Eun-ho.
Excuse me.
-Dan-i. -Dan-i!
-Dan-i, congratulations! -Thanks for coming.
-You look stunning. -How pretty!
-You look gorgeous. -Congratulations.
You look so amazing.
-You look beautiful. -You're stunning.
How are you feeling?
-My gosh. -Let's take a picture together.
Forget it if you didn't hear it.
One, two, three.
-Thank you. -Thank you.
You look so beautiful today.
We will now begin the wedding ceremony
for the groom, Hong Dong-min, and the bride, Kang Dan-i.
Groom, please enter.
Now, the bride will enter.
What? The bride is gone?
-What did you say? -Hey, the bride is gone.
-What? -The bride is gone?
The bride is...
-My goodness. -What's going on?
-What? Seriously? -What do we do?
Dong-min.
Is there anything you know?
Do you know where she went?
Try to think. Did anything happen...
-Did you two fight again? -What?
We fight all the time!
Why did you two fight? There must've been a reason.
-Dan-i would never-- -I don't know.
I have no idea. I don't know why we fought.
Hey, we fought over a week ago.
Jeez, we already made up. Damn it!
Hey.
Are you the author, Cha Eun-ho?
Aren't you Cha Eun-ho who wrote The Bloody Contract series?
-May I have your autograph? -Me too.
Sorry, you got the wrong person.
-It is him. -I know.
It's totally him.
-Mr. Cha! -We know it's you!
-Wait, Mr. Cha! -Mr. Cha!
The number you have dialed is unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.
Jeez, what the hell is going on?
I...
I practiced so hard for a month to play the piano at your wedding.
-How could you-- -Eun-ho.
Dan-i, where are you?
-I'm behind you. -Behind me?
Behind me... Where?
Red light.
Are you crazy? Why did you get in my car?
Why get in my car after causing that ruckus?
I know, right?
I must've lost my mind.
Are you kidding me right now?
DONG-MIN
-Don't answer it. -How can I ignore it?
-I told you not to answer it. -Gosh, stop it.
-Jeez, please. Dan-i. -Don't.
Hello?
Eun-ho.
Hey, Dong-min.
You're with Dan-i now, right?
I know that you're with her now.
You two...
Please don't tell me that this is what I think it is.
This absurd thought had never occurred to me before, but...
No, Dong-min. No, never.
Come on. Tell him that it's not true.
He's getting the wrong idea.
He's spewing total nonsense.
Did you hear that?
She said it quietly, so maybe you couldn't hear her.
She said it's not true. She clearly said so.
Then get back here.
With Dan-i, of course.
Dan-i.
I know that I'm a loser and that I'm at fault,
but let's not be like this.
Your mother fainted.
She's in quite a bit of shock.
Come back, Dan-i.
Dong-min, I'll bring her back.
Just wait ten minutes.
SUPERMARKET
Why did you do that?
Because I was nervous.
We don't have to go back if you don't want to.
Tell me if you want to go somewhere else. I'll take you.
I have...
nowhere to go.
Then shall we go to the airport?
You could just get on any flight that's available.
Wherever it's headed, you can stay there for a few months.
We're supposed to go to Spain for our honeymoon.
My mom told us to go to Jeju Island because we're broke,
but I insisted.
All the furniture pieces and so on for our place
were bought on loan.
Why are you worrying about that now?
Dong-min said my mom fainted.
It hasn't been long since my dad passed away.
Hey, your car!
Wait! Stop! Wait.
Sorry.
If I could turn back the hands of time and pick a day to return to,
I'd choose that moment.
Whenever my marriage stressed me out, I thought of that moment.
That day, if I chose not to go back to my wedding...
That day, if I went to some faraway country
like Eun-ho had suggested,
I'd be living a very different life now.
You all know this bottle, right?
The most famous energy drink in the country.
"After a long, hard day at work,
I stand in front of the stove and cook up a storm.
But seeing my kid eating the food I made is enough
to melt all my fatigue away.
I sure am a mom."
I know that commercial.
When the mom asks her son who his favorite person in the world is...
The key is that he says his girlfriend's name.
"Children are useless.
If you want a real pick-me-up, go to a pharmacy near you."
I came up with the idea based on my experience as a mom.
There's more.
Starting with this,
I even received an award at the 2012 Korean Advertising Awards.
