Powerful Opponents
Episode 6
Why did you become a bodyguard exactly?
What?
Is it because you want to get into the good books of your superiors?
Or is it to protect the president and his family well?
Both. Why?
Does Ahjumma work with my father?
Daddy!
Is it a fact that Yoo Gwan Pil has a daughter which he hid?
Cha Young Jin, you like her.
So this time, I'm going to take her from you.
What do you think?
What are you saying?
What's with Nam Do Woo?
He is more or less involved with the Yoo Gwan Pil rumor.
Rumor? What rumor?
Kim Byung Wook has already briefed us on it.
By not telling us, you will not become a hero.
Putting the love for a low-down colleague as a first priority, wanting to protect him.
It's better that you don't.
The situation now, compared to the love for your colleague,
requires more of your sense of righteousness.
In case that you dare to lie...
about this problem will seriously damage your ethical position as a bodyguard.
If that's the case, your life as a bodyguard will not be as smooth.
I'm going to ask you one last time.
Does Yoo Gwan Pil have daughter whom he's been hiding from us?
Answer the question - is there or isn't there?
Hey! Cha Young Jin!
That ...
That is...
So...
So...that...
Director, I will explain everything.
Section Chief.
You three can leave.
Didn't you hear me telling you to leave?
Take Cha Young Jin and Kim Byoung Wook out.
I didn't know things would go this far.
Sorry, Young Jin.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Were you surprised?
Or, are you just feigning shock?
Cha Young Jin is a bodyguard trained to protect you.
So what?
When you played those childish games, did you ever think of the harm it would bring to Cha Young Jin?
No.
If I thought about those details, then I wouldn't be able to play this game whole heartedly.
If it's not childish, then all the fun in this game would disappear.
Sorry, but as much as I have no desire to play games with you,
I don't have any selfish motives towards Cha Young Jin.
If you're so disinterested, then why are you so worried about her?
Because she's my colleague and partner.
Is that really all?
That's all.
So, that's it.
Right. That's it.
What did you say?
I asked them not to question matters regarding Yoo Gwan Pil anymore.
I cannot understand.
What?
When I looked at Yoo Gwan Pil's personal data, it clearly states that he's single.
He's not married, so, of course, he's single.
He's single, that's why he wrote single. Why? Is there a problem?
But he has a daughter.
In the personal data that I received, this wasn't reflected.
Having a daughter has nothing to do with the qualifications to become a bodyguard.
The problem I have
is because Yoo Gwan Pil hid this fact.
Being a bodyguard, from an ethical standpoint, this is intolerable.
If you can't tolerate it from an ethical standpoint,
then can't you understand it from a colleague's point of view? Won't that do?
Section Chief.
So from the start, you should've come to me.
Why did you feel the need to bypass me and go directly to the training director,
causing such a disturbance?
If you came and asked me, wouldn't I have explained it to you?
I already spoke to the training director.
This matter is closed.
Understand?
What is your reason for protecting him?
Is it because of Yoo Gwan Pil's relationship with the president?
So you don't want to create trouble unnecessarily. Is that it?
What are you saying?
Relationship? What relationship?
I thought that at least division chief Pyo was a fair and just person.
I thought you wouldn't look at someone's background or connections,
and you would judge that person based only on his abilities.
But?
But this is what organized society is like, after all.
I didn't know that I'd have to learn a new skill like this, Section Chief.
- Look here, Do Woo. - I'll be taking my leave.
Hey, Do Woo! Hey, rascal!!
That rascal, he ...
No wonder there was such a foul smell.
Is that why you were so pretentious?
Because you have someone with power that is backing you?
Indeed. You have someone in your corner,
so why would you fear me, a superior that is only one level higher? Right?
Please explain, so that I can understand.
What are you saying?
You rascal, don't look down on the rest of the world.
Don't try to make me look the fool.
Maybe those above have much to consider so they're turning a blind eye,
But not me.
No matter who you have as your backer, I don't care. Understand what I'm saying?
I don't understand a thing you're saying.
Just what did I do wrong?
Having a daughter outside of marriage,
keeping that fact perfectly hidden,
deceiving me!
