Christmas we've all been waiting for
is just around the corner.
I feel empty inside,
having spent another uneventful year.
Why don't magical things ever happen to me?
It's cold, and nothing is going my way.
I hope we get a lot of snow at least.
This letter was sent by a listener.
If everything in life went as planned,
what fun would that be?
Don't magical things happen
when least expected?
I'll sing the song you requested
to cheer you up.
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, yeah!
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh
Yes, sir.
Yes, that's confirmed.
Winter Festival meeting will commence at 3 p.m.,
Art Fair meeting at 5 p.m.,
and the Gingerbread Charity is underway without a hitch.
Yes, I'll keep you in the loop.
(Kang Haneul)
(Yoona)
I know you're all busy during this year-end peak season.
Remember to stay on your toes!
Yes!
Also, the CEO's boiler froze up,
so it's being repaired.
He'll be staying here in the suite for a while.
(Kim Young Kwang)
(Seo Kang Joon)
(Lee Kwangsoo)
(Ko Sung-Hee)
Why not? I'm better off at a hotel.
No way. Tell me which flight.
I'll go pick you up.
I know you have a lot to prepare.
I'll contact you once I check in.
(Won Jian)
Jingle all the way!
Merry Christmas!
(A YEAR-END MEDLEY)
Welcome, sir.
I hope madam isn't too upset that I made her wait.
I can see everyone's future
except for mine.
I'm also clumsy once I leave the hotel.
Wasn't I supposed to give you a reading?
- Yes! - How's later today?
Right here? Today?
Sure, I'll call you once I'm done.
- My gosh, thank you! - I'll see you later.
- Okay! - See you!
- Sir, it's here! - Right, I know.
- I knew it was here. - Call me.
Good afternoon. I'm here.
Another casting call for Lee Gang?
It's written all over your face.
He took over all year-end music charts.
At this rate, he won't have time for us.
No way!
You believed in him
when no one did.
I think a lot of people can relate to that.
You know I'm having a Christmas concert, right?
I sent you two tickets to enjoy
with your family or friend.
I hope you will make nice memories
with your loved ones.
I got it.
What?
You'll get a proposal before the year ends.
Really?
I think you already have an idea.
But this year's going to be over soon.
Life is always full of surprises.
Everything in even numbers, always in pairs.
Even serial numbers and expiration dates.
Should I leave two of these?
Leave it if it normally comes in singles.
Just make sure to check the serial number.
He's such an odd guy.
I heard he even counts his rice grains.
No way.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
(AUDITION CALL FOR MUSICAL "CLASSIC")
Isn't that a really famous musical?
Are you auditioning?
Not really.
I just applied for it a while back.
Better than making beds here
until you die.
You don't need to clean the windows.
I'm doing it just in case.
That stupid boss will work us till we drop.
See you later!
I will fly away
Hold your breath and watch me
I'll show you my everything
The real me that was kept away
Run fast! Fly high!
I won't stop again
I'll show you my everything
The real me that was...
Sorry, I thought it was done.
No, sir, I usually don't wipe the windows, but...
I heard you were staying here tonight, so...
Sorry for the trouble.
It's okay. I'll be out of your way.
Baek Lee-young?
Nice name. It's even.
Thank you.
Enjoy your stay.
- Drive safely, sir. - I will.
Do you think it's true that Ah-young and Yoo-jun are dating?
She's not insane!
There's no way... No way in hell...
Are you crying?
You're a sharp prick.
Are you crying too, Sae-jik?
- Whatever. - Hey, he's only into swimming.
Then I call dibs on Ah-young.
I like Ah-young!
What's up with him?
Speak up, idiot.
Come here!
- Hello? - Hae-sun!
- Hae-sun! Wait, hold on. - Jeez, Jae-yong.
- Listen to me. Don't hang up. - It's over. Don't call me again.
I'll pass the civil service exam this time.
I promise, please! Give me one last chance.
Remember what you said?
You said you wouldn't call me if you fail again!
So why are you calling me? Just stop it already!
Hae-sun, baby... Why are you doing this to me?
Gosh...
Please, just once more...
No! No!
Oh, no! Need some help here!
Captain, he's here again, the Saturday blind date man.
I heard he's a plastic surgeon.
You're being nosy.
I mean, he's been here over 20 times.
But he gets rejected every time.
I'm just curious.
He's so gorgeous,
but why does he keep getting rejected?
I guess that's weird.
Not sure.
That's awkward...
I guess he'll be back next week.
He called you by your name?
Maybe he's got a crush on you.
Why would he fall for a girl wiping his windows?
Why not?
Everyone knows you're the hottest maid.
Not the second hottest?
You're the hottest.
You're a clever one, aren't you?
Huh? My necklace.
Where did it go?
Necklace?
I saw it earlier, very bling-bling.
Where did it go?
You knocked three times, then once.
Next time, please knock twice.
Four times is good too.
What can I do for you, Ms. Baek Lee-young?
I'm sorry.
I know I shouldn't be here.
But I lost something.
It must be very important.
Yes! It's my necklace...
It's really important...
Why don't you come look for it?
It's all right, sir.
My anxiety got the better of me.
I'm so sorry.
It's him!
Careful, careful!
We need to get to the next show!
We'll need to cut short! Thank you!
Watch your head.
Sorry, sorry, thank you!
