"Episode 6 The Division in front of Enemies" "This is your writing contract." "Well, then... sign here." "Leave now." "Move!" " Get out of my way!" " What are you guys doing?" "Let go." "I said to MOVE!" "No, Lee Go Eun!" "What is this?" "!" "DRAG HIM OUT OF HERE!" "YOU CAN'T SIGN!" "Fine, I'll give you what you want." "I will leave its genre the same as the current one, noir." "And without the present day's scene, I will keep the first episode same as your draft!" "Writer, it's a lie." "Just go ahead and sign." "WHAT'S THIS?" "DRAG HIM OUT OF HERE!" "Wait just a minute!" "Go on." "I'll take out the supervisor too." "Writer Lee, it isn't once or twice that he's fooled you!" "Because he's desperate, he's lying to get what he wants." "No, that's not the case." "You know how Anthony works, it's all the same as three years ago!" "NO, LEE GO EUN!" "You'd better be prepared for the law suit, because I'll never lose it to you." "Don't trouble yourself about it." "You made a good decision." "Yes." "We should go eat." "There is a really great Japanese restaurant nearby." "Next time." "Today I have another engagement." "Ah, yes." "If you were thinking of signing from the start, what was your reason for calling me?" "Do you know what you just did?" "You just tore my drama, no, my life to pieces." "Didn't know I was such an important person." "What?" "!" "Why not?" "You get to do whatever you want to do but I can't do what I want to do?" "That's why I said we'd do without the melodrama as a noir, without a supervisor, whatever you wanted!" "Exactly, so fulfill all those promises as you said." "What does that mean?" "Director, you are amazing." "In the end, you really defeated Anthony." "What did I say." "The one who laughs in the end is the winner." "Director, what's the matter?" "What?" "What did you just say?" "I didn't sign." "LEE GO EUN!" "Next time..." "So the reason you came here, was to get what you want under the pretext of signing?" "Yes, so make sure you definitely keep your promises." "Since I have it recorded here." "Geez, where did you learn to do that?" "Who do you think?" "From you, Representative." "What?" "Why are you so surprised?" "Like an amateur..." "I heard this is what they usually do in the field." "Do you have confidence you can do it?" "I'm asking if you can take responsibility for your decision." "What are you trying to say?" "If in November we were to completely fail, the sun will shine as if nothing's happened." "But you and I will be finished." "I know, that it's not just you and I, but all the people involved in this work." "We will either succeed or fail solely on my decision." "That's why I can't give up." "We will win." "Are you sure you can win?" "I mean, if you're sure what's the chance (%) of winning?" "You've always told me, "Believe in me."" "This time, Representative, it's your turn to believe in me." "What is this?" "This is the key for that writing space you wanted." "My own writing place?" "So this is something you prepared?" "You thought I'd make you write in that tiny place forever?" "We MUST win this war." "That rascal." "Here." "Over this way." "Over this way." "Did anyone see a cutter knifer here?" "What?" "On that brick pillar, you shouldn't paint with white!" "Not that one, but over there, please paint there." "Everyone, enjoy your meal." "Did you know?" "That the Representative picked this place?" "Yes." "You already knew?" "Yes." " So only I didn't know?" "!" "I found the place." "Really?" "Deposit is 5 million won ($5,000) and monthly rent fee is 300,000 won ($300)." "Deposit is 5 million won ($5,000) and monthly rent fee is 300,000 won ($300)." "Where should we put this?" "Just put it anywhere over here." "Cheers." "Cheers!" "Finally, Writer Lee gets her own writing space!" "It was with everyone's help." "To be honest, I never imagined" "Director would ever get you your own place!" "Though Director seems like a vicious man from the outside, he's not like that on the inside." "But hyung, what kind of Director will come?" "Who knows?" "That... is not going to be easy." "Why?" "I think Director Kim Hyun Min would be good for "Morning in Kyeongseong"." "We've done other works together, too." "You see, Director Kim is, uh.... difficult to get, it seems he's already working on another piece." "Then what about Director Jeong?" "Ah Director Jeong!" "..will also be difficult." "Difficult?" "Uh, that's because..." "Why?" "Do you possibly have another director in mind?" "No, it's not like that!" "Just wait a little longer, we're