Episode 17 Do not be afraid of the darkness
I deceived you.
I betrayed you.
I was so mean to you.
Despite that,
when did you start liking me?
Did something happen?
Nothing happened.
Get inside and rest.
Representative!
Why was he like that?
What happened that he even had tears in his eyes?
Regrettably, it looks like the initial diagnosis still stands.
Since your mother has this condition,
you must know this already, but
there is no way to cure it at this point.
*Currently, no cure is available.
How to learn Braille
You need to start getting ready for it.
Normally, people with acquired blindness take about
3-5 years to adjust to be able to perform daily functions.
Even just getting out of the house can feel like a formidable challenge.
From just grabbing a spoon to going to the bathroom,
you have to learn how to do them by yourself.
Do you have family that could take care of you?
What is the percentage?
The chance of me going blind.
I'll ask one more question.
Why is it me?
My mom wasn't enough?
Why are you even doing this to me?
I have finally found the reason why I must produce dramas,
and I have also found the person who pointed it out to me.
And yet, after all that, why did you choose me?
Tell me. If you're there, tell me!
Why is it me? Why?!
Ready. Action!
My face...
take a good look.
This face. . .
don't ever forget.
Cut! Okay!
Director! I'm sorry, but can we do it again?
But your eyes were really good just now. Why?
No, my gaze at Jin Hye Rin needs to be full of sadness,
I don't think it was enough this time.
Alright then.
Alright, let's do it one more time.
Carefully look at my face.
This face,
don't you ever forget.
Cut! Okay!
Director!
Let's do it one more time.
The Director said it was okay. Why do you keep asking him to film it again?
Don't pity me.
I'm not saying this out of pity!
Your eyes really did look sad!
I appreciate your comforting words,
but you have to clearly point out my flaws
for my acting to improve
so that I can become a good actor.
Director! Let's do it one last time.
Carefully look at my face.
This face,
don't you ever forget it.
Cut!
How's this one? You satisfied?
Yes. I think it's okay.
Okay.
Then, get ready for scene 38!
Sung Mo! Script!
Yes, Hyung.
What's wrong with him?
Did something happen?
He wants to get better.
Get better at what?
Acting skills.
Hyun Min said that?
Yes.
I'm going to be worn out, it seems.
Things to do from now on.
What are you doing?
Just some things.
Can we speak... for a bit?
Come to the book cafe where we were supposed to meet yesterday.

In Search of Lost Time
After so much time has passed, she finally reads the confession the man had left in the book.
And even the book's title is "In Search of Lost Time"
Lee Go Eun ♥ And even the book's title is "In Search of Lost Time"
Lee Go Eun ♥
When did you come?
Just now.
Ah, I see.
I will answer the question you asked yesterday.
It's true that I like you.
I don't know since when, but it's correct that I like you.
I will also ask one question.
Yesterday... why did you cry?
There's something wrong right?
I've been suffering from depression for three years.
That's why I'm crying, so it has nothing to do with you, so don't mind it.
Pretend that the issue of contract renewal never happened.
As if it never happened? What are you suddently talking about?
There is one reason.
The relationship between a producer and writer should be upright with the right amount of fear and respect.
Since the moment you started liking me, that's impossible.
Working without any emotion, that is my rule. And that rule is always important.
Then . . .
What about Sung Min Ah?
You didn't do that at that time.
But now it's like that.
We can't continue working together.
Does that answer your question somewhat?
I will take my leave. I have an important appointment.
You've come again.
Hello!
Who . . . ?
The writer who came last time.
It's good to meet you. I actually wanted to see you.
Is your body fine?
I heard you weren't well yesterday.
Did my son say that yesterday?
Ah...I guess I must've heard wrong.
Nowadays is out of control because of the script.
You have a hard time because of my son right?
No, he is so nice to me.
That's good, that you think about him like that.
He grew up with a blind single parent, so
his personality is _____, but his heart is kind.
I heard...that you couldn't see when he was five...
At that time... my heart hurt so much...
At first, my vision started to get blurry,
but I thought it would get better over time.
Instead, one eye went blind,
and the other eye ended up blind as well.
I found out later that that's how optic neuropathy progresses.
At any rate, you must be a special person to my son.
Huh?
Why do you think so?
Because he told you about things like that.
Ah.
To be honest... I confessed my feelings to the Representative.. .and I got rejected.
My son... by nature, has no vision for women.
Right?!
I mean I'm this pretty...I think he really doesn't have an eye for girls.
What are you talking about?
