00:00This can't be real. I'll miss you, New York. Goodbye.
00:05Everything in the city feels unfamiliar. Will Seoul open up a new chapter for me?
00:11There's no place like Seoul to start over.
00:14Nice to meet you.
00:17There's someone that I like.
00:19I've had enough of your shit!
00:21Are you suspecting me right now?
00:23Then prove to me that it wasn't you! Is that what your cheap mother taught you, you pathetic scum?
00:27Lisa! I love you, Lisa. Please!
00:29Dad!
00:30I'm pregnant. It's your baby.
00:33I've dreamt of this moment ever since I first saw you.
00:37Still can't admit it's your fault.
00:39Please, Patrick, help me.
00:41Mia!
00:50Wow, Megan. This campaign is fantastic.
00:53Our clients are going to love it.
00:55Thank you. Glad those all-nighters paid off.
00:58In that case, Megan, why don't you take on the royal project too?
01:03But ma'am, that was my project.
01:05You expect me to give you another project after that sloppy presentation?
01:10I had to rush it because I lost my USB.
01:13Keeping track of your work is part of the job. You understand?
01:17Yes. I'm sorry.
01:19I worked on that project for months, Megan!
01:22And you just stole my USB and passed it off as your own!
01:25Really? So you think it was me?
01:27Oh, wait. Is it in yours?
01:30Why was it there?
01:33Framing your friend as a thief? Shame on you, Mia.
01:55So, how'd you end up landing the project?
01:58Easy. I just took it.
02:01It was right down Mia's desk, so I snagged it.
02:04Why is my boyfriend with Megan? This can't be real.
02:07Risky move, I gotta say.
02:10I like this daring side of you.
02:12Really? Do you want to come to my place tonight?
02:17Nah. Let's go to my place.
02:20Mia's busy tonight. She won't be calling.
02:26Fuck you!
02:34Mia, how's everything? You should come to see me in Seoul sometime.
02:41What's up?
02:42I'm texting my friend in New York.
02:44Mia Carl, right? The friend from college that you showed me last time.
02:48Wow. You have a pretty good memory.
02:51Yeah.
02:52You have a pretty good memory.
02:54Yeah. When it comes to beautiful women.
02:56I haven't reached out to her in a while, but she's not texting me back.
03:00I hope she's doing fine.
03:03Looks like she replied. What does it say?
03:08Anna, how are you? I've been thinking about you too.
03:12I wish I could fly to Seoul right now.
03:15I think she might actually come.
03:17Really?
03:18Yeah.
03:20I always have room available for ladies. Please, Mia.
03:25How's work these days?
03:27I'm burned out. I just had the worst day in my life.
03:31Ever thought about finding a new job?
03:33Our company is looking for someone experienced in filming.
03:36I'll reach out if you're interested.
03:38I'll think about it.
03:41Creed is a global ad agency. Can I really fit in there?
03:45Why am I hesitating? My company spat me out like gum and my friend cheated on me with my boyfriend.
03:56Until when do you have to keep dating in secret?
03:59You're the only thing that I want, babe.
04:02What I want is to grow my company and earn recognition.
04:06You know that too.
04:08All you ever care about is work.
04:10I'm so done with this. I'm going back in.
04:16I love you.
04:30What's this? You're quitting?
04:32Yeah, I'm out of here.
04:34Why? Is it because of what I said the day before the conference?
04:37I worked like a dog and my project was just handed over to a bitch who stole my work.
04:41I'm too good for this shithole.
04:43Oh, so now I'm stealing from you?
04:46You're unbelievable, Mia.
04:48Accusing your friend? Without proof?
04:51This isn't right, Mia.
04:53Proof?
04:55Oh, I've got proof.
04:57So, how'd you end up planning the project?
05:00Easy. I just took it.
05:02It was right down Mia's desk, so I snagged it.
05:05I gotta say, I like the staring fight of you.
05:08Really? Do you want to come to my place tonight?
05:12My place? Mia's busy tonight.
05:14Mia, it's not what it sounds like.
05:17Megan was drunk. She made the first move.
05:20That's bullshit. You invited me over first.
05:23Please, Mia. You're all I have.
05:26You two deserve each other.
05:36I don't know if I'll ever come back, but I'll miss you, New York.
05:41Goodbye.
05:53Thanks. You literally saved my day.
05:55My pleasure. Are you going somewhere?
05:57You have some heavy luggage here.
05:59Yeah, I'm going on a long trip.
06:02Okay, well, I hope you leave the bad memories behind
06:05and take only the good ones with you.
06:07See you then.
06:08Thanks.
06:17No way!
06:18I wasn't expecting to see you again.
06:20What a crazy coincidence.
06:22Why does this feel like it's more than just a coincidence?
06:25Don't tell me you're flying here, right?
06:27Yeah, I am.
06:30Cheers.
06:36So, Patrick, what do you do?
06:38What do you think? Try guessing.
06:40You're pretty fit. Maybe you're an athlete?
06:44I'm a tour guide. I've been to a few trips to New York,
06:47but I was lucky enough this time to meet a beautiful woman.
06:51A life where you can travel freely. I envy you.
06:55What about you, Mia?
06:56I work in the advertisement industry.
06:58Wow, that's impressive.
06:59You have a job that demands a lot of creativity.
07:02I'm burned out, though. Kind of lost my passion.
07:05So I'm looking to start fresh.
07:07There's no place like Seoul to start over.
07:09Have you started to look for a job yet?
07:11Yeah, I'm going to interview for a position at Creed.
07:14It's an ad agency.
07:15Creed? I have a friend who works there.
07:18I heard that the CEO is a complete asshole.
