What do you know? You don't even know love.
Do you know love then?
You've been single all your life.
I've read a lot about it in books.
That's great.
The water must be boiling.
Why is he lying face down?
No! No! Don't do that!
Just for a little while.
Let me stay like this for a little while.
From now on, I am going to be madly in love...
with you.
That's what it was written...
in that childish book.
Is this what they call romance?
You already memorized the book.
Your memory always surprises me.
Is the water still boiling?
- Try it. - Okay.
I usually don't eat food packed with chemicals.
But since you put an effort into cooking it, I will eat it.
Okay. I am honored.
What do you think?
- It's quite nice. - Is it really?
The noodles taste much better when you eat it with kimchi.
You just doubled up the sodium level.
Does it make sense in nutritional science?
I enjoyed the noodles.
You sure did. You said it was packed with chemicals,
but you still really enjoyed it.
It was my first time eating the food you cooked.
Was it?
Before you go to bed, make sure to disinfect...
and apply ointment to your wound.
I will.
Thank you...
for today.
(Episode 5)
Actually, it was his first time coming into my house.
Mr. Lee?
He didn't leave anything.
Hey.
What are you doing here?
Of course I'd burst in unannounced.
It's not like I'd make a reservation.
Here. You have beer, right?
Yes.
What's this? Was someone here?
What are you talking about?
Mr. Lee was here.
Goodness, goodness, goodness, you must be out of your mind!
How dare a grown woman let a man into her home!
All he did was eat ramen and leave.
What? Ramen?
Not jjolmyun or jjajangmyun, but ramen?
Is ramen that big of a deal?
Of course it is!
If a woman says,
"Want to eat ramen before you leave?" to a man,
they're pretty much saying, "If you eat this ramen,"
"we're dating now!"
It means that she likes you.
But it's not like it's caviar or truffles.
It's fast food that is filled with chemical additives,
yet the act of asking one to stay and eat that...
has that kind of meaning behind it?
Goodness, what a naive owner you are.
Ramen is just an excuse!
If a man and a woman stay together in an enclosed space,
they start wanting to hold hands...
and embrace one another.
- What's wrong? - Nothing.
Did this happen between you and Ms. Kim, by any chance?
How could you say such a thing?
Do we seem like we have that much free time to you?
It's something that happened to my cousin's classmate from college.
Do I look like I have a lot of free time to you, then?
Do I really need to be sitting here listening to something...
that happened to your cousin's classmate from college at this hour?
You...
like your vice chairman, don't you?
What are you talking about?
You're always saying that.
Mi So, the thing about people is...
they'll only be happy if they date within their level.
It's not just people.
The same thing applies to everything else on this earth.
Have you ever seen a dog and a bird...
stick together like a couple, like on "How is that Possible?"
Dog and bird.
I'm not trying to curse.
So you're saying that a dog and a bird are a couple.
Yes. Doesn't it sound fascinating?
You find yourself saying, "How could this happen," right?
That's what it's like...
when people of two different breeds become a couple.
Does that mean that Mr. Lee is a dog,
and I'm a bird?
More or less.
Your vice chairman is rich, and we're just average people.
So we're a completely different breed.
If we tell him that we used to fight over chicken drumsticks...
when we were young,
do you think your vice chairman could understand what that's like?
The fact that we fought over...
a chicken drumstick, and not even a share of a company.
That's how much of a different world he lives in.
A faraway world that we could never hope to reach.
You know that I'm only saying this because I'm worried for you, right?
I just don't want you getting hurt later on down the line.
I know.
But...
it's my problem to deal with.
Get home safely. And text me when you get home.
All right, I'll be going now. Go get some rest.
Bye.
I'm really worried for Mi So.
M... Mom.
Mom. Dad.
Where are you?
I'm scared.
(Vice Chairman)
- Yes, Mr. Lee? - Where are you, Ms. Kim?
I'm still at home. Is there something you'd like me to do?
Are you finished getting ready for work?
Yes, I was just about to head out.
