(All characters, institutions, enterprises and designations)
(appearing in this drama are purely fictional.)
I won't let Ah-in find out. I'll just clean and leave.
So Please
Please, just once.
Please let it go just this once. Please.
What are you doing?
What are you doing right now in my office?
(Forgetting about the things lost)
What did that lady do wrong?
Did she steal something?
(Episode 12) What wrong could she have done
that she would have to kneel to you in the company?
I let you do whatever Director Choi told you to do.
Look at what you've learned to do.
She came here to work, not to get bullied by you.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, what are you sorry about?
I'm asking you to tell me!
(Dad)
Dad, you're outside?
I'm at home.
Then why are you calling me? I was just about to go downstairs.
Would you like to go somewhere with me today?
Where?
Let's go and get some fresh air.
I need to go to work, what do you mean get fresh air?
Alright.
I have something to tell you too.
Come down when you're ready.
Gosh, really.
He should have told me before I got ready. Now I have to change again.
Did you call for me?
Take a seat.
What are you waiting for?
Sorry?
Take it.
Yes, Sir.
I heard your mother bought you a pair of shoes.
Yes, she did.
What did you buy her?
I haven't bought her anything yet.
This is why they say there's no use raising a son.
I put 500,000 won in there.
Thank you.
Buy your mother a pair of shoes too,
and buy some beef home.
Is that too little money?
Is it insufficient?
No. It's sufficient.
Sir, since we're here,
can I say something?
Sure.
I'm still...
not good enough to be promoted to an executive.
It's my first time seeing someone reject a promotion.
You don't want it?
Yes.
Why?
I believe that positions should be held by those who are worthy of them.
And you're not worthy of it?
Yes.
I...
can't live up to that.
Seems like Han-na doesn't think so.
This
is my promotion after all.
I don't want to burden others with my promotion.
If we promote you regardless of that?
If I see that it's not a position I should be in,
I will...
have to leave the position.
Alright. I get it.
Han-na is not going to work today,
so you take a break today too.
Thank you.
It's been hard on you.
He doesn't want the promotion, which makes me want to promote him more.
Sit beside me.
Where's Mr. Park?
I let him go home.
What? You're going to drive?
Why are you holding on to that?
I'm nervous.
What's there to be nervous about?
It's my first time being driven by you.
What do you mean first--
- When was the last time you drove? - Hey.
In the past,
I even drove a stick shift car.
That's why I'm nervous!
That means you haven't driven since 1988!
We could have gotten Mr. Park to drive us. Why are you making me nervous by driving?
Are you like this with Mr. Park too?
You're being so noisy
that I can't focus on driving.
Exactly, so why are you doing something that needs you to focus?
You could have left it to someone who can do it well without focusing.
VC Group has recorded a two percent drop insales as compared to this period last year.
The nation-wide consumer market
I can't even get a peaceful day.
Everyone pesters me everyday.
I sent the compilation of proposals to the advertiser
and they've decided to go with Eun-jung's idea.
Which proposal was that?
To revive and meet a dead daughter through VR technology, wasn't it?
Yes.
It would be good to forget about the things we've lost,
but that's not easy.
That's right.
We can't even easily forget about small things,
even more so if it was their own child that they lost.
Since it's a fire insurance company,
a car accident will be relevant, so they probably liked the idea.
Yes, they wanted to go straight into the PPM and filming.
Alright.
For this one, we don't have to make it fancy so just do it naturally on set.
We should still include a copy, don't we?
Yes, we should.
For the concept,
let's go with something along the lines of
"people we need to meet in order to say goodbye".
Just make the key copy not sound too messy.
I'll polish it in a way that it doesn't stand out too much.
Go and work on that.
Byung-soo, let's have a talk.
We'll have to let her go.
Who?
My secretary.
(CPO Office)
Is she still reporting to Director Choi?
It doesn't seem like she's been doing that recently.
Ask the HR team about it without making it obvious.
You're only coming here when I tell you to.
I'm sorry.
What are you doing while getting paid?
