How in the world…

SPIDER STAFFING AGENCY

Great work.

Here. Your pay.

Labor is such a fascinating thing.

While doing it, you have all these mixed feelings

and feel like you're going to die.

But the moment you get paid, you forget all about it.

What do you think?

Sweet, isn't it?

So

about what happened last night…

We don't know what exactly happens at the workplace.

We just introduce and connect people.

How does that connection work exactly?

That's a trade secret.

You're really not going to tell me? I almost died last night.

This is something else entirely. What I saw last night…

What was all of that?

Was I imagining things?

If you must know,

you could say the world we live in

looks like this.

We live on this side.

Then the other side?

The world we live in is yang.

The other is yin.

Yin and yang cannot see each other…

but between them,

there must exist a boundary.

When that boundary becomes unstable,

the energy from the other world invades,

and strange things start to happen.

When the energy from the other world invades,

we place a strong yang energy to suppress that yin energy.

That's labor.

Because there's no stronger yang energy than the struggle to make a living.

Do you understand now?

So what kind of work would you like to do?

Wait, I can choose?

This is a staffing agency.

We connect you to jobs that fit your needs.

Then,

is there a job that I can do during the day?

Something during the day…

One that doesn't require an all-nighter

and that I can do in an open space with a clear head.

An open space…

KD PHARMACEUTICAL, EVENT MANAGER 100 TIMES THE DAILY WAGE, 4 P.M. - 10 P.M.

One hundred times!

Oh, I forgot to tell you.

If you complete a part-time job, your daily wage is at least doubled.

But what do I need to do for this manager job?

You'd be driving.

All I have to do is drive?

That's right.

The person you'll be with is an event specialist.

Just drive them to the event venue without any issues.

Just get through the day.

You need to make money.

ACCEPT

Where were you just now?

Fortune-telling and tarot?

Excuse me?

That was too unexpected, wasn't it?

I'm investigating the staffing agency in this building.

Do you have a moment?

Now that I got a closer look, your face

looks really dull and tired.

Did you have a brutal night shift?

What… What in the world are you doing?

Let's have a cup of tea.

Give me ten, no, just five minutes of your time.

Just in case you forgot.

I have some questions about Spider Staffing Agency.

If you disclose details about these jobs…

My name is Eum Yeon-joo.

…you incur a penalty fee. You know that, right?

Here's--

No, I'm sorry.

DEAD-END JOB

EPISODE 2 A JOURNEY WITH A PIERROT

Mom, I'm home!

What do we have here?

It's a two-plus grade.

Beef?

Yeah.

A million won.

Look at you.

-Did you get a job? -Just part-time.

Part-time. I see.

Sorry. I should get a real job soon, but it's not easy.

No need to rush.

While you're at it, take your time and find something you're good at.

That's the fastest way.

Look at your father.

He dabbled in everything, but maybe he couldn't handle it.

He suddenly disappeared.

Alrighty.

Hey, son.

What do you think, watching your dad practice?

Well…

He's cool.

A FATHER'S MIRACLE

Do you want to be like your dad when you grow up?

Yes! I want to be like my dad.

Oh, come on.

You should live differently.

Differently?

Live the exact opposite of me, kid.

Make lots and lots of money,

and take good care of your family.

My God!

You're so funny, sir.

It's your sister.

-What are you doing? -But I mean it.

Damn it! I told you not to break into my room!

You…

Why are you here?

What happened here? Did someone hit you?

-Why do you care? -Who?

Why the hell are you here?

Damn it.

Are you watching that again?

Do you miss your daddy?

Are you crazy? I just needed to check something.

Who cares about a dad who abandoned his family?

Throw this trash out.

Don't put it back!

Seriously.

Why'd you come? To piss me off?

Give me some money.

See? You did come to piss me off.

I have a job interview tomorrow.

I can't go looking like this.

I should at least wear something nice.

Just go like that.

You know, going to those things in new clothes

brings bad luck.

You should have the money Mom lent you to get a jeonse lease.

