01x06 - Can Garbage Become Art?

[bunniefuu]

Did you say that money is nothing?

Why do you think everything happened?

It's because of money.

Isn't that the case for you?

You came and made a scene

in the exhibition room,

followed me to my hotel

in case I ran away,

and ran over this early,

pretending to be worried

because of money.

No?

Isn't it?

I'm glad you know that.

Yes, of course.

It's because of money. What else?

I have more than a few pennies

to get back from you, Ms. Kim.

So don't make your creditors nervous.

Please learn to keep yourself safe.

Don't put your life on the line

over a small amount of money.

You're much more valuable

than you think you are.

You aren't even a celebrity,

but the newspapers report on what you buy,

who you date, and even where you sleep.

Let me tell you once again.

Don't you dare get hurt

until you're done paying me back.

If you do, I won't just sit around.

Can we even have the exhibition

at this rate?

The artists will get furious

about this article.

Does Reporter Song hold a grudge

against our museum or what?

How do these people benefit

from these absurd articles?

If you read it,

it isn't particularly wrong.

What?

I mean, it's not like the reporter

made up everything.

I'm sure they put in the work

to cover the story.

Anyway, who's the man

that was seen with her at the motel?

I doubt it's Director Jang Tae-jin.

It has to be that guy

who dropped her off at the museum.

Goodness

You shouldn't say that

after everything she went through.

Why can't we say this?

It hasn't been long

since her father passed away.

This is embarrassing.

And no matter how urgent things are,

she's still the director

of Cheongsong Museum of Art.

How can she be seen at a motel,

not even a hotel?

-Was she in such a hurry?

-Ms. Song.

Yes, Director Kim.

Do you need me to do something?

Do you have the drafts of the banner

and the poster for this exhibition?

Yes, but they still need to be revised.

Please continue with the revision,

but print out a few

of the drafts we have now.

I don't care how complete it is.

It just needs to have The Space logo

and image on it.

May I ask why?

I want to hold a press conference.

What?

I'll send the email myself.

Send me the list

of the journalists' emails.

Yes, ma'am. But

Well

Will you be okay?

About what?

About the article that came out today.

They might be more interested

in your private life than the exhibition.

What if you did a press conference

-when things calmed down?

-That's why I'm doing it.

What?

You said you needed a new

and innovative idea

that can capture the attention

of the public.

The unlucky heiress

of the fallen Cheongsong Family.

I think it will attract plenty

of attention.

It's

provocative enough too.

Did she hear what I said earlier?

Did she?

When did you get here?

A little bit ago.

I was worried when I saw the news,

so I came right over.

But you had another guest,

so I was waiting.

I guess I didn't need to worry.

You know how much

I liked the museum at this hour, right?

You once said

that the art lit up at this hour

after getting a good night's rest.

It was a privilege I had

from being in love with you.

But it's been five years.

Go ahead and look around then.

Let go of me.

I don't have the time to stand here

and reminisce with you.

What can I do for you?

Want me to pay off all your debt?

Should I ruin that reporter's career?

If they catch the punk

who did this to you,

I can ensure he never sees

the light of day again.

Just say the word.

Can you really

do all of that?

-Do you think I'm just saying it?

-No.

I think you can really do it.

That's why you seem amazing

and unfamiliar.

You said you'd do everything for me,

so do that.

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Gosh, so many people showed up.

You got a ton of views.

You did the proper research, right?

It's not my first day on the job.

But doesn't it seem

like something's missing?

Since it's a press conference

on the exhibition,

I thought they'd do noise marketing.

But there aren't any posters up.

Did they give up on the exhibition?

I'm Kim Da-li, the new director

of Cheongsong Museum of Art.

I'd like to apologize to everyone

who loves Cheongsong Museum of Art

for worrying you over the unfortunate

events that occurred recently.

As the article stated,

after my father passed away,

Cheongsong faced

some financial difficulties.

However

the difficulties that private art

museums face are common.

I am using my private assets

to help normalize our current situation,

and many incredible people

have been helping us.

I promise that our Cheongsong family

will continue my father's legacy

and work hard

in creating a haven in the city

and a museum

that is easy for people to visit.

