(Episode 17)
Excuse me. May I help you?
We're from the Garibong franchise.
We're here to see Ms. Yu.
One second. Let me check for your appointment.
There is something we must tell her.
Yes.
Do you know who Mr. Baek Jin Sang is?
He got transferred from the head office.
He is about to be dismissed unfairly.
I'll talk to her for a second and come out.
What?
You can't just go in. Excuse me.
Wait, it'll only take a second.
It'll only take a second. Sir, please!
It'll only take a second. Just one second.
It'll take one second! No! Ms. Yu!
Stop it. That's enough.
My gosh.
Hi.
What?
Did you bring your letter of resignation?
No, I came back from frying chickens.
I had to tell you something important.
What?
Grandpa told me...
to start working as a director.
So I was wondering what you thought about it.
Well, you don't care for things like that.
And you aren't competent enough.
Come on, I got an MBA too.
You can't flat out say that I'm incompetent.
And I might start to care.
So what?
Are you saying that you'll do it?
The moment you accept that,
it'll be the beginning of a war between us.
And Marketing Team, which is as annoying as you,
will be dismissed as a team.
Is this...
a declaration of war?
What if it is?
What?
Will you...
take that job...
as a director?
Yes.
What?
I'm going to take that job.
How is the event going?
The participation rate is continuously going up.
And we're taking the feedbacks...
from the franchises about the complaints.
Do you want to take a look?
Shall I?
Look.
Just recently, I saw one of the employees...
of MW Chicken controlling a rude customer.
I thought you were going to reward him,
but I don't see anything about that.
Why are you suddenly holding this event?
Did that manager...
end up getting punished?
What?
One of our franchises is on the news?
Why?
One second.
This is a video taken by a customer at the scene.
- To a rude customer, - Isn't that Mr. Baek?
the manager gives him a stern warning.
That is not included in our service.
Get out of here, you jerk!
Then he went off to throw salt on him.
The footage caught the rude customer...
yelling out that he will get his revenge.
That customer was absolutely rude.
But they're saying they'll treat customers better...
and manage their employees in better ways.
It was absurd to see them hold...
such an event.
I wanted to commend that manager...
for what he has done.
A law that protects people from emotional labor...
was recently implemented.
But we are unsure about its effects.
If you all step up to help one another...
like the manager of today's story,
thinking that everyone is our family and friends,
don't you think the world will be a better place?
Seol Seung Ah, reporting with KBD News.
This is the Garibong franchise of MW Chicken.
- Hyun Taek, more boxes. - I'll take them.
Okay.
I have the chicken.
- Take these. - Okay.
These are for deliveries.
Okay. I'll go. I'll be back.
- Hello. - This is MW Chicken.
Yes, right now?
Excuse me! My gosh.
It'll take a bit longer than usual. Is that okay?
Yes, sure.
It's Mr. Baek. You're here.
You're here.
This is MW Chicken, Garibong franchise.
What's going on?
- What is it? - Look at this.
My gosh.
What are you looking at?
Look, isn't this you?
- My gosh. - Move!
Unbelievable.
What is this?
Isn't this you?
No, why would I do that?
I wouldn't do something like that.
- It is you. - Mr. Kim.
- Yes? - I need to talk to you.
Yes.
Yes, all right.
Hey, it's you.
I saw you on the news. You were so cool.
I didn't do it to be cool.
It's something that I must do...
as the manager of this franchise.
My gosh.
Can you tell us what you said...
when you got rid of that pervert?
I'm not an actor.
I'm not going to...
sell it to you, you jerk.
My gosh! You're so cool.
May I take a picture with you?
Well, that's a bit too much.
- My gosh. - You're so cool.
Oh, wait.
Mr. Manager, I want a picture too.
I'm a huge fan.
Well, I'll take one with them first.
Then I'll head over to you.
- Get ready. - This is awesome.
Wait, it's the backlight.
Sir, I'm sorry.
I just read that...
- Sorry? - It seems like...
I'll get fired before he does.
Let's put an end to all this.
If not, I'll sue your head office.
Wait...
(I think there should be more part-timers.)
Ms. Yu.
Close down this event.
They stopped the event.
There's going to be a lot of complaints.
- Gosh. - Gosh.
Come on. That's not the problem right now.
I'm so embarrassed.
