[elevator dings]
-They stink. -So gross.
[comical music playing]
What do you think of this situation we're in here, Yeo?
I've heard of "Always listen to your boss,"
never "you must carry his drunk employees."
I think this is insubordination.
-[Yi-lin] Whoa, oh, my God. -[all groaning]
[Hae-yeong] You smell nice.
-[Yi-lin] That's my hair. -[Ji-uk] Next time you volunteer--
Listen, listen. You just...
-gotta scrub it good, and that's... -[hushing]
...how you get the poop out.
-Oh, your breath! Ew! -[Ji-uk] So clean!
All you have to do is squeeze, squeeze, twist, twist,
-they'll be nice and clean all over again. -Lucifer.
-Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it. -Lucifer!
Lucifer, I think I like you best when you're sleeping. Don't you?
Yeah, yeah, okay, but, uh...
You know, buddy, you're sweating! Sweating!
How dare you ride the president like a donkey! You're a newbie!
-[Ji-uk] Ow! Ow! -Get down! Get down!
-No, let go. No, no! -[all groaning]
Son Hae-yeong! Son Hae-yeong!
-Oh, Hae-yeong, come-- -Yes, this is Son Hae-yeong!
I'll take the weight off your shoulders, President Bok!
-[all groaning] -[Hae-yeong squeals, laughs]
What a wonderful employee.
-[Ha-jun] Hurry! Open the door! -[Gyu-hyun] No, wait!
-Give it. -Here.
-[Hae-yeong] Yeah! -[Gyu-hyun] Thanks! Come on, Yeo!
-[Yi-lin] Secretary Yeo! -Huh?
Please put my husband in this room.
-In there? All right. -[Yi-lin] Inside.
[Ha-jun grunts] Oh, my God!
[both panting]
[Gyu-hyun] Yi-lin...
tomorrow, Son Hae-yeong and that new hire--
Fire them both!
Oh... Oh!
[door closes]
No, I wanted to give them the day off.
Hold on, Yeo! Wait for me, okay? Don't take my car!
-Boss, boss, boss! Uh... -Hey, Yeo!
It seems like a waste to me...
to transfer Ji-uk to another team away from his wife,
especially after that press conference the company just held.
It could be beneficial for our new venture.
Well, it's a shame, but there's nothing I can do.
I think I have a good idea if you like to hear it.
How good of an idea?
Your car's in the garage? I'll fill you in on the way.
I need something from my car.
[mysterious music playing]
[Hae-yeong groans softly]
[frantic music playing]
[both screaming]
[gasps]
[frantic music crescendos]
[animal growling effect]
[gasps]
[all screaming]
[Ji-uk yelps]
What are you two doing?
Why are you in here?
-I don't know. -[Woo-jae] Hey, I don't know either.
Why am I here?
Wait, but why would she ask you that?
What?
I mean, you're... her husband.
[tense sting]
-Yeah. -Uh...
-[knocking on door] -[all gasp]
[suspenseful music playing]
-[whispers] Who's that? -Who is it?
-You go check. -Why me?
It's your room, Hae-yeong.
That's right. You get out of here!
-[knocking on door] -[gasps]
[Yi-lin] Are you all still sleeping?
Hae-yeong, wake up! Kim Ji-uk?
Woo-jae, wake up!
[whimpers] It's Yi-lin.
Yeah. What do we do? You think she's mad? Huh?
This situation with the three of us in here is inappropriate.
It isn't. It's very...
depraved is what it is.
No decent Korean would do this.
But nothing happened between us.
Nothing happened, right?
What are you asking me for?
-[knocking on door] -[nervous breath]
We just need to be confident and it'll be okay.
You're drunk, you stumbled into our room by accident,
and we were too drunk to realize you were there.
All that happened... is we fell asleep in the same bed
because we couldn't handle our alcohol.
[sharp exhale] Hmm.
[bold music playing]
[Yi-lin groans]
So you're awake? How did you sleep?
Kim Ji-uk?
I... What's going on?
[nervous chuckle]
Uh, you see, hon, what happened was--
Do you even remember what happened last night?
[sighs]
[comical music playing]
[Yi-lin] None of you were answering your phones,
and when I asked the staff, they wouldn't open the door
because of hotel rules.
Do you know how worried I was that you'd wake up,
go out and get into a fight or something?
I barely got any sleep at all.
But you're the one who said I should drink.
I told you to have a drink, not to get blacked out.
-Someone's got a problem. -His poor wife.
Stop bothering them already and let's go.
[Woo-jae] Right.
The president wanted me to tell you both that's he's giving you
a free vacation day.
-[gasps] -Enjoy your day off.
-[Hae-yeong exclaims] -Mm.
Now where'd my watch go?
It's not in your shoe?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You see my cell phone?
Probably under the mattress.
[tense sting]
[Woo-jae] Ah.
Uh...
[suspenseful sting]
[nervous chuckle]
Honey, you and Hae-yeong, you seem very--
[laughs nervously]
Very what?
-You're both-- -They both...
they really click well, don't they?
Since they've worked together for so long.
No...
It's not just that the two of you click.
-[Hae-yeong gulps] -What you two share is, um--
A brain!
'Cause we're both so like-minded.
It's so hard to meet a co-worker who thinks the same way.
-[nervous chuckle] -It's the best kind of job perk.
[chuckling]
-Yeah! -[both chuckle]
Don't, um, you usually...
usually argue a lot though?
Oh, it's just two colleagues having a bit of fun, that's all.
[both chuckle]
-That's a relief then. -That's right.
Since now you're on the same team.
-[Hae-yeong] Huh? -[Woo-jae and Ji-uk] What?
Ah, instead of moving Ji-uk to another team,
Woo-jae will be on the New Business Team going forward.
