Yes, give me that.

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SALES AGREEMENT

Jung Chang-su.

You could've just signed this sooner.

Yes, I'm sorry.

You're too brazen for your own good.

Yes, I apologize.

Hello.

Hello, nice to meet you.

No, the blade.

What do you want that for?

I did everything you asked.

Why are you so afraid? Did I do something to you?

Sorry?

Will you call the police on us?

No way. I'd never do that.

I signed the contract because I wanted to.

Voluntarily.

How can I be sure of that?

You sold the property for chump change.

Were you blackmailed?

No, I wasn't blackmailed.

I just needed cash really urgently.

Liar.

Come on. What do you want from me?

No, don't.

I signed the contract.

Spare my life. I'll give you everything.

I'll give you everything I have, so please.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You did good.

There are people watching, so leave a little later.

Yes, I understand.

- You can sit. - Okay.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

It's a snail.

What is it doing in here?

It's dangerous in here. Should we take it with us?

Take care.

Thank you!

SEJEONG-RO AREA 4 FIRST STEP TOWARD REDEVELOPMENT

What are you doing?

It's dangerous in there.

It's pretty cute.

Please cheer and applaud!

Dear guests who honored us with your presence.

Is there anyone out there?

It's a historic moment for the future.

Please give a warm round of applause!

SEJEONG-RO CHANGSHIM BUILDING DEMOLISHING CEREMONY

I took care of it.

Well done.

From now on, stop at nothing to get things done.

As long as our company

isn't brought to the forefront.

Deputy Nam.

We are ready to proceed.

He says everything is ready.

And this is Jonah Kim from our team.

If you need anything, she will take care of it.

She's their representative Jonah Kim.

Mr. Nam Sang-ho.

Deputy for Urban Development Policy

Show your respect.

We thank you again.

We expect a lot from you and your company.

I went out on a limb to include an overseas company.

You'd better be worth it.

Welcome Representative Yong Su-cheol with some applause.

With your help

I'll run for a fifth term in office!

Give him a warm hand!

We only hope this city succeeds.

So you say.

Let's make this a win-win.

Yes.

Okay, everyone.

Are you all ready? If you are

we'll kick off the redevelopment of Sejeong-ro Area Four

with the demolition of Changshim Building.

It's a historic moment for this region and our future.

Please cheer and applaud!

Please stand.

Turn and look behind you.

Hold your right hand high.

We'll count down from three

and press the button to tear down the building.

- If you're ready. Three... - Three...

Help!

Is anyone out there?

- Two! - Two!

Someone help!

- One, go! - One!

Give us a loud cheer!

MAD CONCRETE DREAMS

EPISODE 1

You eat as if it's your birthday.

It's delicious.

Why did you bother to cook?

I said I would. It's your birthday.

You've been saying that for 20 years.

You won't eat?

I don't like seaweed soup.

You and Da-rae like it, so I made it.

I heard banks raised rates again.

So what?

The interest rate.

Can you keep up with it?

Don't mind that. I'll take care of it.

And the vacancies?

Some people came by yesterday to check it out.

We're fine.

We called the realtor months ago.

Isn't it taking too long to find a tenant?

I'll take care of everything.

I just need you to look after Da-rae, okay?

You always say you'll take care of everything.

Da-rae's almost done with the university entrance exam.

You can discuss things with me from now on.

Okay.

MACHINE ENGINEER MR. KIM

You're up, darling? You should eat.

- No. - Why not?

Have some seaweed soup and rice. It's delicious.

(Did you send the file for the admission briefing?)

I'm working on it right now.

I'll finish it by tomorrow.

I really enjoyed that.

I'm off, Seon.

(Where are you going?)

To my property. I'm going to work.

(Will I see you later at Mom's birthday party?)

You bet.

(I have a study group at a friend's, so I'll join after that.)

(The birthday cake we ordered...)

(Don't forget to pick it up.)

Okay.

(You got her a present, right?)

Of course I did.

What do you take me for?

Come here, Da-rae.

My sweet baby girl.

Have breakfast. The soup's great.

I'm off, Seon.

WE REFUSE TO BE DISPLACED! NO TO REDEVELOPMENT!

