Unemployed Romance (실업급여로맨스)

[Queen of Drama Episode 1]

From the moment of a new bride is introduced...

The father-in-law's mean behavior would start.

Father, are you going out?

Move aside!

Why does he hate her so much?

At the hospital that he's heading

he didn't like that his first son and a nurse's assistant fell for each other.

I see... then he must've been against it from the beginning.

That's right!

Anyway, the highlight of this story is the father-in-law's birthday party.

Hello.

People pointed at the daughter-in-law who had been holding it all in

so she couldn't keep it in anymore and exploded.

Exploded? Does she set the house on fire?

Just wait a little.

'I can't take it anymore.'

'If you really can't accept me, then I'll give up my husband and get a divorce.

She cried and told him.

This is driving me nuts, too!

The father-in-law didn't hate her after all...

Do you really not know why?

I thought I could have you this way.

Because you're my girl!

Because he loved her...

I loved you from the moment I saw you.

so he confessed.

That it could happen. He's a parent, but he's single, too.

He met her before his son did.

Daughter-in-law, I mean, Honey!

But when she was about to walk into the room to calm herself down...

Don't do that!

- Why not? - You're crazy! Crazy!

A little bit more?

Don't do it!

She saw her sister-in-law and her husband in bed!

She asked how brother and sister could do such a thing...

Her sister-in-law would say with no shame.

'We're not really brother and sister.'

'Since our parents got married, we had no choice but to be siblings.'

She'd protest saying, 'our love is pure just like in 'Autumn in My Heart.'

Our love is pure like in 'Autumn in My Heart.'

I'm sorry.

The father-in-law's love confession

and the love between her husband and her sister-in-law on top of that...

It's aggressive! Aggressive!

What's aggressive? We've heard it all before.

You've heard it before?

He's right. It's similar to one from a year ago.

Really? When did they make it?

You should have at least checked if the material would overlap.

Then... what about the husband demanding a divorce because he likes another guy?

That's good!

- That's done, too. - That, too?

They have a long history. It's rare to find something that's not been done.

How can you not even know as much as the assistant writer does?

Excuse me. We're imitators for sure, but how can you plagiarize?

You should at least have writer's principle!

I messed up.

That's why your keyboards get broken all the time.

It's not like you're playing games, I

wondered what went wrong with your keyboards.

It was time for a breakdown, so it died naturally.

Who uses this type of computer these days anyway?

Were you upset earlier because of Producer Lee?

He has a mean way of saying the same words, doesn't he?

You talked bad about me too.

What do you mean? I just listened.

What do you want from me now?

Wow, you're really fast.

If you wrote like how you're fast, you'd be a great writer by now.

Writer Im...

Let's make a pilot program together.

I don't want to.

How can you say 'I don't want to' so fast? You haven't even heard me yet.

It's not like you'll pay me more if I work more.

You convinced me of regular pay and put me on salary.

So how can you ask me to do everything?

But you still get four insurances.

I still get health insurance off of my parents.

She's right. Since you were a founding member of Botari Production

I was really being considerate to you.

If you were more considerate, I could become homeless.

I'll grow the company and give you a stake.

Will you have a debt party?

Stop this, Writer Im.

Did you forget our company motto?

You make it and make exactly one penny.

Productions are all investments.

If this one gets slotted a regular schedule, I'll give you a big raise!

Just pay me on time.

You'll do it, right?

You'll do it, Writer Im?

It's a reenactment program about fraud incidents.

Fraud incidents?

We could make the first episode about you.

Writer Im!

You don't know I'm preparing something for you.

You told me when you first started here.

You said you wanted to be the queen of dramas.

I'm trying to make you the queen of dramas...

so I'm planning a killer project.

Not a reenactment, but a real drama like a mini-series.

You are?

I'll tell you soon.

So let's make the pilot program a good one.

I have to go meet someone to research the drama now.

What is it about?

Casino. Gambling. And human desire.

And a fateful love that blooms out of those.

Sounds good.

It's almost time, so I have to go. Let's talk longer about it next time.

Writer Im...

Cheer up.

Drama...

Hi.

Didn't you say you got a condo in Gangwon Province to write?

The place wasn't nice, so I just came back.

Hey, did you take all my espresso?

Yeah.

You should've had something else.

I'm sorry.

We share the same space, so I'm not so mean as

to stop you from taking something like that.

But you know that's the only thing I drink, so how can you finish it?

You drink whatever anyway.

Yes, I drink whatever.

By the way, where are you coming from at this hour?

I had a brainstorming meeting at the production company.

Did you get anything confirmed?

No, something similar was already done by someone else.

My goodness. How did you make such a mistake. That's basics.

I know.

Anyway, that must've been embarrassing in front of the producer.

But still, consider yourself lucky.

People are really sensitive about things like that for mini-series.

Should I go get you some coffee?

I'd appreciate it... but I feel bad.

I drank it, so I should be sorry.

Hot!

So dirty.

She must be crazy.

When we first got the office, the opportunity came to me .

[Scenario/drama-related contests for the second half of 2010]

Co-writer of an omnibus drama planned by a famous writer.

Seon Joo, coffee please.

Okay.

The table was set and someone was feeding me on top of that.

It was an opportunity that was hard to mess up.

But I hurt my arm at that important moment

Seung Hee... it's time for your medication.

And the opportunity went to Seon Joo.

Our fates changed like that...

Seon Joo became Dear Writer

and I became Writer Im that would write anything for money.

Seung Hee, a cup of coffee please.

Thanks.

The reason Seon Joo is sharing space with me

when she can easily find her own place...

must be because of that.

Because she's having the life that I was supposed to have.

But I don't hate Seon Joo.

In fact, all my misfortunes started with that bastard.

Jong Dae!

Excuse me... Jong Dae!

Jong Dae!

What now, sis?

Seung Hee, are you at your place now?

Why?

Let me sleep there tonight.

What? You had a fight with your husband again?

You don't need to write about other things. You should write about me!

My story is perfect for the material of love and demise!

What is it?

He went to a room salon again. Do you know what he said?

He said he just chatted with the girls.

Then that's what he probably did. Can't you just trust him?

Don't joke around, that man? Do you know his nickname?

It's hand rag! He has really bad manners with his hands.

You think he just chatted with those whores?

When we dated... he was so persistent on touching me...

I'm going crazy!

I thought it was out of love back then!

Anyway, go home.

How can you come from Daejeon to Seoul every time you have a fight with him?

Seriously, you!

And... he doesn't look for you because you bring out the kids with you.

You should leave the kids, then he'll look for

you because it's too much to take care of them.

He's not even qualified to become a father.

And I can't be at ease leaving the kids with him, either.

It's bad for their education!

Sis, you have kids in the back, right?

The way you're talking right now is bad for the kids' education, too!

Anyway, I won't go home like this. I'll be there, so wait for me.

Where do you think you're coming?

Let me sleep in a corner of your place!

It's not a space just for myself, so where do you think you're coming!

Hey, it's only us sisters without parents under the sky

so how can you do this to me?
