Christmas we’ve all been waiting for
is just around the corner.
I feel empty inside having spent
another uneventful year.
Why don’t magical things
ever happen to me?
It’s cold and nothing is going my way.
I hope we get a lot of snow.
This letter was sent by a listener.
If everything in life went as planned,
what fun would that be?
Don’t magical things happen
when least expected?
I’ll sing the song you requested
to cheer you up.
Jingle bell, jingle bell,
jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh, yeah!
Jingle bell, jingle bell,
jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
in a one-horse open sleigh, yeah!
Yes, sir.
Yes, that’s confirmed.

A YEAR-END MEDLEY
Welcome, sir.
I hope madam isn’t too upset
for waiting so long.
I can see everyone’s future
except for mine.
I’m also clumsy
once I leave the hotel.
Wasn’t I supposed to
give you a reading?
Yes!
How’s later today?
Right here? Today?
Sure, I’ll call you once I’m done.
My gosh, thank you!
I’ll see you later.
- Okay!
- See you!
Sir, it’s here!
Right, I know.
I knew it was here.
Call me.
Afternoon, I’m here.
Another casting call for Lee g*ng?
It’s written all over your face.
He took over all
year-end music charts.
At this rate he won’t have time for us.
No way!
You believed in him
when no one did.
I think a lot of people
can relate to that.
You know I’m having
a Christmas concert, right?
I sent you two tickets
to enjoy with your family or friend.
I hope you create nice memories
with your loved ones.
I got it.
What?
You’ll get a proposal
before the year ends.
Really?
I think you already have an idea.
Not too many days
until the year’s over.
Life is always full of surprises.
Everything in even numbers,
always in pairs.
Even serial number
and expiration dates.
Should I leave two of these?
Leave it if it normally
comes in singles.
Make sure to check the
serial number.
He’s such an odd guy.
I heard he even counts his rice grains.
No way.
Where there’s smoke,
there’s fire.
Audition Call for Musical ‘Classic’
Isn’t that a really famous musical?
Are you auditioning?
Not really.
I just applied for it a while back.
Better than making beds here
until you die.
No need to clean windows.
It’s the boss after all.
That stupid boss will
work us till we drop.
See you later!
I will fly away
Hold your breath
and watch me
I’ll show you my everything
The real me that was kept away
Run fast! Fly high!
I won’t stop again
I’ll show you my everything
The real me that was…
Sorry, I thought it was done.
No, sir, I haven’t wiped
the windows yet
I heard you were coming.
Sorry for the trouble.
It’s okay,
I’ll be out of your way.
Baek Lee-young?
Very even name.
Thank you.
Enjoy your stay.
Drive safe, sir.
I will.
Do you think it’s true that
Ah-young and Yoo-jun are dating?
She’s not insane!
There’s no way…
No way in hell…
Are you crying?
You’re a sharp prick.
Are you crying too, Sae-jik?
Whatever.
Hey, he’s only into swimming.
Then I call dibs on her.
I like Ah-young!
What’s up with him?
Speak up, idiot.
Come here!
Hello?
- Hae-sun! Wait, hold on.
- Jae-yong.
- Listen to me, don’t hang up.
- It’s over, don’t call me again.
I’ll pass the civil service exam,
I promise, please!
One last chance.
Remember what you said?
You said you won’t call me
if you fail again!
So why are you calling me?
Just stop it already!
Hae-sun, baby…
Why are you doing this to me?
Oh my…
Please, just once more…
No! No!
Oh no! Come here!
Quickly!
Captain, he’s here again,
the Saturday blind date man.
I heard he’s a plastic surgeon.
You’re being nosy.
Well, he’s been here over 20 times.
But he gets rejected every time.
I’m just curious.
He’s so gorgeous but
keeps getting rejected.
I guess, that’s weird.
Not sure.
That’s awkward…
I guess he’ll be back next week.
He called you by your name?
Maybe he’s got a crush on you.
Why would he fall for a girl
wiping his windows?
Why not? Everyone knows
you’re the hottest maid.
Not the second hottest?
You’re the hottest.
You’re so sensible.
Huh? My necklace.
Where did it go?
Necklace?
I saw it earlier,
very bling bling.
Where did it go?
You knocked three times,
then once.
Next time, please knock twice.
Four times is good too.
What can I do for you,
Ms. Baek Lee-young?
I’m sorry.
I know I shouldn’t be here.
But I lost something.
Must be very important.
Yes! It’s my necklace…
it’s really important…
Why don’t you come look for it?
It’s all right, sir.
My anxiety got the better of me.
I’m so sorry.
It’s him!
Careful, careful!
We need to get to the next show!
We’ll need to cut short!
Thank you!
Watch your head.
Sorry, sorry, thank you!
Careful, careful!
Thank you!
Get a new manager!
Change your agency!
Take care of him!
Get a new car!
Yeah! Get him a new car!
Please move!
Aren’t you tired?
We’re on the road constantly,
we should get a better ride.
Hang in there.
We’ll pay off the debt soon,
let’s go car shopping then.
Hey, g*ng.
Producer Na called earlier…
You know I don’t do variety shows.
I don’t want to say it again.
Okay, I’ll reject him.
Get some shut eye.
Kang Sang-gyu!
Yes?
Don’t remember me?
Bong-yup.
- Bong-yup?
- Yeah.
- Lee Bong-yup?
- Yeah.
How long has it been?
Too long.
How have you been?
I don’t go by ‘Bong-yup’ anymore.
