This is to inform you that the companies, events, and characters in this drama are not relevant to reality.
You came out of the men's washroom. Did you see something good in there?
No. I went in by mist—
Oh no, what to do. What to do?
Whenever we meet, you have a tendency to kiss.
Ah, seriously.
If you were working with Unicon, you should have said something. If I knew you were in the industry, I wouldn't—
It was smudged.
How old are you?
I'm not a minor.
Who said you could speak informally to me?
We agreed to do it, but I guess you don't remember.
You've become famous since then. Are you okay?
Oh, I'm so sorry. I'll make sure to compensate you for the laundry bill.
What? Did she not like the music?
No. She says she'll give me money.
Episode 2
Ah... Hey. Episode 2
This and this.
- That's why I was saying— - Which one?
A cappuccino... and an orange...
- Orange juice. - Orange juice.
Please make your order yourself at the counter.
Oh, hello. Do you want an Americano?
Yes! With ice. Lots of ice!
Is there something wrong?
Why did I say 'How old are you'?
No, why would I ask that? I should be thankful if he's young.
I don't know what happened, but I'm glad it's not what I expected.
I'm just saying I'm happy to see you again even after you made that ruckus at the hearing.
Unicon is such a good company.
Thanks for the reality check.
Did the game meeting go well?
Yes... Well...
Go up to my office. I'll be there shortly.
A portal site must be the most progressive and participatory place.
No pressures can violate portal users' right to know or freedom of expression.
Portal sites must hold these rights to be of greatest importance and actively protect them.
Okay.
Please refer to this.
What is this?
Happy birthday.
You remember every year.
I'll congratulate you next year too, so don't worry and see if you like it.
A cigarette holder?
It's pretty.
Smoke a lot and hurry up and die so I can be promoted.
You really have a way with words.
Isn't that's why you like me?
I'll skip the reproach and get to verifying the facts since we have to prepare for what comes next.
Do you understand me?
Why is that important here?
The fact that you put on that show at the hearing means you were confident that the ID belonged to Joo Seung Tae.
Couldn't the ID revealed eleven years ago have been a typo?
- How could you be certain? - Don't worry,
I didn't access his personal information.
Are you sure?
I asked you for Joo Seung Tae's number, right?
Don't ask me why, but please obtain Joo Seung Tae's phone number for me. Yes.

- Look at this guy. - If it's those odds, we should attack.
You may have found evidence that he attempted to solicit prostitution, but there's no proof that he actually did it.
Should I have to find that proof as well? I pay so much in taxes.
Do you think this a personal matter for you?
This is about Unicon. If we were to get sued—
He is suing me because he attempted to solicit underage prostitution but he didn't actually do it?
That's not a choice that a politician could make.
Do you think you've become a hero?
You've damaged the company's reputation and treated the hearings with contempt.
Sunbae, you're the one that treated the hearings with contempt.
If I wanted to become a hero, I would've yelled out that Director Song Ga Gyeong manipulated real-time search words under the orders of the KU Group,
and even this hearing is a setup.
But I didn't do that. Why? Because I might get hurt.
To the company, I might just be a disposable human shield, but I am precious to myself.
The only person who can protect me is me,
and putting that show on was me taking my own side.
This strange company, that damned hearing, I didn't want to stand on anyone's side.
They say that being able to not do the things you don't want to do is power.
Why would you have it when I don't?
There will be a disciplinary hearing. Be ready.
Why am I being disciplined?
Do you think there isn't a reason? Check where the sparks have landed.
That's the 'internet' that you spoke of.
Jin
Why are you not picking up the phone?
That's my number. I didn't press call.
Why not?
Because that's your decision.
What are you going to save me as?
I know your name.
Heihachi [T/N: Heihachi _ a game character]
Then how much do you remember?
If you don't remember exchanging phone numbers, then you definitely don't remember agreeing to speak informally.
I'll give you the money for the laundry bill now. I was sorry earlier.
We didn't sleep together.
Why would you lie about that? We did sleep together.
So you do remember.
I was wondering if you wanted to pretend it didn't happen.
Why? Do you think that if I slept with you, I might kill myself or something?
Let's settle with this.
What is this? Money for sex?
It's for the laundry bill.
