‘On Air’ Episode 18 Summary

May 10th, 2008 | By Jackie | Category: (SBS) On Air

At a bar, Jang was having a drink & calls Agent Kim out.

Agent Kim: I just like this trade about you. I like you, so I shall tell you this first hand that you about to swallow a bitter pill. Don’t be alarmed. Seung Ah, there is a “video”

Jang is shock

Jang: What? Have what?

Agent Kim: What’s the feeling having to swallow such a bitter pill? Bitter medicine is hard to take, isn’t it?

Jang: Crazy. Crazy like hell. Tell me what you have just said? What does Seung Ah has?

Agent Kim: Video, it means a pornographic tape. It is fortunate that not many people know about this. I am for one, Sang Woo who took it, the one who was being film, Seung Ah & now just you. It is just the four of us.

Jang smash his whisky glass & cuts his hand. Agent Kim is taken by surprise at Jang’s reaction

Agent Kim: What are you doing?

Jang: Is there one? Is there one? In this world is there such ravings & not talking bull shit (the word actually dog shit). Is there one?

Agent Kim: Understand. I understand. Just look into your hand first

Jang: Have you seen it? Have you seen it for yourself? Hyung, did you personally see it with your eyes?

Agent Kim: It’s worrying. I never want to harm her, just want to protect her

Jang: Answer me! Have you seen it or not?

Agent Kim: Yes. Seen it? What can you do?

10 years ago. This was taken a day before Oh meet Jang & the whole hotel suite incident. SW Entertainment’s office. Casting shoot of Oh Seung Ah. It was just CEO Jin & Oh Seung Ah. CEO Jin was looking at this casting tape when he came in looking for CEO Jin; this was while he was still working for him.

CEO Jin: We shall shoot your profile first

Oh: Yes. How is this going to shoot?

CEO Jin: Even without lighting (it is artificial lighting, most photographic needs some sort of artificial light to enhance the quality of the filming, Oh Seung Ah had a very natural photogenic beauty that even without them she looks to good to be film), you are just as fine. You parents?

Oh: Don’t know, I can’t remember clearly about my parents? From 3 years old, I was raise up in an orphanage

CEO Jin: You are very diligent. Strip your clothes

Oh: What?

CEO Jin: Strip. I don’t wish to see a stripy show; I want to see your contours of your body.

Oh takes her backpack off, then her jacket & started unbuttoning her shirt. It was until the 3rd button

CEO Jin was seeing the tape tentatively. CEO Jin then realizes that Agent Kim was present & then quickly switches off the TV. Both men were uneasy

Back to the present

Agent Kim: You definitely wouldn’t believe. It is too bad that I have seen it when Sang Woo was watching the casting tape. Off shoulder, innocent stripping, very beautiful, very soft skinned.

Jang grabs Agent Kim by the collar

Jang: Shut up & listen carefully. Although I don’t believe you, if I find out that this is false, you will die in my hands.

Agent Kim: You brat. If you don’t believe, go & ask. No matter to whom, Oh Seung Ah or Sang Woo, just go & ask

At Jang’s car. Jang banging his injure hand on the steering wheel with frustration, recalls again what Agent Kim said

Agent Kim: If you don’t believe, go & ask. No matter to whom, Oh Seung Ah or Sang Woo, just go & ask

Jang drives off & in midway brakes to vent his anger at the street screaming.

Seo’s office. Seo being told by PD Yun on the ban on SW Entertainment.

Seo: What? The station chief did what?

PD Yun: Ban SW Entertainment’s artiste from SBC, whether it is Entertainment or any variety programs.

Seo: It cannot be. It cannot be so. It will ripple to greater problems.

PD Yun: Yes. So that is why I came? Why don’t you try & persuade this from happening. If they reap benefit, I will gladly support this with praise & applause. But if this drags on, it will just affect our company & SW Entertainment but our drama as well will be badly affected by this action. We all will be finished.

Broadcast station. Chief in deep thought over this morning incident. Lee comes in & brings Soju & snacks. Lee & Chief having the drinks.

Chief: Drink.

Both men bottom up & Lee pours for the Chief & in turn Chief does the same.

