(Episode 26)
(Actor X, once played 2 roles at the same time in a historical
drama as a master swordsman. Currently, he is acting in a drama
as father to a junior high student daughter. It's been a shock
to find out the actor is over 40 years-old, but a VIRGIN.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
Mr. Na, what are you reading so intently this morning?
Mr. Park, do you know which actor they're talking about?
You're reading today's tabloid?
That's Park Hyeok-kwon.
Who? Park Hyeok-kwon?
You mean that guy who is a really good actor?
Well, he might be a good actor...
but it looks like he can't date.
He's never had any sort of relationship.
Really?
I feel bad for him.
Mr. Na, that tabloid rumor isn't as important...
as the rumors flying around our office.
- What? - The thing is...
Come closer.
Oh my gosh! Really?
- You surprised me! - You scared me!
- You were here, Mr. Choi? - Why are two men whispering to one another?
- Did you hear? - What?
That a spy from Myungjang Beverages might be working for our sales team?
Geez, Mr. Choi! How could you say that out loud?
We don't know who the spy is.
The spy isn't in our team.
We don't know that yet. The spy could be right under our noses.
One of them...
Me!
I'm saying, I could be a spy.
Did you hear the rumors?
I heard the couple who lives on the 7th floor have a bad marriage.
I heard that too.
They were at one another when we were electing the resident representative.
Why stay married like that?
Hi there.
- What were you guys talking about? - About what?
- I think it's almost time for our kids to get home. Let's go. - Yes, let's go.
If you'll excuse us.
7th floor and resident representative candidate?
Us?
How outrageous.
How can people go around telling false rumors?
I'm so dumbfounded.
Aren't they misunderstanding you guys because they see you yelling at Chun-il?
That's true. Ra-yeon can come on a bit strong.
Hey!
You scared me!
Ra-yeon!
I'm with child!
Look at you! Even now, you're in a fit of rage.
I can already tell you yell at Chun-il all the time when you're out.
That's not true.
Can't you hurry it up? This is heavy for me too!
How could you be yawning when I told you to hurry?
Wait!
What are you doing? You're putting plastics with Styrofoams!
You're making me work twice. You don't ever do anything right.
Do it properly!
Geez!
Well, I guess I've talked to him with a loud voice once in awhile.
But those rumors still don't make any sense.
That's how rumors start about.
That's right.
I can't go around and explain myself. What do I do?
What else could you do? Just start being good to Chun-il from now on.
In reality, rumors are only laid to rest with another rumor.
Kill it with another rumor.
Kill it with another rumor?
Honey!
Are you finally home?
I bet you're tired from working again.
- What's going on? Use your words. - Be quiet.
I made your favorite bulgogi for dinner tonight.
I bet you're starving.
I even prepared a warm bath for you. Let me carry your bag for you!
Why are you doing this to me?
Let's go. Let's go, honey.
Smile. You need to smile.
Let's go, honey.
I told you to smile.
Smile.
Honey!
Oh my! Hello!
I came to greet my husband home after work.
I bet you had a hard day, honey.
Hello.
Yes, hello.
Have a good night.
- What's wrong with you? - CCTV.
That?
Smile. I told you to smile.
My shoulder is killing me.
I thought you made bulgogi.
No, I didn't.
- My bath? - Of course not.
What are you up to?
Sit down for a second.
Do you know what kind of rumor is flying around our neighborhood?
Everyone is talking about how our marriage is in shambles!
But it's not like we have a great marriage either.
- What? - They're just rumors. Don't pay them any attention.
Don't you know rumors can kill a person?
I also don't like those rumors about us.
- So you want to put on a show? - Just until the rumors go away.
This isn't all for my benefit.
Think about Ik-hee.
Do you want other people saying her parents have a bad marriage?
Be careful and look happy for awhile.
Do you understand?
Living is such hard work.
Unverified rumors, also known as tabloids...
have surpassed the entertainment and stock world.
Rumors are not only rampant in communities but within the work place.
