(Episode 1)

Whenever I ride with you, Ji Hyuk, it becomes a race against myself.

We ride for the endorphin boost.

Can't you ride right before me?

The trail is flat from here on. We can ride together.

Hello, Lee Ji Hyuk speaking.

Mr. Lee, I need you to come in right now.

- There's an issue. - What is it?

What did Oh Jae Jin do?

I'm an hour and a half out. Okay.

What will take an hour and a half?

Half an hour to my car, an hour to the office.

It's our 300th day today.

- Our 300th day? - I booked a 1-night stay...

at the Ritz Hotel including dinner.

I meant for it to be a surprise.

That's against our rule.

We agreed not to celebrate anniversaries.

I planned it because I wanted to.

Say you can't come in.

Say you're on Jeju Island.

An important client's involved,

and it's my team's issue.

If you leave now, we're done.

Work aside, I can't have dinner with you today.

I have plans with my siblings.

Something you planned with siblings you live with...

is more important than our 300th-day anniversary?

It is.

I scheduled this with them first, and we don't do anniversaries.

Even though I made the reservation?

You shouldn't have.

Ji Hyuk.

You still don't plan to marry me, do you?

I don't plan to marry anyone.

Sorry!

(Gogossing)

Sorry! My bad!

What the heck is this? Why am I out here?

I'm really sorry!

(KF Company)

Mr. Lee. What will you do about this?

A container full of stone tiles measuring 120cm by 60cm...

just arrived at Incheon Port.

The exterior work starts in two days.

Oh Jae Jin.

You knew we'd changed some of the exterior tiles.

When you asked me to confirm the order,

a third of the tiles were to be 120cm by 40cm.

I gave you the revised plan that said we'd cut off 20cm.

Haneul Construction kept delaying,

which meant we couldn't put in the order for materials on time.

So you forgot?

Yes. Completely.

I warned you many times.

Twice is a mistake, but the third time...

means you're incompetent.

Yes. I remember that.

How much longer must I put up with this?

Not for much longer.

I'll see what I can do.

Why bother?

No plant can cut the tiles in time. They're backed up.

I even called the second factory in Changwon.

You think I didn't even check?

I'm not going to a stone processing factory.

Where are you going, then?

I'll tell you later.

He's so cold and stiff.

Isn't he?

Stone tiles aren't like tofu.

You can't cut them with a box cutter...

Yes. I heard you.

- What I meant was... - Oh Jae Jin.

Get me Haneul Construction's work schedule.

It's on our team's...

I know it's on the server. I want a hard copy.

On A4 paper.

Print it out on an A4 sheet.

This time, make sure it's done right.

Okay?

I told you clearly and many times before confirming the floor plan...

that an exposed ceiling works best with retro interior.

And you clearly said no.

Did I say I didn't say no?

I changed my mind, Ms. Ji.

Then push back the opening to April.

I'll figure out the rest.

That's a no.

I sent out the invitations to the opening,

and I posted...

about the opening event on social media.

Things might have been different if you'd told me yesterday.

We're scheduled to work on the floor on Monday,

and the schedule's packed after that.

Do I have to open a cafe with an interior I don't like?

Then...

how about using paint that looks like exposed concrete?

I can find...

That won't work.

It won't look as natural as actual concrete.

I'm left with no choice.

We must keep things as they are.

You give up too easily for someone so young.

I'm 30 years old.

And you think too little of design and construction work.

I decided to give a new company some work,

and the lack of experience shows.

Ma'am. There's no need to be rude.

If you won't fix it,

I won't wire the second payment.

Is that why you didn't pay me yesterday?

When the payment was four days late?

What do you say?

I have to halt work on the project.

- Until you wire the second payment. - What?

You will also have to pay...

the increased fees due to...

the delay caused by refusing to pay on time.

If you stop working now,

I'll hire another company to finish the job,

then sue you...

for compensation for refusing to meet the deadline.

Go ahead.

I'll post about you on all the forums.

I'll mention your company, Eunoism.

Go ahead.

The meeting schedule, floor plan revision schedule,

payment schedule, detailed invoice,

and detailed work schedule. I gave you copies of them all.

Oh, and I had to turn down...

another project to take on yours.

You must compensate me for that too.

Ms. Ji.

You shouldn't take everything I said at face value.

Then what? Should I tremble at your every threat?

My goodness. When did I threaten you?

I regret my decision so much.

Ms. Ji.

CEO Ji. I thought that if I riled you up,

you'd take care of it somehow.

You worked so hard on this.

Is that so?

I'll forget about...

the exposed concrete ceiling.

- And? - What?

You must have more to say.

For being rude?

I blurted that out in frustration and anger.

So what?

I'm sorry.

Shall I stick to the schedule...

and resume the work on Monday?

Yes.

If you wire the second payment that's already late,

I'll resume the work.

My gosh.

I thought she was quiet, naive, and easy to handle.

She's tough.

And she has a temper too.

(Cafe Agit, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Closed Every Wednesday)

Hi, Eun Oh.

You're filling in today. Thanks.

Sure.

Did you talk it out with the client?

Yes.

She threatened to sue, so I said to go ahead.

And she backed down?

People are so weird.

They cross the line if you play nice.

Lots of people are like that.

They grovel to the powerful and stomp on the powerless.

What can I get you?

(Incoming call: Ggang Oh)

Hi, little brother.

You're not here yet? It's a Saturday.

I can't come over every Saturday.

