(Episode 11)
Our company's no longer for sale,
and Mr. Oh collapsed.
What are you going to do now?
Mr. Oh tried his best to settle the best deal possible...
so that you guys could continue to keep your jobs.
Why couldn't you trust him one last time?
Was that so hard to do?
Once something breaks, it's hard to put the pieces back together.
Mr. Oh lost his trust the moment he disappeared...
after he made the company go bankrupt.
We already got betrayed once.
It was hard for us to trust him.
There wouldn't be much money left...
even if he sells the company and pays off his debt.
But Mr. Oh...
never planned to keep that money for himself anyway.
He was going to use that money to pay for your severance pay...
and compensation.
He felt apologetic and grateful that you guys worked hard...
even though the company was going bankrupt.
Then he should've told us that.
How were we supposed to know when he never told us?
If he had told you,
would you have believed him?
There are times when you can't say what's on your mind.
It's not like you guys always speak your mind either.
He couldn't say anything...
because he knew you guys didn't trust him.
So instead of telling you his plan, he wanted to prove it to you...
by showing you positive results.
But that just led him...
to collapse.
- Answer the phone. - Oh, okay.
Why bother?
It's probably someone who wants us to pay off our debt.
Hello, this is Cheongil Electronics.
What do you plan to do now?
I've been working here all my life,
so I just naturally come to work.
But I don't really have a plan.
We're completely done with TM Electronics now.
And we decided to focus on selling our vacuum cleaners.
We keep getting orders for them.
The consumers don't know our brand because we're such a small company.
But if we're still receiving orders, it proves that they've confirmed...
the quality of our products.
Yes, you're right.
We spent so much money and time on developing the vacuum cleaners...
and succeeded in making a great product.
So the people who are interested are starting to acknowledge that.
We just got another order for our vacuum cleaners.
A consumer who already tried using it really liked it.
So he asked for 20 vacuum cleaners...
saying he wants to hand them out to his employees as gifts.
My gosh, we won't even be able to pay for our electricity bill...
by selling 20 vacuum cleaners.
But still,
we're not spending any money on advertisement or PR.
People are making orders merely based on positive reviews.
So that gives us hope.
Even if that's the case,
it's going to be hard because of our company's financial condition.
We'll have to put in our all.
Then that's what we're going to do.
We can't just give up now.
I was looking into complex shopping malls and online markets.
And I'll see if there's a place where we can hold a pop-up store.
Okay.
Then let's try to expand our sales using both the online...
and offline market.
Okay.
You told us that he decided to work at Seongwoo.
It was probably just a rumor.
Mr. Yoo.
- What happened? - What do you mean?
I was getting ready to badmouth you...
because I heard you got a job at Seongwoo.
But I guess I was wrong. You'd never do that to us.
Why? I'm totally capable of doing something like that.
Why would you say that?
Then why did you choose to come back?
It just happened.
As if coming back was that easy.
Sir.
Thank you so much for coming back.
Move.
Thank you so much.
If getting back our investment of four million dollars is hard,
we're left with only one choice.
Have Seongwoo buy Cheongil.
The machines and equipment can be handed over to Seongwoo...
and we'll keep working with Seongwoo instead.
Sir, is that really the only way?
In order to help Cheongil,
we put in orders to keep them afloat.
However, your incompetence made them sink.
Do your job or get lost.
Cheongil has to agree though.
We can't push the owner into selling the company.
What'll happen if he doesn't agree?
The company will go bankrupt.
It's not just us who have something to lose.
A buyout is a way for the employees...
to help themselves as well,
so what nonsense are you spewing?
Was Seongwoo already decided...
as the company to buy Cheongil?
Do Joon,
do you think I didn't see this coming?
In case you couldn't do the job, I already had a Plan B and C...
in motion.
We're up to our necks...
with the mess created from...
decreasing our number of subcontractors.
If the buyout doesn't go smoothly,
you'll be done for...
and Mr. Moon will be in a tight spot for giving you a second chance.
So wrap this up neatly.
Make sure there isn't any fuss.
(Seongwoo's owner is going on a business trip abroad soon, )
(so quickly move forward with the buyout.)
This is a new dish I've been working on.
Can you try it for me?
