- Episode 2 - - It's nice to meet you. - I'm Attorney Byeon Hye Yeong.

Attorney Byeon Hye Yeong, thank you for participating.

Attorney Kang, you've come! Have you been well?

Yes, thank you for participating.

You all are ready now, right? Okay, let's start!

Where we discuss various topics about love and marriage, welcome to Love and Battlefield.

Once again, we hope to have a pleasant and useful discussion about these various issues.

The first thing we are talking about today, is falling in love with your girlfriend's looks.Attorney, Byeon Hye Yeong

♫ When I told you that I love you ♫

♫ And you accepted me ♫

Let's break up. ♫ I want for nothing else in this world ♫

♫ I told you confidently ♫

Whenever she's late, she always gets mad at me. ♫ My growing greed made me embarrassed ♫

She's not answering. ♫ My growing greed made me embarrassed ♫

♫ Thinking about you all day long my heart is aching (like a child) ♫

How late are you going to be?♫ Thinking about you all day long my heart is aching (like a child) ♫

It's okay that you're late, just come. Should I buy tickets for the next showing?♫ I have a lot of tears (like a child) ♫

I'm not kidding with you, and this is not a joke. ♫ I have a lot of fears (like a fool) ♫

It's as the message says, I want to break up.

Don't call me ever again! ♫ That you are by my side, smiling ♫

Hye Yeong? Hello!

- What the heck?! What the... - The phone number you are calling ♫ I can't believe it ♫

- Is switched off. - Please move out of the way! ♫ I am so happy ♫

Out of my way! Move please.♫ I am so happy ♫

Hye Yeong! Why are you doing this? ♫ I am overwhelmed ♫

Did I do something wrong? If I did, you should tell me so that I know. ♫ I fear that when I open my eyes everything will disappear ♫

Hye Yeong, I'll make everything right, I'm the one at fault ♫ I fear that when I open my eyes everything will disappear ♫

Please meet with me, Hye Yeong!

Please come out! Hey, Byeon Hye Yeong!

Why the hell are you doing this?! Why?

Come out and meet me! I will break up with you like you want.

Just meet me! Right now!

Who are you? Unni is not here right now.

She's inside and I know it!

I said my sister really isn't here. She went to Australia on a working holiday.

Laughing?! You keep laughing?

Next is Attorney Byeon Hye Yeong. Do you think a legal solution is possible?

Yes, charges of stalking and threats are possible.

If someone has clearly communicated his/her rejection and you continue to harass him/her at home, that is stalking.

And messages that contain threats meet the legal standard for threats, as well.

Stalking is considered a misdemeanor.

If they do get arrested for stalking, the penalty is only ₩80,000. (about $80)

Even if you report it, does it realistically accomplish anything?

That is a good question.

That's why I said you must charge someone simultaneously for stalking and threats, to ensure a harsher punishment.

Recently laws have been enacted to increase punishments for threatening behavior, you see.

Ah, she did a good job dodging that. That fool, he isn't a professional in that field what does he think he's doing?

Yes, we just heard a great query and response to this issue, regarding law and reality.

Let's go to the next case. Before the wedding,

you discovered that your girlfriend has had plastic surgeries so you tried to break off your marriage plans.

Then you received a claim to compensate her for that, is that right?

Yes, what I don't get is that she is the one who deceived me and planned all this.

And she told my work colleagues and friends that I'm a shallow person who only cares about looks.

I am the one who suffered here, do I have to pay her compensation, too?

Let's hear both the attorneys' thoughts regarding this issue.

My opinion is that he does need to pay compensation.

Our laws do not say that physical looks can be considered a cause for divorce.

Therefore, we cannot determine that plastic surgery is enough reason to break marriage plans.

So in my opinion, he needs to pay for the mental and emotional damage that he caused.

In my opinion, he doesn't need to pay any compensation.

The bride was the one who intentionally hid the fact that she has had plastic surgery, and deceived him.

And even when the truth was out, she told everyone that he is a shameless person who only cares about looks.

He broke off the marriage because of the betrayal he felt, not just because of her looks.

That's right! That's what I wanted to say all along!

Spouses have a duty to be honest and not deceitful towards each other.

The bride broke that trust, and that is why their engagement was broken.

It's not as simple as only appearance issues.

If she had been honest with him from the beginning,

this whole situation would've been completely different.

If she did come clean from the beginning,

he probably would not have dated her at all.

Just a minute, please.

Earlier, you said that you dated her because she's pretty, right?

Yes.

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not trying to criticize him.

I also happen to be someone who loves beautiful women. You could even say that I am obsessed with looks.

I also don't mean to criticize you, but

we are not talking about women who are criticized for changing their looks through plastic surgeries.

We are talking about the duty of compensation for breaking the engagement.

That's what I'm trying to say here. Let's look at it this way, shall we?

