Love Barista (2025) Movie Script

Jun-woo, finish signing the last one and let's go.
(Welcome back to Vietnam, Jun-woo)
We've allocated a maximum of three hours for the shoot.
We still need to take some still photos.
Change it to not taking them.
Let's take them, let's take them.
Change it to taking them.
But why is it exactly the same as the commercial from five years ago?
It's too childish, tell them to change it next year.
Next year?
But it is indeed quite childish.
Let's just shoot a car commercial next year, how about that?
Is anyone looking to collaborate?
No, I'll ask around slowly.
Jun-woo should do something related to steel, like cars.
How about airplanes? Airplanes.
"Love Barista 2025"
Hello?
What's wrong?
Dad went to the farm.
Don't let him go no matter what.
Otherwise it will get worse.
I know.
The competition is today, right?
Yes, today.
You remembered?
Don't tell Mom and Dad before the competition results are out.
Got it?
If I win, I'll tell them myself.
I know, good luck, sis!
Okay, thank you.
Vietnam Coffee Challenge
Now officially begins.
Contestants must finish making it within five minutes.
Well then, let the competition begin.
This machine...
What's wrong? Is it stuck?
- I... I don't speak Vietnamese.
- Okay.
It gets stuck here often.
What's the setting... on your grinder?
- 1.2
- 1.2
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
- Is this okay?
- It's fine.
Good luck.
Sweeter than love.
Okay, cut!
Great, very good.
He's currently on a diet, please translate that for me.
Director, he said the actor is on a diet.
Great job, everyone.
Oh my god.
Thank you, thank you.
Oh my god, you even prepared a cake.
Okay.
(It's been a real pleasure working together these past five years)
Thank you for these past five years.
Five years... thank you?
- Just smile, smile.
Thank you, thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you, thank you.
- Thank me?
Hurry up and smile.
- Kang Jun-woo!
- Kang Jun-woo!
Jun-woo.
Contract ended.
That commercial you said sucked, you shot it for five years.
It's finally a wrap.
You really worked hard.
It's not a big deal, why didn't you say anything?
I didn't say anything because it's not a big deal.
Don't you hate trivial things?
- Do you want me to report everything?
- Better not say anything.
Oh my, our great actor Kang.
Just focus on acting now, okay?
Cheer up.
Okay.
Come in.
Yeon-ji!
She's here.
Turn this way.
Okay, turn this way.
Didn't I say we could only use one table?
The boss is coming soon.
Any comments on my outfit today?
You call that looking good?
Sigh, you really don't understand fashion.
This is the hottest style right now.
That's right, it's totally Korean style.
How does it look like it?
I really can't deal with you.
Besides coffee, you really don't know anything.
It looks messy.
Try wearing this one.
Yay!
Hey.
How was the competition?
Yeah, what were the results?
Hey, answer us.
Don't even need to think to know.
Thao, being a busybody is a disease.
I heard it was his first competition.
I couldn't just watch him get disqualified.
But just for that reason...
You're going to give up the chance to go to Italy?
Yeah, if you won you could've gone to Italy to study!
You could learn more about coffee.
And even get certified.
And check out handsome Italian guys.
I told you before you're too silly.
Why are you always thinking of others?
Then thanks to whom...
can you shoot here for free?
Am I too nice to you guys?
I only drink the coffee here...
In Ho Chi Minh City,
the coffee here definitely ranks in the top three.
- Hey.
- Hmm?
What do you mean third place?
The coffee Thao makes is definitely number one.
You're here?
Great star Kang, good job today.
Everyone, clean up later.
Please step out for a bit, okay?
Great star Kang, your exclusive watermelon juice.
Enjoy.
Order me another glass.
You want to drink another glass?
This one glass has 250 calories.
No, just order a liter.
You just need to run for four hours, I'll time you.
Forget it.
Really? Then you won't order it?
So, any news from Director Lee Won-seok?
Not yet.
He's so dilly-dallying, like a weasel.
Why on earth did you suddenly bring up the ending?
Even though it's my first time acting in a romance film...
(One week ago)
But I've always been very interested in it.
I think romance films best reflect human values.
They can dig deepest into human nature.
You must be busy, so I'll get straight to the point.
What do you think of the ending?
I really like it.
- You can be honest, let's have a relaxed chat.
- Okay.
It's all very good...
But the ending...
Is a little ambiguous.
You see, Director.
I said it needed to be more straightforward.
In a situation where you don't know if the other person accepts it...
Just blindly going over there...
Jun-woo,
You're so busy, so you haven't dated much, right?
What? I suppose so...
No matter how busy you are, you should date.
- Let's call it a day.
- Okay, thank you for your hard work.
Jeong Han-cheol, if you dare to... next time...
Show me a script like this, just try it.
I'm your fan.
Thank you.
Jun-woo hyung, Jun-woo hyung.
I have something urgent to show you.
Show me later.
Scared me to death.
Sorry.
Because this news just came out.
Turn it around.
What?
I can only see it if you turn it around.
(Director Lee Won-seok's new project in preparation)
(The next person to step onto the Cannes Film Festival red carpet?)
(From Kang Jun-woo to rookie Cha Do-hoon, popular actor candidates)
(Tan Son Nhat International Airport)
I asked, the cast hasn't been finalized.
It's just gossip, pure rumors.
If it's just a rumor,
why is the news so detailed?
