Original subtitles

Hey, do you want to be my lover?

Lover?

Whose lover? Yours?

Let's see. You have a nice jawline and you have a nice nose.

What are you doing? Seriously.

Don't worry, it won't wear out your face.

You really must be gay.

Not that it matters to me.

Just apologize for ragging on my parents and give me the money for my scooter, now.

-We need to talk. -Let me go.

Where are you taking me? Let me go.

EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

What are you doing?

I'm trying to give you money.

Then open your wallet,

not your laptop.

And before we go further, apologize for ragging on my parents.

What are you looking at? Apologize.

Fine. I apologize. Satisfied?

Look into my eyes and say it with some sincerity.

I was wrong to bring up your parents. Sorry. Satisfied?

"Sorry" without the "satisfied."

I was wrong to bring up your parents. I'm sorry.

Now give me the money for my scooter.

-Name? -How much will you give me?

-Your name. -Koh Eun-chan.

-Your resident ID number? -840805-2371292.

Hey. Can't you do anything right?

It's one-three.

Mens' IDs start with a one.

Keep going.

What's the rest?

1371292.

I don't get it.

Why are you asking this stuff? Just give me the money.

You said you needed money so I'm trying to give you a job,

but I can't trust you

so I'm getting your information.

-What job? -Playing my lover.

-Whose lover? -Mine.

Of all the... You look normal enough.

You already have a girlfriend. The one whose bag I got back.

"You got hurt!" Her. Am I wrong?

She isn't someone you can talk about.

Why can't I talk with my own mouth?

Just come to my blind dates and pretend to be my lover.

Just infuriate my blind dates and get paid.

Are you in or not?

It doesn't seem too hard to do as long as you pay me.

Your ID.

Where the heck did I put it?

Oh, right. I left it at home.

Why do you want my ID?

How can I trust a punk like you?

You were in cahoots with a purse snatcher.

"Punk." I'm not a punk. I really had nothing to do with that purse snatcher.

I mean it...

Try anything funny, and this goes on a wanted poster.

Fine. But I need an advance.

I need exactly, two, four, six... Make that eight million won.

I need eight million won.

-Forget it. -Wait!

This is when we negotiate.

How about a million per job?

-Half. -Forget I mentioned it.

How about 300,000 won?

Maybe 100,000 won?

Make it 200,000 won. That's as low as I go.

-As you will. -Mister.

Fine, 100,000 won per job,

plus money for transportation, food, snacks.

-That's highway robbery. All that... -Clothes.

...is included.

It will cost extra whenever you touch me.

It will vary by where you touch.

Head, 20,000 won. Face and shoulders, 30,000.

-He thinks I'm a pervert. -Waist, back, 50,000.

Arm around my shoulders, 70,000. A hug, 100,000, and a kiss...

That's as far as I go.

How much if I jump you?

You were on top of me this morning. How much will you give me?

Jeez, you petty old man.

You're the one who tripped me.

Nevermind.

I'll give you 500,000 won for your scooter and pay the rest after you do the job.

Advance.

I need the money urgently. It's the truth.

I won't do it unless you pay me in advance.

Is that your car?

Why is this hotel in such a remote place? It's so difficult to get here.

My joints are killing me.

Give me a lift to the subway station, please.

This is awesome.

-Be quiet. -Okay.

Times like these call for some music--

Don't touch anything.

Okay.

What the heck?

How can you laugh?

I almost got into an accident because of you!

You scared me half to death.

Don't worry. I'll bring you back if you die.

Mister, I promise I'll stay still from now on.

Oh, no. What the heck is going on?

I swear I didn't press anything.

Oh, no. I need to grab on, but...

It opened.

Drop the act.

Wow, this is so cool.

So this is why people ride around in convertibles.

How fast can this car go?

It's none of your business.

What are you doing?

It's dangerous. You punk, sit down!

This is awesome. This is so amazing!

Favor, please?

I'll pay you 20,000 won. Let's take a lap.

Hello, everyone!

I needed money and I'm going to get it

But I need even more money People come before money

Hello, people!

You're fired if you're even a minute late tomorrow, okay?

Okay. Thank you for today.

Get home safely!

What a freak.

Mom.

-Mom. -You're back.

Mom.

Wait. Let me finish writing this.

I'll make you dinner later.

What are you writing?

"Shoes are my enemy.

Imported products are the quickest way to bankruptcy.

Pink is the angel of death"?

You know how I go gaga whenever I see pink.

I've been thinking about it, and I must have been crazy.

