01x10 - Tears are Saltier than Water

[bunniefuu]

ROMANCE IN THE HOUSE

Just in case,

don't expect me
to do a good job and surprise you.

Okay.

It's only for three months.

Don't give me any brainwork.

I won't be able to do it anyway.

Understood.

Don't tell anyone that I'm your son.

Also, don't pester Ms. Byeon Mi-rae
in any way.

Okay?

Let's go.

My son.

Your son?

He's at the very bottom of the ranks,
so work him hard.

And his mentor will be...

Ms. Byeon Mi-rae.

Mr. Nam, this might be
a sensitive question,

but why did you pick Ms. Byeon
of all people?

Because Ms. Byeon is the ace
of the frozen food team.

He should be taught by a talented one
to learn fast.

Isn't that right?

Of course.

Well, then. Please take good care of him.

Have a good day, sir.

-Welcome, sir.
-Hello.

Father.

Father.

CEO Nam Chi-yeol!

If he comes to my office,
don't let him in.

Tell him that I went somewhere far
on a business trip.

Yes, sir.

So that handsome security guard was
the CEO's son.

I know. He showed up as an heir.

So the CEO's son
you saw in the elevator was

that security guard...

No, I must be insane.

I mean, it was that gentleman, right?

-Ms. Byeon is his mentor?
-Yes.

The CEO picked her specifically.

Hey, she'll hear us. Hush.

Ms. Byeon, your life will get
quite exhausting from now on.

Hyeon-jae, come on out.
I have something to say.

I don't need any pocket money.

It's one million won.

What is it for?

If you can use this money
to make even 100,000 won,

I'll fund your business
instead of paying your tuition.

Father.

Isn't this method
too tacky and old-fashioned?

You can't do it? Feeling unsure?

Then forget it.

I'll do it. I'll show you that

I'm not someone
who just tries to look cool.

The show won't get ruined
because of me, right?

Of course not.

Don't be so nervous. I'm on my way.

Okay.

Please don't tell Ms. Byeon about this.

Okay. See you later.

Do I really look good enough for this?

Forget it.

The daily wage is the same
as the weekly wage at the mart.

Let's go make some cash quickly.

I had forgotten about you.

You didn't buy it, did you?

Well, I wanted to,

but you'd scold me, so I rented it.

All right, then. Enjoy the drive.

Where are you going? Get in.

No, thanks.

And what's this?

I'm here to escort you.
I'm your manager for the day. Get in.

Don't be ridiculous.

Get in.

-Hey.
-Hello.

Why are you carrying an umbrella
on a clear day?

Isn't that a van for celebrities?
Is someone famous here?

You guys must've gone somewhere together.

It's the Family Villa Club.

We went hiking on a nearby mountain.

I called you guys in the morning,

but neither of you answered.

Well, then. Go get some rest.

You should watch J Home Shopping later.

The infomercial channel? Why?

Later on...

-Ae-yeon will...
-My goodness.

We have somewhere to be. Bye.

Come on.

I'll get in the van, so shut your mouth.

All right.

-Bye.
-Look at that.

EPISODE 10
TEARS ARE SALTIER THAN WATER

I told you to keep it a secret.

What on earth is this now?

I told you. I'll be escorting you today.

Please sit back and enjoy the ride,
Ms. Model.

Whatever.

I was an utter fool for telling you.

I'm heading out to a meeting.

I didn't think
he'd actually put me on this team.

I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner.

Are you mad?

I'm not mad.

You must've put a lot of thought
into this decision.

But,

I'm very thorough at work.
Will you be able to handle it?

I'll not go easy on you.

Of course.

Then I look forward
to working with you, mentee.

You too, mentor.

This will make
the before-and-after look dramatic.

I see.

Like this.

-Ms. Lee.
-Are you nervous?

Yes.

I took the job right away
because the pay is good.

But I'm sure you could easily
find someone better. So why...

Is it because I'm Mi-rae's mom?

Yes.

She's great at her job,
and she said she got that from you.

She said that you always
see things through until the end.

Ms. Lee, I'll do exactly that
and see it through to the end today.

All right. Let's do this!

Let's do this!

Ms. Lee.

Ms. Byeon.

