(Characters and names that appear in this drama are fictitious)
There isn’t a special reason why I wanted to see you two today.
I just wanted to have a meal together.
I’m sorry but I refuse to eat with Jung Bok-dong.
Do you know what he said to me a few days ago?
He said he would make Pegasus Market into a bomb and drop it on headquarters.
He claimed he would make it into a big pile of poop that’s difficult to remove
to put us in a tight spot.
Big pile of poop?
Is that true, Mr. Jung?
It seems like Mr. Kwon has a big misunderstanding.
What? A misunderstanding?
Sir, I’m doing something very important at Pegasus Market right now.
Something important?
I’m preparing for DM Group’s future.
Pegasus Market is unfit to be a part of DM Group in terms of size or profit.
Until now, the company failed to address the issue, thinking that a
neighborhood market won’t be much of a problem.
But before the problem becomes bigger, we need to address what needs to be addressed.
Those cancerous parts that are growing by taking advantage of our blind spot...
We need to eliminate them.
Oh In-bae! Hey, Oh In-bae!
I have neck disc issues!
Quiet!
Be quiet and follow me.
Mr. Kim, Mr. Jung.
Incompetent store manager, Moon Seok-goo,
whose salary is being wasted on him as he hides in the company’s blind spot.
For the company’s future, we must get rid of people like him as early as possible.
Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim! My salary…
Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim!
My salary was never wasted on me!
The only thing I did was work day and night to save the dying Pegasus Market!
Sir! Mr. Kwon Young-gu!
Mr. Young-gu!
Mr. Kwon, you know me!
Who is he?
Do I know you?
Young-gu! Young-gu of Young-gu and Ddaeng-chil!
You know me!
Hey!
Sir, please make a decision.
There’s no need to get blood on my hands just to get rid of an employee.
You take care of it.
Yes, sir.
Mr. Pielekku.
Cut off his head!
Pielekku! Stop!
Stop! Pielekku!
Stop!
What a nightmare!
Pegasus Market
Episode 3
What’s going?
Why did you want us to gather?
I asked you to gather because there’s an important announcement.
An employee from headquarters will start working here soon.
Why is an employee from headquarters coming here?
HQ probably wants to investigate the recent ineffective measures taken at our market.
Our market is seeing an increase in customers.
Why is headquarters sending someone to investigate us?
Are they going to increase our pay too?
Yes, people like you are the reason why they’re sending someone to audit us.
Anyways, don’t get scared and get worked up.
Just do as you always have.
What’s important is that headquarters is keeping an eye on our market.
Okay, let’s get to work.
Hey! Mister! Mister!
I told you that's not his name!
Il-Nam, what’s wrong?
I knew it. I thought things were going too well.
It’s over now.
What do you mean it’s over?
If they’re sending someone from headquarters,
it means they’re going to do a layoff.
Layoff?
It means someone from headquarters is coming to fire us.
Oh, then we’re all going to be fired?
(Mr. Moon Seok-goo)
The person you are calling is currently unavailable. Please leave a…
Why isn’t Mr. Jung coming?
I told him that someone from headquarters is coming.
Jeez, what’s going on?
Excuse me. Did you see Mr. Jung anywhere?
What in the world?
She’s the woman who fell at the bookstore.
Recharge is complete.
Are you going to let me fall on the floor today too?
Mr. Moon Seok-goo?
Yes, I’m the manager of Pegasus Market.
Nice to meet you.
My name’s Jo Mi-ran. I was sent from headquarters to work here starting today.
Oh, hello.
This is the fresh produce corner. This is the processed food corner.
Back there, we have the daily household items.
The supply storage room is in the back of the building.
Would you like to take a look at the Customer Satisfaction Center?
Yes, in time.
Hey, Mr. Moon!
Mr. Jung is here! Come over here!
Mr. Jung, what is all this?
Welcome, Mr. Moon.
Why are there used arcade games here?
I plan to make an arcade inside the market.
An arcade?
You already made it.
Well, if we make the prices cheap, then it may attract a few more customers.
There aren’t many arcades these days
so I think people will come from far away to play the games too.
What are you talking about?
I just always wanted to be an arcade owner so I bought them.
Let’s make all the games free
so that everybody can play them all day without worrying about the cost.
Or we can always have dimes at the entrance for free so they can use them.
We don’t use coins these days.
Free? Absolutely not!
The market needs all the money it can get
so if we put free dimes for people to use, they’ll steal them all.
That’s why.
You want them to steal them?
- No. - Then?
