SON MYEONG-O
MORE TATTOOS? I'M SO COOL
LEE SA-RA
FINISHED MY PAINTING. CHEERS!
WHAT TO WEAR? SO MANY CLOTHES
Why are you snooping around?
-Does that make them better painters? -It makes them more obedient.
Five hundred grams.
Don't use it too quickly.
We thank thee for our daily bread...
You broke-ass punk. This isn't 500 grams.
How dare you steal my source of inspiration?
You're just a druggie acting like an artist.
If you have a pencil in your hair, can you draw the Mona Lisa?
That's the only drawing you know, right?
You probably saw it while taking a shit.
I'll let it slide because your life is so pathetic.
Stop barking at me and get lost.
That fucking bitch.
CHOI HYE-JEONG
JEON JAE-JUN
Do you need anything, sir?
Sing me a lullaby, will you?
I can't fall asleep.
Would you like a warm wet towel?
Do you offer anything else that's warm?
Stop screwing around and go to sleep.
Dear passengers.
To ensure a safe flight, the use of any personal electronic devices is prohibited.
I'm dead tired. Can you give me a ride?
NEW MESSAGE JUNEE
Drink an energy drink and take the airport bus. I have plans.
Can I try this on?
I'm sorry.
We currently have some water leakage in the fitting rooms.
I'll give you a 10% discount instead.
You don't even need to try it on. It's like it was made for you.
UNDER MAINTENANCE SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE - SIESTA
Do you know why I named this store Siesta?
You like doing it with me during the day.
You're right.
So you can meet some other bitch at night?
How's your wedding planning going?
Why ask? You're not even interested.
It makes me seem nice.
Bullshit!
Let me know if you ever want to get married.
I don't share men with other bitches.
PARK YEON-JIN
WAITING FOR MY BABE
AMAZING VIEW. THANK YOU
WHICH DRESS? THEY'RE ALL SO PRETTY
A LOT TO PREPARE, BUT I'M HAPPY! LOVE YOU!
LAND TOUR
-Do you enjoy working? -It's a lot of fun.
The manager really likes you.
Apparently, ever since you started tutoring their daughter,
she started wearing less makeup.
Here it is.
I think they are starting to switch over to Instagram.
That bitch Hye-jeong already switched.
They don't use Facebook anymore?
Cheer up, Dong-eun.
You didn't think revenge would be that easy, did you?
When they all switch over, just use this account.
The ID and password are the same as the Facebook account.
I didn't expect to have to learn new things.
Oh, come on.
I keep telling you. It's not too late to change your mind.
Revenge is supposed to be dirty and violent.
I know some guys with gangster tattoos.
I grew up with them at the orphanage.
Do you think they would kill for me too?
Kill for you?
Unless I'm actually going to kill them,
I don't want to be a sloppy avenger. I've come too far for that.
I need to take this step by step, even if it takes a long time.
You're right.
You're halfway there though.
I saw an article today about that cunt Park Yeon-jin's wedding.
Have you seen it?
Yeah.
It was a total gamble.
I was so glad.
Do you know what's nice about not having a religion, Seong-hee?
You know where you're going when you die.
Hell.
If I'm going to end up in hell anyway,
whether I was a good or evil person,
I'm going to do this in two steps.
A BOOK ON THE GAME OF GO THE GO STORY
I hope that you still want to see me dance, Yeon-jin.
Although I'm afraid that it will be a wild sword dance.
CAN YOU DO AN EXTRA MATH SESSION? YOU CAN SET THE PRICE
Now, let's derive the quadratic formula.
We'll use the perfect square equation to solve the quadratic equation.
Ax squared plus bx plus c equals...
Ms. Moon.
Where did you get that shirt?
Online.
-Have you been listening? -It's pretty.
When did you stop listening? Your mock exam is next week.
I think you'll look prettier without it.
Just show me your boobs once. I swear I'll do well on the exam.
