[announcement chime]
[woman on PA] At Bluevista
by Woo Han Construction,
you'll find wide spaces
between apartment blocks
and a generous layout
[man] That's me, back when I was happy.
When I didn't have to worry
about having superpowers.
Like any other regular guy,
I would come home from work,
have a beer, and play games on my phone
before relaxing into the night.
And then on weekends,
I'd go out and look at houses
that I'd have to work my entire life
to pay off.
The woman who's completely captivated
by this thousand-square-foot,
four-bay layout
is my girlfriend, Min-suk.
We've dated for nine years,
so we're pretty much a family now.
The layout is so well-designed,
don't you think?
I mean, how is it possible
for all rooms to face south?
That's the four-bay layout.
What do you think?
Oh, well, you know, I think it's great!
- Mm-hmm.
- Me too. I'm in love!
[gasps] Oh, there's a walk-in closet!
[sighs]
Hmm.
BEYOND THEIR WORLD, YOURS BEGINS
[man] Yeah.
Who says I can't afford a house
in this neighborhood?
I'll just scrape together
everything I own, and
[Min-suk, man] 700 million won?
[man] That's too much.
I'd be paying that off from my grave.
We require a cash deposit
of 20% at signing,
which, in this case, is 140 million.
And what would be the cutoff
for the housing lottery?
- How long have you been a non-homeowner?
- [man] Oh, I got it!
Well, for as long as I've been alive.
From birth till now.
[Min-suk sighs]
[whispers] It only starts counting
past 30.
Oh.
- [Min-suk chuckles]
- So that would make it only five years.
Five.
Oh, uh, so the apartment complex
next to this has some eligible units.
The cutoff for that one was
Let's see here.
It looks like the cutoff was 61 points.
How many points do we have?
You and I combined have fewer than 30.
Let's go.
- [Min-suk] Thanks. We'll think about it.
- Take one of these.
Scratch it off and claim a free gift.
- Uh, thanks, we will.
- Sure.
[exciting music playing]
[announcement chime]
[woman on PA] To celebrate the opening
of our model house showroom,
Bluevista is offering some exciting prizes
to visitors
who receive sales consultations.
Make sure to take advantage
of this exceptional opportunity.
With Bluevista,
we can all be lucky winners.
Enter now for a chance to win
[man] I have no luck
when it comes to winning prizes.
I've never even won a roll of toilet paper
at a local supermarket raffle.
There's no way
I'm winning the housing lottery.
SCRATCH-OFF LOTTERY EVEN
NO WIN!
[music fades]
If we add up
our deposit here,
plus the 20 million won you have
in your savings, to my 40 million,
we're still 30 million short
of the down payment.
Wait, I wanted the deposit back.
By the way,
your account's short 500,000 won.
[tense music playing]
Min-suk is good with money.
So good, I heard she was doing accounting
for her father's chicken shop
as a little girl.
Now, she's head of accounting
at a medium-sized corporation.
In her spare time,
she manages my spending.
[music stops]
Sang-ung? Are you listening or
[phone chimes]
YOUR ORDER HAS SHIPPED
- [tense music resumes]
- Okay, give it to me.
[Sang-ung] Min-suk is tougher
than the National Tax Service.
A guy like me isn't gonna get
anything past her.
Not a chance.
- [grunts]
- [music fades]
- [sighs]
- [nails grinding]
Look, I just bought a bike
to save on transportation.
[Min-suk chuckles]
You know, that's the kind of expense
we should discuss together.
Finish your plate.
You know, you've changed.
At least one of us needs to grow up.
We won't be young forever.
Anyway, I'm sure we can get
30 million won somehow.
- The lottery is another story.
- So spicy.
We haven't been non-homeowners long,
and we have no dependents.
Which brings me to my next point.
We should get married.
The new apartment lottery
is already a long shot.
We increase our odds if we get married.
What?
Will that be an issue?
[Sang-ung] Wow! What a romantic proposal.
Hang on.
Shouldn't I be the one proposing to her?
Mm, this tracks.
