[upbeat rhythmic music playing]

♪ Love to hate you ♪

[vocalizing]

[sighs]

[Kang-ho] Why do you like me?

A special gift!

[drumroll playing]

[gong rings]

One date with me!

Get some food, go for a drive.

- Anything else you want to do?
- [scoffs]



Answer me this,
did I end up seducing Nam Kang-ho now?

[intriguing music playing]

[laughs]

- Thank you.
- [woman] Goodbye.

Okay.

- Does it hurt where I kicked you?
- No, it feels fine. [grunts, groans]

[sighs]

Look, I don't even do this
at my fan meetings, but...

Here.

[intriguing music continues]

It's okay.

[chuckles]

Oh!

Happy birthday to you.



[Mi-ran grunts]

Oh. Well, um, thank you.

[Kang-ho] My hand isn't locking up.

Oh!

You know, I'm so grateful to have...

[exclaims]

[Kang-ho] No anxiety attack.

[upbeat pop music playing]

What's happening?

[heart thumping]

- [bubbling]
- [chiming]

LOVE IS JUST AN EXPERIMENT,
LIFE IS THE REAL THING

NAM DOES IT AGAIN

SETS A RECORD
GOD OF ROMANCE

#NAMKANGHOROMANCE

KANG-HO, SE-NA
IN YOO SUNG-JUN FILM

NEW FILM SHADOW

WILL NAM BECOME YOO'S MUSE?

[sighs]

They say that things can develop fast
between a man and a woman.

Just about as quick as you were fired.

- Seduced him, did ya?
- Who, me?

[snorts] Why are you getting so upset?

It's just a logical suspicion.
We hired you to handle Choi Soo-jin,

and yet you pulled out
all the stops for Kang-ho.

What? A fight training partner?

Was it good? Was it fun?
Rolling around and wrestling?

- [gasps]
- [scoffs]

Wait, wait, wait.

Tell me, you're not gonna get sued
over this, are you?

[gasps]

Out of anybody, I should be suing.

Nam Kang-ho has been making moves
since I got hired! So I drew a clear line.

Then he got embarrassed,
and I was let go.

Ah!

- I've made a terrible mistake.
- [whines]

That's why they say you should never tell
divas that they're pretty.

- I can set you up with a good shrink.
- Ah, shi...

Ah, shi... shi... What was that all about?
Did you just curse at me, huh?

I did not, sir! I wish there was
a photo to prove my innocence.

[Yong-woo] Close it. Gently!

[sighs]

[Kang-ho] Happy birthday to you.

[sighs]

You know... [grunting]

I'm so grateful to have... [exclaims, gasps]

[exhales deeply]

[heart thumping]

[Mi-ran] Oh my. He is kind of handsome.

[gentle music playing]

[breathing shakily]

[exhales softly]

[inhales sharply]

[gentle music continues]

[both breathing heavily]

[Kang-ho gasping]

[Mi-ran gasps]

[Won-jun chewing]

Man, I told you she'd cross the line,
didn't I? I told you to be careful, huh?

And in the name of training for the movie,
you wrestled with her,

rolling around and hugging her,
then it triggered your attack.

[poignant music playing]

And in the end,
you really didn't train that much.

You only got your butt kicked. [groans]

Did you have to get beat up
to come to your senses?

You should have just listened to me
from the start.

[sighs] You're right.

So, how far did it go?

- Did she kiss you?
- [sighs] She didn't.

Well, I'm just asking
'cause you terminated her.

Wait a minute.

[poignant music continues]

- She didn't find out, did she?
- 'Course not.

- [sighs]
- [chiming]

[heart thumping]

[Mi-ran breathing heavily]

[romantic music playing]

[Kang-ho] No anxiety attack.

What's happening?

[Kang-ho gasping]

[Mi-ran gasps, sighs]

- [Kang-ho spluttering]
- [Mi-ran exclaims]

- [Kang-ho continues spluttering]
- [Mi-ran sighs]

- Was that fan service good enough?
- [scoffs]

[Kang-ho] It didn't trigger an attack.
There was no reaction.

Excuse me?
What exactly did you mean by that?

Fan service?

[breathing heavily]

Actually, I've never done
this much for fan service.

I hope this will be
a cherished memory forever.

Cherished memory?

Wow, holy crap.

- Am I the asshole, or are you the asshole?
- Huh?

Asshole?

I'm supposed to feel
so blessed and privileged, right?

