Ji-won, that little...
Kang Ji-won!
Damn it!
Why was that for? It hurts!
It's your fault. Why are you throwing a tantrum?
-Stop acting like a child. -What did I do?
Are you serious right now?
How could you bring such an impudent brat?
She's normally nice!
She must have been possessed. Whatever!
Goodness...
You just got hit by a woman. You still run your mouth.
You see one, you've seen it all.
I told you home discipline was important countless times!
This happened because you didn't listen to me.
What will you do about this?
-God... -What will you do?
Stop it!
Darn it. She doesn't know anything.
Ji-won went crazy. What does she expect me to do?
Ji-won, you're dead.
Ji-won, come out!
Did you think I'd just let it go?
I've been too easy on you! Know your place! Stop messing around!
I know you're inside.
Come out! Now!
Hello...
Ms. Kang, what are you wearing?
Was I bad?
Are you punishing me? Like in a naughty way.
No, it's not that...
I had something to refund today, so...
Then the outfit's perfect.
-Was it a success? -Yes.
This is his first time to a housewarming.
So I told him to buy tissues and detergent as gifts.
I don't know about those flowers, though.
I love flowers.
What... What the hell?
What uncultured fool yells like this?
Wait a second...
This is the right number.
-Ji-won's brother? -What are you saying?
Yes, hello, sir.
You were working out.
This is where my girlfriend lives.
I think I was mistaken.
Girlfriend?
The last tenant was a woman.
Wait...
The last tenant?
It's the perfect size for newlyweds.
But why rent?
Mr. Park went on about how a man should own a house.
I hear you pay the rent to my brother.
Don't pay it.
He won't know. He doesn't check his account.
This place was for me anyway.
That's different.
Why here of all places, though?
Your boss lives in the building. It'll be so uncomfortable.
This to the bedroom?
Yes. Thanks.
Take it easy, okay?
-Bye! -Get home safely.
Bye, Hui-yeon!
Bye.
Even though you were born into a life where you can't live your own way,
I didn't think a business marriage was right.
So when you called the wedding off with Yu-ra, I was glad.
Is there another reason?
I mean, Ji-hyuk, by any chance,
if you have feelings for someone
who's very important to me...
What are you worried about?
I might do something with Ji-won?
Well...
Do what? She's getting married.
There. Now, go home.
Ji-hyuk...
Nothing's going on, and I won't do anything.
She's a good person, so I want to help.
Also, I'm grateful that she's nice to you. Happy now?
Go home.
But I've never seen him like that.
Damn it...
Mr. Park.
What's wrong?
-Did you have a good weekend? -Yeah.
You look great.
Hey, Ji-won. You...
Are you insane?
-What's going on? -Oh, no.
Why are you hitting me?
Why you...
That's enough.
You did nothing when she hit me.
Why are you so unfair?
Did you share your love with two women because you like being fair?
Ms. Kang, let's go.
Just a minute.
I should confront the cheater.
-What? -Panties?
Whose is this?
I found it in your car.
How could you go through my car?
How dare you shout? You cheater!
Did you hear about Park Min-hwan?
-He cheated on Kang Ji-won. -Really?
You know Park Min-hwan, right?
From marketing!
-He cheated. -What?
And they did it in a car...
What?
A car? They did it in a car?
Big news!
I can't believe it.
Rumors spread to HR?
That's huge news.
I swear...
What will they do?
"Man cheats in seven-year relationship."
"Panties were thrown."
When Mr. Park tried to hit her,
-Mr. Yu stopped him. -Red panties.
Everyone, U&K's icon...
has returned.
It was red.
It's like a soap opera.
I don't watch TV. I get my fix here.
So that's why she did that to my mom.
What do I do?
Girls like her are scary.
You can't manage your panties?
They're not mine.
What?
Those aren't yours?
But I did it only with you in my car.
If they're not yours, why were they there?
What the hell is going on?
What happened?
Whose are they?
What are you saying?
Damn it!
I knew he'd take the bait.
They don't belong to Su-min,
but I chose panties you'd love.
Are you okay?
I'm so sorry.
Just a moment.
Hey, Eun-ho.
I'm at work right now.
I'll call you later.
Okay.
We had the family meeting at Eun-ho's restaurant.
He saw me upset and was worried.
Yesterday?
So you went knowing everything?
Is that why you dressed that way?
You should've told us.
I bet you were so upset.
Anyway, do you know who she is?
This makes no sense.
Ji-won didn't get in my car. How did she find them?
I have to ask.
Ask where she found it? That won't change that you cheated.
Hey! What the hell?
Stop screaming!
You just fell in love.
It's not right, but it happens.