Not now, next time.
Take it, because there will be no next time.
That night, it was just a drunken mistake—
Who made a mistake? It wasn't a mistake for me.
I am not the type of person who makes that kind of mistake.
I... It was a mistake for me.
- Bad girl... Is it something like that? - What?
I was wondering if you do this kind of thing often, one night stands with anyone.
No, it's not like that.
It never should have happened. That's why I want to just die, seriously.
Why?
You liked me enough that something that never should have happened, happened, right?
So why do you want to die?
What are you?
What else? A man who received a kiss.
Wait, wait, wait! Back up, back up!
Hey—
- CEO, you're back. - Hello
CEO Kim, I told you to ventilate the place every two hours.
I was about to. It's been two hours now.
How did the meeting go?
What did Unicon say?
Do they not want the romantic music no matter what? Do they want to cancel it?
She said let's forget about it.
What do you mean forget it?
Did we fail again?
They said to go ahead as planned, that our way of thinking has logic.
Yes! Yes!
I knew we'd get it. I knew we'd get picked. Look at this guy's hard pecs.
I can't see, I can't see. Move over.
What is this? If you go to meetings, do things like that just happen?
Next time I will go.
It happens because it's me; because my pecs are hard.
Awesome!
Aigoo, I am not late right?
What is this? You don't usually come to debates.
I just don't want to be at the company, but I can't just dick around all day either. Let's go.
Are you here after understanding the debate topic?
When I can't even understand myself, how do you think I could understand the debate topic? I'll listen to it first.
It's about measures against illegal internet cafes.
I guess you can say it's a small ball that Bae Ta Mi shot.
Bae Ta Mi is also coming as a debater.
Today, I'm going to upset her.
Why?
I want to let her know exactly what's wrong with Unicon.
She may have slipped away from the hearing, but I can't let her slip away from this debate.
Should I even go to this?
Each portal site, regarding prostitution, gambling, etc.,
should generate a team to monitor and regulate illegal cafes.
As interest in the rules increases,
there have been requests to regulate portal sites via the law.
Barro: Min Hong Joo
If self-imposed control isn't conducted well,
in the worst case, legal regulations will also be discussed.
If it's at this level, we should install legal regulations.
Are you saying you want to put the internet under the governmental rule?
Manipulation of search queries, and even prostitution cafes,
if it's at this level, there's no reason to not have legal regulation.
It's already being done in Singapore.
In all countries, except Singapore, it is not being done.
The most important value of the internet is freedom,
and most countries agree with this value.
I guess Unicon is afraid of regulation.
There's a saying that there's nothing to be afraid of if you have nothing to hide.
The origins of that saying is Nazi Germany, General Manager Cha Hyeon.
Freedom that you can't take responsibility for is violence, General Manager Bae Ta Mi.
Lets say, for example, that someone posts "Cha Hyeon crazy bitch" on my house wall.
And let's say that due to those words, General Manager Cha Hyeon received emotional distress.
Does that mean that I should legally be responsible because I built that wall?
Portal sites provide space.
Portal sites are not responsible for what every user posts.
True, they cannot.
However, what did the house owner do after finding the scribble on the wall?
Did she erase it? Or did she prevent anyone else from scribbling on the wall?
So then are you suggesting that because she couldn't prevent such scribble, she should be legally regulated?
And if illegal internet cafes are only a problem for Unicon, why are you sitting here?
Barro does not have as many illegal cafes as Unicon does.
That's because Barro doesn't have as many subscribers as Unicon.
Let's be honest.
There are tens of thousands of subscribers to illegal cafes,
and there are over thousands of visits to those illegal cafes in a day, with over ten thousand page visits.
It's not that we can't regulate them, we don't.
Every day we get a report of Unicon vs. Barro's usage rankings delivered to our desk.
How can you give up 10,000 page views? Isn't this the case?
What we need is not legal regulation, but fair play.
It's entertaining to hear someone who just got taken to the hearing for search ranking manipulation talk about fair play.
You should get over your inferiority complex towards Unicon with your ratings, General Manager Cha Hyeon.
Do you think this is an inferiority complex?
I just feel embarrassed about being in the same industry as someone like you.
In that case, while you're feeling embarrassed, why don't you leave and fix issues with our portal satellites?
