[Backstreet Rookie]
There he is.
-Yeon-joo.
-Hey, Dae-hyun.
I'm sorry.
I fell asleep at the convenience store.
My cell phone was on silent,
so I didn't know you called.
Let's go outside and talk.
What are you talking about?
We're not done drinking our coffee.
No, Mom. We'll just talk outside.
Just a second.
Thank you for the coffee.
I'll see you next time.
My gosh, you came all the way here.
Why don't you stay for a bit longer?
Ma'am, I bought some hotteok.
Nice, Saet-byul!
You bought hotteok? How did you know
that I love hotteok?
These are for you.
Perfect. Let's eat these together
before you leave.
No, Mom. We need to go out and talk.
Don't be like that. Join us.
It's fine, really.
See? She says she's fine.
That means she has time.
Come and sit here.
Sit here, Yeon-joo.
Hey!
Why did you have to come right now?
Why didn't you pick up your phone?
-Come here.
-Okay, Mom.
Darn it. What happened?
-Saet-byul!
-Yes?
Come join us.
Yes, ma'am.
Sit right here.
You've never met her, right?
This is Jung Saet-byul, the part-timer
at our convenience store.
Sorry?
[I thought she quit.]
Mom, she's actually
Saet-byul is very polite
and great at work.
I love her like my own daughter.
-Like your own daughter?
-Yes.
If our store succeeds
and we open 2nd and 3rd branches,
I'd trust her with them.
No, I actually don't work--
What do you mean? Forget it.
That's how much we trust you.
Why do you keep kicking me
under the table like that?
She's like my daughter,
and that's why she's living at my house.
She lives here?
No, it's not that. I got scammed.
-That's why--
-Let's not talk about that.
Let's eat some hotteok now.
Yeon-joo, here you go.
Yeon-joo, take a hotteok.
Here's one for you, Saet-byul.
I'm sorry, I think I have to get going.
See you next time.
Why?
Yeon-joo.
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo!
Yeon-joo!
I guess she really hates hotteok.
Yeon-joo, wait for me.
This is all a misunderstanding.
Before I could even tell my mom
that Saet-byul quit,
she got scammed with her house
Stop. I'm tired of hearing excuses.
It's really a misunderstanding.
-Just listen to me
-Stop it!
I heard everything from your mom,
and I don't want to hear anything anymore.
Okay. Let's calm down first.
I can't just let you go like this
when you came all the way here
-to see my mom.
-Do you even know why I'm here?
Whatever. I'm leaving.
Hold on.
Are you really going to leave like this?
Yeon-joo.
Goodness.
Hello?
[Fire Volcano?]
Yes, that's me.
You're Aphrodite, right?
[Fire Volcano and Aphrodite]
[Fire Volcano and Aphrodite]
I can't believe that I'm calling you
right now!
[Fire Volcano and Aphrodite]
[Fire Volcano and Aphrodite]
Is this a dream?
Is this a dream?
It's an honor.
As for me.
I appreciate you reading my work,
as well as your support.
You have a beautiful voice.
No problem.
-Mr. Choi.
-Yes?
I think Ms. Yoo is misunderstanding
all of this.
Should I speak with her or something?
No, it's fine.
I'll take care of it.
Why didn't you tell her that I quit?
It's not that I didn't,
I just
couldn't.
I'll take the receipt and the bag as well.
I have a client here.
Could you wait for a second?
Of course. I can wait
for as long as you'd like.
-Thank you. Come again!
-Goodnight.
Thank you for waiting. I'm sorry.
Oh, my gosh.
Aphrodite?
-Thank you. Come again.
-Okay.
Yeon-joo, Seung-joon is here.
Yeon-joo.
Hey, Seung-joon. I'm a little tired today,
so let's talk tomorrow. I'm sorry.
What happened to her?
What else could it be?
Is she upset
because of that useless manager?
She's too kind. She gets attached easily.
Why did you even allow him
to open a branch?
You should've cut him off from her
from the beginning.
Ma'am, I bought some hotteok.
[She's like my daughter,
and that's why she's living at my house.]
Gosh.
I heard everything from your mom,
and I don't want to hear anything anymore.
[Yeon-joo, please give me a call.]
