Once the trust between a boss and his secretary breaks,
you know what happens next.
Ms. Jeong,
you're fired.
An Unspeakable Secret.
(Episode 13: An Unspeakable Secret)
Have I ever told you...
why I helped you?
Do you know about arowanas?
I know very much about them.
It's said they bring good luck or whatever.
It's my dad's keepsake.
There was someone...
who cherished his fish more than his secretary.
How many times must I tell you?
I'm going to leave this fish to Min Ik.
I told you to do your best to take care of it.
- I'm sorry, sir. - I'm sorry, sir.
Save it at all cost.
The moment it dies, it'll be the end of you too.
Save it!
Goodness gracious.
(Chairman Do Wan Bae)
Yes, we're on our way right now.
Yes, we're at the intersection...
Hey.
Save it no matter what.
The moment it dies, it'll be the end of you too.
No!
His secretary died while trying to save his fish.
But the company...
didn't even recognize it as an industrial accident.
Because if they did,
it would be revealed...
that he made his secretaries work ridiculous hours...
and that he received the fish worth 100,000 dollars as a bribe.
That is why I switched that fish...
with another fish worth 10,000 dollars.
And...
- with the rest of the money, - Eul Wang.
Where did you get this money?
I paid for the tuition of my late colleague's son...
who didn't get any compensation.
I founded Euldoguk around that time.
Taking away dirty money from the powerful,
and giving it back to those who they mistreated,
No.
we raised funds by switching paintings with fake ones...
and collecting large sums of condolence money...
that were against the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act.
Secretaries and chauffeurs of T&T Mobile...
weren't allowed to take even a short break.
But finally,
- we've got a lounge for ourselves. - We used all the collected money...
to improve the treatment of temporary workers.
- That's how we made the lounge. - It's the first time in 43 years.
- So? - When I first heard about you,
- I'll call you again. - I couldn't turn a blind eye.
Let's hang up for now.
Darn it.
Hey.
How many times must I tell you not to eat in the car?
No, sir. You hate the smell,
so I never eat in the car.
Then what is this smell?
It's probably from the heating system.
Are you kidding me?
Do you think I can't differentiate the two?
You treat me like I'm a loser!
Hey!
(Eun Jeong Su)
I don't understand.
Why can't it be taken care of as an industrial accident?
CEO Shim...
is so mad that he wants to put you in jail for attempted murder.
I got a call from the Labor Welfare Corporation,
and he has stated that you caused the accident on purpose...
to take revenge on him for injuring your neck.
What?
What about me then?
How am I supposed to be compensated for my injured knee?
Hello?
Mr. Eun Jeong Su?
Who are you?
Ms. Mo Ha Ni told me about your story.
I'm Lee Eul Wang.
Euldoguk has calculated the amount of your six-month compensation.
It's 10,610 dollars in total.
I'm not sure...
if it's right for me to take this money.
Take it.
It's why I started this work.
In exchange for this money,
let me help Euldoguk in any way.
I'm not sure if there's anything.
I'll do whatever I can to help you.
Then will you take care of our ledger?
I feel uneasy keeping it at the company.
Of course. Let me take care of it, boss.
"Boss?"
This knife is for escaping a vehicle.
I've worked as a chauffeur since I was 20.
I've always carried it with me.
To protect my life...
in case something happens in the car.
One of my bosses...
once yanked my hair for always observing the traffic signal.
Another boss...
threw a cigarette butt at me...
for letting another car change lanes.
I want to serve someone who I can respect,
not someone with a high position.
Ha Ni said she'd leave the ledger at the office.
Wait here for a minute.
Did she go somewhere?
Where's the USB stick?
(Chief Director Gi Dae Ju)
Goodness, this punk. I told him it was classified.
Goodness.
Yes, boss.
I think the ledger is in Mr. Do's hands.
If he finds out about it...
You heard...
where he was headed, right?
He seems to be meeting Dae Ju at Han River.
