Original subtitles

It's clean.

It's perfect for a single-person household.

Someone else also saw this place this morning.

The client liked it very much

and wanted to sign a provisional agreement.

There's some time left for you to decide.

I see.

I'll take this place.

Will you?

Then would you like to sign the lease right away?

Yes, let's do that.

Please excuse me for a moment.

Hey.

Where are you?

I'm at the store now.

When will you be done?

I'm not sure.

-Why do you ask? -Because of my business trip.

I have to leave tomorrow.

I want to see you before I leave.

Oh, I see.

What's with that reaction?

I was just thinking about which restaurant I should take you.

I should take you to somewhere nice.

Are you my mom or what?

No, I'm your girlfriend.

Did I make you wait for too long?

You said you were almost here, so I already ordered.

Okay. Great.

Were you busy? You didn't text me at all today.

Yes, I had a hectic day today.

I hope you stay busy while I'm on my business trip.

Why?

Then you can take your mind off other things.

What do you mean by that?

I just don't want you to worry too much about having to move out.

Let's sort things out when I come back.

I said I don't need anything else.

I don't want you to feel pressured to do something for me.

It's not that I feel pressured. I want to.

For you, I want to do everything I can.

Have you ever thought about quitting work?

Why all of a sudden?

I was going to tell you after I come back.

Actually, I applied to go work at the US branch.

I don't know the exact date yet,

but I'll go there by the end of this year at the latest.

Are you asking me to quit my job and go with you?

I think that'll be for the best.

How exactly?

I know it's quite sudden.

Are you saying we should run away?

I'd rather have you say that we're breaking free.

I'm fine with everything as it is.

I'm not.

Why do we have to go so far away?

We can just live together here.

You said that was crazy.

And going to the States isn't?

You said all you needed was me.

Yes, I did.

But that also means that I'm satisfied with where we are now.

Not for me.

Everyone's tormenting you, and I can no longer watch you suffer.

Let's talk about it again when I come back from my business trip.

Okay.

Don't keep it all to yourself and stress yourself out.

Be good while I'm gone.

Okay.

Have a safe trip.

Bye.

Bye.

LEASE AGREEMENT

Hello.

Hello.

Good morning.

Hello.

Hey, Gyeong-seon.

I know this may sound like

I'm blaming everything on Jun-hui.

I think Jun-hui got a little impatient

because of the situation I'm in.

He made a rash decision.

I don't think he thought it through.

He's not that thoughtless.

He wouldn't have discussed it with me if it was a rash decision.

He would've gone straight to the realtor and list his place for sale.

What are you guys planning to do?

I know me saying this might upset you,

but don't think that I'm with him on this.

Are you saying Jun-hui is the only one

who's desperate about living together?

I'm pretty sure I'm more desperate than he is.

To be honest,

I don't care what my parents or you might say

or do to me.

I can put up with anything.

I would like to do

as Jun-hui suggests without considering anything else.

I even thought to myself

that I might be able to dodge the blame

if I hid behind Jun-hui.

But...

I think I'm more selfish than I thought.

I keep saying

that I don't want Jun-hui to get blamed

as if that is why I'm being hesitant.

But to be honest, I'm only pursuing what I want.

I still have a lot of things that I want to do.

I won't give up on everything

just to be with Jun-hui.

I will date him like how I've been doing

and carry on with the things that I must do and want to do.

Should I thank you or hate you?

I'm sorry.

This is who I am.

Look me in the eye.

Have you changed or have you always been like this?

Whatever it is,

I would appreciate it if you could think positively about it.

I have right to be disappointed in you, right?

Is it that bad?

I can't stand you any longer.

You said it yourself

that you put yourself before Jun-hui.

Keep your word.

-Please leave the door open. -Okay.

-Hi. -It's me.

Hey.

Why do you still sound so down?

You don't sound that cheerful either.

It's your day off. What are you up to?

Nothing special.

You can't wait to see me, right?

I'm doing just fine without you.

I'm dying to see you.

We're almost done.

-Who was that? -Hang on a second.

