Unemployment Benefit Romance

Don't have secrets with another girl next time.

Just because we don't go back, nothing will happen between the two?

No, I won't do it.

No, you have to. Your face is blue right now.

He was released from prison recently. He was even on the news.

Where are you now? Are you with that big guy who was sitting next to you here?

I spilled coffee, so he was holding my bag for me!

You were here, too?

You are Seung Hee's boyfriend?

Anyway, thanks. Since you helped Seung Hee, I should buy you a drink.

- My rib cage hurts a little somehow. - You have a fracture.

Are you hurt?

Stop picking on me and just eat.

[Unemployment Check Scandal Episode 3]

Well... it's...

Jong Dae got hurt because of me, so I was worried...

so I just meant to check...

He seems angry...

but he doesn't show his anger, so it's driving me crazy.

But... is Jong Dae really okay?

You know very well that the security screen was

installed to save cost on the security guards, right?

Regarding the current situation in which

development of technology stole human jobs

I grieve deeply, too.

As long as the tenants chose the screen doors over the security guards

half of our colleagues needs to quit.

So I agonized constantly for a month about

the fairest way to resolve this issue.

So I decided on the fairest way in the history of mankind

that 'rock, paper, scissors' would determine the ones to resign.

- You're here, too. - Yeah.

Seon Joo, you got a package so I put it on the table here.

It's from the production team.

- What is it? - This?

A jump rope without the rope. It's for a product placement.

I've really wanted this.

You can exercise indoors anytime with this.

It looks different.

Hey, this is pretty cool.

Can I try it too?

Really? Take it.

Really?

Thank you, Writer Moon.

Seung Hee, this too.

I'm going to rest, so you should, too.

Thank you, Writer Moon.

- You like it? - Pardon?

- Were you always that polite? - What?

It's nothing.

Seriously, now I work for a successful writer...

I get a lot of stuff and I learn a lot. It's really great.

I'm sorry. When you worked for me, you didn't get anything.

It's okay. You introduced me to Writer Moon instead.

[Blocked Number]

Hello?

Hello?

Kim Jong Dae? You're Kim Jong Dae, right?

Kim Jong...

Hello, Writer Yim!

President Kim!

When he's done, of course he would...

Wait!

Seriously... President Kim! What are you doing?

Really!

President Kim!

- President Kim! - President Kim!

I'm sorry, Writer Yim.

You must've been really upset back then.

Of course I was.

I went to pick you up, so how can you run away?

You should've come with me and resolved it.

So I came to resolve it now.

I don't trust your words.

You were completely crazy about gambling...

and you were crazy to say 'gambling is the only way to make a comeback.'

That's when I lost all my respect for you.

It's because I loaded my heart completely

to the main character back then.

I was completely into the character of the casino panhandler.

'Sir, I'm sorry but can I borrow just 1,000

won although I've never met you before?'

Like I told you before, it's a 'method planning.'

For someone into gambling, aren't you laundering your past too much?

No! I made a dramatic comeback this time.

A comeback?

I met an incredibly rich guy at the casino.

And he wants to invest in my dramas.

That's enough. I even got my car scammed.

So if I get fooled again, I won't call myself my Mom's daughter.

I'm really sorry about the car.

I was going to buy it back, but I couldn't find it.

So I prepared something for you.

What?

I couldn't find your car, so I got a big car for you, Writer Yim.

Does it even move?

What are you saying? I drove it myself from Gangwon Province.

Here. Don't feel burdened, just take it.

What a hunk of junk.

Consider this as your advance pay...

let's write something new. It's a daily drama.

The title is, 'Casino's Panhandler.'

Who would watch a casino panhandler on a daily drama?

If that's the story, it should be a mini-series.

Wow, I see. You already had everything planned, Writer Yim.

Fine, write a mini series, okay?

Hey, why are you helping me to get a cleaning all of a sudden?

It's not free! I'm paying for it.

Why?

The doctor here is really good, so he has a lot of patients.

So I'm going to ask him to use the stuff from my pharmaceutical company.

I see, so you're going to do your sales pitch

to the doctor while I'm getting cleaning?

There is no easy job out there.

I got a cleaning twice at another clinic.

Really?

- Come here. Say 'Yi.' - Yi.

It must've hurt. This is what you ended up with after?

Hey, this is a good place.

This is a famous place in Gangnam, so you have nothing to lose.

Really? I thought the nurses were pretty.

Yes, I think that will be better.

Seon Joo!

You're Seung Hee's friend, right? I'm Jong Dae's friend, Gwang Pal!

Gwang Pal's friend Hyo Sang!

It's been a long time.

- Writer Moon, do you know them? - What?

Friends of Seung Hee's ex-boyfriend.

She's my assistant writer.

Hello, my name is Jin Joo.

Hello.

I'm Hyo Sang.