What?
Catherine.
What?
Call me Catherine.
He’s so clean.
I hope it’s here.
Where could it be?
‘Ms. 10020,
I hope this is what
you were looking for.’
Don’t call me that.
My name, ‘Baek Lee-young.’
Oh, play on words for ‘100-2-0’?
Our boss has a sense of humor.
That’s a relief.
I know, right?
I couldn’t even sleep a wink.
Oh my.
Thank you, please let me know
if I can help you with anything - 10020
It’s locked.
Wow.
You look pretty,
are you in love?
I’ve always been pretty.
So-jin!
Been a while.
Look who it is.
You’re making me sad,
you know that?
Why is a single gal
pretending to be so busy?
How can we only meet up
once a year?
We used to play
Anyways, now that you’re here,
let me pour you some water.
Hey, go easy.
- She’ll be 40 soon.
- And you already are.
Chug it, chug it.
Wow, look at her go.
- You still got it.
- Wow.
See, she’s still got it.
You got my respect.
- Empty the glass.
- Nice.
We’re going for round 2,
you coming
What round 2?
I just got here.
I’m off after this one,
my brother’s home alone.
Then let’s go to your house.
He’s at the age
when he wants to be alone.
You’re such a good sister.
Let’s go to our regular spot,
or would you rather cut ties with us?
Cut it right off.
Good, cut him out
and go with me.
You’ve been cut for a while.
Yes.
So-jin, I have something to tell you.
All right, fine,
I’ll come.
Wow.
Tripping is ingrained
in your DNA.
- Hey.
- Cheers!
It’s been so long.
It’s still here.
Heater…
So-jin.
Yeah?
Come sit here.
Why? What is it?
So-jin.
I’m…
getting married.
What? Married?
Why are you getting married?
With who?
She’s a pianist.
Wedding is at your hotel on the 31st.
We haven’t dated that too long.
It’s at my hotel and
you never told me?
He wants you to sing there.
Sing? Screw you.
So-jin, do me this favor.
You have to be very cautious.
They said to go around
even a familiar road
Why would you go around?
The road, well, it’s a winding road!
Whoosh! It’s curved like that.
Look, she’s tying her hair.
Damn, we’re in for it now.
We’re out of booze.
You should stop,
you’re drunk.
It’s all right,
there’s nothing else to drink.
Of course there is.
Oh my!
You up?
You’re in better shape
than I thought.
You thought wrong,
everything is spinning.
We barely stopped you from
drinking the snake juice last night.
What are you going to do?
I have to leave for
a morning live show.
Who cares, you won’t
drive me anyways.
I’ll at least walk you out.
Is it for real?
Huh, what is?
You getting married.
I wouldn’t joke about such a thing.
We’ve always been like that.
Always joking, kidding around.
True.
We tried hard not to cross the line.
There were always girls
who wanted to cross that line.
Who?
Guest vocalist Yoo-sun,
bassist Young-mi,
and Jin-gyung.
Hey, they all quit the band!
They gave up when you didn’t
give them any mind.
Do you know how annoying that is?
They confessed their feelings
for you to me.
What can I do?
I’ll come see you at the hotel.
I got a few things to discuss too.
See you.
assh*le.
Sir, could you turn off the radio?
So-jin?
You’re up early.
I was heading out to work.
In the same clothes from yesterday?
Tell me if you’re
pulling an overnighter.
Going to practice?
Honey ran out,
so I made you some sugar tea.
I wanted to be the pretty seahorse.
But she stole my role.
She’s a thieving bitch.
That thief will steal it,
hide it.
Mom.
You know, I lost this necklace
but my boss found it for me.
He has something else to steal.
No, it’s not like that.
There are good people
in the world too.
That punk, he’s trying to steal
such a beautiful girl.
Mom, can you call me Lee-young?
Lee-young?
My daughter’s Lee-young too.
I am your daughter.
Actor, Kwon Sang-woo,
that’s Kwon Sang-woo.
Hello, Mr. Kwon Sang-woo,
thank you for coming.
Ah, yes.
- My apologies, I made a mistake.
- Okay.
- Sorry.
- Okay.
Bring some complimentary dishes.
You’re Kwon Sang-woo?
Enjoy your meal.
You’re a better businessman
than I thought.
It’s looking good now.
Speaking of which,
now is the perfect time.
You’ll maximize the profit if you
sell it while the business is good.
Let’s give our shareholders
a nice gift at the board meeting.
When we merge with East Chain,
the stock will soar,
everyone will make a mint.
The sale will help
your next business too.
It’s not all about money,
I want to use my degree…
Yeah, I know.
Your father wanted to let you
start an art business,
and hire a businessman
to run the hotel.
I have a lot of respect for him.
I don’t remember him
ever loving me,
so I have no respect for him.
You didn’t know him.
His most prized treasure
was a drawing you gave him
that he kept in his safe.
I’m a civil servant!
Greatest Quotes
To die proudly when it is
no longer possible to live proudly.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Pharmacy
Ouch!
If you…
take a lot of sleeping pills,
I do mean a lot,
are there any side effects?
Could someone die?
Can’t die from taking a lot.
But it’ll result in sleep disorders,
increased intraocular pressure,
difficulty urinating, glossitis,
and damage stomach
and other organs,
and live rest of your life
in a vegetative state.
I see.
Thank you!
Which pesticide would you like?
Well…
For su1c1de?
Nowadays, you can’t overdose
on pesticides.
