Queen of Reversals
Episode 23
The New Year's new project will be holding its ceremony in Seoul.
Citizens attending this ceremony with joyful faces,
looking forward to the New Year with hope gleaming from their faces.
Although the weather is very cold on New Year’s...
Thank you...
for being so nice to me.
What are you doing?
I want to send you home.
There's no need. It's not like we're dating.
Why should I let you send me home? That's too troublesome.
What's so good about dating?
We've held hands and kissed.
Seriously, are you crazy? Move aside.
Hwang Tae Hee.
Hwang Tae Hee, you've captured me, so next time you need to listen to me.
What?
Listen to me and I'll let you do whatever you want.
Do you think I would?
- You need to listen to me. - Why?
There are many more projects in the future.
Many people hope that we'll fail, and we don't have much time.
If we can't get good results,
our group, including you and I, will be in big trouble.
So you must listen to me.
When I need you, do what I say and help me out.
Because you captured me, you should be responsible for me.
If that's the case, you don't need to worry.
Because within 3 months, we want to produce a new product.
And it's impossible to receive a good achievement.
But no matter what, we still need to finish it.
These are Headquarter Director's Goo thoughts.
So, no matter what,
I hope that you can think as if this is your last time working here,
working hard and completing this task.
That's it.
Starting from now, our team needs to create new products on our own.
No material and situation restriction.
We can use the ideas we thought of before.
We can also use ideas that are in trend recently.
Bring everything out. I will choose the subject.
Creativity, Popularity, Profitability.
I want to see everything.
Out of 100 points, we must score more than 80.
Then I'll let you guys get off from work.
That... Are you saying if we score less than 80, we're not allowed to go home...
Yes. You will need to stay here with me.
Are you serious? Staying over night here, only the 2 of us?
We might get criticized for staying overnight together.
And it might also affect our relationship.
I was a little happy.
If my idea isn't good, I'm going to get scolded by Headquarter Director Goo.
I still need to think about my younger generations.
This is good for Team Leader, you have so many ideas.
No, it's not supposed to be like this. I'm old now, it's different from before.
It feels like we're schooling.
Smart students will always say they didn't study.
And they'll only get 2 questions wrong and start to cry.
It's exactly the same as that.
That's not what I meant. I...
didn't answer so many questions wrongly before.
When did you start thinking about this?
I started to piece them together one by one.
The idea is rather traditional but your market analysis is really good.
I've been in marketing for 30 years.
Really?
Your points are...
90.
Thank you.
Aren't you going to give it to him?
- What's wrong?
Go.
This idea, it's a little simple and lacking a little.
It's lacking.
What?
This product, other departments have already tried it last year and failed.
Nowadays, herbal medicine itself is not anything special...
If this continues, we'll be in danger.
It lacks creativity and has no market value.
So your marks will be...
35.
What?
Team Leader, what are you going to do?
Aish, he's being too much. How can he just give you 35 points?
Yoo Kyung, lower down your voice.
Uh, yes. I'm sorry.
Yoo Kyung, congratulations.
Although you anticipated good results, I didn't expect you'd get 90.
Exactly, I didn't expect this.
About that... I'm sorry, but I need to drink my coffee.
Both of you should leave first.
Yes.
Where did you get this idea from? It's great.
I've been collecting ideas daily...
This is really driving me crazy. How can he give me a 35?
You are dead meat!
25.
What did you say?
25.
Why? It's not completely finalized.
When the plan is correctly processed, the project can be successful.
This is also very successful in Europe.
I can see what the concept is.
How?
It's too old.
Hwang Tae Hee, you said it yourself. It was prevalent in Europe 5 years ago.
The gap in the 5 years are reflected here.
The rest of you can go now.
We're leaving. Fighting.
Well then, come to the Gob-chang (cow's small intestines) restaurant afterwards.
Yes.
Don't be too late.
Don't eat so quickly. Eat slowly.
I think I'm starting to understand how the teacher felt
when teaching the weaker student.
