- Nice to meet you. - I'm Byun Hye Young.

Ms. Byun, pleased to meet you.

- Thanks for coming, Mr. Nam. - Sure.

Thank you for coming.

Are you ready? Let's start now.

Cue!

We'll discuss various topics on love and marriage.

You're watching "Love and Battlefield".

Based on various stories,

we'll have a fun and instructive discussion.

Today, it's a story of someone who fell for a girl's appearance...

I got a message.

We're over.

(Calling)

She gets angry when she's late.

She's the one who's done wrong.

- She's not answering. - The number you have dialed...

How late are you going to be?

I'll save your spot. Don't make excuses and just come.

If you're going to be really late, should I change tickets?

It's not a joke.

I'm not kidding.

The message means literally what it says. Let's break up.

Don't call me again.

Hye Young. Wait. Hello?

Did she hang up?

Gosh.

The phone has been turned off.

Move away, please.

Hye Young.

What's wrong?

Did I do something to upset you?

Even if I did, I wouldn't know if you don't tell me.

Hye Young.

I promise to change.

It's all my fault.

Please. Let's meet, Hye Young.

Come out, will you?

Byun Hye Young.

Why on earth are you doing this to me?

Hey. Byun Hye Young. Come out this instant.

I'll break up with you if that's what you want. Just come out.

Hey. Byun...

Who are you? She's not here right now.

I know she's inside.

She's really not here.

She went to Australia on a working holiday visa.

Are you laughing? How could you?

Next, I'd like to move on the Attorney Byun Hye Young.

- Can he be legally punished? - Yes.

He can be punished for stalking and blackmail.

The opponent clearly expressed refusal.

However, this person continued to harass the victim.

That applies to stalking.

Also, the threatening messages can be considered as blackmail.

Stalking is yet considered a misdemeanor.

Even if the defendant were to be punished, he'll be fined 80 dollars.

Would reporting this to the police...

realistically be helpful?

- That's true. - That makes sense.

That's a good point.

That's why in order for this person to get a stronger sentence,

I claimed that he should be punished for both stalking and blackmail.

A law to prevent continuous harassment has recently...

been proposed to the National Assembly.

- Really? - That's good news.

I didn't know about that.

Gosh.

That was a close call. She did a great job.

It wasn't even his turn to speak.

I see. We were able to learn about problems in the current laws...

as well as effective ways to deal with these issues.

Now, I'd like to move on to the next story.

Just before getting married,

the groom found out that the bride had plastic surgery...

on her whole body.

He then called off the wedding but was sued for alimony.

What I don't understand the most...

is why she made it look like I was a shameless guy...

who only cared about looks to my colleagues and friends...

when she was the one that was deliberately deceiving me.

She's caused me great damage.

Do I still have to pay her alimony?

Now that we've heard about the situation,

can we hear your thoughts on this?

I believe he must pay the alimony.

In court,

we still don't consider appearance a proper reason for divorce.

In other words, demanding to call off the wedding...

because of plastic surgery is not considered a justifiable cause.

Therefore, I believe he should pay alimony...

for the psychological anguish that he caused.

I don't think he should have to pay alimony.

Not only did the bride intentionally hide the fact...

that she had plastic surgery, after he found out,

she continued to accuse the groom of caring only about looks.

He clearly had the right to feel betrayed by her behavior.

This isn't just about a person's appearance.

She's right. That's exactly what I would like to say.

A married couple should be honest to each other...

and is obligated not to deceive one another.

This couple has come to this unfortunate situation...

because one has lost trust towards the other,

not because of the groom's obsession about looks.

If the bride had just been honest with him from the beginning,

things would have been different.

If she had been honest from the beginning,

I'm sure he wouldn't have started the relationship.

Excuse me.

Earlier...

you mentioned that you met her because she was pretty, right?

Yes, I did.

I don't mean to criticize you.

I am obsessed with appearance and like beautiful women too.

I don't mean to criticize you,

but the point at issue here...

isn't his distorted view of women.

It's about whether he should be responsible for paying the alimony.

That's exactly what I was intending to say.

Let's make an assumption.

What if your wife lied that she was penniless before marriage?

After getting married, however,

she reveals that she has an asset worth one million dollars.

In this case, she has also deceived her husband,

so could this also be considered a cause for divorce?

I believe you don't quite understand the term deception.

What I'm trying to say is...

that the loss of trust isn't the true nature of the problem.

The reason why the trust was lost is the true nature.

In other words, he's not upset because he was deceived,

but because...

she lied about her appearance.

That's why he broke off the wedding,

so I believe it's only right that he pay the alimony.

- That's a good point. - I agree.

That's true.

- He's right. - He's right.

He's good.

- Isn't that right? - It's right.

(Gabi Entertainment Interview Room)

The next interviewees will be...

