There must be a beggar in your stomach.
Do you know the calorie count of three plates of Carbonara pasta?
1,131 calories.
Stop it already! I want to cry too, okay?
Starting today, I'm not even drinking water. Just watch me.
I feel like a refreshing persimmon vinegar drink.
You just said you wouldn't even drink water.
I'm not drinking anything.
Ji Soo! Get me a rice drink. And one egg. Or two?
Ladies! Ladies of all ages, please gather around. Hurry!
Come quickly! Great, great! Hurry, hurry! Sit down please!
What I'm about to show you is a product called "Venus Slim."
Miss, please come over here. Yes, this way.

[Episode 3: The Diet Trap I]
Did you rent out the bathroom? Come out already!
Hey.
- Ji Soo. I feel like I'm dying. - What's wrong with you?
This is my third time in the bathroom since the middle of the night.
What did you eat?
A woman at the sauna gave these out, saying that it's tea for constipation.
She said that it targets obesity and constipation at the same...
Let me see.
You call yourself an investigator, but you fall for something like this?
Serves you right.
I trusted her when I bought it. Anyway, do an analysis of it for me.
- It's weird. - Of course it's weird.
You should know better than to buy this at a sauna. You should be embarrassed!
What in the world is "Venus Slim"? Doesn't it look weird to you?
I have to eat. I don't have an appetite because of this.
Is your appetite even capable of being suppressed?
And here you are eating at a time like this.
And all you do is scold me when my stomach hurts.
That's old. Throw it out.
Only slightly. It's fine after I boil it.
Of the many bacteria that cause food poisoning, there is Staphylococcus.
which is extremely strong in high temperatures.
Even if you heat it to over 100 degrees, it won't be killed.
So boiling it won't solve the problem.
If it seems suspicious you have to dispose of it. Throw it out!
It's mine. I'm hungry!
Wow, that appetite of yours. You could be the god of all food.
Hello? Is this "Venus Slim"?
Thanks for calling. If you would like to order, please tell me your address.
No, I'm not ordering. I'm a consumer of this product.
I'm calling to ask about the ingredients.
What are the ingredients of "Venus Slim"?
It says it's 100 percent green tea, made in India. It's not true, is it?
Don't call if you are not going to order.
What is this?
Well, well, well.
What is this?
What kind of business are they running?
Do you have the results?
Yup. This is an ingredient called senna.
Why are you acting like that? It doesn't suit you.
Be yourself.
Why is Leo here?
He's looking for something to be an analog of sibutramine.
An analog of sibutramine?
He's looking for an imitation of an appetite suppressant.
That's amazing. They make imitation drugs for silent ingredients like this?
That's what I'm saying. Our Yeon Ju has to catch these guys. Right?
Ji Soo, stop it with that voice. I might throw up my Carbonara pasta.
I don't think you should be here.
Let's go outside for a bit.
Ji Soo.
Do you like Leo?
No.
Dating within the company is off limits. If you get caught, you will...
I don't like him! And besides, does Leo even like anyone that way?
After that incident...
What is senna, by the way?
It is an ingredient used to stimulate diarrhea and is highly toxic.
It is forbidden for use in food. It is only used as medicine.
An appetite suppressant?
There's nothing else mixed with it? No ingredient that's good for you?
Right. It's 100 percent senna. You bought two boxes, right?
The long-term side effects include
nausea, vomiting, constipation, and reduced intestinal function.
This woman! Why is she selling this garbage?
- Leo! Where are you going? - The scene of an investigation.
I'm coming with you! I'll see you later.
I want to go too.
I didn't know it would be a sauna.
It's so nice to come to the investigation scene with you.
Are you happy?
Where is he going this time?
We are pursuing that woman. We need to follow her.
Leo, you're following her? I'm chasing after her as well.
Why?
If I think about the fact that I bought two boxes of these because of her!
My money...
- This is senna. - Wow! Oh my god...
The analysis lab could close down because of you.
It took them three hours to get that result.
- Are you on a diet? - Yes.
What? No. No way...
What about you? Why are you after her?
I got a report about this product, so I'm investigating.
I have a suspicion that it's an analog of sibutramine.
Are you following her? It's so obvious.
Excuse me! Some people are following you.
Stay still, stay still.
Hurry up.
Why are you creating an issue here?
We can't use the senna by itself. Why? Because it doesn't taste good.
If we add 100 percent senna to something that's really delicious
it's possible that they will be blown away by the taste.
But if we want to gain their trust, what we need is an herbal medicine.
They'll think it's good for their health, as if they're drinking herbal medicine.
Don't you think, Doctor?
I'll supply the sibutramine. We will combine it with senna. Okay?
I can't do that. How about you raise our interest rate?
Interest? Do I look like a business looking to rip off more money?
Let go of the idea that the key to weight loss is exercise.
Diarrhea solves constipation and senna causes diarrhea.
You can just add the morning glory herb and boil it.
Please come in! It seems like you're here to bust someone.
It must have been hard following me here.
You must be really thirsty. Please have some tea.
- Go ahead. - Don't drink it!
What's going on here? And who was the doctor that was here?
Leo... Leo!
What are you doing? Drink up.