I dare say every Korean has seen this commercial that caused
a nationwide sensation in Korea.
Korean swimmers.
Fast
Korean taekwondo.
Fast
This familiar rhythm. You've all heard this song, right?
Guess who came up with the storyline for this commercial.
That's right. I came up with it.
Fast
But that was seven years ago.
Right, it was seven years ago indeed.
You've been lazying around since you left your last job seven years ago.
Sir, please don't get the wrong idea.
I haven't been lazing around. I've been raising my child,
the future of this country,
and looking after my family.
-I've also been volunteering at-- -Okay, sure. We heard you.
-We can do it. Power up! -We can do it. Power up!
We can do it. Be confident!
-Be confident! -We can do it!
JOB ADVERTISEMENT
Why did you leave your last job?
I wanted to hold out, but my mom,
who had been looking after my kid, got sick,
so I had no choice.
All of your superiors will be younger than you.
Will you be okay with that?
What if you only got petty tasks such as
making coffee and photocopying things?
What if you had to work late, work on weekends, or travel?
What does your husband do?
His income sustained you for seven years, so he must make quite a bit.
I guess he got fired.
We got divorced a year ago.
We can do it. Be confident!
We can do it. Be strong!
Let's go!
Ouch, another blister.
Excuse me, do you happen to have any Band-Aids on you?
No, I don't.
Number 57, Ms. Kang Dan-i.
Number 58, Ms. Seo Jeong-in.
Yes.
Living as a stay-at-home mom must've been stressful for you.
I mean, you had a successful career.
Giving that up couldn't have been easy.
I bet you felt as if everyone was moving forward but you.
I believe my experiences will contribute to the company's continued success.
OPEN RECRUITMENT
You asked me before the interview,
but the interview is over now.
Thank you.
The job market is competitive enough with people in their 20s,
and yet there are many people like you as well.
It's so annoying.
I've become so nice.
If this happened back in the day...
I had a blister.
I've interviewed many women who are trying to return after a career break.
Looking for a job must be stressful.
It's certainly not easy.
Your last answer was quite memorable.
Your 11 years of experience as a housewife will be helpful for the company?
How exactly could you help the company?
Well...
As you've seen on my résumé, I used to--
No, I'm asking about you in the present.
You see, this industry
has changed a lot.
Don't talk proudly about returning after a career break.
Returning to the workplace isn't like going on a picnic.
Hold on.
I'm desperately trying to--
I'm offended.
Do you even know what I had to do to keep my job?
How dare you show up here trying to get a job that took me years to get?
All right, this wraps up the lecture
on Romanticism and Gothic fiction of the late 19th century.
You all know that
I give you a gift when we finish each chapter.
Think about what you guys learned in this chapter.
I'd like each group to pick a piece of literature,
analyze it, and have a discussion about it.
You'll be sad if there's no individual assignment so...
-No. -No, we won't be.
I'll be sad.
Write an essay about the divide between genre literature
and pure literature.
And next class we're going to have a quiz, so be prepared.
-Come on! -That's too much!
What? I'm too handsome? I know.
-Professor! -Professor, just a second.
-Professor! Please take this. -This too.
That's enough for today.
Professor, I wrote this novel. Could you please take a look at it?
My company will run a contest for emerging writers.
You should enter the contest.
Professor, do you have a girlfriend?
Yes, I'm meeting her family tomorrow. We're getting married soon.
No way.
LITTLE PEOPLE, THE REVOLT OF THE POWERLESS
AUTHOR CHA EUN-HO
There.
The size is different from last time.
He's seeing someone else now.
DAN-I
Your housekeeper told me that you keep bringing different girls home.
Get married if you've found a decent girl.
Stop hitting on a bunch of girls.
Jeez, what the hell.
Hey, what's up?
Find a new housekeeper for me.
Why?
I can tell she's neat from the way she cleans,
and I'm sure the food she makes suits your picky palate.
I don't like that she talks about me.
She tells you everything.
So? When did you start seeing that girl who left the red bra?
She even told you the color?
I've been putting up with her because you recommended her,
but she's clumsy.
Also, I think she only does half a day's work.
Hey.
How cranky.
You can't fire me.
I have nowhere to go.
I really need this income.
JAE-HUI'S INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY
Yes, hello.
Hello, Ms. Kang. Everything's well with you, right?