I heard you were robbed.

How are you feeling?

Luckily, I am okay.

Then can you take off your sunglasses?

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Who was with you at the motel?

It's a matter of privacy,

so I have no reason to tell you.

Was the man you were with hurt as well?

No comment.

Then why did you hold a press conference?

CHEONGSONG FAMILY ROBBERY CCTV

CHEONGSONG FAMILY ROBBERY CCTV

What's this?

CHEONGSONG FAMILY ROBBERY CCTV

Hey!

CHEONGSONG FAMILY ROBBERY CCTV

She's alone!

CHEONGSONG FAMILY ROBBERY CCTV

Then your article was fake news?

Sir. My gosh!

What is this?

I thought you said you fact-checked!

-Are you serious?

-She was alone?

-I can't believe it.

-His article was wrong.

-What a joke.

-What a waste of time.

Hey. What brand is this dress from?

Isn't it unique?

Her earrings are cute too.

It's so pretty.

"KIM DA-LI'S MOTEL SCANDAL

TURNS OUT TO BE A LIE"

-They're all luxury brands.

-Is this for real?

You might be able to find it

at their store.

It's so nice.

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

-Mr. Hwang.

-Yes?

Did you see

the most-searched keywords list?

The top ten keywords

all have to do with Cheongsong.

This isn't a dream, right?

Is this a dream?

Why did you do that?

I just proved it wasn't a dream.

It's not a dream.

-That hurt a lot.

-Did it?

What if our exhibition turns

into a huge success?

We'll know once it opens.

Why would you say that?

She sure is her father's daughter.

She is incredible.

I hope it stays at number one all day.

Can I change the letters on this?

Of course.

If you tell us what you want,

I can get it ready in a week.

No

Make it for me in two hours.

I'd like the ring and the earrings too.

What? Two hours?

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Okay. That's all for the photo op.

Thank you.

-That will be all for today.

-Please write a good article.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

Good job today.

We didn't do anything.

You did all the work.

What is everyone saying?

They're going crazy over it.

Our museum is probably the first

to make it into the search rankings

over an exhibition opening.

It'll only last a day or two.

To ensure that it doesn't end

as a piece of gossip,

I need something to reel in customers

to the exhibit.

Don't worry. We're off to a great start.

As long as the exhibition goes off

without a hitch,

everyone will be talking about it.

We did put together a great exhibit.

Ms. Song.

What are you doing here right now?

There's a flood of incoming artwork.

We're super busy.

I was just about to head over.

Ms. Kim.

Let's go.

I'm a reporter.

I can't let the fear of getting sued

stop me from reporting my story.

Fine. I'll wrap up here and head back.

Gosh

Mr. Kim.

You'd better get a grip.

I think you are punching

above your weight.

She just got lucky as she tried

to weasel her way out of this one.

It was all luck, nothing else.

Mr. Song.

You're still here.

I believe you have something to tell me.

You got the reporters to show up here

for your marketing stunt.

Isn't that enough?

Are you fishing for an apology too?

You saved money on marketing

thanks to my article.

I'll write a retraction and call us even.

Let's not complicate things

by taking things to court.

When the exhibition opens, please stop by.

I'll show you around.

Sure

Hey

So we're even then. Okay?

No legal hassles, right?

Sure. Don't worry.

Right

When you want to write an article

next time, call me directly.

You can't put yourself in a tight spot

again due to misinformation.

Right. I'll do that.

That little Gosh.

Mr. Jin.

Did you see this?

What?

She went viral.

Kim Da-li's necklace, dress, ring,

and so on.

She's all everyone

is talking about online.

Thanks to that,

the exhibit is getting a lot of attention.

Has everyone gone mad?

They saw a woman, a victim of a robbery.

How can they pay attention

to her necklace and outfit?

Are they psychopaths?

I thought you were behind this.

What?

You said you were

at the museum this morning.

So I just assumed

You know, seeing how things

turned around in less than a half-day,

there must've been a mastermind

behind this.

Who else would come up with this idea

if not you?

Unless money is your sole

and only purpose,

you can't come up with this idea.

So that's how low you think of me?

