ANNOUNCEMENT OF SUNJIN CONSTRUCTION'S RESTAURANT PARTNER

What do you think is the reason we lost?

It seems like their emotional strategy worked out.

They gave people a positive impression

that they not only deliver food but also kindness and affection.

The restaurants in the food alley greeted their customers like family as well.

That's also written in our manual.

It says that you must treat your customers

with sincere kindness instead of obligated kindness.

But why?

Why couldn't we convey our sincerity

when they succeeded in conveying theirs?

I want all of you

to submit your resignation letters except for Ms. Son.

Pardon?

No one but Ms. Son came up with creative marketing ideas.

In other words,

you weren't desperate to win this competition.

You simply followed

what the manual said in a passive attitude.

I don't need people who only attempt to earn money without doing anything.

Write a resignation letter right now.

This is unfair.

Then try suing me, but you better get ready for what comes after.

Get out.

Help yourself.

Thank you.

You want your bill?

Did you enjoy your food?

Welcome, this way.

We do deliveries too, so please use our delivery service.

LUNCH MENU

Welcome.

-Welcome. -Here.

Thank you. Did you enjoy your food?

Yes, I enjoyed it so much.

It's my wife's favorite food too.

Then order one for her. We'll deliver it to your house.

You'll find the menu in the mobile app.

-Mobile app? -Yes.

-I should do that. -Please do.

GOOD PRICE GOOD RESTAURANT FOOD ALLEY

This is successful.

You're the best.

-What? -You said it's successful.

You haven't become successful for real yet.

But you said it's successful.

I think this computer isn't working right.

Dan-ah!

What's keeping you so busy?

I had lunch with him alone again.

Sorry.

Make an order already. What do you want to have?

We'll have jjajangmyeon.

-Two orders of jjajangmyeon. -Okay.

Two more of it, please.

Open up.

Stop it.

You're so cute.

Dan-ah, how deep is your relationship with Mister?

-What? -Did you kiss him?

So you did.

Who kissed first?

Stop.

I bet it happened like this.

Mister is very defensive.

I tried to kiss him last time and got embarrassed so much.

How many times did you try?

Shut up and eat your food.

Come on. It's not like we're animals.

It's human's biggest privilege to talk during their meal.

What did you do after you kissed him?

Hey.

What? I want to learn from your experience.

I'm done with my food.

I'm done, too.

So tell me.

It's now only the two of us.

What did you do after?

I'm curious too.

Thank you for the food.

What's wrong with you all?

It's nothing to be ashamed.

To whom should I ask?

Not only the employees of Sunjin Construction,

but also other office workers returned to the food alley.

Delivery orders increased too.

If this continues, the food alley will be back in the black.

Our company will have a surplus for the first time too.

Let's work hard a little more. Once Jung Ga falls back,

I might be able to pay you some bonus aside from your salary.

-Yes! -Good.

Yes!

Let's give a round of applause to our new employee, Jin-gyu for his nice idea.

Please don't make me embarrassed already.

-Good boy. -Gosh.

Why do they keep calling me that?

Our sales dropped to half the original amount.

At this rate, the Jung Ga Building itself

will have a deficit of more than 300 million won.

How much the interest rate should we pay a month?

Including ten billion won which we received from Youngil Savings Bank.

We have to pay 120 million won a month.

After six months, we have to pay the principal along with the amount.

Thus, we need three times more budget than now.

Let's start doing delivery service.

Develop an application within 15 days and get the delivery system ready.

Yes, ma'am.

What about the other baits?

They're ready.

Set them as soon as we begin our delivery service.

We must wipe them out at once.

Understood.

What are you looking at?

-It's nothing. -What is it?

I said it's nothing.

So why are you hiding it from me? Let me see.

Stop it. I said it's nothing.

You're making me more suspicious.

I'll kiss you if you don't show me.

Gosh, okay. See all you want.

What? The letters have changed.

Give it back to me now.

What does that mean?

It's a secret.

Why is it plus 20 now?

It's a secret.

Is it a count-up from that day?

So you're not that slow-witted.

