[Dear Fair Lady Kong Shim]
Timing and subtitles brought to you by The Inner Beauty Team @ Viki
[Episode 7]
Let's talk for a bit.
Why are you doing this?
I said I have nothing to say.
I have a lot to say.
I'm sorry.
For what? What are you sorry about?
I'm sorry for misunderstanding you as a liar.
I thought you were home.
I found out this morning that you were at work late at night.
I'm really sorry.
Let's say that I lied, okay?
Is that really something to get that mad about?
I wasn't angry.
I was worried.
Then you can stop worrying.
Can't you stop making me worry?
Why do I have to do that?
I don't know.
Can't you just say "Alright"?
So now, I have to do whatever you think I should or shouldn't do?
Do you think I'm some kind of a fool?
I don't want to. I'm going to do whatever I want.
Kong Shim, it's not that.
Have you heard about Kong Shim?
- I heard that Executive Director Yeom is her backer. - What?
- Really? It didn't seem like she was related to him. - I don't know.
Maybe she's an illegitimate child!
That's why a girl with such ridiculous qualifications got hired as the President's secretary.
Seriously, just thinking about it makes me hate that Kong Shim.
Just look at her. She acts all innocent, but she's two-faced.
I heard she's been going around, meeting up with male employees.
- With that face?! - Yeah!
Is it fun talking about someone behind her back?
What are you?
This area is only for employees. Who are you?
I'm the Chairwoman's personal legal consultant.
Don't take talking behind one's back lightly.
Even if it's a personal conversation between just the two of you, if you slander a third party,
a defamation of character case can still be established.
I'm saying there might be legal consequences if you defame someone based on false rumors.
Given the level of conversation that just happened between you two,
there will definitely be legal consequences.
I'm sorry.
I did wrong.
Don't apologize to me,
but go apologize to Kong Shim.
With proper manners and sincerity so that Kong Shim will accept your apology.
I'm going to confirm it, okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
If you're done looking at that, I'll take it.
What are you doing? Hurry up and go apologize to Kong Shim.
Son!
Is she the one? The person who saved my son?
Yes.
Oh my gosh.
Nice to meet you.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much.
I can't express how grateful I am.
It's nothing.
Such a pretty person.
Oh, what am I doing standing?
Have a seat. Let's sit down.
Sit here. I will bring a chair.
Alright.
I heard over the phone how you saved my son.
If it wasn't for you... Just thinking about it still makes my heart tremble.
I met her at my furniture class before, so I knew her already.
She's a lawyer.
What? She's a lawyer?
Yes.
Your father wants to meet her, so let's go to the company.
Excuse me? The company?
You didn't tell her?
No.
Our family owns Star Group.
Star Group... Then...
It's our company. My son's company.
I thought he just ran a restaurant.
Restaurant? You must have thought we just had a little snack shop!
Kong Mi!
Take this.
What is this?
They're for the wound on your arm.
They're antiseptic and bandages that won't leave a scar.
It could get infected or leave a scar.
Thank you.
Oh, she's coming.
Why did I stop walking?
Why is it uncomfortable?
Kong Shim!
Do you know what I brought you?
Do I have to know that?
Well, since I brought it to give it to you, Kong Shim.
Why are you giving me this?
Why are you like this? Aren't you curious to see what this is?
This is... something good.
I don't know what it is, but you don't have to give it to me.
It's something really good.
Something good like what?
Something really, really good.
That startled me!
The workers at the wig factory gave them to me.
I helped them on a lawsuit to get their payment for delivery of goods.
Wow, the hair texture is no joke. It's the best quality.
It's super pretty, right? The style is really something.
They're really nice.
I knew you would like them. Try this on.
It's so easy to wear. How does it look?
♫ My face is burning, burning, burning up ♫
♫ I think I like you ♫
It looks really pretty. It's my style.
♫ I think it might be love ♫
I diligently apply the hair loss ointment, but it doesn't seem to want to grow back.
Well, that's all because of stress.
♫ What should I do with my swaying heart? ♫
Stressed if I don't have a job and stressed even when I do.
What do I have to do to get rid of stress?
There's no world without stress.
It's just that everyone de-stresses however they can each time.