07:23But Creed is a top-tier agency.
07:26I heard the CEO has a great eye
07:28and plays a big part in creating sensational ads.
07:31No, that's old news.
07:33The CEO has such a nasty temper that all the talented people left.
07:36I can introduce you to a better place if you want.
07:38Thanks, but I'll pass. It might just be malicious gossip.
07:41I'd rather find out for myself.
07:43Who knows? Maybe he's a good person.
07:45It's a shame that such a nice girl will work under a boss like that.
07:51Sir, check-in for your flight will begin soon.
07:56It's time to catch a flight now.
07:57Sounds good. Shall we?
08:04Everything in the city feels unfamiliar.
08:07Will Seoul open up a new chapter for me?
08:09Or will it just leave me with another scar?
08:12I'm both excited and scared,
08:14but I'll be the one who decides how this ends.
08:20I'm finally here.
08:25Hey, Anna. I'm here.
08:29You mean today?
08:34I thought you were busy.
08:35The talented newcomer is fresh off the boat.
08:37I think we've created a great synergy together.
08:40I know what's going on.
08:42You're going to ask her to work with you so that you can hit on her.
08:45Anna, you really know me too well.
08:50What about you?
08:52Oh, over here.
08:54Come on.
08:56Yeah?
08:57Good to see you both.
08:58Come on, both of you.
09:01Long time no see.
09:04Why does she call that a rude joke?
09:05That really shouldn't let you say that.
09:07You're pulling down the average here.
09:09Shut up. Just ignore this rude joke.
09:11Mia, nice to meet you.
09:16You guys seem very close.
09:18Quit messing around.
09:19How are you, Mia?
09:20How are you, Mia?
09:24Wow, I can't believe I'm sitting here with a celebrity from a TV show.
09:28Watching it again makes me cringe.
09:30You definitely should.
09:32Your bad acting there was legendary.
09:34You should thank your fans for putting up with it.
09:36Shut up.
09:37I would actually love to see your photography too.
09:39Well, the theme of my work is eternal love.
09:41I capture special moments between lovers from my perspective.
09:44Oh, it's so beautiful.
09:46Do you even believe in eternal love?
09:48Maybe, I guess.
09:49If a man can't say so.
09:51What?
09:52Is this the person who likes to steal other people's girlfriends?
09:54When did I ever?
09:55I'm going to sue you for spreading false rumors.
09:58Go on and sue me then.
10:00We'll settle it right here.
10:01Bring it on.
10:02Guys, stop it.
10:03That's enough.
10:04Why do you guys have to fight all the time?
10:07Yes.
10:10I'll be right there.
10:12Sorry, guys.
10:13I gotta run.
10:14Bye, Mia.
10:15Next time, I hope the two of us can meet somewhere nice and quiet.
10:18See you next time.
10:22We should teach other girls to Mia.
10:26Make sure you get on home safely, Jimmy.
10:28Gotcha.
10:29Today I'm very much alright.
10:30Yeah.
10:37I can't believe Aaron still thinks I stole his girlfriend.
10:40You don't seem like that type of guy.
10:42She came to me first, asking for help.
10:45Be careful with Aaron.
10:46You don't want to be with him alone.
10:53I am...
10:54I'm the kind of person who gets things done no matter how bad the situation is.
11:13This is just great.
11:16Mia Carter?
11:17I'm Jay Ken, the CEO.
11:20Yes, good afternoon.
11:22You came to an interview looking like this?
11:24Yes, I just spilled some water.
11:27Careless already, huh?
11:29Those who aren't well prepared don't belong here, Creed.
11:36Medici's New York office.
11:37I'll say that you look good on paper.
11:40We mainly handle advertising campaigns for major corporations in the electronics industry.
11:44Security is critical when launching new products.
11:47Do you think you're suited for this job?
11:49I did make a mistake in the past, but I reflected on it a lot.
11:52It won't happen again.
11:54Your honesty could put you at a disadvantage in this interview.
11:57Yes, I know.
11:58But I don't want to lie.
11:59Interesting.
12:01Come closer.
12:03Excuse me?
12:04I said come closer.
12:06You mean here?
12:07No, here.
12:08In front of me.
12:09In front of me.
12:13You mean here.
12:15So what do you say?
12:16Excuse me? I don't understand.
12:19Do I look like a terrible boss who made my employees run away?
12:22What do you mean?
12:24Wait.
12:26You said that you'd see for yourself if the rumors were true.
12:28Wait, were you at the VIP lounge at the airport?
12:31Am I as bad as the rumors say?
12:39Jay!
12:41Jay! What on earth are you doing?
12:45In broad daylight.
12:46What kind of nonsense is this?
12:48Calm down. I was in the middle of an interview.
12:50Weren't you hurt?
12:52Yes, I'm okay.
12:53I'm very sorry.
12:55Hey, I deserve an apology too.
12:58Why would I apologize to you?
13:00Do you have any idea who I am?
13:02No.
13:04Watch your tone.
13:05I'm Jay's fiancée.
13:06You think I wouldn't be mad seeing you messing on the floor with someone like you?
13:10Look, I'm the one who fell and I caused trouble to Jay.
13:14Gina, do something with that temper of yours.
13:16You're overreacting.
13:17But...
13:18Jay!
13:19That's enough.
13:20Wait for me downstairs.
13:22This isn't over.
13:23Apologize.
13:24Right now.
13:25Do you know how rich and powerful I am?
13:27One word from me and you're fired.
13:30Keep barking, you little chihuahua bitch.
13:33What? Bitch?
13:36Are you crazy?
13:37I've had enough of your shit.
13:43What are you two doing?
13:49Well done.
13:50It would have healed on its own anyways.