What are you so proud of when you win via begging and small tricks?
I'm not proud, but that doesn't mean I want to be in second place.
I dedicated my youth so that people can search for info on Unicon's corruption using Unicon.
Uh, excuse me.
Let's debate.
Not dissing, debate. We're here to debate.
To which room shall I bring you?
Angry as shit room -Danger-
Those words right now...
Yes. I'm asking if you wouldn't want to work with us at Barro.
I know this is sudden.
While we're talking about it, we can offer you a salary higher than you're getting right now.
Also if you have anyone you work well with, you can bring them over.
This all sounds so good.
Firstly, thank you for the offer.
However, I'm curious why it's me.
We are planning on putting together a service team,
but we need a different, new perspective.
We want an outsider who has a lot of experience who can tell us that these methods,
Barro has used for ten years, are wrong.
Also, I think you may also need a change of environment.
Isn't it uncomfortable being at Unicon after what happened at the hearing?
It is uncomfortable, and I'll be demoted soon, too.
However, Unicon was my twenties, thirties, and my youth.
When we first hit ten million users,
when we became first from second,
when we profited the first time, built a new building and moved in... I was there for all of it.
For thirteen years, I loved it and hated it crazily.
I can't express all of my feelings with words,
but despite the precarious situation I'm in, I want to be with Unicon.
I have a life there.
I see. I understand what you're saying.
Business should be business. Am I being too emotional?
No, no, it's good.
Unicon 10 year anniversary
Unicon 20 year anniversary
Unicon Bae Ta Mi
2006
Number 35, Bae Ta Mi, Unicon
With your resume, you could have gone to other companies.
Did you apply to other companies as well?
No. It may be presumptuous to mention, but this is my third round applying to Unicon only.
I didn't even apply to Barro.
Did I mention something unnecessary?
No, not at all. I'm curious why it must be Unicon.
The main page's design is pretty.
Is that all?
Yes. I believe the internet is about instances.
Whatever is pretty at first glance, whatever appears new at first glance,
whatever is convenient at first use—the internet generation do not think in complicated ways.
They only need one instance that attracts them.
I believe that all of Unicon's designs are designed for that one instance.
As a result, due to this one small instance, Unicon will win over Barro.
Thank you for noticing.
Unicon and I think alike.
I want to work in a place that thinks in a similar way as I do.
We will now start the disciplinary meeting.
Do you, Bae Ta Mi, General Manager of the Service Strategy Department, admit fault for
an internet cafe service, leading to societal unrest
over illegal cafes like the one used for prostitution, and hurting our reputation?
So that's being used this way?
Do you admit fault?
I thought I'd be punished over the incident at the hearing,
but now I think about it,
there's no basis for the company to punish me over that.
Then why are you punishing me?
Who are you punishing me for?
I will interpret answers unrelated to the question as an admission of fault.
General Manager Bae Ta Mi, for having broken company rule 12, negligent work,
and rule 15, general dereliction of duty, we are firing you.
Fired?
For not taking care of a cafe, I'm getting fired?
Don't you think it's better for the company's future? We're being considerate.
Considerate?
I dedicated my youth to a company who thinks firing someone is considerate.
Why did you all turn out this way?
Sunbae, is this right?
Your words used to always be right,
but at some point, your actions are all wrong.
There was a time when I respected you and wanted to be like you.
Then you should have become like me instead of getting fired.
No. Not anymore.
So freaking embarrassing. What Song Ga Gyeong?
I brought it just in case, but I didn't know I'd have to really use it.
Letter of Resignation
Beginning now, from this rotten company that holds hands with powerful people to manipulate and conceal public opinion,
and shifts blame to their employee to gain unfair profit,
I will resign by myself.
Go sit back in your chair.
Don't give me orders. I'm not your employee anymore.
And you, Director Song Ga Gyeong, process my resignation.
Letter of Resignation
How is it that your stamina improves with age, CEO Jang?
When we were hiking earlier,
I couldn't keep up anymore.
Congressman, I wanted to beat you once.
So I even quit drinking and smoking when I hadn't been able to quit for fifty years.
My husband's no longer with me, and I don't even smoke or drink anymore.
All I have to left live now for is to see you.