To play games.
Hello, my name’s Jo Mi-ran. I was assigned to work at Pegasus Market starting today!
Jo Mi-ran went to work at Pegasus Market starting today, right?
Yes, sir.
Did she send any reports?
It’s her first day so you should give her more time to get a grasp of the situation.
(Dispatch Order)
Ms. Jo.
Yes.
HQ's office management strategy division.
From what I know, your team project is still ongoing.
Yes, you remember.
I’m always aware of what’s generally going on in the company.
I’m honored that you still remember me
even though I’m one of the lowest ranking employees.
What do you mean the lowest ranking?
You were famous from the time you joined the company for being very good at your job.
Thank you.
- Kwon Young-gu sent you? - Yes.
Oh, damn.
So after taking a look around, did anything catch your eye?
Oh, I…That’s not what I meant.
Mr. Kwon did send me here but not for that intent.
That intent?
What intent?
Damn it, I’m in trouble.
His gaze…
Well...
It seems like he knew about everything from the start.
Why in the world did I get caught in between crossfire?
Fine, this leaves me only one choice.
Yes, you’re right.
You're right.
I’m a spy Mr. Kwon sent to spy on you.
To someone who’s aiming to become the next president like him, you’re an obstacle.
He wants to completely get rid of you while you’re down.
Okay, I understand.
Pardon?
I’ve worked in the company for a long time too.
There was a time when I was like you.
I’m sure a talented individual like you didn’t come to
a suburban market as a spy because you wanted to.
You came because your higher up ordered you to.
Don’t get hurt and just do as Kwon Young-gu says.
That’s the life of an employee.
You may go now.
Mr. Jung is as great as the rumors claimed.
Okay.
Okay, 40.
Oh, hello!
Oh, my!
Ex…excuse me.
Excuse me.
- Yes? - Where's the office?
I’ve tried looking for it but I can’t find it.
The office?
(Employee Office: Our family-like atmosphere market, Pegasus Market )
It's a little shabby.
That's the motto for our market.
Our family-like atmosphere market.
Mr. Moon’s desk is here.
Take a look around. I’m a little busy so please excuse me.
Oh, thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you! Good luck!
Thank you.
Pegasus Market employee recruitment.
It’s supposed to be a market with a family-like atmosphere but it’s not.
(Pegasus Market Arcade)
Oh, my!
You scared me.
Kiddo, what are you doing here?
You want me to eat this?
You want us to choose the desks we’ll be using?
Yes.
Since I’m only working here for a limited period of time as a dispatched employee,
the three of you should choose first because you’ll continue to work here.
But you’re higher in ranking than us
so you should choose first.
Don’t worry about that.
Once you choose your desks, I can just use whatever is remaining.
Don’t worry and just choose.
Then we’re not getting fired?
We can continue to work, right?
A desk!
Now that I have my own desk, it feels like I’ve become a real office worker.
Il-Nam.
What's wrong?
I was so sad when I got laid off.
I was sad that I didn't have a desk where I could sit and work.
It’s been so long...
...since I had my own desk.
It really feels like I have an everyday job now!
It’s the first time I have my own desk too.
I’ve never really been the breadwinner for my family.
But I even have my own desk at an office now.
It seems like...
...I've finally succeeded!
Stop crying.
You’re making me cry too.
It’s embarrassing!
(King vs. Mudangs: Special performance every Sunday at 2 p.m.)
(Employee Office: Our family-like atmosphere market, Pegasus Market )
I went nuts over Pump It Up.
I ended up staying up the night.
I should never step foot into Mr. Jung’s arcade again.
Are you going home now?
Yes.
I'm going home too.
See you tomorrow.
Oh, I think our books got switched at the bookstore.
Would you bring my book tomorrow?
Yes. How are you, Mr. Kwon?
I’m not doing well.
I told you to make timely reports.
Why haven’t you reported to me?
That’s not it.
I went crazy over Pump It up today so…
So anything special going on with Jung Bok-dong?
Today,
Mr. Jung Bok-dong...
...came to work and went to the restroom 5 times.
I timed him and for his first restroom break,
he went in at 11:53 a.m. and came out at 12:07 p.m.
Then he went in at 14:47 and came out at 15:11.
Mr. Moon.
Stop telling me every single detail.
Just get to the point, just the main points.
Tell me who Jung Bok-dong secretly talked to in the restroom.
Tell me the main points in HQ style.
So my point is...
I think Mr. Jung had a stomachache
I don’t know if this is temporary or something that requires long-term treatment.