REDEVELOPMENT KILLS OUR RIGHT TO SUN, A VIEW, FREE PASSAGE, AND PROPERTY!

SE-YOON BUILDING

BADUK CLUBHOUSE

My goodness.

He doesn't care at all about this place.

SMOKING IS PROHIBITED NO SMOKING IN SE-YOON BUILDING!

Smoking isn't allowed in here.

Why do people still smoke? I want an iced latte.

Give me the landlord discount.

My boss said it's not allowed.

He wants you to pay up for the past discounts.

I got chewed out.

Did you?

I'll talk to your boss again.

- Give me an iced latte. - My boss

wants to talk to you.

Our toilet needs fixing again.

Okay.

I'll be back in five minutes. Make me the iced latte.

ROOT MARKET: SECONDHAND MAN

We're meeting up to buy and sell the Shamere card wallet, right?

It's 500,000 won, right?

- Order number 88. - That's me.

Thanks.

- Is that it? Great. - Here you go.

Please take one.

Aren't you Da-rae's dad?

You guys were here.

- Here you are. - Her dad's a landlord.

Why would he be delivering food?

- Why would he deliver chicken? - (Why are you here, Dad?)

I wanted to surprise you.

I brought you a present.

I paid for the food already.

How much was it?

It was 100,000 won.

Okay, 100,000 won. No problem.

Here's the money. Take it.

I came by to give it to you.

Enjoy. Eat while it's hot.

- Go on inside. You're welcome. - Thank you, sir.

- Thank you. - Sure.

(Are you delivering food again?)

No, I really came by to surprise you.

I'm a building owner.

Why would I deliver food?

(I don't mind.)

(Did you get the cake?)

(The shop closes at 6 p.m.)

(Should I go get it?)

(I was thinking of leaving now anyway.)

No, I'll go and get it.

You go back inside. I'll see you later.

Go on inside.

Go back inside, Da-rae. See you later.

I'm here.

Oh, good.

Hey, where's the box?

I couldn't find it anywhere.

You said you had the box and all the accessories.

I didn't, apparently.

I'll take 10,000 won off.

Just 10,000 won?

It's a great deal.

A luxury wallet at 500,000 won is practically free.

It's pointless without the box.

- What if this is a fake? - What?

I came to see you despite my busy schedule.

Do you want to call off the deal?

There's no need to be so sensitive.

It was a figure of speech.

Let's do this, then.

Give me 200,000 won off. I'm short on cash.

Darn it. What rotten luck.

- 100,000 won off. - Deal.

Bye.

Mr. Kim.

Put your thumbprint right here.

DEBT TRANSFER AGREEMENT

I got you a little gift.

What is this?

Will you take a look?

What do you say? Will you sign with your thumbprint

or let me put your thumb in here?

You have three seconds to decide.

One, two...

Fine.

Thank you very much.

You can go now. Take the gift.

No, thanks.

- What's wrong? - Forget it.

Let's see...

- Hwal-sung. - What?

- Wear these. - Okay.

Thank you.

- Can I start grilling? - Yes.

Grill it well, please.

- It looks great. - What should we start with?

- That. Beef. - This? Beef?

A great choice.

- You know your stuff. - Hey, Da-rae.

- Hi, Da-rae. - Hi, Da-rae.

Hello.

(I met Dad earlier by chance.)

- Okay. - That fool Su-jong.

What's keeping him? Why is he so late?

I bet he's busier than you.

What?

No, not at all.

Hwal-sung's working on way more.

SE-YOON BUILDING

I'm so sorry I'm late.

Hey, what time is it?

- What time is it right now? - A little past 7 p.m.

- Here we go. - The cake.

We have a cake.

What happened to it?

What happened?

What does the writing say?

"Happy Birthday."

You survived the fall, at least.

He's the only one to survive.

- This part... - I had no idea.

This bit is crushed.

When did this happen?

Seon.

You didn't have to get me anything.

I didn't get you anything last year.

It bothered me.

Da-rae gets into university soon.

You've been through so much. Well done, Seon.

Thanks, Yi-gyeong.

Open it.

Hey, it suits you.

It's pretty.

We're done.

It's Su-jong's turn now.

Thanks.

I remembered that time, Seon.

You said you needed it and it came to mind.