Jung Saet-byul,
how did you end up like this?
-Sir.
-Yes?
What are you doing,
awake this late at night?
I forgot to take off the heads
for these bean sprouts,
so I woke up to get it done.
My wife wants bean sprout soup
in the morning.
I'll help you out.
It's okay. I'm almost done.
I think you're really amazing.
You're a great husband.
No, I'm not.
All my life, I could never get a job,
so I couldn't bring back any money
for the family.
The only thing I can do for my family
is to cook for them
and do all the chores.
My wife works hard every day
to sell insurance,
and Dae-hyun can't sleep well,
trying to manage his store.
It breaks my heart.
It must be nice to have a family
that worries and looks out for you
like you guys do.
Mrs. Gong also thinks of you
and Mr. Choi a lot.
Gosh. She thinks of me?
Of course. She probably looks out
for you more than you do for her.
-You guys are so loud.
-Ma'am!
My goodness, that hurts.
-Are you okay?
-That hurts.
It's so late at night.
What are you two doing at this hour?
We're preparing these bean sprouts
for you.
You told me that you wanted
bean sprout soup yesterday.
That wasn't yesterday.
It was the day before.
I told you that
I had bean sprout soup yesterday.
You told me that? Are you sure?
You're still so young.
How are you already forgetting things?
I'm worried for you.
I'm seriously worried for you.
You're so naive too.
Wait, this is broken.
What's wrong with this doorknob?
Never mind, I got it.
That's her looking out for me, right?
Saet-byul, finish this up for me.
-Yes, I'll do it.
-Okay.
-Goodnight.
-Bye.
-Goodnight.
-Thanks.
That was dangerous.
Where should I put this?
I'll just put it here.
[Thank you for everything.
I hope that you'll always stay healthy.]
Seong-tae, is Yeon-joo at work?
Ms. Yoo didn't come today.
Director Cho came and left right away.
Things are looking odd.
Really? Okay.
Thank you.
Hello, I'm Choi Dae-hyun.
You're talking as if this is
our first time meeting.
Yes, this is our first time.
As Yeon-joo's boyfriend, at least.
What brings you here?
I'm here to see Yeon-joo.
Then why are you not calling her
and sitting here with me instead?
There has been a misunderstanding
between us recently.
I'll of course try my best to sort it out,
but I believe that it's her choice
whether to accept that or not.
And?
If you could just leave her
to make her own decision,
that will be greatly appreciated.
You're telling me to stay out of this?
I guess I could do that.
Thank you.
I'll come visit you another time.
I'll get going now.
Call Secretary Park!
Yes, ma'am.
-Mrs. Gong.
-Yes?
How have your sales been this month?
Oh, that. I have nothing.
[2016's Sales Queen Lee Yu-jin,
2018's Sales Queen Choi Won-sun]
[2016's Sales Queen Lee Yu-jin,
2018's Sales Queen Choi Won-sun]
I have a wish,
[2016's Sales Queen Lee Yu-jin,
2018's Sales Queen Choi Won-sun]
[2016's Sales Queen Lee Yu-jin,
2018's Sales Queen Choi Won-sun]
and that is to see you wear a crown
and that is to see you wear a crown
and be hung on this wall.
You're the only one who wasn't named
a Sales Queen among all the people
who have been working here for so long.
-I'm sorry.
-Take it.
Yes, this is Gong Boon-hee
of Precious Life Insurance.
Yes.
An annuity?
Yes, I'll come and see you.
Thank you.
Who is it?
It's someone from Pyeongchang-dong.
She wants to meet with me.
-Pyeongchang-dong?
-Yes.
What? You're looking to hire someone?
For 3,000 dollars per month
with insurance and a permanent contract?
Even if the job just requires driving,
I can't find someone right away.
I certainly can't find anyone
to interview today.
You can't just expect people
to pop out of nowhere.
-Here I am!
-My goodness!
I didn't mean to eavesdrop,
but I hear that you're looking for someone
to hire?
Yes, sir.
But they'd like an interview today.
Is that right?
I just happen to have time.
You can go for an interview today?
Right now?
Yes.
-Sure, then.
-Okay.
10-1?
This house looks enormous.
[10-1, Pyeongchang 8-gil]
Goodness.
