You're working late.
What has you working so hard?
Going over the department's expense budget...
What brings you here, sir?
I was just passing by and saw the light on.
I see...
Have you had dinner?
No, not yet...
Neither have I. Want to get something to eat?
- With you, sir? - Sure, why not?
Join me, unless you already have plans.
- I don't have any plans, but... - What kind of food you like?
I'm not particularly picky...
Finish up, and I'll see you by the elevator.
- Off for the day, sir? - Yes. You're still working?
- Yes. - Take care.
Are you going home now?
- Yes... - I'm almost done.
- Wait for me. - Well...
- How are you, sir? - Hi.
Mi-ok, let's go.
What's going on?
How on earth should I know!
- Where do you think you're going? - What about you?
Get out.
Because I'm a temp, I never get to attend the meetings.
So even when I have an idea, I don't tell anyone
because I feel as if I'm overstepping my bounds.
And temps end up hanging out with other temps,
so I wouldn't even know who to talk to.
But don't you hang out with people in your department?
You go out together after work, don't you?
When I join them, I end up
pouring drinks or dancing.
Oh, my...
If I refuse, they give me a hard time at work.
Who gives you a hard time?
No, I mean that's just how it is...
You've decided to leave at the end of your term?
Yes, sir...
Even I can't do anything about the status of temps...
What will you do after you quit?
I'm not sure.
What's your relationship with that Ho Kang fellow?
I'm sorry?
He really helped you out during your demonstrations.
I asked him why he got involved.
He said he felt bad for me.
You live alone, right?
Yes...
- Me too. - Pardon?
My kids wanted to stay in New York,
so I came back alone.
Oh, I see...
People refer to me as a
more of a charismatic or a workaholic.
But I think of myself as a
sort of a lonely hyena.
What does ''charisma'' mean?
How would you translate it into Korean?
Charisma...
We'll talk about extending your term again.
Here.
What are we doing here?
Aren't we overreacting a bit?
What's your deal with Mi-ok anyway?
I should ask you the same thing.
You like her or something?
I thought it was over between you and Mi-ok.
That's none of your business.
Are you trying to play two girls?
What was that, you punk?
Because you're stringing them along,
they naturally get confused.
And what about you?
Is it your goal to follow me around and hit on my girls?
What was that?
I know you have an inferiority complex
when it comes to me.
You want to do everything I do, and have everything I have?
What?
Is that why you followed me to LK,
and why you're trying to hit on Mi-ok and Hyun-ah?
Why, you jerk...
One sec.
This car is my only asset.
If you want to fight, we'll take it outside.
Come on!
Have you forgotten? This is Ho Kang you're looking at.
Well, I'm here.
I'll let you have the first swing.
I had a great time.
Thank you for dinner.
What do you say we go for a drink?
No, thank you.
It was so nice to be with someone I could talk to.
But your brusque rejection is rather embarrassing.
I'm sorry, sir. But I really can't drink.
Did she just say she can't drink?
I live right around the corner.
You want to come in for some coffee?
I'm sorry?
Get in.
- Let's go - Sir...
Let's go.
It's okay. Get in.
- It's okay. - But, sir...
Ms. Mi-ok Lee.
Sir.
What brings you here?
I had a dinner date in the area.
Oh, I see.
Well, we'll take a raincheck on the coffee.
I had a great time. See you at work.
Yes, good night.
- Good night, sir. - Take care.
What's going on?
Hey, Bong-sam! My Blazer!
Okay.
But this guy's been staring at me forever.
I think he's some kind of a weirdo.
I'm so scared.
I'd better go.
- Excuse me. - What do you want?
I'm really in dire straits...
And?
Can I borrow a dollar?
I'm not some creep.
I work at the LK Corporation.
I just need a dollar for bus fare...
- Help! - Hey!
Hello?
You'd better come back here soon!
Hello?
Hello!
Moron...
Whose blazer is this?
Never mind.
I'm saying this for your own good. Don't do anything foolish.
People refer to me as a
more of a charismatic or a workaholic.
but I think of myself as a
sort of a lonely hyena.
Ms. Lee Mi-ok!
Don't I look a little different today too?
Whose blazer is this?
Moron...
When I first saw you
I was burned by the sunshine
I left me a wound.
and it's still there.
Do you know?
When I waited for you.
I was hiding far away
HYUN-AH
hoping you to come.
Don't wait for the man
inside you too much.
Look back at me sometimes.
Don't say it's impossible.
Even when they take us apart,
Don't give up. Trust me.
Please.
When someone comes,
come hide behind me.
I don't need anything.
Don't worry.
Such a twit...
You don't have that many suits?
The black one's at the cleaners, jerk.
Your wallet and cell are still in your blazer.
Carry some cash on you. Didn't you get your paycheck?
Twenty bucks? Come on.
What's it to you, punk?
I'm just saying...
Why, I should just...
Good morning.
- You guys are here early. - Good morning.
You know what I heard?
Mi-ok left work with Mr. Song yesterday.
- Why?/- It must be about her contract extension.
- Oh my god. - She really is a man-killer.