Lee: I’m sorry

Chief: There is nothing to be sorry about. It is my decision to make. SW Entertainment & I to have to come to blows to end this. Don’t worry if I get reprimanded for this, it will just be a letter of resignation, and it will do. If he is get creamed & reprimand, he will personally come & admit defeat.

Lee: CEO Jin is not that kind of person who will admit defeat. It is better that I will take the responsibility.

Chief: What responsibility?

Lee: Tomorrow, I will meet with CEO Jin…

Chief: Then?

Lee: I will think of a way if we could settle this reasonably & peacefully

Chief: Then what if you find a way? Writer Seo will she change her script?

Lee: If it was Writer Seo & I to protect our egos, to let you resign. It is not ego, but mere stubbornness. She will understand.

Chief: You worry about yourself first. Why worry about me?

Lee: Thank you that you are standing behind us. Now I should take up the responsibility

Chief: Lee Kyung Min, Water flows downwards. If I force the flow for my benefit, I will not continue to work here. I should come forward & resign, isn’t it? Actually, this is what my principals when I became Station Chief, because I am definitely sure I will come across with this kind of situation. You just do well in the shooting of the drama.

Seo rushes in. Chief is surprise to see Seo

Chief: What wrong with this team of people? Writer & PD are not working? What aren’t you working on the script?

Seo: Chief. Don’t be this way; don’t make this matter any worse. I never realize it will lead to this. Just because CEO Jin was rude & mentioned some unruly words, but this is getting too far. You have gone way out of line. I will go & see CEO Jin & will settle this. There shouldn’t be any problems from now on. Rest assured, I will settle this. How can we win over artiste & also…..

Chief: Both of you, are you in lead in this together? Come & sit. Drink.

Seo: Chief?

Lee: Ah! Writer Seo don’t drink Soju. No matter I have already informed my views to PD Lee. I’m off

Seo: Chief. Why are you doing this? It’s my fault.

Chief: Why change your stand? Just is that irritating melodramatic Writer Seo you are now. Ah! Tomorrow don’t read at the internet & newspapers. It will full of exaggerating reports.

Chief leaves

Seo: Chief! Why are you doing this? Aren’t you going to allow this to scale further into chaos?

Lee: It is already chaos. Let’s leave.

Seo: PD Lee?

Outside, bench.

Lee: What the Chief said is correct?

Seo: What did he say?

Lee: Didn’t you hear him? Writer Seo is an irritating melodramatic woman.

Seo: Now you are making fun? What are we to do?

Lee: Just let it be. There are times if we work on it, it will make matter worse. Just let it settle by itself.

Seo: Before it is settling, other PD will have come to replace you. If I am that PD, will I be able to tolerate of this situation? The ones who are worst off will be you & the Station Chief. I’m extremely….worried about this

Lee smiles.

Lee: I will endure. But before tomorrow night, you need to finish working all the 5 versions for me. Let’s leave. Where is your car parked? You have made me discover the idiom “Safely home”

Seo: Is there time? I need to hurry back to finished writing the script. I’m off.

Oh goes home to see Jang’s car & see his anxiety on his face. Jang comes out of his car when he sees Oh

Oh: Aren’t you off work? Why are you here, waiting here? Didn’t I give you the password code? Let’s just go in

Oh goes in but Jang just stood there

Oh: Why? Is something the matter?

Jang turn around

Oh: Is this because of Cherry? I just went to see her? She is just faking it. I also had been through these experiences before. Come in.

Jang takes her hand & brings her close to him & hugs her. Oh is taken by surprise on his action. Woman’s intuition know that something is the matter

Oh: Why? What is there to worry?

Jang didn’t say anything. Oh look at a very emotional Jang

Oh: Look at me. What is going on? Look at me!

Jang look at here

Oh: What is it?

Oh sees Jang’s injured hand

Oh: What’s with your hand? What happen to your hand? Who did this? You had a fight? Why? Why are you acting this way?

Jang: I have said this before; I knew where your house was. I always thought you may never open that.

Oh: Manager Jang is it true? Did you? Is it really that Manager Jang has ever given me that?

Jang: Compile it into a mess? My craftsmanship is substandard.

Oh started to cry

Oh: You have always, have always look after me, always looking out for me throughout?

Jang: When you are beautiful, when you are irritating, very weary. Such is a day that it is getting higher that the last. Each day is getting further than the last. You just flew away.

