Sometimes, a minute...
is enough to change everything.
It's nice to meet you.
I'm Do Min Ik.
(Episode 3: Hello, Stranger!)
It's nice to meet you, I'm Do Min Ik.
It's nice to meet you too.
I'm Eun Jeong Su.
Wait.
Isn't this the man?
Did you see him?
I just greeted him.
What was he like?
Mr. Gi.
Well, I'll tell you later.
Who's that?
He's Min Ik's new chauffeur.
How is your schedule this week?
I'd like to make an appointment with you.
It's about the thing you mentioned.
No, right?
It can't be.
No way.
- No... - What are you doing?
- What are you up to? - Hey.
Gather up, girls.
Listen.
I was on my way to work this morning.
I was sure...
this red object passed in front of me.
Are you saying that that's Jeong Gal Hee?
If she's really back, it means she's a fool,
not just a pushover.
A swallow may come back from Gangnam,
and a beggar may return after one year.
It just can't be the case for Gal Hee.
She was going to kill her boss.
Would it make sense for her to work for him again?
This is my schedule this week.
This is the schedule for the joint meeting.
I changed my phone number.
- Save it. - Yes, sir.
For lunch,
do you know of Le Pommier in Cheongdam, right?
Go there and order a menu to go.
On your way back, stop by Yeonnamdong...
Aren't you going to lower yourself?
I won't.
Why?
"Tell me the terms you want."
You said so.
Did I?
"I'll make sure the contract reflects them."
You also said that.
- You see, I... - That's not all.
I refused, but you insisted in coming to see me...
and said to me,
"You're the only one I see in my eyes."
That's how you acted in such a clingy way.
I wasn't clingy.
"Jeong Gal Hee,"
- "I need you desperately..." - Okay, okay.
Okay, tell me what you want.
(Jeong Gal Hee's Conditions for the Renewal)
"Contractee will come to work by 9AM..."
"and leave work at 8pm."
"Contractor will only call Contractee during working hours..."
"and won't make her run personal errands unrelated to work."
"Contractee will be given a full hour for lunch..."
"and work five days a week."
Since when do secretaries...
have working hours?
When their boss leaves work,
that's when they leave work. When their boss works,
that's when they work.
I'm back...
as Secretary Jeong Gal Hee of T&T Mobile,
not as Do Min Ik's personal lackey.
If you don't come to work on weekends,
my fish will have to starve. That's animal abuse.
Are you aware that I had to starve myself...
to come feed that fish?
That's...
- human abuse. - So are you saying...
that we should starve my fish?
"Anyone..."
"can do this job."
"It doesn't have to be you."
That's what you said.
So...
anyone can do it.
All right.
If you're so disgusted that you want me to go,
I'll leave once and for all.
Fine.
Okay.
Instead, I have conditions too.
Go on.
Your boss...
isn't the type of person...
who gives up that easily.
My disease? That's right.
Even if my disease has no cure,
I have no intention of suffering from it.
I'm going to pull through this.
I'll go through the directorate and take the presidency.
"Mobile over TV, mobile over movie."
I'm going to finish the content business...
that my father left unfinished before passing away.
So you better put all your might into helping me...
so that no one in the world notices my disease.
Make me seem like I can...
see every wrinkle and pore on people's faces.
Do you understand?
Yes, sir.
- Is that all you require? - No.
There's one more.
And it's...
very important.
What is it?
The moment my disease is cured,
this contract...
between you and me...
will be over.
In the end, he needed a lackey who wanted to recognize people for him.
All right.
I just need to work as much as my payment's worth.
The buses...
are running.
The sun is still up.
There are people too.
Are you watching this, Mom?
Your daughter has finally made it!
I'm leaving work when everybody else is.
This is what happiness is about!
- Jeong Gal Hee? - Jeong Gal Hee?
Right, I know.
You must be flustered.
Knock, knock, knock.
Is your brain still there?
Answer me if it is.
You despised him up until a few days ago.
What made you change your mind dramatically?
What's all the big fuss?
- Hello, Ms. Lee. - Hello, Ms. Lee.
