-Block him!
-Hey!

Hey, pass it to me!

-Here you go.
-Block him!

-Hey!
-Hey!

-I'm open!
-Pass!

Get her!

-Duck!
-Look out!

Out!

What's the matter? You're out.

Why do the boys always play soccer
while the girls play dodgeball?

Do you want to do something else?

No, it's just that
they get to use the whole field.

We only get this tiny space,
and they get everything else.

14 M X 7 M = 98 SQUARE METER
90 M X 45 M = 4050 SQUARE METER

Soccer's meant
to be played in a big field.

Otherwise, it would be footvolley.

So why do they
get to use more of the field?

We all pay the same amount to be here.

This is unfair to us.

Why would you think of it that way?

The boys like soccer,
so that's what they're playing.

You girls like dodgeball, don't you?

-Isn't that right?
-We do.

How would we know
if we haven't tried anything else?

And I like fairness
more than I like dodgeball,

so I want to play soccer.

You think too much for a little kid.

In life, you sometimes end up losing out.

Your friends won't like you
if you try to avoid losses all the time.

Do you want your friends to hate you?

No, right?

Just step out and stop ruining dodgeball
for all of your friends.

Out!

Now, let's keep playing.

Where's the ball?

-The thing about hate is…
-Oh, my.

What now?

Hate is the giver's loss,

not the receiver's.

What's your name?

-Son Hae…
-Talk faster, will you?

Tell me your name.

I'm a stickler for fairness
who hates suffering losses,

and I was born to an angel without wings…

Come in.

Say hello.
He'll be staying with us for a while.

…a true model of kindness and generosity.

Say hello.

She'll be staying with us for a while.

Goodness.

Say hello.

She'll be staying…

-Hae-yeong.
-I was told to take after my mom

and grow up to be nice and upstanding,

but it was actually me
who had to be kind and generous

at the end of the day.

The love and attention my mom gave away
were supposed to be mine.

Careful.

Good job.

The time and energy she spent
should've been mine as well.

Mom!

Having never agreed
to be kind and generous,

I always felt deprived and at a loss.

I'm losing precious time here.

Just tell me your name.

It's Hae-yeong.

Son Hae-yeong!

EPISODE 1

Hi, everyone.

-You look great.
-Look here, please.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

CONGRATULATIONS
KKULBEE EDUCATION CEO BOK GYU-HYUN

Hey, Ms. Son.

-You're here, Ms. Gong.
-Yeah.

I wanted to spend my precious weekend
in crowded Gangnam

wearing uncomfortable clothes
and eating expensive food.

With people from work you hate?

You're an exception.

How much will you give?

Well, about 100,000…

You and Woo-jae are college
and work friends, right?

Yes.

I guess I'll give about 150,000…

The food here
probably cost a pretty penny,

at least 150,000 won per person.

If the food costs 150,000 won,

then I should give 300,000…

Is this a wedding invitation or a bill?

Exactly.

If I add up all the congratulatory money
I've given out…

COLLEGE FRIEND
150,000 WON

COWORKER
100,000 WON

COLLEGE FRIEND: 200,000 WON
COWORKER: 100,000 - 150,000 WON

…I could buy a small car.

No, at least a midsize car.

Think about all the congratulatory money
your parents gave.

Congratulatory money
is supposed to be give and take,

but I've only ever given.

At least you still
have a chance to take it.

I can only give now.

Just donations.

CONGRATULATORY MONEY

NAME OF GIVER AND AMOUNT

The whole country participates
in exchanging congratulatory money.

Look over here. One, two!

You receive as you give
and give as you receive.

It may seem like a fair system,

but there's a catch.

The added expenses brought on by inflation

and the cost of accommodation and travel
based on the wedding venue

are not factored in.

And one envelope doesn't always mean

only one guest will show up.

It's also completely unpredictable
whether the person who received your money

will remain your friend
without switching jobs,

moving abroad, or even dying,
and return the favor.

When you have to bet
on such unpredictability,

whoever gives it first
is definitely at a loss.

Welcome, Manager Son.

I didn't think you'd come.