CEO Jang, if I knew
how great your personality is, we would have gone hiking together earlier.
I thought that CEO Jang was of the other color.
What do you mean 'color', when all of you are great people that work on behalf of the country?
Our Congressman Joo Seung Tae is also having a rough time lately, isn't he?
The Blue House must be upset that the ruling party has suffered a misfortune.
I'll have to hurry up and lift your spirits somehow.
- What's this? What's this? - Aigoo.
It's nothing much, can't you see?
It's red ginseng, red ginseng. If you were to take ill from age,
I couldn't go hiking by myself, I'd be bored.
We can't have that, we have to go together.
What about Bae Ta Mi? Did you take care of her?
We issued her termination.
Is there anything stronger than termination?
Because of that one crazy thing,
I had to go hiking with those idiots.
Even the termination was stretching the limit.
It was unprecedented to issue a termination based on negligent service management.
Hey, Ga Gyeong!
Do you have an ego?
So, it's loud at Unicon these days.
Are you alright?
If I was alright, why would I come here?
That's true. Noona, you must be so upset.
I guess I should show you some pretty thing.
We didn't have any faces after Min Gyu left, right?
Noona, are you in contact with Min Gyu?
Who's Min Gyu?
Han Min Gyu, the one that was under me.
He was even in a drama a while ago. He is very hot these days.
Why would I be in contact with him?
Right? After that guy left this field,
it seems like he cleaned things up over here.
He doesn't take my calls, that jerk.
That's him, the new guy.
Hello.
Isn't he a good size? Come in, come in.
Yes.
Wow, you're so pretty. I thought you must be in your twenties.
Do you think I came here to get your evaluation?
Hey, hey!
Noona isn't feeling well today so don't act out too much, huh?
Hurry up and pour her a drink.
Yes.
Noona doesn't take ice.
Ah, yes.
Again.
Ah, yes. I'm sorry.
Again.
Yes.
Again.
Again. Again.
You drink too.
Yes.
You need to drink what you threw away.
All of it?
Noona, why are you like this today? This is his first day.
If you're like this, he'll quit today.
I'm seriously experiencing the recession of hiring.
If you can't drink it with your mouth, drink it with your body.
That way, you'll learn not to evaluate the customers' bodies.
Wait. I'm unemployed starting today.
These damn habits.
I always wondered what the people doing this at this hour were doing.
I see they were just unemployed.
The Search Team finished updating the algorithm for related search terms.
Jenny wants to meet around 2:00 pm about modifying the café's main page.
Ask her to come at 2:30 pm.
- I have to go to the Video Team meeting at 3:00 pm. - Yes.
And... This is the market share ranking data for today.
1. Unicon 2. Barro
That damned second place.
How can you suddenly push me? I was standing on the 100th floor.
Oh, I thought I was really falling.
You did really fall. The market share rankings.
I saw it already. I am nominally the CEO.
No, Unicon's image is totally screwed but they're still in first place.
Can you understand this?
No, I can't understand.
Me neither. I think this is a rare opportunity for a reversal, Brian.
I think so too.
- So I'm thinking of making a TF Team. What do you think? (TF=Task Force)
A TF Team?
Scarlet, what do you think about recruiting external personnel?
Look at the state of this country.
At this rate, I'll drop dead.
I can't let that happen.
CEO Brian Min / Min Hong Joo
Wow, this place is amazing. It looks like a foreign house.
I lived this way in Germany, too. I find this comfortable.
You must have been surprised because I contacted you out of the blue, right?
I was surprised because it was 'I want to learn piano' and not 'Do you want to eat meat?'
I was already worried because a person I ate meat with,
suddenly appeared in a hearing.
Are... you okay?
I'm going to be okay.
I became unemployed, because of that incident.
But after living as an unemployed worker for the last few days,
I thought if I don't at least get a hobby, I might go crazy.
So that's why I contacted you. And I wanted to learn the piano, too.
But... If I can play the piano well,
could I play those piano apps on a tablet as well?
Well... You would need different skills for that.
But wouldn't you have to be able to play the piano first?
That's true.
There's a song that I really want to learn.
Could you play it for me first?
Are you okay?
This damned piano version.
I've realized that I've missed out on so many things because I was so busy with work.