What?
Go work.
Everyone's talking about Mr. Baek.
Phone calls supporting him are flooding in as well.
What should we do?
What do they see in him?
Let's focus on collecting marketing fee for now.
Sir.
The Garibong franchise is safe,
thanks to the customer's support.
The timing was perfect...
since it happened around the time...
people discussed about emotional distress...
at work.
Baek Jin Sang. You know,
I'm starting to like him.
By the way, sir.
What will you do with Mr. Kang Joon Ho?
Appoint him as...
the director of Business Innovations.
He needs to prepare himself...
to become the heir to this company.
I didn't know you had such a grand plan.
I'm running...
out of time.
Everyone agreed to your method regarding...
collecting marketing fee.
Oh, my. Thank you.
However, we have a condition.
Since all the stores made this request,
you must do it for us.
What is it?
So you're saying...
that we'll use Baek Jin Sang...
as our spokesmodel?
Yes.
All the stores...
That's absurd!
Ms. Yu.
Didn't you say that you'd destroy him?
Has that ever happened?
Sir. I understand that you are upset.
But please think about this rationally.
This can work in our favor.
What? In our favor?
All our stores' sales...
and our image are both soaring.
Our company's value is going up.
Instead of trying to destroy him, we should...
- look at the big... - So?
What if I do all this for the company...
and then lose it all?
What good will it do for me?
- Sorry? - The two scumbags...
are climbing up here!
Baek Jin Sang and Kang Joon Ho.
Are you talking...
about Kang Joon Ho from Marketing?
Yes, my nephew and the chairman's grandson.
I'm so frustrated.
Mr. Baek, what did you say?
All the MW Chicken franchises...
want me to become their spokesmodel.
And the head office agreed to it.
My goodness.
That means...
That the closing down of this franchise...
and my getting fired have both been taken back.
I can return to the head office.
Everything will be solved.
Mr. Baek.
I'm not dreaming, am I? This isn't a prank, right?
Are you that happy?
How can I not be?
Everyone went through so much.
You went through the most.
Oh, my.
Mr. Baek...
Are you empathizing with me?
That is why...
I'd like to give you a small gift.
A gift?
Hold on. What is this situation?
Is this his way of congratulating...
or encouraging me for succeeding the project?
Congratulations, Mr. Baek.
Thanks.
By the way...
So... Let me stop by the bathroom.
That came out too naturally.
Was I being too hasty?
She must feel more exhilarated than I am.
She better not get a heart attack and die.
We're back.
What's gotten into him?
I should've thrown him.
It's all right.
Fine.
You were just being nice to an elder.
Respect your elders.
Elders deserve respect.
- Goodness! - We did it!
We did it.
Yes, you heard it!
Strictly speaking, I did it.
But let's just say we all did.
Of course.
I'm sure you're right.
All right. Go on, and work.
- Let's go. - Okay.
- Let's go. - Mr. Kang,
where were you when you should've been working?
Your attitude these days is just not right.
You're indeed a team leader.
I was quite determined this time...
but became a bit disappointed.
What?
From now on, you don't need to try so hard.
I'm here.
What are you talking about?
I have no idea what you're talking about...
but do as you please.
(Feel Good to Die)
(MW Chicken Spokesmodel Appointment Ceremony)
Abiding by the manual...
is indeed important.
But whether that manual is fair...
and is correct in principles...
are things one must ponder about.
Look at me.
- Through this incident, - Smile.
you all have given us your support.
It was truly an example...
of social awareness...
regarding the importance...
of customers' rights...
as well as the workers' dignity.
Jung Mi.
Can I stop by from time to time and say hi?
I don't think you can.
What?
I'm going to quit next month.
I'm going to look for a full-time job.
Can we meet up in private then?
Then call me...
by my first name when we meet.
Bye.
Gosh, why are you so cold-hearted?
Happy?
By the way, Mr. Baek.
I mean, Team Leader Baek.
I learned so much from you.
Before, I didn't even know what I lacked.
And even now, I still have so much more to learn.
I'm a bit disappointed.
Then come work at the head office.
Sorry?
I'm sorry to say this, but Ms. An.
Let's do our best in each of our positions.
It's a bit cold.
- We're late. - You're right.
Ms. Lee, I'll drop you...
