WAITING ROOM 2

LEE TAE-LEE, 1993-12-25

CHARGE: BUYING A COMPETITOR'S PRODUCT

AND UPLOADING THE PROOF OF PURCHASE

ON THE CAMPAIGN NOTICE BOARD

JOO YUN-SU, 1992-11-30

CHARGE: UNINTENTIONAL WHISTLEBLOWING

GA YEOL-CHAN, 1986-03-14

CHARGE: BAD MANAGEMENT

OF HIS SUBORDINATES

Open this door right now!

Darn it, you people shouldn't do this.

Do you know who I am?

You'll get in trouble

if you rub me the wrong way!

I'm the celebrity of the Labor Administration in Seoul,

a regional office of South Korea's Ministry of Employment and Labor!

-Mr. Joo. -Once I…

Can you shut her mouth?

open up my mouth and speak,

it'll be over for all of you!

Okay? Darn it.

Okay? Once I open up my mouth,

-everything will be over for you! -Now I see why she dated Park Beom-jun.

-Hey! -Like attracts like.

Wait, where's the guy who forced us to buy those products?

Why are we the only ones locked up?

There was the foreign matter issue,

and we made our staff buy our products.

TWO HOURS AGO

Our stock price dropped by half.

The board of directors is

calling an emergency meeting.

Shouldn't someone get fired

for an issue like this?

Let's say

Mr. Ga was behind this.

What?

But Mr. An gave the order to hold that campaign--

The guy who gave the order didn't do anything wrong.

The one who got caught is wrong.

Exactly. That's precisely my argument.

I still have no idea what I did wrong.

I mean, think about who helps us make a living.

When times are tough for the company, why can't the employees

buy one of our ramyeons?

I can't believe they called it unfair.

Even if I were to go back in time, I'd make the same choice--

Stop it already. Darn you.

Yes, sir.

Jeez.

So… how severely will he be punished?

Will you simply fire him?

CHAIRMAN NAMGUNG PYO

But Chairman.

Do you have another reason for punishing Mr. Ga

instead of Mr. An?

He should get falsely blamed

for him to learn to put the blame on others, right?

Why does he want to bring up Yeol-chan so badly?

But if Mr. Ga suddenly gets disciplined,

Marketing and Sales won't be able to function.

Okay, so what?

Joonsu Food stated they were completely unaware of this campaign.

This was an idea of General Manager Ga's, and it went wrong

-because of his misjudgment. -Did she say it was Mr. Ga?

They drew the line and said the campaign wasn't company-wide.

The campaign notice board in question has now been shut down,

and they plan on severely punishing the person who was in charge.

Reporting with MBS, this is Kim Mi-hye.

What will happen to him?

What do you think will happen to Mr. Ga? Will he--

Watch your mouth. You'll bring bad luck--

Things can't get any worse now.

Should we hold an exorcism?

We shouldn't sit around like this.

Shouldn't we quickly request a department transfer right now? No?

Man. Where else could we go now?

Why did I pop out from there?

Why did I pop out from there?

Why did I pop out from there?

MARKETING AND SALES

What will happen to Mr. Ga?

-What should we do? -I have no idea.

Do we just wait?

Mr. Cha.

What brings you here?

That's unbelievable.

Hello.

I'm Cha Hyeong-seok. I was transferred to Marketing and Sales today.

-Nice to meet you. -Yes.

Open the door.

Open it. Darn it.

Open the door.

Open it.

Darn it.

Mr. Ga, please come outside.

You're to be on standby at home going forward.

Standby at home?

Yes, someone sent Internal Affairs an anonymous report saying it's unfair

to be stuck in a waiting room in this age.

Hey, wait. What about us?

Yes, the same goes for the interns.

-Then we won't get fired? -No.

Someone also wrote that they'll file a report about us

regarding unfair dismissal with the Labor Administration.

Hey.

It wasn't me.

Ms. Tak, you're the only one

who can save us. Please…

Please tell Internal Affairs.

Okay? Please.

Ms. Tak, please. Please!

UNFAIR DISCIPLINARY MEASURES TAKEN AGAINST GA YEOL-CHAN

LEE TAE-LEE, JOO YUN-SU

SAVE

-Hey. -It's done.

-Mr. Ga. -Hey.

We're back.