Actually, it was really hard to find.

I hope you appreciate the sentiment.

What's it all wrapped up for?

What is it?

What's that?

Hang on. There's no packaging?

It doesn't come with a box.

I had to line up and barely got this limited edition.

I can use this as an everyday wallet.

I'll use the large wallet when I'm traveling.

This is what family is.

Let's light the candles.

She should blow them out.

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

- Happy birthday, dear Kim Seon - Happy birthday, dear Kim Seon

- Happy birthday to you - Happy birthday to you

Here.

- Happy birthday. - Happy birthday.

- Happy birthday. - Thank you.

(I'd love to stay a bit longer.)

It's late. Go on home.

Da-rae.

Today.

I had so much fun.

So I could speak with you

I learned a little bit.

Let's hang out again next time.

- Su-jong. - Yes.

Let's go home, Da-rae.

Bye.

See you.

Da-rae.

I'm sorry about the cake.

(Don't drink too much.)

Yes, sir.

Go to bed.

Bye.

Su-jong.

She got into university, didn't she?

We're still waiting for the official announcement.

She'll get in.

She's a gifted kid who came first in the Math Olympiad.

That's all down to Seon's hard work.

She quit her nursing job

to focus on Da-rae's education.

That fool...

- He did nothing. - Hey.

Don't say I didn't do anything.

We own this building.

You're a landlord. That's right.

We both worked pretty hard.

Those Ivy League universities

must charge a fortune for tuition.

Can you afford that with this tiny building?

You can barely pay the loan interest.

It'll be game over

once the redevelopment is confirmed.

Wasn't that plan scrapped?

It was announced.

Says who? Who said that?

Tell me. Go on.

Stop it, both of you. You're being childish.

If you can't afford it, I'll give Da-rae a scholarship.

Who cares about the amount?

You have her, Seon.

That's what I'm most envious about.

Sure.

I bet.

- Let's fill our glasses. - Hold on.

MACHINE ENGINEER MR. KIM WE NEED TO DISCUSS YOUR LOAN

- Cheers. - Cheers.

Hey.

- Oh, dear. - Yi-gyeong, are you all right?

Do you need to use the restroom?

Let's go.

Is she okay?

Does she need some medicine?

MACHINE ENGINEER MR. KIM

Thanks for the present.

Sure.

You know the real present is tomorrow, don't you?

Tomorrow?

The birthday present I really want.

I told you about it.

Yes, right.

Couples counseling.

Do we really need that, Seon?

I don't know

what you're thinking these days.

I know you're busy, but...

We haven't talked much lately.

The thing is, I care only about you and Da-rae.

Okay.

Let's go to couples counseling.

Good.

One more thing.

You made a delivery to Da-rae's friends?

I don't mind that you work part-time

but tell me at least.

Don't suffer all on your own.

Okay, I'll do that.

Do you think Yi-gyeong's okay?

Shouldn't we check on her?

Where's Hwal-sung?

- I'll check the restroom. - Yes, you do that.

Hey.

Where is he?

Min Hwal-sung, what are you doing over there?

What are you doing?

Do you use this space?

This space?

No, why?

What? Never mind.

Why did you get her that wallet?

I told you I would.

Did you? I forgot.

You're no help at all.

What'll you do about this building?

- Well? - What do you mean?

The price went down yet again.

And you still have vacancies.

You told me to buy this property.

Why are you blaming me?

You said your salary wasn't enough.

You wanted to become a landlord to save up for Da-rae's tuition.

Well, so what?

What is it you want to say?

Do you want to sell it to me?

For real? Are you serious?

Would I be?

I'm not stupid.

What are you on about, you psycho?

Too bad you have to deliver food.

- Bye, Yi-gyeong. - Bye.

See you.

REDEVELOPMENT WITHOUT A PROCESS IS VIOLENCE!

What a long day.

I know, right?

Let's clean up and go home. Da-rae will be waiting.

Mr. Gi.

Hello.

- I'll head inside. - Yes, go ahead.

- Take care. - Bye.

Why are you here this late?

Us lowly tenants have to work late.

You have it tough.

But us landlords are the same.

Do you see the new coat of paint?

I've been painting the walls many times a year since I took over.

Being a landlord isn't an easy job.

