(All people, incidents, and backgrounds...)

(in this drama are fictitious and unrelated to reality.)

Come on in.

Here's a little welcome gift from the boarding house.

My first place on my own was a boarding house.

What first captivated my eyes...

was the perfect lighting that evoked the weather of the Mediterranean.

But it was a total scam.

The place was north-facing,

so it only got sunlight for 30 minutes.

Otherwise, it was dark as night, even in the middle of the day.

Sunlight!

The landlady was basically force-feeding us Vitamin D...

and raising a bunch of zombies.

My second move was to one of those tiny dorm-style rooms.

It's obviously very clean, and there's no smell.

It's a really great place to live.

It was a cramped, old place, but the sweet scent of vanilla...

was right up my alley.

I fell in love with the fragrance and signed the contract on the spot.

But that too...

was just a cover-up for the smell of urine.

Worst of all, the bathroom didn't even have a door,

so that toilet...

That smell really gets everywhere.

Okay, now this place...

The next place I chose was the studio apartment I live in now.

This has the space of a two-bedroom.

The lighting was good,

and the toilet was neatly tucked away.

In many ways, it seemed like a decent enough place.

You won't find a place better than this in this neighborhood.

But there's no threshold step into the room.

What? It's good because you won't trip.

So, are you signing or not?

Gosh, my wallet!

My wallet.

Darn it.

Since there's no entryway step,

I keep forgetting to take my shoes off.

I've lived in Seoul for three years.

After moving several times, I finally realized something.

When you don't have money, "taste" or "style" is a luxury.

It's something you have to pare down to fit reality.

But do I really have to go through this painful process all over again?

- So? You're moving out, right? - Yes.

Gosh, with that creep from before,

I just assumed you wouldn't want to renew the lease.

No, but I hoped we could still have a serious talk about...

Well, I'm raising the rent.

You'll be listing the apartment yourself then, right?

Gosh, the entryway is so dusty. Goodness, all this dust.

Where am I supposed to find another place now?

Rental hopper. I'm so sick and tired of this.

(Episode 3: A Taste for the Averages)

(Enderium)

You need money for a place.

(Enderium, 38.07 dollars)

What?

Did it go up a little?

Like it matters. I only put in ten dollars.

I'm done trying harder!

What was that?

What memory was that?

- Jung Da Hae. - Yes?

Hi.

Why aren't you responding in the chat?

Hey, there are 228 messages. I can't even get through them all.

I don't get how you talk so much first thing in the morning.

Okay, so, to recap what happened last night...

We've been over it 228 times, and you still need a recap?

Da Hae got totally wasted, right?

That's right. Eun Sang. How wasted was I last night?

- On a 1-10 scale, how bad was it? - Like, an 81?

You were an 81 on the wasted scale,

and you finally caved and started doing crypto.

She only bought ten dollars' worth.

That doesn't even count.

I'm just testing the waters. Anyway, enough about me.

So, what's your deal?

Are you really set on Beijing?

Ta-da!

I got a super cheap deal.

I can head straight to the airport right after work tomorrow.

It's China, not the next town over. Why are you always so impulsive?

Unbelievable.

- Hang on. - What is it?

Should we grab one before we go in? Do we have time?

- We're eating. I'm starving. - I know, right?

I'm supposed to be on a diet, though.

So you have to move again?

My lease is almost up anyway,

and I don't want to stay there anymore.

That's true. That neighborhood is too dangerous.

Hey, are you guys even listening to me?

I'm telling you, my relationship is in danger right now.

I'm pretty sure Wei Lin is cheating. He barely answers my calls,

and something just feels really off.

Forget that. Seen your bank account? Now that's something to worry about.

Oh, here it is.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

Anyway, are you going to the alumni reunion?

I'm not sure.

There's something I want to see, so I'm tempted.

Don't tell me it's an old flame. Who is it?

- Black garlic. - What?

My gosh.

For the 50th anniversary,

an alum is giving out black garlic extract.

The fee is only ten dollars,

but the garlic extract itself costs 50 dollars.

It resells for about 45 dollars.

If it's unopened, I can get at least 38 dollars.

It's a pretty good flip.

You must've been busy with the math. I'm so impressed.

- Gosh. - What's wrong?

It just hurts.

It feels like I slammed my head into something.

Hey, did you black out last night, by any chance?

Do you even remember coming over to my place?

Yes, I remember that part.

I didn't do anything dumb last night, did I?

Da Hae. Don't buy coffee just yet.

(Coffee and Toast)

I'm so sorry. I was drunk and out of line, right?

Oh, no, not at all. And as for the presentation...

Oh, say no more.

I know mine just wasn't good enough.

