Being middle-aged is a time when one must say goodbye to their loved ones.
There's only one reason why we're here.
He was a rich top-manager at a pharmaceutical company.
The widow was a former model.
And her friends are models as well.
That's the reason why we are here.
Hold on a second.
Show him respect.
He's your father.
Father? What is she talking about?
So you must be the one. Who do you think you are coming here?!
Being middle-aged is also a time when one can be relaxed and dignified in his position in life.
A Gentleman's Dignity
Episode 1
Remember our project from last year?
What's so important that you won't even give me enough time to get to my desk?
-A leak? -Yes because of the heavy rain.
The water pipes could only withstand 100 mm of precipitation every hour.
But the rain fell more than 120 mm every hour. The pipe gave out.
There was a leak on the 15th floor, the landlord wants to sue.
Sue who?
-Please take care of the "Island" meeting today. -Me?
They want to sue Mother Nature for the heavy rain? Global warming?
Or perhaps the construction company who disregarded our plans and used the wrong pipes?
If not, is it us? For warning that 100 mm/hour capacity pipes wouldn't hold?
-I think... -Are they kidding?
Oh you're here. Good day.
Director! This is Director Song's contract for Boutique Hotel.
Director, it's a call from Director Lim. He said you weren't picking up your phone.
So did you tell him I was in?
He said he'll talk to you no matter what.
It's me.
You think you're cool talking to me in that voice?
Why are you ignoring my phone calls?
We have nothing sweet to talk about.
You're really going to do this?
You think remodeling is a free service?
Architects are responsible for their plans.
I know. But we still need to leave a profit in the process.
There's a 7-fold cost difference.
President Song can't tell the difference between Korean-made and imported materials.
She's happy with whatever material I use.
Now that our company's growing, you want to go bankrupt again?
Hello?
-Why did you hang up? -I don't like to be criticized.
Hello? Hello?
Should we return everything and put in another order?
Forget it! He'll see when he gets a tiny little paycheck.
Are you looking for something?
Ummm...
Something made out of sheepskin leather. Sturdy and soft...
The moment he puts it on, I want him to fall for me.
Something that'll make him want to hold my hand.
-This one is just like that. -Please gift wrap it for me.
Okay. Would you like to put initials on them?
-You can do numbers as well, right? -Yes.
Guess who?
Your hands are hot.
Is someone there?
Weren't we supposed to meet at 3?
I sped here because I wanted to see you.
But we'll start conversing at 3.
Please wait.
Yes, Tae San.
No, I'm not busy. Go ahead.
There's something you want to know?
What is it? I'm curious, too.
I've decided that I'm going to start dating.
Dating?
Yes, your friend that you brought to the baseball game.
The one who plays golf.
She's just my type. Can I get her phone number?
I'll text it to you. Yes, okay.
-I'm going. -Bye.
Sir, there's a girl here to interview for a part-time job.
Tell her to come here.
You can come here.
Get to work.
May I see your resume?
Let's sit by the windows.
Im Tae San?
The tall guy from the baseball game?
What doe he do for a living? Is he wealthy?
He went to school for engineering. And he's a director at an architectural firm.
Ask him yourself if he has a lot of money.
He's an engineering laborer?
It must be him.
His name is Im Tae San?
He's impatient, right?
You're not getting it?
If you want to get a nice sparkling gift from a man,
you shouldn't be talking to someone who studied engineering.
Love can't always be glamorous like a Christmas tree.
Tae San is a good man.
I'll decide that after we go on a shopping spree together for my golf gears.
I only needed 20 seconds.
Who?
A man I liked once before.
Don't ask me anything else. I'm not going to tell you.
You've got a lot of hidden secrets.
Why the sudden rain? I had plans.
I wish something spontaneous would happen in my life.
Something like love.
Sorry!
How about taking care of this first?
What happened?
What happened to my dress?
I guess it's not okay for me to see, but it's okay for them to see?
Oh, no! What am I going to do?
You're completely missing the bottom half of your outfit.
Thank yo... What did you say?
