Act 1 - Part 1
SCENE: outside Sun-Mi's house, night
Hyung-Chul and Sun-Mi face each other in the lane outside her gate.
Neither says a word as seconds tick by.
Finally, Hyung-Chul breaks the silence, expressing his irritation at the hours of being kept waiting ...
Hyung-Chul....... Where have you been all night? I tried reaching you, but your phone was turned off!
To Sun-Mi, this is odd behavior for a man who has just broken up without telling her first.
Sun-Mi.............. Why are you here, Director Yoon?
Hyung-Chul....... You wanted to talk ... Said it was important.
Sun-Mi.............. (scoffing) Tsst ... What does it matter now? I've nothing more to say to you.
But Hyung-Chul has his own intentions in mind ...
|
FLASHBACK [Previous scene from Episode 17]
Hyung-Chul....... Art Club is an ideal fit for Sun-Mi, and a good opportunity to advance her career.
Hyung-Chul....... But she lacks the self-confidence to take on such a prominent program.
Su-Jin............... Then encourage her yourself. Tell Sun-Mi clearly that you want her to make the move.
|
Hyung-Chul....... But I have something to say to you ...
Reaching out, he grasps Sun-Mi by the wrist.
He starts dragging her toward the car, but she resists, protesting angrily ...
Sun-Mi.............. What are you doing?
Hyung-Chul....... Taking you to someplace we can talk, unless you want to make a scene for the neighbors here!
Sun-Mi.............. Heeding his warning, she stops resisting and reluctantly follows him.
SCENE: Woo-Jin's bedroom, night
Woo-Jin is at the bathroom sink, running the water.
Thinking he is showering, Young-Mi starts searching the bedroom for the security tape.
She goes to the closet first, then over to Woo-Jin's desk and chest of drawers, looking through the drawers.
She finds some video cassette tapes and checks them one at a time.
While she is doing this, Woo-Jin comes into the room and watches her.
Woo-Jin............ Young-Mi?
Young-Mi.......... (searching for words to explain) O ... Oppa.
Woo-Jin looks at her accusingly.
Woo-Jin............ What were you looking for?
For a brief moment Young-Mi reacts guiltily, but then smiles as she thinks up an excuse.
She puts the tapes back into the drawer, then opens the drawer above it and takes out a picture.
Young-Mi.......... Here it is. Our picture ...
She holds it up for him to see.
Young-Mi.......... ... But where's the frame? We must've thrown it away.
Woo-Jin walks over and closes the drawer of the chest.
Then he bends down and opens a lower drawer and takes out the framed picture and places it on his desk.
Young-Mi.......... Those were good times.
She smiles awkwardly ...
Woo-Jin opens a different drawer in his desk and takes the security video tape out, holding it up to Young-Mi.
Woo-Jin............ It's this one ...
Young-Mi looks up but doesn't say anything.
Woo-Jin............ Hold onto it.
Young-Mi shakes her head.
Young-Mi.......... Put it somewhere no one can find it.
Woo-Jin puts the tape back into the drawer and walks away from the desk.
Young-Mi carefully notes where he put the tape.
SCENE: Hyung-Chul's car, night
As Hyung-Chul drives, he glances pensively across at Sun-Mi.
She ignores him, staring straight ahead, uncommunicative.
When he stops the car for a red light, Hyung-Chul tries to placate what he thinks is the problem.
But Sun-Mi is fixated on her belief that he has broken up with her, and she was the last to know.
Hyung-Chul....... I understand if you're upset.
Sun-Mi.............. (sharply) I'm not upset!
Hyung-Chul....... Then why are you acting this way?
Sun-Mi.............. How should I act? Am I the one who created this situation?
Hyung-Chul....... Look, I'm sorry about your corner on Eve's Morning, okay?
Sun-Mi.............. Why be sorry? -- "We're a broadcasting company" -- Right?
He recognizes she is throwing his own words -- from a previous argument -- back at him.
|
FLASHBACK [Previous scene from Episode 10 ]
Sun-Mi........ Why don't you support your own staff? Instead you hire famous personalities. Why?
Hyung-Chul. How can we produce programs that no one watches? We're a broadcasting company ...
|
Hyung-Chul....... Yes, and that's why I hope you're not taking it personally.
Sun-Mi.............. (bitterly) Why should I? We don't have that kind of relationship anymore, do we, Director Yoon?!
