Original subtitles

(This drama is based on the 2018 cryptocurrency market.)

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

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

You coming to?

Da Hae?

Wait, this is a dream, right?

What? How'd you know right away?

Well, because you're spouting a bunch of gibberish.

And there are subtitles appearing everywhere.

Hold on.

You could've just left it.

(Korean)

There.

Here I was, hoping to be trilingual, at least in my dream.

Are we on a tour or something?

Are we going on another trip?

A trip? As if.

Good morning, passengers.

Thank you for riding with us today.

Eun Sang? What are you doing here?

- Our train... - What is this?

- Is she cosplaying or something? - departs our miserable reality...

where labor is not valued.

We are now en route to the moon, our final destination.

The moon?

However, due to rapidly changing economic conditions...

and the plummeting KOSPI, KOSDAQ, and NASDAQ,

our train is now headed away from its destination...

and is now bound for Crash Station.

What's going on?

The market's rebound is uncertain.

Due to the nature of Crash Station,

the train may experience severe turbulence,

so please be cautious.

From now on, only those who hang on will survive.

From this moment, our train is scheduled to plunge endlessly.

All passengers are advised to hold on for dear life.

I want to get off.

As for the exits,

they are nonexistent.

- What? - Seatbelt.

Ji Song.

See you at rock bottom.

No!

(Enderion)

That crypto train is really something else.

I just started, and I'm already having nightmares?

No!

(Episode 7: The Art of Buying the Dip)

As if it'd be up already.

Good morning.

Thanks for the food.

Oh, Lord.

Since I took in this little lamb who spent money like water…

to have no shelter nor direction,

it...

In any case, it has been quite a while.

Amen.

And yet, this little lamb isn't content with just his room.

For she does not clean up her own dishes,

nor does she once lift a finger to vacuum.

She takes one shower and makes the bathroom a water park.

- Hey, Kim Ji Song. - Her abuse of the AC and heating...

will contribute greatly to this month's rising utility bill.

I ought to roast you on a skewer, but even that wouldn't satisfy me.

Please forgive me, for I have sinned.

But with my great benevolence, I shall forgive you this once.

Amen.

Hurry up and eat.

About the crypto...

It dropped more since yesterday.

You're sure it's going to be okay?

Don't worry.

A drop in crypto...

means it's the perfect time to buy more.

We don't work this hard for nothing.

It's because our salaries aren't enough.

Here you go! Clean plates!

When the bull market comes, you can only watch from the side.

You have to buy...

at the dip so you're laughing when it blooms.

Let's just tough it out a bit longer.

A brighter future awaits.

Let's go!

I appreciate the pep talk, but...

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

What, you thought trading crypto was a walk in the park?

- Kind of? - No matter how you live your life,

- life is just a freaking grind. - life is just a freaking grind.

Let's go.

Gosh, why is it doing this again? Why won't it work?

Gosh, seriously.

What?

(Ham Ji Woo)

What are you doing?

I told you, it was a business trip. I'm not going for fun.

What? Seriously, I'm going to Saudi Arabia,

and you're asking your son to run an errand for you?

It's not that I won't do it, but...

Yes.

Right.

I'm sorry if it came off that way.

Okay.

(Jung Da Hae)

Okay, got it. The 24th at 7:00 p.m.

Got it. Okay.

Why would I sound happy?

Every day is just the same old thing.

- Okay, I get it. - I'm hanging up now, Mom. Bye.

Yes, hello?

Did you enjoy the movie?

What?

- Yes. - I see.

So what part did you like the most?

Well...

The part where the father...

said he'd sacrifice everything for his children.

A line like that was really moving.

It really tugged at my heartstrings.

But that's from the commercial they played...

before the movie started.

You must've been really moved by that insurance ad.

So a sacrificing father was the wrong answer.

Gosh, you're unbelievable.

I wanted to see you just for a bit before my trip,

and I barely managed to get away.

I'm so sorry.

I was just so tired.

Why?

Is something wrong...

Is this about that incident?

What?

What incident?

Oh...

(Hoppang Bite)

If I look suspicious now, I'm done for.

Oh! Wait, hold on!

- Gosh... - Jung Da Hae...

- What are you two doing? - What?

What are you doing? Are you insane?

It's not what it looks like.

My hair got caught on Dr. Ham's button.

So that's the excuse we're going with.

What were you doing to get your hair caught like that?

Greeting him. Yes. While I was bowing.

You told us, Mr. Ko, to bow 90 degrees to our superiors.