Now my head's clear, I can see that.

The materials, the ideas...

Yours were so much better.

You definitely deserved it.

I appreciate you saying that.

- Should we head in? - Actually...

Da Hee.

Is your forehead okay?

I'm really not a violent person, I swear.

But last night, I don't know what came over me.

I'm sorry? What are you talking about?

I headbutted your forehead,

didn't I?

What?

Da Hae, did you hit someone?

What?

If it wasn't you, then...

who was it?

It opens with a woman sitting in an interrogation room.

Every man she's ever dated...

has died under mysterious circumstances,

and sensing something is wrong, a detective interrogates her.

"You're the culprit, aren't you? How did you kill so many people?"

And then, with a wicked little smile,

she pulls this out.

(Lonely Potato)

Lonely Potato.

The detective takes Lonely Potato...

and takes a bite, feeling mesmerized.

And right there on the spot,

he drops dead.

Followed by the tagline.

Lonely Potato. It's drop-dead delicious.

Check the "conscience line" on the back of the bag.

And for the closing line.

Marron Confectionery.

If one of two people has to die, why is it always the man?

Because our female model is still under contract.

But wouldn't it make more sense if the female model ate them too?

We'd have to pay a penalty fee first.

Dropping her would mean three times her original fee.

Are we supposed to pay that?

I like it.

On second thought,

I see no problem.

The commercial is incredibly fresh and really speaks to today's youth.

The promise not to sell a bag of air but to fill it to the line.

This "conscience line" was shown so well.

Yes, that conscience line.

Wasn't that your idea too, Dr. Ham?

You didn't spend much on the design, but with just a single line...

Gosh. That is something else.

- I'll contact the female model. - What's your secret?

What's the secret to pulling it off so successfully every single time?

You have to be crazy.

You mean crazy passionate, right?

- No. - What?

I'm saying the world has to be crazy.

I mean, I'm just spitballing here, so why...

Why does everything keep working out?

By the way, what happened to your forehead?

That's what I'm about to find out.

Just pick the design you like best, and let's go with it!

All right.

Hey, how is it a perfect tie? Hold on. One, two, three, four...

What? Who hasn't voted yet?

Is it you again, Ms. Round?

I was just about to...

Yours is the deciding vote.

You know it, right? This is a five-million-dollar project.

Darn it. I should've just voted quickly and blended in.

He just needs a scapegoat.

What are you doing?

Right. Okay, let me see.

Where should I put my vote?

Hello, sir.

Dr. Ham, what brings you here?

I heard about the new snack meeting, so I thought I would stop by.

We're glad to have you. Please, have a seat here.

- No, I'll just sit over... - Where? Which one?

- Right this way. - Here you go.

Please, sit.

Dr. Ham, your timing is perfect.

We were just picking a package design...

for our new product, Lonely Potato.

We'd be grateful for a dash of your brilliant insight.

Do any of these...

grab you?

But shouldn't the team's opinion be what matters most here?

Excuse me?

What do you think?

Pardon? Me?

Yes.

You don't like any of them?

- No, it's just... - Not your style, I guess?

Then what about this one?

You don't like it?

Not the style you're looking for?

- You like new releases, don't you? - Sorry?

I want to have the latest phone too.

What is this?

Why do I keep remembering something?

Okay, how about this one? Is this one no good either?

Maybe it'd go better with regular coffee...

instead of one with cream?

The truth is, I really crave one with cream.

This is weird.

Something I'm not meant to remember keeps trying to come back to me.

All right.

How about this one? Still no good?

Doesn't it look good from this angle?

I'm done trying harder!

Darn it.

What was that?

Is it a crime to like that song? So what if I do?

Why not? I'm allowed my own preferences.

I want to have the latest phone too.

I know it looks better.

And even when I get regular coffee just because it's ten cents cheaper,

the truth is, I really crave one with cream.

And when I met that jerk Byeong Jun on our group date,

I was actually more into the guy sitting across from me.

But Byeong Jun was the one who came on so strong.

So I just went out with him. Do you get it?

I have songs that I like too.

What I'm saying is, I have my own taste!

I never should have hired you...

three years ago.

You should be on the national team.

- What? - I'm right, aren't I?

You're so thick-headed,

so you should've joined the Winter Games.

Not wasted your talent at this company.

Oh, headbutting isn't a Winter Games sport?

I'm sorry. I was upset and drank too much.

I'm truly sorry.

Are you going to fire me or something?

And if I do, do you have somewhere to go?

Somewhere to go...

I can only turn to the Internet world.

I'll post I was fired unfairly. I'll ask people to hear my side...

and rally the angry netizens.

It's all I can do.

You have this all planned out.

And what? "Fired unfairly?"