Joo Su Bin, Kang Young Hee, and Kim Mi Ra.

Please go in.

My day begins with...

checking the recruiting websites as soon as I wake up.

I search in hope to see whether I've passed an interview...

or whether a new job opening has been posted.

I haven't let my phone leave my eyesight...

for the past three years.

I've acquired a CPR certification,

a class-one driver's license for large vehicles,

a sports trainer license and so forth.

I worked to acquire all sorts of licenses.

However, it wasn't very helpful.

Raise your arm higher.

I was once a member of the Judo team that represented our province.

The time I won bronze medal at the National Sports Festival...

in high school was the best moment in my life.

However, not long after, due to a severe shoulder injury,

I had no choice but to quit Judo.

After quitting, I experienced a sudden weight gain.

Also, I suffered after effects such as shoulder pains on rainy days...

and visibly unbalanced breasts.

I had to go through hard times...

suffering from these serious after effects.

However, at some point,

I was able to bring out the strength and courage in me.

Although I'm still a job applicant for my third straight year,

considering that I was strong enough to rise above my difficulties,

I refuse to give up easily and am confident that I can become...

a hardworking, sincere, and passionate employee.

Please give me this opportunity.

Park Ha Na, Kim Dong Jun, and Yang Ji Ho...

go in, please.

Excuse me.

Can I quickly use the restroom?

I promise to be quick.

- I'm sorry. Forgive me. - Gosh.

Forgive me.

(Team Manager Kim Yoo Joo)

Kim Yoo Joo?

Gosh.

Gosh, the smell of pork.

The next interviewees will be...

Lee Eun Ha, Son Young Jung, and Byun Mi Young.

- Yes. - Go in, please.

Yes.

I have to concentrate.

- Lee Eun Ha? - Yes.

I see here you can speak English, Japanese, and Chinese.

This is impressive. You graduated from the University of Pennsylvania?

Yes, that's right.

You have impressive qualifications.

Why did you particularly apply for Gabi Entertainment?

I've always wanted to work in...

the entertainment industry.

As Hallyu has proved to the world,

I believe that the Korean entertainment industry...

has infinite potential.

- Son Young Jung? - Yes.

I noticed that you left your job at S Electronics after a year.

It's a company that everyone dreams of joining.

I've admired Gabi Entertainment for a long time.

To be exact, I admired the artists of Gabi Entertainment.

Deep down inside, I have quite a fanatic side in me.

This is the most impressive reason for applying.

Byun Mi Young.

Yes.

I see you were a Judo athlete. You represented your province?

You seem to have a small frame.

I competed in the 52kg weight division.

Is that the lightest weight division?

No. There's also the 48kg division.

I see. I'm sure you have perseverance being an athlete.

Yes. I have great perseverance.

Some consider me a fool...

because I endure difficulties so well.

But you seem a bit old. You're 31 years old.

She's the age of an assistant manager rather than an intern.

That's true.

You could possibly get married not long after you join the company.

Do you have a boyfriend?

No, I don't.

I've never had a boyfriend in the past,

nor do I have one now. I don't plan to have one in the future as well.

My goal isn't to get married.

I want to be able to wear an employee ID and work hard.

How does it feel to be outdone?

Bring it on.

How long has it been?

Are you going senile? We saw each other a few days ago.

We just bumped into each other then.

This isn't any different.

It has been eight years, right?

Since the ridiculous phone call in front of the movie theater that day.

Is that right?

That sounds about right.

Do you know how hard I've tried to track you down since that day?

Do I have to know?

You're making me speechless.

Right, you don't have to know.

No.

That's not true. You do have to know.

I got dumped for no reason.

I at least need to know why I got dumped.

Why did you dump me?

Just so you know, it's not that I'm not over you...

or I'm trying my luck at getting back together. Don't get me wrong.

I'm not thinking either of those.

I have that much discernment.

I'm so very glad to hear that you have enough discernment.

I just want to know the reason.

It's not like you're a lizard and I'm your tail.

How could you cut me off so violently and rudely?

Why did you cut me off?

Why did you dump me?

I'm sorry.

I don't remember the reason.

What?

I said I don't remember it.

Who remembers the reason for every single breakup?

Besides, eight years is a pretty long time.

I have to get going.

It was very nice running into you...

after eight years.

What?

She doesn't remember?

What on earth does he want from me?

Why does he want to dig up what happened eight years ago?

What are you doing now?

Are you one of those shameless witnesses? How can you not remember?

Let go of my hand. Right now.

Just tell me the reason.

Why did you dump me?

There you are, both of you.

I was worried thinking you might've already left.

You did such a great job today. Not only are you eloquent,

but you also look amazing on screen.

I know. I'm quite pretty.

Thank you for today.

No problem. Thank you for the great work.

I hope to see you again.

Look at you.