Making it seem like I'm competing with Cha Do-hoon.
At least find someone on a similar level to compare with.
Exactly, I don't know why they wrote it like this.
Ask about it when you get back later.
Brat, get lost.
- You're really clueless, get lost.
- What? What's wrong?
This is the venue change approval application for the fan meeting.
Give it to me, let me see.
What are you doing?
Is it the venue in Ho Chi Minh City every year?
We slightly changed the venue.
We want to do something new, give everyone a fresh feeling.
Can we fill all the seats here?
We're just a little short of filling it.
No, there are only about 5,000 seats there.
- It seems to be 5,180...
- What?
Oh, the echo at the last venue was too loud.
When you sang it was all buzzing,
we couldn't even hear what you were singing clearly.
And it just so happens that crappy venue is fully booked this time.
Hey, Jeong Han-cheol.
You don't want to do this anymore, do you?
Not at all, I'm very happy right now.
Back then you failed your exams and idled at home all day.
I let you sit in the director's seat.
And now you just want to eat, drink, and play? Right?
Everyone is watching, let's talk about it later.
So what if someone is watching?
You drive a Mercedes because of me.
Wake up, you jerk.
And what about you?
If it weren't for me, you'd be a hoodlum right now.
Hey.
What?
Stay away from me.
I told you to stay away from me, get lost.
Damn it.
- Oh my god.
- What happened?
Tissues.
- Oh my god, it's serious.
- Get away.
We didn't hit him very hard.
It was just a scratch from a fingernail.
Get away.
It wasn't even full.
Your fan meeting...
Last year we also had to give out half as comp tickets to fill it.
Even though we lost money, we gritted our teeth and went through with it.
You know, a lot of fans nowadays...
Yeon-ji.
Yes, I'm coming.
Cancel the fan meeting, I'm not doing it.
17 million followers?
That many fans?
What's this?
(Cha Do-hoon and Kang Jun-woo, join the same agency)
(Actor Cha Do-hoon and Kang Jun-woo, join the same agency)
(Exclusive contract signed with actor Cha Do-hoon)
Damn it.
Why is this here with me?
You can't board the plane without this, right?
Right.
Occasionally people get on the plane without a passport, right?
Wow, oh my god, it's over...
It's about to take off now, right?
This is over...
I'm not going to shoot for the next few days, just letting you know.
Please adjust the schedule for me.
Is it because of Do-hoon?
I was planning to formally introduce you when you got back to Korea.
So for Director Lee's project,
the one you want to push is Cha Do-hoon.
How could I decide Director Lee's project?
- Forget it...
CEO, Do-hoon is here.
I need to cool off, don't look for me.
You... didn't get on the plane?
Damn it, I'll let you suffer a bit.
Huh?
Damn it.
I didn't bring my wallet, damn it.
Great, this is enough.
Thank you.
This really requires a physical card...
(How to withdraw money overseas)
This really requires a physical card...
(Fruit Smoothie)
(Pork Ribs)
What would you like to drink?
Watermelon juice.
- Okay.
- Five glasses.
Five glasses?
A total of 250,000.
Ah, money?
They all look the same...
I'll help you.
Here.
Fifty thousand.
One hundred thousand.
One hundred fifty thousand.
Two hundred forty thousand.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thanks.
Over 50,000 VND for a glass of watermelon juice?
Damn it.
Watch where you're going!
What an incredibly rude woman.
Damn, this was limited edition.
Damn it.
No!
Hey.
(Pawn Shop)
Don't look at me like that.
I promise I'll get you back.
Two million VND.
I'll give you two million VND for it.
Two million?
Two million VND?
If a watermelon juice is 50,000 VND...
Five times four is twenty.
That's forty glasses in total.
If one glass is 5,000 won...
200,000 won? Are you kidding me?
This is a limited edition Rolex Yacht-Master.
Do you understand?
Solid gold.
Solid gold.
Pure gold model, real gold!
Fine.
He obviously doesn't know Rolex.
Oh my god.
Look for yourself.
M-mine is authentic...
This is worth a fortune, and you're trying to rip me off.
Isn't there a decent place around here?
Fifty thousand, fifty-five thousand, sixty thousand...
I should've only had one watermelon juice earlier.
What would you like to order?
I'll have noodles, please.
Which kind of noodles?
Um...
Pho.
Okay.
One small pho.
Amazing.
Hey.
This.
Thank you.
- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.
Oh my god.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?
I-I'm sorry.
Look what you did.
I'll get a towel.
Are you Kang Jun-woo?
Um...
Can I get an autograph? I'm your fan.
No, I'm sorry.
Right now I'm...
Damn it.
Where did she go?
Hey!
It's barely late and they're closed?
Hey, I'll take the two million VND!
Two million VND, fine!
Rolex master, please save me!
Good work today.
I'm heading off.
Hey!
Fix it.
I'm really sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It won't even turn on now.
Where are you from?
Where did you come from?
I asked where you're from.
I'm from Korea.
Korea.
You... you don't know who I am?
(Sorry, I'll take you to get your phone fixed tomorrow.)
(It's too late now.)
Let's meet here tomorrow.
No...
You can't just leave like this, can you?
It's really late right now.
What?
Wait a minute.
Hold on.
This...
Wow, unbelievable.
Everything was going so well today.
I was wondering where it all went wrong.
It was you.
What are you talking about?
Don't you remember?