If the wife deceived her husband, that she was completely broke, and after marriage,

it is discovered that she has about ₩1,000,000,000 in assets. (about $900,000)

This is clearly deceiving your spouse as well. So is that a cause for divorce?

It appears that you don't understand the definition of "deception."

What I'm saying is that the main issue is not the trust that was broken between them,

but the reason for that trust to be broken.

So my point is, he's not angry just because she deceived him.

He's angry that she deceived him about her appearance specifically, and that is why he decided to break their engagement.

- Therefore, I think this man should pay the compensation for breaking his marriage plans with her. - He's right!

- He is right! - He's right - I can see that.

Wow, he's good!

That's right!

The next applicants are

Miss Doo So Bin, Miss Kyung Yeong Hee, Miss Kim Mi Ra. Please go in.

My days always begin with searching in the job hunting websites,

wondering if a place I've interviewed at will contact me,

or if there is new job listing.

It has been three years since I've let go of my phone.

CPR certified, licensed to drive an oversized vehicle,

sports instructor certified—I earned certifications for many jobs.

But it hasn't helped me much.

In the past, I was a judo student, representing a youth organization.

When I received the bronze medal at a national competition,

it was the best moment of my life.

But soon after, I hurt my shoulders very badly.

So I had to give up sports,

and drastically gained a lot of weight.

And my shoulders would ache every time it rained.

Noticeable uneven breasts...

The aftermath of my injury was very difficult, and they were really the toughest times I've had.

But one day, I gathered my will and courage once again!

Even though I am a third year job seeker,

I didn't stumble on my obstacles, but overcame them.

I am someone who doesn't give up, and will always do my best.

I will become a loyal and passionate employee!

Please give me a chance!

Ms. Park Ha Na, Kim Dong Jun and Yang Ji Woo, please go in.

Excuse me,

I will go to the toilet and come back real quick.

Excuse me.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

[Team Leader Kim Yoo Joo] Kim Yoo Joo?

It smells like a pig here.

Next applicants Miss Lee Yoon Ah, Son Young Jin and Byeon Mi Yeong.

Please go in.

Yes.

Get your act together!

- Miss Lee Yoon Ah? - Yes!

You can speak three additional languages, Japanese, English and Chinese. Gabi Entertainment New Employee Recruitment

- Oh, you graduated from U Penn. - Yes, that's correct.

Your resume is impressive. What is your reason for applying to our company, Gabi?

I have always wanted to work for a company with an art and culture environment.

Our country's entertainment industry, now called Hallyu wave,

is an industry with great potential, in my opinion.

- Miss Son Young Jeon? - Yes!

You were working at S entertainment company but quit after one year?

Isn't that where everyone wants to work?

I have always wanted to be part of Gabi Entertainment.

To say it more specifically I'm into Gabi's artists.

I am your missing X chromosome.

Aigoo! You have good sense of humor.

Miss Byeon Mi Yeong?

Yes!

You participated in Judo, I see. Even became a national level athlete. You're small in stature though.

I was in the 52 Kg class.

Is that the lightest weight class?

No, 48 Kg is the lightest weight class.

You were an athlete, so you must have perseverance.

Yes! I have much perseverance.

I can endure well, to the point that people may say I am foolish.

But you are quite old, 31 years old.

The age of an assistant manager, not an intern.

That's right. By any chance are you planning to get married after getting hired here? Do you have a boyfriend?

No, I don't! I never had one in my past.

And I don't have one now, and I don't plan on having one in the future.

My goal is not marriage!

But wearing an ID tag and living as a hard-working, passionate employee.

So how does it feel to lose?

Bring it on.

How long has it been?

Do you have dementia? We just saw each other the other day.

Just like you said, we only saw each other.

We're only seeing each other right now, by chance.

It's been eight years, right? Since that day you called me and ended things in front of the movie theater, in such a bewildering way.

Is that so? It seems so.

You... Do you know how hard I tried to look for you after that day?

Do I need to know?

If you speak like that, I can't respond.

Well, it's not like you have to know that. Of course.

Wait, of course not. You should know.

While dating, I got dumped without knowing the reason. So at the very least,

I need to know why I got dumped. So, why did you dump me?

Just because I'm asking this, don't think I still have feelings for you.

It's not like I'm trying to make a move on you or anything. Don't get any wrong ideas.

I don't think that, either. You think I completely lack judgment?

That's a relief, that you can discern at least that much.

I just want to know the reason, that's all.

It's not as if you're a lizard, and I'm the lizard's tail.

So how can you cut me off so rudely and violently?

You! Why did you cut me?

Why did you cut me?

What do I do? I don't remember.

What?!

I don't remember, I said.

How can I remember the reason for my

break-up from eight years ago? That's a long time.

I'll be going first.

It was super nice to see you after eight years.

What?! She doesn't remember?

What are you trying to do, huh?

