ALL LOCATIONS, CHARACTERS,

ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

DEPICTED IN THIS DRAMA

ARE ENTIRELY FICTITIOUS

It's such a shame about today, sir.

I swear I almost hit it.

Sir, why don't we go around

to check out the other side?

One of my managers got into some trouble

and has been arrested by the police.

For something personal.

It has nothing to do with the club.

But…

I think our chatrooms

have been exposed to the police.

So…

they must've figured out

how much we charge per table,

so we'll have to

declare our real income, sir.

Then…

we'll just have to raise the price.

Yes, sir.

-One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!

-One, two, three! Rock, paper, scissors!

-Yes!

-Yes.

-Hello?

-Damn it.

You can reserve a table now.

All right, I got it!

DAILY SALES REPOR

TOTAL REVENUE

UNREPORTED CASH INCOME

LEDGER

I'll make sure you have fun…

The hosts are coming in!

Go on in.

Well…

There are quite a few unpaid bills lately.

By the guests or by the managers?

Hey, man.

Bring me the ledger.

Hey, send the managers in.

Yes, sir.

You gambled with the boys, didn't you?

Hey…

Are you serious?

I quit gambling ages ago.

I really didn't do it.

When did you become a manager?

Three months ago, sir.

And you have this many unpaid bills?

What's this? 1,2 million won?

A customer changed her number

and ghosted us.

And the hosts don't know anything?

Even if we find them,

I doubt they have any money.

It's two women, who came in at times

with their salary.

They always paid

with several credit cards.

You put them on the tab

knowing they were going to ghost us?

Chun-ja…

Chun-ja!

-Did you call me, sir?

-Call Ssaebi over.

Ssaebi's gone to Busan today

to collect money, sir.

You took a picture of their IDs, right?

-Yes, sir.

-Follow me.

-Damn it.

-Full house.

Are they coming or not?

-Pay up, come on.

-Just not my day.

Thank you.

Tell me everything you know about her.

Why does the boss

call you random names?

Like "Chun-ja" or "Mal-ja."

Well, I changed my name, you know.

And I don't think

he likes that name very much.

What's your new name?

Don't tell me…

"Bin"?

It doesn't have "bin" in it, does it?

Damn it.

Watch it, you b*stard.

I'm sorry.

-Here.

-Hey, you know her?

Oh, this girl?

She slips into a really strong dialect

when she's drunk.

The one that came with that big girl?

Girls who are afraid of others finding out

always come with the same friends.

That's right.

They didn't look that close,

but they always came together.

Didn't she say she works

at a dermatology clinic?

-A cosmetics store.

-Right. Cosmetics.

Where?

It was an old neighborhood.

Right. A department store

in Myeong-dong, sir.

She said she worked there.

I'll show you how I became a manager

in just two weeks and the boss in a year.

Just watch.

There she is.

Can't you see her?

To your right, 1 o'clock.

You over there, who drank

at a host bar and ran off without paying!

You, I'm talking to you.

Hey.

Did you enjoy drinking

with those pretty men for free?

Look at me.

I said, look at me.

Give my money back, you b*tch!

Please choose the service you require.

PLEASE ENTER YOUR PIN

INCORRECT PIN

Good night, sir.

WE PROVIDE THE BEST SERVICE

Are you hungry?

Your mom's here! Time to go home.

Where are your clothes?

You b*stard! Are you serious?

How dare you bring our baby here?

Just leave with the baby.

You crazy b*stard!

Let go! Let go of me, woman! Let go!

Come out, you b*stard!

-What the hell's wrong with you, woman?

-What?

-Can't I drink in this kind of place?

-What makes you think you can?

Where did we put the jacket?

I'm the head of the household!

You don't even earn much!

What's wrong with you?

Here's your jacket. Let's get you home.

All right.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Come here. Good boy.

Oh, dear.

"Bye-bye, mister."

You should have dinner, sir.

You haven't eaten anything today.

If you eat at 4 a.m.,

is it dinner or breakfast?

I think it's dinner if you eat

before you go to bed,

and breakfast if you do after you wake up.

Did you eat yet?

The new cook's food is very good.

Why don't you try it?

Have you ever seen a baby?

A baby.

A baby…

Not in a while.

Why do you ask?

This one time,

a baby came to the club.

Some as*h*le brought his kid.

It must have felt as if a bird flew in.

Dig in.

She said you seemed

to like sweet potato stems.

So she sent some.

Good morning, sir.

Mi-jeong!

Yeom Mi-jeong!

Did you call me, sir?

Mi-jeong.

Yes, sir.

What do you want to do?

Sir?

I want to be in a really good mood,

but I have no idea what I should do.