-Do you live close by? -No.
-Do you have a car? -At home.
I guess there's no other way. Let's go.
Walk.
Where to?
You know you can't stop, right?
Until I tell you to stop, go straight.
Where did you pick up the yarn?
I don't know when it started getting undone.
I didn't pick it up. Your dress got stuck to my bag.
You mean, you're the one who did this?
No, it was your doing.
Your butt attacked me out of nowhere. How am I supposed to evade that?
Even now.
Oh sorry.
Just walk if you don't want any more attention.
Stop.
How much?
Just give me 10,000 won.
Not that...
This.
It looks good on your "Attacking Butt."
-I know it's partially my fault, but... -Thank you, you're very nice.
I'm glad that you are grateful. Then...
Thank you. I'm grateful, but I really think this looks ridiculous.
Oh my god.
So you came home like that?
Oh, how embarrassing!
I'd have killed myself.
Are you disappointed that I'm alive?
No way. Who would make breakfast if you weren't here?
Where are you going that you've been putting on makeup for an hour?
Aren't the false lashes uncomfortable?
A corset isn't comfortable either.
The more uncomfortable, the more tense you get. Women need to be tensed up to be beautiful.
Who's coming?
It must be a package.
What're you doing here?
-There was a secret to your beauty. -What?
It's nothing...
Oh, you shouldn't do that.
-You found your way well. -I knew this location.
I dropped of Yi Soo a few times here.
What's going on?
Thanks to you, today's our first date.
I didn't know you guys were talking.
You know that I like men who studied engineering.
I'll be late. Don't wait up.
Oh, I'm going out, too. My phone keeps ringing.
Your phone was on top of the vanity table.
-Let's go. -Yes.
Yi Soo, see you next time.
You worked hard this past year.
When the vacation is over, you'll be juniors in high school.
Junior year is more important than the senior year.
The legendary baseball pitcher, Greg Maddox once said,
"It's not your arm that makes you a great pitcher."
"It's that thing between both of your ears we call a brain."
Don't waste your precious week of vacation focusing on studies.
That's not going to make your test grades go up.
Instead, use your brains to do some thinking.
'Where am I headed?' 'Which direction do I wish for my youth to head?'
'Will my youth be passionate or just luke-warm?'
You guys sound like an audience at a show.
Lastly, I better not see you at a place where under-aged students should not be going to...
Especially those of you who like to visit the police station...
Don't make me have to go there to rescue you.
Oohhh... She looks so pretty when she does that.
That's all. Have a good break.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
-Can I take this to go? -Sure, just give us a minute.
Miss Seo! Please help me out this Christmas, too.
You need to let Yoon know that I've gotten so much prettier.
Tell him I'm like a goddess. I'm counting on you!
It's bad enough that I'm single. Now I have to be a love messenger for my student.
Yes?
The company wanted to do this. Merry Christmas.
It looks good on you.
Even if I look funny, I won't take it off. I have a hat-head.
This is from Me Ah Ri. This is from me.
Thank you for doing this every year.
I can't turn down Me Ah Ri's request. She knows a big secret of mine.
Don't we have a great teacher-student relationship?
She's worried that you're not picking up her phone calls,
and ignoring her emails and text messages.
I'm sorry to interrupt, but this is urgent...
Excuse me.
I want a divorce.
-On Christmas Eve? -I'm busy on Christmas day.
I almost died... It was so funny.
Hold on.
-Right, that's how it was... -What's so funny?
-We were talking about Se Ra's college days. -Oh, I see.
Everything's a lie. Don't believe them.
What do you mean it's a lie? She was so scary to the juniors.
-Oh, so that's when it started... -She was no joke.
She even had all the guys following her orders.
Thank God we were in the same class...
If she had gone to the army, instead of playing golf, she'd have made it to the high ranks.
Can I talk to you for a minute? Somewhere quiet?
If you're going to kiss, please don't. My lips are the highlight of my makeup today.
You're Im Tae San's friend.
Your profession is architecture.
What's your name?
