FEMALE RADIO HOST: There was a poet,
who once said the following.

(elevator bell dings)

That if you wanna understand,
if you wanna forgive,

-and if you wanna love someone...
-(indistinct chatter)

...you should observe how they look
from the back

for a long while.

-EMPLOYEE 1: Mr. Han.
-EMPLOYEE 2: Mr. Han.

FEMALE RADIO HOST:
That if you do just that,

you don't have to unnecessarily
try to understand, forgive, or love them

because their lonely shadow

will have made you cry
without you even knowing.

(phone rings)

-They're right.
-Hey, how's it going?

To understand someone's loneliness...

(female radio host inhales)

Well, for me, I think
that's the beginning of love.

Here is Wonstein singing, "Secret Garden."

(bubbly pop music playing)

2021 SEOUL LIGHTING EXHIBITION

(aluminum rustling)

(water pouring)

-(clattering)
-(song stops abruptly)

(Dongjin sighs annoyedly)

WOOJOO: You're such an idiot.

You should have known
it was gonna crumble,

pay more attention.

-You're picking up the check today.
-(Jun scoffs)

More like you're
getting free dinner again.

Come on, let's play.

(sighs deeply)

Ugh, why is my heart pounding so hard?

The back of my neck's
been prickly all day.

I wonder what awful thing will happen.

You could cut out coffee,
drink less alcohol.

-And don't think about cigarettes.
-Why?

Because I don't want
to lose my drinking buddy.

Let's ruin our health a bit less then.

Don't go telling everyone
you're a pharmacist,

-they might just stone you.
-(chuckles softly)

(phone vibrates)

NEIGHBORHOOD HEAD LADY: WE REGRET TO
INFORM YOU OF MR. SIM CHULMIN'S DEATH...

(phone thuds)

(Dongjin munching)

(crunching)

(indistinct TV chatter)

(engine revving in distance)

(indistinct TV chatter)

-JUN: A bottle of soju, please.
-WAITRESS: All right!

(chair scrapes)

(sighing)

(crunching)

WOOJOO: Do you wanna make a bet?

Winner gets a wish from the loser.

Hey, stop trying to play me
and just pay okay?

(glass thuds)

(sighs)

Ugh.

I think I should put in
the seasoned soy sauce

or the spicy sauce?

Sweet choices, yeah?

What's the bet on?

-Are you in?
-Tell me first.

Whether it might rain or not.

Well, I'd bet it would.

JUN: Aha! So you're trying
to scam me, not make a bet, huh?

You haven't checked the weather?

WOOJOO: No, I didn't check the weather.

If you can't trust a lifelong friend,

you can check it on your stupid app.

Mm.

All right, I'll check the app.

Hey, the chance of rain
is about ten percent.

You certain you wanna do it?

Do you?

Sure.

(glasses clink)

(coughs)
Why are you making this bet?

-(glass thuds)
-(sighs deeply)

If I win the bet knowing
that that's the probability...

(inhales)

Well, it'd mean the sky's gone nuts.

So I thought my own insanity
wouldn't be all that noticeable.

I could cause some real trouble.

JUN: What lunacy are you preparing
to unleash now?

You're scaring me.

(siren wailing in distance)

OWNER: Congee and two bottles of soju,
fifteen thousand won, please.

Soju?

Hey, lady, you said two bottles of soju
went to his table!

Hey, are you deaf?
Can't you hear me, or what?

Hey, I think the soju was for us.

That's right, there aren't any bottles
on his table.

Oh! Seriously,

-I really should fire that girl.
-Let's get out of here.

(machine beeps)

You know, mister, you should have
told me you didn't order it.

OWNER: I was yelling
and now my throat hurts.

Listen, ma'am.

The way he asked, "Soju?"
That means he didn't order it.

-Why are you giving him such a hard time?
-(Jun laughs awkwardly)

Uh, well then.

JUN: We're ready to pay.

OWNER (clears throat): I'm sorry.

I'm not the one you owe an apology.

WOOJOO: Who knows if he'll come back?

(mellow music)

CALL IT LOVE

EPISODE 1

AUTOMATED VOICE: The rice is ready.

WOOJOO: Sim Haesung, Sim Jigu,
breakfast is ready!

(footsteps ascending)

(floorboard creaking)

(Woojoo exhales heavily)

I set the table, so wake up Jigu and eat.

When you're done, soak the dishes.

It's hard to wash them
if there's food stuck on them.

(exhales)

Oh, what's that? A big roach?

(gasps)

Where?

Where?

You're awake then.

Gosh.

(sighs)

The alarm hasn't rung.

I can sleep a little longer.

(thuds)

Oh, yeah.

Oh, what now? What do you want?

Ten percent chance of rain today
just so you know.

(sighs)
I watch the news in the morning too!

Stop waking me up before my alarm!

