[JINTA Architect]

Hey, let me join.

I'm not fixing it.

You have to fix it, Chan.

But I'm not going to.

Chan, you have to.

This is your project.

Chan, listen to me.

Why are you being so unreasonable?

You're being self-centered again.

Revising a design for Feng Shui?

Who is this master anyway?

What right does he have to ruin my work?

What about my aesthetics?

You know the client believes in Feng Shui.

I know.

But I'm not fixing it.

You have to fix it.

I won't.

Are you two going to argue much longer?

Aokbab.

So, let me get this straight.

The client already okayed the design...

but a Feng Shui master said it had bad energy.

So now the client wants to change the interior design...

based on his advice.

But Chan refuses to fix it...

because it ruins the look. Correct?

Yes.

That damn Feng Shui master is ruining my work.

But if you don't fix it, it won't get approved.

The deadline is getting close.

I wouldn't call this a revision.

This is a complete do-over.

There's no way I can make your deadline.

We're in the same boat here.

You...

Can you two stop biting each other's heads off?

I can't think.

Chan.

Try changing the living room's color scheme.

Is that hard?

It's not hard, but I think...

Just do it.

Why don't you give it a try?

Didn't the client say they want to enhance the water element?

Try changing the living room's color scheme to light or dark blue.

- Ugh, that's not... - Chan.

Alright, I'll show you.

There, something like this.

Can I see the garden area?

Can we try moving these trees?

And putting a fountain here instead?

- We could, but I think it's... - Don't argue.

And add 9 koi fish.

- Does it have to be 9? - Yup.

Okay, send it like this.

Show the client a rough draft.

Tell them we've made the enhancements.

The living room is now a blue tone...

to boost the water element.

The pond in the north also adds to the water element.

Plus, we've included 9 auspicious koi fish.

Do you think they'll be okay with this?

If they are...

we can work on the details.

Ask for an extension.

That way, Chan can't complain about the deadline.

And Pad, you won't lose the client. Okay?

Well? Is it okay or not?

- Okay. - Totally okay.

Damn, Aokbab is brilliant.

Hey, I think it's okay.

It's beautiful.

One moment, please.

The client just messaged. The Feng Shui master is okay with it.

We can proceed. And we got an extension.

So, what's the deal with you?

You just got back. Why didn't you go home and rest?

Why did you come to the office?

If I hadn't come...

you two would probably still be at each other's throats.

What kind of company owner are you?

Your management is terrible.

Yeah, Pad, you're the worst.

You too, Chan.

Your indie attitude needs a limit.

I know you could have fixed it, but you just wouldn't.

You were just being lazy, weren't you?

And if I hear you two arguing again...

I'm going back to Japan.

Hey, calm down.

We still need your help.

So, how long will you be staying to help with the company?

Until the company is no longer a total disaster...

that you two have created.

I don't want our mother's company...

to go bankrupt on our watch.

If you feel that way...

you should just stay and help us permanently.

Pad can't handle it anymore.

You're the real problem. Don't make me...

You're much worse than me.

You're the problem...

If you two don't stop arguing...

I'm going to stab you with this fork.

Let me make myself perfectly clear.

I am here...

only to temporarily manage Mom's company.

Once everything is better and the company is out of this crisis,

I'm going back to Japan.

Then come help with the design work.

I know how talented you are.

Yes.

And you know I stopped drawing a long time ago.

Hey, where are you going?

To the restroom. Wanna come?

I thought she was going back to Japan.

You're the real problem.

[Mind - Pattarasaya Pitiworakul] [Co-Founder]

When it comes to leading architectural firms today,

Mind Space is a name that has risen very quickly.

And today, our show has the opportunity...

to speak with a passionate, new-generation architect.

In the world of architecture,

she's considered something of a rare find.

Let's meet her now.

The origin of Mind Space?

Well, Mind Space...

didn't start with just me.

I have to thank Mr. Thee, who is my senior,

and also the partner who helped establish this company.