Come to think of it,
Min-suk was also the one
to suggest we start officially dating.
Every heart ♪
Every glance ♪
This is too much.
I've had enough.
What?
I've already been to the salon
twice this month.
It costs a lot
to have a new outfit every day.
And you've been spending a lot
on movies and restaurants.
If it doesn't work out between us,
we'll have wasted our money.
If we're not gonna date each other,
then we shouldn't bankrupt ourselves.
[Sang-ung] It may seem like she's angry,
but to translate,
she's saying she's concerned
about me spending so much money.
And made everything right ♪
All right.
Listen, you idiot.
I'm saying we should go out.
Every heart ♪
Sounds good!
Every glance ♪
[laughs]
Feels like a sweet, sweet dance ♪
You turned my nights to days ♪
[Sang-ung laughs]
[Sang-ung] And just like that,
we've dated for nine years.
[music stops]
And we didn't bankrupt ourselves.
I'll buy you a PS5.
[Sang-ung] If I say yes now, it'll sound
like I'm getting married for a video game.
- So?
- Yeah, sure.
[intriguing music playing]
You mean it?
[chuckles] Of course!
So we're getting married, right?
[Sang-ung] Mm-hmm.
Here. I've already filled it out for you.
Get it notarized quick.
We need this done before the lottery.
[Sang-ung] Wow.
When did she fill this all out? Gosh.
- [music fades]
- [phone chimes]
What?
My dad wants me to see him.
- Why?
- Says he has something for me.
What?
- Money?
- Yeah, that'll be the day.
Probably more useless junk.
Last year, they tried to offload their
extra cabbages on us
so they wouldn't have to rebury them.
- [chuckles]
- Don't get too excited.
It's either radishes or napa cabbages.
[lively pop rock music playing]
LEE EUN-HUI
I'm here.
[music fades]
[woman] My son is home! [laughs]
My goodness! You've come such a long way!
I'll bet you're hungry.
[Sang-ung] This is my mom.
- [sighs happily]
- Here.
Oh! You shouldn't have. Really?
Come on, I know you like soy milk.
Ah, was it a long ride?
[man] Is that you, Sang-ung?
Come in here a sec.
[welding crackling, sizzling]
[Sang-ung clears throat]
[Sang-ung] This is my dad.
To be honest,
I've always felt uncomfortable
around him.
[somber music playing]
SANG-UNG
[Sang-ung] When I was nine years old,
our family took a direct hit
during the IMF crisis.
JEONGJA LOANS
My dad lost his job
and never got back on his feet.
He just kept digging himself in deeper.
LOAN AGREEMEN
[woman] More kimchi, please!
- [man] Why is it taking so long?
- Right. I'll go get that.
[Sang-ung] It was clear to see the stress
it put on our family.
[somber music continues]
[coins jingling]
[coins jingling loudly]
[Sang-ung] They say that you understand
your parents more as you get older.
I never did.
- [music fades]
- [sobs]
[Sang-ung] Today, I'm the same age
as my father was then.
And what I've come to understand
is just how irresponsible and incompetent
he really is.
[sighs]
How are things going?
I'm good.
I heard you had something for me.
Mm-hmm, that's right.
Yesterday was my formal retirement.
[Sang-ung] He retired?
That's a good one.
Normally, you have to work to retire.
This month,
I'll start receiving my national pension.
Ah.
You know, I'm pretty busy.
If there's something you have to tell me,
please just say it.
Son,
do you have any cash?
[Sang-ung] And there it is.
I guess there's just no way for me to win.
[sighs]
I wonder if it's radishes or napa cabbage?
How much do you need?
Not very much.
I'd say
10,000 won is plenty.
[Sang-ung sighs]
Sang-ung,
listen close
to what I'm about to tell you.
I have something.
You're going to purchase it.
What are you talking about?
Wait, this isn't a pyramid scheme, is it?
This is something that's been passed down
for generations in our family.
I've done more than enough.
Now it's your turn to keep it going.
What are you talking about?
Let go of my hand!