I came here for a meeting
and heard that you were here.

Mom?

What are you doing here?

What?

I'm here for a part-time job.

A part-time job?

Thank you for your hard work.

Please, have a drink and...

What are you doing?

Hey.

I'm her manager.

What on earth...

Thank you for your hard work.

Here, please have a drink.
Director, please take good care of her.

Thank you. This drink's for you.

Please take good care of her.

You don't want one, right?

-Please make her look good!
-Okay. Thank you.

What's wrong? Are you nervous?

I shouldn't have taken this job.

You used to do this for me
when I was nervous before my game.

It really helped.

Don't worry.

You're the most beautiful woman
in this room.

And even if you mess it up,
you don't need to worry at all.

I'll buy all the products here.

The product that sold out
online and offline by word of mouth,

Plus Cushion Compact,
finally arrived at our channel.

So, we've prepared a deal for you!

Buy three and get three free.

Plus refills. You'll receive
a total of 12 cushion compacts.

Moisturizing on application,
with a smooth finish.

It's the perfect compact cushion
for women in their forties or higher.

Seeing is believing, right?

Shall we test the product right away?

She looks so tense.

No, I'm sure she'll do well.

She has to, and she will.

ART BEAUTY

My goodness!

He was right. She's really on TV.

Oh, my.

What is Ae-yeon doing there?

-Gosh.
-I can't believe it.

Our model here seems quite nervous.

What do you think of
the Plus Cushion Compact?

You used to do this for me
when I was nervous

before my game.

It really helped.

First of all,
it feels very smooth on the skin.

That's right.

It's because
it has hydrating essence in it.

Dabbing will add moisture and elasticity
to your skin.

Your skin tone changed
as soon as you applied our cushion.

Take a look.

When you reach middle age,

you find yourself doing makeup
with the lights off.

You know how it is
with the traces of time.

They're natural,

but they can make you a little sad.

You realize how much you've
put into your life,

but at the same time, seeing yourself age

can make you feel bad for yourself.

That's right.

A SERUM THAT LIGHTS UP YOUR SKIN!
GLUTATHIONE IN EVERY APPLICATION

But for the first time in a long time,

I'm happy to look in the mirror.

I feel like I've received a gift.

Has Ae-yeon always been so pretty?

Yes, she's just been
careless with her looks.

I'd like to order a set.

It's Yoo Se-ri. My number is...

Phone orders and automated orders
are pouring in.

At this rate, we might sell out soon.

It's incredibly popular today.
We'll run out of stock soon.

I guess people have been waiting.
I'm quite nervous too.

Plus Cushion Compact is now
completely sold out.

Thank you.

We'll try to process all the orders
from those currently waiting on the phone.

It's great to see that customers are
recognizing the quality of our product.

All the products are completely sold out.

We take our leave with your love.

-Customers, thank you.
-Thank you.

So that's what Geum Ae-yeon looks like

when she's not being a mother.

Ms. Geum, you looked
absolutely beautiful today.

You're too kind. I only caused trouble.

Still, I'm glad it sold out.

Ms. Byeon left early
due to her next meeting.

She probably left
so that I wouldn't be embarrassed.

By the way, would you hire me again?

I can be a substitute for other models.

Of course.

Soon, there'll be an infomercial
for our product.

Please be our model then too.

Okay.

I forgot to remove the makeup.

Stop staring.

I'm worried.

About what?

Men who saw you on TV and fell in love
might flock over.

You want to do this again?

Yes.

It really has been a while

since someone other than you told me
that I did well.

It feels nice.

Well, I think I should buy this van.

We'll use it often.

Don't you dare.

By the way, is there

something bothering you?

No.

You sure?

All right, buckle up. Let's go!

GANGMI BULGOGI

Enjoy your meal.

Mr. Park.

Why did you want to have
a welcome team dinner here of all places?

We could've gone someplace else.

I wanted to start anew here.

I apologize for what I did.

I humiliated you.

I was being a know-it-all boomer.

-It's okay.
-I won't make such a cliched apology.

I'll let my actions speak from now on.

I'll show you my and my team's sincerity.

Every team member,
especially the ace, Ms. Byeon,

will do her best as your mentor.
Isn't that right, Ms. Byeon?