Hyung-Chul....... Jin Sun-Mi, there you go again with "Director Yoon"! -- And you said you're not angry?
Sun-Mi.............. Don't I have a right to be, after what you did?! Making me look like an idiot?!
Hyung-Chul....... What are you talking about?!
Sun-Mi.............. (sarcastically) You're asking me?!
The light changes, and traffic starts moving again.
He takes a deep breath, and calms his voice, hoping for a reset.
Hyung-Chul....... Look, I don't want to argue with you tonight.
Sun-Mi.............. (testily) What's there to argue about? Isn't it already decided?!
Hyung-Chul looks over at her tiredly, his expresssion totally clueless.
Seeing his worn face, Sun-Mi regrets her sharp tongue, and offers an olive branch ...
Sun-Mi.............. Sorry. I'm tired. It's been a long day for me, too.
Hyung-Chul....... Let's talk about it when we get there, okay?
Sun-Mi doesn't reply, turning to look out the passenger side window.
Hyung-Chul glances at her with guarded relief. At least for now they've called a truce ...
SCENE: Woo-Jin's bedroom, night
Young-Mi walks over to the desk and picks up the framed picture Woo-Jin had just placed there.
Young-Mi.......... You claim to love me, yet act as though you don't trust me ...
She puts the picture down.
Young-Mi.......... It that because you despise me for what I've done? ... Or who I am, like your mother and Sun-Mi?
Woo-Jin............ Young-Mi ...
She turns to face him, distraught.
Young-Mi.......... You could destroy me with that tape, yet I trust you to keep it for me.
....................... Can't you see I'm not so evil, that I want to be a good person? Won't you believe me?
Woo-Jin reaches out and draws Young-Mi into his embrace.
Woo-Jin............ I'm sorry ...
Woo-Jin............ I'll stay beside you. I promise.
Young-Mi.......... Will you love me, too?
Woo-Jin............ Forever.
Woo-Jin kisses Young-Mi, first on her forehead, then her lips.
Young-Mi.......... I need to know that, right now, more than ever ...
She moves her arms up, around his neck, and they begin kissing amorously ...
SCENE: CREAM Cake House, night
Sun-Mi and Hyung-Chul take a table in CREAM Cake House and order fruit drinks.
He scrutinizes her closely, for any hint of a thaw, but Sun-Mi remains silent, avoiding eye contact.
After their drinks arrive, Hyung-Chul attempts to pick up where they left off in the car.
But Sun-Mi is still focused on her mistaken belief that he has broken up with her.
Hyung-Chul....... I don't know why things turned out like this.
Sun-Mi.............. Senior, you don't have to do this. It happened ...
She looks up at him apologetically.
Sun-Mi.............. Because of me.
They both recall that morning by the River Han when she informed him of her decision to step back and help Woo-Jin.
Sun-Mi.............. I made things hard for you. I told you I had to take care of another man.
....................... So I even asked you to wait for me.
She sighs regretfully.
Sun-Mi.............. I can't believe I did that.
Though Sun-Mi blames herself, Hyung-Chul doesn't for doing what she thought was right at the time.
But he does want to know if it is possible now for them to get back together again.
However, she hears his questions through a different filter, which makes them seem both irrelevant, and accusatory.
Hyung-Chul....... Is there still something you need to do?
Sun-Mi.............. (no response)
Hyung-Chul....... Do you still have feelings for him?
Sun-Mi.............. (no response)
Hyung-Chul....... Do you want to end things with me?
Sun-Mi nods the affirmative -- Why cling onto him, when the decision is already made and out of her hands?
Shocked by her unexpected response, Hyung-Chul catches his breath as his hopes die.
They both fix their eyes on the table, Hyung-Chul wondering what to say, Sun-Mi waiting for him to say it.
Sun-Mi.............. If you have nothing left to ...
She moves to get up, but he interrupts to hold her back.
Hyung-Chul....... I do ...
Taking a deep breath, he buys a few seconds to think.
Sensing that to press further may make things worse, he switches to an issue where they can find common ground.
But Sun-Mi's thoughts are still wrapped up in her feelings, and once again they talk past each other without realizing it.
Hyung-Chul....... I'd like it if you didn't reject being the Art Club Emcee, because of Eve's Morning.
Sun-Mi.............. You act like you're concerned! But you tell everyone that we've broken up behind my back ...