Hello, ma'am.
I'm Insurance Planner Gong Boon-hee
of Precious Life Insurance.
-Have a seat.
-Yes, ma'am.
-Do you like tea?
-Yes, I do.
-That's hot.
-Oh, no.
-Are you okay?
-I'm fine.
By the way, how did you find me?
I asked for a recommendation
for someone who's realistic,
smart to understand, and diligent.
I don't mean to show off,
but I've been awarded three times
for my long service at--
Don't people use the annuity
for an inheritance?
I hear that I'm supposed to pay
10,000 dollars per month.
The tax laws have changed,
so it's not that good of a deal now.
I see.
You're very honest.
My gosh. Well, someone did introduce me
to you as a diligent worker. I must be.
It seems I've gotten quite lucky.
If I sign up to a policy with a hefty sum,
I'll be able to rely on the insurance too.
Pardon?
I was going to sign up to an annuity with
a monthly investment of 10,000 dollars.
I want one for my husband too.
You'll be investing 20,000 dollars
every month?
What is it? Is that not allowed?
Of course, not. My gosh.
Okay.
All right.
Would you like some coffee?
Should I? It's hot today too.
-Iced Americano?
-Sounds great.
Hold on.
Wait, let's see.
My goodness.
I can't right now. I'll come back.
Come back soon.
Hey, can't you come here faster, Dae-soon?
I need to be somewhere right now.
I'm here. What do you need?
-My gosh.
-Gosh. What is it?
Here. I told you
I had to be somewhere now.
What is it this time? Are you
meeting up with your friends again?
It's a totally different matter.
Let's talk later. Bye.
Gosh, I'm so exhausted.
Gosh.
[Don't even think about it.
Your mother is watching.]
Gosh, are you kidding me? Where's
the fun in taking over the counter, then?
Gosh. Darn it.
I have a daughter.
She even studied abroad.
She's a team leader at a conglomerate.
My gosh. Your daughter must be so smart.
But I'm not happy with her boyfriend.
He graduated from a university
in the rural area
and has a low-paying job.
Besides, he comes from a poor family too.
He says he's running a business,
but that's just a fancy name for it.
It's a small corner shop.
Oh, no. Why is she dating a guy like that?
She's out of his league.
That's my point.
You have to stop her.
It looks like she can't see things clearly
as she's head over heels for him.
I wasn't sure if I should
step in my daughter's business.
Oh, no. Don't say that, ma'am.
If your child's judgment is clouded,
you must take control
and show her the right path.
And that guy might be dating her
for her status.
People of similar backgrounds must date
to avoid any drama later on.
My gosh. You are precise.
My goodness, "precise"?
People must know their places.
Similar people ought
to be with each other.
He shouldn't try to turn his life around
with the help of his girlfriend.
No way. You can't let that be.
You're so bold with your words.
I'm happy that we see eye to eye.
Prepare the contract for me.
My gosh, ma'am. Thank you.
I'd love to recommend you
to my acquaintances.
Gosh, if you could do that for me,
I would be indebted to you.
Oh, my. I took up
so much of your time, didn't I?
I'll get going now. All right.
Thank you so much.
Bye.
My gosh, this is crazy.
What am I going to do?
Gosh, this is

[Congratulations on becoming

[Gong Boon-hee!]
[Congratulations
to the Queen of the Insurance!]
My gosh. Oh, my merciful Buddha.
Hey, I'm sorry. I came back
to change my clothes really quickly.
It's your house. Don't be sorry.
I should apologize to you.
Are you going somewhere?
Yes, I'm going somewhere.
Do you have a place to go?
Yes, that's why I'm leaving.
You should change and get back to
the store. The truck must be there soon.
Okay. I will.
Yes, Seong-tae.
What? Someone filed a report?
No. That's not true.
We throw out all the expired food
right away.
What? A sausage? Last night?
I'm not sure. Let me check
on it and get back to you.
Okay.
Did someone file a complaint
at the headquarters?
Yes. Someone ate
an expired sausage or something.
Did I sell sausages yesterday?
It must be that guy who was leaving
when I got there last night.
Your friend sold it to him.
