Scenario/ Sun-mi Lee, Ki-ho Kim Producer/ Hee Han
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...
COSMETICS MARKETING PROPOSAL BY KANG HO
COSMETICS BUYING PATTERN SURVEY
Madam Yang from Fox'S
prefers large containers due to her large face.
Ms. Kim shares her's with her sister.
Miss Park buys from a drug store.
Mi-ok Lee...
Uses free samples?
Nice job doing the survey.
So what's your conclusion?
My conclusion is that our products are good.
What kind of silly conclusion is that?
Everyone here knows our products are good.
And that's exactly my point. We all know it.
But not the people who haven't used LK cosmetics.
And people tend to stick to the brands they've been using.
I only realized the quality of our cosmetics
after using them for this survey.
My friends said that
they felt better after using them.
And?
And we can create social situations
where people get exposed to our products.
That way we can promote our Products.
That is my opinion.
It was fun doing those facial packs with my friends.
And we exchanded our ideas.
If that's the case for guys, wouldn't women enjoy even more?
Forgive me for laughing while you're being so serious.
I was just imagining you and your friends with facial packs.
Mr. Koo, did you get the e-mail from Ms. Nah?
Yes, sir.
Will she be coming back with everyone else?
No, she has a North American marketing meeting,
- so she's going to LA. - Is that right?
Not bad.
Pardon?
Your idea wasn't so bad.
Cheer up.
You thought it was without merit too?
What?
You know, at the meeting. What Ho was talking about.
Mr. Song shot down the idea.
I think it should be submitted to the cosmetics division
and put into execution.
Do you know why you never made it big?
What?
The bigwig shot it down and you're going to pursue it?
Just go with the flow.
Know the problem with guys like you?
When given a project, you go by the book.
You do an obvious analysis.
Therefore, you get obvious results.
Think outside the box.
Yes, sir.
About what Kang Ho said at the meeting...
What do you think?
I wasn't really paying attention.
I see that you underestimate him.
Pardon?
I don't know if he realized it,
but he addressed a very crucial issue.
Actually two issues.
One was brand loyalty.
The other was what we call ''service and trial cafeteria.''
There's a potential goldmine in his ideas.
You'd better look into it.
If you don't have what it takes, look to those who do.
Right?
Know the problem with guys like you?
When given a project, you go by the book.
Hi, it's been a long time, Carl. Nice to see you Mr. Koo.
Welcome to our company.
Overall the awareness of product quality is upgraded.
However, there does exists a difficulty in recognizing low priced brands.
exept those that differ in terms of design.
That is why we pay you such a great amount.
Upgrading the image of our company
and product is what we're asking.
Can we have some information concerning the product launch next year?
What for?
So that we can plan for the overall marketting strategy.
Okay. First, we'll discuss about what extent we can open the information, alright?
We're very sensitive about security because of spy.
What we want is not to have an immediate fluff
but to enhance the image of LK Corporation
to the prestigious brand
We have potential to make things happen.
We really care about security these days.
You don't speak English?
How did you manage to pass the interview?
According to Mr. Kim, you're an amazing talent
I'm not sure what the truth is.
Mr. Koo wants to see you.
You asked for me, sir?
Where were you?
I was just doing some thinking, sir.
Come here.
Closer.
What were you thinking? That you should quit?
Here.
I'm heading out. Bring my car around.
Yes, sir.
Sure, you may have gotten a zero on the exam,
but he can't turn you into a valet.
Mr. Koo was a bit out of line, don't you think?
Mr. Zero.
You can put them on the table.
I've been mulling this over.
But the idea is too good to be wasted.
What idea?
The one you brought up during the meeting.
It's not an idea that should be discarded.
What you proposed was a type of service station...
Not just as a trial lab.
How about bolstering the idea with some specifics?
I'm sorry, sir?
Even if the higher-ups don't help, we can make it happen.
I'll help you.
You know I'm unsurpassed when it comes to proposals.
Yes...
You don't feel confident?
I do.
Let's find all the information we need
and make this thing happen.
Hi.
Where were you?
At an interview?
I'd like to be alone. Can you leave?
Ramen noodles again? Don't you get sick of them?
Want to come for a meal at my house?
No, thanks. You can go.
What's the matter?
Come on, man.
Let me just have a bite!
That's how you approach everything.
You take when you're hungry and sleep when you're sleepy
Have you ever thought, even for a moment,
about what I might be going through?
Of course, I have. I always care about you.
Just give me some soup.
Leave!
Do my words mean nothing to you?
Didn't you just hear me say I want to be alone?
I just wanted some soup. No reason to get so angry.
You're making me feel bad...
Of course.
How would someone like you understand me?
What was that?
Oh, I'm sorry.
I forgot that you're the man at LK.
Yeah, take it all. I'm sorry.
Why don't you have some more?
My heart feels so light
You make me stay at your garden.
Are you out of your mind?
How can you just quit? Don't you ever think?
You think I wanted to quit?
They told me to quit. What could I do?
Sure, Ho is bringing home a paycheck now.
But he has to save up for
when he gets married.
You think I don't know that?
My heart feels so light.
And what if he somehow gets into school?
