THIS PERSON IN MIRROR IS CLOSER THAN THEY APPEAR

Let's take a picture.

-It's blurry. -Again.

Okay, one more time.

Two, three.

Why do I look so ugly?

It looks fine.

Once more. Just one more.

-The weather is great today. -It is.

-Honey, look over there. -It's so great.

Over there.

KYEONG'S SEAFOOD RESTAURANT

PLEASE ORDER TWO OR MORE SERVINGS

CHEESY SPICY CHICKEN

PEOPLE-CENTERED! SAMCHEOK, THE HAPPY CITY

Do you enjoy looking pathetic?

Can you just ignore me and drive by? Stop picking fights.

I was just worried that you might jump in front of a car.

What did you say?

You look just like Blackie.

-"Blackie"? -This kid that I feed.

What about you? Did you rent that car?

Wait, you didn't steal a customer's car, did you?

Unbelievable.

It seems like you don't really know who I am.

I'm not an ordinary guy.

Okay, sure.

Sure you're not.

I wasn't planning on telling you this,

but the son of that resort's chairman, Cha--

Wait, did you steal a car that belongs to the chairman's son?

Forget it. Hop in. I'll give you a ride.

Wait, am I sensing hesitation? I just offered you a ride.

I won't get arrested as your accomplice for stealing that car, will I?

If you don't want a ride, fine.

It looks like buses stop running pretty early around here.

Have they stopped running already? Sir, is the last bus gone?

Yes, the last bus left.

I thought so.

My goodness.

It's like customer service after yesterday's incident.

Buckle up.

Okay.

Anyway, did you have a job interview or something?

-What? -You look better in that than the dress.

You're like the uptight Ms. B.

What did you say?

Did you read it out loud all night long?

Read... Read what?

The Explicit Taste of My Boss.

What an obscene title.

That... That book isn't like that.

I see.

Anyway, what's this sound?

Darn you, Mr. Jang.

Hey.

Lend me some money, will you?

What?

He couldn't have gone far. There's no gas in his car.

Just let him be today.

He has somewhere to be.

Yes, sir.

CHAIRMAN CHA DAE-BOK

He might pull himself together

after he sees his mother.

Get out.

What?

Wait, where are we?

Weren't you headed to the resort?

I never said I'd drop you off at the resort.

Aren't you getting out?

My gosh.

You said you had no gas, so I gave you money to fill up,

and now you're telling me to get out.

I'm Cha Jin...

Darn it.

I'll pay back double the amount.

How am I supposed to believe you?

I'm a guy...

who always keeps his promises once they're made.

Okay, fine. All right.

I'll be staying here for a bit, so do whatever you want.

Find a bus or hitchhike.

Though I'm not sure if that would go well for you.

What... What did you say?

Or you can drink with me.

With you?

I'm feeling bummed out,

so we can both get refreshed here.

I'm not hitting on you, so don't get too excited.

My goodness.

I wasn't excited at all.

Forget it, then.

Give me a sip.

I destroyed that wine bottle before I could even finish it yesterday.

I mean, I've embarrassed myself already, and we won't meet again after today.

Whatever will be, will be.

Whatever will be, will be.

Darn it.

Hey, look.

All right! I found money.

This is huge.

It's from 1989.

It was made in the year I was born.

I must be pretty lucky today.

What? Don't you think your day was too eventful to say you're lucky?

Even if 100 bad things happen to you, if you get lucky just once,

you just call that day a lucky day.

I found this 500-won coin on this vast beach,

and on top of that, it was made in the year I was born.

That's totally lucky.

Here. It's a gift.

Are you giving this to me because I had no money for gas?

I'm sharing my luck.

You've been looking awfully depressed.

You look like a kitten that lost his mommy.

A kitten?

Are you drunk already after a sip of wine?

I can hold my liquor.

Are you that happy?

-Yes. -You might start dancing any moment now.

Should I? I'm actually a great dancer.

Hey.

What... What are you doing?

I'm dancing, obviously.

Come on, what's with you? You're embarrassing me.

You need to stop, okay?

Thank you for what you said before.

Nothing's been working out for me,

and I've been very lonely.