Thank you.
Why do you always seem serious though?
You never enjoy a meal with ease.
When I worked in an office, I thought that was my life as well.
It turns out that isn't the case though.
- Really? - Yes.
There's no reason to complicate things.
We're only in this game to live a life, right?
Just keep it simple and let things go from time to time.
(Mom)
Yes, Mom.
I'm having lunch right now.
Of course I'm doing well.
What about you?
You don't have to worry about me.
I'll come by sometime.
Right.
(Yes, sir.)
Yes, hello. This is Yoo Jin Wook.
Yes, I'm sorry about that. I had to take a leave of absence.
I'm back now though.
It's about our vacuum cleaners.
I'm sure you heard.
Can you not reconsider?
Is that so?
Right, things are tight for us all.
It's all right. I'll be in touch then.
Thank you.
Yes, hello. This is Yoo Jin Wook.
Yes, I'm back now.
I'm sure you heard about our vacuum cleaners.
Oh, really?
Thank you so much.
Of course. I'll stop by sometime.
Yes, thank you.
Yes, hello.
I had to take a leave of absence for personal reasons.
I'm not expecting...
any huge orders for our vacuums.
It's all up to you whether it's 100 or 50...
Gosh, thank you.
Right, I'll buy drinks sometime.
Thank you.
- Ji Han. - Yes?
250 vacuums for Jaehyun Corporation...
and 200 for Seongan Corporation will be sent out,
so start the paperwork.
All right.
- Miss Lee. - Yes?
Orders came in for Jaehyun and Seongan Corporation,
so write up receipts for 500 vacuums and tell Ms. Choi.
Really? That's great.
Thank you, sir.
Why are you thanking me for?
No reason. I'll get going then.
- Miss Lee. - Yes?
Thank you for the egg rolls.
Right.
- Hi. - Hello.
Ms. Choi.
Mr. Yoo told us to start working on 500 vacuums.
- What? - 500?
500? What's with the sudden order?
Mr. Yoo made some calls and received the orders.
Really?
That's great.
That will be enough to pay the bills for now.
- Jae Ran, get the machines ready. - Yes, Ms. Choi.
Did he give you a deadline too?
I'll check and get back to you.
All we need is a deadline then.
(Mr. Park Do Joon)
There's always a way, right?
Mr. Yoo came back in the eleventh hour.
Exactly.
I wonder why though.
Was it his loyalty to this company?
Who has loyalty to this company?
He must have felt a sense of loyalty to one of us.
Who is he loyal to then?
Probably Mr. Oh.
When Mr. Yoo's wife got sick once,
I heard that Mr. Oh paid the hospital bills.
Maybe that's why.
No way.
That's then and this is now.
His wife is sick.
What is he going to do if our salaries don't get paid?
Tell me about it.
Mr. Yoo is competent enough...
to find a better option than this place.
Deciding to come back probably wasn't easy.
He took a chance,
so I hope it pays off in some way.
Yes, Mr. Park.
Mr. Oh Phillip?
Mr. Oh,
Mr. Park wants to meet you.
- Why? - He has something to say.
I'd rather not see him,
so you should go in my place instead.
I see. Then why don't you come?
Come to Seongwoo's office.
Sorry? To Seongwoo?
Me?
Mr. Yoo is back. Maybe he should go.
What do you mean, Mr. Yoo is back?
I'm sorry. I should've called, but things were a bit hectic.
Should I have Mr. Yoo go to the meeting today instead of me?
I don't think that's right.
The president of Seongwoo...
wishes to meet with Cheongil's largest shareholder and CEO.
Okay, I understand. Okay.
What was that about? What meeting?
Well, Mr. Park told me to meet him at Seongwoo's office.
- Park Do Joon? - Yes.
He had originally told me to go with Mr. Oh Philip,
but he refused to go.
I asked if you could go instead,
and he told me to go alone.
- Sun Shim. - Yes?
- Good luck. - Good luck!
Thank you.
Okay. Thank you.
Can you print this out?
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Hello, ma'am.
- Hello. - Hello.
Sun Shim.
Let's chat in my office.
Sun Shim. It's been a while. Why are you just leaving?
How have you been?
What? How have I been?