Watch where you're going!
This shirt, and this phone.
Your fault, twice!
All my money is on my phone.
But you broke my phone.
I have no money, no hotel.
Am I supposed to sleep on the street?
No money?
It's not that I don't have it, it's on my phone.
Money.
No hotel.
Fine, fine.
(I'll help you find a place to stay tonight.)
That's right, that's more like it.
You finally understand.
What kind of day is it today anyway?
This way.
What?
I said this way.
Hurry up.
Come on, how is there a hotel in a place like this?
Hey...
Excuse me, do you have any rooms left?
A six-person room is two million VND.
A single room is three to five million VND.
The two million room is fine.
For two people?
Just for that gentleman.
Okay.
I can't sleep here.
Why not?
I can't stay in a place like this.
What are you saying?
I'm a really, really famous person.
- Check me out.
- Hey!
This way.
Follow that person.
- I can't...
- Get over here quickly.
I got it.
You really don't know who I am?
- Hurry up, come on!
Okay.
Hurry, hurry, follow me.
Hurry up!
- Here.
- I...
Go in quickly, good.
Good night.
- Kang Jun-woo, Kang Jun-woo!
- It's Kang Jun-woo!
- Kang Jun-woo!
- It's Kang Jun-woo, Kang Jun-woo!
Damn it.
Here.
What?
Seriously...
Huh?
This is where I work.
It's a nice place to sleep.
It's cozy and comfortable.
Comfortable my foot. How can anyone sleep here?
Could you sleep here?
Of course.
Why not? If I can stretch my legs, I can sleep.
Is it funny?
Sorry.
Whatever.
A postcard...
Jun, Woo, Kang...
Oh my god.
Is he really a star?
(Kang Jun-woo)
No way...
Oh my god.
They must be searching everywhere for me right now.
Let them have a headache for a bit.
He's too handsome.
He seems like a totally different person.
Good morning.
Not a good morning.
Here are some change of clothes.
I see, okay.
Does it have lace?
Am I seeing this right?
They're flowers!
- What did you say?
- Flowers!
I'm going crazy, are these wings?
Can I fly if I wear this?
- What is this?
- Are you Kang Jun-woo?
What?
You're Kang Jun-woo, right?
Look at my goosebumps.
Do you have a split personality?
You pretended not to know me yesterday.
You didn't pay for these, did you?
They said these are the best sellers.
Aren't you going to leave?
What?
I'm taking off my clothes.
What?
Get out.
Ah, sorry.
The screen is completely cracked.
And there's water damage inside.
How much is the repair cost?
It'll be pretty expensive.
The motherboard needs to be replaced.
How much?
3.3 million VND.
- 3.3 million?
- Yes.
Do you still want to fix it?
- Yes, please fix it.
- Okay.
How long will it take?
Three days?
Really? It'll really take three days?
Never mind.
Rushing won't make the parts arrive any faster.
What's the point of going back so soon?
Going back just means seeing a bunch of eyesores anyway.
I'm really sorry.
It takes time to repair.
Then you're responsible for taking care of me for three days.
Three days.
Take care of me, got it?
You.
Take care of me.
Three days.
- Okay.
- Good.
The number you dialed is turned off.
Please leave a message after the beep.
You're keeping it turned off, huh?
Fine, fine.
Let's see where you can run off to.
You brat, you can't escape my grasp.
Really?
He's not here.
Sorry.
Check again, please.
Look it up, Kang Jun-woo.
The name is Mr. Kang Jun-woo.
Haven't you seen him?
Didn't you see him?
Sorry, I haven't seen him.
Thank you.
Where should I go?
Where did she go?
Do you have any plans?
Plans?
This is a city sightseeing map.
Thanks.
There are really a lot of places to visit in Ho Chi Minh City.
What's your name?
My name is Thao.
"Tao."
Thank you, Tao.
It's Thao.
"Tao."
Thao.
Ah.
"Thao."
Perfect.
Have a good time.
Aren't you coming with me?
I can't.
I have to go to work now.
See you later.
Okay.
What's wrong?
You don't have any money, right?
You are really a nice person.
And very thoughtful.
- Have a good time today.
- Thanks.
- Bye.
- You too, Thao.
Okay, where should I start?
Why am I so excited?
Hey!
Please show your ticket.
Where is your ticket?
Sorry, I can't take photos with you.
No, no.
Ticket.
Ah, ticket?
I...
Why would Kang Jun-woo be here?
- Is every tall guy Kang Jun-woo?
- Sorry.
He might come here to play too.
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
Can I take a picture?
Sorry, I'm on vacation.
Smile!
Thao.
Thao!
Why are you so late?
Did you have fun?
Yeah, it was alright.
I really can't sleep in the storage room anymore.
Look, I even got a rash.
I have a good idea.
Give me your phone.
(Take me to the Renaissance Hotel)
(I'll figure it out once we get there)
Kang Jun-woo.
There's a better place than a hotel.
You don't need to take a taxi.
Huh? I want a helmet too.
Here, I have another one.
How could this happen?
What a waste of time.
Damn, it's so far away!
Where are we going if not the hotel?
It's just up there.
You said this place is better than a hotel?
It's definitely better than a hotel here.
My god.
Just make yourself at home, relax.
My home isn't like this at all.
Really?
You're so shameless.
- Hello, we're here!
- Hello!
What do you mean the clothes are too short?
