01x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

She sheds a lot of tears.

She’s probably crying right now.

EPISODE 1

I know her the best.
We’ve known each other for a long time.

Thirty years together and we never once
fought. Not even one curse word.

It seems like you two were best friends.

We couldn’t live without each other.
We’d laugh over nothing.

I don’t know what was so funny...

That b*tch.

Are you out of your mind?

Hey, are you out of your mind?
She’s my daughter’s friend.

She’s like a daughter to me too.
How dare you!

Who is she? Does she know Yeon-hee?

Ham...

There’s nobody to trust in this world.
f*cking b*stards...

f*ck!

I hope you all
get f*cked up and go to hell!

Hey... Um...

What are you doing at a place like--

How dare you have an affair
in a place like this?

-What?
-How dare you have a love affair.

What? I didn't!

What are you talking about?

I have no idea.

Him and her!

They're having an affair.

What the hell are you rambling about?

Hey!

Darling, my a*s.

You’re not f*cking human.

I can’t believe you two.

How can you do something like that?

FUNERAL DIRECTOR - BAEK DONG-JOO

Slap on the face isn’t enough.

I feel bad for my mom, my sister,
and the rest of my family.

It's still better than doing nothing.

Thank you.

I never thought
I'd be blessed with friendly people.

I feel bad for Yeon-hee.

Cheer up, Yeon-hee.

You can't give up, okay?

That's right.
I'm never giving up on you, honey.

You're my savior.

And I met my savior after I died.

Thank you for touching my heart.

And thank you for listening to me.

I think I can
finally close my eyes in peace.

Lilacs should be blooming.

Do know how special that is?

The summer that starts with Lilac’s scent
is really precious, you know?

Yeon-hee.

Yeon-hee.

When will you get used to this?

I’ve never seen anyone slap
a bereaved family member’s face.

I can't believe you had those pictures.

His in-laws own
a famous galbee restaurant.

Only in Gangnam. They have branches
in Sinsa, Dogok, Apgujeong, and Nonhyeon.

Just the parking lot is 3,558 square feet.
The son-in-law is managing them all!

And why do you care
whether he took over all that?

Right, it’s none of my business.

Or not.

What?

Who are we?

Our job is to send our clients in peace.

You might be doing a good job
fighting for a rightful cause.

Her rage will disappear on her way.

We have sent one more away.

It’s interesting to hear
someone’s last words, you know?

I don’t find any other job
to be as prideful as this one.

My heart is fluttering with joy.

Do you think I thought that? No.
There are so many crazy b*stards.

Crazy b*stards.
Let’s take another deep breath.

I should’ve gotten a talent
for ping-pong, or just a better brain.

Why keep bothering me?

Let's meet exactly 15 more times.

It should end at least in Fall.

We should visit Naesosa temple together
to see the Fall leaves.

Buseogsa is another option.

With you, Father?

-Is there a problem?
-No. Not at all.

I'm actually excited for the day to come.

I have no money or luck. There’s no way
of saving my pathetic life, so I’ll try.

Father, you know my dream, right?

It's to be a public official.

After this ends,
you have to let me be one.

That's out of God's hands.

Passing the civil service exam is on you.

Here. I’m always cheering you on.

Drink up and go study.

The sun's up. It's 7:00 a.m.

What's better than day drinking?

Nothing makes a person
more happier than this.

Hey, kid! No!

Hey! Do you want to get yourself k*lled?

I'm so sorry!

That must've been surprising! Sorry!

Are you okay?

Are you okay?
Why were you in such a hurry?

Han Sung-ah!

Goodness. I can't believe you!

Thank you so much. Are you okay?

Yes, I'm totally fine.

He looks okay,
but he's probably really shook-up.

He might have trouble at night. He might
have nightmares, diarrhea, or throw up.

They’re all common symptoms,
so please don’t scold him.

If he can’t sleep at night,
give him warm water or milk.

If the symptoms worsen,
please take him to the nearby hospital.

Okay, thank you.

Did you say, “Sir, thank you”? Or no?

Hurry and say thank you.

Thank you, sir.

It's fine. It's my job.

Thank you.

Are you... Ro-wun’s father?

No, I'm not.

Lee Ro-wun...
or was Min-chae on duty today?

Are you Min-chae’s father?

I mean, uncle?

I’m Il Dang Baek.

Dang-baek’s dad?

