No Gain No Love (2024) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
KKULBEE EDUCATION
We have some extra time.
Why don't we help you with your dress?
No, it's all right.
I've already picked out my dress.
Oh, really?
What about the groom's tuxedo?
I could recommend a tailor shop.
Their ready-made options are great,
but you should get a custom-made…
I'm done.
Is that the groom?
Can I step out?
-No!
-Yes!
You see, he just got here
from his part-time job.
He doesn't normally look that…
How do I look, ma'am?
I'm screwed.
Goodness, Ms. Son.
I didn't know you cared about looks.
I do.
Looks are the only thing I care about.
Oh, my.
Give him this.
Mr. Ahn,
I hope we're not taking up
too much of your time.
Why don't you get lost?
It seems Yi-lin really liked
the candle holder
you made her.
This is all your fault.
What do you think, Ms. Son?
It looks great.
What do you think?
I'm happy if you're happy, ma'am.
"Ma'am"?
I see.
"Ma'am" must be his pet name for you!
Yes, it is.
Why don't you call me by a pet name?
Don't just call me Yi-lin.
Why should I when you've got
such a pretty name?
I'm sure it's just Ms. Son's fiancé
who needs a pet name for her
since he's so much younger than her.
We adults don't need pet names
for each other.
I guess you didn't have pet names
for your significant other
back in those days.
"Back in those days"?
These days, guys are all for it.
Right, ma'am?
So how did you two meet?
-He's from my--
-We go way back.
We've known each other since childhood.
EPISODE 3
Are you done choosing your dress?
In that case, can I…
How could you?
Why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?
About all this.
I told you the guests
can't remember your face.
-You can't be this good-looking!
-What?
You should've warned me
about your good looks.
What would I even say?
What else? It's not like you can't talk.
Why didn't you tell me
you're this good-looking and hot?
How could he in that state?
And with that face?
You would've been embarrassed.
Actually, he's a lottery ticket
waiting to be scratched.
Stop it.
With some effort,
he could beat anyone in looks.
What's your name?
I'm Son Hae-yeong.
What a nice name.
I love it.
So you don't take any losses,
is that right?
That's enough.
Ms. Son,
scratch an actual lottery ticket
if you need money
and scratch your own leg if you're bored.
Banking on a guy's face
won't get you anything.
It won't get you any interest,
and looks depreciate rapidly.
Most importantly, nine out of ten men…
are losing tickets.
They just piss you off.
I envy you.
I'd love to meet someone
who sees me as a winning ticket.
What about her?
-Nam-gil!
-Coming!
Take care. Goodbye.
-The weather's perfect.
-Yes, it is.
I'm screwed.
I should've picked out whatever suit
and had him leave.
People are nearer to you than you think.
They're both mine.
I'd like one latte.
No, make it two.
Thank you.
Here, have something sweet.
If you still feel anxious, let me know.
I'll think of a plan.
It tastes amazing, doesn't it?
How can he be
both so shabby and so good-looking?
How do I look, ma'am?
And why…
Why waste your good looks like that?
What?
My grandmother told me good looks
will only give you a tough life.
She said living off of your face
will only lead to ruin.
Did she live a tough life
because of her beauty?
Not her, but my…
But who?
Well…
Never mind.
Then what was that about
back at the bridal shop?
Why flaunt your looks all of a sudden?
That man is your ex, isn't he?
You seemed very reluctant
to have him see me.
Was it that obvious?
You're so shallow.
The strange thing is,
I was embarrassed of myself too,
though I know it's all fake.
You got caught up in it.
Is that why you tried to
show him up with your looks?
Was it pathetic? I admit it was.
Don't admit it.
Ahn Woo-jae wasn't as good-looking as you
at your age.
Also, you've got
a bright future ahead of you.
You win by a landslide.
By the way,
didn't you two break up recently?
It looked like he was married.
They've been together
for more than a year.
A year?
Sorry, I can be dense sometimes.
No worries. I'm the dense one.
He fooled me for six months.
By the way,
you know quite a lot about me.
You know where I live
and who my friends and exes are.
Well, then keep it down in public.
I can't help but overhear things.
Part-timers like me
aren't soulless mannequins.
Did I really talk about my private life
that loudly?
And how do you remember everything?
I just do.
Your words, your actions,
everything.
Being a computer and all.
Anyway,
It's nice to have the rabid dog
as my partner.
-I feel reassured.
-Me, your partner?
Yeah, you're my husband.
What?
This is all over after the wedding, okay?
Oh, is my husband feeling shy?
What's wrong with you?
I'm glad I got to repay
Ms. Son's kindness to me.
Childhood friends?
When did they start dating?
It feels good that I got to help her.
Is he why she broke up with me?
Did she start dating him right after me?
But then again, with such good looks,
he would've looked good in anything.
That young brat…
Did you just swear?
What?
No, I didn't.
It wasn't directed to you.
Are you jealous?
"Jealous"?
Did you not like that I was picking out
another man's tuxedo
and complimenting him?
Well,
I wasn't exactly happy.
I did go overboard.
I was just happy.
You're right.
The groom was quite good-looking.
It's not that.
I was a bit concerned
about you and Ms. Son.
She's a successful and charming person
with a great personality.
She's exactly your type.
Ms. Son?
What do you mean?
I don't see her like that at all.
That's a relief.
Sir, I hear the spice level for the meals
is not up to par.
THE SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING
AND SOFT FLESH COLLIDING
WAS NOT QUITE WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT TO
HEAR IN THE CAFETERIA REFRIGERATOR…
We'll have to make some changes.
The meals are too spicy and hot.
SMIRKING SUGGESTIVELY,
HA-JUN POINTED TO HIS CROTCH WITH HIS CHIN
FOLLOWING HIS GAZE,
SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND
THAT HIS GIRTHY INSTRUMEN
HAD BULGED UP NOTICEABLY
AND MADE ITS PRESENCE KNOWN
Mother.
-Off to work?
-Are you reading?
-What is it?
-It's nothing.
You'll be late.
I'd love a recommendation from you.
See you later, then.
By the way,
I hear you're creating a task force
after the in-house contest.
-Yes, Mother.
-Remember what I said about women.
Unmarried women
shouldn't get anywhere near you,
understand?
I actually wanted to
speak to you about that.
Mother,
I have never disobeyed you,
nor have I been tempted, messed up,
or actually even dated…
Excluding capable employees
for being unmarried
-harms the company's future and--
-"Unlucky woman."
Even with all my wealth,
that's what I've been called
for marrying the wrong man.
Do you want me to be an unlucky wife
and an unlucky mother?
Mother, I--
I trust you, my son.
However, Gyu-hyun,
you're Bok Gi-ho's son.
You're the son of an immoral,
irresponsible, and impulsive man,
Bok…
Gyu-hyun.
I understand.
