EPISODE 2
Oh, damn it. I knew I had a bad feeling about this place.
Oh! I cannot run into him looking like this!
What is it?
I…
Well, I…
Uh, I have something to tell you.
Then say it.
So, I'm saying-- Excuse me--
I thought you didn't wanna see me again or consider getting married to me.
And what are you doing here?
Yeah, you're right.
Right, listen. I mean, I don't wanna see you or marry you and…
there's no chance at all.
Not even a chance this small of that happening.
So I came back to tell you to never call me again.
Okay, I'll get going now.
I'm still gonna marry you, though. Got it?
Sorry?
Be straight with me. Tell me why you don't wanna marry me.
All this. I don't like all this.
Okay? You know, when you say super weird stuff like,
"I'm really good." I don't like that. And…
your face looks like that of an archaeopteryx.
Excuse me?
Well, I got to go now. Bye.
Green light, perfect.
An archaeopteryx?
What are those look like again?
This is it.
How do I look anything like this?
Just the overall vibe, especially the nose.
-I do think you two look alike. -Excuse me?
The resemblance is uncanny.
What the-- Are you serious? You think this is funny?
No, I'm not. It's just-- The whole thing is hilarious.
So, you jumped into his car and said, "I don't wanna marry you."
That really is hilarious!
I had no choice. There is no way I would let Min-woo see me like that.
Anyway, what are we gonna do now, Young-seo?
He'll push ahead with the wedding unless we do something about it.
That's true.
Why does he want to tie the knot so bad, anyway?
I told you. He's marrying you and your whole family.
So that his family becomes top dog.
Mm-mm. That sounds hardly likely even if the two get together.
Maybe he's just actually fallen for you.
You'd better come back to your senses.
If it's your name, your family, your prestige he's after,
you need to go and have a chat with President Kang
-and clear this whole thing up, okay? -Yeah, I will.
Okay, let's go. Let's call it a night.
Uh-uh. Come on, Ha-ri. The second round's waiting for us so bad.
-Hmm? -What?
If my dad finds out I made a complete mess with the blind date…
…I'm dead.
It's like a send-off, you know, before I die.
Just one more drink, please? Mmm?
Fine. Fine. One more round.
Whoo! Oh, yeah!
She's a character.
Hey, sit here.
What's up with you?
So, do you remember that guy I told you about?
That was where we met.
Huh?
Oh, Ha-ri. He's so my type.
He works around here, I'm sure of it. Can we wait here for a bit?
Okay. So we're here because you wanted to see him in the first place?
That's right.
I mean, everything just felt so right with him.
So please, just for another hour, would you stay with me?
-Okay, fine. I will. -Yeah!
Just another hour. The tab's on me.
Wow. Look at these girls, I can't believe this.
They came home dead drunk and I guess they had some more.
Why all the…
Oh, my goodness. I should teach these girls some--
Wake up!
-You have work to do! -Ow, my head.
Mrs. Han.
Oh, wait. What am I doing here?
-Oh, yeah. What are you doing here? -Don't know.
Seriously? You don't remember?
Last night?
The number you dialed is…
Look at this girl.
Your sister's not picking up again.
That little-- She sure needs a proper lesson.
Hey!
Ta-da!
'Sup! I got you guys something!
For Dad, Mom, Ha-min. Here!
And this one's for me!
Look at you. Did you get into a fight?
Oh, it's just… Mom, I tripped over there.
Just look at yourself!
Oh, he's really nice. Police officers drove us here.
Vroom! Like--
First, you got wasted, and what? The police? You're a grown-ass woman!
What a humiliation!
Go upstairs, now!
-Ooh! -And guess who else!
Oh, gosh. She can barely walk. How much have you had to drink?
Good evening, everyone.
Hold it.
Hey. Hey, miss. We got you home now, okay?
No! No! I wasn't asking you guys to look for my house.
I wanted you to help me find the man of my destiny.
Hold on, let me…
Officer! I've been telling you this whole time.
He's tall like a Greek god. Little puppy eyes that sparkle.
His shoulders? Wide as the Pacific Ocean. Whoosh! Like that.
-That hurts! -Young-seo, you can't just…
You can't just do this because it'll get you into trouble!
-We're so sorry. -Sorry.
Wait! I need to tell you, but you haven't been listening to me.
All I ask is to see him…
…just one more time.
Tell me, am I asking too much?
Oh, you've been saying this nonsense for hours
I should rip your mouth!
Young-seo!
Your mouth. There's something wrong with it.
Young-seo, your mouth. It's ripped wide open!
-It's what? -Let me see.
I know it's ripped!
No! Mom, fire, blood, needle!
Say, "Ah!"
Ah!
I'm so sorry.
It hurts. My heart hurts.
Uh-uh. That's not good.
