Welcome, passengers.

Thank you for riding with us again today.

Our train is departing from the wretched reality...

where the value of labor is not respected,

bound for its final destination, the Moon.

However, we cannot guarantee...

your safe arrival.

Along the way, you will face numerous hardships, trials,

and some rather cringey situations.

Nevertheless, for those of you with unrealized dreams and hopes,

we urge you to please board promptly.

The train is now departing.

I can do this.

I can get...

a permanent position.

(Honey)

Honey, did you get there okay?

Don't be nervous. You got this! You'll definitely get the position.

I love you!

(New hire and temp-to-perm interviews for Marron Confectionery)

Ms. Jung Da Hae?

- Come in. - Okay.

I see you've interned with us before.

Yes. It wasn't a standard program,

but they gave me a great opportunity,

and I spent the last year interning here at Marron Confectionery.

If we hire you,

are there any products you'd like to develop?

Marron Confectionery is very popular with consumers,

but its market share in the pie category is relatively low.

That's why I'd like to launch an original pie product.

All right, then. What is this?

Why don't you explain the key points for the Kong Kong Chip?

I believe the key marketing point is childhood nostalgia.

The first color TV ad concept won over people...

in their 30s and 40s,

and I believe it resonated strongly with them.

Do you have any final remarks?

Yes.

I am truly eager to officially join your company.

If you give me the opportunity to work here permanently...

Was she stung by a bee? Was she stung?

Are you okay? Ms. Jung?

- What should we do? - Ms. Jung?

Are you with me?

What?

Why is my face over there?

Just calm down.

Wait a minute. Is this a dream?

Or am I dead?

- Are you the Grim Reaper? - No, it's not like that.

You just passed out for a second. I'm your future self, Jung Da Hae.

What?

Me from the future?

There's no need to stare.

Sadly, the diet was a bust.

You must've eaten something really good.

But what's with your appearance?

What happened? Is there a war in the future?

Are you a refugee?

I'm not sure.

Even if so, you've got nowhere to seek refuge, right?

- What? - Whatever.

I'll get straight to the point.

You cannot join this company.

- That's why I came here. - What are you talking about?

Hey! Do you know how hard I worked to be an employee here?

If I just ace this interview today, I'll become a permanent employee.

You don't know what you're saying.

Not all permanent jobs are equal.

You're...

You're...

You're just a loner.

You'll always live like a loner.

Nothing will ever go your way, and you'll be poor year-round.

Your fate is to end up like this.

You'll be consistently miserable.

And you still want to work here?

Gosh.

Yes! I have to get this job.

If I don't get a desk job at my age, should I go be an idol star?

You think talk like that will stop me?

You're right.

Talk isn't going to cut it.

Then I'll just have to...

Just die!

What's gotten into you?

No good will come of living anyway.

End it now for a better next life.

Just die!

No! I have to get a job, even if I die.

No one shows up to a broke person's funeral.

I don't want to die!

Ms. Jung Da Hae, are you okay?

Ms. Jung, you fainted.

I... I just had this dream...

Goodness, we need to get you to a hospital.

Your eye is all swollen up from that bee sting.

No, I'm fine.

I'd like to continue the interview.

No, you really shouldn't.

I'm telling you, I'm really fine.

A bee sting won't crush my dream of getting a permanent position.

Please, believe in me. I'm confident I can do a great job.

They say desperation works miracles, don't they?

Unemployment rates are hitting a new all-time high every year.

I miraculously landed this interview.

Just give me the chance.

I'll be a dedicated Marron employee.

And then...

Miracle, my foot.

That looks so good.

Gosh, look at all the pastries.

Looks delicious.

Why is the line so long?

That looks amazing.

Why aren't you answering? Is something wrong?

I'm worried. Please text me back.

Mr. Ko. Our meeting is about to start.

It's fine. It's just up ahead.

But we only have ten minutes left.

They say this place is even better than the Gangnam branch.

We're in the sweets business, so think of this as market research.

My mouth's watering.

Come on.

We're only selling ten more today!

Sorry, everyone!

What? That should be mine.

- Go to the front! - What?

- Hey, wait a minute! - Gosh, hold on!

Stop pushing!

Wait a minute!

Wait! Gosh, my phone!

My phone! Wait, excuse me!

My phone.

Wait. No. Hey, don't step on it!