How would you have been, you evil witch?
How could you do that to me? How could you?
What's wrong with you?
What did I do to you anyway?
The shares?
You're the one who wanted to buy them.
You said you wanted to buy them.
Did I force them down your throat? No.
You deceived me!
- You knew the company was failing. - Who says I knew that?
How would I have known?
Don't lie to me!
You ruined my life. How could you...
It wasn't me who ruined your life. It was you.
You got greedy...
and took out a loan to buy the shares.
Why don't you think about what you did?
How could you resent me?
I was so good to you.
Don't be like that.
Anyway,
come up. Let's have some tea...
Hello, this is Yoo Jin Wook.
May I come see you for a few minutes?
No, it won't take long.
Okay.
Miss Lee.
Where did she go?
She's never here when I have work for her.
Ha Na, is Sun Shim not back yet?
No, as you can see.
It must be true that she caused trouble.
- Hey. - What trouble?
That's what you said when you spoke to your friend at Seongwoo.
That Sun Shim went there...
and cussed at and attacked their director of planning,
and that she caused a scene.
What?
Why would Miss Lee do that to Seongwoo's director of planning?
Well... The thing is...
What is it? Spill it out.
Well, their director of planning is...
Koo Ji Na.
What?
- Koo Ji Na? - Yes.
Our former accounting manager? That Koo Ji Na?
Yes, that's right.
Are you sure?
How did she get a job there?
I'm not sure either.
Hook me up.
Look into schools in the US...
Get back to work.
Hey there.
We already spoke on the phone.
I told you not to come.
Still, I thought it was only right that I come to you in person...
and apologize.
You've supported us through so much. I'm terribly sorry.
The truth is, it wasn't something that I particularly wanted.
TM told me about you.
That's why we made you that offer.
I'm sure you'll say it isn't preferential treatment,
but it doesn't work that way for me.
Don't you agree?
I'm sorry...
for burdening you.
I'm sorry.
I also heard that our CEO didn't make it to the meeting...
and just caused a scene and left.
I'm terribly sorry for that as well.
Well, I heard what happened.
How could you make someone like that your CEO?
That aside,
what do you think about the acquisition matter?
With Mr. Oh in the hospital,
I think it's too premature.
We'll think more about it.
Whatever. Go right ahead.
Excuse me.
By any chance...
Ma'am. there's someone here to wishes to see you.
- Really? - Yes.
Hello.
I never expected to see you here.
I know.
It's been so long.
I thought you would've left the country or something.
This was really unexpected.
You office isn't that far. Why don't you come visit?
Everyone will be happy to see you.
I know.
But I started not long ago,
so I haven't had a chance.
Anyway, what brings you here?
I'm sure you didn't come to see me.
Are you here to see the president?
Well, I came for a few things,
and wanted to say something to you before I left.
Ms. Koo, it's nice to see that you're living a diligent life.
But you should return Miss Lee's money.
You used to be her boss.
You can't just ruin her life...
I don't think that's any of your business.
I mean...
There seems to be a misunderstanding on your end...
because Sun Shim keeps acting like a victim.
But I'll take care of that issue.
So you don't need to worry.
Really? Then I guess I'll just leave you to it.
Do you know that Mr. Oh collapsed?
- You should pay him a visit... - Mr. Yoo.
Let me also tell you something.
You're no longer my superior.
I work at Seongwoo now.
And just like you, I have connections at TM.
That's how I was able to get a job here.
What?
Mr. Sung told me everything.
I heard you were planning...
to get a job here by using your connections at TM.
He was in a pickle because he had to consider us both.
But thankfully, things got settled pretty nicely.
Anyway,
once Seongwoo takes over Cheongil,
I might actually...
outrank you.
So I'd like you to be careful.
I'll be off now. I need to get back to work.
Hello, Mr. Sung.
Hello.
Mr. Yoo eventually rejected my offer.
There's not much I can do to convince him.
What should I do?
I must've caused a misunderstanding.
I heard that he's a competent guy,
so I figured he might be an asset to you.
And that's why I mentioned his name once.
But I didn't mean to make you feel pressured.
Yes.
You don't need to worry.
Okay, then. I'll see you soon.