What is the point of knowing something from eight years ago?

What are you doing?

Are you a witness at a hearing? How could you not remember?

Let go of this hand. Right now!

Just tell me the reason. Why'd you dump me?

You were all here.

I was surprised because I thought you all left.

You've worked really hard today.

Not only are an eloquent speaker, but you look great on screen.

Yes. I am quite pretty.

You've worked hard.

Yes, you've worked hard too. See you next time.

This punk. You did so well!

- Do you want to do this more? If you do—- I don't!

You must do it.

Of course I should do it. Why are you even asking?

Because you said you wouldn't do it unless it was a mini-series.

I did, regarding daily dramas, I didn't talk about 30 episode dramas.

A drama with 30 episodes falls into the mini-series category.

Is it really categorized as a mini-series?

It's a mini-series, I said! Who is the writer?

The writer of "Descendants of Mars." ("Descendants of the Sun" parody)

Hey... This feels good.

The title is good, too. "Oh My Boss."

But Hyung, you have to audition.

Aud—

Fine, I'll do it. I have to.

In Hollywood, everyone has to audition. You don't know that, right? I do.

- Oh, yeah? - So who's the female actress?

Hey. But isn't this a romantic comedy?

It's not. It's a story about a father and son. The father gets cancer, and...

Ah ha, that's why you were asking who the opposite female was.

No. No. It's a mini-series. Yes.

Of course, it's mini.

- Hyung, why aren't you eating?- Huh?

Where's the food?

Why? There is steak here, and tansuhyuk (Deep fried pork with sweet sauce) is good. And the salad here too is—

This is tree bark, not meat.

And this tofu tang-soo-yook is soggy.

This salad is just dressing with a ton of sugar. I don't know what I should eat.

Then at least have some salmon. I got a lot because I know you like it.

Salmon is all about its vivid color. Look at the color here. I said, look. Would you eat this?

- You wouldn't, right? - Yes.

- Don't talk to me anymore.- Yes.

Ahn Joong Hee's "robot" acting skills brought him back in the public eye.

It's ranked Number 5. [Legendary Bad Acting]

With such bad acting skills when he first started his career, he's been given the nickname "The Robot."

We still talk about his legendary terrible acting skills, even after all these years. Let's go to the next news!

They're feeding off this for too long. It's not even bone broth.

Hyung, just endure it for a few days. These things come up suddenly but die down really fast.

Cha Jeong Hwan, bastard.

Let's see if I'm around until they close the lid on his coffin, this bastard.

When did you say the audition date was?

I'm back.

Did the filming go well today? Get washed up and let's eat.

- I have no thoughts for eating. - But you don't eat with thoughts. Hurry and wash up and come eat.

Yes.

Oh.

How did the TV show filming go?

You'll see it later.

You messed it up, right? With your personality...

With Unni's personality, if she had done well, she would be "sucking it up with a straw." (bragging non-stop about herself)

- What do you mean by that?- She wanted to say that sister would be over-flowing.

Use proper words, please.

Did you mess it up?

Why would I mess it up? Just wait and watch it later on.

It just wore me out, so I don't want to talk about it.

Yes, you must have been so nervous that it wore you out.

I won't ask anymore, so just eat.

Here, here, eat this. This is good.

How did the Gabi interview go?

I told you to not talk about it.

Mi Yeong, did you have a job interview today?

Why didn't you tell us? Did it go well?

Yes, the interview went well. But don't get your hopes up too much.

It's not even one of the top ten largest companies, but the candidates' resumes are incredible. It's no joke.

I was humiliated like a dog on a TV show.

I was screwed over by my ex-boyfriend.

I want to grab his head and feed it to a shark

or dunk his head into toxic waste for just 18 minutes.

This gosh-darn mother-fudger

jazz-hole son of an otter!

I'm sorry.

Kim Yoo Joo?

No way. How could Kim Yoo Joo work at a great place like that?

This is so unfair. And I'm still like this.

Never mind. Let's sleep.

Let's not even think about it.

It makes me even madder that I am losing sleep over her. So sleep.

How can someone like Kim Yoo Joo have such a great job?

What is this? At this time?

I can't sleep.

Oh. Don't look at me. I don't want to look at your eyes. I don't want to grow attached to you.

Hurry and come out. I feel like I'm going to die!

- Hey, you, Crap Lawyer! - Ra Yeong, you'll break the door!

Hye Yeong, come on out. Ra Yeong seems to be in an urgent situation.

Go to Grandma's house downstairs.

- Hey! - Ra Yeong!

Hye Yeong. Can you not come out for just a bit? Will it take long?

I don't know.

- Hey! - Maknae, just go to Grandma's.

You should have woke up when I told you to.

- Aish, I'm going to kill you! - Ra Yeong!

- Aigoo...- Oh.

We cannot have one peaceful morning.