Careful, careful!
Thank you!
Get a new manager!
Change your agency!
- Take better care of him! - Get a new car!
Yeah! Get him a new car!
Please move!
Aren't you tired?
We're on the road constantly.
We should get a better ride.
Hang in there.
We'll pay off the debt soon.
Let's go car shopping then.
Hey, Gang.
Producer Na called earlier...
You know I don't do variety shows.
I don't want to say it again.
Okay, I'll reject him.
Get some shut-eye.
- Kang Sang-gyu! - Yes?
Don't remember me?
Bong-yup.
- Bong-yup? - Yeah.
- Lee Bong-yup? - Yeah.
How long has it been?
Too long.
How have you been?
I don't go by "Bong-yup" anymore.
What?
- Catherine. - What?
Call me Catherine.
He's so clean.
I hope it's here.
Where could it be?
"Ms. 10,020."
"I hope this is what you were looking for."
You read it wrong.
It's my name, "Baek Lee-young."
Oh, a play on words for "100-2-0"?
Our boss has a sense of humor.
- That's a relief. - I know, right?
I couldn't even sleep a wink.
Oh my.
(THANK YOU. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANYTHING. - 10020)
It's locked.
Oh.
You look pretty. Are you in love?
I've always been pretty.
- So-jin! - It's been a while.
Look who it is.
You're making me sad. You know that?
Why is a single gal pretending to be so busy?
How can we only meet up once a year?
We used to play eight days a week as a band.
Anyways, now that you're here, let me pour you some water.
Hey, go easy.
- She'll be 40 soon. - And you already are.
Chug it, chug it.
- Wow, look at her go. - You still got it.
See, she's still got it.
You got my respect.
- Empty the glass. - Nice.
We're going for round two. You coming?
I just got here.
I'm off after this one.
My brother's home alone.
Then let's go to your house.
He's at the age when he wants to be alone.
You're such a good sister.
Let's go to our regular spot,
or would you rather cut ties with us?
- I'll cut it right off. - Good.
Cut him out and go with me.
You've been cut for a while.
Yes.
So-jin, I have something to tell you.
All right, fine, I'll come.
Wow.
Whoa.
Tripping is ingrained in your DNA.
- Hey. - Cheers!
It's been so long.
Those are still here?
The heater...
- So-jin. - Yeah?
Come sit here.
Why? What is it?
So-jin.
I'm...
getting married.
What? Married?
Why are you getting married?
With who?
She's a pianist.
The wedding is at your hotel on the 31st.
We haven't dated that long.
It's at my hotel, and you never told me?
He wants you to sing there.
Sing? Screw you.
So-jin, do me this favor.
You have to be very cautious.
They said to go around even a familiar road.
Why would you go around it?
The road, well, it's a winding road!
Whoosh! It's curved like that.
Look, she's tying her hair.
Damn, we're in for it now.
- We're out of booze. - You should stop. You're drunk.
It's all right. There's nothing else to drink.
Of course there is.
Oh my!
You up?
You're in better shape than I thought.
You thought wrong. Everything is spinning.
We barely stopped you
from squeezing out snake juice.
How are you going to go home?
I have to leave for a morning live show.
Who cares? You won't drive me anyways.
I'll at least walk you out.
Is it for real?
Huh, what is?
You getting married.
I wouldn't joke about such a thing.
We've always been like that.
Always joking, kidding around.
True.
We tried hard not to cross the line.
With you, there were always girls who wanted to cross that line.
Who?
Guest vocalist Yoo-sun, bassist Young-mi,
and Jin-gyung.
Hey, they all quit the band!
They gave up when you didn't pay them any mind.
Do you know how annoying that is?
They confessed their feelings for you to me.
Why did they want me to do?
I'll come see you at the hotel.
I got a few things to discuss too.
See you.
Jerk.
Sir, could you turn off the radio?
So-jin?
You're up early.
I was heading out to work.
You're wearing the same outfit as yesterday.
Tell me if you're pulling an all-nighter.
Going to practice?
We ran out of honey, so I made you some sugar tea.
Drink it.
I wanted to be the pretty seahorse.
But she stole my role.
She's a thief.
That thief will steal it. Hide it.
Mom.
I actually lost this necklace,
but my boss found it for me.
He has something else to steal.
No, it's not like that.
There are good people in the world too.
That punk, he's trying to steal
such a beautiful girl.
Mom, can you call me Lee-young?
Lee-young?
My daughter's Lee-young too.
I am your daughter.
That's actor Kwon Sang-woo.
Hello, Mr. Kwon Sang-woo. Thank you for coming.
Ah, yes.
- My apologies, I made a mistake. - It's fine.
- Sorry. - Okay.
Bring some complimentary dishes.
You're Kwon Sang-woo?
Enjoy your meal.
You're a better businessman than I thought.
It's looking good now.
Speaking of which,
now is the perfect time.
You'll maximize the profit if you sell it
while the business is good.
Let's give our shareholders
a nice gift at the board meeting.
When we merge with East Chain,
the stock price will soar.
Everyone will make a mint.
The sale will help your next business too.
It's not all about money. I want to use my degree...
Yeah, I know.
Your father wanted to let you start an art business
and hire a businessman to run the hotel.
I have a lot of respect for him.
I don't remember him ever loving me,
so I have no respect for him.
You didn't know him well.
His most prized treasure
was a drawing you gave him
that he kept in his safe.

