All right.
Don't move.
Heave...
ho!
It's a delivery!
Who...
FRY ME
Hi! Did you order hot fried chicken,
spicy chicken,
and salty soy sauce chicken?
No.
Did you order chicken?
How could I?
Come. Let's start over.
I got it wrong.
You got fried, spicy, and soy sauce chicken.
And the large fries and cola are on the house.
-I'm sorry, but-- -Mister.
We didn't order it. Okay? Just go.
Just a second.
Was it a cider, not cola?
Mister, we didn't order anything.
So just go.
You didn't order chicken?
But this is the address. Apartment 401.
I don't care. Just go.
I have to check first.
What's with you?
You're really pissing me off.
What do you want to do? Well?
I'm sure this is it.
I'll check, so just wait here.
Don't check, and don't come back!
-I'll be right back. -Don't come back!
Go! Hey!
Wait...
Hey, Ji-won. Hey!
What the heck?
Ji-won? Open the door.
I don't think we should be doing this.
What? What are you talking about? Hey!
I'm not the delivery man! It's me. Open the door!
Come on. Hey!
I'm flustered by how you're acting.
What do you think of our relationship?
What is she talking about?
Are you sick or something?
This isn't like you. Hey!
Open the door. What's with you?
I think I need some time. Tell me if it's hard for you.
I'll accept whatever you say.
Is she kidding?
I'm leaving! You're being so mean.
Ji-won?
You can hear me, right?
I don't think you're easy.
I love your soul more.
Honestly, you're all skin and bones. There's nothing to see.
Don't get me wrong.
Anyway...
Sorry about tonight.
Good night.
That could've been bad.
This little...
Damn it.
Goodness.
I was going to go back up if he didn't come out.
Did I do a good job?
Yeah. Good job.
I felt like a spy. It was fun.
But what's going on?
So...
Shall I go now?
EPISODE 3
Hey!
I swear...
Where'd you go with all the chicken?
I had to do all the works alone until now!
Ji-hyuk urgently needed me.
You little...
Well...
Come on. Try me.
-You should've been faster! -Do it!
-Try it! -I thought you ran away.
Why you...
But why, all of a sudden?
I don't know.
He asked me to fake a misdelivery.
I think something's going on.
What do you mean?
This morning, he suddenly asked me to find someone,
so I made over 100 calls.
-To find someone? -Yeah.
-Why? -I don't know.
He had this look on his face.
So I couldn't ask.
You should've been a celebrity instead.
I'm not good in front of people.
That's your problem.
You're too timid...
I mean, scrupulous.
We could've been huge if you were a little shameless.
If you appear on TV and do...
a little of this
and a little of that,
our sales would be through the roof!
I almost forgot.
I can't come in this Sunday. I already told the sous-chef.
What's up? Do you have a blind date?
Are you ready to start dating now?
No, it's not that.
I have a high school reunion.
What?
You're going?
Don't you avoid these events since your first love broke your heart?
She turned you down harshly, right?
You're not the type to be turned down that easily.
Come on.
By the way, how did you know about the reunion?
You don't keep in touch.
Well...
U&K FOOD MARKETING GENERAL MANAGER YU JI-HYUK
By any chance,
are you free this Sunday?
You seem like a decent person,
but I have a girlfriend.
-I'm sorry. -Excuse me?
That's not what I mean. What are you thinking?
It's not like that. Never.
There's a high school reunion.
A man showed up and told me about it.
But I don't know who he is.
He's not from my school.
That sounds suspicious.
It's best not to get involved.
Unless you want to see your first love, don't go.
What did I do?
You shouldn't be like that.
I never want to speak to you again.
Do you miss her?
Since that traumatic event, you didn't want to date anyone.
You even wear the fake ring around.
Right? I shouldn't go, should I?
If you're going to go,
dress to the nines.
No.
To be honest, I was really upset today.
You'll pay the price for it on Sunday at Goseuljung.
Don't be late.
I can't make myself pretty overnight.
SUNDAY
My other half, are you coming? Our date's today!
Don't be late. Make yourself pretty!
I don't know how pretty you can get overnight,
but as long as you're pretty to me.
GOSEULJUNG
BUSAN TAEHA HIGH SCHOOL'S 37TH REUNION
Jeong Su-min, is that you?
You look so pretty!
She was always pretty.
You're so cute. You haven't changed at all.
Everyone, Su-min's here. Let's drink!
Let's drink now!
Sit down.
Cheers to Busan Taeha High School!
Since you got the job at the big company, your vibe feels a bit changed.
You feel like a classy city lady now.