Rumors, which are spread through baseless ideas,
create a mass effect and also lead to stereotypes.
These rumors create victims with false accusations...
Modern-day society is obsessed with voyerism and...
What's wrong with people?
Do we need to call upon that general?
You know, the general in Goguryeo.
- Yeon Gaesomun. - (Same pronunciation as bullshit)
I can't be funny everyday.
Why don't you start eating? Do you like it that much?
I do. I really like it.
You look very happy to me too.
You look like the Gollum with the One Ring.
What?
Dad! Do you really want to talk about my first ring that way?
- That's not your first ring. - Yes, it is.
Nope. You received 7 rings for your first birthday.
Therefore, Gong Yoon gave you your 8th ring.
- Dad! - What? What did I do?
Stop it! Don't start fighting in the morning!
- You can walk with dad when he leaves for work. - Why?
- I don't want to either. - Honey, what did I say last night?
We're reviving our family's image.
Didn't I say we needed to look happy to get rid of those rumors?
What rumor?
Something. I'll explain later.
Now, now.
If you're done eating, you can go to work and you can go to school by holding hands.
Our Summer products will release 3 weeks from now.
There won't be a problem with store openings and sales promotions?
Yes, it's all ready. Ms. Ahn was getting it ready for you.
- Are they out on the field? - No, they were here a minute ago.
They're looking over their presentation before the meeting.
Really? Then, let's start the meeting after I meet with the executive director.
- Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.
Mr. Na, don't you think Lee Kwi-nam is a bit suspicious?
About what?
I kind of get a suspicious feeling about him.
I smell Myungjang Beverages spy on him.
Mr. Park...
the smell we're all smelling is the stench coming from your feet.
Change out your slippers or do something about them.
Are you saying that because I was talking bad about your crush?
I have no interest in Mr. Lee anymore.
And it really does stink.
- No way. - It does smell.
Any which way.
- Lee Kwi-nam is suspicious. - About what?
Remember our sports competition last time?
The employee at Myungjang Beverage and Lee Kwi-nam during our breaktime.
I definitely felt like the two of them knew one another.
They acknowledged one another.
Really?
He's so mean. So mean.
Let's tell everyone if you're going to be this nervous.
Not yet.
Let's take our time and watch our situation.
Hiding our relationship also has the benefits of being thrilling.
Me too.
Should we use secret codes until we let people know?
- Secret code? - "I searched 'Office Dating" online and...
people use codes to communicate with one another...
and have secret rendezvous at work.
- Rendezvous? - Why are you laughing?
It's nothing. Please, go on.
Our secret code can be a cat and dog.
When I meow like a cat...
it means I'm asking you to meet me in this conference room after 5 minutes.
If the secret code is a cat and a dog...
- Then, I'm a... - Yes, you're a dog!
- Sound like a dog? - Don't be too obvious about it.
Like this.
If I hear that, I'll come to this room in 5 minutes. What do you think?
Well, Ms. Ahn. That's...
Why? Does it sound strange?
I'm being weird, aren't I?
This is me being too tacky, isn't it?
I shouldn't have searched online.
No, you're nowhere near weird or tacky.
- Like this? - Yeah.
From now on, okay?
Okay.
You're making your single friend really sad.
You can get one too.
A ring is asking too much when Bo-ram doesn't even answer my texts.
- Kang Bo-ram? - Yeah.
Is it because they're testing?
- Maybe he saw it while studying? - Then shouldn't he answer after?
That's true too.
I'll talk to him when I see him.
Don't do that. How about we meet up, like last time?
Okay.
- You two were here? - Yeah.
She was showing off her couple ring.
Why don't you have your's on, Gong Yoon?
It's true.
I was playing basketball and I was afraid it'd get scratched.
That's strange.
Oh my! What are you doing?
Don't misunderstand.
- I think a cat is somewhere in our office. - What?
No, it's just that I keep hearing a cat meowing for awhile.
Was that what I heard too?