What are you doing in my seat?

Hey, Mr. Ga.

What brings you here? I heard you were transferred to Waiting Room 2 for a while.

I was told to stand by at home. What brings you here, Mr. Cha?

Oh, you haven't heard. I was transferred to Marketing and Sales.

It was a bit messy, so…

My mom bought these slippers for me.

If we have a new addition to the team, you should give him new supplies!

It's all right with me.

It's not okay with me, okay?

Mr. Kim, can you empty out your desk?

-Y'all can move over to the next desk. -Yes.

-All right. -Hey, wait.

I'm claustrophobic. I can't sit in such close quarters.

It's wide open. What do you mean, claustrophobic?

Mr. Ga, you'll be on standby at home, so you won't be at the office.

Let's share.

-And after I return? -We'll figure something out then.

You never know.

I might perform very well and get promoted to general manager.

Gosh, there are holes here.

Ms. Tak. How prepared are we

for the K-Food Business Show in Malaysia in two weeks?

Why do you ask?

Mr. Ga has been preparing for that for a month.

I doubt you can make it.

-Then who will? -Who'll go?

I think you took that the wrong way.

I'm not saying I'll take what Mr. Ga prepared for free.

If the worst case scenario happens and you are unable to attend,

I will prepare something on my own. That's what I meant.

You only have two weeks left.

I don't need two full weeks for that. Three days is more than enough.

How can you transfer Mr. Cha to our department without telling me?

It was an emergency. I had no choice.

Your position was left open. How can we deal with the damage?

But still, how can you do this without notice?

We're holding the 55th anniversary event for Joon Ramyeon soon.

The K-Food Business Show is coming up. Who's going to work on those?

-You're going to let Mr. Cha go there? -Who else would I send?

Did the chairman agree to it?

You're starting to upset me.

Since when did you want to talk to the chairman instead of me?

If I say I'm sending Mr. Cha there, you should just nod and accept it.

Mr. Cha! We sincerely and passionately

welcome you to Marketing and Sales!

All right!

Could you give us a speech?

EFFECTS, MUTE, FLIP, END VIDEO CALL

-Welcome to the team! -Yes, okay.

-Let's just start drinking. -Mr. Cha.

-Mr. Cha… -He hung up.

-He hung up. -I think he hung up.

Just drink.

All right, let's grab a drink.

-Let's do this! -Okay.

So you aren't coming?

I'm not in the mood to go there!

Let's have some beef together

with welcoming hearts for Mr. Cha.

Let's eat.

Gosh, this looks good.

-Come on. -Those jerks.

So you're on his side already?

Gosh.

LET THE WORLD COME AT YOU!

FIGHT SPICY CHICKEN!

This is infuriating.

I can't believe they're on his side.

Wow, cash. Thanks.

Thank you.

Get home safely.

Okay.

Bye.

My gosh.

What is this?

-Didn't you see her? -Who?

-Ramyeon. -Who, where?

The curly-haired girl. It was her.

I can't… I can't lose you like this.

I searched everywhere for you.

My ramyeon fairy,

who completely changed my life.

I will live.

I'll survive.

I'll survive

and show this world…

that I'm a useful human being too.

LET THE WORLD COME AT YOU!

FIGHT SPICY CHICKEN!

LET THE WORLD COME AT YOU!

FIGHT SPICY CHICKEN!

LET THE WORLD COME AT YOU!

FIGHT SPICY CHICKEN!

Hello.

Just one more time, please.

Please help me just once more.

Hey, by the way…

If Tae-lee

and Yun-su

are fired like this,

will I be hired full-time?

You're pretty crafty, Mr. Lee.

Why you…

Of course I should be crafty.

Lee Man-sik.

Man-sik.

Where am I going?

Man-sik!

Where should I be going?

-Make a wrap. -Okay.

Let's say

Mr. Ga was behind this.

The guy who gave the order didn't do anything wrong.

The one who got caught is wrong.

If I say I'm sending Mr. Cha there, you should just nod and accept it.

So this is how I'm getting thrown out? It's so pathetic.

I can't just do nothing.

NUT PRODUCTS

Ms. Lee. Mr. Joo.

Pack your bags and come to the address that I sent to you by 7 a.m.

Until we're called back to work,

we're going to travel around Mokpo to develop a new product.

