She should've just come along.
The buses might stop running soon too.
Mom.
You know, right?
I didn't fool him on purpose.
I do.
If I were alive,
I'd pour a glass of soju for you...
and we'd go to a karaoke room on a day like today.
I died too soon.
I'm sorry...
for making you worry even after you died.
It's a mother's job to worry about her children even after death.
But you see,
I think I'm a horrible person.
I didn't mean to fool him,
but maybe I did do it on purpose.
What are you talking about?
Actually,
I liked it a bit.
I liked how he put up an umbrella for me on a rainy day.
How he followed me around.
I knew it was all for...
Veronica Park,
the heiress of Park Group,
not Jeong Gal Hee, his lackey.
Still, I liked it.
It was nothing meaningful,
but he would've never treated me like that...
if I were just a secretary to him.
Go in now.
You might catch a cold.
(When I First Saw You)
You said...
you met your secretary on the day of the incident.
Your secretary said she went to her mom's house, one hour away.
When did you meet her?
We've got our hands on something very interesting.
Check this out.
Hwangcheon Villa at 12:10am.
Han River 17 minutes ago.
This proves...
that Secretary Lee Eul Wang visited her mom's house.
We've also secured...
the statement of the security guard who saw her that day.
How did you meet her?
I didn't say I met her.
I said I went to go meet her.
Eul Wang sounded unusual on the phone that day.
You call her by her name?
Do I have to talk about my privacy too?
Fine, go on.
Hello, Ms. Lee.
Ms. Lee?
Go straight 200m and turn left...
- on Hwangcheon Intersection. - Ms. Lee?
It seemed like she got into an accident.
She didn't answer her phone, so I got worried.
I took a taxi and went straight to Hwangcheon Intersection.
When I got there...
Your secretary wasn't there?
- No. - Dear.
We already checked the CCTV installed around that area too.
From 9pm,
not even a single taxi was captured in the security camera...
on the access street from Seoul to Hwangcheon Intersection.
That's possible.
Because the taxi driver got the wrong way.
Was it Ohwol-ri?
We approached the intersection from that direction.
Ohwol-ri?
There's an exit to that neighborhood before the intersection.
Did you check that place too?
They haven't installed any security cameras because it's too remote.
It may not be what you wanted, but I told you what I know.
Am I good to go now?
Don't you think it's strange?
It's natural for a secretary to go see their boss...
if something happens to them.
But he traveled an hour to see his own secretary...
in the middle of the night to see if something happened to her.
(CEO Shim Hae Yong)
The life in the suite almost made me forget.
Right.
This is where I belong.
"This contract terminates..."
"when the contractee wants to."
It was my dream...
to be offered such a contract.
I wonder...
if they have met by now.
What? Why hasn't he called or anything yet?
I'm running late!
(Employment Contract)
She's coming.
The heroine of the shareholders' meeting is back in the office.
She'll soon become the secretary of the next CEO.
The rising sun of T&T Mobile.
Jeong Gal Hee!
What is wrong with our heroine?
Her face looks so pale, not like the rising sun.
(Chief Director Do Min Ik)
Hello, Mr. Do.
You're late.
You have something to tell me, don't you?
I do.
Where should I begin?
So yesterday,
when I went to the restaurant...
Mr. Do, what took you so long?
She already left.
You didn't get to meet her then?
She just left to attend business.
She said she'd contact you.
It must be her. Pick it up.
Okay.
Hello?
So did you meet her?
The story gets exciting from now on.
You're here.
Hold on.
What was Dr. Gu doing there?
Why did you meet him all of a sudden?
Gosh, you're getting so worked up...
that I want to make the story up.
Can't you tell me the ending first?
I have somewhere to go.
Consider it a commercial break.
Wait here with a sheet of blanket.
It has such a shocking twist...
that you might need some warmth as you listen.
Did he see her or not?
I'm sure he didn't.
If he had seen her, he would've thought it was really suspicious.
So why would he beat around the bush like that?
No, he saw her.
That must be why he mentioned the twist.
What else...
would be the twist of this story?
Did you have it ready? Where is it?
Is this it?
Goodness.
I should've listened to Dr. Park.
I said such a needless thing over the phone being drunk.
What are you talking about?
"If you raise your blood pressure,"
"you will be able to recognize people's faces."
I've heard the most shocking twist in my entire life.
