(July 2008)
I'm home.
- Hey. - Hi.
It's so hot.
My poor sweetie.
What are you doing? Go away.
I want to be with my girl though.
- I'm sweating. - Okay.
- Geez. - There.
There's no need for that. You'll get tired.
I'm not tired at all.
It's for my little girl.
I'm so sorry you have to suffer in a house...
without an air conditioner in the middle of summer.
If I have to choose over a house with an air conditioner and Mom,
- I'd choose you. - Really?
Yes.
Then let's live here together for the end of the world.
Let's live happily ever after here.
Come on, it's hot.
- Let go of me. - But I love my little girl.
Where are the wastes?
- This way, please. - Okay.
You mean all of these?
Yes.
- Let's get started. - All right.
Excuse me.
I'll keep this one.
Sure.
(Blind side)
(Episode 12)
You should rest more.
I miss her more when I'm alone.
I'll walk from here.
It'd be awkward if people see us together.
Hold on.
Take this.
Did the funeral end well?
Yes.
I'm Ha Tae Young.
I came here because the chairman scouted me.
I'll lead Sung Un as a professional executive,
not as the chairman's daughter.
She's already shown her capacity from the outside...
so please support her with trust.
- You're here. - It's nice to see you.
Jae Woong.
- It's been a while. - When did you come back to Korea?
That was a bit of a surprise.
I've heard a lot of you from Dad, Mr. Choi.
I'll do my best to assist you.
- I'm the Director Park. - It's nice to meet you.
Director Heo?
I've heard a lot about you too.
- I'm Director park. - Great to meet you.
You should visit my office someday and have some tea.
We should go.
What's going on?
I thought you were the Vice President's man.
Also, about your wife's appointment...
Appointment?
Did you not know?
I'm sorry, I'll be excused.
Is it true that you're sending away Ms. Na to Ulsan Branch?
She's the victim of all this.
Please think it over, sir.
Please, stop!
You can't go in like that!
Leave us.
What brings you here?
I heard you directly ordered my appointment to Ulsan Branch.
You're crossing lines here.
I don't think...
you get to say anything about personnel organization.
Right.
I'm also fully aware of that.
However, if this is...
about Mr. Park's affair with Ms. On,
I'm here to tell you something.
If this appointment is...
to sacrifice me to cover up their affair,
I won't just sit back and watch.
I'll publicize all this.
If that happens,
It'd do damage to you too.
I've already lost so many things.
If you have nothing to lose, you fear nothing.
There's one thing I'm sure.
If everything goes public,
it would be you...
who'd be losing more, Vice President.
- Are you threatening me? - No.
I'm trying to protect myself.
Please do consider and make your decision wisely.
I chose you.
Every choice comes with an opportunity cost.
You should also make your choice.
I filmed the video from the Tifone exhibition.
Did Mr. Bae tell you to do that?
I had no idea that he would use it for such purpose.
I knew it was wrong in the first place.
I shouldn't have done it at that time.
Last night,
I went to see Mr. Bae.
But...
he...
The VIP team?
Yes.
It's the core department of our firm.
The Vice President was in charge of the whole team.
Then the head of the team, Mr. Park, became a director,
and the post of the head fell vacant.
Mr. Park?
Do you mean Director Park Sung Jun?
- Jae Woong's right-hand man. - Yes.
But something seems unusual between Vice President...
and Mr. Park lately.
Something must have...
happened between them.
I'm curious to know what happened.
I'll look into it.
It's already been ten years for us.
Time flies, doesn't it?
At the time,
we didn't know things would come to this after ten years.
I know, right?
How are you doing?
It must be tough to keep seeing him...
in the office.
I think they're seeing each other again.
Those crazy...
I'm all ruined now.
Will he be happy?
I wish all the other things would be ruined.
You said you wanted to talk to me.
Tell me.
Is something wrong?
Jung Sun.
Young Jun! Seo Jun!
Clean it up now, or you're not having dinner.
Honey.
I made dinner. Let's go and eat.
I think...
they need to starve about a day...
to have the same energy as regular people.
We'll eat without them, okay?
Let's go eat without them.
There's a saying: "If you can't cure a disease with food,"
"you can't cure it even with medicine."
This is perfectly healthy.
That's good.
Enjoy.
It's tasty.
I must be a talented cook.
If I had known earlier,
I would have become a star chef and be successful.
Watch.
Let's eat.
It's good...
to share a meal with you at home.
Hey,
how will you deal with Mr. Bae?
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E23 'VIP' "Public Disclosure" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Happiness poll on Korean employees in 2019)
(I am...)
