Yikes, that scared me.
What is it?
Ugh, damn it.
What the heck? Huh?
Ugh… drink this.
Don't drink too fast.
Ugh.
Ms. Ahn!
Why am I with garbage?
Because you're garbage, I guess.
Ugh.
Why do my clothes smell like vomit?
Did I throw up?
Uh, that's what I want to ask.
What kind of a comedy show is it to get wasted from one drink?
I don’t remember that, Ms. Ahn.
What?
By the way, Ms. Ahn, when I wake up from sleep,
I get serious shoulder cramps.
But my neck feels light after sleeping with garbage as pillow.
Is this science?
What kind of nonsense is that?
Ah, right. Is it okay for us to all sleep in the living room today?
Oh, it's okay. Men can
sleep on the road, too, and…
- Who is it? - We can sleep anywhere.
Huh? Ah, there's garbage everywhere.
It must be Producer Toes.
Hey! Tell the landord to change this to tempered glass.
How can a window be smashed by a single rock?
That is tempered glass.
Yeah, with three layers.
Oh, really?
He's nice.
I don't understand how Ji-goo came running here in 30 seconds
and how a rock smashed through a three-layered window last night,
but I think I do know one thing.
That there are more things in the world that the brain
can't understand, than those the brain can understand.
And so, because of that, heaven is on our side at times.
Mmm, it’s delicious.
It's nice and cold.
Chicken feet.
Did you just talk down to me?
Here's your green onion pancake, too!
- Wow! - Wow, green onion pancake!
And, you get cola on the house!
- Wow! - Wow!
Thank you.
Where's our alcohol?
Yes, I'm coming, with both beer and soju.
- Oh, thank you. - Here you go.
- Bottle opener. - Bottle opener.
- Please enjoy. - Okay, thank you.
This clam soup is for that table.
Okay, I'm coming!
Now, are your glasses filled?
- Yes! - Yes!
All of you, you worked so hard
this month, too.
- D! - Drinking and!
- G! - Getting drunk is!
- B! - The Best!
- W! - With this moment!
- L! - Of Love!
- B! - Bottoms-up, for everyone!
Hey, Ms. Han.
You'll be in trouble if you do that next to Department Head!
Drink it now.
- Now, drink, and drink! - We had those days, too.
Please enjoy.
Nutritionist Han, we're out of japchae, what should we do?
Don't worry!
My dearest customer.
We're out of japchae today,
but when you come tomorrow, I'll give you one free tteokgalbi.
Then please sign this for me.
Oh, my signature is long. Is you sure that's okay?
Ah, yes. I like you very much…
I mean, I like ketchup very much.
Very much thank you! Next!
- Cheers! - Cheers!
My goodness, the men line up
and drool over Nutritionist Han, not at the food!
Ugh, how vulgar!
Oh.
It actually sounds rude, after I say it.
Rude? No. I love it when people drool over me!
Now, because of that, I feel totally awesome today,
so it's on me today!
Ugh, we have company credit card, too.
You don't have to do that, Nutritionist Han.
Oh, but I feel totally great.
I treat people when I feel great.
Now, then, since I'm a nutritionist,
I will make soju and beer cocktail, in a nutritious way!
Come on, come on! Glasses, come on!
Now…
I don't work at a bar!
I work at a cafeteria!
I'm just a girl who loves alcohol a little too much!
Alright!
Watch.
Here.
Go ahead.
Shake it, shake it!
Come here, everyone!
Cheers!
Ji-yeon is pretty and nice,
so she was the flower at the get-togethers.
No water added!
Of course, not all get-togethers are like this, but…
Well done.
Now, Ms. Kang, you're the youngest and the newest, so…
Mmm, and garlic, too.
How can you toast without me?
I know, right?
Let's do it one more time.
Yeah.
Oh, it's nice and refreshing! Oh!
- Ugh! - So good!
Ugh, the smoke!
It's burning!
- Hey, who put this on the grill? Huh? - Not me.
Ugh, this…
Ms. Kang, did you do this?
Yes.
Are you crazy?
How could you put this on the grill?
Ms. Kang, haven't you grilled meat before?
No, I haven't.
This is baffling. Just baffling.
Give me that! Now!
Ugh, good grief.
Ms. Kang, we're looking forward to working with you. Thank you.
