## Script

Expand for script.

* **Anna**: MC? Why did you just hang up on me this morning without letting me finish?
* I stood at the gate of LFG and answered the call in frustration.
* **Anna**: You... you're at LFG, aren't you?
* **MC**: Yes... But to not avail. I signed the investment withdrawal agreement.
* I seemed to be able to see Anna on the other end of the line, petrified.
* **Anna**: Did you meet the CEO of LFG, Victor?
* **MC**: No... I couldn't even get past his assistant.
* **MC**: All we have now is one last episode of Miracle Finder...
* **Anna**: Oh... Still, they probably spared you some heartache. I've heard the CEO is a real terror.
* **Anna**: If you'd have met him today, I doubt if we'd even have a final episode to make.
* Hearing those words, somehow a gangster boss image popped in my mind, like in The Godfather.
* **MC**: ... Really?
* **Anna**: Of course! You're still so green. There is much you should learn. This victor is a legend in finance.
* **Anna**: Loveland Financial Group was founded 8 years ago, and it's the industry leader today. Really incredible...
* **MC**: ... How did they manage that...
* **Anna**: Nobody knows... Probably some invisible tycoon is pulling the strings behind the scene.
* **MC**: No matter who's pulling the strings, they're pulling our funding.
* **Anna**: We can't complain really. The show doesn't have much of an audience anyway...
* **Anna**: When your dad was still around, it was really popular. Maybe the culture's just moved on...
* **MC**: Anna, you practically ran everything for 2 years after dad passed... We owe you a lot...
* **Anna**: Just doing my job, and I didn't do it well... Just trying to keep the lights on until you graduated and could take it over.
* I still remember the promise with Dad when I was a kid: we will make the best show in the world...
* **MC**: Anna, though it sounds unrealistic, I don't want to give up.
* I just can't give up this dream Dad built for me.
* Just then, a scream drew my attention.
* **Passerby Maiden A**: Ahhhh! Look, that's him! My lifelong idol, my one and only-- KIRO!
* **Passerby Maiden B**: Where, where? Let me see. Just one look and you fall in love? Seriously?...
* Following the eyes of the girls, I saw the ad on the giant screen of Trade Tower.
* Superstar Kiro-- in concert, he exudes a glowing aura, attracting every girl that passes by.
* **Passerby Maiden B**: Oh my gosh... How handsome he is... He's glowing!--Ahhhhhh! He's looking at me! No, I'm gonna cry!
* **Passerby Maiden A**: Ahhh! Don't you see he's looking at me? You aren't a fan of his. Drop the act!
* **Passerby Maiden B**: I'm dizzy! Kiro must have the superpower to make everyone fall in love with him!
* **Passerby Maiden A**: So now you admit it? I thought you said before that was all nonsense?
* **Passerby Maiden B**: I do believe now! If superpowers really exist, then Kiro's gotta have one!
* **Passerby Maiden A**: Okay, okay, dry your eyes. Come on! The line for the album is getting longer by the minute.
* **MC**: !!
* An idea pops into my mind. The perfect plan.
* **MC**: Anna, I got a plan! You said before there are countless ways to get a show popular.
* **MC**: How about... for the last show, we put everything we have into getting one, giant superstar to come on.
* I looked at that radiant star on the screen.
* **MC**: Let's invite Kiro!
