Episode 5
We're co-workers?
Where are you going?
Hello.
I'm Seo Mijin, and I'm in charge of your OJT.
We'll either become sworn enemies
or co-workers with amazing teamwork.
And that will depend on your performance.
Today's OJT will start...
I'm sorry.
Oh, boy.
You there.
What's your name?
I'm Kim Jiwan.
You're late on your first day.
If you're late 3 times during your OJT,
your job offer can be withdrawn,
did you know?
Mr. Kim Jiwan, please be careful in the future.
I'll explain why he's late, as I was a witness.
Some stubborn old woman
wouldn't get off the beeping elevator,
and he gave up his spot for her,
Ms. Seo Mijin.
If you have something to say, say it yourself.
I thought when someone's holding an envelope
and going somewhere,
unaware of her surroundings, it must be urgent.
Oh.
So you gave up your spot?
You think that's a valid excuse for tardiness?
At work, you should only yield
when you can survive the consequences.
Question!
If you have a question, state your name first.
Oh, I'm Jang Hyeondo.
The president's son.
Consequences?
Since you caused it, you can't say that.
You were on time thanks to him.
I am Ms. Seo Mijin.
Address me accordingly.
Why is such a smart person so ungrateful?
Please show proper respect for your superior.
Why aren't you showing any respect for him?
I warned you twice.
The third time, you'll be kicked out.
You think you're so powerful.
Mr. Jang Hyeondo.
Get out.
- Get out? - Yes.
This company doesn't need someone
who has no basic manners.
I'm grateful, but your life will get difficult.
I'll leave.
I think everyone is here now.
Let's move to the audiovisual room.
I left on my own volition.
But why do I feel like I was kicked out?
Mr. Kim Jiwan.
Thank you for giving me
your spot on the elevator this morning.
Thanks to you, I was able to be on time.
Thank you.
Don't mention it.
You'll be late again, if you stand here.
Ms. Jang is at Halla Hotel.
Man.
A suite at a five-star hotel.
What an expensive way for a protest.
Should I put a hold on her credit cards?
The transaction has been approved.
It has?
Then...
Cancel that and put it on this one.
Yes, ma'am.
I put it on this card instead.
He didn't put my credit cards on hold?
Jang Taesu, what are you up to this time?
What? The president's attending the training?
Why are you telling me that now!
- I just heard. - Are you doing this on purpose?
New convergence technology
is used not only in electronic medical devices
but also in beauty products our company...
Wait.
The president is coming to watch this,
so where is Mr. Jang Hyeondo?
Why isn't he here?
I kicked him out.
Are you out of your mind?
He wasn't ready to get the training.
Ready? What do you mean?
Being the president's son means he's ready.
Call him right now.
Get him to come back, even if you have to beg.
Ms. Seo!
I will call him.
Who the heck are you?
I'm Jang Hyeondo's friend.
Hurry up and call him.
Your call is being forwarded to...
He's not picking up?
No.
If he's not picking up, go find him!
Your colleague is missing,
so why is everyone sitting here?
Have you no camaraderie?
Go and find him.
Oh, man.
Excuse me!
Let's be friends, Mr. President's Son's Friend.
I envy you.
You'll have it easy here.
Mijin.
You want to get me fired, don't you?
I told you to provide support for Hyeondo,
but what? You kicked him out?
I'm in charge of new employee training.
It's my duty to take disciplinary action...
Seriously?
Do you want to be disciplined, too?
President Jang told me to treat his son like...
Hey.
Are you a bird-brain?
- Jang Hyeondo. - You're completely dense!
Were you expecting him
to ask you to give his son special treatment?
That goes without saying!
But he's a new employee.
He should be treated the same...
I don't believe this.
Who do you think you are?
Just do as I say! Don't talk back at me!
All this time...
What?
She told me to get out, so I left.
- Hey. - Fine!
Wait until your performance assessment...
I'll go back.
I'm most definitely going to
get you transferred to the countryside.
Got it?
Are you ready for training now?
What's there to train about?
I'll fill my seat.
So you didn't come back to learn.
You have nothing better to do than boast
about working here longer
by bossing us around?
You're still not willing to learn anything.
Get out.
Wait, but...
You shouldn't be doing this to me!
President Jang is about to arrive!
Here is President Jang.
Hello.
