Pirates are here!
Go get them!
During his childhood, the friend he liked the most was Dae Ju,
and the one he loved the most was his mom.
Mom!
How have you been?
Mom!
Mom is mad.
Ms. Choi and Ms. Lee.
Is Min Ik's birthday party prepared?
- It's underway, ma'am. - It's underway, ma'am.
What do you want for your birthday gift?
A ship.
I thought it'd be a perfect party...
until I saw the actual ship.
Here. You can have it.
This isn't fun for me anymore.
Really?
Then what will you do with that?
Let's make it our secret base.
Whenever we have a secret we want to tell each other,
we can go to the ship.
Okay.
(What Happens When We No Longer Recognizes Our Parents?)
My goodness.
Secretary Jeong.
I need you...
I need you to help me.
Me?
Why do I have to help you?
Min Ik!
Ms. Jeong.
Hold on!
Min Ik.
Min Ik!
Why... why?
What is it?
Are you back?
I am.
I couldn't just leave with such a false accusation!
I see.
So you're really back.
Listen. I didn't come back because of you...
but to clear my name.
You can't just take off your shirt while I'm talking!
My shirt.
Is it okay to leave the hospital?
We need to go somewhere.
Where?
Good afternoon!
Where can I take you?
- Tanhyeon Studio. - Yeongdeungpo Police Station.
Have you ever seen me neglecting my duty?
Have you seen any secretary working for her boss after getting fired?
I must clear my name at the police station first.
Get off, then.
I'll stop by the station after work.
What if you don't show up?
Get on, then!
Make up your mind already.
Promise that we'll go to the police station right after the shoot.
I said I won't run away, so...
Director Do!
Who is she?
Goodness. It's Eul Wang Lee.
I mean she's Ms. Lee.
Is she?
What do I do now?
She knows that I'm fired...
and even said she'd come to my farewell party.
This is bad.
Gal Hee, why are you here?
I was caught up in this situation.
By the way, what brings you here?
Well, the director called our team...
after he failed to reach you and Director Do.
Are you all right, sir?
I am fine.
Good afternoon, sir.
Who is he?
What are you talking about? He's the director.
Right.
Hello.
How come I couldn't reach you? We'd been waiting for you.
Well...
I'll be waiting outside.
Don't leave.
From this moment,
stay right by my side...
no matter what happens.
♪ My apple-like face is ♪
♪ Very pretty ♪
♪ My twinkling eyes ♪
♪ My shiny nose ♪
♪ And my beautiful lips ♪
- Okay. - What on earth is this?
You did a good job.
Director Do,
please stand next to Da Young.
Who is that?
Sorry?
Who is Da Young?
Why are you asking me?
Da Young, lift your hand!
I'm here, ma'am!
It's her.
Why are you asking me about everything today?
Recognizing people is what you're best at.
All right.
Let's do it again. Okay?
Get ready and start.
♪ My cucumber-like face is ♪
Why does she keep calling?
♪ Very long ♪
I'm sorry, it's not a good time...
So many creepy rumors about you...
are spreading throughout the office!
Why haven't you been picking up your phone?
I guess the rumors might partly be true.
♪ My face is very long ♪
Okay. That was lovely.
Ladies,
this is the last.
Let's move to the studio!
I must keep it together.
Head on straight.
Mr. Do?
No way.
Sir,
where are you going?
Are you messing around with me on purpose?
I... I told you to stay close to me all the time!
Why are you yelling at me?
Wait. Why are you sweating?
Who are you?
Who am I?
Gal Hee who got fired two days ago.
The one you fired with a smile.
The legendary lackey secretary of T&T Mobile! Do you want more?
I know!
Secretary Jeong.
Why are you the only one still the same?
You're right.
I'm still your doormat even after getting fired.
Look. I'm wiping the sweat off your face now.
Dr. Gu.
I'd better see Dr. Gu first.
I knew it'd turn out this way.
You promised me you'd go see...
the detectives, not your doctor!
Name?
Do Min Ik.
Do Min Ik...
(Yeongdeungpo Police Station)
There are two possibilities.
The whole world has gone crazy...