But if you were to buy these, they would be very expensive.
I came back with a lot of money, right?
I don't need them, so you can have them all, Kong Shim.
I don't know if it's okay for me to receive them, but thank you.
Ah, the one you wore first... Oh, this one. I like this one.
Go to work tomorrow with this on.
I don't want to. I'm going to wear this one.
Wear that one on your day off when you want to refresh your mood.
Wear this one. This.
Why do you keep telling me what to do? Don't do that.
It's my choice.
Thank you for the wigs.
Oh, right.
I got apologies from those female sunbaes at work.
Thank you.
Hyung-nim, what is that? [Ahn Dan Tae and Kong Shim's compatibility, 84%]
Are you trying to predict your compatibility by using your name?
Goo Nam, at my age, why would I be sitting here doing that?
At first glance, that's what it looked like.
Hey, now that you brought it up, using your name to predict compatibility is just superstition.
How could it be accurate?
No, Hyung-nim.
That's very accurate!
- It is accurate? - Yes.
- Okay, go in then. - Yes.
I tried on the new wig you got me.
Does it look okay?
You look pretty.
Then I'll be going.
Earn lots of money.
That Secretary Kong really will not do.
I specially hired her to take care of your father and keep an eye on him,
but instead she tries to approach you?
You know what I'm trying to say, right?
Mother, you're mistaken.
Why would Secretary Kong try to approach me?
She's not that kind of a person. Nothing's going on.
Even with this, can you say that?
At a park, out on the street, at the movie theater!
This isn't right.
What's wrong, Mother? Wh-Why would you take photos?
You would have denied it if I didn't have them taken!
I'm really disappointed.
Did you have me followed to get these pictures of me?
I'm going to make Secretary Kong quit.
You can't. Don't ever do that!
I'm going to fire her right away!
Mother, I told you clearly. Leave her alone.
She didn't do anything wrong, so just let her be.
I have told you clearly.
Joon Soo! Joon Soo!
Director.
Have a seat.
Kong Shim, there wasn't anything special.
I asked to see you just because.
It's okay, right?
The president happens to be on a business trip, so it's okay.
But... is something wrong?
Did something bad happen?
I got told off by my mother.
Why are you laughing?
It's not a funny matter at all.
N-No. I'm a little taken aback.
I was worried that something bad happened,
but to find out that you're like this because your mom told you off,
it's really funny.
Come on, I get told off by my mom everyday.
I've been getting told off all my life.
I could say I'm a pro at getting told off.
When you get told off, you have to rebel well.
Are you saying that I should fight back?
Not to fight back but to be at ease.
The people who tell others off are actually more distressed.
That is rebellion.
It's my mother.
You can't answer the phone.
If you do, you'll only get told off again.
Just—
[Mother]
That's right. When people get told off once, they get told off again.
So until you stop getting told off, it's best to sit back and let your heart be at ease.
People who get bothered for being told off just don't know anything.
I see.
But you don't seem like someone who gets told off. Why did you?
Rather than that, can you teach me how to rebel?
Pardon?
Director, you don't need to learn something as simple as that.
It's very easy, but people don't know it.
Thank you. Take care!
Oh, you have such good manners. Good bye!
♫ With words I don’t know, I’m being tossed and turned here and there ♫
Director, there's no reason to find it strange.
It's normal in this neighborhood.
Let's go.
Okay.
♫ You make it more difficult for me. ♫
[Dal Sang, Costume Rental; Hanbok, Uniforms, Suits of Armor, Traditional Costumes, Cosplay]
You can comfortably pass the time here.
Don't think about getting told off.
You won't even remember it anyway.
I understand, but are we going to wear clothes like that, too?
Of course, Director. You have to wear things like that when you come here.
Don't worry.
♫ I, who can only see you, am like a fool ♫
♫ A few times might be funny, but it's serious ♫
Director, it's okay. You'll get used to it quickly.
Maybe I shouldn't have agreed to this.
I told you it's okay. People here don't care at all.
Let's walk around quickly once and go.
Yes, my lord.
♫ You know it; I think so too ♫
♫ It’s what is always stuck in my throat. ♫
♫ Maybe love. ♫
♫ The feeling which wonders about your hidden feelings rides the wind ♫
♫ It would be nice if it were all conveyed completely to me ♫
Director, stop looking down.
