Episode 1

With all the latest automated equipment, the factory's quite impressive.

It was bought with our money.

President Kim! It's so hard to see your face so I personally came!

Have you not come to work yet?

You need to work hard.

In order to pay back our money.

Just what are you doing... that you haven't come to work yet?

Hide, hide well in there... because I can see your hair!

I placed the empty bowl outside, Mister.

Okay.

Kang Woo, try to separate the particles.

- Is the viscosity right? - It's right.

Hey, once Hyung Joong comes, we need to leave right away.

Hey, I'll get the ViVi cream and samples ready for you to take.

Hey!

Where's the president?

I'm the president.

Who are you?

Are you some lowlife gangster?

Hey, miss.

Get me a cup of coffee.

Feed me!

I'm starving!

Hey Oh Ji Young! Get up!

- What time is it? - Are you going to feed us or not?

Are you trying to starve your grandpa to death?

Hurry and get up!

What is she doing? You better get your act together.

Just who on earth is this crazy bitch?

I'm sorry dear customer, but we promise to kindly serve you at a later time. We apologize.

What's wrong with your cleanser?

- Pardon? - I was sure I removed it before I went to bed.

But when I woke up, none of the makeup was removed and my face was just greasy.

My face looks like it was drenched in cooking oil!

Are you sure you removed the makeup before you went to bed?

I cleaned my face at the nightclub before I came home.

I thought it was more important to take the makeup off then put it on.

I wanted to remove it as soon as possible

so I did it at the club, rather than my own home.

Just because it's cheap, how could you compromise the quality of the product?

That's distressing!

Excuse me... but how much did you have to drink last night?

- Why are you asking that? - You got drunk last night, right?

Now look here!

Can you check your bag first to confirm the problematic cleanser?

Are you implying that I'm lying to you right now?

Customer?

Customer.

Customer!

Please drink in moderation.

Too much drinking is poison to your skin. Okay?

I'm sorry.

Even if you use our best products, your skin won't get better if you overtax yourself, no?

On top of that, if you just slather lotion on without properly removing your makeup

your skin will rot, all right?

- I know that already. - And stop going to nightclubs so often.

- Look here! - And take it easy with cigarettes!

- It's not good for the skin. - Just who do you think you are?

- What's your name? - Thank you for using our ViVi products.

I am counselor Kim Hyun Joong, thank you.

Kim Hyung Joong?

Just what did you eat by yourself that you're already chewing gum?

- I've been chewing it since last night. - You chew gum while you're sleeping?

She curses while she sleeps, too.

Ji Young, I want to eat soybean stew!

No way.

Why?

Is this Kim Hyung Joong the person that I think he is?

Hey! Hey! It's not running!

- What? - Run! Run!

- The bikes! - They're coming! They're coming!

Hey! The ViVi cream! Don't forget to take the ViVi cream!

Let go!

- Stop where you are! - Stop!

They're waiting for us. At this rate, we're going to be late.

Hong Sam! I told you to hurry and change the container for the cleanser!

It looks exactly like the moisturizer.

- We keep getting complaints! - You told me not to change the containers!

You said what's inside is important and that the container should be simple!

That's great for you both

but now that the thugs barged into the factory, what are we going to do?

What do you mean what are we going to do? Hurry!

My thighs hurt!

Jung.

Like you said...

we won't be able to get the money by doing it this way.

Then... Then...

Don't face me again until you get the money.

Let's go.

President Hwang! Then... are you saying I'm fired?

President Hwang!

- I'm so nervous! -There's no need to be nervous.

- Hey, you can do it, right? - Of course.

If that punk Lee Yoon agrees to invest in us...

I'll strip naked.

Hands in.

One, two, three, oy!

But... why did you want us to wear these coats?

I want Yoon to reminisce about our high school years. I borrowed it from my nephew's friends.

Don't we look like missionaries?

Hey, we got a call.

Who is it?

- It's my mom. - Oh, your mom.

Hey!

Isn't that Chairman Ma from Queen Salon?