I'll keep my promise to you
if it'll ease your concerns.
Keep it for your sake, not mine.
Your father is only lenient
with his own faults.
He's not one to understand
and cover for the faults of his son.
If you want to inherit his company,
stay vigilant.
Always.
Regardless, I'm his only child.
Who knows?
He might find a different solution.
"A different solution"?
What was that?
Did your stomach just rumble
in your boss' presence?
Let's just hold back.
Again?
You're hardly holding back.
If I want to get paid,
I need to put up with his power trip.
Just hold back.
-I can hear you.
-What are you doing?
A secretary should hold back
even their stomach growls with their boss.
It's a cookie set.
I hope you can come.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Mr. Bok.
Please go ahead.
No, please get on.
I can wait for the next one.
Get on.
You seem to be in a rush,
Manager Son Hae-yeong.
What is that?
These are gifts I'm handing out
with my wedding invitations.
Gifts?
Do you like cookies?
-I'm not into sweets--
-Yes, he does.
These are 100 percent organic,
handmade cookies.
They're delicious and not too sweet.
And these are my wedding invitations.
I should go and give congratulatory money.
Oh, my!
Not at all, Mr. Bok.
Kkulbee Education provides its employees
with incomparable benefits.
We consider the benefits
provided for the wedding
to be congratulatory money from you.
Congratulations on your wedding,
Ms. Son Hae-yeong.
Thank you, Mr. Bok.
Stuff yourself.
She was right. It's delicious.
By the way,
isn't she neglecting her job
by handing out invitations during work?
Any missing work due to marriages,
pregnancies, childbirth, and childcare
is always more than welcome.
Our greatest rival isn't Genie Education
or Giga Study but…
The low birth rate.
Korea's birth rate represents
how high Kkulbee can fly.
If more people get married,
have kids, and obsess over
early and private education…
You'll make even more money.
Exactly.
Marriage, pregnancy,
childbirth, and childcare?
Try them yourself,
you little…
Secretary Yeo.
Yes, sir?
Attend Ms. Son's wedding
and leave congratulatory money in my name.
A CEO should keep his word,
even if said as a joke.
Me? Why me?
Then should I go myself
and make her uncomfortable?
He makes the joke
and I have to deal with it?
GROOM KIM JI-UK
BRIDE SON HAE-YEONG
-Please come.
-Congratulations.
Are you really getting married?
-It's about time I do.
-Congratulations.
I'll make sure to go.
-Take a lot of pictures.
-Of course.
-Enjoy the delicious food too.
-Congratulations!
Thank you.
KIM JI-UK AND SON HAE-YEONG
These are amazing.
I'm sorry I'm late.
No, we were early.
-I put the slideshow up.
-Thank you.
Listen,
I get that you're busy
with wedding preparations,
but you forgot something important.
Did I?
I made sure to review the presentation.
Not the presentation.
Where's the picture of your groom?
It's not even on the online invitation.
I hear he's very good-looking.
Sorry, it just slipped out.
How does Ms. Kwon
get to see him but I don't?
I'm hurt.
I didn't want to spoil the highlight.
She's not denying it!
By the way, Ms. Son,
did he propose to you?
"Propose"?
-Be mine.
-Be what?
Please be my groom.
What?
I need a groom.
Of course!
I'm marrying him
because he proposed to me.
My husband proposed to me
after the wedding date was set.
I had to force him to do it.
Same here.
Oh, come on.
That's just not my thing at all.
Go big or go home, am I right?
It isn't a proper proposal
if you do it because it's about time,
because your partner asked for it,
or because the wedding date has been set.
That's just congratulating yourself.
-That's right.
-Exactly.
By the way, I don't see a ring.
Isn't a ring essential
for a proper proposal?
Don't be like that.
Am I wrong?
I'm even more curious now.
How did he propose that you accepted
even without a ring?
The thing is…
Did you propose to him?
It's you who's in a rush.
You can find out at the wedding.
Spoilers ruin the fun.
I got it!
Is there going to be a video
just like at Mr. Ahn's wedding?
If you're curious,
please come to the wedding and find out.
-Let's begin the meeting.
-All right.
-I'm done. Let's go.
-Okay.
You can forget about being a jungler.
Why do you always blame me?
She's always here.
Does she live here?
Aren't you going home?
The customers who were going to eat here
are leaving because of you.
What are you looking at?
PUMPKIN MARKE
PROPOSAL
"Proposal items"? Is anyone proposing?
-Yeah.
-Who?
You.
I'm doing what?
You need to propose to me.
Let's back up.
First, I've already agreed to marry you.
Second, it was your idea to get married.
Third, why would I propose to you?
Have you been to a wedding recently?
A wedding is all about
exploiting the guests' labor
to get dolled up, time, and money.
Then you're forced to sit there
and watch a video
detailing the couple's romantic history,
which nobody asked to see.
-And?
-We need a video
showing our romantic history.
You'll do it, won't you?
You're my partner, after all.
-Get out! What with you?
-Look.
I'm not asking
for a night at a five-star hotel
or a diamond ring in a luxury bag.
I just need you to kneel
around some candles and balloons.
How hard can it be to get on your knee?
What you need isn't a proposal
but a psychiatric evaluation.
It's a fake wedding that you wanted.
-So why should I? Get out.
-I'll have everything ready.
Just come and say your lines.
Get on one knee and say,
"Will you marry me?"
You want me to propose to you
using secondhand items?
In front of some garbage?
"Garbage"?
Don't look down on Pumpkin Market.
Items there have only been used once.
They're as good as new.
You'd be a lunatic
to use those things twice!
"Lunatic"?!
You need to do this.
You have to.
We can't get married if you don't.
Good. Cancel the wedding.
Forget about it and just leave.
What about our Baby?
-What?
-If you back out,
what happens to Baby?
Our poor Baby.
-Are you serious?
-What a loser.
You said we'd get Baby surgery
and raise it together.
Our poor Baby…
Stop.
-Baby!
-Stop it.
Baby!
Please stop.
Look!
There's our Baby.
Hey there, Baby.
Did you hear us call you? You're so smart.
Do you want a snack? Just a minute.
There, there.
Wait here.
Our Baby's here.
Drink up.
You don't have to feed me.
What did you say?
Oh, gosh.
I love you too.
Let's run!
Run!
I'm getting dizzy!
This is good.
Hae-yeong's favorite, purple yams.
And your favorite, mandarins.
Let's try some samples.
-Could I try one?
-Yes.
Do you want some, babe?
No, Hae-yeong's on a diet.
Just one, please.
Careful, it's hot.
Open wide.
Isn't it good?
I'm sorry about that.
What do you think?
Is it bad?
Tell me if I got your theme right.
It's supposed to be, "The lovely Hae-yeong
taken by her loving boyfriend," right?
Look at all these displays of emotion,
shifting every frame.
