TYPHOON FAMILY
TYPHOON TRADING
My name is Kim Jeong-hyeon,
the director of sales at Kangseong Helmet.
-I'm Bae In-ho, the head of development.
-Nice to meet you.
My name is Go Ma-jin,
the sales team leader.
-Mr. Go Ma-jin.
-Yes.
And I am CEO Kang Tae-poong
of Typhoon Trading.
Please have some coffee.
-I am Oh Mi-seon, the senior staff.
-Hello.
Please have some coffee.
-Here you go.
-Thank you.
We should've been
the ones to visit you first.
Goodness, don't say that.
We came because we were curious.
We wanted to see the company
that wanted to sell our helmet
to another country.
Something like this rarely happens.
[laughs]
I wanted to taste your coffee too.
Now, about these…
[In-ho] This is a full-face helmet,
and this is an open-face one.
Doesn't the full-face helmet
already look sturdy?
But the open-face helmet is exposed,
so it's very easy to put on and take off,
and it's much cheaper too.
-I see. But these seem a bit…
-[Ma-jin] Whoa!
They seem like they'll break easily.
Helmets need to break.
If it doesn't break, your head will.
-I see.
-The impact will go to the head.
[Tae-poong] Ah!
[In-ho yells]
[Ma-jin exclaims]
My goodness!
-Whoa!
-Oh!
-It's fine.
-Oh!
However, what you need to see
is the inside.
This is…
-Then, Director Kim.
-Yes?
What would be the minimum order?
We begin at 1,000 helmets,
but we can negotiate in this situation
and start at 500 pieces.
Is it possible to purchase on credit?
I'll have to see some documents,
but the amount isn't significant,
so it's probably possible.
Mmm. Thank you for coming today.
-Sure.
-I'll see you next time. Thank you.
-Goodbye. Great meeting.
-Goodbye.
-Mmm-mmm. You don't have to see us off.
-Ah.
-Goodbye.
-Goodbye.
We won't see you off then.
[Ma-jin] Now, we have the products.
[in English] Yes.
Yes!
[in Korean] Cut it out.
I was going to throw that helmet away.
[laughs]
Where do you want to sell it to?
They're already selling to America,
Europe, the Arab countries, Singapore,
Hong Kong, Taiwan,
and just about everywhere.
Where would you sell them?
Mmm…
[thrilling music playing]
IMF PROVIDES AID FOLLOWING AGREEMEN
THAILAND SEEKS $8 BILLION IN BAILOU
CHEMICAL FACTORY COMPLETED IN VIETNAM,
LAGERS EXPORTED TO THAILAND
GREENLAND
[music continues]
-That sounds cold.
-[Mi-seon] Isn't that way up in the north?
NORTH AMERICA
SOUTH AMERICA
ARGENTINA
Argentina?
Up here.
RUSSIA - ASIA
NORTH PACIFIC
And how about here?
What are we going to do
in the middle of the sea?
This is Hawaii.
-[Song-jung] How about this?
-Maybe Australia.
[Tae-poong]
No, we can't go with Australia.
We're moving again?
[Song-jung]
Are you traveling around the world?
It's going to be…
THAILAND
…Thailand.
[Ma-jin] Thailand?
What do you mean, Thailand?
They've suffered
from the IMF crisis before us.
Exactly.
They've suffered first,
so they'll recover first too.
Haven't you ever taken the first blow?
It hurts like crazy.
I'm usually the one
who throws the punch first.
Do you think they'll buy these?
Is it even possible?
What's their current GNI?
-I'm not a part of the company.
-It's $370 billion.
[Tae-poong] Here's the thing.
What's more important is
how much they spend, not earn.
You all know
about the expensive German cars, right?
What's the country that bought
those cars the most after Germany?
Where's the city with the most number
of department stores?
It's Thailand.
They have the highest purchasing power
in that region.
It's only been two years
since helmets became mandatory.
The law is going to be
much stricter this year.
-This year? Why?
-Why is that?
BASEBALL DREAM TEAM WILL LEAVE FOR BANGKOK
-Oh!
-Ah.
-[Song-jung] Right, Park Chan-ho.
-The Bangkok Asian Games.
What do you say?
[Mi-seon] In my opinion, the exchange rate
is what matters the most.
The baht exchange rate hit the ATH
in January and began to go down.
The decline was rapid,
so the recovery is quick too.
It's a relief for us.
Even if we sign a deal now,
we'd get paid way past May,
so it wouldn't be too bad
if the rate rose this much.
Sure, okay. Nice speech.
The buyer is what matters the most.
Who in Thailand
will actually buy our helmets?
We must find a customer first
before we make a sales effort,
so let's find
a trustworthy local middleman,
someone like Typhoon Trading in Thailand.
[mid-tempo cheerful song playing]
[in Thai] Boss,
the mango samples are here.
-[in Korean] Hey, you're here.
-[telephone ringing]
I wonder if the samples are any good.