Things were really tough for me.

But no one ever asked me if I was doing all right.

You're the first person who asked...

if I was all right.

It's not even a big deal,

but it was oddly comforting...

to hear you ask me if I was all right.

Man, me and my charm.

A lot of women shed tears because of me...

but you're the first one who cried because I asked if you were okay.

And it's the first time that I thought a woman looked pretty...

when she was crying.

What?

Goodness. It's... It's quite late. I should get going.

Come on, you never listen.

-Come this way. -Hurry up.

Goodness.

Get a hold of yourself, Yu-mi.

This isn't right.

THREE YEARS LATER

GANGNAM STATION TO 63 BUILDING

Sir!

Sir! Sir!

FARE, BALANCE

GANGNAM STATION TO 63 BUILDING

OPTIMAL TEMPERATURE FOR MEN'S HEALTH

SUCCESSFUL GLOBALIZATION

DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING FUNCTIONAL UNDERWEAR

The response is much better than if we used an actual model.

Of course.

As you've just seen, our brand has become a common noun

in the industry of functional male underwear.

Not just in Korea,

but our overseas sales are up 19.2 percent over last year.

We became the first Korean male underwear company

to be in an underwear show in Paris.

With one pair being sold every second,

our product has become a legend on home shopping channels.

That was Lashevan's performance report for the first half of 2017.

Gosh, how did you come up with the idea to be a model yourself?

Goodness, you're in great shape.

It's a basic virtue of a businessman to turn a crisis into an opportunity.

You've achieved great results in every project you've worked on.

I'm proud of you. Great work.

I'll turn in the proposal for overseas expansion this week.

Anyway, when are you going to get married?

I already did the market research. After I revise the marketing strategy--

When will you have a kid?

Not for a while.

I have loads of work.

You're already 32 years old.

When will you get married and give me grandchildren?

I told you to stop partying and grow up, not to become celibate like a monk.

In that case, should I donate my sperm somewhere?

Do you want a grandchild that way?

-What did you say? -Then,

I hope you have a great morning. I have to go wrap up the meeting.

That little...

It's all right.

It's okay. You don't have to make a fuss.

Goodness, there's no need for us to sit around, is there?

I have an urgent meeting.

Let's go.

What's with this atmosphere?

Are you all still asleep?

This isn't a formal occasion.

You can relax and eat. You've all worked hard.

Anyway, who came up with the marketing strategy

for this season?

I emphasized our strengths,

which are our isolated structure and solid design, to--

Exactly.

Isn't it the marketing team's job

to let people see such great functions at a glance?

I'll make sure they stand out at a glance.

-My gosh. -Eat up. Sorry about that.

Right, and let's reconsider the entire overseas marketing strategy.

Who saved Daebok Group from a crisis?

It was me, Cha Jin-wook! Am I the only one who does my job?

Don't even dream of slacking off and collecting your paycheck.

Bring me the revised marketing strategy by tomorrow.

Make sure it's something I'd like.

-My gosh. -What's with him?

What's wrong? Is there a problem?

-No, sir. -No, sir.

Eat up.

This isn't a formal occasion. You can relax and eat.

-My gosh. -I feel sick to my stomach.

Thank you.

Enjoy your lunch.

All right! Corn dogs!

If I knew you loved these so much, I would've made them more often.

Make it every day. Every single day!

I'm sorry. This is my last day.

This is my last present for you.

You liar. You're lying, aren't you?

I'm serious.

You won't see me starting tomorrow.

Make sure you don't throw away your food, and don't just eat what you want.

You have to finish everything, okay?

Ms. Lee, don't go.

-Ms. Lee, don't go. -Don't go.

-Don't go. -Don't leave.

Don't go.

Don't go.

-Don't go. -Please.

Great work, everyone!

-Great work! -Great work!

We'll finally get to start working as actual dietitians.

So, where have you all been assigned?

A university.

I was afraid I'd end up in a rural area. I'm glad it's in Seoul.

I'm going to a hospital.

What about you, Yu-mi?

A company cafeteria.

A company? Which one?

It's called the Daebok Group.

That's the bomb.

No, not the bomb. Daebok.

Yes, Daebok.