Pausing for a breath, she gives him one last chance to be straight with her.
Sun-Mi.............. Senior, how do you truly feel?
Hyung-Chul....... It's a great opportunity for you.
At this, Sun-Mi's ire erupts ...
Sun-Mi.............. What does it matter to you?!
Hyung-Chul stares back at Sun-Mi, bewildered as to what has set her off so vehemently.
Three long seconds of silence ensue, while she waits for his reply.
Finally, Sun-Mi decides continuing on with words is pointless. Maybe, taking action will force his hand.
Sun-Mi.............. See ya ... Good bye.
She gets up and walks away.
This time, Hyung-Chul doesn't try to stop her, deciding for now to let Sun-Mi cool off first, and to try again tomorrow.
SCENE: Outside CREAM Cake House, night
Leaving the cafe, Sun-Mi hurries down the stairs.
SCENE: Woo-Jin's bedroom, night
Young-Mi and Woo-Jin lie together in his bed.
Woo-Jin............ Let's tell Mom when she comes back in the morning.
Young-Mi.......... No, it might be a shock to her. It's better if she accepted me first. And what about Sun-Mi?
Woo-Jin............ Sun-Mi will be okay with my decision. I'll have her talk with Mom, too.
Young-Mi.......... (irritated) Can't you do anything without Sun-Mi?!
Woo-Jin............ It's not like that. I just thought if anyone can convince Mom to change her mind, it's Sun-Mi.
Young-Mi.......... I don't want Sun-Mi involved with anything in our lives! I don't like her, or trust her!
He sighs, deciding to drop the issue for now.
Woo-Jin............ Let's not argue, and get some sleep ...
SCENE: Outside CREAM Cake House, night
At the bottom of the stairs, Sun-Mi stops to catch her breath.
She looks up, hoping to hear the footsteps that signal Hyung-Chul has come running to her, like before ...
|
FLASHBACK [Previous scene from Episode 12 ]
Sun-Mi........ I thought you wouldn't come to me again.
Hyung-Chul. It's okay now. Everything's going to be all right ...
|
Slowly, harsh reality sinks in as her hopes fade ... He isn't coming for her.
Sun-Mi.............. (to herself) It's over ... Senior really has let me go.
After Sun-Mi walks out, Hyung-Chul remains seated at their table, with something stronger to drink ...
He rehashes over their conversation, wondering how things had so quickly gone wrong ...
|
FLASHBACK [Previous scene from this Episode ]
Hyung-Chul. Do you want to end things with me?
Sun-Mi ....... �( silently nods the affirmative )
|
It dawns on him that this time it felt different, that Sun-Mi may just have walked out of his life for good.
Hyung-Chul....... (to himself) Is it finally over?
He lifts the tumbler and guzzles whiskey down like water, then picks up the bottle and pours himself another.
Her hopes dashed, heartbroken, Sun-Mi runs off, no longer able to hold in her tears.
INTERCUT SCENES: Hyung-Chul's villa, Sun-Dal's bedroom, night
Hyung-Chul's Apartment
After returning home, Hyung-Chul's first move is to pour himself a stiff drink.
Then he calls his long-time friend and business colleague.
Sun-Dal answers sleepily ...
Sun-Dal............ (V.O. on the phone) Hello?
Hyung-Chul....... It's me.
Sun-Dal's Bedroom
Sun-Dal is lying in bed, half asleep.
Sun-Dal............ Who's "me"? Director Yoon?
Hyung-Chul....... (V.O. on the phone) See, you know me.
Sun-Dal............ What time is it? Why did you call me when you know I have a show in the morning?
Hyung-Chul's Apartment
Hyung-Chul....... Well just ...
Sun-Dal............ (V.O. on the phone) Did you see Sun-Mi? Have you two made up?
Hyung-Chul sits down.
Hyung-Chul....... I met her ... But it was just a meeting.
Sun-Dal's Bedroom
Sun-Dal............ Then you didn't tell her to stay at the morning show?
Hyung-Chul's Apartment
Hyung-Chul....... That's a good thing for her. I can't let my feelings stop her.
Sun-Dal............ (V.O. on the phone) If you didn't, then hang up.
Hyung-Chul....... Don't hang up ... Don't hang up. Comfort me for just five minutes.
Sun-Dal's Bedroom
Suddenly wide awake, Sun-Dal sits up, worried.
Sun-Dal............ Hyung-Chul?
