My Love from the Star (2013) s01e01 Episode Script

Episode 1

The Annals of Joseon Dynasty, The Book of Gwanghae Vol.
20.
First year, September 25 In the skies of Ganseong, Wonju, Gangreung, and Chuncheon, a saucer-like object was observed.
The object was large and as swift as an arrow.
Along with the roars of thunder, it disappeared like a spark.
The sky was then clear without a single cloud.
August 25, 1609 Stop crying! I just feel bad for our Miss.
She became a widow at such a young age! She's only 15.
She didn't even get to meet her husband.
Now she has to live as a widow for the rest of her life.
What kind of rule is that? Excuse me! Ma'am! Someone get me out! Someone save me! 1601.
The first year of Gwanghae's rule.
The Annals of Joseon Dynasty report an unidentified flying object seen in the sky.
It was that very object that brought me to Joseon.
The people of Earth named my star KMT 184.
05.
It's a planet very much like Earth.
That's where I'm from.
Since the Joseon Era up until now.
Hanyang is now called Seoul.
I've lived here for more than 400 years.
Magnetic field, gravity, and even water.
I'm fully adapted to Earth.
All of my senses such as vision and hearing are seven times more acute than the life on earth.
Thanks to my ability, I see or hear things I'd rather not see or hear.
There isn't any food I particularly like.
But I cannot exchange fluid or blood with the people of Earth.
Which is why I always eat alone.
Oh my goodness! My bag! He snatched my bag! Oh my goodness! My bag! Why don't I help? It's meaningless for me to get involved in their lives.
Just like I had to live on Earth from another galaxy for 400 years Whether you want it to or not Some things are just bound to happen.
The people of Earth call it, 'fate.
' [Ison.]
[Comet of the century brighter than the full moon.
.]
[To be seen on Earth in three months.
.]
A new fate is about to begin.
The comet that I've waited for In three months, I can go back to the planet I'm from.
[My Love from Another Star.]
The First Record Please look at me! Here, I got you coffee.
- Mocha latte? - Yeah.
That's what you wanted.
Scooch over.
- Here drink this.
- Huh? Thanks.
Song Yi! I had to run 200 meters for that! Do you know how many calories that is? I don't want to run two hours for that.
You're always so on top of things.
Of course.
Did you move my stuff? Of course! I even checked on them doing the cleaning.
Song Yi? What are you doing right now? Connecting with my fans.
SNS again? What did you say this time? Sweet mocha latte is the best in a tiring afternoon.
Now I know why Sir Moon Ik Jum smuggled mocha seeds into Korea.
Thank you Sir Moon Ik Jum.
Song Yi! Sir Moon Ik Jum? Don't you know Moon Ik Jum, the man who cultivated mocha seeds? He smuggled the mocha seeds in his brush from China.
He was a cunning man.
They were not mocha seeds.
They were mokhwa seeds! (Cotton) What is this? - Look at this! - Mocha? [Airhead!.]
I told her to stop tweeting.
What were you doing? You should've stopped her! She never listens to me.
I'm dying here.
- Did you delete the articles? - I'm trying.
But 'Mocha Moon Ik Jum' is already the most popular keyword.
How stupid does she have to be to confuse mocha and mokhwa? I bet that Moon Ik Jum never knew that he'd be confused for something like this.
It's a disaster caused by ignorance.
I'm about to go mad.
Why did you call me after I finished shooting? I'm tired.
You're tired? How come your skin is so good even when you're tired? You could shoot a make-up commercial right now.
What do you want? I want to go rest.
Okay, I will make it quick.
Have you heard about the mocha seed? Was that a big deal? Exactly! People are like that nowadays.
It's not like they already knew it.
Even I learned that mocha and mokhwa were different today! - Right? - Of course! They are just nitpicking because they're jealous.
I know.
People tend to do that.
Yeah! So let's not even deal with them.
Let's just not even do the SNS as of today.
- No.
- Huh? Why not? Who do I talk to if I can't even do that? Talk to me! I'd hate that even more.
- Song Yi! You just lost your sponsor - Oh yeah.
Mr.
Park from JK keeps on calling me.
Jin Gook? Why? I wouldn't know.
He keeps on asking if I'm going to renew the contract with you.
He says that he's loaded from his Japanese investors.
He keeps on asking me to come.
I heard that you two were best friends.
Is that alright with you? That bastard.
Can I get going now? Of course! You should go.
I already set up your new place.
You will like it.
What are you doing? Escort her out of here! Did she really say that because she didn't know? Wasn't she trying to be funny? Everyone knows that she's stupid.
