Hey, you're so pretty.
Come on. Show me your face.
What was that?
Who are you, you punk?
I'm her boyfriend, you jerk.
Young Yi, are you okay?
Baby, what took you so long?
I'm sorry, baby.
You know what, baby? These men...
What? Is he really your boyfriend?
Yes, he's my boyfriend. Isn't he handsome?
And this might be TMI, but he's very good at fighting.
Right, baby?
Listen, you two.
There's a CCTV camera recording outside of the store.
You throwing cigarette butts on the ground...
and sexually harassing a female part-timer were filmed.
So? Do you want me to call the police?
Should I call the police?
That's a good idea. Let's all go to the police station.
Right, baby?
We're very sorry, miss.
- Let's get going. - Okay.
We're not bad people. We're reliable people.
I'm sorry about that.
Does what happened earlier happen often?
Once in a while.
Mr. 100 Dollars, earlier...
I mean, Mr. Jang, you surprised me earlier.
To be honest, our acting was good enough to be invited...
to the Cannes Film Festival, don't you think?
How can you laugh right now?
You were in danger, Ms. Lee.
(Temporary price tag)
I've experienced many things like this in the past three years.
Have a look.
I wrote down my own ways of dealing with such situations.
I thought I should do something.
I was about to beat them up...
when you showed up.
It'd be great if there's a training manual...
for female employees on dealing with such situations.
Honestly, isn't it essential in this world we live in?
A training session would be nice too.
Have you ever suggested your idea to the manager or the head office?
Come on.
They would never listen to a mere part-timer.
At least, I used to be a taekwondo athlete,
so I'd be able to fight if things get out of control.
But most female employees have no choice but to put up with it.
You used to be a taekwondo athlete? For real?
Yes.
I got injured in a competition...
and had to quit.
But I was once called a rising star.
- That's a shame. - What do you mean?
That I missed my chance...
to see your double side kick with my own eyes.
Gosh. What a shame.
I'm super sad that I missed that chance.
Hey, saying "super" is my thing.
Hello.
Welcome to TS Convenience Store.
Baby Chick, you brat.
My, you startled me.
Sir, why didn't you come inside...
Have you been here waiting for me?
Of course. Who else would I have been waiting for?
A duckling?
What happened yesterday?
Other people are dying to get a job at a large company.
That was such a lame excuse.
I suddenly felt daunted. I had no choice.
Besides, why didn't you tell me it was a job at our head office?
I didn't think it was necessary since you'd know eventually.
That's why I was even more taken aback.
You've never been to the office of such a large company, right?
Everyone there was wearing a suit...
and walking busily across the lobby.
They all looked so charismatic that I was intimidated...
A girl like me would never get a job at that company anyway.
"A girl like you?"
So you think that your competency and potential...
are worth the hourly pay at this convenience store.
Well, that's not a bad thing, I guess.
But you see, Baby Chick...
When I was your age,
I bought fruits in Cheongnyangni...
and sold them on the streets...
to make a living.
One day, I started thinking that I wanted...
to buy a store that's as big as this convenience store...
and start my own business.
A roof and walls to protect me...
from the rain or the wind.
What happened? Did you buy a store?
I won't tell you because you disappointed me.
What I'm trying to say is that there will be a moment...
where you want...
to take just one step further.
When that moment comes,
and you get such an opportunity once again,
then...
never give up.
Sir...
You don't get an opportunity that easily whenever you need it.
I'm off, you fool.
You're right. I'm a fool.
Go home safely, sir.
She said goodbye politely even when I called her a fool.
It tickles.
Lift me up. No, put me down.
No, lift me up.
At your service, little lady.
How about I spin you sideways this time?
Mi Ri Nae, come down now.
You might feel dizzy.
Mi Ri Nae, your mom is back.
Goodness, your shoes fell off.
Mom, Uncle Do Sik lifted me up like I was flying.
It's so good that he's back home.
Let's go in, Mi Ri Nae.
