Let me introduce everyone. This is Ms. Young-mi Chon.
- Nice to meet you. - I look forward to working with you.
This is Mr. Jin-woo Kim.
- Nice to meet you. - Hello.
- Ms. Seon-kyeong Choi. - Nice to meet you.
Mr. Jong-jin Kim.
Nice to meet you.
And the team's youngest member, Ms. Mi-do Seo.
Nice to meet you, Ms. Seo.
Hello.
As the youngest, I'll probably ask you to do errands.
That's fine, sir.
Director Lee starts Monday, but he wanted to say hello.
Prepare a grand welcoming party for next week.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Ms. Seo, I didn't hear your reply.
Yes, sir.
Next, our legal team. Let's go.
See everyone on Monday.
How do you like the atmosphere?
Great, especially my team.
And it'll get better once you join us.
You can bet on it.
Great. And honestly...
Stop being so obvious.
Why not? I'm all for intraoffice dating.
You're the CEO, not any old employee.
What will the others think?
Probably, oh, our boss likes Ms. Mi-do Seo.
That's no good!
They'll gossip about you and start ostracizing me.
So keep away. Why are you so clueless?
I'm ignorant, sue me.
And don't send chat messages either.
If it pops up while I'm not here, the others will see it.
Enough already. I get what you're saying.
Mad?
Yes.
Kid.
- Well? - Huh?
You stopped talking mid-sentence.
It's nothing, never mind.
This way.
I purchase and remodel luxury homes then resell them.
It's fun and lucrative work.
I rent out villas with antique furniture to foreign executives.
Pretty much anything that makes money.
My assistant had to go abroad for his children's education.
Can you fill his place?
I'm clueless about this stuff. I wouldn't be much help.
Tae-sang hasn't decided on your position at his office.
I want to work for him.
What if he says it's okay if you work with me?
Is this about your feelings for Tae-sang?
You're so honest it's brutal.
I'm sorry.
You're right, I want to keep you near and stay updated on Tae-sang's latest.
Then he and I will have more connecting us.
Do you know who he's dating right now?
Did he tell you that he's dating?
No, not exactly, but I could tell.
I'm the only one who can handle that man.
He'll realize it someday.
Let's visit one more antique store.
Um, Ms. Youngest?
Mi-do... Seo...? Mi-do Seo, right?
Yes, sir.
Show me around the Il-san site.
Right now?
Yes, I borrowed the company car.
Well? Let's get going.
I'll be heading home afterwards.
I'll see everyone on Monday morning.
Uncomfortable being alone with the new guy?
I'm fine.
You look exactly like someone I know.
I met an attractive woman on a trip. You have the same face AND name.
Why didn't you tell me about your job?
When did we have the time? You never gave me the chance.
Besides, how was I supposed to know that you worked there?
Don't worry, I won't bother you.
I distinctly remember being rejected by you.
It looks different from the 3D digital model.
Truly amazing.
I'll give you the comprehensive presentation on Monday.
I really respect Mr. Tae-sang Han.
Hello?
Whatcha doing?
I'm touring the site with Director Lee.
Right, I forgot.
You'll head straight home afterwards?
Most likely.
He's checking everything in minute detail.
What are you doing tomorrow? I want to take you somewhere.
I'm going to a dry sauna with Eun-hye.
Dry sauna?
Can I come along? I've never been to one.
Eun-hye wouldn't feel comfortable.
I'll postpone seeing her.
I'll pick you up tomorrow.
Okay, bye.
I see that we're behind schedule.
The construction was delayed due to the extreme cold.
Oh, right.
Working in temperatures below zero can cause more defects.
How do you know that?
I worked part-time at a construction site.
For exercise, back when we used to need charity.
Please don't bring that up in the office.
That we used to receive charity together.
Why would I bring it up?
I was rejected.
No need to worry.
What's the progress over there? Shouldn't it be the top priority?
Oh.
That area is being repaired.
Move, out of the way!
Oh no!
This is terrible. I told you to stay away.
Here, use this for now.
Sorry, sorry.
This is definitely a problem.
Our fault for coming in here.
What a memorable first day.
Let's go.
Hey.
You're awfully good-natured about this.
The subconscious is so important.
I always wanted to visit a dry sauna when I came to Korea.
And here I am.
Your nice clothes were ruined.
They were cheap thrift shop threads. Looked expensive on me, right?
Here, come closer.
Huh?
So that's what it feels like.
What the--? Are you crazy?
This is what people do in dramas.
I finally understand why.
I still put on pain relief patches because my forehead hasn't healed.