You’ll just throw up everything
until you throw up your organs.
But you still won’t die.
Who said I was going to eat it?
Then I suggest…
taking rat poison.
Why is it so hard to die, dammit!
sh*t, I almost d*ed…
Doctors like him are hard to find.
It’s not that.
I’m looking for someone who is
family-oriented and can cook.
What if he cooks well
but chews like a cow?
Don’t get me started.
Even if it was Gordon Ramsay,
I hate men who chew like a cow.
I overheard in the washroom.
Give him this.
How to win over women.
Here…
our captain wrote these tips for you.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Evening.
Ms. Eun-su.
Did you wait long?
Yes.
Hey, So-jin.
Yeah, Seung-hyo.
When are you free this week?
This week?
We should grab a bite
with my fiancée.
Well, I’m pretty busy.
Since you’re busy,
tell me when you’re free, got it?
Okay.
Let’s meet up.
Christ…
I really wanted to meet you.
He talked a lot about you.
Nice to meet you too, Young-joo.
I guess Australians greet differently.
You’re having
an international marriage.
- Shall we order first?
- Sure.
Excuse me.
You know what I want.
- Lasagna.
- Lasagna.
One lasagna and…
truffle oil pasta for me.
And for my darling,
- truffle creamy mushroom risotto.
- Truffle creamy mushroom risotto.
That’ll be all.
Thank you.
Didn’t you hate
the gasoline smell of truffle?
It turned into an acquired taste.
You wouldn’t even
sit beside me when I ate it.
You used to hate it?
I didn’t know.
At this rate, you’ll eat
engine oil risotto too.
Sorry, I need to take this call.
Okay.
Yes, of course.
To be honest, she’s been
acting cold lately.
She’s suddenly sensitive
and has tantrums.
I have no clue why.
Pre-wedding jitters?
Huh?
Brides get depressed
and anxious just before wedding.
Is that serious?
I haven’t experienced it myself,
but that’s my guess.
Could you do me a favor
and meet with her alone?
Me?
Yes.
Why should I?
Sorry.
No thanks.
Staycation my ass.
Got money to burn?
I don’t deserve this,
I really don’t.
I can’t die living in the gutter.
I’ll at least die luxuriously.
Hotel.
Let’s go to a hotel.
I’ll stay at a hotel
and jump off the ledge!
Okay!
Ma’am! I’m moving out.
No, moving out for good.
- Don’t ever call...
- Hello?
Hello, madam.
Yeah, what?
How are you?
Something came up
and I need to move out.
Thank you so much.
- Thank you for everything.
- A lot of people are interested.
Do I have any
deposit remaining?
Not sure.
Look over here.
This way please!
Please wait at the front desk!
Can I help you check in?
I made a reservation,
Kang Jae-yong.
- Here you are.
- Thank you.
Ah, wait.
Sorry, but can I get a higher floor?
As high as possible.
Pardon?
It’s… a view thing.
Is this free?
Hello, wake-up call service.
What time should I wake you?
Hello… 9:30 please.
Right, 9:30 in the morning?
Yes…
- One second…
- Yes?
What happens if you call me,
and I don’t wake up
or pick up the phone?
Then we will knock on your door.
What if I still don’t wake up?
Sorry?
Sorry, it’s my first time
at a hotel.
It’s all right, sir.
Then I’ll wake you up
tomorrow morning at 9:30.
Have a nice day.
Yes, thank you.
Please wake me up.
On the last day of the year.
I will end my life at this hotel.
I’ve never had any luck.
I’m tired of being a failure
and getting rejected.
I’m a worthless human being.
I am a useless piece of flesh,
who’s done nothing good
for this world.
Goddammit!
This bed is really nice.
This is your wake-up call,
good morning.
Hel… hello,
yes, good morning.
It’s 9:30, are you awake?
Good morning.
Yes, good morning.
Let me give you a riddle
to prevent your brain from dying.
I’m dying?
Sorry about that.
So that your brain cells
stay awake.
Yes, sure.
What do you call a fish
wearing a bowtie?
Call me with the answer
by tomorrow morning.
Thank you and have a nice day.
You’re saying he came here
to commit su1c1de?
Guest services informed me that
the guest in 1739
made some odd inquiries.
What’s his itinerary?
He’s checking out on January 1st.
Then he might really do it
on the last day of the year.
Could he be…
a consumer from hell?
Don’t we just need to
make him leave?
Let him die elsewhere.
Do you have any plans
to kick him out?
We can pay him
to walk out of here.
Can you use your
own money to do that?
You don’t know what they’re like.
I believe that
we have the responsibility
to provide the best service
to all our guests.
Let’s try our best to stop him.
Captain Park, can you retrace
his movements until now?
Yes, sir.
Ms. Baek Lee-young.
You did a good job.
Please tell the guest services
to keep an eye on him.
He’s a good swimmer.
Please keep me posted
on his whereabouts.
Will do.
I made up my mind.
I’m gonna confess
my feelings to Ah-young.
It’s Christmas eve.
It’s the perfect backdrop,
bang, bang!
It’ll be a Christmas nightmare to her.
You like her too, right?
As a friend,
I don’t want to see you get hurt.
Yeah?
Then confess your love too.
We can both get rejected.
Then we can get over her together.
Should we?
I’m in too.
What the hell?
You were into her too?
I just think it’ll be fun.
I’ll do it if you do it.
Morons.
You coming too?
Why should I?
Score.
When did we come here last?