doing our best to convince..." "Convince?" "There was a meeting of the regular PDs that caused a problem with assigning a director for the drama." "I will never work with that jerk, Anthony." "When he was kicked out of this field, everybody applauded in celebration!" "I still get upset whenever I think about the way he humiliated me!" "And now, you expect me to work with him?" "Yes, I understand your point." "But what's important is that this "Morning of Kyeongseong" is not just Anthony Kim's drama, but a drama of our S Broadcasting." "Do you understand?" "You're the one who'd been insisting, Director, that the broadcasting stations should not work with scum like him!" "It's not like he's the representative of Empire, he's just a representative of a rookie third-rate..." "Third rate?" "!" "Director Kim, your "Paradise Lost" had hit the rating of 35.9%." "Also, Director Jeong and Director Yoon, you all had big hits after working with me and became representative directors of S Broadcasting." "How can you, after achieving your current fame thanks to me, call me a third-rate producer?" "!" "You call that fame?" "It was humiliation!" "You were ruling the shooting sites as if you were the director." "I won't take that again." "I took action only because you weren't a good leader!" "What?" "Are you talking down to me?" "What do you think you are doing?" "!" "This is a statement of the position of the regular PDs." "We'd like to make it clear to you that every one of us, PDs of S Broadcasting," "Statement of refusal to work refuses to direct Anthony's production, "Morning of Kyeongseong."" "Let's get out of here." "You normally persist with your own decisions, why are you backing down this time?" "Are you trying to get back at me?" "Get back at you?" "Get back at me for having my way with the slot." "Representative Kim..." "Do you judge all the people of the world by your own standards alone?" "Just answer my question." "I'm the director of the drama department." "Regardless of whether I like the slot decision or not, once it has been decided," "I have also put my life on the line for this drama." "Happy now?" "Oh, yeah... and also..." "Does it ever occur to you that your twisted ways of doing business cost you the trust of our PD's?" "I trust viewership ratings more than people." "Also, I'm one of.. no, more than anyone, have put my life on the line for "Morning of Kyeongseong."" "If we can't find one internally, then..." "I'll bring a seasoned veteran director from outside." "A seasoned veteran?" "Like who?" "I think the situation will be the same outside, too." "This morning I saw this coming and I thought of someone." "Director Goo?" "Yeah." "If the internal directors refuse to work with us, why not work with freelancers like Director Goo?" "He hasn't done anything in a while, but he is a tried and true veteran." "He was the best at one point, with four dramas that had over 30% in viewership rating..." "But... he's a goner now." "Goner?" "Five years ago, when he left the field, he retired completely and lives out in the countryside." "Retired?" "Why?" "I don't know the specifics, but... there are rumors that suggest that he's become an alcoholic." "Well..." "I've also heard that he's become a dog seller in some remote place." "A dog seller?" "No way." "Director Goo Young Mok is a serious alcoholic who can't even function as a person." "No way he can direct again." "No, that's something you have to create." "Also, wasn't it you who had produced the last drama of Director Goo?" "You should know very well what a great director he is, then." "Listen to me." "Given our current situation, the best person for the job of directing "Morning of Kyeongseong" is Director Goo Young Mok." "No one else will do." "We've asked other external directors whose schedules are compatible, but they all said no." "It takes a dog to recognize a dog." "Director..." "Long time, no see 'Cheongdamdong's Crazy Dog.'" "I don't live in Cheongdamdong any more." "A dog is a dog no matter where he lives." "Come inside." "What brings you all the way here?" "Can't just be to have a drink with me." "I want you to come with me to Seoul." "Seoul?" "That's a real dog mess there." "What are you scheming?" "I want you to direct a drama." "Drama?" "Why?" "Is there no one willing to direct for you?" "After not seeing you for awhile, you're still making me laugh." "Stop wasting your effort and go back." "I was done directing dramas 5 years ago." "That's when my life ended, too." "First day of broadcasting