You see...
A fellow like you with moral issues, misbehaving and going around with your bodyguard qualifications...
I absolutely won't stand for it.
Now, do you understand?
Bodyguard Yoo Gwan Pil.
I'll explain. What happened is ...
Say no more.
Don't explain.
You'll only be trying to make excuses.
Episode 6: Trust or Not Namely, the question of whether or not to trust!
Thank you.
Daddy.
Ggot Nim.
Did you get home okay from school?
Have you eaten dinner?
Because I was doing homework, I forgot to eat my dinner.
Ahjumma didn't come today, either?
Ahjumma's grandson is still sick.
So, she has to look after him.
She might not be able to come this week at all.
She called a little while ago.
She said she couldn't get through to you, so she called me.
So, I said it was okay if she couldn't come.
How can it be okay?
I am 8 years old now.
8 years old is considered grown-up Daddy.
I came back from school today.
I washed my hands and feet and did everything myself.
Just wait a minute. I'll change and cook dinner for you.
But daddy, you're face looks strange today.
Is it really difficult?
Or, are you sick?
Or, did something bad happen at work?
No, I'm not tired or sick.
And nothing happened at the office.
So, you don't have to keep worrying about my expression.
Don't worry about Daddy's face, Miss GGot Nim.
Wait, I'll be right back.
You've got to make it so I don't have to worry.
Cha Young Jin
He's not answering?
What do we do? Is he really angry?
But, I really didn't know that it would turn into such a big deal.
It was just too unreal that such a strict fella has such a small, tender, and pretty daughter.
Think about it. If she's in first grade, it means that Gwan Pil had her when he was 21.
Such a pretentious fella who acts like bad luck,
making a mistake and having a child at such a young age.
This is a situation so unlike Yoo Gwan Pil, so I...
Enough.
Don't say anymore.
Sorry, Young Jin.
If I put you in an awkward position, then I'm really sorry.
Even if I had 10 mouths, I still wouldn't say anything good.
Young Jin.
There are still three days left.
Until now, both of you've done really well.
In the remaining three days, nothing should happen. I'm counting on you.
Just keep doing things the way you've been.
For the next three days, just help us out.
Don't cause any commotion for the public affairs team, alright?
Don't touch other people's stuff.
Cha Young Jin?
Why do you have something of hers?
Cha Young Jin dropped it.
And I picked it up.
Satisfied?
Why is the atmosphere like this today?
Did you have a lovers' quarrel?
If that is the case, then save it for after work.
It makes the surrounding people uneasy. What are you both up to?
Playing video games, sports fighting, and idling one's time away isn't enough?
Now, you're drawing connections between bodyguards who work together?
Doesn't your brain think of anything else, besides that?
What other thoughts does my brain need?
For example, showing basic courtesy to others.
That stuff is too bothersome, so I don't want to.
Then, how about the minimum consideration for mankind.
That I can't do because I'm too narrow-minded.
Shouldn't you at least have the will to try?
If I had the will to do what's right, would you play along with me,
Cha Young Jin?
Don't you get it?
Do you want me to explain it more simply?
Do you have the desire to be in a relationship with me,
Cha Young Jin?
This game, I am confiscating for the time being.
And..
Start wallpapering.
Doing community service is to benefit society,
enlightening yourself while you're taking your punishment,
and reflecting upon on your mistakes. Isn't it?
Then you should be doing that.
Go do it. Apply the paste.
What?
While I'm still saying it nicely, go apply the paste.
Keep going on like this, and you may end up hitting someone.
If you do it well, you won't get beaten up.
Don't do it well, and you will.
Move, I'm going outside.
The wallpaper is not done yet.
What does that have to do with me?
Move aside.
Did you hit me just now?
I was merely blocking.
Let go! Won't you let go?
Then you have to promise not to run off before you're done with the wallpaper.
Then, I'll let you go.
What if I don't?
Then there's no other way.
You'll have to be beaten to a pulp in the garden in front of many people.
A bodyguard wanting to use violence on the President's son?
Do you want to get fired?
