(Certificate)
During her childhood, her family motto was...
"Three moments of patience may even prevent murder."
Thumbs up!
- Thumbs up! - Thumbs up!
She thought the motto was perfect.
She didn't know until then...
that her mother...
ended up dying, after repressing her anger too much.
Gal Hee.
Our family...
motto.
Don't worry. I'll keep it.
Get rid of it.
What did you say?
Now that I'm about to die,
I understand.
Three moments...
- of patience... - Go on.
- Three moments of patience... - What about it?
In the end,
- the 19-year-old Jeong Gal Hee... - Mom.
- couldn't hear her mom's last word. - Mom.
- You can't go like this. - Mom...
three moments of patience.
What in the world happens after three moments of patience?
- Mom... - And after 10 years,
she happens to hear the answer...
to her mom's last word.
(Three Moments of Patients May Even Prevent Murder)
(What happens after three moments of patients?)
(10 years later)
They're pretty.
But you see,
I think it's a bit too cheap...
to pay with this credit card.
- Show me some other rings. - Sure.
I wonder...
if it's started by now.
Where is he hiding?
He may be competent,
but he's still just a baby.
We can't give him the authority just yet.
Don't you agree, Mr. Shim?
His eyes are wide open.
His nostrils are flaring.
Director Kim may talk that talk,
but I know he'll be up for it.
I told you not to talk about the reappointment when I'm around.
The two things I hate the most are gang fights and family fights.
(CEO Shim Hae Yong)
There comes Min Ik.
"I'll keep the presidency the next term as well."
"It's mine."
That's my uncle.
He makes it so obvious.
Hello, Chief Director Do.
We've had an increase in new members by eight percent last year.
When you launched the IPTV service,
no one expected that mobile users would join the membership...
just to watch it.
You know I'm that competent.
But why...
are you supporting my uncle?
What, me?
You were late with the smile.
Don't tell me...
you have another intention in mind.
What are you talking about?
I got it right again.
You see,
you can vote for my uncle.
- The two of you here... - Min Ik.
Including him, it's the three of you.
I have three on my side.
The rehearsal is almost over.
You know I hate crowded places.
I'll let you...
keep talking behind my back.
Please excuse me.
I feel being read whenever I run into him.
Just once look is enough for him to remember someone all his life.
They say he sees through them just by looking at their look.
He's like a mind reader.
That's why people call him Mr. Mind Reader.
Hello, Mr. Do.
Guys, gather up for a second.
They're the cast for today. From here,
Seul Gi...
Seul Gi, Ji Woo, Kyu Min, Woo Young, Hyun Ah,
Joon, Yoon Woo, Hyun Soo, Se Young,
and Da Young.
Awesome!
You know all our names.
Let's start the opening rehearsal.
Director Do,
- please come up the stage. - Sir, go ahead.
I wonder what made the T&T Mobile owner's son so quick-witted.
I mean, there's no need for him to mind others' business.
Wow.
Where did he go?
What do we do?
The Video Team left for the event in Busan a while ago.
What's going on?
Does anyone in the PR Team know how to use the video source?
The reporters to enter the hall in five minutes.
Look at Director Do.
Why is he so calm?
If it were me,
I'd be so anxious.
Why would he get anxious?
He wouldn't be the one to get all nervous.
Code blue!
Do you mean, Jeong Gal Hee?
Her name should rather be Lackey.
No one in the company calls her by her name.
I'm sure she's running her boss' errands somewhere right now.
Do you know why she wears flat-heel shoes all the time?
Her boss calls her once every 10 minutes.
She can't be there quickly enough if she wears high heels.
Not to mention that diaper bag she carries around with her.
A razor, socks, an umbrella and slippers.
She carries all kinds of items, which her boss might ask for.
I'm not sure if it's a rumor or a fact,
but she's said to have gone to civil defense training on Mr. Do's behalf.
I'm Do Min Ik.
I heard she had his urine examination done too.
In short, if she had been born in the Age of Exploration,
she would've worked at a sugar cane farm.
She would've been a slave if she were in the Joseon Dynasty.
She's here.
Can you hear these big footsteps?
Let's skip the greetings. I need to go see Mr. Do.
Hey.
I hear you come to work even on the weekends to feed his fish.
Right.
Thinking that's part of my job.
You drive for him because his chauffeur quit.
Right, he leaves...
his life up to me.
Because of that undignified behavior of yours,
all the other secretaries are called lackeys too.
I'm sorry,
but you can do the dignifying part all you want.
I buried my dignity with my mom's ashes.
It's never seen the world ever since the South Africa FIFA World Cup.
Among all the bosses I've served, he pays me the most.
And I'm willing to do anything for my salary.
So please let me go.
I'd hate to make my boss wait.
Mr. Do changes secretaries once every year.
- Really? - Why?
She's worked almost a year too.
Ms. Jeong.
Yes, sir.
You're late.
A new suit,
a new tie.
A new tie,
a new pair of shoes. That's why.
Why am I going through all this trouble?
The video team...
clearly said...
the background would be in yellow.
I checked it twice.
But you didn't check three times.
Since morning,
I was busy buying your mother's birthday gifts.
So you weren't prepared for this kind of emergency.
Well...
unfortunately,
all the products your size were sold out.
You didn't have any backup plan.
I apologize.
It's my mistake.
And...
I think you better add...
"Mobile over Movie" after "Mobile over TV"...
since you mentioned you'd expand the content to movies.
The shoes too.
Okay.
Here, lean on my head.
Please welcome Chief Director Do Min Ik of T&T Mobile.
Ladies and gentlemen.
Please welcome Chief Director Do Min Ik of T&T Mobile on stage.
Hello.
I'm Do Min Ik of T&T Mobile.
T&T Mobile...
plans to overcome...
the limits of IPTV...
by independently producing various kinds of content...
