was 151,000 won.

Then what about house prices?

271 square meters in 2018 = 2 billion won -> 2020 = 3.2 billion won

211 square meters in 2018 = 4.2 billion won -> 2021 = 5.2 billion won

79 square meters in 2018 = 2.1 billion won -> 2021 = 3.5 billion won

You can work hard to make money,

but it will never trump capital gains on real estate.

Sir.

You knew about the favorable factors, right?

The prices are up 3-fold compared to 3 years ago.

Yes?

What happened to the forcible execution?

What?

I won't go. I won't vacate this house!

Hey! Nothing's been signed yet.

Stop touching things.

Excuse me! Hey!

You can't do that!

You'll break that!

Hey!

Hey! Wait! Wait!

Oh, no, my bedding!

No! Get out!

Hey!

I said I'm not leaving!

Come on.

Look. We told you we'd force you out if you don't leave.

You should've answered your phone.

I told you I was on a business trip.

I got robbed and lost my phone.

How many times do I have to tell you?

Yes, but that's your problem.

We're doing this legally.

Move.

What are you doing?

- Move. - No, no, no!

Wait, wait, wait!

No, no, no!

Just wait. Don't go. Wait.

- Don't go. Don't go. - What are you doing?

- I really have nowhere else to go! - Stop!

- A plate of boiled pork slices, please. - Okay.

You don't have to.

You said you haven't eaten today.

Don't worry and eat.

Thank you.

Will you really postpone the execution?

Yes, well, after we trade opinions...

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Why did you rent a house with a huge mortgage?

It can be auctioned off, like this.

I don't know much about real estate. The rent was cheap.

Is there no way to get my deposit back?

The landlord has vanished and I can't reach him.

Is that so?

On top of that, I lost my job.

I was working for a magazine.

Then I was told it will be discontinued when I got back.

Oh, no.

Which brings me to the next question.

Can you give me some time until I get a job and a new place?

I heard you also bought the building next to mine.

You must loaded.

So can you please give me more time?

Your pork slices.

Go ahead and eat.

Thank you.

Stop!

Let's go.

Right now?

I knew you'd understand. You have that air about you.

Thank you.

Good work, everyone.

Huh? That's my stuff.

Why is it all out here...?

The eviction execution process is complete. Get in.

What? How can you do this?

You said you'd postpone it!

Me? Nonsense.

I said we'll trade opinions.

Of course, my opinion was "no" from the start.

What?

And what you ate is what you'll get instead of moving costs.

Moving costs?

Bye now.

Stop!

Stop right there, you bastard!

Hey!

- You! - Stop!

How can you do this?

You're horrible!

You blood-sucking dirt bag!

You're skinning a flea for its hide!

You should've told me from the start!

You bought me pork slices

and pretended to be nice!

Excuse me! Where to?

Beats me.

Where should I go?

Where can I go?

Episode 1: A Man Who Buys a House, a Woman Who Lives in a House

Come along. We're almost there.

Tired, right? Come on.

Come inside.

Take a look around.

What do you think? Better than expected, right?

It's 200,000 won with no security deposit.

There's no place cheaper than this.

Make yourself comfortable.

I'll be going now.

Hi, Mom.

How was your business trip?

Why didn't you call? I was worried.

Sorry.

I slept all day because of jet lag.

I see.

How's business? You said your knees hurt.

Have you been to the hospital?

Don't worry about me and take care of yourself.

Come to think of it,

you look after yourself well,

so I have no worries.

Of course! You raised me well.

Okay.

I'll try to visit soon.

Bye.

That's right.

I can look after myself well.

Don't quit now, Na Young-won.