Hyung-Chul's Apartment
Hyung-Chul smiles sadly and takes a sip from his drink.
SCENE: Sun-Mi's bedroom, night
After returning home, Sun-Mi takes solace among familiar words in her mother's diary.
Sun-Mi.............. (V.O.) "Some say that a one-sided crush is still love, but you can't clap with only one hand."
....................... "Being loved by someone you love ... how I long to know this feeling."
Sun-Mi.............. (V.O.) "I gave my heart sincerely, and though my love was not returned, I do not regret."
....................... "I must be steadfast in hope, and trust in Love. Because without love, what meaning has life?"
She puts down the diary and sighs deeply.
SPLIT SCENE: Hyung-Chul's and Sun-Mi's bedrooms, night
Later, Sun-Mi and Hyung-Chul lie awake in their beds, unable to sleep.
It is a long night of reflection and regret over "what might've been" before dawn brings a new reality ...
SCENE: MBS building exterior, morning
Morning arrives with a crystal-clear blue sky, portending a day of bright, cheerful sunshine.
SCENE: MBS atrium balcony, morning
Inside MBS, the central atrium is empty and quiet before the day shift begins.
Arriving early for work, Sun-Mi and Cho-Jeh meet up in a corner of the atrium's balcony on 4F ...
Cho-Jeh............ (yawning) What's so important that you dragged me in early?
Sun-Mi.............. Stop complaining. I paid for coffee, didn't I?
Cho-Jeh............ Even so, it better be a big deal!
Sun-Mi.............. It is ... Director Kim asked me to emcee his new cultural program, Art Club.
Cho-Jeh............ Wow! Are you going to take it?
Sun-Mi.............. I have to give Director Kim my decision today. I'm thinking I will.
Cho-Jeh............ Then what are you asking from me?
Sun-Mi.............. Your opinion. Do you feel I'm ready for a show this big?
Cho-Jeh............ Why not?
Sun-Mi.............. So far, I failed to get good ratings on any TV program. Why should this be any different?
Cho-Jeh............ Don't be so down on yourself ... This time could be different, Sun-Mi!
....................... You've always liked museums and performances, all that arty stuff. It's a natural for you.
She makes a fist and raises it in encouragement.
Cho-Jeh............ (excitedly) Hwaiting!
A slight smile at her friend's antics cracks Sun-Mi's serious demeanor.
Sun-Mi.............. Thanks. I feel more confident now, having your support.
Cho-Jeh............ But ... just a minute ...
Her brow creases as further thoughts twist through her mind.
Cho-Jeh............ But if you're going to Director Kim's program , what about Director Yoon?
....................... Aren't they rivals to be the next President of MBS?
....................... Then that must mean you've ...
She grabs Sun-Mi bythe arm before completing her thought.
Cho-Jeh............ What aren't you telling me? Did you have another big spat with Director Yoon?
Sun-Mi averts her eyes.
Sun-Mi.............. Er ... it's nothing like that ...
Cho-Jeh............ Then, what?
Sun-Mi.............. Just ... last night ... we ended it.
Cho-Jeh............ Ended what?
Sun-Mi.............. Senior ... and me.
Cho-Jeh............ (loudly) You what?! Broke up with Director Yoon?!
Sun-Mi.............. Shhhh! -- Everyone doesn't need to hear.
Cho-Jeh............ But breaking up is a Big Deal! Why didn't you tell me this first?
Sun-Mi.............. Did I say we'd broken up?
Cho-Jeh............ No, but what else would you call it?
Sun-Mi.............. Can two people break up, if they never had that relationship to begin with?
Cho-Jeh............ Whoa, where did you get that from?
Sun-Mi.............. Let me explain my thinking ...
Sun-Dal and Joo-Hee are also meeting before the work day begins ...
Sun-Dal............ At one AM this morning, I got a call from Hyung-Chul.
Sun-Dal............ We talked for over an hour before I had to hang up and get some sleep!
Joo-Hee............ Why woud Hyung-Chul call you at that time?
Sun-Dal............ Because he was drunk. Apparently he and Sun-Mi have split up.
Joo-Hee chuckles.
Joo-Hee............ Again?
Sun-Dal............ I know what you're thinking. But this time, he's taking it harder.
Joo-Hee............ Should I talk with Sun-Mi? Last time, it seemed to help.
Sun-Dal............ Wait and see if it blows over first. But let's keep close tabs on any developments.