She diid the same with the new hire on LK scholarship
And then with the new top hire.
Is that why he was passing out those flyers?
I was wondering why a regular worker would do that.
- She gets what she wants. - Pretty amazing.
Let's go.
Is it going well?
No.
How about joining me for lunch?
Sure...
I'll see you later then.
How are you, sir?
Oh, hello.
I don't see Mr. Moon around...
He must've stepped out for a second.
- Then is Ms. Nah around? -She's away to Europe.
Then are you free?
- Here you go. - Thank you.
What is this about?
To a big company like LK this might not mean anything,
But for small fish like us, it's a matter of survival.
What are you referring to?
We do everything with cold hard cash.
The corporate budget, the payroll...
We deal everything with cash.
And?
But if you drop us as your client overnight,
you're really taking away our livelihood.
- Wait... - You ought to be ashamed.
And then you make me take you out for drinks...
Sir, please. I'm begging you.
Please help me, please.
If you just override my decision,
without telling me anything,
how does that make me look?
I told you to give the other guys a chance.
I would've, but they brought me
a ridiculous proposal.
And our regular client was doing fine.
Your junior alumni guys were nothing special.
If you're going to drop a regular client,
you have to let me know.
We don't need to drag this out. Just do as I say.
What?
Be honest. How much did you get for this?
You'd better watch what you say. I'm not like you!
What did you just say?
I've been looking for you two.
What's this?
I've been mulling this over.
It was wrong to have him take us out for drinks.
You can give him this for now.
Tell me what we still owe him, and I'll pay the rest.
Excuse me.
What in the world did that clown just do?
Hello, sir.
You think this is a joke?
What am I supposed to do with this pitiful amount?
Do you know how much those bars charge?
- No, I don't, sir. - Then just stay out of it.
It's not your place.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Hey, let's get some lunch.
Sure, why not?
Mi-ok.
Let's get some lunch.
Sure.
Could you help me out?
- With what? - Mr. Song's assignment.
I have a general concept.
But I'm having trouble with the specifics.
If we put our heads together, we could have something better.
Why don't you work with Bong-sam?
But Bong-sam's busy with other things these days.
You should still work with him.
How did your talk with Mr. Song go?
Pardon?
Everyone at work's been talking about it.
You left work in his car?
Now that I think about it,
I guess you're the one who gets around.
That's not really what happened...
Mi-ok was with me and Bong-sam yesterday.
Did Bong-sam drive you home okay last night?
Yes.
You big mouth...
Hyun-ah!
I'm sorry I invited you to lunch.
You must have a pretty low opinion of me
to have followed me last night.
It wasn't that. I was just worried...
Same difference, isn't it?
No, it isn't...
Hyun-ah!
Let go!
You have to give me.
a chance to explain.
Explain what?
You said you're honest when you're with me!
Are you honest when you're with Mi-ok too?
You scum...
- Hello? - Yes, Mr. Song.
Come in.
You wanted to see me, sir?
Yes.
This is the data I gathered while I was in New York.
It should help you understand cosmetics trends
in America and Europe.
Read it and I'd like to get your input at the next meeting.
Thank you, sir.
Do you have no faith in me?
You were so worried you had to follow?
I saw her
as a matter of company business.
What's your excuse?
Don't tell me you're dating a temp.
No, sir.
I wouldn't do anything to upset
- Mr. Suh's daughter. - Pardon?
Mr. Suh may be old and seem like
a tiger without fangs, but he still has
quite a bit of clout in this corporation.
Why do you think Mr. Kim kisses up to him?
You might be the smart but sentimental type...
What you have right now
is a heaven-sent opportunity.
You won't have another opportunity like this.
I'm sure you're aware of that much as well.
I wouldn't waste my time on some temp.
Just try to stay on Hyun-ah's good side.
That would be helping out the both of us.
Sir.
Yes?
Director Koo is looking for you.
I guess I have to go if he calls.
Is this about that client by any chance?
You really are a newbie.
This kind of thing happens dozens of times a day.
You won't last if you let it get to you.
It's not my problem. It's not my business.
I just get depressed every now and then.
I don't really like what I've become.
I can try to be
the lone knight ofjustice,
but I end up realizing it's all useless.
No matter how unjust it may be,
if the company as a whole deems it appropriate,
I have to follow along.
I sometimes hate myself for it.
- Are things going well for you? - Well, its...
Don't embarrass yourself at the meetings,
Want me to let you in on what's key to doing a good job?
Yes, sir!
- If you don't know something, ask. - Pardon?
Don't be embarrassed. Just ask.
That's the key.
Mr. Zero.
I'm sorry?
From now on, you're Mr. Zero when you're with me.
- What kind of cosmetics do you use? - Imported cosmetics.
But you're an LK employee.
Well, I've always used them, so...
Where do you buy them?
At department stores or duty-free shops.
Do people usually buy cosmetics there?
Well, my friends do.
Thanks.
One sec!
What kind of cosmetics do you like?
Why? Going to get some for me?
- Excuse me. - Yes?
- What kind of cosmetics do you like? - I like Senselife.
Thank you. What kind of cosmetics do you like?
