(Episode 2)

Hyeon Ju.

Are you okay?

Thank you.

- Are you okay? - Yes.

What's wrong? What happened?

He suddenly had trouble breathing.

Trouble breathing?

How are you now? Can you breathe?

No, not me.

That man had a hard time breathing,

so I performed first aid on him.

Excuse me.

Are you okay?

I'm okay.

- Thank goodness. - Excuse me.

- Hyeon Ju. - Yes?

- Let's go. - Okay.

It's pretty.

It will look good on you. Do you want to try it on?

What do you think, Mom?

Ms. Lee. Don't you know my style?

Do you think such a crude piece of fabric would suit Seo Yoon?

I'm sorry.

Stop it.

I didn't really like it either.

- What are you going to do? - I don't know.

Okay. Why don't you take this opportunity...

to start doing something you really wanted to do?

Something I really wanted to do.

What is that?

Why are you asking? It's becoming a webtoon artist.

That has always been your dream.

Dream, my foot. That was so long ago.

Think about it.

I will do my best to help you.

It's not for free, of course.

Forget it.

Since things turned out this way,

I might as well go on trips...

and take a break while looking for another job.

Don't you know?

Other companies were dying to hire me.

My gosh. Everyone in this industry knows that.

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Thank you.

- Let's have a drink. - Okay.

Don't tell my parents that I got fired for the time being.

If they find out, they'll push me to get married.

Do you hate getting married that much?

To tell you the truth,

I thought you were going to marry that guy five years ago.

Oh, I see. Five years ago?

Since we're talking about that, can I ask you something?

Why did you break up?

I'm sorry.

Come to think of it, you have never told me...

that you love me.

Do you even love me?

I know you are a great guy.

I feel comfortable around you and like spending time with you.

It's a simple yes-no question. Just answer my question.

Do you...

love me?

I'm sorry.

I think that's when I realized...

that the real problem wasn't the men I dated.

I was the problem.

Come to think of it, I have never loved anyone...

with all of my heart.

My heart isn't working. I guess it's broken.

If it's broken, you can get it fixed.

Don't try too hard.

Whether it's work, dating, or marriage,

you can just do whatever you want.

"An eternal romance starts..."

"when you love yourself."

Who said that?

Gosh.

Thanks for your help today. Get home safely.

Okay.

- Bye. - Bye.

("Shackles")

("History of Nerds")

Why don't you take this opportunity to start doing...

something you really wanted to do?

I will do my best to help you.

Something I really wanted to do.

What is that?

Why are you asking? It's becoming a webtoon artist.

That has always been your dream.

My gosh, this is a horrible drawing.

No wonder I didn't win the contest.

It's nice to meet you. I'm Hwang Ji Woo.

Nice to meet you. I'm Kim Sun Hee.

Please sit down.

I can't get used to having so much time on a weekday afternoon.

I thought you would get a job right away. You're still unemployed.

Those jerks really had it out for me.

They basically told the whole industry about me.

I can't get a job at a major company.

But new companies...

My future seems so bleak.

- Here's your food. - Yes!

Wait. Hold on.

Let me take just one photo.

All right. Okay.

In 1, 2, 3. Click.

Let's take one all together.

All right. Look pretty.

Everyone, gather around.

In 1, 2, 3.

Great.

"H Cafe in Hannam-dong".

"Brunch with my friends".

"Brief, yet happy outing".

Okay. Oh, right.

I started a new social media account.

I'll put a link on it. Check it out.

- Okay. - Here.

Why did you start a new account?

You know what happened? My sister-in-law...

liked one of my shopping photos a while ago.

I don't know how she found me on social media.

- She can't know? - Of course, not.

Then, what would my in-laws would think about me?

They would get the wrong idea that...

I'm spending the money their precious son earned.

- That's a fact, though. - What?

I'm also working hard to take care of the house and our baby.

Good for you.

At times like this, not getting married is the best.

You don't have to think about other people when you spend money.

What's the point? I have no money to spend.

Didn't you get your severance pay?

I cashed it out partially...

last year when I was buying my house, so it's not much.

But you can ask for help from your mom.

Hey, she has no idea that I quit.