Joo-Hee............ All right. I'll watch Sun-Mi.
Sun-Dal............ There's a lot riding on these next few months, with the Board vote coming up.
Joo-Hee............ My father said their program results will be a major factor in the selection evaluation.
Sun-Dal nods.
Sun-Dal............ So we have to keep Hyung-Chul focused on the business first ...
SCENE: MBS atrium balcony, morning
Meanwhile, Sun-Mi and Cho-Jeh are continuing their conversation ...
Sun-Mi.............. A lot has happened over the past few days ...
....................... First, Senior cancelled my corner from Eve's Morning, because I was hurting the ratings.
....................... After that, behind my back, he starting telling people we'd broken up.
....................... Then last night he had the gall to ask if I wanted to break up with HIM!
Cho-Jeh wrinkles her nose.
Cho-Jeh............ Eew! What a jerk! ... So what did you say?
Sun-Mi shrugs.
Sun-Mi.............. What else could I say? I thought it was my fault that things had become difficult between us.
....................... I'd been so equivocal, making him wait for me, even while I almost married Woo-Jin!
....................... But it was what he said next -- that I should go to Director Kim's program -- which got me thinking.
Cho-Jeh............ Why would he do that?
Sun-Mi.............. I asked myself the same question, especially since he felt I wasn't good enough for his program.
....................... And that's when it all became clear ...
She takes a sip of coffee.
Sun-Mi.............. While I was seeing myself as a modern-day Cinderella, to Senior I was an Eliza Doolittle.
Cho-Jeh............ Huh? Eliza who?
Sun-Mi.............. You know, from the American musical My Fair Lady with Audrey Hepburn?
Cho-Jeh............ Oh, sure. But what does that have to do with Director Yoon?
Sun-Mi.............. Like Professor Higgins did with Eliza, it was about winning, putting a feather in his cap.
....................... Senior was looking for someone he could support to become a top broadcast celebrity.
....................... Probably he chose me because I was the worst in our batch, so he could boast about the challenge.
Cho-Jeh............ You really think that's likely?
Sun-Mi.............. Looking back, why else could I pass the training class and get into MBS after failing the exams?
....................... And how else could I get such plum program assignments? Or not be fired when I should have?
....................... Even my radio program's success is due to Senior -- the concept is from the postcards he'd sent me.
Cho-Jeh............ Okay, even if your theory is right, why would things suddenly change?
Sun-Mi sips her coffee contemplatively before answering.
Sun-Mi.............. Senior had scolded me before, saying I needed to work harder to become a top celebrity.
....................... He must have been frustrated with my slow progress and repeated failures.
....................... But if he marries Park Su-Jin, he can get control of MBS -- so I became a spare tire to him.
Cho-Jeh............ Now that he had a real Princess, he didn't need Eliza any more?
Sun-Mi.............. Right. So he sends me off to Director Kim, expecting that I'd fail in the ratings there, too.
....................... That way he gets rid of me, and knocks Director Kim from the running for President, in one move.
Cho-Jeh is amazed.
Cho-Jeh............ You're claiming Director Yoon plotted your entire career, and is using you as a pawn in his schemes?
Sun-Mi.............. I know, it sounds like I'm writing a drama, but what else could explain everything that's happened?
Cho-Jeh............ Thinking like this, you still want to go on Art Club?
Sun-Mi nods.
Sun-Mi.............. Why not? What do I have to lose, even if I crash and burn in a ratings debacle?
....................... At least, I'll have tried to fight back, instead of just resigning and slipping quietly away.
....................... And if Art Club becomes a big success, it will show Senior that he was wrong about me.
....................... I'll prove that I'm good enough for him, so maybe he'll want to take me back, like before.
Cho-Jeh stares at Sun-Mi incredulously.
Cho-Jeh............ Huh? You'd still go back to that jerk after being treated like this? Are you crazy?!
Sun-Mi.............. I must be. Crazy in love, that is.
She sighs deeply.
Sun-Mi.............. I know I'm a fool to feel like this. But I can't imagine living without Senior by my side ...
SCENE: MBS corridor, late morning
Young-Mi loiters outside the executive conference room doors, waiting for the meeting inside to end.
The door opens, and as Hyung-Chul comes out, she starts walking toward him.
Noticing Young-Mi, Hyung-Chul stops to greet her.