[CCTV Watcher]
[The victim who had expired sausage]
[The victim who had expired sausage]
[Exactly. You shouldn't have sold
expired food to begin with.]
[The victim who had expired sausage]
[The victim who had expired sausage]
[The victim who had expired sausage]
[Rot in prison or settle this
with 3,000 dollars.]
[The victim who had expired sausage]
Saet-byul, you're still here.
Did you check?
Yes, I did.
I think he's done this before.
He wants me to pay him money.
Money?
How much?
It's not much.
-He wants 3,000 dollars.
-What? 3,000 dollars?
My gosh. Oh, no.
You saved all that money
Saet-byul, don't worry too much.
You should go.
I'll really go then.
-Bye.
-Yes. I'll take care of it.
Don't worry too much.
Don't you know who I am?
You do, don't you?
I can take care of this. Yes.
Go. My gosh, don't turn back.
Just go. Leave.
Don't worry.
Gosh. Darn it. I'm in trouble.
Poor him. My gosh, I feel so bad for him.
Aren't you Mr. Choi's friend?
It's not like it was your first time
taking over the counter last night.
How could you make such a mistake?
I was in the middle of an important call.
An important call? What kind of call
was it? Why was it important?
I can't tell you that right now.
Anyway, I'm sorry.
How will you settle this?
The guy wants 3,000 dollars to settle.
Are you telling me that I should pay
everything by myself?
I need to work on my webtoon
for two months to earn that much.
I'm going to call you. If you don't answer
that, you know what will happen, right?
My hand! Hey!
Of course.
You always came down
when we were eating something.
You were surveilling us like this.
I wasn't surveilling.
I was just working as the security camera
to protect the convenience store.
I'm sorry. But could you keep this
a secret to Dae-hyun?
He really trusts me.
It will break our friendship. Please?
Whatever.
What can you see with this?
It's like a little toy.
Gosh, you're so childish. Goodness.
My gosh, I can see things up close
with this. What is this?
Oh, my!
If you don't answer my call,
I'll confiscate it.
This will break your friendship.
Do it right.
Please don't tell Dae-hyun.
That evil girl.
♫ Driver of Squad 74,
Green License without any accidents ♫
♫ Driver of 30 years, a veteran driver ♫
Hello, ma'am. My name is Choi Yong-pil.
I work here.
-Please take a seat.
-Okay.
Hello, I'm Choi Yong-pil.
-Wasn't that you?
-What?
Didn't you come to my convenience store?
The lady who bought
1,000 dollars' worth of food.
-Take a seat.
-Okay.
What a coincidence.
This isn't just a coincidence.
Isn't this fate?
I'm not sure what this is.
Do you like tea?
Yes. I've driven all types of vehicles.
I was asking you about tea.
Tea as in the one we drink?
By the way, why are you
suddenly looking for a driver?
I had Mr. Song who lived
in the semi-basement of the house.
I had to let him go
because he smelled like dirty rags.
The smell from the semi-basement house?
I live in a two-story house.
I'm not testing you or anything.
You can just relax.
Sure.
I just came out for some fresh air.
I felt stuffy inside.
[-Turn left, and]
-It should be quiet in the car.
You must know your way around here.
I know every single restaurant
in all the alleys
under the 38th Parallel Line.
I used to be the driver
of Squad 74 at Division 7.
I'm the first one to get
the Green License in Busan.
I'm better than the tow truck drivers.
Didn't they get rid of Green License
a long time ago?
Even so, it holds some meaning.
I'll turn right, ma'am.
I knew it. You can smoothly take a corner.
I've been driving for 30 years.
That's where it comes from.
[I could tell that the lady was loaded.]
I told her that signing up to an annuity
won't get her any tax benefits.
But she told me that she was
going to sign one for my sake.
And she said she'd hook me up
with her friends. I'll be so busy.
All right.
If you get her to sign this contract,
All right.
If you get her to sign this contract,
[Non-dividend VIP
Annuity Variable Insurance]
All right.
If you get her to sign this contract,
you'll be the Queen
of the Insurance this year.
-The Queen?
-Yes.
-Is that true?
-Yes.
-I'm in big trouble now.
-Hey, bring that to me.
That's it.
And this is for you.
Ta-da.
Oh, my.
