YOU'RE A MODEL LANDLORD!
The property manager has great character! Fantastic!
HE IS TRULY DIFFERENT
Landlord, sir.
Have some refreshing iced coffee.
Mr. Oh.
Thank you so much.
Huh?
Why does this taste so good?
I know, right?
Our cafe's latte is ranked second in the world. Didn't you know?
Then who's in first place?
I'm actually first. I'm just trying to be humble.
Wow, you started this cafe like this,
but with how times are these days, how will you get through?
I'll just have to hang in there.
Still, it's great to meet a great landlord like you and get discounts.
It cheers me up.
Mr. Oh Dong-ki, you inspire me even more.
With an amazing tenant like you,
I feel like this cafe really anchors our Seyoon Building.
I feel so reassured.
Huh?
From now on, I'll give coffee discounts
to everyone using this building.
Wow, I really appreciate that.
You know we have a storage room in the basement, right?
Yes.
Feel free to use that.
If you have any issues with the cafe,
just let me know anytime.
I'll solve it right away without taking a breath.
Wow, our landlord is the best.
Seyoon Building, let's go!
Let's go!
Shall we take a commemorative photo?
Oh, should we?
Let's see.
You look great.
One, two, three!
- Okay. - That turned out nice.
- I'll send it right away. - Sure.
Should we just hang this on the cafe wall?
Shall we?
- Mr. Oh. - Yes?
Isn't the banner a bit small?
Should we have made it bigger?
No, it's big enough.
Who wouldn't be able to see this?
- I guess you're right? - Yes.
This neighborhood
needs to blossom for this building.
Of course. This building will become the center.
Right.

EPISODE 5
Gosh, I'm using this on Oh Dong-ki now.
With this,
you'll be out for hours.
Now it's your turn.
Right.
All done.
Yes.
Enjoy your meal
- Cheers! - Cheers!
- Nice to meet you! - Oh, I...
- You should come wash your hands. - Okay.
Will Oh Dong-ki be okay?
The bleeding stopped quickly.
The wound isn't as deep as I thought. He'll be fine.
Why is everything becoming a tangled mess?
What are we going to do now?
What if he knows everything?
What do you mean?
Your kidnapping.
So let's think it through calmly.
We can talk it out.
What are we supposed to talk about?
How about asking for hush money?
What if he just starts blabbing after getting paid?
Is there some kind of confidentiality agreement needed then?
Then first, I'll find a way
to talk to him when he’s calm.
Hey, Kim Seon, you seem different.
Were you like this when you were with Hwal-sung too?
You don't remember what we talked about earlier,
don't you?
Let's discuss that later. Now is not exactly the time.
Seriously, what an excuse.
Then what do you want to do?
Get a divorce?
Let's get out of here quickly.
Let's hurry.

I'm sorry about before.
What?
When you interrogated Su-jong.
Oh...
You were just doing your job.
I think I was too sensitive.
No,
I was too hasty.
We can
still catch the culprit, right?
I'll do my best.
But in cases like this, if we don't catch the perpetrator within 48 hours,
it's likely to become an unsolved case.
Oh!
Oh my.
Our young lady is here early.
By the way...
How is Mr. Min doing?
Same as always.
I see.
Hey, should we get her something to drink?
It's okay. I should get going.
Oh?
I heard my mom is having dinner with you today.
Yes, I heard about that.
Three billion.
Pardon?
Mom won't give up that money.
My mom is someone who refuses to buy anything at a loss.
I see.

Nam Sang-ho, Policy Advisor at Seoul City Urban Planning Committee
Nam Sang-ho?
So, he died while inside during demolition.
I guess he had a drink or something.
Captain,
Jung Chang-su's building
was transferred to Real Capital.
That coincides with the time of death.
If you could just issue a search warrant...
Hey.
Are you going to rely on instincts again?
Is it because of Gyun?
I'm very busy so don't cause a fuss.
Hey.
Just handle this
as a simple accident.
Huh?
I brought Jung Chang-su's body, like you asked.
Why can't you let us investigate?
I mean,
are you still holding a grudge over that time
the team leader got stabbed?
Hey, you fool!
That was so long ago!
Then what is it?
Seriously...
Ju-ran.
Let's live a bit more straightforwardly.
You need to show results and get promoted too.
Forget it.
That's not necessary.
Do you know an advisor named Nam Sang-ho?
Nam Sang-ho, Policy Advisor at Seoul City Urban Planning Committee
I heard he's a city hall official.