Don't step on it! No. Don't...

Darn it.

That jerk. He's got some luck.

This is great. So decadent.

We're late. Run!

Darn it.

Mr. Ko!

Come on, hurry up!

Yes, I'm coming! Why did you have to order coffee?

Coffee is important to me.

If I bomb my presentation without it,

will you take responsibility?

Why would it be my fault?

- Darn it. - "Darn it?"

Are you okay?

Yes. I'm fine.

I meant, is the laptop okay? All of our data is on here.

Seriously... Please be okay.

This better not be broken. It's fine.

Let's go. Hurry up.

Bear with it.

Wait, hold the elevator!

Thank you for waiting.

- I'm so sorry. - Hurry up!

Sorry about that.

Well...

We've to get off.

Round, you got off?

Good. Take the stairs.

What? All the way to the 14th floor? But we only have 5 minutes left!

I'll go on ahead and get set up. Now hurry.

Mr. Ko!

Darn it.

I have to suck it up. I've no choice.

My performance review is coming up.

I can't exactly kill Mr. Ko.

Hold on.

Darn it.

I'm going to kill him!

It's 10:59 a.m. and 55 seconds.

Fifty-six seconds.

Fifty-seven seconds. Fifty-eight seconds.

Fifty-nine seconds.

(Conference Room)

(Marron Confectionery)

As you can see, our new product,

My Grape Glucose, has been in the planning stage for a while,

but the launch has been delayed due to the high cost of ingredients.

Meanwhile, our competitor, Company B,

had a bestseller with grapes early on,

and they've already moved on to mango and cherry flavors.

So, after meeting with both the RnD and Marketing teams,

we decided to develop a new product using Shine Muscat grapes.

- Hold on. - Yes?

Shine Muscat?

Isn't that a Japanese variety?

It's from Japan?

What? It's from Japan?

You didn't know?

What do you mean you didn't know?

So what's your plan for dealing with sentiment...

on the ingredient's source?

A plan?

- Our plan is... - Do you have one?

A plan?

It'd certainly be nice to have one.

What? "It'd be nice to have one?"

- Well... - Right, so,

do you have this "nice-to-have" plan, or not?

Well, our plan is...

What am I going to do?

I've got nothing... What do I do?

Listen up!

Order up! One big bowl of national pride!

That's the "patriotic marketing" you've stressed, right, Mr. Cheon?

Yes, that's absolutely right.

You wanted to make a point of using domestic produce,

so you even analyzed the status of Shine Muscat grapes grown in Korea.

That's right. That's absolutely right!

In fact, here in Korea, ever since 2006,

- we've grown our own Shine Muscats. - Local is best!

You can't beat homegrown!

Korea!

- Korea! - Korea!

- Korea! - Korea!

Ko...

Well, that's not a bad idea.

When the samples are ready, bring them to us.

Good work.

Thank you, Mr. Vice President! We'll do our very best!

Thank you!

Thank you, General Affairs Manager! Thank you, Managing Director!

Thank you, everyone! We'll work hard.

Gosh, I'm out of breath.

Are you okay, sir?

Sorry, everyone.

If I ever drink that much again,

I'm an animal. A total animal.

Seriously, without Eun Sang, that would've been a total disaster.

You saved my skin again, Eun Sang.

Thank you.

- Hey, let's get some hangover food. - Again?

Just how much did you drink last night, sir?

How was the off-site meeting?

Perfect.

That's our team leader for you.

See? What did I tell you? We had plenty of time.

You're right. You're the best, Mr. Ko.

You're the man.

Thanks, Da Hee.

So you have some decency after all.

At least you know to say thank you.

It was nothing. Really, I'm fine.

Check this out, Da Hee. Look how good this looks.

- This is killer. - I bought it in Japan this weekend.

It's a top-quality product by an artisan, sold only in Japan.

I thought it'd be nice for everyone to try some.

You're why I love coming to work, Da Hee. You know that?

The meeting went well thanks to you.

Thank you!

- You don't have to say that. - That jerk.

Here, Round. You have one too.

That darn name, Round.

- Da Hee. - Yes?

No. I meant Hee, not Hae.

- Da Hee. - Right.

See me for a second.

(Employee Jung Da Hae)

- Ms. Da Hae? - Yes?

No, Da Hee. "Hae" as in "sun."

- Da Hae. - Yes.

