CHILD ACTORS HAVE FILMED SAFELY UNDER PARENTAL SUPERVISION

SCENES INVOLVING ANIMALS WERE FILMED SAFELY WITH EXPERT ADVICE AND COOPERATION

How about some breakfast?

Since fate brought us together.

I brought something for a hangover.

Bambi is so cute. Has she been adopted?

How does it taste?

Good.

-About last night-- -He's a real pain when drunk, isn't he?

He clings to you and passes out.

Then nothing wakes him up, right?

Hey.

Why do you like him?

Su-a, get up. I'll take you home.

Because he's wonderful.

I think…

he's the greatest person I know.

Are you mad?

You should be mad.

My ex just barged into my apartment.

You should've kicked my shins, not join us for breakfast.

I didn't want to make trouble for you.

She would've gotten the wrong idea.

Come on.

We were fully dressed.

Besides, when I'm drunk, I just sleep like a baby for six hours.

Lee Mi-do knows that better than anyone.

Not true.

Something happened between us.

Your acting's gotten good.

I almost believed you.

Thanks for seeing me home.

Hey, don't joke about stuff like that.

Come to think of it.

Your door lock passcode being your ex's birthday

does annoy me.

We're here, okay?

LEE MI-DO

-Take your shoes off. -I don't want to.

Hold on, wait a second. Almost there.

Lie down here.

Here you go.

Mr. Namgung.

I lied to you again.

I want to make you happy…

every single second

we spend together,

not just for a second.

That's my goal.

I'll only stay for ten minutes.

Ten minutes is okay, right?

We need to talk.

We're broken up right now.

Don't apologize.

Who said I was apologizing?

Change your door lock code.

I'll change mine too.

And for the remaining time,

let's not visit each other's places.

I'll change it.

If you're done, please leave.

I don't want us visiting each other's places

starting right now.

I felt bad until I took Park Su-a home.

But on the way home, a thought hit me.

"Is this what she wanted?"

You said you wanted to get hurt.

How does it feel?

Like shit.

Disgusting.

What about you?

Do you feel good?

No.

It feels like shit.

And disgusting.

11. HOW DO WE LOVE, HOW DO WE LIVE?

Bambi is so cute. Has she been adopted?

BAMBI

LOVABLE BAMBI IS LOOKING FOR A NEW FAMILY

Come on, smile.

We'll break up in about ten days.

You're mean.

All right.

I get that you can't leave Namgung Ho.

I'll accept that.

You still have to keep seeing me for the remaining time.

No takebacks on that.

You can at least do that.

It's not like it's that hard.

Tell me if you've pulled any secret stunts.

Including digging into my past.

I haven't.

I really haven't.

Apart from looking into both your pasts.

Nothing else.

And your meds?

Are you taking them?

When did it start?

Meds won't cure my sociopathic tendencies.

They won't help.

You know that's not what I mean.

Can't you just pretend not to notice?

If I tell you,

will you sleep with me?

Ms. Lee.

Just so you know,

I'm not a minor.

And obviously, you're not either.

Two voting-age adults shouldn't be this innocent.

This is hurting the birth rate.

That was just…

a joke.

Just stay with me until I fall asleep.

Have a seat.

I think it's because of you.

It started out of nowhere four months ago.

There's really no other reason…

Then you should've come to Ahyeon-dong.

They found you in Myeong-dong, right?

I heard what the police said.

In the time we have left,

I'll find out for you.

I'll find out the reason

you keep going to Myeong-dong.

Why?

Because you feel sorry for me?

Because you'll dump me soon?

To ease your guilt?

No.

I hate seeing you suffer.

I just want you to stop hurting.

GEUMSEOK TEAHOUSE

-When did you start? -Last September.

So you joined my team because…

I needed the sample dates.

Is that really all?

Of course.

Why else would I join this team?

It could be because of someone.

Someone you've always dreamed of working with

and watched with a racing heart.

You joined to work with me.

I knew it.

A Hunmin Confectionery legend, the top recruit,

and the youngest lead behind Hot Chocolate Chips.

So you came to work with me.

I get it.

Now that I've shown you my hand,

please share what you found.

You want to cut a deal with just that?

Based on your time off,

you only started investigating two months ago.

You'd think you filmed the sweet potato swap or something.

How did you know?

I'd feel inadequate, too.

