Original subtitles

I missed you.

I kept thinking about you.

I didn't know why.

But...

I think I know for sure now.

Stop it.

Let me go.

Listen.

I can't control myself when I'm drunk.

I hit on anyone and I get very offensive.

I talk bullshit and do all kinds of crazy stuff.

So forget about what I told you yesterday.

That was bullshit. I didn't mean anything.

-Dan-ah. -I'm going to leave this country.

You're leaving?

Right, I'm going to emigrate.

I'll get on a flight in exactly 230 days.

So don't get the wrong idea.

I have no intention of dating anyone.

Understand?

Do you understand?

Answer me.

Get to work.

Stay on your toes.

It's over once you get swayed by him.

I won't forget this.

I'll destroy him.

What are you doing here?

You'll hurt your neck.

-You'll hurt your eyes, too. -Goodness.

Why do you eat food like that every day?

Come and eat ox-bone stew at least.

Stay out of it.

Whether I have gimbap or dirt, it's none of your business.

If you talk like that,

you're a bad kid.

-What was that? I just lost my appetite. -What?

Remember what you promised me?

You promised that you'd be nice to me if I helped your mister get released.

You said you'd tell me you love me.

-Don't you remember? -Forget it.

I will never do that, so put him back in or do whatever you'd like.

-What? -Put him back in.

He'll learn his lesson only if he stays in there longer.

Why are you...

Your mister didn't come to see you, did he?

I guess I'm right. But forgive him.

He has so many friends.

He must finally be free after spending time with his friends all night long.

Who are you defending?

Did you become a saint or something?

I'm a saint. Didn't you know?

I support forgiveness, harmony,

peace,

-and love. -Are you crazy?

Yes, I'm crazy.

This town is making me

go insane, seriously.

It turns me into a bad guy and then a nice guy.

It makes me feel bad and then good.

Bad and good

Enjoy your food. I don't know what I'm talking about.

I'll see you again.

Peace.

What the heck?

What happened to him?

Where have you been?

-I went out to smoke. -Quit smoking.

You should never reek of cigarettes when you serve customers.

Yes, ma'am.

-Have a seat. -Okay.

I had a meeting with the management team and we decided to open

the rest of our restaurants all at once.

-All at once? -Yes.

This building itself will be the food alley in this neighborhood.

The current restaurants will be taken out like Hanyang Ox-Bone Stew.

Then you'll be promoted from your branch manager position

to a general director.

Isn't that too soon?

It'll be a swift promotion.

The other branch managers and employees will complain a lot about it.

So you should show them at least one outcome.

-Like what? -Before Hanyang goes out of business,

make sure your restaurant gets good sales results.

Make more profit than other franchisees.

That way,

I can have a say to the other branch managers and employees.

You can do it, right?

-Here, tangsuyuk. -All right.

QUICK DELIVERY SERVICE

-Put it back on. -What?

-Put it back on my shoulder. -What?

Well...

-What? -Don't ever touch me again.

I only tried to remove your hair...

Whether it's my hair or a poisonous spider, I'll take care of it myself.

-Got that? -Okay.

PALPAL NOODLES

Goodness.

-What's wrong with her? -That's how girls are.

Their hearts flutter while they flirt with the other.

Once they find out about each other's feelings,

they suddenly become hesitant. They like him and but also hate him.

They want to hug him so much

but then they want to stab him.

Those cutie-pies.

They make it so obvious that they've never dated someone.

I'm not sure about Ji-yun,

but isn't it impressive of him to make the delivery woman fall for him?

Indeed.

That's impressive indeed.

It's like taming a wild horse.

I really want to be like him.

-Hello. -Hello.

Aren't you hot?

Do you want some ice cream?

Why would you say hi to me unlike yourselves? Is it because of the heat?

We'll greet you every time we see you from now on.

We treat people with loyalty if they're even slightly

connected with Kang-soo.

-Lunatics. -Dan-ah.

I'll muster up my courage and ask you a question.

Please answer this for us, poor singles.

What is it?

Which part about Kang-soo do you like so much?

-What? -We really want to learn from him.

