TYPHOON FAMILY
[people gasp, murmur]
What on earth?
[judge, in English] Officer! What is this?
Everyone. Attention, please.
[upbeat rock music playing]
Look at this.
Date…
[camera clicks]
Port…
[camera clicks]
The man…
[camera clicks]
[Tae-poong] Mr. Arthit.
- …a gift for you.
- [camera clicking]
[Tae-poong, in Korean]
He's the customs officer
who took the $50 bribe.
[in English] And sun.
[Ma-yong, in Korean]
"At 6:00 p.m. on April 27th,
a Korean man gave me $10,000
as I was returning home."
That's that line.
It's noon, not evening.
[mid-tempo hip-hop music playing]
Sun!
Yes, he did it.
[Tae-poong, in Korean] Your Honor.
This film includes the entire instance
of grabbing money and handing it to him.
I wish to turn this film in as evidence.
And if necessary, I'd like to have
the photo studio owner as our witness.
- It's game over.
- Yes, it's game over.

- Yes, it's done.
- We did it!
- We did it!
- We did it!
- [both laugh awkwardly]
- [Tae-poong] Great work.
- Yes, great work.
We did it. [relieved sigh]
Oh, right. Here.
The old man at the photo studio
gave this back.
Your watch.
I'll take that.
We have to hurry.
COURT FOR CONCILIATION
- [Ma-jin] Mr. Kang. Ms. Oh.
- [Mi-seon] Hey.
- Mr. Go!
- [Tae-poong] Mr. Go!
- You've gone through so much trouble!
- You almost ended up in prison!
Who's the police chief? Get him here!
I'll show him the terror
of the Korean Marine Corps!
- Hold yourself back.
- I'll hold myself back.
Gosh, I'm free.
- You are.
- I'm free!
- I've been freed!
- [both] You've been freed!
I got freed!
- I'm free now!
- Wait.
Wait, what time is it?
- Why?
- It's already past 3:00 p.m.!
- The time! We have to go!
- We have to hurry.
What do you mean?
Our helmets will be disposed of
if this case isn't closed by 4:00.
Why are you here?
Why were you celebrating?
[Tae-poong] We ran around everywhere
trying our best to save you!
- Over there. That's the car.
- Hey!
- Over here!
- Here!
- Get in.
- To the port!
- No, you can't go!
- Why not?
- Why not?
- We're in huge trouble!
What now?
They're doing some construction work
on the highway,
so the entire road is closed off!
[Ha-neul, in English] Construction.
[in English and Thai] This car can't
go on the highway. We can't go.
[in Korean] If we can't take this car,
we'll take another way, then.
Goodness gracious.
It'll take at least an hour
to get to the port.
And there's no guarantee
that other roads will be open.
- What do we do?
- [Mi-seon] What now?
[Tae-poong] Let's find bicycles.
[Ma-yong]
How are you going to go on bicycles?
[Tae-poong] What else can we do, then?
I get scared. I'm not going!
[Mi-seon] Where are you going, Mr. Go?
- Where is he going?
- [Ma-yong] Where are you going?
Oh!
- Oh!
- [Mi-seon] What's going on?
What are you doing, Mr. Go?
When you're in doubt,
always take a motorcycle.
- Let's go, Ms. Oh.
- Okay.
I'll get behind you,
and Ms. Oh can hop on last.
You can come separately.
Why?
This motorcycle can't fit three.
We aren't kids, you know.
The sales team will go on our own.
- Bye.
- Hold tight!
Be careful!
MIN BURI CRIMINAL COUR
MIN BURI CIVIL COUR
What about me?
[theme song playing]
Thank you, Ms. Oh!
What? I can't hear you!
Hold tight!
I can't hear you, Mr. Go!
- And you smell awful!
- What?
You smell awful!
Don't worry!
We need to hurry, but be careful!
[song continues]
[Tae-poong] Let me come through!
[in Thai] Excuse me!
Whoo!
[in Korean] Coming through!
I'm sorry!
- [Mi-seon] Drive faster, Mr. Go!
- [Ma-jin] This motorcycle is too slow!
- [Mi-seon] Do you know the direction?
- [Ma-jin] Trust me!
- Just trust in me!
- [Mi-seon] Eyes on the road!
[song ends]
- Be careful, Mr. Go.
- [chuckles]
- [dog barking]
- Don't worry! [laughs]
You're going too fast!
Don't worry about it!
[engine sputtering]
- [Mi-seon] What's going on? What is it?
- Wait a second.
- What's with this?
- [Mi-seon] What?
- This can't happen. What's going on?
- Is it broken? Why?
- Why? What's the matter?
- [engine stalling]
- It won't move.
- Did it break down?
- What's with this?
- What are we going to do?
- Why would it break down now?
- We should do something.
We'll do something. But…
- This is driving me insane.
- Wait, what do we do?
What now? Wait.
- Let's see.
- Darn it.
- Has the engine given up?
- Can you even tell by looking?
What would I know even if I looked?
I don't know anything.
- But we have to do something…
- [engine stalling]
Hey, what's… What's with this?
- Mr. Go, I'll get there faster if I run.
- What?
Where are you going?
Ms. Oh! Ms. Oh!
[engine stalling]
Hey.
Hop in.
It's you, Mr. Kang.
- [in English] Let's go!
- [revving]
[in Korean] Mi-seon has gone far.
I don't see her anymore.
- Did she run?
- Yes.
Why would she do that?
[tense dramatic music playing]
PRIVATE CAR LANE
- [truck honks]
- [Ma-jin] Whoa!
Okay, just trust me.
Ms. Oh!
Oh, no…
Wait! Wait a moment!
[in English] Just wait a moment! Wait!
[in Korean] Hold on! Wait, no. Wait.
- [man, in Thai] Get out.
- I'm begging you. Please.
- Wait! Stop!
- Get out.
- [in English] They're almost here.
- [in Thai] Get out. It's dangerous.
- Hurry up!
- It's dangerous.
- Let's get going.
- Get out. It's dangerous.
- [in Korean] One moment.
- Hurry up, quick!
Wait just a little.
- [in English] They're almost here.
- [in Thai] It's dangerous.
- [in English] Please…
- [in Thai] What's she saying? One minute!
- No, wait.
- Hey!
Jeez.
- Get down.
- Get out.
- Get down.
- Get out. It's dangerous.
- No, stop!
- [in Thai] Get out.
- [in English] Ten minutes! Stop, please.
- [in Thai] Get out.
- Ten minutes. Ten minutes.
- Get her out of here.
- You can't. Wait…
- Get out.
- No, wait! They're almost here!
- Get out.
Wait!
You can't! No!
I won't let you.
No, wait!
Stop!
Stop!
Please…
- [upbeat rock song playing]
- [tires squealing]
[Mi-seon, in English] No… Stop!
[in Korean] Ms. Oh!
No…
- Hold tight, Mr. Go!
- What?
[revving]
[Tae-poong] Whoa!
- Move!
- Move aside!
- Move aside!
- Move aside!
Move aside, all of you!
- Ms. Oh! Move aside!
- Move aside!
- Ms. Oh!
- Move it!
No…
[accelerating]
[song continues]
Move aside!
- Mi-seon!
- Move aside!
[groans]
[grunts]
[groaning]
Are you okay, Mr. Go?
[panting] I'm fine.
No, I'm not fine! [screaming]
Stop it!
[screams, pants]
- [tire bursts]
- [screams]
[tire hissing]
[Tae-poong] Get out.
Mr. Kang, are you all right?
I'm fine.
- Here.
- Yes.
Take it.
[in Thai] What? Get out of the way!
[in Korean] I have it. Hold on.
Here.
FINE PAID IN FULL PER VERDIC
DEFENDANT DISCHARGED
[in Thai] Is this real?
[in English] Thank you.
[in Korean] What's going on?
The tuktuk! Hold it.
- That was so shocking.
- It worked.
- Hey, your forehead.
- What about it?
You're bleeding.
- I'm bleeding?
- Oh, no.
I'm fine.
- I'm sorry I'm late.
- No, it's okay.
Are you really okay?
- Are you okay, Mr. Go?
- I'm not, but I guess I'm fine.
[panting]
[in English] Are you okay?
Yeah.
[song ends]
[relieved sigh]
[in English and Thai] Thank you.
[in Korean]
They look like they've seen better days,
but they should be fine, right?
After all, these are helmets.
They look fine.
The insides are destroyed.
Argh!
They'll run it through customs again.
What's wrong? What is it?
[sighs]
What happened to these?
Are they all in this condition?
Wait. Hold on.
I'm sure some are…
Do we have to throw out all of these?
What about this one?
Are they all like this?
Wait a second. What do we do now?
What do we do?
Do we have to throw them out or what?
What do we do?
[Mi-seon breathing shakily]
No, we…
Wait.
- [Tae-poong] Ms. Oh.
- No, wait.
- It's okay. We can start again.
- No, give me a second.
[Mi-seon sobbing]