Don't people usually not show up

to their ex's wedding?

Of course, I came, Manager Ahn Woo-jae.

All of our college friends
and coworkers are here.

People would find it suspicious
if I hadn't come,

you brain-dead idiot.

Congratulations.

Just six months ago,

I had no idea you'd be celebrating
such a happy occasion.

I can't believe you're getting married
six months after I dumped you.

It only took me three months to realize

that my dear Yi-lin is an imported sedan.

Meanwhile, you were a lemon.

That's for me to say.

That is all. Thank you.

Hello. My name is Kim Ji-uk
and I hope to join Liter Electronics

at its overseas sales department.

I believe I have two qualities
that make me a good candidate to--

Are you an orphan?

Why is your family section blank?

Did your parents pass away
or were you born an orphan?

No one is born an orphan, sir.

My grandmother raised me with love
before she passed away,

and I had a good childhood
thanks to the charity of companies

such as Liter Electronics.

If given the opportunity
to work for Liter Electronics,

I will not only develop my abilities
and pursue my dreams

but also take it as a chance
to repay what I have been given.

People with backgrounds like yours
are often tenacious and insecure.

Does that describe you?

Water to a snake becomes poison,

while to a cow it becomes milk.

My insecurity has motivated me
to grow and develop as a person.

I received a full scholarship
throughout college, and--

This job requires you to be fluent
in at least a couple of foreign languages.

Are you, though? I doubt
you could've afforded studying abroad.

Where there is a will, there is a way.

Where there is none,
there are only excuses.

I learned English and Chinese
through means other than studying abroad--

Where did your parents go to college?

Do you not know?

I see you don't even have
any internship experience.

I guess putting food on the table
meant a lot more to you.

2023 3RD QUARTER
LITER ELECTRONICS INTERN RECRUITMENT

Ms. Jung Su-a,

24 is a good age to be dating.
Are you seeing anyone?

No, I believe self-development
is more important than--

Men would love that you live alone.

When do you plan to get married?

Would you keep working
even if you get pregnant?

Traveling is a big part of working
in overseas sales.

Wouldn't having children
interfere with your work?

Well…

If your superior accidentally touches you
while trying to encourage you,

how will you respond?

I will try to make sure
such a situation does not--

Well, what if it does?

Then…

I will

talk to my superior
about the situation and how I feel--

Oh, is that so?

Mr. Bok Gi-un, how will you respond
if a female coworker asks for help

regarding alleged sexual harassment
by a superior?

Well, first of all,

I would ask her whether
she misunderstood the superior's actions

or if her actions
might've misled the superior.

Furthermore, I know no one who works for
a company like Liter Electronics

would do such a thing.

That's what you call
secondary victimization.

Personally, I would advise her
to gather concrete evidence

such as texts, emails,
voice recordings, or CCTV footage.

Just as I have done.

What you just asked Ms. Jung Su-a

is a discriminatory act
violating the equal rights

stipulated by the
National Human Rights Commission.

What did you just say?

Are you accusing me
of sexism and sexual harassment?

Don't you know what stress interviews are?

And if you get on your high horse

and act all righteous,
what does that make Mr. Bok?

Do you think he answered the way he did
because he's a bad person?

He just has common sense.

In that case,

I apologize for my rashness.

Please give me another chance
to answer your question.

Fine.

How will you respond

if a female coworker tells you she's been
sexually harassed by a superior?

Will you tell her to gather evidence

and head to the Human Rights Commission?

Of course.

Excuse me.

I'd like to apologize for earlier.

-Apologize?
-To me?

It was inappropriate of me to interfere
when you were putting up with them.

And I'm not more ethical or courageous
than you are, Mr. Bok.

I was simply not as desperate for the job.

My professor put me up to this.

I see.

Is that why your clothes and hair are…

If both of you are not hired,
the blame belongs to me.

My apologies.

Jeez.

You're something, aren't you?

What does it make us
if you apologize about that as well?

Right.

I'm sorry for apologizing about that too.

Are you an angel or something?

Listen.

You kept that interview
from becoming a horrible memory for me.

I appreciate it.