Okay, bye.
(Room for rent)
(Room for sale, Room for rent)
(Cheongil Electronics)
(Hyung Suk)
Hey, it's me.
I got a call from Mr. Sung.
What is your problem?
Haven't I warned you enough?
Was it hard for you to understand?
I'm sorry. I made sure to apologize...
to Mr. Sung.
Thank you for being so considerate.
Do you think...
I did it for you?
- Eun Hye's sick... - Eun Hye...
is my wife. I'll take care of her.
I promise that I won't cause you to worry about her.
If you care so much about her,
why would you go back to that company?
That company's about to go bankrupt.
Do you think life is a joke? What do you think you're doing?
I know it was a foolish choice,
but I'm also proud of my choice.
Life is short. I'm going to stick to my principles...
and be responsible.
It's important to consider whom you'll get to work with,
and that was one of the things I didn't like about Seongwoo.
I know this is none of my business,
but our former team manager of the accounting team...
is a real troublemaker.
I don't get why you'd ask me to work at Seongwoo...
along with someone like her.
What are you talking about?
She told me that she got a job there thanks to TM.
Isn't that what happened?
Your mother keeps asking me to send money to your brother.
We're already living on a tight budget ourselves.
What should we do?
- Mom. - Yes?
I don't think I should go to college.
What?
What do you mean you don't think you should go to college?
I don't have good enough grades to get into a good college.
So I just thought it'd be better to give up...
instead of wasting my time.
Why would you give up without even giving it your best?
I do everything for you. All you need to do is just study.
What is the matter with you?
Are you having a hard time catching up with your friends...
who receive private lessons?
People who get a perfect score on their KSATs...
always say they studied on their own...
Mom, will you please stop saying that?
If you think it's so easy, why don't you do it yourself?
Why don't you study instead and get a perfect KSAT score?
Mom, you should know better for someone who has a job.
If you say that to others, they'll think you're stupid.
I really didn't want to say this.
But do you even know how well the other moms support their kids?
Okay, fine. You're right.
I'm dumb, and I'm sorry that I can't support you properly.
You little brat.
Let's say you don't go to college. What do you plan to do?
I want to move out.
I want to move out and make my own living.
You want to move out? Have you lost your mind?
I really hate the ambiance here.
It's so suffocating.
I already know that you and Dad don't get along.
It tortures me to see you stay married just because of me.
And it suffocates me every day!
I'm just doing my job.
So you should do the same regardless of how hard it may be.
If you want to move out, you can do that after you finish college.
If you can't wait until then, go to college and live in a dorm.
But before that, you can't go anywhere.
It's complete nonsense, so you'd better keep that in mind.
Close the door nicely!
What are you doing outside?
I just thought...
I'd come out to greet you since it's a dangerous world.
You must be tired from all the hard work.
I'm not tired.
Did you buy something?
They were on sale.
You bought tofu and fruits. They're my favorite.
Let's go inside.
All right.
I made these because I was reminded of Sun Shim...
now that you're back at Cheongil.
Egg rolls.
Is she doing well?
Yes.
How is it? Is it good?
I may flip the table if you say otherwise,
so choose your answer wisely.
Are you kidding me?
Why? Is it not good?
No, it's delicious which isn't good.
My illness is putting a toll on you,
but I wouldn't have known happiness like this...
had it not been for my illness.
Happiness?
Being able to cook a warm meal for you...
is a form of happiness...
despite it being meaningless to others.
I hope that feeling never changes.
You can't change your mind after I retire...
and eat all three meals at home.
That depends on your attitude.
Honey,
would it be all right to move to a smaller place?
What?
I'm not saying we should.
Only if there's a decent place.
Sure.
You know how I'm into minimal life these days.
People don't need a lot of materialized objects in their lives.
It's better to own less and focus on things that are important.
What did I do to you anyway?
The shares?
You're the one who wanted to buy them.
It wasn't me who ruined your life. It was you.
You got greedy...
and took out a loan to buy the shares.
You called, sir?
The former Head of Accounting at Cheongil...
is now at Seongwoo.
How is this possible?
Do you know anything?
Right.
I figured we needed an insider who knew Cheongil well...
for the buyout to happen.
