KKULBEE EDUCATION

[cat meowing]

[gasps] Oh!

We still have some time left.

Would you like us to help you choose a dress, too?

Oh, uh, no. I've already chosen mine.

Oh, really?

Then where are you getting your groom's tuxedo?

[Yi-lin] I have a great tailor shop I can recommend.

The off-the-rack suits here aren't terrible,

but it's better to get something tailor-made...

[Ji-uk] I'm done changing.

[gasps]

Is that the groom?

[Ji-uk] May I come out?

- Not yet! - Yes!

[grandiose music playing]

[gasps]

Ah, he just came from a shift at work.

He usually looks better...

[gasps]

[grandiose music continues]

[scoffs]

What do you think, ma'am?

[Hae-yeong] I'm so screwed.

Wow. Oh, Hae-yeong...

I didn't know looks were so important to you?

Yeah...

looks are all that I care about.

Oh my God.

[uplifting music playing]

[gasps]

[cheering]

[giggling]

[Yi-lin] Wow.

[sighs ruefully]

And this, too.

Hey, Woo-jae,

shouldn't you get going? You must be very busy.

[Hae-yeong] Beat it already?

I guess Yi-lin was really grateful to you, Hae-yeong, huh?

For that candle holder you made.

[Woo-jae] This is all your fault.

[stifled giggle]

[fancy music playing]

[gasps]

[Yi-lin clapping]

[sighs]

It's perfect. What do you think, Manager Son?

Looks great.

What do you think?

If you like it, ma'am, then so do I.

Ma'am?

Uh...

[gasps] Oh.

That must be his pet name for you, isn't it? Am I right?

[laughs nervously] Yeah, that's right, of course.

[clears throat]

[Yi-lin] Honey, you should come up with a pet name for me too,

instead of just calling me my name.

Why should I when you've already got such a beautiful name?

I'm sure that her fiancé just needed a pet name for her

since he is way younger than Hae-yeong is.

A bit weird to call your girlfriend "Ma'am" though, isn't it, hmm?

[Woo-jae scoffs]

I guess in the olden days,

even when guys dated someone older...

they didn't use "Ma'am"?

[scoffs]

These days, guys who date older women all call them "Ma'am".

Right, ma'am?

[chuckles softly]

Anyway, how did the two of you meet each other?

Tell us the story.

- Oh, just in the neighborhood... - We go back years.

The two of us met when we were kids.

[curious music playing]

EPISODE 3

Ma'am, are you done dress shopping?

If you are, I'm gonna...

Who are you?

Why didn't you say anything?

What are you talking about?

This, this, this, this!

[sighs in disbelief]

I said that the guests need to be able to forget what you look like,

-so how dare you be this good-looking! - Hm?

You should've warned me beforehand about how pretty your face really is!

[scoffs]

Wow.

Well, what should I have said?

You can speak, right? So use your words.

What's so hard about saying, "I've got a pretty face,

and I'm basically a ten out of ten."

[woman] How can he, when he looks like that?

[echoing footsteps]

And with that face, that hair...

All he would do is embarrass you, young lady!

It's only 'cause you don't know how well he cleans up.

Oh, stop, cut it out.

You take off those glasses, comb his hair, and he looks like a model.

[exhales]

[comical music playing]

Tell me, what's your name?

Uh, Son Hae-yeong's my name.

Oh!

That's beautiful actually.

It's got a nice ring to it.

Miss Son Hae... yeong!

[laughs]

[awkward laughter]

Enough.

Miss Son Hae-yeong,

instead of cleaning up a man, just rearrange your furniture.

You put all that work into transforming a man,

and he'll just dump you for some younger girl the first chance he gets.

[assistant] Yes, it'll be a waste of time, money, and effort.

You will get nothing back.

Most importantly, nine out of ten times...

[growls] it'll just be like...

putting lipstick on a pig. [sighs in annoyance]

[assistant] Oh, I envy you.

I wish I could find someone who'd try and clean me up.

[Ji-uk chuckles lightly]

What about her?

[chuckles nervously]

- Nam-gil-a! - Oh yeah, I'll be right there!

I hope the two of you can figure it out.

- [dramatic rock music playing] - [sighs happily]

- Such lovely weather. - Of course, yes.

It's so beautiful out. Hm.

[flustered sigh]

My plan's ruined.

I should've found an old used suit and put him off to the side.

Objects in the mirror are closer than they may appear.

These are both mine.

[chuckles]

Could I get a latte, please?

Uh...

Actually, make that two.

[Ji-uk] Thank you.

Wait.

Have something sweet...

and if you still feel anxious after that, let me know.

I'll find another way to help you chill out.

[ice rattling]

Whoa! It's good?

[chuckles]

[pensive music playing]

[Hae-yeong] How can this mug and that perfect face...

- possibly belong to the same person? - Ah!

How is it, ma'am?

[Hae-yeong] And as for that perfect face...

What are you hiding it for? It's a huge waste.

Huh?

Uh...

My grandmother always said

that beauty's more of a curse than a blessing.

That if you use your looks to get ahead, in the end, it'll only embarrass you.

