What is it?
Why do I have to pretend to be you?
Wait.
President Park! President Park!
I will make your boss...
president.
What?
Wasn't it your ultimate goal?
To make your boss president.
If you successfully carry out the mission of playing me,
at the presidential election of TnT Mobile,
I will readily give my 100,000 votes to your boss.
Because of dishonesty.
(Episode 12: Because of Dishonesty)
I know I sound crazy.
I don't know if I can describe how I feel.
It's true that I liked Veronica Park.
It's also true that I tried to kiss you.
I liked both you and her,
which made me feel like a disgusting and stupid person.
I hated myself.
Still,
I thought choosing Veronica Park was the right thing to do.
She's the woman...
I fell in love first.
But...
while running here, I realized...
why I fell in love with her...
in the beginning.
It's because she was like you.
The way she massaged my hand was like you.
How she loved the coffee from a convenience store was like you.
Her lips smiling at me...
was like you too.
So...
This crazy man has come to a conclusion.
It's you, Jeong Gal Hee.
You're not saying anything.
It makes me nervous.
You know that I can't see your face or facial expression,
right?
Sir.
I'm sorry,
but could you give me...
some time to think?
Of course you need some time.
Yesterday, I created a scene,
saying I couldn't get over President Park and everything.
And now, here I am, saying all this. I understand you're confused.
Take your time.
Go back in and take some rest.
So...
is your brother coming?
It'll take 2 days and 1 night for him to get here.
I didn't even tell him I got injured.
He just thinks I'm working late today.
So you're going to be here alone with a broken arm?
I can leave the hospital tomorrow.
I'll just wash up briefly and go to bed.
Sir, I'm really okay.
You can't wash up with the broken arm.
Give me your hand.
Then, if you don't mind...
How do I wash your hand?
"Six steps for proper handwashing".
"Step one. Put your palms together and rub them."
Wait.
You're not going to follow all six steps, are you?
Can't you see?
It says, "If you don't wash your hands,"
"you'll have 260,000 more germs in just 3 hours."
Step two. "Grasp your hands together and rub them."
Can you please do it faster?
Let's move on to step three.
"Rub the palm of one hand with the back of your other hand."
The back of your hand?
The hospital may seem clean, but it's filled with germs.
On top of that, fine dust is a really serious issue these days.
So it's very important for us to wash our hands.
Step four. "Rub your thumb..."
"with the palm of your other hand."
Step five. "Clasp your fingers together..."
"and rub them together thoroughly."
Hey.
I know I failed to gain your trust.
So even if you tell me that you don't like me,
I won't have much to say to that.
No.
Don't say you don't like me.
I'll give you as much time as you need.
Director Do.
Let's talk about that later.
I know there's nothing I can do if you decide...
to reject me.
No.
Don't reject me.
You're...
a very positive person.
Right?
Step six isn't necessary, so you can go now.
I think you already killed all the germs.
Here.
I noticed people do this when they hurt their arms.
(Veronica Park)
I wonder if something happened.
6421.
The phone is turned off. You will be directed to voicemail.
- Please leave a message... - Why is his phone turned off?
No way.
He can't still be waiting for me.
Ok Soon.
Please let me change my name!
Are you okay?
I injured my neck, so that means I'm fine.
What?
I will never have to bow in front of anyone.
So now that it's in place, it actually suits me.
And it somehow feels stable...
That's my bag, right?
Oh, right.
Secretary Park told me to give it to you.
Your phone kept ringing inside.
(Gi Dae Ju)
Is everything okay?
Please contact me when you can. I'll be waiting.
Now that you've checked that I'm okay, you should go home.
Hey, Ok Soon. Ok Soon...
Hey!
Dae Ju.
Did you get hurt?
Why are you still waiting here?
What happened?
I was involved in a car accident.
But it's nothing serious.
The doctor said I'll be fine if I wear this for a couple of days.
Anyway,
from now on, if anyone doesn't show up after five hours,
just curse them and leave.
Don't wait until they show up.
You're the one who should've taken some rest...
if you got hurt...
regardless of whether someone's waiting for you or not.
You're so foolishly nice.
Don't ever come running like this again.
Weren't you supposed to tell me today...
if you're going to choose me or Min Ik?
What should I do?
I'm really having a hard time...
deciding on whom I should choose.
I'd appreciate it if you'd hurry up.
It bothers me that I can't talk to my friend.
And it also bothers me that this keeps happening...
every time we meet.
Okay, fine.
Then let's see.
I don't think it's Do Min Ik.