All I did was make an introduction.
Did you do a thorough background check?
Sorry?
Is there a personal relationship between the two of you?
What...
No, of course not.
That's not how we do things around here.
You should've told me first.
I apologize.
You're dismissed.
I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. The meeting wouldn't end.
It's all right.
- Would you like something to drink? - No, I'm good.
Thank you for finding the time to see me today.
There's something I'd personally like to know.
You're a former employee of Cheongil Electronics.
You were Ms. Lee Sun Shim's direct supervisor.
Let's strictly keep this about business.
You're here to talk about the employees staying on board.
Yes, that's right.
Your boss said I should discuss it with you...
since you're in charge of the operations.
If...
the employees at Cheongil wish to work at Seongwoo too,
would you offer them a position?
No.
If I'm being honest, it is impossible.
I'm aware of the competency of those employees.
I can't cause any loss to the company.
I'll individually talk to the employees...
and lay out an offer for them...
and give them a chance.
Whether they take the offer of not...
is up to them.
It's far better than lying to them...
and letting them go once the buyout is complete.
Mr. Park.
I know it hasn't been easy for the employees at Cheongil.
However,
I didn't know the company would suffer like that.
Let me answer your previous question.
I thought the company would thrive...
which is why I sold Sun Shim the shares.
Also, on a personal note,
I needed the money for my mother's hospital bills.
I'm aware of the trouble Sun Shim's in...
and I feel bad for causing the heartache.
I'm saving up right now to pay her back,
so please don't worry.
Anyway,
please talk to the employees and help us...
successfully complete the buyout.
So I did a few tests on the sheet.
This is after it went over the sheet on the simple vacuum mode.
It only sucked up the dust so the mites are still there.
With the UV light,
- you can see the mites... - Oh, there.
They're dying.
Anyway, with this added function...
(Emergency Room)
Phillip sought me out a few days ago.
The company my dad bet his life on going under...
is the same as his life going under.
I feel terrible about it.
I don't think it's right to call it quit like this.
Mr. Yoo, can you please...
help us?
What do you want me to do?
I'm nearly done developing the new model.
I know I don't have the right to ask this,
but could you come back to Cheongil?
Phillip's working hard to get the company back on track,
so I'm going to do everything in my power too.
The company is yours, but it's also mine too.
I'm a founding member.
Anyway, please get better soon...
and come back to us as well.
- Mr. Myung. - Yes?
Wait, hold on.
Don't do this.
Sorry? Don't do what?
This childish antic is anything but adorable.
I don't like it when people take an interest in me.
Especially if it's from you...
It would be very uncomfortable if it's from you.
- What? - Why do you...
keep sending me smiles?
What do those smiles...
mean?
Smiles?
Wait.
My smiles?
I was just sending you good vibes to cheer you on...
as a colleague.
That was why. But hearing you say that,
- I'm flustered. - I'm flustered too.
So don't do this, so neither of us will be flustered.
What?
You broke up with your girlfriend...
you had planned to marry not long ago.
Mr. Park.
I'm very sorry about yesterday.
I shouldn't have left like that.
I think you'll have to reschedule the meeting...
- along with Mr. Oh Philip. - Okay.
Today's meeting was announced, right?
Yes. We're just waiting for Mr. Yoo.
Mr. Yoo.
To be honest, given the situation,
shouldn't we be grateful...
if Seongwoo acquires us?
Since it's the same industry,
we can continue doing the same thing.
What are the terms for employment succession?
What about the length of service?
Seongwoo said they'd decide based on individual interviews.
If they don't acknowledge our years here,
we'll just receive minimum wage at best.
At least we'll have a job right this instant.
Is right this instant all you think about?
The acquiring company and the acquired company...
will be like king and servant.
The employees of the acquired company will be unable to handle it,
and will eventually be kicked out either voluntarily or involuntarily.
The future of the employees of the acquired company...
depends on the efforts of each person.
Rather than cling onto a business without a future,
wouldn't becoming an employee of a large corporation...
be more beneficial?
How is it more beneficial?
The base price is too low,
and once lowered, the base price never goes up.
The first vendor must squeeze...
the second and third vendors even more.
Unless this arrangement changes,
there's no vision.