I got lucky.
Ji-won supported me a lot.
Do you still see her?
She's my other half.
You're too soft. You're still a pushover.
What's she up to?
Does she still sponge off of you?
She's modest.
Still, she's gotten a lot prettier.
She's coming later actually. I called her.
Wait, she's coming here?
Be nice to her when she shows up.
She's going through a hard time.
Why is that?
Remember how I put in a referral and got her a contract job at U&K?
Now, she has a crush on Mr. Park Min-hwan.
Park Min-hwan? Isn't he the one you're into?
Is he the same person?
What?
Well...
No. It's not what you think.
Don't bring it up to her.
-Please, don't. -Why not?
She's at it again!
OTHER HALF
Hey, Ji-won.
Hey, where are you?
I'll get you if you can't find your way.
I'm here. I'm behind you.
Ji-won...
What's going on?
It wasn't just us for dinner?
It's been a long time.
I can't make myself pretty overnight.
Ms. Kang!
You said you had plans on Sunday,
so how about we hang out tomorrow?
SATURDAY
STOCK BALANCE: 1,403,000 WON
It went up to 1.4 million won.
I invested 3 million, so this means it's 6 million now.
Once my next paycheck comes in,
I'll invest it all.
What the heck?
It's a lot more different than I thought.
That's why the general manager told me to not wear it.
I'm such a fool.
So pretty.
Ji-won!
Sorry I'm late!
No, it's fine.
You look so pretty today! You wore the clothes I bought you.
For today, ta-da!
Matching hats.
Here's yours.
It looks so great on you!
Thanks.
I wish glasses looked good on me too.
You'd look prettier without them.
Again with your lack of confidence. You're pretty! So pretty!
Where's Min-hwan?
He'll be here soon.
The weather's great today. It's hot.
Give me the candy.
Sorry. I forgot to buy some more since we finished it.
What? You know how much I like that candy.
Sorry.
What's up? Did Ji-won upset Su-min again?
Hi, Min-hwan. She doesn't have my favorite candy today.
If she cared about me, she would've prepared them.
I'm so upset.
Why did you do that?
That's why I bought some!
My favorite!
-You're the best! -Great job!
-Shall we go see the flowers? -Sounds good! Bring our stuff!
-Hurry up! -Okay.
Wait!
Wow, it's so pretty.
-Did you get it? -Yeah.
-Look over there. Isn't it pretty? -Yeah.
My long-awaited date with you!
Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
No, that's okay.
Authentique...
Su-min gave it to me as a gift.
But this one's a knockoff.
I just learned that.
These are real, right?
Yes, they're real.
The shine's different, right?
They're beautiful.
Thank you. They're pretty, right?
Why haven't you been drinking?
It's so nice drinking together.
What do you mean? I drink a lot.
You said you didn't drink.
You said you quit drinking
since one big drunken mistake you made before.
Me? A drunken mistake?
Are you okay?
I did quit drinking for a while.
But I started drinking again because of Min-hwan...
Say what?
You started drinking again because of Mr. Park?
Not now, but five years from now.
Drinking in moderation is fine.
Being scared of another mistake seemed like a dumb idea to quit drinking.
-Do you want fried dumplings? -Yeah!
-Can we get six more fried dumplings? -Okay.
Back then, the drunken mistake felt like a huge deal to me.
I had completely forgotten.
Why did I reflect so much and become so withdrawn?
Here are your dumplings.
Thank you.
I really like you.
You're bright and healthy.
Is that where your name comes from?
That's right.
My name means "joyous connection."
"Be a joyous connection to anyone."
That's my motto.
I knew it.
Let's make a toast!
-To a joyous... -Connection!
Try it. It's so good!
-Like right now? -Yeah!
Eat it right now?
Isn't it good? It's so good!
Isn't it so good?
To be honest with you,
I'm glad we met today instead.
On Sundays, we can't drink so much because we work the next day.
You're right.
Isn't your reunion tomorrow?
-Shall we drink in moderation? -Oh, that.
I haven't decided to go yet.
To be honest, I wasn't just an unpopular girl.
I've been bullied.
What? You were bullied?
But why?
I don't know.
Everyone suddenly hated me.
So that made me feel small
and make more mistakes.
And everyone hated me more for that.
You should've asked them why.
How could I?
How will you know if you don't ask?
Honestly, I'm the type to run away when things get too hard,
but you should try all you can before that.
I need to know if these people are simply crazy
or have good reasons
so I won't have regrets later.
No regrets?
Yeah.
It makes so much sense. Why hasn't this occurred to me?
Su-min is just too nice.