-Yes, Mr. Park.
-I...

apologize for joining the team
rather abruptly.

I'll work hard not to be a burden.

I look forward to working with you.

Of course.

All of us welcome you passionately
with open arms.

When I propose a toast,
say, "Mr. Tae-pyeong."

Who do we have with us?

-Mr. Tae-pyeong.
-Mr. Tae-pyeong.

-Who inspires us?
-Mr. Tae-pyeong.

-May he be forever!
-Mr. Tae-pyeong.

-Welcome!
-Welcome!

My love for Tae-pyeong is

Unconditional

My love for Tae-pyeong is

as broad as the Pacific Ocean

Not any other oceans...

He seems like the type
who hates such things.

I know. I hope our team doesn't disappear.

I'll always run over

A round of applause!

-My love for Pacific Ocean is premium
-Okay.

Be careful.

I love you. Thank you.

My Pacific Ocean!

-Good night, sir.
-Good night, sir.

Mission accomplished!

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Thank you for your hard work, sir.

Thank you.

Shall I call you a taxi?
If you tell me your address...

It's okay. I can walk home.

That's good! I'll walk home too.

Which way are you going?

It'll take you two hours
to walk from here.

I'll drop you off.
My taxi will be here in two minutes.

As for me, the bus is still running.

I'll get going.

-Thank you.
-See you tomorrow.

Bye.

I'll get going too. See you tomorrow.

-Good work today.
-See you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

Okay. Thank you for your hard work.

Just two minutes left.

You did well today.

Do you often have these team dinners?

I couldn't stop them today
as it was your welcome dinner.

Sit next to me from now on.
I'll look out for you.

Let's go.

Cheer up, Mr. Nam.

This is just the beginning.

Let's go.

Well, is there any security camera here?

Is this real or fake?

It should cover this spot right here.

Then it's...

What are you doing?

I was passing by...

And decided to do a safety check.

I was just walking her home.

I should go now.

I never thought you'd date an athlete.

Not all athletes are the same.

Do you want to come in for a second
before you go?

Your mom did a lot of legwork
to find this place.

She wanted a safe and clean place

with cheap rent.

I heard you helped her.

Mom becomes extremely picky
when it comes to apartments.

Thank you for doing that.

Do you want a robot vacuum?

But I hear robot vacuums might leave
if they get too exhausted.

You bought the villa...

from the former landlord's daughter,
right?

Yes.

There weren't any issues or anything,
were there?

No, why?

I'm just asking.

Mom needs to live there for a long time,
so I wanted to check.

I can ride a bike pretty well now.

So...

Don't worry about me.

Okay.

I'll get going.

I just wanted to meet you.

To see what the daughter of the man
who made me cry looked like.

Who are you?

You'll find out soon.

It seemed like something was up.

PRESIDENT KIM'S DAUGHTER

This is Byeon Moo-jin.

It's morning! Wake up!

My own space.

Now I have my own place,

not just a room.

-Did you sleep well?
-Yes.

-How about you?
-I talk to Mom on the phone more often.

Are you keeping it clean?

Of course.

Hang on.

I think I talk to her more
than when we lived together.

Check out the photo I sent.

It's clean, right?

Hold on.

Medal, look over here.

How should I put it?

It feels a bit like
a long-distance relationship.

I got a new bed for this room.

You're all grown up now,
and I can't share a bed with you.

You know, I kept waking up
because of your snoring.

Hey, I don't snore.

Anyway, I'm going to
get ready for work now.

Okay. I'm going to have breakfast now.

Okay.

Right.

You looked good on TV.

You did well.

You looked cool, Ms. Geum Ae-yeon.

Looked cool, my foot.

You wanted to be a TV star
when you were young.

Who told you that?

Byeon Moo-jin, that punk.

Mom.

Now that you've kicked out
both Hyeon-jae and me,

you should do everything
you've wanted to do

but couldn't before.

Have a nice day at work.

Okay.

Let's go eat, Medal.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

Good morning. Good coffee.

Oh, thank you.

-It's cold but hot.
-I see.

I have a lunch meeting
with a CEO of a client company later.

You should come with me.

Me?

You can meet him,
enjoy some fresh air, and a nice meal.

Here.

