We'll call up to the podium

the person in charge of this merger.

Hello, I'm Suh Woo-kyung.

Our construction firm Myong-bo has merged with

Friendly Environment Architecture for a better future.

From now on, the two combined companies will

grow more successfully as one.

Thank you.

How old is she?

She's younger than I expected.

She's the president's niece.

I get turned off at people like her.

Why couldn't I have an uncle like her?

Don't you agree?

Kissing up to her already?

It's so frustrating!

You feel that way too?

Did you see her shoes?

Do you know how much they are?

She was wearing brand names head to toe.

So that's what gets you.

Until now, I was the hippest one in the office.

Now I'll be too ashamed to wear these.

Enough already.

Start cleaning the desks.

She's going to make rounds.

What was this flower called?

Pardon?

This flower.

What was it now...

It has a label.

I see.

What are you looking at?

Me?

Nothing.

I hear Moo-yeul lives right upstairs from you.

Yes.

Does he get along with that lady?

Lady?

Ah, you mean Eun-jae.

Of course. They're newlyweds.

Newlyweds?

Do you see them showing affection?

Showing affection?

You know - holding hands, hugging, and kissing...

Kissing?

I don't know...

Besides, they wouldn't kiss in public.

So you haven't seen them, right?

No.

Good.

What is?

You don't need to know.

I'm the team captain, Lee Kang-gyu.

How do you do?

I'll be counting on your guidance.

Let me introduce everyone.

This is Kong Ji-hee.

And Kim Eun-jae.

Hwang Do-young and Jang Suh-jin.

Nice to meet you all.

Miss Kim Eun-jae, I'll be counting on your help.

You know her?

I wouldn't go that far, but...

You're lucky you're so well connected.

Can I see you for a minute?

What's going on?

You'll only talk to department heads now?

I think it's been three months

Since the announcement of the Ilsan department project.

Three months ago...

Myong-bo Construction is...

I mean our company's design team was weak.

Why our company of all others?!

There are plenty of other design firms.

Our company's a pretty decent company.

I'll be counting on you.

What?

Put in a good word for me with Ms. Suh.

Excuse me.

One more, please.

Goodbye.

See you tomorrow.

Excuse me.

I know this is rude...

How old are you?

Twenty.

I'm older than you.

That's my resum� age.

I'm twenty-four.

Age isn't important.

Where do you live?

Gaesan-do.

Oh, there.

You know where it is?

No.

Moo-yeul!

You have a gym going here.

Let go.

How was business?

Yeah, Miss Kim!

I'm going on a hunger strike if I have to,

until he buys me those shoes.

And I'll lose some weight in the process.

What?

I'm so relieved that you were there too.

Imagine being compared with just her.

What if Bong-gyu sees us?

Just until we get to the store.

We have to be careful.

What's the big deal?

I'll get kicked out!

Bong-gyu's parents are of the older generation.

They'd kick us out in a minute if

they knew we weren't married.

Do you want me back in that one room hut?

Okay, I'll be careful.

You're making me hungry.

But you have to have three dates a week with me.

Date?

What a nostalgic word that is...

You think I have time for dates?

You have to eat.

Don't you see this?

So, there's nothing in this for me!

Let's think about it when I have more spare time.

- Really? - Yes.

Miss Kim, You're late today.

Did you eat?

Eat someplace where people can't see you.

Would they want to come in if all of you are eating?

Business was good today.

We'll wrap it up.

Miss Kim. Here, your dinner.

Who bought this?

I did.

You have a long way to go.

How much is this kimbab?

You can buy this for one dollar down the street,

So why spend extra at a convenience store?

We racked up a lot of sales on the cash register today,

So we can afford this much.

She'll give me indigestion.

You like this, don't you?

Missus, we have three flower basket orders.

You are a "Missus".

Yes, I'm married, so I am a missus.

But why do you have to address me that way here?

This is my work and I'm the president here.

Do you address your boss that way?

What boss and employees at this tiny...

Of course there are.

Protocol has to be followed.

Moo-yeul!

Look at the time!

Time to go home.

Good work.

Be careful driving.

It's so dark.

