[Episode 1] With the downfall of the economy
the unemployment rate is at its lowest in history.
And what's more shocking is that unemployment rate is now over 20 percent.
In another words, our nation is now in danger.
High tuition cost and now murderous unemployment rate...
combined with the fact that no companies seem to be hiring any new employees...
people have given up joining the working force and the unemployment rate keeps on climbing.
[Level 7 Civil Servant]
What is he doing?
Oh my goodness!
Oh my goodness! What the heck!
The procedure involves the gathering of information from photos and videos.
Military procedures involves using military measures to gather data.
There are thirty one steps to this process.
Collection, planning direction, analysis and production!
This is the process on which our country depends!
We'll stop here for the day.
I love our guests.
This is Mirae Shopping Center, your happiness is our top priority.
Please enjoy your shopping experience.
I love our guests.
- One! - One!
- Two! - Two!
- One! Two! - One! Two!
- Salute! - We'll stop here for the day.
- To the country... - Loyalty!
- To the parents! - Filial duties!
- We are! - Brave children!
Dismissed.
Stop! Stop!
That's right! That's right!
Ah... seriously!
You must've done a lot of tuning.
- Or did you work on your skills? - You must be a total newbie.
Children always seemed to blame the car when they lose.
They always say that they have the skills, but their cars are a piece of junk.
Why don't we go another round?
How about setting up a date for another race?
- Why? - We have to determine who the winner is.
Why bother doing another race when we already know who the winner is?
Why don't you go practice some more?
If you don't have the skills, get yourself another car instead.
Let's do it.
- I don't want to. - Because you're afraid?
Because of the difference in our skill level.
It's not a difference in our skill level, but a difference in the engine displacement.
Who won't be able to drive that fast in a car like this?
Stop whining and if you want to do it that badly...
why don't you place your bet on your car?
- My car? - Why? Not feeling confidant?
This is no child's play.
Let's do it!
And we'll bet our cars.
That'll be 3,000 won.
- Thank you. Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Kyung Ja!
Jin Joo!
What about your tutoring job... did you quit?
I got fired.
I got fired because I couldn't raise the kids' school grades up.
They have rocks for brains, don't they?
Just because they're a diplomat's children, it doesn't mean that they're always smart.
Just finish your drink and go.
It's going to get busy soon with all the customers.
- Do you... want a part time job? - I already have three right now as is.
- Even if I wanted to, I have no time for it. - I'm not talking about a lowly job like this.
A job where you can make some money.
- What? - A job that utilizes your skills.
Your superior knowledge, your above average looks...
and your average... body.
What is it?
You want me to go on dates with men?
You'll get to eat for free, drink for free and make some money.
And if you find someone who's decent, you snatch him up and get married.
How great is that?
Isn't that illegal?
But in exchange, it pays great.
We normally start off paying 100,000 won per date...
But I'll give you a special rate of 130,000 won date.
I'm not going to do it.
If you do well, you can even earn 300,000 won per month!
If you keep up your cycle of working, and taking a semester off and vice versa...
it's going to take you 10 years to graduate from college!
When you get the chance to make some cash, you need to lunge for it!
Hey...
It's not right to go on those dates when I have no intentions of getting married.
Forget it.
Kyung Ja... Kyung Ja!
I'll give you 5,000 won extra per date.
135,000 won!
- Here... at least take the business card. - I told you, I'm not doing it!
Fine, fine. Don't do it!
You...
Then, just sit back and watch as I commit suicide after going bankrupt.
'The Right Person Matchmaking Agency'
We will stop here for today with our lessons.
We will spend the rest of our class preparing for the civil servant interviews.
Han Pil Hoon.
Is he not in class?
This is why he's been coming to the class for three years now.
- Kim Kyung Ja. - Yes.
Please come up to front of the class.
Even though, I have stressed this all the time...
please remember that a lie during the civil interview is detected right away.
- Only sincerely and confidence. Understood? - Yes.
- Miss Kim Kyung Ja? - Yes.
What motivates you to become a civil servant for this country?