I'll be down in a minute.

Hey.

Is someone at your place?

Yes, someone is here to repair the water purifier.

I see.

I have to get back to the meeting.

-I'll call you later. -Okay, bye.

I set the table. Come on.

Are you going to starve yourself?

Why did you kick her out

if you were going to worry like this?

No parent can persuade a determined child.

Shut the door.

Goodness.

Gosh, this is frustrating.

I can't believe this.

Did Jin-a really move out?

Take a seat if you haven't eaten already.

What about Mom?

She said she doesn't want to eat.

Did you...

hear anything from Jun-hui?

Like what?

All I heard is that he's in China for a business trip.

Oh, about Jin-a moving out.

Maybe Jin-a didn't even tell him about it.

I thought it was weird that she was rushing it.

She caused trouble again.

My gosh.

Don't mention anything about it to Jun-hui.

I won't even if you ask me to.

He'll fly home right away if he finds out.

But Dad,

you should do something about Mom.

Provoking them won't solve anything.

He doesn't really show it,

but Jun-hui has a huge ego.

He doesn't let anyone mess with him,

but he's putting up with this because it's us.

But how long do you think that will last?

He can only take so much.

You've got so much stuff for a person living alone.

I know.

I'm putting you through so much trouble on your day off.

I'll buy you a really nice meal when we get the next paycheck.

You've got a long way to go.

Aren't you forgetting about your rent, water bills,

electricity bills, gas bills, and all the other bills?

-I already feel suffocated. -Already?

What are you trying to say?

Your job, your family, and Jun-hui...

Gosh.

Just eat.

Are you sure about this?

I have to be even if I'm not.

I like that attitude.

You'll need it to survive.

Right.

-That's good. You did a great job. -Thanks.

The legal team will have a separate meeting with Yoon Jin-a.

-That's a relief. -Right.

By the way,

what are you planning to do with Mr. Kong?

-You see, -Yes.

nothing is completely over until you tie up all the loose ends.

-You know what I mean. -I do.

As soon as things get wrapped up, I will...

You know.

It's about time you get a promotion.

You shouldn't be stuck in one position.

-Right. -Even when you work,

you know...

Dragging things out will only get you...

You know.

I'll take care of it as soon as possible, sir.

I know you feel responsible as you represent all the female employees,

but no one will benefit if the word gets out.

The company's reputation matters, too.

I am aware of that, sir.

I think we must follow the proper procedures

and reprimand those who are responsible to protect the company's reputation.

We'll set up a fact-finding committee.

After Mr. Nam gets out of it?

Are you trying to put our reputation at risk?

Will you be satisfied once you bring the whole company down?

We have to find a way to minimize the risks.

We can't let this small issue jeopardize our company's future.

As a general manager, you must know how to deal with matters objectively!

Stop going over the line.

I didn't give you that position so that you can side with the female employees.

Jeong Yeong-in.

Come to your senses.

Just get it over with.

Suck it up and apologize publicly.

It's easier said than done.

Listen,

things might get out of hand

after the committee is set up.

Do you want to end up in court?

There are many things that I can use as evidence. I feel victimized.

Think about your family first.

Suck it up just this once. Would you rather lose your job?

Even if I apologize publicly,

I'll still be reprimanded.

Hey, listen.

If you handle it quietly, at least you won't lose your job.

They'll move you to a team

where you won't have to work with Yoon Jin-a.

If that doesn't happen, I'll talk to the management on your behalf.

You seem to care a lot about this issue

when you rarely get involved with other people's business.

Hey, it's because you vent to me all the time.

If you want me to stop caring, I will.

No, don't be like this. I'm seriously going nuts!

You can get this through.

I'm from the law firm that takes care of the company's--

You already told me over the phone.

I wasn't sure what you'd like, so I ordered both coffee and tea.

-I'll have the tea. -Sure.

I asked you to meet with me because...

You probably know already,

but I'd like to talk to you about the sexual harassment issue.

I've already told the management

that I want the assailants to apologize publicly

and receive proper disciplinary action.

I am not seeking any form of settlement

or mediation.