It’s still the same.
Don’t men have a special spot
for their first love in their heart?
Where is my spot?
My daughter is getting married
at your hotel soon.
Congrats.
Her name is Young-joo.
Young-joo.
That’s a pretty name.
Do you know
whose daughter she is?
Kang Sang-gyu – 21
Arrested
I’m getting married soon.
I have to get married.
My parents are forcing me
and I can’t keep dragging it out.
Congratulations…
on your marriage.
When you get out,
marry someone too.
And live a happy life.
But when both of us
become single again…
let’s get married.
Don’t joke around.
I’m not.
We’ll meet again someday.
Be well till then.
She’s my daughter, of course.
Indeed.
So silly!
Catch me,
catch me if you can!
You’re so dead if I get you!
You caught me.
Why are you letting me?
k*ll me.
Why would I k*ll someone so old?
I’m old?
Hey! Wait right there!
You shouldn’t have caught me!
Fancy goldfish.
Wrong.
Fish with a bowtie is called
‘sofishticated’!
Ah!
Right!
Since you got it wrong,
you’re waking up
on your own tomorrow.
Okay, sorry.
You’re so gullible.
Should I wake you up at
Yes, you remembered.
Of course, I got
super high EQ and IQ.
- I’ll wake you up at 9:30.
- Wait, wait, please.
Can we talk a bit more?
Pardon? Why?
You have a really nice voice.
Do you believe that those with
nice voices are all beautiful?
No, no, no, of course not!
It’s all right,
I’m also a stunner.
Have a nice day,
Merry Christmas!
You’re the winner of
our Surprise Christmas contest.
I never signed up for such a thing.
All guests are automatically entered.
What did I win?
What’s going on…
You’re the most
precious thing in this world
You cannot be replaced
by anything else
Your bright smile
makes me so happy!
Yay!
Thank you.
Lee g*ng’s concert tickets held
at our hotel on Christmas eve,
as well as a voucher for a free stay
and buffet at our hotel next year.
Next year?
Next year!
That’s right!
Sir.
Have a wonderful year.
Today is Christmas eve.
I hope you have a gleeful
and unforgettable Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Hey, hey, how did it go?
Don’t cry!
It’s okay.
Why is he bowing?
He’s smiling.
I’m done.
Are you here to confess too?
To be honest,
I don’t really like you.
I don’t like you either.
Yeah?
I’m glad.
I was worried that
you might be into me.
That’s good.
Good job!
Comrades!
Let’s go!
- We did it for fun, right?
- Yeah.
Aren’t you here to confess too?
No, I just followed them here.
They’re a bit weird, but…
they’re just weird.
No, they gave me a fun memory.
That’s good.
Park Sae-jik!
Merry Christmas.
You too, Merry Christmas.
- “Merry Christmas”?
- What the hell!
I don’t know if I can
talk to you like this.
Seung-hyo…
Never mind, forget it.
What is it?
You’re making me more curious.
I’m a bit embarrassed
to tell you this.
Well…
he hasn’t proposed to me yet.
What?
You know how shy he is.
I thought he’d propose
if I mentioned marriage first.
I’m so easy, right?
No way, not at all.
I totally get it.
How’s this since he likes pasta.
As a pasta bowl.
He’d like…
this one way more.
Wow.
Sweetie!
You chose something I really like.
How did you know we were here?
I’ll be out of your hair then.
Honey, give me a second.
Sure.
Hey!
You can’t just leave like that.
Have you had a chat with her?
You were gonna have a wedding
without a proposal?
Proposal?
She did it already.
That’s not a proposal.
It means ‘propose to me’.
Ah!
What should I do then?
That’s up to you.
You look like newlyweds.
Can I recommend something
that will look good for you?
Newlyweds are these two.
I’m so sorry!
Come on…
Oh!
Wait right there.
Do you need help?
Just a bit more!
It’s higher than I thought.
You’re right.
How’s this?
Almost there!
A bit more!
So close!
- That’s it!
- Nice!
Here.
Thank you.
- Bye bye.
- Bye
Thank you.
It’s Christmas eve,
do you have any plans?
I’m going to the church in a bit.
What about you?
Yeah? I was thinking of
going to one too.
Mr. Kim.
What brings you here?
It’s my duty to be here.
Here, congrats.
Thank you.
Aren’t you busy nowadays?
Yes, a bit.
I heard you got an offer from KM.
I’m not interested in KM.
Hello.
Way too flashy.
You know how much I like you.
I’ve always wanted to
work with you for a long time.
Big fish…
needs to swim in a big ocean.
You’re the big fish,
Mist is the big ocean.
Have you seen JB’s face?
He lives off his face
and it’s all scratched up!
What will you do?
It’s not like that, sir.
He overreacted and
got g*ng injured.
First time doing a variety show?
Minor accidents can happen!
Profit losses due to cancelled
schedules this week
can’t compare to the little injury
that fake singer is enduring!
Watch your language.
You can insult me all you want,
but not him!
What?
Do you feel like a gangster?
Don’t use ‘g*ng’ that way!
I’ll g*ng up on him!
Do you know what nickname
g*ng hates the most?
It’s ‘gangster’.
You must be tired,
I’ll make it short.
Don’t make me wait too long.
g*ng.
Don’t you remember him?
I’m sure he takes care of his family.
What are you saying?
Speak your mind.
What’s with the outfit?
Are you the singer?
I can’t dress shabbily
with so many visitors today.
Why don’t you sing on the stage?