You can do it, right?

Hey, that woman next to her is pretty, right?

Answer.

Yes, Director.

- She's so full of it. - Hey, don't make any mistakes.

You think anyone... can become Miss Korea?

Right now, you're taking it off so you can have the honor of being the next Miss Korea.

You're not just taking it off.

The whole nation will be watching you on the main stage, anyway.

The TV will be turned on, eyes will be opened and every man in Korea will be watching you.

Imagine you're taking poverty off and you're putting on money.

You're taking off loneliness and putting on popularity.

It's all in the way you think. Your life is how you imagine it.

You walk down this road and your whole life will change.

The status of the man standing next to you will change.

The way your family eats and sleeps will drastically change.

- Understand? - Yes, Director!

This is nothing. Next time, you'll be wearing a bikini.

This is just a taste of what it really is.

Do you want to live a squalid life just because of your lack of clothing?

Even daughters of plutocrats are born with nothing on.

Everyone is naked when they're born.

You're being reborn.

You're being reborn from my womb!

Take it off.

Now... start! Start!

- Oh my gosh! - Oh my gosh!

The walking of Miss Korea is different from a model's walk!

You must walk without even the slightest tremor.

Quietly, without moving up and down.

And your heels are an extension of your body.

With the appearance of your mouth...

only the top front teeth will be shown when you smile.

The lower part of your teeth must never be shown.

- Very nice. - Chest up! Hip up!

Hip up! Chest up!

Now what? Man, I'm going crazy.

Great skin, great skin, great skin!

Hey, that woman...

- Do you think she's using our makeup? - What does she need the makeup for?

- She's perfect. - Look at her thighs.

Hello.

I am contestant number three...

Miss Seoul, Choi...

This stop is Shin Gil. This is Shil Gil station.

Please exit to the left.

Hello.

I am contestant number three...

Miss Seoul, Choi... Soo...

What are you doing right now?

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Candidate number one, Chairman Lee!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Candidate number one, Chairman Lee!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Candidate number one, Chairman Lee!

Just what are you guys doing right now?

Comrades! Do not give up your position!

Candidate number two, Kim Dae Joong!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

I am contestant number three!

Miss Seoul, Choi Soo Young!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

What the heck are they doing when there's a scantily clad woman in the middle?

- Candidate number two! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

Do you think politics is going to save the country?

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

Hey! What are you doing?

Be quiet! Be quiet! Seriously!

Look...

This young lady has no clothes on and she's trying to talk.

Listen to what she has to say!

Come here! I said come here!

Miss, you said you're contestant number three... what else did you say?

Choi Soo, what? Miss, where's your hometown?

If you become Miss Korea... what are you going to do for us?

Instead of Candidate number one and two, I'm more interested in contestant number three.

- Please, speak. - Candidate number one!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

Director! I'm sorry!

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

Where...?

Has... she lost her mind?

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

What are we supposed to do if she runs away like that?

- Candidate number one, Chairman Lee! - Kim Dae Joong! Kim Dae Joong!

What do you think, Ji Young?

Clean this area over here.

And over here, too.

- You see it? - All right.

Hey!... Over there.

Here?

Over there! To the side.

Hey! Right here.

- Here? - Yeah, right there.

There are wrinkles between the armpits, too.

Ji Young! It's going to get wrinkled in this area anyway. There's no need to iron it.

Then... why do you eat if you're going to take a crap, anyway?

Why do you live when you're going to die, anyway?

Hey! Are you going to marry that guy that you're dating right now?

No.

Then why are you dating him if you're going to breakup, anyway?

Ji Young. Is this good enough?

Wow! You get better every time.

Ji Young. The way your hat is angled is very important.

- Exactly twenty degrees! Perfect! - Thanks.

- Ji Young. It's all done! - Thank you.

- Here you go. - Ji Young, you smell good.

- To your positions! - Ji Young!

Ladies, are you dumb or stupid?

Why do you keep making me repeat myself over and over again?

Welcome to the Dream department store.