Wait, Mr. Kang.
In the end, we failed.
We couldn't find a client,
make sales, or save the inventory.
[Ma-jin] Don't worry. It's okay.
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh, it's okay.
We did our best.
I never realized it before,
but you're very good at your job.
You've done so well, Ms. Oh.
Senior Staff Oh Mi-seon,
you were the best trader. Mmm-hmm.
You've done well. It's all right.
- You did a good job.
- What do we do?
You did well. We can do it over.
[Mi-seon] I'm so frustrated.
What do we do?
[continues sobbing] I'm so frustrated.
I smell, don't I?
You don't.
What do we do? [continues sobbing]
[Tae-poong and Ma-jin] Cheers.
[Ma-jin exhales]
- [Mi-seon groans]
- But still, I'm so relieved.
In the end, we didn't lose everything.
We still managed to save 140 helmets.
It came through customs,
so we won't face more problems, right?
We'll do our best
to sell everything we have.
YEOPJIP RAMYEON
Mmm! Should we export ramyeon?
Isn't it too spicy for foreigners?
The spiciness makes it unique.
I think it'll be a hit.
We were going to throw away
that T-shirt, remember?
Why would you throw away
this perfectly good T-shirt?
This is proof
of my youthful days when I was 27.
It takes me back
to the sentiment from those days,
when I listened
to Deulgukhwa and Infinite Track.
Were you in high school?
I was in eighth grade,
and I loved Lee Sang-eun's "Dam-Da-Di."
Our age gap is way too big
for us to sit together.
[laughs]
Back in the day,
when I was in tenth grade,
Nam-mo and I skipped military drill,
went to watch
Kim Soo-nyung's archery game,
got caught by the drill instructor,
and got beaten up ten times.
That's why I have a huge butt.
- [Mi-seon and Tae-poong laughing]
- Ah! The student military drill?
You must've practiced
with wooden guns, right?
We did it with real guns.
When did you start elementary school?
You're old.
I mean, real guns?
[soft laughter]
It was a turbulent time.
Everything and everyone was suspicious.
However…
You know, uh,
just because I'm older,
it doesn't mean I'm wiser.
Who would've known I'd make
such huge trouble in this foreign land?
And I acted like I was full of myself
when I talked to Ms. Oh.
Those $50 were just 70,000 won.
I thought it was petty money,
but it led me to lose a huge amount.
The fine seemed pretty heavy.
I'll do something to pay that back.
Don't mention it.
Everything happened
while you were working,
so we'll write it off.
But we have to pay for this business trip
and pay off Kangseong Helmet's balance.
I already came up with a plan in my head.
I feel too ashamed.
I'm sorry.
[Tae-poong] Goodness.
[Mi-seon] Mr. Go.
I was the one who turned off the lights
whenever you were in the restroom.
I'm sorry.
- So, it was you.
- Yes.
I think this is really great.
I finally feel like we're a team.
All right, from now on,
let us stand hand in hand.
- We'll get past walls and stay as a team.
- [Ma-jin laughs] Okay.
- All right.
- Let's go!
You're starting to sound like a real CEO.
Of course I am.
[Mi-seon] Wait,
you two couldn't eat cilantro before.
Hand in hand we stand.
[Tae-poong chuckles]
Come on. I'm really fine.
That wound can leave a scar.
- It stings.
- Hang on a second.
- [winces]
- Oh, no. [blowing]
Okay. All done.
Does it still sting?
It kind of stings,
but it kind of doesn't. I'm not sure.
Someone told me not
to get up close and personal.
Please excuse me, then. Get a good rest.
Ms. Oh.
I have something to tell you.
- Thank you.
- What?
I thought about it
and realized I never said this.
When I was in trouble
or when I felt I was all alone,
you were always there with me.
Thank you, Ms. Oh Mi-seon.
[soft captivating music playing]
[ice clinks]
I was just doing my job,
whenever I had to do it.
Because you have to write
the business trip log?
Because records last longer than memories.
We'll need to take
disciplinary action too.
No.
I prefer memories over records.
EPISODE 10
YOU AND I
[cheerful pop song playing]
I'll miss this so much once we go back.
- Eat up.
- Okay.
Does anyone sell this in Korea?
- I doubt it.
- No way. That's just ridiculous.
What's this red thing?
Put it in the front and back.
- Go Ma-jin!
- Hey.
- He's here.
- [Ma-jin] Yes.
- Hey, Ma-jin.
- Hey.
Hello.
- Get the boat closer.
- Pull it.
- Closer.
- Right here.
- Hey, Ma-jin.
- Hey.
Goodness.
- Hey, Ma-jin!
- Hey!
- Hello.
- It must've been a rough journey.
Goodness, it must've been hard.
Mr. Kang and Ms. Oh,
it's a shame to see you go.
Let us meet again, okay?
- Yes.
- My goodness.
Hey, Ha-neul.
What are you waiting for?
Come and say goodbye.
[in English] Hey, Sunny.
I'll miss you. I'll wait for you.
[in Korean] Don't go.
- Here.
- [Tae-poong, in English] Okay.
Forget me not, Sky.
[in Thai] Thank you.
- [in Korean] Goodbye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
It's such a shame to see you go.
Now, come along.
Are you sure you can do this alone?
Mr. Kang, going around on foot
is the best way to do sales.
I'll see the numbers working
once I put my feet to work.
Of course, it'd be great
if I could sell all 140 at once.
But I don't care if I can't do that.
If I sell ten helmets
to 14 different places,
there will be at least one or two places
where I sell big and hit the jackpot.
It will happen.
And I'm not here alone.
Now, we're ahead of the game
with my experience and connections.
- See you in Seoul.
- [Mi-seon] Okay.
- Wait.
- What?
Let's do a cheer for our business.
- Why are we doing this?
- On the count of three.
- Typhoon Trading, let's go!
- Let's go.
We weren't in sync.
- [Ma-jin] Let's do this.
- Yes, let's do it!
Let's do this!
- All right. Go now.
- [Mi-seon] You can do it!
- Come and visit, okay?
- Okay.
My goodness.
Mr. Kang.
Keep an eye on my dear Ms. Oh, will you?
Since when was she your dear Ms. Oh?
Be careful.
It's such a shame to see you go…
Ms. Oh, I'll make money
and bring some dried mangoes home.
- And big peanuts!
- Okay!
Mangoes are for me.
Make sure you visit!
- Bye!
- Bye! Be careful!
Drive safely!
Bye!
Why isn't she here yet?
It's about time she came back.
Mi-seon!
Hey, Beom.
Oh! You're back!
- [Mi-seon] We're back.
- It must've been exhausting.
- Was it a tough journey?
- No.
We had a good journey.
- [Jeong-mi] You look so thin.
- [Bun-i gasps]
- Have you been well?
- Hey.
- I'm home, Grandma.
- You're back, Mi-seon!
- Mi-seon!
- Hey.
- I got you a present.
- You did? Show me.
Did you miss me or not?
Did you or did you not?
[Beom] Let's see them.
- [all exclaiming]
- That's a lot.
[Mi-ho] You got so many things.
Why did you get so much stuff?
That's mine.
- No, mine.
- No.
Does the US Army Base have
a lot of great things like these?
This could look tacky
if the wrong person holds this.
It looks good only on someone like me.
Tae-poong has such good taste.
- It's pretty.
- Hey, you.
Was this the best you could do?
What is this? It's blue!
It makes me look like a ghost!
Didn't you see anything in pink or red?
Darn it. You're the worst.
Why did you get me this?
- Thank you.
- It's tasty.
Is there anything else?
She's a ghost.
- [Jeong-mi] Stop it, ma'am.
- [Bun-i] She's a ghost.
- Mi-seon, what is this?
- What?
You can wear it to work.
It looked comfortable.
Darn it. Keep it for yourself.
- This sucks.
- [Beom] It's cute.
It's pretty. I'm jealous of you, Mi-ho.
- Here.
- You can keep it.
Grandma?
- Goodness, no.
- Eat this.
- [Bun-i] Don't give it to me.
- [Mi-ho] The banana's delicious.
Why isn't he home yet?
It's so cramped.
Beom, you said you'd sleep with Grandma.
It's been so long
since we've seen Mi-seon.
- I'm thirsty, Mi-ho.
- Be quiet and swallow your spit.
Go to sleep.

