Nuga Global - Newly Hired Employee List
Job Application
Come in.
It's nice to meet you, sir.
You're Kim Jiwan?
Yes, sir.
It's an honor to meet you.
Sangjun, are you watching?
Your son is standing at the spot
where I stood 25 years ago.
Do you know why I called you?
Isn't it because I'm Hyeondo's friend?
This is a very small world.
I had no idea you and my son would be friends.
You're Sangjun's son?
You know my father?
Why didn't you tell me before?
If you had known, you would've told me.
Your father and I used to be like brothers.
I didn't know that.
I heard my father's colleagues were successful,
but I didn't know you were one of them.
You should've asked your grandmother.
If your grandmother hadn't come to see me,
I wouldn't have known and failed you.
Your grandmother was like a mother to me.
I'm glad to get a chance to repay
the kindness she showed me.
Sir...
Does that mean...
I didn't make it?
Who cares about that?
You have me now, right?
Episode 3
Hello?
Is this Mr. Jang Hyeondo?
This is Best Global.
Yes.
Congratulations.
You're hired.
Please come to the small assembly hall
by 8:30 a.m. next Monday.
I will!
Hi, Kim Jiwan.
Did you get the call, too?
Congratulations.
You owe me dinner, okay?
I begged my father to hire you.
I see.
Thank you.
Hello? Hey!
Congratulations to the New Employees of Nuga Global
2015 New Employees of Nuga Global
You asked for me?
Here you go.
Isn't this Kim Jiwan's resume?
Yes, I must have left that out.
Post his name up.
You mean he's hired, too?
Oh, no...
I've already posted the list and called them.
You can post him as an additional hire.
That might cause suspicions...
I'll take care of this.
He got the best score, so I thought it was odd.
Then you should've told me right away.
Why have you been tip-toeing
around me lately? I'm hurt.
Post his name up as a new hire and call him.
Yes, sir.
The new product sample,
why don't we put wheels on it?
So it can be pushed around like a suitcase?
Yeah.
Get a sample ready as soon as possible.
Okay.
Father, Jiwan's name wasn't on the list.
What happened?
Was that so urgent that you had to rush over?
It just doesn't make sense.
At the interview, you...
Was I the only interviewer?
Everyone has different standards.
I asked you because he's my friend.
So did he really fail?
I thought you could still hire him.
I'm thinking about it right now.
Move back home.
What? Seriously?
If I move back in, will you hire Jiwan?
Sure, I'll do that.
Living idly alone or back at home,
aren't they just about the same thing?
Okay.
I'll do that, sir.
Yes. Please be careful.
Hello?
Make something special for dinner tonight.
Let's have a family dinner.
As you wish.
But do you think Hyeondo will come?
Yes, he'll be there with his things.
Make it 7 o'clock.
What?
Hyeondo?
Okay, I...
Am I some restaurant?
By the way, what changed his mind?
2 large combo double pizzas and 1 large cola.
2 large combo double pizzas and 1 large cola?
What kind of sides do you have?
You can pick from here.
I'm getting a call.
Hi, mom!
Do you need anything else?
Are you finished ordering?
Yes!
Father did me a favor.
I'll see you later, mom. Bye!
Jiwan didn't call you?
If you want to talk to him, call him yourself.
I only take orders, not personal questions.
He didn't call you?
Aren't you and Jiwan very close?
Aren't you the first person he calls
when he hears good news?
Good news?
Isn't getting a job good news?
Maybe it's not.
What did you just say?
Say that again?
I don't want to.
I'll only make food orders to you. No questions.
Hello?
Is this Mr, Kim Jiwan? This is Best Global.
We had one more spot, and you got it.
Congratulations.
The training starts next Monday,
so come to the small assembly room by 8:30.
You will get additional information then.
If your grandmother hadn't come to see me,
I wouldn't have recognized you and failed you.
Jiwan, why is your phone off?