All a classic scholar has is his pride, so look up a little.
That's better. Good.
Wow, it's so beautiful!
Hey guys, can I take a picture of you?
English, no. X.
I don't understand. No.
Come on, just one picture. We really like your clothes. Please?
Sorry. Uh... my English is at the eighth level. Eight level.
Eight, what?
He wants to take a picture with us.
Picture?
Oh, a picture! Picture!
Okay, okay! Come on! Come on!
Center.
Students, could you take a picture of us?
I'm taking it now.
One, two...
♫ You’re going to be fine ♫
Thank you. ♫ Please end the awkward feeling between us ♫
Bye! Be happy! ♫ This moment should be now. ♫
♫ When only you are allowed. I am a fool ♫
M-My cellphone!
Did you leave it in the locker when you changed your clothes?
I don't think so. I'm in big trouble.
I'm supposed to get an important call about a contract.
I'll try calling it.
- Hello? - Ah, yes, I'm the taxi driver.
Oh, we left it behind in the cab, right?
Ah, yes you did. I have it, so come and pick it up.
You have to come right away since my shift is over soon.
Okay. Thank you. We'll be right there!
It's there?
Yes. Let's go quickly.
- Dressed like this? - We don't have time to change.
What if you get the call about the contract?
And what if the taxi driver ahjussi leaves?
Then let's hurry up and go.
Hurry up! Hurry!
Mr. Taxi Driver!
Aigoo, I was wondering who you were!
You're coming from Insa-dong, right? Here's your phone.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You're very congenial. Take care.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
You saved me, Kong Shim.
I didn't do anything.
But... shouldn't we hurry back to Insa-dong?
Yes, Chief Kim.
Right now? It won't be released if I don't settle the account?
I'll do it by email then. Yes.
I know a cafe that lets you borrow laptops.
Really?
One Iced Americano and one Caramel Macchiato please.
Yes, okay.
- Here. - Thank you.
Did you finish up your work okay?
Yes, thanks to you.
If you're uncomfortable, should we get up now?
I don't think anyone's ever cheerfully laughed because of me.
But Kong Shim, you've experienced it a lot, right?
They're just sneering at me because they think I'm a fool and I'm dumb.
Not at all! You have a way of cheering someone up.
Thanks to you, I have experienced that, too.
Thank you.
No... I really did nothing.
Should we go?
Let us go, my lady.
[Geoleum Law Firm]
Yes, this is the law office.
Ah yes. Is Cheon Ji Yeon available?
No, she's not at her seat right now.
She's not there?
I can't get in touch with Soo Yong either. It's a serious problem.
Are you talking about Ahn Soo Yong?
Yes, that's right.
I am Ahn Soo Yong's son.
Then, are you Dan Tae?
- Yes, yes. - I'm your father's friend.
Yes, yes. I understand, Ahjussi.
Take care.
Who is it? Ahjussi who?
He was trying to get in touch with you, Aunt.
He said he's Father's friend.
- Me? - But what does he mean by a big tree in Yangpyeong?
He said it's going to be removed.
Aunt, are you okay?
Yes... I'm-I'm alright.
It slipped. I should clean it up.
- Hello! - Yes.
They don't sell the plant that I pulled the leaves off of.
Is there something you're looking for?
Oh... these! These are pretty.
- Do you sell the seeds, too? - Yes, just a second.
Here you go.
Oh, thank you. How much are they?
How much would I take for a few seeds? I'll give them to you for free.
- Thank you. Good-bye. - Okay.
You're talking about that tree, right?
Yes. Your father never mentioned it?
No.
I've never heard anything about that tree.
Twenty-five years ago, your father... Well, it wasn't as big as it is now.
He wanted me to sell that tree to him, so I did.
After that, he used fertilizer, pruned it, used pesticide,
and raised it with utmost care.
But you're saying that you've sold this land, and the purchaser
is planning to cut that tree down to build a pension, right?
Yes. It's a tree your father treasured a lot,
so I called to see whether he was going to have it moved or not.
- I see. - Then call me when you make a decision.
Yes, okay.
Father?
T-ta-taxi!