- Thank you.
- Sure.
Eat up.
- It's so hot.
- Is it?
What is it?
- Your lips.
- Right.
- Your lips.
- Is something on it?
Thank you.
[huffing] It's so hot.
- Oh, my.
- My gosh.
Why did you…
Why did you pull out the straw?
You can wipe it now.
- Is it in my nose?
- No, you're fine.
- [Mi-seon] Be careful.
- Okay.
- Goodbye.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
- Wait, Ms. Oh.
- [song fades out]
We aren't going there.
- We aren't going to work?
- Well, we are.
- But we aren't going in that direction.
- What?
- Our office is this way.
- No, we're over here.
What?
What have you done now?
Stand right there.
[Mi-seon gasps] My gosh, Mr. Kang.
What is this?
- The thing is--
- [Ma-jin] What?
Hey, over here.
You just sent me a random address.
What is this?
- Hello, Mr. Bae.
- Hey.
Allow me to present Typhoon Trading.
I'm not really into fried chicken.
[Ma-jin] Why did you call him?
I was raised with good food,
so palm oil doesn't work with me.
- Wipe that margarine off your face first.
- [Tae-poong laughs]
Anyway, let's go inside.
- Okay.
- All right.
TYPHOON TRADING
[Tae-poong clears throat, sucks teeth]
This is Typhoon Trading version 2.0.
Mr. Kang, when did you make this decision?
Uh…
It started in Thailand.
Things were too hectic back then,
so I didn't get a chance to tell you.
And our team wasn't in good spirits.
Uh, also,
I needed some money
to handle my responsibilities as the CEO.
But because I made you move here
without discussing this beforehand,
I am very sorry…
about that matter.
- [Ma-jin] No.
- [Mi-seon] It's okay.
Is there something on the floor?
- The floor?
- What's that?
If you think about it, we couldn't afford
an office like that in our situation.
Please stop, Mr. Kang.
It's not like we'll stick around here
for a long time, right?
Of course not.
We'll go back to our office.
- Yes, of course.
- Yes.
Was this previously a pub?
It was a pub my friend ran,
but he's taking some time off.
So, we're using this for the time being.
[Ma-jin] It has running water, right?
Of course it does. It has electricity too.
The Internet modem works as well.
Are you all right?
It's working fine.
Did they move out in a hurry?
Look at this place.
We could start frying chicken now.
[slow dreamy music playing]
MOMO'S PUB
- [in English] Let's go!
- [Ma-jin] Go.
- [in Korean] Let's do this!
- Go!
[Tae-poong] All right!
[Tae-poong grunting]
- [Ma-jin] Careful with your back.
- Let's go!
- [Ma-jin] Be careful.
- Careful.
- All right!
- Be careful.
Is it that heavy?
Now, let's move this.
MONTHLY SCHEDULE AND PLANNER
[Tae-poong grunting loudly]
Is this okay?
- Put it this way.
- Turn it around.
No, go the other way.
- The other way?
- Wait, no. I'm sorry.
We're almost done.
All done.
THE CONTAC
CHRISTMAS IN AUGUS
[dreamy music continues]
Has anybody been watering this?
That was Mr. Koo's duty,
but no one else did it once he left.
- Does that beer machine work?
- [Tae-poong] It does.
[Ma-jin] Whoa!
- Does it work?
- Whoa!
- What?
- [Ma-jin] This is awesome.
[Mi-seon] What are you doing?
- What do you think you're doing?
- I wanted to test it and see if it worked.
Why would you test that?
Of course it'll work once it's plugged.
- Jeez.
- Okay. I'll be careful from now on.
Please do. We have to save on everything.
I mean, we can grab a glass of beer
from time to time while we work now.
MOMO'S PUB
These two…
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hey, you're here.
- These two are for you, right?
- That's right.
- [Nam-mo] Thank you.
- Sure.
- How much is this, ma'am?
- Yes?
Why? Do you want one for yourself?
- What? [laughs]
- Ooh!
You have such a cute smile.
[woman laughs]
Take it.
- You're giving it for free?
- Sure.
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Here. Take this.
- Goodbye, then.
- Bye.
[grunting]
I thought it would look shabby,
but it turned out to be a decent office.
It looks rather cozy.
What about the kitchen?
Should we use it as a meeting room?
My friend wanted to use it,
so he asked us to leave it alone.
[door opens]
We have a freeloader now?
Did you call me a freeloader?
The lease is under my name.
What is this, Tae-poong?
You said you'd only use half.
We're paying 50-50, but you want me
to be locked up in the kitchen?
- We're paying 50-50?
- I guess so.
Hey, push this over.
Then you can come out.
We have extra seats, no doubt!
Stop talking nonsense
and draw the halfway line.
- Push it!
- Hold on.
Let's do this, then.
Give him a hug!
- What are you doing?
- Okay. Welcome!
Welcome to Typhoon Family.
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
- I'm glad you're here.
- How endearing.
- Welcome.
I'll turn on the light!
TYPHOON TRADING
MOMO'S PUB
[Tae-poong and Mi-seon] Uh…
It's hard to make out both.
"Momo's Typhoon Trading."
- Turn it off.
- [Song-jung] Turn it off?
This way, you can see both.
[Dae-hyeop] This way.