Hae-yeong, you'll lead Team One,
and Team Two will be led by Woo-jae.
-What? -[Yi-lin chuckles]
So you're saying...
Ahn Woo-jae will also be a team lead?
TWO-TIMING EX-BOYFRIEND
And that Kim Ji-uk...
FAKE HUSBAND ON WEEKDAYS
...they're both working with me, is that correct?
-Yeah, isn't it wonderful? -[Hae-yeong chuckles awkwardly]
The two of you, like-minded colleagues, working together!
-[Yi-lin chuckles] -[Ji-uk] Hmm...
[Woo-jae] Hmm...
Wow, the best kind of job perk.
[awkward laugh]
Hmm.
EPISODE 7
You're not being transferred as a member of Hae-yeong's team,
but as the leader of Team Two, so you shouldn't let your pride get hurt.
If anything, Hae-yeong should be the one who's concerned,
since now you'll be writing Kim Ji-uk's performance evaluation.
Yi-lin.
This is my career, so why'd you do that without asking first?
Hmm? What's there to ask you?
This is a great opportunity.
It will all be okay. Just do as I say.
[sighs]
I need to stop by the house.
I'll see you at work.
Are you taking the day off?
[Yi-lin] I told you to save it for my grandmother's memorial service!
[sighs]
[groans]
I shouldn't have gotten married.
I regret it.
You regret it?
Getting married to me?
Mm.
[somber music playing]
Even so,
you're now the New Business Development team leader,
thanks to us getting married.
And thanks to that, Ahn Woo-jae also gets to benefit.
[groans] It makes me so mad.
And if we hadn't gotten married,
I would've simply been happy for you when you first got hired there.
I would've congratulated you.
And I wouldn't...
So I wasn't afraid or hesitant at all...
about the way I felt about you.
I wouldn't be so confused either.
Hmm?
Confused about what?
It's nothing, never mind.
Okay, listen.
If you ever want to get divorced,
just let me know.
You'll get a divorce whenever I ask?
If that's what you really wanna do.
We can't divorce now, not yet.
When someone's been given a big project,
the company checks in on what's happening in their personal life.
Whether everything's fine at home, and there's no marital issues.
"The nation's strength comes from the integrity of the home."
[Ji-uk chuckles softly]
Then you focus on the strength of the nation part.
I'll handle the integrity of the home.
[groans] Seriously, my head hurts so much.
Why do people even drink anyway?
[sighs]
[tapping on table]
It can't be helped. Let's go grab a hangover cure.
Why are you such a lightweight?
[server] Here's that beer you ordered, sir.
Ah, let me grab that empty glass for you.
[groans]
Divorce?
[curious music playing]
[door chimes]
You didn't change the code for the front door.
[Ji-uk] That's because... [sighs]
...I'll be moving out soon.
You're going back home then?
I suppose that means you and your wife made up.
Are you going to keep following me?
Look, my job isn't to follow you.
-I was asked by the CEO to-- -I really don't want to know.
You're going to find out eventually, even if you don't want to.
All I've ever wanted to know...
is who my father was,
why he abandoned me and my mom, and why he never bothered to look for me.
[pensive music playing]
Now I know for sure...
that my father never loved me.
Kim Ji-uk, the past is not as important as the present.
What matters is today.
Rather than focusing on who your father is or why he didn't try to find you,
don't you think what he can do for you now...
is what really matters?
Department Manager Jang, was it?
-Yeah. -Please tell him I appreciate the job.
Although that's all I'm willing to accept.
Are you aware that you'll lose out...
if you make that decision?
Oh, really?
So, um...
could I take the car instead then?
My wife really likes it.
-[car horn honking effect] -[comical music playing]
[awkward chuckle]
[Hae-yeong] Hey, Hui-seong.
You said you're going to the studio, right?
Will it take long? I gotta tell you something.
I'm just about to get there.
[Hui-seong] Wait, get where? Where are you right now?
I'm here. Right in front of Tae-hyeong's studio.
-[Hui-seong] What? -[door opens]
Yep, you've got nothing to worry about.
-Oh, it's Tae-hyeong! -[Producer Yun] Bye.
-[Min-ji giggles] -Hey!
Huh? He and some woman--
-Mmm. -[Min-ji] Mmm. I miss you.
They're hugging.
-[Hui-seong] What? -[sighs]
Hui-seong, don't come to the studio. Just go to my house.
[Hui-seong] Hae-yeong! Son Hae-yeong!
Son of a--
[Producer Yun] You'll text me when you get home, right?
Oh, mmm...
Only if you give me a little kiss first.
[both chuckle]
[both] Mmm...
[dramatic music playing]
[screams]
-[yelps, breathes shakily] -[Min-ji gasps]
[Min-ji] Who is this person?
-[splutters] S-Son-- -So...?
-[yelps] -No, no, Min-ji. Let go of my hand.
Let go, Min-ji. It's not what you think!
Are you Min-ji?
Yeah, and you are?
The one you're gonna sue today, hmm?
-What? -Unless you prefer a long, drawn-out
defamation suit, where I win the case with facts,
or we can get right to it, and go with an assault charge?
Hae-yeong, this situation might seem a little unusual
and a bit hard to understand, but to tell you the truth--
Oh, man, this is bad.
You're the last person who needs to find this out.
[Hae-yeong] Hard to understand?
You with her is what I never understood.
And for the record, the real issue here isn't me finding out,
but the fact that you've betrayed Hui-seong!
[Min-ji chuckles]
Hui-seong's your friend, huh?
[soft scoff]
Does Hui-seong know this girl?
You cheated on her with someone she knows?
-Of course not, that's not it at all. -Ah, you don't know, do you?