My dream is to become a PD at an educational broadcasting station...
to right this unconscionable world and put an order to it.
- But in the employment counseling room... - Wait a minute!
What's wrong with you? Seriously!
You told us to be sincere.
You should've said, you will sacrifice and serve for the country!
Do you think that a civil servant position is just a stepping stone...
on your way to becoming a TV producer?
Let's try it again.
- Miss Kim Kyung Ja? - Yes?
Why did you apply?
- For the sake of my country? - With confidence!
I applied with the hopes and dreams to serve and sacrifice for the better of my country!
That was perfect!
Pride. The call of duty. Self-sacrifice!
- Do you understand? - Yes.
What time is it?
It's 3:38.
Come have a seat over here.
What did you do today?
I studied for my exams.
- What exams? - The civil servant exam.
You call that an answer?
The only thing you're managing to do in the three years since you've graduated...
from college is to get ready for the civil servant exam?
You've wasted away the last three years to get ready for a useless thing like that?
Why is what I want to do useless?
A man can make and move 300 billion won in a three years' time!
How much does a civil servant make?
Forget all that. Start working at the company as of tomorrow.
- I told you, I'm not made for business. - Are you a doctor?
How do you know if you're made for it or not?
What can be possibly cooler than owning your own company?
A legislative representative position only lasts for four years...
and even if you become the president, that only lasts for five years.
They have to make their rounds around the filthy markets every term...
and beg for a dime for their campaign while forcing junk food down their throats.
There's nothing like that in business.
And there's not a single person who'll curse me out for doing what I do either.
It's just that personally... I disagree with the whole nepotism idea.
When are you ever going to grow up?
Are you still in your adolescent phase?
Please wake up and get your head straight.
By the time Jesus was your age, he turned water into wine!
He really is an admirable person.
And when I was your age, I turned 100,000 won into a million won!
Wow... I really admire you, Dad.
Son!
Have you had dinner?
Why is your father shouting so much?
Does it look like I don't have any reasons to be shouting about?
He turned out this way because you coddle him so much!
Listen to you. What are you saying that I've done?
You listen to me carefully.
I did my share of wandering in my younger days, but that's all a waste of your life.
Come in to the office starting tomorrow.
You think he's going to go in the office just because you're screaming at him like that?
Why are you out here taking his side when you should be asleep in bed?
How can you say such a thing?
How can family members take sides against one another?
You're taking his side right now!
If I was to pick sides, I'd pick yours. You think I'd pick his side?
Even when I voted, I voted for the person that you told me to vote for.
Did you see me voting for someone that Pil Hoon told me to vote for?
I told you to vote for him because he was the best candidate!
I heard that he's just got arrested again, and has to pay retribution again.
That idiot. To be caught over a mere 10 million won.
When there are countless people who gets away with billions of dollars.
One... two... three... four. One... two... three... four.
- I have a solution. - Solution, my butt.
A mere civil servant?
That boy has no dreams or ambitions as a man.
- I told you, I have a solution. - Solution, my butt!
Did you see a fortune teller?
My goodness, my goodness!
I heard it's been a year since he started telling fortunes.
But of all the fortune teller, I've never met someone who was so spot on.
He even knew about the time when our house was on fire and Pil Hoon almost dying.
He saw that?
The reason why he's going around acting the way he does...
is because he hasn't shed the bad omen that the cosmic universe has cast upon him.
Nothing goes his way, and destruction everywhere...
That's all just superstition.
Don't even think about doing any rites.
- But get some talisman if you want. - Talisman are useless.
He says there's only one solution.
A girl.
- Marry him off? - That would be even better.
The truth is, when you were living like that...
it's because you met me that you turned out like this.
If you hadn't, you think you would've ended up like this?
It's not that easy to meet a woman that he's fated to be with.
I got his fortune told.
Astrology sign, Tiger. Born in 1986.
The astrologist says it should be a girl riding a racing tiger.
You know that my astrology sign is a tiger.
Tiger sign women aren't too common...
Anyways, I called a place that's pretty reputable...
and I found some matches based on education, looks and compatibility.