She's never done something this outrageous.
Now, it just breaks my heart. Sorry, officer.
-We're so sorry. -Oh no.
Oh, here.
Oh, please. Let me.
Thank you again, sir.
I'll take care of this and make sure they're sorry.
-I think that'd be all. -Oh, okay.
-Thanks again. -Goodbye.
I'm sorry for all the trouble.
No, you can't. I'm right here.
One more round to go.
You two, upstairs.
Right now!
So that's what…
Young-seo, we really ought to cut back on the drinking.
Shall we?
-Yeah. -Okay.
I love you, Mom.
Me too, Mrs. Han. I love you.
-Enjoy your meal, sir. -Thank you.
Son, about the wedding,
I'm thinking we should have it at our hotel, right?
Sorry? The wedding?
Yeah. I was gonna talk it over with Chairman Jin,
but he's on a business trip.
Won't be back till next week.
As if I've got enough time myself.
It's only been two days. A wedding venue, really?
You hate wasting time.
Marriage is already on the table. The faster we get this going,
the sooner I get to have great-grandkids, huh?
Uh, last night--
That girl used to create a scene during her blind dates.
But the moment she saw my grandson, she went, "Wow!"
She couldn't help it and wants to marry him.
Hey, if you're meant to be, you're meant to be, boy.
Oh, man.
-Your phone keeps ringing, sir. -What?
A NEW MESSAGE FROM JIN YOUNG-SEO
You're right. That girl's dead over heels for me. Wants to see me already.
Really? Let me see that.
Hey, show me.
Come on, let's eat.
Huh? I got a message from President Kang.
"I'll message you the location later. Wait for my text."
Don't mess this up.
Don't you say anything stupid and blow my cover.
Who's the girl that showed up to the dates? Answer me.
An actress hired through an agency to pose as me.
Never met her. Don't know her name. And a complete and total stranger.
Just go and tell him that, okay?
Yeah, I'll go and tell him.
-Let's go. -Let's get this done.
She wants to see you again?
But I thought all's been said and done?
-Isn't it obvious? -What is?
She was stuck by the sudden realization
that I'm good to pass up on just because she wants to rebel.
I don't think that's the case.
She said you say weird stuff,
and that she doesn't like your archaeopteryx's face.
Then why ask to see me again?
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm…
Wow. Ms. Young-seo really had the nail right on the head.
You just glared at me and you did look like an--
Enough with the archaeopteryx.
-They look so much alike. -What did you say?
Come on back here!
-Looks good. -Mm-hmm.
All right. How's your research going?
Is the mackerel ready?
Sure. Ready to go ahead and fry them today.
Okay.
Guess I'll be stinking up the place again.
If I'd known I'll be doing this, I would have bailed.
I know, right?
Come on, Ms. Shin. I know you feel the exact opposite.
You get all excited when it comes to your work.
-Really? You think I do? -Yeah.
Man, who would have thought?
We have a lot in common.
I mean, me and President Kang.
Really? Please elaborate.
Rumor has it that
President Kang was the top of his class when he was at Harvard. And…
I was the top student at Hanju.
And I hear he also got a gold medal at the Amateur National Track and Field.
And as you all know,
in the company field day relay race, Gye Bin.
That's me.
There's a term for this. What was that again?
Oh! Parallel universes.
Wow. How can this be?
Ooh. Oh, you know what?
I guess I have so much in common with Jun Ji-hyun.
Two eyes, one nose, one mouth. And boy, both of us are women.
How dare you compare yourself to my Ji-hyun?
How dare you get on my nerves with this nonsense to tick me off?
You listen here. It sure doesn't make sense
-'cause you're a misogynist. -Here we go again.
To the female staff here, it's useful info.
How'd you climb up the ladder and become a Cinderella herself, right?
I'm sorry?
-Uh, sure. -Yeah.
Oh, dear. You always know exactly what to say
-to ask for a smack. -Excuse me?
Stop saying "female staff." Just say staff.
That's a sexist remark!
And what climb up the ladder?
My blood pressure's rapidly climbing
so you better focus on those invoices.
Well, that's why she's still single.
FOOD PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM 1
INCOMING CALL MIN-WOO
Hi, oppa.
-Min-woo? -Okay.
-Ms. Yeo. -Yeah?
Mind if I step out for a bit?
Who was that? You seem so happy.
Well, it's, uh…
it's a fling!
Well, that was a loud whisper.
Okay.
What? What did she say? Min-woo's her fling?
A fling.
-Hmm. -Ms. Kim.
I'm only asking 'cause I'm curious. But a fling. What exactly is that?
Is that the phase of not actually dating, but…
I'm sorry.
I think I should have asked someone who would know.
I'm sorry about that.
What do you mean? I have tons of dating experience.