-(grumbling)
-Why don't you use that energy to wake up?

(irritated groan)

(barely audible singing on video)

Come eat breakfast.

Oh, okay, okay.

Okay, you attacked me first, don't forget.

-Mmm.
-Look over here.

-(camera shutter clicks)
-Oh, it's bad.

-(clicking continues)
-Whoa, that's really bad.

-Oh, it's so bad.
-(clicking continues)

Yeah, that's a good one.

(teasing laugh)

-Why'd you do that?
-Huh?

I'm gonna send these great pics
to your boyfriend.

Wow, if he still wants to marry you,
that's true love right there.

-He may not recognize you.
-Delete them while you have the chance.

I don't wanna have
to get violent with you, so...

Excuse me?

-You think I'll lose to an old hag?
-Who you calling old hag?

You should try again.

Old hag, old age,
old people, old spinster!

They all mean old and frail, you idiot.

-(grunts)
-(groans)

(thuds)

(whimsical music)

(inhales deeply)

(makes short exhales)

Why'd you do that to me?

-(whimpers)
-(grunts)

-Give it!
-Huh?

Look who's old now, you punk.

Ow, my back.

It was already bad.

-Wow. Come, eat breakfast.
-You're really crazy.

(Jigu groans)

-Give me my phone back.
-HAESUNG: No.

Oh, you're out of your mind.
Why'd you kick me in the back?

I have an injury.

Give it back.

-I have to delete the pictures first.
-Come on, just give it back.

-HAESUNG: How do I do this?
-(Jigu scoffs)

JIGU: You better not send those.

-Okay, just give it back.
-HAESUNG: Oh, stop. I have to delete them.

(music stops)

There's a problem
with the Singapore exhibition.

(thunder crashing)

MAN 1: Oh, what a sudden downpour.

(man 1 exhales)

(rain pattering)

JUN PHARMACY

WOOJOO: There's one thing in this world
that never fails you.

A foreboding.

You know how animals seem to know
when an earthquake is coming

and seek shelter?

They have the ability
to predict their fate.

(phone chimes, thuds)

But humans can't, can they?

(glass thuds)

(rain pattering)

(inaudible sobbing)

(footsteps thudding)

-(tires screech)

EMPLOYEE 3:
It means we lost our bid again.

EMPLOYEE 4: I mean,
didn't they say it was for sure this time?

-EMPLOYEE 5: Yeah.
-EMPLOYEE 6: ...to go under real soon.

EMPLOYEE 7: Yeah, I know.

It's risky, right?

(employees murmuring)

DONGJIN: Wasn't the result due
the day after tomorrow?

Officially, yes. But, uh...

I know their team leader personally.

He said we've the most experience
with exhibitions in Singapore,

and assured me that it was a sure deal.

But then, uh...

Is it President Shin who won the bid?

Yeah.
(inhales)

It seems he only bids on the contracts
that we're trying to get.

SOOHEE: I think...
he's obviously blocking us.

Should I try and get
the contract fee back?

(inhales)

No way we'll get that back.
And President Shin knows it too.

(phone vibrating)

(inhales)

MOTHER

(sighs)

(inhales sharply)

Can you please sum up all the payments

that are due this, um, week,
and send them to me?

I'll review it on the go.

Yes.

(phone ringing in distance)

Miss Baek, wait.

Shin's interference. Have you told Sunwoo?

(inhales)
Yeah, I already did.

(tense music)

(exhales deeply)

SHINWOO FAIR

Yes.

Oh, I should be the one thanking you.
(chuckles)

-Yes, yes.
-(door opens)

-Yes, we'll do our best.
-(door closes)

(approaching footsteps)

So you're here.

Yes, sir. Wait.

(inhales)

Uh-huh, that's right.

Oh, you've got some guts now, Team Leader.

Lower your tone to your mentor, would you?

You're not my mentor now
and I'm president.

It was five years ago
we started our company.

Uh-huh.

(inhales sharply)

So how about the Singapore fair?

Did you undersell us on it?

Hey, would you have been able
to outbid me?

Mm?

Even if I told you whether
I underbid on it or not?

You guys don't have the money, right?

If you and Dongjin
were still working under me,

how nice would that be?

You two used to be my little errand boys,

-so, of course, I'm pissed off.
-(exhales)

(inhales)

(Sunwoo clears throat)

You see...

I don't particularly want
to encourage your pettiness

so I would just ask.

You're doing all this,

is this some kinda sad attempt at revenge?

(chuckles)

How many times do I have to tell you
that we didn't take your employees--

Who saying that?

You think this is a sad attempt.

Revenge is also a means to make a living.

And my constipation was done
after I screwed you, guys.

You really are peculiar, you know that?

-You must be tired.
-Why would I be tired?

I'm livid right now.

You guys are just ripe for the picking,

so why wouldn't I kick you
while you're down?

