Original subtitles

-You're here. -I thought you left.

I didn't see your bike outside.

-I sent it off for repair. -What?

I got into an accident. I fell down on my way.

-Why? -Because of you.

I kept looking back and I fell.

I'm sorry.

I don't think I can go.

Let's work.

I missed you.

You crazy...

What's wrong with you?

Are you playing around with me?

Don't worry.

I won't ask you not to leave.

I'll stay beside you until you leave.

-What? -You should leave if that's what you want.

But spend your time happily here before you leave.

Don't worry about anything else.

You're so...

Good morning.

-Hello. -What?

Kang-soo.

What happened?

Sorry, I came back.

Goodness.

Men shouldn't be so indecisive.

Dan-ah must've asked him not to go.

What?

I knew you'd do it.

Boss...

All right.

Hello, this is Palpal.

These are for the customers in the hall.

Have a nice meal.

QUICK DELIVERY SERVICE

ELEVATOR BEING REPAIRED

What?

Hey, come over here.

Catch me if you can.

That little... Hey!

What?

Stop. Stop.

Focus on your work.

He's impossible.

Come on.

I told you to stop it.

I'll take his hospital fee off your payment.

What do you mean?

-You pay for his hospital fee. -Well...

Give it some slack. Your body will be the same even if they touch you a little.

You clearly said all I needed to do was sing for them.

You think your job is simply singing just because you work at a karaoke room?

Do girls who work at kissing rooms just kiss their customers?

Do girls who work at room salons just pour drinks for their customers?

You think that's how they earn millions of won a month?

Do you have no conscience? It isn't that easy to earn money.

If you're here to earn money, throw away that high pride of yours.

Stop behaving all noble.

Hey, you should give her a strong impression from the start.

Talk rudely to her and act like you're rich.

When she's upset, give her the expensive bag.

"Wait. He seems to have a lot of money."

Then it's over.

Be a tough guy.

All right. "Be a tough guy."

I get it.

My Yeon-ji.

-You're here. -Who are you?

I'm Gong-ki Baek of Sinsung Noodles.

-And? -I've been watching you

and you're my type.

Here.

Take it.

So you recognize it.

Let's go and have a drink.

Excuse me, King Kong.

What?

King Kong?

Look at you.

You shouldn't make fun of my name.

-And call me honey from now on. -Forget it

-and just run. -Run?

Run.

What? Oh, gosh.

Wait. Goodness.

-He's such a jerk. -Stop!

Stop! Gosh, this is terrible.

Gosh, stop!

He came back?

Yes.

I thought he only knew how to go straight,

but he knows how to reverse too.

So what are you going to do?

Well, since it turned out this way...

"Honey, come over here."

Hey.

I have this feeling that it'll be hard for you to leave this country.

Stop the nonsense.

I'll leave this country even if the world falls apart.

What if he asks you not to go?

-I don't care. -If you can't stand without him?

That will never happen.

Okay.

Good luck.

I really want to see you escape from here.

I thought you didn't want me to.

Just...

I hate this country more and more too.

What's wrong with her?

She gave me these shoes for a new start.

She wanted me not to be nosy anymore.

But I didn't listen to her.

Dad.

Am I doing all right?

They're like your ships.

Dongsun.

First Mansun.

You went through a lot.

So are you going back home?

Yes. My mom runs a stationary alone, so I plan to help her for the time being.

What do you mean, for the time being? Settle down there.

You guys are working so hard to save my grandma's restaurant.

I can't turn a blind eye to it.

Not a chance. You're too slow to be of help.

Stay with your mom.

When is your mom coming, though?

I need to greet her this time for sure.

She'll be here soon.

Yes, boss.

Okay, I'll be right there.

Bye.

I don't think I can wait. I have to go work.

I'll greet her next time.

It'd be nice if you said hello to her.

I'll go visit you later. Tell her I said hello.

Okay. Call me.

-Bye. -Bye.

Kang-soo...

What?

Why are you having small lunch again?

You might get malnutrition at this rate.

-It's good for a diet. -I see.

Leave only the bones then.

Call me when you hear a rattling sound when you walk.

I'll bring you ox-bone stew.

