(Uicheon Villa)
Darn.
Ga On.
- Hyo Sim. - Why can't you keep your promise?
This is a breach of contract.
Come on.
Are you a lawyer or what?
Ma'am, please calm down.
Do you think what you've done is right?
What's going on? What's wrong?
The pretty lady and Ms. Kkeut Soon are fighting.
What? We should go in there.
- You stay over there. - My gosh.
Ms. Kkeut Soon.
- What... - My gosh, Hyo Sim.
It's a good thing you came.
Hyo Sim, be the referee for us.
What's going on?
- Why are you arguing? - Don't.
We have been working our butts off cleaning up for her,
but she won't stop yelling and nagging in our ears.
Never have I come across a tenant...
who bosses around her land lady.
Who are you saying is bossy?
It's only because you haven't kept your word.
Ma'am, Ms. Kkeut Soon, please calm down.
Why don't we talk it out over steamed buns?
Did you say steamed buns?
Wait, do these have red beans?
Yes, red beans.
Do you have any made with pumpkin?
I'm afraid I don't.
Unbelievable.
You should've bought half made with pumpkin...
and half made with black rice.
You never know how to change things up.
One should be grateful for someone's generosity.
Just eat what she bought.
Did you see that?
She's sticking her nose in our snacks as well.
And it's not like I can kill her for this.
What was that?
Ma'am, Ms. Kkeut Soon, please stop this.
You can't argue on the first day.
- My goodness. - Why you...
Ma'am and Ms. Kkeut Soon.
- Why you... - Please.
My gosh.
I'll bring the sikhye. Please don't argue while I'm gone.
Mom, I'm home.
How's your upset stomach?
Did you have the dried pollack soup I made for you this morning?
What on earth? Didn't you have any of it?
Why are you still like that?
Mom, does your stomach still burn?
What's wrong?
Are you still upset about Dad?
Of course not.
Mom.
I said that wasn't it.
Don't bother me, and go about your evening.
- Mr. Park. - Right.
Ga On wanted yogurt instead of sikhye,
so I was on my way to get some.
How are the two ladies doing?
This might be a huge problem.
What if they keep on arguing?
Tell me about it.
It would be nice for them to get along.
Ms. Kkeut Soon's no pushover,
but the rooftop lady has a temper as well.
She has charisma.
It's red bean that you love.
Still, the old lady went through a huge ordeal.
We should look after her.
I know.
How's your mother? Has she sobered up?
I think so, but she still seems depressed.
Really? What should we do?
She'll feel better in time.
Where's the sikhye?
- I want yogurt! - Go on inside.
Okay. I'm coming!
Goodness.
Oh, gosh...
Mom.
I made kimchi jjigae, your favorite,
and a new batch of rice, so eat when you want to.
You didn't eat a thing yesterday.
Cheer up today and eat, okay?
What's going on?
Why isn't he here?
(Restricted, No Outsiders Permitted)
Hello? Can you help me?
Is anyone in?
Hello?
What do you want?
Is there a Ms. Choi Myung Hee here?
No, there isn't.
Can you please check?
I'm looking for Choi Myung Hee.
I know, and she's not here.
This is a private residence. Now leave.
I know she's here. Let me in.
Or I'll call the police.
Open the gate, punks!
Grandma! Tae Ho's here!
Grandma! It's Tae Ho, I'm here!
She's not here.
Get lost.
Leave before we...
Must we beat some sense into you?
Get him!
Get up!
I said she was not here!
I think Mr. Tae Ho's here.
I'll take care of it.
Mr. Yeom.
Yes?
When Grandmother was here,
was she hap...
No.
Was she in good health?
She struggled a bit at first.
But she settled in pretty quickly.
You know...
what she's like.
Mr. Yeom.
Yes, sir.
If anything like this happens again,
we won't be able to work together anymore.
What are you referring to?
You made me look like a fool.
I apologize.
Finding Grandmother...
will be my job from here on out.
Mr. Yeom, you're to lay off it.
Yes, sir. I understand.
Let go of me!
Darn you.
Come back again, and we'll kill you.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Darn him.
What the heck?
Will you get lost?
