"Episode 15 We have crossed the Rubicon" "Do you like me by any chance?" "But then, there is no way you would." "Representative." "What?" "N--No, it's nothing." "So silly." "Right!" "I like you!" "I said I like you." "I must be crazy, I'm crazy." "I'm not in my right mind." "I like you!" "I said I like you." "Hyung, what are you waiting for?" "Just tell her like a man!" "Easier said than done." "I just can't work up the courage." "That's why you need to get brave." "Just make up your mind and walk up to her..." "Walk up to what?" "You have arrived." "PD Joo, what is it?" "Something wrong?" "No, nothing." "Actually, Joo PD..." "Spill it, Goo Hee Jae." "What is it?" "PD Joo fell in love." "What?" "Love?" "Yes." "The moment he saw the youngest FD of the directing team, he fell for her." "Joo PD." "Yes." "Are you in your right mind?" "Eh?" "Do you think I pay you just so you could chase chicks at the filming site?" "What kind of a production PD doesn't separate his private life from his work?" "Tell me." "Are you really dating Kang Hyun Min?" "I don't know about it." "If you really want to know, you could go ask that moron yourself." "I need to go for more shooting." "Min Ah, either Anthony or Kang Hyun Min, the way I see it, your taste in men is really low." "What?" "You know it." "Our Hyun Min is so gentle and considerate, which could cause such rumors with Miss Sung Min Ah, but..." "Hyung, what are you doing?" "What are you doing?" "Representative Choi!" "Red long johns, red pants!" "What'cha doin'?" " Just shut up already!" "Ah, at any rate, they're not in a relationship at all." "Yes, then, I'm hanging up." "I was just explaining to the reporter about your rumor!" "Ah, you were being interviewed?" "Yes." "You should have said so then." "Hyung!" "How can you hang up so rudely when it was such an important call?" "They're only going to get more suspicious!" "What exactly do you do for me as my representative?" "Do you even know that my Korean beef endorsement contract is about to expire?" "Don't worry, they're coming this afternoon." "Really?" "I'm warning you." "Stop staring at me." "I'm out of your league, so give up and just concentrate on your drama." "Ah well, with your unrequited love and endorsements..." "you're busider than a bee, no wonder you'd forget about the drama." "What?" "Unrequited love?" "Busier than a bee?" "Hyung!" "Is there a bee farm around here?" "Why did it fail?" "Hey!" "Isn't "Morning in Kyeongseong" a total hit?" "I know!" "Hyun Min Oppa is so amazing in that one!" "But, I'm not sure about the recent episodes." "Why?" "Think about it." "Jin Hye Rin told Kim Woo Jin that she loves him and whatever." "They even kissed!" "And now she's going to betray him?" "What's up with that?" "That's true." "That doesn't make sense." "Roasted sweet potatoes, chips, ramyun..." "Such a childish appetite you have." "Don't you care about staying in shape?" "Are you listening to me?" "Yes." "Your mother is at your studio, so get going." "Mom?" "It's delicious." "Aigoo, it already started!" "You're watching it again?" "Of course!" "I'm watching all the reruns, too." "Is it that fun?" "Of course." "Whose daughter wrote it, after all?" "Gosh, why is he like that again?" "Go Eun..." "That Jin Hye Rin, is she betraying Kim Woo Jin after all?" "No." "Actually, this will be revealed much later, but she's not really betraying him." "She's pretending to betray him because there's no other way, but she's really helping Kim Woo Jin." "Oh, it was like that?" "Had I known that, I wouldn't have been cursing her." "My daughter is amazing!" "You are a genius, genius!" "It's starting." "Now, let's hear from Mr. Kang Hyun Min's management staff." "As you know, our Hyun Min is so gentle and considerate, that it causes such misunderstandings... but at any rate, they're not in a relationship at all." "Why, what are you doing?" "Representative Choi!" " Just shut up already!" "Your voice came out also." "Arrrgh" "How embarrassing..." "Like this, the management is denying the rumor, but reports of witnesses who saw the two actors dating at a cafe or at the filming studio keep surfacing, prompting the possibility of another celebrity couple being in the making," "which is a hot potato in the world of entertainment gossip currently." "Ah, seriously!" "Celebrity couple in the making?" "I told them no!" "Why don't they believe me?" "!" "That's why you should have been more firm!" "My CF, my money is here!" "I've