Don't you know I have an interior project?

You're not at the site on weekends.

It depends.

I can't come today. I have lots to do.

Good for you, working and not making a thing.

Help me out here, Ggang Oh.

You're my dear brother.

Whatever, weirdo.

(Damga Charcoal Grill)

Don't talk like that to your sister.

I'm dead tired.

You're what?

Hello, welcome. Come this way.

- You, come inside. - Fine.

(Mini bar, work clothes)

(Calling: Paint Chief)

The person is not answering.

Transferring to voicemail after the beep.

Sir.

This is my third call.

I'm calling to apologize, not to ask a favor.

About the work on Sunday, I'm sorry.

I apologize.

Have a nice day tomorrow.

My gosh. You always end up with those worthless customers.

When will our poor Eun Oh ever get to open the hanok studio?

Oh, right. Did Ji Hyuk find a place to stay?

Seriously, I want to try drawing your brain structure.

How could you think of Ji Hyuk while talking about hanok?

Ji Hyuk also likes hanok.

Hey.

When will you stop being such a fool?

I mean, you can't even tell him about your feelings.

Why are you saying that when you know everything?

How can I tell him about my feelings when he has a girlfriend?

My point. Why do you even have feelings for such a flirt?

Hey. He's not a flirt.

He has never had a break from dating since he got a job.

If that's not a flirt, what is?

He's never dated multiple women at the same time.

It's just that he keeps dating women.

Anyway, he never stops dating.

What if he marries his girlfriend?

He won't get married.

How can you be so sure?

Because Ji Hyuk wants to stay single?

Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand,

so I'm not going to tell you.

There's something about him that only I know.

Do you want us to work all night for three days?

As for the glass, we can meet the required quantity...

if we work all night for just three days.

My gosh, you make it sound so easy.

Do you want me to work with you?

I can work without a single minute of rest.

Once the glass is ready,

we can change the process accordingly.

When you desperately said you'd wait at the factory,

I knew something was ominous.

We will do it only for three days.

I can't ask the workers to work more than that.

With your supervision, three days should be more than enough.

You know how to flatter me.

You know that's true.

Thank you.

I'm really grateful.

I'm not doing this because you insist.

I owe you big-time,

but you didn't use it to get your way. That's why.

I forgot all about it.

Come on!

I know you have a lot of pride.

But when your subordinate makes a mistake,

he should take care of it.

Jae Jin has made a lot of mistakes...

on the team,

so I'm afraid he might get fired after this.

Even if he gets fired, that's not your business.

Why do you even care? That doesn't sound like you.

I know.

Am I being lenient with him because he's so foolish?

If we work on the stone tiles while attaching the panels,

we can meet the deadline.

If we work all night for three days.

If things go like that, it should be fine.

That's impressive, Mr. Lee Ji Hyuk.

Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you.

I should thank you for moving on...

without any complaints.

From now on, I'll make sure...

to take care of everything about Haneul Construction.

I won't leave it to anyone else.

You should buy me a meal.

And some drinks too.

Sure.

By the way, the aftereffects seem severe.

You look like you've lost weight, and your face looks haggard.

It's because of the war against my dad.

War? I thought you broke up.

You said he left.

Isn't the war over?

He's trying to confirm things.

That's what my dad does.

Like a solid concrete structure.

Explain it in a language I can understand.

You don't have to know.

The war won't end unless one of us dies.

I don't want to know.

Just looking at your face, I can tell it's complicated.

Have you not changed your mind yet?

Do you still want to enjoy your own life?

Yes.

Good for you.

I'm jealous that you can control your feelings.

You're so sure that you won't fall in love.

You are confident that you won't love anyone to death.

You are determined to live only for yourself.

I'm jealous you can do all that.

My heart belongs to me, so I should be able to control it.

I think you can do that once you put your mind to it.

Once you realize that no feelings or relationships last forever.

- You mean, Ji Hyuk? - Yes.

Well, I don't think he wants to get married yet.

You know, young people these days want to get married late.

When I ask him about it,

he just says, "Okay. I get it. No."

That's what young people these days do.

It's not like marriage is something you can do alone.

I just hope he will get married in about 2 or 3 years.

He got his employment extended as an advisor,

so he's different indeed.

What are you talking about?

We're just jealous.

People try to get their kids married off before they retire.

That's true.

A wedding ceremony costs a lot of money,

which is why mutual help is needed.

It's not just about money.

When Myeong Su's daughter got married two years ago,

he had to hire part-timers as wedding guests.

Why would you bring that up?

After three years of quitting my job,

I had no one to invite.

Hey, I'm really afraid...

that I'd be unemployed...

when my children get married.

Our former director, Lee,

has obtained 15 certificates,

but still hasn't found a job.

You're right. Just drink.

You should stop drinking.

Thanks.

Hey, you know what? That's the case...

for the retirees who majored in liberal arts.

That's why I'm trying to be a welder.

Once I get the certificate,

I'll be able to get a job.

Children are always the problem.

They're a problem when you raise them,

and they're still a problem even after you retire.

That's enough.

You're gathered to celebrate my retirement today.

Why are you complaining about your lives?

It's just too hard.

We can only complain to a friend with an easy life like you.

Aren't I right?

- Sure. - Okay. Just talk to me.

Complain to a friend with an easy life like me.

Yes. You're the luckiest one here, Sang Cheol.

You worked until your retirement age.

That's not it. You were recruited before your retirement.