Fire her!

Don't be so sensitive to a kid's remark.

Kid?

And if she goes, Bong-gyu's not going to stay.

Make sure she watches her mouth with Bong-gyu.

Don't you worry.

Miss Kim...did something happen today?

How could he, in front of her...?

It's only natural for a husband

to take his wife's side.

Husband, my foot.

I'll be on your side.

I don't need you.

Where do you want me to drop you off?

I'll take you home.

This is my car.

What's important is that we're riding together.

How will you get home?

It's close.

I thought you lived in the same house as Moo-yeul.

You've got a sharp mind.

I'll see you tomorrow. Goodnight.

"The sea hath its pearls,

The heaven hath its stars;

But my heart, my heart,

My heart hath its love."

As said by Longfellow.

The bus has stopped running.

What?

Ah, this is too thick.

Aren't you going to eat?

It's the same old side dishes.

What am I going to do? It's too tight.

Wife, are you fooling around?

Wife?

I told you, Suh Woo-kyung's working at our place.

So what's that got to do with this fashion show?

You're so slow.

You're trying to beat her at fashion?

Give me a break.

Not with your figure.

Maybe you can beat her with strength or weight.

And I have an evaluation interview with her too.

Whatever...

Do the dishes.

Amazing, she skipped breakfast.

What jerk parked his car here...?

We always eat here.

We have vouchers here.

It's no good.

I like the food here. It's like my mom's.

Why didn't you bring lunch?

I got up late.

I hate getting the smell on my clothes.

She eats here too?

Scarves must be in.

What's wrong?

Mine's fake.

Hello.

Join us.

You eat at places like this too.

What's wrong with places like this?

Was it Ji-hee?

Yes.

Is that a wedding ring?

It's nice.

I had it custom designed by a jewelry designer.

It was pricey, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime deal.

And if I get cheap things, I end up not wearing them.

Eun-jae knows what I mean.

I think it's a good sign;

The ladies are all getting married.

First it was Eun-jae, then Ji-hee, and next week...

Eun-jae, you're married?

They got married within a month,

putting quite a dent in my wallet.

I see, you're married.

So, Suh Woo-kyung took over the company

and Eun-jae's flower shop is doing okay.

Yes.

Good.

What determines the game is a big punch.

Should I give you a straight punch?

Jung-jae.

Yes?

Where do you work out?

My shoulders...

Moo-yeul, can you massage my shoulders?

Where?

Here?

Lower.

Here?

Moo-yeul.

Miss Kim.

Do you want me to massage your back?

I'm okay.

Let me do it.

You must be stiff.

Miss Kim, I know how hard it is for you.

You work all day at work,

And then come here afterwards...

I know very well how grueling this is for you.

Let's be patient a little longer.

Jin-hee, I'll massage your shoulders.

No.

I'm going home.

Wait up.

I'm leaving.

Bye.

Maybe we'll end up on stage.

Hand me the scissors.

I know I'm not in a position to say this,

but don't be like that with Moo-yeul.

What?

Asking him to massage your back,

and holding hands and stuff in front of Eun-jae.

It's understandable since you're like a sister to him,

but from Eun-jae's point of view...

Be quiet if you don't know what's going on.

Let me off here.

Are you mad?

No, there won't be any buses if I go any farther.

Hello.

Hello.

Mr. Jo?

Miss Kim, how do you know him?

Mr. Park, I should ask you the same thing.

He's the loan shark holding my house.

What are you doing here?

I came to buy flowers.

Flowers, my foot.

There's a long way to go until the due date and...

Quiet.

What kind of flowers would you like?

Well...

They're for a lady.

I don't know what would be good.

Then roses would be good.

Roses it is then.

What color would you like?

We have red, white, and pink.

What would be good...?

I think pink would be good.

Pink it is then.

How many?

All you have.

- All of these? - Yes.

Hold on one minute.

This is very suspicious.

There are tons of flower shops in the city.

What's your real reason for coming here?

What's this flower?

Yellow flower.

It's freesia.

How rude...

Freesia.

It's done.

It's 42 dollars, but just pay 40.

That'll do perfectly.