Sit down, everyone.
Where's Mr. Jang Hyeondo?
Why isn't he here?
I'm sorry.
I was at the restroom.
- Continue. - Yes, sir.
Don't mind me.
What?
In order to find direction for your story,
you need to know the main character's desire.
In order to make the characters realistic,
first, identify the object of desire,
second, observe the relationship between
the characters from a new perspective.
We can use Yeongju's script as an example.
Yeongju, your script was very original.
A writer must possess the ability to twist
familiar stories into something new.
I can't wait to read the next one.
Okay, thank you.
Good job.
Thank you.
Your next script.
No, no.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
- Thank you. - Great job.
Korean TV & Radio Writers Association
My script had was original.
She can't wait to read my next script!
I must be a genius! I didn't even work hard!
What if I become a star writer in my 20s?
What do I do?
Were you surprised to see me?
No, sir!
It's a tradition for me to
eat lunch with the new employees
on their first day of training.
Eating together brings people closer together.
I want to be the first to grow close to you.
because you are my company's future.
Thank you!
And there's one more tradition you must fulfill
during your training.
You have until the last day of training
to bring someone you believe is
the most important person at this company.
You're free to choose whomever you want.
There is no correct answer.
But you must provide a valid reason. Okay?
The person who gives the answer everyone
can agree with gets a special bonus.
The winner can choose the department
he or she want to be assigned to.
Got it?
Let's eat.
Thank you!
What? Why are they all so happy?
What's so special about that?
This is Marketing.
This is where I work.
Hello. Congratulations.
Thank you!
I'll introduce everyone
when the team leader's here.
This is Planning.
Mr. Hwang.
Welcome.
Hello, sir!
I'm Lee Yeonsu.
- I'm Im Gangwon. - Hi.
- I'm Jang Hyeondo. - Hi.
I'm Kim Jiwan.
Kim Jiwan?
I didn't see that name on the list.
Am I wrong?
I was an additional hire.
An additional hire?
Ms. Seo, when was the last time
we had an additional hire?
It was 12 years ago.
You must either have amazing skills
or have great connections.
Where did you go to school?
I went to Bujeon University.
Bujeon University?
Where is that?
Who cares about your alma mater?
How hard you work is important.
Yes.
I'm Min Hyojin.
- I'm Park Incheol. - Hi.
I'm Kim Jinseok.
I'm Park Jiyeon.
I'm Im Chaeyeong.
I'm Park Jaeyeong.
You shouldn't have come here.
This OJT thing is so boring.
I had to fight hard to stay awake.
You were bored? You were sound asleep.
I'll go and get some more sleep,
so call me if anything happens.
So the president's son's a great connection.
Look how he's sticking to him like magnet.
His friend was a winning lottery ticket.
Let him hear me.
I got hired by passing the test, fair and square.
Tonight? Yes, sir.
Did all that damage you did to my credit cards
relieve all your stress?
Far from it.
You want to know how to help me relieve it?
Bring me the painting
or give me the deed to the house.
You can't have the house.
Why do you think I picked out
every tile and brick building that house?
It was the first house I ever owned.
So you want me to feel like
a guest at your house?
Our conversation is over, then.
Goodbye, Mr. Jang Taesu.
I really can't give you the house.
But I can give you a place where you can stay.
You're giving this house to me?
Yes.
So let's compromise a bit.
Hyeondo started working now.
When your precious son comes home
from work, the three of us
should sit at the dinner table.
What?
Mr. Jang Taesu,
you're not giving me enough credit.
I lived with you for 30 years.
And I've known you for 40.
What is it?
The real reason why you want
me back at home.
Hyeondo...
Don't use Hyeondo like that.
Tell me.
I got this house, so I'll think about it.
We have a dinner appointment tomorrow
with the Minister of Land.
Minister...
So that's why you need me.
Will it just be the Minister?
Mr. Park's wife will be there, too.
They arranged it.
So, as payment of my painting,
you're having dinner with the Minister?
You're an amazing...
You're making me laugh!
What do you take me for!
You think a vacation home can buy me off?
Jewelry and a vacation home!
The house or my painting.
I'm not compromising.
Wait...
The Supplies team isn't very competitive,
but overtime and all-nighters are a must.
Why are you being so calculating?
Fellows.
I have urgent business, so I must go.
