Episode 2 Episode 2
Gaein. What are you doing here?
Why, you little... hey, Inhui!
Mr. Kim! Mr. Kim!
Get out of my way!
- Let go of me! - Out!
You bastard!
Gee, that lady...
Let me go!
We apologize for the disruption.
We will continue with the ceremony.
Director Choi just got up.
Inhui! Inhui, wait!
Do you feel better now?
Sorry I disrupted your wedding.
Don't worry about it. I won't feel guilty anymore, either.
You should live in guilt for the rest of your life, you wench.
Hey!
Are you okay, Inhui?
Yeah, Sangjun...
What's this?
I’m very sorry.
I was rushing out and hit your car by accident
I'm truly sorry.
That's fine.
I see that you've left your contact information, so you can get going.
Your proposal for the Dream Art Center was impressive.
Today's not good, but give me a call
on Tuesday.
Wait... Inhui,
you and I are in the same boat.
Listen to me.
Inhui!
Hey, hold on!
I'm telling you, I really told Gaein.
I even gave her an invitation.
Forget it, just forget it! You're a pathological liar.
You've humiliated me!
Hand over the tickets.
Tickets?
Yes, tickets.
Let's just forget the wedding
and start with the honeymoon.
You think I'm crazy? You think I'd go on a honeymoon with you?
What are you talking about we have to go together!
I must have been out of my mind. Forget it.
Don't be like this, Inhui...
Inhui, wait!
Well, you're lucky she didn't slap you.
You can't hold on to your woman and you've made a big mess.
Dad...
Oh, yeah?
Sure, sure... thank you.
The project was supposed to be handed over to a foreign architecture firm
but Director Choi put his foot down on the matter.
He wants the foreign firms to compete fairly with the domestic firms.
Oh yeah?
It's better for us if everyone's playing fair.
And we were trying so hard to scheme up something...
But you're in the running now.
The hard part's just begun.
How was the wedding?
You dolt! You lost the bet you're not supposed to be here. Get out!
It was a silly drinking game. You can't seriously make me quit over that.
Sangjun, get rid of Taehun's desk.
Right, let's get rid of it.
No way! You can't do this!
You'll regret getting rid of me.
Have it your way, then. But no salary for you... forever.
Salary? You can't not pay me!
I have information! Something that'll interest you!
We don't need it.
It's something that will secure the Dam Art Museum contract for you.
Have you ever heard of Sanggojae? Sanggojae.
- What? - Sanggojae, Sanggojae.
Sang-Go-Jae.
What character is that, is that “Go”?
No, Sir. It's “Hyang”
That's right, “Hyang.”
But wait, is Hyang a Korean surname?
Gaein... pick up the phone.
Park Gaein.
Wonho
Connect you message box
I'm sorry, Gaein.
I borrowed another $10,000 without asking you.
You see, this movie star was on this commercial...
and I thought it was a bank...
but they just looked like bank.
I'll pay it back , I promise.
Dirty rascals. I believed them.
Dirty rascal. We believed you!
Sir! I found the rascal!
Get him... get him!
Han Changryeol, this was your pathetic way of telling me?
Auction?
Wonho! Get the phone!
So... the head of MS Group which is a parent company of Dam Art
Museum... is a friend of your father's?
Okay. Enter yet another thread...
Professor Park Cheolhan designed a building called Sanggojae, which
the head of the parent company fell in love with.
The Director offered the Dam Art Museum contract to him, but he declined.
Yes.
But he's still affected by the deep impression that Sanggojae left on him.
Exactly.
Jinho, if this is information is accurate
this contract is in the bag.
I'm telling you, it's for real.
Let's see what we can find out about Sanggojae, to start.
Who's your father, that he hobnobs with such business magnates, anyway?
Really?
You're the son of that family, for real?
Jinho!
Hyemi!
Na Hyemi!
Is today a special day?
Yes, it's the day I go on a date with Jinho.
What's she talking about, Jinho?
Stop playing around. If you're done shopping, go on home.
