So we finally meet.
They say you meet your enemy in the thorniest spots.
So you're the slippery fish they've been talking about.
The slippery fish?
I may not belong to the most estemeed clan. But I've roamed this vast wilderness for some ten years now.
I'll expose the folly of your esteemed clan for all the world to see!
Insolent fool.
You think a clan's reputation is built overnight?
You know a few tricks of the trade, so you believer you've nothing to fear?
I'll show you the true might of our esteemed clan.
I will not let any of you live.
Your sword is only fit for hunting dogs.
My lady. How can you assist such a scoundrel?
I do as I please.
You wench!
How can you turn your sword against me?
I do as I please.
The mournful sound of your flute under the moonlight drapes this world in darkness.
I drink alone, and I forget all worldly concerns.
Thinking of you makes the dew drops roll down my cheeks.
I do as I please.
As I please...As I please..
What do you want to drink?
I'll have the same.
And you call yourself a man?
What did I do?
You just leave like that and don't even call?
I've been busy.
Doing what?
You haven't even officially started work yet.
What do you want? I'm rather busy.
Did I upset you?
About what?
You're good-looking, smart, and capable.
But you do have a chip on your shoulder.
Why is that?
Is that how you see me?
What was so upsetting?
Was it because I didn't let you join the conversation?
Or because I asked you to drive me home? or both?
No.
Then what?
Put yourself in my shoes.
Were you jealous then?
Why should I be? There's nothing between us.
There isn't?
You're well aware of that.
What's this Kang Ho like?
Why do you ask?
He's been hired.
I know.
I have some info.
What is it?
Can you keep a secret?
Don't tell me if you can't trust me.
He was hired at the top of his class.
Who was?
Kang Ho.
Was he always like that?
You know the type. The eccentric genius.
It isn't easy to get perfect score on the written exam.
A perfect score?
So this was a system error?
Well, we can't say so for sure...
Are you actually listening to what you're saying?
I'm sorry, sir.
Why are you blaming it on the machines?
Are you the type who can't admit your own failings?
No, I'm not.
So why do you blame the machines?
You want to pin the blame on me, don't you?
Not at all, sir.
Don't deny it!
Why aren't you looking at the root cause?
This loser should've never taken the exam in the first place!
Right...
If you had reported this to me sooner,
I could've nixed him during the interview process.
We never imagined, after doing so poorly on the exam. He'd actually have the gall to show up for the interview.
But his group gave an excellent presentation. And in the English interview, he recieved the highest score for his problem-solving skills.
And in the final personality phase of the interview, you showed such fondness for him that...
There is no way can let such bum, set foot in our world-class corporation.
We pride ourselves on being the cream of the crop.
A zero score turned into a perfect score!
Before this grows into a bigger problem, do whatever it takes to can him.
Sir, the thing to do now is to keep him quiet.
-If he should make a stink about it... -And what would give him the right to do that?
After completely flunking the written exam, he had the gall to show up for the interview.
If we rub him the wrong way, and he decides to go public...
KANG HO NEWLY HIRED AT LK
You must be thrilled.
I've heard their exam is tougher than the bar.
Honey, aren't you going to pour me a glass?
You have to fill it to the brim.
Cheers!
If you get hired by LK, then I'll be the chairman of LK!
My son.
What are you doing out here?
Is it too noisy in there?
No, dad...
But you're the man of the evening.
Is something on your mind?
No...
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Dad.
Come back inside.
We should have a drink together.
Dad.
I was just wondering...
by any chance... Did anyone from LK..
Did anyone from LK what?
Nothing. Go on ahead dad.
You're so silly.
Come back inside.
Can I help you sir?
I'm one of the new hires.
Yes, and?
Could I see the director of personnel?
In regards to what?
I just had some questions.
Do you have an appointment?
No.
That would be rather difficult.
But I must see him.
Oh, hi.
Hello.
What brings you here?
I thought orientation was tomorrow.
You've gotten even more beautiful.
Thank you.
Bong-sam's well, I presume?
I guess so.
Did you guys fight?
There's nothing between Bong-sam and me.
Please don't think there is.
All you do is apologize! Apologizing won't solve anything!
You're at the bottom of the totem pole here.
Are you doing your work or not?
Are you just trying to fill up the hours?
How can you have such an attitude! You think this company is a joke?
You'd better wake up and smell the coffee!
We're supposed to be professionals here...
Sir.
Hyun-ah..
Say hello. This is Director Koo.
You're familiar with Mr. Kang Ho, sir?
How do you do, sir?
My name is Kang Ho.
Well, Hello.
What's this about?
He'd like to talk to you about something.
I'll let you two talk. Excuse me.