Hmm,
no.
Who is this guy?
This was found on Jung Chang-su's dead body.
Hey, come here.
Hey.
I have a bunch of these politician cards too.
Look at this.
Central Administrative Research Institute, auditor...
Hey, I'm worried about you. Don't be messing with politicians.
If you're not careful, it'll be big trouble for you.
Goodness.
Gosh.
Time to eat.
Okay.
Dad, is something wrong?
No, it's nothing.
The steamed eggs are delicious.
The seasoning is just right today.
Honey,
I don’t feel like eating.
Da-rae,
I'm heading out to work first, okay?
Dad, why not eat first?
Someone is
waiting for me at the building.
Sorry.
Why is Dad acting like this?
Don't worry about it.
Oh, your dad
has type-O blood, right?
Dad is type O, Mom is type B, I'm type B.
Why do you ask?
Hmm...
One iced Americano is ready.
Why is it taking so long today?
I'm sorry.
Hello.
- Two iced Americanos. - Coming right up.
Aren't you taking orders?
Just a moment.
But I need to hurry.
Sir, I'll have a chocolate latte.
I'm sorry. Just a moment.
Where's the damn boss?
Was he drinking again?
BOSS
PART-TIMER 7
What a hassle.
Seriously, what is going on?
A landlord stabs a tenant and holds him hostage? Is this right?
I'm sorry, Dong-ki. Seriously, it was an accident.
Mr. Gi, I'm feeling really cold and dizzy right now.
I'm cold and dizzy, so I think I really need to go to the hospital.
Is that so?
Aren't you hungry? I brought some food.
Do you know I peed myself all night?
Oh my.
It's okay. It's all dried up.
If you let me go now,
I'll pretend this never happened and forget it all.
Dong-ki, here.
Have a sandwich, okay?
It's hard to eat lying down right now.
There's egg and ham inside.
You should try this.
Here you go.
Be careful.
And those were scissors, not a knife.
Oh.
Drink some water.
Here's some water.
Drink slowly.
That was
the sandwich from our cafe, right?
Yes, that's right.
Is the cafe okay?
Well, the part-timer is working hard right now.
Jeez.
What are you going to do with me?
You're not going to kill me.
Please.
How could someone really say such harsh things?
So let's stop here.
Please send me to the hospital.
Yes, just hang in there, okay?
- Really? - Yes.
- You'll release me, right? - Yes.
Then I will
not talk about
how your wife is having an affair with your friend. I promise.
Who told you that?
You both tied me up and talked about it yesterday.
Wait, let me eat this...
LOAN HEAVEN
Ma'am.
We know each other, right?
I'm not sure.
You're Mr. Min's wife, aren't you?
Yes.
Is Mr. Min still
at the hospital?
That's right.
Hmm, that's too bad.
He needs to shake this off and get up
so he can pay back my money.
Your husband
doesn't have credit as a person.
Credit is life.
Isn't that true?
How much is it?
With interest and various fees,
it comes out to 800 million.
Did he only borrow money?
What do you mean by that?
Did you lend or buy him a car?
We're a loan company.
We don't deal with used cars.
How about a ghost car?
Ghost car?
Oh my, what should I do about this lady?
Lady, ghost cars are illegal.
Loan companies are legal.
Do you
have the money to pay it back?
Hmm, since I didn't hear anything back,
I was going to go into seizing.
- Account. - What?
Account number.
Don't you want your money?
Oh, let's see...
It's 94028-119-572-38.
Nara Bank.
Check right now.
Hmm...
NARA BANK DEPOSIT: 800,000,000 WON
Wow.
That's bold.
Ma'am,
if you need anything,
please call me.
YEON HWA-JIN INTERNAL MEDICINE
Oh.
Ae-su?
What? You want a smoke?
Like before?
No, I'm fine.
You used to call me a quack not that long ago.
What's with you now?
There's a reason.
But is this really safe?
Yes.
That doctor doesn't care anymore since he's dying.
But is it worth it?
It's super great.
Don't get caught.
Don't worry.
- But about the money... - It's fine.
What's money between us?
Thanks.
Have a cigarette.
Wow, I'm donating blood.
It's been a while.
I'm feeling dizzy.
What's that?
I'm doing it for him.
You should make it comfortable for him to talk.
He should eat alone
and use the bathroom when he needs too.
This the handcuff key.
You keep it.
Where did you get those handcuffs?
What do you mean by where?
I bought them at a place that sells them.
From an adult shop?