Arrangements like that will be changed.
Also, since Seongwoo has a stable relationship with TM,
the company will not be at risk of shutting down.
The livelihood of each employee will be stable and guaranteed.
Stable and guaranteed?
Although we barely live, stressing and struggling,
and if the orders stop suddenly one day, it's all over?
Unpredictable crises...
are experienced by all corporations.
And yet, you'll continue to sell the vacuum cleaner that you made?
Given the company's financial situation, banks won't lend to you.
It'll also be hard to receive an investment. With what funding?
That's for us to resolve, so stay out of it.
How can I stay out of it?
Have you any idea how many small companies go out of business?
How could I not know?
Do you know how many of them go under...
because of large corporations being tyrants?
Large corporations intentionally bankrupt small companies like us,
have a subsidiary or another company acquire them for a dirt cheap price.
Don't you think their intentions are so obvious?
Whatever you think, I simply wish...
that all of you at Cheongil...
would make a wiser decision, that's all.
Sure. We should make a wise decision.
That...
isn't something employees like us can decide.
It's for Mr. Oh and Oh Philip to decide, since they own the company.
However,
neither Mr. Oh nor Philip...
has any desire to sell the company to Seongwoo.
So what else is there to discuss?
Exactly, so we should persuade them.
We can't do anything by ourselves.
That's our only lifeline.
Our company being bought by Seongwoo...
is the way for our company to live?
I'm confident in the quality...
of our vacuum cleaner,
and the new product Oh Philip is developing...
has potential in my eye.
What use is having potential?
Reality doesn't agree.
We lack publicity and money.
And we're not making no progress in selling our vacuum cleaners.
It's best for us to get acquired by Seongwoo.
They say they'll interview us and keep us on.
As Mr. Yoo said, even if they do keep us on,
once the acquisition is done,
they'll obviously discriminate against us and disrespect us.
Right. We'll end up working on trivial assignments,
and promotions and raises will be super hard to get.
If they undergo downsizing or have problems, we'll be...
the first to go.
Even if things are tough,
it's still best to live in my own house...
rather than crash with someone who may kick you out at anytime,
and walk on eggshells all the time.
Okay, let's get back to work.
- Let's go work. - Okay.
I'll go and work as well.
This stinks.
Yes.
Okay. Next time.
- It's excellent. Please, just once. - Okay.
- I'll be back. - Just once...
- We still haven't... - I get it. Next time.
Sorry.
Give us just one chance...
But...
- So... - It's made by a small company,
- but it is very good. - Okay.
- Bye. - But...
(Sterilization, Raycop)
(Final Test)
I feel so sick.
I swear I'm never drinking again.
How about a drink after work tonight?
I found a great place.
I'm in. Where is it?
It's close by.
Aren't you going to work?
I was working all this time, and am taking a break.
What's his problem?
- Is it a whisky bar? - Naturally.
Ms. Kim.
Yes?
How are the vacuum cleaners doing on the online malls?
There's not much to report.
Are they being sold on all 10 websites?
Yes, of course. I did my best to get them on all the websites.
But we're not getting any responses yet.
Have you thought of any alternatives?
"Alternatives"?
Well, I haven't really...
- We're back. - We're back.
Mr. Myung, did you meet the MD?
I didn't know it'd be this hard to meet the MD of I-MART.
Does that mean you failed to meet him again?
Yes.
Mr. Yoo.
Every time we called, he was never in the office.
But once we got a hold of him, he told us he doesn't have time.
He's being so harsh on us.
Then did you think he'd welcome an unknown company...
with open arms?
You need to put your pride aside.
We always leave our pride here before we leave the office.
But it's really hard.
Why don't you think about what you did?
How could you resent me?
I was so good to you.
Don't be like that.
(Cheongil Electronics)
We have a very low brand recognition.
So everyone just refuses to give us a chance...
before we even get to talk about our conditions.
Isn't it natural that our products aren't being sold?
It'd be weird for them to sell well.
Then what should we do?
Should we just give up?
You know what? We never really...
keep things consistent anyway.
If there's a crisis, we pretend to work hard.
Then we become lazy again.
The same goes for me.
I never cared about anyone else...
other than myself.