We'll see you tomorrow!
Goodbye.
We're here.
I'll be going in now.
See you tomorrow.
By the way...
Don't be surprised to see me at work.
What?
What kind of prank will it be this time around?
The best chicken is from MW.
(How far have you gone with chicken?)
(Have some chicken, and go on a trip!)
The best chicken is from MW.
Hey, turn the radio off!
It's too noisy.
(MW Foods)
Hello, sir.
Are you not feeling well?
Hey. Can you...
Can you please get rid of him?
- Goodness. - Yes, sir.
There are several. Which one do you not like?
What?
That...
Look at that.
The real deal is here.
Finally,
Baek Jin Sang is back.
- Mr. Baek! - Mr. Baek!
Are you back?
You did great back at the franchise.
I was surprised.
It was really nothing.
- Oh, my. Look. - He's here.
Mr. Baek.
Oh, my.
(Personnel Appointment)
Is...
Is Mr. Kang...
now a director? Goodness.
What is this?
- This quickly? - I know.
Everyone, don't be shocked to hear this.
What is it?
Director Kang Joon Ho...
is the president's nephew.
- What? - What?
He's the president's what?
- Then the chairman is... - The chairman...
Then Mr. Kang...
is the chairman's grandson?
That's true.
- Hello, Director Kang. - Hello, sir.
- Hello, sir. - Don't be like this.
This is how you say hi.
Right.
Let us go.
Goodbye, sir.
That's unbelievable.
How could this happen?
This company is full of surprises.
Is that why you couldn't work?
Mr. Baek.
But that seat is...
You all must've been quite comfortable.
No one was in their seats...
during working hours.
Do I need to nag at you once again...
That's not your seat.
You can sit here or...
the seat back there.
Sir.
- Yes? - What?
It's okay.
I'm the team leader. What is it?
There has been a delay in the delivery...
of goods for the branding event.
Distribution says it's that company's fault.
But the company said...
Distribution placed a late order.
What should I do?
Those goods cannot arrive late.
When did they place the order?
Who's in charge of it at Distribution?
Never mind. I'll call them.
That won't solve the issue.
Will attempting to find out who's responsible...
help the goods to be delivered quickly?
You should solve the issue first,
then find out who's responsible afterward.
Ms. Choi.
The warehouse...
probably has quite a bit of goods left.
See how many there are,
then check whether the company can...
quickly manufacture the rest.
Ms. Lee, bring me copies of the mail sent...
by Distribution...
and the one received by the company.
Include the date and time of when they checked.
Yes, sir.
Right.
Team Leader Park?
What should I do?
Shouldn't you give me something to do?
Sure, I'll give you work to do,
Mr. Waiting List.
Mr. Baek surely is Mr. Baek.
What do you mean?
That was scarier than just demanding...
his seat back.
Is he trying to claim it back?
Well, don't you think he's just being still...
because it's Mr. Park?
Gosh, how could you interpret it like that?
By the way, what's up with Director Kang?
I know. I'm curious as well.
I also found out after I came to work.
Really?
I guess she didn't know earlier.
No.
How is it?
Can you understand it?
This is unexpected.
The situation is truly...
Boring.
Sorry?
I think frying chicken suits me better.
I'm really good at frying them.
If you taste my chicken...
Please don't be absurd.
You had good grades in the States.
Well back then if I didn't get good grades,
I was told to return to Korea.
But...
I have to read financial statements all day.
And this. "Director of Business Innovations"?
I mean...
What exactly is my position?
The chairman has a very big plan in store.
And you're in the center of it.
For now, you should just focus...
on what's right before your eyes.
Goodness, I'm so exhausted.
Goodbye.
Why didn't you tell me?
That your grandfather is the chairman.
That this company was your family business.
That you were...
going to become a director.
You know I love surprises, right?
Then you've succeeded.
You took me by surprise.
Ms. Lee...
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can talk with you today.
I'll leave first.
- Hello. - Hey.
- Good morning. - Isn't it so cold?
It's so cold.
Was I too harsh yesterday?
Have lunch with me.
What?
I thought he would take me to a rice soup place.
What is this place?
Let's eat.
Sure.
It looks like you are in a bad mood today.
Why is that?
I'm sorry.
I won't let it affect work.
I'm not asking you as your boss.