You will get paid extra if I get better scores, right?
It's all thanks to you, Yeon-jin.
I'm not even surprised when this happens.
I wonder how you people always recognize the kind of person I am.
-This will be my last lesson. -Why?
I can get more money through other means.
And you'll end up wearing government clothes,
regardless of whether your grades go up or down.
A prison uniform.
Are you insane?
If Mom finds out, you're screwed!
She already knows.
She's been listening to our lessons since the very first one.
You know this is being recorded, right, ma'am?
You can pay to keep my mouth shut.
This is fucking unbelievable.
You want to be a teacher. Fuck, are you allowed to do this?
Not sure. Am I not?
Good luck with your exam.
He got into a fight nearby this time,
so he was brought in quickly.
Seriously, we shouldn't be giving him a day off.
That damn psycho is always on TV. The results of the hearing came out.
Really?
I wish we could just cut the power.
Please give him a 10% DW mixed with vitamins B and C.
-Oh, with the deputy director... -I know.
Can the guardian of Kim Min-su in Ward 62 come to the ward, please?
Congratulations on your wedding, Yeon-jin. I mean it.
I'm sorry I didn't bring money for your wedding gift.
Oh, well.
A wedding isn't the only major event in life, you know.
"Fog and clouds are both made up of vapor,
but the name differs depending on where they are formed."
"If it's closer to the sky than the ground, it's called a cloud."
"And it's called a fog if it's closer to the ground."
What is it, Yeon-jin? Is there a typo?
No.
It's well written, so I'm reading it again.
By the way,
why do you guys get scared so easily?
Seul-gi.
You know that the other weathercasters all talk behind my back, right?
They say I can't even write my own script.
Excuse me?
Don't give me that look. You know what I'm talking about!
This is why I don't write them.
I can pay you to get a script like this.
And my scripts are shitty.
Do you have a passport?
-No. -Then get one.
And tell me where you want to go for your vacation.
I like your script.
You do?
Thank you!
I'll go and look it up.
With some pocket money,
I just became her God.
"When driving in the morning or at night when fog is likely to form,
please turn on your hazard lights and slow down for safety."
You motherfucker!
That fucking dog doesn't shit when he's out on a walk.
He shits when he's back at home.
His name is Louis.
Louis the 11th.
It's because Louis is old. He's 11.
But you're young, you bastard. So, what's wrong with you?
What about me?
Are you doing it too?
Doing what?
Drugs.
Sa-ra told me that you keep pilfering her weed.
I wasn't pilfering it.
I'm worried about Sa-ra, so I was just checking...
Hey.
Hey!
You think your job is a game?
And I'm still your friend because I hang out with you?
I have a lot of things to inherit. Right, Myeong-o?
But if you drive while on drugs and I die young,
that wouldn't be fair to me, would it? Answer me.
Answer me, damn it!
I'm sorry.
Oh, wait!
Hold on!
My God.
I know that I look a bit rough right now,
but I'm an intern here. Yeah.
It's my day off.
Hold on.
Press it for about five minutes.
Where did the patient go?
She left.
Hey, I'm fine now. Look.
She just left? But her HCT level looks awful.
Hey, I'm in pain too.
I just got brought in.
You, I should just... Jeez!
God. Just freaking go back to sleep. And don't roam around.
She didn't even finish her IV.
What is it? Let me see.
She's malnourished?
All right, before we start today's class,
I've been wondering about this for a while now.
You, the decent-looking student at the very back.
Who are you?
I don't think you're a student in my class.
Hello, Professor.
I heard that your class is exceptional, so I'm just sitting in.
-If you'd just allow me... -I don't buy it.
Who is the "exceptional" person that led you here?
It's definitely you, Professor!
-I respect and love you! -Oh dear.
That's too bad.
I'm married. Get out.
Okay, I didn't know that you were married.
I'll get going, then.
Come on, spill it. Who is this "exceptional" person?
Soo-han!