All right. Go home and have
this Korean beef with your family tonight.
-Gosh, can I really take this?
-Look at this beautifully marbled meat.
Where did that go? Did it melt?
It's Korean beef.
My gosh.
This was the first time Mom called me
to invite me for a meal
after I got married.
What is this about? I should
at least know what this is about.
"Every dog has its day."
I had the highest sales this month,
so I'm the Queen of the Insurance.
Really?
The universe is on my side.
I've met my lucky charm.
My gosh. What a surprise.
Oh, right. Dad. You said you got a job.
Tell me about that.
Did you meet a lucky charm too?
It's nothing like that.
I got the job on my own merit.
All right.
What did you say your job was?
-I can't tell you in detail.
-Okay.
I will be escorting my client.
-As if.
-Here's what's important.
She'll pay for my insurance
and 3,000 dollars.
It's 3,000 dollars!
-I'll only work 52 hours a week.
-Right.
Hey, let's clink our glasses!
-Let's drink.
-Let's drink!
-Hey!
-Raise your glass. Dae-hyun!
Did something happen?
What's wrong with you?
No, nothing happened. It's nothing.
But you seem out of it today.
Then, as long as his store does well,
everything will be perfect.
What about me? What?
-What?
-Hey.
You have no right
to bully your brother like that.
After my future daughter-in-law
came to see me,
everyone in our family is doing so well.
What?
She came when I wasn't here?
Come on. She'd need me the most.
Dad, please.
Hey. You should find out
about her personal information.
Let's see if you're compatible.
Thank you for the meal.
-What? What is it?
-Why?
Dae-hyun, have some more food.
Hey! Eat some more Korean beef!
Jinx.
I can't stop thinking
about that special experience.
I'm traumatized.
It's so itchy.
More.
[Pit-a-pat]
[Jinx.]
Jinx.
What?
[Is this how fate works?]
Girls. Let me ask you a question.
I've been
talking to a guy on the phone lately.
But we've never met in person.
I've been
talking to a girl on the phone lately.
But we've never met in person.
But
our conversations flow so smoothly.
I think he might be my soulmate.
We talk for so long
that my phone gets hot.
I almost got a third-degree burn
on my cheek.
-Should I ask him to meet?
-Should I ask her to meet?
-Who is he?
-Who is she?
[Backstreet Rookie]
-Should I ask him to meet?
-Should I ask her to meet?
-Who is he?
-Who is she?
-"Her Reggae Boy"'s
-"Her Reggae Boy"'s
webtoon artist.
biggest fan.
Dae-hyun, I get that things aren't
going well with your love life.
But for the first time,
my love life is going somewhere.
Can't you please pay some attention to me?
You should ask me questions, my buddy.
She's a fan of your work?
Are you sure it's a girl?
Is that what you're going to ask me?
I talked to her a lot on the phone.
You called your friends and pretended
to be a girl to tease them.
Don't you remember that?
My gosh. You're unbelievable.
You're ridiculous. When did I do that?
I've never done that before.
Hey, crazy jerk. Get a grip.
You might get catfished too.
You're insane.
Do I have to meet her in person?
What if she gets disappointed
after she sees me?
-How can I resolve this?
-Just keep talking to the guy
on the phone. It's imaginary dating.
No way.
-That's a good solution.
-Just eat your food, crazy jerk.
I'm going to eat.
After hearing that you lost your deposit,
I felt bad I couldn't afford
to have you move in with me.
At least, you can relax
for the night here.
Hey, I love this place. Invite me
to stay with you more often.
Hey, just eat.
The noodles are getting soggy.
Why don't you let Geum-bi help you?
Just like you're eating
ramyeon I cooked for you,
let her help you.
Hey.
It's not a simple matter.
It's about your house.
Besides, you have
to take care of Eun-byul.
This is when
I get jealous of Geum-bi.
I can't even help you even if I want to.
What's up with you?
Hey, what are you doing?
Are you filming a drama?
Are you the heroine with the tragic story?
Gosh.
Hey, don't you know me?
Eun-jo, it's me. It's Saet-byul.
I'll catch the owner of Manbok Real Estate
and take care of it. Don't worry.
Okay! Why are you making me cry? Goodness.
Do you know
what you have to worry about now?
