AWFULLY SCANDALOUS AND BRUTALLY GLAMOROUS
Do you know what it means to bring out alcohol in livestreams in this world?
An obvious strategy is hidden behind this trick, actually.
Ta-da. Look at this, my Gellattos.
Hello, everyone.
"I'm going to say something personal today."
"I can be tipsy on camera because I have nothing to hide."
"I'm no different than you. Our lives are basically the same."
That way, they try to win over your hearts.
But what I'm doing right now isn't an act.
I'm about to reveal the stories that were kept secret for a long time,
and I just can't do it without a drink.
LIVESTREAM DAY THREE
Are you all insane?
What's with all the livestreaming?
We can't sit still while Seo A-ri is acting up!
Exactly. We have to do something too.
That's exactly what that bitch intended, you idiots.
Idiot? Hey! I'm the one who told them to do it.
We're all on the edge here! Who do you think you are?
Great job. Just amazing.
You see this?
You see how many more viewers Seo A-ri got thanks to you?
You should have ignored it.
Who knows what she'll say? Why give her a bigger stage?
You naive, clueless bitch!
Alcohol,
personal thoughts,
the truth,
and secrets.
FUCKING ASS BITCH
Hello.
It's me.
Get them ready.
Well, right now, with Seo A-ri's livestream and everything,
that's a bad idea.
Just do as I say, you son of a bitch!
What do you think?
Aren't you curious how thrilling all those would be?
All right. Shall we add more hashtags, one by one?
Try not to get lost.
Graceful secrets
will overflow like a river.
#PANDORAS_BOX #THE_WORLD_THEY_LIVE_IN
Right here.
-Are there any more? -That will be it.
Wow.
These are all sponsored? Even the washer?
On top of that, she'll even get paid when she posts them on her feed.
Dang. She really made it.
What are you doing here?
On my last leave. Pay more attention to your little brother.
Hey, how about computers? Do you also get those sponsored?
What, so you can play games once you're out?
I'm not an ordinary gamer. I'm a genius-hacker-to-be.
Mom, I'm waiting for some jewelry to promote. One sec.
Hello?
I'll get it for you. You should get going.
You're here? I'll be out.
My dear sister!
A-ri! Please get me a new computer!
So? How much does she make?
Five mil a month? Or ten?
Who cares about five or ten million? The monthly income isn't everything.
Your sister might be climbing up the social ladder.
Social ladder?
-We're gonna be late. Let's hurry. -Okay.
Let's adjust the testing schedule that way,
and we'll keep tomorrow's breakfast meeting.
My guest is here. Let's continue in an hour.
Sorry, I'm five minutes late. My meeting ran late.
And this is?
-Oh, this is-- -Hello! My name is Yoon Jeong-sun.
I'm A-ri's friend and coworker.
It is such an honor to meet you, Mr. Han Jun-kyoung.
I see.
But was this something I agreed to beforehand, Miss Seo A-ri?
I'm sorry for not asking for your consent beforehand.
My friend couldn't get lunch because of the meeting.
I wouldn't make her eat alone--
We should go. I'm going to have to say no to this.
Then, enjoy your meal.
Let's go.
He must be so upset. What do we do?
One sec.
Mr. Han!
I understand you might be upset
because I brought my friend without asking you first.
But to say that to her face--
Promises must be kept, Miss Seo A-ri.
And one should be able to eat a meal alone.
Do you really think your friend can't eat by herself?
Getting another table at this hour won't be easy.
My house is nearby. Let's go there.
We need to have lunch.
You're not eating, like the last time. You're not hungry?
Or is it uncomfortable eating with me?
-If you don't like the food-- -No.
I was just thinking.
"How long did it take?"
"A month,
three months,
or a year?"
What do you mean?
I mean the lady at the door who took your shoes off.
How long did it take her to get it right?
I'm not sure how long, but it surely must have taken some time.
Mistakes are not allowed.
But I know that's not what you're really asking.
You're criticizing me, hating me,
asking yourself "How could he do this?"
To be honest, it has been like this since my earliest memories.
I thought everyone lived like this.
Later, I found out that wasn't the case, and I also felt a bit uncomfortable.
But I couldn't change the rules of the world I was in
and couldn't find a reason to either.
Couldn't find a reason, you say?
To them, this is a job, Miss Seo A-ri.