Then you and Hui-seong must not be very close.
Don't you think this is kind of rude?
It's none of your business anyhow,
-is it? -Min-ji, Min-ji, please!
Me? Not close with Hui-seong?
[scoffs]
You-- She was born a preemie, did you know that?
[Min-ji groans]
She started school at seven because her birthday is early in the year.
And in college, she bombed her entrance exams,
and was still able to get in and graduate in the summer.
Why are you bringing that up now?
To Hui-seong, time is money.
But the money she's saved,
that she's been saving for ten whole years,
has been stolen out from under her, by you!
You! You, Tae-hyeong!
Hae-yeong, please calm down.
Deep breath. [breathes deeply]
Calm down.
Sure, I'll calm down...
[exhales deeply]
...and go with aggravated assault.
Oh, wait! Hae-yeong, wait!
-[Producer Yun shouting] -You two-timing bastard!
[Hui-seong] Hae-yeong! Son Hae-yeong!
Oh!
Why'd you come here? I said go to my house!
Just wait. Just wait, okay?
I was so scared. Why didn't you get here faster?
Has that bastard lost it? Huh?
-[Producer Yun yelps] -Hae-yeong! Wait, Hae-yeong!
Don't stop me.
-Bastard cheaters like him should burn. -[sighs]
-Two-timing jerks should be torn in two. -[Producer Yun] I'm not cheating!
He's not two-timing me!
He's three-timing?
[exhales deeply]
An ending.
[Ja-yeon] Why is this the hardest part?
Come on, think! [sighs]
-I could just kill everyone. -[phone buzzing]
DIRECTOR
[clears throat]
Hey there, Director!
Yes, of course I can talk.
[director] Our famous author, thank you as always for your monthly donation.
Oh, come on, it's nothing.
Um, is there another reason you called?
It's not anything bad,
but the volunteer that you sent here...
WASHING MACHINE
[Ja-yeon] What?
Don't tell me he donated those instead of volunteering?
He didn't say anything like that, but I wanted to ask you, just in case,
is it okay to accept these?
If you need them, then why not?
Although I'm gonna tell him that his donation
has nothing to do with me forgiving him.
-Yeah, it's okay. -[door opens]
Anyway, when's he coming back to volunteer?
[door chimes]
Yeah. Yeah, I'll see you then.
Bye!
Who is that?
[sighs]
Did you take the day off? Are you sick?
Ja-yeon, what's the world coming to these days?
The end is nigh.
Quit your job. Let's blow our savings and travel.
[door chimes]
Hae-yeong, why are you being such a bitch?
Tae-hyeong and I agreed to it.
See those, you know how much I love these heels, right?
I was gonna take those shoes, and beat the shit out of him for you.
And that makes me a bitch?
[Hui-seong] Who asked you to do that?
Those shoes are gorgeous. Why would you ever use them
-to beat up a guy? -[sharp breath]
Big sis! Hui-seong! What's going on with you two?
[frustrated sigh]
[Hae-yeong] Hui-seong's a crazy bitch is what's going on.
You know what she told me?
Tae-hyeong is dating another woman.
[gasps]
Is Min-ji her name?
You know about this too?
No, but... she's writing the audio drama of my novel,
-and I saw her getting into his car. -[sighs]
[whispers] But having an affair?
He's not cheating!
He's isn't and you know it!
Honestly, I'd prefer if he was cheating, that'd be normal.
What does that mean?
[sighs] She and Tae-hyeong...
are doing the polyamory thing.
[Ja-yeon] What's that?
You know, where they have sex with anyone they want.
This is why I didn't tell you. 'Cause I knew you'd say stuff like that.
-You date just for sex? -What does that matter?
At least I'm with one person at a time.
With two people at the same time, I'd--
-[comical music playing] -[sighs]
I'd just sleep. That's it.
Only sleeping.
What about love?
Isn't that a reason to date?
Tae-hyeong and I just acknowledge that we can love multiple people at once.
How can you love two people at once?
-It's not a club, is it? -Have you only ever loved one person?
The freeloader, Battery Park, the two-timer,
you didn't date them 'cause you were in love?
I dated them one at a time in good conscience.
With no overlap.
The way the whole entire world does it.
So you can ignore how you feel, and that's okay with you?
[deep breath]
Tae-hyeong and I think that ignoring how we feel is dishonest,
so would ending things when we both still love each other.
Just be dishonest then!
We only get one life to live, and we don't have much time, really!
[groans] Ja-yeon.
[Hae-yeong sighs]
[cheerful music playing]
[Ja-yeon] Hey! Keep holding hands!
Were you texting your second boyfriend
that time you were on my couch?
Yeah, I was humping your couch while talking to my second boyfriend.
-You're a slut. -You're a prude.
[Hae-yeong sighs]
Hey! I'm adding ten minutes!
If you hate wasting time so much,
why spend time with me at all?
You could find yourself a third boyfriend.
I make time to see you because I love you too, dumbass.
And I'm just saying all this 'cause I'm worried, okay?
[Hae-yeong sighs]
In a world where even the slightest deviation
from the norm becomes a huge issue,
you choose polyamory?
You're not wrong, just different.
What good is it if you and Tae-hyeong are in agreement,
when the rest of the world thinks it's a crime against society?
What the rest of the world thinks?
I don't care about that,
as long as I have you and Ja-yeon.
But I was so scared when you found out earlier...
because I thought I might lose you over it.
So then wh-- why didn't you just act scared then,
instead of shouting at me?
[sobs] Hui-seong.
[tearfully] Hae-yeong.
I'm sorry.
[Ja-yeon laughs] There wo go! Yeah!