[in Thai] Hello,
this is Sawaddee speaking.
Boss, you have a call.
Okay. Uh-huh.
[muttering indistinctly]
[in Korean] Who is it?
I guess I can't do that.
Who's calling me now?
Goodness.
Hello, Sawaddee Trading.
[in Thai] This is Go Ma-yong speaking.
[gasps, speaks Korean]
Look who it is! You're Ma-jin!
Hey, it's been a while.
Are you doing all right? [laughs]
Anyway, you aren't calling me
sitting down like a rude punk, are you?
[laughs]
What now?
Helmets?
Yes, exactly. All right. Okay.
All right. I'll reach out to you.
Bye.
[sighs wearily]
He's still making me exhausted.
This guy is my second cousin,
who's been running a business in Thailand
for over 15 years now.
-[Tae-poong] Oh!
-He seemed interested for now.
He asked for a sample first.
-A sample?
-Here's what we'll do.
I'll go to Kangseong and get the product.
-Okay.
-So let's send that as the sample.
-What else do we need?
-He also asked for pictures.
Old pictures of the company.
Old company pictures?
You can get that ready, Oh.
Get our visas ready.
-Business visa.
-Yes, right.
Mr. Go, she's no longer just Oh.
She's a senior staff member.
For the photos…
I'll look for the photos, Ms. Oh.
-Okay.
-It should be in my office.
-Hey, Oh, stay there for a moment.
-Okay.
[exhales deeply] All right.
Hey, Oh.
No, Senior Staff Ms. Oh.
Here's my thing.
This is how I'm built.
I'm not the type of guy who thinks badly
about women who join the workforce.
However, I…
Well, I'm bringing this up
for your sake, Ms. Oh.
But you getting directly involved in sales
doesn't seem, mmm…
-quite proper.
-Sorry?
You can relax
and continue to work as a bookkeeper.
And if you want to do more,
I guess you can pick up
some of Mr. Bae's work too.
But when it comes to sales,
please hold yourself back.
[soft melancholy music playing]
It's not that I don't like you,
and I'm not looking down on you
because of your education.
It's not like your diploma
will help you sell more.
My school isn't much, either.
In that case, only people like Mr. Kang
should be in sales.
Imagine a young woman like you
going abroad as the head of sales,
walking with your head up high.
What will our customers
think of our business?
It's obvious.
Sales isn't that easy.
Think about it.
Why do they call us a trader or salesman?
Because there are no women in the game.
[sighs softly]
Okay, Mr. Go. Thank you for your concern.
It's nothing.
But you know,
I'll let the customers evaluate
how I am as a salesperson.
Then I'll prove myself with numbers.
I don't know. How can I put this?
Mmm…
I don't think it's about men or women.
[hesitating]
I just really want to be
a trader.
[clicks tongue]
[sighs]
-I gave you my advice…
-Okay.
Don't come crying to me later
and say things like,
"Why didn't you stop me?"
[door opens and closes]
[sighs softly]
Hey, you're ruining the wheels!
I said I'd come alone.
You even had to leave your store.
It's okay. Business was slow anyway.
Hey.
Are you headed over there?
Yes, how did you know?
Hey.
-So this is your home?
-Yes.
Ms. Oh will be thrilled.
Come in for a second.
-[dreamy romantic music playing]
-[gate opens]
-[Mi-ho] You're back.
-Hi.
[shuddering] It's so cold.
[Mi-ho gasps]
-[gasps]
-[gasps, exclaims indistinctly]
What? This beautiful face,
even without half her brows,
is definitely my girlfriend, Mi-ho.
Why does that punk, Tae-poong, live here?
You didn't know? He lives with us.
He's the CEO of my sister's workplace.
[Mi-ho sighs]
Darn it. Why did he come now?
THAI FOR BEGINNERS
[Mi-seon, in Thai] See you again.
Good luck.
See you again.
-Good luck. See you again.
-[main door opens]
-Good luck.
-[knock on door]
[in Korean] Ms. Oh?
-Ms. Oh?
-My gosh.
Oh!
-Hey, Mr. Kang.
-I borrowed this.
-We won't need to buy this anymore.
-Oh!
Gosh, you didn't have to do this.
-The handle should be sturdy.
-Okay.
Well, Mr. Kang.
Uh, by any chance,
if it's too inconvenient for me to go,
I can always stay here.
What's inconvenient about that?
You're Typhoon Trading's trader.
And you're studying so hard too.
This is just my hobby.
-Is that Thai? Sawasdee khap.
-Yes.
Sawasdee kha.
[Nam-mo] Hey, Tae-poong!
-I'm going to stay the night.
-What? All of a sudden?
[Bun-i] Is that you, my son?
[amusing music playing]
By any chance, are you Gap-sik's father?
Huh? How dare you enter a home
full of women without consent?
-Yes, man.
-Who's she?
-Uh, she's my grandma.
-We aren't going to buy anything!