The room is spinning. I need to lie down.
I'll find out if there's a clothing store nearby.
We're wearing clothes now.
I'll drop you off at your house. You can run into the house.
You want to leave in these clothes?
Worried that your man will be waiting in the bookstore?
It's not like that.
Find a clothing store. I'm going to keep warm here.
Feels so good.
The employees haven't said anything about yesterday.
Good.
Better a fight than getting on your knees.
It wasn't the smartest move, but you showed that you value your people.
Jae-hee came to the office today.
I saw him in the hallway earlier.
It might not be a good idea to mention that he's Chang-hee's brother.
There's a crazy rumor about Chang-hee being a legendary gangster.
No need to tell people.
Boss, why aren't you using the cosmetics?
Can I have them instead?
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Man, no facial masks.
Dong-gu, ever received lotion from a woman?
Of course, and that's not all.
Clothes, shoes. Even money.
So does it mean she likes you if she gives you cosmetics?
Of course, she's concerned about her man's skin.
I see.
Seong-ju has been looking out for you for years now.
The four of us should have dinner sometime.
I've never given rings before. Which one first?
It's entirely up to you, but usually the matching rings first.
Then most guys propose with the engagement ring.
Is that right? How complicated.
How's the fit?
Fits well.
Want to go to the Salvation Army nearby?
Sleeping?
Is he already asleep?
I'm dreaming.
Oh my god.
You're in my dreams, wearing dry sauna clothes.
What am I doing?
Canceling your rejection.
Time to wake up. Let's go buy clothes.
Just ten more minutes. I'm nice and toasty.
Why choose this job with your great education?
Are you belittling Golden Tree?
I'm telling our CEO.
You could've gotten a great job abroad.
Remember what I said at Guam?
Tae-sang Han is the man who helped me out.
He didn't ask me to come, but I wanted to help him.
That wasn't necessary.
Plenty of people received scholarships from him.
Why are you working for him?
You can say that I received a scholarship.
He helps out a lot of people.
Why aren't you answering?
Mi, do.
Mi, do!
How interesting that I can call your name with musical notes.
I'm gonna do it occasionally.
Am I a dog? Why are you calling my name like that?
What dog answers musical notes?
A Mozart pup?
You're going to start work on Monday?
Of course.
We'll see each other every day.
Have lunch together and pull all-nighters.
I was rejected, but my heart still flutters.
Because I was rejected, it hurts to face you.
Let's go shopping.
Shopping it is.
You chose those clothes to be funny?
No, I happen to think I look super cool.
Can you come to work in that outfit?
If that's what you want. Give the order.
Wear that to work.
Yes, ma'am.
I'll choose your outfit.
Why the delay? Hurry up.
Looks great on you.
Lookin' good! Wear that to work on Monday.
Come on, you told me to wear this.
Choose me something else.
Wait, hold on a sec.
No pictures. Pick another outfit.
Hurry, hurry.
Do you like?
What are you doing?
One, two, three!
Relax your body and lean.
One, two.
I cut loose and gained two pounds.
I have to skip dinner the entire week.
How about a break?
Tae-sang, you called?
I wanted to buy that dinner that I promised you.
Okay, where shall we go for dinner?
How about that sushi restaurant?
Okay, I'll be there.
The diet starts tomorrow.
You worked this late without eating?
I had a few things to do.
I want to drink tonight.
Can you take me home? I didn't bring my car.
Okay. A drink.
Cheers.
I look a total mess. I came straight from exercising.
No, you look great.
Really?
What kind of exercise?
Pilates.
Want to join me? It's fun.
Isn't pilates for women?
Sometimes you're a total kid.
Boys do this, girls do this.
I ran away from a yoga class once because I was the only guy there.
People think you're macho, but you're nothing but a kid.
That's enough.
I'm not scared of you.
There you are. Come on in.
I invited the boys. We talked about getting together.
Good, come on in.
Yeah, have a seat.
We should be grilling meat at a street stall.
That's nonsense, I love sushi.
Let's drink.
Chang-hee, why didn't you bring Jae-hee?
He wasn't home.
Not yet?
Bye.
[I felt relieved yet sad. - from a special day]
You wrote that quote?
How'd you know?
I think you wrote it the day you rejected me.
It's not like that.
Let's have dinner next time. Take care.
- Dad. - Hi.
Hello, sir.
What's going on?
What's with the get-up?
What a strange coincidence. Same office, old neighbors.
This is what you call a match made in heaven.
How can you say that when you have a girlfriend?
Well, actually, sir...
Who was that man?