I heard something awhile back too.
You did, right?
I think it might be a sick cat.
Its cries keep dying off.
- You heard it too, didn't you? - What?
No, I didn't hear anything.
- Did you hear it, Mr. Lee? - Excuse me?
I didn't hear anything.
That's strange.
What now?
- Do you have a cold? - I think so.
I kind of feel a cold coming on.
In the Summer?
- Make sure you don't spread it. - Yes, sir.
(4 minutes 59 seconds)
(5 minutes)
Where is my cold medication?
This kind of stuff should never be learned through the internet.
I thought we were going to get caught.
It's kind of fun for me.
- Then should we keep this up? - Sounds good.
We shouldn't be doing this during work hours.
I keep wanting to see your face even though you're sitting next to me.
And I want to keep talking to you.
- There's no playing hard to get with you, is there? - What?
I feel the same way.
It'll look strange if we go in together, so you go in first.
Okay, meow!
My goodness! Hello!
Hello. Where did you go?
Yes. My husband loves steamed monkfish...
so I went out to buy fresh monkfish.
I see.
I'll need to hurry home if I want to make 5 more side dishes.
You make that many side dishes?
That's not much! I should make at least 7 sides dishes...
for my husband who works so hard.
My goodness! You must be really good at cooking.
It's bare necessities.
I bet your husband loves it when you make so many things for him.
Yes, he loves it a lot.
But he loves me even more than that.
Is that right?
If you'll excuse us.
Alright. Have a great day!
Bye.
Do you really want to work your husband sorting soybeans after work?
Did I play all day?
We have to share our household chores.
I hate steamed monkfish.
I bought it because it was on sale! Just eat what you're given!
She's asking me to eat something I hate. Is she telling me to be an actor?
I'm cleaning them off, I'm doing what you asked.
You go ask her.
You know her better than me. Go ask.
Hey, Na Ik-hee!
You got a ring and bracelet. All you need is a necklace to top it off.
- A bracelet? What bracelet? - What?
That wasn't for you?
I heard Gong Yoon went with his friends to buy it after playing basketball.
I didn't get it yet.
- Then, that rumor must be true. - What rumor?
They say Gong Yoon actually likes Bae Min-suh...
but is going out with you to get her jealous.
What?
You didn't even get a bracelet!
- Then it must be right! - Do you feel like dying?
- What's wrong, Na Ik-hee? - He said...
No, it's nothing.
Look at this.
This is Myungjang Beverage's new product brochure.
Look at it.
It's exactly the same as what we've been preparing.
We used 98 as a slogan because we calculated the years.
The year Pyeongyang's factory closed. They used numbers to name their product.
It's true. What the heck is this?
What's more surprising is...
this slogan.
Not only is their business strategy the same...
but comments that were only said during our meetings are in here.
1919, Do you remember our March 1st Movement?
What does this mean? Then are those rumors true?
Couldn't it be a coincidence?
Tae-hee...
it can't be a coincidence when the name...
concept, target and wordings are all the same.
There are a lot of things overlapping, but let's not come to any conclusions yet.
How can you say that after seeing this?
Mr. Choi...
What are we going to do?
Aside from Myungjang's spy, the more important thing...
we need to worry about is that their launch day is 2 days ahead of our's.
What in the world is going on?
I don't want to say this, but there's a reason why I'm bringing it up now.
It's because Kwi-nam isn't here.
- Mr. Park! - Think about it!
We don't know anything about him since he was hired through a blind interview.
And don't forget our sports...
Let's be a bit more careful until we get all the facts.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, let's not be suspicious of one another.
It's only a rumor, so let's not doubt one another and start our meeting.
Let's not doubt one another since it could just be a simple leak.
A leak?
How could Team 2 be so careless?
How can you say that?
We're saying a leak is a possibility.
If it is a leak, how do you know it's from Team 2 instead of Team 1?
That's true.
You can't be sure that it was leaked from our sales team either.