And I wouldn't work here
even if they hired me.

Screw you!

So do you accept my apology?

-Of course.
-Of course.

If getting a job isn't your priority,
what's your plan?

Well,

I'm actually doing something
nobody knows about.

What's that?

Mothers of the bride and groom,
please enter.

I can smell the wealth from here.

I hear Yi-lin's family is rich.

I'm sure he took his pick.

You know how cunning Ahn Woo-jae is.

MOM

Excuse me.

It's me, Hae-yeong.

Have you eaten?

I'm hungry.

I want food.

You just ate, ma'am.

She finished everything.

Is she all right?

Of course.

But you must be busy these days.

You didn't visit last week as well.

Well, I'm at a wedding today.

I promise I'll visit next week.

Please do.

It may not seem like it,
but your mother misses you.

Okay, I will.

All right.

Mothers of the bride and groom,
please light the candles.

Please give them a round of applause.

Here comes the bride.

What a good-looking couple.

You're right.

They really are.

Manager Ahn.

Yes, Manager Son?

6 MONTHS AGO

I already sent you
the workshop schedule by email.

It's not our date night.

I have something to tell you.

Is it urgent?

Yeah, let's break up.

-What?
-Let's break up.

Come on, don't mess with me.

Why are you doing this out of the blue?

No particular reason.

Did I do something wrong?

-Or is it a misunderstanding?
-My feelings are gone.

In other words,

I don't love you anymore.

It's over.

Hey, Son Hae-yeong!

Son Hae-yeong!

How could you break up with me here?

You don't have a car, so you'll be fine.

But imagine how painful it'll be for me,

thinking of you every time I park.

I'll find you another parking spot.

Drive safe.

Next, we'll take photos.

We'll begin with the couple's families.

You're doing great.

Let's stuff ourselves
with this expensive wine.

I'm so jealous of Yi-lin.

Today's their one-year anniversary, right?

I'm jealous.

One-year anniversary?

But we broke up six months ago.

HAE-YEONG AND WOO-JAE'S BREAKUP

WOO-JAE AND YI-LIN'S WEDDING
WOO-JAE AND YI-LIN'S FIRST DATE

He two-timed me?

I was wondering how to get rid of her.

She did the work for me.

We'll begin with the bride, groom,
and their parents.

Please make a heart for the camera.

One, two, three. One more time.

Good. One, two, three.

Next up will be the bride
and the groom's friends

-and coworkers.
-What's going on?

Friends and coworkers,

please come up to the stage for photos.

Are you going to join them?

Of course.

-What on earth?
-Oh, my! What's happening?

What on earth are you doing? Back off.

I heard it's been a year
since you two started dating.

We broke up six months ago,

but it's your one-year anniversary.

Did you two-time me?

Who cares?

It's in the past now.

All right, then.

Smile. It's a happy day for you.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

Next, please make finger hearts.

One, two, three.

Great.

That came out nicely.

Bride and groom, kiss! Give them a hand!

Keep going.

Sir, I hear the spice level for the meals
is not up to par.

We'll have to make some changes.

The meals are too spicy and hot.

There's no way.

I worked so hard to perfect it.

I don't mess around with food.

But I do mess around in other ways.

Come and eat, Ja-yeon!

You go ahead!

Come join me. I don't want to eat alone.

I get that things are hot,

but who gets naked on top of pesticides?

The food's organic.

That means it has bugs.

Have you ever done it on grass?

It's so hard to focus when you don't know
if it's bugs or hands that are on you.

You've done it on grass as well?

I'm starving.

Who put you up to it?

Was it your idea or the producer's?

Oh, wow.

You've been too busy writing
to even go to the bathroom,

so I thought I'd show you
what real food looks like.

Ms. Cha.

I'm bribing you.

Don't forget to hire me as a voice actor
when your story gets adapted.

Of course.

When's Hae-yeong coming home?

Her college friends will be there too,
so probably really late.

I can't believe she went
to her ex's wedding to keep her secret.

Office romance is such a bad idea.

What's Wrong with Mr. Kim?,
Office Matchmaking,

and Spice Up Our Love.