Someone who parades an assaulted woman

in front of cameras for money?

I'm sorry if you took it that way.

I just wanted to point out

desperate times call

for desperate measures.

You know, this concerns you

and Ms. Kim equally.

Okay. You can get back to work.

-You know what?

-Yes?

Doesn't something seem weird?

The article in the morning.

She just took over the museum.

How dare he say the museum is crumbling

and she doesn't deserve the position?

She had her father's funeral

to take care of,

sold off all of her assets,

and took the post at the museum.

She didn't even have time to breathe.

Something is off with the bank

and the partners too.

When I lent them two billion won,

their financial standing was fine.

Their credit score was pretty good.

You know, I did find it odd too.

People said that the museum

was nothing but an empty shell

that owed a lot of money to people,

and would be auctioned off pretty soon.

There were a lot of rumors

about the museum.

But when I looked into it,

their financial standing

hadn't changed much.

Besides, Cheongsong Museum of Art

was doing well for a private museum.

But as soon as Director Kim Nak-cheon

passed away,

the bank and their partners

changed their stance completely.

It's like they all promised

to turn against Cheongsong.

But they have been working with Cheongsong

for over ten or twenty years.

Is someone scheming from behind?

Goodness, Mr. Assemblyman.

Hello. Please come in.

This way, sir.

Being a politician

is such a difficult job.

I have to eat in secret

when I want to enjoy my meal.

Even when I want to freely talk,

I have to make sure no one is listening.

Goodness

You're right.

How can we force different moral standards

on politicians and regular people?

Technically, that's discrimination.

Isn't it?

Our country has a long way to go.

Very long, indeed.

Anyway, when will the green belt

get lifted?

You're unbelievable.

Green belt? What are you talking about?

I, Ahn Sang-tae, am a man of integrity.

The only belt I know

is the leather belt I wear.

Are you trying to ruin my career?

Gosh. I'm sorry. I made a huge mistake.

Don't let my mistake upset you.

I'm sorry.

I've only managed restaurants.

The construction industry is new to me.

I have a lot to learn.

Please treat me as a blank canvas

and be understanding.

The construction business

isn't that different.

A soldier who's about to face a w*r

needs to make sure his r*fle

is fully loaded.

A man bound to do great things

must be able to see the bigger picture.

You understand that,

don't you?

Of course, sir.

All right.

Here

It's an honor, sir.

I'm the city's go-to guy

who never gets tired a day.

This is Ahn Sang-tae speaking.

Goodness, sir.

How are things going in your district?

Yes

Of course.

What on earth is going on?

The museum has been in the limelight

all day today.

Do you think you can close down

the museum now?

Gosh. Don't even start.

This is driving me crazy too.

Did you find it?

You know what?

I think that old man got rid of it.

I doubt that it will be a problem.

It's not like it has a name on it.

We already got lucky once.

You think we'll get lucky again?

What if the police get a hold of that?

What will you do then?

The moment it gets leaked,

that will be the end of you.

You must know that.

What?

Are you kidding me right now?

You think I'll go down alone?

I've got nothing to lose now.

I'm not the one who came up

with this grand idea!

Why are you pinning it on me?

How dare you!

Gosh. That's why

we'll make sure we find it.

Why are you getting all worked up?

You are a gentleman, aren't you?

Let's find a way.

Forget it.

Whatever we do,

we just need her to give up the museum.

Right?

Welcome

Please enter.

What?

Who cares if it's double

or even quadruple?

It'll lay golden eggs

as long as it gets developed.

It's not easy putting your name

on something that's already done.

Wouldn't you agree, Gi-cheol?

She's right.

This isn't well-known

because it's being planned in secret,

but its size is much bigger

than what I thought.

Proceeding with this much money

without Mu-hak's knowledge?

Impossible

I'll ask Mu-hak, and if he says yes

I swear!

Is Mu-hak the CEO of Dondon?

Why would you ask this to someone

who only knows about gamjatang?

Gi-cheol is the one

who's good at business operations.

Are you insane?

I told you we should've set Gi-cheol up

with Ahn Sang-tae's daughter.