Aigoo, there are only two people going off to work, and it's such a disaster.

It worries me when Mi Yeong and I eventually go to work every day.

Please make me worry about that as soon as possible.

- What are you doing this early in the morning?- Why'd you dump me?

Are you crazy, Cha Jeong Hwan?

Do you still not remember? Did you not think about it overnight?

Wow. Then think about it. I'll come back later.

You are a really crazy bast— Why are you doing this, really?

This is nothing compared to what you did to me eight years ago.

I will keep visiting you until I hear that reason.

So if you want to end this quickly, then think hard. Think of the reason why you dumped me.

Hello.

Good morning.

I can't even remember the last time that I had a breakfast with my son.

Even though he comes home once in blue moon, he doesn't even eat breakfast with us.

I really

thought that only someone like you, who is a reporter, is busy,

I didn't know a PD's work is so hectic. Did you know that, Dear?

How does the dried yellow corvina taste? I bought it recently. The taste is stronger than the previous one, right?

Honey, please let's exchange some conversation while we're eating, can we now?

I understand that you were busy when you worked, but you are retired now.

It's would be nice to exchange some conversation while we eat together, you know?

I have always waited for this day to come.

You have no idea how long I've waited for you to retire.

Did you finish reading the book?

What book?

"Beneath the Wheel." (by Hermann Hesse)

Ah, that book!

I started but stopped. No matter how far I read, the wheel doesn't show up.

If I keep reading, will it come out?

More importantly, you have no plans today, Dear, right?

Why?!

I just want to ask you to come with me to that building.

The interior for the cafe is almost done it seems, please go take a look at it for me.

If you say it's okay, then I'll start the cafe right away.

If you don't think it's okay, I'm thinking of selling that building.

I told you from the beginning not to buy that building, didn't I?

I already did, nothing can be done now.

Also, it's not like I bought it for nothing.

It is an investment for our retirement. But you seem to have no interest at all.

Why did I buy this building? I'm beginning to feel "a sense of shame" about it.

The word "sense of shame" will feel its own sense of shame.

Do you think that's the appropriate word?

You will go with me today, right?

Honey?

The Landlord has arrived.

She did? Okay.

Don't worry, I will do well.

Don't touch if you want disease-free water

Where are you going, taking that cake with you?

I'm going to fix the mess that you and me have caused.

I will go meet the building's owner and apologize to her and negotiate about the rent increase.

Let's go together. We made this mess together so we need to clean it together!

No Mom, please just stay out of this and don't make it worse.

Don't worry. Do you think I can't tell poop from bean paste? (have good judgment) Let's go!

Ah Mom, please don't be like this!

I told you don't worry! I'm Kim Mal Boon of Mok-Chok Market, after all!

Don't do anything to provoke her!

My husband's business is on the line here.

How nice would it have been if he had come along?

That temperament of his never gets old.

Hello, Madame.

Look here, Zebra!

What is it?

I just wanted to apologize in person.

Last time, I didn't know who you were, and I was out of line.

I meant to visit you sooner,

but you didn't visit your store for a few days.

Your store is really elegant and pretty.

But a luxurious cafe such as this will not work in this neighborhood.

No, what my mother means...

Your store looks so elegant and wonderful, so she is just worried.

That's why I bought some cake. Please try it.

No thanks. I don't eat from neighborhood non-franchise bakeries.

It would lower my status.

No, Madame,

It may be a cake from a simple humble bakery, but the cakes are really delicious.

I said no thank you.

I don't eat cakes from such stores. I only eat cakes from franchised bakeries.

Yes. I understand. Oh, please give it to me.

What are you doing?

Please let me carry it for you, Madame.

Are you planning to make me look like an owner who abuses her tenants?

Then, please carry this outside.

Yes, sure.

Also, the one next to it and the other one, too—all together.

Yes, sure.

Don't drag it! You'll scratch the floor!

Just pick it up, like this. That's right!

Do you have anything else you need help with, please let me help you. Is there more inside?

Why are you not listening to her?!

Madame said that she hates to hear that she's abusing you!

Grandma, where do you think you're going?

I'm going to drink water! Just water!

Excuse me Madame, about the rent.

If you raise it by ₩500,000 so suddenly like this, it will burden us.

Can't you cut us some slack?

I'm sure you know that the economy isn't so good these days, so the business isn't doing well either.

If your business isn't doing well then you should close your business. Why are you telling me?

Ah yes, you are right.

Also, don't worry. I have no intention of renewing your lease.

What?! Why?!

It's my choice and I do not need to explain my reasons to you.

- So when the lease expires, please move out of your store. - Madame!

How dare you touch me with your filthy hands?

I'm sorry, yes, I did take your trash out.

Madame! If you are doing that because of that incident,

please forgive me. I'm apologizing to you again.

No thanks, I don't need all this. I absolutely have no intention of renewing your lease. Let go of my arm.