Cheers!
I have an urgent matter, so…
Restroom?
Go ahead, yes.
By the way, why isn't Ms. Kang coming back?
The Principal is waiting.
Uh, didn't she say she's going to the restroom?
Ji-goo left the barbecue place and went to the bathroom at her house,
and after that, she was exempt from get-togethers forever.
As for people like me, who are neither
pretty like Ji-yeon, nor bold like Ji-goo…
- Ah, wait. - Most people like me have
ordinary work lives.
Chasing after the bus is the only exercise I get in a day,
but it always fails.
If you really think this company is yours,
then you take another look, even when others stop you.
That's what a sense of ownership is.
It will change the domains of bookstores in Korea!
Now, last but not least…
Now, let's hear something different this time.
If we think that we own this company and…
We can't be owners if we don't have shares!
I'm so frustrated.
Of course, we don't have shares, but…
If we work with the minds of the executives, then…
Okay!
Then pay us as much as the executives get paid!
Dismissed! The end!
Like the young people say, the quality of life improves…
Only the voices inside my mind pile up.
The meeting is over!
Let's go, Assistant Manager Ahn.
Please enjoy.
This geezer Department Head only eats ox blood soup
for lunch every day, and only with me.
I think I know why it always has to be ox blood soup,
but I just don't know why…
ugh, why it has to be me.
Ugh, why is it always me?
Huh? You don't even talk to me, not even a little bit!
But why does it have to be me all the time!
Am I that much of a pushover to you?
I, too, want to eat cheese pork cutlet at the new pork cutlet place!
You damn old geezer Department Head!
I know I can't say it, anyway, so what's the point of thinking…
I just shut up and eat.
Yes.
Social life means, even the voices inside my mind become meaningless.
So-hee, send me $20. I love you.
The only meaningful being in my life at that time
was my boyfriend, whom I dated for three years.
My birthday was coming up,
and I booked the VIP seats for a musical, which cost $170,
made meticulous plans from a month prior.
I put in everything I've got, so I wouldn't have to
work late.
Ma'am.
I finished all of these.
Really? All of these?
Yes, I checked them twice,
and nothing's wrong.
Then I must be on my way now.
You checked them twice? Ha…
So-hee, you really are amazing.
Wow, this is like…
this is like superpower.
Wait a minute, then…
Do this before you go, too.
That was when I realized
that if I do work fast, I get out of work late.
Bye, So-hee.
Goodbye.
Oh, oppa.
I don't think I can go because of work.
You go see it alone. It's really expensive.
You can just stretch out your legs and enjoy it!
Seaweed soup?
I appreciate it.
Yeah.
On that day, my boyfriend saw the musical without me,
with another girlfriend.
So-hee, I'm sorry.
I've been telling him we should tell you, but…
Why did it have to be today?
Shouldn't you have avoided today?
I did not want to leave a flaw called cowardliness for your birth.
Peace.
You should've gotten different rings, then.
Then I have to get a brand new one, so…
What?
Then you should've just asked me to give you this!
Her fingers are thinner than yours.
You see, I have thick fingers, but I have slim knuckles.
By the way, the seat I sat at the show was chosen for an event.
And that was an AUV car I really wanted…
You mean SUV.
You're right. But it requires the purchaser's ID to get it.
Peace.
So?
You don’t need a car.
But she lives in Pocheon, so…
But I'm from Jeolla-do.
You can take the KTX, but she can't.
And you're not that kind of a person.
I always liked you more because you're so pure and righteous.
Pure and righteous?
Then why should you guys, who are unpure and wrongful, have the car?
I…
I don't like it when a woman quibbles over everything. Peace.
Can't you just give us your ID?
Forget it, then. You keep it.
Peace!
Hey!
Have your eyes always been like that?
Uh, no, they're a bit swollen.
You used the computer too much at night.
Just wait. Our company will be implementing a 9-6 work day,
so you will have a life with free evenings soon.
Yes.
When I had a boyfriend, I worked late, and
now that I don't have a boyfriend, I don't have to work late.
Uh, can I just work, please?
I think I should work and be successful, at least.
You're more ambitious than you look.
Then…
Shall I leave CEO Park's autobiography to you?
It's a big project, because he'll enter politics next year.
