My name is not Queen of Rote Memory.
Whatever it is! I don't care, so leave.
Queen of Rote Memory.
My name is...
Kim Boon Hong.
Episode 2
Kim Boon Hong!
I'm not.
There's no way!
The world's evilest
King of Rudeness.
He has no manners towards humans!
But you don't even know yet if you got in or not—
I didn't make it! I totally didn't make it!
I said he told me to get out while I was right there.
Okay, you didn't make it.
Shut up you sons of bitches!
What's the point of losing my temper?
Oh, so loud!
What are you going to do holding your annoyance over someone's head?
So loud! Shh!
Why is it only me? What have I done?
What did I do?!
No. The hiring criteria said candidate's school and degree major doesn't matter.
Because he said to dream, I dreamed. Well? Why was he like that?
He's just saying that.
It turned out well. From the beginning, I thought this was extreme.
There must be many candidates from the relevant major. Why would you want to ...
Hey! So I said something too.
I said that my name is Kim Boon Hong.
Who is Kim Boon Hong?
Then this human's rabbit eyes totally returned.
Why are you saying someone else's name?
That's true.
Why did I do that?
What's wrong?
Are you crying, Bo Ra?
Yeah.
I'm crying.
Did you see what was uploaded on SNS?
Now, you aren't just vicious, you've risen to the rank of devil incarnate.
Anyway, your presentation for this year was awesome.
But the real hit was the Queen of Rote Memory.
But... doesn't she look like someone?
I'm not sure because I saw her from far away. Who?
No...
Here.
What is this?
An invitation to dinner from the Ministry of Science and Communication. Three days from now.
Vice Minister Jeong is hosting it. All the IT people will be attending.
It an opportunity for you to persuade her.
Why, out of all women does it have to be that woman again?
I said I don't like her. She's so old fashioned. She's so nosey.
Government this. Budget that. So what does she want me to do?
So you're not going? Without going through Vice Minister Jeong, there's no way to solve the DS problem.
Can't you persuade her?
I set the whole thing up.
The CEO should do it personally.
Here.
I trust you. That's why I picked you.
Goosebumps (cheesy), really.
You say that again.
I'm leaving.
That's what I mean.
Before I was a CEO of a company, I already was a programmer and a creator.
I said I'm not a student going to a lecture for that old-fashioned person.
If she asks me to compete based on technology or program, sure I'll do it.
Why should I sit in front of her who memorized the proposal so thoroughly and offer smiles and flattery?
I said I trust you.
That's enough.
Yeah, you thought well.
It was unreasonable from the beginning.
Since you realize it, so even if it's now, you should give up.
We have the original technology ...
Why should I give up?
Who said I'm giving up?!
Your head is unreasonable to think that it's unreasonable from the start!
CEO Lee, you are the CEO, but
I'm the hyung.
Well. What should we do?
Let's have another person ready for Vice Minister Jeong at the dinner. With strategy.
- Because the Vice Minister Jeong's Achilles' heel is security, let's have a security expert ready. - Achilles' heel?
Last year there was a problem with the national pension system.
Who is the expert? Steve?
Do you want this to fail?
It must be the model student style who can memorize everything about the DS project. A woman.
The kind of person who is a 100 percent complete answer to the Vice Minister Jeong's question,
the DS proposal from start to end by rote memory.
Yeah, so who is that?
How about the Queen of Rote Memory who came to the company presentation?
Does that make sense? She isn't even an employee.
It's a bit much.
Right? See.
Hold on.
But, at the same time,
- I do think those two codes will match perfectly. - Right!
What's her name?
- Kim Boon Hong. - Kim Boon Hong?
No, not that Kim Boon Hong.
Kim Beom Soo.
Kim Bo Young.
Kim Bo Ra.
- There's no Kim Boon Hong. - There's none here either.
Is she really a Kim?
Wait a second.
I think it's this person.
Right? But... her name is Kim Bo Ra.
Kim Bo Ra.
Bo Ra.
The Best in the Universe Bo Ra.
Hit the company you want!
So Mi So isn't coming to school anymore?
That means she got employed.
Lucky, I'm jealous.
She'll be happy, right?
Yes? I don't need it.
Yes?
Yes.
Yes!
- It's Next In. - They made an offer?
He said to come to a meeting with the CEO tomorrow.