I brought some other clothes first.
Why did you come over without telling me?
What are you trying to say?
When do we ever tell you beforehand?
Can we go outside to talk?
Stop joking around, who kicks out friends who came over?
Wait, wait.
- I feel like something fishy is going on.
- You guys just go home.
Do you have a hair dryer?
He...
He looks so familiar.
Who is he?
- A hair dryer?
- Why is he here?
Never mind.
I don't have any Korean friends.
Why would I think he looks familiar?
- Kang Jun-woo?
- Yeah, Kang Jun-woo!
- Kang Jun-woo!
- Oh my god, it's Kang Jun-woo!
Please, you guys calm down.
Sorry, I'm just too excited.
But why is he here?
Jun-woo, where on earth are you?
I'm worried sick.
Are you eating well? Sigh, this guy.
- Come on in.
- Come in, come in.
This is the clothing store I run.
Jiang is in charge of inventory management here.
He also made the clothes himself.
- That's right.
Simply put, I'm the boss, and Jiang is the designer.
- That's right.
- Oh, a designer.
- Welcome, Jun-woo.
- Welcome.
Is this right?
So handsome, so handsome, handsome guy.
Jun-woo oppa, so handsome.
- Jun-woo, I love you.
- I love you.
Oh, stop it.
Jun-woo, I love you.
I like you so much.
You're my friend, I really like you.
I'll show you some clothes.
- Wait a minute.
- What's this?
So sudden?
What's going on? What are you doing?
Oh my god.
Looks so good.
Jun-woo oppa!
Awesome.
- Really super handsome!
- It's not that exaggerated.
Take a picture, take a picture.
- Really?
- Yeah, really.
Smile!
Jun-woo oppa, I love you!
Wow, this isn't a dream, it's real!
I usually only take pictures of you.
This is my first time seeing a real model!
Ready?
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
- One, two, three.
Oh my god, Jun-woo oppa!
- Come on, it's not that exaggerated.
- Jun-woo oppa, I love you!
A week?
But I only have three or four days.
Is there no other way?
What's wrong?
The customer keeps rushing me.
iPhone 15?
The motherboard is broken.
- I happen to have one at home.
- What?
That's great!
Then help me fix it.
You want it for free?
Alright.
I'll let you borrow the screen for a week.
Here you go.
Thanks.
Ugh, so tacky.
(Cha Do-hoon)
What's this?
The reason is simple.
Do-hoon's perspective on interpreting scripts is very fresh.
(Cha Do-hoon handpicked as Director Lee Won-seok's go-to actor)
Do-hoon's perspective on interpreting scripts is very fresh.
It's sharp,
and quite brilliant.
Some talent just can't be reached
no matter how hard you work at it later on.
That is Do-hoon's unique charm.
- His unique charm.
- That weasel-like guy!
Oh, the atmosphere has totally brightened up.
He's on a completely different level, right?
Forget about Jun-woo, let's start nurturing new blood now.
That guy is already going downhill, pretty much done for.
Just ignore him.
Ugh, let's not mention Jun-woo hyung.
Just trust me now.
Damn it.
He's only sleeping here for one night.
Sorry for the trouble.
Thao.
You should go home.
Why? I'm helping you fold boxes.
Are you stupid?
That's Kang Jun-woo.
You should be with him, why are you here?
Tell him, "I have nowhere to go."
"There's only one bed."
What nonsense are you talking about?
Hey.
Stop dreaming.
There's a rumor that he plays for our team.
Just because you like him,
you think he's gay?
What do you know?
That's not fake news, it's very reliable information.
What do you think?
Do you think he's gay?
- Not talking about that.
I'm asking how the Prince himself really is.
He's Asia's Prince, you know!
Prince?
He's totally a burden.
I'll pay you back.
I don't have money.
You have to untie this before giving it to me.
- Get on the scooter first!
Not considerate at all.
I'm Kang Jun-woo, Kang Jun-woo!
I'll pay you back double.
Triple, I'll pay you back triple!
Ah, give me some money.
Money, I'll pay you back.
No cash? You have a credit card, right?
Credit card.
Give me the credit card.
Please.
Thao.
Thao.
Thao, I'm begging you.
You have a credit card.
Let me borrow it, Thao.
Use it sparingly.
Okay.
Relax.
Don't worry.
Trust me.
Cheer up!
Cheer up my ass.
(Transaction Amount: -257,620)
(Transaction Amount: -257,620)
I'm going out for a bit.
Sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Did you think I got that card for you to use?
Didn't you say I could use it?
I didn't even do much, just had a few glasses of juice.
I wanted to walk around, but I didn't know where to go either.
I can provide you with room and board.
But if you want to spend money, earn it yourself.
Go to work.
Me? You're telling me to go to work?
Yes.
What am I supposed to do? I'm going to go crazy.
Did you forget?
I'm Kang Jun-woo.
So you don't have to work?
I will pay you.
50,000 Vietnamese Dong per hour.
50,000?
Is watermelon juice the currency unit here?
I'm not doing it.
No!
You're not doing it, huh?
Fine.
Fine.
Damn it.
I'm not doing it.
I can't do it.
Why do I have to do this?
Where did she go?
Two hot lattes.
Enjoy.
- Wow, it's so pretty, it's a heart!
- So pretty.
Wow, you're working pretty hard.
- Me?
- Yeah.
Good job.
You're eating way too much.