Even all their credentials are impressive ranging from diplomats to judges.
Diplomats or judges... how much can they make with those positions?
Anyways... you take care of all that yourself.
And make him start coming into the office!
How can I get married at my age?
Who told you to get married? All I'm asking is for you to meet some girls.
I'm already seeing a lot of girls.
What signs are these girls that you're meeting?
Dog, bull, horse and a rooster.
How could you meet girls with such... dog, bull, horse, and a rooster!
Even if you combine all of them together, they can't equal one tiger!
This is why things aren't going well for you.
Don't give me any complaints...
and just meet ten girls that I want you to meet.
Mom, did you see a a fortune teller?
He's spot on.
Why don't you just do a rite instead?
Pil Hoon...
Can't you just grant your mother this one wish?
Why is everyone being like this to me?
Dad's wish is for me to take over his business...
and your wish is to marry me off.
Are those wishes for my own sake?
It's to make you and your father happy.
Is that so wrong?
When I sacrifice everything for you...
You can't even go on ten blind dates for your mother's sake?
I can't.
I'm late.
Want me to get you a new car?
- What kind of a car? - A nice car.
If you had listened to me better, I would've gotten you a new one already.
Didn't you say that you're running late? Why don't you get going?
Okay. I'll be going.
Then, you just want to go on five dates?
Yes, Mother.
I'll go on the blind dates.
You have to stay for a minimum of two hours.
And at the very least, you have to meet each of them twice.
Okay.
Let's go get a new car.
Why are you behaving like an amateur?
First, I need to see how you behave.
And if you try to blow through the dates, there won't be a car.
- Understood? - Yes, Mother.
Look at how sweet you are when you listen to me so well.
As long as you stop with your rants about becoming a civil servant.
You really...
are going to take the civil servant exam?
I'll go on the blind dates first.
Please enjoy your shopping experience.
[Mom]
Mom, I'm busy right now, so I'll...
What?
Dad, what?
What... is he badly hurt?
Stop crying. Okay, okay. I'll see if I can get home tomorrow.
We love our guests.
Stop being so stubborn and let's get you admitted at the hospital.
I told you, I'm fine.
Go to the hospital!
Oh my... what's the need to go stay at the hospital over a broken bone or two?
It's not like I'm dying of a disease.
Why do you get behind the tiller after drinking all the time?
It's not like this is the first time. How many times has it been now?
- Once in '75, in '79... and in '84... - Four times, Father. This is the fourth time.
We just haven't told you everything.
If we count even the small ones, that will be more than 12 incidents.
- Seriously, why tell her that? - I'm seriously about to lose my mind.
Why did you borrow someone else's tiller all the time and cause these accidents?
It's embarrassing.
If we had our own, I would've used ours.
I borrowed it because we don't have one of our own!
If you don't have one, then live accordingly.
Oh my, I'm about to lose my mind here.
Hey... do you not poop just because you don't have a toilet of your own?
I wouldn't poop then.
Why you little sass...
Fine! Then you'd better not ever let me catch you pooping again!
If you do, then I'll...
Why did you even call her to come home for?
I didn't tell her to come home. She came on her own.
You'd still had to have called her for her to know to come home.
Just go stay at the hospital.
Didn't they tell you that your bones won't heal easily because of your previous injuries?
Stop worrying about my bones, and just worry about yourself!
Oh my... how many years have you been going to college for now?
Other people would think that you've already gone through two rounds of medical school.
I told you not to come back home until you get a job, but why did you come down?
Oh my... you really don't ever listen, do you?
You think I came down for a visit because I had all this time and money to spend?
If you are hurt, then maybe you should've told me how badly you've been hurt.
And if you didn't planning on telling me, you shouldn't even have mentioned it.
When I asked how badly you've been hurt since she told me you can't even lay down or sit...
she said you've been hurt so badly that you can't even support yourself!
You think I'd be able to get a job or even study in that state?
So, why do you drink every single day without even missing a beat?
Why you sass... how dare you talk like that to you father without ever backing down?