- Daebak. - You got an offer!
Today, out of the blue!
Congratulations!
Perhaps...
No! This is an opportunity!
Oh, I'm nervous.
Why am I so nervous?
Don't be intimidated.
It's okay. He is a person, just like you.
He's not any... any... any different from you.
He's really different.
The last office on the second floor is the CEO's office.
Yes.
After ten years Korea's IT NEXT IN Lee Yoo Chan, Min Tae Joo
Excuse me...
Kim Boon Hong?
Kim. Boon. Hong.
- I'm Kim Bo Ra. - You said you're Kim Boon Hong.
I never said that. I'm Kim Bo Ra.
Fine, in any case.
Kim Bo Ra, how much per day?
Daily rate, daily rate.
Not that kind of daily rate. Why would I ask for you if I had that in mind?
I mean a daily wage. Haven't you worked part time?
Oh...
Seven Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Won per hour.
If it's for 72 hours?
542,160 won
Okay, I'll give you ten times that.
Digital Secretary
You said your special skill is memorization. Memorize all of that.
Don't miss a single character. Everything from start to finish.
You can do it, right?
For the next three days, you are a Next In employee.
System Security Team.
What?
You don't know security? Se-cur-ity!
Ah, never mind.
Even if you don't know, be it. I just want you to pretend.
- Only for three days? - Three days, then ...
Ah, wait, wait. Did you perhaps think that you were accepted?
Oh, Vice President. Explain to her.
This friend... misunderstood that she got in!
Oh my gosh.
Are you sure you can do it for three days?
Yes! I have confidence in memorizing everything.
- But... are you the vice president of this company? - Yes.
Next In has applied for a government project. It is a digital secretary and
it's an artificial intelligence security program. This is it.
The item is good and development is almost complete.
The person in charge is the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Communication and Science.
- Is it Vice Minister Jeong Yeong Sook? - You know her?
I do. The youngest female vice minister. She's my role model.
Ironically, femininity has been guarded by men
so that women can faithfully fulfill their secondary roles created by them in the country, society, and systems—
- What are you doing? - It's the preface to the book which Jeong Yeong Sook wrote, "The Country of Women."
- Did you memorize the whole thing? - Just the preface.
You're perfect. We made a good catch.
All the references and documents are here, for your information.
Yes.
Ah, right, right.
Also, you need to know something.
It might be a bit weird.
CEO Lee does not recognize people's faces very well.
He has facial agnosia (face blindness).
Don't be taken aback when he can't recognize your face.
Just tell him your name first. That's what all the workers here do.
Yeah, I know.
No... I heard it from the workers here.
Okay.
You can eat here. This is all free for workers.
- All of these in the snack bar too. - For free?
- Yeah. - Wow!
Ah, also.
It's free when you have this around your neck.
That's enough of an explanation isn't it?
Anyway, it's just for three days so you just have to know this.
Yes. It's going to be three days.
It must be hard having this (short-term work) since this is the season for job searching. Will it be okay?
On top of school exams, part-time jobs, cover letters for job applications,
every person you meet asks you how your job search is going. I've been there.
Yes.
It's temporarily vacant so you can use this desk.
If you don't know something, ask me anytime. My room is next to the CEO's upstairs.
Okay. Thank you, Vice President!
- Kim Bo Ra. - Yes?
The Best in the Universe, Bo Ra.
Ah!
Stay strong! It'll turn out well.
Did you know that your 31st company could be your forever company?
My spot.
My desk.
Although only for three days.
All right. Let's do it. Let's see the book.
Work.
I almost lost 10 years of my life (from being nervous).
The proposal document?
Kim Bo Ra.
Yes.
Did you memorize all of this?
Not yet.
Do you have time to go home?
We only have 62 hours left.
I focus better when I'm at home!
This is all free?
It's not totally free.
I had to go through a lot of difficulties.
What kind of difficulties?
Anyway, I really like that company.
I really like it!
You would like it, but what's the use? You're not even an intern, but a part-time worker?
No, I could get employed.
How?
I think the vice president there kind of likes me.
The vice president? How does he know you?
A few days ago I went to check out Next In and I accidentally met him.
I didn't know then he was the vice president.
But today...
The Best of the Universe Bo Ra!
And?
What? That's it. What more do you want?
- Is he single? - Probably.