[bones cracking]
Oh! Ah!
- [unsettling music playing]
- [rumbling, rattling]
[loud clattering]
[screams in pain]
[Sang-ung grunting]
[screaming in pain]
[spaghetti Western music playing]
[bones cracking]
[screams]
[rock music playing]
[coins jingling]
[gunshot]
[coins jingling]
[rock music continues]
[Sang-ung grunts]
[clattering]
[music fades]
[coins jingling]
[breathes shakily]
[shocked sigh]
[breathes heavily]
What is this?
What's going on? Huh?
- [nail gun clicks]
- [ominous music sting]
[breathes shakily]
What's with the nail gun?
[heavy metal music playing]
Get up, son.
[music intensifies]
- [gasps]
- [coins jingle]
- [music fades]
- [Sang-ung exhales, gasps]
You shot me. You shot me!
[panting]
Huh?
[pensive music playing]
[exhales sharply]
[breathes nervously]
What What's going on?
It's a superpower.
I bought this power from your grandfather
when I was your age.
- I was forced, just like you were.
- Huh?
The more money you have,
the stronger you are.
Your wounds will heal too.
However
take a look in your wallet.
[coins jingle]
The more power you use,
the more money disappears.
What the hell?
You should keep the fact
you have this power a secret.
You just need to follow two rules.
Quietly help those in trouble,
and never use someone else's money.
Hold on, give me a minute.
You're saying
the more I use this power,
the more money I'll need.
[music intensifies]
And also I have to help people with it?
- That's right.
- And be a loser like you? Yeah, right!
- Somebody has to do it.
- [music fades]
[sighs]
Okay.
In that case,
you take it back.
[groans]
Take it back.
- [grunts]
- Once passed on, you can't return it.
I'm finally retiring.
I kept it up
till I was eligible for my pension.
What about selling it
to someone else instead, huh?
Come on. Why not give it
to someone else who wants it?
Don't you think if I could,
I would've tried that?
It needs to be a relative.
Blood.
[Southern guitar music playing]
If you get in trouble, call this number.
It's best not to contact them though.
[Sang-ung] My own father is handing me
a third-rate loan shark's business card.
JEONGJA LOANS
CHAIRWOMAN PARK JEONG-JA
My life was doomed
from the moment I was born.
[father] When you use your power,
small change falls
like a consolation prize.
Used to be you'd get 500 for every 10,000.
But these days, it's really sparse.
Pick up all the spare change you see.
If you wanna keep helping people,
you'll have to save every penny you can.
[father groans]
[crunching]
Don't forget to take some garlic
on your way out.
It's got a really nice bite!
[exhales]
[Sang-ung] I inherited a superpower.
It was completely ridiculous,
but it was my reality.
[whooshing]
[metallic clatter]
[music fades]
[Sang-ung sighs]
[Min-suk sighs]
[Sang-ung] My dad advised me
not to tell anyone,
but Min-suk and I
don't keep secrets from each other.
[Min-suk] Your dad didn't give you money.
You got a superpower instead.
Is that what you're saying?
[chuckles]
And when you use it,
all your money disappears.
Exactly!
My power increases
the more cash I have in my hand.
[chuckles]
But if I use the power,
that money is gone for good.
[Min-suk] God, you really must hate
the idea of getting married.
[sighs]
So much that you had to make up
this bullshit story?
It's true, all right?
Hey! Wait, stop, stop. I didn't mean that.
The superpower. That's what's true.
[groans]
Okay, look.
- [jaunty music playing]
- Hold my wallet.
Here. 10,000.
In my pocket.
- Watch carefully.
- He's completely off his rocker.
[exhales]
[electronic music playing]
[music stops]
[sighs]
See that?
Look.
The money's all gone.
[stirring music playing]
It's gone.
I'm telling you, it disappeared.
[gasps]
[sighs] Why does it take money to use it?
[music swells, stops]
You saw an online magic trick
or something.
[sighs]
- I swear it's the truth.
- Then bend that one.
Give me another.
[jaunty music playing]
Now watch.