been really enjoying "Morning in Kyeongseong" lately." "Ah, speaking of which," "How about doing it with Miss Sung Min Ah this time as a couple?" "Judging from the drama, the two of you really look great and work well together." "I've been doing this by myself for 3 years, why would I do it with Sung Min Ah now?" "Well, it is the wish of the sponsor." "Send the sponsor my message clearly:" "Either I, Kang Hyun Min, do it by myself," "He will never be able to do it with someone else." "I won't do it!" "Oh, you know, right?" "That scandal... is total nonsense." "Of course, I know it better than anybody." "Did you want to see me to talk about that?" "No." "There is someone I'd like you to meet." "Ah, there he comes." "Say hello to the Chief Director of Taesan Group, Kim Sang Jik." "I'm Anthony Kim." "Nice to meet you." "A production company?" "Yes." "Our company is going to create the largest production company in Asia." "We would like you to be the CEO of that company." "We'll offer you the highest salary in the industry as well as 10% of the shares." "What do you think?" "Although, right now, you are the Representative of a small production company, for someone who had once created the legend of Empire, this is a matching offer, I think." "I'm sorry, but I will decline." "Why?" "Are you passing up this exceptional offer?" "Of course, it is an attractive offer, but" "However, I don't want to work under other people any more." "With my own hands, making World Production the best in Asia, no, in the whole world," "With my own hands, making World Production the best in Asia, no, in the whole world, is my personal goal." "Then, before you make your final decision, take a look at something first." "In thinking about our entertainment group, it's not only into drama but includes management." "This first management contract will be with Sung Min Ah." "If you confirm, then we will move immediately." "It's here." "You said that you wanted to make the world's best production, right?" "Why don't you make it, starting from here?" "Every year, I will invest $40 million into World Production." "Of course, the owner will be Anthony Kim." "As long as we get 49% of the shares." "What do you think?" "This offer?" "Exactly what is the reason you are offering me this deal?" "It's because creating a company which exceeds Empire is our goal." "Also, the person who created the Empire's myth is you, Anthony, is it not?" "If that's the reason," "I will accept." "You have made the right decision!" "We will complete the operating details and" "I will take it as a confirmed contract." "Then..." "You are finally able to achieve your dream." "Watching you succeed, while watching you, is also the dream that I hoped for." "♫ Because your two eyes are far away, I only see you." "♫ Because my heart is frozen, I'm hugging you." "♫ When your trembling lips touch my ears," "♫ While I dreamed only of you to say the words I love you." "The person who created Empire's myth is exactly you, Anthony, is it not?" "You said that you wanted to make Asia's best production did you not?" "Why don't you go ahead and try making it?" "Of course, the owner is you, Anthony Kim." "That's right." "The time has come." "Bong Dal" "Representative, it's me." "I'm in the middle of a meeting." "I'm busy, so hang up." "From this moment on, I will start my own drama again." "I think I said that I was in the middle of a meeting." "I'm busy, so hang up." "If you hang up this time, I'm not going to leave you be." "What are taking my word for?" "I'm busy right now but because of you...." "You said you were a busy person." "You said you were in the middle of a meeting." "Exactly what kind of person has a meeting by himself on his deck?" "Until a few moments ago, I was busy with the meeting." "Everyone just left." "But what are you trying to say?" "By tomorrow morning, please gather the "Morning in Kyeongseong's" crew." "Gather?" "It's something more important than anything." "Understand?" "So, you're going to fix the uploaded episodes 11 and 12?" "Yes, I wanted to show more of the love between the two characters." "Up to now, only in Episode 13, it is realized that Hye Rin came to help Woo Jin." "And then, it was my idea that Hye Rin's character would be seen as nearly sinister." "Because trying to make it too much a film noir was the wrong choice." "So you will modify episode 11 by accelerating the content of episode 13?" "Yes." "With that change, I