THE APARTMENT JOB

Four billion?

You pocketed four billion won?

Our apartment complex
only has 1,200 households,

and I skimmed that much.

But this place…

Has almost 10,000 households.

Then how much do you think
you can skim off?

A billion? Two billion?

That's pocket change!

You could even skim off ten billion!

I'm serious, Mr. Park!

Ten billion?

Yes.

We can skim off

ten billion won

from this apartment complex?

Release him.

What? Oh, okay.

Hey, untie him.

How do we skim off ten billion then?

Well…

You have to become…

The president
of the residents' association.

The president?

Me?

Yes.

Tie him up again.

That's enough of your nonsense!

Hey! Don't touch me!

The grown-ups are talking,

you little brat.

Didn't you see him giving me my jacket?

Mr. Park.

Just hear me out, okay?

The only people who have access

to the repair reserve fund

are the facility manager
and the president.

If those two are in on it together,

draining an entire apartment complex
would be a piece of cake.

Let's just throw him off.
We have no use for you now.

Wait, stop!

- Wait! Please!
- Throw him off!

Mr. Park, I saw the notice
in the elevator on my way here.

Your apartment complex

is having
a building representative election.

Become the building representative,
then the president.

Then you'll be able
to pocket ten billion won!

You're telling me to become
a building representative?

Yes.

Hang him.

- Hey, tie him up again.
- All right.

I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry, Mr. Park.

You're right.

I didn't realize it would be humiliating
for someone like you

to be
an apartment building representative.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Mr. Park.

I'm sorry I hurt your pride.

But there's no other way.

You have to be a building representative…

To qualify to run for president.

Can anyone become the building rep?

Anyone can do it!

Just ask the residents here.

No one even cares about the building rep.

If you volunteer,

you're pretty much guaranteed
to get elected.

I mean it.

I'll get elected…

If I just volunteer?

BUILDING REPRESENTATIVE ELECTION

See? I told you.

You're not seriously buying this, are you?

It's ridiculous.

Boss.

The door is closing.

With ten billion…

We can save Yong-man

and make a fresh start.

But even if you get lucky
and become the representative,

would there really be ten billion here?

If you really don't believe me, call them.

Call who?

The management office.

Ask them how much
the long-term repair reserve fund is.

Long-term what?

What kind of fund is that?

Gosh.

The long-term repair…

You dimwits.

The apartment complex collects money
from residents over a long period.

"Long-term."

If something's broken, you repair it.

"Repair."
Hence, "long-term repair reserve fund."

Please call them
and ask how much they have.

Miss Kang!

What time do you even come to work?

You're here early, Yun-seo.

I thought I'd be here first today.

It's not even 9:00 yet. Should I answer?

Yes, it could be something urgent.

This is the management office.
How may I help you?

Hello. Good morning.

I'm…

One of the residents.

Well, I…

I wanted to ask you something.

The repair reserve fund…

How much is in
the long-term repair reserve fund?

The long-term repair reserve fund?

Well…

Just a moment, sir.

Miss Kang, he's asking
how much is in the repair reserve fund.

Who is it?

A resident. What should I tell him?

Just tell him how much.

Yes, sir.

You want to know how much is in the fund?

Just a moment.

There's 17,857,420,000 won.

Sir, as you probably know,

the apartment complex
will need repairs as it ages,

so we collect fees in advance to save...

Hello?

Sir?

- No way!
- They really have ten billion?

It's more than that. It's 17...

It's 17,857,420,000 won.

Hang on. They actually have it.

I can't believe it.

The facility manager here
must've taken good care of the fund.

It's more than I expected.

Gosh, my knees.

Hey, you're the youngest here, aren't you?

Go and make some hot coffee for me.

So, Mr. Park,

do you believe me now?

Hey, let's actually do this.

That 17,857,420,000 won.

We're going to take it.

THE APARTMENT JOB

Try it like this, Seo-jun.

Yes.

Like that.

You did great.

You're doing great.

SAPLING
NAME: MIN-JUN'S TREE

SAPLING
NAME: RU-I

I was so surprised.

How did you come up with this idea?

Now this is real education.

Right?