No. Father is in the Philippines.
I got it!
Ah, I lost it.
Why can't I get it? It's so vexing.
If you're going to keep doing this, you're better off buying the whole machine.
I can do really well now!
I'll get you a pretty doll, Kong Shim.
I can pick my own doll. Watch.
Just...
I will give this to you in honor of rebelling.
Thank you.
But how did you pick that in one try?
Oh, I used to work part-time at an arcade when I couldn't get into college.
Because of that, I was able to practice.
Next time, I'll teach you the skill.
Please teach me for sure next time.
Where did this water come from?!
It's a flood! What happened?
Ah... what should I do?
What is this!
Oh no!
It's water! WATER!
The pipe has burst!
Thanks to you, I was able to learn a lot about rebelling.
Enough to forget about my mom's scolding.
It's nothing.
You're talking about forgetting, so you still haven't forgotten.
You'll have to work harder.
Then how about we forget about forgetting
and go get something so delicious it leaves you speechless?
What food is that delicious?
[Perverney]
Perverney?
It's Lawyer Ahn Da Tae.
Oh. Hurry up and answer.
Then, just a sec. Yes?
Kong Shim! Where are you?
And if I tell you? Why did you call?
There's a flood at the house. Come quickly and fix the problem for me.
A flood at the house? What do you mean?
The pipe burst in the bathroom, so water is spewing out.
The house is completely flooded.
I can't handle this on my own, so come quickly and take care of it for me.
What would be fixed by me going there?
Call a professional. A professional.
Don't you know that the landlord is responsible for maintenance if it's not the fault of the tenant?
I can't go right now, so just know that.
I'll stop by sometime in the morning. I'm hanging up.
H-hello? Kong Shim?
You saw, right? This is how you rebel.
Then that was just to show me? You really don't have to go?
It's okay. It's something that can be fixed by calling a professional anyway.
Let's go then.
Taxi!
Kong Shim, the place we're going to has the best steak in the country.
Once you taste it, you'll agree that it's a fair payment for today's lesson.
Director, I'm sorry, but I think I should go.
I think responding to a tenant's discomfort is a landlord's duty.
Landlord's... duty?
Yes. Even though I subleased an apartment that I rented,
I'm the landlord no matter what.
You should probably go now, right?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Okay then.
Mr. Driver, please stop over there.
Director, once you rebel, you have to rebel until the end.
It's hard at first, but it will get easier.
- Yes. - Then I'll get going first. Fighting!
Take this.
It could get infected or leave a scar.
Joon Soo must be busy. He's not picking up his phone.
He must be in an important meeting.
We'll have to eat without him.
It would have been nice if Joon Soo was here, too.
He shouldn't be like this when you saved his life.
No, it's okay.
Thanks for understanding.
Bring out our food, please.
Yes, ma'am.
I really enjoyed the delicious food. Thank you.
Don't mentioned it.
This is a scarf.
It's not anything expensive.
What is it? Is this for the meal?
Yes.
I'll use it well. Take care.
Thank you.
I realized that the cosmetics bag that you gave me when we first met
had money in it when I got home.
I was shocked to find out that it was 100,000,000 won.
I didn't save a life. I simply did what I could.
I'm returning the money since I can't accept it. I wish you great health.
She does cute things.
What happened?!
You didn't call anyone yet?
You're here. You said you weren't coming.
Where did the water explode?
- Over there. There. - Over there?
What happened?
I fixed it.
Wow, you're an expert. An expert!
Where did you learn a skill like that?
I did part-time work at a facilities office when I didn't get into college.
We just have to take out what's left here, right?
Yes.
I've seen this a lot somewhere.
I put this on your forehead when you got hurt before, right?
Did you?
Oh, yeah. That's right. That's the one.
Why did you stick it on here?
I threw it away. I just threw it away there.
Psh, you didn't throw it away. You stuck it there.
I didn't stick it there, but since there was no trashcan nearby, I threw it away there.
What am I— If you're going to help, hurry up and move these for me.
Okay.
What is this?
- It's nothing! - What? But I saw my name on it!
No. Why would I write your name on it?
I know what I saw. You cursed me out, right?
No, I didn't! Really, I didn't curse you out, Kong Shim!