After you hugged
and kissed me at your whim?

[laughing incredulously]

Damn it. I can't let this go.

Oh shit.

I have to confess. I was never your fan.

I tripped you on purpose and made you fall
because you are a self-centered asshole.

In fact, that wasn't
the first time I saw you.

I saw you a while back
in the parking lot of the resort.

"She's just trying to find herself
a mega-rich guy,

so why does she even work?
Oh, yeah. That's right!"

"So she can bring up her status."

"Because she thinks
that if she raises her value,

everyone will bid on her, right?"

[scoffs] "After all,
that's every woman's dream, I suppose."

[ominous music playing]

[gasps, exhales slowly]

And yet, you still insisted
on being my lawyer?

[cat meows]

Then again... anti-fans
are more relentless, I guess.

[rock music playing]

[grunting]

I was drunk. [grunts] How could I?

How did I remember
exactly every single word he said!

[panting]

Am I a genius?

My memory is that good? [exhales]

Then again... anti-fans
are more relentless, I guess.

I had no clue it was the case.

[somber music playing]

[breathing shakily]

[Kang-ho] I had no clue it was the case.

Shit.

No clue for what? What? What? What?

Oh, so what?

[breathes deeply]

All done. Wow, you look pretty.

What's all this? Why am I so shiny?

It's not shiny.
It's a glow like a star, bling-bling.

I used a base
to make you look rejuvenated.

I don't want that.
I want natural. Natural.

This is as natural as it gets.
Are you trying to look dead?

Please do it again. Take out the base
and make me look pale and sick.

[makeup artist sighs]

Just the thought of her
all dolled up makes me...

[sighs] Damn.

Well, I wouldn't count on that.

She won't be that blatant.

You'll see.

I betcha... she's gonna look
like she's been troubled.

[intriguing music playing]

[Kang-ho] You were right.

[Won-jun] I told you.

Now we get to meet finally. [chuckles]

So, have you been well?

[scoffs]

[sighs]

[intriguing music continues]

[inhales sharply]

We are sorry about the past.

We wrongfully accused you as a stalker

and haven't had the chance
to give a proper apology to you.

It's not like you haven't had the chance.

There are plenty of occasions
that we ran into each other, right? Huh?

Let's not talk about the past.

We've all moved on.

[footsteps approaching]

I'm sorry to inform you, but the director
won't be able to join you.

He'll reach out.

Yes, we've deposited for her treatment.

Yep, 30 million won. She'll be out soon.

Sure, I'll see you then.

- You got this.
- [bell rings]

[chuckles softly]

- [gulps]
- [cat yowls]

[Young-ki clears throat]

A drink tonight? I'm buying.

- Hey, guys, tonight who wants some booze?
- Oh, me!

- It'd be nice if it was just us two.
- Thank him. He's buying!

All right. Just one person,
first come, first serve.

- [laughing]
- Uh, just one person. [chuckles]

- I'm on my way. Meet you there.
- I have to decline.

- [man] That's very considerate of him.
- And you're leaving? Wait.

Ms. Yeo, hey, you have to come too.

[sighs]

She's hard to get.
It's fine 'cause she's cute, though.

Mi-ran's a real pill.

[sighs]

- Are you all right?
- Mm-hmm. Thanks to everyone's concern.

Coffee?

They're probably just looking
for a chance to get close to you.

I know. But everyone is so ordinary.

- There's no surprise.
- What happened with Nam Kang-ho?

[intriguing music playing]

[sighs]

Sorry, I know we said
that we'd work together.

- Did something happen with you two?
- Like what?

- Sleep together?
- [sighs]

Oh, right. We shouldn't discuss
a client's personal life, huh?

But it's no problem
discussing mine, right?

- Stay in your lane.
- [scoffs]

So this is why all the guys
who dated you ended up ruined.

You never really liked them at all,
did you?

It's like they didn't even matter.

[inhales] I gave you a reason
to be mad, so I understand.

That's why you cheated out of revenge.

[sighs]

I don't understand
why you think I needed a reason.

I'm flirtatious, just like many men are.

This is just how I am.
It has nothing to do with you.

Just how you are.

- [scoffs]
- [phone ringing]

- Yes, sir.
- [Yong-woo] It's an emergency!

You and Mi-ran get here right now!

I hear that after a kiss scene
with an actress, he had a very hard time.

He even showed symptoms of nausea.

That's why he does his very best
when he has to shoot a kiss scene

so that the director
would film it all in one take.