Wait, everyone already knew about the rumors. Who else but the sales team?
Mr. Lee, can you lower your voice?
We have higher ups than us in here.
What? No, don't worry about me.
Team 2 must not have any concept of seniority.
I'm telling you this as your superior, Mr. Lee.
Stop with your useless mind games.
Now, now. I understand everyone is irritable.
Let's be reasonable.
Our business strategy team knows our situation.
New products will be displayed in stores in 3 weeks...
and they're stating there's no way to stop this.
So if you have any solutions, let's talk about them.
Who in the world can be the rat?
There's no countermeasure for this.
Now, now. Let's keep watching the situation.
But seriously, what is going on here?
I know that I like you and you know you like me...
but the both of us don't say a word.
I know that I like you and you know you like me...
but the both of us don't say a word.
- That was amazing! - Was it okay?
Yep. It was perfect.
- Have a good day. - Have a good day.
Sir...
listen to me first.
How can you do this?
If you do this, how am I supposed to continue working here?
Do you think this makes any sense?
Yes, let's do that.
Yes, the cafe in front of Shinchon Department store at 6:30.
I'll hang up now.
We need to get an idea of distribution channels...
so, I need someone to visit stores and find information on Myungjang's promotions.
I'll go do that.
Okay, you can take off work from there.
- Yes, sir. - Mr. Choi?
It might be a lot for Ms. Ahn, I'll take some samples out as well.
Really? Okay.
It'll be faster, if you two split up.
Yes, sir.
I'll go to stores in Mokdong, I'll meet you at Shinchon Department store at 7:30.
- Alright, I'll see you there. - Okay.
(A cafe in front of Shinchon Department Store at 6:30)
You're crazy, Ahn Jung-min. Why are you here?
How are you dating him if you can't trust him?
No, no.
There's no proof that those men are from Myungjang Beverages.
Let's not do this, Ahn Jung-min. I need to stop.
We don't know anything about him since he was hired through a blind interview.
And remember the sports competition?
What? Does this mean...
it's true?
Who cares if I go to tutoring classes when all I do is sleep there?
Why didn't you wake me?
You were sleeping so well, I didn't have the heart.
Why didn't the teacher wake me up?
What are you thinking about, Na Ik-hee?
Nothing much.
You must not be feeling well.
- Let's take Ik-hee home first. - Should we?
No, I'm okay. Let's take Min-suh home first.
It's alright. Let's go to your house first. Let's go.
Let's go.
- Hurry up. - Hurry up.
We're here.
I said I was okay. Why did you leave your car at work and walk with me here?
You said you enjoyed riding the bus with me.
So we could look at one another.
Yeah.
But you didn't even look my way tonight.
- I didn't? - Are you not feeling well?
- I'm fine. - No way. You look pale.
I think it's because I'm tired.
I should hurry in and get some rest. I'm going in.
Okay, I'll see you tomorrow.
Good night!
Dream about me!
You guys go ahead. I'm home.
Make sure your neck is warm when you go to sleep since we have band practice tomorrow.
Okay, Yoon.
You sure know how to take care of your girlfriend. Good night.
Then, that rumor must be true.
They say Gong Yoon actually likes Bae Min-suh...
but he's going out with you to get her jealous.
Gong Yoon, how come you don't have your couple ring on?
It's because I was playing basketball. I was afraid it might get scratched.
- What's wrong? - I don't know. She even locked her door.
I wonder what's going on. Was she like this as soon as she came home?
She wasn't crying, but she was acting twitchy.
Leave her alone and I'll ask her tomorrow morning.
Yeah. Darn girl.
She didn't even want to use the bathroom.
She went to school late because she came out way after you left for work.
Of course she didn't eat anything.
I don't know. This is so upsetting.
Yeah.
I told her not to go to tutoring tonight, so I'll ask when she gets home.
Okay.
Alright, I'll see you later.
Oh my gosh.
- Hello. - Hi.
- We're seeing each other often. - You're right.