Is it his looks? Is appearance important to you as well?

You don't have to be so shy.

Love

isn't a shame.

He's crazy.

Wherever you are, you get to shout out for love if you're in love.

It was so nice to see you

worry about him last time.

So what?

Go ahead and tell us.

I'd like to learn from him too.

What is his fatal charm?

Okay.

I'll tell you nicely.

Come closer.

Someone, help us.

-Why would you get knocked down too? -Help us.

Call 911.

I expected she'd hit somewhere else.

What?

Stop making noise and eat quietly.

It's disgusting.

-What did I do? -Eat quietly.

Right, Dan-ah says it's noisy.

That's not it. She...

I told you not to make noise.

I only had a strand.

Just stop eating.

I'll give you money. Go eat outside.

What?

PALPAL NOODLES

Dry the spoons and put them in the container. Fill the napkins too.

It's dusty, so clean every corner of the restaurant, okay?

I'll check tomorrow morning.

Why aren't you answering?

Okay, I'll stay overnight.

Okay, I'll get changed

and clean up the place.

What are you doing here?

Can't you see?

I'm waiting for you.

There were people downstairs. How did you get in here?

-Through the window. -What?

Hey, that's dangerous.

Look at you pretending to be worried.

What do you mean? Watch what you say.

If you care for me that much, how could you

not come to see me when it's been 36 hours since you got released?

Well... That's...

Do you realize how much I waited for you yesterday?

I wore cute clothes and applied a full makeup.

I waited all night long. Even, I sat down straight

because I was worried the back of my clothes might get wrinkles.

Sorry.

Forget it.

It's over between us.

Thanks for the good memories.

Good luck with everything.

Watch out for water in summer and fire in winter.

Watch your back while walking at night. Goodbye.

Hey.

-I'm sorry. -Let go.

I'm really sorry. I apologize.

You always apologize after doing something wrong.

I'm sorry. I was really busy.

What did you do with whom that you were so busy?

What do you mean, doing something with someone? I just...

What is that? It wasn't there when I came last time.

What?

Well, it's nothing.

You're flustered.

What is it?

-Hey. -Let me see.

-This... -Well...

-Let me explain. -No.

You don't have to.

You really didn't have to buy this for me.

No, that's not it.

Then what?

Are you going to say, "It's not yours"?

You're so naive.

Well...

Thank you, Mister.

I didn't know any of this and got mad at you. Sorry.

Goodness, I'm such a fool.

Well, that's...

I'll go.

I think I'll get more emotional if I stay longer.

Goodness.

Goodnight.

What?

Hey, Ji-yun.

Ji-yun!

Ji-yun, hear me out. Ji-yun.

It's okay.

I'll stop here for today.

Mister, let's

take care of each other and take things slowly.

Goodnight, Mister.

Ji-yun!

My goodness.

Are you done greeting everyone now?

Jin-gyu?

Shall we have a drink?

Here.

Wait, no.

Try this.

-What? -Is it okay?

It's good.

You're good at cooking.

-Let me. -What?

Thanks for helping me get released.

I didn't do it for your sake. It was for my sake.

I didn't want to feel guilty after putting an innocent punk

in prison.

You have a conscience, but why did you behave like that?

Why couldn't you apologize?

If you had apologized, both of us wouldn't have gone to the detention center.

Let's stop talking about that.

It's not too late.

Hyun-soo is still at a hospital in this town.

He's getting rehab treatment.

Kang-soo.

Why are you taking it so far?

You never know when to stop.

Let's stop talking about it.

Let's forget it all and start afresh.

It's for your sake.

You'll feel at ease if you do that.

Don't you think so?

-Try it. -Forget it.

Do it.

I know you aren't that bad.

Hold on.

Hey.

-Where are you going? -It's okay.

I'm

awake now.

I see.

Well...

Do you need anything?

No.

Well...

I didn't do it on purpose.

I didn't know it'd happen.

I understand. No one could've known.

And it was my fault

that I got into that accident.

I see.

Everything's fine now, right?

Yes.

I've got to go.

No, you don't have to see me off.

Take care of yourself.