That company is famous for their underwear.

Yu-mi, good for you.

Working for a company is the best.

You won't have to deal with kids, the menu is always the same,

and above all...

it's the best place to date at work.

Glasses up.

No one is going home tonight.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Blackie.

Blackie?

Blackie.

What's wrong?

Hey, your stomach is...

Your stomach is...

Hey, Blackie!

You're going to be a mother.

This is why people say it's always the quiet ones.

You cheeky little thing.

I can't...

smell it anymore.

BEER AND BOOK

Here's your beer.

Ma'am, you can't sleep here.

You and your taste.

Ma'am.

Ma'am? You can't sleep here.

Darn you!

Gosh.

What time is it?

Two o'clock.

Your place is right upstairs. Why do you always sleep here?

You even snore.

Reading a book helps me fall asleep.

Why do you read these books every night? To dream of something?

Your eyes are bloodshot.

Hey, I'm free to have any dream I want.

Anyway, seems like business is going well. You have customers even at this hour.

It's tiring.

Isn't tomorrow your first day of work?

-Yes. -You should go up.

-Do you want a wake-up call? -Yes, thank you.

Hey, there's a door.

Goodness.

BEER AND BOOK

Daebok Group...

Will it be the bomb or an actual bomb? I'll find out once I'm there.

You have a business report meeting from 8:26 a.m. to 8:52 a.m.

From 9:03 a.m. to 9:48 a.m.--

Let's stop there for now.

-You didn't get any sleep again? -It's not the first time.

-Have you eaten? -I can take care of myself.

Please look after yourself. You might collapse any day now.

Mr. Jang.

By any chance, do you match your underwear with your outfit, too?

If you're curious...

First floor.

The doors are closing.

Mr. Cha.

Did you see her?

Who do you mean?

The woman in black who was getting in the elevator.

Maybe you really are ill.

You don't have a fever.

I knew it.

This is so great.

Where's the dietitian's office?

DIETITIAN KIM HA-YEONG

This is it. This is my seat.

It's okay. At least I have a job.

DIETITIAN LEE YU-MI

You did it, Yu-mi.

I'm so proud of you.

I'm Lee Yu-mi, the dietitian in charge of Daebok Group's cafeteria as of today.

Nice to meet you.

All right!

Where did you work before?

-I worked at a school-- -A university?

No, an elementary school. The kids were very cute.

Cooking for a company is completely different from school meals.

The numbers are doubled.

Don't take it lightly.

Yes, ma'am. I'll do my best--

Yeah. Don't do your best.

-Pardon? -Oh, right.

Ms. Wang hates that.

New recruits always go around in high spirits, trying to do their best,

and then they cause trouble.

Just do your job. We'll manage the rest.

In that case, what should I do?

The ingredients are just coming in now because they were delivered late.

I'll show her the way.

I'll go.

Let's go.

Sure, okay.

That's the end of the assembly. Keep up the good work!

But Je-ni has to peel the onions.

She snatched up her chance to slack off.

We have to go over and bring the additional ingredients we ordered.

Okay.

Anyway, the main cook must be shy around new people.

Do you think she'll be more friendly once we get closer?

No, don't expect that to happen.

The former dietitian quit because of her turf war with Ms. Wang.

Oh, really?

Anyway, how old are you?

I'm 28.

We're the same age.

Gosh, he's so sexy.

As always, he's in matching colors.

Who is that?

The director's assistant.

He's unusual.

I thought executive assistants only wore black suits.

That's how he relieves his stress.

What?

The director here has an awful temper.

You know the kitchen timers?

He uses one of those during meetings.

They call it a ticking bomb or something.

By any chance, does the director eat at the cafeteria often?

No.

I've worked here for over a year,

but I've never seen him eat at the cafeteria.

I heard he only eats instant food or bread because he doesn't want to waste any time.

That can't be good for his health.

But he still has huge muscles and broad shoulders.

I'd love to strip him down.

DIRECTOR CHA JIN-WOOK

Mr. Cha, it's time for your business report meeting.

Right.

Eun-bi!

Do you know where I can get my pass?

-Go to the admin department, fourth floor. -Okay. Thank you.