EMPLOYEE OF KKULBEE STEALS 48 MILLION WON
WITH FAKE BIRTH REGISTRATION
After I buy a campaign puff piece, this is how Kkulbee ends up in the paper?
[shouts] What are you even doing at work?
The top company people want to work at?
More like the company workers can steal and embezzle from!
Remember what I said?
I told you not to recklessly increase the benefits!
That woman's a criminal.
But our benefits program is completely unrelated--
You don't think one led to the other? Criminals are everywhere.
What did you think?
That not a single employee figured out you can make money without working for it?
-[sighs] -If we treat them nicely,
at first they'll thank us, certainly.
If we continue, you know what happens? They start considering it their right!
You need to make it clear that the benefits they enjoy are a perk,
not their right.
Understood?
This is it, your last chance.
Yes, sir.
Not only did your fake husband get a job with you,
he and your ex-boyfriend both joined your team too?
What are you going to do now?
What can I?
It is what it is.
I'll have to share the credit... [groans, tuts]
...for all my work with Woo-Jae.
Not that. I was talking about how you and Woo-jae dated.
He knows better than anyone
how you act when you're in love and in a relationship with someone!
[comical music playing]
He could figure out that you and your husband aren't really a couple.
Plus, didn't you say his wife was in HR?
[sighs]
[gasps, sighs]
[grunting]
[Hae-yeong grunts]
[grunts, groans]
[sharp exhale]
Hmm.
[upbeat music playing on radio]
[groans softly]
MEDIA/RADIO
[music continues playing in low volume]
[sighs] Traffic's pretty bad today.
[comical music playing]
[exhales sharply, clears throat]
Didn't sleep well?
[yawns]
Oh! [sighs]
My face is so puffy.
Still, tell me how beautiful I am.
What?
"You're still beautiful even when you're yawning
or have a bunch of eye boogers." Go on, tell me.
[nervous chuckle]
-What's up with you? -Say it, come on!
"You're still beautiful."
[sighs]
I gotta keep my eyes on the road.
Why do I need to do that?
Hui-seong thinks that Ahn Woo-Jae...
is gonna figure out that we're not a real couple.
That he's gonna know what I'm like when I'm in love and in a relationship,
since he and I used to actually date for real.
That's right.
And we didn't.
That's why we need to be like newlyweds
24-7, not just when we're at work.
We're gonna be watched all the time,
it needs to feel real, 'cause that's our new norm.
All right then.
Then try telling me, "You're still beautiful."
You've got boogers in your eyes.
And when you yawn, I see your tonsils.
Hey!
Even so, I still like you.
-[soft music playing] -Huh?
I like you.
How was that?
Did it sound real?
Well... it wasn't too bad, I guess.
You just need some more practice.
Practice? Hmph.
[comical music playing]
And now?
Does this feel real?
[clears throat]
KKULBEE EDUCATION
[elevator dings]
[playful music playing]
Does this feel real?
Uh... what are you doing?
Why are you so surprised? This is our new norm.
[playful music swells, fades]
As you already know, I'm Ahn Woo-jae and I'll be Team Two's leader.
The one you hoped would leave stayed and now you get a new boss.
Sorry about that.
[awkward laughter]
[scoffs]
I wanna make sure no one's uncomfortable, so I'll--
Yeah, that's gonna be pretty hard...
unless the two of you get a divorce.
-[gasps] -[scoffs]
-Excuse me, what was that? -[Woo-jae clapping]
What's important
is that we've all come together
to successfully launch this exciting new business venture.
Let's do our best, hmm? [laughs]
Gi-un, you too!
[Asst. Manager Kim laughs awkwardly] Go, team!
[Gi-un] In terms of feng shui, we need a mountain in the back,
and a river in the front, so turn it around.
We need to think of the wall as a mountain and the window a river.
So we can get a good flow.
-[Asst. Manager Kim] How far? -[Gi-un] That's it.
No, no, set it down, guys. You gotta turn it this way
so that it faces the team leader's office.
Ugh, that bastard. Why doesn't he just do it himself?
Now turn it. Keep going. Pivot.
-[Gi-un] Turn it, yeah, this way, okay. -[Asst. Manager Kim] Like this?
[screams]
-[Asst. Manager Lee] Are you okay? -[groaning]
-[Asst. Manager Kim] Do we have ice? -I'm so, so, so sorry.
-Are... Are you okay? -[groans]
[Hae-yeong] What is it? What happened?
[grunts] It's no big deal, Hae-yeong.
I banged my foot on the table.
Oh, really?
Then why don't we take lunch?
-[Woo-jae groans] -[Asst. Manager Lee] Oh, okay.
-[Hae-yeong] Let's go. -But wait!
[Asst. Manager Lee] I could eat now.
[Asst. Manager Kim] See you after lunch then, Manager Ahn.
[Woo-jae] I said I banged my foot! Where are you all going?
[Asst. Manager Kim] Come on, we only get 30 minutes!
[all exclaim]
[all] Whoa!
[Asst. Manager Lee gasps]
What's all this you brought, Ms. Son?
[soft chuckle] Oh, nothing.
The past few days, I've been telling him
that I've had this huge craving for homemade gimbap.
[soft chuckle]
Then he got up first thing this morning...
So that's why you were so tired--
[groans]
My husband Ji-uk can do it all. He made it for me.
[Hae-yeong chuckles]
-Yes, I, uh... got up at dawn. -You told me you're a terrible cook.
[comical music playing]
Cooking isn't about skill, it's about heart.
[scoffs]
[scoffs] You two put in a lot of effort.
-Try some, please. -[Gi-un] Oh, wow!
I'm sure they taste great.
Ji-uk worked so hard to make these for you. Is this okay?
