Who the hell do you think you are?

You're crazy!

Don't you know who he is?

- You told him to wear a denture? - He's a dental implant patient.

He never kept his appointments.

Whenever he did manage to show up, his mouth reeked of whiskey.

I gave my best treatment for a patient

who has no interest in any treatment.

Does it look like I care what you say?

Who the hell do you think you are?

Not as a doctor, but as a human being,

I cannot possibly work in an environment like this.

I see what you're saying.

Alright. I'll accept your resignation.

I'm sure it wasn't an easy decision for you.

I'm sorry this had to happen.

Well... You don't have to...

I wish you the best.

Ok...

Thank you...

I'll give you a call after I speak with the director.

Thank you. I'll see you again.

Hey, it's me.

What was the name of that girl you told me about?

You know, the weird one?

Yes... Yes... Right! Hye-jin!

She submitted her resume to our hospital!

Hello? Hi, how are you?

I'm good, thank you.

Yes?

I see...

I understand...

That's ok.

Thank you. Bye.

This would've been long gone if the owner didn't insist on selling it to

a medical practitioner.

You're very lucky.

How much is it?

500 grand. Pretty good, huh?

I really like this one. The rent is reasonable

- and I love this view! - This is definitely the best deal!

Let's sign the contract now!

What's that over there?

Don't look!

This kind of place still exists?

Let's see...

Don't do that! Take your time!

Excuse me...

The rent is pretty cheap since it's a rural area...

but nothing suitable for a dental clinic...

Please, grandpa,

this is all I have.

If I want to get married, I gotta make more money with this.

You need love to get married. Not money.

Is there any way? Please?

I'd like to help you but,

you only got so little money.

Send her to Mr. HONG.

Good idea. Go see Mr. HONG.

Mr. HONG? Who's Mr. HONG?

This is perfect,

don't you think?

Check out this killer view! This is perfect!

So yes or no?

Hurry up and decide!

Hold on. Let me look around a bit.

There is nothing to look around.

After new painting job, this place will look totally different.

Alright. But, let's look at another one.

Another one?

This is the best you're gonna get with your money.

Plus, you also have to find a place to live.

Man, this is great!

The perfect harmony between nature and culture!

3 min. Walking distance from the bus station.

And check out this Mediterranean feel!

Ma'am!

- Recycling on Wednesdays! - Isn't today Wednesday?

- No! Tomorrow! - Thanks.

Let's go sign the contract.

Man... Why does he yell like that?

- Looks like you had a busy day. - It was ok.

- Is your TV working good? - Yup. Thanks for fixing it for us.

You got new stuff in.

I just got them in this afternoon.

Grandma!

- How's your daughter? - She's doing good.

I'll see you later.

I'll rent it out at this price because of you, Mr. HONG.

But, I still think it's too cheap.

C'mon, it's better than nothing.

Plus the roof top studio is rented out too.

And it'd be nice to have a dentist in our neighborhood.

- I guess... - It's settled then.

You! Come and sign this!

Take one copy each.

Everyone's satisfied, right?

- I don't wanna hear complaints later. - Ok.

- Mr. HONG, $12.50, right? - Yup.

Here. 10, 2, and 50.

- Good work! - Thank you.

C'mon, pay me.

For what?

The broker's fee.

Since I worked half a day, you owe me $12.50.

$12.50?

This is the lowest broker's fee.

Everything I do, I get paid by the day.

50 bucks a day. Half a day 25 bucks.

So, you each pay me $12.50.

All told $25

You expect me to pay you a broker's fee for that?

Do you even have license?

You're one of those people who do everything by the law.

You should've told me earlier. Hold on...

See?

It says...

0.5% for under 50 grand

And since you signed 2 deals...

Let's just do it your way.

What about the interior?

I'll do it for 50 bucks a day under the table.

Hi.

Did my order come in?

You have money?

25 for working as a doorman, 25 for broker's fee,

and 20 from selling dolls.

70 bucks in total!

C'mon, I fronted 130 bucks to get your order.

Honestly!

- Fine. Just give me 90. - 80.

Really, I fronted 130 bucks

- It cost me 130! 85. - 82.

83 and that's the bottom line.

- Ok. - Man... You're real stingy fellow.

Let's see. This is real good stuff.

I'll pay you the rest tomorrow.