That doing business together is going to be hard?
I'm sorry.
Can I ask the reason why you are refusing?
It's a personal issue, so I can't tell you.
I hope that instead of me, you will find a good partner.
Childish!
Say if you don't like a person,
You're always nagging me about the script.
If you know, hurry up and write the script, everyone is waiting.
I am a crazy girl for worrying about Bong Dal.
Crossing out "cancel the investment deal with Taesan"
Morning of Kyeongsong End of Episode 19
I sent the 19th episode
Got it.
Ah... it's done, but...
Mr. Kang Hyun Min sure will complain about the hair...
The 19th episode came out.
Really? It came out a lot faster than I thought.
What?
I guess Hyun Min's hairstyle changes, to a shorter haircut.
What? What, what, what?
So you think getting him to cut his hair will be difficult.
Could you please change that part this time?
I'm very sorry.
I was concerned about it, too, actually.
You don't think you can persuade him?
It is to signify the start of Kim Woo Jin's choice of an ordinary life.
To tell you the truth, Hyun Min is currently working on getting an endorsement deal for a shampoo.
An endorsement for shampoo?
Yes.
So, if he gets a haircut, he won't be able to do it at all.
Yes.
If it's about an endorsement deal, Kang Hyun Min sure wouldn't want to cut his hair.
Exactly!
I'm sorry, Miss Writer.
I guess it can't be helped. I'll change it.
Really? Oh, thank you!
Miss Writer Lee! Writer Lee!
Isn't this Hyun Min's voice? - Writer Lee!
I guess he's already come to complain.
Writer Lee! - Don't tell him that I was here!
Writer Lee!
Open this door, now!
Oh heavens!
What do you think? Is this acceptable?
You got a haircut!
Of course. A new Woo Jin style.
But, how did you...
Why? I got it cut after I saw the script.
Do you want it shorter? Just tell me!
Well, Mr. Hyun Min, weren't you after a shampoo endorsement...?
Who cares about endorsements?
Even if a TV or a car endorsement deal is on the table,
if it is for the drama, I should cut it!
With overflowing spirit!
Hyung!
What are you doing here?
Well, actually, to thank her for making your character so awesome.
That's why I'm here.
Is that so?
At any rate, Writer Lee, the last week of Morning in Kyeongseong
will be full of this Kang Hyun Min's impactful acting spirit,
just you wait.
Fighting!!
Fighting! Fighting!
Director Nam,
what do you mean by that?
You can't extend Morning in Kyeongseong?
To extend a drama that was originally planned for 20 episodes into 24 all of a sudden
will make everybody think that we're only doing it for the ratings.
Rather than that, just finishing the drama with its current quality
seems to be the better choice, in my judgment.
Listen, Director Nam.
"Morning in Kyeongseong" has just gone over 25%,
and is on the verge of getting into the 30% range.
If we add 4 more episodes, we'll get the rating over 30% for sure,
how can you suggest not doing it?
However, if you just prolong the story,
it will inevitably lead to a drop in the quality.
In that case,
it may ruin what we have accomplished so far with "Morning in Kyeongseong."
Director Nam, are you crazy?
Do you know how much of the profits from commercials depends on 1% of the ratings?
This isn't a place of art!
This is a business that needs to make a profit!
Well, Director... - Director Nam,
I understand your point of view, Director Nam.
But this time,
I would like you to accept the opinion of the board members including myself.
Four more episodes?
Yes.
I'm surprised by your lack of enthusiasm.
Don't producers usually welcome extension deals in a situation like this?
Yes, we'll make the necessary preparations.
Then. . .
Why? Does he think 4 is too short?
No, no.
He says he'll prepare for it.
If we add 4 more episodes, that means 4 more weeks from now, starting with episode 19.
I wonder what the odds are for my eyesight to last until then?
Could I really do it?
No, I must do it.
Please, hang on until then. Hang on.
Well now, I know how everybody must be tired,
but since it's been decided to extend the show, let's do our best to the end!
Yes!
Fighting!
What do you think? To spike up the last pitch, new Woo Jin style!
What's with your faces?
Your hair... why did you cut it so soon?
Excuse me?
I cut it too soon?
Well,
We got an extension of 4 more episodes.
Extension?
Yes.
Well, to prolong the story, the ending will have to change.
Hyun Min,
since it's been extended, let's go for 30% of the viewership rating!
I'm counting on you!
What were you doing, not being aware of the extension deal?
My last big impact!
The new haircut of Woo Jin style!
How can you make it all into nothing like this?!