I will do it!
We weren't so bad until that time.
We even looked awesome despite being rookies in society.
But life gets turned upside down inevitably and simultaneously,
like it was waiting for it.
Good morning.
Who is this?
He's the CEO. He said he wants to eat at the cafeteria today.
Oh, I see.
You look about two years younger in real life than in pictures.
Then, since the CEO is here, give him one more sausage, please!
The salad is self-serve. Next!
Sir, I'll get the salad.
No need to. She said it's self-serve.
I'll get it.
Thank you!
Three or four each will be good enough.
- Okay. - A lot. A lot.
Please enjoy.
- Thank you. - Sure!
The CEO's stomach isn't well,
so he's decided to eat lunch at the company for a while,
and you have been scouted as his personal nutritionist.
Please start coming to work to the 23rd floor, starting tomorrow,
and only focus on the CEO's diet.
Oh, I can't.
Ah, because so many male customers come here to see me, and…
- Hey. - Wait.
Go on.
Ah, I can't lose all those men just to save you, CEO,
so if you come down and eat here every day, like today,
you can exercise, you won't be lonely,
and the customers can see me every day, so it's great.
Oh, I am really smart today!
Ah, but I will come up with a special diet for you,
with a special menu that is good for your stomach.
You just need to pay $3 more.
Look here, that's not what he's talking about!
How can you be so slow…
Okay, okay, okay.
I will do that. $3.
I will start bringing $3, starting tomorrow.
Thank you!
Oh, hi, CEO!
You should be healthy, so…
And so, the CEO became one of the men
who came every day to see Ji-yeon.
Please enjoy.
Of course, he soon wanted more than the special menu.
Oh! Have a seat.
Oh, why?
Does the food taste bad?
Our food isn't really delicious or anything, but…
Uh, did you always want to be a nutritionist?
Ah, I became one because I majored in food and nutrition,
and it's actually fun.
But I get numbers confused when placing orders for food.
I had to order 100 chickens,
but I ordered 1,000 chickens,
so we only served chicken drumsticks for a week.
1,000 chickens!
I think you should wear something prettier
for that pretty face.
Oh, really?
See me at The May Hotel after work today.
Oh! You mean the May next to Namsan Mountain?
That's a totally fancy place!
I went there once to skate,
and it was a lot of fun!
But it's so boring for me these days, you know.
Bring me an idea so I can
have a lot of fun.
Ah, yes, I understood!
There's no way my friend would've understood it.
Hey, Ji-yeon.
I was in charge of recreation at school.
By the way, why do you need it?
I'll call you later.
Hi, Team Leader.
Did you work overnight?
No, I came early in the morning.
Because today is the first interview.
So-hee, you're actually a bit scary.
Are you trying to work hard
and take my place?
Oh, no.
Good luck. Right,
I was going to give that to Assistant Manager Jung,
but you intercepted it. You know that, right?
Ah, but the Department Head told me to…
I know, right?
You eat lunch with the Department Head every day,
so you should get that, at least.
But you know, you always eat the lunch he buys you,
so you must still have your meal tickets. Give them to me.
So I can treat my friends when they come visit.
They're all mothers with kids,
so wow, they're all cheapskates.
Okay.
So-hee, make me a cup of coffee.
And clean up this mess under our feet, too.
It's so great to have you here early.
Hey, are you nuts? Why would you go there?
Oh, Ji-goo, I'll call you back in a bit.
Hey, hey! Hey!
Damn it.
- Hello. - Hi.
Huh?
Hello.
It's Ms. Kang, Ms. Kang, Ms. Kang.
Give me that.
Huh?
Give me that.
Let me borrow it.
Huh?
It's the last piece. Thanks.
I'll pay you back when you become adults.
Ji-goo was a goddess to high school girls.
Her fan club followed her everywhere…
- She's so damn awesome! Wow, man! - And one of them was
even more extraordinary.
Awesome? Shut up.
Did you sleep with that oppa?
- I don't know. - Tell me!
- You crazy wench! - I said, I don't know!
So you did sleep with him.
You should stop buying things.
How can you buy things every day?
Ha… stop giving me these. I only accept alcohol.
- Come on, Ms. Kang. - Ms. Kang.
But we can't buy alcohol!
So don't do this.