People change.
And she should've acted right to prevent it.
That's just great.
Look who it is.
The great Ji-won who does all the company's work herself.
Mr. Kim!
-You'll get in trouble. -That little...
Look at how she acts!
-That's why men cheat on her! -Stop it.
I can't believe her. Goodness.
For men, it's important what kind of women they meet.
They can meet a fox, but not a bear.
-That's men. -That's right.
Yeah.
It's been a while.
Many people get married and divorced these days.
You just followed your heart.
So don't worry about it.
We must not waver.
It seems you're mistaken right now.
Jeong Su-min.
You're not marriage material.
Kang Ji-won graduated from Hankuk University.
She saved quite a lot of money and is very self-sufficient.
What about you?
What else do you have
besides being pretty?
What do you have?
That we slept together? Sure, it was great.
But let's be realistic. I'm not in my twenties.
Marry you?
Know your place.
What?
Hey!
You...
You bastard!
What?
-Hey! -What?
Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim, wait...
How could you do that to Su-min?
How could you?
How could you? Let go! How could you do that to Su-min?
How could you do that?
Mr. Kim, come here.
What's wrong? Stop it.
Su-min...
Let go of me!
How could you do that?
Mr. Kim!
So the woman Mr. Park cheated with is Jeong Su-min, right?
Kang Ji-won's best friend?
Wow, it's like a jungle.
What's happening at work?
What? Why?
-Big news! -Gather around!
What is it?
Park Min-hwan...
-And Jeong Su-min? -You knew?
-Yeah!
And they've been best friends since middle school!
Isn't that crazy?
Poor Ji-won!

-Tell me about it. -Panties Park!

I want to quit!

Ji-won, did you move?
I think we should talk.
I'm in front of your place.
You don't believe others, do you?
You have to believe me.
LEE WOO FOOD MEAL KIT TASTING
It's the data from last weekend's tasting event.
And I have concerns.
Can you take a look?
Lee Woo Food had a meal kit event?
Then shouldn't we have run a booth too?
By the way, where's our product?
I don't see it.
If you take a look,
it's in the back like this.
The tasting event went well, so I thought it'd be displayed up front.

U&K BERMUDA PARK MH'S SCANDALOUS BEHAVIOR
PRETENDS TO WORK OVERTIME TO MEET
WITNESSES AT WORK
Oh, my God!
How could you do this?
Even if there was an incident, why cover it?
Pardon? What...
Jomart. I heard about the allergen sign issue.
Why didn't you report it?
How did you know?
Instead of apologizing to Jomart, you yelled and said it was their mistake?
Yes, but it was true.
While we were away for just a second, their employee started the tasting event.
Both of you?
Why were you both away?
Well...
Mr. Park and Ms. Jeong were in charge, right?
What a bastard.
No!
What are you all thinking?
Ji-won.
Mr. Park handled it well with the customer,
but not reporting it is an issue.
Well...
GIRLFRIEND'S BEST FRIEND, CHEATER, ANIMAL
THEY DID IT DURING WORK HOURS
FILTER BY: PARK MIN-HWAN, BERMUDA
The situation in marketing is being shared through company email.
So I've banned key words like "Mr. Park," "Bermuda Park,"
and "Park Min-hwan."
Right. "Panties Park" as well.
All company emails containing these words won't be sent.
And the same with messengers.
I guess I can avoid being talked about at work.
However,
these protective measures will only be valid if you accept being transferred.
To a different department?
It's hard to make you a full-time employee now.
The contract isn't up yet,
but the company wants to let you go after you work until today.
Do you consent?
Ji-won, please pick up.

Why are they all after me?
Who do they think they are? What the hell do they know about me?
Ji-won and I are...
OTHER HALF
No way.
The company has a system.
How could Yang Ju-ran become my boss?
Ms. Yang's successfully running the meal kit project that could've failed.
The company's grateful.
On the other hand, in addition to related cases, your work capacity,
attendance, peer-to-peer evaluation, and misogyny are disappointing.
What...
Misogyny? What does that even mean?
This is a notice.
If you can't accept it, can I take it as your will to resign?
MANAGER KIM GYEONG-UK
Damn it! Yang Ju-ran.
You change my seat.
Yes, sir.
Ms. Yang.
You can't smoke...
Oh, you weren't.
Why are you here?
I come here to think in peace alone.
The company's a place of work.
It's not a place to think.
Didn't you come here to think on your own too?
You don't seem like the type to come to storage yourself.
Again...
A know-it-all.
Aren't you the type to be cold
to those you care about the most?
U&K HRD INSTITUTE
Those who think they know
and judge people rashly...