I keep mixing up your names. This is going to be a real problem.

Da Hae, from now on, I'll just call you Round.

What? Why "Round?"

Do I look round to you or something?

It's not about how you look. It's just the vibe you give off.

A vibe? What does that even...

Besides, I'm just more used to saying Da Hae's name.

She started six months before you, and it's a work thing.

- Da Hee? - Yes.

Round?

Round?

- Yes, I'm here. - See? That's better.

And the name problem is solved.

Round.

No, I'm fine.

Give me a piece.

Come on, just have one.

You worked so hard today.

Well...

Okay, then. I guess I'll have just one.

Don't eat it!

Wait a second! Just hold it for me.

Let's give these to the execs. It'll make our lives easier, right?

So I'm just going to run up to the 18th floor...

What's wrong?

I chugged coffee without eating. My stomach is really acting up.

Just tell them it's from our team...

Move, get out of my way.

- I'll be right back. - Mr. Ko, are you okay?

- I'll take this up for you then? - Yes.

Da Hee.

The Accounting Team wants to see the Q1 performance report.

Right. I was going to do that in a bit...

They need it now for their meeting.

Can't you just get someone...

Right.

Da Hae.

Come on.

This is so irritating. They dump everything on me.

The 18th floor. The room at the end of the hall?

Which one is the last room?

Excuse me.

What?

Is anybody here?

Goodness.

What is this place?

Gosh, it's like a palace in here.

Goodness.

What?

No way! I've seen this in commercials.

Goodness. This is more than three months' pay.

So, what's something this fancy doing in here?

Maybe they're building a new staff lounge?

What? Maybe just for a second.

This is nice.

My goodness.

Gosh.

Gosh, that hits the spot.

Goodness.

I see why this is so expensive.

My gosh.

It's really getting in there...

What's going on?

What?

Why did it stop?

What on earth?

What?

Yes, the remodeling in my office turned out great.

You really didn't have to go to all this trouble.

What was that?

But the nameplate was a bit much, so I just had that replaced.

Wasn't this the staff lounge?

Right.

Gosh, what do I do? What am I going to do?

First, I'll just get up naturally.

Darn it, it won't move an inch.

This piece of...

What's this?

What is this?

Where is it going? Is it this one?

Oh, no.

(Loading. Please wait.)

Ta-da! Surprise!

Surprised, right? You're totally shocked, aren't you?

Right. You can go now.

I must be out of my mind.

(Doctor Ham Ji Woo)

Where have I seen her before?

You idiot. Why did you have to sit there?

Why won't this come off? Darn it.

Excuse me. What's wrong? Are you okay?

The evaluation forms are out.

And just like that, it was evaluation season.

The company used a five-tier scale to grade last year's performance.

Congrats. Looks like you'll be the first of us to get promoted.

No way.

You're always so humble, Da Hee.

Is everyone free for lunch today? My treat.

Simply put, this one means, "You did an awesome job."

In that case, I'll get coffee.

This one means, "Hey, not bad. We see you."

You're coming, right?

I'm busy today, so I can't make it.

Enjoy.

This means,

"Good start, but you aren't stopping now, are you?"

And then...

The rest need no explanation.

(Employee Jung Da Hae)

Please.

(2017 Evaluation: Meets expectations)

Average.

(Off-cycle hire)

(Average)

Darn it.

Wei Lin.

Lunch? Tasty?

Deliciously tasty?

Yes. I ate a lot.

So you're all powered up now.

Are your muscles popping?

They're popping!

Awesome.

You must be causing global warming.

You're so hot. You're on fire.

You didn't forget our plans for this weekend, right?

For our matching couple stuff,

I got a new board and new sunglasses.

- Ji Song, behind you. - I got new underwear too.

- Behind your back. - What else am I buying?

Feel like saying bye to the company too?

Gosh, Mr. Song!

Ji Song.

Did you finish organizing this month's expense reports?

Oh, I'm almost finished with it.

Funny, you said "almost done" three days ago.

Oh, right. Well, three days ago, they were almost done.

But now it's really almost done.

There is a subtle difference.

You can grab the handle right here.

Look, whether they're "almost" or "really almost" done,

it means you're not done, right?

- Are you messing with me right now? - No, of course not.

Have them on my desk before you leave today.

Got it?

Yes.