Instead, you sent the dumb one,

and he got turned down.

-What?

-Did I say anything wrong?

If things had gone well then, and we had

become family with Ahn Sang-tae,

things wouldn't have been so hard.

We could have had it so easy.

Mu-hak was not turned down

I'm not listening!

If you don't vouch for Gi-cheol again,

I'll divorce you and split the fortune.

I'll split the fortune

and back Gi-cheol up with that money.

What did you just say?

Back him up?

What did you

I meant to scrub it.

Scrub

Scrub his back for him.

You're too old to not know

how to do that yourself!

Go take a bath now.

Right, I should scrub my back.

I should go do that right now.

To scrub all the dead skin away.

Anyway, what are you doing here?

Right. You said that one time.

That there were many players

eyeing Cheongsong Museum of Art.

Where did you hear that from?

There we go.

This should be good.

Okay

Did I say that?

I must have said whatever

because that girl was not cutting it.

What won't you say

when you can make money,

from banks or elsewhere?

Right?

-Of course.

-Absolutely.

Definitely

Something's going on for sure.

Whatever

This is so good.

Would she have eaten anything

amidst all the chaos?

I can't bring her anything

when I don't know her address.

Darn it.

Slow down. You'll upset your stomach.

Drink some soup.

Didn't you eat lunch?

I didn't have the time.

I was running everywhere

for press conferences,

taking pictures, doing interviews,

and setting up all the artwork.

It was crazy.

But the problem is

that it's going to get even busier.

I think the exhibition will be a huge hit.

Thank goodness. I've been worried.

Worried?

It's not easy being exposed to the public.

You especially dislike it.

Plus, the whole video

of the incident was circulated.

There's no like or dislike

when it comes to work.

And I found it actually suits me

quite well once I started working.

I look good on camera, no?

You looked ugly.

I'm done here. I'm full.

You literally finished it.

This restaurant has good food.

The portion size could be bigger.

This portion is really meant for four.

DONDON GAMJATANG

It's Dondon Gamjatang?

I know this place.

Trying to change the topic.

How do you know this place?

I really do.

Anyway, aren't you going to get mad?

What?

You know the culprit was never caught.

You got the call.

Why would I get mad?

I should be thanking you.

I'm just putting that off

because I owe you too much.

I can't pay you back immediately.

Hey. I lent you the money

because I had enough savings.

So don't worry about it.

You know I'll ask for it back

once the criminal is caught.

It's very reassuring to have a friend

who is a high and mighty civil servant.

I'll clean this up.

No! Actually, will you?

50,000 WON

Have you

HAVE YOU EATEN?

It's too late for that.

What did you

WHAT DID YOU HAVE FOR DINNER?

No. This isn't it.

Isn't there anything like that?

You weren't thinking

about this person at all.

And then all of a sudden you are.

You think of her.

Just for a brief moment, in passing.

What do you say at that moment?

Something that sounds indifferent

Da-li, do you like sashimi?

DA-LI, DO YOU LIKE SUSHIMI?

Wait. That's not how you spell it.

That was close.

Da-li, I like you.

Da-li, I like you.

What should I do?

Calm down.

It's okay. You can recover from this.

DA-LI, I LIKE YOU

I meant to say "sashimi."

No!

No way!

"Sashimi." Not "sushimi."

You know it's a typo, right?

Goodness

What's going on?

Why won't she reply?

Is she asleep?

At this hour?

What am I going to do?

She might think I meant it.

That's crazy. Why would I like her?

How snobby.

Good grief.

3,000 GEOPS

What's that?

What?

Come on, good grief.

Why isn't anyone picking up? It's so loud.

I was doing an important task.

If I ever run into you, I'll kick you out.

Hey!

That little

Da-li, I like you.

I meant to say "sushimi."

"Sashimi." Not "sushimi."

You know it's a typo, right?

I mean it. I could get curious

in the middle of the night, right?

It's not a state secret

if you like sashimi or not.

Are you asleep?

I'm not a weird guy.

Hey, what is it?

Here

You can use this for a while.

What's this?

Your account was seized,

and your credit cards are suspended.

You need to get by for now.