You better do it right.

Otherwise, "Happy Day" might be changed to "D-day" again.

Then I'll be in real despair.

Others might think it's only a change in some letters,

but it's not for me.

It's the day when I found hope for the first time in my life.

It's the day when I dreamed of happiness for the first time in my life.

And it's because of you.

Keep your promise.

Make me happy for sure.

Understand?

Okay.

Thank you

for staying beside me.

Thank you for making me happy.

You're making me uncomfortable. Why are you staring at me like that?

You're handsome.

-What? -You're handsome.

It's true. You're attractive the more I look at you.

I thought you were like a useless diamond at first,

but you turned into a very useful rock.

Is that

a compliment?

-Of course. -Gosh, you...

You make even your compliment sound annoying.

I know you like it.

Goodnight, rock.

Please stop. I might have a nightmare.

Stop.

Wait a second.

Thank you.

Thank you

for making me a useful rock.

I thank you even more.

Without you, I would've cried alone every day.

Jin-gyu.

Yes?

Can I love you?

Will you love me?

Okay.

-Close your eyes. -Okay.

Goodnight.

Hold on.

I think I forgot to brush my teeth.

-What? Well... -Hold on. I'll go brush my teeth.

You shouldn't do this in the middle.

Sorry.

Keep the mood going.

Whatever. I'm going to sleep.

I'll make it quick. Hold on.

How did you know I was a punk? Gosh, the knife.

-Mr. Na. -Hi, Mr. Choi.

Come check it. I prepared an event outside to help you.

Welcome.

Hello, everyone. All you need to do is

take a photo with your pet and a delivery man from Strongest Deliveryman.

You can apply for the event by simply uploading that photo.

One, two...

WALLY, BICHON FRISE, MALE

The head of Youngil Savings Bank is a jerk.

Jong-hyun Kim, the head of Youngil Savings Bank, is a scumbag.

Welcome.

Mister.

Mister.

Hi, Kang-soo. It's been a while.

Hi, Soon-ae.

Kang-soo and I had some conversations in the detention center

and he mentioned your name, so I came just in case.

And it's really you.

Yes.

How have you been?

I've been doing all right.

Why did you go to the detention center?

You happen to encounter a lot of misunderstandings

if you deal with money in your job.

But it's all been settled all right.

Soon-ae.

You shouldn't

do this to me.

Your father and I were like brothers.

I'm sorry.

That's why I couldn't tell you.

I know you can get really scary if you make your mind to it.

I thought everything would've been fine if I disappeared.

I see.

Let's stay in touch from now on.

Eat before you go.

Maybe next time.

You're Dan-ah?

-Yes. -You're pretty.

That's why Kang-soo thought of you every night.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Why did you have to say such a thing to a man you met in the detention center?

Sorry. I talked about many things with him every night and it happened.

You talkative brat.

By the way, what's the relationship between Mr. Jang and Soon-ae?

How did they meet?

It's none of your business.

Come on.

She's the daughter of a big loan shark who was famous back in the days.

Mr. Jang was one of the gangsters who were told to kidnap her.

Is she not in here?

-Go find her in the basement. -Okay.

Let's go to the basement.

That's how they started to meet in secret.

Soon-ae asked him to run away together too.

But it seems like he hesitated and missed the chance.

So that's why she's always mean to her.

Now, you made me talkative.

Act like you don't know any of this. She'll scold me if she finds out.

Okay.

-Kang-soo. -Yes?

Promise me.

No matter what happens, let's not break up like a fool.

No matter how hard standing it is, let's endure it together.

Promise me.

-Okay, I promise. -Stamp on the promise.

We signed, scanned,

laminated,

and sealed it.

Gosh.

We're ready.

Begin.

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

Kang-soo saved me.

Gosh, so tired.

I'll lock the store and leave.

You may go home first.

Really?

Gosh, thank you so much.

No problem. Instead, please raise my salary if your business goes well.

Things are too tough for me nowadays.

Sure thing. I'll raise it after we go through this crisis.

Thanks for your hard work.

You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow.

See you.

-Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Excuse me.

Sorry, we're closed for today.

I'm not here for a meal. I'm here to tell you something.

What is this about?

I'm the worker here, not the owner.

I know. That's why I'm here to talk to you.

There it comes.

It's here.

GOOD PRICE GOOD RESTAURANTS FOOD ALLEY

Hello.

Hello.

-You brought the rice? -Of course.

It's glossy and nice.

Get me a sack of the rice.

-Okay. -Goodness.

-Here. -Put it inside over there.

-Excuse me. -Who are you?

I'd like to talk to you after work today.

Why should I do that?

Come see me and you'll find out.

Please do if you don't want to harm Kang-soo.

CHIEF SECRETARY, SANG-DO PARK

-What? -If I put my mind to it,

I can send you to prison again.

I'm sorry, but the case has been settled.

No, it's not.

Assault cases can be prosecuted without a complaint by the victim.

A third party can put it into a reinvestigation

even if the victim wants to settle the case.

According to the security camera footage, you broke in Jung Ga's restaurant,

threatened Jin-gyu and damaged our property.

You'll have to pay for that as well.

Go ahead. I'm okay with rotting in prison for years.

I can't believe they tried to mess with me.

I didn't call you in here to threaten you.

-What? -I'll threaten

Kang-soo instead of you with this.

I heard Kang-soo cares a lot about you.

If I threaten him that I'll send you to prison,

he'll be swayed for sure. Don't you agree?

Or he'll do whatever means to take the blame on your behalf.

In any way,

he'll suffer like crazy.

Choose.

Choose to be the one to suffer by betraying them

or to make Kang-soo suffer because of you.

Why this...

Come to Jung Ga with your people.

We'll begin delivering food too.

You're here. You're lucky to meet the right timing. Come join us.

-What brings you here? -What do you mean? To have ramen.

Where have you been alone?

I went out to get some fresh air.

You get so much fresh air as is while delivering food.

Are you cheating on me?

-Crazy punk. -I'm sorry,

but this isn't right. I'll pretend I didn't hear it.

We can't handle that kind of joke.

Was it that bad? Sorry, let's eat.

We don't have enough chopsticks.

Here. I didn't put my mouth on it yet.

-This is why you're a loser. -What are you talking about?

Stop caring for others and take your share.

-You're not a stranger. -Then what?

-You're my customer. -What?

Please go ahead and try this food.

It's high in nutrition.

Kang-soo, what's wrong with you today?

I guess he's in a high mood thanks to his successful business.

We shouldn't become sloppy and work hard. Business is about trust.

We should be always consistent. Okay?

-Okay. -Okay.

Where's Sung-jae by the way?

I woke up in the morning and he was gone.

-Hello? -Kang-soo, this is bad.

Jung Ga has started doing their delivery service.

What?

You're here.

Look. I was on my way to work this morning and found them handing it out.

What should we do now?

What's that?

Sung-jae.

What are you doing?

They offered me more salary, so I moved to Jung Ga.

-Let me earn some money. -What?

Hey. Have you no conscience?

Kang-soo went to the detention center because of you.

That's why I moved.

I can never earn a lot of money under a nosy CEO like him.

So I decided to work for them.

-Don't be so upset. -Sung-jae.

Your company is doing well anyway.

It won't be a problem at all even without a few of people.

-Don't you think so? -Hey!

I'm an orphan. I'll only be a pathetic loser without money.

So please understand.

Sorry.

I'll go.

I can't believe he did that.

Money overpowers everything after all.

It's not because of money.

Sung-jae can never be swayed by money.

I'm sure there's something other than money behind this.

Come on. Money is the most certain reason.

No, I'm sure about this.

You need to be on your toes.

I think they're after you.

They can hire other delivery men,

but they scouted your hometown friend.

It's to take you down.

Would they do such a thing?

The way I see it, they're capable of doing worse things.

Let's get to work first. Jung Ga has begun their delivery service.

It's a real battle from now on.

Get in position!

-All right. -All right.

Kang-soo.

It's okay.

He'll come back.