My sense is telling me it's profanity. Give it!
Give it back!
What are you doing?! What are you—
Give it!
So you did curse me out.
How could you eat that? So disgusting...
I didn't write profanity. Check it.
Kong Shim!
I really didn't curse you out!
It's not profanity, check it!
Check!
Kong Shim, don't do that and come over here.
What now?
Come step on these with me.
You're doing it fine by yourself.
It's not because doing it by myself is difficult.
It's because you're finding it too hot over there.
You don't know how cool it is in here.
You take me for a fool. Do you think I'd fall for that?
It's really cool.
Really?
Oh, I'm cold.
- It's cool, so cool. - Really?
It is cool!
- How is it? Cool, right? - It's really cool!
♫ My face is burning, burning, burning up ♫
♫ I think I like you ♫
♫ My body is heating, heating, heating up ♫
♫ I think it might be love ♫
♫ I take a deep breath and try to calm myself ♫
♫ Because of love’s excitement and happiness ♫
♫ What should I do with my swaying heart? ♫
♫ Staring and staring from behind ♫
♫ I’m secretly gazing and gazing ♫
We're in the water, so why is it really hot?
♫ Somehow my agitated heart ♫
♫ Pretending to be indifferent ♫
♫ Pretending uselessly that I am staring at something else ♫
♫ My heart doesn’t know whether you know ♫
♫ I want to gently take your two hands ♫
♫ And walk with you as soon as I see you ♫
♫ My face is burning, burning, burning up ♫
♫ I think I like you ♫
♫ My body is heating, heating, heating up ♫
♫ I think it might be love ♫
♫ I take a deep breath and try to calm myself ♫
♫ Because of love’s excitement and happiness ♫
♫ What should I do with my swaying heart? ♫
Let go!
- It's a truce. - Okay, okay.
Let's stop.
Joon Soo!
Director!
I thought there was a flood, but you're doing laundry.
How did you know I got flooded?
Kong Shim told me earlier.
Huh? You two were together?
Yes.
Oh, right. All these years, Director Seok has never rebelled
against his parents. Can you believe that?
What does that mean?
Ah, seriously. You guys are total newbies.
Throughout history, the basics of a rebellion is...
The basics is?
Staying out overnight.
I can't sleep here because of the flood anyway,
so let's all go camping.
Sounds good!
Kong Shim, let's go camping!
Let's go camping!
I'm sorry, but I have to get permission from my parents first.
Wait a minute.
Hello? Mom, I think I'm going to be a little late—
Do whatever you want! Why are you asking all of a sudden?
I'm busy, hang up!
Okay.
They said it's okay.
Wow!
The pork belly, elly, elly, elly.
Kong Shim, since you worked so hard doing laundry,
I'll wrap you some pork belly.
One is not enough, so I'll put in three.
Oh, it's hot!
Here, here's water.
You should have cooled down the meat for her.
Dan Tae, you made a mistake.
I just got it from the grill. Of course it's hot.
You worked hard today while giving me a lesson about rebelling.
Please have some.
Thank you.
It's delicious.
In that little time, he cooled the meat.
He cooled the meat in that little time...
That's basic.
So... during the day, you two were together,
but after Kong Shim answered my phone call,
instead of going somewhere to eat, she came to my house
and helped me do laundry.
During the day, she could have just told me how to rebel,
but instead, we went to Insa-dong together,
wore hanboks together, and wandered around together.
That's what we did, right?
Since you don't get it if she explains it simply,
she went with you to Insa-dong. Because Kong Shim is kind.
You said the water was leaking in your house,
so she came over since it's the landlord's duty.
Because Kong Shim is kind.
- That's not it. - That's not it, either.
That's really not it.
It's really nice listening to music outside.
But why isn't anyone eating?
Are you talking about something fun?
You didn't hear anything we said so far?
Hear what?
Good. I'm glad you didn't hear it.
Let's toast.
Cheers.
Give me your paw.
Should we go over there? Let's go!
Which one is the person, and which one is the dog?
You did great!
So cute.
What?
That dog. Ever since I was young, I've always wanted a dog.
My mom hated dogs, so I couldn't even ask her.
But that's your appeal.