The increased blood pressure will temporarily enable...
enough blood supply in your brain and cause the normal blood flow.
But it's just a plausibility, not a guarantee.
That is why I'm going to try.
From now on,
I'm going to focus on raising my blood pressure at all times,
even in my sleep if possible.
Blood pressure isn't like grades. You can't raise it with effort.
- What? - Besides,
you've never seen anyone's face ever since the accident.
No.
I've seen faces.
You have?
Once, it happened at the shareholders' meeting.
It was like...
I was bringing a camera...
into focus.
I was able to see people's faces clearly.
- There's more. - What is it?
But...
I wonder...
if I actually saw it that day.
I see you.
When was it? What were you doing?
Well, it was unintentional,
but like this.
I happened to...
hold a woman like this.
- Was it someone you like? - What?
Dr. Park treated a patient with the same disease.
She said the patient could clearly see the face of someone he loved.
Great. All right.
Your heart races when you're with someone you love.
The increased heartbeat...
naturally raises your blood pressure.
Love, my foot.
It must've been a dream.
What about the medicine?
That's too dangerous.
To raise the blood pressure in your brain,
you need to get a heart stimulant or a few 1L bags of IV fluid.
In that case, you might suffer from side effects...
pain in the chest, headache, or renal failure.
What is this?
Medical compression stockings.
Patients with a spinal injury...
wear them to treat orthostatic hypotension.
Are you telling me to wear them?
You told me to bring anything that could raise your blood pressure!
As you asked,
I made a list of situations that could raise your blood pressure.
And this is a portable blood pressure monitor.
Nice.
I wonder who you want to see...
by doing all this.
There is a face I must see.
I'm going to find...
the moment, the place, and behavior...
that could help me raise my blood pressure.
Then I'm going to meet her...
even if I can see her face...
only for a few seconds.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E13 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Min Ik Pumps His Blood Pressure Up" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Did I say this before?
I'm worse of a person than you may think.
I didn't get to say this either, Mr. Gi.
I'm the crazy witch...
who hunts down jerks.
How may I help you?
I'm her close acquaintance.
You have to make a prior appointment.
Why is it so noisy outside?
No, wait!
I apologize.
She kept saying she was your close acquaintance...
and insisted in entering your office.
What a nice office you've got.
I looked you up, lady. I mean, I take it back.
You are...
quite renowned.
Look, this office is nerve-wrecking and frightening...
even for directors...
whose movies draw in 10 million viewers.
How dare you come in here fearlessly?
What?
You think I'll get mad at you?
I can just buy one more. It's not even a big deal.
Really?
It's okay, right?
Making it two won't make any difference.
Secretary Gye! Go make an order...
of exactly the same products.
Right now!
Yes, ma'am.
Do you want me to kick her out?
Leave her be.
So I can throw a fit at her if she does anything to pick on.
Yes, ma'am.
I'm here to ask you something.
What should I do to become a star?
You don't even know how to cut an onion,
but you want a secret pasta recipe?
Is that it?
Isn't it all you do?
Well, some.
Did you study in New York?
- You have the east coast accent. - No, I took online lessons.
I was the top student in my high school.
Unfortunately,
I didn't get accepted to the University of Pennsylvania.
Then play in your pool.
Why are you making a scene in a place you don't belong?
Becoming a star is the only chance...
to raise my status in Korea.
Becoming successful with my studies will only make me...
clean up the mess created by rich people like you.
Don't you think...
I'm cleaning the mess you created right now?
I'm going to be a star no matter what.
Then I'm going to make everyone,
who gave my sister a hard time and looked down at her,
go down on their knees before her.
Revenge?
That word suddenly makes it quite tempting.
But first before then,
have a seat here,
and express...
your thirst for revenge here.
Think about every single person...
who tormented your sister.
Throw all your boiling anger, hatred, and rage...
right here.
Ms. Jeong.
Where did she go?
I told her to wait.
Did she sign the contract already?
It must've seemed so beautiful to her...
that she signed it already.
I'm sorry.
You're here, sir.
"I'm sorry"?
Does it mean...
you won't sign the contract with me anymore?
Shouldn't that be...
the case?
Why?
Has anyone else offered a better position to you?
- What? - Or...
are you tired of me?
That's... actually...
He didn't see her. He didn't!
That's why he doesn't know why I should quit.
Jeong Gal Hee. Open your mouth! Please!
And tell him the truth now!