All right...

Are you about done?

(inhales deeply)

Hmm...
(exhales)

You still have your company.

So, I guess I'm not finished.

(somber music)

(rain pattering)

(phone vibrating)

-Mm.
-JUN: "Mm?"

How can you say that right now to me?

The lunch hour is the most busy one.

Wherever you are, just get back here.

WOOJOO: But it's raining.

Well, so what?

WOOJOO: I thought I told you.

(door opens, closes)

That if I beat the 90 percent chance
and it actually rained...

(rain pattering)

...I would cause some real trouble.

PREMIUM SUITE 1 (1ST FLOOR)
THE LATE SIM CHULMIN

(somber music builds)

(scandalized murmuring)

(music climaxes, fades out)

Someone once told me that.

If you really need
to take revenge on someone,

even after a decade or two,
well, you should try.

Simply pulling a chair out
from under them.

Young lady. What, um...

What do you think you're doing here?

The point I'm trying to make...

is "If an opportunity arises,
humiliate them by any means you can."

Wouldn't you agree?

(flabbergasted breathing)

I don't know who you are.

It's been 15 years.

So I suppose there's a chance you don't.

Sim Chulmin's daughter, Sim Woojoo.

Remember?

(stammering)

(shaky breathing)
Oh.

I've grown a lot, right?

And you, well...

Oh...

You've grown old, huh?

(objects clattering)

(papers rustling)

(objects clattering)

(zipper zips close)

(pants)
Heeja.

Chulmin.

(breathes lightly)

Let's get going.

(deep inhale)

I'm sorry. It's 'cause of me...

(sobbing)

-(sobbing continues)
-Don't say that, Heeja.

(groans)

(smashing)

(tense, somber music)

(loud smashing)

(fast footsteps approaching)

(footsteps pattering)

34, 62-1 YEONHUI-DONG

(fast footsteps retreating)

WOOJOO: Gimme some more stew
and another bottle of soju!

(cup thuds)

(inhales)

It's all right,
don't pay any attention to me

and enjoy your meals.

Aunt number 1, Uncle,

Aunt number 2.

UNCLE: Have you been well?

Well, other than the fact that

I found out about the funeral
via messages in the neighborhood chat,

I guess I've been all right then.

We heard you cut ties
with your father a long time ago.

That's why we didn't reach out.

It's not like we didn't want to tell you.

(Uncle sighs)

Mm. So considerate.

(inhales)

Oh, then what about the ten million won
that you borrowed from my mom?

You acted like that never happened
when they divorced.

I wonder if that's also you
being considerate.

(breathes deeply)

Will you give me an answer today?

You could always give me
the money instead.

(coughing)

Oh. Oh, I should just stop talking to you.

How can a child be so disrespectful
to her elders?

Guess what?

I could be really nasty right now,

but I'm showing you respect.

Because that's what adults do.

(line ringing)

(nervous exhale)

-(line ringing)
-(sighs)

(exhales)
Why...

AUTOMATED VOICE: The person you are
trying to reach can't answer the phone...

(sighs)
Oh, why aren't you answering the phone?

(inhales)
Always when I need you.

(Heeja sighs)

AUTOMATED VOICE:
The line you are calling is busy...

MG SAEMAEUL FINANCE FIRM

DONGJIN: Yes, I can make
the payments next month.

Right. I apologize.

Yes.

(phone beeps)

(counter chime rings)

HAESUNG (gasps):
Excuse me, sir. I apologize.

Our department chief says he forgot
that he had a prior engagement...

I know you were waiting a while.

I apologize on his behalf.

Could I just see him briefly?

Uh... So he says that he'll call you.

He can't see you today.

I apologize.

(counter chime rings)

He'd at least need my number then.

Ah, yes, indeed.

If you could pass it along...

Yes.

Have a nice day. Goodbye, sir.

(counter chime rings)

HAESUNG: Best Fairs?

HAN DONGJIN: CEO, BEST FAIRS

(surprised gasp)

Not only is he ruggedly good-looking,
he's a CEO as well?

So you think he's good-looking?

Hmm. To me, he just seemed like someone
who came here to get a loan.

Listen.

I'm sure you've heard the rumor
that you're a bad judge of men.

They say you're the worst in the branch.

Who's spewing that kind of nonsense?

Me.

It's me.
(laughs)

When I get married next spring,

you're gonna catch my bouquet
when I toss it, right?

JIHYUNG: Mm-hmm.

(indistinct chatter)

(Woojoo chomping)

(Woojoo gulping)

(exhales)

(cup thuds)

(chomping)

HEEJA: You've grown up well.

You're the second child, right?

I'm asking you
for the sake of your dead father.

(inhales)

Please can you just remove yourself?

HEEJA (breathes deeply):
We'll contact you with the burial info.

(scoffs)
What's up with the cheap side dishes?