You're nice even though you're a gold spoon.
But from now on, instead of what my mother wants,
I'm going to do what I want.
After meeting you, I think I've changed a lot.
As if I led a model student down the wrong path,
why do I feel guilty like a delinquent?
Stop making fun of me.
Hello, we're here to return camper number three's camping materials.
Yes, please sign here.
Yes. Kong Shim.
- Please confirm. - Okay.
What's this?
What's with Kong Shim's picture?
She looks so nervous in her picture.
It's a very defiant expression.
It's Kong Shim's birthday tomorrow.
It's almost midnight.
You're right.
Why didn't she tell us?
Go on ahead, Dan Tae. I need to get something from my car first.
Alright then.
It really is her birthday.
Excuse me.
Yes?
Can I use this?
Yes, you can use it.
Thank you.
Bye, Marina. Take care.
- Goodbye. - Bye. Let's go.
Bye, Marina.
I thought they went to the rental office, so why aren't they back?
Kong Shim.
Happy birthday!
Did you win this earlier?
Thank you so much.
This is the first time I got a plushie for my birthday.
Thank you. It's so cute.
After you left earlier,
I went back to get the plushie.
Thank you.
Kong Shim.
What's this?
- Dirt. - Dirt?
Happy birthday.
Oh... This is my first time getting dirt for my birthday, too.
There's a seed in there. It'll grow tomorrow.
What kind of seed?
I won't tell you. If you're curious, take care of it.
We should sing happy birthday for her.
No. That's too embarrassing.
Don't do it.
If it embarrasses you, I'll just have to sing louder.
Ready and...
- ♪ Happy birth- - ♪ Happy birthday to you
♪ Happy birthday to you
♪ Happy birthday dear Kong Shim
♪ Happy birthday to you
- Thanks. - Woo!
Chairwoman, Attorney Ahn Dan Tae is here.
For now, let's proceed as we've discussed.
Tell him to come in.
Then, as I proceed, I will send you the updates.
Oh, if it isn't Attorney Ahn Dan Tae.
Yes.
You're giving the Chairwoman legal advice?
Yes, that is correct.
I see. Then...
That guy who wanted to have a hot ice coffee...
Keep up the good work.
- Chairwoman. - Oh.
Hello.
By applying age-progression to what Seok Joon Pyo looked like at the time of his disappearance,
this is a sketch of what he might look like now.
Are you saying that this is what my Joon Pyo currently looks like?
It might not be a perfect match, but in finding Joon Pyo,
it should be of great help.
I already submitted it to the National Police Agency.
There isn't anything else?
Chairwoman, it usually takes three weeks to get a sketch,
but I got it as soon as possible through a detective I know.
Don't be too impatient,
or you might get exhausted even before finding Joon Pyo.
Yes, you're right.
Have you thought about the butterfly that I mentioned from before?
I'm not sure. There isn't anything in particular that I remember.
This is a picture of Joon Pyo on the day he disappeared.
Bow tie.
I'll be leaving then.
Okay, go ahead.
Bye.
What's the matter?
I left my cell phone here.
Cell phone...?
Oh, here it is.
I will be leaving, Chairwoman.
Madam, the document from accounting has come.
Give it here.
Stay right there.
Yes, Madam.
[Daehan Card Transaction list] Insa-dong costume rental, Yeouido cafe.
C-camping site?
Secretary Kong.
Yes?
Did you go to Insa-dong yesterday?
Yes, I did.
You also went to a camping site yesterday?
Yes, I did.
With Director Seok Joon?
Yes. With another friend, the three of us—
Well, it was the two of us at Insa-dong,
but at the camping site, there were three of us.
So you're basically saying that
you were with him yesterday, right?
That is... It wasn't just the two of us together but—
Is that correct or not?!
It is correct...
What? You were with my son all night?
This is driving me crazy.
Secretary Kong, quit working here at once.
Pardon?
Don't go near my son!
How dare you, with my son—!
Don't you know where this is that you try to reach out of your league?
What are you doing? Get out immediately!
I don't want to see your face any longer. Pack your things and leave!
Are people with power and money allowed to do things like this?
What did you say?
If you don't want to see someone or they're bothersome,
you can just fire them to solve your problem, right?