-Hello, Grandma.
-[Jeong-mi laughs]
Hey, you're here, Nam-mo.
So you're staying the night?
Should I sleep in Ms. Yeom's room?
-Have you eaten?
-Yes, I ate.
Do you know how to spin a top?
What about the striking trick?
He can't do any of those.
-Who are you?
-[Jeong-mi] The youngest here. [giggles]
He's my younger brother, Beom.
[Nam-mo] Beom? That means tiger.
-[mimics tiger roaring]
-[dog whines]
[gasps] You have a dog too.
[Jeong-mi laughs]
Are you asleep, Tae-poong?
You are.
Hey, no. I'm not asleep.
Did I ever tell you
about the toilet that plays a melody?
Yes, you did. One too many times.
The toilet that plays music when you pee,
the number one helmet in America,
the thread that melts in your body,
and foldable bicycles too.
I've heard it too many times.
[sighs] You have so many things you want
to sell that you can't even go to sleep.
I really hope you'll fall asleep soon.
-Are you sleepy?
-No.
There are way too many things
to sell in this world.
I even want to sell
the stones I see on the street.
-Yes, sure. Sell them all.
-[snores]
[snoring softly]
[chuckles]
How can this simple kid run a business?
Good night. I'm going out.
Seriously, I'm going to sell them all.
[door opens and closes]
Cuckoo.
No, this isn't right.
How do cranes sing?
[mimics squawking]
[dreamy romantic music playing]
-[music stops abruptly]
-[yawning]
One, two…
[slippers squeaking]
Can you go alone?
-I'll be right out front.
-[Beom] Okay.
-Why weren't you asleep?
-Why were you gasping?
-I missed you too much. Let me see you.
-[dreamy romantic music playing]
Wow. You're this beautiful
even in the middle of the night,
and you're right next door.
How can I sleep with this racing heart?
I won't.
I just can't sleep.
[giggling] What's with you?
Get out of my face. Cut it out.
[music stops abruptly]
That was a surprise.
[Nam-mo] Did you say your name was Beom?
May I call you my brother-in-law?
Beom, my brother-in-law.
[mouthing]
Mi-ho, you should go back inside.
-What?
-Go back inside.
Oh, my. Okay.
It's Mr. Beom. Call me Mr. Oh Beom.
[slippers squeaking]
[mouthing]
[Mi-ho] Let's go to sleep.
Good night.
-[Jeong-mi] No, wait a second.
-Why? I'm late for school.
Eat before you go.
Open up. Good boy.
And take this. Here.
Okay.
Fire shot!
[screams] Stop it!
He surprised me.
-I'm going to school!
-Don't run. You might fall!
I'm leaving too.
-Little Ms. Oh.
-Yes?
Hold this.
Have this as you go.
You'll ruin your stomach if you don't eat.
Thank you.
What about my son?
-Is he not here yet?
-[Jeong-mi] I wonder.
Something good must've happened.
He left early in the morning.
I'll make breakfast for you.
[photographer]
Okay. I'll take the picture.
One moment.
[mid-tempo pop song playing]
There.
It's for your passport.
You look beautiful.
All right, then. One, two, three.
[camera shutter clicks]
Another one.
-[making funny noises]
-[photographer] One, two, three.
[clears throat]
[song continues]
[door opens]
-Ms. Oh Mi-seon of Typhoon Trading?
-Yes.
-A delivery for you.
-Okay.
-Please sign here.
-Sure.
-[courier] Thanks.
-Thank you.
It's here.
[pencil sharpener rattling]
[counting indistinctly]
[exhales]
[snoring lightly]
[door opens]
[door closes]
You're up.
Are you that worried? Aww!
You must be leaving home
for the first time, Ms. Oh.
Yes.
Your siblings are grown up enough.
They'll manage well without you.
And I'm here too.
[both chuckle softly]
[Mi-seon] Good night.
-Go to sleep.
-Okay.
[cheerful pop song playing]
-[Tae-poong] That way?
-[Ma-jin] Yes.
Ah, Thailand!
-It's all right.
-[in Thai] Come take a look.
Hello. You can take a look here.
All pretty and nice.
[in Korean]
Is this it? Is it the second floor here?
Where is this guy?
[Ma-yong] Ma-jin! Go Ma-jin!
-Hey, Ma-jin!
-Ma-yong!
Hey, stay right there.
[laughs]
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Ma-yong!
-[laughing]
-Goodness, my little cousin.
It must've been one long trip.
Goodness, Ma-yong.
Wow. You've become quite friendly
while living abroad.
I hope the leaf mustard kimchi
hasn't over-fermented.
Goodness, what a shame.
Are you sure you brought everything
-I told you to bring here?
-[Mi-seon whispers]
[Ma-jin] I had to pay
an extra $700 for it.
-[Tae-poong, in Thai] Hello.
-Hello.
[Ma-jin, in Korean]
They were just too heavy!
[in Thai] Hello.
