Record of Youth (청춘기록)

Aren't you going to answer it?

HYE-JUN

Then we'll have less time to talk. I have a client.

-I'll get straight to the point, then. -Yes, I'd like that.

By the way, your makeup is excellent.

I didn't even do much today.

And you look this good?

Then with a little more makeup, you'll look stunning.

Of course, you're already pretty.

Thank you.

Peach eyeshadow will look lovely on you.

Today won't work, but come and get your makeup done some other day.

Are you trying to make me your client?

Come. I'll give you a ten-percent discount.

How long have you and Hye-jun been dating?

We're not dating.

We have photos of him leaving your place.

Is this an official interview?

Yes, it is.

Then you'd have to record this conversation,

so I'll do it for you.

We shouldn't go back on what we said here today, right?

Sa Hye-jun is one of my celebrity clients.

But we're the same age,

so I admit that he often treats me like a friend.

EPISODE 15

"Actor Sa Hye-jun

and makeup artist A

are not dating.

Sa Hye-jun's makeup artist…"

GYEONG-JUN

-Hello, Gyeong-jun. -Hello, Ms. Lee.

Couldn't you prevent this article?

I denied it, but they went ahead and published it.

Okay, but it's your job to sort this out.

All right, I will get on it.

-I have so much to do-- -I wrote the letter.

Really?

I wrote it thinking that I was apologizing to myself.

I wronged myself on so many occasions.

-What's he saying? -What? Pardon?

Nothing. I'll pass it along to the lawyer.

All right.

Gosh, he's like an overbearing mother-in-law.

"They have been working together for…"

LEE TAE-SU

What now?

Yes.

I saw the article about Hye-jun.

Why hasn't there been a rebuttal yet?

Gosh, seriously. Mind your own business.

This is my business. I'll sign with Hye-jun.

Take good care of him until he signs with me.

You must think I'm a joke for you to tell me that you'll steal him from me.

You have to keep saying it aloud to make it happen

even though it seems practically impossible.

Hurry up and release a rebuttal.

The sooner you do it, the better it will be for you.

I have to ask Hye-jun.

If you ask him, he'll say he'll just go public with it.

You know very well.

Ms. Kim said she's working on a story that's even more scandalous.

Don't think this will be easy.

CONFESSION

Is it about my boyfriend?

Yes, it is.

You were going to confess that you're his girlfriend

but you couldn't because Jung Ji-a beat you to it.

I just wanted to thank my subscribers.

I'm on your side, Jeong-ha.

Sa Hye-jun has changed since he blew up, didn't he?

I mean, his status has changed.

Hye-jun isn't like that.

Why are you so protective of him?

Why are you trying to turn me into a woman who was dumped?

When I interviewed Jung Ji-a,

I could tell that she still wasn't over him.

She agreed to reveal her name and face because she still loves him very much.

Those two are on the same level now.

Everyone around them will be happy if they get back together.

I see that you're a skilled interviewer.

I am definitely offended,

and you're making me want to say bad stuff about Hye-jun.

Next time, book an appointment first.

I can help you improve your public image as well.

HYE-JUN

-Hey. -What are you up to?

Going to my Pilates class.

Aren't you seeing Jeong-ha?

We couldn't meet up, so I was wondering if you were free.

Am I her stand-in?

Do you think you can be her stand-in?

Cut it out, will you?

SA HYE-JUN DENIES DATING RUMORS

You come here too? I guess you really are a hotshot now.

You haven't changed at all.

So this is still your indicator for judging success.

Yes, I'm still the same.

Do you think you're any different?

I never claimed to be.

Do you remember when we first met?

You were such a show-off that I thought you were different from me.

I bet you can relate to me now.

you had that article published in no time, denying your relationship with Jeong-ha.

An article?

Of course.

You should say that your manager did it without telling you.

You're a fast learner, Hye-jun.

-You didn't get changed. -I have to go to JJamppong.

Isn't it your day off?

Didn't you see the article?

Must I bring it up?

I have nothing to say about it.

-What did Jeong-ha say? -I can't reach her.

Did you release that without telling her?

I have to find that out, but Min-jae isn't picking up.

I stopped by to say hello because it's been a while.

I'm so anxious these days.

What will the management say? They've been quiet so far.

His quick rise to stardom

has caused a lot of jealousy and rumors.

There are too many dating rumors

and too many scandalous gossip.

We signed with him because of his upright image.

Please, handle the media better.

I'm worried that all these scathing articles about him

would damage the company's public image.

That won't happen.

We sued them for defamation.

Hi.

Hi, my foot.

I'm not in the mood to say hi to you.

I guess you don't want to lose the advertisements.

I see that you've turned into a total money-grubber.

Good. You're a true manager now.

They trusted Hye-jun to be the face of their brand,

so I didn't want to trouble them. It's not about money.

What brings you by?

If Hye-jun loses the contract, Do-ha should get it.

Park Do-ha, a man of sound body and mind.

Are you deliberately trying to sabotage him?

Then why do you even want to manage Hye-jun?

Because he's proven himself as a star.

And all the rumors about him are false.

His momentum can't be stopped.

I'm saying that I'll help him get back up if he falls.

How very thoughtful.

I can hire you at our company too. You can't do this alone.

Has he renewed his contract?

I guess he hasn't. See? I told you.

They all think it was all their doing.

Why do you think I ended up like this?

Trust, faith, love?

At the end of the day, it's all bullshit if you have no money.

You keep believing that. I'll go my own way.

Do you think he'll recognize your hard work?

Does he know you're here?

I bet you released the rebuttal without asking him.

Your relationship will be cracking soon.

What you're hoping for will not happen.

We're very tight.

Why did you release the article without telling me?

A rebuttal has to be released quickly.

-The sooner the better. -Fine.

Let's forget about what I think for a second.

Did you give Jeong-ha the heads-up?

Jeong-ha will understand. She's very clever.

I don't want her privacy to be infringed upon because of me.

I know that.

But I need to do my job too.

As your manager, my priority is to protect you.

I get what you're saying.

But to me, protecting Jeong-ha comes first.

NEW COMMENT

WAKE UP. TO HIM, YOU'RE JUST ONE OF THE GIRLS.

WHY MAKE A MOVE ON HIM WHEN YOU SHOULD BE WORKING?

YOU NEED A REALITY CHECK

YOU'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM

MOM

Hey, Hae-hyo.

I saw Hye-jun. He said he couldn't reach you.

-I'm going to call him. -Where are you now?

-Home. -Why are you home already?

My mom's coming.

You answered my call. Why didn't you pick up Hye-jun's?

-You're asking that now? -You shouldn't have picked up.

Then I would've come over, all worried.

-You're a great friend. -Did you just realize that?

Why do people apologize to each other when they're in love?

Maybe because they want to do better but can't.

They can try and be better. Why apologize?

I'll never apologize for that reason.

HYE-JUN

"I'll never say sorry."

He couldn't keep his word.

Back then, we thought love was simple.

Love encompasses all sorts of emotions.

The First Human is about a feud between third-generation conglomerate heirs

over their family business and also about romance.

-You've done a number of romance dramas. -He sounds so natural.