How will we pay for his school?
What am I supposed to do?
How can you be so impatient?
That's enough.
It's not as if dad quit because he didn't want to work.
So stop torturing him.
You're working awfully hard.
I'm tying up loose ends for my replacement.
I thought you were waiting around for me.
See you tomorrow.
Want a ride?
No, thanks.
It's on the way.
Let's go.
What brings you here at this hour?
I had some business to take care of.
Work hard.
All right. Bye.
Let's go.
Do you know?
When I waited for you.
I was hiding far away
hoping you to come.
Don't wait for the man
inside you too much.
Look back at me sometimes.
You can go now.
What?
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 forgot something...
What did you forget?
Oh, it was in my bag...
I'm so absent-minded...
Take it easy.
Is Bong-sam waiting for you?
No...
Why didn't you go with him?
Seems like he's come back to you.
What?
Aren't you guys giving it another go?
It's not like that.
Then what is it?
It looks like you're just another girl
desperately tyring to hold on to a guy who dumped you.
I'm so hungry.
I couldn't even eat because of that meeting.
Mi-ok.
Yes, sir.
He's still not here?
No.
What?
And it's past ten...
He hasn't called either?
No, not yet.
Isn't he coming?
Time for the meeting, everyone.
What the...
Hey. Hey!
Hey, you.
Hey!
How are you, sir?
Good morning.
Let me go wash up.
What the heck?
Why, that punk...
Good morning, sir.
Hello.
You wore that to work today?
I had so much work to do here last night.
How could a new hire have so much to do?
I did, though.
So what were you working on?
lt was more studying than work.
Studying what?
Work-related things.
Like what?
Are you doubting my words, sir?
No. Is that what it sounded like?
I was just wondering what our super rookie
was studying.
Good morning, sir.
Mi-ok, one sec...
I was about to call you.
In regards to what?
Are you free tonight?
May I ask why?
I need some work done
on MS Word and Excel.
but my secretary's on a business trip.
It's not much, but I need to submit it to the Board.
It's a report on the first half numbers
and the management plans for the second half.
Could you help me out?
I'm sorry sir but I'm rather busy tonight.
You have a prior engagement?
No, I don't.
But I was working on something.
Could you ask someone else?
No, I couldn't.
No, what I mean is... There's no one else to...
- If you could... - I'll volunteer, sir!
This is Joo Sung-tae speaking.
Thank you for applying to our company.
But to be honest, you're overqualified.
You should apply to a bigger company.
But that's absurd.
We've hired applicants like you, and they usually move on.
We're sorry.
Where were we?
''Little did I imagine... ''
Little did I imagine that I would succeed.
What does this phrase mean?
''Little did I imagine I would succeed.''
What does it mean?
''Little did I imagine'' and ''I would succeed.''
Little did I imagine.
Put the two clauses together. What do you get?
The author's saying he never thought he'd succeed.
Right?
Right.
But this sentence doesn't use typical syntax.
As a matter of emphasis,
the sentence starts off with a negative clause.
Rearrange the sentence. How would you do that?
''I didn't imagine that I would succeed.''
That's the normal syntax.
I little imagine that would succeed.
I little, that would succeed.
Min.
It hurts me to have to tell you this,
but maybe you should give up about now.
What do you mean?
Not everyone has to go to college.
Besides, going to college doesn't guarantee anything.
Look at me, for instance.
How are you and I any different?
This is a waste of time.
And I can't bear spending my time
in this worthless manner.
Let's call it a day.
You should go home.
Hello?
I'm so hungry.
Give me a call.
What are you staring at?
What?
Did you bring it?
Yes.
Is mom still upset?
Yeah.
Have you had lunch?
Yes, I have.
You can go now.
You know, Sung-tae's been acting weird lately.
How?
I don't know. But he's just being weird.
Well, thanks.
Okay.
Hey, the bag.
Bong-sam.
Yes, sir.
We need this for the meeting.
So don't skip anything. Get all the info.
Ask me if you don't understand something.
I'm sorry, sir, but I'm kind of busy right now.
What?
I'm working on a proposal Mr. Song assigned.
It's important.
So?
Hyun-ah or Ho could do it.
You think this is some joint!
Why don't you be the supervisor!
Hello? Hi. Just a moment.
Mr. Koo, it's Mr. Huh from Foreign Operations.
Speaking.
Hey there.
Right, Kang Ho...
Right.
Really?
Okay. Thanks.
We'll talk again.
Mi-ok, where's Ho?
He's with Mr. Song.
You must be hungry, sir.
Let's finish this up first.
It might take a while.
A little bit of hunger actually increases one's concentration.
I find it hard to concentrate, when I'm hungry.
Have two Chinese noodles delivered to my office.
Extra large.
Maybe there's someone on the inside
who is helping him out.
Don't you think that might be the case, sir?
Whatever do you mean?
This whole thing makes no sense.
And unless he knows someone with clout
he couldn't be so thick-skinned
about continuing to work here.
I mean, it's not an easy thing
to score a zero on the test.
Are you suggesting he got a zero intentionally?
We have to consider that possibility.
And think of what happened with that construction settlement.