You will be an advisor...

until your youngest son gets married.

I'm so jealous.

- All right. Let's drink. - Let's drink.

- All right. - To Advisor Lee Sang Cheol.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Let's see. - What?

Ji Hyuk.

Hey, Ji Hyuk.

I told you about the situation. It was an emergency.

Did you guys talk about it?

Ji Wan wants to prepare...

congratulatory rice cakes for the neighbors.

Hey, retirement isn't always something to celebrate.

If it's not something to celebrate, why are we throwing a party?

It's not a party. It's an event.

Dad has worked hard for 33 years.

I don't know what the difference is.

What will be the gift?

We can't decide that without you.

We need you.

Any idea?

Aside from clothes and shoes, I can't think of anything else.

I'll be in charge of the event.

I will blow up balloons...

and make banners.

So you guys can decide on the gifts and pay for them.

I'm basically a job seeker now.

Let's just give him cash.

But that would seem too insincere.

It will look insincere if you don't pay a lot.

- What? - Stop laughing.

Why?

So that's what it's like when you don't have a job.

What? My gosh.

Ji Wan, send me the money in two days.

Su Bin, you will take care of the event.

- Okay. - I will.

What? Why?

- It's Dad. - What?

Smile.

Dad!

Why are you looking at us like that? You look scary.

You guys look very suspicious.

What were you guys doing without your mom and dad?

You look drunk, Dad.

Look at you. You're trying to change the subject.

You're even more suspicious.

I ran into Su Bin on the bus.

And I met Ji Wan on my way here.

I was excited to see them, so I asked them to have some tea.

Okay. That's nice.

Let's go home.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- Let's go home. - Let's go.

My goodness.

With two tall guys walking ahead of me,

I feel so safe.

- What did you do? - What?

Were you at Mr. Yeong Bo's restaurant?

Yes. My friends from college wanted to get together...

to celebrate my retirement,

so I had a drink with them after a long time.

Are your friends retiring this year?

Except for Mr. Yeong Bo?

What are you talking about?

I'm the only one who has worked...

until retirement age.

Also, I'm the only one...

who got a new job in the same industry...

right before retirement.

You're the best, Dad!

- You're the best! - You're the best!

Hey, Lee Ji Hyuk, my eldest son. Why are you being quiet?

You're drunk.

Thank you, Dad.

For getting a new job and making us feel reassured.

Sure. You must feel reassured.

- Dad, did you drink a lot? - What?

No, I only had a little.

We're home.

- We're home. - We're home.

How is everyone coming home at once?

Where's Mother?

She already went to bed.

Honey.

I caught these three hanging out...

in a cafe by themselves, leaving us out.

Dad, come on.

We already told you that we ran into each other on our way home.

Mom, we were just as surprised and chose to go to a cafe.

I see.

Anyway, why weren't you asleep?

I wanted to talk to your brother,

but he's been hard to catch lately.

Head inside without us.

- Sure. Let's head inside. - Let's go.

- Come on. - Let's wash up and go to bed.

Mom, what's this about?

- Aunt Gyeong Ran... - Stop right there.

Come on.

I've told you about 100 times that I'm not interested...

in the dates you set up.

She's 29.

She's 165cm tall, teaches middle school,

and loves playing tennis.

She has one older brother and isn't religious.

She saw your photo and was quite impressed.

Is there more?

She's the niece of Aunt Gyeong Ran's husband...

and is a looker.

Are you done?

Thanks for killing my excitement.

You seem to have girlfriends,

but why is there no talk of marriage?

There's probably a good reason I haven't settled down yet.

Then, when will you tie the knot?

Mother, marriage isn't a necessity these days.

Don't you have any friends who are getting married?

Not even Seong Jae, Ju Hyeong, Ji Tae, or Sang Ho?

None so far.

I'll head inside, then. Gosh, I'm tired.

Ji Hyuk, wait.

There's a right time for everything, you know.

My gosh.

Goodness.

I bet the work is killing you.

No way. Sir!

What on earth? What are you doing here?

How are you here?

I didn't think you'd come.

I knew you'd be at this by yourself.

Seriously.

I felt uneasy while eating breakfast today...

and got this odd feeling.

Our minds must've been in sync.

I made you feel that way.

"Please make him feel as uncomfortable as possible."

When will you stop being so headstrong?

The client gave up on the idea, but I felt bad.

She clearly wants this.

Wasn't she the one who insisted that we paint the ceiling white?

Tell me about it. It's ridiculous.

You're way worse.

How can you even think to work on this alone?

You're an interior designer, not a general contractor.

Still, I've picked up a thing or two from watching you guys.

You never admit you're wrong, do you?

Stop that and head home. I don't want to see you here.

If you keep acting like this,

I might get indigestion from how moved I am.

Get going already.

All right.

Thank you, sir.

You're the first of all my friends from elementary school...

through college to get married.

He's my third. Two were colleagues,

and one was a doctor friend from high school.

Do I have to say...

how many of my friends got married too?

Getting married is tough these days, but I've finally done it.

Congratulations, Ju Hyeong.

I'm proud of you.

Didn't you say...

you couldn't get married for another 2 to 3 years?

We kept arguing nonstop,

so I eventually turned to my dad for help.

We barely managed to cover the yearly deposit...

on an apartment with our savings and a loan.

I'm a bad son getting married on my parents' retirement savings.

You think you're a bad son? Even thinking that is a luxury.

Your parents would've wanted to help out.