- His age? - About 35, 36?
Is he good looking? Never mind.
If he is Next In's vice president, his face is an accessory.
He's perfect!
What? No, no, not to that extent!
Not for you, he's perfect for me.
Cheesy.
Hold on! Hold on, hold on!
I'm Kim Bo Ra.
There are only 53 hours left.
I understand.
- Don't forget a single word. - Yes.
What is this?
What?
I said what is this? Where did you get this necklace?
I got it as a present.
- From whom? - What?
Why!
What do you mean why?
CEO...
What is going on?
Hello.
Would you like to trade this?
Take a look at this. What do you think?
Now you don't have to come to me first.
Because with this, I will recognize you first.
Until when?
It won't be forever, right?
You'll recognize me someday.
Who exactly are you?
It's the profiles of the government officials and IT personnel at the dinner.
So that you know everything just by looking at the face, memorize them all.
If you give this to me right now...
There are still 44 hours left. In any case, memorize them.
Why? Is the money too little?
No. I'll memorize it.
- And that necklace! Don't wear it around the company. - What?
There's no special reason, so just don't wear it. It's making me uncomfortable.
Holy Father, omnipotent and eternal Lord God,
whenever and wherever, we are grateful to you, Father ...
Did you know you have a red mole on the back of your neck?
DS ... security.
I knew this would happen.
You slept, right?
No.
The CEO is here and you slept.
Don't worry, CEO Lee. Kim Bo Ra is an absolute machine.
You're going to finish everything by tomorrow, right?
Yes.
- Eat it while you work. - What is it?
Sushi!
You didn't eat dinner, right?
Do you want to eat some sushi too, CEO? There's going to be leftovers.
I don't want to.
If you don't, then never mind.
Eat it slowly. No one is going to steal it.
♫ It's alright, I'll go to you whenever you need ♫
♫ Whenever I start to miss you ♫
♫ I'll be hiding on your way back home ♫
♫ And I'll surprise you ♫
Input!
Yes! Now, on to the next.
♫ I'll take you to our own secret refuge ♫
♫ Hang on tight, so your heart won't go anywhere ♫
♫ I just want you, your lovely smile ♫
♫ Don't show it anywhere else ♫
♫ Because I get really jealous and you're mine ♫
♫ I just want you ♫
♫ I'm gonna make your fourth finger shine ♫
♫ Just wait, you'll find out ♫
♫ My real love in my heart ♫
Let's see. How about this person?
It's Vice Minister Jeong Hoon Yeong. He's the first vice minister in the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Communications.
He tends to be conservative. Although he is favorable towards Taesan Electronics,
he is critical of supporting Next In's business and he's never met CEO Lee.
How should we respond?
Praise his achievements during his tenure in the Ministry of Knowledge
and be sure to respond to the jokes he makes.
Then what about this person?
Director of the Ministry of Science and Technology Yang Je Hyeok
and next to him, Chief Communications Officer Choi Jeong Gyu.
They are key players in the support of the IT industry.
Last month they were at the working level of the Ministry of Communications meeting.
Why are you doing this?
I said just try to convince Vice Minister Jeong well.
Then what about this one?
He is the president of Next In.
- It is said he has a lot of charisma, but truthfully, he is a rude jerk ... - What?
and he is a dimwit who can't recognize people's faces.
- Perfect! - What do you mean perfect?!
At the dinner, these people will probably be the main guests.
However, in case there may be some variation, you must be clear on the profiles of the other participants.
And if this idiot CEO doesn't recognize someone and says the wrong things,
don't forget to gently give him a hint.
Of course.
Is this the final check? You asked me here to see this?
Kim Bo Ra, what happened to the DS proposal? Did you memorize the whole thing?
Yes, almost all.
I said it's not almost, but 100 percent! Don't miss a single word!
Now there are 14 hours left.
Kim Bo Ra is a good person. She does everything like it's her own.
Because money is on the line.
No. It's because we're lucky.
It's because we have such good people by our side like Director Nam and Kim Bo Ra.
The company doesn't need good people. It needs someone useful.
What about me? Does it need me?
Isn't that obvious? Otherwise, we would have part ways already.
You... just...
Seven years have passed so quickly.
A company which started in a small garage now has 200 employees.
This wall is our history, don't you agree?