think it will be possible to see the audience rooting for the two characters." "But, can you amend the screenplay in less than four days?" "I can do it." "It's not something to be dealt with by talking." "Yes." "You have a point there to put the story together, but it's a big risk." "If that is to happen, we will have to be shooting live straight through the week before." "Hyun Min, what do you think?" "Huh?" "Do it like that." "She says she can do it, so why don't we try believing Writer Lee?" "Is it not unimagineable, too difficult and are there problems every day?" "Can you really do the script in four days?" "Yes." "I can do it." "Fine." "If Writer Lee says she can do it, then I will wait." "Then, take care of yourself." "Let's see how well you can do." "Bye." "The writer says she can do it, so why don't we trust her once?" "I mean, that's living." "That fox!" "We're in a state of emergency now." "I know." "Even if you manage to rewrite the script for 2 episodes, what comes after that is the problem." "For the following episodes, even if there is a problem in the script, we still have to shoot it without changing a thing." "I'm fully aware of it." "You have to keep this in mind, that the decision you just made, put "Morning in Kyeongseong" on a path of no return." "Like Julius Caesar who marched toward Rome in B.C. 49, we have crossed the Rubicon River." "Let them find out at this point... and make a powerful ending..." "It's unlocked." "Since we're in a state of emergency, we have to save the time for sleep as well as food." "Naturally, until you're done with the revision, you can't leave the studio." "So, what are all these?" "Multivitamins, Red Ginseng extract," "Omega-3 for improving circulation, and this is yogurt, good for constipation." "If you're sitting in one place too long, you get constipated." "Since your physical health is top priority, make sure to take them." "And what is that?" "Toothpaste, shampoo, and lotion." "Also, since I don't know what you use, I just bought one of each kind." "Why, you don't use the ones with wings?" "I bought them because they cost 1500 won more." "You're a man, Representative." "Isn't it weird for a man to buy these for a woman?" "I'm not a man, but a producer." "You're not a woman, but a writer." "I'll put these away and sit here, so call me if you need anything." "What?" "You're not leaving?" "Why would I leave?" "You're not Writer Kim Soo Hyun." "Can you just keep writing without any discussions?" "Besides, since you like to sleep so much, you might go into hibernation like a blackbear," "I'll have to watch you." "What, are you sleepy already?" "No, nothing." "Yes, I understand." "Then, we will meet next week and discuss." "Make an appointment with the production company, please." "Yes, yes, good work." "By the way, Director..." " Yes" "There's barely enough time for shooting, how can they revise the script now?" "How about this, hiring a more experienced writer to help Writer Lee Go Eun..." "Why don't we trust Writer Lee Go Eun and wait?" "Seriously, Director, she's a rookie, how can we just trust and wait?" "Why, didn't you call her another Writer Kim Soo Hyun?" "Well, that.." "after continuing 10 more years.." "Listen, Director Lee..." "Eh?" "Just..." "Just, just..." "Uh, Director." "Director..." "Hey." "What do we do Hyun Min?" "Why?" "What's the problem?" "I just heard from the Korean beef commercial." "Tthe sponsor says, if you don't do it with Sung Min Ah, he'd choose another couple." "What?" "!" "Like who?" "I guess they're trying to contact Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young." "Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young?" "(A married couple of superstars)" "Miss Sung Min Ah..." "I think I warned you, not to stare at me." "Let's talk for a moment." "I don't have anything to talk about with you." "It's only for a moment." "It's a very important thing." "So, let me get this straight." "you want us to be in a Korean beef commercial as a couple?" "I can understand that you're desperately looking for ways to be with me, but what to do?" "I'm not interested." "Look for someone else." "Don't take this wrong." "I don't want to be in a commercial with you, Miss Sung Min Ah." "Then why are you asking to do it together?" "Well, you could call it the responsibility of the leading actor..." "Besides, why are you so selfish, Miss Sung Min Ah?" "What?" "When Writer Lee is working so hard, are you just