#1

OPENING

We open with Soo-hyun looking miserably out her window just as she did in the first episode. She might have the lipstick on that Jin-hyeok gave her. She sighs and then turns her head as someone comes in. She is expecting him, it is ED Choi.

SH – Sit.

He sits and she starts talking. She says that she never had to experience things like this before but because of him she has to. He feigns misunderstanding.

SH – When I was away you just took someone away and hit the back of my head (backstabbed me).

ED – I did not know the hotel CEO used these kinds of expressions *chuckles* It is embarrassing.

SH – I am just matching your class to make you understand it easier.

ED – *clears throat*

SH – This is the first time I have had to deal with this sudden relocation that does not make sense. What did you do?

ED – HR decided ~.

SH – Do you think I called you before looking into it?

ED – CEO, lets be honest with each other ~.

SH- That is what I want.

ED – Do you think I did it myself? Don’t you think Taekyung is behind the scenes.

SH – Now I know that you are always side tracked. We talk about Donghwa but you talk about Taekyung, that is why you are lost alone.

ED – Donghwa is not by itself.

SH – So, should I take it that DongHwa’s owner is Taekyung?

ED – I cannot deny that.

SH – The reason I cancelled my schedule and called you was for this. If you cross the line one more time, You will need to be responsible for your actions.

ED – Are you threatening me? Do you think Taekyung Group will let it happen?

SH – In Seokcho, I expressed myself in the mudtrap that you made, I showed my will against TaeKyung. Pick one. You will be lost as TaeKyung’s Marrionete, or you will learn how to be respected as DongHwa hotels executive Director. You can leave now.

She walks back to her desk. he looks like he made a huge mistake.

HALLWAY

Hye-in calls Jin-hyeoks name as he walks to the office. Sh runs up to him.

HI – I need to turn myself in, I called the CEO, I think she should know because you will be kicked out without anyone stopping it. If she knows about it after her business trip, she will be sadder.

JH – Thank you for carring about me.

HI – You aren’t angry

JH – I would do the same if I was you. We are friends.

He continues walking up the hall. HI looks a bit sad at the mention of friends.

Jin-hyeok gets to Mijin’s desk. She asks him what is up Mr. Jin-hyeok. He says that he wants to see the CEO. She asks if he is the one that called her. He wants to know if that is important. Mijin does not answer and just calls Soo-hyun to go inside.

Cut to Jin-hyeok sitting across from Soo-hyun. The painting is a lonely girl sitting alone in the dessert. 

SH – i am sorry you have to go through this lonely thing. It is all my fault.

JH – It is not your fault, I am okay.

SH – I will put it all back to normal

JH – Will you cancel it?

SH – Yes, becaue it is unfair.

JH – Putting things back, that is like you are giving me a favor.

SH – Well, this matter is…

JH – It is not like you. When I first heard how you started this hotel and made it like it is now, I thought you were a very cool person. making this kind of decision is not like Cha Soo-hyun CEO. Let me go and see how I come back to my position. Watch me.

SH – Kim Jin-hyeok~.

JH – I have one big worry, that I want to come back to see you because I miss you. 

SH – This is not something we should joke about.

JH – After finishing up my work for the morning, I will leave tomorrow.

SH – *thinks*

They sit quietly.

ILLUSTRATION: The boy and the girl fly toward each other as if they will kiss, but then they pass each other.

#2

Cut to Soo-hyun’s mother. She asks her if she wants something to drink. But soo-hyun says that this will not take too long. Umma sits.

MO – What’s up.

SH -I wanted to let you know just in case you will be super surprised later.

MO – Did you cause another incident?

SH – It is an incident to you.

MO – What are you talking about?

SH – After I was born, mom was mom and dad was dad.

MO – Don’t play with words

SH – I am not saying that I don’t like it. I lived my life well according to your plan. Doing what I want in my life is a luxury to me. I am already in my mid 30s.

MO – Because of your mother, you are at least Taekyung’s daughter in law.

SH – that was my decision so I don’t blame you. But I don’t live my life like that.

MO – So what?

SH – I think Taekyung will sue me.