Jae-hui must've told you that she wants to stay here for another semester.
To proceed, we need documents that prove your financial stability.
Oh, what kinds of documents?
We'll need your letter of employment
and a bank statement that shows you have over ten million won in your account.
A bank statement and a letter of employment?
DAN-I
Can't you just keep that housekeeper?
I warned her.
EUN-HO
I'll change the door passcode.
Don't send her to my place anymore. You deal with her.
That woman is weird. I think she even takes showers at my place.
A towel I had never used was hung on the drying rack,
and my shampoo ran out so quickly.

PC NEEDS TO RESTART
I'm not an idiot.
-What the... -Once, even my laptop was on.
I didn't want to say this,
but I even run out of rice quickly.
I'm sure she eats the food at my place.
What's wrong with eating a bit of food while working?
That cranky punk. I don't even eat much.

Hello, Ms. Ko.
Good morning.
Ms. Song, take that off.
Why bother setting a time? Everyone will be late anyways.
No one's here yet, right?

What has gotten into you? The writing is great.
Why start over?
Just keep writing. Keep on writing.
Just write, will you?
What... Your computer?
Hey! Why has your computer broken down right at this moment?
I mean, would you believe that?
You should've just said you broke your fingers.
You prick.
SEO YEONG-A, TEAM LEADER OF MARKETING TEAM
Ms. Song! I left my shoes in the car.
Sorry, can you get them for me?
Mr. Kim isn't here yet, right?
My kid got sick this morning.
You were wise not to get married.
My husband's a stranger, and my child is a burden.
My house and workplace are all a mess.
I have no personal life.
Why does he call us for meetings so often?
There's nothing to discuss, you know.
KIM JAE-MIN PRESIDENT OF GYEOROO
And it's not like he ever listens to us.
He just makes all the decisions.
He's practically just a dictator.
I don't get why he holds so many executive meetings.
He always says we have a long way to go.
I'm sick of him saying that.
You're late again.
You're here.
EXECUTIVE MEETING TARDINESS CHECK TABLE
Okay, everyone. We have a long way to go.
Let's start talking about hiring new recruits.
GYEOROO NEW RECRUITMENT 2019 JOB OPENINGS
Did you make this, Ms. Seo?
Yes, I already discussed everything with the HR manager. What's wrong?
Quite a few changes need to be made.
First of all,
-it says there's no age limit. -What about that?
Is it really necessary to state that?
I know a lot of companies now disobey the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
But we make books. Wouldn't that be embarrassing?
Okay, then. How about we do this?
We'll accept all graduates
and those who will graduate in August, 2019.
But when we screen their résumés, we'll eliminate
those who have been graduates for over two years.
Happy now? We're sticking to the law.
This is so embarrassing.
Then what about "no degree required?"
"No degree required" is nonsense.
People who study well do better at work.
You're right. Those who study well prove
that they meet the standard qualifications
such as patience, sincerity, passion, and so on.
However,
we are people who make books.
If we're too calculative,
we'll end up losing our luck.
Therefore, let's stick to the law for at least one criteria.
Okay, let's see.
Task Support Team. No age limit. No limits on academic background.
They hire high school graduates.
Then we can hire one.
But they're contract workers.
So? Getting a job is hard these days.
-But even so... -Hey.
-But... -Enough.
Next, let's look at last month's sales report.
We have a long way to go.
-What is this? -What's the point
-You call this a sales report? -Of having a meeting?
NO TRESPASSING
TO BE DEMOLISHED
NO TRESPASSING, TO BE DEMOLISHED
Dan-i, let's do it together.
A house should always face south.
We're getting so much sunlight.
What do you think? Does it look good with the house?
It's perfect.
You'll ruin the floor.
Jae-hui, how about we ride the bicycle outside
once the weather becomes warm? Let's ride it in the park.
How bad would it ruin the floor? We can just wipe it.
We worked so hard to buy this house. I'd rather have you ruin my face.
Jae-hui, come here. Let's drink juice.
Juice. I want to drink a lot.
Hurry, Dad.
Jae-hui, what's this?
-A puppy. -A puppy.
-What about this? -What is that?
-What do you think? -A cat.
That's not even that expensive. Why don't you just buy it?
Green onions are really expensive these days.
If we plant one like this, we get to eat it all winter.
