(Episode 3)
Excuse me,
Detective.
You said that the police station is nearby.
Oh, yes.
We're almost there. It's just around the corner.
I don't think I want to file a report.
I'll figure it out myself. Thank you for your help.
Why don't you want to file a report?
I mean, you've already come all the way here with me.
You're not a police officer, right?
Me?
I'm much nicer than police officers. Why do I say that?
It's because I can help you earn money.
Let's not make this difficult. Come on.
We're almost there.
Please let go of me. Why are you doing this to me?
Don't do this, please. I'm going to scream!
Really?
Try and scream.
What are you doing? Scream away!
- She's tougher than I expected. - She's wasting her time.
There's no one who can help you here.
Sweetie.
Let's not tire each other out and make this easy.
My beautiful sweetheart.
Come on.
Wait!
I've been looking for you. Where have you been?
I told you not to walk around alone.
Let's go!
Walk with me if you don't want to die.
The entire family has been looking for you. Let's go!
And we've been looking for you. Aren't I right?
You can go wherever you want,
but you have to pay me the interest at least.
If you don't have any money,
you can pay me in other things.
Just stay here.
What is this rubbish right now?
This is what I've been working on.
How dare you try to snatch her from me?
It's your problem if you can't stop me from snatching her.
Stop being so obnoxious.
Hey, kid. What are you going to do with that?
Are you going to throw it at me right here?
No.
I'm going to hit that thing with it.
- Gosh, what's going on? - What was that?
- You rat! - Go get them, you fool!
- They're over there! - Stop right there, you rat!
- Stop! - Gosh, that little...
- Where did they go? - Follow me.
Which way did they go?
Wait. It looks like we managed...
to give them the slip.
What are you doing right now?
Well, I'm not sure what it's about,
but let's talk about it tomorrow.
I think you need to see this.
What is this?
Is it about the poster again?
No, we have a more serious problem.
Are you okay?
I'm fine physically,
but I'm not in the greatest mood.
I'm sorry.
I've been tricked and swindled by so many people today,
so I was being cautious thinking that you might be another crook.
I sincerely apologise.
Well, you don't really owe me an apology.
It's all right.
It sounds like you're the one who's not okay.
I'll get going. Thank you again for today.
Are you busy right now?
Let's go grab a bite to eat if you don't have anything too important.
That chatty woman.
Clad in a yellow skirt
I'm attracted to her for some reason.
I really like her.
He's not exactly handsome.
But he's manly.
I only bought a couple of skirts, but the money is already gone.
Bonghwa in Gyeongsang Province?
Where on earth is that place?
I get that she's a clueless Hick,
but how can she come to Seoul with such a little amount of money?
How stupid.
My heart flutters
I've never felt a love like this before.
(Seoul Sundaeguk)
It looks like you're enjoying it.
Yes.
I'm loving it.
Is it because it's made in Seoul? This sundae is so soft and chewy.
It's very delicious.
Eat up.
Here.
Gosh, you didn't have to do that.
Think of it as a welcoming gift.
Sorry?
Seoul isn't just filled with scoundrels like those guys earlier.
There are also people who'd want to share delicious food with you.
I see.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Where on earth did In Kyung go?
What's this?
What... What is she saying here?
She can't live as his mistress?
Mr Choi, that scum...
Goodness gracious!
Are you really going to be okay?
Of course.
You paid for the food,
and you gave me this bus ticket, too.
I won't forget your kindness.
That you can forget, but you have to remember the directions.
Go to that main street and when you see the bus stop...
Please don't worry.
I'm certain that I can find it.
Thank you...
so much again for everything today.
Goodbye, then.
Goodbye.
Let's go.
- Pardon me? - I'll take you there.
So are you saying...
that the plot of this play...
is similar to that of our film which we'll begin shooting next week?
Yes. It's...
- almost identical. - Goodness.
Plus, this guy, Cha Min Woo,
won the literary competition with the script for this play.
- Yes. - And the story writer...
of our film has fallen off the face of the earth.