Go ahead, ask me!
No, never mind. Sorry.
What? So those two are really seeing each other?
No, it can't be.
They've only met a couple of times during our dinner at this restaurant.
That's right.
What? He lets her touch him?
And gifts. Are they even close enough to do that?
Wait, he's leaving? Shit.
That's just great.
Oh, Ha-ri, you're so pathetic.
What in the world was that?
Have you taken care of that thing
we talked about yesterday?
Yes, sir. It's taken care of.
-Excuse me! -Oh!
Sorry.
Sir, are you all right?
Who was it?
Who threw this slipper at my face?
Sir, your nose, it's bleeding.
It is?
Shit. That woman in the lab coat.
Oh, come on!
Wait! President Kang!
Please, would you open-- Open this.
I can't.
Stop right there!
Damn it!
What? Really? Come back!
Oh! Damn it.
Mr. Kang!
Everyone's gonna see all this.
What are you doing here?
She must be a researcher.
The Food Product Development Team is upstairs.
I saw her. She went this way.
Ah!
Hey, you. This slipper's yours, right?
Speak up. Why'd you fling this at me?
I didn't mean to. It was a mistake.
I slipped. It was an accident.
SENIOR RESEARCHER SHIN HA-RI
Ms. Shin Ha-ri, I can't hear a thing. Speak louder.
I didn't mean to. It was a mistake.
It was just an accident. I slipped.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Then why did you run when I called you?
That's because you might recognize me!
But of course, I can't say that.
Your nose. I saw your nose bleeding, and I was frightened. I'm sorry.
Here.
Thank you, sir.
You proposed that Bucket List Fish, right?
Yes.
And also proposed the vegan dumpling campaign?
I did.
Huh? That wasn't approved, though. How did you know about--
I thought it was a great idea. It stuck with me.
I know. I know, right?
Oh!
If you think about it, my ideas were ahead of their time.
Would've been perfect to have it now.
Going vegan is a thing these days.
Imagine vegetable dumplings without calories.
Vegans would have gone super crazy over that.
That's for sure. I mean, anybody on a diet would have, too.
Too bad, though.
My mackerel! The curing should be done by now!
If you'd excuse me.
She's kinda weird. But I like the way she works.
What's up? You okay? What's on your mind?
What? Ah, nothing. It's nothing.
You can't work at a time like this.
Have you heard?
Some chump on the first floor lobby threw a slipper
at Mr. Kang's face.
-Aah. -His nose bled.
Hey, Ms. Kim. You were on the first floor.
Did you see it?
I'm not sure. I didn't see anything.
Oh, yeah. You said you were meeting up with that fling of yours. What happened?
As of today, I'm no longer in a fling.
That guy I was telling you all about,
I couldn't tell you, but it's Chef Lee Min-woo.
Oh, Min-woo? Aah!
Aah, so you're talking about Ms. Shin's friend
who was at the restaurant? The tall, good-looking guy?
Aah, that guy?
But you barely know him. How'd that happen?
Well, he was totally my type, so I texted him first,
and I even left him a present at his restaurant.
So, why is it then and over now? You said you gave him a gift.
Yeah…
which made him uncomfortable.
Oh, I see.
Well, I should take the mackerels out. I should.
Yeah, you do that. Not awkward at all.
Can't you even read the room?
What? What'd I do?
Don't you see there's someone else who's been eyeing him?
You kidding?
Hey, department head. Aren't you the least bit ashamed?
That guy's young enough to be your nephew.
Don't you even dare.
Don't snap those tongs at me!
You don't do that to me.
Gosh, it's hot.
Okay. This one's free.
You gotta be kidding me.
Who the hell parks like that?
I have no choice, then.
Oh, come on.
It's one bad thing after another.
Oh…
Oh. It's you. You're the convenience store guy.
Oh. Good evening, miss. I'm surprised you remembered.
Hard to forget anybody who looks as good as you, sir.
Well, it's 'cause I have a sharp memory.
Anyway, so sorry. But I'm in a bit of a hurry right now.
Here's my card.
Please. Call me. Pretty please.
Marketing Lead Jin Young-seo from Marine Group?
-Hold on. You are Ms. Jin Young-seo? -Yeah.
Why? Is there a problem, Mr…
There is a big problem.
Fake Jin Young-seo.
Identity theft is a serious crime. Don't you know that, miss?
Excuse me? Identity theft?
Who are you to call me an impostor?
Just the guy who went on a blind date with the real Jin Young-seo.
I'm guessing your name is Kang Tae-moo?
Why does my man of destiny have to see me like this?
What was that?
It's nothing. Yeah.
So, Jin Young-seo.
Do you personally know her? The woman I went on a blind date with?
I don't really know her. I hired her through an agency. Never met her.