MO – Sue? We are just starting, why does she have to sue you?

SH – We are not starting over.

MO – In=laws are always difficult, your grandmother was difficult to me.

SH – I smiled when I got a divorce. I was smiling because I could live. I am not going back. You should stop meeting with Chairman Kim, you will only get hurt.

MO – Will you fight against her?

SH – I am going to meet with my lawyer for the lawsuit.

MO – Are you crazy?

SH – I am not discussing this with you, it is my decision. *stands up*

MO – Sit down. Is this because of that guy? that is why you are this crazy?

SH – *still standing* for the first time in my life, I want to be the owner of my life. Not because of someone and not for somone. 

MO – Don’t you think of your father? The presidential election is not that far away.

SH – Do you think that is politics if it does not happen only because of me? that is not politics. Appa did everything, not you, not me, Appa did everything. *leaves*

Soo-hyun rides in her car looking out the window. She tells Nam that he can leave.

Nam – You don’t want me to drive, where are you going?

SH – On a date.

Nam – !!!!!! I can get out right here!

SH – *smiles*

In the office, HI asks Jin-hyeok what happened. He tells her that he is going to Seokcho. Hye-in thought she would have kept him here but he says that he asked her to send him off. HI think JH needs to think of his life, if a new employee goes to Seokcho then that means~. But he just says that he thinks this is the best decision. He can protect her the best way this way. Let’s get back to work. He gets up and leaves.

But then he gets a text and pulls out his phone.

SH: Lets have a goodbye party.

JIn-hyeok smiles as he reads it.

FRUIT SHOP

Jin-hyeok’s appa and umma are talking. She made him something warm to drink and tells him to drink it all, don’t share it. But she is a bit bummed. Appa asks what is the deal. Umma says that she feels bad about this. She feels worse about Jin-hyeok going tot he country side than when he went to the army. I think my jin-hyeok might have done something wrong at work. Maybe his superiors don’t like him.

Appa tells her not to talk nonsense. No one would not like him. She says that she knows that which is why she is so worried. Appa tells her to head on home and he will go home early as well. Umma sniffs a bit and tells him that she will go to the market. Appa calls after her and says that the tea tastes good. umma is all like, yeah, it’s because I made it.

COMPANY

Jin-hyeok talks to all his people at work. Sun-joo thinks that they should have a goodbye party. Han-gil thinks that is great as well. But Jin-hyeok says that he will have another appointment actually. they all think it must be with the CEO. Han-gil is all like, okay, I will visit you in Seokcho. They keep talking about little things and then Eun-jin starts bickering with Han-gil about how he would annoy someone. Han-gil tells her to stop talking to him.

Later on, Hye-in makes a coffee when Sun-joo comes in. HI asks her if she has to write an apology letter? Sun-joo says that she will just take that incident as a cute thing that happened.

Elsewhere, Jin-hyeok gets home and packs a few things. His mother is there so she asks him where he is going and that she wanted to have a party with him. He says he is going back to work and will be a bit later. So she tells him that she will have it later, maybe the weekend. he gives her a big hug and she tells him to cheer up my son.

Cut to Jin-yeok driving Soo-hyun somewhere along the coast. She asks him where they are going? He tells her they will go somewhere with nice wind. They end up walking along the coast holding hands.

SH – I did not know that we had this nice of a place nearby.

JH – I came here sometimes to take a photo of the wind.

SH – You can take pictures of the wind?

JH – I take photos of the reeds so you can see the wind.

SH – You should be a poet.

JH – It is my secret, no one knows about it, but I once applied for a poetry event.

SH – Really?

JH – Yeah, but I failed. I thought, ah, poetry is not for everyone.

SH – What abotu photography?

JH – that is my secret.

SH – You failed again?

JH – Yes, I failed. I made it as a hobby.

SH – I know two of your secrets

JH – So that means we have a special relationship because you know two of my big secrets.

SH – Have you been over there? 

JH – Yes, It has a nice view.

In front of them is a twisted staircase tower that is about 3 stories high. They walk all the way to the top.

SH – I feel cool up here.

JH – Ah, it is cold outside, yo might catch a cold. *takes off his jacket*

SH – It is okay, you are the one that is cold.