Sister-in-law.
If that's expired food, can I have it?
I'll have it for breakfast.
It's good because we can save rice.
Here. Eat it if you want.
Thank you.
Mom, did you have a fight with Uncle Do Sik?
No. Why?
You kept glaring at him like this.
Oh, did I?
I really like Uncle Do Sik.
Daughter.
What do you like so much about him?
I'm very curious about it.
Really? Then come closer, Mom.
There's nothing much for Mom to have on the table.
Dad.
Quit complaining about the food or cook by yourself.
Do you know how tired I am every day both physically and mentally?
Do Young.
There isn't much food to enjoy, but I hope you like it.
Now that Do Sik is back home, it reminds me of old memories.
Everything tastes so sweet.
My, look at this.
It looks savory.
You and your petty tricks.
Did you think you could hide it by flipping it over?
I did it so that she could have the part that wasn't burnt.
Mother, I'm going out today to meet my friends.
- Again? - My friends from school.
Times have changed.
You see, Mom,
she needs to go out on a regular basis...
It's not what I think. The doctor told me that.
That's enough. Say no more.
- Yes, Mom. - Young Yi.
I'm good at making bean sprout soup now, right?
Ha Ram teased me for not having a dad at the playground.
Then Uncle Do Sik came and knuckled Ha Ram on the head.
Daughter, violence is bad.
I know that. But Uncle Do Sik said he couldn't hold back.
And... What else...
He gave me a piggyback ride.
Also...
He said he'll become successful and be a strong dad to me.
Didn't he say "a reliable dad?"
Right, "a reliable dad." He said that an uncle is the same as a dad.
Is that true?
Young Yi.
What are you pondering on?
Sorry? Oh, it's nothing, Do Young.
(Pureun Bank)
(One Mind Sunshine Loan)
Please wait here.
Yes. Thank you.
Mr. Kim, I beg you. Please help me out.
If I don't get a loan this time,
all my 80 employees will lose their jobs.
(One Mind Sunshine Loan)
(Pureun Bank)
This is Manager Kim Chang Yi of the Yeouido branch. Yes.
Mr. Yoon explained to me why the loan application...
of the online store Miseoni had been declined.
But I believe you shouldn't have made the decision...
only based on the financial numbers without considering their situation.
Of course, the growth chart is important.
Even so, we've been doing business with this company for many years.
If you don't consider its future growth value...
just because of a few years of negative growth,
who will help Pureun Bank...
fill our vault?
Will the loan review team do that?
Let me ask you one more thing.
CEO Han Kang Won of this company...
was recently chosen as 1 of the top 20 Asian designers.
Did you even know that when you made your decision?
I'll give you five minutes.
Mr. Kim.
Be patient.
Yes! Thank you. I'm so grateful to you, Mr. Kim.
I'm saved. You're a lifesaver. Thank you.
My goodness.
He helped him get...
a five million dollar loan just like that?
It's not like I've done something wrong. I should relax.
I have seniority over him in our family.
(Pureun Bank)
- Please drink your tea. - Okay.
What brings you here?
Why else would I have come to the bank?
Just like the person who was in here before me,
I'm here to borrow money.
Then let's leave. I'll introduce you to someone who can help you.
No.
I want you to help me.
How much do you need?
- I need 100,000 dollars. - Why do you need that much money?
Is something going on with your family?
That's none of your business.
Then I can't help you get a loan.
- Why? - Eun Sook.
I work in finance.
When you apply for a loan,
you should clarify the purpose of your loan...
and meet the requirements for a loan.
For example, collateral.
Of course. I know what that means.
Do you have any assets to use as security?
Chang Yi.
When Do Jin passed away,
your brother and I found his death suspicious.
So we searched everywhere to find a witness...
traveling across the country without even working.
Your brother ended up closing his interior design business.
We couldn't find a reason to stay alive.
Do you remember what you said to me?
You said, "I'm sorry that I left Mom with you guys..."