All right, hurry and come out.
Yes, sir. Wait, what?
What?
- Yes, Mr. Lee? - Where are you, Ms. Kim?
I'm still at home. Is there something you'd like me to do?
Are you finished getting ready for work?
Yes, I was just about to head out.
All right, hurry and come out.
Yes, sir. Wait, what?
What?
Goodness, why are you...
I'll be right out. Yes.
What brings you here so early, sir?
Goodness, oh no!
My apologies.
No need to be sorry.
Pardon?
- What? - What?
All right.
Where are you going, Ms. Kim?
I should drive, since Mr. Yang isn't here to drive you.
No, I'll drive.
Pardon?
Get in, Ms. Kim.
Watch your head.
"You look pretty today."
If you wanted to hear me say something like that,
you should be more fashion-conscious.
- Pardon? - You wore...
this blouse last Wednesday and Friday too.
One would think that it's part of the Yumyung Group uniform.
Wednesday... and Friday.
How did you remember that?
My ridiculously good memory is a burden on me too.
Especially since there are some things that I'd rather forget.
Here.
What is this?
It's a croque-monsieur that my personal chef made.
You may eat it if you haven't had breakfast yet.
All right.
(Cold brew coffee)
You may drink that coffee too.
Sure.
You may also keep this shopping bag.
Pardon?
Thank you.
Now?
Let's go.
You want me to go in first?
Yes.
Ms. Ok, how do I look today?
I changed my foundation.
Gosh, check your eyes before applying foundation.
You have sleep in your eyes.
Gosh, since when?
Goodness!
Since 10 minutes ago.
Why are you telling me this just now?
Hello.
Good morning.
"Good morning"?
Isn't it the first time that he greeted us so sweetly like this?
No, he's always been sweet to me.
Is that right? It's strange.
- You sure it wasn't in your dream? - Come on.
By the way, why is the vice chairman in a good mood today?
I don't know.
You don't know?
- Let's begin working. - All right.
- Thanks. - Put yourself together already.
- Okay, I will. - Thanks for the food.
Give me a new one, not your food.
I'm so perfect.
In addition to having a perfect appearance,
I'm even equipped with a warm, loving heart.
Sir, let me apply some more ointment on your wound.
Would you apply it yourself?
You can just do it for me.
You read through this business plan for the second half, right? I'll...
- Are you okay? - I'm okay.
I can do it myself.
I'm doing this in return for the treatment yesterday.
I always pay back what I receive.
I'm going to check documents with a tablet from now on.
- Pardon? - Papers are dangerous.
Okay.
What on earth is wrong with me?
What are you doing, Ms. Kim?
What? Well...
That.
Gosh, why is this in here?
You sometimes make mistakes too.
- Here. - Thank you.
Honey, are you okay?
Do you think I am?
My only two sons are in worse terms than strangers.
This is too upsetting.
Don't stay at home like this, and go shopping outside or something.
What was it? You mentioned about...
the limited edition handbag.
Go buy it.
- Forget it. - Why?
You have enough money and grace,
so buy that bag right now.
- I said, forget it. - Goodness.
Mr. Choi, go to a department store right now...
I said it's okay.
What do you mean, it's okay?
- Buy that bag immediately. - I bought it already.
- What? - I bought it last week...
as soon as it was released.
Goodness.
Is that right?
I see.
When are you going to apologize to Young Joon?
What?
Well...
Your mom is so worried that she can't sleep at night.
Reconcile with him already so that she feels much more at ease.
- Okay, I will. - Good.
Oh, one more thing.
Don't bother Young Joon from now on.
He has a lot of important projects to handle these days.
If he gets swayed, our company and all the employees...
will get swayed along with him.
All right.
Ms. Kim, there's a visitor waiting in the lobby.
Is it my visitor? What's their name?
I didn't get to ask about it.
Check their personal information next time.
Okay, sorry.
Are you my visitor?
Yes, that's right.
How did you know my name and which department I'm in?