Congratulations.
Mi-ok.
Show this gentleman to the conference room.
Can you wait for me there?
I'll be right in.
You must be one of the new hires.
Congratulations.
Sir, we have a situation. That punk is here.
I'll see you now. Thank you sir.
Sit down.
What do you mean you think something went wrong?
Mr. Koo. Were there some problems in the hiring process?
No, not at all, sir.
He says there were no problems at all.
But I just don't understand what happened in my case.
You've been hired, so which part do you not understand?
The application screening, the written exam,the interview... There were just something about the whole process...
Listen here.
We aren't some fly-by-the-night operation.
This is a world class corporation,which prides itself on hiring only the very elite.
All the more reason why this makes no sense.
With my education and written exam performance, there's no way I should've been hired.
Maybe there's a problem with the scoring system? Have you checked?
Who the heck are you to question our system?
We selected you because you're qualified. What do you takes us for?
Pardon?
Why do you think we practice the blind interview system?
We didn't want any bias preventing us, from hiring a prodigy like you.
Then why is there a written exam?
Quiet!
You aren't qualified to second-guess us.
You think our hiring system is some kind of a joke?
No, I don't.
We aren't fools.
Only the sharpest and the brightest work here.
We have our reasons for selecting you.
Do you have to little faith in your own abilities?
No, sir.
Does one's education say everything about that person?
No, sir.
Does a high TOEIC score mean everything?
No, sir!
Then don't say a thing more. Just accept it.
You could be that very prodigy, who'll lead us in the 21st century.
Thank you, sir!
I have my shortcomings, but I will dedicate myself to LK!
So that's the dude.
The perfect score? Jang Dong-geun?
What are you looking at?
Get back to work!
Haven't we met before?
I'm not sure...
I should get going.
Let me iriterate this, there's nothing wrong with our hiring system.
So throw out your suspicions.
I'll see you again.
Thank you, sir, Goodbye.
Goodbye.
If this problem is discovered, those who oppose me will feel emboldened.
How?
I know.
It seemed as if he were just slacking around the house, but he was looking out for his future the whole time.
Well, he's always had that piercing gaze.
It's just that he was so into sports, he missed out on his studies.
No, he's not that special.
He's just a regular joe.
Come on now... You can't call him a genius.
But he's had the ability all along.
He couldn't have done it by effort alone. I've heard sons inherit their mother's brain.
Yes...Okay...I'll take you out.
Thanks.
Where did you hear that?
Hear what?
That sons inherit their mother's brain?
On TV
Who said that on TV?
Some psychologist or psychiatrist... They said that.
You believe everything you hear on TV?
-They wouldn't go on TV, and say something untrue. -Not everything they say on TV is true!
You reap what you saw.
Why are you getting all excited?
I wasn't going to bring this up.
But they used to call me boy genius!
All the real boy geniuses in that village must've died.
What!
If you're so smart, how did you manage to blow your pension in one fell swoop?
Still, I was never last in my class!
Fine, I was last in my class. But whose fault was that?
Whenever I'd try to study, you'd come by and make weird animal noises to get me to hang out with you.
Are you guys for real?
Can we actually be having this conversation?
I don't know about other people, but we all know this clown's true nature.
How long are you going to ignore the truth?
Don't you see the emperor has no clothes?
He may fool others, but not me.
Even though I've seen the announcement of the new hires, I still can't accept that he's been hired by LK!
This is a matter of principle!
If Kang Ho's really been hire by LK, then on principle, I'll leave the country and move somewhere else.
Just get into college this year.
It doesn't have to be Seoul National University. Just get accepted to a school. Got that?
Don't be too hard on him.
He's still immature. That's all.
Dad, do you have 10 dollars?
Why?
Sung-tae really helped me out during the application process.
So I'd like to get him some spicy rice cakes.
Dear.
Will 10 dollars enough?
This is nothing, bud.
Once I got paid, I'll take you to a bar with hot hostesses and buy you drinks till you're out.
Thanks.
Come on, don't thank me. It's nothing compared to all you've done for me.
And if it weren't for what you told me, I would've made a real fool of myself during the interview.
What was it I said to you?
Just this and that...
Because you bought me some food, I made an effort to hold myself back. But...
Now you're bragging about yourself?
Since you made it through the interview, there isn't much I can say. But has LK gone nuts?
I tried hard to understand the written exam part.
The machine could've made an error or something. But the interview...
You must've done well to get the job.
Anyway, congratulations.
It would've been nice if you'd been hired too.
Anyway, Bong-sam must be losing it about now.
Bong-sam...
WELCOME NEW HIRES
Sorry...
Excuse me.
Wait..
Hold the elevator!
