I Wanna Be Sup'tar (2026) s01e04 Episode Script

I’m about to become an actress.
You’d never understand
what it’s like to grow up alone.
You really want to be an actress?
Good acting
isn’t just memorizing lines
or copying someone else.
It has to come from inside.
Let go!
- Wanneung.
- Let go!
- Wanneung!
- Let go!
Are you hurt?
Hey,
you’re awake?
Take it easy.
How are you feeling?
Still a little dizzy.
Thank you, Win,
for helping me.
If you hadn’t shown up,
I probably wouldn’t have made it.
Be more careful next time, okay?
If someone asks you
to audition somewhere weird and secluded
and you don’t even know them,
that’s dangerous.
Just tell me next time.
I’ll go with you.
Got it.
Hey.
Does it hurt?
My back hurts.
I think I must’ve hit it
when I fell and slammed into the floor.
Let me see.
Ouch…
I think it’s bruised.
I’ll go get some ointment.
Hey…
take your shirt off. I’ll put it on.
We’re both girls. Why are you being shy?
Let me help you.
I… I’m sorry.
Does it hurt?
Your back is really badly bruised.
Shouldn’t you see a doctor?
Just to make sure
nothing’s wrong internally.
It’s not that bad.
After you put the ointment on,
I’ll be fine.
That’s easy for you to say
when you haven’t even seen
how bad the bruises are.
Come on, let’s go see a doctor.
Stop being stubborn.
Right there.
We did another X-ray,
and everything looks normal.
It’s probably just a ligament strain.
Then why does it still hurt?
I told you to rest your foot
for two or three days
and stop wearing heels.
If you’re not going to listen,
why come see a doctor?
I came here to get treated,
not to be told what to do.
I already told you I have to wear heels.
There are hundreds of crew members.
You want me to stop working
just because my foot hurts?
Everyone else would be affected too.
Fine. Do whatever you want.
Wait until you can’t walk anymore,
then stop.
I’ll prescribe painkillers
and an ointment for you.
All done.
Hello, Wanneung.
I’m gonna go find parking,
then I’ll come inside.
Alright.
Wanneung, how are you feeling?
Who’d you come with?
Did you call an Uber?
Yeah, an Uber.
He saw my back was hurting,
so he let me sit in the front,
so I’d be more comfortable.
But that car looks kinda familiar,
like the one
your mom’s friend left at your house.
It just happens to be the same model.
- Let’s go, Meedee.
- Okay.
Win.
What are you doing here?
Are you sick?
No,
I'm just here for something.
Your leg’s still not better?
I’ve been working every day
without a break,
so my foot’s still sore.
So… what are you here for?
I came to visit a friend.
I should get going.
I’ll arrange the X-ray as ordered.
You’re being so dramatic, Meedee.
It’s just a minor injury.
Do I really have to stay overnight?
Even if it’s just a simple bruise,
if the impact was strong,
it could have caused internal bleeding
or even a hairline fracture.
You need an X-ray first.
And you’re staying here tonight,
just to be safe.
- But I’m fine.
- Wanneung.
You know how worried I am about you.
Okay, okay.
I’ll stay, alright?
But I need to use the bathroom first.
I’ll take you.
It’s okay.
It’s just a bruise, not a disability.
I can go by myself.
Hello, Wanneung.
Hello, Win.
So, the doctor…
My friend said I need to stay overnight.
You can head home first.
Well… my friend doesn’t know
my mom sold the house.
And she doesn’t know about you either.
If she sees you,
the truth’s gonna come out.
Alright.
Are you hungry?
Want me to buy something
and leave it at the counter?
No, it’s okay.
Thank you.
Okay then,
get some rest.
I’ll pick you up tomorrow.
Okay. Drive home safe.
How do you make them know
that you love them?
Like this.
I’m on my way to pick you up.
You’re back?
Well…
my friend got an urgent case,
so I slipped out.
But I didn’t tell her anything.
Good thing I’m great at acting.
The secret’s still safe.
Great at acting?
That's because you have
a great teacher. I don't get any credit?
Yeah.
Thank you, Teacher Win,
for teaching me how to act.
Hey,
what’s wrong?
My head’s a little itchy.
I haven’t washed my hair yet.
It’s like
having a hundred ants crawling on my head.
Your back still hurts?
So how will you wash your hair?
Does it feel good?
Very much so.
Thank you.
Hey!
Oh, wow.
There’s so much more!
Hey, it's gonna be all over me!
Wanneung.
Wanneung.
MEEDEE
Hello, Wanneung.
Wanneung’s sleeping.
Who are you?
Why are you answering
my girlfriend’s phone?
Answer me.
Wanneung.
Wanneung, are you home?
Come out and talk to me.
