00:00A beautiful actress suddenly wakes up in shock as her agent informs her that she was caught by the paparazzi.
00:05The news of your date with Park Kong last night is everywhere. Park Kong remains unfazed.
00:10He's been through this many times before. His own agent reassures him,
00:13Don't worry, I'll handle it as usual. We'll say you were discussing a script, not dating.
00:18Do you know what you're doing from your company?
00:20Yeah?
00:21What did you say?
00:22You're not a kid, but you're not a kid.
00:25I'm not a kid!
00:28Park Kong, the most popular idol in Korea, has amassed countless fans with his handsome looks.
00:33Even in his 30s, he's still incredibly popular.
00:36As an idol, Park Kong doesn't need acting skills.
00:39He often forgets his lines during shoots.
00:41Whenever he forgets lines, he throws a tantrum.
00:44What's wrong with writers and directors these days?
00:46Writing such complex lines.
00:48Do they think I'm taking a civil service exam?
00:50Everyone just apologizes profusely.
00:53His smooth sailing career has made Park Kong increasingly arrogant.
00:56He throws a fit if his agent's coffee is a bit too hot, scolding him in public.
01:01Even though his agent is his best friend.
01:03Despite his lack of acting skills,
01:05Park Kang's immense popularity won him the Best Actor Award this year.
01:09Meanwhile, in a humble eatery, Park Kang's first love watches the live broadcast.
01:13Her face filled with nostalgia and regret.
01:16Soon after, Park Kang also arrives at the eatery.
01:19It's Christmas Eve, but he's alone, accompanied only by his agent who spared some time to be with him.
01:24The agent couldn't help but remark that this place was where they used to come often when they were theater actors.
01:29By the way, I heard your first love is now a famous painter and just returned home for an exhibition.
01:34Do you want to see her?
01:35Park Kang fell silent, remembering that this was where he and his first love had fallen for each other.
01:4010 years ago, he had also broken up with her here to pursue his acting career.
01:44Speaking of which, the agent recalled events from 10 years ago.
01:48They had both made it to the final round of auditions, but the agent gave up to settle down and get married.
01:53Park Kang skyrocketed to fame and idol dramas as a result.
01:56If I had been chosen, I'd probably be more famous than you now, the agent joked.
02:00Bro, get some plastic surgery first before dreaming, Park Kang retorted.
02:05After dinner, Park Kang took Aditi ride home.
02:08The driver started talking about some strange things, asking if Park Kang was happy and if he had any regrets.
02:13Many people become rich and famous only to realize it's not the life they wanted, the driver mused.
02:19Park Kang soon fell into a deep sleep.
02:21When he woke up, he was shocked to find a pair of twins calling him daddy and a beautiful woman, his first love, calling him honey.
02:28What was going on?
02:29Park Kang, in a panic, rushed out of the house only to find himself in an ordinary suburban neighborhood.
02:34When he tried calling his agent, he got a number not in service message.
02:38This must be a prank by his agent, he thought.
02:41With no other option, Park Kang drove his beat-up car back to his high-end apartment in Seoul.
02:46As usual, he casually greeted the two guards at the entrance.
02:49Who was this guy?
02:50One of the guards muttered, puzzled.
02:52Park Kang headed straight to his apartment, but the code for the door didn't work.
02:56After several attempts, a man opened the door.
02:59Who are you, and what are you doing in my home?
03:07Park Kang was stunned.
03:08How could anyone not recognize the hottest star?
03:11Fuming, he barged in, causing the man inside to panic.
03:15The two guards quickly ran over to intervene.
03:17Park Kang tried his best to explain.
03:19Even if you don't recognize me, you should at least recognize this famous face, right?
03:24So, Park Kang ended up at the police station.
03:26No matter what he said, no one believed him.
03:29Not long after, his first love arrived, asking what on earth he was doing.
03:33What does your husband do?
03:40He keeps insisting he's a big star, an officer asked her.