The Hae-yeong in these photos
isn't in love or being loved.
How should I put it?
Her eyes are dead.
What do I do then?
I don't have a proposal video,
so these were supposed to make up for it.
Do you still have any photos
your exes took of you?
She probably deleted them.
I didn't.
Why? It's your cringey past.
A woman who forgets her cringey past
has no future.
Then use those photos.
Your eyes would be full of love in them.
You can say you look young
because the photos were edited.
Imagine one of my exes
coming to my wedding and seeing them.
I'm getting goosebumps.
I have an idea.
I'll let you borrow Producer Yun.
Nobody will be able to tell the difference
if it's taken in the dark.
That's a bit much.
What's wrong with using a stand-in
for your proposal video
when your groom is fake anyway?
Dear friend,
even among closest friends,
certain things should never be shared.
Like what?
Underwear?
Toothbrushes?
-Come on.
-Oh, my goodness.
You're so dirty-minded.
YU-KYUNG
HOW ARE YOU, JI-UK?
COULD YOU AT LEAST SEND A PERIOD
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REPLY?
I'm doing fine.
Don't worry about me.
VOICE CALL REQUEST FROM YU-KYUNG
DECLINE, ACCEP
Hello.
Why aren't you asleep?
Isn't it late there?
Yes, I'm back from my part-time job.
I'll get a proper job at my own pace.
I told you to stop saying that.
Why would I move there?
I don't know anyone there.
Well, what are you to me?
Do me a favor.
Please don't call me again.
I'm getting married.
I'll have a family of my own.
I'd like to try on this one,
these three, and that one.
I'll have this one for my wedding.
It's perfect for you.
Would you like to look at
your groom's ring?
I was actually wondering
if I could rent my groom's ring.
Well, yes, you could.
Could you pick up my package
from the convenience store, Hae-yeong?
She's home all day.
Why is she making me do it?
Excuse me.
Is no one here?
Hey, partner.
Did he go to the bathroom?
What's going on?
Who did this?
Excuse me.
Is anyone there?
What's all this?
What are you doing?
Mustard Pang Pang Jelly?
Do you like it?
It's adorable.
I didn't intend it to be adorable.
Wasn't that what you were aiming for
with the cute jelly ring?
MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY
Ta-da!
Where did you get all these?
Weren't they discontinued?
I called the manufacturer and other stores
and asked if they had any left in stock.
Then I bought them all.
You bought all of this
yourself?
It's your favorite.
And I wanted to see you happy.
So…
what's your answer?
-What?
-If you say yes,
you'll get to keep the world's last batch
of Mustard Pang Pang Jelly
and me, as a bonus.
Would you like me to ring that up, ma'am?
Yes.
Charge me for all of this.
I'll pay you back.
It's fine.
I realized I need to get married.
You need to?
Why?
Are you really not telling me?
I don't keep any secrets from you.
Someone I know lives in Canada
and keeps asking me to move there
no matter how many times I refuse.
So I'm thinking
if I get married and start a family,
they'll stop asking.
Oh, you too?
That person must be married as well.
Were you in love with them?
It was long ago, so I don't remember.
Do you want to try on the ring
I rented for you?
See if it fits.
-Does it fit?
-Yes, perfectly.
What about your ring?
I bought mine.
What happened to "minimal expenses"?
Even after the wedding,
I'll have to wear my ring to work.
I was hesitant,
but I had no choice but to buy it.
Are you sure you won't regret it?
It's your last chance to back out.
I'll regret it…
if I don't win the contest.
The fake wedding would be a waste.
Right.
No matter what happens,
I'm going to win the contest,
get on the fast track to promotion,
succeed wildly,
become the youngest executive…
And?
I'll get rid of everything.
The unfair practice of excluding
single women from promotion.
The discrimination in only providing
benefits to married employees.
You've had enough.
I need to take these to the orphanage.
Partner,
I only accepted your proposal
because it's fake.
This won't fly for the real thing.
Says the person
who wanted to use secondhand items.
At the very least,
I can say that I put my heart into it
and did my very best.
I'm going to avoid any girls who expect
luxury hotels, bags, and diamonds.
You avoid any man
who'd propose with secondhand items.
We'd just need to avoid each other then,
don't we?
I feel bad for the angelic dog
of the convenience store.
What sins is he paying for?
Ms. Cha.
-What?
-Don't you think her eyes are so full?
What's full of what?
Her eyes…
are full of love.
Has she gotten better at acting?
MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY
How adorable.
What was that?
I hope it's not broken.
Does the touchscreen still work?
SPICE UP OUR LOVE EPISODE 100
WEDDING HALL
Cha Hui-seong,
you're a border collie, the sheepdog.
GROWL
Seats on the groom's side
shouldn't be empty.
Guide the guests accordingly.
This way, please.
Could you sit on that side?
All right.
Nam Ja-yeon,
you're a carrier pigeon with fake news.
CUCKOO
I'm at Hae-yeong's wedding.
Well, her husband's entire family
lives overseas.
They couldn't make it here.
At least it's easier for Hae-yeong.
Come up with a good story
as to why the groom's family members
and guests aren't attending.
Oh, I see.
-Thank you.
-Congrats again.
Enjoy the food.
Hae-yeong…
Ms. Son!
Ms. Kwon!
You look stunning!
Thank you so much.
So this is what you chose
instead of the bridal waiting room.
I wish I'd done this too.
It's so beautiful, different, and awesome.
You should do this next time.
By the way, where's the groom?
Oh, my groom?
Wait a minute.
If your friends are a border collie
and a carrier pigeon,
then what am I?
You?
You're a wary cat.
MEOW
Stay hidden and show up
right before our entrance.
I know you'll look dramatically different,
but the less the guests see you,
the better.
I see.
Then who greets the guests?
I will.
They're all my guests anyway.
And the bigger the bride's presence is,
the less memorable the groom will be.
You're not going to use
the bridal waiting room?
Someone else will be using that room.
All right, look this way and smile.
Great. Next in line, please.
Please look here and smile.
Please smile.
Look into the camera, Auntie.
One, two, three.
Next.
Congratulations on Hae-yeong's marriage.
It's Dong-seok, Auntie.
Yang Dong-seok.
I gained some weight, didn't I?
Do you recognize me?
I should've visited you earlier.
I finally understand
what Hae-yeong wanted to do.
This isn't a fake wedding.
It's Mom's first funeral, isn't it?
Look this way, please.
Please smile.
BRIDE'S GUESTS
The wedding ceremony of Kim Ji-uk
and Son Hae-yeong will begin shortly.
Please find your way to your seats.
Could you check on the groom, please?
I don't have my phone with me.
-Sure, just a moment.
-Thank you.
Slow down, Dad.
I'm trying.
How are you more nervous than I am?
Look at me.
-Let me check your suit.
-Do I look okay?
I'm not going home.