-Aren't I right? -Jae-hui.
-Say "building." -Building.
Your mom could buy a building with all her savings.
-Let's buy one. -What's this?
Dong-min.
Let's start over again. What do you say?
I'll try harder.
We got married because we loved each other.
Think about Jae-hui.
I'm sorry for everything.
I know I said some mean things to you,
but that was because I was also upset that your business went bankrupt.
I'm sorry about that. I won't ever do that again.
I'm okay that we lost the house. I'm okay with everything.
Let's go to your dad's house in the countryside and start over...
Go there and do what?
What are you going to do there?
Dig holes to find food?
Then did you think
you could solve everything by cheating on me?
Is that why you cheated on me?
No, wait, Dong-min.
I'll...
I'll never mention her again.
I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.
Let go of me.
Dong-min, please. Dong-min.
Don't cry.
Dan-i.
Your husband won't come back.
You can cry all you want, but he still won't come back.
You'll have to be on your own from now on.
BANK BALANCE
Jae-hui.
It's me, your mom.
I got a call from the academy.
And I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not doing well financially.
I still haven't found a place to live,
and I still don't have a job.
So...
Jae-hui.
What's wrong? Why are you crying?
What's the matter?
Mom.
I'm really sick..
My stomach hurts so much.
How does it hurt?
Did you not go to the hospital?
Medical bills here aren't covered by insurance, so it'll cost a lot of money.
Still, you should've gone to the hospital.
Call your teacher and go to the hospital.
Mom.
Jae-hui.
I have money.
I have enough for you to go to the hospital.
Go to the hospital,
and you can continue studying there.
I'll let you do everything you want.
You're making me feel upset.
Why didn't you go to the hospital?
The story is nice, but the writing skills...

My gosh, this darn woman.
I told her not to come near my desk.
I can't forgive this.
I'm going to fire her even though Dan-i introduced me to her.
RÉSUMÉ
KANG DAN-I
What? Was Dan-i here?
Why is she suddenly trying to get a job?
Did you go to the hospital?
Can you please call me?
I can't sleep because I'm so worried.
JAE-HUI
Mom, I'm sending you a text message because you've probably fallen asleep.
Apparently, I have enteritis. The doctor says it's nothing serious.
I just have to get a shot and I can get discharged tomorrow.
I'll call once I get discharged.
I have an interview.
Stop!
Hey, did you not check if there was anyone inside?
What is this?
What are you doing here? Can't you read the signs?
How did she get in?
You can't just enter someone else's house like that.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry, but my belongings are inside.
Pack up and leave.
If the landlord finds out, you'll get sued for breaking and entering.
Okay. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What? Is she homeless?
How did she live in there with no electricity and water?
Let's get back to work.
NOTICE OF CONSTRUCTION
I'll worry about tomorrow when it comes.
The sun will shine again tomorrow.
I have nowhere to go,
but I'll still go to my interview today.
I need to buy a Band-Aid.
It's here.
-Excuse me. -Sorry.
Excuse me.
My gosh.
It's just unbelievable.
Goodness.
-You startled me. -That must be hers.
-My gosh. -I feel sorry for her.
Hello, I'm Kang Dan-i. I have an interview at your company today.
It's Kang Dan-i.
But I don't think I can make it to the interview today.
So I was wondering if I could go tomorrow instead.
Then can you at least postpone it for an hour?
Yes, of course. I know that you have rules.
But I promise I'll be there in an hour.
Yes.
You're right.
I know you don't care about my personal situation.
It's not that I can't make it.
I choose not to.
I have to take three different subway lines
and it won't be easy to commute anyway...
Besides, I doubt you'll even hire me.
Fine. Whatever!
I'll look for another job.
I choose not to go.
That'll be 3,000 won.
JAE-HUI
Mom, I got discharged.
I'll send you the hospital bill,
so wire me the money.
-Aren't you buying it? -I'm sorry.
I'll change the door passcode. Don't send her to my place anymore.
EUN-HO
DAN-I
Mandheling drip with one block of ice, please.
I went on a blind date.
I'm getting married.
You must've been busy
considering it's only been three weeks.
What kind of a man is he?
Is that all you have to say?
It's an important question since you'll be marrying him.
Are you sure we dated?
-Did you even ever love me? -You know how I am.
I'm not the type who gives way for others.