I thought you weren't at school.
I have a class that I need to get the credit for.
-What are you doing here? -I'm buying lunch for some club members.
Have you eaten yet? You should come with us.
Are you a good drinker?
Thankfully, you look good today.
How did you find out what school I go to?
Oh, a nurse saw your student ID
while looking for your guardian's phone number.
And I went to the lecture hall
because your blood test results weren't very good.
You left without your prescription, so I brought it with me.
You don't seem to know your condition.
You need to take medication for anemia for six months.
And get another test, because the prescription from before
is no longer valid. Make sure to take your meds.
Do you like to play Go?
Do you know how to play?
Oh, I'm incredible at it.
How long would I have to learn Go to beat a good player?
Who are you trying to beat? Lee Se-dol?
Who's Lee Se-dol?
I think you might need a tutor.
Would you like me to be your Go tutor?
Do late evenings work for you? I have to tutor somebody too.
GYODAE CAFE
You were a freshman in 2006?
I know, right? Nobody thinks I look that old.
Oh, jeez.
I usually don't say so as not to brag,
but I was born in early 1989 so started school early.
I was something like a prodigy as a kid, so I skipped some grades.
So, should we refer to each other formally, then?
I guess you like formalities.
I'm a beginner, so I get the black, right?
So you know who plays which stones.
Place your stone.
Okay.
To sum up Go in one sentence,
the person who has more territory wins.
So, you start near the end and move towards the center.
While building your own territories, you destroy your opponent's,
tightening the boundary slowly.
A battle fought fiercely, in silence.
I like that.
I didn't study oriental medicine,
but cheongsimhwan is the best for national exams.
The Teacher Certification Exam is next week. I hope you pass this time.
Thank you for being my tutor for all this time.
I hope you'll become a great doctor.
Is this our last lesson?
Why?
We have to keep going. You haven't beaten me yet.
You're not the person I want to beat.
To become a teacher, it's essential for you to possess...
SPRING OF 2015
...a deep love for humanity.
You are to provide high-quality education...
MOON DONG-EUN
...and cultivate talented students who will contribute to this country...
I really liked the spring of 2015.
I passed the Teacher Certification Exam on my second try.
And thankfully, you became a mother.
I came up with over 100 names for your child,
who was to be born that fall.
I even gave a toast
to my eventual corruption
and your eventual destruction.
SUMMER OF 2021
Happy birthday.
Oh my God. It's beautiful!
How did you think of getting such a bright color?
I thought you'd be able to pull it off.
It's Gyeong-tae.
He and Sang-hyeon want me to join them for a drink.
-At this hour. Crazy bastards. -Just the two of them?
No way.
You sure you don't wanna go out?
No. I saw the girls they are with. They aren't pretty.
Would you have gone if they were?
Define "pretty."
You're brushing your teeth right now?
While I'm doing this?
That's why I'm doing it fast.
Gyeong-tae is a total mama's boy, and he's so boring.
Being an accountant is his only charm, but he's always with a new girl.
I never understood that.
But I finally found out the reason, thanks to Hye-jeong.
What's the reason?
They did it in the hotel lobby bathroom.
They got turned on while getting the hotel keys.
That crazy bastard.
What? I'm kind of curious.
It's a tight space, and there are people outside.
The marble feels cold,
but you and I feel so hot.
Apart from the fact that it's big...
I guess this room is similar.
Your toll has been charged.

TO MY OLD FRIEND JO SOO-HYEON
CIALIS
After living here for a few months,
I've realized that this garden is the best.
It looks really expensive during the day
and ridiculously expensive at night.
The money is well spent, then.
Is the commute okay? It's a two-hour round trip to Seoul.
It keeps me fit, so it's good.
You said that you don't like women
who stop taking care of themselves after marriage.
I'll wake up at two in the morning, jump rope on an empty stomach,
and set out at three. Then I should be on time.
Are you on an earlier news show now?