Here.

Thank you.

The lady receiving this will be so happy.

Do you think so?

Of course.

Then will you receive this happiness?

Blood...

Do you have time Sunday?

I want to invite you to dinner.

You don't have to...

How filthy! Saliva is filled with germs.

Are you going to dinner with him?

Well...

I'm thinking I should.

Can't pass up a free meal, can you?

He's a loan shark.

He's up to something.

On the contrary, I think it's my charm.

What?

Tomorrow's the big day.

Come.

Try it on.

What was that movie with Richard Gere?

He's been in a lot.

The one with the actress with the big lips.

The girl's dirt poor and he buys her clothes and all.

Pretty Woman.

Yeah.

I feel like that woman with the big lips.

You do everything for me, Woo-kyung.

Did I hurt your pride?

No.

I'm just saying.

I had lunch with Eun-jae today.

People at the office think she's married.

She even had a housewarming.

So I looked into it

and she's living together with Park Moo-yeul.

I see.

Excuse me.

Wearing a skirt and all, huh.

What do you think?

Do I look okay?

Give me a break.

The more you hide, the better looking you are.

And that lipstick, your lips are protruding out.

Just because you're meeting a guy...

This is the same lipstick I wear all the time.

Why, you don't like my meeting him?

Are you jealous?

Jealous?

I'm just worried there won't be anyone to work at the shop.

Go.

You look good.

Wasn't Moo-yeul working this shoot?

No, he took a day off.

Why today of all days?

I wanted to show off to him today.

We're working on a holiday too.

Whatever.

Honey.

Yes.

Hands.

Okay.

Has anyone seen this person?

People will think you were apart for ages.

You met last week.

Mom, it's open up here.

Honey, it's open up here.

Right.

You're well aren't you?

I'm okay.

I gained weight.

You did gain some.

This place must suit you.

What's wrong with your face?

Trying to make money because of you.

It'll be hard.

Honey, stop looking at him and concentrate on me.

Okay.

Honey, how's the food?

I'm fine.

Do you think about me every day?

Yes.

Miss Kim?

Where are you?

Are you really going?

Are we there yet?

Go back to sleep, Mom.

Are you really going?

What does it matter who I have dinner with?

Get to the shop.

Hang up.

She's arrived.

Get started then.

Yes, sir.

There are no other customers...

I didn't want to be disturbed.

This way.

Please...

Thank you.

Shall we make a toast to our first date?

To tell the truth, I have something to ask you.

Is it true you're holding Park Moo-yeul's house as collateral?

Yes.

Your approaching me wasn't a coincidence, was it?

Why?

Why did you approach me?

If you're a loan shark,

your goal should be to get your money back.

Yet you went as far as researching his background...

But if you didn't want Mr. Park to pay you back...

If he can't pay you back, the house goes to you.

Suh Woo-kyung.

This has something to do with her, doesn't it?

I'm going home.

I won't deny Suh Woo-kyung having something to do with it,

but my reason for approaching you

was purely about a man-and-woman relationship.

Let me go.

I can't let you go now.

I don't want you getting hurt.

What if I insist?

I'd have to resort to brute force.

Welc...

I think they're thugs.

Quiet.

Get a move on.

Oh, what a surprise to see you here.

Why did they leave?

What should we do?

Shall we ransack the place?

But she's been so nice, giving us drinks and stuff.

You little...

Let's wait a little while.

For how long?

Look, look.

Let's go.

Your mother left?

Yes.

Ah, who put it here?

They're back...

Why do you keep coming back?

We have a mission.

Break everything!

What are you doing?!

Put it back down.

Just break one planter, and I'll...

What the heck!

Hoodlums...

Miss Kim.

What?

Are you a gangster's wife?

You chickened out so bad.

Don't do that.

You could really get hurt.

They're the ones who would've gotten it.

If they'd broken even one planter,

they would've gotten it good.

Scumbags.

Jerks!

They took off so fast

I...

Don't say anything.

Let's go.

- Ready? - Yes.

You like me that much?

She's stuck.

Miss Kim, we're here.

You startled me.

We're home already?