Goodbye.

Well...

I...

I'm sorry.

Goodness.

That was really awkward and embarrassing.

Good job.

Get your hand off me. Stop acting like you're older than me.

-What? I just think you're cute. -Cute?

Seriously.

Okay, let's go now. I need to clean up the restaurant.

Why would you clean it up at this hour?

-It's her order. -She was so worried about you

and now, she's disciplining you?

I guess that makes her feel at ease.

-What are you talking about? -You don't need to know.

Hey.

I know it's inappropriate to say this now,

but let me take care of Dan-ah from now on.

I'll take responsibility for her.

What responsibility?

Everything.

I'll support her dream first.

You know she's preparing to emigrate?

Yes, I heard.

I'll support that first.

I'll support everything for her until she settles down there.

Even more than that if she wants.

-Why? -Just...

Just because I want to.

It's my dream to make her dream come true.

So...

I hope you get your hands off this.

Let the capable person support her.

It's the best for her. Don't you agree?

Do as you please.

But don't tell me what to do.

Why?

Why are you resisting?

Tell me. What is it?

You know what Dan-ah's dream is

but I know how Dan-ah feels.

I don't understand what you're talking about.

I know you do.

Do what you want to do.

I'll do what I want to do.

Rest is up to Dan-ah. We have no right to decide.

I'll go. Bye.

I missed you.

I kept thinking about you.

I didn't know why.

But I think I know for sure now.

Why do I keep going back to that thought?

Please.

Stop that shit, will you?

I didn't do anything.

If you keep this,

I'll call my dad to come up.

Why would you bring him up all of a sudden?

It's because you're not coming to your senses.

You still remember

the pain of all your joints getting torn, right?

-The special training from hell. -Stop it.

It's not because of him.

-Hello? -It's just

that I'm stressed out recently.

I see you're even lying now.

This is worrisome.

This suits me perfectly.

He must've checked my size beforehand too.

So this is how you feel

to be loved by someone.

Goodness.

Gosh, honey.

Why took you so long to call me?

Don't you know the manners?

Please go outside and talk on the phone.

Please be careful with your burping.

It's not like you only have your digestive system to brag about.

Do you live in unit six?

-Yes? -Can we have a minute?

STUDENT RESIDENCE

Are you aware that you grind your teeth in your sleep?

-Me? -Yes.

I heard it once

and it was awful.

You did it all night long.

I wonder if your jaw stays intact.

A lot of the residents are suffering.

They're trying so hard to sleep before you do.

I'm sorry,

-but if you could move out... -What?

Another student residence down there has nice soundproofing rooms.

They have toilets in each room. I recommend that place.

-How much is its monthly rental? -It's 450,000 won.

That's not going to work out. I earn 800,000 won a month.

Paying 350,000 won is tough as is.

Still, move out. We can have a sound sleep without you.

Thank you.

Then just move out. What's there to think?

It's because I have no money.

I only have 120,000 won in my possession.

I found that money in my bag by accident.

Then sell your bag.

-What? -He's right.

I saw you come and go and all your clothes were from expensive brands.

You might be able to sell them at a high price.

Can you sell used items?

Haven't you done that before?

No.

I thought it was only for cars.

You seem busy talking.

Don't chat away during your working hours.

-Okay. -Okay.

I'm sorry.

Gosh, it's so hot.

I'll go get changed and come down.

-Okay. -Okay.

Gosh.

Just go upstairs later.

That's not how you date someone.

A man should push ahead if a woman is confused with her feelings.

Bend your knees.

Put your hand on the wall.

Then say it like this.

"Hey, Dan-ah. Who are you to behave so cheeky?"

Hold her chin after then.

And...

Stop.

That's enough.

I won't kiss him for real.

I'm only going to show him how.

No, thanks.

-I understood it all. -No.

The angle is important.

Then do it with Mr. Jang.

-What? -Well...

Me?

What do I do?

-Like this? -Yes, turn your head to the side.

Is that right? Do I pretend like I'm shy?

-Kang-soo. -Yes?

Get me the knife.

Where's the knife?