going to sit there and do nothing?" "When we do a commercial as a couple, it will also promote more awareness of our drama..." "Stop that nonsense, and tell me the real reason." "Ah man, really..." "Money." "Can't you just do it this once?" "I'll do anything you ask." "Fine, but I have one condition." "Do a TV interview in person, Mr. Kang Hyun Min, that we're not in a relationship." "Also, release news reports to clarify the rumors." "Just make sure to clean up this whole mess about us." "Can you promise to do that?" "Deal." "Then, me too." "Deal!" "Do you think this makes sense?" "Why doesn't it?" "Kim Woo Jin gives up his lifelong dream and goes to rescue Jin Hye Rin?" "What a nonsense!" "He loves her that much!" "Of course he'd rush to save Jin Hye Rin, leaving everything behind." "What idiot gives up his dream for love?" "How can you make Kim Woo Jin into a fool just to save the character of Jin Hye Rin?" "How can you make Kim Woo Jin into a fool just to save the character of Jin Hye Rin?" "How can you make Kim Woo Jin into a fool just to save the character of Jin Hye Rin?" "If he loves her to death, why wouldn't he?" "In case you haven't noticed, humans are innately selfish." "In case you haven't noticed, humans are innately selfish." "They cry when they're hungry, and they smile when they're full." "Have you ever been in love at all?" "Have you ever been in love at all?" "Have you ever been in love at all?" "How can you not understand this?" "Unlike your elementary unrequited crushes, I have had lots of experience." "How many?" "Like what?" "Kissing and sleeping together." "You mean, doing those is love?" "What else is there to it?" "Uh, so low!" "Yes, I'm a third-rate lowlife." "But you don't even have that experience." "Ah, whatever." "I got it." "Let's stop this conversation now." "I'll just write the script." "I'll just write the script." "Sure, you write the script." "I'll make a trip to the office." "You still seem to think that you're right." "But admit it, you're wrong." "Just go already!" "Your son looks really amazing." "Producing a great drama like that." "You must be really proud of him." "He should find a good woman before I pass on." "He's not married yet?" "I even wonder if he ever liked someone?" "Because of the hardships he had to endure, he only knows to pretend to be strong." "He doesn't know how to open up his heart to someone." "I see." "If he had been born to good parents, he could have had a happy life... What are you doing, not writing the script?" "It's a movie I must watch for the script." "Love Letter?" "Yes, I've watched it about 100 times now." "Why would you watch it again then?" "Well, to get into the emotional mood, I have to watch it even for 101st time!" "It's all because you've never been in love that you're watching something like this." "Stop nagging like that." "I'm going to watch it anyway." "Are you doing well?" "I'm doing fine!" "You're supposed to make others cry, not cry yourself." "Are you doing well?" "(In Japanese) Are you doing well?" "Is that sad?" "Please stop crying so ugly." "You're disturbing the person next to you." "It's sad but really beautiful, right?" "No?" "Eh?" "About what?" "After a long time has passed, she finally sees the letter the man had left in the book." "Even the title of the book is "In search of lost time."" "I read that book so many times even..." "I mean it." "You were never in true love, Representative." "Have you ever even shed tears for love?" "Because my eyes are blinded, all I can see is you Because my heart is frozen," "I wrap my arms around you When your trembling lips get closer to my ears, my heart, that had been dreaming of only you..." "Because my eyes are blinded, all I see is you, because my heart is frozen," "I wrap my arms around you." "When your trembling lips get closer to my ears," "Anthony, are you crazy?" "This is nonsense." "How can that tomboy look so pretty in my eyes?" "Are the terms of the contract ok?" " Both Kang Hyun Min and Sung Min Ah agree... so I don't think it'll be a problem." "Don't we need to hear what Writer Lee Go Eun thinks?" "Shall we call her?" "Well then, Representative..." "Um," "Representative?" "Huh?" "Oh, what did you say?" "Ah, so cold." "It's too cold!" "It wakes me right up!" "Seriously." "It's cold!" "Yes, Chief Director." "I'm calling because the chairman would like to meet you in person and discuss the contract." "How about Friday evening?" "That's