-I'm not into girls that do background checks. -I'm not into secretive guys.
Do you have a girlfriend?
For about 165 days out of a year.
Why don't you date the rest of the time?
I do date. They're just not my girlfriends.
Am I talking to a playboy?
I wouldn�t say I'm pure and calm.
You're very cool.
You're totally my style. What will you do?
That's why I was just about to leave.
Let Im Tae San know that I left without him.
I know you're angry. What's wrong with you?
What do you think? Those bastards were staring at your chest.
That's why I'm wearing this. I want to show off my banging body.
Even if I die, I'm not going to wear anything over this.
I guarantee that those bastards already touched you more than a hundred times in their minds.
All men are like that. You must know.
Why can't you enjoy it?
You came here with your boyfriend.
It's chic and cool to sit around a bunch of guys laughing and joking around?
You were like that, too. You'd look at my legs and chest.
Isn't that why you fell for me?
Isn't that how we got started? You don't remember?
You're right.
But, I thought you were okay with that because it was me.
I was mistaken. You're too much.
-And I don't mean that in a good way. -What're you saying?
-I'm your boyfriend. -Everybody knows that.
Everyone inside knows that.
Exactly...
And you treated me worse than the way you treat your clothes.
I don't think I'm right for you.
You're not meant for me.
Let's end it.
That seems to be the right decision. Live well.
Where are you?
I don't know.
Am I in hell or heaven?
-Wow! -Merry Christmas, honey.
I'm the Magical Miss Santa. I can lure any boys.
I saw her on your porn downloads.
That's really old.
I won't look at it. Really, I won't.
Are you scared?
A little bit.
Magical Miss Santa doesn't give presents to naughty boys.
They don't give anything to naughty boys, but they do give presents to naughty men.
Naughty men are sexy.
Sexy guy, Lee Jung Rok, are you ready for your present?
Oh, you shouldn't have. You were playing with me?
Doesn't it look familiar?
I found it in the pocket of your store apron.
Oh I forgot about it.
It was getting in the way when I was doing the dishes.
You have a new employee.
-She's pretty. -What're you thinking?
-You think I took off the ring because of her? -That's why I fired her.
You cut her?
-Good... You did well. -Why aren't you putting it on?
Oh, I am...
Party's over.
Honey, honey.
Darling...
Ms. Park Min Sook...
I'm ready.
I do have a nice butt.
Merry Christmas, Mister.
Can we get a cigarette from you?
Sorry to say, but I don't smoke.
Merry Christmas.
How have you been, Officer Kim?
Is that true?
He really started the fight?
Yes. Look, we're the ones who got hit.
He picked a fight with us. And we're too immature to turn it down.
Did you really do that?
Are you believing their story?
I need to listen to both sides.
What're you doing? You're not going to defend me?
Don't say anything. You're embarrassing me.
I was walking when those two youths stopped in front of me.
They asked for a cigarette.
So I said...
Sorry to say, but I don't smoke. Merry Christmas.
Then can you give us some money, so we can buy cigarettes?
You punks... What school do you go to?
Students shouldn't be smoking. It leads to all kinds of diseases.
Didn't you see the warning on the package?
What's going on?
Oh, Yoon. What's with these guys?
Hey, you high school punks.
Come here...
Come here!
This is what happened.
I have evidence.
What're you doing?
I can't waste my time here trying to convince you.
Today's Christmas Eve.
You bastards!
I was able to get to the truth.
But, why did you record this?
I record everything that happens in my life.
You want to know the reason?
I'll tell you in court. There'll be no negotiation.
You two can leave for now.
Their teacher is coming, so we'll give you a call next time.
Tell the teacher that there'll be no negotiation. We want to convict them.
You should've just let it go.
A court has better things to do.
They're underage.
You're saying that because you didn't get hit as much as me.
17 is not underage.
They can walk, they can read and write...
They're old enough to be responsible for their own violent actions.
And you almost believed those guys...
What's wrong?
I saw someone I know. She's a high school teacher.
Maybe she's their teacher.