[in Korean] How's your father doing?
-Now you want to know?
-[chuckling]
Forget it. Come and meet
CEO Kang Tae-poong of our company.
Hello, my name is Kang Tae-poong.
I'm a former nominee of the 36th
and the 37th presidential elections
of the Korean-Thai Association
and the CEO of Sawaddee Trading,
and my name's Go Ma-yong. [laughs]
-I see.
-You're one handsome man.
You're just like me!
[laughter]
-And she is?
-Yes, hello.
And as you can see, this is…
Who is she?
Why aren't you introducing her?
She's just one of our girl staff.
No, tell me. Who is she? What does she do?
[exhales wearily]
-Should we go?
-[softly] Yes.
He says he even rented out
an office for us.
[exclaims] You can't do your business
out on the streets.
Thank you.
That's enough with greetings
and formalities.
It's right here.
Come on in.
This is it.
[Ma-jin and Tae-poong] Oh!
Will this be our temporary office?
-It's not this one, right?
-Of course not.
Your office is just a part of the room,
just this area.
This?
[Ma-jin] You expect the three of us
to sit on this tiny table and work?
Were you going to sit here
instead of going out to work?
That's why you're facing a crisis.
How lazy are you?
Let's see.
Kasem!
-[in English] Chairs. Three chairs.
-[in Thai] Okay.
[in English] Okay.
[in Korean] I told you to bring old photos
that looked really ancient.
-What about these? These are pretty old.
-This is a good one.
You should put these ones out there.
-I have this one too.
-That's good.
It looks like you have tradition.
By any chance, do you have a photo
of anyone in a military uniform?
It's nice to keep one out front.
Soldiers have a lot of power in Thailand.
-[Tae-poong] Oh!
-These are nice.
CELEBRATING THE DAY OF TRADE
Now, let's take a picture together.
TYPHOON TRADING UNITY EVEN
Okay. I'll take a few,
so strike a nice pose.
All right, then.
Okay, Mr. Kang.
You're kind of awkward.
You seem down-to-earth.
Act naturally. Let me take one first.
-Looking great. One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
That's done. Any other pose?
That's good. "Typhoon Trading." Excellent.
One, two… I'll take one.
-That's a nice pose. One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
Point your finger.
Yes, but they aren't aligned. Focus.
Ms. Mi-seon, what are you doing?
-You're covering Mr. Kang's eyes.
-I'm sorry.
[Ma-yong] Excellent. Make the same eyes.
Great pose. One, two, three.
-[camera shutter clicks]
-That was great.
This time, look at the helmet. Good.
Let's sell the helmets!
-Okay. One, two, three!
-[camera shutter clicks]
All done.
[Tae-poong] This place is huge.
Have you been here before?
I know this place
like the back of my hand.
[Tae-poong] Oh!
[Ma-jin] I'm hungry.
This is delicious.
[in Thai] Tom yum is here!
[Ma-yong] This is great, Mama.
Enjoy your meal.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
-[in English] Delicious. Try.
-[in Thai] Thank you.
[in Korean] The lady of this guest house
is an excellent cook.
She's the best when it comes to seasoning.
Everything is perfectly seasoned. [laughs]
[Tae-poong] Looks delicious.
What are you doing, Ha-neul?
Come and say hello
to your uncle and the guests.
Ha-neul, you punk!
Come on out, kiddo.
[in Thai] Hello.
Hello.
[in Korean] Hey, son.
[in Thai] Hey, Dad.
[in Korean] Jeez. What kind of nonsense
is he up to this time?
[in English] Beautiful lady.
It's Innocence of Bangkok.
Ah.
-And your name?
-Mi-seon.
Hi, Sunny.
-Just call me Sky. [chuckles]
-"Sky." [laughs politely]
-[in Korean] Who's this?
-[Ma-yong] He's not in a good headspace.
Don't mind him.
[in English] Lemongrass. Okay?
Try.
-Try.
-Thank you.
[Ha-neul, in Korean] Come on.
[in English] Try.
[in Korean] It tastes like makeup.
Try it, Uncle. You're a man.
[Ma-yong] Go and get your food.
Leave that there.
-Fine.
-Okay.
Eat up.
-[Ma-jin] What's this?
-[Ma-yong] Tom yum soup.
-Thank you.
-Tom yum soup.
-It's very delicious.
-That's what I'm saying.
What's going on these days?
Men's and women's roles keep switching.
You can take this one.
See? This tastes like makeup too.
These all taste the same.
Anyway, everyone.
The country is in a mess.
The power of our country
equals our power as expats,
but this IMF crisis is going to make
the Korean residents here starve.
Only traders like myself
can barely make ends meet,
thanks to my connections.
Where do you make such connections?
I moved here a long time ago
and got to know people in high society
while teaching them taekwondo.
I hear younger people
meet at clubs these days.
You can go with my son one of these days.
But the clubs in this neighborhood
are so luxurious
that they only accept people
who have lots of money
and have great looks.
