Tae Yang.
You'll do well, right?
Yeah. I'll do well.
High kick! That's good, that's good.
Punch!
Die!
Hello. My name is Han Tae Yang.
I came here to work on referral from Byung Chun.
You were told to come at 6.
I thought there would be a lot to learn with it being my first day, so I came early.
-Wait out there. -Yes, I understand!
I gave you this job especially because he told me
that you're broke from taking care of your sister.
If you get me in trouble, you're dead.
Yes!
Huh?
Auctioneer?
Please take care of me.
We don't have any female auctioneers here.
There never has been one. Ever since we've been in operation.
I heard I was the first.
I'll work even harder because of that.
This is an auction market.
This is a place even male auctioneers get cut out quickly if they're not skilled.
But...you?
I may not have the real life experience, but I have the qualification.
In here, your career history is first, and resumes come after that.
This isn't a place where you can just start working just because of a piece of paper.
Do you know how cut throat this place is?
Do you think a girl like you can last here?
I'm not a girl, but an auctioneer Mok Ga On.
An old fashioned thought that I can't do it because I'm a woman,
I don't think is realistic.
If you can set your prejudice aside, and guide me...
When you're that smart, do you think there's anything you can learn from us?
What are you talking about? We should be the ones to learn.
There's someone who used to guide me.
As an example, there was a cucumber, and I knew that it was a cucumber.
But if he said it was a zucchini, then I would shout "Yes, it's a zucchini"!
That's what I used to do.
But I guess I was an idiot.
A smart girl like you must find us silly?
I'm sure she doesn't even take us seriously.
For a smart protegee of ours... we recommend that you learn on your own.
Do you see the wall back there that says "Our commitment"?
Go up there, and read it yourself and learn it.
Yes, I understand.
Hurry up. We're late.
Nice to meet you all. My name is Han Tae Yang.
I'll be working with you from today. Please take care of me.
What should I throw down?
This is a big game. I guess it's a big bet, right?
You going to play?
No. I can't play go-stop.
What about drinking?
I don't drink.
Then sew your mouth shut and go sleep.
Yes, I understand.
Aren't you going to work?
Yes. Yes...I'm coming.
Excuse me, sir.
This is heaven.
What? Heaven?
I...go crazy whenever I'm around fruits and vegetables.
i like to eat it, and I like to see it.
And just smelling it like this makes me happy.
That's why I've always wanted to work here.
-With this overwhelming size... -Just give it an hour.
Your heaven will turn into hell.
-Soaked dirty carrots! -Soaked dirty carrots!
Why...are you doing that?
You'll find out.
Captain. Do you know that carrots are the best when it comes to diarrhea?
I got the worst stomach flu when I had some bad fish when I was younger.
-At that time... -Be quiet, you brat.
We have to unload the produce.
I'm sorry.
Now...cheers! Cheers!
-I said be quiet. But still, there should be some pressure.
Now...cheers, cheers, cheers!
What is this?
Did you come out here to play?
What are you doing? Move!
Hey, hey.
You can't throw that. It'll ruin the produce.
Don't you feel sorry when you think of the people who worked hard to grow these?!
I'm sorry.
Hey, hey. This isn't it.
You should look at the markings when you unload. The markings.
Markings?
It's written on the boxes.
Do you think it's right to charge for the price of small for the larger sized ones?
Pull it out quickly.
Can't you see us suffering because of you?
This bastard is a total pain.
Get out. I said, get out brat.
Stop getting in the way, and move.
-Bosung onions! -Bosung onions!
Look at you sapped of energy already.
Bosung onions!
Hey, did we really get her in trouble?
Why doesn't it feel like we're in trouble.
Monster.
Hey.
Hey. Get your head on straight. Okay?
Time to start! Joo Myung Gon!
Have some coffee.
It's gourmet coffee. 60 cents.
You're going to the auction area, right? I'm coming with you.
I'm saying this for your benefit.
Please change your mind.
You're not going to last long anyhow, so just go home now, okay?
Didn't you say you even graduated from college?
Even though they say that the job market is sparse right now,
but someone like you could go anywhere and earn money easier than here.
Go back home?
Yes, I understand.
I'll do it once I get off of work.
Go back home!
Ah, what the heck? Move!
-What the hell is she? -Sorry, customer.
New underling doesn't know her way yet.
Underling?
A chick?
You can't even find your way, but you act so smart...
-Sunbae. (Can be used to call mentor) -Forget it. Don't apologize.
-If you think you got your senses back now... -No.
What is...an underling?
A newbie like you doesn't even have a name here.
You're all just underlings.
You want to be called by your proper name?
Hey, hey. Don't even dream about it.