You were so good.

Do you want to come back?

- If you want to... - I don't want to.

We have to do it no matter what.

Of course we have to do it. Why are you even asking?

You said you only want to do miniseries.

I said I don't want to do daily dramas, not 30-episode series.

Also, 30 episodes in total is considered miniseries.

Are 30-episode ones really considered miniseries?

That's right. They sure are. Who's the writer?

The one who wrote "Descendants of Mars".

Really? I'm getting a good feeling about this.

I even like the title. "Oh My Boss".

Joong Hee, you have to be auditioned though.

What...

All right.

I'll do it. That's no problem. You know what?

Even actors in Hollywood get auditioned for roles.

You don't even know, do you? I know.

Who will be my co-star?

Hey, I thought this was a romantic comedy.

No, it's not. It's about a father and a son.

It's a story about what happens after the father gets cancer...

I see. That's why you asked which actress you'll be working with.

No, no.

It's a miniseries. I have to do it.

Sure thing. It's a miniseries.

Joong Hee, why aren't you eating by the way?

What? There's nothing to eat here.

What?

There's this steak. This sweet and sour tofu is good too.

This salad is also very fresh...

Don't you think this meat is as tough as bark?

This tofu dish is too soggy, and this salad is...

A barrel of sugar must've gone into this dressing.

I have no idea what to eat.

Then have some salmon. I brought a lot of it because you like it.

When it comes to salmon, freshness is key.

Look at the color. Look at this.

Do you think I'd want to touch it? No way.

- Right. - Don't talk to me.

All right.

Today's entertainment.

Actor Ahn Joong Hee's bad acting...

put him back in the spotlight.

It ranked fifth in the real-time keyword ranking.

His terrible acting at the beginning of his acting career...

which earned him the nickname, Robot,

is still remembered as the epitome of bad acting.

Shall we take a look at who's next?

They're still going on about it. It's from so long ago.

Joong Hee, just hang in there for a few days.

People will forget about it soon.

Cha Jeong Hwan, that jerk...

I will not forget your name until the day I end up in my coffin.

So when is the audition?

I'm home.

Hey, did the show go well? Go wash up. Let's have dinner.

I don't feel like eating.

You still have to eat.

Go wash your hands.

Okay.

There you are.

How was the show?

Just watch it when it airs.

It must've gone badly.

Knowing you...

Knowing you, if you did a good job,

you'd be tooting your own horn right now.

What does that mean?

Oh, it means she'd be bragging about it now.

Stop using so much slang.

Did you do a bad job?

Of course not. Just watch it when it airs.

I'm totally drained. I don't even want to talk.

Right, it must've been so nerve-wracking and draining.

I'll stop asking you. Just eat.

Oh, right. You should eat this too. It's delicious.

How did your interview with Gabi go?

I told you to keep it to yourself.

Mi Young, did you have a job interview today?

Why didn't you tell us?

Did it go well?

Yes. I think the interview itself went well, but...

Don't get your hopes up though.

It's not even one of the top 10 companies, you know.

But all the applicants have crazy credentials. It's unreal.

I went on the show...

and utterly humiliated myself.

What do ex-boyfriends mean to me? They're the bane of my existence.

I'd love to either throw his head to the sharks...

or put it in a container filled with air...

contaminated by radioactive materials for just 18 minutes.

You little unworthy piece of trash.

I curse you!

I'm sorry.

Kim Yoo Joo?

I can't believe it.

How did someone like her manage to score such a good job?

It's so unfair. I mean, I'm still unemployed.

No.

I should just sleep. Don't even think about anything.

Even the fact that I can't sleep because of her infuriates me.

I need to sleep.

How on earth did Kim Yoo Joo get such a good job?

What are you doing at this hour?

I can't fall asleep.

Don't look at me.

I don't want any eye contact with you guys.

I cannot get attached to you guys.

Hurry up. You're killing me!

Gosh, come on!

Ra Young, don't break the door down!

Hye Young, hurry up. It looks like Ra Young really needs to go.

Do it at Grandma's place.

- Hey! - Ra Young.

Hye Young, can you come out for a minute?

Do you need more time?

I don't know.

You!

Ra Young, go to Grandma's place.

You should've gotten up when I was trying to wake you up.

- I will kill you! - Ra Young, please.

Seriously.

Can't we just have a calm morning even once?

Goodness.

They make a fuss when just two people go to work in the morning.

I'm worried what would happen...

if Mi Young and I go to work too.

Dad would love...

to worry about that as soon as possible, you know.

What are you doing here at this early hour?

Why...

did you dump me?

Are you crazy, Cha Jeong Hwan?

Don't you remember yet? Have you thought about it at night?

Gosh.

Think about it.

I'll come back later.

You must be really crazy.

Why are you doing this?

Comparing to what you did to me eight years ago.

