[Episode 5]
[The Counterattack of the Loser]
I put everything I have
left into this drama.
I beg you. Please give me
that slot on the schedule.
You are such a low human being.
You used to act like money
could solve everything.
Now you're shamelessly begging me.
It doesn't matter what you think.
But at this moment...
what I want more than anything is
to have my drama on the schedule.
At this moment, what I want
more than anything is...
to have scum like you disappear
from drama production forever.
Do you understand?
Director.
Is it really not possible?
As long as I am the director,
I'm not going to change my mind.
Writer Jung Hong Joo is here.
Welcome, Writer Jung.
I heard the scoop.
The scheduling is very dramatic this time.
What did I tell you? As long as I'm here
Anthony will never be able to make a comeback.
Please be prompt with the script.
We are going to be on
the S Broadcasting
November schedule with
Elegant Revenge Part Two.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to be the finalist for contest
and will have my name on the screenplay.
- Writer Lee.
- PD Joo.
What are you doing here?
I'm thinking about entering
the screenplay contest.
One of the reasons why I was let go
was because I've never won a contest.
Ah, yes... I think I'm also
going to be jobless soon.
How come?
"Gyeongseong's Morning" was taken off
from the schedule after all.
What do you mean 'taken off'?
CP Nam Woon Young became the new director.
- He did?
-Yes.
It's shocking, isn't it?
But...
He really dislikes our President
so as soon as he became the director...
he announced that our drama
shouldn't be on the schedule.
The President is coming.
I'm going to get going now.
Sir.
[Empire's President Oh: Bad Dude]
Look who's calling.
Hyun Min. Are you doing well?
Of course, I'm doing well.
I can't even write my own
name in Chinese characters.
And I'm a money crazy bastard.
But I'm doing super well.
- Hyun Min.
- That's fine.
Anyway, why did you call?
There is something you don't know
so I wanted to tell you about it.
What don't I know?
The fact that about four hours ago...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' has been
taken off the drama schedule.
So you didn't know.
Do you think I'd be tricked by such a ridiculous lie?
Whether you believe it or not,
that's up to you.
Then, take care.
What's the matter?
Kwang Soo...
Call S Broadcasting now.
Find out what happened
to the drama scheduling.
- What?
- Hurry up!
How is your analysis of the script going?
Analysis of the script my ass.
What the hell is going on?
I heard "Gyeongseong's Morning
has been kicked off the schedule.
- It's true.
- What?
But exactly 48 hours later, our drama
will be back on the November schedule.
How?
With my own ways that no one can copy...
So I'm asking you how you are
going to get back on the schedule?
Hyun Min. This is Anthony.
I survived this bloody battle field of drama
making by eliminating so many foes.
I told you. It'll be 48 hours.
After 48 hours, the only survivors will be
you, me and 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
What is he saying?
He asked me to wait two days.
He said he'll get back on the schedule.
Do you think it'll go well?
How...
would I know that!
I'm sorry. But he's
asking you to go back.
Tell him that I'll wait out
here until he sees me.
I'm sorry to have come by at such
a late hour, Deputy Director Kim.
If you are sorry then go back.
I have nothing to say to you.
I'm on your side.
Just give me little
time to talk to you.
- If I may say directly, I'm not on your side.
- I know.
- You know.
- Yes.
I also know that you'll be
on my side starting today.
Anthony...
I don't know what makes
you so confident but...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' has been
eliminated from the schedule.
I want you to advocate for
'Gyeongseong's Morning' now.
What?
I know very well you've been
pushing for Elegant Revenge Part Two.
But that'll only further secure
the position of the new director.
If you want to bring down the Director Nam...
you shouldn't push for Elegant Revenge Two,
for which is what Director Nam is advocating.
But you should push for 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
which is opposed by Director Nam.
Bring down Director Nam?
What are you talking about?
Actually, the director position
should have been yours.
You...
Aren't you bitter that you lost the
director's position to someone so junior?
Please show them who's in charge
in the drama department.
Then that powerless puppet director will be gone
and the real director will finally be in his position.
Director...
Sir, what are you
planning on doing?
Once you awaken the desire deep within,
there will be an enemy you'll need to defeat.
Attack your enemy with another enemy.
Attack your enemy with another enemy?
And...
when the enemy becomes exhausted,
then you end its life.
The Director is here.
Hello.
Why don't we get started?
After examining all the prospective
dramas for the November time slot...
For the Monday and Tuesday time slot,
we have decided that...
Empire Production's Elegant Revenge
Part Two will be the final choice.
Director Nam.
Even though it's writer Jung Hong Joo,
giving them the time slot
based on a synopsis alone
doesn't seem that prudent.
I agree with Deputy Director Park.
On top of that, they still haven't done
the casting for the main lead yet.
Yes, that's right.
But I've already looked over a
part of the script this morning.
Also I got a commitment from the production
company that they'll finalize the casting this week.
Is that good?
However with the top star casting
with four scripts out already...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' will be
more of a secure choice.
Deputy Director, let's not discuss a drama
that's been eliminated already.
I'm telling you this because there
is no reason for it to be eliminated.
This decision was made after
a careful consideration. Okay?
Then I want you to reconsider.
Excuse me?
If you make such a high-handed, unilateral
decision like this, there could be a problem.
I don't know what kind of
problem you are talking about.
But should there be any problem,
I'll be the one who will be responsible.
Is that okay?
Next.
I can't follow such a high-handed
unilateral decision.
Let's go.
The meeting is not over yet.
Please sit down.
You've been pushing for Elegant Revenge all along.
What made you change your mind?
Then why do you want to give
the November slot to Empire Production?
Deputy Director.
I made this decision not as
your junior, Nam Woon Young...
but as the director of
the drama department.
I am also communicating to you about
the opinion of people in the department.
Deputy Director.
By any chance... if you'd struck a
deal with someone behind my back...
I will never condone it.
Do you understand?
Nam Woon Young.
No matter how much you bark and
scurry about, you are still below me.
Yes, you are right.
However the schedule will go out under
the name of the director, Nam Woon Young.
Do you understand?
Did you ask for me?
You should proceed with Elegant
Revenge Part Two on the schedule.
- Director Nam
- Didn't you hear what I said?
Ah, yes. I understand, Director.
Why don't you go?
There should be a reservation
under the name Jung Jae Hoon.
Please come this way.
Oh, come on in.
This is my friend I was telling you about.
We studied together in the States.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Anthony Kim.
Oh, nice to meet you.
Have a seat.
This way.
What do you do for a living?
He's involved in drama production.
Drama?
Wow... such difficult work.
So how is it going?
I'm currently working on a drama that has a
Japanese investment of 10 billion won ($10 million).
