's mother just came by.
How could you trick me like that?
It's fine now that you know.
How can you say something like that?
If I told you honestly, would you have agreed obediently?
No! I would never have participated in such a farce!
No, I would've dissuade you not to do that!
See!
You're really immoral.
Turning someone's perfectly fine mother into a seriously ill person in a second wasn't enough?
Someday, she will be seriously ill, I guess.
For your drama, you've thrown away your father, now it's your mother?
Because a husband and a wife are equal.
Get out.
I don't even want to look at you, so get out!
I'm busy anyway, so I can't stay longer.
Ah, that devil!
This devil will go back to home to Hell now, so you'd better write the script for episode 6.
Is he crazy or something? What do I do?
Hello. -Hello.
What's that?
This is the letter Hee Jae left.
Without saying anything, he said he's going to resign for personal reasons.
Hey. What is this?
To Writer Lee Go Eun?
Representative,
I'm not brave enough to meet you in person, so I'm telling you like this.
Over that last few months, Represantative, who treated me so well and
to the people in World Production with an apologetic heart,
I'm a sinner.
The fact that I will not receive forgiveness even with any excuses,
I know that very well.
So I, somebody pathetic, will be leaving.
Our writer's precious drama, "Morning of Kyeongseong"
I will pray that it will be successful.
Be healthy.
Writer Lee!
You've been well?
You must still be sick; you should have told us before you came.
I'm better now.
You want me to forgive him?
Yes.
I know you're really disappointed and angry, but
can't you forgive him?
No.
A person who betrays once will betray again.
You make a mistake once.
And Hee Jae, he's having a hard time, living with his sick grandma these days.
That's why he must have been greedy from his youthful passion.
He's regretting it right now.
What does that have to do with me?
He's already fired.
So don't butt into my business, and you do your work.
Why did he get fired?
Actually, I don't really know myself.
That bastard... even when I ask, he doesn't reply.
He doesn't even pick up his phone anymore.
Do you possibly know his address?
Grandma.
Do you possibly know this house, #30?
That's our house.
We don't have any coffee mugs...
No, it's fine. This is good too.
By the way, where's Hee Jae?
He hasn't come home from work yet.
It's about time for him to come home.
By the way, didn't you say you're working with him?
Oh, I'm on a vacation.
It's so strange today.
A lot of people from work visited.
Really?
Wh...Who was it?
They didn't tell me their name, but...
they said to send this on to him.
Ah Grandma, do you mind if I read that?
Yes, yes. Because of my eyesight,
even if I read it, I wouldn't know what it was about.
Shut up and come to work early, before I really fire you.
Grandmother, I'm here.
Writer Lee.
[Loony]
What?
What are you doing?
Whatever I'm doing, why do you have to know that?
Just...
Have you reconsidered about Hee Jae?
That betrayer will come to work again.
Well done.
Earlier, he came to me and begged me to let him work again, crying over and over.
So, is that the reason you took him back?
No, I just decided to use him for only three months.
Don't worry about useless things, and if you have time to make a call, just write scripts.
Wait a moment. One more thing.
What else?
Why did you lie?
Are you talking about that again?
Reinstating me as a writer was done by you, not the Director of the Drama Department.
I never did that.
Tell me. Why did you lie?
I guess you heard some weird rumor,
but stop talking nonsense, and just write more scripts.

Since I first met you, I love you.
Who are you, huh?
This brat! Huh?
Welcome back!
...those words that came out as tears
little by little, fill up my heart
as if my heart will explode with those words.
Because both of my eyes are blinded,
Okay, then let's go for our other half face, the main female actress.
Yes.
Kim Ah Joong will work a movie with 16 million won budget next month.
And Lee Bo Young is staying abroad now after finishing the last drama so successfully.
Kim Seon Ah, who is so hot these days, is already scheduled for a drama which will be aired Wednesday-Thursday in M broadcasting, so she's not available.
And Jeon Ji Hyun has a casting inquiry from Hollywood now,
so she's waiting for its finalization.
And the last, Eom Ji Won, who is doing both TV and movie a lot these days,
is done filming a movie now and reviewing scripts for the next project.
She says she will never work with Kang Hyun Min, even if she dies.
Why is Sung Min Ah not on this list?
I heard her schedule is available as well.
That's because... she's an actress of Empire Production.
She can't work with us because she belongs to Empire?
Yes, because our company is not on good terms with Empire.
More accurately, Anthony and Oh Jin Wan are enemies so it won't work, right?
But why does it...
have anything to do with me?
Crazy dog, you told me that if I give up that momentary 5 minutes,
you will make sure that I will forget the past 5 years by the joy of success.
To taste that joy,
I need Sung Min Ah.
No matter what.
Look at me now (In French)
Wow, you are too good.
Miss Min Ah, you're fantastic, yes, great!
Great pose, ok, yes!
Now, ready,
1,2. Good!
You worked well.
It's done for today.
Good job. - You all worked hard.
Good job.
Miss Min Ah, you were amazing today, as always.
I didn't do much.
It's all thanks to your great work of photography.
Aigoo, you're even modest!
Sung Min Ah is indeed the best.
Thanks for your work today.
Don't you ever schedule another shoot with that man.
Why not? Did he do something wrong?
I can't concentrate because of his bad breath!
Alright, I'll look into it.
A skilled photographer who doesn't have bad breath, ok?
Why don't you guys go ahead.
It has been a long time.
You haven't changed.
You're still good at surprising people.
Take this.
What is that?
It's the script for the mini series for November Mondays and Tuesdays of S Broadcasting.
I did hear that you were broke.
I guess that means your scale has shrunk, too?
For you to offer me a script of a rookie writer.
Compared to the pathetic writers of Empire who haven't written anything worthy of the return of
Sung Min Ah for the past three years, it's completely different.
What to do?
In addition to writers, I also screen producers.
Is there anything else you need to know about me?
How much are you going to pay me?
As much as you want.
You can't afford that, ever.
Sure I can. Because you're the best actress, Sung Min Ah.
Read it carefully and give me a call. My number hasn't changed.
Who is it?
Who...Who is it?
Did I startle you? I'm just teasing.
Wow!
Quite spacious for a writer's studio.
About the same size as... the second bathroom of my living room.
Quit mocking, it's my very first studio.
Why have you come?
Well, just, uhm... I thought I'd check out the writer's studio.
I heard that... you saw my mom.
Yes, I did. I also received great words of wisdom.
Hey, you know it was inevitable.
Thank you.
I normally don't say thank you very often.
Thank you.
I truly appreciate what you did this time.
I feel as if... I found a new friend.
Then, be good from now on.
Yeah, about that...
Wouldn't it be better to take out that swimming at sea part?
I'd love it if that part was cut out from the whole script!
I don't know about the others, but you absolutely have to swim in the ocean.
Absolutely!
Is that all?
You said you can afford to pay me because I'm the best actress there is.
Yes.
Then, let me ask you one thing.
Do you still...
love me?
If you would act for "Morning of Kyeongseong."
Preview Ep 8
How much longer do I have to bathe those filthy brats?
Restoring your reputation as the leading star of the drama depends on it.
Bathe them will all your might.
I'm warning you, you should leave this field.
I think you're the one, Chairman, whose time has come to retire from the field.
Can you fire the writer? Can you fire her for me?
You wanted to protect your script, right? Then fight! Fight and win!
Face the challenge and fight on!
