(The Best Saver Award)
When she was a little girl, her family motto was...
"One moment of patience may ward off great disaster."
Awesome!
- Awesome! - Awesome!
She thought it was an amazing family motto.
Back then, she truly had no idea.
That her mother's great patience never paid off...
until she died of a serious injury.
Gal Hui.
Our...
family motto...
Okay. I'll make sure to follow it.
Take it down...
What did you say?
Now I'm about to die,
I realized it.
One moment of patience...
- Yes? - One moment of patience...
What about it?
The 19-year-old girl, Jung Gal Hui, never got to hear...
- how her mother's last words ended. - Mom!
You can't just leave us like this!
"One moment of patience" and what?
What did you want to say after "one moment of patience"?
And one day after 10 years,
she accidentally figures out the answer...
of her mother's last words.
(Episode 1: One Moment of Patience May Ward off a Great Disaster)
(Episode 1: What Happens...)
(After Moments of Patience?)
(10 years later)
They're pretty.
But...
they're a bit modest to be bought with this card.
Can I take a look at some other designs?
Okay.
I wonder if it began already.
Sparkly eyes, sparkly nose
And sparkly ears
Where is he hiding?
Even if he's competent, he's still too young.
We can't give authority to a guy like that.
(TnT Mobile, Director Kim Oh Chan)
Don't you agree, President Sim?
Look at those widened eyes and expanded nostrils.
He may sound a little harsh, but I still approve of him.
You need to stop asking me about the reappointment of my position.
The two things I hate the most...
are gang fights and family feuds.
(TnT Mobile, President Sim Hae Yong)
Hey, there's Min Ik.
"I will get reappointed as the president."
Gosh, Uncle Hae Yong.
His face already says it all.
Goodness, Director Do.
There's been an eight percent increase in new members last year.
To be honest, when you launched the IPTV service,
nobody expected that new members would join our mobile service...
just so they could watch that.
If I'm so good,
why are you trying to vote for my uncle?
What? Me?
Your smile came a little later than your words.
Do you have some other plan in mind?
My goodness, stop it.
Gosh, I got it right again.
But let me tell you something.
It's okay to vote for my uncle.
- The other two here... - Do Min Ik.
Let's add him and make that three.
The three of them are on my side anyway.
The rehearsal's almost over.
You know I hate crowded places.
You may carry on badmouthing me.
I'll excuse myself, then.
He makes me feel bare naked every time I run into him.
He remembers people's faces after only a single encounter.
And he can read people's minds just by looking at their faces.
It's no wonder they call him...
not only Director Do, but as Director Mind-Reader too.
Director Do. Guys, come over here for a second.
Good job. They'll be on the show today.
Starting from here, this is Seul Gi...
Seul Gi, Ji Wook, Gyu Min, Woo Young, Hyun Ah,
Jun Hui, Moon Ho, Hyun Soo, Se Young, and Da Young.
Gosh, you know all our names.
We'll start the opening rehearsal.
Now that Director Do is here, he should come up on stage.
Sir, you should go.
How did the company owner's son become so quick-witted?
I mean, why would he even have to care about what others think?
My goodness.
He's totally camouflaged to the background.
What are we going to do?
The Video Team just left for another event.
What?
Is there anyone in the PR Team who knows how to adjust videos?
The reporters will be here in five minutes!
Don't you think Director Do is being way too calm?
If I were him, I'd get really nervous.
Why would he get nervous?
The person who's nervous right now is probably someone else.
Code blue!
Are you talking about Jung Gal Hui?
Don't call her by her name. She's called Minion.
No one in our company calls her by her name.
I'm sure she's busy doing stuff for the director even in this moment.
Do you know why she only wears platform shoes?
Her boss calls her every 10 minutes.
And if she wears heels, she can't run fast enough.
And don't get me started on the huge bag she carries around.
Razors, socks, an umbrella, and slippers.
She carries around everything her boss might ask for.
I don't know if this is true or not.
But I heard she even went to his civil defense training for him.
My name is Do Min Ik.