Until you stand as an auctioneer yourself, you're just an underling.
Underling.
It's cute.
This is the beginning. Let's father our strength, underling.
Dad.
I was trying not to wake you up.
What are you doing here?
Since you weren't getting off, I got on.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure you're upset because I keep acting like this.
To be honest, I had a pretty big shock because of a recent incident.
When you told me you secretly got your certification,
I didn't stop you because I'm sure you thought about it a lot.
But you seem to keep chasing after hard roads, so it hurts my heart.
Don't think of it as hardship, but just think of me as a graduate student.
The mall was a customer service course. The auction market is distribution course.
Since I'm even getting paid a wage while taking courses, it makes me a graduate student.
Other people are afraid they'll just become old when they retire,
But I'm really looking forward to retirement.
I'm dying to know how amazingly you will lead the company once you take over the position.
I'll put every effort into preparation so that I won't disappoint you.
You're in big trouble when you get home.
Mom found out you're working at the auction market.
Are you crazy?!
Did you forget who you are?
You forgot all about who your dad is, and who your mom is, right?
If that's not it, how could you do something like this?
Let's say that there's the benefit of the
advertising to the employees while you were saying greetings at the mall garage.
But an auction market?
What if people find out you're working at a market?
Everyone will say you're out of your mind!
Even without that, there's a lot of talk about how weird your actions are.
I'm so embarrassed because of you, that I can't even go out as I please!
Don't overreact.
DO you think I don't have the right to overreact?
Can you understand what goes on in her head?
She even went to study abroad.
But she leaves all the comfortable positions, and goes out to work at low end jobs.
Are you saying you understand it?
Ga On says she has plans of her own.
It's not bad that she gains outside experience
while she's still young before working for the company.
Even though you may be able to let it go that easily, I can't.
Do you know people say when she goes around doing all these strange things?
They said that since you were born out of wedlock, that you must be weird!
They say since she's not a pure bred, she acts too much like a half breed!
It upsets me so much!
What do you mean out of wedlock, and being strange?
Have you been watching too many historical dramas lately?
Honey. I'm in no mood to joke around.
Ga On is really tired right now. Let her get cleaned up and sleep.
Promise me that you'll quit immediately.
Until you say that you'll quit that job with your own mouth,
I'm not moving an inch from here.
-Mom. -Forget it. Don't say anything else.
I'll do as you say mom. Just say that.
Mok Ga On!
Can't you just trust me, and just watch?
You're acting like this because of your dad.
You. Come here. Let's talk alone.
I said let her sleep!
Don't you know what I expect from you?
To live like my daughter.
To live shining most brightly like my daughter, Mok Ga On.
But why do you keep going sideways like this?
That's why I'm doing this.
I want to be the most experienced, and follow dad's footsteps better than anyone.
That's the way I can live the most brightly.
Do you think you have that kind of qualification?
What does that mean?
The fact that your dad lets you get away with whatever you do is because...
he thinks you're his blood.
It's because he thinks you're talented just like he is.
If I were you...
Instead of going around doing useless things,
I would be out looking for a man who really has the capabilities.
A man who has the brains to really follow in your dad's footsteps.
Don't you think that's truly for the benefit for your dad and the company?
Do you...think that I can't do it?
Maybe you can do it.
Since you're smart.
But to hang your hopes on that rare chance,
don't you think that seat you're trying to sit on is too high?
I'm not trying to sit on that seat because it's up high.
It's because I want to repay for the rest of my life.
The sin that we have committed to dad.
Sin?
I told you never to say that word again.
Since I'm sure...
you know better than anyone...
just how much dad loves you.
I believe that you won't do anything to make dad sad.
Get some rest.
You've worked hard.
Thank you.
You worked hard.
I'm sorry. I just created nuisance.
It's okay.
-I didn't even do anything... -We just split it evenly among everyone.
-Gentle, gentle, gentle. -Just hold on.
I told you to be gentle!
I'm dying of pain here.
I don't care if it hurts. I told you never to do manual labor.
All you've got is your one body. If you get really sick, then you're dead.
Who's the one who wasted all the money that your brother worked himself sick over?
Stop talking about past things, and try to find some more elegant work.
Your sister Han Tae In is about to get employed at a high fashion company soon.
What if my plans take a setback because of you?
What setback?
Don't you watch any dramas?
If a poor girl meets a rich heir, then his mom does a background check on her.
But if you're doing manual labor at a market, do you think that mom will just sit still?
I'm sure she won't just sit still.
I'm sure she'll give me money and tell me to send you to America.
Tae Yang!
-I'm being serious. -I'm being serious too!