Is it because I didn't vote that my pick was dropped?
That's right, Ms. National Producer.
There's no longer anything I can do for that child.
We should edit Garden of Dreams for easy listening.
Although it is also important to match the overall tone of the music,
I believe that maximizing the visual effects in entering a new map
will reduce fatigue in the game experience.
You're right. Then, please contact us once the composition is finished.
Yes, I understand.
Good work.
Excuse me, I didn't hear your name properly earlier.
I'm Director Song Ga Gyeong.
I'll remember you.
You worked hard.
By chance, General Manager Bae Ta Mi doesn't attend the meeting?
She said many nice things about it last time.
HR Notice
Reasons: Dereliction of duty, Negligence of duty.
General Manager of Service Strategy team, Bae Ta Mi: Fired
When work is too hard, I say I want to die, I want to die.
But if I'm even a little hurt, I run straight to the hospital.
Die my foot.
I want to live healthy.
When that happens, I type Western Australia into the search bar and look at pictures.
There are roads that go just straight,
there are stars that are annoyingly filling up the sky,
there are strange rocks, deserts and seas.
Well, those kind of things.
I lived in Australia when I was in high school.
Really?
But then I came back. I like Korea more.
Really?
Then you must be happy now.
Among my friends, there is one that's crazy about backpacking trips.
When I asked what she liked so much about it so she kept going, she told me she kept traveling to tell her secrets to someone.
Because people you see on your trips are people that you will never see again.
Since they are anonymous to each other, there is no point of trying to look good.
My secret, my shame.
My wrong doings, my weakness.
My pain.
She said she could tell all of them honestly.
You can be the most honest to strangers who know you the least.
I think I know a little what that is.
It's like us right now.
So right now, I have a secret I want to tell.
I wish that Sunbae Ga Gyeong wouldn't be like that.
I want to be close with Ga Gyeong again.
Heihachi
Hello?
Eat food.
Eat a lot.
Mr. Fish, do your job.
I am unemployed.
You're the one I talked with on the phone, right?
Your friend drank a lot.
She's not my friend.
I'm probably here as her guardian.
Bae Ta Mi... Bae Ta Mi!
Why are you here?
Did you follow me here?
Why did you follow me?
Was I so good that day?
Seriously. There is nothing that you can't say.
Come to your senses.
Why are you covering my mouth?
Does an unemployed person have no right to talk?
How much is this?
You have strength in your legs, right?
I'm using my strength. I'm walking properly, what's your problem?
But, we are we going? Are we going for a second round?
There's no second round. Where is your house?
Home? You are taking me home.
Who are you to take me home?
Are you close to me? Why do you pretend to be close to me?
It's love for humanity.
Why did you drink so much? Do you do this every day?
Hey... Park Morgan.
You remember my name, Bae Ta Mi.
I think we said not to get involved with each other again,
as being anonymous and strangers to each other.
Let's just pass by each other.
It's too late.
We know too much of each other to just pass by.
A relationship that only meets at nighttime knows no daytime. There's only nighttime.
See, it's nighttime again.
We look for each other when we are drunk and spend the night together.
When the sun rises, we separate without a word and wonder what our relationship is.
I'm no longer interested in those kinds of feelings like people in their twenties.
That kind of relationship makes people even lonelier.
I also have no interest in that kind of relationship.
So what is it that you want?
I won't get what I want, so perhaps, do you manage a fish tank? (T/N: Someone who flirts around)
♫ You're shining inside my head ♫
I want to be put into that fish tank.
You fed that fish well.
If you don't forget to give me bait, then I can endure it well.
I'm good at surviving.
♫ My heart is reaching out to you ♫
♫ I'm taking out my sincere heart ♫
You're cute. ♫ Should I give it to you? ♫
If I'm cute, you should keep me.
♫ I will become the lighthouse of the darkened sea brightly ♫
♫ In front of the approaching wind and rain ♫
Since I'm unemployed, I want to depend on you.
♫ Over the sea’s darkness stretching endlessly ♫
♫ I will make a galaxy between you and me ♫
♫ Through the blue, starry sea ♫
♫ Under the galaxy of stars falling endlessly ♫
♫ I will attach a name to one star between you and me ♫
♫ I’ll find one star which resembles each of us and send them to you ♫
♫ Under the starry sea which resembles you and me together ♫
♫ Through the blue starry sea ♫
♫ Through the blue, starry sea ♫
What happened?