But it's not going as smoothly as I would like it to.
Wow... if it's 10 billion won...
This fellow sure has his ways, huh?
You flatter me.
What is it called?
Yes, it's called 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
When it goes on air,
I hope you will watch it.
Okay.
Everyone go ahead.
4 pm.
- Ugh.
- Why? He's not answering?
He didn't even turn it on.
Anthony, that bastard.
Hyun Min. Let's just call President Oh now...
and tell him you'll do
Elegant Revenge Part Two.
What?
Are you telling me that I should be on my
hand and knees begging him or something?
If you don't, are you just going
to trust what Anthony said...
and suck your thumb after losing everything?
Before it's too late, let's go
with Empire Production.
You've signed the contract but haven't
received any money from Anthony yet.
- Okay?
- How many hours?
Two hours left.
Then, I'll just wait for two hours.
If I still haven't heard from him by then, I'll go.
But, you have to do the begging.
Okay.
This is the drafted proof of scheduling
for Elegant Revenge Part Two.
Once you sign it off, I'll proceed immediately.
Yes, thank you.
- Yes.
- The President would like to see you.
- The President would?
- Yes.
Okay.
Did you want to see me?
Come on in Director Nam.
You know him already.
From World Production...
I'm Anthony Kim.
I heard you like the drama
Anthony's producing.
I hope you'd consider positively
about World Production's...
'Gyeongseong's Morning'
for the November schedule.
Unfortunately, we've decided on a
different drama for the November slot.
Is that the opinion of the
entire drama department?
Excuse me?
From what I know, others in the department
are thinking differently about this.
President. It's been decided already.
Director Nam. Are you not
understanding what I am saying?
How long do you think you'll last
resorting to these types of tricks?
This drama needs to be successful
in order for you to last long as well.
Anyway, you are amazing.
Not too long ago, you were on your
hands and knees begging.
Now you're using power
to get what you want?
You're truly amazing.
Have you forgotten...
that I'm the type of person who would
do anything to get what I want?
This is my last advice to you.
You've done enough so
you should back off now.
I'll give you advice as well.
You should admit that you've lost
now and accept the result.
You'll feel less shameful that way.
With that, I'll consider you've given me
the November slot on the schedule.
Let's make this clear now.
I'm giving in this time only because I don't want
to waste 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
Don't forget.
Don't forget this either.
No matter what, now we are
on board the same ship.
The same ship? Don't delude yourself.
That's not your ship.
That depends on one's perspective.
Then...
That's right.
I'm going to bring Writer Lee back on board.
What?
You didn't lift a finger when
she got booted, so why now?
Because she is the one who will write
'Gyeongseong's Morning' better than anyone.
The Monday and Tuesday drama
of November, 2012 has been...
decided for 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
from World Production.
The Coordinating Producer
should get the scripts in now.
Send the proof of scheduling
to the production company.
Yes, I got it.
That'll be all.
Yes, Chairman. This is Anthony Kim.
(Japanese)
I received the proof of scheduling you sent.
As promised, I'll send you the
money for the drama right away.
I assure you that it'll be the
best drama of the year.
Everyone. The first round of
funding in the amount of
3.3 billion won ($3.3 million)
has been deposited.
Wow, are we really going
to get going now?
Of course we are.
Chief Park. Please hurry up and
wire the money to Kang Hyun Min.
Okay.
What do you think about this?
This is absolutely awesome.
It feels good.
This is okay, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah. It feels good.
Very good. Very nice.
This car...
How much is this car?
It's 62.3 million won ($623,000).
- And if you want the full option...
- Stop. Stop. Stop.
It's too cheap.
Bit Na. I'm giving you this as a gift,
and this price make me feel cheap.
Let's try a different car.
It can't be a cheap car.
Then should we?
Jesus.
Phone message. Text. Anything yet?
No, nothing yet.
Anthony, that bastard.
I'm about to get embarrassed
using multiple cards.
Shouldn't you create an obstacle
so she doesn't get a car?
Hyun Min... Hyun Min. Hyun Min.
Okay, I'm coming.
Bit Na.
['Gyeongseong's Morning':
SBC November Scheduling Confirmed]
I'll schedule Elegant Revenge
Part Two for next year.
It's not over yet.
- Excuse me?
- I said it's not over yet.
But the scheduling has been
already confirmed for Anthony.
The winner doesn't smile last.
The one who smiles last is the winner.
The game is...
not over yet.
As you instructed, we wired the
money to Kang Hyun Min...
and also let the press know
about the scheduling.
And this...
I got your car that
was held as a collateral.
Good job.
But what are you going to do about
the writer for 'Gyeongseong's Morning'?
Do we know any other writer?
We are closed.
How have you been?
It's been a long time.
But what brought you here?
Ah, I'm here because of writer Lee Go Eun.
Go Eun?
Didn't she go down to the
countryside to write her scripts?
She just called not too long ago...
and was happy that the
company got her a nice room.
So everyone didn't
go down together?
Ah, yes. We all went down together
and we were just on our way back.
Ah. Ah... So how come you are...
Writer Lee was worried about
you so I came by to check on you.
Ah... Yes.
Oh my. I left the soup on the stove.
Just a minute please.
Once you become my age...
What? He left without
even saying good bye?
I thought he had changed little.
He's that same jerk he used to be.
This is a bed and breakfast.
I plan on staying there tomorrow.
What's your address?
Oh my. Are you up already?
Good morning.
Unlike young girls nowadays,
you are an early bird, aren't you?
You were doing something
all night last night too.
Ah, I'm preparing for the
TV drama screenplay contest.
Drama? Are you a drama writer?
No, not yet.
But I'm going to become one.
The air here is different than in Seoul.
What's this?
How did you know about this place?
So why did you turn off your phone
and make it hard to find you?
Don't come near me.
I know. I'm sure you've
been resentful of me.
Whenever I need you, I find you
and then throw you away. But...
I told you not to come near me.
I don't want to deal with
someone like you anymore.
'Gyeongseong's Morning' TV
scheduling has been confirmed.
So I came here to make you come back.
Hurry up and let's go back up.
November 5th is...
I told you not to come near me.
What kind of stupid tricks...
Ugh! Dummy.
If you can't swim, why did you jump in, huh?
He's really driving me crazy.
What kind of stupid tricks...
Oh, you are awake now.
Where is the woman who
fell in the water with me?
Huh? Ah, you mean the one who called 911?
She returned home first.
I guess you are feeling better now.
Go then.
Lee Go Eun. What I told you
earlier is all true.
The writer of 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
should be you.
So you need to come back.
Why?
Why is it me? You had no
qualms about firing me before.
So why are you asking
me to come back now?
The new Director wants you to return.
