(Director Jang Sung–ho's house, Seocho–gu, Seocho–dong)
Mr. Jang.
Mr. Park, what brings you here?
I came to receive good energy from Mount Umyeon along with you.
Today is a Sunday. Why didn't you stay home to get some rest?
–You have to be at work tomorrow. –I'm fine.
I only had good food since when I was a kid, so at the least, I'm very fit.
Really? You're very diligent unlike people of this age. Looking great.
My diligence is comparable to a minor minnow...
...in the streams of Mount Umyeon compared to how diligent you are.
Let's go. I'll escort you.
You look as if you're ready to climb the Himalayas.
I'll follow you...
...to the end of the universe, not just the Himalayas!
Sounds great. Okay. Let's go.
–I'll take your backpack. –Don't.
–I'll take it. –My gosh. Come on.
–Okay. –Man.
(Episode 3: Your Paycheck Is Compensation for the Weight of Trouble You Bear)
[K-Plus Asia ver.] I Hate Going to Work E03 Ripped & Synced by ordinaryguy92
Hello? Speaking.
–Yes. –My gosh.
I hate that guy.
Some people have all the luck.
How did he end up with a huge project as soon as he was transferred here?
That's not his project. Mr. Choi practically had it all done,
but he snatched it away.
Gosh, my stomach hurts.
Mr. Park, that's not exactly right.
Anyone can see that Mr. Choi is just tagging along for the ride.
Anyway, bad news, Mr. Park.
You can't boss around Yu–jin anymore.
Mr. Kang took him away because she's good at her job.
Hey, are you happy?
Pardon? What?
You always overhear everything,
yet you always say, "Pardon? What?"
What can he do with these newbies?
Goodness, there's no way the project will be a success.
Gosh, my stomach is upset.
You need to start drinking less.
You went hiking with him on your day off,
then you humored him with makgeolli after you climbed down. You're so devoted.
No one is going to appreciate that.
You have no idea. Mr. Jang adores me.
You and your arrogance won't last long.
Let's see which one of us will be the one to laugh last.
In the morning, Mr. Jang and Mr. Choi...
...usually drink green tea instead of coffee.
If the water is too hot, they will go insane––
They will be angry, so boil the water beforehand.
Mr. Jang likes wagashi,
but if there are none, you can serve red bean jellies instead.
Not the ones you find in a grocery store.
There is this handmade kind that he always asks for.
Check beforehand and keep them in stock.
Now, cookies.
Place the cookies in the middle.
Put the cookies with chocolates...
...in front of Mr. Choi and Ms. Yang's seats.
Why?
Do you want to say, "Do I have to do something petty like this?"
No, it's not that.
–May I take a picture? –What?
My picture? Why?
No, of the table.
Oh, sure. Go ahead.
Anyway, Ms. Lee. Your hairpin is crooked.
I saw it.
Isn't that partial hair loss?
It was about this big.
It's my first time seeing a bald spot on a woman's head.
Yu–jin, it must've been quite a lot of work to prepare all this.
–Thank you for the food. –Sure.
What is this? Is this everything?
–What? –Isn't there any latte?
Don't you know I drink lattes when my stomach is upset?
You still don't know anything about me.
Sure, I'll bring it.
You know that I have a sensitive stomach.
Don't use just any old milk. Use the one that I left in the fridge.
What's with her hair? Is that her look?
Why did she put that on?
He's lactose intolerant by nature.
So he only drinks lactose–free milk.
But he always chugs down latte when we have coffee.
The most awful thing is...
...that I know way too much about Mr. Park.
Like how he has diarrhea exactly 20 minutes after he drinks milk.
Why do I have to know these things?
I made it in four to one ratio, your favorite way.
Why didn't you do this before?
Start doing these things before I tell you to.
Okay.
You can all sit. I'm a nobody.
Take a seat.
Like I announced, we will be having an in–depth discussion...
...about an issue that will determine the future...
...of the Sales and Planning Department of One Dozen.
Let us freely share any ideas you have about how we should approach...
...Ms. Yoon Hee–soo of M Bookstore,...
...the person in charge of this project.
I believe we should first find out what her character is like.
From what I heard, she prefers the Nordic–style.
Why don't we use the warm yet modern...
...Scandinavian style––
Gosh, Ms. Yang.
Nordic style went out of fashion long ago.
I thought Ms. Yoon hates to be behind in style.
Let's just go with retro. She also liked the new guy's new–tro idea.
Retro seems a bit too broad.
Why don't we go with the kinfolk style? The country thing is apparently in style.
Then why don't we mix two or three of the good ideas?
You know, like hybrid.