- Address? - Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul...
or I've gone mad.
Wait.
Did I ask you the questions?
Why are you the one answering when he's the one I asked?
I'm sorry.
Still, I don't think he knows his address.
Excuse me, sir?
Whom were you going to meet at the spot?
My friend.
But he didn't show up for a reason I don't know.
He stood you up without any notice?
That's totally excusable...
between me and him.
You said you've seen the perpetrator's face.
Yes,
I have seen him...
with my own eyes.
Will you be able to recognize him if you see him again?
How did it go?
Understood.
I'll visit you tomorrow.
I can still remember him...
as if he's here with us.
Sir, here are the recordings from the security camera.
Good. Let me take a look.
Hardly anything was captured around the dock as it was too dark,
and this one shows the parking lot area.
Let's see.
It's him!
The one wearing a black cap and black clothes.
I can't see his face.
Rewind.
Stop!
What is this?
You all came together?
Well, all of the secretaries ate too much for dinner,
so we went out for exercise... Look.
It's a golf club, and this is a baseball bat.
They're all for exercise, you know.
What about the pig's feet?
They're good when you don't have dumbbells.
What is she saying?
Zoom in.
"I will go kill him."
- That's what she says here. - "I'll go kill him"?
Kill him? Kill who?
Me?
I meant the beautiful scenery totally distracted me,
and I could almost kill myself.
By the way, I think we should keep watching this.
- Stop there! - Okay.
Who is it?
Are you serious?
Can't you see?
What is it?
He's your colleague and best friend.
He's the one you were going to meet that day.
Dae Ju?
It's 11:53 p.m.
That means he was there when you arrived.
Where would he have gone instead of meeting you there?
In trust is treason.
Secretary Jeong.
How do you know the place?
Nobody except me and Dae Ju knows about it.
There is no such place...
that only you and Director Gi know.
All the secretaries who served you and Mr. Gi know the place.
I'm tired. Let's head home.
Okay. I should go home.
I'm talking about myself!
I need you to take me home because I'm tired.
You have money, right?
You also have a car.
But there's one thing you don't have.
What is it? I've got everything.
Your secretary.
I wanted to kill you.
I felt I didn't deserve being fired as I've always done my best.
I couldn't swallow my anger when I thought of my mom.
But after all, I saved your life.
I think this is the end of my term as secretary.
I couldn't properly say good bye...
as I was all in a fluster when I got fired.
Thank you for everything,
Director Do.
That's not...
You didn't come home until late, so I though you had left the nest.
You're my uncle,
aren't you?
Your uncle? I don't think so.
We're not even related by blood.
That's true, but we've been family for a long time,
having meals together at home...
since I was little.
That little cuckoo knows how to get on my nerves.
Stop calling him cuckoo.
No matter what others say, Min Ik is my son.
All you're doing is deceiving yourself.
You've taken care of him when his father was alive.
That's enough.
We gave him our father's post just to see him...
play around with a wench.
Are you trying to say that I'm a pushover?
Why can't you look me in the eyes?
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E03 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Director Do's Prosopagnosia" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Why do you have that look on your face?
It's just like...
the strange look...
you had when we first met.
Are you feeling sick?
I'm fine.
I'm not that shameless to fall ill again.
It was you who had taken care of me...
when I wasn't even able to stand on my own.
No one besides us must know...
that you're not my son.
I play the role...
of a good mother.
And you play the role of a perfect son.
That's the only reason why you're staying in our family.
I feel grateful to you always.
And...
I always love you.
Don't you grow sick of role-playing after 20 years?
Do Min Ik, a 34 -year-old male patient.
He suffered from a congenital giant aneurysm...
and underwent a clip-ligation at this hospital in 1992.
Despite not having complications after the surgery,
he visited the emergency room yesterday after a fall.
The area where...
we inserted the clip is right next to the face-recognizing section.
Eight.
Nine.
Five.
A butterfly.
Vision seems fine.
Cognitive function is intact.
All right. Look at his face.
Pick the same face as the one on the screen.
Why?
Did I pick the wrong one?
Do you think these two are the same person?