I was just doing as I was taught, and my head just had to get stuck.

- Right? - She was just being respectful.

What are you doing? Just cut it or fix it!

- I'll help you. - No, it's okay!

I couldn't wash my hair yesterday, so it probably smells pretty bad.

We'll take care of this in private. Just the two of us.

Right.

What was that? Why are Jung Da Hae and Dr. Ham together?

Are they dating?

Are you crazy?

What other reason could there be? Maybe she has some dirt on Dr. Ham?

No way.

Looks like Dr. Ham's in big trouble.

(Kim Tae Su)

- Take care. - Just tell them that it's true.

- What? - If people keep bothering you,

just tell them we're dating.

I don't mind at all. In fact, it's more than that.

I actually want everyone at the company to know.

Pretending to be strangers at work is really getting on my nerves.

You know what? Maybe I should just...

get it all out in the open myself.

I shouldn't, right?

Probably not. Right.

Just do whatever you want, Da Hae.

I'll follow your lead.

(Marron Confectionery)

They said it only did well at first.

I'm losing my mind.

As if I'm not exhausted enough.

This stupid Hoppang Bite thing is making it even worse.

I'm so exhausted.

Gosh, I tried so hard to get the last word in on that.

What did you write?

The usual.

I told them I'd screenshot it all for a defamation suit.

You should've threatened to take their heads off.

Wait a minute. So marketing had the wrong audience?

- How is this our fault? - Then whose is it?

It's your fault...

you couldn't handle the marketing of a visionary like me.

We didn't fail to keep up.

We refused. Because it was tacky.

Tacky, is it? And I suppose you're just so classy?

- What? - Calling me cheap?

- You want to take this outside? - Want to go right now?

- Fine, let's go! - Go?

Hey, both of you, knock it off.

Come on, we're all on the same team.

Stay out of this, old man.

Gosh, I hate being polite to you.

Why do you keep aging by the hour?

It's unsettling.

Hey! I showed you my ID at my place when we drank.

I'm a year younger than you.

Keep it down. What is this? Where did we go wrong?

I don't know about all that,

but this sales drop is not our fault.

We did our part.

And you think we didn't?

Jjokko Jjokko Jjong! Mellong Pong!

We launched a campaign and did both online and offline promotions.

And I'll say it, anything is better than that annoying "poot" sound.

I think just repeating the name would've been better.

Jjok-ko-ko-ko-ko, Mel-long-long-long-long.

No, I would've kept it simple. See? Chocong! Melong!

See? Just clean and simple!

Look at how tacky that is.

It's Jjokko Jjokko! Mellong Mellong!

I've told you many times, this is it.

Hey! That's enough. Go sit down.

You have to see it for yourselves.

Hey, Ms. Round.

Ms. Round, where are you? Hey, Ms. Round!

Yes?

Pull up our campaign video, will you?

They need to see it.

- Yes. - Here, watch this.

- Fine, let's see it. - Gosh, I swear...

(Enderion)

(Enderion)

Turn it off!

Turn it off.

What is this?

(Enderion)

Turn it off!

- Hey! - What? What's wrong?

Turn it off!

(Enderion)

I'm so sorry.

Why won't it turn off?

- Just a minute. - Hey!

Unplug it!

Hurry!

Unplug it, right!

Da Hae, do you invest in crypto?

Just brilliant.

There's always something with you.

Always something.

But how am I supposed to do all this...

A pine caterpillar eats pine needles,

and an employee lives on their salary.

To earn your pay, you must work.

Those who do not work shall not eat. Haven't you heard that?

With this much work, I won't have time to eat, anyway.

What, no time to eat? Then maybe you should eat less.

You eat too much. That's why you have no time. Now, go.

Okay.

Just how much does she eat?

Kids these days are so greedy, always looking to get rich quick?

I just can't stand to see it.

Tae Su, you're young. What about you?

Money comes second to me. Diligence and sincerity.

Right. Diligence and sincerity. That's why I like you.

- Thank you. - That's what people should be.

Kids these days just don't get it. Always looking for a big score.

A punch is the "one shot" they need. They've all gone mad.

(Memo: April 23, 67 points)

(Jinja, Japanese Cuisine)

- Oh my, her waist is so tiny. - Gosh, darn, I'm almost late.

- You made it. - Oh, goodness.

Did I really have to get caught then?

Gosh, I don't know. Maybe I'm just cursed this year.

Didn't Mr. Ko chew you out?

