[Seo's Bookstore]
Is he here?
Yes. Should we go in?
[It's not the apple's fault that it's rotten.]
Who are you? What do you need?
My boss had to come here himself today.
Why do you have to waste his time too?
Please! Give me one more week.
Damn it!
That's how you dragged on for two weeks.
Just one day then.
My daughter will be here soon.
Please! Don't let her see me like this.
We don't want your daughter to see us either.
Please work with me.
Get the money ready before I finish this book.
[Sharing love for the low-income families]
- 112. - Here.
I can't see well. Thank you.
Bye.
Let's see...
I live on 15.
Oh no!
I'll help you.
Thank you. You're so kind.
Thank you.
Thank you!
Okay, have a good day.
I live on 57.
57... Are you Seo Kyung Wook?
It's my father. I'm here for him.
Please write your name and sign it.
It's 2 pouches of 10 kilo. Can you carry them?
I will carry one and come back for another later.
Okay that will work.
Hi! I'm from News Focus.
We're interviewing for the news tonight.
Can you say something briefly about this program?
We need an interview from younger people too.
Find someone else.
Come on! Just a sentence!
Find someone else.
Just say one sentence please?
You want to hear how someone feels for begging for a bag of rice?
Hey! Cranky girl over there!
Seo Mi Do from unit 57!
You left your rice. This was the whole point.
Give it to me.
I will carry them for you.
Give them to me.
Can you carry two bags at once?
It's 57 right? I checked your address from the list.
Come!
I have to carry these and then bring two more bags to my place.
Mr. Seo.
You have money ready?
I will have them tomorrow.
57 was here.
- I bought a lot of books from here. - Thank you for carrying them.
You were amazing back there.
Burn them.
Which one should I start with?
National History.
This will burn well.
Sir!
Please!
Dad!
Please, I beg you.
My girl is outside.
Please!
You broke the window here?
I will have the money tomorrow no matter what.
Please!
Dad!
I will come again tomorrow at the same time.
Have one more day's interest ready.
Total is 26,597,000 Won.
I will pay for this book tomorrow.
Who were those people?
You don't need to worry about it.
What happened to the window?
Kids playing soccer broke the window.
Who plays soccer here?
Did you use private loans by any chance?
I would never!
Weren't those thugs threatening you?
No they weren't!
How was the test?
Go upstairs.
Go upstairs!
Tae Sang.
He left this at his store and disappeared.
Find him right now. Now!
- Come with me. - Yes sir.
Yeah, Mom.
Mi Do. We're in trouble.
Your father left a will and disappeared.
What?
Tae Sang.
We found him.
We got him out of the river.
Fool! If you wanted to really die, you shouldn't have answered the phone.
You think we will go easy on you?
Honey!
Are you alright?
Don't ever bluff like this again.
You don't even have the guts to die.
You monsters!
You're worse than animals.
Why borrow money from us who are worse than animals?
Honey.
Dad!
Mi Do.
Father.
I'm sorry.
Are you alright Dad?
Mom! Take Dad inside.
Honey, come in.
Mr. Seo! You're not done with us.
Who are you?
What have you done?
You said that you will pay back by today. Give us your kidney at least.
Get lost right now!
You little bitch.
Stop hurting my child.
Mom! Go inside and call the cops.
You dare!
Who do you think you are?
You're not so special when you can't even pay back the money you borrowed.
Mom.
Mi Do stop! You're going to get hurt.
Call the cops right now!
Go! Go!
Call the cops!
Let go.
Get it over with.
[2006 College Entrance Mock Exam]
Are you the boss?
We need to talk to your father.
I will bring the money by 3 on Saturday.
I will go to your office at 3 this Saturday.
Are you Seo Mi Do?
That's right, you asshole.
Saturday at 3.
The office is easy to find.
What if they run away?
Let's just take her then.
We can let her go when her father brings the money.
Let her go.
Tae Sang.
I said let go.
We can get really barbaric.
So don't even think about running away.
Don't worry.
Saturday at 3.
- Let's go. - Yes sir.
I don't think she's going to come.
It could be a traffic jam.
Boss is going to think that something is strange.
- Chang Hee. - Yeah?
You like collecting money by threatening people?