I see.

It's incredible. From a small company...

that started with just two people...

in less than 10 years,

Mind Space is now...

one of the most renowned names...

in residential design in the country.

So, Ms. Mind, do you think...

you have achieved success yet?

I'd rather say the company is growing well.

The word "success"...

feels very limiting to me.

I want to keep developing my work...

for all of Mind Space's clients.

Amazing.

Is this a promote?

Hey, are you okay?

Rin.

Come help me with the delivery orders.

Okay.

Whoa.

The picture you drew got this many likes?

That's a lot.

Hey.

Go get a real job, Rin.

How many years did you study architecture?

So many people have reached out to you with job offers.

Why end up selling coffee with me?

I just haven't found a company that feels right.

And recently, a famous company contacted me,

but I just turned them down.

And you have the nerve to be proud of it.

Go on.

Make yourself useful for once.

Go pick up the pastries from the next alley for me.

Tell them we'll settle the bill at the end of the month.

Making me run errands again.

Or would you rather not get paid for it?

Let's go.

Hello. What can I get for you?

I'll take two of these, please.

And an Americano to go.

To go?

Takeaway.

Okay.

That will be 290 baht in total.

Done.

Please wait a moment.

Here you are.

Thank you.

Uh, excuse me.

Has this shop been open long?

About five years.

And during those five years, have there been any modifications...

or extensions made to the building?

No, I don't think so.

It's been like this for as long as I've been here.

Judging by the cracks,

it's likely caused by foundation settlement.

You should have the structure inspected...

before it gets more dangerous.

The load-bearing structures...

should be reinforced immediately.

From what I can see, the wooden beam is starting to sag.

You should add steel or wooden supports...

to strengthen the beam.

Also, when I walked into the shop earlier,

the AC didn't feel very cool.

You should check the AC's BTU.

It's probably not powerful enough.

And have a technician seal the gaps in the wood panels.

That should stop the cool air from escaping.

That might help as well.

And if you ever want to renovate the shop,

my contact info is on my IG.

Feel free to reach out.

I'm happy to give a free consultation.

Are you trying to hustle me for a job, lady?

Lady?

Who are you referring to? Me?

Yeah, you.

You're the only "lady" standing here.

And trying to sell your services like this?

It's not going to work.

I'm not trying to sell anything.

Then what do you call it?

Just walking in and rattling on and on...

and then handing out your company's IG?

- I was just offer some advice... - Don't make excuses.

If you're going to renovate a building...

without getting the owner's permission first,

that's illegal.

Did you know that?

My pastries, please.

Are you an architect?

You seem to know a lot.

I could see you were trying to sell your services from a mile away.

I told you, I wasn't.

Hey, watch your mouth.

Show some respect for your elders.

When you can't win, you play the age card.

And do you know something?

Do you know how I got to be this old?

Because I'm not a smart-mouth like you.

That's how I've lived so long.

A mouth like that...

says a lot about your character.

Who the hell parks like this?

What are you doing, lady? Stealing a car?

Is this your scooter?

Yeah.

What were you thinking, parking like this?

I was using my brain. Why?

Move it. I need to get out.

Hey, where are my keys?

Oops, there are so many of them.

Which one could it be?

Oh, I forgot.

I forgot I don't need one.

It's a new model. Not old like you, lady.

[JINTA Architect]

Hey, little sis, have a seat.

I've set up the room for you.

What's wrong?

What happened to you?

Calm down.

What did you buy?

Is it dessert?

Have some sugar, it'll freshen you up.

You bought a cake?

How were you carrying this?

Why is it so smashed up?

Just take it away. I'm so annoyed.

Take it away.

Okay, okay. I'll eat it myself.

Ms. Aokbab.

Here is the company's financial summary you asked for.

Give it to me.

The accounting stuff is not urgent.

Don't make me repeat myself.

[Profit/Loss Summary] [Net Loss: 23,545,625]

[Profit/Loss Summary] [Net Loss: 23,545,625]

[Profit/Loss Summary]

[Profit/Loss Summary]

What is this?