You started last year, while I only needed

two months to film the video.

Now you see why I'm the legend of Hunmin Confectionery?

Did you really film it?

I'll let you in on my plan.

On one condition.

Never trust that bastard Namgung Ho.

Deok-sun.

Your fantasy is all wrong.

A good man doesn't cook for you.

He treats you to fine dining.

I thought you might misunderstand,

so I'm telling you this now.

That bastard Namgung Ho isn't on our side.

He went over to Procurement long ago.

That bastard Namgung Ho

got me completely wasted and stole my work phone.

The footage is on it.

We have to find that phone.

It's definitely at Namgung Ho's place.

I want some banana milk.

I love having banana milk with my steak.

Some grease splattered on the floor.

And I love cleaning.

Wipe it clean.

Okay.

Did Ho-sik say to find his phone?

Is that guy delusional?

He got drunk and lost it, so why treat me like a thief?

That area is full of thieves who steal phones.

It's probably in Thailand or Vietnam by now.

Right?

He was mistaken, right?

I knew it!

I only looked just in case. I never believed him.

You and Procurement? No way.

I did get an offer.

I saw Jeong Yeon-ho rig the sugar test.

I tried to ignore it,

but they won't let it go.

Marlon Brando has this line in The Godfather.

"Keep your friends close,

but your enemies closer."

In the spirit of that,

after much thought, I have decided

to take you under my wing.

You really don't have to.

Pardon?

I'll pretend I didn't see anything.

I mean it.

I swear.

Does this sound like a joke to you?

Does it sound like I'm joking to you?

Look, I'm being serious here.

I'm offering you an opportunity. Don't you see?

Opportunity, my foot.

You messed up and I caught you,

so you're trying to cover it up.

Sure. I admit anyone would want a talent like mine on their team.

You've got the wrong idea.

This isn't damage control. I was--

It wasn't Marlon Brando. It was Al Pacino.

Pardon?

"Keep your friends close,

but your enemies closer."

Al Pacino said that.

That's from The Godfather Part II.

Marlon Brando dies in the first one.

You haven't seen it, have you?

Sorry. I spoiled it.

That's not the point right now.

You turned them down, right?

No.

I'm thinking about it.

Honestly, I was tempted.

For a guy with no connections, those chances don't come often.

I only hung out with them to test the waters.

I don't think I can eat with you.

I'll be going now.

What are you doing?

Nothing worked.

I tried your birthday, your phone number,

the release date of The 13th Season, and your hire date.

How do you know my hire date when I don't?

You're unbelievable.

Do I really know nothing about you?

I'm hungry.

I should eat before I go.

What was my hire date?

March 12, 2018.

Do you know my first department?

-Sales. -Are you stalking me?

I heard it from Sang-hun.

I checked with Sales about the survey, and he said you were from Sales.

That's how I know.

It's true.

Then do you also know…

that I spent a year in Sales being an outcast?

I was their star rookie.

The top sales team groomed me as their star recruit.

Two months in, I landed a retail deal and doubled our sales.

Back then, I thought…

I'd make director at least.

About six months into the job?

We had team drinks with a buyer,

and he gave little cash envelopes to our team members.

But I said I was okay and declined.

And starting the next day,

things started happening that weren't okay at all.

Let me see your finger.

It was 300,000 won. Just 300,000 won.

In that envelope.

I was so bitter.

My conscience was only worth 300,000 won.

So this time, I'm going to sell it for a lot more.

Well?

Do you still think I'm wonderful?

Park Su-a, you don't know me as well as you think.

I'm not the person you think I am.

Make sure you remember that.

And that…

fantasies don't exist in this world.

RAW MATERIAL MARGIN CALCULATION

HUNMIN CONFECTIONERY SWEET POTATO SCANDAL RELATIONSHIP MAP

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR YOON

I'm not the person you think I am.

Make sure you remember that.

And…

There's no fantasy in this world.

Su-a, have some fruit…

Did she go take a shower?

Rookie director Tak Se-yeong's film,

When I Woke Up in the Morning, I Was a Dirt-Poor Job Seeker in Korea,

also known as "Dirt-Poor Job Seeker,"

passed two million tickets in just two months,

becoming the year's biggest hit.

I checked the places you said you've gone to

in the past four months.

-A sleeper hit… -You weren't wandering.

You were heading somewhere.