Why do I feel like I know exactly where this is going?
I'm getting a bad feeling.
If the scenario of our film...
plagiarised this play...
Then we'll have to...
cancel the scheduled shoots.
Would you like me to meet Mr Cha Min Woo and talk to him?
No, it's okay.
I'll take care of it.
If you keep walking on this street, you'll find this address.
Really?
Gosh, this alley is so crooked and steep.
You have to be careful with allies like this in Seoul.
Some of them charge a toll.
No way.
Seriously?
I'm kidding, of course.
Oh, I see a drawing!
Is this your first time seeing one?
No. Walls in Bonghwa are filled with drawings like this.
I'm just very happy to see something I'm used to...
here in Seoul.
Doesn't it look better now?
Isn't it even better now?
- Who is this? - It's me.
You disgusting pervert.
We're here. This is the house you're looking for.
Yes, you're right.
I really appreciate all of your help today.
You walked all the way up here because of me.
Sorry?
Pardon my dialect.
You came all the way up here for me.
Oh, right.
It's all right.
Thanks to you, I got to visit Nangok-dong like this.
Gosh, you're sweating so much.
Well...
You can use this.
Oh, thank you.
I'm just realising now that we don't even know each other's name.
I'm...
Come on, everybody.
Let's do this together.
Yes, I'm feeling awesome
I'm so excited today.
Rock and roll, let's sing.
Goodness, I'm just about to get into the groove.
I know that the curfew hours are starting now, but that's so noisy.
Goodness gracious.
And let's twist again.
Summer.
You should go in.
The curfew hours started. What are you going to do?
You over there!
Take care.
Geum Soon.
Geum Soon?
Geum Soon, is it you?
Are you that girl from Seoul Station?
My gosh.
What is going on now?
Am I hallucinating or what?
That thief?
Goodness, you're killing me!
- Gosh. - What did you do to her?
You wanted my sister to be your mistress?
No! That's not what happened.
In Kyung misunderstood my intentions.
What?
She's not dumb! She wouldn't have thought that for no reason.
You jerk!
Don't do it, Han Soo.
You shouldn't do this. Calm down.
Help me, please.
Move over, Mum!
I'm going to kill this scum!
Han Soo.
Just talk it through with him.
Ms Park.
What is wrong with this kid? Has he lost his mind or what?
- Keep your mouth shut. - What did you just say?
You scum!
Gosh, why in the world are you calling me a thief?
You ran away with my bag, and you don't think you're a thief?
What?
You're being so ridiculous.
Why are you accusing me of stealing your bag?
I walked around all over Seoul Station looking for you.
Don't lie. I walked around all over the station to find you.
Where is it? Where is my bag?
I'll give it back to you, all right?
- My gosh! - What's going on?
Did a thief break in?
Geum Soon, are you okay?
Yes. I'm fine, but...
In Kyung!
Hey! Geum Soon.
Oh, boy.
What is going on here?
What's all this noise at this late hour?
You're lowering the value of this house!
This is absolutely crazy.
I had no idea that the address she showed me was my place.
I can only blame myself for being illiterate.
Thank goodness.
I thought I had lost it.
You didn't even call me. What brings you here?
Did something happen to you in Bonghwa?
It's a long story.
Had I not lost this bag...
Look! Everything is intact.
I told you that I went everywhere to look for you.
Right, my wallet.
Where's my wallet?
Choon Ja, did you...
Goodness. You asked me to hold onto your bag, not your wallet.
Don't accuse me for no reason.
I never asked you. You took it saying that you'll carry it for me.
By the way,
didn't you say that you're from Bonghwa?
Why does your dialect sound...
Bonghwa?
Choon Ja. Aren't you from Hampyeong, Jeolla Province?
What did you do this time?
Why did you lie to her like that?
I never lied to her!
I am originally from Hampyeong.
Bonghwa is...
Right, my maternal grandparents. They live there.
You told me to think of you as a big sister...
since we're both from Bonghwa.
A big sister?
That's not right. I think Choon Ja is two years younger than you.