Don't feel too guilty about it.

Park Seong Jae.

- Hush. - Zip it.

The conglomerate heir...

should maintain a poker face and only nod.

You live in a world completely different from ours.

Meanwhile, Ji Hyuk is the one I envy the most.

He can afford to get married but chooses not to.

He's doing well for himself now because he's still young,

but what about when he gets older?

Ji Hyuk, will you still be surfing well past your 60s?

What about mountain biking?

I wonder if the ladies...

will still be lining up for him then.

Come on.

Hey, Ju Hyeong. You think getting married means you've won.

Who are you to put me down?

There's plenty you can still do, even in old age.

I can ride bikes, swim, trek,

camp, and travel.

One day, I hope to use my severance pay...

to travel on a cruise ship.

Unbelievable. Nothing seems to rattle him.

Ji Tae,

you're an only child, right?

Will you have to care for your parents by yourself?

That shouldn't happen.

These days, parents and children need to be self-reliant.

When my father gave me 100,000 dollars,

he said he was getting a reverse mortgage...

and not to ask for a penny more.

Either you die alone or sink together...

when something big hits your family.

As expected, Ju Hyeong is the first to get married.

How can he date the same person for five years?

Because he loves her.

For five whole years? That's attachment, not love.

He should've ended it like you before he grew attached,

right?

It's odd.

Before starting a relationship with anyone, you make it clear...

you have no intention of marrying.

So why do all your exes end up wanting to marry you...

after a while?

They must be possessive.

Don't tell me you already have another girl lined up to date.

Sit tight this time around.

Why?

You'll see.

Anti-climactic, don't you think?

Haven't your parents mentioned marriage to you?

They won't accept you not getting married.

Don't I know it.

They'll want me to marry and have at least two kids.

Why do parents see marriage as obvious...

and children as the next step?

By the way, when are you going to break the news to your parents?

Once I find a place.

(Selling fan heater)

(Are you available today?)

Su Jeong!

I just heard back about the fan heater.

The seller will bring it here.

It's new and has only been used three times.

Do you really believe it's only been used three times?

Even so, I doubt it's seen heavy use.

I'll be right back.

(Electric fan heater)

Hello.

- Are you Giggle Giggle? - What?

That's Eun Oh.

She's buying a used item again.

Can I have my 30 dollars?

Right.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Darn it.

Hey!

- Watch out! - What the...

I'm sorry.

Ji Hyuk, hey.

Darn it.

- Hey! - Darn it.

Stop right there, you jerk!

Give me back my 30 dollars!

Stop right there!

Darn it.

Hey, come on. Darn it.

- I caught you. - Move!

No way. Over my dead body.

Ji Hyuk, how are you here?

How much did he take?

Thirty dollars.

Thirty dollars? Come on.

I'm really sorry.

Darn you.

What do you want to do with him?

What should I do?

Do you want to call the cops or get your money back?

I'm sorry. It was only a joke.

Give me my money back!

I'll give your money back and get you a fan heater...

In fact, I'll buy you the latest model.

He offered a fan heater of the newest model.

You'll give me 30 dollars back...

and get me a new fan heater?

What do you say?

- I call that a deal. - Right?

(Police Substation)

Unbelievable. How dare he try to scam me?

Okay!

I bet this feels great.

Of course. Apparently, he has done this before.

Darn jerk.

Eun Oh, this wasn't a first for you either.

What do you mean?

You've trusted people too easily before.

You're right. In that sense, I'm a repeat offender.

The world is a troubled place now.

It's common not to trust people anymore. Right?

Are you kidding me?

It was stupid of you to chase after him...

in that dingy neighborhood.

I guess you were worried about me.

You'd have been fuming if the big guy...

had really managed to hit you.

Either way, I wasn't hit, he was caught,

and I realized you cared about me.

What a good day this is.

Unbelievable. She's happy after putting herself in danger.

- Would you like a coupon? - Sure.

- Can you clean that table? - Sure.

That's what happened.

- I see. - Goodness.

- It was another used item scam. - And she fell for it.

Was she able to turn him in to the police?

Yes, but...

Ji Hyuk went running to where the scammer was headed,

so I don't get how they ended up catching him together.

- Over there. - They're here.

- You're here. - Hey.

You're right on time.

Ji Hyuk, how did you know to go after Eun Oh like that?

She was already getting played when I saw her at the intersection.

I could smell something was up.

I bet she fell for the guy's lies.

By the way, why were you buying a fan heater in this weather?

What fan heater?

No way. How have you been?

- Salute! - Hello.

Good. You may rest.

- Sure thing. - Thank you.

When Eun Oh checked out the place...

we were going to remodel,

the draft was as bad as it could get.

There are times when Eun Oh catches even the smallest details.

By the way, are you staying for the meeting as well?

I believe seniority means I don't have to.

Are you here as the landlady, then?

To see how well the cafe is doing?

Hey, I'm renting out this space as a form of sponsorship,

not to make money.

I'm busy counting all the zeroes...

from the designs I've sold.

Here are some cookies...

for you to enjoy during the meeting.

- Seo Yeon Su! - Seo Yeon Su!

Rest, boys.

- Sure. - We'll rest.

Goodness, it's our honorary member.

Thank you for your generous donation.

There's no need to thank me. Please let me know if I can help.

He's the best.

Get to it, then. I'm heading upstairs.

- Sure. Thanks for this. - Have a good day!

This honorary member will get going as well.

Good luck to you all.