You don't seem so glad to see me.
Of course, I'm not. There's no reason for me to be glad to see you.
I did think you were quite rude...
when you asked me for my number in such a clingy way.
But it's really not right to visit me here at my work.
Should I just go then?
Yes, please go.
That's too harsh.
You asked me to see you by email first.
When did I?
You wanted me to hold a book concert at Yumyung Art Center.
When did I...
Don't tell me... Are you Morpheus?
I'm sorry.
I'm a huge fan of your books,
but I made a big mistake because I didn't know your face.
That's enough for apologizing. Why don't you eat a little?
You haven't eaten much since you were checking my reaction.
Okay.
- Excuse me. - Yes?
May I help you?
I'm sorry, but can you put this vase away?
She's allergic to flowers.
Okay, I'll do it right away.
How did you know I was allergic to flowers?
How could I not know?
You looked around as you sniffed your nose.
Then you spotted the flowers...
and made a look that you found the cause.
Maybe it's because you're a writer, but you're very delicate.
So did you read through the proposal?
Well, briefly.
What's your answer?
Should I answer right now?
Pardon?
What's wrong?
There's a stone in my food.
Really? Gosh, why those people...
Forget it. I'm okay.
I didn't know my superior was this generous.
Anyone can make mistakes.
You seem to be in a happy mood. Are you up to something good?
"Something good"?
What, are they finally going out or something?
What?
I mean, about your college friend whom you talked about last time.
Is he finally going out with that girl?
No, not yet.
Not yet?
Gosh, that friend of yours doesn't know how to take actions.
I can tell...
- he's horrible at dating. - What?
How could you say that?
I'm only talking about your friend, so why are you getting worked up?
He's my close friend.
How could you say that he's horrible at dating?
I'm just feeling frustrated. That's all.
You don't need to. He'll express his feelings soon.
Tell him to do it quickly while he's put his mind to it.
Girls hate beating around the bush.
Really?
Let's stop talking about this boring topic and focus on eating.
Okay.
Call me after thinking about it.
You'll give me your real number this time, right?
Sure.
Here.
Express my feelings?
I just want an ordinary romance with an ordinary man.
Does she want an ordinary profession too?
My entire life has been exceptional,
so I can't figure out what or how to be ordinary.
Ms. Kim.
Yes. Is there anything you need?
Well...
I have something to ask.
Do you need anything, sir?
- What? - He has something to ask.
Go on.
Well, that's...
Is the opening preparation for the art center going all right?
Yes, the planning team will have a meeting in a minute.
Okay, good.
Did you have a good meeting with your visitor?
Yes.
Who was it? Was it your future boyfriend?
No way. That's not the case.
It's someone you'll love to see as well.
Do I know that person?
I'll tell you when it becomes more certain.
Mr. Jung. Let me ask you something.
Okay, ask me anything.
Do you know a trendy restaurant...
frequented by ordinary people these days?
- What? - A restaurant...
where people can talk about important issues.
There's a tripe restaurant in Hapjeong,
and it's really popular.
- Tripe? - Yes.
Drinking a shot of soju with grilled tripe...
is perfect for honest talks.
They make fried rice with kimchi sauce too.
It tastes fantastic.
Not a place like that.
Somewhere ordinary but special.
Somewhere ordinary but special?
Near Gangnam Station,
there's a restaurant that serves special cuts.
From entrails to heart and stomach,
they serve assorted special cuts.
It's a place where they serve meat parts...
that aren't usually served in other restaurants.
Do you have something else other than animal intestines?
Well, something else?
Never mind.
Hello, Mr. Lee.
Is Mr. Park inside?
Yes, he is.
(President Park Yoo Shik)
He isn't inside.
Where did he go?
How would I know?
Where did he go?
Well...
Can I ask you about something?
Go ahead.
Do you know a trendy restaurant frequented by ordinary people?
Somewhere trendy, favored by young women.
Young women?
Did you get a new girlfriend by any chance?
That's not it. I'm thinking about a franchise business.