I said she’s sleeping.
Why are you yelling?
And who are you?
How are you in my girlfriend’s house?
Why don’t you ask your friend yourself?
That’s her personal matter.
All you need to know is that she’s safe.
If you don’t open the door,
I’m calling the police.
I should be the one calling.
This is my house.
You’re the one causing a scene,
standing in front of my house
yelling like this.
If you don’t want more trouble, go home.
Take one more step
and I’m calling the cops.
Meedee just made that up.
She’s not my girlfriend.
Please don’t misunderstand, Win.
I need to call her and clear this up.
She keeps saying stuff like that,
and it’s making me look bad.
Don’t get the wrong idea, okay?
Why are you so worried
about me misunderstanding?
Well…
I…
Why are you smiling?
Because I’m single?
It’s getting cold.
Aren’t you gonna eat? You talk too much.
Fine, I’ll eat.
Does it still hurt?
A little.
It’s okay.
Come here.
Here.
Is it good?
How about this?
When you’re fully recovered,
I’ll teach you acting.
Really?
You’re not lying to me, right?
Do I look like a liar to you?
You’re seriously like an angel
sent from heaven.
- Thank you.
- It's okay.
I’m finally gonna be a superstar
just like everyone else!
Hey,
sit down properly.
I’m just excited!
You can be excited sitting down too.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Can I have another bite?
Sure.
Wanneung.
What is it, Win?
You’re going to work today, right?
I just wanted to check
if you’re really feeling better.
I’m all better now.
Want to see?
Excuse me.
Does it still hurt?
Not at all.
I should go get dressed, or I’ll be late.
Okay.
All done.
Hey,
Waanwaan is not here yet?
I guess not.
I really need to see her today.
I volunteered for this event
just because I wanted to see her.
I know. But for now,
go iron the clothes first.
Okay.
- Hey.
- What?
Why didn’t you tell me
May would be here today?
You didn’t ask.
You only asked
if Waanwaan would be on set.
Hey.
Are you calling me?
No.
I’m talking to Wanneung.
Hello, May.
Help me carry my stuff in from the car.
I need to iron the outfits.
I’ll get someone else.
Whom?
Everyone’s busy.
It has to be you.
Go.
Just go.
Hurry up. Follow her.
Can I have the car key?
How do you even know Win?
How long has it been?
Why didn’t I know about this?
Well…
I…
There’s nothing going on between us.
If your acting feels fake, it shows.
Someone like you can’t lie
to save your life.
Or should I give you a demonstration?
Which scene should we do?
The actress gets shoved
by a jealous crew member,
falls down,
twists her ankle, can’t keep filming,
and the whole set shuts down.
How much would the damages be?
Think you can afford the damages?
I never thought
a lead actress like you
could be this cruel.
Excuse me, I'll get to work.
- Wait.
- May.
That scene really impressed me.
I never thought
a sweet-faced actress like you
could play a villain so well.
If you don’t want to be the lead,
why not say so?
I could’ve had Gam
step in as the lead instead.
I can even go tell the client myself.
Hello, May.
Hello, Waanwaan.
My name is Wanneung.
I really want to be an actress.
Could you take me under your management?
Alright, let me get your number.
If I find a good role that suits you,
I’ll contact you.
Really?
Here’s my number.
You can call me anytime.
I’ll be waiting.
Just wait for my call.
And don’t tell anyone
I asked for your number.
It’s a business secret.
Of course. I’ll keep my mouth shut.
I’ll get back to work now.
Gam, you heard that too, right?
About Win and that girl.
I did.
What’s with you?
Why’re you smiling to yourself?
Nothing.
Why’d your voice go so high?
Nothing.
Are you going to work out?
Not me.
Us.
Us?
I just got off work, I'm exhausted,
and now you want me to run too?
You’re so mean.
You promised to teach me acting.
I’m not trying out for the national team.
Exercise helps you focus.
When you're exhausted,
your mind settles on yourself,
and you're more grounded
in what’s right in front of you.
You need to train that.
If you want me to focus,
I could just meditate.
No need to exhaust myself like this.
Exercise keeps your body alert,
makes your muscles more efficient.
If you want to be an actor,
you need to communicate through your body.
Understand?
Isn’t there anything easier?
If you think being an actor
is just dressing up, walking around,
and getting famous and rich,
you’re wrong.
Acting is just as exhausting
as any other job.
Everything is about learning.
Those famous K-pop singers,
the ones who dance so powerfully,
they train at least eight hours a day.
Eight hours?
If you want an easy job,
acting isn’t it.
Have I been thinking about this all wrong?
No wonder
I’ve only ever been an extra
walking past the camera.
Eight hours…
Do you still want to be a superstar?
I do.
Let’s go.
