Episode 1
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your youth. You can't enjoy when it passes by...
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy your youth... for the bright future ahead of you.
I may look penniless now.... but I have a big dream.
No one knows about it yet, but soon I will be soaring.
Oh! My life... Wait just a little longer.
Oh! Now is the beginning. Of the world of my own.
What the...? Stop thief!
Stop thief! Stop thief!
Dar...Hey!
Can't you stop chasing after me? Hey, are you a cop?
No. Just give me the bag.
You're not? Then you're not gonna call the police?
No. I'm not. Just give the bag.
You sure?
Shoot!
Gosh...what am I doing now?
The key points in this project are the exact measure of
and an appropriate approach to our target VVIP.
The VVIP marketing is a very popular in the high-end businesses.
For example designer labels provide customized products
for the uppermost a few among VVIP customers.
I guarantee you won't regret your choice.
I really like it.
Do you? Then why don't you come again with your husband?
I will. Please call me before you come.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
Can you walk her to the parking lot? Sure. Please come with me.
Thank you, ma'am. Good bye. Thank you. Good bye.
It's pretty busy today, huh?
Mr. Jaewon Jung!
What do you think you're doing now?
I'm asking what you think you're doing.
Why did you come back this late with your test-drive?
I'm sorry.
Don't you have anything more to say?
I'm really sorry.
Jaewon, what's your problem?
You meddled in other people's affairs again, didn't you?
Although you are my senior alumnus, I can't let it pass every time.
You better be careful!
I am really really sorry.
Excuse me for one second.
Good morning! How can I help you?
Mr. Jung!
We got a customer...
I'll take care of her. Can you go get the car you test-drove?
How are you, ma'am?
That brat! She's far younger than I.
Yet she works off on me just because she's my boss?
Wasn't she under my thumb in school days? Brat!
Gosh! Should I swallow it? I should. Yes, I should...
You feel out of sorts today?
No, I don't. I'm sorry, Mr. Yi.
Don't be. That's normal.
Not an easy job, huh?
I, uh....I'm ok. There's no easy job in the world.
That's true.
Cheer up. Please keep on doing a good job.
Somebody was born with a silver spoon in his mouth...darn...
Even his back looks showy.
When do you think you can finish? Well, I think it'll take some time.
Really? I can start after you finish.
I know but I need a little more time. Sorry.
It's okay. Then let me go take a nap at the spa around the corner.
You can take a nap while I'm wrapping up your work.
If you can be done early, come join me there.
Ok. Go ahead and take some rest. Let's have a late-night date tonight.
Okie dokie! What about me?
Huh? Why did you come back?
Finish it quickly and come to the spa.
Otherwise, Suksoon and I will eat all these up.
Okay!
Come on, let's shout our slogan. Adja!
Adja!
Slow down, Jaewon. Slow down.
Look, what's the big deal being the president?
He's acting like such a snob...Darn!
Oh brother...
Just stop drinking. Please?
I was...you know, in my family...
Since I was little, I've been treated...you know...
I know, I know! I know you've been treated like a prince...
No, you don't know. You don't know!
I was like... Only my father and I sit at...
The rest of my family couldn't even sit at dinner table with us.
When egg was served, only my father and I could eat it.
The yolk. Sure.
If there was toasted seaweed, only one sheet of toasted seaweed, then!
My father and I used to tear it into two and eat it, ok?
I...I am that well-cared for son!
I can do a CEO job, although I don't have any employee now.
But then, he put on airs and asked, "Not an easy job, huh?"
Of course it's not an easy job. But he shouldn't have acted like that.
I, I can do what he does.
He thinks he is....
Boom! I knew it. I knew the bill would be on me again.
Gosh, you're really good for nothing!
Move your head. You'll get red pepper paste on you. Move!
Walk straight. One two one two. Straight!
Look, if he is really...
If he's really anything of an owner, then!
Okay. You know...
Yeah I know.
What time is it now?
I don't know.
Huh? I'm late. I'm late.
Walk straight. Straight.... I said I'm late!
Don't be late tomorrow! We have a meeting in the morning.
Oh, it feels good.
My body wanted it.
Feels so good. I feel refreshed!
