I'm crazy! The interview is at 9:00 a.m.!
What do I do?
My head.
Who parks in front of someone else's house?
What do you mean by someone else's house?
Boss!
We agreed to meet at 9:00 a.m. to sign a lease contract.
It's 8:25 a.m. right now.
Boss, give me a ride in your truck.
Are we signing the lease somewhere else?
I guess I'll prepare to move after I drop you off at your interview.
What are you talking about since earlier?
Are you going to live there without the owner's knowledge?
Don't you remember?
You agreed to give me the room if I hired you.
I did?
By the way, why do you keep speaking casually to me?
You told me to drop the honorifics first.
If I fail the interview,
I'll work here part-time.
All the while hoping I'd never see you again.
One shot!
I still don't feel good after downing that bottle of soju.
I'll rent you the room if you drink this.
Really?
I drank it. Keep your promise.
Okay.
Come to sign the contract by 9:00 a.m. tomorrow.
And drop the honorifics now.
Call me "Ye Rim."
Ye Rim!
Ye Rim?
I got it, so stop calling me.
What kind of interview questions do they ask that someone like you get nervous?
Boss,
you put a bunch of fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable corner.
What will you do if they're not all sold that day?
I can sell them the next day.
What if they don't get sold that day and the next?
Next question.
Don't you think Boram Mart's snack corner is too far from the entrance?
The snack corner?
Isn't it too far for the children to venture in?
The snack corner has to be close,
so the parents buy a few snacks for the kids on their way to pay.
In a mart you can circle within a few steps,
will changing the placement make a difference?
Everything is delivered to your home with a few touches on your smartphone.
But a customer came all the way to our mart.
Do you really want them to walk all over to shop and make it complicated?
Questions like these are consecutively thrown at you.
You'd go insane, right?
Your anxiety is understandable.
But...
they're all valid questions.
Thank you!
Oh Ye Rim!
I learn something new from you every day.
I didn't know selling food and beverages would take so much effort.
I gave you a special lesson in return for the ride.
As expected, you're overqualified to be just a part-timer.
So don't get scared at the interview and become a number one food company employee.
I'm off.
- Ms. Oh Ye Rim? - Yes?
Is there a product line our company should develop in the future?
A... product...
line?
Yes.
All right! Mr. Park's honey sweet potatoes, which you saw on TV!
We'll sell them at a fourth of the department stores' price!
Uglies.
Excuse me?
Ugly vegetables, such as...
ugly sweet potatoes.
There are many discarded agricultural products
that are the same quality but do not meet specifications.
I think it would be good for both consumers and businesses to buy
such agricultural products and provide them at reasonable prices.
Is this based on an academic paper?
This was my observation while working at a mart.
It's the result of 10 years of observation.
Customers don't really care about the packaging
if the product is cost-effective and high quality.
All right. If you fail the interview, you can do more research at the mart.
- Next applicant? - Yes, I'm Applicant No. 25.
I believe there needs to be a bold investment in meal kits.
I read this in an American journal.
It would have a huge sales effect
if you made a product with high-end meal kits for the middle class,
which are not available at local supermarkets.
I'll take my leave now to do more research...
at the mart.
Young Min, this ramen is killer.
You're my life-saver.
Your life-saver is Ho Rang, not me.
Ho Rang is found you knocked out in front of the mart.
It's annoying the more I think about it.
We had to leave the meat to go find you.
Why do you always sleep on the ground when you get drunk?
Oddly, I always sleep in front of Boram Mart when I get drunk.
It's hard for me, too.
If you're done stuffing your face with ramen, we'll start the morning assembly.
Where's Sang Woo?
He left for work at Jinseong Mart.
The goods will arrive tomorrow. We're in trouble because we're short of hands.
Jo Yi Joon,
how long will you force him to play undercover?
That's being too harsh.
I did that because you were doing all the work.
I also want to run a business efficiently but have nowhere to learn from.
That's why he went there!
Although, I do feel bad for Sang Woo.
Why are you feeling overwhelmed by business?
Hey, Shin Tae Ho. Will you keep stuffing your face?
Don't you have a source at "Food is Power"?
You found out about the sweet potato. Ask for information again.
What source are you talking about? Seriously...
Oh, Gosari...
This week's ingredient is gosari*? (Fernbrake)
Your ability to get hated on for being tactless is world-class.
I give you that.
You're talking about the MC, not fernbrake, right?
Hey, Gosari's CEO is Yoon Min Soo.
- What? - The sweet potatoes were the perfect bait product.
We need bait for our re-opening, too.
Go meet CEO Yoon regardless of his despicable attitude.