FOR LEASE
TYPHOON TRADING
See? I told you.
They're done for good.
[scoffs]
[rattling]
[Hyun-jun] "Notice of Office Relocation."
[Dae-hyeop] I'm telling you they're done.
We aren't done.
This is just the beginning.
The beginning of your suffering.
[muttering indistinctly]
Aren't you hot? Have something cold.
[in English] Thank you.
[in Korean] My back hurts. [groans]
- Hey, cheers.
- Cheers.
- Oh, man.
- How's your mother?
What happened?
It was a human marketing.
In other words, a pyramid scheme.
My dear Ms. Kim Eul-nyeo reached
the Sapphire tier with our mortgage money.
Everyone who reached the jewel tier
were crying together in that office.
They were Ruby, Sapphire,
and Diamond tiers.
[scoffs] Doesn't it sound like
a fairy tale?
It must've been upsetting, Nam-mo.
It's not something
for me to be upset about.
It's my mom who's struggling.
My mom
held my hand and cried.
She said she was sorry.
[sighs] But, Tae-poong,
I'm not going down like this.
I'm the head of my household.
- I'll live a diligent life.
- Of course.
Although I'm not sure
what your mom's thinking.
Also, I'm seeing someone.
Of course. Although I'm not sure
how that woman feels…
What? Who is she?
There's this woman,
the prettiest woman you know.
She reminds me of an adorable deer
that drinks from a spring in a mountain
or a girl who lives in the Alps,
just 4,000 meters above sea level.
Anyway, she's that pretty.
[chuckles softly]
Why, you! Is it Ms. Oh?
She's more like a tigress from Jirisan!
Then who is this girl
who resembles the deer in the Alps?
Hey, go back to your job!
What do you know about love?
I can never tell what women are thinking.
You're just a fool
who only knows how to export.
[huffs]
I mean…
Don't you start dating after a kiss?
Are you out of your mind?
You need to marry her!
- Right?
- Who did you kiss?
- What?
- Why didn't you tell me? Who was it?
Is she pretty?
- Yes.
- Who is it? Tell me.
It can't be. Not the tigress from Jirisan.
Is it her?
Yes.
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
- Man, this is crazy!
- [cheerful pop song playing]
This is impossible.
[song continues]
Ms. Oh.
Right. Thank you.
- [in English] Good morning.
- Good morning.
- [in Korean] Mi-seon.
- Yes?
Here, have some tea.
Thank you.
What's going on?
Why do you two look so close?
Actually, we are--
I came down… [coughs] …with a cold.
[continues coughing]
Don't cough at me.
I don't want to catch it.
I'm sorry.
[whispers] You're coughing? Then…
[song ends]
I didn't know she caught a cold.
Wait a second, Ms. Oh.
Let me get this from now on.
Huh? Why?
Ms. Oh? That doesn't sound right.
- What should I call you?
- What do you mean?
I mean,
we're now dating, so…
[exclaims] Mr. Kang.
When did we say we'd start dating?
Last night, we kissed…
[shushing]
The kiss?
It's not that…
People don't start dating
just because it happened once.
We don't do that in this day and age.
Then why did you kiss me?
- Were you toying with me?
- No, it's not that.
[Ma-jin] Are you coming?
- Should I do all the work?
- [Mi-seon] I'm coming.
[Ma-jin exclaims]
- We'll talk later.
- Wait a second.
What about staying by my side?
What do you mean?
We're together at work and at home.
We should talk again later.
We're running late.
He didn't even ask me out,
so why does he suddenly think
that we're dating?
[Nam-mo] Yes, I get it. I know the answer.
She doesn't like you.
- Then why did she kiss me?
- Why do you chew gum?
- Because I get bored.
- That's exactly it. You know the answer.
Hey, you're way too slow.
No, it wasn't like that.
Jeez. You and your pride.
Goodness gracious. Hold on.
What time is it?
Wait, did you buy a cell phone?
Don't you have one?
You should get one.
How can you run a business without it?
Right. I have to go to your place today.
- My place? Why?
- Right? Why am I going?
Oh, it's to hang out with you.
- With me?
- Yes, I'll go there first.
Bye.
[door opens]
- With me?

