(Episode 1)

There are only a few days left of this now.

Chi Woo.

Finally,

you're moving out!

I set the alarm for you.

Wake up 10 minutes before your mom and set the table.

You don't have any clients today,

so all you have to do is sit still at the office.

Where will you be while I sit there myself?

I have my excavator operator exam today.

The deal is at three, so don't be late.

Sure.

I'll get going.

You take on jobs where you open doors, where you close doors,

and those that have graveyard shifts.

Why bother?

You seriously don't know that?

Do you think...

I don't want to sleep in or skip work?

I want to soundly sleep for 100 years...

like Sleeping Beauty too.

Don't you know that?

At least for today,

be extra careful with everything! Beware of even falling leaves.

Avoid any stones that come rolling at you too.

The deal is at three.

- What... - Three o'clock.

- Good morning. - What?

You really shouldn't have. Oh, dear.

Just remember to stay healthy for me.

Good luck today.

- Finally? - Finally!

After eight years,

you're finally moving out of your in-laws' house!

You still should've rented an apartment though.

Won't a studio apartment be too small?

In what way can I find an apartment that only...

costs me 550 dollars for a monthly rent and 30 million for deposit?

This place I rented is close to a subway station.

If I strain my neck,

I can even see the Han River.

What about convenience stores?

I won't ever run out of part-time jobs.

I actually already found one.

Already?

Quit all those and just work here,

or ask that lawyer brother-in-law of yours...

for a raise.

He'll never be able to find a better paralegal.

The apartment is vacant, so I can move in when I want.

After I sign the deal today,

I can redecorate the house however I want.

Why would you bother for such a small apartment?

Even tiny ones have character and flavor.

I want it to be simple yet stylish.

Call it a tiny French-style apartment if you will.

You took on jobs as a wallpapering assistant,

a film applying assistant, and even a janitor.

Was it all for that tiny French-style apartment?

My heart is racing so fast that I'm worried it might fall off.

If it were a mansion,

you would've died of a heart attack.

That's why I'll never live in a mansion.

What?

Instead, I'll one day build my own house.

One that I can call mine.

Learning how to operate an excavator...

won't help in any way.

I'll have to dig first in order to build one.

It's all about laying the foundation.

As if that were your initial plan.

You only studied for the certificate...

because you heard the jobs pay good money.

It's actually quite fun. With every dig,

I picture my jerk of a brother-in-law,

my mother-in-law,

and my good-for-nothing husband.

I see you practiced a lot.

I was worried that I'd run out of time.

- Good day. - Thanks.

This is almost like a textbook.

Like this.

I'll pass easily if I just do this.

Like this...

- Excuse me. - My goodness.

What's the matter?

This is one of the national exams, so you shouldn't film a video.

I haven't heard any of it.

It's illegal.

- Is that right? - Yes.

Goodness, it's you.

You're this person, right?

Gosh.

How are you so good at driving that S reverse course?

- What? - I'm so sorry,

but can't you give me a tip?

The institution fees are so expensive,

so I'm studying alone for the exam, and it's my third time.

You know, the test fees are expensive.

I'd like to pass the exam today for certain.

- Delete the video first. - Oh, okay.

Let me watch it again one last time.

- Excuse me. - I swear.

I'll delete it for sure.

But please give me just one tip.

- Applicant number 13, Im Chi Woo. - Here.

- Please. - Is she absent?

I'm coming.

Turn the wheel right and go in reverse.

When the left rear tire touches the first stop line,

release the wheel.

Make the tires parallel and go about 50cm back.

And turn the wheel to the left...

to make sure the right tire stay in the line.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Why did I tell her everything?

Choi Jin Yoo, speaking.

Yes.

I'll go in right now.

See you in the meeting room.

Gosh, my back.

Don't your back ache, Grandma?

Mom and I can do it ourselves.

I'm good at making dumplings too.

Check them out.

Of course, they aren't as good as yours.

Don't you feel reassured to see Jin Yoo work even on weekends?

He's going to the shopping mall construction site...

with the investor or the landlord.

What gift do you want Dad to buy you from his business trip to Europe?

A bag? A handbag?

They're the same thing.

Is that right? A bag is a handbag?

- You didn't know that? - Yes, I did.

I said it to make Grandma laugh, but it didn't work.

Why aren't you smiling today, Grandma?

Gi Ppeum.

Why aren't you saying anything?

We aren't supposed to laugh and chat away today.