We have a great chance in that way.
Mr. Kang was a proud member
of the Orange Tribe in Korea,
so although he doesn't have much money,
he still has his looks left.
He always attracted people
whenever he went clubbing.
I'm not part of the Orange Tribe.
And I quit clubbing.
When you go there, you'll probably meet
Nihakham Group's chairman's daughter.
-Ha-neul is acquainted with her.
-Really?
Uh, when will the items arrive?
Was it called Lamchaya?
[Ma-yong laughs] This young lady here
sounds like a workaholic.
I'm expecting a shipment,
so I'll go there tomorrow.
-Do you want to tag along?
-Yes, I'd love to.
Then can we go
and meet with the customs officer?
Can we do that?
Everything will go smoothly
once we get to know an officer.
Yes, I'd like to see the port too.
Getting there isn't a problem,
but my car is already loaded.
I don't think I can take all of you.
[Ma-jin] Who cares?
Mr. Kang and I will be going by ourselves,
so it doesn't matter.
Hey, she brought this up first.
Yes, I'll go.
Why would you go there, Ms. Oh?
Take a hint.
It's the CEO
and the salesman that should go.
I work in sales too.
Sure. So what? [laughing]
What can you do there?
What will you do?
The three of us can
all squeeze in together.
Or I can stick around here
and see if there's anything else to do.
No, the CEO should go.
And she keeps acting like this
because you keep covering for her.
You shouldn't do this for her sake.
[sighs wearily]
-Come on--
-[Mi-seon] I'm sorry.
But I am not feeling well right now,
so please excuse me.
Enjoy your dinner.
-[Ma-yong] But we have so much good food.
-[Tae-poong] Ms. Oh.
Go and get some rest.
[Ma-jin] This was why.
This was why I said
only you and I should've come.
That useless girl came for no reason.
-She only gets in our way--
-Mr. Go!
You two are both salespersons.
I didn't hire her.
And do you realize
how important it is to appoint people?
Wait, this is way too spicy.
-Was this served to kill me?
-Why did you eat it?
[Ma-jin groans]
I mean, did I say something wrong?
[sighs wearily]
[knock on door]
Eat this before you sleep.
You didn't get to eat earlier.
Mr. Kang.
I'll handle my own business.
-What?
-You know…
He says those things
because of how you act.
What did I do?
You keep treating me like this,
and it's honestly making me…
uncomfortable.
[sighs] Oh.
Like what?
Holding baggage and bringing food for you?
Even before this, you said--
That I liked you?
I was just expressing my feelings.
I'm not expecting anything.
Can't colleagues show each other
this kind of consideration?
If this feels uncomfortable,
that's just your insecurity.
My insecurity?
I've thought about it,
but I just don't get it.
Do you think you're not good enough?
[sighs wearily]
-Mr. Kang--
-You still need to eat.
It's from the lady of the guest house.
Here.
[door closes]
What is wrong with her?
Good grief.
-[exasperated sigh]
-[up-tempo music playing]
Darn it.
What's with you?
Let's go. You're being immature.
Man, she's really strong.
[music continues]
-Get out of my way. Jeez.
-Hey.
Gosh.
-There seems to be some tension today.
-Not at all.
-Hop in.
-Okay.
-You can get in first.
-Sure.
Goodness.
[music continues]
[Tae-poong] Ah!
All right. We're here!
[Tae-poong sighs]
[music ends]
-Should I carry this for you?
-No, I'm fine. I got it.
[Ma-yong]
It's scorching hot here, isn't it?
[Tae-poong] It's wonderful.
The sky is very high.
The sky is high everywhere.
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Wow! Where are these all from?
My gosh. These are huge.
-Gosh.
-This is Lamchaya Port.
[Tae-poong exclaims happily]
Ah!
[Tae-poong] Wow!
You're so fussy.
Why are you taking photos?
It's for the record.
Focus on our business
instead of making records.
She keeps doing these things
for no reason.
Stop bickering.
Let me take a photo of you three.
This will be a good memory. Stand here.
Memories, my foot.
It's a hot day, so let's go.
Let's take a picture to remember.
Mr. Go, this way, please.
You can stand right here.
I'll stand here
and take a great photo for you.
-Like this.
-All right.
Here we go. Okay!
I'll make sure you can see
the Lamchaya Port.
Here we go.
Ma-jin and Ms. Oh, get in the picture.
You aren't in the frame.
You're not in the picture,
so try to be more enthusiastic.
What are you doing, Ma-jin? Get in there.
-Okay.
-You have to get closer to look good.
-Come in here.
-Okay, then. Say kimchi!
-I'll take one.
-Mustard leaf kimchi!
Ma-jin, this isn't a passport photo.
You look too rigid.
I'll take one now. Okay.
Wait, like this.
-One, two…
-Kimchi!
I'm not doing this.
I don't want to take this.
[Ma-yong] Why, that…
That punk.