(The Miracle of Customer Service, Sung Un Department Store)
This was posted on the bulletin board system last night.
I am the victim of attempted rape committed by Director Bae Do Il...
of Sung Un Department Store.
I belong to the VIP team of Sung Un Department.
I'm Manager Lee Hyun Ah.
On the evening of October 18th last year,
Director Bae Do Il had...
attempted to rape me at Shinhan Hotel.
At the time,
I was a person who wanted to win.
(October 2018)
Do you drink well?
I drink well enough to not lose to anyone.
Is that so?
I figured I could keep pace with you two this way.
I like that you're straightforward.
I appreciate it.
I wouldn't bring anyone to our side, sir.
I thought I was doing well...
before that happened.
Yes, Mr. Bae. Where are you?
I brought the documents you've requested.
All right.
Here are the documents.
Where's our customer?
Right.
It seemed it would take some time for us to review the documents,
so we postponed the date.
Have a seat.
Yes, sir.
I'm sorry, but I drove here.
You can use a chauffeur service.
No, sir.
You must be tired from all the meetings today.
I'll get going now.
What's the matter?
You should know by now.
Mr. Bae.
There must have been a misunderstanding.
Come on. What misunderstanding?
Are you trying to pull back now?
I know you want this.
- What's the matter? - Let me go.
Stop it, Mr. Bae.
- Stop it. - What?
- What's wrong? - Stop it!
Open your legs.
Darn it!
Hey, you.
I wanted to report him after that incident,
but I was scared.
So in the end,
I chose to run away.
After a year,
I am revealing this...
because I have found out...
that there's another victim of his sexual harassment.
(VIP Team)
The past year was...
torturous for me.
It must've been the same for the other victim.
I cannot stand to see any more of such victims.
Thus, I've decided to reveal this incident.
What is this?
Come on.
Were you aware of this?
Lee Hyun Ah, you...
How could you keep this to yourself?
Why are you crying?
I had no idea.
What are you going to do?
It's not true.
She approached me for promotion, and now she's getting back at me...
because she didn't get promoted.
How could you get involved...
with such a scandal at a time like this?
I will take care of it.
I'll make sure to reveal the truth...
and prove my innocence. Please wait.
It's okay.
The writing was posted on the online community...
which everyone in the industry shares information.
It was even reported on a news show.
Isn't it a groundless claim?
She didn't get promoted,
so she might've posted it to get back at her superior.
Whoever is at fault,
we should settle this incident as soon as possible...
and make an announcement.
We will suffer the least damage that way.
If we try to deal with it quickly,
it could become even worse.
Let us...
watch how things go for now.
That'd be all for today.
Mr. Park.
See me in my office.
Yes, ma'am.
A year ago,
Ms. Lee submitted a letter of resignation,
but you changed it to a leave of absence.
Were you aware of this?
Yes.
Did you stop her in case it made a commotion?
She did not want this to be publicized then.
Why don't you...
try talking to her?
The media is having their eyes on it already,
so it's causing a headache to the company.
You're close to her.
Try persuading her...
so that things don't get bigger.
She must've had to muster up so much of her courage...
to make this decision.
I think it's only right of me to support her for now.
I apologize.
You're an executive of this company.
Shouldn't you be on the company's side...
instead of an individual?
For the sake of the company as well,
the rotten pus should be pressed out.
Covering up the problem doesn't mean it will disappear.
I believe you have an alternative to go with your choice.
Make a report on your alternative...
and submit it to me.
Yes, ma'am.
According to the Vice President's driver,
Mr. Park and Ms. On, the Vice President's daughter,
seem to be in a special relationship.
Sir,
did you see the pictures of Mr. Lee's past?
The pictures of her past?
Ms. Lee and I went to the same college.
She had so many boyfriends since then.
I heard she seduced him on purpose and got back at him...
when she didn't get promoted.
- That's so like her. - Goodness.
I knew it.
It was unlucky for Mr. Bae.
I mean, you can't clap with one hand.
He must not have done it alone.
What a world, seriously.
I'm too scared of female employees to speak freely.
From now on, I should give instructions to them...
through documents or something.
Hey, Ms. Lee.
Don't you have respect for your superiors?
You've seen your superior, so you better greet him.
I thought I was invisible to your eyes.
I apologize.
See? That rude wench.
- Ms. Lee, are you okay... - I'm okay.
(Director Bae Do Il)
Hello?
Why don't you post a sequel of it?
(Mr. Park)
I will wait near the intersection.
Get in.
The chairman wishes to see you.