starting with children's programs.
Thus...
- "Mobile over TV," - "Mobile over TV,"
- "Mobile over Movie." - "Mobile over Movie."
We'll provide high-quality service...
not to be a disgrace to our slogan.
I should've suggested him to pause there.
T&T Mobile...
It's great enough.
Director Gi.
Why are you here? You should be there on stage.
He can do well alone.
Even so,
you prepared this with him.
Min Ik never wears a coat...
because he always gets off from the underground parking lot.
Since he doesn't wear any coat, it'd be awkward for you to wear one.
But it's still too cold not to wear any.
Isn't that why you always wear that cardigan?
It's suited for both outdoors and indoors.
I mean that red cardigan.
Director Gi.
Did you read my mind?
How did you know?
Until Min Ik got himself a new secretary,
he used to call, "Dae Ju" all the time...
instead of "Ms. Jeong!"
I even slept with my shoes on back when we studied at Wharton...
so I could arrive quickly when he called for me.
I once slept with my eyebrow makeup on.
Well.
Sorry.
By the way,
don't work too hard.
Just because you hold on, lower yourself, and work hard...
doesn't mean you'll get compensated for sure.
Please look forward...
to seeing our great performance...
in the IPTV market this year.
Thank you.
(Three moments of patience may even prevent murder.)
It isn't true, right Mom?
I still think...
someone will one day recognize it...
if I hold up patiently and work hard.
- Don't you agree? - Hey.
It's here.
It's for Nam Hee...
from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
An admission letter or whatever that is.
Really?
What does it say?
Did she get accepted?
Do they want her to come right away?
"Specializing in fiery jjajangmyeon, Donbosung".
They give yangjangpi free with 30 coupons.
Tell me. How do I get to Indangsoo?
I'll throw myself in the water or something...
to make you see again.
It'll be nice to have her fail.
We won't be able to send her there...
even if she gets accepted anyway.
We'll send her no matter what.
My boss graduated from that school.
I'll make sure...
Nam Hee lives a life like his.
Not a life behind the stage.
A life on stage in the spotlight.
As if we can afford it.
They said they turned in the renewal papers to Director Do.
Really?
You know, right?
He never keeps the same secretary for more than a year.
Right.
(Employment Contract)
Wait.
There was an exception.
Really? Who?
I think it's his first secretary.
She worked for three years...
since 2013.
Isn't this Director Do's writing?
(Appoint her as a regular employee.)
That's right.
He even tried to appoint her as a regular employee.
It means it's not impossible.
The one who licks.
And the feminine one.
Tonight is going to be hot.
What's that?
The notice for our sports day.
I have one for your team too.
(The 43rd Sports Day of T&T Mobile)
You can't go, can you?
I won't go.
I'm not an idiot who goes there on a weekend for a free rice cooker.
(Happy Children's Day!)
Why would she choose to go that way instead of taking a detour?
- Who? - Ms. Jeong.
Where is she?
She's surrounded by those children down there.
She looks confused.
Is it your eye sight or concentration that's good?
I mean,
how did you recognize her in that crowd?
How can I not recognize her? She's been like that all year long.
I might hear her voice even if I go deaf.
I might recognize her...
even if I go blind.
Why don't you renew the contract then?
No one knows you...
better than she does.
You know...
what the secretary that knew me the most...
did to me.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E01 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Renew My Contract" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
They said they turned in...
the renewal papers to Director Do.
Director Do, is that...
Did you get the papers?
This?
Yes, I did.
Let's just take a break.
What?
You should take some time...
to recharge in a while.
No.
I don't want to rest at all.
You don't want to?
No.
They may mistreat me sometimes,
but I still like this company.
If you keep me,
I'll dedicate myself to you.
Teach me one thing, and I'll understand 100.
Teach me two things, and I'll understand a million and 22 things.
Until my mouth stinks...
and my armpits melt, I'll work my hardest!
You really don't have to...
be this desperate about it.
If that's what you want,
I'll give it some thought.
Thank you.
Thank you, sir.
- You're excused. - Okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
Enjoy your food. Thank you.
So he's going to give it some thought.
What did that secretary do to be offered a regular employee?
Among all the people I saw in the last 10 years,
she was the most desperate.
Why is she so obsessed with the sports day?
Director Do is here.
- Mr. Do! - Goodness!
I'm sorry. Are you okay?
I'm bleeding.
- I'm sorry. - I'm bleeding.
I'll go buy some ointment or something.
- Taxi. - Where are you going?
Taxi!
Why did I have to cause trouble at this time?
Where on earth is he going by the way?
I need you to take a look.
I think there's a problem with my head.
What's two times eight?
- 16. - Eight times seven equals?
- 56. - It's 54.
- It's 56. - You're fine then.
Come on. Have me examined.
It wasn't just a bump.
It was a super bump with a huge sound.
I mean,
it's been 20 years since you had surgery.
You're the one who told me to be careful all the time.
I never go shopping alone...
because you told me to avoid crowded places.
I never run because you told me I shouldn't run out of breath.
Being scared of tripping, falling, or getting hurt,
I haven't gone to a sports event.
You'll be fine even after getting flicked 100 times.
Come see me when you fall off somewhere.
- You mean it? - Yes.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
- Sure? - Yes.
- Are you really sure? - Yes!
I'm here.
(I'm sorry for shocking you. Take this before you go to bed.)
I'm sorry for shocking you.
Take this before you go to bed.
How unnecessary.