Did your battery run out?
Call me when you get this.
Mom!
Enjoy your food.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Yes? - Hurry!
Jiwan got a job!
Really?
Jiwan called you?
No, his friend told me.
Really?
That's great news.
Maybe his luck finally changed.
I have an hour left, so I'll be home then.
I'll get a celebratory dinner started.
Okay.
Your call is being forwarded...
Jiwan's phone is still off.
I think his battery died.
I'm sure he'll be home soon.
Right.
Good job today.
- Goodnight. - Bye.
Where's Hyeondo?
He's on his way over.
Stop asking about Hyeondo.
Don't you notice anything different?
I'm not talking about me.
I thought maybe you got botox or something.
When did I ever get botox?
Do you take preservatives?
You don't age at all.
Thanks to you, I take expensive preservatives.
I hear that a lot.
You really can't tell?
Did you get new couches? Is that it?
Forget it.
If I hung gold bars up, he would've noticed.
He has no taste or class.
Mother, father, your eldest son's home!
Let me bow... Why isn't anyone here?
They're the ones who begged me to move in.
And they won't even welcome me? Mom!
Did you unpack everything?
Just about.
You moved back in for good?
It just sort of worked out that way.
I'm glad
because I can see my son every day now.
This is really nice.
When was the last time
we had a meal together?
Last Christmas.
It hasn't been that long, dad.
Let's eat.
Eat up.
Okay.
Sir, bon appetit.
Thanks.
How much was that painting in the living room?
How can you ask that?
You're insulting a masterpiece.
To me, it's just an average painting.
I'm sure.
I bought it after a very long consideration.
You have money to waste like that?
You don't know what art is.
If you have money to waste,
help feed the starving children in Africa.
You do enough philanthropic work
for both of us.
My eyes need something nice and expensive.
If you've ever starved, you couldn't say that.
You only starve on diets.
You've never starved from lack of food.
Why would you bring up ancient history!
Mom, dad! Don't be like this!
Mom, maybe it's time for you to visit Hyeongyu.
You seem on edge.
Yes! So don't mess with me!
I'm thinking of moving in with Hyeongyu.
You may leave freely,
but coming back may be a different story.
Mr. Jang Taesu!
You have a knack for ruining my mood!
Man...
Father, women are
extremely fragile and sensitive.
You must treat them like fine crystal,
but you're too rough and direct.
I'm an expert at dealing with your mom.
I've been with her for almost 30 years.
Keep eating.
Yes, sir.
Wow!
Ms. Jeong Sugyeong has amazing taste.
It's nice!
We never saw anything the same way.
When I tell people I'm unhappy, they sneer.
Their disbelief makes me even more unhappy.
I can't figure out how
someone like you married a man like father.
Were you in love with him?
Love?
You're creeping me out.
Jiwan?
Mother, you're coming home from work?
Yes.
You're coming home now, too?
Yes, I had something to do.
You didn't get Eunsu's call, did you?
Eunsu said...
It's nothing.
I think Eunsu made a mistake.
Let's go home.
Wait, I should say thank you.
Hi, Taesu.
This is Sangjun's mother.
I'm calling to thank you.
You gave Jiwan a job, didn't you?
You're so successful
because you're such a good man.
Yes.
I guess Sangjun did a lot of good
to have a friend like you.
Jiwan was having a tough time, but finally,
his luck changed thanks to his father.
Yes, of course.
I was so worried because Jiwan kept
getting turned down, but now, I can...
Mom, Jiwan, when did you come home?
Hi.
I have to go.
I'll call you back.
Oh, when did you come in?
Eunsu's preparing a special dinner
to congratulate you on your new job.
Did you go to Mr. Jang
and asked him to give me a job?
Oh, don't mention it. It was nothing.
All I did was just talk about you.
I'm your grandmother, so it's no big deal.
To whom?
Oh, there's no need for you to know.
Why did you do that?