[electronic music playing]
[music rolls to a stop]
When Dad gave me this power,
he said I should use my money
to help others.
- [gasps]
- What should I do?
[jaunty music playing]
For now, just follow me.
Wait, but first, put this back how it was.
[Sang-ung] Mm.
[electronic music playing]
[music stops]
Min-suk. I need cash.
10,000? Come on, 10,000.
[Min-suk] Hmm.
[Min-suk sighs]
For starters,
we don't know how this works.
Like, can it only be done with cash?
And how much exactly?
- We should do some tests.
- Mm-hmm.
If we're lucky,
we might be able to use it.
- Yeah, let's go.
- All right.
Here.
[percussive fanfare music playing]
[both] Mm.
[Min-suk] Get warmed up.
0 WON
10,000 WON
20,000 WON
[Min-suk] All right, now jump.
- [whistle blows]
- [fanfare continues]
LONG JUMP!
0 WON, 2 M
10,000 WON, 4 M
20,000 WON, 6 M
20,000 WON, 10,000 WON, 0 WON
0 WON
10,000 WON
20,000 WON
[screams]
[fanfare continues]
- [Sang-ung exclaiming, murmuring]
- [breathes deeply]
[Min-suk] You can all go.
[screaming]
[Min-suk] All right.
Here, try lifting this.
0 WON
10,000 WON
[Sang-ung straining]
20,000 WON
Ooh! Okay!
[fanfare swells]
[fanfare fades]
- Here, take a peek.
- Sure.
There are just way too many restrictions.
NO CHANGE
You can only use cash, and you need
to have it somewhere on your body.
- [Sang-ung] 10,000
- 10,000 won lets you jump two meters.
But a ladder costs less.
It would be great if you could compete
in the UFC,
but all the coins would be
spilling everywhere.
And if you ran out of money,
you could end up dying in the octagon.
[sighs]
[sighs] No matter what you do,
using a machine is more efficient.
We should focus on marriage
and buying a house.
There's only one lottery left
in central Seoul.
If you go around using your power,
we kiss that goodbye.
I think it's best if we don't use it.
[Sang-ung] Mm-hmm.
It has no purpose.
See you later.
[gentle music playing]
[exhales sharply]
[Sang-ung] I shouldn't have gotten
my hopes up.
Of course my inheritance is useless.
120,000 won.
[gentle music continues]
[groans]
[money rustling]
[uplifting music playing]
Whoa!
[screaming fearfully]
[Sang-ung] I've never seen anything
like this before.
Seoul looks so beautiful from up here.
What I inherited from my dad
wasn't a superpower.
It was poverty.
- [music fades]
- [alarm blaring]
ALARM
[Sang-ung smacks lips, moans]
[tapping phone]
- [groans]
- [alarm stops]
[moans]
[sighs]
Time to get up!
[coffee maker whirring]
[rhythmic percussive music playing]
[intriguing music playing]
[Sang-ung] Min-suk and I
have a set of new rules.
[music fades]
[Min-suk] Don't carry around cash anymore.
[intriguing music resumes]
[Min-suk] Don't run either.
Don't use extra energy
or move too quickly.
Those are bad habits now.
They all cost money.
[elderly woman groans]
[elderly woman grunts, groans]
Here, ma'am, let me help
- Oh, that would be great.
- [music fades]
Oh. [exhales]
[Min-suk] Don't use your strength.
Don't use money.
If you use your money,
we're done for.
Uh
Here, ma'am. Let me carry this for you.
Oh, thank you, young man.
Selfish prick.
[man] Phew! This is heavy!
[ethereal flute music playing]
[hisses]
[Sang-ung] If I had the money,
I'd spend all my time doing good deeds.
But if I'm serious about buying a home
in this ruthless world,
I have no other choice.
- [man 1] Good morning!
- [man 2] Morning!
[woman 1] Good morning, everyone.
[Sang-ung] I've always been
a little on the selfish side
Thank you.
but now, I need to try harder than ever
to be even more of a selfish bastard.