- Get out of here. - That's enough.
- Leave! - I said stop!
- My gosh. - Go on inside.
My word. What a nuisance.
Thank you for looking after...
my grandmother so far.
You did a good job.
(Muyi Diner)
Goodness.
I apologize.
Are you okay?
(Trainer Lee Hyo Sim)
The person you have reached is unavailable.
(Client Kang Tae Ho)
He won't pick up?
No, he won't.
Why isn't he here when he made a fit...
demanding that we open at five?
I taught him in your place,
and I totally saw how stressed you must be.
He was a no-show without prior notice,
so mark it as a workout done...
and give him a stern warning later.
Hey, Ms. Lee. Are you feeling better now?
Yes. Sorry for making you worry.
You should watch your health.
To use a word that youngsters say these days,
out of all the trainers here, you're my bias.
Ms. Lee, I think we should adopt...
a real-name system for the popularity vote.
Why would you say that?
This is a free, democratic country.
Why should we reveal our votes?
Our actions should match our words.
Some members vote for one trainer...
then tell another trainer they're their favorite.
I can't stand such hypocrisy.
People should be more transparent.
Aren't I right?
My goodness...
Wait. Which party will you vote for in next year's general election?
Be transparent and tell me that first.
Why should I tell you that?
- You said we should be transparent! - My gosh.
That's enough.
There's a ban on political discussions here.
No discussing politics, religion, or grandchildren.
Wait.
I'll pay to discuss.
You can't, even if you pay.
Ma'am, let's go to the cafe. I'll buy you a coffee.
Ms. Lee!
Yes?
Let me check your back.
You said it had been hurting.
You, you offended me.
Don't come by tomorrow!
You can be the one to skip!
Let's go to the cafe.
Buy me a piece of cake too.
No, it's fattening.
Oh, hey, Tae Min.
Why are you so hard to reach?
Do you know how many times I called?
Sorry, I was busy studying.
Studying fashion.
Oh, right. Congratulations on your release.
It must've been stressful.
I was so worried about you.
I swear.
Kang Tae Hee, do you want some tea?
Say so if you do, instead of stealing mine.
That kid...
Kang Tae Hee.
Put him on.
Please don't.
Shall I chew you out? Put him on.
Shoot.
He's a friend.
It's 4:30 a.m. in Paris.
Why would you have a friend over?
Darn it.
You called at 4:30 a.m. What does that make you?
If you weren't at home yet,
I was about to hop on a plane.
Put the guy on.
My friend, he's gay.
A gay friend has a deadline tomorrow,
so we were studying together.
You have no idea how sensitive he is or what great fashion sense he has.
Stop saying that. It hurts.
He's not the only friend I'm having over right now.
If you don't believe me, hop on the plane.
How do you get by, doubting your own little sister?
Keep doing this to me and I really will retaliate.
What?
Kang Tae Hee.
I visit Europe on business next month.
I'll drop by to see you then.
If you're out late at night...
or clubbing, I will chew you out.
If you need anything,
text me.
I'll send a package.
Bye.
Don't go out late at night.
Darn it.
He'll be the death of me.
He's worse than Mom.
I preferred it when he was in prison.
Kang Tae Hee.
What did you say about me?
Think about it, Mister.
If my brother were to know...
we're not married but living together,
he'd make sure that very day that we both lose our heads.
Don't you worry.
I'll make some money soon and move out.
When?
Loan sharks are after you.
Hey. Can you not say something so chilling?
I told you not to mention that.
And why are you wearing that on your head indoors?
It makes me feel smarter.
"The Starry Night" puzzle I couldn't even touch...
is coming together much faster.
You're really something weird.
Mister.
How much money do you owe?
It's 30,000 dollars.
Didn't you lose Banz too?
Yes.
A man really should have a car.
How much is the car worth?
Well, 80,000 dollars.
How could you afford it?
My savings plus the 30,000-dollar loan...
were the down payment.
The rest, I pay off over 36 months at 1,000 dollars a month.
If the loan's 30,000 dollars,
it'll be 40,000 at most even with interest.
You could pay back your debt and still have some left.
Thirty, eighty, forty...
