[Beautiful Gong Shim]
[Episode 10]
Did I, or did I not, tell you to come home early?
You are late, so I'm leaving this here.
Don't forget to take your medicine.
What's this?
Isn't that Ahn Dan Tae?
What a punk.
Where does he think he is? Hey, get up!
Hello, I'm the chairwoman's new secretary
Twinkle, twinkle, Ahn Dan Tae.
What? Secretary?
[One week prior]
Dad.
I know you won't be able to forgive me.
But I'm not the one who kidnapped you.
I took you from the man who was trying to kill you.
Then who was that man?
Why?
Dad...
Who am I?
I'll tell you everything in person. I'll tell you everything.
I'm sorry, Dad.
I suspected you.
I'm sorry it took so long. I'm really sorry.
Give me the chance to tell you everything and pay for my sins.
Okay, Dad.
Blue Sky Arboretum.
Ahn Soo Yong works an an arboretum?
Yes.
Soo Yong keeps to himself.
I was finally able to get in touch with him recently.
Okay. Thank you.
But Sergeant Yeom...
You're a director at Star Group now...
I shouldn't address you as Sergeant Yum.
What are you talking about? It's okay.
But why are you looking for Soo Yong?
I owe him a favor. I wanted to meet him and pay him back.
Hey!
Ahn Soo Yong!
It's been so long.
Sergeant Yeom, what are you doing here?
I came all the way here to see you.
What's with the reaction? You are disappointing me.
It's just so sudden.
What brings you all the way here?
I have to talk to you about something.
Let's sit down.
If you are here about that day don't worry, I didn't tell anyone.
I see that your son, Ahn Dan Tae, is a lawyer now.
You met him?
[Entrance to Blue Sky Arboretum]
I've been running from debt collectors
I haven't been in touch with my son for more than 10 years now.
Really?
You don't need to worry about anything.
How long have you been working here?
The air is so nice here.
I just recently started working here.
[Dan Tae]
The son you haven't been in touch for the past 10 years is calling you.
What great timing.
What were you going to tell him that you had to lie to me?
Nothing.
Give that to me.
Ahn Soo Yong!
- You are keeping something from me. - No!
How much did you tell your son, Ahn Dan Tae?
How much does he know?
I told you I didn't tell him anything!
- Nothing... - Tell me!
Damn you...
Ahn Soo Yong!
Dad!
What's wrong?
Dad!
Dad, wake up!
Dad!
Dad, what's going on?
Come on, wake up.
Star Group.
He has a concussion.
He is unconscious due to the internal bleeding.
Was it an assault?
He has scratch marks on his neck and bruises.
- He'll survive, right? - We'll have to keep watching him.
But the bigger problem is his brain tumor.
What?
My father has a brain tumor?
You're his son and you didn't know?
It's in a late stage.
No, I had no idea. Then what will happen to him?
We'll have to keep watching him.
But you should prepare for the worst.
The man who kidnapped me tried to kill my dad.
He works for Star Group.
I will find out who he is no matter what it takes.
No matter what it takes I'll find out who you are.
Hello.
You are working so hard.
You should drink this and get energized.
You really shouldn't...
That's Ahn Soo Yong's son.
What is he doing?
Goodbye!
Seeing him going around like that, he must not know about his dad.
But what happened to him? Is he dead or alive?
This is so frustrating.
Joon Soo is doing even better than we expected.
The restaurant is rejuvenating the company image.
And our sales are up.
Yeah, let's keep watching.
Don't jump to conclusions.
Yes, Chairwoman.
Chairwoman, how have you been?
Attorney Ahn Dan Tae. It's been a long time.
Yes.
Hello, Sir.
Yeah, it's been a long time.
What have you been up to lately?
And what brings you here so suddenly?
Chairwoman, I have a favor to ask.
Go ahead.
I need some money.
It's hard to keep up with law office rent.
- My aunt used loan shark money... - You came to ask for money?
No, I would be so grateful if you could find me a job at the company.
- You are asking me to hire you? - Yes.
Whatever it may be, I'll do my best.
Please.
Huh?
That's Gong Shim's sister.
Gong Shim's sister.
Why is she running away?
Gong Shim's sister!