(Off-cycle hire)

(Average)

Mr. Cheon, did Ms. Eun Sang get "average" for her review again?

It wasn't my call.

The decision came from up.

At this rate, she's going to quit.

And they won't even give our team more people.

Just imagine if Ms. Eun Sang quits. She does the work of ten people.

What's with her?

She's so mad that she finally snapped.

(2017 Evaluation: Meets expectations)

(Enderion)

(380.53 dollars)

(Enderion)

I'll go first. I got "Average."

Same here.

Let's just go get something to eat. I have something to tell you anyway.

We'll eat, but reveal yours first.

- What did you get? - Do you even have to ask?

You got "Average" too?

It's been the same for three years.

(Averages)

Three years of this? That's completely insane.

Three years?

Has it really been that long?

The two people who've been with me, stuck in this cycle of "average."

Kang Eun Sang and Kim Ji Song.

It's been three years since we met.

This angle is awful.

- I'll show you later! - Let's get on the bus.

(3 years ago)

- Let's go. - I'm so sorry about this.

The bus broke down out of nowhere. I'm so sorry for the trouble.

Right, okay.

Again, I apologize.

Hey! Anyone going to Gangnam, get in here!

- Me! - I'm going to Gangnam!

Oh, you live there?

I mean, I'd love to live in Gangnam.

- I live in Yeoksam-dong! - Come on, get in!

I lived in Apgujeong since I was five.

- I'm an Apgujeong kid. - All right, get in.

GM, don't forget the HOA meeting at our complex this week.

Bye!

Anyone going to Sillim-dong? I'm from Sillim-dong.

- Sillim-dong! - I live near there Sillim-dong!

It's by Chinatown.

It's near Hankuk University!

General Manager,

We went to the same business school and club, right?

- Hankuk University! - Hankuk University!

- Bye! - Bye!

- We're out of here! - Bye!

- Mr. Ko? - Oh, Mr. Ko.

Maybe I can go with Mr. Ko, at least.

- Well... - Mr. Ko!

Mr. Ko! We're the 14th Class. We love you!

- We're the 14th Class! - We're the 14th Class!

Let's go! Class of the 14th!

(2014 Marron Confectionery Fall Workshop)

We didn't live in the Gangnam Area...

or go to a so-called prestigious university.

Most importantly, the three of us weren't hired via open recruitment.

You could say we were...

(Marketing Team, 14th Class)

(Jung Da Hae)

(Kang Eun Sang)

(Kim Ji Song)

We were the ones who'd been dropped from their exclusive league.

- Congratulations! - Congratulations!

(The bride)

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

(Jung Da Hae, Kang Eun Sang, Kim Ji Song)

We were the nobodies, the misfits, the off-cycle hires, you could say.

Looks like it's just us again.

Tell me about it.

This feels just like a remedial class back in school.

Hey, I was a good student.

Right.

I did average, I guess.

Let's just go get some galbitang and soju.

- Sounds good. - Let's do it.

- Yes! - I guess that's how we bonded.

- Just a moment, please. One second. - The show on TV...

- Here you go. Enjoy. - Thank you.

- With another powerful start... - Gosh, it's hot.

toward the Winter Games,

Empress of the Ice begins a new challenge...

to make history once again.

Lee Sang Hwa has secured her spot in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games.

She'll now be aiming for her third consecutive gold.

- With her rival Nao Kodaira... - Gosh, Lee Sang Hwa.

What a legend!

- An epic showdown... - Wait, wasn't she injured?

Isn't she pushing herself too hard?

"Pushing herself?"

What's ridiculous is getting "average" for three years.

What can you do?

They won't give us promotion ratings since we're off-cycle hires.

Tell me about it. Life's hard enough as it is.

It's like everyone at work and outside...

is telling us to just drop dead. Seriously.

(Gukbap: 7.2 dollars)

The price went up.

It's so expensive!

- The owner's so mean. - That'll be 7.8 dollars.

By card, please.

- That'll be 3.7 dollars. - Can I get a stamp, please?

- That'll be 4.5 dollars. - Extra whipping cream, please.

Are you the same people who said the soup was too expensive?

You spend more than a meal on this without a second thought.

This is our lifeblood. We need this to survive the workday.

Come on. We don't do this every day. It's just once or twice a week.

A little treat like this is fine.

What?

What's this? That's new, isn't it?