is November 5th, 20 episodes, period piece." "My contact information is included, so give me a call after you read it." "Crazy bast***." "You're ruining my drink, get lost!" "You've been drinking for 5 years, haven't you had enough?" "You're the one that had said, the place for me to breathe and to stop breathing is the shooting site." "There's not much time." "You have to give me a decision within 3 days." "Get out!" "Before I stick the dogs on you!" "Representative Oh." "Yes, Chairman." "Explain it to me." "I don't know what you mean..." "The Japanese investor, the broadcasting slot!" "How much longer are you going to let Anthony have his way like that?" "I'm sorry." "A hound that had been loyal to its master bites the master." "Do you know what will happen?" "Usually, the dog is shot right then and there." "Now listen, for three years, I guided that kid, bit me and then ran away." "That guy... what should we do about him?" "We must catch him." "No..." "Catch him and kill him." "Before he finishes sharpening his fangs in preparation of revenge." "If left alone, he's going to attack me with those fangs." "I understand." "You'd better make sure that you do it right this time." "There are so many hounds out there to replace you." "Let's go." "It's been awhile." "Yes." "Yes." "Once more..." "I'll need your help." "When do you have time?" "Hello everyone!" "This is Cho Young Goo from 'People whom Cho Young Goo have met!" "'" "Our guest today is South Korea's most popular, handsome guy, the prince in the drama industry." "The top star, everyone who is it?" "KANG HYUN MIN!" "Korea's best top star, Kang Hyun Min, come on out!" "Wow, seriously, your popularity is as high as the sky, Mr. Kang Hyun Min." "Oh, thank you." "Everybody, as you see Kang Hyun Min in person, how do you feel?" "He's so hot!" " He's so handsome!" "They say you are very good looking." "Thank you." "When I see you here, seriously, the word "sculpture-like handsome guy" used to describe you isn't exaggerated." "Oh, you overpraised me." "Thank you." "Wow, you're even humble." "Indeed, you're the top actor." "Yes, yes, yes." "How do you feel about all these people coming out to see you ?" "Oh, well, of course, I'm very thankful." "Is that so?" "Yes, I'm so grateful." "People who love Kang Hyun Min, scream!" "Thank you so much." "Thank you, Thank you." "Yes, yes." "Kang Hyun Min ssi, I don't think we can do an interview here!" "I agree." "Let's go inside and do the interview." "Shall we?" "Because, in this crowd..." "I just don't think it's possible." "I understand." "Okay, everyone!" "We'll be going in now." "See you guys later!" "Look outside." "All your loving fans are still outside." "Your popularity is incredible!" "Thank you." "So, I heard you're shooting a new drama." "Yes." "The drama's called, 'Morning of Kyeongseong' and I am playing the role as 'Kim Woo Jin.'" "'Morning of Kyeongseong?" "'" "Wow, the title's very impressive." "So, is there a reason why you chose this drama over others?" "Well, let's see..." "Reading the script made my whole body shudder." "It gave you the shudders?" "I thought this was one drama I should never pass on." "I see..." "Reading the script gave you the chills." "I'm really looking forward to seeing this drama." "But, on another note..." "Yes?" "There's a rumor that you're being paid the most among all actors in the country." "That's right isn't it?" "That... is not true." "When I select a drama" "I do not ever take into account how much I get paid." "I leave all that to my manager so, in truth, I have no idea how much I make." "A drama is a work of art." "I believe that excessive thought of money... can be fatal to an actor." "Wow, 'excessive thought of money can be fatal to an actor?" "' You are truly a great actor...." "What's wrong?" "No matter how much I think about it, I'm still angry." "Does it even make sense that a drama is not made melo?" "This drama seems better that it's not melo." "Darling, do you think I like melo dramas?" "Melo is money..." "Money!" "It has to be melo so people love the drama, and that's exactly how I get CF offers!" "Ah, that's right, the director can change that." "The director can change it towards a more melo drama." "What?" "Who's our film director, Kwang Soo?" "Who knows?" "Has it not been decided yet?" "Call Anthony and find out." "Right now." "Who is it?" "Who are you dating?" "It's..." " It's..." " Who?" "!" "You 'One Night' viewers. (This show)" "Hello?" "You bastard!" "Director Goo?" "Yes, you piece of trash." "Did you