Be loyal!
Are you saying they are not?
They can look similar as they're dressed the same.
Are you having trouble recognizing everyone around you?
At first,
it was a couple of people.
But now, it's everyone.
No, wait.
There's one I recognize.
Who is it?
A family member?
A friend?
You said you can't even recognize your own mother.
Who's the one you recognize?
I acquired patience while working under a rigorous boss.
This outfit shows how passionate I am to work as secretary...
Hey. How old are you?
I'm 29.
I told the staff to accept applications...
from those under 26 only!
Excuse me?
All right.
It was nice seeing you.
Please wait a minute.
Is it because of my age?
You know the secretary is the star of the office.
I'm looking for a secretary...
who is lovely,
delicate, and has skin fresh like a baby.
Look how rough your skin is.
Sir,
which college did you attend?
Me?
I studied at Harvard.
How old are you?
I was born in 1958.
What time do you usually go home after work?
It's not fixed.
I work overtime almost every day.
- What are you doing, anyways? - I'm interviewing you too.
- What? - I have a right to choose my boss.
I'll also interview my future boss...
to see his competency,
personality, and attitude towards his work.
What is with this arrogant witch?
High-ranking officers represent the company.
- They should be tall... - Come here now.
- and muscular! - Come here already!
Come! What does your father do?
I hope I didn't hurt his feelings.
Venting out is so refreshing,
but it still bothers me.
Did Segi Card pass my resume by any chance?
Hello?
This is Sangmo Hospital.
The patient hasn't been answering our phone calls...
so we decided to called you, as you are his caregiver.
You can see the clip we inserted to block your aneurysm here.
This area is responsible for your ability to recognize faces.
According to our estimate,
the external shock you experienced when you fell might have...
relocated the clip, narrowing the blood vessels near the area.
Will that lead to...
a serious disorder or something?
It's called face blindness.
It occurs when the face-recognizing part fails to function properly.
Are you saying I'm blind or what?
The people you know can look strange all of a sudden.
And you can even forget a face that you just saw a second ago.
If it deteriorates, everyone would...
Everyone would what?
Never mind.
This is a rare case,
and the MRI results aren't bad.
So let's not make assumptions and just wait for a few more days.
Many show temporary symptoms...
but recover as time passes.
He must be right.
I'll get better soon.
Who are you?
You really must have been upset at me.
Still, how can you just ignore me in the face like that?
You even ignored my calls.
Yes, I am very upset at you.
What happened yesterday?
I called you to say I couldn't make it,
but you never answered.
You came though.
What?
I know you came.
Did you check...
the security camera or what?
Actually, I got a phone call from Secretary Lee...
right after I got there, so I left immediately.
Secretary Lee?
She had some personal problems.
I'm sorry.
Dae Ju,
you're not keeping any secrets from me, right?
I am.
What is it?
Later.
I will tell you there.
What about you?
You're not keeping me in the dark about anything, right?
I think I am,
but I'll tell you there.
Right.
Are you not going to hire a driver?
I like using a bicycle better.
Why do you ask suddenly?
I think I should hire one myself.
You're in luck.
My former chauffeur's father passed away,
so I'm going to attend his funeral today.
I'll ask around for you there.
This is Do Min Ik.
This is Chief Manager Kim of the art center.
I haven't got a call from Secretary Jeong.
Are you not attending the ceremony?
Right. I'll be there on time.
Okay.
Wait a second.
May I ask how my mother is dressed today?
Her outfit?
She's wearing a plain black jacket...
and a flowery shawl over it.
Ma'am,
how about swapping these two?
That's a great idea.
Okay.
Flowery shawl?
Are you okay?
Are you all right? Get up.
Hey, wait for me!
What's going on?
What's wrong with me?
Excuse me.
You're here.
It's me.
Congratulations.
I love you as always.
Who on earth are you?
Min Ik, what's all this...
Min Ik.
He's an officer of a mobile company. How does he still not have a phone?
You said I'd get better.
You said it wouldn't last!
Wait,
isn't that Director Do?
Did it get worse?
It has all disappeared.
The faces changed at first,
but now they're all gone!
