You don't have to do this.
Armand de Brignac Blanc de Blancs.
It's the wine you always ordered,
but never got to actually taste.
I ordered it for you today.
I'd like to introduce myself again.
My name is Jeong Gal Hee.
My dad passed away when I was 12.
And my mom passed away when I was 19.
I have no money.
No parents.
I have nothing.
But I have my siblings who always support me.
I have my secretary friends at the company.
And...
I'm serving a great boss...
who forgave my wrongdoings.
I see.
That's you.
As you already know,
I'm Do Min Ik.
The crazy guy...
who fell in love with you and the other you.
Should we do a toast?
For what?
For Jeong Gal Hee and Do Min Ik.
For our first meeting.
(Episode 15: From Boss to Subordinate)
From Boss to Subordinate
What? What happened?
"Leakage of classified information?"
"T&T Mobile announces..."
"that the both regular and dispatched employees..."
involved in the foul organization, Euldoguk, will be referred...
to the disciplinary committee or have their contract terminated.
Oh, no.
"The following individuals will be subjected to disciplinary action."
"Secretary Lee Eul Wang founded the foul organization, Euldoguk,"
"and caused disorder within the company."
"Chief Director Gi Dae Ju cooperated with its founding."
"Also,"
"the dispatched employees involved in Euldoguk..."
"Will be dismissed from their contracts..."
"for leaking classified information of the company..."
"and damaging its reputation and credibility."
Hey.
Guys.
What do we do now?
If you don't fire me, I'm going to reveal everything...
from business malpractice to violation...
of the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act.
If malpractice was that easy to be proven,
I wouldn't still be here.
And thankfully,
you guys took that money and stopped us from violating...
the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act.
If not the law, I'll reveal it through the media.
There are so many people who are more corrupted than me.
Go ahead and do it.
Taking paintings and bribes...
isn't even worth writing an article for.
Look, there's a stain.
(CEO Shim Hae Yong)
It'll be troublesome for both of us if the ledger is revealed.
So let's just settle the matter here.
We could've put you in jail for embezzlement.
Consider yourself lucky.
It must've been hard...
dealing with all the anxiety.
Gal Hee.
Can't you take your day off too?
The weather is great. Let's go on a picnic together with Nam Hee.
It's not a picnic that I want to go...
on a great, sunny day like today.
It's work.
Sweetheart, let's go...
to work with me.
Who is it?
Why did you come all the way to my house?
Who is he?
She's my sister, Jeong Nam Hee.
Hello, I'm Do Min Ik.
I'll go take my bag.
Does my outfit look like it's for work?
Are we working outside the office today?
A date.
What? Are you going out with your boss?
A date?
What about work?
Take your day off.
Tell your boss right now.
How?
- Can I take my day off? - Accepted.
You should've told me sooner.
My hair is a mess.
I didn't get to put makeup on my face either.
You know your boss.
He can't see faces.
Still.
This is our first date.
I want to dress up and look good.
You know what I mean?
Then I'll wait in the car.
Take your time getting ready.
- Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Mr. Do.
Well,
you look pretty.
Really?
I only took off my glasses, that's all.
You didn't have to bring that cardigan with you.
You should wear whatever you want on a day like this.
You said you wanted to be able to recognize...
at least one person.
It's the same for me.
I don't know about anyone else,
but I'd like you to recognize me for sure.
Do you remember the performance...
we were going to watch at the concert hall?
How about we watch it today?
All right, I'll reserve tickets for it.
I already did.
I was asking to see if you'd like it.
Well, I'm okay with anything...
as long as I'm with you.
Get in, Mr. Do.
Get in, Gal Hee.
What a nice car.
Where are you two headed?
Well, just...
Nam Hee, don't interrupt them. They're on a date.
I'm sorry, sir.
Don't mind people like us.
I wish you have a lovely date. Goodbye.
Goodness.
People with sound arms and legs are driving a decent car...
while this blind man has to walk.