What did you say?
Last time during school,
the teachers would stay back teaching the weaker students.
The teachers must feel very vexed.
What's wrong?
Are you angry that you got 25?
What are you doing?
You're sitting too far away, I'm afraid that you can't hear me.
Lower your voice.
- Is this very embarrassing? - Do you think it's something to boast about?
Frankly speaking.
What?
You're doing this because you want to be with me.
You're being too obvious.
You want to stay overnight here with me, but you can't say it.
That's why you're using this method as an excuse,
so that I'll stay, isn't it?
What's wrong? Did I guess right?
Are you feeling very embarrassed now?
No. I... didn't know this kind of method existed till just now.
And I find it very ridiculous.
What?
I really think that Hwang Tae Hee's points are only 35 and 25.
Frankly speaking, I have some feelings for Hwang Tae Hee.
Hence I wanted to give you some additional points,
but I think I should not mix my personal feelings with work.
Could you just ask again Mr. Hardy about our proposition once again?
Yes. I understand.
But anyway, do you remember me? We've met in New York.
Yes. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.
We are talking now.
Mr. Kang, would you just tell me
where Mr. Hardy is going to have dinner tomorrow night?
Yes.
Yeah.
Of course not. I won't tell anyone where I get this information.
Thanks a lot.
Yes. Thanks again. Bye bye.
Yes.
- Did you call for me? - Yes. Please have a seat.
You know about brand name called Ophelia?
We've developed this previously, but it failed.
Well, it has been very popular in Europe recently.
It has become a hot topic.
The representative of that brand is in Korea.
He's been in contact with our rival to promote their products in the Korean market again...
We need to stop this.
No matter what, we need to work with the other company.
But our relationship with that company isn't good.
I'm afraid this will be very hard.
So we need to put all our efforts to this.
We'll have dinner here tomorrow.
This is a chance I am giving to you Bong Joon Soo. It is first time, isn't it?
You can get off work.
That's fine.
Headquarter Director Goo has yet to get off.
What's wrong with you? Normally you'll be missing by 6 pm.
No, that's fine. I want to be with Headquarter Director Goo today.
Do you dislike me being together with Hwang Tae Hee?
Hyung,
frankly speaking.
You purposely gave her low points so that she'd stay, didn't you?
You just wanted to have some alone time with her.
Even you see me as a person like that?
Nope, you're someone better than me.
I gave her a low score because I expected more from her.
She's someone that can do better.
Seriously.
Hyung, you think Hwang Tae Hee is the world's most
prettiest and smartest woman, don't you?
Hurry go back.
Forget it.
How would I know whether you'll be doing work or other things.
Did you know So Yoo Kyung is going for a blind date today?
What did you say?
Just now she said she's going there.
She said she's having a blind date at a hotel.
The guy is the hotel's owner son I think.
You haven't got an idea.
Ideas don't come out so easily just by squeezing your brain.
How did the others squeeze it out?
How can you be awake?
I don't think you'll be able to produce any results like this, why don't you go home?
You should go first. I still want to stay longer.
Usually, the students who fail stay at their desks the longest.
Why are you staring at me with such big eyes?
Have a safe trip.
What did you find out?
These few.
What is it?
This was popular in Japan last year.
What's wrong?
Sit further away from me.
- For this, you scored 15. - Why?
Someone showed me this just now. You can't copy from others.
What are you doing?
Yoo Kyung, are you going on a blind date?
What?
How did you know?
How can you change your heart so quickly?
What do you mean change of heart? When did I say I liked you?
- Although you didn't say that before... - I didn't say it before.
Even though you didn't say that before, I thought it was like that.
I thought that you would at least have some feelings for me.
If not, why did you wear the hat I gave you?
That's why I misunderstood.
I won't fall in love and get divorced.
I've been in love before.
I feel that two people without anything.? It'll be hard to survive.
That's why I want to marry someone rich.
Let him bear my burden.