You think you're Yoo Gwan Soon or something? (A famous female activist in Korean history)
Yoo Gwan Soon wasn't a lady, but a martyr.
Really?
I guess she was, huh?
You don't even know what you're talking about.
I'm never coming home again!
I won't come home again even if I do get a job!
- I'm leaving! - Don't come.
Don't come... don't come! Tell her not to come home. Don't come!
Hey, Kyung Ja!
- Stay and eat. At least eat before you go! - Forget it.
Then... why don't you at least take something back with you?
- Wait a minute... - It's okay.
Here, just take this.
What is this money?
- I have money, too. - What money?
You have to pay for father's hospital bills, and pay for the tiller to get repaired.
- Get a perm! - What's the need for a perm?
I only need to get it done once a year for the holidays.
I gave you some money last time for you to go get a perm.
Go get your hair colored, too. Stop wearing these tattered shirts!
What does it matter if it is a little tattered on the sleeves?
If anything, it keeps me cool because I get some ventilation through it.
Why are you screaming?
Take some kimchi with you at least!
Kyung Ja!
I said, take some kimchi back with you!
Kyung Ja!
Kyung...
That hot tempered girl...
Are you that great?
- Excuse me? - Do you usually ignore people like that?
I have an exam coming up soon.
Then, you should've just stayed home and studied.
Why did you even come on this date?
People watch TV while eating their meals... can't I study while on a blind date?
What shitty luck, seriously.
Ah... when should we meet again?
We should at least meet twice to get to know each other...
Why don't you go to a hospital and check your mental state first?
What a bunch of crap, seriously!
What kind of a jerk is this!
Hey! You better check how you live your life!
I see that you've taken out a loan for 1,400,000 won from a scholarship fund?
Yes.
I also see that you took out a loan for 1,600,000 won from the bank...
- I can't make it work? - I'm sorry.
The loan limit is 3,000,000 won.
You don't meet the requirements for it.
[Please deposit your fees for the graduation trip to Turkey.]
What the heck is this!
You can't do that!
You said you were going to get me the car!
Did you think that I wouldn't know about you doing other things while on your blind dates?
You violated our agreement.
I told you, it's not like that!
From their horoscopes down to their compatibility...
those girls matched your fate.
Do you know what I went through to select them and for you to behave that way to them?
- No car for you. - Mom!
Don't even call me 'Mom'.
No allowance for you from now on either. Hand over the card.
Are you really going to be like this?
You said you wanted the card.
I know that I didn't do what was expected of me.
But if she really was someone I was destined to be with...
don't you think she would've waited for me even for a minute no matter what I did?
Who would keep sitting there with you when you were acting that way?
You think a woman like that exists in this world?
Of course, there isn't. You want to know why?
Because there's no such thing as fate.
I don't believe in things like that.
I believe it.
Meet with the rest.
Fate comes to you like a thief in the night.
Hello.
Your fashion is very... postmodern.
- My name is Han Pil Hoon. - And I'm...
What kind of a name is Kyung Ja?
Does it even make sense that a diplomat's eldest daughter's name is Kyung Ja?
Diplomat?
I'm a diplomat's daughter?
You used to tutor at a diplomat's home.
You said that the Madame was good to you, and that you were like her own daughter.
Hey! My astrology sign is the ox!
There are only two requirements.
Astrology sign, Tiger. Born in 1986.
You have to stay there for at least two hours, and meet him at least twice.
- Try this on. - Can I just wear my own clothes?
This is too tight.
- I told you, I'll pay for it. - My clothes are just more comfortable.
That stuffy suit?
The black one?
I'm...
Kim Seo Won.
- You're a tiger sign, right? - No, I'm a leopard.
- Do you have anything specific to say? - No, nothing specific.
Then, why don't we each do our own thing?
Excuse me.
Miss Kim Seo Won.
- Yes? - What are you doing?
- I'm studying. - Preparing for an exam?
- Yes. - For a corporation?
A public enterprise?
Thank you.
- Goodbye. - Wait... you're leaving?
- Yes. - I just asked what you were studying for.
I told you. I'm studying for an exam.