So I'll let you do what you want to do.

What do you want?

Is there anything

you wish to happen today?

Is there anything like that?

Yeom Mi-jeong!

Go on, tell me.

I want to go home!

I want to go home

back to Naju, sir!

I'm going home!

SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY

I took a look at what you submitted

to apply for a permanent position.

But this Green Card booklet,

do you think it can be

included in your portfolio?

You can't honestly say

you did it on your own.

You can't take credit for it.

Don't you think?

I attached it because I was asked

to submit everything I've worked on here.

And since I also attached

the new design plan,

I think it shows quite clearly

how much

my work contributed to the design.

Then tell me. How much

did your work contribute to the design?

The least he could do is help.

He's terrified you might become

a permanent employee. b*stard.

He's afraid

that you might win the contest.

I'm jealous of your permanent position,

but to think you'll have to

keep seeing him…

So what will you do?

You'll have to see him every day.

Who do you think will last longer here?

You've gotten c*ck,

Ms. Design Contest Winner.

We don't know that yet.

I'm sure you'll win.

Have you heard?

Mr. Choi is having an affair.

-Really?

-With a girl who works here.

Gosh…

God, I feel so cold and lonely.

Use the feelings you saved in summer.

Remember how we stored them up

when it was super hot?

Gosh, no.

I'll use them when it gets colder.

So-ra's grandma called earlier.

She wanted us to ask Mr. Gu

what she should do with the house.

He already paid rent for a year,

so she wants us to ask whether she should

leave it empty or if she can rent it out.

Why did he leave in such a hurry

without telling his landlady?

It seems he's changed his number.

But you're still in touch, right?

I don't know, either.

Why not?

Can't you reach him?

I don't try to.

When I get frustrated,

I go out for a walk at night thinking,

"I don't care if I die tonight."

I walk through a pitch-dark mountain.

What's the big deal

about some guy leaving?

He ran because he was

afraid of being happy.

Tonight, I have nothing to fear.

I'll become a warrior.

Bring it on, you damn mutt.

You ungrateful mongrel.

Do you know

how many sausages I've given you?

I want to bleed like a fountain.

When I wander around aimlessly,

I can catch the briefest glimpse.

"So that's what is in my head."

The feeling of being abandoned.

When they first told me it was cancer,

I thought, "Right, I haven't taken care

of my health. I should get it together."

And when I relapsed, my first thought was,

"Don't let Hyeon-a go."

"It's going to be tough this time.

I need her."

Even if I'm going to hell,

I don't think I'll be afraid

as long as you and Hyeon-a are there.

I guess I know

why people used to be buried alive.

Even emperors

who ruled over everything were afraid.

Let's all go together.

Why do I have to follow you there?

It's not like we dated.

The whole time I was with Hyeon-a,

it felt like I was

in a relationship with you, too.

When I hadn't even met you once.

She talked about you all the time.

Who likes hearing his girl

go on about some other guy?

Though she kept denying

that there was anything between you.

You might not feel anything for her,

but I'm sure she does.

Are you sure you're sick?

I'm excited, imagining us all

going to hell together.

I said I'm not going!

I'm not following you there.

-Are you nuts?

-I'm free to dream, aren't I?

I've got a great imagination.

We'd have fun together even in hell.

What a smooth talker.

Why do you drag me into this?

We're not that close.

Why do you think it's about us?

It's about you and Hyeon-a.

The medicine has improved,

so I haven't lost much hair.

Is your hair

your biggest concern right now?

What about you, then?

You're worried your dad will

scold you, in front of a cancer patient?

It's not that big a deal.

You're here?

Looks like you partied hard tonight, too.

See you tomorrow.

Thank you, get home safe.

Take the glitter off your face at least.

Gosh, you reek of alcohol.

Get up already!

Aren't you going to work?

Why aren't you washing up?

What an idiot. Gosh.

Be quiet. I'm already annoyed.

When will you tell them?

-I will.

-When?

For God's sake…

-Mom, this brat quit his job!

-Hey!

SANPO SINKS

Damn it!

People are waiting.

Let's talk to him after we're done.

I don't know anymore.

I'll be dead meat later.

Whenever I wanted to quit,

I'd think,

"Maybe after the summer vacation."

"Maybe after Chuseok."

Then I'd think,

"I'll be lonely at the end of the year."

"And working isn't so bad in spring."

And another year would go by.

I mean,

I'm not like A-reum, a greedy workaholic

whose only goal is making money.

I think I've come

far enough.

This isn't the right path for me.

I don't have to force myself

to keep walking on it.

You don't need to explain yourself to me.

As if I don't understand.