But you are not the type to readily
agree to do something like that.
Tell me. What's the real reason?
There is no one cheaper than you.
I need you, and you can
fashionably debut as a screenwriter.
If you need time, I'll give you
one day to think about things.
But don't let your pride get in your way...
and end up throwing away what
may be the last chance in your life.
So...
When did you say the drama
was supposed to air?
What's this? Did you get a new car?
This is my real car.
But if you don't know how to swim,
why did you jump in the water?
It couldn't have been because
you were worried about me.
I slipped.
We've arrived. You can get off.
Oh, are we here already?
You didn't doze off while driving, did you?
I didn't get a chance to get sleepy.
Because someone was snoring
and grinding her teeth.
But that's good that you
didn't doze off while driving.
Go home and sleep some more.
And come around the office around 2pm.
We have a lot to do.
Gosh. He talks so 'nicely.'
Nicely...
Ah, mom!
Were you looking for me?
Writer Lee has returned.
We need to start moving now.
Start moving?
It's going to start now.
If you say it's starting...
Soon, the crack will begin to show.
I know Anthony's ways real well.
What? Writer Lee Go Eun
will be returning?
Yeah, that's what Anthony said.
You stupid fools!
Is she crazy or something?
- What are you doing not getting her out?
- You stupid fools!
- She is totally wasted.
- That's mine!
- Hyun Min
- Huh?
What's the matter?
What do you think the matter is?
They say that Writer Lee is returning.
When I asked you to kick her out,
you totally dragged her out the door.
That Lee Go Eun is going to return.
Aren't you even worried?
What? That happened?
She might get back at me through her script.
Writer Lee doesn't seem like
the type who would do that.
It's because you don't know. She is a total...
Gangster. A gangster.
What should I do now?
Writer Lee. Congratulations on your return.
You have no idea how happy I was
when I heard that you'll be returning.
Writer Lee Go Eun. Fighting!
Look at this. Look at this.
She hasn't written me a reply yet.
She's going to get back at me for sure.
It hasn't even been a minute
since you texted her.
Kwang Soo. She's got the biggest
grudge she could hold against me.
Thank you. The bouquet
you sent is really pretty.
We met under strange circumstances.
But I'm going to try my best.
What did I tell you. She's not
as petty as you think she is.
You are not going to do this right?
Excuse me?
In the budget items, the total for the
filming equipment is not correct.
That can't be. I checked three
times with a calculator.
Have I ever been wrong?
No, you've always been right
in terms of calculations.
It's after 2pm. Where is Writer Lee?
She's still not in?
I'll find out.
Yes, I'm almost there.
Tell him I'll be there shortly.
- Okay.
- Writer Lee Go Eun.
Hi, how are you?
What are you doing here?
My company is nearby.
Ah, that's right.
World Production office is near here.
Then what brought you out here?
Ah, yes. I had a meeting in this
neighborhood. I'm on my way back.
- Oh, so that's why.
- Yes.
Anyway, congratulations on getting
on the drama schedule.
Sure.
I'm sincere so please
don't misunderstand.
It's just that I personally detest Anthony.
But I have nothing against you or your work.
It is regrettable that Empire Production
is not going to produce
such a new and original work
such as 'Gyeongseong's Morning.'
After this, you need to give us
a chance to work with you.
Yes, I'll do that.
Then.
Congratulations on your return.
As soon as you walked in, you
brightened this gloomy office.
Thank you. How have you been?
Until we got on the schedule,
it was sheer hell.
Welcome back.
That's enough of congratulatory greeting.
We'll start the script meeting right away.
Yes.
Since we have the drama TV air date
scheduled, we don't have much time.
We won't be able to avoid
any live-broadcasting
but we want to reduce that chance.
The script has to be revised in a
major way at least within 20 days.
A major... revision?
I thought you liked the script.
Your script is good. It's very
original and complete.
- But...
- But?
It's not going to make money.
If you want this drama to make
money and have high viewership ratings...
we need to go with a full-fledged melodrama.
The genre is noir so what do
you mean 'melodrama'?
If you want me to change the genre, then
does that mean you want the entire script changed?
That's right.
Japanese colonial time...
An anarchist's fate during the
unfortunate time in history...
If we hit it with this depressing
story from the episode one.
The channel will be changed 99.9 percent.
So the melodramatic line that
slowly creeps in the episode eight...
should be pulled in earlier
to show it in full-scale.
Ah, while you are at it, change
the main male character.
Change him to a millionaire.
Melodrama and a millionaire?
Are you saying you want to
make a common millionaire drama?
What's wrong with a millionaire?
You don't like a wealthy guy?
That's not what we are
talking about here.
Writer Lee. Don't
underestimate commonness.
That commonness has
been proven by the people.
That sad ending with the main
character's death is not good either.
Make it a happy ending.
In episode one, we'll
start from the modern times...
with the main character
reminiscing about the past.
That's a great way to insert indirect
advertising in a historical drama.
You want episode one to
be in the modern time?
Can we talk for a minute?
Why did you change your mind so suddenly?
I haven't changed my mind.
From the first time I read you script
I've been thinking the same thing.
So why are you revealing your
true intentions now?
I waited until we got on the drama
schedule and received the funding.
Because the scenario
was definitely quite good.
So you waited until the time is right.
From now on, you intend
to do whatever you want.
You can't do that.
I am the writer.
I'm going to make this clear to you.
You were hired by me.
And I have no intention of
creating art with this drama.
What I want is not a cult drama with 10 percent
ratings that's only popular among manias.
What I want is 40 percent
ratings that'll bring in money...
You mean a drama that'll bring
in money for your ambition.
Yes, with my ambition, you'll become
a star writer. What's wrong with that?
No, because of your ambition,
I can't change my entire work.
Money. Money. Money.
To you drama means money.
But drama isn't about that.
That's what drama is about!
The total annual sale of 680 billion won.
The economic benefit of one trillion won.
The work force hired is 20,000.
If the viewer rating hits the jackpot,
the economic prosperity will continue.
If not, that means you've lost.
That means your life will fall into hell.
You are crazy.
Yes, I'm crazy.
I'm going to succeed
and rule over things again.
I'm going to stand up again
as the king of dramas.
And make everyone
obey under my feet.
So this drama has to
succeed no matter what.
Bastard.
A full-blown melodrama?
That's what I mean.
Does that make any sense to you?
Does it make any sense that
a tragic story about a man...
living in a turbulent time should
be a full-blown melodrama?
A full-blown melodrama.
On top of that, because of the sponsored items,
he wants episode one to be set in modern times.
What do you think?
- That's a great idea.
- What? Excuse me?
Rather than going with a dark story,
a convoluted love story is much better.
