ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS,
ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS
DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA
ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS
Stop messing around with your hair.
Before Tae-hun shaves his head
and goes to live in a temple.
If I had a crazy sister,
a daughter who doesn't listen to him,
and a hysterical girlfriend…
Is there anything I can do as I please
apart from my hair?
You are quite bold.
Cutting your own hair at home.
I did go to a salon to fix it a little.
Still, what if you'd ruined it?
You said you cut it with kitchen scissors.
I just
wanted to try cutting it
with my own hands.
Are you feeling better?
SURROUND AIR MASSAGER
I'm thinking of getting this
for your father's birthday present.
No. You already gave him gifts
on Chuseok and New Year's.
You don't need to get
something for his birthday, too…
Just skip my dad's birthday. Please.
All right.
Thank you.
Have a safe trip home.
And enjoy your lunch.
You, too. Enjoy your lunch.
I'll have kimchi stew.
All right.
Me? I'll have kimchi deopbap.
Me too.
What's this?
I don't look good in anything
since my hair's shorter.
I know, right?
Oh, hello.
Hi.
What? Tae-hun?
-Hello.
-Hello.
Hello.
Your hair…
I cut it.
I see.
I guess we're enjoying lunch
at the same place today.
Yes.
Please, it's getting cold.
All right, enjoy your meal.
She's changed her style a lot, suddenly.
Yes.
Did you not tell him you cut your hair?
It's like a war
whenever I go through Gangnam.
It's not like that
when you go north, right?
I'm going to Gangnam, too, today.
I have plans with my former colleagues.
You must have gotten along with them
at your previous workplace.
Mi-jeong…
Hello.
It's been a while.
It's been ages.
Not for you two though, right?
Are you still dating Mi-jeong's sister?
Yes, of course.
Mi-jeong, you just keep getting--
I forgot we shouldn't talk
about stuff like this.
I forgot.
You should still finish
what you were saying.
"Getting" what?
Getting…
Happy New Year.
-Let's go inside.
-Yes.
-Let's go.
-Let's go in.
A while ago, I told my publisher friend
about the Liberation Club
at my school reunion.
And he asked me if he could see
what we wrote.
The liberation notes of all four of us.
He wants to publish them.
Publish them?
He said how we came together
would make a great story.
He said it's going to be something.
I have no idea what that something is,
but he was talking to me
with his eyes all sparkling.
It made me excited.
He says it could be a slice-of-life story
about ordinary office workers.
Apparently, it's a great subject.
"Liberation."
I told him we didn't do it anymore,
but he keeps asking me to show him.
But it's not my decision
to make on my own.
So, I told him
I would ask you all in person.
Even today, he wanted to
come here with me so I had to stop him.
Are we going to be authors, then?
I don't think I can do that.
Why? Is it too much?
I haven't even written that much,
and it's too personal…
What if we use fake names?
Like pseudonyms.
Let's make pseudonyms.
I've also stopped halfway.
Wouldn't it still be quite a lot
if we gathered all of ours?
I've filled about two notebooks.
I kept writing
even after we stopped the club.
That's impressive.
What about you, Mi-jeong?
Do you still write?
No, I was done
after I had finished one notebook.
It sounds like
you've accomplished something.
It's not that.
But I'm not sure if it's good enough
to be published as a book--
He says it is!
Just the story from the four of us is…
I'm sorry.
I shouldn't have told him
without asking you guys first.
I shouldn't act like this at my age.
I told him about all of you,
and about the things
you wanted to be liberated from.
He liked it. He said it has weight.
When we were saying goodbye,
we were determined to see it through
to the end wherever we are.
I guess I was
just caught up in the moment.
I don't even know
where my notebook is now.
I was moved by the word "liberation,"
and I was moved again when you
mentioned your father's handwriting.
I was moved by all those moments,
then I went back
to living the way I used to.
But at the beginning, I thought,
"This must have been what it's like
to fight for Korea's liberation."