Jeong Gal Hee.
(Employee Contract)
(Director Do Min Ik)
Please introduce yourself.
Okay.
My mother named me Jeong Gal Hee...
so I could live a neat life with dignity.
Take the meat out from the freezer.
I'm going to make the soup when I come home.
Don't skip academy, A-student.
Do you have to go to that sports day...
- on the day of mom's death? - I'm awaiting my contract renewal.
He said he'd think about it.
I'm going to show him my last bit of loyalty.
Take this!
Nice shot, sir.
They say we're the same team when they need us.
They don't care a thing about us when they don't.
No one wants us to join them.
As if that's new.
Dispatched employees aren't allowed to join the labor union either.
Executives suspect us secretaries first whenever there's a rumor.
If you want to badmouth the boss, do it after you die.
- Hello, Ms. Eul Wang. - Hello, Ms. Eul Wang.
Can you stop that when people are around?
Sure thing, Ms. Lee Eul Wang.
What are you doing?
I'm going to participate in that game.
The piggyback ride with your superior.
Are you going to give Mr. Do a piggyback ride?
Yes.
Come on. Mr. Mind Reader never comes to events like this.
No?
Not last year nor two years ago.
He's never come even once.
He's here.
He's coming this way.
- Run! - Run!
Are you really Do Min Ik?
The weather is hot.
It's crowded.
You might trip, bump, or get hurt.
It's full of danger, yet you're here?
I know.
Why would she want to do this...
of all things?
You're here, sir.
Yes, I'm here...
because of you.
I've given it some thought, and...
We're going to begin the piggyback ride...
to check how close our employees and their superiors really are.
If you have found your partner, give them a piggyback ride.
Get on my back.
What?
Well...
how can I dare...
I said, get on.
Did you want to do this game that badly?
I did?
Get ready!
Go, Gal Hee!
Min Ik?
Is he...
running right now?
Mr. Do, lift me higher.
- Come on. - There.
- I got it. - Let's go.
The winners are Director Do and Secretary Jeong!
We won, sir!
We won the game, Mr. Do!
We won!
Are you satisfied now?
What?
When I sign the contract, I offer the best salary,
and when I end it,
I give the best gift.
That's my rule.
Thank you for your hard work.
Today's winning team is...
the Management Support Team! Congratulations!
Each team member will be given a gift voucher worth 50,000 won.
We only have the lucky draw left.
You said you'd give it some thought.
You said you'd consider it if I wanted.
What?
When did I?
If that's what you want,
I'll give it some thought.
So that was...
You're firing me. How can you laugh right now?
It was a one-year contract from the beginning.
It means,
I won't see you after a year.
It also means, you might see me after a year.
Didn't you hear the rumor? I change my secretary every year.
I heard, but I thought it may not be true.
Why did you expect such a thing?
Because one of your secretaries worked for three years.
You even tried to make that person a regular employee too.
How much...
do you know about me?
So I thought...
I'd become like that person if I worked hard.
Anyone can do this job.
And it doesn't have to be you.
Mr. Do.
Please don't blame me for failing your expectations.
Expectations...
are nothing but empty hopes.
What if that's all I can do?
You do the evaluation.
You renew the contract.
So I'm left with only expectations.
Even when others...
looked down on me and called me Lackey,
I knew you needed me.
You wanted me.
I starved myself, but I never starved your fish.
I put more importance on your mother's birthday...
than my mom's death anniversary.
My bag is filled with your stuff.
My diary is filled with your schedule.
But...
am I still not allowed to have expectations?
Let's see who the last winner...
of the lucky draw is.
The best rice cooker with a steam function!
Who will win this rice cooker?
Secretary Jeong Gal Hee of Media Bureau 1! Congratulations!
Congratulations.
(1st Winner Prize)
(Episode 2 will air shortly.)
Kyo Kyo has completed cooking the rice.
Releasing steam now.
Please stir the rice.
Enjoy Kyo Kyo. Kyo Kyo.
That stupid rice cooker.
No matter how hard it may be,
I love this company.
If you keep me,
I'll dedicate myself to you.
Why did I count my chickens...
even before they are hatched?
My life.
I can't see a future.
- You, too? - What?
So, did you quit?
What?
I mean...
Hello, Director Do.
What?
I heard you were fired.
Is it true?
Come to the office later.
Let's have a farewell party together.
How about that?
How about I take today off...
and come in work tomorrow?
Okay, Director Do.
Let's see.
Romi and Ha Young.
(Item)
Item?
(2019 Digital Advertising Market Outlook )
He did a great job.
Excuse me?
Yes.
Director Do.
He's been doing great.
I get jealous of him.
I know.
He's made an exclusive deal and his children's show is popular.
That's why they're saying Media Bureau 2...
isn't doing nearly as well as Media Bureau 1...
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
I'm well aware of Min Ik's competence.
We're going to be showing good results too.
We should.
By the way,
you can talk casually when it's just us two.
Eul Wang.
(CEO Shim Hae Yong)
Hello.
Hey, Director Gi.
I thought you were alone.
The rising star in our company.
Chief Director, Gi Dae Ju.
Do you all know him?
Of course.
He just became a director.
But isn't he...
very close to Director Do?
I'm sure Mr. Shim called him here...
because he knows what he's doing.
Come on in. Have a seat.
Come on.
You know Mr. Shim is serving consecutive terms.
Of course, I do.
Mr. Do is really receiving a lot of attention these days.
Let's stop talking business in front of this good food.
Enough.
Let him enjoy this meal.
Director Gi,
try this.
Once you taste the head,
you won't want to eat to the tail.
Why?
The head...
is very sweet.