Young Min.
More rice, please.
Are you not involved?
You speak as if you're not affected by this.
I wonder if our youngest is even eating.
The rice is a bit cold.
Excuse me!
Yes?
Me?
Weren't you...
in Thunder Boys?
Yes, I was a Thunder Boys-
Sorry?
I'll move in this weekend.
Go ahead.
When should I start work?
The interview result already posted?
Did they drop you?
No, I dropped that company.
Boram Mart passed my interview.
What?
I'm still young.
Even if it's just for a day, I want to work somewhere I'm drawn to and feel sincere about.
And that's our mart?
Yes, so please take precautions from now on.
Don't talk about the house at work.
Let's keep private and professional lives separate.
Sure.
If the guys find out we live together-
Who lives together?
Someone might misunderstand.
Okay.
And I can work starting tomorrow,
but I can't work on the re-opening day.
There's a Chaingirls concert.
It's their first visit to our neighborhood.
That's a no. I'm sorry, but I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
See you tomorrow.
Whoa, he changed as soon as we finalized the contract.
Is the mart closed?
It's not exactly open...
Why? Do you need something?
An errand?
It's my dinner.
A child...
shouldn't eat ramen for dinner.
You still need to grow.
This brat has a taste for ramen.
Have some rice with it.
I don't have money.
It's my gift to you.
I'm a boss here, punk.
I'm not a beggar.
I have 30 disciples your size.
Just think your teacher is giving it to you and just take it.
Children can afford to be thick-skinned.
Look at the brat acting tough.
What? You want the money?
Wow, I never imagined you'd give him rice.
I'm a professional when it comes to grade school kids.
Sure.
Then, pitch an idea about child customers.
An idea?
The snacks are too far.
What?
They're too far.
Don't you think Boram Mart's snack corner is too far from the entrance?
Isn't it too far for the children to venture in?
You gave me the chills for the first time.
Did I do...
something?
Weren't you...
in Thunder Boys?
- Sorry? - You are! The youngest, Yoon Sang Woo!
How did you know?
Is it something I shouldn't know? I live in this neighborhood.
You must work at this mart now.
Did you quit music?
This is my business card.
I'll visit again.
Gosh, there's a ton of things to organize.
These newbies will be the death of me.
Whoa, they're really in sync.
This is so odd.
Right.
The worst thing that could happen is I die, right?
They all came from different hometowns, and
have different personalities.
Hyungs, the ramen section is done.
Their ages are different, too.
You need to go somewhere with me. Don't run away*. (Sounds like "rabbit" in Korean)
You're not the one to talk.
Don't worry. A Ho Rang* never runs away. (Same spelling/sound as tiger in Korean)
Geez. Hey!
It's not funny at all.
Stop trying to be funny.
And they always fight when they meet.
But their teamwork is good.
What did these people do in the past?
Hey, she's here.
Bosses,
gather around.
This is part-timer Oh Ye Rim, and it's her first official day of work.
Though she's part-time, she has been our Boram Mart sunbae for seven years.
She's got a history with you.
The fighters at the cashier.
She goes back and forth between being a part-timer and worst customer.
There's no way I wouldn't know her.
I'm hot and cold like that.
But why is the cashier sorting the inventory?
Taking care of money is enough of a headache.
See? You heard her, right?
Man, what a great part-timer.
You're totally welcome.
I welcome you, too, Ye Rim.
Looks like our mart will finally start running now.
Since Boram Mart's part-timer is here, Jinseong Mart's part-timer will go to work now.
See you in the evening, Hyungs. See you again, Ye Rim.
Let me know if Jinseong Mart's boss harasses you.
We just need to open a seafood section.
But I can't bring it up because they'll make me do it.
I'm sorry, Sang Woo.
- I'll also go to the Taekwondo center now. - Hey,
- I told you not to run, right? - Boss,
you have to learn more about the POS machine from me.
Huh?
I'll wait. Come back soon.
Okay.
Choi Ho Rang, let me know.
I'll come later.
Boss, I'll take care of the POS machine since Boss Tae Ho isn't here.
The receipts, too. Gosh, there's so much to do.
I was surprised.
Choi Ho Rang came crawling in here again, huh?
You don't look like you came to argue.
Did you come to ask for a favor?
We decided to do business at the mart.
I know.
You already knew?
Cut to the chase now. So what?
Did you come to make sales?
I saw Go Sa Ri, one of your celebs, come out on "Food is Power."
You know what the next food is, right?
I do.
Please tell me...
what that will be.
I think it'll be valuable information for our business.
If I give you the information, what will you give me?
Sorry?