Okay, today's announcement is…
What happened to your face?
Did you get beaten up?
I beat her up.
Why did you beat her up?
Because she was being a total jerk.
You, if you're hurt, go see the nurse.
Okay, today's announcement. The final exam dates are up,
so check the notice.
Only one person will be ranked no. 1.
Don't risk your life for something impossible.
Dismissed!
This way.
Yes.
Oh, you're from the publishing company.
I've been waiting for this day to come.
Have a seat, please.
You know,
I was born in a very dark night,
and in that moment, the moon turned into the sun,
and the world was as bright as day at midnight.
The people who witnessed it said
that a ray of light hit the sky,
and the baby's cry was not like the sound of a human.
That's what it says.
If it was not like a human, then what?
A god.
A god?
Gods always acoompany light. Beautiful and dramatic.
Fantastic and mysteric.
Like how Jesus was born of Virgin Mary.
Like how the Buddha was born through Queen Maya's sides.
Light pierced the darkness, and went, pow!
- Pow! - Pow!
Shh!
This extraordinary child
learned all of the logic of the world
when he was only five months old,
and said this.
"The world is infinitely empty."
"My light will give you salvation,
so all of you, look into my eyes."
"If you do,
you will all get healthy…" And the music should play here.
But this is a book.
And the "empty" the CEO mentioned
is not something material.
It's spiritual, like how the Buddha says it.
Ha… thank you.
Don't you need to write it down?
Ah! It's just a pre-interview today.
I'm recording it now,
so I'll give you the file on a USB drive on your way.
They are professionals. I'm sure they know what to do.
Yes, I'm professional.
Uh, but, CEO…
Is there anything realistic to tell, by any chance?
Realistic?
Or anything more humanitarian…
That's a good point.
"A path of life as a human of Park Yeong-gyu, the human."
That's our CEO's election slogan.
Please use the word "human" as much as possible.
Aren't you too indifferent for a homeroom teacher?
I don’t like reptiles.
I can't even put this in a alcohol…
What the heck? You knew it was me?
Don't talk down to me.
So don't nitpick at me for being indifferent.
You guys have one homeroom teacher, but I have more than 30 students.
I'm busy enough memorizing names, you know.
By the way, why aren't you in your first period class?
When I said I'm going to see my homeroom teacher,
the math teacher let me go.
Hey, I have a schedule, too.
Make an appointment, at least.
I knew that you don't have class now, so I came.
Then come back after lunch.
No, thank you.
You had the library rooftop key?
Can you please let me borrow it?
So I can kill myself?
Someone who's really suicidal doesn't say they'll kill themselves.
How did you know?
Sit. But you only have five minutes.
Okay.
Aren't you curious? This is bad enough to be bullying.
Shouldn't you at least ask me why I beat her up?
I'm sure she's keeping quiet
because she did something to deserve that.
Oh!
She called me a slut, so I beat her up.
You did a good job.
Slut?
Good grief…
But I really am a slut.
I sleep with oppas every day.
Those stupid losers envy me,
but they call me a slut behind my back.
It's no use even if you tell me to bring my parents.
They know that I'm a slut, too.
Are you on birth control?
Ugh! Ugh!
Are you okay?
Ah, yes, I am okay.
Uh, where did I leave my textbook?
I learned that I must be on strict birth control
in my sex ed class,
so I'm trying my best to be very careful, Ms. Kang.
You are doing great, just as you learned.
- That's very good. - Uh, then…
Keep going with your counseling.
I should get going. Bye.
Buy me a drink, Ms. Kang.
That's enough, okay?
Come on! Buy me a drink!
I promise I won't say anything.
No, I have an appointment today.
- Then tomorrow. - Tomorrow, too.
Then, it's okay even if you're late today…
Can't you just learn how to drink from your parents?
No, I want to learn it from you.
Go on. It's been five minutes.
What are you doing? Where are you? Are you out of work?
What would've I done if I didn't have you?
Oh! Who? Me?
No.
This one.
Se-jin, it's me your dad. Are you out of school?
Is the call connected?
It is, but…
Se-jin.
Say it!
Oh, oh, okay.
It's your birthday today,
but I just got called into an urgent meeting.
So I don't think I can eat with you today. What should we do?
Just do as you always do.