- Thank you. - Bye.

All right. Let's start the briefing.

- Sure. - Sure thing.

- Jun Yeong, go ahead. - Got it.

A grandpa in his 70s,

an eighth grader, Hye Yeong,

her brother Dong Su in sixth grade,

and their 45-year-old uncle are sharing one room.

Thankfully, there's space here...

to give Hye Yeong her own room.

Other than that, we just need...

to get new bathroom tiles,

repaint the window frames,

refilm the kitchen countertop,

and handle basic flooring and wallpapering.

That's a lot of work.

No wonder Eun Oh half-threatened us into helping out.

She knows what needs to be done.

We had to redo the wiring while dividing the space.

So Ye Gang, work your magic.

Okay.

Oh, this is the most important task.

We need to find a used door for the new room.

Let me do that to make up for not being around for a year.

- Nice. - That's unexpected.

I highly appreciate it, Ji Hun.

Sure thing.

Please review your tasks on the file that was handed out.

- Sure. - Got it.

How do I look? Is my tie okay?

I bet this is upsetting.

This is a strange feeling, but it's hardly upsetting.

It's not like I'm retiring from the work scene for good.

I'll soon be working at Mr. Choi's.

You're hoping to buy time with the tie.

"You're keeping me from leaving the house."

"Tie, you need to be fixed."

Unbelievable. Da Jeong, we've been together for too long.

I'll get going.

- Here. - Can you carry it for me?

Here he comes.

- Dad! - What? Hey.

What...

No way.

This was my idea.

We're seeing you off on your last day at the office.

Am I even allowed this kind of luxury?

And go!

- Have a good day at work. - Have a good day at work.

Right, thanks. I feel like I can do anything now.

And me.

Have a good day at work, honey.

And me.

Goodness.

Sang Cheol,

have a good day today.

Of course, Mother. I'll get going.

Honey, I'll get going.

Children, your dad is off to work.

Go, Dad!

Go, Father!

- Have a good day. - Have a good day.

- Dad, have a good day. - Sure.

- Bye! - Father.

Da Jeong, what are we buying today?

We'll make galbi, japchae,

assorted jeons, and seaweed soup with mussels.

He loves mussels.

We'll make some with mussel extract.

Let's also make stuffed and steamed Washington clams...

as well as udon with jjajang.

Rockfish kimchi too.

What?

I can pay for the ingredients.

The feast will be on me today, Da Jeong.

Here.

But this money...

You and Sang Cheol gave it to me to spend,

so I can't say it's entirely on me.

Mother, that's not it.

How were you able to save this much when we hardly gave you anything?

My son has held a job for 33 years...

and has covered my meals for more than 20.

If only he had been born...

to richer parents.

You probably want to treat him to a meal...

to celebrate his retirement.

Exactly.

Let's do that, then. It'll be your treat.

However,

you should pay for it yourself.

Sounds good. Let's go.

Carry on.

- Do you see that there? - Yes, sir.

Remember to check that.

(Management Team: Executive Manager Lee Sang Cheol)

Even on his final day, he's working like normal.

For Mr. Lee, it's not really retirement.

How so?

Didn't you hear?

He got a job as an advisor.

- Really? - Yes.

For 33 years,

I served as part of the mosaic here...

in a supporting role,

believing my work was essential...

to this company.

But on my final day at work,

I have the chance to share my words as the main character of a story.

For the past 33 years,

even without being told,

I lived a life where the company came before anything else.

That's why,

despite many proud and rewarding moments,

I feel empty inside.

But I guess that's life.

I'm like a flame...

that suddenly turned to ashes after burning passionately,

thinking this day would never come,

even though I knew it would.

My junior colleagues,

I'm sorry I wasn't able to be a better mentor.

To my senior colleagues,

who likely left the company before me,

thank you all.

I now leave Gyeongseong T and C...

as my time here has come to an end.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you for letting me work until it was time for me to retire.

Goodbye.

(Gyeongseong T and C)

(Employee ID Card, Management Team, Lee Sang Cheol)

What a beautiful fall from grace.

Dad!

Congratulations on retiring!

- Yes. - Congratulations.

Yes, thanks.

Father. You've been through a lot.

Applause.

Congratulations.

Mr. Lee.

- Congratulations. - Hi, there.

You had a good career.

Park Seong Jae.

Your dinner will be extra tasty today.

Ms. Jo, are you well?

Yes, I am.

- Hello, Ms. Kim. - Hi.

Is Mr. Kim not home?

My father?

He went to his hometown to celebrate a relative's 90th birthday.

Oh, did he?

- Let's go inside. - Okay.

Let's go eat.

- Here we go. - Watch your step.

Hey.

What did you cook, Mom and Grandma?

- Yes. - All sorts of stuff.

Sorry for keeping you waiting.

My gosh. What is all this?

This is what it's like to set out so much food the table could break.

I see stuffed and steamed Washington clams...

and mussel extract.

Sang Cheol, sit down first.

Noodles get soggy in no time.

Yes, right.

My goodness.

The hometown food you love so much...

- was all prepared by Mother. - Okay.

Here, your udon with jjajang.

Nice, udon with jjajang. All right.

Let me see.

It tastes just like what I used to have.

Thank you.

- Please, eat. - Okay.

- Dig in. - Let's eat.

- Thanks for the food. - Sure.

- Father. - Yes?

You should make a speech.

What for?

I go back to work in two months.

Still, you reached retirement age.