Go to the real estate agent and
tell them you're not selling Boram Mart.
Is that...
all you want?
I know since I do business.
Thinking about making a lump sum from selling the mart
makes you think nothing of earning 10,000 or 20,000 won.
You understand what I mean, right?
- Yes. - Once you take the mart off the market,
I'll give you the information.
Will you tell me starting this week?
Take it off first, punk.
Yes, Chairman.
Sure, that'd be great. Yes.
When do you have time?
Yes.
I got it. Sure thing.
All right, take care now.
Man, you look so splendid.
Hello.
Who are you?
Oh, I'm the manager CEO sent.
Oh, my, my. Looks like the CEO earned some money, thanks to me, huh?
Assigning me road managers like you, huh?
It was about time, right?
Here.
But who's this guy on the right?
Oh, I'm in charge of...
hair and makeup.
Hyungnim...
your skin tone is No. 23, right?
Oh, my. How did you know?
You've got great eyes.
My, my. This is the dream team.
The dream team, you hear?
Let's go, Dream Team.
Yeah, let's go, let's go.
Hey, how did you know he uses No. 23?
I asked Ye Rim just to be safe.
What's the occasion? You never did such things.
He'd have gotten suspicious and kicked us out if I counted on you.
Man, you're getting carried away again.
Hey, hey!
My, my. Go Sa Ri Fam is already so close.
Be gentle! You'll get hurt!
Hey, smile, smile.
All right. Let's go.
It's this car.
We're going into the shoot.
Okay, we got it.
Dispatch! All right.
Gosh, what are you doing?
O-Oh, okay.
Choi Ho Rang?
You're Choi Ho Rang, right? How long has it been?
Hey.
Has it been about five years? Which show are you here for?
Well, it's just...
You're not a cast?
Could it be you became a manager now?
Yes.
Hey, b-by the way,
our shoot started, so I need to go. Sorry.
H-Hey, hey! Let's take a selfie since it's been forever.
I'm just so glad.
The customer is not answering the phone.
Please try again later.
Sang Woo, did you even get to eat while you're working?
But does Boram Mart have fish?
It doesn't.
The moment I talk about seafood, they'll put me on the spot.
Sang Woo...
I'm sorry.
I can't stand the fishy smell, and I lack responsibility.
Maybe I shouldn't have joined the business.
- You can have three. - Three?
You know there's bunggeo* in bunggeopang*, right? (Carp in Korean, Fish-shaped pastry filled with red bean paste)
You're really funny.
We had bunggeopang in our neighborhood, huh?
Should I get some for the guys?
Wait, it's bunggeo...
I'll pass on fish for a while.
- Honestly, bunggeopang is always good. - But you know...
Guys, you want some?
Crab?
Even the snacks are seafood!
What's up with you all?
You're making me waver.
It felt weird going to the broadcasting station after a long time.
Hey.
We didn't even clank our glasses.
Whatever. I was a fool to expect that from you.
Let's drink on our own.
Gosh, how boring.
What's this?
Did you take a selfie with Yoon Tae Ha?
"Choi Ho Rang, who was once my rival.
Though we competed back then, I was glad to see you again as my fan.
I welcome you to my fandom and hope you succeed as a manager."
Gosh, this is pisses me off!
Who's calling you a manager? He didn't tell you he'd upload the picture, right?
Hey, send him a DM right now.
Tell him to take down the post. Should I do it?
Don't waste your breath on something unnecessary.
Also...
it's true I'm a manager today.
Don't you get angry?
This guy's just happy he looks better off than his old rival he bumped into.
his old rival he met, isn't he?
He's saying he's still an idol.
And?
Should I have said I work at a mart instead of being a manager?
You could've said you're the boss!
That's not important. I don't care what he thinks of me.
Nope. It matters to me.
Choi Ho Rang,
in your place,
I"ll break him apart.
Hey, don't do anything unnecessary.
Don't stop me.
The beginning of breaking apart is hate comments.
Boss!
How is it? Gina unni is really pretty, right?
Oh, do you not know her?
Huh?
Y-Yes.
I'm sure Young Min knows her better than you do.
N-No, I don't.
What's up with your faces?
Geez...
Did you fight at the broadcasting station?
The broadcasting station?
What did you go there for? You should've taken me with you!
They didn't go to hang out there.
They went to the filming set to find out the ingredients.
You guys went that far?
I was the manager, and Tae Ho was hair and makeup when he doesn't even wash his face.
Hey, I do wash myself!
That's why you asked about Go Sa Ri's skin tone?
You're more detailed than you look.
Huh?