[music ends]
Let's hang out, Tae-poong!
Hello.
Who's that?
Oh. Tae-poong said he'd be late.
[Nam-mo] Really?
That's weird.
I even brought some clothes for him.
I said I didn't want to buy them.
Why do you keep bothering me?
I got some for you too.
- [Jeong-mi] Have you had dinner?
- No, I actually haven't eaten dinner.
- [Bun-i] What is that?
- I'll show you later.
[Jeong-mi] Goodness.
[mouthing] Wang Nam-mo.
[whispering indistinctly]
[Bun-i] Goodness, Mr. Wang.
You're even good at doing chores.
You're rather decent for a man.
[resumes chopping]
I'll cook you a delicious meal, ma'am.
- You look great, Grandma.
- Yes, it looks great on you.
[Jeong-mi] You look so cute. How adorable.
- [Bun-i] This is nice.
- [Jeong-mi] How cute.
I don't think these are right for me.
Hey, Beom.
Don't you know anything about hip-hop?
I don't. How is this called hip-hop?
You should thank him
for the thought. Sit down.
[Beom] Okay. Fine. Thank you.
I don't see anything
that Tae-poong can wear.
Goodness.
- Are these mine?
- Yes, they're yours.
[Jeong-mi] Thank you so much.
I can't wait to wear them.
I thought you were with Mr. Kang.
What? We left together.
Ah, Mi-seon. I got you some too.
This floral pattern
is the most popular in Dongdaemun now.
[Bun-i] Give me those.
- Those are mine.
- Yes, give them to her.
[Nam-mo] Yes, these are yours.
- These look warm.
- These are tights.
- Yes, they're tights.
- Yes.
- You got socks and pants.
- These are for Mi-seon.
[Jeong-mi] Here you go.
Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you.
- Eat up.
- Thank you.
Grandma, go ahead.
[whispering indistinctly]
- [Jeong-mi] Have some rice.
- [Mi-ho] Watch it.
Beom, is that how you were raised?
- Come on.
- Eat some more.
- Make sure to chew carefully.
- Goodness.
- Have this, Beom.
- Goodness.
It's nice to eat with many people.

Hey, Mr. Koo.
Stop it! Stop!
I've lost my way,

[Mi-seon] I don't want to be dependent

Let's keep our focus

Who's the police chief? Get him here!

Our helmets will be disposed of
if this case isn't closed by 4:00.
Why are you here?
Why were you celebrating?
[Tae-poong] We ran around everywhere
trying our best to save you!
- Over there. That's the car.
- Hey!
- Over here!
- Here!
- Get in.
- To the port!
- No, you can't go!
- Why not?
- Why not?
- We're in huge trouble!
What now?
They're doing some construction work
on the highway,
so the entire road is closed off!
[Ha-neul, in English] Construction.
[in English and Thai] This car can't
go on the highway. We can't go.
[in Korean] If we can't take this car,
we'll take another way, then.
Goodness gracious.
It'll take at least an hour
to get to the port.
And there's no guarantee
that other roads will be open.
- What do we do?
- [Mi-seon] What now?
[Tae-poong] Let's find bicycles.
[Ma-yong]
How are you going to go on bicycles?
[Tae-poong] What else can we do, then?
I get scared. I'm not going!
[Mi-seon] Where are you going, Mr. Go?

- [Ma-yong] Where are you going?
Oh!
- Oh!
- [Mi-seon] What's going on?
What are you doing, Mr. Go?
When you're in doubt,
always take a motorcycle.
- Let's go, Ms. Oh.
- Okay.
I'll get behind you,
and Ms. Oh can hop on last.
You can come separately.
Why?
This motorcycle can't fit three.
We aren't kids, you know.

We'll do something. But…

What now? Wait.

What would I know even if I looked?
I don't know anything.

Hey, what's… What's with this?