Who would like it?
I'm just doing it to make a living.
Go home.
Okay then.
[Chief Han Tae Sang]
[5 minute cash! OK!]
Boss.
You don't have plans for the weekends?
Boss! I think we need to cut some slack for Seo.
Who's Seo?
You know the bookstore dude.
That slow poke. What about him?
We've taken too much interest from him. He used our money for two years...
During that time...
You a big boy now?
Just do as the usual.
Mr. Goo!
Send me a man I can use. Right now.
Have him watch Han Tae Sang for me.
You're 2 hours and 5 minutes late.
I will pay you interest for that two hours.
- Where's the money? - What's the total with interest as of today?
27,995,000 Won.
Do you have it?
You were going to pay it back today.
How about you buy me?
Buy me for that price.
How is that?
Fine.
Let's eat dinner first. What do you want?
Whatever.
Aren't you going to eat?
- Are you nervous? - Does it keep you warm at night?
Your job.
You were sold like a sacrificial lamb today.
Stop acting tough and get ready.
Let's go upstairs.
Are you a student? (Suggesting that she's underage.)
I was last year. (Meaning, she graduated from high school last year.)
I'm not a minor. You don't have to worry about that.
You are smart.
- What do you want to be? - Such a juvenile question.
You're scared. You're trembling.
It's Room 1001. Go upstairs first.
Run if you want to.
I thought you were going to run away.
Why would I?
You have guts.
Sign the contract first.
You can do whatever you want then.
The balance is paid off with this transaction.
Write that down and sign it.
Sacrificing yourself for your father. Don't you think that's a bit old fashioned?
I don't want to make a scene in the neighborhood again.
Can you still stay in first place after selling yourself?
I will try. But it will be hard.
You are making a sacrifice.
Yeah.
Honestly speaking, I think my life is over after this.
That's heartbreaking.
Just sign the contract. I want to get over with it.
Come here.
Sign the contract first.
I got everything they had in the deli downstairs.
Stop acting so tough.
I will waive all the interest for you. I promise that.
I will talk to your father about it too. To pay back the principal even if it takes time.
You have to pay that back at least.
What's that mean?
I mean that I'm being nice here.
So take that and go home.
So why are you being nice?
You don't like it?
You want to sleep with me that badly?
I'm asking why you're letting me off the hook.
I just wanted to show you that there are good days in life.
Just when you thought that it was over, you could find yourself a way out.
You're getting emotional because you're still young.
And don't drop the honorifics.
Bye.
How many times have you done it?
Done what?
This.
Today is my first time.
Don't you ever do that again. Not to anyone. No matter what happens.
Yes, Chang Hee.
Hey, did she come?
Is that why you called?
I took care of it. Don't worry about it.
I wasn't calling for that actually.
This lady came at the shelter. Her name is Yoon Hong Ja.
She doesn't seem to be alright.
But her age matches your description.
I thought that she could be your mother.
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
You will understand me one day.
Does it keep you warm at night?
No... not at all.
Sis.
Where have you been? What about dinner?
I ate.
What is this?
Salmon, macaron, swiss cheese... what is all this?
Where did you get all this?
- Someone gave them to me. - Who gave you something so expensive?
Don't eat it then.
I never said I didn't like it.
Mom! Try this! It's so sweet.
Yeah?
I shouldn't have eaten ramen.
Should I throw it up right now?
- You didn't get any calls? - What calls?
From thugs.
No.
Take it.
Hello? Hey! Will you stop already?
You should give us room to breathe.
After what you've done yesterday!
What? What do you mean?
What?
You're waiving the interest off?
Really?
Mi Joon! Wipe the dust off right there.
Hello.
Hi.
[We have a lot of books! They are on a special sale today!]
[I named the new power that came to me, "love."] You like it?
There is something you're good at.
Of course, I'm a member of Seo family.
Shut up.
Arrogant fool.
Is anyone outside?
Yes Boss.
Where is Han?
I think he's working out.
Okay, get out.
Also I scheduled it at 6:30 today.
Okay I got it! Get out!
Yes sir.
Hello?
It's Baek Sung Joo. Help me.
I'm locked up.
Hey.
What are you doing?
Should I go with this one or...
This one?