Hey, listen.

What does it mean for a man to give clothes to a woman as a gift?

Is it like a proposal?

"You're mine. I'll cover you."

I have no idea, but why do you keep asking me these kinds of stuff?

You must've dated a lot of women.

-Haven't you ever bought a girl clothes? -I gave them my credit card.

I've never loved a girl so much to do such a thing for her.

What did you do until now?

I lived like a loser, so what?

Bye.

Wait. I have another question.

Do you grind your teeth in your sleep?

When I get stressed out a lot.

I think I'll grind my teeth tonight.

-How do I fix it? -Just...

-Have something in your mouth and sleep. -Like what kind?

Okay, I'll search everywhere in a shopping mall

and give you a mouthpiece as a gift.

Really? Nice.

What?

You're lovely.

You cute thief

who steals mouthpieces.

When will you steal my heart?

Just go. I'm losing my appetite because of you.

What...

Goodbye.

He's copying me.

Table for two?

Please follow me.

JUNG GA OX-BONE STEW

See? They're all going somewhere else. Let's go.

Why...

Why aren't you waiting?

We're tired of waiting. We'll come later.

I saw earlier that some customers decided to leave after waiting so much

while there were some who continued to sit here even after they finished eating.

That happens often.

But we can't tell them to vacate the seats.

Well...

How about we provide customers dessert? Something like plum tea.

It's to remind them that they're done with their meals in a pleasant way.

I'll do that.

I'm not telling you to follow my orders unconditionally.

I want your comment regarding my idea.

Do you want to get a compliment?

Yes.

It's not bad.

Thank you. Then get right into it.

Yes, sir.

The workers will complain about it, though.

Keep that in mind.

This is really hard.

-Move back a little. -You move back.

-Hey. -Let's do rock-paper-scissors.

-That's childish. -Rock-paper-scissors.

Rock-paper-scissors.

Hey, stop. This is dangerous.

I'm moving back.

Watch out.

Hey.

Stop it. Hey.

I'm moving back.

Hey!

Excuse me.

-Excuse me. -Sorry.

You have reached the maximum weight. Please take the next elevator.

Honey.

Goodness.

-The loser will wash all these dishes. -Deal.

Ready or not, rock-paper-scissors.

PALPAL NOODLES

I never thought Dan-ah could act cute.

Kang-soo

is actually a genius.

He used rock-paper-scissors.

He does know something.

Gosh, it's upsetting.

I have no more to teach him.

Why are you following me again?

It's dangerous to walk alone at night.

Get lost.

Are you crazy?

Goodnight.

HANYANG OX-BONE STEW

See? I predicted right.

This alley is going to be ours.

We just need to eat it all up.

Like this?

You're impressive, sir.

Stick in our business cards as you walk.

Do it whenever you're outside the office whether it's night or day.

-Got that? -Yes, sir.

Do it until people get sick of it.

WE LEND OUT MONEY.

Did you borrow money from a loan shark?

Well...

I did because I had to pay for Hyun-soo's hospital fee.

Don't worry. I'll be careful.

JUNG GA OX-BONE STEW

Good job today.

-Thank you. -Bye.

Goodbye.

We feel like we're the owner now that you give us a bow like this.

You're always like the owner for me.

All right.

Safe home, ma'am.

Keep up the good work.

Mr. Oh.

-He's so handsome. -He's so cool.

What's gotten into you?

We began providing the dessert.

The employees are demotivated if they're given more work.

It'll eventually lead to a decreased service quality.

So I've thought of this idea.

It's so-called, "Pleasant Workplace Project."

It's not bad.

That's flattering.

Goodbye, ma'am.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Can't I

have a minute with him?

Be patient.

It's better for him to forget about his family now.

Ms. Jung, please. Just for ten minutes.

You promised me when he was in the detention center.

You said

you'd do as I say if I got him out.

Okay.

I'll listen to you.

-Let's go. -Yes, ma'am.

What?

-Welcome. -Hi.

What brings you to this shabby place?

This is my house.

Sorry.

What brings you to this shabby place?

I wanted to have some ramyeon with you.

What a good timing. I was feeling hungry anyway.