Jae-suk gave me this
as a gift.
Aren’t you Kang Jae-yong?
What? Yeah, that’s me.
See the you inside me
When you’re tired,
listen to your heart
I’ll wake you up
I don’t care what people say,
I only have you
The sound inside me,
my melody
Listen, listen, listen
Block images of you,
and thoughts of you
Don’t worry, let it go
Good bye, good bye, good bye!
Aren’t you Kang Jae-yong?
Please leave Hae-sun alone.
I just…
If you show up again,
I’ll make you regret it.
… let it go
Good bye, good bye, good bye
When you feel alone,
look in the mirror
Feel the real you!
Can’t see the road
Where could it be?
Follow your dreams further and further
Further and further
Oh, come, all ye faithful,
joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye to Bethlehem
Let us pray.
As the saint became a human
through the angel’s knowledge,
I pray for grace leading to the glory
of resurrection through
the saint and the cross.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Let’s share our peace greetings.
Peace be with you.
Peace be with you.
Peace be with you.
Peace be with you.
When did you last come to church?
It’s been a while.
I never liked going alone.
How was it today?
Sitting and standing,
standing and sitting.
It was hard.
Yeah.
The pew was cramped, cold,
hard and uncomfortable.
Totally different from our hotel.
You’re right.
But it was nice to sing
the hymn 102 with you.
Good thing it was an even number.
Sorry.
It’s okay.
Do you have any traumas?
I don’t have any.
You’ll return to the stage one day?
I do have an audition soon
but I’m nervous.
You’ll do well, don’t give up.
Thank you.
I promise to come watch
when you’re on the stage.
You can drop me off here.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Oh darling, are you leaving?
Early morning starlight falls
on white snow
Are you leaving behind
your footprints?
Myeongdong street
on a Christmas night
Numerous couples,
who are they trying to annoy?
Memories suddenly begin to dance
I want to see you,
my beautiful dear
Come back to my palace
My ship that leaves
when the winds blow
Memories suddenly begin to dance
My reflection on show window
It’s sub-human, unbelievable
I just stare into full moon
up on the night sky
Merry Christmas, sis!
Don’t drink too much
and come home soon.
Let’s be happy!
Huh?
Hey!
Hey, wake up!
Excuse me! Hey!
Dammit…
Are you alright?
Sae-jik!
Hey, Sae-jik! Park Sae-jik!
Are you okay?
What happened?
I’m all right.
He…
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
My brother would have d*ed
if it wasn’t for you.
You’re a lifesaver.
I’m glad I found him early.
Stop crying…
Can I give you a riddle?
Absolutely!
Where do ghosts go to sail?
Where do ghosts go…
I think I get this.
Does it start with ‘Lake’?
Yes.
Lake Boo!
No, the answer is Lake
Eerie.
- Lake Eerie.
-Yup.
Can you tell me your name?
I’m Kang Jae-yong.
I’m sorry, but my name is
Wake-Up Call 6.
I’m not human, I’m an AI.
Right, I see.
Sorry, but you’ve been fooled.
I am human.
Come on!
As per our regulations,
call me Wake-Up Service.
Jeez.
Do you get a lot of
rude patrons?
Yes, I do.
A guest requested
a 6:30 call yesterday,
nd when I called him,
he lashed out.
So, I didn’t call him this morning
and he bitched…
I hope those people
would stop coming.
I think I’d be good at this job.
Male wake-up service
sounds good.
You’re kind and have a nice voice.
Maybe in my next life.
So sad.
The songs are getting more mature.
It’s good.
He went through a lot.
His parents kicked him out for
dropping out of med school to sing,
band got disbanded,
got into an accident
after debuting solo.
You’re crying again.
This song is really good.
Renew his contract already.
So many agencies are after him.
I don’t know.
It feels like I’m keeping him
in a small pond.
What are you talking about?
He only got this far
because of you.
You sold your house
and worked as a driver for him.
I have to go somewhere,
could you come with me?
Why not?
I come here every year on this day.
I used to come with my wife
until 4 years ago.
I proposed to her here.
Even after a big argument,
we’d come here and
everything would be okay.
She said to me once,
she wanted to marry me again
in the next life.
I said I’d like that too.
Why didn’t you tell me sooner?
I understand what you’re saying,
I need some time to think.
You are assigned to
lower floors from tomorrow.
Someone else will clean
CEO’s suite.
Ms. Baek Lee-young.
You came to work today?
Don’t you have an audition?
Well…
Let’s go, you still have time.
Please let me go.
No, I won’t.
Wait a minute! Wait!
I can’t audition in this.
Looks like you’re ready.
She’s taking rest of the day off!
I can’t wait any longer
I’ve desperately waited
for this moment
Shake off the fear
and I will go my way
Deep and dark past days
Even the high wall
that blocked me
Don’t scare me anymore
I will fly away
Hold your breath and look at me
I’ll show you my everything
The real me that was kept away
Run fast! Fly high!
I won’t stop again
Ms. Baek Lee-young!
You were like a different person.
I’m sure there’ll be good news.
No, sir.
You’ve never seen an audition.
I’ve done it hundreds of times.
I know it right away
when I don’t get the part.
I just did my best.
Anyways, thank you
for bringing me here.
But boss…
don’t worry about me anymore.
Ms. Baek.
Please!
Stay there.
Boss…
I’m a contract worker.
I can get fired for leaving my post.
Remember you asked me
if I had any traumas?
People like me can’t have traumas.