[men on tablet] Ah.

[host] And there's even a rumor
that he and his boss, Mr. Do,

are longtime lovers.

Apparently, Mr. Do follows him around
anywhere he's filming.

[man] His manager?
Instead of an assistant or a coordinator?

[host] Reportedly, they always sleep
together in the same room as well.

Now take a look at this here. This is
from a brunch café, taken this morning.

- [tense music playing]
- [groans]

[host] When men go to a café,
it's either to sign a contract

or to borrow money or something
like that, am I right?

- Wow, that looks so romantic.
- [chuckles]

Hey, maybe they were together
last night too.

All the pieces are coming together
on how he's never had... any rumors.

- [mimics fart with hands]
- Ah!

You said Nam Kang-ho made a move on you?

[gasps] Are you a dude? Transgender?

No, I'm not. They also spread
fake news about Ms. Choi, remember?

I never thought of Nam Kang-ho like that,
but wow!

Being gay isn't a sin.
There's nothing wrong.

The top priority is to kill these rumors
and get Nam Kang-ho back on set.

You better do your best!

After that, gather evidence and label them
CC, BB exhibits to prove your case.

I'm sure you'll put
your best foot forward, right?

- I'm doing this alone?
- [Yong-woo] Thoughts?

Have them both handle the case.

When you meet with Nam Kang-ho,
Yeo Mi-ran can stay behind.

[Yong-woo cackles] My goodness!

You know, I... [vocalizing]...used to handle

over 30 of these cases a week
on my own back in the day. Yes, sir.

These law school kids
don't have the stamina like us.

They need to bring
back the bar exam. Jeez.

[comical music playing]

NAM KANG-HO IS GAY?

DID NAM KANG-HO GET OUTED?

NAM'S AGENCY STRONGLY DENIES

FAKE NEWS, JUST A RUMOR

NAM SWEPT UP IN GAY RUMOR

NAM'S GAY RUMOR SPREADS LIKE A WILDFIRE

NAUSEA AFTER KISSING

REPORTEDLY LONGTIME LOVERS

MOVIE PRODUCTION STOPS

Hey, why would you want
to eat at a brunch café?

Dude, I was really craving
for some good eggs Benedict, okay?

What can I say?
Do you know how to make it?

The underwear we bought, the blue one,

throw them out.

Hey.

That's one of my favorite pairs.

Get rid of yours.

I bought them.

Yours were free, so get rid of yours.

Oh, you cheapskate. Wow, honestly...

So this is where I can use the term,
you really are a cheap-ass bastard.

I'm so mad at the director.

How could he do this?
He wouldn't even hear what I had to say.

The investors were threatening
to pull out their funds,

so what do you think he could have done?

[sighs]

[intriguing music playing]

[Kang-ho exhales]

[Won-jun exhales]

[sighs]

Kang-ho, let's expose
your past relationship.

What?

About you and Se-na.
It's not gonna cause any big impact now.

It'll actually help with the promotion.

In her state,
I'd imagine she couldn't say no.

Do you have that serious look right now?

Well, you could just kiss
this movie goodbye then.

This is frustrating.

Let's meet up and talk. I'll come to you.

[Won-jun] Are you crazy?

Your place and my place
are the most dangerous right now.

- Let's meet at another place.
- Where at?

Your second house.

JEONGHA DETENTION CENTER

- It's good to see you, ma'am.
- [Mi-ran] It's for your troubles.

You want me to eat that right now?

[sighs]

There and over there. Eyes everywhere.

- [man] I'm sorry. Maybe go to the car.
- Do you want to grab a drink?

Oh, I'm sorry,
I have something urgent to attend to.

Ah. Nam Kang-ho?

[laughs]

That news made it
all the way into these cells.

This must be a headache for Won-jun.

I'd better not cause more trouble for him.

But then, if we don't cause trouble,

lawyers will be out of work, right?

[both laughing]

So, how are you going to make it right?

First, we'll put in some pressure
to have them say it wasn't true.

Who likes to hear retraction stories?
They're boring.

Bad gossips sell better than good deeds.

Strange news is
more fun than ordinary news.

When you were hired,
you signed an NDA, right?

Do you know why?

So you wouldn't be able to talk
to the public about these things.

Which story is more fun,
the good or the bad?

A drama must be countered with a drama.

Things will get tougher for him now.

Unless something more fun comes up.

