Hey, watch out!

- Over here.
- Pass it.

- Hey, move!
- Watch out!

Whoa...

You're out!

That's the rule. Out!

By the way, sir,

why do we always have to play dodgeball
but the guys play soccer?

What about it?
You wanna play another sport?

I'm not saying that.

But soccer takes up
so much of the school field.

The dodgeball court is this big
while they get all that space.

14 M X 7 M = 98 SQUARE METER
90 M X 45 M = 4050 SQUARE METER

They need
all that space to play soccer.

If we take it from them,
it wouldn't be soccer, it'd be futsal.

Yeah, but then,
why are they the only ones

who get to use all that space?

It's not like our tuition
to the school is any less.

So that means that we're losing out.

That isn't-- You shouldn't think about it
like that, all right? Hmm?

The boys all play soccer
because they like soccer.

And all the girls, including you,
you like dodgeball.

- Hmm? Hmm?
- Mm-hmm.

How are we supposed
to know what sport we like

without trying both?

I like not missing out
more than I like playing dodgeball,

so instead, I think I'll try soccer.

Well now, kid,
why do you gotta make things so difficult?

In life, sometimes, you end up losing out.
That's just how it is.

If you spend your whole life
trying to never lose out,

all your friends are gonna hate you.

And then you'll be alone.
You don't want that, right?

You don't want them to hate you.

You don't want to be alone, do you?

So stop holding up the game
and get off the field.

You're out!

Now, let's keep playing.

Hey, guys, where's the ball at?

- Who cares? So what if they hate me?
- Oh.

Oh.

Oh, what is it now?

Even if they do,
they'd be missing out, anyways.

Besides, I have nothing to lose
by being hated.

What's your name again?

- Why do you need it?
- Okay, look. I get it.

You hate losing out.
Just tell me what your name is. Your name!

While I hate losing out,

and always make sure
I don't get the short end of the stick.

- My mother is an angel without wings.

Come in.

Say hi. This young man
will be staying with us for a little bit.

She's the poster child of generosity.

Say hello.

This young lady is gonna stay with us
for a while, okay?

Say hi.

She's gonna be living with us
for a little while.

Wait.

Everyone told me
I should try and be kind

- like my mom when I grow up.

If we're being honest
with ourselves here,

I was being the generous one.

Have some more.

Because the love
and attention my mom gave them

should've been mine.

Dun-dah-dah!

Great job.

- Here?
- Right.

Not to mention all the time

and energy my mom would spend on them.

Even though I never
agreed to be nice or to share her at all,

it always felt like
she was being taken away,

and that I was constantly losing out.

Okay, look. I get it.
You hate losing out.

Just tell me what your name is. Tell me.

It's Hae-yeong.

Son Hae-yeong!

EPISODE 1

Hi.

- Aww, babe, thanks for coming!
Okay.

I'm taking the picture now.

Three, two, one.

CONGRATULATIONS
KKULBEE EDUCATION CEO BOK GYU-HYUN

Oh, Hae-yeong, you came.

- Ah, Deputy Manager, you're here.
- I'm here.

Because I want to spend
my precious weekend

sitting in traffic in Gangnam,

wearing this ridiculous thing
and eating a meal that's way overpriced.

With a bunch of colleagues
that you dislike.

Oh! You're the exception.

How much are you gonna give today?

Uh, 100,000, I think--

You went to college with Woo-jae,
and you worked together, right?

Uh, yeah.

Uh, so, 150,000, or...

I don't know.
Food's pretty pricey, I think.

At least 150,000 a head.

Well, if the food costs that much,

we should at least give 300,000...

Is this an invoice
or a wedding invitation?

That is the question.

You're not wrong.

If I tallied up
all the money I've paid out...

COLLEGE FRIEND
150,000 WON

COWORKER
100,000 WON

COLLEGE FRIEND: 200,000 WON
COWORKER: 100,000 - 150,000 WON

- ...I could buy a small car, I think.
- Mm-hm.

At least a midsize sedan.

Think about all the money
your parents ever gave.

You're right.

It should be a give-and-take
type of situation,

but I'm only doing the giving here.

But you still have a chance
to take what you can from this life.

While I'm a walking-talking charity,

I give and give all donations.

CONGRATULATORY MONEY

NAME OF GIVER AND AMOUNT

Wedding money
is the great exchange

this whole country takes part in.

Look over here.
Three, two, one!

You hope to get
as much as you've given

so you receive the same amount back.

At first glance, it seems pretty fair,

but there are some obvious pitfalls.

It doesn't take into account
the rate of inflation,

train or plane tickets,
and how much hotels cost

depending on where the ceremony is.

And of course, the number of guests
at the wedding

versus the number of envelopes.

Making an accurate prediction
is impossible.

The person who's taken my money,
what if we drift apart?

They might end up switching jobs,

immigrating to another country, or dying.

The money given at a wedding

is a bet you're forced to make
on that uncertainty.