Because…
we cannot afford to.
Even or odd,
I can’t just change it.
I just accept it and live with it.
Do you think she’ll like it?
It’s beautiful.
She’s here.
Looks so good.
Have a bite.
Sure.
Types of Proposals Women Hate

Could be worst day
To Ruin Your Proposal Part 2.
Public Proposal Adds Pressure
Seung-hyo
Hello?
What…
is this?
I love you so much
You’re my everything
I promise to always love you
I love you so much
Always stay with me
I’ll always be a light
by your side
What’s wrong?
Don’t you like it?
Thank you, sweetie.
Is this why you’ve been
so down lately?
Yeah.
You’ve ruined my first kiss.
I can’t wash the feeling away.
So wet and sticky.
You know how grateful I am.
Also…
when you find a girl you like,
don’t hesitate, otherwise…
Have you heard of slow mail?
It’s this mail box.
It’s an ordinary mail box
here in Jumunjin.
But when you send a letter…
it will be delivered a year later.
Hey, was there any mail for me?
Like a postcard!
I put it on your table.
It’s really here, no way!
Don’t look, go away.
What did you write?
Let’s me peek.
Then show me yours.
Not gonna show you,
check it next year.
- Show me!
- No!
My dear friend, So-jin
When you receive this postcard,
you wouldn’t be single, right?
I hope you’re in
a beautiful relationship!
With someone amazing.
I’ll always cheer you on!
- Seung-hyo
You have to save me!
You keep asking me
to save someone.
Who’s going to save me?
Please?
You want me to steal
your postcard?
It’s not stealing,
more like recovering.
Please.
Merger Review
They’re not honoring
current employees’ promotions.
Shouldn’t you let them handle it?
Termination or re-training…
It’s better to raise the price and
let them deal with minor issues.
Replace them with better candidates
Please renegotiate
so that no one gets laid off.
Hey man.
I called for you
but you didn’t answer.
Did you?
I didn’t hear you.
Is that a contract from Mist?
Are you spying on me?
I just noticed it, sorry.
Let me ask you a question.
What’s a good profit split
with the management?
I’m just asking for your opinion.
Don’t ever yield,
give them 5%.
Isn’t that too little?
Tell them to forget it
if they don’t like it.
Get them to buy you a new ride.
Can I do that?
Of course you can.
You’re not the same
Lee g*ng as before.
Play hardball!
Thanks dude.
You can’t look at this!
Okay.
- Don’t look.
- I won’t.
Who’s the hottest singer this year?
Of course, it’s Lee g*ng.
He’s topped the music charts
with every new release
since ‘Every Couple’ last August.
There are rumors that he’ll be
joining Mist Entertainment.
Let’s listen to ‘I Shouldn’t Call’
What is it?
that’s topping the charts.
Got something to say?
Did you send him this contract?
Yes, I did, so?
Shouldn’t you have given it to me
since I’m his manager?
He wanted it, go ask him.
g*ng…
hates variety shows.
So don’t book him
too many of those.
And g*ng…
gets pissy when he’s writing.
His songs have their own color,
so don’t force him to write them.
And g*ng…
looks like a city boy
but has tastebuds of a kid.
If you tell him that it’s good for him…
he’ll refuse once,
but he’ll eat it if you’re persistent.
Please take good care of him.
Did you even love me?
You’ll completely erase
all our memories?
I must not be in your heart anymore
Please look at me
Please look back at me
What happened?
Did you retrieve it?
‘I wonder where we would be
when you read this.
Sae-jik!
Did I confess to you?
If I haven’t done so and
just burning a hole in my heart…
I told you to rip it up right away!
You’re tearing up my heart!
You’re so dead!
So-jin.
What?
You’ll meet someone better.
Love you.
What the heck?
Dang it…
Hello.
Hello!
Can I help you with that?
No, it’s all right.
Here, let me try.
It’s not Saturday…
Sorry, it’s just that I see you often…
I don’t know what
I’m doing every week.
Thank you so much.
A year went by so fast.
Take care.
Attention! Salute!
Loyalty!
At ease.
What are you doing?
Sae-jik!
You’re our only hope,
we’re going to root for you!
Didn’t you always?
Not swimming!
Ah-young!
Be totally honest.
About what?
I never lie.
You like Ah-young.
What?
We already know!
So what?
What do you have to do with it?
We can’t stand her
dating some loser.
She’s interested in you,
but since you don’t show it…
She’s getting tired of waiting.
So what then?
So we told her on your behalf.
Told her what?
We told her that you
wanted to meet with her.
What?!
We hinted to her that you might…
Confess your love on
the cloud bridge after school.
Yes!
I’m done with you all!
What should we tell her then?
That you changed your mind?
I went back to that lake.
I had a long chat with your wife.
And she told me,
that she knew a lot about me…
and she couldn’t leave you
because you’re such a kid.
So I proposed something to her.
That I’ll raise you until the end,
and turn you into an adult.
And that I’ll send you back
to her in the next life.
Then she answered.
- She did?
- Yes.
Snow.
Snowing on the last day will mean
that she has accepted my proposal.
Look at this!
Your smile brings back your old self.
Okay.
If it doesn’t snow,
then I’ll shut up
and leave you alone.
Agree?
Agreed.
Why did you send
Ms. Baek to another floor?
There are malignant rumors
about you, boss.
Me?
Someone witnessed her
riding in your vehicle.
Can’t I not give
an employee a lift?
