01x01 - Episode 1

[bunniefuu]

I'm the owner here.

My name's Linda.

If life's giving you a major headache,

we have a top-notch team
that can handle any problem.

Like if you're getting ganged up on.

- Hey!
- Hey!

Hey.

As for the fee,
please settle it with Linda at the club.

Or maybe you live alone
in an isolated house

after your husband passed away,

and you want someone

to walk past your house
so you won't feel lonely.

When there's a problem, a Crow handles it.

Whether it's a personal problem
or a family problem,

our Crow Club can handle it.

Eat up, dear.

It makes me so happy.

From now on,
I'm like one of your own, Ma'am.

If you ever want to go somewhere,

or see a doctor at the hospital,

or visit a temple to make merit
and find some peace,

I'll take you there myself.

Thank you for using our service.

If you ever have another problem,
don't forget us.

If your life's gone wrong
and you need someone to fix it,

you've come to the right place.

This is The Crow Club.

The Crow Club.
We handle every problem we're hired for.

- Did you get your order yet?
- Here. Just a sec.

- All set.
- Thank you.

- Let's go.
- Let's go.

Come on.

I haven't ordered yet.

You will.

I've seen you drink
the same thing for over a week.

I remember.

You're a romance novelist?

I thought you wrote
mysteries or m*rder stories.

Why? Don't I look sweet enough?

You haven't typed a single word, though.

LOVE TILL DUST AND DAWN

Is it brain fog?

The doctor said it is common
in people experiencing burnout.

It's not that I can't type.

I'm waiting for the perfect idea.

If you're really stressed,

why not try something sweet?

Ranne, you brought us out here.

At least try to look like
you're having fun.

How am I supposed
to have fun in this situation?

Come on.

It's Halloween, so let's just have
as much fun as we can.

Hey,

I just brought all of you here
to have some drinks.

Didn't you hear what the label
and the manager said today?

- Huh?
- What did you say?

You think I didn't hear?

You think we're f*cking deaf?

"If you don't pass
the evaluation this time,

I'm afraid I'll have to say
I'm sorry in advance."

"And your boy band will have to…"

- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.

You'll really be saying bye-bye soon

if you keep this up.

You always make fun of them.

We should give up, Bro.

No one gets to follow their dreams 100%.

Look, Saw.

We've come this far already.

Don't give up so easily.

But if we've really reached the end,

let's accept the truth.

You know the four of us
aren't that appealing to the label.

- What the hell?
- He sings so damn well,

but he's got his back to the audience.

Is he crazy?

They did say this place
was full of weird stuff.

But this guy is really weird.

I didn't think it'd be this weird.

Your drinks are here.

Excuse me.

- Hey, you okay? Have a drink.
- Here are your drinks.

And here are some tissues
to wipe off your makeup.

Oh, you can wipe your mouth too.

Thank you very much.

- This place really is weird.
- Come on, cheers!

Cheers!

Hello, boys.

Wow, did you guys
just come from a butcher shop?

What's good here, sweetheart?

Well, if you ask me, we have, um…

- Steak, papaya salad.
- Ah.

Since you're a monkey, you probably
like fruits and vegetables, right?

We have salad too.

That's right. Hey!

Were you filming up my skirt?

Didn't your parents teach you
that doing that makes you a scumbag?

Damn it!

Hey, sweetheart.

Aren't you going too far?

You're dragging my parents
into this over something like that?

Seriously, if you didn't
want me taking pictures,

then maybe you shouldn't
dress like that, huh?

Right, Bro?

He's got a point, hasn't he?

Awesome!

Things aren't looking good tonight.

Someone's probably going to get hurt.

You should head home.

Okay.

You f*cking took pictures
of my sister's underwear?

Yes, he took pictures
of my underwear, Tangmo!

Yeah, so what the f*ck are you gonna do?

Surround him.

Give it to him!

Get him!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Get out!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

Get out! Get out! Get out!

- Get out, as*h*le!
- Hey, don't! I'll handle it.

You think you're so tough, huh?

- Guys!
- Calm down. Calm down.