You need to check whether or not
that egg is half-cooked.
It must be over-cooked. My gosh.
What should we eat after this?
Should we eat tteokbokki?
Sounds nice.
As you all know, our Shinseong-dong branch
received a complaint.
The customer is very angry and says
he's going to report us to the press.
Instead of leaving this
to the store manager,
I think it's better for the head office
to take action.
I want Ms. Yoo to deal with the problem
that has occurred at our branch
in Shinseong-dong, Jongno-gu.
Regarding the Shinseong branch--
You really should
discipline him properly this time.
He's your boyfriend,
so I can't be hard on him.
You should've made sure
he didn't make any mistakes.
I obviously can't do that.
Stop being so frustrating.
Saet-byul, a customer is waiting for me
at the hair salon, so I need to go.
-Make sure you lock the door.
-Okay, see you.
Why are you washing?
Are you going somewhere?
Something's been bothering me,
so I'm going somewhere to check on things.
Are you going to the convenience store
because you're worried about Mr. Choi?
Why would you ask if you already know?
Get out of here.
-See you.
-Bye.
You seem to have a lot on your mind.
Are you here to ask about money?
No, it's about love.
So you have something
going on with someone?
Here. Choose a card.
I have carpal tunnel syndrome, that's why.
I just need to choose whatever, right?
Here.
The Chariot.
She's a very straightforward woman.
How did you know? This is so cool.
-Welcome.
-Hello.
If you let her lead everything,
you'll have a passionate love life.
"A passionate love life"?
Don't touch my stuff!
But this card also means
she might be two-faced.
She might be hiding something from you.
Like what?
If you want to know, pick a card.
If I pick another card,
will I have to pay extra?
[Shuffle twice: 5 dollars]
I don't want to know.
How stingy of him.
I hope he gets really curious.
Come in.
-Hi.
-Hello.
I had the cards ready
because I knew you'd come.
You're here to ask about love, right?
-Yes, that's right.
-Pick a card.
The Lovers, upright.
The guy is an artist.
Oh, my goodness! Yes, you're right!
He's the type who puts
everything aside for love.
He's like a moth
that flies into a burning candle.
But be careful.
His love might burn everything away.
I could even die for him.
Is this all for me?
The rest is your tip.
How generous.

Welcome.
Did you get some young guests?
You don't like tarot readings,
so how about a fortune reading
or Yangmingism?
No, it's okay. I came to tell you
that your insurance got filed.
The illness I got because of this job
is killing me.
You didn't get hemorrhoids
because of your job.
Try sitting down all day.
You'll get hemorrhoids yourself.
Get that away from me. It stinks.
Enough about that.
I heard a guy who was born
in the Year of the Monkey
goes well with a woman who was born
in the Year of the Horse.
A monkey and a horse?
You really need to stop that.
Their Chinese zodiac signs aren't enough.
Bring me their birthdays.
It'll be on the house.
-Their birthdays?
-Yes, including their time of birth.
"Their time of birth"?
-It's on the house, okay?
-Yes. Just pay me a dollar.
"A dollar"? Sure, I'll give you a dollar.

Dae-hyun, why don't you just settle?
Dae-hyun, why don't you just settle?
This has nothing to do
with your principles.
It's about surviving.
It's not good for you
to get involved in something like this
especially since you used to work
at the head office.
I'm sure Ms. Yoo is in a pickle as well.
Do you really think it's best
to settle things with money?
Seong-tae, is that how you want me
to settle this?
Yes, I want my one and only colleague
to receive nothing but compliments.
There's one guy at work
who's so excited about all this.
I'll see you.
Darn it.
Hey, Saet-byul.
I want you to come with me.
You see, I'd love to do that.
But I need to meet my due date.
You're a webtoon artist, so I bet
you can guess what I might say next.
In this kind of situation,
I guess one might say,
"Do you want your life
to have a due date?"
Is that it?
I'm glad you know. I'm downstairs.
Should I go up there?
No, I'm on my way down.
I can't see you.
That evil girl!
I'll write the article
like you asked me to.
Okay. Don't forget that we have
a group getting ready for a debut.
Okay.
-Thank you in advance. Goodbye.
-Okay, bye.
