(Namsan Library)
Is there a specific reason why you like Namsan Library?
I like walking the uphill path that leads me there.
The scenery is different every season.
VR technology has developed a lot,
so playing games must be a lot of fun.
But you wrote that you prefer reading poetry and novels...
and that you feel grateful toward books.
Can you explain why?
When we play games, we must constantly be on the move.
But books allow us to take rests in between.
That's why I feel grateful toward books.
It says here that you've had a lot of part-time jobs.
What kind of jobs did you have?
I worked as a delivery man, waiter,
and construction worker.
Isn't it less exhausting to work as a private tutor?
My dad told me that money earned through labor...
stays with you for a longer period of time.
And I wanted to know what he meant by that.
You majored in Hotel Management.
But it seems like you're more interested in humanities.
I think business management and economics...
could prosper a lot more if it's based on humanities.
After all, it's all done by humans.
Why do you wish to work at Donghwa Hotel?
The word "Hotel" makes my heart flutter.
And if I get a chance to work at Donghwa Hotel,
I'm confident that this excitement will become one of a kind.
(Episode 2)
So she was the CEO of Donghwa Hotel.
(Jangsoo Fruit Shop)
What would you like? The fruits are all fresh today.
How much do I need to pay for a box of apples?
It's 12 dollars for a box.
What? Why is it more expensive than the shop over there?
- Ours is way better than theirs. - Come on.
It's just like how not all beef is the same.
You're here.
Why do you think Korean beef all cost different?
It's because the quality and breed are all different.
In a sense, these apples are similar to premium Korean beef.
I'm more impressed by you. I'd like one basket, please.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
They're incredibly delicious.
If they're not, you can bring them back.
And...
here's an extra apple for being impressed by me.
My goodness, he's so good at sales.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - Enjoy the apples.
- Thank you. Please come again. - Thank you.
I think I'm a better salesman than you. Don't you agree?
Did you come straight from the airport?
Jin Hyuk.
Mom.
My gosh, is that food?
I'm starving.
My gosh, are you more happy to see food than your own mom?
Gosh, of course not.
But it's natural to crave homemade food when you're abroad.
That's right. I came straight to the shop because I missed you.
My gosh, look at how much weight you've lost.
- You've lost so much weight. - My gosh.
- Let's go inside. - You should go inside.
- Honey, come inside. - Okay.
Come over here.
I can't wait. It's been so long since I had your food.
You must've been starving. Let's hurry up and eat.
I have good news.
What is it? Did you seduce a Cuban woman?
That would've been better news. But unfortunately, no.
I got employed.
My gosh, really?
Where? Which company?
Donghwa Hotel.
You were worried that you might fail...
because of the high competition rate.
That's great.
You guys should get ready to travel Cuba with the money I earn.
Cuba was really amazing.
Okay, sure. It doesn't even have to be Cuba.
I'll go wherever you decide to send me.
Eat up.
My gosh, you worked so hard. I'm so proud of you.
Wait a minute. This lunchbox won't do.
Honey, let's grill some meat today.
- That's a great idea. - Thank you for the food.
No problem. Go ahead and eat.
Where are you going?
Jin Hyuk found a job!
- That's great. - Jin Hyuk got hired.
I'll treat you to rice cakes later.
(Chan's Moon Snails)
Here, here. Here come Chan's moon snails.
Let's raise our glasses.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
(Chan's Moon Snails)
- Congratulations on getting hired. - Thank you.
You better treat us big.
I will when I get my paycheck.
Hye In will pay today.
My gift.
Yes. Where's my gift from Cuba?
There isn't any. I'm sorry.
What is this? You don't have anything for us?
I used the money for gifts on something else.
You spent it on a woman, didn't you?
Never.
Do you have a girl now?
What are you saying? It's not like that.
Anyway, I'm not jobless anymore,
so stop calling me when your business gets busy.
All right.
Now that you have a job,
let's plan our wedding.