JH – It is okay, *puts his kacket on her* it’s warm right?

SH – Yes, it is warm.

he smiles at her and she smiles back and then they watch the view together as he holds her shoulders. Later on, they keep walking. The English song starts playing.

SH – If you catch a cold, it is not my fault.

JH – I am not that weak.

SH – Now I have more memories.

JH – What memories?

SH – Good memories. you know those things, while working, I think about them and brushing my teeth I think about it, those memories that make me smile when I am by myself. After I met you in Cuba, I have more of those memories.

JH – Me too. you are in Hong-jae neighborhood playground. You in front of the toy crane machine. And you are there in my Cuba memory. Lets survive this time through good memories.

SH – Yes, lets do it, I will try.

He stops and looks at her.

JH – I have another secret. I learned love from books. yes, that kind of thing is love. When I am in love, I will become like that.

He looks at her for a moment and then holds her other hand.

Jh – Now it is clear. Because of you, I know what those things are. It is clear to me. 

he holds her hands softly and she smiles.

SH – Your third secret is wonderful.

The camera scrolls out to a birds eye view of them.

Later on, the two of them are sitting at a cafe and looking out the window. They are framed by the window. He tells her that this is his present to her. He sets his camera on the table.

SH – Really? This is important for you.

JH – That is why I want to give it to you more. Since I graduated from the lvoe I learned in books. take good photos and think of me. I will teach you. You press this button, but if you don’t have good exposure then your photo will be shaky. You can change your your exposure here and look at the object and shoot. Try it. I will go to the restroom.

he walks off and she picks up the camera. But then he knocks on the window from outside.

JH – Because your object is a piece of art, whatever you do you will have a good result (he is talking about himself). Try it.

he stands back and poses for her like he is taking a high school photo. he laughs and changes photos and wonders if it is strange. it is actually taking a long time for her to take a photo. he asks her if she can press the button?

But actually we see that she is tearing up a little bit. he does not see that.

SH – Don’t move, yo will shake it.

He nods and stands back and poses. She tears up and takes the photo. it looks like he might also be tearing up a little but it is not clear. They are both smiling.

JIM MYUNG AND DAE CHAN

JM thinks DC is werid for washing his clothing now when he has a date today. You shuold buy clothes, you don’t have anything good to wear anyway. DC tells him that he has good visuals regardless. Then he chuckles that it will be no fun if she tells me that she falls in lvoe with me as soon as we meet. JM wonders where this confidence came from. Then he mutters that they should cut his beard.

DC thinks the place they are meeting at is too expensive. If we don’t like each other then this is a waste of money. I will have to sell several plates of snail to pay it all back. JM thinks he is so cheap, this is an investment, okay?

Cut to DC at the restaurant. He is sitting and looking at the menu. Mijin comes in and walks to the table but stops. They see each other. She is all like, what in the world. She turns around and calls her date. DC licks up the phone.

MJ – Why did you pick up the phone?

DC – Because you just called me.

he stands as she comes to sit.

MJ – is your name Lee Dae-chan?

DC – Is your name Jang Mi-jin?

Mj – Ah, this app has a credibility problem.

DC – I thought I would have a good date. Ugh.

MJ – Why didn’t I remember Chan’s snail cafe?

DC – Why are you picking on my store? Ever since I left the army I put all my life since I was 23 in that cafe.

MJ – You started your business early. Did you run the business while you were in college?

DC – I did not go to college.

MJ – You didn’t go to college?

DC – I am in the snail business, why do I need to go to college?

MJ – Why didn’t you go to college?

DC – It is strange, Jang Mijin, have you ever heard anyone asking you why you went to college? No one asks that, so why do you ask people why you didn’t go to college. Everyone has different ways of living and directions, why do you only think of one way.

MJ – *Takes a huge drink of wine* You are a franchise CEO? Why did you lie!

DC – I am not lying. The first location now is #1. I am going to have 2, 3, 4 later on.

MJ – You can’t call yourself a CEO until after you open them!

She stares at him and then gives him the menu.

MJ – You just eat.