[chuckles softly]

[upbeat music playing]

[knife chopping on board]

[gagging]

[coughing]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sniffles, exhales]

It's Hwang Ji-hye.

[sighs] My thoughts as well.

So I told Gilmu to take action.

What do you mean? It's just a hunch,
and we have no evidence.

[Won-jun] We've gotta do something.

You can't just take
all the punches sitting dow...

[intriguing music playing]

Is that a camera?

What's up with the cameras?
Were they here before?

Oh, I'm filming myself.

I wanna see how I look
in this kind of crappy situation.

Once my lifelong dream is taken away,
and I really wanna kill someone,

but I can't, I wanna use
that emotion in acting later.

Yeah, okay. Just like what you said,

if all these experiences
are somehow meaningful to an actor,

I think a dramatic experience
in your real life wouldn't be a bad idea.

Wha...

[intriguing music continues]

[Won-jun exhales]

Se-na sent this to me. Man,
she had this picture after all this time.

- So what?
- What's up with that attitude?

You and I were born in the same year,
but we're both very different people.

You were in grade nine. I was in ten.

We didn't graduate the same year.
You're a tiger, and I'm an ox. I'm older!

Hey, man, it's about time
you stop caring about formalities.

[duck quacks]

No wonder I'm still not a global star yet.

- What, global star?
- [sighs]

Man, that's acting, your thing.
It's not up to me that you...

[door opens]

- [door closes]
- Be calm. Be calm, okay?

If you still wanna be
in Director Yoo's movie,

you can't afford to mess this up.
All right?

Come in.

[emotional music playing]

I brought her here.

[scoffs] So you guys are friends then?

Did you stop by a drive-through
on your way over here?

We had corn dogs, okay? Huh?

You happy?

Hi there.

I'll tell them.

I think it is really unfair

for you to not be in a movie you wanted
because of this baseless rumor.

It's not a bad idea.

But no, thanks.

[slide whistle plays]

Anyway, thanks for your concern.
I guess we're done here.

[gasps]

[poignant music playing]

[Se-na sniffles]

[crying]

[Kang-ho exhales deeply]

Um...

I wish you wouldn't do that.

[Se-na crying]

I've missed you.

- [sobbing]
- [sighs deeply]

[Se-na] I really, really missed you
so much, Kang-ho.

- [Kang-ho grunts]
- [Se-na crying]

[Kang-ho sighs]

Look, I gave up on this a long time ago.

Don't be gross.
It's time to move on, okay?

- [crying softly]
- [phone ringing]

[sniffles]

Yeah, Kang-ho. What's up?
Are you done talking?

[phone line hangs up]

You guys came together,
you can leave together.

[groans] You're so stubborn.
Damn it... [splutters]

He told me that I needed
to stop being so gross. [sighs]

Oh, see? Why would you be
all gross and cry like that?

[baby crying]

He said that... he said that I'm gross?

[sobbing]

[gasping]

- What's all this?
- What do you think?

[gasps]

[somber music playing]

[liquid pouring]

[rain pattering]

[somber music continues]

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

[sighs]

[Kang-ho] I really wanna do this movie.

Shit. [groans]

[sniffles, crying]

[Won-jun] Didn't I tell you?

Kang-ho would be much harsher than me.

- [sobbing]
- [baby crying]

- [blows nose]
- [horn toots]

[exhales deeply]

[gasps]

Uh, are you sure those cameras
were all turned off?

[sniffles]

It's not going to get leaked?

[sniffles]

Look, even if those cameras were kept on,

you think he would leak it?

He didn't do anything in revenge
when you betrayed him and broke his heart.

He kept it all to himself
and suffered so much

that he developed
that illness that... [sighs]

- He got ill?
- I mean, it was extremely painful.

[baby toy squeaks]

You're right. I deserve
to be treated this way. [inhales]

Serves me right. [sniffles]

But I'm glad
that you're over that whole thing now.

- [sniffles]
- [baby cries]

Pardon me?

[baby laughing]

[phone ringing]

REPORTER PARK

[sighs deeply]

[phone continues ringing]

[phone beeps]

Oh, wow, Mr. Park, how are you?
Yeah, it's been a while.

Mr. Do, you must be stressed right now.

Yeah, well...

You know, it's not true at all.

Yeah, it'll pass soon, believe me.

Of course, I know it will.

I have a scoop on Mr. Nam's love story.

- Along with solid evidence.
- What?

[Park] Let's meet first and talk.
Where are you?