- No, I won't! - Ah, this Ahjumma always grabs me whenever I meet her!

- Aren't you going to let go?! - I won't let go!

Ahjumma, are you a leech or something? What's wrong with you?

Fine, I am a leech—

Let go of her! Why are you not listening?!

She's definitely got dementia. Ah, I think I really need to sell off this building!

The neighborhood is really terrible.

Mom! Do you think I'm still 18 years old?

When are you going to stop throwing water at me and treating me like this?

Go home and change your clothes, you will catch a cold.

Someone who is worried that I'd catch a cold throws water at me?

I am 50 years old and plus half a day more.

Why did you have to beg and cling on her like this?! It was so embarrassing and in front of your mom, too.

That's why I told you not to come along!

Are you a laborer or a farmhand?

Why did you have to carry her trash and act so servile?

It's just a mere store. You can find another one.

To where? We had to sell his old shop with the great location and reputation.

Who's fault is it that we had to move here?! So where should we go next?!

Did you really have to bring up this topic in this situation?

- Mom? - Yes, it's all my son's fault.

My loser son failed in his business and caused his sister's husband to lose his store. And he made his one and only noona suffer like this!

Aigoo! To call that fool my son,

I was so crazy silly,

that I had a big bowl of seaweed soup, no, a potful of seaweed soup!

I haven't digested that yet. It's still trapped inside me.

But you had to bring up this topic at this time, didn't you? You cold hearted wench.

♫ I'm a beautiful girl, I'm a beautiful girl, beauty is my weapon ♫

Okay! #DietInstagram#Goodmorning

#Today my face is a little puffy #ugly

Pictgram

- What do you mean by ugly? That's not true. - So pretty!

- Yes, I'm so pretty... - Why would you need a diet?

Thank you guys.

Welcome, my fair members!

Bow to the front until you touch your knees.

Time for a handstand. Inhale, exhale, and extend your left leg.

Now lower your spine, one vertebrae at a time, and come down.

Now get up and take the cat's position.

Meow!

I can feel my son's hands.

What are you doing? Why are you crying like that?

The father is too pitiful.

Doesn't this make you sad, Hyung?

This is sad? Why is that sad?

Hey, is that a little overboard for two people who just met?

Hyung, you are off-putting in many ways, but it's times like this where you are even worse.

- Punk...- Hyung, that drama is all about father-son love and families!

You are right. So I have to access these types of emotions, right?

Hey, put something else on. I can't get into this one, so give me something better.

Hyung.

Do you not feel anything from this as well?

So this is why all the girls curse you so hard when you break up with them.

- Tae Bo? - What?

Do you want your ribs to be rearranged in a more wise fashion?

I think it's because you have lived apart from your parents for too long.

Hyung, you haven't been to your house in America for many years, right? And you don't call them often?

There is a saying that my mom always says.

Even within family, you need to see each other more to become emotionally connected.

So from today on, call Father every day.

Video chatting will be even better. That way, you can revive your relationship with your father.

Okay? You must.

- You go—so I can practice. - Why? I want to watch the rest— Oh!

Oh, why do you scare the crap out of me every time I see you?

Go. I told you to go.

I told you to go. Stop giving my Heol (turtle's name) stress.

Dad. How many years have you lost contact with me?

Uh... Someone who didn't... Someone who didn't...

Dad. You are someone who didn't keep in touch for years.

Hey! You. You. You.

Dad, how many... Hey. Ah. Ah.

Father! This is not it. I am going crazy.

Why is this so cringe-y and I feel like I'm going crazy?

I need to know how these emotions feel before I can act it out.

Mom.

Mom, how are you?

Did I ever call you often? No news is good news, they say.

I don't have much going on. I think I will be busy soon, though.

I'll let you know once it's confirmed.

Yeah. Yeah.

You don't have anything going on, right, Mom?

Stepfather is doing well too?

Mom.

Father

I just wanted to tell you to be careful so you don't catch a cold.

Yeah. Okay.

Heol. Who's your father?

Just because they say something like that, it's infuriating.

I mean, if you think about it, you get mad, right?

Yeah.

Father, I have to buy another textbook.

Is that so? Okay. Wait one second.

Will ₩30,000 ($30) be enough?

I will go now.

Work hard.

Your bandage is loose. You might step on it and trip.

I am not good at wrapping bandages.

You eat. I will do it for you.

Wow, were you an athlete? You do it so well.

Dad, were you an athlete? You never told us.

Huh? No.

Wow, your bandaging skills are amazing.

Oh! I got a phone call.

Hello?

Yes, I am Byeon Mi Yeong.

Yes.

Pardon?

Thank you so much! Thank you so much!

- What? What's happened? - Dad! I—

Why, what happened? You got in?

No. A package is here.

Package?

No. I will go get it quickly.

