Excuse me...
l'm here to clean the room.
Look, Mr. Suk Tae-woo!
Are you talking to me?
ls there anyone else in the room?
Who do you think's going to clean up your mess?
Can't you throw your trash in the trash can
where it belongs?
l'm not your wife, you know!
Are you proposing to me?
What did you say?
Ms. Woodpecker Jang Mi-young!
Oh, no!
l'm sorry!
Thanks to you
l washed my face for the first time in 3 days.
Let me clean your room.
Excuse me!
-l want to clean your room. -No.
Once my rhythm's broken when l'm working,
it takes me a long time to get back in to it.
But l have to clean it.
lt's very important to me.
ls cleaning the room that important
that you're turning pale?
lt is to me.
You know l don't have the best personality.
l usually don't clean, but when l do,
l can't even tolerate a speck of dust.
Can you handle it?
What?
Can you come and clean my room whenever l page you?
l'll do it!
All right, then begin.
l wonder if she's doing well.
l bet he didn't even open the door for her!
When was the last time that room was cleaned?
Was it June or July?
lt was June.
lt's an expensive room!
There must be mold growing in the bathtub...
-l'm done! -What?
l finished cleaning the room!
Am l hired now?
Your salary is 500 dollars a month during your trial period.
lf you pass the trial period,
you'll be hired as a permanent employee.
Then you'll get 1000 dollars a month
along with full benefits, including
insurance and a room in the dorm.
A room in the dorm?
lf you're hired as a permanent employee.
l don't see your home address on here.
l'm planning to move soon.
Don't you have a cell phone?
No.
Okay...
You can start tomorrow morning.
Thank you so much! l'll work hard!
Okay, you can go now.
l have to start over from the beginning.
Hey, lady!
You haven't left?
l was just taking in the scenery!
lt's quite nice here!
Are you looking for a place to rent?
Mind your own business!
Where's the public phone?
lt's the digital age,
and you're still living in the analog age!
Why waste time calling this place and that?
You could get the job done in no time.
The deposit on this one's too much,
and the rent on this one's too high.
And as far as this one, the location's no good.
lsn't there a cheap one?
l don't care if it's far away
or up on a rooftop.
Hold on.
This sounds okay,
but it's far.
lt's all right.
l'll just get up early in the morning.
l see 2 rooms available on the rooftop.
How much is it?
3000 dollars down for deposit and 200 dollars a month.
lsn't there a cheaper one?
lt's the cheapest.
l can't afford it.
Let's go check it out.
Even if it doesn't work, we have to make it work.
There's nothing we can't accomplish if we try hard.
-Let's go! -All right!
Want me to carry your bag?
No.
ls she hiding gold or something in there?
Sir, are there 2 rooftop studios available for lease?
Sir!
Stop calling me and go up!
Go up the stairs! Here's the key.
Do you want to see both or just one?
-Two! -One!
They're both the same size, so just take a look at one.
Okay.
Let's go see it.
Look over there.
There's another roof on top...
lt has a great view!
This is great, isn't it?
Yes, but...
Let's lease this one.
l don't have the money for the deposit.
Let's beg him to let us make monthly payments.
lsn't the view great?
lt's out of this world!
When do you want to move in?
You can move in anytime!
Sir...
We have a small favor to ask.
What's that?
We're a little short on the deposit money.
Couldn't you let us pay you monthly payments?
Couldn't you let us pay it in installments?
We'll pay you interest!
No way!
Please, sir!
Please, sir, l won't forget your kindness.
Stop talking nonsense and leave!
You can't fool me.
There've been quite a few people who said
they'd pay me monthly, and then ran off!
l promise you l'll make the payments!
Couldn't you make her wish come true
When people even make dead peoples' wishes come true?
Who's dead here?
Stop talking nonsense!
But...
He's pretty tough.
l got pregnant and then had a miscarriage.
Go to the hospital and find out
if l'm lying or not.
l had a vasectomy 7 years ago.
Could l still have impregnated my wife?
The chances are very slim,
but it's not impossible.
Let's get you tested.
All right.
Pregnant?
How could you be pregnant when l had a vasectomy?
You're going to get it from me
when l get tested today!
Whatever!
Stop accusing me of the unthinkable!
l'm not like you!
l'm here to get tested.
lt's the room at the end there.