Welcome to the Dream department store!

The butt and the waist must be 90 degrees. Good.

It has to be perfect. Okay?

Understand?

The same goes for you. You have to be at a 90 degree angle at all times.

Because of you ladies...

I keep hearing that our department store sales are going down!

Manager.

Why am I the only one riding the elevator until the evening, full-time?

I don't even get a lunch break.

From open to close, I'm the only one riding the elevator all day.

Do you think of me as a mannequin instead of a human being?

In our department store, have you ever seen a mannequin that talks back like you?

In our company, there are about 200 female mannequins.

Those mannequins quietly and silently do their best.

They are the best employees!

Also... they don't talk back to their managers.

They don't say they're hungry, ask for food, or whine.

Always skinny and never gains weight.

Has curves in all the right places!

A body like Miss Korea and knows her place!

Completely devoted to the company!

But you guys! You guys! You guys! You guys!

Particularly... you...

are not very smart.

You don't know the way to survive, do you?

Manager?

May I... ask you for one favor?

It's time for work. Everyone to their positions!

When you come to the women's lounge, would you mind knocking?

- To your positions. - It doesn't cost money!

The knocking!

It's called a ViVi cream.

It's a new product that has never been seen in our country.

Our company's the first to develop it.

You can say it's a product that hasn't been introduced domestically or internationally.

The women of our country have been wearing heavy makeup by using a variety of products.

But with just this simple product...

they can go to the grocery store or meet a boyfriend that calls unexpectedly.

And if they woke up late for work, they can just put this on and go right away.

With this, you can't tell if you have makeup on. It's every woman's dream.

This product makes it possible.

The development of this product has already ended.

So if you just invested in this, we can put this out on the market right away.

This will be a huge hit if it's out on the market. It's a total jackpot.

Hey, you're really lucky!

- Really lucky! - Seriously!

- Want to try it? - Put it on! Put it on!

- Hey, the mirror. - If you put it on, you can feel the difference.

- Men can wear it, too. - Put some essence on before you do.

- Let him try it on first. - You can't tell if you have makeup on at all.

- Hey, try it on. - It can be used as a perfume as well.

- You can have it on for at least 20 hours. - Ah, this smells so good.

The scent is nice, right?

It's good to see you guys.

- Oh yeah! It's really good to see you. - It's good to see you, too.

When did you punks start selling makeup like this?

ViVi?

Can we even give the employees their wages this month?

Why isn't Hyung Joong coming out?

I wonder if I spoke formally to him for nothing?

We needed to be confident.

I thought you left.

Yoon.

I didn't get this position because people went easy on me.

Hey, it's been awhile since we've seen each other. If you have time...

Do you want to go out and have a drink?

It's 10 o'clock in the morning right now.

Ah, really? Sorry.

Look...

This isn't much...

Hey friend, help me out.

Hurry and take it.

How did you turn out like this?

I know...

You're going to invest in us, right?

Hey.

I may be lousy for giving this to you, but this money isn't dirty so don't worry.

Hey... do you remember my mom?

This money was saved for three years so my mom can get her molars taken care of.

Hey, I would never put you at risk.

Hey... stop embarrassing me and hurry up and take it.

Would I be doing this if I wasn't desperate?

Hey, lighten up!... Just act like you can't win and accept it!

You said if the water's too clean, there won't be any fish.

And if a person is too uptight, they won't have any friends.

Hey, how many cigarettes have we smoked together at school?

- Hey... - Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hey, do you have a girlfriend? Of course you do! Tell her to try this.

She's going to love it!

Help your mother with her molars, first.

Your mother is healthy, right?

I have another meeting to go to.

- Sorry. - Hey, Yoon...

Hong Sam. Who you are you going to vote for?

I don't know.

What about you?

I'm...

That's only if our company will still be around... whether I'll vote or not.

- Hey, let's reconsider. - Reconsider what?

Miss Korea. Let's try making a Miss Korea, too!

Stop bringing that up! It's complete nonsense.

Even with Italy's Layla Cosmetics...