Oh yes! You know that we have a get-together for the social science faculty? The dean wants all of us to attend.
Professor Do Min Joon.
Are you coming? Professor Do Min Joon? We have a get-together tonight.
I can't make it.
We've shared this office for a year now.
We never even got to eat together.
Do you even know my name? Don't you? My goodness! You see each other every day.
Do you know my name? What about mine? I will get going now.
Song Yi! Let's delete the account.
I said no! I have 20,000 friends! They are not friends! They can become your enemies at any second.
It hasn't even been a month since the garlic pizza thing.
Why do I smell garlic in garlic pizza? Is it just me? People made fun of you for not knowing what garlic meant.
Why cause trouble by posting? People are making fun of you.
- I don't care at all.
- Song Yi? Can I be honest with you? A person like you shouldn't connect with the fans.
The more you connect, the less respect they will have for you.
You should just stay mysterious Shut up and drive.
Why are you getting off? Don't follow me.
You don't even know your apartment number.
Why not? You think I can't even go home if I don't know what garlic is? - You said it was 2301.
- But still I don't want you to get on the elevator alone.
I will take you.
- No thanks.
- Song Yi! I said I can go alone! Your earrings.
You have to give them back because they're sponsored.
Happy? I'm going now.
Can we let her go alone? She ran into a pervert the last time she got into an elevator alone.
And that pervert was hospitalized for eight weeks.
She beat the hell out of the kid with a cell phone.
He was really geez.
It was the first time I felt bad for a pervert.
Excuse me? Why aren't you pressing? Why don't you press the button? Yeah.
I'm Cheon Song Yi.
How long did you follow me? How did you find my new place? What do you want? You want an autograph? You want to take a picture? Will you leave then? I can tell that you're still young and you're full of energy.
I understand.
But you should go study with that energy.
Or workout and use that energy.
Because you picked the wrong person to mess around with! This isn't my first time! That pervert! Hey! Are you going to my place? Where do you think you're going? You're my next door neighbor.
You lived there? I moved to 2301.
Surprise! Don't you know me? You don't know me? - Do I have to know? - No, you don't have to.
- But why are you looking at me? - I'm entering my pass code.
Sorry.
That kid! Who does he think I am? Does he really not know me? How? Is he from North Korea? Or an alien? Everyone knows Cheon Song Yi in Korea.
Everyone has the title of national singer or national actor nowadays.
But they are all exaggerations.
You need to have everyone in Korea know you first.
I think it's ridiculous to call yourself a national actress just because you had one good piece.
I agree.
Only Cheon Song Yi deserves such a title.
Anyway! All of our kids started as kid actors together.
But only Song Yi and Se Mi stayed.
I heard Song Yi has a new drama again.
Yeah, she chose the drama over the film director Bong Joon Ho was begging her for.
I hope it works out.
Oh yeah, Se Mi is in it too.
I didn't read about it.
- Yes - She has the role of my daughter's friend.
The articles only write about the lead actress.
Oh yeah! Didn't Song Yi move today? Shouldn't you go? Hmm? She moved? Oh no! You didn't even know? That your daughter moved? Huh? Of course I did.
I know she moved.
I was going to visit but She didn't want to cause trouble for me.
Where did she move to? Huh? Just - Seochodong - It's Gold Palace at Daechidong.
Yeah! I know, Daechidong.
My mistake.
One sec.
Mi Yeon! Get in, I will take you.
No, I'm okay.
Learn to drive or ask your national actress daughter to get you a chauffeur.
You look pitiful.
Song Yi wants to get me a chauffeur.
But I just don't want to have a chauffeur tag along.
There are taxis everywhere.
Okay then.
Be careful.
Okay! Bye! You even got abandoned by your daughter from trying to mooch money off of her.
And you have the nerve to gloat.
Hey! Your daughter is a supporting actress.
You're just a support too.
Don't act so graceful in front of the lead.
Why didn't she tell me that she's moving? [Mom.]
[Ignorant Song Yi does it again with mocha!.]
Ignorant and stupid? It's obvious from the screen name it's a kid.
Did you get botox in your brain? I bet your brain doesn't even have wrinkles.
Do the kids take lessons on how to write mean comments? Do they take classes? [Mom.]
- Hello? - How could you? Do you have to embarrass me like that? Do I have to find out about you moving from other people? You told me to never call you again.
You didn't want me to be your daughter anymore.
You know I Since when did you listen to me? I always listened to you.
Ever since you asked for money to open the French restaurant.
Or the time you asked for money to open a boutique.
Stop talking about the past! There are recent ones too.
You started a diet supplement shop and failed.