Are you okay?
Oh my...
Are you okay?
I was so happy to see you, why did you run away?
When did I run away from you?
Were you calling me?
I was in a rush, so I didn't hear you.
But Gong Shim's sister, do you work here?
Yes, I recently started.
Gong Shim recently got fired from here...
Come on...
Which brings me to say...
You know Gong Shim didn't leave here on such good terms.
So I haven't told anyone that I'm her sister.
I see what you are saying.
So please don't act like you know me in front of others.
Please keep it a secret that I'm Gong Shim's sister.
Thank you.
Okay, I won't go around saying it myself.
But it won't be easy to keep that a secret.
You should just come out and say it.
- I'm plannng to tell everyone soon. - Okay.
We are neighbors after all. I can do that for you.
- Goodbye then. - Bye.
Oh, Gong Shim's sister!
Don't you want to know why I'm here?
This is my friend's company.
You know Director Suk Joon Soo? He's the heir to this company.
And he's a really good friend of mine.
Then see you at home.
- Attorney Gong. - Yes, Director Suk.
It's been a while.
Yes, have you been well?
Yes.
I haven't seen you since you started.
I've been busy with the restaurant opening
signing the deal with the U.S. and developing our brand product.
Oh...
Are you free tomorrow?
What? Tomorrow?
How about going out for dinner?
I haven't been able to thank you properly.
You're free tomorrow?
Yes, I'm free.
I'm going up.
I'll tell you the time and place then.
Okay.
Hello?
- Ms. Gong, you're in Seoul, right? - Yes.
I'm at the airport in Jeju.
We were following the branch manager and we just lost him.
He just got on the plane.
Go to Gimpo Airport, and hold him there for awhile.
What?
Keep him there for 30 minutes, we'll get on a plane and be there soon.
Hurry, Ms. Gong. We need to get our pay.
Okay.
Hang up.
Oh my God!
- Where are you going? - I have no time to talk.
I need to go catch the Jeju branch manager!
- The one who ran with the money? - Yeah.
So you need to go hold him at the airport for 30 minutes?
Yes, if we miss him, he'll escape to China.
Then we'll never get our money.
How will you hold him there? He's a man after all.
Aren't you going to help me?
Aren't you going to the airport with me?
Why am I in here?
Let's go. Mister, please speed up.
The plane just landed.
[Mr. Go Young Bae]
That sign he's holding up.
Go Young Bae is the branch manager's name.
You watch to see if he comes out.
What are you going to do?
Police, hold still.
Give me Go Young Bae's fake passport and plane ticket to China now.
I'll let you go, if you give that to me.
- You really won't arrest me? - I won't, so give it to me!
- This is everything. - Don't look and just go.
That's him.
The one with the black jacket and glasses.
I'm going to China.
You must be Mr. Go Young Bae.
Give it to me.
Give you what?
The passport and the address in China.
I was in a rush, so I left the passport and the plane ticket in the car.
What is it?
I heard you are originally from Yanbian, China.
Were you surprised?
People look down on me when I speak in Yanbian dialect, so I try not to.
I don't have time, give it to me.
You'll have to come with me to the parking lot, come on.
I got the branch manager.
Call me when you get here.
Come on, look for it. I'll miss my flight.
Are you nervous?
What's the license plate?
- Sir... - I'll look for it.
Are you very mad?
What's the license plate?
You must be feeling rushed.
What was the license plate number? Hold on, let me call and find out.
Come to section H4 in Level B2.
I don't know the license plate number.
Hold on.
I guess this is the Andante song that Gong Shim was talking about.
Gong Shim?
Ms. Gong?
There she is.
Where do you think you are going?
Hey!
- You tried to run with my money? - You bastard...
Why did he make me wait here?
Director Suk Joon Soo]
Yes, Director Suk.
Gong Shim, where are you?
I'm just on the street.
What's going on?
I didn't have anyone to eat dinner with.
Really?
I got my first paycheck.
And Dan Tae is with me, too.
Oh, really?
Then I'll go by your house.
Okay, let's eat dinner together. My treat.
Okay.
You scared me.
Why are you so shocked? Who were you talking to?
Director Suk.