If she knew, she'd be on my case and push me to get married.

She'd say that I'd need money to stay unmarried.

You know what? Actually,

my mother...

(Mom)

What's this?

Speak of the devil.

I'm sorry.

I begged my mom not to tell your mom.

I'm so sorry.

I was informed that the bidding...

for the physical checkup hospital was wrapped up.

Yes. I hope for a good partnership in the future.

So you wanted to talk to me in private.

If it's not too much to ask,

can my daughter participate in our conversation?

Your secretary, Han Seo Yoon, is my daughter.

I see.

Take a seat.

When she came back to Korea after her studies abroad,

I thought about helping her to get married right away.

But I thought having work experience at a company would be nice.

So I advised her to apply to be your secretary.

I was certain that she would learn a lot...

from a great businessman like you.

You're too kind.

People say that all ages are good for marriage these days.

But I am very worried as my only daughter turned 30 now.

What about you, Mr. Hwang? Are you married?

I'm not married.

I see.

You brat.

Mom, I'm home.

You have a misunderstanding about something.

I didn't get fired.

I'm going to a better company.

That's why I quit.

It's refreshing.

You know the money you borrowed from me when you bought your house?

It was 50,000 dollars. Pay me back.

What are you talking about?

You said I could pay it in 36 installments with no interest.

1,388.88 dollars a month.

It's up to the person who lent you the money.

Pay me back right now.

How can an unemployed person get that much money out of nowhere?

Please wait a bit.

That's why I'm telling you to pay me back.

I don't know how long you'll be unemployed,

how can I just trust you and wait?

If you don't pay me back by tomorrow,

I'm going to put red stickers all around this place.

Okay.

Mrs. Jung. What do you want?

(It's a happy marriage.)

Are you starting with this again?

Did you forget that I declared that I won't get married?

Just meet 10 people.

Then you won't have to pay me back the 50,000 dollars.

50,000 dollars.

Take it or leave it.

My gosh.

I'm going.

I'm taking my throbbing heart

Mr. Hwang doesn't seem to be interested in you at all.

What did you do for a year?

Mr. Hwang isn't interested in women.

I intend to make a proposal of marriage within this month,

so keep that in mind.

Okay.

I don't want my wife to work.

Having a career isn't easy,

so I wouldn't want my wife to get hurt by people...

in order to make a bit of money.

Look at how he looks down on women while acting as though he cares.

I can already tell how he'd be if he got married.

Wouldn't you live a happier life if you were to support your husband,

take care of household chores...

and your in-laws?

"I need a woman who can be my housekeeper..."

"and take care of my parents on my behalf."

A child needs their mother to take care of them all the time...

- to be emotionally stable. - "I intend to..."

"leave all the child-rearing to my wife."

Also, if she is kind and thrifty, there's nothing more I can ask for.

I really dislike extravagant women.

"She has to be kind and willing to overlook my affairs."

"And I won't forgive her..."

"if she spends all my money when all she does is stay at home."

What do you think, Hyeon Ju?

I agree with you.

I also...

don't want my husband to go out and work.

I'd rather him be modest, take care of household chores,

raise our child well, and be good to my parents.

Making money isn't a big deal.

"Make me something to eat. Raise the kids well."

"Be good to your in-laws. Save money."

I really dislike men who have a lot of demands.

Ms. Seo.

I can see why you still haven't gotten married.

Women who always have a comeback...

and try to beat men...

are not popular, no matter how pretty they are.

That's not true. They all love that I'm sharp,

and say I'm a breath of fresh air.

I guess you don't know your place.

Even if you get married today...

and have a child tomorrow, you'd be having a child at an old age.

You should worry about your eggs which are getting older by the day.

Men hate old women.

I guess eggs can age, but sperm can't.

If my eggs are 34,

your sperm is 43.

Will you be okay?

Look at this old lady.

- Old lady? - Hyeon Ju!

Honey!

You dumped me saying I was too old,

but you're meeting an old man who's about to be on his death bed?

"Old man"?

Let's get back together.

Seeing you makes my corneas,

irises, and optic nerves feel like they're getting purified.

I guess men have to be young and handsome.

How cute.