That car blocked everything.
I only got your feet, Ms. Oh.
-Forget it. They're my best feature.
-What do you mean? Goodness.
Feet?
Whatever. Mr. Kang, let's go.
I was only trying to make this better.
[exclaims in annoyance]
[exasperated sigh]
This doesn't seem right.
[sighs] Will this end well?
Mr. Go!
I want to take a tour of the port
instead of the customs office.
There's nothing to see there.
Goodness gracious.
I have to turn in some paperwork
to the customs office,
so it'll take a bit of time.
Arthit will come by later,
so you two should meet him.
He's good at English. [chuckles]
And yes, Ma-jin.
Did you prepare what I told you to?
Of course, I came prepared.
Okay, you can use those.
Cigarettes here are way too strong,
so these are very popular.
He'll be happy.
-Okay, then. I'll see you later.
-Sure.
[in Thai]
Hello. I'm here to submit a document.
Document submission is this way.
[Ma-yong] Thank you.
-[in Korean] I'll get going.
-Yes, sure.
-What are you doing?
-It's hard to tell, isn't it?
What time is it now? It's 11:00 a.m.
I'm sliding this in
to let him enjoy a good lunch.
This is what I call
having a sharp knack for sales.
You can't give him
both cigarettes and cash. That's bribing.
-Give it back.
-Let go of this. Ms. Oh.
Mr. Go.
Just go all out casual
and call me by my name.
Casual? You're way too old for that.
At least leave the cash out.
What's with you?
Look at you. What do you think sales is?
It's winning our clients' hearts,
yet you haven't even won
your superior's heart.
You should reflect on yourself
and figure out where you should be.
Who are you?
[in English] Hello, Mr. Go?
[both] Oh!
-Are you Mr. Arthit?
-Yes.
Ah!
[in Korean] Why? Why are you coming?
Go over there.
Pardon?
There are lots of seats, so go.
-[in English] It's very nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you too, Mr. Go.
I'm Mr. Go. Typhoon Company of Korea.
I have a, uh, gift for you.
These are Korean cigarettes and…
cash.
Take it. Hey, take it.
-A good lunch for you.
-Okay.
[in Korean] All right?
[in English] Okay.
-[Arthit] I'll do my best.
-[Ma-jin] Okay.
[in Korean] Where's Mr. Kang?
Why isn't he coming back?
What is it?
What pictures do you keep taking?
Mr. Kang told me
to leave a record of everything,
and I have to write a report too.
But keep it moderate.
Don't you know you're being impolite?
You look like a war correspondent.
You have no idea what's important
and keep doing superficial things.
This is exactly why I'm saying
you aren't salesperson material.
Then what?
Is the sales process
sliding bribes in secret?
Yes, that's it.
Do you even know what sales is
when you say that?
-What do you think is the basics of sales?
-I don't know.
You never told me, so how would I know?
-What are the basics of sales, then?
-Why should I tell you?
Who do you think you are?
You've only traveled to Pusan a few times
and solved one incident.
Do you suddenly feel important?
Now, tell me.
Did you do that? Or was it Mr. Kang?
You can't call that sales
if you didn't do it yourself.
What you did would make you…
We call that an assistant.
Isn't that so, Oh?
[soft melancholy music playing]
[frustrated sigh]
I got some beverages here.
Have some.
What's wrong?
What's wrong?
Ms. Oh, have some.
It's grape flavor.
Mr. Go!
I found some beverages.
[Ma-yong] Yes, let's go.
[Tae-poong] Okay. Let's go.
Goodness, here we go.
SAWADEE TRADING
Great work, everyone.
You all should freshen up a little.
And you'll all go to the club, right?
-[speaks indistinctly]
-No, you young people can go.
I'll stay in.
I don't need to go, either.
[Tae-poong] Wait.
This is a part of your job,
so be here on time.
If not, you two can travel by yourselves
starting tomorrow.
[Ma-yong] In that case,
I'll come by to pick you up later.
-[Mi-seon] Okay. Thank you.
-[Ma-jin] All right. Thanks.
[knock on door]
[in English] Are you going to the party?
Look.
It's beautiful.
[mid-tempo hip-hop music playing]
[in Korean]
Mr. Kang, you're all dressed up.
Well, I feel more comfortable in this
than sweatsuits.
-You look a bit--
-A bit awkward, right?
The lady gave this to me.
-The shoes are uncomfortable too.
-No, it's not that.
-Did you drop something?
-Hmm?
Is that mine?
[Tae-poong] All done.
[inhales deeply]
You definitely…
Definitely what?
[room door opens]
[door closes]
It's not like
I don't know how to dress up.
I've been there and done it all.
[Ha-neul, in English] Hey, beautiful girl!
-Good evening.
-[Mi-seon] Hi.
[in Thai] Hello. Please come in.
Hello.
[band playing slow jazz song]
[woman singing in English]
[in Korean] Oh! Over here, Mr. Kang.
