Thanks for driving me home.
Don't mention it.
Ajumma!
What are you doing out here?
-Who is he? -Mi-young!
-You should take it. -l forgot...
Who is that?
-Who is he? -He's my neighbor.
Good night.
Who is he? He rubs me the wrong way...
Who is that man?
Why did you let him drive you home?
And why are you dressed like that?
Ajumma!
She already met a man?
No, who would want to?
He can't possibly like her...
No, wait a minute!
There are a lot of weirdos in this world!
And she's too naive to know anything!
Why should l worry about her?
l've never seen the president so happy!
Aren't you happy?
lt's all thanks to your help.
l told you it would be
a bigger hit than the golf item.
Yes, you were right.
Do you want to look this over?
What is it?
lt's a list of hot springs and hotels with spas.
Would they buy our purifiers when they already have
their own spring water?
People usually drink filtered water
after taking baths at hot springs.
Businesses could change their purifiers to ours.
Our purifiers will appeal to their customers since
alkaline water helps to minimize the size of pores.
That's right! That's an excellent idea!
People who go to spas and hot springs are
interested in their health, so it would work.
All the saunas, hot springs, and hotels in the country...
lf we could make a deal, it'll be a huge market!
When did you do all this?
Don't you know l'm the angel who works
while others are sleeping?
How are your eyes holding up?
What?
Doesn't it hurt your eyes to watch such a
corny display of affection?
Of course it does.
Bye.
lt's my intention to speak only positively.
But the guest in room 202 complained
About finding kimchi stains on the sheets.
That should never have happened!
Let's all say it together.
My excellent service represents the hotel!
All right.
Please remove dirty sheets properly.
Yes, sir.
All the complaints were about the maids this time!
Trash was found behind the sofa!
How can you laugh?
And there were some personal items behind the VCR.
l haven't notified the upper management.
So please pay extra attention.
-Yes, sir. -Good.
Mi-young!
Hello.
l was wondering how to get in touch with you.
The guest who lost the USB flash drive
actually found it in the desk drawer!
l'm sorry we accused you.
lt's all right.
Attention, please.
This is Mi-young and she starts today.
Please teach me well.
Give her a round of applause to welcome her!
Really, Uncle? Thank you!
Yes, l know.
l will.
Ma'am, the scenery is out of this world, isn't it?
Don't you get lonely with the weather turning cold?
Would you like to go out on a date?
l know a really cool gentleman!
l know just one such man!
A date?
Why, you! How dare you!
l'm sorry, sir!
l'm so sorry!
Wait.
Did l do something wrong?
No, why?
l think l did.
l'm sure l'm not to your liking
because l'm not good at my job yet.
l'll try my best, so please teach me.
-Mi-young! -Yes?
The director is looking for you!
l'll be back.
Now you're going to flaunt the fact that you're dating?
Are Mi-young and that director dating?
l don't know! Let me pass.
Mi-young sure works fast!
She's only been here a day.
What is it this time?
The TV screen's covered with dust.
And get rid of the dust on the remote control.
There's a stain 15 centimeters
to the right of the bathroom sink.
He's a psycho!
l did warn you.
l like it either black or white
with no gray areas.
lf you're going to clean,
you have to clean it spotlessly.
l need to use the bathroom.
Wait.
Take this.
What is it?
Haven't you ever seen a cell phone?
l got it for free from my last movie.
So don't feel bad about accepting it.
lt's okay.
You need it to talk to your kids freely.
Besides, the hotel people think it's weird
that l call housekeeping asking only for you.
lf you're that bothered by it, just keep it
while l'm staying here and then return it.
The phone number's on there.
Then l'll use it just while you're here.
And l'll pay for the charges.
Suit yourself.
l want a new rug by the tub.
l want a brand new one, not a used one.
You need it to talk to your kids freely.
Hello?
Why didn't they say anything?
Hello?
Kot-bi?
Mom?
ls that you, Mom?
lt's Mom.
Mom, l'm taking good care of Dan-bi,
so don't worry about anything.
Okay.
Mom, are you all right? Are you eating well?
Yes, l even got a job.
Where?
lt's called the Evergreen Hotel.
lt's really nice.
-Evergreen Hotel? -Yes,
l might become a permanent employee if l do well.
What do you do?
l'm a maid.
l have a cell phone now, so write the number down.
01 1 ... 7 49-5421?
Who's that on the phone?
-Who was that? -A wrong number.
Really?
My Dan-bi's covered with dirt!
Let's go wash up!
Mom, there's two sides to every coin.
What brings you here?
l was in the area and wanted to see you.
Sit down.
Nice...
Actually l have something to talk to you about.
What is it?
Why don't you have a wedding?
What?
l know you two had a small ceremony in Guam.
But in other people's eyes, you're just living together.
There are a lot of rumors going around the company.
Yon-jung will be hurt when she hears the rumors.
lt's not your first marriage, but it is for her.
And l'm sure she wants to have a wedding
that her friends and family have given their blessing to.
She probably never mentioned it,
so as not to bother you.
l never thought that far.
Why don't you have a really nice wedding,
and put a stop to all the gossip?