Jiwan, bye.
- Goodbye. - Take care!
Jiwan, which department do you like?
Will you be working with Hyeondo?
I'm not sure yet...
If you win first place, you can go anywhere.
Someone's saying share the first place prize.
The pressure is unbelievable.
Let's go.
I'm meeting my alumni who work here,
so I have to go.
- Goodbye. - I'll see you again.
I'm meeting my alumni, too. Bye.
- Let's go. - Okay.
Miseon, we'll be late. Let's go.
What did you say?
When are you going to pay me back?
Are you ever going to?
I said I'll pay you back tomorrow
because it's my payday.
Well, I don't remember hearing that.
Not paying people back
isn't a habit of yours, is it?
I will pay you back.
- When I get paid... - Forget it.
I can't be bothered to come back.
Give me your phone number.
I'll text you my account number.
Do it, and I'll wire the money tomorrow.
Mother.
I'm making money now,
so you can take a break from your job.
Oh, you're not making a fortune.
Oh, my!
You scared me!
You started it.
Mom, why couldn't you humor me?
How was your day?
Was everyone nice to you?
Of course.
I'm the kind of worker everyone loves.
You kids can always do your part,
wherever you go.
I know that for sure.
I feel like I have the world at my feet.
Why did you make so much food?
It was your first day at work.
You must be starving. Eat.
Did you see Taesu today?
Yes, we had lunch together.
Having lunch with the president
on the first day is a tradition.
He's down-to-earth, not authoritarian.
Really?
He sounds amazing. I know that's not common.
He learned that from your father.
Sangjun was so kind to his employees.
Oh...
If there's trouble, tell me all about it.
I'll tell Taesu to fix it.
Jiwan, eat.
It's going cold.
Mom's cod stew is the best.
Manager, you can't open it from the inside?
Why don't you try it?
I said the door's stuck!
I said it's broken!
I'll call a repairman...
I don't need one!
Just call Director Choi Jaehun
at the headquarters.
What?
The human resources director!
Call him.
Why would I call him when the door's stuck?
It won't open unless he comes here.
What about the document I need you to sign!
It's one of our VIPs.
It's a rather large amount.
VIP?
Oh? It's working.
No, it won't open anymore than this.
Only the human resources director can fix it,
so call him right away.
- Here! - What?
Under the door.
Thank you.
What?
What's wrong with him?
You locked yourself in your office,
because I didn't take your call?
Man...
Open the door, and I'll talk to you this evening.
Employees for recommended retirement (2015) Kang Jaecheol, Manager
She's been under so much stress.
She even resigned from her job.
I can't say there's no stress, but...
Excuse me, doctor.
Panic disorder. Isn't it panic disorder?
She's scared of the parents,
the kids and everything about the school.
She starts convulsing when she goes near it.
She becomes a completely different person.
Do you sleep well?
Well, I do need more sleep.
She's always exhausted.
She gets stressed at school, she can't sleep.
So when she comes home, she gets so agitated.
I don't!
Doctor, how weird she gets,
what do you call that? A video camera!
I should film her and show it to you.
Nobody would believe me.
I'll diagnose her after
a general psychological evaluation.
It's better if the parents take it with her,
so why don't you take it, too?
Okay.
And doctor,
we can get the results today, right?
She needs your note to get some sick leave.
Mom.
Mom, you want me to be crazy?
Be quiet.
You look crazier the more you're like this.
The results show that
she's at the early stages of anxiety disorder.
Right?
Anxiety... Early stage of anxiety disorder?
It's not panic disorder?
Are you sure it's early stage?
She looks more serious.
Is it treatable with medicine?
Anxiety disorder?
Me?
No.
Ms. Kang, you're normal.
See? I'm normal.
Then...
Who has the anxiety disorder?
It's you, Ms. Oh Minja.
Haven't you been experiencing
quickening of the pulse,
racing of the heartbeat and shortness of breath?
Yes...
But isn't that what every mother...
Because I'm upset...
Those are the symptoms of anxiety disorder.
You'll need treatment for a while,
so I suggest regular visits.
I'll give you a prescription.
But doctor!
Wait.
No way. This can't be.
Doctor, I don't have a problem.
It's my daughter, doctor.
If it gets more serious,
it may affect your daily routines.
This can't be!
Yeongju, does this make sense?