13:52I don't want a beautiful face to get scarred.
13:54Whenever you need help, I'm here.
13:57But what were you doing at Creed?
13:59I was here for my meeting.
14:01Why did you fly with Gina on the elevator?
14:03Well, I was there for an interview and then I tripped and Jay caught me and...
14:08And Gina blew up.
14:09How did you know? Do you know her well?
14:11I mean, she's a pretty famous actress here.
14:14Anyways, I called her a chihuahua bitch and then, you know, she slapped me.
14:18A chihuahua?
14:19I left everything I had just to start over but I think I screwed up already.
14:23You're doing fine, Mia.
14:27Don't worry.
14:28Everything's going to be fine.
14:34Bye.
14:39Mia, do you have time today?
14:41Time is the only thing an unemployed person has.
14:44Let's go do something fun to cheer up.
14:46Yeah, I'm still at the office.
14:48Guess what?
14:49Jamin just disappeared with that woman.
14:51I know.
14:52How did you know?
14:53What's going on between you and that...
14:55I'll be there soon.
15:04Okay.
15:07This is one of the trendiest restaurants in Seoul right now.
15:10It looks so delicious.
15:12I don't feel down anymore thanks to you.
15:14Hey, Jamin!
15:16How is Gina doing?
15:18Your sister's acting's on point these days.
15:22Why don't the three of us meet up for coffee sometime?
15:26I'll stop by the salon next time.
15:29Gina?
15:30Was that woman your sister?
15:33Wait, Mia. Let me explain.
15:35I thought it wasn't the right time.
15:37You lied to me?
15:38Why would you do that?
15:45Come in.
15:48Good morning, Mr. Kim.
15:50I'm Mia Carter.
15:51So how's your work so far?
15:52It's great.
15:53My co-workers help me a lot.
15:55You think they're helping you?
15:57Excuse me?
15:58They may look friendly,
15:59but deep down they all see you as a competitor
16:01who's here to take their place.
16:03And besides, you're a foreigner too.
16:05I understand.
16:07Survive and prove yourself.
16:09Only your skills can protect you.
16:11I'll keep that in mind.
16:13We've got a big pitch coming up.
16:15This company has worked with Medici for a while,
16:17so I thought you were the right person for this job.
16:19I'm confident about this project.
16:21Good.
16:22Since we're on a tight deadline,
16:23we'll be working late for quite some time.
16:25But is it just the two of us?
16:27Yes.
16:28Why?
16:29Is there a problem?
16:30No, not at all.
16:32Being alone with him makes me a bit nervous.
16:35Can you pass me the consumer research files?
16:37Sure.
16:42Are you okay?
16:43I'm so sorry.
16:44Mia, you're trembling.
16:49Are you nervous?
16:50What?
16:51Me?
16:52I was wondering if you felt uncomfortable
16:54about being alone with me.
16:56Everyone seems to feel that way.
16:58No, it's not that.
16:59I'm just hungry.
17:01Oh, you're hungry.
17:04Thank you for the food.
17:05It's so delicious.
17:07By the way, aren't you eating?
17:09I don't eat when I work at night.
17:11Don't bother.
17:12Wouldn't coffee this late keep you up all night?
17:14I have insomnia.
17:15Even without coffee,
17:16I haven't slept well since I was young.
17:18Why?
17:19I'm always anxious.
17:21On the rare occasion I do fall asleep,
17:23I get nightmares.
17:25I was born out of wedlock.
17:26Everyone treated me like I was invisible
17:28after my mother passed away.
17:30I was always desperate not to feel abandoned.
17:32My brother gave me a hell of a time, too.
17:34So all I could do was to grow this company
17:36and prove myself to my father.
17:38I thought you were born with everything,
17:40but I guess you worked your way up here.
17:43I'm glad you see it that way.
17:44I'll be counting on you with this project.
17:49It's a tool that will change our lives.
17:51You'll need more than just fancy words
17:53to convince someone.
17:54People want to feel connected.
17:56I wish there were visuals to clarify your point.
18:00Got it.
18:10Mia, are the sources I asked for ready?
18:13Mia.
18:16Mia, I think you should call it a day.
18:18I must be a terrible boss.
18:20Don't worry, I got this.
18:23Oh, please.
18:31Believe me, Andrew.
18:34How could you do this to me?
18:36How could you do this to me?
18:42Hey, Aaron!
18:43Mia, thanks so much for coming.
18:45Congratulations on opening your new studio.
18:47I wish Anna could have come, too.
18:49But I'm glad you're here alone.
18:52Ah, here.
18:53I brought some wine.
18:54I didn't want to come empty-handed.
18:56Wine and alcohol can never go wrong.
18:58Is this New York?
19:00I took this right after I moved to New York from Chicago.
19:02Love sparks like wildfire in New York.
19:04Yeah, only to turn into ashes.
19:07Did you have one of those moments, too?
19:09Yes, I watched love fade away in front of my own eyes.
19:12That's why I ran away and came to Seoul.
19:15Same here.
19:16I took this photo hoping these two lovers
19:17wouldn't meet the same fate.
19:19How romantic.
19:20This really reminds me of the good memories that I had.
19:23Why don't we talk about those memories later on?
19:25I'm sure we'll have a great conversation.
19:27Sure, why not?
19:31He was comforting my co-worker
19:33because she was arguing with her boyfriend
19:35and then they hooked up.
19:37That's a lame excuse.
19:39I know, right?
19:40It's like they only care about themselves.
19:42Cheaters are all the same.
19:44They may be in love now,
19:45but I bet they will repeat again.
19:47Agreed.
19:48It's a habit.
19:49Were you cheated on, too?