What's wrong? Is it so hard to tell the truth?
- Yes. - Yes?
- Yes! - Yes?
I get it.
I'm always busy,
bad,
and sick as well.
I was a...
troublesome boss to you.
A boss and his secretary.
A relationship with a one-sided power dynamic.
The employer and the employee.
That's who we are.
If you don't like me,
you can leave.
Ms. Jeong.
You were a brilliant person.
You must remember the day when we last met.
I do remember.
You said if I kick out Min Ik from the directorate,
I'd be the head of the Media Department.
I wonder why the player is not following the coach.
We didn't make any promises. It was only your suggestion.
I never agreed on that.
Then who is it?
Who are you working for? Me or Do Min Ik?
Should I...
always work for someone else?
You're right.
You should sometimes play your own games.
Director Park wants you out of this.
But I don't agree.
Although you shot the ball into your own goal,
you're still one good player.
Moreover, that calculative girl, Veronica Park...
is supporting you while risking her position.
I should keep you on my team no matter what.
What do you mean?
Veronica Park is risking her position?
Jogging and cycling are effective in elevating your blood pressure.
The alarm will go off if your blood pressure is over 140.
It's considered hypertension beyond 140.
What's wrong? Is it so hard to tell the truth?
- Yes. - Yes?
- Yes! - Yes?
Yes?
I'm not keeping her because I like her!
What? 100 only?
I've worked out this much!
Only 100? What kind of exercise should I do to raise it?
Alcohol ingestion after exercise...
activates sympathetic pathway and increases blood pressure.
An alcoholic drink!
Why did I say yes? Why?
My, my.
He should have just met her.
Everything is messed up!
My, my.
Who's wearing tights here?
Ms. Jeong?
One pig's feet set and soju, please!
If this is awkward for you, should I go?
Why? You're the one feeling awkward...
bumping into me here.
That's not what I meant.
Then let's not mind each other...
and just drink our own soju.
The only reason I came here is...
to drink soju.
Why soju all of a sudden?
You don't drink more than a glass of champagne.
And your outfit is...
weird.
Why is my order taking so long?
You can have this first.
What's this? A blood pressure gauge?
What are you doing?
- Do you have bad blood pressure? - No, it's...
The moment my disease is cured,
this contract between you and me...
will be over.
Then, she'll leave me...
as soon as I can distinguish...
people's faces.
It's nothing serious.
Dr. Gu recommended to check it regularly.
Then it is serious.
Is that what Dr. Gu told you yesterday?
If you're going to keep talking, share the table.
It's obvious you know each other.
You're mistaken!
We're not close!
We're only a professional relationship.
Starting today... Whatever!
We're now against each other.
I've finished an entire bottle.
Maybe it's broken.
I think you're the broken one.
Me?
I'm not drunk at all.
No.
Where's the lever?
No way!
Okay.
Ms. Jeong.
Call the police.
- Why? - Did you just say why?
Can't you see this?
Someone stole the handle!
Get down.
Please get down.
I think you should hold tight!
You were staggering.
I don't need to hold tight.
I'm totally sober. So just keep driving.
Then...
I should tell you something.
It was hard to tell you face to face,
so I'll just talk now.
What is it?
Actually, I...
Are you okay?
Maybe I'm still drunk.
My heart is racing.
And I feel nauseous. What's going on with me?
(Episode 14 will air shortly.)
My, my.
Mother.
Are you...
going somewhere?
I am.
To your wedding.
Mother.
I haven't tasted him thoroughly.
You brat!
To know the taste, one bite is good enough!
If you keep dipping your spoon,
your taste buds will die out!
Look at this.
I can't wear silk in the summer...
when my armpits sweat.
Hurry up before the flowers fall!
Set up the date!
She's making me go nuts!
Chief Director is here.
I'll go home now.
Take care.
Hey.
You said you had something to tell me.
That's...
well...
I'll tell you when you're sober.
Good night.
Do you really have to go?
What?
Can't you...
just stay...
by my side?
Can't you do that?
Do you want me to stay by your side?
No.
It was only two bottles of soju...
and I'm speaking like a poet.
I'll say it again.
I'll accept all your terms...
and all your conditions.
So reconsider our contract.
Until the election,
I need someone to help me.
My my!
Good bye!
Who is calling her?
Hello?
I think I'm in front of your house.
Where?
My place is a bit shabby.