Oh: Ajusshi?

Jang: Why didn’t you come back sooner? Why didn’t you come back a day sooner?

Oh: Why are you being this way? What had really happened?

Oh & Jang just stood there.

The next day. Newspaper headlines fills with SBC ban SW Entertainment. CEO Jin is angry by the reporting. Asst Kim rushes in.

Asst Kim: CEO Jin, have you seen the news. It is chaos out there

Asst Kim phone rings

Asst Kim: Hello….Ah! With SBC….that….they is the ones who are attacking us.

CEO Jin snatch the phone

CEO Jin: You are such a stupid idiot. What are you saying? Didn’t I say that all staff should keep silence on this? Get out. Get out!

Cherry reads the news from the hospital

A group of broadcast staff having a discussion on the day’s headline. Lee overhears them.

Staff 1: What is going on? Is Lee Kyung Min the only SBC PD? What are we?

Staff 2: I have said, it is because of that drama, that the artiste has banned us. All the negotiation, & was ready to sign the contract. What is going on?

Staff 3: Entertainment Department is more chaotic. Entertainment Chief Choi is getting all work up.

Staff 4: Isn’t this mad? Just to settle Kyung Min’s issue, that leads to this

Staff PD: Why are you people all acting up this way? Do you think that this is because of Kyung Min, that the Chief did this?

Staff 1: If it is not that, then what?

PD Staff: Frankly speaking, SW Entertainment have been asking for it & brought it onto them on this matter. You all have experiences before with them. Jin Sang Woo is acting as though he is the owner of the Broadcast Station. He allow to have a newcomer to be the main female lead. When signing the contract this he oblique this & that. In the end he wants to produce the OST as well. I feel that the Chief have done is correct. Use this opportunity to make them see.

(3 cheers for Staff PD Noh who stood up for Lee Kyung Min, he was seen very nasty on his comments about Lee Kyung Min in the earlier episodes)

PD Song: Are you saying this for me to hear?

PD Staff: Are you here? I didn’t see you were here? Am I not wrong?

Staff 2: I totally agree. But why should this crop up at this very moment. I was so ready to sign that contract.

Staff PD: Look at you. Why so selfish? Don’t we have just this work to shoot? This time, we should stand united as a group to battle this through with them. I have known this from the beginning that it will come to this, that is why I don’t use them.

Jang goes mountain hiking & Oh is trying to reach him on the phone.

Oh: Why aren’t you answering your phone? Where are you now? Tell me what’s going on? I should at least know what then I should know how to go about it? Why are you taking the all the burden of responsibility on your own? I’m now on location. This is the 9th time I calling. If you take the 10th time. We finished here. I will not let you off the hook.

Jang reaches the summit & takes a drink; He then recalls

Jang confronts CEO Jin

CEO Jin: Leave. I don’t feel like answering you. If you have known earlier that I have asked her to strip.

Oh went she came to his office prior to the Hotel suite.

Oh: If you want it this way, I will follow what you say. If this obstacle I need to pass through, I will do it.

Agent Kim mentioned the “video”

Agent Kim: You definitely wouldn’t believe. It is too bad that I have seen it when Sang Woo was watching the casting tape

Phone ringing in Seo’s office. Seo looks stoned; her Asst had to unplug all phones.

Oh is having her make up. Door knock & it is Lee. Oh asked the staff to leave them alone for discussion

Lee: I want to discuss certain things with you.

Oh: Yes, you all may leave us for a while

Staff leaves

Lee: You may have seen the news. We will ban (delete) Cherry’s part & continues to shoot

Oh: Do you think by doing this way, is too direct. How can you delete someone who is my sister from Episode 1 to 4? The audience will laugh at it. Even if it is not done well, but at least utmost effort was given. No matter what, we need to persuade her to return to the set

Lee: CEO Jin will definitely think of that. “You cannot ban an artiste. You have to listen to me.” We have been through some difficulties. We have thought it through, I, Writer Seo & Chief to make this prudent decision.

Oh: I also know that the perspective views between the production & artiste is not the same. I can understand Cherry’s feeling. Don’t misunderstand that I understand Cherry, doesn’t mean I condone CEO Jin. So PD Lee is there by chance to lessen my screen time & use it for Cherry. Will that not change the standoff?