Byun-soo. Go get the water.

Why should I...

It's because I want you to.

Got a problem?

No.

She borrowed money from a loan shark?

-Yes. -As expected.

We're destined not to take our hands off this fight.

So I gave it some thought.

Doing delivery service isn't enough. There must be some customers in the hall.

Right. A restaurant survives only when people visit the place.

Do we have a solution, though?

Jung Ga Ox-Bone Stew is so busy

that customers can't stay there for a long time.

Let's use that to our advantage.

There are groups of people who need a place to gather.

Groups like a parents' organization?

Yes, there are many exercise groups too.

Let's target those groups.

Then...

Shall we hand out some flyers?

She says she can give 15 percent discount for customers in groups.

Then it's set. Let's hand the flyers out starting tomorrow.

Let's do that.

Yes! I love handing out flyers with Kang-soo the most.

I don't know why, but it's exciting.

It feels like something will happen.

Let's eat.

-Thanks for the food. -Thanks for the food.

Please enjoy.

PALPAL NOODLES

HANYANG OX-BONE STEW 15 PERCENT DISCOUNT FOR GROUPS

This is Hanyang. Visit us for a meal after your exercise.

This is Hanyang Ox-Bone Stew.

Please come visit.

Don't you work at Sinsung Noodles?

Well...

We're twins. I'm his twin brother.

I see.

I didn't know that.

Where do you gather for your meals lately?

I recommend you this place.

Make yourselves comfortable and stay there all day long.

We give you 15 percent discount for sure.

-What? -That's awesome.

MARKET RESEARCH REPORT

The sales decreased?

I mean, we've got a better turnover.

This is a kind of reverse effect.

Jung Ga Ox-Bone Stew is hard to make reservations for groups.

Customers in groups are

changing restaurants to Hanyang.

Do you have any nice idea?

It's your job to find a way.

Well, then.

This is crazy.

You really have changed.

Are you here to study early in the morning?

Yes. What are you doing?

-It's my another part-time job. -Part-time job?

Yes, I've been doing this all along.

I see.

Shall I help you out?

No, thanks. Just don't scribble on your desk.

How is your study going?

It's going.

How should I study English?

Be immersed in studying it.

Memorize all the words you see. Then you'll improve.

I see.

Do you want some coffee after you finish cleaning?

Study, you noob.

That crazy punk.

What are you doing?

I woke up early today.

Are you my stalker or what?

Call me your guardian angel instead.

You've got to be kidding me.

I didn't kick you that hard.

Goodness.

This won't do. Come here.

Come here. Hey, come here!

I'm only trying to help you.

I won't hit you, so come here.

Don't lie.

You're here.

I looked everywhere for you.

-Why? -I heard you were studying here,

so I wanted to say hi.

-Here. -I see.

Thank you.

-How's your study? -It's killing me.

Do it hard.

-It's to defeat you. -I can't speak English though.

It's to defeat Hanyang.

You did already.

Hanyang is barely surviving. You want it to go out of business completely?

I'll get fired if I let it survive.

Then quit. I know you graduated college.

You can lead a much nicer life.

And this is bad?

Is it illegal to sell food cheaper than other restaurants?

It's fair to have a price war.

This is a fair battle.

You call it fair just because you're wearing the same gloves?

It's a battle between a child and an adult.

You don't understand me.

Sorry, I can't understand others well.

I see things only from my perspective.

Okay. Let's stop here.

What?

I'm sorry to hinder your business.

What?

I have no bad feelings towards you anymore.

It's just that I'm going until the end because I started this.

I hope you know.

You didn't wash your hands after cleaning, did you?

Let's play fair.

All right.

Let's do it.

Be extra careful in keeping the stores clean.

Here.

I'll go have lunch.

-Okay. -See you soon.

Can I get changed and go?

You wear different clothes for meals?

-It's just... -Do as you please.

Thank you.

PALPAL NOODLES

Hello.

Welcome.

I didn't know you were having lunch.

It's okay. We're done.

Have a seat. Dan-ah, take her order.

Okay.

Gosh, the dust.

I'm sorry.

What can I get for you?

I'll have some jjajangmyeon.