And the mesmerizing male lead...
will get more offers for CFs.
And if we handle the sponsored
items for the modern setting well...
I'll get hooked up with a CF.
So... that's your reason?
What better reason than this?
I'm all set now.
What? What's all set?
I said I'm all set!
That woman has a temper.
She gets angry... making me embarrassed.
Hyun Min. I think the
current script is really good.
It's new and original.
My sister liked it too.
Kwang Soo.
If you are going to listen to your sister,
then you become her manager and mine.
Yes, we go on S broadcasting's
drama schedule.
We are in the
process of revising the script.
Hey. Hey, you burned it.
Ugh! What are
you thinking about?
Aren't you going to go in and write?
I thought you were busy.
I told him that I'll be working
from home for a few days.
Hurry up and go start writing.
Don't burn any more mackerels.
What are we going to do with this?
What? So?
Okay. I got it.
Good job.
Lee Go Eun is indeed not a push over.
- Excuse me?
- Lee Go Eun is on strike.
That means due to the cracks,
they are about to fall and crumble.
But then... How do you know
everything that goes on at Anthony's?
I planted a spy in there.
You go to the bathroom a lot nowadays.
Ah, it's constipation.
Fighting.
Sir, are you going somewhere?
You have more things to say?
You can trust me one last time.
You want me to trust you?
How?
How am I suppose to trust someone who
plans everything behind my back and betrays me?
This is all for our drama.
Our? What do you mean 'our' work?
You mean your work, right?
The weapon that will help the king of
drama, Anthony, to rule over the world.
When I was your age, I also had
no doubts about me being right.
But looking back now, I realize
it wasn't always the case.
I'll wait for you. Come back
but not too late.
- Mom.
- Why?
When you were my age,
have you ever been wrong
about the things you
thought were absolutely right?
Of course. We are not gods.
Sometimes you are right.
Sometimes wrong. That's how it is.
I wonder why I thought I was so right.
Thinking back now, I have so
many things I regret now.
One of them is the fact that
I was infatuated with your dad
enough to marry him and ended
up in sticks near Pusan.
Look at me. Who would have
thought I'd be a widow so soon?
Why? Did something happen?
No, it's not that.
Look at my skin sagging with aging.
When I was your age,
I was also very good looking.
This damn world has ruined my skin like this.
Writer Lee.
How is everyone?
Ah, yes... But...
Why? Is the president not in?
What? No, that's not...
Good. Good.
Right. Right.
This is 'Gyeongseong's Morning's'
writer Lee Go Eun.
Nice to meet you Writer Lee.
Yes, nice to meet you too.
This is writer Oh Yeon Sook whom
I've worked with for a while.
She's a capable writer who will supervise
the revision of 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
The scriptwriting will be done solo...
and Writer Oh will just supervise little revisions.
You don't mind, do you?
Let's try to work well together.
There isn't much time so I hope the
two of you will work well together
to come up with a high quality revisions.
Wow. Wow. How...
could you be like this to me until the end?
You are... not even human.
It's about to be begin now.
Hmm.
Is that right?
Writer Lee did?
I got it.
Yes. Yes.
Yes, I'll call you again.
I told you to go get some laxatives.
What have you been doing?
I got it right here.
But why are you out here?
All of a sudden, it started raining...
I came out here to
make sure you don't get wet.
Ah, yes.
Writer Jung.
What brought you here?
Suddenly, I just thought of you.
It's quince tea. It'll warm you up.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I don't think I was
all that innocent either.
I should have found out
what happened first.
Go Eun. Did something happen?
He even hired a supervising writer?
Anthony, this bastard.
I have no idea what I should do.
This will not only change the script
but will change the genre itself.
Yes, I read your script not too long ago.
Excuse me?
You were pretty good.
It was a new and original drama. Good.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
- Oh, come on in.
- How are you?
I didn't know you had a guest.
Oh, writer Lee Go Eun.
Hi, how are you?
Then why don't you go ahead and talk.
I'll come back later.
No, that's okay.
I need to get going soon.
No, that's okay. I have some
errands to run anyway.
- I'll come back after I'm finished.
- Okay. Okay. I'll call you.
- See you.
- Bye.
- I'm sorry. Because of me...
- What do you mean 'because of me'?
I can see him anytime.
Don't worry about it.
Anyway, Go Eun.
You have to protect your own work. Okay?
You should never make
a compromise with...
a dirty businessman like
Anthony. You understand?
Yes.
President Oh.
It's raining hard. I'll give you
a ride to the bus stop.
After he got the funding and the
TV schedule with your script...
He's gone too far.
You can't touch a work like 'Gyeongseong's
Morning' where the genre is the key.
But no matter what,
I'm going to protect my work.
Then, how about this?
Why don't you just break
the contract with him?
Excuse me? What do you
mean 'break the contract'?
Anthony will never compromise.
So breaking the contract is the
only way to save your work.
But how do I break the contract?
You just need to pay the penalty fee of three
times the amount of your signing bonus.
I can help you out.
At the part where it's going from
the modern time to the past...
If we set-up the character relationship
the way we talked about...
it'll give a strong melodramatic feel.
Then we can definitely establish the
melodramatic line by the end of the episode one.
You've gotten really good, Writer Oh.
But, do you think Writer Lee
will go along with this?
I'm going to take care of it.
So you don't need to worry about it.
Anyway, looks good. Let's go
with what we talked about.
Let's rest for 10 minutes and we'll
start working on the episode two.
Okay.
Have you calmed down?
I thought it was common
courtesy to call you.
This will be my last call to you.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to quit.
- What? You are going to quit?
- Yes. I'm going to quit.
You've signed the contract
to work on this drama with me.
Don't you understand what that means?
I'm going to pay the penalty fee.
It should be fine if it's three
times the amount of signing bonus.
Don't tell me you are...
Are you with Oh Jin Wan?
Hello. Lee Go Eun. Lee Go...
Are you really going to pay the penalty
fee for her and sign the contract?
How could I miss this chance
for that little money?
We should get the drama.
And we will discard Lee Go Eun after a while.
Discard her?
We can have a veteran
writer working solely on it.
We will leave Lee Go Eun out of it.
Ah... Yes.
Hurry up and get a writer's contract ready.
Yes.
This is the writer's contract.
Well, then. Why don't you sign it?
You can't come in here.
- Get out of my way.
- What are you doing? Get him.
Let me go. Get out of my way!
- No, Lee Go Eun.
- Get him out of here!
You can't sign!

Who is it this time?
The one you want to punch.
- Kang Hyun Min.
- There is someone like Director Goo.
He is the veteran of the veterans.
I heard he became a dog seller.
Long time no see.