I called her. Have a seat.
I can explain what happened.
You stay if the company pays you. If not, you leave.
It's not like the company is your country.
Welcome back.
Thank you, ma'am.
I'm paying for all this today.
What are they doing near the office?
Who are they?
I'm so sorry,
but I need to go.
- Where's the bill? - Just go.
It seems urgent. I'll buy.
Okay. I'm sorry, ma'am.
I'll treat you to drinks and even a karaoke room later.
How about a club instead?
Sure, why not? I'm so sorry.
- I'm sorry. - It's a promise!
- A club? - Have you been to a club?
Don't you see this?
Even the police aren't allowed to enter without permission.
Look.
- We're busy. - You're obstructing justice here.
Do you understand?
- Excuse me. - Excuse me.
- You know us, right? - It's really her.
The other day, Mr. Do Min Ik...
Do Min Ik?
I'm sorry,
- but let's talk outside. - What...
- Where's Mr. Do Min Ik? - Goodness.
- Hey. - Yes, sir.
Are you close with that girl in the red cardigan?
Look into what Do Min Ik is up to these days.
Yes, sir.
In the morning and the evening,
my gifts are a little too much, aren't they?
What's the gift you sent this morning?
Is it Secretary Jeong?
Did she come back?
I guess not.
I spent one month's living expenses just for this occasion.
Now that Ms. Jeong is back,
it's an even better day to pop the champagne.
What did you want to say to me that you spent all that money?
Is it a favor?
It's a confession.
Dae Ju?
"11:53PM".
It means he was already there when you arrived.
But he didn't meet you.
Where did he go?
I hate deciding who gets to talk first...
so I'll just...
go first.
Of course. Ladies first.
There was an accident...
on the day we promised to meet.
An accident?
I was waiting for you.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E05 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Jeong Gal Hee Back at Your Service" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
I can't see.
I can't tell if his face is saying that he really didn't know...
or if he's just pretending.
Even so,
I'm sure he'll have the look...
of being...
worried about me.
Did you catch the culprit?
Did you see his face?
I saw his face,
but I couldn't catch him yet.
Are you okay?
I got a little hurt.
Wait.
- Who are you? - Goodness.
You two are together.
Why are you holding something so dangerous?
We're the police.
Ms. Jeong?
Is it because of this...
that you're suspecting me?
Murderers mostly target their acquaintances.
Usually close acquaintances.
75 percent of the victims are acquaintances.
Detective.
It should be revealed if it feels suspicious.
I'll tell you.
I went to meet him.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee?
But something came up with my secretary.
- Ms. Lee. - So I went back.
I tried calling Min Ik many times, but he didn't answer.
I got worried something might've happened to him,
so I came back.
Excuse me.
I'm sorry,
but can I borrow your phone?
I have to call someone urgently, but my phone is dead.
Thank you.
If I had known he was the culprit,
I would've looked at him closely.
Did you pay for the taxi fare with your credit card?
- No, with cash. - Cash?
It's strange.
Everyone pays with credit these days.
That is why I try to pay with cash.
Taxi drivers...
like the feeling of touching cash.
That's nice of you.
Write down...
your secretary's number.
Must you see her?
If not?
How will you prove your alibi?
Don't.
Let's close the case.
Mr. Do.
Are you serious?
You made all that fuss and pestered us to find the culprit.
Now you want to close the case?
We're the police.
We don't close the case just because you say so.
Am I your personal secretary or what?
I think we better close it too.
- What? - The CEO appointment's coming soon.
People could make up rumors to slander him as is.
And this is the perfect source.
What if reporters find out and try to cover this story?
It'll immediately put him in trouble.
Nothing has happened to him ever since then.
He should be fine.
If 75 percent of the victims are acquaintances,
it means 25 percent aren't.
- My goodness. - This is crazy.
It's dangerous for the time being.
You better travel by car even for personal appointments.
I'm sorry but please take that into consideration, Mr. Eun.
No problem. Don't worry.
How about...
you hire a bodyguard?
Never mind.
People in the company might start suspecting then.
Why did you come?