Uh, I'll get back to work now.

Yeah, yeah, let's get back to work.

Mr. Charnnarong.

Do you have an explanation for this?

Well...

Recently...

our company has had...

several projects cancelled.

And...

the company that's been snatching our projects...

is Mind Space.

Their method is...

they'll bid whatever it takes to undercut everyone else...

to steal the clients.

If I try to compete with their prices,

there's no way we can survive.

Because with the prices they offer clients,

there's no way to finish the job.

Even if we could, we'll be taking a huge loss.

So I refused.

A problem this big...

Why are you only telling me this now?

I'm sorry.

We messed up.

This is why we had to ask you to come back and help.

Because you're our last hope.

What?

Go.

What's wrong with you?

You look so grumpy.

I met this old lady today.

She was so irritating.

Do architects have no ethics these days?

I really hate those bossy, talkative old people.

Hey, calm down, Rin.

Prim, you should have seen her. That lady was unbelievable.

You would have been so mad.

I hope I never see her again.

Hey!

Rin!

Why is the cake all smashed up like this?

I told you to carry it carefully.

I'm docking your pay.

It wasn't my fault.

Still won't admit you're wrong?

We can't sell this to customers now.

Eat it yourself.

[JINTA Architect]

Alright, everyone.

I'd like to formally introduce my younger sister.

This is Aokbab.

From now on, Aokbab will be helping manage our company.

I'm Aokbab.

It's nice to meet you all.

Shall we get started?

Crap.

What is it, Tertis?

Ms. Prae sent a message.

She wants to cancel our contract.

What?

No way.

Call Ms. Prae back. Right now.

Okay, okay.

She's not picking up.

Did...

Did Ms. Prae say...

why she's cancelling?

No, nothing. Just that one message.

But there's something else to be concerned about.

What is it?

Well...

We've already sent the first plan draft to Ms. Prae.

Hey.

Why did you send the plan first?

Don't you know they can just finish it themselves?

I'm sorry.

Everyone, let's calm down.

I'll call and talk to Ms. Prae myself.

There must be some misunderstanding.

What are you waiting for?

It's obvious she's trying to bail on us.

It's better to talk to her in person.

Shouldn't we make an appointment? When is she free?

She needs to be free right now.

You, come with me.

Hey, wait. You're going yourself?

Didn't you ask me to come back and solve problems?

I've already made my decision.

I want to cancel.

Ms. Prae, is there a problem with something?

Because at first, it seemed like you...

were very pleased with our work.

I was.

But now, I'm not.

Actually, if there's any part of our work you're not satisfied with,

we can provide another revised draft for you...

at no additional charge.

You should go, Ms. Aokbab.

I'll settle the remaining payment as soon as possible.

May I ask for the real reason?

Did another company...

offer you a better price than us, Ms. Prae?

[Ms. Mind, Mind Space]

[Ms. Mind, Mind Space]

I hope we'll have the chance to work together again in the future.

Hey, Thee.

What's the situation with the new hire you're sending to help my team?

So I can brief my team properly.

At first, I was aiming for a kid named Rin,

the award-winning one.

But she refused to work with us.

So I got someone else.

But this person is okay too.

I'll have HR send you their resume.

Why?

Was the salary not high enough?

No.

She just said she didn't want to work with Mind Space.

A rookie dared to reject us?

Forget it. It's just one person.

Remember this, Mind.

If you want to grow,

don't waste your time on just one person.

And if you want something,

take the whole company.

Can you stop buying other companies?

We can barely manage what we have.

We have so much work already.

We don't have that many people to manage it.

If we start losing money,

we're all going to be exhausted.

Hey, don't worry.

I can handle it.

I'll make Mind Space a national name.

Trust me.

[Profit/Loss Summary] [Net Loss: 23,545,625]

I forgot I don't need one.

It's a new model.

Not old like you, lady.