Hyun Min, at any rate, now that it's been decided,
let's go for 30% of viewership rating,
and get more money for the extended episodes.
Isn't that swell?
Hyung, is money all your concern?
From now on, don't ever insult my passion and spirit for acting with mere money.
Well, then, are you not going to ask for a raise?
How much more did Sung Min Ah ask for?
Are you crazy? You know that you're scheduled for a movie right away,
and yet you agreed to the extension?
Just as I said,
just go ahead with it without asking for more money.
Min Ah,
this isn't just any movie,
but a movie directed by Cho Kyu Sik.
Besides, you're the lead actress.
You know fully well how your schedule won't allow for both the drama and the movie.
Isn't it your job to make that schedule work?
So, just do as I said.
Who exactly is the reason why you're doing this?
Is it for Anthony? Or,
Kang Hyun Min? Is it because of him?
Listen carefully. Don't ever stick me with that moron again!
Got it?
Why do you keep barging in when I didn't call you?
Extension?
Yes.
But I just have one more episode to work on. How can I add 4 more episodes?
In order to write those 4 episodes without sacrificing the quality,
we have to revise the script for episode 19 you finished yesterday.
Episode 19... uh...
I know it won't be easy.
However, from episode 19 to 24,
you may have to send it to us page by page so we can shoot right away.
The live shooting we had been trying so hard to avoid has now started.
You can do it, right?
I will have to.
Yes. As this is an emergency, put extra effort and write with speed.
Where are you going?
Why?
Well, last time, you came fully loaded even with health supplements.
I'm not Writer Kim Soo Hyun or anything,
I couldn't possibly write on without discussing the plot, is what you had said.
We should discuss the plot. This is an emergency.
I'm not doing this because I have ulterior motives.
Did I ask?
The New Episode 19
I'm glad that we got done so fast.
You have to keep this pace from now on.
Ah, before you leave, could you get me a glass of water?
Are you asking me to do that for you?
What can you do? The writer with high viewership ratings is currently busy writing.
What are you doing? Can't you see it's overflowing?
You can't even pour me some water?
So don't ask me to do it again!
Did you do it on purpose?
Yes, that's right.
Just move! It spilled to the floor!
Let's go.
Just like any other ordinary couple,
let's live like that.
Are you sure you won't regret it? What about your dream?
You won't give up?
Sung Mo,
get your emotions into it!
Go again.
(emotions)
Are you sure you won't regret it?
What about your dream? You won't give it up?
Ah, this isn't working, either.
I need something to help me get into it.
Are you sure you won't regret?
Are you sure you won't give up on your dream?
As long as you are by my side.
Woo Jin,
Woo Jin hugs Hye Rin.
No, no, no!
I can't practice at all like this.
Can't you stop now? You've been at it for 4 hours already. We even skipped lunch!
Wait a minute.
Why didn't I think of this before?
Instead, I can only give you 2 days a week for your drama.
That's the least you can do, Min Ah.
Of course. I understand.
Miss Sung Min Ah?
You can answer it.
Oh, there's no need. It's not an important call.
The phone is turned off, so the voicemail...
Ignoring my calls, huh?
Ok.
We have to start shooting in 2 weeks at the latest.
Yes.
I'm so sorry, Director. I'll be right back.
Why do you keep calling me?
If only you had answered it the first time.
You're the one who made me call you several times.
I'm in a meeting with a film production.
That's none of my concern. Just come to the shooting site right now.
Shooting doesn't start until 2 hours from now!
That's why we should get together and practice!
If you don't come now, I'll call the film production myself, got it?
Bye!
He must have really lost his mind!
Victory!
Let's go with this spirit! Sung Mo!
I'll be back, Gwang Soo.
Hey, what about lunch?
What should I do?
I'm so sorry, Director. Looks like I have to go now for the shooting schedule today.
It's ok. You may go.
I'm really sorry. I'll talk to you later, Director.
They must be really going great together.
Yes?
Kang Hyun Min and Min Ah, I mean.
Yes? Ah, no, that's not really...
At any rate, there must be no wedding announcements before the movie release.
Yes?
Just like any other ordinary couple,
let's live like that.
Let's leave.
Just like any other . . .
You're here!
Isn't it really cold outside?
Let's leave.
We should practice it like we're really doing it!
On your feet!
Practice is only practice.
This Kang Hyun Min's acting is for real!
Do you normally practice so casually, Miss Sung Min Ah?
If you really want to do it for real, get rid of that script first.
OK.
Now, ready, action!