Okay. We have one jjajangmyeon.

All right.

I...

I like your dress.

Thank you.

Where did you buy it?

It's a gift from someone really nice.

I see.

I guess that dress is popular.

No one's chasing you.

Eat slowly.

You might get indigestion and trouble us later.

It's because I'm hungry.

You had a lot of fried dumplings before this. Are you still hungry?

What an unpleasant way of talking.

Pardon?

You seem a little rude to your co-worker.

You must not have learned how to control your emotions properly as a child.

What are you talking about?

If parents don't accept their baby's emotions properly,

the baby tends to grow up as a violent adult.

So?

It's not too late for you to get some psychological treatment.

Dan-ah.

What are you doing?

Mister, are you okay?

How should I get that treatment?

Can you be specific?

Dan-ah.

Right, you shouldn't be rude to our customer.

Miss. Please leave.

Visit us next time.

Hold on. Excuse me, come outside for a second.

Hey, come outside!

That little...

-Stop. -He's right.

You shouldn't beat up a customer.

Take her down when you run into her later.

Why that little...

What's wrong with you?

-I said, go. -Hold on.

I'm about to cry now.

Why would you cry?

It's because you're being mistreated by someone like her at your workplace.

Watch your mouth. She's older than you.

-Are you siding with her? -I mean...

Just... Just go.

-She's scary. -I'm not scared of her.

I might not look like it,

but I'm good at taekwondo.

I see. You're scary too.

Why don't you just let it slide?

Go now.

You're acting strangely.

I'm not.

-Go. -You are.

I said I'm not.

Go, seriously.

This is strange.

There's something.

I've got a feeling.

Goodness. The more I think about it, the more I don't get her.

Don't mind her, just let it slide.

No.

Something doesn't feel right.

I have a strange feeling about this.

Honey.

Do you still have the dress I bought for you?

What?

-I gave it to someone. -Who?

My... My friend.

Which friend?

Look me in the eye and tell me.

Who is that girl?

Who on earth is that brat

who wore that dress and sided with you earlier?

-That's... -Come on.

Okay, I'll tell you. Actually,

it's her.

The runaway girl who lived in here.

-And? -I took care of her and she liked me.

Then she took that dress too.

She thought that it was a gift for her.

Really. That's all.

Gosh, she's young.

That's why.

Dan-ah.

So stop being nosy.

Guys, we have a delivery to make.

I'm busy studying.

Tell me honestly.

Who's she? You know her because you worked at Palpal before.

What relationship does she have with Mister?

There's something, right? I know there is.

It felt like Mister was going easy on her intentionally.

I don't know. Go ask him yourself.

Because I have no courage to do that.

Still, you should ask him yourself.

So there's something, isn't there?

Will you trust me

if I say there isn't?

-I won't. -Then?

Will you give up on him if I say there is?

-No. -See?

-So what should you do? -What should I do?

Gosh.

What's your IQ?

Okay, I'll take care of it myself. You're not of help at all.

-What? -Continue studying.

Gosh, that brat.

I forgot.

Gosh, this is so hard to concentrate.

Your delivery

is here.

Your ox-bone stew is here.

Excuse me.

Yes, sir.

Gosh, I'm sorry.

Well...

Put it here.

I guess you're busy with work.

Pardon? Well, no.

It's not that I have much work. It's my personality.

I find wrong numbers every time I think of leaving work.

Oh, right.

Well...

Here.

-It's 5,500 won. -I got cash.

-Please enjoy. -Thank you.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

-Excuse me. -Yes, sir.

-You're still here. -Well...

The dishes...

Oh, you're here to get your dishes back.

Please hold. I'll finish this quickly so you can have it back.

Well...

-Have the warm stew. -What?

I got a new one just in case you're still here.

Eat this.

You shouldn't do business like this.

Leave the dishes to the security office. I'll come for them tomorrow.

Enjoy.

Wait. Well...

He really shouldn't do this.

Gosh, I'm so tired.

Hi, Sung-jae.

To which town did you move this time?

-I didn't move. -What?

Why?

My bike broke down.

Then get it fixed.

It's broken seriously.

Did you get into an accident?