Goodness, how sad.
Won't you be quiet now?
I'm sorry, Mr. Do.
No.
Don't be.
They don't have any car. Of course, I can give them a ride.
Where should I take you?
Drop us off at the beach close by.
The beach?
We've reserved tickets for a concert.
Nam Hee, you know, right?
The only luxury a blind man can enjoy...
is breathing fresh air.
She's blinded by love,
so she wouldn't care a thing...
about her blind brother.
Nam Hee. You've done nothing great to run your mouth like this.
I'll take you there.
It's going to take a lot of time.
I waited so much to go on a date with you.
I want to be alone with you today.
Then let's...
drop them off at the beach first.
And then...
let's spend some time alone.
Just like we did before,
we can have grilled clams...
and go to a pretty cafe too.
That'd be great.
How refreshing.
Catch me if you can.
Mr. Jeong.
- Mr. Jeong. - I thought we'd spend time alone.
What is he doing?
- Mr. Jeong. - Catch me if you can.
I thought we were going to have some time alone.
But what if he falls into the water or something?
Let me play with him a little more.
We can have dinner alone. Just the two of us.
It's time.
Let's leave him to Nam Hee.
- We should go now. - Now?
- Hurry. - But...
So why did you have to wear heels?
You hardly wear them on a normal day.
There.
Excuse me.
I think I'm lost.
Can you find my sister and her boyfriend for me?
I'm sure...
they were somewhere around here until a while ago.
I lost them while playing tag.
I thought we were going to have dinner alone.
But...
he said he was hungry after running.
Let's...
just eat dinner together.
Mr. Jeong.
Don't tell me...
you actually aren't blind.
How are you...
so good at picking up the meat?
I don't know.
I feel like I can see at this moment.
You're done eating, right?
Let's go now.
Let's go.
Oh, should we?
Nam Hee.
I think it's my first time...
eating Korean beef since the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
What about you?
For me,
it's the first time ever.
I've only had beef imported from the United States or Australia.
I didn't even know they raised cows in Korea.
I thought meat was always frozen.
I've learned today that meat can also be stored fresh.
Mr. Do.
You know what?
Our family wasn't affected during the IMF crisis...
because we were already poor.
Excuse me.
Give us three more servings.
Okay.
Mr. Do.
No.
If you drink that,
we'll never...
be able to escape.
Right.
Someone like you must've had fine-quality drinks all the time.
What's worth drinking soju offered by a blind man?
Give it to me.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E29 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Min Ik with the Jeong Family" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Inn, rooms available)
Are you telling me...
we have to spend the night here?
So why did you have to take that drink?
You drank too.
I don't think this is right.
It might be better for us to wait until I'm sober...
and go back to Seoul together.
You should've made a reservation beforehand.
It isn't easy to get a room at a place like this on the day of.
You said you were chief director or whatever,
so I thought we'd be able to sleep at a six-star hotel.
You're the ones who suddenly changed the destination.
I can't tell if it's an inn or a fine hotel regardless.
Being blind lets you be carefree.
I think it's better this way.
What?
Let's...
put them to bed early.
Then...
it'll be...
just the two of us...
late in the night.
All right, get ready.
Shoot.
(Gwang Bak Building)
Congratulations!
You've won...
Gwang Bak Building at Gangnam Station.
What is this?
I mean,
I wanted to do something for you...
for being so wild for me last night.
You know what I have.
Money and buildings.
I'd like to give you...
a building as a small gift.
What I want isn't a building.
It's the owner of the building.
I was wild last night...
not for you,
but for me.
Goodness.
If you keep being like this,
I might go crazy out of the desire to do something for you.
What should I do for you?
What do you want to have?
You don't have a car, do you?
Should I buy you a car? Pick one.
A sedan, sports car, or SUV?
The source of my wild strength...
is my lower body...
that I trained by riding a bicycle all the time.