Where is he?
Is he off somewhere for a while?
Where's the USB?
I told him it was confidential.
You were...
a part of my skin.
Thanks for...
your hard work.
Come home with me.
Hey, Min Ik.
Hey, honey.
There?
She said he's off work.
Do you really want to go?
I can't. I have a PR shoot tomorrow.
Never mind.
I'm coming now. I'll see you there.
There?
(Three moments of patience...)
(may even prevent murder.)
(Waiting room)
Why aren't they here yet?
They should be here by now.
It's okay.
I was the official Lackey at T&T Mobile.
They're probably laughing at me now.
What a long line it was!

Don't get all emotional. No crying.
We heard Eul Wang was coming.
What's taking him so long?
I want to change my destination.
Let's kill him!
He was laughing as he was firing you!
Laughing!
If I were you, I would've done something.
He's such a psychopath.
You should've done something about it!
Why are you all worked up? I'm the one who was fired.
Let's go.
I...
I'm going to...
crack open...
that man's head.
- Let's go. - Let's go.
I'm in.
Let's go kill him!
Please calm down.
If I killed all the people...
that I didn't like,
I would have killed half the population already.
But do you know why...
I've been suppressing it...
and suppressing it...
and suppressing it?
That.
Sadly, that was...
my family's motto.
My family...
and people who live like us...
can only survive stooping,
obeying orders,
and suppressing our feelings.
The last word that my mom wanted to say...
would've probably been...