Those are all office romances.

I want people to read about it
and not do it in real life,

especially Hae-yeong.

Oh, she's here.

Did you see your ex off well,
Ms. Generosity?

That bastard two-timed me.

-What?
-What?

They started dating six months
before we broke up.

-What?!
-What?!

The day he proposed to her…

was also when I dumped him.

I knew it!

I told you he wasn't the type
to marry in just three months!

What did you do?
Did you just let it slide?

Before the tea went cold…

You brought it.

Oh, my gosh!

Are you crazy?

You're out of your mind!

-You went to your ex's wedding…
-And caught the bouquet?

Next up will be the bride
and the groom's friends and coworkers.

Friends and coworkers,

please come up to the stage for photos.

I'm passing. Are you going to join them?

Of course.

Please gather around the couple
and make sure there's no empty space.

Make sure your face is visible.

That's great.

Women must go on the bride's side.

-But I…
-That way.

That way.

Here we go.

One, two, three.

I regret giving the congratulatory money.

Jeez, my money.

My money!

Are you really crying about money?

Get married to any guy
and you'll get it back.

Would he come to my wedding?

And would he come alone?

He'll bring a plus-one
and only give me 300,000 won.

That's my loss.

Why did you dump him?

What?

You never told me
why you broke up with him.

Do you know why?

It's obvious why.
She probably thought she was losing out.

She's always been that way.
Don't you remember?

6 YEARS AGO

Jeez!

Hey.

You basically live here
and you always come empty-handed.

Does it not cross your mind
to buy supplies?

My living expenses
have doubled since dating you.

Am I dating you or adopting you?

Do you remember
when she dumped stingy Mr. Gu?

He was such a freeloader.

He always took fruits
and supplements without asking.

I fed him and let him sleep
and bathe here.

He'd do my bidding for a year
if he had a conscience.

Who was after Mr. Gu?

It was Mr. Battery.

You know, Mr. Park.

Is this really…

the best you can do?

3 YEARS AGO

I gave you so many chances

and this is it?

Did you even try your best?

Don't give me a half-hearted answer.

If you actually gave it your all
and this is it…

Then you're hopeless.

Hear me out.

If he enjoyed it three times,

it's only fair
I enjoy it three times as well.

-Come on.
-Okay, fine.

Three's too much.

But what about once?

It's his moral duty to--

Not even once?

Not even once.

I mean, is this a public bathhouse?

He basically only showered and left.

His battery ran out?

At least he was nice.

Does the other stuff matter that much?

-Yes!
-Yes!

WANTED CRIMINALS

Hey, put it up straight.

These evil bastards
are crooked enough already.

Oh, here comes our saint.

Thank you for the clothes.

How did the interview go?

Well, the thing is…

I suggest you buy your own.

It's tough to get hired these days
even if you look decent.

I see a new wanted poster is out.

I can take some
and put some up on the way.

Sounds good.

You might not have a job,
but you're a hell of a saint.

It's nothing. It's all for the safety
of my neighborhood.

But you don't live here.

Sorry?

Well, I should go.

All right.

See you around.

Is that the guy

who reported five wanted criminals,
caught two himself,

and stopped countless perverts
and scammers?

Is that civilian officer number 28,
Kim Ji-uk himself?

He's an angel in human form,

but would he be a good son-in-law?

Is he too giving?

No, I don't like his look.

LOOKING FOR MISSING PERSON
WANTED CRIMINALS

So we get to take the waste paper
from all nearby convenience stores

as long as we have
those posters on our carts, right?

That's right.

Since we spend all day outside,

more people will see
these criminals and missing kids.

We collect waste and help each other.

-It's killing two birds with one stone.
-Exactly.

-Please remember.
-Yes?

If you see any wanted criminals,
call the police right away.

But do it discreetly.

Your safety must always come first, okay?

-All right.
-Goodness.

I wonder who brought up this angel.

-What an angel.
-You're right.

A true angel.

Hui-seong's leaving, Ja-yeon.

Bye!

Any plans for next weekend?

-Are you visiting Mom?
-Yeah.

Should I go with you?