You can't die from taking a lot.
But you could get sleep disorders, increased intraocular pressure,

and damaged stomach and organs
and live the rest of your life in a vegetative state.

Well...

But you still won't die.

Then I suggest...
taking rat poison.

Here...
Our captain wrote these tips for you.
- Hello. - Evening.
Ms. Eun-su.
- Did you wait long? - Yes.
- Hey, So-jin. - Yeah, Seung-hyo.
When are you free this week?
This week?
We should grab a bite with my fiancée.
Well, I'm pretty busy.
Since you're busy,
tell me when you're free, got it?
- Okay. - Let's meet up.
Christ...
I really wanted to meet you.
He talked a lot about you.
Nice to meet you too, Young-joo.
I guess Australians greet differently.
You're having an international marriage.
- Shall we order first? - Sure.
Excuse me.
You know what I want.
- Lasagna? - Lasagna.
One lasagna and...
truffle oil pasta for me.
And for my darling,
- truffle creamy mushroom risotto. - Truffle creamy mushroom risotto.
That'll be all.
Thank you.
Didn't you hate the gasoline smell of truffle?
It turned into an acquired taste.
You wouldn't even sit beside me
when I ate it.
You used to hate it? I didn't know that.
At this rate, you'll eat engine oil risotto too.
Stop.
What?
Sorry, I need to take this call.
Okay.
Yes, of course.
To be honest, she's been acting cold lately.
She's suddenly sensitive and has tantrums.
I have no clue why.
- Pre-wedding jitters? - Huh?
Brides get depressed and anxious just before the wedding.
Is that serious?
I haven't experienced it myself,
but that's my guess.
Could you do me a favor and meet with her alone?
- Me? - Yes.
Why should I?
Sorry.
No thanks.
Staycation my ass.
Got money to burn?
I don't deserve this. I really don't.
I can't die living in the gutter.
I'll at least die luxuriously.
Hotel.
Let's go to a hotel.
I'll stay at a hotel and jump off the ledge!
Okay!
Ma'am! I'm moving out.
No, moving out for good.
- Don't ever call... - Hello?
- Hello, madam. - Yeah, what?
How are you?
Something came up, and I need to move out.
- Thank you so much. - Thank you for everything.
A lot of people are interested.
- Do I have any deposit remaining? - Not sure.
Look over here.
This way, please!
Please wait at the front desk!
Can I help you check in?
I have a reservation under the name Kang Jae-yong.
- Here you are. - Thank you.
Ah, wait.
Sorry,
but can I get a higher floor?
- As high as possible. - Pardon?
It's... a view thing.
Is this free?
Hello, wake-up call service.
What time should I wake you?
Hello... 9:30, please.
Right, 9:30 in the morning?
Yes...
- One second... - Yes?
What happens if you call me,
and I don't wake up or pick up the phone?
Then we will knock on your door.
What if I still don't wake up?
Sorry?
Sorry, it's my first time at a hotel.
It's all right, sir.
Then I'll wake you up tomorrow morning at 9:30.
- Have a nice day. - Yes, thank you.
Please wake me up.
On the last day of the year,
I will end my life at this hotel.
I've never had any luck.
I'm tired of being a failure
and getting rejected.
I'm a worthless human being.
I am a useless piece of flesh,
who's done nothing good for this world.
Goddammit!
This bed is really nice.
This is your wake-up call.
- Good morning. - Hel... hello, yes, good morning.
It's 9:30. Are you awake?
Good morning.
Yes, good morning.
Let me give you a riddle
to prevent your brain from dying.
I'm dying?
Sorry about that.
So that your brain cells stay awake.
Yes, sure.
What do you call a fish wearing a bow tie?
You can tell me the answer tomorrow morning.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
You're saying he came here to commit suicide?
Guest services informed me
that the guest in room 1739
made some odd inquiries.
What's his itinerary?
He's checking out on January 1st.
Then he might really do it on the last day of the year.
Could he be...
a customer from hell?
Don't we just need to make him leave?
(EMROSS'S STOCK PRICES RISE AT NEWS OF MERGER WITH EAST CHAIN)
Let him die elsewhere.
Do you have any plans to kick him out?
We can pay him to walk out of here.
Can you use your own money to do that?
You don't know what they're like.
I believe that we have the responsibility
to provide the best service to all our guests.
Let's try our best to stop him.
Captain Park,
can you retrace his movements until now?
Yes, sir.
Ms. Baek Lee-young.
You did a good job.
Please tell the guest services to keep an eye on him.
He's a good swimmer.
Please keep me posted on his whereabouts.
Will do.
13-nothing.
I made up my mind.
I'm going to confess my feelings to Ah-young.
It's Christmas Eve.
It's the perfect backdrop, bang, bang!
It'll be a Christmas nightmare for her.
You like her too, right?
As a friend, I don't want to see you get hurt.
Yeah?
Then confess your love too.
We can both get rejected.
Then we can get over her together.
Should we?
I'm in too.
- What the hell? - You were into her too?
I just think it'll be fun.
I'll do it when you guys do it.
Morons.
You coming too?
Why should I?
Score.
When did we come here last?
It's still the same.
Don't men have a special spot for their first love in their hearts?
Where is my spot?