I used up the cushion you lent me. I'm sorry.
I'll buy one for you.
It's fine. I didn't use it anyway because it's too dark.
By the way, did you gain anything?
There was no point.
Even if we know the ingredient, we can't sell it.
Why? What is it?
It's mackerel.
Seafood?
It has never been sold in the history of Boram Mart.
It'd be too hard to sell right away, right?
It's unfortunate,
- but we'll have to pass. - Gosh.
I tapped on Go Sa Ri's face until my wrist was numb to find out about the mackerel.
We're all busy with our duties already.
Sang Woo isn't here, either.
Attention!
You know I'm not
in charge of any duty.
Aigoo, Spy!
Why did you come back?
Your mission is over. Let's go home, Sang Woo.
- We haven't found anything out yet, though. - We have something to do.
And I'll do it.
We have something to do? What is it?
Seafood.
Sorry for making you go through this, Sang Woo.
You two are on the same side?
You were Boram Mart's spy, too?
Boss, I'll leave a review for Jinseong Mart.
The lady in the Fresh Product section has a bunch of burdock roots in her bag
and the part-time cashier noona isn't sick. She just took off acting sick.
I saw all of these from working briefly,
but you didn't notice any of it, right?
You should care about your workers a little more.
W-What do you even know?
You annoying Boram Mart's scoundrels!
Get lost, both of you!
We were going to get lost already.
Because we'll become the top mart in this neighborhood.
By the way, Boss...
your uniform is...
a little tacky.
This uniform is a little tacky, too.
Let's go.
Hyung, by the way, can you really handle seafood?
I have already looked up all the fish markets.
I'm meeting a seller early in the morning, too.
You looked them up?
We'll be able to open the mart tomorrow, right?
Of course, we will. Don't worry.
Boram Mart Season 2 starts today.
And the 10 duties are in effect.
You know, right, Shin Tae Ho?
Let's not tick each other off.
We need to do a cheer. What should it be?
Why don't we do 'Rumble, bang, bang' for old times' sake?
- Gosh, Hyung. - Hey.
Rumble, bang, bang?
Rumble, bang, bang!
Thunder Boys!
Right, Guys.
I prepared a present for our fresh new start.
What is it?
Ta-da!
Whoa!
Ye Rim,
Boss Yoon,
Boss Shin,
Boss Choi,
Boss Eun,
and lastly,
Boss Jo.
It's nice and shiny.
- I'll open the store now. - Let's do our best.
Fighting!
We have a customer.
Really?
It's our first customer of the reopening.
Let's all greet in one line.
Hello-
Whoa!
Gosh, looks like I'll miss out on watching something fun.
I'm going to the fish market, okay? Tell me everything later.
Gosh, let go of me!
Gosh, seriously.
I was wondering why you left the Taekwondo center so frequently over some appointments.
Did you start working here?
I didn't get a job here. I own this place.
Hey, who would ever make you a boss?
You're embarrassing me in front of them.
If you don't want to be embarrassed more, go quietly.
- I don't want to. - Come.
- I don't want to! - Noona!
Noona, we're really owners of this mart.
I get you're worried about Tae Ho,
but it's our first day opening the mart by ourselves.
I hope you'll understand.
Ho Rang, you know Tae Ho.
He can't do business.
He's got no sense for work and life because he grew up privileged.
I know.
He hates hard work and can't lift heavy things.
He never even cleaned once with his own hands.
He doesn't even clean his room!
He doesn't clean the mart, either.
Wait,
what's up with you two? Are you doing a diss battle about me?
But still...
he's crazy for money, so he's good at calculating.
Noona,
we need every single member here.
We need...
Tae Ho.
On top of Tae Ho lacking competence,
as his noona,
I don't want my brother working at a place like this.
Our late father would roll over in his grave.
Everyone, move!
I need to pay.
Grandma, here. I'll ring you up.
Let's stop all this useless stuff and go.
What? Where is he going?
- Sorry? - Come ring me up.
Grandma, he's not going to work here anymore.
Grandma, I said I'll help you. You can give it to me.
No, I can't trust anyone else.
I'm only going to pay this young man.
Other employees even threw away the points I had saved for years!
That's right.
Grandma!
I found this while...
sweeping the floors.
You found it! You did!
Hurry up and ring me up for this.
And give me the sticker thing as well.
Okay, I got you.
If you like the mart that much,
don't come to the Taekwondo center starting tomorrow!
Noona!
This is our opening present.
Take them and give them to the kids.
Does this even make sense?
Tae Ho,
you're only 29. Will you be satisfied in life selling red bean jelly?
It's not too late. I'll pay for everything.