You noticed.

It's new this season. Cute, right?

Where do you get all that money?

New bags and shoes all the time.

- How do you afford it all? - Well...

The bank is happy to lend it to me. And Simin Bank helps out a lot.

Will you listen to her?

You've lost your mind.

I deserve a medal for not grabbing Mr. Song's grubby hand...

and snapping it off.

That's why I need sweets and to shop.

Or else I might slap my resignation right on his forehead!

Right! Isn't today payday?

Right, I can't be quitting. Not on payday.

(Salary has been deposited.)

(Paycheck, rent, Mom, loan, cell phone, credit card, savings)

(Remaining balance: Minus 764.470 dollars)

(Remaining balance: Minus 1,410.32 dollars)

It's been a while. Tell that jerk to come to our reunion.

Not pretty.

My bank balance is not pretty at all.

I have to meet Wei Lin.

We were supposed to go snowboarding in Pyeongchang.

You're still with Beijing Baby? You haven't broken up?

Break up?

Our love is forever and ever, okay?

What do you know about love?

I don't know much about unprofitable things like love,

but I do know about something else.

And what's that?

- It's called crypto. - I know.

- You do? - You mean like a karaoke booth?

- No, not a karaoke booth. - Not a booth? Like a laundromat?

Not a coin laundromat.

That cryptocurrency stuff?

Cryptocurrency...

You mean like in-game money?

Seriously? How can you compare it to game cash?

- Da Hae, what's wrong? - Hey, I'm in the middle of talking.

Da Hae, what's up with you?

What?

It's nothing.

It's obviously not nothing.

So what's wrong? What's on your mind?

No, it's not that.

Actually...

The truth is...

Byeong Jun...

Asked you to marry him?

- What? - It's about that time, right?

Don't tell me he proposed.

- Oh, my gosh. - No. Don't jump to conclusions.

Marriage? Are you kidding?

- It's not? - I said, no.

And besides, I'm the type who'd rather live together first.

So you're moving in together?

- Seriously. I said no. - What is this?

- Why does she keep cutting me off? - What?

- I have to go! - What's going on?

- Hey, wait! - What's gotten into her?

Come on!

- What is all this? - Mr. Song.

- Is all of this yours, Ms. Kim? - I meant to use my home address,

- but used the office address. - What?

I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.

How could you be so...

Mr. Song! Are you okay?

Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.

Are you okay? Are you all right?

Ms. Kim Ji Song, seriously.

Oh, what am I going to do with you?

I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen.

- What do I do? - I'm leaving.

- Bye. - Let me help you up.

A pain patch, Mr. Yoon.

- Does anyone have a patch? - Gosh, my back.

Christmas is just around the corner,

and as we await the birth of baby Jesus,

how about we all go grab a drink? Let's go!

My parents are waiting for me.

My girlfriend's waiting for me.

My delivery driver is waiting.

I guess I'm the only one waiting for baby Jesus.

If you don't want to go, just say so.

Goodness.

Fine, then I'll go by myself.

See you all next week.

- Good work, everyone. - Good work, everyone.

(My birthday)

Have a good weekend, Da Hae.

Oh, you too.

I'm out.

- I'm off? - Okay. See you.

- Bye! - Bye!

Is she gone?

- She's gone. - She's gone. Let's go.

This is going to be fun.

The phone is turned off.

Please leave a message after the tone.

You'll be charged after the tone.

(Honey)

Excuse me.

What?

It's my boyfriend.

He's gone missing.

Please, you have to find him.

It's fine. It's just one dish.

- You sure? - Yes.

Hey, stop it.

What's with you? There you go again.

Hey! I'm trying to cook here!

I knew you'd do this.

No dinner for you.

Okay.

- Go open the wine, then. - The wine?

- Yes. - This one?

I'm almost done with this.

Where's the corkscrew?

Right. I forgot I was supposed to buy one.

You can't open it without one, can you?

I don't think so. Hold on. I'll go get one real quick.

- Okay. See you soon. - I'll be right back.

- Yes. Hurry back. - Okay.

At first,

I thought it was part of some surprise.

Tomorrow's my birthday.

I thought if I just waited a little while,

he'd walk in with flowers and a cake and go, "Ta-da! Surprise!"

But...

He didn't come back?

He didn't. After an hour, he still wasn't back.

Then two hours, and he still wasn't back.