I’ll double check with the doctor to find out about that.
I’m hanging up.
H…Hello?
Mr. Kwon! Mr. Young-gu!
Mr. Kwon already has a spy at Pegasus Market.
You two should work together and do a good job.
There’s a spy there?
His name is Moon Seok-goo, the manager of Pegasus Market.
He realized what would benefit him and he joined Mr. Kwon's side.
(Pegasus Market)
Recharge is complete.
Just getting to work is...
(Pegasus Market)
Hey, kid!
Miss customer.
What are you doing here?
Hey, kid!
Miss customer.
What are you doing here?
Mr. Oh, what’s wrong with you?
Who’s this kid?
I mean, why are you crying so early in the morning?
Don’t you know that if someone cries, we're doomed to have poor sales the whole day?
Listen to her story...
Mr. Moon, what’s going on?
Why are you crying?
Mr. Jung...
She...
Sir, are you done owner here?
Please...
...give my dad a job.
Give your dad a job?
Kid.
What are you talking about?
My dad has to get a job.
I heard that before I was even born,
my dad was getting ready for an exam called the bar exam.
He passed the first round but he didn’t pass the second round.
And that continued.
Over and over.
And when I was in first grade, my dad gave up on studying.
They got rid of the exam my dad had studied for.
They said they got rid of it because of people who kept failing it like my dad.
He tried to get a job so he wrote his resume and he took tests here and there.
But he couldn’t get a job.
And then last year…
Mom...
Where are you going?
Mi-joo.
Tell your dad to never look for me again
I’m sorry, Mi-joo.
After my mom left,
my dad tried even harder to get a job.
But a week ago, there was a call early in the morning.
They said my dad died in a car accident.
I heard the adults talking at the funeral.
The poor guy!
He died after spending his whole time studying for that bar exam or something!
He died before he got a job. He must’ve so many regrets!
Goodness, I know, right?
He became an unemployed ghost
I read a book that...
when a single lady dies before she gets married,
she becomes resentful so she can’t go to heaven and she starts torturing people
That’s why people hate and fear those ghosts.
I’m worried that people...
...will scold my dad...
...and be afraid of him because he’s an unemployed ghost.
I want my dad to go to heaven and be happy.
Please give my dad a job.
This is the resume my dad wrote.
What grade are you in?
Third grade.
Who are you living with right now?
I live at the orphanage.
Okay.
I understand.
Thank you for the resume.
Your dad...
...is now an employee of our market.
Really?
Does that mean my dad is employed?
Yes, and...
You're hired too.
Starting today, come here to work after school.
Thank you.
How are you?
(Bookstore)
Mr. Jung.
What happened here?
What…What is this?
What do you mean? It’s a bookstore.
I know. This is so random. Why…?
And this uniform.
It looks good.
Starting today, your job is to sit there, do your homework, and read the books.
Books?
You sell the books though. Is it okay for me to read them?
Yes.
Read any book you want.
Mr. Moon, which university did you graduate from?
I graduated from Eomsuk University.
Eomsuk University?
Then starting today, I want you to tutor her.
One hour per day.
Pardon?
Make sure you check when Ms. Ko Mi-joo comes to work and leaves work.
Don’t forget to properly pay her for her hours.
Oh, don’t forget to pay Mi-joo’s father’s wage too.
Make sure you arrange for him to work a 8 hour shift.
Mr. Jung!
But Mi-joo’s father is…
Thank you for your hard work.
Mr. Jung! Mr. Jung!
Mr. Jung.
Why did you suddenly make a bookstore? I...
(Article 64, paragraph 1 of the Labor Standards Act)
(Those under the age of 15 may not be hired as workers)
(Article 110 of the Labor Standards Act)
(Whoever violates the above provision will be sentenced to...)
(...to a maximum of 2 years in prison or subject to a maximum of $20,000 fine)
Seok-goo.
What are you doing here?
I thought you would like iced Americano.
Pardon?
It’s cold like the cold, city woman you…
No, never mind.
It’s nothing.
I don’t know why I keep saying such nonsense.
May I ask you something?
How do you know Mr. Kwon Young-gu?
He came to see me out of the blue.
He said as long as I report to him about Mr. Jung and I do as he says,
he’ll get me transferred to headquarters.
Is it okay for you to tell me those things?
Is it something I shouldn’t have told you?
Well...
We’re both just employees so we have to do what we’re told by the higher ups.
We should just follow orders.
But you know what?