- Is there something going on at home? - No, not at all.
My daughter seems to be getting a cold.
Excuse me, but do you hear odd noises from your neighbor?
- Excuse me? - Why would you ask that?
Hold on a second.
Have you heard your neighbor, who lives next to you, have fights?
What?
No, I haven't heard anything yet.
They're next door, but the house is L-shaped. They can only hear downstairs.
I'm sorry, but what are you two talking about?
There's a rumor that's saying, the couple from 702's marriage is on the rocks.
- Then those rumors were... - You heard those rumors too?
- Is it true? - No.
I'm not too sure.
You just said you heard something about that rumor.
That's what I heard from you two last time.
I told you the next door neighbor wouldn't know.
It's just rumors we heard as well. That's all.
I see. Well, if you'll excuse me.
Bye!
Hey, Na Ik-hee.
You finally woke up after sleeping throughout first period?
- Yeah, let me see your wrist. - My wrist?
- That's right! Where's your's? - What?
This is the friendship bracelet we got with Yoon.
- Friendship bracelet? - Didn't Yoon give you your's?
Gong Yoon!
- What? - Didn't you give Ik-hee her's?
What?
That's right! I forgot since we dropped off Ik-hee first.
- I accidentally left it home. - It's just like you.
You wore your's but forgot your girlfriend's?
Was that what happened?
I thought otherwise.
What's wrong with you?
Big new! Big new!
- What now? - They found out who Myungjang Beverage's spy is.
- Who? - Sales Team 1's Mr. Jang.
- Jang Seok-young? - Yep.
I thought he was too talented and kept getting promotions.
He wasn't a spy that Myungjang put in.
I heard an executive member there...
quit working at Myungjang Beverages for absolutely no reason.
They closed it off by giving an informal apology and decided to delay their launch.
Isn't it a relief?
Yes, what a relief.
- Isn't that right? - What?
Yeah.
Looks like our official rumor spreader has let everyone know the news.
Let's gather our strength and get ready for our new product.
- Go for it! - Let's go for it!
What the hell are you doing?
Are you out of your mind?
This is totally unfair, sir.
I was trying my hardest for our company.
You think it's unfair?
It's unfair, but your renewal date for the executive board is right around the corner?
Who is it?
How long has it been?
Team 2's Jang Seok-young.
It was before you got hired, young master.
I told you not to call me by that name!
Yes, yes.
I apologize.
Do you know why I'm working at Doremi instead of Myungjang?
Of course, I do.
That's why we're keeping it a secret from the CEO as well.
But you decided to do this?
Honestly, I was just trying to get a little bit of information.
But to our surprise, Mr. Jang was such a good employee...
and he brought information we didn't ask for. So, I...
Are you using that as an excuse?
It wasn't a coincidence that last season's merchandise was similar, was it?
Do you know what you've created?
You're making trash out of the company my grandparents established.
Can you ever forgive me, sir?
Please, forgive me.
- Then quit. - Excuse me?
Take back your spies you put in Doremi...
and let Doremi launch their product first.
How do you expect me to do those things?
If you don't follow through, I'll make it a public issue and ask for reparations.
Will you be able to handle that?
You can't do that either, can you?
So quit. Make sure you get it done by 12 tonight.
Young master! I mean, Mr. Lee. Young master!
Honey!
Are you finally home?
I bet you had another hard day!
Why are you doing this again when no one is around?
I really came out to greet you.
Why are you looking around? I really came to greet you.
Give me your bag. Good job today. Let's go home.
I really did come to greet you.
I can't believe this is happening.
(Episode 26: Tabloids, they gray between rumors and facts)
(Super Family 2017)
Dad, is this my new mom?
What's with this soap opera?
What are you thinking? Are you doubting me?
He's not capable of such things.
It could've been a split second mistake.
Oh my God! Chun-il did what?
- Should I get a DNA test? - You're making me get more suspicious.
How can you say that to his real wife?
- Real wife? - You need to keep it in your pants!