"Why are you trading crypto?" "Trying to hit the jackpot or what?"

"Kids these days are too greedy," Yes, the nagging already started.

I said the same thing too.

Hey. You just hated crypto.

He hates that I'm the one into crypto.

It's not the same thing at all.

- What's that supposed to mean? - What do you think it means?

I'm saying Ko Dae Young has zero respect for me.

Gosh, why do you think he nicknamed me Ms. Round?

Do I look even a little bit round to you?

The reason he nicknamed me Ms. Round...

was a teaser to how he planned to harass me.

- And I didn't even realize it. - What an absolute jerk.

"Jerk" isn't a strong enough word for a guy like that.

He's a jerk, a pig, and a menace, a five-alarm dumpster fire,

and a face you hope to never see again.

This looks nice.

- Welcome! - Pretty good, right?

We're so dead.

Let's sit down.

Gosh, this place has a great vibe, right?

The night view is amazing, right?

Of all places, why did that jerk have to come here?

You guys know we're not allowed to have second jobs, right?

Remember Ms. Jin from Materials?

She got a three-month pay cut for doing a web novel...

as a side job on a portal site.

Three months?

What kind of novel did she write?

An office drama, where a subordinate takes her boss...

Falling in love?

- A romance? - No way.

She deals with the devil to kill him.

A fantasy.

Sounds more like a documentary.

Anyway, if they find out we're working part-time, we're dead.

Mr. Ko is already on my case.

If he finds out about this...

Excuse me! We're ready to order!

- Go ahead and pick. - What should we get?

Gosh, what's taking them so long?

Excuse me!

Are you ready to order?

Darn it, my feet are killing me.

Two of the Course A.

Got it.

Did a delinquent just take our order?

I almost gave her my lunch money.

Anyway, Mr. Ko, how's work life treating you?

Let's just say the company would fall apart without me.

Oh, is that right?

- Can I get some water? - Yes!

Gosh, you startled me!

Here is your water.

Thank you.

Thank you.

This place is full of characters.

What about your team? How are they?

What can you expect from that bunch?

Gosh, hey, can we order some drinks?

- I'm too scared to order from them. - Excuse me. We'd like some drinks.

Why? Are your team members giving you a hard time?

We live in an OECD member country,

one of the world's top ten economies,

and yet these kids go all-in on gambles like stocks and crypto.

If people like us built the pillars of this economy,

you'd think they could get by just by doing their jobs.

But those empty-headed fools are always chasing a "One Shot."

They just want to hit it big! What they need is a hit to the head.

Gosh. Can't stand the sight of them.

Hey.

Why'd you come back out?

I don't feel like being nice to them.

Go on.

- Excuse me, can we get a menu? - Yes, right away.

What's wrong?

What's with him?

What is it? Are you choking?

Wait, what's happening? What's wrong?

- Hey! - Excuse me!

Sir! I need you to stand up. Get up!

Wait a second. What do I do?

I'm alive.

I went to the other side and back.

I even saw a ghost.

A ghost?

Gosh. That was a close call.

(Jinja, Japanese Cuisine)

- Good work tonight. - You all did a great job.

Da Hae. Here, this is for you.

- What? What's this? - It's a tip.

It's from that man you saved earlier.

He left it for you on his way out.

What? Mr. Ko? I mean...

You're telling me that man gave her a tip?

Why not? She earned it.

- Da Hae saved his life. - No, it was nothing.

- Go on, take it. - But...

How much is it?

Come on, open it up.

Hey, keep it down...

- Five hundred dollars? - Five hundred dollars?

Wait, is this for real?

So you're saying Mr. Ko gave her 500 dollars as a tip?

- Think it's fake? - What?

- Give it here. I have to return it. - What?

What? Why?

What do you mean, "why?" You'd take money from that jerk?

Money is money, no matter the source.

Who cares who gave it to you?

That's right. It's not like you stole it from him.

Mr. Ko was really drunk.

He couldn't have been in his right mind.

Still...

Forget it.

What if he comes and demands it back?

We need to return it before this becomes a problem.

- How? - How?

He can't find out we have side jobs.

And you can't just go up to him and be like,

"Hey, here. This is the tip you gave me."

So how will you return it discreetly?

Come on. How hard can it be to return one envelope of cash?

I'll get it done before lunch tomorrow.

Just you watch.

Gosh, Da Hae is so weird sometimes. You know?

If it were me, I'd say thank you very much...

and just take the money.

- Ji Song. - Imagine if...

she'd invested in crypto.