'Cheongdam-dong Rabied Dog'

[Episode 5]
[The Counterattack of the Loser]
I put everything I have
left into this drama.
I beg you. Please give me
that slot on the schedule.
You are such a low human being.
You used to act like money
could solve everything.
Now you're shamelessly begging me.
It doesn't matter what you think.
But at this moment...
what I want more than anything is
to have my drama on the schedule.
At this moment, what I want
more than anything is...
to have scum like you disappear
from drama production forever.
Do you understand?
Director.
Is it really not possible?
As long as I am the director,
I'm not going to change my mind.
Writer Jung Hong Joo is here.
Welcome, Writer Jung.
I heard the scoop.
The scheduling is very dramatic this time.
What did I tell you? As long as I'm here
Anthony will never be able to make a comeback.
Please be prompt with the script.
We are going to be on
the S Broadcasting
November schedule with
Elegant Revenge Part Two.
I'm going to do it.
I'm going to be the finalist for contest
and will have my name on the screenplay.
- Writer Lee.
- PD Joo.
What are you doing here?
I'm thinking about entering
the screenplay contest.
One of the reasons why I was let go
was because I've never won a contest.
Ah, yes... I think I'm also
going to be jobless soon.
How come?
"Gyeongseong's Morning" was taken off
from the schedule after all.
What do you mean 'taken off'?
CP Nam Woon Young became the new director.
- He did?
-Yes.
It's shocking, isn't it?
But...
He really dislikes our President
so as soon as he became the director...
he announced that our drama
shouldn't be on the schedule.
The President is coming.
I'm going to get going now.
Sir.
[Empire's President Oh: Bad Dude]
Look who's calling.
Hyun Min. Are you doing well?
Of course, I'm doing well.
I can't even write my own
name in Chinese characters.
And I'm a money crazy bastard.
But I'm doing super well.
- Hyun Min.
- That's fine.
Anyway, why did you call?
There is something you don't know
so I wanted to tell you about it.
What don't I know?
The fact that about four hours ago...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' has been
taken off the drama schedule.
So you didn't know.
Do you think I'd be tricked by such a ridiculous lie?
Whether you believe it or not,
that's up to you.
Then, take care.
What's the matter?
Kwang Soo...
Call S Broadcasting now.
Find out what happened
to the drama scheduling.
- What?
- Hurry up!
How is your analysis of the script going?
Analysis of the script my ass.
What the hell is going on?
I heard "Gyeongseong's Morning
has been kicked off the schedule.
- It's true.
- What?
But exactly 48 hours later, our drama
will be back on the November schedule.
How?
With my own ways that no one can copy...
So I'm asking you how you are
going to get back on the schedule?
Hyun Min. This is Anthony.
I survived this bloody battle field of drama
making by eliminating so many foes.
I told you. It'll be 48 hours.
After 48 hours, the only survivors will be
you, me and 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
What is he saying?
He asked me to wait two days.
He said he'll get back on the schedule.
Do you think it'll go well?
How...
would I know that!
I'm sorry. But he's
asking you to go back.
Tell him that I'll wait out
here until he sees me.
I'm sorry to have come by at such
a late hour, Deputy Director Kim.
If you are sorry then go back.
I have nothing to say to you.
I'm on your side.
Just give me little
time to talk to you.
- If I may say directly, I'm not on your side.
- I know.
- You know.
- Yes.
I also know that you'll be
on my side starting today.
Anthony...
I don't know what makes
you so confident but...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' has been
eliminated from the schedule.
I want you to advocate for
'Gyeongseong's Morning' now.
What?
I know very well you've been
pushing for Elegant Revenge Part Two.
But that'll only further secure
the position of the new director.
If you want to bring down the Director Nam...
you shouldn't push for Elegant Revenge Two,
for which is what Director Nam is advocating.
But you should push for 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
which is opposed by Director Nam.
Bring down Director Nam?
What are you talking about?
Actually, the director position
should have been yours.
You...
Aren't you bitter that you lost the
director's position to someone so junior?
Please show them who's in charge
in the drama department.
Then that powerless puppet director will be gone
and the real director will finally be in his position.
Director...
Sir, what are you
planning on doing?
Once you awaken the desire deep within,
there will be an enemy you'll need to defeat.
Attack your enemy with another enemy.
Attack your enemy with another enemy?
And...
when the enemy becomes exhausted,
then you end its life.
The Director is here.
Hello.
Why don't we get started?
After examining all the prospective
dramas for the November time slot...
For the Monday and Tuesday time slot,
we have decided that...
Empire Production's Elegant Revenge
Part Two will be the final choice.
Director Nam.
Even though it's writer Jung Hong Joo,
giving them the time slot
based on a synopsis alone
doesn't seem that prudent.
I agree with Deputy Director Park.
On top of that, they still haven't done
the casting for the main lead yet.
Yes, that's right.
But I've already looked over a
part of the script this morning.
Also I got a commitment from the production
company that they'll finalize the casting this week.
Is that good?
However with the top star casting
with four scripts out already...
'Gyeongseong's Morning' will be
more of a secure choice.
Deputy Director, let's not discuss a drama
that's been eliminated already.
I'm telling you this because there
is no reason for it to be eliminated.
This decision was made after
a careful consideration. Okay?
Then I want you to reconsider.
Excuse me?
If you make such a high-handed, unilateral
decision like this, there could be a problem.
I don't know what kind of
problem you are talking about.
But should there be any problem,
I'll be the one who will be responsible.
Is that okay?
Next.
I can't follow such a high-handed
unilateral decision.
Let's go.
The meeting is not over yet.
Please sit down.
You've been pushing for Elegant Revenge all along.
What made you change your mind?
Then why do you want to give
the November slot to Empire Production?
Deputy Director.
I made this decision not as
your junior, Nam Woon Young...
but as the director of
the drama department.
I am also communicating to you about
the opinion of people in the department.
Deputy Director.
By any chance... if you'd struck a
deal with someone behind my back...
I will never condone it.
Do you understand?
Nam Woon Young.
No matter how much you bark and
scurry about, you are still below me.
Yes, you are right.
However the schedule will go out under
the name of the director, Nam Woon Young.
Do you understand?
Did you ask for me?
You should proceed with Elegant
Revenge Part Two on the schedule.
- Director Nam
- Didn't you hear what I said?
Ah, yes. I understand, Director.
Why don't you go?
There should be a reservation
under the name Jung Jae Hoon.
Please come this way.
Oh, come on in.
This is my friend I was telling you about.
We studied together in the States.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Anthony Kim.
Oh, nice to meet you.
Have a seat.
This way.
What do you do for a living?
He's involved in drama production.
Drama?
Wow... such difficult work.
So how is it going?