read the script?" "Shut up, you dog!" "Please calm down..." "No matter how much I think about it, I'm too pissed off to calm down." "Why did you just bring me such an impressive script now!" "Are you listening to what I'm saying?" "You rotton excuse of a human being." "Yes, I'm listening." "Where are you right now?" "I'll be there as soon as the sun's up tomorrow, so you all better be prepared!" "What is going on that we're meeting so early? I'm a bit worried..." "Good morning!" "Now, everyone say hello to..." "Director Goo Young Mok, who will be directing 'Morning of Kyeongseong.'" "It's nice to meet you gentlemen." "I am Goo Young Mok." "What are you doing not applauding?" "Who's that dummy over there?" "Oh, I'm a new script writer, but not a dummy, Director..." "My name is Lee Go Eun." "Oh?" "So you're Lee Go Eun." "You also look like a something' alright." "I look forward to working with you!" "Welcome to the team, Director!" "Let's all do well." "Welcome!" "Hello, Director!" "Oh, it's been too long." "Hello, Director!" "Nice to see you again!" "Oh!" "Sunbae-nim!" "Hello, Sunbae-nim!" "Oh, how long has it been?" "Have you guys been well?" "Yes, yes." "Are you excited now that we're in some real chaos," "Crazy Dog?" "Could you please not call me 'Crazy Dog' anymore?" "Drop the pretense, you punk." "Wow, how long has it been?" "Why are you so excited?" "This is it, isn't it?" "Stop your fussing, you punk." "They're here." "Aigo." "Director!" "Welcome back, Director!" "It's been a very long time!" "So you're the broadcasting director dog now?" "Ah, yes." "You're still the same, Director Goo." "Speaking of which, you're still here?" "Ah, Director..." "Please show me your enthusiasm, just like you did when I first entered the company." "Please take good care of the show." "Ask that to the rating." "Both you and I will die or live depending on that number." "It's this way." "This is the place." "Writer Lee?" "Nice to see you!" "Hello, Director!" "Hello!" "Director of Photography!" "Wow, how long has it been!" "?" "This is the lighting manager." "Wow... how long has it been?" "This is the director of photography." "This set is impressive!" "Do you think..." "Director Goo won't have problems?" "There has to be problems." "Pardon?" "We supported Anthony to get his time slot and we now have some power..." "Now, we must take Director Nam down." "Wouldn't it be easy to take Director Nam down, if his first drama, as the Broadcasting Director, fails?" "How do you feel?" "I'm so excited!" "It makes my heart flutter that my own script will be made into a real drama!" "Keep that up with your script, too." "Yes, Director." "We should have dinner together with the team." "I'll make a reservation at a restaurant near the company." "I'm already meeting someone tonight." "Director Goo is a charming person." "Yes, yes he is." "But don't like him too much." "There's no such thing as a conflictless drama, but there's no such thing as a conflictless set either." "Aigo, Director!" "How do you do, Director?" "I'm Kang Hyun Min." "I see, you're Hyun Min." "Rascal, you are indeed handsome." "Please make me look good on camera, too." "Okay." "Sit down, sit down." "I can't tell you how glad we are that you are here, Director." "I would especially like to talk to you about the genre of Noir regarding this drama." "What are your thoughts on the genre?" "That's what I like about it." "The fact that it is a fresh genre without the cheesy melancholy." "That's why it really suited me." "That's right." "You're even good at selecting a good project..." "I see why you've become such a star, Hyun Min." "Yes." "But even though I think that it's okay, in general wouldn't it be good to have a little bit of melo [drama] in it?" "Don't pay any attention to that Anthony-like nonsense!" "No, no, I don't." "Especially the ending scene of episode 1... is so full of the genre, it's awesome!" "Exactly!" "Starting with the ending of episode 1, we're going to overwhelm the screen!" "Hyun Min, your sharp eyes and your sculptured body will be captured by 12 cameras," "Action!" "A cruise floating over the deep blue sea waves, sea gulls flying around, and the protagonist, Kim Jin Woo takes down the enemy one by one." "Your heart is racing as the fuse to the explosive burns," "Explode!" "Jump into the sea!" "Flames of fire everywhere." "Splashes of water can be heard as you swim across the tall waves." "Close in on the sharp eyes of Kim Jin Woo, and then..." "CUT!" "Director, this is amazing!" "The best scene