I'm a Korean man through and through with my patience and tenacity.
but if I quit reeking of these medicated tabs just because I fainted once,
it's humiliating.
The biggest loser in the world isn't someone who lost the fight...
but the one who got scared, and ran away. I know, I know.
Stop repeating what grandma said. Aren't you even sick of it?
Sick of it? No way. With each passing day, words become even truer and food for the soul.
So what are you going to do?
In this condition, you're going to work again?
Yeah.
A person should repay grace and kindness.
Oh, my back.
Tae Yang...
Tae In. Don't think about trying to stop me anymore.
It's not that.
This envelope... you're going to give it to me, right?
No.
You've changed.
I'll give the envelope, but give you the money. Satisfied?
Tae Yang. Please be careful.
When I get married, you know you'll be my only family?
You, you. There you go attacking my weak spot again!
I got it. I'll be careful.
You're really quick.
Move.
Bye!
Hello!
I'm really sorry about what happened.
Please take care of me today too.
Captain, you're here.
You came again?
To be honest...
I hesitated a lot because this is such hard work.
But...
I who could barely do any work, and only caused nuisance...
still got paid equally, and felt I should repay my mentors somehow for their grace.
So I gathered up my wits again.
Um. From now on...
What right do you have to crawl back in here again, huh?
You should know to be humiliated if you got paid equally when you didn't even work!
You...
don't you know what it means when we split it evenly among head count?
If an idiot like you who can't even do his own work comes in,
that means others have to work like dogs to get paid the same pay you get, you ass!
Get lost. Don't even piss in this direction from now on.
You got it?
Captain!
Oh my...he's going to end up crying.
I'm so angry, I don't think I can let this go.
Really? Then do you want to have a match?
Give me one more chance.
I want to work with you guys.
Do you think anyone can do this job? You can't.
I can.
I said you can't.
I can!
Get lost!
My grandma said this once.
No matter how bad you are at something, you can just work hard until you find your way!
Until I can stop being a nuisance and start doing my share of the work,
I will do whatever you tell me to do!
Whatever?
Yes. Whatever!
Just tell me what to do.
Why are you stopping? Don't stop!
-Hurry! Start! -What are you doing, huh?
If you're going to be a side show anyhow, you should do it right.
Lift up your arms and wave.
Ah! Seriously!
Look at this body. The kids these days sure come fresh!
Wait. Let me see what it says on his back.
Don't look.
I'm a hole?
Oh my! If you came out to be funny, then just let it all go!
No kidding!
What are you doing? Let it go, and do it right.
I've completed my mission!
Han!
If you're going to work, you have to win the bet.
A bet?
What bet?
There's another load going to another group.
The side that moves all these first, wins.
All of them?
Why? Are you intimidated?
Well to someone who fainted from moving a few boxes of carrots, I'm sure it's daunting.
Instead of getting humiliated for attempting something so daunting,
why don't you just give up?
No. I can do it.
If you lose the bet, it doesn't just end with you being kicked out.
It means that these good guys will get crap smeared all over their faces.
If you start swaying again like yesterday, then...
you're dead in our hands.
That will not happen.
I've decided before I die in the hands of them, I'd rather die under the weight first.
I'll for sure win.
Only your mouth is alive and kicking.
Underling.
You know which car I drive, right?
I finished the car wash.
Underling.
I'm...really picky.
I'm done...with the car wash.
Underling.
I don't think you've had enough practice.
Underling.
To an auctioneer, this auction clock is your church, religion, and the law.
Underling.
An auction block's cleanliness is the auctioneer's most basic given.
If you can't even clean right,
do you think you have the right to stand on the auction block?
I didn't come here to clean!
See? I said a chick can't last here.
This isn't an easy place.
I've finished cleaning!
Wait!
Look at this, look at this.
I knew this would happen.
I wiped the keyboard.
Can't you see the dust stuck in between the crevices?
Hey.
If the information goes in wrong during the auction because of the keyboard,
do you know how horrific things would get?
It's a total chaos. A total chaos!
That's why if the wrong underling comes in, emergency stuff keeps on happening!
I'm sorry. I'll do it again.
Until you can get this cleaned right, don't even dream about going home.
Why aren't you answering? Do you understand?
Yes! I understand.
Underling...underling.
Hyungnim! (Older male figure for other males)
Those guys are competing.
Really? Where?
Over there. I think there are 2 underlings going up against each other.
Really?
Why is that kid...being so slow?
What did you say?
Can you try pulling the buggy?
Excuse me?
Pull this buggy?
Is this what you wanted to show me?
Yes.
Today's bet was the one who finishes quicker wins.
Because of this, the winner doesn't change.