Hang on a second.

Why do you call them "assailants"?

We haven't concluded that you're the victim in the case.

-Pardon me? -You must be baffled.

You see, this is just the beginning.

I'm sure you've read about similar cases on the news.

How did those cases pan out?

Didn't you feel frustrated?

There's no conclusion. Nothing really comes out of it.

Why do you think that is?

Let me put it in layman's terms.

JIN-A: I HAD A GREAT TIME. GOOD NIGHT.

Well...

When things like this go public, everyone will say the same thing.

"The woman is partially responsible. She's actually the one to blame."

Even worse, people will say you wanted to get--

Hold on.

Where did you get this footage?

Is this the original file?

And these messages...

I've never sent these messages to Mr. Nam.

-I'll show you what I have on my-- -It'll be too late.

What I'm saying is that you won't be able to reverse

people's negative impression of you.

I can understand how frustrated you must be

and how unfair all of this is.

But I'd like you to think it over again.

Try to think about what will benefit you.

"Benefit"?

I've already lost too many things.

I got myself into this knowing that things may get harder.

I see. All right.

Mr. Nam is considering suing you for defamation.

If you sincerely apologize to him before he goes ahead with it,

he might change his mind.

Ms. Yoon.

I'm speaking from my experience.

In cases like this, nothing good comes out of dragging things out.

I'm telling you this because I feel bad for you.

I feel bad for you.

Did you study hard and become a lawyer to cook up schemes like this?

Go tell them that they have underestimated me.

I will never let them have their way.

AIRPORT LIMOUSINE

Are you still at work? Why aren't you answering my calls?

-Hey. -Where are you?

-I'm home. -Then why didn't you pick up the phone?

What is it?

Is Jun-hui there?

-What? -He called me.

He said he couldn't reach you.

He was as agitated as he was back when you had gotten into an accident.

-So, what did you say? -We talked for a bit,

and I ended up telling him that you moved out.

Hey.

You're back.

I guess you didn't get lost.

Come in.

You didn't eat yet, did you?

I only have ramyeon.

Or maybe not.

Let's go get something to eat. I haven't had dinner yet.

I want to talk first.

Okay.

Take a seat.

I'll just sit here.

I don't have a table yet.

-We can use this-- -It's fine.

Right, I do have a tray.

I don't cook at home,

so I haven't even unpacked the kitchenware.

I thought you'd be back tomorrow.

Things ended a day earlier.

If you told me earlier, I would've gone to the airport to--

Why didn't you tell me?

Because you didn't want to worry me?

I know you'll think that I always use the same excuse,

but that really is the reason.

We agreed to talk about it after I come back.

Why were you in such a rush?

I was only gone for a week. What was so urgent?

Then what about you?

I heard you were going to sell your place.

I told you I'm going to the States.

Do you think I don't know you?

You were trying to help me out financially.

-Am I wrong? -What's wrong with that?

I'm going to do everything I can do for you.

What would that make me look like?

I worry about how Gyeong-seon would think of me

as much as you worry about how my mom would think of you.

I don't want to disappoint her anymore.

I can't do that.

Then what about me?

Do you expect me to do nothing?

What am I to you?

Am I just a convenience to you?

-Why would you say that? -You're making me think that way.

It's not like you have to do something for me.

Can't we just love and support each other?

And what's that going to do?

Do you think we'll live happily ever after

if we keep enduring everything?

There's no need to be sarcastic.

I can't keep living like this.

What do you mean?

Those people who expect us to give up on our own...

I can't stand them anymore.

Let's not think too negatively.

Let's be calm and give it another thought--

I already made up my mind.

This has never happened at your store.

I found a few ingredients that were expired,

so I took them out.

I forgot to take them out.

Is something worrying you?

Can you make it go away if I tell you?

Go ahead and tell me.

If it's regarding the store, I'll help you out

in every way I can.

The store always runs systematically, so it's fine.

Your drink will get cold. Drink up.

I'll try to come up with a promotional idea

so that we can brighten up the mood.