It's okay. I found out that they let me

use the minimum cost for living.

You never know what will happen,

so keep it.

What's the limit?

-What?

-Are you sure about this?

I know you're the high

and mighty civil servant,

but I'm the type who buys luxurious goods.

Someone who buys shoes

worth a family's monthly living expense.

Are you sure about this,

Detective Joo Won-tak?

Do as you like. My gosh.

Pay for it with an installment plan.

I'M NOT A WEIRD GUY

So she won't respond, huh?

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

What is this?

I thought the exhibition was in two days.

Unbelievable

Come on, good grief.

Man, these cost me a fortune.

This museum is a mess.

They didn't even throw out garbage.

My gosh.

Director Kim.

-Hello, Ms. Song.

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

-Good morning, Mr. Han.

CHEONGSONG MUSEUM OF AR

Mr. Jin.

Why didn't you respond?

Sorry?

Goodness

My gosh.

No matter how angry you are,

you shouldn't be like that.

Do you know what's the worst

when you text someone?

When they read the messages

but don't respond.

You texted me last night.

It was too late by the time I read it,

so I couldn't text back.

Did I keep you waiting?

No

I have better things to do.

Why would I wait? Gosh.

I like sashimi,

and I agree that you could get curious

late at night.

My taste in food isn't a state secret,

and I don't think you're weird.

Are those the answers you wanted?

Yes, well, I guess.

Anyway, why did you sleep here?

I got here early, then I fell asleep.

I couldn't sleep last night.

-Why not?

-It's because

My upstairs neighbor was way too loud.

I see. I heard noise issues

were very serious here.

I hear there are people

who aren't considerate

in their communities.

Are you all right?

What do you mean?

Yesterday must've been a long day.

I'm sorry for yesterday.

You got worried and ran over,

but I only got mad at you.

I guess I feel more at ease

when I'm with you

to a point that I got grumpy.

I apologize.

Well, you know, things happen in life.

You don't have to apologize.

You can always get grumpy with me.

I'll gladly let you do that.

It doesn't even cost anything.

That's not very hard to do.

-Sorry?

-What?

Director Kim, this is an emergency.

I need you to come now.

No

Where did it go?

This is driving me crazy.

Who took an entire truck

of things that can't even be recycled?

My gosh, this is driving me crazy.

How strange!

Did you find it? No?

You couldn't find it either?

How did they manage

to take only Hong Ja-yeong's work?

They only took

The Living and The Dead Series.

That's the most famous piece here

since it won an award at the Biennale.

It wasn't in the basement

or the storage room?

No, I checked.

It's a famous piece, so they can't

even sell it. Who would take it?

I'm positive that it's the work

of someone in this field.

They must've done it

to ruin our exhibition.

-Ms. Na.

-Yes?

What did the security company say?

You called them earlier.

-Right.

-Well

They said nothing was out of the ordinary.

They went on patrol like usual,

and they didn't see anything suspicious.

Gosh. What should we do?

Ms. Hong will be here soon.

You guys are doing a great job.

This museum is running so well.

You guys acted all high

and mighty saying you did art,

But is this how you manage your artwork?

You all said she was a promising artist.

You said that someone as ignorant as me

couldn't understand it.

You said no money

could buy a piece like that!

Even the youngest guy

in my restaurant's kitchen

doesn't handle our ingredients like this.

He checks the expiration dates regularly,

and he checks that the freezers are locked

two, three times before he goes home!

How can you call yourselves professionals?

Can you say you're worth the money

you're being paid?

Hey

Why don't we check the security footage?

I had just about patched things up.

What?

Why

-Don't step on it!

-No!

What's wrong?

It's all in here. Goodness.

This is it. It is, right?

Wait

No

Hey

I

The museum was so dirty,

so I was just trying to help.

Think about it.

What kind of museum leaves trash

on an exhibit floor?

You could've figured it out

if you thought it through!

Anyone can see

that this is just a bunch of trash!

Ask anyone on the street

if this looks like trash or art.

Am I the weird one here?

Am I the only one who sees it like that?

-My gosh.

-Goodness.

Hey, Mister.

You know what I'm saying, right?

Say something.