Can you call Mr. Gi and lead him out of there then?
I'll go get the ledger.
You're here.
Well...
- I shouldn't have... - Who are you?
agreed to go get the ledger.
I want to turn myself in.
What?
I wanted to be of help,
but I made things worse.
Mr. Do saw the ledger,
so it's a matter of time until people find out about Euldoguk.
I'll just turn myself in...
and say that I was behind the ledger...
- and what happened to Mr. Do. - No.
The company and Mr. Shim are the ones...
who deserve punishment, not you.
But what if...
everyone at Euldoguk gets fired?
Because of me,
Mr. Do can't recognize faces anymore.
That isn't because of you.
It's his father's fault...
who hired temporary secretaries and chauffeurs to reduce labor cost.
It's Mr. Shim's fault...
who treated his secretary poorly.
I won't let Euldoguk receive any harm.
You should go rest a few days.
I'll call you once things get settled.
I'd ride an old car...
and drive along the Malecon in Havana.
Then I'd head to a salsa club...
and drink a glass of mojito.
It hurts!
Cuba? What about you talking about all of the sudden?
Go with your girlfriend if you're going to go.
What have you heard?
I told you my sad love story for about an hour.
The two women I loved...
were actually one woman.
That doesn't mean...
I can go to Cuba while leaving my patients behind.
Who should I go with then?
My secretary deceived me, and I suspected my friend.
And my family... Well...
I didn't have any from the beginning.
Look.
I can't go to Cuba with you, but I'll treat your scratch.
By the way,
the two women you loved turned out to be one,
so isn't that a good thing?
What?
That isn't the problem.
She must've had her reasons.
You should be siding with me, not her.
Okay, okay.
What a witch. She's such a horrible wench.
She deserves to be spat on. Are you satisfied?
Goodness.
I guess you didn't forget to take your medicine.
That is why it stopped there.
It would've been horrible otherwise.
Whatever, I'm going to leave.
This isn't the only place I can go to.
Is this...
the only place you can go to?
Here, take it.
I've gotten sick of it.
Yes, Mr. Park.
Do you have any other number with which you can reach Mr. Eun?
I see.
Please let me know if you reach him.
Okay, bye.
Who is it?
I heard briefly about it from the police.
He didn't seem like a bad guy when I met him.
Dae Ju, you resigned from the company,
so why don't we go to Cuba and learn some salsa?
Why would you go there?
The company's electing the next CEO in three days. Don't you know that?
Whatever.
I don't care.
And didn't you tell me that you saw the culprit?
How could you not recognize the one who stabbed you...
when he was your chauffeur?
That's...
I got hurt a little.
What?
You know the accident on the yacht.
I injured my head then.
The surgical clip from the surgery I had when I was seven...
slipped or something.
What?
You said you didn't get hurt.
- Dae Ju. - Yes?
- Dae Ju. - What?
I...
can't see...
your face.
What?
Your eyes,
your nose,
and your lips.
I can't see anything.
Perhaps...
Maybe,
I'll have to live like this for the rest of my life.
You took care of me ever since I was seven, that I was too sorry...
that I really...
didn't want to tell you that I'm sick again.
Min Ik.
You know what?
When you can't see people's faces,
you can't see their hearts either,
because you don't know...
what face expression they're making or what they're thinking about.
I'm sorry, Dae Ju.
I just...
couldn't tell you...
Should we go outside?
Why aren't you coming?
Are you coming a bit late today?
Why aren't you showing up today?
Ms. Jeong,
you're fired.
Gal Hee?
Why aren't you sleeping?
Jung Hee.
It's strange.
Mom isn't coming.
I think she hates me now.
I think Mom hates me...
because of what I did.
What do I do, Jung Hee?
What's wrong? Did something happen?
If I go see him tomorrow,
apologize to him,
and ask him for forgiveness,
will he forgive me?
I guess no one wants to see me anyone.