I'm currently working on a drama that has a
Japanese investment of 10 billion won ($10 million).
But it's not going as smoothly as I would like it to.
Wow... if it's 10 billion won...
This fellow sure has his ways, huh?
You flatter me.
What is it called?
Yes, it's called 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
When it goes on air,
I hope you will watch it.
Okay.
Everyone go ahead.
4 pm.
- Ugh.
- Why? He's not answering?
He didn't even turn it on.
Anthony, that bastard.
Hyun Min. Let's just call President Oh now...
and tell him you'll do
Elegant Revenge Part Two.
What?
Are you telling me that I should be on my
hand and knees begging him or something?
If you don't, are you just going
to trust what Anthony said...
and suck your thumb after losing everything?
Before it's too late, let's go
with Empire Production.
You've signed the contract but haven't
received any money from Anthony yet.
- Okay?
- How many hours?
Two hours left.
Then, I'll just wait for two hours.
If I still haven't heard from him by then, I'll go.
But, you have to do the begging.
Okay.
This is the drafted proof of scheduling
for Elegant Revenge Part Two.
Once you sign it off, I'll proceed immediately.
Yes, thank you.
- Yes.
- The President would like to see you.
- The President would?
- Yes.
Okay.
Did you want to see me?
Come on in Director Nam.
You know him already.
From World Production...
I'm Anthony Kim.
I heard you like the drama
Anthony's producing.
I hope you'd consider positively
about World Production's...
'Gyeongseong's Morning'
for the November schedule.
Unfortunately, we've decided on a
different drama for the November slot.
Is that the opinion of the
entire drama department?
Excuse me?
From what I know, others in the department
are thinking differently about this.
President. It's been decided already.
Director Nam. Are you not
understanding what I am saying?
How long do you think you'll last
resorting to these types of tricks?
This drama needs to be successful
in order for you to last long as well.
Anyway, you are amazing.
Not too long ago, you were on your
hands and knees begging.
Now you're using power
to get what you want?
You're truly amazing.
Have you forgotten...
that I'm the type of person who would
do anything to get what I want?
This is my last advice to you.
You've done enough so
you should back off now.
I'll give you advice as well.
You should admit that you've lost
now and accept the result.
You'll feel less shameful that way.
With that, I'll consider you've given me
the November slot on the schedule.
Let's make this clear now.
I'm giving in this time only because I don't want
to waste 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
Don't forget.
Don't forget this either.
No matter what, now we are
on board the same ship.
The same ship? Don't delude yourself.
That's not your ship.
That depends on one's perspective.
Then...
That's right.
I'm going to bring Writer Lee back on board.
What?
You didn't lift a finger when
she got booted, so why now?
Because she is the one who will write
'Gyeongseong's Morning' better than anyone.
The Monday and Tuesday drama
of November, 2012 has been...
decided for 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
from World Production.
The Coordinating Producer
should get the scripts in now.
Send the proof of scheduling
to the production company.
Yes, I got it.
That'll be all.
Yes, Chairman. This is Anthony Kim.
(Japanese)
I received the proof of scheduling you sent.
As promised, I'll send you the
money for the drama right away.
I assure you that it'll be the
best drama of the year.
Everyone. The first round of
funding in the amount of
3.3 billion won ($3.3 million)
has been deposited.
Wow, are we really going
to get going now?
Of course we are.
Chief Park. Please hurry up and
wire the money to Kang Hyun Min.
Okay.
What do you think about this?
This is absolutely awesome.
It feels good.
This is okay, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah. It feels good.
Very good. Very nice.
This car...
How much is this car?
It's 62.3 million won ($623,000).
- And if you want the full option...
- Stop. Stop. Stop.
It's too cheap.
Bit Na. I'm giving you this as a gift,
and this price make me feel cheap.
Let's try a different car.
It can't be a cheap car.
Then should we?
Jesus.
Phone message. Text. Anything yet?
No, nothing yet.
Anthony, that bastard.
I'm about to get embarrassed
using multiple cards.
Shouldn't you create an obstacle
so she doesn't get a car?
Hyun Min... Hyun Min. Hyun Min.
Okay, I'm coming.
Bit Na.
['Gyeongseong's Morning':
SBC November Scheduling Confirmed]
I'll schedule Elegant Revenge
Part Two for next year.
It's not over yet.
- Excuse me?
- I said it's not over yet.
But the scheduling has been
already confirmed for Anthony.
The winner doesn't smile last.
The one who smiles last is the winner.
The game is...
not over yet.
As you instructed, we wired the
money to Kang Hyun Min...
and also let the press know
about the scheduling.
And this...
I got your car that
was held as a collateral.
Good job.
But what are you going to do about
the writer for 'Gyeongseong's Morning'?
Do we know any other writer?
We are closed.
How have you been?
It's been a long time.
But what brought you here?
Ah, I'm here because of writer Lee Go Eun.
Go Eun?
Didn't she go down to the
countryside to write her scripts?
She just called not too long ago...
and was happy that the
company got her a nice room.
So everyone didn't
go down together?
Ah, yes. We all went down together
and we were just on our way back.
Ah. Ah... So how come you are...
Writer Lee was worried about
you so I came by to check on you.
Ah... Yes.
Oh my. I left the soup on the stove.
Just a minute please.
Once you become my age...
What? He left without
even saying good bye?
I thought he had changed little.
He's that same jerk he used to be.
This is a bed and breakfast.
I plan on staying there tomorrow.
What's your address?
Oh my. Are you up already?
Good morning.
Unlike young girls nowadays,
you are an early bird, aren't you?
You were doing something
all night last night too.
Ah, I'm preparing for the
TV drama screenplay contest.
Drama? Are you a drama writer?
No, not yet.
But I'm going to become one.
The air here is different than in Seoul.
What's this?
How did you know about this place?
So why did you turn off your phone
and make it hard to find you?
Don't come near me.
I know. I'm sure you've
been resentful of me.
Whenever I need you, I find you
and then throw you away. But...
I told you not to come near me.
I don't want to deal with
someone like you anymore.
'Gyeongseong's Morning' TV
scheduling has been confirmed.
So I came here to make you come back.
Hurry up and let's go back up.
November 5th is...
I told you not to come near me.
What kind of stupid tricks...
Ugh! Dummy.
If you can't swim, why did you jump in, huh?
He's really driving me crazy.
What kind of stupid tricks...
Oh, you are awake now.
Where is the woman who
fell in the water with me?
Huh? Ah, you mean the one who called 911?
She returned home first.
I guess you are feeling better now.
Go then.
Lee Go Eun. What I told you
earlier is all true.
The writer of 'Gyeongseong's Morning'
should be you.
So you need to come back.