Call me whenever you need me.

There’s a grand opening discount.

WE GRANT YOU EVERYTHING

We are listening.

Wherever it is or whoever it is.

To the first 15 people.

-Yes.
-Yes.

Yes, we’ll grant you whatever you need.

Did anyone see a lady in green
in front of Nokseak Elementary?

I was really surprised!

It was pure eye candy today.

It's an errand-running shop.
It opened last week.

Wow. That's a thing? That's amazing.

The store is called A Dime A Job.

They need to look good in front of us.
Moms’ rules are everyone’s rules.

Hey!

A DIME A JOB

Let's go.

You can't park here! Hurry and move it.

I'm sorry.

A Dime A Job is open! Take this.

Come on in!
Ma’am! Hey, beautiful, you’re here too!

Come and take noodles!

We have trash bags too! Everything’s free!

Free?

Yes, you just have to download
our A Dime A Job application.

What's that?

With just a dime, you’d be able
to get daily necessity services.

Just a dime.

A dime?

You’re too young to know.

Who pays to throw away trash?

That’s right.
Money doesn’t grow on trees.

You’re not just spending the dime,
you’re investing it.

To the precious lives of our housewives.

Of course. You all are so clever.

Here. Take them.

Check the app!

You have to download the app, okay?

Wow. I'm so exhausted.

Today was such an eye-opener.

I realized something at our grand opening.

-What was that?
-Working isn't tiring at all.

And that we can make
our 24 hours so worth it.

I had sudden enlightenment.

How about samgyupsal on this historic day?

Shall we?

Let's do it. What's the difference between
2,000,000 and 2,020,000 won in debt?

Let's drink somaek.

Okay.

Enlightenment has come.

Excuse me.

Today's event ended. I know it's hectic,
but we'll be back next week.

I mean, I'm interested in that.

A DIME A JOB
A DIME FOR EVERY JOB - HOW MAY I HELP
YOU?

Right! Yes, how may I help you?

I don't know if it's possible...

It is. Anything is possible.

It's for my girlfriend.

A surprise?

I'M OFF TO WORK

Dong-joo.

Manager.

Yes?

-My closest friend...
-Yes.

It's her and her bf's 100th day
anniversary, but he's not contacting her.

Why do you think that is?

So he can't be reached...

Can't be reached...

Does your boyfriend know
where you're working?

What?

Yes, I told him recently.

-That you're a funeral director?
-Yes.

And what did he say?

He didn't know what it was,
so I explained and he said that's great.

And that it's an amazing job to do.

I see.

-There's someone named Jolie.
-Jolie?

Yes. And I'm Brad. She's Jolie
and I'm Brad. You know what I mean?

-They met about 20 years ago.
-Wow, 20 years.

I wonder how she's doing. She got married.

-What?
-You have to have good nicknames.

Who ever thought Angelina Jolie
and Brad Pitt would break up?

I see.

-Get out!
-Fill it up, please.

-Leave.
-Why?

A hearse this early?
Get out, it's bad luck.

-Sorry. I apologize.
-Get your car out.

Yes, sir.

He's so rude.

Jeez. He's such a rude person.

It's okay. We don't have to go there.

That's not the only
gas station around here.

It's not like we'll ever see him again.

Would there be a problem?

-No. Not at all.
-Yes. Not at all.

-The problem is the person next to him.
-Next to him?

Yes.

Jolie's dad...

He really disliked me as well.

I've always wanted to

pour him

some alcohol.

Sorry for the late reply.

I was so busy. Should we meet tomorrow?

YES LET'S DO THAT

"Let's..."

"Let's break up."

Yoo Byeong-su asked me to say this to you.

Jeez.

I'm from A Dime A Job.

Also.

"The reason for our break up..."

"We're breaking up because

I don't want to hold your hand anymore."

"It's frightening to hold your hand,
considering what you're doing now."

Yoo Byeong-su asked me to say this.

Well, I'll get going then.

Excuse me.

There’s a grand opening discount.

Please give us a call.

Excuse me.

Kim Jipsa?

-Yes?
-How much is it?

How much did you get paid?

Well...

50,000 won.

What are you doing?

My name is Baek Dong-joo.

Ouch!

"I'm the one breaking up with you.
You b*stard!"

Please tell him this.

Baek Dong-joo!

Did you call me?

Why are you taking it out
on the wrong person?

