The Queen of Office

What's this? What's going on?

Ms. Kim is reading people's palms.

Palm reading?

Ms. Kim's a certified palmist.

Wow.

Jeomsun even reads palms?

You've just invested some money, haven't you?

How did you know?

Just a little in stocks.

A hometown friend said it was a sure thing,

so I invested my entire bonus.

You need to sell all your holdings before the end of this month,

as it will only be downhill thereafter.

Really?

Next.

Did you really invest in stocks?

What's wrong? Is there something bad?

Jeong Juri,

you will soon be under the spotlight.

Under the spotlight?

You are fated

to get a lot of attention

at the top of the charts.

Me?

Next.

You might hit the big time.

Wow.

Who's next?

- Go for it, Mr. Jang. - Go on.

I'm not into this stuff.

Go ahead.

It's really uncanny.

Please.

I don't care for these things.

I don't need my palms read.

Mr. Cabbage Patch Head,

in your past life...

You traveled across vast expanses of land.

Genghis Khan?

You were a fly.

And I

should wash my hands.

Hey!

Stop right there!

Hey! Hey, Kim!

It's been 16 years since the Asian financial crisis.

Korea now has 8 million contract workers.

South Koreans' foremost dream is no longer national reunification.

It's getting a permanent position.

While everyone else yearns for a permanent position,

there is someone who has consciously opted to be a contract worker.

Ms. Kim is Korea's first ever contract worker by choice.

Ms. Kim never works for free.

She doesn't forge cumbersome interpersonal ties.

After her three month contract period, she always leaves Korea.

But no one knows how she's come to call herself "Ms. Kim"

and chosen to be a serial contract worker.

Why isn't it in yet? It's past noon already.

It'll be here.

Pipe down. I want to eat.

There's a 20% Luxuitton purse sale on Super Homeshopping today.

I need to get one before they sell out.

Wait a minute. This is your first payday.

Yes, it is.

What are you going to do with your paycheck?

My paycheck?

It's my very first, so I want to get my parents thermal underwear.

Then I have to pay rent,

and I was thinking of getting a purse.

Good thinking.

It's just that your purse seems rather worn out.

Yeah, no one these days has a purse like yours.

As strapped as we may be, we can't skimp on basic necessities, right?

So make sure you get a new purse, okay?

Okay.

[You have a message from DH Bank]

I think we got paid.

Why?

This isn't fair.

How is it unfair?

You took out a student loan. It's only right that you pay it back.

I know,

but couldn't I pay it back in smaller installments?

How can you take my pay like this?

How am I supposed to get by?

We're only doing this for your own good.

The longer you drag this out, the more interest you'll have to pay.

And what if you default again? Your credit history will suffer.

But still,

how can I get by on just this for a month?

This is what's wrong with young people these days.

When you're young, you should live off your dreams, not food.

Dreams aren't edible.

[DH Bank Account Withdrawal: $824.00, Remaining Balance: $16.20]

Ms. Kim.

What is it?

Um...

Could I borrow...

No. It's nothing.

I was planning to get it for you this month anyway.

Of course.

So I'll see you at the mall after work then.

Okay.

I love you, too.

Mr. Shin,

it looks like you'll be making yet another offering to your girlfriend.

Some of us have to slave away for a new purse,

but for others, a new purse is just a phone call away.

Life is so unfair.

It's me who has it the hardest.

I've never gotten to enjoy any of my bonuses.

It's like virtual game money.

Does your girlfriend work at the tax office?

She's so punctual about taking her cut of your paycheck every month.

You just got paid too. Aren't you getting your girlfriend anything?

There's no need.

I service her with this fine body every single day.

You go, Macho Gu.

I wonder if your girlfriend agrees with your assessment.

Pardon?

I don't quite get what part of that body is so fine.

Speaking of taking care of one's body...

Look at her. Just how much more money does she want to make?

You don't say.

She made so much already with all the overtime work.

How much?

You haven't heard the rumor?

She makes up to...

Really?

She's really something.

How much? I want to know, too.

How much is it?

[Rent $400 Food $200]

[Transportation $80]

Excuse me, Juri.

Did you enjoy your lunch?

Yes. What about you?

I did, too.

Um...

Here.

What's this, Mr. Gye?

They say you're supposed to use your first paycheck on your family,

and you're my work family, so...

I don't know if you'll like it.

But I haven't gotten you anything.

Thank you.

Why a rock?

Your birthday is in March.