I mean, why do I have a problem?
He says I have a problem.
How can that be?
Mom, you're acting very weird right now.
Stop treating me like I'm a psycho!
Mom, this only makes you look weirder.
Quiet!
I'm abnormal? Anxiety disorder?
So anxiety drove me mad?
Quacks like him are raising
the medical insurance premium.
Once it goes up, it never comes down.
Excuse me.
What is it?
Are you Ms. Kang Yeongju's mother?
Yes, I am.
Right?
I'm Ko Jangsu.
I met you at the blind date at the hotel.
Don't you remember me?
Blind date?
Which hotel...
I'm Ko Changsu, a professor.
Oh! You ordered milk at Elegance Hotel?
Yes, milk!
Mother, you have anxiety disorder?
He's a total quack!
- Right? - Mother,
you're extremely normal. Extremely.
I ought to set him straight!
Jangsu.
Do you really like my daughter Yeongju?
Yes...
Oh, mother...
Yeongju looks just like you,
so how could I not like her?
Mother, if you give me your support,
I'll make Yeongju go back to school
and give her the happiest family life ever!
My dear son-in-law, you know just what to say.
Mother...
Okay!
Go for it!
Let your mother-in-law pour you a drink.
- Thank you. - Here.
We're out.
Seonhui!
We're out.
- Soju. - One more bottle.
That's enough.
You get drunk on just one beer.
What are you talking about?
I'm perfectly fine.
I don't feel drunk at all.
Totally normal.
Say hello.
My son-in-law. Handsome, right? Say hello.
- Hello. - My son-in-law. Jangsu.
Handsome, right?
He's a professor.
My son-in-law.
- I'm Ko Jangsu. - Hi.
What are you doing? One more bottle.
I submitted the retirement request list today.
Jaehun...
I took your name off the list.
Thank you, Jaehun.
Thank you so much.
You're a good friend.
How are you going to last there?
Is there a reason why you must keep working?
You're happy?
You should brace yourself.
You were on the recommended retirement list,
so there's a limit to how much I can help you.
Ms. Han, I'm sorry. I'll be right over.
My mom's not even a big drinker...
I think it'll be a success!
It's a great investment!
- Yes! - It will!
I'm a legend of real estate investment.
Legend!
I'm calling my parents.
I want to invest there, too!
Is there a spot open for me?
Your mother-in-law is a legend.
- Mom! - So listen...
My daughter's here!
Yeongju!
You shouldn't be like that!
Why must you torment my mother-in-law?
Mother... What?
Why would you give up such a good job?
Being a teacher is the best job for a woman!
You're being bad!
My dear son-in-law,
you truly understand how I feel!
You're the best.
Mom, don't call him that!
- Mom! - Leave me alone.
We were having an important conversation.
We were.
Good.
Let's make it May.
Let's do it in May.
- Mom, do what in... - May?
Okay! Yes! May!
May third sounds good!
No, no.
Let's pick something easier to remember.
May...
- Fifth! - Fifth!
- Nice. - Mom...
The sky is blue...
- Mom! - We can have a baby, too.
Have what baby!
Mom!
Ms. Oh!
Thank you.
Good luck.
Jiwan, this way.
Jangsu!
- I'm counting on you. - Mom, go to sleep.
May fifth. Yes!
Nice.
I'm sorry to put you through all this.
Your mother must've been very upset.
Look after her.
I will.
- I should go. - What?
Thank you, Jiwan.
Sure.
Oh, I'm...
Don't even get me started...
Mom, drink this.
You have to drink this to feel better.
Let go of me.
What's wrong with your mom?
She's completely drunk.
Jiwan had to carry her here on his back.
I don't know why mom's doing this.
Why did she do this?
She can't even drink one beer!
She was at Ms. Han's pork stew restaurant,
humiliating herself.
It was so embarrassing.
How am I supposed to face Eunsu and Jiwan?
You're embarrassed of your mom?
She's this upset all because of you!
I know you kids can't understand us parents,
but how could it be this bad?
Dad...
Forget it.
Go to your room.
I envy you, Ms. Oh Minja.
You can actually get drunk.
No matter how much I drink, I can't get drunk.
Yes.
Let's do it.
We will arrive at the factory in 10 minutes.
Be conscious of the safety rules,
and refrain from wandering off alone.