You also lost a donut shop.
How much could they cost? Look at yourself in the mirror.
Your face and your body.
I gave you that million-dollar body.
Imagine if you didn't have a mother like me.
You think it's easy to look that beautiful naturally? Frankly, your acting sucks.
You're making money from acting and doing commercials.
It's all thanks to your looks that you got from me.
Not because of your acting.
You should know that.
I look like Dad.
My goodness! You look nothing like your dad.
You know he has no looks! Oh that's right.
You married him for his money.
That's why you dumped him when he went broke.
Hey! What do you know, huh? I'm more like Dad and I really hate you for that.
So don't you ever talk about him again.
I don't have enough money.
Send me five million more.
Don't you know about automatic transfer? Also call Yoon Jae.
He didn't come home for two days.
Cheon Yoon Jae! Did he leave home again? [Cheon Song Yi.]
Look here.
Yoon Jae, look here.
Doesn't it look real? Should I do a nude picture next time? What's wrong? Delete this right now.
Before I get back from the bathroom.
Okay.
What's wrong with him? Is he her fan? Just hate me Stop obsessing over me Don't look for me again! Because I will break your heart! Say that I'm cruel! You really are cruel.
Don't swear at me! I think I have to.
Forever.
Can I help you? Do you know what time it is? Right now? I think it's past ten.
It's common sense to not sing this late even if you're good.
You heard? I moved here because they said it had sound-proof walls.
- Sorry about that.
- Especially since you can't sing You're really causing a disturbance.
- Huh? - Disturbance at night is a crime.
You can get penalized if I report you.
So you're going to report me? For singing? When we are neighbors? I'm not saying that I will report you.
I'm saying it's common sense So you're telling me that I lack common sense.
- What I'm.
- So I am stupid and ignorant? Stupid! Brainless! Botox! You're saying that I got botox in my brain and that it's wrinkle free! That's what you're saying right now! I only ate an apple and half of a cabbage head today and I'm still full.
Because people gave me so much crap.
But I never imagined that you'd give me even more crap for singing! Can't I sing for a sec? After all the crap I've been through? Where do I relieve my stress? I ate an apple and half of a cabbage head all day! It's okay.
You don't need to apologize.
I don't feel like talking to you anymore.
What did I do wrong? Are you guys so perfect then? Are you that smart? You said that I was the prettiest and that I was your favorite.
And now you're talking crap about me.
You have no loyalty whatsoever.
[Record of the last three months on Earth.
.]
But this is unacceptable.
Se Mi woke up at two to be on standby, and got her hair and makeup done.
And we got here at 4:30.
And it's already nine! - But the director is not ready yet.
- What could I do about it? Can you do this just because she's not the lead actress? Would you have had Cheon Song Yi wait this long? What does she have to do with this? Se Mi was in only three scenes yesterday.
Her first scene was in the morning.
Her second was at five in the afternoon.
And her last scene was at midnight.
While Song Yi got 20 scenes in seven hours.
Then become a star! Or you can just quit.
What? That's enough.
I'm sorry! He's a bit sensitive today.
Why does everyone take me for granted? I can't take this anymore.
This always happens.
Just ignore it.
Where is Song Yi when she was supposed to standby at eight? Song Yi is going to be late today.
She may not make it.
Why? Didn't you see the news? We always hear about the special admissions process that celebrities get to enter college.
What's more is that they are treated as stars even at school.
An anonymous reporter said that Cheon Song Yi hasn't been coming to school for months now.
So we visited the school.
Anonymous? Who is it? - Have you seen Cheon Song Yi recently? - I saw her yesterday.
- Where? - On TV.
She's always on commercials.
Then you've never seen her at school? I don't think I've seen her.
Didn't she graduate? How can I go to school when I'm shooting a drama? Isn't this too much? Her agency stated that she can't go to class due to her busy schedule.
- Yes.
- However.
When she is supposedly busy with her schedule Apparently, she had enough time to enjoy a cup of latte and post about it.
She didn't look busy at all.
She used her stardom to gain admission.
Now she's neglecting her duties as a student.
How long can we ignore this? SBC News Ha Jung Woo reporting.
Stay away from comments on the Internet.
I asked Director Park for some time off.
We will be shooting your scenes only at night and on weekends.
Go to school today.
Going to school right after the news report makes me look undignified.
Of course people will say that you're undignified.
But if you don't go at all they will say that you don't listen.
And they will hate you for it.
Let's go to school.
Isn't it time for Hee Kyung's arrival? He probably arrived already.
I told him to study hard.
But he was following a girl instead.
What a fool.
