My gosh.
Do you guys know each other?
No, not at all.
That's right. I must've mistaken him for someone else.
I've never met him before.
In any case, Young Yi.
I need you to train him starting today.
You want me to train him? Why?
You know the ins and outs of everything here. That's why.
- Boss. - Yes?
Can we talk in private?
What? Okay.
Give us a moment, please.
(Convenience Store)
Who is he?
We don't need to hire anyone at the moment.
Who is he? And why do I have to train him?
The thing is,
an acquaintance of mine is opening a new convenience store,
and he'll work there.
They practically begged me, so I couldn't say no.
We receive a ton of merchandise at night.
I have to clean and do inventory checks too.
Besides, it's not like we barely get any customers.
You know I struggle to even go to the restroom during my shifts.
- I can't do it. - Young Yi, please.
You can train him yourself during the day.
My goodness.
I'll give you a good bonus.
Promise?
Yes.
Then since it seems so urgent...
I'll do my best to train him well.
I'm counting on you!
A 100-dollar bonus is huge.
Hey, Mr. 100 Dollars...
Excuse me.
Hey.
Come here.
Why are you giving me that look?
Mr. 100 Dollars, didn't you say you hoped not to see me again?
First off, my name isn't 100 Dollars.
I'm Jang Kyung Jun.
(Lee Young Yi)
I'm Lee Young Yi.
I should tell you my name too, so...
That day,
you were driving an expensive car and wearing designer clothes.
You looked down on me and stomped all over my pride.
Who are you, really?
You didn't seem like the type that would need...
to work night shifts for 13.74 dollars an hour.
Hey, when did I...
I mean, Ms. Lee Young Yi. When did I stomp all over your pride?
Don't you remember?
When we met for the first time in the restroom,
you looked me up and down...
and said I didn't look like I could afford to compensate you.
You said that!
We'll talk later.
Hello.
Darn, why did I run into her here of all places?
Please scan the next barcode.
Your total comes to 28.42 dollars.
Great, the payment went through.
Thank you. See you again!
See you.
Could you show me how to use this thing first?
Your total is 18.40 dollars.
Oh, that's mine.
- Sorry? - My gosh, I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry.
What's in this thing?
(Convenience Store)
- Here you go. - Great, thank you.
Let me...
Ms. Lee.
Didn't your manager tell you to train me?
I've just been following you around for the past nine hours.
- So? - You need to train me.
Isn't there a training manual?
A training manual?
Are you saying you'll learn from a book?
You're not training me on anything.
That's why I'm asking for it.
You've never worked part-time before, right?
What makes you say that?
You're asking for a training manual on your first day.
This is physical labor.
Who reads a manual to learn how to do it?
You are a first-timer.
We'll be done in an hour,
so just keep watching what I do.
Don't act up and cause trouble.
"Act up?"
Mr. Jang Kyung Jun.
I've been working the night shifts here for the past three years.
How many people do you think I've trained over the years?
More than half of them didn't show up...
or even call the next day after seeing what I do here.
Why? Because they realized that it was a really tough job.
I have to save my energy and time,
so just keep watching what I do until you leave today. Okay?
You probably won't show up tomorrow anyway.
Why aren't you eating?
Because it's about to expire?
No, it's not that.
How do I open this thing?
- What? - I mean...
I do see the instructions here,
but I don't get it.
First, peel this off.
- Then do this. - I see.
- Like this. - Awesome.
Gosh, it's looking dark.
It's bright outside.
It's not that. You don't even know how to open this gimbap.
How am I going to train you?
My future is so dark.
Who are you, really?
You told me nothing about yourself.
Kyung Jun, I'm very proud of you for wanting to start...
at the store level.
Don't tell anyone that...
you're the eldest grandson of the company founder.
That way, you can really learn the job.
Mr. Jang Kyung Jun?
Right.
Well...
About the car and the clothes, I had to borrow them for something.
To tell you the truth, I took out a huge student loan,
and my family is in debt too.
So I figured I should work part-time until I find a real job.
That's why I'm here.
My gosh.
You made the right decision.
You can work hard...
and pay off your debt. You can do it.
Okay, I can do it.
(Convenience Store)
You must be tired.
I didn't even do anything.
You followed me around all night.
The first day is always very stressful.
You were like that too?
Of course.
Everybody has to learn for the first time.
Did you think I started working here the moment I was born?
No, that's not what I meant.
You're just so good at it.
This is a tough job for men too.
It's physically taxing.
But once you get used to it, it's not so bad.
Anyway, I'm going this way.
Mr. 100 Dollars... I mean, Mr. Jang. Where do you live?
Oh, I'm...
I'm going to take the bus across the street.
I see. Get home safely.
I have to go to work.
Work?
- Mother. - Yes.
Happy birthday.
Stay healthy and live long.
All right. Applause!
Happy birthday!
- Thanks. - Happy birthday, Grandma!