Mr. Nam Tae-pyeong.

Yes?

Those are new office supplies,

and that's the supply room.
Please go and arrange them.

Listen, Ms. Byeon.

Ms. Na-ra is here too.

Mr. Nam is the newest member now.

Right.

Yes, ma'am.

-It looks heavy.
-No, I got it.

-Oh, Mr. Nam Tae-pyeong.
-Yes, Ms. Byeon?

You need to go help out
at the mart alone later.

-Can you handle it?
-Of course.

You know,

I can go help out at the mart.

Ms. Byeon?

I can do it. Ms. Byeon?

Should I go check on him at the office?

Will everyone feel uncomfortable?

Should I go sneak a peek?

I don't think that's possible, sir.

Right.

I wonder what Mr. Nam is doing right now.

What?

He's dancing.

Here you go. Take one each.

-Here you go.
-Thank you.

-Thank you. Enjoy it.
-It's tasty, right?

Mr. Nam Tae-pyeong.

How could you distribute so many samples?

I'm sorry.

When the children's attention is on you,

you must appeal to the parents
to increase sales.

You should've sold at least 50 packets.

-Okay.
-Next time,

make sure you remember that.

Yes, ma'am.

Ms. Na-ra, the samples are out
for the new product evaluation.

Okay. I'll go get them.

I'm the newest one. I'll go.

Where do I need to go?

No, I...

You can get them at the sample room
on the seventh floor.

Okay.

Ms. Byeon.

Go easy on him.

I need to teach him diligently.

The CEO trusted him with me.

Right.

Then let's play good cop, bad cop.
You can be strict.

And I'll be gentle.

Have I been too strict with you?

Yes.

But you look cooler when you get mad.

I'll buy you a nice dinner after work.

What are we having?

Anything you want to eat.

My father had fire insurance on his house.

But they denied the claim

after finding out
the fire wasn't an accident.

He set the house on fire himself.

Did you know?

-No.
-Okay, but you must know this.

INVESTMENT AGREEMENT

Dragon Investment or something.

He invested his entire fortune
and got scammed there.

You're the one who introduced it to him.

I heard you suddenly showed up one day,
acting like you've struck it rich.

With what money are you living so well?

Whose money is that?

-I'm sorry.
-For what?

If he hadn't met me,

he wouldn't have died.

So you can resent me all you want

until you feel better.

That woman contacted me.

I think she knows everything.

Your face is full of loneliness.

I think we're similar in that sense.

FIANCÉ SALON

Are you here to get a haircut?

Oh, yes.

Oh, no. I'm closing the salon early today.

Then I'll come back next time.

But

you're already here,
and I can't turn away a customer.

Let's go inside.

I'm sorry to trouble you

when you're busy.

Don't worry. It's no trouble.

I've been waiting for you eagerly.

"Fiancé Salon."

Is that the name since your first name is
a h*m* for "Fiancé"?

Yes.

Wait.

You didn't forget my name.

Well.

I'm good at remembering people's names.

I see.

Okay.

By the way,

how short do you want the front to be?

Just trim it, please.

The length...

Instead of paying for the haircut...

will you be my partner?

Your partner?

This is our monthly transaction statement.

We need to organize it every month
and send it.

It'll be your task from now on.

Firstly...

It was another passionate day.

Let's get off work.

-Okay.
-Thank you.

-Thank you.
-You need to get familiar,

so check out this statement first.

Okay.

Ms. Byeon?

-You should get off work.
-Oh, you should go first.

-Thank you for your hard work.
-See you tomorrow.

Mr. Tae-pyeong must be tired.

I'm okay.

Do you need my help?

No. It's okay.

Then I must take my leave
to meet up with a client, so...

-Good night.
-Bye.

Cheer up.

You can get off work after you finish it.

Okay. Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

Do you have a lot of work left?

I'll help you. Shall we finish it quickly
and get off work together?

The two newest ones.

It's okay. I'm nearly done.

Okay.

Come on out after 20 minutes.

-See you tomorrow.
-Okay.

You must've been surprised
because I suddenly made you his mentor.

Yes.

I was surprised, but it's okay.

Is Tae-pyeong adjusting well?

He's adjusting and learning quickly.

I see.