I couldn't decide. I was pretty much locked up here for 3 hours.
I didn't know what to wear to your Boss's birthday party today.
I couldn't ask him.
Don't ever make jokes like this.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday dear Boss!
Happy birthday to you.
Yeah!
Take a shot everyone!
Long live Boss!
Cheers!
Take a seat!
The cake looks like a hedgehog.
It means I'm old.
They put all the candles there to embarrass me.
Maybe they are jealous of your pretty girlfriend.
Who called him here?
She gets more beautiful every time I see her.
I'm your boyfriend's best friend.
Of course I have to come for his birthday.
I thought you were here to lease an office space.
Just sit there quietly and drink.
Thank you for not kicking me out.
Is there anything like a 'congratulations performance'?
I can't leave you alone.
You're already seeing someone else.
Oh my goodness!
Thank you everyone!
Next is.
Our brain.
Han Tae Sang!
- Dong Geul! - Yes sir.
You called the wrong number.
Whose birthday is it today?
Is it Han's birthday?
Sorry about that.
Come back.
They were having fun. Don't ruin the party.
Tae Sang.
Sing a song.
You know I can't sing sir.
Then dance!
Sorry Boss.
I will serve you a shot.
It's been 15 years already since we've met.
You're old enough to get married now.
I still have a lot of days.
Any news about your mother?
- I'm not really concerned. - That's not right.
She's still your mother.
You're old enough to understand your mother as a person now.
You should forgive her.
It was thanks to your mother that we met.
I thank your mother for sending you to me.
On that beautiful day.
Hey, kid.
Find your brother first. What did he do wrong?
I guess they took your brother because they felt sorry for that poor lad.
He probably didn't turn out alright.
Do you have anything else?
You guys!
Don't you want to know what Han looked like when he was 17?
I don't want to know.
Back then...
He was a pretty boy.
He was valedictorian at his school.
But...
After what happened to him...
He had hatred in his eyes and fists.
So I took him in and raised him.
What happened to him?
Han Tae Sang's mother...
I guess she was a real beauty.
I'd prefer you talk about these things when I'm not around.
Who says you could leave?
Huh?
Who do you think you are to waive someone's interest?
The business plan my ass!
What the hell is in your head nowadays?
I don't want to be just a neighborhood loan shark thug.
What?
Try to see how the world works. You can't run private loans like this anymore.
Read my report again.
Hey you bastard!
You treacherous asshole.
Since when could you waive someone's interest?
How much of my money did you take?
The head of a family of four tried to kill himself.
Do you know how much interest you've taken from that family?
And? You wanted to merciful?
You went to the hotel with their daughter!
If you had me followed by a pro you wouldn't have thought that.
Know your place.
Does this keep you warm at night?
You!
You will live like this and die.
Then this is all you will amount to be.
I never wanted to live like this.
I...
I tried my best.
Take care.
I'm leaving you now.
It's a real special birthday today.
You will remember it forever.
Hey.
Move this.
Hey.
Move this!
Okay!
Straighten up and focus on your school work.
Hey! It's not time for me to study.
I need to make money.
How?
I'm preparing for an audition.
I will pay for your college.
So don't worry.
I will pay the debt off too.
What the hell is all this?
What the hell?
Who are you?
- Did you get into a college? - Why do you care?
He says to use it for your tuition.
Our Tae Sang.
Han Tae Sang...
Says that this is your tuition. He wanted me to give it to you.
What about the interest? What is the rate?
There is none.
You can go ask him if you really want to know.
Where is he right now?
How about you buy me?
Use me as much as that money.
Does it keep you warm at night?
Hey.
- Wait! - Talk to me.
What are you doing here?
What is this?
- He didn't tell you? - Why are you doing this to me?
Can't you tell that I'm bathing? Let's talk later.
I don't have time.
That's your business.
This is a beach-wear-only area.
You can take your clothes off and come in. If you really need to talk.
Get it over with.
What made you come all the way here?
What is this bank account?
Think of it as a scholarship.
I will deposit money into that account every semester.
I don't want a thug's money.
I'm leaving this.
You told me on that day...
Does it keep me warm at night?
If I had gotten someone's help in your age, my life would have been different.
That's why I sent you that account book.