And the one who gives first
always loses out.

Manager Son Hae-yeong, you came!

I didn't think you'd make it.

Showing up at your ex's wedding...

People don't really do that, do they?

Hmm, I had to congratulate you,
Manager Ahn Woo-jae.

Besides, everyone from college
and our colleagues came.

It'd be suspicious if I didn't show up,

you stupid idiot.

Congratulations.

Just six months ago,
I would never have guessed you'd be here.

What a happy occasion.

Getting married
only six months after I dumped you.

After only three months, I already knew

my Yi-lin is a luxury imported sedan.

While you were a clunker.

A clunker? Speak for yourself.

And those are my strengths.
Thank you for the opportunity.

My name is Kim Ji-uk.
I'm here today for a job

at the international sales team
at Liter Electronics.

Two traits that I believe
make me the best person

for this position are--

You're an orphan?

Your application
didn't mention any family.

Did they pass away
or were you born an orphan?

Is there anyone in this world
who's ever been born an orphan?

I was raised by my grandmother
in a loving home before she passed away.

And thanks to Liter Electronics'
charitable giving programs,

I had everything that I needed as a kid.

If given the privilege of working
for Liter Electronics,

I will use it as an opportunity
to not only grow professionally

and achieve my life goals,

but to pay back my debt from childhood,
one I feel I owe this great company.

Orphans tend to lash out
and struggle with feeling less-than.

Are you the same, Mr. Kim?

A cobra will use water to poison you,
but a cow will turn it into milk.

So any time I felt inferior,

I used it as the driving force to grow
and push myself to my limits.

I was on the honor roll for all four years
getting my bachelors--

We need employees
doing international sales

to know at least two languages.

Do you? Could you afford to study abroad?

Those who want to do something
find a way,

while others find excuses
for being less-than.

Though I stayed in the country,
I studied hard to become conversational

- in English and Chinese.
- Which colleges did your parents go to?

Do you even know?

Wow. It says here
you've never interned anywhere.

I guess gaining life experience
was a luxury you couldn't afford, right?

2023 3RD QUARTER
LITER ELECTRONICS INTERN RECRUITMENT

Now, Ms. Jung.

You're 24, the perfect age for marriage.
Do you have a boyfriend?

I haven't been dating.

To me, working on my personal goals
is more important than--

If you live by yourself,
guys must like that.

When do you plan to get married?

Will you continue working
even after you get pregnant?

International sales means
lots of business trips abroad.

Do you think you can do the job
while raising a child?

I'd, uh...

How about this?

Let's say your manager
accidentally touched you

while giving you encouragement.

What would you do then?

Huh...

First, I'd make sure such a situation
never occurs and then--

But what if it does
end up happening anyway?

Uh, oh... Then...

Well...

then in that case,
I'd bring it up with my manager,

and tell him that the lack
of boundaries was an issue--

Ah, is that so?

Mr. Bok, what would you do
if a female colleague told you

she was being sexually harassed
by her manager and asked you for advice?

I will first make sure

whether it wasn't just an accident
on her manager's part

that she mistook for harassment,

and that she hadn't done
anything in the past

to give him the wrong idea.

Also, I don't believe that anyone
working at Liter Electronics

would do anything
to another colleague like that.

That's called secondary victimization.

I would advise her to obtain sufficient,
objective evidence

such as texts, emails,
recorded conversations,

or footage from a security camera.

Just like I'm doing.

- What?
- When did you--

The question you asked Ms. Jung Su-a
just now is discrimination.

According to the National
Human Rights Commission of Korea,

it robs her
of an equal right to employment.

Wh-what? Her right?

Just what are you trying to imply?
That the question I just asked was sexist?

Sexual harassment?
Didn't you do any interview prep?

If you had, you'd know that candidates
often get asked tough interview questions

to see if they'll crumble under pressure.

And you just made Mr. Bok look bad
with your self-righteous answer.

What do you think? He answered
that way because he has no morals?

Ah...

I wasn't thinking.
If you give me another chance,

I'll think over the question again
and answer more carefully.

All right then. Let's hear it.

What if you joined this company,

and a female colleague told you
she was sexually harassed by her boss?

What advice would you give?

That she should go
to the Human Rights Commission?

♪ A hundred percent ♪

Oh, I, uh...

I wanted to apologize to the two of you
for what happened earlier.

- Apologize?
- What? To me?

Me jumping in was presumptuous.

You held yourself back
and I should've respected that.

Also, Mr. Bok, I didn't respond that way

because I'm more ethical
or braver than you.

It's just that I'm not as desperate
to get the job as you are.

My professor suggested I apply.

Ah.

That explains the clothes and the hair.

Uh...

It's probably gonna be on me
if you two don't end up getting the gig.

I'm sorry.

Wow.

You're unbelievable.

If you apologize,
it makes us two look even worse.

Oh.

I'm sorry for apologizing
for what happened.