It's nothing.

I'll visit you until you tell me the reason you dumped me.

You'd better think about it if you want to have done with this.

Think about why you dumped me.

How are you?

Good morning.

It's been so long...

since I had a breakfast with my son.

He comes home only once in a blue moon...

and goes out without having breakfast.

I really thought...

only journalists like you are busy.

I never imagined a producer would be this busy.

Did you know that?

Well,

how is the dried yellow corvina? I ordered it from a new dealer.

It's little saltier than the one we had before.

Honey.

Let's eat with some conversation.

You were busy when you were working,

but you're retired now.

Wouldn't it be nice to talk this and that while we eat?

I have been looking forward to a day that we could do that.

That's why I was waiting for the day you retired.

Have you finished the book?

Which book are you talking about?

"Beneath the Wheel".

You mean that book.

I stopped reading it.

I kept reading it, but the wheel didn't appear.

Gosh.

Would it appear if I read some more?

By the way,

do you have anything special today?

Do you?

Why?

I mean,

can you go to Ogeum-dong with me?

The interior execution of the cafe is almost done.

I want you to take a look at it.

If you like it, I'll open the cafe.

If you don't like it,

I'll decide...

whether I should sell the building.

From the start,

I told you not to buy that building.

What shall I do? I've already purchased it.

In addition,

I didn't purchase it for no reason.

I did it to prepare for our later years.

You don't care at all.

Did I buy that building to let this happen?

I feel shame.

I think "shame" would feel more shameful than you.

Don't use the word "shame" in this situation.

Will you...

go with me today?

Honey.

She's here.

She's here?

All right.

Don't worry. I'll be nice.

Don't ever touch this if you want to live!

From Mom.

Where are you going with a cake?

I have to take care of the problem you and I caused.

I have to meet the landlord and say sorry.

I will ask about the rent too.

I'll go with you.

I'll also take care of the problem you and I caused.

No, you'd better do nothing.

Don't borrow trouble.

Don't worry.

I have enough discernment.

- Come here. - Don't do this, Mom.

Don't worry.

I'm Kim Mal Boon of Mokcheok Market.

Please don't lose your temper.

The fate of my husband's store depends on us.

Gosh.

It would have been nice if he had come here with me.

He has such an ill temper.

He never gets old about that.

How are you, Ms. Oh?

Excuse me, zebra!

What brought you here?

Well,

I wanted to apologize.

I didn't recognize you last time.

I behaved rudely to you.

I wanted to visit you earlier,

but you were not in for the last few days.

The shop is really...

luxurious and beautiful.

However, such a luxurious cafe...

wouldn't prosper in this neighborhood.

What my mom is saying is...

that she's worried...

since the cafe is so nice and luxurious.

That's why I came here with a cake.

Please try some.

No, thank you.

I don't eat a cake from a local bakery.

I'm not a person of such a low-level.

No, Ms. Oh.

I bought it from a nearby bakery,

but the cakes there are really good.

I told you no thanks.

I don't eat a cake from such a local bakery.

I only eat cakes from famous bakeries.

I see.

Give it to me.

Don't you do that.

Give it to me.

You might do this and later say I overuse my power.

Then...

you can put it out there.

All right.

Also,

put out the one next to the door...

and the one next to it.

All right, all right.

My goodness. You shouldn't drag it.

You might scratch the floor.

You should lift it up.

That's good.

Well,

tell me if you want me to do something else.

Is there anything more to take out inside?

Why don't you listen to her?

She told you that she doesn't want to hear that she overuses her power.

Where are you going?

I want to drink some water.

By the way, Ms. Oh.

About the monthly rent,

you told us to pay 500 dollars more so suddenly,

but we can't afford to pay that.

Can't you be little accommodating to us?

As you know, everyone is in a slump.

The business is not going well.

You should give up business if it's not going well.

Why do you say that to me?

Right.

You're right about that, but...

And...

you don't have to worry.

I won't renew the contract with you.

What?

Why?

That's what I want.

You don't have to know why.

When the lease period is over,

vacate the store.

Excuse me, Ms. Oh.

Goodness. Are you touching me with those dirty hands?

Goodness, I'm sorry.

I took out that stuff a while ago.

Ms. Oh.

If you're doing this because of what happened before,

please forgive me.

I'll apologize again.

No, thank you. I don't want an apology.

I don't want to renew the contract with you, no questions asked.

- Let me go. - I won't.

Why do you grab me every time I see you?

Let go of me!

I can't. I won't.

Are you a leech? Why are you doing this?

Yes, I'm a leech.

Let her go.

Why don't you listen to her?

She must be in her dotage.

I definitely should sell the building.

The site must be doomed.

Mom.

Do you think I'm still an 18-year old girl?

Until when are you going to pour water on me?

Go upstairs and change your clothes. You might catch a cold.