Women in their 20s and 30s are the targeted customers.
There's a good place. Let me show you a picture.
I even took a selfie there yesterday.
What women in their 20s and 30s like is...
spicy chicken feet.
If you don't like the idea, how about spicy pork trotters?
Never mind.
But they are delicious.
Mr. Yang, do you know any restaurant favored by women?
I bet you don't.
Chef Raymon's restaurant in Sinsa-dong.
Chef Kim Won Suk's restaurant in Cheongdam-dong.
Those are the popular restaurants.
Ji Ah.
- It's time for the meeting. - Oh, okay.
Our vice chairman...
is handsome as is,
but he's really sexy when he's working.
Don't you think he's sexy too?
I see him every day, so I'm not quite sure about that.
- I see. Let's go. - I'll see you later.
(An ordinary but special and simple but fancy place to profess)
(A good place to profess your love)
Perfect.
Why can't the art center be in charge of the opening ceremony?
Hello.
Excuse me, you have something on your...
Thank you.
I heard that he bought 10 of the exact same suits...
and wears nothing else...
because he'd much rather get work done...
in the time he has to decide what to wear.
That's so impressive.
All right.
To me, it definitely looks like a grain of rice.
If he has 10 suits, he should change into a different one.
Does he actually have 10 of the exact same suits?
I'm sorry.
Gosh.
Shall we begin the meeting?
- Yes, let's do that. - Okay.
All right.
Shall we? Shall we just get started?
Yes, Mom.
You want me to go on another blind date?
What does this guy do? Do you have a photo of him?
Send it to me now. Okay.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
What's that?
This button fell off Mr. Ko's suit.
Nice, score.
I'll ask him out to dinner as I'm giving this to him.
You should just give it to him now.
He needs that button.
I think he only has that one suit.
Are you at it again?
Why do you keep bad-mouthing him and saying he only has one suit?
I'm not bad-mouthing him. It's a fact.
I saw a grain of rice stuck on the exact same spot for two days.
When I saw him earlier, it looked like he took it off,
but I could still see a trace of it,
which means he's wearing the same suit...
without even washing it.
Are you a detective or what?
Gosh, I told you that he has 10 suits.
No, he only has one.
I told you he has 10!
- I'm sure he only has one. - Enough, you two.
Who cares how many suits he has?
Clothes aren't that important.
Right, you're living proof of that.
She barely has any clothes, and yet she's still so good at her job.
- Sorry? - That blouse.
Didn't you wear it last Wednesday and Friday as well?
You wore that blouse last Wednesday and Friday as well.
People will assume that it's our uniform.
You wore it on Thursday two weeks ago too.
Gosh, she wore it on Tuesday three weeks ago as well...
Enough, okay?
Clothes aren't everything.
It sounds like you only care about clothes.
- Ji Ah, pour the water in. - Okay.
Is the dinner with the chairman of UK Group this evening?
Yes. sir. It's at 6pm today.
It sounds like he wants to talk to me about something important,
so you don't have to come with me.
- Sure. I'll leave for the day... - How about 8pm?
Pardon me?
Let's have a glass of wine together.
I have something to tell you.
Something to tell me?
Then I'll make a reservation...
at the lounge at Illusion Hotel, which the company bought recently.
That way, we can see what it's like there.
That's not necessary. I already made a reservation elsewhere.
Sorry?
You made a reservation yourself?
- Excuse me. - Yes.
May I try this on?
My gosh, I'm sorry.
We're sold out of size 44.
You can place a special order though.
That's okay. I need something that I can change into right now.
- Right now? - Yes.
Oh, I guess you have a date.
A date?
No, not at all.
I'll pick something else.
Yes, hello.
You're done for the day, right? What are you up to?
I have plans this evening.
Really? Where are you going?
The lounge at M Hotel.
I'm nearby.
Can we meet up briefly?
Not right now.
Like I told you, I have plans this evening.
I'm asking if we can meet up because I want to give you my answer.