That's alright. Anyway,

my baby girl threw this and broke it. Can you fix it?

You started already? I guess I'm little late.

Man... Look at you...

Didn't you ever hear about the early bird getting the worm?

It's mid morning already!

Ugh, you reek of alcohol. Got drunk last night, huh?

I'm sorry for oversleeping but, it's not the end of the world.

Besides, why are you lecturing me?

And why do you use rough talk!

You don't even know me well.

How old are you?

27!

Come on...

I know I look younger than my age.

Look at all the wrinkles around your eyes.

Let's be honest to each other.

- 28. - C'mon.

Oh my god...

30, right?

Whatever!

Fine. I'm 30! Then how old are you?

A year older than you. So be quiet.

But, still, you have no right to lecture me, mister.

Think whatever you want.

I wasn't lecturing you.

Like you weren't! Whatever!

Look at what you're wearing. How can you work in that outfit?

Stop picking on my clothes! What's wrong with what I'm wearing?

You can't work in that outfit. It's too uncomfortable.

This is the only casual outfit I have.

Wait here. I'll get some work clothes for you.

Work clothes?

Do it right, will you? You're making it all spotty.

It's my first time doing this

and I'm doing my best!

Look. Look what you did.

What? I'm not a professional painter!

Forget it. It's your office, not mine.

Paint it however you want. What's this?

Don't you see this line?

It's all gonna blend in once it's all painted!

What's wrong with what I'm doing?

I think it's painting perfectly fine.

Hye-jin,

I heard you got fired for being a snob.

Who told you that?

I chose to leave my position.

I gave my resignation out of my own will.

I heard you're opening up your own office...

in the middle of nowhere.

It's not middle of nowhere!

It has this Mediterranean feel to it.

It cost me tons of money for the lease and the interior renovation.

- Hello? - Hello?

Where have you been?

Yes... Sure.

- I finished it up by myself and... - Thanks. Bye.

Hello? What the...

It was my interior designer.

He's the hottest designer from NY.

He wants me to come by to look at

the Swedish tiles that just came in.

You're still picky as ever.

I wonder what kind of men will

put up with you.

What are you talking about? I'm not picky at all.

Anyways, how's your husband?

Didn't he retire 3 years ago?

- Is he still doing nothing? - I have to go use the restroom.

What a bitch!

You're lying, right?

About what?

About the Mediterranean feel and all.

I saw your resume in our hospital.

Mi-sun, you have to help me!

I haven't been here for 3 days.

I hope he did a good job.

I'm not gonna work in a shit hole.

Shut up.

Where is the light?

Wow! The place looks really nice!

I thought you spend all your money on shopping!

When did you save up all the money to do this?

I'm a pretty frugal person.

What are you doing here?

Working.

You work here too?

Just for today.

The clerk has a hot date

It must be a rough life doing all the odd jobs in the neighborhood.

This is the most expensive wine in the store.

You got finer taste than I thought.

That's nothing.

I'm getting the real wine delivered from Seoul.

You like drinking? Are you gonna drink by yourself?

I guess you don't even have a drink buddy.

Mind your own business!

I think you need to loosen up a bit.

I mean, it's not my place to say this,

but your life is too rigid.

Nothing excites you and

everything irritates you, right?

Like I said, mind your own business.

Whatever. $38.50, please.

Thank you.

Your change.

Think about your own life before you stick your nose into others.

- I mean, look at yourself... - Mind your own business!

Whatever...

Thank you. Bye.

What? Did I give you wrong change?

Thanks for doing a good job with my office.

Bye.

Hey, you!

Tell me if you ever need a drinking buddy.

Try drink together

Not in this life time.

What a snob...

I can spot your teeth from a mile away.

Did you bleach them again?

Why don't you bleach yours, too?

I don't even like brushing them.

Are you ready to open your clinic?

Yup! Ready as ever!

I even put in an ad in the local paper.

Do you have any more wine?

You finished that already?

There wasn't much.

You amaze me...

Delivery!

Did you order something?

I thought it's gonna get here tomorrow.

- Are you YOON Hye-jin? - Yes.

You ordered wine, right? Please sign it here.

Sure.

Isn't is supposed to be delivered tomorrow?

Why? Do you want me to bring it back tomorrow?

No. This is fine. It's just that I never had a delivery come earlier

than its expected date.