Ah, yes.
Fine.
We have to meet one more, don't we? When do you want to get together?
- Tomorrow? - Tomorrow?
You're going to see me again? Why?
If you don't want to, then forget it.
- Goodbye. - Wait... hang on a second.
Let's meet. Tomorrow at the same time. Right here.
Really?
He asked to see you again?
He was a pretty decent person.
He's more than a hundred percent qualified.
Good education, good looks, and from a rich family.
If things go well for you with him, you're really going to owe me one!
Okay?
Not that... he was decent because he didn't interfere with my studying.
Hey! Are you crazy?
Hey... do you think studying while at your part time job at the convenience store...
is the same thing as studying while you're on a blind date?
He was studying, too.
Together?
You two were studying together?
Pay me for my work.
Neither one of you are normal.
But... you really studied together?
It's short 5,000 won.
You said you'd pay me 135,000 won for a meal fee, too.
I'm buying you the meal right now.
Why is it that you haven't graduated yet with all the money that you're making?
Are you sure this is your last semester? Give me 5,000 won in change.
I don't have any change.
Yes?
This is 'The Right Person Matchmaking Agency,' we hope to provide our best services...
If you don't want to, forget it.
Who does she think she is?
Fate comes to you like a thief in the night.
Hello?
- Is this the National Intelligence Service? - Yes, go ahead.
If I report an espionage, do I get a reward?
Is that taxed?
You're going to report an espionage?
My friend told me that you guys take 22% out in taxes before you pay the reward?
Due to the laws protecting the country, and the specifics it entails...
any reports of national security is excluded from taxation.
We don't tax it.
Ah... thank you. But my friend told me otherwise.
- See? I told you, they don't tax it! - They don't tax it?
They say they don't tax the reward!
Yes?
I'm the one who just called you.
Do you give a higher reward if I was to bring in the spy to you myself?
You caught one?
A spy?
My friend and I made a bet.
You brat!
Do you think National Intelligence Service is a joke?
You think just anyone is a spy?
If you call me one more time, I'm going to report you in!
I'm sorry.
Hey...
The call center is the face of NIS. Don't you know that?
- Yes, I know. - If you know...
With the internet being all SNS capable, one mistake has the whole country talking.
Do you call what you're doing a service to this country?
I'm trying my best.
Let's stay on our toes a bit more.
- Director? - What, you rascal?
Why don't you join me for lunch?
When I share a meal with you, I get an indigestion.
I'll buy you some indigestion medicine.
Enjoy your meal.
Don't force me.
I heard that your youngest got into the program?
In a manner of congratulating you...
I've prepared a little something.
Here you go.
What is this?
- Is it bribery? - It's a gift.
I'm not taking it, you rascal. It's too thin.
They're concert tickets.
The top of all Idol groups, FTM.
FTM... I heard these were hard to get.
I'd like to request to lead the training for all the new kids coming in.
- Training? - Yes.
Fine.
It's an honorable position that only the best agent can fulfill.
You're saying you want to do that, right?
I can't be at the call center for the rest of my life.
You and your colleagues take care of that yourself.
I'll take care of my own colleagues.
But when it gets to the judges, will you use some of your influence?
Of course.
I'll use my influence.
But the thing is...
I don't have much influence these days.
I'm putting all my faith in you.
Why don't have a cheer?
Here's to our country.
Hello.
Your fashion is so consistent.
What are you doing?
I'm studying.
Then...
how about asking each other questions that we want to know about one another?
Sure. We can do that.
Why don't you start first?
When a certain action causes a third party unintentional harm or benefit...
But no cost is exchanged in between. This is what's called externality.
Do you know what it's called when harm is caused to the third party unexpectedly?
Negative externality.
Externality.
You're correct.
My turn?
Press agencies such as newspapers, radio, and TV that stays ahead of their...
competitors by getting the exclusive report. What is the term to describe this?
- Scoop! - Correct answer.
Is it my turn now?
Excuse me.
Tell me honestly.
Why did you come on this date?
Excuse me?
I...
I came on this date because I have my utmost trust in the ability of the matchmaking agency...