My daughter's working 24 hours a day

in order to make money,

but whenever I see something pretty,

I lose control and buy them all--

Right you are.

You spend way too much for a mom.

Hey. Don't use my mudpack!

You're always using everything I buy.

What did you get on your recent test?

See? Why do you start up with her?

You can never outtalk her.

That brat.

Mom.

What's this?

Oh, my. What's this?

I got a million won advance from my job and 500,000 to fix the scooter.

Why did they give you such a large advance?

You're not...

Not anyone can be an escort.

They would hire me, but--

-Watch your mouth. -Why you...

Tell me the truth, did you borrow from a loan shark?

I would never.

Don't you trust your own daughter?

Of course I trust you.

Who else do I have to trust? Your sister?

But this money isn't nearly enough to pay for Dong-suk's ring.

First, we'll take the money out of Eun-sae's college fund.

We'll just earn more money later.

Jeez. Don't look so sad.

Okay. I'm going to peel as many chestnuts as possible.

Let's have a party! Party!

But for under 10,000 won?

Were you going to spend more?

Let's have a party! Party!

Sorry.

I'll peel many, many chestnuts.

Yoo-joo, is this a lion?

That's right.

Yoo-joo, draw me a flower, please.

-After I'm done with this. -Okay.

-It's time to eat, Ye-jin. -Okay!

-Bye, Yoo-joo! -Bye!

Yoo-joo, it's time to eat!

You haven't had dinner yet, right?

Let's have meatballs.

I don't eat meatballs. I've told you it many times.

Is that right?

When you asked me to meet you here, I kind of figured.

What do you mean?

Let's go.

Where are we going?

To the owner of those meatballs.

I'm here to see you.

There you go, lying again.

Sweeper's dad!

Sweeper's dad!

Hey, Milk Girl.

-Hello. -Hi.

Want a beer?

Want some ice cream?

You must not like being called "Sweeper's dad."

I'm Choi Han-sung.

I'm Koh Eun-chan and I'm 24 years old.

How about you?

I'm 31.

Oh, 31. You're a lot older than I am.

That's right.

What happened with the pride or money matter?

You asked me about that at the wine bar.

Oh, that.

I go back and forth. I can't seem to make my mind up these days.

Aren't you ever like that?

Me?

I don't know about myself,

but I have a friend who has been like that recently.

My friend, he...

Never mind. Forget I mentioned it.

Why?

Do you think I'm too young to understand?

I know all there is to know.

But forget it, if you don't want to tell me.

You got some on your face.

Not there. Here.

Can't you tell me about your friend?

I'm very curious.

It's really nothing.

Tell me.

Well, so... this friend...

was in love with this woman,

but she left two years ago.

Did they break up or was he dumped?

Both.

No. I guess it would be correct to say he was dumped

since she started seeing someone else.

And then?

But...

that woman reappeared again like magic after two years,

and he has been torn about whether or not to get back together with her.

That's a tough decision to make.

So, if your friend decided

to see that woman again,

then that woman would return to your friend

and the friend would be back with his girlfriend...

This is so confusing.

I'll just call them "Guy A" and "Girl B."

So does Guy A still love Girl B?

He can't quite tell yet.

Why can't he tell?

If you miss her and you want to hear her voice,

then you love her.

You should try to be franker with yourself.

Oh, no.

Sorry, but I need to go. I'll see you later.

Yes, I'm on my way home.

-Sorry. -Okay.

Of course I didn't eat it--

-How could you eat the whole thing? -I...

I'm off.

Hey, I'm right in front of the house.

Open the door. I'm climbing up the stairs.

I feel sorry for you, Han Yoo-joo.

Do you like Han-sung that much?

Fine. You don't have to answer that.

Here comes the owner of the meatballs.

Good luck.

You're back.

-Hey. -Later.

I broke up with DK.

I know. You're famous.

It's all over the news.

I want to...

get back together with you again.

I just really wanted to tell you that I was sorry--

What are you thinking about?

I was just wondering

how big a chump you took me for.

You think you can walk out of my life like that

and just walk right back in?

Do I look that easy to you?

It's not like that.

Just go.

Let's never see each other again.

You're really different from me.

Three years ago,

when you said, "Leave,

let's never see each other again,"

I wept like a fool.

Is it because you have a lot of experience?

Nothing fazes you at all.

I've changed a lot, right?

I've become a petty bastard who sleeps with a woman out of revenge.

There was a time when just the sight of you got me excited...

and I was all right with anything you did.

Go.

She really left just because I told her to.