That's when I got a bad feeling that something was really wrong.

Excuse me, did you see a tall guy come in to buy a corkscrew?

From then on, I just kept looking for Byeong Jun.

The phone is turned off.

I went to the playground where he'd go for smoke breaks,

and I even went to his place to check, but...

Byeong Jun!

Lee Byeong Jun!

- Lee Byeong Jun! - Gosh, it's so darn loud.

- Some of us are trying to sleep! - Sorry.

But he wasn't there. Nowhere.

And then, my mind started going to some pretty wild places.

Wild places? Like what?

It's not like he just shot up into the sky,

so I thought maybe he'd been swallowed by the earth.

Yes, like into a sinkhole.

You know in like disaster movies,

bridges collapse, and people get trapped in buildings.

Disasters like that happen, right?

A sinkhole seems plausible, don't you think?

(Screaming)

But I kept waiting, and there was no word from MOLIT.

So you actually waited.

Then I even thought about calling the Ministry of National Defense.

The Ministry of National Defense? Why?

I figured it must be their handiwork.

Aliens.

A UFO came down and abducted Byeong Jun.

Help!

It's not completely impossible, right?

I'm not so sure.

How about we stick to something more plausible, shall we?

When he vanished, did your boyfriend...

seem different than usual?

Was he going through a hard time?

Was there a situation that might've upset him?

It was a pretty ordinary day.

That day...

That day...

If I have to pinpoint something,

when we were on our date earlier that day,

I kept asking him to turn on his hotspot.

I'm on a budget phone service, and I'd used up all my data.

- Data. Got it. - I was complaining about my boss...

I just kept trash-talking my boss.

So, I guess that might have annoyed him a bit.

Also, after we ate, I paid for our coffee, but...

I paid for it with a handful of coins.

I didn't have enough on my debit card.

What else?

There's more? All right.

Well...

It's just that...

- What? - What?

(Real Estate Monthly Rent Contract)

Oh, this?

It's almost time to renew my lease.

I should probably move.

And I should probably start thinking about marriage too.

This lousy apartment.

And they have the nerve to raise the rent.

The bathroom doesn't even have a threshold.

Today, again,

I had to shower so fast, worried the water would spill out.

Why not use some waterproof tape? Want me to do it?

No, it's fine.

It'll just peel right off anyway.

I'll just...

Gosh, I'm hungry.

Aren't you?

Should we grab a bite first?

Sure.

How about some wine?

Let's grill some eel to go with it.

It's cold, so we need a hearty meal.

Sounds good.

What's rent like in your neighborhood?

It's whatever.

It seems like an easy commute to work,

and with all the hospitals nearby, it seems like a nice place to live.

You think so?

So,

I was wondering...

if I moved in with you...

I'm not proposing or anything.

It's just that if we lived together,

we could save on some expenses.

It doesn't have to be fancy or anything.

We can keep it simple and low-key.

I mean, we can always get married down the road.

What? There's no corkscrew.

Right. I forgot I was supposed to buy one.

You can't open it without one, can you?

I don't think so.

Hold on. I'll go get one real quick.

Oh, okay.

Hurry back.

He left, and I never heard from him again.

As I was objectively laying out my situation,

it dawned on me.

Byeong Jun was gone.

Because he didn't want to marry me.

That jerk.

Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry. That just slipped out.

No, it's okay. That's actually comforting.

Oh, I shouldn't have...

- I'm sorry. - No. It's just that...

You shouldn't waste valuable time chasing after some deadbeat.

I'd like to withdraw my report.

Gosh. Wait. Miss.

Stay strong!

- Stay strong! - Stay strong!

I will.

FYI, she likes whipped cream.

Sorry, my bad. Wrong chat.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

Hey. What if Da Hae finds out?

How could you post that in the group chat?

No, I'm sure she didn't notice. She's surprisingly oblivious.

Why'd you buy so much?

It was a buy two, get one free deal. It'll be fun if we all use them!

- Come on, we're late. Let's go. - Okay.

Give it here. I'll put it in my bag.

(My birthday)

(Happy birthday, Ms. Jung. We'll give you a 20-percent discount...)

Gosh.

What?

- Da Hae. - You...

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry, Da Hae. I was just...

too ashamed to face you.

Right.

You should be.

Showing up after what felt like 24 years.