Are you really the one being wronged here?

Well, it was a drunken mistake.

I'd never do that sober, obviously.

Then was that just the alcohol talking too?

You prefer coffee with cream and prefer new phones.

And my...

That...

That song is the best. That it was your one and only song.

I don't know about that.

I don't think I said it was the one and only song I'd ever love.

What? What's the meaning of "favorite song?"

Isn't that your go-to karaoke song? Your go-to has to be a single song.

You can't have a bunch of them, can you?

I'm so sorry.

But is it really something to get this angry about?

Look, I just...

Thinking about it, this is weird.

Why do you keep picking apart my personal taste?

Pick... I'm not picking.

I'm just curious.

- About me? - No.

About me.

I'm curious about myself.

I want to know how much of me is still left out there.

What's left out there?

Possibility.

Sorry?

So, do you have a boyfriend yet?

- This takes a lot of hand strength. - Yes, tell me about it.

How many is that now?

Hey, how about we all grab lunch together today?

- What? - It's my treat.

- What? Really? - No way!

I think I'm going to pass on lunch today.

What? But without you,

it won't be "everyone."

Should we just go another time?

Oh, no. You guys go ahead.

I'm on a diet.

Come on.

But Assistant Manager Oh is treating us.

Ji Song.

(Read the room.)

Please read the room.

All right. Well, shall we get going?

- So, what should we get? - Let's get something really good.

We have to get something expensive.

All right, something expensive and delicious, then.

What is all this?

(Seizure notice, Kang Eun Sang Store)

(Kang Eun Sang Store)

Isn't that a seizure sticker?

It's not a seizure notice. I think it's from the Kang Eun Sang Store.

What?

The owner hates people who don't pay back.

What will you do, Ms. Jo?

Looks like you messed with the wrong person.

That crazy wench.

(Inplugged)

Hey, guys, I can't do lunch today.

And Kang Eun Sang Store is the best!

Long live Kang Eun Sang Store!

What's all this about?

Oh, hey.

- Is this one okay? - Yes.

That'll be five dollars.

- Thank you. - Thank you.

- Oh, you're here. - Whether I've lost my appetite or not,

or whether Ji Song eats lunch or not,

Thank you.

Eun Sang is as busy as ever, just trying to make a living.

Open Eun Sang's right desk drawer, and you'll find a whole new world.

Kang Eun Sang Store.

To buy items from this one-stop shop that had everything,

people flocked to the Sales Team every day.

- Welcome. - Hi, I need a pair of stockings.

Prices are lower than anywhere else.

People wonder if the store has the items they want.

It's that uncanny knack of hers for having everything.

These were all major contributors to the store's success.

The greatest factor of all was her own brilliant salesmanship.

Hey, can I get something for a headache?

For a hangover,

a recovery drink is better than pills.

A 3-blade or a 4-blade?

Look, I hear Director Choi is attending the meeting later.

You know Boomer Choi won't let it slide...

if you're not shaven and dressed well.

I've got razors with 3 to 7 blades. Just say the word.

My gosh.

With that stubble, you're going to need the turbo blade.

She had a knack for predicting market trends...

and a brilliance for providing exactly what the customer needed.

You have those throat lozenges? How much for one?

It's five dollars.

What?

Seriously? You're charging five dollars for a single lozenge?

Because I'll throw this in for free.

You were about due for a new pack, weren't you?

A throat lozenge, and the cigarettes are free.

Goodness, you're so clever.

Her fresh approach was another reason,

always thinking outside the box.

- What if I pay with a card? - I'll have to add tax.

She was, in every sense of the word, a master merchant.

But the more successful you become, the more enemies you make.

Excuse me.

- Did you do this? - I did.

You put seizure stickers on my desk? How could you vandalize my desk?

Just a second.

Okay, let's see.

December 22, 2 cup noodles.

December 23, 1 energy drink.

Dec 26, 3 pain patches and a tube of toothpaste that night.

Look, I don't usually run a tab,

but you were so desperate, so I made an exception.

But you never paid me back, so I had no choice.

Fine, I'll pay you!

I just forgot.

It's not like I was trying to stiff you.

Right.

Money is something you can always pay back.

But some debts can never be repaid.

Kim Ji Song.

Who does she think she is, acting up like that?

(Assistant Manager Jo Su Jin)

What's that supposed to mean?

Because you shouldn't be so quick to run your mouth.

That's a debt you can't repay.

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm not taking cards today.

Wire the money to this account, please.

Let's go.

What was that?

It's nothing.

Why that...

Gosh, I'm so upset!

- How much? - How much what?

How much do you make a month from your side hustle?

In a month?

About six...

Six hundred?