No, you'll be going on a date with me today.
Just wait and see.
Lee Wonho!
Dad?
What are you doing calling at this hour?
It must be daybreak there...
How have you been?
Wrong?
No, nothing's wrong.
It's just been so long...
In May?
I thought you were supposed to come in August.
Yes. See you then.
What am I going to do?
If Dad sees me like this, I'm dead...
Park Gaein, keep calm.
There's a way. There has to be a way.
$2,250 in savings...
I'll liquidate the insurance...
Inhui! Inhui!
Yeongseon... What am I gonna do?
Happy Birthday.
Blow out your candles and don't forget to make a wish.
You're so busy, we could've just done something simple at home.
Too many candles.
That's a bit much,
I don't look like I'm in my thirties... do I?
Are you kidding? You have no idea.
When I walk around with you on my arm, people think we're dating.
I always hear them whispering behind us.
Oh, they must all be blind...
Did you make a wish?
I don't have much to wish for.
You kids will be getting engaged soon, won't you?
This is your birthday gift.
Oh, thank you.
It's enough for me that you came, Hyemi.
No gift from the dutiful son?
Yeah, Sangjun...
Right.
We can talk about that later. And did you make reservations at the spa?
Great, thanks.
Mom, you wanted to go to the spa didn't you?
You and Hyemi go together.
It's your birthday gift.
Oh my... I'll can't tell you anything.
It was just something I said in passing. How did you remember that?
I have to get going. Something's come up.
Oh, really?
Hyemi, take her home, will you?
Jinho...
Sangjun! Make reservations at the spa.
Gaein... Park Gaein...
Sitting in the dark will just make you more depressed.
Cheer up...
You're here.
At least your will to survive is making you... stuff yourself.
That's right, eat... you gotta eat.
You're the one only one I have to turn to, Yeongseon.
You silly girl you're like a sister to me!
Yeah, speaking of which...
Yeah?
Got any money?
Ooh, this looks delicious... Are these the vegetables I gave you?
I thought I was like your sister.
Well, if you want to get technical I guess we're really not related...
You're no help.
Just tell your dad the truth.
Don't you know what my father is like?
Why did he have to love your mother so much?
Lee Yeongseon.
I'm just saying... you're the same blood living under the same sky.
It's a pity you guys have such a difficult relationship.
Sorry.
The architect, professor Park Cheolhan
built Sanggojae for his wife who died around the time it was completed.
The place has not been open to the public for the past thirty years.
The exterior seems rather plain for something
that was created by as renown an architect as Park.
I just don't see what Mr. Choi sees in it.
Park Cheolhan is in England as a visiting professor.
So who's living there now?
His only daughter, from what I hear.
Wait... a daughter means she's a girl.
And if she's a girl...
Bravo, Jeon Jinho!
What are you saving your good looks and physique for, anyway?
Now's the time to use them.
Don't play around.
I'm not playing around. It's a solution to the problem.
You know, I heard that professor Park's wife was an incredible beauty.
If the daughter's anything like her mother she'd be incredibly beautiful, too.
Forget it.
I'm headed over to the Dam Museum. If you like beautiful ladies, why
don't you make your way out to Sanggojae and see what you can find out there.
I've worked so hard... to get Dad's approval.
But ... here I am again.
I guess... l can cry on a day like today.
Today... I'll cry.
Today I'll get it all out... so I can start over again.
Because I'm Mommy's brave, spunky daughter.
No, not really...
I'm 29 years old. Yes, that's right.
No...
So, Mr. Guru... what will happen to me?
Wait.
I see, I see, I see...
It's coming, it's coming...
Huh? What's coming?
A noble spirit is coming from the east.
Where, where?
Today, someone will visit you from the east. He will open up your path.
Whatever you do, hold on to him.
A man from the east.
The east... the east.
The east would be...
It must be the noble spirit!
Oh, Noble Spirit!
Oh, you're...
You... At the wedding...
No, that's not me.