No, that's not right.

- It's only been a day. - Every hour felt like a year.

I'm so sorry. I'm really so sorry.

You should have said that yesterday.

You should have come back to me...

and said, "I don't love you enough to marry you. I'm sorry."

You should've done all that yesterday.

I'm sorry, but please don't misunderstand me.

I do love you.

But the more I love you,

the more I'll just feel like something's missing.

What?

I've thought about this a lot.

What would happen if we got married?

Would things still be this good?

Could we actually be happy?

But we're not going to make it.

And why wouldn't we?

We both came from nothing.

If we marry, we'll have to work way harder just to get by.

- Do you think you can handle that? - Hey!

Why not?

I have a job too.

You're a temp.

There's no room for advancement.

On your salary, can you even make a dent in your student loans?

And what if you get pregnant after we're married?

You'd be pressured into quitting your job anyway.

How can we raise a kid on my income?

Stop it.

I'd have to kill myself working.

I said, stop it.

And even then, we couldn't afford a place in Seoul.

Not even a decent home where we could feel secure for once.

We'd just be scraping by,

slaving away like animals until we retire.

Maybe that passes for an "average" life to you.

Well, I'm so done with that life!

Gosh. Hey...

Goodness.

If you're going to say all that,

at least get me drunk first.

It's seriously hard to take in...

when I'm sober.

I'm really sorry, but...

Are you crying?

I'm not crying because of you.

I'm crying for me.

Because I'm so pathetic.

My life was so pitiful that I had no choice but to fall for you.

Someone like you was the best I could do.

My...

My life...

is just so pathetic.

Da Hae. Wait...

Move.

Surprise!

Happy birthday!

- Happy birthday - Happy birthday

Happy birthday...

(Christmas Flea Market is Open!)

I've seen myself like this before.

Was it a dream?

Or was it a premonition of this awful, repetitive reality?

Either way,

life is awful.

Come on out.

Gosh.

Gosh, stop smacking your lips.

You see,

- it's something I read somewhere. - Yes?

I think they say a breakup is...

when it's time to part and you just go your own way.

So as for who got the better deal...

I don't know, Jesus? Buddha?

Anyway, they say only the Almighty knows. That...

Socrates, or was it Pilates?

- Anyway, one of them said it. - What are you even talking about?

Hey.

How can you not recall a short line and just stumble through it?

I just wanted to say something to help.

She's crying so hard.

Da Hae.

Stop crying already!

Is this really worth crying over?

Should I do a happy dance because it's all-out mayhem?

Don't waste your tears on that jerk.

Focus on something more productive.

Something that'll actually help you in life.

Something more ambitious, you know? Forward-thinking.

For example, something like crypto...

This isn't right, Eun Sang.

Why do you keep interrupting me?

I just really feel like I have to say this.

Are you serious?

Hey, honey. Yes, I just got done.

Well, it was a bit of a headache,

but I took care of it.

Should I meet you there?

See you in a bit. Love you.

That son of a...

I'm going to grab that jerk,

dunk him in the Han River head, shoulders, knees, and toes...

and make suyuk out of him! That jerk!

You jerk!

Gosh, why are you being so vicious?

Hey, You share locations with him, right?

Track him down right now.

Well, he's had his phone turned off this whole time.

But why?

Since everything's all-out mayhem anyway,

let's go do that happy dance for real.

What?

You know what?

The walk signal here stays on for way more than a minute.

Really?

So?

What can we do with all that time?

What are you getting at?

What?

Your hair is so soft.

- What? - And it smells really good.

- Hey, what is that? - What? What's the problem?

Look over there.

("Red Flavor," sung and adapted by Averages)

(Lee Byeong Jun, you're just so awful)

(You're all talk, but you just keep showing off)

(Being with you is absolute torture)

(What makes you so cocky when you've got nothing to show for it?)

(Your face looks like a wad of chewed-up gum)

(No, that's an insult to the gum)

Change it.

(Then you should at least have a good personality)

(Or be loaded, like you always say)

Money!

(Lee Byeong Jun, you're just so awful)

(You're all talk, but you just keep showing off)

(Being with you is absolute torture)

(You're totally awful when you've got nothing to show for it)

You good-for-nothing!

Isn't that your name?

Yes, that's my name.

- Gosh! - Hey!

The guy who hated subway transfers...