What?
So you lied about your age, too?
No, my birth certificate is wrong.
My dad was so busy with his farm that he forgot to register my birth.
Choon Ja, tell us the truth.
Goodness, why don't you believe me?
- What's your Chinese zodiac sign? - Me?
What was my zodiac sign?
Oh, right. I was born in the year of the Dragon,
which means I am older than you.
Gosh, I'm exhausted.
Walking around with that bag all day long tired me out.
I'll head over to my room.
What does she do for living?
She sells beauty products.
She's a door-to-door salesperson who usually targets older ladies.
She sells beauty products?
She's a little all over the place,
but she's not a bad person.
The curfew hours have started, but he's not here yet.
I guess he's not coming home tonight.
Hey! Where have you been?
The curfew hours started a long time ago.
I was so worried about you.
Why did you worry? Did you think that I got arrested or something?
Hey, don't say things like that even as a joke.
Don't forget that I'm like your guardian.
You love acting like a big brother, don't you?
What would you have done if I weren't an orphan?
What? Are you trying to tease me now or what?
Oh, right. Hee Ae came to see me and went on...
about not stopping you.
I'm going to go wash up.
Did you not hear me saying that Hee Ae came by?
Have you eaten yet?
- Shall I fix dinner for you? - I had dinner.
I forgot to give this back to her.
Isn't it even better now?
Gosh, you're sweating so much.
Well...
You can use this.
Oh, thank you.
Why do you keep chuckling like that? Are you laughing at me?
What's that by the way? Isn't it a girl's hanky?
- What is it? Let me see. - Goodness.
- What are you doing now? - It's a girl's hanky, right?
- Give it to me. - It's nothing!
Bring me one, too.
Come on. Let me see it.
Gosh, seriously. Stop being so silly already.
That's why I just got on a Seoul-bound train.
If I hadn't kept your address your mum gave to me a long time ago,
something horrible could've already happened to me here in Seoul.
Oh, dear.
You went through so much.
I have to figure out a way...
to earn 300 dollars to send to my mum as soon as possible.
Geum Soon.
Do you think I'll be able to work as a bus attendant like you?
Then let's visit the bus company together tomorrow.
Really?
Thanks so much, Geum Soon.
Don't mention it.
By the way, when do you have to send the money by?
As soon as possible, like tomorrow.
If not, Mr Choi will give Han Soo and my mum...
such a hard time about it.
Then you'll probably have to ask to get paid in advance.
Anyway, you should sleep here tonight.
I'm sure you're exhausted from coming all the way here.
No, I'm okay.
Wait. It looks like we managed to give them the slip.
This table is too tiny for even two people.
Using it for three people is beyond ridiculous.
I feel bad that it's so bare.
In Kyung, I'm sorry.
Had I known that you were coming, I would've gone grocery shopping.
Don't worry. This looks delicious.
Delicious? Whatever.
Good morning.
You have a guest, so I thought I should share this with you.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
I bought so many eggs, so I just fried a few extras.
Doesn't he live alone?
Why did he fry so many eggs?
Let's try this. It looks delicious.
Gosh. You should eat first, Geum Soon.
Do you girls only care about fried eggs?
Having one more tenant means that the utility bills will go up, right?
Let's do the calculation.
For water, we pay four cents per person.
For electricity, it's one cent per tenant.
And night soil collection costs three cents per person.
My goodness. Sir.
Do you really have to talk about night soil as we're eating?
You're making me lose my appetite.
In total, you owe me 14 cents. When are you going to pay me?
I'll pay it as soon as I start making money.
I'll pay half of the rent, too.
It's okay. I'll keep paying the full amount.
Be quiet!
I don't want to hear it.
I don't care who does it, but make sure you pay it.
Don't you dare try to confuse me. Got it?
Yes, Sir. Please don't worry.
I'll pay everything.
Is our writer still nowhere to be found?
I'm asking everyone who knows her from her friends to family members.
Please tell them...
- to stop preparing for the shoots. - Mr Nam.