I thought this was a premium suite.

-(sighs)
-There could be 12

-or nine?
-Hmm?

Eight sides!

If not, what about just six, huh?

Or are you too cheap for that?

What? What are you saying, hmm?

(Heeja scoffs, inhales)

-(chair scrapes)
-(annoyed groan)

What's wrong?

-(annoyed breathing)
-(chair thuds)

-You don't like that word?
-(annoyed gasp)

If you ask me "cheap" suits you.

-I guess, everyone here knows that.
-(annoyed breathing)

Not just cheap but you're...

an overachieving cheap side piece
who stole her friend's husband.

-Hey!
-What?

Who are you to raise your voice?

(people murmuring)

Thirteen years ago,

when the two of you took off
with the bank account book

and the jewelry,

you didn't prepare for this, huh?

-(people murmuring)
-(Heeja breathes angrily)

HEEJA: Keep your voice down.

-What, is this humiliating you?
-(angry breathing)

Your entire life is so embarrassing.

You... you brat!

(people gasping, murmuring)

(Heeja breathes shakily)

(gasps shakily)

(breathes shakily)

(angry breathing)

(breathing shakily)

-(breathes deeply)
-You just going to stand there?

Hmm, well, I won't leave
until I finish the soju.

You didn't really believe
that I'd come here just to humiliate you?

(slurps)

I'm here for the ghost of the man
whose funeral we're attending.

To show him that his daughter
has been waiting for this day

for all these years.

(sighing)

-(gulping)
-(Heeja breathing deeply)

HEEJA: Okay, fine.

(inhales)
You eat up.

(slight scoff)

(inhales)
Finish eating and then go.

(breathes deeply)

(loud chomping)

(Heeja exhales)

(bottle thuds)

(gulping)

(cup thuds)

(tense music)

(Woojoo coughing)

(coughing continues)

-(toilet flushing)
-(lock clicks)

(coughs, sniffles)

(coughing)

(slight cough)

(water running)

-(water gurgling)
-(shaky breath)

(breathes deeply)

(sighs)

Keep it in.

If you cry right now, you're a loser.

(sighs)

AUNT: You mean that woman
sold the house in Yeonhui-dong?

Your brother put the deed in her name

-just before he died.
-(scoffs)

And then, that ridiculous woman went
and sold it

as soon as her name was on it.
(disgusted groan)

Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh.

So then Woojoo came here

to confront her
about her house being sold.

I was afraid for the worst,
but it was better than I thought.

I was so worried
that she was gonna flip out and...

Oh, I don't know,
throw a table or something.

-Jeez.
-I mean...

That little thing is so fiercely feisty,
you know what I mean?

-Goodness.
-(heels thudding)

Oh!

Repeat it to me, who sold what?

Oh. Oh, dear. I really have
to use the restroom.

(Aunt breathes worriedly)

(Aunt chuckles awkwardly)

Well, I, uh, so I thought
maybe you'd already left.

-Auntie!
-What, what, huh?

Tell me what was sold right now!

Don't look at me like that!

Maybe you should ask Heeja instead of me!

(tense music)

-WOOJOO: Let go of me.
-HEEJA: Just come with me.

-WOOJOO: Let go and answer me!
-HEEJA: Settle down, let's talk up here.

Here...

-Be quiet.
-Just tell me.

-Tell me, did you sell our house or not?
-(angry grunt)

I said be quiet and follow me.

-Oh, come on! You brat!
-(phone vibrating)

-I said let go!
-(angry grunt)

-(Heeja breathes heavily)
-(phone vibrates)

Why are you doing this to me?

Didn't you crash the funeral
'cause you knew that?

-(surprised breath)
-(exhales)

Why the look?

What? Nobody bothered
to mention it to you?

So, you really came here

just to try to punish my dead husband,

looking like a hooker?

(scoffs)

(inhales)

-Who's really cheap?
-(phone vibrating)

Because look who's talking.
(laughs)

-Explain it then.
-(phone vibrating)

Tell me, why would it belong to you?

Because it doesn't, okay?

Hang on a sec.

You should do something about your phone.

-It's driving me crazy.
-(phone vibrating)

-(vibrating continues)
-(sighs)

-Look, I'll call you later--
-JIGU: Woojoo!

Why don't you answer your phone?

Some people are here
telling me to vacate the house...

(Namil sucks teeth)

We'll need to change it all out.

Right? New wallpaper?

(sighs)
Please, Woojoo, where are you?

The house is mine!

HEEJA: Keep your voice down!

What makes you think it's okay
to shout at me like that?

(dumbfounded breathing)

Look, your father and I
were legally married you get it?

That house was under your father's name.

It belonged to you then,
but now it's an inheritance.

It was mine to sell.

-I haven't done anything wrong, okay?
-Well, you can't just force us out.