What?
What's she doing here?
She's the would be picturesque daughter of professor Park Cheolhan?
By any chance... did you come from the east?
Our office is in Gangnam.
Darn...
You! You should break up with that pervert boyfriend of yours.
You're being deceived.
She's gone mad. Totally mad.
Hello?
Is this “Personal Story” line designer Park Gaein?
Yes, this is Park Gaein. Who's this?
I'm calling from Nyce Department Store.
Could you come in for a moment?
Yes! I'll be right over, yes.
I'm sorry...
I personally think it's an exceptional item.
But the higher-ups in merchandising don't feel that it has marketability.
I'll amend the design to accommodate your needs.
No, no... that won't be necessary.
I apologize.
But, but...
What do you want?
Jinho, my boy!
Do you two know each other?
Much more than know each other.
Jinho's late father and I were very good friends.
I told you to come by often, think of our home as your home.
It's been a long time.
Yes, what brings you here?
I have some business to tend to.
We were just about to go for lunch. Why don't you join us?
Would you mind if we all dined together? This boy is like a son to me.
No, no... I'll come back another time.
Yes, I think that would be better.
I hope M Architecture will be submitting a proposal.
Yes.
Good, I'm glad. I'll be looking forward to it.
Shall we?
Yes.
It's good for young ones to be ambitious.
But they should also know the line between being passionate and being rash.
Not that I'm talking to you, necessarily...
Dad, is this our new house?
Yes.
Was that Director Choi leaving with C.E.O. Han?
Is he trying to finagle his way into this deal just like he did with the other contract?
What happened at Sanggojae?
Don't even mention that name.
This is turning out to be an utter fiasco.
What do you mean?
That girl... is the daughter.
The girl who broke up Changryeol's wedding.
The girl who designs that strange furniture. She's Park Cheolhan's daughter.
What?
The Sanggojae has been closed to the public for thirty years.
Do you think that looney girl will let us in to see it?
Forget it, we don't have a chance.
Sangjun, I'm going to win this.
I didn't want it to be like this, either.
Mom... so Dad just left it like that?
I can't believe it...
Huh?
I'll have you over when we're a little more settled.
You can come by then.
Oh, yes.
- Anyway, have you been eating the brown rice? - He's on the phone with his mom.
Don't you know how good brown rice is for you?
It's your mom in Yeonhui-dong.
Mom, it's my mom in Yeonhui-dong.
I'll call you later.
Okay...
Hi, Mom!
Oh, the wedding was lovely, of course.
Honeymoon?
We decided to go later since we're both so busy with work right now.
You got a Botox injection just to appear at our wedding?
I told you to stop getting those things done.
Don't you know how bad that is for you? Where'd you have it done?
Your father.
Mom, Dad's on the phone, I gotta go.
I'll call you later. Okay.
Yes, Dad.
Where have you been hiding?
You said to disappear from your sight.
What did you say?
Looks like Jinho has his eyes on the Dam Art Museum project.
What? He's butting in again?
We won't be able to win over the contract with the same tactics.
Choi is heir to the MS Group, so he's not in a situation where he needs anything.
Dad, I'm not going to lose to a chump like Jinho, don't worry.
And... about Inhui...
I told you not to mention her again!
Find out everything you can about
the Dam Art Museum's Director, Mr. Choi.
When you say everything...
You know, his habits,
where he likes to drink, relationships with women, weaknesses... things like that.
Jeon Jinho, brace yourself.
We're going to fight it out for good this time.
Careful.
We have to have a plan, but where do we start?
I'm going to get that Wonho.
How are you going to do that?
What else can I do...
Just put Inhui's room up for rent.
Are you crazy?
It's bad enough that Sanggojae is being auctioned off
you want me to take in a stranger on top of that?
No way! My father would kill me if he found out!
If you want to save the house, taking in a tenant is the quickest way to make money.
Do you have any other ideas?
No.
We'll stop by the realtors to post it on the way home.
Mister, could we swung by the realtor's office briefly on the way?
