- Episode 7 -

- Except for marriage. - I thought so.

I want to be perfectly prepared for marriage.

I don't want to just get it over with.

Run!

Yesterday, today, tomorrow. It'll be the same day again.

What kind of future can I look forward to with you?

We're too old for movie-like romance.

Do we need to know anything in advance?

I've been married.

Don't be mistaken. You and I were over three years ago.

What do you...

Min Hong!

- What happened to the workshop? - It's closed now.

What?

I'm going to Seoul.

Seoul?

Why Seoul? Where to?

Another special employment?

- Avvio is in China now. - Yes.

We don't have enough people yet.

Who is it?

He's a bit old for a new recruit.

You won't feel uncomfortable.

He was almost scouted to Italy, but we got him.

Okay.

Shall we talk?

Were you resentful of me? You got thinner.

No. I'm okay.

Let's keep private matters private.

I'm going to consider you only as manager of Avvio.

I want you to do the same.

And with Jae Min,

let's keep it separate from work.

Don't be intimidated by me at work. Do your thing.

Okay.

President, sorry.

I'm an undeserving person.

I fell in love, not knowing my place.

I'm sorry.

Manager Lee. Don't take it the wrong way.

I'm not opposed to you two loving each other.

I'm just opposed to marriage.

So don't make me some evil mother-in-law.

No need to be all emotional as if you're Romeo and Juliet.

Let's make that clear.

Another new recruit?

Orders from the secretary.

Oh, secretary? Okay.

Oh, secretary.

Let's see.

I hope it's not another bum.

Look at Hwang Hye Rim. She's late again.

There can't be two psychos in one team.

Law of psychos says

there is always a certain quota of psychos.

But I've never heard that that amount is exceeded.

Law of conservation of psychos?

Also called conservation of total assholes.

- Manager, a new recruit. - Oh, yes.

Good morning!

Lee Min Hong

Oh.

Hello. I'm Lee Min Hong, joining as a special recruit.

Nice to meet you.

- Lee Min Hong. - Yes.

- How old? - I'm 32.

Introduce yourself.

I'm from Seosan...

I had a workshop there and got recruited.

Here's my portfolio.

Who recommended...

That's not important.

It is. It is.

For me, it's very important.

Anyway, welcome.

Nice to meet you.

Lee Min Hong. See me for a second.

Are you on drugs? Is your head okay?

I'm just fine. Even my headache went away.

What's the matter?

Do you know where you are?

Of course. I was officially scouted here.

What kind of fool would scout you?

The president.

I think it was Oh In Hwa.

She must have seen my chairs and tables.

- Lee Min Hong is here. - Who?

He kept saying he was busy.

It must've been hard coming all the way here.

Not at all. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.

I can accommodate any demands you make.

But why are you offering me such a good opportunity?

You're talented in making furniture.

I'm good at recognizing talent.

It's a skill.

I only have one requirement.

I want to be in the Avvio design team.

I don't care if it's intern or part-time.

Oh, sorry.

That's exactly the same thing that I was thinking of.

It feels like heaven is helping us.

What do you mean?

You should've said no even if it was her grandfather.

Why would I? I need a job too.

You have a workshop.

- It's closed. - What?

That's what you said. "A man with no ambition."

"We're too old for romance."

So I gave up romance and picked up ambition.

- At a good company like this one. - Hey!

You have no reason or right to tell me to leave.

Are you... trying to getrevenge on me?

Do you want to know?

Actually, I'm here to seduce you.

What...

You should go to the hospital and get a checkup.

You're out of your mind.

If you can't go yourself, I'll call the ambulance.

You said you hate me, so I'm trying to change.

Anything wrong with that?

I'll try to become a man with dreams and ambitions.

Oh... Really?

You're making the wrong move every time.

Let me be frank with you so you can wake up to reality.

No matter how hard you try,

I won't fall for you.

Can't you see?

So I'm going to try for just one month.

For the one-month period of divorce deliberation.

Isn't that doable?

Then... What if after a month, it still doesn't work?

Will you quit work?

That's weird. They've been talking for so long.

You should've waited when I asked who recommended him.

That's not important. What's important is your talent.

You must not know.

They're childhood friends.

How do you know that?

What? That means she recommended him? Come on.

Her recommendation?

Our manager has high standards.

That can't be.

Manager, your childhood friendship

is still going on. It's so nice to see that.

That's not intentional.