(Health Promotion Center)
I heard she even took a urinalysis on his behalf.
In other words, if she was born during the Age of Discovery,
she would've been working on a sugar plantation.
And if she was born during the Joseon Dynasty,
she would've been born a slave.
She's here. I hear her footsteps.
I'm sorry, you guys. My boss is looking for me.
I heard you even come to work during the weekend to feed his fish.
Yes, I'm grateful that he trusts me with stuff like that.
I heard you even drive for him because his driver quit.
I'm grateful that he trusts me with his life.
Us, secretaries are being referred to as minions...
because you keep doing everything you're asked to do.
I'm sorry to say this, Se Young.
But you can take care of your own dignity.
I buried my dignity along with my mom's ashes.
So it never got to see any light after the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
He pays me the most among all the people I've worked for.
And I'll do anything to get paid that much.
So will you please let me go?
I hate making my boss wait.
Doesn't Director Do fire his secretaries after a year?
- Really? - Why?
Jung Gal Hui's been working for him for almost a year now.
Secretary Jung.
Yes, Director Do.
You're late.
Yes, that's because if you want to change your suit,
you need to change your tie.
And if you change your tie, you need to wear different shoes.
Why do I need to go through all this?
I checked two times...
with the Video Team that they'll be using...
a yellow background.
But you didn't check three times.
I was busy buying a gift for your mother.
You weren't even prepared for this?
I mean, why do all the suits in your size...
need to be out of stock on a day like today?
And you had no countermeasures?
I'm sorry, sir. It was my mistake.
And instead of adding the contents on TV,
I think it'd be better to add them in mobile phones...
since you said you're also going to add movies to the service.
Shoes.
Okay.
You can use my head to keep balance.
I will now introduce to you Director Do of TnT Mobile.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage...
Director Do Min Ik of TnT Mobile.
(Director Do Min Ik)
Hello, everyone.
I'm Do Min Ik of TnT Mobile.
TnT Mobile started out...
by producing our own contents for children.
But instead of stopping there,
we will continue to produce our own contents...
so we can overcome the limits of IPTV.
Therefore...
(Mobile Phones over TVs, Mobile Phones Instead of Movies)
- "Mobile Phones over TVs". - Mobile Phones over TVs.
- "Mobile Phones Instead of Movies". - Mobile Phones Instead of Movies.
In order not to devalue our slogan,
we will continue to do our best to provide...
- high quality contents. - Maybe I should've put a pause.
TnT Mobile is...
It's excellent.
Director Gi.
Why aren't you on stage?
He's doing great on his own.
But you worked on it together.
Min Ik never wears coats...
because he always comes to work and goes home...
straight from the basement parking lot.
That's right.
You can't wear a coat either...
because your boss doesn't wear a coat.
But it's too cold not to wear a coat.
And that's why you always wear that.
That red cardigan is for both outdoors and indoors.
Director Gi, you just saw right through me.
How did you know that?
Before Min Ik got himself a secretary,
he used to call my name instead of yours.
I once even slept with my shoes on back when we were students,
so I could run over to him when he called my name.
I even once drew my eyebrows before going to sleep.
Oh, gosh. I'm sorry.
But...
don't try too hard.
Always being at his beck and call...
doesn't guarantee acknowledgment.
Please look forward to what we have to offer...
through our IPTV service.
Thank you.
(One moment of patience may ward off great disaster)
You're wrong, Mom.
I still believe that patience and hard work...
will get me acknowledged.
- Right? - Hey.
It's here.
It's the admission letter that Nam Hui would receive...
if she got into Pennsylvania University.
Really?
What does it say? Did she get in?
Do they want her over there?
"Dongboseong, famous for its spicy jjajangmyeon."
"Trade 30 coupons for a free dish of yangjangpi."
Where's the bus to Crazy Land?
I'd go there myself...
if I can finally get you to see.
What's so bad about it though?
It's not like we can afford her tuition.
I'll make it work no matter what. That school...
is the one Boss graduated.
I'm going to make sure Nam Hui walk the path my boss did.