Even if you offered,
she should have refused.
I hear there is
a gold digger among us.
Everyone says it’s you.
Where there’s smoke,
there’s fire.
Some people are
calling you immoral.
I’m immoral?
Yes, I’m not only telling you as
a VP but also as your relative.
Be careful.
What if this puts the merger
with East Chain at risk?
- Is that her?
- Oh my…
Can’t trust her looks.
If you have something to say!
Stop whispering
and say it to my face!
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
It’s December 31st,
last day of the year.
How was this year for you?
It was filled with bittersweet moments,
Seung-hyo’s wedding
and plenty of regrets,
but on the other hand,
it was a year that allowed you
to become stronger.
You lacked courage
to confess your love,
you were mean to others
in the heat of competition,
you were burdened with
responsibilities for your family,
but pat yourself in the back,
and tell yourself
‘you did well today.’
I hope you are happier
in the new year.
Let me introduce myself properly,
I’m Lee Jin-ho.
Dear Dad
Merry Christmas
I want to be an awesome
hotelier like you.
Oh man.
Excuse me!
Could you help me?
No, push it,
wait, pull it!
I’m so sorry!
Thank you
You are a hero
Thank you for saving
my precious brother.
You’re our hero – Park So-jin
He’s here, Sae-jik is here.
I might fall for him.
- Did he confess?
- I’m not sure.
Sir.
It’s time to leave, sir.
Has East Chain accepted our request
regarding the employees?
I asked them to keep
even the contract workers…
but nothing yet.
Can you give this to
the wake-up service agent?
She’ll know if you tell her it’s from
room 1739’s Kang Jae-yong.
Nice to see you.
It’s been a while.
Hello.
Our next CEO.
Not yet!
Hello.
We’ll soon begin
the shareholders’ meeting,
please take your seats.
Dude.
Huh?
Yeah…
I think you should stop
driving this car from today.
Oh…
Okay.
Sure.
Where are you going?
I’m going home.
What about me then?
Mist got you a new car?
What Mist?
Have a seat.
I signed it already,
have a read and sign it.
You…
didn’t sign with Mist?
Are you nuts?
Why would I work with
a prick like Kim?
He has no interest in music,
and only cares about money.
Don’t you remember how much
he looked down on me?
Profit losses can’t compare
to the little injury
that fake singer is enduring!
You can insult me all you want,
but not him!
Do you feel like a gangster?
Please don’t call him
I still can’t forget how he
insulted me while I was down.
A simple apology could have
gone a long way.
Why didn’t you tell me?
I knew you couldn’t hide it,
that snake Kim would have clued in.
Now it’s all up to you,
or I’ll get buried.
If you get buried,
I’ll dig you back up.
Don’t be gross,
no touching!
We’ll be late, let’s go!
Okay.
You said 5% is good, right?
That was with… Mist…
You told me to play hardball.
Okay!
As long as I’m with you.
I increased it a bit.
Please welcome the bride!
You have to walk me
when I get married.
No doubt.
Someone was clenching
onto you before.
I don’t see her anymore,
so I guess she let you go.
Now that you met someone nice,
she must be in a better place.
Groom, Son Seung-hyo
and bride, Kim Young-joo
are here today to
exchange their vows,
and to promise
and respect each other
no matter what difficult
situations may rise,
and to get through together
with love and knowledge.
You are here to witness
their covenant to
establish the marriage.
Do you, Son Seung-hyo, and
Kim Young-joo, take to be
lawful couple to have and to hold,
from this day forward,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and in health,
until death do you part?
- I do!
- I do!
The two have united
as husband and wife
in front of their families and friends,
and promise to cherish each other
until death do them part.
I don’t know since when,
but I’ve kept you in my heart
Good bye other loves
I will only love you
from today
When you came to me,
I was awkward
about my own feelings,
and if I revealed my feelings,
I was afraid you might run away
Can you accept my love?
If you don’t like me,
I may be hurt
But should I still confess to you?
I don’t know since when,
you creeped into my heart
But there’s another farewell.
Winter Break
That is all!
Go on, what did you
want to tell me?
I was warming up at the pool
when these guys came by.
- They saluted me.
- That idiot.
So what did you want to tell me?
I like you.
Like who?
Lim Ah-young.
I barely heard you.
I like you, Lim Ah-young!
Go out with me!
- Yes!
- Yeah!
Status check on the 1739 guest.
All good, we’re cleaning his room.
He’s currently out for a bit.
Check if he left a su1c1de note.
We just have to get through today,
so stay on your toes.
Check the trash bin.
Trash bin is clear.
Okay, I think our plan worked.
Yes, winning the Christmas contest,
and having him save
someone at the pool did it.
Good job, everyone.
Don’t let your guard down
until he checks out.
Security office.
What?
Okay, understood.
I’ll let her know right away.
Yes, got it!
Please give a big round of applause
to the newlyweds when they bow!
Bride and groom! Bow!
No wonder good things
kept happening to me!
This is from the guest
in room 1739.
There’s a card too.
Send the security to the rooftop
before anything bad happens.
He took the elevator 5 and headed
to the rooftop from the 25th floor.
Dammit…
Hello?
Hello, do you remember
my voice?
Yes…
You’re the wake-up call.
Yes, I got your gift.
I called to thank you for it.
I just passed on a gift I received.
No need to thank me.
But I’ve never received such a gift.
Well, you woke me up every day.
That’s just my job though.
- Oh my!
- Don’t come close!