[slide whistle plays]
[woman 2] What the Oh my God!
[lively organ music playing]
[grunting]
[Sang-ung] I know what she's thinking.
She's thinking,
"Would it cost him to lend me a hand?"
- [woman 3] Phew, this is heavy!
- Unfortunately for her, it does.
Why are you doing this by yourself?
[huffing]
[man 3] He walked right by you.
I've never been treated like that before.
I mean, seriously, who does that?
That guy needs therapy.
[man] It's okay.
Some people are just pricks.
[sighs]
[music stops]
[man 4] Mr. Kang Sang-un?
Can we speak?
[woman 4] He's a monster.
What is this?
CIVIL COMPLAIN
[Sang-ung] "Despite an elderly woman
requesting assistance,
he refused to help with her heavy load
while completely dismissing her."
"Kang Sang-ung is a disgrace
of a civil servant."
[clears throat]
- My apologies. Um
- You're acting strange today.
Huh?
What's this about?
You've been acting strange all morning.
You're not greeting people.
You're not holding open the door.
Did you win the lottery?
Dating a celebrity?
[scratching]
Is there something I should know about?
And would you please
knock off that scratching?
We're having a conversation.
[chuckles]
It hurts not to itch, sir. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Go. Go, go.
Please.
All right.
[Western music playing]
Stop with the slow-motion walk!
You think you're in a John Woo movie
or something?
[Sang-ung] You know,
it may seem counterintuitive,
but trying not to use your strength
all day is incredibly exhausting.
[male host] Now, as a whole,
this age group, including newlyweds,
doesn't have particularly good odds
[Min-suk groans]
Where are we gonna get 30 million won?
[Sang-ung] Hmm.
- Anything you can do?
- Not really.
Mm, of course.
Uh, we could try investing in something.
One of the officers on my team
found a really good stock
and got a huge return on his investment.
Eh, eh, eh. Don't even think about it.
- [jaunty music playing]
- No stock market. No crypto either.
Absolutely not.
[music fades]
- Everyone else makes money off 'em.
- Sh!
[fast jaunty music playing]
It only seems that way because
the winners never shut up about it.
But just take a look in the Hangang River.
When the market falls,
there's more people than fish,
all staring at their phones
as they float along.
Whether it's crypto or stocks,
90% lose out.
The odds of making anything?
[music fades]
[sighs]
[jaunty music resumes]
They're less than zero.
[Sang-ung] When she's this harsh,
it makes me wonder
why she wants to marry me at all.
[sighs] All right, sounds good.
[music stops]
So what do we do?
I say, let's sell
all our unnecessary possessions.
Huh? What could we possibly have
that's unnecessary?
- Air purifier.
- What?
- Also, this sofa. That lamp over there.
- Hmm? The lamp?
Oh, and that dining table.
We can't sell the dining table!
Where will we eat?
We're eating here right now.
And you don't really need two tablets.
[upbeat percussive music playing]
[Sang-ung] Of course I need them.
How else will I browse the Internet
while watching a movie,
or watch a movie
while browsing the Internet?
- Don't you agree?
- [music stops]
Yeah, absolutely. I'm with you.
- You see?
- [upbeat percussive music resumes]
If we sold everything,
that's a million right there.
- [laughs]
- [phone chimes]
I might've sold 'em already.
2-SEAT TABLE,
A-BRAND 11-INCH TABLET, SOLD
- [Sang-ung] Wait, hang on a sec!
- [laughing]
- How come only my stuff's for sale?
- My stuff is higher quality.
[Sang-ung] I beg to differ.
Everything at her place is Provence style.
I really hate Provence style.
Why the hell does furniture need windows?
[sighs]
I just don't understand.
[music stops]
- [Sang-ung groans]
- Is that heavy?
No, don't worry.
[breathing heavily]
When you get home, you'll have a PS5!
- Right.
- Be careful with the cash you get.
Don't use your strength.
And remember, walk slow.
[sighs]
Mm-hmm.
See you later.
I'll be back.
Right, that part's done.