You used those when you were with Hwal-sung, right?
Since Hwal-sung is a pervert,
you were using that provocatively...
Damn it.
Are you crazy?
Is that what you want to say right now?
Aren't you the crazy one?
How could you do that with my friend...
I'm really sorry.
If you can't forgive me, let's just divorce.
But,
we need to take care of this first.
I want to focus on our problem first.
You don't even care about my feelings, do you?
I'm still haunted by that video.
I'm sorry.
That won't happen again.
Seon,
when a woman cheats, it's different from when a man does it.
It's because they truly love the guy.
It's nothing like that.
I made a mistake and so did you.
It's enough if we realize it now.
But I still didn't cheat.
It's all set.
How was it when you talked to him
this morning?
He said if I let him go, he'll pretend it never happened.
Could you trust him?
How can I trust him?
I can't even trust my wife.
Let's try to convince him. If not...
If not?
We'll have to choose
between family or him.
Hwal-sung.
There is nothing else, right?

I'm an aging married woman with kids, so why do you keep wanting to meet me?

My wife may look fine, but she's not charming
ALL SHE DOES IS WHINE...
Then again, it seems she only cares for herself, immature and superficial...
Exactly. She's empty inside, but you're so full inside
Hello?
Hey, where are you?
Oh, I'm at the hospital.
What is it?
Is something wrong?
No, I'm just a bit tired.
When will you arrange the meeting I mentioned?
With the Seyoon Building owner.
Just wait a bit, Mom.
Why are you stalling?
Hurry up and take care of it.
Okay, I get it, so just stop already.
Tsk.
HOW TO KILL SOMEONE
DEATH WITHOUT PAIN

We'll have to choose
between family or him.
No.
This is a bit heavy.
Ah.
Huh?
What are you doing?
Oh.
Something is broken in Dad's building that needs fixing.
I think you are broken, Dad.
Come on.
Dad is fine. I'm good.
Wait, Da-rae.
Never mind.
What? You're acting strange lately. Snap out of it!
Oh, right. I just remembered.
Dad loves Da-rae.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, did you bring it?
Take it out.
Here it is.
Oh, that looks unsightly.
Hurry up and close it.
I thought he was my guy.
Turns out, he was doing some weird stuff behind my back.
Anyway,
good job on dealing with him.
It wasn't a big deal.
Look at you.
You sure have a knack for humor.
You're young.
But,
what happened to that executive?
He went back to America.
Without even saying goodbye?
That guy has no manners.
That's good to hear.
He can't do his job, but still acts like a showoff.
I didn't like him.
Oh.
What did you say your name was again?
Jonah.
Are you an overseas Korean?
Something similar.
Similar?
Are you
something like a problem solver?
Whatever it is, just do well going forward.
I'm not the type to care about age or gender.
Only skills matter.
- You got it? - Just leave it to me.
No hesitation.
Young.
Morgan?
You're way better than that sly guy.
Anyway,
make sure to clean things up, okay?
We don't know where Lee Morgan is.
We're still looking. And...
For the redevelopment project, I'm handling the case separately.
I've already contacted key city officials.
It looks like we'll have good news soon.
Are we really going to keep this going with the tteokbokki place?
Nouveau City.
Only until we finish it all.
What about this one?
We'll mix him in on that pile
so that there are no traces.
You really are thorough.
It seems like your wife has done this a lot.
When will you let me go?
My friends will think it's weird if they find out.
Which is why I just wanted to discuss that with you today.
If you leave,
I need some kind of assurance that you won't say a thing.
Yes.
I'd like to do that too if possible.
Dong-ki, you saw the money, right?
I did.
You were going to take it, right?
Just be honest with me.
Yes, so I put it in the bag.
Do you know what kind of money that is?
You really need to be honest today.
Did you kidnap someone?
Oh, is that what you think?
I mentioned this before...
When I helped move that suitcase,
I lifted it like this, right?
From the bottom.
Someone was in there, right?
Hmm...
I've been honest with you.
I promise, I won’t tell anyone.
Why would I say this if I step out?
What's in it for me?
Actually, not saying it might benefit me more, right?
If you pay me, I'll keep the secret.
I mean...
How much?
Well, maybe one billion?
Don't just throw out numbers. Come on, be realistic.
Do I even have that much money?
Why wouldn't you?
I know when I see that kind of money.
Okay.
Let's say we did have that money, right?
If we give you that money,
you're not going to keep that promise.
I said I would...
Yes, well, you could think that way.