Aquamarine is the birthstone for people born in March.

This must be expensive.

How much do you think I could get for it?

Pardon?

I mean, it's really pretty.

Mr. Hwang, this is the invoice and promo materials for Super Homeshopping.

Good.

The preliminary meeting will be this afternoon, right?

Yes, sir.

The very future of our red vinegar rides on this.

If we can't get a time slot, these babies won't survive,

so you must make this happen. Understood?

Yes. Don't worry, sir.

She got laid off.

She was traumatized by that experience.

Mr. Mu, if you have something to say,

please use your lips, not your eyes.

Pardon?

I'm only saying this because you have been staring at me for quite some time.

Oh, that's because we have to go shopping together, I mean,

we have to go to that Homeshopping meeting.

Oh, right. I'll get everything ready, sir.

Okay.

Those are heavy. let me at least take one.

No, Mr. Mu.

They're both my responsibility, sir.

You should watch yourself today and not mess anything up.

No yelling like you did at the Russian meeting.

Be courteous and obliging, as they have the upper hand.

Yes, sir.

Then it'll be smile mode today.

Don't smile! Don't do that!

They'll never sign with us if you do that.

Don't just walk off when someone's talking to you!

So once again, we ask you for your help.

Please help us sell these babies of ours.

We'll be sure to do our very best, too.

Of course you'll need to do your very best.

You do know that other home shopping TV networks

won't take this on since it's not popular, right?

It'll be 20 bottles per box, buy one box, get one box free.

We need a few dozen Y.Jang soy sauce sets to give away.

A three-month interest-free plan and a $10 discount on ARS orders.

And also,

a box of 12 instant noodle packets as a special gift offer.

Oh. And bring us 20 smartphones to giveaway through a phone raffle.

I think that should do.

[Choi Daseong (34) Merchandiser Ninth year at Super Homeshopping Annual salary:$48,000]

But that would put us in the red.

So is this deal off?

That's not what we meant.

We'll do our best to put a great package together.

We'll count on you two again to sell the entire stock.

Of course. Don't you worry.

Every minute, I'll flash "Limited Offer" and "Expected to be Sold Out."

I'll be ramming that in.

[Han Jeongsu (35) Production Director Sixth year at Super Homeshopping Annual salary: $45,000]

They're having a field day.

Last holiday season, they were begging us for more of our gift sets.

Will you really meet all of their demands?

What choice do we have?

We'll just consider it money spent on advertising.

I'm so sorry.

Are you okay?

I'm okay, Mr. Mu.

Oh, no.

- Your pants. - Oh...

- I'm fine, Mr. Mu. - Your pants are soaked.

Why don't you change into these for now?

Do you have a pair of long pants, by any chance?

Pardon?

No. I don't.

Never mind then.

Mr. Mu,

may I go to the restroom to wipe this off with paper towels?

Of course.

Thank you.

Oh, man.

Wait a minute.

She's never worn a skirt to work, has she?

Huh?

I guess not.

I've only see her in pants.

I know.

You're hurt.

Don't touch me.

Don't you think you might need something for that?

I told you not to touch me!

I told you to keep your hands off.

That's right.

Her legs.

Huh?

Do you think

maybe she has...

What? Cankles?

Yeah! Cankles.

Otherwise,

why would she wear nothing but dress pants?

Remember?

She was in a long dress when we saw dancing at that bar.

She was?

I think Ms. Kim probably has very nice legs, too.

What? Nice legs, "too"?

Are you implying that she's pretty elsewhere?

Huh? Is that what I just said?

But wouldn't most people consider Ms. Kim to be very pretty?

Jeonghan,

"pretty" is a word you use to describe human beings.

Then why did you kiss...

It wasn't a kiss.

It was just an accident,

like how you might accidentally walk into a telephone pole.

So have you totally gotten over her?

What's there to get over?

I was just a fly on her lips and she was just a telephone pole I banged into.

The end. All clear!

Ms. Kim, there's something I'd like to ask you.

Don't ask.

Please

lend me some money.

After paying you your overtime pay

and making my student loan payment,

I only have $16.20 in my bank account.

That's not even enough for water, let alone food.

If you could just give back some of the overtime pay,

I could pay you back a little at a time.

What's this?

Machu Picchu?

Is Ms. Kim

partying it up at a place like this with my hard earned pay?

Hola.

You're new.

Are you looking for a partner?

You don't have one?

How about a dance with me?

No.