Just how nice can you get?

Hey, listen.

Thanks to what you did,

I won't be scarred
by what those guys put us through.

Thanks.

They could give me a million won,
I'd still say no.

Hear that?

Then you guys will accept my apology?

♪ A hundred percent ♪

Hey, if you're not going to get a job,
what are you gonna do?

Uh, actually...

I've been working on something
that no one knows about.

And what is that?

Please welcome
the mothers of the bride and groom.

Ah, the smell of money.

I heard Yi-lin's parents were loaded.

He sniffed out someone rich.

You remember.
Ahn Woo-jae's got the nose that knows.

MOM

Excuse me a second.

Mom, it's me, Hae-yeong.

Have you eaten yet?

No. No.

Bring me something to eat.

You just ate, remember?

Don't worry, she ate everything.

Is she doing all right?

Yes, of course.

But still, it seems like...
well, lately, you've been busy.

You couldn't come last week either.

Uh, I had a wedding to go to today.

I'll be there next week for sure.

Please come.

Your mother, she's waiting for you
even if it seems like she isn't.

Ah, yeah, I understand.

Thanks.

And now,
mothers of the bride and groom,

please light both your candles.

Everyone, please, let's give them
another round of applause.

And here comes the bride.

Ah, look at what a beautiful couple
these two make, eh?

Yeah, you know...

they really do.

Manager Ahn.

Uh...

Yes, Manager Son?

6 MONTHS AGO

Uh, I emailed you
the company retreat info, right?

We don't have a date tonight, do we?

I need to talk to you.

- Is it urgent?
- Mm-hmm.

This has run its course.

- Huh?
- You and I are finished.

Uh, come on, that's not funny.

This is so sudden.
Why do you want to break up?

Does there really need to be a reason?

Did I do something wrong?

- Or was there a misunderstanding--
- Something has changed.

I don't feel the same way anymore.

I've fallen out of love with you.

And I think we should end things.

Hae-yeong! Son Hae-yeong!

Ah, damn it.

Hey, Son Hae-yeong!

How could you break up with me
here of all places?

It doesn't matter to you
since you don't drive.

But what about me, huh?

I'll think of you every time I park here.

It's gonna break my heart!

I'll find you another parking lot, okay?

Drive safe.

Now, we're going to move on
to the group pictures.

Starting with the bride and groom's
immediate families...

You're doing great, girl.
Hey, here's a fun idea.

We should both down a bottle of wine
before the night ends.

- I'm so jealous of Yi-lin.
- So jealous.

Today's their one-year anniversary,
you know?

I know. Wow.

One-year anniversary?

But we broke up six months ago.

HAE-YEONG AND WOO-JAE'S BREAKUP

WOO-JAE AND YI-LIN'S WEDDING
WOO-JAE AND YI-LIN'S FIRST DATE

He cheated on me.

Oh, yeah.

I was worrying
about how I was gonna ditch her,

but she did the work for me.

Can the bride and groom
please make a heart shape?

Can the mothers and fathers
please do the same?

Three, two, one.

Ah, good. Again, again, yes, great.

Three, two, one. Amazing.

All right, next up,
we'd like to get a picture

with the bride and groom's
friends and colleagues.

What?

Why is the table shaking?

Girl, are you gonna go up for the picture?

You bet I am.

- Whoa, what's happening?
- Ooh-la-la, what's happening?

Oh, my god.

Wow!

Whoa!

Hey, Son Hae-yeong.

What do you think you're doing?
Get out of the way.

I heard it's your one-year anniversary
with Yi-lin.

It's been six months
since you and I broke up.

One-year anniversary, huh?

Were you cheating on me?

What are you doing?

What's the point of bringing this up now?

What's the point?

Aw, smile. Today's a good day.

Okay, smile.

Three, two, one.

Great. Next, make a heart.

You all know what to do, right?

Now, three, two, one.

Ah! Yes, perfect!

Terrific picture.

Kiss! Cheer! Louder.

More, more, more!

Wait, boss, I've been hearing
there's an issue with the menu.

We'll have to cut back the budget.

The spices are too expensive.

That's impossible.

I worked so hard to meet the budget.

And I don't play games with food.

I do play other games, though.

Let's eat, Ja-yeon.

You can start without me!

Let's eat together.
Food tastes worse when you eat alone.

I know they're in a hurry, but...

her pants are coming off
near all those pesticides?

- It's organic.
- Organic produce has bugs on it.

Have you ever done it on a field?

It's impossible to focus,
it could be your partner's hand

or a bug that's touching you.

You've done it in a field, too?

Man, I'm starving.

Which one of you is into that, huh?

You? Or the producer?

Wow.

You hardly have time to pee
with all your deadlines...

so I wanted you to see
what normal people get to eat.

Hui-seong...

I'm bribing you.

When you do the audio drama,
don't forget your voice actor sister!

I won't.

When's Hae-yeong coming?