So this is how a shabby house looks like.
Awesome!
I've only read this in the books.
It's my first time to be in such a shabby place!
Since you came this far at this hour,
it must be something important.
Let's break up.
What?
Let's break up the relationship...
between me and your boss.
That's what I want to do.
If I'm the one who breaks up,
I'll end up with a hunched back...
after my mom attacks me in the back.
So tell your boss...
to tell Director Shim...
that he broke up with me.
I don't think he will.
Why?
He's in love.
What?
His family thinks that...
he's in love with you.
You really got things complicated.
Why do you keep on adding unplanned scenarios?
I'm sorry.
I didn't expect this.
Then,
let's say that I fell in love with another guy.
Another guy?
Although your boss loved me so bad,
I was already in love with someone else.
If Director Shim hears this,
she won't tell what she's heard to my mom.
Then it will be cleared up with typical reasons...
like personality differences or busy schedules.
What do you think about my scenario?
Ms. Park, actually it's...
Listen carefully, Jeong Gal Hee.
Because of your scenario, my mom even bought herself a dress.
So it's time to pick one.
Either we'll go by my scenario,
or I'll walk the aisle holding his hand.
No!
"I am the only one..."
"who should be..."
"by his side. Me, Jeong Gal Hee."
My, my. I got you.
Let's wrap this up as soon as possible.
Or by next week, Ms. Park will start...
to print out wedding invitations.
Can't you just...
stay by my side?
Can't you?
I want to too.
Then, let's say...
that I fell in love with another guy.
But still!
How can I lie to him again?
No way!
I won't put my hands on it!
Thank you!
Hey!
This book, As You Like It.
Isn't this an erotic book?
I purchased it because of the title.
But the story is a crap.
It's Shakespeare!
What? Is he a bad writer?
The world's a stage.
All the men and women are merely players.
The world...
And one man in his time plays many parts.
- is a stage. - The act comprises of seven stages.
Shakespeare wouldn't...
have said anything wrong!
Do you know what kind of person he was?
Is this a great one too?
After reading that Herman Hesse or Husse's book...
Beneath the Wheel,
I was careful when choosing a book not to be tricked by its title.
That's right!
Shakespeare said it's just a stage! What's there to worry?
I'll meet up with him and tell him I'm breaking up...
with him for someone else.
Then it'll be the end!
(I have something to tell you. Can we meet tomorrow?)
Press it!
After this,
I'll be back...
to my usual days.
Gal Hee.
Although I won't be his girlfriend anymore,
I'll be by his side...
as his secretary.
So press.
Press the button!
I sent it!
I have something to tell you.
Can we meet tomorrow?
Tomorrow? Tomorrow?
What should I do?
I can't go back to sleep with this blood pressure.
I'll take this bag...
and wear these heels.
For the earrings...
I forgot the copy.
The name of the file...
Is it an excel file?
Why would Mr.do need an excel file?
(D.E.R.)
(Human unfair but fate shall be fair.)
Human unfair but fate shall be fair...
Is it a typo?
It's not "Humans are."
What is "human unfair"?
How can I wear this?
What did I just hear?
- You son of... - Ma'am.
It's not what you think.
What you're looking at...
is...
- for a medical reason. - If those are medical stockings...
this is...
an educational mop.
I'm going to take care of something more disgusting than feces.
Get out of here, you jerk.
I can't believe this is happening here...
in the middle of the day.
Get out.
I said get out.
- What are you doing, seriously? - Ma'am... I'm...
I'm a guy.
It's not that.
- No... - Why on earth would you do this?
You're mistaken.
I know what I saw.
Good morning.
Today's lunch is...
also rice soup, isn't it?
What's happening?
No.
What is he doing?
Director Do... get into the office.
What did we just witness?
What was that?
Is this...
one of his strategies?
You can go start eating first.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E14 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Gal Hee's Last Act" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Medical compression stockings?
To alleviate symptoms of varicose veins, skin ulcers...
and blood clots.
Is he sick again?
The Neurosurgery Department at Sangmo Hospital.
Jackpot.
Excuse me.
I am...
a secretary of Director Do.
Could I get his pants and shoes...
Wait a second.
It was hard to put on and it's still the same number.
I need to see Veronica Park's face today.
Do you know you've been acting weird recently?
- The election is around the corner. - Turn around.
Put on the pants.