03:44Embarrassed, she replied.
03:45My husband is indeed an actor, but he only performs in plays and sitcoms.
03:50He's not famous at all.
03:51Oh, so he's just frustrated with his career and having a breakdown.
03:55Someone commented, this world is crazy.
04:04And you, are you really my first love?
04:07Are we married?
04:08What on earth is going on?
04:09Park Kang thought to himself.
04:10This fierce woman is terrifying.
04:12Then it struck him.
04:13It must be that strange DD driver who was behind all this.
04:17He had no choice but to follow his first love home.
04:20She had things to do and asked Park Kang to take the twins out to play.
04:23Park Kang, however, wasn't in the mood.
04:26These kids had appeared out of nowhere.
04:28Better hire a nanny, he thought.
04:30Park Kang's mind was a mess.
04:31How much did you drink last night?
04:33We can barely pay the rent.
04:35What?
04:36This house is rented?
04:37This life is such a failure.
04:39How pathetic.
04:40With no choice, Park Kang took the twins out to play, feeling utterly exasperated with
04:45the rambunctious kids.
04:46They eagerly insisted on watching TV.
04:48To his astonishment, he saw himself on TV, not as a star, but a minor character in a sitcom
04:54basically an extra.
04:55Oh my god.
04:56I've traveled to a parallel universe, he thought.
04:58In this world, he had married his first love and had kids early, preventing him from
05:03becoming a superstar and leaving him as a nobody.
05:05He tried explaining this to his first love, but she didn't believe him.
05:09You drank too much.
05:10Just sleep it off, and you'll be fine.
05:13This reminded Park Kang of his duty as a husband to sleep with his first love at night.
05:17The thought was both embarrassing and thrilling.
05:19His first love found his behavior odd.
05:21Why are you wearing cologne and brushing your teeth tonight?
05:24That's not like you at all.
05:25After all, they had been married for 10 years, and the passion was long gone.
05:36She completely missed Park Kang's blatant hints, but Park Kang still couldn't help wanting
05:41to keep going.
05:42A new day began with Park Kang being woken up early by the noisy twins, unable to get a
05:47good night's sleep.
05:48Worse still, he had to spend the entire day taking care of them, feeling utterly tormented.
05:53Adding to his misery, he had to cook and do household chores with his first love.
05:57This life made him feel like he was better off dead.
05:59I used to be a superstar, adored by everyone.
06:02Now I'm just a useless, downtrodden man.
06:05This is unacceptable.
06:06In this world, he was a struggling theater actor, handing out flyers every day with hardly
06:11any audience.
06:12This situation made him think of his agent.
06:14After giving up the competition, his agent stayed in the theater troupe, became a sitcom
06:19actor to support his family, and eventually became an agent.
06:22Park Kang wondered how he was doing now.
06:24The more he talked to his colleagues, the stranger it seemed.
06:27Wasn't Jo Yoon already a superstar?
06:29They asked.
06:30Curious, Park Kang checked out the latest blockbuster, and sure enough, Jo Yoon was the lead.
06:35No doubt, their lives had swapped.
06:37He immediately ran to his old studio, which was now Jo Yoon's.
06:41Jo Yoon had no idea what had happened to them.
06:44He was glad his childhood friend came to find him.
06:46Back then, we were both competing for a major role in an idol drama.
06:50But that day, you gave up and rushed to the airport to stop your first love from going
06:54to the U.S. for her studies.
06:55You married her and had kids.
06:57If it weren't for that, you might be the superstar now.
07:00Honestly, I'm happy with how things turn out.
07:02Unlike me, who's single and constantly changing girlfriends it's exhausting.
07:06Park Kang felt an indescribable mix of discomfort and jealousy.
07:10On his way back, he passed by his first love's painting exhibition.
07:14She could've gone to study abroad and become a great artist.
07:17But now she was working hard teaching children to paint and supporting the family.
07:21She must regret it, he thought.
07:23But his first love said she had no regrets and loved her current life.