You keep coming across him.

That's destiny.

Right, it's destiny.

Manager, since we have new recruits,

why don't we have dinner?

Seriously. I'm down.

- Down. - I'm down too.

Nonsense.

The collaboration is soon.

We didn't have dinner when Hyo-rim joined.

Manager, let's have dinner and boost their morale.

Let's have dinner. Let's have dinner.

Let's have dinner. Let's have dinner.

Okay, then. Whatever.

Where should we go?

Not that place.

Is Jae Min not coming again?

He's occupied with the hotel acquisition in Jeju.

Next time I'll make sure he says hello properly.

Yeon Doo, you're dating Jae Min, are you not?

Yes, Mother.

I don't want my daughter to marry someone who doesn't like her.

You'd understand since you have a daughter too.

Of course.

Jae Min is clear about what he can do and what he can gain.

He just doesn't know Yeon Doo yet. It's too early to give up.

He even promised he'd keep seeing Yeon Doo.

How's President Hwang?

He got much better.

He'll get back up soon.

We've come this far thanks to him.

Right?

Of course.

He'd be happy too.

Your wife wants Jae Min to get married quickly.

If that happens, you'd be in more difficulty.

Did you hear? The story was a false report.

I heard from Hyo Rim.

They're really seeing each other.

Not everyone gets married.

Were you hurt?

The past doesn't concern me.

What's important is the future.

Right. The future depends on you.

Yes.

GN Foundation is having a campaign for Ethiopian refugees,

part of which is a concert.

We're looking for a venue. Merijein Hotel is a candidate.

There's no reason we'd say no for publicity purposes.

Come over some time. Let's have lunch.

Yes, Mother.

My legs...

Min Hong, the training program is in a bit.

Why don't we have some coffee?

Your eyebrows are uneven.

Let's have coffee. Just us men.

I had some just now.

- What? - Let's go.

Oh. Come on.

- John Lester concert? - Yes.

It's the refugee relief concert.

He's going to perform in our hotel and stay in the suite.

Who's organizing it?

It's GN Foundation.

John Lester agreed.

Okay.

As you know, John Lester is a world-class musician.

He made some specific demands.

Can we have a look at the suite?

Sure. Follow me.

You have to get in the right line.

I'll be watching you.

KIA or Doosan?

What?

Wow!

- Isn't this paradise? - Yes.

This is my hideout. Secret hideout.

Can you tell me your secret?

It's a secret only you and I know.

What?

Anyway, what happened?

Why did you start work? Manager Lee's recommendation?

Or Maybe...

He has his own workshop.

You can say it's the work of fate.

What?

Oh, the interior looks quite old.

The furniture is worn out, too.

It's not new but,

it was handmade from premium birch.

You must not have heard.

John Lester is having a live interview in his room.

The whole world is probably going to see it.

I'm curious.

If it's such a big deal,

you can go to a hotel bigger than ours.

I don't like losing money.

John Lester is donating his talent.

How about donating venue?

It'll be perfect for advertising your hotel.

You can't afford to pay for such a big advertisement.

If all goes well, it'll pay off enormously.

Things Ra Hee likes to do

Hey, why the long face? Am I immigrating?

Whatever. Don't worry about us.

Take care of yourself.

I don't worry. But I should wrap things up

to begin freshly.

See you.

- Be careful. - Take care.

Take care!

Things Ra Hee likes to do

(Manager Lee Ra Hee)

Pain relief patch

If you lay a finger on me or show up again,

you're dead meat.

Manager, we're having a video talk with Jimmy Jang.

Yes, connect.

It's been a while. How are you?

Sir, it's me!

- Hi, everyone. - Still in New York?

Yes.

The leather worker you mentioned isn't taking orders anymore.

If it's not his leather,

I can't paint.

Bye.

President.

- President! - Yes.

Today is the anniversary.

Just in case you forgot since you didn't bring it up.

Thank you.

He'll refuse even if you go visit him.

I heard he quit leather works last year.

We have to persuade him.

I'll go see him.

- Are you going yourself? - I'll go too.

I did leather work too at my workshop.

I can be of help.

I'll go too then.

It's the first time I've seen you volunteer to do work.

I'm willing to do things that are worth doing.

I'll do the driving if nothing else.

Okay then. Let's set a date.

I'm sorry, I forgot.

I didn't understand when Mom, forgot, saying she was too busy.

Now I'm doing that.