Right when they were about to fall apart, they sent a woman to a beauty pageant.

As soon as she became Miss Italy, the company became famous.

- and they rose back up like fire. - That's right!

Queen Salon was like that, too. As soon as Chairman Ma became Miss Korea, it became huge.

Exactly! Why do you think Chairman Ma put on that ridiculous show on the train?

- Because Miss Korea brings in a lot of money! - That's right, money.

Hey, President Kim!

Miss Korea is just money, okay?

Should I just call it quits and scrub people's backs at my mom's bath house?

Stop talking bull crap!

While we're here, let's ask the department store manager Park about the admission again.

Basement first floor. This is the food department.

Have a good day. Thank you.

Going up.

Sixth floor. This is the men's clothing department.

Have a good day.

- Wait! - I'm sorry, please take the next elevator.

Basement second floor. This is the parking lot.

Goodbye.

- A big one is needed, too. - But look how big it is.

Look! Look! It's the same.

Even though it's big, it's still the same. It's not that big, it's fine.

I'm telling you, the exterior in itself is different.

What is that?

Why are there so many people?

Hello, who should I make it out to?

Miss Korea's giving autographs.

Hey Kang Woo... it's your brother.

Please focus on the sales of the new product.

Oh, hello.

Please continue to focus on the sales of the new product.

I heard Oh Ji Young is working here.

You think she's still popular?

First floor. This is the makeup department.

Welcome, dear customer. We're going up.

This is the first floor.

Welcome, dear customer. We're going down.

Basement third floor. This is the parking lot.

Goodbye.

- Which floor? - Eighth floor.

Wait.

I'll press it.

Did you fart?

Excuse me?

You did fart, didn't you?

No, I didn't.

Inside the elevator, pagers are not allowed!

Candy and gum are not allowed! And secretly eating is restricted.

Moreover, farting is worse if you...

You get a minus!

I really didn't do it.

Why you... You think the customers come here to smell your fart?

In this fresh space for the customers, how dare you fart in here!

Hey, can't you even control your own fart?

You should've held it in and run outside to take care of it!

Fart freely in your own room.

As long as you work here, not only you...

but don't you know that your fart has to follow my commands as well?

I told you, I really didn't do it!

I'll take care of my own fart!

Seriously! You're so ignorant!

Why is taking care of my own fart ignorant?

Oh gosh! I can't breathe!

This isn't your home.

This place is where you work.

Will anyone explain... why I have to knock to come in here?

With the department store's decision, we are asking you to support the hope retirement.

What is a hope retirement?

This is the first time I've ever heard of it.

Of course it is. It's a good thing.

It's a good thing?

It means you will voluntarily leave the company.

In exchange, you will receive a very good pension.

We will also give you six months' worth of wages to help you get by until you get a new job.

What do you think? Isn't the company so thoughtful?

Think carefully.

Are we getting kicked out from the department store?

What are we going to do, Ji Young?

Do we have to get a new job?

How are we going to find a new job in this economy?

That's what I'm saying...

The elevator world is all gone, Ji Young.

Sam Mi Bank is gone and the Do Rae Mi department will soon disappear as well.

There's not one place looking for a new elevator girl in the Republic of Korea.

Ji Young!

- What are we going to do? - Ji Young!

I have to pay my rent, too. What am I going to do?

There's really not even one place?

There's none.

Where are we supposed to go?

Now what?

Director, we can't find a girl this way.

If we sit, wait and make a Miss Korea, then anyone can become one.

- One moment. I'll be right back. - Okay.

- How will I get her tonight? - Her?

She comes here for free to attract the customers.

Hey, I tried hooking up with her several times.

She won't fall for you at all.

Pour our president a drink!

Drink up!

President! Please pour me a glass, sir. I would like to receive a drink from you.

Come out, you two.

Hurry!

Hey.

What are you... What are you doing right now?

I'm sorry, President.

What is this?

What are you doing right now?

Hey! What do you think...

What are you doing right now?

I already took their clothes off.