I said it was no big deal.
Why did you do that?
He was father's friend.
How would doing that make me look?
What do you mean?
It's nothing to be embarrassed about.
It's perfectly fine to ask him.
Your father was great to him.
But I don't want it!
- Jiwan! - That's enough.
If I failed because I lacked the skills,
I could live with that.
I could say it wasn't meant to be and move on.
But...
How could I go work for a company where
I had to use my late father to pull strings?
I just...
Felt so badly about you trying so hard,
and I wanted you to be successful...
How could I be successful this way?
You don't think I can take care of myself?
You think I'm so incompetent
that I can't get a job on my own?
Why did you have to make me look so pathetic?
Jiwan, stop it!
I'm not going to work at that company.
Even if Mr. Jang Taesu was my uncle,
I'm not using him as my connection!
Jiwan!
Jiwan, how could you say that to grandma!
How could Jiwan...
How could he say that to me...
Oh...
Jiwan.
Jiwan!
Why did you say those things to grandma?
Can't you see why she did that?
I don't want to hear it.
I understand how you feel,
but grandma did it because she was frustrated.
You couldn't get a job,
and it happened to be dad's friend's company.
Even I would've wanted to do the same.
I know you understand that!
I understand, so stop it.
Oh, my...
How could Jiwan do that to me?
How could he?
Mother.
Did you have to go see Mr. Jang Taesu?
You didn't know Jiwan would be upset?
That's enough!
Seonhui,
I know you hate Taesu because of Sugyeong,
but must you interrogate me like this now?
You have your pride, too.
Going to someone you used to know...
I have no pride!
After Sangjun died,
it got all worn out, and I don't have any left.
I haven't been the same woman I used to be.
Why are you and Jiwan attacking me?
Was it so wrong of me?
Mom, you should go to bed.
Jiwan will come home soon.
You go ahead and go to sleep.
I'll go to bed after Jiwan comes home.
Jiwan's acting like a kid.
You're home?
You must be cold.
Would you like a cup of tea?
I'm fine.
Goodnight. I'm going to bed.
Jiwan, are you up?
Newbie!
You can't hear me?
Who are you calling "newbie"?
That guy.
Jiwan used to be the best mover we had.
He worked here every vacation
to pay for his tuition.
Jiwan, grab that for me.
Okay.
Can you help?
One, two.
How is your job search going?
It's not as easy as I thought.
It's not?
Don't worry.
You'll make it.
Hardworking people always succeed.
This way.
Thank you.
Careful. Be careful.
I'm sorry I'm late.
It's okay. I just arrived.
- Sit down. - Thank you.
It's been so long.
I ordered your favorite tea. Is that okay?
Yes.
Excuse me!
Is something wrong?
I asked to see you because
I have a favor to ask you.
Don't hesitate. Just tell me.
Well...
Do you know of any place
where Jiwan can work?
Jang Taesu
Yes, hello.
It's Ms. Lee, Sangjun's mother.
I'm not the kind of person who calls
all the time knowing you're busy.
It's okay. You can call me anytime you want.
But I shouldn't take up too much of your time.
Well, I...
Actually...
This is about Jiwan, right?
Yes, Jiwan.
Can you talk to him?
Like Sangjun, he's too proud for his own good.
Yes, Taesu, I'm counting on you.
Mom!
Taesu? You mean Jang Taesu?
You were eavesdropping again?
Why can't you break that habit?
When did you go see Taesu?
I went because of Jiwan.
Does Seonhui know that, too?
She doesn't want anything to do
with his family.
I mean Taesu's wife...
Yes, Sugyeong.
Sugyeong was horrible to Seonhui.
You and Sugyeong ganged up on her and...
- What? Ganged up? How dare you! - I mean...
I mean Sugyeong did, not you.
Don't tell Seonhui about this call.
Or you'll never be allowed here.
So that means Seonhui doesn't know.
What will you do if she finds out?