Why?
Why is it me? You had no
qualms about firing me before.
So why are you asking
me to come back now?
The new Director wants you to return.
But you are not the type to readily
agree to do something like that.
Tell me. What's the real reason?
There is no one cheaper than you.
I need you, and you can
fashionably debut as a screenwriter.
If you need time, I'll give you
one day to think about things.
But don't let your pride get in your way...
and end up throwing away what
may be the last chance in your life.
So...
When did you say the drama
was supposed to air?
What's this? Did you get a new car?
This is my real car.
But if you don't know how to swim,
why did you jump in the water?
It couldn't have been because
you were worried about me.
I slipped.
We've arrived. You can get off.
Oh, are we here already?
You didn't doze off while driving, did you?
I didn't get a chance to get sleepy.
Because someone was snoring
and grinding her teeth.
But that's good that you
didn't doze off while driving.
Go home and sleep some more.
And come around the office around 2pm.
We have a lot to do.
Gosh. He talks so 'nicely.'
Nicely...
Ah, mom!
Were you looking for me?
Writer Lee has returned.
We need to start moving now.
Start moving?
It's going to start now.
If you say it's starting...
Soon, the crack will begin to show.
I know Anthony's ways real well.
What? Writer Lee Go Eun
will be returning?
Yeah, that's what Anthony said.
You stupid fools!
Is she crazy or something?
- What are you doing not getting her out?
- You stupid fools!
- She is totally wasted.
- That's mine!
- Hyun Min
- Huh?
What's the matter?
What do you think the matter is?
They say that Writer Lee is returning.
When I asked you to kick her out,
you totally dragged her out the door.
That Lee Go Eun is going to return.
Aren't you even worried?
What? That happened?
She might get back at me through her script.
Writer Lee doesn't seem like
the type who would do that.
It's because you don't know. She is a total...
Gangster. A gangster.
What should I do now?
Writer Lee. Congratulations on your return.
You have no idea how happy I was
when I heard that you'll be returning.
Writer Lee Go Eun. Fighting!
Look at this. Look at this.
She hasn't written me a reply yet.
She's going to get back at me for sure.
It hasn't even been a minute
since you texted her.
Kwang Soo. She's got the biggest
grudge she could hold against me.
Thank you. The bouquet
you sent is really pretty.
We met under strange circumstances.
But I'm going to try my best.
What did I tell you. She's not
as petty as you think she is.
You are not going to do this right?
Excuse me?
In the budget items, the total for the
filming equipment is not correct.
That can't be. I checked three
times with a calculator.
Have I ever been wrong?
No, you've always been right
in terms of calculations.
It's after 2pm. Where is Writer Lee?
She's still not in?
I'll find out.
Yes, I'm almost there.
Tell him I'll be there shortly.
- Okay.
- Writer Lee Go Eun.
Hi, how are you?
What are you doing here?
My company is nearby.
Ah, that's right.
World Production office is near here.
Then what brought you out here?
Ah, yes. I had a meeting in this
neighborhood. I'm on my way back.
- Oh, so that's why.
- Yes.
Anyway, congratulations on getting
on the drama schedule.
Sure.
I'm sincere so please
don't misunderstand.
It's just that I personally detest Anthony.
But I have nothing against you or your work.
It is regrettable that Empire Production
is not going to produce
such a new and original work
such as 'Gyeongseong's Morning.'
After this, you need to give us
a chance to work with you.
Yes, I'll do that.
Then.
Congratulations on your return.
As soon as you walked in, you
brightened this gloomy office.
Thank you. How have you been?
Until we got on the schedule,
it was sheer hell.
Welcome back.
That's enough of congratulatory greeting.
We'll start the script meeting right away.
Yes.
Since we have the drama TV air date
scheduled, we don't have much time.
We won't be able to avoid
any live-broadcasting
but we want to reduce that chance.
The script has to be revised in a
major way at least within 20 days.
A major... revision?
I thought you liked the script.
Your script is good. It's very
original and complete.
- But...
- But?
It's not going to make money.
If you want this drama to make
money and have high viewership ratings...
we need to go with a full-fledged melodrama.
The genre is noir so what do
you mean 'melodrama'?
If you want me to change the genre, then
does that mean you want the entire script changed?
That's right.
Japanese colonial time...
An anarchist's fate during the
unfortunate time in history...
If we hit it with this depressing
story from the episode one.
The channel will be changed 99.9 percent.
So the melodramatic line that
slowly creeps in the episode eight...
should be pulled in earlier
to show it in full-scale.
Ah, while you are at it, change
the main male character.
Change him to a millionaire.
Melodrama and a millionaire?
Are you saying you want to
make a common millionaire drama?
What's wrong with a millionaire?
You don't like a wealthy guy?
That's not what we are
talking about here.
Writer Lee. Don't
underestimate commonness.
That commonness has
been proven by the people.
That sad ending with the main
character's death is not good either.
Make it a happy ending.
In episode one, we'll
start from the modern times...
with the main character
reminiscing about the past.
That's a great way to insert indirect
advertising in a historical drama.
You want episode one to
be in the modern time?
Can we talk for a minute?
Why did you change your mind so suddenly?
I haven't changed my mind.
From the first time I read you script
I've been thinking the same thing.
So why are you revealing your
true intentions now?
I waited until we got on the drama
schedule and received the funding.
Because the scenario
was definitely quite good.
So you waited until the time is right.
From now on, you intend
to do whatever you want.
You can't do that.
I am the writer.
I'm going to make this clear to you.
You were hired by me.
And I have no intention of
creating art with this drama.
What I want is not a cult drama with 10 percent
ratings that's only popular among manias.
What I want is 40 percent
ratings that'll bring in money...
You mean a drama that'll bring
in money for your ambition.
Yes, with my ambition, you'll become
a star writer. What's wrong with that?
No, because of your ambition,
I can't change my entire work.
Money. Money. Money.
To you drama means money.
But drama isn't about that.
That's what drama is about!
The total annual sale of 680 billion won.
The economic benefit of one trillion won.
The work force hired is 20,000.
If the viewer rating hits the jackpot,
the economic prosperity will continue.
If not, that means you've lost.
That means your life will fall into hell.
You are crazy.
Yes, I'm crazy.
I'm going to succeed
and rule over things again.
I'm going to stand up again
as the king of dramas.
And make everyone
obey under my feet.
So this drama has to
succeed no matter what.
Bastard.
A full-blown melodrama?
That's what I mean.
Does that make any sense to you?
Does it make any sense that
a tragic story about a man...
living in a turbulent time should
be a full-blown melodrama?
A full-blown melodrama.
On top of that, because of the sponsored items,
he wants episode one to be set in modern times.