Right!
My goodness.
I really must be getting smarter.
Isn't this awesome?
Su Jeong.
I got a Banz.
(Indangsu)
What? Did I take it from a debtor?
I did not.
I didn't take it from a debtor.
I worked really hard...
and bought the car with cash.
What?
You won't date a loan shark?
Su Jeong.
I'm not a loan shark.
I'm in finance.
It's called "capital financing."
Su Jeong, listen to... Su Jeong!
The darn loan shark.
He's frightfully ugly.
Fine, you witch. Good riddance.
Mom, why do you keep calling?
Even if the bank closes at 4 p.m.,
I still have a lot to do afterward.
Don't you want me to become a branch manager?
I need to get promoted...
if I'm to buy you a bed...
and send you on trips overseas.
Why would you want to come to my bank?
How do we get it back?
That's easy. There are two keys.
Where's the other one?
At home.
At home?
Oh, no!
What's wrong?
My sister's at home.
She's worse than your brother.
He doesn't hit you, does he?
My sister...
She does.
(Kang Tae Ho)
(Restricted, No Outsiders Permitted)
You must be the young man the guards told me about.
I don't know why you're fixated on my vacation home,
but look around as you please.
I guess that'll help you get some closure.
Welcome, ma'am.
Greetings, ma'am.
Please show this young man around.
Of course.
Grandma.
Grandma, it's Tae Ho.
Grandma, it's Tae Ho!
Grandma.
Grandma?
If you're done looking around, please leave.
(Restricted, No Outsiders Permitted)
Mr. Kang, this is your trainer Lee Hyo Sim.
You weren't at the gym, so I'm leaving you a message.
Please let me know if you'll be here tomorrow.
Your message has been recorded.
What now?
Have you eaten?
No.
Are you still moping?
When will it be enough?
When will you stop doing this on Dad's birthday?
I told you to forget about him and move on.
Because of you,
I dread his birthday every year.
This isn't about your father.
Then what is this about?
I don't have an appetite,
and life is an absolute bore.
I just feel like there's nothing to live for.
Why would you have nothing to live for?
What do you say to a trip? I could take you.
Tell me where you want to go.
Why bother when we'll be stuck in traffic?
Is it because of Hyo Do?
Because he hasn't been home or stayed in touch?
Him running away from home isn't all that surprising.
Let the brat live the way he wants.
I...
Then what's the matter?
I can't get any work done knowing that you're moping around.
Don't let it trouble you. I'm hanging up.
Hyo Do.
Mom?
Hyo Do!
Hyo Do.
You darn brat. Hyo Do!
- Run. - Hyo Do.
Run.
Hyo Do!
You darn brat!
Hyo Do, you brat.
Who on earth is that bimbo next to you?
What? A bimbo?
Just keep running.
Hyo Do!
That brat.
We hired people and handled the situation for now.
However, we'll need a planned countermeasure.
Shut down the vacation home and put it on the market.
Actually, there's a more crucial matter.
Director Kang...
said he'd find Advisor Choi himself...
and that I was to lay off it.
What? Tae Min said that?
Get up, this instant.
What is it?
How long will you be like this?
Tae Ho...
and even Tae Min are...
at the vacation home in Gangwon Province.
When will you sober up, darn it?
Leave me out of it.
They can settle it themselves.
Honey!
Darn it!
Cook ramyeon for me.
What?
If you want me on my feet again,
you'll cook ramyeon for me.
Channel the former textile factory bookkeeper...
who tried to win over the chairman's son...
by cooking him a hangover ramyeon...
with everything she could get her hands on,
and make me a bowl of ramyeon.
Don't ask the housekeeper, and do it yourself.
Why you...
Have your ramyeon.
Have your ramyeon, darn it!
That's rich.
No one cooks a better hangover ramyeon.
My gosh.
Don't worry.
What could Tae Ho find out on his own?
He'll soon give up.
Does it look like I'm worried about Tae Ho?
Even Tae Min is looking for your mother now.
This is your fault for babbling your mouth while drunk.
What if Tae Min finds her before we do?
What if...
your mother...
tells Tae Min everything?