That's the easiest method, right?
Get out. Get out before I drag you out.
Yes, I will leave.
I will leave by my own feet.
Even if I try to hold out, I know that I'll have to leave anyway.
It's like trying to hit a rock with an egg.
I've gone through things like this before, so I'm well aware.
But... please keep this in mind.
The person doing the firing
may feel like she's just clipping off a long nail,
but the person who's being fired
feels like her heart is being ripped out.
If you don't understand, I'll tell you in simpler terms.
Don't live your life like that,
and don't act so high and mighty.
We're all human beings that eat and poop.
We're human beings.
That rude little...!
[Secretary Kong Shim]
The weather is awfully nice.
[Home]
Hello?
Kong Shim, it's your birthday today.
I'm going to make you a birthday meal, so come home early after you get off work.
Give it here.
Kong Shim, we're going to make your favorite, spicy pork and squid.
Let's have some soju together. Come straight home from work, okay?
I'm busy right now. Let's hang up.
[Power off]
Mother, you met with Secretary Kong, didn't you?
Did you fire her from the company?
Joon Soo—
You told me that yesterday, that you would fire Secretary Kong!
All because of me, you wronged someone.
I didn't fire her,
but she walked out on her own, saying that being a secretary doesn't suit her. Okay?
I'm truly disappointed in you.
Joon Soo! Joon Soo!
[Secretary Kong Shim]
The number you have reached is not in service, or temporarily disconnected...
Kong Shim, where are you?
If you check your text messages, call me back.
Kong Shim, let's talk. I'll wait for your call.
It's five minutes before the presentation. You must go quickly.
The buyers are waiting for you, Director.
Alright, I'll be right there.
[Ahn Dan Tae]
Yes, Joon Soo. What's wrong?
Kong Shim left her resignation letter and disappeared.
Huh? What do you mean?
I think she left the company in a bad way.
Her phone is turned off, and I don't know where she is.
I'm not in a situation where I can go find her, so I called you.
So I was hoping that you could go find her instead.
Okay. First, let's hang up. I'll look for her.
♫ On the bus crowded with people going home ♫
♫ I sit and rest my head ♫
♫ While I close my eyes and listen to music ♫
Kong Shim! ♫ I greet the end of the day ♫
♫ While both the people I dislike and the people I like smile ♫
I went to all the places I could think of. Kong Shim! ♫ While both the people I dislike and the people I like smile ♫
♫ I had to meet them today ♫
♫ While comforting myself by saying "good job" ♫
♫ I move a step toward home ♫
♫ The tears which flow without me even knowing ♫
♫ As though swallowing the day silently ♫
♫ Will running through the crowd ♫
♫ Be the only worry? ♫
♫ It comforts me again that I can do well ♫
♫ Just be a little stronger ♫
♫ You are doing well, precious person ♫
♫ You are a beautiful person ♫
Kong Shim!
What? Why do you seem so happy to see me?
No, it's nothing.
Why do you look like this?
Aren't your feet too dirty?
I didn't know.
That's why from the beginning I told you to live while paying attention.
Yes, I'm sorry.
It's not something you should be sorry towards me for.
What's wrong with this?
What do you mean?
The seed isn't sprouting.
It will grow. Just wait a little bit more.
You said yesterday that it will sprout tomorrow.
It has to sprout in order for the flower to bloom
when I'm so diligently watering it.
I'm watering it 100 times, 1000 times more diligently than other people,
so why isn't the seed sprouting?
Kong Shim...
There's something wrong with the seed in here, right?
No matter how hard I try, am I fated to die
while being buried in dirt before even getting a chance to bloom?
Kong Shim, how can you say such a thing?
But it's just like me!
No matter how hard I try, it's no use!
It's too much like me...
No matter how hard I try... it's no use...

[Dear Fair Lady Kong Shim] [Preview]
Kong Shim resigned from Star Group?
It's okay. I got hired.
Director!
Kong Shim, can I like you?
Director, why would someone like you...
I just really like you.
What have you been thinking of since yesterday?
Hurry and tell me.
Excuse me, you know...
Where is this kind of law?
Think about it again.
What do I do?
I want to say something from my position.
I don't think I can let you go over there.