Lee: It will not change anything. She will have to wait for then. There will be plenty of scenes for her.

Door knocks. It is Asst PD Choe

Asst PD Chloe: PD, Please come quickly to the set

Lee: I will be finished here soon. You can carry on.

Asst PD Chloe: No. Hurry to the set.

Lee & Oh rushes to the set & see that Cherry have come to the set

Cherry: PD. I’m sorry for all the trouble cause. There will be no more of these incidents happening.

Lee: Did you come alone? Does your office know that you are here?

Cherry: No. I came here on my own accord. I don’t want let go of Eun Sok, I will definitely wish to carry on playing her, however my Manager is not an idiot… the matter as it is, he knows very well that he can’t continue to be stubborn. This even I just stupid also know. If this can’t be, then delete my part off. Eun Sok because of depression commits suicide, isn’t it Senior?

Oh: Are you the Writer now? Don’t you still don’t want to listen?

Cherry: Why? Didn’t you make me scare for me to come here?

Oh: Greeting?

Cherry: What? Ah! How are you?

Oh: It is not to me. PD Lee, Cameraman Hong, Lighting PD, all the cast & crew. Sent your greeting properly

Cherry: Yes. Sorry. I’m sorry. I will become a better artiste. I’m sorry. It is just a while of insanity. I’m sorry. I don’t want to be just an artiste but an actress. I’m sorry that I am immature. I will change. I’m sorry. I will give my utmost effort. Forgive me. I’m sorry

Everybody laughs

Cherry: I’m sorry for your worries

Lighting PD: Of course, there is something to be sorry. So after this you may not have a reflector

Cherry: What? Lighting PD, for an actress the reflector is a life accessory. I’m sorry.

Cameraman Hong: After this, Cherry shooting scene will be shot not too well. PD Lee doesn’t blame us.

Lee: Of course. Let’s start shooting

Cherry: PD!!!!

Everybody went back to their places

Oh goes & washes her hands & ponder where Jang is, tries to look at her phone to see if Jang return her call. She recalls

Jang: Why didn’t you come back sooner? Why didn’t you come back a day sooner?

At the location, Cherry asked Asst PD Choe where is Lee

Cherry: Where PD?

Asst PD Choe: He is with the Station Chief. Ah! He’s back

Cherry: What did the Chief say?

Lee: After we wrap up for today’s shoot, we need to gather together.

Cherry: What? Why?

Lee: I don’t know. Just go & prepare for the shoot.

Cherry: PD. Wait a moment. Writer Seo because I was sorry, I dare not call her. Actually yesterday, she came to me.

Lee: Where? The hospital?

Yesterday at the hospital where Cherry is. Cherry is surprise at Seo’s visit.

Cherry: I have informed PD Lee. I have nothing to say.

Seo: I know, because I was bored & wanted to take a stroll for some fresh air that is why I came her?

Cherry: Coming here for a stroll?

Seo: Writers are humans too. There are times when artiste will hate writers. Frankly speaking, you are not suitable in the casting I had in mind. That is why I dislike you. Just like the 1st time I met you, the time you “trespasses” my office. I’m sorry that I was overboard. It is not because I’m writer, because I’m a person who is not cool headed & compose. I’m very easy hurt someone else’s feelings without knowing what to say any kind words. I have an over 10 years old child. I thought I could write something that he would be ashamed, that is why I did it. So there is greed in it. I’m sorry. Don’t know if you believe me. Eun Sok & Cherry are both beautiful, I wish to tell you this, that why I came over. This is must sure be a coincidence in order this to be a dream. It is just what Seo Young Eun saying. Does she think that I’m an artiste? Rest well. Ah! Your training outfit is very pretty, must be branded.

SW Entertainment. Asst Kim rushes in. CEO Jin setting off to go somewhere

Asst Kim: CEO Jin….that

CEO Jin: What?

Asst Kim: Cherry, because of the shoot, returned to the set.

CEO Jin: So?

Asst Kim: What?

CEO Jin: Do you think that the war is between Cherry & the Broadcast Station? How long have you been in the business? You have been in it for years, you still don’t understand me. Do I need to teach you one by one?

Asst Kim: Eh?

CEO Jin: Return to the set. Just write a report on it? Do I need to write the contents?