You're here for the money, aren't you?
- Money? - I already know everything.
I'm right, aren't I?
The reason why you're here is because of the money.
You can't get yourself to leave after hearing how rich my family is, can you?
- That's not it. - Why do you live like that?
To be honest, all college graduates seemed to do is signed up with a matchmaking agency.
It's obvious, isn't it?
Aren't you all just trying to get bought by the highest bidder?
Because of people like you, the term, 'Wedding Industry' was created.
Is making a profit the goal of getting married?
- I didn't sign up myself. - That's what they all say.
- That their mothers did it for them. - My friend did it for me.
Do you know what type of women that I hate the most?
Women who are misguided as you are.
Women who thinks that graduating from a good school and marrying rich is their worth.
But... you picked the wrong guy.
I have no intentions whatsoever of taking over my father's company...
and I have no desire to take any inheritance from them either!
I'm not here to marry into a rich family either.
I've never even entertained such an idea, and I have no interest in that kind of money.
- Then, why are you here? - I already told you.
After a careful and considerate background check, the best matches...
A meeting between two people is caused by fate.
Is fate a part of their service, too?
Why don't we just leave?
I have an appointment.
Mr. Han Pil Hoon!
Then what about you?
What were your intentions when you registered with a matchmaking company?
- What? - It must mean you have nothing but money.
And I'm sure you're twisted as you are because of that fact.
'There's no way she's here to see me. I'm sure it's because of my money.'
Thinking things like that.
Am I wrong?
- What do you think you know about me? - I don't know.
But, why don't I find out?
- Why don't you have a seat so we can talk? - I told you, I have a previous engagement.
If you want to talk, you can follow me.
If you don't want to, then forget it.
I didn't think you'd really follow me out.
- Have you fallen for me? - I doubt it.
Then what... so you can study again?
Ah... why didn't I think of that?
You don't have to study. Isn't your father a diplomat?
If he puts in the right words, you can get into the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
And within a few years, you'll become a regular member, too.
Why? Are you jealous?
Sure, I'm jealous.
You have no will or desire of doing something on your own.
You'll just live your whole life comfortably doing what others want.
How nice must that be?
When you live your whole life without having to think about anything.
Some may get allowance to buy their cars and homes...
but others can barely manage to buy a book after having to work all day.
After having worked so hard to study and go to school...
You think these women only desire to marry well so they can live in comfort?
Don't even compare yourself to women like that.
You keep speaking to me in casual manner, and I prefer that you don't do that.
Sorry.
If you're a tiger sign, then I'm older, so I'll just speak comfortably. Okay?
Okay. Lower your speech.
- Huh? - It's nice and comfortable.
Why don't we just go back to formal speech? It's not like we're ever going to get close.
Both your registration of vehicle and proof of ownership has been verified.
The moment the winner is declared, the keys must be handed over to the winner.
Why don't each of you hand me a set of your spare keys?
Okay. I will go verify them.
Are you handing over your girlfriend along with the car, too?
She's not my girlfriend, but I do want to hand her over.
I'm done fulfilling my two hours.
Are you crazy?
Meeting him twice was enough. I'm never seeing this jerk again.
He's not even a human being.
- I'll be going now. - You can't.
I doubt there's a reason why I can't.
You said I have nothing else to offer other than money, right?
- You have to know that isn't the truth. - Why would I need to know that?
So, you stop thinking that the world is such an easy place to live.
While seeing what it means to live passionately...
maybe you can reflect a little, too. Okay?
- I live passionately enough myself. - Passion to go on blind dates?
Let's go!
- What are you doing right now? - Enjoy the scenery.
Have a good time!
Stop the car.
How can I stop the car now?
- I got overtaken because of you! - Stop the car, please!
Okay.
I told you to trust me.
I'll show you what it means to live passionately!
You crazy bastard. Stop the car. Stop the car.
- Are you going to stop or not? Stop the car! - Ouch! That hurts!
- Stop the car. Stop the car! - I said, that hurts!
- You're going to get us killed! - You're killing me right now!