What?
The current time is...
11:50PM.
It's been four hours...
since your working hours ended.
You could've just given me a call according to your terms,
but you insisted in coming along.
Don't tell me...
you were worried about me.
I wasn't worried about you. It's just a habit of mine.
I'm not used to leaving work at 8PM yet.
That's a nice habit. I wish you never fix it.
Did I...
tell you this before?
Tell me what?
Thank you...
for coming back.
Use this...
as a pillow or whatever.
I'm here.
I always love you.
Ms. Shim.
You're here, Ms. Park.
I heard your son caused an accident.
You don't have to go straight to the point like that.
It wasn't an accident.
It was a mistake.
I'm very well-informed in that field.
It's either of the two when he can't even recognize his mom's face.
Drinking or drugs.
Goodness, are you shocked? You're so naive.
Anyway, it made me realize that...
he's good husband material for my daughter.
Your daughter?
I have this one crazy daughter.
You know that, don't you?
Crazy daughter?
Let's say she's unique.
She's special.
If that's what you think,
why don't you take her?
Your daughter and my son?
The other day,
you asked me about the exclusive film rights.
Tell him to try hitting on her.
If your son...
can make that brat fall in love with him,
it doesn't end with film rights.
You'll get to have our group...
as a whole.
I'm home.
Hi.
How are you feeling today?
Can you...
recognize my face?
I'm sorry.
I was too drunk that day.
If you wanted to play house, you should have done it properly.
Don't make it so obvious.
I've got...
a blind date for you.
Have you seen her before?
Yes.
Then again, she's famous.
You must've run into her here and there.
You don't look too surprised though.
Must I be surprised?
You really are like your dad.
You know how to make use of a woman.
Who on earth is she?
Get this girl,
and you'll go straight to the CEO position.
Then I'll hold onto your string...
to kick your uncle out and own the whole company.
What do you say? Do you think I'm bad?
If I do that for you,
will I become part of this family?
At the very least,
you'll be part of their family.
I don't have to pull a woman's string...
to sit on the CEO position.
But I'll go on the date...
if that means I can repay you...
for raising...
and feeding me.
Family...
It's nice to have one.
And a woman too.
But what am I supposed to do when I can't see?
Who are you?
What do you look like?
Ms. Park.
Everything is ready.
Director Kim, just stay next to Veronica Park,
and look only at the corners of her mouth.
- The corners of her mouth? - Didn't you hear?
If she smiles during a movie preview,
it guarantees a million viewers.
If she shows her teeth, it guarantees five million.
She's like the certified check at the World Cups.
Veronica is the certified check of the movie industry.
She's never been wrong even once.
("Train to Gwangju")
Make me show my teeth, if you can.
I'm so happy to have you back.
But...
I don't recall us hanging out on a weekend before.
That's because...
you were always busy working on weekends too.
By the way,
why did the detectives come to the company...
the other day?
- What? - Did Director Do...
cause any trouble?
Did he drive under the influence?
Did he assault someone?
Or is it sexual harassment?
- Hey! - What?
Is this...
the place where you wanted to go watch a movie?
Yes, Cine Park.
Look.
I don't watch movies at this theater. Bye, bye.
What are you talking about?
Half the movie theaters in Seoul are Cine Park.
If you don't watch movies at Cine Park,
you won't be able to watch any movies all your life.
That is why I haven't watched anything since "Frozen".
Why don't you watch movies at Cine Park?
I used to work for the boss of this company...
before I came to our company.
Brother...
it hurts.
Bok Seul.
Open your eyes!
We're almost there.
You mean the heiress of Park Group...
who owns everything, from the distributing agency...
and the production company to the movie theaters themselves?
Yes, the CEO of Cine Park.
Veronica Park.
I can't go without her.
Mister, please let me go.
People call her the psycho of the movie industry.
Bok Seul!
Mister, please...
Apologize to the electricity.
Apologize to the employees of Korea Electric Power Corporation...
who work in dust-free clothes in electrical rooms all day long...
just so we could play this horrible movie.