These lotto tickets. Could you tell me the last digits for the ones left?

Wait one second.

There are seven left.

Today is the 5th, right?

Yes.

Give me five tickets.

What are you doing?

I'm gathering all of the energy from the universe.

You really are going overboard.

I mean, even if you pray, don't you need to tithe in order for your prayers to be heard?

What are you doing? Without asking? Taking someone's instant noodles?

If you win, buy me a lunch box for a meal after drinking.

Deal.

S-s-slowly. Slowly.

Oh, OH!

Last one, oh!

Aish. Nothing.

- You have two more. - Yeah, I have two more.

Here.

Ah, Uncle. 10 cents is a bit...

For these things, you should hit rock bottom so that you can go up.

If you receive it for free, it's bad luck, they say.

- Hallelujah - Amen.

It's coming! Coming!

Coming to me, too!

Nah, ₩100,000 is nothing, even if you won.

It should be at least ₩1 million...

One hundred thousand wonOne hundred thousand wonOne hundred thousand won

₩100,000!

Giving and then taking it back is amoral. Isn't that right, my future civil servant nephew?

Well, I definitely paid for this so...

You gave it to me. That's it! I am going to use it on my Min Ha's tutor fees.

- I go to a hagwon too. (tutoring academy) - That's something to brag about!

It's been so hard recently because my paycheck got cut in half.

And you know Bo Mi's side dish costs are a hardship for me, right?

Wow, at least you have a wife to go through your struggles with.

I can't even date because I don't have money, let alone marry.

It's not because of the money, but because you don't have a girl.

I have a girl you know, a really pretty one!

R-really?

Really? Then, go for it...

Is a woman important? My cousin is more important.

You can use it for Min Ha's Hagwon's fee.

Yay!

- Thank you uncle. - I should be more thankful.

Miss Byeon Mi Yeong, you have been chosen!

Congratulations on being hired at Gabi.

Your first day is Monday next week at 9 am.

Omo. Are you okay?

Hey, keep your shoulders in. Is the entire hallway yours alone?

Ah, pig smell. Hey, don't let her rub off on you. Pig.

Why is Kim Yoo Joo there of all places?

There are so many companies in Korea.

How many job applications have I submitted, so why?

Kim Yoo Joo! Are you my mortal enemy from a past life? Why are you at that company?

Why on earth are you there, I am asking!

Why? Why? Why?!

Why me? Why should I waver because of Kim Yoo Joo's presence?

How many years has it been since I had this kind of opportunity?

Ouchie, ouchie.

Why isn't there anyone who can help me?

I am going crazy. Seriously.

Sister.

- What are you doing right now Unni? - I'm working.

When will you finish?

Why?

Unni, I have something take discuss with you.

Do it here!

I can't do it through text messages. Can I come to a place near your office?

Aish! What is it?

Unni.

- Are you finished talking? - Yes.

Just in case I forgot to tell you, this is definitely not about me.

My friend whom I've exercised with, it's her story.

So your friend, after years of job-searching, finally got hired in a place she has long dreamed of.

It's an entertainment company and soon to be one of the best in our country, Gabi Entertainment.

But of all the places, a person who bullied your friend is an employee in that company.

That's why she is worrying whether she should work there or not.

- Is that what you are saying? - Yes.

How much was she bullied?

She made fun of her about being fat,

and she schemed to ostracize her.

Any assaults or physical violence?

No, there wasn't.

Did she steal from her, or treat her as a slave, or threaten to kill her if she didn't obey?

No, that also didn't happen. It wasn't quite that bad.

Then, it could be the case of contempt.

She teased her and made fun of her. Yes, the crime of contempt.

Unni, she's not looking for a legal solution. Of course, she wants it, in her heart,

but she doesn't want her to go to jail or anything.

But calling her a pig

and ostracizing her, is it possible to take action against them through the law?

Do you think it's possible?

I don't think it's possible.

Wow, you know well.

Why are you looking at me like this?

I'm curious about your mental health.

Do you actually think this is something to worry about?

How many times did you fill out a job application during the past three years?

A hundred applications? A thousand? Among those companies, how many have accepted you?

Was there any company other than this one? If there is, tell me and I will let it go.

- Unni! - Don't give me any crap and answer truthfully.

Even a passing dog would know that it's YOUR story. So answer me, was there another company that accepted you?

No, there wasn't.

Then?

Don't be so flippant.

Then how am I supposed interpret this simple issue as a complicated one?

Are you in elementary school?

Even elementary students can't control their peer's actions. That's life!

But you are sitting here worrying about whether or not you should take the job that came to you after three years of waiting, because that company has someone you don't want to see?

Maybe you don't have a brain?

It's not like that. I'm telling you it's not such an easy issue!

You don't know anything.

Think about how desperate I felt when I contacted you.

What do you mean? Do you want to be unemployed for the rest of your life?

