Itaewon Class (이태원 클라쓰)

ALL CHARACTERS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, AND INCIDENTS

PORTRAYED IN THIS DRAMA ARE FICTITIOUS

Are you crying?

How did you know I'd be here?

You're

quite predictable, you know.

Hyun-yi, I...

I want to be alone now.

I think this is my first time seeing you cry.

You can actually cry.

I said I want to be alone.

You got rejected, right?

I guess it was expected.

He probably said work keeps him too busy

or use Geun-soo or his age as an excuse.

He has many excuses.

What?

You heard?

It's just obvious.

Just try to understand him. He's old-fashioned, you know.

So what will you do now?

About what?

About Saeroyi.

Are you going to give up?

EPISODE 12

We came in second once again.

I gave you two chances,

and you failed both times.

What's your excuse?

I apologize, sir. I don't have any excuses.

I can't fire you over this.

But what am I going to do about my anger?

So it's the final round, right?

If we don't win this time,

Mr. Park Jun-gi will get fired.

I know

you talked about becoming the heir of the company,

but that won't happen if he gets fired.

Then,

give me the authority.

-"Authority"? -Yes.

I'd like full authority over all the matters related to the show.

What?

I have a bottom-level position in the planning team.

What do you think I can do now?

So you're saying you can do

what Ms. Oh can't?

If I was in charge, I'd at least

have no regrets.

Okay, you are in charge.

Ms. Oh, give him all the support he needs.

Yes, sir.

You may leave.

I'm sorry for not consulting you first.

About what?

The show.

I didn't consult you first and put you in an awkward position.

You're volunteering to take responsibility,

so I don't mind.

Thank you for understanding.

But I feel bad for you.

-Pardon? -That conversation.

It wasn't a conversation between a father and son.

Shouldn't you be there for each other in difficult times?

That's what family is for.

The incident with Mr. Park... And today...

You now seem quite different from when you were at DanBam.

-Enjoy. -Here's your stir-fried pork belly.

-Thank you. -Enjoy.

-We'd like one soft tofu stew. -One soft tofu stew?

This is the last bottle. Why isn't the fridge stocked?

Sorry, we didn't order enough soju.

-Go next-door and borrow some. -Okay.

-Coming! -I got this.

You want a break?

You mean, you want to leave DanBam?

Because of yesterday?

Of course not.

I've invested so much in DanBam.

I can keep my emotions separate.

It's just that I've been working nonstop without a day off.

I want to clear my head.

After The Best Pub is over and we get our franchise--

No, that's okay.

You should do it when you need a break.

You've been working very hard.

Go rest up.

Yes, coming.

Don't like me.

I'm such a loser.

I miss him already.

Why don't you take some time off?

They say familiarity can confuse you.

I think you both need to take some time apart and think things through.

I should just go back to work soon.

RESTRICTED

Hello?

Dad.

I wasn't really sure

if I should call you or not.

Even though it's just a son calling a father.

Well...

Ms. Oh told me how you're doing.

Even when you decided to desert me,

I thought, "He had no choice.

I'm sure there was no other way.

His own son is locked up in this hellhole.

He must be heartbroken."

CHAIRMAN JANG DAE-HEE

What is it that you want to say?

Why...

Why must you do this to me?

It's all

for Jangga Co.'s sake.

Did you ask for me?

KOREA'S MANAGEMENT PRIZE JANGGA PUB

I heard DanBam has managed to secure an investment

of nearly ten billion won.

What about it?

They'll use that money to franchise DanBam.

They got wings now,

yet you seem unconcerned.

Wings...

-How much time do we have? -About an hour?

-Shall we take a break? -Sure.

Why did Yi-seo have to take today off of all days?

She's been working nonstop, you know. She deserves some rest.

I'm fine with her taking some time off.

But did she really have to go now?

Saeroyi.

FOR LEASE

"For lease"? What's going on?

-The receiver cannot be reached... -He won't pick up.

It's okay. We don't need that jerk. We still have other investors...

WE ARE CANCELING OUR INVESTMENT WE CAN'T INVEST IN YOU

An investment withdrawal?

WE CANNOT INVEST IN DANBAM

Why?

Why are they withdrawing their investment?

It's natural for them to do this.

The lead investor withdrew the investment, so the others are doing the same.

What's that supposed to mean?

To put it simply,

the others only invested in your brand because they saw the article

saying JM Holdings decided to invest five billion won.

But JM Holdings announced that they're going to withdraw...

-So the other investors... -Withdrew their investment as well.

Then what are we going to do?

We leased out an office, hired new staff, and gathered store owners.

We already spent 500 million won, but we haven't even started yet.

You could've waited until you got the investment.

Why were you in such a rush?

-Well, Yi-seo-- -It was my decision.

Why did that investor suddenly decide to withdraw?

I'm not sure, but this is very malicious.

But there is one person that comes up on my mind...

Tell him to come in.

Mr. Do, you're here.

Hello, sir.

It's been a long time.

Hello, sir. This is Jo Yi-seo, DanBam's manager.

Have you been...

Hello?

All I'm saying is, it's safer to open locations one by one

than to open multiple franchise locations at once.

There's this thing I asked Ho-jin to look into it,

-and I want to think about it. -Then what?

It's not like we can stop the bus once it leaves.

Are you confident?

-Yes. -Okay then.

Let's do it. Because I trust you the most.

-What are you going to do now? -How is this possible?

-What is this nonsense? -This is absurd!

-This is driving me crazy! -How could you?

-I can't believe this! -This is totally crazy!

-Where is that bitch? -Sir, please.

-Please stop. -She said I could trust you

because your brand came out on TV.

I trusted her and borrowed 300 million won!

It was my husband's severance pay!

What are you going to do?

They all withdrew their investment! Now what?

You said you're confident and asked us to trust you.

Look how we ended up after trusting her.

What are we going to do?

Can you take responsibility?

I'm sorry, but please calm down.

-So what if you're sorry? -Our lives are at stake!

An apology won't cut it!

FROM CHAIRMAN JANG DAE-HEE

KNOW YOUR PLACE AND BE SATISFIED WITH WHAT YOU HAVE

Did you

plan all this?

Yes.

Since when?

Since the beginning.

Who would invest five billion won in that tiny pub?

They've lost people's trust,

so not many people will want to invest in them anymore.

And the harder he tries,