I brought it today because I'm busy tomorrow.

Is that ok?

Bye.

45� tilt for the best picture!

Did you order lunch?

How come no one is coming in?

Be patient.

We just opened. It'll get better.

I say 10 patients for each button. What do you say?

Should I go for the unbuttoned sexy look?

Why don't you just go for the full naked look?

'Cuz that's too boring, stupid!

Put it over there. How much is it?

What is this?!

Look who we have here.

So you're a Chinese delivery boy, today? The job suits you well.

What the hell were you thinking?

Do you ever use your brain?

What did I do this time?

Try to imagine...

what it's like to deliver one bowl of noodles to an office

that's right above the restaurant!

I wouldn't say this if you were busy. But, obviously you're not.

So, why can't you come down and eat?

Not everyone is as not busy as you.

Plus, you didn't even order anything expensive!

Isn't delivery a given service?

If you don't like it, then change your job.

You don't get it, do you?

Alright, listen very carefully.

Settling in a new neighborhood

isn't only about giving out opening gifts.

You need to talk to your neighbors

and get to know them.

Plus, we're giving out

your opening gifts along with our delivery.

And of course, people are getting curious!

What's this present for?

This is the opening gift from the dental clinic that just opened up.

Really? We have a dentist in our neighborhood?

That's a good news!

Honey, Honey!

Why don't you stop by the dentist with your father?

Don't you think they would say this kind of stuff?

Yes, they would!

C'mon, use your head!

Leave the noodles. I'm hungry.

No way!

I'm on his shit list again...

Who's that?

He's so macho and sexy!

Macho? Sexy?

Super sexy!

He's exactly my style! Is he the owner of the restaurant?

No. He's the neighborhood handy man who works for 50 bucks a day.

What a waste.

I bet you studied real hard to become a doctor.

Kind of. I didn't really study that hard.

In any case,

thank you so much for passing out the opening gifts for us.

No problem. That's what neighbors do. We help each other.

I wasn't really hungry.

So can I stop eating now?

Hell no! Eat it!

Doctor!

Are you ok? Did you get into a fight?

I'm ok. What can I do for you?

I forgot to tell you this earlier,

but every 15th and 30th of the month is the town's cleaning day.

Everyone is waiting for us. C'mon! Get your broom!

C'mon hurry up!

- Town's cleaning day? - Yes.

Can I skip this time?

I just moved in and all.

I can't make you go if you don't want to go.

But, it's a good opportunity for you to meet your neighbors.

But, if you really don't wanna go,

then you gotta pay the penalty fee. 5 bucks!

Doc!

Doc, open the door! Open up!

Now what?

Why do you act like this? C'mon!

Open the door right now!

Hey!

Open the door right now! Open it!

I promise I'm not gonna yell at you so just open the door!

If you don't open it, I'm gonna break it down!

Right now!

C'mon, open up for a sec! Didn't I tell you to loosen up a bit?

Open the door right now! Open it!

I'm really gonna break it down!

Hi.

I'm sorry but I feel so horrible...

I promise to be there next time.

Are you really sick?

Of course.

Get your butt out there right now!

Listen, Mr. HONG. Who do you think you are?

What a loser!

Who does he think he is?

The cleaning director?

The pain will go away

in a few days.

It feels good already.

I hope it wasn't too painful.

Thank you. You're a good doctor.

Grandpa, will you spread good words

about us to your neighbors then?

Of course!

- How much do I owe you? - 5 dollars, sir.

5 dollars?

Here.

- Thank you. - Be sure to take your medication.

- Alright. Bye. - Thank you. Bye.

You know,

I really think that Chinese restaurant method was effective.

I think you owe that delivery boy a dinner.

He's not a delivery boy. He's the neighborhood representative.

Neighborhood representative? People still do that kind of stuff?

I don't know

Whatever he is, he seems like a such a loser to me.

By the way, where did you go this morning?

It was town's cleaning day.

And you know how thorough I am.

I spent all morning sweeping up the streets.

No wonder my whole body is aching.

Nice going.

Ouch... It hurts.

Be gentle.

Stop being a baby and get up.

A baby?

Watch your mouth, you little wench!

Cool it.

Thank you, doctor.

By the way,

you have a nice ass.

- What? - What are you gonna do about it?

You're kinda cute when you're angry.

She's a feisty one.