I know we're victims, but it's definitely not something we should be proud of.
We're 40.
Please, I'm begging you.
A trial? They're so young.
Look down.
Can I please get the victim's phone number?
Can you please help us out?
Your eyes look very...
Oh this... I'll fix it.
Can you please help with this case?
How about this? You can just tell them I stole the number.
There's a CCTV.
Isn't that it? The victim's...
You know you can't do this. They have no intention of negotiating.
Just rip off half of that for me. Just half.
That's fine. I memorized it before.
-You memorized it? -After all these times, I have a strategy.
Oh... How proud I am...
Then... We'll get going.
You punks!
I am always so grateful.
Two 40-year olds and four of you? At least in the summer, you were even in number.
You're dead. Follow me!
You're going to hit us?
That's illegal.
You can report me.
It's 1000 each. You guys throw 1000 balls.
And you guys hit the 1000 balls.
Then you won't be able to lift your arms for at least two weeks.
You won't be able to fight anymore.
I want to beat the hell out of you, but what can I do when the law prohibits it.
You don't have to, but I have to follow the laws. How unfair.
You know?
Are you giving us a confessional speech?
How about just taking us out for some meat-broth soup?
Maybe some soju, too?
Cut the crap.
Let's go.
-I'm sorry. -Don't start. I don't believe you.
Oh...
Ball!
What're you doing? You better run.
How did your wife find that ring?
There must be a spy.
If I catch him...
Oh, they're here.
What's wrong on Christmas Eve? What happened to your faces?
Worry about yourself. Your wife wants to divorce you on Christmas Eve.
She said the same thing on our wedding anniversary.
What happened to your face?
So you fought 17 against 2?
-You want me to believe that? -What's there not to believe?
-What do you get for not believing us? -You think we got beat up by high school punks?
Give me the regular.
What're you doing here? You should be having fun.
Where's Se Ra?
What's wrong with their faces?
They got beat up by high school punks.
-We didn't. -You got it pretty good.
-You must be so ashamed. -Maybe they took their money, too.
They could've started it. Where're you going?
You're that embarrassed? Your face tells me you must've resisted fiercely.
I'm going to the bathroom.
Go, go...
Hey... That's...
Sorry to say, but I don't smoke.
Merry Christmas.
Then can you give us some money to buy cigarettes?
As you can see from my attire, I left the wallet at home.
If it's not too much to ask, can we search?
You could, but you shouldn't.
We weren't giving you the freedom to choose.
Take your hand out.
Why should I?
I'm warning you, you better not talk down to us.
Oh, was I doing that?
Take out your hands.
Oh, these students...
Oh, this man...
I see it. Right there.
Fine, let's do this.
We'll buy cigarettes.
Only if there's money left after buying cheese.
You only need one. Don't tell me you both need it.
This guy's fooling around.
What's going on?
Lawyer Choi!
He's a lawyer. A lawyer...
These high School punks...
Hey, come here.
Come here.
You should've just given it to them.
You're the one who called them over.
Hey, give me that!
You were so scared... Talking to them so respectfully...
You didn't kneel down?
You better give that back.
You should thank Yoon. You would've died if not for him.
I took care of everything, but he made things worse.
We first met when we were 18. And spent 22 years together.
We look 40, but when the 4 of us ge together, we always regress back to when we were 18.
A happy new year came, and we turned 41.
But because we were together, we were still young boys.
It was the first day of the new year. We had fun, right?
Yes, we did.
Four men eating fish-cake soup... Four men playing game of Yut...
We had a great game.
Why're you taking a shower at someone else's home,
when you don't even have a change of underwear?
What do you mean? I changed my underwear.
-Whose underwear? -Yours.
You... Take it off.
Stop screaming. This is the New Year.
I can ask my wife to raise your rent.
Hey.... You...
You want another one? A second layer?
It'll make me sweat.
This is so tight.
Hey, why are you wearing that? Put on the shorts.
-That's a limited edition. -Really?
Then what's this?
Stop! Give it to me.