Yeah.
[song ends]
[relieved sigh]
[in English and Thai] Thank you.
[in Korean]
They look like they've seen better days,
but they should be fine, right?
After all, these are helmets.
They look fine.
The insides are destroyed.
Argh!
They'll run it through customs again.
What's wrong? What is it?
[sighs]
What happened to these?
Are they all in this condition?
Wait. Hold on.
I'm sure some are…
Do we have to throw out all of these?
What about this one?
Are they all like this?
Wait a second. What do we do now?
What do we do?
Do we have to throw them out or what?
What do we do?
[Mi-seon breathing shakily]
No, we…
Wait.
- [Tae-poong] Ms. Oh.
- No, wait.
- It's okay. We can start again.
- No, give me a second.
[Mi-seon sobbing]
Wait, Mr. Kang.
In the end, we failed.
We couldn't find a client,
make sales, or save the inventory.
[Ma-jin] Don't worry. It's okay.
Ms. Oh.
Ms. Oh, it's okay.
We did our best.
I never realized it before,
but you're very good at your job.
You've done so well, Ms. Oh.
Senior Staff Oh Mi-seon,
you were the best trader. Mmm-hmm.
You've done well. It's all right.
- You did a good job.
- What do we do?
You did well. We can do it over.
[Mi-seon] I'm so frustrated.
What do we do?
[continues sobbing] I'm so frustrated.
I smell, don't I?
You don't.
What do we do? [continues sobbing]
[Tae-poong and Ma-jin] Cheers.
[Ma-jin exhales]
- [Mi-seon groans]
- But still, I'm so relieved.
In the end, we didn't lose everything.
We still managed to save 140 helmets.
It came through customs,
so we won't face more problems, right?
We'll do our best
to sell everything we have.
YEOPJIP RAMYEON
Mmm! Should we export ramyeon?
Isn't it too spicy for foreigners?
The spiciness makes it unique.
I think it'll be a hit.
We were going to throw away
that T-shirt, remember?
Why would you throw away
this perfectly good T-shirt?
This is proof
of my youthful days when I was 27.
It takes me back
to the sentiment from those days,
when I listened
to Deulgukhwa and Infinite Track.
Were you in high school?
I was in eighth grade,
and I loved Lee Sang-eun's "Dam-Da-Di."
Our age gap is way too big
for us to sit together.
[laughs]
Back in the day,
when I was in tenth grade,
Nam-mo and I skipped military drill,
went to watch
Kim Soo-nyung's archery game,
got caught by the drill instructor,
and got beaten up ten times.
That's why I have a huge butt.
- [Mi-seon and Tae-poong laughing]
- Ah! The student military drill?
You must've practiced
with wooden guns, right?
We did it with real guns.
When did you start elementary school?
You're old.
I mean, real guns?
[soft laughter]
It was a turbulent time.
Everything and everyone was suspicious.
However…
You know, uh,
just because I'm older,
it doesn't mean I'm wiser.
Who would've known I'd make
such huge trouble in this foreign land?
And I acted like I was full of myself
when I talked to Ms. Oh.
Those $50 were just 70,000 won.
I thought it was petty money,
but it led me to lose a huge amount.
The fine seemed pretty heavy.
I'll do something to pay that back.
Don't mention it.
Everything happened
while you were working,
so we'll write it off.
But we have to pay for this business trip
and pay off Kangseong Helmet's balance.
I already came up with a plan in my head.
I feel too ashamed.
I'm sorry.
[Tae-poong] Goodness.
[Mi-seon] Mr. Go.
I was the one who turned off the lights
whenever you were in the restroom.
I'm sorry.
- So, it was you.
- Yes.
I think this is really great.
I finally feel like we're a team.
All right, from now on,
let us stand hand in hand.
- We'll get past walls and stay as a team.
- [Ma-jin laughs] Okay.
- All right.
- Let's go!
You're starting to sound like a real CEO.
Of course I am.
[Mi-seon] Wait,
you two couldn't eat cilantro before.
Hand in hand we stand.
[Tae-poong chuckles]
Come on. I'm really fine.
That wound can leave a scar.
- It stings.
- Hang on a second.
- [winces]
- Oh, no. [blowing]
Okay. All done.
Does it still sting?
It kind of stings,
but it kind of doesn't. I'm not sure.
Someone told me not
to get up close and personal.
Please excuse me, then. Get a good rest.
Ms. Oh.
I have something to tell you.
- Thank you.
- What?
I thought about it
and realized I never said this.
When I was in trouble
or when I felt I was all alone,
you were always there with me.
Thank you, Ms. Oh Mi-seon.
[soft captivating music playing]
[ice clinks]
I was just doing my job,
whenever I had to do it.
Because you have to write
the business trip log?
Because records last longer than memories.
We'll need to take
disciplinary action too.
No.
I prefer memories over records.

YOU AND I
[cheerful pop song playing]
I'll miss this so much once we go back.
- Eat up.
- Okay.
Does anyone sell this in Korea?
- I doubt it.
- No way. That's just ridiculous.
What's this red thing?
Put it in the front and back.
- Go Ma-jin!
- Hey.
- He's here.
- [Ma-jin] Yes.
- Hey, Ma-jin.

Hello.

Goodness.

- Hey!
- Hello.
- It must've been a rough journey.
Goodness, it must've been hard.
Mr. Kang and Ms. Oh,
it's a shame to see you go.
Let us meet again, okay?
- Yes.
- My goodness.
Hey, Ha-neul.
What are you waiting for?
Come and say goodbye.
[in English] Hey, Sunny.
I'll miss you. I'll wait for you.
[in Korean] Don't go.
- Here.
- [Tae-poong, in English] Okay.
Forget me not, Sky.
[in Thai] Thank you.
- [in Korean] Goodbye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
It's such a shame to see you go.
Now, come along.
Are you sure you can do this alone?
Mr. Kang, going around on foot
is the best way to do sales.
I'll see the numbers working
once I put my feet to work.
Of course, it'd be great
if I could sell all 140 at once.
But I don't care if I can't do that.
If I sell ten helmets
to 14 different places,
there will be at least one or two places
where I sell big and hit the jackpot.
It will happen.
And I'm not here alone.
Now, we're ahead of the game
with my experience and connections.
- See you in Seoul.
- [Mi-seon] Okay.
- Wait.
- What?
Let's do a cheer for our business.
- Why are we doing this?
- On the count of three.
- Typhoon Trading, let's go!
- Let's go.
We weren't in sync.
- [Ma-jin] Let's do this.
- Yes, let's do it!
Let's do this!
- All right. Go now.
- [Mi-seon] You can do it!
- Come and visit, okay?
- Okay.
My goodness.
Mr. Kang.
Keep an eye on my dear Ms. Oh, will you?
Since when was she your dear Ms. Oh?
Be careful.
It's such a shame to see you go…
Ms. Oh, I'll make money
and bring some dried mangoes home.
- And big peanuts!
- Okay!
Mangoes are for me.
Make sure you visit!
- Bye!
- Bye! Be careful!
Drive safely!
Bye!
Why isn't she here yet?
It's about time she came back.
Mi-seon!
Hey, Beom.
Oh! You're back!
- [Mi-seon] We're back.
- It must've been exhausting.
- Was it a tough journey?
- No.
We had a good journey.
- [Jeong-mi] You look so thin.
- [Bun-i gasps]
- Have you been well?
- Hey.
- I'm home, Grandma.
- You're back, Mi-seon!
- Mi-seon!
- Hey.
- I got you a present.
- You did? Show me.
Did you miss me or not?
Did you or did you not?
[Beom] Let's see them.
- [all exclaiming]
- That's a lot.
[Mi-ho] You got so many things.
Why did you get so much stuff?
That's mine.
- No, mine.
- No.
Does the US Army Base have
a lot of great things like these?
This could look tacky
if the wrong person holds this.
It looks good only on someone like me.
Tae-poong has such good taste.
- It's pretty.
- Hey, you.
Was this the best you could do?
What is this? It's blue!
It makes me look like a ghost!
Didn't you see anything in pink or red?
Darn it. You're the worst.
Why did you get me this?
- Thank you.
- It's tasty.
Is there anything else?
She's a ghost.
- [Jeong-mi] Stop it, ma'am.
- [Bun-i] She's a ghost.
- Mi-seon, what is this?
- What?
You can wear it to work.
It looked comfortable.
Darn it. Keep it for yourself.
- This sucks.
- [Beom] It's cute.
It's pretty. I'm jealous of you, Mi-ho.
- Here.
- You can keep it.
Grandma?
- Goodness, no.
- Eat this.
- [Bun-i] Don't give it to me.
- [Mi-ho] The banana's delicious.
Why isn't he home yet?
It's so cramped.
Beom, you said you'd sleep with Grandma.
It's been so long
since we've seen Mi-seon.
- I'm thirsty, Mi-ho.
- Be quiet and swallow your spit.
Go to sleep.