Did I say I didn't like you?
It's your boyfriend.

No. Ex-boyfriend now, right?

I just did what your ex-boyfriend
told me to do and say.

Okay.

I understand, but you can't do this.

And I think there's a misunderstanding.

We run a different errand service
than other shops.

We don't offer violent
and ill*gal services--

m*rder*r.

You're not a m*rder*r
just by using violence and k*lling people.

You don't think this isn't?

Well, I'm not completely satisfied
with my hand either. No wait.

I hate it so much it's k*lling me.

But the reason why I'm enduring it

is because my hand...

My hand doesn't do that.

Giggling over a couple bucks.

And putting people in misery.
My hands don't do that.

How shameful. It's pathetic.

Hey! Take your money back!

Goodness.

-Does that hurt?
-Yes!

I have to get hospitalized
for at least two weeks.

Article 260 states, "A person
who uses violence against another

shall be punished by imprisonment
for not more than two years,

a fine not exceeding five million won,
detention, or a minor fine."

Goodness. What happened? If you want,
file a police report at our station.

-You're here.
-Yes.

Haven't I introduced myself yet?

You live on the second floor, right?

That's right. I'm from the south coast,
Jeonnam Yeosu. My name is Seo Hae-an.

Of course. I know you. I didn't
recognize you because of your uniform.

I didn't know you were a police officer.

The clothes make the man. Our station
is in front of Eonju University Hospital.

Goodness. What happened?
This isn't a small cut.

Did someone kick you?

-Yes.
-Someone kicked you?

Goodness. I should investigate this.

Let's investigate this immediately!

So you're saying you got beat up
after you sent over a break-up message.

You should've made up an excuse
instead of provoking the girl.

Then do I tell her your boyfriend loves
you so much that he wants to break up?

You're right! That's not right.

This isn't your fault.

He doesn't have the guts
to break up with her in person.

She can't control her anger
and let's it out on the wrong person.

They're the ones who are at fault.

I'm curious now.

What's wrong with her? What does she do
that she doesn't like her hands?

-Hands?
-Is she into gambling?

Or kills dogs?

How would I know?

I figured it out.

Her hands are just an excuse.

Am I right?

If you really want
to end the relationship,

you have to be heartbroken.

If you totally lost feelings
for the person,

it's really hard
to see them crying over you.

He just lost feelings for no reason.

I could understand why he did that.

I could imagine
what kind of person she is.

She is...

-...a strong character.
-Strong character?

She's the type to get sick of easily.

She used to play ping-pong.

Yes, I played for about 12 years,
since the third grade.

Were you good at it?

I tried my best.

But this place is a lot different.

What made you apply here?

First, everyone dies.

Second, there's a higher rate
of people dying nowadays.

Third, I wanted to find a place
I can work for at least 30 years.

Last, funeral director was a perfect fit
because it has no retirement.

It's not easy to find a job
when you are an athlete.

I want to work here until I grow old.

Isn't it frightening?

Why would it be?

FUNERAL PARLOR

What the...

Dong-joo.

What's wrong?

Where are we?

Dong-joo.

Noona!

Noona!

Noona!

Noona!

It was a strange day.

The weather was so nice.

It was really strange.

Dad.

Dong-joo.

Dad, please save me!

Noona!

Dad!

Noona!

Dad, do you hear this?

Noona!

Dad!

That I just took a nap...

That it was just a nightmare...
I wished someone would tell me that.

Hey, who told you
to go somewhere like that?

How can you go somewhere like that?

I never told you to make money!
Aren't you too bold?

A funeral director? That's ridiculous!

How am I supposed to live in peace?
Or face your mother?

Don't even pee in that direction.

Don't go near that area.

It was just a scare.

Just surprised, that's all.

It's normal to be scared
after seeing a corpse.

It'll be okay.

Everything will be okay.

Whenever I tried to forget about it...

Dong-joo.

Dong-joo.

Noona!

Noona!

Whenever I acted like nothing happened...

Noona, why'd you leave me alone?

Whenever I'd go on to live my life
normally and not think about it...

Left side of the stadium!

I felt like I had
all the bad luck in this world.

Did the devil come to visit me?

I'm in so much pain, Father.

I'm scared to open my eyes,
or even breathe.

Please save me.

I beg you.

Father.

Perhaps...

Perhaps?

There are people waiting.