- Yes, right now I'm...
- [ominous music playing]

- I'm outside the city.
- Then call me once you return.

- Yes... Hey. Hold on. [splutters]
- [phone line beeping]

- What is this?
- It's not me. [hesitates]

I looked all over for photos,
and that one was all I found.

- [Won-jun sighs]
- Do you think someone else tipped him off?

Who else would know about you two
from the theater company days?

- There is none.
- [sighs deeply]

Anyhow, if that reporter
wants to break the story,

please make this clear to Kang-ho.

It's not me.

[Won-jun inhales sharply]

- [chiming]
- [groans]

[indistinct chattering over tablet]

[Jin-suh] Looking at the facts,
Mr. Do has to be right.

I had a feeling about Hwang Ji-hye.
I knew she would cause trouble for us.

[sighs deeply] Then the first thing,
we'll pressure the informant.

All right. Let's go fishing.

How do we get her on the hook though?

You just gotta wait
till the fish takes the bait.

[woman] Not even Mr. Nam was complaining

about being put up
in a small tourist hotel,

but Ms. Hwang Ji-hye
insisted staying at a five-star hotel.

The show already cost so much to produce,

and she made so much fuss
about sponsored items.

It was a scene
where she had to put on makeup,

but she refused 'cause she thought
she might get a makeup ad offer.

[man] I heard Hwang Ji-hye used profanity

on a crew member who was older
and more experienced than her.

[sighs deeply]

I'm telling you,
that thing with Mr. Nam wasn't us.

Well, the show is still playing on TV.
What would we even do this for?

[Jin-suh] Of course.

Mr. Nam felt bad that the rumor came out
while the show is airing.

We can't let this recording
about Ms. Hwang Ji-hye

get leaked out there.
We have to make sure.

- Are you blackmailing us?
- Uh...

It's not me!

Mr. Yoon, I didn't do it. I'm serious.

Goodness. Did someone accuse you?

[whistle blows]

We were suspecting that it was Mr. Yoon.

Me?

It seems like Ms. Hwang clearly knows
that Mr. Yoon didn't do this.

I mean... I was just... [hesitates]

- [baby crying]
- [crying] I'm sorry!

You're crazy. Are you a moron?
Why are you admitting it?

- [grunts] I should just... [hisses]
- [sobbing]

We looked into a few more things,
and it seems you've made other claims.

- Is that right?
- What?

[Ji-hye continues crying]

Unpaid wages and abuse.
I'm here to inform you

all of your assets will be frozen
if you're sued or if someone reports you.

[splutters]

I do hope you'll be able to clean up
your own mess in a prompt manner.

Are you new? I don't think
I've seen your face before.

Ah, I see...

Let me clear that for you.

SHIN NA-EUN

Na-eun.

[gasps]

Oh! [splutters] Sorry about that.

- Please give me another one.
- Would you like the same drink?

Okay!

[liquid pouring]

More. More. More. More.
More! More, more, more, more!

Stop! Okay. Okay.

[chuckles]

[intriguing music playing]

Ah!

Ooh, sour.

Yeah, it's sour. Shin... Shin Na-eun.

You have a pretty face, pretty name too.

[chuckles] Thank you so much.

If he touched me,
I could have reported him for harassment.

Luckily, he didn't.

If there's a crash, we should just...
[whispers]...let him go down.

I don't know if he deserves
to die for it. I mean...

Na-eun!

Hey, it's you!

[laughs]

You're so fine.

Hey, look. It's a phone, hmm?

If you give me your number,

I'll give you a good review.
Cheese! Cheese!

[chuckles uncomfortably] Is that funny?

[quietly] Hey, keep walking. Go.

- Give me your number! Your number!
- He goes down with the plane. Let him die.

[Na-eun] Damn it.

TRANSFER PAGE
AMOUNT: 181,818

- [sighs]
- [Mi-ran] Another rage transfer?

[intriguing music playing]

If this had happened at a bar or a club,
I wouldn't be this upset.

Hmm! I'd be like,
"I guess I'm pretty." Know what I mean?

Even at a club, if they talked
to you like that, you'd be upset.

I guess so.

But usually, in those places, guys
mentally prepare themselves for rejection.

But in my situation, I have to risk my job

if I were to raise
my voice at him. [sighs]

You should have taken a selfie with him,

just in case he rolls up
in front of me someday.

And he wasn't even good-looking.
[shudders] I can't imagine it.