You're right. I'm not the hotel's owner son.
I'm also not from a rich 2nd generation. I'm just a secretary.
But I'm willing to bear Yoo Kyung's burden.
So, can't you see my sincerity?
Even the dogs in the village heard it. How can a guy cry so easily?
Oh my, what's going on with me?
Oh my, why am I starting to cry? Why are my tears falling?
There are also students who worked hard studying and didn't achieve great results.
So?
Nothing much.
Hello, Headquarter Director Goo.
Yes...
I heard you've gotten promoted to a team leader..
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Did you wait long?
Not really.
Let's go.
Just now, did you just use me?
That's fine.
Because of that, I am getting treated to this meal.
I've also used Bong Joon Soo a couple of times.
And I even did some bad things.
If you want to use me, go ahead. Alright?
Aigoo.
Your eyes are sunken and..
What is this?
I'm a little busy with work.
You need to at least remember to show some care towards So Ra.
What happened?
Nothing much. So Ra's English teacher just called.
Saying So Ra has not been focusing in class like before.
Aigoo. The teacher is exaggerating.
What can such a young child learn?
Just play around...what concentration!
Hey.
Other kids either score 100 points or have a question wrong,
but So Ra was the only one that scored 30.
So the teacher is telling So Ra to stay back.
So Ra, life is not easy.
Mommy is the same, very tired.
Oh?
What's this?
Bubble gum, share it among your friends.
You're only attending work now?
Did you come here to meet Han Ma'am?
The two of you have been meeting very frequently.
What's wrong? Can't I?
There's nothing wrong.
Hyung, you're so focused, I also need to work hard.
Really? Don't overdo it.
You'll only end up more tired and you'll be the only one hurt.
As always, only an older brother is worried about his younger brother.
But that's fine.
Because I've been back stabbed so many times,
I've grown used to it, so it won't hurt as much.
Why are you suddenly looking for this information?
Oh, I have to meet a representative tonight.
Will the representative there agree to meet you?
No.
Did Han? Ma’am? do this?
Even though it's not easy, just like what Han? Ma’am? said,
if we can launch this brand,
it's going to be a very good chance for us.
It'll be a good development trend in the United States and Europe.
When you're meeting the representative, bring me along.
Can I?
Jun Soo, how's your English?
Are you okay?
Ah, was your English good when you were in school?
There are many problems with the English Education in our country.
It's too focused on the grammar.
Yes...it is all about the grammar.
My second language is German.
Hello.
The interpreter Yeo Jin said it was you?
Of course. With my looks and my good English, you must be frightened.
What?
Anyways, thanks for your help.
Anyways, I'm just doing this because of Baek Yeo Jin.
Where did she go?
She said there were places she needed to go, but I'm not sure where.
Are you attending a party?
It looks nice on me, so there's nothing wrong.
Don't you think it's too much?
It looks nice on me, there's nothing wrong.
Isn't it exposing too much?
Thank you.
Do you often use that brand's products?
Yes.
This is my favorite item.
There's nothing wrong as long as it looks nice.
Let me have a look too.
Please.
I'll do anything for you. You know that.
May I sit here?
Yes.
Are you people from Queens Cosmetics?
Because if Ms. Han sent you here to meet me, I am very displeased.
You want me to interpret that?
You can guess from his facial expression.
I still remember what Ms. Han did to us, so I don't want to speak to any of you.
Ask him to hear us out.
Could you hold on for a minute, please?
You are correct.
You're right.
We came here tonight to get your consent
and present our company's position to you.
We came here tonight to get on your good side,
and to present our company's position to you.
But we were mistaken.
But we are mistaken.
I should have first figured out what went wrong, and between our two companies,
I should have looked at our past, then trying to reconcile those differences.
For not doing these things, I do apologize.
I should had figured out first what went wrong
and by how much between our companies in the past.
And then try to reconcile those differences first.
And for that, I do apologize.
Before I came here tonight, Representative,
I had a chance to have a closer look at Ophelia, and I was quite inspired.