Although Mr. Jung has been demoted to work here,
he’s still a strong candidate for the DM Group president position.
Mr. Jung’s nickname is DM Group Donggyo-dong Auto cashback.
He’s like a piece of gum that you can’t spit out no matter how much you chew on him.
He’s a phoenix that never dies no matter how much you try to kill him.
Choose wisely.
Then what about Mr. Kwon Young-gu?
What’s his nickname?
Mr. Kwon doesn’t have any special nickname.
He’s just Young-gu as in the fictional character, Young-gu.
Why do my ears suddenly tickle so much?
Yes, Mr. Kwon.
Mr. Park, any word from Jo Mi-ran?
She hasn’t contacted us yet.
She hasn’t?
Why are my ears so itchy though?
Pardon? Shall I get a doctor?
No, no.
It’s okay.
Something’s wrong.
I have a bad feeling about that damn market.
Even a normal person becomes weird when he goes there.
There it goes again!
(Bookstore)
Where’s the rolling pin?
Rolling pins are over there.
Where is it?
Pegasus Market has practically everything.
Math is easy once you know the formulas.
Here, look.
The bookstore’s over there.
Oh, my!
Is that you, Mi-joo?
Hello.
What are you doing here?
Who’s the man next to you?
Him? He’s the market manager.
He’s tutoring me.
Sir, how do you know Mi-joo?
Why are you tutoring her?
Well…
My dad got a job here.
I got a job here too so he’s tutoring me.
A job? But your father is…
Well, let me explain.
Mr. Jung told me that I could come study here after school.
Mr. Moon here graduated from Eomsuk University
so he agreed to tutor me one hour every day.
Oh, my!
You’re so young and kind, Mr. Moon!
Plus, you’re a Eomsuk University graduate.
She's right. You’re very kind.
Pegasus Market is doing what the government should be doing.
No, our market is just trying to help the local community.
This is nothing.
You’re so eloquent too.
Oh, my! What was I thinking?
I came here to buy a workbook for my child.
I wonder which one I should get.
Ma’am, the book next to that is better.
It explains the material very well
so it’s very helpful when you’re studying by yourself.
Thank you, Mi-joo.
Let me add this too.
Mr. Moon, I helped sell over 10 books today too.
I did well, right?
Yes.
10 books?
I’m sure I can sell 200 books too.
Mr. Jung!
I learned from you again today.
You have the compassion and strength as a leader of the company should.
You decided to take care of the most vulnerable of our society,
a child without a guardian.
I learned firsthand that this is business ethics.
This is social responsibility and social contribution.
I learned it firsthand.
To be honest.
I didn’t understand the things you were doing at first.
But with time, I reflect and become sorry.
Just today alone, the bookstore sale is quite substantial.
Did you predict this too?
The sale is substantial…?
Did Mi-joo sell books?
Yes, it’s very shocking.
I’m amazed by your foresight, sir.
Since we already set it up,
I want you to be responsible for it and take good care of it.
Don’t get too overzealous and put so much effort into it.
Yes, sir.
I just want you to keep in mind.
Don’t be stingy with the budget.
I’ll keep that in mind too.
I won’t try too hard and I won’t be stingy with the budg…
Mr. Jung, what do you mean?
Mr. Jung?
Mom.
There’s a boy named Min-woong in my class.
It’s annoying but I think he thinks of me as his rival.
Rival?
How ridiculous! He’s not good enough to be my son’s rival.
Anyways, he suddenly asked me what Dad does.
And?
When I told him he’s a DM Group director, he suddenly groveling up to me.
Are you okay?
I’m okay.
Eat slowly.
Good, you need to teach kids like him a lesson.
It seems like after Mr. Jung was transferred to Pegasus Market,
Mr. Kwon is being careful.
The money flow has become noticeably slower.
How is Gab doing?
He’s just watching the situation.
I’m sorry but may I ask you a question, sir?
You could’ve taken care of things if you had quietly closed down Pegasus Market.
So why are you doing this?
Mr. Kim.
Yes?
Pegasus Market was something my late son started.
Ever since he was young, he loves supermarkets.
He would say, “Father, when I grow up, I want to be a supermarket owner.”
And his eyes would be glued to a snack he would want.
He wouldn’t even beg me to buy it and he would just my hand.
The only family I have left is my grandson.
But with the business that his father started, that fool is...
He still is so immature.

Why is there some missing?
Hello!
Ms. Jo!
Yes?
You dropped this.
But this says your name is Anna Cho.