What are you talking about?
No matter how much I'm dying to see your face,
I just can't.
Who says they don't want to see you?
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E25 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "You're Fired!" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
(Three moments of patience may even prevent murder.)
As of today,
I declare the disbandment of Euldoguk.
What?
Why all of a sudden?
Is it because Mr. Do has the ledger?
We'll have to see how the situation goes,
but Mr. Eun is being chased by the police.
And it's around time Mr. Do makes a move too.
Even so,
this group is like our flesh.
Like I promised when you first joined the group,
I'll take the full responsibility if we get caught.
Whatever happens in the company,
you have nothing...
to do with me.
Euldoguk as well.
It was run solely by me.
Hey.
Didn't you tell me...
we should settle our girl issue?
Later.
I don't want to add pain in your heart...
when your head is already aching.
I told you.
I can't see your face,
so I keep misunderstanding you.
What is it?
- Veronica Park. - What?
I like her too.
You competent punk!
This was how you got the contract with Cine Park.
Hey, this isn't funny.
Well,
it's true that I liked Veronica,
but it turned out...
that she was a complete stranger.
What are you talking about?
It's a long story.
Can't you be miserable in a more creative way?
Must there be props like these?
You took off your neck brace.
Instead,
I'm wearing a back brace.
After mom hit me in the back, I couldn't stand straight.
It was only after this morning,
that I could finally stretch my back.
What did the chairwoman say...
about you dating Mr. Gi?
She hit me so hard,
that I don't really remember.
Confiscation of property, disowning,
and an urge to kill. I vaguely remember...
hearing these terms.
What about your boss? What did he say?
I got fired.
You're lucky you didn't get sued.
What should I do?
I want to go back...
and tell him that I'm really sorry.
Have you ever seen bossy, rich people on TV?
When you tell them "I'm sorry",
do they say, "Oh, is that true?"...
and go "I forgive you"?
Do they say that?
But I can't just do nothing...
Of course you should do something!
I also scream when my mother hits me.
The person hitting you feels better if you show some reaction.
Then what should I do?
When you can't think of anything,
this is the perfect thing to do.
What?
First,
you have to eat an outrageously expensive meal.
- A meal? - Yes.
"How can this be tiny dish be this expensive!"
"Isn't this crazy?"
Something so expensive that you say something like that.
Then, you buy pretty items...
that have no use at all.
Then, you watch a comedy show...
that makes you giggle out loud.
You go "Why am I here, when I got fired?"
It'd be so funny that you'll feel sorry for yourself.
Then you will know...
what you have to do.
Good luck.
See you!
Hello?
Did you just...
ask who I am?
It's nice to meet you.
I'm the original Veronica Park.
Hello.
Why did you want to meet me?
Well...
she is acting so pitiful that I can't watch.
She's staying in her room all day that it smells like a barn.
Her eyes are so swollen. I think she cried all day.
She look so...
If you're done talking, I'll take off now.
I told her to do it!
She started it...
but she couldn't end it because of me.
She wanted to tell you the truth even if it would end her career.
I stopped her by telling her that I could make you CEO.
It was me.
Why did you do that?
I wanted to date Gi Dae Ju.
And that was the only way.
If she didn't start it,
there would've been nothing you could have made her do.
She did all that because she liked you so much.
I understand why you're angry.
You can decide whether you want to forgive her or fire her.
But I want you to know this.
When you told her your feelings,
she was really happy.
She said she felt like throwing up,
because her heart was fluttering.
She injured her arm,
but she said it felt like she hurt her heart.
You said you resigned. Why are you showing up for work?
I didn't tell Lee Eul Wang yet.
I should tell her before my resignation is accepted.
But she seems to be in a bad mood lately.
Do you remember that file you found in your room?
Since it had your name in it,
I didn't want to ask around.
If you're okay with it, I want to send it to the audit team.
Okay.
Send the file to me as well, so I can take a look at it.