How is the real estate buy up going for the shopping mall? Is he still not selling his land? No sir.
We're trying to convince him, but it's not easy.
We need this taken care of before the shareholders' meeting.
I can take care of it.
How? The owner of the land just passed away.
He ran into a guard rail.
He must have fallen asleep while driving.
Did he? That's really I don't want to be happy about a person dying.
- But does it make it easier for us? - Of course.
His son wanted to sell it because he's in need of cash.
Good.
- Congratulations Father.
- Call Hee Kyung.
- Let's have dinner together.
- Okay.
Sorry.
I want to, but you know I prioritize girls over family.
She must've been pissed.
I have to go comfort her.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
Watch your step.
- Hee Kyung! - Song Yi! You've gotten prettier.
You may really become a goddess.
When did you come here? You haven't seen me in six months.
Aren't you glad to see me? I can't afford the luxury to be glad.
I heard you were going to school.
I will take you, get in.
You look like you're in a good mood.
It all happened for the best.
Cut down on your schedule.
Graduate school next year and we can get married.
Drop me off in front of the cab over there.
What's wrong? Are you never going to get married? - I never said that.
- So you will get married.
- Eventually.
- Then marry me.
And the sooner the better.
I'd eventually marry someone one day.
But it's not next year.
- Why not? - Then I don't get offers for melodrama.
I will start getting old lady roles.
No! You're pretty.
You can be in melodrama and rom-com even after getting married.
If you don't get offers, I will have my father pay for the producing.
I don't do rom-coms.
I want to do steamy melodrama.
- Steamy? - Yeah.
You don't like it? Of course I do.
Steamy relationships are the best for melodramas.
- Soft melodrama is no good.
- There will be kiss scenes and bed scenes.
Hey, I understand.
You know I was born in America.
I have an American mind.
It's open.
I understand your professional career.
I don't care if you understand or not.
As long as my future husband does.
That's going to be me.
I think I told you a thousand times since middle school.
I'm not even talking in English that you hate so much.
Can't you understand? Song Yi is here! She's not taking pictures! Sorry! No pictures! Sorry! Sorry, she won't take pictures.
Put the phone away.
I want to be that book.
I want to be that chair.
I want to be her hair.
- She got a nose job.
- Yeah, that can't be natural.
She carved her chin.
No one is born like that.
Anyone can look like her if she gets made.
- You would be prettier if you had it done.
- You would be too.
Go get some surgery done so that I can battle you.
Song Yi, calm down.
You're here to look good.
What's taking them so long? Start the class already and get it over with.
- Hi.
- Hi.
The next door neighbor! What's he doing here? Do you know him? Yeah, I know him.
He lives next door.
- Really? That's good.
- Yang Ga Jung.
This isn't a drama class, so it's difficult.
You have to retake this class because you received an F in it.
What? You didn't do anything wrong to him did you? You moved yesterday.
I'm sure you didn't have time.
I did have time.
I can see that you're young and energetic.
Go study or work out to use that energy.
Why? So you're going to report me? You're saying that I got botox in my brain and that it's wrinkle-free! When blowflies mate, the female blowfly eats the male blowfly.
The male fly wants to mate, but doesn't want to get eaten.
In other words, it wants to keep eros without thanatos.
So the male blowflies find a strategy.
It brings something to eat for the female.
The females eat the piece of meat the male brings while mating.
The male could mate without being in danger.
Then even more advanced males bring their sacrifice wrapped in a cocoon.
The male now has more time because the female needs to take the wrapping off.
Because this method worked cunning males wrapped their food in thick cocoons without fillings.
When the female finds out that she has been fooled, the male is already done.
After a while the females started checking the gift by shaking it.
But now even more advanced males wrap their feces inside.
Because it weighs about the same.
Professor! I couldn't even imagine it because you looked so young.
What a surprise? It was really good to see you.
- Good to see me? - Of course! Oh, is it because of last night? Were you surprised? Me too.
I get bipolar sometimes.
I think it was last night.
It's like a common cold nowadays.
What do you want? About the essay you assigned.
I thought that it was quite a lot of work.
And? Why do you think Asia became one? I believe it's thanks to Hallyu.
Culture made us one.
And I'm at the very core Yeah I'll just get straight to the point.
I'm really busy because of drama shooting, but I got butchered on the news yesterday.
So I have no choice but to come to school.
But the essay is too much work for me.
So please help me! Please! I know that I didn't leave the best impression.
But look at the coincidence.
You're my next door neighbor and you're also my professor! You never know, this could go a long way.
I could pay you back one day.
That's just life.
What? That's not life.