What is he learning exactly?

He's doing the tasks
that are meant for the newest recruit.

I see.

That's right. He's the newest recruit,

so he should do
what the newest ones do. Right.

Yes.

Now that I've gotten him
to join the company,

please help him stick around
for the long haul.

Ms. Byeon.

Can you do that?

It's beyond my power,

so I can't make that promise.

That's true.

But since you've trusted me,

I'll take responsibility as his mentor
and teach him well.

Okay. Please take
good care of him, Ms. Byeon.

Yes, sir.

I thought she was dating Tae-pyeong.

I'm glad I put him under her care.

The fact that the CEO had a son
was a surprise.

And he even made a supervisor his mentor
instead of a team leader?

Who's she?

Byeon Mi-rae of the frozen food team.

Byeon Mi-rae?

Come on. Mr. Nam complimented her
for being smart.

-Oh, her?
-Yes.

Isn't she a bit of a show-off?

Yes, she is a bit...

What is it?

-That's her, right?
-Yes.

You're having the same thought
as me, right?

Yes. It sure looks like
they've been together awhile.

GANGNAM HOF'S FIRST ANNIVERSARY!

Hello.

-Jeong-in.
-Congratulations on the anniversary.

As a present, we'll drink a lot today.

-Let's go.
-Okay.

Come on.

-Hello.
-You're here.

Isn't that President Byeon's errand boy?

He's a tax accountant.

She's seduced him after all.

It's the first anniversary present.

And this is for you, Jeong-in.

A reflection of my feelings.

Thanks.

Well, then. I'll take my leave now.

What's up with him?

All right. Shall we clink our glasses?

Cheers.

It's the first anniversary party.
You must come.

Everyone's waiting for you.

Go ahead and eat.

What are you doing?

I'm just chilling at home.

Are you drinking alone?

You're sharp.

Is everything really okay with you?

Ae-yeon.

I'm sorry.

For what?

That I'm stupid Moo-ron.

Don't worry.
You're not as bad as you used to be.

No.

It was such a long

and difficult journey for me

to make it back here.

What?

And both in the past and now,

I ruin things...

whenever I try to do something.

Byeon Moo-jin.

If I ever feel like

I might mess things up
for our family again,

I'll leave you.

Is he just being drunk or what?

Here's your order.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Please enjoy the food.

All right.

Open wide.

-Hurry up. Open wide.
-But...

What are you doing?

I'm comforting my boyfriend
who got hounded by his mentor.

I see.

In that case, can I complain about
getting hounded by my mentor?

Of course.

Okay. Today, my mentor...

I cannot believe her!

Who is she to pick on my boyfriend?

Tell her to meet me on the roof.

On the roof?

What? Isn't that your father?

He must've been drinking.

You can tell?

-Nam, I'm here.
-Hey.

-Father is here too.
-Hello.

-You came before I began calling again.
-Hey!

-You're here!
-Hurry up and sit here.

Bring the chairs.

All right. Grab that chair.

I told you to come sooner.

-Pour him a glass.
-Here.

Thank you.

Let's get up after drinking this.

-Why?
-Come on.

-Did you drink a lot?
-Yes, we did.

Did the two of you have a fight?

You should've come sooner.

-Sit down.
-Yes, sit down.

Shall we clink our glasses to celebrate

-President Byeon's arrival?
-Yes.

-President Byeon!
-President Byeon!

-What?
-President Byeon.

We're going to move out.

Move out? Why would we do that?

I can't live here anymore.

I'm scared.

Did he drink a lot?

He drank so much.

Mr. Lee, stop drinking. Ms. Yoo.

Hold on.

What's this about?

Did something happen?

Did they have a fight?

No.

I'm anxious
that something bad will happen.

-What's up with you today?
-Seriously.

-I can't believe you.
-Tell me.

There must be a reason.

-I'm scared.
-Why are you crying? This is insane.

Ma'am, who are you?

I should've known when you asked me

to sell the villa for a cheap price
with the talk of an inheritance tax.

The former landlord, Mr. Kim's daughter.

You damn b*stard.

What are you...

I'm sorry.

Father.

What's going on?

It's true, right?

You and that man teamed up

and scammed my father.