Is it Great-grandma's b-day today?
Yes, but say "birthday" instead of "b-day."
Happy birthday, Great-grandma. Stay healthy and live long.
Okay, my sweet pumpkin. Thank you.
Let's see.
It's good. Let's eat.
- Okay. - Let's eat.
- Okay. - Let's eat!
Hello?
Yes! Is it you, Chang Yi?
Happy birthday, Mother.
Did you have some seaweed soup?
I was just about to have some.
What about you, son? Did you have breakfast?
Yes. Hwa Kyung and I will stop by to see you in the evening.
But you're busy.
Do you have time to stop by?
Right, okay.
Thanks for calling, son. It's nice to hear your voice.
All right. Have a good day at work.
Chang Yi will come by in the evening, right?
Yes. Hey, Eun Sook.
Yes.
Make some braised short ribs for dinner today.
Japchae and skewers too.
Buy some fruits and make fruit salad too.
But it's your birthday, Mother.
Why do I have to make Chang Yi's favorite dishes every year...
- Hey. - What?
I bought all the groceries yesterday, Mother.
Mom, did you pack my meal tray?
Yes.
I washed your spoon and chopsticks and packed them with it, sweetie.
Can you not read the room?
- What's wrong, Mother? - I brought it up,
hoping to make fewer dishes.
But you were like, "I already bought all the groceries, Mother."
Oh, that.
This is why they say good teamwork is so important.
Whatever. You do all the work!
Let's go, Mi Ri Nae.
Let's go.
(Hwa Kyung)
Hi, Hwa Kyung.
I haven't heard from you in so long.
Is everything well with you?
As they say, no news is good news.
You know that it's Mother's birthday today, right?
Yes. Chang Yi called her earlier.
I know Chang Yi called.
Starting this year, you should come early...
and help us prepare dinner.
But you have Young Yi.
So you won't help us?
I'm not used to doing that kind of work, so I'll be of no help.
I'll give Young Yi some money to thank her for doing all the work.
Bye!
Wait, Hwa Kyung. Hey!
This rude brat.
- Was that Eun Sook? - Yes.
She told me to come early and cook.
You should go and at least pretend to be helping.
Go alone.
Hae Mi is arriving today. Have you forgotten?
You can tell Hae Mi to meet us there.
It's not like the US is right next to Korea.
She'll be so jet-lagged. Don't you care about your daughter?
Then Hae Mi can rest at home.
But you have to come even if you'll be late.
What?
My gosh.
Missus, can you make me a cup of coffee?
So? How was your first day? What did you learn?
I learned how to open the triangle gimbap.
- Have some tea, sir. - Thank you.
Thank you.
You learned the very basics.
I can open it with my eyes closed.
Ms. An.
What are Father and Kyung Jun talking about?
It must be something important.
Gosh, this is so frustrating.
You can tell me that much.
She's so stiff.
What on earth are they talking about...
that they're having a private 1-on-1 in the room...
when they could talk in the living room?
So?
Was the part-timer nice to you?
She was being a little territorial.
Right, of course.
Kyung Jun.
Yes.
Even in that small convenience store,
employees get territorial,
so what would it be like at the head office?
You must prepare yourself mentally.
Okay.
The convenience store where Kyung Jun works now.
Do you know the history behind that location?
Isn't it run by a retired board member who's close to Grandpa?
Your grandfather...
saved the money he earned...
by selling fruit he bought from Cheongnyangni.
Then he opened TS Store,
his first brick-and-mortar business, at that location.
So it's not just a convenience store location.
It's not an exaggeration to say that's where TS Retail began.
The fact that he sent Kyung Jun there...
I bet your grandfather sees his younger self...
in his eldest grandson, Kyung Jun.
He wants to groom Kyung Jun...
to be as strong as he is. I'm sure of it.
Se Jun.
You must soar high so Kyung Jun can never beat you.
Don't forget.
We got a head start, you know?
Mom.
Don't worry so much about Kyung Jun joining the company.
He's my one and only brother,
and he is your son.
My son?
Honey.
Don't you have a meeting?
Yes, I should get going.
I guess your mother is pressuring you again.
Well, you know.
Try to understand.
She's very ambitious, you know.
Thanks to her, the company has grown so much.
Oh, right.
Who will be our food product development manager?
You haven't heard?
That young lady who saved your brother.
You mean, Kim Hae Mi?
Yes. She's arriving from the US today.
Hae Mi!
Mom.
My gosh.
My daughter!
Let me have a look at you.
You must be tired after the long flight.
I told you that you didn't need to pick me up.
You brat. If I don't pick you up, who will...
Ms. Kim.
Mr. Oh?
What are you doing here?
Let's go.
Come on, Mom.
What's Kyung Jun doing? Why are you here?
Kyung Jun? Who is that?
Get in the car. I'll tell you when we get home.
All right.
Where is Kyung Jun now?
