I Have Not Done My Best (Ajik Choisuneul Dahaji Anatseul Bbun / 아직 최선을 다하지 않았을 뿐)

- Good morning. - Hello.

Good morning.

Hi, have a good day.

Hey.

You went to the spring? But it's not Tuesday.

Have a good day at school.

My dear granddaughter.

I'll see you later.

Watch out for cars.

Okay.

What are you doing home at this time of day?

Oh, right.

You closed down the barbershop.

Without discussing it with me.

Gosh.

The only thing that hasn't changed...

...is my prostate.

It feels weird that...

...you're at home at this time of day.

What are you doing?

Young people who badly need these clothes...

...should wear them.

That'll make me feel good.

In technical terms,

it's called reselling.

You don't have anything to do?

Over here. Come on down.

There we go.

Are you okay there?

Now I understand how Geum-pil...

...must have felt.

He's having an affair, isn't he?

You can't be sure yet.

Are you kidding?

He secretly texts someone in the bathroom.

It's obvious.

It's the beginning of an affair. How obnoxious.

But he's been a devoted husband.

I can't believe it.

I hate that I have to wait until next week.

It ended with such a cliff-hanger.

- As do all the other dramas. - You're right.

Oh, my.

He and his son are now...

...taking turns to sit out here doing nothing.

Does being jobless run in his family?

Is it genetic or what?

He might hear you.

Whether young or old,

men should go out to work.

Otherwise, they'll just look pathetic.

Look. He already does.

Hi. Hello.

Dad!

Hey.

You're going out now?

Even if you don't have anything to do,

don't just sit out here.

People will think...

...you'll make the house prices fall.

I was appalled when I saw you from home.

- Now, I'm going to go make money. - Hey.

That...

That brat.

You know,

I've worn them only once, really.

Well, they haven't been washed.

You can't deny that the value of clothes...

...bottoms out once they're washed.

Can you knock off 10,000 won?

Come on, don't do this.

You said you'd buy them in person...

...without canceling or nitpicking,

so I'm giving you an amazing price.

It's 170,000 won for all of them.

That's ridiculously cheap, and you know it.

They smell like an old man.

Knock off 10,000 won.

Okay.

I'll give you some free french fries.

Well, all right. 160,000 won without the fries.

Give me the money now.

Do you think it's okay to sell used goods...

...when you're supposed to be working?

I'm sorry.

You're the oldest one on the staff,

and you've worked here the longest.

But instead of setting an example,

you run personal errands--

I'm sorry.

Will you excuse me for a minute?

Hi, Mr. Yoo.

You caught me in the middle of...

...a serious scolding.

Let me call you back in a moment.

Okay.

Please continue, sir.

Just keep your personal matters...

...separate from work.

Yes, understood.

I'm sorry.

Oh, right.

Thank you. It was very useful.

Should I look for a janitor job?

Do you think being a janitor is easy?

You have to socialize well with the residents,

and you must have the ability...

...to grovel to them while keeping your pride.

It's a combination of those three things.

For a grumpy and inflexible man like you,

it's going to be hard.

I'm not grumpy.

Yes, right.

You're rougher than sandpaper.

Why would you want to be a janitor...

...with all those good skills?

Open up a shop someplace else.

It's a great job, you know.

No one will force you to retire,

and you don't have a boss to please.

Geez.

I did buy a house...

...and raise a son and a grandkid...

...with my skills as a barber.

But now,

it's just a relic of the olden days.

Your french fries are...

...tastier and crunchier than others.

Well, when it comes to fries,

I've reached the highest level.

It's like I'm at the top of the mountain.

But with my webtoon,

I'm still climbing and have a long way to go.

I know how tough it is.

I'm sorry I can't help you more.

I wanted to make a fresh start...

...just like when I first became a webtoonist,

but the thorny path to art creation...

...seems so long and tough.

I understand why you feel impatient.

Since I quit my job,

I've been drawing comics and making fries.

More comics and more fries.

Now I'm 44 already.

If I could live to 100,

I've already lived almost half of it.

It'd be great if we could live to 300.

Why 300?

100 years seems...

...too short to really achieve something.

But 1,000 years seems too long.

Can I ask how old you are?

I'm 34.

I see.

If we could live to 300,

we'd finish compulsory education at 60,

and start working at about 80.

You're 34,

so you'd still be in grade school,

and you'd have...

...266 more years to live.

So you'd have absolutely no reason to rush.

Who knows? Maybe we'll live to 300.

You don't know how long you'll live, right?

You're right.

300 years of life.

If we could live to 300,

we'd all be able to be free...

...just like those birds.

That bird is flying funny.

That's a drone, Mr. Nam.

I see.

Excuse me.

I'll take a basket of sweet potatoes.

- Thank you. - Sure.

Thank you.

Shouldn't you go home?

Not until I sell all these.

All right.

I hope they sell out quickly.

Actually, I'll take them all.

But they'd be over 20,000 won in total.

It's fine. I'll take them all.

I have a lot of money.

See?

You also sell the stems.

Blanched sweet potato stems taste great,

but I don't know how to make it.

I'll just take the sweet potatoes.

What's all that?

I sold my clothes and bought these.

It's called creative economy.

Are these sweet potatoes a gift to yourself too?

They're not just any sweet potatoes.

Don't judge them just because...

...they're a simple, common vegetable.

Oh, yes?

Then how should I think of them?

Sweet potato inspired me for my first webtoon...

...and helped me win the contest with it.