The feeling of holding something
in your heart.
My liberation.
But…
even though we did make a start,
we didn't accomplish anything, did we?
But…
we can't exactly say we
accomplished nothing, don't you think?
Do you feel a little liberated?
Well, some days, I feel like I am.
And some days, I feel like
I'm back to square one.
But I still feel
I've been liberated even just a little.
Do you not feel like that at all, Mr. Cho?
I found out why I was suffering,
but other than that…
I think that's what this is all about.
Finding out what my issue is.
Let's end it with Hyeon.
Sir?
I'm sure he's pocketed
a lot of money all this time.
Make it look like we're closing the place
because business isn't good
and move the shop somewhere else.
I have a good feeling.
See? It's a flush.
A flush? I knew it.
-I feel bad for you.
-Damn it.
You kept telling me to come back
when I was living quietly
in the countryside.
It was because you needed money to gamble.
Can't you stop?
Can't you?
-Can't you just stop?
-You're one to talk!
Can you stop?
You drink from sunrise to sunset.
You can't even remember your own number.
Who are you to tell me that?
Mind your own business!
If the daily revenue goes below 80 million
even once starting tomorrow, you're out.
Understood?
You're out if it drops
below that even once.
And why do I have to remember my number?
Aren't you going to answer?
Sir?
Your phone's ringing.
Isn't this your phone?
What ringing, sir?
We'll be off.
Good night.
Well, I'm taking the bus.
I see.
-All right, then. Happy New…
-Yes. Happy New Year, sir.
Get home safe.
I could never forget
what you said that day, Mi-jeong.
You once said to me
that when you decided to be liberated,
you started feeling emotions
that you'd never felt before.
You said you suddenly felt so lovable.
I wonder what it's like
to feel lovable.
See you again.
Take care.
My gosh.
So you can joke around, too.
I thought my hands would get shaky first,
but I'm hearing things instead.
Well, my brain must be breaking down.
I deserve it. Since I drink as soon as
I open my eyes in the morning.
Not a lot of people
start drinking in the morning.
They say even heavy drinkers
can't drink in the morning.
But it's easier than being sober.
Why is it hard to stay sober?
When I'm sober,
all the people from my past come to me.
All of them.
Even the dead.
When I wake up in the morning,
the ones who were resting…
get up one by one
and come to me.
One by one.
Endlessly…
The ones who come for me…
I destroy them all inside my head.
And curse at them.
After I sit there
for an hour doing that,
I get exhausted.
It feels like…
there's sewage waste
flowing inside my body.
I say, "Let's get up."
"Let's drink."
"They'll all go away if I drink."
That's why
I'm more generous drunk
than I am when sober.
Among those people who came for you,
was I one of them?
What's wrong with me?
I'm not even an alcoholic,
but I understand you perfectly.
When I'm brushing my teeth in the morning
after a good sleep,
Choi Jun-ho, that asshole,
is waiting for me in my head.
Han Su-jin, that bitch, is there too.
And that bastard, Jung Chan-hyeok, too.
All I did was sleep and wake up.
But I get angry while brushing my teeth.
What's that bastard's phone number?
Just give me the number.
I'll take care of it.
That bastard…
shouldn't pay me back.
Because I want to prove
what a terrible person he is
for as long as possible.
I want to prove to the world
that he didn't leave me
because I was small and insignificant,
but because he was a terrible person.
That's why he left me like that.
I wanted to make him think
that he was
a terrible person during his wedding.
And if he ever has a child,
I want to go to their birthday party
and remind him again
that he's a terrible person.
That's why
I'm always exhausted.
Since I decided
to be someone who exists only to prove…
how terrible someone is.
Among those people
you wanted to prove were terrible…
was I one of them?
You're like…
a sanctuary that I keep within my head.
Because I decided
to keep you away from my hate.
After you left,
my mom passed away,
and my dad remarried…
I felt like
I was constantly being abandoned.
