Original subtitles

I need romance.

I need romance.

You should come with me.

Where to?

A hotel.

Maison de Fleurs.

Are you asking me

to go to a hotel with you?

Wow, listen to this woman.

Now she's jumping to conclusions.

What's wrong?

You don't want to?

Are you...

hitting on me right now?

If I was,

would you come with me?

Are you

interested in me, by any chance?

What if I am?

EPISODE 3

Do I look

pretty to you right now?

You are

attractive

-in your own way. -Hey,

do you like

wild women, by any chance?

You know, women who hit you.

You said you didn't like to be hit, Honey.

Of course not.

It's better to hit someone than to be hit.

That's good then. Let's go.

To the hotel, Maison de Fleurs.

This is nonsense.

Let's just say that you have a weird taste in women,

but why should I go to a hotel with you?

I was dumped by my boyfriend a few days ago.

I also just found out that he cheated on me.

So I'm sick of dating. Furthermore,

even if I want to date someone,

this is not a good way to start.

Shouldn't you ask me out on a date first?

We can go out on a date later.

Let's go to the hotel first today.

I have to go there right now no matter what you say.

I can't drive my car because of you,

and I live in the hotel.

You...

You live in a hotel?

Yes, and I need a ride.

Let's go already!

Okay.

Should I say sorry to him for misunderstanding?

Or is it better to say I'm embarrassed that I was mistaken?

Should I just stay quiet?

I should stay quiet so he can't know what's on my mind.

It'll make me look cooler that way.

Why does this guy

make me feel so uncomfortable, by the way?

Why do you live in a hotel?

I thought you lived in my neighborhood.

I'm going to move to that neighborhood.

When?

It's none of your business.

Do you know

that the way you make a conversation is odd?

Is it because you lived abroad?

The way you call me, "Honey."

You shouldn't call any woman "Honey" in Korea.

When you say honey, it doesn't simply mean "you."

What I'm saying is you know how people say babe, right?

They're for married couples or lovers.

"Honey" is for that.

It's fine.

Honey.

Drive safely.

He keeps provoking me.

I feel uncomfortable!

Joo-yeon must have gotten the wrong idea.

Did you buy this for her?

What a small world!

I can't believe you and Joo-yeon dated.

What do you think of the job offer?

Are you really going to change the ship?

The headhunter said it's the best deal in that field.

Was it Joo-yeon who made you want to quit?

Why did you break up with her?

I wasn't sure if she really loved me.

So I kind of wanted to check and told her to break up.

But she didn't ask you to take her back?

Honey.

Honey.

I don't need love anymore!

This feels nice.

What?

What's all this?

Where's my computer?

This is crazy!

Where did you move my desk to?

Why the hell did you put it in the garage?

I'm not going to live with him!

What's wrong with you, Mom?

Take him to your son's place!

FROM MA'AM NO TITLE

Thank you, ma'am.

SHINGSHING

I bet she's going to yell at me.

Hey! Are you really going to do this?

What did I do?

Hello?

Hello? Hey! Sweet Potato!

Are you listening to me?

Why haven't you deleted my number?

You're the one who keeps calling me!

Considering you haven't deleted my number yet,

it was probably a lie that you didn't want to see me.

You got the photo from my mom, right?

I can move to your place now, can't I?

When should I move in?

Don't you dare move in! I'll show you what hell is like.

I'll show you what heaven is like as soon as you live with me.

Where did you learn to play on words?

I learned words from you and developed the playing part myself.

You've become so vicious!

Shingshing!

If we live together,

we'll be happy.

"I'm hanging up."

I'm hanging up!

That was easy.

I can handle this.

JI-NA CHOI, AWARDED AS THE BEST STYLIST

She had usually worked for magazines

and got famous after appearing on a cable TV show recently.

Her customers don't quite match with ours.

They are too old.

Next!

He's fresh and new, but

his style is only for specific niche.

It might be hard to match his pay.

But let's keep him for now.

Next.

Considering her works, I think she's overrated.

I told you to exclude her, didn't I?

I'm sorry.

She's pretty well-known

and worked as a style director for the H brand last season.

I like her.

What do you think?

I heard she's leaving for Paris next week for a year.

Hee-jae Jung! Do your job properly!