I will cleanly acknowledge my loss.
But...
I know you would've done it like me, Captain.
What?
The hyungnims in our group...
No matter how busy and rushed they are,
they don't carelessly treat the produce that others grew with their sweat, tears and blood.
That's why I really wanted to work with them.
Even though I have a very long road to travel before I can work like they do,
but I will work myself to death to be able to follow in their footsteps.
So please, let me stay.
Be quiet, be quiet. Just be quiet.
Clean this up.
Captain!
Then you're letting me stay?
I'll take it that you're letting me stay!
Thanks a lot for earlier.
Ah seriously. I seriously lost this time.
It just happened that way on chance.
Wait!
You...
can't think that I'm a strange person.
That is...
The other time...um... just in my underwear...
If you didn't know the situation, you may think I'm a crazy person.
Underling.
Hey hole!
Yes!
What are you doing there?
-Come quickly. -Yes, yes!
Eat.
I'm buying.
I'll eat well.
I'm fine.
I can't let it affect my work tomorrow.
Who told you to come in tomorrow?
Take it. One or two will help you sleep, so it's good.
You have to sleep well to work tomorrow.
Ah, yes!
Thank you! I'll work hard!
Hello.
I'm sorry. I'll do it again.
My captain gave this to me today, as to not forget my determination today.
It seems like you need this piece of reminder too.
Enjoy eating it, and get your spirits up. Fighting!
I'm sorry sir.
No. My affection for my monster is a little extreme.
Work hard.
I'm sorry monster.
This is why I wish I can feed you your food myself.
Bu then Mrs. Hwang will go crazy saying that makes the employees uncomfortable.
You understand, right?
Goodbye!
Just one day. If I could live like him for just 1 day, I'd have no other wish.
Seul Woo.
Seul Woo! Hurry up and come out.
Why do you take so much time changing your clothes when you're a boy?
So who told you to follow me all the way here?
When we could've just met up at the venue later.
Oh my. Do you think I came because I wanted to?
Well that...laun...laun...
Launching show. Launching show, aunt.
Yeah, that.
Dam Bi said if you're going to attend that,
it's proper to wear something from this store, so I came without a choice.
Do you think my life is slow enough for me to chase my son's tail around?
But what is it?
You hate that kind of stuff.
I really begged her.
Because I so wanted to go with my aunt.
I told her I'll get her another invitation, so she could go with her mother,
but she said she really wanted to go with me.
In that case, it would be better not to even go.
It's still the same?
You know I'm kind of bad.
So you do know that you're bad?
You're not exactly a kind son either.
Dan Bi. Pick out something. I'll buy it for you.
That's okay. I already brought it.
That's right. I'm not a huge fan of dropping money at places like this.
If you have that kind of money, you should save it, and...
You should buy land!
Land.
Look at the way you talk! You obnoxious little brat!
Are you buying that one?
I don't know. Should I try something else on?
Why try on something else?! All the suits are pretty much the same.
It's cool, it's cool.
How much is it?
Ring it up for me.
I already picked out a scarf before you got here.
Do you know how much this one little scarf costs?
This little thing costs more than land!
You know how much I cared when this brand first came to Korea, right?
Of course. It's a legend in this industry.
-That difficult CEO... -Today is the day we show the world the result.
I'm sure there are a lot of people who are here just to see me get humiliated.
-You can't make any mistakes. -Yes. I'll be extremely thorough.
But...is Ga On coming today?
Of course she should be here.
Get her seat ready next to mine.
Can Seul Woo and Dan Bi pose for us?
Yes! VIP!
My eyes definitely know how to pick them out.
I guess he's not gay. That's a relief.
What are you doing here? When we're so short staffed?
I'm sorry.
Oh my...hello.
Oh my...nice seeing you here.
Yes...
Hello.
Why didn't you say hello?
Aren't they someone that aunt knows?
Didn't you see their face turn sour after mom greeted them?
They're the type of people who think their level will drop just by talking to us.
Why?
It means they think I'm an ignorant idiot.
How can they seat women like that in the same table with us?
Do they think just because she smells like money, she's VIP?
I guess those alike can hang together.
She's a mistress who pushed her way into the bedroom using her body.
Even though she may have completely gotten her body redone,
where would she go with her shallow personality?
Miss, your bag.
Thank you.
Do you know what people say when she goes around doing weird stuff?
Since you were born out of wedlock, you must be a weirdo!
Since you can't fit in with the purebreds, they say we act too much like half breeds!
What are you doing? Get those out quickly.
Yes.
I'm sorry mom. I'll be in there right away.
Yes, I'm sorry.
What do I do? I can't get caught with this.
You're right.