I did it for Jiwan, so who cares?
If Jiwan was her real son, she wouldn't care.
She'd be like that because she's his stepmom.
I keep coming to you when I'm in need.
You can always ask me for this kind of favor.
Just give me a copy of Jiwan's resume.
I'm sure I can find him a job.
Wow, Jiwan's looking for a job already.
Time does fly.
I know...
Is Eunsu doing well?
Of course. She's doing well.
You don't regret that decision you made then?
I wonder about that, every now and then.
No.
I don't regret it.
I'm very happy.
Tell the Yeongjin Corporation's CEO to come in.
Welcome. It's nice to see you again.
Are you sure about that?
That sounds fake. Try welcoming me sincerely.
May I take your order?
2 large combo double pizzas and a large cola.
Yes, sir.
That'll be $52.80.
Did you congratulate Jiwan last night?
Is there anything else you need?
I need your answer.
We don't have that on the menu.
Thank you for your order.
Your order will be right up.
Aren't you being a bit too rude?
I'm Jiwan's friend and I'll soon be his coworker.
That's never going to happen.
My brother's not going to work there.
What? Why not!
Why won't he work there?
Here. Eat up!
- That looks good. - It's pizza again?
Eat.
It will fatten you up.
Yes, this will fatten us up.
Look at how fat he is already.
Have you been hitting on the pizza place girl?
What are you talking about?
You only ate meat
and you've switched to pizza.
You only drank fruit juice
when you were dating Hyeryeon!
If that's not it, can I ask her out?
Look at his face! He does like her!
Stop it!
How far did you get with her?
She's my friend's little sister.
She's my friend's little sister, and I'm...
Just eat.
I'm not buying you pizza anymore.
He's angry. Maybe we were wrong.
Hyeondo
Hello?
You're said not going to
work at my father's company?
News travels fast.
It's true? Why not?
Let's meet up and talk.
Okay.
I'll see you 2 hours from now.
Where are you...
Hello?
Seriously!
He really is mad at me.
But why?
What did I do wrong?
Come in.
Manager!
The vice president is here.
What?
When? Nobody knew he was coming?
It's a random inspection.
Everyone downstairs is in panic. Please hurry.
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
- Everything's going well, right? - Yes, sir.
Let's go to my office.
How is the weekend business hours going?
It's a test operation, so make it a success.
Let's go inside.
That's being really harsh.
He's totally been replaced.
They didn't contact you?
I got a call from them.
They offered me an additional spot.
I thought you didn't get that call!
She didn't know what she was talking about.
I pulled some strings.
Don't you want to thank me?
Thanks.
But I never asked you to get me a job.
I don't do favors for others.
I just do what I feel like doing.
But why do you look so down?
Smile a little.
Isn't it a good thing to get a job?
You think I'm a joke?
You shouldn't be so offended by this.
But I am.
For someone who does nothing and gets hired
by his daddy company may not get it.
I'm not happy about getting a job
only because my friend pulled some strings.
Right.
I couldn't understand it if I tried.
You're offended because I got you the job,
but why would you feel offended?
You've been dying to get a job
and you got one, thanks to me.
Shouldn't you be grateful?
Kim Jiwan,
you're not whom I thought you were.
So?
If you turn the job down because of me,
do you have anywhere else to go?
Is it amusing for you to watch me fail?
Is it fun for you to see the difference between
me who failed dozens of interviews and
you who can work for your father's company?
My horoscope warned me about a fight.
It was correct.
Let go.
You'll wrinkle my jacket.
My friend Kim Jiwan, listen closely.
I'm kind of in need right now,
so I'll let you get away with it just once.
I'm going to inherit my father's company,
so I'm just trying to pick a smart
and responsible man to do all the work for me
so I can enjoy my life.
What's so wrong with that?
You need a job,
and I need someone on my side.
Preferably a friend.
Oh, forget it. If you don't want it, fine.
