Hello?
Oh, hi.
What are you doing?
I was waiting for you.
Why?
I...
Because I missed you.
Do you know how much I was worried about you?
Why?
I was afraid you went to the bridge again.
I feel better. Bye.
Wait.
Take care.
Good night.
You're here early.
- Hello, sir.? - Are you hitting them alright?
Not yet, sir.
- Go on. - Yes, sir.
You're putting too much into your swing.
You'll hurt your rib cage that way.
- I'll watch for that, sir. - When you swing
do it like the water flows. Just like our lives.
So it was about Mi-ok at the end?
I'm sorry, sir?
I told you Hyun-ah was a heaven-sent opportunity.
If you can't even win over a girl's heart,
how can I trust you to do anything else?
I won't extend any favors
To someone who ignores my advice.
I'm just not that generous.
- I'm sorry to disappoint you, sir. - You know
an opportunity is a fleeting thing.
Unless you grasp it when it presents itself,
you won't have another go at it.
That applies to both work and women.
I'll keep that in mind, sir.
When will I see that proposal?
I'll have it ready soon, sir.
I hear that fellow Ho is getting another award.
Pardon?
I believe it's from the chairman this time.
Mr. Kim is lucky to have such a secret weapon.
Kang Ho, why you...
With great loyalty and dedication,
in this age of borderless and
weaponless corporate wars, the administrative department
at LK has displayed
a level of intelligence- gathering
that rivals the CIA, the KGB, and the Mossad.
I am District Manager Ki-yul Kim
of the administrative department.
It is a great honor for me to introduce to you
LK's super rookie Ho Kang.
Why isn't he here yet?
- Sir, we have a major problem. - What is it?
Sit.
What was that? You can't accept the award?
There has to be fairness when it comes to awards.
I haven't done anything to deserve this award.
The people who really deserve it
are Mi-ok and Mr. Moon.
Don't you think we know that?
Of course I know you don't deserve the award.
But it'll make more of an issue
to award it to a super rookie rather than
to a mediore manager like Moon
or a temporary worker like Mi-ok.
I don't want to share the award with you either.
So zip it, and get with the program.
Then I'll have to tell the chairman myself.
Tell him what?
The true identity of your top hire and super rookie.
- Why, you punk. - Calm down.
Hey, now...
Listen here.
So what is it you want?
These two men have me a great accomplishment.
Please show them your appreciation.
Congratulations on receiving this honor.
Now one of the award's recipients,
District Manager Ki-yul Kim, will say a few words.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Once again, the administrative department
is in the limelight.
I'd like to express my sincere regret to the other departments.
It is true that our super rookie once again
played a crucial role.
But we also must recognize the great contributions
made by a former temporary employee
Mi-ok Lee and the heretofore
unrecognized Supervisor Sung-ho Moon.
Thus, as the head of the administrative department,
I promise that
I will award those two as well
for their contribution to the company
Some may see
Ms. Mi-ok Lee's award as
compensation for her recent termination.
Since this happened while she worked here,
I'm determined to see that
she's properly rewarded.
- Congratulations, sir. - Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Thank you..
Thank you. I won't forget this.
Yes, yes, fine.
- Thank you so much, sir. - Okay.
Thank you!
Congratulations, Mr. Kim.
You have quite a secret weapon.
So our clients turned out to be corporate spies.
And our oh- so- wise Mr. Song personally recruited them.
You may not escape unscathed this time.
Oh my...
HELP WANTED High school graduate.
20's to 30's Interview required.
HELP WANTED general business.
High school graduate.
Hello?
Yes, speaking.
Excuse me?
SUPER ROOKIE SAVES THE DAY!
- Congratulations. - Come on, it's nothing.
Keep trying.
One day, you'll be like me.
- Congratulations. - Thank you.
- Congratulations, Mr. Kang. - Thank you.
You're awesome.
- Congratulations. - Why, thank you.
- You're amazing. - Oh, please.
Ho, how many awards does that make now?
Will you stop?
This guy is so lucky.
- Hello. - Mi-ok.
- What's up? - What brings you here?
Hey, Mi-ok.
Hello.
- How are you? - Hi.
- How are you? - Let's go.
What's going on?
Thank to our super rookie, we're getting an award too.
I'm sorry?
Come on.
They're giving me an award
even though I no longer work here?
And I heard that they're rehiring you through an agency.
What? Why?
What you did was quite outstanding.
But still... It's so unexpected...
You don't want it?
- No, it's not that. - Then why?
But I never imagined they'd hire me again.
You'll be working here, but through an agency.
So don't give the other temps any ideas.
Award of Merit, Manager Sung-ho Moon.
Thank you.
- Congratulations. - Come on, stop.
Award of Merit, Ms Mi-ok Lee.
Thank you.
I'll do my best.
Thank you so much.
Would you like to say a few words, sir?
Out.
- Mr. Koo. - Yes, sir.
I'm the authority figure around here.
And I have to let this clown play me like a fool?
Don't get too upset, sir.