Pardon?
You're so slow.
I'm giving you such a big hint.
You can talk to me comfortably...
if there is something on your mind.
As you know,
we aren't in an ordinary relationship.
Hey, Roo Da.
I'm sorry.
I don't think I can talk with you today.
I'll leave first.
Well, actually,
I think it's really hard...
to share how you feel...
between a person to another person.
I just had that thought.
Ms. Lee.
You have a crush on someone, don't you?
You knew?
My goodness.
You made it look so obvious.
Anyway,
what's so difficult for you?
Well, it's because...
we are in such different leagues.
Right.
I may seem unapproachable because I'm a team leader.
There is no such thing...
as leagues between people.
It's all about how you feel about each other.
It's about your hearts.
Mr. Baek.
You're so considerate.
Thank you so much.
I'll carve up my courage.
Sounds great.
Then this is the first day of the relationship.
The first day?
Oh, right. Thank you.
Roo Da, are you still angry?
I'm so sorry.
Let's meet in the meeting room.
Why do you feel so conscious?
Because I was wrong.
Do you know that you were wrong?
Of course, I do.
I didn't think that you may...
get hurt.
Just tell me everything from now on.
That's much better.
Okay.
Then will you forgive me?
I don't know.
There's something I have to tell you.
What is it again?
Grab a seat.
- Our plan for Christmas. - What?
I came up with a plan.
What do you think?
- Don't you like it? - No.
You don't? What about this one?
This looks great.
But it's not my taste.
My gosh, then I have one last one.
It's important for her to have the will to live.
But I don't think your daughter has that will.
Hyun Jung.
Without him,
will you be able to live?
(I do not want to live in a world where he lives.)
(Without him, will you be able to live?)
Finally, tomorrow is Saturday.
Ms. Lee, what's your plan? Getting some rest?
I don't know.
Goodbye, then.
Goodbye.
She's going to come...
and ask for my weekend plans.
Excuse me, Mr. Baek.
Yes, what?
I'll get going.
She's so shy.
Why did she ask me out if she's this shy?
I'll have to reach out to her first.
Ms. Lee. Where do you think I am?
Come out.
Joon Ho.
- Hop in. - Thanks.
Why is Mr. Kang here?
Sir! Can you... Can you follow that car?
An amusement park?
(Episode 18)
Hey, should we get on that?
Which one? That one?
Yes.
Let's go. The line looks long.
Okay.
No way.
It can't be. It just can't be right.
I haven't had this in forever. It's pretty good.
Isn't it?
Okay, here we go.
- And 2, 3. - And 2, 3.
I'll take your pictures.
What?
- Pose. - Make me look pretty.
In 1, 2, 3.
Mom, look at them.
- What? - One more.
They definitely just started dating.
- Right? - Yes.
Ma'am!
Do you know them?
What?
You don't know anything! Don't say that!
They're just taking pictures!
Mom, he's weird.
My gosh. He must be insane.
I can't believe him.
Have they also angered the skies?
Gosh, it's cold.
What's wrong with the weather?
Are your hands cold?
Yes.
Gosh, it's cold.
What?
There we go.
No.
Don't do it.
Mr. Baek.
What?
How dare you make a fool of your own team leader?
What did you say?
Did you think you'd be able to fool me?
What are you talking about?
This can never happen.
I'll put everything back to its place.
- My goodness. - My gosh.
I will never forgive you.
Honey, my goodness.
- What's your problem? - Why are you dating him?
You jerk. Do you want to die?
(December 22, Second Saturday)
I can't believe this.
Baek Jin Sang, that jerk.
How could you purposely activate the time loop...
when we've been trying so hard to prevent it?
Why did you do that?
What's wrong? Does it upset you...
that I stopped you guys from kissing?
That's my private life.
Why do you even care?
What's wrong with him?
You were two-timing me.
And now, you're asking me why I care?
Two-time?
What?
Who two-timed you? And with whom?
I'm talking about you.
You and I were dating.
Wait a second.
Are you saying that you and I...
were in a relationship?
What? Have you gone mad?
I dated you?
Since when? How? Why?
I knew it.
I'm sure you had fun playing with my heart.
I'm not an easy guy to seduce.
So you probably enjoyed seeing me...
do things your way.
You pretended as if you liked me...
and made me do such absurd things.
