EPISODE 1
-> tae-young hides from her landlady because she cant pay the rent.
-> so tae-young arrives at the restaurant where she works but she’s 5 minutes late so her boss wouldn’t let her in saying she’s fired. But tae-young is not very good in French so she has no idea she’s been fired! She takes out her dictionary, she’s like, “what are you saying?” (browses the dictionary….) “man, I’m fired!”
-> she goes back to the fountain where she threw a coin and made a wish. She talks to the fountain, “don’t you understand Korean? I said win the lottery, not get fired.” (dips into the fountain and gets the coin back) “I’m taking this back” (but changes her mind) “if you can’t give me the lottery, find me a rich man.” (throws the coin back to the fountain)
-> she delivers a sentence in her French class and her classmates applauds her, it was so cute when she was giving them a peace sign after. Hehe.
-> she hears the lady who collects her tuition fee needs a Korean maid, she badly needs a job so she snatches the paper where the lady wrote the number who to call and just runs away. Hehe.
-> tae-young goes to the house and the assistant was giving her a tour of the house but she’s curious at things so she takes different remotes and just starts pressing buttons not knowing what they’re for. She ends up opening the curtains, turning on the speakers loud etc. very funny.
-> tae-young’s landlady knocks on her door bugging her about her overdue rent. She pretends that she isn’t in and puts tissue on her ears. When the knocks stop, she said, “I think she said something about the rent. I never heard this, even if I did, I didn’t understand.” Hehe.
-> tae-young works as a maid but she takes advantage of the house! Hehe.
-> tae-young usually leaves post-its everywhere in the house, when ki-joo went home once, he drinks juice but tae-young leaves note saying that don’t drink it because it expired yesterday but she’s not supposed to move anything so she just left it there. He sees her note and spits the juice out.
-> tae-young gets thrown out of her apartment and she doesn’t even have clothes with her so she borrows from her friend yang-mi but all she has are short skirts! So tae-young had no choice but to wear a short skirt even if it’s uncomfortable.
-> tae-young sips ki-joo’s leftover wine and she likes the taste so she drinks the whole thing. Haha.
-> their first meeting happened (they actually don’t know that ki-joo is her boss and tae-young is his maid) when ki-joo’s car runs over tae-young’s friend yang-mi’s cigarette business. She confronts him about it (he didn’t actually do it but the DOM who thought tae-young was a prostitute, thanks to her short skirt. Hehe) and asks him to pay for it. ki-joo tells her she’ll pay half since she’s at fauilt too because it’s illegal to sell on the street. But he has no cash with him (he gave everything to the bartender) so he tells her to drive for him (he’s drunk too) and he’ll get money at home.
-> so she drives him and he tells her where he lives, she has to get her recorder that she left under the table in ki-joo’s house so she tells him that his house is near the place she has to make a stop to. So she pulls over at ki-joo’s house, ki-joo is bewildered about what’s going on. Tae-young enters the house, gets her recorder and writes a note for ki-joo when ki-joo opens the light, this time it’s tae-young who’s bewildered. She was like, “what are you doing? This isn’t your house. Why did you come in?” he asks her why she has keys and she tells him that she lives in that house. He then figures it that she’s his maid because of the note. He goes on, “are you color blind? Blue and white shirts are all mixed. And you should leave my movies and remote in the right place. And those flowers are not my type. Cheap coffee and laced curtains. Do you think I’m a princess? You shouldn’t try to change my lifestyle. What do you think? I’ll make it easy, you’re fired.” So tae-young realizes the situation… ki-joo gives her money and she leaves.
-> tae-young forgets her bag in ki-joo’s house, it’s so funny because throughout the entire series, she would always forget her bag. Hehe.
-> in her French class, she was asked by the teacher to describe a person using adjectives. She thinks of ki-joo. “He wears glasses, he’s Asian…hates flowers, hates…laced curtains, hates me. He’s impolite, (stands up) he’s bad and I don’t like him!
-> she goes back to the fountain and wishes for one last time “I want my job back, doesn’t matter what it is, I don’t care if it’s that stupid man’s house” and when she opened her eyes, ki-joo was near her! She was shocked, hehe. She was like, “oh darn, I should’ve said something else. Are you stalking me?” Tsk tsk.