Going up.

Seventh floor.

Gosh, darn it.

I need to get my head on straight

unless I want to get fired.

Goodness.

Gosh, my coin.

Where did it go?

You can go up first.

Goodness.

What is this? Where's my 500 won?

Take a seat. Sit down.

I don't want any time wasted on standing up and sitting, so sit.

I heard you call this a ticking bomb.

I'd love to give an award to whoever coined it. It's a great name.

Let's end the meeting before the bomb goes off.

We can make use of the issue of the director modeling for the brand.

-Why don't we hold a free hug event? -That's enough. Next.

We can let a male customer try on our product in-store,

to show the temperature change of his testicles.

-It's where the sperm is most lively-- -Enough.

Our products are made with textiles which are used for spacesuits,

so we can get an astronaut...

Are you kidding me?

Do you want to fight me? Next idea.

Nothing?

There's...

There's a number of you here. Is this all you can come up with?

-Mr. Cha! -Mr. Cha!

TAEGEUK HOSPITAL

How can something like this happen?

You should always think of your health first.

You can leave your work to us, and get some--

Leave my work to you? So you can ruin it?

I know your focus is on your work, but you should eat better.

Exactly! That's what I'm saying.

-You're here-- -Stop thinking about wasting money.

We're still in an emergency.

You don't have to flock in

to tell me what to do during your working hours.

You should all...

just do your job.

Yes. We should.

Rest up, sir.

Let's go.

I will turn in my resignation by tomorrow.

-What? -It's my fault that you collapsed.

I do not qualify to be your executive assistant.

What are you talking about?

-That other guy should go. -Thank you for everything.

Mr. Jang. Mr. Jang. Hey!

Come on, U-jin! My gosh!

What do you want me to do?

What do you want from me?

Make sure you eat three meals a day.

What are you saying? You're insane.

-Goodbye. -Fine. Okay.

Okay. I'll eat. I will.

Then I will manage your meals.

What? You're hiring another dietitian?

You can't do this on my first day.

Please hear me out.

I thought of hiring another dietitian for him,

but I thought it would be more reasonable, efficient, systematic, and economical

for the dietitian of our cafeteria

to be in charge of preparing healthy meal boxes for our director.

Are you saying I won't be fired?

Only if you accept this offer.

I'll do it. We'll be in charge of preparing the director's meal boxes.

He's also a part of this company, so we should do it.

She's pissed.

That's insane.

How is she going to deal with the aftermath?

From now on, you can make healthy meal boxes for our director

three times a day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

All three meals of the day?

Is there a problem?

No, not at all.

We're in charge of making food for all the employees,

so making lunch boxes should be a piece of cake.

Don't worry.

It'll be for the next three months,

until the director's health is fully restored.

I look forward to seeing what you can do, Ms. Lee.

Excuse me.

It'll be okay, right?

Who said you could do that?

I mean, he's this company's director.

So what?

What?

Well...

-So-- -He has hands and feet.

Tell him to come down and eat.

I mean, he's an awfully busy man who has no time to do that. So he--

We're busy, too!

Don't you know it's against the rules to take the cafeteria food out?

I know you're clueless, but you didn't even ask us!

Do you think making food is a joke?

Do you think we just whip it up with a wand

when you throw us the menu?

Don't be so angry, Ms. Wang.

Come on, Ms. Wang.

You need to find a way to do this alone.

Don't even think about making us do your job.

Everyone, just stick to your duties.

-Okay? -Yes.

Don't even try.

Of course, it's right to use proper language.

However, if you set a strict standard for the use of newly-coined words,

it might create double, and even triple generational gaps.

Let me escort you home.

The language of the younger...

Let's go to the office.

The doctor said you need--

Will you listen to the doctor or me?

To the doctor. We're going home.

JU HYE-RI

Wait.

Did you tell her?

Oh, she said she'd look through every hospital in Seoul if I didn't.

If I run into her right now, I'll be hospitalized again!

Darn it, let's go. Push the button.

No, this isn't good.

-The emergency stairs! -Gosh, darn it!

Jeez, Jin-wook. How dare you ignore my call?

Darn it, he's really pissing me off.