He always came back when I waited for him.

Mr. Kim, how's your work?

Tell me if you need anything.

Kang-soo won't go down even if you do this.

It's you who's going to get fucked.

-Be polite to her. -Leave him be.

Think as you please.

You may go now.

What happened to the bait you set in the food alley?

She'll hand us the ingredients tonight.

I'm sorry. Please excuse me.

You mixed domestic ingredients with imported ones

to make it hard to differentiate.

Still, experts can tell them apart.

The seafood and chili pepper are all mixed with Chinese.

You've marked their origins wrong.

It can't be.

We really use domestic food ingredients.

I'm telling you the truth.

Kang-soo. What happened?

I don't know what's going on.

What? They said they used domestic ingredients only.

We won't pay for the food.

Gosh, please wait.

Goodness.

What's going on?

It's bad.

Please go to your hometown and figure out what happened.

-Okay. -I'll go with you.

We'll go to the food alley.

Okay.

Why did the inspectors come suddenly?

And they inspected Mr. Park's restaurant in specific.

Someone reported it.

Someone reported it?

What are you going to do?

Sunjin Construction might cancel the partnership.

I'm sorry. Please give us some time

until we figure out what happened.

Persuading me won't solve the problem.

The employees are requesting us to cancel the partnership.

They're very upset about this.

Apologizing isn't enough.

How could they lie about the food origin?

He's putting up a show.

They'll do it again after some time.

I know.

I hate those who mess with food.

We must not let this slide. We should cancel the partnership now.

WE APOLOGIZE SINCERELY. -STRONGEST DELIVERYMAN

There are rumors that we lied about the origins of our food ingredients.

Customers stopped coming.

If Sunjin Construction turn their back too, we'll be doomed.

All of us are about to go down because of you.

What will you do about this?

Why are you blaming me? I really don't know what happened.

You sold the domestic ingredients and used imported ones in secret.

You're accusing the wrong person.

I only made food with the ingredients

which Kang-soo gave me.

Gosh, will you deny until the end?

Gosh, it's so frustrating.

Wait.

Maybe it's Kang-soo who lied.

-What? -Think about it.

I used what Kang-soo gave me.

Then it's possible Kang-soo lied.

Don't you think so?

WE APOLOGIZE SINCERELY.

Kang-soo.

They all left work.

Let's go.

Get up.

Kang-soo. She says she really didn't do it.

We've known her for 20 years, so she wouldn't lie to us.

Tell me. Is it you?

Did you lie to us?

What are you doing?

It's because we're frustrated.

What's so frustrating?

He's more frustrated than anyone now.

Why are you going so worked up? Are you feeling guilty?

-What? -Why would you get worked up otherwise?

So it's right. You fooled us.

You lied that the ingredients were domestic and siphoned money.

Then you cashed in on your delivery service, isn't that right?

You pretended like you cared for us on the outside,

but you made use of us from behind.

How could you say that?

Where are you going? Answer me.

Why this...

I'm warning you. Don't touch him.

I won't stay still if you lay one finger on him.

You gave him a thumbs up whenever you saw him until yesterday.

And how could you change your attitude overnight?

He was your hero when he made you earn money and now, he's a villain?

Watch what you say.

What? Am I wrong?

You're the real scumbags.

You throw away your pride, trust, conscience

and everything for a few bucks.

This country is becoming more horrible because of people like you. You know that?

That's enough.

Let's go.

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo, we got a fax from Sunjin Construction.

They're canceling the partnership

with us.

Kang-soo.

Go.

Kang-soo.

I'm exhausted. Let me get some sleep.

I'm okay.

Don't worry.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Hi.

Hi.

You woke up early.

Yes.

Did you sleep well?

Of course.

Did you have breakfast?

No, right?

Right, Kang-soo. What do you want?

Shall I make some parched rice soup?

No, let's just have jjajangmyeon.

Again? How about ganjjajang then?

No, let's have plain jjajangmyeon.

Okay.

Sunjin Construction asked us to have a meeting tomorrow.

They canceled the partnership with Strongest Deliveryman.