"and that while you take care of all the family affairs,"
"I only show up once in a while..."
"and contribute to the expenses without doing anything else."
"As your brother-in-law,"
"I promise you that I will repay you no matter what..."
"in the future."
Don't you remember?
Please continue.
"I can't help you right now..."
"because I need to support Hae Mi."
I clearly remember you saying that.
You graduated from the best university in Korea...
and got a doctorate degree in economics.
Since you're smart enough to do all that,
I'm sure you can't say you don't remember saying it.
- I remember that. - The promise...
that you made to me back then...
That's my collateral.
I want you to keep that promise now.
I'll take that as collateral.
What do you mean by that?
For now, please go home and wait.
I should wait?
We have to go through a review process to lend money.
And of course,
a loan application can be approved and declined.
Is it for Do Sik?
If it's not for my child,
why else would I have swallowed my pride and stepped up?
(Pureun Bank)
Right.
Even though he's my brother-in-law,
he's so cool-headed and determined.
He managed to get admitted to an elite university,
became successful,
and raked in money.
I respect that. Yes, I do.
I do respect that.
(Wire transfer from Kim Chang Yi, 100,000 dollars)
Chang Yi, thank you so much.
It's all good now. We'll be fine.
I'll be all right. I've been saved.
Good morning, Grandpa.
Good morning.
I hope I didn't wake you up too early.
I slept long enough.
You said you had something to tell me.
Yes.
About the work at the convenience store.
Stop working there after today.
Prepare to start working at the head office.
Today is my last day?
You've done well enough.
You passed.
I said you passed,
but you look like you failed.
Are you half asleep?
No.
Of course, I'm glad I passed.
Yes, he's my boyfriend. Isn't he handsome?
And this might be TMI, but he's very good at fighting.
Right, baby?
So today is my last day at the store?
I'll accept your apology.
But treating me to a meal once won't do this time.
Take me to the movies and treat me to a meal three times.
Okay. Thank you.
(Okay. Thank you.)
Mr. Heo.
Why hasn't the survey among housewives...
on the new lunchbox ideas completed yet?
Oh, right. I'll finish it as soon as possible.
- Ms. Im. - Yes, Ms. Kim.
You did a good job summarizing the survey results.
- Yes, I think so too. - Sorry?
I'm quite satisfied with that report.
Thank you, Ms. Kim.
What? That's outrageous.
What is Father thinking?
I mean, why would he appoint Kyung Jun as Se Jun's subordinate?
Se Jun will be so uncomfortable.
Why are you all quiet? Say something.
I'll ask him when I go home.
Don't get worked up.
Se Jun, what do you think?
If that's what Grandpa wants,
- I should follow his decision. - Don't be ridiculous.
Honey, make sure...
to convince Father to send Kyung Jun to another team.
I don't think this is going to work.
What if he told me to assign Se Jun to another team?
You know he would do more than that.
He can't do that. Se Jun has been working in the team all this time.
The food product development team is the core team of the company.
Father should keep things fair.
Grandmother.
I'm going to the market. Do you need anything?
Why don't you get some more sleep?
What are you going to buy there?
A new pair of shoes for Mi Ri Nae.
She's outgrown her shoes already.
- I see. - I'll be back shortly.
Okay. Go on.
Now, I understand why Ms. Buyeo said it all the time.
"Bok Hee, it'd be better if she whines and grumbles."
"Then I would just spank her to quiet her."
"Then I wouldn't feel this bad..."
"for that poor little thing who lost her parents."
It feels like yesterday. Goodness.
Ma'am, can you give me a one-dollar discount for this pair?
Of course. I'll give you a two-dollar discount.
Really?
Oh, boy. I wonder when my daughter will be as mature as yours.
I mean, they're the same age.
They're just kids. They don't need to mature yet.
- Just a second. - Okay.
Oh, my. Thank you.
- Thank you. - See you later.
Have a good day.
Mom!
My dear daughter, look at this.
Ta-da. What do you think?