Which is why I must go inside.

You are so very right, sir.

You the landlord and I the tenant.

We both work

- to improve our circumstances. - Yes.

Do something for me, then.

- What's that? - The toilet.

Fix it for me today

and you can keep the landlord discount on lattes.

Mr. Oh.

Let's do it another day.

Let's do it today.

What did you flush down the toilet?

Poop, of course.

Let me take this.

MY ONLY BROTHER-IN-LAW KIM GYUN

Hey, Gyun.

Why didn't you come over?

Don't ask.

A suspect came out of nowhere, and I'm only now heading home.

Is the party over?

It ended a while ago.

I'm way too late, then.

What now?

How about a nightcap for us two?

I'd love that

but I'm doing something right now.

Can't I do this tomorrow?

You might as well fix it while you're at it.

What are you talking about?

I'm working on a clogged toilet.

Oh, dear. Mr. Landlord.

Hire a professional.

You'll work yourself to death.

These days, landlords have to do this themselves.

I'll call you right back.

- I'll be at our usual place. - Okay.

I think that's it.

Ta-da.

Are we done?

You could've fixed it sooner.

Let's get going.

PYEONGBUKGWAN

How come the food here is always good?

My life is just disgusting.

It's a good day today.

Gyun.

You know I work like crazy.

Your sister has no idea.

I've practically done every part-time job lately.

I hand out flyers, drive drunk people

deliver food and parcels

clean dirty and plugged drains.

Isn't that just magnificent?

Sell the building if it's too much.

You might end up dead.

If I sell it now

I won't even get the principal back.

Whether it works out or not

I have to wait until this area is cleared for redevelopment.

Why not talk about it with Seon?

She's thorough and should be good with money.

As if she is.

She keeps whining about going to couples counseling.

Gyun.

In a couple's relationship

the quicker you overcome a crisis like this

the better your relationship will be in the end.

Aren't I right?

Well...

You know she's been through a lot.

She worked nights in the ER

and raised Da-rae, too.

I know that.

With our parents gone

she's the only family I have now.

- You know that, right? - I do.

If things get too bad

forget about my interest.

I can't do that when it's not that much anyway.

I'd feel horrible if I did that.

Thanks. You're the best.

- Same here. - Yes.

Gyun.

You're drinking again?

You're late. You just got off?

As usual.

Can we join you?

No, drink just a bit over there and go home.

Don't you drink too much.

I just had one bottle.

- Who's that? - Her?

A junior on my team.

She's a good kid, but things went a bit wrong.

Wrong how?

The promotion and other things.

You don't need to know.

Are you free, Su-jong?

What, right now?

Isn't it a bit too late?

No, it's not that late.

- Should we go somewhere nice? - Hey.

You're a civil servant. You can't go to such places.

I only go every now and then.

Come with me.

Are you sure? Let's go, then.

Take care.

- Goodbye. - Sure.

Bye.

TEENAGERS ONLY

What are they looking at?

Isn't this where students hang out?

It's not just for them.

It's a bit embarrassing.

- Snail. - Sing your lungs out.

- Snail. - Yes.

What a song.

Hello, Mr. Kim.

I missed your calls.

Something came up at home.

I wired you this month's interest.

Check your account.

I have something urgent to tell you.

Why are you so hard to reach?

You don't have to pay me back now.

I sold your debt.

What do you mean?

You sold my debt?

You sold it? To whom?

You don't have to talk to me now.

Repay the company that bought the debt.

BUILDER JUNG CHANG-SU

The phone is turned off. Transferring to voice...

Jung Chang-su.

Why won't he pick up?

Real Capital and Partners put our clients first.

- How can I help you? - Oh, yes.

I just got a text message.

Hello? Are you there?

Is this Mr. Gi Su-jong?

Yes, that's right.

What would you like to know?

What?

What do you want to know?

Well...

What does Real Capital do?

I got a text about my debt.

Did you read the text message?

It's self-explanatory.

There's no button for the 28th floor.

- Excuse me. - Sure.

Are you going to the 28th floor?

Yes.

Come this way.

Take these stairs.

Okay.

Thank you.

Is this Real Capital's office?

I got a text message, you see.

- I know that. - What?

Okay.