Personally, I hate people like you.
You were promoted but don't look happy.
If it's because of Mr. Kim, don't worry.
With your performance, you should've been promoted sooner.
Is the meal kit a big chunk of that performance?
This is Kang Ji-won's project.
The idea, planning, and execution.
If someone should get promoted for this,
it's Ms. Kang.
I feel better after saying that.
Please take that into consideration.
Kim Gyeong-uk...
also got promoted with your proposal.
You're the losing type.
Those who think they know
and judge people rashly...
I personally like them.
If they are right.
And you're right.
I'm a pushover.
That makes me comfortable.
Why did you tell HR that?
We worked together.
And I think it's right you get promoted.
I don't like feeling uneasy.
I was uncomfortable being the leader.
This project is yours.
I'm sorry. When Mr. Kim wanted to exclude you,
I should've fixed it then.
I learned while working with you
that you're such a great person
and how much fun work can be when working with good people.
I don't know what HR will decide,
but you're the coolest to me.
You're the coolest to me too.
Ms. Yang, Ms. Kang.
I think you should go downstairs.
What?
Kang Ji-won, come out!
Why are you blocking me?
I almost died!
Who is Kang Ji-won? Why would she say this?
I want to see if she knows what she's talking about!
She revealed her name. Doesn't that mean she's confident?
-So why block us? -Calm down.
Hello.
I'm Kang Ji-won of Marketing Team 1.
-All right. -Are you Kang Ji-won?
Nice.
Hey. We pretended to be dying because we liked free things?
Do you think allergies are a joke?
You people messed up, but we let it go.
My husband almost died!
He almost died!
I'm sorry, but may I see your phone?
Hello.
I'm Kang Ji-won, the person involved in the scandal at U&K.
I'm trembling, so I'll put it simply.
First, the triangle relationship is completely false.
It's true that the man I was about to marry fell for my friend.
However, my friend didn't reciprocate his feelings.
She's such an attractive woman,
so I'm trying to accept it as unavoidable.
And the incident at Jomart was a typical case
where problematic consumers schemed to get freebies.
They ate it without checking the ingredients.
It can't happen to those with serious allergies.
My friend is innocent.
"My friend is innocent."
It pains me that she's blamed.
KANG JI-WON
No one in their right mind would write such a thing!
I didn't write this.
But it is my handwriting.
I know someone
who has the same handwriting as me.
Jeong Su-min, stop!
Ji-won.
I won't let it go this time.
You fix what you did.
Wait, Ji-won.
Ji-won...
What are you doing? Don't do it.
Don't forget that I know as much
about you as you know about me.
MODU COMMUNITY U&K FOOD, KANG JI-WON
Why is someone else's name here?
As a U&K employee,
I am very sorry about this incident.
However, you deserve an apology from the right person.
Honey.
She's that woman.
The one who was with the guy named Mr. Park.
So it was a frame-up?
So she stole her man and used her to defend herself.
Because no one would believe her.
I'm very sorry.
The situation...
It was moving in such a bad direction,
so I needed an excuse, but I crossed the line.
I wasn't trying to insult you two.
You must be very offended, but I didn't think that far.
It's all my fault. I was wrong. I'm sorry.
Miss.
I'm sorry.
-I apologize. -I'm fine.
I felt like I was going insane!
I know I shouldn't have.
But...
I'm so emotional these days.
I know I'm a terrible person.
But I thought
I might end up doing something I'd regret. That's why I did it.
Ji-won.
I'm really sorry.
Can you please forgive me?
I...
can't live without you right now.
Ji-won.
I'm pregnant.
Pregnant...
Let's get this straight.
Park Min-hwan...
is me.
And Kang Ji-won...
is crazy.
And Jeong Su-min...
has lost it.
My life is over!
SNAKE LOANS REPAYMENT
VIPER FINANCIAL REMINDER
FLAT BROKE CAPITAL ULTIMATUM
This is no fun.
Hey, do I look like a man who cheated his fiancé and got another girl pregnant?
Do I?
God, I think I got hit by a car.
What's going on?
What is this? Hey!
Who are you punks? What do you think you're doing?
Punks?
I guess I do look young.
Yeah, you look quite young.
Right? I look young.
In this day and age?
This is the Republic of Korea! What the--
I'm just worried something bad will happen to you, sirs!
By chance, where are you from?
Are you from Snake Loans?
Or is it Viper Financial?
Where?
Goodness.
You borrowed from Snake too?
They don't hit people. I hear they like to cut, right?
-Cut? -Yeah. They do.
-Here. -Yeah.
-Here? -Yeah.
Hey! I'll pay you back! I will!
-What? -Go easy.