-What?
-I think...

...it'll be a good idea to go back

to that place again.

You mean back to...

Back to the funeral parlor.

Don't you want to find out

who that kid is

and why he came to you, Stella?

And what kind of secrets your hands hold?

And what kind of talents you have?

No. I'm not curious at all.

-Stella.
-Father, why are you doing this?

Are you saying
I have the ability to see ghosts?

That's not true, is it?
It's because I was just scared.

This never happened to me
before or after the incident.

Right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

You have to scold me to pray harder.

You have to tell me that time will pass
and that I'm just talking nonsense.

You acted like you weren't aware
this whole time, didn't you?

I'm saying this because
this is the only way to solve the problem.

But still, how can I go back there?

No. I'm never going back.

I don't want to. Never!

Stella.

Stella.

Dong-joo! Goodness.

Dong-joo, are you okay?

I can't move.

-Where?
-My neck.

Your neck?

My goodness. God, please.

Father, do you know?

That you're so cruel and evil.

Why did you make me come into this world?

Why was I born? Why me?

Why? Why was I the chosen one?

Why did I go to a place like that--

You got a job there and met that kid.

It wasn't just for no reason.

Everything happens for a reason?

Bingo!

Do you know what I'm scared of the most?

It's dying.

Leaving my dad alone in this world
and dying. I don't want to die.

But I think I'm really close
to dying at this rate.

There's no other choice.

I'll go.

I'll go back.

God, I'll go back,
but can you promise me one thing?

When I meet them

and don't run away--

My husband

is coming here soon, right?

Yes.

I have one favor.

If I meet them diligently,

please let me leave this place.

Do you like it?

Thank you.

God, that's how many I'll do.

Just that many.

So please keep your promise.

Please. I beg you.

There's only 15 people left.

Let it be over.

My bad luck or a curse or whatever.

How shameful. It's pathetic.

Why? Does it taste bad?

-What?
-You look like you don't like it.

No, I really like it.

Wow, that's a big one.

Sir, here.

-Good for you!
-I'll get going!

Okay, have a great day!

Jeez.

DESIGNATED DRIVER SERVICE

You can leave yours here too.

-Would that be okay?
-Yes, of course.

Thank you.

Is there a good Chinese restaurant nearby?

I'm sorry. I'm not too sure.

I don't usually eat Chinese food.

-Should I drop you off here?
-Yes, please.

Here you go, sir.
Thank you so much. Take care!

-Wrap it up.
-Yes, sir.

I'm Baek Dong-joo, your funeral director.

This was a funeral parlor,
but now changed to a make-up room.

Our manager will be here shortly.

Then, this place will
change back to a funeral parlor.

So...

you will be spending
the last couple minutes

with me.

I have plans today at Euljiro.

I was supposed
to drink makgeolli with my son.

I've postponed this plan two times.
Am I supposed to bail on him again?

Ma'am.

Please don't do this.

Can you please save me?

I'm so sorry.

Can I go home real quick?

I couldn't finish my laundry.

I have to water my plants.
And I think I left the stove on.

It's recycling day.
And I have payments due too. Goodness.

I'm sorry, sir. But...

we're running out of time.

No.

No, this can't happen.

I still have so much to do.

My son...

I have to find my son.

My son...

I have to meet my son.

REST IN PEACE

Your son?

You have a son?

I want to meet my son.

I'm leaving too soon.
I have to at least see my son.

If you give me his number,
I'll contact him.

I'm...

I'm a bad person.

We will be filing for bankruptcy.

It was a while back.

Just for three months, please?

Stop the nonsense!
How am I supposed to babysit your son?

I can't take him with me
to my sailing work.

I can't take him to his dead mother.
You are my last resort.

Hey, I don't think we should
be asking each other for favors.

Here, I got an advance. Take this.

Please, I beg you.
Just for three months, okay?

Damn it. Excuse me, ma'am!

-Yes, sir.
-Is this hand-made?

This tastes amazing!

I ordered it from the Internet.

I see.

Cutie-pie!

Yes, honey!

-Find this on the Internet.
-Okay, hold on.

What are you doing?

One, two, three!

He was my step-brother,

but I had nobody else to go to.

Does it taste good?

Yes.

Goodness. Come here.

You got everything on your face.

I'll buy you jjajangmyeon again soon.

Really? When? Promise me.

I promise.