19:51My girlfriend left me for someone else.
19:53I loved her a lot.
19:54I see.
19:55It's hard to see love fade away.
19:56I guess you and I share the same pain.
19:58From the very first moment I saw you,
20:00I knew we'd have something in common.
20:02And I was right.
20:03Aaron...
20:07I don't think...
20:08I think I'm in love with you.
20:11I love you.
20:17She looks so much like me.
20:19Be careful with this, Aaron.
20:20You don't want to be beaten along.
20:22I'm sorry, I should go.
20:23Sure.
20:24Sorry, I've had so much to drink.
20:26I should go.
20:31I made the revisions that you...
20:32You son of a bastard!
20:35What brings you here this early in the morning?
20:37See it with your own damn eyes.
20:40How could you possibly disgrace my family?
20:44I didn't.
20:45You get horny for an actress,
20:47fly overseas to do this kind of crap,
20:49and you think that's not a disgrace?
20:51Is that what your cheap mother taught you,
20:53you pathetic scum?
20:54Excuse me?
20:56You've gone too far.
20:57What is this?
20:59How dare you...
21:00Stop it, Matthew!
21:03I'm warning you.
21:04Watch yourself, you hear me?
21:08Mr. Kim, are you okay?
21:12How much did you get paid for this?
21:20Excuse me?
21:21Are you suspecting me right now?
21:23Then prove to me that it wasn't you!
21:28You really think it was me
21:29just because I was there that day?
21:31That was my home!
21:32You want me to believe that this photo
21:33was taken by coincidence?
21:35Look, it wasn't me.
21:36I just found out about this article myself.
21:38Did you join Creed by coincidence too?
21:41Really? You think it was me?
21:43Who else could it be?
21:44Is it a little too strange
21:45that this article came out
21:46right after you started working here, no?
21:48Look, you're not going to believe me
21:49no matter what I say.
21:50I never trust anyone.
21:52Just leave.
21:58This is Creed's third quarter projection.
22:02We're going to lose this out to our competitors
22:04with this kind of plan.
22:05You'll need to do better.
22:06Okay, I will.
22:15Why Mia?
22:16I was thinking about you too.
22:18How are you?
22:19Patrick, I thought I had to call you.
22:21Is something wrong?
22:22Where are you?
22:26So, how's your life been in Seoul so far?
22:28Not easy, but I guess I'll get used to it.
22:31It's been fun though.
22:32I'm glad to hear that.
22:33I haven't heard from you in a while though,
22:35so I was thinking about reaching out to you.
22:38Sorry.
22:39I don't know how you felt,
22:40but I kept thinking about you.
22:43I really miss our time together at the lounge.
22:47Oh, I've been really busy with work
22:50and I've been really stressed because of it too.
22:54How's the CEO?
22:55Were the rumors true?
22:57Not really.
22:58He's much nicer in person than you would think.
23:00Really?
23:01Everybody says he's an asshole.
23:03Do you like him by any chance?
23:05No.
23:06He's totally out of my league.
23:08And he is dating someone.
23:10Okay then.
23:11Do you have any plans for tonight, Mia?
23:13A friend of mine is throwing a party.
23:15Sure, let's go.
23:18Mia, do you know how much Patrick talks about you?
23:21I think he's totally into you.
23:22Stop getting the vibe, you guys.
23:24Just enjoy the night, Mia.
23:25Sure.
23:27You always do that, Mia.
23:29You still do.
23:31Thanks, Patrick. You're a good friend.
23:34Oh, I need another drink.
23:39Drink this, Mia.
23:40Thanks.
23:52Something's wrong.
23:53Why am I so dizzy?
24:00Is there anyone?
24:02Patrick?
24:05You okay, babe?
24:06Mr. Kim.
24:07Is that you?
24:09You look like you can use some air.
24:11Let's take a walk.
24:12Who are you?
24:14Let's go, let's go.
24:18Turn right this way.
24:19Okay, okay, okay.
24:21Wait.
24:22That's Mia.
24:23Mia?
24:24Is it someone you know?
24:26Hold on.
24:27I have a bad feeling about this.
24:28What's wrong? What's happening?
24:29I need to check.
24:30Hey, Jimmy, wait.
24:32Hey, what's going on here?
24:33What do you care?
24:34This is my girlfriend.
24:35Bullshit, she's my friend.
24:37Looks like he spiked her drink.
24:38I'm calling the cop.
24:43Mia, Mia.
24:44Are you okay?
24:46Wake up.
24:47This is bad.
24:51Mia, Mia.
24:53Open your eyes.
24:55I was right.
24:56Some creep tried to mess with her.
24:58I think the bastard spiked her drink.
25:00I'm taking her somewhere safe.
25:02You can't just leave.
25:03You have a meeting with the director, you know that?
25:05Screw the director.
25:06My friend's in trouble.
25:07Did you forget already?
25:09Your sister's scandal broke just a few days ago.
25:12Oh, right.
25:13Exactly.
25:14The last thing we need is another incident.
25:16But I can't leave her here like this.
25:19What if something happens to her?
25:21Is anyone you can ask for help?
25:22Right.
25:23My sister is having dinner with Jay nearby.
25:25I've got this covered.
25:27Jay, since that article is out,
25:29why don't we just announce our engagement?
25:33Stop talking nonsense.
25:34You know this is a crucial moment for my company.
25:36Do you even love me?
25:38All you care about is work.
25:40I've got enough on my plate.
25:41Can we just eat?
25:43So, how is the Mia girl doing?
25:45Is she good at her work?
25:46Yes, she's great.
25:48She's blending in quickly too.
25:50That's surprising.
25:51She looks like an airhead.