Say something.

Should I?

Then...

I'm sorry for everything. Thank you for everything.

Do help me in the future. The end.

You too, Mother.

Sure.

My goodness.

How is it that simple?

And why would you ask for help?

Well,

I was busy with work and this and that,

and I feel bad that I wasn't there for a lot of things.

I'm grateful you all grew up well despite that.

From now on,

I only have to look after your mom and grandma.

I'd like you three to live your own lives...

responsibly and happily.

You, Ji Wan.

I hope you find a job and stick with it.

And you, Su Bin.

You want to be a successful content creator?

I hear that field is pretty competitive.

I hope you do the best you can.

And you, Ji Hyuk.

Spend less time on your hobbies...

and save up to get married.

- Understood? - Yes.

Okay.

- Mr. Lee. - Yes?

What about me?

Why would I worry about you?

You're a smart kid from a rich family.

I'm worried.

He needs to lower his standards and find a girl.

Seong Jae. Why don't you date?

I don't know.

Yes, that's right.

You guys are 33 years old.

You should prepare to marry.

Su Bin, you're too young yet.

When Ji Hyuk and Ji Wan get married,

I can give you each about 70,000 to 80,000 dollars.

Keep that in mind.

You have money to give us?

You said you checked your finances when you bought this house.

Don't you need the severance pay to pay off the mortgage?

Yes. You need to save up for your retirement too.

You don't have to worry about me.

I plan to marry a rich guy.

You're extra naive for a 24-year-old.

Don't you worry about us.

I'm going to be an advisor at Seoil Textiles.

I just have to work ten more years,

and I can retire for good.

I have my national pension too.

That's right.

Your grandpa won't need any more money,

and I won't ever fall ill.

Grandma. That's not under your control.

Your birth and death.

Those are the two things humans can't control.

Do you think Grandpa wanted to fall ill?

You got extra stupid in the year I didn't see you.

You can't tell what not to say?

Ji Wan and Su Bin are right.

We'll take care of ourselves from now on.

You two should take things easy.

You too, Grandma.

It's not that I don't trust you.

I want to help you out as any father would.

Ji Hyuk, you'll be married within a year or two.

Oh, right.

I forgot my present.

- Mr. Lee. - What?

It's a travel pass to Europe.

You can visit three countries for up to one month.

Call the number there once you decide where to go.

I can visit Europe for a whole month?

My gosh. Seong Jae.

You arranged a surprise to steal our thunder?

You can't do that.

Your gift is better than ours.

It's fine.

If you total the cost of the food he's eaten here since middle school,

it would be way more than that.

I got a great deal from a business partner.

We prepared...

some cash.

Spend it on what you need.

Eating with the family is more than enough.

You got me cash too?

You should save up to spend on yourselves.

For you, Grandma.

- And for you, Mother. - My gosh.

You both played a huge role in helping Father work for so long.

My word. Ji Hyuk.

Ji Hyuk.

Put this toward your wedding expenses.

I don't need money.

Grandma. Everyone needs money.

This is why you need lots of money.

You can't look cool without it.

Yes. But Ji Hyuk betrayed us.

You gave Mom and Grandma cash without telling us.

He's the eldest after all.

The eldest always knows best.

I could wish for nothing more...

if you would just give me a great-grandchild.

Stop it, Grandma.

- Shall we? - Let's eat.

My gosh.

Oh, dear.

Turn off the alarm,

or don't sit up.

You don't have to go to work anymore.

Right.

Yes.

Goodness.

Oh, dear.

It's great not to have to worry about running into Father.

My heart.

Let's see.

(Calling: My love Hong Mi)

- What? - Hey.

It's Lee Ji Wan's wake-up service.

Did you sleep well, sweetie?

- Yes, thanks. - Later today...

The money Father will give me to get married...

The last rep.

That's it. Well done.

Mr. Lee? Can I have a word?

Excuse me.

So,

your weekday mornings are open.

- Yes. - We got you a client.

Okay.

A middle-aged lady.

I told you not to schedule any female clients.

I don't train women.

She point-blank requested you,

so I have no choice.

If you don't cooperate,

the boss will chew me out.

- I'm serious. - She requested me?

Instructor Lee!

Mr. Lee.

I didn't know you moved to a different gym.

You know me, right?

I was your student at Honghong Swimming Pool.

I'm Ha Yeong Hui.

Honghong.

Honghong.

This is driving me nuts.

This isn't so bad.

(10:59 a.m., April 1, Tuesday)

My gosh.

Time is really dragging.

(The perfect man you've been looking for)

(You will meet him now.)

(Love and You)

(Love and You)

Your parents own a home but haven't paid off their mortgage.

That's too bad.

Ms. Lee Su Bin, you actually don't have...

any money saved or a job.

What do you mean I don't have a job?

I run my own YouTube channel.

You have only 13,000 subscribers.

You barely make any money.

Men these days know all that.

But still,

you, Su Bin, have great strengths.

You're young, pretty, and have a great body.

I know, right? I don't really lack anything...

My YouTube channel will be successful soon.

Okay.

Do your parents know that you are here?

Gosh, no. They are quite conservative.

And I'm the one who is looking for a date.

A date?

Aren't you here to find a spouse?

I'll date, and then get married.

I'm not just looking for a rich man.

All right. Then, Ms. Su Bin,

could you tell me what qualities you want in a man?

A four-year college graduate in Seoul.

A professional or a businessman.