If this is your hobby...
you should enjoy it at home.
It's not for fun. It's for medical purposes.
Not just stockings.
Compression stockings that increase blood pressure.
- Is it that bad? - Turn around.
How do you take them off?
It's...
I can't take them off.
You must've taken stockings off many times.
I only went out with girls who wore pants, okay?
You shouldn't be pulling the end.
What?
Start rolling them from your waist.
Roll them?
Like a snake sheds its skin.
- Do you want my help? - Turn around.
Don't look and don't come.
Just stay there and tell me what to do, okay?
How are you going to take them off?
Director Do.
Yes?
There's...
one way.
What is it?
Rip them off.
Rip them off?
Okay?
I won't look.
You're facing my back.
Excuse me...
let me touch you a little.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I'm ripping them off.
You don't have to drop me off.
Today...
you have plans.
Before the important plans...
I'm dropping you off.
So, reconsider the contract...
I gave you yesterday.
In the USB I mentioned...
I found a strange file.
Do you mean...
the licker...
and dog cleaner Na Young?
That's not...
an adult video unlike what you may think.
It looked like my old dog...
so I wanted to show it to Dae Ju.
It was an excel file.
The content was also weird.
There were numbers written like an account books.
There was a weird phrase written in the heading.
"Human unfair but fate shall be fair."
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Yes, we're okay.
It's folded.
It's okay. It was a little cut.
Why is there...
a file in my USB?
Isn't it the wrong one?
The same one is everywhere because they gave it out on foundation day.
It was in your clothes for sure...
on the day you got attacked.
I told him it was confidential.
Then...
does the one I picked up in Dae Ju's room...
belong to Dae Ju, not me?
I made a copy in my USB...
and left it in your drawer.
So, take a look at it tomorrow.
Okay.
I...
I think there's a problem in this car.
What should I do?
I should go to a repair shop.
We're almost there.
You...
You're not the kind of guy...
who clings onto girls, right?
The only thing your boss hangs onto...
is a pullup bar.
Then you don't...
get hurt...
by breakup letters?
Getting hurt...
only fits in that kind of situation.
I'm glad to hear that...
It's raining.
My umbrella. I had it in here somewhere!
- Secretary Jeong. - Let me go!
Let me go.
Come closer.
It's okay. You come closer.
Am I...
recognizing you...
now?
Why now?
What?
I'm not even drunk...
nor am I nervous.
Why?
You're not even wearing the cardigan.
Why? Is it the blood pressure again?
Then stay here.
I'm go buy an umbrella.
Stay.
Stay still...
for a minute.
- But... - Hey,
I'm okay.
Look at me for now.
It's been a while.
Secretary Jeong.
Does blood pressure...
also affect your intelligence?
I've been with you the entire day.
But...
you have plans today.
Right.
I'm sorry...
I don't think I can walk you home.
- Take this jacket. - No!
No, it's okay.
I can just use this.
Veronica Park, speaking.
Hello.
This is Do Min Ik. I'm sorry but...
could I make a change...
on where to meet up?
I have to...
take care of....
a few things.
Okay.
- I'll see you later. - Okay.
What's wrong with the location?
That place...
is right there.
Is he asking me...
to come to that forklift?
Is there something wrong?
Are you in my head?
How do you know everything?
When your mother passed away,
you also played games all day.
Is it because of...
the police?
It's all resolved.
Don't worry about that.
Or...
is it because of Veronica Park?
How do you know of Veronica Park?
This was sent to the office.
It's late. As usual...
thank you for the food.
Come to work tomorrow.
Director Gi Dae Ju.
(From Veronica Park, Cine Park)
(Certification of content)
Certification of content?
When Party B, Gi Dae Ju, does not...
meet his obligations of treating Party A,
Party A will notify interested parties...
and take legal action against Party B.
There's something that wasn't part of the plan, boss.
Somebody saw the document...
and unfortunately...
she remembered the phrase exactly.
Jeong Gal Hee.
She doesn't seem to have figured out the numbers yet.
But when she does...
she will take action.
Now there are two scenarios left.
She removes us first...
or...
we...
remove her.
She's coming.
Would I recognize her?
I'd recognize her.
I recognize her.
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
Did he recognize me?
How are you just like her?
Do you like me?
Isn't it unfair that a girl who has everything...
can also fall in love?
Your guts don't lie.
I knew something would happen.
How come you two are here?