I may have a change of heart if we don't meet up now.
Wait. I don't have much time though.
Don't worry. I just need 10 minutes of your time.
Okay.
This is the limited edition champagne you asked for, sir.
Please bring it out later with the cake.
A bottle of champagne makes the best congratulatory gift.
Ms. Kim,
congratulations in advance.
You'll be the one and only woman getting...
an honest, genuine profession from me.
She'll be here soon.
Morpheus.
You look even more stunning than you did earlier today.
I guess you're meeting someone important.
Sorry?
Oh, well...
We shouldn't be standing like this,
I don't have much time right now.
So what do you say? Have you made up your mind?
Yes, I've decided to trust you and do it.
Really?
Thank you.
I wanted to meet you soon because I knew you'd be happy.
("Once in a Lifetime")
Isn't that your newest book coming out next week?
Take it.
I'm giving it to you as a gift as we'll be working together.
Thank you.
You'll be even more grateful when you open it.
There's my autograph inside.
(Serendipity brought us together, but maybe we were...)
(meant to cross paths. Lee Sung Yeon)
Take it.
I'm giving it to you as a gift as we'll be working together.
Thank you.
You'll be even more grateful when you open it.
There's my autograph inside.
(Serendipity brought us together, but maybe we were...)
(meant to cross paths. Lee Sung Yeon)
Mr. Lee.
Mr. Lee, why are you being like this?
Could you please explain why you're being like this?
You explain first.
What on earth is going on now?
He's the author, Morpheus.
He came here to tell me that he decided...
to do the book concert at our art center.
When did you start working on this?
I told you about it a while ago, sir.
I said it'd be nice to invite a famous author for the grand opening.
He was the famous author...
- you were talking about? - Yes.
Why didn't you give me any updates?
I thought it'd be meaningless to do that before it became concrete.
Don't do it.
- Pardon me? Why... - Just don't do it.
May I ask you why?
Do I have to explain everything to you?
I just don't like the idea.
You said you have something to tell me.
Can I hear it another time if it's not urgent?
Sure, it wasn't even about anything important.
Then I'll get going, sir.
- Are you all right, sir? - We're sorry.
I'm okay.
What was I thinking? I just ended up getting my feelings hurt.
What's up? I'm surprised that you asked me first to meet up.
What do you want?
Nothing.
I just wanted to help the company, that's all.
- What? - Ms. Kim said...
that my involvement will help the company a lot.
What's with that face?
Are you scared?
Do you think I'll take her from you?
Of course not.
But you look scared.
Shall I not do it if you're that scared?
No, go ahead and do it.
- What? - I don't care...
whether you do it or not.
If you thought that you'd have an influence on her or the company,
you overestimated yourself.
You can't do anything.
Ms. Kim, I had my reasons...
for getting mad at you last night.
Ms. Kim, I'm willing to forgive you if you apologize to me...
for getting angry at me last night.
Ms. Kim, I'm sorry...
It'd be nice to escort her into the restaurant.
I should wait for her outside.
I'm so awesome.
I'm giving it to you as a gift as we'll be working together.
Thank you.
You'll be even more grateful when you open it.
There's my autograph inside.
Mr. Lee is here.
Good morning, Mr. Lee.
He said "Good morning" to us yesterday.
Is this a bad morning or what?
I know, right? He seems a bit different today.
I haven't seen you running around like that for a while.
What's going on?
There's big news.
Only those who can handle it should gather around.
- Come on. Gather around, guys. - What is it?
You know...
that we're planning an opening event for the art center's library, right?
It'll be the author Morpheus' book concert.
- What? - No way.
- It must be a groundless rumor. - Why don't you guys believe me?
- I just heard... - Mr. Jung.
Yes?
Where did you hear that rumor?
Those in the PR team told me.
I heard Mr. Lee told them...
to send out a press release about it soon.
Sorry?
Is it true that you gave the PR team...
the go-ahead to start working on Morpheus' book concert?
Yes, it's true.