People say that a lot nowadays.
My gosh, Mr. Choi.
I completely agree with Mr. Choi.
Recently, things have been...
...selling better when you mix two or more things.
I mean, think about the fish–shaped bun.
Instead of just putting in red beans,...
...you know, if you add cream cheese or butter,...
...they get sold much faster.
One second. Could you please...
...speak a little more slowly?
Please start again with the Scandinavian style.
–I'll do it. –Wait, it's fine.
Ms. Yoon is a type who gets touched with the smallest details.
I mean, she probably is that type.
I'm saying...
...she's probably like that according to what I found out.
So? What do you suggest that we do?
Why don't we focus on making it comfortable and cozy...
...and add some details on top of that?
It's a good idea to use many products from M Bookstore.
Mr. Kang, you found out a lot of information...
...about Ms. Yoon within such a short period of time.
Do you know her well from the past?
Yes. What? No.
–What? –What?
I was just joking. It's a joke.
–Oh, you were joking. –You surprised me.
–I was really surprised for no reason. –Okay, now.
So it's comfort...
...and cozy, with details.
Let's wrap this up with that. Is that okay?
–Yes. –Yes.
Why don't we get energetically started by shouting our motto?
–Sounds great. –On the count of three,
it's "One Dozen, One Dozen, we can do it!" Okay, hands in.
–Come on. –Okay.
One, two, three.
–One Dozen, One Dozen, we can do it! –One Dozen, One Dozen, we can do it!
Did you ask if that was a concept meeting for our diary?
They want to focus on comfort and coziness while adding some details...
...to make Ms. Yoon's desk.
That was the topic of that meeting.
Let's say her desk is put this way.
Office supplies, cushions,
and slippers, new guy, are you writing these down?
–Oh, yes. –And a wrist cushion too.
Right, let's leave her a phone charger too.
Tell her to bring those things. Why are we concerned about that?
Didn't you hear what he said? She gets touched about the details.
After we decorate her desk, don't you think it'll look...
...much better than Mr. Choi's desk?
The sunlight comes in through the window,
so a few cactuses might help her desk look prettier.
–Right? –Instead of cactuses,
we should go with foliage plants. Her seat is really sunny.
Pull yourselves together!
We come to the office to work, not to do these things.
And that Yoon Hee–soo is absurd.
Does she think she's our boss? How dare she tell us to give her a desk?
She should just bring a laptop and sit anywhere.
Enough is enough!
It's not like she gives us our paycheck.
–Gosh. –Unbelievable.
He even makes kimchi and brings it to the director.
And that's not all.
He went to the director's mother's funeral,...
...the director's in–law's marriage, and even his niece–in–law's first birthday.
He looks after all of his family affairs.
I think about that every day.
"Do I have to do something so petty for my paycheck?"
"Is this why I began working here?"
But what's weird is...
...those who are the best at doing the pettiest tasks...
...end up surviving the longest.
No, we cannot make it like this.
Why do you keep saying that you can't do it?
Because you put together the most expensive materials.
The eco–friendly materials and concept that you mentioned are...
...all very great.
But who's going to buy this?
Would you buy a diary...
...that is this expensive?
That's why I'm telling you...
...that we should try to lower the price as much as we can...
...while keeping the quality at this level.
Let's just go back to the new–tro concept.
–That's more cost–efficient–– –You really have no idea, do you?
People don't just buy products nowadays.
Consumers in this age want to purchase...
...the story, philosophy, and values behind a certain product.
Why don't you know that?
Am I wrong, Yu–jin, Ji–won?
You do not do business with ideals.
Let's look over the cost one more time before we finalize the concept.
Fine, then.
I have to stop by my company for a second.
Let's discuss the rest in the afternoon.
Yu–jin, Ji–won, great work. You two can go.
I'll clean up the rest.
–Okay. –Okay.
If it's okay with you, why don't we eat lunch together?
Was I not supposed to say that?
I wanted to have an open–minded chat between the ones in charge of this project.
Let's have an open–minded chat during our meetings.
Nothing good can happen if people catch us meeting outside of work.
Why do you care about other people?
If there's nothing between us, it's okay.
Yoon Hee–soo.
Our company is conservative.
I advise you as a senior from your school.
Do not do anything that will cause a misunderstanding. Please.
Are you sure that's advice as my senior from school?
Aren't you just being nosy as an ex–boyfriend?
Okay, fine. Forget about lunch.
But no matter how much I think about this,...
eco–friendly is much better than new–tro, Mr. Kang.
Yes, we dated back in college.
Was it 10 years ago? Or has it been about 11 years now?
It has been so long, so I don't remember.