Donating to an arboretum

and using the saplings they gave you
to help teach the children about nature.

It's amazing.

You even donate to an arboretum?

You're so thoughtful.

- I know, right?
- I admire that.

I thought that planting saplings
with the kids

would be good
for their emotional development.

It's nothing special.

You're so cool.

What is this?

Who said you could
plant stuff like this here?

This is ridiculous.

Don't you know how expensive
our apartment complex is?

They poured a fortune
into the landscaping design.

Who gave you permission
to plant this crap here?

What?

What did you say? "Crap"?

How can you say such a thing?

Did I say anything wrong?

Whose land is this? Is it yours?

Excuse me.

We can plant stuff here
if we're residents.

I'm a resident too.

There are loads of residents here.

You should get their permission.

It's not like we did something bad.

It's for the kids' education.

Mothers,

let me tell you something. Listen up.

I get your enthusiasm,
but this tacky parenting.

- Goodness.
- Tacky?

Just do it in your own homes!

We're teaching them about nature

and how to respect life.

You call that tacky?

You actually have a point.

Fine, but before you teach them that,

why don't you teach them

about shared communities
and respecting your neighbors first?

"Nature"? You've got to be kidding me.

Then should I try planting lettuce,
peppers, and cabbage

all over the place?

That's different.

What's different? It's the same!

Hurry up and pull these out!

What if we won't?

- You won't?
- No.

No!

All right, then.

Hey!

I can't believe this!

What's she doing?

She must be crazy!

- What are you doing?
- Stop it!

She really pisses me off.

I can't believe her.

She's so stuck up.

Did you hear her going on about rules?

She was so annoying.

Who even is she?

It's obvious, isn't it?

She's just an ignorant person.

Actually,

I overheard the guards talking about her.

They said she's a former beauty queen.

No way. Miss Korea?

A beauty queen? That's insane.

I bet she won a lunatic contest,
not a beauty pageant.

That's crazy.

I'm not sure about the details,

but I heard that there are photos of her
from the beauty pageant

plastered all over her walls.

They must be fake photos.
That can't be true.

In any case,

I think we need someone

to represent us young mothers
in our apartment complex.

There are over 3000 preschoolers here,

but there's no one
to speak for all those mothers.

You have a great point.

Someone who can understand us
and take our side

should be president
of the residents' association

for us to have influence.

- You're right.
- They're electing the building reps.

Won't they pick the president
from among them?

- Yes.
- I think so.

You know,

you should try running.

We'll give you our full support.

Me?

You're thoughtful and socially conscious.

You should be a voice for us mothers.

If you run this time,
we'll back you up no matter what.

Yes, you can do it.

How would I…

But who's the current president?

I don't know.

I have no idea.

Yes?

PRESIDENT SEO g*ng-WON

Is everything all right?

I…

Sir.

"I…"

Whenever you hesitate like that,

it turns out to be something troublesome.

You're scaring me.

Well,

some young mothers caused a scene

over planting saplings in a flower bed
within the complex.

Is that so?

I wrapped up the issue by saying
we'd discuss it during a meeting, but...

I told you several times
that it'll die down if we stay quiet.

Don't cause a bigger problem
by getting involved,

and just leave it be.

Don't do anything.

The trick to staying on
as a facility manager for years

is to just laugh it off and do nothing…

No matter what the residents say.

Right.

Is there another "I…" to say to me?

Why aren't you leaving?

Ha-jeong is saying
she'll stop doing that job.

An acquaintance of mine
gave this tea to me.

The scent is quite nice.

I heard your sister became a lawyer.

Congratulations.

She must be quite amazing.

Thank you.

You heard from Mr. Choi, right?

I can't do…

That job anymore.

But…

If your sister finds out

what kind of money
you've been supporting her studies with,

wouldn't she be
pretty disappointed in you?

I just think that your sister

would be better off not knowing
about what you've been doing.

But I really can't do it any longer.

I won't tell anyone about it.

I promise to keep my mouth shut.

If you feel uneasy with me here,

I'll resign from the management office.

Just let me quit.

Did you think that

if you said you'd back out
on your own like this,

I'd just say, "Sure, do as you please"?

Do you really think
I'd just let you leave?