Ji-wook, I'm sorry.
My meeting got delayed.
It's okay.
I'm worried I might've bothered you.
No, don't worry.
I heard you asked about Jung Eun-byul.
She's my friend's sister.
Oh, I see.
She's a lucky one.
The other girls were trainees
for about 3 to 4 years.
But we needed one more person,
so we added her to the group.
She seemed very befitting.
Is this a good opportunity for her?
Of course.
Their title track came out great.
And the choreography is amazing too.
I have footage of them practicing.
Should I send it to you later?
Yes, please do.
Eun-byul has a great personality.
She gets along well with the others.
Isn't this gorgeous?
-It looks great.
-I know, right?
We'll look great in this.
-Yes.
-It's so pretty.
Look. Hers is prettier.
-Look.
-It's beautiful.
-What?
-My gosh!
What was that for? Are you crazy?
Yes, I'm crazy!
Actually, you're the one who's crazy.
Do I look like a housekeeper to you?
Do you have a death wish?
My older sister told me
that women communicate by fighting.
I can take you on individually
or all at once. Which do you prefer?
Hey, quit joking around and clean this up.
What? Does this look like a joke to you?
Will you get that I'm serious
once I beat you guys up?
What do you think will happen
if the team manager finds out about this?
Why? Are you going to tell on me?
Go ahead and do that.
I'll ruin your careers as well.
You guys messed with the wrong girl.
I only care about going forward in life!
Saet-byul, it's me. I found Eun-byul.
What? Really?
Where is she? How is she doing?
She signed with a decent agency.
Where is she? Send me the address.
I'll go pick her up right now.
I met up with the person in charge,
and she told me she's working hard.
They're going to make a debut soon,
so give her a chance to do what she wants.
-Puppy--
[-I'll keep checking up on her.]
Let's talk about the rest in person.
I'll see you.
-Honey, doesn't it taste delicious?
-Yes, it's delicious.
-How should we spend the 3,000 dollars?
-Do you want a new bag?
-That sounds great.
-Okay, great.
Hello.
Who are you?
I'm from the convenience store
in Shinseong-dong.
What brings you here?
Here. Take this.
I wish him a fast recovery.
It's Wolf's-bane.
The meaning of that flower
is very beautiful.
What does it mean?
You know Wolf's-bane, right?
[Wolf's-bane symbolizes
misanthropy and death.]
[Wolf's-bane symbolizes
misanthropy and death.]
"Misanthropy and death"?
"Misanthropy and death"?
What's this?
Are you threatening me?
What are you talking about?
You guys are the ones
who threatened my manager.
I'm a very scary guy.
I don't care if you're a woman!
I have a hard time
bearing with stuff like this.
But you guys are older than me,
so I brought someone
who's more suitable for your age.
What are you talking about?
Just a second.
Hey.
You can come in now.
It's them.
Was it you? Stand up.
-I said stand up.
-What do you want, sir?
-What do you think I want?
-Hey, wait.
Calm down.
He gets angry very easily
and has a hard time controlling himself.
Once he gets angry,
he gets out of control.
My gosh, he's about to burst already.
Look at him. His body is fuming right now.
Gosh, this is bad.
What are you glaring at? Get out of bed.
I said get out.
Hey, wait.
Honey.
How about we pay you 300 dollars
for what happened?
That's too little!
How about 1,000 dollars?
Let's settle with 1,000 dollars.
Yes, think of what he had to go through.
1,000 dollars. We won't settle with less.
Are you kidding me right now?
-I might as well just kill you--
-First, let me discuss it with him.
We should, right?
Will you please do it properly?
I'm scared.
Isn't this enough?
Should I ask for less? Should I?
1,000 dollars is good enough.
So stay in character until we're done.
-Okay?
-Okay, okay.
-1,000 dollars.
-1,000 dollars.
What?
If you go back on your word,
you'll be dead.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
If we had met in the past,
-I would've beaten you up already.
-Gosh, he's scary.
-Come on.
-My gosh.
Goodbye.
Mr. Choi.
-Mr. Choi.
-Hey.
I got the guy to settle for 1,000 dollars.
What? "1,000 dollars"?
Seriously? "1,000 dollars"?