She walks off, but her stomach growls so she comes back. He gives her her menu back.

MJ – *whispers* you should not say this to Kim Jin-hyeok.

She leaves again. DC is all like, what is this.

Mijin goes to Subway and complains about how she couldn’t even eat dinner. She is mad about that. But then she starts to think about him and what she said about the CEO thing. She wonders if she went too far.

DC went home drinking with Hye-in and JM at his snail place. He is wearing the laser hair helmet and says that he is under so much stress so he is preventing his hair from falling out. JM sits at the table and thinks that she did not look crazy on her profile. he tells them that her profile is all fake. Everything is fake. I will complain to the app. HI tells him that there are a lot of good people around, you just don’t see them because you are in the store. Do you want to come to our companies end of the year party?

JM -What is that?

HI – It is a masquerade party.

JM -That would be perfect for you! When you cover up your face you hav a good physique!

HI – Hey, what about his face, he is attractive.

JM – Ah, my hye-in, after working outside a little bit you can say things you don’t mean very well.

HI – Noooooo, we are inviting family memebers and friends. 

JM – Of course we should go.

They all talk about how it will be fun, they also have a raffle ticket. The prizes are huge. They even have a hotel stay. DC thinks he is great at winning free things. JM tells him he likes free things so much. DC and JM start to bicker back and forth about hand me down clothing that Jin-hyeok gives to DC and how he looks so much like an ajusshi. Your clothes don’t fit. Whatever I wear I have a good fit and angle! I don’t compare myself to Jin-hyeok, that is a loosing game.

DC puts his laser hat back on and tells Jm that he bought one that is too small. Hye-in laughs.

Elsewhere, Jin-hyeok sneezes as he drives Soo-hyun home. She thinks he caught a cold but he tells her that he is really okay. However he looks like he is shivering a bit.

Cut to Jin-hyeok in her place. He has the beginings of a cold forming but it trying to make is seem fine. She brings him a drink and a little vitamin. 

JH – *smiles* I will be better very soon with this.

SH – WOuld you like to have a warm tea? You should drink a lot.

She goes to make him a tea, he gets up and watches her make it in the kitchen. She smiles at him as she turns around to walk it out.

SH – This is not like Teacher Lee’s tea, but it is okay. it is a good one.

he keeps looking at her, he looks a bit solemn. He walks up to her as she is pouring it and gives her a light but firm hug around her waste.

JH – I have never ending greediness. I want to drink tea with this person and after drinking tea I want to have dinner with her, I want to tell her about myself and I want to give her my heart. I want to hold her pretty hand.

She soflty touches his hand. 

JH – I want to hug this person.

he keeps standing there closely with her. it is a nice scene. Then she turns around to fae him and holds him around his arm. She smiles lays her head on his chest so he can hug her. They both hug each other warmly. The camera frames them with the fantasy castle illustration behind them.

MORNING

At Jin-hyeok’s home, Jin-hyeok sits and eats with his family. They ask him when he is leaving. he says after breakfast. Jim-myung has no idea what they are talking about. They all have to explain it to them. JH tells him that he is going to Seokcho today. JM wonders why it is only him. JH explains that the hotel business is like that.

JM – What about Hye-in-i?

Umma – Noona! (call her noona)

JM – Okay, noona.

JH – I volunteered for it. I learned a lot because it is a new location.

JM – You will learn a lot at the first location also.

JH – We learn from the branches and go back to the main location also. You know. If I have to work outside the country then you will cry.

JM – If you go outside the country then take me with you.

JH – It depends on how you behave. You should stay and take care of appa.

JM – You told me before that Jin-hyeok drives too carefully soit will take him 3 days to get there.

Appa – What….um…did you pack vitamins for him. *to umma*

Umma – You shuold eat well.

JM – Hyung, you can’t come to the masquerade party. I am going there because NOONA invited me.

JH – I won’t be able to go, so enjoy. 

JM – If I see some nice girls then I will get all their numbers and give them to you.

Umma – Let him eat……does Jin-hyeok really drive for 3 nights and 4 days? I want to mix you two up with your driving speeds.