I'm just kidding.

It was a joke.

This tastes nice. Go on.

"A facility manager
in an apartment complex

with 1200 households has been suspected

of embezzling four billion won
over five years by falsifying accounts.

"The police are currently tracking
his whereabouts." So what?

That guy the article's talking about

is me.

Wow, you're a total scumbag.

Hang on.

The complex residents
aren't doing anything

even after losing all that money?

Well, technically speaking,

it's the same as each household
losing about 30,000 won a month.

Who would waste their time and energy
to get that tiny sum back?

No one in Korea would do that.

Everyone's busy with their own lives.

It's better for them to just work
and earn money in that time.

They don't even care about it.

That's why we can skim off the money?

Because they don't care?

WHAT IS THE LONG-TERM REPAIR RESERVE FUND?

Before we begin, raise your hand

if you've ever lived
in an apartment complex before.

Put them down.

Then while you were living there,

has anyone ever been curious about
what the long-term repair reserve fund is?

Right? I understand.

Loads of people have no idea what this is,
even if they live in an apartment.

Just start explaining.

To put it simply…

It's a fund collected in advance
for long-term repairs

for the apartment complex.

If residents are asked to pay

for the fees all at once later,
they'll be pissed.

As people get older,

their bodies start hurting here and there.

It's the same for apartment buildings.

So this fund is saved for such moments!

That's what
the long-term repair reserve fund is.

Mr. Park, how much did you pay
into the fund this month?



Let's round it down to 29,000 won.

And how many households?

There are 9800 households.



- Multiply it and...
- It's 284.2 million.

Right.

That amount has been piling up each month,

and now, there's about 17.85 billion won

sitting in that fund!

So the people managing the fund

are the president and facility manager?

That's it.

Then I'll beat those two up

and join our old boss Yong-man.

Sit down.

Just take care of your health.

Your apartment complex is electing
building representatives right now,

and if you become one,
you qualify to run for president.

Doesn't this seem like fate, Mr. Park?

You pocketed four billion
over five years, right?

- Yes.
- But we don't have that much time.

We only have three months.

Don't worry about that.

If you become the president,
you'll get the official seal.

To execute payments, you need
the president's and the manager's seal.

With those, you can just stamp it,
withdraw the cash and flee abroad.

That's it.

So we'd just need the manager's seal.

That's what I'm telling you.

Then how would we acquire that?

Come on!

You guys are big and strong.

It'll be easy to get your hands
on one seal.

You can hang him off the rooftop
like you did to me

or coax him into splitting it with you.

You can decide on that later.

But first, Mr. Park,

you have to run for building rep.

The 17,857,420,000 won

along with the money we have
would be 21,357,420,000 won.

That would be enough…

To protect Yong-man

and help Gyeong-nam, Je-gil,
and Big Guy achieve their dreams.

I have to pull this off,

no matter what.

SEOUL JUNGBU DETENTION CENTER

Hey, why are you visiting so often?

Why do you look so awful? Let me see.

Are there guys bullying you in there?

Of course not.

They treat me with respect

since I was the former boss
of the Oasis g*ng.

They let me use the bathroom first
in the morning

and give me the most meat
during our meals.

Should I keep going?

I just feel sorry, that's all.

Just hang in there.

I found a way to get you out.

Don't do anything bad
because of me, Hae-kang.

It's nothing bad.

Then what is it?

Nobody's getting harmed,

so it's nothing bad.

Park Hae-kang.

You told me to focus on my life.

I need you in my life.

I need you, so…

Just get ready to leave.

DAILY REPAYMENT, SAME-DAY LOAN


NO COLLATERAL OR GUARANTOR REQUIRED

Hey, Hae-kang.

- Go on in.
- Hurry.

I heard you took
Dongseong Temple's donation box.

The head monk owes over 50 million won.

Why would you do something
I didn't even tell you to do?

You'll hurt yourself, you idiot.

Take it easy, okay?

Yes, Boss.

LOAN AGREEMENT

I heard your father died.

I've been keeping this
in case he asked for you again…

But I don't need it now.

You can leave.

Don't do anything dangerous…

And just do what you want.

It's the end for us now.