A trip to develop a new product?

Since we have time, instead of wasting it, let's do something.

-You know your job's at risk, right? -Yes.

Okay, but if we perform well on our own,

wouldn't that be unfair to Mr. Lee?

-What? -If you want to bring us along,

I was thinking that you should bring Mr. Lee along too.

He should at least be given an equal chance.

Yes, Man-sik can be of help, you know.

Let's meet a little later.

He lives in a nice place.

Hello.

-Hello. -Where's Mr. Lee?

He's here.

Mr. Ga.

Did Mr. Cha say anything when you said you'd be taking a few days off?

He told me to just leave for good,

but I'll be okay, right?

He dares to mess with my people?

"My people"?

-Since we're all here, let's get going. -Okay.

-Who can drive? -Me.

-Only Mr. Lee? -What about you?

Yes.

I guess I'll have to drive you guys around everywhere.

Aren't you guys old enough to have a driver's license by now?

I have one, but it hasn't been used. I don't have

-money to buy a car. -That's right.

Why would you tell me that?

You asked us why we didn't have a license at our age,

so I'm telling you that I have one.

Okay, fine. Whatever.

You should drive first,

and I'll take over at the rest stop.

Okay.

-We should sit in the back, right? -Yes.

Take care.

Bye.

Ms. Lee, what's up with your bags?

Excuse me? What about my bags?

Are you Rambo? Are you wearing cartridge belts?

My gosh, are you even picking on me about my clothes now?

That's not what I meant.

Are you going on this trip for fun? We're going on a business trip.

Your bag is far too small for that.

Is a business trip a joke?

Here!

Are you emigrating? Why are your bags so extreme?

-Passenger terminal. -Crossing your bags like Rambo…

Is that trendy these days? Does everyone do it?

Mr. Ga,

what do you mean, "everyone"?

This is a fashion style that I created for myself.

You don't know anything about fashion.

-She can't be my ramyeon muse. -You don't even know fashion,

and you call me Rambo.

I really don't understand why you would compare me to…

I'm going to take a nap. I didn't get any sleep last night.

Oh, my gosh!

Get up.

MAESONG SERVICE AREA

-My leg fell asleep. -Thanks.

What?

What are you stuffing yourselves with?

Where's Mr. Ga?

Oh, he said he's going to sleep some more.

What? Hey, do you think that jerk is trying to get out of driving?

Wash your hands before you eat.

Jeez, you're so gross.

PRESIDENT

I'm sure he washed them. I'm sure he did.

Where are you? Come to my office right now.

-May I ask what this is about? -Why you…

Do you remember calling me yesterday?

Is it you, Namgung?

Who else would it be? Darn it.

It's Man-sik!

This is the Man-sik whom you promised

to make vice president!

-What the heck is he saying? -Why you jerk…

You can't treat me like this.

You hear? You can't use someone

and dump them so easily.

You hear me, you scumbag?

-Hey, Man-sik. -What?

This is all because you took

Yeol-chan's side first.

Did I dump you first?

Gosh, darn it.

Is that what happened?

Darn.

Well, I didn't know. I had no idea.

Joon-su.

You can't kill off your buddy, Man-sik, like this, you jerk.

You hear?

My youngest is in his second year of middle school, you jerk.

Jeez. Stop calling me a jerk!

So what?

Do you want to come back to my side or what?

Hang on. I'm on my way.

Okay.

I'm going to show up to work at the vice president's office

from tomorrow.

If you remember now, stop with the complaints and come here.

Unfortunately, I'm out of the office

-at the moment. -Where are you?

Are you-- are you with Yeol-chan?

Pardon?

-Yes. -Where?

Where? Where are you?

Well,

I was told not to tell anyone.

Actually, we're on a trip

to develop a new product.

A trip to develop a new product?

Go and report to me in real time. Got it?

I'm going to give you another chance.

Do you understand?

A chance? Whatever.

How can I trust you, you scumbag?

But, just in case,

should I at least try to make an effort?

Hey, you have to take that exit!

You scared me.

I'm sorry.

Gosh, I briefly got distracted.

How can you get distracted while you're driving?

It's because I've been driving for five hours straight.

I've driven for five hours too.

That isn't an excuse.

If you're so good at it, then why don't you drive?

You said we'd switch, but we didn't.