I'll do whatever it takes
to kick this loser out.
But if Song hired him, as you surmise,
Song should get the award,
and I should be in dire straits.
How come it's backwards?
Is this your work, Mr. Song?
This is absurd. Don't question me.
I'm on the Board of Directors.
I don't have to put up with this.
I said I don't know!
This is preposterous! Is that your question?
How dare you?
What do you think you're doing?
Mr. Kim... I have two things on you.
And you try to frame an innocent man?
What a joke...
AWARD OF MERIT MS. MI-OK LEE
I heard you got an award. Congratulations.
Thanks.
Waiting for someone?
Yes.
- Who? - You got the award?
Yes.
You didn't have to call me.
I should thank you, at the very least.
- You're not getting off that easy. - I'm sorry?
And one round of drinks won't do.
We're going to a karaoke place.
Be at the Fox by eight.
Well... Okay.
Let's go.
I'll walk you out.
You don't have to. I know my way out.
I just wanted to.
By the way... Why do you talk to me informally?
- You and Min are the same age. - Who is Min?
My little brother.
What in the world are you talking about?
Get out!
Hey, look!
I said my son works here! Why won't you believe me?
Look here...
You'd better go back.
Okay, see you later.
Let go!
I said my son works here!
Why are you forcing me out?
Get out of here!
Didn't you hear me?
Are you out of your mind?
Why, you're beyond help...
Bong-sam is my son.
Bong-sam!
- Please, leave. - Will you stop?
- Keep it down! - Excuse me.
Are you Bong-sam's father?
Who are you?
Hello, I'm Bong-sam's friend.
So there's an employee with that name here?
Yes.
Please wait here.
Hello?
Bong-sam, this is Ho. Come to the lobby.
Why?
Your father's here to see you.
Hello?
I'm rather busy right now.
What do you mean? Your father's here.
Come down for a moment.
I'm sorry. Tell him I'm busy.
What do you take me for!
Bong-sam's in a meeting.
It might be a while...
Is that right? I guess I have no choice then.
Thank you.
Mr. Lee!
Bong-sam wanted me to give you this.
- Oh, he did? - Goodbye.
I need to see you.
Hey! What the heck?
Bong-sam Lee!
What the?
Dad.
Shut up!
Get out of here!
Go follow your mom!
I said shut up!
Why are you crying?
Get out!
What's your problem?
- What's your problem? - What?
I don't need a lecture from someone like you, so beat it.
He's still your father.
I told you to beat it.
He may be of no help to you, but he's your father!
Just mind your own business.
I can see that you don't like me
because I know things that you want to hide.
But that just makes me pity you even more.
You want to go at it right here at work?
Yes, I do, punk.
You really are a blockhead, aren't you? I'm Ho.
I see you still got it.
Okay, bring it on.
You want some, huh?
You can't handle me, man.
What in the world are you guys doing?
I'm completely speechless.
This is your workplace!
Who do you guys think you are?
How dare you have a fistfight at work!
You and Mr. Koo are always going at it too.
What was that?
Pathetic...
Embarrassed?
If you want respect, respect others.
- Yes, sir - Yes, sir.
Go away.
- Kang Ho. - Yes?
How's that thing going?
I'm still mulling it over.
See me before you go home.
Good work.
What are you...
What I valued was your idea itself.
Everything was in that idea.
What I wanted you to do
was to elaborate on that idea.
so that you can persuade others.
I didn't want this mumbo-jumbo,
collection of useless trash.
An idea is only an idea when it's undeveloped.
Anyone can come up with an idea.
What the company wants
is a detailed plan on
how this idea can become a collective goal
of the organization and the people
so that eventually
it makes profit for the company.
Bravo, sir!
Why, I should just...
Bravo!
Go get two cups of coffee.
Yes, sir!
I told you not to use my makeup!
Gosh. Fine, I won't!
Don't cross this line.
Welcome. Hey.
What are you doing here so early?
No one's here?
You're looking lovely. Meeting someone?
- Yes. - Who? That perfect guy?
Pardon?
You know, the handsome guy who dumbed you.
- No. - Then the other guy?
Yes...
Then the handsome guy won't be coming back?
He'll come when he's drunk. You know men.
They don't want you, but don't want to lose you.
''No man refuses ten women.''
That's what you should say, okay?
Well, but I think
neither one really works.
''The grass looks greener on the other side.''
Wouldn't that be the expression to use?
What time were you supposed to meet anyway?
You must get to the
core of the matter.
You only need to explain your thesis.
But this is too long.
Let me tell you something. Longer isn't better.
A fancy presentation isn't necessarily persuasive.
Some people miss the point
but they still like something really flowery.
It looks as if they've worked hard.
Pay attention. What did I just say?
Too long...
Look again.
What a surprise. It's perfect.
Thank you, sir.
With a little work it'll be good
to be presented at the next executive meeting.
Greatjob.
We should have dinner sometime,
but I've been awfully busy. You may go.
Excuse me, sir.