on your marriage.
When you get out, you should marry someone too.
And live a happy life.
But when both of us become single again...
let's get married.
Don't joke around.
I'm not.
We'll meet again someday.
Be well till then.
She's my daughter, of course.
Indeed.
So silly!
Catch me. Catch me if you can!
You're so dead if I get you!
You caught me.
Why are you letting me?
Kill me.
Why would I kill someone so old?
I'm old?
Hey! Wait right there!
You're the one who shouldn't have been caught!
- Fancy goldfish. - Wrong.
Fish with a bow tie is called "sofishticated"!
- Right! - Since you got it wrong,
you're waking up on your own tomorrow.
Okay, sorry.
You're so gullible.
Should I wake you up at 9:30 again tomorrow?
Yes, you remembered.
Of course, I got super high EQ and IQ.
- I'll wake you up at 9:30. - Wait, wait, please.
Can we talk a bit more?
Pardon? Why?
You have a really nice voice.
You're not someone who believes that those with nice voices
are all beautiful, right?
No, no, no, of course not!
It's all right. I'm also a stunner.
Have a nice day.

It's okay.

He's smiling.
I'm done.
Are you here to confess too?
To be honest, I don't really like you.
- I don't like you either. - Yeah?
I'm glad.
I was worried that you might be into me.
That's good.
Good job!

Let's go!
- We did it for fun, right? - Yeah.
Aren't you here to confess too?
No, I just followed them here.

No, they gave me a fun memory.

- "Merry Christmas"? - What the hell!
I don't know if I can talk to you like this.
Seung-hyo...
Never mind, forget it.
What is it?
You're making me more curious.
I'm a bit embarrassed to tell you this.
The thing is...
He hasn't proposed to me yet.
What?
You know how shy he is.
I thought he'd propose
if I mentioned marriage first.
I'm so stupid, right?
No way, not at all.
I totally get it.
How's this? Seung-hyo likes pasta.
As a pasta bowl.
He'd like...
this one way more.
- Wow. - Sweetie!
You chose exactly what I really like.
How did you know we were here?
I'll be out of your hair, then.
- Honey, give me a second. - Sure.
Hey! You can't just leave like that.
Have you had a chat with her?
You were going to have a wedding without a proposal?
Proposal?
She did it already.
That's not a proposal.
It means, "propose to me."
Ah! What should I do, then?
That's up to you.
You look like newlyweds.
May I recommend something that you might like?
Newlyweds are these two.
I'm so sorry!
Come on...
Oh!
- Wait right there. - Do you need help?
Just a bit more!
It's higher than I thought.
It is.
- How's this? - Almost there!
- A bit more! - So close!
- That's it! - Nice!
Here.
Thank you.
- Bye-bye. - Bye.
Thank you.
It's Christmas Eve. Do you have any plans?
I'm going to the church in a bit.
What about you?
Yeah? I was thinking of going to one too.
Mr. Kim. What brings you here?
It's my duty to be here.
- Here, congrats. - Thank you.
Aren't you busy nowadays?
Yes, a bit.
I heard you got an offer from KM.
I'm not interested in KM.

He lives off his face,
and it's all scratched up!
What will you do?
It's not like that, sir.
JB overreacted and got Gang injured.
First time doing a variety show?
Minor accidents can happen!
JB had to cancel all of his engagements this week.
That can't compare to the little injury
that fake singer is enduring!
Watch your language.
You can insult me all you want, but not him!
What?
- Are you a gangster or what? - Don't say that word!
What word?
Do you know what nickname Gang hates the most?
It's "gangster."
You must be tired. I'll make it short.
Don't make me wait too long.
Gang. Don't you remember him?
I guess he's good to his artists.
What are you saying? Speak your mind.
What's with the outfit?
Are you the singer?
I can't dress shabbily
with so many visitors today.
Why don't you sing on the stage?

- Aren't you Kang Jae-yong? - What? Yeah, that's me.