I'll drive on the way back.

You don't believe me?

We have to make a huge detour now.

Gosh, I can't stand this.

You've been sleeping this whole time.

How can you say that to him when he has been driving

for five hours straight?

If you don't have a driver's license, just stay quiet.

We have our license,

-but we don't have money to-- -Hey!

What the heck? He's ignoring my calls?

Whatever. I have…

something like this.

Let's see.

RED DRAGONFLY MOTEL

What?

Red Dragonfly Motel?

What is this?

How am I supposed to sleep here?

RED DRAGONFLY MOTEL

Darn it.

I'm so tired.

Jeez. I'm so tired from driving all day.

-I think I'll wash up. -I'm going to wash up first.

Jeez. He didn't even drive.

Hey, maybe he fell asleep.

-Go and check. -Okay.

Jeez, he's taking things too far.

I thought I had packed it.

My goodness.

Hey, is this new?

They've already been worn. I just put them in a box.

Not only did you put your used underwear in a box,

-but you sealed it with tape? -Yes!

Can't I use tape to pack ones that I've worn?

Since I'm old, he'll let me have the bed, right?

I'm going to sleep on the floor. I'm comfortable with the floor.

-Okay. -Okay.

Gosh, what is this?

Don't you think you'd be uncomfortable sleeping here?

Do you think they even wash these properly?

Gosh.

Jeez, if you had time to pack these, you should've packed your underwear.

Let me have the blanket at least.

Let go.

Are you happy now that you took everything?

Take it!

Hey.

Underwear.

Here, wear both of them together.

Dad.

Wipe, wipe everywhere

I love the Italy towel

Wash it clean with water

Wash up thoroughly

Clean the elbows, clean them well

Wipe every little corner clean

Cleaning myself with the Italy towel

I opened the fridge And there was cider inside

Oh, cider

It makes my heart feel refreshed, cider

It quenches my thirst, cider

Gimbap and cider for a picnic

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TRIP

Let's start the auction at nine.

-Nine. -Nine.

-Nine. -Nine.

All right, nine.

-Nine. -Nine.

-Nine. -Nine.

Nine.

-I'm at ten. -Ten.

-Ten. -Ten.

-Ten. -Ten worth 20 kilograms.

Twenty kilograms.

-Twenty kilograms. -Thirty kilograms.

Moving on.

-What are these? -Take some pictures.

-These are… -Let us through.

Twenty kilograms.

-They're doing it thoroughly. -Twenty kilograms.

-Twenty kilograms. -Twenty kilograms.

Twenty kilograms.

NATIONAL FEDERATION OF FISHERIES COOPERATIVES

It's long-legged octopus.

How about we use this for the powder…

-We can't put it in ramyeon. -What's wrong with you?

-Goodness. -Wow.

My gosh.

-Hello. -Hello.

-Look here. -Hi.

-Here. -All right.

-I'll take it now. Yes. -Ms. Lee.

-Ms. Lee! -Yes?

-Are you here to have fun? -What?

We've got to take some pictures.

-This-- -Stop talking back.

This is for social media. You don't know anything.

LONG-LEGGED OCTOPUS RAMYEON

-Thank you for the food. -Enjoy.

-Thank you. Thank you. -Our pleasure.

When it comes to taste, what strikes your palate first

and what lingers at the end are most important.

Take note of what you taste at first, in the middle, and at the end.

CHICKEN AND SEAFOOD RAMYEON

Check what kind of broth is used.

It could be chicken, pork, beef, seafood, another ingredient,

or the mixture of two ingredients like this one.

You can make different broth with the same kind of meat

by boiling only the bones, only the meat, or both together.

LOBSTER RAMYEON

As for broth, it can be clean and light or thick and deep.

As for noodles, check the thickness and viscosity.

Say that again?

I'm talking about the thickness and stickiness of noodles.

I see.

-Thickness… -She doesn't even know the basics.

Mr. Lee, will you try holding it?

-One, two, three. -Okay.

SKATE RAMYEON

SKATE RAMYEON

Enjoy.

-Thank you. -My pleasure.

I've never had skate before.

Beg the owner if you must

to make them share what their secret ingredient is.

Check where it came from and its country of origin.

Goodness.

ROSÉ STEW SAUSAGE RAMYEON

Check the customers' reaction too. See where it is on a scale of one to ten.