I must've dozed off.

Why is my back wet?

Did you drool?

Gross!

Gross!

Is the takeover going smoothly?

Yes.

It must be completed before the shopping mall project commences.

Yes, sir.

You don't want to know about the engagement?

You'll take care of everything.

Thank you for persuading my mother.

I'm still against it.

You said you won't be coming here for a while.

I needed approval on something.

Is the research going well?

I'm under a time constraint.

Aren't you curious what company we took over?

Not really.

Let's have dinner together.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you,

My beloved Kim Mi-yon, happy birthday to you.

I love you, Kim Mi-yon...

From Park Joo-jung.

It's a beautiful day.

Right...

My husband's coming to pick me up.

Want a lift?

Never mind.

Honey...

Honey!

New car?

My father-in-law bought it for us.

The seat heats up.

It's wonderful when you're tired.

Expensive cars are...

I have to get a new car.

There's Director Suh.

I'm going.

Let's hurry and go.

Have you been well?

Yes.

What's wrong with your face?

Eun-jae, where are you headed?

We'll drop you off.

No, I'm waiting for my ride.

I see.

Hey, get on.

"Get On?"

That's so 20th century.

Enough.

I had no idea they were there.

Thank you.

What are you thinking?

Nothing much.

Sweets pick you up when you're feeling down.

Ice cream...

Is it good?

Give us an extra spoon, please.

Miss Kim.

Can I use this?

What?

Where did you get this?

In the bag in the closet...

Leave my belongings alone.

No one's going to use it anyway.

It'll be used later!

Does she shave?

I need lotion.

Try some.

How is it?

Too bland.

That's not good.

Try it now.

Better?

Much.

Go ahead and eat.

Don't we have water kimchi?

Of course we do. It's ripened perfectly.

Dad, did you give Mom money?

No.

You told her you're taking her on a trip.

Mt. Jiri

Maybe a month...

You'll be king.

Having lunch?

You should rest on holidays.

We're off.

One bowl extra...

Can't pass up food, you should be ashamed.

- Bye. - See you.

One day's sales come to 300 dollars.

Supposing half of that is profit.

The monthly income would be 4500 dollars.

Don't we get a day off?

We can't afford one.

They teamed up with a loan shark.

You have to pay it back next month.

How much was it?

50 grand?

Yes.

Even with your pay...

Enough.

Not when I'm eating.

I don't want to get indigestion.

How can you trust me enough to lend me money?

I'll get a promissory note.

That only applies to people who can afford to pay it back.

So you mean to rip me off?

That's not what I mean.

In a small, just a teensy-weensy way,

I lack the ability to pay it back.

Write.

That you'll give up your organs.

Your devotion to your mother is true, right?

Oh, Miss Kim!

Hey, answer the phone.

Hello? Yes, Miss Kim's Flowers.

Yes. Yes.

Next Saturday?

Hotel?

Yes, we can.

I understand.

What was that?

ORDER CALLED IN AT 1:05 PM SUNDAY AFTERNOON

DESCRIPTION OF ORDER

HOTEL BANQUET ROOM FLOWER SETUP

TOTAL BUDGET: $3,000

This way.

One head table and 12 other tables.

Yes.

So a total of 13 tables.

There should be three arrangements on the head table.

One in the center and one on each side.

That would be 15 arrangements.

Any other instructions?

No.

If you could show us photos of other engagement parties,

it would help.

I'll have them ready.

Thank you.

Look at this.

A heart made with flowers.

This is a heart?

Yes, isn't it amazing?

Can you do this?

Don't ask if I can. I have to do it.

Know why?

Because it's for 3 big ones.

$3,000!

I took care of it.

Thank you.

I know I was out of line.

Don't mention it.

I think it's their first job. Will it be okay?

I know that.

Hold it like this.

Is it so hard?

Done?

Look.

You're going to drink?

To celebrate.

Okay.

To our $3,000!

That's too crude.

To our success tomorrow! Okay?

Okay!

To our success tomorrow!

Ah, you ruin everything!

Right, when it comes to you!

Miss Kim...Miss Kim.

$3,000...

To our $3,000.