They want to partner up with us, the second in place.

Good work, guys.

Proceed with the rest of the plan.

We must bring Strongest Deliveryman down entirely

using this chance. That way,

they'll never try to challenge us again.

Yes, ma'am.

I know your parents are going through a hard time too.

Isn't it about time you should support them?

Do you do background search now?

Of course, it's necessary to scout people.

I heard you're the most important member of Strongest Deliveryman.

You have a great educational background too.

It's a waste of talent for someone like you

to stay at a company which is soon to go bankrupt.

Come to Jung Ga.

We'll give you a chance to show your ability.

You didn't have to come to pay us from the morning.

Thank you.

Good luck with your work today.

I'll see you the 15th of next month.

-Hey, go talk to that boy. -Okay.

We have a guest, so goodbye.

The interest rate is extremely high.

How are we supposed to pay for it next month?

The food alley is doomed and our company is about to go bankrupt too.

Should we move to Jung Ga like Sung-jae did?

What?

I mean, we have to survive first.

Still, you can't betray Kang-soo.

We can't afford to be loyal now.

We might have to sell our organs at this rate.

-Organs? -Yes.

Punks like them force us to sell our organs

if we don't pay back our loan.

Goodness.

What?

Why are you here?

Jung Ga Delivery don't lie about the food origin.

Jung Ga Delivery don't deceive consumers.

Jung Ga Delivery is honest.

Jung Ga Delivery don't lie about the food origin.

Jung Ga Delivery don't deceive consumers.

Jung Ga Delivery don't lie about the food origin.

Jung Ga Delivery don't deceive consumers.

Jung Ga Delivery is honest.

Then... Does Mister's company have no hope?

I don't know.

It's all because of my mom, right?

Jin-gyu.

Yes?

You won't hate me for that, right?

Why would I hate you?

Because I'm the daughter of Jung Ga.

But you went independent.

So you're on your own.

Right?

Give me your hand.

Byung-soo and Young-taek

submitted their resignation letters.

They might go to Jung Ga.

We aren't getting any orders from the app anymore.

I don't think we'll be able to receive money for the food ingredients.

We need to pay for the employees too.

What should we do?

How much budget do we have left?

The money which each of our delivery men paid

adds up to 38.1 million won.

No, don't touch that.

If we exclude that, we have about 40 million won left

from the invested fund.

Then use it to give the members their paycheck.

Pay Sung-jae, Byung-soo and Young-taek as well.

Pay for the insurance with it too.

Then we'll have no investment left.

Not even a single penny.

What's next?

What will you do after then?

What did you talk about?

Just...

About fund?

I know briefly about it.

There will be nothing left if you pay for the labor cost this month, right?

No.

-Then I'll invest in it. -What?

Keep it a secret from Kang-soo. Make up a story

like you got a help from your hometown or something.

-Dan-ah. -No.

I won't let you do that.

Kang-soo.

Go, Min-chan. Pretend you didn't hear any of this.

Okay.

What are you doing?

You worked so hard for that money.

What?

I'm investing it like you did.

Take it.

Why can't you take it? I want to invest in you.

-I can't. -Then what will you do?

Tell me.

You won't give up like this, will you?

Have this.

It's for your sore throat.

Give me the trash.

I might change companies.

-To where? -Somewhere bigger.

It pays me better

and it's way more stable.

What about Strongest Deliveryman?

I heard it's going through a hard time.

Can you leave at a time like this?

Then don't go.

If you think you'll regret it, just choose not to do it from the beginning.

That's how I am right now.

I abandoned my pride to earn money

and I struggle every night because of it.

It's like I wasted 300 million won

to earn only 3 million won.

He'll get over it and run again.

Is there any way?

I don't know.

But I know he'll get over it. He's the Kang-soo after all.

He can pull this off.

What if he can't?

Then what will you do?

Will you leave again?

No.

I won't.

You have a CCTV installed in here, right? Can I take a look?

She's worried about you.

Why did you do that to my dad?

I'll fight until the end. I'll make sure she gets punished.

You're a hero to me.