It's obvious I got ousted due to my age.
Speaking of which, Do-yeong,
can you run some commercials on our news channel?
I'll use capitalism when I renew my contract.
You should have told me earlier.
There's no need to hurt your pride.
A problem that can be solved with money is the easiest one in the world.
Really?
You're so awesome, my ally!
So, is the PR team coming to the broadcasting station tomorrow?
In the afternoon.
You got new cigarettes?
Huh?
Yeah.
Oh, about your friend, the flight attendant.
Hey, it's Choi Hye-jeong! You should know that by now.
What about her?
She told Gyeong-tae about when you were in high school.
While they were drinking.
About me? What did she say?
That she had better grades than you.
That was one time. Just once!
Are you mad because your wife did badly at school?
I don't like the fact that they talked about us over drinks.
Not "us."
I guess they had fun talking about me. I won't let it bother you again.
Mommy!
Ye-sol.
What do you do first when you get home?
Wash my hands. I need to wash my hands!
She scared me!
Did you see my maternal instinct?
What does Yeon-jin do first after she smokes?
You're cute!
Damn it.
When are you coming?
Why is she being so damn annoying today?
It's pretty.
What? What is it?
Did you buy a new dress?
Oh, I got it from my boyfriend.
He thought of me when he was at the Galleria.
Hye-jeong.
Is Sa-ra your boyfriend now?
Have you been wearing your customers' clothes?
I told you that she would show up wearing the dress you left at the shop.
At least she has a keen eye.
She picked your dress out of all those clothes.
Hey, Hye-jeong.
I lost a Chanel today thanks to you.
Damn, you're rich. Use perfume!
The quality is what matters, not the price.
This is the best for getting rid of smells.
Jeez.
There are only two of these in the country.
Look at you and your high standards.
Hye-jeong.
Come to your senses.
It was either Dong-eun or you back then.
You would have gotten grilled instead. Do you understand?
Hye-jeong.
Don't you know how bad Gyeong-tae is at keeping secrets?
You talked about me in front of him?
You should have just gotten drunk and slept with him.
Why the fuck did you have to start babbling?
We're not in high school anymore.
Friendship alone can't keep us going.
Watch your damn mouth from now on.
Know your place, and wear clothes that you can afford.
If you understand me, then nod.
I'm taking this.
Sa-ra.
I'm sorry. I'll clean this dress and...
Hey, fucking hell.
It's loose around the chest now. You can keep the damn thing.
A gift from my friends. Thanks, guys!
Surprise! With the weathercaster, Park Yeon-jin.
The weather is volatile
as we approach the first weekend of March.
Ms. Park Yeon-jin?
Yes, I am now at the Kilsangsa Temple in Seoul.
The spring flowers have bloomed on the trees around the temple.
SPRING OF 2022
The winter jasmine is the most impressive, its name meaning "welcoming spring."
It was placed on the heads of the top-scoring candidates in gwageo.
So they are also known as the King's flowers.
But with the spring rain that started yesterday afternoon,
Korea is getting cold once again.
The rain is expected to continue across the country
over the weekend and lead to the final cold snap.
The temperatures are almost seven degrees lower than average.
In the mountainous regions, the rain has turned to snow,
which will possibly continue today and tomorrow.
If you're planning on a weekend hike...
I watch the weather channel every morning.
...so please be sure to dress with care.
This is Park Yeon-jin.
A NEW TOMORROW WITH JAEPYEONG A FUTURE BUILT WITH JAEPYEONG
JAEPYEONG CONSTRUCTION
Jeez, you phony patient.
I told you not to come outside. Why are you here again?
I felt stuffy, so I came out to get some air.
What are you doing out here?
Did you get stood up again?
Stood up? Who, me?
Not at all. And I've never gotten stood up before.
You look just fine on the outside.
I wonder if the director knows about this.
Oh, come on.
Let's not get our families involved now.