Gosh. She could've taken a break from work.

Ji Song.

Look, I really like her, you know?

But sometimes I worry about her.

How will she get by in this world, being so stubbornly principled?

It's a huge problem. Huge.

Kim Ji Song.

(Electricity bill, Final Notice)

What do you have to say about this?

This month's electricity bill is a whopping 250 dollars.

What do you have to say about that?

I don't believe I'm responsible for that.

What do you mean, not you?

You blasted the AC when you were hot,

and then you said you were cold and turned on the electric blanket.

You pulled all that ridiculous crap, and now look what happened!

I even gave you a room to yourself, and this is how you repay me?

But...

- You're paying from now on. - What?

Everything you eat, wear, and use in this house...

I'm going to get back every last penny from you.

Like my pocket change is going to help our finances.

Maybe it'll help you finally get a grip.

From the one who gave me 8,000 dollars for crypto?

You're so petty.

Look, as I've told you a million times,

that was an investment.

Spending money for a future return.

But what you're doing is splurging.

Spending money for instant pleasure.

Those two are completely different,

and I have zero intention of letting it slide.

So pay up.

That ketchup on your corn dog! You're paying for that too!

- You're being so petty. - Pay before you eat!

- I'm not paying! - Pay up! Pay before you eat!

Stay away from me.

No.

I think I'll come right over there.

At least unclench your fists first!

Wait, Eun Sang!

Hey!

Come on, Eun Sang!

Hey, you think this is funny?

Piece of cake.

How's everyone feeling today?

- Great! - Great!

All right, let's have an energetic day.

Let's go!

My goodness, look at this mess.

Ko Dae Young has been working hard.

Time to shred

Everybody shred

Mr. Ko, where are you going?

To toss this out. Why?

- Here, let me. I'll do it. - You will, Ms. Round?

Yes. I actually have some things to organize myself, so...

I'd like to do it. I'll take care of it.

All right, then. Okay.

Da Hae, can you take this for me too?

What?

Then, please take this as well.

- Thank you very much. - Wait, hang on.

Let's start our meeting when Ms. Round gets back.

- Understood. - Okay.

I don't care what it is.

If you have an idea, spit it out.

Got it? I promise I won't get mad.

That's it.

I can slip it into his suit pocket.

Influencer marketing.

Influencers? How last year! Gosh.

How long are we going to keep relying on celebrity marketing?

How about a pop-up store?

Don't you know pop-ups are expensive?

What about our profit margins?

Don't you have any ideas?

Seriously, what's wrong with you all?

Because our Q2 sales dropped,

and everyone's already out for our blood.

Will you ruin the Cocomishu launch too?

You all just want to go down together?

Should we all just jump off a bridge?

What? Why is the pocket sewn shut?

What?

What is it?

- What was that? - Sorry,

Mr. Ko. I saw something.

I didn't even realize. This jacket pocket is sewn shut.

Don't you know opening the pockets ruins the silhouette?

I'm so sorry.

You think "sorry" fixes everything? What?

I can't breathe in here.

Where are you going?

I'm taking a half-day. Don't slack off while I'm gone.

- Ten ideas each. By tomorrow. - Yes, sir.

Even for a silhouette-obsessed guy,

his pants pockets can't be sewn shut.

Gosh.

Gosh, that scared me.

Now, if I just naturally slip this into his back pocket...

Darn it...

Mr. Ko.

What was that Da Hae? Did you just touch my butt?

No, I didn't.

What are you doing, touching my butt?

No, that's not it. The envelope just brushed against...

- An envelope? - No, that's not what I meant.

Mr. Ko, what's with the outfit?

I'm going cycling. To brainstorm. What? You got a problem with it?

No. That's not what I meant.

Gosh, Mr. Ko. You must work out really hard.

The outfit looks great on you. I guess I got too close admiring it.

Maybe I should follow your example and start working out.

Seriously.

Ms. Round, when you act like this, I'm not sure...

- It puts me in a tough spot. - What does?

When you come on to me like this, what am I supposed to do?

You don't have to do anything in particular.

But this is the office! You can't just touch my butt.

No, it's not like I was trying to...

I wasn't trying to touch you...

How old is she?

Excuse me?

What are you talking about?

No, I mean your daughter, Eun Sang.

I'm asking how old she is.

Excuse me?

I've been going back and forth on it.

What with the doll on your monitor,

and that character keychain you always have with you.

Seeing that, I thought you had a kid my daughter's age.