It might be surprising to hear,
but they are also proud of being a part of the upper-class world, supporting us.
It's true.
When I was very young, I learned that if I requested an adjustment,
they'd lose their jobs.
After that, I decided to just adapt.
So now, it doesn't bother me.
Was that a good enough excuse for your criticism?
I was shocked
but didn't mean to criticize you.
It's your life, not mine.
It has nothing to do with me.
On that note,
I will give you my answer to your previous question.
No, I will not date you.
Being different isn't wrong, but I don't have to like it.
It's a matter of preference.
This place, this life.
I know for sure that I don't want them.
I was going to say no from the start.
Why do you think I brought a friend to our lunch?
I didn't want to eat alone with you.
But I came all the way here
because I was curious what a chaebol's house would look like.
You can eat a meal by yourself, right?
Hello?

Don't treat people so frivolously like that.
You hurt them every time you do.
You didn't get hurt. You're fine, Yoon Si-hyeon.
Since I was the one who got hurt.
Yoon Si-hyeon…
Really?
Now even Yoon Si-hyeon is on Seo A-ri's side?

Oh my, Miss A-ri!
I came running, afraid I'd be late for my own meeting.
It's so, so great to see each other here, isn't it?
THE HOLY BIBLE
-Do you go to church? -You didn't know?
I was born into a Christian family. Jeongsu Church in Samseong-dong.
You know, the biggest church in Gangnam. I'm a deaconess there.
Oh, but religious topics are forbidden on social media.
Same with politics.
Keep that in mind. It doesn't help with sales at all.
Right.
This is the tea I sell.
It's the best for fat-burning.
But you have no fat to burn,
so I guess you wouldn't need it.
So, why did you want to see me?
Oh! Why else?
I just wanted to show you my studio
and become friends.
-With me? -Miss A-ri.
No, actually, A-ri. Let's just be on a first-name basis.
You're okay with that, right?
-First-name basis? -A-ri.
You can't make it alone in this world.
Networking is everything.
I'll help you and connect you with Chae-hee.
No, I--
Just do as I say and make up with her.
Let's just bury the hatchet!
Think about it. What good will it do you to have beef with other celebs?
Am I wrong?
Angela used to be a hostess?
BBBFAMOUS
She vehemently denies it, but it's true.
That's how she met that rich old pervert who shows off his wife's boobs online.
Their foul sides?
There's no end once you start digging.
Where do you think they get all that money they pour out?
I'm Angela. Nice to meet you.
They're all ranked S-plus, right?
They can't look fake at all.
There was this one crazy bitch who sent in a complaint.
She asked, "Is this fake, by chance?"
I marked them all.
Copy the designs with a little twist and send them in for manufacture.
Yes, ma'am.
#COPYCAT
Hi, honey, what is it?
And Oh Min-hye's husband slash moocher,
Kwon Myeong-ho, is rumored to scam people with supercars.
It's not confirmed, but yeah.
#SUPERCAR_SCAM
By the way, how do you know all this?
I've been curious. Can I at least know your name?
You helped me out, and we DM each other now.
I don't think it's good manners to not even know your name.
Honestly, I was a bit suspicious
of this complete stranger who offered to help me.
How does this person know all those secrets?
Who are they? What do they do?
In fact,
are they even true?
I'm a fan of yours, A-ri.
That's all that matters. Who I am isn't important, right?
I'm just someone who wants the best for you.
Why, you ask?
Someone like you must become successful, A-ri.
Someone who stands on their own, proudly.
Why is life so exhausting for some people
and too easy for others?
How unfair is that?
Some are just born into all these things.
All of those people,
they had their successful future laid out for them,
but they trample and look down on others as if they earned it.
A-ri, you can become as successful as them.
Unlike those that got it for free, you'll earn it with pride!
I'll help you.
I'm willing to do anything to help you, A-ri.
Yeah.
I thought that
maybe I could achieve that.
The things some people get as privilege or by cheating,
I wanted to earn them
proudly on my own.
Oh jeez!
Are you okay?
Why did you have to come to Dongdaemun this late?
You should be shopping at fancy malls now.
-What would you buy here? -I'm not here to buy.
I'm here to be.
Be? Be what?
Be successful.
Really successful.
FUCKING BITCH
My, if it isn't our princess Chae-hee!
How've you been?
I'll be there tomorrow. Have them ready, the good ones.