Gosh.

You worry I might catch a cold and pour water on me?

I'm more than 50 years old now.

Then why did you cling to her?

It was embarrassing. You did that in front of your mom.

That's why I told you not to come.

Are you her workman or her farmhand?

Why do you have to take out the heavy stuff...

and cling to her humbly?

You can find a place for the shop.

Where?

My husband gave up his shop that was going well in Mok-dong.

Why do you think we came here? Where can I find a place again?

Do you have to say that now...

in this situation?

- Mom. - Yes, it's because of my son.

It's because my foolish son went into a business.

He lost your husband's store...

and is putting his own sister through this torture.

I can't believe I cooked a bucket full of seaweed soup...

after he was born and celebrated...

having a son who became so useless.

A lump of undigested seaweed is still lodged in my chest...

and it hurts to think of it.

Did you have to bring that up right now?

You brat.

I'm a beautiful girl

I'm so sexy

Make my waist slim.

Technology has come a long way.

Okay.

Hashtag diet-star-gram, hashtag good morning.

My face is puffy today.

Hashtag I am ugly.

- You aren't ugly. That's nonsense. - You're pretty.

- Yes, I'm pretty. - You have no weight to lose.

Thank you.

Hello, my fair members.

Lower your upper body, so your nose touches your knee.

Lift your body upward.

Inhale first, and raise your left leg...

while you exhale.

Come down slowly starting with your neck and down your spine.

Now sit up and prepare to do the cat pose.

Meow.

He felt his son's touch.

Why are you crying?

I feel so sorry for the father.

Don't you feel sad?

Is that sad? Why is that sad?

Isn't it an overreaction for two strangers to act like that?

You make me shudder in many ways,

but especially at times like this.

Your new drama is about the love of a father and son.

That's right. I'm supposed to empathize with the actors.

Play something else. I can't concentrate.

Find a better movie.

Joong Hee.

Do you feel nothing?

This is why all your exes cursed you as they left.

- Tae Boo. - What?

Do you want me to rearrange the order of your ribs?

I think it's because you've been apart from your parents for so long.

You haven't been to America in years or called your parents.

There's something my mom always says.

Even family members need to meet often to stay close.

Call your father once a day.

On video if possible.

Your feelings for him will come back.

Okay? You must do that.

I saw Mom in my dreams.

Go, so I can practice.

Why did you turn it off? The ending's...

I get a heart attack each time I see you.

Get lost.

You get lost. You're just upsetting my baby.

"Dad never called me once in years."

"He never called once."

"Dad... In years..."

"He never called once."

A, b, c,

d, e...

"Dad never..."

"Father!" I can't do it.

Al, why can't I stop cringing?

I just don't know how it feels.

Mom, how are you?

I don't call that often.

No news is good news with us.

Everything's fine. I might get a bit busy.

I'll tell you when it's confirmed.

Yes.

Are you okay?

How's my stepfather?

I see. Mom.

(Father)

Don't catch a cold.

Yes.

Okay, bye.

Al.

Who is your father?

I don't get why it's something to get so angry about.

Think about it.

- Would you get angry? - No.

Dad.

I need to buy a new textbook.

Do you?

Okay, just a moment.

Will 30 dollars be enough?

Yes.

See you later.

Bye.

The bandage is coming off.

You might trip over it.

I don't know how to tie them.

I'll do it for you while you eat.

Did you play sports once?

You're so good.

Did you play a sport?

You never said so.

What? No.

You've wrapped a bandage many times before.

That's my phone.

Hello?

Yes, I am Byun Mi Young.

Yes.

What?

Thank you. Thank you so much.

- What is it? - Dad, I got the...

What? Did you get the job?

No. A parcel.

A parcel? Weren't you about to say something else?

No.

I have to go upstairs.

These lottery tickets.

Can you see what the last number is?

Just a moment.

It's a seven.

Is today the fifth?

Yes.

Give me five tickets.

What are you doing?

Channeling the energy of the universe.

I don't get you sometimes.

Win.

Don't you have to give money for your prayers to work?

How dare you sacrifice my cup noodles.

If you win something, buy me a lunchbox.

Deal.

(Instant Lottery)

(100,000 dollars)

(Sorry)

(Sorry)

(100,000 dollars)

(100,000 dollars)

Scratch slowly.

Slowly, slowly.

It's a match.

(Sorry)

It's a dud.

Two more to go.

Two more to go.

Use this.

I can't use a one-cent coin.

You need to hit rock bottom for your luck to rise.

It's bad luck if I take it for free.

- Hallelujah. - Amen.

I feel it.

(100 dollars)

I feel it too.

What can you do with 100 dollars?

Mine says 100,000 dollars.

100,000 dollars is much more...

(100 dollars)

(100 dollars)

(100 dollars)

- 100 dollars. - I got it.

