Sang Min must've had such a hard time, right?
It sure isn't easy living alone.
When I lived alone, I couldn't be bothered to cook, so I just ate snacks or starved.
- Did you? - But isn't he a painter?
He had too many scars on his hand for someone who isn't a sculptor.
- You saw that too, right? - Yes.
I wonder why.
I'm sure he sometimes injures himself from sharpening pencils.
But that won't cause that many scars.
Could he be living a double life?
Could he be painting in the day but turn into a fighter at night?
You should've been a novelist, not an editor. You agree, right?
Anyway, what's taking them so long?
"Them"? Ji Wan and who else?
Right. I forgot Mr. Hyun lives with him.
Are we carpooling together starting today, then?
I already did since yesterday.
Yesterday, you were so...
No, I can't see him.
I'm not ready for this yet.
What are you not ready for?
I'll tell you later.
Tell them I have a lot of work, so I left early.
Bye.
She's acting strange.
Ga Eun?
Hi.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Where's Ms. Han?
She had a lot of work, so she left early.
- Hi, Mr. Choi. - Hi, Ga Eun.
Let's go.
This doesn't make sense.
Why is she avoiding me when we'll see each other at work?
She's just like an ostrich.
Does she think running away right now will solve the problem?
She's strangely simple-minded in such situations.
Si Woon!
I'm coming.
(Be My Dream Family)
(Episode 13)
Ms. Kim said she sent the edited version.
Finally.
She must have had a really tough time. How many months did she take?
Due to unexpected changes, she had a lot to work on.
I'll give her a call later.
This can't be happening. Tell me this isn't happening.
I'm sorry. I can't do that.
Since the meeting is over, let's have another meeting.
- Meeting. - All right.
After a meeting for editors, an all-hands meeting awaits.
After an all-hands meeting, a meeting for writers awaits.
After a meeting for writers, a design team meeting awaits.
- It's a meeting after meeting. - "It's a meeting after meeting."
It sounded like you are having doubts about your job.
- How long have you been working here? - Never mind.
I remember how competitive it was to get an offer here.
I love meetings so much.
Please keep loving them.
Where did I put it?
We must now decide on the format for the "Anais" series.
I made unbound editions with both A4 papers and A5 papers.
I was the one who suggested that we make unbound editions.
Bookbinding is pretty costly. We can't just start printing them.
Let's be economical with the company's budget.
It's all our money.
Don't you agree, sir?
Let's make it with A5 paper for now, which fits better in children's hands.
What will you do for the pre-marketing of the new series?
We will make a social media account with the character in "Anais."
We will upload posts with illustrations as if the character runs the account.
We could post things like diary entries.
We could also make comments and advertise our events as well.
- How does that sound? - You just started working here yesterday.
Do you think you can do that when you read the story only a few times?
The target readers are children of age up to 13 years.
Do you think you can communicate well with them?
Yes. That's what I came here for.
Also, I read the manuscript so many times that I almost memorized it.
I'll communicate continuously with the writer as well.
Besides that, we have so many other ideas.
We can also make YouTube videos where we interview each character.
Also, we could make character merchandise and give them away.
Let's do meet and greet at least three times with the writer.
There are so many things to do, right?
Are you saying we should do all of that?
Yes.
Sounds good. Let's discuss this again with a detailed marketing plan.
Let's check the publishing dates for separate volumes.
Design Team, how is the design for "Liar's Notebook" coming along?
It's ready, right?
Why would he make such a big deal out of it?
Does he not care about our budget since he's working here temporarily?
I never knew I would agree with Mr. Lee on anything,
but he went too far. Does he know how much it costs to do each event?
I like how enthusiastic he is about it.
I know he's competent to do all he says.
I'm okay with his being enthusiastic and competent.
But let's be practical...
I had a feeling someone kept talking about me behind my back.
Sir, you must know very well that I don't cause any harm to anyone.
Who do you think is talking about me behind my back and giving me this feeling?
I wasn't talking behind your back. I was making an official suggestion.
- Mr. Hyun. - Yes?
I like everything you said, but let's try to bring it down a little.