Oh my god.
What?
I thought I would be eliminated.
The coffee competition.
I got third place.
Third place?
Third place in the coffee competition?
- Yeah.
- Wow, congratulations!
- Oh my god!
- Congratulations!
I can go to Italy now.
You're going to Italy?
Wow, congratulations, congratulations!
That's wonderful, congratulations!
- Thank you!
- Thank you!
Let's go celebrate!
My treat.
No, I didn't mean to just give you the money.
Thao, I meant let's use this money to have fun!
- The money is mine now.
- No!
- Wait!
(Professional Mobile Phone Repair)
Let me take a look.
Oh, you're Korean too?
What are all these?
Is this a fan?
But these look like selfies.
Thao?
I meant let's go celebrate!
Why are you here?
When do you ever take a break?
What?
Um...
When are you taking a break?
A break?
Yeah.
Do you know how much a Starbucks Americano costs?
Starbucks?
I don't know, probably...
5,000 won? Why?
Why do you ask?
Coffee prices go up every year, but...
The price of coffee beans keeps dropping.
Weird, right?
That's why I can't rest.
What does that have to do with taking a break?
It'd be nice to be like you.
So popular with everyone.
All your dreams must have come true, right?
Are you happy when you work?
When acting.
You're an actor, after all.
I am happy.
I love it.
This is another type of coffee bean I'm testing.
Try it.
You want me to try?
But I can't drink coffee.
The English word for insomnia is...
No sleep.
Can't sleep?
You can't sleep?
Right.
Alright then.
Wait a minute.
It's fine.
It's fine, not sleeping for one day won't kill me anyway.
This smells really good.
It definitely has award-winning potential.
Out of everything I've tasted here...
Out of everything I've tasted in Vietnam...
This is the best.
Awesome.
It's really delicious.
- Is it good?
- Yeah.
- Is it really that good?
- Hey!
Hey, make another one for yourself.
I drank from this one.
I'm going to drink it all.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
It suits you.
It looks good.
The clothes look good?
I removed everything on the clothes.
It looks good because I'm wearing it.
You should untie this first.
I think I've said this more than once or twice.
- Thoughtful, this is called being thoughtful.
- English, say it in English.
Untie the straps.
Let's go.
The fuse box is over there.
Power outage.
- Power outage?
- Yeah.
- It'll be back soon, right?
- It will take a while.
The cafe has to close for today.
(Temporarily Closed)
No way.
This is a sign from God.
Today is a holiday.
Huh?
Let's go have fun.
Not just anyone can be my tour guide.
Hurry up.
- Hurry up?
- Hurry up.
Okay.
Hey, wait a minute, right now...
It's too fast right now!
- Okay.
- It's too fast right now!
Jun-woo, do you know what this is?
- I don't know, what is it?
- It's a small boat.
This exhibition area is about a hero.
A very, very young hero.
His name is Ly Tu Trong.
Over here.
Done.
Very nice.
Your turn.
- Never mind, I don't want to.
- Then let's take one together.
One, two, three, smile!
Banh Mi.
You have to add this to make it tasty.
Try it.
How is it?
- They match well, it goes great with cilantro.
- What?
Awesome.
It's delicious, right?
- Can I try it on?
- Of course.
- You try it.
- I don't need to.
It's okay, try it on.
Try it on.
It suits you, very pretty.
What does that mean?
- It means she's pretty.
- Pretty?
Very pretty.
I'll buy it.
I really don't need it.
Why?
I really love the river.
And the beach.
(Vietnam Coffee Challenge)
The third-place winner is, Thao.
Let's go eat something good.
- Let's go have a luxury meal.
- Thao.
Kang Jun-woo.
- Kang Jun-woo...
- Shh.
- Bro!
- Hello, Jun-woo bro.
Congratulations.
So romantic!
This is...
Thank you.
Jun-woo bro.
- Let's go have a party!
- Sure.
It's on me.
Where on earth is Jun-woo?
- Congratulations on winning, Thao!
- Congratulations, Thao!
Thank you everyone.
Congratulations, the trophy is so beautiful.
Let me see.
Our Thao is truly outstanding.
A genuinely talented person.
Here you go.
I'm so happy.
Jun-woo bro.
Do you have a girlfriend?
No.
No?
How could you not?
He's so handsome.
Bro.
Then do you have a boyfriend?
- No.
- You can tell me.
I'll keep it a secret.
No.
I really don't.
No, you have a boyfriend?
- No.
- Why?
- "Why"?
Why don't you have a boyfriend?
- I don't.
- Why?
He just said he doesn't!
So weird, my gaydar can't be wrong.
- I don't.
- I'm sorry.
It's fine.
How does Asia's Prince live such a boring life?
Even though he makes so much money.
If I deliver this personally...
Let's see if I can get a tip.
Bro, do you know BLACKPINK?
- Of course.
- Really?
- Really.
- Oh my god, that's so awesome!
- I love BLACKPINK.
- Me too.
Ask him what it feels like to be a celebrity.
How is life in the entertainment industry?
It must be great, right?
Yeah, it's great.
Do you party every night and live a luxurious life?
Uh... pretty much.
I'm really jealous.
I'll be famous too, so I'm asking in advance.
Wait a minute.
Maybe this pays better than tips.
Get closer, closer.
Wait.
Hello?
This is the phone repair shop.
The phone is fixed.
You can come pick it up tomorrow.