It’s nothing.
I used this business card when I worked at the international cooperation division.
At HQ, when we deal with international clients,
employees are required to use foreign names.
- Yes. - Thank you.
Yes.
At HQ, when we deal with international clients.
Employees are required to use foreign names.
What is it this time?
I'm busy! Why did you call us here?
Mr. Moon.
Customers will be coming soon.
Make it short!
The reason why I asked you to gather here today is...
...to strengthen our customer service skills.
So we'll have everybody where name tags on your chests.
You wanted us to come because of that?
You just want us to write our names and put them on our chests.
No.
It's not just a name tag.
This.
I plan to have you all wear name tags with foreign names on them.
So I want each of you to come up with an foreign name for yourself by tomorrow.
I don't know English.
"Peter?"
Why would we use those name tags when we have our own names?
Haven't you ever been to a family restaurant or a foreign brand?
Everything's global these days so everybody has foreign names.
From now on, let's raise our standards by using foreign names.
If you don't come up with an foreign name by tomorrow,
then it will count against you in your evaluation.
Ready!
Mr. Choi.
Let me see your name tag.
Sure.
Here.
Quong Thai Pat.
Are you kidding me?
That's not it.
It's the name of a pen pal from long time ago.
When you asked us to come up with foreign names, I thought of his name.
It's been a while since I lost contact with him.
I'm curious how he's doing now.
Mr. Jo! Let me look at your name tag! Hurry!
I have my name tag on.
(Zarban IV)
When you look at foreign noble families, they always have a number after the name.
So I always wanted to do it too.
You may become a ruler with flattery
but only your actions remain in history!
Who in the world comes up with names like this?
You have cool names like Chris Evans or Brad Pitt!
Why would you choose those names? Are you kidding me?
Ms. Jo!
Would you come here for a second?
I want you to objectively look at these names and tell me what...
(The soul of a wolf that rose with its fists clenched)

Peter?
It seemed like everybody was coming up with English names
so I wanted to make it more interesting and I came up with a Native American name.
What do you think? It's cool, right?
I totally like it!
You sound just like him!

(Abdul Hasan)
Mr. Jung!
You proposed a pretty good idea.
Foreign names.
What's wrong with you too?
What do you mean?
You know this isn't right.
When I said foreign names, I meant American names or European names!
I don't think it's right to come up with names like this as if it's a joke
Mr. Moon.
That's bias.
We live in a global era. We should put aside our bias.
We need to open our eyes to a bigger world.
We need to put away our secularist brains that have been brainwashed.
Let's achieve true internationalization.
Abdul Hasan.
Are you the president here?
May peace be with you.
I'm the president, Abdul Hasan.
I can't believe I met you here. It must've been the gods' will.
Hasan, I'm an executive of the Arab state-owned corporation, Al Saud Saladin.
I see.
What brings a great individual like you come to our market?
I actually came in search of partners in Korea
to sell halal food in Korea.
I came to buy milk here.
What a coincidence!
Hasan, I want to work with you.
I will invest $10 million dollars in Pegasus Market.
I will invest $10 million dollars! What do you think?
Wait, hold on.
We're just a small neighborhood market.
What do you mean $10 million dollars?
The market size doesn't matter.
I'll trust you and invest!
My original name is Jung Bok-dong.
Hasan is just a temporary name.
How do I explain this?
I trust you!
- Let's work together! - Wait, wait!
- Hasan! - Let me think!
I'm not Hasan. It's...

Mr. Kwon!
Who is he?
Why is he sitting here? With his feet on the table?
Mr. Moon.
Are you that clueless?
Do you know who he is?
Who... is he?
Did you ask me who I am?
That's a good question.
My name's Gab.
Gab.
Mr. Kwon.
Vice President, Mr. Jo Gab.
What brings the two of you here?
Goodness, Mr. Jung.
It's been a while.
How have you been?
Put your feet down.
I said get your smelly feet off of the desk!
Pegasus Market
Displaying such expensive acorn jello in our market is bad for us!
It seems like he's determined to expand the market business.
Plan to blow up Pegasus Market because the problem becomes evident.
I think we should push the arcade more.
How long do you plan on being incompetent?
Mr. Jung is bringing a suspicious looking object to the kids!
- What is that? - He looks like he's going to beat them up!
- You can't! - I'll get revenge!
I'll never forget what happened today!
Everybody has a dirty secret when you look for it.
They say they're coming to investigate or something!
Hello, sir!
It's truly a honor!
We have trouble!