She sure is, boss.

What do you want?

Please leave. Or else...

Keep your mouth shut, you bitch!

Watch your mouth, boy.

We're in the company

of fine ladies here.

No need for foul language.

I just want to talk to you...

alone.

Do you know our boss's nickname?

It's Screwdriver.

Doc!

Why do you always...

I'm sorry. My apologies.

I'm sorry.

Doc, you should've told me you were busy.

I would've understood.

I'll leave your lunch here. See you!

I'm sorry again.

Look who we have here.

Aren't you Screwdriver?

Man, you're still awfully dressed as ever!

Sorry but you got the wrong person. I'm not Screwdriver.

C'mon, don't you remember me?

I made a hole in your head with a rock.

Let me see. Look, right here. Yup, that's my work.

What are you talking about?

It was you who got beat up.

So you think you're a big shot, now...

Didn't I tell you I don't ever want to see you around here again?

Whatever! What are you gonna do?

You want me to kick your ass again?

I'll kick your ass!

C'mon!

After you.

Look who's back.

Who is that?

That's the kid who almost became a human vegetable

when he got beat up by Mr. HONG in high school.

It's a miracle that he survived.

- Right! That's him! - He looks fine to me.

But, what is he doing here?

If you're done with your visit, then you should go home quietly.

Why are you creating such fuss by touching her butt?

I accidentally brushed against it when I was getting my wallet out.

For real?

Of course.

Why are you getting so upset, anyway?

Is she your girlfriend or something?

I think you're over reacting.

She's my girlfriend!

We've been dating for a year and next year, we're gonna get married.

Even if it was an accident, I still have good enough reason

to kick your ass.

I disagree. It was my mistake.

And now, I'm just gonna go home.

Let's end it here for today. We'll kick his ass next time.

Boss, I don't know how you got beat up by that punk in the past,

but it's different now.

I know. But, I don't think this is the right time.

C'mon, boss! We've got more men! This is humiliating!

Why are you making a big deal out of nothing?

Please believe in us, boss!

No, believe in me, you shitheads!

We can't stop here. Get him!

C'mon! Do something!

I had nothing to do with this.

Doo-sik!

It took me a lot to get where I am today.

Please let me go.

Go and don't ever come back!

Thank you!

Take this screwdriver as a sign of my gratitude.

It's the best screwdriver ever!

I wish you the happiest life together.

Get out of my face!

Mr. HONG, are you busy?

What's up, doc?

Just stopping by.

Wow, it's a boat!

It's a boat alright.

Are you fixing it for someone?

No. It's mine.

Really?

You don't seem like the type with a boat.

Mind your own business.

Why did you put your boat on a hill? It looks stupid.

Why do you care if I put it on a hill or bury it underground?

Whatever. I just wanted to say thanks

for what you did this afternoon.

What did I do?

For delivering one maki roll

without yelling at me!

You got lot of books and records.

- What? - Did you read them all?

Some.

I was gonna sell them for some extra money.

It's almost ready!

This is the best soup you'll ever taste in your life!

Cheers!

- Wow. It's really good. - You like it?

Where did you learn to cook this?

From the chef across the street.

Sometimes I fill in for him.

Man of many talents...

but do you know how to do anything right?

Are you trying to start a fight?

No. I'm just curious.

- Do you live here by yourself? - Yup.

- Don't you get lonely? - Not really.

Do you have a girlfriend?

Nope.

How about you? Do you have a boyfriend?

I don't think my style is popular with men.

That's true. Men usually like pretty girls.

Promise you're not gonna laugh.

I can't.

I'm gonna tell you anyway!

Don't laugh!

Here I go.

Since I was a little girl, I always imagined that...

maybe I'm a princess from

a beautiful planet far away from here.

I accidentally landed on earth because my spaceship broke down.

I don't know when, but...

one day, a knight in shining armor from my planet will find me here

and declare his love for me.

I have looked all over the universe to find you.

You the most beautiful girl in this universe and I love you so much.

Please accept my love for you.

You're not laughing.

Stop torturing innocent earthlings and

go back to your own planet.

You're really annoying!

Why is she coming out from there?

Who was that?

I heard you slept with Mr. HONG.

Everyone's talking about it.

By the way,

I didn't know your ideal type is the 'handyman' type.

You like the simplicity, huh?