I can get it tomorrow?
Yes, tomorrow.
Thank you.
Okay, thank you.
You can get your phone back tomorrow.
Let's up the stakes.
Giang said you must be gay.
Giang told us he was positive you're gay.
Me? Really?
No wonder...
Aren't you?
I'm not.
I'm really not.
Another bottle?
Sure.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
It's the last night.
The last night.
The last night.
Time flies so fast.
I don't get it.
I feel a bit sad thinking about him leaving.
I think I'll miss him too.
But then I wonder, why would I miss him?
My feelings are a bit complicated.
How can you be so dense?
Just do what normal people do.
Just ask for his phone number!
What's there to worry about?
What after I get his number?
Oh my god.
It's so frustrating.
- It's not like you're confessing your love.
- Right.
Keep it simple.
This kind of connection is rare.
Don't overthink it.
- Yeah.
- It's just...
Just keeping in touch.
It's fixed.
- Thank you.
- No problem.
3.3 million VND.
Wow.
- 3 million VND.
- How much is that?
(Jeong Han-cheol Fatty)
300,000.
Thank you.
No need.
I got it, I'll head over.
Where are you going now?
Well...
Do you want to have breakfast together?
Give me your phone number.
My number? Why?
I need to pay...
Pay you back, the money.
Give me your phone.
We know each other so well now.
It doesn't make sense not to exchange numbers, right?
Hello?
Dad is in the ER?
Where?
Got it, I'll be right there.
- I have to go, sorry.
- But...
Giang.
- Let me borrow your car.
- What's wrong?
- The key, the key.
- The key?
The car key?
- Give me the car key.
- The car key, what's wrong?
Next time, I'll tell you next time.
- What's wrong?
- Park the car for me, I'll explain next time.
What's going on?
Bye, Jun-woo.
Drive safely.
- The number you have dialed is switched off.
- Huh?
Phone's turned off again, are you kidding me?
You're here?
It's okay, I'm here.
Mom, where's Dad?
The situation is serious.
It's hard to say what the outcome of the surgery will be.
What should we do about your dad?
Sit down first.
Let's wait until the surgery is over.
(In Surgery)
Are you the patient's family?
- Yes.
Doctor, did my dad's surgery go well?
The blood vessels were sutured successfully.
He has already passed the critical stage.
Really, doctor?
- Yes.
Thank you, doctor.
- You're welcome.
I'd like to settle the hospital bill.
Will you be paying with cash or card?
Card. Can I pay in 12 installments?
Yes.
Please give me your card.
Please wait a moment.
My sister is pretty, right?
Yeah.
She is really pretty.
You are... right?
Kang Jun-woo, right?
That's right.
Wow.
I'm a fan of yours.
I've watched all your movies and dramas.
Really?
Thank you, thank you.
Since my sister went to Ho Chi Minh City...
...she's really become successful.
Eat some more.
Give me your bowl.
How was your mock exam? I heard it was hard.
The exam was indeed hard.
But I still...
...got first place.
First place?
That's my sister.
Then getting into Hanoi University shouldn't be a problem, right?
Pat my head too.
Okay.
Try some.
Thank you.
Try this too.
It's good, really good.
Eat up, let's eat together.
- Is it good?
- It's good, super good.
It's still raining, what are you doing?
So this is what a coffee plantation looks like.
It's my first time seeing one.
Wow, you're rich.
Not at all.
To us, this is just work.
My parents spend every day at the farm...
...working for eight hours.
Their hourly wage is 50,000 VND.
50,000?
The hourly wage is really just a cup of watermelon juice?
Since I was little, I worked hard picking coffee beans on the farm.
And I kept thinking...
...exhausted to death every day...
...why do we make so little money?
Then, suddenly, I had a dream.
I wanted to be a barista.
To brew and sell coffee with my own hands.
To let everyone know how good our farm's coffee beans are.
That way, my parents' income would also increase.
Other than being a barista...
...any other dreams are a luxury to me.
But sometimes I also wonder...
...is dreaming of becoming a barista a luxury in itself?
What does it feel like for someone like you who has achieved their dream?
You've already accomplished everything you wanted to do.
Me?
Is it my turn?
- Yes.
Should I say it like an acceptance speech?
To be honest...
I know very well that the applause and cheers...
...will disappear one day.
I also made a lot of money.
But I still don't want to go downhill.
If I become a has-been, everything will be gone.
I'm afraid that in the end...
...I'll become worthless.
Becoming an actor was purely by chance.
I met a good project, and just got popular like that.
It was indeed quite nice.
In order not to be found out that I lacked talent...
...I also tried my desperately hard to survive.
But at the end of the day, I'm ultimately...
...just an entertainer, not a real actor.
As I grow older...
...it seems I have nothing new left to show.
And then I just started blaming everything.
Am I really stupid?
You are the best actor I've ever seen.
And the best person.
Oh my God.
Damn it.
What is that?
- A spider, don't...
- Shh.
It's gone.
Damn.
Are you okay?
I'm fine, just a little...
Really?
Really, just a little startled.
Um...
Thao, will you be going to work at the cafe tomorrow?
Why?
Before going to the airport, I want to drop by the cafe.
Okay.
I have a...
...gift to give you.
I'll give it to you tomorrow.
For me?
Yes.
What gift?
Because...
I wanted to thank you for coming here with me.
But why did you want to come with me?