Did you sleep well?
Why are you outside?
In case you snored.
You should've heard it.
In case I liked it.
When I asked your home address, you only told me the neighborhood, not your home address. Where should I go?
I know where we are. It's close, I'll walk.
Will you be okay?
But, by any chance, did I call you?
If you ask like that, I want to lie.
I called you and the owner of that place picked up the phone. He asked me to take you.
Why did you call?
Because I was worried.
I will go now.
Thank you for dropping me home.
What is it?
I thought you wouldn't answer my call so I came.
I came to return this.
Letter of Resignation
I can't accept your resignation.
After all this time, are you reinstating me?
No, of course, you can't get reinstated.
You're not resigning but you're fired. So I can't accept your resignation.
I packed up your stuff, so come get it as soon as possible. Also, return your employee card.
Why are you doing this to me?
I was expecting
that you were saying malicious things about me in front of me, but behind my back, you would say that you fired me wrongly and that you would reinstate me.
I expected you to take my side.
You hate me these days, but how many hurdles did we go through together?
You were my incredible protector and my incredible partner.
Rather than our distant relationship right now, I remember more clearly those times.
That's why when I saw you standing in front of my house,
I thought that I could reconcile with you.
But... But this to me... Why are you doing this?
Why?
This is more miserable than being fired.
I have no intention of criticizing you,
so don't you criticize me either.
Did you take care of Bae Ta Mi?
I forgot to give this to you.
Did you see it?
Yeah.
I keep showing you my worst. I really hate it.
What's your worst?
A woman that drunkenly slept with a man she's never met before, groveling in front of the supervisor that fired her.
A man that drunkenly slept with a woman he's met before,
has even groveled in front of investors to form a company only to fail spectacularly.
If we're playing the hardship Olympics, you're no match for me,
so just stay still.
Work hard on playing piano, Student Bae Ta Mi.
Bae Ta Mi
Take this to sober up before you sleep.
I told you a secret so you tell me a secret too.
Between people who don't know each other and don't need to look good in front of each other...
That way I'll be less embarrassed.
Park Morgan.
That's my name.
I don't like that we are anonymous to each other.
That's my secret, which came into existence today.
Day of going to the prosecutors' office
It's a witness interview
about how you came to find out
Congressman Joo Seung Tae was soliciting underage prostitution,
and what methods you used.
It won't take long.
Yes.
You can wait in Room 203.
Then, I'll see you soon.
How does it feel to have become the star of the hearing?
Why is a sex offender talking to me?
You screwed Unicon over, and the hearings. But you got to be grand once, so you must be happy.
I am happy.
Thinking about throwing human trash like you in jail, gives me the will to live.
I hate bitches like you.
Not good or evil, not bowing to authority or defying it.
You're blinded by your greed and you only want to survive. You bitch.
Why? Can't I?
Can't I be a dog?
Why can't I be blinded by my greed?
What made you like this?
Avenging my parents, or getting back at my ex-husband...
Are you expecting some reason like that?
My greed has no motivation.
I make my own desire, though I'm sure you couldn't even imagine that.
But your desire is illegal.
I hope you're never happy for a day.
CEO Min Hong Joo.
It's me, Bae Ta Mi.
I will go to Barro.
Personnel Announcements
Bae Ta Mi
Fired.
Have you all been well?
General Manager Bae.
Who are you?
General Manager.
I guess there was already a change in personnel.
Unicon is really flexible. Is that why it's called Unicon? [T/N: flexible in Korean = yuyeonhada]
Starting from tomorrow, I will be working for Barro.
- While I'm gone, I am definitely going to put Unicorn in second. - Hey!
What are you—
So, you guys too come to your senses and work hard.
Use everything that you learned from me, and think about what my weaknesses are.
Since you guys know me the best,
don't get pushed down helplessly.
Go beyond me, understand?
I haven't been here for a while so I haven't learned much from you, General Manager.
Is that my fault?
No. So from now on, I'm going to learn from you
at Barro.
Please accept me.