When did you last come to church?
It's been a while.
I never liked going alone.
How was it today?
Sitting and standing, standing and sitting.
It was hard.
The pew was cramped, cold, hard, and uncomfortable.
Totally different from our hotel.
You're right.
But it was nice to sing hymn 102 with you.
Good thing it was an even number.
- Oh, sorry. - It's okay.
Do you have any obsessions?
I don't have any.
You'll return to the stage one day?
I do have an audition soon,
but I don't feel confident.
You'll do well. Don't give up.
Thank you.
I promise to come watch when you're on the stage.
You can drop me off here.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Oh, darling, are you leaving?
Early morning starlight falls
On white snow
Are you leaving me
Leaving your footprints behind?
Myeongdong Street On a Christmas night
Numerous couples Who are they trying to annoy?
Memories suddenly begin to dance
I want to see you My beautiful dear
Come back to my palace
My ship that leaves
When the winds blow
Memories suddenly begin to dance
My reflection On the display window
It's sub-human, unbelievable
I just stare into full moon Up on the night sky
(MERRY CHRISTMAS, SIS!)
(DON'T DRINK TOO MUCH AND COME HOME EARLY)
(LET'S BE HAPPY!)
Huh?
Hey!
Hey, wake up!
Excuse me! Hey! Dammit...
Are you all right?
Sae-jik!
Hey, Sae-jik! Park Sae-jik!
Are you okay?
- What happened? - I'm all right.
He...
Thank you so much! Thank you!
My brother would have died if it wasn't for you.
You're a lifesaver.
I'm glad I found him early.
Stop crying...
Can I give you a riddle?
Absolutely!
Where do ghosts go to sail?
Where do ghosts go...
I think I get this.
Does it start with "Lake"?
- Yes. - Lake Boo!
No, the answer is Lake Eerie.
- Lake Eerie. - Yup.
Can you tell me your name?
I'm Kang Jae-yong.
I'm sorry, but my name is Wake-Up Call Six.
I'm not human. I'm an AI.
Right, I see.
Sorry, but you've been fooled.
- I am human. - Come on!
As per our regulations, please call me "Wake-Up Service."
Jeez.
Do you get a lot of rude patrons?
Yes, I do.
A guest requested a 6:30 call yesterday,
and when I called him,
he lashed out at me.
So I didn't call him this morning,
and he complained...
I hope those people would stop coming.
I think I'd be good at your job.
A male wake-up service sounds good.
You're kind, and you have a nice voice.
Maybe in my next life.
So sad.
His songs are getting more mature.
It's good.
He went through a lot.
His parents kicked him out
for dropping out of med school to sing,
his band got disbanded,
and he got into an accident after debuting solo.
You're crying again.
This song is really good.
Renew his contract already.
So many agencies are after him.
I don't know.
It feels like I'm keeping him in a small pond.
What are you talking about?
He only got this far because of you.
You sold your house
and worked part-time to support him.
I have to go somewhere. Could you come with me?
Why not?
I come here every year on this day.
I used to come with my wife until four years ago.
I proposed to her here.
Even after a big argument,
we'd come here, and everything would be okay.
She said to me once
that she wanted to marry me again in the next life.
I said I'd like that too.
Why didn't you tell me sooner?
I understand what you're saying.
I need some time to think.
You are assigned to the lower floors from tomorrow.
Someone else will clean the CEO's suite.
Ms. Baek Lee-young.
You came to work today?
Don't you have an audition?
Well...
Let's go. You still have time.
Please let me go.
No, I won't.
Wait a minute! Wait!
I can't audition in this outfit.
Looks like you're ready.
She's taking the rest of the day off!
I can't wait any longer
I've desperately waited For this moment
Shake off the fear I will go my way
Deep and dark past days
Even the high wall that blocked me
Don't scare me anymore
I won't stop I will fly away
Hold your breath and look at me
I'll show you my everything
The real me that was kept away
Run fast! Fly high!
I won't stop again
Ms. Baek Lee-young!
You were like a different person.
I'm sure you'll hear good news.
No, sir.
You've never seen an audition.
I've done it hundreds of times.
I know it right away when I don't get the part.
I just did my best.
Anyways,
thank you for bringing me here.
But...
Please don't worry about me anymore.
- Ms. Baek. - Please!
Stay there.
Sir...
I'm a contract worker.
I can get fired
for leaving my post.
Remember you asked me if I had any obsessions?
People like me can't have obsessions.
Because...
we cannot afford to.
Even or odd,
I can't just change it.
I just accept it and live with it.
Do you think she'll like it?
It's beautiful.
She's here.
This way.
Looks so good.
- Have a bite. - Sure.

Hello?
What...
is this?
I love you so much
You're my everything
I promise to always love you
I love you so much
Always stay by my side
I'll always be a light By your side
What's wrong? Don't you like it?
Thank you, sweetie.
Is this why you've been so down lately?
Yeah.
You've ruined my first kiss.
I can't wash the feeling away.
So wet and sticky.
You know how grateful I am, right?
Also...
When you find a girl you like,
don't hesitate. Otherwise...
Have you heard of slow mail?
It's this mailbox.
It's an ordinary mailbox here in Jumunjin.
But when you send a letter...
it will be delivered a year later.
Hey, was there any mail for me?
- Like a postcard? - I put it on your table.
It's really here. No way!
Don't look. Go away.
What did you write? Let me see.
Then show me yours too.
I'm not showing you. Check it next year.
- Show me! - No!