[exhales deeply]

[sighs] You must have fun working
with the cute Nam Kang-ho then.

Do you work for fun?

I would find it more fun to fly
with cute stars on board.

[intriguing music continues]

[utensil clatters]

- Why don't we go blow off some steam?
- Where?

Only guys could fix a guy problem.

- Let's go!
- Do you think maybe your logic is broken?

[electronic dance music playing]

Wow, it's not a bad night, huh?
Starting to feel better now?

[laughs] Why did you take me here?

I'm too old to waste time
with guys that only have good looks.

Oh, jeez. No one's saying
you need to date anyone.

Enjoy your night with some handsome guys.

Okay!

- [crowd cheering]
- [electronic dance music continues]

[Mi-ran] I wanted to rule over
all men who desired me.

The lighter they treated me,
the harder I punished them.

Did I have a heart-fluttering romance?

[electronic dance music continues]

[man from plane] Hey! Shin Na-eun!

Whoo! [laughing] Hey, wow!

- I can't believe it.
- Hey, you need me?

Huh? [shrieks]

[laughing] A pretty girl
next to another pretty girl!

- [laughing]
- He's the one from the plane today.

[moans] Oh, I'm sorry
if I offended you earlier.

Guys usually bother and tease pretty girls

in order to get their attention,
you know what I mean? [laughs]

So then, is this you apologizing?

He isn't. He wants us to hang out
with him. He's being obnoxious.

Oh, come on. Come join me.

Look, I brought back
something fun from America.

- Something fun, huh?
- Yeah, something super fun for us!

[laughing]

[chuckles] What could that be?
I'm really curious.

Mi-ran!

Hang on. I wanna check something.

Whoo! [laughs]

Come in, come in, come in.

Na-eun, come in. Come over here!

[group cheering]

Move!

[group continues cheering]

Stay glued to me.
Don't eat or drink, not even water.

Hey, what are you doing?
Here's your drink. And yours.

Let's drink!

[group cheering]

Bottoms up! [laughing]

[splutters]

[intriguing music playing]

What do you think? Solid evidence, right?

Wait a sec. It looks like you didn't know.

You know who the woman is?

To be honest, we weren't paying attention
to Mr. Nam Kang-ho.

We've chased him for years,
but there wasn't anything.

Then someone sent us these photos.

At first, I suspected
they might be edited, but they're real.

So we bought them.
And they weren't cheap either.

[exhales]

[inhales sharply] Yeah, this is a problem.

You've obviously spent
so much money on this.

I don't think
you could simply cover this up

just because I asked you
to keep this story under wraps.

I don't know what to do with this.

Oh, you want this covered up?
I could help you with that.

Huh?

If you check the date,
it was before the gay scandal.

Therefore, it'll prove that this
wasn't staged, clearing the rumor.

Then you can clear his name

and humiliate those jerks
who almost ruined him.

It's a win-win.

[Won-jun] So you're asking for money.

Oh man.

Wow, I've spent money
on covering up scandals, but this is...

It's not like Mr. Nam committed a crime.

Although it would take years
for a gay rumor to die down.

Has there been a gay actor in Korea?
I wonder if they can stay in the business.

No, come on, Mr. Park. Wait up.
Why are you in such a hurry?

I'm in the middle of processing
what it is that you're telling me.

And I was just thinking really hard on it.

I was thinking how much
I should compensate you.

So I was just thinking

if we should discuss more
about those things.

- You know what I'm talking about. [laughs]
- [cash register rings]

[siren blaring]

[electronic dance music playing on phone]

[electronic dance music continues]

[scoffs]

[laughing]

That keeps the smell from leaking out.

[laughing hysterically]

Man, this is so much fun! [laughing]

[group laughing]

They're on their way, so let's go.
Act natural, 'kay?

- Mmm.
- Shall we go dance?

- Sure, yeah.
- [both laughing]

Where the fuck are you going?

- [ominous note plays]
- Hey!

Hey, what the fuck is wrong
with you weird bitches anyway?

- You're here for fun, but you don't drink.
- Yeah, we did.

- We just drank two shots straight.
- [Na-eun grunts]

[sighs]

So try it with me.

[sighs nervously]

Oh, no, really, it's okay.

We have to use the ladies' room.

Damn it! Just try it once!

This is less dangerous than alcohol.
[laughs hysterically]

Try it. Just try this once.

Fuck! I'm telling you it's really fun!