He couldn't have done that without someone's help.
And I almost let this one pass, but it was so strange
that I asked around Foreign Operations.
The huge order of women's lingerie he scored
came directly from a Japanese company,
a company that works with us.
I've spoke to my secret sources and
the person who placed the order is a real bigwig.
And who is this bigwig?
That I don't know...
So anyway, this is my theory.
Some people with connections may have exploited
the system error to place Ho in the company.
By bringing attention to him, they can point out
the kink in the computerized hiring system
and put you in dire straits.
But who?
The vice-president's people are trying to dscredit you.
The vice president...
The director of Planning and Management too...
Really?
And the Construction department director gave
that award to Ho, but...
Construction department?
But who brought him to the administration department
when we had him isolated with that bogus secret project?
Mr. Song's the most suspicious. He came back so suddenly.
Song?
What's certain is that all sides who want to control
the company consider you their biggest rival.
Why do I have so many enemies?
Capable people are always subject to envy and resentment.
In my opinion, the only one capable of executing
such an intricate plan against me is Song.
If this is really that scoundrel's doing,
we can't just sit here and take it.
Mr. Koo.
Yes, sir.
If Kang Ho is our Achilles' heel,
we must find Song's Achilles' heel.
Find out what it is.
Yes, sir.
I'll finish up the rest tomorrow.
No, don't worry. I'll take care of it.
I'm sorry I wasn't of much help.
No, not at all.
Where do you live, sir?
Why do you ask?
The buses have stopped running, and I'm broke for a taxi.
I'd really appreciate a ride, sir.
After you, sir.
Which floor?
Here?
Yes, thank you.
Good night, sir.
Mi-ok...
Are you mad because of what I said?
Why would I be mad? What you said was true.
Hello?
Hi, it's me. Sorry to call so late.
Did I wake you?
No. What is it?
I have to do data analysis using Excel.
Do you know how to do it?
You have to use Visual Basic.
I can't really explain it over the phone.
I'll show you tomorrow at work.
Would you? I'll see you tomorrow then.
Sorry to bother you. Good night.
Who is it?
Why was your phone busy?
What brings you here?
Got anything to drink?
Where did you drink so much?
I went out with some friends.
Which friends?
The ones you saw that one time.
You've stayed out pretty late.
You're working mighty hard.
It's nothing.
Can I spend the night here?
Are you sure that will be okay?
I transferred departments to be with you.
But I think it's actually making me see you less.
We see each other everyday.
But it doesn't seem like it.
Some weird chick keeps getting on my nerves.
And all we do is fight.
I hate this.
What have I told you? Don't mind her.
She's not worth comparing yourself to.
Well, don't make me compare myself to her.
You're the only one for me.
You mean that?
Of course.
What's happened to me? I wasn't like this before.
I used to be pretty cool.
You still are.
Hold me.
Who were you talking to earlier?
What?
Hyun-ah...
CALL LOG Ml-OK
Hyun-ah, it was nothing. I had something to ask.
You're such a joke.
- Hyun-ah! - Let go!
Hyun-ah!
Good morning.
Wait!
Hi.
Ms. Mi-ok Lee.
You can have Bong-sam.
Sir.
LETTER OF RESIGNATION
What's this?
Thank you for everything. Goodbye, sir.
Ms. Suh.
Why don't we talk?
She does whatever she pleases.
Sir.
What is it?
Hyun-ah resigned out of the blue.
Why?
I don't know, sir.
There must be a reason!
As far as I know, there was no reason...
Don't be preposterous! Maybe too much work
or someone must've said something to her.
Well, nothing like that happened...
And President Suh asked me to look after her.
How will I face him?
I shouldn't process the resignation, should I?
Bring her to me. I'll try talking to her.
Yes, sir.
Okay then.
Life is so unfair. Isn't it?
You want to work here, and they're forcing you out.
She walked out on her own, and they want her back.
Are you and Bong-sam really an item?
Is that why Hyun-ah's making such a big fuss?
No, we're not.
I heard there's something between you and Ho too.
Let them think what they want. I'm quitting anyway.
And you asked Mr. Song for a term extension too?
He won't do it?
Who'd say such a thing?
All the girls at work know about it.
So the big star of LK is here.
Start turning things over to Ms. Oh tomorrow.
Where is everyone?
I'm sorry.
I can't answer yhour phone right now.
Please try again later.
Didn't I tell you to start behaving?
Hyun-ah. Your college buddy is here.
Let's go.
No, let go.
Come with me.
Mr. Bong-sam Lee, I have nothing to say to you.
Will you stop!
Hey, didn't she say no?
Can't you see that we're having a drink here?
Dork...
We'll talk outside.
Listen here, Bong-sam.
Do you really think we make a good couple?
Mi-ok is just your type.
Find another love
a better man
I am only without hope
I cannot love you
The deeper my love grows
it only becomes my obssession.
My sorrow
Being with you made me happy
But I couldn't smile.
Did you mean to play me,
and then just throw me away?
Think whatever will make it easier for you.
So my genuine feelings...
They meant nothing to you?
Do you really think we make a good couple?
Do you really think we make a good couple...
I can't even in my dreams