Apologize to the children in Cambodia...
who cannot study because of the lack of electricity.
Apologize to Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison...
who dedicated their lives...
to invent electric power...
just so we could play such a movie.
Apologize...
immediately.
Right now.
I heard she's like a suction cup.
She sucks the energy of every man she sees.
Do you remember...
the guy who came out as the rice cake seller?
Get me his number.
Sure, ma'am.
Three years ago.
♪ Do, re, mi ♪
♪ Fa, sol, sol ♪
Hi, Bin. I'm on my way right now.
Wait just a little.
(Awesome)
I was willing to put up with all the hard work,
but I just couldn't do that. That's why I quit.
Working with her was like burning my entire body.
Now it's like having a sty in my eye.
Awesome!
(Episode 6 will air shortly.)
Awesome.
No.
Ms. Park.
It's you, Jeong Gal Hee.
How have you been?
I've been better...
than when I was working here.
We had fun back then.
Didn't we?
You always did a good job for me.
How are you doing?
I'm...
looking for a new secretary.
No, no.
I'm working...
for a great boss.
Veronica Park, speaking.
I've been waiting for your call.
Okay.
I'll be there on time.
Who is that...
great boss of yours?
I'm working for Mr. Do Min Ik at T&T Mobile.
Really?
I'll see you around.
See you.
Why would I see her around?
It's done.
You're missing an N.
Excuse me?
P.E.N.N.
Pennsylvania has two Ns.
Is it a typo?
Who still sends mail these days?
Don't we all use emails now?
I don't think so.
No.
Why is it here?
Why is this girl looking at me?
What's that reaction?
Do you know her? Who is she?
Who is she? Don't you know?
You don't know...
She's Veronica Park, CEO of Cine Park.
Her?
Have you seen her?
No...
I've only heard about her.
I would've said no if I had known it was her.
- I also think you shouldn't... - It's on the 13th.
Kingdom Hotel at 9PM.
Are you going to meet her?
Unfortunately, your boss...
happens to...
always keep his word.
Make sure it's at nine...
so that I don't have to...
spend more time with her late at night.
Seriously.
Have you looked into it?
Excuse me?
I haven't yet.
Regarding the CEO spot, if I...
Descending.
Your new contract will also...
Canceled.
Remember.
Could you extend it to this week?
I'll look into it by all means.
163, 164.
175, 171.
180.
155.
155. 155.
153.
168.
160, 160... 168.
I'm getting off now.
Okay.
What are you doing?
This?
The heights of the employees.
If I know their heights,
I can guess who they are.
Are you memorizing all of it?
Yes, I'm almost done.
Look.
There are 23 employees whose heights are between 160 and 170.
Mr. Park.
Mr. Kim.
It means they're one of them.
If you categorize them by gender...
I learned you are 168.
Give it to me.
What are you doing?
Hair.
Mr. Park has a perm.
Mr. Kim has a short back and side haircut.
If you remember their hairstyles...
you'll figure them out faster.
Right.
Does Mr. Yook have a long hair?
I guess I can't get off early today either.
Doesn't he have a short haircut?
Short haircut?
Did she get a haircut?
Human resources Mr. Choi?
Sparkling.
You can't miss it.
Ms. Mo has...
Veronica Park's office. How can I help you?
Well, first...
I know how hard it is to work there.
Please take care of yourself.
I'm calling from Media Bureau 1 at T&T Mobile.
Mr. Do would like to make an appointment with Ms. Park.
I started working here yesterday so I haven't heard anything.
Could I call you back after I ask her later?
Could you ask her if Kingdom Hotel at 9PM on the 13th works for her?
Hold on a second.
Hello, Ms. Park. I got a call from T&T Mobile.
I know.
At 9PM on the 13th.
She says she already knows.
Really?
Okay, then I'll reserve a table under T&T Mobile.
Okay.
How did she know?
Did Mr. Do tell her himself?
Is it fate?
Fate?
Is it a hospital or a philosopher's office?
When is Dr. Park coming back from the US?
What you're talking about is beyond medical explanation.
You can only recognize this one person.
I know.