I don't really know her name and she's a complete and total stranger.
A complete stranger. Are you sure?
That's right.
Nice bag you got there.
Looks exactly like the one she had.
You know, when she went on our date.
What?
Oh. No, you got it wrong.
That was a Chanel. This one's a YSL.
They're two very different bags.
You're funny.
Coco Chanel and YSL? But I thought you didn't know her.
How do you know the kind of bag she brought?
Good question.
You do know our grandparents are gonna be so pissed when they find out
that you sent someone else to meet me.
-Are you okay with that? -You're not telling on me though, are you?
Can't you just tell them that we met up again
and that you don't really think it's gonna work out.
Can't you please just say that?
If that's what you really want…
bring her to me first.
Bring who?
That woman.
The one I almost married.
Why isn't she responding to the texts?
Okay. It's all good now. You can stop worrying.
Ooh!
What a relief.
This is driving me crazy.
What on earth am I gonna do?
JOY ART ACADEMY
Right over here, we have the bud
and on the sides are the two leaves.
Oh, no. No, it's fine. I scribbled a lot more than he did, anyway.
So, she's Jin Young-seo, huh?
Hey, you're back.
Could you please leave my house alone?
Do you really think I could?
Why do you always leave such a mess?
-Did you get it? -Oh, yeah.
And let me tell you again.
It's not a mess. I just have my own way of organizing things.
Unpack them.
Mmm.
Now that you've cleaned and cooked,
-do you feel less stressed now? -Mm-hmm.
You sure have a weird way of de-stressing.
How is it weird?
I put in time and effort, and in return, I get the exact reward I deserve.
It's effective and productive.
Anyway, since the woman you went out with wasn't the real Jin Young-seo,
I guess that you're calling off the wedding?
Why would that make any sense?
She wasted my time and made me say things I didn't mean to say.
Well, I guess Ms. Jin hates the thought of an arranged marriage,
just like you.
It's not something to be so mad about.
I'm talking about the one that I met on the date.
She's a poser and what did she call me again?
A weirdo? An archaeopteryx?
I didn't expect you to be mad at that.
I can't forgive her.
I'll have my revenge. Just wait and see.
Huh? What? Oh, when did you get here?
Just now.
Hey, did he get mad? You know, 'cause of what we did?
Huh?
I mean, I heard he's the last person you'd like to mess with.
He fired all the execs who betrayed him.
The past trouble shall take care of themselves.
Why don't we go somewhere nice and blow off some steam?
Where to?
Feel free to try anything you'd like and then I'll take care of it.
That one?
-Hmm. -Okay, next.
Oh, my God!
You look absolutely stunning!
What's gotten into you? Buying me all these clothes?
You've been stressed out these past few days because of me.
One blind date and I get pampered like this?
Wait, don't tell me--
Don't tell you, what?
That I have to go on another blind date for you?
Listen to me, okay? I'm not going to do it ever again!
Don't worry, it's never even crossed my mind.
Fix her up nice, please. Make her look flashy.
-Hey. -Yeah.
Cheese!
Let's do this!
Oh, yeah. You sure that salon is where celebrities go to?
Because my makeup's too heavy.
Uh, because I told them to do that.
What do you mean?
Ha-ri. I want you to listen to me.
-President Kang is gonna be here soon. -What? Say that again?
Please, believe me. I didn't have a choice!
I don't know how. But he found out we were friends,
so he told me he wants to meet you.
Then you should've lied about it or something!
But then he said he'd find out on his own!
I'm doing this because I'm afraid he'd find out you're his employee.
Well then, you could have at least warned me, Young-seo.
You think you'd come here if I told you?
Anyway, he thinks you owe him an apology.
-So, just tell him that you're sorry. -What?
Look, what's the worst that could happen? Anyway, see ya.
-You're leaving? -Oh, right!
This is for you. Don't forget to wear the wig.
I'm sorry.
-A wig? Young-seo, wait! -I'm sorry! Sorry!
Young-seo!
I knew something was off!
That little--
Just my luck.
What do I do? What do I do?
Oh, I'm so screwed!
Oh, damn it.
Ooh…
This really had to happen now?
Oh, thank you.
Nice seeing you again, Ms. Fake Jin Young-seo.
You work at this place?
What?
Ah, that. Uh… Uh…
One call is all it takes.
My family owns a fried… chicken… shop.
Oh, great. Now he knows where I live.
Tell me how much.
Just 15,000 won for the plain. Seventeen for the spicy--
I wasn't talking…
about the chicken.
I was asking about how much Ms. Jin paid you.
Aah… Uh…
That's…
Well, you see…
It's okay. Just tell me. Straight forward.
So then I, I told her, "No way. I can't do it."
But she insisted. She gave me around 800,000 won.
So, there.