I'm here to see the lady who just walked in.

She's tall and wearing a hairnet clip.

You're here to see Sun?

Sun?

Jeomsun?

She's upstairs changing.

Want a drink here with me in the meantime?

Oh, no. I'm only here to meet Ms. Kim.

Plus, I don't have any money.

That's okay. Here.

On the house for a lovely lady.

No, thanks. I'll just go.

Listen,

do you know what a pain Jeomsun is?

She billed me

for overtime work that she did,

but she has yet

to treat me to a meal.

Shouldn't you go down and see her?

The girl seems distressed.

My workday is over.

It's none of my concern.

Has she just started out as a contract worker?

Yup. She's a greenhorn.

Still wet behind the ears.

She reminds me of you when you first started out.

Me?

When was I ever like her?

Don't you remember?

She's drunk quite a lot. Will she be able to make it to work tomorrow?

Why don't you send her home?

Leave her be.

I'll pay her tab.

[$400 deposited from Kim Sukja]

Who is it?

Parcel delivery.

You have your own bills to pay.

Why didn't you tell me you didn't have enough for rent?

I'm your mother. I can help you with that.

Did the landlady call you?

And what's this purse?

You got it?

I was told it looks just like the real one,

so I got it for $150 at Seonga's store.

You'll be the death of me.

You paid $150?

You wasted all that money on a stupid purse?

You should've used it to get your back treated.

How can you call it a waste?

You just got your first paycheck, so people will expect that of you.

Plus, you work in a huge building in downtown Seoul

at Korea's biggest soy sauce firm.

You can't carry around just any old purse.

Your pride is at stake.

Good morning.

Did you get a new purse?

Is it real?

No.

It's a knockoff.

Around $150?

But it's not bad for a knockoff.

My mom gave it to me as a present.

Good morning.

Now that's real, isn't it?

Yes, the newest Luxuitton. That costs $3,900.

$3,900?

Did you all have a good weekend?

You got yet another new purse.

I thought you had something similar.

Oh, but that one's sky blue. This is light mint.

I treated myself since I got my first paycheck.

Oh, wow, Juri. Did you get the same purse?

No. Mine's a knockoff.

"No Coffe"?

What mall is that?

- We're all set, right? - Yup.

Is everything set for the second meeting?

Yes, sir. We're about to head out.

You all do a good job.

The future of our red vinegar is riding on this deal.

I can take your bag.

Thank you.

Okay. Let's get go...

Ms. Kim, I heard you drive buses.

Maybe that's why your driving style is rather rugged.

I've never driven a passenger car since getting my license.

I'll drive then.

This is my job, sir.

Fasten your seatbelts tight.

You double checked the quantities, right?

Yes, I did.

Ms. Geum, is your hair okay?

We had to cut it a few days ago.

Yes. My salon took care of it.

Really?

Look,

I was out of line that day

when I told you to leave Y.Jang.

Sorry about that.

Don't be, sir.

I should've kept my work and personal life separate.

I'm sorry, Mr. Jang.

I won't bring up anything not work related at the office.

Oh, okay.

You never disappoint, Mr. Jang.

This is a nice package.

Of course.

We did the best we could to ensure that

you'd know how much we appreciate your help.

Good job.

I hope these sell out.

We know you can make it happen.

Ms. Geum and Mr. Gye,

you two can go back to the office. We'll wrap things up here.

Okay. We'll get going then.

Mr. Choi! Mr. Choi!

There's a problem at Fashion!

They lost the imitation Luxuitton we had gotten for them!

What?

They lost the imitation?

What are we going to do?

But we need to compare a fake one with an authentic one on the show.

Why don't we have someone go out and get...

We're going on air in five minutes!

Miss.

This is an imitation, right?

Of course not.

See?

Who carries a knockoff these days?

- Darn it. - Oh, right!

This is a knockoff, right?

- Pardon? - It is?

Let me see.

This is exactly like the fake one they lost.

Can we use this for a bit?

No. I just got this a few days ago.

Huh?

What's the matter with you?

Go ahead, sir.

Stop it, Mr. Jang. She said no.

We're sorry, but you can't use it.

Y.Jang must not care about their red vinegar.

Good.

- We're all set! - Go!

Hurry! Hurry! Run!

- Which one's fake? This? - Yup.

This is fake?

They're so good these days. It looks so authentic.

I'm sorry, Juri.

It's not your fault.

They promised it'd just be for a simple comparison,

so don't worry.