Why would I give that to you? Mom gave it to me to get a place.

God, she saved up that money working herself to the bone,

anxiously waiting and trusting her only son--

Are you implying that I blew that money?

Just place a few bills here nicely before I tell Mom.

Tell her what?

That you invested in stocks, you moron.

Is it obvious?

Like it isn't. Seriously.

How much did you lose?

What? Are you too embarrassed to say?

Half of it?

70%?

All of it?

Seriously?

I'm in the middle of making it back.

Are you out of your mind?

Sleep here tonight and go to your interview.

I'll give you money when I get back.

-Where are you going? -I got a thing.

-Did you get a part-time gig? -I said I got a thing.

You better not do anything weird or get into fights!

-It's not like that! -Damn it.

Like hell it isn't.

Your face tells me something's up.

"KD Pharmaceutical"?

Is this the right place?

KD PHARMACEUTICAL, EVENT MANAGER 100 TIMES THE DAILY WAGE, 4 P.M. - 10 P.M.

Damn it. First a rat and now a pig?

Hello.

You came right on the dot?

This is ridiculous.

-Who do you think you are? -Sorry?

I said, who do you think you are?

My name is Byeon Hyeok-jun.

I'm 30 years old and--

Who the hell asked you to introduce yourself?

Your client is stuck here waiting for you,

and you part-timers are late?

I'm sorry. I got the call a bit late, so--

Didn't your damn company tell you that Mr. Jo has a nasty temper?

No, it didn't.

Hurry up.

It seems you've never had a proper job, so let me teach you.

I bet you got low grades. Which college?

-I just went to a regional one-- -This is a KOSPI-listed company.

I got better grades and went to a university in Seoul.

And today, we're attending a university hospital department offsite.

Those bastards were the top students in Korea.

Are you getting the drift?

So they're impressive…

people,

right? Like me.

Like you? Like hell they are.

The pecking order in Korea is decided by who has brains, got it?

They're at the top, I'm in the middle, and you're at the bottom!

Get it? The bottom!

The bottom.

Go get me a coffee from the snack bar, you punk.

No wonder he's still working part-time jobs.

This is unbelievable.

I'm starving. Just wait until they get here.

Why you…

You scared me!

What the…?

"Mime artist, Jolly Pierrot."

Jolly? You fucking bastard!

Hey, Mime.

Can't you speak Korean?

If you're late, you should damn well apologize first--

Look at this.

What the hell is this bastard?

What is going on? Your boss must be out of their mind.

Who's the one with seniority here?

Goddamn, you fucking… We don't have time, so we're leaving,

but if things go fucking south, I'm going to rip you all to shreds!

Got it?

Hurry up and come out.

Goddammit! I'm not gonna let you guys put me out of a job.

There's only one thing you need to do, Mr. Hyeok-jun.

Stay right next to the event specialist until the end of your shift.

Leave the rest to the event specialist, and they'll take care of everything.

PANG PANG EVENTS

Fucking shit.

I've got not one, but two morons on my hands.

When we get there, you guys better…

SHINIL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL PROF. YOON

Sir! Yes, sir!

Yes, sir. I'm on my way.

My apologies.

I'll be there in a flash, sir!

I promise the host we hired especially for today

will get the crowd going.

You know you can count me in! Yes, let's party all night, sir!

Professor Yoon, I love you!

Yes.

These fucking bastards!

Fuck! What's the damn problem? I'm on my way, aren't I?

Fuck! Those fucking bastards.

Did you just laugh?

You think me being the damn doctor's lackey is funny?

I mean, seriously. You guys are unacceptable.

I'm calling that damn boss of yours and teaching you guys a lesson.

Think this is funny?

What the hell? Where'd it go?

Are you nuts? Give it back.

Give it back, damn it.

Give it back. Hey!

I'm going to call your damn boss.

This guy's a fucking lunatic.

Hey, part-timer, stop the car. Stop it, you punk!

Give it back, damn it.

Give it!

Give it back now, you bastard.

Damn!

Are you nuts?