You didn't tell me when Mr. Park was there the other time.
I believe Kang Han-na went there too.
The thing is...
I'm sorry.
Do you want to lose your job?
Should I let you go now?
What?
Leave if you don't want to do this.
There are tons of people out there
who will do what I asked you to do to become a full-time employee.
Leave...
if you don't want to do what I asked you to do.
I...
have something to tell you.
Soo-jung.
What are you doing in the planning department?
Oh.
The--
bathroom on the production team floor was full.
I'll get going first.
The women's bathroom is the other way.
Let's make it smaller--
Place it below
Doesn't that look okay?
- Looks good. - I think it needs to be smaller.
Put it in there.
Yeah, I think this position looks okay.
What are you doing?
What do you mean?
This unfathomable gesture of emotion.
Does this look weird?
No, it doesn't.
I'm just telling you to cheer up.
Well, many things in life don't go the way we want them to.
And the next one...
Seems like Jang-woo is fated to focus on his work.
(Social Media Account Analysis)
To increase follower count in a short span of time,
the best option is to lean towards one side.
Is that so?
Is that what Director Kang Han-na did?
Feel free to tell me about it.
You are more well versed in this than me.
What is the biggest problem here?
We don't have any content.
What do you mean by content?
Director Kang Han-na's social media content is herself.
But for Vice President Kang Han-soo...
What an irony.
We're using social media to increase his recognition,
but he needs to be highly recognised
to have more followers.
There's a good way to do that.
Tell me.
If he's rumoured to be dating a top female celebrity,
he'll gain recognition immediately.
You want him to be in a scandal
when he has a fiancee?
I'm sorry.
There are ideas that you've shown him
and not to me right?
Send me all of them.
Shall I grill you the marshmallows that you like?
I don't want it.
Why?
I'll gain weight.
Whenever I look at you, I just want to stop earning money.
Why?
What's the point of earning so much money?
My child doesn't eat anything so she's just skin and bones.
Take a look at my dressing room then.
It'll make you feel like you have to earn a lot of money.
You said you had something to tell me.
Yeah.
Go ahead.
I want to go on a blind date.
With who?
That guy.
The Ulsanbawi.
I don't want to!
Since you're done with your studies and started working, you should get married.
He's Kang Han-soo's friend.
Is there anyone out of all the men suitable for you that Han-soo doesn't know?
There are. People that you don't know.
If I don't know them, that means their families aren't that well to do.
So what if he comes from a rich family?
He has rocks for a brain.
What do you mean?
He did an MBA in the States too.
Would he have done it himself?
The tutoring team that went there with him must have done it for him.
What about you then? Are you any different?
That's what I'm saying.
If both me and my husband have rocks for brains,
how will our child turn out to be?
We're just dumbheads who get to enjoy life thanks to our parents.
What will happen if our families come together?
We'll get the biggest rock in Korea.
Would that be a person?
It'll be the Ulsanbawi.
What do you want to do then?
I'll get married to a self-made man,
so stay out of it.
You'll really go on a blind date with him?
Yeah.
Setting off smoke will only sting your eyes.
What are you talking about?
There's an easier route.
Why do you want to take the tougher path?
Han-na.
Can't we just live like this from now on?
Forgetting about business and all that hassle,
using the money we have now to live peacefully
with nice people in a nice place
while eating whatever we want.
You don't like doing business?
Yeah.
I don't like doing business.
I'm sick of this life too.
I'm very different from your grandfather.
Wouldn't it be nice for you to not do business and live with a self-made man?
Who?
Whoever it is,
as long as he can always be on your side.
You're not going to do as I say right?
You already know.
Alright.
Do as you please.
Go for the blind date if you want to.
However,
don't push yourself.
Tell me if you're having a hard time.
There's only one thing
that I want from you.
What is it?
Don't live like me.
In the Kang family, I hope that at least Kang Han-na
can live happily.
Did you find out about anything between yesterday and today?
I am aware that the both of you went to the district office.
We see each other everyday, we're like family already.