Okay.

Standby.

- Let's sell out today. - For a sold out show!

Ready, action.

It wasn't easy, but we finally did it.

It is what every woman on the planet dreams of.

It is the epitome of elegance, sophistication, and luxury.

It is Luxuitton.

Look at the meticulous stitching.

Isn't it awe-inspiring?

For those of you who may be doubtful about the authenticity,

we have a knockoff here for comparison purposes.

Yes.

This is a $150 knockoff.

Look.

The texture... It's so rough.

It's like asphalt.

And look at this.

Oops.

Oh, no. It's caught.

This obviously never happens with an authentic Luxuitton, as I'm sure you all know.

That's right.

Now...

Can you feel the stiffness of a cheap knockoff?

Let's just get right to it.

It's the straps that make a purse.

You just pull lightly at the straps of a knockoff, and...

Oh, no.

Did you just see that? A world of difference, right?

Scumbags!

- Oh, my goodness! - Juri!

Oh, my god.

I don't believe this.

"Luxuitton scumbags" is no. 1 on the Internet search sites.

The on-air fiasco is one thing,

but we didn't even meet half of our sales target.

What are you going to do?

We're sorry. We will compensate...

How will you compensate us for what happened?

Do you have any idea how much money we put into that show?

We have to be compensated as well.

You're the ones who tore up someone else's purse.

What did you say?

We've sustained huge losses because of that cheap knockoff.

How much do you want for it? $30? $50?

Wait a minute. $50?

Never mind.

Let's just call off the Y.Jang red vinegar deal.

Now, now. Please.

We'll compensate you for whatever losses,

so let's talk this over.

What exactly can you do for us?

We'll have to sell out of everything on every show today just to break even.

If I make

that happen,

will you put

Y.Jang's red vinegar on air?

How will you manage to get everything sold out?

Will you personally buy everything?

Like I said, if I make that happen,

will we be good to go?

What are you doing?

My mom asked me to get thermal underwear for her.

There's a very good deal on today.

Really?

What an amazing deal.

Wait. Look.

Isn't that Ms. Kim?

Neurazia is comfort and stretch,

and comfort and stretch is Neurazia.

Just look at this.

I'm sure you all know Neurazia is beyond comparison.

Neurazia, famous for its comfortable and stretchy fabric.

Just look at this.

You can see for yourself just how stretchy Neurazia is.

Our phones are ringing off the hook.

Hurry and place your order now.

It doesn't get any stretchier or more comfortable than this.

This is remarkable.

We are now sold out.

Thank you for your interest in Neurazia.

Look at her

working every inch of her body

for overtime pay.

There's nothing spicier. There's nothing tastier.

A single bite will send electric shockwaves throughout your body.

Red Hot Chicken Noodles.

Look at her. You can feel just red, hot, and tasty it is.

You know you want to try our noodles.

That looks so yummy. How much is it?

She's perfected it to an art.

How can you not order after seeing her?

She's having another mouthful.

I'll just get two boxes.

Wow. Sold out.

Hey,

get me that woman's name and number right away.

Why?

Duh, knucklehead. To scout her.

Good! Next product.

What? You still haven't found a model with naturally coarse, kinky hair?

It's hard to find someone like that out of the blue.

I've called and tweeted everyone I know,

but...

A live demonstration is key to selling hair straighteners.

We need someone with naturally kinky hair.

You have your model right there.

Mr. Jang,

those nasty curls are natural?

I thought you said it was a perm.

No, no.

This is an expensive perm I got at a high end salon.

It's the European soft baby perm.

This course texture

is reminiscent of steel wool.

The kinkiness starts right at the root.

These are

100% natural, dry, coarse bristles.

No way!

What do you take my hair for?

Like you know anything about hair.

[National Technical License Hair styling and care]

No.

Have your natural kinks been a source of frustration?

Worry no more,

because Sleek 'n' Straight is here.

Look at his hair. Anyone can see it's naturally kinky and coarse.

How did he manage to live with that kind of hair?

Mr. Jang's hair is naturally curly?

He always said that it was a high end perm.

I can't believe he was born with that.

Sleek 'n' Straight takes care of even this kind of hair.

Look at the before and after.

Wow.

So it was his hair that had made him look somewhat attractive.

Yup.

Snap a photo.

What's the most searched clip online?

Is it really you?