-She looks just like the girl on TV. -It is her, isn't she? Goodness.

Please prepare the meal box in a hurry.

What?

Right now?

Okay.

I understand.

Goodbye.

Goodness.

What do I do?

What should I do?

If he collapsed, he should be getting some rest.

Why'd they discharge him already?

It'll be for the next three months.

I look forward to seeing what you can do, Ms. Lee.

Fry, fry the fried rice

It's all burnt.

Here you go.

Great work.

Right!

One second.

Goodbye.

That was nerve-racking.

GET WELL SOON AND ENJOY! - DIETITIAN LEE YU-MI

What is this?

I'm not sure.

-Vegetable porridge? -Porridge, my ass.

Does this look like porridge to you?

Even dog food looks better than this.

Get rid of this.

-Enjoy your meal. -Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

One second please.

Yes, this is Lee Yu-mi.

What?

I have to make it again?

We're out of cucumber kimchi. What now?

Already?

What do we do?

Mr. Cha, your meal is here.

I have to go out.

All of a sudden?

DIETITIAN LEE YU-MI

Gosh, his meal box for dinner.

Oh, yes. I'm bringing his dinner...

What?

Mr. Cha will go home right after he's finished with his work outside.

You could've told me that earlier.

BEER AND BOOK

Can I have some water? Fill up the glass with ice please.

What's going on?

Hey.

You left the shop open and slacked off?

I was feeling heavy, so I played a game of basketball.

Mr. Jung.

Could you sign this?

Sure.

JUNG HYEON-TAE

Thank you.

You own a bookstore, and you're a bestselling writer.

Must be nice to be raking in the money.

I just got here after running around all day long.

I'm more jealous of you than any old rich kid.

You said you were harassed like a lady at a royal kitchen.

You look down. Do you want beer?

I quit drinking.

I just can't drink, period.

Why not? Does it make you read erotic novels out loud, Ms. B?

-I told you to stop calling me that. -Don't come near me.

-Stop. -I told you to stop calling me Ms. B!

-That hurts. -Stop it. Don't do it!

-You! -Goodness!

-Stop it. -You!

Fine. Let's stop. Stop.

Okay, truce.

Don't be so cute to Mr. Jung.

You devilish brat.

Meal boxes are nothing. I can do it.

I can do this.

I'm a super-ultra-dietitian. The best in the universe.

I made...

bulgogi with rice today.

Can I look forward to the quality?

Of course.

Goodbye.

I hope it'll be okay.

Ms. Lee! The extra bananas were just delivered.

Okay.

You must eat it for your health even if it tastes bad.

Okay. Leave it there and go.

Yes, sir.

If you skip a meal again, I will resign.

I got it! Come on!

I'll eat it!

Smells like food.

Na-yeong, can you come in for a second?

Yes, sir.

And don't tell Mr. Jang.

He threw it away without having a bite?

Are these our main products for the upcoming season?

Yes, sir.

These were made with natural materials like lyocell and modal fibers,

and these also have isolated structures, which improves cleanliness.

Have you tried these on yourself?

Of course.

I can't wear anything other than our products.

Chairman Cha.

Has Hye-ri called you?

Pardon?

I like Hye-ri.

She'd make the perfect daughter-in-law.

I don't like how immature she is.

If I find a mature woman...

will you date her?

-No. -You need a wife--

At least she can make sure you eat.

I have my wife right here.

Were you hurt by a woman?

What?

What are you talking about?

Piles of women were hurt because of me.

Unbelievable.

You know that, Mr. Jang. You do too, Mr. Kim.

Wait.

Father.

Chairman.

You know me.

I wouldn't say there are piles.

Are you sure the director isn't in?

Yes, he's not in his office.

Then can you pass this onto him?

What is it?

Let's go.

What?

You're hiring another dietitian? You can't do this on my first day.

You gave me a sense of humiliation.

Out of all those companies and cafeterias?

Man, I'm ruined.

I can't believe I have to cook three meals a day for that jerk.

A one-night stand?

You eat three meals a day made by your employee?

Hey, that's interesting.

I can't trust anything you say or eat any of the food you make.

How can I trust you and eat the food that you make?