Asst Kim: No need?

CEO Jin: Today, the contents better make sure you handle it well. I have already negotiated with SBC. Give Dream House the remittances of the 100 million. I’m off for lunch

CEO Jin is meeting Jang for lunch at the restaurant.

CEO Jin: Why? What is isn’t settled? Haven’t you heard? Cherry have return to the set herself. It has been slightly embarrassing but the outcome is not too bad.

Jang: Return?

CEO Jin: Aren’t you because of this matter that you are pestering me or it there some other auxiliary disgusting moral conduct that you want to see me about? What with your hand?

Jang hides her injure hand

Jang: Hyung!

CEO Jin sneers at the address

Jang: Why do you dislike Seung Ah so much? I dislike you, but each time I see you, I will get angry with you. However I don’t dislike Cherry. I see her tired, I worry about her. Hyung, do you worry about Seung Ah?

CEO Jin: Have you been taking something wrongly lately?

Jang: I still don’t know why Sun Yun did it? If Seung Ah was still continued to be with you, would she had….

CEO Jin: You brat

Jang: Why did she commit suicide? Is it because of that K matter? At that time, didn’t I take her out? What exactly did you do to her?

CEO Jin grabs Jang by the collar

CEO Jin: Shut up! What do you want to know? What is the reason behind the suicide? That is not the 1st or the 2nd time. Don’t you know? I’m gangster I warn you don’t continue to agitate me. Don’t allow this gangster to get angry, or else you & Seung Ah will not see daylight.

Jang:

CEO Jin leaves the restaurant

Seo is working on the script. Asst gets a call

Asst: Wait a moment. It is a call from the set.

Seo: Give me 2 hours. No just an hour.

Asst: No it is not that. PD said to ask you to stop writing & come to the set

Seo: Go to the set? Why? What had happened?

“Ticket to the Moon.”

Eun Sok looking at the photograph where Eun Young & Eun Sok were children

Cut Ok

Asst PD Choe: Episode 5, Scene 48. Inside Eun Sok’s car. Set change. You have come

Asst PD Choe acknowledges Seo’s present on the set. Crew greets Seo. Lee goes to Seo with cherry

Lee: You have come

Cherry: How are you?

Lee: She has return to the set since this afternoon. I was busy with the shoot, so I was late in calling. She is a person with great sense of responsibility. Don’t you know?

Cherry: Yes, I’m sorry Writer Seo.

Seo & Cherry having a quiet moment together

Cherry: Do…you dislike me very much? I was wrong to have thought of it.

Seo: It is not wrong to think this way. There is nothing wrong with it. If I knew earlier, why didn’t you return yesterday? Save me the trouble. I’m in the midst of changing the script, alter & change, front & back. Don’t know how many time I toss & turn on it?

Cherry: I’m sorry. From now onwards, I will not be so, definitely will not. Even if there is 1 episode with just one scene. No. Even id there isn’t any; I will definitely not do so.

Seo: Fine. If you have this attitude, it will be alright. From Episode 9, why don’t you rest for 4 episodes?

Cherry: What? No….that….yes. I understand

Cherry sulks & Seo smiles

Seo: There is always tomorrow

Cherry: What?

Seo: I thanked you for coming back. Hurry! Don’t you have a scene inside a car?

Cherry: Yes

Cherry bows

Cherry: I will give my utmost effort on it.

Cherry runs off for her scene. Seo is relief. Lee comes & sits with her

Lee: I wish to let you see with your own eyes that she has indeed return. Let you be more at ease in writing the script. So I ask you to come. It is coincidence that this is nearby your office.

Seo: Anyway if it is not nearby, you would have asked me to come, isn’t it?

Lee: I should think so

Seo: He had another woman. It was approximately started after when Chun Yu was born. However for me, it was until when Chun Yu was 3 years old that I knew of it. It was a heavy storming day. I received a call from a publisher. It is one of the small London publishers. At that time, I was very happy, flew in quickly & arrived home…..I saw a person who has the looks of Annette Benning, so beautiful woman lying on my bed. My mother has said it before. No matter what the bed must definitely need to be the best. That bed, my mother use her savings from the ramen restaurant to buy, stroke & stroke, wash & wash, personally went to help me to select this trousseau. When my husband drag me out. He said they were just friends, said there were just talking. Said that the woman was a University Professor. He asked me not to be deliberately provocative about it. At that moment, my feelings were force to kick up the row. I’m just like that. It ended. I’m a stupid woman

Lee: Let me do it. Do you want me to help you to get revenge?