I'm going to be a foster kid
at another foster home.
Come on.
That's only possible if we die,
abuse you, go to jail, get sick, or…
Your mom really tried
not to take more kids in.
But Ja-yeon's situation is so bad that--
Dad.
Do you know what I hate the most?
I'm an only child
who's never lived like one,
and I grew up with so many siblings,
but none are still with me.
They were all temporary.
They were my brothers and sisters
only for a while.
That must've hurt.
I'm sorry I didn't consider that.
I've said so many times
that I just want to live with you and Mom,
just us three.
How could Mom never listen
to her own daughter's wishes
but care so much
about other people's problems?
I don't even have much time
to live with you and Mom.
What?
Why don't we have much time left?
When I go to college,
I'm going to study abroad.
Then I'll get a job,
move out, and get married early.
I'll be all grown up soon, Dad.
All right.
Let's live on our own then,
just as you wish.
Just you, me, and Mom.
-You're lying.
-I promise.
I don't believe you.
-Come on, trust me.
-No.
I really mean it!
I'm not buying it.
Give me a chance.
Dad,
I should've believed you then.
If I had,
you would've kept your promise.
I regret it.
I regret it so much, Dad.
I thought you ran away.
Are you nervous?
No.
Then hold on tight
because I'm nervous.
Now, entering together
are the stars of the wedding,
the bride and the groom.
Please give them a warm round of applause.
I wonder, Mom.
Do you also regret it?
Did you ever think that you being too kind
to ever listen to my wish
was the reason why Dad died?
Did you ever
have regrets like I do?
Should I expect good news soon, Ms. Cha?
I just caught it
because no one else would.
Mr. Yun seemed taken aback.
His girlfriend of ten years
catching the bouquet
must seem like a symbolic gesture.
Good work, you two.
Thank you for taking pictures, Mr. Yun.
I agreed to it because Hui-seong asked,
but I don't know if Hae-yeong
will like my amateur photos.
It doesn't matter if your photos are bad.
Have you eaten already?
Hae-yeong gave me her card
to treat you two to a meal,
but I'll leave you alone.
Actually, I have other plans today.
Are you not going on a date with Ms. Cha?
It'd be a shame for her to go home already
when she's all dolled up.
It's not like she's only beautiful today.
She's always--
I'll see him off.
Let's go.
Bye.
See you, Ms. Cha.
Bye, Mr. Yun.
You shouldn't have made plans
on a day like this.
Ja-yeon found it odd.
I'm sorry, but I need to
revise a script with a writer.
Oh, I see.
You need to revise a script, huh?
Should I just cancel?
I hate to leave you
when you look so sexy.
You don't mean that.
No, I swear I really don't want to go.
Well, your soulless eyes
are telling me otherwise.
I'm just tired.
We've been together for ten years.
You can't fool me.
Bye. I'll call you.
-Drive safe.
-All right.
Excuse me,
could I leave some congratulatory money?
Yes, are you the bride's…
Wait.
Are you…
Hey,
Yeo Ha-jun.
You're Nam Ja-yeon, right?
THE SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING
AND SOFT FLESH COLLIDING
WAS NOT QUITE WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT TO
HEAR IN THE CAFETERIA REFRIGERATOR…
"WHAT CHANGES?"
"THE MEALS ARE TOO SPICY AND HOT…"
"HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS, THEN?"
SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND
THAT HIS GIRTHY INSTRUMENT…
It's been so long, hasn't it?
Is this our first time meeting
after you transferred suddenly
before our senior year?
I'm surprised you still remember
my name after so long.
Well, it's unique.
Nam Ja-yeon. "Namja" as in "man."
I actually searched your name up
from time to time
to see if you won any writing contests
or made your debut.
"Writing contests"?
You used to write a lot, didn't you?
Children's stories, I think.
Are you still writing
beautiful children's stories?
How base and vulgar!
To think that the Korean alphabet,
the tool of public education,
is being used for such immoral filth
that debauches its readers.
If King Sejong found out,
he would storm off
from his throne in Gwanghwamun.
His subject or not,
he'd never forgive such a sinner!
I see.
I wish to see the face of the writer…
No, the butcher with a pen
who wrote this filth.
WEDDING HALL
Are you on your way, Hui-seong?
How's Mom doing?
That's a relief.
I'm heading to the hotel.
I'll call you once I check in.
Okay. Bye.
Are you tired?
I don't think I could do this twice.
I'm exhausted.
Someone out there will make you
want to go through this again.
At times like this,
you do seem like an angelic dog.
Let's get divorced.
You're still here, Ms. Kwon.
We happened to see you here
on our way from the department store.
What are you doing here?
We're waiting for our taxi.
We requested one to take us to our hotel.
Oh, you didn't sign up for a wedding car?
You're going to Sebita Hotel,
where the company offers a free night
for newlyweds, right?
-That's right.
-Great.
Why don't we give you a ride?
-Sorry?
-What?
Why not?
Get in. We'll drive you there.
It's all right.
Our taxi will get here soon.
Please, I insist.
Look, our taxi is here.
Thank you for the gesture, Ms. Kwon.
It's too bad.
We were on our way there anyway.
What do you mean?
We went straight to our honeymoon,
so we haven't used our free night.
Woo-jae and I are having a staycation.
We'll see you there. Bye!
Why are you looking at me like that?
Didn't you say it's your day off?
I'm only going to the hotel.
-In fact, only the lobby.
-Okay.
Come on, Ji-uk. Our ride's here.
Ms. Son!
Hello!
Ms. Son!
Ms. Son!
Ms. Son!
Have a great time.
You too, Ms. Kwon.
-I'm leaving.
-Thank you.
Ms. Son!
Let's have breakfast together tomorrow.
-Do you like hotel breakfasts?
-What?
Spend the night and have breakfast.
Are you crazy?
Better a night at a hotel
than your gosiwon.
How can you so casually
ask a man to spend the night?
Well, you're not a man.
You're an angelic dog.
Who knows if I'll be an angel
or a dog in a locked room?
Do you need anything else?
I'll be right back.
You voluntarily
came into this locked room.
Well, I…
-I didn't want to get caught.
-So,
will you be an angel
or a dog?
EPILOGUE
Groom,
please give the bride's mother a big hug.
Ji-uk.
My dear Ji-uk.
Yes, it's me.
THANKS TO KIM JUNG-EUN, LEE SEUNG-JUN,
LEE JOONG-OCK, AND OH YE-JU
FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCE
It's my first time at a hotel,
not my first time at something else.
Next time, let's make plans to meet
and not by accident.
Call your husband. Tell him to come.
Who are you?
I'm pretty sure he quit.
He quit?
If you want to be a spoiled rich kid,
bully your employees!
But instead, you left hate comments?
Aside from your name, face, and age,
I know nothing about you.
You're a bit suspicious.