You know our company isn't as big as the one we used to work at.
I've taken all of that into consideration already.
You can count on me.
You must've ordered Yi Jae's present that you destroyed,
seeing how you're talking behind my back.
I said I wasn't.
I've been looking for it.
Since it's a limited edition, it's taking some time.
I know. Since it's a limited edition, it was super expensive.
But you'll take full responsibility for it, won't you?
Knowing you care so much about how the company is doing financially,
I trust that you'll be considerate towards other people's finance as well.
I'm not a politician. Why would I care about other people's financial situation?
I'll take care of it. Don't make me a weird person.
What are you doing?
Has no one told you that you look like an ostrich?
What? An ostrich?
You are tall and have big eyes.
You also act a bit like an ostrich.
You've heard that before, right?
You look just like an ostrich right now.
Hello, it's me.
Did Yi Jae go to the academy?
Did he seem to do okay there?
I see. I got it.
I'll see you in the evening.
You lose if you don't play. Rock-paper-scissors.
Nice. Come here.
- Come on. - Hold on.
Hold still.
- How was it? - Sorry.
By the way, where you live?
Are you new here?
He didn't say anything for a while.
Maybe, he can't talk.
Say something.
- What's your name? - What is it?
- Tell us. - Please?
Kim Hyun Jun, Park Min Ho, don't be a bully.
We weren't bullying him.
We were just talking to him.
Forcing someone who doesn't want to talk to talk counts as bullying.
I got you.
- She's so mean. - Let's go.
They aren't bad guys.
They are nice. They are just immature.
You can speak when you want to.
Stamp here.
If you didn't marry him for his money, there should be no problem.
Welcome.
Jong Hwa.
I'm glad no one is here.
Let's go.
Let's register our marriage before I get back to work.
I see.
You can go back to work then.
There's no need for you to be in a hurry.
I feel too impatient.
Let's go.
Well...
Actually, someone made a reservation.
She's a regular here. She said she needs to get a perm for an event tomorrow.
She'll be here soon.
Really? Okay, then.
I'll go to work first.
- Then, I'll come back. - Sure. Take your time.
- See you later. - Sure.
Bye.
Oh, my! Young Hye!
It's me.
Min Hee.
What brings you here?
- Hi. - Hey, hello.
What do you mean?
I come here very often.
I'd like to ask you the same. What's your purpose here?
I'm here to do some shopping, of course. What else?
Min Ah will start attending the Seoul National University soon,
so I wanted to buy her some clothes.
It looks like you were on your way out. Goodbye, then.
Young Hye. This place is expensive.
I guess you didn't know since you've never been to places like this.
You made your way here for nothing.
You're young. Don't you buy things from the internet?
- You can buy... - Min Hee.
I have enough money to buy my daughter some clothes.
Don't worry, and go on your way.
- Let's go. - Bye.
All she can brag about is money.
Whenever she opens her mouth, it's about money.
Your daughter isn't the only one going to Seoul National University.
Whenever she opens her mouth, it's about that.
I told you to come out dressed. I need to see it.
It's too small. I want something else.
Why is it too small?
- Really? - Yes.
That's strange.
Let's take a look.
Did you gain a little weight?
I guess so.
I guess you would when all you do is eat and study.
It would be strange if you didn't.
That's all right. You're still very skinny.
You could gain some more weight.
There isn't much here, though.
- Let's try the other place. - Okay.
- Mom. - Yes?
Let's sit down.
You're getting out of breath since you're out, aren't you?
- Yes. - All right. Let's take a break.
- Are you thirsty? Do you want some water? - Yes.
Here.
They're so young.
I'm not that uptight,
but it's not a good sight to see youngsters behaving that way.
Don't tell me you do when you're out.
Oh, my.
Don't be surprised. Wipe your face with this.
Does that make you cringe at the thought of it?
My baby. You're so innocent.
Even old guys returning to school will try to get close to you in college.
- You can't just date anyone, okay? - Okay.
You can go on blind dates a couple of times for fun...
but enjoy your freshman year first.
Enjoy your college and new friends,
and you can start dating later. It won't be too late.