Okay.
You know,
about Secretary Jeong.
Are you going to keep ignoring her?
Why would I meet her?
You can't recognize faces.
How can you prepare for the directorate without her?
I can do it by myself.
Do Min Ik,
I saw it.
What?
I have less than an hour...
to spend time with you.
Her expression when she wanted to be with you, even for an hour.
This happens once in a lifetime for a person like me.
I don't want to end it like this.
Do you like Do Min Ik that much?
She wanted to stay beside you even as a secretary.
- It was evident in her expression. - I want to protect him.
If he doesn't see me as a woman,
I can just stay alongside him as his secretary.
Perhaps,
Secretary Jeong was telling you the whole time...
that she wanted to tell you the truth.
That she likes you.
But you didn't notice it, so you missed it.
I should go home.
You're nagging me so much.
Being in love is exactly that.
Even if you're disappointed or hurt,
you can still forgive that person.
Forgive her.
Just like how Secretary Jeong, who you fired,
also forgave you.
I'm home.
If you can't hold on to a woman, how can you lead a company?
I met Ms. Park, and I was so surprised.
Do you know who Veronica Park is dating?
Don't go to Gi Dae Ju because of that.
Please.
You knew this and let this happen?
Mom.
I can't eat peanuts.
What?
I have a severe allergy.
It seemed that you didn't know,
when we had that meal that day.
Why are you talking about peanuts right now?
If it were that important, you should have told me before!
I've already told you.
That's why I fainted during a picnic when I was in elementary school.
That's also why Gi Dae Ju carried me to the ambulance in high school.
It's also why we had to change the maid last year.
And it's also why Secretary Jeong had to bring me medicine.
All of it happened because of peanuts.
I told you,
every time.
Are you...
telling me how to be a mom?
No.
You don't have to care.
Luckily, I have people around me who can take care of me.
That's how I managed.
But,
you always told me.
If you want to play house, you have to do it properly.
You don't have to know when your son was born,
but you should at least know this.
I'm sorry I disappointed you.
But, I still...
love you, mom.
I know you hate me...
but please take this before you go to bed.
Forgive her? She didn't even send a text message...
saying that she's sorry.
Okay, let me start.
People do this when you have an arm injury.
- No! - What?
I can't cut this.
I can never cut this.
Could you cut it this way?
Okay.
Director Do...
He must be here for his regular checkup.
Is he having trouble eating?
Why does he look so thin?
The directorate's meeting is tomorrow...
Will he be fine by himself?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Director Do.
(Episode 26 will air shortly.)
First,
you have to eat an outrageously expensive meal.
Okay,
I should do at least something.
Hello.
Do you want to hang out with me?
You don't want to hang out with me either.
I'm a really bad person, don't you think?
What should I do?
You don't know?
Can I see Director Do again?
Can I really see him?
Sir, I want one of this, please!
This is going well!
Oh my!
The beggar came back again!
The dog chases him when he uses the front door,
and people kick him out when he uses the back door.
Really!
It's so funny.
You can't ignore hierarchy!
You?
Oh no!
Is this Pennsylvania to you?
I did this because I was sorry.
What?
You and Jung Hee had all these high expectations of me...
that I'd be the one to raise our family's economic status,
that I couldn't...
tell you I wasn't accepted.
Do you think that's an excuse?
I tried to tell you! I really did.
But as time went by, I became more afraid.
And no matter how much I went over it all,
I felt that you wouldn't forgive me.
Listen.
Who loves you the most in this world?
You might not love me the most,
but your brother and I love you the most.
Hiding is worse than lying.
There are only three of us in the family.
We have to keep seeing each other.
Even if you were afraid, you should have told us the truth!
You can't just hide.
Nam Hee,
repeat what I just said.
What?
Repeat what I just told you.
Hiding is worse...
than lying.
I love you the most.
We have to keep...
seeing each other.
I can't keep hiding.