Oh, him?
He wants to publish a book.
Really?
He's seeking literary contest winners who never went professional.
Getting a few to write a commentary or a travel essay.
That's great, Dad. You should do it.
That's why you're looking at your old work?
Just feeling nostalgic.
They make my fingertips tingle and make me feel like writing.
Can I get a signed copy of your book?
Stop acting chummy and get going.
Yes, sir.
I'll look forward to reading your book, Writer Seo.
I'm not a writer.
What happened to the teddies? From Guam?
I brought them both.
Can I have one?
No?
So greedy.
I gave you the CD that I won.
Fine, wait here.
Here, catch!
Throw it.
Did you name it?
No.
How's Mi-dol? Mi-dol Seo.
What? I don't like it.
I do.
Mi-dol Seo.
Bye.
Really?
We were totally caught.
Tae-sang, can I have Chang-hee?
My assistant Mr. Park had to quit.
As you wish. Take him.
Boss.
Chang-hee's mine starting today.
Seong-ju, you can have me.
Are you really the youngest?
Tae-sang and Chang-hee look younger.
I suffered too much when I was a little kid.
Right, you had a hard time living in Dong-gu Village.
Not funny.
Dong-gu who lived outside Dong-gu Village.
Seriously.
What's with the unfunny joke? So lame.
Still cracking corny jokes, like always.
I'm always the same.
Still loving Tae-sang Han, still waiting for Tae-sang Han.
Come on, take a shot. Take a shot.
I'll start, that direction.
Of the three women, one had a pretty face.
The second was very voluptuous.
The third was rich but I was hung up on the curvy one...
We're going for another round. Have a good night.
Don't drink too much tonight.
Next time we'll grill meat. It's on me.
Okay.
- I love you. - Good night.
Love you, love you so much.
- What next? - Ow, that hurts.
Wait in the car, I'll call a chauffeur service.
Okay.
They'll be here soon...
You bought matching rings for us?
No.
Then whose is it?
You left a ring for another woman for me to find in your car?
Seong-ju.
Can't you leave some room for doubt?
Call me every day, send me texts.
Meet up for dinner and watch a movie.
Maybe this guy likes me.
Maybe he's just shy.
I want to have that fantasy.
I think you're drunk. I'll go buy some coffee.
I already know you'll hurt me.
You won't accept me, but in the meanwhile,
can't you let me enjoy the dream of a possibility?
I can't do that.
You're a good friend to me.
Friend?
Are you so distant with your other friends?
Right, you don't have friends.
You're right, I have no friends.
You don't know yourself well.
You're a cold, lonely and dangerous man.
I'm the only woman who can handle you.
I'm sorry, Seong-ju.
I currently like someone else.
So?
Seong-ju.
[My newest strength is called love.]
The word Mi-dol now represents a fond memory.
Good night.
Your weekly pay.
It's fine, I only need meals.
That's not fair to you.
I open early in the morning so stop by for breakfast.
Auntie.
My dear Ddol-yi has a lot of sorrow inside.
You're constantly tearing up.
No, I just yawned.
Right.
Welcome.
Would you like a bowl?
Yeah, sure, whatever.
Ladle out a warm bowl.
Hong-ja, right?
It's me, Cabbage. Your cousin.
Don't you remember, you gave me my nickname?
I always wear green, like a cabbage worm.
It's been a while.
How could you go into hiding? Everyone thought you were dead.
We thought you committed suicide together with that man...
Ddol-yi, go buy some eggs.
The store next door is pricy. Go to the market down the street.
Okay.
How did you find me?
It wasn't hard.
You went to the fish market recently? I provide their Styrofoam boxes.
I was shocked to see you, so I followed you.
Pretend you never found me. Don't tell anyone.
How long will you hide like this?
It was a huge scandal on your part, but that was years ago, no?
Get out. Don't ever come back.
I don't have any bus fare.
Take everything and leave.
I was just kidding. Think I came here for money?
I'm just upset that you're chasing me away.
Please, pretend you never saw me.
I'd do anything you ask. We were the closest among our cousins.
Have some dinner.
Did you know that Tae-sang is a successful businessman?
His wealth in cash is within the top twenty in the nation.
He hasn't gotten married yet. He lives alone in a huge house.
After you left, he lived with my family for a month.
It really hurt to watch him break down.
Where did he go after a month?
I heard that he was taken away by gangsters.
He was always a smart kid. He totally pulled himself together.
This is the end of your troubles. I'll go to Tae-sang tomorrow and--
Cabbage.
Yes?