How about getting in the sauna a litter later and work up a sweat?
Remember we didn't even come close to the sauna cuz it's too stuffy?
I do. We were in our 20's in those days.
With all our youth energy,
we might have been heated to death had we entered in a sauna.
I know. We were hot in those days.
You are like old ladies.
You'll know when you get as old as we are.
Hey, are we 32 or 33?
I stopped counting after I turned to 30.
We're certainly not 34, right?
Why?
You always said your dream was to become a good wife and wise mother.
How come you remain as a single till you hit near 34 and lie here next to me?
A good wife and wise mother? What is that supposed to mean?
You don't mean a woman like Shinsaimdang, do you?
Bingo!
Uhhh... don't even bring up those words.
Now I am just a 1AB good wife and wise mother.
What?
Hey, that makes sense. 1AB wife and mother.
But now, I am not sure if I can make even a ramen for other people.
I'm old enough with my aching and tired body.
Oh come on.
Oh, if my husband wants a ramen....
Forget ramen!
I can butcher a cow myself and will prepare Galbi for him.
Feels good.
This is yummy.
Have some, my little princess.
Grab it and drink.
There you go. Chew it well. Good girl.
You know what time it is?
Mom. I'm sorry.
You smell like a bar.
I had an occasion to entertain business partners.
You have an occasion every day.
I know.
Mom, do I put this in the fridge?
Wow, why so many greens?
Are you going to make kimchi tomorrow?
I can't understand your father at all.
He got drunk and fell asleep from early in the evening,
and even when your grandma came out to help serving, he didn't show up.
Didn't he stop drinking for a while?
Why doesn't my doctor call me when it's getting so late?
He said he would come home today....
Mom....
Do we have any leftover ox bone soup?
Why should we have any leftovers at this hour?
That's right....
How can there be any leftovers with your delicious soup, huh?
I just wanted some sort of soup to relieve hangovers...
Well, I'll get a ramen for myself.
Dr. Jung? Where are you?
Oh...Did you have dinner?
How come you didn't eat yet?
Ok. I'm going home now. I'll make your favorite seafood stew,
..so come home safely. Ok, bye.
Come home after cleaning up the store.
Ok, don't worry.
Let's see, I have some blue crabs and...do I have a squid?
Why does it need that endless study to become a doctor?
Help yourself.
Why did you prepare this hearty food at this hour? I am okay with a ramen.
Ramen?
You can't gain energy to keep on studying and seeing patients from ramen.
Also, you haven't come home for several days.
Do you eat well? You look worn-out.
I am eating well. Don't worry.
Oh, by the way, I got a blind date offer.
Are you free this weekend?
A blind date?
Remember Junghwa's mother, once our neighbor?
I don't think she has a good connection.
But this time is different.
You know the building in front of the bus stop next to the bakery?
The girl's family owns it. It's a 5-story building.
Not interested.
They are good enough.
Not really.
It's a run-down building...
and the land prices in this area are not so good.
Can I have more rice?
But...oh, sure.
I'm happy that my doctor son eats well.
Jaejoon, her background is not that interesting?
That's seafood stew...
You want some?
Did you clean up the store?
Yes.
The crab meat is really good. Come on and have some.
Is it the blue crab season?
But I'm full. You help yourself.
Why don't you just go and see her face?
I heard she's pretty and smart.
Dr. Jung, you know my sole purpose in life is your success, don't you?
I do.
And lastly, The key point marketing in this project..
is to use the consumer expectation...
on economic recovery and lead it to actual consumption.
Thank you for listening.
Good job! Good job! It was very good.
The concept was clear, so was the presentation.
Thank you.
Besides, the presenter was beautiful enough to loosen up the mood.
I'll take it into consideration as well when I make a decision.
Oh, thank you!
Sure. Let's have a meeting frequently.
Yes, sir.
Hey!
Hey, you. You...bald head!
Yes, you.
Uhm...Ms. Hong!
You...you... what did you just do to me?
You...groped my buttocks, didn't you?
You, you...I'm gonna sue you. Do you hear me?
Sue?
You're gonna sue whom?
Look, Ms. Hong. Don't you know how important this project is?
Even though you really had to say that,
you shouldn't have humiliated the executive director in front of his men.