Let's leave.
Just like any other ordinary couple,
let's live like that.
Are you sure you won't regret?
Can you really give up on your dream and live on?
As long as you're with me.
Woo Jin. . .
Mr. Kang Hyun Min . . .
I'm so sorry!
We start shooting in 10 minutes.
What are you doing? Go and clear up her misunderstanding!
Is that petty little misunderstanding that important?
My burning passion for acting won't die because of it!
Now, one more time.
Why do you have to be so extreme in everything?
I e-mailed you the script for episode 19, Mr. Kim Bong Dal.
Subtitles brought to you by His Royal Subjects Team @viki.com.
Wow, he doesn't even text me back any more.
Start outlining episode 20. We can't always work on it together.
Since they've worked for me,
I know how skilled and faithful they are.
Well, with your recommendation, I know they must be good, Sunbae.
Hm, looks like they have quite some experience?
They've gone through a lot in this field. They'll be a great asset to you.
You have to pay them at least that much.
At any rate, why are you handing over such great workers?
Ah, well,
it's because...
Yes, Director.
I just needed to stop at the office.
Yes, I'll be there in about 2 hours.
Hello?
Is this World Production's Joo Dong Suk PD?
Yes, but who is this?
Hello, I'm calling on behalf of Drama Production Company Golden Song.
We would like to offer you a position at our company with extra benefits.
Could we have a meeting?
Ah, uh, me?
Yes, I heard that you are very talented.
We'll give you 20% more than your current salary.
Ah, yes,
well, but, actually, I'm
currently working on a project.
Also, to leave my current company all of a sudden seems...
Of course, we understand.
You can take your time to consider our offer while finishing up with your current project.
We'll contact you again.
What now?
You were so heartbroken by that girl,
Did something good happen?
Ah, well, because I'm so talented,
I just got a job offer from another drama production company.
Hey, you too? I got one, too!
Me too!
What?
We all got an offer from somewhere?
Even so, I want to keep working with Representative Kim to the end.
I suppose I will, too.
At any rate, the salary they offered was pretty tempting.
True,
after all, our company is on the low side when it comes to salaries in this field.
Speaking of which,
I have a good idea.
The four of us can keep our loyalty,
but let's ask for a raise of 10%.
Or else, we'll quit. Threaten him like that in fake?
Yes.
Isn't it great?
I'm in.
I'm in, too.
Are you in?
In.
He's in, too.
What are you doing so huddled up together?
Representative, I have something to tell you.
I'll listen to it later. I have something to say first.
Once "Morning in Kyeongseong" is finished, I'm going to close my company.
What?
I got a partnership offer from Taesan Group,
but they didn't want to keep your employment.
By Taesan . . .
One of the top, leading companies in the country.
Therefore, everybody needs to look for a new job once the drama is over.
Team Leader Park, you should calculate the severance fee for everyone and put it on my desk.
Hey, what was that? Did we just get backstabbed?
I heard that wrong, right?
No wonder he had been surprisingly nice to us lately.
What was the number from that other production company?
Crossing out "Transfer employees (close the company)"
Sweet Potato
What?
What else?
I just got done with episode 20.
So, if you're in the office, make a short trip to my studio.
What do you think?
You did pretty well by yourself.
What?
This doesn't make sense.
Where?
Scene 38,
If Hye Rin is meeting with Representative Kang, is she betraying Woo Jin again?
Ah, that's because there is a surprise element later on.
It's all explained in scene 56.
What is it?
Ah, no, nothing.
What do you think? Am I right?
Yes, you did well up to the ending.
What? You didn't even read it to the end!
I read it all.
You just flipped the page, and you read it all?
Yes, speedreading.
Besides, I said it's good. Why are you complaining?
Just keep writing the script. Starting tomorrow, we'll have to go page by page.

Moonhwa University Hospital, please.
Your condition is progressing much faster than most other patients.
Unfortunately, your right eye has already lost it's sight.
It's already started for your left eye, too.
How long will it take?
For the left eye to lose sight completely?
No.
How much time do I have left?
It is difficult to say for sure,
but looking at it's current pace, somewhere between 4 weeks
and 2 months from now, your left eye will lose sight as well.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get.
He was so careless and rude.
Was I clingy or what?
Is reading this that hard?
Why does it have 2 sheets of page 3?
Then, he didn't get to see scene 56 at all.
What do you think. Am I right?
Yes, you did well up to the ending.
What? You didn't even read to the end!
I read it all.
Why did he lie like that?
At first, my vision was just blurry a little.