ever in Korean drama history!" "What's even more impressive is that we're doing it for real without computer graphics." "Gwang Soo!" "By the way, you do know how to swim, right?" "Of course." "I've been training just in case." "Do you know how to swim in the sea?" "Excuse me?" "The sea?" "Even though the weather is not ideal, it's not winter yet, so the sea should be okay." "You can do it, right?" "Eh?" "Yes." "Very good." "We should do this as we had originally planned," " Yes." "and if we need more, we can talk later as they come up." " Yes." "You go and show him." "What?" "You should look at this." "Director Goo said to redo the budget for episode 1 according to this..." "Where is Director Goo now?" "Five years is a long time, but "Morning of Kyeongseong" has given me hope out of that despair." "I, Goo Young Mok, will treat it as if it were my last drama, and leave my old, idle ways of life and pathetic attitude behind." "I will put my very best into this project!" "Therefore, this project will be shot at a huge scale to match the quality it deserves, and we have a long, arduous journey ahead of us." "Everybody, are you ready?" "!" "Yes!" "Though it's not alcohol, let's have a toast." "For "Morning of Kyeongseong!"" "Cheers!" "Oh, Representative Kim, good to see you." "Have a seat." "Before that, let's talk outside." "What?" "What do you want to say?" "What is this?" "What about this?" "You're asking why?" "Twelve cameras, a helicopter, 1,200 extras, the costs for actors, costumes, and food for filming for 5 days, and even an exploding cruise!" "You want to spend over a 1 billion won (~$1million) for just the last 5 minutes of episode 1, are you for real?" "Yeah, and so?" "What about it?" "There's no way we can do that." "Can't do it?" "Yes, can't do it." "I want to pour every last drop of my passion into this, why can't we do it?" "!" "Why should I burn my money to fuel your passion, Director?" "This is the most important scene of this drama!" "Even so, over a billion won for just 5 minutes is too much." "I'm preparing a team that can work with a reasonable budget, so work something out with them." "And if I can't do that?" "Then I will be forced to use my last resort." "What's that?" "You're saying you will fire me?" "If you won't change your mind, then, yes, I'll fire you." "Don't play around." "You may be the one who brought me on board, but you can't kick me off so easily." "That sounds fun." "Oh it would be very fun." "Really, what's your personal problem?" "If people don't do what you want, you threaten to fire them." "If you don't know, but out since it's not your concern." "Representative!" "Find another director." "I already told you." "There is no one else." "Find one!" "Even if you have to search the whole country, or the whole world!" "If there isn't anyone, create someone!" "Yes, Mr. Kang Hyun Min." "Where?" "Has it been 3 years?" "Enough with the formalities, you're the representative of the Empire Production." "But who is it this time?" "The one you want to teach a lesson?" "It's someone you also know very well." "If it's someone I know very well, who is it?" "Kang Hyun Min." "Actor Kang Hyun Min?" "I'm counting on your help." "Just like when you helped with bringing down Anthony with the media reports 3 years ago." "Just like bringing down Anthony 3 years ago, huh?" "Anyhow, why is Kang Hyun Min your target?" "If I can't cut off the head of the enemy, I shall cut off his hand that wields the sword." "Me, go in the sea?" "Even in the winter?" "Does this make any sense?" "What kind of a director is he?" "He needs to learn to respect his actors." "What if, while shooting the ending of episode 1, something goes wrong like that?" "What about the rest of the drama?" "I'm irreplaceable for this whole business!" "Writer, are you listening to what I'm saying?" "Well, can't you just go along and do it?" "No way!" "They want to dunk me, Kang Hyun Min, the superstar, into the cold winter sea!" "Just do it?" "Do you even know what the sea temperature is today?" "I even looked it up." "It's 6ºC (43ºF)!" "Six degrees!" "I can't do this." "No, I choose not to!" "You call yourself an actor, but the reason why you won't do it is because it's cold?" "Yes, it's because it's cold!" "I can tolerate a lot of things, but not cold!" "Never!" "Suck it up!" "I refuse to suck it up." "Cut out that ending scene of episode 1." "What's that?" "Or fix it so I won't have to swim." "I've got plenty of other mind-wrecking things right now, do you have to add to that, Kang