To tell you the truth,

I don't have a specific goal in my life.

Money, women, honor… Nothing.

But…

do I…

have to have a goal?

Can't I just live my life without one?

I can't force myself to live

for something I don't really desire.

I wish I had an older brother.

Then I would be able to live as I wished.

He doesn't exist,

but I miss him.

Did someone die or something?

He's worked at that company

for eight years. That's enough.

It's hard to get a job somewhere else

after you turn 40.

The younger you are, the better.

Young people these days

move from one job to another really often.

Staying at the same job for long

isn't considered a virtue anymore.

How do you know what suits you better?

You have to try different workplaces.

So?

What's your plan?

I'm not going to do anything

for a little while.

How long is a little while?

Dad…

Can't you treat me

even half as well as you treated Gu?

You'd worry about Gu

if you hadn't seen him in a while.

"Is he sick? Did he eat?" But to me…

I know I'm not a perfect son or anything.

But I haven't done

anything I'm ashamed of.

There are so many bad people out there,

but I've never done anything

to be an embarrassment to you.

The thing I brought home the other day.

I said it was from the company,

but it was from the store owners

who heard I was quitting.

There are even people who promised

to gift me 500,000 won when I get married.

But do you think

they were all nice from the beginning?

No, I had to work really hard!

You work with machines.

You don't have to talk to anyone,

so you have no idea

what it's like to work with people.

But I still never lost my temper

or got myself into trouble.

They even gave me gifts.

That should be enough!

It's not like I'm going

to idle away for the rest of my life!

"You've worked really hard."

"Take a break."

Can't you just say that?

It's huge!

Look at this.

-Amazing!

-Check this one out!

-Mom.

-Dad,

-What?

-look at this.

What's that? Hey, wait. Stay there.

Oh, my God.

Hey, take a picture of us.

Mom, look.

Look this way.

One, two, three.

Let's take a group picture.

-Shall we?

-Yes.

One, two, three.

One more, smile!

Look.

-Sweet potatoes keep coming out.

-They grew so well.

That's odd.

It's right next to ours.

Why did theirs grow so poorly?

-Look at this.

-Gosh.

Just because you farmed for long

doesn't mean you're good at it.

You need to learn the know-how.

Exactly.

These days, it's easy to learn things

-Yes.

-Goodness, we'll be rich.

All right.

-Dad, this is seriously awesome.

-There's more here. Good.

-Take a picture.

-One, two, three.

These are seriously huge!

Don't!

How dare they…

Fine, let's do it.

Let's go!

Nice!

Please, don't!

Nice one, Dad!

We almost caught up with them, Dad!

Yes, let's go.

Dad, step on it!

Step on it, Dad!

Dad…

-Christ…

-My goodness.

Be careful!

Gosh…

-Are you okay, Mom?

-You little…

Hey, what…

-You should have stopped him!

-Wait…

-"Step on it"? You idiot!

-Hang on.

Step on what?

-Wait, Mom.

-Step on what?

Are the sweet potatoes really

the priority right now?

God, I can't believe it.

-I can't believe it, you brat!

-Stop, Mom.

-It hurts.

-You!

For the love of God.

Poor me, I have to cook

even after crashing into a rice paddy.

Sell the field

whether or not

you hire someone for the factory.

Farming is too much.

Tending the crops that grow like crazy,

sowing and harvesting them…

God, I can't do it anymore.

You just eat, put down your spoon,

and go back out to the field

or the factory.

But I have to follow you around

coming in and out of the house

dozens of times to cook for you.

And it's not like I have any days off.

It's 365 days a year.

I had a day off

when we used to go to church.

But you couldn't even let me have that

and stopped going.

I'm going to start attending church again!

Goodness, what's wrong with me?

Why am I sweating so much?

Did you finish work?

Well, something suddenly came up.

I think I'll be a bit late today.

Then I'll go first and wait for you.

Well…

I think I'll be done quite late.

If it gets too late, I can just go home.

Don't worry about me

and focus on your work. Bye.

On days like this, just go home early!

You'll fall sick, dating that hard.

How can you go

and see him every single day?

It's close by, anyway.

I tried imagining it.

If I were your age

and my dad got a girlfriend…

I'd hate it too.

What would that lady have to do

for me to like her?

I'd hate it if she tried hard

to get close to me,

and I'd hate it if she treated me

like a thorn in her side, too.

I could reluctantly accept her

if she were a selfless, independent woman.

So today, I tried to look like

a selfless, independent woman,

chattering away by myself,

but all those words I said

to make you accept me

didn't seem to work at all.

So I'm a bit sad.

I'm going to start crying.

Hi. You're back late.