Did your grandmother have a tough life because of her good looks?

Uh, not my grandmother, but...

If not your grandmother, who?

[somber music playing]

Um...

Don't worry about it.

Then, why'd you pull that stunt back at the bridal shop?

Why flaunt your looks, if you never do things like that?

'Cause that man, he's your ex-boyfriend, isn't he?

I'm pretty sure you hated that he was there.

You didn't want me to be seen by your ex.

Was it that easy to tell?

So shallow.

The weird thing is, I felt embarrassed.

Even though it's not real.

Got overly invested, huh?

Is that why you tried to show him up with your beautiful face?

Pretty lame, huh? I was being a loser, I'll admit it.

Don't say that.

Ahn Woo-jae was never as good-looking as you are.

And besides, you've got limitless potential.

You win, hands down!

By the way, you and he broke up not too long ago, right?

It seemed like he was already married.

Apparently, he and his wife had been dating for over a year.

A year? Wow. So...

[Ji-uk] Oh.

I'm sorry, that was dumb of me to bring up.

No. I was the dumb one.

He tricked me for six whole months.

Anyway, though,

you surprisingly know a lot about me already.

Where I live, who my friends are, even the people I've dated.

That's why you shouldn't talk so loudly in public.

I end up overhearing things even when I don't want to.

Do you think store cashiers are silent NPCs or something?

I blathered on about all those personal details?

Wait, even so, how are you able to remember all that?

[Ji-uk] I just do, okay?

All the things you say, all the things you do,

everything.

[pensive music playing]

I'm a computer.

[playful music playing]

[scoffs]

[Hae-yeong] In any case,

it's nice to be on the same side as you, rabid dog.

For a change.

- It's reassuring. - On the same side?

We're on the same team, you know? You're gonna be my husband.

Huh?

[chuckles] Once the wedding's over and done with, that's it, we're through.

[cutely] Aw, is my hubby feeling embarrassed?

Hmm...

[scoffs] Really?

I've been wanting to repay Hae-yeong for how sweet she's been.

[Woo-jae] They've known each other since they were kids?

How long have they been together then?

I'm so glad I got the chance today to help her out.

[Woo-jae] Is that the reason she broke up with me?

So she could start dating him?

That being said, her fiancé has such a great body,

he'd look good in anything.

That little shit.

Did you just call me a little shit?

Huh?

Oh, no. [chuckles nervously]

I didn't mean you, Yi-lin.

You were jealous, huh?

Jealous?

Did you not like me picking out another man's tuxedo

and telling him how good he looked?

Oh... [chuckles]

Yeah, I was a little annoyed.

I went too far, I know.

I was just so happy.

Ah, yeah.

Hae-yeong's husband-to-be, he sure is a handsome guy.

[Woo-jae chuckles softly]

That's not it though.

Something else was bothering me about it all.

You and Hae-yeong.

[curious music playing]

Hae-yeong is super smart, attractive, and has an incredible personality.

She totally seems like she'd be your type.

- Mm-hmm. - Wait, Hae-yeong?

What are you saying? I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, I'm glad. That's good.

[siren blaring in distance]

[Jeong-a sighs]

[Ja-yeon] Wait, boss, I've been hearing there's an issue

- with the menu. - [muffled moan]

THE SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING

AND SOFT FLESH COLLIDING

WAS NOT QUITE WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT TO HEAR

IN THE CAFETERIA REFRIGERATOR...

[boss] We'll have to cut back the budget.

The spices are too expensive.

SMIRKING SUGGESTIVELY,

HA-JUN POINTED TO HIS CROTCH WITH HIS CHIN

FOLLOWING HIS GAZE, SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND

THAT HIS GIRTHY INSTRUMENT

HAD BULGED UP NOTICEABLY

AND MADE ITS PRESENCE KNOWN

[Jeong-a moaning]

Mother.

- You off to work? - You reading something?

- What book is it? - [Jeong-a] Huh? Oh...

Sweetie, you're gonna be late.

Um, well, please recommend any good books later.

Then I'll be off.

Hold on.

I heard you're creating a task force for a contest

that will report directly to you?

- That's right, Mother. - Careful, son.

My warning about keeping women, especially the single ones,

at arm's length...

It still holds, okay?

Speaking of, there's something I need to tell you in regards to that.

Mother,

I've never disobeyed you, nor have I had any problems with women.

In fact, I've never even had a proper relationship.

[sighs]

Excluding capable employees simply because they're unmarried

- is going to hold our company back. - An unfortunate woman.

[dramatic music plays]

[sighs bitterly]

Even with all the wealth I possess...

I was called that my entire life, all because I married the wrong man.

Have I not suffered enough?

Am I doomed to see my son repeat the same mistakes?

Mother, please! I'd...

I trust you, sweetheart.

But, Gyu-hyun...

Bok Gi-ho's blood also runs through your veins.

You're still the son of that immoral, irresponsible, and impulsive bastard.

Bok...

Gyu-hyun.

I suppose I understand what you mean.

I promise to keep my word if it'll put you more at ease, Mother.