Father.

Jae Min, this is a present for you.

I don't want to send you.

Later I'll go—

Let's go.

Get in.

Forget everything that happened here.

- Jae-min! - Dad!

Mom, Dad's over there.

Let's take him, too. Huh?

- Mom! Mom! - Stop that!

Shut up!

Listen. The point isn't who you live with.

It's how you live.

You got that?

You must be Jae Min. Nice to meet you.

What's the matter? Say hello.

Call him Father from now on.

Oh, yes. Hyo Rim.

Good girl. Come here.

Your oppa. Say hello. Shake hands.

She's your sister. Hold her hand. Should I?

So pretty.

Good girl.

I'm not like Mother.

How you live depends on who you live with.

I'll come again. Next time, I'll bring her with me.

Lee Min Hong joined my company.

- What? - What's the matter?

So sloppy.

Is he joking?

If he wants to join,

"Welcome" is that it?

Let me get a job, too.

That's what I'm saying. I was so shocked.

Just tell the president and fire him.

How can you be in the same office?

Lee Min Hong is my ex-husband so I can't be with him.

You want me to say that?

Is that it?

I'm glad he decided to give me a divorce,

but I can't be inthe same office as him.

Do you have a plan?

My death notes must have been too weak.

This time, it's hell list.

Whoa...

Hell List

Are you okay?

Every time I have sashimi, I get a stomach ache.

Don't eat sashimi again. I'm quitting sashimi too.

What? Again? Again?

Oh, no. You're going to lose weight.

Hey, don't! Don't!

Dinner menu: sashimi

Our new intern and our indefinable career worker.

We have two new workers.

So it's a bit disorderly, uncomfortable and annoying.

Not at all.

Keep steady.

Keep it up. Cheers!

Cheers!

Slowly, slowly.

Min Hong, do you have a girlfriend?

He has a crush on someone.

- Why are you answering it? - Because I know.

How do you know about the love life of a new worker?

Usually, new people get along better.

We're really tight, aren't we?

Since you were in this business for quite some time,

you probably feel left out.

I'm a manager but we're the same age.

Why would I feel left out?

I'm an expert on unrequited love. Does she know, too?

I don't know. She doesn't show.

She must be blind.

What kind of girl is she?

She has one bad personality.

But she does her work.

She can be feisty but she's a good person.

- Is she pretty? - Is she?

Yes.

Let me see her picture.

Oh, yes. It's...

I have a 2G phone so I don't have any pictures.

Why didn't you get a new one?

Get one tomorrow.

We have a group chat.

To get used to a new environment,

it'll take some effort.

Here. Say "ah."

Um... I don't eat sashimi.

What? You look like you can eat anything. Why not sashimi?

Is it because I'm giving it to you?

Hey, eat it.

Ah.

Hyo Rim, say "ah."

Manager, your love for them is remarkable.

Oh, no. Don't mention it.

Our rookie. It's a pity you didn't have enough sashimi.

I had a lot. It's okay.

No, no.

I can't make you starve.

Have this at home.

- What's this? - I need to go to the bathroom.

No. Even if you don't eat sashimi,

you can eat this.

So make sure you have this at home.

Thank you.

What?

- Hell List - Make him touch seafood

Okay! Shall we go to our next course?

Yes!

- In one sense, I'm still scared. - Right.

But...

I'm talking. Huh?

Hey.

What's the matter with you?

♫ Open your heart to me ♫♫ Allow me ♫

♫ So I can get into your heart ♫

♫ I'll fill your heart with my love ♫

♫ Ding-a ding-a ding-a ding ding-dong-ding ♫

♫ Ding-a ding-a ding-a ding ding-dong... ♫

Okay, it's our manager's turn.

♫ I am a cruel woman, do not blame me ♫

♫ I took a break from you for a while ♫

♫ Do not forget my love, you are in my heart ♫

- Hell List - Burst his eardrums ♫ Do not forget my love, you are in my heart ♫

- Hell List - Burst his eardrums ♫ It will not take long until the sadness is gone ♫

♫ It will not take long until the sadness is gone ♫

♫ Forever ♫

Oh. Why don't we hear our rookie sing now?

Move back.

Back!

Why do you only attack and not defend?

I didn't have the time to. You kept hitting me.

Hey, Ra Hee. This is the last one.

Aren't you playing? That's all I have.

I know.

I can't use your last 500 won on this. Follow me.