Then we'll have to deal with an immense loss.
If we have to cancel everything after the shoots begin,
our loss will be even bigger.
If this problem comes to a head...
Our investors...
won't let it slide.
Yes. Chairman Lee of Saechang Group will also take action.
So you think that Saechang Group could sway our investors.
If Chairman Lee does that,
we're no longer a family.
He'll become our enemy.
At this rate, he might stab me in the back soon.
Chairman Nam is going overboard.
He summons me every day and tries to scare me...
by telling me that he's close friends with the minister.
First of all, I need to...
protect myself too, Sir.
Mr Lim.
So you find Chairman Nam intimidating,
but you're not scared of me at all?
Have you forgotten...
whose money got you your current position?
How can I forget, Sir?
Well, then why are you being like this?
Shall I make you spend the rest of your career...
at a police station in a tiny, remote village in the mountains?
Sir.
(Influencer of the Month)
You know that my son-in-law owns a film production company, right?
It looks like his company is producing a film called "Youth".
However, I hear that it plagiarised a play.
A writer with a surname, Hwang, wrote the script for the film.
The writer has gone missing, though.
Can you find him for me?
When you find that shameless idiot...
You know what to do, right?
I'm sure you do.
Of course.
Okay.
All is clear, Sir.
Oh, one more thing. It's about the bus company I own.
You know Seungri Transportation, right?
(Safety comes first, Seungri Transportation)
(Nabi Production)
In Kyung!
Don't even look at that.
Why do you say that?
What is a production?
You don't need to know.
Let's go in. Ms Ko wants to see you.
Really?
I'll give nothing but my best if the opportunity is given.
You didn't even go to high school,
and you've never had a proper job before.
Plus, you don't know your way around because you're from the countryside.
Have you even taken a bus before?
I'm a fast learner.
I had all sorts of jobs in Bonghwa, too.
My answer is no.
I'm sure that all you've done is working in farms.
Bus attendants must be intelligent. I mean, this job isn't like farming.
We cannot hire you.
Could you please give me a chance to show you?
I'm confident that I can do a great job.
Geum Soon, what are you doing? Get her out of here.
Didn't Ms Choi quit yesterday?
What if her bus gets into an accident without any bus attendant?
Her position?
Even her looks don't meet our standards.
Well... I'll let you work until we find someone to fill her spot.
Thank you. I really appreciate it!
Don't be too excited.
I'll fire you right away if you make even the tiniest mistake.
I'm still so grateful.
But...
I'm in a bit of a bind.
May I ask you for a big favour?
What is it?
Would I be able to get paid in advance?
In advance?
Get out of my sight.
Goodness gracious.
Unbelievable.
I cannot talk to this woman.
After putting me through all this,
all you say is sorry?
Do you think saying sorry is going to be enough?
What do you want me to do, then?
I told you that I'm going to pay you back the 300 dollars, too.
Guys, I don't think this woman knows who she's dealing with here.
Are you insane? What are you doing now?
I beg you.
Could you please help me?
Can't you read that? "No salary advance allowed"?
How can you ask to get paid before you even start working?
You're so ugly and shameless.
I'll pay it back.
I'll be sure to work hard and pay it all back.
You want a salary advance?
Hello, Sir.
Please help me, Sir.
I'll work hard and pay it all back.
Everyone says that when they're asking to get paid in advance.
However, once they receive the money...
they become irresponsible.
They don't care about their tasks and do everything half-heartedly.
I won't be like that.
I'll work hard and do everything you want me to do.
Everything?
In Kyung.
Yes, everything.
I'll do my best in everything.
I can promise you.
You'll do everything I tell you to do?
If you're that determined,
I can try to find a way to help you.
Will you...
really be able to do everything?
Pardon me?
You have to be very careful with Mr Byun.
I heard that he sells girls.
What?
Min Woo!
Min Woo...
Min Woo got...
Get 1,000 dollars ready.
Do you think I'm made of money?
I'll take care of this and meet you there.
Please leave without me.
They can't just take off like that.
Excuse me!
