Original subtitles

How was your week?

This is our bar's signature cocktail.

I recommend this cocktail for those who are new to cocktails.

You can take photos all you want, but...

I know. I won't upload it.

Yes. I'm almost there.

Aren't you going there for nothing?

Everyone else's offer was refused.

Maybe no one else offered as much as me.

How come they don't have any address or a signboard?

That's their concept.

"A bar I'd like to keep to myself." is what they're after.

They sure are stubborn.

They should be promoting the store with more money.

Can I get your number?

I'm sorry, but I have a girlfriend.

I knew it.

How did you meet your girlfriend?

I met her at a bar she was working at...

about two years ago.

What a shame. I should have come here two years earlier.

I know.

I think I found it. I'm going to go.

Hey, Boss.

Did you research the head bartender?

I'll know when I see one.

I hope he's handsome, so I'd want to go to work every day.

What? Did you think she's a guy?

Is it a woman?

I see you like your drinks strong.

This one's for you. Whiskey based.

It's far from smooth, but I think you'll like it.

Yes, she's a woman.

- She's called Na Na. - Na Na?

Is it her real name?

I think it's her nickname at that bar.

All right. I'll see you later.

All right, Boss.

Hello.

Should I direct you to a table?

Sure.

I get it ready.

I'll just sit at the bar.

Long time no see.

You should at least say hi.

We're not in a relationship to say hi.

It's been five years.

Isn't it time for you to talk to me now?

Everything is behind us now.

Na Na.

I'll check the tables.

Okay.

Can I have a cocktail?

I deserve a drink, don't I? I'm here as a customer.

I should have come here earlier if I knew you were in the same industry.

I'm the CEO of Number A.

Did you know?

Why should I know what you're up to?

That's too bad.

Although you don't care about what I do,

you know Number A, right?

It's the top in this industry.

If they're famous, they don't use a business card.

I guess it's not that famous.

It's vodka-based.

It's the cheapest.

What is it called?

"Adios,"

"Bitch."

That was the only cocktail that came to my mind.

If you're here for market research, drink that and get out.

Yoon Na Na.

Do you want to come to my bar?

I'm here to give you a job offer.

I'm going to open a second bar...

and I need a head bartender there.

I heard you won a prize at the international competition.

It seems your class will suit our bar.

I'll give you a good salary.

Honestly, if you're stuck here, what will you learn?

Look at the furniture or the music.

Your boss must be quite old.

Is this...

your style?

Now that I take a closer look, it is your style.

I guess...

you had classical taste back then too,

I used to pick your outfits for you.

Remember?

I remember.

Number A?

Is that the place?

Our customers kept saying your drinks taste bad.

Apparently, you can't even control the amount of ice,

so it tastes diluted like water.

I refuse the offer.

I'll visit your bar next time though.

If you need it, I'll teach you how to make some cocktails.

Also about the outfits,

all the outfits you picked were a hype...

that can't be worn when it's outdated.

I threw all of it out.

I thought you're supposed to throw it out when it's out of fashion.

But it's good to see you even though you're nasty right now.

Think about it.

- I'll call you. - No.

There is no need.

I won't go.

What?

Give me a bite.

It's so good.

It's so delicious.

Thank you.

I'm going to eat that dumpling.

You can't. Have that rice cake.

How dare she come there?

Do you remember what she did to you?

She's insane. And what's with the job offer?

Does her thoughtlessness and insensitivity evolve?

I'm speechless.

It's fine.

She won't come if she has a brain.

I'm pissed. Let's eat something.

What do you want? Something simple...

like maratang?

Hot pot? Mille-feuille?

How is Number A going?

Aren't the sales slowing down?

Is it?

I heard you're trying to get a new bartender, Mr. Kim.

Yes. I'm trying to increase the revenue.

You know that Hong Kong World Class competition.

She's the winner, so I met her.

She said she's not planning to transfer.

It's hard to find someone who works hard.

- Try to get her. - Sure.

Gentlemen, I have an appointment to get to. I'll have to go.

Are you leaving already?

You must be busy preparing the second bar.

I think you got your hand full with Number A.

Don't bite off more than you can chew.

I started this as a hobby because I had nothing better to do.

But seeing how you worry about me,

I'll work harder from now on.

I'll get going now.

She the youngest, but she always leaves first.

She must be rude because she's a black sheep.

A black sheep in a rich family is sure lucky.

Her parents buy her a bar and stuff.

Those jerks think I'm same as them just because I sat with them.

How dare they try to teach me?

It's me.

