The Apartment Job (아파트)

THE APARTMENT JOB

I haven't introduced myself properly.

I'm the president of Taesan Construction,

Lee Chung-won.

You seem to be great at finding things,

so what are you looking for here at Taesan Group?

Whatever it is, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it here.

I feel sorry about that.

No, I've already found it.

You have control over True Value's reserve fund.

Come on.

What do you mean?

You got rid of President Seo,

so you're making it difficult for me to use my own money.

I know I shouldn't,

but I'm starting to resent you.

The moment I treat him like an enemy,

the reserve fund goes out the window.

Then can't I just do

what President Seo used to do?

Why don't you

let me become your right-hand man?

My right-hand man?

I'm quite competent.

Of course.

You became the president by planting relics.

Your planning, execution, and acting…

I know how impressive you are.

I'll be better than President Seo.

President Seo was the keeper of my vault.

Deposits, withdrawals,

and moving money around.

My keeper only has one job.

To keep my money safe.

That's

it?

But it's not an easy job.

This place

is filled with parasites eating away at my fund.

They're always asking for things.

Why don't you give me a chance first, then decide?

How would I trust you?

You came to empty out my vault.

I only realized today that the vault had an owner.

And if there's an owner,

I should suck up to them

if I want to get any scraps.

Okay. Then do as you like.

I need to like you to be able to trust you with my key.

I don't work with just anyone.

I can't believe the president here was the penthouse jerk.

You used to say you admired him.

Taesan Construction really is huge.

Just wait and see how I take that key.

THE APARTMENT JOB

It's past dinnertime,

but no one's home yet.

Preparing meals wasn't in my contract.

Darn it.

I can't believe I'm doing this at my age.

Hey, come and eat!

Okay!

You're full of energy after your nap.

- Thank you. - Enjoy.

His wife?

Why are you the president's wife?

What the hell have you been up to?

Ha-jeong, just calm down.

Mr. Park is actually my client...

Client?

This won't do.

I'm going to take this up with your law firm.

You didn't take the bar exam to pretend to be someone's mom.

Why would they waste your talent like this?

Come on. I'll go talk to them.

No, Ha-jeong.

Come on. Hurry up.

Ha-jeong.

Ha-jeong…

I'm not a lawyer.

What are you talking about?

You're not a lawyer?

Let's go.

I'm not.

Kang Ha-ri.

What are you, if you're not a lawyer?

What are you, then?

Tell me! What are you?

Mom… I mean, Ha-ri. Come and eat.

Geez.

Your father-in-law prepared dinner for you.

At least pretend to have a bite.

I don't have an appetite. Eat without me.

Then just come and have some eggs at least…

Hey, you shouldn't have eaten all that by yourself.

Protein is important for growing children.

Fine. Eat.

You're not eating any soup, are you?

The smell.

I'm going home.

Get home safely.

Lizard, did something happen to her?

I don't know. She's been like that ever since picking up the kid.

See that sunken spot on the sofa?

She sat there all day,

blankly staring out the window.

Gyeong-buk, is something going on with her?

She just needs time to herself sometimes.

Don't you even know that?

If he knew, he wouldn't be all alone, would he?

Gyeong-buk's all grown up.

Where are you, Yeong-ju?

I opened a can since I was so frustrated.

You'd better come before I'm done.

A stand-in service?

You're joking, right?

That can't be true.

I was given a job to play the role of Park Hae-kang's wife.

How…

- How… - Ha-jeong.

How could you deceive me like this?

I worked so hard to help you become a lawyer.

How could you do this to me?

I never asked you to!

Just stop. I'm sick of hearing you say that!

Don't do anything anymore.

I know it's hard for you,

so just don't do anything for me anymore!

You're the worst.

You're so shameless.

You're…

Seriously messed up.

Ms. Kang.

Were you crying?

Mr. Park.

My sister practically raised me.

I thought that was only natural,

but it feels like a luxury to me now.

I have a debt like that too.

There's someone

who took me in and protected me instead of my father.

He…

Doesn't want anything in return,

but I still want to repay him.

It's not because I feel indebted,

but because I'm grateful.

It was heartwarming.

However,

do you know that such debts

sometimes give us the motivation to go on?

You're right.

But now,

I'm not even sure if my dream is actually mine

or my sister's.

My failure feels like my sister's failure now.

Isn't it okay to fail?

Why should I fail?

Some things grow clearer when you fail.

You sometimes see things that you weren't able to see before.

Then what did you see after failing?

People.

The people who are protecting me,

and the people I should protect.

So you should take a look at what you see after failing too.

Why are you suddenly sounding so cool?

YEONG-JU

Oh, right. Yeong-ju!

What do I do?

SEOUL JUNGBU DETENTION CENTER

Inmate No. 3417, Park Yong-man, is in the infirmary.

No visitors are allowed due to health reasons.

MR. SON, SEOUL POLICE CHIEF

You asshole. Have you lost your mind?

How dare you come here?

Release Yong-man on medical bail first.

- The money will be ready soon. - It doesn't work that way.

Bring the money first!

He's sick!

The elderly are always sick.

If anything happens to him,

you won't get your ten billion.

Are you out of your mind?

How dare you threaten me like that?

Are you acting like a thug again?

Damn it.

You little brat.

Mr. Park.

Park Hae-kang.

Get a grip.

I can't get him released.

But I'll let him get treatment outside.

Anything else

will be discussed after you bring the money.

The invisible hand is the president of the construction company?

He's something else.

He's taking money from the apartment complex that he built?

How creative.

But shouldn't we report this?

Why don't you report all of us then?

Oh, we were going to do the same thing. Sorry.