Does it not make any sense at all?
It doesn't make sense at all.
When the face recognition area is damaged...
it should apply to everyone.
Your brain doesn't pinpoint which face to recognize.
Then why is it?
- Is she bald? - No.
- Does she have a big mole? - No.
Chanel number five?
Does she wear too much perfume...
or the same uniform every day?
It's not a uniform...
but she wears the same clothes...
and always has the same look.
That must be it.
What?
Imprinting.
Imprinting?
Your memory of her hair, bag and clothes...
accumulate in your head,
which helps you recognize her.
Your eyes are not recognizing her.
Rather, your brain is imprinting her in your head.
Your brain is thinking "She is wearing this perfume."
"The one wearing a red sweater is her."
It's like a mustache reminds us...
of Charlie Chaplin right away.
Come to think of it,
she always wears...
a red sweater.
Hello, Director Do.
Mr. Do, what...
are you doing?
What are you doing?
Secretary Jeong.
Take it off.
Mr. Do...
- This is sexual harassment. - Then...
Put it on.
Okay, put this on.
Put it on.
Also, this.
Put this on.
And take off the glasses.
The shoes also.
Put on mine.
Put your hair down.
I'll give you three minutes.
Let me know when you're done.
Wow...
This is the hardest job ever.
I'm done. You can come in.
Secretary Jeong.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E06 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Veronica Park & Director Do" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why? Why?
Are you sick?
Yes.
I'm sick.
Very sick.
It's not fate at all.
Secretary Jeong.
Our contract.
You haven't...
This.
I was worried you'd change your mind.
I just got it notarized.
Look.
Good job.
Well done.
Please stop.
I'm crying more than at my mom's funeral.
Yes, right.
I'd like to reserve a table for two under T&T Mobile.
I told you.
I'm not taking that jangajji.
Listen to me. Eat rice and jangajji only.
Don't spend money on something useless...
and ask her for more money.
Keep it down.
I've checked other dishes...
but could you tell me what the amuse-bouche is that on day?
Amuse what?
As you know, the chefs decide on it each day.
I know but...
Mr. Do is allergic to nuts.
Could you make sure the meal doesn't contain nuts that day?
Thank you so much.
Do you even know what the amuse something is?
I don't.
I never going to find out ever.
Why not? We can eat it also.
You can't buy that.
You can't just order amuse-bouche.
When you have a French meal,
they present that dish...
to show off how good their restaurant is.
You can try that...
only when you order the first-class dish...
at a first-class restaurant.
I'm not crying because I'm sad.
It's the onions.
So, Nam Hee.
You should study hard so you get to eat an amuse-bouche one day.
Don't be like me...
who doesn't know what an amuse-bouche is.
Okay?
That's so sad.
Not everyone can be...
the top student of the whole school.
Just eat it, young lady.
Young lady?
Why did you just throw this?
- No, I mean... - Wipe it off.
I heard you were treating them at the club.
It must have been quite expensive.
Well, it was the right timing.
They even gave me a farewell party when I was fired.
But...
I had to leave because a secretary at the office...
was in need of my help.
Ms. Lee.
Yes?
Were you busy on the day that I had my farewell party?
What?
Se Young said you'd come too...
but you didn't.
Well...
Right, I was going to go...
but I had to go home because my mom was sick.
I'm sorry.
Home? Hwangchon, where your mom lives?
Yes.
Director Gi said...
that he left for her.
But...
she was at her mom's house all along?
You've been getting off early.
Yes.
Yes. I tamed my boss.
Now I get off at eight.
I don't work on weekends.
I take a lunch break for a full hour.
Are you sure you're the one who tamed him?
Are you sure you're not the one who got tamed?
That's supposed to be normal. No working on weekends.
Getting off work on time.
You're happy about getting what is normal.
You didn't tame him. Maybe it's him who tamed you.
He has a knack...
for making you feel thankful for what you already deserve.
Giving you what you deserve as if it were a gift.
Making your rights seem like happy gifts.
A high voice.
Extravagant clothes.
High heels.
That'd be enough...
to recognize her, right?