-Of course! -Mmm, oh, they smell amazing.
Right?
[comical music playing]
[cow bellowing effect]
[baby whining effect]
[screeching effect]
[cow bellowing effect]
[baby whining effect]
[animal growling effect]
It's really good, yeah?
[grunting]
Honestly, this is grounds for divorce.
You made that?
[groans]
[Ji-uk gulps, grunts]
I'm sorry, I must've...
added sugar by accident...
-instead of salt. -Hmm?
Mmm!
I think it tastes great.
This is exactly how I like it.
-[groans] -You think this tastes good?
Mm-hmm. 'Cause you made it for me, honey! [chuckles]
-It's great. -Then... why don't you try some more?
[Ji-uk] Here.
-Say ah. -[chuckles]
Have another one. Come on, have another one.
[Ji-uk] Here, open wide.
Come on, say ah.
-[Ji-uk] Ah... -Ah...
-[Ji-uk] Mm-hmm. -Mmm.
-[Hae-yeong] Mmm. -Mmm! Chew good now. Don't choke.
-Wow, this makes cafeteria food look good. -Yeah.
[Asst. Manager Kim] Hmm? Mm-mm.
[employee] I told you a thousand times I didn't know!
It wasn't even that much money.
-[employee scoffs] -[employees murmuring]
What's going on?
Oh? Bok Gi-un, you haven't heard?
-Apparently, the CEO's furious. -Why?
There was an article.
A Kkulbee employee was caught abusing company benefits.
[Asst. Manager Kim] HR's investigating everyone.
If they find just one violation, they're gonna come for you.
Yeah, but if you've been on the straight and narrow,
you have nothing to worry about.
[Ms. Gong groans]
So I get busted 'cause I have no morals?
Were you caught with a violation too?
The resort.
I wanted to stay at the company resort three years ago, but then my kid got sick.
So I sent my aunt and cousin there instead, but apparently,
I'm not allowed to do that since an aunt's not "immediate family".
And now I'm banned from the resort for the next six months.
-Huh? -But how did they find out?
'Cause HR goes undercover.
You didn't know?
HR gets all the company gossip, jokes made by the employees,
and everything you say at the water cooler,
and reports it to the suits.
[brooding music playing]
Hey, Woo-jae.
You better not mention this to your wife.
Uh, of course not. [nervous chuckle]
Anyway, the only two people HR won't find anything on
are these two young men right here.
You haven't received any company benefits, have you now?
-No. -No benefits at all.
Well, isn't it a gray area for Ji-uk?
He got benefits through marriage.
-Hey, those are my benefits, not his! -Yeah?
How dare you try and throw him under the bus?
That's from before he was even hired.
I'm just saying that Ji-uk also indirectly received
some benefits, that's all.
Why are you so mad?
Did you do something wrong?
-[clattering effect] -[scoffs]
[car beeps]
-[breathes deeply] -[car door closes]
[Hae-yeong clears throat]
This is my car.
Only team leaders and above are allowed to park in here.
Whose car is it while it's parked in my parking spot?
[sighs]
It's yours, ma'am.
While we're on the subject,
I need you to move into my house.
For what reason?
You moving in is the only way you'll be mine...
completely.
But as far as everyone's concerned, I'm already yours.
[sighs]
Isn't Ahn Woo-jae acting really strangely?
He kept bringing up our divorce like he was trying to test us.
[grunts] I think he's onto something.
Well, I was planning on moving anyway, so...
Really?
Although, do you actually have a room for me in your house?
Of course.
A penthouse.
[comical music playing]
Pent... house?
Do you know what a penthouse is?
Compared to that tiny place you live in,
this is almost like a penthouse.
Compared to where I live, it's more like--
[pensive comical music playing]
-[music fades] -[Ji-uk sighs]
Well, it's just that people don't only sleep in their homes.
There should at least be a sink and a bathroom.
Of course.
There's a shared bathroom and a kitchen space...
downstairs.
[sighs]
Hold on.
You've never been inside,
how did you know there wasn't a bathroom or a sink?
'Cause usually rooftop units...
if they're up to code, they don't have those things.
Mm.
All it needs is some new wallpaper and linoleum, which I can get.
And then I'll put in a ton of insulation.
This place isn't fit for anyone to live in, is it?
That's not true! Someone lived in there before.
It just needs to be cleaned up.
So why'd you ask me to come here today?
I just said... the place needs to be cleaned.
So you want me to clean and organize it?
There's nothing to organize. You can throw everything away.
I'll get the cleaning tools and supplies.
[soft chuckle]
[sighs]
It's been a while.
[sentimental music playing]
[sighs]
What's this?
[sighs] She was also gonna throw this out?
[hands swiping]
[sentimental music continues]
9 YEARS AGO
[door opens]
Oh, hi there.
You must be Ji-uk, right? Geum-duk's grandson.
-Yes. -[chuckles]
I'm Eun-ok.
Hmm... You can call me "Auntie, Mom,
Eun-ok" or "Mrs. Lee". Whichever you prefer.
Just not "Grandma".
[chuckles]
[door opens]
[Hae-yeong] What are you doing?
[spitting, groans]
[door slams]
[coughs, groans]
Oof!
[grunts] I'm trying to air it out.
[sighs] Why don't we...
just legally register our marriage instead?
Then no one would ever question it.
It's not like I haven't considered doing that,
but although I've already corrupted you,
I don't want to taint your family register.
Last bit of my conscience.
I don't believe it.
-So you do have one. -Hmm.
[scoffs]
[coughs]
-[grunts] -[coughs]
[Ji-uk] A board game?
What's this?