But then, you never talk about your family,

so I wasn't entirely sure.

But lately, I'm pretty sure my hunch is right.

This screams "little daughter," right?

This is a ketchup stain.

It just wouldn't come out in the wash.

- So how old is your daughter? - She's six.

She's the cutest now.

Sounds like she and Ji Song have the same mental age.

Here, take that.

My daughter used to love this.

But now she won't even look at it.

I thought of you,

- so I brought it just for you. - I couldn't possibly...

No, you have to take it. They don't make these anymore,

so it's being resold at a premium.

It's a collector's item, so please...

give it to your daughter, all right?

- Okay? - Yes.

Hair part.

Sideburns. Neat. Idol contacts.

Necktie.

Belt.

New glasses.

All right. Let's do this.

It keeps dropping.

Gosh. Is it right to keep investing?

Ji Song, you haven't left for lunch yet?

Yes, I don't have an appetite.

Hey, Ji Song. My hair...

Are you okay?

What?

No, that's not it. Then what about my eyes?

- Are you in pain or something? - No.

- Then how about my nose... - What is it? What?

What happened to your nose?

Did you get punched?

No. I felt like sprucing myself up.

You what?

Why all of a sudden?

My goodness, Mr. Oh, what happened?

What happened to your nose?

- Don't tell me you got fillers. - What?

Is that what I got? Filler?

Oh my gosh, what's all this? You really got work done?

But why?

I just...

Don't tell me it's because of Ji Song.

- What? - No, it's nothing like that.

Now that's true love. That's what I call true love.

Ji Song.

Just give Assistant Manager Oh a chance already.

Where else are you going to find a guy this devoted to you?

Hey!

Ji Song,

I really don't want to pressure you.

Enjoy your lunch!

It's lunchtime.

But...

Ji Song.

Just give up already. I've never seen anyone so rude.

Gosh, Assistant Manager Jo, you need to stop.

I'm just...

It's my own choice to like her.

Why are you calling Ji Song rude?

For goodness' sake.

Unbelievable.

- A secondhand site? - Yes.

It's a limited edition item, so I can sell it for a lot more.

Then why not keep it? It's so pretty.

I'd rather not. It'll just be a painful reminder.

What about you?

What?

What were you saying yesterday? About the envelope being easy?

You said you'd have it all sorted out before lunch?

How was I to know the pocket on his suit was sewn shut?

How could I know that jerk would suddenly change into cycling gear?

Why don't you ask the restaurant for help?

Ask the owner to give it back to him for you.

I already tried calling.

But apparently, Mr. Ko already called the restaurant.

He wants to buy a meal for his savior...

and is coming back soon.

He doesn't seem like the type to be so proper about things.

I don't know. If he shows up, I can't avoid him.

My cover will be blown.

So why are you trying so desperately to give it back?

If it were me, I'd invest in crypto.

Just imagine if you doubled it.

I like that go-getter attitude of yours.

- Now you spill. - What? Spill what?

I mean it, why are you trying so desperately?

Is there a reason you won't tell us why you must return that money?

No, of course there's no special reason.

I just don't want to take a single penny from Mr. Ko.

My sacred crypto portfolio...

can't be tainted by someone like Ko Dae Young.

Who cares if you don't want to? You need to have a way to do it.

There has to be a way.

I'll wait for a chance and stuff it in his bag.

Right. I really hope you succeed.

But hey,

why do those people keep whispering?

Do you think Da Hae and Dr. Ham are for real?

Come on. As if Dr. Ham would be interested.

But who on earth is Hoppang Bite?

Whoever it is seems to know everyone's business.

It's creeping me out.

Come on, it's likely another employee.

What's there to be scared of?

You have nothing to hide, right? Tell us.

You've never even swiped a coffee mix...

from the break room, have you?

What on earth are you talking about, coffee mix?

Da Hee doesn't want for anything in this world.

That's not exactly true.

Have you guys heard? There's a new office couple in HR.

I'll take this.

- It helps cleanse your system. - Here, have some of mine.

- I don't like it. - Let's go.

(Haha leaves first.)

Can you do a lower price?

Isn't it a bit rude to ask that without even a hello?

My apologies.

Hello. Can you do a lower price?

No. As you can tell, it's discontinued,

so it commands a premium price on the resale market.

I see.

So, is the price negotiable?

What is your deal?

If you're not going to buy it, I'm moving on to the next person.

Gosh, we can't have that.

Can you tell me about its condition? Are there any scratches?

No.