I'll think about it if you let me have a sip of that coffee.
That's not happening.
-Why are you stepping in the puddle? -Huh?
-Come over here. -Okay.
Seriously.
Damn, it's raining cats and dogs out there.
Jae-jun called, right?
Yeah. He wants you to bring some sweaters.
Hold on.
Damn.
Huh?
It's Moon Dong-eun.
It is you.
Wow, what a coincidence.
It's Son Myeong-o. You remember me, right?
Of course I do. It's been a long time.
Right?
Wow.
How have you been? What are you doing nowadays?
-I'm an elementary school teacher. -What?
Really?
I've been thinking a lot about you.
You have?
Are you here to buy shoes?
No, I was just trying them on.
Hey, don't take them off.
They look great on you.
Try them on.
Okay.
Look in the mirror.
Do you want a drink? We have all kinds here.
You can keep those on.
This store is basically mine.
Alcohol, water, or coffee. Which one do you want?
Coffee.
By the way,
what were you thinking about me?
Wait.
Was I your first kiss?
Man, you must think about it a lot, then.
Is this store really yours?
Yeah, more or less.
I do a lot of things.
So I'm pretty busy.
Jae-jun called. He asked why you're not picking up.
He wants you to pick his clothes up and buy some dog food for Louis.
Damn, that asshole.
He can't do anything without me.
You remember Jeon Jae-jun, right?
So nothing has changed.
You're still running errands for Jae-jun?
Fuck, it's not like that.
You know, life is so unfair.
While I was working to become a teacher and you were getting him dog food,
they inherited a golf course and own a store like this,
thanks to their parents.
That's why I hoped that all of this stuff was actually yours.
I really wished that for a second.
Hey, stop playing with me, damn it.
Choose your next words wisely. I still hit women.
Why don't you pick another punching bag?
If you do that, I think this shop could actually become yours.
What bullshit is this?
I learned something recently,
but it's pretty intense. So I can't handle it by myself.
You want to know why I'm telling you this?
I thought you'd understand my desire to destroy them.
And
back then,
I actually found you more scary
than I found anybody else.
Really?
What is it?
What's this "pretty intense" stuff?
So you can drink after all. You just chose not to.
I usually get drunk after just one glass, but I guess I'm just excited today.
Hey, that's nice to hear. It makes me feel kind of special.
Of course, you're special to me.
By the way, Soo-han,
you always wear that watch, don't you?
My watch?
Oh, this?
My father bought it when he was first assigned to a school.
He wanted to pass it on to his son.
He has a thing for creating traditions.
Wow, that's cute.
But he's old now, and it's quite hard to pay his caregivers
and his hospital bills.
So I really need to pass the Inspector Exam this time.
My wife even prays at church.
Does it help?
For me, I'm taking another step forward all by myself.
God has never really helped me.
Huh?
Oh, are you praying for something too?
Yes. I've been praying for you so that you can pass your exam this time.
I really hope you pass, Soo-han.
I'm rooting for you with all my heart.
SEMYEONG REAL ESTATE
Oh. Okay, thanks.
Your eyes look pretty when you're drinking.
No.
My legs are even prettier.
Go ahead.
Hello?
Hello, this is Semyeong Real Estate.
There's a vacancy in the apartment that you wanted.
RENTAL CONTRACT
Bring your seal, okay?
You're looking for this, right?
When did you start doing this?
I noticed it for the first time last fall.
Don't lie to me.
You may have avoided the security cameras,
but I got your face right on my phone.
I've collected these pictures for six months.
Look at that. God never helps me.
Why did this employee at the foundation director's house
have to be observant and patient at the same time?
If you want money, I can give it to you.
I don't want any money, and I'm not going to report you.
I don't know what you want to do with this,
but you've been doing it for six months,
and I feel like you'll achieve something.
I want to be on your side.
I'll help you out,
so please help me too.
What exactly do you want from me?
I want you
to kill my husband.