Before I came here tonight, I had a chance to have a closer look at Ophelia,
and I was quite inspired.
For the fact that all the materials are recycled, and for the fact that your company
is actively preserving the environment,
I was quite impressed.
And the fact that all the materials are recyclable,
and the fact that your company is actively preserving the environment
was very impressive.
And if we were given one more chance,
I'm confident that we can erase any unpleasant memories left behind.
And if we were given one more chance,
I'm confident that we can erase any bad memories left behind.
The representative is very explicit.
No means no, very decisive.
Are you adding fuel to the fire?
Why rant at me?
I did my best to interpret.
Despite all that, I still want to thank you.
Anyway, I didn't help because of you.
Even though we have been rejected, we still have some time.
Hm?
Let's go.
Oh.
We're both heading out the same way.
Thanks for today. I'll treat you out some other time.
Let's go, Joon Soo.
What's that about?
Hey, she can speak cordially to him when she wants to.
Why can't she be like that to me? Why?
I am speechless!
You're really stingy, Baek Yeo Jin.
Aii...car..
Here.
- So Ra, this car is not bad, right? - Yes.
Aii...car...
Aigoo. Aigoo, So Ra.
Aigoo, it's cold today, why have you come outside?
You shouldn't have stepped out in the cold. It's cold, cold, cold.
Why did you come out?
What's this?
This is Joon Soo's.
He is now a Team Leader, and he can't travel by taxi.
So he got a new car.
You paid for it?
No, used Joon Soo's credit card.
Hey,
could it be that So Ra's mom...
is having a boyfriend?
What?
Forgive me.
Truthfully Joon Soo is doing well in the company,
so there's no reason for them not to be reconciled.
It's strange that she keeps playing hard to get.
- Hey, maybe she has a boyfriend? - You never ever say anything right.
You...
don't you think what's going on between a couple is unpredictable?
What if my guess is right? Then what?
Then I'll use my hands to make food offerings for your memorial.
Spouting nonsense.
So Ra, let's go.
Our natural cosmetics are selling well, you know?
But there are too many similar products. I believe some ranking is needed.
Presently when a product is broadly termed as organic, it'll be priced higher.
Regardless of the specifications, this is common practice.
While researching,
we observed some grew their own while others used other sources
for the raw ingredients to make their own concoction for cosmetics.
Winter ingredients include tea flower, winter and snow plums,
green tea...wormwood etc...did you know that?
So?
If consumers can choose the raw materials suitable to their skin,
wouldn't that be wonderful?
It's like DIY cosmetics.
Some like the color of the cosmetic but not the fragrance of the cosmetic.
Some like more of one ingredient and less of another ingredient.
What if we introduce self-mixing of ingredients
allowing customers to create their personalized cosmetics?
It's a good idea, right?
Where are you going?
The idea needs some fact finding.
Now?
But where?
How can we go unprepared?
Just a quick study to see how feasible this would be.
Studying it on a small scale we can do,
but as for mass production, that is another matter.
Tell me how many marks I get.
I'll tell you whether full or zero marks,
after confirming.
Zero?
Merely quoting media statistics without facts deserves a zero mark.
It's audacious of me to say this.
I was always at the top of my class in high school,
excellent in at university, and was awarded a scholarship.
Boldly saying those words is so...
Go faster. It's going to snow.
She's now in Korea but not sure of the whereabouts.
Korea?
Yes.
She came back about a fortnight ago.
Go and find out.
Yes, but...
What?
Something happened to her?
His attitude hasn't changed, still refused to see you.
Sorry that I have to tell you this.
That jerk,
he normally listens to me.
It's okay, I expected this.
But, there isn't much time before I leave.
And I don't know when I'll be coming back.
That's why I especially requested
to see him.
What do you mean?
I'm going in for a surgery in a month's time.
Surgery?
A brain tumor operation.
The doctor said the surgery may affect my memory.