By the way, what brought you here?

We came for an interview.

Interview? We're here for cleaning.

You're back?

I was packing some food to bring them to you.

They look delicious.

How can you be here anyway?

You're supposed to be out tomorrow morning.

Well... I quit.

What's with jokes at your old age?

I'd be shocked.

Well, the tenants said they couldn't trust the

guards because of the theft incident before...

so you know that thing? When you put up a hand, it opens... the screen door.

They are switching to that.

So half of us had to quit...

Are you serious?

Still, how could you leave just because you were told to leave?

You should have held out said you couldn't leave!

I was going to, but I couldn't hold out because

it was determined in a really fair way.

How on earth did they decide?

Rock, paper, scissors.

What?

How could I run into Seon Joo at a place like that?

- Could this be fate? - Crazy punk.

Did you see? Seon Joo's body was a killer.

Really? I thought the assistant writer was cute.

Man, you're...

You're here!

You didn't need to buy me a drink!

Excuse me, please give me a glass here!

What a stingy punk.

Thanks to Wan Ha, you're going to supply the medicine to that hospital.

You scored big time, and you buy drinks here?

It's no big deal.

What about Jong Dae?

It's a bit weird.

Oh, Hey!

Why on earth is it Seung Hee?

You must have girls around you as a successful guy.

Do you know how nasty she was when she dumped Jong Dae?

She completely ignored him when he begged her

and went on a trip with her producer, using work as an excuse.

- She's a scary girl. - That's enough.

They'll figure things out on their own. Who are you to butt in?

- Anyway, be careful. - Hey!

Stop talking nonsense and... do you want more pork belly?

This punk, you interrupted me... and talk about pork belly?

I'm saying it all for Jong... this guy.

- Gwang Pal. - Yes.

Let's just drink.

Sure.

You must be tired, so just organize those and go home.

Yes.

You were home?

What? Yeah...

What are you doing?

Just... designing characters.

Writer Yim, I heard the guy you met at the

employment center was your ex-boyfriend.

Who said that?

Why did she say useless stuff to a kid?

Then you know Mr. Park Gwang Pal among his friends, too, right?

Park Gwang Pal, Gwang Pal?

How do you know him?

Writer Moon and I went to a dental clinic today and met him there.

Do you know his number, by any chance?

How would I know that?

Then you must know his address.

I heard you had things going on with your ex-boyfriend, too.

Then you must've been to Gwang Pal's house, too.

Are you threatening me right now?

You can get Gwang Pal's number through your ex-boyfriend, right?

What on earth are you doing this for?

There is a student character in Writer Moon's script.

I'm thinking of asking him for my research.

Just find someone else.

Please just get me Gwang Pal's number!

Okay, fine.

Really?

Thank you, Writer Yim!

Hey, hey... why are you overreacting?

By the way, Writer Yim... you've known Gwang Pal

since you were dating your ex, right?

Yes, and?

Why did you date your ex, not that cool guy?

You're odd in many ways.

Gwang Pal is better than Jong Dae?

To me, you're the strange one.

My... you must have feelings for your ex-boyfriend.

What feelings?

I see that you're getting upset, so you must really have feelings for him.

Aren't you leaving? Seon Joo told you to leave.

Yes.

Anyway, please find out his number.

- Fine, go now. - Yes.

What feelings...

What now?

My previous assistant writer asked for Gwang Pal's

number to get an interview with him.

You came all the way here to ask that?

You could've called to the office. How can you have no flexibility?

Here.

What's this?

Ox bones. It's good for your bones.

I thought about giving you money for the

hospital bill, but I don't think it's much.

So I thought it would be better to give you this.

I don't think I should be making you ox-bone soup.

Take care of it the way you want to.

Did you buy this with the unemployment check you received?

The kind of thinking you do...

You're like a grandma. What's with the ox bones to help my bones heal faster?

I was being considerate of you when I brought this...

If you don't want to have it, give it back to me.

It's fine.

How can you give it to someone and take it back?

If you don't want it, give it to me.

Give it!

Sorry. Does it hurt a lot?

How can you pick the most painful spot and hit me there?

Let me see. Are you okay?

Do you want Gwang Pal's number?

Okay.

Give me your cellphone number. I'll text it to you now.

I remember that I tried to find her number a few years ago.

[Kim Jong Dae]

[Save]

Seung Hee, I'm sorry.

The only dates we have are taking you home from my study town once in a while.

When it's really over later, let's go on fun dates then.

Okay.

We always worried about passing the exam and getting a job when we dated.

Was it still better to have romance in the gloomy period?

Or did the romance become gloomy as well?

Hello?

Seung Hee, I'm nearby. Can I see you for a bit?

Of course. Where are you?

Should we sit down for a bit?

Why is your hand so cold?

It's cold.

What is this?

It's a couple ring.

Why? You don't like it?