- All right? - Okay.
That's right.
Don't you have to pay the college tuition fee around now?
What?
Oh, right.
They haven't said anything yet. I'll tell you when they put up a notice.
All right.
Stop.
Forward.
Stop. Okay.
Start there. Okay.
Director Mang.
Oh, someone's here.
Thank you for your hard work.
Min Hee, what are you doing here?
You left after filming this morning.
I did,
but I thought I should pay you back for what you did.
I thought about your body shape, skin tone,
and facial features while picking this out.
I'm sure you'll like it.
Oh, I see. Thank you.
You don't need to do this.
I'm doing it because I want to. Don't you understand?
Try it on.
- Here. Wrap it around your neck. - Oh, my goodness.
Here. Make a knot.
- Okay. - Here.
I'll do it for you.
- How did you know that I like this color? - There we go.
Good luck, Director.
Hang in there.
It doesn't suit him. Expensive things really don't suit him.
Was that not enough as a bribe?
Should I have fed him some red ginseng?
Sang Gu's not here. Let's go.
I keep losing my hair even though I'm taking medicine.
It's cut right in half like the Red Sea.
My hair seems to be thinning. This isn't good.
Sang Gu.
Why the long face? You're cranking in soon.
It's from the stress.
Look at this gray hair!
- I'm going to pluck them all out. - Hey!
You don't know how precious your hair is. Don't pluck it out!
- It's my hair. - It doesn't matter whose it is!
How dare you show off your thick hair.
- Move it! - Hold on.
First of all, I'm sorry.
Since you're here, can you help me?
It's complete nonsense. It just keeps getting worse!
What is this?
It's even worse than you said.
I know.
The male lead is utterly oblivious to the fact that his stepmom...
is stealing his dad's fortune one by one.
He keeps his distance from his family and regrets it later.
That's okay.
But the characters are too unreasonable!
Their father is a businessman.
He's a smart man,
but he falls head over heels for her and acts like a complete fool!
He runs into a wall while looking at her.
He does things he never did before.
All he does is say okay to whatever the woman says.
"What is he?"
"A teenager in love?"
"He's an old man! This doesn't make any sense."
Do you know what the writer said when I said that?
"You don't know what love is, Director."
"You can do anything for love."
It's not like I've never dated anyone.
Does this make any sense?
The character is too much!
What will the viewers say?
"This isn't a drama. It's a comedy show!"
That's what they'll say.
- Does this make any sense at all? - It does.
What? It does?
Yes, it does.
People fall crazy in love in their late years too.
I really don't want to do this.
It's making the guy look like a fool!
The father is done,
so the male lead needs to take matters into his own hands.
The son can't just keep his distance and get robbed blind!
Really? Then what?
What would he do? He needs to make her sign a paper.
A property disclaimer.
(Disclaimer of Property)
"Stamp this to say that you won't use my father's money."
And he gives her the papers.
A disclaimer!
That would work.
It's no fun if he keeps losing. And?
Then she'll probably stamp the papers. He keeps those papers.
But I think that she'll be that easy to deal with.
She'll be smiling in front of him,
but she'll have plans behind his back.
She's going to cry crocodile tears and get everything she wants.
He needs to keep an eye on her.
He needs to keep his eyes wide open.
When she shows up with anything expensive on her,
shove the papers in front of her right then.
The paper needs to say this.
"Double the penalty if she violates the terms."
- A penalty! - Yes. Double.
And?
He shoves the papers in her face...
and tells her, "I knew you would do this!"
"Whose money did you guy this with? It was my father's, wasn't it?"
"Then it's all my money!"
"This is a violation of the terms."
"Give me the money and get lost!"
"Get lost!"
Sang Gu.
But he's the main character. He's a bit too unlikeable.
What do you mean, unlikeable? He's just realistic.
I think the viewers will hate him.
Then, are they supposed to get robbed with their eyes open?
People like me...
I mean, there needs to be someone like him as well.
He's smart and intelligent. Why would he get fooled?
There's no way he'll get fooled.
I guess you're right. The male lead is smart.
But you really are something, Sang Gu.