Hyun Min?" "You promised." "That you would write for me." "How is that promise related to this issue?" "No matter what, I won't go in the sea." "Either, talk Director Goo out of it, or change the script." "I'm leaving." "You're implying you'll fire me?" "If you don't change your mind, then, yes, I'll fire you." "What is this?" "This is the budget list of episode 1 based on the wishes of Director Goo." "And so?" "So?" "!" "It can't be produced this way!" "I'm going to change the director." "Have you tried reasoning?" "He's very stubborn." "Isn't persuasion one of the skills of a producer?" "Right?" "If persuasion doesn't work, then you should increase the budget." "So you're a person without skill, Producer Kim." "In such a circumstance, don't we have to change the producer instead of changing the director?" "Director!" "Representative Kim..." "Right now all the directors said that they can't shoot a drama with you." "In such a case, what do you think will be our choice as a broadcasting station?" "Representative Kim, if you have no skills, quit." "We will sign a contract with Director Goo directly and make this drama on our own." "This person..." "Writer Lee..." "Didn't Director Goo contact you perhaps?" "He didn't." "And the Representative?" "Well, that... he went to the broadcasting station." "It seems like he'll tell them that he's going to fire Director Goo." "Writer Lee..." "Taxi!" "You can come in." "You were looking for me?" "Ah, yes." "Yes, Director Nam." "About "Morning of Kyeongseong"..." "There is a possibility that we will be producing it ourselves, so please make preparations for that." "But..." "In-house production ?" "Yes." "Yes?" "Director, someone is here to see you." "Okay." "Oh, Writer Lee." "How... is the script-writing going well?" "Yes." "As you may know, there is a bit of a problem between Director Goo and Representative Kim." "But you just need to focus on writing, Writer Lee." "I came because I heard that our Representative was here." "Yes." "You'll have heard of it, our Representative and Director Goo, neither of them are willing to give way." "It would be good if you could mediate between them." "Please do us the favour." "Well," "I gave a final notice to Representative Kim and since you will find it out soon, I'll tell you what's going on." "If Producer Kim can't clear up this situation, we have no choice but to produce "Morning of Kyeongseong" ourselves at SBC." "In-house production?" "Yes, in-house production." "So, that means World Production will be excluded from the production team." "Umm..." "Do you really... have to go this far?" "Ah, nothing about your role will change, so please don't worry too much." "I'm sorry, but" "I think producing the drama through World Production is the right choice." "But, why are you on Representative Kim's side?" "Are you trying to repay him for reinstating you as the writer?" "Huh?" "Representative Kim reinstated me...?" "What are you going to do now?" "I heard it from the director himself." "He said if it's not Director Goo they are going for in-house production." "It's not for you to interfere." "So are you going to pull out of the production?" "That's not for you to worry about either." "I'm asking because I'm curious how you're feeling." "You fired people whom you don't like, but now you're in the other side's situation." "So I'm wondering how you feel, probably it f***ing sucks." "It feels dirty and pathetic, right?" "That's why people hate you." "Don't concern yourself." "That's why there is no one left at your side." "I don't need those bastards." "But you said you wanted to make a successful comeback." "To make that success last long, you must not lose people." "You don't have any power now, not like when you were in Empire." "What, are the things I said not correct?" "Since you don't have power now, you wanted to make billions of profit this time, so that you can use it for the next drama." "Am I not correct?" "That's right." "Making this drama successful and taking the reward from it for my comeback is the purpose of all of these." "And avenging on those people who took away my position and trampled on my power is the reason." "Are they all like that?" "People born and raised in wealthy homes and priviledged environments?" "Are they all like you?" "Why can't you just accept the reality of having fallen to the ground?" "Is resenting the world your only option?" "So?" "Did I do anything wrong?" "You, why on earth did you end up making dramas?" "There's no such nonsense as a reason." "You... why