I hoped it wouldn't progress to that stage.
Dr. Gu,
what's wrong with me?
When I was seven,
you promised me...
that you'd make sure...
there'd be no more problems with my brain!
Given the rapid progress,
it's highly likely to be prolonged.
Put me on medication then.
Why?
It can't be treated that way?
Or should I get shots?
Should I get a surgery again?
You're nothing more than a quack!
What kind of illness in the world...
can't be treated by medication?
Dr. Park has said...
he's met patients in the US with the same symptoms.
He'll return in a couple of days.
Then we'll try to figure out ways to treat you.
Remember?
You've endured an operation...
that could have taken your life away.
I no longer want to...
endure anything.
I'm sick of pretending to be healthy...
and fine.
I just need the faces back.
Then,
I'll give you my money,
my clothes.
I'll give you everything.
Everything you want!
Just put the faces back!
(Episode 4 will air shortly.)
Haven't you find him yet?
I'm already checking the black boxes of the cars...
that have been parked for a long time.
Rather,
I'd like to see him.
I'm telling you it wasn't Dae Ju.
Please find him as soon as possible.
I want to ask him why he did this to me...
and what he wants from me.
I have to see his face.
Come in.
Well,
which floor are you headed to?
Could you press the roof top?
Roof top.
37th floor.
Who are you?
Who are you sneaking into my room?
It's me.
Director Gi's secretary, Lee Eul Wang.
I know you recognize me.
I didn't sleep well last night.
By the way,
what are you doing here at this time?
Well we have the joint meeting next week.
I normally get your schedule from Gal Hee...
but now, I was having a little trouble with that.
I'm sorry about that.
I'll send it to you now.
I heard you put off the secretary interview.
I...
I have something to deal with.
I hope you find a secretary soon.
It'll be hard to work by yourself with the elections coming up.
(Employment contract Jeong Gal Hee)
Secretary.
Work experience.
Excuse me.
Why is he just passing by?
I should be hearing back today if I got the job.
What is it?
Money?
Did you finally see how I was living?
Did you finally decide to move me up the ladder?
Wow, it's a lot.
What is this?
I know you're fired...
and I order you to take some time off.
Rule one, have fun.
Rule two, have fun until you spend all of this money.
Blind Jeong!
What is this?
I wanted to handle it without a fuss...
but it turned out otherwise.
This is a blind person's handwriting...
not one of someone who can see.
Where do you get your money when you just loaf around all day?
No way.
Did you do that massage part-time again?
I told you to drop it.
I don't like it...
when you give people massages until you get bruises on your wrist.
Do you know why Nam Hee failed?
- Are you sure she failed? - Yes, because of you.
Me?
She wanted you to take a break.
For you to take a break from paying her tuition.
- I'm okay with myself. - Anyways,
use this money...
as if it were tissues.
How can it be a tissue?
It's your blood, sweat, and bruises.
You can't be helped.
Fine then.
Let's find someone else.
What are you doing?
You don't know what a blessing you have to be able to see.
Where is the tissue supposed to be...
You wouldn't dare.
As someone who's blind, you'd want to see that...
but I just can't stand to watch it.
Don't come back early.
Nam Hee...
thanks for your work.
Seriously.
I order you to take some time off.
Fine. Let's have some fun.
Have fun.
You don't think I can?
I'm spending it all today.
Really? Daehak-ro?
I'm so jealous of Gal Hee for being fired.
She can watch a play whenever she wants.
Gal Hee, I'm going with the director for dinner.
Of course.
The boss always wants you when you have plans with me.
But,
is it always this empty on weekdays?
Hello, Director Do...?
Hi, I'm here.
Seriously.
Did...
did you do this?
I didn't want to meet other people.
That's why...
people don't want to see you either.
Enjoy the play.
Wait.
I'm not here for the play.
Then what?
I came here to see you.
Me?
Why?
Congratulations, Secretary Jeong.
I decided...
to hire you back.
Go away!
You wanted to dedicate yourself to me and now you tell me to go away?
You fired me while smiling and now you say, "Congratulations"?
That was a mistake. Wait.