Tomorrow, you say? It'll be a little hard tomorrow.
-Saturdays are-- -I'll be there at about eight.
He-- Hello?
This fucking bitch…
She's still wet behind the ears and she hangs up on me?
-Hey. -Yes.
-Chae-hee's coming tomorrow. Get ready. -Yes, sir.
FUCKING ASS BITCH
Excuse me, do you have this in any other color?
I'll put in a preorder. Come back in a bit.
-Okay. -Excuse me, ma'am?
Can you help me with this?
Missus. If you're shopping, go to Doota across the street.
They only sell to retailers.
My goodness, I'm not a missus.
And I am also a retailer…
I'll take this sweater in all colors. Except for mint.
I don't think I've seen you around.
You're right. It's my first time here. Your clothes suit our style.
"Ari.&" is the brand name. No lemons, and get me a stub.
Give me a minute.
What was that? How do you know all those terms?
You think I came here without any preparation?
-My dad ran a textile factory, you know. -Right.
Sure.
How's business going?
Man, she doesn't take advice.
Hey, this is cute, look.
-With this… -Park, you coming?
I'm coming.
Oh? Min-hye, look at this.
Isn't this the girl who's always with A-ri?
Look at the feed. It says they went to Dongdaemun together.
-Dongdaemun? -Yeah.
Why would they be at a wholesale…
No way.
Is she trying to start an online shop?
At her level?
How's this? I took out the colors to make it look modern like you asked.
Hey, for the first time in my life, you're useful.
-You'll buy me a computer now, right? -Little--
If the shop's successful, she would buy you a whole Internet café.
A-ri, I want a Birkin. No, a Kelly.
-I like this one better. Work on that one. -Okay.
Jeong-sun, let's post that one right away and see if they like it.
A-ri, it's today at eight!
Chae-hee also wants to make up. Be sure to come. We'll be waiting.
The queen is here. Heading to the VIP room.
Damn, we're screwed.
Yes, sir, going on standby. The damn bitch is here, apparently.
Wow, how do you look prettier every time I see you?
What's all that flashy ruckus?
A proper welcome for you! All the peasants should kneel before you, no?
-Get each table a bottle, on me. -Okay!
The queen just bought us all drinks. Make some noise!
THE QUEEN IS HERE!
I'm feeling so shitty because of some bitch.
I'm letting it all out today. Are they ready?
Of course, as the queen requested.
Hey! Are you all ready?
She can't stand getting cut off. Remember that.
Compliment her young looks. You'll get picked and tipped. Be good.
-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!
Get moving! If you need makeup, do it fast.
-Hey, is it ready? -It's ready.
Get out of the way.
They taste like apricots? Really?
You get sick of the same ones after a bit, so I prepared some fresh ones for you.
And the quality? Is it good?
Whatever you expect, it's beyond that.
Awesome! Bring it over, right away.
Okay, you got it! Right away, boss!
Off you go.
None of you are going home tonight!
Chae-hee.
Get out of here!
You look so pretty today!
What is that?
Why is that thing here?
Come on, I called her over so you two can make up, Chae-hee.
You know, A-ri and us, we'll be seeing each other anyway,
so let's make up and--
"A-ri?"
"We"? Did you just… call me and that thing "we"?
Chae-hee!
What I mean is…
Damn!
You fucking bitch!
Why would I be seeing her?
How dare you pull this kind of shit without my permission?
A-ri!
A-ri, you can't leave like this!
What does this mean?
I thought Chae-hee wanted this.
Calling me over for a reconciliation that she didn't agree to,
what were you thinking?
Just wait a bit. There's a way.
I called you over because there is.
A way?
Just give her a second.
Chae-hee will calm down soon.
She'll be on cloud nine, and we can talk about it then.
Just what are you talking about?
Hey, hurry up.
I don't think being seen alone together would look good to the public.
Is that so?
Why did you want to see me?
Because of Seo A-ri.
How do you know her? Are you close to her?
I asked her out, and she rejected me good.
The more I see her, the more I wonder,
"What's with that woman?"
"She shouldn't act like that,
bad at picking words and worse at picking fights."
Maybe that's why.
I'm interested in her, but apparently, she hates me.
It's a little weird, though.
It feels strange.
It's not my first time being rejected,
but instead of accepting it and moving on, I keep thinking about her.