I think Mr. Kim approached Na Na.

Did you hear anything?

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E01 'XX' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

(Take over XX bar)

Are you looking at it again?

Of course.

I always feel you overdo it.

How can I eat it if it's this pretty?

Everything needs to be pretty.

So how long will it take for you to buy the bar?

Approximately, 3 years and 8 months.

That's with loans of course.

That's dreadful.

What do mean?

XX will be mine after 3 years and 8 months.

So that's why you should have take out that bitcoin.

Why are you talking about it again?

You didn't listen to me when I told you to take it out.

You came to your senses when it became nothing.

If you took that bitcoin out back then,

you would have bought that bar by now.

If I hang in there, I'll win.

That's what I thought.

Be careful. If you hang in there this time,

your boss might sell the bar to the highest bidder.

Hey, Wang Jung Deun.

Hey!

I told you not to call me that.

It's Jayden.

Yes, whatever, Jung Deun.

Wang Jung Deun.

What?

Your noodles are delicious.

Did you ever see me fail?

No.

Because of you, most restaurants are unsatisfactory.

Eat up.

You talk as if you cooked it.

You eat up, you wench.

Mr. Kim offered a lot of money,

but she said she has no intention of transferring.

She said she likes the bar now.

(Gyu Min)

Hey, Gyu Min. How is the business trip?

Good, except I miss you.

All talk you are.

I heard you went to offer that person a job.

How did it go?

I went to see her yesterday, but I don't think she wants to come.

Is that so?

Is she not happy about the offer?

I'm not sure.

Maybe there is nothing she wants.

So are you going to give up?

No.

Did you ever see me give up?

Aren't you going out today?

I will.

I'm going to go out later.

It's my studio anyway.

Your not going to wear that, are you?

What?

I bought this because dry rose color suits bronze autumn type.

This is why people who know a little are scarier.

You don't suit a pink tone.

You need to wear red.

When you're getting a lipstick next time,

get it confirmed by me.

All right.

(Boss)

Yes, Boss.

Hey, Na Na. Are you at the bar?

No, I'm about to head out.

What's up?

I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Someone came to see me and wanted to buy the bar.

What?

Actually, I have some issues at my house.

So...

did you sell it?

Because the person who wants to buy it suddenly appeared.

So I sold it. I'm sorry.

You could have told me.

You said that you'd wait until I saved enough money.

- You said you'll sell it to me. - I'm so sorry.

I was in a hurry too.

My wife nagged me to sell it.

You know my wife's personality.

But bartenders are staying.

I negotiated on that.

Anyway, you did well.

Thank you.

- The new owner will be there today. - Okay.

Thank you too.

What was that? Is he selling the bar?

I thought he's going to sell it to you.

It's not like we made a contract.

You're thankful?

You're thankful to someone who doesn't give you...

any bonus and gave you 100 dollar raise in three years?

I can't confirm this.

Why do I need your confirmation?

Why is he always confirming things?

By the way,

are you two really roommates?

Yes. I've told you already.

We live together.

We also mentioned that it's a two-bedroom.

Be more clear. You keep speaking ambiguously...

which is why he thinks that we're going out.

Don't hinder my love life.

Hey, we're a man and a woman living together.

People won't believe no matter how much we claim to be friends.

It's more tiring to explain every time.

You're right.

What is that?

I found this pretty glass and I bought it.

It's not even your bar. Why don't you just donate eveything?

What? You said that the bar was sold to a new owner.

Our bar got sold?

I didn't even know it was on sale.

Yes. That's what happened.

Then...

are we getting fired?

Well, it's just the bar that got sold.

I don't think anything will change for us.

I'm going.

Yes. See you at home.

(Battery)

Na Na, let me go get this call.

Sure.

You said that you'd wait until I saved enough money.

You said you'll sell it to me.

Are you sad that the bar got sold?

It's not even my bar.

Even still.

It was pretty much Na Na's bar.

There was no place where you didn't look after.

And even I was hired by you.

It's been two years already.

By the way, don't people normally save...

as "honey", "mine", "my babe"...

or something like that?

I'm sorry?

Or simply save as "girlfriend".

I've never seen someone who saved as "battery".

You sort of feel like someone my dad's age.

It's from that, isn't it? "Battery of Love".

It's not that.

One second.

(The new owner is almost there.)

Dan Hee, the new owner is almost here.

Na Na,

I'll play some music I want since we don't have any customers yet.

Sure, play anything you want.

("Good Day To Love")

Na Na, we don't have ice and food supplies, right? I'll order them.

Na Na?