I'll go get the bowls.

Hey, the lesson isn't over yet.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE RESTAURANT PALPAL NOODLES

We have a delivery order for two bowls of ox-bone stew.

I'll go.

TRADITIONAL CHINESE RESTAURANT PALPAL NOODLES

We demand you to vacate your store by August 28.

HANYANG OX-BONE STEW

I'm here.

I put the dishes in the basket over there.

Okay.

-Look, Kang-soo. -Yes?

You don't have to deliver food for me anymore.

-What? -Stop it here.

I'm afraid your bosses will find out.

We're being careful.

No. Let's stop it.

Then what will you do?

Well, I'll move to somewhere in a suburb.

Don't get kicked out.

You did nothing wrong.

You've never slacked off

in making your stew, so why should you get kicked out?

Kang-soo.

Don't give up because you have no money.

Otherwise, those rich people will look down on you more.

I'll see you later.

Kang-soo...

Where did that unusual kid come from?

This indicates our sales last week.

We won't be able to make a profit if Hanyang keeps delivering food.

Other Jung Ga Ox-Bone Stew franchisees

reached a net profit of ten million won in their first month.

But it was only two million won for us.

At least we avoided losing money.

Then how much do they usually earn in their second month?

They earn more than 20 million won in average.

From their third month to sixth, their profit keeps increasing.

Then they settle into a plateau.

We'll save our face if we earn more than 20 million won this month.

Is that right?

Not bad.

But the problem is Hanyang.

I've never seen a restaurant that resisted like that.

-Don't you have some kind of solution? -You're the one who should find it.

Did you enjoy your food?

It's 24,000 won.

Here. Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll get you books

about food marketing.

What? Okay, food marketing.

Do that.

It's all in English.

Isn't there anything translated into Korean?

Jin-gyu.

Hi, Dan-ah.

-Do you take classes here? -Yes.

-Why are you here? -Well...

I want to read food marketing books

but someone got me so many books written in English.

I guess you're all mature now.

You don't seem like the studying type.

Studying has nothing to do with looks.

I have a job now.

I need to improve myself to get promoted.

I see. Keep it up.

How do you feel now that Kang-soo is out?

what do you mean?

How do you feel about it?

Honestly.

Honestly?

Yes.

I want him to go back to jail.

Are you being sarcastic again?

Do you like him as much as Ji-yun does?

-What about the stationary store? -The elementary school is closed today.

Stop it, Mom. I did it all during my treatment a while ago.

Let me massage you a little more.

It's tiring for you.

The doctor said you can leave the hospital next week.

Let's go home with me.

-Home? -Yes.

I want to work in the town where my friend works.

Do you like him better than me?

That's not it.

Choose. Is it me or him?

Okay, I choose you.

What's his name by the way?

Kang-soo.

Kang-soo?

-What's his last name? -Choi.

-How old is he? -He's 25.

Is he from Seoul?

No, his hometown is near a seaside.

He said it's near the west coast.

I heard his house is located at the highest point of the town

so it has a really nice view.

Do you want to see his picture?

No.

-It's okay. -Look.

Here.

Don't you think we're like brothers?

Our names are similar too. Hyun-soo and Kang-soo.

You...

Do you want some strawberries?

-No. -Why? You like strawberries.

I'll go buy some.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Did you take the bowls delivered to unit 201 of Samho Villa?

I took them on my way to unit 301.

They're my bowls. Why would you take someone else's bowls?

Because I was on my way.

Put them back.

-What? -Put them back.

That's enough.

-What? -Why are you so worked up

like an overheated kettle?

Why you...

I said I got it.

What you said that day was out of drunkenness.

You have no intention of dating a guy, and you'll leave this country.

I get everything, so why are you so anxious?

Calm down.

Others might think you really like me.

Hello, miss.

Long time no see. My ligament is still sore because of you.

Is the owner inside?

This is delicious, sir.

You have amazing skills.

Go if you're done.

They're still not done.

Sir.

Do you know how much I looked for you?

-Why? -What do you mean?

You disappeared right after you came out of prison.

And you were out of reach for eight years.