In every kind of relationship I've had,
I've never walked away first.
The other person always left me.
So I thought maybe
something was wrong with me.
And since it was so painful
to find a problem with myself,
I made myself believe
everyone else was the asshole.
But I was
determined from the moment I met you.
that I wouldn't make
any more assholes in my life.
That I'd gladly let you fly away
if you become a better person.
That I wouldn't be embarrassed
even if you hit rock bottom.
That I'd only cheer you on
from one person to another.
When I felt like I would hate you,
I begged in my head,
"Please, don't even let him catch a cold."
"Please don't let him suffer
from a hangover."
But since I was unhappy all the time,
when I wanted to blame you out of anger,
I would say,
"Jung Chan-hyeok, you bastard."
Whenever nothing was going my way
and I didn't know where to vent my anger,
I said, "Jung Chan-hyeok, you bastard."
Then it occurred to me,
"What if he pays it all back?"
"Who would I curse, then?"
I'm worried he might pay me back.
Come to think of it…
I've never caught a cold.
Everyone, run backwards
and wave your arms and say, "Welcome!"
-Welcome!
-Welcome!
Face front again!
See you later!
Hurry it up, okay?
We've got all kinds of pork.
It's an all-you-can-eat pork buffet!
It sure is different.
Mi-jeong went to the store early
in the morning to get freshly made ones.
Yes, you can tell.
Do you like the matching shirts?
That kimchi isn't good. Don't eat it.
There's amazing kimchi in the fridge.
Why did you get your hair cut
in the middle of winter?
I had it cut since it was
too hard to wash it.
It feels so light now that it's short.
Goodness me.
This is medication for your knee, Dad.
Take two tablets in the morning.
You've done well.
How did you pay back all of it?
You're amazing.
It's nothing.
I can treat you all to beef sashimi
and everything, now.
If I make 2.8 million won now,
it's all mine.
I reduced the amount of money I spend,
so I don't really spend much.
I can eat whatever I want
and still have some money left.
I never realized
2.8 million won was so much.
Just like eating an almond
after being on a strict diet
and thinking, "Wow, an almond
could taste this good?"
Is it something like that?
Seriously, I was worried
she might divorce my dad.
So, I just sucked it up
and paid it all back.
What would would have
my stepmother thought
if she saw that his children
had trouble with money?
She might regret marrying him.
She probably felt very secure
that my dad owned some land.
If my dad gets divorced,
I'll have to bring him to live with us.
You know,
when my mom passed away
and I was having all three meals
with just my dad,
I kept worrying that we might
grow old together like this
if I don't do anything.
It was depressing.
So I thought, "I need to get it together
and help my dad remarry."
As soon as
someone set him up with a woman,
I got him an exfoliation treatment
and a facelift.
I just can't believe Mr. Yeom even went
to the dermatology clinic with you.
Right.
He had to if he didn't want to
live with me forever.
And why would I ruin his marriage
that we put so much effort into?
So, I just had to suck it up
and put my all into paying it back.
Saving money may be hard,
but spending it was so easy.
The money I saved over ten years…
That's why you don't save any.
Just spend it all.
I really thought I hit the jackpot.
I was going to sell sweet potato ovens
to over 2,000 convenience stores.
And looking at the warehouse
full of ovens,
I thought I had finally
made a breakthrough in life.
But to have given all of that up…
I'm amazing.
I gave up selling them to stores
and only sold 300 of them that winter.
The other 1700 are still
sitting in the warehouse.
The story keeps changing.
You said you failed
since you couldn't
go to the machine testing.
I could but I didn't.
They were all loaded in a truck.
And the test was just a formality.
They were the number one bid.
Then why didn't you go?
It was all yours for the taking.
What?
What?
This is so unlike you.
Are you teasing me?
Why aren't you saying anything?
You know
how I always vent by talking?
But I don't want to this time.
This silence of mine.