You can't just take away our home,
we live there still.

(breathes shakily)

I swear...

If you take our home away from us,
karma will come for you.

You can't uproot us like that,
how could you?

(scoffs)

You really think karma exists?

I'll consider the humiliation
I endured today

as punishment enough.

About the house?

You have a week to move out.

(startled breath)

Take this.

HEEJA: Use it to catch a cab.

You can't go on the bus looking like that.

(dismayed sigh)

Where are you going?
We're not finished yet.

What the hell?

Don't you touch me!

I'm done being nice,

you need to respect me
and your dead father.

Stop this now unless you want you
and your precious siblings...

(inhales deeply)
...pulled out by force.

(shaky breathing)

(soft dramatic music)

(shaky breathing)

-(club thwacks)
-Oh!

Whoo!

(exhales)

(sighs)
Shoot.

(Sunwoo sighs tiredly)

(exhales)

-Mmm.
-(phone vibrates)

Hmm?

DONGJIN:
123 HAMCHON-RO, DONGJAK-GU, SEOUL

Ah, eeesh!

(button clicking)

-(grunting)
-(thudding)

Hey...

(groans)

(Sunwoo sighs)

(exhales)

Hey, where did you get the car key?

(smacks lips)
Where do you think I got it?

(sighs deeply)

-(thumps)
-(smacks lips, inhales)

I guess you went through my desk.

Anyway.

This is kidnapping, you know?

Do you know how scared
my baby must have been?

When did you get the car?

Like...

a while... ago, I think.

I paid for it a little before that.

It was before things got so bad.

(sighs)

Say something okay?

Dongjin, don't just give me that look.

As co-owner...

I'm also working hard
to find some cash flow for us.

So please don't make me sell my car!

(inhales)
You find some money, okay?

I will do what I can.

SUNWOO:
Hey, did things go well at the bank?

How much are they gonna loan us?

Hey, Dongjin!

Hey! Can you please just tell me
what's gonna happen with the company?

(irritated grunt)

(somber music)

JEIL FUNERAL PARLOR

Dongjin, you actually came here?

(inhales)

(sighs)
Nothing good's gonna come outta this.

(somber music)

Chulmin.

HEEJA: Dongjin is here to see you.

(breathes deeply)

You didn't see him often.

Mm.
(sighs)

But...

he was always good to you.

HEEJA (inhales): You remember, right?

You left the world first,
leaving me all alone.

Now, this boy is all I have left.

(Heeja sighs, sniffles)

Why did you have to go so early?

(inhales deeply)

Tell me why you left me all by myself.

(Heeja sobbing)

(heels thudding)

(indistinct chatter)

(thumps)

(objects clattering)

(people murmuring)

(depressed breath)

(indistinct chatter)

(crying quietly)

(crying continues)

Ah, stop it already, it's stupid.

(sniffles)

(sobbing softly)

(exhales deeply)

(soft dramatic music)

(cries)

(sniffling)

(shaky breathing)

Ah, Woojoo, did you do something crazy?

I was hoping I wouldn't find you
when I got here.

But my hunch was right...

I wish I had been wrong.

Like what impulsive decision convinced you

that it'd be okay
to dress like that at a funeral?

Come on. Why don't you get up?

(cries)

(sobbing)

(Woojoo sniffles, sobs)

Are you... crying?

(sobbing)

(Woojoo sobbing continues)

Hey, please don't cry.

Go ahead and say it.

"Woojoo, why do you even come?"

(inhales)

I tried so hard to hold myself together
so my dad wouldn't see these tears.

(sad inhale)
And now if they see me here...

they'll think that I'm broken
'cause of his death and that's not why.

I didn't want to cry for him at all.

(sobbing)

(sobbing continues)

(sobbing heavily)

(sobbing heavily continues)

(Woojoo sniffles)

(crickets chirping)

(approaching footsteps)

You're cruel, you know.

You don't visit me once for five years,

and it takes someone to die
just for me to see your face?

(breathes deeply)

(sighs)

(awkward exhale)

I transferred the money.

You should check your bank.

I'm sorry.

(Heeja sighs)

I know I got married a lot

so I guess I didn't offer you
the support you needed.

Though I endured,
much anxiety and pain during your birth.

If you were having a hard time,
you should have talked to me sooner.

Why would you be running around
and asking everyone for money like a bum?

(unhappy exhale)

Where did you get the money though?

It wasn't stolen.

Just so we're clear.

I'll pay you back.

(sighs)

There were so many people looking.

You should have at least gotten a haircut.

(scoffs)

(wry laugh)

(Heeja inhales deeply)

Okay.

(inhales)

Now you're acting like your dad's son.

(Heeja chuckles wryly, inhales)

(Heeja breathes deeply)

(smacks lips, inhales)

(abrupt sigh)

Oh, Dongjin.