fine." "I'll see you then." "Alright, we'll decide on the time and place and contact you again." "Yes, good bye." "The door is open, what are..." "Wait, why am I doing this?" "Stop this, Anthony." "I'm a producer, and she's a writer." "I guess the others haven't come in yet?" "Why?" "Here's the revised draft of the script." "What do you think?" "It's good." "Well done." "Cut!" "Ok!" "The revised draft makes it so much easier to empathize!" "The starting point isn't too bad." "PD Joo, what are you doing?" "!" "What is the viewership rating for today?" "19.8%." "It went up 2.1% from the day before!" "Yeah!" "Ah, good job everyone." ""Morning in Kyeongseong" soars even higher as the truth behind Jin Hye Rin's betrayal is revealed" ""Morning in Kyeongseong" leads the viewership rating for 6 weeks in a row, going over 20%" "As the romance of Kang Hyun Min and Sung Min Ah develop, "Morning in Kyeongseong" keeps its lead." "Lately, the viewership rating has been soaring up impressively." "Well, I don't concern myself too much over the viewership ratings." "The only thing that I'm interested in is the love from you." "Actually, there is a rumor that all your attention is focused on a specific person, causing the numerous fans of Mr. Kang Hyun Min to watch "Morning in Kyeongseong" in jealousy." "Today, we'd like to hear the truth." "The rumor with Miss Sung Min Ah, is it really just a rumor?" "Today, until you give us an answer about the rumor," "I won't let you go." "Ah, just answer him, you moron!" "Miss Sung Min Ah, right." "She's a great actress." "She's a good actor and a good person." "I can swear over my family, sadly, it is only a rumor." "We're not dating." "You're not dating." "However, you may count on the Kim Woo Jin that is acting with Miss Sung Min Ah." "The promise made with my pride as an actor at stake," "I must keep for sure." "Ensure the health of the hubby with Korean beef?" "Newlywed couple style?" "More like an arranged marriage." "Are you kidding me?" "Hello." "Today's shooting is about a newlywed couple." "Ah, I see." "Did you get a botox shot?" "What?" "Well, you look somewhat different." "Chu~?" "It's delicious." "Take care of your husband's physical health with Korean beef." "Korean beef!" "I just visited Hoengseong recently." "[Hoengseong: famous town for Korean beef]" "I count on you to promote more awareness about Korean beef." "What's with that face?" "You got money and Korean beef!" "Isn't this awesome?" "Ah, what a pathetic bum." "Pathetic bum?" "Do you think I'm just doing this for the money?" "Even Anthony and Writer Lee, for the drama, are working on the script together." "Then we, also for the drama, could shoot commercials and promote our drama!" "They're working on the script together?" "Didn't you know?" "All day long, they're stuck together like this, working on the script, I think." "I told you not to skip the supplements." "You caught a cold because you're not physically fit." "Thirty minutes after a meal." "I'll make sure to take them this time." "Don't smile." "You grow on me." "My studio isn't that far." "I can just walk..." "It's because I'm cold." "Hello?" "It's me, Min Ah." "(Wait over there for a moment)" "Yes." "Are you busy?" "Well, busy as usual." "Then, can you get out for a moment?" "I have something to tell you, and I'm free this evening." "Alright." "Alright." "I'll see you then." "We're going to relocate our office." "The office?" "Yes, to a much bigger place." "Is it something Miss Sung Min Ah helped you with?" "She introduced me to a company that wants to invest in our shares." "Yes." "Once the contract goes smoothly tomorrow, I'll get you a new studio with a better view, so you can prepare for the next project." "With Sung Min Ah as the lead." "With Miss Sung Min Ah as the lead actress?" "That was their condition." "So stop beating around the bush and putting off your contract renewal, and let's renew your contract." "Yes." "It couldn't have been easy for a rookie writer to change the course of the storyline in the middle." "You must have really helped her a lot, Representative." "Of course." "She couldn't have come this far without my help." "Speaking of which, I'd like to let Lee Go Eun write our next project, too." "What do you think?" "Well, if the script is good, I have nothing against it." "Sure." "Ah, you know what's tomorrow, right?" "The contract with the chairman of Taesan Group." "Yes, at 6pm in Cheongdamdong, I heard." "Since