What's wrong with this thing?

What's wrong with it? What's going on?

Holy!

Why's it doing this all of a sudden?

What the hell are you doing?

No, the car's moving on its own right now!

Just stop the car!

You crazy bastards!

Just stop the damn car!

That's what I just saw!

The rabbit!

Rest stop.

REST STOP

Damn you. Get out.

My phone.

Get out, you bastard!

Hey, you…

So you do know who's in charge.

Damn! I should just…

What do you think you're doing, pulling that crap with those cheap tricks?

My phone.

Where's my phone?

Here's your phone.

I can't believe this.

How did it end up there?

Hey, part-timer.

Go throw that away and get me some water from the store.

Yes, sir.

You're all dead meat today.

They sent me these morons?

Where's that number for Pang Pang?

What are you waiting for? Go get me water.

I think he should come with me--

Just go get me water!

Who needs two people to buy water?

Donning a red hat pulled down low

I'm a pierrot who always carries a smile

Behind my blue smile

Lie tears nobody knows

You're hungry?

Do you want some gimbap?

GIMBAP

We'll take these two.

That'll be 5,000 won.

-Thank you. -Have a nice day.

Wait, no. That's the wrapper.

HEAD OF PANG PANG EVENT

Guess the bastard now knows he made a big mistake.

Do you realize I'm going through something really absurd right now?

Sorry? Where are you right now?

My guys have been waiting in your company lot for an hour,

but you were unreachable.

What are you saying?

I'm on my way to the venue with the morons from your company.

You left for the venue?

You must be mistaken.

My employees are still in the parking lot.

Then who are those bastards?

Hey!

Who the hell are you guys?

Pang Pang's boss just called. His guys are still in the parking lot!

What?

We were sent from a staffing agency--

Who are you, bastards?

Are you assholes baiting people for some streaming content or something?

You son of a bitch!

You're going to get sued big time.

Give me the car keys now.

Give me the damn keys!

Crazy bastard.

This bastard, seriously.

Don't do it.

You lunatic.

Where'd they go?

So you want to go all the way, huh?

What? Why's it getting longer?

What the hell?

No, don't…

Wait, is that it?

What are you doing?

Don't do that.

Got them! Wait a second.

Shit! Hey, get me out of here!

You son of a--

Your body…

I can't breathe!

What's wrong with this?

Stay right next to the event specialist until the end of your shift.

EMERGENCY

Fuck.

Stay away!

What's wrong with this?

Don't come near me.

Don't come near me!

What's wrong with my arm?

What's wrong with this?

I'm just a part-timer.

I'm at the bottom. Like top, middle, bottom. The bottom.

If you let me live, I'll do anything.

I'll do anything you tell me to do.

Shit, I can't fucking die!

I have to work and pay my mom back. Fuck.

Please spare me just this once.

Just this once.

You want me to choose?

Starting route guidance.

Hello?

Jo Jun-seop, you son of a bitch! How many damn times do I have to call you?

Where are you right now?

Where the hell are you?

I'm really sorry,

but we got into an accident on the way.

The person in charge is--

Goddammit. Are you fucking making excuses?

Everyone's waiting right now.

So you got into an accident. But did you die or something?

You're supposed to show up, even if you have to crawl here or die!

Is our money a joke to you?

Hey!

Do your goddamn job!

If things get canceled today because of you, I'll really kill you.

Fucking hell!

They should stop inferior trash like you from reproducing by law.

Damn it!

SHINIL HOSPITAL PROF. YOON

SHINIL UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL OFFSITE SPONSORED BY KD PHARMACEUTICAL

You damn shit.

Get on my eye level.

I'm sorry.

Where's that bastard Jo Jun-seop?

Mr. Jo suddenly felt unwell, so he went home--

You piece of shit.

Tell that son of a bitch that he's done for in this industry.

Yes. I'll tell him.

Man, these inferior sons of bitches.

That fucking idiot.

No.

This is all fake.

I'd rather be a pierrot

Who knows sadness

Who knows sadness