I'm fine with scratches. So you can't give me a discount?

This cheapskate is a real psycho.

I'm home.

Hey. Where were you?

What's that?

I got a gig for early tomorrow.

I'm promoting a new store's opening.

- Ta-da! - The things you do.

You've got to earn what you can while you're young.

How else can we pay for water and heat in this house, right?

Did you put a password on the Wi-Fi?

That'll be 50 cents for the Internet.

Gosh, you're so cheap!

I'll put it on your tab.

That stings.

Gosh, blood...

Is there a first-aid kit around here?

"Refund complete?"

(Marron Confectionery)

A formal complaint?

Against me? Wait, who filed it?

The complaint was filed anonymously.

We can't ignore a sensitive matter, so we asked to meet with you.

We'd appreciate your cooperation.

Is this about that post on the company message board?

Excuse me?

That thing...

It's not even true, but...

Even if it were, what's wrong with two consenting adults dating?

Their different positions don't matter.

It's a different story if the relationship is one-sided.

It's not that one-sided.

Have you had any unneeded physical contact with Mr. Ko?

Mr. Ko?

Yes, here was a time I made contact, but it was necessary.

Was the contact intentional?

- I can't say it was unintentional. - And was your intent inappropriate?

What are you implying?

Ms. Jung Da Hae.

Let me ask you directly.

Do you have feelings for Mr. Ko?

Do you have feelings for Mr. Ko?

Ms. Jung Da Hae?

I'm sorry.

I was just considering jumping out the window.

Mr. Ko, are you okay?

Gosh, you must have been so upset to file a formal complaint.

It's a curse to be this handsome.

That's why I got married early.

I swear.

I didn't think that as a married man,

I'd still set women's hearts ablaze.

You guys keep a close eye on Ms. Round.

Her crypto rambling was pathetic. Got it?

Yes, sir. Understood. We'll keep our eyes peeled.

We'll keep a close eye on Da Hae. Gosh, you scared me!

Da Hae.

Da Hae.

Mr. Ko,

we need to talk.

What's this? Why are you clapping?

It's all thanks to you.

Our country's consistent number one ranking...

among OECD nations in this category...

is all thanks to you, Mr. Ko.

And what category is that?

- The suicide rate. - What?

I just came from the grievance committee.

I almost jumped out the window because I was so furious.

So what's your point?

My point?

If anyone should be called in for questioning,

it should be you, not me.

I wasn't trying to touch you.

I was trying to give you back your tip.

Then the person who saved me...

Yes. I was the one who saved you that day.

And I was also the one...

who saw you selling off secret company documents.

Selling them off? What? What did you see?

- Gosh. - Mr. Ko! Wait. Hold on.

What?

One moment, please.

- You're so clumsy. What is this? - Is something on me?

Gosh, walking around with that stain on you.

Hey, what do you think you're doing? I told you not to do this.

Even the product development plan!

Come on, it's just a little something.

Okay? It's really not much.

Just take it. Think of it as my appreciation.

What you saw was a misunderstanding. I was just advising a junior.

You think I got a huge payout?

I'm not greedy like you, Ms. Round. I'm not greedy like that.

What's wrong with me being a little ambitious?

You get to be as greedy as you want,

so why is it wrong when I invest in crypto?

Even if I invest in crypto or anything else,

aren't my hands still cleaner than yours?

There you go again, Ms. Round!

You know what?

I used to look up to you.

Your work style drove me nuts,

but there were things I respected.

And even though I acted like I didn't care,

I still worked harder...

because I wanted you to praise me, just once.

That was Ms. Kang...

You're a hard worker.

I like what I see. Keep it up.

- Good night. - Yes.

But you always said it wasn't enough,

so I poured everything I had into the work.

My time.

My passion. My effort.

All of my diligence.

Can't you do better than this?

If you can't do it right, try harder!

It's not that hard. Just do it! There's no magic formula!

You just have to tackle it head-on.

You may think it's all worthless,

but they were my everything.

Not to my own mother,

not to a friend or a boyfriend, but to my boss at work.

I gave more of myself to you than to anyone.

So please, just understand one thing.

You...

were someone's first role model when they started their career.

And a role model is supposed to give,

not take away.

So please.

Whatever tiny shred of passion I have left,

please don't take that away from me, too.

I'm begging you.

Please don't take it from me.

Please.

Please. Okay?

Wait...

("Shooting Star")

(I missed you so much today!)

(Don't you miss me, Dr. Ham?)

