She sawed her arm in her heart. The left arm didn’t listen to her since then. She was dedicated to act. But the movie “Second Sister Without A Hand” was called “Second Sister Without A Brain” online. She would be very angry as long as she saw weird movies. Because she knows it will show that she’s such an idiot if it’s filmed. She decides to write it, rather than lets a terrible script control her like a fool.
Dong-Man invites Mi-Ran to come to his class. She rejects it. Because she doesn’t want to study. Writing is the most boring thing in the world. She likes to open her heart to write and act. She tells him that he’s like a writer who can write scripts. Her arm moves when she hears his words. It’s like a dead who opens her eyes suddenly. He reveals Gyeong-Se’s nickname was The King of Licking Melons.

He persuades her not to accept someone else’s trash. He tells her that workplace isn’t a place to promote humanitarianism. She points out who will discover up-and-coming directors if she only works with big directors. He thinks she doesn’t have to do so. Because the wealthy will only focus on solid reputation masters. There’s no tragic genius or the overlooked master.
Eun-A receives a message from Jae-Yeong. He tells her that he cannot have her sign the script. He threatens her that he will go to her company and embarrass her. She wishes she has a brother.

Gyeong-Se worries that Dong-Man will win if he debuts. But Yeong-Su tells Gyeong-Se that Dong-Man liked his first move very much. He comforts him that they would use someone else’s story. He thinks Dong-Man couldn’t make it even if Gyeong-Se told it to Dong-Man. The guy missed many stories. He doesn’t know how good his stories are. He has looked for new stories.