What are you doing?
Working.
- Mom, let me borrow this. - Why?
What's gotten into him?
I wonder.
The answer is number 2 The world peace and...
- The world peace and... - Min, come with me for a sec.
Number 2, the world peace.
Come on.
Why do we have these things on?
Yes, why?
It's supposed to be good for you.
So this is going to make me good-looking?
Tell me how you feel after using the pack,
such as how much better you look
and that sort of thing then right them.
And turn it in to me.
- How much are you giving us? - 20 bucks.
Aren't these for women, though?
- There aren't any women around. - Sure, there are.
There are those bar madams, and that chick with the temper.
Mi-ok?
- Who's Mi-ok? - You know the one who works for LK.
We took part in her demonstration. You knucklehead.
Oh, that chick...
That chick?
I think she and I are the same age.
Every time you disrespect her, I'll smack you one.
Stop crying. You'll get wrinkles.
Anyway, Ho.
You said you'd do me that favor when you got paid.
- What's going on with that? - What?
You said you'd take me to a bar
with hot girls and buy me drinks.
For real!
- You mean Fox? - Not that dump.
- Really? - You were classmates?
You seem about my age, though.
I thought you were Ho's uncle when I met you.
He's acutally older. Din't you repeat three years?
Yes.
Only three years older? But you look so old.
I've been through so much, that's why.
Is that right?
And what brand of cosmetics do you ladies use?
LK, of course. Mi-ok buys it at a discount for us.
Now that we're on the subject,
I want you to stop stealing my lotion.
You and that huge face of yours.
Every time you use it, half the bottle's gone.
Half the bottle?
How could you say something like that before customers?
It's not as if I'm making it up. I have a small face.
And one bottle of facial creme lasts me over a year.
But once you use it a few times,
it doesn't even last a month.
Are you done? So petty over some makeup.
Did you have to embarrass me in front of customers?
Well, just stop using my stuff then.
So you want a piece of me?
- Come on, fatso. - What? Fatso!
- How could you? - Ladies, please...
How could you talk like that in front of customers?
Ladies! Calm down. Have a drink.
- Please sit down. - My, we're being so silly...
Yes, what's gotten into us? Let's sit down.
Shouldn't we invite Mi-ok too?
Should we?
Yes, let's. I'll give her a call.
She's not answering. Her light's on, though.
She must've stepped out. Anyone want to go up and check?
I will.
Come on, sweetie.
Don't stress yourself out so much.
Mi-ok!
Are you in?
Mi-ok!
What brings you here?
We're having a beer downstairs. Want to join us?
I was in the middle of something.
Oh, I see...
- Next time, then. - Well, bye.
I wanted to ask you something, though.
What kind of cosmetics do you use?
What?
- Mr. Koo. - Yes, sir.
- Did that clown come to work? - Yes, sir.
- No reaction? - No, sir.
Not at all?
- No, sir. Not at all. - What's the matter with him?
And he's been working so hard
on Mr. Song's assignment.
I'm at a loss, sir...
- How are you, sir? - Why, you punk.
Are you smiling? Why, I should just ...
Open up.
I said, open up!
You'd better open up!
Hello, sir.
- Ho! - Seung-jae!
Was it you?
When I heard those sounds, I knew it was you.
- Are you in the administrative department?/- Yes.
Didn't you get an award from the construction department?
- Yes. - You really are amazing.
Come on, stop.
Wait. You know the gentleman who bought all the lingerie?
What about him?
Do you still have his business card?
I can probably find it. Why?
Well, he... Hold on.
Hello? Yes, sir.
No, sir. I'll be right there.
I have to go. Let's go out for a drink sometime.

What are you looking at?
Why are you throwing away perfectly good paper?
We're supposed to recycle.

COSMETICS MARKETING PROPOSAL BY LEE BONG-SAM AND SUH HYUN-AH
What do you have there?
Something for today's meeting.
- Want me to type it up for you? - No it's okay.
- Give it to me. I'm fast. - But you don't have to...
Although I was informed they'd do this positively.
It would be better to have a secured system.
such as organizing a consortium.
What kind of safety system are you talking about?
We need to tie redline to the executive levels.
Excuse me, mm. Do you have anyone to recommend?
There's someone called Maruyama who works for
Hatsushiba electronics in Japan.
Maruyama?
Some people say this person is Korean but nobody's sure about his identity
He's quite powerful both economically and politically
not only America but also Japan.
Mr. Song, it's almost meeting time.
You do know
the foreign marketing director will be in next week?
Okay. I know.
Okay.Thank you for coming.
Can we meet next time? How about coming Tuesday?
- Sure. - Okay.
- Hello, sir. - Yes.
Hello.
Oh, hi...
Go ahead, sir.
What are you doing?
I was doing something. Did you eat?
COSMETICS MARKETING PROPOSAL BY KANG HO
So the conclusion is that...
You want to make
a spin-off, low-budget line?
Yes, sir.
Why do you need such a lengthy proposal for that?
And as for you, Hyun-ah,
how long do you plan to follow other people's lead?
Actually, we worked on it together.
Yeah, whatever...