I mean, a man with financial ability.

His parents should be able...

to take care of themselves after retirement.

Oh, right. I want to buy a house when we get married.

And he should be 177cm or taller.

I can accept the age difference of up to 12 years.

But I don't like a man with a potbelly.

I want someone who takes good care of his looks.

He doesn't have to be handsome, but I want him to look nice.

Are you done?

So you want someone with a good educational background,

a good job, a lot of money, and a well-off family.

Moreover, he should be tall, good-looking, and fit. My gosh.

You are looking for a perfect man,

who is our VVVIP customer with five stars.

Oh, really?

Yes.

Listen, Su Bin.

Do you think such a perfect man...

with a great background would want to go out with you?

I know you are young and pretty.

But your background is just ordinary,

and you're basically unemployed.

My goodness.

(Cafe Agit)

What perfect timing.

I was on my way from the gym.

And you just came out.

It's Sunday.

What are you doing in this neighborhood?

Well...

I left some documents at the office.

If you keep doing this, I'll feel uncomfortable, Mr. Park.

You don't have to thank me like that.

You know I'm always bored.

Why is he bored when he's got everything?

I just don't understand him.

Is everyone sleeping in because it's Sunday?

Why don't you sleep some more?

All three of them went out already.

Ji Wan is on a date, Su Bin is out for a shoot,

and Ji Hyuk is doing the second quarter volunteer work...

for the Construction Volunteer Club.

He graduated from college already, and he's still doing that?

Does he like it?

He says it's fun. I guess he does it because he likes it.

Do you think Ji Hyuk still has some regrets?

I don't think that's why.

I told you it was not about architectural design.

They replace wallpaper and flooring for those in need.

During vacation, they do joint activities,

where the graduates help them with home repairs.

Yes, I know that.

It's volunteer work, so it makes him feel good...

and relieves stress.

Does it still bother you?

Gosh, no.

It's just amazing that he's still doing such difficult work.

- I'll go and wash my hands. - Okay.

What? It's Ji Hyuk.

You're right. It's Ji Hyuk.

Seong Jae.

Hi.

Hey, Park Seong Jae. What?

Seong Jae!

What are you doing?

This is fun.

Hey! Wait!

Hey!

He's fast.

Hey, stop.

- Hey, you! - My gosh.

Is it fun? Gosh, I'm so tired.

Hey, where's your car?

There's no parking here, so it's in the public parking lot.

Why did you come with Eun Oh?

He went to the gym in the morning,

and then he was headed to the office to get the documents he forgot.

Eun Oh was coming out with a lot of stuff in her hands.

There will be no team dinner. We will finish late tonight.

I know that.

Go!

Let's go.

Thank you, Mr. Park. Bye.

Give me that.

How could you get here so fast?

Me? Because I run fast.

It was an uphill road. It must've been hard.

She seems so happy.

My gosh. The mold is the worst.

Using bleach wouldn't work.

We will have to tear off all the wallpaper.

It is too moldy.

We should've called the workers.

We should let Eun Oh do it.

Eun Oh, back in college,

when you worked part-time to earn money for your tuition,

you had a lot of fun tearing off wallpaper at a construction site.

That's why you became interested in interior design.

That's ridiculous.

That's the most annoying work.

When the dirty wallpaper comes off...

and the bare wall appears, I feel great joy.

My gosh. You're weird.

Let's just spray the mold remover...

and put up new wallpaper.

We have to tear off the old wallpaper here.

It's Hye Yeong's room,

and the mold is too bad.

I'll tear it off.

Here's the scariest thing to say.

"I'll tear it off."

Hey, you guys are saying something that the older members don't know.

The thing is, Eun Oh always...

When she wants to do something, no one can stop her.

- She's unstoppable. - All right.

We don't have time. Let's start the mold removal.

Ji Hyuk, please cut the wallpaper...

for Hye Yeong's room with your team.

- Okay. - Okay. Let's begin.

- Let's do this. - Okay.

- Hey, lift me up. - Okay.

All right.

Where's Seong Jae?

He went out at 5 a.m.

What?

Mi Yeon saw him when she just woke up and came out.

Where did he go so early in the morning?

He didn't tell me anything.

He went out in a tracksuit.

I guess he went to work out.

Have a seat.

Don't even think of calling Seong Jae.

Okay?

- Good morning, Dad. - Hey.

Your mom sees right through me.

Let's eat.

Hang on.

Has it been a week since we ate together, Yeong Ra?

Are you sure you're not working too hard?

I'm fine.

Yeong Ra.

Why don't we eat out together for lunch today?

I have to go to the studio today.

On Sunday?

Tell her to rest today.

It's not like I don't want her to rest.

But a painter who's having a solo exhibition...

has no time to rest.

She should stay focused.

Oh, dear.

Seong Jae, you're home.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I woke up early, so I went out for a drive.

I see.

You've been up since early morning, so you must be hungry.

Have a seat.

- I'll get Seong Jae his soup. - Yes, ma'am.

Seong Jae doesn't like clams, so I'll do it.

Thank you.

So you woke up early without getting enough sleep.

Did you have a lot on your mind because of the project proposal?

Not exactly.

Yeong Ra,

how's your solo exhibition coming along? I bet it's tiring.

I simply paint according to the instructions.

The preparation is actually wearing Mom out.

Seong Jae, I'm nervous to say the least.

Your father might be used to it,

but backing her solo exhibition is taking a toll on me.

