Durian's Affair (Lady Durian / Mrs. Durian / Seonnyeo Durian / 아씨두리안 / 선녀두리안)

I think she was there for a meal with Eon.

Was she not a fellow performer...

I mean, actress?

Do not ask them about it.

Of course. I should not.

Did you not see...

how the male and female actors embraced each other openly...

in front of others?

I am sure a meal means nothing.

Just like how Mr. Dan treated us to a meal.

She could also be a relative.

Is that what you want to believe?

The director is here. He wants to see you.

I'm here again.

Have you heard from Mr. Dan?

Yes, more or less.

What's your name?

I am Kim So Jeo.

She just needs to memorize the script.

This is Yoo Ro, the assistant director.

It's nice to meet you.

We're working on a historical drama called "Master Jung."

You'll be the female lead.

Although you may not recall, we briefly met...

at Deung Myung's parking lot the other day.

I thought you were perfect.

She is rather inadequate...

and almost ignorant in various ways.

I am not sure if she will be capable.

It's my job to help them act.

As long as you work hard,

you just need the right attitude and passion.

May I take some photos?

I need to show the writer.

Videos, too.

How old are you?

According to what your mother said,

I think you may be 21 years old, born in 2003.

I was born in 2003.

You must be 20 then. That's perfect.

What do you like?

Learning anything.

Were you born in Seoul?

Please ask Mr. Dan for the details.

All right.

What dramas do you watch these days?

I am not sure.

I guess you don't watch them.

Do you want to be an actress?

Yes.

Anything is fine. I need to work.

That's right.

The skies help those who help themselves.

As humans, we should work...

as long as we have the opportunity and ability to.

When do you feel the happiest?

These days.

Even the way you smile is demure.

The writer likes you too.

I don't mean to pressure you, but this is a huge opportunity.

Thank you.

We'll work things out on our end.

Just learn your lines when you get the script.

You have Deung Myung, anyway.

The door was open.

Oh, did I not close it properly?

I'm sorry.

Have you heard from Mr. Dan?

Well, we'll get going then.

She's the next big star.

From her voice to her tone,

she's the perfect Cho Yi Young.

Tell me about it.

Can you really do it?

Nothing is impossible for us, Mother.

As long as we pray and work hard, the skies will help us.

You saw it happen.

I will move the skies...

with all my effort.

I wonder what Eon will say.

Will you go first?

Let me.

All right. Let's go back to the past.

What do you see?

We're here in the past.

Please tell me your name.

I'm Kim...

So Jeo.

I see, Ms. Kim So Jeo.

Who gave you that name?

My grandfather.

What do you see now?

Is there anyone beside you?

My family.

What are you doing with your family?

We are crying.

Who?

Who is the one crying?

It is me...

and my mother-in-law.

Did something sad happen?

Yes.

Did someone pass away?

She died.

Who died?

Boksil.

Boksil?

Who is that?

She is Bokdeong's...

female pup.

So she's a dog?

Yes.

Okay. Let's travel back a few years.

What do you see?

She is stretching.

Who is?

Who is stretching?

Ddolddol is.

Is she another dog? - Yes.

Bokdeong was born.

Please go in.

Have a seat.

All right, please relax.

Please look into this orb.

Your eyes are closing.

You will now close...

your tired eyes.

Relax.

Your body feels comfortable.

When I signal by saying "Red sun,"

you will enter a state of hypnosis.

Red sun.

You are now in the past.

What do you see?

Tell me what you see.

It's your past self.

What is your name?

Are you Du Ri An?

Ms. Du Ri An?

Did she fall asleep?

Yes.

There are people who sleep?

Sometimes...

if they are too tired.

We cast Kim So Jeo for Cho Yi Young's role.

The writer approved.

You should help her for the drama's sake.

But the writer doesn't know much about So Jeo.

The past should be kept in the past.

It's fine if she looks the part and acts well.

Since she looks pure, she'll be Cho Yi Young herself.

Her acting will be natural then.

From today onwards, go practice with her...

whenever you're free.

As the leads, your synergy is important.

I know.

Pass it to her yourself.

Her voice is right out of a historical drama.

I wonder about her background.

It was as if Cho Yi Young came to live in front of me.

What did she say?

She said she'd do it and work hard.

Is she able to?

I was up last night...

mending the clothes that I fell asleep.

That's okay.

By the way, did Director Ju Nam visit today?

Yes.

What was your decision?

Hold on.

It's the director.

Hello? - Kim So Jeo?

Director Ju Nam asked our company to sign her up...

after casting her as Cho Yi Young.

How is she? I heard you knew her.

I don't know. - Is she bad?

It's not that. - Then?

She has no acting experience.

You're proof that experience doesn't matter.

The CEO is taking her in...

because Director Ju Nam has confidence in her.

I better pray for her success.

Shouldn't we have wine? This calls for a celebration.

Let's have it when Deung Myung is around.

That's another matter.

Drinks are the best for hangovers.

Do you have champagne? - Yes.

We had some wine yesterday.

Please have some. It is mugwort pancake.

You can get mugwort these days?

When they were in season, I dried and kept them.

Why is he taking so long?

He is coming.

Pour me a cup.

Let me pour you a cup.

Do not disregard your husband's words.

Did you not hear me? Why are you just standing there?

I did not ask you to get up.

Good work.

You too.