You keep asking me to save someone.
- Who's going to save me? - Please?
You want me to steal your postcard?
It's not stealing, more like recovering.
Please.
(MERGER REVIEW)
They're not going to absorb our current employees.
Shouldn't you let them handle it?
(TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OF CONTRACT WORKERS)
(REPLACED WITH CANDIDATES WITH INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE)
It's better to raise the price
by letting them decide on minor issues.
Please renegotiate
so that no one gets laid off.
Hey, man.
I called for you, but you didn't answer.
Did you?
I didn't hear you.
Is that a contract from Mist?
Are you spying on me?
I just noticed it. Sorry.
Let me ask you a question.
What's a good profit split with the management?
I'm just asking for your opinion.
Don't ever yield.
- Give them 5 percent. - Five percent?
Isn't that too little?
Tell them to forget it if they don't like it.
Get them to buy you a new ride.
Can I do that?
Of course you can.
You're not the same Lee Gang as before.
Play hardball!
Thanks, dude.
You can't look at this!
- Okay. - Don't look.
I won't.
Who's the hottest singer this year?
Of course, it's Lee Gang.
He's topped the music charts
with every new release since "Every Couple" last August.
There are rumors that he'll be joining Mist Entertainment.
Let's listen to "I Shouldn't Call,"
What is it?
which is topping the charts.
Got something to say?
Did you send him a contract?
Yes, I did. So?
Shouldn't you have given it to me
since I'm his manager?
He wanted it. Go ask him.
Gang...
hates variety shows.
So don't schedule too many of those.
And Gang...
gets sensitive when he's writing.
His songs have their own color,
so don't force him to write certain songs.
And Gang...
looks like a city boy
but has the taste buds of a kid.
If you tell him that it's good for him...
he'll refuse once,
but he'll eat it if you're persistent.
Please take good care of him.
Did you even love me?
You'll completely erase All our memories?
I must not be In your heart anymore
Please look at me
Please look back at me
What happened? Did you retrieve it?
"I wonder where we will be
when you read this."
Sae-jik!
Did I confess to you?
If I haven't done so
by the end of next year...
I told you to rip it up right away!
Sis, you're tearing up my heart!
You're so dead!
- So-jin. - What?
You'll meet someone better.
Love you.
What the heck?
Dang it...
Hello.
- Hello! - Can I help you with that?
No, it's all right.
Here, let me try.
It's not Saturday...
Sorry, it's just that I see you often...
Right,
I don't know what I'm doing every week.
Thank you so much.
A year went by so fast.
Take care.
Attention! Salute!
Loyalty!
- At ease. - What are you doing?
Sae-jik!
You're our only hope.
We're going to root for you!
Didn't you always?
Not swimming!
Ah-young!
- Just come clean. - About what?
- I'm already clean. - You like Ah-young.
What?
We already know!
So what?
What do you have to do with it?
We can't stand her dating some loser.
She's interested in you,
but since you don't show it...
She's getting tired of waiting.
So what, then?
So we told her on your behalf.
Told her what?
We told her that you wanted to meet with her.
What?
We hinted to her that you might...
Confess your love on the cloud bridge after school.
Yes!
I'm done with you all!
What should we tell her, then?
That you changed your mind?
I went back to that lake.
I had a long chat with your wife.
And she told me
that she's heard a lot about me...
and that she couldn't leave you
because you're such a kid.
So I proposed something to her.
That I'll raise you until the end
and turn you into an adult.
And that I'll send you back to her in the next life.
Then she answered.
- She did? - Yes.
Snow.
If it snows on New Year's Eve,
it means that she has accepted my proposal.
Look at this!
Your smile brings back your old self.
Okay.
If it doesn't snow,
then I'll shut up and leave you alone.
- Agree? - Agreed.
Why did you send Ms. Baek to another floor?
There are malignant rumors about you, sir.
Me?
Some employees witnessed her getting in your car.
Can't I give an employee a lift?
Even if you offered,
she should have refused.
I hear there is a gold digger among us.
Everyone says it's you.
Where there's smoke, there's fire.
Some people are calling you immoral.
I'm immoral?
Yes, I'm not only telling you as a VP
but also as your relative.
Be careful.
What if this puts the merger with East Chain at risk?
- Is that her? - Oh my...
Can't trust her looks.
If you have something to say,
stop whispering and say it to my face!
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Mom!
It's December 31st, the last day of the year.
How was this year for you?
It was filled with bittersweet moments
(SEUNG-HYO'S WEDDING)
and plenty of regrets,
but on the other hand,
it was a year that allowed you
to become stronger.
Whether you lacked the courage to confess your love,
you were mean to others in the heat of competition,
or you were burdened with responsibilities for your family,
pat yourself on the back
and tell yourself, "You did well today."
I hope you will be happier in the new year.