Don't fight.

- Calm down. Calm down.
- Let me go!

- Let him go. I'll handle him.
- He harassed Mimi.

- Go. I'll handle it. Go, go!
- I told you.

- He's a customer.
- I saw what he did to Mimi.

- What if Linda gets mad?
- What did I do wrong?

Look what you did.

Are you f*cking with me? You're dead!

- Oh, sh*t.
- Oh, sh*t.

You f*ck!

My Mamenchisaurus!

Do you have any idea how many months
I spent looking for this model?

You pig demon…

- Vann! Calm down. Calm down!
- Hey, back off!

You f*cking broke my stuff!

as*h*le!

- How dare you break my stuff!
- Talay, that's enough!

- Keep talking sh*t!
- Linda! Hey!

Stop!

- Linda!
- Everyone, calm down!

Please don't fight--

- Calm down!
- Hey, enough!

HANDSOME, TALL, POLITE

BUT WHEN ENRAGED, HE'S LIKE A VOLCANO

I'd like to report perverts secretly
filming women at The Crow Club.

And…

someone dined and dashed,
so there's been a little trouble.

Please take care of it.

Yes. Thank you.

You!

Get down!

Where's your phone?

Hey, give me my phone back!

I'll sue you for every cent!

This f*cking place!

You all f*cking suck!

I'll get you for this! Ow, that hurts!

That's enough.
You secretly filmed a girl in my club.

There's a price to pay for that.

Talay.

Close up the club
and take care of everything.

Phatee.

Go deal with the police.

Tangmo.

Deal with these guests.

Vann.

Clean up the club.

And today,

all of you are paying for the damage.

But I lost a dinosaur too.

We're closed for today.

Everyone, please head home.

- That was fun.
- What was fun about that?

- Thank you for coming to the show today.
- Thank you.

Come back another day, boys.

Sure.

- We're sorry.
- Bye-bye.

Guys,

this place has a secret team
that can solve any problem for us.

As long as we can pay them…

That's it.

We're closed.

You should head home for today, writer.

Want anything?

She hired us to make her ex jealous,

but they f*cking got back together.

You have to play my new boyfriend
to help me rub it in my ex's face.

What's this?

I brought my new boyfriend
to show off to you.

This cat-eared guy?

Is your face so ugly
you're afraid to show it?

I'm just being considerate.

The difference in our looks
is just too big.

Hey, you got a smart mouth?

Stop, stop, stop!
Don't do anything to Ton.

You're protecting me
from this cat-eared guy?

I just want you to stop fighting with me.

Oh, sorry, Bro.

Oh?

Come on, let's go inside, Nim.

Oh, what about today's job?

Oh, it's done.

- You can go home.
- Huh?

If this leaves a scar,
I'll charge you till you're broke.

Oh, nothing.

I just ran into someone by the elevator.

I forgot the condoms. I'll go buy some.

You keep reminding me.

I remember the size.

Uh, you need a key card.

- We can go down together.
- Hey.

Do you have the number
for the condo office?

Yeah, I do.

But there doesn't seem to be
any signal in here.

Hey.

Breathe slowly. Don't panic.

There's not much air in here.

I'm… I'm scared.

It feels… It feels like I can't breathe.

Hey! Hey! Calm down.

Hey!

Excuse me! Someone's in the elevator!
Someone's in the elevator!

Excuse me. Can you hear me?

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Calm down!

Breathe. Breathe.

Just breathe. Breathe.

What do I do?

I'll give you mouth-to-mouth.

You pervert! What the hell are you doing?

I was just trying to save you.

Then why did you take my shirt off?

To loosen your clothes
so you could breathe easier.

You hit my old wound.

I should've just let you die.

Why were you gone so long?

And what happened to your shirt?

Oh.

There was a little problem.

The elevator got stuck.

But it's fine now. It's sorted out.

Well, I'm glad you're okay.

Come here.

What's wrong?

Are you nervous?

Of course I'm nervous.

I've never done this with anyone before.

Why?

Are you… saving yourself for marriage?

No.

I just never had the chance.