25:53I bet she'll quit soon though.
25:55She's already getting along with her team pretty well.
26:00Why is he calling me?
26:01Hey, what's going on?
26:04What?
26:06Okay, I'll be right there.
26:09Why? What is it?
26:10I'm sorry.
26:11I forgot about something urgent back in the office.
26:13I gotta run.
26:14Now?
26:15But we're not even done eating.
26:16Take your time and finish.
26:18I'll get back to you.
26:19Jay!
26:23Jay, over here!
26:26What happened to her?
26:27She was completely drunk,
26:28and some guy was dragging her off.
26:30Lucky I was there.
26:31Smart move.
26:33I really wanted to take her home,
26:34but my manager insists that I don't.
26:37It's okay, I'll take care of her.
26:39I heard that she's staying at the Imperial Hotel.
26:42No, too many eyes there.
26:44I'll just have to take her back to my place.
26:46Okay, thank you.
26:48Don't worry.
26:54Jay, I'm cold.
26:57It's going to be okay, Mia.
27:04My head.
27:07Where am I?
27:09What happened?
27:12You're up.
27:13Don't come near me!
27:14What did you do?
27:16Mia, this is a misunderstanding.
27:18A misunderstanding?
27:20I can't explain.
27:21You took advantage of a drunk woman?
27:23I wouldn't have laid a finger on you
27:24if you hadn't thrown up all over me.
27:29No, Mia, wait!
27:30No!
27:36Oh my god, I'm so sorry.
27:39Can you tell me what happened?
27:41I was at a party with a friend,
27:43and someone gave me a drink,
27:45and then I got dizzy and I blacked out.
27:48Classic trick.
27:49He spiked your drink.
27:50Thank god Jimin was there to save you.
27:52Jimin was there too?
27:54That's so embarrassing.
27:56How could I be so stupid?
27:59Now you're going to think of vomit
28:00every time you see me.
28:02Yeah, not a very pleasant memory.
28:04Then, how about this?
28:11How about this?
28:20How about this?
28:26Mr. Kim, I...
28:27Sometimes a little shock therapy works wonders, no?
28:30Aren't you hungry?
28:31No, I'm fine.
28:35It's okay to be honest.
28:37I'll go fix us something while you take a shower.
28:45Change into this.
28:46I had my secretary buy them in a rush,
28:48so I hope you like it.
28:50Wow, it's so beautiful.
28:53Wow, it looks so nice.
28:55Did you cook it by yourself?
28:56Yes, I cook my own food.
28:58I've been living alone for quite a long time.
29:01Do you enjoy cooking?
29:02I find it relaxing.
29:03I don't have to think about anything when I cook.
29:05I don't have to be the strict person when I'm at work.
29:07It reminds me of when I was a little kid.
29:09I used to watch and follow my mom cook.
29:11You may seem like a tough person,
29:13but you're a warm person deep down.
29:16You have good taste in both food and people.
29:19Do I?
29:25Jimin!
29:26Mia!
29:27It's sure good to see you on set.
29:28How's everything going?
29:30I should have thanked you earlier.
29:31I'm sorry for being late.
29:33Thank you for helping me that day.
29:35Don't mention it.
29:36Then, can you forgive me for not telling you
29:38that Gina was my sister?
29:40Oh, that?
29:41I already forgot about it.
29:43I have a good eye for friends.
29:45I knew you'd understand.
29:48That's enough small talk.
29:49Let's get down to work.
29:51Sorry, Aaron.
29:59Ji?
30:05The key scene is when Jimin connects with his family
30:07while watching TV alone.
30:09I'll make sure that the emotions come through.
30:11Okay, let's get ready, team.
30:15Okay.
30:34Ji, I feel sick.
30:36Mia, let's get you treated first.
30:39What about the shoot?
30:40Not your concern right now.
30:42We're taking a break!
30:45We got lucky that it wasn't severe.
30:48Thank you for treating me.
30:50I don't know what to say.
30:52We all drank the same coffee, but...
30:54Why was your coffee the only one spiked with pills?
30:57Someone must have spiked it with ill intentions.
30:59I'm going to catch whoever's responsible.
31:01No, you don't have to.
31:03No, I have to.
31:04Do you have any idea how scared I was
31:05that you might get hurt?
31:07Mr. Kim...
31:08The thought of you getting hurt
31:09almost made my heart explode.
31:11I don't want to feel that way ever again.
31:16What?
31:17Where?
31:18Hold on.
31:24Does she matter more to you than me?
31:26Why are you making this about you again?
31:29Someone got hurt.
31:30I'm pregnant.
31:32It's your baby.
31:36What?
31:37Are you serious?
31:39Why?
31:40You'd rather wish I was lying?
31:42No.
31:43That's not what I mean.
31:46What did I expect?
31:47I already knew that he was engaged.
31:49Did I think things were going to change
31:51just because he saved me?
31:53Don't fool yourself, Mia.
31:58Mia, are you okay?
31:59I was worried about you.
32:01I rushed over right after the shoot was over.
32:04I'm okay. It was only a migraine.
32:06I couldn't focus on the shoot
32:07because I couldn't stop worrying about you.
32:10You should go home and rest.
32:11You must be tired.
32:12I'm sorry for making you worry.
32:14Please don't be sorry.
32:16I have a gift for you.
32:18A gift?
32:19Ta-da!
32:21Jimin!
32:22When did you get this?
32:24That's so thoughtful of you.
32:26Wow.
32:27How can you be so cute,
32:28even when sick?
32:30Me?
32:31You can't keep pulling at my heartstrings like this.
32:38Jimin.
32:39You should go home with your sister.
32:41Okay.