General Manager Bae Ta Mi.
Does it have to be you?
What?
Okay. If you want to work with me, you have to fix being so chipper.
Yes! Ah—
Yes. So are we going to Barro right now?
No. We have to take one more person.
Who?
Jo Ah Ra.
Jo Ah Ra? Who is that?
The most intelligent person in our company.
Do you love your job right now?
What?
Do you want to be a barista, or do you want to own this café, or both?
I don't think so.
Then quit your job here and come with me.
To Barro.
I heard Bae Ta Mi is going to Barro.
Yes.
Is it just Team Leader Choi Bong Gi going with her?
She also took the part-time worker from the first-floor café.
How typical of Bae Ta Mi.
How long has Bae Ta Mi worked with you again?
It was thirteen years.
And how long since you two have grown apart?
I... I don't remember.
Yeah.
Director, there's a posting that came up on the company message board.
I think you need to see it.
What is it?
It's what General Manager Bae Ta Mi posted.
Code of ethics for web portals. Article one.
A portal site is the most progressive and participatory place.
No matter what, a portal won't violate portal users' right to know
and their freedom of expression.
Code of ethics for web portals. Article two.
A web portal shouldn't manipulate or conceal information.
It must protect its users from pressures, violations, restriction, discrimination,
who try to harm their right.
Code of ethics for web portals. Article three.
A web portal mustn't be swayed by someone's private interests,
and it must remain independent from politic's, economic's and society external influences.
And it mustn't intervene in anything, that might harm its impartiality.
Code of ethics for web portals. Article four.
A web portal must manage, supervise and be responsible
for everything that happens on the site.
It should never stay quiet about them or try to avoid them.
Code of ethics for web portals. Article five.
The power of a web portal's to influence comes from its users, and it influences them at the same time.
It must never aim for any unjustifiable benefits,
and it mustn't yield to any improper influences.
This code of ethics for web portals was written by Song Ga Gyeong and me eight years ago.
I empathized and agreed with everything in that.
And to this day, I still agree.
Goodbye, everyone.
Are you ready for your first day?
- Yes. - I'm perfectly ready!
♫ Make it wow, you can do it right now ♫
♫ In your heart ♫
♫ I can go like a shooting star ♫
♫ Lighten your dark room ♫
That—
♫ Looking for the answer I want to hear ♫
- Hi! - Hello.
Haha.
♫ Try to surprise everybody ♫
♫ Everybody ♫
♫ Come to you ♫
♫ Today ♫
♫ Come to you ♫
♫ The main character in your life is just you ♫
♫ It should be only you ♫
♫ Everybody ♫
♫ Come to you ♫
♫ Today ♫
I think the higher-ups are spending it all on decorating.
It's like this but why second place?
lt's natural for companies like this to rank second because they use their money to buy nice chairs.
Oh.
They also have a cafe here.
Should we have a cup of coffee? My treat.
♫ Oh yeah ♫
♫ Make it wow ♫
Three cups of Americano. Iced.
If you are a Barro employee, we provide drinks with discounted price and you pay monthly.
Really?
Daebak!
Suspicion on Assemblyman Joo Seung Tae's soliciting prostitution - Police starts full investigation
We will get that with a discounted price next time. Thank you.
- Let's go. - What?
That...
Bae Ta Mi?
Hello.
What's this? Why did you come out from here?
You were the one who came out and I was the one standing here.
You should go on your way and share our greetings later.
I need to get on.
Here... I am asking why you came here?
That too, next time.
Hello.
Do you know her?
She's scary.
Don't worry, I'm scarier.
On her tag, it says Social General Manager Scarlet. She's Korean though.
We use English names here.
And that corny thing is what we have to do from now on.
Heol!
Ach, then I guess...
In July...
Miss Bae Ta Mi, you came in early.
You weren't in the President's room so we looked for you for quite a while.
Is that so? I don't usually stay there. It gets lonely.
But then I think it won't be lonely anymore.
Hello.
Then, should we share our greetings in the President's office?
Jenny, let's go together.
Let's go.
Why did she come here?
What reason on earth would Bae Ta Mi have to come to Barro?
Please lower your voice, Scarlet. There are ears and eyes of Unicon everywhere.