I'm sorry. I'll check again.

SE-RYEONG O STYLE DIRECTOR OF STYLE'O

She is the most qualified candidate, I think,

but there are a lot of rumors about her,

especially about her relationships with men.

I don't think she's the right person to work with.

In what perspective?

Well... I'm just...

Are you worried that she will steal your man from you?

Or are you worried she will take credit for your work?

No, it's not that.

We all know about those rumors

that she has slept around with men for her career.

The rumors of how she got the deal after sleeping with her client, and such.

Am I the only one?

You all know.

Let her misunderstand me.

But you are not dating him.

Even if I explain, what difference will it make?

To her, I'm the friend who broke her heart by stealing her first love, anyway.

Although I'm not dating him, I'll still be the same bitch to her.

What about other rumors?

Are they true? There are rumors about you and Michel Jang, too.

Using scandals is one of my strategies.

What do you think made me famous?

I think my scandals played a big part.

Joo-yeon was my first friend.

But I stole her boyfriend. Why?

Because I really wanted him.

I knew it then.

My desire was way more important than friendship.

What do you think, Ms. Shin?

She hates Se-ryeong O, too.

Why would I?

She'll use that room, and you have to see her every day.

Is it okay with you?

Is it really okay?

I think there are a lot more pros than cons.

She was a model, and she's a stylist with a pretty face.

She's also the only stylist whose name is mentioned with top stars.

She's as good as those who studied abroad, too.

She's perfect for the concept of our multi-brand store.

I'm not sure if I should say you're great

or you're scary.

Then, shouldn't she be the prime candidate to consider?

MIN-SEOK AHN

Nine in the evening, Room 2016 at The Design Hotel.

Reservation complete.

You're here for coffee?

Take this.

Thank you.

Are you going to be okay

working with Se-ryeong O?

I know you are not over her yet.

Isn't that why you are not dating anyone?

Thank you for the coffee.

Wow. There are two nuclear bombs in our team.

Are you going to be okay

working with Se-ryeong O?

What's the point, running around all day? You can't do your job properly!

Didn't I tell you to check the list again in the morning?

You've been working here for a year. Shouldn't you double check it by yourself?

Why are you crying?

What are you crying for?

I've had a lot of work lately.

I've been coming to work on weekends,

and even last night, I worked all night alone.

What does that have to do with you crying?

Does it solve anything?

Do you think you're still in school?

Do you think I'm your sister?

Don't cry at work.

This is not a place where you let your emotions out,

and I'm not the person who'd tolerate your childish behaviors.

I'm sorry.

GANGSAN SOJU

Joo-yeon Shin! You bitch!

You're such a monster!

You are terrible

and heartless, you evil woman!

I hate you, you bitch!

Can't I even cry with my own eyes?

Wow.

You must feel so refreshed.

Hey, Hee-jae is on the rooftop doing what you did nine years ago.

Is she cursing at me?

Yes, just like how you cursed at me.

What is she saying? "A son of a bitch," that's what I said nine years ago.

It's way stronger than that.

Why do you always pick on Hee-jae?

-Because I see her potential. -Because I see her potential.

I'm still an assistant manager because I don't have potentials,

so can I go home now?

I didn't get to rest last weekend,

and this weekend will be the same.

You can come to work in the afternoon tomorrow.

So sleep in.

It's Friday.

-And what? -Every Friday,

-Hey! -she meets someone.

Are you dating someone, Min-jung?

Did you even give me time for dating?

What's the point of getting a high salary?

I always have to work at night and on weekends.

I just don't have enough time even if I want to date someone.

Time to go on a date, time to miss him.

Time to fight, to long for him,

to play hard to get, to talk on the phone,

and time to snuggle with him!

Employee welfare is not that hard.

Give us time to date, please!

Min-jung Lee,

that's how you talk to your boss!

So is she dating someone or what?

She is.

Wait.

SWEET POTATO

Talk to me.

-Where are you? -In Namsan Tunnel One.

What do you want? You want to meet in the middle of the tunnel?

No. I said I don't want to meet you anymore.

Hello?

What was that? What's his strategy this time?

Namsan Tunnel One.

It'll take at least 20 minutes.

Kitchen.

Living room.

Oh gosh.

She's messy and lazy.