(Three moments...)
(of patience...)
(of patience...of patience...)
(may even...)
(murder.)

What on earth does it mean?
How stupid of me.
This was it.
How did I miss this?
Let's go.
Where?
To kill him.
Are we going?
Are we really going?
Are you watching, mom?
As you wish,
I'm going to kill him today.
Let's go.

Excuse me.
Who are you?
You must've been mistaken.
This is a private boat.
Hey.
Who are you?
Isn't it...
a little cold?
You too?

I'm not going.
I can't.

I have to kill him so that I don't hear things.
- Secretary Jeong! - Yes, Director Do.
What was it?
Help me.
- Secretary Jeong! - Is this real?

Help me.
I'm sorry.
- Are you okay? - Don't come any closer.

I think I've seen him before.
What?

What do you want for your birthday?
Maybe...

We should wait until he wakes up.
Is he going to be okay?

how are you feeling?
Who are you?
Who am I?
I'm Dr. Gu.

What happened to the other man?
Why are you wearing Dr. Gu's gown?

to you?
What do you take me for?
Seriously.
I'm the one who saved him.
The one who saved him, not killed him.
We already have witnesses.
You said something about your mom's will...
and said, "I will kill him."
Me?
You're unbelievable.
I can tell you're a person!
Are you saying I'm blind or what?
This is a dream. I'm dreaming.
Let me go back to sleep again.
I'll be okay after some sleep.
What is it?
It hurts!
Then is this real?

I should...
go now. I have an important shoot too.

constantly changing.
Do you also have dementia?
I should get out of here.

I think I would hear her.
Even if I were to go blind,

I can recognize her.