But...

you have to stay
with your uncle for three days.

I'll pick you up after three nights.

-Let's eat this again after three nights.
-No, I don't want to.

My son, you're good at listening, right?

No, I want to be with you.

I'll buy you jjajangmyeon again
after just three nights.

No, I want to go with you.

Goodness. Why aren't you listening to me,
my son?

I'll be back real soon.

Dad!

Dad!

Okay!

Are you okay?

-Dad!
-My son!

It probably left a huge scar.

So your son...

Stay here.

I'm going to use the restroom.

I came looking for him after three months.

But he disappeared.

It's all my fault.

It's my mistake leaving my son to him.

I've always carried around a cross.

There's not a place I didn't go.

I even went to the end of the village,
Baekryungdo and Manjaedo.

I've looked around everywhere.

Where could he be?

I want to know if he's even alive.

I've waited for so long...

I thought I'd see him before I die.

I think there's a possibility with you.

You're capable of finding my son.

Me?

No, there's no way I can.

I know it's nonsense.

But you...

came to me like this.

Does this make sense?

It's a miracle.

Miracle...

It's happening right now!

Am I quick to give up?

Yes.

Am I realistic?

Yes, extremely.

Sir, you couldn't find him for 25 years.
Who am I to...

How will I be able to find your son?

Do I work hard?

Definitely, yes.

I'm more desperate than anyone!
Every one person is important to me!

No, what's not possible is not possible.

I don't think I'll be able to do it.

But I still have to find him...

No, I can't find him. Never!

This is driving me crazy!

Hey, I don't think you're ready to mourn.

That's why we're breaking up for a while.

Yeon-jae.

-Yes, honey.
-Bring more medicine.

-Director.
-Hold on.

It's so empty here.
Funerals should be more crowded.

This belongs to Joon-h*.
Should I contact the person in here?

Let's just keep quiet.

This funeral is for me.
Why make it more bothersome?

You never know what's going to happen.
Let's just not risk anything.

-You're talking about your nephew, right?
-Nephew, my a*s.

Didn't you say he had a son?

Shh.

I feel guilty taking the insurance money.

Your heart is so weak.

I know, right?

Are you flying to Hawaii
with the insurance money?

I want to fly business.

Not just business class.

We'll also rent a private jet,
the one the President rides.

You're so amazing!

So don't even look at this stuff, okay?

Okay.

Where's my medicine?

I'll bring it to you.

Okay. Thank you, Miss Baek.

It's probably not in here.

What should I do?

KIM JOON-h*'S FUNERAL
EONJU UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL FUNERAL

KIM JOON-h*'S FUNERAL
LOOKING FOR HIS SON KIM GEON-WOO

SON MISSING AT BONGJU STATION

-Dong-ju.
-Yes.

-Are you waiting for someone?
-No.

He can't be...

No way...

-I'm sorry.
-You're supposed to pay in cash.

I was supposed to go to room nine,
but I was in shock so...

This...

-This one?
-No, the one next to that.

Thank you.

I thought that was his son.

-Honey.
-Yes?

Can we just leave like this?
Your dead brother's alone.

What's the problem with that?

I'll pay for our second,
third, and fourth rounds! Let's go.

Okay, let's go!

Goodness.

Let's go home too!

Yes, sir.

Manager.

I think I left something inside.
I should go back and get it.

Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

You're not giving me beer today?

-Do you want it?
-No.

I want to go home and sleep.
It's not like the son's going to show up.

Who knows?

Didn't God say...

do not doubt oneself.
Once you believe, it will come true.

Kim Jip-sa?

Yes.

It probably left a huge scar.

Your son is here.

He was going to be lonely
if you hadn't come.

I know you're resentful.
I understand you don't want to see him.

You think you know everything?

Right, you probably don't know.

You need to get paid
to go to your own father's funeral.

You shouldn't be the one to talk.
Who's the one who paid me to hit someone?

-Baek Dong-joo.
-Who the hell are you?

We're really about to close down!

There's a lot of things
you can't solve with money.

Why'd you take the money?

You really broke up?

Think about it. How can I hold her hand
when she touches corpses.

Yes, that's a bit disgusting.

I get goosebumps just thinking about it.

Wow I just got the chills.
It's so horrible.

What the...

Hey, isn't this bird poop?

Now your hands are more disgusting!

It's funny, isn't it?

Stop it!