Are you okay?
Yes...
You really ran into it.
I guess we'll run into each other often.
Where's the amphitheater?
On the 25th floor.
See you later.
When did she start working on him?
When he came by yesterday, she played dumb.
She's such a phony.
Mi-ok isn't what she seems.
She's the type you have to watch out for.
She dated a guy in the LK prodigy program too.
What do you mean?
Lee Mi-ok!
I think I was wrong about you.
You're the quiet scheming type, aren't you?
I'm sorry?
I made it clear you weren't to approach him.
I'm sorry?
You don't remember?
Remember what?
You'd better watch out for yourself!
And what brings you here, Mr. Chairman?
How in the world did you manage this?
What do you mean?
For a loser like you...
Never mind.
What about a loser like me?
Finish your thought.
I don't know what you did to get hired, but I doubt you'll last.
Don't worry about me.
Just worry about yourself.
I don't know how long we'll be working together.
But I'll pretend I don't know you. I advise you to do the same.
I should be telling you that.
Hi.
Hey.
You made it. I made it too, thanks to you. Thank you so much.
Don't mention it. I should be thanking you.
No, you gave me the courage to perform that day.
As a show of gratitude, I'd like to take you out for a drink.
But you really don't need to...
We'll talk later.
You must all know me by now. It's a pleasure to see all of you again.
You made it through the toughest hiring process ever. I'd like to extend to you a most sincere welcome.
You made it through the hiring process. But in order to become a member of the LK family,
there's one more hurdle you have to clear.
Like previous new hires, you'll all go through our notorious training program.
You really need to pay attention to what I say.
And he's the Won Bin look-alike?
You called?
So this is what he said. He'd like to take you to Japan.
He'll put you up, and provide food and training. And he'll give you a signing fee as well.
Right?
If I were a bit younger and slimmer, I wouldn't send you.
I'd be out my mind. I'd go myself.
But this is a great opportunity for you. And it's not like you're doing anything. You're just a slacker.
I'm sorry.
But as I told you before, I just want a regular life.
And besides, I'm not sitting around. I found a job.
Look here, Kang Ho.
This is different from those pyramid schemes.
If you work hard, you can make a huge amount of money and became a star.
You know that famous fighter who looks like this? You can become a star like him.
I'm sorry, but I'm not working a pyramid scheme. I'm working for LK.
The one that hired Bong-sam for the prodigy program?
Yes.
The world-famous corporation?
Yupe.
Maybe he hasn't fully recovered from the last match. Give me a few days to convince him.
I'm sorry.
But you should lose weight, and go to Japan.
I start training tomorrow.
I must be going now.
He rejected our offer.
Why?
He's found himself a job.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
We're always running into each other.
It seems that way...
Excuse me.
Did you get a bump on your forehead?
I'll let you go.
Wait.
I'd like to talk to you about something.
First of all...I wanted to congratulate you on getting hired.
Thank you.
Since I have to work at the stupid training, we'll see each other everday. So I wanted to tell you this.
When we run into each other at work, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't be so friendly.
Well, that's a strange way to put it.
I wasn't being that friendly. You were too.
You're always talking to me in front of others.
And you told Bong-sam we go way back. People might misunderstand.
Okay.
We'll just act like we don't know each other. Satisfied?
One more thing.
You've seen sides of me I didn't want to show anyone, so there's really nothing for me to be embarrassed about.
But regarding the incidents at Han River or with Bong-sam, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't yap about them at work.
What?
Please,
-How much is the tab? -Ten dollars.
Yap about them?
Come on, what do you take me for?
Oh, my goodness...
Hey!
You!
Hey!
Bong-sam's booty call!
What did I ever do to deserve that from you?
I thought I just told you.
Don't bring up Bong-sam.
If you spread any rumors, I'll kill myself.
-Mom! Please give it to me. -No, It's ok! I'll carry this luggage to the buststop for you
-Mom I'm really ok. Give me please! -Alright! Then, have a great training! See you my son.. -Yeah mom! see you soon..
Sung-tae!
What's up!?
Going to training?
You're going to do some tutoring?
Yeah! You training?
Yep!
Man! You look like a worker already!
Really? hehe
Go! It might be late.
Alright! see you

Man..that company So what if she's the big wig's daughter?
Training is not an amusement park.
What? what the hell do you mean? Are you kidding me?Is she princess of LK ? Damn it!!
What the fuck....
That's the problem with people who have strings pulled.
Right?
Am I wrong?
Yes?
This car is turtle? Step on it!!!
-Heo Seung-jae -yes
Lee Bong-sam.
Kang Ho.
-Where is Kang-ho? -Is Kang-ho our team too?