Could you...
be able to handle him?
My gosh.
This is exactly why you should think before you act.
You got on your father's bad side and were sent away to the factory.
I only cooked ramyeon for you because I felt bad...
about you drinking your life away.
Who knew I'd be stuck babysitting you like this?
You darn moron.
How can you even eat that right now?
Gosh.
Hello, sir.
Hold on, Mr. Lee.
Yes?
Please set up a meeting this week...
with the presidents of our subsidiaries.
And I'd like their financial reports...
for the third quarter.
Of course, sir.
Go up as you inhale.
Come down as you exhale.
Lower your shoulders and elongate your body.
Come back up.
Come down as you exhale and stop.
Good.
- From there, go back up. - Let me take that.
This is a surprise.
We should have dinner.
Dinner?
- I'd like that. - See you later, then.
Yes?
This is the financial report you requested.
Good job.
(General Manager Kang Tae Ho)
Mr. Yeom.
I have something to report.
Manager Kang Tae Ho is absent without notice.
You moron.
You call that a report?
I was just returning from seeing where he was.
Is this the best you can do?
And to believe that you're the company's deputy manager.
You should be demoted.
Demoted, darn it!
You should be demoted.
My gosh.
No way!
Look at how clean it is.
Yes!
Nice.
Nice!
Yes!
Let us now write up a formal contract.
Before we do so,
please take this moment to speak your mind...
and make any demands.
Once you sign this contract, it'll be final.
In the history of Uicheon Villa,
the rooftop space has never been this tidy.
The huge space provided...
is for you to enjoy.
Also,
the stone mortar and karaoke machine...
are yours to use...
free of charge.
I don't need anything.
It's a breach of contract...
to keep the karaoke machine and stone mortar out there.
Come on.
The karaoke machine means a great deal to me,
and the stone mortar is too heavy...
for anyone to carry down the stairs.
Ma'am, I tried to carry the mortar down,
but it was too heavy.
It is still a breach of contract.
I will take back my offer to pay a deposit of 10,000 dollars...
and a rent of 1,000 dollars.
I will pay 10,000 and 700 dollars, which was the original offer.
- What? - What?
What about the time we spent clearing the rooftop for you?
Mom, guess what this is.
A member at the gym gave it to me for the elders,
but I forgot to bring it home.
Mom?
- Let go. - Gosh.
Let go of me. I've been scammed!
Just accept what she's offering.
Mr. Park, what's going on?
- I'll tell you some other time. - What?
My gosh.
Ms. Kkeut Soon's plan has been shattered.
- What? - You scam artist!
You're a scam artist.
Ma'am, did something else happen?
- It's not worth talking about. - You nasty scam artist.
- Ma'am. - Move out!
Climbing the stairs will hurt your knees, so please have this.
Ms. Kkeut Soon!
I can't believe it.
This is so unfair.
Ms. Kkeut Soon, come on.
Why do you keep arguing with her?
Well,
that old lady went back on her word.
She promised a deposit of 10,000 dollars...
and a rent of 1,000.
But just because I wouldn't get rid of the mortar and karaoke machine,
she brought it down to 10,000 and 700 dollars.
- My gosh. - It's so unfair.
Shouldn't the monthly rent be 500 dollars?
Rooftop units in the neighborhood...
go for a deposit of 10,000 and a rent of 500 dollars.
I know how it is...
because my school bus drops me off outside a real estate agency.
Quiet.
Why do you always stick your nose in grown-ups' business?
Would you like to get an earful?
I hate you, Ms. Kkeut Soon.
I'm not fond of you either.
Ga On, there's sponge cake at home, so have some.
- Ms. Kkeut Soon, - Yes?
please stop fuming...
and have this instead.
What on earth is this?
I got it as a gift, and I brought some for you as well.
Is that so?
Let me see.
Goodness.
How's your mother doing?
She hasn't eaten since yesterday...
and has been on the couch all day.
I wonder why.
Could it be because of Hyo Do?
It's not the first time he has acted out.
Could it be because of Hyo Jun, then?
I heard that his exam next January was his last chance.
I have no idea whatsoever.
My gosh.
I can already feel the energy surging through my body.