[Hui-seong and Ja-yeon clapping] ♪ Happy birthday, Hae-yeong ♪
♪ Happy 30, dear Hae-yeong ♪
♪ Happy birthday, Hae-yeong ♪
[cheering]
[cheering continues]
[whoops]
Why's the box so big? How much was this?
I handpicked one from every continent just for you.
A music box?
[muffled giggle]
Travel the world in bed! [chuckles]
-[gasps] -[exciting music playing]
-Wait a minute... -[suspenseful music playing]
No, wait! Don't!
[Tarzan hollering effect]
[elephant trumpeting effect]
-This is your idea of... -[comical music playing]
...a world tour?
[soft chuckle]
Say hi to Bruno, Chris,
and what's that one called again?
Aww, are you shy?
Did you just run away from me?
Let me make this clear.
Even though I'm moving into your house, my body's still mine.
And my body and heart... come together as a set.
I won't do any of those things with someone I don't love!
What are you even talking about?
[scoffs] You think I'd do that to you?
[sighs]
I don't fall in love unless we physically gel.
I guess you and I will never end up together,
since we're incompatible.
Hey, why are you taking that with you?
Are you throwing it out?
[grand orchestral music playing]
[choir singing]
[sharp inhale]
[sharp exhale]
[washing machine beeping melodically]
Why are you just standing there, Yeo? The music's already done.
[sighs]
Bok...
Gyu...
Hyun!
President.
[comical music playing]
You know... I don't like your tone.
[sighs]
While I'm the last person who wants the writer
to let you off the hook,
aren't you the one who's supposed to be doing all this giving back?
Why am I the one doing the work for you?
On one... of my precious days off?
This is a precious opportunity for my favorite secretary
to help kids in need,
and that's why you should share your precious day off
with your favorite boss, me.
And while we're here, don't call me "President" or "boss".
Then what should I call you?
-Gyu-hyun? -[hisses]
Mr. Volunteer.
Mr. Volunteer, great, no one will suspect a thing.
Out.
[annoyed sigh]
Huh.
[Ha-jun scoffs]
[deep breath]
[sentimental music playing]
[girl sobbing]
HANBYEOL ORPHANAGE
[girl whimpering]
NAM JA-YEON
[Gyu-hyun] Ms. Yeon!
What are you doing here--
This orphanage and I go way back.
That's not why I, uh--
-[whispers] Why are you here? -To check on you.
Why'd you buy those washing machines?
[sighs]
I wanted to make it easier--
I guess you thought if you spent some money
and just pretended to do the volunteer work,
I'd lower your community service hours, but if you think I'm--
[Ha-jun] Mr. Volunteer, are you there? Where'd you go?
What are you doing?
-Run. -What?
Run!
[Ha-jun] Mr. Volunteer!
[comical music playing]
Huh?
Oh, come on.
[sighs] So much for giving back.
[sighs]
Well, I knew this would happen.
[both panting]
[soft, bright music playing]
[soft, bright music continues]
[inaudible]
[Gyu-hyun] Stop, stop! Stop running!
[both panting]
Why'd you come all the way here? [groans]
You're the one who said to run.
[soft, bright music continues]
[heart beating]
[pants] But why were we running?
Uh...
[twinkling effect]
[birds chirping]
Yeah, you see, I, uh--
-Is someone there? -[pants]
Ha-jun.
What?
What? Huh?
I, uh--
Wait, what did I just say?
I asked, "Is someone there?"
And you said, "Ha-jun" was there.
[comical sting]
Ha-jun... Ha-jun, Ha-jun! Yes!
The name of the male lead from your novel.
Why did you name him Ha-jun?
You... You made us run here just to ask me that?
Yes, you said you'd commit suicide
if your identity as the author of that novel was exposed.
So I was just afraid someone might overhear.
Uh...
Because... well, I like the name... Ha-jun.
Can you tell me why you like it?
[soft chuckle]
'Cause it's the name of the guy I like.
Don't tell anyone.
[sentimental music playing]
[deep breath]
You wanted to know the reason that badly?
No, no, no...
I shouldn't have asked you.
[sighs]
He got eczema after hand-washing clothes only a few times?
Why buy washing machines if you can just buy eczema cream?
What a strange human.
PHARMACY
[game music playing]
Hi, how are you?
[pharmacist] Oh, how can I help you?
Do you happen to carry ointment for eczema?
Let me see...
I'm not buying this 'cause I'm worried about him though.
Even prisons, uh... have infirmaries.
All right. Here.
[Gyu-hyun] Come on, Yeo.
Get the door.
[soft dramatic music playing]
-[car beeps] -[Gyu-hyun sighs]
When your boss tells you to open the door,
it's your job to open the door for him.
You help the boss to his seat, like so,
and bow to him like this! What's the matter with you?
[Ha-jun] Oh, did you see Ms. Yeon?
The orphanage director was asking earlier--
-[Gyu-hyun] Huh? Yeah. -[Ha-jun] Oh.
[Ja-yeon groans]
[Ha-jun] What should we get for dinner?
-There's some kalgulksu near-- -[Gyu-hyun] Secretary Yeo!
Secretary Yeo! What are you craving?
Tell me, it's my treat.
Uh...
-Really? -Yes, of course.
Well, there's this one thing--
[Gyu-hyun] Wait a minute! Where do you think you're going?
I can't let my most favorite secretary go hungry.
-You're going to drive now? [grunts] -Lie down.
[Ha-jun] What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
-I said lie down! -[Ha-jun] Wait, but I can--
[Gyu-hyun] Just take a little nap, all right?
[car door closes]
[exhales deeply]
[sighs]
You're here.
When you left, you made it sound like it would be the last time I'd see you.
When did I say that?
I'm sure I just meant it'll be a while before I see you again.