You said you had no money. You suddenly got some?
I don't have money.
But my parents do.
As soon as I get married, they'll get me a house!
I'll pay you back with that. Yes!
They always have money when their lives are on the line.
When's the wedding?
Right away!
The woman I'll marry...
I have a pregnant woman. Yeah, I impregnated her.
I'll get it, and I'll pay you back.
Ji-hyuk.
-Hello, Ji-hyuk. -It's cold.
You should've waited at the store.
I'm sorry I asked you to do this.
You can ask us to do anything.
Isn't that the guy we took the chicken to?
What's going on? He's got a lot of debt.
Ji-hyuk, we haven't finished yet.
We'll go finish now.
We'll be right back.
It's so cold.
Kang Ji-won will become happy.
She'll be happy.
Mom.
You said you'd get me a house if I got married.
Can you do that for me now?
All you got me was red long johns.
Why would I get you a house?
Maybe if you give me a grandchild.
I'm not kidding around, Mom!
It's urgent for me.
Do you trust me?
Don't you love me?
I'm your son! Park Min-hwan. Your one and only son.
Where the heck are you going?
Damn it!
My God! What the heck?
Hey, what are you doing there?
Hey.
Hey, Su-min?
What are you doing?
You said I was just a pretty face, so why are you here?
Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?
Does that change anything?
Right. I was a bit harsh, wasn't I?
I didn't really mean that, but I...
You know how guys are, right?
So it does changes things.
Not with Ji-won though.
She won't even talk to me. Even though I'm pregnant.
Dummy.
You seem smart,
but you're strangely sloppy.
That's my baby. Of course, that hurts her.
She likes me so much.
Really?
I'm pregnant.
Of course.
She's spiteful, so she doesn't let it show,
but you know it too.
She's fragile inside.
I'm sure she's hurt and upset ever since she learned about us.
And now you're pregnant.
She's probably a mess.
You think so?
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Wow, the gods have helped.
Ms. Kang, what if you knew nothing and actually got married?
Throw that trash away.
It's funny, I think the trash hates the trashcan.
Did you see Mr. Park's face when she said it?
Pregnant? Su-min, what are you trying to pull?
I'm sure Park Min-hwan has azoospermia.
How's the food?
It's so good.
Need anything else?
No, this is already so great.
Thanks.
That's good.
Have a good time.
Still...
I thought Ji-won would take my side in the end.
It's understandable
that she was mad at me and ignored my texts.
But if she saw people treating me harshly,
I thought she would take my side.
She always did.
Even if it was strange.
Even if it was wrong.
Even if she was mad.
Still, in the end,
she always forgave me and understood.
I think...
I have to be that person to you now.
Break away from her now.
It's not like you're dating.
Let's let her go.
Let's only think about us.
Us?
Shall we...
get married?
I said terrible things to you,
trying not to like you.
But I think you're the one.
Shall we...
Shall we get married?
We'll be...
But we'll be a better family tomorrow than we are now.
I promise.
...a better family tomorrow than we are now.
I promise.
A family?
Yes.
INCIDENT REPORT, NOTICE OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION
So the problem wasn't Kang Ji-won
but her fiancé and friend?
Yes, sir.
But the employee is pregnant,
so the customers decided to let it go.
HR took action on the two employees.
And Ms. Kang Ji-won was right about the meal kit case as well.
It's common for managers to steal proposals.
So Kang Ji-won's the victim.
I need to meet her.
Let's go.
I heard you went through a lot recently.
I've decided to face the obstacles that are bound to happen.
I guess there are many difficult people around you.
There aren't that many,
but there are some tough ones.
Am I one of them?
I think so.
So what are you going to do from now on?
-Right now? -Yes, go quickly.
-Grandfather! -My goodness.
You're scaring my guest.
The chairman didn't say much.
So you don't have to worry.
I'll make sure this won't happen again. I'm sorry.
Why would you be sorry?
Anyway, it's amazing that I got to see him in person.
And he wasn't as difficult as I'd thought.
Yes, he is.
I told him the truth.
That when my boss stole my proposal,
maybe I should've just let it slide,
but I don't regret it now.
That's an answer he'd like.
And he brought up my private life first.
He said I shouldn't blame my foot for stepping on crap.
SECOND HAND MARKET
Buying a positive pregnancy test and sonogram photo.
POSTED
Family.
A new start.
Park Min-hwan and Jeong Su-min will marry soon.
You can start over now.
Right.
Well...
I'll feel relieved once they actually decide to.
They'll do it.
There's no other way for him to get money.
What do you mean?
I checked his financial situation.
His stock credit is bad, and he took out loans.