You're such a drama queen, Ms. Bang.
I'm only speaking the truth.
(Sanggil Study Room)
(Chapter 6: Additional Payment and Compensatory Time Off)
Look at this.
Hey, what's that?
Gosh, I love it.
("One Day, All of a Sudden")
Ms. Jung Mi Rim.
Yes.
Where did you get the costume?
I got this at Dongmyo.
It's not just about costumes. You should work on your acting skills.
You can't just show up in a zombie costume.
This is why everyone and their dog want to be actors.
But they have to be prepared.
You can't make an actress like that.
I'm sorry.
I don't think you have what it takes to become an actress.
Pardon?
You should find another job.
I'm saying this for your sake.
You may leave now.
(Iljeong Island Webfoot Octopus)
You're studying to be an actress. Don't you care about your looks?
You seem to be in a bad mood.
Did you fail an audition or what?
Yes. I failed an audition.
Is that so?
Why do you want to be an actress anyway?
Tell me. Why is that?
Because it's my long-held dream.
So I guess you can dream of becoming anything.
Do you think you're pretty when you look in the mirror?
And when you don't feel like staying home and go out,
people say you're pretty...
and men try to get your number.
"Fine. My life is too good to be wasted like this."
"I should be a celebrity." Is that it?
So you go about auditions with the aspiration of becoming an actress.
But things don't go as you planned.
It turns out there are a lot of people out there...
who are more talented and beautiful than you are.
So you're just here drinking every night all upset.
You know what?
It's not that I want to be a celebrity.
I want to be a real actress.
I'm working hard to become...
a real actress.
Come on. A real actress, my foot.
You just want to be a star.
A star in a fancy dress...
who gets a lot of attention and love.
You want to be paid millions of dollars for movies and commercials.
And you want to buy buildings that cost tens of millions of dollars.
If that's not an option, you can at least meet a rich man...
and live well off thanks to your wealthy in-laws.
If you don't make good money,
you can at least be a doctor's wife.
Because of people like you,
a lot of celebrities are suffering from vicious rumors...
and hateful comments.
What do you know about them?
They all went through the same thing as me...
to be where they are now.
You can't shoot your mouth off without knowing anything about them.
Come on. Forget it.
Then why did you come to Sillim-dong?
If you want to be an actress,
you should go to Yeouido or Chungmuro.
I get it.
I hear there are a lot of people who want to be celebrities these days.
That's right.
So becoming a celebrity...
is like the bar exam now.
Gosh, what a crazy world we live in.
So it's like the bar exam to be a celebrity.
What do you know about this field?
You have no idea how hard I try to chase my dream.
Do you even know how hard I'm trying to hold out?
Well...
And...
do you know what I had to go through today?
How it...
made me want to kill myself.
Do you know that?
Well... I mean...
It's you who messed with me first the other day.
You...
What?
Hey.
Hey, wake up.
(Makgeolli)
Ma'am, you can't let her drink so much.
Hey, wake up. Get a grip.
Gosh, she reeks of alcohol.
Why did you drink so much?
Hurry and wake up. You can't be like this.
Come on. Wake up already.
Gosh.
She's not Jun Ji Hyun...
or Song Hye Kyo. She's just Jung Mi Rim.
Come on! Wake up now!
What? No, you can't.
It's my fault. I'm sorry. Please.
Darn it!
Fine. I'll make it quick.
Please hold it back a little more.
How much is it, sir?
My goodness. Oh, dear.
Gosh.
(Book Report on Hermann Hesse's "Demian")
What's this?
It's your book report.
You just got it done?
Mom asked you to do it long ago.
I've been busy.
I hope it's not too late.
Mom said she'd hire someone to do it.
I write better book reports than some part-timers.
I was into literature when I was younger.
Email me the report instead.
I need to revise it with my tutor.
What? Okay.
I'll show myself out then.
Keep working hard.
You know what, Ru Bi?
"The bird fights its way out of the egg."
It's a famous quote from "Demian."
You didn't write the book report, but you should remember this.
Okay.
All right then.
- Dad. - What?
Why are we cleaning the house?
Your mom is busy and tired.