Why?

It's time to go to your taekwondo lesson.

Oh, right.

Go wash your hands. I'll give you a ride.

I'm sure she'll be resting in peace.

She might be upset, if you still feel so sad.

I'd be upset if I were her.

What kind of daughter would want her mom to struggle?

Shut your mouth.

Okay.

When the braised galbi is done,

call me so that I can taste it for seasoning.

I'll go in your room with a piece when it's done. Take a rest.

Didn't I tell you to be quiet?

I felt suffocated to death, so what could I have done?

Grandma must not be satisfied with us.

She wouldn't be struggling this much if I had a sister.

It's not like Grandma lost her on purpose.

- Yi Yoo. - We can't turn back time either.

There's nothing we can do, but she struggles...

without being able to eat or sleep on this day every year.

That's enough.

Maybe we should start looking for her again.

When will you age?

It's already been 38 years,

but why are you still 24 years old...

when your mom is more than 80 years old now?

I'm too ashamed to see your face,

so I can't even die.

Why did I...

have to lose you?

What?

How cute.

Goodness, don't come down.

Stay where you are.

- What's all this? - It's brunch for you, my darling.

I was waiting for you to wake up.

Really?

I made this coffee just now.

It's perfectly in your favorite temperature.

I'm about to tear up.

Goodness.

I'm already full even without eating.

Is that right?

Then...

should we do something else?

What do you say?

I wondered what this was about,

it was a silly dream.

No, I'm finally moving out two days from now,

so it sure isn't just a silly dream.

Hi, Mom.

What? Again?

Be honest with me. What did you spend the money for?

Why are you scolding me so much because of mere 1,000 dollars?

Mere 1,000 dollars?

Mere 1,000 dollars?

It hurts.

1,000 dollars mean 100 of 10-dollar bills and 1,000 of 1-dollar bills.

What did you do with my precious money?

Where is it?

- I ate it. - You ate it?

All right then. Spit it out.

- Spit it out. - Stop it already.

- I'll pay you back. - You will?

That's right, you spoiled brat. You've got to pay me back.

Pay back all the money today.

Give me back my money, you brat.

You don't know what that money means to me.

How could you spend it all up?

What are you talking about?

You hid it in the closet and never used it.

What?

You're saying you were coveting that money all the while?

Whenever you had money, you stuck it in the closet.

I saw you do it since I was in middle school.

Come to think, you went after that money on purpose.

I raised a thief after all.

- Gosh. - Let's see the end of it today.

- Die. - Mom.

Gosh, Chi Woo.

- Come over here. - Goodness.

My gosh.

- Come here. - Stop it.

Goodness.

- This is enough. - It's not.

Come over here.

Come eat, Mom.

You should eat too.

I feel too frustrated to eat.

Why did you set the table when I told you to go home?

You've got to have strength to beat her up.

Why didn't you grill meat for it then?

Shut your trap.

- I'm home. - Gosh.

You're here, Joo Chul.

- I'm home. - My brother.

Hi, Chi Woo.

Gosh.

- Was it your first day at work? - It was a training day.

We learned about the organization chart and stuff about the company.

- I bet you memorized them first. - Don't say that.

Oh, right.

I bought this with the money you gave me.

My gosh. It's as good as one of those designer bags.

How can it look like luxurious when it isn't of a designer brand?

Have I not beaten you enough?

You must be hungry. Go and wash up.

Sure.

When do you get your paycheck?

- Paycheck? - Yes.

Whose money are you trying to sniff out now?

How dare you ask about his paycheck?

Can't I even ask?

If you dare go by his office, I'll rip all of your hair out.

I wouldn't even if you asked me to.

It's not like he's an executive of the company.

He's just a mere security guard.

What?

It's not like I'm wrong.

Being rejected for job after job...

and then becoming a security guard over 30 is nothing to brag about.

You've made your bed today.

We'll both go to our graves.

How dare you!

- Say goodbye to life. - Fine, just kill me.

Just take my life!

- Mom, calm down. - Stop it, you two.

Joo Ah, go to your room.

Get out. Stop living off us and leave!

Don't you worry. I'll leave, all right?

- Joo Ah. - Stay for the meal!

I always wonder why I even gave birth to her.

I'm the fool for even squeezing all of my breast milk for her.

"How angelic is she when she sleeps?"

"Even her morning breath smells like flowers."

"Could her eyes be any deeper?"