He doesn't have anyone to eat dinner with, so he wants to eat together.
You're free, right?
I need to go to the office.
Really?
What should we do? He said he'll come by the house.
Then go eat with him first.
I'll join you later.
I should have asked you first. I thought you were free.
That's too bad.
Should I just tell him another day?
No need to do that.
Here.
For me?
Remember you left those drawings with dinner?
Those drawings of yours made me feel so good.
I want you to keep drawing.
I'm a fan.
I'm sure even famous artists started out with just one fan.
Thank you, I'll put them to good use.
Joon Soo.
Dan Tae.
I have to go to the office, so I don't think I can go with you.
You two should go eat something good.
I made plans with you before checking with him first.
Yeah? What should we do?
If it won't take long, we can wait for you to finish.
I don't think today is a good day.
Let's go together another day.
I just feel bad.
Gong Shim said she'll treat us with her first paycheck
so I was planning on going somewhere really expensive.
- What? - It's really expensive there.
Be prepared, you promised.
The wealthy ones are even worse...
Then we can just go to a snack shop
and eat kimbap, oden, and spicy rice cakes.
Forget it.
Then go enjoy your dinner.
I'll get going.
Let's go.
Okay.
Be careful.
Auntie, please take care of dad.
You worked for me for so little pay. Take this opportunity to rest.
Okay, I'll do that.
I'll go to the hospital every day, so don't worry about Dad.
Right...
You'll be working at Star Group? subtitles ripped and synced by riri13
How did you get a job there?
It's my friend's company.
He said there was an opening, so I applied.
I see. I didn't like you driving in the evenings...
I'm glad. Be respectful to the superiors, okay?
Don't worry, I'm not a child.
It is expensive.
Still, I promised him I would take him out when I get my first paycheck.
I can just starve for a few nights.
Gong Shim?
It is you.
I kept looking at you.
Eun Jin?
It's so good to see you.
It's our first time meeting after graduating from high school.
You are the only one from our class I haven't heard from.
I know, it happened that way.
It's good to see you.
How have you been? What do you do?
Where do you work?
I'm still looking for a job.
Oh, that's why you haven't been in touch.
It's not a sin to not have a job. Why did you cut off ties?
You should keep in touch.
Who is she?
She's my high school friend, Gong Shim.
Cute, right?
Gong Shim, this is my boyfriend.
Hello.
You two are friends, but you look very different from Eun Jin.
Hello.
Oh, right...
Honey, her sister takes after her mom so she's really tall, pretty, and smart.
But Gong Shim takes after her dad so she's short and ugly...
She's cute.
The whole school knew them as the sisters who were complete opposites.
But who did you come with?
It's very expensive here.
Hello, you must be Gong Shim's friends.
Oh my goodness...
Hello, Director Suk!
Director Suk?
I'm Lee Jung Ho.
It's an honor.
You must work for our company.
Nice seeing you here.
Star Group's director?
Gong Shim, is he your boyfriend?
No.
- Of course not. - I like her.
- What? - I have a crush on this lady.
I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.
I shouldn't say this...
But I was so thankful.
She used to look down on me during our school days.
I should have put on a better show then.
No, your acting was so good.
Please choose what you want.
Is the item ready?
Yes, I got it ready for you.
You are the best.
- Keep up the good work. - But Dan Tae...
Don't you get sick of eating the same thing everyday?
When I like one thing, no matter what it is
I'm the type to keep on liking it until the end.
A devoted guy.
- Ring me up. - Okay.
There they are.
Thank you.
I had a lot of fun today.
And I enjoyed the food, too.
Goodbye, Director Suk.
I enjoyed it, too.
Get in safely.
He's not in yet?
The lights are on.
Did he go out with the lights on?
You're coming in now?
It would have been nice if you came out to eat, too.
It was so good.
I thought about you while I was eating.
And the atmosphere was really nice, too.
Do you like places like that?
Too bad for you.
Let's go together sometime.
My treat.
Get some rest then.
You better buy me dinner next time.
I helped you get your first paycheck today.
Okay.
I'm going.
Why did I stay there?
What was I waiting for? I should have just come down.
Thank you for taking care of the chairwoman, Secretary Doo.