You're crazy!

What? Lunch is on you today.

You're buying coffee too. Right, I'll have that cake.

Chocolate and cheesecake flavors.

Gosh, 600 dollars?

Unbelievable.

It's a little less than 60 dollars a month.

Let's just go.

Lunch is on me today.

Really?

By the way, why did Kang Eun Sang Store...

put on seizure stickers?

That's what I heard.

- Oh, really? - Oh, let me get that for you.

- Thank you. - Of course.

Hey, what's all this?

- Why are you only serving Ji Song? - What?

You're right.

My plate is empty too.

Oh, right. I'll get you some.

Earlier, I saw him put two napkins under Ji Song's spoon.

Oh, no, that's not it.

It's true.

He said he'd only buy us lunch if Ji Song came.

What is all this? What's going on between you two?

- Are you... - That's not it.

I have a boyfriend.

Stop trying to make it a thing.

I'm just going to go get some water.

Okay.

Ji Song, Mr. Oh is a good catch, don't you think?

What?

I think you and Mr. Oh would be a cute couple.

A guy like Mr. Oh isn't a bad prospect for you.

I told you, I have a boyfriend.

I know,

but isn't he a foreigner or something?

That's so long-distance.

Doesn't that make you anxious?

Plus, it seems like you two barely talk these days.

That's not true.

We talk all the time.

Okay, fine. No need to shout.

You scared me.

It happens.

(Lunch with coworkers. Hope your lunch is good too!)

So you said you had a boyfriend?

Well, what do you expect? He asked all of a sudden.

Is it that obvious I don't have one?

Oh, don't be ridiculous.

But that guy's something else.

He didn't ask you if you "had" a boyfriend.

He said "yet." What's that supposed to mean?

How did he know you just broke up with someone?

I know, right?

It probably just came out that way.

Whatever. You won't see him again, so just forget about it.

Actually, we're not quite done.

What do you mean?

He gave me this.

What is this?

An invitation to a live club? He said to bring my boyfriend.

He said he was going to be there tomorrow too.

- Gosh. - You must be a terrible liar.

So he's trying to see for himself if you actually have a boyfriend.

What am I going to do?

I just took it in the moment, but who am I going to go there with?

Just go on a blind date.

You just need a guy to go with you tomorrow, right?

Go on a blind date. I'll get my people on it.

Are you in a gang or something?

Just leave it to me.

My stomach really hurts.

Does anyone have something for indigestion?

(Averages)

I do.

I have some. Want me to bring it for you?

I'll come by for it later.

I feel sick from eating with them.

Anyway, Da Hae, have any selfies?

Exchanging photos is a must for a blind date, you know.

Go look through your photo gallery. Come on.

(Jung Da Hae)

This looks like my grandma's photo album.

No way. This looks like my grandma's album.

Which senior center are you from? This is not going to work.

Let's start with a photo op.

- To Da Hae's after work! - Okay.

But Eun Sang, why are you so quiet?

Don't just ignore us, Eun Sang.

Okay.

What are you all doing? Hurry up. Get a move on!

The Materials Management Department is in chaos.

Why? What's going on?

- A fire at the Cheongju Factory. - What?

The Materials Management Department has to pull all-nighters from today.

I hear it's chaos.

Oh gosh, that's terrible. That's so rough for them.

- Who told you that? - Hoppang Bite.

"Hoppang Bite?"

It's an ID on the company board.

They post all the office gossip here.

You know Manager Jo from PR?

- Yes. - They revealed he wears a toupee,

and Assistant Manager Choi and Assistant Manager Sung in HR...

had a fling and then broke up, making it weird.

They don't use real names, but you know exactly who they mean.

But still, exposing someone for wearing a toupee...

is crossing a line.

They haven't posted anything about me, have they?

- Sorry? Well, that's... - Have they posted about me?

No, of course not.

Who is it? Who's been bad-mouthing me?

- It's nothing, sir. - Get over here, you little punks!

If anyone was bad-mouthing you, you think I'd just let it slide?

Why did you turn it off?

- It's not what you think. - Show me!

Umbrellas? Why umbrellas?

There's a 90-percent chance of rain tomorrow.

People who don't check the forecast, the ones who know but are too lazy,

and especially the folks in the Materials Department...

who can't go home tonight.

With all of them, we can sell 30 in no time.

Gosh, all you ever think about is making a quick buck.

And what do you think about?

Goodness, look at all this mold.

Hey, those are my pets. Watch your mouth.

Gross.

I told my landlord I was moving out, but I haven't heard back.

I even said they could show it to prospective tenants whenever.

Do you even have a new place lined up?

There are plenty of places. I've got one in Cheongdam...

and another one in Pangyo.