If not for my sake, then do it for yours.

Your father is only forgiving when it comes to his own faults.

He'd never be understanding with his son.

You need to be cautious at all times

if you still want to inherit this corporation...

without any hiccups.

I'm his only child. He doesn't have another choice.

You never know.

He may try and find a hidden alternative.

[Gyu-hyun] "A hidden alternative"?

[stomach rumbling]

- [sighs] - Was that a growl?

In front of your company president, no less.

You hungry?

[sighs] Just grin and bear it.

- [stomach rumbling] - [moans softly]

Come on, again?

You can't control yourself, really?

[comical music playing]

I have to put up with my boss's bullying to get paid this month.

So just grin and bear it.

I can hear you.

- I hear everything you're saying. - What are you doing? Ouch!

A secretary controls himself in the elevator with his president.

Oh!

- [Gyu-hyun clears throat] - [Hae-yeong] Here's some cookies.

- Thank you so much. - I'd love to see you there!

[employee] Mr. President.

- [gasps] - Let's go.

Hello, Mr. President, sir!

Oh! Go on up first. After you.

It's all right. Get in.

No, it's okay. I'll just catch the next one.

I insist.

[indistinct background chatter]

Son Hae-yeong. It looks like you're quite busy.

Uh...

[comical music playing]

[clears throat]

What's that you got there?

Uh, they're wedding favors

that I'm handing out along with my invites.

Wedding favors.

Oh, Mr. President,

do you happen to like cookies by any chance?

- I'm not really one for... - He loves them.

[Hae-yeong] They're handmade cookies, a hundred percent organic.

They're not too sweet, I promise. Here.

And these are the wedding invitations. Here you are.

Here you go.

[chuckles] Mmm.

I should attend to give you a wedding gift.

Oh, uh, that's not necessary, President Bok.

Kkulbee Education really takes care of its married employees.

We have the best benefits in the industry.

So all the benefits the company provides at the wedding...

I already consider that to be your wedding gift, Mr. President.

[comical music playing]

[elevator dings]

Congratulations, Hae-yeong, on your wedding.

Thank you, Mr. President.

[sighs]

Eat, eat, eat!

Mmm!

It's really good! Not too sweet.

- [Secretary Yeo] Mmm! - [sighs in disbelief]

But, um,

doesn't handing out wedding invites during working hours count as slacking off?

Listen, Yeo, I welcome the time our employees

spend not working due to their wedding, pregnancy, childbirth, or raising kids!

Our company's rival isn't Genie Education or Giga Study, but...

Korea's low birth rate.

Because the national birth rate is equal to Kkulbee Education's growth rate!

If lots of people get married, have children,

and get excited about giving said children

the best preschool and private education.

You'll become even wealthier, Mr. President.

Now you're getting it.

[door shuts]

Marriage, pregnancy, birth, childcare?

He should try it.

- [Secretary Yeo grunts] - Secretary Yeo.

Mr. President?

Hae-yeong's wedding... go for me, will you?

I want to give her a wedding present.

A president keeps his promise even if it was made in jest.

[scoffs]

I should go? Why?

Are you saying I should attend? And make her more nervous?

[comical music playing]

[sighs] He makes the joke and I'm the one...

[exhales in relief]

GROOM KIM JI-UK BRIDE SON HAE-YEONG

KIM JI-UK AND SON HAE-YEONG

- Please come. - [employee 1] Congratulations.

[employee 2] Are you really getting married?

- Finally, right? - [employee 3] I'm so happy for you!

[employee 2] I'll be there.

- Great, and take lots of pictures! - [employee 2] Okay.

- And stay for lunch. The food's great. - [employee 2] Congratulations!

[happy music playing]

[sighs]

[chuckles softly]

KIM JI-UK AND SON HAE-YEONG

WE CORDIALLY INVITE YOU TO OUR WEDDING…

[employee 4] Hey, have you tried the cookies?

Hey, everyone, so sorry I'm late.

Not at all, we were early, so...

[asst. manager] The materials are all prepped for you.

- Oh, thank you. - By the way, girl,

I know you've been super busy with all your wedding preparations,

but you forgot the most important thing.

Wait, what?

- I thought I looked over everything. - Not the meeting material.

There isn't a single picture of the groom anywhere, babe!

Not even on the e-invites.

I heard your groom was really good-looking too.

[muffled chuckle] Oh, I might've let it slip.

[Ms. Gong] Are you telling me that even Yi-lin

gets to see your groom's face, but I don't?

- I'm hurt, girl. - [laughs nervously]

I don't want to spoil anything.

- It's the highlight of the wedding. - [employees] Oh!

Oh, wow, look how she's not even denying it.

[Yi-lin] Aww.

By the way, Hae-yeong, did he give you a proposal?

"Proposal"?

[comical music playing]

- [Hae-yeong] How about you? - [Ji-uk] What?

That's what I'm asking you. Will you be my groom?

Huh?

I need a groom, all right?

Oh, of course!

I'm getting married because I got a proposal!

[Asst. Manager Lee] My husband only proposed after we'd set the date.