It was like helping my old self.
I can work part-time and make money.
This is all too much for me.
Then give it to someone else.
I just want to help someone.
Then find that person yourself and help her.
Seo Mi Do.
Why are you speaking in honorifics today?
People tend to adjust their dream to the reality as their life gets harsh.
I don't want you to do that.
That's why I want to take off the burden of tuition at least.
There is no deadline. There is no interest.
Don't worry about it.
Okay?
Excuse me!
I have a really short temper.
Stop arguing and just take it.
Han Tae Sang!
You're so rude. Can't you see that they are rehearsing?
Come here!
It hurts so much.
That smells nice.
Are you going to kill your only brother?
It's because you don't study!
Of course I study.
I just went there to exercise.
You should get ready to go study abroad.
Study abroad my ass.
You hit me on the same spot again.
Go when I tell you to go.
I said I will have the money ready.
Why do I have to study abroad when we can't even afford it?
You're going to downsize your dream to something you can afford?
This is what the man I really like said.
Even in the slum hole...
The real courage is to not give up on your dreams.
Go play in the big league.
I have a reason to make you a great man.
What is that reason?
I will tell you when you're old enough.
- Forget it. - Eat up.
Tell me honestly. What kind of work do you do?
What work? I work at the hospital.
You don't believe me? It's for real.
If something happens to you, I'm going to die too.
You are my friend, my father... My only family.
I know!
That's why you have to work hard and become someone great.
Okay?
Eat up then.
The faster the better.
Tonight is the best.
Are you really going to sleep here?
I got a cabin reserved for you.
I like it here better.
Okay.
I will come over with beer later.
Okay.
Chang Hee?
Is that you?
Hey.
I think he sent people already.
I don't know where you are, but you should hide.
Who sent you?
Was it Boss Kim?
Who was it?
- There! Flush! - Flush.
I'm lucky today.
Damn it.
You're lucky today. Why don't you be more generous?
Let me read the contract first.
Of course.
Help me this once, and I will never forget it.
[ IOU Note ]
I thought I helped you many times.
Don't you think so?
Of course. I remember it all.
But this time there is something really nice.
You've become a big shot.
You're even buying a building.
Why don't you hand over the cash today?
It's today's date.
Did you finish the job?
Where do you want them?
- In the back. - Okay.
Oh my god!
What are you doing?
Stop!
What are you doing?
30 billion Won has been deposited.
Mr. Yoon! Let's have a toast.
Take a shot.
For your survival.
This is it?
I will send someone better next time.
It's my fault for taking you in.
What could you have learned from your mother?
Let's not ever see each other again.
The day I see you again, one of us will have to die.
I know that there is something between you two.
It's Han's girlfriend.
What do you think?
He deserves better.
He betrayed me for her. And he took my money.
For that girl!
You stab me in the back?
Watch it yourself.
This is what happens when you betray me.
Come sign this!
Let her go.
This is between you and me.
Just sign the blank sheet.
I will write the content afterward.
Let go.
Go! Now!
Go!
Go faster!
Now!
Go now!
Go.
Mom! I'm home! I'm home!
Mom.
[Sorry, forgive me. You will understand one day.]
Where is she?
Who are you?
Where is she?
Who are you?
Where is your mother?
Please tell me.
Who are you? What are you doing at my place?
What is she doing with her husband working hard in the Middle East?
Father... Take this and get up.
Father. Get up.
Father.
You should pay it back by today.
The money your mom borrowed.
Get lost.
Tae Sang.
Let go!
They call kids like you orphans of debt.
You will fight well when I feed you some meat.
[7 years later]
This is MBS morning news.
The first news.
The biggest private loan company, Golden Tree merged with Nabi Capital.
This is the first time a private lender has bought out a financial institution.
There is an unusual interest in the finance market...

Thank you, Honey.
You must have been busy, and yet you still took care of my birthday.
What are you doing here?
What happened to the school I sent you?
- The money I sent you was not enough? - It was not enough.
I need to talk about money.
I found some hidden stash.
Let's share it.
Or you will die.
Is someone after you?
Tell me! What's going on?
Please take care of my brother.
Make him the best.
You work here starting tomorrow. Right here. Next to me.