Instead of being stuck backstage like me,
she'll spread her wings and be in the spotlight.
Who'll pay for it though?
(Human Resources)
Human Resources...
already sent your renewal contract to Director Do.
Is that so?
You know though, right?
He never keeps the same secretary for more than a year.
Right.
Hold on. There was an exception.
Really? Who was it?
I think it was his first secretary.
She worked for him for 3 years from 2013.
Isn't this Director Do's handwriting?
(Requesting parlay into full-time position)
Yes, it is.
He tried to get her a permanent position.
That means I have a shot too.
It's Romi, the licking dog...
and super innocent Ah Young.
I guess I'll be kept up all night.
What's that?
It's the announcement for the sports event.
I have one for your team too.
(TnT Mobile 43rd Sports Event)
- You can't make it, right? - I won't.
I wouldn't compete in this thing just to win a mere rice cooker.
Why is she cutting across the grounds like that?
Who?
Secretary Jung.
She's down there?
She's by the banner surrounded by kids...
not being able to move.
Do you have good vision or can you just focus well?
How can you recognize her in that crowd?
How can you not when she's been looking like that for a year?
I feel like I'll still hear her voice if I ever go deaf...
and recognize her even if I ever go blind.
Then renew her contract.
No one knows you better than she does.
You know very well...
what the secretary who knew me the best...
did to me.
Human Resources...
already sent your renewal contract to Director Do.
Director Do, is that...
a document you received?
Yes, I was given this.
We'll forget about it though.
What?
You should take the time...
to recharge your energy.
No, that's not necessary.
I don't need a break.
You don't want a break?
No.
No matter how hard the work is, I'd still rather work here.
If you let me, I'll do my best...
to serve you any way I can.
I'll learn 100 from a single lesson...
and learn a million from 2 lessons.
I'll run and run...
until my tongue turns white and my armpits are sweaty.
What...
There's...
no need to be this passionate about it.
Well, if that's what you desperately want,
I'll think about it.
Thank you. Thank you, Director. Do.
- You're dismissed. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Please enjoy your meal. Thank you!
He said he'd think about it.
What did his former secretary do...
to have him put in a request for a full-time job?
It was the deepest cry of desperation I've seen in 10 years.
Why is she obsessed over a sports event?
Director Do has arrived.
Director Do!
I'm sorry. Are you all right?
Blood...
- I'm terribly sorry. - Blood...
Should I buy some ointment?
- Taxi! - Where are you going?
Taxi!
Why am I ruining my chances?
Where is he going though?
Please take a look at me.
My head doesn't feel right.
- 2 times 8. - 16.
- 8 times 7. - 56.
- It's 54. - No, 56!
You're fine.
Gosh, please check me out.
It wasn't just a soft little bang. It was hard!
I hit my head really hard.
Darn it.
The surgery took place over 20 years ago.
You're the one who told me to be careful.
You said to avoid crowded places,
so I've never gone shopping before.
I'm never to be out of breath, so I don't run.
I'm so worried about hurting myself...
that I haven't participated in any sports events.
That means you can take 100 of these, so come back to me...
when you actually injure yourself.
- You're serious, right? - Stop pestering me and go.
- You sure? - Leave.
- Are you sure? - Leave.
- You sure? - Leave!
It's me.
(I'm sorry for alarming you. Please drink this before bed!)
I'm sorry for alarming you.
Please drink this before bed!
This was unnecessary.
(Personal Contract)
Jung Gal Hui...
(I'm sorry for alarming you. Please drink this before bed!)
(Personal Contract)
(TnT Mobile, Secretary interview)
(Director Ju Dong Min)
(Director Do Min Ik)
All right. Could you introduce yourself please?
Yes.
My mother named me Jung Gal Hui,
hoping I can become a classy and neat person.
Take the meat out of the freezer for the soup.
I'll do the rest when I'm back, so don't touch anything else.
And don't skip class, top student.
Do you really have to attend the sports event...
on the anniversary of our mother's death?
A renewal of the contract is on the line.
I want to show my loyalty to my boss for one last time.