Let me introduce myself properly. I'm Lee Jin-ho.
(DEAR DAD)
(MERRY CHRISTMAS)
(I WANT TO BE)
(AN AWESOME HOTELIER LIKE YOU)
Oh, man.
Excuse me!
Could you help me?
No, push it. Wait, pull it!
I'm so sorry!
(THANK YOU. YOU ARE A HERO)
(THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY PRECIOUS BROTHER)
(YOU'RE OUR HERO! - PARK SO-JIN)
He's here. Sae-jik is here.
I might fall for him.
- Did he confess? - I'm not sure.
Sir. It's time to leave, sir.
Has East Chain accepted our request regarding the employees?
I asked them to keep even the contract workers...
but nothing yet.
Could you give this
to the wake-up service agent?
She'll know if you tell her
it's from room 1739's Kang Jae-yong.
Nice to see you.
It's been a while.
Hello.
Our next CEO.
Not yet!
Hello.
We'll soon begin the shareholders' meeting.
Please take your seats.
- Dude. - Huh?
Yeah...
I think
you should stop driving this car from today.
Oh...
Okay.
Sure.
Where are you going?
- I'm going home. - What about me, then?
Mist got you a new car?
What Mist?
Have a seat.
I signed it already.
Have a read and sign it.
You...
didn't sign with Mist?
Are you nuts?
Why would I work with a prick like Kim?
He has no interest in music and only cares about money.
Don't you remember how much he looked down on me?
That can't compare to the little injury
that fake singer is enduring!
You can insult me all you want, but not him!
- Are you a gangster or what? - Don't say that word!
I still can't forget how he insulted me
while I was down.
A simple apology could have gone a long way.
Why didn't you tell me?
You suck at hiding your feelings.
That snake Kim would have clued in.
Now, it's all up to you,
or I'll get buried.
If you get buried,
I'll dig you back up.
Don't be gross. No touching!
We'll be late. Let's go!
Okay.
You said 5 percent is good, right?
That was with... Mist...
You told me to play hardball.
Okay! As long as I'm with you.
I increased it a bit.
Please welcome the bride!
You have to walk me when I get married.
No doubt.
Someone was clenching onto you before.
I don't see her anymore,
so I guess she let you go.
Now that you met someone nice,
she must be in a better place.
The groom, Son Seung-hyo, and the bride, Kim Young-joo,
are here today to exchange their vows
and to promise to respect each other
no matter what difficult situations may arise
and to get through together with love and wisdom.
You are here to witness
their covenant to establish the marriage.
Do you, Son Seung-hyo and Kim Young-joo, take to be
a lawful couple, to have and to hold,
from this day forward,
for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health,
until death do you part?
- I do! - I do!
The two have united as husband and wife
in front of their families and friends
and promise to cherish each other until death do them part.
I don't know since when
But I've kept you in my heart
Goodbye, other loves
I will only love you
From today
When you came to me
I was awkward About my own feelings
If I revealed my feelings
I was afraid you might run away
Can you accept my love?
If you don't like me
I may be hurt
But should I still confess to you?
I don't know since when
You crept into my heart
But there's another farewell
(WINTER BREAK)
That is all!
Go on. What did you want to tell me?
I was warming up at the pool
when these guys came by.
- They saluted me. - That idiot.
So what did you want to tell me?
I like you.
Like who?
Lim Ah-young.
I barely heard you.
I like you, Lim Ah-young!
Go out with me!
- Yes! - Yeah!
Status check on the 1739 guest.
All good, we're cleaning his room.
He's currently out for a bit.
Check if he left a suicide note.
We just have to get through today,
so stay on your toes.
Check the trash can.
The trash can is clear.
Okay, I think our plan worked.
Yes, having him win the Christmas contest
and save someone at the pool must have worked.
Good job, everyone.
Don't let your guard down until he checks out.
Security office.
What?
Okay, understood.
I'll let her know right away.
Yes, got it!
Please give a big round of applause
to the newlyweds when they bow!
Bride and groom! Bow!
No wonder good things kept happening to me!
This is from the guest in room 1739.
There's a card too.
Send the security to the rooftop before anything bad happens.
He took the elevator and headed to the rooftop from the 25th floor.
Dammit...
Hello?
Hello, do you remember my voice?
Yes...
You're the wake-up call service.
Yes, I got your gift.
I called to thank you for it.
I just passed on a gift I received.
No need to thank me.
But I've never received such a gift.
Well, you woke me up every day.
That's just my job, though.
- Oh my! - Don't come close!
Don't come any closer!
Leave me alone...
I have to hang up now.
You don't have to wake me up anymore.
Wait, wait a sec!
Can you talk to me for a bit?
No, thank you.
I have nothing else to say.
When I check out tomorrow,
I have nothing
and nowhere to go.
This is where my life ends.
Could you listen to me for a moment?
I listened to you.
Will you do the same for me?
Whenever you called,
I wondered who you were.
To be honest,
I was going to jump off the ledge today too.