We're on a special outing,
so let's get some barbecue!
My treat! Let's go out for dinner!
This is the plant manager.
- Hello! - Hi.
Can you show us around?
I'm not good at giving a tour.
Just walk around.
Jiwan, my friend Jiwan.
Hyeondo's here. Let's drink.
What were you doing?
Enjoy your drink.
Try to get to know the other newbies
and have drinks with them, too.
Don't sit there like you're too cool for us.
Maybe he's a quiet person.
He's not, but tonight he's pretty quiet.
He'll loosen up when he drinks.
He's so quiet.
I'm such a popular guy!
Don't go!
Where are you going?
Let's drink.
It's so nice here!
Okay!
Now, we'll hear a toast from Hyeondo,
who was gracious enough to treat us like this.
Nice!
For everyone's success!
To our success!
We have to hear from our teacher!
Let's hear her toast!
Beautiful!
For those who are struggling to endure!
- Yes! - Cheers!
What was that?
Hello, Mr. Kim.
I sent you a memo asking for approval.
Jiwan's not home yet?
No.
He must be working late.
Why is Taesu making him work so hard?
Jiwan's not having any trouble at work?
No.
Jiwan is good at everything he does.
Still, watch over him carefully.
He's too considerate to complain,
but I'm sure he's having difficulties.
I should talk to Taesu about him.
What?
I should take charge,
so Jiwan can have it easy at work.
Mother, can we talk?
Why?
You have a favor to ask from Taesu?
Do you want me to tell him?
Please don't call Taesu anymore, mother.
What?
He must have so many people asking favors.
Think about Sangjun and...
I'm doing this because I'm thinking of Sangjun.
Taesu benefitted from our family greatly.
Letting him pay it back is our duty.
Mother,
Jiwan and I don't like using Sangjun that way.
Oh, my.
Did you just raise your voice at me?
We lost that relationship with
Mr. Jang Taesu a long time ago.
Right.
But I recovered that relationship.
And Jiwan got a job thanks to that.
Getting a job that way must be hard on Jiwan.
But he's trying to make it work,
so if you keep this up, it'll be harder for him.
What? But I didn't... What did I do?
I'm begging you, mother.
I don't want any more of this.
Stop it.
Or else you'll drive me to an early grave.
Fine. I lost all the money Sangjun left us,
and because of that,
I haven't been able to say anything to you.
Still, you can't treat me like this
just because you're supporting me.
I'm sorry, mother.
Hello?
It's me.
You answered so quickly.
Were you waiting for my call?
Is this my brother's friend?
It's Jang Hyeondo.
You're not as smart as I thought.
How many times must I tell you?
I'm glad you called.
Give me your account number.
I'll wire you the money I owe you.
Hey!
I don't tell just anyone my account number.
Then how am I supposed to pay you back?
That's something you must figure out.
Why should I worry about that?
This is why they say don't borrow money.
Look here, Mr. Jang Hyeondo.
Yes, I'm Jang Hyeondo.
You're finally calling me by my name.
Let's meet tonight.
If you don't want to pay me back, don't.
I'll get it from Jiwan.
You didn't tell him, did you?
What?
Oh, about how you borrowed money
from me to buy him a suit?
That? Yes, Jiwan. I'll be right over.
I didn't tell him.
When you pay me back, I won't tell him.
So don't worry.
I'll come see you after work,
so you can't tell him.
Sure.
Have a good day, and I saw some
guys trying to get your number. Watch...
What's wrong with him?
Mr. Jang Hyeondo.
Why were you eavesdropping?
Hello!
Are they doing the traditional mission again?
Yes, sir.
Working hard, I hope.
Have you been able to keep up?
Yes!
What do you think is the reason
why you're doing that mission during your OJT?
It's for networking.
It includes all aspects of your background.
In Korea, it's all about networking.
The same goes at work, too.
You're doing this so you can meet many people
and build relations from the very beginning.
Got it?
Yes, sir!
- I have a question. - Yes?
Aren't you an alumni of the entering class of '89
at Hankuk University?
I am.
How did you know?
I heard a lot about you from Mr. Gil Huigeun.
Oh.
Are you Im Gangwon?
I'm Im Gangwon, sir.
You are?
Many of you are from my alma mater.
Let me see who.
I'm Lee Hyeonsu, class of '08.