I think so.

What do you mean?

I don't know. I'm hanging up.

Hey.

Goodness.

He should help out restaurants in need.

He should catch bad guys.

He should take care of a runaway kid.

He's so nosy.

It's driving me crazy.

You're crazy in love with him?

Sorry. It sounded like that to me.

Are you really going to be like this?

It's your fault.

Women should know how to hide their feelings.

Why are you so transparent like jellyfish?

-Hey. -Okay.

Then be a squid.

I said to stop.

-Gosh. -Come over here.

Come here.

That idiot.

How did he fall down that he changed the whole part of it?

PALPAL NOODLES

We paid them,

but they delivered food for Hanyang. Does that make sense?

They must've done that to help you,

but you shouldn't have taken their help.

You know the rules.

I'm sorry. I was out of my mind.

I knew I shouldn't,

but I wanted to survive through this somehow.

I'm sorry.

These kids did nothing wrong.

It's all my fault, so blame me.

Please.

Forget it. We won't work with such kids.

Go ahead and hire them.

You're all fired.

I started this.

It's because of me.

So what can you do?

Let's go.

PALPAL NOODLES

Let's go.

I'm sorry.

How did they find out?

It's my fault.

I've worked in this neighborhood for ten years.

A lot of people are used to my face.

They saw me deliver ox-bone stew

and jjajangmyeon, so they must've

found out in the end.

It's not your fault.

One of us would've gotten caught even if it weren't for you.

To be honest, it must've caught their eyes since we delivered food for two places.

Hanyang might go out of business now.

Hanyang isn't the problem.

We're jobless now.

Don't be afraid.

-There are many Chinese restaurants. -But they're in different towns.

We'll have to part ways then.

Right.

I didn't think of that problem.

You may stay.

-Boss. -I already knew.

I knew you two were secretly selling food on Sundays.

You shouldn't underestimate us.

We're very sharp and incisive.

He recognizes even the slightest difference in the kitchen.

He doesn't look like it, but he's delicate.

Anyway, we owe

Jung-im greatly.

We wouldn't have been able to settle down if it hadn't been for her.

So

you may continue,

if you can handle the work.

Yes, I'll do it.

-Thank you. -By the way,

will it be okay for him to deliver food alone?

Shouldn't someone help him out?

No, it's all right.

I'll deliver food for both places anyhow.

Okay, I'll help him out.

-Dan-ah. -I'll have

more work in Palpal anyway

if he's away to deliver food for Hanyang.

Whether we suffer individually or together,

-it's the same. -You don't

need to explain all that.

-What? -He's right.

Just say you'll help him because you like him.

What are you talking about?

-Let's get to work. -Okay.

Boss.

Soon-ae.

Let's work.

Goodness.

Please accept it.

I'll give them more payment.

No, please don't.

I'm hanging up.

They're impossible.

We're here.

Go back.

-We won't. -What?

I'll do this until the end.

I can't let you get kicked out. It would really drive me crazy.

I'll smash everything,

no matter what it is.

From that moment,

I won't be a nice man.

-Kang-soo. -I'm so mad right now.

Those who trusted me all got fired.

You got humiliated in front of other people.

Now, Dan-ah will suffer too.

I think I'll destroy myself first

if I can't pull this off.

You're really...

HANYANG OX-BONE STEW

You threatened her.

Yes.

You've really gone insane.

Yes.

What should I do with him?

PALPAL NOODLES

Follow me.

I'll be polite to you since you're older than me.

Fine.

You've learned your manners.

It'll hurt a lot.

Gosh, how scary.

Please go easy on me.

Are you being sarcastic?

-Yes. -You'll regret it.

You may be the one to regret this.

When will we begin? I'm busy.

I'm starting now.

-You're better than expected. -I didn't do anything.

Did you major in dance by any chance?

What's your name?

Ji-yun Lee.

-And your age? -It's 23.

What do you do?

I work part-time at a coffee shop.

I see.

Don't ever act up again.

That's not going to happen.

What?

I love Mister.

-And? -Do you love him?

It's none of your business.

Does he love you?

I don't know. Go ask him.

Then can I love him?

Goodness.

