The Apartment Job (아파트)

THE APARTMENT JOB

Mr. Park, I'm sorry, but I can't work here anymore.

You can't just quit like this.

You fired me suddenly too.

You already received your payment. You should do your job.

What's the point in being your wife for two more weeks?

You already got the position that you wanted so badly.

Our family still needs you, Ms. Kang.

Mr. Park, that family you speak of is fake anyway!

What?

"Fake"?

Oh, my goodness. You…

So you guys…

Were a fake family?

I see.

My gosh. I get it now.

I did think it was strange.

Those guys were telling their father they'd cut off his hands,

and you were telling the boy to call you Ha-ri.

I was wondering what kind of messed-up family you were.

So that's why.

Everything was fake.

Fake?

You misheard.

I said, "Take."

I told her we needed to take it easy on the salt.

Right, honey.

The kimchi stew was pretty salty.

- It was salty. - Yeah, it was.

It was salty.

Enough about the stew.

I heard it clearly with my own ears.

"That family you speak of is fake anyway!"

You misheard!

That's nonsense.

- Why would we fake a family? - Right.

Why would you do that?

But you should know that this is a serious matter.

You've deceived this entire apartment complex,

you understand?

Ms. Jang, that's not...

But…

Why did you go to such lengths

to become the president?

What are you scheming?

What are you up to?

- No, wait. Forget it. - Ms. Jang…

President Park… I mean, Mr. Park.

You…

Should step down immediately.

I can't just let this slide.

I'm going to post this on our community forum.

- Move aside. - It's under maintenance.

Darn it. This stupid elevator is always out of order.

You frauds.

Ms. Jang…

Emergency!

Ms. Jang just found out that we're a fake family.

What?

She just said she's going to post this online.

We have to stop her.

What's going on?

Why isn't the internet working?

What's wrong with this apartment?

And why is the elevator

stuck on the 29th floor?

I can't hold on any longer.

Gosh.

What?

I'm sorry, ma'am.

It's not opening. Geez.

What's going on?

Darn it!

This stupid apartment!

I've had it with this place!

It must smell nice because it's from France.

It's my first time using hand lotion.

You didn't need to get me a gift.

It's a farewell gift, Mr. Choi.

You scare me whenever you say that.

I told you several times.

And President Seo

also asked me to continue just until the end of his term.

So you returned when you heard the president had changed?

Yes.

President Seo

is in a tight spot because he lost the election.

None of us expected him to lose that position.

I'll talk to him

when the timing is right,

so please stay until then.

Without you here, our apartment complex will be in huge trouble.

Ha-jeong.

It was a misunderstanding earlier.

Our company's client asked me to look after their son.

Why would a lawyer visit a client's house to do such work?

And he called you "Mom."

I had no choice. I'm just a newbie.

I have to do as I'm told.

And he loves me more than his mom.

He just calls me "Mom" sometimes.

You studied hard to become a lawyer.

It upsets me to see you running errands like that.

Well, I told them I can't do it anymore.

But why did you return so early? Your trip was supposed to last longer.

Something came up at work.

You should've told me so I could be prepared.

Prepared for what?

I mean, I would've picked you up from the airport.

Give me that. It must be heavy.

How was France?

It was nice, but I did miss spicy food.

That's a tacky way to flaunt that you were abroad.

You remember, right?

First encounter, library First kiss, under a street light.

Fateful encounter At a book club after-party.

We checked that Ms. Jang went home after struggling with the door last night.

She'll come out for her morning exercise soon.

Okay, got it.

Since it's an emergency, I'll allow a wide range of touching.

She's coming.

Honey, hurry up.

Careful not to get hurt, honey.

You can protect me.

I do protect you, don't I?

- Shall we go? - Yes.

Gosh.

I can tell that you're faking it.

It's so obvious.

Married couples don't run around holding hands.

Geez.

We used to be in a book club.

I fell in love with her at first sight at a library.

Our first kiss was under a street light.

Our first kiss…

I don't want to know. I'm not curious at all.

I don't want to hear it!

- Ms. Jang! - Ms. Jang!

One week.

Can't you just wait one week?

One week?

What are you planning to do during that week?

Can't you give me a chance to win back your trust?

Don't you remember this place?

Cut!

That was soulless.

Why is your tone so cold?

You need to express more sincerity. Again!

Sincerity.

Do you remember this place?

You and I stood here together

and shouted ourselves hoarse for a common goal.

That glorious memory of our struggle paying off

is still engraved deep in my heart.

All right, fine.

That was a happy memory for me too.

Our housing prices rose thanks to that.

I do admire you for it.

But you must have

some reason to fake a family

to become the president

of the residents' association!

I'm telling you, we're not a fake family.

I really

love my wife.

Sure, you do.

You have to sincerely believe it

when you say you love your wife. Again!

Right.

I really love my wife.

I love her!

I love her!

I love her! With gestures too!

- I love her! - I love her!

Gestures! I love her!

I love her!

I love my wife.

I married her because I love her, and we even had a child.

I didn't want to tell you this,

but my brothers all have different mothers.

Gosh. All three of them?

My father had a rather scandalous life in his youth.

Right. I did think it was strange.

You didn't look anything alike.

What's more…

My father started gambling, so…

Oh, dear.

We were so scarred because of him,

but we were living together to mend our relationship.

Right. I see.

- Oh, dear. - Nice.

Fine, let's say that's true.

However…

From all the data I've collected so far,

you guys are very suspicious.

I have a bad feeling about you.

That's why I'm asking you to make your judgment after one week.

It won't be too late to decide then.

I didn't want to bring this up,

but the maintenance fees you're always complaining about…