It's an important occasion, so try not to make any mistakes.
The person you have called cannot be reached.
Did you come here to find her?
How long has it been?
It's been three years.
Yes.
She's also our family now,
so I told him to bring her to introduce each other.
Sit down.
Let's eat.
There seem to be many rumors about the company.
Her relationship with men is quite complicated,
and it seems that she has a lot of problems.
Director Bae is getting trouble for nothing.
It's a sensitive issue that the public might rage about,
so we should treat it carefully.
I'll take care of it.
Tae Young, I trust that you'll take care of it.
Sure, don't worry about it.
Right, I heard that recently...
you had to go through a death?
You must have been in sorrow.
This is a family event, so enjoy the food.
Yes, sir.
I was worried...
because this couple has no child.
Now I'm relieved.
I told Mr. Choi...
to take care of the family registration.
Father,
do you have to rush this?
She has the Ha family blood, so why should we wait?
We found about her after a while, but treat her like she's yours.
Yes, sir.
Eat.
Since you are now officially recognized...
as part of the Ha family,
your appearance needs to be decent as my daughter.
Whether it comes to behavior or anything else...
If you don't behave, it's your mom who gets the blame.
I met the victims that are in Mr. Lee's list,
including the ones who resigned.
(Bae Do Il)
(It's just a joke. That's why I like you, Ji Yeon.)
(Yes, keep up the good work, pretty Ji Yeon!)
Please help us.
(Bae Do Il)
(I feel crazy when I see you. Don't you think I'm pretty nice?)
Four people decided to help us.
It's five including me.
If we have to go to court, it's going to be tough.
We knew that...
this would happen.
Hello?
Is this Lee Hyun Ah's number?
Yes, this is she.
I'm Jung In Young, from the HR team.
A report about the truth and an apology statement...
If we make this go public,
the company's image could get worse.
This problem is not a personal one,
but it's a social problem as well.
If we find out the truth and fix our sexual harassment policies,
and show that our office culture is changing before other companies,
the customers will think better of our company's image.
I'll review it.
Also,
I have something...
to ask you personally.
Mr. Park,
won't you join my side?
I know that you...
and Jae Woong were quite close.
That's why I would really like you to be on my side.
I saw your post.
It must be hard for you.
I'm fine.
This happens often with these kinds of incidents.
It's easy for the company to say it's the woman's fault.
It's like an impossible task.
I know.
You might have thought it would be better if you made it go public,
but actually, it could go both ways.
It might be harder for you because of that, like today.
Myungil also had a victim who tried to make it go public,
but she only got disadvantages from the company...
and she ended up resigning.
If you write a post that explains everything...
the company will help you so that you won't get any backlash.
People will only talk about it for just a while.
Wouldn't that be better for you?
(Group email)
What kind of idiot...
sends an email to the whole staff?
(Bae Do Il)
That day,
you tried to rape me at the hotel.
Try saying that to the people.
I just have to...
say that you approached me first for a promotion.
Who would the people believe?
They believe people with power.
This is something that happens often when people are drunk.
I was a little too affectionate towards my colleague,
but seeing you react like this...
I'm also very flustered.
I'll go over this just once,
but if this happens again,
my trust towards you will not be the same.
Becoming a whistle-blower...
and becoming a victim of rape was not...
something I could bear with just my determination.
But among all these things,
the hardest thing was facing my fears.
Whenever I felt terrified,
I thought about the year I spent hiding.
If I lived hiding for the rest of my life,
I would be in a much worse state.
That's why...
I don't intend to back off.
I hope many people get to know the truth...
and this goes public.
That's how even the smallest changes are made.
Unfortunately, there were more victims besides me.
Some of the victims helped me to make this go public.
Anyway, I hope there will...
be no more victims.
How dare you!
We filed a complaint.
I should have given it to you earlier.
- Here it is now. - You can't take me down.
- I won't die from this. - You can't die now.
You should live...
and pay for your sins.
I did the right thing, right?
This is Na Jung Sun.
I was impressed that day.
But we couldn't obtain the result we wanted.
You must have realized from the transfer this time,
but if you make an enemy of Mr. Park,
you also make an enemy of him.
It's weird, isn't it?
Why didn't he...
give up on Mr. Park when he had an affair with his own daughter,
and abandon you instead?
Is it because Mr. Park is his favorite?
I don't know what you mean.
He won't...
let go of Mr. Park.
They're quite strongly attached to each other.
I should get going.
Why are you telling me this?
I've been in an embarrassing position these days.
I thought I should...
torture him a little bit.
Think of it as a gift.