It's just that I can't afford them.

Exactly.

You need to invest more in crypto.

Stop playing around with ten dollars.

Don't you have more saved up?

- Like your savings account. - My savings? Are you kidding?

- To the moon? - What?

I'm telling you, we have to go all the way to the moon.

You think you can afford a ticket to the moon with that?

If we're going, we have to go big.

Okay. Everybody up.

Perfect.

Ta-da!

We got it.

- All right. Next. - Again?

Laugh, naturally. Like you're having fun.

We're all best friends, remember?

One, two, three.

Done.

This really looks like we were on Jeju Island.

Hey, you've got a gift.

Not bad.

Well, you have to have at least one vacation selfie.

Okay. Here.

- Here, put these on. - What are these?

Swimsuits?

The concept's a beach in Jeju, so we have to wear swimsuits.

Swimsuits? In the dead of winter? Are you crazy?

Relax, it's just from the waist up. You can just keep your pants on.

Isn't this a bit much?

We need this level of realism to pass off a fake as the real deal.

If you don't want to, just tell him that you lied.

- That you don't have a boyfriend. - Okay, fine.

But seriously, this is a bit much, don't you think?

What size are these?

What is this freak show?

- Why not? - Gosh, it's too small.

You guys look great.

- It's so tight. Gosh. - Gosh.

Hurry up. Just take the picture already.

Okay, I get it. Welcome to Jeju!

Make it sexy, you guys.

Three,

two, three, two, three.

Two, three.

Two, three.

This place may not look like much, but it has a great layout.

- Go on, take a good look around. - Oh, my gosh!

My goodness!

Get dressed!

What's this? Why are you home?

Where else would I be? I live here.

What are you doing here, ma'am?

You said you were moving,

so I brought someone by to see it.

You're the one who gave me the code. You said I could come by anytime!

You could've at least called first.

Check your phone. I called you more than ten times!

You said if you didn't pick up, I should just let myself in!

Oh, you did call.

Ma'am, we'll look elsewhere. This place isn't right for my child.

- No, ma'am. - I'm sorry.

Ma'am, it's not like that! Wait!

Goodness, what a bunch of weirdos you are.

Running around half-naked at night.

Put on some clothes!

- We are dressed! - We are dressed!

It's not that I wanted to go.

No, it wasn't that I didn't like her, either.

I'm just not in a place to be seeing anyone right now.

You're right. Point taken.

I deserved that drink thrown at me for having such a rotten mindset.

I zoned out for a second and was incredibly rude to her.

Gosh.

Mom, you sound pretty worked up right now.

Why don't you relax for a moment in somewhere nice and cool?

(Mother)

(Marron Confectionery)

What are you getting for lunch?

The cafeteria is serving spicy pork today.

Yes, spicy pork!

Let's go.

Aren't you getting lunch, Da Hae?

Oh, I have to be somewhere.

A great place just opened up near your work.

It's going to get snapped up fast. Hurry over and take a look.

Come on in.

It's south-facing, so it gets great light.

It's great for drying laundry...

and perfect for keeping houseplants.

And here's the bathroom.

There's a step up. There's a threshold.

So what do you think? It's nice, right?

How much is this place?

It's going to cost you this much more.

What? Is that too much of a stretch?

(Dangsan Station)

You're kidding me!

You really made that much money so quickly?

Watch this.

I'm about to pay off my debt.

(Loan Repayment)

(Living Expense Support Loan, Full repayment)

(Processing)

(Processing)

(Your loan has been paid in full.)

(Your loan has been paid in full.)

See that? I just paid off Living Expense Support Loan.

Gosh, I can't believe I saw that in person. Incredible.

I still have so much left on my student loans.

That's why you need to get on board. The crypto train.

Put some more money in.

Stop messing around with that measly ten dollars.

Don't you get it?

For us, it's our only out.

The crypto train?

(Enderium, 40.80 dollars)

What?

It actually went up a bit.

Then again, I only put in ten dollars.

Transfer complete.

Insufficient funds.

Miss, your card was declined.

Miss, you need to add more money to your card.

I wish I had money to add.

Miss!

Yes?

It's raining.

- It's Rain! - No way! This is awesome!

It's Rain! It's really him, Rain!

- Is it raining right now? - Rain is here!

Rain is here! He's here!

But it's not raining.

No, I'm talking about Jeong Ji Hoon.

- Kim Tae Hee's husband. - What?

He's on the first floor in a meeting about our ad campaign.

- We have to go get his autograph. - Darn it!

Never mind.

What is this?

I'm so sorry.

Do you really think "sorry" is going to fix this?

You copied and pasted everything from last year.

Since when does February have 31 days?