How are you doing wiht Hyun- ah?
I'm keeping my eyes on you.
If you don't have what it takes, look to those who do.
Right?
Still can't type? Work on it at home.
Hyun- ah
And one round of drinks won't do.
We're going to a karaoke place.
Be at the Fox by eight.
- Bye, gentlemen. - Please come again.
How can they bolt out of here after two bottles of beer?
So stingy.
We'd better do something. We'll go out of business.
What's wrong with this guy?
How can he make a lady wait two hours?
Give him a call.
It's no use. He's a lost cause.
Maybe something happened.
Why don't you call your ex- boyfriend?
I don't think he's over you yet...
Listen to yourself. She's just gotten over him.
What are you taking about?
But he's so handsome. What a waste.
And the devil you know is better than the one you don't know.
Speak of the devil...
A bottle of whiskey for me,
and a beer for the lady.
Any appetizers?
- Do you have any bistecca? - What was that?
Did you say biscuits?
It's beef cutlets sprinkled with cheese
and topped with steak sauce. Do you know?
- How about some canapes? - What's that?
Canape is a bisquit
topped with caviar and salmon.
Oh maybe that's canape
You know, when you put cheese on crackers...
- Shut up. That's not it. - No?
If that's not possible,
I'll take a salad a-la-Provence with avocados
or a shrimp salad with Italian dressing.
or seasonal fruit cocktails?
Look, we have some fruit and some jerky.
- Then, I'll take some jerky. - Jerky it is.
Here you are.
Aren't you special? I knew you were smart.
But I never knew you memorized gourmet menus verbatim.
I didn't try to. It just happened.
What are you doing here?
Do I need a reason to drink at a bar?
Didn't you come because you knew I'd be here?
It wasn't a given you'd be at this bar.
It was just a possibility.
Where's Ho?
I guess he stood you up.
Hello?
Mi-ok?
- You got everything? - Yes.
- Should we call it an evening? - No.
- This is fun. - Shall we then?
Sure.
But Mi-ok just called.
Right. What?
Where's my head!
Let's call it an evening. I'll see you tomorrow, sir.
What?
I meant to call you, but I was working...
Sorry...
It happens...
You've been waiting for me here the whole time?
No, I wasn't...
So how did you know I was coming?
Mr. Moon called me.
Oh? Have you had dinner?
We can get something right now.
It's late. I'll take a raincheck.
Let's just have a beer.
No, thanks. I'm turning in.
Are you?
Okay then. I'll call you.
Bye.
Reeks of alcohol in here...
Ho, don't you have to go to work?
Hey, Ho!
Min!
How much did they have to drink?
Get up!
Come on!
I said, get up!
Ho...
Rise and shine.
Hey.
Are you going to be much longer?
Can I help you?
I was referred for a job by LK...
- Your name? - Mi-ok Lee.
You'll be working at LK but as our employee.
- Right. - Did you bring the forms?
Yes. Here you go.
- Hi! - Long time no see.
Indeed...
- Have you thought about it? - About what?
You're so mean.
A woman put aside her pride to ask you out,
About what?
I thought you were joking.
I'm beginning to like you even more.
What was that?
- You know my number, right? - No, I don't
Well, I know yours. So I'll call you.
What brings you here?
Can't you see I'm here to work?
See you.
That was the office of the secret task force...
Mr. Jae- hee Song of administrative department
Appointed to Mokpo branch as a manager.
I knew it coming.
What?
So Mr. Song was implicated in this whole thing?
But someone has to take responsibility.
Ms. Nah sent in her resignation from LA?
This won't stop with her.
Actually, isn't this your responsibility?
Bite your tongue...
I just do as I'm told.
Are you the one who made a fuss about it?
And?
Are you telling me to resign?
You're one lucky son of a gun.
Like a slippery fish...
Listen to you...
When did you get here?
A while ago.
Let's go.
Gosh.
Come in.
And you just got back from the States.
- And you have to leave again. - It's all thanks to you.
I'll always be grateful.
And you had so many wonderful plans.
But none of them got off the launching pad...
- Such a shame. - Well, that's life.
I'll have to suffer for the sake of vengeance.
I certainly hope so.
What brings you here anyway?
I was just passing by.
Please take good care. I won't see you out.
What!
Come on in.
I knew you'd come see me.
I don't know what to say, sir.
You think I'm going to take this sitting down?
No, sir.
Take this.
Don't show it to anyone and take it to the auditors.
What is it?
I can't be the only victim here. Right?
Bong-sam. Mark my words. I'll be back.
This is good. You should go back.
Okay, sir.
Goodbye, sir.
How are you, sir?
Mi-ok.
Take care.
And...
It's pretty much done. We just need the details.
- How would I go about that? - What's missing?
- The name? - Yes.
- Come up with a name. - Yes, sir.
Hello?
Come on, now. I'll show you soon.
Hold your horses...
I'll see you soon. Bye.
Sir.
- What is it? - I'd like a word with you.
Regarding what?
Could I speak to you privately, sir?