Find out what it is about the ramyeon that they'd rate the highest.

That's enough. Stop it, you punk. You're going to make me get indigestion.

You've been rattling on all day long.

-Did he just call me a punk? -I couldn't hear him clearly.

-Should we order a bottle of soda? -Sure thing.

Give us a bottle of soda, please.

-Make it two. -Isn't that makgeolli?

I'm tired.

-I want the report tomorrow morning. -What?

First, long-legged octopus ramyeon which we had at the bus stop.

Yun-su, you should work on that.

-Okay. -Chicken and seafood ramyeon.

-Tae-lee, that's yours. -Okay.

-I'll write about the skate ramyeon. -Okay.

-Let's divide up the work. -Yes.

Yun-su, how spicy was the chicken and seafood ramyeon?

Maybe it was because of the capsaicin, but it was just too spicy for me.

-What about you, Mr. Lee? -Well, it was okay for me.

What else?

Would young people like

-skate ramyeon? -Yes.

-That one was better than I thought. -I was surprised too.

That unique taste…

-Long-legged octopus ramyeon. -Liquid over cube.

Right, I think that'd be better.

The cost would be a problem. Long-legged octopus is expensive.

-I bet other companies have tried this. -We wouldn't put the whole octopus into--

-This is enough. Keep writing. Okay. -All right.

Are you good at making tables now?

-Wow. -Goodness.

You got the columns right.

-It's a piece of cake. -When did you learn how?

You've improved so much.

2020 MALAYSIA K-FOOD BUSINESS SHOW JOONSU FOOD

I doubt you can make it.

I don't need two full weeks for that. Three days is more than enough.

Ms. Tak.

About the K-Food Business Show that Mr. Cha is working on…

Can you tell me how it's going?

The thing is, he's already sent prior invitations.

Some of them promised to meet him at the venue.

Did he attract the buyers I was planning on meeting?

No. He said he didn't need such small fry.

Then who did he contact?

MMH Retail in Malaysia,

Big Ace Mart in Thailand, and Bing Group in Vietnam.

Those places are already saturated

-with hot chicken noodle, so what-- -Well,

he's going to promote Greasy Noodle instead of hot chicken noodle.

What?

The one that was discontinued right after its release?

Mr. Ga is quite curious, isn't he?

Excuse me?

What do you mean?

I knew he would be.

I sent him the list of guests

-and the sales promotion materials. -What?

No matter what anyone says, he is the head of Marketing and Sales.

For now, at least.

"For now"?

For now

INBOX DO YOU WANT TO DOWNLOAD THE FILE?

2020 K-FOOD BUSINESS SHOW

GUEST LIST

It was the first time that someone made me feel tense.

In just two days, he'd searched import distributors in Southeast Asia

and secured their contact information.

He attracted the buyers and even arranged pre-meetings.

Gosh. What can he do with that disgusting ramyeon?

It's not that easy to acquire a display stand.

We're done!

We're done.

Goodness.

-Gosh. -Oh, goodness.

We're done.

-Goodness. -Gosh.

Gosh, we're done.

We're finally done.

-Goodness. -I'm so tired.

-What? -How can you sleep right now?

Are you here to have fun? Where is your report?

-There-- -Why can't you hand it to me

before I ask you?

Why are you going there? You want me to drive again?

I come up with our travel route.

Must we do this?

-The heads take some time. -I see.

-So the heads first. -In one, two.

It came out well.

-I caught something! -Gosh.

Hey. Get me a scoop net.

-A scoop net. -What's that?

Again!

Its name is Man-sik. Preparing food for 10,000 people.

That's what it means.

-The knife is blunt. -You're cutting out all the flesh.

There's nothing left to eat.

-Why are you throwing a fit at me? -Grab that again.

Wow.

-Wow. -Webfoot octopus.

This is great.

It has to maintain its shape.

-Here it comes. -What is it?

-This one is a greenling. What? -Goodness!

-Oh, my. -What is it?

-How did this… -It's a shark.

-This is crazy. -It really is a shark.

-Awesome! -What…

-My goodness. -It's amazing.

That's unbelievable..

-There. -Goodness.

-Why would you take the hairtail out? -We aren't here to eat hairtail.

What?