Are you crazy?
If you grab the wheel like that...
Crazy bastard.
Are you even sane?
Were you planning on killing yourself?
I live with my life on the line, too.
But I don't hang my life on something like this.
Do you even know what life is like?
Just because you have a little money, you think people are a joke?
Jerks like you are nothing but garbage.
You're worth nothing but 135,000 won.
Hey! You stop right there!
Car key.
Cars don't come by on this road. Do you want a ride?
It's because I'm thankful. I won a car thanks to you.
You should buy your boyfriend some soup.
I'm sure his stomach is upset after having lost his car.
Crazy bastards.
Hello?
Can I order a delivery?
Yes. I'm in front of the unemployment office.
Yes. I don't care what it is. Just the cheapest thing you have.
Yes.
Okay, I got you now!
I'm the person that placed the order.
Can you just take me to a major road somewhere? Thank you.
Hey! Wait! Stop!
Stop! Stop!
Hey! If I ever get my hands on you, you're dead!
Your group is heading the disciplinary training this time, right?
Are you doing it?
I don't know yet.
The one who's best suited for the job needs to head it.
- You do it. - I need to confer with my colleagues.
If you say you'll do it, you know no one will object to it.
Just do it.
Once the training is complete, I'll transfer you to America.
I haven't really thought about that yet.
Don't think of it as being complicated. I need a junior I can count on.
I heard that all your colleagues are meeting up tonight?
Yes.
Go and make the decision.
What is this?
All the new kids are going to be entering our division soon.
We have to train them to our standards.
I'm treating you all tonight... so order sparingly.
Cheers.
- Why are you buying? - Because I love my colleagues.
Do you think you have the qualification to lead the training?
Well, I don't know about the qualification... but I'm confidant I can do it.
The training is the pride of all of us.
Who out of all of us don't want to do it?
That's why we vote to choose the person.
Since I've already talked to the superior... you guys just need to vote for me.
Here.
Let's all cheers together.
I'm confident I can do a good job.
Even though I may end up spearing some mud on your faces...
I won't get any crap on your faces.
- Back me up a bit. - Are you giving a campaign speech?
Buying us dinner and drinks... and asking us to give you our votes?
Those new kids with nothing but confusion need to be trained into top agents.
What's your reason for having to do it?
What reason could I have?
It's for the love of my country.
Is it because of what happened five years ago?
Is it because of Senior Choi's death?
You bastard...
Yeah.
Senior Choi died because of me.
Satisfied?
He died for someone as insignificant as me. Satisfied, you bastards?
I...
want to lead the disciplinary training.
I'll do a good job.
Help me.
You saw, right?
Won Suk is that kind of guy.
He's someone who'll take all the blame even though it's not his fault.
Senior Choi was our trainer.
He should've protected him to the end.
He failed the mission and was the only one who returned alive.
Then should Won Suk have died with him?
Do you guys even know?
Won Suk has been paying for Senior Choi's kids' tuition all this time himself.
If I were to end up dying...
I'll die with my trust in Won Suk.
Welcome to Korea.
- Is this car safe? - I got hired as a spare driver.
With a fake ID.
Woo Hyuk!
- Curtains. - Don't worry about it.
I checked all the security cameras.
If you're going to be this cautious... why did you return with that same face?
So, they can be on their toes.
Those state affairs bastards.
Jaeil... the file.
Woo Hyuk... don't you miss Korean food?
Korea...
Just the taste of the country makes me want to vomit.
Hello?
I signed up for the matchmaking agency... I need to talk to the owner.
I lost a car because of a woman that I met through your service!
Just what in the world happened?
He called the office throwing a fit saying he lost a car because of you!
Did you steal his car?
Did you sell it off somewhere?
What the hell is it?
Forget it. Don't worry about it.
If you stay like this and get caught...
you have to reimburse him for the car, and you'll be arrested for being a swindler.
You and I are both end up being on the news.
You have to tell me what happened in order for me to help you.
He's trying right now...
I'm going to go crazy! He's calling again!
Just tell him that you don't know who I am.