Will you be okay with...
giving up on my lower body?
No, I can't give it up.
Why do I become...
so thoughtless whenever I'm with you?
Hi, Eul Wang.
Is it a woman?
So things ended up that way.
Okay, I'll head there.
Hello, Reporter Park.
I sent you the data via e-mail.
Thank you in advance.
(A one-person protest against unfair dismissal)
It won't be easy.
Mr. Shim put you to this...
to make up a reason to hold the disciplinary committee,
but you'll be fine.
It's not like you actually cooperated with us.
Eul Wang!
I told you to act ignorant about this at work.
I'll try to have them withdraw your dismissal.
- No. - We've decided to let them fire us.
What?
Even if I get reinstated,
I have three months left before my contract expires.
Then I'll be anxious whether I get fired or not.
I don't want to live like this anymore.
They change companies every year and sign illegal contracts.
It's all because they don't want to make...
dispatched workers full-time employees.
Getting reinstated won't be any use...
if the situation stays the same.
So?
- Are you going to give up? - No.
We want to face them.
Even if we get fired,
we want to let them know why we did all of it,
so that all workers like us...
can be treated properly without having to do what we did.
(A group protest...)
(for permanent employment contracts)
Secretary Jeong.
Yes, Director Do?
Are you really going to just sleep?
I'm sorry, Director Do.
You always go: "Sorry."
You were the one who wanted to enjoy some alone time together.
Why are you calling this late, instead of coming home?
I'm sorry, mom.
I'm sorry that I didn't tell you about my illness.
I...
won't feel bad for you just because you're sick.
Don't even think about making a big fuss.
Just become CEO.
Of course.
Don't worry, mom.
I just want to eat samgyetang when I get home.
And,
one day,
I wish our family...
goes on a trip to the beach.
You...
and me.
If you want, even Uncle Shim.
Okay, then. Goodnight.
You're awake.
So,
finally,
we're by ourselves.
It seems so.
What?
Nothing.
There's something I want to see.
Gi Dae Ju has seen it.
Even Veronica Park as well.
I'm the only one who hasn't seen...
your face when you look at me.
I wish I could show you...
how I am looking at you right now.
Did I say this before?
I...
have seen...
your face.
Really? My face?
Even my expression?
Yes.
But...
it doesn't happen all the time.
My heart pressure has to go up...
and my heart has to starting pumping...
like it's pounding.
Then,
how can I make your blood pressure go up?
Well,
my blood pressure doesn't go up...
even when I wear compression stockings.
But strangely, when I'm with you,
and my body...
is close to you,
my blood pressure...
starts to surge.
Your body?
You know, that time...
when we were in the forklift truck.
When we were holding onto each other.
Then,
what should we do?
How about this?
Is it working?
Can you see me?
No.
I can't see your face at all.
It seems that...
I need to get closer to you.
How is it?
How strange.
It's not working.
It seems that...
this is...
not...
enough at all.
If this isn't working,
how much closer do we have to be?
Well,
that depends on you.
How closer can you get?
Well,
I mean...
If you're willing to do it,
we can try anything.
Anything?
Everything?
For your information,
these are my lips.
What are you thinking?
I just...
wanted to put my arm around you.
That's what I was talking about.
Oh!
I see.
I understand.
But...
shouldn't it be the other way around?
We already held hands and hugged.
Just now you're thinking of putting your arms around me?
If...
I had opened my eyes that moment,
would I have seen your face?
But I did not want to open my eyes,
at least not at that moment.
These were the lips I'd been looking for.
The person I'd been looking for...
was you.
I didn't have to look to know this.
(Episode 30 will air shortly.)
Everyone,
I said "strike," but not "hunger strike."
How about I shave my head instead?
Hair can grow back,
but a missed meal never comes back!
I'm putting this on the sign, so you should finish eating that.
Now!
(First day of hunger strike)
(Why don't we eat dinner together after work?)
(How about that restaurant we went last time?)