The stoic and cool me
that only I remember.
Jeez…
I won't do it because if I do,
the weight of my silence
will be lightened.
It'll be my own secret, forever.
You little…
Don't worry, alright?
He'll tell us in a minute.
What's with you? The minute's almost up.
You know what?
-He'll tell us if we tickle him.
-That's right.
-Tell us.
-He'll tell us.
The words sit on the tip of your tongue,
wanting to come out.
But when you swallow them back down,
that's when you know you're an adult.
You fall in love with yourself thinking,
"I can't believe I held back."
I'm falling in love with myself again.
This bastard…
Why did he get so annoying?
It's amazing.
I didn't feel good
for even a second today.
But right at the end, I do.
I'm going to walk.
Please get in, sir. You'll catch a cold.
I won't.

I FELL IN LOVE WITH EUN-O'S PASSION.
BUT I CAN'T STAND SONG JI-SEON.
MY LIBERATION NOTES
YEOM MI-JEONG
MY LIBERATION NOTES
When I sit here
with your father and watch the snow,
I think, "I never thought
this kind of day would come."
RECENT DESTINATION
Has Yeom Gi-jeong decided
not to come anymore?
She doesn't come
to the bar anymore, either.
Did you break up?
She's in Sanpo.
It's her father's birthday.
I wonder what kind of excuse
she'll have next week.
Hello?
If I have to,
I'll take her and disappear,
so don't worry.
There's egg bread!
-Are we not buying any?
-He said Gi-jeong's not here!
Help yourself.
Okay.
I wonder if I'll ever see
Mi-jeong gossiping before I die.
I talk a lot.
With whom?
No. I forgot the dongchimi.
It's okay. There's a lot to eat here.
We've got amazing dongchimi.
Take some with you.
I'll pack them for you.
All right.
If you think you would be fine
living on your own,
just do that.
It's okay for you to do that.
I don't think someone who's
gotten married twice can say that.
I can because I've done it twice.
Your dad
isn't strong.
You guys
are better than me.
There's a film called Return To Paradise.
I saw it when I was in high school.
It's a story about three men backpacking.
They hang out for a few days together
and then part ways.
Two of them decide
to go back to their country,
and one of them decides to stay.
But after a few years,
some lawyer comes to talk to them.
The three of them smoked marijuana
when they were together,
but the one who stayed
got caught for possession.
But the marijuana he had was enough
for him to receive the death penalty.
The lawyer tells the two of them that
if they testify they were in it together,
he could avoid the death penalty
since the punishment will be
reduced by one-third.
But…
all three of them would have to
be in prison for three years.
I wouldn't go.
The one who was
pretending to be conscientious
and said they should help him
avoid the death penalty
runs away after seeing
how bad the prison is in that country.
But…
the one who said he didn't want to go,
he begins to change his mind
after seeing what it's like there.
He thinks, "Shouldn't we stay with him?"
In the end, the one who pretended
to be conscientious runs away,
and the man who was arrested
is sentenced to death.
And the one who changed his mind
testifies on his friend's behalf
and becomes imprisoned.
It's ridiculous, right?
But…
on the day of the execution,
when the man who was sentenced
to death is trembling on the scaffold,
the one who testified for him
shouts from inside his cell,
"I'm here!"
"Look into my eyes."
"I'm right here!"
"I'm right here!"
For those ten minutes…
Or maybe it was five.
I felt I could be
in that prison for three years
just to be able to experience
those five minutes.
Though they weren't even close friends.
You bastard.
You watched an R-rated movie
when you were in high school…
I'm on my way.
They told me to hurry so we can go home.
When are you coming again?
FAR-INFRARED SWEET POTATO OVEN
TASTY SWEET POTATOES
Yes…
You know the test is at our store, right?
I know. I'm leaving now.
Why are you leaving so early?
It's only 11.
I need to go set things up in advance.
I also need to stop by somewhere.