No, I like it. It's the first time I've received something like this.

Really?

I asked Jong Dae to buy me one when he passed the exam

but I didn't get one for 10 years.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. Give it to me, I'll put it on for you.

By the way... can I ask why you broke up with Jong Dae?

Well...

We were already on bad terms...

but he never came to visit me even once after I had an accident.

When I was going through the toughest time,

he dumped me in the most cruel way.

Pride is the most important thing for Jong Dae.

You got into an accident, Seung Hee?

Yes, I had an escalator accident.

I see.

Do you know how nasty Seung Hee was when she dumped Jong Dae?

She ignored him even when he begged her...

then she just went on a trip with her producer, using work as an excuse.

Why?

It's nothing.

Writer Moon, I'm going to do an interview.

Where?

Well... interview with that student.

Really? Then let's go together.

No, I can do it by myself.

It's okay. Work is not going well anyway, so

I'll get some air. Let's go together, okay?

This is no good.

I have really small hands.

So when I pour drinks for other people

so they say it's uncomfortable because they

feel like a kid is pouring them a drink.

Really? Do you really have small hands?

Look, isn't it really small?

Well, I didn't help you much. It's my treat tonight!

I called Hyo Sang, too.

No, you were very helpful in our interview.

By the way, how long are you going to study for the exam?

It requires luck too, so it's not enough to just study.

If I don't pass this year, I'm thinking of

inheriting my Father's business and run that.

What kind of business does your father have?

His father has a pretty big landscaping business.

What do you mean by 'big'?

- That's... - That's...

It has a pretty big profit even from one apartment complex.

A pine tree this big costs over 10 million won.

Wow, that's a really big business.

Writer Moon, how about a landscape business

as a job for the heroine's father?

Why don't we interview Gwang Pal about that?

Should we?

Jin Joo, aren't you curious about pharmaceutical companies?

I'm not curious. At all.

By the way, how do you relieve your stress, Seon Joo?

- Jin Joo, how do you relieve your stress...

- I don't get stressed.

Oh, you don't get stressed...

If you write a lot, you must have a lot of stress.

Me? Are you curious?

Hey, isn't she cute?

Did you say, cute?

You can't even tell the difference between cute and sexy?

Hey, are you saying her moves are cute, by any chance?

Yes! Isn't Jin Joo cute regardless of what she does?

Really?

Should I help you a little?

Yes!

Move!

Gwang Pal!

[Unemployment Check Scandal]

Who could it be?

Who is it?

I brought Seon Joo.

Seon Joo?

- It's you, Seung Hee. - Yes...

How did she...

First, where can I put her down?

Come in.

Thanks. By the way, it's been a really long time.

She's not someone who'd drink that much.

No no... no no! I didn't make her drink...

Who was it? Yes, Hyo Sang did it. Hyo Sang, this punk...

Oh, I heard you're seeing Wan Ha.

- Yes. - That's great!

Wan Ha is really great.

Although it would've been better to part nicely with Jong Dae.

What did I do?

I'm not blaming you...

As a friend who watched him, I felt a little bad for Jong Dae.

So... what did I not wrap up?

Well, that's...

To be honest, after you left like that, Jong Dae was really hurt...

so he had a really tough time for a while.

Then I heard you're dating Wan Ha this time...

Who did I dump and go where?

On the day you broke up with Jong Dae

you went on a trip with your producer, leaving Jong Dae behind.

I did?

Isn't that what happened?

After you left like that, Jong Dae waited

for you all night in front of your place.

Seon Joo should know, too.

I heard he met Seon Joo in front of your place.

Are you waiting for Seung Hee?

She called earlier...

and said she can't come home tonight.

Is that true?

I'm sure. Why don't you ask Seon Joo when she wakes up?

I always feel bad for your mother.

We always have a tough time, but nothing is getting better.

But I'm glad your mother lives with a hope

because you're going to study abroad.

I'm really thankful to you.

Don't mention it.

You didn't really delay going abroad because of money, did you?

Do you have a headache?

Yeah... it's okay. I can take a pain killer.

If it's bad, you should go see a doctor.

It's no big deal.

It's because I was concerned about the lay-off.

It's over now anyway, so it'll get better.

Father, here.

What's this?

It's not much, but I put some money in there.

Go somewhere with Mother and take a break.

What hardship did I have...

I didn't do anything right as the head of the household.

What are you talking about, Father...

Father, for me...

I think this is what family means.

Other people only look at the result, not the process.

But regardless of the result,

family recognizes the process.

I know very well how much effort you've made.

So I've always been proud of you, Father.

Father...

I'll do better. Please wait a little longer.

I'm sorry.

It needs to be stirred evenly...

I'm going to the employment center.

Why would you go there?

Because the director laid me off

I might be able to get an unemployment check.

I'll be back soon.

I'll be back.