If you contact Tae-sang, I'll kill you and then myself.
Hong-ja, that's not funny.
I have nothing more to lose.
I have no problem killing you.
I just felt bad that you're hard up.
Get out.
See you next time.
Okay, Hong-ja.
I can keep a secret. Don't worry, Hong-ja.
No need to worry.
You don't have to worry.
- Over there, please. - Okay.
This way, please.
Over here.
This direction.
That's perfect. Thank you.
Mi-do likes men who play the piano.
I don't want to play the piano. Only girls take piano lessons.
You should learn it and play it for your girlfriend someday.
Aren't you meeting Mr. Han? Hurry up and get ready.
You should go to the bathhouse. That'll make you look refreshed.
No, thanks.
Jeez.
Why did Mr. Han's mother leave him?
I dunno.
It's not normal for a mother to ditch her kid.
I hope he never finds his mother.
That's terrible. How can you say that?
What, now that he's successful, she's allowed to come back into his life?
I don't want a woman like her as Mi-do's mother-in-law.
Whose mother-in-law? They aren't married yet.
Who says they ever will?
Oh, don't you remember what she told us that day?
She likes Mr. Han, too.
Life is full of twists and turns. You can't ever predict anything.
Don't push Mr. Han away because of your darn pride.
Men are such fools. Full of complexes.
Love can always change.
Mi-do, feel like a change?
I messed up my fingernails from working out too hard.
Look who it is? We use the same beauty salon.
I should find a new place.
I usually come on Saturdays, so come on a weekday.
Not gonna thank me? I settled with the guys.
Thank you.
Guess Tae-san didn't tell you anything.
Thank you.
Tell me what?
Ask him yourself.
Gonna change your hair? Don't perm it, it's beautiful.
Don't dye it either.
You are always slighting me.
The same way Tae-sang slights you.
The president's office.
Can I help you?
Is Mr. Tae-sang Han here?
He doesn't work on the weekends.
Jeez, what a terrible COE.
Can't get ahead working like everyone else.
COE?
CO...
I mean, CEO.
How do you know Mr. Han?
We're family.
Tell Tae-sang that his Uncle Cabbage came by.
Your exact name, please.
What's your title?
I'm the chief secretary.
You're so inflexible!
Tell him that Chun-bok Bae stopped by.
Change-hee, get up.
Get up, I made you honey water.
Okay, okay.
Who did you drink with?
What time did I get home?
Around three.
Ow, headache.
Who did you drink with?
First with Tae-sang, then with Dong-gu.
Yeah? You drank with good friends.
Did you have fun?
Yeah.
Tae-sang is happy that you came.
He's glad you joined his work family.
I really like it there, too.
Tae-sang's strict when it comes to work.
Don't think he'll cut you any slack.
He should stay on his toes. I won't cut HIM any slack.
I'm gonna sleep another hour.
Did you have a nightmare?
Why?
Did I talk in my sleep?
You mumbled in your sleep. Sounded like you were being chased.
Man, it's been too long since I last drank.
Things are okay now, right?
What?
Never mind.
Let's go out, I'll buy you ribs.
Later. I have something to do first.
Like what?
I have to make a condolence call.
Good morning.
Morning.
Who wrote the quote? It's nice.
Not sure.
Get in.
Hold on.
Please get in.
That wasn't necessary.
Mi-do, how could you leave this behind?
What is that?
The lunch you packed.
Mr. Han, she woke up early to make coffee and fruit salad.
Oh. Really?
I know restaurants are everywhere, but this is more fun. Thank you.
Have a great time.
See you later.
Have fun.
Bye.
"See you later." Haven't said that in forever.
"I'm off," "see you later." I envied people who got to say them.
You're surprisingly sentimental.
Surprisingly?
Yes, surprisingly.
I'm a very sensitive man, you know.
Where are we going?
To twenty-one years ago.
This is where I used to live.
I used to say "see you later" every day.
You lived here until you were seventeen?
Yeah.
I was happy here.
What is the happiest and best memory of your life?
I don't remember being happy much.
I can't really say.
Mine was here, twenty-one years ago.
I had just placed first on the mock test.
My homeroom teacher told me I could get into any college I wanted.
I was bursting with joy.
The old music teacher left a song on.
I was so filled with hope, I thought life would go my way.
That's the happiest memory I have.
But when I went home, my mother and brother were gone.
From one extreme to another.
Having happy memories can be a huge burden on people.
You want to go back, but it's impossible.
But happy memories can also give you strength.
Keep you from hitting rock bottom.
You think?
Can I be happy now? With you by my side?