Oh, why did we break up?
I don't really remember that either. It has been way too long.
You should ask Mr. Kang Baek–ho.
No comment.
I have nothing to say.
Did she really say she doesn't remember why we broke up?
You're asking me...
...to do this?
Yes, that's the concept of the diary that we're pushing,
but M Bookstore does not seem to be convinced.
Can you pick out and list only the suppliers who can drop the price...
...below what's written on that report?
I was going to try to do it,...
–but I couldn't find a way. –Of course, you couldn't.
You can't sit around punching in numbers into a calculator to find a way around this.
It would be hard to make a deal...
...even if you sat around having a drink with the suppliers all night long.
How can you be in charge of a project if you don't know the basics?
Exactly. You're the expert on this,
so please look into it. Do give me a hand.
I can't.
–What? –I mean,...
you were so confident about how you can manage the private label project alone.
You cannot do this now.
If you couldn't manage this, you shouldn't have begun.
And I have work to do too.
You can't just dump your job on me.
Don't say that.
How is a boss giving work to one of his subordinates...
...dumping the boss's job to him?
A boss?
His subordinate?
Did I just hear you right?
–Hey! –You did hear me right.
And I've been meaning to tell you.
Have manners when you speak to me.
You shouldn't call me, "Hey."
Darn it, this is unbelievable.
–What about it? What about "hey"? –Mr. Park.
–That's enough. –Mr. Choi, didn't you hear him?
My gosh, unbelievable.
Quiet.
Go do what Mr. Kang told you to do and turn it in quickly.
Mr. Choi.
Be quiet. Go do your job.
Why don't you pick up my calls? You read and ignored my texts too.
You've changed, man.
We were like friends...
...only up until I became a secretary.
You can't keep annoying me like this.
I'm a man of position in the company.
Does your wife know...
...that I have about a terabyte of data from your darkest time in the past?
I–– I really––
I really have no idea.
How can a mere president's secretary know what's going on in your department?
Then do you know that I know your wife's number?
Goodness, come on.
This is driving me insane.
–This is off–the–record. –Okay.
Be a part of the M Bookstore project.
Sales and Planning Department is like an isle that's sinking.
People who don't get on the boat will sink with the isle and die.
So lift up your flag and get on the ship.
Okay? As soon as possible.
Darn it. Why are you telling me this now?
Stop shocking me. I shouldn't be so nice to you.
My gosh, what's with you, Dong–hyun?
–Goodness. –Hey! Darn it.
Excuse me.
About the data you asked me to put together.
When is the deadline?
I gave this a thought...
...and concluded that I should give you a hand.
If the M Bookstore project goes well,
it's great news for our department,
and it's great for our company too.
Do you really think so?
Of course, I have a lot of interest in that project.
I really want it to be a success.
While we're on the subject, why don't I join the––
Thanks for the offer, but it's okay.
–What? –Come to think about it,
I understand how you could have been offended.
You shouldn't understand me that easily.
You must have a lot on your hands with all of your tasks.
You don't have to mind M Bookstore project from now on.
But I can still organize the data and––
Oh, that?
Mr. Jung is going to help me out.
Mr. Jung?
I'm sure I can do it better than him.
We'll manage between us.
You must be busy. You should go back to your seat...
...and get to work.
Okay.
Get to work.
Darn it.
Yu–mi, it's me. Do you know a thing or two about desks?
Yes. Uh–huh. Right.
It's finally my turn to shine.
Hello, I'm Kang Yu–mi, a desk decorator.
Manager Park Sang–wook called...
...and asked me to decorate a desk in his office.
This empty desk must be Ms. Yoon Hee–soo's desk.
People that are easygoing tend to like cute little decorations.
And now that spring is in the air,
let's decorate the entire desk in pink.
That's not all. You must have a single–person humidifier...
...to keep your skin...
...from getting dehydrated.
(A single–person humidifier is a must)
To love your wrist is to love your company.
An extra–soft wrist cushion is a must.
A smartphone cradle is a must too.
Come on, that's not enough.
–Aren't you Mr. Kim Young–man? –I am.
–Goodness. –This is amazing. Hello.
Hello, my little booger friends.
Goodness, kids.
How is everything at work?
It's really tough. It's really tough to make a living, Mr. Kim.
Goodness, I'm sorry.
I'm going to make a few things...
...to decorate Hee–soo's desk.
–Okay. –Should we go make something?
–Yes. –Let's go!
Let's go!
First of all, in an office,...
...there are rockets...
There are a lot of rockets in an office.
–Sockets? –Sock––
–These things. You plug in everything... –Yes.