No.
You're not the one either.
Bye, then.
I'm... I'm not the one?
Are you leaving right now?
I told you, didn't I?
I always say "hello", but I never say "goodbye".
This is absurd.
I thought you had feelings for me.
Was I mistaken?
I admire...
the fact that you don't get intimidated by me.
And I like how you foolishly waited for me for five hours.
And more importantly, I respect you for having grown up so well...
even when you grew up with no parents.
But there's just one thing that bothers me.
What's that?
You're too chaste.
Then you'll like everything about me now.
[VIU Ver] SBS E23 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Love is in the Air" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Ms. Lee, how much longer do we need to wait?
Is Gal Hee really coming?
Ms. Lee, I don't think I can make it to the gathering...
because I got into a car accident.
I didn't get badly injured, so you don't need to worry.
I'll call you back tomorrow.
She got into an accident on her way here.
What?
Fortunately, she didn't get badly injured.
I really wanted to make Gal Hee join our group today.
Why? Is there something wrong?
To be honest, there's something...
I need to tell you guys.
How am I going to tell her?
Gal Hee.
Here you are.
Did your boss leave?
I have something to tell you, President Park.
Do you need money?
I told you that I'll pay for your hospital fee.
Director Do...
told me that he likes me,
not Veronica Park.
He told me that he likes me, Jeong Gal Hee!
My neck...
Why am I happy about this?
Thank you for being happy for me.
To be honest, this is the first time...
someone ever told me that they like me.
How did it feel? Did it feel nice? Were you happy?
"The reason I fell for Veronica Park was..."
"because she was like you."
As he said that,
I wasn't even sure if I hurt my arm or my heart.
My heart kept pounding.
I felt nauseated...
and dizzy.
Me too.
He said, "You will like everything now."
And like a salmon that goes up a river, into my mouth...
What?
I'll write the rest of it in my diary.
Just continue.
So...
I decided.
You said you'd make Director Do the president.
I refuse the offer.
You don't want him to be president?
Of course I do.
But I believe...
Director Do will be able...
to become president without help from anyone.
What if...
he doesn't forgive you?
Even if he doesn't,
I think I should tell him the truth...
and apologize first.
Okay.
Good luck.
Thank you.
Thank you, President Park.
Can I talk to Director Do tomorrow then?
Let's do this.
I'll dump him first.
- You will? - We had a deal.
Once I start a serious relationship with Dae Ju,
I will end things with your boss.
Are you going to be okay?
Tomorrow evening at six.
After I, Veronica Park, have it out with Ms. Park Seok Ja,
you, Veronica Park,
will tell him the truth.
Okay?
Okay.
Let's meet again alive.
Okay.
I should've told you sooner,
but I couldn't do it because...
Right.
Because I came to like him.
I should be honest.
Before I knew it,
I came to like you.
It's Director Do.
I haven't told him yet. Is it okay to answer it now?
Hello?
Hey. Well... Were you sleeping?
Not yet.
What's the matter?
Well...
I've been in the hospital alone before.
I know the place makes you...
feel lonely and melancholy at night.
So I thought I should have a talk with you.
I'm not...
used to things like this though.
If you don't like talking on the phone,
I can come over to see you. What do you think?
No.
No?
Well... Actually,
I didn't mean to go there for real.
I was just saying that.
- Director Do. - Yes?
Director Do.
What?
So it wasn't a lie, was it?
You like me, not President Park.
And you called me so I don't feel lonely.
Is the whole thing true?
Why?
Do you think I'm lying?
Yes. It feels like a lie.
I've spent all my life worrying about...
and taking care of others.
Having someone like me and care about me.
I'm not used to it.
From now on, I'll do the whole thing.
I'll care about you,
and like you.
Oh, right. I'll make coffee for you.
Now that you say it,
I feel so nervous.
Well...
I should go to sleep then.
You should sleep too.
Okay.
Take good care of yourself. Rest well.
Why is she feeling nervous?
Is she worried if I'd go back to Veronica Park?
All right. I should break up with her first.
(Are you feeling okay? I have something to tell you.)
(Can I see you for a moment tomorrow?)
Are you feeling okay?
I have something to tell you.
Can I see you for a moment tomorrow?
He will be really shocked.
I heard you came by.
I'll leave the hospital tomorrow. What about Seoul Park at eight?
I have something to tell you too.
So Ms. Lee's plan was...
to have Gal Hee join us.
But Gal Hee's not coming to work. What do we do now?
Why did she get hurt just now?