[man groans]
Today I might be around, but at my age...
tomorrow could be my funeral.
The next little while... could end up being forever.
I'm moving... into the rooftop unit right here.
From now on, you're gonna see me a lot. How's that sound?
Sure, whatever you say.
[man coughs]
-[man] Here. -No, you should drink it.
Just throw it out.
[Ji-uk] Get home safe.
See you later.
[Hae-yeong humming]
[exciting music playing]
-[door lock beeping] -[door chimes, opens]
[door closes, chimes]
Oh. Did he take all the scrap paper?
Yeah. And whenever it's garbage day, I'll take out the rest.
Oh, that's okay. It's my job. I got it.
Then, um, I'll head out.
Looking like that?
Shower and change before you go.
But I have no spare clothes.
I took some out for you. They should fit.
[Hae-yeong humming]
Is this size good?
Why do you have men's clothing at home?
-[comical music playing] -[soft gasp]
Are they your ex's?
[Hae-yeong] Well, it's just us girls living here,
some of these clothes are what we use...
to ward off any potential creeps.
It'd be a waste to buy new ones.
[scoffs]
I'm good, thanks.
What about these? A pair of brand new boxers!
Oh!
[lion roaring effect]
[scoffs]
-[Kitty meowing] -Oh. Kitty?
How come... you didn't let her outside?
She was always just too well-hidden, so...
Really? [gasps]
Kitty! Kitty!
-[Kitty meowing] -[Ji-uk] Come here.
Aww, you heard my voice, didn't you? Oh, my sweet girl.
You were hiding, weren't you, Kitty? Aww!
-[Ji-uk] Where were you, huh? -Wow.
And after I feed you for months.
You, Kitty, it's time to move out. Back to the street.
[Kitty meows]
[whines] Ma'am...
Don't look at me like that, unless you want to join her.
Wait a minute. What was that?
-[Kitty meowing] -[Ji-uk] Yeah, yeah.
She says she's so grateful to you
for opening up your home to her for so long.
-[Kitty meowing] -And what else? Oh.
Mm... She says she'll never forget the kindness you showed her. Hmm.
[comical music playing]

KKULBEE EDUCATION
SPICE UP OUR LOVE
CEO BOK GYU-HYUN
THE WRITER WILL BE GOING ON A HIATUS. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
[sighs]
[pensive music playing]
[deep breath]
MS. YEON, PLEASE CALL ME
Then I'll go ahead and mark you down as attending, all right?
-Yeah. -[soft chuckle]
[Ha-jun] Hmm.
Are you and Team Leader Son going out?
Uh, she invited me to her team dinner slash housewarming party.
Why would she invite you to her housewarming party? That's random.
Oh, my friend,
the children's book author, lives with Hae-yeong.
The two of them are so close, they're practically sisters.
[curious music playing]
-[Gyu-hyun] Well, Yeo... -Hmm?
...do you think I should also go?
[sighs]
The party's on this months' Kkul-Friday,
and you want me to see you again after work?
Kkul-Friday was my idea!
[deep inhale] And I'm grateful for that.
-Where are you going? -Media Relations.
Ah, and here I thought Team Leader Son and I were close.
Lucifer!
[taps desk]
KKULBEE LIBRARY
Mr. President.
Why did you want to... see me?
[Gyu-hyun sighs]
Kim Ji-uk.
What's our relationship?
Relationship?
Are you gonna act like we don't have a history?
How cowardly.
I thought feigning ignorance would be doing the right thing.
There won't be any issues
as long as I stay quiet about it.
[sighs]
Lucifer,
after everything we've been through...
laundry, me carrying you on my back, it's like...
I'm your big brother.
[comical music playing]
-Big... brother? -Mm-hmm.
[Gyu-hyun] Exactly.
Ah!
I heard you were having a housewarming party.
I'm very curious to know more, huh?
To be honest with you,
I've never actually been to a housewarming
-and I-- -Oh, the housewarming! [gasps]
Oh, God, uh, I forgot to order the food.
If you're done talking, I have to get back.
Lu-Lucifer.
Lu--
I'm your big bro!
[Gyu-hyun] Right?
[resolute music playing]
[bones cracking]
[clattering effect]
[both huffing]
[Hae-yeong] Hui-seong, Ja-yeon, help me.
Today's the day. The perfect time for a housewarming.
[both grunt, laugh]
[Hae-yeong] Don't you think it would seem more legit
if Ji-uk and I pretended to open our home to people at work
all of a sudden, like we had no choice?
[grunts]
[Hae-yeong] Our whole team, my boss, and Yi-lin will be coming.
Ah, and Ha-jun too.
What's there to suspect if the president's secretary is there?
[Hui-seong] All done.
[scoffs] What's with the frowny face?
Ha-jun's coming, your high school crush!
You don't want Ha-jun to come, do you?
Is it weird for him to be here
since he still doesn't know you're Bo-ra... Yeon?
-I can call Hae-yeong and ask her-- -Ah... No, no!
Hae-yeong will feel better if Ha-jun comes too,
and that way, no one will suspect a thing.
[gentle music playing]
Ja-yeon...
The three of us are always close as family.
Hmm... but we're like her sisters,
we're not her parents.
You're not Hae-yeong's mother or father.
You don't always have to take care of her, all right?
[soft chuckle] I know.
But today, I promise it's okay.
-Hmm? -Hmm.
[upbeat music playing]
-[Ms. Gong gasps] -[Ji-uk] Welcome.
[all exclaim]
-[Ms. Gong] Girl, what a gorgeous home! -[Yi-lin] How lovely!
This is the house I was born in. It's pretty old at this point.
A house with memories is better than a house that costs a billion won.
-I'd rather have the billion won. -[door opens]
[all chuckle]
Hello, everyone.