...and dust can get in here too. It looks awful, doesn't it?
–It looks really messy. –You're right.
That's why we're going to make an animal–shaped cover...
–...for these socket extensions. –Wow.
First of all, take a box,...
...and cut out these bottom parts.
–You're not very precise. –I'm not.
Have you always cut these things without precision?
Of course. It's not a perfect fit, is it?
–No, not at all. –That's perfectly all right.
–Okay. –Yes. Glue these on like this.
–You have the ears. –Wow.
–Yes. –He finally sounds like Mr. Origami.
I see.
–Is that a wink? –She's sleepy–eyed.
–From working overtime. –Yes.
The mouse–shaped socket cover is finished.
–Ta–da. –Good for you, Hee–soo.
Yoo–hoo.
–Isn't it pretty? Wow. –Wow.
Keep working hard.
Become the best generation of young adults and middle–aged people.
–Keep your spirits up, my friends! –Keep them up!
(Takara Shibasaki's Speed Solution)
It's Speed Solution. Let's get started.
What will I do with a senior who leaves flyers on my desk?
Remember to F.A.R.T.
Fold it into an airplane.
And fly it to your senior's desk. Release it powerfully.
Then pretend like it was a mistake.
My things keep on disappearing.
Remember to S.A.T.
Set up a camera.
And make sure no one sees it.
Then you'll catch the thief!
I can't decorate my desk because I'm not very artsy.
Let's go with F.L.O.W.
Find an arty colleague. Lure them with some beef.
Once they begin to work on your desk, they will do...
...wonders to your desk!
A good–looking desk will help you work more efficiently.
Decorate your desk...
...and be adored by your boss too.
Bye.
What do you think? It's not bad, is it?
This is good enough.
My humidifier.
My speakers.
My smartphone cradle.
They aren't useful if they just sit around. Think of it as a donation to your company.
What's with you? You couldn't care less during our meeting.
I care a lot about this.
So why do you suddenly care?
–Why do I suddenly care? –Something is going on.
–No, nothing. Nothing is going on. –There is something.
–I mean, what is it? –You always get suspicious of me.
Ms. Yoon, your desk is right here.
What is this? It didn't look like this until morning.
Wait, is it because...
...I asked for a desk?
My gosh, I didn't say that because I expected to actually get a desk.
I tried decorating it with what we have, but I'm not sure if you'll like it.
Gosh, a humidifier? You're very thoughtful.
I've been thinking that your office is rather dry.
If you need anything else,...
you can let me know.
And while we're on the subject––
What are you all doing? Get back to work.
Look at the time. Don't just stand around.
Go. Get to work.
–Wow. –Goodness.
Do you have anything to say?
Oh, it's just that...
...I might be able to match the price...
...that you want for the diary. My specialty is...
...sweet–talking the suppliers...
...into dropping their prices.
Can you really do that? Lowering the cost to my desired price?
Yes, of course. I'm very experienced.
But...
...don't you think it'll make more sense...
...if I was involved in the project in order to go out and negotiate?
It's just a thought.
Why don't you ask Mr. Kang...
...that you want to join our project?
Well, that's... I'm not sure if I should be telling you this.
That jerk––
Mr. Kang tends to hold me in check.
I can't tell you more in detail because it's an internal affair.
But if you ask him...
...to let me join the project, he might––
I get what you mean.
But I think I might be overstepping my bounds if I do that.
Overstepping? You shouldn't do that.
In order for me to step in,...
don't you think I'll need a reason?
Mr. Kang is against this proposal because the material cost is too high.
Can you try to match my price?
And keep it a secret from Mr. Kang.
If you give me a hand,...
...I'll give you my full support...
...so that you can join the project too.
–Can you do it? –When suppliers see me,
they all go crazy and want to lower their prices first.
–That's great. –They keep lowering their prices.
–I have no idea what to do. –My gosh.
I'm in a tough situation.
It looks like...
...Ms. Yoon has a thing for me.
I tend to keep my work life strictly separated from my personal life.
I hope she won't misunderstand and think that I used that babe.
Gosh, I called her a babe already.
Hyun–wook, where are you going?
What? Oh, to the convenience store.
While you're there, can you pick up some cigarettes?
–Cigarettes? –Yes.
Oh, grab me two packs, actually.
Okay.
Yu–jin, where are you going?
–To get some water. –While you're up,...
...grab me some water too.
Mix hot water and cold water to make it lukewarm.
–Okay. –Put in cold water first.
Here's my cup.
Thanks.
Sang–wook, why are you working so––
Why are you working so hard? Are you ill?
–What's wrong with him? –Goodness.