Apparently, her college friends
are at the wedding too,

so she might be out late.

Attending your ex-boyfriend's wedding

to make sure
your relationship stays a secret...

Going out with a colleague
seems like an awful idea.

Okay all your stories, um,
What's with President Kim?

A Work Proposal,
Spice Up Our Love...

Workplace romances.

I want people to read
my workplace romance web novels,

not have their own,
especially Hae-yeong.

Oh! She's here.

The Saint herself!
How was your ex-boyfriend's send-off?

That two-timing jerk.

- Huh?
- Huh?

Apparently, he'd been dating her
six months before we broke up.

- What?
- I helped him out by ending it...

on the day he proposed to her.

Argh! I knew
that son of a bitch was suspicious!

No way he'd marry her
after just three months!

So what did you do?
Did you just let it go?

Quick, before the tea gets cold.

Is that what I think it is?

Are you insane?

You've lost your mind,
haven't you?

- How could you go to your ex's wedding...
- And catch the bouquet?

All right, next up,

a picture with the bride
and groom's friends and colleagues.

That should be
quite a few of you out there.

Friends and colleagues,
I promise no one will drink your wine!

Please start making your way
up to the stage for the picture.

Well, I ain't going up.
What about you?

I should, right?

All right, please line up neatly
in an orderly fashion

around the bride and groom.

That's great,
let's just make a big semi-circle.

Ladies by the bride,
gentlemen by the groom.

Uh, ladies need to stand
on the bride's side, please.

- No, but I, I...
- This way.

This way.

Okay, smile.

Three, two, one.

Ugh.

I shouldn't have given them my money.

Ugh, my money.

Oh, my money!

The money is what you're concerned about?

You can get that money back
by marrying any random guy off the street.

Would he even come to my wedding?

And let's say that he did.
He wouldn't come alone.

Three hundred thousand for two guests.

That means I'm losing out.

Wait a minute.
Why did you dump Woo-jae?

Huh?

I don't think you ever told me
why you two ended it.

Do you know?

Oh what does it matter?
She thought she was losing out again.

She's always been like that.
Remember the others?

Hey!

6 YEARS AGO

Ugh!

God!

How come
you're practically living at my place,

yet you never bring anything over, huh?

Has it ever occurred to you
to replace the stuff you've used?

You've doubled my bills
since we started dating.

This isn't a relationship,
it's an adoption.

Don't you remember Assistant Manager Gu.
The deadbeat.

Assistant Manager Gu was so cheap.
He always ate all her food without asking.

He even took my stuff too!

He'd borrow my shower,
sleep in my bed, eat my food.

If he's got any conscience,
he should treat me for a year at least.

Who was it that came after Gu again?

Battery...

Park was the next guy!

Was that...

was that really it?

3 YEARS AGO

I gave you so many chances...

and that's all you could do?

Did you really try your best?

Think about your answer.

If this is what happens
every single time, then...

at this rate...

You're hopeless.

Hey, okay, look...

if he gets to blow his load three times,

then I should get to feel good
three times too, it's only fair.

- Ugh.
- All right.

I'm not even asking for three.

But how about once?

- Come on, it's gotta happen once!
- He never made you...

Not even a little.

I mean, come on.

What, am I running
a day spa or something?

After he finished,
all he'd do was take a shower and go!

His batteries are...

Still, Park was a nice guy, I thought.

Is the bedroom stuff
really that important?

- Of course!
- Duh!

WANTED CRIMINALS

Hmm.
Come on, make sure it's straight.

Those guys already look crooked.

If it's not right,
they'll be hard to identify.

Ah! Our saint has arrived!

Here you go.
It was a really big help.

- Thanks for letting me borrow it.
- Yeah. So tell me. How'd it go?

Uh, well...

You know, if you can,
you should buy a suit of your own.

These days, I hear it's hard to get a job
even if you're smartly dressed.

There's a new poster
for missing persons and wanted criminals?

If you give me some,
I can hand them out on my way home.

Ah, of course.

You may not be able to get a job, but...

Oh, what does it matter?
You're a real-life saint!

Not at all. If this neighborhood is safe,
it's good for me, too.

But you don't live here though.

Huh?

Yeah, right. I'm gonna go.

All right.

Have a good one.

Is that him?
Is that the guy?

The one who called five times
about that one perp,

made two citizen's arrests, and stopped
countless creeps and phone scams?

That's Citizen Police
number 28, Kim Ji-uk?

Isn't he great?
A really good guy.

But he'd make a poor son-in-law,
don't you think?

'Cause he gives too much
and asks nothing in return?

His clothes...
They're the worst!

LOOKING FOR MISSING PERSON
WANTED CRIMINALS

Ah, so all we do
is put these posters on our carts...

and all the scrap paper
from the convenience store

will be ours to take.

Exactly.

The five of us
walk around this neighborhood

practically all day.

Now more people can see the faces
of all the missing kids and criminals.