I haven't seen her in a year.

Well, her house is a bit run-down.

It's too messy.

Who cares?

Does she not want us to visit her?

Don't be ridiculous.

She's just a bit embarrassed.

We'll go when the repair is done.

Oh, my little Hui-seong.

Do you want me to buy you jelly?

Jelly?

Are you still addicted?

I swear smoking is easier to give up.

Is it still the same guy
at the convenience store?

The rabid dog?

Why is he such a rabid dog to you
and an angelic dog to me?

I don't know.
He barks and snaps at me for no reason.

There has to be a reason.

There really isn't.

He hated me at first sight.

So why do you go there?

If he hates me for no reason,
I want to give him a good reason.

Hating me is just his loss.

Hello.

Where's the--

Discontinued.

I haven't told you what yet.

Mustard Pang Pang Jelly
has been discontinued.

Could you check the back for--

Five Giant Worms,
seven Molang Jellies, three Heybo Mixes,

six Golden Jellies,
and thirteen Podong Podong Jellies.

You're a human computer, aren't you?

Amazing.

Give me a pack of cigarettes.

Oh, I'd like a pack of Sunhill…

Right there.

SMOKING SHORTENS YOUR LIFESPAN!
6 MG

Instead of the 1 mg, 3 mg,
slim, super slim, forest slim,

you gave me a pack of the heaviest 6 mg.

Why pay the same amount
for lower tar content? That's a loss.

-And is a shortened lifespan a bonus?
-Do you want to live forever?

-Hey!
-What?

-You little…
-You were rude to me first.

You've been a part-timer here for ages.

I will when you get married.

SUBJECT: EPISODES 97 AND 98
OF SPICE UP OUR LOVE

EMAIL SENT SUCCESSFULLY

Good work, Ms. Yeon.

I'm sure you're tired,
so don't check the comments

and get some sleep.

It's obvious the writer
has never worked in an office.

What kind of CEO
eats at the employee cafeteria?

It's so unrealistic.

Such a cliché. Do you even know someone
from a conglomerate family?

Is the explicit content
the writer's unfulfilled desire?

How promiscuous
do you have to be to write this?

What a slut.

The female lead is so obsessed
with her man. Give up writing.

The male lead's name is Ha-jun again?
Lazy bum.

I wouldn't even keep a journal
without getting paid.

These haters are so committed.

Ms. Yeon Bo-ra,
I enjoyed this episode so much.

Looking forward to more.

Keep it up, Ms. Yeon!

I'll go reread previous episodes!

SPICE UP OUR LOVE EPISODE 90

YEON BO-RA HAS PINNED HAJUNLOVE'S COMMENT

What's so funny, Jeong-a?

I'm reading a fantasy novel.

Fantasy, you say?

What's it about?

It's about a man who loves a woman.

-Does the man have superpowers?
-No.

Is he an alien then?

No, he's from a conglomerate family.

How is that a fantasy?

You're surrounded by
conglomerate families.

Well, there's eternal love.

The man is committed to one woman.

You should focus
on eating during meals, Jeong-a.

Look who's talking.

Why don't you focus on your family?

That was a long time ago.

And not in front of Gyu-hyun.

Please excuse me.

What kind of CEO of an education company
doesn't even know basic manners?

How dare you leave
before your elders have finished?

Sit. I have something to say.

I'm sorry, but I have a meeting.

Of the people at your meeting,

does anyone outrank me?

Where are your manners?

Go with him.

He was never a good father,

but it seems he wants to be
a good chairman.

Okay.

I told her not to throw out
the newspapers in my study.

We need to hire a new maid.

Just say what you need to say
and stop rummaging.

Here it is.

GONGJIN THINK GREAT: UP 91.4%
KKULBEE EDUCATION: DOWN 52.7%

Aren't you embarrassed?

What's the meeting even for?

To discuss how to stay in second?

Didn't you see

that we're first in brand reputation
and employment desirability?

The worst insult
your grandfather ever said was,

"Well, he's a nice kid."

It means you're useless.

So your company has a good reputation
and content employees?