I don't understand.
Is he happy to feel refreshed after he ruined everyone else's mood?
That's the least of the problem.
Mr. Choi––
(Submitting for approval)
Gosh, it went that far?
I'm sorry.
–Darn it. –Do you want some eggs?
Darn it. That is disgusting.
–Hey, what? –Gosh, darn it.
Don't you think he's insane?
Why would you clip your toenails at––
Okay, fine.
I guess I can endure each time he's being gross.
But here's what really stresses me out.
–Look at him. –He's really cute.
–Isn't he adorable? –He's like a baby.
–My gosh. –He's so cute.
–So cute. –My gosh.
You're so adorable.
He's so cute, Ms. Han.
You can't just obsess over a dog.
You should find a guy, get married, and have kids too.
Wait. Ms. Han, you're 32.
Even if you had a kid now, you'll be giving birth in an old age.
–Right? –Don't worry, Mr. Choi.
Ms. Han works out a lot, so she'll give birth with no problem.
–Right? –Really? Goodness.
She works out so hard.
I mean, who are they to map out my life?
And...
...he makes insulting remarks and makes fun of our looks.
–Exactly. –What is his problem?
Am I your errand boy?
(It's time...)
I've been robbed of my inner peace.
Where and how can I find some solace?
(...to detoxify your eyes)
While conducting research on this topic,
the crew stumbled upon a compensation calculator...
...invented by a Japanese company 10 years ago.
(Compensation Calculator)
This compensation calculator...
...converts your stress level into a monetary value.
What you deserve for the stress you're under.
How can it be calculated?
(Psychological damage)
First, it's asking what your gender is.
–Zero for male. Okay. –Male.
Let's select zero. The next step is...
Senior Manager Choi Young–soo.
You can choose from "Senior colleague, friend, teacher."
–I'll choose number four. –Okay.
–This means "Clipping nails in front of me." –I see.
Now, tap on it to show how angry it made you.
(Enter your stress level)
What does the result say?
Your compensation should be 8,320 yen.
That should be about 85,000 won.
The compensation...
...for workplace violence, which includes...
...such repulsive behaviors and verbal abuse,...
will be determined according to the following criteria.
The most important factor would be the details...
...of the verbal abuse or the harassment.
The next important factors would be how long it's been going on...
...as well as the level of emotional distress.
The amount of your compensation...
...will be decided considering all of the aforementioned factors.
I'll get going, then.
–Take it easy. –All right.
Yu–jin, are you in charge of the contract...
–...with Paper House? –No, I'm not.
Then why did you e–mail me the draft of the contract?
–That's... –I asked her to do it.
I'm a little swamped. Why? Is there a problem?
Gosh.
Mr. Park.
If you're overwhelmed with your workload, please tell me.
I'll reassign the tasks.
No, I'm fine. Don't worry.
You haven't sent me the report that was due this morning.
Oh, that?
I'll finish it by the end of the day, so don't worry.
What is it?
I do not want to be nosy about your personal life,...
...but when you're at work, you should be focused on work.
–What? –You seem a lot more...
...interested in things that aren't work–related.
That's why I'm bringing this up.
Jeez.
Why did you e–mail him directly? You should've sent it to me first.
Can't you try to be more thoughtful?
Gosh, that totally stressed me out.
I'm sorry.
Where are you going?
–To get some water. –Then get me some too.
Mix hot and cold water. I like it lukewarm.
Gosh, that clueless girl.
What should I do with her?
–Hang on, Yu–jin. –Yes?
I think I just saw something.
–What do you mean? –Right here.
I think there's something on your hair.
What do you mean? There's nothing.
No, there is something.
Move your hair like this.
–Is it gum? There's gum on your hair. –No!
–It's not gum! –I'll take it off for you.
Isn't that a partial wig?
Yu–jin, why are you wearing a wig?
Hey, then is it...
...a bald spot, not gum?
–No, it's not. –Is your hair falling out?
My gosh, you're still young. I can't believe you're going bald already.
That's why you've been drinking that bean smoothie. You poor thing.
–Give it back. –You've been wearing this hairpin...
...to cover your bald spot?
Mr. Park.
That's enough.
Hey, covering the spot...
...will only make it worse. It has to be exposed to air...
...for your scalp to become healthier.
And once you get a bald spot, it'll spread.
Here and here too. They'll keep popping up.
Enough already. You'll make her cry.
I must say, this looks real.
I totally thought it was her hair.
Stop it.
Come with me. Can you not take a hint?
I was just trying to make her feel better. It's not like I made it up.
Do you not know how to console someone?
(Park Sang–wook, Park Sang–wook)
I'll crush him.