It would've been nice if she could tell us how Director Do is doing.
Excuse me.
Gosh, I'm startled.
Director Do.
Would you please tell me how to make coffee?
- Pardon? - What?
Why do you want to know that?
Once Gal Hee comes back, she will do it for you.
Secretary Jeong...
isn't here to make some coffee.
Well... I just mean...
But why are you yelling at me?
Secretary Jeong hurt her arm.
She needs to get enough rest.
And I think a man in his mid 30s should know...
how to make his own coffee.
And sometimes,
I might want to serve coffee to someone.
I'll teach you.
This way.
Turn on the power first.
Once it blinks...
What is Ms. Lee going to do now?
I hope she has a plan.
I'm so sorry...
about my daughter.
Is something wrong?
You barely came to see me these days.
Something didn't feel right,
so I told Min Ik to meet President Park.
What did he say? Did they meet?
I haven't heard from him since then.
Ms. Sim. Would you have dinner with me tonight?
Dinner?
Yes, Mom.
If you don't have any plan tonight,
will you have dinner with me?
What?
Only you and me?
Why? You don't want it?
I just think this is the first time.
I have a plan tonight though.
I guess I can stop by. I'll see you there.
If you hear a scream, come inside in three seconds.
And have an ambulance ready in front of the hotel.
Yes, ma'am.
Did you call me to show how much you can drink?
You said we'd be eating together. What are you doing?
You'd better have a glass of it in advance.
In about 10 minutes,
you will feel like drinking anyway.
If you don't want to have a broken body part in about 15 minutes,
you'd better stop it.
Mother.
I, Veronica Park,
will make a big announcement now.
I, Veronica Park...
What?
I, Veronica Park, am...
- seeing another man... - Hello.
Oh, my. Hi.
Oh, no.
Ms. Sim.
What brings you here?
I'm spending some time with my son,
and I heard you were here.
I heard you were injured. Are you okay, President Park?
President Park?
What are you doing? Say hello to her.
Right.
Hello.
Hello, President Park.
Hello.
Come take a seat.
If you were going to eat with your son anyway,
we might as well eat all together.
Shall we?
I...
I actually have something to say to President Park.
Could you please excuse us...
for a moment?
Oh, my. Did she cause some trouble again?
No, it's not her. It's me...
You brat. What did you do?
Why are you shushing him?
Excuse me. No matter what it takes,
I'm going to do something about either 1 of the 2.
If she made trouble like the last time,
I will give her a good scolding.
If she didn't, I will set the wedding date.
So if you want to say something, you should say it here.
Your food is ready.
Good.
Come on, Chairwoman Park.
President Park doesn't make trouble.
Please calm down.
It's out first time to spend some time together.
How about we take a seat and have some food first?
Hi, Nam Hee. I just wired the money.
Hey, it's okay to be a few days late.
You don't have to be so punctual. It makes me feel uncomfortable.
I sent some extra this month,
so eat some steaks. You're in the States after all.
And make sure to stay healthy.
I think you're the one who should eat well.
What's wrong with your voice?
Did something happen?
Hey, Nam Hee. Come mop here.
I'm sorry. I have to go to the class.
Sure. I'll call you later then.
I'm coming.
Hello.
How do you want to cut your hair?
I just want it to look neat.
I have an important appointment today.
Please wait here for a second.
Mom.
This will be the last time I look like this.
What if...
Director Do doesn't forgive me?
Gal Hee.
You can't run away to a paradise.
You know it because you've been there.
You know how miserable it was...
to live as a different woman.
Tell him about your feelings just as you prepared.
Then...
he will understand.
(Episode 24 will air shortly.)
She's so talkative...
that she already started talking before she babbled.
But why are you so silent now?
I'm sick.
Is it serious?
You had a car accident on the way to the concert to see me.
It made me feel bad.
Concert?
Secretary Park said you were on the way to a preview.
I was going to go to the concert...
Did you lose your voice?
Do you want me to make a hole for you?
I was going to go to the concert first...
and then to the preview.
President Park's voice sounds weird today. It must be the injury.
Code blue. Your boss is now...
Mother.
Do you want me to...
crush your fingers too?
You're eating with elders here. Have some respect.
All business people are like that.
Where did it go?
Let me try calling you.
Don't do it. Don't do it.
It won't ring.
Stop it.
Director Do, don't bother.
You don't have to, Mother.
I think I put it on mute.
9013...
Isn't your phone number 9013?
No, it's 8618.
You know...
I have more phones than fingers, don't you?