- I don't want to.
- Oh...

- Oh, fucking hell!
- [yelps]

You're so fucking boring,
you ugly bitches. [grunts]

[upbeat rhythmic music playing]

[group clamoring]

- Hey!
- [shouts]

[screams]

[grunts, screaming]

[screaming]

[shouting]

[Mi-ran shouting indistinctly]

[upbeat rhythmic music continues]

[man] Ah, no!

- [Mi-ran grunts]
- [man groans]

Hey! [groans]

[both grunting]

- [grunts]
- [groans]

Na-eun, let's go.

- Yes, ma'am.
- Where are you going?

[screams] Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!

[screaming]

- [grunts]
- [groans]

[both grunt]

[Mi-ran] Hey!

[groaning]

[whimpering]

[breathes heavily] What was that?
Who you calling ugly, huh?

Huh? How are we ugly?
Are you stupid and blind?

- [exhales deeply]
- [man whimpers]

Oh! Hi, detective.

[man] Waiter!

Please dial 911!

[breathing heavily]

It hurts so much.

Shit.

You'll have to pay
a lot for our compensation.

You'd better be ready!

- Hello!
- Hey!

- Shut up!
- [dog whimpers]

Gosh, I should have broken his jaw
so he couldn't talk.

Hey, why would you have to pay?
You got these junkies arrested.

The law is stringent like that.
It doesn't work the way we want.

And yet you still beat them up?

[smacks lips] How much
would that be anyway?

I didn't break their bones,
so at most, four weeks?

Four weeks is four million.

That's the going rate.
He'll demand more. Unreasonably.

You're unreasonable.

How can you be a lawyer
when you rely on violence like a criminal?

Hmm.

Gosh, it's all my fault.
I knew you'd be upset.

I never should have told you.
[clicks tongue]

- You're released.
- [chuckles]

- [gasps]
- [detective] You can stay.

What?

Uh, no.

[siren blaring]

If we need your statements,
we'll give you a call.

- Sure, anytime. Have a good night.
- Thanks. You too.

- Hmm. So this is it?
- [Mi-ran sighs]

There's no reward?

That's only if they arrest the sellers,
not those in possession.

[scoffs]

With the rent and treatment costs,

don't mess up at work.

Oh! When's Nam Kang-ho paying
for that part-time work?

Oh.

I got fired.

Didn't you do one session?

Yeah.

You were fired after just one session?

Yeah.

[scoffs]

Did you beat him up like those guys?
Huh? Tore him apart?

No. [chuckles] That's not why I got fired.

Then why?

What could be worse than that?

[intriguing music playing]

I just thought...
he was really self-centered.

Okay, and...

I called him a jerk.

You called your client a jerk?

- To his face?
- Mm-hmm.

[gasps]

[sighs deeply]

I was crazy to say that to a client.

Even if he wasn't your client,

how can you be so rude
and say that to anyone?

You're right. I made a mistake.

Well, this is a first. You're admitting
you're wrong before a man does.

I didn't tell him I'm sorry yet.

[gasps]

Oh, that's right. I haven't apologized.

[sighs deeply]

[Kang-ho] What now?

[upbeat music playing]

The person who crossed the line this time,
it... wasn't the lawyer, was it?

Even if the lawyer was
the one who first seduced you,

this shows you were doing it
at your own will.

Where did you get these?

Who's the reporter? How much? I'll pay.

- You didn't have an attack?
- [sighs]

- It was all good?
- Yeah.

[ethereal chiming]

- I don't know how.
- Huh?

[gasps]

[ethereal music playing]

[anxiously] So then what?

What happened with you two? Tell me.

That was it. It's nothing.

- Why?
- What do you mean, why?

Why... why stop at first base?
You should have kept going.

You said that she liked you too.

[sighs]

She doesn't like me, okay?

[ethereal music slows to a halt]

[thunder rumbling]

Huh?

Wasn't she your fan?

Is every fan supposed to want to date me?

What? Why are you overreacting?

She rejected you?

[intriguing music playing]

Hey, did she reject you and...

You fired her 'cause you were angry?

[breathing heavily, grunting]

- [glass breaks]
- [winces]

[phone ringing]

[breathing heavily]

ATTORNEY YEO MI-RAN

[sighs, groans]

[phone continues ringing]

Hey.

I sincerely apologize.

I'm really sorry.

I'm also sorry. I've offended you.

I ruined your birthday. I'm very sorry.