Does she not water this?

She was really pretty back then.

She was!

Oh gosh, this is disgusting.

Did you know that you'd change this way?

I'm back, Shingshing.

Now,

we are going to live together.

SWEET POTATO

Why do you keep calling me? What do you want?

You're strange.

Then why do you answer my calls?

This is why I keep calling you so I can hear your voice, at least.

Just tell me what you want. Why did you hang up on me earlier?

I was curious if it was fun to hang up on someone

so I tried it, too.

So, was it fun?

Wasn't there a playground in this neighborhood?

Are you in my neighborhood?

Why did you go there?

Does this whole neighborhood belong to you?

Even dogs walk around, so why can't I?

Okay,

walk around as much as you want.

Hold on!

Where is the playground?

What do you see around you?

Yeongjin Grocery in the nine o'clock direction,

Sangroksu Real Estate in the one o'clock direction.

Walk along the street.

Turn right at the alley before you pass Sangroksu.

Go straight about ten meters, and when you see a clothing bin,

turn right again.

Now you see the stonewall street, right?

Walk along the stonewall street and turn left this time.

Walk straight and you'll see a guy selling baked sweet potato.

Pass that and you'll see the playground on the right soon.

Wow! It's really here.

Did you move?

Yes, yesterday.

I got the down payment for the next book and for other stuff.

Did you move to a bigger house?

Why? Will you come over then?

No.

I love spending a night here!

Since when did you start to be

"no strings attached" Woo-young?

I'm not sure.

Dating wasn't so cool after all.

I got obsessive and possessive.

The more I liked a guy, the more I felt painful.

You're only 27 years old. How many guys have you dated?

Just...

a few.

"A few"?

Why is it so hard to get a hold of you?

Are you not at home?

What?

Why did you go there?

Do you even have time for that?

I'm sorry for making you wait. Let's go.

I'm sorry. Let's go.

I told you to do this after you pass the exam.

I know it's for a good cause.

But it's not a good time to do this.

When are you going to pass the exam, marry me and buy a house?

Do you pity these people living in this neighborhood?

I think

we are the most pitiful people.

That tiny room you live in is

the only place we can spend time together, and...

That's enough.

I said I was sorry.

You are all talk!

You're hanging around when you should study!

I was exhausted so I came out for exercise...

Do you think only you're exhausted?

We all are!

Just open your eyes and see how people live!

Studying makes you exhausted?

Is money all you care about?

So you're not going to marry me if I don't pass?

You need to have a job and money in order to marry someone!

Hee-jae!

Do you think I'll always be like this?

MOM

Yes, Mom.

I'll be home soon.

I said I'll be home soon!

What?

Okay, see you soon.

My mom is going out for delivery.

Really?

WHITE DRY CLEANERS

Are you done yet?

Yes, just a minute.

Have dinner first.

You don't get to have homemade food every day.

I already ate.

They gave us dinner.

What? I wanted you to have some homemade food.

Oh, there's something I want to show you.

Look.

This is the money we saved from not going out.

And this is my saving account.

Wow. We have a lot of money!

This is the money I saved every time I wanted to go shopping.

And,

this is the money we saved

from not going to a motel when we wanted to.

Wow, we've really held it in so much.

I know, right?

I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier.

I yelled first.

Come here.

I wonder if he got there okay.

Allen!

You moved to a new place?

-Not yet. -Okay.

What brings you here then?

How long have you been here for?

I just got here.

Did you see a guy, by any chance?

He's kind of

ugly and

looks like a boiled sweet potato.

He didn't sound like he was pulling my leg.

Who's that guy?

He's just someone I know.

Aren't you hungry?

Do you want to get some baked sweet potatoes?

Wait here. I'll go and buy some.

Wait in the car. It's cold out here.

SHINGSHING

Have you left? I don't see you at the playground.

Why did you go there? I thought you didn't want to see me.

As if! Who said I wanted to see him?

I stopped by just for a second as I was passing it.

He came all the way here.

Why did he have to leave so soon?

Why are you still here? I told you to wait in the car.

Did you get your car back?

I will, tomorrow.

I see.

Give me your hand.

Why?

We're not close enough to hold hands.

The scars went away.

Hold this. It'll keep your hand warm.