And we get all the scrap paper.
It's a win-win!

We're killing two birds with one stone!

Exactly.

- Everyone...
- Huh?

First thing's first,
if you ever spot a criminal,

just stay calm and call the police.

- Mm.
- And when you call,

make sure you do it without being noticed!

Your safety's the most important thing.

Sound good?

- Sure.
- We'll be safe.

- I tell you, this kid...
- Uh-huh.

- Hui-seong's leaving, Ja-yeon.
- Get home safe, okay?

What are you doing next weekend?
Going to see mom?

- Mm.
- Should we go together?

It's been a while.
Don't think I've seen her in like a year.

Ah, but, uh,
the house is so old, you know?

- It's practically falling apart.
- Who cares? It's just us.

Does Mom feel uncomfortable
about us visiting her?

Oh, don't be ridiculous!

I just think she's a little embarrassed.

Let's go together
after the house is fixed up.

Oh, come on,
cheer up, little sis!

Want me to get you some jellies, huh?

Jellies? You're still eating that stuff?

It's harder to stop eating those
than to quit smoking.

Hey, is the same guy
working at the convenience store?

The rabid dog?

To me, he's like an angelic puppy.

How come he only acts
like a rabid dog with you?

No idea.
He barks at me no matter what I say.

There must be a reason.

There isn't one.

Since the first time we met,
he's been like this.

So why go to that one store?

You know, if he hates me just because...
maybe I should give him a reason.

'Cause if he hates me, he's losing out.

Hello.

Uh, are those not in stock anymore?

They've been discontinued.

I never said which item I was looking for.

Pang Pang Mustard Jellies
were just discontinued.

Oh... could you check the back?

Five Giant Worms,
seven Molangs, three Heybo Mixes,

six Goldens,
and ten Podong Podongs is all we got.

Wow. A walking computer.

Amazing.

Give me a pack of cigarettes.

Oh... Sunhill.

Uh, it's, uh...

SMOKING SHORTENS YOUR LIFESPAN!
6 MG

One milligram, Three milligrams,
Slim, Super Slim, Forest Slim...

There are milder kinds,

yet you gave me the six,
the strongest one.

Wouldn't it be a loss
to pay the same price for less tar?

What's a few extra minutes of life?

Are you trying to get to 90 or something?

- Hey!
- What?

- You--
- You were disrespectful to me first.

EMAIL SENT SUCCESSFULLY

Great work, Bo-ra!
Terrific chapter.

You must be exhausted.
Don't check the comments.

Get some well-earned rest.

It's so obvious
that she's never worked in an office!

What exec eats lunch
in the company cafeteria?

It's so unrealistic!

She always writes
about falling in love with a rich guy.

Way too many sex scenes.
I guess she isn't getting any.

How much bedroom experience do you need

to come up with sex scenes like this?
You must be a real perv!

Another female lead
who's crazy for men?

She should quit writing.

The male lead's name
is Ha-jun this time too? So lazy.

I don't even want to write in a diary
if I'm not getting paid.

These haters are impressive.

Bo-ra!
I thought this chapter was just terrific.

My heart just couldn't stop racing!

I'm looking forward
even more to the next one.

I love you!

You're a genius!
Time to go read this one again!

SPICE UP OUR LOVE EPISODE 90

YEON BO-RA HAS PINNED
HAJUNLOVE'S COMMENT

What are you reading, Jeong-a?

Is it something fun?

It's just a fantasy novel.

Mmm, fantasy, huh?

What's it about?

A man who's in love
with a very special woman.

- Does he have powers or something?
- No.

Then... is he an alien?

Mm, no, he's just wealthy.

How is that a fantasy?

You're surrounded by wealthy people.

It's who he's in love with.

Just one woman until the day he dies.

Jeong-a, you should try and focus
on what's in front of you for a change.

Why don't you focus on your family?

That was a long time ago.

Besides, Gyu-hyun's here.

Thank you for breakfast.

You're president of an education company,
but don't know proper etiquette?

How dare you leave the table
before we've finished eating?

Have a seat.
We need to talk.

Sorry, but I can't,
I have an early meeting to get to.

Out of all the people
that could be going to this meeting,

do any of them outrank me?

We're eating breakfast.

See what he wants.

He's done a poor job
as head of this household,

but at least he's trying
to lead his company.

Okay.

How many times have I said

not to throw away
the newspaper in the study?

Perhaps I should hire a new maid.

Why do you need the paper?
If you have something to say, just say it!

Here it is.

GONGJIN THINK GREAT: UP 91.4%
KKULBEE EDUCATION: DOWN 52.7%

Aren't you embarrassed?

What's the point of an early meeting?

To get ranked second?

What about brand reputation?

Didn't you see that we're the top company
workers want to move to?

Mm-mmm.

Of all the insults
your grandfather used to say,

the worst was,
"At least they're a nice kid."

Meaning they're completely useless.

Good company culture?

A brand that treats its employees well?