- Next is…
- Next is sleeping?
Next,
I’ll teach you to speak with your eyes.
My eyes are already shutting, I’m sleepy.
Wake up.
This is a test.
What do you want?
Try telling me something with your eyes.
Make me understand.
But…
how are we supposed
to communicate like that?
If you can’t do it, then you fail.
And no more teaching.
- Why are you so strict?
- Start.
I’m not even ready yet.
Don’t talk.
Show me.
I’ll tell you if I understand.
I can’t think of anything.
I don’t know what to say to you.
Alright.
Look into my eyes.
And feel what I’m trying to tell you.
I want to tell you that
I have feelings for you.
But the pain from my past still scares me.
Can you wait for me, Wanneung?
Don’t fall for anyone else yet.
Don’t open your heart to anyone.
And when I’m ready,
I’ll tell you how I feel myself.
What are you really
trying to tell me, Win?
Why does this
feel so good?
I shouldn’t have let myself
get this close to you.
But I can’t help it.
I want to be around you all the time.
I know someone as perfect as you
would never fall
for someone silly like me.
But…
how am I supposed to stop my heart?
So?
Did you understand?
Well…
what did you just tell me?
It felt really good.
If it felt good,
that’s good.
Because what I was
trying to tell you was…
Focus on your training
and quit being ridiculous.
Alright,
class dismissed for today.
Can we get a photo with this camera?
This side too, please.
- Over here as well.
- Perfect.
- Yes.
- Are you excited?
I’m excited,
but working with familiar faces
makes me feel at ease.
Waanwaan, you're so beautiful.
Take lots of photos.
Waanwaan,
the person playing the lead opposite May,
- who's it gonna be?
- Right.
I’m dying to tell you,
but the director wants it
to be a surprise.
Let’s wait for the reveal.
Could it be Gam
since she's joining today's event?
- That's right.
- Also,
I heard from an insider
that you’ve been meeting
with the director all week.
How about this?
Wait for the director’s surprise,
and you all will find out together.
- I see.
- But for now, photos.
Let’s get some big, clear shots.
Once the crowd rushes in,
you won’t get photos this good anymore.
- Bring it!
- Alright.
- Big shots, please.
- How did she get here?
Win!
- That must’ve been hard.
- How did you get here?
- Win!
- You know her?
May.
I need to talk to you.
Can I get Director Tong’s number?
I want to speak with him.
Sure.
So you’re accepting the role?
You’ll find out soon.
Hello, P’Tong.
Thanks so much
for agreeing to be in my film, Win.
My pleasure.
But…
don’t forget our deal.
Let’s finish here first, then we’ll talk.
Alright.
- Can we get a little hug, please?
- What?
Win Pawee actually agreed to do the movie?
What made you decide to come back
after three years?
The reason is…
someone.
Someone.
- Who?
- Who could it be?
Does that someone
happen to be May?
- Is it May?
- Is it her?
I meant Tong.
I worked with him
when I first entered this industry.
Then we went our separate ways,
but I’ve always missed him.
So sweet.
I owe him a lot.
You could say he’s the one
who brought me into this industry.
- Aw.
- That’s so sweet. She never forgot.
And about the leaked photos
and the rumors about you and May,
was that a PR stunt?
Was it?
Not at all.
It was a coincidence.
May had an accident and hurt her leg
and couldn’t drive,
so I offered to take her home.
I see.
Then what about the clip
from three years ago?
It happened a long time ago,
but ever since then,
you’ve never held a press conference
to explain yourself
- or clarify anything.
- Right.
Can you tell us what really happened?
Even just a little?
- Could you explain?
- Please clarify.
- Anything you want to say?
- It was huge back then.
Could you clarify?
It was a long time ago,
so I’d rather not talk about it.
Why don’t we talk about the film instead?
If you have questions,
I’ll answer all of them.
- Really?
- Go ahead, ask. I’ll answer what I can.
Let’s go, Gam. Time to leave.
Wait.
Why? Shouldn’t we stay
for interviews first?
With a role that small,
who’s gonna interview you?
Oh, Waanwaan.
I’m already happy just being able
to act with Win and May.
Please don’t be upset.
Listen.
My girls are never second best.
They're only number one. Remember that.
- True fan.
- This’ll have people clutching pillows.
Congratulations.
What are you doing?
Hey.
Are you celebrating New Year's?
You don’t like it?
I set all this up just for you.
If this is your best effort,
don’t bother next time.
I’m remembering that.
I’m kidding. Thank you.
I got you a gift too.
Is it cute?
A cactus?
It’s not just any cactus.
It’s called
a Lemon Barrel Cactus.
And?
I really love the name.
They say when it blooms,
the flowers are white,
big, and beautiful.