Are you that cold?

No, it's tolerable.

Can't you stop saying that?

What do you mean it's tolerable? Say you're cold when you're cold.

There. It'll keep you warm.

What's this?

Just keep wearing them. It'll keep you warm.

It is warm.

Someone used to

do this for me a long time ago.

Who?

The only thing she remembers about me is that I was ugly?

Here. Have some.

It looks delicious.

ADD VEST TO SPICE UP THE OUTFIT

I understand what you're trying to do here,

but I think it's far from our concept we've been working on.

When is the official release date?

The second week of January.

Pizza!

Let's eat first. We didn't even have lunch yet.

Someone from J O Home Shopping called you.

She said she was from the new brand team

and wanted to set up a meeting with you.

-For what? -Here.

J O Home Shopping is planning on making a multi-brand shop,

and they want to use your name.

Can't you just cut this kind of thing out without asking me?

A home shopping company? It'll cheapen my reputation.

Did you forget? I'm Se-ryeong O, the best style director in Korea.

I understand.

Okay.

It seems like Se-ryeong O is so hot these days.

They said her schedule was full for a year.

She can't even have a meeting?

I said even 30 minutes would be enough,

and that we'd be there wherever she wants to meet.

But they still said no.

She probably knows that you're involved in this project.

Should I go there and face them?

I think I can find out about her schedule through my connections.

I thought she couldn't even meet us for 30 minutes.

Excuse me! My name is Woo-young Lee, from J...

I know who you are.

I've heard so much that my ear is about to bleed.

Didn't I say no to that, by the way?

Just give us a chance for a presentation...

You're persistent.

Didn't you come to Michel Jang's launching party?

Do you work with Joo-yeon Shin?

Yes.

This is getting interesting.

Tell her to come and see me if she wants to work with me.

If you give us time for a presentation...

I'll think about it if she comes by herself.

Let's go.

Are you going to take the job?

No.

Why did you want to meet her, then?

Just for fun.

That's terrible.

Did she think I'd chicken out?

We're here as she told us to,

-but remember, we're the employer. -Of course!

-Mr. Woo-young Lee. -Hello.

Ms. Hee-jae Jung,

Ms. Min-jung Lee,

and you are the manager, right?

Your company must have an express promotion system.

Because I'm capable.

Let us give you the presentation first, which we're here for.

How about some drinks instead,

with me?

It's been a while since we drank last time.

Shall we make a toast?

I heard you already saw our business plan,

so I assume I don't have to tell you about it again.

Let's work together. You and I.

-No. -You've become old-fashioned.

-You mix emotions with work? -You should apologize first.

Ask Jung-ho why he broke up with you if he ever comes back.

It wasn't because of me.

-It wasn't? -No!

Why did you...

do that back then?

How could I

win against you?

So you stole my boyfriend to win?

You won all the time!

You were smart and you had many friends!

You were busy back then. You debuted when you were a student.

You're the one who stole him from me!

You knew I liked him but you still dated him.

Was John Park the only man you liked?

You liked every single man!

How could I respect your easy words then?

Do you want to know why Jung-ho broke up with you?

It's because you were never sincere.

It was the same for me, too.

If you considered me as your friend,

how could you look down on me when I fell for many guys?

It's all in the past.

-Let's stop talking about it. -You're the one who's bitter.

All right!

Let's talk about it here and not bring it up ever again!

Just

leave everything behind and work with me.

Try to win against me over work.

Haven't you thought of me winning by rejecting your proposal?

I won't

take that job!

I'll excuse myself.

I'm speechless.

What a bitch!

What?

This is so annoying!

POISONOUS SNAKE

Mr. Kang!

She rejected us in a terrible way. She drives me crazy!

My pride was hurt, and I'm going crazy here.

Where are you?

I'm at home and I can't go out right now.

Can't you buy me a drink?

Just go home and get some rest. I'll see you on Monday.

Okay.

One more glass, please.

Galliano again?

Just give me a bottle, please.

I'll keep it here for later if I can't finish it.

Did the guy who worked here before quit?

Yes, it's been a year since he quit.

I guess you haven't come here in a long time.

There was a dog here, too.

-Eve? -Yes, Eve!

I picked her up on Christmas Eve.

You must have been a regular here.