That's a possible find in a bachelor's home. Stop overreacting.
There's a reason for this.
Put it down.
He ripped this.
You perverts... What're you thinking?
I didn't rip this. She wore one that was already ripped.
It's true we were young boys when we were together.
But when alone, we were definitely adults.
Boutique Hotel's beauty is that it is very un-hotel like.
It's got a creative design.
And there's an area that's very unique and entertaining.
This is boring. When is Director Im coming?
He said he's nearby.
He's here.
Oh, there was so much traffic.
Is this President Song?
Wow, you've gotten so much younger!
I thought we were interviewing for a new employee.
Stop... I was starting to get a bit upset.
I wanted you to take care of this,
but why do I always have to have the meeting with Director Kim?
I don't even understand any of this.
I just want a strong column like your arm. A big and bright window like your chest.
That's all I need.
Wow, you really have great taste. You're the best.
-Aren't you hot? -No, I'm not.
It's really cold today.
Even if you're not hot, President Song is.
-Her eyes want to see something refreshing. -Yes, I do...
Oh, everybody wants you. You have a phone call.
You're too nice.
I'll be a minute.
Yes, Chairman Kang...
This is why you wanted me to come in?
What am I supposed to do? She won't even talk to me.
She says I'm boring. This is a big chance.
You don't want to design the hotel?
-Our portfolio level... -If you're not concerned with your pride...
Director Im! Remember Chairman Kang?
He loves the villa at Ban Po, so he wants to build a town in Jeju Island.
Right... What were we talking about?
It's hot, hot...
Let's cool down... let's get motivated and do this with some vigor!
He seriously took off his jacket and gave her the best service.
So everything worked out?
She'll be a life-long client as long as Tae San doesn't die.
You better watch out. I hit a home-run at the last game.
I hit the ball and it flew...
Hello. I'm calling again about settling the case.
I really want to meet you. Please...
I don't want to see you.
-What is it? -A girl that wants to see me.
Can't you be faithful to just one?
Don't worry. I'm not faithful to any.
You... Get changed. We're short a player.
I'm warning you. You better play without a single complaint.
The minute you start with your whining,
the ties between President Song and our company will be severed.
Fine.
Get him to change. We've got an extra uniform.
Don't let him escape.
I'm ready!
Come with me.
Strike, out!
Strike!
Out!
Strike!
Strike, out!
Out!
Strike!
Strike, out!
Two strike-outs, a grounder and a double play...
Are you the only one who played against the national team?
I'm here for my looks. I did my best.
Is the umpire a woman?
Yes, it's a woman.
What do you think?
About what?
Isn't she pretty?
I only got a good look from the back.
She does have a nice butt.
What's wrong with you?
You were checking her out instead of looking at the ball?
-Just 30 seconds... -What?
That's how long it will take until she offers me her phone number.
Watch...
Don't do it. Never.
She's someone I'm going to know for a while.
And I'm hoping she'll start something with Yoon. Don't you dare.
Good game. You must be tired.
Not at all. I always have fun.
This is a friend that I'm a bit embarrassed to introduce you to.
Very embarrassing.
I need to get going. Something came up.
You won't be going out with the team?
Why? Something bad happened?
I'll tell you later. You played really well today.
Get home safely, and let me know if you need help.
30 seconds? You want 30 more seconds?
Excuse me!
I'm sure I made a big impression on you over there.
But you still ignored me.
Then do the same and ignore me.
Look here!
Yes?
This is a question that girls usually ask me, "Don't you remember me?"
I'm sorry.
Are you...
-You're right... -Are you a parent?
Now you remember, right?
Oh, are you the school commissioner?
You really don't remember me?
I'm sorry, but that line won't work on me... And I really don't have the time now.
Excuse me.
Try hard to remember.
Your butt knows what I did last spring!
How embarrassing. Why is he here?
He better not tell Tae San.
What am I gonna do?
Are you home?
Is anybody home?
What are you thinking about?
Last year, there were two women I wanted to get phone numbers from.