Even if I'm afraid...
he loved me.
Tomorrow is the most important day for him.
What are you talking about?
I'm sorry I'm such a bad sister, Jeong Nam Hee.
I have some work to do.
I have to go.
You...
have to pack your things and come back home tomorrow.
Hey!
Jeong Gal Hee!
I already submitted the files.
The quarterly report...
and the current stock status.
Yes.
Should I give a call to the members of the directorate?
Director Do.
It's me, Secretary Jeong.
Don't you...
understand what "fired" means?
I know, but...
But I...
wanted to tell you something.
Just give me three minutes.
No,
just give me one minute.
Could you please listen?
Get out.
I don't want to listen to you.
Then, at least while you get your coffee.
Please, listen to me.
At first,
I wanted to sit on the chair you pulled out for me.
You might not understand this.
I always pulled out chairs for people throughout my whole life.
Just once...
I wanted to sit on that chair.
But...
actually,
I don't think it's because of the chair.
I was happy,
when you saw me as a woman...
during that time.
Even if the woman you loved...
was fake and not really me,
you still loved me.
I was so happy during that time that I couldn't stop.
I'm sorry.
Are you done?
I know what I did was unforgivable.
I know you hate me.
What is it you want to say?
Above all else,
tomorrow is really important to you.
You worked so hard for this day.
If I don't wear that,
you don't have to see my face,
which you hate so much.
Can't you imagine me as another secretary?
I won't ask you to see me as a woman.
I won't see you as a man either.
I just want to...
see you become CEO.
I will leave immediately after that.
Please let me be your secretary,
just until tomorrow.
Do you remember me saying...
that if you fool me,
I wouldn't be able to trust anyone for the rest of my life?
Go away.
This place...
is no longer for you.
Then, I'll wait outside!
If you need anything,
call me anytime!
A bonfire in June.
Isn't it too warm?
It's like the Sunshine Policy.
Why did you do it?
That policy eventually...
made you take off your jacket.
I'm talking about Secretary Jeong.
Tonight isn't going to be passionate either.
You've known it all along.
That's why you mentioned the love triangle...
when you hadn't even met Min Ik.
You're right.
I asked her to do so...
You'd better be prepared.
Tonight isn't going to be easy.
Who's she?
It's embarrassing,
but she's my mother.
Hello, Mrs. Park.
So this...
Gi Dae Ju...
or Gu Sae Ju something...
made you cancel...
your wedding with Director Do?
Mother.
Let's be civil...
and not hurt a guy's waist.
I can stand it if he had scoliosis...
or a damaged disk in his back.
But if...
your aggressiveness causes...
a little scratch on his waist,
I'll strike back.
What are you talking about?
She seems soft and delicate.
She doesn't seem aggressive at all.
Right.
Who's your father?
Mother.
I've already done all the research...
and I don't think...
you'd like...
what you'd hear about that.
You lied to his family and me...
that you were seeing...
Do Min Ik,
as if you had two bodies.
And now what?
You ended up with a guy with no future!
Mrs. Park.
You may think I'm not good enough...
I'll give you one month.
During that time,
you can burn all that wood...
with that passionate fire.
Let's leave marriage...
for someone who's on the same level.
Meanwhile,
I'll change Ms. Shim's mind,
whatever it may cost.
You saw...
the true nature of the rich.
You made Secretary Jeong do that...
because of me.
I'll try my best...
to measure up to her expectations.
Forget about...
her expectations.
From now on,
focus on meeting my expectations.
I have...
high expectations...
for you.
What kind of expectations?
I want you to be...
that kind of guy.
What kind of guy?
A competent guy?
No.
Then,
a diligent guy?
No.
A sensual guy.
I think I saw your potential...
at the premiere.
How about...
showing me...
your true talents?
[Kocowa Ver] SBS E26 'The Secret Life of My Secretary' "I'm Sorry, Director Do" -♥ Ruo Xi ♥-
Is that Secretary Jeong?