Am I going to tell the shareholders,
"He may not make money, but he's nice"?

-But--
-As an only child,

you may take your position for granted.

You see, you bring a receipt
even when you claim back an item

from a pawnshop.

But what will you bring to the table?

Just a paternity test?

-Number one in revenue in three years.
-Get married.

Excuse me?

You'll never make number one.

The least you can do is encourage me.
Why drag me down?

It takes a winner to know how to win.

An incompetent pretender like you
can never be the best.

I'll find you a partner more than worthy
of a second-place man.

If you want what's yours, get married.

No.

-You refuse to get married?
-Yes.

You'd rather try
to push your company to the top?

-Yes.
-Within a year?

Yes.

Wait, what?

Finish first in revenue within a year,
or you'll have to get married.

This is an agreement with a chairman.

There.

And there.

It's all on tape.

That's ridiculous, Chairman Bok.

Wait, Father. Dad!

KKULBEE EDUCATION

REASON FOR DEPARTMENT TRANSFER REQUEST

I JOINED KKULBEE EDUCATION
AS AN IT SERVICE DEVELOPER…

For the above reasons,

I request to be transferred
to the service development…

"I request…"?

Let's go with "I humbly request."

Sir, I hope you're having…

a good morning.

Today's not a good day for this.

Maybe next time.

EMAIL SENT SUCCESSFULLY

Secretary Yeo!

RESIGNATION LETTER

Secretary Yeo.

-I want to code, sir.
-What do I do?

If you accept my transfer request,

I will do anything you ask--

-Marriage?
-Hey!

-What?
-Sir?

-"Hey"?
-A, B, C, D…

D, do you want to die?

My apologies.

What did you mean to say, sir?

The chairman told me

to either climb to first in revenue
within a year or get married.

Does it seem possible to you?

Do you want an honest answer?

It's impossible.

Exactly. How can our revenue jump--

Marriage, that is.

Are you saying it's impossible
for me to get married?

Well, you're not seeing anyone,

nor do you have a fling.

Have you been in a relationship before?

But saying it's impossible is a bit harsh.

I'm a third-generation heir
of a conglomerate family

-and a CEO.
-Oh, an arranged marriage?

Anyway,

do you really think

we can rise to first

-within a year?
-Of course.

How do we make it happen?

That's not for us to contemplate.

Then who should?

Wait, is the Mustard Pang Pang Jelly
are in stock again?

Yes, but…

MUSTARD PANG PANG JELLY
2,000 WON

Where?

Where? I can't find it.

You didn't let me finish.

They were, but they're gone now.

-What's that then?
-This?

The last one.

I'm dealing with cigarette withdrawal

with the Mustard Pang Pang Jelly…

What?

I'm off the clock.

You're so annoying.

I can hear you.

So annoying!

YU-KYUNG:
WHY WON'T YOU ANSWER MY CALLS? I MISS YOU

Thank you.

DESIGN TEAM

I guess Manager Ahn's back
from his honeymoon.

Isn't staying single a trend these days?

What's wrong with our company?

Our company incentivizes
marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth.

All of the employee benefits
have to do with those three things.

Really?

I guess you wouldn't know
since you're not married.

Just from having a wedding,

you get three million won
and two weeks off for your honeymoon.

They also pay for wedding decorations
and rent buses for your guests.

Register your marriage,
and your spouse's medical expenses,

flower baskets on your anniversaries,

and a vacation every five years
are all on the company.

Once you're pregnant, you get
one million won per child until your third

and maternity insurance.

Once your child is born, you get a cake,
a day off, and a whole lot more!

That's a loss to the unmarried.

We work the same hours,
but the married get all the benefits.

You're wrong.

If anything, unmarried people work more.

Married people have more vacations
than the unmarried.

Mr. Lee over there got married last year
and again this year.

I was shocked to hear it.

I didn't know he was divorced
when I got the wedding invitation again.

As long as you get married,

our company doesn't care
whether you live happily ever after

or end up living in misery.

Anyway,

after getting married twice in a year,

Mr. Lee got a month off
and a six million won raise.

What did you get
for working your butt off?