She'll be here with my boss.

She must have grown bigger.

You like every single man,

How could I respect your easy words then?

Why did you even meet him?

I had no choice but to meet him.

Why do you think he hits on you when he knows we're dating?

You don't think there's a problem with your behavior?

I've never

thought that way.

You're the only one who doesn't know the rumors about you.

You're too easy.

Too easy?

What I'm saying is

that you should be aware of what you do and...

Let's break up.

Turn the car around, Nam-young.

A glass of Galliano, please.

Okay.

This place has changed

a lot.

Eve!

You've grown bigger!

You look old now.

How have you been? Do you recognize me?

Has the owner changed here?

Yes.

Do you know Eve?

I left her here before.

My boyfriend and I found her on the street,

and both of us were allergic to dogs, so we couldn't keep her.

So we left her here.

It's amazing that you remember my face.

He was...

He was just here.

This is the man, right?

TAE-YOON KANG GENERAL MANAGER OF FASHION BUREAU

This is the only set that comes with all these.

And this is the newest release.

Please note that we don't have much in stock.

So make sure you stay tuned and do not miss your chance today.

-Let's me show you what colors we have. -Okay.

Many celebrities are also using these.

-What's that? - You will be surprised.

-They are in five different colors. -There are so many options.

Frying pans? I don't care if they are sold out or not.

Hello?

-What? -That offer of yours...

I'll take it.

Why? What made you change your mind?

I just want to

do it for fun.

-When can you come to my office? -Monday!

Hold on.

SE-RYEONG O RECORD

Say it again so I can record it.

I'll sue you if you change your statements.

So think before you talk. Will you work for the multi-brand shop

with me?

I will. Let's make this work, Joo-yeon Shin.

-Hello? -I'm here.

We, however, only sign contracts in our office,

so you need to come over on Monday.

What are you talking about? You should come to my office.

TAE-YOON KANG GENERAL MANAGER OF FASHION BUREAU

Never mind. I'll come to you.

Okay. I'll see you then.

What changed her mind?

What's happening? Has she lost her mind or something?

How are you doing?

Do you want to meet for lunch and catch up?

I'm busy.

SHINGSHING

Hello?

Did you sleep well?

Who is this?

It's Allen. I need to see you today. I got my car back,

but there's a problem.

It's a serious one.

I don't have much time, so wash up and meet me at the playground.

But...

What was that?

Why is there a problem with the car?

There's no problem!

Buckle up.

I don't see any problems. What did you mean?

What...

Just wait.

You'll see the serious flaw.

What is it that's so serious?

Just eat this.

Does it make sense

that the engine stops every two hours?

Okay, let's say it does.

But what's it got to do with the side view mirrors?

You don't think it's my fault, do you?

Just be quiet. You have something to do with it.

It'd better be. Or you won't get away with this.

You know what the most important thing to me is?

It's time, not money.

Oh gosh.

You're so noisy.

I mean...

What's the name of this song, by the way? I like it a lot.

Number nine on the Billboard chart, "Now and Forever."

See? It's not even been two hours, and the engine stopped.

You stopped the engine.

This is so uncomfortable!

Why would you do this?

Be creative. Why do you think I did it?

Why do you think I lied to call upon you on this precious weekend?

This is so uncomfortable.

I don't like these kinds of conversations.

I like things that are clear, certain, and easy!

Oh,

so I guess you don't like things that are cheesy.

You feel there's something growing big in your heart,

but you don't like the fact that you can't control your emotions.

You're not

feeling uncomfortable. You are having butterflies.

I've grown to like you.

But...

Since when?

Why? Why do you like me?

It hasn't been long since we met.

Our first impression was bad, and I'm not the lovable type.

Besides, you told me that I was so twisted...

Do you always look for logical reasons when you start dating?

Then,

should I start

without checking things like these?

I kiss first

before I start dating.

When you kiss, you know if he's the right guy for you or not.

A particular day, a particular moment.

And the moment that all those things come together.

I'm sick and tired of the hell of dating.

Falling for a guy is a crazy thing to do.

It's been a while.

I thought you'd call me, at least once.

I didn't know that we'd end it so easily just like that.

Hey, Sweet Potato! What did you see?

Honey, you should break this habit.