I heard you bought my debt. What does that even mean?

I got a text from a place I'd never heard of

demanding I pay them instead.

I felt a bit perplexed.

It's a bit unusual as well.

You texted me out of the blue

about something I knew nothing of.

What's this?

COMMERCIAL PROPERTY SALES AGREEMENT

You can't pull a fast one on someone like this in this day and age.

Forget it, then.

Wait a second. Let me give you a brief explanation.

I owe a bit to the bank

so I'll be left with nothing after I pay them back.

Also

I don't think you know who I am

but you can't do something like this to me.

I'm not the type who goes around flaunting this

but my brother-in-law is...

Did you handle everything?

Rather an emotional one

but we ended it with a smile.

Who's this old man?

You know, Se-yoon Building.

That guy?

Why is he here?

What were you going to say?

Yes, well, my cheonam is...

What does "cheonam" mean?

His wife's younger brother.

- Brother-in-law? - Ya.

What about him?

He's a VCU detective at Yongdaemun Police Station.

- What's the name? - Me? Gi Su-jong.

No, your brother-in-law.

It's Kim Gyun.

- Yes, Kim Gyun. - There's his name.

Kim Gyun, a creditor.

I was actually planning to call him.

If you have nothing more to say, go.

Ms. Kim Seon?

Yes?

Does your husband not want couples counseling?

Many times, they don't come to an agreement.

That's not the case.

May we postpone the appointment?

You'll have to wait about three months.

And as I mentioned, I cannot issue a refund for the amount already paid.

In that case

Would it be okay if I wait just ten more minutes?

Sure, as you wish.

SEOUL YONGDAEMUN POLICE STATION

My creditors transferred

all my debts to a company named Real Capital or something.

They already have your information, so they'll also reach out to you.

Does this ring a bell?

Real Capital? I've never heard of them.

- They reached out this afternoon? - Yes.

Are you going to hand over my debt?

I wouldn't do that.

I find it odd that everyone else did.

Can you send me the information? I'll look into it.

Okay, please do that for me.

Sure.

- Oh, my. It's been a while, Mr. Gi. - Hello.

Have you been well?

I'm all right.

Anyway, is something going on?

Not really.

- It's a family affair. - Is that so?

Goodbye, then.

- Goodbye. - Bye.

You never know, so try to find some money.

I'm sure you have savings to support Da-rae's study abroad.

Well...

You used it up?

I had to pay interest.

I'm about to go crazy lately.

It's all right. Let's figure out what we're faced with right now.

You always come through when you set your mind on it.

You know I respect you, right?

Stop making me embarrassed.

If you can't find any money

I can let you borrow 200 million won.

No, don't do that.

It's all right. It's between us.

Stay strong, Su-jong. Okay?

Wait, Gyun.

I'll put the information together and text it to you right away.

- Yes, text me right away. - Okay.

Bye. Go, now.

You startled me.

What are you doing there?

Did you forget about the appointment?

That counselor is very well-known

so it was really hard to make that appointment.

Yes, right.

I'm sorry. Something came up.

Have a seat.

One moment.

What are you doing?

I said, what are you doing right now?

Do you think we can take out

another loan against Se-yoon Building?

What?

I've pulled all the loans I could

but you can get some more, right?

I told you that you weren't allowed to take out any loans under my name.

Yes, right.

What about the family burial site from your father?

Never mind. I already used it up.

Hey!

Wait.

Did you take Da-rae's funds?

No, I didn't.

I'll find out myself.

Wait, I...

I can explain, Seon.

Didn't I tell you

that she has to study abroad because of her disability?

Don't you remember how she was bullied in grade school?

I do.

I thought you were on top of it.

You know how hard it has been for Da-rae and me.

- Seon, I can explain... - Get out.

Get out right now!

You said this place has the best feng shui.

It will definitely be part of the next project.

Believe in me and take your chance.

Yes.

There's nothing to be suspicious of.

It's not that you're helping me.

I'm a guy who has been in and out of that field for over 20 years.

I know what's going on there.

I know this vibe.

It's evident to you too.

Sir, just come with me.

BAEKSEONG PRINTING, MR. BAEK

SEJEONG HARDWARE STORE, MR. YOON

You'll hear great news about this area very soon.