Where's your Auntie Hui-seon?

She went to the store.

And left you here alone?

What about your dad?

He says he'll be late.

Why are you here every day?

Do we owe you money or something?

I'm not leaving.

Not until I see Tae-hun.

Think carefully.

It's not easy to raise someone else's kid.

Even raising my own kids

drives me up the wall.

That's because they're your own kids.

Do you know how much

you can hate someone else's kid?

I didn't say we're getting married!

We're just dating!

Goodness me, just dating?

Once you get attached, that's it.

For God's sake.

I should have cut him off then and there.

He would've found someone else to marry.

Why did I feel sorry for him

when he looked so down?

Now I'm his personal cook.

I'll just stop by and take a look.

I'll be able to tell

if he's the one for you.

Forget it!

I can just walk past

and take a quick look.

Before it's too late.

Seriously!

-Yes,

-Thanks.

This place used to be really small.

It seems they've expanded it.

We used to come here a lot

when I was living with my aunt.

I think Gyeong-seon told me.

Really?

I heard the sujebi here is really good.

-Yes, it really is.

-I see.

I'm reminded of how

I used to have them when I was little.

Plus, octopus is pretty healthy, I hear.

Yes.

I still have the memories

of eating here when I was little.

-I see.

-Yes.

I ordered a seafood pancake for you, okay?

And I paid the bill.

Enjoy your meal.

Okay.

-The food's good here.

-I see.

Who…

Shall I order something else, too?

No, it's fine, thank you.

Who was that?

-My mom.

-What? Gosh, your mother?

No!

Damn it, she was supposed

to act like she didn't know me.

Hello.

Long time no see!

Did you go somewhere today?

Yes, to see someone.

I heard you're selling your field.

Yes. Gosh, I can't do it anymore.

Of course not, at your age.

You've got the factory

and the chores at home.

If you marry a workaholic,

it's the woman who suffers.

Exactly…

Hye-suk!

Did you find your dog?

-Sorry?

-Your family dog.

-Did you find it?

-What?

When have we ever had a dog?

What?

A while ago, I saw Mi-jeong

crying her eyes out,

and when I asked her what was wrong,

she said she lost her dog.

It was about a month ago.

-Three of these, please.

-Sure.

If it wasn't a dog, what was it? A goat?

Your percentage has gone up even more.

Yeom Mi-jeong is moving in

for the final blow.

VOTE

YEOM MI-JEONG:

WHERE ARE YOU?

YEOM MI-JEONG:

WHY ARE YOU TAKING SO LONG?

YEOM MI-JEONG:

I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG

YEOM MI-JEONG:

HURRY UP

YEOM MI-JEONG:

I MISS YOU!

YEOM MI-JEONG:

I MISS YOU!

Yeom Mi-jeong!

Ms. Contest Winner, are you heading home?

Are you bailing on us?

Let's party hard tonight.

You're the winner,

so you can party super-duper hard,

and I'm the runner-up, so just super hard.

What do you want to do?

Is there anything

you wish to happen today?

No.

-Why does she always turn us down?

-Why not?

Come to me.

I want you to come to me.

SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY

SOMETHING GOOD WILL HAPPEN TO YOU TODAY

He's coming.

He came.

He is…

waiting for me.

Can I help you?

Right, well…

Is this…

Is this not Yeom Je-h*'s house?

Yes, it is.

What brings you here?

Honey, come out here!

Someone's here!

You're here.

So he's Mr. Gu.

Gosh, I'm going to cry at this rate.

Goodness me.

Not long after you left,

she passed away.

That fall.

She went into the bedroom

to lie down for a bit

but didn't wake up again

and passed away.

Leaving the rice cooker on.

The rice is burning!

Gosh.

The rice is all burned.

Mom?

The rice is all burned.

Mom!

Mom…

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Dad!

Dad!

Dad!

Even when you don't know how you'll go on,

if you pull yourself together…

you can still find things

that are bearable.

The kids went through a lot.

The three of them

have all gone to live in Seoul.

YEOM MI-JEONG

Yeom Mi-jeong…

MY LIBERATION NOTES

Do grownups get sad, too?

When their moms are gone.

I don't even care if we're family.

I won't see you again!

So now, she would be blameless

if she decided to move out.

Is this Yeom Mi-jeong?

This is Choi Jun-h*'s wife.

I knew he was having an affair.

And with whom.

Hey. What are you doing?

Why are you ignoring me

after proposing to me?

Hyeon-a won't say yes, anyway.

Gu.

Where are you now? How are you doing?

How could she not know

the name of the person she dated?

I thought you'd be able to

if you really wanted to.

Why does it feel like it's like you?