There's nothing to be scared of, Koh Eun-chan.

Yeah.

Excuse me! Wait!

Stop the bus! I'm sorry.

Where am I? Darn it. Wait!

I knew it.

He isn't here and he won't answer his phone.

I was too naive.

I was a moron for believing a punk like that. Darn it.

Hey. You beg for an advance with your puppy-dog eyes,

and you don't show up?

I'll circulate your photo all across the country!

You punk. You bastard!

-You ass-- -Mister!

Why are you so late?

I'm sorry. I was late and went back home again

and got off the bus at the wrong stop and ran the rest of the way...

I'm so tired.

What are you saying?

Look how you're dressed.

What about it?

What the heck is this? Come with me.

I even did my hair.

Check this out.

-Red light, green light, one, two, three! -Red light, green light, one, two, three!

-Red light, green light, one, two, three! -Red light, green light, one, two, three!

-Red light, green light, one, two, three! -Red light, green light, one, two, three!

Ready?

Dongin Foods is famous for coffee, right?

She looks boring and sounds boring.

Have you seen that movie?

Is it possible to be this bored after only five minutes?

People often say I resemble Meg Ryan.

Do I really?

I do, don't I?

Please excuse me for a while.

This is turning out to be more fun than I thought.

Hush.

Don't make any mistakes.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Tilt your head.

Are you playing with me?

You said to tilt my head.

The other way.

You bastard!

Wait a minute. This is no way for a cultured lady to act.

I'll show you culture!

Hey!

He was caught kissing some guy.

Hey, Eun-chan!

And he was beaten up by a girl.

He's doing everything he can to get out of the dates.

-All right. -All right. Yeah.

What?

Hey. Stop overreacting. Calm down already.

That was my first kiss.

That wasn't a kiss.

I was just so overwhelmed that I...

That's my first kiss too. With a guy.

I feel sick to my stomach.

Let's go eat.

That's right. Go ahead.

I'm going to bankrupt you before this day is over. That's it.

-What should we do now? -That's it.

Rumors that the heir of Dongin Foods is gay are spreading like wildfire.

What if his dad hears about this?

You have to do something, Mom.

Don't worry about it. I have a good idea.

You just leave everything up to me.

That's it. Make my day. Okay, I'll raise you again.

-Mom! -Stop talking to me!

Jeez. For crying out loud.

I lost because you broke my concentration.

Can't you leave me alone while I have some fun before going to work?

Call the car so I can leave for work and call Gye-sik and tell him

to come to the company right away.

-Gye-sik? -Yes, Gye-sik!

That's it.

That's it.

PRINCE COFFEE SHOP BUSINESS PLANS

If you make two million won a month, how many cups of coffee do you sell a day?

About 300 cups a month?

If you deduct rent, cost of ingredients, and maintenance, you're left with nothing.

Can you even afford to eat every day?

You know I like noodles and instant food.

I have a place to live, albeit tiny.

I get by since I'm not trying to strike it rich.

Then you should keep on scraping by without money.

Why are you trying to revive it?

It has memories of a beautiful time. I don't want to give it up--

I thought that harlot ended up marrying another man,

so why are you still talking about her?

-I can't seem to forget-- -Shut up!

Don't you dare talk about that harlot to me.

She brainwashed you to close the successful butcher's shop

and made you start a coffee company you knew nothing about.

I supported you and even sent you abroad to study.

But you worked only five years and quit

to open that cafe, saying you wanted to live only for her.

Then you stopped visiting me, and now show up after ten years to ask--

I visited you during every holiday but you refused to see me each time.

Why would I want to see someone who abandoned me?

I was worried about your health,

but you're just as loud as ever. I'm glad.

What are you laughing about?

Three months.

I'll give you money, so increase sales by three times in three months.

Three times? You must be kidding.

-I'm too old to be kidding at my age. -Then?

I'm going to send you an idiot as big an imbecile as you.

You two work together and try the best you can.

It's your last chance, do you understand?

If he's as big of an imbecile as I am, that's going to be tough.

Now, let's see. Minus the advance that you already gave me,

plus the extras for touching my cheek and kissing me.

How much does that come out to?

For someone so money-hungry, you're really slow.

Head 20,000. Face 3 times, so 90,000.

Back twice, so 100,000. Arm on shoulder 70,000 times 3.

And the kiss... Special price of 150,000.

Wrist 20,000. Neck-grab 50,000. How much is all that?

-How much is it? -How should I know?

Hold on for a minute. I just have a lot on my mind.