Didn't you think about its impact on our company?
So are you saying I should have remained quiet?
To put it bluntly, your behind is just....
It's just flat.
He didn't touch your ***.
Excuse me? Do you want me to sue you too?
What?
It was an obvious *** harassment. I got goose bumps all over.
Yet, should I have let it pass for our company's sake?
Ms. Hong!
I've put up with things more humiliating than that.
I had to swallow my anger several times a day to reach my place today.
That's a part of a corporate life, ok?
If you are gonna find fault with this and that,
why don't you just get married and become a full-time mom?
A society does not pamper you.
Boss.
And honestly speaking...
you should be thankful that he regarded you as a woman.
Disgusting. They are disgusting!
I'm gonna...!
I've endured so much to reach my position.
What? He didn't touch my bust?
And was I supposed to be thankful for being taken as a woman?
I will make all you guys pay for this. I'll make you pay for this!
I can't believe this!
Hey! Nayoung...
Don't worry. I will stick to my job all the more.
I will not... I will never quit my job.
They are really disgusting.
Let go.
It really upset me.
Please just let go.
You looked like a panda a few minutes ago...
but now you look human.
Gosh...who knew the invincible Ms. Hong would go through this?
You would have a wonderful husband and cute children by now, right?
I know.
Those days were good.
The old good days when we were so naive and childlike.
I can't believe it's now that past
You were really impossible at that time.
Stop waiting for him. He wouldn't come at this hour.
You are really devoted.
I can't believe you keep saving a seat...
for your never-coming boyfriend each daybreak.
What on earth are you gonna be?
A good wife and wise mother.
I will assist my husband and raise our children well.
I'll become an adored wife and mother.
You are crazy.
Yes, I was crazy.
You see it now?
You should have come to your senses early on.
These need laundry.
He should put it out whenever he changes underwear.
Suksoon, I know you envy me.
If you are that envious, just get a boyfriend as wonderful as mine.
This is really good!
This is so tiring. But for him, I can do this.
Oh? Are you home?
Hi, Nayoung. You came again?
I made beef veggie soup. Let's have dinner.
I already had on my way home. One moment.
I should have realized it was stupid.
You should have said that earlier.
I was not the only one to oppose you.
Remember how much your mother and I tried to stop you?
Wake up!
What are you doing?
You were going to take some out to give a guy again, weren't you?
No.
Don't even lie to me.
What's wrong with you?
I can't believe you're this dumb dedicated to your boyfriend...
while you're not getting anything in return.
It hurts.
Of course it hurts.
Do you think guys will like you for doing this?
They will think you as a fool on the contrary.
Don't you get it, you fool!
Mom doesn't know anything.
He really really likes me.
Oppa!
Oppa. How could you do this to me? How, how could you?
You know what I've done for you. I've done everything for you.
That I know.
Then why?
Why are you doing this to me when you know that?
That's why I'm doing this to you.
What?
You're too good. I'm too grateful and...I'm sick of it.
You are like a pest, you know that?
I'm not a child.
I don't feel any of the woman in you. You're like a nagging mother.
Also, I think I must tell you this.
How can your dream be a good wife and wise mother?
That means you want to just live idle at home? Wake up.
This is the 21st century!
No one in these days wants that kind of a woman. Get it?
You can't do this to me...
You shouldn't do this to me.
It's all because of him.
Hey.
Had it not been him...
Had he not done that to me...
I would be...
I know.
I can't understand how you can be the same despite all my advice about men.
But still, I believe in love.
What?
A man is one thing, and love is another.
Do you think it makes any sense?
I still want to be a good wife and wise mother.
Men in these days are not interested in a woman...
who dreams to become a good wife and...
That's not true!
Not every man would feel the same way.
No. That's not true. Not every man is the same.
That's not true.
I'll throw up everything.
I'll throw up everything and get married and live happily!
You will see! Yes, you will see how happily I live.
I'll quit everything!
That lazybones...
Hey, get up!
Can't you even come to the table on time?
Do you know what time it is?
Were it a weekday, it's almost the time to call it a day.
Gosh...it hurts.
Oh, boy....
Dr. Jung. Try this.