If I say that it's to stop you from running off and defying the community service order,
if that's the case, I would get rewarded for doing a good job.
Actually, I wanted to just let it go,
but reflecting on the actions of the protectee, I can't let it go any longer.
Sorry, but just until the end of the community service...
I'll manage you this way.
Please bear with it.
How can there be such a woman?
Here it is.
What's this?
This is my stand towards bodyguard Yoo Gwan Pil.
I feel that you will understand.
[Report of staff's violation of the rules]
How can a woman be so strong?
Does she only eat and do training?
If you have something to say, then say it a little louder.
I can't really hear you.
Do it with a bit more effort.
Only by papering it evenly will it stick on the wall easily.
There, there.
Here, here, here.
Look at that. If you put your mind to it, you can do it well.
Thanks for your hard work.
Tomorrow, please do like you did today.
To release the muscle tension, a hot compress will have a good effect.
Hey.
Let's also have a talk.
About what?
About what happened with Senior Nam Do Woo yesterday.
If it's regarding that, I have nothing to talk about.
I have something to say. Hold on.
Just hold on.
I already said I have nothing to talk about. Why are you such a bother?
I don't wish to speak to anyone regarding yesterday's matter.
And I don't wish to hear about it.
So don't say another word.
What are you so afraid of?
What exactly are you so afraid of, that you don't wish to speak or hear about it?
Why?
Are you afraid that your bodyguard career will be cut short because of your daughter?
Shut your mouth.
Or is it like what Senior Nam said that you're one with an arrogant nature?
I said to shut up.
Or is it, because you're ashamed?
Acting cool, acting perfect.
In the end, it was found out that you've got a young daughter.
Are you embarrassed and ashamed?
Is that why you're trying to run away?
Don't hide your feelings to yourself, just let me see them now.
I'm your partner!
I was briefly mistaken, too.
Before I realized you had such a big mouth.
That's why a woman can't do this.
Looks like there's some misunderstanding.
Have a chat with me Cha Young Jin.
What trouble did Nam Do Woo cause exactly?
This is a report on staff's violations.
Looks like Nam Do Woo has already taken it up to the HR department.
The latest is that the hearing for the case would be next week.
What is that for?
It is to address Yoo Gwan Pil's child problem. A new inquiry will be started.
But, what will happen to bodyguard Yoo Gwan Pil?
Don't worry.
I'll try to fix this, and take the responsibility for it.
You'll be taking responsibility? What's does that meaning?
You don't need to know.
The most you'll have to do is to write an apology report or have a salary reduction.
Even the head of the department is being understanding, so...
As long as Nan Do Woo doesn't bring damaging evidence towards you, nothing will happen.
So I want you to be on my side, Cha Young Jin.
You want me?
I heard that during the training, yours and Yoo Gwan Pil's relationship wasn't very good.
And I know that you disliked each other from the time that you became partners.
Because you're a woman, he looks down on you constantly. I know that as well.
It's the same with this incident.
If that rascal really took you as his colleague,
he would've listened to you to find out what happened.
Aren't I right?
- That 's that, but... - Of course,
I'm not asking you be my witness based on your personal feelings.
Just because he has support, that rascal doesn't hold anyone in regard.
He has to know what the bodyguard section can do.
What do you mean by a strong force from behind?
You don't know?
Who's is backing him?
Wow! That's so cool!
Is that girl really the teacher's daughter?
Yes.
This is my daughter.
My gosh.
It's too cool!
- How come you have such a superb daughter? - So envious.
This is called a "Dragon from streamlet". (*A black hen laying white eggs)
That's what they say .
You are saying... that I am a stream?
I can't say you're a vast ocean, can I Mister Cha?
But, why are you here today?
What else can I do at a dance studio?
Stamp it.
Don't owe and drag it out for days, waste of time again.
Is it so fun to make other's lives difficult?
If I am not so hard on you, you won't fork over the money.
I got it.
Here.
See?
Once I'm hard on you, you'll give it up so smoothly.
Such a nice smell.
Here.
What's this?
The last time I was here I saw a letter, so I took it.
Looks like it was addressed to Mister Cha.