Ah, this is my friend on the second floor.
She went to school with Ha-jun.
[all exclaim]
[soft chuckle]
[all exclaiming in awe]
[Ms. Gong whoops] Look at this!
What an incredible spread you've prepared for us all.
[chuckles]
Hold on. Ji-uk, did you make all this?
We catered. From a local place.
-Oh! Fantastic idea! -[Gi-un] Oh!
Yeah, best to leave it to the pros.
-[Asst. Manager Kim] Thanks for the food! -[Gi-un] Thanks for the food!
-[Hae-yeong] Please, dig in! [chuckles] -[Asst. Manager Lee] Thanks for the food!
I don't see any new furniture. It all looks the same.
[comical music playing]
[dramatic sting]
-Pookie, how do you know that? -Uh...
Uh, it's just that, uh...
Mister...
Uh, I mean, my brother-in-law...
just moved.
He hasn't had a chance to buy new furniture yet.
[Ja-yeon chuckles nervously]
[all chuckle] Ah!
That's why it looks the same, huh?
Uh-huh.
-[Asst. Manager Lee] I see. -[Woo-jae] Yeah, right.
See, this is why I told you
I needed time to get furniture before the wedding.
You'd still be single if I hadn't married you, so be nice, okay?
[laughter]
That's not true. Ji-uk was quite popular.
-Huh? I was? -[Gi-un] You didn't know?
The 23rd cohort did a popularity poll, and you came in first.
[all exclaiming]
Why? 'Cause he's good-looking?
Uh, no, no one knew back then how good-looking he was
since he always covered up.
But the thing about Ji-uk is that he's just so damn nice.
[Gi-un] When he was assigned to a group project,
he did all the research, made the pitch deck,
and even presented too.
And he's pretty good at French and Chinese as well.
And he'd carry all the bags for the girls.
[comical music playing]
Oh, wait! I got a good story.
Our cohort was hiking this mountain one day,
and one of the girls on our team tripped on a rock and twisted her ankle.
And then Ji-uk lifts her, puts her on his back,
and carried her
all the way down the mountain from the peak--
Uh... Oh, I see. [chuckles]
[Hae-yeong] My husband did that, huh?
Ah, it wasn't all the way from the peak.
Even I thought it was amazing, and I'm a guy.
I'm sure the women were way more impressed, wouldn't you say?
[soft chuckle] No, Gi-un, no, no, they weren't.
You were the only one who was impressed.
-No one else. -[Gi-un] No, they really were.
The day it came out that you were married,
all the female members of our cohort got together and got totally wasted!
They couldn't understand how an older woman managed
to bag such a tall, good-looking-- [gasps]
[loud crunching]
I mean, uh--
[gasps] Hey, girl!
[Ms. Gong] Early bird gets the worm,
and all she needs is her name on that wedding certificate.
Son Hae-yeong, that means you win!
[all] You win!
[Asst. Manager Kim] To the happy couple. Cheers!
[Ms. Gong] Woo-hoo!
[party music playing]
[elephant trumpeting effect]
[seal barking effect]
[music stops]
[machine door closes]
[machine beeps]
Fold up the table and--
[vacuum cleaner whirring]
[sighs]
No wonder you're so popular.
Huh?
[whirring stops]
What'd you just say?
I didn't even consider that.
I'm sorry.
[soft chuckle]
Compared to cleaning that rooftop unit, this is a piece of cake.
[Hae-yeong] No, not that.
I'm sorry you're spending your first days at the company this way.
You only get to be a newbie once, you know.
What are you talking about?
You should be having fun with your colleagues,
flirting with some of them...
and even find someone to actually date.
But because of me, you can't do any of that.
Because you have to pretend you're my husband.
So you'd like... that I flirt and date a girl?
Someone I can have a real relationship with?
Mm-hmm.
You really mean that?
Mm-hmm.
Honestly...
like I could even do that right now.
But if that's what you want, ma'am.
[soft music playing]
[music fades]
[keys jangling]
[Ji-uk] I told you before...
my body and my heart come as a set.
And right now...
my body is right where my heart is.
[pensive music playing]
[Kitty meowing]
I'll head upstairs.
[keys jangling]
[sighs]
[door opens]
[pensive music continues]
[Hui-seong] So you can just ignore how you feel?
[Ji-uk] So you'd like... that I flirt and date a girl?
Someone I can have a real relationship with?
[Hui-seong] Ignoring how we feel would be dishonest.
We only get one life to live, and we don't have much time, really!
[heavy exhale]
[footsteps approaching]
[door closes]
Ma'am?
[deep exhale]
[soft romantic music playing]
EPILOGUE
Go sleep on the sofa.
[Ji-uk] Ah...
[Ji-uk groans]
[jewelry clattering]
[mellow music playing]
Let me do it.
[Ji-uk] Here you go.
Thanks.
Let's keep wearing our rings.
Don't take it off.
Ji-uk, this is...
I come first, and you're on my side...
whenever we're wearing these rings.
Is that why you bought yours?
You wanted me to be on your side?
You're...
really cute.
[chuckles]
[closing theme music playing]
[Hui-seong] Yesterday, did something happen between you two?
Let's just keep this between me and you, sir.
[Ji-uk] She's like a racehorse with blinders on looking forward.
It's like she barely heard my confession.
[Ja-yeon] We have to run.
I hope that we never see each other again.
I don't want to make any more memories with you anywhere else.
[Mr. Jang] Ms. Seon Jeong-a knows your real identity, Mr. Kim Ji-uk.
[Hae-yeong] I'm not the one who's confusing things.
[Ji-uk] I'm not... confused at all.
I'll wait for you, and you won't even know it.