What are you, Ji Song? "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time?"

- It just slipped my mind. - Slipped your mind?

Some things can't slip your mind.

Fix every last one of these before you go home.

- Got it? - Yes.

Wait, what?

You mean today?

But I already booked a flight for today.

So?

Are you saying you can't do it?

No.

I'll have to do it.

I have to, right?

Gosh. It'll take forever to fix all this.

- Want me to help you out? - What?

I can just push my blind date back.

Besides, I've been feeling down all day anyway.

Forget it.

Don't all office workers feel bad?

You go on your date. I'll help you.

I appreciate it, you guys,

but these documents are confidential.

I have to do it by myself.

Aren't you going to miss your flight?

I'll just have to make sure I don't.

Who's she calling?

The National Weather Service. She's asking when it'll rain.

- Did you get through? - Yes, I think I'm about to.

She's been saying that for an hour.

- She should just give up already. - Oh, my!

- Eun Sang, you're still here. - Oh, yes.

- Hello. - That's a rare sight.

You usually leave at Mach speed the second the clock strikes five.

Oh, right.

The Materials Department is leaving. You should head out soon too.

What? The Materials Department is leaving?

They're not pulling an all-nighter?

I guess factory work ended early. They were all heading out.

What?

Since we don't have to work late, want to grab a drink?

No.

Oh, no, this can't be happening.

But it's not even raining yet.

No! This can't be happening.

Gosh, Eun Sang.

Connecting you to an operator now.

Thank you for calling the National Weather Service.

Hello?

Is this the National Weather Service?

Didn't your forecast say it was going to rain today?

What? The cloud formation just changed?

You're supposed to give a forecast, not a live play-by-play!

What are you, a sports announcer calling a soccer match?

What about my umbrellas?

- My umbrellas! - Goodness, Eun Sang.

- Eun Sang! - Are you okay?

Eun Sang!

Gosh, she's terrifying.

Eun Sang, are you okay?

(Marron Confectionery)

- Ji Song. - You scared me!

Sorry about that.

- You're still here? - Yes.

By any chance, do you need some help?

Sure, I guess.

What?

All done.

Thank you, Mr. Oh. I really mean it.

Not at all.

- Should I put this here? - Oh, yes, right there. Thanks.

Hey, Ji Song, let me give you a ride.

What? Oh no, that's okay.

But you're going to the airport, right?

I just got a new car, and it's really nice.

Come on, you'll be late. Hurry!

- Come on. - Oh, okay.

Let's go. Yes. Come on.

So, Da Hae, what do you do for fun?

For fun?

Hanging out, sleeping, and eating.

I'm a big fan of hiking.

I actually went to Bukhan Mountain last week,

and the breeze at the summit felt amazing.

Oh, right.

As for me...

My friend Ji Song loves surfing. You know her, right?

That's how she met her boyfriend.

Right. I know.

- So what about you, Da Hae? - And our coworker, Eun Sang,

she sometimes watches bullfights in Cheongdo on her days off.

She says watching bulls lock horns melts her stress away, apparently.

Oh, okay. That's interesting.

Yes, right?

So what about you, Da Hae? What do you do on your days off?

On my days off?

I just veg out.

I also enjoy playing the piano.

I can even play quite a few songs by heart.

I'll have to play for you sometime.

Yes, that'd be great.

So what about you, Da Hae?

I...

I guess I like to read.

Oh? You like reading?

I love reading.

Have you read any good books recently?

The last thing I enjoyed reading was...

was...

the "Practical Excel Guide" manual.

Oh, Excel?

Oh, right. Excel.

Yes, spreadsheets are important, for sure.

For office workers.

We've really hit a lot of traffic.

(Friday, December 29)

Would you like a piece of gum?

Oh, no, I'm good.

Now that you're gone

Falling in your dream

I don't want to wake up, it goes on and on

Promised that I'll never forget you

And I know I can't live without you

Wait a second. You were given these tickets?

- Yes, from my boss at work. - Gosh.

What a great boss. This is a really popular venue.

Oh, yes, I can tell.

Everything is all blue

Thank you.

Before we play our next song for you,

we have a special guest vocalist joining us tonight.

Now, how can I best describe him?

An ill-fated singer who was forced to retire the moment he debuted?

A tragic genius ahead of his time?

Anyway, he's a singer! Yes, a singer.

Please welcome singer-songwriter Ham Ji Woo!

I'm here to sing, so there's no need for a long speech, right?

This song launched my career and ended it all at once.

I'll sing it for you now.

What are you doing up there?

In a corner of the dawn sky

Another star appears in the weeping woods.