Yesterday, you said that you'd never allow it.
May I ask why you suddenly changed your mind?
Right, you don't have to explain everything to me.
Please do not cross the line again.
To tell you the truth, I got the wrong idea.
You asked me to date you and marry you,
and you started being all nice to me, so I thought...
that you might actually mean it.
Ms. Kim.
Please don't...
confuse me ever again.
That's what I'm saying.
It's Mr. Ko.
Oh, no. I forgot to bring his button.
You have to give it to him soon.
He only has that one suit, you know. It must be uncomfortable.
Gosh, you're so stubborn.
Why do you keep making such a false claim?
It's not a false claim. I have evidence to prove...
Do you want to bet?
The button fell off yesterday,
so the jacket he's wearing today must be missing a button.
Why? Because he only has that one suit.
I think you got the wrong idea.
Hello.
Have a good look.
See if this jacket is missing any button.
- Well... - There are four here.
Another four here.
Two buttons here.
And one on each inside pocket.
And...
I even have a spare button.
All buttons are intact.
I'm sorry. I made a big mistake.
- I'll take you out for a drink... - No, thanks.
Please do not spread any false rumors from now on.
- I'm really sorry. - How about we go out for a beer?
If you don't like beer, we can have soju or beer.
Oh, I already said beer. How about makgeolli?
Gosh, darn it.
What did I tell you? I told you to stop playing a detective.
She seems really angry. What should I do?
Gosh, my head.
My head... head hurts.
Yes, Dr. Choi. Mr. Lee has a headache.
- Can he visit you at 10am... - It's not that bad.
He says it's not that bad.
I emailed the speech you will be making at the welfare center's
ceremony next week to you.
Please check it.
I think my tie might be a little loose.
Ms. Kim.
I came with another big news.
- What is it? - I was talking to the PR team...
about the book concert of Morpheus' writer.
And they told me something shocking.
Ms. Kim,
can you handle this news?
I will try.
Don't be surprised.
The writer of Morpheus is Mr. Lee's elder brother.
What?
It's real. It's true. It is the truth.
Morpheus is the eldest son of Yumyung Group.
Isn't this really big news?
Last time, you asked me about Mr. Lee's brother.
I remembered that. That's why I ran to you with the news.
The eldest son suddenly appeared.
Shouldn't that mean that there's been a change...
in the succession plan?
I fought a lot with my brother's friends.
They said I was rude and picked fights with me.
But I guess you were fine because you were with your brother.
No.
He was worse. He's the worst sort of man.
It seemed like he isn't in good terms with his brother.
What?
How do you say sorry?
How hard is that? "I'm sorry." Just say that.
Do you know what "I'm sorry" is in Spanish?
It's "Lo siento." Give it a try.
Lo sie...
Never mind.
You can't say it because awkward. You've never said it before.
That's what "I'm sorry" is to me.
I've never said it before.
Is there no way I can make up with her without saying sorry?
There is no way.
Then...
what if I don't say it?
You will be losing that person.
Ms. Kim.
Do you have something to say?
I...
I apologize.
What?
I am sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
You wouldn't get upset without a reason.
I became too emotional.
But please know this.
I did it because I thought it would do you good.
I know that much.
You should want to celebrate our reconciliation with a nice dinner.
But we have so much work to get done.
It's okay.
You should be okay. I couldn't work because I was too bothered by you.
What?
Do you want some coffee?
It's here.
It's a little hot in here. Should I open the window?
- It's open. - It is.
Ms. Kim.
Yes?
A while ago,
you told me never to stir you up again.
That was...
I...
want to stir you up.
What? That's...
Ms. Kim.
(What's Wrong with Secretary Kim)
- It's sexual desire disorder. - Sexual what?
You're mistaken. It's nothing like that.
- My gosh, Mr. Lee. - Did you call me?
Give me a chance to make up for my mistake.
How much is this machine?
I think I was locked in an empty house for a day.
There was a boy next to me.
I never knew he was so near me.