You're saying you're trying to scam me for 800,000 won?
Going as a replacement isn't technically a scam, is it?
You pretended to be someone else
and you wasted my precious time. You did all this for your own benefit.
Now, tell me. Is it not a scam?
I'm sorry.
I urgently needed some money that time.
But it wasn't something my paycheck could cover.
You're not just some small-time swindler. You have a job too?
You've got some skills, you know? Skills.
Oh, I mean, yeah. It's just a small, medium-sized company.
Yeah, real small…
And guess what? You're the freakin' owner of it.
He must have come here with that handsome secretary.
No, Young-seo. This is no time to think about a man.
You put your friend in great trouble.
Forgive me, my dear friend.
He really believes that you owe him an apology.
So just go and tell him you're sorry.
I didn't do anything wrong,
other than hiding I'm his employee.
But still. It's no good to have him get angry if he finds out the truth.
I know that a simple apology won't be enough.
At that time, the harder I wish,
there's a way… there's a way to make it up to you
and undo what I've done. But clearly, there isn't a way to do that.
It seems inappropriate to pay you back in money
or gifts since, apparently, you're much richer than I am.
I could help you. I'll do everything to help you. And if you need a favor,
I'd definitely do everything.
So, what do you say? Are you still mad?
Tell me, what makes you say…
that I look like an archaeopteryx?
Sorry?
Oh, is that why you were angry?
It's not that I'm angry,
it's just that I've never heard something so silly.
You could say I was caught off-guard, yeah.
Oh, well.
I was just-- What happened was--
I just said whatever random thing popped into my head
just to shut you up about marrying me.
R-- Random thing?
But, you know, I kinda see it.
Your small little face, your sharp-piercing eyes,
your lanky limbs.
I can't believe no one ever told you this before.
I just told you, right? That no one ever did.
Oh, right.
I'm so sorry.
Now, that's why he's gone so angry?
Wow, hold a grudge much?
So…
if you don't need anything else from me,
I guess you won't mind if we wrap this up and leave?
It's the chicken joint we run. I gotta go and help out there.
You see, we're still looking for part-timers.
That's why I really should be going.
INCOMING CALL DON'T ANSWER
Save that. Use my real name. Pick up when I call.
If you don't answer, or you disappear…
I will surely come and find you.
Uh…
Okay.
Also, what's your real name?
My name?
It's Shin Ha--
He might recognize me from work. No, I can't.
Geum… hui. That's right. Geum-hui. Geum-hui.
SHIN GEUM-HUI
Gosh, this ugly ancient bird.
Let's see how you'll do today.
Will you smile for me, Ms. Geum-hui?
I think I'll have the cheese pork cutlet.
You got it, sir.
I thought you were rich.
Why would you meet your in-laws at some fast-food chain?
I'm still jealous, though.
I'd love to do that. In-laws meeting with cutlet.
Hi, I'm home.
Oh, just now?
So, how'd it go with Ms. Jin Young-seo today?
And also about the wedding,
we should meet with her family soon, right?
I decided not to do it. I'm not marrying her anymore.
You're not? But what do you mean…
Well, that's what happened, so please don't bring her up anymore.
I need to rest.
You don't have to tell me what--
No, I'm not marrying her!
I mean, I can't marry her.
The person I truly love, I'm in love with Geum-hui.
-Shin Geum-hui. -What are you doing?
How dare you humiliate my family and my daughter
just for some girl from the fried chicken shop?
Oh! Oh, oh!
I bet the crust on those pork cutlets was really crispy.
Oh, anyway, whether in real life or not,
why is it so hard for people to get wed, hmm?
Shin Geum-hui.
BE STRONG, GEUM-HUI
Shin Geum-hui.
Why was that the first thing that came to my mind?
Where'd I hear that from? Shin Geum-hui.
The person you have dialed has turned off…
Wow. Now you turn off your phone.
You just wait till I find you, Young-seo. I'm so gonna kill you.
Hey, you're back!
Don't move, I'm gonna kill you!
-I'm sorry! Calm down! Calm down! -You!
How could you do that to me?
Hey, what are you doing?
Stop, stop! Don't kill me!
I said I'm sorry.
I didn't know my phone was turned off.
I promise. I wasn't trying to ignore you or anything.
Save it.
Good thing I was quick on my feet
and I was able to come up with a fake name.
What on earth were you thinking bringing me there to meet him? If I--
If I've gotten caught, I would have lost my job.
I'm really sorry.
Well, you saw for yourself how pushy he can be.
I really didn't have a choice.
But the good news is, he doesn't know you work for him.
He found out my family runs a fried chicken joint!
What? How did he find out?
I, uh, I brought coupons for my colleagues
as an apology for having my birthday party without me,
and I dropped them.
You idiot! Why would you bring those with you?