If you want a raise,

marriage matters more than performance.

HAPPILY MARRIED
GROOM AHN WOO-JAE AND BRIDE KWON YI-LIN

How was your honeymoon?

Good, thanks to you.

May I speak to you?

AWAITING YOUR AUTHORIZATION

YOU DOG SHIT

Jeez.

How immature.

And it wasn't immature of you
to two-time me?

Was that mature of you?

You dumped me without even talking it out.

And ultimately,

you benefited from my cheating on you.

-What?
-Think about it.

If you were my only love,
I would've clung to you like crazy.

But I let you go easily,
so you didn't suffer any losses.

You're a master of bullshit.

Cut the crap and pay me back.

Pay back what?

The congratulatory money I gave you

when I went to your wedding
to keep our relationship a secret.

I wouldn't have been so generous
if I knew you were a cheating bastard.

Pay me back my 300,000 won.

Are you really doing this
just to get back your petty cash?

"Petty cash"?

Is 300,000 won a joke to you?

You can call me petty all you want,

but I want my money back.

Don't you want to know
if I ever really loved you?

Aren't you supposed
to make me kneel and apologize?

You never actually loved me.

I don't want your fake apology.

I don't give a damn
whether you kneel or whatever.

Just hand me my 300,000 won back.

How could you…

make everything about money?

Did you even love me?

What, you bastard?

MOM

Answer it.

Hello, I'm sorry,
but now is not a good time for me.

If it isn't an urgent matter,
I'll call you back later.

All right.

How's your mother?

You son of a bitch.

How dare you ask about her?

Considering how you cheated on me,

I lost out and didn't break even
in our relationship.

But I'll let it slide

and only ask for what I spent
after the breakup.

Give me 300,000 won.

I'll pay that money back

at your wedding.

Although I doubt a calculating person
like you could ever get married.

"Calculating"?

6 MONTHS AGO

Manager Son.

Manager Ahn.

Manager Son Hae-yeong.

Manager Ahn Woo-jae.

Manager Son!

Keep it down.

Manager Son Hae-yeong.

-Are you that happy?
-Yeah.

Come here.

If you're this happy as a manager,

imagine how happy you'll be
with another promotion.

By that time,

we wouldn't be dating in secret.

We'd be married.

Married?

Hae-yeong.

Yeah?

Are you the only one?

I know I'm the only one for you.

I'm talking about your mom.

Are you the only one…

who can take care of her?

Ahn Woo-jae,

it was you who was calculating.

And I dumped you
because I didn't want to be a burden.

Yet you stabbed me in the back.

I'll show you what happens
when you mess with me.

Wire me my money.

I won't and I can't.

Oh, yeah?

Fine.

I'm here, Ms. Kwon Yi-lin!

You're just messing with me, right?

I'm sorry for making you wait, Ms. Son.

It's all right. How was your honeymoon?

It was amazing.

EDUCATION TEAM 2 MANAGER AHN WOO-JAE

Hello?

Damn it.

Damn it.

Damn it, where is she?

-Yi-lin.
-Woo-jae.

How could this be?

I can't believe this.

No, Yi-lin.

Just listen to me.

-I can explain.
-I'm so moved!

Look at this.

What's this?

It's a candle holder. Isn't it beautiful?

Ms. Son made it
out of the bouquet she caught.

It's to wish for brighter days ahead
for you two.

I didn't realize how close you two were.

He never mentioned it to me.

I hope we can be good friends too.

I'd love that!

Pay me back.

I really want to, Hae-yeong.

But I live off my allowance.

It's 200,000 won a month,

and I can only use a debit card.

Yi-lin handles all our finances.

So what?

Don't you have a secret nest egg?

I had to reveal all my finances to Yi-lin.

Yi-lin will freak out
if she finds out I gave you money.

I know I'm a bastard who cheated on you,

but I want to be a good
and trustworthy husband to Yi-lin.

I love her so much

and I don't want to fail her.

I promise I'll pay you back
on your wedding day.

So could you please wait until then?

Please.

-That's such a great idea.
-You should join.

-Maybe I should.
-It's worth a try.