An outdoor wedding would be nice.
l know a wedding planner l can introduce you to.
Okay, thanks for everything.
Don't mention it. l have to go now.
Bye.
-l won't see you out. -lt's all right.
Min-suk, l'm going to meet with
a person from a spa later.
That's good.
Take a look at this.
Here. lsn't it nice?
Wouldn't it be nice to have an outdoor wedding there?
lt would be.
Hey, lady!
Why...
What are you doing here?
As you can see, l got a job here.
How?
Why couldn't l get a job when even you got hired here?
-You can speak English? -Yes, A little.
-Are you new? -Yes.
-Lower yourself. -Lower?
-Lower.
Good, maintain that eye level.
We need someone who speaks English at the spa.
Do you want to work at the spa?
-Spa? -Yes,
we have a lot of girls with hot bodies in bikinis!
Bikinis...
-l'll start immediately! -Really? Okay.
Where's the front office manager?
Hot bodies!
Okay!
Where are all the girls with hot bodies in bikinis?
Hey, young man.
Me?
No, not you...
You.
-Me? -Yes.
l can't reach my back to put oil on.
Guests are prohibited from getting in
the pool with suntan oil on.
l won't go in the water!
l just want to put on suntan oil
and get a tan. Come on!
But it's not even summer...
The end.
lt's me.
l sent the script via e-mail. Read it.
All right.
lt's the rug you asked for.
What do you think you're doing?
l'm sorry. l was just...
l'm sorry.
Mi-young.
Excuse me for a moment.
l'm all right. lt's nothing.
Please don't make a scene.
What a jerk he is!
-Do You know him? -The writer?
Writer?
Yes, he wrote really famous screenplays.
He wrote the screenplays for famous movies
including young Boy and Deadly Smile!
l understand he's here writing another screenplay.
Up-and-Coming director suk tae-woo director and two actresses involved in scandal
Look.
l'm adding mud.
Can you throw the ball?
Look!
-Why, You kid... -Kid?
You'd better let go!
l'm going to kill you!
What are you doing?
What are you doing acting like kids?
He gave me a dirty look!
Look at his beady eyes!
You're wrong. He has no reason to give you a dirty look.
He was toying with you,
using your innocence to his advantage!
Mi-young's not a toy l can play with!
What do you know, kid?
What don't l know?
Stop it, both of you!
Are you going to take the responsibility
if l get fired?
This job is my last hope of starting on my own!
Mi-young...
Did you know there were scandals
lnvolving that screenwriter and those actresses?
He's divorced, he's in show business,
and he's a womanizer to boot!
Men are experts on other men.
He smiles with his eyes,...
and what's up with his buttocks?
And when l looked at him up close,
his complexion was as smooth and well cared for as a woman's!
He's got all the makings of a Casanova!
He's fine for dating,
but not for a serious relationship!
He's an expert at picking up women!
Look,
l only have one promise l made to myself
that l have to keep.
You're free to let your imagination run wild,
but don't involve me in your sordid fantasy!
That's what you think!
You have to be on your guard with him!
You're not streetwise!
What are you staring at?
Who's that new face?
He's a new employee at the spa
and he speaks English well.
How do you do?
lt's nice to finally meet you.
Let's go in, Mom.
Please have a seat.
l want to apologize for causing you worry.
l'm sorry it took me so long to pay my respects.
We've had a rough start, but we'll live happily.
We're going to have a wedding.
She made a
difficult decision based only on her trust for me.
As you've seen, she's a good woman.
She's now your daughter-in-law.
We want to have a wedding and
be proud in front of others.
Tell me the date and place.
-Thank you! -Mom.
Drive me home now that l've seen the house.
The kids should be coming home soon.
But l've fixed lunch.
l'll eat next time. The kids will be home.
Then let me wrap some for Kot-bi and Dan-bi.
When did you make all this?
-l hired A personal chef. -Good.
What's this about a wedding?
Let's have an outdoor wedding,
and invite all your co-workers.
-Aren't you done yet? -l'm almost done.
-Are you proposing to me? -What?
Hey!
How dare you! Come here!
What?
What are you doing
singing in here when you should be working?
You were passed around from one department to another,
and came to my department because no one wanted you!
What are you going to do if you get fired?
Let go!
Just wait!
l'm going to inherit my dad's assets,
and open a fancy cafe in a fancy neighborhood!
What a relief that you're not my son!
What are you doing to the president's son?
The singers who were supposed to be in the show tonight
can't make it because they were in a car accident!
Hey! But the guests are waiting!
l'll do it with Kyong-soo!
Don't you worry about anything!
Kyong-soo and l will put on
-a fantastic show! -What?
Really?
Have you been lied to all your life?
Cool, huh?
Hey, l don't want to do it, so you do it alone.
You can't back out now!
The guests are waiting to see our performance!
Don't get nervous, and just trust me.
Come on! Just trust me!
Jang Mi-young.
l'm sorry about earlier.
lt's sort of a routine l have
Whenever l'm done writing a screenplay.
l was ecstatic about finishing it
when you came in.
You should at least acknowledge my apology!
All right, l understand, so leave me alone.