I'll see you there.
Hyeok-su.
Sir. Can you hear me?
His vitals are dropping…
CALLING
JI HYEON-A
Hyeok-su doesn't have much time left.
Hurry here, quickly.
We can't reach his guardian.
At this rate, it's a matter of hours.
Do you have any other numbers?
We don't.
Give me his mother's number.
I'll try calling her.
INCOMING CALL
LEE MIN-GYU
Yes.
Why aren't you here yet?
The people from HQ are here.
I need to hang up for now.
I got it. I'll call you back.
CALL
JI HYEON-A
JI HYEON-A
Hyeok-su.
I'm sorry
for making you feel anxious.
Hyeok-su.
It will be just the two of us.
I'll be here for you.
I think…
I was destined for things like this.
I was also there when my grandpa,
grandma, and my mother
passed away.
Isn't it weird?
Most people my age
haven't even witnessed one death.
But…
I think it's better that it's me.
Whenever I send them away,
I was relieved that I was there.
My legs led me here again, like a psychic.
Hyeok-su.
I know since I've sent three people away.
When you go…
you'll feel better.
Their faces told me.
So Hyeok-su,
don't be afraid…
and leave peacefully.
Gently.
I'm right here.
The person you have called
is not available at the moment…
FAR-INFRARED SWEET POTATO OVEN
TASTY SWEET POTATOES
CAFE MONOLOGUE
OPENS FEBRUARY 18, 2022
What did they say?
They said to come starting tomorrow.
Didn't you say
the one in Jamwon-dong pays well too?
I'll keep working there,
and this is just for the weekend.
I thought it'd be nice to work in Gangbuk.
Take it easy, no one's after you.
I only feel alive
when I exhaust myself completely.
If I have any energy left, I feel heavy.
"Nothing has gone my way,
and I haven't achieved anything,
but I've done my best at least."
Is it like the way you feel spent
after having diarrhea?
I wish I had diarrhea.
Drink an iced latte.
Shall I buy you one?
I need to drink it at home, not outside.
You look better than I expected.
Why wouldn't I?
The weather's nice.
Spring must be on its way.
It must be.
Spring will come, then summer,
and then winter.
Bye, then.
Bye.
I'll come to the convenience store
after work on the weekend.
I regretted it.
That I said
I wanted to escape
from feeling weak at the Liberation Club.
I feel like I meddled
with something unacceptable
that I was supposed
to pretend not to know about.
And because you, Gi-jeong,
were drawn to me after hearing those words
and felt sorry for me,
I realized you wouldn't be
able to leave me even if you wanted to.
You're right, I can't leave you.
No, I won't leave you.
What's wrong with being
drawn to someone out of pity?
With human emotions,
you can't always distinguish
between pity, respect, and love clearly.
I can't. I've got them
all balled up in a lump.
I respect you, Tae-hun.
And I pity you and I love you.
I feel all of it.
By the way,
why did you cut your hair?
What?
Can't I cut my hair?
Aren't I allowed?
I don't know how it got like this.
I wanted to be one to cheer you on.
That's what I wanted,
but it feels like I'm just another woman
who's making your life harder.
I mean, to be honest, I don't know
what the problem is.
"What did Tae-hun do that was so wrong?"
"And why do I feel so wronged?"
I mean, there's nothing particular
I can pick out as an example, it's just…
It's just this general feeling
that I'm losing at something.
I'm ashamed to be a woman
with so little self-esteem
who breaks down at the glare of a kid.
I was used to how
Gyeong-seon treats people.
She's always been that way,
ever since high school.
"But why are her words hurting me again?"
"Because I love Tae-hun?"
"But why does that have to be a reason
for me to feel small?"
"Love is supposed to give you strength,
but will I be happy if we broke up?"
But if I imagine breaking up,
my arm feels numb.
I get a kind of shock under my arm.
So, it's clear I can't break up with you,
which means I have to go further.