(inhales)
Let's see each other more often, okay?

(Heeja breathes desperately)

You know, I have no one but you now.

That's all. Hm?

(sniffles)

(somber music)

(door chimes jingling)

-(thuds)
-(soft grunt)

(paper rustling)

(door closes)

(door lock chimes)

(clicking)

(object thuds)

Hey, before we go,
do you wanna get takeout from our area?

What if the jjajangmyeon
in the new neighborhood sucks?

HAESUNG (inhales):
Yeah, I wouldn't like that at all.

(soft inhale)

Do you wanna get kang jjajangmyeon
in that case?

Yeah, sure, the seafood one.

JIGU: Oh, in that case,
I'll get some fried rice.

You want sweet and sour pork?

Sweet and sour?

Huh, let's get a medium size.

JIGU: Hi, this is the house
with the ginkgo tree out front.

(sighs)

I'd like two seafood jjajangmyeon,
a fried rice,

and a medium sweet and sour pork.

And a bottle of Cola
and a bottle of cider.

You?

Am I weird for debating
whether we should be eating right now?

Do you want something or not?

Jjamppong.

And a jjamppong also.

JIGU: Okay.

(phone beeps)

(paper rustling)

(melancholy music)

(melancholy music continues)

(smirkingly laughs)

The Hulk,

the psycho,

and me, Jigu.

2 MONTHS LATER

(door opens)

(solemn music)

(lights flicking)

MANAGER: Mr. Han.

What are you doing?

MANAGER: I mean, it's not like you haven't
seen an empty exhibition hall.

What were you so focused about in there?

All that space.

But the problem is,
finding ways to fill it.

How can we fill the hall
with just one fair?

What if not enough people attend?

(scoffs, inhales)

There's this one guy who always...
(smacks lips)

...avoids the first day of his own fairs,
on purpose I bet.

(laughs)

And will you be the same?

Oh, so...

Why did you come to see me?

Hall C.

I'd like to reserve it.

What? You've got a new trade show?

Your company is back to normal?

-Yes.
-MANAGER: Oh...

(manager chuckles)

(papers rustle)

(low groaning)

CEO HAN DONGJIN

(papers rustle)

(knocking on door)

(phone ringing in distance)

(clicks tongue, sucks teeth)

You're Dongjin's right-hand person
so it makes sense you knew the situation.

If Mr. Cha also knew about it,
then I might be kind of hurt.

Mister Choi, can you...

separate your work and personal life?

I'm separating them.

This is personal and not okay,
Baek Soohee.

You're my mom's friend's daughter,
seriously,

we literally grew up together, right?

Did you tell him we're holding
our own exhibition?

Yes.

Oh, gosh. I'm so sorry.

If we're talking about that, well, I knew.

So then, you all knew it?

When I'm also president
and I... was just told?

So, instead of always disappearing,
just show up.

You should be used to it now, huh?
I'm a busy guy, okay?

Look, look, look. I see that look again.

(smacks lips, inhales)

What I'm saying is,
we just got an investment,

jumping into another fair too soon
is risky.

(inhales)
Oh, let's face it.

We're pushing our luck.

(inhales)

Bidding on exhibits
will only take us so far.

We need to hold our own exhibition

to create a stable revenue source
and prevent debt.

(faint sigh)

So what is your idea then?

A camping exhibition could be good.

SOOHEE: Hmm, it's actually
a growing market right now.

There's expansion potential
with food and drink distributors

and manufacturing companies.

Could be good.

(inhales)
Take a look.

Before you are the companies
I've talked with already.

I've included the contact details
for the major clients

so you can arrange meetings right away.

Oh, so when'd you do all this?

When do you think he did it?

I don't show up to work in the office
but he never leaves at all.

And that's why
this is all working so smoothly.

-Are you proud of that?
-Why yes, indeed.

SUNWOO: Enough of this meeting,
let's get some lunch I'm hungry.

(retreating footsteps)

(slurping)

(sighs)

-(chopsticks thud)
-Just say it.

How's the food?

Dongjin? It's bland, right?

Can't we just eat?

(chomping)

So...
(inhales)

Do you spend time,
camping alone these days?

That's what you wanna know?

(inhales)
Is like...

(clicks tongue, inhales)

No matter what was going on with you,

remember back in the day,
you were always going camping

every chance you got, yeah?

But ever since you broke up with Minyoung,
you haven't camped once.

So I thought,

"Okay, I guess he's done with camping."

That's the reason I wouldn't talk
camping with you, Dongjin,

but you mentioned it again today.

Is there anything going on with you?

(inhales)

Look, it's just an idea
and it's something that I know.

(sighs)

I was wondering

-why did you break up with Minyoung?
-(blows air)

(spoon clinks)

Just kidding.
Please ignore my stupidity, eh?

But you do have to tell me about your mom.

Where did she get all that cash anyway?