You're about to get even more excited.

What?

Don't be shy.

f*ck!

What the hell?

Hey, Kan! Wait! Where are you going?

What the hell?

I just joined. Give me a hint.

- Where do we find this group?
- Someone tell him!

Where can I find this club?
Please tell me.

I need help ASAP!

Where should I go?

THE CROW CLUB

Nugget!

Like this. Spread your wings like this.

Come on. Nugget! Nugget! Nugget!

You think Linda won't see it?

What did you take pity on
and bring home this time?

Hey! Where are you going?

You and that chick
will both get kicked out.

Hey, are you really

going to leave it outside
in the wind and rain?

You heartless jerk.

You named the chick "Nugget."

I'm sure it'll grow up just fine.

Mimi!

Mimi!

Mimi, where are you?

Mi… Hey, where are you going?

A supplier's waiting out back.
Go get the delivery.

I'm going right now.

- Then go!
- But…

Hurry. You're keeping them waiting.

- What's wrong with you?
- My back… My back hurts.

Go!

I'm going. I'm going now.

You go ahead, Linda.

I'll see you off…
until you're out of sight.

Come on! You're keeping
them waiting. Hurry!

What's with her?

Tangmo! Can you get the delivery for me?

Please. I have to hide Nugget.

Please, just for a sec. Thank you.

Vann, you go.

No, I'm researching universities.

You go ahead.

Fine. I'll go.

Yoyeh?

Oh, Tangmo.

Long time no see.

How have you been?

What are you doing here?

I'm delivering beer to The Crow Club.

Today's my first day on the job.

I'm glad to see you.

Once you're done, you can leave.

And don't come here again.

Wait, Tangmo.

Uh… It's just that…

Sis hasn't paid for the order yet.

Here's the bill.

You haven't changed one damn bit.

I'll tell Sis to transfer the money.

As for you, leave and don't come back.

Oh, I'm sweating.

- Can you throw this away for me, Talay?
- Sis…

I'm begging you.
Don't use this beer supplier again.

I don't like them.

He's just delivering beer.
Why don't you like him?

I don't like the delivery guy's face.

- I can't stand him.
- Hey!

He's just making a delivery.

Why do you hate him so much?

Hey, Sis.

You asked, and he wouldn't answer.

I bet those two have a past.

A past?

A past.

What a shame.

If I'd gone down there earlier,
I would've seen Tangmo's past.

Mimi!

- Hey! Don't touch me!
- Calm down.

- Enough.
- Talay, look! He's picking on me!

Enough! I have a headache.

Stop messing around.

God, all this noise.

You do nothing all day.

This one's a total nutcase.

And this one… is hotheaded
and always gets violent.

And don't you smile.

You're no different.

You're supposed to be the leader,

but you're so unpredictable.

And this girl…

You're fine.

As for Phatee…

You…

Look at that guy.

Won't talk, won't listen,
won't do anything.

I'm taking all of you
to a psychiatrist once and for all.

Sis, why do you only yell at us?

You never yell at Vann.

Exactly, Bro.

And you keep calling to check on Vann.

He's graduated from college, Sis.

He's not a kid anymore.

Why?

Just because I don't yell at Vann
doesn't mean I'm not worried about him.

I'm just less worried
about him than you guys.

At least he has a goal.

What goals do you guys have in life?

Tell me. Do you have a goal in life?

I want to be Talay's wife.

Take it easy. Easy.

Mimi.

See? I have a goal now.

Goals are meant to be pursued.

Stop!

- Hey.
- Hmm?

I thought our bar was weird enough,

but the customers are even weirder.

Sis, look over there.

What kind of weirdo brings a typewriter
to type at a bar every single day?

But… I've never seen him type anything.

Just typing away at nothing?

Yeah.

At first, I thought he might like Sis.

Or if not, he must like you.

But then I realized that wasn't it.

I think he likes me more.

Mimi.

I'm begging you. Tone it down a little.

You don't have to get jealous.

Sun, when the hell are you sending
the manuscript?

I've put my neck on the line for you
to push back the deadline.