- is quick with this transfer. - Transfer?

- Hey, am I your rebound? - No, that's not what this is.

- No, not even close. - What?

A guy who couldn't get it up. Do you call that a relationship?

- It was charity. - Jung Da Hae! What did you say?

Speaking of which,

you know the special meal you missed?

- What? - I'll give it to you now.

Eat this!

- Sun Hwa! - Hey!

- Gosh, that's cold. - You think I'm the one losing out?

You weren't good enough for me either, you jerk!

You go, girl! You go! That was awesome.

Darn it...

Darn it!

No way.

(Bareun Snack's Sinsa Tteokbokki)

Is that the spicy flavor?

It was absurd.

What are you doing? Now you just waltz in here...

and crash?

Just for tonight.

Why leave your fancy house to cause trouble here all the time?

Where have I seen her before?

Who?

- A woman? - A warrior.

With guts like that, she's a total warrior.

What are you talking about?

Hey, did you guys see that?

- Hey. - Darn, I should've recorded that.

That's hilarious.

Still, it's your birthday, so we have to celebrate.

- Birthday party time. - Yes!

- One, two, three. - Two, three.

Happy birthday.

Okay, make a wish.

A wish? Just to live a normal, quiet life.

But my life is just so...

Why does it have to be so hard?

So, I'm not asking for anything special.

This life is beyond saving.

It feels like a losing game already.

Let's all go home. It's cold.

Hey, wait!

- What about the cake? - Wait for us.

- At least eat some before you go. - Wait for us.

- Let's eat it before we go. - Wait for us.

- Hey, we need to pack this up. - Oh, the cake...

Just put it all in here.

You guys, I need to tell you something.

Oh, no. We're done for.

What is it now? Why do you always have to interrupt?

No, look over there. That's a shortcut.

We have to go this way if we want to catch the last train.

Hey, wait up! Seriously.

- Hey! - Hey, be careful!

Gosh, wait up!

- Here, grab my hand. - My gosh.

Oh, my.

Hold on!

Hey! Ji Song! Gosh, seriously.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine. Why did you suddenly run off?

- Gosh, seriously. - Get up. Don't sit.

- Hey... - Careful.

The last train. Hurry!

Oh, no. The cake!

Darn it! Nothing ever goes my way.

Every single thing...

is just completely ruined. Darn it!

- It's not ruined! - Gosh, you scared me!

Why are you yelling?

We have it too!

What do you mean? What do we have?

Something to turn this all around.

Our ace in the hole!

A shot?

I've only ever been on the receiving end.

Even as this cruel world kept knocking my teeth out,

I believed this misery was my fate because I had nothing.

But now, Eun Sang is telling me...

that we have a shot too.

A knockout punch to obliterate this painful reality.

She's saying it's ours for the taking.

She's flying.

She's flying?

Guys, let's...

Back then, I had no idea...

that this moment...

Let's get into crypto!

would change our destinies.

Just give me the chance.

I'll be a dedicated Marron employee.

Ms. Jung Da Hae.

In three years,

- how do you think you'll be living? - Sorry?

Your wish, so to speak?

You have a vision for your future, right?

What do you think it'll be like in three years?

I just...

want to live a normal, average life.

Average...

is boring.

- I'm out of questions. - What's "average" to you?

Well, I'm not entirely sure,

but a life where you get immediate care...

if you get stung by a bee?

The truth is, right now,

I'm in a lot of pain.

But I'm afraid that if I leave now, I won't get the job.

And if that happens, starting next month,

I'll be struggling to even pay my health insurance.

So, something that might seem boringly obvious to someone else...

is a matter of desperation for me.

Right now, my life feels pretty miserable.

So, I hope that in three years, I won't be like this anymore,

so I can live that average life...

where money isn't making me miserable.

So, couldn't you please just hire me?

So, if you just get the job,

you think you'll be able to live the life you want?

Yes, of course.

I'll be earning money.

(To the Moon)

Do you think I'm like you? Blinded by a get-rich-quick fantasy?

Do I look like the type of person who'd get into crypto?

I swore I wouldn't, but I bought it.

Nothing ever goes my way.

Not one single thing.

Dr. Ham?

Didn't you say you saw him during your job interview?

I doubt he'd even remember me, though.

I interviewed you three years ago, right?

So what if I like him?

Is there some reason I can't?