I kind of had to force him.

Me too, that's how I was proposed to.

Uh, what?

Oh, see, I hate that. If you're going to propose,

you've gotta do it right!

Proposing just because you feel obligated,

or that someone asked you to, or because of the wedding date,

then you're celebrating your marriage more than a real proposal.

- [Ms. Gong] Totally. - [Asst. Manager Lee] You're so right.

Hey, uh, you're not wearing a ring.

[curious music playing]

Don't you need a ring to have a proper proposal?

Quit it.

[Woo-jae] Come on, I'm right.

[chuckles cheekily]

Oh, girl, you're makin' me curious!

How'd your man manage to get a "yes" out of you, without even a ring?

Uh...

well, his proposal, it...

[Woo-jae] Maybe you proposed to him?

You're the one who's in a rush.

[all laugh]

You'll just have to wait to find out.

[Hae-yeong] It wouldn't be much fun if I spoiled it.

Wait a second, girl!

You're making a video, right?

[Ms. Gong] Like the one at Woo-jae's wedding.

For all those who are curious, please make sure to come to the wedding.

- Now let's get this meeting going. - [all] All right.

[whimsical music playing]

- [grunts] Let's go. - Ready?

Give up. Why do you bother studying?

Why do you always blame me for...

Just go. Move.

[student 1] Why's she here every day?

Does she live here?

[Ji-uk] You going home?

Because of you, all the customers who were going to eat here

just leave the store.

[assertive sting]

What are you watching?

PUMPKIN MARKET PROPOSAL

Props for proposals?

Someone you know proposing?

- [Hae-yeong] Mm-hmm. - Who is it?

You.

[humorous music playing]

Wha... What did you say I'm doing?

You need to propose to me if we're getting married.

Hold on now. Wait a minute. [sighs]

Okay, first, we've both already agreed to do the wedding.

Second, it was you, ma'am, not me, who wanted to do all this to begin with.

And third, what's the point of me proposing?

Have you been to a wedding recently?

A wedding is a special occasion.

And it takes a lot of work, getting ready for it, my time,

and my hard-earned money.

And whether we like it or not,

I get forced to learn about the couple's dating history.

'Cause all the guest have to sit down, shut up,

and watch this super long video the couple made.

- So what? - You and I need to make one.

About our lives, our first date, our history.

[chuckles in disbelief]

You'll do it, right? Since we are on the same side.

[Ji-uk] Get out, get out! What are you doing? Get out!

Hey! It doesn't even have to be in a fancy hotel.

Or involve diamonds in a designer purse!

Just blow up a few balloons, light some candles,

just get down on one knee and propose. Not even two. It's not that hard.

The fact that you're asking me to do it in the first place

proves you need a psych evaluation, not a proposal!

Not only is it a fake wedding, none of this was even my idea,

so why would I do anything like that? Get out!

That's why I said I'd set everything up for you!

Just show up and say the line.

Get down on one knee,

and say four little words, "Will you marry me?"

Okay, so what you're suggesting is that I propose with props

that were already used by another couple?

Get down on one knee in front of that trash?

[Ji-uk grunts]

What trash?

Pumpkin Market has good stuff!

These things have only been used once.

They're basically all new!

You'd be crazy to use that stuff twice!

Crazy? Oh my...

You... you need to do this...

You have to.

If you don't, we can't get married!

That works out even better. So we won't!

Let's not do it. Get out.

What about our child?

[dramatic music playing]

- What? - If we don't get married,

what about Kitty?

What do I do about her?

- [scoffs] - [student 1] Wow. This guy's a...

Loser.

[flustered mumbling] We don't have a kid...

You agreed we'd get the surgery for our baby, then raise her together.

Our poor sweet little munchkin.

Uh-oh.

- [wails] Kitty! - Cut that out. Come on, now.

- Kitty! [wails] - [mumbles]

Now, don't do that.

[faint crying]

[meows]

Oh!

Here's our Kitty.

Aw, here you are!

[Ji-uk] Heard your name, huh? You're so smart, aren't you?

You want a treat? Wait here.

Wait a second. Aw, good girl.

- One sec. - [Kitty moans]

There she is, our Kitty.

[rueful music playing]

[exhales]

[pleasant music playing]

Ah, right here.

You first.

Hmm, here you go.

- [laughs gleefully] - [camera snapper clicking]

[chortles]

You wanna feed me?

[music stops abruptly]

[woman 1] What is she doing?

[people chattering indistinctly]

What did you say?

Oh!

[chuckles]

I love you, honey.

[giggles]

Aw, let's go.

[chuckling]

[playful music playing]

I'm dizzy!

[music winds down]

[dizzy groan]

Good.

Oh, look, it's my favorite, purple yams.

[upbeat music playing]

And your favorite, honey, tangerines.

[gasps] They've got free samples.

- Can I have one, please? - Mm-hmm.

Would you like to try one, babe?

Oh, come on, you know I'm on a diet!

- I'll take one, please. - It's hot.

- [Hae-yeong] Let me blow on it. - What is she doing?

Ahh...