I used to grow one when I was little,
but I never got to see it bloom.
Maybe because I wasn’t up
in the sky like you.
Up in the sky?
I’m not dead yet.
That’s not what I meant.
I mean you’re a star. A superstar.
Don’t you like it?
I do.
Congratulations again, Win.
Thank you again as well.
Being up in the sky,
it must feel really good, right?
Maybe it’s not that great.
Why not?
We think stars are beautiful
because they’re far away.
But up close,
they’re just giant rocks,
rough,
covered in craters.
But…
even if we know
that’s what they’re really like,
people still want
to reach for them, don’t they?
Wanneung,
someday,
you’ll become the star you dream of.
Trust me.
The star is already this close.
Look, Win.
It’s right here.
I don’t see anything close about it.
I mean I’m this close to becoming a star.
Over there.
Where?
- There, there.
- That one?
A shooting star.
Make a wish, quick.
- I don’t see anything.
- There!
- Where?
- Close your eyes and wish now.
Hey.
Don’t lie down and pray.
Lying down like that
is not how you make a wish.
Wanneung.
Wanneung.
What is it, Win?
The power’s out.
Can I sleep with you?
I’m scared of ghosts.
I can sense some strange energy
around here.
Since you moved in,
how many times has the power gone out?
You have your own bed.
Why not sleep there?
Do you know how cramped this bed is?
Just let me sleep here.
Director, I can do it!
Hello?
What?
One moment, please.
Yes, Waanwaan?
What?
Alright.
See you, Waanwaan.
Win.
Wanneung.
Where are you going?
I’m heading to work.
What about you?
I'm going to see Tom.
So you’re off to work now?
Want me to drop you off?
No, no, it’s fine.
The production van’s picking me up.
I’ve got to go. I’ll be late. Bye.
I’m really glad
you didn’t bail on me
at the press conference.
I’d never bail on you,
but you can’t bail on me either.
About that,
- I was planning to…
- Is there a problem?
Well…
If you can’t do what I asked,
then I might have to withdraw.
Here’s the thing.
It’s an international co-production.
I need to discuss it
with the investors first.
And it’s not like
you can just cast anyone you want.
It’s not easy
squeezing someone into the project.
Most importantly,
the actor has to fit the role.
It has to match.
But…
WANNEUNG
I’m willing to stake my name on it.
She can do it,
and she’s perfect for this role.
Just give her a chance.
Who were you calling, Wanneung?
A friend.
Why? Don’t you trust me anymore?
Well…
if you don’t feel good about this,
then don’t sign it.
TALENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMEN
I’ll sign.
The last page, dear.
Okay.
WANNEUNG ROJANAPHUNPONG
- One more copy, sweetheart.
- Okay.
Let me check the details first.
All done.
You’re officially
an actress now, Wanneung.
Congratulations.
Welcome to the entertainment industry.
From now on, you can tell everyone
you’re under my management.
Before this,
I didn’t want you telling anyone.
You know
how some people like using my name
to their advantage.
So I wanted to keep it quiet
until the contract was signed.
I understand, Waanwaan.
Thank you so much.
Stay with me, and you’ll only get
good opportunities.
Don’t worry.
I can’t believe it.
I actually signed with you.
Why does everything feel so fast?
When I find someone talented like you,
I have to lock you down fast.
What if someone else were
to snatch you first?
You’re flattering me too much.
I’m not dreaming, right?
Dreaming?
- Take this.
- Waanwaan!
Does that hurt?
- It hurts.
- Then you’re not dreaming.
If anything comes up,
I’ll contact you right away.
Okay.
Here’s one for you. Keep it.
Thank you.
Keep it safe. Don’t lose it.
Win!
Win, I have good news to tell you.
- I--
- Wait, don’t say anything yet.
Don’t you notice anything?
You rearranged the house?
Right?
But everything still looks the same to me.
This is the same.
Painting's the same.
Win? Win?
Where are you going?
Win!
Can you come out and talk to me?
I have good news.
Come out here and hear my good news.
Please, Win.
Wanneung.
Did you sign a contract with Waanwaan?
Yes. You’re happy for me, right?
I signed with the top talent manager.
Look into my eyes.
Try to see if I’m happy
and what I’m trying to tell you.
You want to say that
you’re happy I’m going to succeed,
and you’ll stay by my side forever.
And you also want to tell me that
you like me, right, Win?
Go pack your bags.
Where are you sending me?
So pretty.
From now on, if you're an actress,
you need to stay focused
when you act, okay?
You and that woman…
there’s nothing special
between you, right?
You know I’m scared of love.
I'm afraid to open up to anyone again.
But maybe she’s the one
who’ll make you brave enough to try again.
Can I ask you something, Wanneung?
Of course.