Who said I want to be unemployed for the rest of my life? It's not like that, I said.

Unni, did you think of the stress and mental damage and low self esteem that I might get

from going there every day and seeing her? Did you not think of that?!

Everybody is working so they could be happy, I want to lead a happy career life!

Lead a happy career life?!

You think life is a fairytale or something?!

Until when are you going to keep holding on to your fantasies?! Do you not think of our parents?!

Aren't you feeling sorry to the parents who took care of you all your life?!

When were you ever so considerate of our parents' feelings?!

Shut up!

You have to take that job! You need to bear it and endure.

What? Low self esteem? Stress you say?!

Hey, that's something everyone with a career faces every day!

You think I don't feel it too? Our dad and mom, you think they didn't go through it too?

Mom! Mi Yeong said that she got hired. She received the call a while ago.

- Unni! - Of course she is so happy she could die from happiness!

Let's all celebrate tonight.

Unni don't do this! Don't please.

Honey! Honey!

What is it?

Honey! Mi Yeong got employed! Our Mi Yeong got accepted!

What?

- She got hired? - Yes!

When did you get the news?

Just now. It's called Gabi... something. Anyway, it's a nice, big company.

Our third child has finally done it! Finally!

Where is she now?

She is with Hye Yeong and they'll be coming together at dinner time.

We have to party today. I'm going to the market now.

Then let's go together, it will be hard for you to carry everything by yourself.

- Let's go together. - I'd love that.

But I'm not holding back today, I'm going to go wild!

Of course, just buy everything! Spend, spend. If not now, then when?

It looks so good.

I want to eat that.

- Is it cod?- Yes, it's cod.

It looks really good.

No, the skin should be glistening. Not that one!

This one looks better. I'll take this one.

Why?

- Good luck with your business. - Thank you.

- Take care. - Yes.

Oh my, we bought a lot.

Is it not heavy? Should I carry one more bag for you?

It's not heavy at all. I feel like I'm walking on clouds.

Are you still going on with this?

Ah n-no.

That place seems like it's a newly opened store, that's why I turned.

I really don't feel like that anymore.

It's true. It has been a long time, after all.

Okay. Let's go.

Yes. We'll be late.

Many years and not one call?

I'm all ready now. I'll do it again.

Yes, please don't be so tense, just say it naturally.

Dad, you haven't contacted me for years. What?!

Dad, how much did you love my mom?

I loved her a lot.

Then why did you send us away?

Why did you send me away?

I... told you that I will go first.

Didn't you hate us then?

Nothing happened!

I said nothing happened!

What should we do? I feel like he doesn't understand what we need at all.

- Mr. Joong Hee. - Yes?

Have you never felt such emotions before?

Your strong, mountain-like father suddenly looks small and weak.

So you pity him, but it slowly turns to anger. Like that?

Should I try it again, with more pity?

No, we are not asking for that.

We heard from your manager that you are quite close with your father?

Do you not have many conversations with him, usually?

Just...

Don't you drink alcohol and have bonding time with your father, at this age?

Yes, sure.

What does the word father makes you feel?

The person who helped give birth to me?

Of course he did.

I think that's enough for today.

You worked hard. Well done.

- We will be contacting your manager— - Tell me exactly what the problem is and I'll fix it right away!

Mr. Joong Hee, have you ever tasted food that was prepared according to the recipe, but it still tasted bad?

You followed the recipe perfectly,

and yet... It still tastes bad and you don't want to eat it.

Your acting feels just like that.

Acting is not about perfectly following a recipe, right?

Yes, Director?

I don't think it's gonna work. Please inform Mr. Joong Hee.

Director? We really prepared very hard for this. Please think it over one more time.

What is the point of preparing hard when he can't act? How can he be so bad at acting?

He seems like someone who has never had a single conversation with his father.

If we continue this, it will only further tarnish Joong Hee's image as an actor.

I can't do a mini-series with Mr. Joong Hee. I'm sorry.

Dire-Director?

Stop the car.

I said stop the car!

He seems like someone who has never had a single conversation with his father.

I can't do a mini-series with Mr. Joong Hee.

You have zero chance of doing that, in my opinion as a psychiatrist,

because you are a mental patient.

a severe egotist with no ability to feel empathy or emotions.

Uncle, it's Joong Hee.

I was wondering, in the past,

you said that you would send me a photo that you found.

Do you still have that?

Photo? What photo?

My father's photo.

Among the 10,000 lacking things in you,

the most lacking thing is a good eye.

Hey, this and this. Do they look good together?

It's fine. A scrubber just needs to clean well, Mother.

In any case, the better looking things sell better!

If one devotes oneself to one thing, they can accomplish 100 things.

Since you are doing it anyway, do it properly. Properly.

A celebratory party for Mi Yeong getting a job. Tonight at 7.