What's she still doing there?
Yes, Director Kim.
Okay, I'm coming.
Good.
Don't worry.
I'll see you at the meeting.
Okay.
Thank you so much.
So far, it's three to three.
How about Mr. Kwak and Ms. Yang?
They're both silent now.
They'll decide on it tomorrow.
What on earth is Gi Dae Ju thinking?
Mr. Shim, did you hear that?
I heard from Mr. Park at Cine Park...
that they signed and sent...
the exclusive rights contract a long time ago.
What?
But Mr. Gi...
didn't say anything.
What if...
it went to Do Min Ik?
No way.
Mr. Shim.
That's why he quit.
I won't let this slide.
Whether it's for embezzlement or leakage of information,
he'll be punished...
and won't be allowed in this industry again.
If he received it, it should be somewhere here.
(Human unfair but fate shall be fair.)
What's this?
Human unfair...
but fate shall be fair?
Yes, Mr. Shim.
I was reviewing the file from Director Do.
But it seems some of the company money was spent.
By who?
Do Min Ik?
No, Lee Eul Wang.
Who's Lee Eul Wang?
Director Gi's secretary.
What's weird is that...
it was spent on...
things like the waiting room...
and industrial accidents.
It seems that other secretaries are also involved...
besides Lee Eul Wang.
This is turning out to be a pyramid scheme.
See if Mr. Do has received any bribe.
Find out which secretaries are involved.
I'll fire them all.
I'm Lee Eul Wang.
It's you.
The leader of the theft.
I've never led anything.
I've done everything by myself.
I know...
there are more.
You can fire me or kill me.
The others didn't know what I was doing.
They're victims who were forced to do it.
I'm sorry,
but you don't fish...
to eventually let the carp go.
It's to stop...
the carp's breath.
Watch...
what happens to you.
There's no good being in my way.
Then,
how about I get you a carp instead?
What?
If I get you a carp so that you can serve another term,
will you let the pyramid scheme slide?
I can't even get the carp myself.
How would you?
Anyone who has a disability...
that affects the performance of his duties...
cannot be elected as a CEO.
Director Do Min Ik...
is with a serious medical condition.
Do Min Ik?
What condition?
Promise me...
that you'll only fire me and not the others.
Of course, you should take a look.
Yes.
Okay, I'll see you Mr. Yang.
Bye.
I have to recognize the executives' faces tomorrow.
I'm trying to memorize. Where's my note?
Did I leave it at the office?
She didn't even take her things.
She should've taken them.
Well,
she wouldn't need to wear this unless it's for work.
(Director Do, I'm so sorry.)
Maybe...
Ms. Jeong's been telling you...
that she wanted to confess...
that she liked you.
She said she wanted to throw up.
She had butterflies in her stomach,
that she felt like she hurt her stomach...
when she actually hurt her arm.
Please call me...
whenever you need me.
Is she gone or not?
She makes me worried.
Director Do.
It's me, Secretary Jeong.
Do you need anything?
Where...
Where's the notebook?
What notebook?
The notebook...
in which I wrote comments...
about the executives' faces.
I saw you leave it behind,
so I put it in my second drawer.
Okay.
Do you want me to get it?
Or do you want some snacks?
I can take you home if you're tired.
Do you think...
I'd feel sorry for you...
if you stay up here like this?
No.
I just thought...
you might be in urgent need of something.
Will one day...
be enough?
Pardon?
After one day tomorrow,
will you really go?
Yes,
I'll be happy with that.
I...
still hate you...
and I'm still mad at what you did.
But without you,
there's not one person...
that I can recognize.
So...
come to work...
wearing this...
tomorrow.
(The Secret Life of My Secretary)
Do you think I deserve to be CEO?
You don't know who made your mom die.
You should've told me.
You beg for your life...
even after what you did?
Whatever happens to you,
just let me know.
Who's Mr. Park among these people?
