(Yooseong Villa)

(Episode 2)

Let's go.

(Hyun Jin, I'm sorry.)

Do you really have to turn me into some kind of burden?

How are you a burden?

I am.

Like this thing stuck to you, weighing you down.

Hyun Jin.

You already have your hands full with Woo Joo,

and you still went out of your way to make a room for me here.

I'm never moving into this house.

So please...

Just leave me alone.

(BS Food Acceptance Announcement)

(BS Food Acceptance Announcement)

If only they'd sent it a few days earlier...

Then I wouldn't have fought with my sister...

I wouldn't have said those awful things to her...

Am I a burden to you?

- Who said that? - You did.

You haven't even tied the knot

and you've spent your whole life looking after me.

It's not like I'm nine anymore.

Oh, sweetie.

How did you grow up this fast?

Now I'm your mom and dad.

- Really? - Yeah.

I might not be able to give you the very best,

but I promise to give it my all.

So go ahead and invite as many guests as you want.

Leave it to me.

I'm sorry.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

We're closed.

Hey, clean this up.

Is something wrong?

Nothing's wrong.

It's just a little celebration.

I'm finally escaping that shoebox of a studio,

moving into a place where I can do whatever I want with it,

and

where I can actually put holes in the walls.

That's not it, is it?

Whenever something's up

you come here with soju.

Do I?

Remember when you got back from meeting your brother's in-laws,

you showed up with soju that time too.

This time it's a funeral.

I stood there

as the chief mourner for Sun Woo Jin.

He was apparently such a good person

that everyone was crying talking about him.

But I couldn't shed a single tear.

How could I cry when I barely knew him?

I found out he had a kid right there at the funeral.

A kid?

Yeah.

They asked me if I was going to raise him.

Are they out of their minds?

Expecting me to just shoulder that burden?

I've never taken care of anything

besides myself,

and I'm not about to start now.

You doing alright?

What's there to not be okay about?

I spent more years apart from him

than I ever spent with him.

But

there's one thing that's bugging me.

What's that?

I'll see you next time.

- Yes, take care. - Thank you.

Tae Hyung, it's me.

There's something I really need to tell you.

I'll be waiting for your call.

The last person

Sun Woo Jin called

was me.

Why did he call?

He said he had something important to say,

so what was it?

I gave up wondering

about his life ages ago.

Of course it's raining.

So annoying.

When I

land this job at BS Food,

there's one dish I keep thinking about.

(Work on recipes) (Ace the interview)

Alright.

I think food offers

so many advantages.

Ta-da.

Come on, try it, Woo Joo.

Here, say ah.

Hey, Sun Woo Joo.

I put so much effort into this

practicing for the interview,

so please, one little bite.

Here, ah.

How is it? Good, right?

Right?

Here, I'll give you a bigger piece with some meat.

Alright.

Come on, ah.

Oh, hey.

What a waste.

I don't want it.

No?

Yeah.

- Hyun Jin. - Se Yeon.

Did you just give up on moving around

and start living in the living room?

Look at this place...

And look at you two...

Parenting is no joke.

Tell me what to do. Anything.

Should I tidy up?

Where'd you put your robot vacuum?

Got a dishwasher anywhere?

Is the air purifier on?

What can I help with?

I'm great at pressing buttons.

Okay, then...

Could you...

How's that? Feeling a bit cooler now?

Oh, so much better.

I can actually live again.

That's a relief.

Finished.

Oh, right.

How's the interview prep going for my company?

Yes.

I'm going to crush the BS Food interview.

I have to get in

so I can raise Woo Joo right.

Love that energy.

Let me dig around at work

and get you all the inside info on that team.

Thanks so much.

Oh, but here's the thing.

What?

Who's going to watch Woo Joo

on interview day?

What's the problem? I can take care of Woo Joo that day.

Wait, don't you have work?

I'll kill thirty in the break room,

another thirty at the cafe,

then slip out

saying I need to hit the bank. I got you.

You're the best.

Okay, Woo Joo.

Hey.

You okay?