07:26Especially with their two adorable children.
07:28If I hadn't chosen to stay for Park Kang, none of this happiness would exist.
07:32Park Kang was deeply moved and suddenly found his first love even more beautiful and charming than he remembered.
07:38After that, Park Kang accepted his new life and began integrating into it.
07:50He quit his current job and continuously went to auditions, hoping to re-enter the entertainment industry and make a name for himself again.
07:57However, his prime had passed, and his acting skills were average, opportunities were scarce.
08:02That day, Jo Yoon proposed that Park Kang become his agent, saying he was going solo and needed someone trustworthy.
08:08I promise you'll be well compensated, Jo Yoon assured him. Park Kang was furious.
08:13You little brat. In another life, you were my agent, and now you wanna boss me around?
08:18Jo Yoon chased after him, desperately trying to persuade him.
08:21You need to support your family now.
08:23You need to do it.
08:25You need to do it.
08:26You need to do it.
08:27You need to do it.
08:28You need to do it.
08:29You need to do it.
08:30But Park Kang couldn't get over his pride.
08:32It wasn't until the day when his son suddenly got injured, and his first love rushed over, revealing that she had been secretly working part-time at a supermarket.
08:40There's nothing much to do at the art class during the day, so I thought I'd earn some extra money to help you with new headshots and auditions, she explained.
08:48The more Park Kang listened, the angrier he became.
08:51Why do you have to make us live so miserably?
08:53Can I support our family?
08:54A quick check of his savings revealed the harsh truth.
08:57After 10 years, he had only a few hundred bucks saved.
09:00What a failure, left with no choice, Park Kang swallowed his pride and agreed to be Jo Yoon's agent.
09:06Making money was now the priority.
09:08Like Jo Yoon used to do for him, Park Kang began taking care of Jo Yoon's daily needs, handling all the tedious tasks and rumors, and attending to him on set.
09:16But he endured it all for his family.
09:18Park Kang diligently supported his childhood friend while also being there for his wife and kids.
09:23He fully embraced his role as a husband and father, understanding the true meaning of responsibility and commitment.
09:29Though his current life was ordinary, it was true happiness.
09:32His former glamorous life had left him feeling empty inside.
09:35Gradually, Park Kang let go of his dream of returning to stardom.
09:39He now felt he had everything, time quickly passed, and the next Christmas Eve arrived.
09:44Jo Yoon won the Best Actor award for his new drama.
09:47This time, it was Jo Yoon who visited that small eatery, reminiscing about the old days.
09:52After the show, Park Kang took a DD ride home, with his wife and kids eagerly waiting for him to bring gifts.
09:58To a shock, the mysterious driver reappeared, telling Park Kang that tonight was the last night of his trial experience.
10:04The driver explained that he had sacrificed everything for his acting career, only to realize the irreversible regret of not spending enough time with his wife and son after his death.
10:13I was your father, he revealed.
10:15And I wanted you to learn what's truly important.
10:17At this moment, Park Kang couldn't bear to lose everything he had now.
10:21But what could he do?
10:22He went home, pretending to be strong, celebrated Christmas with his family, tucked the twins into bed, and watched over them late into the night.
10:31Finally, he held his first love tightly, praying that this life wouldn't slip away.
10:35The next morning, he woke up to reality back to being the lonely superstar, though only a night had passed.
10:41Park Kang remembered his agent Jo Yoon mentioning the art exhibition his first love was hosting, and without hesitation, he went to see her.
10:48She was shocked and overjoyed, clearly never having forgotten him.
10:52Park Kang took her to the home where he had lived for a year, cherishing it as the best time of his life.
10:57He had so much to say to her.
10:59Eventually, they stayed together and even recreated their adorable twins.
11:03Meanwhile, in the other world, the superstar Jo Yoon left the eatery and encountered a strange DD driver.
11:09And with that, the movie ends. See you next time!
11:39Bye!
11:40Bye!