Why do you think I chose this area?

Consider this an investment and jump in.

It's a safe bet, a blue-chip stock.

This guy has never touched grass.

Who else is there to call, Su-jong?

HWAL-SUNG

Well, you know.

I needed the money urgently

so I took the money and sold it.

Even though you would've profited much more after the redevelopment?

Sir, you aren't the type who needs money that urgently.

Anyway

why is the police investigating this?

What do you mean why? It's because I'm a detective.

Sir.

Don't be so secretive

and spill the beans honestly.

I'll protect you.

So? Can I get anything?

There's trouble with your collateral, and your wife isn't employed.

She can get about ten million won.

Ten million won?

We aren't a kid.

HWAL-SUNG?

Why won't this punk pick up?

HWAL-SUNG

Hey, man.

Why is it so hard to reach you?

How may I help you?

Are you busy?

I'm in a meeting.

Hwal-sung.

I have something very important to discuss with you.

Why? Are you selling the building?

No, it's not that.

Can you let me borrow some money?

I don't have any money.

You said you'd buy the building.

That's a different kind of money.

Forget it.

Can you ask your mother-in-law to let me borrow some money?

I'm in a serious situation right now.

Hello?

What's this sound?

Hey, Hwal-sung.

I'm sorry, but I'm in a meeting.

I have to go. Bye.

Hey, man.

Darn it.

It said it was on the 28th floor.

Real Capital.

That's Sejeong-ro.

He's been unreachable for two weeks.

SAFETY IS THE BEST

Then...

MY ONLY BROTHER-IN-LAW KIM GYUN

- Hey, Gyun. - Su-jong.

Where are you?

Why do you ask?

You know Jung Chang-su's building?

Meet me there.

What's going on? What's the rush?

I went to Real Capital.

I...

Hello?

- Hello? - The signal...

Hello? Su-jong.

Gyun, hello?

I'm not getting good reception here.

Su-jong?

Anyway, meet me there.

Hey, Gyun.

Excuse me?

911 NO SERVICE IN THIS AREA

Darn it.

Gyun.

Hey, Su-jong.

Gyun.

Gyun.

- What's the name? - Kim Gyun, a creditor.

I was actually planning to call him.

My condolences.

I know you must be in great grief

due to the sudden accident...

but I hope you stay strong.

MESSAGES HWAL-SUNG

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN? HOW'S YOUR WIFE?

NOT GOOD...

YOU NEED TO BE THERE BOTH DAYS

YES...

ARE YOU GOING TO STAY UNTIL THE END OF THE FUNERAL?

OF COURSE... WHY DO YOU ASK?

A wreath delivery for Mr. Gi Su-jong.

- Do you want me to leave it here? - Yes.

- You can leave it there. - Okay.

But I wasn't expecting any wreath.

REAL CAPITAL AND GLOBAL PARTNERS

SENDING OUR CONDOLENCES

Real Capital.

Do you know that place?

No, not really.

You even got a wreath from there.

I know.

Anyway, who are you?

We've met at the cold noodle place.

My name is Koh Ju-ran from Yongdaemun Police Station.

Oh, that's right.

- Gyun's junior. I remember. - Yes.

By chance

did Gyun have a financial issue?

I don't know. I'm not sure.

He requested for his severance pay.

If you can't find any money

I can let you borrow 200 million won.

Do you believe

that this is a car accident?

Excuse me.

Kim Gyun...

He'd never die early.

No, you're right.

I'm glad to see this song request.

This is the song that made Lee Juck where he stands today.

Requested by Reta99, Snail by Panic.

We'll come back after the song.

1 BILLION WON

CALLING 911

Who is it?

Hey, what are you doing?

MAD CONCRETE DREAMS

I kidnapped her.

I'll let you in. 500 million won.

Have you prepared Da-rae's tuition?

Something more urgent came up.

I'll put it back soon.

Have you made up your mind?

I'm just getting the money I'm meant to inherit.

As long as I get the money, no one will get hurt.

How dare you make a joke like that nowadays?

Why don't you check upstairs first then head to the basement?

You said you'd like to use the cold storage, right?

I think I hear something inside.

You know you've been acting weird.

How long will you live like this?

This is your last chance.