What are you talking about?
I have all your numbers.
Look. Ok Soon 1, Ok Soon 2, Ok Soon 3...
Mother.
Let him eat first.
Eat this and try this too.
Please help yourself.
It has peanuts on it.
Yes. Don't you like peanuts?
Oh, no!
Did you spit out everything? Here.
Rinse your mouth. Hurry up.
Why...
Peanuts!
Well...
Awesome.
It looks like you love peanuts.
Oh, my. Min Ik!
Why did he storm out? That was so rude of him.
Follow him.
Min Ik, are you okay?
Min Ik.
Do you have an upset stomach?
What's wrong with you all of a sudden?
Hey.
I think we need to talk.
What if I do have an upset stomach?
What?
What will you do if I tell you that I have an upset stomach?
What are you talking about?
I actually have an ambulance waiting in front of the hotel.
Would you like to go to the hospital?
Can you massage my hand?
What?
Like this?
Go down. Go down.
It shall go down as if there's oil in it.
Stop bothering my girl and go down immediately.
Who are you?
Well...
The thing is...
(Veronica Park)
I'm sorry I couldn't pick up.
I'm in front of the carousel.
Where are you?
So you're telling me...
that you're...
in front of the carousel?
Min Ik, please hear me out first.
No.
I'll...
be right there.
Min Ik. Min Ik.
My gosh, what am I going to do?
(Director Do, I'm really sorry.)
"I didn't intend on lying to you from the very beginning."
"But I unintentionally ended up falling for you."
"And I wanted to keep seeing you."
"I wanted to keep seeing you."
Let's not get nervous. Let's just take it slow.
Let's just do as I practiced and tell him how I truly feel.
Director Do.
Your neck...
Did you eat peanuts?
My gosh.
Are you really...
Veronica Park?
How did you know that I'm allergic to peanuts?
Your secretary.
Your secretary told me.
I thought you were Veronica Park for a second.
It's me, Secretary Jeong.
What if I'm also lying to you?
What if it turns out that I'm hiding something from you?
This Band-Aid isn't very common, is it?
Number 99? This belongs to Veronica Park.
What's this doing here?
Secretary Jeong.
Is that you?
Director Do, let me explain.
It's not you, right?
It can't be you.
I met that woman so many times.
So all those times I spent with her,
you were actually lying to me?
That can't be true.
That's impossible.
I'm sorry, Director Do.
I'm sorry.
Why?
Why did you do that?
Why did you do that to me?
I never meant to deceive you.
President Park was late.
And the food at the restaurant looked so delicious.
At first, it was just a joke.
A joke?
This illness I have is devastating to me.
But you thought of it as a chance to joke around with me?
No, that's not what I meant.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Director Do.
It must've been fun.
What?
Since your boss can't see people's faces,
you were a secretary by day...
but was able to become a totally different person at night.
You were able to witness your swell-headed boss...
get excited...
and become desperate for love.
I can only imagine how fun it must've been for you to see me...
hopelessly fall in love.
No, that's not true.
It wasn't fun at all.
I didn't even know any of this, so I even got a CT scan...
because I thought I was crazy.
And I even resented my late father for a while.
I told you why I had a hard time trusting my secretaries.
And I even told you that I won't ever...
be able to trust anyone if you also ended up deceiving me.
How could you do this to me?
I'm sorry.
Director Do.
Let go of me.
I told you to let go.
I know you hate me right now.
And I know I made a mistake.
Eat this before you sleep.
What is the matter with you?
You suddenly left while you were eating.
And I couldn't even get ahold of you.
And why did President Park say she doesn't want to get married?
Are you not listening to me?
Min Ik!
How did it go? Did you tell him?
Did he forgive you?
I didn't say anything.
As I saw...
Director Do's angry face,
I was so scared, terrified, and sorry.
All the words I prepared just vanished into air.
"I'm sorry."
"It's all my fault."
That's all I could say.
You practiced it all through the night.
He got hurt even more than when he found out he can't recognize faces.
But I...
didn't even think about how it'd feel like...
to be deceived by someone like me.
I was...
just flattered to hear that he likes me.
I just felt on top of the world.
I wanted to help him, but I only broke his heart.
What do I do, Mom?
What am I going to do now?
[VIU Ver] SBS E24 'The Secret Life of My Private Secretary' "Because of Dishonesty" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Mr. Do Min Ik.
Does he have prosopagnosia or what?
I'm a cop.
- Police? - Okay.
What are you doing here?
Did you find Eun Jung Su?