32:42Get some good rest, Mia.
32:44I'll see you again.
32:45You should go too, Mr. Kim.
32:47Let me stay a little longer.
32:52I'm really sorry about what happened.
32:54I should have taken better care of you.
32:56Slap me if it makes you feel better.
32:59Patrick,
33:00it's not like you did it on purpose.
33:02Besides,
33:03you collapsed after drinking coffee on the set.
33:05Wait.
33:06How do you know?
33:07I never told you that.
33:10Ah, you know it from your friend at Creed, right?
33:12Yeah, that's right.
33:14It would have been such a PR nightmare
33:16if Jimin would have gotten hurt, so...
33:18Creed already has a pretty bad reputation
33:20after the recent scandal.
33:22Don't be too hard on my boss.
33:24He came and visited me,
33:25even though he could have gotten hurt too.
33:27I was thinking about giving him a gift of gratitude.
33:30He has insomnia,
33:31but I don't think he would like pillows or pajamas.
33:34Do you have an idea?
33:35I have something perfect.
33:37Oh, really? What is it?
33:38I don't have it with me right now,
33:39but I'll send it to your office.
33:41You're gonna love it.
33:43Package from Mia Carter?
33:45Me?
33:48Oh, it's from Patrick.
33:53So beautiful.
33:54What is this?
33:56To Mia.
33:57I picked this up from Europe.
33:58I'm sending it with a teapot
33:59crafted by a famous potter.
34:01This is so nice.
34:03This is perfect for Mr. Kemp.
34:05But can I really take something this expensive?
34:09Hey, Patrick.
34:11Thanks for the tea.
34:12What are you doing tonight?
34:16Thanks again for the rare and special gift.
34:18I'm glad I could help,
34:19although I'm a bit sad that your heart
34:21is already with someone else.
34:23Don't be silly. It's not what you think.
34:25Then quit working for Creed.
34:27I'll introduce you to a new job
34:29with a higher position and pay.
34:31What do you mean?
34:33It's thanks for the offer, but I'll pass.
34:36Si, a facto.
34:38Let me use the restroom real quick.
34:40Okay.
34:43Wait a second.
34:45Why does Patrick have the same cap?
34:47Could it be...
34:54You haven't left yet, Mr. Kemp.
34:56I've got some work left to do.
34:58What is it?
34:59Here.
35:01What's this?
35:02I wanted to thank you for helping out
35:03at the studio the other day.
35:05It's the tea that's supposed to
35:06relieve stress and anxiety.
35:08That's so nice of you.
35:11By the way, did you check the surveillance footage
35:13of the shoot the other day?
35:15Why though?
35:16I think the accident was not a coincidence.
35:19Do you suspect anyone?
35:21I don't know for certain.
35:23I just have a hunch.
35:25But I'll check.
35:26Should I do it for you?
35:27No, I'll do it.
35:28I think someone's deliberately
35:29trying to put you in danger.
35:31I can't drag you into this, Mia.
35:33Let me do it.
35:34No, I'll do it.
35:35I want to protect you this time.
35:37You're important to me too.
35:43It's getting late.
35:44How about we call it a night?
35:46I'll give you a ride.
35:47Jay!
35:50Jay!
35:52Huh?
35:53Did he leave?
35:54I thought he was working late.
36:01Come on.
36:12I love the sophisticated gold tones on her.
36:14She really pulls off this style.
36:16Although she tends to ruin the vibe when she talks.
36:18She must be a top actress for a reason.
36:21By the way,
36:22is she really getting married to the CEO?
36:25Rumor says that she's pregnant with his child.
36:28That's complete bullshit.
36:29It's not an official announcement.
36:31You know, Mia,
36:32you're really attractive.
36:34Aaron, what's with you again?
36:35Are you dating anyone here, Mia?
36:37I'd rather not say.
36:39Well, meeting's over,
36:40so I guess I should go now.
36:43Let me take your profile photo, Mia.
36:45Profile photo?
36:46All of a sudden?
36:47Yeah, I mean,
36:48you have to take it anyway.
36:49I photographed all the Creed members
36:50for the company website.
36:52Come to think of it,
36:53they told me that I had to take one.
36:56Talk about perfect timing.
36:57Let's go to the studio.
37:00Turn your head a little more.
37:02No.
37:04You're too stiff.
37:06You look like someone with tight shoulders.
37:08Try to loosen up a bit.
37:10Like this?
37:11I'm a little bit embarrassed
37:12since I haven't had my picture taken in a while.
37:15You're beautiful.
37:16You're my muse.
37:17Aaron.
37:18Relax, Mia.
37:19That's how we get the best results.
37:20But aren't you a little bit too close right now?
37:24What are you doing?
37:25Lisa.
37:27Do you really think you can get out of my reach?
37:30Lisa, stop it, Aaron.
37:32Don't make me suffer like this, Lisa.
37:37Lisa.
37:38I love you, Lisa.
37:39Please.
37:41You son of a bitch.
37:44My nose.
37:46Stop harassing a woman with your muse shit.
37:48You crazy jerk.
37:50Are you okay, Mia?
37:56Have some coffee, Mia.
37:59Thanks.
38:00You're lucky it didn't get worse.
38:02It would have been terrible if I arrived any later.
38:05I was just...
38:06I didn't see it coming.
38:08He said he wanted to take my profile photo
38:10and he suddenly took a turn.
38:11No one could have seen it coming.
38:13It's not your fault.
38:15I went totally blank
38:16because it happened all of a sudden.
38:18I'm here now.
38:19I've got you, Mia.
38:21How did you know I was there?
38:22I coincidentally see you two
38:24from my car
38:25and had a bad feeling seeing you together
38:27so I followed.