What do you think?
- That's a great idea.
- What? Excuse me?
Rather than going with a dark story,
a convoluted love story is much better.
And the mesmerizing male lead...
will get more offers for CFs.
And if we handle the sponsored
items for the modern setting well...
I'll get hooked up with a CF.
So... that's your reason?
What better reason than this?
I'm all set now.
What? What's all set?
I said I'm all set!
That woman has a temper.
She gets angry... making me embarrassed.
Hyun Min. I think the
current script is really good.
It's new and original.
My sister liked it too.
Kwang Soo.
If you are going to listen to your sister,
then you become her manager and mine.
Yes, we go on S broadcasting's
drama schedule.
We are in the
process of revising the script.
Hey. Hey, you burned it.
Ugh! What are
you thinking about?
Aren't you going to go in and write?
I thought you were busy.
I told him that I'll be working
from home for a few days.
Hurry up and go start writing.
Don't burn any more mackerels.
What are we going to do with this?
What? So?
Okay. I got it.
Good job.
Lee Go Eun is indeed not a push over.
- Excuse me?
- Lee Go Eun is on strike.
That means due to the cracks,
they are about to fall and crumble.
But then... How do you know
everything that goes on at Anthony's?
I planted a spy in there.
You go to the bathroom a lot nowadays.
Ah, it's constipation.
Fighting.
Sir, are you going somewhere?
You have more things to say?
You can trust me one last time.
You want me to trust you?
How?
How am I suppose to trust someone who
plans everything behind my back and betrays me?
This is all for our drama.
Our? What do you mean 'our' work?
You mean your work, right?
The weapon that will help the king of
drama, Anthony, to rule over the world.
When I was your age, I also had
no doubts about me being right.
But looking back now, I realize
it wasn't always the case.
I'll wait for you. Come back
but not too late.
- Mom.
- Why?
When you were my age,
have you ever been wrong
about the things you
thought were absolutely right?
Of course. We are not gods.
Sometimes you are right.
Sometimes wrong. That's how it is.
I wonder why I thought I was so right.
Thinking back now, I have so
many things I regret now.
One of them is the fact that
I was infatuated with your dad
enough to marry him and ended
up in sticks near Pusan.
Look at me. Who would have
thought I'd be a widow so soon?
Why? Did something happen?
No, it's not that.
Look at my skin sagging with aging.
When I was your age,
I was also very good looking.
This damn world has ruined my skin like this.
Writer Lee.
How is everyone?
Ah, yes... But...
Why? Is the president not in?
What? No, that's not...
Good. Good.
Right. Right.
This is 'Gyeongseong's Morning's'
writer Lee Go Eun.
Nice to meet you Writer Lee.
Yes, nice to meet you too.
This is writer Oh Yeon Sook whom
I've worked with for a while.
She's a capable writer who will supervise
the revision of 'Gyeongseong's Morning'.
The scriptwriting will be done solo...
and Writer Oh will just supervise little revisions.
You don't mind, do you?
Let's try to work well together.
There isn't much time so I hope the
two of you will work well together
to come up with a high quality revisions.
Wow. Wow. How...
could you be like this to me until the end?
You are... not even human.
It's about to be begin now.
Hmm.
Is that right?
Writer Lee did?
I got it.
Yes. Yes.
Yes, I'll call you again.
I told you to go get some laxatives.
What have you been doing?
I got it right here.
But why are you out here?
All of a sudden, it started raining...
I came out here to
make sure you don't get wet.
Ah, yes.
Writer Jung.
What brought you here?
Suddenly, I just thought of you.
It's quince tea. It'll warm you up.
I'm sorry. I was wrong.
I don't think I was
all that innocent either.
I should have found out
what happened first.
Go Eun. Did something happen?
He even hired a supervising writer?
Anthony, this bastard.
I have no idea what I should do.
This will not only change the script
but will change the genre itself.
Yes, I read your script not too long ago.
Excuse me?
You were pretty good.
It was a new and original drama. Good.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
- Oh, come on in.
- How are you?
I didn't know you had a guest.
Oh, writer Lee Go Eun.
Hi, how are you?
Then why don't you go ahead and talk.
I'll come back later.
No, that's okay.
I need to get going soon.
No, that's okay. I have some
errands to run anyway.
- I'll come back after I'm finished.
- Okay. Okay. I'll call you.
- See you.
- Bye.
- I'm sorry. Because of me...
- What do you mean 'because of me'?
I can see him anytime.
Don't worry about it.
Anyway, Go Eun.
You have to protect your own work. Okay?
You should never make
a compromise with...
a dirty businessman like
Anthony. You understand?
Yes.
President Oh.
It's raining hard. I'll give you
a ride to the bus stop.
After he got the funding and the
TV schedule with your script...
He's gone too far.
You can't touch a work like 'Gyeongseong's
Morning' where the genre is the key.
But no matter what,
I'm going to protect my work.
Then, how about this?
Why don't you just break
the contract with him?
Excuse me? What do you
mean 'break the contract'?
Anthony will never compromise.
So breaking the contract is the
only way to save your work.
But how do I break the contract?
You just need to pay the penalty fee of three
times the amount of your signing bonus.
I can help you out.
At the part where it's going from
the modern time to the past...
If we set-up the character relationship
the way we talked about...
it'll give a strong melodramatic feel.
Then we can definitely establish the
melodramatic line by the end of the episode one.
You've gotten really good, Writer Oh.
But, do you think Writer Lee
will go along with this?
I'm going to take care of it.
So you don't need to worry about it.
Anyway, looks good. Let's go
with what we talked about.
Let's rest for 10 minutes and we'll
start working on the episode two.
Okay.
Have you calmed down?
I thought it was common
courtesy to call you.
This will be my last call to you.
What are you talking about?
I'm going to quit.
- What? You are going to quit?
- Yes. I'm going to quit.
You've signed the contract
to work on this drama with me.
Don't you understand what that means?
I'm going to pay the penalty fee.
It should be fine if it's three
times the amount of signing bonus.
Don't tell me you are...
Are you with Oh Jin Wan?
Hello. Lee Go Eun. Lee Go...
Are you really going to pay the penalty
fee for her and sign the contract?
How could I miss this chance
for that little money?
We should get the drama.
And we will discard Lee Go Eun after a while.
Discard her?
We can have a veteran
writer working solely on it.
We will leave Lee Go Eun out of it.
Ah... Yes.
Hurry up and get a writer's contract ready.
Yes.
This is the writer's contract.
Well, then. Why don't you sign it?
You can't come in here.
- Get out of my way.
- What are you doing? Get him.
Let me go. Get out of my way!
- No, Lee Go Eun.
- Get him out of here!
You can't sign!