I can't do it anymore.

Come on, I'm almost done writing it.

I'll definitely send it to you.

When you say that,

I'm sure you haven't
written a single word.

Are you really going to
let yourself fall off this far?

You used to be a romance novelist
with sky-high sales.

Don't say "used to" to me.

I still am.

But if you're still stuck,

"used to" is exactly what you'll be.

Look. Hurry up and find some material
to write about.

The publisher can't give you
much more time.

Otherwise,
they'll terminate your contract.

The usual?

Any other requests?

I'd like to request you.

They say The Crow Club takes secret jobs
and can solve any problem,

as long as the client has money.

Is that true or just bragging?

Did you secretly research the club?

You must've seen it
in the runaways' community chat.

I just happened to hear about it.

So, can you really solve anything?

Pretty much anything.

But anything beyond human ability,

like making things disappear
or bringing people back to life,

or playing wizard,
we don't take jobs like that.

We don't write novels for hire either.

That would be deceiving consumers.

Smoking will make you die sooner.

Candy can k*ll you sooner too
if you eat too much.

True, but at least it's sweet.

Then, what about hiring someone
to get them to fall in love,

or hiring someone to be your lover?

Are those within the scope
of jobs this club takes?

You're the perfect material.

You check all the boxes
for the character in my novel.

I want to hire you.

Mr. Writer, in this bar,
I'm the last person you should hire.

Because I don't believe in "love"

or the silly "destiny"
in your romance novels.

Understand?

- Can I take a photo with you?
- Sorry, but no.

Mr. Singer,

I really like the song you sang.

Did you write it yourself?

I'm forming a band to make our debut.

And I'd like you to join the band.

Sorry.

Wait.

Uh…

How about this?

We can start by being friends.

I'm Ranne.

I'm Ranne.

You've seen us
in the label's trainee clips, right?

Never.

Sorry.

Hello, Kao.

We found him,

the fifth member
to redo the audition with us.

You'll meet him soon.

I believe this time,

my band will actually make our debut.

Ranne.

Hey, you!

Hey!

You pervert! What the hell are you doing?

Vann, what are you doing?

Lonely, little Bro?

Can you guys stop hanging out in my room?

My room isn't a living room.

Your room's the most fun.

It's the youngest one's room.

The youngest, huh?

Come on, we're just
looking for a place to hang out.

You're just looking for somewhere
to eat and make me clean up.

Hey! What are you doing?

Tangmo, enough. Stop messing with him.

So? How was your job today?

Sis said you charged several times more.

Got enough money for Japan yet?

How much could I possibly charge?

I only got a little extra
for getting punched.

I was so f*cking unlucky today.

Just hang in there.

The money for your
Engineering Master's in Japan

is in the millions, right?

If some well-connected kid
hadn't taken the scholarship last time,

I wouldn't be with a bunch
of weirdos like you guys.

Huh? Weirdos?

- Tangmo, get him!
- Weirdos? Eat this popcorn!

I'm not stopping him either.

It's all over the place.

A client will come discuss
a job with you tomorrow.

So meet at the club at ten sharp.

Jobs mean money. Money means jobs.

Our club is pretty damn popular.

I've got a job too.

Me too.

- Did you get one too?
- Yeah.

Yeah.

What?

Is that the only word you know?

Hello. I'm Rakkhun.

I love you too.

Vann.

The client's name is Rakkhun.

Sorry.

I thought it was
love at first sight, like…

meeting someone
and blurting out "I love you."

You look familiar.

Have we met before?

I don't want to take this guy's job.

The first time I met him,
I had bad luck all day.

It's nothing. It's an easy job.

The client just wants you to

negotiate with the ghost
that's following him.

I don't believe in that stuff.
You know that.

Sorry, I'm not taking this job.

Calm down, Vann.

For this job,
the client says money is no object.

If you pull it off,

it might pay for your studies
in Japan until you graduate.

I'm willing to pay whatever it takes.

Just get rid of the ghost
that's following me.

I don't want to be single my whole life.

Come on, be serious.