Aren't they pretty? They're skinny, right?

You said they are the best employees.

Hey, come here right now!

Aren't they a lot better than these two with forced smiles, Manager?

They know their place.

They quietly do their job, they're devoted to the company and don't even expect a knock.

And they don't ignorantly fart at all.

They have curves in all the right places, it's perfect!

Hey...

Then... please have a good time.

Hey!

Don't cry. What did we do wrong?

Enough!

Ji Young.

A well-proportioned figure.

From the floor to the knee, 51 cm.

From the floor to the hip, 90 cm.

The ratio is exceptional.

Ankle circumference, 20 cm. Hip circumference, 90 cm.

Waist circumference, 58 cm. Shoulder width, 40 cm.

The view of her back, the best I've ever seen.

Did President Hwang come out yet?

You've gotten big, punk! All right you bastard!

- Excuse me! - Move a little. Move a little, will you?

Hey, lady!

Seriously.

All right, punks!

Excuse me! Excuse me!

You guys don't know how to treat your elders!

Do you not have eyes? Do you not have a mouth?

Why are you running into people like you're blind?

And do you not have a mouth that you can't even apologize?

Do you know what I lost because of you?

Lady... get lost.

The President is coming out!

I told you to apologize!

Director!

Director, let's go. It's dangerous for you to do this.

Just my luck today! I had to cross paths with some thug bastard!

Those suits are a waste.

Look at those haircuts!

It's like you got it cut it in someone's back yard in the country! So boorish!

The woman who cut your hair is an evil wench!

But what can I expect from men that look like you!

You're right. Let's go.

You good for nothing bastard!

Let's go.

Do my words mean nothing to you, Jung?

Of course they do, sir!

You've been fired, Jung.

I'm... still young, President Hwang.

Exactly... so let go.

Get married and find a new way to make a living. You're still young to do all that.

I... have no money saved up.

How can you suddenly tell me to get a new job?

If you get the 500 million won from President Kim that we let him borrow...

thirty percent of that money is your severance pay.

If you don't get it, you don't even get severance pay, Jung.

Do whatever you can to get it back.

I'm sorry, Ji Young.

Thanks, Ji Young.

Tomorrow morning, if Manager Park tells us to pay for the two mannequins, we split it,okay?

- Of course! - Of course!

- They're expensive. - Of course!

Are we the only elevator girls left, in the whole world?

It seems like it.

Hey, we'll stick it out no matter what.

And whether it's 2000 or 2010...

let's keep saying, 'We're going up', 'we're going down', okay?

Drink, drink!

- Here. - Cheers.

Ask the nightclub and get some information on that woman.

To that old geezer that we lost the girl to!

Yes, ma'am.

These girls are pretty exceptional.

Can I see that one over there separately, President Park?

Take it off.

How old are you?

How old are you?

Are you a high school student?

Did you run away from home?

What about school?

From now on... listen to me carefully.

Starting tomorrow, quit this job immediately.

I'm... going to send you back to school again...

And you can go back home.

You have to graduate from high school.

If your family is having a hard time financially...

Then I'll take full responsibility for you until high school.

You're so pretty. You can't waste your life at a place like this.

I'll get upset, all right?

Also... don't easily take your clothes off if someone tells you to.

You only take it off when I tell you to.

Until you're 20, don't take your clothes off for anyone.

So not even your boyfriend, family, anyone! Understand?

Your body is precious.

Right now, you just don't know how pretty and precious your body is.

Why are you acting like this, towards me?

I'll turn you into the prettiest woman in the Republic of Korea.

- Punk, you want to die? - Yeah, kill me... just kill me!

If I don't get the money... it looks like I'm the one that's going to die!

Bastard!

I feel so dirty and low that I want to die several times a day!

- You punk! - Kill me!

Ow, that hurts!

What the heck am I supposed to do? Seriously!

Save me!

President Kim.

Did you say you graduated from Seoul University?

What's the point of graduating from Seoul University?

You only came out from middle school and I get my butt kicked by you every day.