Why touch someone else's letter?
[Korea National Dance Association]
What? Rumba Kim?
Yes.
Who is Rumba Kim?
He is a legend of the social dancing world of the 90's.
And your father's only rival.
But what ulterior motive could that person have?
Letting you enter the national competition.
That I don't understand as well.
Then are you going to enter the competition?
To enter would be good.
It'll cost money.
Money.
Finding a partner, and if the money for the fees, clothes, shoes can be obtainable.
That sum is not a small amount.
What can we do?
Ask Young Jin for help again?
Ask Young Jin?
Ask Young Jin what?
Ah Young Jin. You just got off from work?
I thought you were working late.
I was thinking, if something happened to our Young Jin?
Why is she so late?
We were just talking about that.
- Definitely nothing to do with money. - Right.
Are you having ramen for dinner again?
We had our dinner already.
This is our snack.
Young Jin, have you had your dinner?
Have you eaten?
I've already eaten.
I'm going up. You guys have a good rest.
Alright, go up and rest.
- Go rest Noona. - Rest is the best.
Have to rest.
We just can't do it to Young Jin.
Even if you have a thick skin, you have to watch your limits.
She just spent out 3 million just a few days ago.
How can we ask again?
That's right.
If it was 2 months later, it would be easier to bring it up.
That's right.
Who is it? Who's that force from behind that's so powerful?
It's the President.
Are you talking about Yoo Gwan Pil?
If it isn't, how can that fella be so high and mighty?
In addition, Section Leader Pyo and Division Head Su,
what is their reason for wanting to quiet down the whole issue this time?
But, the Yoo Gwan Pil I know is someone with a very strong sense of pride.
He is not the type to depend on others.
Do you know Yoo Gwan Pil that well?
Yes, I know him to a certain extent.
Then, you knew from the start that he has a daughter?
That he has someone backing him up?
Did you know that from the start, too?
He is too arrogant, has too many secrets.
- But - You and I...
We're those that start from the very bottom and worked to where we are now.
Until when are we going to tolerate those arrogant people?
Aren't you frustrated?
Shall we have a match?
When we were training, do you remember what the martial arts instructor said?
After training together for sometime,
you start to see exactly what kind of person your opponent is.
- Hi, Gwan Pil. - Yeah...
Gwan Pil, how's your mood right now?
Why?
Well, it's just that I have something important to tell you.
If you are in a good mood, then I'll tell you next time.
If it's about the rumor, then there's no need.
Did you already know?
I'm really sorry, Gwan Pil.
It was just so unreal to see you with a daughter in primary school.
And also, Ggot Nim is so pretty.
How do you know Ggot Nim?
How wouldn't I?
I was the one who brought Ggot Nim to Young Jin.
Your daughter is not only pretty but also really smart.
Similar to Young Jin.
I didn't know she's so clever, cute, smart.
I was thinking of showing off to our colleagues.
Who knew it'd get so big, I really didn't think it'd turn out this way, Gwan Pil.
I'm really sorry.
I really didn't have any bad intentions. You believe me, right?
Are you looking for Young Jin?
Do you know where she went?
She said she was going to head to In Soo moon first by car.
Don't hide your feelings to yourself, just let me see them now.
I'm your partner!
I was briefly mistaken, too.
Before I realized you had such a big mouth.
That's why a woman can't do this.
When we were training, do you remember what the martial arts instructor said?
After training together for sometime,
you start to see exactly what kind of person your opponent is..
Where are you going?
I was just about to accompany Kang Su Ho to his community service activity.
You don't have to go today.
The hearing is scheduled for this afternoon.
Until then, just wait in the office.
We'll see whether or not you're qualified to be a national guard.
You'll know the result today, so just wait in the office until time comes.
Understood?
So I'm replacing him today.
We just got the notice.
Just go look for Senior Nam. He's looking for you.
Yes.
- Cha Young Jin. - Yes?
The office is that way.
Yes.
What happened?
Where's Cha Young Jin and Yoo Gwan Pil?
We'll be accompanying you because they are busy with other things.
Agent Yoo Gwan Pil.