And you are worried you'll not remember Yong Shik,
and that's why you urgently returned?
I will tell him about your surgery.
I believe he won't resist any longer.
No, please don't tell him.
Appearing after a 30 years absence,
I can't let him see me in this condition.
What can be done?
I wish not to pressure him with a meeting.
Being able to see him is sufficient enough
for me to take my leave.
You want me to report you to the Chairman?
What are you going to do?
Do you want to see how far I can go with this
or will you do as I say?
Is that so?
Are you saying that there's nothing special you need report to me?
She's not meeting with Yong Chul either?
Yes.
Turn right.
Didn't we just pass here?
Something's wrong with the GPS.
Why don't you go ask for directions?
Why do I need to ask for directions?
I can find the way.
Drive straight ahead.
We've come back again.
Why can't you go ask for directions?
I can find it.
I have a good sense of direction.
[Sign/Road]
A mine.
What, is the GPS trying to kill us?
Stop fussing, go ask for directions.
But there's nobody here.
Shout and someone will come running.
You do that.
This place is full of land mines. It's too dangerous.
Trace back the route we came to get out.
Omo! Oh my goodness.
Quick, get in.
You've reached your destination.
Where on earth have we reached? This is the wilderness.
The GPS has gone mad.
Give that person a call.
Low battery.
Hello, I'm Hwang Tae Hee who called you earlier.
We're on our way, but...
Hello?
Oh, what to do? No battery.
Ought to charge first before you leave.
Here.
I don't know the number, it's stored in the phone.
No other way but to keep driving.
Huh?
What?
What's happening?
Tires got stuck?
What are we going to do now?
Call for emergency service.
Ah, really!
There are rice fields and trees...
and I can see mountains over there...
Do you know where we are?
I repeat, you will see a rice field...
What field is that?
Do you know what field that is?
I'll call you again later.
I feel the world is against me today.
Nothing's going right.
Cold?
Why? Will you give your coat to me?
I'd be frozen if I did that.
Then you'd have no end of remorsefulness.
I wish to know what life experiences have shaped you the way you are now.
Don't, what are you doing?
You said the world was against you.
I'm offering some reconciliation.
What? Let go.
Do we have the time?
Hurry, the sun is going down.
Let go!
Ophelia confirmed they've received the mail,
but I've yet to obtain their reply.
Really?
How about approaching them directly at the hotel?
That's possible.
No program was scheduled for them today, so they should be at the hotel.
So, General Manager and Hwang Tae Hee are not there yet?
Yes, because their car got stuck in the snow.
Will General Manager catch the flu?
They can't get out today?
I heard it's snowing heavily over there, and it's hindering traffic.
Only the two of them went there?
But there was no work trip planned for today.
They went to check out Hwang Tae Hee's idea about raw materials.
Let's drink our coffee.
I want American style.
Oh, the same every day.
Oh, it's so cold.
It feels good, like we're making a movie.
What's so good?
You want a piece?
What is it?
My daughter gave me this to share with my friends.
I'm your friend?
Chewing gum lessens the cold feeling.
Oh, great work.
Once again.
Ohhh. Wow, that's really excellent.
For men,
praising them could unify the north and south.
Unable to get a response to the number you dialed.
You'll be transferred to the voice mail.
Ready to set out now?
Hello, everybody! Right now there's a lot of snow is coming down at Kanwon-Young Dong area.
Heavy snow going up to 30 cm.
Here's the report from Choi Soon Gi reporter. Baek Yeo Jin..
Reporter?
Baek Yeo Jin,
I'm sorry. Can we postpone seeing the representative to tomorrow?
Why? Worried about Hwang Tae Hee?
Let's go.
I say let's go together.
Aren't you going to go help her?
So am I. Let's go then.
You mean, you're going to Kangwon-do this time of day?
Just Joon Soo and you?
Heavy snowfall is reported there. Go tomorrow.
Today you might not make it back, then you both...
Hello. Hello!
Hey! Do you work!
Let's reset for a while before we continue.