But if you cared about your family,
you wouldn't do this.
Stop being stubborn and come to work.
Just come to work with me.
I just don't get it.
Consider this as a means to an end.
Who cares if you were added on late?
All's well that ends well.
Why do you dwell on the process?
Hey!
You bullheaded idiot!
Come in.
Father, are you busy?
What brings you to see me?
It's nothing special.
Father, by any chance, did you meet Jiwan?
You met Kim Jiwan?
What did you say to him?
He's not coming to work.
He's not?
Father, you didn't tell him not to come
because you think he'd distract me, did you?
Did he tell you that?
Even if you did say that to him,
he would never tell me that.
He's so stuffy.
I wanted someone smart and reliable
working for me in the future.
I'm not saying that just because he's my friend.
Can't you do anything about this?
He'd be a great employee for me
down the road.
Taesu.
Don't think of me as your boss.
Relax.
We're friends.
You're making me feel awkward.
Anyway, please consider it.
Where's Hyeondo? Is he still in bed?
He left earlier than you.
He needs to practice for a band audition.
And you let him leave?
He has so much to review
before he starts work!
He's not going to work
because his friend won't.
That's a ridiculous excuse.
He's using his friend as an excuse not to work.
Can you do something about that?
This has happened so many times already.
He can't let go of his phone.
He can't pay attention in class.
Kids these days are all like that.
They get anxious without their mobile phones.
Gihwan's case is rather serious.
He can't sit still, even for a moment.
He seems to be smart, but his performance is...
My boy is smart, right?
I've always heard that.
Well...
Perhaps you should get an evaluation...
He already took an IQ test.
It's over 130.
He's almost a genius.
I'm not talking about his IQ.
We ran a personality survey here,
and his depression level came out too high.
Depression?
You're saying my boy has depression?
No, I'm just saying his level was high,
so you should take him to see a doctor.
He can't pay attention even for a minute.
And he can't communicate with his classmates.
Before it gets more serious,
you should take him to see a doctor.
You're saying he needs a shrink!
Don't be afraid of pediatric psychiatrists.
Growing children experience many...
Are you a doctor?
Are you!
You're a teacher! So teach!
How dare you treat my son like a psycho!
Treat him like a psycho? I didn't say...
What? He can't pay attention?
What do you expect? He's an 11-year-old boy!
My older son was the same
when he was in elementary school,
but now, in middle school, he's a great student!
He's one of the top five in the school!
Have you ever raised a child? Have you!
The whole country's in trouble.
People who don't deserve
to be teachers become teachers,
and the country is going down the drain!
Since when did teachers run
psychological evaluations on kids!
I'll teach my child,
so you make sure your teachers are qualified!
Ms. Kang.
Yes?
There are some things
you shouldn't say to parents.
Ms. Vice Principal,
I suggested an assessment for the boy's sake.
If they diagnose it early and get him treated...
I admire your passion,
but parents think of school only as a place
that provides education.
It's not like the old days,
so what a teacher can do is limited.
Stop causing problems and focus on teaching.
Education is so important now!
Which university our students will enter is
decided in elementary school, don't you know?
Enrollment for TV Screenwriting Academy
Anyway...
Remember what I said.
Ms. Kang!
Yes, ma'am.
Having the drive isn't enough.
Ms. Vice Principal,
I don't think this job is right for me.
I quit.
I don't belong here.
Kids!
Yes!
I'm very sorry for not being
a good teacher to you.
Goodbye.
What? What are you saying?
Where are you going?
Good decision.
I need more people to apply.
It's voluntary retirement,
so I can't force people, but I have a quota.
It's making me miserable.
So I helped you out?
In a sense, you did.
You should buy me a drink.
I can do that.
For you, it's a celebratory drink.
You can afford to retire now.
Of course.
I have nothing to worry about.
So buy me a drink.
You should've told me to come the restaurant.