Hyung-Chul....... Good morning, Announcer Huh.
She nods politely.
Young-Mi.......... Director Yoon.
They start walking together toward the lift lobby.
Young-Mi.......... I'm glad I ran into you.
Hyung-Chul....... Hmm?
Young-Mi.......... It's about the Gala.
Hyung-Chul....... Can we discuss it at the next meeting?
Young-Mi.......... I wanted to hear your opinion first.
One of the lift door opens, and Sun-Mi steps out.
At first she is surprised to see Hyung-Chul together with Young-Mi.
Then it dawns on her that they must have become closer while she was hospitalized, as he now is confiding in her.
The situation is awkward, but Sun-Mi has to face Hyung-Chul eventually.
She stops, dipping her head respectfully.
Sun-Mi.............. (stiffly) Director Yoon.
Taking advantage of the unexpected opportunity, Hyung-Chul hopefully extends a feeler.
Hyung-Chul....... Can we have a few minutes, in my office?
Sun-Mi.............. No ... I have another appointment.
She doesn't elaborate, reluctant to reveal more in Young-Mi's presence.
Not giving up, Hyung-Chul raises a questioning eyebrow, a tacit prompt for her to continue ...
Sun-Mi.............. With ... Director Kim.
He nods approvingly, reasoning that if she was willing to take his advice, then he may still have an opening.
Hyung-Chul....... Good. Let's talk later, then.
But she turns a cold shoulder to his invitation ...
Sun-Mi.............. What's there to talk about? Haven't we said enough already?
Her terse rejection takes him aback.
Hyung-Chul....... Umm ...
Sun-Mi.............. (curtly) I'm going first. See ya.
Not giving him a chance, Sun-Mi abruptly turns and walks away.
Watching their awkward interaction and hearing Sun-Mi's destination, Young-Mi silently gloats over her success.
Young-Mi.......... (V.O.) They really have broken up now!
After Sun-Mi is gone, Hyung-Chul checks his watch before looking over at Young-Mi.
Hyung-Chul....... It's almost noon. Have you eaten yet?
Young-Mi.......... Actually, I haven't had a break all morning.
Hyung-Chul....... Why don't we discuss this over lunch in the cafeteria?
The invitation is exactly what she was hoping for.
Young-Mi.......... Yes, I'd like that.
SCENE: Director Kim's office, late morning
Sun-Mi and Director Kim Eun-Ki are seated at his office conference table.
Eun-Ki.............. I'm glad you decided to join the program, Announcer Jin.
Sun-Mi.............. I promise to work hard, Director Kim.
He smiles and nods.
Sun-Mi.............. Good! Let's get down to business then.
He places a folder in front of Sun-Mi.
Eun-Ki.............. This is the season's program plan. It's an outline -- the details are still to be worked out.
Sun-Mi picks up the folder and starts to flip through the pages.
Eun-Ki.............. Be prepared to discuss your recommendations first thing tomorrow with the PD and writers.
Sun-Mi.............. Yes.
Eun-Ki.............. We'll have a daily meeting at eight in my office until the premiere. Any questions?
Sun-Mi.............. When will I meet the production team?
Eun-Ki.............. Shortly ...
[ Intercom buzz ]
He presses the TALK button.
Eun-Ki.............. Yes?
Secretary.......... (V.O. on the intercom) President Park is here.
Eun-Ki.............. Send her in.
He returns his attention back to Sun-Mi.
Eun-Ki.............. I hired an outside consultant, Unique Sophistique, as the style director.
Sun-Mi.............. Style director?
Eun-Ki.............. Responsible for the entire visual presentation. You'll be working closely together.
He rises from his chair, preparing to greet their visitor.
Eun-Ki.............. She'll accompany you for a tour of the new studio set, and get you oriented with the team.
The door opens, and Su-Jin enters.
Eun-Ki approaches her, hand extended.
Eun-Ki.............. Come in. You look fantastic today, as usual.
Su-Jin............... Why, thank you, Director Kim.
She loosely grasps his hand for a moment.
Meanwhile Sun-Mi stands up, looking on in disbelief at who her new work colleague is.
Eun-Ki.............. President Park Su-Jin, this is Announcer Jin Sun-Mi, our program emcee.
Stepping forward, Su-Jin greets Sun-Mi with an assured smile.
Su-Jin............... Announcer Jin Sun-Mi, we meet again ...
To Be Continued ...