I…

I want to stay here.

With you, Boss.

What's going on?

I don't know. Was there an accident?

Why aren't you moving your car? Hey!

- Just a moment.
- Hurry up!

Of course. Please wait.

Sir, why don't we talk
after you move your car first?

- Don't you see this?
- No.

Why should I?

Sir, you're causing inconvenience
for the residents

by blocking the parking lot.

What about me?

What about my inconvenience?

I'm a resident here too!

So why the hell did you stick

- this parking violation notice on my car?
- Record this.

Do you know how much this car costs?

Sir, that was because you kept parking
across two or three spaces…

- Yun-seo…
- Right?

We kept getting complaints,
so we had no choice.

I live here. I pay the maintenance fees
and park where I want.

What does it matter to you
if I take two or three spaces?

I'm replacing my windshield,
so bring me ten million for that.

Sir!

You've been parking terribly
over and over again!

If you don't move your car,
we're reporting this.

- I'm calling the cops!
- The cops?

- What are you doing?
- Calm down.

Lady, you think calling the cops
will change anything?

This isn't a public road,

so the police can't tow my car.

Don't act so bold if you're ignorant!

How dare you call me ignorant?

You're the one who's ignorant!

Move!

Oh, my gosh. Are they crazy?

Nice. How satisfying.

Wait… Wait!

What?

What's wrong with you?

Have you lost your mind?

How…

How can you just ram into
someone else's car like this?

You seemed to be unable to move your car,
so I did it for you.

Don't be ridiculous.

Do you know how much this costs?

It's 300 million won!

- Were you prepared for that?
- It's 300 million.

He's going to have to pay


I have no money to give
to someone like you.

You can sue me or report me.
Whatever you like.

Would the police even do anything?

Okay, fine.

Nobody's entering the parking lot today!

Don't do this. Come on.

CHUNG-WON

All right.

I'm sorry.

I scratched your car,
so I'll compensate you for it.

Why is this apartment complex
filled with psychos?

This car is really expensive.
Are you loaded?

It looks like a budget model
from about ten years ago.

Looking at its condition, it seems like
you got it used for about 80 million.

Of course, I'll compensate you for it.

The thing about a car

is that once it's been repaired,
it depreciates massively.

I'll cover everything.

Mr. Kim,

compensate him in full
so he won't feel upset.

Yes, sir.

But I'm a businessman,

so I only feel satisfied
when calculations are precise.

You wasted my precious evening

and the time of all the residents here,

caused a disturbance,

and interfered
with the management office's work,

so I'm planning on suing you for that.

What do you say?

I have about 12 lawyers in my company.

Do you think you can handle that?

I'm going to sue you too.

You should.

Our lawyers are excellent at their job.

They're good at digging up dirt,

picking people apart,

and completely destroying their lives.

That's their specialty.

All within legal boundaries, of course.

So can you move your car now?

- Where is he going?
- Is he running away?

He's the guy living in the penthouse
in Building 123, isn't he?

He's so cool.

Isn't he so cool?

He really is cool.

I was the one
who damaged the car in the end,

so my secretary
will take care of everything.

We'll handle the repair costs
for your car too.

That's all right.

I'll handle my own car.

You dealt with the troublesome nuisance

and helped save my time.

It's only fair that
I handle your repair costs as well.

I'm Lee Chung-won from Building 123.

I'm Park Hae-kang from Building 114.

You're really cool, sir!

Everyone, applause!

You're so cool!

You're amazing!

He's so cool.

I ended up having to kiss him!

What? You did what?

We…

We kissed.

For real?

Still, if it weren't for him,
you would've been short on money.

But what about this month?

I don't know.

Here, take this.

Seriously?

You're delivering milk to earn that money?

You look so exhausted.

It's 3000 won.

What's 3000 won?

That probiotic drink you're drinking.

I have to buy it? Fine, I will.

And I'll pay for dinner as well.

Forget dinner.

Can't you just buy all of these
while you're at it?

No, this is crazy.

Just go and talk to your sister.

Tell her the truth
and just ask her for help one more time.

This is insane.

I know, but,

I can't bear to see
the disappointment on her face.

And how can I do that to her
when she helped me for ten years?