I wanted some alone time over coffee with you.
Why did you leave so early in the morning?
I had to go to a part-time job.
Jiwan.
I understand how your grandmother feels
and how you feel.
You can't be happy about taking favors from
your father's friend whom you've never met.
I agree the right thing is to turn it down.
But make peace with your grandmother.
Whatever the reason, yelling at her was wrong.
Yes, mother.
I'm sorry for causing you concern.
Yes...
You can take your time getting a job.
I'm sure there's a job for you out there.
So...
You won't work there?
No.
How many candles would you like?
- 28, please. - Okay.
I should celebrate the eventful 28 years.
Ms. Oh Minja, you look great today.
Great? You called suddenly,
and I had nothing to wear.
You look pretty in my eyes. Isn't that enough?
Oh, my.
What is this cake for?
Is this a special day?
Did you get a promotion? Did you?
It's even better than that.
I'll tell you when Yeongju gets here.
Better than being promoted?
Oh!
You got a bonus, didn't you?
Don't jump the gun.
I said I'll tell you when Yeongju gets here.
From now on, only good times lie ahead.
At our age,
it's good enough if nothing bad happening.
Right. That's all we need.
Hi.
Yeongju!
What did you do to your hair?
Mom, this is the hottest perm these days.
How do you like it?
Dad.
What's the cake for?
Oh...
We're celebrating something tonight.
I'm making an important announcement
- to you both... - Hey!
How are you going to go to work like that?
I turned in my letter of resignation today.
So I won't be going to work anymore.
Letter of resignation?
What resignation?
A letter of resignation, to resign.
Teaching is not for me.
I knew it on my first day of work,
but I needed courage to accept that.
Now I'm free.
And to celebrate it, I dyed my hair.
To make it permanent.
What are you talking about?
Honey, did you understand what she said?
I don't get a word she's saying.
All I did was studying, like you told me to.
I thought happiness would follow
if I went to a good college and got a good job.
But I was wrong.
Going to work every morning is horrible.
Being a teacher doesn't suit me.
Still, how could you quit!
Hey!
Stop joking.
I'm not joking.
When I quit, I felt like I could fly.
I should've done it sooner.
Dad, you understand, right?
What?
All that talking made me hungry.
Dad, can I order something expensive?
Are you thinking straight now?
Tell me again.
You were lying, right?
I wasn't lying!
Mom! Why are you doing this!
What are you doing?
Calm down, honey.
- Calm down. - You've gone mad!
You quit?
Who gave you permission to do that!
I did! It's my life!
How is it your life!
After all the investments I made! Your life?
Half of your life is mine!
Mom, didn't you hear me?
Teaching is not my calling!
What?
- Not your calling? - Mom!
What do you mean it's not your calling?
- How could you! - Please calm down!
- What good is it! - Calm down.
How could you quit such an amazing job!
Hey!
I think she's gone crazy.
We should get her head X-rayed.
Can I have a cup of ice water, please?
Please.
Yeongju!
- I'm exhausted. - Did something happen?
What did you do to your hair?
My hair isn't the problem.
Wow, it looks good on you.
But isn't that too flashy for school?
Eunsu, is it so weird that I quit teaching?
Of course it's weird.
You don't know how good you have it.
What do you mean, I have it good?
I'm starving.
You want some pizza?
Can you put it on my tab?
I didn't bring my wallet.
My treat.
Get me the most delicious one.
Diet my butt.
Have a seat.
Careful.
I mean...
I mean, how could she quit after all this time
saying it doesn't suit her?
She's mad. She's gone completely mad.
Maybe something upsetting happened
at school.
Everyone gets the urge to quit his or her job.
You had a job. Don't you understand that?
She'll go to work tomorrow
when she wakes up.
I'm sure of it.
Right?
- She'll go to work tomorrow. - Yes.
- Wait. - Yes?
What were you going to say before?
You said you wanted to celebrate something.