…the lead, a crown prince in a fictional kingdom,

crosses over to Korea…

Do you have any special memories of Myeong-dong?

With its fresh premise and unique world-building,

it earned praise…

Are you listening?

Director Tak Se-yeong…

I remember.

…recognized for tight plotting and genre instincts,

has become Chungmuro's most-watched rookie director--

You know,

when the news talks about someone else winning a lawsuit,

it just really annoys me, too.

Ugh, so annoying!

Still not smiling?

What will make you smile?

I love seeing you smile.

WOLMIDO AMUSEMENT PARK

Stop!

Wait!

You can get on now.

You coming?

I can't ride it anymore.

No way.

No.

No, I hate it. I can't.

I mean, I won't.

You said you wanted to see me smile and would do anything.

For the record,

I never said I'd do anything.

I asked what would make you smile.

Why don't we…

Oh.

Go get food?

Sashimi? How about sashimi?

Rockfish.

Rockfish is great. You in?

I'll ride it alone. You go eat your rockfish.

Wait, hold on. Wait a second!

Isn't 12 times enough already?

How many more rides--

I can't shake the fear.

After ten times, I usually feel fine.

But no matter how much I ride, the fear won't go away.

First…

Let's get some nausea medicine.

Put your hands up!

Put my hands up?

HAEON HALL

Hey, did you see that movie? What was it? When I Woke Up Today?

No, wait. Maybe When I Woke Up?

What was that title again?

Oh, "Dirt-Poor Job Seeker."

Oh, right. Is the director really a rookie?

Its mise-en-scène is better than Park Chan-wook's.

Tak Jackson made it big.

Oh, he was a college classmate.

That nerd finally made it big. That's just like him.

What should I do?

I should just…

-Want me to tell them to shut up? -Don't you dare.

I'll kill you.

I told you this once.

That you should get back up if you feel embarrassed.

But the truth is, I only stood up.

I haven't taken a single step.

It's an unfamiliar path, and I'm terrified.

Most of all, I'm exhausted.

Passion, energy…

Those are long gone.

I don't even have courage, let alone confidence.

Everyone around me is doing so well.

It terrifies me that deep down I want them to fail.

And that I'm too petty to celebrate their success.

I'm scared because I'm still not sure if this is the right path for me.

But turning back is even scarier.

If you think I'm pathetic, so be it.

This is

just who I am right now.

Oh, no.

I think I really like you.

Get up.

I think I know exactly what to do for you.

I'll do it.

Let's go.

This is supposed to help me?

WHEN I WOKE UP IN THE MORNING, I WAS A DIRT-POOR JOB SEEKER IN KOREA

Yeah.

You'd be scared to watch it alone.

So I'm watching it with you.

We can leave if you want.

Even five minutes is fine.

You'll dump me when our month is over anyway.

So who cares if you feel humiliated?

Why worry about pride?

We won't see each other again, right?

Don't say that.

If it makes you upset, let me hold your hand.

You'll be less scared, and I…

I'll just like it.

I told you not to follow me.

I take back what I said.

What is pathetic is not this planet…

but me, for running my mouth without knowing how you feel.

Less scary with me, right?

How long do I have to eat in silence?

Just don't let Sang-su catch you.

He's a teenager.

Even if he's chill like me,

your genes make him hold grudges.

Frankly, it's not like you're remarrying.

Even if he finds out, he won't care.

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm very happy.

I'm not crying because I'm hung up on you.

Why are you such a mess?

Couldn't you do better?

Hey.

I feel bad being the only happy one.

I thought

I just wanted to brag to you.

Guess I was wrong.

I guess…

I wanted you to congratulate me.

"Midori4882" was you?

Air out the place.

I'm allergic to cats.

How did you find my post about Bambi?

None of your business.

I'm going to ask you three questions.

Whatever they are, I won't answer them.

Namgung Ho did drag in middle school. I'll show you.

First, why did Namgung Ho move to Procurement?

Second, who got disciplined for Namgung's mudflat accident?

Third, the night you stayed at his place,

who drank with Namgung Ho?

I can't tell you that.

He's really cute in drag.

I am curious, sure.

But you have no right to know.

You're only doing this to ease your own guilt.

Yes, you're right.

What's wrong with that?

You really have no shame.

Then again,

I knew you had no shame when I saw you eat Coco Jelly.