I'm hungry, let's go eat.
Let's go to an exhibit after lunch, okay?
I prepared a lot for our date, didn't I?
Please forgive me.
Forgive me.
I'll pay for everything when I'm dead.
Please don't collect on your debt while my brother and I are alive.
He's ten years younger.
Taemin would be all grown up now if he were alive.
You haven't heard any news?
None.
Why did your mother leave with your brother?
Oh.
She fell in love with another man.
My brother's art teacher. He was married, too.
Though I heard they broke up later.
And not too long after, Taemin went missing.
But I have this feeling that I'll meet him someday.
I'm sure that you will.
He'll be glad to find that you're so successful now.
Here's your phone.
[Jae-hee Lee]
Hello?
What are you doing?
Hello, Director Lee. I'm listening.
Why are you calling me that? Are you with someone?
Yes, I'm fine. Go ahead.
I was heading over to buy books and wanted to ask you for coffee.
I'm afraid I can't today. I'll give you the documents tomorrow.
I understand.
Okay, good-bye.
Is he at the office?
No, I don't think so. He just wanted some documents.
I'm glad he's so passionate, but he shouldn't call on the weekend.
Don't say anything. He's just full of drive.
Mi-do.
Yes?
"Jae-hee Lee."
You should've saved his name as "Director Lee."
He might feel insulted.
Right.
I saved it in a hurry. I'll change it.
Jae-hee is a close friend. Be good to him.
I will.
You've been upset all day. Is something wrong?
No.
You've been like this since we met.
I'm fine.
Um...
Want to go for a walk?
Why? Have something to say?
Huh?
Shall we sit?
Wait, hold up.
Here.
Wow, look at the stars.
I've never done this before in my life.
Here, try the ring on.
I'll be honest. I don't want the ring.
Why haven't you explained about that day?
That day?
You beat a lot of people up in front of all the employees.
Why haven't you explained yourself?
I've been in a bad mood ever since that day.
I'm sorry about that.
That's it?
I didn't want you to see me kneel.
I hit them because they hit you. That's all.
I'm scared.
Of what?
Tae-sang Han, you.
You hit them until your fists were bloody.
After visiting your old house and hearing your story,
I do feel sympathetic towards you.
But I'm in no mood to wear matching rings.
I'm sorry.
No, I understand.
Go home.
Why are woman so darn complicated?
I'm ashamed I got into a fistfight in front of the woman I like.
And now I have to explain all my reasons in detail?
I won't do it!
You and I were too different from the start.
I know you're trying hard, but you don't like me.
So?
So let's end things here.
Isn't that what you wanted to hear?
Look, I'm sorry.
For beating up someone. For not apologizing sooner.
For being a gangster.
For loving you.
I apologize for it all.
Wear the ring or throw it away.
You know I'm a fool.
There's a woman I want to protect and spend every day with.
But I don't know what to say to her.
I've never forgotten you these past seven years.
Please let me help you in some way.
Don't worry about money. Consider yourself a new person.
Dress up, sightsee and eat delicious food.
Hello.
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Hi.
What time is the morning meeting?
It's at ten. Ms. Seo left material on your desk.
Thank you, Mi-do.
How was your business trip?
Good.
Your relative Chun-bok Bae came by.
Why?
He didn't say. He just told me to tell you he came.
Anything else happen?
No.
I see.
It's everywhere online.
Don't answer any questions.
Tell them that our PR department will release a statement.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Does this kind of thing happen often?
Probably not.
The circumstances are important in this case.
Please gather in the lounge. The president wants to have tea.
I apologize for the chaos caused.
I also apologize for not explaining things earlier.
May I say something?
It's clear that he brought thugs and created a tense atmosphere.
They demanded the humiliation of our CEO.
They attacked our employee, Mi-do Seo, first.
We'll use the security camera footage to support our side.
That'll put them at a disadvantage, no?
They'll get what they deserve.
It's not that simple because of Chang-hee.
We'll do our best to make sure the resort opens in time.
The Hong Kong investor canceled.
He's afraid you'll hit him, too.
Don't go to Yong-gab. I'll handle this on my own.
The team wrote a press release.
Please tell us if anything needs to be edited.
Okay.
Subtitles provided by MBC
I know an accomplished young man with an MBA from abroad.
I wanted to set you up.
Want me to tell your brother that you commited murder for Tae-sang?
Let's die together.
He's wearing a ring. Know who he's dating?
It's not Seong-ju Baek?
Do you like dolls? How very UNmanly.
I asked a girl for it. Who wears your matching ring?