Come on down.
Have a seat. You too, Ms. Oh.
Sit over here, Ma-jin.
And all the way in the back,
the girl in the classy black dress
is the youngest daughter
of Nihakham Group's chairman.
Ha-neul, make sure you mention
Mr. Kang to her, okay?
[Ha-neul, in English] Hey, Nicha.
-Hi.
-Hi.
[speaking Thai]
[in English] It's him?
Hi.
-[in Thai] Hello.
-Hello.
[band playing upbeat pop song]
[singing in Thai]
-[indistinct conversations]
-[people cheering]
-[in Korean] This club is banging.
-Isn't it?
-What's this song?
-It'll be hard for you to pronounce.
[in Thai] "Pood Eek Tee."
[in Korean]
It means, "Let us meet just this once."
-[in Thai] "Eek Tee"?
-"Pood Eek Tee."
[in Korean]
So why aren't you dancing? Get up.
-Go dance.
-Do you want to see my dance?
[Nicha, in English] Hi.
Oh, hi.
I'm Natnicha Nihakham.
My friends call me Nicha.
Nice to meet you. I'm Kang Tae-poong.
-I heard about you from Sky.
-Oh, Sky.
Yeah, that Sky.
So do you come to Thailand
for making money?
Oh, no.
To make opportunities.
Ah. That's great.
[band playing Frankie Valli's
"Can't Take My Eyes off You"]
[Tae-poong] Oh, I know this song.
-I like it.
-[Nicha] Really?
So, you should sing.
Me?
Absolutely! Just one song, please.
Just one song.
-[Tae-poong] Oh…
-You can do it. Yeah.
-[in Korean] Is she serious?
-[Ma-yong] Go out there and sing.
[Nicha, in English]
Let's sing. Let's go. You can do it.
[music continues]
[imperceptible]
[sighs wearily]
[in Korean] I feel like such a fool.
What are you doing here?
I wasn't done with my song.
I wanted a break. My feet hurt too much.
Really?
-Let me see it.
-No. Why? See what?
It's okay. What do you mean? I'm fine.
-Even your feet are pretty.
-What?
Huh?
-I've been holding it in, but it came out.
-My gosh.
One moment.
-I'm okay, really.
-But I'm not okay.
I'm fine.
[Tae-poong] Your feet are chafed.
Thank you.
[Tae-poong] Okay.
[Mi-seon winces]
Is the work hard?
No.
I wouldn't say it's hard.
I'm just wondering why I came here.
I'm not doing anything.
I only wasted money on the flight.
[Tae-poong breathing deeply]
Ms. Oh.
I desperately wanted
my father's approval.
While I was growing flowers,
I kept telling myself I'd show them to him
when they grow bigger and prettier.
But the right timing doesn't come
just by sitting and waiting.
But I'm sure
the late Mr. Kang already knew.
Exactly.
So don't try too hard. I already know you.
Okay.
Anyway,
what were you going to say to me
back at the guest house?
You tried to say something
after "definitely."
I told you that you looked pretty.
You definitely look pretty today.
-Do you always say people are pretty?
-No, I usually get that compliment.
[both chuckle]
Well, I don't know.
I'm not sure if you're pretty,
but you're an excellent singer.
How do you sing so well?
-[laughs] You think so?
-Yes.
When did you leave?
Uh…
[Mi-seon humming melody
from "Can't Take My Eyes off You"]
[in Korean] Yes, that part.

THE BRIGHT DAYS OF YOUTH
[blowing]
[slurping, coughing]
[in Korean] Mmm, nice.
That hit the spot.
I can't get used to the food here.
SPICY TUNA
Mmm!
[tapping table]
-[player turning on]
-[tape whirring]
[English pop song playing over earphones]
Oh, right. I'm here alone.
[song continues over speakers]
[volume increasing]
[in Korean] Do I look like him?
I don't think so.
What is this?
Is that a gun?
What has my dad been doing?
[sighs] Time for bed.
What? Who are you?
-[in Thai] Is he a Korean?
-Yes, he's a Korean.
-[in Korean] Wait, who are you?
-[in English] Typhoon Company?
-Typhoon Company?
-[in English] Yes.
[in Korean] What's going on?
Who are you?
-Why are you arresting me?
-[Mi-seon exclaiming]
-Ms. Oh!
-What?
-Why?
-[in English] Hey, stop, stop, stop!
-Stop!
-[in Korean] Mr. Kang.
[in English] What? Huh?
[cop] Police.
-[in Korean] What?
-Huh?
Okay, I'm coming.
-What's going on? Hey!
-Are you okay, Ms. Oh?
[Mi-seon]
Why are they doing this without a word?
[Tae-poong] I'll handle this.
But why, Mr. Kang?
They won't tell us the reason.
-Don't hold her too tightly.
-What's going on?
-Be gentle.
-Hey!
What is it?
-Why are you doing this?
-Ms. Oh!
What are you doing?