What're you gonna say to the board?
The shareholders?

"At least we're nice,
although we don't make much." Huh?

- Come on.
- You're an only child

so you might not be afraid
to lose your position.

But when a person goes to pick up
something they left at a pawn shop,

they bring a claim ticket.

What are you gonna bring?

Just gonna show up and say,
"Hey, here's my birth certificate"?

- We'll get there in the next three years.
- Get married.

What?

You'll never rank first in sales.

You know
you could be more supportive

of your son instead of tearing him down.

To get to first,
you have to know success.

You've had everything handed to you,
so how do you plan to get there?

I'll look for a girl that's sufficient
for the president

of a second-place company.

So get married
if you want to claim what's yours.

I don't want to.

- You don't want to get married?
- No.

So instead,
you'll get the company to first?

- Yes.
- Within a year?

Yeah.

Huh?

One year.

If the company fails to rank first
by end of the year,

you're getting married.

This is a deal you've made with your CEO.

There.

And there.

It's all been recorded.

Hm.

That's not fair, sir, please, come on!

But Dad! Father!

KKULBEE EDUCATION

REASON FOR DEPARTMENT
TRANSFER REQUEST

I JOINED KKULBEE EDUCATION
AS AN IT SERVICE DEVELOPER...

For the above reason,

I request a transfer
to the Service Development Team.

"Request"?

Humbly request.

Uh! President!

It's a lovely morning...

I hope.

Ah...

Given the mood he's in,
today is not the day.

I'd better send it next time.

EMAIL SENT SUCCESSFULLY

Secretary Yeo!

Ugh...

RESIGNATION LETTER

Secretary Yeo.

- Uh, I would like to code, sir.
- It's come to this.

If you send me back to development,
Mr. President,

I'll do whatever you want, I promise--

- Marriage?
- Hey!

- What?
- Huh?

- "Hey"?
- ♪ B, C, D... ♪

♪ E, you want to die? ♪

I'm sorry.

But I'm not sure
what you're talking about.

The CEO gave me a choice.

Get our company to rank first in sales
within the year, or get married.

What do you think?
Do you think I can do it?

Do you want the truth?

It's absolutely impossible.

Right?

- How can we increase sales within a year--
- For you to get married.

Secretary Yeo, so you're saying
me marrying is impossible?

Um, well, you're not in a relationship
or seeing anyone casually.

You ever been on a date?

Still, it's not absolutely impossible!

My inheritance.
I'm third generation.

- And I'm an exec!
- Ah, for the money?

Anyway, give it to me straight, Yeo.

Do you think we can rank
first in sales within a year?

Yes, it's possible.

How do we do it?

Why should we be the ones
worrying about that, sir?

But who's gonna worry about it?

Wha... The mustard-flavored
Pang Pang Jellies are back?

They were...

Huh?

MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY
2,000 WON

Where are they?

Where are they? I don't see any inside.

You should've let me finish talking.

I was gonna say they're sold out.

- Then what's this?
- Oh, this?

Last one.

Uh, it's just I... I quit smoking

and Pang Pang Jellies
help me with my cravings.

What?

My shift is over.

God, you're such a jerk.

I can hear you.

You're such a jerk!

YU-KYUNG: WHY WON'T YOU
ANSWER MY CALLS? I MISS YOU

DESIGN TEAM

Looks like Manager Ahn
is back from his honeymoon.

Isn't it the trend these days
for people to stay single?

What's with this company?

It's 'cause our company
gives special treatment

to people who get married,
pregnant and have kids.

Employees that are married
and have kids get all the benefits too!

Really?

I guess you didn't know
since you're single.

First of all, when you get married,

the company gives you three million won,
provides two weeks for your honeymoon,

flowers for your wedding,
and buses for your guests too.

Also, once the ink is dry,
they pay your spouse's medical bills,

send you anniversary flowers,
and give you three days vacation

every five years you're married.

Once you're pregnant,
they give you a million won per kid

for up to three kids,
providing insurance for the baby,

a cake every year for their birthday.
And you get the day off too!

And what's more--

Single people
are really missing out, then!

We do the same amount of work,
but the benefits go to married people!

You're wrong.

Single people also work more days.

Married employees take more vacations
than single ones.

You see Lee over there?

He got married last year,
and got remarried this year.

Yeah, when that happened,
I was so shocked.

Until he sent out more wedding invites,
I didn't know he'd got a divorce!

Once you're legally married,

you could be in the throes
of marital bliss

or fighting like cats and dogs.

The company has no idea.

Anyway, Assistant Manager Lee
got married twice in one year,

took a whole month off,
and got a raise of six million won.

Meanwhile, what kind of raise
did you get busting your ass?

You want a better salary, girl?

Don't try so hard and get yourself a guy.

Hmm.

HAPPILY MARRIED GROOM AHN WOO-JAE
AND BRIDE KWON YI-LIN

Did you have a good time
on your honeymoon?