[1. Luxuitton scumbags]

[1. Luxuitton scumbags]

[Worst ever on air fiasco Luxuitton scumbags. Awesome. LOL]

Jeong Juri,

you will soon be under the spotlight.

You are fated

to get a lot of attention

at the top of the charts.

But Gyujik,

it kind of suits you.

You look like Seo Taiji back in the day.

I had kept this

a secret for 32 years.

Kim,

what in the world did you do to my hair?

I used modern technology

to free you of your naturally coarse, nasty curls.

And why do you have a hairstyling license?

Who the heck are you?

Where did you come from?

What are you getting at?

I'm just

a lowly contract worker who get paid

[Amounts: $1,000 Home shopping appearance]

for what I do.

Oh.

By the way,

as a hairstyling specialist,

I recommend

that you wet your hair right away.

Why?

It's disgusting

to look at.

Hey!

Kim!

Stop right there!

Gyujik, we're at Super Homeshopping.

I told you not to walk off when someone's talking.

Stop it.

That was so cool.

Ms. Kim, I was so impressed with your countless facial expressions.

Do you have a home shopping modeling license as well?

Mr. Ko,

no such license even exists.

I merely happen

to have work experience in that industry.

What in the world did you guys do?

Super Homeshopping called.

They're giving us not one but three time slots for our red vinegar.

Wow.

Really, Mr. Hwang?

Ms. Kim,

you came through once again.

Good job.

Please don't mention it, sir.

That's why

I have a proposal for you.

Go ahead, sir.

The upper management must have heard about

the soy sauce crab promo event.

People were talking about you at the managerial meeting today.

You're too good to let go after a three month contract term,

so upper management wants you here permanently.

What do you think?

How about a permanent position at Y.Jang?

But Mr. Hwang,

my contract states that the contract period cannot be extended.

Don't worry about the contract.

You have a permanent position now.

This is an unprecedented offer.

I'm sorry.

I will not

accept the offer, sir.

I have

no desire to become the slave of any company.

Slave?

I'm sorry, Mr. Hwang.

Very well then.

What did you just say to Mr. Hwang?

He asked me a question, so I merely answered.

How could you say such things to Mr. Hwang's face?

I think it's better than talking behind his back.

Are you kidding me?

A slave?

So are you saying all of us here are slaves?

Don't you know anything about common courtesy?

Save that courtesy for non-contract workers like yourself.

I come to the office to work and get paid,

not to observe common courtesy.

Yup.

So that's what you are.

I've totally gotten to the bottom of your identity now.

You are...

A gold digger, right?

You're...

You're a corporate gold digger, moving from one company

to another to get as much overtime pay as possible.

Enough, Mr. Jang. Good grief.

I've seen things.

I even have material evidence.

When she came to Korea,

she flew first class, which is over $10,000 a ticket.

Really?

Is that true, Ms. Kim?

- That was... - That was what?

What's your story this time?

That you're a licensed aircraft mechanic,

and you fixed a plane to avert a major catastrophe,

so the president of the airline got you a first class ticket?

Is that your story?

Well?

Why don't you wave a license in front of my face again?

[Aircraft Mechanic License]

It's 6:00, Mr. Mu. I'll get going.

Wow!

Aircraft mechanic.

I can't believe she has a license for that, too.

I'll get the National Forensic Service to check its authenticity.

This is absurd.

That woman is seeming more and more suspicious.

What kind of life could she have led?

Gyujik,

the thing is, Ms. Kim...

She got laid off.

She was traumatized by that experience.

You know this is a secret, right?

What about her?

Huh?

Nothing.

I can't let her off the hook for what she did today.

She can call me a dung fly or straighten my armpit hair.

She can take cheap shots at me,

but I won't let her get away with belittling our company.

How can she call us slaves?

I worked so hard for this.

This slave position was my only hope.

Hey, Gyujik, how about a drink? It's Friday night, after all.

No, I'll just head home.

I have to get up early tomorrow.

Oh, right. You're going to see your father, right?

Yeah.

I got my paycheck.

I should go and see him.

- Hello. - Welcome.

Sir,

how much could I get for this?

It's just a hunk of rock.

This will cost you a bit.

But it's not an authentic Luxuitton.

I know, but fixing it will be a lot of work.

Really?

How much?

I won't know for sure until I get working on it, but...

Maybe $30?

It'll be a lot more than that.

Why don't you fix it

if it'll be $50 or under.

Otherwise, just keep it here,

and I'll come pick it up on Monday.

As you like.

And could I borrow something to put all my things in?