Give me one too.
lt's not the end of the world.
We can look elsewhere.
lt's all right.
Thanks for looking with me.
-How much is it? -lt's 3 dollars.
-l'll get it! -No, it's okay.
Thank you for helping me.
Thank you!
Where are you going?
Stop following me!
l feel uneasy and you're a bother.
Yes, Dad.
l know. l'm thinking about it.
She sure walks fast!
Here it is.
-Nurse Kim, give him a shot. -Yes, sir.
Answer the phone.
Hello?
What?
l can't hear you!
l'm at a hospital!
l can't hear you!
The reception's no good here!
There's nothing wrong with the vasectomy you had.
That's so strange!
-How much is the bill? -lt's 33 dollars.
Hello. lt's Min-suk.
Did you find out where Mi-young's staying?
Yes, l did.
But she doesn't want to accept my money.
Why is she letting her pride get in the way?
Could you give it to her as a loan from you?
Did you see her?
She quit and went somewhere.
What?
l asked the owner, but she said
she didn't know where Mi-young went.
l brought your money back.
What are you going to do?
Thank you.
l'm sorry to have bothered you.
l'm sure she'll call for the kids.
Don't worry too much.
l ordered beer!
Aren't you going to bring me a beer?
Hey, l have money!
Are you ignoring me?
Sir!
Go away!
l can't finish what l'm doing
because you're out there!
So let us pay the deposit in installments!
l told you my answer's no!
You've been following me all day!
What's the matter?
Why isn't there any...?
Sir, there's no toilet paper, is there?
l have some.
You do? Give me some.
l can't.
Promise me
you'll let us pay you in installments.
l said l couldn't let you do that!
Then l can't give you any either.
Goodbye.
Where are you going?
Will you let us rent it?
All right, so give it to me.
Okay.
l told them to make sure there's enough toilet paper.
-You promised. -What did l promise?
That you'd let us pay you in installments.
When did l say that?
How could you change your mind?
l can if l want!
You're not playing fair!
l don't have to anymore!
You should give me back my toilet paper.
-Hey, lady! -Gosh!
You startled me more!
Where have you been? l've been looking for you.
Could you please not sneak up on me anymore?
Did you sleep here?
How could you sleep at a seedy motel like this?
Mind your own business!
Then again, what would anyone possibly want with you?
Maybe they'll hire you as a maid.
What?
Wait!
The old man agreed
to let us pay the deposit in installments.
Keep your promise.
Of course! l'll always pay on time!
You'd better keep your word.
Don't you worry.
l was famous for my matchmaking skills
in the Young-deung-po district!
There's a lot of stuff in the garage
that you might find useful.
Take whatever you need.
Thank you!
What promise was the landlord talking about?
You don't need to know.
lt's too bad we can't let you
taste it and see for yourself.
This water purifier is
just what your home needs.
The design is beautiful enough to have it
out in the open instead of hiding it.
You can't find this design at this price anywhere.
Tell the apple model to smile!
Tell the model to bite into the apple!
lt's not poisonous!
We have another mega-hit!
All right, that's good.
l'm so excited my body's tingling!
Second homerun in a row!
Homerun!
Where are you going?
l'm going to work!
But l thought you didn't start until tomorrow.
l want to go today
and get the feel of it.
Why make it harder on yourself?
She's so stubborn! She should rest today.
lt's really good! l have a good feeling about it.
Don't get your hopes up too high.
l'm telling you, it's good!
Just wait and see.
lt'll sell more than the golf item!
Wait a minute.
Mi-young!
l'm sorry.
-Ms. Kim Myung-soon. -Yes!
Ms. Jang Mi-young is here to learn the ropes even
though she doesn't officially start until tomorrow.
Hello. Nice to meet you.
She has the most experience,
so you'll learn a lot from her.
Please teach her well.
My excellent service represents the hotel!
What should l do first?
First, air out the room.
And then throw the trash out.
And take the sheets off the bed,
and put them in the linen cart.
Then put new sheets on the bed.
After that, wipe the furniture
with a rag and then vacuum.
And then you can clean the kitchen.
We normally make the trainees clean the bathroom.
But it's a hard job, so l'll do it.
-Got it? -Yes, sure.
l'll clean the bathroom for you.
ls Mi-young here?
What is it?
You have to come!
-What's the matter? -What's wrong?