Woo Joo.

Let's get you cleaned up...

Wait, hold on...

Woo Joo, this is where you go potty...

- No, no. - Don't do it there...

Wrong spot.

- No. - Hold on tight.

- This is insane. - This is insane.

They're only adorable every now and then.

Way more precious

from a distance.

Same goes for Woo Joo.

Hey.

Seriously, how are you planning to do this by yourself?

Will you actually be fine?

I was only here for a bit and I'm already drained.

I'll manage.

Things should get better

once my arm's healed up.

So

That Pimang jerk who did this to your arm

hasn't even called?

No conscience,

no sense of responsibility.

Whatever, screw him.

Woo Joo and I will get by

perfectly fine without him.

He's probably off living his best life somewhere.

So this is the look I want for the kitchen,

and this is for the living room.

And over here,

I need the outlets completely flush with the wall.

This is where the TV and soundbar will go,

so I need a quad outlet.

That's really not an easy job.

Once the TV goes up, you won't even see it.

I can't wrap my head around

doing recessed work

in a place this old...

They said it's possible if you open up the floor.

I absolutely need

everything to look clean inside.

Well if you're such an expert,

do it yourself then.

If I tear up the floor like you're suggesting

and accidentally hit the plumbing,

we're looking at a flood.

And if this unit and the one downstairs both get water damage,

are you going to cover that?

That's exactly

why I'm spending money

to hire someone with your expertise.

I'm already giving you a deal,

a huge deal,

actually the biggest deal possible,

but you keep piling on requests

and I can't make any progress.

I'm begging you here.

We need this done right so we can start on the floors

and tiles,

and actually move in on time.

Oh my, look at the veins on his hands.

Gosh.

His knife skills are amazing.

What do we have here!

The bok choy salad has a bolder seasoning,

tailored for single folks.

For the wild chive greens doenjang tofu pancake,

I let the fragrance do the heavy lifting.

And this one's

purely for show.

Let me try some.

Of course.

The cafeteria is empty because everyone's off

to taste your cooking here.

This crowd is double

what we had at the "Today's Meal" launch.

Team 3 has topped sales three consecutive times now.

We couldn't have done it without the directors backing us.

Order volume has already tripled our original goal,

so we're still on for that production line expansion, correct?

And Director Kim,

you're aware we've got another project in development, right?

How many projects are you running at once?

Doesn't that wear you out?

If you all greenlight things quickly, it's really no problem.

I'll have the proposal to you

by three this afternoon then.

There you go again.

With you delivering winners back to back,

how come you keep having vacancies?

That's why we're hiring someone new soon.

Yeah.

Mr. Park.

Was the whole vein display

really necessary though?

I mean, I was impressed too.

How'd you lock down the production line expansion on the spot,

plus get the green light for the new product so effortlessly...

Was all that showmanship intentional?

You plan with your head,

but you persuade with your body.

Excuse me?

One cooking demo beats a hundred meetings.

They never

look at the actual documents anyway.

Classic you!

- Nice work. - Great work.

Since you'll be swamped with work again,

I'll take care of meeting the new candidates.

Here's the list of candidates.

(Park Yoon Seong) Thanks.

(Woo Hyun Jin)

Yoon Seong.

(What matters more than taste is the concept!)

Oh, my baby.

Finally in my hands.

(Purchase Now)

(Purchase Complete)

(D-Day Interview)

The police car comes with its sirens on.

The construction needs to be done by that time.

Alright, thanks.

Woo Joo.

Yeah.

I'm definitely getting this job today,

and I'm going to whip up an omakase-style feast for you.

Yeah, once I give Woo Joo breakfast, I'll leave...

I'm being dragged to Busan right now.

What?

Seriously, I think my boss has gone crazy.

I was forced to go to this food truck thing.

What do I do?

Should I just quit?

Or should I ask my mom for help?

No.

I can figure this out on my own.

Stop stressing and just focus on your trip.

I'm so sorry.

Sorry.

(Two hours before the interview)

(Next door)

(Not home) Excuse me, I live right next door.