But I don't know how to do that.
I didn't say this
because it felt like an excuse,
but I'll say it anyway.
For some reason,
when I see a kid toddling along
from behind,
I feel bad.
"In thirty years,
what kind of burdens
will they be carrying around?"
"What kind of humiliation
will they have endured?"
"I was able to because it was me."
"But that kid…"
I wish that no child would ever
have to endure those kinds of things.
And of course, I'm glad I have Yu-rim.
I can't even imagine my life
without Yu-rim.
"Was I happy to be born?"
If I think about it seriously…
the answer is no.
I think that's why when you said
you weren't pregnant,
I let out
a sigh of relief involuntarily.
That was it
for Cho Tae-hun's excuse.
But…
if we have to live because we were born,
how are we supposed to live?
I'll be a man.
Four women are too much for you, right?
From today, I'm a man.
I'm a man.
That's why I cut my hair.
Go on ahead. I'll stop by the bank.
-Sure.
-Yes.
Yes, what about the chief?
Isn't he there?
I really need to discuss this with him.
One moment.
Yes, sir.
Take your card.
Yes, I just got off the phone
with Mr. Lee.
Yes, he said the handover wasn't complete.
Oh, I see.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
He didn't. It was his bag.
Do you
work around here?
Yes, at H Card.
It seems you work around here, too.
There, at MC Mall.
I'll send you a million won tomorrow.
Give me some more time for the rest.
I'm sorry for dragging it out so long.
It's fine.
I'll be off. It's my lunch break.
Right.
Sure, bye.
Yeom Mi-jeong.
Yeom Mi-jeong!
-Where are you headed?
-To buy alcohol.
There's a convenience store this way too.
I like it when you shout, "Yeom Mi-jeong!"
When I went home, I read my old diaries,
and I was so surprised.
Because the childhood that I remember
and the one recorded in my diaries
were so different.
I thought I was a clueless kid
who didn't feel anything for anyone
and had no sense of presence.
But in the diaries, I've got so much love.
"I like her because of this.
I like him because of that."
Turns out I was a really passionate kid.
You didn't know?
You're passionate.
Why did you drink so much?
Because I felt good.
Sometimes…
very occasionally,
it's quiet inside my head
even when I'm sober.
As if…
everything's stopped, I guess?
Then I pour in the hard liquor again.
When I feel comfortable and happy
I drink to break it
because I hate feeling that way.
When I feel my life
is going okay, I drink.
I beat myself up in advance.
"I'm not happy."
"I'm definitely not happy."
"I've been miserable."
"So please punish me just a little.
Please, only a little."
"Waking up and sitting up
in the morning is hard."
"I felt like I couldn't even
take five steps back,
so I didn't go back for my umbrella
and walked in the rain."
"Because those five steps
were too difficult,
I got soaked in the rain."
"My life is too hard, I'm so tired."
"I'm already being punished harshly.
So please, I'm begging you!"
Why are you so adorable?
When those people come
to you again in the morning,
laugh like you did now.
Welcome them like that.
Yeom Mi-jeong!
Gi-jeong.
Gi-jeong.
Why did you buy more? I still have some.
I just thought of it on my way.
Wait. What's this?
I felt a bit bad about always
just bringing you egg bread.
Well, I'll be off.
Wait. What is it?
I asked you what this is!
It's my heart.
What?
Pick-up girl, Yeom Gi-jeong.
I found the head of a rose
that broke off from its stem
and placed it in a soy sauce dish
filled with water.
Even if I tried to make it stand,
it doesn't have a stem,
so I laid it in a soy sauce dish.
Wouldn't it be wonderful
if our love was a long-stemmed rose
blooming beautifully in a vase?
This rose lying exhausted
in a soy sauce dish reminded me of you
and me.
I'm afraid it would wither faster
if I'm not looking
so I can't take my eyes off of it.
That's the type of woman I am.