Yes. I'm Yoo Gwan Pil.
Do you have a daughter?
Yes, I do.
Tell me why is the information different?
That..
It's because of me.
Can you tell me the reason?
He was different from the others, from the moment he entered the division.
He is the best among his colleagues.
I already knew that he had a daughter when I saw his profile.
He made a mistake when he was young.
It's a pity to let this become an obstacle in his career.
So?
The person who recruited him already resigned.
I asked him not to register his extramarital daughter in the open records to all staff.
Why?
The first reason.
The colleagues might look at him differently.
So in order to protect him from unwanted incidents that might happen.
The other reason.
I worried of a disadvantage exactly like this.
Disadvantage like this? What do you mean?
This hearing is not about his ability in his work, but it's for another reason.
Just because he has daughter, must he be put through this?
It's not only because he has a daughter.
Within these six months of training, there is a person who knows him best.
She's one person from the same training.
Can we ask her to be a witness?
Ask her to come in.
Come in.
He's still doing the same thing.
Is it alright to leave him like that?
I don't know. He'll do whatever he wants.
Ah.. really!
I'm so bored.
What? Young Jin is a witness?
I don't know. I saw her go into the human resource department.
She and Gwan Pil aren't getting along. Are they gonna end things this way?
The record says that Gwan Pil didn't treat Young Jin fairly based on her gender.
Is that right?
Yes. That's right.
Hey, Cha Young Jin.
Is he distracted in his duties because of his daughter?
That fellow is so arrogant.
He has too many secrets.
I'm asking about officer Yoo Gwan Pil.
I'll ask again, is he neglecting his duties due to his daughter, Agent Cha Young Jin?
Answer quickly.
No, there haven't been any instances like that.
Really?
Then what about the way he treated you? These unfair treatments happened right?
Yes.
But, it's not like I don't have any fault.
I always call him names, argue with him, and show him a bad attitude.
Whenever we bumped into each other, we would fight.
Conflict happens. Competition always happens.
But right now he is my partner who, above anyone else, gives me strength.
I feel that it's a pity if he is punished only because of his daughter.
But, punishing Agent Yoo Gwan Pil because of this incident...
I really think it's not right.
Even when I'm the closest to him, I didn't know he has a daughter.
Doesn't that imply that he's accomplished a perfect and thorough bodyguard service?
Not only is he capable and has a sense of responsibility, but he's second to none.
Please make a wise decision.
Sit down.
The results of the hearing have been sent over.
Firstly, regarding the missing information of Yoo Gwan Pil's daughter.
Write a report of what you did wrong and you get two months of salary deduction.
Any questions?
No, the result is much better than I expected. I appreciate it.
And you, Yoo Gwan Pil.
You can continue your job.
But if this happens again, we'll not stall to transfer you to another department.
Any questions?
No.
Good. Then you can go.
Let's go.
The child's in first grade, isn't she?
Yes.
It must be hard taking care of her by yourself.
Cha Young Jin.
You dare to fool me?
Don't you have any courage?
Or else, do you want to take revenge on me along with him?
After training in martial arts for sometime,
it becomes possible to know your opponent's personality from his attacking style.
What do you mean?
Yoo Gwan Pil and I were partners for six months while training,
And we had several fights together,
so I know his attacking style better than anyone else.
So what?
He always attacks directly and will never use any underhand tactics against his enemy.
He admits defeat when he is defeated and is confident with his own ability.
There's no way that kind of person would ever rely on someone with authority to back him.
So?
I believe in Yoo Gwan Pil's self-respect.
I knew that you were a fool from the start, but I didn't think it was this severe, Cha Young Jin.
With such a bad eye for people, how do you expect to live in this rough world?
In this world, we don't always depend on connections and background to survive.
Why don't you try getting rid of your harmful senses?
Do you want to die in my hands?
That's enough, Do Woo.
They've made their decision. It's over now. That's enough.
Leave.
What are you doing? This is the women's restroom.
It's only used by you and Senior Yang.
Senior Yang is on field duty right now.
That means it's only you now, isn't it?
So are you saying that you don't even see me as a woman now?