Who's that?
We're here, get up.
Wonho, it's Wonho!
Stop the car! Stop!
Hey, Wonho!
Stop right there!
I said stop!
I won't hurt you! Let's just talk!
Wonho! Lee Wonho! You...!
Stop right there! Hey!
You have a complicated love life.
What are you doing here?
Hey!
Are you okay?
I'm fine... him... go get him...
Hey you!
Think you can run away...
You... the $10,000... where is it?
How much is left?
You didn't use all of it, did you? There must be some left...
give me what's left...
I used it all.
What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do?
How could you spend that money...
Have you been eating okay...?
Slow down... no one's chasing you.
You're chasing me.
Cast down your eyes and eat in humility... before I slug you.
You really have no money left?
My father's coming three months early.
What am I supposed to do?
Do you know how desperate I am?
I even put Inhui's old room up for rent.
Rent.
I need to use the restroom.
You'd better be quick.
Are you stupid?
He's running away.
Don't worry. He's not someone who would... lie.
You... hey, Lee Wonho!
Hey!
Are you always like this?
Like what?
Are you always so trusting of others?
It's a chronic condition, you see...
Are you okay? Do you think you can walk?
I'm fine. Nothing to go see a doctor about.
Let's go. I'll take you to the clinic.
Hold on to me.
Something's fishy...
Thank you.
Let's go. I'll take you home.
Why are you being so nice?
Huh?
You caught Wonho for me you paid for my doctor's visit.
Now you're offering to take me home.
From what I could gather by our brief encounters,
you didn't exactly seem like the friendliest person.
In situations like this you just say, “Thank you.”
I'll pay back the medical bill.
You don't have to pay it back with money.
If you're really grateful show me the inside of Sanggojae.
How did you know the name of my house?
Did my father send you?
I saw “Sanggojae” written on the signboard.
And I don't know your father.
Then why do you want to see my house?
Didn't you say you had a room to rent?
Thank you for today. I'll repay your kindness one day.
There's no need for that just show me the house.
Our house is closed to outsiders.
Take care...
Then why did you put the room up for rent?
I have no intention of renting the room to you.
He just doesn't get it...
Just give it some thought.
Warning
What's this?
You used the house as collateral for a loan?
It's none of your business.
I see... borrowed a little money
and now you end up losing the house to loan sharks.
You're really... it's none of your business!
Why are you making things difficult for yourself?
Just lease the room to me.
My deposit money should hold you over for the moment.
How can a woman living by herself possibly take in a male tenant?
Who's a woman, you?
Oh, you're here.
Where's Wonho?
I knew it.
I put the returned tables in the back.
Thanks.
Oh! That day... at the wedding.
How is it that you're together...?
I think you should leave now. Let's go in.
Just give it some thought.
Ummm... I don't know what this is about,
but I'll convince her. Just wait here.
What's wrong with your foot?
I was chasing Wonho and twisted my ankle.
So... that guy wants to rent the room?
Yeah.
So what's the problem?
That's great! It's perfect.
You have a room and the guy has money.
Yeah, but how could I live with a man?
That's ridiculous.
It's not like he's a total stranger. And you don't need to worry about...
You know...
What?
You don't need to worry about him attacking you.
To him, you're no different than a stone or a piece of lumber.
You think so?
Of course!
What's so good about a female tenant anyway?
Inhui's a woman and she betrayed you.
Take him in... and if it doesn't work out,
you can just give back his money and kick him out.
Gaein, having a gay friend can be fantastic!
I'm totally crazy about that...
What's that?
Your complexion seriously needs some care.
Here, come in...
Hurry, hurry...
Come on in.
Take a look around.
You're back...
You weren't able to get beyond the doorway either, were you...
I rented a room.
Room? What room?
You're moving out? Because of Hyemi?
Partly... that and other reasons.
Where are you moving to?
Where else? To Sanggojae.
What? Sanggojae? Really?
Sangjun, I'm going into Sanggojae.