- I'm Park Seongwon, class of '09. - Okay.
I'm Kim Jieun, class of '10.
I'm Im Gangwon, class of '08.
- Gangseon! Sujeong! - Yes!
They went to our same college.
Hello.
Good luck.
Take me for your mission.
I'll buy you a meal.
Over here!
Come here!
You're here. It's cold, isn't it?
Sit down.
Why are we meeting in here?
So we can eat something good.
Look, Mr. Jiwan's Friend.
Mr. Jiwan's Friend. I like that.
It's better than Mr. Customer.
I'll pay you your $80 back.
Pay for dinner.
We can order that amount of food.
I'll give you the money, so you eat alone.
Seriously? Hey!
What are you doing here?
It's been a while.
Is there something you want to say?
Australia...
Yes, Australia.
Is this Australia?
You're impossible.
Come with me.
I'm bleeding!
How can you punch me when I wasn't ready!
Who makes announcements before a punch?
- You little! - Stop it!
Gyuhyeon, how dare you punch him?
Han Eunsu,
you're not seeing him already, are you?
Why are you butting in?
Yes, he's my boyfriend.
I can't date him?
You're dating already?
You need to learn how to pick men.
You have horrible taste in men.
How dare you...
Yes, I have horrible taste in men.
That's why I waited for you for 2 years.
Please leave.
Next time!
Man...
Seriously!
I'm letting you get away.
Let's go.
Why did you go after him when you can't fight?
I thought you knew how to fight...
How could you lose to Gyuhyeon, of all people?
He punched me out of nowhere. It was unfair.
If it weren't for that,
I wouldn't get a nosebleed like this.
You were bluffing.
You're not a good fighter at all.
Don't jump to conclusion about me like that.
You don't know much about me.
When you pass judgement on people,
you must deal with him for at least 10 years.
Thank you.
What?
For lending me money.
Am I looking attractive all of a sudden?
Enough for you to make me your boyfriend?
Do you?
Do you think you look attractive right now?
I look pitiful.
Wait for me!
Yes, Mr. Park.
Yes.
Of course I haven't forgotten about tomorrow.
Yes, thank you very much.
Please thank your wife for me.
Yes.
I will see you both tomorrow.
Yes. Goodnight.
Ms. Jeong, please stop being mad at me now.
Hi, Lee.
Bring my wife to me by 5 p.m. tomorrow.
If she refuses, bring her by force.
Got it?
Your wife has checked out.
What?
Then where is she right now?
I don't know.
- How could she? - I'm sorry.
Find her. Just find her.
Check everywhere she could be.
Get everyone on the secretary staff
and find her by 5.
I don't believe her...
She's going to stand the Minister up
because of that measly painting?
Man...
Did you find my wife or not?
What?
Fine.
You're really not coming?
This is foul play, Ms. Jeong Sugyeong.
Oh!
Welcome.
- Hello. - How are you?
Welcome.
You look even more beautiful tonight.
That's nice to hear, even if you don't mean it.
You have a weak spot for flattery.
By the way, where is Ms. Jeong?
She's on her way.
She's stuck in traffic.
You don't have to make excuses.
Women aren't like us.
It takes them time to get ready.
- Okay. - Let's go inside.
Let's see how good you will be in business.
Let me give you a test.
This is a commercial area.
And there are two supermarkets.
Which is the most ideal spots for them?
Would anyone like to answer my question?
I'd like to try.
I think they should share the market 50:50.
Do you think this is the correct answer?
At the center.
If this supermarket moves here,
it gets this much business.
And if this one moves here in order to compete,
it'll get this much business.
When they keep competing this way,
the two of them will end up at the center.
The market share is 50:50.
Right.
This is the market.
This is called "positioning."
It's a key part in sales.
Wouldn't that make it
inconvenient for the customers?
If they are at the center,
it's inconvenient for the customers
at either ends.
What if
we picture a circular business area?
The distance no longer matters now,
so the supermarkets don't have to be together.
This way, no matter where they are,
they have 50:50 market share, and
it's no longer inconvenient for the customers.
This way, both the supermarkets
and the customers win.
Did everyone hear that?
This is creative sales thinking.
Looking at the conditions from a different way.
Shaking the foundation.
That was amazing.
Join us at Sales.
Got it?
Thank you.