Tell me what you require.
I'll reflect most of them in the contract.
Then,
could I interview you?
What? Interview who?
Why did you come back for me?
Why are you hiring me back?
Just because...
after you left I realized...
that you were...
- that person. - That person?
What person?
What?
An important person?
A person you're thankful for?
Or a person...
you cherish?
A useful person.
Am I some useful loan?
Am I a useful automatic toilet?
How can you call someone "useful?"
Isn't it...
- a great compliment? - You use the word "useful"...
for a remote control.
A remote control that you throw away when it's broken.
Go your way.
I decided not to suppress it in anymore.
I'm...
on a vacation.
On a vacation?
Do you know why it's green?
It's because my brother...
got bruises making this money.
It's the hard-earned money...
that he gave me...
to enjoy a vacation!
I'm going to have so much fun.
I'll do whatever I want no matter what people say.
I'll say it as it is despite what anyone thinks.
I'll go to bed and wake up whenever I want.
Take care.
Good bye.
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E04 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Secretary Jeong's Holiday" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
This is the best!
Gather around, friends.
Do you want to go to Hawaii, Nam Hee?
What a joke.
What's wrong with you?
One, ten, hundred zeros...
How about we go somewhere closer like Jeju-do?
Are you here, fried chicken?
Director Do?
Can I have an interview?
Earlier,
I was too nervous to answer.
I'm so sorry to hear that...
but Director Do, you didn't pass.
- Is there any way I can redo it? - No.
- Seriously? - Don't get your expectations up.
How do I do that?
Having expectations...
all I can do.
Jeong Gal Hee.
I only see you.
All the faces have been erased...
from my head.
Even my mom and Dae Ju.
It's strange...
but I only see you.
Here, put that on top of this.
Jung Hee!
Then at the hospital...
They said it could get worse.
It might...
not get cured forever.
I can't tell if the people looking at me...
are smiling or crying...
or if they're my friends or enemies.
I can't see anything.
Jeong Gal Hee...
I really need you.
So, spend the vacation...
with me.
What is it?
A bribe.
Jeong Gal Hee...
I really need you.
Does he think...
this will sway me?
What are you two doing here?
Why?
What?
- You startled me. - She passed.
- What? - Jeong Nam Hee passed the exam.
Really? Really?
- Nam Hee! - Gal Hee!
Jung Hee! Gal Hee!
Are you happy?
Will you support me studying abroad?
What?
Life is constantly testing us.
I'm going to study abroad...
and leave my inferior background,
this cursed spirit,
and this low-class life behind.
I'll be an elite as you wished.
I'll return home in glory.
Thank you so much, Gal Hee.
Thank you so much.
Jung Hee.
A lifestyle with vacations?
A lifestyle of leisure?
That will never be accepted.
Our lives...
Our lives always have been hard.
Even a short break was not allowed to us,
secretaries of T&T Mobile.
But finally, we have our own break room.
- The first time in 43 years... - Without her,
contract workers like us...
would have never gotten this room.
Working with Chairman Do and Director Gi...
she's the only permanent secretary at T&T Mobile.
No wonder she's called the leader of the inferior...
and her nickname is Eul Wang Lee.
All those hard times...
- are finally over today. - Gal Hee really wanted...
to be a part of this opening ceremony.
If she comes back, it just proves that she's a lackey.
On this pleasant day,
let's make a toast.
Three moments of patience...
- may even prevent murder. - May even prevent murder.
Director Do.
Dae Ju, right?
Who am I if I'm not?
Stop messing with me.
At nine. I'll see you there.
I should tell you what I wanted to say.
Also,
I sent you a gift to your office.
Look forward to it. You'll love it.
Hello, Director Do.
You startled me.
What?
Are you back?
The current temperature in Seoul is 12 degrees Celsius.
Fine dust concentration is at 20mcg, which is pretty good.

Congratulations on coming back to me.
It must be him.

Is this guy...
him?
Okay, we got him.
Who is it?
He'll be working as your chauffeur starting today.
Nice to meet you, I'm Do Min Ik.
Nice to meet you, too.

Good luck.