Yeah, thanks to you.

Could we talk in the conference room?

Hmm?

AWAITING YOUR AUTHORIZATION

YOU DOG SHIT

So childish.

And you weren't childish when you decided
to date two women at once?

Yeah, real mature.

Well, you didn't tell me
you fell out of love with me.

And at the end of the day...

didn't me cheating on you
work out in your favor?

- What was that?
- Think about it.

If you were the only girl I was dating
and you dumped me,

I would've been super clingy.
I spared you all that baggage.

So it's not your loss either.

What the hell,
are you God's gift in bullshit?

This is a waste of time.
Just shut up and give me my money.

What money?

The money I gave you at your wedding.

Which I only attended
so that people at work

wouldn't find out that we dated!

I wouldn't have even bothered
had I known you were two-timing trash.

Pay up. My 300,000.

Wait you mean--
Are you doing all this just for the won?

Just for the won?

Okay. You think 300,000 is chump change?

If so, give me back
my chump change and I'll go.

I'll go and I'll leave you alone.

Aren't you curious at all
about whether I loved you?

You're not gonna get mad,
tell me to get on my knees and apologize?

Well, how would an asshole
who can't even say "I love you" sincerely

be able to offer a real apology?

I don't need you to get on your knees
or even apologize.

Just give me back my money.
All 300K.

Wow. How can you say that?

Is money all you care about?

I mean, did you even love me at all?

What did you say?

MOM

Take it.

Uh, yeah,
this isn't really a good time to talk.

If it's not super urgent,
is it all right if I call you back?

Yeah.

How's your mom holding up?

Ugh, shut the fuck up, you piece of shit.

Who told you you could ask about her?

Okay, so...
in light of the fact that you cheated,

I was nowhere near breaking
even in this relationship,

and I really lost more than I put into it.

But in the spirit of a clean break-up,

I'm only asking for the money I gifted.

Three hundred thousand won.

Don't worry, I'll give it back...

when you finally get married.

Although I don't know if someone as cold
and calculating as you ever will.

"Calculating"?

6 MONTHS AGO

Manager Son.

Manager Ahn.

Manager Son Hae-yeong.

Manager Ahn Woo-jae.

Manager Son!

Okay, keep it down.

Manager Son Hae-yeong.

Jeez.

- That happy, are you?
- Mm-hmm.

Come here.

Mmm...

Jeez, if you're like this
after making manager,

what'll you be like
when you make department head?

Yeah, by then...

we won't just be dating in secret.

We'll be an openly married couple, right?

Married?

By the way, Hae-yeong.

Hmm?

You're the only one, yeah?

Yeah, I know I'm the only one for you.

No, I mean your mom.

You're the only person on the hook...

for taking care of your mom?

Ahn Woo-jae,

you're the calculating one, not me.

I dumped you
because I didn't want a husband

who felt like they were losing out
by marrying me.

So how dare you stab me
in the back like this?

I'll make you regret ever messing with me.

Give me the money right now.

No way. Are you kidding?

Really?

All right then.

Kwon Yi-lin! Over here.

You're... not serious, are you?

Sorry about that.
Manager Son, have you been waiting long?

Not at all.

Did you have a good time
on your honeymoon?

Yeah, it was so good.

I see.

EDUCATION TEAM 2 MANAGER AHN WOO-JAE

Hello? Hello?

Ah, shit.

What the heck?

Oh god!

Ah, shit.

Ah, shit.

No.

Shit.

Shit.

- Yi-lin.
- Honey.

How could this happen?

This whole situation, it's...

No, Yi-lin...

Listen to me a sec.

It's not what you think.

I'm so touched.

Look at this.

What is this?

It's a candle holder.

Isn't it beautiful?

Manager Son made it
out of the dried bouquet from our wedding.

I made with the hope
that your future will be bright.

And that you'll live happily ever after.

I knew you both started here
at the same time,

but I didn't know you were close.

I had no idea since hubby never told me.

Manager Son, I wanna be friends too!

Oh, I'd love to, Yi-lin.

My won.

Ah, Hae-yeong,
I'd love to pay you back,

I really truly would...

but my allowance isn't enough.

Two hundred thousand a month.

And I'm only allowed to use a debit card.

All my bank accounts
are managed by Yi-lin.

Yeah, so what?

You must have some emergency cash.

I gave Yi-lin everything
when she took control of our finances.

Yi-lin's sensitive, so if she finds out
I gave you money, she'll freak out.

To you, I might be a lying,
cheating scumbag.

I'm trying to be a trustworthy husband
because that's what Yi-lin deserves.

I love Yi-lin so, so much.

I don't want to disappoint her.

I swear I'll give you back that money
when you get married, all right?

Okay, can you cut me
a little slack until then?

Huh? Please.

Is it really starting that soon?

You're applying, right?

- Maybe I should.
- It's worth a try.

They'll work right under the president.