Eat up.

- Is it?
What is it?
- Your lips.
- Right.
- Your lips.
- Is something on it?
Thank you.
[huffing] It's so hot.
- Oh, my.
- My gosh.
Why did you…
Why did you pull out the straw?
You can wipe it now.
- Is it in my nose?
- No, you're fine.
- [Mi-seon] Be careful.
- Okay.
- Goodbye.
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Bye.
- Wait, Ms. Oh.
- [song fades out]
We aren't going there.
- We aren't going to work?
- Well, we are.
- But we aren't going in that direction.
- What?
- Our office is this way.
- No, we're over here.
What?
What have you done now?
Stand right there.
[Mi-seon gasps] My gosh, Mr. Kang.
What is this?
- The thing is--
- [Ma-jin] What?
Hey, over here.
You just sent me a random address.
What is this?
- Hello, Mr. Bae.
- Hey.
Allow me to present Typhoon Trading.
I'm not really into fried chicken.
[Ma-jin] Why did you call him?
I was raised with good food,
so palm oil doesn't work with me.
- Wipe that margarine off your face first.
- [Tae-poong laughs]
Anyway, let's go inside.
- Okay.
- All right.
TYPHOON TRADING
[Tae-poong clears throat, sucks teeth]
This is Typhoon Trading version 2.0.
Mr. Kang, when did you make this decision?
Uh…
It started in Thailand.
Things were too hectic back then,
so I didn't get a chance to tell you.
And our team wasn't in good spirits.
Uh, also,
I needed some money
to handle my responsibilities as the CEO.
But because I made you move here
without discussing this beforehand,
I am very sorry…
about that matter.
- [Ma-jin] No.
- [Mi-seon] It's okay.
Is there something on the floor?
- The floor?
- What's that?
If you think about it, we couldn't afford
an office like that in our situation.
Please stop, Mr. Kang.
It's not like we'll stick around here
for a long time, right?
Of course not.
We'll go back to our office.
- Yes, of course.
- Yes.
Was this previously a pub?
It was a pub my friend ran,
but he's taking some time off.
So, we're using this for the time being.
[Ma-jin] It has running water, right?
Of course it does. It has electricity too.
The Internet modem works as well.
Are you all right?
It's working fine.
Did they move out in a hurry?
Look at this place.
We could start frying chicken now.

- [Ma-jin] Careful with your back.
- Let's go!
- [Ma-jin] Be careful.
- Careful.
- All right!
- Be careful.
Is it that heavy?
Now, let's move this.
MONTHLY SCHEDULE AND PLANNER
[Tae-poong grunting loudly]
Is this okay?
- Put it this way.
- Turn it around.
No, go the other way.
- The other way?
- Wait, no. I'm sorry.
We're almost done.
All done.

[dreamy music continues]
Has anybody been watering this?
That was Mr. Koo's duty,
but no one else did it once he left.
- Does that beer machine work?
- [Tae-poong] It does.
[Ma-jin] Whoa!
- Does it work?
- Whoa!
- What?
- [Ma-jin] This is awesome.
[Mi-seon] What are you doing?
- What do you think you're doing?
- I wanted to test it and see if it worked.
Why would you test that?
Of course it'll work once it's plugged.
- Jeez.
- Okay. I'll be careful from now on.
Please do. We have to save on everything.
I mean, we can grab a glass of beer
from time to time while we work now.
MOMO'S PUB
These two…
- Hello, ma'am.
- Hey, you're here.
- These two are for you, right?
- That's right.
- [Nam-mo] Thank you.
- Sure.
- How much is this, ma'am?
- Yes?
Why? Do you want one for yourself?
- What? [laughs]
- Ooh!
You have such a cute smile.
[woman laughs]
Take it.
- You're giving it for free?
- Sure.
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
- Here. Take this.
- Goodbye, then.
- Bye.
[grunting]
I thought it would look shabby,
but it turned out to be a decent office.
It looks rather cozy.
What about the kitchen?
Should we use it as a meeting room?
My friend wanted to use it,
so he asked us to leave it alone.
[door opens]
We have a freeloader now?
Did you call me a freeloader?
The lease is under my name.
What is this, Tae-poong?
You said you'd only use half.
We're paying 50-50, but you want me
to be locked up in the kitchen?
- We're paying 50-50?
- I guess so.
Hey, push this over.
Then you can come out.
We have extra seats, no doubt!
Stop talking nonsense
and draw the halfway line.
- Push it!
- Hold on.
Let's do this, then.
Give him a hug!
- What are you doing?
- Okay. Welcome!
Welcome to Typhoon Family.
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
- Welcome!
- I'm glad you're here.
- How endearing.
- Welcome.
I'll turn on the light!

[Tae-poong and Mi-seon] Uh…
It's hard to make out both.