I'm anticipating it.
Good luck.
It's been hard on you.
Everyone already knows.
My mum was really happy
about me working at a big company.
Tadah!
The one who earns the most in the family left work on time today.
Mother.
What is this?
She should have called to tell us she was coming home for dinner.
She always does this.
Mum is here.
We're having meat!
Right?
Now that I'm here, you'll have meat to go with your rice instead of just vegetables.
Yup!
You like that I can buy meat with the money I earn right?
Yup!
No!
What do you mean no? Do you dislike meat?
I like meat.
Then it's a good thing for me to go to work.
It's correct!
You like meat, so it's good that I'm earning a salary.
That means it's good that I go to work!
That's not it.
What do you mean it's not? It's proven by syllogism.
That is
So...
Alright then.
Then prove that it's not.
What?
This time,
I'll dip it in the oil sauce
and eat it in one go.
You want to eat it right?
This is the company.
They are not the same!
Really?
This is the last piece of meat left at home.
Gosh, you're a mum.
How could you do this to your son with food?
Children also need to know that there are no free lunches in this world.
Choose.
Will you eat vegetables with an unemployed mum
or eat meat with a working mum?
That's it! Game over!
Now you agree to me going to work too.
You can't take back your decision, alright?
Hmm?
A-ji, why are you crying?
I hate myself.
Why?
I don't want you to go to work,
but meat...
is too tasty.
Sorry for causing you trouble yesterday.
I didn't tell Director Go.
Yes, I know.
If you had told her, I would have--
Shouldn't Director Go know too?
I shouldn't be so shameless.
I'll just work for a week and leave.
It would be troublesome for you too.
Sorry and thank you.
I did a PPM with the advertiser this morning. No changes are needed.
What time is the filming tomorrow?
The staff gathering time is 7am, so you may come at around 8am.
Director Jang, what about the VR filming?
The team has lots of experience with filming VR, so they're good at it.
What about the models? They must be very nervous.
Mr. Han and I will go and bring them there tomorrow.
Alright, we'll do it that way then.
Mr. Han, let's talk for a while.
How did it go?
They said it won't be hard since she's only here on contract.
Alright.
Let's settle it after the filming tomorrow.
Are you doing this because she's reporting to Director Choi?
What do you mean?
I think I saw her going to meet Director Choi the other time.
It's for the better then.
Don't tell the HR team about the thing with Director Choi though.
It'll be hard for her to find work elsewhere if rumours go around.
Yes, that would be fatal to her career.
Just say that she doesn't really match my working style.
Alright.
Director Go,
did you stop coming by the store because you're doing well?
Hey.
Are you that amazing? Huh?
I think you're pretty drunk today.
Come again next time.
He was doing so well making commercials, but now he's doing this--
You're always sitting here without any customers.
We took pity on you, so we came in to get some drinks.
What are you doing?
Let's go. I'm never coming back here!
I'll serve you well the next time you come.
It's been long.
Have a seat.
Why did you come here?
Let's have a drink together.
I don't think we're close enough for that.
We just ended on a bad note.
We entered the company together.
Do you remember
how we used to drink soju in the company parking lot
and cried together when we were still new in the company?
Stop saying all those useless things.
Leave.
I'm sorry.
That's how life is.
(Building owner)
Take the call.
Hello.
What are you going to do about the rent? You forgot about the deposit too!
I'm sorry. I'll settle it soon.
(We welcome cash payment)
Sorry. Yup.
(10,000,000 won sent by Choi Chang-soo)
What are you trying to do here?
We might have ended on a bad note,
but I should show some love to the colleague I entered the company with.
Use this money
to resolve your urgent issues first.
Why would I take your money without any reason?
There's a reason of course.
I'd like to propose a plan to you.
Where did he go after asking me to come?
(Go Ah-in)
Did something happen? I'll leave after waiting for a while.
Money is really
scary.
It's scary.
I'm sorry.
Forgive me
just this once.
Thank you for all these while.
Are you really quitting after today?