Thank you for everything.
I hear you were promoted as the vice president of the Chinese branch.
That's great.
Congratulations.
Who will be the new secretary for the chairwoman?
- Has it been decided? - I'm not sure, either.
They haven't mentioned any personnel changes.
She wouldn't be leaving that position open.
How could they leave the chairwoman's secretarial position open like this?
Let's just go.
Okay.
What's this?
Isn't that Ahn Dan Tae?
What a punk.
Where does he think he is?
Hey, get up!
Hello, I'm the chairwoman's new secretary.
Twinkle, twinkle, Ahn Dan Tae.
What? Secretary?
Yeah right. Who made you the secretary?
Leave quietly before you get dragged out.
What's going on?
Why are you telling my secretary to get out?
Pardon?
Then he... Ahn Dan Tae is the secretary?
There was an open position, so I decided to give him a chance.
If you don't do a good job, I'm going to send you home.
You better do a good job. Don't try to take the easy way out.
Yes, Ma'am.
Wait... Still...
How can you give someone with no experience such an important position?
President Suk.
You started out as the president because you have a lot of experience?
Still, I...
I need to go out, get my bag, and follow me.
Yes, Ma'am.
Ahn Dan Tae is whose son?
He's the son of Ahn Soo Yong
the man who was watching over Joon Pyo 26 years ago.
You know that and you allowed him to work here?
Ahn Dan Tae doesn't know anything. He lost contact with his dad long ago.
Ahn Soo Yong is guilty, too.
You think he would have told his son?
I don't know!
It bothers me, so take care of it so I don't see him at the company.
Fine.
Ahn Dan Tae...
He didn't knowingly come here, did he?
Over this way! Come back!
Look at my angle right now. It's no joke!
Why is he on that thing?
[Secretary Goo]
Yes, Secretary Goo.
You can't get your job back by calling me like this...
President Suk, what are you doing here?
Why are you riding this during your work hours?
- It's fun, right? - Fun?
Stop!
Don't ride this.
- Hey. - Yeah?
It's your break when you're done cleaning here?
- Yeah. - One more round before you finish?
- Okay. - Let's go!
Start!
Step on it.
Oh my goodness...
It's nice to meet you.
Have some sweet coffee while you are resting.
Thank you.
Say hello, he's the chairwoman's new secretary.
- Secretary Ahn Dan Tae. - He's that lawyer?
He's the best.
He's the one who resolved the problem when your grandson
got framed for the assault?
Right, you have a good memory.
Wow...
That wasn't much.
If you have any problems, come see me.
I have a seven-month rental agreement.
The landlord is kicking me out saying the house got sold.
Is there anything I can do?
According to the Housing Lease Protection Act
you are guaranteed at least two years of lease term.
So even if the landlord tells you to leave
if you don't want to, they can't force you out.
Really?
I thought I had no choice but to leave.
I was so worried. Thank you.
If the landlord forces you to leave, come and tell me.
I will take care of it for you.
You're the best.
So you guys are in charge of cleaning the officers' rooms and the bathrooms?
Not only their offices.
We clean their bathrooms and secretary's rooms, too.
We have assigned areas.
Before the officers leave, when they opens the door
we go in there to clean.
I see.
If you need me for anything, call me anytime.
- Okay. - Enjoy the coffee.
Thank you.
He's so handsome.
Hello, Director Suk Joon Soo.
It feels so strange when you call me that.
Where are you coming from?
I went to figure out a shortcut to the cafeteria.
What happened so suddenly that you decided to come work here?
It's a bit embarrassing to say this.
I needed money.
My aunt I lived with since I was young
co-signed on a bad loan, and we are facing financial difficulties.
Did Dan Tae tell you what he was up to?
Well, I don't know the details.
But I think he had some family issues.
I see.
Yeah, so I had to ask the chairwoman for a job.
I'm glad you did.
I'm happy that you are the chairwoman's secretary.
Really?
Then should I get a drink ready for you?
I have iced Americano, lukewarm Americano, and hot Americano.
- I'm fine. - Okay.
We need to celebrate your first day of work, but I have plans tonight.
Let's hang out soon.
Yes, Director Suk.