It's like you're hiding something.
We have some extra time.
Why don't we help you with your dress?
No, it's all right.
I've already picked out my dress.
Oh, really?
What about the groom's tuxedo?
I could recommend a tailor shop.
Their ready-made options are great,
but you should get a custom-made…
I'm done.
Is that the groom?
Can I step out?
-No!
-Yes!
You see, he just got here
from his part-time job.
He doesn't normally look that…
How do I look, ma'am?
I'm screwed.
Goodness, Ms. Son.
I didn't know you cared about looks.
I do.
Looks are the only thing I care about.
Oh, my.
Give him this.
Mr. Ahn,
I hope we're not taking up
too much of your time.
Why don't you get lost?
It seems Yi-lin really liked
the candle holder
you made her.
This is all your fault.
What do you think, Ms. Son?
It looks great.
What do you think?
I'm happy if you're happy, ma'am.
"Ma'am"?
I see.
"Ma'am" must be his pet name for you!
Yes, it is.
Why don't you call me by a pet name?
Don't just call me Yi-lin.
Why should I when you've got
such a pretty name?
I'm sure it's just Ms. Son's fiancé
who needs a pet name for her
since he's so much younger than her.
We adults don't need pet names
for each other.
I guess you didn't have pet names
for your significant other
back in those days.
"Back in those days"?
These days, guys are all for it.
Right, ma'am?
So how did you two meet?
-He's from my--
-We go way back.
We've known each other since childhood.
EPISODE 3
Are you done choosing your dress?
In that case, can I…
How could you?
Why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?
About all this.
I told you the guests
can't remember your face.
-You can't be this good-looking!
-What?
You should've warned me
about your good looks.
What would I even say?
What else? It's not like you can't talk.
Why didn't you tell me
you're this good-looking and hot?
How could he in that state?
And with that face?
You would've been embarrassed.
Actually, he's a lottery ticket
waiting to be scratched.
Stop it.
With some effort,
he could beat anyone in looks.
What's your name?
I'm Son Hae-yeong.
What a nice name.
I love it.
So you don't take any losses,
is that right?
That's enough.
Ms. Son,
scratch an actual lottery ticket
if you need money
and scratch your own leg if you're bored.
Banking on a guy's face
won't get you anything.
It won't get you any interest,
and looks depreciate rapidly.
Most importantly, nine out of ten men…
are losing tickets.
They just piss you off.
I envy you.
I'd love to meet someone
who sees me as a winning ticket.
What about her?
-Nam-gil!
-Coming!
Take care. Goodbye.
-The weather's perfect.
-Yes, it is.
I'm screwed.
I should've picked out whatever suit
and had him leave.
People are nearer to you than you think.
They're both mine.
I'd like one latte.
No, make it two.
Thank you.
Here, have something sweet.
If you still feel anxious, let me know.
I'll think of a plan.
It tastes amazing, doesn't it?
How can he be
both so shabby and so good-looking?
How do I look, ma'am?
And why…
Why waste your good looks like that?
What?
My grandmother told me good looks
will only give you a tough life.
She said living off of your face
will only lead to ruin.
Did she live a tough life
because of her beauty?
Not her, but my…
But who?
Well…
Never mind.
Then what was that about
back at the bridal shop?
Why flaunt your looks all of a sudden?
That man is your ex, isn't he?
You seemed very reluctant
to have him see me.
Was it that obvious?
You're so shallow.
The strange thing is,
I was embarrassed of myself too,
though I know it's all fake.
You got caught up in it.
Is that why you tried to
show him up with your looks?
Was it pathetic? I admit it was.
Don't admit it.
Ahn Woo-jae wasn't as good-looking as you
at your age.
Also, you've got
a bright future ahead of you.
You win by a landslide.
By the way,
didn't you two break up recently?
It looked like he was married.
They've been together
for more than a year.
A year?
Sorry, I can be dense sometimes.
No worries. I'm the dense one.
He fooled me for six months.
By the way,
you know quite a lot about me.
You know where I live
and who my friends and exes are.
Well, then keep it down in public.
I can't help but overhear things.
Part-timers like me
aren't soulless mannequins.
Did I really talk about my private life
that loudly?
And how do you remember everything?
I just do.
Your words, your actions,
everything.
Being a computer and all.
Anyway,
It's nice to have the rabid dog
as my partner.
-I feel reassured.
-Me, your partner?
Yeah, you're my husband.
What?
This is all over after the wedding, okay?
Oh, is my husband feeling shy?
What's wrong with you?
I'm glad I got to repay
Ms. Son's kindness to me.
Childhood friends?
When did they start dating?
It feels good that I got to help her.
Is he why she broke up with me?
Did she start dating him right after me?
But then again, with such good looks,
he would've looked good in anything.
That young brat…
Did you just swear?
What?
No, I didn't.
It wasn't directed to you.
Are you jealous?
"Jealous"?
Did you not like that I was picking out
another man's tuxedo
and complimenting him?
Well,
I wasn't exactly happy.
I did go overboard.
I was just happy.
You're right.
The groom was quite good-looking.
It's not that.
I was a bit concerned
about you and Ms. Son.
She's a successful and charming person
with a great personality.
She's exactly your type.
Ms. Son?
What do you mean?
I don't see her like that at all.
That's a relief.
Sir, I hear the spice level for the meals
is not up to par.
THE SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING
AND SOFT FLESH COLLIDING
WAS NOT QUITE WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT TO
HEAR IN THE CAFETERIA REFRIGERATOR…
We'll have to make some changes.
The meals are too spicy and hot.
SMIRKING SUGGESTIVELY,
HA-JUN POINTED TO HIS CROTCH WITH HIS CHIN
FOLLOWING HIS GAZE,
SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND
THAT HIS GIRTHY INSTRUMEN
HAD BULGED UP NOTICEABLY
AND MADE ITS PRESENCE KNOWN
Mother.
-Off to work?
-Are you reading?
-What is it?
-It's nothing.
You'll be late.
I'd love a recommendation from you.
See you later, then.
By the way,
I hear you're creating a task force
after the in-house contest.
-Yes, Mother.
-Remember what I said about women.
Unmarried women
shouldn't get anywhere near you,
understand?
I actually wanted to
speak to you about that.
Mother,
I have never disobeyed you,
nor have I been tempted, messed up,
or actually even dated…
Excluding capable employees
for being unmarried
-harms the company's future and--
-"Unlucky woman."
Even with all my wealth,
that's what I've been called
for marrying the wrong man.
Do you want me to be an unlucky wife
and an unlucky mother?
Mother, I--
I trust you, my son.
However, Gyu-hyun,
you're Bok Gi-ho's son.
You're the son of an immoral,
irresponsible, and impulsive man,
Bok…
Gyu-hyun.
I understand.
I'll keep my promise to you
if it'll ease your concerns.