It's immoral to take it back...

future civil servant.

I paid for the ticket with my money.

You gave it to me. I need to pay for Min Ha's lessons.

I take classes too.

At your age?

My boss has been paying me only half my salary.

You know my wife struggles to put food on the table.

You have a wife to share your struggles with.

I'm too poor to even afford a girlfriend.

That's not the reason. It's because you don't have any girls around you.

Yes, I do. She's really hot, as a matter of fact.

Really?

Then...

I wish you luck with that girl.

Wait.

My little cousin's more important than any girl.

Pay for Min Ha's tuition fee with this.

Thanks, Uncle Young Shik.

That's for me to say.

Ms. Byun. You've passed the final interview.

Congratulations on becoming a new employee at Gabi.

Please come to the office next Monday...

by nine o'clock in the morning.

Gosh. Are you all right?

Hey. Hunch your shoulders a bit, will you?

You're blocking the entire hallway.

I smell pork.

Don't get too near her. You'll smell like her.

- Goodness. - Gosh, that smell.

Darn it.

Out of all places, why does Kim Yoo Joo have to work there?

There are so many other companies in Korea.

Out of all the companies I applied for,

why does it have to be there?

Kim Yoo Joo.

What ill-fated relationship did we have in our former life?

Why do you have to work there?

Why you out of all people?

Why? Why?

Why am I doing this?

Why do I have to worry because of a person like Kim Yoo Joo?

I've waited three years for this opportunity.

Peekaboo.

Why isn't there anyone to help at a time like this?

This is driving me crazy.

(Hye Young)

Hye Young. What are you doing?

I'm working.

When will you be done?

Why?

Hye Young.

I need your advice about something.

Go ahead.

I need to talk to you physically.

Can I meet you near your office?

Gosh.

What is it?

Hye Young.

Are you finished?

Yes.

Just to make sure again,

this has nothing to do with me.

You know that friend I used to do Judo with?

It's her problem.

So in short,

after applying for jobs for years,

she finally got the job of her dreams...

at Gabi, one of the top five entertainment agencies in Korea.

But out of all places, the person that bullied her works there,

and now she doesn't know whether she should accept the offer or not.

This is what you're saying, right?

Yes.

How bad was the bullying?

Well,

she was teased a lot for being overweight,

and she was ostracized.

Did the bully use physical strength or violence against her?

No, nothing like that.

Did she forcefully take anything from her or have her do errands?

Did she ever threaten to kill her if she didn't do something?

She didn't do anything like that.

It wasn't that bad.

Was there any behavior that can be considered as contempt?

For instance, did she suffer continuous harassment or teasing?

It's not like she wants to settle anything legally.

She may want to deep down,

but she doesn't want to punish her by law...

after all this time.

But...

is it possible to punish someone...

just for teasing her for being overweight and ostracizing her?

What do you think?

I don't think it would be possible.

You're pretty clever.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I was just wondering how your brain works.

Do you actually think this is something to worry about?

How many resumes did you write in the past three years?

Would you say 100 copies? 1,000 copies?

How many places did you get accepted to?

Were there other companies other than Gabi?

If there were, I'll believe this story isn't about you.

- Hye Young... - Don't try to lie to me.

Even a stranger would know this is about you.

So were there or not?

There weren't any.

And?

It's not as easy as you think.

What's so difficult about this simple situation?

Are you in grade school?

Kids in grade school can't even do anything about the kid next to them.

That's how life is.

Look at you.

There's someone you don't want to face...

at a company that hired you, so now your considering...

whether to accept the offer or not?

Are you stupid?

It's not like that.

It's not as simple as you think.

You don't understand.

Do you know how it felt having to call you for help?

How did it feel?

Do you actually want to live your life jobless?

I never said that.

I'm telling you. It's not like that.

Have you ever thought about...

the mental anguish, stress, or frustration...

I'll have to go through whenever I see her?

People work to live a happier life.

I truly want to be happy while I work.

That's all nonsense.

Do you think life is a fairytale?

When are you going to stop dreaming?

Don't you think of Mom and Dad?

You should be ashamed. They supported you all your life.

Since when were you such a devoted daughter?

Be quiet.

You're going to accept that offer, no matter what.

Accept the situation.

What did you say? Frustration and stress?

Everyone that has a job goes through that every day.

Do you think I don't feel frustration or stress?

How about Mom and Dad?

Mom.

Mi Young got a job offer today.

She got the call just a while ago.

- Hye Young. - Of course, she's happy.

She can't seem to control her excitement.

Let's have a party together tonight.

Stop. Hang up, Hye Young.

Honey.

Honey.

What's the matter?

Honey.

Mi Young got an offer.

She finally got a job.

What?

- She got hired? - Yes.

When did you find out?

Just a while ago.