[background chatter]

[comical music playing]

[exhales in relief]

It's good, isn't it?

[comical music playing]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

[Hae-yeong] What do you think?

Good enough?

So the theme of these pictures is what?

Something along the lines of "Look how Hae-yeong is in love"

is with her cameraman fiancé"?

Wow, look at my expression. It changes so quick.

- Whoa. - But the Hae-yeong in these photos...

There's a key element missing here.

Uh, how do I say this?

Your eyes are dead.

Ugh, what do I do then?

I don't have any proposal footage

so I was going to use them as photos taken during dates instead.

Do you by any chance have any pictures taken by your exes?

I'm sure she deleted them.

No, I didn't.

Why not? They're embarrassing.

If a woman forgets what's embarrassed her,

she has no future.

Then create a video out of those pictures!

[Ja-yeon] I'm sure you look like you're in love in those.

You'll look younger, but just say they've been edited.

[Hae-yeong] And what if he shows up?

What if the ex who took those pictures shows up to my wedding?

[gasps] The horror.

I'm a genius. I'll lend you Tae-hyeong.

Just take pictures of his silhouettes, people won't be able to tell.

- Uh, that's a little too um... - What?

[Hui-seong] The groom's fake too,

so why not have a stand-in for the proposal?

Hey, hon, the three of us may be super close,

but there are things you share and there are things you shouldn't.

What is there?

Underwear?

Toothbrush?

[squeals softly]

- Ugh! - Ugh, seriously.

[laughs]

[sighs] You're gross.

[phone buzzing]

YU-KYUNG

HOW ARE YOU, JI-UK?

COULD YOU AT LEAST SEND A PERIOD IF YOU DON'T WANT TO REPLY?

[Ji-uk] I'm fine.

Don't worry about me.

[phone ringing]

[knocking on door]

VOICE CALL REQUEST FROM YU-KYUNG DECLINE, ACCEPT

Mm.

You're awake?

It's really late over there.

I already did my shift at the store.

Let me handle the job search.

[mellow music playing]

I told you to stop saying that.

Why would I go there? I'd be starting over completely.

What are we then?

I'm begging you.

Don't call me anymore.

I'm getting married.

I'm starting a family.

[fanciful music playing]

[Hae-yeong] Oh!

Uh...

I'll take this one here.

And this, this, this. And this one, thank you.

This one... This one'll be my wedding ring.

[jeweler] It looks beautiful on you.

Would you like to see the groom's rings as well?

Oh, actually, could I maybe just rent the groom's ring?

Oh... Yeah! Yes, you can do that.

Great.

Hmm.

[phone buzzing]

Big Sis, can you grab my package at the convenience store for me?

[scoffs]

What did she even order? Get it delivered.

[sighs]

Huh?

Uh, excuse me.

Is anyone working?

Rabid dog?

Did he go to the bathroom?

[clicking at door]

[hurried footsteps]

[gasps] What happened?

Who barred the door?

Someone!

I need help!

[eerie music playing]

[whimpers]

[eerie music ends]

[gentle music playing]

[switch clicks]

[romantic pop song playing]

What's all this for?

What are you doing?

[toy train chugging]

[gasps]

Mustard Pang Pang Jellies. [gasps]

[Ji-uk] Do you like it?

It's so cute.

Cute isn't exactly what I was going for.

Oh, stop kidding yourself. With this adorable jelly ring?

MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY

[Hae-yeong gasps]

Surprise!

Wait, but, how... Where did you get all these?

You said there weren't anymore.

I called other stores and the company that makes them

to see if they had any still left in stock.

I got them all for you.

You did what?

All of them?

It's 'cause they're your favorite.

Because I want to see you smile.

So, um...

what's your answer?

- Huh? - If you say yes to me,

you can have the last Pang Pang Jellies left on this earth

and as a bonus, a husband too.

Hmm...

So, are you ready to pay, ma'am?

Mm-hmm.

Put this on my card. I'll pay for them, okay?

It's fine. I'm doing this wedding now out of necessity too.

[Ji-uk] Uh...

Out of necessity?

Why?

Oh, keeping secrets from me, huh?

I don't have any secrets from you.

Someone keeps calling me, they're in Canada, and they...

want me to move.

I keep saying no, but they don't care.

[mellow music playing]

So I thought if I told them I was getting married

and starting a family,

they'd stop contacting me for good.

Ah, you too?

Is this person married too?

Is it someone you loved?

This Canadian who won't stop.

Um...

I don't remember. It's been so long.

I rented a wedding ring for you. Wanna try it on?

To check the ring size?

- [Hae-yeong] Does it fit? - [Ji-uk] Perfectly.

Ma'am, what about your ring though?

I bought mine, obviously.

I thought you were trying not to spend money.

Well, even after the wedding's over,

I'm still gonna have to keep showing up to work with my ring on.

I felt like such a waste of money, but I had no choice but to buy it, so...

Are you sure you're not gonna regret this?

This is your last chance to back out.

I might, yeah.

If you and I get fake married

and I don't win the company contest.

[sighs]

Oh, right.