All employees of One Dozen.
Did you have another good day?
In order to improve your work environment...
...and to promote a healthy work–life balance,...
we encourage you to leave work on the dot at 6:00 p.m.
–Good work today. –Bye, sir.
–If you're done for the day,... –Great work.
...please feel free to get going.
Mr. Park, aren't you leaving?
What? You're leaving already?
It's not even 6:00 p.m. yet.
Jeez.
You guys have it so easy.
Your superior is still working. How could you want to call it a day?
I was just kidding.
Look at him all scared. He's such a chicken.
I still have a lot to do, so just get going.
Oh, okay. We'll get going, then.
Let's go. Come on. Let's go.
–Great work today. –Thanks.
Let's go.
(Sales and Marketing)
Hey, it's me.
I sent you a photo. Did you get it?
What is the unit cost?
What if there are more pages?
Is that the lowest?
Can't you drop it a bit more for us?
I mean, I think 7,500 won should be enough.
You can't do it? Come on.
It's just a matter of 100 or 200 won. My life practically...
...depends on this.
Good evening, and welcome to the global talk show, "Three Eyes."
Tonight, we'll be discussing tasks that aren't listed on your job description.
Shall we get started?
(Three Eyes)
Tonight, we have two special guests again.
Blair and Niddy, welcome back.
I love being here with you. Thank you for having me.
–Thank you. –Yes, thank you for having me.
It's great to be here again.
By the way, about that scene...
–...in the drama earlier... –Yes.
Gosh, those petty errands...
–...such as picking up coffee. –Yes.
Do you think employees are obligated to do it?
Have you ever been asked to run such errands?
–As for me... –It has never happened to me.
–I see. –I've never been asked, and I––
You wouldn't do it anyway.
Yes, that's right. If I want to drink coffee,...
I'll go get it myself, you know.
I don't think it should be part of anyone's job,...
...but to live in Korea and fit in,...
...I think it may be necessary to comply.
Let's say, "This isn't my job."
If I say that to my boss,...
...people will think that I'm not flexible enough.
And I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of my boss.
But once you do it...
Your boss will keep asking you.
–It'll keep happening. –Over and over.
Because of the collectivist culture,...
...people think it's totally fine to ask their colleagues for such favors.
And that mindset...
...affects the whole organizational culture.
People ask for favors easily.
But in Australia or the US,...
...do people ask for favors easily?
I'm not sure, but I don't think that's the case for Australia.
I just thought of this.
We're calling this issue "Tasks that aren't listed on your job description."
But the thing is, they shouldn't...
–...actually be called "tasks." –That's right.
Accurately speaking, they're personal requests.
In my opinion, such requests shouldn't be considered your tasks.
Your roles and responsibilities are listed in your employment contract.
–That's right. –You know what's in your job description.
Your actual tasks shouldn't deviate too much from that list.
You were hired for those specific tasks.
If you're doing something totally different,...
...why are you even there?
I'll tell you what they do in India.
They hire people specifically for those petty tasks,...
...such as scheduling meetings,...
...getting the meeting room ready, picking up coffee,...
...answering phone calls, and so on.
People who perform those tasks are called office boys.
So basically,...
...there are tasks that need to be done,...
....but if no one is...
...officially in charge of those tasks,...
–...it means they need someone for the job. –Exactly.
Then they should either hire someone or outsource the job.
Like Blair said earlier,...
...you should be clear about it.
"To be honest, I don't think this has anything...
...to do with what I was hired for...
...and how I can contribute to the company's success.
I will help you this time because it seems urgent,...
but if this keeps happening,...
...it'll distract me from my own tasks.
That's not good for the company,...
...so please hire someone for these tasks."
–That's one way of... –Or you can say,...
–...dealing with it. –"If you pay me more,...
–...I'll take on these tasks." –Yes, that's right!
–I mean,... –Yes. That can be...
–...you're helping out. –...a solution too.
There are things that we can change if we set our mind to it,...
–...and management issues are one of them. –That's correct.
When it comes to deciding which tasks should be delegated in what manner,...
–...it'd be great... –Yes.
...if we all could take some time to think about what the best solution may be.
Good night and good luck.
(Good night, and good luck.)
(The next day)
Yu–jin, do you know when Ms. Yoon will be here?
She's on her way now. She has a meeting.
Really?
Are you sulking because of what happened?
Hey, I was just worried about you.
Snap out of it.
Okay.
I looked up what shampoo is good for––
Gosh, my stomach is upset.
When your stomach is upset, drink latte!
I'll get it myself.