Does this look like art to you? Does it?

No, it's not that

Why can't you just say the trash

looks like trash?

What did you call the winning piece

at the Biennale?

Trash?

Why are you talking about

Vienna sausages right now?

My gosh. You're unbelievable.

I'm so frustrated.

This is called an objet d'art!

Don't you know what conceptual art is?

Haven't you heard of junk art?

If you're this ignorant,

you should just stay still.

Just because you have some money

What a joke! Seriously!

Ms. Song.

I don't know about anything else,

but I can't stand by

and watch him insult art.

How did Cheongsong get mixed up

with such an ignorant person?

-Be careful.

-Careful.

What a monumental load of garbage.

-What?

-Mr. Jin.

Is this what art is?

I see. So this is art?

If I had known art was so easy,

I should've made art instead of gamjatang.

My gosh.

No. Never mind.

Now that I think about it,

I was creating art without realizing it.

Come over one day.

I have a ton of things like this.

Ripped clothes, weathered sneakers,

leftover bones.

Should I make one right now?

Did you see that? Art.

Should I make some more?

-Want some used toilet paper?

-Please stop.

Why? Is poop not allowed?

Please stop.

Ms. Hong. I'm so sorry.

Something unfortunate has happened

due to my negligence.

I will do whatever I can to make up for

-My.

-Ms. Hong!

I heard Cheongsong was a mess,

and I guess it was true.

Ma'am

"Trash"?

-Ms. Hong.

-Ms. Hong!

Hold on.

-Ma'am.

-Ms. Hong!

Please calm down.

How should I apologize for this?

I know nothing I say

can make you feel better,

but please keep in mind

your relationship with us.

-Ms. Kim Da-li?

-Yes.

I really liked your father.

He let me hold my first exhibition here

at Cheongsong.

Your father was also the person

who introduced my work

to the art world abroad.

Even without my personal relationship

with him

In this country, out of everyone who puts

their name on the line to create art,

there isn't a single person

who hasn't benefited from your father.

That's why despite the fact

that the exhibition was delayed a month,

nobody complained and waited for you.

I am aware of this.

Right!

I know that there are always mishaps

when holding an exhibit.

But

don't you think this is too much?

What? Leftover bones?

Used toilet paper?

My gosh! I feel as if

I've received every insult

I could receive in my entire life.

Don't say a word.

My precious artwork.

Artwork that I cherish more than my life.

Pack it up just the way you got it

and send it back to me.

If even a single objet d'art is different,

you can kiss this exhibition goodbye!

-Ma'am.

-Get your hands off me.

-Wait.

-Ma'am.

-No.

-Ma'am.

-Ma'am. Please wait.

-Ma'am.

-Ma'am, we're so sorry.

-Get out!

-No. Ma'am.

-Ma'am.

-Please. Help us!

-You can't leave like that.

-Please, ma'am!

-Wait.

-Please help our museum!

-Ma'am!

-Ma'am!

-Ma'am!

-No!

-Ma'am!

Segi Department Store capitalized a lot

on Ms. Kim's press conference.

Some people even suggested

hiring her as our jewelry model.

No

Of course, not.

And about the loan shark,

you wanted me to look into.

It turns out he isn't a loan shark.

He's from Dondon F&B,

a big restaurant franchise.

He's the director there,

but he practically manages the company.

Dondon F&B?

The franchise is famous for its gamjatang.

They've been growing aggressively lately,

so they are expanding now.

Right. Don't buy any ads

from Jeil Newspaper for a while.

-Pardon?

-They went after Da-li.

A retraction won't cut it.

I heard that Reporter Song

who wrote the article

is Assemblyman Ahn's guy.

-Won't there be a problem?

-Must I worry about that?

Wait! You can't barge in there like that.

I'm sorry. I couldn't reason with her.

I'm Ahn Chak-hui from Gallery Mond.

She's Assemblyman Ahn's daughter.

Okay. Ms. Hong, bring us some tea.

You can get back to work.

Take a seat.

I'm sorry.

I had to use my only ability

in order to meet with you.

Your only ability?

People say being born into a rich family

is one's ability too.