Wow. Look who's yelling at who.
Whose fault is it? Huh?
You were the one who got me into this!
-You think this apron's gonna save-- -Hey, Ha-ri! Let her go!
What do you think you're doing? You get your hands off Young-seo.
-What? -I'm all right, Mrs. Han.
Also, don't be too harsh on Ha-ri, please?
It's my fault. I deserve this.
I mean, is it really that bad?
Grabbing your friend by the collar, is that how I raised you?
You and your temper! Let go of her. Now!
Let go! Hey, let go!
Did you even ask what was going on?
Fine. If you like her so much, she's all yours.
Adopt her while you're at it! Happy?
Look at that. Look at that temper! Where does all that just come from--
-Why are you so mean? -No, no, no. Mrs. Han, it's all my fault.
-I'm sorry. -Ooh… Oh, you have some nerves!
-Oh, my God. -Okay, stop it, please! That's enough.
Oh, God.
Crazy girl. Blowing up in my face like that!
Where did she get that temper from?
Oh, God.
Wow, seriously? She really doesn't know?
Why do you have to be so nasty to your friend?
You're lucky Young-seo still spends time with you despite your temper!
If I had a daughter like Young-seo, I'd raise her like a princess!
Yeah, I know, right?
Hey, Mom. Don't you wish you had a daughter like her, huh?
What do you think? Should I make a move?
She's gonna be your daughter.
Well, in-law.
Hey, you think she'll fall for you? You think she's that easy?
And there's a huge difference, jackass!
In-law stays in-law! Just keep folding.

This early in the morning?
I told them to monitor the schedule.
…subscribers. Order by the end of the month and we'll--
Considered to be the ancestor of all modern birds,
the archaeopteryx lived at the end of the Jurassic period
in the southern part of modern-day Germany.
Take a closer look at the body of the archaeopteryx
and observe the length of its body.
-Freaking Jurassic, damn it. -It's about 30
to 50 centimeters long.
That would be about the size of a raven.
Fossil samples were discovered in Solnhofen, Germany.
All of which were found in limestone.
Hello?
Shin Geum-hui?
Who is this? Huh?
Who the hell prank calling at this hour?
It's not a prank call, Shin Geum-hui. I'm assuming you're still half-asleep.
It's not Geum--
Sorry, I was distracted, uh…
Why are you calling?
Just making sure you didn't change your phone or went off-grid.
That's all.
Ah…
Wait, hello?
What?
It's four in the morning. Is this guy for real?
What the heck? Now, I'm fully awake. Whoa! Whoa! Is he insane?
God, he's annoying! Oh!
Asshole.
Observe its peg-like teeth…
An archaeopteryx?
…is probably used to…
I hope you have bad dreams.
It also had a long bony tail--
What happened to you? Still sleepy?
Didn't get enough sleep last night?
Yeah. Had a little trouble going back to sleep.
Hmm.
Have you heard? No, right?
I'm always ahead of you guys, huh?
Okay, listen up.
President Kang went on a blind date.
Well, I'm so interested in things I have nothing to do with.
Oh. Come on guys, you need to see the bigger picture here.
It has everything to do with us!
Rich folks will always stick together.
There might be a merger in place
which will directly affect the value of our stocks.
You barely have a few dozen shares of the company stock.
And what's all the fuzz? As if you're some major shareholder.
I have a grand total of 50 shares.
Do you know how much that is?
Idiot. Listen to me. Stop your stupid obsession over Mr. Kang.
Yes, he may be the president of the company,
but it's useless talking about someone we'll probably never run into.
Why are you so strong? You've got quite a grip.
Yeah, she's so right.
Please don't let me run into that man again.
Dear Buddha, dear God. Please. I'm begging you.
You asked for me?
Mm. The second production line, we need to restart soon.
Heard anything from the factory in Ilsan?
Heard it'll take a week to finish all the replacement work.
It's Director Hwang's first day today, right?
Mr. Park's replacement? Schedule a lunch meeting with him.
I can't. There's been some changes in your schedule after lunch.
What? What are you saying? You didn't tell me.
I'm afraid the order came from the chairman himself.
My hands are tied. He wants you to go on dates.
What?
So that's how it's gonna be, huh?
Han Min-hui. The eldest daughter of Daemang Industries.
Piano major at Juilliard.
Currently taking her doctorate at Seoul University.
They say it's a shame if I'd get married
considering my career record.
However, I think baring a child
who carries my wonderful genes into this world
and raising that child is worthy.
She's from Harvard and the Minister of Justice's daughter.
You're from the same school. That's something to talk about.
You know Professor Albert, right?
Yes, he was my advisor for a year.
He taught a business course that I took as an elective, and I remember him
speaking very highly of you. Your thesis in senior year…
Mr. Kang? I've heard a lot about you.