Seo: How to revenge?

Lee: I buy you the new bed. If your sealed heart is ready to open.

Seo laughs then fall short when she realizes that Lee is holding to her hands.

Lee: Thank you. Thank you for using these soft hands of yours to write such a heart warm script. Thank you for telling me that painful story. If that, understanding person today has any slight fault, he will definitely be dead. It is really frustrating

Seo: Why should you be venting anger on Asst PD Choe?

(Seo doesn’t mean Asst PD Choe literally)

Lee: Don’t you want to say anything to that understanding person? Today I can help you introduce him to you?

Seo: What?

Lee: Today, Station Chief wants to treat everybody for a meal. So the venue, I will decide. I will help you increase your revenue for higher profit.

Seo: What?

The party at Seo’s mother restaurant. Everybody attended.

Chief: The matters are actually filled with hurdles. Now we have broadcast till Episode 4, the rest we still have 12 more episodes to go. We need to make great effort & stride to go on to finishing well. Because of this, everybody raise their cup & drink up

Lee hinting to Seo to have her introduced her mother to him. Chief goes & pour Seo a drink. Chief have brought vintage liquor. Oh on the other hand wasn’t in the spirit of the mood

Chief: Writer Seo

Seo: Yes

Fat lady: You have said it so great; we should be having something more expensive to eat

Chief: What are you saying? Do you know how expensive this liquor is? This is a 30 years old vintage.

Lighting PD: Really! You want to blow your own trumpet have its limitation. The bottle is stated at 21 years.

Chief: What you don’t know, don’t say anything? This liquor was bought 9 years ago.

Chief serves to Lee

Jang: I’m sorry. I’m late

Jang comes in.

Chief: Welcome. You are just in time. The rest of this is for you. Cheers.

Jang: Aigoo! This is expensive

Oh looks at his still bandage hand

Jang: This isn’t the bottle bought 9 years ago, kept in your collection, had stored for 30 years?

Jang goes & take a sit. Oh just looks (stare) at him

Chief: come. Now let’s us drink up to our full contend. PD Lee, give us a few words

Oh looking at Jang

Lee: Yes? Ah! Yes

Lee stood up. Everybody gave applause.

Lee: Now that we have come to this journey to the Moon together, however we need to go on to that Moon. There is no sweet scented osmanthus or jade rabbit waiting for us, just scientific knowledge of our arts as our strength. Lately I have often have given much a thought. What it is our drama, will people believe in it? In the Moon, really is there sweet scented osmanthus or jade rabbit. This is not a drama that draws strength from that. From out heart loving drama “Ticket to the Moon” until the day we reaches that Moon, we all have to work hard to strife for it.

(It is a legend of a myth that the moon, there live a rabbit & the moon smells of sweet scented osmanthus. In the Chinese version there is also a lady in the Moon named Seong Er.)

Everybody applauded

All: Drink!

Seo in deep thought, Lee nudged her for a drink. Jang smiling at Oh. Oh doesn’t look pleased.

Party mood goes one step higher. Karaoke time.

Fat lady singing Korean version of “I will survive” She has good vocals. I read she is a singer. Everybody having a rave of a time. Only Jang & Oh looks somber. Fat lady finished her song

Fat Lady: Come, everybody down there. Now we invite our Production hero PD Lee on to the stage.

Everybody cheers Lee onto the stage. Asst PD Choe gave him the list but Lee scuffs it aside.

Cameraman Hong: So hard to get him onto the stage & he memorize the number song already.

Lighting PD: If he doesn’t say it well, he is dead meat.

Lee sang a jive twist song with a 60s beat to it. Everybody running on stage to dance. Seo is drag up to partner Lee in the twist. Jang & Oh look like the most bored persons in the party

Jang sent Oh home. They were sitting in the car.

Oh: Is there something that you are concealing from me? What is it?

Jang: There isn’t any?

Oh: It is written all over your face. There is. If you said there isn’t, does it mean it had been settled? Do you know what; today I make how many times call to you?