Lee Eul Wang.
What are you...
doing here?
(Sure!)
Director Do.
It's me, Eun Jeong Su.
I wanted to...
say that I'm sorry.
Why are you not listening?
Look!
As you can see,
I didn't receive any compensation even after that accident.
The company didn't provide anything for me,
and Secretary Lee was the one to support my fees.
I was just looking for the file.
I didn't mean to harm you.
Did CEO Shim tell you?
Chauffeur Eun worked for Mr. Shim.
Uncle.
It was him.
He's the reason why you had that accident.
Look, he's here.
That's the police.
I called them.
I wanted to see you,
and tell you that I'm sorry for harming you,
even though I knew that...
you'd never forgive me.
I am really sorry.
I'm really sorry.
Director Do Min Ik.
Your hands.
You have the right to remain silent.
You have the right to hire an attorney.
Anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.
Let's go.
Then you knew from the start...
that Mr. Do can't recognize faces?
All of you knew,
and you pretended that you didn't?
I'm sorry.
We only heard about it recently.
Mr. Do.
I am Lee Eul Wang.
Did you meet Chauffeur Eun?
I am the person who you did wrong.
That is,
I'm the only person you should hate.
Please forgive the others.
Did you have to...
do all this?
I wanted to help...
Gi Dae Ju's mother, who died saving your father's fish...
and Eun Jeong Su, who your uncle just tossed away.
If I hadn't helped them,
nobody else would have.
Director Do?
What?
Do you want me to forgive you as well?
No.
I don't want to forgive anyone.
You don't know...
how I view people.
Chauffeur Eun, who hurt me.
My uncle, who hurt Chauffeur Eun.
Those wasted 23 years.
Even my father.
I going to hate and resent everyone...
in my entire life.
Okay.
Resent everyone, then.
I will resent them alongside you.
I will hate them alongside you.
So continue hating everyone...
until you feel better.
This evil company should make reparations!
Make reparations!
Guarantee stable employment for contract workers!
Stable employment!
Contract workers are workers too! Protect our basic labor rights!
- Protect labor rights! - Why are you here?
I thought we would never see you again.
Protect our rights!
- Make reparations! - I'm sorry...
for what I said before.
I guess I got a little too angry.
We're sorry as well.
If I knew we would be fired,
I would have told you sooner.
Still,
at least you kept your job.
I heard that you signed a contract directly with Director Do.
How long does that contract last?
Well, that is...
It does say that I can work until I want to quit.
You're so lucky.
I guess you'll never be fired.
Now that you mention it,
Jeong Gal Hee, you're like one of the bosses now.
You used to be all fired up about...
killing your boss for firing you, not so long ago.
Yes, Mr. Do?
Dinner?
(Hunger strike, day one)
Okay.
Go.
I know that you hate...
making your boss wait.
Go.
He's probably feeling bad right now.
Go take care of him.
You're so lucky.
You'll never be fired.
What is it?
Do you not like the food?
Then,
try this.
Not that I think about it,
you're like one of the bosses now.
Why are you not eating?
Well...
I told you that I would share your feelings of hatred.
The file was the reason why you are like this.
I'm mad at the other secretaries,
whenever I think about how you got hurt.
But...
I used to...
have to worry about my job security...
and the renewal of my contract.
I used to be called "Lackey at T&T Mobile."
When I was fired,
the secretaries were the ones who stood by me.
They all got fired...
and are starving now.
I'm the only one who's left.
I can't just eat.
Go.
I can't forgive Eun Jeong Su, the secretaries or anyone.
But I brought you here to eat good food with you,
not to see you like this.
I'll be here,
hating on everyone.
So you should go...
and hate on me.
Could you take a look at this?
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Hey,
I haven't eaten for a few hours...
and I'm starting to see things.
Is the girl running towards here,
Jeong Gal Hee?
I told you to stay with your boss.
Why are you here?
Well, Eul Wang.