It's not even your script. How did you get into it so quickly?
This is why you're good at script analysis.
I really respect you.
Of course.
You don't get a 15-percent audience rating with just anyone.
What happens to the woman, though?
What happens to her? She gets completely ruined, right?
I did the right thing.
I know I did.
It may happen in a drama, but who would be fooled in real life?
Good job.
I'm sure Min Ah would tell her. She's by herself with Mom.
I don't know what she's thinking.
Is it okay to just let her be?
Also, we don't even know how many months it's been.
Didn't you ask her?
You should wait until this week.
If you tell Mom,
she'd be furious for not telling her as soon as you found out.
I'm sure Min Ah would tell her.
She would, won't she?
You should study.
I feel too scared and lonely to lie down in the bedroom by myself.
Don't worry about me and study.
I'll just go to the study room.
Okay!
- What the heck? - That was awesome.
- Hey! - Yes?
- I thought they were losers. - They are...
Hey, what's with you? Did you play games instead of studying?
You're so good.
It's been a while, but I still got it.
I'll get going.
Oh, thank you for picking up the tab.
Hey, you're leaving?
Just play one last one.
I really need to go to the study room.
- See you, Byung Kyu. - You can't leave like this.
Hey, kid.
You can't rip me off like this. We've just met.
Pardon?
Let's play one last time.
You said it was the last round earlier. I need to go to the study room now.
So I'm telling you to play one more time.
My fingers are warmed up now.
- Let's go. - Well...
Should I return the tab you picked up, then?
What?
- Hey. - Yes?
Did I ask you for money? Did I?
You brat, do you want a piece of me?
My nephew, what's going on?
What?
Get your hand off of him.
In Seo, who is he?
Is he just a bad guy?
That's...
Who are you?
- You should calm down. - Get off.
You must've worked out.
I know you have a black belt,
but why would you butt in?
You should just go on your way instead of butting in!
Seriously.
I dropped them!
Are you all right?
Hey.
They got wrinkled!
I printed them today.
Are you all right?
- You must've been startled. - I'm okay.
Thank you for helping me.
You don't need to thank me. Of course, I should've helped.
- Tell me if he bullies you again. - Okay.
Sit down.
That sleazy jerk.
I hate those who don't play fair and become sore losers...
and who pick on the weak.
You must've played judo for a long time.
It looks like it was a while back.
That's when I was in high school.
After winning that, I became a backup national athlete.
Oh, my gosh. Were you a national athlete?
I was just a backup.
I didn't manage to do it until the end because of the injury, but it's okay.
It's not like you work out to win.
You seem like a strong person.
Me?
Well, I am strong physically.
You're strong physically.
You're also a good athlete and have a strong backbone.
I admire strong people...
since I'm small-framed.
You're really cool.
Come on. It's nothing.
Judo is a cool sport.
You could do it once you get trained.
Would you like to try it?
Me?
It will be fun. Get home safely.
- All right. - Bye.
You got a newbie.
You got one today.
He's not just a newbie.
He's my nephew. I think he could even be my pupil.
- Right. - He says I'm cool.
That would be nice.
Even if he becomes a pupil, you need to get a training fee.
Geez, what kind of aunt takes money from her nephew?
- Take it out of my salary. - Pardon me?
- Ms. Han! - What?
There we go.
Right.
- Thank you. - See you again.
- Jong Hwa. - I got here when the customer left.
I finished up quickly too. Let's take off.
Well, I don't have any customers.
I don't, but...
What's the matter? The City Hall will close soon.
I have all the marriage registration forms.
But the thing is...
- My wallet. - Yes?
I left my wallet at home.
I need my ID card, don't I?
It's in my wallet.
- I'll quickly get it... - Wait.
We could drop by while on our way there.
No, it's all right. It's in the opposite direction.
We don't need to go around and waste gas.
I'll be right back. Wait here for a second.
No. Wait.
Gosh, what do I do?
Do I have to tell him I can't find it?
What should I tell him?
Goodness, her wallet was here.
(Disclaimer of Property)
Sang Gu, that lunatic!
(Be My Dream Family)