In the blink of an eye, right above my head

Pouring down like rain

A beautiful day

Even the sun and the moon are on my side

Shining just for me

Oh, please love me

In my empty heart

It's full of stars

Thank you. It's been a while since I performed,

so I don't feel like leaving yet.

How about I take a request?

All right, let's see...

You! The lady in the middle!

Yes, you in the pink jacket, the one looking around!

Yes? Me?

Yes, you. Do you have a request?

A request for what?

No pressure. Just say whatever comes to mind.

For some reason, I'm just so curious to know...

what your taste in music is.

Seriously, what's his problem?

Or you could ask for an encore of the song I just sang. It's fine.

I'm so broke I can't even afford my streaming service, you jerk.

My mind's a total blank.

A request...

A song request.

A song request.

"Southbound Train," please.

"Southbound Train?" Seriously?

A train?

What train?

South...

"Southbound Train?"

He just put me on the spot.

"Southbound Train."

You got it.

Darn it.

Why did I have to think of that song?

Her taste is really something. "Southbound Train."

Goodness.

On the rainy Honam Line

On the southbound train

Through the rattling windowpane

The raindrops streak and run

And so do my tears

My lost first love washes away

It stuck.

Yoon Hwan! Hey!

Are you okay? Hey!

Somebody call 911! Hey!

- Is he okay? - Yoon Hwan!

Hey!

Are you okay? Oh gosh!

(Emergency Care Center)

- What should I do? What do I do? - What?

Are you all right?

Do I look all right to you?

What an unlucky day.

If you give me your bank account, I'll help with your medical bills...

So the kind of person...

who requests "Southbound Train" in a Hongdae club...

must have a thing for guys like that.

Excuse me?

And do me a favor. Don't go around saying you like my music, okay?

What are you talking about?

It's just that your taste in general seems a bit...

A bit what?

Lousy.

- Excuse me? - For you to like my music...

I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Feel what?

Not right.

- Listen. - From now on,

just say you have no taste.

I'm not judging.

I just think it'd be better for you. Just some friendly advice.

I'm off.

And about your friend's medical bill...

Just send me the bill. All right?

Hey!

I have my own taste.

Excuse me?

- I'm just broke. - What?

Do you even know what taste is?

It's about finding that one thing that truly speaks to you among many.

And do you know how you find that one thing?

By trying new things.

You keep trying things over and over to find what's perfect for you.

But people like me with no money, can't do that.

You know why? Because we can't afford to fail.

Opportunities to try new things aren't just lying around for us.

You're talking too fast.

But even in this pathetic life, when I say I like something,

it's for real.

It's not to be taken lightly.

What I'm saying is, all the new phones are so beautiful,

Then you should go sell phones in Yongsan.

And cream coffee is seriously delicious.

Sure, and Americanos are delicious, too.

And your music is genuinely good, too!

Even if you're a mean-spirited, rotten person,

your song is just that good!

You don't know anything. Jerk.

I missed my flight.

- I'm so sorry. - Hey, watch it!

Seriously...

Ji Song? Gosh...

Gosh.

Give it here. Why are you looking at this, Mr. Oh?

No, I wasn't looking at it.

I was just picking it up for you.

I should've gone today.

That was my only chance to change his mind.

Change his mind? Whose mind?

Why?

Wei Lin's.

He's cheating on me!

Wei Lin...

But...

Wait, what are you talking about?

Break up with him! Right now!

It's easy for you to say since it's not happening to you.

I'm not trying to be insensitive.

No. It's just that I hate seeing you treated this way.

Ji Song. I really like you.

What? That came out of nowhere.

I'd like you even if you had smelly feet.

Smelly feet?

Yes. Even if you went to a bar and ordered ridiculously overpriced,

totally bland canned peaches, I'd still like you.

And even if you go to a bakery and poke all the bread...

you have no intention of buying...

Wait a second!

What's with these cringey habits? Are you saying I'm like that?

No. Even if you were,

even if you were that kind of person,

I'm saying I would still like you.

And I would never cheat on you.

Why?

Because you're you.

I can put up with anything.

Ji Song, where are you going?

- Hey, what are you doing? - Me?

My feet don't stink, and I don't order peaches at a bar.

But this, right here...

I'm the type of girl who sees this and just has to pull it.

What?

Do you still think you can handle it?

Ji Song, calm down. You're getting a little worked up.

- First, let's just talk about this. - You said you'd put up with it.

Ji Song.

- You'll really put up with it? - Oh, don't!

This is a brand-new car!

Don't just tolerate things, Assistant Manager Oh.

Yes?

You can put up with other things, but when it comes to your love life,

you should be with someone you adore instead of settling.

Why should love be about enduring? Why compromise on your type?

I refuse to live like that.