BRIGHT FUTURE IDEA CONTEST

A company grows its people

and its people in turn grow the company.

And those we grow
will spend time figuring out

how to get our company
to rank first in sales.

You know,
they only have these things to, um...

try and leech ideas from their employees

since they don't have
any ideas of their own.

Who's they?

You have so much on your plate!

Ranking first in sales!

The life of a busy exec. Wow.

It refers to, um,
a lot of different things.

Tell me, Yeo,
do you think it'll be enough?

My employees won't be as desperate
to make this happen as me.

Listen, sir,
all that's riding for you here

is a seven-figure island wedding
to a daughter from another wealthy family.

But to our employees,
it's a matter of performance, salary,

experience, maybe even their entire lives!

Who do you think is more desperate here?

You know the Native American rain dance?

I'll keep at it
until we make it rain. Hyah!

Tell me, Yeo, this stuff,
where did you learn it?

- In grad school.
- Ah.

Uh.

So, you'll let me get back
to the development team, right?

Hmm?

- You said you'd let me transfer.
- All right, Yeo.

What's my schedule
for the rest of the day?

President Bok, uh, please,
I'm really not cut out to be a secretary.

You are.
You're the perfect secretary.

I'm really not!

I don't even know what you've got going on

- for the rest of the afternoon!
- I've got it.

I'm seeing my trainer.
If I'm late, it's an extra set.

Boss, come on.
President Bok, please!

Ugh! Bok you, man!

"Bok you"?

- "Bok you"? Come here you!
- Oh! Wait!

- I didn't mean it like that! Stop!
- When I get my hands on you,

you're gonna wish you were never born!

Hey, girl, you see this?

BRIGHT FUTURE IDEA CONTEST

A company contest?

The President's making
a personal task force

to execute the winning idea.

A personal task force?

Then the winner of the contest is gonna...

Become a team leader and be put
on the fast track for promotion.

Dating a coworker?
Marrying a colleague?

I don't need any of that.

I'll win this idea contest
and make my way to the top!

Are you interested, too?

Absolutely!

Oh, girl, I don't think you'll get it.

- Come on, boss!
- Listen.

Your performance
has always been top-notch.

You take part
in a ton of company projects,

and your physicals say
you're the picture of health.

It's just that...

they don't hire women for teams
directly under the president.

Wait, they don't?

- But what about the legal team?
- You mean Attorney Kang?

She's been married for years, honey.

Out of all the teams under the president,
there are no single women on any of them.

Come to think of it,
most of the secretaries here are all men.

Ah. You think it's a coincidence?

That many coincidences?
It's definitely on purpose.

CEO Bok... He had a lot of issues
in his private life.

Some say it's an order from his wife,

because of everything
that he put her through.

While others say President Bok-you
is trying to distance himself

to minimize any risk
as the company's future owner.

Okay.

So you're saying
because CEO Bok can't keep his pants on

and 'cause Bok-you's insecure about it,

I won't be able to get a promotion?

Because I'm not married?

Isn't this discrimination though?

Of course it is.

But, remember,
what's the secret to working smart?

Keeping your head down and surviving.

I know.

If only you were married,

you would've gotten on that fast track
to a promotion for sure.

I'm done.

I won't do any work,
and I won't get promoted.

I'll be Kkulbee's
first-ever quiet quitter.

Oh, Department Head, good afternoon!

- Afternoon, everyone.
- Hi, Department Head!

Mmm.

Mmm!

I needed that.

All right.

Hi, welcome.

Please insert your card.

Don't worry, I'll give it back,
when you finally get married.

If only you were married,

you would've gotten on that fast track
to a promotion for sure.

Everyone's wedding-obsessed.

I'd have done it yesterday
if I didn't need a husband.

Oh.

Miss?

You need something?

Yeah.

I need a groom.

What'd you say?

I mean, uh, your hair looks fine.

Not that.

The person you need to have at a wedding.

The one next to the bride.

Uh... a groom.

- How about you?
- What?

As my groom.

That's what I'm asking you.
Will you be my groom?

EPILOGUE

Yeah, by then,

we won't just be dating in secret,

we'll be an openly married couple, right?

Married?

- By the way, Hae-yeong.
- Mm?

You're the only one, yeah?

No, I mean your mom.

You're the only person on the hook...

for taking care of your mom.

THANKS TO KIM KI-DOO, KIM GU-TAEK,

AND PARK SE-WAN
FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCE

- I know too much about you...
Hey!

...to be romantically interested in you.

Knowledge is all in the head,

but romantic interest is all in the heart.

You really think that marriage

is some kind of business proposal?

Ja-yeon, you don't have a problem
with her using Mom like that?

How tall are you?

- And weight?
I don't even want to look at you.

Were the two of you
in a relationship while working here?

"We did date once,

and this is how she's trying
to screw me over now."

Who do you think the company will believe?

What kind of psycho
would look for a husband

on a marketplace app?

Then I'll do it.