Our landlord raised our deposit and I have my sister's tuition.

By how much did your deposit go up?

Why? Are you going to give me that much money?

It's about five million won.

Here's how much you owe me. We should be precise about this.

By the way, take off your watch.

Jeez. Can't you just give me this knock-off?

Why?

You're so petty. Go ahead and take it you petty, miserly man.

Gosh.

Why are these cups so dang small?

You're unbelievable, you know that?

Can you really only handle one glass of wine?

It might loosen you up if you drank a little more.

You drink as much as you want and enjoy your life.

Okay.

What's wrong?

I know I smell it somewhere.

Don't you smell coffee?

Coffee in a Chinese restaurant?

Hey, Jeong-seong!

I'm sorry!

Watch where you're going!

How annoying.

-I spilled coffee on my clothes. -Welcome.

Can I have some napkins?

-Here. -Thank you.

Are you a bloodhound?

How can you smell coffee from outside?

As a matter of fact, my nickname is Bloodhound.

I wasn't going to say this,

but I could smell everything you ate when you kissed me.

You had rice this morning, right?

What is it now?

Something smells foul. What a stench.

This stench is overpowering.

Hey, can't you smell that?

I thought you had to pee.

I was peeing behind a truck

when it suddenly took off.

I know I smell something foul. Gross.

Where is it coming from?

Okay. You've made your point.

You have a good sense of smell. Now, eat.

Okay.

Anyway, where do you put all that food

in that tiny body of yours?

I have to eat more so I can work.

I have to store up as much as I can. This is a rare opportunity.

What will you do with what you store up?

Throw it up and eat it again?

Do you want to see it?

Hey. Everything you've done thus far made it hard for me to eat already,

so cut it out.

Hey, did you just...

This is the water.

You're completely offbeat!

How many times is that already?

Again, from the top.

-Let's try that again. -Han-sung.

It's 10 p.m.

and we worked through lunch and dinner.

Sorry, everyone! Go and eat.

Are you all right?

Yeah. Get something to eat.

What did I do to deserve this?

Why are there so many stairs?

What kind of a guy passes out from that?

He's so heavy.

This is insane.

Hey, mister.

Wake up. You're home.

Hey, mister.

Hey.

Hey, mister.

Gosh!

Hey, mister.

Wake up. You're home.

Hey, mister!

My goodness!

Jeez.

Shit!

Wait.

I'm leaving if you don't get up on the count of three!

One, two, three.

Hey, Eun-chan.

What are you carrying? This is a pig.

My employer.

Employer? Hey!

My freezer has room. Want me to keep that for you?

No.

Eun-chan. I made stew.

Hello?

Hello. Yes. How have you been...

Excuse me? What about Eun-sae?

I'm sorry. I'll be right over.

-Hello! -Hello!

-Hello! -Go-yong.

Take this.

I have to go somewhere but I'll be right back,

so give this to the handsome man sleeping over there.

-Okay. -Louder!

Okay!

Take off your shoes.

Why did you have to write that garbage in your notebook for my class?

Who told you to write this garbage?

-Hey. Eun-chan! -Hello.

You better get your sister to shape up.

Just look at this.

She's using her notebook as a ledger.

I'm sorry.

How dare you take that attitude with me? Stand up straight.

I'm sorry, sir.

Where did you get the money?

How did you lend out over a million won?

It's money that I saved here and there.

How could you save that much from here and there?

I stole from the money from peeling chestnuts

and sewing eyes on the dolls. So?

Don't you dare glare at me.

I wanted to register at a singing academy. So what?

Why did you hit me?

You have no right to hit me!

You're not Mom or Dad! Don't give me crap just because you make money!

Don't you take that tone of voice with me. I've been too easy on you.

And can't I even say that as your big sister?

How dare you glare at me?

You should've told me you wanted to go--

Are you rich?

You don't have that kind of money.

You're all talk when you've got jack.

I'm going to keep lending money to kids no matter what you say.

Not just to kids in my class,

but to the entire school.

And when I become a famous pop star,

don't expect anything from me. Got it?

You'll keep lending out money?

Of course.

But I'm not going to keep a book.

I'm going to memorize everything in my head.

Later on when I become famous,

I'll set you up with your own taekwondo gym.

Excuse me. Are you a hobo?

-It's a snake. -It's a snake.

Ready?

Basic stance.

Begin the basic movements.

-Low block. -Low block.

-Torso block. -Torso block.

-Face block. -Face block.

-Taekwon! -Taekwon!

-Attention. At ease. -Hey.