Next In: Lee Yoo Chan & Min Tae Joo
If you use our platform, the impact, of course, will be huge.
So... you want the name of the game that I made under your company's name?
That's the condition of your employment. And naturally, there will be incentives.
These are the conditions of our offer. Of course, there will be incentives offered too.
Do I look like just another applicant lining up to be hired by Taesan?
I came on a fool's errand.
I though you would give me some money to start a company or something.
Thanks for the tea.
You!
To be honest, he's right.
You're trying to use tricks to steal a toy from the hand of a child.
Mr. Lee Yoo Chan.
Are you only going to make games in the future?
If it's fun, I make everything.
Then would you like to do it together?
You make it, and I sell it.
What do you think?
Please take this to the inside over there.
Have you thought of a name for the company?
Next innovation, for short NEXT IN.
Oh, next innovation.
I like it!
Give us ten years. By then, Next In will be the best in our country.
After 10 years
Korea IT's
NEXT IN
Lee Yoo Chan
Min Tae Joo
Let's try our best.
I'm taking it. One, two, three.
Now there are only 3 years left.
- Already that late? - What do you mean already?
This is not the end, but only the beginning.
And in the next 10 years, NEXT In
will not be the best in Korea, but the best in the world.
Where do you get your limitless confidence?
Because I believe in you.
If it's you, you can do it. That's the reason I picked you.
I really hate those words.
My heart cringes.
What do you mean your heart cringes?
- Your heart cringes? - It does.
What's wrong with you?
What?
Hey.
Don't come closer. Don't!
I spent the whole night awake.
- Hello? - Where the hell are you?!
Where would I be? Of course, after spending the whole night awake, I just came home and am now...
Taxi! Taxi! I'm outside right now.
Mister, please step on it, I'll give you double.
I'll be there soon, CEO. See you soon.
I have lost it! Completely!
Oh, that's Kim Bo Ra, right Team Leader?
- I'm sorry I am late. - You just arrived?
Yes.
- Did you memorize everything? - Yes!
- What's with these clothes? Is it a school uniform? - What?
This... this... I didn't tell you the dress code.
Oh, what do we do? Do you have other clothes?
Ah, I don't think my size will fit her.
If you tell me your size, shall I go and get some clothes?
Office Head Yoon, did you get the picture?
I'll go right now so please make the girl in that picture look more like a human.
Let's meet in front of the dining room an hour from now.
- Hey, CEO Lee! - Team Leader, where are those two going? (Informal)
Going. (Formal)
Be kind! (Informal)
Get out.
Where do you want to go all of a sudden?
To change your clothes. Are you going to a dinner in that school uniform?
What about it? It's quite nice if you ask me!
But only you see it that way.
I don't want to!
Now you can't wear it, right?
Welcome.
This friend.
Hello.
- Fixed (this is it). - Yes.
Really?
Yay!
Thank you.
We did this job but
you are really pretty.
You are so pretty.
Get in, hurry.
Oh, they're coming over there.
What about these?
Just leave them in there.
Oh.
Wow.
Who might this be?
- Pretty! - Let's get moving.
I can't do it.
Are you kidding?
Miss Bo Ra?
I believe in you,
because you can do it. That's the reason I picked you.
That was my line.
Did you copyright it? Let's share it.
Hold on. Miss Bo Ra.
There is Minister Jeong.
Do well. I'm going to chat with the staff in charge. Good luck!
Good luck!
Hello, Vice Minister. I am Next In's Lee Yoo Chan.
Hello.
Over here is my company's Kim Bo Ra.
Nice to meet you.
Please take a seat.
If you link Next In's new technology, DS, with websites of the public institutions,
anyone can easily access and manage by voice
all the public data related to an individual,
such as the family register, pension, insurance and taxes.
Isn't Next In a mobile game developer company? That's what I know about it.
In any case, compared to the infrastructure and human resources available in a large enterprise—
When we first went into the SNS field, everyone said that.
But now we have 10 million subscribers in Korea, and the number of overseas subscribers is growing exponentially.
In just three years.
Mini File.
Oh, Mini File?
The size and the brand of the company are not what matters.
Isn't it the stability and technology of the system?
Do you have a solution to the problem of security?
Of course.
I think that the greatest concern probably from the government's perspective
is the security of the DS, the digital secretary.