Don't come back! Don't!

I'm going to the sauna, too!

Don't come back!

Is Mom doing better?

She doesn't really want to talk to me.

So I'm going to the employment center while I have time.

Why would you go there?

What do you mean, why?

Since I got laid off, I could get an unemployment check.

You don't qualify for it because you don't meet the conditions.

How would you know that?

Everyone else told me that I should go and check.

Well...

If I don't get anything, I don't get anything.

Let's talk after I get back.

Hello?

Since he'll go to the one close to home, he'll be coming here.

What's going on?

You knew you had a benign tumor in your brain, right?

Yes.

So why didn't you get a regular checkup?

Well, that's because its size was the same and

everything was fine at my last physical...

And after I left the company, I had no

occasion to get a physical checkup, so...

Is that a problem?

You should've gotten a regular checkup and kept an eye on it.

I believe this is a malignant tumor.

This is located in a dangerous spot, so if it touches a blood vessel...

it's same as a ticking bomb.

Malignant tumor?

If you don't get a surgery soon, it could go off within a month.

You might only have 30 days left.

- Hello. - Hello.

Could you give me the paper you filled out?

Do I have to receive the unemployment check in portions?

If I'm getting it anyway, I'd like to receive

a lump sum... I'm in a bit of a rush.

Unemployment checks are meant to encourage

job search, so we can't give you a lump sum.

I'm not in a situation to wait for too long...

I'm sorry, the procedure is already set.

And we need to check if you're eligible for unemployment payment.

Well... I'm sorry...

but you don't qualify.

What? I don't qualify?

You need to have employment insurance for over 180 days...

but you didn't have it for enough days.

If it doesn't lack too many days, can you just give me the payment?

I paid my dues, so if I don't get paid now, I'd feel really unjustified.

I'm sorry. We can only pay unemployment checks to those who qualify.

Instead, if you go to the window over there,

they'll introduce a new job to you.

Good luck with your job search and I hope you find a good job.

I said I don't have time for that!

You're telling me to find a good job?

Is it that easy like you said?

I understand you're upset.

But you need to qualify to receive unemployment checks...

I just want to give this one thing to my family...

Is that so wrong?

Let go! Is that so wrong?

Let go of me! Let go!

Father!

Jong Dae...

My stomach...

My head...

I'm dying.

Seung Hee, get me some water.

Hey! What's up with this?

What's what? You asked for water, so I gave you water.

Are you crazy?

Yes, I'm crazy.

But how crazy were you to do that?

What did I do?

Why did you lie?

What did I lie about?

I heard Jong Dae came to see me.

When I was in the hospital, Jong Dae came here without knowing anything.

I even asked you...

so why didn't you say anything?

Am I an easy target to you?

Do you have fun by lying to me and making fun of me?

Why on earth did you do that to me?

So? You're dating Wan Ha now.

Did you lose out on anything?

What?

You met Wan Ha who has better credentials than Jong Dae...

and it worked out well for you.

Sure.

I'm the crazy one to consider someone like you as my friend.

Don't tell your mother.

How can I not say anything?

Nothing would change even if she knew.

I'll take care of it by myself.

Father.

She'd be very upset if she found out you can't study abroad because of money.

Let's not say anything to her.

About you or me.

When you have a tough time, I'll always comfort you by your side.

Thank you, Seung Hee.

And...

I love you.

Why did I think Jong Dae would dump me so easily?

Was I more upset because I loved him so much?

- Hello? - Seung Hee.

Yes, Jong Dae.

Jong Dae...

did something happen?

I'm a really bad bastard.

Incompetent...

Why would I keep on living?

Something happened to you, right?

My Father...

My Father is sick.

He might not have much time left...

but I haven't done anything for him as a son.

I'm a real idiot, aren't I?

Why?

I'm not capable...

I just chased what everyone else said was good and ended up like this.

Why did I live like this?

Jong Dae...

I don't think you had a dream.

I know that your dream was to make your family happy.

Dreams don't have to be something grand like other people want.

And you've done a lot for your father.

To make your father happy...

you focused on studying for the exam although it wasn't your dream.

That's why I liked you regardless of whether you passed the exam or not.

Because you're a warm person.

I'm sure your father knows it, too.

He'll get better. Don't worry.

Wha, what? Pregnant?

You're crazy! Crazy!

How can you do this to Lawyer Song?

Just say that you don't remember anything from last night.

What brought you here...

What have you done for Seung Hee?

You've only given her scars.

So you should back out.

I'm sorry about the mistake that night.

Mistake? It wasn't a mistake for me.

I'm sorry, but it was a mistake for me.

You've always done well, so does it make sense you were jealous of me?

What's the use of doing well?

There is no one to recognize my success and be happy with me.

Let's go study abroad together.

Don't give this back to me.

And don't give me back my heart, either.