You scammed my father into investing
and stole his fortune.

With that money, you bought his villa.

With that money,
you're acting like nouveau riche.

Give them back.

Give back Father and his money.

Give them back, you swindler!

Oh, my.

-Let go of him.
-You swindler!

Let go!

-What are you doing?
-Mom.

-Let go.
-I won't.

Seeing as how you aren't saying a thing,

you must've done something wrong.

But...

he can't be a swindler.

What?

Had he done something like that,

he wouldn't have come back to us.

How can you be so certain?

How can you believe him?

He's my family.

Byeon Hyeon-jae.

What do you think?

Of course, I think the same.

He's my father.

I believe in him too.

Moo-jin.

-Wait.
-Let go of me.

Let go of me!

-Let's...
-Let go of me!

You should talk to me.

I will

explain everything.

A few months ago,
Moo-jin suddenly came to see me.

He said he came into a lot of money
and he wanted to buy Family Villa.

Family Villa?

I can't do that.

I'm waiting for redevelopment...

That was when

we began visiting Mr. Kim often.

There are many other buildings.

You're right.

But for me, it has to be that villa, sir.

No. I'm going to pass it down
to my daughter.

At the time,

many people asked Moo-jin
to invest in their companies.

Sir, could you please reconsider...

President Byeon?

-That punk was one of those people.
-It's you.

What a coincidence.

Moo-jin tried not to get involved
with them in the first place.

I'm Jung Jun-yong of Dragon Investment.

-Sir, here you go.
-Okay.

What a small world.

I'll invest.

Wait.

Please think about it

-one last time.
-Moo-jin tried to stop him.

President Byeon takes us for fools.

Don't worry. We won't blame you.

KIM MYEONG-KYU

OH JAE-GEOL

I asked you to meet up with me
before you went to Moo-jin

in order to tell you this.

Because Moo-jin would think
that this was an excuse,

not an explanation.

So?

What do you want me to do?

Perhaps you needed someone to blame.

Because I did.

Even though I knew
that it wasn't his fault,

even though I knew he'd feel guilty,
I just wanted to...

blame him for everything.

So that

I could breathe.

You already know the truth, don't you?

Mr. Kim

didn't set his apartment on fire
to commit suicide.

He passed away

because he started the fire
to claim insurance money

and failed to get out in time.

The beneficiary of insurance

was his daughter, Kim Sang-hyeong.

You want me to pay off your debt?

DEMAND FOR PAYMENT

Please help me, Father.

My children and I are about
to end up on the street.

-You're asking me to sell the villa?
-You've got a lot of money.

You never spent a penny on your family.

You kept it in your clutch.

You're not going to help me
this time either?

Fine.

I'll pay off your debt.

Thank you.

You're right.

You're right.

I just needed

someone to blame.

I wanted to k*ll myself, you know.

The last time I saw my father's face
kept haunting me.

I'm sorry.

If

he hadn't come back to us,

would I have also

resented him and blamed myself?

What are you doing?

Is there money on the ground?

Let's go.

Will you spend the night here?

Do you remember

what you used to say to me the most?

"Hey, you Moo-ron."

"Don't do anything."

"Don't do anything."

I should've listened to you.

I ruined it again.

No, you didn't.

You didn't ruin it.

Remember?

A long time ago, a bat girl

sang a song to seduce a cleanup hitter.

I can feel it

I can feel that you like me

I've known it from the start

When I saw you

By my side

Oh

My heart I've fallen in love

Now I know

You're the one I want to be closer

I can't keep my heart in control

Oh, please, tonight, let this be...

Was my singing that touching?

Yes.

So singing didn't work.

Let's stop crying and go home.

ROMANCE IN THE HOUSE

-Let me do it.
-Stop.

You two became quite close.

My friend sent me a post
from a workers' community.

-I think it's about you and Ms. Mi-rae.
-I'm sorry.

Why did you do that earlier?

I was too inconsiderate.

I should've been more careful
not to cause Ms. Mi-rae any trouble.

You broke the seal.

I'm going to do it
whenever I feel like it.

Can you please just tell me

how you made the money now?

I held out until that b*stard
finally showed up before my eyes.

I only had one chance.

I wanted to find him no matter what
and give it back to you.