They keep talking about driving. JM wants a sports car so umma asks for him to drive them around. JM says of course. But only two people can ride together at the same time.

Umma – WHO ARE YOU GOING TO GIVE A RIDE TO, UMMA OR APPA?

SOO-HYUN’S PARENTS HOME

Mi-ok starts to tell her husband to call Soo-hyun and talk to her. All of this is because of that strange guy. Appa tells her that she cannot just say he is a strange guy, he is someones son. Miok explains that she is preparing for a lawsuit. She is blocking. But Appa says that they are the ones blocking their daughters future.

Umma thinks that she is the one that is messing up her families future, but appa thinks that they should not have let her marry intot hat family to begin with. Umma asks if it is all her fault now? Appa says it is all his fault. 

CJH – The money you said you got from the bank with our house as collateral. I did not check, but it was actually from Taekyung. Because of that, when they asked for our daughter, I could not refuse their request. Because of that, we still have this trouble. It is all my fault.

Miok – Why are you talking about all that, it is in the past.

CJH – So just leave her alone! She wants to live her life!

Later on, Hwa-jin calls Woo-seok in to talk with her.

HJ – How much did you give her?

WS – What are you talking about?

HJ – Making her your lover so that you would get a divorce. How much did that cost you? Why do you still have that woman in your heart whom you said your love ended for? After time passes, at least you missed the relationship, that is why you are waiting for Cha Soo-hyun. Do I need to get rid of the other woman? Did you really want Cha Soo-hyun to leave this family that much that you lied to me? That is why you made-up that other lover? That was your excuse? Finally, she made you like this.

MORNING

Everyone is preparing for the party. Nam looks around and thinks that the guy that put this all together is not even here. He shakes his head. But then it looks like he gets an idea. The title of the show is “Masquerade Party in DongHwa hotel” but it also means “Masquerade Party in a Fairytale Story” Nam walks away with this idea in his head.

In her office, Sun-joo gives Soo-hyun a choice of masks, she will stop by the party and it was Jin-hyeoks big project so you should enjoy it also. Soo-hyun asks how the preparation is going. SJ thinks it will be super wonderful. Soo-hyun picks a mask, she picks one becaue she thinks it will cover her face the most.

Meanwhile, Jin-hyeok is working when Nam shows up and yells, what are you doing! Our party is all messed up! You are the one that prepared it! The manager comes out and asks what is going on. Nam tells him that the director wants him to come right now! Come out! Jin-hyeok is all like, right now?

Nam – Will you come tomorrow? After the party is all messed up? Our CEO is so angry right now.

Manager – Well, Jin-hyeok the CEO is angry, I do not want that to affect our hotel so leave now.

Jin-hyeok leaves. Nam looks so angry but starts smiling and then remembers to be angry.

they get to the car. 

JH – I can drive you.

Nam – *angry* I am not here to pick up Kim Jin-hyeok – I am here for my CEO’s boyfrind. *smiles* Hop in.

Jin-hyeok gets into the passenger side and smiles as they leave.

MASQUERADE PARTY

DC and Jim-myung show up. Dae-chan looks so handsome and has a really nice suit. Jim-myung also looks nice and hopes there are a lot of pretty women there. DC is concerned about the store, maybe he should not have closed it? JM is all like, you think to much, lets go. They run up the stairs and run into Hye-in. They all talk about how good they all look, they cleaned up well. They playfully banter about the masks as well. (I should not cover up my pretty face). Then they happily go in.

Meanwhile, Woo-seok gets his mask from Eun-jin. She sweetly tells him to pick anything. he picks a gold one. She whispers, wow, even if you try to cover it up, the royal family aura is still there.

Cut to Mijin and Soo-hyun who are riding the elvator. Mijin is super excited.

MJ – This is so cool, who came up with this plan!

SH – Kim Jin-hyeok shi.

MJ – *complaining* You make the atmosphere cold

SH – What?

MJ – The atmosphere, you are making me sad. *puts on mask* I am so mad, do I need to cover up my beauty.

They both put on their masks and leave the elevator. They walk by Eun-jin and we see that So-hyun and Eun-jin are wearing almost identical outfits and have very similar body types and hair styles. Only their masks are different.