There's big trouble in the room
you cleaned yesterday! Come on!
What has she done wrong already?
Now l have to clean this all up?
What's missing?
-The USB flash drive! -What?
Come on!
Please calm down.
How can l calm down?
Everything was saved on that!
Did you look everywhere carefully?
Sir!
Did you happen to come across a USB drive yesterday
while you were cleaning the room?
-l don't know... -What?
lt's the size of a finger,
and it's on a chain like a necklace!
Oh, no...
lt contains an important script,
and it's missing!
l don't know...
But you cleaned this room!
Do you think it was in the trash?
-Oh, no! -What?
Oh, no?
Oh, no...
-l'm so sorry, sir. -Get out.
-We'll... -Get out now!
Get out of my sight!
Mi-young, are you crazy?
How could you throw that away?
Sir!
She'll get fired before she even starts!
What is a US-something drive anyway?
We don't need to know. Let's go.
How could you do that?
What in the world...!
Ms. Jang Mi-young!
Don't come to work tomorrow.
Don't bother coming to work the day after that either.
l'll find it! l'll find it somehow!
Never mind! Please leave immediately!
l'll find it somehow,
so please give me another chance!
Do you know how mad the president was at me?
He's going to give me a terrible review!
And you expect me to see your face every day?
Please take your uniform off and leave.
Sir!
l can't believe this happened!
Oh, no!
That house is so pretty!
Yes, it's nice.
l've always wanted to live in a house like this.
Wait just a little longer.
The water purifier sales are good.
lt'll just be a while.
You trust me, don't you?
l have something to give you.
What is this?
Mom owned a piece of land, and she also had a house.
Why are you giving it to me?
The price of the land went up
Because they're developing the area around it.
We could buy a house like this if we sell it.
My studio is okay for me,
but it's too small for you.
Look for a 2-story house
so the kids can come live with us.
-Let's go buy a puppy. -Okay.
She sent this for you.
l'll bring her by to introduce her to you soon.
Who says you can do that?
Stop being upset, Mom.
Who says you can do that?
She and l got our marriage license.
How convenient for you!
You went ahead and got divorced and married
without ever discussing anything with me!
ls she what you got in exchange for the apartment?
Mom.
We're going to move.
But you don't have any money! With what money?
Where are you going to get money?
She's inherited some land.
That's the good thing about our parents' divorce.
We even got a puppy out of it!
-Why did You hit me? -Grow up!
-Dad! -Dad!
Dad!
Do you know how much work it is to raise a puppy?
Grandma!
-Do You like it? -We love it!
Then l have to let my puppies keep the puppy.
You're the best!
l'll come visit you often.
Take good care of your brother.
Okay.
You should stay and have dinner.
She's waiting outside.
-l'm leaving. -Bye, Dad.
High five!
Let me hold it.
Bye, Mom.
Oh, my!
Cheers!
We're here celebrating today's sales,
but let's also give these two our blessing.
Be happy, okay?
Thank you.
We want to thank you
and apologize to you.
We will be happy.
All right, you have to make sure you live happily
since it was so hard for you to get where you are now.
You know a realtor in Bundang, don't you?
Yes, why?
l want to find a nice house.
Houses in that area are pretty expensive.
Can you afford it?
l think l'll have enough if l sell
my mom's house and her land.
Did she leave you that much land?
lt wasn't that valuable before,
but the price has gone up since the news
of development in the area.
So you're actually really rich!
Did you know about that?
No, even l didn't know about it.
My mom bought some for me.
l only found out when l was going through her estate.
Her studio's lease is up next month.
l'll ask the realtor tomorrow.
Excuse me for a minute.
l have to use the bathroom too.
They look good together.
They even go to the bathroom together?
They're newlyweds, you know.
How much do houses cost in that area?
Well...
700,000 to 800,000 at least.
700,000 to 800,000?
How did he get so lucky?
She's pretty and she's rich too!
And she's even willing to raise his children!
-That jerk! -Are You envious?
A little...
Let's be honest here. l'm the better-looking one!
You... Let's drink up.
Tae-woo!
Mr. Suk!
Are you sleeping?
Mr. Suk Tae-woo!
This is it, isn't it?
Drink.
Your face is pale!
Were you looking in the trash all this time?
Thank you for the tea.
Where are you going?
Home.
Looking like that?