you'll meet him for the first time, it would be good to talk over dinner." "So I asked them to meet there." "You used to like the restaurants there." "Also, tomorrow," "I'll also expect to hear your answer to my question." "Don't tell me you forgot?" "Can you tell me that you don't have any feelings for me?" "Then, stop telling me to forget." "Once we start again, there won't be any reason for us to break up ever again." "Min Ah," "I'll wait." "Also, tomorrow," "I'll expect to hear your answer to my question." "Don't tell me, you forgot." "Your vision got blurry all of a sudden, and you felt dizzy?" "Yes." "Did you have a lot of stress lately, or did you overwork yourself?" "What man in Korea doesn't live like that?" "Then, are you taking any drugs for long term?" "I've been taking an antidepressant for about 3 years now." "Three years..." "Then, have you had these symptoms before that?" "No, it never happened before, only recently, about twice." "We'll know more after you get a thorough physical exam and get the results back." "At this point, it seems like a side effect of the antidepressant." "Cut!" "Okay!" "We'll shoot the next scene after 10 minutes!" "Gwang Soo, phone." "Gwang Soo?" "So, over that pretty faced FD chick, the two of you are having a mental race?" "Yes." "Gwang Soo, in order to capture the heart of a lady;" "first, you have to show her your own sexy smile often." "There, she's looking." "Smile." "There, she's looking." "Smile." "Director?" "Look at Sung Min Ah, she's so stunned." "But if I keep sending her the same smile over and over, someday she'll ask." "Ask what?" "Why do you smile like that whenever you see me?" "And then?" "Then, you need to say an impactful, short, and concise phrase that will seduce her." "Your eyes make me smile." "Eww, it's so cheesy!" "I feel nauseous." "Did you take your pills?" "You're here?" "I said did you take your medicine?" "Yes." "How's your fever?" "I think it went down." "Stop writing the script for today and rest." "No I'm fine." "I have to hurry and write and turn in the script for episode 13, so I can't rest." "Don't argue and just go to the hospital." "Go and get another shot." "Yeah." "It's me, Min Ah." "Did you leave yet?" "Soon." "I'm also leaving in a few, so don't be late." "The CEO is sensitive to timeliness." "Don't worry." "Or, shall we meet up and go together?" "Lee Go Eun." "Lee Go Eun!" "Lee Go Eun!" "Stay conscious!" "Hello?" "Representative!" "Lee Go Eun!" "Get up." "What?" "What's is it?" "No, it's nothing..." "I think we have to leave now." "Oh...ok..." "I got it..." "Lee Go Eun, stay focused." "You're here, President?" "Oh, it's been a long time." "There must be a lot of traffic." "Yes." "A little." "Why don't we order first, President?" "Yes, let's do so." "Hold on, Lee Go Eun." "We're almost at the hospital, so hang in there!" "Where is she hurting?" "She had an oncoming cold this afternoon, and right now she has a really bad fever." "She overworked for a few days..." "How is it?" "Her temperature is 40.8." "She must've been in a lot of pain..." "Prepare her some fever reducer." "Yes." "I think we need to wait until her fever cools down." "Are you conscious now?" "What happened?" "What do you mean what happened?" "Your fever went over 40 and you fainted." "If it hurts you should've said so." "What are you doing here?" "What about the contract?" "Hurry up and go." "Did you forget who was here today?" "How could you throw away such an important contract?" "I'm sorry" "There was a situation." "What situation?" "What problem is greater than your dream, your future?" "Was Writer Lee Go Eun such an important person to you?" "Why can't you answer?" "Is Writer Lee Go Eun so important to you?" "That's right." "Lee Go Eun is an important person to me." "I finally realized it." "That Lee Go Eun... is such an important person to me." "[Preview]" "About when Kim Woo Jin goes to save Jin Hye Rin..." "I think you're right." "You have a guy, don't you?" "Is it Kim Bong Dal?" "If you bother Writer Lee one more time, I swear to God." "Kang Hyun Min is all over the place." "I only saw his foot acting." "Am I that bad at acting?" "Do you honestly think my acting is that bad?" "Have you ever put effort into acting?" "What are you doing tonight?" "We have to sign a contract." "Why are we writing a contract on Christmas Eve?" "...but why does my vision get cloudy at times?" "How would getting a check up at the eye hospital sound?"