Just leave it there. I will eat it.
Dr. Jung. Help yourself.
You too, my manager daughter.
I don't want to get fat.
Come on, you are skinny.
Let me eat some.
Yes. Please go ahead, Mother.
This beef is really tender and juicy.
The doctor told you not to eat too much meat...
...because of your high cholesterol level.
Mrs. Know-it-all.
It's not a question of how much.
I don't even remember when was the last time I had beef.
But the bulk around your waist shows you're eating well somehow.
It's all water, not fat.
Oh, go ahead. Have some beef, my eldest grandson.
Where are you gonna use the energy from meat?
Sleeping.
Just shut up.
That's nasty.
I really don't like anything of you.
Mother, I'll do it. I'll do it.
You should not strike even a dog when it's eating.
Because a dog bites.
Are you saying my eldest grandson is inferior to a dog?
He's a miserable 40. I can't say he's superior to a dog.
Look at his temper.
Gees, are we crazy about beef or what?
What's the big deal about a plate of beef?
Leave it there and just eat.
It's ok. I'm full. Jaewon!
What nerve you've got. Does it taste good?
What do you think of this?
Then how about his?
Nayoung, you're not going to have an interview, right?
Do these look that conservative? Doesn't this look neat?
That's why even our boss said...
that you should be grateful for being treated as a woman.
Hey....
They say that the eyes of men automatically fall on women's busts but...
all the clothes in this shop are designed to hide the bust line.
Also, you look older by at least 2 years with those.
Where did you buy your top?
I shouldn't have gone shopping with Eunson.
What was I thinking to have bought these?
I'm gonna return these right tomorrow.
Nuna!
I don't have money.
Come on.
I said I don't.
Just pay back the money you borrowed the other day.
Come on, Nuna...
Huh? What is this? Whew~ This is killing cool!
You should have put on things like this earlier so men would run after you.
Is this pretty?
It's feminine. Don't you think so?
You can slightly expose your bustline with bending over like this...
You have sex appeal.
And you should not hide it.
How much do you need?
On top of that, you have intellectual appeal too.
Nuna, you are just perfect.
Let me see if I have cash.
Good. I have some.
Thanks.
You sure this is pretty?
Absolutely. So pretty!
Make sure you bend over... Good.
What's wrong?
What?
Did you put on make-up too?
Yes, a little. It's Saturday.
Your eyes look very puffy with that poop color eyeshadow.
And the falsies are visible.
Is it okay now?
Are you trying to protest?
What?
"Look I am a woman, an object of *** harassment."
Don't say like that.
You did the shopping with Eunson, didn't you?
Yes.
She's still in her 20's, ok?
But we are at the age even a dating service agency is not interested in.
You better forget about the idea to throw yourself to a man.
Are you saying I should forget about a marriage?
So? Didn't you say you would stick to your job all the more?
I'm gonna get married first. I feel so miserable.
How about appealing with a noble character just like me?
Or with money...
But using your body is...I don't think it'll work.
My bodyline is still okay.
So you live with your parents and...
Yes.
May I ask how old you are?
Thirty...
three.
But I have a good personality and have saved some money.
No, dude, I can't!
Please help your old buddy when you are in that high position.
I want to but I can't lie that you're the heir of a prominent conglomerate.
And your car is what?
Ok, ok, ok...fine.
Then just introduce me as the head of a company.
No way!
Ok, ok, ok.
Then put me just as the owner of a small business.
Man, I could get fired if this causes any problem.
While you're married and have two kids, I've remained single.
I'll take care of the aftermath, so please help me get married.
So you are 33, a graduate from an elite college...
and...a manager of a company.
I think you are overqualified....
What's wrong with having a degree and a decent job?
No, no, there's nothing wrong but frankly speaking...
I think I'd better let you know the reality.
Well...you are a little old, smart, and competent....
Men can find a woman like you troublesome.
By the way, how much you have on your saving account?
Oh, I'm sorry.
Excuse me, adjossi!
You are not gonna apologize?
Why am I supposed to apologize? Ajoomma?
You just pushed me.
Look, don't you drive?
Going straight has always the right of the way.
Don't you know that?
Look, I was coming straight, straight from down there...
but you cut in my lane.