But in this kind of situation,
we need to trust each other.
Are you going to kill me?
You're not.
I know you're not that kind of person.
What I'm saying is...
Hold on, Dong-ki.
Wait a second.
Hello?
Hey, I'm on my way to the building.
Yi-gyeong is coming with her mom to the building.
I think she wants to sign the contract.
Now?
Yes, they're in a big hurry.
Looks like you were right about the redevelopment.
Yes, I've told you several times.
I kept on telling you not to sell it.
Okay, I'll head over right now.
Dong-ki, I'll be right back.
Hey, we need to still talk.
Think about your daughter!
Think about your daughter's future.
Will you become a murderer?
Da-rae, right?
What do you think she'll say if she saw this?
You'll be talking nonsense... "Da-rae! Da-rae!"
I'll get to the point.
I offered 30% over market price.
Why?
Why do you ask?
Why did you offer above market price?
So you know too.
Well,
people are really interested in this building lately.
It's too big a deal for you to handle.
You should step back.
I gave a good offer.
Mom, what's wrong?
I appreciate you taking care of my daughter and son-in-law.
Moving forward, I'll make sure to watch your back,
so just sell the building.
BUILDING SALE AGREEMENT
We don't have time, so let's just sign it and wrap it up.
But,
about Hwal-sung...
What?
Did you know that Hwal-sung
wanted this building?
I want to
hold onto this building a bit longer.
There must be a reason people want it.
You're taking this person's goodwill for granted.
You really have no idea how the world works.
I told you earlier,
you're not cut out to handle this.
Come on, Mom.
Yes, I understand what you're saying.
I think I should discuss this with my wife first.
But for you to be suddenly pushing for this,
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed today.
What was I pushing?
I already offered 30% more.
I didn't mean to ask for that, though.
You'll regret it.
You won't be able to handle this.
I'll make sure to put in the effort.
I'm sorry.
Let's talk about it again next time.
We need some time to think too.
Yes, Mom.
This feels too rushed today.
You people have no idea.
Sorry, I'll go talk to my mom.
- No, it's fine. - No, it's okay.
It's okay.
Mom.
Mom!
Yes, we have to think it over.
Mom!
Consider other people's perspectives too!
Do we really have to go this far?
You clueless fool.
That's why you get taken advantage of.
What?
I heard you paid off your husband's debt.
Mom, how did you know that?
You're such a foolish girl.
Wait, so you knew and still didn't help?
Why should I help with that?
But...
Jeez!
Yes?
Can we meet up later tonight?
I have a favor to ask.
Yes.
Okay.
What?
You ruined me, Mom.
Later on,
you'll realize that your mom was right.
No.
I'll never become someone like you.
Can this really work?
Is there another way?
Not exactly.
But how about lowering the amount a bit?
No.
Let's just pay him what we owe.
Fine.
Let's do it that way.
I, Oh Dong-ki, along with Kim Seon and Gi Su-jong,
were involved as accomplices in the kidnapping case of Jeon Yi-gyeong
and received money in return.
I pledge not to disclose this fact to any third party
and will uphold my duty of confidentiality with my life.
Yes.
We're done.
If you break the promise, we're all dead.
Oh, I'll definitely keep it.
A single stab and being locked up for two days for one billion?
That's a sweet deal.
Huh?
But...
Yes, Yi-gyeong?
What is it?
I'm back. I have things to tell you too.
You're in the basement, right?
She came to see us.
Stay right there. I'll be right out.
- I'm going. - Okay.
Take care of things and come back up.
Help me!
Hey, hey!
Wait! What are you doing, Dong-ki?
Do you really want to die? Huh?
Dong-ki, my nose is bleeding!
Yi-gyeong?
Seon, did you hear something?
Hear what?
I think I heard someone shouting.
This building is old, so sometimes, sounds from the first floor come through.
But what's going on?
Well, you see.
Can we talk quietly?
Yeah, sure.
- Should we go to the roof? - Yes.
I'm sorry. Can you untie this?
Why won't this open?
What? It won't open?
You're in trouble now.
What trouble? Come on, Dong-ki.
Try to speak nicely.
I have the key to the handcuffs right here.
Where is it?
Hold on.
Where did it go?
It's not there?
It's gone.
Damn it!
First of all,
I'm sorry about my mom.
It's not your fault, Yi-gyeong.
Still,
I set up the meeting.
I'm really sorry and feel ashamed.
That's just how family is.
Though it's frustrating and embarrassing,
you carry the burdens.