Rice is better than noodles for this.

Eat up already.

-It's hot. -Come on, now.

Stop it. You won't get married if you're that bad at using chopsticks.

Even dogs aren't messed

-with when they're eating. -Finish up already.

We've got to eat quickly and leave.

Stop eating and get up.

We came all the way to Slow City.

Why are we doing everything quickly?

We've been doing this for hours now.

I told you to increase the size of our cuttlefish catching picture.

-This one? -Yes.

Well…

There you go.

-Like this? -Yes.

Done. Is this good enough?

Yes.

Darn it.

I bet Yeol-chan is sleeping now.

I guess he doesn't know it takes this long.

He wouldn't know. I mean, he doesn't do it.

It's unusual of you to badmouth someone.

Tell me about it.

This won't do.

I'm going to go wake myself up.

Goodness, it's killing me.

Oh. Yun-su.

Is something wrong?

Oh, it's nothing.

Come on, I can tell something happened. What is it?

I left my dog alone at home.

How is he going to eat for the next several days?

Well,

I asked the landlady to do it, but she's too forgetful.

Do you have any friends in the neighborhood?

No.

I see.

Why did you do that the other day?

You reported my wrongful dismissal to Internal Affairs.

-That wasn't really necessary-- -Well,

that wasn't me.

-Pardon? -I mean,

I kind of have something to do with it, but…

What?

That's all I can say about it.

Now tell me why you're like that.

Why are you so eager to draw a line?

Because it's painful to part ways with someone close.

It's painful enough as it is.

I don't want to add more to it.

I won't waste my time and emotions in trying to be friends with others.

Oh, right.

Why don't you ask Ms. Tak?

You live in Sinjin-dong.

-She lives in the same neighborhood. -But, Tae-lee.

I doubt she would do it for me.

Forget it. You might get chewed out for nothing. Let me take care of it.

Why don't you think she would?

She might glare at me like this again.

Goodness, she's scary.

Are you two dating?

I guess life isn't that tough, seeing as how you have time to date.

Don't you know why I'm doing this here?

Don't you?

What?

Hi, Tae-lee. To what do I owe the pleasure at this hour?

What? Are you telling me to go to an intern's house to feed his dog?

Are you serious?

Please, Ms. Tak.

-I don't think this is a good idea. -It's perfect.

What's wrong with her?

How absurd.

Dubu.

Hey.

Are you Dubu?

Are you?

You're too trusting for a dog. You should bark when a stranger comes.

I can't believe I came to an intern's house to feed his dog.

I'll do it for you, Dubu.

Wait.

Wait.

Were you starving or something? Eat slowly, you punk.

Hey.

Dubu.

Dubu.

Dubu.

I can't live like this.

-Gosh, what… What… -What are you going to do?

A coup.

-A coup? -A coup?

FACIAL MASK

What is it?

You should do it too.

-What? -Do it with us!

Don't just run your mouth.

Work with us.

Is that what you really want?

Yes.

TASTE EVALUATION REPORT

Take a look at this, please.

SIGNATURE DISH AND PRICE

SEAFOOD, HAIRTAIL, ANCHOVY BROTH

There's no secret ingredient here.

I asked, but the owner wouldn't tell me.

You should've found out no matter what. This is about your mindset.

You weren't eager enough.

Would you share the secret recipe?

-Even her daughter-in-law doesn't know. -I would.

If you seemed more eager than her daughter-in-law.

Jeez.

Here.

Who staples reports like this?

Pardon?

Why staple it horizontally like this?

Don't you know it's easier to flip when it's stapled diagonally?

When it's horizontal like this, the radius of action is 90 degrees.

But when it's diagonal,

it goes up to 270 degrees. This is the most basic knowledge.

-How could you not know? -Enough!

We'll just work

on our own.

That's better, right?

It was only for a short moment, but that was gratifying.

Totally.

You're the only person who can yell at Yeol-chan

and tell him to do some work.

Those who lost have nothing to say.

PRESIDENT

Gosh!

Goodness. I hate them. I hate both of them.

Gosh, I'm so sick of them.

I can't stand them. Gosh, I hate them both.

Dear me, they're awful.

I'm so sick of them. I honestly can't stand them.

I'm so sick and tired of this!

We'll pair up and do our research.

This is the list of the restaurants.