I think that's how kids talk these days.
Se-jin, what are you doing now?
I'm hanging out with oppas at the gas station.
Ah, okay, then don't go home too late.
I love you, my daughter.
Did she hang up?
Go stop by at a flower shop on the way.
Is it for your daughter?
Buy the flowers Han Ji-yeon likes.
Sir, the call is still going…
Se-jin.
It's hung up now.
Call me, even if you're late, please.
Oh, CEO!
CEO!
Nice!
Hey!
CEO! Did you know that they have a pool here?
It's so great, so we were having fun of our own.
Ah, they're my friends.
I called them so they can have fun with you.
She was in charge of entertainment when she was in school
and she knows all kinds of games!
We can't play them all even if we stay up all night long!
You are…
CEO Park, why are you here…
Oh! Do you two know each other?
Yeah, because of work…
Awesome! I was worried that because our age gap is big,
it might be embarrassing to play together,
but it must be fate!
How can you do this…
Why?
Is it because this is not what you had in your mind?
Hey.
CEO! Let's have fun! Let's have fun!
- Ji-yeon, I don't think that's - Let's have fun!
- what it is, Ji-yeon… - Let's have fun!
- Oh, no... - Don't you love this?
- Don't you love this? I do! - Why!
I love this!
CEO! CEO! This is awesome!
Damn it.
This is so much fun!
I said, stop it!
Stop it!
Hey!
Stop it!
Stop it! I said, stop it!
We've been climbing and climbing every day.
But I got a sad feeling
that this place may be the highest place
we can get in our lives.
Has the night view of Seoul always been this pretty?
The future of you and I are like this elevator.
Why? The CEO said he'll make me a professional manager.
Do you think that's still valid?
Why? Because I pushed him into the water?
Is he super pissed off?
He was pissed off before you pushed him into the water.
Hey! Don't you know?
Don't you know why the CEO told you to come here?
That's pissing me off.
I know that the CEO has dirty desires for me.
But I have more than one or two men who have that.
Huh? And he said he's bored these days,
so I thought that he should have fun with you girls.
It turns out that you're not slow, but you're actually reckless.
Of course! I'm really keen.
So-hee, isn't your head itchy?
What the heck? How did you know?
I heard you didn't wash your hair for two days.
Ji-goo, you're keeping in touch
with someone these days, right?
What are you saying?
You got a text.
I'll be at Hanbit Park.
Now, let's see.
Now, think of it as beer, and drink it.
And think of it as soju, and drink it.
Huh? Hey, it might be good to mix these two, too.
Want me to mix it for you?
No one will say anything even if I drink real alcohol.
- Ms. Kang. - Huh?
Do you know why my parents transferred me to this school?
You may be shocked, but…
If you talk about being a slut or whatever again, I won't let it go.
I hate words like that.
"Slut" is a bad word with bad meanings,
so it should not be used to talk about a person so easily, okay?
Why are you laughing?
It's better to be a slut
than to live like that.
"Live like that?"
Take a guess, Ms. Kang.
What do you think it is?
Ah, well, it must be something bad.
It's not something bad.
I hate 20 Questions.
If you're going to reveal it, you reveal it yourself.
Then…
are you confident enough not to be flustered by it?
Why the long face?
Is something wrong?
So-hee feels bad, so I feel bad, too.
Because we're both doomed.
So-hee, I'm not doomed.
You're doomed more.
I'm totally fine.
You shouldn't be totally fine!
Damn it.
Uh, sir, what is this?
Boiled lamb.
They said Genghis Khan always ate this
before he went to battle.
Oh, really?
Then will a war break out if we eat this?
Ah, then…
we would need Tsingtao beer.
Tsingtao?
- Now, let's drink! - Let's drink!
Genghis Khan's boiled lamb.
But when we ate this,
something burning started to surge
from the deep down in our hearts,
and amazingly enough, our sadness turned into a fighting spirit,
and we had become
fearsome warriors.
- Let's go! - Let's win!
"Let's fight" comes before that.
Okay!
- Let's fight! - Let's fight!
Why did we have to eat boiled lamb on that day?
If we didn't eat it on that day,
would our futures have changed?
Then…
are you confident enough not to be flustered by it?
What's with you?
Do you think it's more embarrassing than being a slut, too?