It'll be under
the CEO's direct supervision.

BRIGHT FUTURE IDEA CONTEST

Companies foster talent

and talent fosters companies.

Kkulbee's talented employees

will figure out how to get us
to first place in revenue.

In-house contests

are basically clueless higher-ups
stealing their employees' ideas.

"Clueless"?

A bright future!

First in revenue!

Your life as a lone ranger!

It refers to a lot of things.

Secretary Yeo,

will this work?

Our employees aren't as desperate as I am.

Sir, what's on the line for you

is a fancy wedding with a daughter
of a conglomerate family.

But for the employees, their evaluations,
salaries, work experiences,

and even lives are on the line!

Who would be more desperate?

Do you know what a rain ritual is?

I will not stop
until it rains cats and dogs.

Where did you learn all of this,
Secretary Yeo?

At grad school.

So are you transferring me
to the development team?

What?

You agreed to transfer me.

What's my schedule this afternoon?

Being a secretary
really doesn't fit me, sir.

No, it fits you perfectly.

No, it doesn't! I don't even know
what you're doing this afternoon.

Training session at the gym.
I have to do an extra set if I'm late.

Mr. Bok!

Fuck-gyu!

Damn it!

"Fuck-gyu"?

-Did you just swear at me?
-No, sir!

I didn't mean it like that!

Have you seen this?

BRIGHT FUTURE IDEA CONTEST

An in-house contest?

They're creating a TF team
under the CEO's direct supervision

to implement the winning idea.

The CEO's direct supervision?

That means the winner…

They'll be on the fast track
to promotions.

Office romance, office marriage.

I don't need all that.

First place in the in-house contest
and a fast-track promotion.

Are you interested?

Very!

I'm sorry, but you probably won't win.

-Come on.
-Hear me out.

I know how great your work performance is.

Even your medical check-up results
are great.

But the thing is…

They don't recruit women for teams
under the CEO's direct supervision.

That's not true!

-Our legal team--
-You mean Attorney Kang?

She's married.

There are no single women

in such teams.

Come to think of it,
all the secretaries are all men too.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

A series of coincidences
hints at someone's intent.

Chairman Fork
has had a scandalous personal life.

Some say this was done
on his wife's orders.

Others say Fork-gyu is self-distancing

to avoid recreating
the same scandals as his father.

So you're telling me

Chairman Fork's vigorous crotch

and Fork-gyu's insecure ass

are interfering with my promotion?

Just because I'm unmarried?

Isn't this discrimination?

Of course, it is.

But to survive in an office,

you need to lay low
and put your head down.

If only you were married,

the fast-track promotion
would've been yours.

I'm done.

I'm done with work.

I give up on getting promoted.

I'm quiet quitting from now on.

Hello, sir!

-Hello, everyone.
-Hello.

Much better.

Welcome.

Please insert your card.

I'll pay that money back at your wedding.

If only you were married,

the fast-track promotion
would've been yours.

Damn marriage.

I would've done it if I could do it alone.

Ma'am.

Are you looking for something?

Yes.

A groom.

A broom?

Are you going to help me clean?

No.

The must-have to get married.

The guy next to the bride.

Oh, a groom.

-Be mine.
-Be what?

Be my groom.

Please be my groom.

EPILOGUE

By that time,

we wouldn't be dating in secret.

We'd be married.

Married?

Hae-yeong.

Yeah?

Are you the only one?

I'm talking about your mom.

Are you the only one…

who can take care of her?

THANKS TO KIM KI-DOO, KIM GU-TAEK, AND
PARK SE-WAN FOR THEIR SPECIAL APPEARANCE

-I know too much about you
-Hey!

to develop romantic interest in you.

Knowledge is in the head,

and romantic interest is in the heart.

Deal? Is marriage just a deal to you?

Are you fine with her using Mom like this?

How tall are you?

-How much do you weigh?
-I hate you.

So you were in a relationship.

"Yes, we were together."

"This is how she's taking revenge."

Who do you think they'll believe?

What kind of nutcase
looks for a groom on Pumpkin Market?

Then I'll do it.