Don't skip class.
Flame...
shot!
Nice, sir!
We're in their team only when they need us.
When they don't, secretaries are never included.
No one is asking us to join.
It happens all the time.
The labor union won't let us join either...
because we're outsourced workers.
And whenever there's a rumor,
the executives suspect the secretaries first.
If you want to badmouth your boss, do it after you die.
- Hello, Ms. Eul Wang Lee. - Hello, Ms. Eul Wang Lee.
Could you please not call me Eul Wang Lee in front of people?
Okay. Ms. Lee Eul Wang.
- One more time! - One more time!
What are you doing?
I'm going to play the game, "Piggyback Ride with Your Boss".
- You're carrying the director? - Yes.
Hey, Director Mind-Reader is not coming.
He's not?
Including last year and the year before, he has never come.
He's here.
- Let's go! - Let's go!
He's coming here.
- Go! - Let's go!
- Run, run! - Run, run!
Are you really Do Min Ik, in person?
- Yes! - Let's do it!
It's hot, crowded,
and full of danger here.
You could bump into someone, fall, or get hurt. And yet you're here?
I know.
Why do I want to do this of all things?
- Don't quit! - Let's go!
- Yes! - Let's go!
- Go, go! - Good job!
You're here, sir.
I am here. Because of you.
I thought about it. And...
Now, let's start the piggyback game...
to test how intimate you are with your boss!
The participants may now carry your partner on your back...
Hop on.
Pardon?
How could I hop on you?
Just hop on.
But...
You wanted to do this so badly?
I did?
Ready!
Jung Gal Hui! Jung Gal Hui!
Do Min Ik?
Is he...
running now?
Come on.
Sir, I'm almost getting it.
There you go.
- I got it. - Good.
Director Do Min Ik from Media One and Secretary Jung Gal Hui wins!
Director Do!
Sir! We won first place!
Yes!
We won first place!
We won first place.
Are you happy now?
What?
I give the best salary at the beginning...
and at the end,
I give the best present.
That's the way I do it.
It has been great working with you.
Today's winner is Management Support Department.
Congratulations.
A 50-dollar gift voucher will be given to each member of the team.
Lastly, we're going to draw a lucky person.
You said you would think about it.
You said you would think about it because I wanted it so badly.
I did? When?
Well, if that's what you desperately want,
I'll think about it.
Did you think that was...
Are you smiling while firing me?
It was a one-year contract in the first place.
It means I'm not going to see you for more than a year.
It could mean that you'll continue to see me after a year.
It looks like you haven't heard the rumor...
that I change my secretary every year.
I heard about it, but I thought it might not be true.
Why did you expect that?
There was a secretary who worked for three years.
And you even tried to promote her to a permanent worker.
You...
How much do you know about me?
So I...
I thought I could be like her if I worked hard enough.
Anyone can do this job.
It doesn't have to be you.
Sir.
Don't blame me for your expectations.
Expectations are...
nothing but a false hope.
But this is the only thing I can do.
You're the one that does the assessment...
and you're the one that renews the contract.
All I can do is to hope.
Others belittled me, calling me "Minion",
but I wanted to help you.
Your needs were my priority.
I skipped meals, but feed your fish properly.
I skipped the anniversary of my mother's death,
but shopped a birthday present for your mother.
My bag is full of your things.
My scheduler is full of your schedules.
And...
And I'm not allowed to have hopes?
Who will be the last lucky person?
Who is going to win...
the amazing multifunctional rice cooker?
Secretary Jung Gal Hui from Media One! Congratulations!
Congratulations!
I want it!
Congratulations.
(Grand Prize)
Delicious rice is ready.
The steam will be released.
Please stir the rice well.
Your rice is ready.
I hate that rice cooker!
No matter how hard the work is, I'd still rather work here.
If you let me, I'll do my best...
to serve you any way I can.
I counted my chickens before they were hatched.
I digested the rice before it was cooked. Gosh!
What should I do with my life?
I don't see anything ahead.
- You too? - What?
Is that why you didn't go to work?