You don't know your place, do you?
Don't you know who got you this job?
By pretending to work so hard,
you're making the CEO's son look bad.
Instead of supporting your connection,
you caused trouble for him!
Who owns this company?
Don't stand out more than the owners.
So act accordingly.
Don't put me in an awkward situation.
Man...
Kim Jiwan, you're not going home?
You're going to stay here?
Yes, sir. He's coming.
Kim Jiwan, go.
Yes, sir.
Hurry up.
Let's go.
Everyone's waiting. Please go inside.
Okay. I'm coming.
This isn't like you.
How could you be late on a day like today?
I'm sorry.
Where is Ms. Jeong?
I'm sorry.
Minister, Mr. Park, actually, my wife...
Who ordered these?
I'm sorry I'm late.
I was overseeing the meal preparation
and lost track of time.
I am very sorry.
You brought me the wrong dish.
I'm a vegetarian.
The whole world knows about your interest
in animal welfare and your vegetarianism.
So I talked with the chef to make you this.
The texture is just like beef steak,
but it was made with shiitake and tofu.
It looks like a steak.
Try it, please.
The chef put his soul into it, so you'll like it.
My...
I've had many vegetarian steaks before,
but I've never had one that replicated
the meat flavors so perfectly like this one.
Honey, you did great tonight.
The Minister was very happy.
He wanted to meet again...
Please stop this.
You can't wheedle your way out of this.
You're banned from this room.
I thought we made up!
You more than paid for the vacation home!
I paid for the vacation home,
but you didn't pay for my painting.
The house and jewelry's worth way more!
You think I'm material like you?
How dare you put an amount on it?
I didn't go there because of the vacation home.
I made sacrifices because
Hyeondo will inherit your company.
If it weren't for Hyeondo,
I wouldn't have come!
What?
What is it this time?
Why can't you just fit in?
Why can't you be normal, like everyone else?
Normal?
That's a very nice word.
But don't worry.
Your friend Jang Hyeondo's here.
Friend...
Hello.
Jiwan.
Excuse me?
You look just like him, up close.
Sangjun and you look so much a alike.
I'm fine.
Let me.
Here.
You're a chip off the old block.
It's like I'm sitting here with Sangjun.
My grandmother said the same thing.
You must provide her with great comfort.
Thinking of her sobbing
when she lost her young son,
it still breaks my heart.
Mr. Lee.
Who is this Sangjun person?
He's Jiwan's late father.
Oh...
Then how do you know him?
He was my old boss.
Wow, your family used to be rich.
But weren't you one of the founding members
of my father's company?
Actually, Sangjun, me and
Shin Yeonghwan were the founding members.
Your father was hired later on.
My father worked for Jiwan's father?
Yes.
I heard the company almost went bankrupt
because my father pushed for expansion.
That's not true.
Your father never pushed anything.
I don't know what happened...
Your family was very rich then.
You owned so much land.
He sold all of it and invested in new technology,
but it just didn't pan out.
But I still have questions.
Even if the technology development
had failed...
Where did all of Sangjun's money go?
What is this pity party about?
Are you putting on
an act to gain my sympathy?
Come and join me.
Forget it.
Given one's status, one's preferences change,
so how come you're still the same?
I guess you'll never have any style.
I know.
How did a man like me get you as my wife?
You were lucky.
After Sangjun died, I thought you'd also fail,
but everything worked out for you.
It's as if you got all of Sangjun's good fortune.
You were successful in everything you did.
You even got an unexpected investment
and your company expanded.
You were very fortunate.
And now you're able to sit there,
treating me like a joke, stealing my painting.
Sangjun suddenly passed away,
and just before the bankruptcy,
the current president found an investor.
If he hadn't, we would've gone bankrupt.
Current president? You mean my father?
You didn't know?
Your father never told you that?
No.
He never even mentioned it.
Our company was formerly
Taehu Industry, Jiwan's father's company.
So the company I'm working for...
Used to be my father's company?
It showed amazing growth,
but it began in 1991, at Taehu Industry.
I can see some empty seats.
Have some not arrived yet?
Two of them came by themselves.
I followed her, thinking it was Jeongae.
But she should be in New York.
You saw her?
Jeongae is in Korea right now.
Who?
It's Lee Jeongae.
She said she's a friend from your hometown.
You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