Because the sites of the various government ministries contain important personal information,
when a DS device is installed,
it's about the risk of my personal information being leaked or abused using just my voice.
However, I am confident that if we can ensure the stability of the security issue,
the public opinion will definitely become favorable.
After all, a system of security is a technical issue.
Are you that confident about the technology?
Yes. Drafts of the DS voice security system have been submitted to the ISO and
the system is currently undergoing international standardization procedures.
If Next In has such a talent as her, why have you been hiding all this time?
Recently, in the IT field too, woman are making great strides.
In any field, it's a time when women's leadership is necessary. Now.
Regarding such matters, it will be best to talk with our staff in charge.
Please call Director Yang for me.
He's the staff in charge regarding this business policy and you probably have been introduced to him already.
I'm sorry to interrupt. The vice minister would like you to come over.
The vice minister is asking for me?
The blue tie, Director Yang Je Hyeok for Communication Policy.
The stripe is Choi Jeong Gyu, Chief of the Information Security Agency.
You met at the working meeting of the Ministry on the 17th last month.
You know him, right? Next In's CEO Lee Yoo Chan.
Hello, Director Yang.
Chief Choi. It's been a while.
It's been a while since we met at the working meeting.
It would be nice to see Team Leader Kim often. More often than CEO Lee.
Will you be attending the next working meeting?
Of course she will be there. She's the person in charge.
See you next time.
Let me say this once more, trust us about security.
If it were Next In's DS, nothing as absurd as the omission of the pension records last year will happen.
You said that for me to hear?
Excuse me?
That? No, that's not it. Last year, due to errors in the system server at the Ministry of Health and Welfare,
millions of pension records were omitted costing billions of won and causing a controversy.
Naturally, it's largely my fault.
Until last year, I was at the Ministry of Health and Welfare and was in charge of the pension records.
It's never easy to computerize 50 million people.
There are limits to people and to systems.
However, the best thing to minimize that risk
is going to be Next In's technology.
Then, is the technology able to make my past mistake go away?
I just...
What the heck were you thinking?!
Did you plan to mess up my project?
Because you were sipping wine with the executives, did you think you really had become somebody?
Can you not differentiate when to step in and when to not in that head? Why couldn't you have asked?
Who the hell are you to cause such a fuss?
CEO Lee, stop. It's my fault for not telling her that much.
If you memorize a book completely, what do you do? She doesn't know how to use it.
You... are not the Queen of Rote Memory. You're just... an idiot who can uselessly memorize.
You are good for nothing in this company!
I don't want to see you. Don't ever come across me again, Kim Bo Ra.
CEO Lee.
He and his temper...
Are you alright, Miss Bo Ra? We should go, as well.
I will take you home.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. Good bye.
Bye.
Left turn signal light Pedestrian Signal
You know, you did really well today, right?
It was totally above my expectations.
Although it's true that you made a small, very small mistake in the end.
I know.
Because of the small mistake, everything is ruined.
That's not true. Everything will be fine.
And even if it is not, it is not your fault.
Don't cry.
Tomorrow, I will scold CEO Lee for you.
Again!
Really?
Oh, what is this? You weren't crying because you felt bad but because you were angry?
Let us go and get something to eat.
In there I thought you had an upset stomach and couldn't eat a thing. Right?
Although you are a good eater.
Yes, I'm hungry.
Let us go.
Get in.
What should we eat? What do you like to eat?
I like everything.
Then let's go there.
There is a street vendor that sells French homemade meals.
Alright.
There is also something I wanted to ask you.
You know who Kim Boon Hong is, right?
I thought I had misheard, but why did you do it?
Why did you say you were her, when you are not?
It's my thinking, but I think you know who Kim Boon Hong is.
And you also knew about CEO Lee. And that's why you used the name.
Am I wrong?
I'm sorry, but please let me off here. I totally forgot I had a part-time job to get to.
Thank you.
Miss Bo Ra.
Why did you do it?
You're not Kim Boon Hong, but why did you say you were?
Like a fool.
Kim Boon Hong, where are you? What's the matter?
I'm going crazy with worry. I can't do anything. Please text me.
I don't know whether you are alive or dead! Won't you talk to me?
What did I do wrong?
You shouldn't do this to me. You shouldn't do this to us.
- I will wait. Come back, anytime. - I can't go back. Don't wait for me. Please forget about everything.