There she goes again. Why would I marry a friend?
Yes. You should marry me instead.
What's wrong with you guys?
Do you want me to die an old maiden?
- Go on a blind date. - Yes.
I'm still a catch right now. I'm super popular at work.
Hey, Jin Hyuk. Once you settle down,
you should find out if she's really popular or not.
Why bother? She's obviously bluffing.
You're my junior now.
You have to treat me well. I'm a scary superior.
- I'm sorry. - How scary.
I'm so scared. I'm sorry.
I'm so scared.
- Introduce me to girls. - Here, I have some.
Hye In. Gosh.
- Cheers. - Cheers.
- Congratulations. - Congratulations.
Thank you!
Are you starting training next week?
Yes. That's what I was told.
I'm nervous.
Why? You'll do well.
Do you know your department yet?
I don't mind as long as I'm not in the PR Team.
I know you'll bully me.
I'd bully you like crazy.
I'm going to pray tonight so that you come to our team.
Hey. About the CEO of Donghwa Hotel...
Do you mean Ms. Cha Soo Hyun?
Is she a curious type?
Curious?
That's too broad of a question.
What I mean by that is, does she wander around on her own...
without her secretary?
How should I know that?
That's true.
However, I don't see her doing that.
- Why not? - The Ice Princess...
wouldn't go here and there just out of curiosity.
I don't see that happening.
The Ice Princess?
She never smiles.
I can understand why. She has no personal life.
Why not?
You have no interest in other people's lives,
so I guess it's possible you don't know about her.
Did you even know that her dad is Cha Jong Hyun?
Cha Jong Hyun? The ex-mayor of Seoul?
Yes.
She went around with him when he had political events.
Then, she became the daughter-in-law of Taegyeong.
When her husband cheated on her,
she got Donghwa Hotel as alimony from the divorce.
Another article about her was published just a few days ago.
She attended a family event at her ex-in-law's.
When you look at that, I bet her life really sucks.
Isn't it embarrassing?
Is she divorced or not?
Anyway, rich people are so strange.
You'd never run into a princess like her anyway.
Let's talk about me instead.
You?
Talk about you?
Hye In, when will you get pretty?
- You need a beating. - Hold on.
- Why are you so fast? - Stop.
Come here.
Stop it.
What kind of scent is this? It looks like lavender.
Yes. It's lavender mixed with many other herbs. It smells fresh.
Our main scent is a subtle rose.
That's right.
I wonder if this will go well with the rose scent.
I don't think they'll work well together.
We'll amend that.
Hello.
Can we make the hand towels thinner?
They're not much different from the shower towels.
That's true, but we need something that absorbs well.
If it gets thinner, it'll be more like a handkerchief.
It won't be easy to absorb all the water on people's hands.
It'd be okay if it absorbs about this much, right?
Yes.
This is the hand towel they use at the hotel that just got awarded.
I wanted it, so I took one with me.
The embroidery not only looks good, but it also looks proper.
I think we could make something similar in Korea too.
I'll look into it.
They just sent the first draft of your welcoming letter...
for the new recruits. Would you like to look at it?
If it's a letter from me, I should write it.
You always wrote your own, so I told them you'd prepare it,
but they sent a draft anyway.
Hello, ma'am.
How was your mother's 80th birthday party?
Thank you so much for asking.
My mother saw the flowers and gifts you sent her,
and was very happy.
Sending gifts is the easiest way to congratulate someone.
If she was happy, I'm very thankful.
About this area here...
Yes, ma'am.
It looks like we have more tables than usual.
We brought in one more table.
I think you're trying to get more customers in.
Yes, that's right.
Then, did you reduce the price for the buffet?
- Pardon? - The price we have now...
was set for people to enjoy their meals...
in a big and comfortable space.
We brought one more table in and made the space tighter.
That means the price should change too.
I'll take the table back out.
Don't think about business. Think about the brand value.
Yes, ma'am.