There's a filming today, so Director Go won't be coming into the office.
I have to go out to settle some stuff now.
Sure.
Thank you for all these while.
Yeah.
I dropped by the office, so I'll be a little late.
Take your time.
We're also on our way to fetch the models.
Alright.
What were you doing?
I'm asking what it is that you put in your pocket.
It isn't anything.
Take out the thing you put in your pocket.
Now I know why my secretary was doing that.
Give me what you stole.
You're right.
It was originally yours.
Mum,
you're not abandoning me right?
I'll come back for you.
It's been long.
It's been 35 years, I think?
You said...
your daughter died in a car accident.
Yes.
A truck--
Right in front of her mother--
That was what happened.
I'll have a smoke before going in.
Please go in first with Eun-jung.
Alright.
Let's go.
Please come this way.
You're here.
Are you feeling unwell?
I'm fine. Let's go in and work.
This is something to be encouraged.
What is?
You're eating what you usually eat.
It's nice to see that.
I need to set off some smoke, so I shouldn't attract unwanted attention.
I'll be going on a blind date.
Sure.
I'm just telling you so you don't misunderstand.
He isn't a person anyway.
I heard it's the son from Seoksan Group.
That's why...
I said he isn't a person.
I heard you're going on a blind date with Han-na.
Yeah.
She rejected it at first,
but I guess she developed feelings.
When is it?
Tonight.
It's not easy to deal with Han-na.
Who doesn't know that?
Shall I give you some tips?
Hey.
You want to become a family with me so badly?
No.
Your father wants to become a family with us.
So?
Do you want to hear it or should I just leave?
I'll listen to it.
Han-na has a secretary.
Mess with him.
Step on him.
Why should I?
For what?
He became arrogant after studying overseas with her,
so Han-na is planning on kicking him out.
That's what I'm good at.
Would you be okay with getting a niece or nephew soon?
If you can do it, go ahead.
Okay.
I'll make sure I get it done.
We'll begin the shoot now.
We'll begin the shoot now. Be quiet.
Director Go.
Director Go?
We'll begin now.
Hold on.
If I put this on,
I'll get to meet Seo-ah again right?
It won't be exactly the same,
but you'll be able to meet her.
Director Jang.
Yes?
Send the staff members somewhere where she won't see them.
Let's leave the space.
Just leave it on.
Can we begin the filming now?
Just a moment.
I haven't thought about
what I want to say to her.
I prayed countless times
for her to appear in my dreams.
Now that I'm actually going to meet her,
I don't know what I should say.
If you were to meet your daughter again,
what would you want to say first?
I'm...
sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
What are you sorry for?
Are you sorry about ditching your daughter so you could live a better life?
Or are you sorry about lying that you'd be back for me?
It seems like you were aware that I work here. Why did you come?
I just...
wanted to see you for once.
Is that so?
How is it?
Now that you're seeing me, do you like it?
I'm relieved.
I was worried that you came to ask me for money
or to ask me to donate a kidney to you
or to tell me that you had a terminal illness.
What's the matter?
If you have something to say, go ahead.
If you have nothing to say, I'm leaving.
Can we begin the filming?
So...
I'm burdening her just by being alive.
Seo-ah.
Mum!
Seo-ah!
Seo-ah.
Mum, did you come to see me?
Of course I came to see you.
Why did you come only now? I waited so long for you.
I'm sorry.
I really wanted to come.
I really wanted to live here with you,
but I couldn't come.
It's fine. You're here now.
I was feeling bored all alone.
Let's play this together.
- Let's get ready. - Okay.
Are you okay?
You said...
your daughter died in a car accident.
It happened right in front of her mother.
She said she couldn't do anything at that time.
She said she could have saved her but she wasn't able to.
She can't get over that sense of guilt.
Seo-ah!
You can do this, honey.
Seo-ah.
My Seo-ah.
Mum.
Mum, are you okay?
Seo-ah, are you okay?
Did you get hurt?
Nope.
You protected me, so I'm not hurt anywhere.