Ever since high school, Ji-won--
Ye-ji, wait.
Ji-won wasn't at her seat earlier.
I need to hear the rest.
You're right.
I should go if I don't want to regret it.
What is it?
Turning a shameful past into history...
It sounds easy,
but it can't be done overnight for someone like me.
That may be true.
But you can try.
-I can? -A stitch in time saves nine!
Those who are prepared will not fail!
What are you doing?
I love dumplings.
I want to eat them at home later.
It's finally time for me to repay your kindness!
Hello!
It's been a while, Hui-yeon.
This is my favorite superior at work.
Hello.
Hello, I'm Designer Song Jae-min.
Shall we go now?
Yeah, let's go.
I'm going to pay with my membership here.
-No, Hui-yeon. -Hush!
My savior.
Focus.
The membership that expires today?
That's great news.
What would you have done without her, Hui-yeon?
Your hair's so healthy. Any style would look great.
Shall we do an S-curl perm?
How about a wavy perm?
A too radical change might make you
feel like you're a completely different person.
Let's do a soft wavy perm. She needs an eyelash perm too.
-Let's trim her eyebrows-- -Wait.
I do want to be a different person.
Okay, got it.
Then you'll be reborn today.
Also, grab a new hair part for her.
And...
Her makeup!
Is Ms. Nam here?
Yes. I'll call her.
I'm going to introduce you to a new you.
You'll meet her in front of a mirror.
Those who aren't mentally mature like you
judge others by their looks.
If you want something, dress accordingly.
That's the start.
You look incredible!
It looks good on you!
You're so pretty. Do you like it?
How's this?
So nice!
No, maybe next time.
Why? It's great!
This needs to go to someone else.
Dude, you're spitting all over the meat.
Is it a cold?
It's from the smoke! I'm not sick.
What? Your girl didn't pick up or call you back?
I don't call Ji-won.
Real players just let it be.
RECENT CALLS KANG JI-WON
CALL FAILED
You let them be, and they start to think.
Once they start thinking, they'll give in.
-You don't know anything. -Help me with this.
Watch.
Do you want some help?
The hammock!
I'm great with this.
Shall we open it? One, two, three.
Come by and have some BBQ later.
But this bitch is holding out longer than I thought.
You're going to die anyway.
Get lost!
The dumplings are cold now.
Excuse me. More dumplings...
Thanks, Hui-yeon.
About the meal kit.
I'll look at your proposal.
Ju-ran and Su-min will be on the team.
They'll make up for what you lack.
Did he read my proposal?
Jeong Su-min will be on the team?
Wait.
You didn't forget about tomorrow, right? Goseuljung, 5:30 p.m.
OKAY
Hello?
Ji-won, it's me.
What did you do today?
I had tteokbokki with Hui-yeon today.
She's sleeping right now.
Yu Hui-yeon is at your house right now? Why?
We were talking, and she fell asleep.
We had some drinks too.
Hello?
You should've called me.
Did I do something to upset you?
No. Did you do something that might upset me?
No, nothing.
I called to ask for a favor.
What is it?
I was wondering...
This...
It's about your proposal.
...is great!
It's really great.
Can I fix it a little and propose it again?
What do you think?
No, you can't. It's my proposal.
Why not? Yours was rejected. I got a good feeling.
I want to be a full-time employee.
Let's succeed together, pal!
You should've told me.
If I had known,
I wouldn't have fixed it.
Sorry, I'll give you my next good idea.
Also...
Stop calling me by my name at work.
We're friends, but we have different positions
and I'm more experienced. You're crossing the line by making me run coffee errands
and ordering me around.
Let's not mix business with pleasure, okay?
-What? -I've got to go. See you tomorrow.
What was that?
Ji-won, how dare you do this to me?
I changed my reservations for you to go to the reunion.
See you tomorrow, girl.
I love you. See you tomorrow.
I bought new earrings to show you, Ye-ji!
I swear.
Just when I put my guard down, she forgets what a loser she is.
It's okay.
I'll just have to teach her again.
Make sure to wear the earrings I got you.
MEAL KIT PROPOSAL FOR SINGLE HOUSEHOLDS
Over here! The chicken came out. Come on.
What did your mom say?
I said I'd be with you, so she's okay.
My mom is so silly.
I'm 31. Why do I still have a curfew?
It's because you're so pretty.
She's just worried.
Let me tell you about women.
They should grow up sheltered.
Here.
So what if my mom raised me like this?
I need to meet a reliable man like you to continue a life like this.
That's right. Yeah.