To attend the K-Food Business Show, I must return to Seoul by the weekend.

So realistically, we can't do this as a group.

That's why we're pairing up.

Who's going to Maenji Island with me?

-Come here. -Gosh.

Goodness.

Let's be democratic about this.

-We'll play rock-paper-scissors. -That's so random.

-I'll play scissors. -Me too.

-Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors! -Rock-paper-scissors!

You actually played scissors?

-Too bad. -Too bad indeed.

How petty.

Let's go.

Okay.

-My gosh! -What?

-What? -Namgung Joon-su?

-Hello. -Hi.

I came here with my friends to go…

Right, the yacht .

To go sailing. Then I saw a car that looked familiar,

which turned out to be yours, Mr. Ga. Who knew we'd run into each other?

-I see, a yacht. -To go sailing?

Yes, on a yacht.

Well…

Mr. Ga, do any of your friends

-go sailing often? Probably not. -Right.

That's why you don't know.

There are a lot of yachts around here.

This is actually perfect. Why don't you join us if you're free?

-What? -We don't have a car.

This is great. You brought your car. You can be our driver. Come with us.

Driver?

-Hey. -Just come with us.

All right, sure. Why not?

I'll be your driver today.

Nice!

Go back to Seoul.

FERRY SCHEDULE

Should we pass on Grandma's Ramyeon in Maenji Island?

We're on a tight schedule.

-There's only one ferry a day. -What? You came all the way here.

Right?

Just go, slurp some noodles, and get on the ferry. A day is enough.

Well…

I got the other restaurants, so don't worry. Just go.

Go on.

MOKPO COASTAL FERRY TERMINAL

FIVE MINUTES AGO

I should go now if I plan on going.

-Who knows when the next ferry will run? -Right.

Wait. What are you talking about?

What?

You just said that you don't know when the next ferry will run.

Oh, that.

They issued a high seas warning. I heard it'll last through next week.

But the waves seem so calm right now.

That's what I'm saying. Goodness.

A huge one must be coming, seeing how calm the waves are now.

Exactly.

Then, I guess you don't know when you can come back if you sail out now.

-Of course, who knows? -No one knows.

-There will be no ferries. -No ferries?

Are you happy?

Have a good trip!

Bye, see you.

Bye!

Have a safe trip. See you later!

-Hello? -Mr. Ga.

You can return to work now.

Stop wandering around and come back.

Pardon?

Really?

Apparently, I can

return to work now.

That means you can go to Malaysia.

Yes.

Let's go check out Grandma's Ramyeon

-and head back to Seoul. -Sounds good.

This is it.

-Ma'am. -Hello.

My gosh! Goodness.

-We're here for your ramyeon. -My gosh, welcome.

Oh, my.

Which one would you like?

We'll get Grandma's Ramyeon.

-Grandma's Ramyeon? -Yes.

-Anything to drink? -We have to take the last ferry.

-Oh, goodness. -We have to leave soon.

All right.

Here's your Grandma's Ramyeon.

Oh, my.

-How do I turn this on? -This is such a rare delicacy.

-Right. -Have you seen anything like this?

-No. -See?

-Isn't it that fish? -I cleaned all the rockfish by hand

and dried them like that.

That's the fish in this ramyeon.

Why are you taking so many pictures? You must be from KBC in Seoul.

-Gosh, no. -No.

This handsome young man looks like

-that actor, Choi Soo-jong. -No. Ma'am.

Ma'am, could we get some water?

Give me an autograph before you leave.

-Give us some water, please. -And you're…

My name is Man-sik. All right?

-Give us some water. Hurry. -Goodness.

Thank you.

I have to say this looks so good.

My gosh!

-Try it. You have to try it. -You, kiddo.

-Just taste it first. Stop writing. -I have to write things down.

-The top, middle, and base notes. -Let your tongue remember them.

If we turn rockfish into powder, we can definitely do this.

-We still have time, right? -We have a lot of time.

My, that was delicious.

My goodness.

You finished the whole thing while I went to get you some water.

-It was delicious. -We really enjoyed it.

-It's good, isn't it? -Okay.

-Yes. -We'll settle up.

-It's 30,000 won. -That was the best.

A credit card? Are you serious?

What kind of lunatic would accept credit cards on this tiny island?