It's all because of that damn brat.

[JINTA Architect]

Okay, everyone's here.

I've called this meeting today...

because I have good news and bad news.

Let's start with the good news.

Mr. Rain and Ms. Mink,

the famous high-society couple...

Mr. Rain and Ms. Mink...

want to renovate their vacation home.

The bad news is...

we have to win the pitch against other firms.

Only then will we get this project.

Even though it's a small project,

just renovating one house,

everyone must remember that Mr. Rain and Ms. Mink...

are well-known public figures.

They have a lot of connections.

This means if we get this project,

our company has a chance to get many jobs from them in the long run.

So who will be the lead on this project?

I was planning to have Yong take care of it.

I don't think I can handle it.

Anyone else?

Is this all the architects we have?

Actually, I've already posted job openings.

But no one has applied yet.

I have a close friend.

She's so good that our classmates called her 'Master Rin'.

In class, she was always in competitions.

She swept up awards every year.

She's getting famous on IG right now.

I think I've seen her before.

I really like her work.

What do you think?

Tertis,

could you contact her for us?

Yes.

But...

there's one thing I have to tell you first.

Thee, are you really asking me to oversee a single-house renovation?

There are so many other major projects.

Can't a smaller team handle this?

It's not just any house.

It's Mr. Rain's house.

That's why I want you to be in charge.

Which other companies are pitching for this job?

This is so damn annoying.

Mr. Rain also invited JINTA.

I really hate that bastard Pad.

And his weirdo brother.

Anyway, Mind,

I'm leaving this project in your hands.

As for the pitching day,

we'll decide later if you'll go or not.

Got it.

I heard that Pad brought his younger sister...

back to help at the company.

How did you know?

Vee told me.

So I did some digging.

It seems his sister flew back from Japan...

specifically to help with the company.

In that case,

I'll go to the pitch myself.

I'm counting on you.

Here's your drink, customer.

You took your time.

You're lucky I brought it to you at all.

Tip me.

Thank you.

It's sour. Is this spoiled?

Then don't eat it.

Sushi from near the university.

Your favorite place.

Bringing me an offering like this...

What do you want? Spit it out.

Okay, I'll be direct.

As someone who's been your friend since freshman year...

please let me finish before you freak out.

Still tastes amazing.

Fine. Go ahead.

Right now,

my company is looking for a new architect.

Your skills are god-tier...

and you happen to have the exact qualifications we're looking for.

I want to invite you to work with us. Interested?

You know...

that I don't want to join any company.

Rin.

Let me ask you seriously.

Why won't you get a job?

You're so talented.

Why keep all that skill to yourself?

I just haven't found a company I like.

You might like my company.

Come on.

At least give it a chance.

Just talk to my boss first, can you?

How about this?

For the sake of our friendship since freshman year...

The Pritt glue, the Nitto tape,

the foam board,

the steel ruler you borrowed from me...

and never replaced...

See how much money I lost?

I never asked for it back.

And all the sushi you stole from me for four years...

I never asked for that back either.

Fine, I'll do it.

You said it.

Don't you dare take it back.

But I'm only agreeing to talk.

I'm not promising I'll join the company.

That's up to you.

My boss graduated from Japan, you know.

Now that's a little more interesting.

What day are you free?

I'll set up a meeting at the office for you.

Who said I was coming to your office?

Huh?

If not at the office,

how are you going to talk to my boss?

Rin...

You want me to go to her?

Yes.

If they want me,

they have to come to me.

If you really want to hire her,

Ms. Aokbab has to go see her in person.

Only then will she agree to talk.

Is this how people work in Thailand?

This is ridiculous.

The employee makes the employer come to them.

But we're the ones who want to hire her, right, Aokbab?

It wouldn't be that strange to go see her.

Just go and try.

I did some research.

Mr. Rain follows 'Master Rin' on Instagram.

That means Mr. Rain...

is a fan of Master Rin's work.

If we can get this kid to work with us,

it means our chances of winning will increase.