(Downstairs)

Just a moment.

Hello, I'm Woo Joo's auntie.

I know who you are.

I've bumped into you a couple of times before.

I hate to bother you like this,

but I've got a job interview today,

and I was wondering if you could look after him

for a couple of hours?

Oh, what should I do...

We're heading to my in-laws' right now.

(Phone contacts)

- Hey, Ye Eun. - What, me?

Even if I'm off today, I can't just watch a kid.

I'm sorry.

Hey, Hyun Young.

I'm sorry.

My boyfriend and I are checking out wedding venues today.

(One hour before the interview)

What do I do now...

I'm completely stuck...

Great work today.

Let's get something refreshing.

Yeah, you all worked hard.

Is it a renovation or something?

I have a huge problem.

There's something I need to discuss with you right away.

I'm...

about to give up on Woo Joo.

What?

She's giving up the kid?

Just three hours, I swear.

So what you're saying is

you want me to watch the kid

while you're at your interview?

That's right.

I tried everything I could

to handle this myself,

but nobody compares to you.

You're super responsible,

and you and Woo Joo have amazing chemistry.

More like a disaster, actually.

Hey, get off.

- I said get off. - See?

Woo Joo is so attached to you.

To be honest, if you don't mind,

I'd love to raise Woo Joo here with you anytime.

Have you lost your mind?

I already said I won't take care of him.

And I'm not even his uncle.

Listen.

It's been over three years since we met,

and when a man and a woman spend two nights together,

words aren't necessary between them.

Seriously, what are you saying?

None of that would've happened if your arm was fine.

That's my point.

You owe me for this arm.

My poor baby Woo Joo.

Oh, come on.

I can barely look after him

with my arm like this,

and all the other applicants

are going to walk in with both arms working.

And BS apparently has amazing perks.

If I miss this interview,

what'll become of Woo Joo?

Raise him yourself,

and I'm cutting ties.

You can't just cut ties whenever you want.

We're connected by blood.

Sorry, but we don't share a single drop of blood.

But Woo Joo does.

Plus

we've already

stripped together.

Stripped? When did that happen?

The bubble wrap.

Be careful.

Don't let my baby get scratched.

Easy!

There we go.

The bubble wrap.

Come on...

This place belongs to Woo Joo,

so treat it like it's yours

and relax.

Woo Joo, bye.

Wait!

Don't you dare give him chocolate.

(Self-Introduction Letter Secrets)

These photos turned out like crap.

Yes, hello?

Danny.

Could you email me that document from before?

It's urgent, so please do it right now.

Oh, right now...

Yes, got it.

We should develop an approach based on consumer habits

across different age groups.

People living alone tend to go for cheap and easy meals,

which means they shop at convenience stores and buy small portions online.

(Interview Waiting Room)

Park Ji Won, Cha Young Seok, Joo Hyun Sun,

please come in.

(Interview Admission Ticket)

I wonder if Woo Joo's doing okay.

Hey, kid.

You only have to remember three things.

Don't move.

Keep calm and don't move.

Act invisible,

silent as a ghost, and don't move.

Okay.

Wait, did you actually get that?

Let's see.

Oh, come on...

Is it okay for a 20-month-old to have a hamburger?

For a 20-month-old,

meat patties and bread are a little premature,

but a few French fries should be fine.

Well, it says too early, not that it's forbidden.

Okay.

Time to introduce you to the finer things early.

Here.

Give it to me!

How is it?

Best thing you've ever tasted, huh?

Yeah.

Here, say ah.

Good, right?

Another life-changing moment for you, huh?

Dad.

Go on, have some more.

This is no joke.

For me, food serves

as a key that unlocks my memories.

Back when I was

(2025 First-Half BS Food Open Recruitment Interview)

rejected at the BS Food final interview three years ago,

I had a kimchi pancake

that my sister cooked for me.

That dish holds

a special place in my heart.

Whenever it rained,

to cheer me up,

my sister would throw in cheese one day

and corn the next.

All of those moments

are tucked away somewhere dear to me.