Keep it for your sake, not mine.
Your father is only lenient
with his own faults.
He's not one to understand
and cover for the faults of his son.
If you want to inherit his company,
stay vigilant.
Always.
Regardless, I'm his only child.
Who knows?
He might find a different solution.
"A different solution"?
What was that?
Did your stomach just rumble
in your boss' presence?
Let's just hold back.
Again?
You're hardly holding back.
If I want to get paid,
I need to put up with his power trip.
Just hold back.
-I can hear you.
-What are you doing?
A secretary should hold back
even their stomach growls with their boss.
It's a cookie set.
I hope you can come.
Hello, sir.
Hello, Mr. Bok.
Please go ahead.
No, please get on.
I can wait for the next one.
Get on.
You seem to be in a rush,
Manager Son Hae-yeong.
What is that?
These are gifts I'm handing out
with my wedding invitations.
Gifts?
Do you like cookies?
-I'm not into sweets--
-Yes, he does.
These are 100 percent organic,
handmade cookies.
They're delicious and not too sweet.
And these are my wedding invitations.
I should go and give congratulatory money.
Oh, my!
Not at all, Mr. Bok.
Kkulbee Education provides its employees
with incomparable benefits.
We consider the benefits
provided for the wedding
to be congratulatory money from you.
Congratulations on your wedding,
Ms. Son Hae-yeong.
Thank you, Mr. Bok.
Stuff yourself.
She was right. It's delicious.
By the way,
isn't she neglecting her job
by handing out invitations during work?
Any missing work due to marriages,
pregnancies, childbirth, and childcare
is always more than welcome.
Our greatest rival isn't Genie Education
or Giga Study but…
The low birth rate.
Korea's birth rate represents
how high Kkulbee can fly.
If more people get married,
have kids, and obsess over
early and private education…
You'll make even more money.
Exactly.
Marriage, pregnancy,
childbirth, and childcare?
Try them yourself,
you little…
Secretary Yeo.
Yes, sir?
Attend Ms. Son's wedding
and leave congratulatory money in my name.
A CEO should keep his word,
even if said as a joke.
Me? Why me?
Then should I go myself
and make her uncomfortable?
He makes the joke
and I have to deal with it?
GROOM KIM JI-UK
BRIDE SON HAE-YEONG
-Please come.
-Congratulations.
Are you really getting married?
-It's about time I do.
-Congratulations.
I'll make sure to go.
-Take a lot of pictures.
-Of course.
-Enjoy the delicious food too.
-Congratulations!
Thank you.
KIM JI-UK AND SON HAE-YEONG
These are amazing.
I'm sorry I'm late.
No, we were early.
-I put the slideshow up.
-Thank you.
Listen,
I get that you're busy
with wedding preparations,
but you forgot something important.
Did I?
I made sure to review the presentation.
Not the presentation.
Where's the picture of your groom?
It's not even on the online invitation.
I hear he's very good-looking.
Sorry, it just slipped out.
How does Ms. Kwon
get to see him but I don't?
I'm hurt.
I didn't want to spoil the highlight.
She's not denying it!
By the way, Ms. Son,
did he propose to you?
"Propose"?
-Be mine.
-Be what?
Please be my groom.
What?
I need a groom.
Of course!
I'm marrying him
because he proposed to me.
My husband proposed to me
after the wedding date was set.
I had to force him to do it.
Same here.
Oh, come on.
That's just not my thing at all.
Go big or go home, am I right?
It isn't a proper proposal
if you do it because it's about time,
because your partner asked for it,
or because the wedding date has been set.
That's just congratulating yourself.
-That's right.
-Exactly.
By the way, I don't see a ring.
Isn't a ring essential
for a proper proposal?
Don't be like that.
Am I wrong?
I'm even more curious now.
How did he propose that you accepted
even without a ring?
The thing is…
Did you propose to him?
It's you who's in a rush.
You can find out at the wedding.
Spoilers ruin the fun.
I got it!
Is there going to be a video
just like at Mr. Ahn's wedding?
If you're curious,
please come to the wedding and find out.
-Let's begin the meeting.
-All right.
-I'm done. Let's go.
-Okay.
You can forget about being a jungler.
Why do you always blame me?
She's always here.
Does she live here?
Aren't you going home?
The customers who were going to eat here
are leaving because of you.
What are you looking at?
PUMPKIN MARKE
PROPOSAL
"Proposal items"? Is anyone proposing?
-Yeah.
-Who?
You.
I'm doing what?
You need to propose to me.
Let's back up.
First, I've already agreed to marry you.
Second, it was your idea to get married.
Third, why would I propose to you?
Have you been to a wedding recently?
A wedding is all about
exploiting the guests' labor
to get dolled up, time, and money.
Then you're forced to sit there
and watch a video
detailing the couple's romantic history,
which nobody asked to see.
-And?
-We need a video
showing our romantic history.
You'll do it, won't you?
You're my partner, after all.
-Get out! What with you?
-Look.
I'm not asking
for a night at a five-star hotel
or a diamond ring in a luxury bag.
I just need you to kneel
around some candles and balloons.
How hard can it be to get on your knee?
What you need isn't a proposal
but a psychiatric evaluation.
It's a fake wedding that you wanted.
-So why should I? Get out.
-I'll have everything ready.
Just come and say your lines.
Get on one knee and say,
"Will you marry me?"
You want me to propose to you
using secondhand items?
In front of some garbage?
"Garbage"?
Don't look down on Pumpkin Market.
Items there have only been used once.
They're as good as new.
You'd be a lunatic
to use those things twice!
"Lunatic"?!
You need to do this.
You have to.
We can't get married if you don't.
Good. Cancel the wedding.
Forget about it and just leave.
What about our Baby?
-What?
-If you back out,
what happens to Baby?
Our poor Baby.
-Are you serious?
-What a loser.
You said we'd get Baby surgery
and raise it together.
Our poor Baby…
Stop.
-Baby!
-Stop it.
Baby!
Please stop.
Look!
There's our Baby.
Hey there, Baby.
Did you hear us call you? You're so smart.
Do you want a snack? Just a minute.
There, there.
Wait here.
Our Baby's here.
Drink up.
You don't have to feed me.
What did you say?
Oh, gosh.
I love you too.
Let's run!
Run!
I'm getting dizzy!
This is good.
Hae-yeong's favorite, purple yams.
And your favorite, mandarins.
Let's try some samples.
-Could I try one?
-Yes.
Do you want some, babe?
No, Hae-yeong's on a diet.
Just one, please.
Careful, it's hot.
Open wide.
Isn't it good?
I'm sorry about that.
What do you think?
Is it bad?
Tell me if I got your theme right.
It's supposed to be, "The lovely Hae-yeong
taken by her loving boyfriend," right?
Look at all these displays of emotion,
shifting every frame.
The Hae-yeong in these photos
isn't in love or being loved.