Did we do something wrong?
Wait a moment!
-They attacked me!
-So why?
-What are you doing?
-Where are we going?
-What is it?
-I didn't do anything!
What's going on?
-[cop speaking Thai]
-[in English] Hey, you guys police?
[in Korean] Be careful.
-[in English] Are you police?
-[in Korean] No, wait!
[clamoring]
-Okay, fine!
-Where are you taking us?
-Where are you taking us?
-Okay, I get it.
-[Tae-poong] Are you the police?
-[siren wailing]
The police?
Are you okay, Ms. Oh?
-I'm fine.
-Are you?
Obviously not.
What's going on right now?
Just be quiet.
I'm sure there's a misunderstanding.
How did you manage
to put on decent clothes?
You need to be in good clothes
especially in these times.
Stay alert no matter where you are.
Watch what I do.
[in English] Hey, Korean embassy, please.
Hey, okay.
Korean embassy, please.
-Embassy.
-Embassy. Korean embassy, please.
-Embassy.
-Korean embassy.
-Embassy, please.
-Please.
[speaking Thai]
Show me your passport.
-[in Korean] Pass… What?
-He wants your passport.
Passport. Right.
[in English] Okay.
English, please.
[in Korean] No, it's not that.
First of all, why are we here?
[in English] Why?
[speaking Thai]
-Hmm?
-[officer continues speaking Thai]
You guys gave money to an officer.
This is a serious charge.
[in Korean] What are you saying?
[in English] Okay. Uh…
-Okay, can I use this phone? This phone?
-Phone?
-Call.
-[officer speaking Thai]
No!
Don't use it!
[in Korean] No, don't do it. He said no.
I'm understanding some of the language.
-You're so awesome.
-I'm glad I studied.
What are you two doing right now?
You aren't here to take a test. Okay?
[speaking Thai]
You guys gave money to an officer.
Giving money is bribery.
[in Korean]
Money? He's talking about money.
Giving money…
-[gasps] Mr. Go!
-What? What is it?
I think that's it. The $50.
-Wait.
-What are we going to do?
Stop talking nonsense.
Why would the police do this over $50?
What is it? What about $50?
It's not even a big deal.
I gave an incentive
to the customs officer. No big deal.
An incense?
An incentive.
Incense? Incense is something you burn.
It's fine.
It was lunchtime,
so I gave him some lunch money.
-It's nothing wrong.
-Just for lunch?
No, he's a civil servant,
so it's considered bribing.
Bribing? You can't do that!
-Why didn't you stop him?
-I did, but he never listens to me.
It really hurts
when you two are like this.
I didn't do this just for my own good.
-It wasn't for my--
-[shouting in Thai]
Could you please be quiet?
-[in Korean] Okay.
-[speaking Thai]
Stupid ass!
-[in Korean] He said, "Be quiet, idiots."
-Yes, Ms. Oh. Please stop.
-[in English] Stop it.
-[in Korean] Okay. I just understood it.
-[tense music playing]
-He brought something.
-Is that for us?
-Yes.
[in English] This photo.
[in Korean]
Gosh, I don't think it looks like me.
Who's that?
Mr. Kang, it looks a little bit like you.
How does that look like me?
I mean, in these times,
take responsibility
and own up to this like the CEO you are.
I have two children to raise.
[in English] He is my boss.
[in Korean] I am the boss, but wait.
This is your mistake. Uh…
[speaking Thai]
Is it this guy?
[in Korean] No, it wasn't me.
How is this me?
His eyes are smaller than the nostrils.
-That's not me.
-You can't do that.
My pupils are huge.
Your eyes are longer.
Look at me, Ms. Oh.
They are sharp and long, yet big, right?
Are they saying this is me?
It's so suspicious.
Is it him?
[Tae-poong] This is so not me.
Yes. Take him in custody!
-[Ma-jin] How is this me?
-[speaking Thai]
[in Korean] It has to be you.
-Wait, what are they doing?
-[Tae-poong] What?
-[Mi-seon] What are you doing?
-Hey!
-Let go of him!
-Don't take him!
-No, you can't take him!
-[upbeat rock song playing]
[clamoring]
-Wait!
-Don't take him!
[Ma-jin] Just me?
Come back!
What do we do?
[clamoring continues]
THE BRIGHT DAYS OF YOUTH
[song continues]
TYPHOON FAMILY
[Ma-yong]
It says you bribed $10,000, not $50.
Wait, $10,000 equals over 15 million won.
Mr. Kang!
[Mi-seon] I saw it happen.
This is not right.
What about the meeting with Nihakham Group
as our potential client?
[Ma-yong] This must be why
we haven't received your helmets.
If you fail to explain,
they'll throw them out right away.
They'll destroy them.
[in English] Excuse me.
[in Korean] Where did you get this jacket?
What are the basics of being a CEO?
What would my father tell me to protect?
You're the coolest
and the prettiest person I have ever seen.
[song continues]