I've been looking for a place to fast since I gained weight,
and...
I thought this place would be perfect.
It's free and I'd have friends to fast alongside with.
Who are your friends?
How can I help?
Gal Hee.
Wear this and hand out these plea letters.
(We condemn the vicious enterprise, T&T Mobile.)
(Out with the vicious owner! Stop the inheritance.)
Hey,
she can't even keep his boss waiting,
let alone criticize him.
If you feel uncomfortable, it's fine.
We're really okay.
You'll be connected to the voice mail...
Why isn't she picking up?
There's no way...
she's still there.
Thank you.
Could I get your signature?
Thank you.
Could I get your signature?
Hello, could you...
Hello, could you take a look at this?
Thank you.
Hello, please take a look at this.
Thank you.
Permanent employment!
Director Do.
(Out with the vicious owner! Stop the inheritance.)
It's...
Have you eaten?
I'm fasting.
Are you sleeping there?
I'll be here during the night,
but I'll come in for work in the morning with no problem.
I'm sorry, Director Do.
It's cold.
Are you here already?
Come into the office,
Secretary Jeong.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E30 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "Hunger Strike" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Look!
Pig feet?
Come here.
No one's watching now.
Have some...
before going out to the protest.
No.
Don't say that.
Just one piece.
It's my second day of fasting. This is wrong.
Imagine...
Imagine how desperate the secretaries were...
to be fasting like this.
Then don't go.
Director Do.
I don't care...
if you protest outside that I should get fired...
or even die.
But...
I don't want you fasting all day standing out there...
and sleeping under a box in the freezing cold.
I don't like people whispering:
"Oh, that's too bad."
So...
just eat one piece.
I...
have that picket around my neck...
but I also feel sorry for you.
I keep thinking about you that it drives me crazy.
But...
you shouldn't miss a meal yourself.
Don't worry about me.
I promise you that I'll be back all healthy,
so you won't have to worry about me.
(Hunger strike, day three)
What do we do now?
The reporters didn't write about us after interviewing us.
CEO Shim is not budging at all.
- Guys, tear it down. - Yes.
Go sleep at your house if you're tired.
- Don't make a mess here. - Get out.
Does it make any difference?
- So pathetic. - Let go of me.
Who are you?
Director Do.
Well,
I know you're working hard.
I am...
Chief Director of Media Bureau 1...
at T&T Mobile.
Yes.
Look.
"The tyrannical owner Do Wan Bae..."
is my father...
and "the king of bribes, CEO Shim Hae Yong" is my uncle.
Also,
the guy which "Stop the inheritance" is referring to...
is me.
But...
why are you here?
I'll take care of it here.
You can all go now.
But we were hired...
by Mr. Shim.
I'll talk to him later.
Don't worry.
You can go.
- Well, I'm not worried. - You should go.
Bye.
- Greet him. - Okay.
Please take care of it.
I'm counting on you.
Okay.
The CAT scan is not that different from the last time.
Please take a good look at the composition of this drug.
It's a regular over-the-counter cold medicine.
Can she take this without eating food?
How much has she fasted?
For three days?
What?
Then you should give her food, not a pill.
She's not eating. That's why I asked.
Make her eat first...
or take her to the hospital for an intravenous.
She won't even come to the hospital.
By the way,
you.
Haven't you recognized any faces...
since the funeral?
Do you remember...
Dr. Park's patient in the United States?
That patient recently...
There's someone who's fasting right now.
Is that really the problem here?
Well,
you used to make a scene asking me to treat your problem.
"Outstanding medical advances?"
You can't even produce a pill you can take without food.
Give me that.
Why did I operate on him in the first place?
Are you going to leave...
those secretaries and chauffeurs like that?
They've been fasting for three days.
So I wanted to take it all down,
since it was ruining the company image.
Why did you stop it?
If you hadn't violated contract labor laws...
and made compensations for the industrial accidents,
they wouldn't be doing that.