What? Why rest?
We have a mountain to pass.
Carry on if you want, I'm not going any further.
"What misfortune I have to bear because of this jerk"
is on your mind, right?
You studied mind reading?
No I didn't study mind reading. It's just that you are easy to read
like an open book.
Read what my expression is telling you now.
Beginning to have feelings for me.
Wrong answer.
Wrong?
How did you come to this place?
Don't tell me there's only one spare room?
No, I've plenty of vacant rooms.
Is that so?
We'd like two rooms separated far apart.
One at that end and the other at that end if possible.
At the rest-stand ahead, let's stop for a while.
We can buy hot beverages.
I'll buy coffee.
Okay.
Unable to get a response to the number you dialed.
[Goo Yong Shik]
[Bong Joon Soo]
Yes?
Is anything the matter, Team Leader Bong Joon Soo?
Is my wife with you?
Yes, why?
Why?
Get her.
Answer the call.
Who is it?
Answer it and you'll know.
Hello.
It's me.
What?
What's the matter?
Do you need help?
Help?
Are you in any chance in need of my help?
Not likely.
Joon Soo, coffee.
Sounds like you have a friend. Anything else?
No.
Then goodbye.
What was that?
What did he say?
Nothing, here.
He called because he suspected we're together?
Would you like your dinner together?
If you don't mind, I'll just set one table.
- Okay. - No.
Isn't it sensible to eat in the room? It's freezing out here.
It's fine and airy.
My foot. Would I eat you up if we had dinner in the room?
You want me to shut up and eat?
Oh, you read my mind again?
Eat up, it's delicious.
Not setting out?
If we set out now, we'll arrive late in the night.
Let's return to Seoul.
Huh?
Why?
I believe this is the better choice.
I asked Hyun Joo to look into it and
found out that the representative is visiting Insa-Dong tomorrow.
Shall we go there tomorrow too?
Baek Yeo Jin,
thank you for coming with me.
Otherwise, I would be despondent.
Hungry?
Let's find a good place to eat.
Here you go.
Can I...
ask you something?
Sure.
What makes you so industrious lately?
I heard you met your mother.
You went abroad, right?
Although, I'm grateful that you came back,
you turned into a workaholic all of a sudden
like a new and strange person.
You believe that I'll be forever a carefree person,
but you're not absolutely right.
I'm ranked B amongst the Aces.
So, you aspire to be an Ace of the Aces?
Yes, I want to be that.
You dream big.
What's your dream?
Me?
My dream is simple.
Since it's the beginning of new year, I wish to have a dream of pig. (pig means you'll get rich)
After that dream I'll buy a winning lottery ticket.
What's next after the lottery?
You guess the title of a book I bought yesterday.
Can't guess.
"How to Make 50 Million out of 50,000."
If a person has money, anything are possible.
The only problem is that when a person has no money, right?
You might not be able to understand this.
Because of money, one can fall out of
love which once could've died for...
because of money, one can betray the trust...
Many unexpected things happen because of money.
And for money, I quarreled with him enough.
Thinking back, it was unnecessary.
How to make it vanish?
What?
Your past five years of memories, when will it vanish?
About five years?
It's cold... oh, oh, it's too cold.
What do you want?
I can't afford to wait a long time.
What did you say?
What did you mean just now?
You want to know?
You want to know, then I'll say it.
But it's not something you like to hear.
Go ahead and say it.
What is it?
I said I can't afford to wait a long time.
So can you...
come to me now?
Could it be you have a boyfriend?
You're afraid I went on a trip with a guy.
I've found out that...
Ophelia's representative likes gourmet food.
It's Gourmet Food Center, right?
The cuisines of our country are very extensive.
Would you like, uh, Jajangmyun?
The plane ticket has been reserved.?
The departure time is tomorrow night.
Unnie, unnie! That woman went into brother-in-law's house.
As a woman, why always so messy in eating?
Let me.
I have something to tell you.
What is it?