I couldn't stay still.

I served you since I was 17.

I got my poisonous snake tattoo on my back

with you too, remember?

You thought it'd be lonely alone, so you got two of them.

And I got only one because I was fine as long as you were by my side.

Oh, dear.

I couldn't hold in.

Soon-ae.

I mean, it's hilarious.

That's what I used to say when I raised goldfish in high school.

These thugs are saying the same thing.

Oh, no. I guess these thugs are upset.

Sit down, punks.

Where do you think you are to act up?

Sit down.

You haven't changed at all.

People die when they change.

Soon-ae. Please stay outside for a moment.

You two, go out with her.

No, it's extremely hot outside.

I'll buy you ice cream.

I'll buy you shaved ice.

Gosh, I don't want to.

Why are you here?

Come back.

If I refuse?

You will have to.

What is this?

Wait, this. Which flavor is this?

Is that gochujang?

That's raspberry, sir.

I see.

Right, there's no way it's gochujang flavored.

Is he that man called Poisonous Snake?

-Yes. -You said he's vicious. What should we do?

I don't know.

Mamushi will deal with it on his own.

By the way, what's wrong with your behavior towards him?

-What? -Why are you ignoring him suddenly?

Be good to him while he's here.

There's not much time left until he leaves this place.

-What? -Didn't you know?

He works at one place only for two months. This is his last week.

He'll be gone next Monday.

-Try. -Why did you buy so many?

I wasn't sure what you'd like.

Was it for my taste

or Dan-ah's taste?

It was for both of you.

I'll be flat out honest.

I've started my business in another town

but the locals there don't seem to listen to me.

Please come

and support me. I'll give you 20 percent of the income.

You want me

to work as your manageress?

Don't be too direct.

If the Mamushi appears in the town,

things will be settled peacefully. Don't you think so?

You've grown so much.

I'm not interested. Bye.

I've prepared a gift for you as well.

The punk who ruined Soon-ae's life

with Jong-hyun Kim.

I know his whereabouts.

Where is he?

Take care of my business first.

-Where is he? -Let go of me.

My boys have knives in their pockets.

Think about our poor Soon-ae.

Think it over and contact me through him.

Then we'll be on our way.

Thanks for the food.

Let's go.

-Let's go. -Okay.

How messy.

What did he say?

Just...

Something we expected.

So?

Did you give him the expected answer?

Yes.

All right then.

Was he a gangster?

It's none of your business.

How did he meet Soon-ae?

It's none of your business.

Why are you laughing?

I'm reminded of the day when I first worked with you.

You were like this that day too.

What do you do this Sunday?

Want to go watch a movie?

Thank you.

Aren't we watching a movie?

-What about our date? -I need to sell my stuff.

I have appointments with the buyers.

Then what do I do?

Drink your coffee over there and look at me.

I'll let you have a face-to-face date today.

Your manager might catch you

while you sell your stuff here.

It's her day off today, so it's okay.

Are you here?

Yes, come in.

Clear the seat now.

Now.

Go over there.

What?

-Ji-yun. -Hi, Sparta.

It's a dust cover.

I used this only about four times. It's almost brand new.

It originally costs 1,500,000 won but I'm selling this at 800,000 won.

By the way, whom are you giving this to?

-Your girlfriend? -No, my sister.

She's a college student and I heard all college students carry expensive bags.

I don't want her to get intimidated.

You're such a nice brother.

I hope I had a brother like you.

It's nothing.

Here's the money.

Forget it. Just take the bag.

-What? -We're comrades.

Still...

It's okay.

I have items worth 20 million won left here.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, Ji-yun.

Take this dust cover too.

Thank you.

She's so nice.

You're distracting me. Eat it later.

Hey.

Are you aware that you were the only man who screamed?

I'm not afraid of anything, except for ghosts.

Are you a child?

Claw cranes. I'm really good at those.

Forget it. We'll only waste money.

No, I'm really good because I have a know-how. You want to see?

Hey!

Goodness.

Stop it now.

It's because I haven't done this for a long time.

I'll get it for sure if I get the hang of it.

You fool.