I even said they were deep enough to get lost in.

I'm the crazy one.

I must have lost my mind.

I'm nothing but an idiot!

Just like it's depicted here,

we'll buy the land next to Hansoo Outlet,

and join the two buildings together.

The HS Mall will be a new cultural plaza...

that is family friendly.

Luxury designer brands...

as well as young casual brands will be placed inside.

That's all.

Good job.

You're bringing up a plan that I've heard numerous times before.

Are you urging me to hurry up and buy the land?

The land owner is quite stubborn.

I'm afraid it'll be best if you meet and talk to him.

He didn't budge at our offer which means...

he wants more money.

What is the limit that we can give him?

We've already offered him the limit.

So you're sending me off to battle with no ammunition.

We need to close this deal before the president gets back.

I'm sorry about this.

You must've tried poking at his side,

so we need...

to tackle this head on.

This way, sir.

This is the women's department for the fall and winter season.

This is the men's department.

This.

Mr. Kim, you sure have good taste.

The new line has been getting a good response.

No wonder it stood out.

As you know, Hansoo Group is in charge of...

over 10 different clothing brands.

So I hear.

With a new shopping complex,

the brand power of Hansoo will increase.

We also predict a profit increase of 150 percent.

What does that have to do with me?

A lot, actually.

Next to that newly erected shopping mall,

we will build a park under your name.

A park under my name?

We are building a park for the local residents.

We are planning to name it after you...

to thank you for allowing us to build the mall.

I know you're busy with business in Seoul,

but you'll be very proud every time you head home.

Your descendants of generations will remember your name.

There's one more thing.

I wanted to suggest establishing a scholarship foundation...

with some of the money you'll receive for your land.

A scholarship foundation?

We'll donate a percentage of the mall's profits...

to the foundation every year.

Along side us, sponsor the people of your hometown,

and be remembered as a man who devoted himself to his community.

It's been a while since I visited my hometown.

Join me sometime on a trip there.

It doesn't cost money to go there,

so why not?

- Mr. Kim, let's go. - Yes, sir.

Pack the shirt he was eyeing.

Without anyone listening

Into the rain

Look at that.

This seems like a decent spot.

Hold on.

Why don't I earn a little money and put a smile on Chi Woo's face?

She cut the price of the deposit...

even lowered the rent by 50 dollars.

You'll never find a more decent landlord.

Consider yourself lucky.

I know.

Thank you for renting out such a nice place at a low price.

I don't know how to thank you enough.

Thank you so much.

I only did so since it's just you and your husband.

Young couples these days choose not to have kids.

Is that the case with you two?

No, of course not.

Babies power the nation these days.

Living with your in-laws must've been too stressful.

Not exactly.

Anyway, there's a leak in the kitchen sink.

Will you be fixing that?

Of course. It's all in the contract.

Thank you.

Anyway, you'll feel like newlyweds again.

Right.

My husband will be here soon.

Sure.

Dad's Burger is here!

Head home if you want one by your mom...

because this is Dad's Burger.

Thank you for waiting.

Hold on a second.

Here's your burger.

- Here. - Thank you.

Thank you. Please enjoy.

Is it already this late?

Pack up, everyone.

Darn it.

(Abba Burger Food Truck)

This is our current outlet...

and right next to it is your land.

The park will be built here.

How big will it be?

It'll be around 7,000 square meters.

I'm worried that you'll change your word...

once you buy the land from me.

I hear you like maple trees.

We'll cover the park...

with all sorts of different maple trees.

Don't you forget silver maple.

Will you give us the land?

I'll need more time to think about the scholarship foundation,

but there's no need for me to turn down the park.

Thank you.

Gosh, look at what happened to my pretty face.

Still,

I earned this much.

Chi Woo will be on cloud nine.

- What was that? - Sir.

Are you all right?

No, I'm not all right.

Where are you?

Why aren't you here?

Please have another.

Your husband's running a little late.

Yes, he must be on his way,

but I guess there's traffic.

I'm sure he's close by.

He's half an hour late though.

I'm sorry.

Isn't he answering his phone?

- He's not. - Then...

sign the contract yourself.

Well...

This is the first house we'll be signing...

since our marriage eight years ago.

My husband wanted to have it in his name.

Do you have his identification card?

Fill in the form and just sign it instead.

I don't have my husband's identification card.

Then fill in the contract first...

- and then... - Hold on.