I'm going to be your bodyguard, starting tomorrow.

Bodyguard?

What bodyguard? How are you going to protect me?

People like you are the most frightening.

Because you might die and the money's a waste, too.

Don't you watch the news?

There's a lot of wealthy men that jump in the Han River because of money problems.

So instead of a bodyguard...

are you saying you're going to stick to me like glue and watch over me?

Don't waste your money on stupid things like Miss Korea or Mr. Korea.

If you get any money, give it to me right away.

Did you... hurt the other guys?

Did you!

All they know how to do is turn a microscope in the lab. They know absolutely nothing!

I mean, why are you coming to the factory scaring all the employees like that?

By doing that, do you think you can make money appear that doesn't exist?

Then what about me punk?

Am I supposed to suck my thumb and wait for you to give me the money?

Besides killing yourself... do everything that you can.

Until you give them the money, you won't be able to die!

Got it?

Give me some money.

- Here's 100 won - I only have a 100 won, too.

Welcome to the Dream department store.

Welcome to the Dream department store.

Third floor. This is the parking lot. Thank you

Thank you.

When are you done?

You are the Kim Hyung Joong that I thought you were.

It's been ten years... Aren't you happy to see me?

Ten years? Yeah right.

I just saw you looking at me a little while ago.

- That will be one thousand won. - I'm still a student though.

I heard you were a senior, Hyung Joong.

I'm a freshman.

Look here. That's my school's badge.

I said look.

Don't you think our badge is pretty?

- Go in. - Did you look at my badge?

- There are no customers, right? - Yes... yeah.

I... like scrubbing alone by myself.

She's here! She's here! The goddess from the cigarette store!

Oh Ji Young has arrived!

You little punks! What are they doing during study hour?

Man, that girl really knows how to drive a guy crazy.

I hear she's going out with a college guy.

- Really? - Do you still not smoke?

Yeah.

The whole school buys cigarettes from her. You still haven't?

Move! Move! Move!

Nice! Nice!

- Oh Ji Young! - Oh Ji Young!

- Oh Ji Young! - Oh Ji Young!

Kim Kang Woo, you punk! Turn that off this instant!

Get back to your studies!

- Oh Ji Young! - Oh Ji Young!

- She's the new Miss Korea, right? - Yes.

You have a really good memory, father.

Ah, she's Jang Yoon Jung.

Grandpa can't see!

One Sol... please.

Five hundred won.

Sae Man... please.

Thank you.

Here you go.

[I love you, Oh Ji Young]

Kool, please.

With the left over money... let's go on a date.

There's no money for change.

Next.

You're the guy from the bath house.

What are you looking for?

- What do you want? - Ah, yes.

I...

Will you give me a pack of Sol please?

How much is it?

You don't know how to smoke, do you?

Excuse me?

Then why are you buying cigarettes?

I know how to smoke.

It's 500 won.

Do you want me to teach you?

Sit.

Just think of it as a cigarette and light it up.

Dummy.

I'm right, you don't know how to smoke.

The cigarette won't light up if you do it that way.

You have to put it in your mouth and suck it if you want it to light up.

It smells good doesn't it?

Ah, this yummy smell.

Here. Try it again.

Why are you closing your eyes?

This is going to take all night. At this rate, when are you going to learn?

Don't smoke. It's not good for you, anyway.

- Should we stop? - No!

I want to learn.

Okay, Look.

Before you put it in your mouth, there's an important ritual that you have to do.

Right here. Can you see it?

This is the filter right here.

Take it and tap it on your hand, like this.

That way, the cigarette leaves will be nicely packed and you'll be able to suck it well.

It tastes good and the smoke comes out nicely.

Here.

That's surface smoking.

Inhale it deeply.

Stop surface smoking and swallow it!

Good! That's it.

Hey, I'm curious about something.

Why are we practicing with this?

The sausage tastes a lot better if it's cooked.

I don't know how to smoke.

I've seen the men in my family smoke so much that I just taught you what I saw.