-> so they talk about business at a restaurant. Ki-joo tells her that he doesn’t like that place, she replies, “neither do I.” but she suggested that place because that where she used to work and she wants to get back at his old boss. Hehe.
-> they decide on what tae-young’s gonna wear and it looks good but tae-young doesn’t like it because it exposes too much of her upper body
tae-young: I don’t like it.
ki-joo: it’s okay. I like it. (Now what can you do about that tae-young? Nothing!)
-> they were sitting on his limo and tae-young has her bag in front of her to cover her chest because it’s too exposed. Ki-joo snatches it and says, “nobody’s gonna steal it.” tae-young replies with, “the dress is too gaudy” and covers her body. Hehe.
Cute conversation:
ki-joo: “this is an important business. I would’ve bought you a house for payment.”
tae-young: “why didn’t you tell me so? I could’ve asked right away.”
-> tae-young was checking out the limo and she’s giddy that it has its own TV, bar, fridge. She offers the driver soda; ki-joo tells her that it’s sound proof so the driver won’t hear her. Tae-young was like, “I know, sound proof, I was just testing if it was…” hehe, palusot!
-> Cute conversation while they were dancing.
Ki-joo: breathe. I don’t want you to faint. (then he slides his hand to her lower back.)
Tae-young: stop joking.
Ki-joo: I’m not joking. I’m dancing.
Quotable quotes from tae-young:
“it’s not a math problem, why is this giving me trouble?”
“why is this so expensive? Is there gold in this?”
EPISODE 2
-> tae-young feels a little cold so ki-joo takes his jacket off and pouts it around her shoulders.
-> tae-young arrives at yang-mi’s house but she’s not there yet. She was singing to numb herself from the coldness when ki-joo arrives (that’s quite embarrassing) to give her her bag that she left in his limo. He tells her that she needs to come home with him. She’s like “pardon??” but it’s actually because he needs to give her her wage. But I think he realizes that it’s cold and she can’t stay out of a house for long.
-> it turns out to be ki-joo’s birthday and his ex-wife gives her a cake telling him to eat it with someone. So he asks tae-young to stay. She was eating a lot and he just looks on. Tae-young was like, “I was so hungry. I didn’t have enough there because I was so nervous.” But ki-joo just continues to look at her. “Oh I forgot…you should’ve told me…” and then she started singing “happy birthday!” so cute. Ki-joo smiled.
Ki-joo: will you stay?
Tae-young: huh?
Ki-joo: why do you always make me ask again?
Tae-young: so how many girls had cake and slept at your house?
Ki-joo: You’re the first one. Other girls didn’t enjoy the cake as much.
Tae-young: Do you have a crush on me?
Ki-joo: Do you have a mirror at home?
Tae-young: Yes.
Ki-joo: Don’t you look at the mirror?
-> ki-joo told her that she can stay just don’t make any noise because he’’ll be working. But while he’s working, she tries to be quiet but she’s obviously making noises. Hehe.
Tae-young: why did you take me to the dinner earlier?
Ki-joo: I don’t want to buy flowers. I hate flowers. (hehe.)
And then she was asking him a lot. He says, “Can I continue working?” hehe.
-> in the morning, ki-joo wakes up first, he’s dressed up already and tae-yopung wakes up, when she sees him, she pretends to be asleep.
Ki-joo: it’s okay. Pretend you were sleeping and say, “Oh you’re up so early.”
Tae-young: (waking up) oh you’re up so early. (wahahaha!)
-> she forgot her bag again so she goes to her French class wearing a gown. Hehe. She takes a book to cover her “front”.
-> ki-joo sees a picture of his feet taken by tae-young, “you probably don’t have a photo of your own feet. Thanks for letting me stay, tae-young.”
-> Soo-hyuk helps tae-young when she was selling her dress but she’s being swindled. Soo-hyuk asks tae-young to write her address and phone number because the store will need it after they sold the dress. Wushu. If I know, it’s for his own sake. Haha.
-> Soo-hyuk takes tae-young home. The scene where he placed a helmet on her head was so funny! She was trying to take it off but it wouldn’t come off. Basta it was so funny. When they arrive at her home, she was dizzy when she got off his bike. Haha. He insists that he must come up because he’s thirsty. Man, he’s persistent!