I should receive the deposit first before signing any contract.

Well,

my husband agreed to wire the money.

He isn't here on time nor can send me the money.

Does he even want the house?

Yes, of course. He likes the house even more.

Whatever. I'm done here.

What a waste of time.

I'm really sorry, but give him a little more time.

He'll be here soon.

Forget it.

I doubt you'll even pay your rent on time.

Find me another renter.

But please, ma'am.

Ma'am...

Where on earth is he?

Park Wan Seung...

Park Wan Seung!

Do you know how much this car is worth?

Darn it.

Sir, please. I looked away for a second and...

- Forget about it. Mr. Kim. - Yes?

Draw up an estimate for the repairs...

- and the cost for a rental. - Yes, sir.

Darn it.

Sir, I'm truly sorry for the accident,

but I can't afford the repairs on this car.

Please save me this once.

What are you doing here?

- Honey. - What's going on?

I got in an accident.

How?

How?

- Well... - The bumper, the trunk,

the tail light, and a full paint job...

will cost 79,000 dollars.

79,000 dollars?

Hiring a rental of the same caliber...

will cost you 15,700 dollars,

which brings the total to 94,700 dollars.

What?

94,700 dollars?

Are you kidding me? It's just a bumper!

94,700...

- 94,700 dollars? - Lady.

Stop stuttering...

and call your insurance company.

Insurance?

It's just that we don't have a good enough...

Could you...

cut down the cost for repairs?

What nonsense is that?

Do you not see the state my car is in?

Sir, I didn't even crash into it that hard.

Stop it.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

You must be truly upset to see your dear car all wrecked.

Could you please show us mercy though?

If you do, I will never forget it.

I will live my life in your debt.

Please, sir.

I don't care how you live your life.

I won't back down,

so call your insurance company.

Sir, please. What you're asking is outrageous...

Please, I beg you.

I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry.

Please appease your anger and forgive us just this once.

This is the day...

we're signing our first house as a married couple.

We were on our way to sign the contract.

The deposit is 30,000 dollars,

so we can't pay 90,000 dollars for your car.

I'm so sick and tired of this.

If you won't settle, I'll get the police involved.

I'll claim for compensation for emotional injury too.

Wait, we of course want to settle.

We will,

but we can only give you a limited amount of money.

All we have...

is 30,000 dollars.

If you accept that first,

I'll make sure to pay...

If you don't have money, stay off the road!

You caused the accident,

so sell your organs if you have to!

What did you just say?

Sell our organs?

Fine, take them!

Just call the police.

Darn it.

Sir.

Could you just accept the actual expense?

What?

The estimate seems a bit too harsh.

Why don't you have one of...

the auto shops my company work with take a look?

- Mr. Choi. - If you allow that,

even though it's not as fancy,

we will lend you our company car...

while it gets repaired.

What?

Please not ask for the paint and wax job.

- Why should I? - Please.

I will make sure the car is perfectly fixed.

My car was wrecked and I wasted my time.

What more should I lose?

There's no need for you to be like this.

Let's just do it by the books.

The accident happened on the way to our mall,

so how can I just sit still?

The couple seems pretty desperate.

Stop being a pushover...

- and step aside. - Sir.

Are you kidding me with this sort of treatment?

Aren't you here to kiss me up...

so that you can lease my land?

You should be taking my side,

but instead you're telling me to suffer a loss!

The two are very different things.

I've had enough!

Forget about the tour.

I'm not leasing out my land to you.

No, please don't. I'll pay back the money.

I'll do whatever I can.

I asked you to be understanding,

not suffer a loss.

I said no, so why keep talking about this?

I've never spent a single penny...

on someone without a good cause.

That's the same for this couple.

Why make them spend more than what's needed?

- Are you kidding me? - Sir.

With all due respect,

from what I saw before,

your car was already covered in scratches.

The back door was slightly out of place...

probably due to another accident.

Look, Mr. Choi.

A new door, a paint job,

a wax job and others...

including dusting off the license plate...

will make your car look like a 2018 model.

However,

I'm worried that rumors will spread...

about how you scammed money off those less fortunate.

What will happen to the scholarship foundation...

and the park under your name?

While your car is getting repaired,

we will lend you our company car.

Your car will be fixed to as it were before the accident.

Yes,

of course.

Hold on a second. Are you blackmailing me?

I would not dare such a thing.

I'm politely and earnestly asking you.

Please, sir.