Every day is the same,
and I have no one to comfort me.
Next year would be the same,
so I thought I'd rather not see 2022.
Then I ran into someone who was thinking the same thing.
I was really happy on the phone with you.
I was thankful for the gift,
and it made my day.
So I thought that I would do anything to help you.
Today,
- I will jump off with you. - What?
I'll hold your hand on the way to hell.
I'll jump off with you.
- We can go together. - Wait! Hold on!
Don't do it. Please don't jump.
Why not?
What if people sleep in tomorrow
because you can't call them?
That's fine.
The person I wanted to wake up
said he didn't need me anymore.
- Let's go. - Wait.
Just wake me up tomorrow at 9:30.
Why the change of heart?
I just want to hear the wake-up call.
Thank you.
I should be the one to thank you.
My legs are shaking.
Mine too.
Wait, wait.
Careful, careful.
I almost really died.
I was worried you might really want to jump off with me.
I'm afraid of heights.
Same here!
Next up is the opening speech from the CEO of Hotel Emross.
Hello,
I'm the CEO of Hotel Emross, Kim Yong-jin.
My boiler at home burst recently.
I had to stay at our hotel suite
with an employee discount,
and I had to stay a whole month
to get extended stay rates.
Living in the hotel,
I started seeing things differently.
And I started feeling something
that I had never felt towards this hotel before.
And I found something
my father had put away in the safe.
Apparently, my childhood dream was to become a hotelier.
This is the way I want to follow my dream
alongside all employees at Hotel Emross.
I will protect Hotel Emross
and protect the employees who protect Hotel Emross.
I will nullify the merger with East Chain.
You'll go down for this!
Hotel Emross...
doesn't only belong to you and me.
It belongs to all our employees
and our guests.
Thank you.
Hey! Kim Yong-jin!
(ODD FLOORS ONLY)
Hello.
- Is that the CEO? - He's gorgeous.
Hello.
I came back to celebrate the New Year with you.
Can we talk outside for a moment?
People are calling me
a gold digger.
They're calling me immoral.
Gold digger and immoral aren't a bad combo.
You're right.
It's a fantastic combo.
Even.
So-jin!
Why are you here?
The bride didn't run off, did she?
No, I was worried about you.
Young-joo was worried and told me to check up on you.
Why?
You ran off during our wedding.
Did you think I would jump?
No... I was just worried.
- Seung-hyo. - So-jin.
- You first. - No, you first.
I'll be honest with you while we're in the elevator.
Only until the elevator stops.
Okay.
I used to like you.
I meant to tell you many times...
but I must have overthought it.
"Why should I be the one to tell him?"
"Wouldn't he tell me first one day?"
These thoughts made me
lose courage.
But now, I get it.
I was selfish
and dishonest.
I was also selfish and dishonest.
But I don't think the fact that we didn't express our feelings
made us unfortunate.
I was happy
to be by your side for 15 years as your friend.
So-jin.
I want you to congratulate me.
Will you?
Congrats on getting married.
It's the truth.
You'll be happy.
Thanks.
You'll be happy too.
So-jin, you're still alive.
Did you run off because you got jealous?
So-jin, doesn't it feel like our son is getting married?
Let's follow them on their honeymoon.
Let's see how their first night goes.
Aren't you Sae-jik?
What are you doing?
Sae-jik! I didn't see that, all right?
- Okay. - One man...
- to another. - To another.
I was overjoyed
To chitchat with you On the phone
About this and that
Every day
Talking about Where to eat
Which movies to watch
Thinking we just might
Date like everyone else
I plucked up my courage to confess
It turned out I was mistaken
It was a crush
I was sure it was love
By the way you looked at me
But I was just a good friend
A word I despise
Just a really good guy friend
Friendzoned, nothing more
Ten! Nine!
Eight! Seven! Six!
Five! Four! Three!
Two!
One!
Sorry, sorry.
Oh, hello.
Hello.
Let me introduce myself properly. I'm Lee Jin-ho.
Do you know why I had so many blind dates here?
So-jin.
Will you go on a blind date with me?
(Directed by Kwak Jae-yong)
I love you, Mom.
I'll be here a bit more.
- Enjoy your honeymoon. - Okay.
How can you say "I love you" all day?
You said it over 30 times today!
Is it a new obsession?
Or do you have dementia?
Yes, I have dementia!
My cognitive function for love is broken.
You're the only one who can fix it.
Only you!
How about a kiss here?
It's not in the script.
Hello! Good morning, wake-up service.
How was your sleep?
It was great.
I feel really great.
You don't sound it.
You fell asleep on the desk again, didn't you?
You promised me not to do that again...
No, I keep my promises.
You're wiping your drool.
And a Post-it is still on your left cheek.
Not there.
Over your left shoulder.
What do you see?
I see a very beautiful morning.
So-jin,
I recently got an offer from a famous hospital.
At the time, I was in the elevator heading to the basement.
Do you know what I did?
I declined the offer.
Because it was a "base" payment.
Now, I get it.
I knew you'd get my jokes.
No, I see why you got rejected over and over again.