I'm equivalent to a God.
If you knew that, you should've been more cautious with your words.
The reason you're getting fired from our company isn't because of that foreign car.
But it's because you acted rudely to the only daughter of Mok Young Group.
I wonder if she's more pretty because she's like a poisonous mushroom.
She's a mistress who pushed her way into Mok Young Group's bedroom.
Even if she may have had her body redone,
but where would she go with her shallow personality?
Be careful.
She's really depressed right now.
Did something happen?
I can't say it myself.
I'm sorry for being late. Are you really angry?
Mom.
Mom, what's wrong?
What happened?
Take a good look.
You're the only one in this world who can see my tears, Ga on.
You know, right?
Even though people may say I hit the jackpot when they see me...
but that nothing has changed for me.
Since I'm always in a ship with a hole.
If I don't do everything I can to get the water out,
I never know when it's going to sink.
Even though the boat I'm in right now may be much bigger and fancier,
but the speed in which it sinks, doesn't slow down because of those factors.
Since the people who are shaking the boat just wishing for me to fall over...
the number of them grew even more.
Ga On.
Yes.
Whether you want to roll around in the market, or the garage, do what you want.
If it means that you can get to Mok Young Group, no the highest seat there is...
No matter what you do, I won't interfere.
However...
there's something you can never forget at any moment.
That you're the only one who can pull me and my sinking boat to the shore.
The life line that I'll be holding onto...
isn't your dad, but you.
I will make that life line strong so you can climb all the way to the top.
To make that happen, you have to become even more clever than you are now.
And stronger.
Whether you sit in your dad's seat yourself,
or if you find some man to put into that seat,
you can't care about the methods, and fight your way through to the top.
So that no one...no one can touch us.
So that no one...no one can ignore us.
For mom.
Okay?
What the hell was that?
Telling us to sit elsewhere when there aren't any other open seats!
Aunt. This isn't any different than kicking us out!
Don't get upset over it.
Instead, why don't we go grab a drink, and eat some grilled meat somewhere?
Oh well. It's better anyhow since we got to leave when it doesn't even suit my aptitude.
Oh no. His bad attitude just got activated.
-Hey, you try and do something. -I'm not stopping him this time.
I'm really pissed too.
Let's go.
Whatever. I'm leaving.
It's because of her that she's mad today.
Ahjumma! (Common term for middle aged woman).
Ahjumma.
Even if you're busy, why don't you say your hello?
What? Ahjumma?
Move.
I don't think I can move until you can nicely exchange greetings with my mom.
-Hey Seul Woo. -Aunt, don't stop him.
Do you...know who I am?
Of course I know.
You appear in those magazines that people read to pass time in the salons.
The pictures are definitely better.
What did you say?
In those trash magazines, you come off as a really bright and nice person.
Please move.
The event is starting soon, so we need to go in.
That's why...just accept my mom's greeting in good manners and politely, and go on in.
Does saying hello take an hour or a day or something?
The thing is we don't have the time...
How dare you tell me to greet her?
How dare you stare me down and act like a brat?
No matter how the time has changed, you can't ever buy respect.
Since you grew up under the parenting of someone who just chases the smell of money...
I'm sure no one taught you that.
I wonder if this is why they say you can know the parent when they see their child?
Even if you can raise the child because you have the money,
you still can't buy the child class and manners that they don't have themselves.
So...
Just know that the more you act out, your parent will receive shallow treatment.
That lady must be crazy!
I'm surprised.
How can you think so alike me?
I thought the same thing when I saw your daughter.
What did you say?
Even though I saw it accidentally,
an innocent looking daughter like that stepping all over another girl very cruelly.
Maybe you don't remember because it happens so often?
From the mall garage.
She even got down on her knees and begged.
This is what I thought of when I saw that scene.
Just what kind of a parents did she grow up under to become so cold and nasty?
But after meeting you today,
that mystery is solved.
I wonder if this is why you know the parent when you see their child?
If anything I feel bad for your daughter.
To grow up with such a scary and poisonous mom...
just thinking about it scares me.
Apologize.
How do you know to say that?
Apologize!
Apologize to my mom immediately!
The ones who should be receiving an apology is us.
Don't you know who ignored people and angered us first?!
The only thing I know...!
is that my mom is an elder to you.
And that you have no right to hurt my mom.
So formally apologize.
Just apologize!

Throw it all out! Throw them out immediately!
Seriously! What are you doing?!
Why are you drinking my water? So gross!
When are you going to finish all this?
Do you need some helping hands?
but if I were to have another child, I'm sure I'll give that child a stronger line.
-Open it! -I won't open it.
-I said open it. -I said, no!