We need to know where
the investment funds are from.

HEEJA: It wasn't stolen.

Just so we're clear.

I wouldn't have cared.

(tense music)

Even if she said she stole it,

I probably would've taken it
without thought.

That's why I didn't ask
where she got the money.

(spoon rattling)

'Cause we needed it.

(slurps)

(chomping)

Can I have some more tteokbokki, please?

CART LADY: Of course.

-MAN 2: Thank you.
-HAESUNG: Yes, have a good day.

Thank you, sir.

Uh, did you take a number?

Uh...

Oh, it's all right. I can take her.

Here.

-(heels thudding)
-(counter chime rings)

Hello there.

(thumps)

(thuds)

WOMAN: I wanna withdraw all of my money.

Yes. Could you show me your ID?

(loud tap)

(counter chime rings)

Oh, may I ask,
if this is your husband's account?

(keyboard keys clacking)

You're something else, aren't ya?

What?

Husband?

Why yes, exactly.

Uh...

I'm sorry, ma'am. My mistake, sorry.

WOMAN: Keep your mouth shut.

Until I ask you a question.

(panting)

Ow! My back hurts!

SUHO: Ma'am, please, please, calm down.

-WOMAN: Let go!
-Ma'am, please...

-(Haesung groaning)
-(overlapping chatter)

SUHO: Ma'am, just please stop, ma'am.

-Ma'am, please. Let go of her!
-JIHYUNG: Please stop...

-(Haesung yelps)
-(people gasp, murmur)

(woman panting)

-Uh...
-(panting continues)

(Haesung breathing heavily)

(breathing heavily continues)

(pants)

I really don't know anyone
called Park Youngsoo.

What do you mean you don't know who he is?

He was calling you "honey" and "darling"
when he spoke to you late last night.

He's the same guy who lives with me!

No, uh...

-The man I'm seeing is Park Minkyu--
-WOMAN: Park Minkyu!

Park Youngsoo is Park Minkyu.

Minkyu's his nickname,
his real name's Youngsoo!

-(stunned breath)
-(woman scoffs)

Don't tell me you didn't know.

-I'm...
-You must have.

Ma'am, I really didn't know, I swear.

WOMAN: Who are you calling "Ma'am"?

Don't try to be so polite
in the middle of this mess.

I didn't know...

(shaky breathing)

Well, I, uh...

(shaky breathing)

I would never date someone

who was already seeing
another girl, I swear.

(woman scoffs)

(photos clattering)

What's all this then?

WOMAN: We're not legally married,

but we've been sleeping
in the same bed for ten years.

I sold cosmetics to provide
for his clothes, food, everything.

I'm the one who gave him his life.

And he says he wants to break up with me
so he can live with you.

(shaky breathing)

(melodramatic music)

(plastic crinkling)

(shaky breathing)

You should have come to me sooner.

It must have been so hard for you.

(sniffles)

I won't see him again.

(breathes deeply)

Now that I know all this.

(sniffles)

I can't believe he did that to you.

WOMAN (scoffs):
You expect me to believe that?

(breathing heavily)

(door opens)

WOOJOO: Give her a chance.

There's nothing else you can do.

(photos rustling)

(rustling continues)

(sighs deeply)

If you see her with your husband,

just look for me instead
of looking for her, okay?

It'll be faster.

'Cause I'm her little sister,

and I'll kill her personally
if she sees him again.

(pen clicks)

(paper rustles)

WOOJOO: This is my cell number.

Can we consider this finished?

But let me say one more thing.

More than likely,
my sister really didn't know.

And the only reason she let you
beat her up and humiliate her

is because she's so nice.

It's 'cause she knows
it isn't easy hearing it like this.

That must be
what's most painful from it all.

(sniffles)

(inhales)

(exhales deeply)

And, um...

I'm not as nice as her.

So don't forget that.

(breathes lightly)

(sniffling)

(sobs softly)

(sighs)

(thuds)

(ripping)

(smashes)

-(annoyed breath)
-(rapid footsteps approaching)

HAESUNG: Are you crazy?

Why are you throwing that away?

Hey, Sim Haesung!

Hey, I'm your older sister!
You shouldn't yell at me like that!

Why didn't you use that temper?

I'm appalled that she got the best of you.

(sighs)

I just really like this picture of me.

Well, I'll cut my face out
and then I'll toss the other photos.

Come on, you stupid or what?

So tell me, how is it that
all your relationships are so horrible?

(breathing heavily)

I don't have to explain myself,

especially 'cause you think guys
are just like our cheating dad.

Even if I did explain myself,
you just don't get it.

Well, you don't date, so back off, Woojoo.

I think I consider myself quite lucky.

And I think I'm luckier than you are.

Then at least meet someone that's decent!

Why do you always go
for pathetic dogs like that one?

I'm year of the horse!