What?
Well...
Yes, Sir.
I heard you were fired, and it looks like it's true.
Come to the office later.
We should have a farewell party with all the other secretaries.
You want me to take a day off today...
and come tomorrow?
Okay, Sir.
Let me see.
Romi and Ah Yeong.
(Item)
"Item"?
(Item)
(The online advertising market size in 2019 is 4.7 billion dollars.)
Excellent.
Excuse me?
Director Do.
He always does excellent jobs, which makes me feel jealous.
I know.
The exclusive contract on dramas...
and the children's content he launched is well received too.
That's why people say Media Two should be...
half as good as Media One...
I'm sorry.
You don't have to be sorry.
I know how competent Min Ik is.
I'm sure Media Two will make an achievement soon.
I hope so.
By the way...
You don't have to use honorifics to me when we're alone.
Eul Wang.
(President Sim Hae Yong)
Hello.
Director Gi!
I thought you were alone.
He's the rising star of our company.
Director Gi Dae Ju. I'm sure you all know him.
Of course I do. He's become the inside director recently.
By the way,
isn't he Director Do's good friend?
Come on. President Sim called him here.
I'm sure he will take care of it.
Come on in. Have a seat.
Come in.
This meeting is going to decide everything.
You know President Sim will be reappointed, right?
Of course I do.
But Director Do is too outstanding these days.
Why would you talk about work so much over such great food?
Enough.
Let's let Director Gi eat.
Director Gi.
Try this.
Once you taste the head,
you can never eat the tail.
Why?
The head tastes...
very sweet.
(A Proposal for Cooperation with JYGP)
Where was it?
Oh, right. Dae Ju.
(Civil defense training)
(Book a flight to Tokyo for a business trip.)
(Take the director's shirt to the laundry. Needed on the 10th!)
(A council meeting. Call the director an hour earlier.)
(Have the director's shoes shined.)
(Feed the fish.)
My bag is full of your things.
My scheduler is full of your schedules.
Gal Hui, Director Mind-Reader is going home now.
Where has he gone?
Maybe he's away for a second.
Where could it be?
Gosh, I told him it was confidential.
You were not just a jacket. You were my skin.
Thank you very much for everything.
Look at all the lint.
Let's go home.
Min Ik.
Hey, wifey.
What?
What? I thought he went home.
You want to go There?
No, I can't. I have a PR shoot tomorrow.
Actually, I'll just go.
See you There.
"There"?
(One moment of patience may ward off great disaster)
Why do I see that motto everywhere I go?
(Drivers' Waiting Room)
Why isn't anyone coming? They should be here by now.
It's okay.
They're probably glad that the Minion of TnT Mobile...
is finally leaving.
Gosh, the line at the jokbal place was so long.
Myung Jung.
Ri Ra.
Se Young.
I forbid you to feel touched or show any tears.
I'm only here because Ms. Eul Wang will be here.
Let's eat.
(Boat There)
Gosh, what's taking him so long?
Sir, I'd like to change the destination.
Just kill him!
How could he laugh while firing you?
He laughed?
I wouldn't have stood still if I were you.
That darn psychopath.
You should've killed him. You shouldn't have stood still!
Why are you causing a fuss? I'm the one who got fired.
Let's go!
I'll go to that darn jerk...
and crack his head open.
Let's go.
Let's go! Let's do that!
Let's go kill that jerk!
Will you guys please stop?
If I were to kill people just because they upset me...
and because I hate them,
I would've already killed half of the world's entire population.
Why do you think...
I held in my anger...
again and again...
and again?
Because of that.
(One moment of patience may ward off great disaster)
It's sad to admit it, but...
that was our family motto.
Our family members...
and everyone else who need to live their entire lives as the weak...
need to bow down, kneel, and suppress our feelings...
in order to survive.
My mom wanted to tell me something at the brink of her death.
And that was probably...
(One moment of patience may ward off great disaster)
(ward off)
One moment of patience...
"Bring a great..."
(One moment of patience may bring a great disaster)
"Disaster"?