(Three hours ago)
(Delicious Milk, Lactose–free)
–Hey, I was... –Gosh.
Well, this is––
I didn't see anything.
We never ran into each other here today.
You didn't see me,...
...and I'll say...
...I never saw you here.
Nothing soothes your stomach like a latte does.
Do not give up. Jeez, it's stuck in my head.
Gosh, how annoying.
Hey.
You're here.
You look great today.
–Thank you. –Would you like some coffee?
(We're a Family)
I barely got any sleep.
Gosh.
I have piles of work to do.
Oh, gosh.
Jeez!
Gosh.
(Cleaning in Progress)
He should be here any minute now.
Shall we go?
Gosh.
Goodness.
(Cleaning in Progress)
My goodness.
(Cleaning in Progress)
My gosh.
I knew it. There's always no toilet paper at times like this.
Don't be flustered. It's okay.
I didn't even bring my phone.
What do I do?
Excuse me?
Hello?
There's no toilet paper here.
Excuse me?
Darn it.
Hello?
Darn it.
Gosh.
Oh, no.
No!
My gosh!
(HR Meeting Room)
(Park So–young, Assistant HR Manager)
I'm sorry. I just really had to use the bathroom.
I've heard enough.
I'll let it slide.
What can you do? It's not like you could hold it.
Thank you for understanding.
You wiped your butt clean, right?
Yes, thanks to you–– Oh, sorry.
I'm sorry for the trouble.
Mr. Park, I've actually been meaning to have a one–on–one meeting with you.
With me? Why?
Those in Internal Affairs have informed me...
...that there are some issues with your corporate card statements.
Issues? Like what?
At dawn on April 5, you spent 3,800 won at a convenience store.
Then in Jebu Island on Saturday, April 6,...
...you even filled your car with gas.
There are many other examples.
And recently,...
...you even bought cigarettes with your corporate credit card.
Kang Hyun–wook, that jerk...
–That wasn't me. –Also,...
...the numbers don't match the receipts you submitted.
This can get you in deep trouble.
What do you mean?
You know exactly what I mean.
This will affect your performance review.
Gosh. Ouch!
Jeez.
I'm sorry.
I heard they suspended your card as well because of me.
Oh, that?
It's okay. Mr. Kang sorted it out.
–Pardon me? –You haven't heard the news?
Mr. Kang said he's partially responsible as well,...
...so they decided not to suspend our corporate cards.
And as for you,...
...they'll just let it slide with an informal verbal warning.
Mr. Kang said he'd also take responsibility...
...for poorly managing our credit card expenses.
But now, Mr. Choi, Mr. Kang,...
...Mr. Park, and even I...
...have to submit our credit card statements from the past year.
Why must we go through all this because of you?
So? Is your stomach okay now?
Mr. Park, I heard about what happened.
Are you feeling better now?
Darn it.
You're looking for this, right? Here.
(Private Label Project, Eco–friendly Concept, Unit Cost Adjustment)
I knew something was up.
You worked late, which you never do.
Was it because of this?
My gosh, you worked late for this?
I just asked you to help me whenever you had time to spare.
I feel terrible because I know that you don't even feel well.
Gosh.
(Private Label Project Unit Cost Adjustment, Eco–friendly, New–tro)
What's this?
Did you put these together yourself? Both of them?
I looked into whether or not we'd be able to adjust our budget...
...for all the materials and unit cost for both concepts.
As you can see, going with the eco–friendly concept...
...like what Ms. Yoon has been saying...
...wouldn't be a bad idea. That's my conclusion.
The cost for all the materials...
...seems pretty reasonable.
I thought you were blindly against the idea.
–I misunderstood your intentions. –That's understandable.
I, too, almost got the wrong idea.
Pardon me?
Anyway, thank you for all your help, Mr. Park.
You must be busy with your own tasks,...
...but you made time to help out.
I had this idea while doing my research.
Mr. Park, how about you join us on this private label project?
–What? –It'd be nice to have someone...
...with a lot of firsthand experience.
On top of that, you're very well connected.
This is great!
You told me that you wanted to join this project.
–Really? –You did?
You should've told me.
You said you'd sort things out with Mr. Jung.
To be honest, I wanted to ask you to join us on the project from the get–go,...
...but the timing wasn't right.
I guess you felt the same way.
I feel supported now that you're joining us.
Do not give up!
Please help me out a lot, Mr. Park.
Then you should've––
–Gosh. –Oh, no.
–What's wrong? –Mr. Park.
Then you should've told me.
–Gosh! –Oh, no.
–Mr. Park, what's wrong? –Sang–wook.
I guess it's starting again.
–Oh, my goodness. –Gosh.