But if you won't do it for me,

do it for the numbers in our bank account.

Red.

Red.

Red.

Red.

Alright, alright!

I'll go.

Okay, I'll send you the location.

Aren't you coming with me?

Rin said the boss has to come alone.

Also, I bought you some pastries from Rin's shop.

Excuse me.

You, I'm not playing. Please let me through.

Hey! What's your problem?

Let go.

Let go.

Let go!

What is wrong with you?

Hey, you!

You, are you okay?

You!

Rin!

Rin!

How do I open this?

Where is it?

Rin! Rin!

How are you? Are you feeling better?

Lady. What are you doing here?

Rin! Address her properly.

Please forgive my sister's behavior.

Prim, why are you apologizing?

This lady clearly attacked me.

It's more like you did it to yourself.

Who's the one acting weird,

standing in the sun in a hot costume?

If she hadn't helped you,

you'd be in the hospital by now.

What are you here for?

I'm Tertis's boss.

Then you can leave.

I'm not talking.

We need to talk.

Sit.

I'll go get some water for you.

The reason I came here today...

is because I want to recruit you to work for our company,

at JINTA Architect.

Give me a reason.

Why?

Our company...

particularly admires your style and your work.

We see that you have potential...

and would be a perfect fit for one of our projects.

So you're saying...

I'm talented, right?

Let's just say you have what our company needs.

In that case,

lady, try praising me first.

Say that I'm talented.

If you don't say it...

you can just leave.

Fine.

As a fellow architect,

I admit that you are skilled.

Are you satisfied now?

Satisfied.

Very satisfying.

But...

I'm not going to work for your company, lady.

Honestly?

Every company that's approached me is the same.

Including yours.

Our JINTA Architect is not like the others.

How is it different?

What makes it so special?

Did you add an egg or something?

It's true.

Our company might not be more special than others.

It's just one small company.

Our company grew...

from my mother's love for design.

Even though my mother has passed away,

we are trying to carry on her legacy.

We always strive to do our best work.

Our company works like a family.

I promise you,

that I will be fair to all our employees.

Including you, if you agree to work with us.

What do you think?

Are you interested in working with us?

I am interested.

Let's go.

Lady.

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

What you just said...

it was really good.

I really liked it.

The way you talked about your company.

But I would never work with you.

Go sell your dream to someone else.

Bye-bye.

This bag is expensive!

You little brat.

[JINTA Architect]

Look at this.

This is getting weird.

How did it go?

What do they think I am? Made of stone?

They keep asking to hold. For what?!

Don't tell me there's more bad news.

It's the client.

Another one just called to put their project on hold.

But what about you?

How did your talk with Master Rin go?

Don't say that kid's name again.

Oh. Why?

Ms. Aokbab.

How did it go?

It is what it is.

Tertis.

What now?

Is there any way...

to make your friend change her mind?

Well...

Rin is a big foodie.

Last time, I had to bring her a food offering.

That's the only reason she agreed to talk.

How about this?

Why don't you try taking her out for a nice meal?

She might soften up.

She lives for food.

So now I have to take that brat out for a meal?

For what?

For our company.

Just keep this in mind.

Mr. Rain likes Master Rin's work.

If we get her,

our company will be saved.

Didn't you say it yourself?

That you came back to manage the company?

This is management.

You have to fight for it.

Just remember: for the company.

For the company, for the company.

We absolutely have to get her?

Isn't there a better option?

Yes.

For the company.

Fine.

I'll do it for Mom's company.

But as soon as this job is done,

I'm going back to Japan.

Hey!

Prim, let's eat. I'm hungry.

Lady, what are you doing here again?

Let's go eat.

I know a really delicious restaurant.

Not going.

Prim already made dinner for me.

Oops, it's all spilled. No dinner for you now.

You'll have to find something to eat on your own.

What are you doing?

Let's go. I'm sure you'll like it.

Not going.

Not eating.

Not hungry.

Hey, don't think I'm going to cook for you.