We're done talking about work,
-so I can call you Gyeong-uk, right? -Wait.
Of course.
From now on,
we're more than just coworkers.
PREPARED: ASSISTANT MANAGER KANG JI-WON
Here.
GOSEULJUNG
Hey, Ji-won.
Hey, where are you?
I'll get you if you can't find your way.
I'm here. I'm behind you.
Ji-won...
What's going on? It wasn't just us for dinner?
It's been a long time.
Wow, what happened?
How did the loser Kang Ji-won get so pretty?
I don't remember you, so you're pretty much a stranger.
You're very rude.
Was I? Sorry.
I'm so clueless.
He hasn't changed.
He was clueless then.
-He's still clueless now. -Wow.
You even copied Su-min's earrings.
And you want to talk about manners?
Earrings?
No, they're not the same.
These look really nice.
Those look a little cheap.
Are those knockoffs?
Wow, did you copy her?
Su-min, you should've bought authentic ones.
There are so many great knockoffs.
Forget it. It can happen if you're broke.
FIVE HOURS AGO
Makeup is a skill. You get better with practice.
When it comes to knockoffs...
No.
For copies,
there are different grades. S grade, A grade, B grade.
Anyone can tell these are super fake dupes.
They are?
They're knockoffs that don't have the decency to pretend to look real.
There's only one reason for a gift like this.
Humiliation.
-I... -Let's have a drink.
I'm sure you had one more.
To show that I copied you
so yours look real compared to mine.
-I... -But...
too bad.
Wear mine to dinner!
I think I found a real friend.
Excuse me.
Kang Ji-won is incredible.
Why did she come? She has no friends here.
She must be here to eat.
Did you see her? She looks so poor.
Kang Ji-won is incredible.
Why did she come? She has no friends here.
She must be here to brag.
Did you see her? Everything looked new.
Why are you talking like you're from Seoul? It's weird.
Still, how is she still hanging out with Su-min?
Isn't it obvious?
Su-min, that softie is just too nice to her.
She stays by her and steals everything!
I hate her.
She really is incredible.
Su-min is just too nice.
We should take care of her.
Ever since high school, Ji-won--
Ye-ji, wait.
What?
Ji-won wasn't at her seat earlier.
Were you here all this time?
-Why did you pretend like you weren't? I-- -Then...
I came in here first.
Do I have to come out to greet you?
Don't mind me and keep talking.
I'm curious too.
What did I do to Su-min in high school?
You don't know?
You coveted and copied everything of hers.
Didn't you copy Su-min with those earrings?
These?
Su-min gave these to me as a gift.
But they were fake.
It was too obvious.
So I bought the authentic ones.
Still, they're matching earrings, right?
I'm still curious.
What else did I covet of hers?
A guy!
What's his name? Park Min-hwan! I heard you were interested in her guy.
People don't change.
Su-min dated Eun-ho in high school, and you made them break up.
I told Su-min to break up with Eun-ho?
They were dating?
And Su-min has something going on with Min-hwan?
She recommended you for a job
at a company like U&K, and you stole her man.
That's crossing the line.
I can't even deal with this.
-What did you say? -Hey.
If you're going to be mean after hearing one side of the story,
at least try to fact-check first.
Listen up.
U&K FOOD MARKETING ASSISTANT MANAGER KANG JI-WON
I'm an assistant manager at U&K.
I hear contract workers get cards too.
What's this? How can we trust you?
I joined the company seven years ago. When did Su-min join?
I remember recommending her in my second year as assistant manager.
-About last year? -That's right.
I asked about her cover letter, so it was early last year.
The strangest thing
is about Park Min-hwan.
He's my boyfriend.
PARK MIN-HWAN
SPEAKER
Hey, babe.
I'm at my school reunion. Did you call?
What?
I wanted you to have fun, so I didn't call.
I must've butt-dialed.
I see. That's great.
Say hi to my friends.
Friends?
Hello.
Hi, we're Ji-won's friends.
Are you really Ji-won's boyfriend?
Hello, I'm Ji-won's boyfriend. Park Min-hwan.
I didn't know Ji-won had friends other than Su-min.
Take care of Ji-won for me.
I should've said--
Hello? Hey?
What was that?
Good enough?
Ji-won!
-Where are you going? -You...
Hey, Kang Ji-won!
Yeah, fine.
But back in high school,
why did you tell her to dump her boyfriend?
Stop it, guys!
You shouldn't torment your friends. Don't!
So dirty!
I almost forgot.
That's so strange.
I did have feelings for Eun-ho.
Su-min never dated him.
Did you date Eun-ho?
Well...