Yes...
Isn't today your birthday?
You're talking nonsense.
I was born in the middle of summer,
so I can't even make seaweed soup
because it might spoil.
How could you not know when my birthday is?
We could pretend it is and celebrate it.
What?
Are you trying to piss me off?
I'm going crazy! What's there to celebrate!
I just thought my darling Ms. Oh Minja
had a tough life,
and I wanted to do something special.
Don't be mad.
Forget it. This isn't the right time.
Right. I picked the wrong day.
- Hello. - Welcome.
It's been so long, Jiwan.
Yes.
By the way, your hair...
I dyed my hair for the first time in my life.
You don't like it?
Would you like something to eat?
I came for a drink.
I want soju.
Can we have another soju glass?
Okay.
You drink alone?
This is my first time.
What's up?
Is something wrong?
I quit my job today.
Being a teacher didn't suit me.
A job is something
that allows you to support yourself,
but it should also be rewarding
and make you happy.
Right, Jiwan?
You're amazing.
All I wish for is to get a job on my own.
What did your parents say?
Dad would understand,
but my mom wouldn't.
She thinks a teaching job is really special.
Yes, your mom was always proud of you.
I wish time would stop right now.
Then what about what you want to do?
You quit your job for that.
You're right.
The first obstacle is my mom.
Sincerity will prevail.
Keep your chin up.
I will.
You'll be successful. I'm sure of it.
Keep your chin up.
Thanks.
I should go.
Okay. Bye.
Thank you, Jiwan.
Did you eat?
If you haven't eaten, I'll fix you something.
Are you really going to keep that up?
I'm tired.
Fine.
I won't talk to you until you take the initiative.
What did he say?
Do you think Jiwan changed his mind?
Well, he didn't say anything.
Oh, you didn't notice anything?
I think you should give up.
He won't work there?
Oh...
If he loses this opportunity,
he's going to have such a hard time...
Oh...
Work with the Busan branch and get it done.
Yes, sir.
I thought it was odd Kim Jiwan was left out
even after his grandmother came to see you.
I should've checked with you. I'm sorry.
It's okay. Things happen.
How is the new sample coming along?
- It's coming along well. - Good.
Excuse me.
Hello?
It's me, Jang Taesu.
Oh. Hello, sir.
Let's do lunch. Noon would be good for me.
What? You have plans?
No, sir.
I'll come and pick you up.
Where are you?
Hello! It's me!
- Welcome. - Yes, it's been a while.
Can I have order of one blood sausage soup?
Just one?
Yes, just one.
Okay.
It's your pride that keeps you full, isn't it?
If you're full, I'm not wasting soup on you.
I'd rather die than to waste money.
What do you have?
No money or a degree from
a reputable school or a future.
Everything you have is invisible.
Dream, ambition, confidence.
What good are they?
After getting turned down from dozens of jobs,
you'll learn to let go of them.
Dream will go first, then ambition.
After being rejected about ten times,
you'll lose your confidence, too.
Your sense of responsibility will go last.
Now you have nothing left.
And since you have nothing left,
there's one thing you want to hold on to.
Pride.
All you have left is that.
Your pride comes before your responsibility
for your family, right?
My food is here.
Thank you.
Trying to get recognition isn't being proud.
It's vanity.
What earns recognition is pride.
Have you done anything to gain recognition?
I don't care if you come to work or not.
I'll give that chance to someone more desperate.
Neither your father nor your grandmother
will blame me for that.
If it were my father,
what would he have done in this situation?
You'd sell your soul for your business!
You think I'd be scared if you leave?
With my wife? The minister will be there?
Sugyeong! Jeong Sugyeong!
I'm not sure if we will have money...
I'll make profit, so please let me work.
Let me work.
I don't want to stand in front of the class!
I hate being in the classroom.
You!
Hey!
Hello.
I'm Seo Mijin.
Your father wasn't afraid to beg.