What should we have for dinner?
-How's the Italian restaurant we went to before? -Sorry, I gotta go.
Where?
I really need to get this woman's phone number. I'll call you later.
Do Jin!
Hold on.
Did you leave something behind?
Yeah, but it's gone.
What is it? Something important?
Just put on your wedding ring.
I lost one like that.
The other one was similar.
I really think this looks ridiculous!
They were so lucky.
But I met one of them today coincidentally.
And I just realized something.
The two women were the same person.
-Really? -Isn't that amazing?
This woman doesn't give up.
Hello.
Oh you got it. This is...
I know who you are, and I know why you're calling.
My reply is...
Hold on. Please don't cut me off.
I'm begging you to settle this.
They're immature, but not bad kids.
They've got a long way to go.
So you're telling me to forgive them because I have less days to live?
No way! I'm still young and hot.
You better be thankful that I didn't make a bigger deal out of this.
They have to learn the hard way. That's part of education.
-Is that ... -Yeah, it's those punks' teacher.
You didn't settle it yet?
I have no reason to.
You...
I know her personally, and so does Tae San.
She's Se Ra's roommate.
Don't you remember? The woman umpire?
That's her?
Yes. You hot Kim Do Jin.
You better settle this.
-Get out! -I am!
Why are you telling me now that she's that woman?
You should've told me before I said I was still young and hot.
That low-life...
What?
Then that was...
Tae San's friend?
Yes, his name is Kim Do Jin, and he's the co-director of the company with Tae San.
I see...
Then you were the other middle-aged man that was with him that day?
No, no. I wasn't the man there with him.
I just heard about it.
Don't worry too much.
I'll try to convince him, and I'll ask Tae San as well.
No, I'll take care of it. I'll meet him.
Please don't tell Tae San. It's a request.
Yes.
Don't worry.
Okay.
What am I gonna do? What'll I do?
Why can't I see one step ahead?
One step...
Seriously...
Forget it. Forget it. I can't do it.
I can't believe that man is him.
How can he be him?
Here...
How can he say with his own mouth that he's still young and hot?
What am I gonna do?
How crazy...
Maybe I'll just get it over with.
Fine, I'll do it.
Can I see you just once? I'm begging you.
You'll recognize me when you see me?
I'm talking to myself.
What the hell? His texts are even weird.
Is he going to meet me or not?
Of course I can recognize you. I'll do anything.
I can even come carrying a rose with my lips. Just tell me where.
Fine, let's meet.
Come to my office with a rose in your lips.
You better have the rose.
I was just saying that.
This guy's really stupid.
Excuse me.
You must be busy.
I'm not, but I'm just pretending to ignore you. That's what you asked me to do.
I'm sorry about what happened at the baseball game.
I don't want an insincere apology.
Besides, you really don't remember me?
I have a hard time remembering people's faces.
Trust me, I really want to remember.
Really?
But how can I believe in someone who doesn't even follow through on what she said the night before?
You said you'd bring a flower in your lips.
If you're wondering whether I was being serious, I was.
Let's just cancel our meeting. A promise is a promise.
No!
I did prepare for it.... Just in case.
Are you doing this because of how I acted at the baseball game?
I don't want to hear it.
Do as you promised, or forget about ...
I'm really sorry, but can I put it behind my ear instead?
I think that'll do.
Put it on and wait for me. I have something to finish up.
You shouldn't be doing that.
I don't have time today. We should talk next time.
Hold on... I just need 5 minutes.
I sincerely apologize for my actions yesterday at the baseball game.
I was punished like this, so please forgive me.
And please think about the case involving my students.
They are still kids who need guidance.
They don't seem that helpless.

You really don't remember me?
That man was that guy.
What do I do?
There're guys lined up with diamonds, luxury cars, and condo keys.
Just to have me.
Three different guys? Or one guy's willing to give you all three?

-Did you take my pen? -A pen? Why would I take that?

You're back. I think you're someone's first love.
I think I paid my dues.

This is my only way.
I fell in love at first sight.