Don’t come any closer!
Leave me alone…
I have to hang up now.
You don’t have to
wake me up anymore.
Wait, wait a sec!
Can you talk to me for a bit?
No, thank you.
I have nothing else to say.
When I check out tomorrow,
I have nothing and nowhere to go.
This is where my life ends.
Could you listen to me
for a moment?
I listened to you,
will you do the same for me?
Whenever you called,
I wondered who you were.
To be honest,
I was going to jump off
the ledge today too.
Repetitive work and
no one to comfort me.
Next year would be the same,
and I thought I’d rather
not see 2022.
Then I ran into someone
who thought like me.
I was really happy
on the phone with you.
I was thankful for the gift
and it made my day.
So, I thought that I would
do anything to help him.
Today,
I will jump off with you.
What?
I’ll hold your hand
on the way to hell.
I’ll jump off with you
we can go together.
Wait! Hold on!
Don’t do it, please don’t jump.
Why not?
What if people sleep in
because you can’t call them?
That’s fine.
The person I wanted to wake up
said he didn’t need me.
Let’s go.
Wait.
Just wake me up tomorrow at 9:30.
Why the change of heart?
I just want to hear
the wake-up call.
Thank you.
No, I’m the one thankful.
My legs are shaking.
Mine too.
Wait, wait.
Careful, careful.
I almost really d*ed.
I was worried you might really
want to jump off with me.
I’m afraid of heights.
Same here!
Next up is the opening speech
from CEO of Hotel Emross.
Hello, I’m the CEO
of Hotel Emross, Kim Yong-jin.
My boiler at home burst recently.
I had to stay at our hotel suite
with employee discount,
and had to stay a month
Living in the hotel,
I started seeing things differently.
And I started feeling something
that I’ve never felt towards
this hotel before.
And I found something my father
had put away in the safe.
Apparently, my childhood dream
was to become a hotelier.
This is the way I want to
follow my dream
alongside all employees
at Hotel Emross.
I will protect Hotel Emross,
and protect employees
who protect Hotel Emross.
I will nullify the merger with East Chain.
You’ll go down for this!
Hotel Emross!
Doesn’t only belong to you and I.
It belongs to all our employee
and our guests.
Thank you.
Hey! Kim Yong-jin!
Odd Floors Only
Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
Is that the CEO?
He’s gorgeous.
Hello.
Hello.
I came back to celebrate
the New Year with you.
Can we talk outside
for a moment?
People are calling me gold digger.
They’re calling me immoral.
Gold digger and immoral
aren’t a bad combo.
You’re right.
It’s a fantastic combo.
Even.
So-jin!
Why are you here?
The bride didn’t run off, did she?
No, I was worried about you.
Young-joo was worried
and told me to check up on you.
Why?
You just ran off.
Did you think I would jump?
No… I was just worried.
- Seung-hyo.
- So-jin.
You first.
No, you first.
I’ll be honest with you
while we’re in the elevator.
Only until the elevator stops.
Okay.
I used to like you.
I was going to tell you
many times…
I must have overthought it.
‘Why should I be the one
to tell him?’
‘Wouldn’t he tell me first one day?’
These thoughts made me
lose courage.
But now I get it.
I was selfish and dishonest.
I was also selfish and dishonest.
But I don’t think we were unfortunate
because we didn’t express our feelings.
I was happy to be by your side
for 15 years as your friend.
So-jin.
I want you to congratulate me.
Will you?
Congrats on getting married.
It’s the truth.
You’ll be happy.
Thanks.
You’ll be happy too.
So-jin, you’re still alive.
Did you run off because
you got jealous?
So-jin, doesn’t it feel like
our son is getting married?
Let’s follow them
on their honeymoon.
Let’s see how their first night goes.
Aren’t you Sae-jik?
What are you doing?
Sae-jik!
I didn’t see that, all right?
Okay.
One man…
- to another.
- To another.
I was overjoyed
to chit chat with you
on the phone
about this and that
every day
Talking about
where to eat,
which movies to watch,
and we just might
date like everyone else
I dared to confess
I was mistaken
It was a crush
I’m sure it was love
by the way you looked at me
I was just a friend
A word I despise
Just a really good guy friend
Friendzoned,
nothing more
Sorry, sorry.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Let me introduce myself properly,
I’m Lee Jin-ho.
Do you know why I had
so many blind dates here?
So-jin.
Will you go on a blind date with me?
DIRECTED BY
KWAK JAE YONG
I love you, mom.
I’ll be here a bit more.
Enjoy your honeymoon.
Okay.
How can you say
‘I love you’ all day?
You said it over 30 times today!
Is it a new trauma?
Or do you have dementia?
Yes, I have dementia!
My cognitive function
for love is broken.
You’re the only one
who can fix it, only you!
How about a kiss here?
It’s not in the script.
Hello! Good morning,
wake-up service.
How was your sleep?
Yes, it was great.
I feel really great.
You don’t sound it.
You fell asleep on the desk again,
didn’t you?
You promised me
not to do that again…
No, I keep my promises.
You’re wiping your drool.
And a Post-it is
still on your left cheek.
Not there.
Over your left shoulder.
What do you see?
I see a very beautiful morning.
So-jin, I got an offer
from a famous hospital.
And?
We were in the elevator
heading to the basement.
Do you know what I did?
I refused the offer.
Because it was a base-pay-ment.
Now I get it.
I knew you’d get my jokes.
No, I see why you’ve been
rejected over and over again.