How should I put it?
Her eyes are dead.
What do I do then?
I don't have a proposal video,
so these were supposed to make up for it.
Do you still have any photos
your exes took of you?
She probably deleted them.
I didn't.
Why? It's your cringey past.
A woman who forgets her cringey past
has no future.
Then use those photos.
Your eyes would be full of love in them.
You can say you look young
because the photos were edited.
Imagine one of my exes
coming to my wedding and seeing them.
I'm getting goosebumps.
I have an idea.
I'll let you borrow Producer Yun.
Nobody will be able to tell the difference
if it's taken in the dark.
That's a bit much.
What's wrong with using a stand-in
for your proposal video
when your groom is fake anyway?
Dear friend,
even among closest friends,
certain things should never be shared.
Like what?
Underwear?
Toothbrushes?
-Come on.
-Oh, my goodness.
You're so dirty-minded.
YU-KYUNG
HOW ARE YOU, JI-UK?
COULD YOU AT LEAST SEND A PERIOD
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REPLY?
I'm doing fine.
Don't worry about me.
VOICE CALL REQUEST FROM YU-KYUNG
DECLINE, ACCEP
Hello.
Why aren't you asleep?
Isn't it late there?
Yes, I'm back from my part-time job.
I'll get a proper job at my own pace.
I told you to stop saying that.
Why would I move there?
I don't know anyone there.
Well, what are you to me?
Do me a favor.
Please don't call me again.
I'm getting married.
I'll have a family of my own.
I'd like to try on this one,
these three, and that one.
I'll have this one for my wedding.
It's perfect for you.
Would you like to look at
your groom's ring?
I was actually wondering
if I could rent my groom's ring.
Well, yes, you could.
Could you pick up my package
from the convenience store, Hae-yeong?
She's home all day.
Why is she making me do it?
Excuse me.
Is no one here?
Hey, partner.
Did he go to the bathroom?
What's going on?
Who did this?
Excuse me.
Is anyone there?
What's all this?
What are you doing?
Mustard Pang Pang Jelly?
Do you like it?
It's adorable.
I didn't intend it to be adorable.
Wasn't that what you were aiming for
with the cute jelly ring?
MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY
Ta-da!
Where did you get all these?
Weren't they discontinued?
I called the manufacturer and other stores
and asked if they had any left in stock.
Then I bought them all.
You bought all of this
yourself?
It's your favorite.
And I wanted to see you happy.
So…
what's your answer?
-What?
-If you say yes,
you'll get to keep the world's last batch
of Mustard Pang Pang Jelly
and me, as a bonus.
Would you like me to ring that up, ma'am?
Yes.
Charge me for all of this.
I'll pay you back.
It's fine.
I realized I need to get married.
You need to?
Why?
Are you really not telling me?
I don't keep any secrets from you.
Someone I know lives in Canada
and keeps asking me to move there
no matter how many times I refuse.
So I'm thinking
if I get married and start a family,
they'll stop asking.
Oh, you too?
That person must be married as well.
Were you in love with them?
It was long ago, so I don't remember.
Do you want to try on the ring
I rented for you?
See if it fits.
-Does it fit?
-Yes, perfectly.
What about your ring?
I bought mine.
What happened to "minimal expenses"?
Even after the wedding,
I'll have to wear my ring to work.
I was hesitant,
but I had no choice but to buy it.
Are you sure you won't regret it?
It's your last chance to back out.
I'll regret it…
if I don't win the contest.
The fake wedding would be a waste.
Right.
No matter what happens,
I'm going to win the contest,
get on the fast track to promotion,
succeed wildly,
become the youngest executive…
And?
I'll get rid of everything.
The unfair practice of excluding
single women from promotion.
The discrimination in only providing
benefits to married employees.
You've had enough.
I need to take these to the orphanage.
Partner,
I only accepted your proposal
because it's fake.
This won't fly for the real thing.
Says the person
who wanted to use secondhand items.
At the very least,
I can say that I put my heart into it
and did my very best.
I'm going to avoid any girls who expect
luxury hotels, bags, and diamonds.
You avoid any man
who'd propose with secondhand items.
We'd just need to avoid each other then,
don't we?
I feel bad for the angelic dog
of the convenience store.
What sins is he paying for?
Ms. Cha.
-What?
-Don't you think her eyes are so full?
What's full of what?
Her eyes…
are full of love.
Has she gotten better at acting?
MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY
How adorable.
What was that?
I hope it's not broken.
Does the touchscreen still work?
SPICE UP OUR LOVE EPISODE 100
WEDDING HALL
Cha Hui-seong,
you're a border collie, the sheepdog.
GROWL
Seats on the groom's side
shouldn't be empty.
Guide the guests accordingly.
This way, please.
Could you sit on that side?
All right.
Nam Ja-yeon,
you're a carrier pigeon with fake news.
CUCKOO
I'm at Hae-yeong's wedding.
Well, her husband's entire family
lives overseas.
They couldn't make it here.
At least it's easier for Hae-yeong.
Come up with a good story
as to why the groom's family members
and guests aren't attending.
Oh, I see.
-Thank you.
-Congrats again.
Enjoy the food.
Hae-yeong…
Ms. Son!
Ms. Kwon!
You look stunning!
Thank you so much.
So this is what you chose
instead of the bridal waiting room.
I wish I'd done this too.
It's so beautiful, different, and awesome.
You should do this next time.
By the way, where's the groom?
Oh, my groom?
Wait a minute.
If your friends are a border collie
and a carrier pigeon,
then what am I?
You?
You're a wary cat.
MEOW
Stay hidden and show up
right before our entrance.
I know you'll look dramatically different,
but the less the guests see you,
the better.
I see.
Then who greets the guests?
I will.
They're all my guests anyway.
And the bigger the bride's presence is,
the less memorable the groom will be.
You're not going to use
the bridal waiting room?
Someone else will be using that room.
All right, look this way and smile.
Great. Next in line, please.
Please look here and smile.
Please smile.
Look into the camera, Auntie.
One, two, three.
Next.
Congratulations on Hae-yeong's marriage.
It's Dong-seok, Auntie.
Yang Dong-seok.
I gained some weight, didn't I?
Do you recognize me?
I should've visited you earlier.
I finally understand
what Hae-yeong wanted to do.
This isn't a fake wedding.
It's Mom's first funeral, isn't it?
Look this way, please.
Please smile.
BRIDE'S GUESTS
The wedding ceremony of Kim Ji-uk
and Son Hae-yeong will begin shortly.
Please find your way to your seats.
Could you check on the groom, please?
I don't have my phone with me.
-Sure, just a moment.
-Thank you.
Slow down, Dad.
I'm trying.
How are you more nervous than I am?
Look at me.
-Let me check your suit.
-Do I look okay?
I'm not going home.