(Come back soon. I have much to tell you.)

This one is worth 100 points.

Dr. Ham,

is Saudi Arabia on Mars or Venus or something?

He won't call or text.

That's cold.

Are you badmouthing me when I'm not around?

I missed you.

I missed you, too.

I was worried about you.

I thought maybe because of that online post,

you might be feeling hurt.

And you didn't seem to feel well before I left on my trip.

Not really.

And I wasn't feeling well because of something else.

What was it?

- I got a side job. - You did? Why?

Why else would I get a side job? To make money, obviously.

But you get a salary. Is it not enough?

It's more than enough for someone...

who gets a bonus of 500,000 dollars, right?

I wasn't being sarcastic. I was joking.

Seriously, I was just kidding.

Isn't work tough?

Of course it is.

Getting paid just seven dollars an hour...

to work two, even three jobs, is by no means easy.

But still, I have a goal I'm working toward.

What's wrong?

I feel a little left out.

With your writing or your job, while you're having a hard time,

I can't even be there for you.

And on top of that,

you're the type to just power through...

everything on your own.

So...

that leaves nothing for me to do, does it?

Hold on.

Here.

April 23. Tae Su gave everyone donuts but me.

Kim Ji Song said I gained weight. 67 points.

April 24. Mr. Ko nagged me.

Seventy-seven points. April 25, today.

Mr. Ko was hard on me again. 99 points.

On second thought, this one's 100. A perfect 100.

What is all this?

I wrote down everything that upset me...

so I could tell you the worst one when I saw you.

And since today's score is 100 points,

this is the most upsetting moment yet.

Right now,

I'm not being very strong, am I?

So right now, I'm...

letting you see my vulnerable side, you know?

So...

Then do something if you need to.

I should keep it closed.

- Do what? - My mouth.

Hi there, please take one of these. Thank you.

Hello, our store is now open. Thank you.

What? Gosh, it dropped again.

Hello! Please take one. Thank you!

Hello! Our store is now open!

You could've...

For crying out loud...

Assistant Manager Oh?

Gosh.

Gosh, why is he picking them up?

Here you go.

Here you go.

Here.

Gosh, some people.

They really shouldn't throw away your flyers like this.

The earth is in so much pain.

Just like my big, strawberry nose.

- Gosh, seriously. - It hurts, I'm telling you.

- I think his nose got even bigger. - What?

I know someone who sounds a lot like you.

Our Ji Song.

That's got nothing to do with me.

If you've been drinking, you'd best just go on home.

Then again, you probably hate me too.

I get it.

Ji Song hates me too.

Because I'm ugly.

I'm sorry.

For being so ugly.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I'm so ugly.

Would you stop with the "I'm ugly" routine!

Ji Song?

I'm so sorry, I made a complete fool of myself.

No...

I'm the one who should be sorry.

What do you have to be sorry for?

I hurt your feelings.

I just meant...

that I have a very specific type, that's all.

Right, and that type is...

a handsome guy. Right?

I respect that.

I'm fine.

Okay.

But, by any chance...

I'm not trying to put you on the spot or anything.

If, hypothetically,

if I got handsome,

- would you give me a chance? - Nope.

So that's a no?

Exactly.

That's the problem.

But, Assistant Manager Oh...

do you like me that much?

Yes.

Yes. I mean,

I...

I have this crypto... I mean, this personal thing going on,

and I'm not sure if what I'm doing is right or wrong.

I'm just not that sure about it.

But when I look at you, Assistant Manager Oh,

you seem to like me with such unwavering conviction.

- I see. - And I find that fascinating.

Are you always that self-assured?

I have faith in you, Ji Song.

What?

That someone as wonderful as you...

is impossible not to love.

So my feelings for you can't be wrong.

It's not me I have faith in. It's you.

When you can't believe in yourself, believe in the one you love.

Right. I believe in the one I love...

You love me?

Yes.

It's not necessarily that kind of love.

Love for family,

or friends, or coworkers.

Yes. There are many kinds of love.

Right? That's what you meant, right?

Exactly.

That's the problem.

But still, Assistant Manager Oh,

I think you're a really good person.

Me?

Why?

I don't know, it's just...

It's just that with you...

I just get a feeling that you'd never make me cry.

That's right.

If anything,

you'd be the one making me cry.

- Are you crying? - No, I'm not.

Yes, you are! You're crying again.

I'm just so moved that you called me a good person.

I take back the "good person" comment.

Idiot. Fool. Kingsberry strawberry, Big Nose.