I hope you will find a woman with young eggs...

and get married.

I doubt it will be easy.

Let's go.

Honey. Get up for a second.

Here you go. Let's sit up.

Have some cold water and regain your strength.

She endured it for this long saying she wasn't getting married.

There's no way that would change overnight.

Do you know how much that matchmaker costs?

Just wait until that brat gets here. I'm going to break her legs.

You're home early. Come in and sit down.

No, it's okay. We can sit here.

Hey.

If you went out on a blind date,

you should've made a bit of an effort.

Why would you drag Do Gyum into it and cause all that trouble?

It wouldn't have worked out even if Do Gyum didn't come.

So what if he's a doctor?

His values and personality were all terrible.

If I were to get married to a person like him,

I would end up getting divorced immediately.

What did you say, you brat? A divorce?

- Divorce? - Mom!

- Divorce? - I'm sorry, Mom.

- Divorce? - I'm sorry, Mom.

- He was in the wrong. - What are you saying?

Mom.

I only did what Hyeon Ju asked me to do.

It's true.

How dare you lie?

Shall we unbox all of your organs today?

Do it.

Are you a gangster or a mafia member?

My gosh, I'm so irritated.

My gosh!

- My gosh. - Honey.

You did nothing good today. Why would you fight?

If you ruin another one of these blind dates,

I'm going to get back that 50,000 dollars immediately.

I don't care if you're my daughter or not.

Answer your phone.

Honey, come sit down over here.

My gosh.

Hi, Da Eun.

Of course I'm doing well.

What?

Breach of contract?

Did you hear about Park Do Gyum...

Wait, you're Do Gyum.

I'll give you a call in a bit.

Okay.

What is it?

Did you leave the company?

How could I stay there...

when they wrongfully dismissed you?

If you move to a different company,

you need a star artist to take with you. I did good, right?

No, you did not.

Go and tell them you take back canceling your contract.

I have no intention to do that.

Don't you have to pay a penalty for breaching your contract?

It's not that much. It's about 200,000 dollars.

- My gosh. - Hyeon Ju.

Where are you going? Hyeon Ju!

Goodness, Ms. Seo.

I mean, Ms. Seo Hyeon Ju. What are you doing here?

Do you still have business here?

Please withdraw Park Do Gyum's cancellation of contract.

Why? Is it overwhelming to pay the penalty?

Yes, it is.

I feel like my heart is going to beat out of my chest,

so withdraw it immediately.

It's not any of my concern whether or not your heart...

beats out of your chest.

You should take responsibility for the mess you caused when you left.

Tell Mr. Park to transfer the money on time.

- Director In! - What? My gosh.

Don't do this to me. I'm going to call the cops.

Then give me a discount.

What are you doing? Are you insane?

What are you doing?

Would you be okay...

if a bright and promising young man...

ended his life in poverty...

after spending his life repaying the debts from his penalty?

What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

Let go of me. Let go.

- Let go. - Director In.

I won't let go. I won't.

- I won't let go. - You're crazy.

I'm not going to let go until you give him a discount.

I can't let go.

I won't let go until you give him a discount.

I won't let go.

Oh, my.

My goodness.

Hold on. Let me answer this call.

Yes, that's me.

Sunwoo Pharmaceuticals' Webtoon Planning Team?

I see. The Webtoon Planning Team.

Yes, I'll go there right away. Okay.

I got scouted...

at a time like this.

I see. Good for you.

Good for you. Darn it!

Oh, my. What should we do about this?

You can't even sew it up.

Buy a new pair.

We'll transfer the penalty for Mr. Park Do Gyum soon.

Take the 200,000 dollars and become rich.

Darn you, you crazy woman!

Hey!

We plan to entrust all aspects of...

the webtoon platform and project planning...

to you, Ms. Seo.

It's a position that carries a heavy responsibility.

I'm not saying I've decided to do it though.

Of course. You should think about it thoroughly.

Regarding your salary and work environment,

we are willing to give you what you want.

Is there a reason why you're giving me...

such a good offer?

I'm not sure.

I'm just a messenger for our company's CEO.

Can I bring on webtoon artists...

of my choice as well?