Because...
I also wanted to spend a bit more time with you.
Sorry.
What should we do?
Go...
Put this on.
- Thank you.
Thao.
Yeah?
Wow, you're great.
Keep going.
Just scan the QR code.
Over here, not on the face.
Got it.
This is me.
Wow, Kang Jun-woo.
My friend.
Only you.
- Only me?
- Yes.
Thank you for visiting our home.
Thank you.
Let's play together again next time, Oppa.
Bo.
You guys are getting along so well.
Hurry up and go, or you'll hit traffic.
I'm leaving now. Bye, Hin, bye, Bo.
Thank you, see you next time.
Hurry up and go inside.
Thank you.
It's so good.
- It's very good, right?
- It is.
Thank you.
My mom brews this every morning.
This is really useful, it covers my whole face.
I should've worn this earlier.
Great hat.
Thao.
When are you going to Italy?
By the way, Milan is in Italy, right?
I've been to Milan.
I'll give you my list of recommended restaurants later.
Milan is really beautiful.
What's wrong?
Why aren't you going to Italy?
Are you crazy?
Why are you giving up on Italy?
Didn't you say you were so happy to go to Italy?
Are you really giving it up?
Thao, I know you're very smart.
But you don't understand...
...you are the most important.
Just like how you care for your family...
...you need to care for yourself too.
Because I love my family.
I love my mom and dad.
And I love my younger siblings.
For my family, I can give up my dreams.
Everyone has a different way of finding happiness.
I just found my own way.
Haven't you also found happiness in your own way?
But still, thank you for caring about me.
I can feel your sincerity.
This is my gift to you.
I wish you happiness when you return to Seoul.
I'm seriously going crazy, seriously.
Huh?
Jun-woo.
Why wouldn't you turn your phone on, you punk?
- Sorry, sorry.
Are you okay?
- Yeah.
You punk, are you really alright?
- Really.
CEO Song.
Actor Kang.
Look at your haggard face.
You've suffered quite a bit lately.
But you still shouldn't have done something like this.
Too immature.
A woman you randomly met on the street.
Recognized you as Kang Jun-woo and clung to you.
Demanded money under the guise of being a guide...
...and even extorted cash.
It's not like that. She provided me with food and a place to stay...
Not only that, she deliberately created a scandal.
Planning to make a big buck out of it.
It's really not like that.
Is that so?
That's not what we heard.
The guy over there is the witness.
Yes, that's right.
That's why they say, you have to be careful of your own countrymen abroad.
Jun-woo.
Do you plan to just end it here?
No, right?
You worked so hard to get to this position.
Do you want to stop here?
Young people are desperately charging upward one by one.
Yet you're here idling away, does that make sense?
Your road ahead is still long.
Do you really have to be so ruthless?
Good scripts won't come to you.
All your commercials will be cut, your image will hit rock bottom.
Are you going to regret it only then, Jun-woo?
I will talk to her properly.
I've already convinced Director Lee.
You will star in it, not Cha Do-hoon.
We'll have a meeting as soon as we return to Korea.
Choose for yourself.
If you want to give up everything and live here...
...then we will just leave you here.
Is it here?
Is it here?
- Welcome.
- Come quickly.
- Over there.
Still trying to scam a star's money?
We're here to film the scammer.
How can she still be so shamelessly selling coffee?
- You scammer.
- You're a scammer.
Please don't film, don't film.
Please stop filming.
(Decaf)
Come in.
Hello, Director.
- Come on in.
- Hello.
- It's been a while.
- Hello, Director.
- Have you been well?
- Director, how are you?
Put on a little weight?
Yes, bulked up a little bit.
That's great.
Come, have a seat.
- Have a cup of coffee.
- Okay.
- Hello.
- Hello.
Hello.
Director, how are you?
Have you been well?
Is everyone well?
- Great.
I'm not a scammer.
And I'm not Kang Jun-woo's fan either.
I'm very sorry.
Take this back.
Rest for a few days, cool down, and then come back.
I'll pretend this resignation never happened.
Sweeter than love.
It's so sickening I can't even watch.
So hypocritical.
Just seeing his face pisses me off.
Does he even know what true love is?
That guy Kang Jun-woo is certainly living comfortably in Korea.
Despicable coward.
While someone else can't even go to work at the cafe.
So unlucky. The more I talk about it, the angrier I get.
Right? Thao.
Who are you talking about?
To Thao,
I'm really curious what kind of gift you'll give me.
What would a cheapskate like you give?
I have a gift for you too.
Its name is Handsome.
It's the watch I bought after landing my first lead role.
I wear it when I shower.
And when I sleep. It's like my alter ego.
The lodging and meals you provided,
as well as everything you've done...
I don't know if Handsome is enough to repay you.
If it's not enough, just let me know. I am Kang Jun-woo, after all.
Oh, right. There will definitely be people who only offer two million, or twenty million dong.
A price only worth a few dozen cups of watermelon juice.
Absolutely do not sell it to them.
You have to sell it for at least the value of ten thousand cups of watermelon juice.
Got it?
Thao.
You're at your most radiant when you're making coffee.
I hope you'll rely on Handsome to get you to Italy.
Jun-woo.
The shirt you wore in Vietnam is sponsored. We need to return it.
Okay, I'll look for it.
(Hi, how are you?)
The fan meeting?
It's already been canceled.