I'm sorry, Ji-won. I couldn't tell you back then.
I knew you liked Eun-ho.
How could I tell you we were dating?
What are you talking about? You said I told you to dump him.
Then shouldn't I have known?
I made a mistake.
It was a secret relationship, so I didn't tell you.
Did I know or not?
How terrifying. Ji-won, you're scary!
You have no friends because of your temper.
-Why are you nitpicking? -You did the same, so I did too.
I didn't ask questions back then.
Did you forget how you tormented me for three years?
Even now, I showed you my card and explained everything.
And now you don't like my temper.
What if your card is fake?
Like the fake bag you brought tonight?
What the hell are you saying?
I went to the department store
and bought this in 12 monthly installments with my first paycheck!
Or not.
You're a funny one.
You call it fake based on an assumption
and now what? "Or not?"
Then what more should I say?
You should apologize and say you're sorry!
You should apologize to me!
You believed Su-min
and bullied me for three years.
Do you still want to do this at a high school reunion?
I understand.
You don't want to apologize because you just wanted to bully me. Right?
What are you saying?
I'm a very honest person.
So you're saying Su-min and Eun-ho didn't date, right?
The parties involved said they did. Who are you to say that?
I don't know about anything else...
But I can tell you one thing.
Su-min and I
never dated.
It's been a long time, Ji-won.
What are you talking about?
No need.
-I'm sorry. -Explain yourself.
This is a promise.
When you break it,
you must give a suitable reason. I can't understand it,
so how can I ask for understanding?
I can't explain.
It's not right,
so I can't do it.
Ji-hyuk,
you will inherit U&K Group.
As the CEO, is that what you're going to say to people
when you make important decisions?
Is that how you'll run the company?
If I take over, I'm sure no one will ask me to explain.
No matter how good you are,
you can't beat someone who works hand-in-hand with another.
Traditionally, a great man
must have a partner.
A great partner.
Do you think so?
Yes, even your father...
Young people these days
talk nonsense about how it's better not to get married.
Do you feel that way too?
Marriage...
is what I want.
There's someone I like.
Anyway.
That's that.
Do I know her?
Which family is she from? What's her name?
It's one-sided.
What?
I studied business as told.
I went to the US branch as told.
I joined the marketing team after you asked me to return.
I did everything you asked, Grandfather.
This time,
just trust me.
How dare you?
Did you think I wouldn't know?
When have you
ever done anything you didn't want to?
You listened to me because you didn't have your own dreams.
It was always like that.
Then you should know I'll go my way this time too.
What? You little...
I'm letting you know.
I like someone.
I don't want any issues with women.
Who is this woman he's fallen for?
Look into it.
He's never made a mistake before.
That's what scares me more.
People don't just turn over a new leaf like that.
True. He's not the kind of man who would be persistent
about women issues.
Then...
What about Chairman Oh?
I can't control my own son.
How can I control my grandson?
Apart from that, if he can't, he can't.
After his mother died,
he never spoke for long.
Why is he suddenly like this?
-Then... -Look into it.
The sooner we nip it in the bud, the better.
This is hard.
There's a high school reunion.
A high school reunion?
By chance, do I know you?
No, I just thought you should know about it.
Why would you tell me?
Do you remember Kang Ji-won?
I know there was a misunderstanding back then.
If it's okay with you, it'd be good to clear the air.
Misunderstanding?
No, wait. Who would it be good for?
It will benefit Kang Ji-won.
Please.
GOSEULJUNG
-Yes. -Sir, where are you?
-Are you on your way? -I'm on my way.
Isn't that Baek Eun-ho?
-It is him! -He's completely fine.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Wait, what are you doing here?
Actually, never mind.
Did you just say
you and Su-min never dated?
By the way,
did you like me?
Then why did you do that back then?
GOSEULJUNG
She dressed up like that
to go to the reunion?
Wait.
Stop.
What I mean to say is...
Sorry about that.
Let me wipe your hand.
What am I doing?
I have to go now.
Yeah. Okay.
No.
I want to say something.
I never liked you.
That was
just a slip of a tongue.
I...
had a crush on you!
From now on, I won't just foolishly stick to formalities anymore.
You're so pretty.
-I'm sorry. -It made him crazy.
You look really pretty.
You bullied her on your own, don't come at me!
Don't worry, my other half. This time, I really won't let it slide.
Mr. Yu. It's nice to see you smile.
I think Yu Ji-hyuk likes you.
Right. There was a scandal about them.
Shall I just tell Ji-won?
That Min-hwan will cheat on her with Su-min and hurt her.