Get its head. To the right.

-Gosh. -Let's go.

You'll never succeed.

Alright. Please!

Are you satisfied now that you wasted 30,000 won just for that tiny doll?

Yes, you wouldn't take it if I bought one at a doll store.

He'll calm you down whenever you get worked up. Keep him with you.

Let's go.

Gosh, this is amazing.

She's so generous.

She'll love it for sure, right?

Of course. She'll say, "You're the best."

Do girls

love things like that?

Of course.

Being gentle is nothing compared to giving expensive bags.

If you give her an expensive bag and ask her out for drinks,

she'll go with you.

Or you'll get slapped.

Not every girl is like that.

Just leave him be so he can get beaten up.

You're so devoted, by the way.

You work your butt off to pay for her tuition. This isn't necessary.

It's so much better than losing money on bets like you.

You always say that to me.

It's because I'm worried.

Just worry about getting your own job.

You graduated from a good college, but why do you keep failing?

Do you grab the interviewers by the collar by any chance?

Right, I punch their faces, too. Why, should I punch you too?

Huh?

-Well? -Come on.

You're an educated man.

Give me that bag.

You can't do this.

We agreed on the price before we met.

I'm sorry.

I'm a student

but I really want to buy this for my girlfriend.

Please.

Okay, then I'll knock off the price.

Thank you.

Stand up. I'll do it.

Why?

Stand up.

That's not how you do business. Watch and learn.

I told you already. I can't deduct the price.

It's not going to happen.

And even if you buy this,

this won't fit your mom.

This is for slim people.

-My mom is slim. -I mean, skinny.

Yes.

She's skinny.

She went through a lot.

I'm sorry.

How much did you earn?

I earned 5,800,000 won.

I see...

What was the targeted amount?

It was 20,800,000 won.

What?

Let's see. Is there a place you can rent with a deposit of five million won?

I don't know.

Let's be positive.

We found something we have in common for the first time.

Are you happy?

No, I'm sad.

I feel like we're ugly losers.

Then go already.

Ugly losers will only look uglier if they're together.

Okay. Let's do what we're good at next time.

-What is that? -Watching a movie?

Gosh, it's annoying.

Goodnight.

This is unusual. Goodnight.

Do it once more. Goodnight.

Take them.

I'm giving you this in return.

I gave you a tiny doll though.

Return them.

-Hey. -They're yours.

It's for your new start.

I heard you're leaving soon.

Stop being so nosy and live for yourself.

Don't butt in others' business when you move to another town.

And...

Don't come to our neighborhood ever again.

Don't come to visit.

Don't stop by.

Goodbye.

Dan-ah.

How many days do you have left?

I have 226 days.

Will you be all right

until then?

Are you confident?

Stay out of it.

PALPAL NOODLES

Mr. Jang.

We came to know.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to leave like this?

HIRING NEW EMPLOYEE

Gosh, I should've taught him better.

Should I go give him an intensive lesson?

Kang-soo.

-Don't. -Why?

It'll work out if I teach him a little more.

He's too unskilled.

-Gosh. -Don't.

-Just go. -Gosh.

Go.

GANGDONG-GU

Go tell him

if you like him that much.

I can't.

Why?

I'll leave this country.

So how can I tell him my feelings?

Then get over him.

I can't do that either.

Why?

I don't know. I don't think I can get over him.

HIRING NEW EMPLOYEE

Hey.

You're here.

I thought you left.

I didn't see your bike outside.

-I sent it off for repair. -What?

I got into an accident. I fell down on my way.

-Why? -Because of you.

I kept looking back and I fell.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can go.

I never thought Dan-ah could act cute.

Kang-soo is actually a genius.

I'll leave this country even if the world falls apart.

I hate this country more and more too.

Honey, do you still have the dress I bought for you?

Who's that girl? Who on earth is that brat

who wore that dress and sided with you earlier?

That little...

What relationship does she have with Mister?

Did you borrow money from a loan shark?

I'm so mad right now.

Those who trusted me got fired.

Dan-ah will suffer too.

I think I'll destroy myself first if I can't pull this off.