He's under pressure to pay.
He already received his severance pay.
And he was demoted due to the recent incident, so his salary was cut.
How did you check all that?
Remember what I said?
I used to only do what was right.
It's not true.
My grandfather knew
that I just...
didn't want anything.
Want to shoot a gun?
I had a lot of things to do.
And I'd come here to pull the trigger.
Because I could do things I hated
after thinking,
"The bullet's already shot. It can't be undone."
"Let's just do it."
But it's so hard to resist what I want right now.
There are many things I can do.
What's changed
is that now I'm doing something that can help you too.
Hold on tight and lean on me.
You're amazing!
You fix a meal so easily.
I have no talent for cooking.
But this package is so easy.
You don't eat at home, do you?
No, I always order in since I live alone.
Don't do that. Think of your health.
I messed up my stomach once, so I try my best to eat what I cook.
It tastes so good.
You're perfect.
Will you marry me?
I'll never get married.
No, you have to.
Even if that's true,
an ex being happy with another woman is so annoying.
So you have to be happy first.
What's your type? A handsome face? Body?
I'll get it.
It's Baek Eun-ho.
No, don't answer it. I'll call back.
Just take it.
A call from a handsome man on Christmas should be answered.
Hey, Eun-ho.
What?
-Hey. -Hey.
-Were you waiting long? -No.
-Hello. -Hello.
You drive so carefully.
Well...
I don't drive often, so...
This is my first time since then.
-Since when? -He drove us home
after my brother passed out drunk at his restaurant.
I was so flustered, but he saved me.
Mr. Yu got drunk and passed out?
At Eun-ho's restaurant at that?
But if Kang Ji-won is the one wrong sentence in it...
How would you feel?
I know, right? He comes often.
Because he's got high standards for food.
So, what do you want to do?
Where shall we go?
You're not coming?
Come on.
It's Christmas! I have plans.
Go ahead. Have fun!
Okay.
It's Christmas, and I have no plans!
They looked so good together.
Oh, my.
You're eating ice cream? You look human for a change.
Give me some.
What?
You told me to help them get closer.
I did such a great job.
So why do you look upset?
Does he seem decent?
Yes.
He may be kind of boring,
but he's comfortable. He's handsome and stable.
Ms. Kang acts strong, but she has anxiety.
And most importantly, there's love pouring from his eyes.
What? Why? Why do your actions not match your words?
You said nothing was going on with her.
You said to set her up with a decent guy!
Eat it like this?
I mean, she should meet a decent guy soon.
I think she dreams of spending Christmas with family at home.
Twinkling lights and gifts under the tree.
A cake and a music box.
Maybe some Santa hats and stockings.
You must be cold. Want something warm to drink?
I'll be right back.
Will I be able to live like this if they get married?
The restaurant is busy on Christmas night, so I have to go.
Sorry.
Don't be sorry.
Thanks for spending time with me.
No.
I really enjoyed today.
I'm glad if it cheered you up a little,
and next time...
Eun-ho.
You're a great friend.
I'm so happy I met you again.
You shouldn't be like that.
That I got to...
I never want to speak to you again.
...see the real you.
I...
had a crush on you!
Thank you.
I'll be a great friend to you too.
Yeah.
Thanks.
My first love.
Here.
The wrong sentence in your novel
must not be me.
Mr. Yu?
What are you doing out here?
I came out for some air.
I was about to go in.
It seems you got a lot of air.
No, well...
I...
Mr. Yu.
I have something to tell you.
Can you come to my place?
Or shall I go to your place?
What were you going to do if I didn't ask to talk?
I would've asked you to.
To be honest with you, I went on a date with Eun-ho today.
My first love.
Also, he told me he liked me.
I heard.
I stood there for a while.
Why did you turn him down? He seems nice.
He is a nice guy.
That's why I liked him.
But...
I don't feel the same way.
Do you remember when I asked you to let me be honest with you?
Just let me be honest with you from time to time.
I've never once been honest about my feelings.
I want to be honest now.
When I was with Eun-ho,
I kept thinking about someone else.
Someone I thought I knew everything about,
but I didn't at all.
I'm sure there's more I don't know about him.
But...
he's someone only I can know.
And...
he knows me the best.
When you told me how you felt,
I thought it was the reason I came back.
I get that you like Kang Ji-won.
But you don't seem like the type to meddle with Min-hwan and Su-min.
If it concerns Ji-won, it concerns me.
Where did things go wrong?
Mr. Yu!
I'm not the right person for you.
Because I want you to be happy.
I need to collect at your wedding!
The man and family that used to be Ji-won's.
They're all mine now.
Congratulations on picking up my trash.