We should help around the house.
But I thought you worked at the company...
and Mom was in charge of housework.
Hey, she's busy taking care of your education.
So I should help her.
I don't understand why you're being like this.
Gosh.
I should be nice to your mom.
She had to quit her job because of her children.
Mom had a job?
- Yes. - Where did she work?
The Planning Department of Taesan Group.
What?
She was more competent than me.
But she had to leave her job when we got you guys.
Are you serious?
Is it really true...
that Mom had her own career?
I just can't believe that.
Why would you look down on your mom like that?
Just look at her.
She's a typical housewife.
You silly thing. I should teach you a lesson.
What's all the fuss about?
Do you really have to clean when I'm trying to study here?
Gosh, I'm so sorry.
If she was going to raise her daughter like that,
she shouldn't have left...
her job at Taesan Group.
Hey, stop it.
Thank you for today.
- Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow. - Okay.
- Have a good night. - Bye.
Honey, there you are.
Are you home now?
What are you doing out here?
What?
I heard you went out to take care of something,
so I wanted to wait out here.
You're being strange.
Honey.
We need to talk.
What's this?
It's for the living expenses.
Where did you get the money?
Don't tell me you invested in stocks.
What are you talking about?
I have no money to invest in stocks.
I got a bonus at work.
Why would they give you a bonus when you did nothing good?
Do you have to say things like that?
Hang on a second.
How much is this?
It's 2,000 dollars.
Use it to make up for living costs...
and get yourself some clothes with what's left.
I can't afford to buy new clothes.
Oh, right. I should get Ru Bi a new chair.
I was going to buy one, but I had to spend the money...
to pay for Ru Bi's all-care class.
Ru Bi will be excited.
Let's go.
Honey.
Hee Ju.
I swear I'm going to throw the sofa away.
Get up off the sofa now!
What are you doing?
Do you not know what I'm doing?
I'm going to throw this thing away...
so you can't lie down on it ever again!
My gosh.
- Gosh. - Get up already!
What do you think you're doing?
So do you want to go against me?
Fine. Come here.
Gosh, stop tickling me.
So get up now.
- My goodness. - Gosh.
- Mom, are you all right? - Oh, dear.
You darn brat. Do you want to kill me or what?
Get away from me. I want to lie back down.
So you have to tell me what you meant by that.
I don't have anything to tell you.
I'm just feeling depressed.
So why are you feeling depressed?
No reason.
Do I need a reason to be depressed?
People often feel gloomy at my age.
Gosh, this is killing me.
My goodness.
Oh, dear.
You're making me more depressed now.
My back hurts.
It's killing me.
(Indangsu)
- Mister. - All right.
Run.
(Indangsu)
- Let's go, Tae Hee. - Okay.
Yes, Mom. Okay.
I'm going home now. Okay.
Yes. I'm coming down.
All right.
Banz...
(Indangsu)
My Banz.
My Banz!
I'm sure I had it here!
My Banz!
What? Where's my Banz?
Darn it. My Banz!
My Banz!
All right. This is it.
This is Banz.
- My gosh. - How have you been, my baby?
Mister, this is so cool.
Everyone, be careful not to catch a cold!
It feels so cool. Keep running!
This feels so good! Yes!
Here we go!
(Taesan Group)
Yes.
I'm here to tell you something, Mr. Kang.
Mr. Kang, I'm Instructor Lee Hyo Sim.
Please let me know if you'll come to the gym tomorrow.
(At pedestrian signals)
What do you think you're doing?
Tae Min.
What's going on?
What's all this?
Gosh, no. Stop it.
You scumbag!
(Live Your Own Life)
Mr. Kang Tae Ho skipped his workout without notice.
Could something be up with him?
It belonged to my father.
It belonged to my father,
whom I didn't get to see even twice a year!
The most sparkling yet pathetic keepsake is me.
What an absolute jerk.
- What did you tell my mom? - What?
I know you said something to my mom again.
He looked at me as if he wanted to kill me.
I couldn't wrap my head around it.
It's now time...
to finally find a way to put Manager Kang in prison.
Well then Instructor Lee,
I wish you well.