I'm tired and sleepy.

I'm about to close the shop.

You're totally forcing my hand.

So, are you going or not?

Fine, I'll go.

But, absolutely no talking about work.

- Got it? - Deal.

Where are you going?

To get my bag.

Please take care of Rin for me.

Hey.

Why aren't you getting out?

Aren't you hungry?

Hurry up, I'm about to lock the car.

We're here. Come on in.

Ah, welcome.

Please wait a moment.

Ahh.

Hello.

Please take care of us.

Thank you for the great service.

It's our pleasure.

Is this the lady who you said likes Japanese food?

Yes, she is.

Then please have a seat right here.

Please.

Okay.

You speak Japanese quite well.

Here you are. Fried tofu in broth,

sashimi,

and salmon roe sushi,

and eel sushi.

Yes.

Please, enjoy your meal.

- I'll enjoy having this. - I'll enjoy having this.

Why are you copying me?

You're the one who's copying me.

Do you know what the heart of Japanese cuisine is?

What?

Simplicity.

There's no need for excessive seasoning.

It focuses on highlighting the flavor of the ingredients.

So we get to taste their true essence.

Makes sense, since you graduated from Japan.

Of course.

So, how did you know?

That I like Japanese food?

Hey.

Ms. Aokbab?

Is Rin at the shop right now?

Yes, she is. Is something wrong?

I'd like to invite her out for a dinner.

And I was hoping to discuss work with her again.

Then, I'll help you, Ms. Aokbab.

Thank you so much.

Ms. Prim,

Actually,

I've been meaning to ask you since this afternoon.

Did you design this shop yourself?

It's very lovely.

I didn't expect to find a shop like this around here.

It wasn't me.

Rin was the one who designed it.

At first, she wanted a Japanese style.

Because she's really into Japanese things.

But I prefer a Cottage style.

She was very accommodating.

So we agreed that,

she would do the drafting herself.

And she supervised almost all of the construction.

And another thing,

she tried to design everything,

exactly as I wanted.

Here you go. Please.

It's very delicious.

No.

Try saying it again.

Slowly.

It's very delicious.

It's very delicious.

It's very delicious.

It's very...

It's very...

It's very...

It's very...

It's very delicious.

It's very delicious.

Stop it, lady. Are you messing with me?

I said it right the first time.

I said it right.

Thank you.

You could speak Thai and didn't say so.

This is plum wine.

My wife brewed it herself.

This...

is a complimentary treat for our special customers.

One glass each.

Thank you.

About my offer...

will you reconsider it?

I really do like your work.

I thought we weren't going to talk about work.

Please think about it.

I'll be waiting for your answer.

How about this, lady?

Let's have a competition.

What kind of competition?

Finish this entire jar of plum wine.

If you can hold your liquor...

I might consider working for you.

But if you lose, it's over.

You're on.

Can I buy this whole jar?

Okay!

The wine's all gone.

What now?

If it's gone, order more.

Chef!

Bring us the strongest liquor in the house!

Right away!

A legend is born!

Cheers!

Next up is sake!

Cheers!

How about this?

Whoever can stand up straight...

is the winner.

Deal.

On the count of three,

whoever can stand up straight...

wins.

One...

Two...

Three!

Look.

So weak.

Why did you kick me?

Lady, what are you doing?

And how did I get here?

Whose clothes are these?

They're my clothes.

Why are you wearing them?

How should I know?

What happened?

Is it possible to fall in love by a drawing?

You're the one who should thank me.

Otherwise, you would've been sleeping on the street.

Regarding the offer you asked about,

I have an answer now.

I'll work with you.

We still need Rin's help, Aokbab.

Try to be nice to her.

Fine, whatever.

Ms. Aokbab,

Mr. Rain's secretary wants to meet with you urgently.

Make yourselves comfortable.

We're just waiting for one more team.

Hello, Mr. Rain, Ms. Mink.

I think we'll be meeting a lot more after this.