When people find out who my father is,

they don't get in my way.

I just wanted to say your employees

didn't do anything wrong.

You're bold and considerate.

Why are you here?

I wanted to find out why you terminated

the contract when it hadn't even expired.

Is it something we did?

Or is it because things aren't good

between you and my father?

Why do you keep bringing him up

when this is about work?

You signed with the gallery

because of my father in the first place.

Who said that?

-Well

-What you just said

Was your name Ahn Chak-hui?

Do you know how much trouble your father,

the only card you have,

would be in if someone heard

what you just said?

I'm trying to change things up

for the company's anniversary.

It had nothing to do with the gallery.

On top of that,

Assemblyman Ahn Sang-tae

had nothing to do with this.

Are we good?

If you say so, it must be true.

If I may, can I ask

where you'll sign with next?

I think we're done here.

Is it Cheongsong Museum of Art?

Well, why do you ask?

It's about Ms. Kim Da-li, right?

Well, I can't say

She only wore jewelry

from your department store

for her recent press conference.

Are you guys seeing each other again?

I see. That explains everything.

No. I wouldn't say we are there yet.

Why? Is she not into you?

Well, not exactly.

That's odd.

I thought it was a green light for sure.

I might be dense about other stuff,

but my dating radar is superb.

When women don't like someone,

they don't even pee

I mean, they don't even look at him.

The fact that she wore jewelry

from your department store

means she's saying yes.

She's saying yes?

Exactly.

So you shouldn't give up.

Keep trying. Please.

Women can't resist men

when they are persistent.

Why do I get the feeling you're rooting

for your sake, not mine?

Well, why does that matter?

What we must focus on

is winning over our loved ones.

You can do it.

CHOI JEONG-HWA

The receiver cannot be reached.

You will be directed to voicemail.

She's not answering?

The artist has a nasty temper.

It's her loss if there's no exhibition.

Who wants to look at garbage?

-Mr. Jin.

-Yes?

You said

hitting rock bottom would be a way

to tell apart my allies and enemies.

After my father passed away,

I went through a lot.

I kept thinking that I had

hit rock bottom again and again.

But I guess I haven't hit rock bottom yet.

I can't tell who's on my side

and who's not.

Do you remember what you said?

People only maintain relationships

they can benefit from.

They left because if they didn't,

they'd end up losing money.

And that's how cruel life is.

What you told me comforted me.

When life was cruel,

you stayed by my side.

To tell you the truth,

you were the only person who wanted to

help me save the museum

regardless of the nature

of our relationship.

But now, I'm not really sure

if you're on my side or not.

No

I didn't know what I was doing earlier.

Hello?

Get in. I'll drop you off on my way out.

I'm good.

Get in.

The cars are piling up.

Thank you for the ride.

Why so formal?

Where to?

To Nambu Police Station, please.

Thank you.

I'll take care of the problem

at the museum.

Don't worry about it too much.

Why is she worried about me now?

It wasn't me. Okay?

-It wasn't me! Darn it.

-Be quiet.

How do you call yourselves cops?

Do you have proof?

-I didn't even do anything!

-Hey, sit down.

How can you keep me here without proof?

I thought we had a democracy.

Be quiet. How dare you

raise your voice here?

Stop lying through your teeth.

-Hey.

-Who are you?

-Hey!

-You scumbag!

-Hey.

-Get off me!

-Calm down.

-You almost punched me.

-What?

-Be quiet!

-What did you say?

-I'd love to get

settlement money

and live a comfortable life.

Seriously. She'd better watch out.

Once I find the girl that reported me,

I'm going to punch

What

Say that again. What did you say?

-What did you say?

-Mr. Jin, no!

Don't do that.

I should've just

k*lled her back then.

She spent all her life reading books

and learning about art.

What a load of garbage.

Ms. Kim Da-li isn't some naive kid.

-Why do you have things on your face?

-"My Won-tak"?

Look at me.

He keeps getting on my nerves.

And excessive nosiness

doesn't mean goodwill,

it means you have an ulterior motive.

I understand that you're right

about everything, but

I'm here to clean up my crap.

What if I did it

because I wanted to see you happy?