God, I admit. You're even better looking in person.
…and you're so tall.
I love how you look so calm. You're my type.
You are just my type.
When my family heard your name…
The elders in my family were thrilled.
I've never felt this before. You're giving me butterflies.
Got butterflies in my stomach.
Sorry, I didn't mean to ramble.
Tell me, is there anyone else going on ten dates a day?
Probably not.
Ten dates in just one day.
That's a new world record.
You pressed the wrong button.
-We're not heading to the roof. -No. That's the right button.
Because your day is not over yet.
What?
She's Yoko Hitori. Korean name's Oh Eun-ji.
She's the second-in-line for Hitori Foods.
Did any of the ladies today catch your eye?
No one.
But you wanted to marry Jin Young-seo's stand-in
after the first date. And these ladies seem a lot better.
At least that faker wasn't boring as hell.
All those women said nothing but the same thing to me.
That is true.
If you ask me, she did stand out.
Mr. Kang, your nose.
Huh? My… my nose?
Oh, man. Damn it.
Stupid nosebleeds.
You're late.
So, how were the blind dates?
Don't you think this is too much?
Do you have any idea how many blind dates I went on?
You went over to Japan. So, I'd say 11 dates in total.
So, how was it? Do you like any of them?
The ladies that I set up with you?
I can't believe you.
Don't be dramatic.
You said you'd marry her.
Jin Young-seo. I got way too excited over nothing.
And then, what? You call it off?
Are you playing tricks with me, boy?
That's not it, okay?
Then stop making these damn excuses.
Look, you'll see the rest of the ladies.
And if no one still catches your eye,
then I will find more eligible women for you. A year's worth.
LIST OF BLIND DATE CANDIDATES
Wait. There's someone I wanna marry.
What?
You have someone you want to marry?
Yes.
You're always buried in your work. When did this happen?
I am and everyone is. But there always is a time for dating.
You should've said so from the beginning.
Could have saved you the time.
So, why did you go through all that trouble
and telling me you had no plans of marrying?
Because we broke up. We had a huge fight that time.
I was mad. It was stupid.
Uh…
Is that the truth?
You should thank Secretary Cha.
It's really because of him we got back together.
Yes. It was hard, but I tried.
So, when am I gonna meet her?
As soon as possible. I'll have to talk to her first.
Set a date immediately.
I need to ask when she's free.
That means, I'm off the hook with these blind dates?
Of course.
If you had told me sooner,
then I wouldn't have made your schedule overwhelmingly packed today.
So you agree it was overwhelming?
All right, get back to work.
I'll be going now.
See you.
Excuse me, sir.
How could you lie to his face given that you don't even have a girlfriend?
How are you getting out of this one?
Take a guess.
There's only one person who can get me out of this.
INCOMING CALL ARCHAEOPTERYX
What is this? I already apologized and settled the whole thing.
Damn it.
-Hello? -Let's meet after work.
What? Why would we meet?
Sorry, I'm busy.
Should I go to your house, then?
What? No way!
Huh? I-- No, I meant, I'll be going home late.
I'm gonna be working overtime. So, I'll be at work all night.
…and then I was--
Where do you work, Ms. Shin?
Where do I work? Oh.
It's pretty far from Seoul, actually.
Okay, how far? I went to Japan today.
Is it farther than Japan?
Huh? Japan?
What? Ilsan?
Why are you going to Ilsan all of a sudden?
I don't know. It's the first thing that came to mind. Fuck.
Damn, girl. So what are you going to do?
I found a coffee shop near the subway so we'll meet there.
I'm actually almost there now. I'll call you later.
What? He's already there?
Good evening.
I'm at the coffee shop. Are you sure that you're a regular, here?
-Of course, why? -It seems a bit too strange.
I told you, the Rainbow Café.
I even had coffee there yesterday.
Thank you so much, sir.
Just give me a few seconds, please. I just got here.
Come on, where's that café?
So you go here?
All the time to have coffee?
Yeah, all the time. I just adore the whole relaxing vibe here.
Hmm.
Mama, that kid over there pushed me.
Uh, sorry. I'm not your mama.
I'm so sorry.
So, what were you saying about the vibe here?
Yeah, sure it's a little unusual, but the coffee here is really good.
You wanted to say something?
Make it quick. I'm really busy, so I need to go home.
I don't think this is the right place for it…
but I want us to go out. With marriage in mind.
What?
You didn't suddenly just fall in love with me at first sight
when we first met up, did you?
Because I'm really not interested.
Don't be full of yourself.
I'm not saying we should be dating for real.
We're just gonna pretend to be dating. Simple as that.
Huh?
I'm not doing it. You've called me an impostor before
and now in a complete 180, you want me to do it again?