Things aren't going so well at the company right now,

so it'll take a while.

Is there something wrong?

There are some things going on.

Do you not meet up with Jin-a as often these days?

Did you lose your best friend to your brother?

What's this?

We're both grown-ups.

We're not kids.

That's exactly why.

I started this so that you can realize what you should

and should not do as a grown-up.

Must you go this far?

I guess you're not ready yet.

I have three kids.

My youngest daughter is still in kindergarten.

It's natural to make mistakes once in a while as you work.

If I get fired, it won't just end with me.

That'll be it for my entire family.

If you were so worried about that,

why were you so enthusiastic about things outside of work?

How would you feel if your youngest daughter

goes through the same thing I went through?

Watch your goddamn mouth!

Do you want to know why I'm doing this?

I don't want to be a shameful daughter.

Because my father has never done anything to be ashamed of.

I made a mistake.

Fine, I'll apologize.

I'm sorry, all right? I'm sorry.

I've wronged you.

I'm really sorry. I promise it won't happen again.

I'm really sorry.

Please write an apology on our company notice board.

If you don't, I'm going to upload this recording file.

Come in.

You wanted to see me?

Have a seat.

If it's going to be brief, I'd rather listen to you here.

Okay.

I heard you met the attorney.

Ms. Yoon, this isn't something you should be stubborn about.

I know you are still young,

so I understand you can confuse

recklessness with courage.

I'm not that young or foolish enough

to do something like this without thinking it through.

If we take this to court, you know,

the odds may be against you.

You might end up with a criminal record.

Is that what you want?

You won't even be able to get a job elsewhere.

I appreciate your concern.

My gosh, how frustrating.

You know...

Haven't you had enough fun

pretending to be the victim?

So,

are you going to act like you're the victim now?

I already ate.

I didn't.

Is there something going on?

Can I have the deposit if your place gets sold?

I want to take a break without having to worry about money.

You did work all your life because you had to take care of me.

I didn't say that because I wanted some acknowledgment from you.

I'm just trying to say that I need to recharge myself.

I've been running this store for quite a while.

Is this because of...

Don't jump to conclusions.

This has nothing to do with Jin-a.

Do whatever you want.

You can stay unemployed forever.

I'll take care of you from now on.

Ms. Seo.

I wouldn't let you support me for the rest of my life.

Yes, we should take that into consideration.

Okay, I'll call you back.

Did you cast a spell or something?

Pardon?

Mr. Son called from the States.

His son's having some trouble adjusting to the school there.

So he wants to come back.

Does that mean I have to go right away?

I thought you wanted to go as soon as possible.

Did you change your mind again?

No.

Bye.

Isn't your flight at night?

I'm going to have some fun before I leave.

Jun-hui.

Are you sure you can go to the States?

What do you mean?

You said your girlfriend didn't agree to it yet.

Just leave.

See you.

PERSONNEL APPOINTMENT

JEONG YEONG-IN, PROMOTED

KIM DONG-U, PROMOTED LEE YE-EUN, PROMOTED

PERSONNEL TRANSFER AND PROMOTION

YOON JIN-A, PROMOTED TO SECTION CHIEF OF PAJU LOGISTICS CENTER

Congratulations on your promotion.

Stop acting like you're fine.

Are you okay?

That position you got didn't even exist before.

It's hard to see that as a promotion.

I know that.

And you're still smiling?

Aren't you upset about it at all?

Should I go to Mr. Jo's office and throw a fit?

He'll welcome that since he's dying to blame something on you.

That's why

I'm going to endure everything by working hard and staying quiet.

People are going to think that you're incredibly persistent.

That's my goal.

I'm proud of you.

I learned it from you.

You are far better than I am. I'm impressed.

I learned a lot from you.

You know, I can do anything

when I put my mind to it.

Don't get too cocky now.

Stop putting on an act.

You can be happy about your promotion.

You don't need to tiptoe around me.

You are the one who should stop putting on an act.

To be honest, you're getting punished, not promoted.

You can sue them if you want to.

I was expecting this much, so I'm not even that surprised.