[Mi-ran chuckles] Oh, no.

I'm the one
who made you misunderstand things.

I also made a mistake with you.

[intriguing music playing]

MISTAKE

Yes, it was. I was overreacting
when I called that fan service.

FAN SERVICE

- Oh, I almost forgot.
- [sighs]

I'll deposit your pay
for the part-time work.

Oh, okay. Thanks for your time.

I know you have a lot going on.

What do you mean? Um, the things
they say about me, it's not true.

Oh! Yeah, sure. [chuckles] Of course.

All right, then...

[Mi-ran] Bye.

[phone line beeps]

What's that about? Seriously.

- Does she have a boyfriend?
- [yelps] You scared me! Jesus Christ!

Can I have some privacy, please?

Okay, so... she rejected you
'cause she has a boyfriend?

I'm sure you're not gay.
Not with that kind of fan service.

[chuckles]

It's a tough job being a top star.

[phone ringing]

Hi, good morning.

[intriguing music playing]

CEO DO WON-JUN
J BAR

For members only?

Why did you want to see me here?

First, we should have a drink.

Cheers.

Oh! Oh, yeah.

[glasses clink]

[both slurping]

[inhales] I heard that Kang-ho

has made a mistake in front of you.

[intriguing music playing]

Was there an issue?

I'm saying this
so that we can be on the same page.

It seemed to me
that you really liked Kang-ho.

Probably why he did that
without thinking he'd be rejected.

- Isn't that true?
- What did he do?

I don't know how to put it.
[inhales sharply]

Like a gesture that shows... he likes you?

Mr. Nam Kang-ho said he likes me?

What, he did that without telling you
he liked you? What an asshole.

Wait, he said that he told me
he likes me, and I rejected him?

You didn't reject him?

Were you playing hard to get or something?

No way. I'm not that kind of person.

Ah...

[sighs]

[inhales sharply]

Are you disappointed right now?

Yeah. I really wish
that you could be a happy couple.

[sighs] I just hate
to see you guys like this.

[upbeat music playing]

- But you said you didn't trust me though.
- What?

I heard it all, on the speakerphone.

Uh... Oh, back then, there was
a misunderstanding on my part.

I'm sorry.

Mmm. So tell me then,
has it been resolved?

Since nothing's been done to clear it.

[exhales deeply]

- [gasps]
- [ominous music playing]

Okay, if you look at this,

well, it does appear
that Kang-ho made the move here, right?

Who... who took this photo?

An anonymous informant.

I got this copy from a reporter I know.

[sighs] Has this already gotten out?

Probably.

This is insane.

We can take legal action.
You want me to block it?

I don't. Could you just...
admit to everything, maybe?

Kang-ho's... lover.

[gasps]

[exhales slowly]

[crow cawing]

[Ji-hye crying] Oh, why can't you say it?

Just say, "It turns out
the informant was incorrect."

- [baby crying]
- Why can't you just go ahead and say it?

[sobbing]

[groans] Oh gosh. You can't just take back
something you gave us.

That's why you should have been
more prudent about things.

Listen to me right now.

Whether it's fake or not,
we run with it, okay?

And you do know that we live and die
by our credibility, right?

- [snaps fingers]
- [Ji-hye crying] What did you say?

- Hello? Hello?
- What?

NAM KANG-HO'S LATE-NIGHT DATE, WITH WHO?

That's why I told you
not to break stories without checking!

Ah, shit, Hwang Ji-hye.

[flashbulb pops]

NAM KANG-HO HAS A SECRET GIRLFRIEND!

NAM ADMITS IT?
AGENCY KEEPS MUM

WHO IS IT IN THE PHOTO? A CELEBRITY?

GIRLFRIEND, NOT A CELEBRITY

[both cheering]

I knew he wasn't gay!

Wow, I knew he wasn't, but then... Huh?

He's with her?

Huh?

Where have I seen her?

I've seen her before.

[sighs] Where did I see this chick?

[dinging]

[comical exclamation]

Ah!

NAM'S GIRLFRIEND
PRESUMED NONCELEBRITY

[poignant music playing]

[cat meows]

[bell rings]

So could it be true,
that someone's watching us?

- Maybe.
- Then we should put on a show.

[chiming]

[Kang-ho gasps]

[upbeat pop music playing]

Your seat belt.

Uh...

My seat belt.

[clears throat]

[engine revs]

- [tires squealing]
- [upbeat pop music continues]