She should focus on her own life now.

Then,

how about this?

Just do this until the end of my term.

That's fine, isn't it?

Hey, Ha-jeong.

Were you waiting for me?

I treated my colleagues to dinner today

to celebrate my sister becoming a lawyer.

Why would you treat them?

Hey, I've been working there
for six years,

but I never treated them to anything.

And I never joined them for dinner
unless it was a company gathering.

You know I'm not a morning person.

But I woke up early

every day for six years
to pack lunch so I could save money.

Six years.

I know.

I'm not that smart,

but I've been working really hard
to support you.

I know that.

But why are you saying this?

You're starting to scare me.

Ha-ri.

Can it be my turn now?

It's time for you to help me.

You know my dream was to be a patissier.

I want to try that again.

Before it's too late

and before I get any worse,

I want a new start.

What do you mean, "worse"?

You're not treating people badly
like you do to me, are you?

Of course not.

Just forget that.

But you'll help me, won't you?

This is it.

If I miss this chance,
I'll never be able to tell her.

I should tell her the truth.

Kang Ha-jeong.

Live your own life now.
I'll help you as much as I can.

You mean it?

Really? Hang on.

I should enroll in classes
and buy an oven and stuff.

Thank you, Ha-ri!

Goodness.

I can't believe it.

I'm screwed.

What are you doing?

I'm sorry, sir,

but you'll have to get to work
a bit late today.

I'll get a company car here right away.

Why?

It seems like someone played a prank.

A prank?

Let's check the dashcam.

You…

I'm feeling a bit stiff today.

Mr. Kim…

How about a round of morning golf?

Yes, sir.

I'll make the preparations.

{\an8}UNDER REPAIR
WILL BE COMPLETED SOON.

I'm not hitting the ball well today.

I need to hit the sweet spot
to get that satisfying feel.

License plate number 9007.

Let me tell you something
that you should keep in mind.

Wait, is it a lease, or does he own it?

He rents.

You rent?

Then you'll understand even better.

You're renting, so that apartment unit
belongs to someone else.

The real owner.

Listen carefully.

In our apartment complex,

there are a bunch of idiots
who think this place is theirs

just because their name is written
on the documents.

But this apartment complex…

Is mine…

And anyone who messes with
what's mine on my own turf…

Is dead meat.

It's all right.

And if you drop this, you're dead.

Sir!

All right…

I'm swinging for real this time.

No! Sir!

Those young mothers,

they're so disrespectful.

And that car owner
has zero parking etiquette.

Can I really just sit back
and ignore this kind of chaos

in my apartment complex, my camellia?

Should I just become the building rep
and set this place straight?

My dear residents of True Value State…

If I become the building representative,

I will take care of all the disorder

in this apartment complex

and make this a place where common sense

prevails!

{\an8}Thank you!

{\an8}CANDIDATE REGISTRATION FORM.

That's it.

Right?

You're home.

Yeah.

Hey.

What?

How many times do I have to tell you

not to wear that jacket?

It's our university jacket.

Are you proud of that?

Are you proud of attending
a university like that?

How can you not be ashamed at all?

I'm going to run
for building representative.

You should think about my position too.

"You should think about my position too."
What are you even saying?

Hey!

Stop wearing that jacket, okay?

I feel so dizzy.

CANDIDATE REGISTRATION FORM

You've been staring at that application
for hours.

I told you, no one cares.

You can just make up half of it.

- Geez.
- He's right, sir.

This isn't a real election anyway.

How about saying
you graduated from Stanford University?

Stamp? What university is that?

It's the one I want my son to attend.

Let's say he led a soccer club,

an alumni association,
and a merchants' association.

Wait.

That's a violation of election law.

I didn't expect that of him,
but he's really uptight.

I think we should show more sincerity.

I have to be honest.

Write that I only have a GED.

- Wait, that's…
- Okay, then for your experience…

"Former Strategic Planning Team member
of Oasis Group,

"and current CEO of HK Trading
and Investment." Nice, right?

But sir, there's no sincerity.

Really? Then how about this?

"Served as operations chief
and enforcer for the Oasis g*ng,

then became the boss.

"Currently retired." How about that?