Don't worry. I'll fight through

and make an impressive come back.

You know me.

That's enough.

Don't push yourself to change too quickly.

I thought you liked it.

I didn't know you'd go this far.

You're so persistent. You're unbelievably tough.

Should I buy you some congratulatory drinks?

Shouldn't you meet Jun-hui on your birthday?

I have time. He has a meeting, so we're going to meet later.

Forget it. You can use that spare time to doll yourself up.

What are you talking about?

-Who knows? -What?

You might've made a reservation for a makeover in Gangnam.

It's not our first night together.

My gosh, does that mean...

-Did you already... -What are you saying?

Thank you.

Are hiccups contagious?

They always make you drink too much.

It reminded me of the day we first held hands.

You definitely made the first move on me.

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

-Happy birthday, dear Jin-a -Happy birthday, dear Jin-a

-Happy birthday to you -Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday and congratulations on your promotion.

I'm so proud of you, Jin-a. You rock.

Thanks, Dad.

I guess your company is full of incompetent employees.

I can't believe they promoted you.

Don't be rude to your sister.

Do I have to say "Congratulations"?

That's so uncool.

Just admit that you're shy, okay?

Shouldn't you be meeting Jun-hui on a day like today?

He has to work.

Here, guys.

You're a year older now,

and you got promoted too.

Now, you just have to meet a nice guy and get married.

A few Seoul National University graduates from good families

want to meet you.

I'll pick the best one out of them

and arrange a blind date for you.

Here, cheers.

Cheers, Jin-a.

Don't even think about arguing with me on this happy day.

I won't change my mind anyway.

I never tried to change your mind

because I know it's impossible.

But I've also made it clear to you.

I will not change my mind either.

You can't change my mind.

Shut your mouth before I start saying worse things.

Enough already.

You should eat, Jin-a.

Have some shame, will you?

You're seeing a guy who has nothing to be proud of.

How could you be so shameless?

Do you know how important family background is?

It tells us how that person's future will pan out.

-Mom, please! -You need to keep this in mind, too.

I want you to cut ties

with all the girls you know before you get your PhD.

If you're dragging this on, thinking that

you'd be able to marry Jun-hui later on,

you should give up now.

I won't let him set foot in this house

for the life of me.

What? Are you leaving?

Mom said she won't let Jun-hui set foot in this house.

What am I to do when I miss him?

I should go see him.

Jin-a.

Jin-a.

My gosh.

The meeting is over. I'm on my way.

Take your time and enjoy your meal with your family.

Should I drop you off before we hit the main road?

Yes.

You can drop me off here.

Something happened at home, right?

You know my mom.

Why? Did Jin-a say something?

Did I keep you waiting long?

This place is really nice.

What is this?

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

I GIVE ALL MY HEART TO YOU, JIN-A

It's so beautiful.

Do you like it?

Yes, I love it so much.

How is it? Does it look good?

Obviously,

it's not as beautiful as you are.

I must say,

the fact that this makes me so happy...

makes me realize that I'm so materialistic.

It's really beautiful.

It looks great on you.

Thanks.

Thanks for today.

The process was quite unpleasant,

but I did get promoted.

Aren't you going to congratulate me on that?

I don't want to force you.

To tell you the truth, I'm annoyed by it as well.

I guess they want me to suffer, but I'm not scared.

I'm going to show them how tenacious and persistent I can be.

I'll be going to the States soon.

Come with me.

I'm not asking you to forget about what needs to be resolved at work.

They need to be reprimanded.

But you don't have to stay here for that, you know.

I know there are many things stopping you.

That's why I was hesitant to ask you this,

and I feel bad too.

I know everyone will think that you're running away from the situation,

and it'll hurt your pride.

But...

I'm just going to ignore it.

I can no longer watch you suffer.

Let's leave...

together.

If it was the old me,

I probably would have...

left with you in a heartbeat

even if you were leaving right now.

I really would have.

But you see...

I think I have...

matured too much to do so.

You turned me...

into a real grown-up.

Get home safely.

You really can't come with me?

I'm sorry.