Shoot.

I really hope Eun Sang isn't asleep.

Ji Song, I'll take you home.

No, thanks. You just get home safe. Okay?

See you tomorrow!

Get home safe.

Da Hae? Can you go to Eun Sang's for me?

You came like that? Didn't you pass any DUI checkpoints?

You're still up.

How can I sleep when you're not back?

Thank goodness.

I thought you'd be asleep.

Why? Was I not supposed to be?

No, that's not it.

It's not that you weren't supposed to be.

It's nothing serious.

All right.

Eun Sang.

What's going on? What is it? What happened?

- What? - It's nothing.

What's all this about?

What? What are you talking about?

The police in this country must be sleeping on the job.

Letting a walking bottle of soju and a sly fox run free.

What? A sly fox? What is that supposed to mean?

- On your lips... - What?

This...

is a private matter.

Private matters should stay private.

Why make it a public spectacle? Gosh.

What's with you two? Why did you all suddenly barge in?

Ji Song said that you keep crying in your sleep,

so we got worried.

We didn't want you to be crying all alone.

- What? - I even changed...

my part-time shift so I could be here when you woke up.

But I ran a little late today.

I was crying?

Don't go.

Ji Sang. Don't go.

Don't go.

Ji Sang.

Don't go.

Don't be so dramatic.

I cry at the drop of a hat.

It's just menopause making me cry. What's all the fuss about?

Menopause or not, how can we not be worried?

That's right.

When you care for someone, you worry.

Did our Eun Sang cry?

Did you cry?

Whatever.

Here. Use this to average down.

What?

If you'd kept that money, you would've wasted it by now.

I was holding it for you to use for averaging down.

Do you think I'm crazy enough to take rent from you?

Eun Sang...

Seriously, I'm so touched.

Me too.

Get off me! You stink.

Get ready.

Let's do this.

(Confirm Buy?)

(Your buy order has been successfully placed.)

Until now,

we've all been through a lot.

You guys were right. Life is unforgiving.

Still, it felt a little easier for me this time around.

Because we were together.

What?

I agree, though.

Same here.

After doing it alone, it's so much better doing it together.

It's such a relief.

Let's not get...

- Exhausted! - Exhausted!

Let's not.

I wish I could average down in life sometimes, too.

Joyful conversations with the ones I love,

deep empathy, and the little laughs.

If I could take these warm memories...

whenever life got tough and tiring...

and use them to water down the pain,

how great would that be?

And if the wounds in our lives...

and scars could fade even a little, how great would that be?

Did the item sell?

(Selling: Discontinued Calia Dollhouse, 100 dollars)

It hasn't sold yet.

Is the price negotiable?

You really have no sense of pride, do you?

With money, saving face is pointless.

It doesn't do you any good.

Especially as head of a household in the Republic of Korea.

Do you have kids?

You have them too, don't you?

What makes you think I have kids?

You don't? You were so nitpicky, I got mom vibes.

I was sure you had at least two.

He nailed it.

So, are you going to sell it or not?

(So, are you going to sell it or not?)

I have two kids to feed, so I guess I have to, don't I?

Let's meet in person to make the sale.

How does this weekend work for you?

I'll bring my kids with me.

What are you doing here?

It's you?

You're the one buying this?

You? You're the one selling this?

I should've known.

A cheapskate who'd do anything to save a buck...

could only be you on this entire planet.

Look who's talking. It's a discontinued item.

Who's the one who was trying to sell it for a premium...

Wait a minute.

You... Don't tell me...

Are you selling Ji Sang's stuff?

- This is Ji Sang's, isn't it? - That's insane...

Hey! Is that really what you think of me?

- Do you think you're even human? - Hey, hold on!

You're just a money-grubbing monster!

It's Refund Complete.

"Refund complete?"

(Refund complete)

What?

(To the Moon)

(Special thanks to Yoon Kyung Ho for his appearance)

- Her ex-husband! - Is he still texting you?

What a nutcase.

I'll never understand married couples.

We're not married!

My boyfriend's coming to Korea in a few days.

What's this? Don't tell me it's to meet the parents!

But to be thinking about marriage already...

That's the plan.

Her birthday?

- It's my mom's 60th birthday soon. - When's your dad's birthday?

I'll never see that man again.

The police station?

My daughter!

Don't tell me you're into crypto too?

I see you didn't tell your mother.

Even if that man comes back, I think I'd forgive him completely.

Honey. Jung Im.

It's me.

Darn it.