Do as you please.

Thank you.

She's weird.

-What? -Whatever.

Go now. It's hard to talk to you.

-Why? -Just go.

Okay.

Goodbye.

Why are you crying?

It hurts.

You didn't control your power, did you?

-I did. -Liar.

I know you did it with full strength.

Mister...

Gosh, it hurts.

Hi.

What's wrong with them?

I guess they're frustrated.

Still, they shouldn't stay this way.

They won't be like this forever.

They'll come to their senses soon.

But they'll have to part ways once they do.

-Why? -It's hard to stay together

if they look for their own ways to earn money.

We're always together.

Do you have an interview coming up tomorrow?

Yes.

Come see me with the others after your interview.

-What is it about? -I'll talk to you then.

Good luck.

Thanks. Bye.

What are you going to do this Sunday?

I'm going to study.

Stop joking around.

It's for real.

-You'll study what? -This and that.

I bet you haven't studied anything before.

I have. My friends got into accidents often,

so I studied the traffic laws and insurances for a long time.

I'm the expert in those areas.

Why did you ask?

Well...

If you have time,

treat Ji-yun for a meal or something.

-Did you meet her? -Yes.

-She wanted to have a fistfight. -And?

-Did you? -She's not a match for me.

-Of course. -I told her to do as she wanted.

She's so weird.

She's someone who needs a guardian for sure.

I understood why you hid her the moment I saw her.

Go see her.

Maybe later. I'm busy now.

Why?

I need to study.

STARTING A BUSINESS WITH LITTLE CAPITAL

Honey, are you learning Korean?

Then are you counting the number of letters?

I get it. It's Magic Eye, isn't it?

Don't disturb me.

Hello.

Who are you?

I'm the applicant who had an interview this morning.

I see. Good luck.

Excuse me, sir.

-Yes? -Actually,

I always make it up to the final interview,

but fail to get accepted there.

I'm sorry, but could you please give me some advice?

Seeing how you make it up to the final,

you have enough qualifications.

Consider it bad luck.

Please tell me.

Think of me as your junior.

Really...

I really feel cornered.

I don't know.

Please.

Your face looks too naive.

It doesn't seem like you'll be enthusiastic in your social life.

I can tell you suffered a lot in a poor environment as a student.

Such people tend to be very passive

because they must never get fired.

Well, this is my personal opinion.

Don't take it to heart.

Welcome.

Hi.

-Are you alone? -Yes.

You don't need a girl?

-No, I don't need any. -It's the peak hours now,

so I can't get you a room without any girls.

-No, thanks. -I'll get you a pretty one.

-No. -Go in already.

Hello.

Why are you here alone?

Well... Just...

Did you find any songs to sing?

Yes.

Well... This.

I see. All right.

LIBRARY

Do you want some coffee? Aren't you eating lunch?

Aren't you even going to the restroom?

I'll appoint you as the head of this library.

HOW TO START A BUSINESS

We need to go now.

You're the best.

I just can't believe it.

I'm here in the library with you.

By the way,

what in the world are you thinking of doing?

I want to do something.

Something that'll save both Hanyang and those who got fired.

What is that?

Business.

But you just read a few books.

No, I've been preparing for this for a long time.

I thought I'd start a business

if I ever decide to stay at one place

even after spending two months there.

And what is it specifically?

Strongest Deliveryman

"Strongest Deliveryman"?

What is it?

It's the company name.

It specializes in delivery.

With who, though?

I think it's worth trying.

I'm in for whatever you suggest.

It sounds exciting.

I think it'll be successful.

I'm getting this good feeling.

What will you do?

I'm in.

Are you crazy?

We're recruiting employees. Please apply to our company.

Get out.

-You get out. You're fired. -What?

It's not too late to give up.

This country isn't good enough for people like you to run a business.

Do you like her?

Kang-soo, I got you.

I hope there's a way for both of us to be successful.

This is a capitalistic country.

Hanyang building was bought

-by Jung Ga... -It's not your doing?

Why are you accepting him? You're going to leave soon.

Let's not fight over things like this. We don't have much time left.

You're fired if you just leave.

I hope she doesn't go.