To me, that represents

what happens when food carries meaning.

Should I become part of BS Food,

I hope to create products

that effortlessly evoke

cherished memories for consumers.

What's that noise?

Why is there so much noise?

You have no reason to be crying.

I should be the one in tears!

No.

No.

Seriously...

Mama.

Because of you...

You're quiet again now that we're outside.

I want that.

- Why are you so heavy? - Dad.

I want that.

(In-law)

I want that.

Sweetie, you shouldn't do that.

Sweetie, where'd Mommy go?

No.

What?

Honey, over here, here!

I can't be the only one going down.

Now it's your turn to suffer.

Honey, how was your interview?

What the hell.

Come on.

Honey?

Are you insane? Why would you come here?

You're unbelievable, you liar.

Well,

I couldn't walk into an interview wearing a cast.

I just removed it

for a little bit.

That's just how things work.

Whatever.

Take him back.

Are you crazy?

You're calling me crazy

instead of saying thank you?

No, I'm asking if you're out of your mind.

How did you watch him?

And look at the mess you made at the company...

I'm a victim here too.

My personal sanctuary is now

destroyed property and mental trauma.

Take him, now.

Wait, I need to grab some diapers first.

Just take him.

I said wait a minute!

You can handle the diaper situation yourself.

I'm leaving.

Wait, where are you going?

You're supposed to help fix this, Uncle.

How many times do I have to say I'm not his uncle!

He's...

Woo Joo...

He disappeared.

- Woo Joo. - Sweetie.

Woo Joo!

- Sweetie, come here! - Woo Joo!

You go in there, hurry.

How am I supposed to go in?

You're the kid's aunt, hurry up and go in.

Sweetie!

Come here, sweetie, come here.

- Woo Joo! - Where'd the baby go?

Where?

Over there.

Woo Joo.

Woo Joo.

Woo Joo.

Woo Joo.

Woo Joo.

Woo Joo.

Seriously, let's never cross paths again.

Same goes for you, Woo Joo.

Look who's talking.

Woo Joo.

Your uncle...

I mean, Sun Tae Hyung.

What is wrong with him?

Did something happen today?

What did you do? What did you eat?

Oh, never mind.

Let's not think about him.

Thanks, you caught a fish.

With the baby out of my life, it's so peaceful.

Perfect.

Why aren't you answering your phone?

Your place is flooded right now.

I warned you about that foundation, didn't I?

The plumbing completely exploded.

If I'd been able to reach you yesterday,

none of this would've happened.

We lost our only chance to fix it.

Something unexpected came up yesterday

and my phone got wrecked...

I warned you this job was dangerous.

So what's going to happen to my place?

What do you mean what happens? The work's delayed.

We need to wait for it to dry

before anyone can start again.

Sir.

So when will I

be able to move in?

At least another month.

We need to wrap up

before the next team can come in.

Sir...

Oh, this...

The electrical work isn't done, so I'll come back later.

The walls need to be dry before we can start the wallpaper work.

This is the management office. There's a leak reported downstairs.

Please contact me.

(Electrical work, ten days)

(Wallpaper, ten days)

(Tile, ten days)

No.

(So where am I supposed to live...)

Stop. Please stop.

Come on, stop.

Stop!

Oh, no...

Thank you.

Just leave it there.

(Your delivery has been completed)

No.

With this heat and moisture...

my babies are going to suffer.

If that little brat

hadn't wrecked my phone...

No, if that woman

had never dumped the kid on me...

No!

If only we hadn't crossed paths at the funeral...

Actually, going back to the first family meeting...

No, all the way back to Pimang...

No!

I swear on my life

I will never deal with her again.

My precious babies.

I'm going to keep my babies safe.

Any chance I could stay one more month in the studio...

The next tenant already signed.

(Storage service) My piece measures 800 millimeters across.

You'd have to book immediately,

but the wait list is pretty long.

This is a tiny studio apartment. I can't fit furniture like a sofa in here.

Didn't you always say your home would never betray you?

Guess it betrayed you?