I told her it was reserved under T&T Mobile.
You'll be fine once you find the right table.
I'll be fine?
Do you know who Veronica Park is?
She's a titan of the film industry.
She's someone who you don't want to reveal any flaws to...
even if it's only one date.
You know nothing.
You're not the person to consider what others think.
I thought you treat everybody...
just as you treat me.
What?
Never mind.
You should leave early.
There's a protest at Gwanghwamun.
The traffic is bad there.
What's wrong with her?
I'm sorry I'm late.
- Hey! - Gal Hee!
What?
Are you going to dig up sweet potatoes at the field?
Are you going to the club in that?
So I took off my glasses and wore contact lenses.
You said you wanted to have fun and get messy. But look at you.
You should've taken off the cardigan, not the glasses.
Is it that bad?
- I feel dizzy. - Hey,
I have some clothes in the bag. Dress her in anything besides that.
Well,
why do I have to be the one to dress her?
Take it off. I can't imagine you in this.
- Throw that away. - Please.
What should we do?
We might be late.
Is that the hotel?
Yes.
I'll get off here. Running would be faster.
- I know. - Tell me about it.
No.
It's Friday...
It's enough.
Don't stop us. It's our business now.
It's between us and your eyebrows.
It's weird how the more we work on her, the more rewarding it is.
Seriously.
Why do I have to put earrings on her?
Has he arrived?
The traffic is bad.
Why isn't she picking up?
It's T&T Mobile. Did Ms. Park leave?
She should be there by now.
She had errands to run near Samseong-dong.
She said she'd head to Princess Hotel right away.
What?
- Hey! - Hey!
Princess Hotel?
I told you it was Kingdom Hotel.
Right?
I thought so too but Ms. Park said...
it was Princess Hotel.
- Hey. - Jeong Gal Hee.
Nice to meet you. I'm Veronica Park.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Gi Dae Ju from T&T Mobile.
Gi Dae Ju?
What happened?
That's my question.
Why are you at Princess Hotel?
I told you it was Kingdom Hotel.
You'll hear from T&T Mobile.
Please behave yourself this time.
Okay?
I always welcome guys.
Do Min Ik.
Veronica Park, speaking.
Ms. Park.
I'm Shim Hae Yong from T&T Mobile.
I've been waiting for your call.
Have you?
I want to introduce you to this guy.
How about 9PM on the 13th...
at Princess hotel?
Okay, I'll be there on time.
Who is that great boss of yours?
I'm working for Mr. Do Min Ik at T&T Mobile.
Now I see...
what happened.
There must have been a misunderstanding.
I'll go to Mr. Do right now...
and tell him you'll be late...
No.
If you make a mistake and get all tangled up,
just tango along.
If you make a mistake...
just tango along.
This is my favorite line.
What does that line have to do with anything?
This is that moment.
I made a misstep...
but I feel like it'll be fun.
Let's take care of our own missteps.
Ms. Park. Ms. Park. Hello.
How did it all turn out this way?
He wanted me...
to prepare the date thoroughly.
I should go to him...
and tell him the truth.
Okay, okay.
Excuse me...
if your company is late..
would you like some bread and the amuse-bouche first?
Okay.
I'm sorry.
I just got it.
I'll be there in 10 minute by taxi.
Stay put.
I have to ask Gal Hee so many things.
Jeong Su?
Jeong Su.
What are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here!
I've been waiting for you.
Excuse me?
Sometimes, one minute...
changes everything.
In that moment,
I wanted to sit...
on the chair he pulled out.
This is today's amuse-bouche.
I was curious about the amuse-bouche...
that I would never taste in my life.
And...
I wanted to know..
how he'd treat...
other girls...
besides me.
Wait.
I'm sorry.
I should've introduced myself.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Do Min Ik.
Thanks for your hard work.
This would be the one minute...
that would change my life.
Awesome. Nice to meet you.
I'm Veronica Park.
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
Why are you staring at me?
You're not like how I imagined you.
I need Veronica Park's number.
Can I have his number?
What?
I found him.
Who are you?
It was you.
No!