Then what's your type, Ji Song?

Let me try to guess.

You can't.

Well... I'll try.

I'm supposed to be guessing, but I can't even think of anything.

Someone handsome!

I don't care about anything else. They just have to be very handsome!

Oh...

- Mr. Oh, are you crying? - No, I'm not.

But you are. You're crying.

Is it because of me?

No, it's not that.

I saw my face in the rearview mirror,

and I'm just so ugly.

There's ugly, but I'm just absurdly ugly.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, Ji Song.

I'm so sorry I only like handsome guys.

No, it's okay. Ji Song, please don't cry.

- I'll turn the heater down a notch. - Okay.

Take care.

- Hello. - The item?

Excuse me?

(Hakjong High School 10th Alumni Association)

Thank you.

(Black garlic extract)

Thank you...

Oh, by any chance,

are you selling the leftovers for cheap?

What?

It was supposed to rain today, but it didn't,

so I took a huge loss.

I've got to make it up somehow.

Does anyone need an umbrella?

I've got every color.

I'm not sure what you mean.

It's okay. Never mind.

Kang Eun Sang?

Fancy seeing you here.

I didn't expect to see you here.

Oh, you know.

I was just in the neighborhood.

You came for the freebies, didn't you?

- Of course you are. - Yes.

I can get a good price for them if I sell them secondhand.

Or you could just buy it from me right now.

You really haven't changed a bit.

Why? You got a problem with it?

No problem,

but I hold a little grudge against you.

We were starting a business together,

and you ghosted me only five years ago.

I was counting on you, and I lost everything because of it.

So it's only natural for me to hold a grudge, right?

And?

Didn't I pay you back?

The money you invested. I paid you back every last cent.

Hey, was it just about the money?

What about all the time I wasted?

Fine.

I'm sorry.

I am, but...

after that, you opened a tripe eatery and a cocktail bar.

And you ruined them all, didn't you?

Even if it hadn't been with me,

the outcome would've been the same.

What's this about your time being so precious...

that you're pinning it all on me?

You've got some nerve.

I'm leaving.

Just help me out!

What?

No one's going to blame you...

for being so obsessed with money.

Right, after that whole mess happened...

because of some stupid money.

But...

if you keep acting like this,

I'll just keep playing dumb.

The cold, heartless witch you want me to be.

So just give me a break.

Let me pity you in peace, will you?

I'm sorry.

I lost my temper earlier.

I keep forgetting.

I'm in no position...

to dare...

get angry at anyone.

I sincerely apologize.

You quit?

Of course.

You must be busy.

You have to make money.

I have to make a lot of money too.

On that note, how about a little cheer?

Go, Korea Meteorological Administration!

And go, Kang Eun Sang!

(Black garlic extract)

(Jung Da Hae)

- Hello? - Hey.

- Just do it. - I haven't even said anything yet.

I said, just do it.

If it works out, great.

If it doesn't, so what?

You can just start over.

You know.

If you do nothing...

Nothing happens.

Yes.

I know.

I do.

(Cancel savings account)

(Cancel)

(Are you sure you want to cancel your savings account?)

(Your account is canceled)

(Confirm Enderium buy order)

"Taste" is just where your heart leads you.

Wei Lin, you seriously...

You cheater.

If you cheat, I die, you die.

Everybody dies. Okay?

No! Don't worry.

You're the only one for me, Ji Song.

Trust me.

Look. I even bought this for us to share.

Some hearts fall for good looks, no matter what.

While others are fixed on a past they can't change.

(Buy order successfully placed)

(Enderium)

So where is my heart headed right now?

Just browsing again today?

Nope.

I'll choose this one.

This place is just my style.

Right now, my heart is aiming for the moon.

Reaching for that high, dazzling moon.

I've only ever admired them from a distance.

The things that were truly my taste that I thought I could never have.

Now, I refuse to give up on any of them.

So what other choice do I have?

I guess I'll...

make some real money.

(To the Moon)

(We thank Roh Jeong Eui, Kang Tae Oh, Zhang Hao...)

(for their special appearances.)

Hey, isn't that Da Hae?

Hey, what do you think you're doing, drunk again?

"Betrayed by the Mosaic?"

- "Motel Girl's Real Face Exposed." - Wait a minute.

My phone isn't working.

I complained on the station's board.

This is Reporter Kim So Young.

How have you been, ma'am?

Look, an uncensored photo just surfaced.

That's not Da Hae.

You know, Ji Song, you're kind of creeping me out.

Why do you keep messing with me?

Can I help you?

Who are you?

Who did you make that huge mistake with?

There's something I'm curious about. Mind if I ask?

Dr. Han, we are at the company.