(Did you get back safely? Are you up? Why didn't you call yesterday?)

Did he even get home?

When did you get here? I was going to call...

Na Na.

(XX)

I said that I wasn't going.

I know.

Then why did you come?

I just bought it since you said...

that you wouldn't come.

I bought this place.

What are you talking about?

I came since you said that you weren't coming.

Is there a problem with that?

Hello.

I think we've met last time.

I'm Lee Roo Mi, the new owner.

I hope we get along.

Yes, sure. Hello.

I'm Park Dan Hee, and you can call me Dan Hee.

Sure.

I'm sorry Dan Hee,

but could you give us some space?

There's something we need to talk about.

Sure.

Na Na, text me when you're done with the talk.

Thank you.

Were you surprised?

It'd be possible with the Lee Roo Mi you know.

You already know.

I have to get what I want.

That's right.

Especially someone else's.

I have nothing else to say.

You can look for a new head bartender.

Why?

Are you running away again?

You're good at it. Running away.

First hear the conditions before you go.

I'll give you an incentive of ten percent every month...

regardless of your salary.

I could offer you joint ownership...

if the business is successful and we can get a third bar open.

And of course, we'll write everything in a contract.

I'll treat you well as a head bartender,

so you just have to treat me well as an owner.

I'm not saying that we should get along.

Isn't this a pretty good offer?

It's more foolish to quit.

Stop thinking over the things in the past and let's make some money.

You shouldn't mix up work with personal life.

Usually those who care about work and personal life has...

a stinking back.

Just like you.

That's right.

And about that from five years ago,

I didn't run away.

I just avoided it.

Since it was stinking.

You're consistently rude.

You're the same Yoon Na Na.

What are you doing at this hour?

Don't tell me...

that you got fired by the new owner.

It was Lee Roo Mi.

What about Lee Roo Mi?

She bought our bar.

What?

Then the new owner is Lee Roo Mi?

Really?

This can't be.

Quit.

Just quit it all.

I feel so bummed.

She bought the bar without any thoughts...

which I couldn't get after struggling for years.

It's as if she's doing some grocery shopping.

I feel like she was born to screw me up.

Yes.

Did you get what your father sent you?

I didn't ask him for money.

It doesn't feel good when you just send money without a single call.

It's not like it's some sort of sponsorship.

You're speaking perversely again.

Don't you know how your father is?

He still remembers your birthday.

By the way, I heard that you bought another bar.

Aren't you overdoing it?

I bought it with my birthday present.

I hope you can get it worked out since you bought it anyways.

You know that your father still pays attention to everything.

Just don't cause any trouble or ruin the business...

and disgrace your father.

I got it.

Even as a foolish daughter,

I shouldn't disgrace my father.

Na Na,

don't quit.

You told me to quit earlier on.

The conditions are too good.

Are you insane? You have to suck out everything you can.

Do you think that you could buy your bar...

by saving up for 3 years and 8 months?

It's impossible.

She gives you a raise and an incentive of ten percent.

You might even get joint ownership.

This can't be. I will not confirm...

you from quitting.

But the owner is Lee Roo Mi.

It's that terrible girl!

That's why you shouldn't quit even more.

Even if you want to cut contacts with her,

do it after sucking everything you can.

That's winning.

Don't avoid it even if you hate it.

Avoiding it again is losing.

Just like then.

Should we have a quick talk while there are no customers?

Name is Park Dan Hee, 26 years old.

A year as a part time worker, and a year as a bartender.

You've worked for two years.

Yes.

What did you do before?

I was a baseball player. I had to quit because of my injury.

There must have been many other jobs related to sports.

Why did you decide to become a bartender?

After I quit baseball,

I wasn't sure of what I liked.

Since I couldn't find what I liked,

I thought that I should at least not do something I don't like.

I didn't want to be an ordinary office worker or work behind a desk.

Then I somehow ended up working here,

and now I like and enjoy this job.

Is it possible that I might get fired?

I said talk, not interview.

Was there anything that bothered you when working?

You said that you won't do things you don't like.

I agree. If you don't like the owner,

the worker should also be able to quit.

I don't think that's likely to happen.

I don't know about you,

but I like this place regardless of it.

You like it here? Why?

I have a good coworker.

The best welfare is good coworkers.

Don't avoid it even if you hate it.

Avoiding it again is losing.

Just like then.

You'll raise my salary by this much?

That's what our staff at Number A all get paid.

The best welfare is not...

good coworkers, but the best salary.

Coworkers can sometimes screw you up,

but money doesn't betray you.