They're so pretty.
Didn't you buy a pair for yourself?
I don't need new shoes.
My shoes are still good enough to wear.
Can't you wear pretty shoes as other kids' mothers do?
Mi Ri Nae, do you want to see me wearing dress shoes?
Yes, I do. Like those with an office job,
you should wear shiny, pretty shoes.
Okay?
Let's go home.
My gosh. How many pairs does she have?
Look at these. They're from M brand.
And J brand.
I can't believe her. Why did she buy so many shoes?
Gosh.
Sort these shoes by season first.
- Put those boots in a big box. - Okay.
Gosh. I should organize them before Chang Yi comes back.
Or else, he'll throw a fit.
I'll teach that wench a lesson.
- Hey. - Hi, Mom. I'm busy. Keep it short.
Why did you buy so many shoes?
Oh, my shoes?
You can just throw out the ones that seem old.
You went shopping instead of studying in the US, didn't you?
I'm just like you, you know.
I should get back to work. Bye, Mom.
I can't believe her.
Just throw out the ones with worn out soles.
Yes, ma'am.
Ms. Seo, how much are shoes like these worth?
Well, around 500 or 600 dollars?
That pair should be worth more than 1,000 dollars.
She has a lot of shoes that are more expensive than these.
My goodness.
I never knew that Baby Chick...
would put me in such a difficult position.
Oh, I have an idea.
This was your last shift?
Yes, it happened that way.
Well, you did learn everything you need to know.
You're smart and learn fast.
I'm sure you'll do well at the store you'll work at.
I'm a good judge of character.
I owe it all to you. You taught me well.
That's partly true.
Oh, right. Perfect timing. I'll be right back.
- Here. - What is this?
It's nothing great. I bought them for you at the market.
I didn't know it would be a farewell gift though.
Wear them at the store you'll transfer to.
These types of shoes are most comfortable...
when you work while standing for a long time.
You bought these for me?
I mean, I'm comfortable working in these shoes.
But all other people wear them when working at a convenience store.
Besides, your sneakers...
look too expensive when I don't even know much about luxury shoes.
Thank you.
Actually, I have something for you too.
What's this?
Open it at home.
But this paper bag is from a department store...
Can I accept this?
I gave you a gift wrapped in a black plastic bag.
Black is my favorite color.
It soothes my mind.
Is that so?
Ms. Lee.
I'm being generous...
because I'm grateful...
that you prepared a farewell gift for me.
But I know how precious it is to you.
I'm thankful. Consider it accepted.
Everything written here is also in my head.
And it will be helpful for you...
while working at the new store.
Take it before I change my mind.
I'm giving you this...
so that you won't have to call or text me...
whenever you face a difficulty.
So I want you to treasure it.
I have nothing more to teach you now.
(TS Convenience Store, Work Log)
Ms. Lee.
Take care.
I will.
You too, Mr. 100 Dollars.
Take care.
Stay healthy both physically and mentally.
You're still calling me "Mr. 100 Dollars."
My gosh.
How did he figure out my size?
Young Yi, I was going to clean this room when you woke up.
It's okay. The room is so dusty.
It's squeaky clean.
Give me that and go to sleep. Sleep well.
They're cute.
(Convenience Store)
I don't see him today.
Oh, him? He quit.
I see.
Oh, right. I have something for you.
- What is this? - I heard it's for the part-timers.
(TS Retail Internship Recruitment)
"We are looking for hidden masters."
"Minimum one year of work experience is required."
"Education level,"
"age, and gender don't matter."
"Marriage experience doesn't matter."
They don't care about any of those?
Gosh. Baby Chick, don't you ever sleep?
Right. I forgot. You don't.
Sir, you said to me,
"There will be a moment when you want to take one step further."
"If you have an opportunity again,"
"never give up."
I guess you're not a complete fool.
So what? What are you trying to say?
I've decided to go...
to TS Retail.
Sir. Hello?
I won't run away this time.
Never.