Uh, are you
- The buyer.
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah, that's me.
- The profile online was a woman's.
My girlfriend's.
She's the one who bought it.
Yeah, I'm in the same boat.
My wife put it up for sale.
That's how it goes, right?
- You wanna check it first?
- Oh, sure. Let's sit.
[Sang-ung] Oh,
so there's the main console.
There are the controllers.
- Yeah.
- Nice.
Wait, are these included?
Well, without the console,
what's the point holding onto the games?
They're yours. Please, take them.
How much extra are these?
Don't worry. Just take them.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah! [laughs]
Here, this one's the most fun.
All right! Okay!
Then I'll make sure to try this one.
- All right.
- Thanks a lot.
- I guess I should pay you now.
- Thank you.
One second here.
- It was 450,000?
- Yeah, that's it.
And there you are.
- You made sure it's all there?
- We're good.
I can't wait to play.
It must be nice.
[laughs]
Before we were married,
my wife let me play.
Since we had our boy, not so much.
- Oh.
- Enjoy it while you can!
Yeah. Well, I'll try my best.
[laughs] I suppose
instead of playing games,
I can take my kids out on a weekend.
Yeah, hope you go somewhere fun.
- All right. Yes, good night.
- Good night. Okay then. Thank you.
[excitedly] I finally got one! [chuckles]
[laughs]
[thug 1] Hey, man. Did you sell something?
- Not so fast, you prick!
- [blow lands]
- Let's see what you got.
- [seller grunts]
- [seller grunts]
- [blow lands]
- [thug] Give us the fucking money.
- [blow lands]
[seller grunts]
- Hit him.
- [grunts]
[grunting continues]
- [seller groans] Help, please!
- Shut the fuck up, bitch!
[seller] Somebody help me!
[seller grunting]
[Sang-ung] This has nothing to do with me.
[loud clatter]
- [seller] Help me! Please!
- [thug] Just hand over the money.
- [thug 2] All of it, you punk!
- [breathing shakily]
- [thug 2] Is this all of it?
- [seller] Yes, that's everything.
[somber music playing]
[thug] This is gonna get bad for you
if you're hiding any.
This is gonna get bad if you hold back.
- That's all, I swear!
- What's this?
[Sang-ung] It's three against one.
Even if I somehow win,
the fight could cost thousands of won.
[seller whimpers]
[thug] I said give me the money!
- [seller] Someone help!
- [thug 2] Teach this guy a lesson.
- [blows landing]
- [seller grunting]
[seller whimpers]
- [thug] I told you to give me the money.
- [blows landing]
[somber music continues]
[seller grunts]
- [blow lands]
- [seller whimpers]
[Sang-ung] If I had the money,
I'd spend all my time doing good deeds.
I'd try my damndest
to do every good deed in the world.
[beeps]
[Min-suk] You're back.
Did something happen?
[door opens]
[somber music continues]
[breathing heavily]
[exhales sharply]
Did you give someone a discount?
You're short 20,000.
I really had to go bad, so I ran here.
Ugh, I told you not to run.
My bad.
[breathing heavily]
[Sang-ung] Look at me.
Utter trash.
[exhales]
[music fades]
[Min-suk chuckles]
That's a good one.
This joke got me.
"What do stars in the sky
and apartments in Seoul have in common?"
Tell me.
You can see thousands of 'em,
but you can never reach 'em.
[laughs]
- [video game sound chirp]
- [sighs]
[joystick clicking]
Hey, sweetie?
Let's live a good life.
- [emotional music playing]
- Mm-hmm.
[Min-suk sighs]
[Sang-ung] I really do want
to live a good life.
I want to live well
more than anything.
[controller clicking]
In this game,
the heroes get money for saving lives.
They use that money to buy clothes,
power-ups, even houses.
I guarantee that if helping others
cost this guy his hard-earned cash,
there's no way he'd do it.
Not in a million years.
[emotional music continues]
[music fades]
[mother] Over here! [laughs]
[Sang-ung sighs]
[exhales sharply]
I got you an iced Americano.