And doing that without giving a signal is a violation.
Am I right? Ajoomma?
Ok, fine. But adjossi, why do you keep calling me "ajoomma"?
Because you look like an ajoomma.
My goodness.
Please keep your lane from now on.
Also, please don't call just any men "adjossi." Ajoomma.
Oh, I see you must have been offended by being called "adjossi"...
I am sorry for that..
But you look like an adjossi.
Wait, ajoomma... what are you...?
Never mind. Just keep going your way.
By the way, are you a member here?
Excuse me?
Darn. Why do they accept just anybody as a member?
My....What did you just say?
Then are you a member too?
I didn't know they're doing a remarriage service.
Oh that's right, remarriage! You're enrolled for a remarriage service.
Gosh, I thought I made a mistake but...yes, you are an ajoomma.
I thought you pretended as a miss and became a member.
But now I see you are an ajoomma.
They are really good at arranging a remarriage.
Good luck. Well, I'm kind of busy so...
Sure you need a help for second marriage.
Really, there are all sorts of people in these days.
I shouldn't have wasted my time dealing with such an adjossi.
Why waste my energy?
I can't believe I was called "ajoomma."
Coming. Here are your ox bone soup.
Ajoomma, we are ready to order. Oh, okay okay.
Here's your water. What can I get for you?
- Two ox bone soup please. - Two ox bone soup?
- Here's an ox bone soup for no.1 table! - Ok
Here you are. Thank you.
Thank you.
Here's your order.
I'll get you a plate. Ok.
A plate please.
Ok.
Are you having dinner this late?
Have a seat.
You're eating like a wolf.
I'm eating. Don't bother.
Who knew you would live like this?
What do you want to say?
It's all because of that ***.
Let me eat.
Do you think she's rich? After having stepped on you?
Let me just eat, please?
Aren't you jealous at all? Aren't you curious about her news?
When did you come home?
What were you doing?
I was just trying the new earrings you bought for me.
Let me see.
Here.
You look awesome!
Really?
Yes. You look fantastic.
Honey, aren't you gonna have bathing?
Let me get a hot tub ready for you.
Thank you.
And honey! Guess the special service of the day.
After you finish bathing, I'll give you a foot massage.
Thank you!
- Honey, how does it feel? Good? - Yes. Very relaxing.
I will give you this massage two or three times a week.
Thank you!
Yes, Nayoung!
I think you are a little old.
Excuse me?
A woman at the age of 33 is not young.
Haven't you ever married? Have you?
No.
You have never married at your age?
Well... I'm a little confused.
Which did you expect from me? Been married or never been married?
Of course, I prefer a woman who has never been married.
But I felt a little odd... that you've never been married.
That's all.
Then, at age 42, do you think you're assumed to have...
Excuse me.
Hello? Oh, Kyongbin! Yes, it's dad.
Gosh! Look, does it make sense...
that he nitpicked everything about me when he's a divorced man?
He has even a child old enough to call his dad.
Oh no.
I was just...Gosh!
He looks older than 50 and yet, he kept saying I'm old.
Isn't he a psycho?
You know what was the worst moment?
After he finished the call with his son, he said he'd better be honest...
and said he's not interested in me because I'm an old maid.
What?
Then he stood up and walked away.
You see?
Why the heck did you see such a chit-freak?
Because the dating service insisted me to see him...
saying that although he's 10 years older than me...
seeing a man with such a background would be a rare chance for me at my age.
What's his background?
Well...He's an attorney.
Yes?
His father was a judge.
And?
He has a building in Kangnam.
What's his number?
What?
He's a good catch. Really.
Oh shut up.
By the way, what's the location of his building? And how high is it?
Stop it. Gosh...
Let's drink.
Are we that old?
Are we that old to be treated like a fifth wheel?
We are 33, right?
Thirty three is not that old.
Since graduating from college, we've worked so hard for our company.
To compete with men, we worked overtime at night even during our periods,
and we deserve our manager titles, right?
No one should pick on our age.
Isn't the fiancee of Mr. Nam in the marketing department 28?
Five years younger than him, right?
Yes, that means, age does not matter to men.
Which is right? Should we get married or not?