Didn't you say you wouldn't do it for 5,000 seats?
Are 5,000 seats still too few?
Hold it anyway.
Why are you acting like this all of a sudden?
Did you...
Did you agree because you felt bad for the company?
Hey.
Did you get yourself into trouble?
Really?
Hello, baby.
- Thao.
- Thao.
- Hello, baby.
- Thao.
You jerk.
How could you just leave without saying a word?
Thao, is that how you scold someone?
That was way too gentle. Will the other person even feel anything?
You need to vent your feelings.
Forcefully show how deeply hurt you are.
I know.
It might be a bit awkward to swear in Vietnamese.
Because you don't usually curse, you can't get the words out.
Don't worry.
I even prepared some Korean swear words for you.
Watch how I do it.
Hey.
Hey.
You son of a bitch.
Thao, you try it.
Giang, stop messing around.
Hey.
Hey.
Great, keep going.
You... son of a bitch?
Are you dubbing an anime?
Or are you praying?
Thao.
You have to use force when you swear.
What are you even doing? It's really frustrating.
But why do I have to curse at him?
"Why?"
It's all because of him.
You were called a gold digger and a scammer, and suffered so much injustice.
I can't tolerate it, and neither should you.
No one is allowed to talk about you like that.
Wake up.
Go and have it out with him.
And then go back to work.
Yes.
(Kang Jun-woo)
You're looking for Thao?
I'm going to go crazy.
If CEO Song finds out, this is going to be a huge problem.
Just help me this once.
(Giang: Arrived)
Look over there.
It feels a bit strange.
What do you mean?
I don't think I should have come.
Follow your heart.
Miss, just follow us.
Okay?
Wait a minute.
What's wrong?
Honestly, I don't want this.
I'm going home.
- Thao.
- Thao.
What should we do?
What should we do?
Let's just chase after her first.
- Thao.
- Thao.
Welcome, Kang Jun-woo.
Yeah.
Hello everyone.
Yeah!
- Kang Jun-woo! Kang Jun-woo!
- Hello everyone, I'm Kang Jun-woo.
It's been a long time since I've been to Vietnam.
And so many of you have come here today.
Thank you all so much for your support.
I hope we can make happy memories today and have a wonderful time.
Thao, wait a minute, let's talk.
It's strange, why are you so angry?
Thao.
- Go say something.
- What should I say?
Thao, calm down and listen to me first.
My legs are about to break.
Wait a minute.
Stop right there, wait.
Wait a minute.
You can't just walk away like this, right?
Alright, if you don't want to yell at him, at least see him once before you go.
Why are you being so stubborn?
There are chairs over there, sit down for a bit before you go.
Now for our first segment.
Rock, Paper, Scissors!
Okay, are you ready?
- I'm ready.
- Great.
Rock, Paper, Scissors!
Rock, Paper!
The two of you in the middle played a different move from Kang Jun-woo.
It's a pity, but please exit here.
Thank you for participating today.
Thao.
What exactly is wrong with you?
You didn't do anything wrong, so why can't you go in?
Yeah.
You can sit there with your head held high.
I don't want to.
You guys saw it too.
He and we are ultimately from different worlds.
(Dance for 15 seconds)
What is the next game?
Dance for 15 seconds!
Even if I yell at him, I wouldn't feel any better.
Shall we proceed to the next game?
It'll only make me look more pathetic.
Although I was disappointed at first...
and I even hated him...
But I still want him to be happy.
Is everyone having fun?
Thank you all.
Jun-woo must also have things he's wanted to say to his fans, but hasn't had the chance to.
Kang Jun-woo.
Please tell your fans yourself now.
What I want to say is...
(Giang)
I left so heartlessly back then...
but it's still so warm here.
Actually, I missed this place so much.
What are you doing?
What should we do?
There was someone who made me realize this.
If everything went according to my plan...
that person should be somewhere in here right now.
I once denied it...
Because I had too many...
things I was afraid to lose.
It was only after being separated from that person...
that I finally understood...
how much she had done for me.
She must have been really scared too.
- What is he doing?
- What is he talking about?
She taught me so many things.
What happiness is.
And what I fear the most.
Look.
Not just anyone can be my tour guide.
Good job.
You're welcome.
Delicious.
I really like rivers.
I don't like taking pictures.
I want to take this opportunity to apologize to her.
Thao, are you there?
Thao.
Thao.
Thao, did you come?
I was only thinking of myself again.
Jun-woo, Jun-woo!
Jun-woo!
Jun-woo!
Thao, she's here!
Thao, I'm sorry.
I...
When I thought about never seeing you again...
I was so scared.
I missed you so much.
Thao.
I missed you too.
It really is hard to make a pattern.
The taste is more important than the pattern.
Wow.
It's really good.
Is it good? Really?
- Yeah, it's good.
- Really?
- Really.
Really.
We have a lot of time now, don't we?
We have a lot of time.
I'll practice hard tomorrow and make you a decent latte.
Wait a minute, Jun-woo.
Hm?
What is this?
You didn't go to Italy?
I did.
Thanks to your encouragement...
I was able to muster the courage to go to Italy.
Handsome said he was happiest when he was with you.
He told me not to give him to anyone else.
Why didn't you just sell it and make your life a little easier?
I'm so glad.
That I met you.
Ah, I have a gift too.
A gift?
- A gift?
- Yeah, for you.
Where is it?
Wow.