Oh, Mom, you shouldn't have.
You want me to grab you
one of the pastries?
Not a chance.
You should be saving up for that house.
You're right.
[scratching]
- What's wrong?
- Huh?
- [gasps]
- Oh.
It's just psoriasis. Psoriasis.
- Did you see a dermatologist?
- Mm-hmm.
- She said it would be fine with ointment.
- Jeez, seriously.
[gasps]
You have blisters like your dad.
He'd get blisters like that.
Sometimes they'd clear up,
but they would always return.
Oh, why did you have
to go and inherit that!
Hey, it's fine. I didn't inherit it.
Come on, stop it.
[sighs] It breaks my heart.
[Sang-ung] Dad told me
he hid his superpowers from my mom
his whole life.
Makes sense 'cause I didn't know either.
Now, here I am hiding it from her too.
[mother sighs]
I almost forgot.
I have something for you, son.
What is it now?
[Sang-ung] I really don't want
to inherit anything else.
I preferred it when all they gave me
was radishes or cabbage.
Ta-da!
[mother laughs]
Is it bread?
[whimsical chime]
[dreamy music playing]
[softly] It's money.
Where'd you get it?
It's my savings.
If I transfer it with my bank,
there's a gift tax,
so I brought it over in cash.
[chuckles]
It's 30 million, plus a little bit extra.
[emotional music playing]
You and Min-suk are still
getting along, right?
You're getting married soon.
You'll need money for that.
Start up a savings account,
or buy a place on the outskirts of town,
at the very least.
You can't go through life saying,
"Housing prices will crash any day now,"
like your father!
[angrily] In fact, don't pick up
any of his habits, huh?
[Sang-ung] 30 million won.
Now we have enough for the deposit.
I'm so grateful.
I really needed this.
We always need money, right?
Son, we're going to Spain tomorrow.
To Spain?
- For real?
- [chuckles]
I've never been abroad in my life.
Your dad planned it.
Out of nowhere,
he said we should travel more.
I don't know what's gotten into him.
It's really exciting.
I want you to be careful
with that on the way home.
[music fades]
- Finish that drink before you go.
- Wait, you're leaving?
I made plans, sorry.
- See ya!
- Uh, wait. Mom, I, uh
See ya soon. Thank you.
- Of course.
- Bye.
[smooth country music playing]
[Sang-ung] I've always been wary
of positive thinking.
But what's the issue?
This is good news.
There's way too much competition
for the newlyweds' lottery.
With this, we have enough
to cover the deposit.
All that's left is
to let everything work out.
[smooth country music continues]
[connect tone]
[phone line ringing]
Min-suk, guess what?
I have some good news.
[Min-suk] What is it?
Okay, don't freak out,
but I met up with my mom just now, and
[car horns honking]
[tense music playing]
[dramatic music playing]
[passengers screaming]
[tires squealing]
[dramatic music intensifies]
[music subsides]
[tires squealing]
- [Min-suk] Hello?
- [passengers screaming]
[unsettling music playing]
What was that sound?
- [metallic crunching]
- Kang Sang-ung.
[man 1] What happened? Oh my God!
[passengers screaming]
[unsettling music continues]
[Sang-ung] My luck never seems to change.
[woman 1] We need to report this.
Someone call the police!
[metallic crunching]
- [passengers scream]
- [indistinct murmuring]
[father] Somebody has to do it.
Now it's your turn to keep it going.
Quietly help those in trouble.
[Sang-ung] Yeah, right!
[passengers screaming]
[male passenger] Help us! Help us!
[screaming continues]
[somber music playing]
[angrily] In fact,
don't pick up any of his habits!
[Min-suk] Hey, sweetie?
Let's live a good life.
[bag rustling]
[panicked murmuring]
[screaming]
[tense music playing]
[screaming]
[female passenger] Oh my God!
[concrete crumbling]
[metallic rattling]
[stirring music playing]
[panicked whimpering]
[male passenger 2] Look out the back!
What's going on?
[male passenger 3] Oh fuck!