They say you'll regret in either case.
How about getting married and then get divorced?
Oh come on.
Let's just drink. Gosh, I'm sad.
Look, he's running.
I thought I really did my best in everything.
YOU & COMMUNICATION, Manager Nayoung Hong.
I thought I achieved something by now.
But now I don't have a husband, I don't have a child...
What do I have now?
Just this name card with a manager title?
But this title will be gone once I quit my job.
Have I bucked for this small pie of name card...
which can turn out to be nothing over a night?
until I reach 33?
Thus we recommend that your marketing direction should be EQ-oriented...
instead of relying on aggressive public relations.
I think I like your proposal.
I like the ideas about holding a concert or a birthday party.
I'll make a decision and get back to you in a few days.
Really? Oh, thank you.
Let me excuse myself.
Sure. See you.
Good job, Ms. Hong. Yes!
Thank you.
Mr. Yi!
I got a good hunch on this.
You think so too? Let se, it's gonna take some time to get a plan...
do construction work and set up, right?
Nayoung, then are we gonna do some physical labor for this project?
I think so.
We are not an event management company.
Don't count me in any physical labor.
So spoiled.
But she's cute.
Not at all.
By the way, you have a blind date today, right?
Yes.
What is he like?
A handsome, rich and capable, and even good-natured man.
Dream on.
If there had been such a man, he might have been already taken, huh?
Why don't you ask your mom to arrange one?
She has a good connection.
She said no one's interested in a woman my age..
I'll only be scolded if I bring it up.
Wait, are you really that desperate to see every man...
the dating service introduces to you?
You used to turn down some chances to see a man from a powerful family.
I don't care about a family background.
More important is my heart.
I think your heart is only open to bad guys.
That guy in your college days. I wonder if he earns a living.
Stop. You're like my mother.
What are you doing here?
What are you doing now?
Well...I'm uh...
I'll be right back with this car, ok?
Tell me why you need a car when you are not allowed to go out?
Hey. Please do me a favor as a friend.
I have a very important meeting of my life today.
So please cut me some slack. Please?
So why do you need the car for your meeting?
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what? Open the door. Open! Hey! Jaewon!
Jaewon Jung! You! You'll be dead! Hey!
What a waste of money to hold a child's wedding in a place like this?
Somebody is stuck with poverty but...Gosh.
They must have money piled up in their trash can.
They didn't even call us to any meetings before but...
I guess they invited us to show off their riches today.
Let's just drop off the wedding gift and go.
Come on. We've come a long way to this hotel and brought an expensive gift.
We should take what we deserve, ok?
They will probably serve steak at a reception, right?
Let's just go.
Thank you.
Look who's there.
Oh my, she's that ***. Your enemy.
Let's go.
Go where?
The saying is right that enemies shall come across in a deadlock.
You finally found her here.
Just let's go.
Hi, Mija!
Long time no see.
Hey, come with me. Look, over there.
The woman you once adored has come.
Both of you remember each other, don't you?
Even coffee tastes better here.
How could you try to avoid us instead of saying hello when it's been so long?
What a spoiled ***!
Don't you have anything to say?
You said you might die of repressed anger before your time...
because of this ***.
If you don't vent it out, you are gonna get sick.
Pour out what you have to talk.
Hey, don't you have anything to say?
You look darn better than before.
I almost failed to recognize you.
Aren't you supposed to be in her place?
Is she really whom we knew in the past?
You sure have changed beyond recognition, huh?
Excuse me but... I'm busy and I gotta go.
You have got a lot of galls.
You're acting like you fear nothing. Do you?
You don't remember?
Remember what?
What do you want to put into my mouth? I don't remember anything.
What? Look at the way this *** open her pie hole.
Watch your language.
You shouldn't say such vulgar words to a person in my age.
What?
Please stop. We've just met her and she said she's busy.
Get up and let's go.
You stop. You are not Budda.
Didn't you want to meet this ***?
Can you leave us alone? Please.
Please....send me a good Joe. Please, please!!
Not bad.
I'd better not expect too much.
Are you okay?
Are you okay? Thank you so much.
Darn. I look terrible.
Can't you drive more careful?
Darn...
Hello?