So challenge yourself to anything you want to do.
Being a mart owner is also a challenge.
This is a challenge?
Don't you even have a dream or a goal?
You told me to earn a living!
You're the one who said that.
Gosh, seriously.
Okay.
I'll give you a raise, so don't work at a place like this.
If it were a few months ago, I would've been hooked on what you said.
Because I was crazy for money.
But I realized it a while ago.
I'm...
crazy for affection.
What?
After Mom passed away when I was young,
after all the members separated while living together,
and after our scary father passed away,
I lived aimlessly because I was lonely, Noona.
But if I sit around at the mart,
customers come by all day.
And I bicker and work with the guys,
so I don't get lonely.
I want to...
be happy before I become 30,
rather than being successful.
So, please.
Let me off the hook, Noona.
This isn't enough for anybody.
Give me one more bag next time.
I'm going.
Next up, "Food is Power" will air.
What about Yi Joon? Is he on his way?
He's not answering his phone. Did he get on a fishing boat or something?
What do we do? The ingredients need to be here before the show airs.
Gosh, looks like our first day will be a failure.
Should I go out and bring in some customers?
No, let's wait a little. We opened just now.
Is it here?
Where's Tae Ha oppa's friend?
- Hey, he's there. - Oh, he's there!
Are you close to Tae Ha oppa?
- Sorry? - Didn't you take a selfie with Tae Ha oppa?
I saw you on SNS, Oppa.
Oh...
the picture I took with Tae Ha.
Whoa, he said Tae Ha.
Are you two friends? When are you meeting him again?
Aigoo, he's Tae Ha's best friend.
Daebak. Do you know Tae Ha oppa, too, ahjussi?
Ahjussi?
Tae Ha is oppa, but why am I ahjussi?
Here. These are gifts for Tae Ha oppa. Could you give them to him for us?
Sure.
But how did you know about this place?
The address was in the comments, saying this is Tae Ha oppa's friend's mart.
We'll buy a lot today.
The address?
"Tae Ha's bestfriend, Choi Ho Rang.
His main job is being a mart boss.
- The address is Gyeonggi-do-" - Hey, I got it.
It's better than leaving a hate comment.
But I didn't know they'd come after seeing this.
- Hey, it's him. - Is it him?
Whoa, it's him.
Hello.
Tae Ha oppa's friend, please give this to Tae Ha oppa.
Please give this to our oppa. This is it, right?
Can I take a picture, please?
Is our oppa really handsome?
- You're handsome. - Is he handsome?
Where's Tae Ha oppa?
Daebak!
The boss is doing everything but work.
Look how excited he is.
Hey, it's Gina unni's commercial.
Gosh, she's too pretty.
How can a person be that beautiful?
Gosh, what did she eat while growing up?
Gosh, she's really so fresh. She's a human grapefruit.
- Whoa, it's Gina! - It's Gina!
Gina unni?
You're so pretty, Unni!
- What's this all of a sudden? - I'm a fan!
Gina came to Boram Mart!
Isn't it Gina from the TV?
I said I'll buy it for you.
What about all the cameras?
How would you know the ice cream I'm craving in this mood?
Where are the ice creams?
I-It's in front of snacks- No.
I-It's next to the meat section.
Stay here. I'll go get it.
Wait, don't take pictures.
Please don't take pictures!
- Don't take pictures. - Gosh, what do I do?
Whoa, daebak.
I even listened to her song on the way this morning.
And Gina noona is right in front of my eyes.
Choi Ho Rang, this is it!
Go ask Gina for a selfie like the one with Tae Ha!
Once you post that picture,
our mart will become world-class!
I won't do it twice.
Becoming a squid* next to an idol. (Slang for looking ugly)
Also, Shin Tae Ho, you need to read the air.
I saw you.
Come out.
You'll really do this?
Come out here, Eun Young Min!
♫ Inside the shadow that cast so quickly ♫
♫ Maybe you were right when you said... ♫
Hey! Come out here!
♫ So I can stay where we are ♫
Come out!
♫ The lies are bringing us down ♫
♫ Please don't lie ♫
♫ Tell me why ♫
♫ At the end of the time we lost ♫
♫ The place I looked up to once again ♫
♫ It's still dark ♫
♫ Please don't ♫
One plus one box. Starting from 6,000 won.
Hello. You're not doing music again?
How do you...
know Gina unni?
Didn't you miss me?
Let's settle it like this.
So why did you corner him?
Boss Tae Ho, I didn't like you doing it to our boss.
You need to look far ahead to do business.
What are you two doing here?
The only people you can trust are your coworkers.