I'm going to be a foster kid
at another foster home.
Come on.
That's only possible if we die,
abuse you, go to jail, get sick, or…
Your mom really tried
not to take more kids in.
But Ja-yeon's situation is so bad that--
Dad.
Do you know what I hate the most?
I'm an only child
who's never lived like one,
and I grew up with so many siblings,
but none are still with me.
They were all temporary.
They were my brothers and sisters
only for a while.
That must've hurt.
I'm sorry I didn't consider that.
I've said so many times
that I just want to live with you and Mom,
just us three.
How could Mom never listen
to her own daughter's wishes
but care so much
about other people's problems?
I don't even have much time
to live with you and Mom.
What?
Why don't we have much time left?
When I go to college,
I'm going to study abroad.
Then I'll get a job,
move out, and get married early.
I'll be all grown up soon, Dad.
All right.
Let's live on our own then,
just as you wish.
Just you, me, and Mom.
-You're lying.
-I promise.
I don't believe you.
-Come on, trust me.
-No.
I really mean it!
I'm not buying it.
Give me a chance.
Dad,
I should've believed you then.
If I had,
you would've kept your promise.
I regret it.
I regret it so much, Dad.
I thought you ran away.
Are you nervous?
No.
Then hold on tight
because I'm nervous.
Now, entering together
are the stars of the wedding,
the bride and the groom.
Please give them a warm round of applause.
I wonder, Mom.
Do you also regret it?
Did you ever think that you being too kind
to ever listen to my wish
was the reason why Dad died?
Did you ever
have regrets like I do?
Should I expect good news soon, Ms. Cha?
I just caught it
because no one else would.
Mr. Yun seemed taken aback.
His girlfriend of ten years
catching the bouquet
must seem like a symbolic gesture.
Good work, you two.
Thank you for taking pictures, Mr. Yun.
I agreed to it because Hui-seong asked,
but I don't know if Hae-yeong
will like my amateur photos.
It doesn't matter if your photos are bad.
Have you eaten already?
Hae-yeong gave me her card
to treat you two to a meal,
but I'll leave you alone.
Actually, I have other plans today.
Are you not going on a date with Ms. Cha?
It'd be a shame for her to go home already
when she's all dolled up.
It's not like she's only beautiful today.
She's always--
I'll see him off.
Let's go.
Bye.
See you, Ms. Cha.
Bye, Mr. Yun.
You shouldn't have made plans
on a day like this.
Ja-yeon found it odd.
I'm sorry, but I need to
revise a script with a writer.
Oh, I see.
You need to revise a script, huh?
Should I just cancel?
I hate to leave you
when you look so sexy.
You don't mean that.
No, I swear I really don't want to go.
Well, your soulless eyes
are telling me otherwise.
I'm just tired.
We've been together for ten years.
You can't fool me.
Bye. I'll call you.
-Drive safe.
-All right.
Excuse me,
could I leave some congratulatory money?
Yes, are you the bride's…
Wait.
Are you…
Hey,
Yeo Ha-jun.
You're Nam Ja-yeon, right?
THE SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING
AND SOFT FLESH COLLIDING
WAS NOT QUITE WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT TO
HEAR IN THE CAFETERIA REFRIGERATOR…
"WHAT CHANGES?"
"THE MEALS ARE TOO SPICY AND HOT…"
"HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS, THEN?"
SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND
THAT HIS GIRTHY INSTRUMENT…
It's been so long, hasn't it?
Is this our first time meeting
after you transferred suddenly
before our senior year?
I'm surprised you still remember
my name after so long.
Well, it's unique.
Nam Ja-yeon. "Namja" as in "man."
I actually searched your name up
from time to time
to see if you won any writing contests
or made your debut.
"Writing contests"?
You used to write a lot, didn't you?
Children's stories, I think.
Are you still writing
beautiful children's stories?
How base and vulgar!
To think that the Korean alphabet,
the tool of public education,
is being used for such immoral filth
that debauches its readers.
If King Sejong found out,
he would storm off
from his throne in Gwanghwamun.
His subject or not,
he'd never forgive such a sinner!
I see.
I wish to see the face of the writer…
No, the butcher with a pen
who wrote this filth.
WEDDING HALL
Are you on your way, Hui-seong?
How's Mom doing?
That's a relief.
I'm heading to the hotel.
I'll call you once I check in.
Okay. Bye.
Are you tired?
I don't think I could do this twice.
I'm exhausted.
Someone out there will make you
want to go through this again.
At times like this,
you do seem like an angelic dog.
Let's get divorced.
You're still here, Ms. Kwon.
We happened to see you here
on our way from the department store.
What are you doing here?
We're waiting for our taxi.
We requested one to take us to our hotel.
Oh, you didn't sign up for a wedding car?
You're going to Sebita Hotel,
where the company offers a free night
for newlyweds, right?
-That's right.
-Great.
Why don't we give you a ride?
-Sorry?
-What?
Why not?
Get in. We'll drive you there.
It's all right.
Our taxi will get here soon.
Please, I insist.
Look, our taxi is here.
Thank you for the gesture, Ms. Kwon.
It's too bad.
We were on our way there anyway.
What do you mean?
We went straight to our honeymoon,
so we haven't used our free night.
Woo-jae and I are having a staycation.
We'll see you there. Bye!
Why are you looking at me like that?
Didn't you say it's your day off?
I'm only going to the hotel.
-In fact, only the lobby.
-Okay.
Come on, Ji-uk. Our ride's here.
Ms. Son!
Hello!
Ms. Son!
Ms. Son!
Ms. Son!
Have a great time.
You too, Ms. Kwon.
-I'm leaving.
-Thank you.
Ms. Son!
Let's have breakfast together tomorrow.
-Do you like hotel breakfasts?
-What?
Spend the night and have breakfast.
Are you crazy?
Better a night at a hotel
than your gosiwon.
How can you so casually
ask a man to spend the night?
Well, you're not a man.
You're an angelic dog.
Who knows if I'll be an angel
or a dog in a locked room?
Do you need anything else?
I'll be right back.
You voluntarily
came into this locked room.
Well, I…
-I didn't want to get caught.
-So,
will you be an angel
or a dog?
EPILOGUE
Groom,
please give the bride's mother a big hug.
Ji-uk.
My dear Ji-uk.
Yes, it's me.
THANKS TO KIM JUNG-EUN, LEE SEUNG-JUN,
LEE JOONG-OCK, AND OH YE-JU
FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCE
It's my first time at a hotel,
not my first time at something else.
Next time, let's make plans to meet
and not by accident.
Call your husband. Tell him to come.
Who are you?
I'm pretty sure he quit.
He quit?
If you want to be a spoiled rich kid,
bully your employees!
But instead, you left hate comments?
Aside from your name, face, and age,
I know nothing about you.
You're a bit suspicious.
It's like you're hiding something.
