My Love, Madame Butterfly (Nae Sarang Nabibooin / 내 사랑 나비부인)

Thank you. Welcome and visit us again.

Welcome. Welcome.

Please come and look at our newly released cosmetics.

Wake her up.

Umm... Unni?

We're here.

She drank all night

long again...

Did she secretly go get a liver transplant or something?

Even when she passes 70, she will be the same.

Na Bi, if you're like this again, you'll get kicked out.

Where are we?

Korea Art Culture.

Why am I here?

Why else would we come here? It's to see the performance of course.

What performance?

Madame Butterfly.

Ah.

Are they losing money? Having porn films now?

Unni. It's not those types of Madame in Lady Cow or Lady Aema.

It's an opera called Madame Butterfly.

Opera?

Why opera all of a sudden? I hate operas.

It's boring. I don't want to. Turn the car around.

We have to see it because it's sponsored by the World Department Store.

As their exclusive model, it is your duty. The new marketing director,

sent us an invitation.

Don't make me laugh. It's just an excuse to drink with me.

Did the scenario from Director Lee Chun Do come?

No.

What kind of manager can't get it? Go get it or you're fired.

Don't cuss. Even if you don't say it aloud, I can still hear it.

Opera is a part of my life.

Whenever my heart is a mess, I go watch operas to find peace in my heart.

Everyone, please watch the opera Madame Butterfly.

The scenario from Director Lee Chan Do came.

Ok.

Uh... Can you stop takin-Ah!

Stop taking photos.

Top star Nam Na Bi scene captured by devotees.

Start your report.

Nam Na Bi.

In 1997, she was spotted on the street and casted at the age of 19.

She rose to stardom through a chocolate commercial.

In 1999, she became the leading lady in the mini-series "Wildflowers of Autumn."

Through this, the nation fell into a Nam Na Bi syndrome.

And later that year she received the Popularity, Best Newcomer, and Best Couple Awards.

I won't let my beauty hold me back.

I will definitely become a capable actress.

Thank You.

That's all.

End? It all ended after 1999?

After that point, she never got any more acting awards.

All her other projects caused controversy.

She uses the same expressions for different kinds of emotions.

Nan Na Bi's set of 10 acting expressions, which drive the netizens insane,

has become her stock in trade, known to everyone.

Then how did she become a top star?

Her timeless beauty and unique fashion sense

won her the title as the nation's best fashionista.

She has a continuing influence especially in advertising.

Right now, she is the model for seven companies...

and now, World Department Store is her 8th.

Is she married?

Not yet, although she was involved in many scandals.

What about her personality?

A few months ago, she appeared on a talk show

and said "I don't eat doenjang because of it's smell".

After her comment, 100,000 anti-fans protested.

Why are we using such a woman as our exclusive model?

Well...

That's enough.

Contact the media immediately.

If they publicize unverified facts, we will take legal action immediately.

Get in touch with Nam Na Bi's side.

Get in touch with Nam Na Bi personally. Right now.

I've got to meet the director.

This is for sure a candidate for the grand prize at the Cannes.

I will prove to them that I'm much more than a CF queen.

Nam Na Bi's 15 years of acting will now become a lifetime.

Yes?

Pardon?

Na Bi, it's World Department Store and

they said some photos were taken earlier at the opera. Were the photos really taken?

I don't know. It's normal for pictures to be taken of me.

The Marketing Director says he wants to meet you because of the scandal.

Take it.

See. See. I told you so. That guy is just trying to get a drink with me.

What scandal? He must want to create a scandal with me.

Some people will try to do the weirdest things just to see me.

Ah... no... Ah

Is that woman out of her mind?

Director! Hello!

I'm here.

You're here.

Why are you here?

Then, what about you?

You?

You grew very snooty. Despite your debut, you weren't doing anything and I took pity on you.

It seems only yesterday that I cast you in as the main role's friend's in-laws second cousin.

But to this high up and powerful sunbae, you say "you"?

That's why I clenched my jaw and studied acting.

When you stole my boyfriend while spreading gossip everywhere,

instead of the main character's friend's in-law's cousin twice removed,

I planned on becoming the main character.

Director.

This script is really touching.

Is it?

I analyzed the role in this script.

This is a role with plenty of bitterness so.

Huh? Bitterness?

The role you ares supposed to be cast as is far from being bitter.

There might be screams from having a baby but...

you can't add grudge and sorrow to that.

What do you mean by baby?

How can a newly wed who got widowed on the first day of marriage have a baby?

That is the role I'm playing.

You are playing Eon Yeon. Don't you know?

Eon Yeon?

The main character's maid?

The Eon Yeon who viciously sows dissension

every night because of the children.

Yes.

So, as I've mentioned earlier, add some strength in this part.

It's been 15 years of being overlooked. If your performance is still at that level,

haven't you already received a death sentence?

A clothing mannequin can even act better than you.

Because your delivery of lines is so poor, it would be better to put in subtitles.

Rather than being insulted like that before it's too late,

it would be better to seduce a stupid 2nd generation chaebol and get pregnant immedia...

Don't mess with me.

If I had known he was yours,

I would never have met your lover who was so emaciated, his Adam's apple was bulging out.

If you want to date someone raise your standards first.

No, Director.

What do you mean alcohol? I'm not drunk.

Director... I really want to do well in acting.

Not that Eon Yeon role.

What's wrong with my image?

Director. Wait a minute. Don't hang up. Give me 5 minutes.

Director? Director Lee Chang Dong?

What? Eon Yeon?

I'm Nam Na Bi.

Even my breath is a hit. South Korea top star.

Just wait and see. I won't forgive you.

Please lower your window.

I'm Nam Na Bi.

Yes. We're conducting a breath test.

Please lower your window.

I'm Nam Na Bi. You recognize me, don't you?

Yes, I recognize you.

Seriously. Is it broken?

Please blow into this.

I have a bad cold.

I can't breathe.

I don't want to infect other people.

Breathe. Breathe. Please breathe out.

Didn't I just breathe? Is your breathalyzer broken?

Seriously. I'm so busy.

What's going on?

Is he trying to scare me by having a bunch of them?

Please come out.

Do you want to do it voluntarily or do I drag you out?

I am wrong.

Please come out!

She allegedly hit Officer Jo and is being charged with hit and run.

Top talent Nam Na Bi arrested for hit and run under the influence.

Did you see the Nam Na Bi fiasco? What are we going to do about that?

Because she violated the conditions of her modeling contract,

she has to pay triple compensation. Now.

How many days has it been?

Do you want to starve to death?

Think of me and eat just one spoonful.

Just rest as if you took a vacation for a year.

Then make a mesmerizing come back.

We can live off the money you earned for the time being.

Don't worry from now on, I'll keep us fed. Just believe in Mo-.

Now? How will you provide for me?

Na Bi.

Ever since my debut 15 years ago, have you earned one cent for yourself?

Your daughter made money by smiling so much her lips got cramped while you spent lavishly on clothing

and travel, living so freely.

How are you going to earn money?

Yes, you're right.

For you its been 15 years since you debuted but I lived and fed you for 20 years.

What?

How did I raise you?

There isn't a corner in Seoul I haven't been to, carrying a cosmetic bag.

I had frostbite in winter and rashes in summer. I raised you up like that.

I was pursued by dogs, bitten by mosquitoes in blistering hot weather.

Massaging people until my fingerprints have all but disappeared.

How did I give birth to you?

Mom.

I know you just have a high pride,

but you have a kind heart compared to anyone.

Don't worry about anything from now on.