The company's name is Gabi.

She says it's a good, large company.

Mi Young...

finally did it.

She got a job.

Where is Mi Young now?

She's with Hye Young. She'll be home for dinner.

We should have a party.

I'm going to the market right now.

Shall we go together?

You can't carry all the groceries by yourself.

- I'll go with you. - I'd love that.

Keep in mind, I'm not going to be cheap today.

I'm going to act rich just for today.

Go ahead. Spend as much as you'd like.

Act like a rich lady.

When else would you get the chance?

That looks delicious.

I want to have one.

- Are these cods? - Yes, they are.

This one looks good.

No. It should have more scales.

Move away.

Look at this one.

This one looks perfect.

We'll take this one.

These are useless.

What are you doing?

- I hope you sell a lot today. - Thank you.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye.

Goodness. We sure bought a lot.

Aren't they heavy? Would you like me to help you?

They're not heavy at all.

I feel as though I'm walking on clouds.

Honey, do you still get like that?

What?

No, not at all.

I just noticed a newly opened store over there.

I don't get like that anymore.

I'm serious.

So much time has passed, you know.

All right. Let's go.

Okay. I'm worried we might be late.

"Dad, you didn't even contact me..."

I'm ready. I'll give it another shot.

All right. Try to relax.

Don't be so nervous.

"Dad, you didn't even contact me for years."

"And what?"

"Dad, how much did you love Mom?"

"I loved her a lot."

"Then why did you let her go?"

"Why did you let me go?"

"I know."

"I'm the one who said that I want to leave you."

"Did you hate us back then?"

"Don't worry. Nothing is going on."

"I said nothing is going on!"

Director, what should we do?

I don't think he gets it at all.

- Joong Hee. - Yes.

Have you ever experienced something like this?

Suddenly realizing how old and feeble your father has become...

and getting all mad because you feel sorry for him.

Shall I do it again in a pitiful tone?

No, that's not what we want.

Your manager told me that you and your father are close.

Don't you...

talk to him often?

Well...

Don't guys at your age grab drinks with their fathers?

Right, they do.

How does the word "father" make you feel?

He brought me into this world.

Right, he did bring you into this world.

Let's wrap up for today.

Good work.

Thanks for coming. We'll be in touch with your manager...

If you tell me what the problem is, I'll correct it right away.

Joong Hee.

Have you ever had instant food...

that doesn't taste good even when you followed the recipe to a tee?

You made it exactly according to the recipe,

but it's tasteless. You don't even want to eat it.

That's how your acting is right now.

Good acting doesn't come from following the recipe.

(Director Ryu Gyun Sang)

Hello, Mr. Ryu.

Well, I don't think we can work together this time.

Please let Joong Hee know.

Mr. Ryu, we've been working very hard to prepare for this role.

If you can kindly reconsider...

Preparing a lot doesn't mean anything.

How can he be such a terrible actor?

It looked as if he has never talked to his father in his whole life.

It'll only make people criticize his acting more. It'll be bad for him.

I don't think I can give him the role. I'm sorry.

But... Mr. Ryu. Gosh, Mr. Ryu.

Pull over.

I said, pull over!

It looked as if he has never talked to his father in his whole life.

I don't think I can give him the role.

As psychiatrist, I assure you have...

zero possibility of achieving any of those.

It's because you are mentally ill.

You are a sick egoist...

who has a problem with relationships and emotions.

Hi, Uncle. It's me, Joong Hee.

A while ago,

you told me that you'd send me a photo you found.

Do you still have it?

A photo? What photo?

A photo of my father.

You have many flaws,

but the worst of them all is lacking taste.

Look at this. Do you actually think that these two go together?

It's fine. Cleaning scrubbers just need to clean well.

Everyone likes things that appeal to the eye.

When you put your heart into something,

you can achieve anything you want.

Try to put some heart into it.

Mi Young got a job. We're throwing a party for her tonight at 7pm.

My gosh. It sounds like Mi Young got a job, Mother.

I just got a text from Young Shil.

- Really? - Honey!

Gosh, that's such great news.

- Did Mi Young get a job? - Yes.

Oh, my. Young Shil must feel like a huge weight has been lifted.

This is why you should never give up hope. Aren't I right, Mom?

Yes, absolutely.

They're throwing a party for her this evening, but...

It looks like we have to pitch in.

10 dollars per person?

Young Shil should really treat everyone on a day like today.

Goodness. She's perfect in every aspect...

except for that one flaw.

She's such a cheapskate.

What's on the menu?

Let me see. "Grilled ribs, japchae, and so on."

My gosh, grilled ribs and japchae.

I don't think we can do it. Let's just eat kimchi stew at home.

- Bo Mi, wait. - I'll let Young Shil know via text.

Hey, don't. It's a special day, you know.

I'm sure she'll let us join without pitching in.