If I reveal the fact that I was in a g*ng,

it'll only scare the residents.

You're right.

Let's go…

With a self-made entrepreneur vibe.

Perfect. We're almost there.

What about your campaign promises?

Say I'll improve this apartment complex.

Improve it how?

I'll make this
a very good apartment complex.

Oh, my arm. Goodness.

Just write it down.

- What do I write?
- What he just said.

The photo studio's ready, sir.

All right, let's begin.

One, two, three.

Lower it a bit.

Here we go.

All right. That's good.

- Great.
- Looking good, sir.

- You really suit a building rep.
- They're so excited.

MANAGEMENT OFFICE

Three months.

I'll become the president,
take the fund and flee in three months.

Hello. May I help you?

Hello.

Do I apply for building rep here?

Yes.

Okay.

You're from Building 114.

DISTRICT 6
CHA YUN-JO

DISTRICT 4
SHIN BONG-SU

Do you live alone?

Why?

Is there a problem with that?

It's not that.

People running for building representative
are usually heads of households

or members of three-generation households.

I've never seen anyone living alone

run for building representative.

You must be quite invested
in your living conditions.

But it doesn't mean
you can't register as a candidate.

I'll come back later. I forgot something.

Let's go.

My daughter-in-law sent me some cash
because she got a raise.

I'll treat you to coffee.

- Congratulations.
- Don't be silly.

Wait up!

I've never seen anyone living alone
run for building representative.

I only just realized…

That an apartment complex is
a community of families living together.

Salute!

I overlooked the fact that
communities like this

don't tolerate anything unusual.

At this rate, I'm going to fail for sure.

Oh, my stomach. Hey, you're back.

My stomach.

What? What are you doing?

It seems like
you were just stalling for time,

but that won't work on me.

What's with you? Let me go.

What's going on, sir?

Have you ever seen
a single man becoming the president?

Have you?

No, I haven't.

You fraud. I knew it.
Should we hang him off the roof again?

Lots of people live alone these days,

so I thought it'd be fine.

Wait, Mr. Park.
I really need to use the bathroom.

Thanks. Hang on.

A family.

We need a family
to take that repair reserve fund.

A family?

Yes, an ordinary family.

Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa.
People like that.

Most households are families
in this apartment complex.

No one will vote for some strange man

living alone with three other men.

Where could we acquire a family?

I'll get it.

A family.

I think the hotel wedding team sent this.

They said they'd frame
the wedding photo and send it.

This must be it.

The photo came out great.

Should we hang it in the living room?

Hey, why would we hang this
in the living room?

It's not like he really got married.

Take that to the balcony.

They really look like a couple, though.

- They look like newlyweds.
- Look.

The photo's nice.

You look so handsome.

We're going to…

Recruit this woman as my wife.

Is this the place?

Yes, the stand-in service owner

refused to give me her number
because of privacy laws,

so I had to pay them for it.

When I tracked her location,
it came up as a law firm in this building.

As someone working in law,
let me tell you something.

Stay on the right side of the law.

So she's a lawyer?

What if she really is a lawyer?

She has a decent job with good pay.

She'd have no reason to be your fake wife.

Then why did she do the bride gig?

Five million won.

Deal.

Money.

She'll be persuaded with money.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

- Thank you.
- No problem.

There's no lawyer named Kang Ha-ri.

I'm sure it's this place.

FREE LEGAL CONSULTATION

{\an8}WEE PARTNERS
FREE LEGAL CONSULTATION APPLICATION.

I just…

Touched it
because I thought it was my own leg.

You must be surprised too.

But that's the truth.

I got confused.

You were confused about your own leg?

It was an accident.

I just touched her leg by accident.
That's not sexual harassment.

I just got played by a gold digger.

But you know,

it was all filmed on a security camera.

Here.

{\an8}The woman next to you was dozing off,

{\an8}and you were groping her thigh.

There's no way out of this.

You should just admit it,

apologize and reach a settlement.

Are you blind?

What makes you think I was groping her?

Settlement? Are you kidding me?

I'm suing her for false accusations.

Sir,

the law isn't something
you can take lightly.

Are you taking her side
because you're a woman too?