on earth did you end up making dramas?" "You jerk, what did you say!" "?" "If you call me a fatherless son of a b... once more and you keep prattling on about my mother not being able to see," "I'll kill you!" "What kind of kid is taught that?" "Since you're blind, I can't tell you to look (at my son's face)." "What are you going to do about my son's face?" "!" "I am sorry." "It's my fault, because I'm so lacking." "Why are you not apologizing?" "I didn't do anything wrong." "What?" "I'm speechless!" "I'm going to report you to the police!" "The likes of this one should eat beany rice." "Eun Seok's mother!" "Eun Seok's mother?" "Mother." "The expert already confirmed it." "This suicide doesn't make sense..." "["The Head of Detectives" - a famous Korean cop series in 1971~1989.]" "The test result came out." "Stature, age, blood type, they all did not match." " What about the fingerprints?" " Well..." "Pay attention to the..." "Good job, you're doing well." "Did you find Director Goo?" "Yes, he's in the Bongcheondong neighborhood." "I'll send you his location." "If you don't change your mind, then, yes, I'll fire you." "Give me a bottle of soju, please." "Yes." "What business do you have here?" "Are you going back to your cottage?" "Get lost." "You bastard, what the heck are you doing!" "?" "All in all, 1.05 billion Won." "This is the money you need to shoot the final scene of 5 minutes you want to shoot." "What game are you playing?" "!" "Those 5 minutes... shoot them." "In exchange I'll ask you one thing." "What is this drama to you?" "Nothing will change. "Morning of Kyeongsang" is my last drama!" "It's not." "It's the foundation for the next 10 years of your career." "I don't care about your sweet-talks about the future!" "Each episode is 60 minutes, so 1200 minutes in total." "Spending 1 billion on 5 minutes makes the remaining 1195 minutes a stretch." "No, this way your future 10 years disappear." "For those momentary five minutes, please don't throw away your glorious 10 years." "And five years ago don't forget the day when you hit rock bottom." "Hey you crazy bastard!" "Stop!" "If I give up on those five minutes, what are you going to give me?" "The 5 lost years that you want to forget" "I will turn them into the joy of success." "Cleanly, without a trace." "Hey punk," "I told you to throw that bluff away first." "If it's a bluff or not, you will see when the time comes." "Director, about that Director Goo and Anthony..." "What about Anthony?" "Director, about that Director Goo and Anthony..." "What about Anthony?" "Well, looks like Anthony has worked the kinks out with Director Goo, so everything is in working order now!" "In working order?" "Yes!" "Sounded like Anthony was able to persuade Director Goo." "It seems like..." "Anthony has changed somewhat.." "He's a different man now..." "What a strange world." "Alright, I see..." "Director Goo, huh?" "Alright." " See you." "What?" "Really?" "So the last scene of the first episode..." "Yes, I decided to curb down my ambitions." "That is a great decision, Director!" "But what made you change your mind?" "Nothing special, it's just 5 minutes, not worth throwing out 10 years' worth of glory." "Wow, I'm so impressed!" "Impressed?" "Whatever." "Once you have enough experience, you'll become more sensible, too, Writer Lee." "At any rate, I heard that Hyun Min refuses to do it?" "Yes, he says swimming in the sea is too dangerous and difficult for him." "Yes, he says swimming in the sea is too dangerous and difficult for him." "He asked me to change the script if we couldn't change your mind." "Okay." "So it's too much for Hyun Min, huh?" "What time is the appointment with Hyun Min?" "I'll get to the point right away with Director Goo, and you need to chime in right then." "I got it." "You have to stand your ground." "Be firm." "Got it?" "I said I understood." "Let's go, Sparta." "Let's go, Sparta." "Get that thing ready, please." "Yes, I see." "Director, I heard that you like to drink." "So we prepared a special gift for you." "I stopped drinking." "Excuse me?" "Oh, we didn't know...." "Well then, instead of wine..." "Nah, it's ok." "As long as I don't drink." "Here I'll pour you a glass." "Yes." "Director." "About the ending scene of episode 1, the way I see it, there is something that bothers me." "We're thinking that the scale is rather unrealistic..." "What do you think?" "I agree." "I was a bit overly excited about that." "That's right, Director!" "It was overly unrealistic, indeed!" "Nowadays, the