What? Once I help you, then there's going to be a second time and a third time.
You're going to mooch off of me for more help.
That's how people live.
And there won't be a day you pay me back.
Because life is too short for a person to grow up.
Did he just speak informally? He's obviously younger than me! You should've recognized Cheon Song Yi at least.
Even I know her.
I don't know the celebrities these days.
They have no class.
They're just loud.
Yeah, the singers were better in the old days.
Old songs were much better.
Bae Ho is the best singer.
Of course.
He's the best by far.
I don't even watch the dramas nowadays.
But when I hear about them I don't understand.
How are they entertaining? The older dramas were better.
'Assiyuro.
' The best.
How is the new lawyer's office you opened up? I do mostly pro bono cases.
I'll need you to work on my death certificate for three months later.
Again? I thought the routine was every ten years.
It's only been 2 years.
Is something wrong? You're a great lawyer, of course there's no problem.
I think it's going to be the last one.
What? I'm going back home in three months.
Thank you for everything.
This is all too sudden.
You were my only friend, Mr.
Jang.
Are you going to settle this time? I'm not doing well in school anyway.
Going again will only hurt the economy.
Yes, you should do your country a service.
In that sense Se Mi.
- Huh? - Be our witness.
I'm going to propose.
Isn't 15 years a long enough wait? Do you remember this picture? It's the only picture I have because you hate taking pictures.
You're the same, only I got old.
You're still as young as you were 30 years ago.
And handsome.
This is the reason why I didn't like making friends.
People age quickly.
- And die.
- Only I get left behind.
As the same young, handsome man.
Live long even when I'm gone.
But I always wanted to know.
When you first came here Why couldn't you go back right away? There was an accident.
I couldn't go back because of the accident.
A child had to die because of it.
Which child? She was the first person to give me a present.
It's a present.
I drew it myself.
The thing you came in was flying in the air.
Like the Moon.
But are you really the Grim Reaper? But then - Something strange happened.
- What? What happened? It was Christmas Eve twelve years ago.
I was working as a surgeon in Gyeonggi.
It was the first time something like that happened.
She had the same face as the girl you saw 400 years ago? - Yes.
- And? Did you go to the same spot you saw her? Hee Kyung.
You bought me a ring on Christmas Eve in middle school.
I did, but you didn't accept it.
I'm not going to accept it today either.
Sorry.
It's not the first time.
It doesn't even hurt anymore.
But let me hear the reason.
What's the reason? Why not me? Do you remember his face? Who? Song Yi! Merry Christmas! Why did you come here again? Get lost! Move! Song Yi! Song Yi! Cheon Song Yi! Don't come near me! Leave me alone! Cheon Song Yi! Song Yi! Do you remember? I didn't get to see him.
But even if I did, I wouldn't remember it.
I saw him.
I saw him, but I can't remember.
Why do you care? He was Song Yi's first love.
She didn't talk to him or be with him for a few hours.
It was a few seconds.
She doesn't even remember his face.
Maybe not first love.
I just want to meet him again.
To thank him for saving me.
I just want to ask him why he saved me.
Something like that.
That night.
I went there again.
- Cheon Song Yi! - Don't come! Leave me alone! Who are you mister? Are you a ghost? Or Are you like the Grim Reaper? Was that night just a dream? Can two people look so alike? If it weren't a dream, I'd like to see her again before I leave.
But that'd be impossible.
- What special? - Song Yi Special! I'm only a star outside.
I'm just an ordinary student at school.
Cheon Song Yi, you copied and pasted.
You got a zero.
- How old are you? - Do I have to answer it? I'm only a human.
Am I not allowed to make a mistake? - Asshole.
- The child you met 12 years ago I'm looking for her.
Won't I meet her again if there's a reason? Open sesame! Professor Do! He's such an asshole.
He's so cocky to be a doctor at such a young age.
Who cares if he's a genius and went to Harvard? He can't get along with people.
That's because he didn't enlist in the army yet.
Army is the best medicine for assholes like him.
Enlisting him for two years and chewing him out will put some sense in his head.
Only then he will become a man.
Army? Have you seen anyone enlisted for the Qing war? Back then we wore Hadoshi instead of bulletproof vests.
We wore nine layers of clothing to take bullets.
I thought that I'd finally be free after the Liberation of Korea.
Then there was a civil war and the country was divided.
I've served in the army, the navy, the marines, and the air force since then.
I had to get a new identification every ten years, and I had to enlist every time.
Psy is crying about going to the army twice.
I was enlisted 29 times since the Joseon Era.
During the 400 years I lived in this country I served in the army for Can you believe that? He should join the marines!