38:29I feel like I'm such a burden to you.
38:31Please don't see it like that, Mia.
38:33I'm just...
38:34happy that I can be with you.
38:36Jimin.
38:38The more I think about it
38:39the more I realize
38:40how deep my feelings for you are.
38:43Thank you, Jimin.
38:44But there's someone that I like.
38:47I thought so.
38:49I think I know who he is.
38:51I guess
38:52your quest for love isn't easy either, huh?
38:56I'm sorry, Jimin.
38:57I really am.
39:06The hell did you say?
39:08Your filthy mother got laid by my father
39:10and now a bastard like you
39:11thinks he can take over what's mine?
39:14I'm disgusted.
39:15Father accepted me, so why can't you?
39:17What more do you want me to do?
39:19When your slutty mother
39:20crawled into this household
39:21from God knows where...
39:22You've gone too far!
39:24I swore to myself
39:26I'll never forget the fury
39:28and anger and humiliation
39:29I felt when my father fell sick
39:31and yet you want my approval?
39:34You ask too much of me.
39:36If you hate me so much
39:37why didn't you just kill me back then?
39:39Yeah.
39:40I should have pressed harder.
39:42Would have saved us a whole lot of trouble, huh?
39:45How could he?
39:47You must be feeling threatened, Matthew.
39:49Are you afraid you'll lose the group
39:50because I'm better than you?
39:52You son of a bitch!
39:54Please stop!
39:56Just watch.
39:58I'll send you back to the gutter
39:59where you belong.
40:01Try it, if you can.
40:10You're not going to ask me
40:11where we're going?
40:12I'll go anywhere
40:14as long as I'm with you.
40:21It feels so strange to be with you.
40:24How come?
40:25I get so impulsive when I'm with you.
40:27When I look at you
40:28it feels like something inside me
40:30is going to explode.
40:43I've dreamt of this moment
40:44ever since I first saw you.
40:45I wanted so badly to be yours too.
40:47Please have me.
40:51Wow.
41:00Mr. Kim, what is this about?
41:02Did you see the article?
41:04This is insane.
41:05It was the COO
41:06who leaked the data for money.
41:08Why are they blaming you?
41:09I'm demanding a correction.
41:11People don't care about the truth.
41:13They're just jumping on a chance
41:14to tear me and Creed down.
41:16I can hear my brother laughing already.
41:18I can't destroy your career like that.
41:20No, Mia.
41:22I ruined yours.
41:23I'm sorry.
41:24I'll do whatever I can.
41:26No, you'll make things worse
41:27if you fight back without hard proof.
41:29Just stay quiet and wait this out.
41:31My brother will see you
41:32as just another prey.
41:34Okay.
41:35You should go, Mia.
41:37People will get the wrong idea
41:38if you stay here for too long.
41:40Yes, Mr. Kim.
41:41I'll reach out to you
41:42once things get quiet.
41:45Is that her?
41:47The junkie?
41:48I heard that she slept her way
41:49into the company.
41:50Oh, my gosh.
41:52She's so shameless.
41:54How could she work here
41:55after causing all these troubles?
42:00Where is this bitch?
42:01Get out of here now!
42:05How do you have the nerve to leave?
42:07The company's stock is in free fall
42:08thanks to you,
42:09you drug addict.
42:10I never took any drugs.
42:12I didn't know the drink was white.
42:14You're the one who drank it.
42:16Why is Jay cleaning up your mess?
42:18Do you know how much pressure
42:19our shareholders are putting
42:20on him to resign?
42:22Is that true?
42:23Do I look like I'm lying?
42:25Go ahead if you want to ruin
42:26your life with the drugs,
42:27but don't drag Jay into this shit.
42:29I'll prove everything, Gina.
42:31I'll find out who set us up
42:34and prove that we're...
42:36Still can't admit it's your fault.
42:38Just be gone.
42:39Just be gone.
42:40That's what everyone here wants too.
42:49I'll call you back later.
42:50What is it?
42:51I'm here to help.
42:52Help?
42:53How can you help me?
42:54I talked to my dad.
42:56He can cut a deal with the reporter
42:57and get a retraction published
42:59just under one condition.
43:01What condition?
43:02Marry me.
43:03We'll announce our engagement
43:04with the retraction
43:05and the rumors will blow over.
43:07The company will be back on track too.
43:09That's your condition?
43:10I can handle this without your help.
43:12You don't want to marry me, Jay?
43:14Is it because of her?
43:15The Mia woman?
43:16This has nothing to do with Mia.
43:18I just don't want to marry you.
43:19Is it really because of her?
43:21Answer me.
43:27I want Mia Card in my office.
43:29What?
43:30She quit?
43:31What?
43:45Mia!
43:51Why are you running away?
43:52It's not your fault.
43:53I have to leave.
43:54I can't make things harder for you.
43:56No, I'll fall apart if you leave.
43:58Please stay with me.
43:59I can't stay.
44:00I've already put you through enough.
44:03Why do you care for me so much
44:04when you're broken too?
44:05Jay...
44:06I can't let you go like this.
44:08We'll find a way together.
44:09At least give me a chance to try.
44:11Okay, I will.
44:17The real question is
44:18who leaked our company's secret.
44:19I've been handling the data breach reports
44:21in secret recently.
44:23When did you receive the reports?
44:25About a week ago.
44:26A week...
44:28Has anything in this room changed since then?
44:30Like anything missing
44:32or anything that wasn't there before?
44:34The teapot and tea you gave me.
44:36Is it in your office?
44:55My God, who could have done this?
44:57It's Matthew, obviously.
44:59The friend of Patrick.
45:00Is he the one that gave you this?