I don't know why my life turned out like this.
Yi-gyeong, who lives as well as you do?
Hwal-sung has a girlfriend.
She's a married woman with a kid.
But Hwal-sung
was talking bad about me with her.
He said I'm empty inside,
that I'm immature and have no charm.
I guess he married for our family's money, right?
I'm just young, rich, and kind of dumb.
I guess he thought, "What a steal!"
No, Yi-gyeong.
You're such a beautiful person.
Yi-gyeong.
Want to have a beer?
Yes.
Let go! let go of that!
Stop it!
Let go!
Let go! Oh Dong-ki, let go!
- My head! - Su-jong is a real man.
Huh? About what?
He's sincere.
Oh.
Who could it be?
The woman he cheated with.
I thought I wouldn't be curious,
but now that it's happening to me,
I'm really curious about her
and what kind of woman could make Hwal-sung
cheat with a married woman?
I'm dying to know.
Is she pretty?
Is she sexy? Is she smart?
It's not like that.
What?
It's just that
some people don't realize what they have is precious.
When you're unhappy with reality,
you covet what belongs to others.
That's just human nature.
What's better or worse
doesn't seem that important.
Yi-gyeong, it's not your problem. It's Hwal-sung's problem.
Seon.
What books have you been reading to make you talk so cool?
Please tell me.
Oh, what's so cool about it?
- Okay, Dong-ki. - Okay, I said I put it down!
Then take a break. Let's rest.
Let's rest.
- Oh. - Gosh.
Do you remember that?
Remember what?
Nice landlord.
During COVID?
Yes, when I started my cafe back then.
Oh, those were good times.
I think the latte back then was the best.
- Yes... - That time,
you did it for the tax benefits, right?
Don't talk nonsense. That's how the law normally is.
What are you doing?
Forget your law nonsense!
That was quite the strategy.
I got you, didn't I?
Hey, Dong-ki, don't do this! Hurry and let me go!
Thanks so much for your advice today.
Oh, it's nothing. Just let me know when you need help.
Let's really meet often from now on.
Sure.
Die!
Die! Damn it!
What's going on? He didn't come out?
What's wrong with this?
Huh?
What did I do so wrong?
Honey!
You think giving me money will solve everything?
Making me pee my pants!
Die!
Dong-ki, don't do this...
Huh?
Honey!
Let's go!
Jeez!
Damn it!
It's about doing what we did before once more.
You're saying to go to Seyoon Building
and create building defects?
It's not that hard.
We just need to go and break a few pipes.
Don't you think
we're too old for that?
We're better than those youngsters.
Do we really have to go that far?
If you knew the humiliation I faced today,
you wouldn't say that.
WHOEVER FINDS HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT
And whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. Matthew 10:39
I can lend you the equipment.
But that's as far as it goes.
You won't get your hands dirty?
That landlord
is someone I know too.
I have my principles as well.
Fine.
It's easier for me to do it myself anyway.
Dirty work, unpleasant tasks, dangerous jobs,
I've done them all myself to get here.
Why?
You can't trust a black-haired beast.
You'll regret it.
I've been regretting it for a long time.
That must hurt.
Dong-ki will be okay, right?
Yes, though he might be hurt a bit.
All done.
Gosh, what are we supposed to do now?
I don't know either.
We'll just have to wait and see.
When that punk Hwal-sung
mentioned about kidnapping back then,
I should have said no then. I must have been crazy.
I was just so focused on protecting the building.
That's not true.
You still did your best.
You did it for us.
If I go to prison, will you put in food for me?
You think you're the only one going in?
I should go in too.
No, you can't.
You have Da-rae to care for.
She has to get surgery and go to college.
She needs to get married.
Just keep that money safe,
then you can do it.
We'll stick together till the end.
No matter where we go,
let's keep going together.
We'll be okay, right?
Yes.
This is a whip!
Oh, I'm sorry!
MAD CONCRETE DREAMS
Is this all there is?
Oh, we started using the CCTV last night.
It was off due to issues before that.
Doesn't this situation seem strange?
The things only happening in this building.
Wake up!
Are you scared I'll get arrested or something?
Bring me the money, okay? Before I blow this whole thing up!
When I was kidnapped,
didn't you mention something about the place I was held?
Yi-gyeong asked about the storage freezer?
You're good at finding people, right?
I'm looking for that person.
Oh, we can do anything as long as we get paid.
Get him!
Are we suspects?
If you hadn't made that suggestion to me,
we wouldn't be here.