You don't need to call me that when we're alone.
Yes, Director Suk.
Seriously...
Goodbye, Director Suk.
Get home safely!
Thank you!
It's good to see you again.
But I can't be totally happy hearing that you're in the job market again.
When did you come back?
It's been a week.
Doesn't it feel like we got dragged back here because we couldn't find jobs?
You think this is jail?
Getting paid in jail, it's not bad.
You two...
Get a job and run away!
I really want to flee.
Welcome!
Come this way.
Good.
How much would you like?
I heard from the chairwoman.
You're to report to her after attending the meeting in her place?
Yes.
Don't say anything during the meeting, just listen.
Yes, the chairwoman also told me to not say anything and just listen.
You already finished the plate.
How can you sit in the chairwoman's seat?
Get out, I should sit there.
Yes, Sir.
Okay then.
The chairwoman's not feeling well.
So, it's a bit unusal
but her secretary will be sitting in on the officers' meeting.
Don't pay attention to him, let's start.
Director Ha, please start.
Yes.
You should be more careful!
What are you doing?
I'm sorry.
This is a pen made from silver.
Why did the color change?
Stop!
Don't drink the water.
I think there's poison in the water.
What are you saying?
I need to check something right now.
Please don't drink the water.
No, you're fine.
Next, please.
No poison.
Next, please.
No poison.
Next, please.
No poison.
Only President Suk and Director Yeom are left.
President Suk, please step forward.
No poison.
Director Yeom.
Nope, no poison.
I will test my own water again.
It's definitely poisoned.
- Who could have done such a thing? - What's going on?
Quiet down!
Someone must have played a dangerous prank.
Watch your mouths, so this doesn't leak out.
If this poisoned water incident gets into the media
I will make each of you pay.
Make sure you keep this a secret.
I will keep it a secret, and get to the bottom of this.
Was he after me?
Gong Mi chooses to live such a difficult life.
She can take it easy, but she's worried about so many things.
- I can see why she's sick. - She worries herself sick.
She's greedy.
She should let go a little.
Gong Shim!
Not everyone can afford to be greedy.
She's capable of getting to the top, that's why she's greedy.
Gong Shim!
What is it?
This is porridge, bring it to Gong Mi's work.
You want me to go to the company that fired me?
We need to go to Daegu, and we already have the train tickets.
Please go for us.
Gong Mi didn't tell anyone at work that you two are sisters.
So secretly slip it to her.
Gong Mi won't be able to talk about our family there.
Your mom bodyslammed the president's wife.
She will never be able to mention us.
What do I do?
- Maybe I should ask Rooftop for help. - Rooftop?
Gong Shim.
You must be busy, I'm sorry.
It's okay.
This is it?
Yes, please give it to her.
Isn't that Secretary Gong?
Ahn Dan Tae and Secretary Gong are close enough
for her to pack him his lunch?
- I'll give this to Gong Mi. - Thank you.
But you don't look so well. Did something happen?
No...
Oh, maybe it's because it's my first day at work.
It's hard working at a company, prepare yourself.
If you have any questions, you can ask me.
Yes, Senior.
I'm going.
Poisoned water in the officers' meeting room?
Yes, it seems someone is trying to hurt Secretary Ahn Dan Tae.
Because of him, all the other officers are nervous.
Mr. Ahn Dan Tae ordered an analysis of the poison in the water.
They found cyanide.
Not a huge amount, a very small amount.
Who did such a horrible thing?
They checked the surveillance camera in the security room
but no outsider came by the meeting room that day.
I don't know!
It bothers me, so take care of it so I don't need to see him at the company.
Then did Tae Chul do it?
Heighten the security within the company. Get the culprit!
Yes, we are being careful not to let this leak out.
Do you remember?
When our husband was alive, someone was trying to threaten him
so they put poison in his liquor, and he almost died.
You and I went to the hospital, and cried our eyes out.
It was so crazy.
You cried even more than me.
You still had feelings for that man who cheated on you?
You were crying so much, it was a mess...
Mom, here...
- Try this. - This is good?
Let me try it.
Who could have done this?
Who is after me?
It wasn't an open bottle of water.
Did he use a syringe to put the cyanide in?