Mi Yeong must have gotten a job, Mother. I got a text from Sister-in-law.

Honey!

That's great news! Great news!

Mi Yeong got a job?

Wow, Noona unloaded one huge burden.

We should always live our lives with hope. Right, Mom?

Yes. Of course.

They said that tonight they are having a congratulatory party... But there is an entrance fee.

₩10,000 a person? ($10) She should just treat on a day like today.

Everything about her is good, but that's her one flaw. She's too stingy.

Oh. But, what's on the menu?

Galbi (marinated ribs) or Japchae (Korean glass noodles with beef and vegetables).

Oh, Galbi... Japchae...

We can't pay for it. Let's just have kimchi stew at home.

- Hey. - I will just send a congratulatory text saying we won't make it.

Hey, hey, hey. Since it's a special day, why don't we just go? They won't make a fuss about it.

If she just invited us, that's one thing.

But knowing she wants us to pay and simply not paying? That is different like knit stitch and purl stitch.

One punk, two brats, three children, four raccoons, five squids...

Oh, squid.

Where did that come from? That's ₩40,000.

Where did you get it from?

Oh, just use it. I didn't steal it.

Right. It doesn't matter.

Let's just confidently go. Okay?

Min Ha came!

The galbi will get cold. Let's hurry.

Unni.

You were the center of attention all the time.

You wouldn't know my feelings until you die.

I am not as strong as how you are.

I am sorry to disappoint you.

Please let Mom and Dad know. I can't work at that place.

What are you doing? Not coming?

Oh? Okay.

Welcome Mother-in-law.

Oh, Daughter, congratulations.

Thanks, Mom.

Here. Congratulations.

Noona! Congratulations!

Thank you.

- Congratulations, Aunt. - Thank you.

- Why are you giving me only ₩5,000? - It's a youth discount.

Acknowledged.

We came.

You're here? Oh, my baby.

Good job. You did well.

Mi Yeong, we're proud of you, our third child. Congratulations.

Father is so happy today.

I'm proud of you, my little sister.

"Even snails can roll." (proverb: everyone has at least one talent)

Congratulations, Niece Mi Yeong.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

Congratulations!

Congrats. Congrats. Congrats!

I prepared a lot of food.

Please eat slowly and enjoy it.

I prepared your favorite cockle dish for you. Please help yourself.

Oh, you have to eat the big and good ones first.

Wait, wait.

You eat a lot, Min Ha. Sister-in-law, too.

When did you have time to cook all this, Hyungnim?

Mi Yeong, your favorite, fried oysters.

Today, don't think about your diet, and just eat a lot.

Wow, the stature of a person can change in just one day.

Thinking about it, Min Ha, I haven't seen you in a long time.

How is school these days? Is it bearable?

No, since I rank #1 in my class, studying is no problem.

but I am bothered with people who don't know English. (slang)

And my homeroom teacher is also managing the academic performance of the whole school, and that's tiresome. (slang)

In such a busy world, I just want to live in it comfortably. But it isn't going my way. (slang)

What is he saying right now?

No, since he ranks #1 in his class, studying is no problem.

but he is bothered with some people who don't know English.

And his homeroom teacher is also managing the academic performance of the whole school, and that's tiresome.

He is saying that in such a busy world, he just wants to live in it comfortably. But it isn't going his way.

Oh, goodness.

You understood all of that?

He does know very well when to speak up, when to be quiet. (slang)

Ah, you are the "MLC" (most lovable character) in this household.

Hey. What is that?

That means Min Ha is the most lovable character in this household.

Our Min Ha, the b-b-best!

What? What about B-something?

So, MLC = most lovable character.

It just means he is the best. The best of the best!

That's right. My son-in-law

is MLC!

No other son-in-law is better than him!

The son-in-law is MLC!

Thank you, Mother-in-law. You are MLC, too.

Thank you.

- You found it? - Yeah.

Here it is.

You've never asked about him before. Why are you curious about your father all of a sudden?

Because this person I have never met is an obstacle to my progress.

But who is it among these three people?

The far right. The name is embroidered there, right?

Byeon...

Hurry, hurry, do it. I'll give you a good score.

Come to think of it,

Alright. Yes, it was.

Woo!

Dad. You can't sing "Daddy's Youth."

No, no, you can't do that. You're too good at that.

Father is Strange ~ Preview ~

I wonder what he looks like?

Did he really show up in your dream and say he wanted to eat a hamburger?

Hello. Today is my first day. I am Byeon Mi Yeong.

- Oh, what are you doing here? - Hey!

You are breaking the record for bad ratings every episode, aren't you?

- Do you remember anything today? - You have gone properly insane, haven't you?

Do I have to give myself a headache trying to remember why I dumped you?

Who is it? Heart?

I won't renew your lease. I won't.

Why won't you renew our lease?

I have gone crazy. I have gone crazy!