One, two, one, two.
–Can one of you follow him? –One, two.
So apparently, I'm going through andropause.
What?
That's why my stomach has been upset.
My mood swings are also caused by my hormones.
Have I been acting that strange?
Yes. Well...
I mean, you were always quite strange to begin with.
What?
What did your doctor say?
I was just told not to get stressed out.
He said having a hobby will help me de–stress.
Then I realized that I don't have any hobbies.
What have I been doing all these years?
Well, you know.
You've been working.
Gosh.
(Andropause: Caused by the decrease in testosterone levels)
(It's estimated to affect about 30 percent of men over 40)
Oh, my.
Who knew coffee could be this delicious?
Right?
It's the best coffee I've had since I joined this company.
By the way,...
...why did that woman from the accounting team go into the washroom?
We had put out the "Cleaning in Progress" sign.
You're right.
I have no idea. Maybe she really had to go.
Anyway,...
...Mr. Park experienced public embarrassment thanks to her.
Frankly, I didn't mean to go to this extent.
My gosh.
You're lying.
When you decide to get back at someone...
(No Ji–won, Sales and Planning)
(Cleaning in Progress)
You need to do it properly.
Yu–jin is...
She's too nice and clumsy.
I worry about her.
That's her charm though.
Andropause?
So, men go through menopause too?
We do, of course.
It can affect men more than puberty does.
It depends on the person though.
Mr. Park tries not to show it,...
...but he's under a lot of stress.
He has to drink with his clients until late at night.
After that, he heads to a sauna nearby for two to three hours of sleep.
–Then he has to go hiking with Mr. Jang. –Oh, boy.
You all know...
...everything he has to do to please that fickle–minded man, Mr. Jang.
Mr. Jang still doesn't remember Hyun–wook's name,...
...so he wants to take Hyun–wook every time he goes hiking with Mr. Jang.
And Mr. Jung.
You didn't meet your goal for the last quarter.
He tried so hard to make sure the higher–ups wouldn't blame you.
Yu–jin, don't you remember? When you were still new here.
Who dared to hit on our new hire?
You, right? Was it you?
–You piece of... –One of our clients...
...called Yu–jin every night and asked her to meet up.
When he found out about it, he raided his office and punched him,...
saying he doesn't care even if we lose the contract.
He even had to go to the police station.
You remember that, right?
Mr. Park is just a little rough around the edges.
He actually cares about you guys a lot.
But it's not like anyone sees that.
The higher–ups summon him whenever they need him,...
...regardless of how late it is,...
...and you guys don't even respect him.
Oh, I––
–What? –What is it?
What's the matter?
–It's nothing. –You got us all curious.
–You can't say it's nothing. –What is it?
–Show us.
–Well... –What is it?
–I'm curious. –Show me. What is it?
What?
"This company is a mess.
–I found a bald spot. –A bald spot?
I thought it was a spring.
–You make me laugh. –Yu–jin.
–What is stress?"
(You make me laugh.)
Gosh.
Our logo is right here.
Everyone would know he's talking about Yu–jin.
(What is stress?)
This...
...piece of trash!
What? What was that?
I think I just heard something.
The loanword that Koreans use most often, "stress."
When dealing with work, which can have a huge power over us,...
...we do our best to cope with and overcome stress...
...on a daily basis.
(Best shampoo for hair loss)
You must've had another stressful day...
...because of your superior, your junior colleague,...
...and the company you work for.
(Spa Seoul)
How about you escape from your stress...
...from time to time?
Distancing yourself from people and work for a short moment...
...and enjoying your alone time...
...might be a good solution.
(Lottery tickets sold here)
And I'm sure you can find...
...your own little paradise...
...in the place you escaped.
Oh?
What?
(Takeout Discount, 1,000 won)
What?
Have you heard the rumor about Ms. Yoon?
What's more shocking is...
Seriously? The rumor must be true, then.
–Gosh. –Find out who spread the rumor first.
–Do you all want to get fired? –It's Mr. Jung's fault.
Jung Woo–young, you're responsible for this.
I'm sorry. Please forgive me.
Please–– My gosh!
Gosh.
(The Rumor and Its Butterfly Effect)
Mr. Park, I see that you're applying for the sales team.
Yes, that's correct.
Are you aware that working in the sales team can be quite stressful?
Yes, but I never get stressed out.
Even if something does stress me out while working,...
...since my mind and body are both healthy,...
...I trust that I'll be able to de–stress...
...by enjoying working with my co–workers.
Since I was little...
...I'm not susceptible to stress.
I'm sorry.
Because I'm not susceptible to stress...
My apologies.