Even a black plastic bag.

Mom

Hi, mom.

You sound even more cheerful than usual.

Have you had dinner?

Yup. I just ate.

What about the purse? Did you take it to work today?

Did people say it was pretty?

Yup.

Everyone said it was pretty.

Oh, my goodness. So it was worth the money.

Mom, the bus is here. I'll call when I get home.

Okay. Sounds good.

Bye.

Hola.

Ms. Kim, you live in a very exotic place.

This workday is over.

Ms. Kim,

how soon do I have to give you the overtime pay for

your home shopping appearance?

I really don't have

the money this time around.

Could you let me pay you back in installments over two months?

I'm not billing you this time.

Pardon?

It's on me.

I got my first paycheck at Y.Jang, after all.

I wanted to give you a tie when I got my first paycheck.

No. Why would I take this?

Just take it.

I'm here to call it quits with you once and for all.

You say I'm not the one, so I don't want to pester you anymore.

But let me ask you one final question.

What did I do that was so wrong?

What did I do that

made you cut off all contact with me?

You stopped coming to school,

and you even moved.

I told you it wasn't because of you.

If it wasn't because of me,

why did you disappear as soon as you dumped me?

Take it.

This is my last gift to you.

I'm sorry to show up after work hours.

Why are you here if you know you should be sorry?

I wanted to give you this.

What is it?

Pardon?

Oh,

it was my payday today, so I went shopping.

I got my mom a scarf,

and I wasn't sure what to get my dad, so I ended up getting a handkerchief.

And I also got this, which I think is perfect for you.

It's a present from me.

Why should I accept this?

Because I want you to have it.

To you, a company may just be where you work and get paid.

I may just be a slave, and Mr. Jang, a fly.

But to me, you're a new member of my family.

Even if I tell you this is my way of welcoming you to my family,

you won't accept it, so I'll just put it here and go.

It's cold. You should go inside.

What do you think?

No. The colors are tacky.

This is much better.

This isn't your job interview. It's mine.

Let's go with this one.

Are you defying me?

Have you forgotten who you belong to?

Come on.

Won't you answer me?

I'm yours.

I can't hear you.

I'm yours.

Yes, Mr. Won.

Here.

What is it, sir?

- I got paid. - Yes?

So?

I don't understand...

Oh...

They say you get your family gifts when you get paid, right?

You're my work family. And who knows...

You might end up becoming a member of my real family.

Open it.

This is so pretty.

But it's a bit short.

You have pretty legs, so it'll be fine.

- One coffee, please. - Sure.

- One coffee, please. - Here you go.

Thank you.

How many more days

do I have to endure until my next payday?

And will things get any better then?

Who is it?

Oh...

Mr. Mu.

Just a second.

What brings you here, Mr. Mu?

I startled you, didn't I, coming on the weekend?

Is something up at the office?

Did I accidentally bring something home again?

A USB?

A key?

No.

This time, I'm bringing something.

Pardon?

But how...

I had to get my shoes repaired,

and I saw your purse at the repair shop.

This means a lot to you, as your mom get it for you on your first payday.

How much was it? I should pay you back.

Don't worry about it. It didn't cost much.

How much?

Maybe around $30? Yup. It was $30.

You came all the way here on a day off just to give me this?

I was just in the neighborhood.

The weather's really nice today.

Your mom would love it if you went out with this purse on a day like today.

Would you like to come in?

No, no. I should get going.

- Would you like coffee? - No. I have to go. I should...

Are you okay, Mr. Mu?

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'll get going then.

Mr. Mu!

I'll buy you lunch when I get paid next month.

Okay.

Maybe my bank balance will stay the same next month,

but I endure another day with the hope

of another payday next month.

[Jin Mija]

I'm back.

I got through

yet another month.

Dad,

I managed to get paid

for another month's work.

It hit me that maybe I don't have to live like everyone else.

Look at Ms. Kim.

Is there anything Ms. Kim can't do?

There's only one such thing.

How dare you disregard someone's kindness?

Kindness?

To me, it's much more important to live day by day as a contract worker.

Our future isn't that of Ms. Kim.

It's that of Bonghui.

How dare she refuse a permanent position?

Because she specializes in contract positions.

What kind of specialization is that?

You broke a $2,000 photocopier?

If you help me just this once...

Do you want to interview for a job at our company?

New Concept Marketing.

I have to get a permanent position at Y.Jang.

Jeong Juri!