Then you even made me sign a memorandum.
You are...
one darn femme-fatale!
Listen to me.
I was going to just brush off...
all the nonsense that you were spewing out.
But this is way over the line.
Did you just say that I pretended...
to like you?
Yes.
Do you think that makes any sense?
Why would I like you?
What?
You're a middle-aged man...
who's 10 years older than me.
And look at you.
You dress horribly.
And you're a narcissist...
who thinks you're the best.
You're crossing the line.
To sum it up,
you're a very...
unlikeable person.
Just wait and see. You'll never see tomorrow.
I'm going to constantly turn back time.
Roo Da.
I'm...
going to kill you.
- Enjoy. - Thank you.
Have a good day.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
Wait!
Again?
What?
Are you exhausted already?
What a jerk.
- What happened? - Are you okay?
- Sir. - Are you okay?
I hoped that he'd die in my head.
Darn it.
(December 22, 17th Saturday)
This is nice.
My gosh, I'm so sick of this!
You're sick of going on dates?
I'm sick of cleaning.
I'm sick of doing household chores.
I'm sick of being single, and I'm sick of you too.
You're really weird today.
What?
Your mind's been wandering all day.
You didn't enjoy any of the rides.
And you don't seem interested in me at all.
That's not true.
You should go home.
You must be really tired today.
Joon Ho, you're mistaken.
That leech.
I might as well just...
- My goodness. - What's going on?
You darn jerk!
This is all your fault.
I told you not to die!
- Don't die! - Wait.
- Mr. Baek? - Just tell me to die.
You're really going to kill me at this rate.
- Let me go! Don't die! - Roo Da.
Don't die!
Don't you dare die before I die!
Gosh, my neck.
(December 22, 18th Saturday)
How dare she attack her own boss?
I'm going to teach her a lesson.
Mr. Baek, can we talk?
What is it?
Do you finally feel like apologizing?
Okay, then.
Let's hear how you're going to apologize.
I'm the crazy witch.
Your apology...
is a lot rougher than I thought it'd be.
I'm saying I'm a crazy witch for thinking...
that you could actually change.
This is not a matter of...
whether or not I like someone.
Is this time loop...
a joke to you?
Sir, you can't go inside.
Sir, please calm down.
You're the one that killed me earlier.
You're the one that started this fight...
for some absurd reason.
Do you know how much effort I put into you...
in order to stop this time loop?
Do you not care at all about your life?
Are you okay with killing yourself...
again and again like it means nothing?
You don't even deserve to be human.
You're the worst!
This isn't good. Get me the defibrillator.
Hurry.
Why are you so angry?
- Let's just talk it out. - Okay.
Just die if you want to die so much.
- What? - Just keep dying...
if you want to die that much.
I'll say it again and again for you.
Jin Sang.
Die.
Move back.
1, 2, 3. One more time.
1, 2, 3.
One more time.
Die.
I said, die.
Why aren't you dying? Die.
What?
You little...
Die, Jin Sang!
Fine, kill me!
- Die! - Kill me.
How many times must I tell you to die?
- Kill me! - Die!
What?
Why am I not dying?
No way.
Is the time loop gone?
I... I didn't die, right?
No way.
Do you really think...
the time loop's gone now?
What's wrong with you?
Are you crazy?
It's gone!
That darn time loop is finally gone.
But this is just so sudden.
We don't know why it suddenly disappeared.
It started without a reason,
so it's gone without a reason.
Anyway, the important thing is...
that I no longer...
have to get involved with you anymore.
Right?
Fine! I won't ever be talking to you...
outside the office from now on!
Don't you ever talk to me again!
Don't talk to me!
(December 24, End of time loop)
Hello.
- Mr. Park. - Yes?
It's about the meeting with the TF Team...
that's being supervised by Director Kang.
He wants one person from your team to participate.
Really?
Then how about Ms. Choi?
Actually, no. Ms. Lee, you should go.
Okay.
Why did he have to send Ms. Lee?
AI Capital?
It's a global investment company in America.
They invested 200 million dollars...
in a financial firm in Singapore last year...
and earned 10 percent of the profit.
And now, they're looking for another firm...
- to invest in Asia. - So are you saying...
we should let them invest in our company?
You want us to expand the business...
and give it to them?