Meanwhile, you're being trained to run the company,

which I hear is hard work.

I'll enjoy.

Sure.

I'm always watching.

What the heck?

This too.

- Hold on. - Wait.

- It's heavy! Out of my way. - Move.

Come on. Are you kidding me?

That can go.

- Hui Dong. - Yes?

Are you done with the wiring in the kitchen?

Jun Sang probably did that.

Jun Sang?

- What? - Did you get it done?

We need to hurry.

- Over here too. - Here?

That's it.

Okay, that looks good.

Sure.

I'm checking if it's leveled.

Ms. Ji.

We're following the floor plan to the last millimeter.

Check this.

- Perfect, isn't it? - Totally.

(Hye Yeong's Room)

- Good job, everyone. - Yes!

- Well done. - Nice.

- Everything looks great. - Good job.

- Great work, guys. - It's so pretty.

Is there a hardware store nearby?

What now?

Hye Na, look for a hardware store.

What's wrong?

A girl in eighth grade needs a lock on her door.

How do you even know that?

I have a younger sister,

and she mostly keeps her door locked.

She also throws a fit if someone doesn't knock.

I doubt any hardware store is open at this hour.

Just give up.

- He's right. - Exactly. We'll fix that next time.

Sure. I'll get her a new doorknob on the weekend.

Ji Eun Oh may have a bag like Mary Poppins,

but I doubt it contains a doorknob.

They don't call me Mary Poppins for no reason.

- You have a doorknob of all things? - No way.

- As if. - Don't be ridiculous.

- There's no way. - Who carries around a doorknob?

- You're scaring me. - All right.

- Here. - She has a doorknob!

- Is this for real? - No way.

- Unbelievable. - There's no way.

Here you go.

That was left...

from the recent job I did fixing a cafe.

No way.

Let me take a look at her bag.

She actually had a doorknob?

Are you kidding me?

Ms. Ji, I'm impressed.

Are we too excited?

(Let Hye Yeong's new room be filled with luck.)

(Let Hye Yeong's new room be filled with luck.)

I love it.

It could get stuffy without a window.

I still love it.

And...

Here you go. These are keys to your door.

You're a young lady now that you're in eighth grade,

so lock your door.

No one enters without your permission.

This is touching.

Let's applaud, guys.

Hye Yeong, have a good life.

- We wish you the best. - Have a great life.

Enjoy your new home.

Hye Yeong, have a good life.

Enjoy your life.

- Call us if you need anything. - Yes, call us.

Try to get some sleep.

Just don't snore.

I'm fine.

Your eyes are bloodshot.

Why won't you close your eyes when you can easily take catnaps?

You dozing off would be disastrous,

so I need to watch you.

Have I ever fallen asleep behind the wheel?

You're with the same girl for longer this time.

Why do you call her a girl?

You don't know how old she is.

What else should I call your girlfriend?

Ms. Girlfriend?

Just call her my girlfriend.

Why have you been with her for so long?

Hasn't it been almost a year now?

At this rate, you'll be reminding me of my anniversary.

It's wrong to date someone for so long...

if you don't plan to marry.

Mind your own business,

and get some sleep.

It's kind of my business.

- Sir. - Yes?

What should we get for lunch?

(Radiant Homes Realtor)

We'll have that.

What are the other options?

This is Lee Ji Hyuk.

Is there a unit for me?

There are still a few days left on the lease,

but the previous tenant moved out early...

to care for their mother.

This is the best unit I've seen so far.

I'll take it.

That's a wise choice.

I'll contact the landlord and set up a meeting.

Sure.

(Overseas Travel Package Plan)

I want to visit every spot from "Roman Holiday,"

see Sagrada Familia in Barcelona,

and as for Paris...

Do you remember that movie?

The bridge from "The Lovers on the Bridge."

Also, Ethan Hawke was a dream in "Before Sunrise."

I've been wanting to see Vienna too.

You're right. When we were young,

we dreamed of European cities from the movies we watched.

Pick one country you want to visit,

and I'll choose the other two.

No way. This trip will be entirely up to you.

- Go wherever you want. - What?

I'm home.

What?

It's not like our eldest to get home from work on time.

Hey.

- I'm home. - Sure.

That's odd.

Ji Wan and Su Bin just got home as well.

Grandma has been eating her meals and going to bed early.

It's not even that late.

That's how it gets with old age.

Your grandma is 88.

I have something to tell you.

I'm moving out.

What do you mean you're moving out?

As you can tell, I'll be living on my own.

Ji Hyuk.

What nonsense is this?

Why would you move out when you'll be getting married soon?

I don't plan on getting married.

What do you mean you have no plans to marry?

What do you mean by that, Ji Hyuk?

Like I said,

I don't intend to marry anyone.

Hold on. You're not planning to marry?

Isn't there someone you like?

There isn't.

(Value of Hangyeol)

(2016)

I won't fall in love with anyone either.

I found her.

You did?

That's why I'm telling you I'm moving out.

(Our Golden Days)

The second you move out,

you won't be able to save up any money.

Ji Hyuk, does that mean I can get married first?

What do you mean it's advanced pancreatic cancer?

Ji Hyuk, did you hear the news?

What will happen to Dad?

Are you telling me to date a man who's 17 years older than me?

Ji Eun Oh's been crushing on Lee Ji Hyuk for a long time.

I wonder how that can benefit me.

What the... What are you doing here?

You told me to come.

I have feelings for you, Ji Hyuk.