-Oh, sorry. -You stupid cat!

That damn thing ate all my rockfish.

I must teach that cat a lesson.

-30,000 won, right? -Yes.

-Yes, 30,000 won. -Here.

-Great. -Thank you.

-Return safely. -Thank you.

Thank you for the ramyeon.

Hey! That little…

Let's go.

We should hurry.

-Thank you! -Thank you!

You're welcome. Goodbye.

Return safely.

-Will do! -Thank you.

-Come and visit again! -We will.

Great.

Tie it well.

Excuse me. May I ask you a question?

Sure. How come the ferry isn't here yet?

It was canceled.

-Yes, it was canceled. -Canceled.

Then what about the next one?

The next one? Don't ask us. How would we know?

-Ask the sky. -Exactly.

Come on. There will be one tomorrow, right?

Tomorrow?

We'll have to see.

We have no idea.

That's right.

Hurry.

The waves will calm down by the weekend at the latest, right?

-I have to leave by the weekend. -That's right.

You didn't even check the weather before coming here?

A high seas warning has been issued for all through next week.

-The wind waves. -That's right.

I guess he doesn't know what it is.

-Gosh. -Goodness.

A chopper. A helicopter.

-Can a helicopter come in? -Goodness.

You can't use a helicopter as you wish.

That's all our tax money.

-Yes, that is our tax money. -Then,

what about this boat? Can it sail out now?

Well, it can.

-Yes. -But we'll all die.

We can sail out now, but it'll be like plunging to our demise.

-"To our demise"? -Hop on if you want to meet death.

Even last year, we were stuck here for the whole year.

-Stop saying things like that. -Gosh.

Look.

-According to the map, it's the dock. -Yes.

-And that's Mr. Park's house. -Right.

-And this is where we are. -This spot here?

Mr. Kim's house is that way.

Look, it's here.

So this house is…

Darn it! I can't believe you lost it.

-Well… -You're such a handful.

-But this house-- -Let's go. I told you it's that way.

It's that way.

-No! No way. -Captain, please!

I have to leave by the weekend no matter what happens.

-Jeez! -We missed the last ferry.

-You can't! -Please. Help us. Please!

If he can't make it out of here, it'll be the end of us.

We're both finished.

I can pay you however much you'd like.

Please! Please save me!

Goodness gracious!

I won't be saving you if we leave now.

We'll all die!

-No, I have to go! -Even if you offered billions,

no one would want to set sail and die!

No, please!

-We have to go sell ramyeon. -Help us just this once.

-No, we can't go. -Let's try.

Let's give it a shot.

-Let go! -Please come with us.

-Captain. Just this once. -Let go! Let me go.

-Captain! -Captain!

I don't need money!

Go away already!

Help us just this once…

Captain!

What?

-Look. -What?

-Hey, it's open. It's open. -Over there.

Well, we don't accept credit cards.

Mr. Lee. Do you have any cash? Got any cash on you?

Well, sir.

Can't we just send the money to your bank account?

Sir, where is

the closest ATM?

If you go down that way,

you'll find one at the Fisheries Cooperatives.

But my goodness.

Someone got drunk and broke it the other night.

Go take a look.

It's totally smashed.

I'm not sure if you can even stick a card in there.

You can still go and try to stick it in.

YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR COVERAGE AREA

No signal?

Nothing.

Do you have any food?

Let me see.

Jeez, why isn't my phone working?

Mr. Ga!

No, the bun. My bun…

My bun…

Hand it over.

Here.

No, peel it off more. How can I eat that? Let me see.

This is good enough.

Look, a helicopter.

-It is a helicopter. -My gosh!

A helicopter! That's a helicopter!

Over here! Help!

Over here!

SOS!

SOS!

-SOS! -SOS!

-SOS! -SOS!

-SOS! -SOS!

They saw us!

-SOS! -SOS!

Is Mr. Cha not back from Malaysia yet?

-Mr. Ga. -Talk politely.

-You haven't heard? -I hate this.

-Why are you doing this to me? -What?

I can do worse things.

-How dare you glare at me like that? -Get out.

I can't taste the key ingredient.

With hot chicken noodle, I knew it'd be a hit as soon as I tasted it.

This is like a downgraded version of it.

Mr. Ga, what's wrong? Hey, what's going on?