I have no choice. You're the best person for the job.
What do you mean "best"?
Your acting stood out during our last date.
I don't need to explain anymore. You already know my situation.
Same goes for my secrets too.
Most of all, you said, you'll do everything you can to make it up to me.
And it saves me time, as well.
It's a win-win situation.
I don't care about any of that.
Don't put me in a situation where I'd have to lie again.
I'm out of here, buddy.
Eight hundred thousand won, right?
Help me and I'll double it.
Wait, you'll double it?
For each time you meet my grandfather.
It's gonna take me more than one. He gets easily suspicious.
When I look back at the life I've led,
I was always in debt.
I wasn't happy most of the time.
Hi, Mom. Hey, Dad.
I don't know what to say.
This is hard for us.

Debt, so long!
Hey, Mom. Dad.
I got a job at a big-time company!
I'm sorry, Ha-ri.
Ha-ri.
ECONOMIC DAILY CHICKEN INDUSTRY IN PERIL
EPIC FAIL
I might be able to get rid of my debts at once.
Should I just go for it?
No way.
I do need the money. But technically, he's my boss.
Have you made up your mind?
I've given it a lot of thought, but I can't do it.
Remember when you were apologizing?
You said you would help me when I ask for a favor.
So, apparently, you were lying again.
-What? No, I meant what I said back then. -Then do this for me.
This is the only way you could make it up to me.
Unless you have another way.
I…
Make sure to eat well.
Is that you, dear?
-You know I love you, right? -Mm-hmm.
-Hi. Welcome to-- -I'm going to go crazy.
-Here's the beer. -Shin Geum-hui!
How dare you try to steal my daughter's boyfriend?
I'm sorry. I don't know what to tell you.
Then keep quiet.
Shut up, you cheap woman!
How do you sleep at night?
Oh, my! Last week she slapped Gwang-bok with a pork cutlet
and she does this now?
And then now Geum-hui's getting slapped with the chicken leg?
Why you!
Geum-hui's such a nice girl, how could she do that to her?
Well, think about it. You think a rich family would accept her?
She's the daughter of a fried chicken shop owner.
Oh, my goodness!
So, what if she is? What's wrong with that?
Hey, we're not talking about Ha-ri. We were just talking about the show.
Speaking of, they gotta cancel this stupid show.
-Yeah? -It's pointless.
A millionaire guy falling for someone like her?
How unrealistic!
Mom, it might seem unrealistic,
but it's happening to me right now.
Huh?
Don't tell me that asshole Tae-moo is calling.
Hello, Min-woo?
What's up, Ha-ri? It's been a while. I thought you were dropping by?
Sorry, been busy lately.
What's with your voice? Did something happen?
Work's just been stressing me out these past few days.
Okay, fine. I'll swing by soon.
See you.
Okay.
Oh! Kang Tae-moo, that bastard.
I can't do anything because of that old archaeopteryx.
Stupid bitch! I could have gotten hurt!
Is this how they really see rich people?
They're always yelling at someone.
Always the bad guy.
I'm back, Grandpa.
Oh! Son, so did you…
set a date for us to meet with your girlfriend?
What?
Why? What's with that face? Why? Did something happen?
No. Nothing. I promise you, you'll meet her real soon.
Really?
Great. What's he want now?
Hey, what do you want?
Where are you?
Where else would I be? I'm at home, of course.
I'm outside your house. Come down, I'll wait.
You-- You're outside my house?
Wait.
Why would you drop by this late without telling me?
I was about to sleep. What do you want?
Well, the lights are still on.
Son of a--
-Should I come in? -No, no, no! Now, I'll meet you outside.
You just stay put, okay? Okay?
Apparently, he's the guy who always does what he wants.
Wait, let me see… Okay, right now, I'm gonna have to--
Oh, wait. That's right.
Can you even see anything?
You're wearing makeup? I thought you were going to bed.
You should never reveal your bare face and be ready at all times.
It's our number one rule as women.
Well, I see that rule is not consistent. Based on what you're wearing.
Whatever. Why are you here anyway?
I drafted a contract. Take a look.
Memorize my profile before you go and see my grandfather.
What? Are you crazy? I haven't even agreed to doing it yet.
I've thought this through. You really are the best choice here.
You gotta pay all your debts.
So, let's do it. Let's just pretend.
Don't wanna.
Just find another woman.
Damn it. Shit.
Ms. Shin Geum-hui.
Are you really going to back out like this?
That's not it. It's just I--
I have a reason why I can't do what you're asking me to.
What the hell am I gonna do?
How can I hope to fool the person who owns the company I work at?
What's your reason? Come on, let's hear it.
Oh! I can't just--
-Oh no, hold on! -What are you doing?
Goodbye! Let's talk tomorrow!
Ah!