Dissapointed? Do you want me to see you as a woman?
Why did you do it?
What?
Why did you take my side?
You know that Senior Nam will make you suffer for it.
You're right. I am regretting it now.
I'm sorry...
for misunderstanding you.
And thank you,
for believing in me in spite of it all.
Hey.
We're still partners, right?
If you still think that way.
Oh! Do you think Kang Su Ho is doing his work?
10,000 Won says he's playing his game.
What are you staring at?
Is this the first time you've seen someone wallpapering?
What? No.
Are you just going to stand there?
There are still two houses left. Aren't you going to help?
Yes, understood. We'll help.
Su Ho?
Yes.
Did he call you himself?
Yes.
When are those two coming back?
I feel like screaming.
If this continues, I may feel like causing more trouble.
I don't know what happened, but just deal with it quickly.
and send those two people back here.
To be honest, I never imagined he would make such a phone call.
That's true.
Whatever happened, he started to open himself up. That's fortunate.
Oh, and Gwan Pil having a daughter, is that certain?
Yes, it's been verified.
She's in the first grade.
Then, she's 8 years old this year.
Yes.
Eight years old.
Then, was it because of her?
Su Ryeon.
Mother.
What are you still doing here?
I was going to say goodbye to father.
It looks like he is busy with guest.
Really?
I'm going first.
You send my regards to father.
Alright. Drive carefully.
Yes.
Right, Su Ryeon.
Yes?
Tomorrow is the last day of Su Ho's community service activity,
Shall we go and give him support?
Why don't we go to cheer him on, and help him with the papering a little?.
We would have to first discuss it with the organizer.
Really?
True, if we try to help him directly, the media could make up rumors.
It's better not to go.
Yu Min will take care of it. Don't worry.
I know, just go.
Yes.
Gwan Pil having a daughter, is that certain?
Yes. She's in the first grade.
It's finally finished.
How do you feel? Don't you feel good, now that it's all finished?
Feel good? It was merely tiring.
You must be tired.
You've worked hard, eat first before you go.
- Wow, ramen. - That's okay.
It's so sour.
When did you make this kimchi.
Last winter.
Someone gave it to me, and there's still some left.
There needs to someone else to eat it.
I've been eating kimchi all winter, and there's still one jar left.
This must be delicious.
Thank you.
Don't just stand there, sit down.
Yes, thank you.
Aren't you going to eat?
Just try a little bit.
No, I'm not eating.
Don't bother with him. Just give more to me.
- Eat a lot. - Yes.
Where are you going?
Toilet.
- Thank you, grandma. - Bye.
Just come whenever you want.
Hey, wait.
You've been working all day, but you didn't eat anything.
Eat this on your way back.
He's back.
You've been working hard, son.
It's been hard on you, Kang Su Ho.
You must be tired.
I was afraid you'd give up half way.
You don't know how worry I was.
Now it's all over without any incidents.
I'm so thankful.
Thank you, Su Ho. I'm really grateful.
It's okay, stop saying that.
I'm not even a hero.
All I was doing was a little papering...
It's because she's proud of you.
Of course, I'm proud of my son.
I told you to stop it.
I can now put my heart at ease. Right, Yu Min?
Yes, ma'am.
You did well, even though you only spent 3 days papering the walls.
But, you've made an improvement.
You've done well.
Yes, this is Cha Young Jin.
It's Kang Su Ho.
Because of the ramen at that grandma's house that I didn't get to eat, I can't sleep.
That ramen restaurant I went to when I was discharged from the hospital...
Do you remember it?
Yes, I remember.
It would be nice if you went there with me.
I told you, didn't I?
If you start playing your childish games,
it'll only hurt Cha Young Jin.
She will wear the scars,
because, for a child, living without a mother is already a scar.
For the time that he's in that position, don't make him worry about other things.
You are his son, and this is the least you can do.
You're being like this to me right now because you're upset.
Because I was with Cha Young Jin last night, just the two of us, you're frustrated.
Keep your distance to one meter.
If that barrier is broken, problems might appear.
If it's less than that, then feelings might develop.
Preserve that space well.