Jang: This is not a good habit. Change it. When there is no response, you should take it as “there is a reason for that non response”

Oh: So I am now asking what the reason is? The hand is already injured as such, even it takes a day, you should at least come back early. What you are saying this, is there any logic to it?

Jang: Go in. You are tired. I’m also tired too.

Jang leaves the car. Oh follows

Oh: Are you going to being like this?

Jang: Sleep well. I’m off

Oh stop him by holding on to his ”injured” hand

Oh: Medicine? Have you applied?

Jang: It is stitched. I went to the hospital to have it stitched.

Oh: Why is the injury so bad

Jang: I am just about to know, could you let go of my hand

Oh: What?

Oh then realize that she is holding to his injure hand. Oh release it & Jang was in pain.

Oh: Why didn’t you say it in the 1st place? Are you alright?

Jang: Tomorrow, you have to shoot well

Jang is still showing sign of pain. Oh & Jang laughs

Ticket to the Moon

Ready

Starter Action

Eun Sok brings her sister Eun Young back to her house, much to displeasure of Eun Sok’s mother.

Eun Young: How are you? I’m happy to meet you. I’m Go Eun Young.

Eun Young looks round the house

Eun Sok’s mother: Are you really…?

Eun Sok: She is my sister, Mother. She is my sister.

Eun Sok’s mother is not too pleased

Eun Young: However, Unni, the house is just this big

Eun Sok: Huh?

Eun Young goes & measure

Eun Young: 1…2 (slides) 3. It is just 3 steps wide. It is strange. It is like Alice in Wonderland.

Eun Sok & her mother don’t really know what to make of Eun Young.

The next scene. Eun Young runs out of the toilet in desperation.

Eun Sok: Why? Eun Young, what wrong?

Eun Young: Unni. What to do? The toilet seat doesn’t have a jet spray washer.

(It is a jet spray that washes the butt after a big one)

Eun Sok: Jet spray washer? Our house doesn’t have that.

Eun Young jumping

Eun Young: Don’t have? What to do? Unni, I can’t hold it any longer, you need to buy a jet spray washer.

Eun Sok & her mother can only look at Eun Young moaning & groaning

Eun Young: What to do? What to do?

Seo’s office. Seo goes to the medicine box & looking for pain killers for her headache.

Seo: Aden until now, is still very cold upfront, because he still it is vet much an inconvenience to him, until something happen to change that. Don’t know where shall it come in? When does he start to open up? Where should it be?

Asst: How about when he knows how much Eun Young is worth?

Seo looks disgusted at Asst’s slapstick suggestions

Seo: Have you seen the pain killer?

Asst: why don’t you sleep on it? Doctor’s advises it is better that having medication.

Seo: I take it first anytime. Hurry & look for it for me.

Seo busy writing the script & finally Episode 10 is ready

Meanwhile Jang merger is coming along well, with many parties interested in his concept.

Asst PD Choe at the Photostat machine while Staff Pd is reading the newspaper.

Staff PD: “Ticket to the Moon” The rating is sure dropping. It must that one who is influencing it. Retard as the main concept is a bit too savvy. Oh Seung Ah, beautiful but limitation in acting ability. Now this is already hot news. It will definitely drop. Episode 5 is 16.0%, Episode 6 is 13.4%, Episode 7 is 12.7%, and Episode 8 is 12.5%. It is an average of 12%. With the strong guns like Seo Young Eun, to have rating like this.

Asst PD Choe: What with just 12%. Staff PD, you are not even that.

Asst PD Choe leaves

Lee: I take my leave

Seo looking at the internet news. It doesn’t look promising. Asst busy typing.

Seo: What are you doing?

Asst: Nothing.

Seo: Aren’t you typing? What are you typing?

Asst: It will make you angry, no need to read it. However I have just read & I will not let them off easily.

Seo: What is it?

Asst: Netizens having field days with exaggerations & it is awful. It says that quality of acting is bringing down this stupid drama. I will not let them off the hook.

Seo: Don’t do it.

Asst: But?

Seo: Don’t! Don’t do it

Asst: Yes.

Test message comes in. It is Chun Yu

Chun Yu: Mother, you need to make an effort. It was meaningful yesterday & today. I felt something that I wish to be like Eun Young, an obedient child

Seo is happy reading it & move her to tears

Asst: Are you alright?