Why bring up Coco Jelly?

Coco Jelly

is a Happy Confectionery product.

After his rice-cake chicken was ruined by Happy Confectionery,

he never eats their products.

Coco Jelly are the only gummies I eat since middle school.

Blame Hunmin Confectionery for not making better gummies than Coco Jelly!

If it makes you that mad, step up and make one yourself.

The Candy Department handles gummies. I'm in the Snack Department!

I don't want to talk anymore. Please leave.

I came for you.

-I was curious about you. -Why?

Why are you curious?

I wonder, too.

Why am I so curious about you?

Pulling a crazy stunt like this,

and coming all the way here.

Why am I so freaking curious about you?

Let's just say this is why I came today.

Give it back. It's mine.

No, it isn't. It's mine.

Namgung Ho drew it, so it's his,

and what's his is mine, so this is mine too.

No, it's mine.

He drew it for me, so it's mine!

-Give it back! Damn it! -Let go!

-I said it's mine! -It's mine!

-No! -Damn it!

Let go!

-Hey! -Hey!

Damn it, seriously!

-Hey! -Hey!

Give it to me!

I said it's mine!

Are you insane? What is this even…

Can't you…

just give it to me?

I know I have no right.

And I know I have no shame.

But could you just give it to me?

I've been looking for it forever.

I wanted it so badly.

Please.

Can't I have it?

I'd been looking for it forever.

I wanted it so badly.

Huge news, guys!

-Manager Jeong lost it yesterday. -That's not huge news.

He causes trouble every other day.

But this one's pretty big.

He got drunk with a client and clocked him in the jaw.

Serves him right.

I hope he gets sued.

They're already threatening to sue.

Mr. Namgung went to beg.

-What? -Pardon?

Yeah, he's there right now.

This was attempted murder. You hear me?

DAEPYEONG MILLING

Forget that.

Rewrite the contract with a 15% bump.

And don't even think about getting on your knees.

I don't have any sympathy for that.

Got it?

I have no intention to.

I hate humiliating myself.

You have a cool name.

CEO CHOI YEONG-DO

Stop! What are you doing?

Don't! No, stop!

Stop, don't!

No!

I guess CEO Choi was really mad.

CEO CHOI YEONG-DO

-Are you okay? -Thank you.

You bastard! Are you crazy?

Look at the blood!

You crazy bastard.

I'm fine.

If this helps calm your anger,

I'm ready to take more hits.

No.

That's not true.

I didn't throw that!

Let's call it even for yesterday's assault.

I'll see you at the next meeting.

MANAGER EOM HO-SIK

PROCUREMENT NEVER RESTS

YOU DIDN'T MESS UP, RIGHT?

Should a manager really be slacking off in broad daylight?

After a six-month pay cut

and being passed over for promotion,

I've earned some slacking off.

Damn it.

If only I hadn't lost that phone.

I caught them red-handed.

Hey, did you really not take that phone?

The thieves who took your phone were pros.

It was probably pawned and shipped across the Pacific.

No, it's definitely still in Korea.

Even if I have to search every pawnshop,

I'll definitely find it.

Change your mind while you can.

I don't know why you suddenly want to play Superman.

Just be Superman for Su-min.

My daughter Su-min

went to the International Luce Piano Competition.

It's quite a mouthful.

She made it to the finals again.

That's why I have to make director.

Otherwise, I can't support her.

So I will make director.

I can't help you.

I thought that material disposal audit

made my position clear enough.

I know you did that on purpose to stop me.

That's not true.

I did it to impress Procurement.

Would being on their good side make you happy?

I didn't call you here to join me.

I called you to stop you from doing what you're doing.

The next batter's up.

I'll get going.

PRIME ON CONVENIENCE STORE

I touched it earlier, and it opened up.

It's only two stitches.

They said it won't scar.

Transfer to another department.

I can't get you back on the TF team this year.

Unless we find Manager Eom's phone.

There are more files to investigate.

So request a transfer.

Forget it. It's too much trouble.

It's for Ms. Lee, right?

You live like this,

enduring this misery,

all for Ms. Lee, right?

Why are you bringing her up?

Because Lee Mi-do puts a brake on your life.

Stopping the investigation,

enduring all this humiliation working in Procurement,

and even…

dating me when your heart wasn't in it…

It was all for Lee Mi-do, wasn't it?