45:02Yes, I told him that I wanted to give you something
45:04to help with your insomnia.
45:05He said it was a rare tea that he brought back from Europe
45:08where he worked as a tour guide.
45:09It was a gift of apology for what happened before.
45:13I can't forgive myself for causing you this trouble.
45:15Don't blame yourself, Mia.
45:17You're a victim too.
45:18I'm sure he approached you deliberately
45:19knowing that you were joining Creed.
45:21Can you tell me what he looks like?
45:22Hold on!
45:23I have his profile photo on my messenger.
45:27I don't know him, but...
45:30Why does he look so familiar?
45:35That restaurant is where my photos with Gina were taken.
45:37Did you check the surveillance footage
45:39from the shoot that I told you about?
45:41Yes, I did.
45:44Can you zoom in?
45:48That's Patrick's cab!
45:54Mia!
45:55Patrick...
45:56What's wrong? You look terrible.
45:57I got fired from the company
45:59and the CEO is going to sue me for defamation.
46:01I had no one to rely on in Seoul
46:03and nowhere to go.
46:05You're the only person I could think of.
46:07Please, Patrick, help me.
46:09Sue you? What for? That's bullshit.
46:11You're the victim here.
46:12You didn't do anything wrong.
46:14Let's go sit down first.
46:20Don't worry.
46:21Just tell me everything.
46:22I'm so exhausted, Patrick.
46:24He won't believe me
46:25no matter how much I say that it wasn't me.
46:27The coward is trying to pin it on the foreigner.
46:29I'm not going to stand by anymore.
46:31I'm going to expose his corruption
46:33and redeem myself.
46:34Corruption?
46:35I didn't want to soup down to his level,
46:37but what else can I do?
46:39He's a powerful man
46:40and I'm just an employee.
46:42I have files about the bribes the CEO received
46:44from a subcontractor in exchange for favors.
46:47Really?
46:48Yeah, I found that when I was working late.
46:51I took copies just in case.
46:53You're right, Patrick.
46:54He's a hypocrite hiding behind a mask.
46:57See what I told you?
47:02I gotta take this one.
47:04Please, Patrick, don't leave.
47:06I'm so scared.
47:07Don't worry.
47:08I'll be right back.
47:15Is it true that he's suing me up?
47:17If what she says is true,
47:19this will be our chance to take him down.
47:21Yes, I'm at the office with her.
47:26See? I told you I'd be back.
47:28Do you trust me now?
47:30I should have listened to you sooner.
47:32Then I wouldn't be in this trouble right now.
47:35I've taken a long fall down a dark pit.
47:38It's not too late to fix things, Mia.
47:40I can help you.
47:42Thanks, Patrick.
47:44I won't forget about this.
47:46So, where are those files that you mentioned?
47:49Right here.
47:53This should be enough to take him down.
47:58Patrick?
48:00Patrick?
48:03I'm sorry to be doing this to you.
48:08I did it. I'm leaving right now.
48:14Don't you fuck me.
48:19Don't. Don't.
48:25You can't run away from me all day.
48:34Stop right there, you damn bitch.
48:38Let's not waste our time, please.
48:43Give it to me.
48:45Give it to me!
48:47You're not the type who listens, are you?
48:50Mia!
48:53Jack!
49:03I didn't want this.
49:05Freeze!
49:06Drop your weapon!
49:08Right now!
49:11I didn't want this.
49:13Mia.
49:14It's you.
49:17This is all because of...
49:28Please.
49:29Hang in there.
49:30Someone call an ambulance!
49:33Sir, help me, please.
49:47CEO Jay Kim.
49:48Rumors of the CEO's involvement in a drug party have all been revealed as part of a calculated scheme by Matthew to seize power.
49:57Mia.
49:59Mr. Kim, you're finally awake.
50:01Yeah.
50:02Gotta live.
50:03Can't leave you behind.
50:05I'm sorry for worrying you.
50:07What happened?
50:08Your charges got dropped and the company is back on track.
50:13But your brother, he got shot.
50:16He died.
50:17And Gina...
50:18I heard that Matthew was the father of the baby.
50:22I see.
50:23So it's all over now.
50:25Why don't we talk about us?
50:32I didn't think you'd come all the way out here, Mia.
50:36I trusted you, Patrick.
50:38I thought you were a good person.
50:40You know, that's your problem.
50:42You're too quick to see the good in people.
50:44A few years ago, when I was working for Preet in New York, I got fired for embezzling company funds.
50:51I needed money for my mother's surgery.
50:54My mother passed away while I was being investigated, so I wanted to get revenge on him.
50:58I see.
51:00And then I found out that he was paying for my father's nursing care.
51:04I think he was a good person after all.
51:07It's not too late to fix things, Patrick.
51:10I have to pay for what I've done first.
51:12Thank you for coming, Mia.
51:13I wish you all the best.
51:15Take care, Patrick.
51:18You went to see Patrick?
51:20You're really something.
51:22And you've been paying for his father's nursing care.
51:25I was so surprised.
51:26How can anyone be so kind?
51:29It was my mother's last words.
51:31Hate the sins, but not the person.
51:33I still feel guilty when I think about Matthew.
51:36I wish I'd tried harder.
51:38Just be open with me from now on, and I'll do everything to make you happy.
51:42Jay, I have something to tell you.
51:49Jay, I'm pregnant.
51:51Are you serious?
51:53I'm sorry.
51:54I know you're busy wrapping things up with the company, but I thought I had to tell you.
51:58Thank you, Mia.
51:59I've been carrying this around, waiting for the right moment.
52:01I think it's finally here.
52:03Will you marry me, Mia?
52:05Yes!