A man who buys me egg bread
once every three days
in the winter because I said I liked it.
What if I said I liked beef?
I compliment myself
for saying I liked egg bread,
and as for you,
who always buys me egg bread…
I love you.
Tae-hun, the buttons on your coat
are done up wrong.
I'll be back later. Take care.

-This must be it.
-Yes, it is.
-It's right here.
-It's here.
It's here.
LECTURE ROOM 302
Hello, everyone.
-Hello.
-Hello.
-The weather's quite cold, isn't it?
-It is.
All right. Let me just
take a quick look at you.
All right.
So, let's take some time
to get to know each other.
You at the front, when's your birthday?
It's May 9th.
You were born on a good day.
-And what about your birthday?
-Mine's September 19th.
-September 19th?
-Yes.
You were born on an even better day.
And may I ask the day you'll die?
Yes, the day you'll die.
You don't know yet?
May I ask you when you're planning to die?
I'm not sure.
-You don't really know, right? Me neither.
-No.
We all know when we were born,
but we have no idea when we'll die, right?
So, whether you're alive or dead,
you're never prepared
for your last journey.
As those who've experienced it know,
it's very sad when a precious person
in your life passes away.
And the person
who stays beside them to help them
leave comfortably and beautifully,
and to help the rest of their family
see them off in peace, is…
FUNERAL DIRECTOR
A funeral director,
which all of you will soon become.
Everyone, please take
the textbook out from under your desk.

-You've heard of a wedding planner, right?
-Yes.
Their job is to manage the entire wedding.
You could say that funeral directors
do the same for funerals.
Like how a wedding is a ceremonial event
for a couple embarking on a new beginning,
a funeral is also a ceremonial event
to mark the end of a person's life.
Welcome.
I'm glad to see everyone who's come here
to become a funeral director.
My name is Choi Seok-jun.
All right, then, what is a funeral?
Turn to page 48.
Let's take a look at the process
and the meaning of the modern funeral.
You can read the opening paragraph
at home if you'd like.
In a three-day funeral,
there are many tasks that you must do.
On the first day, the day the person dies,
the body is moved and placed in a coffin.
Plans are then made for the funeral
and a funeral home is chosen,
and mourners come after the news
of the death has been announced.
On the second day,
the corpse is dressed, and…

PARK SANG-MIN
Let's restart The Liberation Club.
Until it works.
I would love to.
I'm in.
Let's do it.
If you leave me just like that
What will I do?
-Hey, Ok-ja.
-Yes, sir.
How old are you? This song's old.
It's because I have an old-fashioned name.
How dare you touch my money?
Put it down.
Go on.
The manager here owes us
160 million won in gambling debt,
but this is only 50 million.
What shall we do? When will you
give me the other 110 million?
Boss. You can leave first.
We'll take care of the rest here.
If we're lucky,
we might be able to get
the rest of the money.
Did you all take classes
to learn to talk like that?
How do you all sound exactly the same?
"I wasn't good in school, I'm a dropout."
Hey, Woo-bin.
Kim Woo-bin.
Yes, sir!
Close the shop.
We won't be opening today.
Close the shop! We're not open today!
You bastard!
Hey, Chun-ja.
Chun-ja. Hey.
Hey.
Chun-ja.
Hey.
Yes…
Yes, sir.
HYEON-JIN
The person you have called
is currently unavailable.
You'll be directed
to voicemail after the tone.
You're now one of the people
who come to me
in the morning when I'm sober.
You're one of the people who make me
curse from the moment I wake up.
Hyeon-jin.
I'll welcome you back.
I'll welcome you with arms wide open,
so I hope to see you again alive.
Seven seconds.

There's this part in my liberation note.
Yeom Mi-jeong's life is
divided into two parts,
before and after she met Mr. Gu.
I must be crazy.
I feel
so lovable.
Trudging on…
step by step.
There's nothing but love in my heart.
So…
I can't feel anything but love.