And also, Bae Ta Mi was also fired from Unicon.
Where did that come from?
Here. I heard it from the mouths here.
She got fired but why Barro—
I think I know why she came here.
Brian Min
I knew it.
Scarlet, you came just at the right time.
Brian. What situation is this?
First, have a seat.
Alex, have a seat first too.
Hurry.
Now, everyone is gathered.
Perhaps, that person is not coming into this company too, right?
So for the people gathered here now, you are now one team.
What are you saying?
How could this be one team?
That's why it's more special.
Now, all of you, for a year,
for Barro Portal to win back first place,
you are the chosen members of the TF team.
The name of this team will be Service Care Team.
The sub name will be Turning Around Portal Site Usage Team.
The team leader will be Miss Bae Ta Mi.
I will not be on this team.
Scarlet, I am not asking for your opinion.
I am issuing a transfer.
Am I someone who is so insignificant that someone who just came in would be assigned as a team leader?
In order to win Unicon, hiring someone from Unicon, does that make sense?
To us, we need someone who is not Barro-style.
We need new ideas and a totally different insight.
Barro is doing Barro's way and stuck in Barro's style.
The things that we have not able to do before, we need someone who will bravely start it.
In that sense, I put Miss Bae Ta Mi in charge.
Does that explain it?
I do not want to work in a team that is lead by Miss Bae Ta Mi.
Do so if this team needs Bae Ta Mi.
I can't do it.
Scarlet. This team also needs you.
If so, decide,
because I can't accept this team.
What should we do?
But still, it's not unexpected.
That's right.
This is this nothing to worry about?
Well, since no one got hurt I guess it ended well.
I think this is my first task.
General Manager Cha Hyeon.
What is the reason that you do not like me?
After getting fired from Unicon, you think it's wrong to go to the competitor and be a team leader?
If not, I could only think about your inferiority complex.
Since you can't think anything but that.
Win or lose, superior or inferior. That's all you can think of.
You being smart? I know that.
You didn't even apologize at the hearing but people think what you said is right.
You made them believe you.
Exposing an assemblyman as a sex offender? That's great.
But in my eyes, I only see you as a thug who slyly evades an unfavorable situation.
Work with me.
What?
I need that kind of perspective.
I also need someone who would say things straight to my face.
Right now, I am saying that I can't work—
When Unicon made me attend the congressional hearing,
"It's not manipulated, the problem is from the algorithm, it's not our fault,"
they gave me a manual to answer like that.
But then I didn't want to do that.
It was a shitty hearing but the hearing is still a hearing. I didn't want to lie.
The situation where you said I was like a thug...
It was a crying scream for me.
In a place where I can't admit or deny, it was a crying scream for me to keep my conscience.
You told me not to get involved in heroism.
A hero? Someone who is great? I'm not interested in it at all.
My interest, for now, is going over Unicon and becoming number one.
And I need you. So let's do it.
So there's nothing but winning in your head.
I came here to do that.
You don't like my way. I acknowledge that.
Am I tactless? I acknowledge that, too.
In the future, not all of my ways will be cool.
I usually use not-so-cool ways to win to the top.
If you can win coolly and elegantly, then you be the team leader.
If not, then just follow.
Even if you don't like it, still do it. This is just business.
I am the team leader and I will take responsibility.
Can you really take responsibility?
What if we can't be number one? How will you take responsibility?
What should I do?
Not a year but six months.
If we can't do it in six months, let go of being the team leader and leave.
I will. I will win.
Sunbae.
Let go.
Just hit me, though it feels like I was hit already.
No. You haven't been hit yet.
It's a relief that it was an insult to you.
Shut up.
I was uncomfortable after I put that up.
But it feels refreshing that I did that.

The number one is us anyway and the one in urgent need is Barro.
Barro will be right out (word play on barro).
Are you saying that we should lie?
Is it a lie?
I will be opposite of Ta Mi.
Can we see each other for a bit later?
I don't want to be like this when I meet someone.
You're not answering your phone.
I hope there would be no next time.
How could you do it like this?
Is there nothing that is leaked to Unicon?
Are you saying that I leaked info to Unicon?
Did she catch on?
You did something.
What do I need to do?
Do you want to work for Unicon?
In Barro?