All right.

Keep coming.

Keep coming.

This way, this way.

Keep coming.

Keep coming.

Okay, this way, this way.

Not that way,

this way!

Oh my, hey...

Oh my, the peppers, the peppers!

Stop, stop.

Whoa, seriously,

you're driving all over the peppers!

These peppers are so plump and good.

Whoa, seriously.

What's going on?

Why did you come out here?

Is someone moving in?

Which floor are they going to?

You know...

As far as I know,

nobody left this morning...

Mom, they destroyed your peppers.

Oh my, what am I going to do?

Seems like we have a new neighbor.

Yeah.

Oh my, look at you! Here is our Summer...

and here is Spring...

and little Autumn is here too!

It's Daddy.

Hey, Lee Jae Min.

Shouldn't you be out on a delivery?

You checking crypto again?

Excuse me,

which unit are you heading to?

Okay, go to unit 206.

206?

Hi, Woo Joo!

- Just drop everything in the living room. - Yes.

Hold on,

what's happening here?

The baby's aunt.

You said I'm incredibly dependable.

You're super responsible.

And the baby and I have incredible chemistry.

And you and Woo Joo have amazing chemistry.

And you mentioned you'd like

to raise the baby here with me.

To be honest, if you don't mind,

I'd love to raise Woo Joo here with you anytime.

So you don't actually mean

you're moving in, do you?

Sure, this is Woo Joo's place,

but...

I'm already living here.

And why is that an issue?

We've

already

stripped

down together.

We've already stripped together.

Going forward,

skip the phone calls,

just knock on the door.

I appreciate

your cooperation.

Cooperation for what?

How does any of this make sense?

The two of us living together?

Then,

do you have 5.36 million won?

5.36 million won?

- What are you talking about? - Damage compensation.

This is the scene of the incident

from the day

you left the baby with me and disappeared.

(Seat replacement, one million) On that exact day

(Carpet cleaning, one million) when you left for your interview,

this is the tragic evidence

(Marble repair, one million won) of all the damage I suffered.

If you're still not convinced,

here's more from that same day.

On that exact day when you went to your interview,

thanks to the phone

Woo Joo wrecked,

I missed the contractor payment and the critical window,

which led to a complete catastrophe.

As a result, my move-in

was delayed by a full month.

The bill for all of this

is exactly 5.36 million won.

Wait,

you're not seriously

telling me you plan to stay here, are you?

This is simply temporary shelter

for myself and my babies.

But strictly speaking,

we're not even related,

and beyond that,

you're a man and I'm a woman.

Hang on,

do you actually view me as a man?

Of course not.

You're so not my type.

The feeling is mutual.

You're simply Woo Joo's aunt to me,

that's all you are.

Then it's settled,

we can live together just fine.

No, this still isn't okay.

Wait, hold on.

Why am I seeking approval from you

when someone else actually owns this place?

By your own logic,

the owner here isn't you,

it's Woo Joo.

When I think about it,

at the funeral, Woo Joo was the true chief mourner.

Which means Woo Joo is also the true owner.

So, what's your take?

Can I be your tenant?

Huh?

Yes.

Sure.

See? He said yes.

Ta-da.

At your service, Master.

Woo Joo, what's in your mouth?

Please tell me that's not chocolate.

For breakfast today we have

hormone-free chicken breast,

organic rice, locally grown cabbage,

and Korean carrots.

Need me to continue?

It's excellent for longevity.

This is decaf.

And this is for your Vitamin D synthesis.

Here, here.

Woo Hyun Jin.

Don't fall for this.

(Congratulations on passing the final selection)

Woo Joo!

I got the BS job!

Oh, congrats.

Woo Joo, clap.

Clap.

Give your auntie a "thumbs up".

That's right.

You know,

rather than hanging around here,

why not go out with your friends?

Step outside, breathe some fresh air,

treat yourself to something tasty.

Pick up some outfits for work.

Don't worry about Woo Joo or the house.

Say bye, Auntie's going out.

Woo Joo, I'll be back.