I'm sorry, Seo-ah.
I...
was afraid back then.
I was afraid that I'd die.
I was afraid back then.
I was afraid that I'd die.
That's why I did that.
People say their children are the most important to them.
I thought that would be the same for me.
I thought you were more precious to me than my own life,
but I was afraid.
I thought I'd die if I stayed there.
I'm sorry.
I...
probably cherished myself more than you.
Ah-in,
don't forgive me.
Don't...
forgive me.
Mum.
Hmm?
I missed you.
I've texted you her address.
I heard she quit as of today.
Did something happen?
Who is this?
Open the door.
Ah-in.
Were you going to run away again?
What are you afraid of this time that you're running away again?
Ah-in...
If you abandoned your daughter, you should at least be living a good life.
Look at the state of your house!
Ah-in.
Eat before you go.
In the past,
even when you had no appetite because you were too shocked,
you would eat if we had this dish.
Do I look like I came here to have dinner?
Answer me.
Why didn't you come back for me?
I tried to.
I wanted to go back for you once I earned enough money to rent a room.
Welcome.
Where is that bitch?
Come out before I beat the living daylights out of you.
Please put that down.
Who are you? Was it you?
Were you the one who seduced my wife and made her run away from home?
Put that down now!
What are you waiting for? Run, quick!
I was too afraid to go in the end.
I thought about calling your aunt,
but I was afraid that he would find out and look for me.
I'm sorry.
No matter what I say, they will just be excuses.
I got to cook a meal for you.
Now,
I won't have any regrets even if I die.
Stop talking nonsense.
What about now?
Are you still afraid?
Is that why you're living like this
so that you can run away anytime?
This is comfortable for me.
Staying in a place where no one knows me.
Don't be mistaken.
Eating this doesn't mean I forgive you.
Also,
please help me to thank your secretary.
Director Go, are you okay?
Sorry, I wasn't feeling well.
Did the filming end well?
Yes, we're packing up now.
Alright. You've worked hard.
And regarding my secretary
I'll tell Soo-jung when I go to the office tomorrow.
No, don't do it.
Sorry?
Don't say anything.
Alright.
How should I repay her for what I did?
Mr. Park,
why are you being so silent today?
You've always been the one speaking.
I usually just answer you.
Am I acting differently today?
Do a good job today.
Are you being serious?
(Kim Min-ji)
Hey.
Hey, I heard you're going on a blind date with the son from Seoksan Group.
Yeah.
Don't you know he goes around hitting on girls?
I know.
Who doesn't know he does that?
Then why are you going on the blind date?
Blind date, my foot.
It's just like a business meeting.
Didn't you say you'll never do a political marriage?
I might not have politics in my life,
but I do have strategies.
Hey.
- Did you guys get a new sommelier? - Sorry?
Why does it taste like this?
Try it.
I'm sorry.
I'll prepare something else for you.
Nevermind.
Just leave it here.
You should speak politely.
Don't be rude.
Polite speech is reserved for those who deserve it.
Pour me a glass.
Pour it yourself.
Hey.
Yes, you.
Come here.
Pour me a glass.
More.
Hey.
Why did you stop?
I stopped because it looked like it was going to overflow.
Are you the one deciding?
That's enough.
Why did you stop without me ordering you to?
You can't even pour more because you're afraid the wine will overflow,
but I heard you have overflowing confidence.
Why?
Do you think that getting an MBA
puts you on the same level as us?
I'm sorry.
This rude fellow. Look at who you're dealing with.
This rude fellow. Look at who you're dealing with!
(Agency)
How much for the piggyback?
It's a service.
For life?
Continue dating Han-na
all the way until marriage.
Okay.
What do I stand to gain?
Han-na,
you'll have to get used to defeat and despair .
VC Hotel's wedding room is available right?
I'm planning to wrap up Plan B.
- Why didn't you tell me? - Oh.
People who would come when the minister's dog dies
won't come when the minister dies.
There's no such thing as betrayal.
It's the fault of the person who trusts.