Tae-young: How did you know my house?
Soo-hyuk: You told me remember?
Tae-young: What? When?
Soo-hyuk: Don’t you have memories? I think I deserve a cup of coffee.
Tae-young: Wait, where are you going?
Soo-hyuk: Motorcycles make me thirsty. You’d never understand.
Tae-young: Well it’s late.
Soo-hyuk: So what?
Tae-young: Well room is dirty.
Soo-hyuk: Don’t worry, mine’s worse. What floor?
Inside the house, tae-young lights candles.
Soo-hyuk: Are you trying to be romantic? What about being late and all that huh? These girls…
Tae-young: No..nice try but the power has gone off.
Soo-hyuk: Did you call for service?
Tae-young: I hate phone calls. I don’t understand a thing.
Soo-hyuk: What about fuse box?
Tae-young: I don’t know a thing.
Soo-hyuk: Really? Darkness is fine with me.
Soo-hyuk then takes off his suit and tae-young get scared and leads him to the fuse box. Hehe. Soo-hyuk just flicks something and it’s fixed! He then asks where he could wash his hand and because of that, he finds out that tae-young’s sink is broken as well so he fixes it for her too.
Soo-hyuk: this is why everyone needs a man.
Tae-young makes him a coffee and he catches her tasting the coffee.
Soo-hyuk: hey! Did you dip that spoon in my coffee? (drinks the coffee) it’s okay, I’m not allergic. Very tasty. (cute!!!)
-> ki-joo and tae-young talk about business again when tae-young his froth on the top of her lips. “Yes, it’s business. Why don’t you wipe your lips?” tae-young says what if she rejects it. ki-joo leaves her. Tae-young: “man, I was going to leave first!” hehe.

“Oh my god. I’m such an idiot. I was thinking ‘I don’t need tip’ why did I say ‘give me another’. How did ‘I’m not coming tomorrow’ become ‘will you pick me up’? I’m so stupid!” – tae-young
Funny conversations:
ki-joo: I’ve got something to say to you. Why don’t we go someplace else?
Tae-young: What’s wrong with my house? Lights work and water drains alright.
Ki-joo: Isn’t that what a house should be like? (wahaha!!!)
Soo-hyuk: he taught me how to study and how to fight, how to hit on girls. He made ma real man. You know? Hitting on girls and losing virginity before 20.
Tae-young: so did you?
Soo-hyuk: you shouldn’t be asking that. (weherher.)
Tae-young: are you embarrassed?
EPISODE 3
-> ki-joo punches the French guy who was harassing tae-young, the same guy who mistook her for a prostitute on the first episode.
-> tae-young is hurt that ki-joo doesn’t believe her so she gets off his car and walks alone. Ki-joo meets seung-kyung (his ex-wife) and Soo-hyuk at a restaurant in nice. Soo-hyuk was so worried about why he did not come back with tae-young. “Uncle, what have you done to her?” aah.. He leaves to look for her.
Tae-young goes to the train station. She takes a picture of her feet. (She loves taking pics of people’s feet!) Then Soo-hyuk arrives, seeing that she’s cold, he takes off his suit to put on her. Ahh. He even takes off her shoes because he knows she walked far.
Soo-hyuk: are you hungry?
Tae-young: I had forgotten but now you reminded me, I’m so hungry, buy me something.

(I love how Soo-hyuk looks ate tae-young. Waah!! I love him!!)
Soo-hyuk comes back with more food at tae-young’s house.

-> ki-joo was packing up when he sees the post its tae-young left for him, he makes up his mind and goes to tae-young’s place.
-> gawd! Tae-young! How can you have left your luggage in the plane? Good thing ki-joo found it!
-> ki-joo told tae-young that he wants to talk to her so they should meet near the city hall at 2pm. Tae-young has no plans of going but she ends up going anyways, probably just to spy on him. unfortunately, there’s this little girl who lost her mom and she’s mistaken to be the girl’s mom so when the girl ran, she runs after her, leading her to ki-joo. (she totally blew her cover.) now that he’s seen her, she cant back out anymore.