Are you insane?
Can't you see that they stole company money?
The nerve of you to talk about violating contract labor laws.
If you can't give them permanent positions now,
at least prepare a negotiating table so that they can stop fasting.
I wouldn't have started it all if I had wanted to negotiate.
The executives will come around...
once I take care of this situation.
Are you going to leave them as is just for your reappointment?
Do you have a better idea?
After the revelation of your facial blindness,
I'm still on the edge.
(Gwang Bak Building)
Hello, Mrs. Park.
What are you doing?
Why did you want to see me?
Do you see this building?
It's Gwang Bak building,
which is owned by Ms. Park.
I knew...
you were ambitious.
You already learned about our properties.
Why are we here?
I was...
I was going to...
investigate you,
but I was scared you might take all our properties.
I'll give this building to you.
So steer clear of...
my daughter.
We're not a couple to break up after I get just one building.
I can't give you two!
I forgot to tell you this.
I only buy things to own more than ten years.
I go out with a girl whom I want to spend the rest of my life with.
You are...
like a toy I got for my daughter.
Hearing that from you,
nothing would make me happier.
She'd smile when she sees me.
She'd be happy when she sees me.
I wish I could be her toy forever.
I heard the secretaries are a pain in the neck.
What's this?
You've been so confident so I cooked it in advance.
Eat this and become the CEO.
Why are you just standing there?
How unfortunate.
I don't think I can eat this.
You've been craving this.
I know.
I really wanted to eat...
the samgyetang...
you cooked for me in 20 years.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, mom.
(Prescription)
The executives will come around...
once I take care of this situation.
Hello.
It's me. Where are you?
What's this?
Why did you want me here?
I heard about your mother...
but I didn't call you until now.
I've been having a lot on my mind.
That's why I couldn't call you too.
I'm sorry.
If it hadn't been for me,
Secretary Lee wouldn't have made this mess...
and you wouldn't have suffered...
from that disease.
Hey, you're crazy.
You heard how your mom passed away...
and you still came to the directorate.
I hate your dad enough.
Don't worry.
Who is trying the suit?
Me?
I want to get you...
a suit.
Please wait a second.
You're the crazy one.
Why would a jobless man wear a suit?
There will be a time...
in the future.
Dae Ju.
I'm making a plan.
I need your help.
(Application for CEO at T&T Mobile)
What's this?
I got it back from the executive office.
What are you doing?
I'll withdraw...
my application for the CEO position.
What?
I'll give it up for you.
If you withdraw your name,
I'll be the only candidate.
Do you think I'd believe you?
I have one condition.
I want to go home.
I miss my mom.
I want to go to sleep.
I want to eat fried chicken.
Secretary Jeong.
You didn't have to come here.
I was wondering what you wanted to eat...
the most.
Why?
Pig feet? Pizza?
I want all of it.
How about fried chicken and hamburger?
It would be so good.
No.
No, Director Do.
Okay.
I'm sure you're craving everything,
but it's your first meal in four days.
Porridge would be better.
Get up.
Take that off...
and let's go eat.
You can't do this.
All of you should go back home too.
The company will prepare a negotiating table.
Go back home and eat.
What do you mean, Director Do?
I've talked with CEO Shim.
The announcement will be posted tomorrow.
He said he'd call you for the details.
(CEO Shim Hae Yong)
Take the call, Eul Wang.
This is Lee Eul Wang.
Sorry?
Okay.
2 p.m. tomorrow. Okay.
(Hunger strike, day 4)
Are you that happy?
Yes, I am so happy.
The secretaries can go back to work...
without worrying about getting fired.
Now I can eat anything I want.
The happiest thing is that...
I'll be the secretary...
of the CEO.
Why are you looking at me like that?
What?
I'm happy because you're happy.
I really want to show you my face today...
to show you how happy I am.
Then...
could you hold me...
as tightly as how much you feel happy?