[Dae-hyeop] This way.

See? I told you.
They're done for good.

[Hyun-jun] "Notice of Office Relocation."
[Dae-hyeop] I'm telling you they're done.
We aren't done.
This is just the beginning.
The beginning of your suffering.
[muttering indistinctly]
Aren't you hot? Have something cold.
[in English] Thank you.
[in Korean] My back hurts. [groans]
- Hey, cheers.
- Cheers.
- Oh, man.
- How's your mother?
What happened?
It was a human marketing.
In other words, a pyramid scheme.
My dear Ms. Kim Eul-nyeo reached
the Sapphire tier with our mortgage money.
Everyone who reached the jewel tier
were crying together in that office.
They were Ruby, Sapphire,
and Diamond tiers.
[scoffs] Doesn't it sound like
a fairy tale?
It must've been upsetting, Nam-mo.
It's not something
for me to be upset about.
It's my mom who's struggling.
My mom
held my hand and cried.
She said she was sorry.
[sighs] But, Tae-poong,
I'm not going down like this.
I'm the head of my household.
- I'll live a diligent life.
- Of course.
Although I'm not sure
what your mom's thinking.
Also, I'm seeing someone.
Of course. Although I'm not sure
how that woman feels…
What? Who is she?
There's this woman,
the prettiest woman you know.
She reminds me of an adorable deer
that drinks from a spring in a mountain
or a girl who lives in the Alps,
just 4,000 meters above sea level.
Anyway, she's that pretty.
[chuckles softly]
Why, you! Is it Ms. Oh?
She's more like a tigress from Jirisan!
Then who is this girl
who resembles the deer in the Alps?
Hey, go back to your job!
What do you know about love?
I can never tell what women are thinking.
You're just a fool
who only knows how to export.
[huffs]
I mean…
Don't you start dating after a kiss?
Are you out of your mind?
You need to marry her!
- Right?
- Who did you kiss?
- What?
- Why didn't you tell me? Who was it?
Is she pretty?
- Yes.
- Who is it? Tell me.
It can't be. Not the tigress from Jirisan.
Is it her?
Yes.
- Are you serious?
- Yes.
- Man, this is crazy!
- [cheerful pop song playing]
This is impossible.
[song continues]
Ms. Oh.
Right. Thank you.
- [in English] Good morning.
- Good morning.
- [in Korean] Mi-seon.
- Yes?
Here, have some tea.
Thank you.
What's going on?
Why do you two look so close?
Actually, we are--
I came down… [coughs] …with a cold.
[continues coughing]
Don't cough at me.
I don't want to catch it.
I'm sorry.
[whispers] You're coughing? Then…
[song ends]
I didn't know she caught a cold.
Wait a second, Ms. Oh.
Let me get this from now on.
Huh? Why?
Ms. Oh? That doesn't sound right.
- What should I call you?
- What do you mean?
I mean,
we're now dating, so…
[exclaims] Mr. Kang.
When did we say we'd start dating?
Last night, we kissed…
[shushing]
The kiss?
It's not that…
People don't start dating
just because it happened once.
We don't do that in this day and age.
Then why did you kiss me?
- Were you toying with me?
- No, it's not that.
[Ma-jin] Are you coming?
- Should I do all the work?
- [Mi-seon] I'm coming.
[Ma-jin exclaims]
- We'll talk later.
- Wait a second.
What about staying by my side?
What do you mean?
We're together at work and at home.
We should talk again later.
We're running late.
He didn't even ask me out,
so why does he suddenly think
that we're dating?
[Nam-mo] Yes, I get it. I know the answer.
She doesn't like you.
- Then why did she kiss me?
- Why do you chew gum?
- Because I get bored.
- That's exactly it. You know the answer.
Hey, you're way too slow.
No, it wasn't like that.
Jeez. You and your pride.
Goodness gracious. Hold on.
What time is it?
Wait, did you buy a cell phone?
Don't you have one?
You should get one.
How can you run a business without it?
Right. I have to go to your place today.
- My place? Why?
- Right? Why am I going?
Oh, it's to hang out with you.
- With me?
- Yes, I'll go there first.
Bye.
[door opens]
- With me?

Let's hang out, Tae-poong!
Hello.
Who's that?
Oh. Tae-poong said he'd be late.
[Nam-mo] Really?
That's weird.
I even brought some clothes for him.
I said I didn't want to buy them.
Why do you keep bothering me?
I got some for you too.
- [Jeong-mi] Have you had dinner?
- No, I actually haven't eaten dinner.
- [Bun-i] What is that?
- I'll show you later.
[Jeong-mi] Goodness.
[mouthing] Wang Nam-mo.
[whispering indistinctly]
[Bun-i] Goodness, Mr. Wang.
You're even good at doing chores.
You're rather decent for a man.
[resumes chopping]
I'll cook you a delicious meal, ma'am.
- You look great, Grandma.
- Yes, it looks great on you.
[Jeong-mi] You look so cute. How adorable.
- [Bun-i] This is nice.
- [Jeong-mi] How cute.
I don't think these are right for me.
Hey, Beom.
Don't you know anything about hip-hop?
I don't. How is this called hip-hop?
You should thank him
for the thought. Sit down.
[Beom] Okay. Fine. Thank you.
I don't see anything
that Tae-poong can wear.
Goodness.
- Are these mine?
- Yes, they're yours.
[Jeong-mi] Thank you so much.
I can't wait to wear them.
I thought you were with Mr. Kang.
What? We left together.
Ah, Mi-seon. I got you some too.
This floral pattern
is the most popular in Dongdaemun now.
[Bun-i] Give me those.
- Those are mine.
- Yes, give them to her.
[Nam-mo] Yes, these are yours.
- These look warm.
- These are tights.
- Yes, they're tights.
- Yes.
- You got socks and pants.
- These are for Mi-seon.
[Jeong-mi] Here you go.
Thank you for the food.
- Thank you for the food.
- Thank you.
- Eat up.
- Thank you.
Grandma, go ahead.
[whispering indistinctly]
- [Jeong-mi] Have some rice.
- [Mi-ho] Watch it.
Beom, is that how you were raised?
- Come on.
- Eat some more.
- Make sure to chew carefully.
- Goodness.
- Have this, Beom.
- Goodness.
It's nice to eat with many people.

Hey, Mr. Koo.
Stop it! Stop!