Does she even know?

That you're dying inside because of her?

That your life is completely colorless? Does she have any idea?

Park Su-a, stop it. You're crossing the line.

Then I'll cross it even further.

Without Lee Mi-do in your life, you have nothing, right?

You're completely empty, aren't you?

Don't live like that.

Please don't live an empty life

with nothing of your own,

all for Lee Mi-do.

Say that again.

Say what you just said again.

Without Lee Mi-do in your life, you have nothing, right?

You're completely empty, aren't you?

Yes, you're right.

To me, Lee Mi-do is everything.

And since she's my everything, I'd do anything for her.

Even if she loves another man?

And she leaves you for him?

Yes.

I'll wait for her.

Because she'll come back to me.

Actually,

it's fine even if she doesn't.

Like you said, I'm nothing without Lee Mi-do.

Without her,

I wouldn't even be here to begin with, so…

don't act like you know anything about me.

My life is shitty enough, so don't you dare pity me.

Are you disappointed?

Yes.

I am.

But…

I still think you're wonderful.

Seeing you love someone with all your heart

frustrates me.

And it makes me so mad.

Yet you're still so amazing.

You're truly wonderful.

50 GOOD THINGS ABOUT NAMGUNG HO

1. HE TAKES CHARGE AND SOLVES EVERY CRISIS

2. HE KEEPS HIS MANNERS EVEN WITH THOSE HE DISLIKES

Do you hate that she's remarrying?

Keep it down. Sang-su will hear you.

He knows.

What?

You know too?

You too?

Honestly, I thought I was a pretty chill ex.

But I couldn't even congratulate her.

Oh, man.

Then go get her back.

You still love her, don't you?

Go get her back.

Come on.

Are you crazy?

It can't be helped.

Don't worry about it.

Just take good care of your wife.

Yes, sir.

Cut the bullshit about falling over.

What happened?

It's nothing. Don't worry about it.

Is something wrong?

Is it because of him?

You like her, don't you?

You like Park Su-a,

don't you?

Where is this coming from?

Hey, who do you think I…

Forget it. Drop it.

Don't tell Yeong-do or Wan-do.

They'll only worry.

Stop liking her.

Stop liking her.

Wake me up at 9:00 a.m.

I can't miss this.

I don't want you to regret it like I do.

You know what I did…

to Bo-ra.

Whatever.

Stop worrying and go to sleep.

QUEENS HAIR SALON

Park Su-a caught the kid who stole my phone.

She found the pawnshop and is on her way there.

My wife's appendix burst, so I can't go.

Gangs run places like that, so it's dangerous.

Please go check on her.

Su-a won't listen to me.

The pirate ship.

Let's go ride the pirate ship.

You have left the route. Recalculating.

You like Park Su-a, don't you?

Mr. Namgung.

I want to make you happy

every single second

we spend together,

not just for a second.

That's my goal.

Got that old lady's money?

Oh, right. Shit.

I got caught red-handed.

I don't think she's a cop,

but she's crazy.

FRIENDLY DAILY LOANS

I'll make this quick.

Wednesday, April 22, 7:22.

Outside Exit 1 of Sindaebang Station, a man in his forties--

actually, more like his fifties-- was waiting for a driver.

You stole his phone, right?

Give it back.

This girl's got no fear.

To catch this girl,

I stayed up three nights at Sindaebang Station.

So I have no sense of fear at this point.

Return the phone, and I'll leave quietly.

Lady, as soon you set foot in here,

leaving quietly stopped being an option.

I had a good hand, too.

POLICE

Hello?

Go ahead.

Are you in danger?

Hello? Go ahead.

Are you in danger?

Good thing I had this ready.

Hello?

I'd like to report a pawnshop that sells stolen phones.

I have evidence, too.

The location is…

Are you that scared?

Are you really that scared of Namgung Ho

liking her?

What can I do so you won't be scared?

How about trying to like me more?

Try to like me…

more than Namgung Ho.

I'll treat you right.

Please just like me.

Who took your files?

You'll get in trouble if you keep getting involved.

Why can't you give in even once?

I'm the one who gives in to you.

You tore open my deepest wound, and I'm still seeing you.

Hilarious. Mi-do really is giving in.

I'm the one who wants to completely forget about someone like you, got that?

Then let's both try hard to forget.

I take back telling you

to stop liking her.