Do you know how bad you smell?
Oh, no!
Actually, you could go like that.
People will toss their change at you
if you carry a can.
l'll give you my shirt to wear,
so wash up and put it on.
-l'm okay. -lt's not okay.
The bus driver won't even let you get on the bus
smelling like that.
l'll drive you home, so just wash up.
l'll take the bus.
Do you know what time it is?
The buses aren't running at this hour.
Call the hotel management, and let them know
l found the lost item!
-l already called. -What?
l called in the evening and said
l found it in a drawer.
Didn't they call you?
l told them to tell you.
Why isn't she back yet?
What's going on?
She wouldn't have...
No!
She wouldn't!
She's got a job now,
and she found a place to live!
But why isn't she back yet?
Mi-young?
Why are you so late?
Didn't the young lady come home yet?
She's not a young lady.
She has two kids!
ls she your older sister?
No, she was my neighbor.
Why are you exercising so late at night?
Live alone for 20 years, and see if you
get sleepy at night.
l'm afraid of the night-time.
Don't forget your promise.
l told you not to worry.
Let's go.
Aren't you going to fasten your seat belt?
Relax. l'm not going to hurt you.
-Why are we here? -They have good soup.
My stomach hurts because l haven't eaten.
Aren't you going to get out?
Do l have something on my face?
Why did you act like you didn't want to eat,
when you're obviously enjoying the food?
Ma'am, give us more soup and soju.
You shouldn't drink when you have to drive.
l'll just have two shots.
This soup's just not the same without soju.
-Enjoy. -Thank you.
-Do you want some? -l can't drink.
l can't understand why
you can't drink this. lt's delicious.
lt's so good.
That's just great!
What are you going to do?
l'll be okay in a little while since l only had 2 shots.
How much is this?
lt's 35 dollars, but give me 30 dollars.
-Here. -What's this?
Put it on and stop shivering.
-lt's okay. -lt's not okay.
Even your nose is red.
Here.
Unbelievable!
lt looks good on you.
lt's better than freezing to death trying to look good.
Did you get divorced?
l did too.
Actually, it's more correct to say she divorced me.
l wasn't a good husband.
l'm sure you could tell that by now.
l heard you're a writer.
l write screenplays.
l'm preparing to become a director.
-Are you surprised? -a little.
My friends are all surprised too.
l never imagined l'd make a living writing.
Actually, l remember you used to write
for the company newsletter.
Do you have children?
l have one daughter and one son.
How old?
Eight and seven.
l have a six-year-old son.
He takes after me, so he's a rascal.
ls your ex-wife raising him?
l can hardly take care of myself.
Besides, he likes living with his mother.
ls your ex-husband raising the kids?
lt's really true what they say about
how time heals all wounds.
No matter how painful it is,
as time passes, somehow the pain gets
duller and more bearable.
l think l'm okay to drive now. Shall we go?
What is that?
We were fooled.
How could she not come home
on the first day we moved in?
What the...
What's wrong with your car?
lt's empty.
Empty? What's empty?
No, l'm out of gas.
You started your car without even checking that?
l forgot because l hadn't been driving
for a long time.
lt's about 6 miles from the soup joint.
Yes, that's right!
You went to the wrong place.
Yes, please hurry! Yes.
-l'm sorry. -lt's all right.
-lt's cold. Go inside. -lt's okay.
-No, go inside. -l said it's okay.
You're just as stubborn as ever.
What?
Do you know what people nicknamed you
when we worked together?
What?
Woodpecker!
You always get everything off your chest, don't you?
And how could you write that on my desk,
just because l left used teabags around?
lt is no longer a habit
if it affects others negatively.
lt then becomes a crime.
You still remember that?
Can you imagine how much
it must've hurt me to remember it?
Think about how upset l must've been for me to write it.
You still haven't gotten rid of that bad habit.
Your nickname wasn't so nice either.
What was mine?
lt was ''Sticky''!
No one could even leave documents on your desk
because you had so much sticky stuff on it!
l hate that word ''sticky.''
You must've given me that nickname.
-What? -You're so petty.
What took you so long?
She sure is getting on my nerves!
Thanks for driving me home.
Don't mention it.
Mi-young!
What are you doing out here?
-Who is he? -Mi-young!
-You should take it. -l forgot...
Who is he?
Who is this?