I was so sick of this industry.
So I didn't want to come back.
But I needed a job to earn a living.
So I figured I should just come back and work hard...
instead of going to another company.
Even if the company isn't doing well, it still exists.
That's how we still have our jobs and things to do at work.
You want another company to buy our company?
If you're a loser here, you'd be an even bigger loser...
once another company takes over.
So whoever doesn't like it here should just leave.
If you have so many things to complain about, just quit.
We always compromise with reality,
make excuses, and blame things on others.
But until when are we going to live...
based on other people's opinions and avoid facing the truth?
Don't you think we should...
try to do our best and see how it turns out?
If you want to fight for it, then do it properly.
And if you want to quit, then you can quit.
He's so annoying.
Forget it. I'll just quit.
I couldn't settle any deals...
with any of the offline stores.
So I went to 10 different places where we could hold an event.
But I got rejected by every single one.
When you're in sales, it's natural to get rejected all the time.
You see,
it's always the same with women...
and work.
I get rejected all the time.
But I still don't get...
why I'm still not used to it.
It's so hard.
I thought...
my girlfriend would stick by me and always understand me.
But she eventually left.
I just don't get it.
How am I supposed to live now?
Let's drink.
Ji Na told me...
that I'm the one who ruined my life...
because I was the one who got greedy...
and took out a loan to buy those shares.
Ji Na is such a darn wench.
Should I beat her up and teach her a lesson?
No, no.
I thought about it for a while,
and I realized that she was right.
I wanted to become rich really quickly.
That's why I took out a loan.
It's all my fault.
But that doesn't change the fact that she's a wench.
What's wrong with you guys?
I don't get why people cry when they get drunk.
My gosh.
Hey, Mr. Song. What's up?
Right now?
Where are you?
Hey, you're here.
Why aren't you going home?
Thank you.
What's the use of going home?
No one's there to greet me.
Why isn't anyone there?
What about your wife and kid?
I've been living alone...
for quite some time now.
I got divorced.
My wife divorced me.
I know it's common...
to get a divorce these days.
But I still didn't want to go around...
telling everyone.
You gave me congratulatory money at my wedding.
And you even came to my daughter's first birthday.
So it was embarrassing.
Life never goes the way we planned it to be.
But you still should've tried to make it work.
You guys have kids.
I did try.
But she couldn't even stand the sound of my breathing.
I was given 300 dollars every month as my allowance.
And I worked so hard to earn money.
But she always just thought of me as a pathetic ATM.
A loser.
A pitiful jerk.
Mr. Yoo.
Humans are really interesting.
If you call someone a flower, they actually become beautiful.
And if you continue to call someone a loser,
that person actually becomes a loser.
My gosh, my life is already...
a huge mess.
My wife left me.
The company went bankrupt.
That's why I did that.
My life was miserable.
So I couldn't bear to get laid off as well.
That's why I didn't say anything...
even when I knew that you quit to help us keep our jobs.
I had to wire money for child support,
so I couldn't afford to be laid off.
My Na Eun...
My daughter.
Sending money for child support every month...
is the last piece of dignity I have left.
Sir.
Jin Wook,
when did I become like this?
I've never been a monster nor a loser,
so what happened to me?
Who made me this way?
Ddududu and cute
And scary, ddududu
Just one more drink, all right?
Shut it.
Okay, good. How about this then?
Just go to sleep for crying out loud.
Mr. Yoo.
No.
Jin Wook.
I'm sorry.
The company going under was the owner's fault...
and my life shattering to pieces was my wife's fault.
I should stop blaming others...
and get a grip on my life.
And now I will
But until when are we going to live...
based on other people's opinions and avoid facing the truth?
Don't you think we should...
try to do our best and see how it turns out?
Ji Na.
(Miss Lee)
Are the losers of Cheongil causing some trouble or what?
The upgraded features will definitely give us an edge.
We might be in the red until we gain consumer trust.
Diving into the vacuum cleaner industry...
will only put you in more of a crisis.
If Seongwoo buys Cheongil out, your shares will regain their value.
The other employees are working hard,
but my head's elsewhere...
because my shares could regain their value.
You're hanging in there without giving up.
I'm proud to call you my sister.