I thought it would get better over time.
But one eye lost its sight,
and eventually, the other one did, too.
What are you doing? It's overflowing!
What is it?
No, nothing.
I found out later
that that's how optic neuropathy progresses.
This can't be!
That's not possible!
Representative!
Are you inside?
How to learn Braille
What to do from now on: 1. Mother 2. Complete Morning of Kyeongseong ...
5. Learn Braille 6. Care facility for the blind
At least up until now, Writer Lee has been good about not making us do live shooting.
Of course, that ends tomorrow.
Yes.
It's been 5 years since the last time I had to do that dogged live shooting.
Director.
What is it?
Do you think you can finish Morning of Kyeongseong if I am not here?
What do you mean?
Can you do it?
Why? Does that Taesan or whatever company want you to start working with them sooner?
Yes?
I heard from Joo PD.
I heard that you got a partnership offer there.
Ah, yes.
Go if you must, but only after finishing this.
Even though I have been calling you crazy dog and made fun of you,
this drama
doesn't work even for a day without you, Representative Kim.
Therefore, until this is done,
don't even think about running away.
Now, let's pick up the pace!
It's going to get dark soon! - Yes!
Yes!
Is the preparation for the move going well?
I'm talking about the move to Taesan Group.
When will it be?
Ah, that matter ...
I want to send flowers. When is it?
Well, the priority at the moment is "Morning in Kyeongseong."
So just focus on the drama for now.
The date for the move hasn't been decided yet?
We'll get to it eventually.
Then. . .
Forget Lee Go Eun
The relationship between the writer and the producer
requires a balanced tension of fear and respect.
Now that you have started to like me,
that's impossible.
Working without any emotion, that is my rule.
And that rule is always important.
Crossing out "Forget Lee Go Eun"
Shall we go in?
Too much cold air isn't good for you.
Maybe in just a little bit.
Hello!
You're busy. Why did you come?
I'm not busy. My employees are doing all the work.
Still, as the representative, you should be present in the work place.
You shouldn't just leave all the work to your employees.
Mom.
What?
When I was young,
what was it like when I made fun of you and was mean because you couldn't see?
Wasn't it upsetting?
When was that...such a long time ago.
I'm sorry, Mom.
What's the matter?
Did something happen?
Tell me.
Did something bad happen to you?
It's nothing.
Once my current drama is done, I might be off to abroad because my business is going so well.
So stay still.
Since I might not be able to see your face for a while,
I want to keep your face in my eyes.
Oh, I see.
It's a good thing that your business is going well.
Instead of worrying, just go and return,
because I will be fine.
Your hands are cold. Let's go inside, Mom.
Yes.
By the way, is that a new scarf?
Yes.
I got it as a gift.
A gift? From whom?
She begged me not to tell you...
Actually, to tell you the truth, I...
confessed my feelings to the Representative and got rejected.
My child
just doesn't have a good eye for women.
That's right. I'm pretty like this.
I agree that he doesn't have an eye for women.
I brought a present for you.
There's a present?
Yes.
I knit it myself,
It keeps you really warm in the winter.
If you look here, it says B D K.
B-D-K?
Yes. Bong Dal Kim.
You shouldn't do that to such a nice young lady.
If it's because you have to go abroad,
tell her.
Because it seems to me, she really is a nice girl.
Where have you been?
Did you finish the script?
it's cold. Instead of catching cold again, go in.
How long were you going to conceal it?
Until when were you going to conceal the fact that you are going blind?
You said it was depression.
You said it had nothing to do with me and it was none of my business.
Correct.
It's none of your business so beat it.
How can it not concern me?
So what?
What can you do for me?
Yes. What you are saying about my not being able to see is correct.
I won't be able to eat by myself or go to the bathroom.
I won't be able to see the dramas which I made.
or the scripts either.
I won't be able to see your face
And where you are standing,
and whether you are smiling or crying
I won't be able to see.
Is that why you are giving up?
What if I say it doesn't matter to me?
For me, it doesn't matter.
Next week Monday evening at 9:55 p.m. the last episode will be broadcast.

Preview
We have to endure lack of sleep, script by pages, and miserable life
to make sure there's no shame in our every minute, every second
and keep us reminded of who we are at this moment.
The last tape of "Morning in Kyeongseong" hasn't made it to the editing room yet.
Even if it's just 1% of hope, that's better than nothing.
A miracle is not something you wait for, but something you create.
The Representative, the Representative, on his way, had an accident...
You must come back with that miracle!