This isn't funny.
What does this have to do with dating?

I've never seen the ghost clearly,

but every person I date gets haunted

until they all disappear from my life.

Please talk to that ghost for me.

Tell it to get out of my life.

But I don't know how or
what to say to drive out a ghost.

Pick someone else.

But the budget for this job
is one million.

Just get rid of the ghost
that's following me,

and the money is yours.

THE CROW CLUB - EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

I don't like crowds.

At the audition, there'll only be
the label manager

and two board members.

I don't want to be an idol.

When you joined this club,

you said you wouldn't pick
and choose jobs.

Don't you dream
of becoming a singer or musician?

I think going to an audition like this

might bring something new into your life.

Wait!

Hey!

Wait! Hear me out!

I'm asking you
to audition with me just once.

And if our band gets to debut,

then we can talk about the contract later.

I don't like talking to people.

But when you sing,
I don't hear anything else.

I only hear your music and your feelings.

Why?

I don't know.

I've never felt this way before.

Your voice really speaks to my heart.

Aren't you going to greet the client?

This guy is the client?

I don't take clients like him.

Tangmo, talk nicely to your employer.

Sis, you can send me to do construction

or fight the mafia.

But I won't take his job.

Tangmo.

But for this,
you're the only one who can help me.

Why me?

What the f*ck do you want from me?

You're the one I believe
can help us win this competition.

I've got the brains.

You've got the strength.

And most importantly, Tangmo,

I want this money.

Money again?

You ran away from your father
to live alone.

You're struggling with money too,
aren't you?

We're talking ten million here.

If we win, I'll give you half.

And I'm ready to sign a contract today.

I'm not desperate enough to team up
and play a game with you again.

You don't want to team up with me…

or is it actually

that you're angry

because you still love me?

You've got some nerve saying that.

If you don't feel anything for me anymore,

just treat this
like any other client's job.

Be professional.

Or do you still refuse to take it…

because deep down,

you still can't move on from me?

THE CROW CLUB - EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT

You want a realistic partner
more perfect than AI,

with the ability to make the client
fall in love for life.

But next to it, it says
it's only until the novel is finished.

But you specified
that you only want Talay.

Yes.

I've decided to use him as the model
for my novel's male lead.

No one else is a good option.

Talay has top-tier experience,

and he's worked here the longest.

Plus, he gets five stars on every case.

He performs impressively at every level.

I understand.

But maybe not.

Why?

Because every Crow has the right
to decide whether to take a job or not.

So, will you take my job?

I get that you're so short on inspiration
you had to hire me.

But I'm sure it won't work.

I'm just using you as a starting point.

I haven't even decided
where the story will go.

Maybe the character "Talay"

might go from someone
who doesn't believe in love

to someone completely consumed by it.

Me?

Consumed by love with you?

I've never been serious about anyone.

And I've never come close to
anything called love.

Why would you bet the future
of your romance novel on me?

I haven't thought that far ahead.

But I'm sure it'll go well.

Because my writer's instinct
is never wrong.

Love isn't something
you can set up, Mr. Writer.

Between two people,
there has to be… chemistry.

Something that makes your heart race.

Which I don't have.

You're saying that without even trying.

That doesn't count.

Well? Feel that chemistry yet?

How could you tell from a test like that?

May I?

I thought a famous romance novelist
would be a better kisser.

Is it clear now?

We have no chemistry.

It's time for me to let the clients know

whether you'll take the jobs.

I don't mind whether you take them or not.

But I always tell you
before you take a job

that a job is a job,

and clients are nothing
more than revenue figures.

If any Crow gets involved with a client,

they'll be fired.

Are you sure that if we put on an act,

that ghost will be
dumb enough to fall for it?

Then you have to make it convincing
enough for the ghost to believe it.

You usually look so dead inside
when talking to clients.

What's gotten into you, Vann?

From now on, when you're sad,
look at this bracelet,

and think of me instead.

Don't think about anyone else.

Rakkhun! We're still together, right?

Kan came to talk to me.

What do you think I should do?

Why are you scared?

The ghost should be scared of me.