Going empty-handedly when we were asked to pitch in...

is completely different from showing up with nothing purely as guests.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

Gosh, that word is making me crave squid.

What's this money for?

It's 40 dollars. Where did you get this?

Just keep it. It's not like I stole it.

Yes, just take it. Who cares where he got it?

- It means we can go to the party. - Yes.

Great. Let's get moving.

- Min Ha is back too. - I'm home.

Hey, you're back.

- Mom, let's go eat braised ribs. - All right.

Hye Young.

You probably have no clue how people like me feel...

because you've been in the center of attention your whole life.

I'm not as strong as you are.

I'm sorry for letting you down.

Tell Mom and Dad for me that I can't work at that company.

Why are you just standing there?

What? I'm coming.

- Come on in. - Hello.

Welcome, Mother.

Gosh, Young Shil. Congratulations. Here you go.

- Thanks, Mom. - You're welcome.

- Congratulations, Young Shil. - Thanks for coming.

Congratulations, Young Shil.

Thanks.

- Congratulations, Aunt. - Thanks.

You only brought five dollars?

I should get a youth discount.

Indeed.

We're home.

Hey, girls.

My gosh, there you are.

My baby, I'm so proud of you. Great job.

Mi Young.

I'm truly proud of you.

Congratulations.

I'm so happy today.

You make me proud, Mi Young.

I must say, I'm impressed.

- Congratulations, Mi Young. - My puppy.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Congratulations!

A huge congratulation to you.

- Congratulations. - Congratulations, Mi Young.

I made so many different dishes.

I hope you all enjoy the food.

Mother, we made steamed cockles which you love.

Please make sure to chew well and enjoy it.

- My gosh, eat this meaty piece. - Mom, please.

Okay, just eat it.

Min Ha, eat up. Bo Mi, you too.

When did you make all this food, Young Shil?

Oh, I also made oyster fritters which you like.

All of you should forget dieting today.

Eat all you want.

Gosh.

A person's status can really change overnight.

I haven't seen you in a while, Min Ha.

How is your school life?

Is it fun?

No.

I'm numero uno so that's not a problem,

but English novices keep bothering me...

and my teacher bugs me.

It's so tiring.

I'd love to take it easy, but I can't.

Did anyone understand what he just said?

He said it's not a problem...

because he's first in his year and that's cool.

But English novices, people who don't know English...

keep asking him questions,

and his homeroom teacher...

is monitoring his grades and it's tiring.

He wants to relax in this complicated world,

but he can't have his way.

- What? - My goodness.

Did you understand all that?

Jun Young knows exactly when to join in.

You're my MFC.

Hey.

What was that you said?

Out of everyone here,

Min Ha's my most favorite character.

Min Ha, you're the best.

What?

Your most what?

My most favorite character, so...

It means he's the best.

Does it?

To me,

my son-in-law is the best.

No one has a son-in-law as great as him.

Han Soo, you are my MFC.

Thank you.

You are my MFC.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Did you find him?

Yes.

Here.

You never asked about him.

Why do you want to know about your dad?

This man I've never seen...

is wreaking havoc with my career.

Which of them is it?

The one on the right.

Do you see his name?

(Byun)

"Byun..."

I can't stand watching you be happy

Will this not do?

- No! - No.

- No! - No.

No. Next.

Already?

The highlight's coming up.

Give me one more shot.

We gave you one too many already.

Next.

This is the prize money.

Who's next?

No one's left. We all took turns.

Give me another shot.

Did everyone take turns already?

Mother, that's our money.

I know that and it hurts.

Dad hasn't sung yet and neither has Mom.

I'm the host.

Han Soo can sing.

Me?

No, forget about me.

Why? Everyone else had their turn.

Yes.

We're celebrating, so sing something.

Go on and sing.

I'll score you generously.

This is rigged.

The money was Dad's all along.

I get it now.

The host is corrupt to the core.

- She's corrupt. - Go on, then.

Han Soo, come on, baby, come on.

"Baby"?

Dad.

Not "Dad's Youth".

Not that song.

You sing that one too well.

Every parent in this world

Feels exactly the same

They want their children to do well

And be happy

Dads pray with all their heart

That's what Byun Han Soo does

Byun Han Soo.

Byun Han Soo.

Byun Han Soo.

"Byun..."

(Byun Han Soo)

"Byun Han Soo"?

(Father is Strange)

What does he look like?

Did he really appear in a dream...

and ask for a hamburger?

Hello.

I'm Byun Mi Young, a new employee.

What are you doing here?

Hey!

You're breaking the record...

for the lowest rating!

Did you remember?

You really have lost your mind.

Why should I...

- remember why I dumped you? - Hey!

Who is it? A heart?

I won't extend the contract. I won't.

Why won't you?

I've lost my mind.