No. We're here to find Gi Dae Ju, not Eun Jung Su.
Dae Ju?
Yes, Boss. There's something I need to report to you.
- Mr. Eun. - We checked the CCTV footage...
from the crosswalk and the convenience store just in case.
The person Eun Jung Su met right before he disappeared was...
Gi Dae Ju.
Why? Are you going to say that we're suspecting a wrong person?
Dae Ju?
11:53pm?
He was already there when you arrived.
Are you for or against it?
I'm for it.
(Pennsylvania, Gi Dae Ju)
Dae Ju?
Why is Dae Ju's name in this file?
Mr. Do Min Ik.
Where is Gi Dae Ju now?
Well... I'm sorry,
but can I talk to him first?
Why are you staring at me like that? I feel shy.
All right.
I thought we should settle the girl problem here.
Eun Jung Su.
What?
How do you know him?
Why are you talking about him all of a sudden?
I asked how you know him.
I thought I should tell you this.
You heard it from President Sim, right?
That Mr. Eun was his driver.
What?
The thing is...
I should find a new driver.
That's good.
I heard my former driver's father passed away.
So I'm going to the funeral. I'll find one there.
Do you remember that?
You asked me to find a new driver for you saying it's urgent.
Mr. Park.
Do you know any driver who can start working right away?
Director Do Min Ik needs a new driver.
I don't know. Would there be anyone?
Everyone I know is employed now.
Well...
I met Mr. Eun that day at the funeral.
He once woke me up and asked me to pick him up in the dead of the night
You know your uncle. He fires people so easily.
I heard he got fired for an unfair reason.
He said he was looking for a job.
It's not easy to find a new job.
Director Do Min Ik of our company is looking for a driver.
Would you mind working for him?
I'd be grateful to work for him.
But...
can you please not tell him...
that I was President Sim's driver?
They are family.
He might be uncomfortable hiring me.
That's why I couldn't tell you sooner.
When we ran into each other at work,
we just exchanged greetings.
Did you meet him?
I just said hi to him.
So what about Mr. Eun?
Is that it?
Should there be something else?
The day you went to the funeral.
Why did you meet him at the convenience store?
Do you shadow me or what?
Just answer the question.
We just happened to meet.
I went to buy some socks, and I met everyone there.
Director Choi, Assistant Manager Park,
and other employees who came to buy some cigarettes.
Does it make you upset?
You really don't know?
On the day I had the accident there,
the one who stabbed me there...
was Eun Jung Su.
What are you talking about? That's ridiculous.
You had the accident even before I met Mr. Eun.
Then Mr. Eun tried to kill you, met me at the funeral,
and got a job as your driver?
Do you think it makes sense?
What if...
it's not that you met him at the funeral for the first time?
What?
What if it is that you've known him the whole time?
I told you.
I just borrowed the phone that day.
Thank you.
It was so dark that I could barely see his face.
So...
are you...
suspecting me now?
Is that why you called the police?
Gosh.
Come to think of it, there's one thing I lied to you about.
When you were seven, on your birthday...
Here. Take it.
I'm sick of it now.
Really?
I wasn't sick of it at all.
I wanted to play with it every day.
But you seemed to like it.
I lied that I was sick of it because you seemed to want it.
I had no idea you'd treat me like this over 20 years later.
Mr. Gi Dae Ju.
May I take you to the police station?
Okay.
My gift is always too good for you, right?
(Exclusive Run Contract of TnT Mobile and Cinepark)
With this, you will make the president with no problem.
Now that I've completed my mission, I'll hand in my resignation today.
Salute.
Hello, Boss.
Hello, sir.
Have you taken your medication?
Just in case,
I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Gu.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what else to say.
I understand how you feel better than anyone and...
Do you know what it is like...
to not be able to see others' faces?
It feels like seeing a sign called human turning off.
You can't see what you have to see.
You can't read...
what you have to read.
It makes you doubt your friend you trusted.
It makes you believe people who try to harm me.
Sometimes,
I'm not even sure who I am.
To me...
Jeong Gal Hee, you were...
the only person.
Once the trust between the boss and the secretary breaks,
you know what happens.
Jeong Gal Hee.
You're fired.
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
Sir, it's me. Secretary Jeong.
Don't you know what "fired" means?
You should leave. There's no place for you here.
I want you to know this one thing.
She was so happy when you confessed your feelings to her.
What is this?
Find all the secretaries related to this. I'll fire them all.
Director Do Min Ik is suffering from a serious illness.