How did you manage to do that?
Don't let Hyemi and Taehun know about this, okay?
Serious?
Of course.
Hey, you're really something...
Can you move in right away?
Of course.
- Go, go. - Nice.
What?
What's going on?
Everybody go home early.
What is it?
It's nothing.
Hold down the fort, will you?
What's going on?
Bravo!
Really, it's nothing to clap about.
I'll be living with a man.
It's awkward.
And I've had only unpleasant experiences with that guy.
Forget it already. He's so good-looking.
What?
If a man is that good-looking,
you should be able to forgive him for any infraction.
Oh, those taut buns... if only I could cop a feel...
Yeah... they were pretty tight. They felt so full in my hands.
Hey, hey... what are you doing?
You're supposed to share when you have something good.
Hey, Lady. Mother of Junhyeok... get a hold of yourself.
I just agreed to this because I'm in dire straits.
Are we dreaming, or is this for real? We finally have access to Sanggojae.
Our lives depend on you now.
That's why I agreed to live with that klutz.
She may be a klutz,
but she must be interested in you.
Why else would a woman who lives alone take in a male tenant?
Right...
Yes, yes.
Anyway, do your best. Keep your door wide open at all times.
Keep yourself clean and tidy... and the right moment will find you.
You must sacrifice yourself for the good of the company.
Stop with the horrifying idea.
It's not horrifying.
You've already given your butt to her.
That makes things a lot easier
Sangjun... Carry this for me.
Right. Of course.
You're a very important person. Let's go.
Oh yeah, why did you come over earlier?
Well... oh, umm...
Well, you see...
You two must have known each other for a long time.
Yes, a long time.
He's a prickly one. Not easy to be around.
How'd you know that we've known each other for a long time?
I'm just... interested, is all.
Oh, I hope you're not interested in Jinho.
Sangjun, don't talk nonsense.
Oh, you boys are so open...
Not too many restrictions in terms of communal space.
No pictures. My father won't allow it.
Oh and the refrigerator and washing machine are communal use.
That's all.
Hold on a minute.
There are a few precautions I'd like to set.
Yes?
The house is a mess.
While I'm living here, you'll have to maintain a certain level of tidiness.
I see the place is strewn with empty instant noodle bowls.
Please keep your hands off the food that I stock in the fridge.
Also, please see to it that my clothes
do not get mixed in with your
clothes... in the wash.
I mean, I assume that you're at least that civilized.
Oh really...
Well, let's just make all the details about everything very clear, then.
Mr. Jeon Jinho... make sure you see to it that you not trespass
beyond your room and the communal space. If you do...
What are you going to do?
I'll cut you.
Huh? Cut what?
What else, the part of your body that's trespassed.
Hahaha! Oh, your jokes are way too much...
A very unique sense of humor... hahaha...
Yes, yes.
Why don't we close the official signing here.
And work towards maintaining good relations.
Looking forward to it.
Getting on her nerve isn't going to help, you know.
Did you see the state of the house?
It's an insult to Sanggojae to be living in these conditions.
What, what?
Here, let me see.
Oh, my poor Jinho, you've gotten a scar on your million-dollar thigh...
Hold on where's the first aid kit...
I'm okay...
Hold on... here, take off your pants. Let me put some of this on you.
I'm okay...
What, you're being shy in front of me? I've already seen everything.
I said I'm okay!
It'll get infected.
What, are you scared it'll hurt?
I'll be gentle.
You crybaby...
Be gentle!
Gentle? I am being gentle.
I'm doing this all for you.
Okay, I'll put it in softer this time.
Here I go...
Hold on, just hold on...
You're impossible. Don't eavesdrop!
You must have done something good in a past life.
This is truly a blessing.
Gee, I want to move into Sanggojae, too.
Acting so clean and tidy... look how indecent he becomes as soon
as the sun goes down! Getting down and dirty like that...
Down and dirty? You should be thankful.
Whatever... but that partner of his... l feel bad for him.