[Hae-yeong breathes deeply]

That's why I'm going to win first place in the company contest,

and then I'll get promoted to that task force,

climb the corporate ladder and become the youngest exec in Korea!

And then what?

[sighs] Change it all from within.

The practice of excluding single women from promotions,

and only providing good benefits to employees who are married!

Hey, don't eat those!

I'm planning on taking these to an orphanage.

All right, look.

I'm only saying yes to this proposal because it's a fake one, okay?

Don't do this when it's actually someone you want to marry for real.

Who was the one who suggested secondhand props?

At least I can say

I did my best to prepare for it and it came from a heartfelt place.

I'll stay clear of women who only want proposal

with a fancy hotel and designer purse.

In the meantime, if you get a proposal with used props, say no.

So I guess we'll just need to avoid each other then. All right?

[Hui-seong] I feel sorry for that sweet angel puppy.

He must've done bad shit in past life.

Hey, Hui-seong.

- Mm? - Don't you think Hae-yeong looks like

she's about to burst?

What do you mean "burst"?

Her eyes, silly.

When she sees him. Pop. Pop.

[dreamy music playing]

[Hui-seong] Hmm.

Has she gotten better at acting?

MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY

Hmm.

So cute.

[cat meowing sound effect]

[groans] Oh!

Huh?

Oh...

It's not broken, is it?

The touchscreen work?

Let's see.

[tablet bleeps]

Oh.

[thunder clapping]

[sexual moaning sound effect]

[dire music playing]

[thunder clapping]

[sexual panting sound effect]

[dire music crescendos]

[breathing heavily]

SPICE UP OUR LOVE EPISODE 100

[thunder clapping]

[action music playing]

[Hae-yeong] Cha Hui-seong, the border collie sheepdog.

GROWL

Seat guests on both sides of the hall

so the groom's side has no empty seats.

- [dog barking sound effect] - Hello. Uh...

Excuse me. There's room on this side.

- [guest] All right. - [chuckles]

[Hae-yeong] Nam Ja-yeon, the carrier pigeon of fake news.

CUCKOO

[Ja-yeon] I'm at Hae-yeong's wedding right now.

I know.

Yeah, her fiancé's entire family lives overseas. They couldn't get flights.

I mean, it works out great for Hae-yeong.

No in-laws to deal with.

[Hae-yeong] Come up with a plausible story

for why the groom doesn't have family or guests attending.

Oh, they're overseas?

[guests chattering]

- [guest 1] Congrats! - [Hae-yeong] Thanks.

- [guest 2] Congratulations. - [Hae-yeong] See you at lunch, all right?

[sentimental music playing]

[guests chattering]

[sentimental music continues]

Hae-yeong...

[Yi-lin] Hae-yeong!

[Hae-yeong] Yi-lin!

Oh, Manager Son, you look so beautiful!

Oh, thank you, Yi-lin.

[Yi-lin] So you decorated this area instead of using a waiting room.

I should've thought of that too.

It's so beautiful and different. You're so creative!

Why not do it at your next wedding, Yi-lin?

[both laugh]

Ah, but, uh, is the groom here?

Uh, not yet.

[guests chattering]

[Ji-uk] Okay...

if you're the border collie, and you're the pigeon,

then what am I?

You?

You're the cautious little tabby cat.

MEOW

Stay hidden until you need to walk down the aisle, okay?

No matter how complete a transformation you undergo,

the less time the guests are able to see you,

the better at the end of the day.

Ah.

So, then who's gonna greet all of the guests?

I will.

All the guests who are coming are mine.

And the bride should be more involved anyway.

So that the guests will be less likely to remember the groom.

You're not going to use the bride's waiting room, then?

It's for someone else. It's better that they use the room.

Now, look over here for me. All right, big smile!

[serene music playing]

[Producer Yun] Great, all done. Next!

Look over here. Big smile. Great.

[Producer Yun] Now, say cheese.

Hey, Auntie, look over there. Right there.

[Hae-yeong's mother chuckles]

[Producer Yun] Three, two, one.

Great, who's next?

[foster child 1] Congrats on Hae-yeong getting married.

[Hae-yeong's mother giggles]

[foster child 2] Auntie, it's me, Dong-seok.

Yang Dong-seok.

I gained a lot of weight, didn't I?

Do you recognize me, Auntie?

Ah...

[tearfully] I should've visited you much earlier.

[Hui-seong] Now I understand.

Now I see what Hae-yeong wanted to do.

[Ja-yeon] This whole thing isn't a fake wedding...

it's Mom's first funeral, isn't it?

[Producer Yun] Now, look this way! Right here.

[camera shutter clicking]

BRIDE'S GUESTS

Hey!

[Hui-seong] The wedding ceremony of Mr. Kim Ji-uk and Ms. Son Hae-yeong

will begin in just a moment.

In the meantime, we ask that guests please take their seats

on either side of the wedding hall.

Uh, sorry, could you check on my fiancé?

I can't since I don't have my phone with me.

- Ah! Yeah. Give me one moment. - Oh, thanks!

[bride] Wait. Slow down, Dad.