Seo: Hmmm. My Chun Yu said that he felt meaningful. What you just been typing, carry on. Make sure you let them have it. Who said it is a stupid drama.

Asst: You are right. They are all dead

Oh is reading the news from the net on the critics of her acting abilities.

Asst: Unni. Don’t need to read that stuff? Manager Jang has already asked you not to? I will switch it off

Oh stop hers & carry on reading. Jang comes to the set to see all the crew is waiting idle

Asst PD Choe: Can you please persuade Oh Seung AH. We have been standby for an hour. Oh Seung Ah said she will go & have made up. She is in the make room at least an hour & still not seen yet

Jang: Where’s PD Lee?

Asst PD Choe: He got angry & went to the make up room.

Jang was on the way when he meets Agent Kim

Agent Kim: Aigoo! Look who we meet. Is your hand alright? It looks deep.

Jang: Why are you here? Why?

Agent Kim: I have some affairs here. I have artistes who having meetings here. In passing, just paying a visit to Oh Seung Ah. We will be family soon, it is right that I should be concern about her well being. Where is the make up room?

Jang grabs Agent Kim & pin him to the wall & punches the wall closes to his face

Agent Kim: Frighten me! Why are you waving punches at me?

Jang: Do you know why I didn’t hit you? I still don’t believe you. But because it is you, I will just say this. No matter what, what I believe it or not, I will not let you off. You hear me!!!!

Agent Kim having drinks with an Investor

Agent Kim: Drink

Investor: Isn’t it a little too late? Now Jang’s merger has gone through & they will be up for business.

Agent Kim: What have they got to start a business? There is no investment.

Investor: Why can’t they have? Now they have how many artistes under their portfolio. I heard Sing Gung Conglomerated have raise interest in them. I trusted you to give my investment to you

Agent Kim: I said that they never get that investment. Jang Gi Joo having Oh Seung Ah, that why there is confidence. Oh Seung is currently facing dangers herself. Just wait a while; there will be something big that is going to happen.

Investor: Something big is going to happen? What is it?

Jang: When? Where is this rumours originated from? From where?

Reporter: Why are you asking me? I came because of this matter? Anyway everybody is waiting for it. It look like a storm is about to brew & there is no way of stopping it now. Is there really none? Hyung, if you say it is, I will take it as so.

Oh’s house. Oh serving beverages

Oh: You should have call before coming unannounced

Jang: I now want to ask you a question? If I am wrong, you can hit me.

Oh looks at Jang

Jang: If I ask & it is an actual fact, you can also hit me.

Oh: What is it?

Jang: You…have you shot “it” before, that you are not supposing to?

Oh: You are talking without head or tails

Jang: Is there none? Can’t been seen by anyone? You have never shot “it” or not?

Oh: What are you trying to imply. What is it? Are you saying about a “video” that kind of “it”? Is that it, is that what is all about?

Jang: Hmmm

Oh looks at Jang

  1. thank you. i’ve been dying for the summary!

  2. me dying too. LOL . Many thanks

  3. Thank you so much for the summary. Could you please tell me how the rating is calculated? I’m just like Seo’s mum in this matter ( feeling ashamed when have to say that!). Thanks again!

  4. thank you very much, I waiting for next EP.

  5. I think basically the companies that do some sort media research do it this way. There is a machine that is placed in a suitable household selected as a representation of the population. The company will send you a notice that you been selected and a small fee will be given out to participate. Frankly, I have never heard any of my friends being selected until my office colleague said she did get a notice but declined in the end.

    In my country where the population is 27 million only 600 households selected as the sample of the population. I am not sure what is the sample size in Korea and Seoul is. I believe it was mentioned by Lee’s mother to Seo’s mother that only 2,000 household in Seoul had the control over the ratings. Seo’s mother was calling her friends and getting to leave their TV on as a indication of viewership of the drama.

    So when the selected household wants to watch a particular drama and show on TV, they have to press this machine to indicate they are watching the show.

    A drama that hold over 20% is already deemed as a success. The Korean TV stations I believe use a TNS source.

    I hope that answer your question. For further reading, I got this off a viewership rating by Nielsen
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nielsen_Ratings