If I give them the best treatment,

they'd be the best bartender...

for our bar.

By the way, why isn't there a sign on the outside?

The sign is not put up on purpose.

It's our bar's concept.

A hidden secret bar.

A bar which only people who know about it comes feels more special.

That's why we tried not to show that there is a bar here.

People are not supposed to post...

pictures taken here online. They can't post the address either.

Do you mean like a speakeasy bar?

That's right.

It's a concept Na Na came up with.

It seems like our head bartender knows only one thing, not the other.

If you go to bars imitating speakeasy nowadays,

they still have a sign.

They just hid the entrance.

But haven't you thought of the fact that the customers...

who've made an effort to come here would struggle to find the bar?

It's not like there is a proper address.

We could say that the sign is a copy of speakeasy,

but why isn't there a menu either?

We listen to the customer's preference...

and try to make a cocktail that they'd like.

And of course we can also make any cocktail sold...

in other bars.

But wouldn't it be harder for customers...

to explain their preference if it's their first time?

It'd be easier to choose one from the menu.

And how long has the interior been...

worked for? It's too crumbly.

Was it like this when you started to work here?

We should rework everything.

(Dan Hee: Na Na, you should come here.)

(Only 28 available in the whole world)

(Buy crystal glass)

(Na Na)

Ta-da!

Choose one.

I want a martini.

You can't have a martini. Choose 1 from the 3.

I can only make these three.

There's none.

In that case...

In 1, 2, 3.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Na Na,

I'm being serious.

Do you want me to open a bar for you in the future?

Would your dad allow that?

As if he would care.

I'll open a fancy bar,

and you'll be the head bartender.

I'm expensive, Ma'am.

How much?

A lot.

Deal.

Because I have nothing but money.

There is one more.

Let's take a picture.

In 1, 2, 3.

The light was dark.

What brings you here?

I received a request regarding interior remodeling.

Sorry? Remodeling?

Yes.

- You're here. - Hello.

You came early, Dan Hee. I called him.

- Would you care to step inside? - Thank you.

- Hello. - Na Na.

Didn't you see my message?

I'm sorry.

Ms. Lee seems to want to remodel the bar.

Has it been run by you?

What?

[Kocowa Ver] MBC E02 'XX' -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-

You're here.

You came earlier that I thought.

Say hello to him.

This is Mr. Park Han Sol who be in charge of the remodeling.

This is head bartender, Na Na.

I didn't ask for remodeling.

I called him.

Last time, you've done some remodeling for Number A...

and it turned out great, right?

- I look forward to it this time. - Okay.

Can I have a word with you?

- Can we talk later? - Now will be better.

I'm sorry. We have to discuss something.

There's a cafe right across that makes a good coffee.

Could you wait for me there?

- Dan Hee. - Yes?

Can you show him the way to the cafe?

Right.

This is a sample.

This one lamp costs...

around 5,000 dollars.

Overall, it looks quite old...

and the furniture looks tacky for now,

but if we start changing these things,

it'll look better soon.

People with a good sense of style easily notice this.

If you want to attract customers who easily spend money,

you should pay attention to these kinds of things.

If you have time to care about this,

pay more attention to alcohol.

Alcohol? Of course, it's important.

That's why I'm paying you that much.

But this business doesn't only concern...

the taste of alcohol.

You need modern interior that impresses them at the entrance.

Some cocktail with a pretty and fancy design...

that attracts them to take pictures of it.

Also, some expensive furniture and lighting...

that they can never dream of buying.

If they also hear that some celebrities visit here,

this place will become popular on social media in no time.

Now I see...

why your bar is failing.

Being popular on social media? That's good.

But do you even have some regulars?

If you want some pictures out, why do you run a bar, not a gallery?

And 5,000 dollars?

So what if it's expensive?

It's so bright you can't even see the color of cocktail.

Hey.

It almost blinds you.

Look at this chair. Not to mention its design,

isn't it stainless steel?

Customers with short skirts can't even sit on it.

Look how low this footrest is.

You don't even consider short customers.

It's fancy outside, but hollow.

There's no thoughtful consideration.

It's just like you.

Lee Roo Mi, listen.

I care about this bar more than I thought.

It's not fair if I leave what I love behind...

just because of you.

If you promise me to leave my bar alone,

I'll stay here with you.

That's a long speech for saying you want to save your pride.

Why would I save my pride?

There are too many bars that want me for me to do that.

On the other hand, your sales is behind Courtney...

which is hurting your pride.

So,

don't touch anything in my bar if you want to keep me.