Hello.

Thank you.

Bye.

SAVE THE DATE FOR OUR WEDDING APRIL 28TH, 2018

GROOM: YOON SEUNG-HO BRIDE: KIM HUI-WON

What brings the busy restaurant owner to call me?

I got the wedding invitation.

-Did you get it? -Yes.

I sent it to you because you asked for it,

but you don't need to come.

It's my brother's wedding. You don't need to be there.

Plus, it's so far away.

I'm going there to see you.

How does it feel to have your brother get married before you?

I'm pretty calm about it.

Don't lie to me.

Am I supposed to cry?

Are you sure you're totally fine with it?

Things like this don't upset me anymore.

You sound like an old lady.

We'll be turning 40 soon!

Gosh, let's hang up. I'll see you at the wedding.

-My gosh. -See you.

How gorgeous.

Look at the sky. It's gorgeous.

It's so pretty. Look at it.

Look.

-I'm looking. -What are you looking at?

I told you to look at the sky.

Look at the sky, not me.

You're prettier.

That's a given.

I know.

What's wrong with you?

What's up with the compliment?

Are you sick?

I'm just stating the truth.

There are so many people around.

-Thank you for coming. -Congratulations.

Microphone test. One, two, three.

One, two, three.

I'd like to make an announcement.

I'd like to ask the guests to come inside.

The groom's guests can sit on the right. The bride's can sit on the left.

The wedding ceremony will begin soon.

So I'd like the guests

to come inside and start taking their seats.

Stop. I knew it.

-Ms. Geum, it's been so long. -My gosh.

-Hey. -She's my daughter.

I can't believe you have a daughter.

She's such a handful.

Come here. Let me hold you.

Then give her to me. I'll take her.

-Go ahead. -Do you want to live with me?

-Goodness. -Why are you so cute?

-She doesn't like you. -Do you want to go to your mom?

-How's your wife doing? -She's fine.

-Thank you. -Hey.

Hello. Thank you for coming.

Hello.

How have you been?

-Hello. -When are you going to get married?

Your mom's so worried about you.

You should hurry up.

Are you seeing anyone? Should I set you up?

She has a boyfriend, but she's not getting married.

Really?

Then why aren't you getting married?

-You're only getting older. -I know.

Your brother's getting married before you.

-Don't smile like you're fine. -Exactly.

-You should get married as well. -She's right.

Enjoy.

I know.

No, I'll take care of it.

I'll be right there.

Yes, meet me at the airport. Bring your passport.

Yes, okay. Bye.

My gosh.

I kind of overheard. Is it an urgent business trip?

I told you about the slow deal going on in Hong Kong, right?

They suddenly want to sign the contract.

I should go before they change their mind.

So you're just going to miss the wedding?

My flight...

Okay.

Sorry.

Shouldn't I talk to your parents before I leave?

They're probably really busy.

Then can you say goodbye to them for me?

Just a second.

Hello?

Yes.

The terms will stay the same.

Of course. Tell them we'll comply with everything.

That's the only way we can make them sign it.

Yes.

Yes.

Okay. Bye.

Can you stop frowning at me like that?

I need to go. It's a really important contract.

You know that.

Okay, fine. You should go.

I promise I'll get you an expensive gift.

Hello?

Yes, I know.

Yes.

Why is that important?

There's no need to worry about that. Okay.

I'll see you there. I'm going now. Bye.

I really need to go. I'll call you.

Hello?

Yes. Hello?

Jun-hui, long time no see.

-Hey. -How have you been?

-Look who it is. -When did you get here?

-Just now. -Let's go.

-Okay. -You look great.

But when I saw him,

it felt like I was with him just until yesterday.

I would've run over and hugged him.

I kept wishing that Jin-a wouldn't be that happy.

It sounds like you still have feelings for her.

Jin-a, you'll get yourself in trouble.

Are you saying you're going to start over with her?

Can you really be around me

as if nothing has ever happened between us?

After a certain moment,

I tried to think of it this way.

That was the furthest our relationship could go.

That was the best we could do.