You're walking too fast for me.

[bride's father] Right.

[bride] I don't understand. Why are you more nervous than I am?

Turn to me.

- You look good. - Yeah, I clean up nice.

[mellow music playing]

[Hae-yeong] I'm not coming home.

I'll be a foster kid too and move to another home.

Hey...

Foster kids are only placed in care 'cause of abuse,

their parents' death or if they go to prison.

She, uh, wanted to stop too.

She did. But then she met Ja-yeon.

That girl was in such a terrible situation that...

Dad,

can I tell you what I hate the most about it?

I'm an only child, but I've never actually felt like one.

I'm just another kid that lives in a family

with a ton of children but no siblings.

All of them were temporary brothers and sisters.

Ah, I understand why you feel hurt.

I never thought of it that way.

I asked Mom if we could try living...

with just the three of us for once, you know, you, Mom, and me.

Mom doesn't care about what her own daughter wants,

so why does she care so much about what other people are dealing with?

There isn't even much time left for me to live with you and Mom.

Huh?

W-wait, what?

Why isn't there much time left?

'Cause once I'm in college, I'm gonna study abroad.

Then I'll get hired out of school, move out, and get married soon after.

You know, I'm basically all grown up, Dad.

Understood.

As you wish, Hae-yeong.

Let's live as a family.

Just the three of us. You, me, and your mother.

- You're lying. - Don't say that.

I don't believe you.

- Come on, trust me. - Nope.

- Look, I'm not kidding. - [scoffs]

You're full of it.

Why don't you believe me?

[Hae-yeong] Oh, Dad,

I should've just trusted you back then.

If I had,

I know you definitely would've kept your promise.

Oh! [gasps]

[sighs]

[Hae-yeong] I regret it, Dad.

I regret it so much.

[footsteps approaching]

[Hae-yeong sniffles]

I thought you took off.

Nervous?

Not really.

[Ji-uk] I'm shaking like a leaf.

So hold on tight.

[sentimental music playing]

[Hui-seong] And now, the stars of the show,

the bride and groom will make their way down the aisle.

Everyone, please join me in giving a round of applause

for the happy couple.

[sentimental music continues]

[guests cheering, applauding]

[guests whoop]

[guests cheering]

[applause]

[guests chatter in awe]

[guests whoop]

[guest 1] Congrats!

[guest 2] All right!

[guests cheering]

[Hae-yeong] And you, Mom.

Do you regret it too?

That Dad died because you were too kind,

because you never thought about what I wanted,

because you never granted my wish.

I wonder...

do you regret it too?

[guests cheering, applauding]

[sentimental music continues]

- [guest 3] Congratulations! - [guest 4] Yes!

[guests chatter]

[sentimental music fades out]

Sis, when's it gonna be you up there?

The only reason I caught it was that no one else was around.

Tae-hyeong looked surprised, don't you think?

Isn't seeing your girlfriend of ten years catch the bouquet a way to...

pressure him without pressuring him?

Hmm?

Whew. Good work, you two.

[Ja-yeon] You must be tired after taking all those photos.

Oh, I only took them because Hui-seong told me to.

But I'm no pro, so Hae-yeong might not even like them.

It would've been fine even if your lens cap was on.

[Ja-yeon] Um...

Oh, did you eat yet?

Hae-yeong gave me her card so that the three of us could go out,

but... I think I'll leave you two alone.

Oh, that's too bad. I have somewhere to be after this.

Mm?

[Ja-yeon] Why aren't you going on a date with Hui-seong?

It's such a waste for her to go home after she got her hair and makeup done.

Ah, today's not the only day she's beautiful.

My Hui-seong is always...

I'll walk him out, okay?

Come on.

[Producer Yun] See you around.

Okay, Hui-seong.

Bye, Producer Yun, till next time.

[sighs in exasperation]

You should've rearranged your schedule on a day like today.

Ja-yeon's gonna get suspicious.

My bad, the writer and I wanted to edit the script.

Ah...

editing the script, are you?

[sighs]

Should I just cancel last minute?

My Hui-seong is looking way too sexy

for me to leave her like this.

You don't mean any of that.

Oh, come on!

I really want to stay with you. Seriously, I mean that.

You say you mean that, but your eyes tell a different story.

[both laugh]

Maybe it's because I'm tired.

You can't trick me. We've been together ten years.

Okay. I'll call you later.

- Drive safe, all right? - Mm-hmm.

[man] Uh, is it still possible to drop off a gift?

Yeah, is it for the bride or...

[gentle music playing]

Oh...

Are you...

Uh, hey there...

Ha-jun.

So it is you, Ja-yeon!

[delightful music playing]

[heart beating]

THE SOUND OF HEAVY BREATHING

AND SOFT FLESH COLLIDING

WAS NOT QUITE WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT TO HEAR

IN THE CAFETERIA REFRIGERATOR...

"WHAT CHANGES?" "THE MEALS ARE TOO SPICY AND HOT..."

"HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THIS, THEN?"

SHE WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THAT HIS GIRTHY INSTRUMENT...