Whatever you do about the bar, run it by me.

It's hard to tell who's the owner and the employee.

You think you have the upper hand because you're the owner, right?

Think carefully...

who'd feel sorry.

If you want to make your second bar successful,

know your place.

Try to keep me.

Dan Hee, I'm sorry about yesterday.

- Weren't you busy working alone? - It's okay.

I was worried that you get fired.

I had an interview with Ms. Lee but I didn't get fired.

An interview?

Yes, it was a very intense interview.

An intense interview?

What did you do? What did she ask you to do?

She asked me to make a cocktail.

Like when we got the license.

How much does she think she knows about alcohol?

Na Na.

If I make a joke, you should respond to it.

What if you never get better at swinging?

What? Why are you talking about baseball now?

I'm kidding.

- I didn't have an interview. - I see.

I just talked to her.

We signed an employment contract which we'd been postponing.

I told her I've been working for two years...

and she gave me a big raise.

Hello.

- Where would you want to sit? - Is Lee Roo Mi here?

Hey, you're here.

- Have a seat. - Take this.

To congratulate on your new bar.

You didn't have to. Thank you.

How was the business trip? You must be tired.

No, I slept enough on the plane. I'm fine.

Say hi.

This is our bartender, Dan Hee.

This is head bartender, Na Na.

The one you wanted to get?

Hello.

I heard a lot about you from Roo Mi.

I'm Roo Mi's boyfriend, Jung Gyu Min.

Hello.

Please take good care of her.

It's not because she's my girlfriend...

but she's a hard worker and cares a lot about her employees.

You sound silly.

Gyu Min, now that you're here, look how good our head bartender is.

You can't have this good alcohol but here.

I took a sip, and it was amazing.

Can you make him one, Na Na?

Well, sure.

It's a welcome drink for you.

I drove here.

I have to drive today.

I'll drink more next time to catch up for today instead.

- Is that okay? - Yes.

I'll leave work now too.

Let's catch up tomorrow.

- Wait. - Why?

- You look pretty. - Let's go.

Did anyone sit here?

Mr. Park. He had an errand to run, so I gave him a ride.

- I see. - Why?

Is it uncomfortable? Should I push the chair?

It's okay. I got it.

Thank you.

- Open the glove compartment. - The glove compartment?

- What is this? - I thought it'd look good on you.

I bought it.

It's a perfume.

I love its scent.

I've never seen this brand. Where did you get it?

I got it on my business trip.

There was a perfume store around my hotel.

Then it's a French brand.

I love it.

Thank you. I'll make a good use of it.

Did you get another?

It's for my mom.

Tomorrow's my mom's birthday.

Right.

I should go to a department store tomorrow.

Can't we see the movie tomorrow then?

Right.

Sorry. I'll have a family dinner tomorrow.

- What do we do? - We have no choice.

I'll see you next time.

How's the bar remodeling going?

I'll think about it.

The employees are against it so much.

If they are, are you going to drop it?

I'm still thinking.

About what?

If I should be a good employer who listens to her employees...

or a cold employer who doesn't even shed a single tear.

By the way, that Battery,

she's not my girlfriend.

Really? Then who is it?

You know I played baseball.

She's a friend of a pitcher at the time.

We call a pitcher and a cather together as Battery.

We're quite close, so it was just a joke.

I see.

I knew it somehow.

I don't have a girlfriend.

Didn't you say you do whenever customers were flirty?

It's the simplest way.

What about the part...

you met her at the bar where she worked?

Detailed stories sell better.

I should use that too.

Why was I sure you had a girlfriend?

I'm just asking,

but are you going to quit?

- Why? - Well,

If you quit,

the job will get harder, so I want to know beforehand.

I thought you were asking out of fellowship.

That too. We're Battery at the bar.

You're right.

Are you friends with Ms. Lee?

Yes.

We were five years ago.

Why is it past tense?

I abandoned her.

Well,

I thought I abandoned her.

But now that I see it,

I just ran away at that time.

So, this time...

I'm not running away.

(XX)

Let me take you to the bar.

My wife doesn't know how to drink cocktail, only cheap drinks.

You hear all kind of nasty stories working as a bartender,

and you still get furious when there's a cheating scene.

Are you going to get revenge on behalf of her?

- What could go wrong? - Gyu Min.

I'm going to Busan for an urgent business trip.

Are you going alone?

I'm so busy because I was assigned to a big case with Lim.

- Hello. I'm Lim Jang Mi. - Didn't he tell you?

I don't want to date.

I don't like relationships.