How is he going to find me? What is he, a detective?
If you keep this up, I'm not going to pay you!
I have no intention of getting paid.
Here.
What's this?
What you paid me couple of days ago.
Forget it. You earned this yourself.
Jin Joo...
I don't have the confidence that I'll live rich.
But, I'm not going to live poorly either.
That...
is a lot of money to me, but since I didn't earn it honestly
it's not my money.
What's your motivation for applying at NIS?
For the sake of the country, I'm prepared to sacrifice and serve...
- And therefore... - Next.
For the love of this country, I'll dedicate all my being...
That's why I applied.
Next.
For the... love... of my country...
Can I come back after taking a relaxer?
Next.
For the love of my country...
And what's your motivation?
Next.
I... for the love of my country...
Just a moment, please.
Hello?
Honey. I'm in the middle of something right now.
- I love you, too. - Get out!
It's great to meet you!
You must be thirsty. That's why I prepared something.
You don't recognize me? I was here last year, too.
You really are working so hard. I hope to keep seeing you like this.
Please take good care of me.
- For the love of my country... - Next.
1804 Han Pil Hoon, 1805 Han Ji Yoon, and 1806 Kim Hyung Jin.
Please follow me.
- 1904 Kim Kyung Ja. - Yes!
1905 Na Goo Bok, 1906 Min Ji Ho. Please follow me.
Mr. Han Pil Hoon. Please come in.
1904 Ms. Kim Kyung Ja. Please come in.
Yes.
- Your motivation for applying at NIS? - Because I want to live superbly.
You must be thinking of 007.
But, the reality of it is very different from the movies.
We're not a very cool organization.
This path is a road that leads down to the same path as the love for our country.
I believe there's no life that exists which is cooler than loving one entity all your life.
What's your motivation for wanting to become a part of NIS?
I applied with the intention of serving and sacrificing myself for the love of our country.
Is that what your school teach you to say?
Excuse me?
Ninety-nine out of one hundred applicants all gave us the same answer.
Did you think that those methods would work with the NIS?
- No, I didn't. - If not...
Because it's a similar method of getting into a broadcasting station...
Did you think this will be a way for you to get some experience?
Did you come here to play?
No, I didn't.
You look like you did.
From the glint in your eye...
I don't get any sense of passion, or intention.
Loving the country for the rest of your life...
How so?
Is there such a thing as forever in love?
I have a third level in karate.
I can shoot 50m in range with over 98% in accuracy.
I also have a pilot's license, and a master license in scuba diving.
I also have a license in car racing...
and even now, I'm also training for various other skills.
I have the confidence to become a top agent.
Along the same path as my love for our country...
I have the confidence to devote the rest of my life to it.
But you weren't a very good student.
Compared to the NIS average, your grades...
We don't... want people who are just good students.
Let me ask you one thing.
Orange, lemon, grapes, apricots... what do you think they have in common?
Ukraine's orange, Kyrgyzstan's lemon, Moldova's grapes
and Armenia's apricots. Their commonalities are...
that they are all fruits that reflect the image of the country that they represent.
Good.
Then... what is a motherland?
Motherland is...
the state, sovereign space, and the honor that I currently embody...
We don't mean the dictionary definition.
But what does motherland mean to you?
That's what he's asking you right now.
The motherland is...
You know all the current affairs, but you don't know the meaning of motherland?
Do you understand now?
The NIS isn't all about your GPA.
We're finished with your interview.
You may leave.
I believed that honing my skills as an agent was more important that my grades.
I think you're mistaken.
The importance in NIS is your grades.
Your interview is over.
Next!

- I found a job! - Pass.
I passed!
You're in a broadcasting station, and you're NIS.
Your fashion is consistent.
I knew I'd see you again! You're dead!
Just wait until I catch her... hey!
- Nice to see you again. - My name is Gong Do Ha.
I hope we can be friends.
What a bunch of joke. Are you guys here to date?
I don't think you'll do. Follow me.
One of your biggest enemies that you'll have to win against.
- It's a lie detector. - Are you sure you're really an agent?