Why? They're loving like crazy in there.
You have no idea how promiscuous that guy is.
Last time, he was at this motel with this huge
hunky guy... really bulky...
Oh, really...
And what were you doing at that motel?
I had my reasons.
Do you think that hunky guy will ever come around here?
I'm going to have to set some ground rules...
So that he doesn't just bring in any guy left and right.
What kind of place does he think this is?
Is it a crime to love? Is love a crime?
You loose woman.
I'd better get going.
Take good care of my Jinho, will you?
Oh yes... l guess.
Don't you worry about a thing.
Bye. See yourself to the door...
So... when do you think that other guy will be coming around...
Excuse me?
Mr. Jeon Jinho... one other thing you'll have to keep in mind...
She just wants to wish you the best with your relationship.
Love conquers all...
What is she talking about?
Inhui!
What are you doing here?
It's our newlywed apartment.
Inhui, you've come back to me!
Are you crazy? What newlywed apartment the wedding was ruined!
Get out.
I have nowhere to go. Dad kicked me out.
Besides, my dad's the one who bought this house.
You're so petty...
Get up.
What?
This bed was a gift from Gaein.
Get up right this minute.
Use your brain... if she knew
that you stole her boyfriend you think she would have given you this gift?
Don't forget that boyfriend was you!
This blanket is mine, too! The pillows, too!
And those pajamas, take them off!
I sure will! You think I won't take this off?
I'd rather do that than deal with a cheap petty person like you.
- Go ahead, take it off! - Take it...
Take it all back!
Your underwear is pathetic.
What's wrong with them?
What about you?
What are you wearing inside?
It's that French lingerie I bought for you.
I can see it! Take that off, now!
Fine, I'll give it back to you. You cheapskate!
Wait a minute... are you wearing pink lipstick?
It's the one that I bought you, isn't it? Isn't it?!
What?
Here, take it back!
Hey, you're really pushing it!
Fine, since this is my apartment don't step on the floor, either.
I bought the air purifier. Don't breathe in the air.
Hyemi
Connect was not...
Don't worry, Hyemi. I'll try calling him.
He usually picks up when I call.
Hold on a minute...
Jangmi
Jinho...
I can't talk right now. I'll call you later.
What's going on? Where are you?
I gotta go now. I'll explain later.
Can't you explain how?
Explain... what you're doing in here?
It was dark I couldn't find my room.
You remember the rules we set earlier, don't you?
What rules?
I'm tired. Let's go in.
Kim Inhui... Why are you standing in front of my eyes?
I'm going into my house. Do I need your permission?
What?
Me and Changryeol are through. That makes everything okay, doesn't it?
You... you're lucky you can be so cool about everything.
Let's not fight over a guy.
Hey...
Hey... have you forgotten what you did to me?
And you?
My wedding was ruined because of you.
I have nowhere to go, and I'm treated as an outcast at work.
How are you going to make that up?
If someone heard you, they'd think that I stole your boyfriend.
Boyfriend? You're so funny.
What?
Do you think that Changryeol ever took you seriously as his girlfriend?
What did you say?
Park Gaein. You have no idea what love is.
You'd have to have received it to know how to give it.
So, did receiving all the love that you've received
make you lie and steal another person's boyfriend...
and then turn around to be so self-righteous?
At least I don't beg for love like you.
You don't know the difference between love and pity.
They feel sorry for you you think that's love, don't you?
How could you do this to me!
Let go of me!
How could you do this to me!
Park Gaein!
Entertaining for you?
Keep it down. You're not the only one living here.
Hey, who is that guy?
What's it to you?
Park Gaein. You shouldn’t live so recklessly.
How could you take in a male roommate?
And a guy so young like that?
What... you want him, too? Wanna steal him, too?
I never steal anyone.
That guy will never go to you.
Why not? Within ten minutes, every man says okay.
You could be reborn a thousand times but he's not your type.
We"ll just have to see about that.
Seduce him all you want.
That guy... is gay.