AI Capital would never...
make a move for a small firm like ours.
But it's a different story when it comes to MW Foods.
Director Yu.
What are you thinking right now?
Sir.
Do you remember what I said during my interview?
I told you that I decide to work at this firm...
so that I could take you to a higher position.
Yes, you did. So?
In order to survive,
you need to attack...
before you get attacked yourself.
You have to come to Korea right now.
Let's begin the meeting.
Director Kang.
I have something to say before we begin.
Yoon Mi.
Okay.
- What's this? - Our team...
came up with a manual on how to take care of...
the mental health of the employees...
that are working at our restaurants.
That's nice. Can you please explain?
Yes, of course.
Let's take a look at the presentation...
along with the material we've prepared for you.
My gosh.
15 pages? Wait.
Who planned this?
Well... Pardon?
Who pitched the idea and made this?
Who was it?
Well, that was...
It was done by everyone in HR.
We're a team.
And I'm their leader.
Oh, I see.
Yes.
Should I continue?
From now on, I want the person in charge...
to give me a report regardless of your ranks.
I forbid you to make presentation files.
And I want the written report to be...
no longer than a page long.
The recent advertisements are receiving...
a lot of good responses.
That's because the model is good.
But a lot of people are worried...
because some restaurants aren't doing that well...
due to the recession.
Then instead of trying to increase their sales,
how about we try to reduce the costs...
that go into maintaining the restaurants?
That's a good idea.
We can also promote that the head office...
wishes to coexist with the restaurants.
How about we return the marketing fees...
that we collected from the restaurants?
Well...
I'm sure the restaurants would be happy about that.
But will that really be okay?
It says in the contract that the marketing fee...
is included in the royalty fee.
Let's go ahead with the idea.
I'll report to the upper management.
Okay.
She doesn't even look at me anymore.
Hey.
Master Baek.
"Master"?
Don't you have something to give me today?
Give you what?
The advertisement analysis report of other companies.
You said you'll hand it in by today.
Are you aware that you're really weird these days?
- Pardon? - You always had a temper,
but you were still rational and consistent.
But these days, you're so over the place.
What are you so focused on?
- That's... - You're acting...
very unusual these days.
Please get to your senses.
To sum it up,
you're a very...
unlikeable person.
Anyway, the important thing is...
that I no longer...
have to get involved with you anymore.
Gosh, was I too harsh on him?
I feel so uneasy about it.
- Roo Da. - Hey.
Did you wait a long time?
No, I just got here myself.
- Let's go, Joon Ho. - Okay.
You're acting very unusual these days.
Please get to your senses.
Yes.
I'm not myself these days.
Why was I so angry?
Do you think that makes any sense?
Why would I like you?
Was it because...
I simply couldn't accept the fact...
that Ms. Lee doesn't like me?
My gosh, you jerk!
Don't worry too much.
No.
That's not it.
I...
How was it? Did you enjoy the movie?
I'm not sure.
The male lead goes into a time loop, right?
I didn't like that part. It made no sense.
I see.
It does make no sense.
Hello?
Ms. Lee.
I have something to say.
I can't talk right now.
No, just listen.
I was too much.
Pardon?
I don't know how I can put this,
but I don't want you to hate me.
I keep on thinking about how angry you were.
And each time I think about that,
I feel sick like I have an upset stomach.
So...
what I want to say is...
Wait, Mr. Baek. Is something going on?
Where are you?
Mr. Baek?
Yes.
Where are you, Mr. Baek?
I'm at the intersection in front of the office.
This car is following me.
No, I think they are after me.
What?
Who's following you? What's going on?
Who are you? Stop it!
Mr. Baek. Mr. Baek?
What's wrong, Roo Da?
Oh, I'm sorry. I have to go.
Roo Da!
Please, no.
No!
At that moment,
I became very desperate.
No!
I shouted this with all of my strength.
Die. Die right now! Please!
(Feel Good to Die)
I've been learning a lot thanks to you, Ms. Lee.
So don't give up on me.
They texted you...
that your contract ended? Is this real?
A sit-in?
- The contract workers? - Thank you.
Just get rid of them with this chance.
I'll give you a hand...
on looking for the culprit.
Who are you?
We got in this together,
so we'll end it together too.
Ms. Lee! No!