They all enter the party. 

MJ – We should seperate becuase if I am next to you then peole will think you are the CEO. Shoom. *she leaves*

Outside, Jin-hyeok gets to the party but Nam stops him.

Nam – Jin-hyeok wait, don’t you know the concept of the party *playfully*. 

He pops open the trunk and has a suit and mask ready for him.

Mijin stands next to Dae-chan but they don’t know they are each other. The MC thanks everyone for coming and tells them that they all have their own masks. Hopefully you will meet your fated person under one of the masks. We wills tart the party!

DC clincks MIjin’s glass and then both smile as they party gets started. The music is kicked up and everyone starts to dance. JM hangs out with Hye-in and Eun-jin starts to dance by herself seductively. DC and MJ have a fun time together.

Outside, Sun-joo sits next to Nam who is wearing a supe small pumpkin jack o lantern mask. 

SJ – SOme faces cannot be covered up.

They start to banter back and forth about recognizing each other and masks. But then SJ says she is solo now so she will look for a prince charming on a white horse. 

Nam – Ah, you are so childish as a grown up. *touches his mask* Great, everyone will recognize me from far away. Aish. 

Inside, Woo-seok looks for Soo-hyun while Soo-hyun just walks around. Guys try to hit on her but she just keeps walking through the crowd.

it is one minute until new year.

Woo-seok thinks he sees SOo-hyun. He smiles and walks up to her. He grabs her arm and pulls her away.

But then we see that Woo-seok actually grabbed Eun-jin’s hand.

Outside, Jin-heyok takes off his mask, he is the tin man (without a heart). She takes off her mask and they both look at each other. 

Inside the countdown ended and the band kicks in. The lights turn on behind them. The name is Havana Party!

MC – To celebrate DongHwa Havana Hotel in 2019, please enjoy the Salsa and Jazz performance. We invite you to enjoy the fever of Cuba.

Outside, Jin-hyeok smiles as Soo-hyun is so happily surprised. They haven’t talked to each other yet. SOo-hyun looks inside at the Salsa dancers and remembers Cuba. She starts to tear up a bit. The music starts to fade away. He grabs her hand and pulls her closer to him.

A mic speaker buzzes as the jazz fades away and the OST starts.

He pulls her in and kisses her. Then he turns to his head the other way and kisses her again. They keep kissing. Then they stop and look at each other as she cries. He wipes a tear away from her and kisses her again. 

Then he hugs her warmly. They both smile as they enjoy their hug alone on the balcony.

The camera cuts to the last day they spent together in the open field by the sea and still images of the two of them together.

Then we go back to them at the masquerade party. han-gil and Eun-jin awkwardly drink water together.

DC and Mijin continue to have a good time together.

Hye-in and Jim-myeung stand, his hand is on her shoulder so she looks at him like, um, what are you doing? he moves his hand.

Sun-ju and Nam toast as he tells her Happy New Year, thank you. She smiles.

Soo-hyun and Jin-hyeok keep hugging outside.

Fade Out.

ILLUSTRATION: The boy and girl are flying together and they kiss. His hand is on her shoulder and they are also holding their other hands together.

EPILOGUE

Woo-seok walks into a room and pulls out his phone. 

WS – Secretary Kim, can you find out what kind of clothes Cha Soo-hyun CEO wears today?

Cut to him finding her at the party but it is the rong person. IT is Eun-jin. He tells her sorry and keeps walking.

Then we cut to Jin-hyeok calling someone about the masks for the hotel party.

JH – Yes, I already sent you what our guests requested. But can I ask you one more thing separately. For women, I want it to cover up her entire face. I think she will prefer if no one recognizes her……yes, I can give you a sketch. thank you so much. Bye.

he looks at his sketch. He is the Tinman and hers is the full face mask. There is a sticky note at the bottom.

IMPORTANT POINTS

1. It must cover up the entire face.
2. Comfort, so it should have a handle
3. Not a color that stands out

Then he finds her at the party and pulls her outside. His plan worked.

(Note: at the very beginning of the episode it showed the two masks that they wore as the opening image! This show is so detailed.)