[sensual violin music playing]

Wow, it's been so long.

We haven't seen each other since you suddenly transferred schools

before our final year.

You still remember my name even after all this time.

Because it's unique.

Nam Ja-yeon.

Sometimes I'd even search for your name online

from time to time

to see if you'd won some writing contest, or debuted as an author.

"Writing contest"?

Uh, I remember you used to work so hard on your writing.

A kid's book, right?

How about now? Still writing beautiful stories for kids?

[comical music playing]

Oh, um...

[dramatic organ music playing]

[Gyu-hyun] An ugly, filthy piece of writing.

To think the same Hangul created 600 years ago

are being used to poison people's minds with such vulgar writing.

King Sejong would be rolling over in his grave if he read this abomination!

This is a crime against humanity itself!

[both laugh]

I see.

[Gyu-hyun] The author...

No, the hack who wrote this filth, I wonder what they look like.

[furious choral music playing]

[sighs]

WEDDING HALL

Oh, Hui-seong. You're on your way?

Is Mom doing okay?

Oh, thank god.

I'm about to head to the hotel.

I'll give you a call after I check in.

Yeah, yeah.

[groans]

[Ji-uk] Tired, huh?

[sharp exhale] I don't think I could do this twice.

I'm exhausted.

One day, someone will show up who'll make you want to do it

all over again.

At times like this,

you really do seem like an angelic puppy.

Let's go get divorced.

[mellow music playing]

[vehicle horn honking]

Oh, Yi-lin. You haven't left yet?

We made a quick stop at the mall

and were driving by when I spotted you, Hae-yeong.

What are you doing here?

Oh, we... we're waiting for our taxi.

We just called one to take us to our hotel.

Why didn't you book a wedding car?

You're going to Sebita Hotel, right?

The company pays for a night there for all newlyweds.

- Ah, yeah. - [Yi-lin] That's perfect.

We can be your wedding car instead!

- Huh? - Huh?

Why not?

Get in. We'll drive you.

Uh, that's all right.

We called a cab and it should be here any minute.

- Aw, come on, get in. - [car horn honking]

Oh, look, there it is. Our cab is here, Yi-lin.

Thank you so much again for offering to drive us, though.

Aww, boo. We were on our way there anyways.

Huh? Wait, you're on your way there?

After our wedding, we never used our free night

'cause we went on our honeymoon.

[Yi-lin] So hubby and I are having a staycation.

All right, we'll see you there.

Later!

[whistle sound effect]

What's the look? What is it?

You said you weren't scheduled for a shift today, right?

Uh...

Okay, but just to the hotel.

- The hotel lobby. - Sure!

Hurry, Ji-uk. The cab's here.

[Yi-lin] Hey, Manager Son!

[laughs]

- [quirky music playing] - Hi.

- Hi again. - We'll see you soon.

[quirky music continues]

[Yi-lin] Manager Son!

[sighs]

[Yi-lin] Manager Son!

[slow comical music playing]

[quirky music playing]

[both giggle]

[Yi-lin] Oh? [gasps]

Look at this.

Have a nice day.

- Oh, you too, Yi-lin. - [both laugh nervously]

[music fades out]

- [door shuts] - [sighs]

- [whispers] I'm gonna go. - You're a lifesaver.

[quirky music resumes]

Oh, Manager Son!

Come join us for breakfast tomorrow!

Uh-huh.

- Do you like hotel breakfasts? - What?

Stay over for breakfast tomorrow.

Are you insane?

You're just going to sleep anyway.

A hotel beats your tiny place any day.

How could you ask a man to sleep in your room like it's nothing?

You're not scared of what might happen?

Well, you're not a man, you're a...

angelic puppy.

There's no telling whether I'll be a dog or an angel in a confined space.

[Woo-jae] Honey, anything else you need?

I'll be back soon.

[door lock clicks]

[gasps]

[footsteps receding]

[sighs]

[stifled laugh]

[sentimental music playing]

Why did you come inside?

It's a confined space.

Uh... I didn't...

- want us to get caught... - Okay, so...

are you gonna turn into a dog

or an angel?

[sentimental song playing]

EPILOGUE

[Hui-seong] And now...

the groom will give the mother of the bride a big hug.

[guests applauding]

My dear...

dear Ji-uk...

I'm here.

THANKS TO KIM JUNG-EUN, LEE SEUNG-JUN,

LEE JOONG-OCK, AND OH YE-JU FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCE

[closing theme music playing]

It's my first time at a hotel, it's not my first time doing other things.

[Secretary Yeo] Let's not leave it to chance next time.

Let's find some time to meet up.

[Ms. Gong] Hey, girl, invite your hubby over here.

-[screams] - [Hae-yeong] You are?

[staff] Well, ma'am, I think he quit.

[Hae-yeong] Kim Ji-uk quit?

[Chairman Bok] If you wanted to act like a brat,

you should've just been rude to a waiter.

But instead, you did what? Trolling.

[Hae-yeong] Outside of your age, name, and appearance,

I don't know anything about you at all.

You're a little suspicious.

Maybe you're hiding something.