Mom.
What did you want to say after "one moment of patience"?
I'm an idiot.
This was it.
I can't believe I never knew this.
Darn it.
- Let's go! - Where?
To kill that jerk.
Are we going?
Are we really going?
Are you watching me, Mom?
I'll follow your will...
and kill that jerk tonight!
- Let's go! - Let's go!
Let's go!
You're here.
Well...
Excuse me.
Who are you?
I think you're at the wrong place.
This is a private boat.
What?
Who are you?
What are you...
What the... You jerk.
Aren't you guys a little cold?
Are you also cold?
I think I also have an upset stomach.
What are you saying? We came all the way here.
I need to make a reservation at a golf club tomorrow at dawn.
My mom bought sundae and wants me to come home.
You traitors.
Just go! Go!
You should go too. What are you going to do all by yourself?
No, I'm not going to go. I can't go!
I'm going to fulfill my mom's will no matter what.
I'm going to kill that jerk!
Give me that.
Do you think she'll be okay?
I don't know.
Where are we?
Hey, call a cab.
- Gosh, it's freezing. - Goodness.
- It's so cold. - My gosh.
Who are you?
That's a knife... Are you...
going to kill me with that?
Secretary Jung!
Yes, Director Do.
Gosh, I can't believe myself.
I can't believe I'm even hearing stuff now.
Yes, let's kill him.
I need to kill him to stop hearing his voice in my head...
- Secretary Jung! - Yes, Director Do.
What?
- Help! - Is this for real?
Secretary Jung, help!
Help me!
Director Do?
Don't kill me. I'm sorry.
- Are you all right? - Don't come any closer.
He...
He looks familiar.
What?
I mean...
Mom, you're angry.
What did you want for your birthday again?
What if...
A boat.
We'll know when he wakes up.
Will he be all right?
Min Ik, how do you feel?
Who are you?
What do you mean? It's me, Dr. Gu.
You have the wrong person.
Gosh, it hurts.
Sangmo Hospital?
There's a Dr. Gu Seok Chan here, right?
Please call him for me.
(Gu Seok Chan)
Wait.
Where did the other guy go...
and why are you wearing Dr. Gu's gown?
Do you not recognize me?
Hey!
People call me mind reader...
because I read through them just by looking at their faces.
Why would I not recognize Dr. Gu who I've known for 20 years?
- 9 times 9. - 81.
- 4 times 7. - 28.
That's how Dr. Gu tests me.
Min Ik,
who do I look like...
in your eyes?
What do you guys take me for?
Unbelievable.
I'm the one who saved him.
I did the saving, not the stabbing!
We already have witness statements.
You mentioned your mother's will...
and threatened to kill him.
What?
Unbelievable.
Just how nutty is this woman?
I see a man, of course!
Do you think that I'm blind or something?
This must be a dream.
Yes, of course it is.
Since that's the case, I'll go back to sleep.
Sleep will fix everything.
What?
That hurt.
Then is this for real?
I think I should get going.
I have business to take care of.
All these faces are making me...
- You can't. - Let go!
Min Ik!
From domestic to international borders,
an emergency warning was widely announced.
The fine dust mixed with thick fogs has been causing a blurry vision...
throughout the whole city of Seoul,
allowing only a short-distance range of view.
Starting last weekend in Beijing, China...
What on earth...
Fusiform gyrus.
There must be an issue with his facial recognition.
All these people...
Doctor, please help me.
I...
The faces keep changing.
Do you have dementia too?
I must get out of here.
I must.
I feel like I'll still hear her voice if I ever go deaf...
and recognize her even if I ever go blind.
Secretary Jung.
You made a full recovery while I was suspected for murder?
I don't care what happens this time.
There's no way I'm saving you again!
Darn it!
Secretary Jung.
Help...
Save me, please.
What?
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
From now on, you'll always be by my side.
Why did you come back for me?
Why are you rehiring me after firing me?
Don't get your hopes up.
Who do you think you are?
Jung Gal Hui. You're the only one I see.
Did you decide to finally change your mind?