computergraphic technology is so advanced, you can just do that." "You can just shoot it in an artificial pool, there's no need to do it in real sea water." "That's so old fashioned." "That's not what I mean." "I meant that my ambitions went over our budget." "What?" "Then, how are we doing that scene?" "Even if we turn down the scale, we should still film at sea." "Um, Director, what do you mean by that?" "No matter what, we've got to shoot Kang Hyun Min swimming in the sea." "Forget the clown that just poses in front of the camera for good looks, we're going to turn you into a serious actor with a tenacious passion." "How about it?" "Don't you want to stop being a clown and start becoming a real actor?" "No." "I cannot accept that." "Hyun, Hyun Min!" "The wilder the dog, once tamed, turns into something great." "Give me just a moment, Director." "Hyung, how did it go?" "You don't know?" "Tell them they won't see me until they get this thing sorted out!" "Huh?" "Stop!" "HEY!" "Stop!" "You can't just storm out like this!" "Come back in, let's talk to the Director..." "Even if I die I'm not going back in, so shut the door and GET LOST!" "Alright, then." "You're not getting out?" "I can't get out." "If you don't get off, I won't get out either even if I die." "They just took off." "Yes." "I also saw with my own eyes that he had a drink." "Okay." "I understand." "You've worked hard." "Get started with our arrangements." "Yes, I understand." "I heard that you and Director Goo have reached an agreement." "Yes." "That's a relief." "Were you sincere in saying it's a relief?" "I'm just dying to know, how did you do it?" "Do what?" "Neither Director Goo nor you, Representative Kim, are known for compromising their positions." "I made a deal." "What kind of a deal?" "I don't think I'm obliged to divulge that information to you." "What?" "!" ""A clown that poses in front of the camera for a few good looking shots"?" ""Turn me into a real actor"?" "How dare he say that to me, Kang Hyun Min!" "Don't you agree?" "!" "Why couldn't he say that?" "What?" "!" "Don't even think about going back and hiding in a pension in Yangpyeong to play video games." "Turn the car around." "Get out." "I know you don't really have anywhere else to go." "Why are you like this?" "!" "You're like a kid whining to his mom whenever something goes wrong." "Why wouldn't I have anywhere to go?" "Then where?" "Where would you go?" "I'll go see my mom!" "What?" "Ouch!" "Man, everything is just driving me crazy!" "Aigo, what do I do?" "!" "Aish, darn it!" "Shouldn't we get out?" "Oh, are you alright?" "I'm really sorry." "Why do something that'll make you sorry?" "Let the insurance company take care of it." "Ah yes, we shall do that." "Oh, by the way, aren't you Kang Hyun Min?" "Never mind." "Just give me your contact info." "Of course." "Man, what a hassle!" "What is going on?" "Just a fender-bender." "I rear-ended his car." "Oh, is that so?" "Have you reached an agreement?" "Yes, yes." "Ah, but I think he has been drinking." "Drinking?" "Sunbae-nim," "I'm sure your project's going well." "Thanks to you." "I haven't done anything." "It's all thanks to your skills." "What is it?" "Bad news." "What bad news?" "Kang Hyun Min just got caught for drunk driving." "His blood-alcohol content is enough to get his license suspended." "Where are you?" "Ah, where is this?" "Hello?" "Hello, Lee Go Eun?" "SAY SOMETHING, Lee Go Eun! Preview" "Tell me!" "How did this happen?" "If we let Kang Hyun Min resume his role, the public will criticize our whole broadcasting station." "Shouldn't you partner up with someone more trustable?" "Let's replace Kang Hyun Min with a different actor." "I heard that Writer Lee Go Eun isn't doing so well, either, so both writer and actor should be replaced." "I'm just asking for some time!" "Carzy Dog, we need Song Bit Na." "Absolutely." "I think everything was a set up, not a coincidence." "Oh Jin Wan." "Ah, you're firing me, Kang Hyun Min?" "If we don't get this worked out in three days, we're doomed!" "Ah, I don't know, I don't know I'm going crazy!" "The only person who can solve this problem is your mother." "You know, my tummy aches too much, Doctor." "She doesn't have any external injuries or any special symptoms, why hasn't she woken up yet?" "The question is.. whether there is brain damage." "Who are you?" "Do..." "I know that person, too?" "Why do you not know me?" "You absolutely must remember me!" "Even if you have to use the power of hatred, just remember me, Lee Go Eun!"