This...
- Hello, everyone! - Hi!
Come in...
Eat this while you are resting.
I washed this really clean.
Eat it all up.
Oh my goodness.
Hey... While you were cleaning up in the morning
by any chance, did you see a syringe in one of the rooms?
- What? - What syringe?
Like the ones used in a hospital?
Yes.
Did anyone see a syringe while they were working?
- No. - No.
Then did you see any medicine bottles?
I did see a cold medicine box.
If you see a syringe or an empty medicine bottle, please let me know.
The officers are feeling uptight.
We can't even drink a cup of coffee without trembling in fear
that there may be poison inside.
After a weird man came in as the chairwoman's secretary
the company atmosphere has turned awry.
The chairwoman's secretary is low class and arrogant.
Before any other misfortunes happen
we'll have to speak out in unison to get that man fired.
If we get together to relay our message to her
the chairwoman will have no choice but to get rid of him.
We will bring the chairwoman here tomorrow.
Unite in one voice.
Have a written petition ready and appeal to the chairwoman
about removing that man from his position.
So this is how I might get kicked out of the company.
Yes, thank you. Yes.
What's this?
Am I seeing things again?
I should go see a doctor.
No, this is real.
Hello, President!
Secretary Gong.
President Suk.
Yeah, have you been well?
Of course, have you been well, too?
Now that I can't drink your special teas I don't feel so special.
That wasn't funny, Sir.
Yeah, that's the reaction. I missed that reaction.
What the heck!
Get him... Get him!
He is now attacking the ones close to me.
He's trying to warn me.
Gong Shim, are you okay?
You didn't get hurt anywhere?
I didn't get hurt.
I was just shocked.
You were very shocked, right?
At first, I was very shocked, but now, I'm so scared.
When I think about who could have done this to me I get so scared.
I should get rid of these.
Gong Shim.
I know you don't want to think about that situation
but can you tell me the details?
I'm not going to let them get away with this.
Did you see the man who threw the paint?
It was so sudden, I didn't get to see his face.
He was wearing a helmet on a motorcycle, so I didn't get to see.
Did he say anything when he threw it?
I'm not sure. It happened so suddenly.
Gong Shim, think carefully.
I went to the company to give Gong Mi porridge
and I ran into the president.
It had been a while, we were happy to see each other, so we were talking.
That's when the paint flew at me and burst.
You were with the president?
Yes, the president.
Ahn Dan Tae.
Is something wrong?
Gong Shim, don't be too scared. You are safe here.
I'll be back.
Be careful.
Who are you?
Why are you doing this?
Hey...
Are you okay?
- Are you okay? - Secretary Goo.
It's you, Secretary Goo!
- Secretary Goo? - She used to be my secretary.
She's been calling me nagging me to rehire her
saying she got fired unfairly.
Look here. How can you do this?
You are the ones who put poison in the president's water, right?
As a former secretary, it was easy for you to get in
You knew exactly where the president's seat was.
And you are the ones who threw the paint at him, too.
I'm sorry.
- I'm sorry, please forgive me. - That was it?
I'm sorry.
Sir, are you okay?
Yeah, I think so.
I'm glad.
He left and he still hasn't come back.
Did something happen?
It's Ahn Dan Tae.
Dan Tae!
You are coming in now?
You weren't sleeping?
What happened?
We caught the culprit, nothing will happen now.
Don't worry.
Gong Shim, how are you feeling now? Are you okay?
I'm fine.
- But you look tired. - Me?
Yeah, I did go through a lot today.
Then, I'll go downstairs.
You should rest.
What if I can't fall asleep again?
I'm worried.
[Next day]
President, this is the officers' petition
asking to remove Ahn Dan Tae from his position.
You should submit it to the chairwoman when she comes.
She won't be coming here today.
- What is he saying? - Did it get resolved then?
Then will we be going to her office?
Let's trust her decision on Secretary Ahn Dan Tae.
That idiot...
How can we let that strange man continue to be her secretary?
That makes no sense, right?
Don't you agree?
- Of course. - That doesn't make sense.
Presently, the chairwoman's secretary is Ahn Dan Tae. That's all.
Why is he on that thing again?