Marriage? It's not for me.
Hold on.
Now do as you wish.
Come on.
-I was going to wear this home. -You don't know love.
You don't even believe it exists.
Bastard.
That'll be 1,600 won.
5 MISSED CALLS DAN-I
Dan-i is why
I don't believe in love.
Are you all right?
Wish us luck!
-Why-- -I see you called.
Where are you? You changed your door passcode.
I told you I would and that I'm firing the housekeeper.
Why weren't you picking up?
I was busy getting dumped.
Why?
She's an odd one.
Isn't she the one who left her bra behind?
She says I don't know love.
It's true that men are clueless when it comes to love.
I doubt you're any different.
It's all because of you.
Why? What did I ever do to you?
Nothing you need to know about.
Did you come by my place yesterday?
I saw your résumé. Are you looking for a job?
It's all over now.
No one will hire someone who's trying to return after a career break. This life...
is already a bust.
I truly feel that way.
I'm not wanted and I have nowhere to be.
My account will be empty once I wire Jae-hui all I have left.
I thought Dong-min's business picked up.
Where are you now?
I am
at the edge of my life.
I have nowhere to be.
So the next guy I encounter,
no matter who he is, I will just follow him.
Tonight, I'll--
-Miss! -What the hell?
Dan-i?
I'll call you back.
I know my life's a mess,
but this is unacceptable. Let go of me!
Just join me for one drink.
I'm more decent than you think.
You obnoxious pig.
How dare you touch me, you piece of shit.
You shit-faced asshole on crack.
-Let me -Let go of me!
entertain you.
-Come on. -Let go of her!
I'm sorry for being late.
Get lost, you prick.
Just know that it's not because I'm scared.
Take care, sir.
I want to be loved too.
Are you all right?
I'm sorry.
I was watching from upstairs and you seemed like you were in trouble.
Right. Thank you.
I would've been able to fend him off, but I appreciate it.
Haven't you seen someone without shoes before?
Not when it isn't summer.
Take a seat over there.
I may sound insane to you
since I think that's how I sound,
but I have a pair of shoes.
How you think of this is up to you,
but I'm not a man who always carries around women's shoes.
Hold on a second. Just sit still.
They fit perfectly.
Why are you laughing?
These are mine.
I saw a woman while waiting for the bus today.
She had lost a shoe.
Over here!
I hoped to give it back to her,
but she was long gone.
I looked around for her,
but all I found was her other shoe.
I couldn't throw away a good pair of shoes,
but I didn't know what to do with them.
I met the shoes' owner just like a miracle.
How was that story?
I just made it up.
Every woman likes that story. It's Cinderella.
-That's right. -However,
I'm too old to believe in such a fairy tale.
The thought of being saved by a knight in shining armor
is too far-fetched
for me to believe.
I'd rather write my own life's story.
Aren't you cold?
I am.
But I guess life has its cold days.
Take this.
It's a gift.
Thank you for finding my shoes.
It's all I have.
Cut where the green part ends,
and you won't have to buy spring onions for a while.
Hold on a second.
Please take this.
There's no way to return it.
-Besides, I'm already soaked. -Still, take it.
Jeez. Did you and Dong-min argue?
Why are you soaking wet?
Can I get a warm glass of water?
Sure.
I'm freezing.
What's going on?
What's with that bag?
Why did you call earlier?
Here.
I'm going to sleep over here.
-Come again? -Can I sleep over at your house?
It's just for tonight.
Did you run away from home?
Why are you going upstairs?
-They say lovers' spats never last. So-- -Cha Eun-ho!
I'll stay over just for tonight.
I really...
don't have a place to go today.
I have
nowhere to go.
What's going on with her?
Should I call Dong-min?
Me?
Why should I?
What's going on?
RÉSUMÉ
What's this about?
You're keeping a lot from me nowadays.
You really won't tell me?
Okay, I'll stop asking. Slow down.
I get it. You might not want to talk about it.
There are times like that in life.
Please hire another housekeeper.
I'll be your housekeeper.
What's gotten into you?
You're not going home?
I have no home
to return to.
I got divorced a year ago.
Is that a new novel?
There's no way I wouldn't have known that.
Wash the dishes since I let you stay over last night.
And go home. I'll call you later.
Did Dong-min cheat on you?
That can't be true, right?