Sir.

I'm not taking sides or trying to argue.

- As you can see in the footage...
- Miss.

Honestly, if she was exposing
her bare legs like that in public,

isn't she partly responsible?

She was asking for it.

So it's not fair
to call that sexual harassment!

Not fair? You disgusting pervert!

What? "Disgusting pervert"?

Some countries flog sex offenders
before imprisoning them.

Do you know what flogging is?

It's when someone is beaten

with full force for showing disrespect
toward the law and women.

Guys like you should be beaten up,

you filthy piece of trash!

Trash?

Do you have a death wish? How dare you?

Let me give you a slap.

You need to learn a lesson.

Who's this jerk?

I have urgent business
with this woman here.

So will you excuse us?

One, two…

How did you...

Let's talk for a moment.

Sir, please use the next counter
for your consultation.

Miss Kang, we need to talk. Right now.

Follow me.

Do I have to put up with an as*h*le
if he's a customer?

Watch your language.

I have human rights too, you know.

Right, sure.

But before that

let's discuss your performance.

None of your consultations
have led to actual cases.

The consultations I handled
didn't really require formal cases, so I...

Are you a lawyer?

Well, no, but…

Didn't you say the free consultations

are part of Wee Partners'
social contribution efforts?

Even social contribution programs
come with expenses.

Miss Kang, you are terminated as of today.

What?

Clear out your desk.

Article 23 of the Labor Standards Act

states that an employer shall not dismiss,
suspend, transfer or otherwise discipline

a worker without just cause.

Did you forget that
you're working at a law firm?

Everyone here knows
the Labor Standards Act.

If you feel this is unfair,
you can report it.

I…

I just got fired.

What do I do?

Do you have some money?

Can't you dip into your savings
for the sake of our friendship?

No, I didn't mean it.

I told my sister to do what she wanted.

I'm screwed.

I was waiting for you, Miss Kang Ha-ri.

How did you know my name?

And my workplace?

I had to meet you, so I asked around.

Did you know that leaking personal data
may be punishable

by up to 5 years in prison
or a fine of up to 50 million won?

And if you've obtained
personal information

through improper means

or used information
learned in the course of your duties

for other purposes,
you may be subject to up to three years…

Keep going.

Never mind.

What did you want to say?

Let's work on something together.

Why would I do that?

Play the role of my wife for three months.

Play the role of what?

My wife.

Just think of it
as another stand-in service gig.

No.

Aren't you in need of money?

I'm always in need of money.

Well, I need you and you need money.

It'll be a win-win situation.

I don't need your money.

Why not?

Because it's dirty money?

I don't know why you need a wife,

but I'm sure it's shady work
with shady money.

Let me ask one thing.

Are you in a g*ng?

It's pretty big, right?
I saw all those guys at the wedding.

Let me be clear.

I've retired,

but even after we retire,
we attend important events for each other.

- So you're not in a g*ng anymore.
- What?

Still, my answer is no.

As someone working in law,
I don't want to get involved with you.

I believe you're no longer working in law.

I'll excuse myself first.
I hope we don't meet each other again.

Do you care about background
even when it comes to money?

Money doesn't have
a good or bad education,

or differences
in social status or occupation.

Money is just money. Why would you refuse?

A hundred million.

A hundred million for three months.

I'll give you 30 million
as a down payment right away.

Did he say 30 million?

With that, I could help Ha-jeong

and not have to worry about money
for a while.

Are you mad?
What the hell are you thinking?

You want to accept his money?

Get a grip!

Deal.

I CAN DO IT!

Whatever.

{\an8}KANG HA-RI'S BANK ACCOUNT


It's only three months.

Just think of it
as a long-term stand-in service gig.

You can do it, Kang Ha-ri!

Let's do this!

Sir, did she really…

Say "deal" and agree to it?

She'll do anything for money.

It makes things easier.

So we got a wife.

You're keeping an eye
on the Lizard, right?

Yes.

I was just doing some fortune reading.

I'll stop.

I'll clean this up. It's messy.

My socks.

What is it? Say something.

Just tell me.

Be my father.

If you play the role of my father

and cooperate
until I become the president,

I'll clear all your debt.