Even back when you suddenly left me…
I honestly had no clue.
You didn't give me an explanation
and just flew back to Korea out of the blue.
But I was fine.
I just moved on, thinking you must have had a reason.
Oh, just so you know,
I'm not saying I still want to know.
You haven't changed.
So you really think
that I'm the one that left you, huh?
That you were the one who got hurt.
I have a reservation under An Jae-hun for three.
Attorney Jin, you are here too?
I see, you aren't here to see Ms. Yoon.
She's here too, so I thought you were sitting with her.
She's here right now?
Yoon Si-hyeon, you and I both know what happened.
Are you saying my memory is wrong?
"You must have had
a reason," you said.
Yes.
I left you.
But the one who sent me away was--
Honey!
It really tastes like apricots.
The floor's apricots,
and the ceiling's apricots too.
Come in already!
It's all over by now. Look at her.
Chae-hee!
Who is this?
What was it?
Silly girl.
It's A-ri. Seo A-ri. You called her over to make up with her.
Make up?
-Did we fight? -Nope.
Pretty sleek.
You're good enough to follow me around.
Honey, the person you were seeing today was Jun-kyoung?
Yes.
-What are you here for? -A meeting.
Attorney An went in first.
Punk, how could you leave me out? You should've told me, at least.
I had to see her alone in secret to talk about private things.
Relay my message to Mr. Yoon. That I'll visit him in a few days.
Okay, I'll let him know and get back to you.
Hey, you only treat her like a friend when you need to ask for a favor.
APETSUICH.T; PTING9PENI;
Chae-hee!
What? What is it?
Honey.
She did it again?
The one next to her, that's Seo A-ri, right?
It's nearby. I'll head over.
Yeah, Attorney An. Can you cancel the meeting?
So call them right now. Hey, sorry, I gotta go.
Please leave a message after the tone.
Chae-hee, as soon as you hear this, delete your post!
You gotta sit properly!
This one's so good.
The best I've ever done!
They're insane.
Sit properly.
What was that for?
Are you insane? What is all this?
What's wrong? We're just having fun.
Don't you know how to have fun?
What?
The drugs?
A-ri, everyone does it here. If you don't, you're the dumb one.
Being able to do stuff like this is what makes us the upper class.
Upper class?
Are you saying that makes it okay to do drugs?
Girl! Do you think we're the same as the commoners?
We eat and wear differently,
so we should vent differently as well, right?
You're so lame.
That's when I realized.
"Whatever they do, it becomes a right for these people."
"This is the world they live in."
Ma'am, please wait!
Jin Chae-hee.
Jin Chae-hee!
Chae-hee.
You have to delete the post right now. Where's your phone?
Chae-hee!
You said being different isn't wrong, but you don't have to like it.
That it's a matter of preference.
I guess this kind of situation was what you preferred.
No, Mr. Han, this is--
I should probably respond to your rejection.
No, thanks for me too.
As for my preference, I abhor low-quality people.
Wait.
I said, wait!
Hey, man, wake up!
What's wrong?
Hey, you bastard, wake up, I said!
Hey!
Hey, kid! Kid, wake u--
What's wrong with him?
Quick, massage his body.
Hey, you bastard, come back, man!
He's not breathing.
Hey! What is wrong with him, man?
Wake up, man, come on!
That person's not breathing.
Keep massaging him.
We're screwed, for real.
What's wrong with him?
Punk! Hey, man, wake up!
Get out of the way.
-Epinephrine. -Sorry?
You don't have an emergency kit?!
We don't.
Si-hyeon, what's happening?
The drugs.
I think it's the drugs.
Hello? Is this 911?
A-ri!
What is this, are you crazy?
Are you trying to put us down?
Jin Chae-hee, that idiot finally did it.
-How is it? -We need to take him to a hospital.
Sir, what should we do?
-Get them out. They can't be seen. -Hey, take them through the back.
Stop spacing out, punk!
Hey!
Man, wake up!
-Honey, you should go too. -What about him?
I'll take care of it.
Hi, Dr. Kim.
-Is there-- -Honey!
Don't you know me? I'll take care of it, I said!
Yes! Right now, quickly.
It's drugs, and that's a person. We need to report this!
What, report? You crazy bitch, do you not see what's happening?
Even if you didn't do any drugs, you were with them.
You think you'll be fine?
Just get out of here when we let you out quietly!