The chairman sent him to an important place...
to take care of something.
The chairman?
Where is he now?
It's confidential.
"Chairman?" The chairman of the company?
I'll explain later, Mom.
(Hae Mi)
What? You can't just leave.
You won't give me a hand?
I had to make time to pick you up because Kyung Jun asked me to.
I'm off.
Okay, thank you.
Isn't he a secretary? Why is he so arrogant?
He is the chairman's secretary.
My gosh. He works directly for the chairman?
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Hey.
Why did the chairman's secretary pick you up at the airport?
Gosh.
Hey!
Hae Mi!
Why does Uncle Chang Yi only like things that are hard to make?
Right? I wonder too.
Oh, right.
The payment for Do Sik's classes is due today.
You'll go there now?
I'm done here.
Oh, boy. I should hurry.
My gosh. I know she's my mom, but she's so sly.
I can't believe she sneaked out like this.
Gosh, it's so salty!
Sorry? What do you mean?
Do Sik got a full refund?
As I already told you,
Do Sik canceled his registration and got a full refund.
But he didn't tell us anything.
What was his reason?
You should ask your son directly.
But it didn't look like he wanted to continue his studies.
What do you mean I don't want to continue my studies?
I totally do!
Mom, what happened was...
A friend of mine recommended a better cram school,
so I'm studying there now.
It's definitely much better.
Really? My goodness.
I nearly had a heart attack, son!
Anyway,
why are you eating instant noodles?
Didn't Young Yi drop off side dishes for you the other day?
Don't even get me started on Young Yi.
Why?
Mom.
Do you also think I'm pathetic?
Did Young Yi say you were pathetic?
Yes. I was so stressed out, Mom.
So I went to the Han River.
She followed me and said...
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
- Happy birthday, dear Grandma - Happy birthday, dear Grandma
- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you
Oh, my.
I'm incredibly fortunate.
Look at me celebrating my birthday twice.
Happy birthday.
I'd like to give you some spending money, Mother.
My gosh! My dear son.
Thank you very much.
How much did you put in the envelope, Uncle Chang Yi?
A lot. Happy now?
Where's Hwa Kyung?
I called her in the morning and told her to come.
Oh, Eun Sook...
You must be hungry. Let's eat.
Wait.
Chang Yi, try this too. Eat up.
Eat as much as you want.
Young Yi, go bring out another plate of japchae.
Okay.
Try the braised short ribs too, Chang Yi.
- Okay, Mother. - Eat up.
Sit down.
What is it, Mother?
Young Yi, why do you keep discouraging Do Sik?
And the soup you gave him earlier.
Where was the beef? All you gave him was radish.
Why are you so mean to him?
Mother, I have to go to work.
Do Sik... You can ask him directly.
I heard you asked him why he was living like that...
and called him pathetic!
Mother, everyone downstairs will hear you.
Who do you think you are?
It's your fault that Do Jin drowned and died!
Mother.
Why did you make Do Sik go to the Han River?
We must've been sworn enemies in our past life.
It's almost as if you're out to get my dear sons killed!
Mother, how could you say such a thing?
I heard you followed Do Sik to the bridge...
and took his cell phone and running shoes from him.
Where are they? Do Sik's phone and running shoes!
(280-21, Jahamun-ro)
Hey, Young Yi.
Let go.
I'm sorry.
But you should be used to my mom's antics by now.
I didn't lie though.
You left out the details that would get you into trouble.
You told me to tell Mom and Dad after Grandma's birthday.
Young Yi.
Gosh, seriously.
Ms. Lee.
You're here. I'm surprised.
Your face looks puffy.
Did you get into a fist fight on the way here or something?
No, why would I?
You don't look like you'd let anyone punch you.
Cut the nonsense. Come in.
I'll train you step by step starting today.
(Convenience Store)
This is the POS system.
This is a barcode scanner.
You scan the barcodes with this thing.
If it doesn't pick up the barcode, move it closer.
Don't get flustered.
Earlier,
Young Yi only picked at her food.
But she'll be working all night.
Eun Sook, you should go drop off some food for her.
I'm sure she'll eat something if she gets hungry.
I'll go drop off some food for her.
Hey, pack some food for her.
I should pick up some beers while I'm there.
I'm suddenly craving a beer.
Spilling stuff like this isn't so bad.
But some customers come in drunk and throw up on the floor.
It's one of the challenges of working at night.
Keep the store clean at all times. It's the most important thing.
Clean up right away.
But what's with the newspaper?
Have you never used a mop before?
Someone grew up spoiled.
Okay, watch.
Let the newspaper soak up the beverage first...
before you mop the floor. That way, it won't stain the floor,
and it won't be sticky.
- I'll do it. - Just watch.
There are a few tricks.
Ms. Lee, you've got a nosebleed.
Pass me some tissues.
Don't tilt your head back.
Stay still.
Are you all right?
- Young Yi! - Young Yi!
Father.