You're a wanted man,

so you have nowhere to go anyway.

Deal.

Wait.

Do I get a bonus if we succeed?

I'll let you live.

I knew it was my lucky day today,

Of course I miss you.

So did you brush your teeth or not?

Let me see.

Make sure to brush your teeth well,
or you'll get cavities.

Hey, Gyeong-buk. It's Uncle Hae-kang.

Uncle!

You've gotten
even more handsome, Gyeong-buk.

You should greet him properly.

I have to get back to work now,

so listen to your grandma and go to bed.

Goodnight, Dad.

Gyeong-buk's grown so much.

He seems to grow every day.

You must miss him.

Well, I have no other choice.

Let's bring him here.

What?

Let's raise him as my son
until our project's over.

You said you wanted him
to attend Stanford University.

Then he should learn English.

How long will you keep him
stuck in the countryside?

He can't learn any English there.

This is a good opportunity for him.

Let's send him…

To an English kindergarten.

An English kindergarten?

The preparations are complete.

It's time to begin.

FAMILY PHOTO sh**t
MODEL APPLICATIONS

Sir…

I brought coffee.

- Big Guy.
- Right.

Are you an artist or what?

Don't be so rude.

I'm going for a retired artist vibe.

Don't I look cool?

I was popular among the ladies
when I was young.

I'll win over the elderly women

and help you secure the election.

Superman!

Uncle!

Gyeong-buk!

When did you get so big, kiddo?

Uncle.

I missed you so much.

I missed you too, kiddo.

He didn't even give his own dad a kiss.

I feel upset.

He was always so nice to Gyeong-buk.

Gyeong-buk!

Let me carry…

I can't now. You carry him.

You're so cute.

But Mr. Park's wife hasn't arrived yet.

What if she doesn't turn up?

She could've just taken the money.

She'll come.

I'm sure of it.

She'll come for the remaining amount.

It's already been ten minutes.

It's a princess.

Sorry I'm late.

As you see, I had to put in some effort.

How about a brief introduction?

You met them at the wedding. My employees.

Gyeong-buk, come here.

This is our son, Gyeong-buk.

I have a son?

You never mentioned that.

I'm introducing him to you now.

You're so pretty.

Uncle, I like her.

Nice to meet you. I'm Gyeong-buk.

Nice to meet you.

And this…

I'm your father-in-law.

Since everyone's gathered now,
let's take the photo.

Bonjour, charming lady.

Is everyone ready?

- Yes.
- Yes.

You're a family, aren't you?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Your configuration is a bit awkward.

- Okay.
- I can move.

Let's go with option two, then.

I'll sit on this side.

If it's your first family photo,
you might feel a bit awkward.

You're leaving a lasting memory,
so let me help place you.

- The grandfather?
- Yes?

Please sit in the armchair.

- Here?
- Yes.

Right. I did think it was weird.

Move.

He told me to sit here.

And the father and mother.

Sit on the loveseat.

The father can sit in the middle.

Oh, I'm the mother.

And our little prince.

Why don't you sit on your dad's lap?

My nephew, you should sit with your dad.

He loves his uncle.

Right.

And the others, stand in the back.

All right. One, two, three.

One last time, everyone.

One, two, smile!

I'm going to win.

I'll win no matter what.

I'll win and save Yong-man
and protect my guys.

I'll make sure of it.

Dad! Mom!

Grandpa! Uncle!

Hurry up!

THE APARTMENT JOB

I'm Park Hae-kang.

I'm Jang Suk-jin.

You're quite handsome.

Was having three candidates
part of your perfect plan?

What do you think, Mr. Kim?

Do you think Park Hae-kang
can be a diligent worker for True Value?

"I'll be a diligent worker
for True Value."

How exactly do you plan on doing that?

- I'll take care of this problem!
- Win-win!

Deliveries will be sorted by building

and handed over directly
after verifying the recipient.

Delivery!

Everyone can just take
their own packages home.

How long will they keep this up?

"Request to discontinue
the delivery service"?

The proof of delivery photos look fine.

Boss, this is Candidate Jang's place.

She's going negative
over a building rep election?

Let's take down.

Jang Suk-jin.