Why did you dump me here?

I lugged you here so you wouldn't get mugged.

Just eat up and go.

-Let's do that again. -Okay.

Ready?

Master.

Master, my butt.

He pooped in his pants.

-I pooped too. -Me too.

-Me too. -Me too.

I'm losing my appetite.

-Me too. -Me too.

Hey. So all of you guys pooped.

-Me too. -Me too.

Let's go show that man your poop. Look at this poop.

Hey. Don't. Jeez.

I can't believe you dry heaved just from the kids' poop.

It's not like you don't poop.

Stop talking about poop.

This belonged to my dad.

I don't usually lend it to others.

How about what I bought you?

I washed them. Do you want wet clothes?

I have to get back to the kids.

Change quickly and come.

The decor is all over the place.

Maybe hodge-podge is their theme.

"Eun-chan's daily schedule."

Deliver milk, peel chestnuts,

help around the house...

No wonder Grandma calls me a slacker.

Wow, he was adorable when he was young.

What are you laughing at, you slacker?

Now stand in one line. That's it.

We'll take turns kicking the bag.

Now kick. That was good.

-Have a nice day, Master! -Have a nice day, Master!

-Good work. -Bye.

-Get home safely. -Okay.

"You said you wanted this. It's a present for a job well done."

Five... Five million won?

Is this guy crazy?

I'm lending you 3.5 more than your pay so make sure to pay me back.

Did Mom drug his stew?

One, two...

One, two...

One, two, three.

I have an exhibition in a month.

You can actually get work done.

I can't at all.

My life's a mess.

But you're working.

You can work.

Are you ignoring me?

No matter what I say now,

you won't like it.

Do you know me that well?

Then you must know how hurt I was...

when you left me.

How I missed you like crazy,

then told myself it was hopeless and to forget you,

and just how hard it was for me.

You must know very well.

I just can't compete with you.

You don't seem to be fazed at all,

no matter how much I try to hurt you.

Thank you.

I didn't think you would come.

I want you...

to feel my pain.

Cry.

Why won't anyone hire a talented, hardworking person like me?

Why?

How will I repay the 3.5 million won?

Doesn't he have any more blind dates?

He didn't say when he wanted his money by.

Should I ask him?

I'm so nervous.

But why am I nervous?

I don't know. Whatever.

DILIGENT KID

Hello?

Why are you calling at the crack of dawn?

You gave me a weird dream.

Crack of dawn? It's past noon already.

Why are you yelling at me?

I just called to ask by when I need to pay you back.

I want it back as soon as possible.

Don't you have any more blind dates?

I really enjoyed that job.

You want me to go on more blind dates just for you?

Like I said, I'll do anything.

But 100,000 won per job, okay?

No, thank you.

Cheapskate.

When I get make money, I'll pay you back first.

-Bye! -Wait.

Thank you.

Hello?

He hung up without saying goodbye.

I need more sleep.

Why you...

It's already late in the afternoon, you lazy fool. My goodness...

Just take a look at yourself.

Come with me.

Of all the... That crazy fool.

Grandma, be careful.

Look at this.

-Grandma! -Oh, my.

-Are you all right? -Oh, my.

They should just demolish this place for crying out loud.

Why that...

You idiot.

Is this a coffee shop or a pigsty?

Let's go.

I know you know him, but let's get coffee elsewhere.

We're not going anywhere.

This is your new workplace.

What?

Go and say hi.

He's your mentor.

Did you really not get paid?

I knew he was no good,

always going around smiling like he was a good guy.

Didn't I tell you not to trust people too much?

If I knew he was going to run, I would have caught him.

But he took off in the middle of the night. What now?

This is your workplace from now on.

Why don't you talk seriously about the business

with your mentor, Mr. Hong?

PRINCE COFFEE SHOP

A sharp nose, slim jaw line,

full, lush lips. Are you a guy or a girl?

-Who is this? -My lover.

Are you really going to pretend to be a guy?

What if you get caught?

Don't worry. I won't get caught as long as we don't bathe together.

She's flat-chested already.

They say every family has a delinquent. You're such a prick.

Why do you keep touching my hand?

This is of the highest quality.

I don't know. I don't want to run a business.

Aren't you too lazy to breathe?

Slacking off suits me.

You're not desperate enough.

Whatever. Screw it.

How can he not recognize such a pretty girl?

May I have your phone number?

What? Don't come home?

-Are you mad? -I got it, finally.

Why don't you have facial hair? You're old enough. Why are you so behind?

I'm a girl!