My gosh, you deducted a huge amount.
How did you do that?
I just got him a pretty flower
and asked him to show some mercy.
My gosh, you bought him
-Wait a minute.
-Didn't I do a good job?
Why did you go there?
Why in the world would you buy him flowers
and ask him to cut the price?
What did you do wrong?
You didn't do anything wrong.
-You didn't.
-Well, no. But
Then what are you going to do?
Are you going to fight with him?
It's better to just pay him and settle.
Saet-byul,
we can't just pay him and settle.
He's a habitual offender.
He'll do the same thing again.
Then another store
will go through the same thing.
Am I wrong?
Well
Why are you scolding me?
I helped you out
because I know you have
a lot on your mind because of Ms. Yoo.
I thought I did a good job.
I'm not scolding you.
I'm just
Forget about that.
That has nothing to with work.
Do you think I don't know
how to leave my personal life out of work?
I'm Choi Dae-hyun, you know.
Okay, fine. Good for you.
Do you have another idea?
I'm going to get punished
only for what I did wrong.
But instead,
that person is going to hate it.
What's that?
Tell me.
You don't need to know.
I'm not going to pay him 1,000 dollars.
It's not because
I think it's a waste of money.
You're unbelievable.
You could've at least thanked me.
-Thank you, Saet-byul.
-Forget it.
Gosh, she's upset at me.
Good job, Saet-byul!
My gosh, she's upset at me.
What's this?
-It's just some money.
-Why?
I don't want you going around
looking shabby.
[Yeon-joo, please call me.]
[Yeon-joo, will you please pick up?]
Hello, Mr. Choi.
Ji-wook, long time no see.
Where's Saet-byul?
Shouldn't she be working right now?
I guess she hasn't told you.
She quit.
What?
-She quit the part-time job?
-Yes.
Do you know where she lives?
I guess she hasn't told you this either.
She got scammed
and got kicked out of her house.
She got scammed?
Then where does she live?
Well
Mr. Choi.
You're so indifferent to Saet-byul.
What?
You should at least show her some interest
considering how much she cares about you.
Why is he so angry at me?
Puppy.
What are you doing here?
Why is your phone turned off?
My phone died.
How did you know I was here?
Because unlike you,
I care about you a lot.
Stop worrying about Eun-byul
and start worrying about yourself.
There's nothing to worry about.
Let's go to my place.
What?
I don't want my friend to be homeless
and jobless at the same time.
Come on.
-Hey.
-Let's go.
Hey.
Come in.
Puppy, do you live here all by yourself?
Yes.
My gosh, you've become very successful.
Feel free to make yourself at home.
Hey, isn't that N Seoul Tower?
My gosh, the view is amazing.
Aren't you hungry?
I'm starving. I didn't eat dinner.
-Wait here for a moment.
-Okay.
Here.
The noodles taste nice.
I like the texture.
I'm a pro at making instant noodles.
Don't you have rice?
I'm microwaving it.
You even know how to cook rice.
Look what I got.
What is it?
Make a guess.
Just tell me.
The team manager at Eun-byul's agency
sent me her choreography video.
Really? Let me see that. Hurry.
Is that really Eun-byul?
My gosh.
Do I look okay?
My gosh, who are you?
I'm a guy who can't do the dishes
because I need to go to work.
Oh, I see. I'll leave them right here.
You can do the dishes after work.
I'll do the dishes for you today.
Make sure to wear gloves.
You might have to do it more often.
I'm off now.
My goodness,
I can't believe he's going to work.
-Mom.
-Get in the car.
-Take her to work.
-Okay, ma'am.
My name is Choi Yong-pil.
From now on, I'll make sure
you have a comfortable ride to work.
No, don't mind me. I'll just go on my own.
Why? It's better to have
a comfortable ride.
The traffic in Seoul can get really bad.
Don't tire yourself out every morning.
I'll give you a comfortable ride instead.
I used to be the driver
of Squad 74 at Division 7.
And I don't smell like mold
because I live in a two-story house.
Can I please have a quiet ride?
Oh, okay. Sure.
Thank you.

My gosh, what a bunch of coincidences.
Bye.
Sir, it's me. Where are we
going to promote the hangover drink today?
You see, something came up.