Does this make any sense?

He's a man, I'm a woman,

how can we live together?

Men and women should keep their distance.

Nobody's asking you to share a bed with him.

Why wouldn't you though?

Just be housemates, nothing more.

Honestly, I see no problem with it.

If anything, it's beneficial.

With childcare and chores,

you can divide it all evenly.

Evenly?

Not a chance.

Absolutely not.

Yesterday he stormed in

and I got caught off guard,

but tonight I will

definitely kick that man out.

All I need to do is survive one month.

If I just stay on that woman's good side,

I can save on rent and storage,

no problem.

What a touching effort.

Signing up to be a servant just for your furniture.

Classic move from a former lackey,

you really understand what people want.

It's freezing.

Not a servant, it's called strategy.

It's pure paternal devotion to my babies.

After those repair costs,

my account's down to 153,000 won,

and the loan payment is due soon.

But you know how things between men and women

can get complicated.

What if you end up

catching feelings for her?

Catch feelings? Not in a million years.

But that woman seemed really set on getting rid of you.

What if she doesn't back down?

Not going to happen.

Even fate is working in my favor.

She...

landed a job.

Hyun Jin.

You're not buying anything?

Let me buy you something to celebrate your job.

No, I already have enough clothes.

What are you reading?

I've got to find childcare for Woo Joo,

but nannies cost over 2 million won.

And daycares are all backed up...

Gosh.

Adapting to our company at first is going to be really demanding.

Exactly.

Woo Joo and I are both

going to need time to settle in.

You think that woman

will actually follow your grand plan?

Just wait and see.

She'll reach out to me in less than ten minutes.

Ten minutes.

Tick tock tick tock...

Just consider that guy

a short-term assistant.

Hire him, use him, endure him.

You hold all the power anyway.

Still, something about it feels wrong.

Hyun Jin.

Suppress that old-fashioned mindset of yours.

Just think about what benefits you now.

All right.

I got a message.

There's something pressing we should sort out,

don't you think?

Let's talk in the living room at seven tonight.

One month.

Exactly one month, no longer.

Let's do nine to six.

During my hours at BS,

I need you to look after Woo Joo completely.

Agreed.

And keep the apartment tidy while you're at it.

Just maintain things like you have been.

Auntie.

Yeah.

Okay.

But it's fifty-fifty.

In good conscience, as co-residents.

Agreed.

Water, gas, electric,

wifi included,

all split in half.

Done.

And since Woo Joo technically owns this place,

his diapers and formula

are also split evenly.

Fine, agreed.

Agreed.

(Roommate Agreement)

Pimang?

Looks like something's on it.

No, forget it. Don't buy it.

Pimang guy?

So you really are Woo Jin's brother?

- One random day, - One random day,

- another "universe" - another "universe"

- suddenly dropped into it. - Suddenly dropped into it.

Mommy.

What am I supposed to do with the baby?

We need to decide which of you will raise him.

What? You smiling?

This is not the time to smile.

Read the room.

Why did you...

Why did you just leave the baby with me?

I'll raise him.

I'll take care of Woo Joo.

Will you actually be fine?

Woo Joo and I will get by

perfectly fine without him.

Look at this place...

Seriously, how are you planning to do this by yourself?

I have to get in

so I can raise Woo Joo right.

Your place is flooded right now.

So when will I be able to move in?

At least another month.

Hold on, what's happening here?

So you don't actually mean you're moving in, do you?

Just consider that guy a short-term assistant.

With childcare and chores, you can divide it all evenly.

One month.

I need you to look after Woo Joo completely.

Done.

Agreed.

I appreciate your cooperation.

Make sure you knock

when you need me.

Hold on, you don't have work?

How can you look after Woo Joo while I'm at work?

You're so useless.

Just until I find my footing at the company.

Hello, I'm Park Yoon Seong, manager of Planning Team 3.

I really wanted Yoon Seong to only see me at my best.

- Let me have it. - No way.

What if you end up falling for that woman?

No, Woo Joo.

No!

Oh crap.