Let me buy dinner as a way of apologizing.
No.
Do you know about the illness
people living alone have?
People who live alone are prone to
getting depression when they eat alone.
Today's my birthday!
Let's help each other.
l'm done with the screenplay,
and l really don't want to eat alone tonight.
Enjoy.
l'll drink alone, since you don't drink.
Cheers.
Tomorrow's your birthday, isn't it?
What?
Don't you remember
us celebrating our birthdays together
when we were co-workers,
because they were only a day apart?
You didn't know...
How could you forget your own birthday?
lt means nothing to me right now.
Your husband must be a terrible man
to not give you any alimony
and make you go through this hardship.
l heard that a lot of men hide their money
from their wives.
No, he's not like that.
Then?
l invested in my friend's husband's mall,
and lost it all.
All of your divorce settlement?
So you lost all your money
and had your kids taken away?
Thinking back,
l wasn't in my right mind then.
l was afraid of living alone, and l was also spiteful,
wanting to show him l could get along great.
Haven't you heard of diversifying your investments?
How could you put
your whole divorce settlement into one investment?
No wonder he divorced you!
How could you be so foolish?
You would've lost it all anyway
if you were naive enough to think that way!
Do you know how many people are out there
just waiting to take advantage of
unwitting naive divorcees like you?
Your husband must've left you
because you were so foolishly naive!
Mi-young.
Mi-young...
l was too harsh...
l don't know how to keep things inside.
Mi-young...
Why did you have to leave me
For you loved me more than l loved myself
Why did you have to leave
Did l still have tears left to shed
l hate myself for crying
Must l wander in search of new love
When will my longing ever end
Let's go inside.
You're exercising?
l have to stay fit while l'm still young.
-l made bean paste stew. -You did?
This is what l've been craving!
l'm glad you like it.
You're a great cook!
Aren't you going to eat?
You made enough for me too?
Can't you see?
l have to keep exercising...
Eat slowly.
No one's going to steal your food.
lt's been a long time since l had a home-cooked meal.
lt's been a really long time for me.
l need a woman who'll make
bean paste stew for me.
You have to keep your promise.
How could you come without calling first?
The nanny had a death in the family,
and l have to go to Busan on a business trip.
l'm not asking you to watch him for a year
or a month. Just one day!
l have to edit my screenplay,
and send it this afternoon.
Just let him play here.
l have to go catch my flight.
Okay...
At least eat 2 square meals a day
if you can't eat 3.
Okay.
Hello? Yes, l'm editing it now.
l'm editing it to fit the character
to his liking!
Okay, l'll send it by 1 :00.
Dad, l'm bored.
l want to go out and play.
Wait just a little while
until l finish this.
l want to go out and play!
Do you want to go outside with me?
Let's go. l'll show you around the hotel.
l'll take him with me, so you can work.
We're trying to go here. What bus do we take?
ls it far from here?
lt's a little far.
We can see Mom when we get there?
Yes.
-Don't go too far. -Okay.
You can't sleep! Wake up!
Si-hoon!
You came to be with your dad?
-Si-hoon! -Dad!
-Where have You been? -He's your son?
He was in the women's sauna?
Yes! l thought he came with his mom.
He was playing in the locker room.
You should've gone in the men's sauna,
not the women's sauna!
Why can't l go in the women's sauna?
You're a man,
so you should go in the men's.
Otherwise, the women will be embarrassed to see you.
Why would they be embarrassed
when they don't have what l have?
-What? -You do have a point.
Hello?
Kot-bi?
Mom, we came to see you,
but l think we got off the bus at the wrong stop.
Where are you? l'll be right there!
-What's the matter? -My kids got lost coming to see me.
l have to go see them.
You're supposed to be off soon anyway,
so go.
l'll make up some excuse for you.
Thank you!
-l'll drive you. -lt's okay.
l found my kid,
so let's go find your kids.
Let's go!
Mom!
Happy birthday, Mom.
Mom!
Happy birthday, Mom.
Don't ever come by yourselves again.
Okay.
Where did you tell Grandma you were going?
We told her we were going to
a friend's birthday party.
You shouldn't lie.
Okay.
l got one!
lsn't it pretty?
Mom, look!
Why are you peeling his shrimp?
We have to share.
-Dan-bi! -Si-hoon,
what's wrong with you?
-Dan-bi! -Si-hoon!
See? You shouldn't have hit him.
Stop crying.
Enough.
l can drive you.
No, l'll take the bus with the kids.
Wait.
l'm checking out tomorrow.
l'll be abroad
for about a year working on a movie.
-Hello? -Keep The cell phone.
l insist.
Take care and be strong.
Okay, goodbye.
Who takes Mom's place when l'm not with you?
Kot-bi.
Yes, listen to her really well.
l'll come see you again, okay?
l love you, Mom.
-Cheer up. -Ditto!
l love you.
Grandma must be waiting for you.
That was a long birthday party!
Let's go inside.
l have no recollection how l made it back
For it was an unexpected goodbye
Why did you have to leave me
For you loved me more than l loved myself
Why did you have to leave
Did l still have tears left to shed
l hate myself for crying
