BEHIND EVERY STAR

EPISODE 5

My lady.

My lady?

Good grief.

Why won't you stick to the script?

What do you mean?

We'd be done if you went along.

It doesn't say you're to push me!

It's there in the actions. "Passionately approaches."

Damn it, my head hurts.

Director.

Hurry over. Good grief.

-What's wrong? -I mean, I am…

I'm the daughter of the richest man in Gyeongseong.

And he's just a rickshaw driver.

How can a rickshaw driver treat a noble like this?

It's so crude.

People may really take you for a spoiled noble.

You're dying to be treated like a star actress.

Ho-san.

Can we please try to be more graceful?

You keep pushing and pulling me as you like.

Are you trying to show off how strong you are?

Good grief.

You've changed so much.

I can't do this.

Those are my words!

Goodness. Good grief.

-One second. -Forget it.

She's leaving the scene.

Oh Na-ra refuses to shoot!

-You've changed with popularity! -Shut the hell up!

What was that?

-Hold on, let go. Are you cussing at me? -No, wait.

Do it. Go on.

What did you say? Go ahead.

How much do we have left?

-We still have a lot left to shoot. -Hey, what was that?

-What do we do? -Are you mocking me?

For goodness' sake.

Hey! Where's their agent?

You're up.

I have to get to work. Get dressed.

A few more minutes.

MANAGER KIM JUNG-DON

Wait, I need to see my phone.

Hey, Jung-don.

-Why weren't you picking up? -Sorry.

Won-jae just called. The set is a huge mess right now.

Ho-san and Na-ra kept on fighting,

so all filming came to a halt.

What's with them?

Anyway, about Mr. Lee Sang-uk.

What about him?

The embezzlement info we saw related to Mr. Wang.

Right.

After seeing that, I've lost my appetite.

What if our company is ruined?

Hey, look at that punk.

What? Why is he here?

Does he live nearby?

Man, what an awful start to the day.

I miss you already.

Good grief.

Happy birthday, daughter.

Did you get the seaweed soup?

Are you doing well?

I'm doing well. Everything is well.

So Hyun-joo.

I'll call you later.

Here. Take this.

What's this?

A birthday present.

It's for actor Kim Soo-ro,

so give it to Ms. Chun when she gets in.

What's that? A present? What's the occasion?

There is no occasion.

-We don't have any lines. -You don't?

Well, I do.

-I'm in a scene with Park Ho-san. -Gosh.

-This is bad. -What is?

If you make a blooper while acting out a line,

you'll be in hot water.

Yes, I had a scene with Ho-san during Pegasus Market .

I felt so pressured that my mind went blank.

I can still feel it.

Gosh, good luck.

Can we start eating?

Give us a moment.

What are we having?

-It's Park Ho-san! -Stir-fried pork?

-Turn slowly. -I hope it's stir-fried pork tomorrow.

Ho-san, Ms. Oh is on standby.

She has to leave before two o'clock to shoot a variety show.

Tell her to wait.

We have to eat to work. She's not the only one who's busy.

-Tell her to wait a moment. -She always makes me wait.

-Hello. -Yes, hello.

You're the maid.

Yes.

-Are you Maid One or Two? -I'm Maid Three.

Then you have a scene with me.

-Yes, tomorrow. Scene 60. -Right.

It's such an honor.

It's nothing.

I'm with Method Entertainment too.

Really? My agency?

I see.

I didn't know.

You must be nervous.

Yes, very much.

You'll get used to it soon after being on set a few times.

She'll leave if you don't come.

Tell her to go. She does everything she wants,

but she can't wait 30 minutes for me to eat?

She always books everything according to her schedule.

What does she think…

Shall we rehearse the lines for tomorrow?

-Really? -Yes, let me see it.

I would be grateful.

We're with the same agency. I can do that much.

Shall we?

You're nothing but a rickshaw driver.

How dare you speak like that to my lady?

You clearly look like a servant.

That's all…

You're good.

Your lines were spot on.

I almost thought you meant it.

You must've practiced a lot.

-See you tomorrow. -Okay.

Go ahead and eat. I have a scene to shoot.

Goodbye.

We're on our way. Standby.

If it's for you, my lady,

I do not care what happens to my insignificant life.

But if you fall in danger because of me,

I can't…

This is driving me insane.

I can't work like this.

Cut.

Did you think this would work?

Are you testing my acting skills?

-When is Na-ra returning? -In about four hours.

-How many hours? -Four.

She's an actress!

How can an actress shoot a variety show in the middle of shooting a movie?

How does that make sense?

I'm not doing it. I'm done too. See you in four hours.

-I'm done. Let's do it when Na-ra's back. -Wait. Ho-san.

No, tell Na-ra to wait four hours once she gets back.

Ho-san.

Darn it.

Hey, Assistant Director.

Never mind. This must be hard on you too.

Let go of me, damn it.

-We're here. -Ho-san.

Great work, everyone. Damn it.

Ho-san.

Hey. What happened?

I don't know why he's like that.

They fight whenever they see each other.

I'm stuck in the middle going crazy.

All right. Get some rest in the car.

Great work.

Na-ra, welcome back.

-Hey. -Hi.

It's no use if you came to get us to make up.

That man lacks the basics.

-Okay? -Basics?

Hey.

You know I try extra hard because I don't want people

looking down on me just because I majored in dance.

Of course, Na-ra.

But Ho-san never analyzes his characters.

His character is a romantic rickshaw driver.

But he's acting like some ignorant, vulgar savage.

I thought he was a theater major.

I wonder why. Did he lose his touch?

Maybe he's doing that on purpose to make you stand out more.

As if.

Ho-san was thrilled to be cast alongside you.

He watched all your work too.

Why would he do that?

Na-ra, I checked with the production on my way here.

The rough edit is already good. You look great in it.

You'll be so proud once this premieres.

-They said I look good? -Yes.

You've worked so hard until now. Hang in there, okay?

Fine.

I'm still her senior,

but she always tells me off in front of the crew.

She must think she's really a lady of noble blood.

And her performance?

One time, the director asked her to improvise a little more in the lead.

Do you know what she said?

"It's raining right now."

"The sky must be crying in my place."

Crying, my foot. Is she some teenager? It's just rain.