I canceled Ms. Na's transfer.
We'll handle the matter as you wish.
I heard...
my sister is trying to put you on her side of the boat.
My father...
He didn't even consider her...
as a probable successor because she's a daughter.
Putting her in the president's seat must be...
a warning message towards me.
But as far as I know,
once my sister sees an opportunity,
she will never back off.
I'll be honest with you.
I'm literally beset with internal and external troubles.
I need you.
What happened with Yu Ri is...
all water under the bridge.
I must tell you something.
I plan to stay by Yu Ri's side.
I'm sorry.
I've chosen to stay by her side for now.
Fine.
I won't oppose to your relationship with her.
But I have a condition.
File a divorce legally,
then you can see her after things are cleared up.
Yu Ri has...
already been exposed to the press.
It's also critical for her to be known for the affair.
You should at least have this much common sense.
Now that I've told you my answer to the matter,
I think it's your turn to answer.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E24 'VIP' "The Written Complaint" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I came by your office a few times.
But...
I didn't know what to tell you.
Ms. Lee.
I apologize.
When you wanted me to stop,
I regret...
taking it lightly and as a joke. I sincerely apologize.
I wanted to cheer you up. I really did.
Thank you.
You should know that this is an occupational disease.
It's pretty, isn't it?
Clean all this up before you leave. Or you're dead.
It'll be of use later on.
I don't have enough space to put them.
Cheers!
Why are you drinking soda on a day like this?
You should drink alcohol.
- I'm expecting. - You're expecting?
What? Am I the only one who didn't know?
Thank you for your hard work.
Same to you.
But this won't be the end of it.
Life is quite exhausting, right?
That's life.
You can't predict anything.
I didn't know I'd be getting a divorce.
A divorce?
Wait. Am I the only one who didn't know again?
Is that your husband?
Take it.
Yes.
Wait. Bring it in, guys.
When are you coming home, honey?
Mi Na isn't going home today.
Hello. Say hello, kids!
- Hello. - You too, Young Jun.
Hi.
Yes. I'm...
I'm fine, so have fun all you want.
It's fine, really. They're just acting weird all of a sudden.
Ms. Lee, thank you for your hard work today.
You know I played my part, right?
All those sexual harassment messages...
being sent on the company's messenger,
I've found all of them thoroughly.
- All right. - Dad's on the phone!
I'm sorry. Just give me a minute.
Thank you, Mr. Lee.
- What are they still doing up? - They won't go to bed.
We should stop giving them red ginseng.
They're still so energetic at this hour.
Let's seriously consider it.
We'll have a pleasant time alone now.
Sure.
But you will come home...
I also didn't know I'd be raising three children.
Or will it be four?
So what happened?
- Cheers. - Cheers.
You guys are so mean.
I really am disappointed.
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding that time.
I even sent you that text message.
I felt like I should apologize.
It's fine.
But I was a bit surprised.
I didn't know you would send an anonymous text like that.
It's because I got a strange text message.
Someone sent me a message saying that he's seeing someone on my team.
I must have lost my mind.
The message turned out to be true after all, though.
What are you guys doing? Hurry up!
I'll take this out first.
I'll wash these and bring them out.
(On Hye Seon)
- Bye. - Congratulations.
Hello.
Bye.
Love you.
Love you guys!
It's taking some time for me.
Ms. Na.
About the text you received that day...
Will you come in for a second?
Well,
there's something I want to ask.
It's about the day...
when we first met after the breakup.
The day I was appointed to your team?
That day,
why did you do it?
It's been a month.
Yu Ri.
- We... - I know.
We broke up already.
But...
we will be seeing each other every day from now on.
Can you be okay with it?
Can you?
I have to.
(My Wife)
I'm supposed to have dinner with my wife.
I need to go home.
Your mother is here.
But you love me!
We...
still love each other.
(Department Transfer Application)
To the Dongjak-gu Office, please.
(Your husband is having...)
(an affair...)
(with someone...)
(in your team.)
(Send)
(Your message has been sent.)
That was On Yu Ri?
Why did you send that message to Jung Sun?
(Ms. Na Jung Sun)
Where are you?
How dare you send me such a message?
- Jung Sun. - Get out of our team.
Don't bring this to a worse mess, and get out yourself.
"Manager Ha Yu Ri"? She's part of the Ha family now, is that it?
Your father gave you a manager position,
but I wonder how you will get that place.
It will be a pit of fire for us.
I told you. Let's go to the pit of fire together.
It's better to be evil to the end than to be half evil.
I know I'm a horrible witch,
but don't hate me.