You look your best when you sing this song.

I sing a killer song.

♫ You, who makes my day complete ♫

♫ You hold me ♫

♫ After the tears have fallen ♫

♫ You're always there ♫

♫ To my wounded soul, I feel your warm touch ♫

It's Min-hong! ♫ To my wounded soul, I feel your warm touch ♫

Min-hong! Min-hong! ♫ To my wounded soul, I feel your warm touch ♫

♫ To my wounded soul, I feel your warm touch ♫

♫ At first, I thought we were just friends ♫

♫ Ever unchanging ♫

♫ I hope we will be happy forever ♫

♫ Whoa, yeah ♫

♫ When I see you, I am comfortable ♫

Hey! ♫ Words are not necessary ♫

♫ Words are not necessary ♫

I'm so scared of cockroaches.It was trying to... ♫ If I see you ♫

♫ To my pure appearance ♫

♫ Like a child, I forget ♫

♫ You are so precious to me ♫

♫ You are happiness to me ♫

I'll take you home.

Manager, you're pretty drunk.

Where do you live?

Manager, be careful.

You be careful.

Dangsan-dong, sir!

I respect you, manager. I was too...

I'm tired of life. Tired.

It was the work of fate.

She has one bad personality,

but she does her work well.

She's really feisty.

But she's a nice person.

Bad personality but does her job.

Feisty but nice.

That's exactly me.

- We're really tight, aren't we? - Yes.

Oh my.

He must be in love with me. What do I do?

Seriously! Oh, no.

You weren't sleeping?

I can't sleep today.

Do you have sleeping pills?

You usually sleep well.

What? Tell me about it.

Strangely, my heart hurts.

It feels like my blood is rushing.

I feel really hot.

My face blushes.

Like someone is playing the radio,

I keep hearing his voice.

Are you okay?

Yes. As you can see.

It doesn't usually fall like this.

I hit it accidentally with my elbow.

Looking at furniture? Want to have a look?

Not really. Let's go.

I didn't like the way they were set up so I'm doing it over.

High heels are uncomfortable.

- I like the bed. - Which one?

I recently moved to a country home.

I'm looking at beds.

This is environment-friendly so it'll be perfect.

Is this a set?

Yes, but you can buy individual pieces.

It's good for two people.

It looks okay for the room size.

Environment-friendly. That's nice.

You... must be in love.

- Huh? - Do you have a crush on someone?

Who is it? Show me.

No. I don't like him officially or anything.

But I don't hate him either.

You know. So-so.

You keep thinking of him?

Do you miss him?

What you need is him, not sleeping pills.

It's not like that yet.

It's like that when you're in love.

Even now, I can't sleep when I think of Ra Hee.

So cheesy.

Let's go to Boryeong soon.

I haven't seen him in a while.

Okay. He'll be glad.

Who's being so noisy at this early hour?

Let's have hangover soup.

What the—

Let go. Hey!

Here.

You— Here—

It's our home. No, my home.

You— What?

If I'm going to work in Seoul,

I need a house and this place is nice with good transportation.

No. This is a nightmare. This is a nightmare.

Hey, I made pollack soup.

You have a bad day when you don't have soup.

Sit down.

This is a nightmare. Oh! This is a nightmare!

Hey. You wanted to go to court today.

This might be our last. Just have breakfast.

No.

Hey. I'll repeat myself since you don't seem to get it.

All you and I can talk about is divorce by consent.

So don't ever call me privately.

Don't talk to me or say hi.

I think differently.

Until the day we're completely divorced legally,

I'll see you privately, talk to you and say hi.

Why are you doing this?

What do you get out of making things get worse?

It's not for anything.

I'm just doing my best till the end.

So I won't regret.

It's about you having a clean conscience.

I bet you'll feel better too, if I do this.

Think about it. The last images of the man you chose.

Wouldn't it be better

to do his best till the end?

Do you leave at this time?

Let's carpool to save energy.

Going down. Door opening.

Going down. Door closing.

Door opening. Door closing.

Min Hong.

Hyo-Hyo Rim?

Manager.

Why are you leaving together?

Single Wife

Stop!

Getting physical.

- I got a cramp. - I'll help you.

Hey. Hyo Rim. Hyo Rim?

Whoa! Whoa!

You were scouted by Bijor Furniture?

I want to work with Avvio.

It's an honor for us.

Come out later.

To be there in time.
