The first 200 lines.
Kim Do-gyeom.
Today…
you'll be a dead man.
Okay, let go of the knife.
Let go of the knife first.
Okay, I let it go.
All right, calm down.
Wait, wait!
-This is so unfair! -Okay!
SEO YEON-SEO, AGE 29 MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
NUTRITIONIST
"EAT WHAT IS GIVEN"
Today was our one-year anniversary,
but he was feeding another woman.
I went the extra mile to make a reservation at that restaurant.
Damn, that bastard. He was wearing the watch I bought him.
Still, you can't walk around with a knife.
What is that? Is that blood?
Beets. It's beet juice.
What? Now, calm down and tell us what happened.
Take a deep breath.
Exhale.
Beet.
She asked for a beat.
I didn't mean "beat."
I meant beet, a type of root vegetable.
Beets have red pigment that has betaine,
which acts as an antioxidant,
which may help prevent cancer and reduce inflammation.
Oh, right. You said you were a nutritionist.
But why were you chopping beets on your anniversary?
My boss won't eat my sausages.
What?
My freaking boss won't freaking eat my sausages.
Sausages are basically made of 90% or more pork base,
filled with eggs, onions, and Cheongyang chili pepper
among other ingredients,
and pressed tightly into a casing.
But beets, kabocha squash…
Wait, what was this again?
Anyway, since I've been working for this bastard of a boss
with bizarre taste buds, I have tried everything.
But the result has been…
Again.
Again.
Again.
Again!
Again!
Again!
Every day, that bastard wants sausages served at lunch
until I can replicate the taste of the sausage that he had as a kid.
-Every day? -Yeah.
But still, who puts beets in sausages?
What am I supposed to do? I don't even eat sausages.
I've tried every possibility for a boss whose face I've never seen,
but he keeps saying it's wrong.
The reason my boyfriend is cheating on me is because of that bastard.
The son of a bitch who's obsessed with sausages.
-I think she's lost it. -Yeah.
THE NEXT DAY
-What is it today? -What kind of sausage is this?
-It has beets in it. -Yuck.
Beets? Oh, man…
Jeez. Why do the sausages always look like this?
Hey, Kim Do-gyeom!
What did you just…
-Is she mad? -What is wrong with her?
What the hell are you doing?
Killing you with kindness, perhaps?
Well, thank you very much.
Hold on.
I'd like to talk to you about the boss's meals, Secretary Kim.
I don't have much time. Let's talk on our way up.
The doors are closing.
Go on. The food will get cold.
I don't know exactly where to start, but--
Let's break up.
Did you not hear me? I said, let's break up.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing.
But I deserve to know why.
Is it because of that woman?
I saw you at the restaurant I had reserved for us with another woman.
The food there was so good.
Thanks.
It must've been hard to make a reservation there.
Fine, I admit that I missed our anniversary
and made you feel lonely because I was working late.
Even so, how can you cheat--
You think people cheat because they're lonely?
They cheat when they get bored.
What?
Yeon-seo, you know the employees don't eat your sausages, right?
People got sick of eating it after just a few weeks,
but I had to endure it for a year.
What?
This is over. I'm done.
Kim Do-gyeom, you…
The doors are opening.
Thank you for your hard work, Miss Seo.
He's sick of me? I'm boring?
How about this for a little excitement?
How about I take a bite out of you?
Woof, woof.
Again.
My apologies.
I'll make you another.
"Again"?
That bastard sounds just like my boss.
Do it again.
Do it again.
- Again. -Again.
- Again! -Again.
-Again. - Again!
You there.
You, "Again."
Are you calling me?
Yes.
Do I know you?
Does it matter?
I just have something to ask you.
Listen, why don't you just stuff your face with what people give you?
"Stuff my face"?
The taste from your childhood, the unforgettable taste of nostalgia.
Why does any of that matter?
Here's the thing.
Do you know I spent months working overtime,
never seeing my boyfriend,
just so I can make sausages I don't even like
in search of a flavor I've never tasted?
On top of that, I saw him with another woman…
If it weren't for the bastard who's obsessed with sausages,
I could've been a better girlfriend.
And he wouldn't have gotten bored.
So, instead of looking for what you ate as a child, try some other--
I never get bored.
Whether it's the flavors I love or the women I fall for,
I don't get bored.
Never.
Won't you regret this? I don't do this with drunk women.
I don't do this with men whose names I don't know either.
Let's call it a one-day workshop.
Two hundred thousand won?
You lunatic.
You absolute lunatic.
Have you gone insane after that son of a bitch hurt you?
But why? Seriously, why?
"To the CEO's office"?
What for? Am I in the doghouse?
Because of sausages?
CEO'S OFFICE
Instead of making the ex-boyfriend regret dumping me…
He's not in.
SECRETARY KIM DO-GYEOM
Where did he go?
Come in.
Miss Seo Yeon-seo?
Yes, Mr. Kang.
I am Kang Ha-jun.
I am so screwed…
Judging by the look on your face, I guess you really didn't know.
Well, you wouldn't have spoken to me that way if you had known.
Not to your boss…
who pays you.
Was it only worth 200,000 won?
Was I?
What do you mean, "200,000 won"?
So you're pretending not to remember?
That's boring.
What did you say?
I said you might get fired for that.
Well, since you're going to fire me, let me give you a word of advice.
Okay, let's hear it.
Just eat the shit people make for you, you fussy bastard.
And also, give me back my freaking 180,000 won.
You want change?
It wasn't worth 200,000 won. It was 20,000 won at best.
I'm screwed.
So screwed.
All because of this damn sausage.
And because of that damn CEO.
But why is that jerk here?
Am I really getting fired?
I still have installments to pay for Kim Do-gyeom, that bastard's watch.
From today, Mr. Kang will have breakfast with the employees.
From today, Mr. Kang will have lunch with the employees.
From today, Mr. Kang will have dinner--
Are you going to eat all three meals with the employees?
Yes, will that be a problem?
We don't serve sausages for dinner, Mr. Kang.
Then I'll stuff my face with whatever you give me.
It really doesn't matter if I don't get to eat sausages, right?
Enjoy your meal, Mr. Kang.
It feels different seeing you at work,
Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
Sorry?
How do you know Yeon-seo…
I mean, Miss Seo?
I took a one-day workshop.
With Miss Seo Yeon-seo.
"One-day workshop"?