Dog signs are a match, okay?

(dumbfounded sigh)

Oh, wait. I have to go
to the pharmacy too.

Yeah, well, I quit working there.

What?

Then where do you work now?

Huh?

(pop music playing in background)

(thuds)

(phone vibrates)

YURI: Beige pantyhose.

(box thuds)

(smacks lips)

(whispering)
Hey. Who is she?

(clicks tongue, sighs)

(awkward chuckle)

Uh, Miss? May I ask, do you know this guy?

Yes, uh, actually quite well.

What? Is that true?

Then may I ask
how you know each other then?

(chuckles)

He's helping me with my stuff,
so perhaps we know each other.

Oh, you really don't know her?

Well, should I? I can't recall.

Uh... Have we met somewhere already?

(awkward chuckle)

I, uh, suppose here and there.

I'm around until about six each day.

Huh?

Oh, the rumor must be true about you.

Uh, what rumor?

You go to work like you go to the gym.

(elevator bell dings)

BEST FAIRS

SUNWOO: What's this?

She works for us?

DONGJIN:
She's a part-time office assistant.

She's been here for a week now.

(curious exhale)

(sucks teeth)

(long sigh)

How old is she?

-Why do you wanna know so bad?
-(sighs)

She's too old for part-time
and she seems really tough.

She already knew exactly who I was,
but she didn't even flinch for a second.

And besides,
what's with her attitude anyway,

the way she talks?

I'm not sure if she was joking or not.

(Sunwoo inhales)

(sighs)

Sunwoo.

Yeah, I was planning to head out anyway.

The second you put on glasses,
it's my cue to go.

(Sunwoo sucks teeth)

Since this is the attitude I get,

I'm not that surprised
she's acting like that too.

It's just for three months.

It's a temporary position,
a three-month contract.

No extensions.

(chair rattling)

(approaching footsteps)

Excuse me, you get my pantyhose?

No.

Didn't you get my text?

Oh, look at that. Why yes, you did.

(plastic rustling)

Well, yes, I did.
I didn't get them for you.

I would have if you had written,

"Woojoo, could you please
get me some pantyhose?"

It was the way you said it.
(sighs)

It felt like you were giving me an order.

I felt offended by that.

(cabinet door slams)

I was in a hurry at that time, I...

(gulping)

Mister Cha, I really don't like her.

Well, she's a good asset to us.

Yeah, so what?
She's just a part-timer though.

YOUNGMIN: I don't think
she's a typical part-timer.

Our team leader's picking
her assignments personally.

(light knocking)

This is reference material.

Can you read and summarize it?

SOOHEE: It'll be good for you
to have some background knowledge.

Okay.

YOUNGMIN: Ms. Baek doesn't even call you
by name if you're not good enough.

It took you, what?
Three months too, right?

Oh, um, it's not the most clean.

Why am I dirty, though?

Married cheating assholes
should be instead.

They're all just pieces of trash
that you can't recycle.

They all have to be put out

AUNT: You gonna stand there all day?

(Aunt sighs)

Don't look into it any further.

You told me you met with that woman.

Yeah, I went to talk to her.

I met her, okay?

(irritated sigh)

Your dad put the deed in her name
before he died,

so you kids don't have any claim.

Even if you did,

she already sold the house
and funded her son's company.

(groan sigh)
She's a terrible woman,

but she still loves her son.

I also heard...

You spent all your money
on your mom's treatment

and that house was all you had.

I don't understand my brother.

Why did he have to marry a gold digger...

I'm outta here.

JUHEE HAIRLINE

Woojoo, hey, wait!

(sighs)

(groans)

Here.

Her son's business card.

When he came to the funeral hall
I made sure to get it.

You know, actually, he seems
totally different than she is.

You could ask him for some money.

AUNT: Hey, who knows?

Maybe he can right his mother's wrong?

WOOJOO: If he was different
from his mother,

he shouldn't have taken the money.

He would have known
where that money came from.

It's simply "like mother, like son."

(heavy footsteps)

JUN: Hey, do you remember?

(inhales)
Maybe your sophomore year of high school?

You know, when you wore
that expensive pair of shoes to school

and that day some bullies took them away?

The one who went
and got them back was Woojoo.

(inhales)

Was it really her?

(inhales)

Those kids were known

to be the strongest and meanest
in Seodaemun District those days.

(inhales)

She chased those guys for a whole month
to get those back for you.

(baffled laugh)

Wow, she's totally crazy.
(laughs)

-Right?
-Not an ordinary crazy...

but a terrifyingly diligent psycho.

AUTOMATED VOICE: First floor.

JUN: She went through all that trouble
just to get a pair of shoes back,

but now, she's lost her house.

Do you really think that psycho
would just sit idly by?

I really... wanna be on your team.

She's a part-time office assistant.

She's been here for a week now.