His face looks like you gave him a hard time.
No way.
I was calm and friendly while expressing my opinion.
You're more professional than experts.
We're breaking into cold sweats.
The guide for the VIP Partners' Day is out.
(Donghwa Hotel VIP Invitation Brochure Draft)
(1 month later)
No, no.
- I'll see you later. - Okay. Have a good day.
Kim Jin Hyuk, why are you...
You saved her life. Why are you avoiding her?
When the video ends, it'll be time for her welcoming message, right?
Yes, that's right.
Okay.
No way.
Next is our CEO Cha Soo Hyun's...
welcoming message.
First, I want to thank you for taking the hand...
of Donghwa Hotel.
Us at Donghwa Hotel respect your value.
You have now become family members of Donghwa Hotel.
I hope you'll improve the value...
of Donghwa Hotel as well.
On behalf of...
On behalf of Donghwa Hotel, we sincerely...
We sincerely welcome you.
This way, please.
Secretary Jang, come in please.
Bring me the resumes and cover letters of all the new recruits.
- You want to take a look at them? - Yes.
Why?
Well, I was just curious...
whether you saw the recruit that I saw.
Just bring them.
Yes, ma'am.
- Hello. - Where's the file from before?
I'd like to introduce a new member of our team, Kim Jin Hyuk.
He's the best looking among all the new recruits.
- Hye In, I heard he's your friend. - Yes.
Hello, my name is Kim Jin Hyuk.
I'll maintain my good looks that you complimented and work hard.
Thank you.
This is Manager Lee Jin Ho.
I look forward to working with you, Mr. Lee.
You should do a good job.
- There's no need to flatter me. - Okay, I'll try my best, sir.
Assistant Manager Park Han Gil will help you with your work.
I'm looking forward to it, Mr. Park.
Hello. You're way too good looking.
You can take a seat over here.
Thank you.
(We sincerely welcome you as a family of Dongwha!)
Hello.
29?
He's young.
I am the son of a fruit shop.
My father sold fruit ever since I was born.
Here you go. Enjoy it.
People think I must've had a lot of fruit while growing up,
but the son of a fruit shop doesn't eat proper fruit often.
I was lucky to taste fruit that was damaged...
or slightly rotten and impossible to sell.
I sell fruit.
You're a fruit vendor.
A fruit vendor?
You're right. I am a fruit vendor.
He really is a fruit vendor.
This is the organization chart of our team.
I didn't introduce myself earlier.
My name is Koo Eun Jin.
I look forward to working with you.
Mrs. Kim didn't introduce her on purpose, so keep away from her.
The elders of Hongjae-dong all seem like my real grandparents.
They practically know everything about me.
I've thought about the secret to their everlasting health...
and great memory.
I think they receive the energy of the mountain...
while they hike bare-footed all the time.
It was true?
- Is it true? - About what?
The people in your neighborhood going hiking bare-footed.
It's 100 percent true.
There's an old playground in the neighborhood I live in.
Whenever my parents scolded me when I was young,
I hid there all the time and waited...
until my mom called for me.
Whenever I have a lot on my mind or feel happy,
I sit on the swing in that playground and spend time.
Then you have to press this copy button.
Thank you, Ms. Cho.
I've spent almost my entire life in that playground...
and it has soothed me,
taught me to relax, and cope with pain.
I'm certain all these aspects will produce...
an amazing synergy effect together with Donghwa Hotel.
A playground in Hongjae-dong...
Who do you think is making him smile so brightly?
Based on my hunch, it's probably his girlfriend.
Your hunch is always wrong.
I'm certain when it comes to dating.
It's his girlfriend.
From his expression, I think it's been about...
35 days since they started to go out.
- Secretary Jang. - Yes?
If I ask him who he was talking with on the phone,
will I sound pathetic?
Can I answer as a friend?
No, don't.
Let's all go home now.
Okay.
Since we have a new member, what about a drink?
I have plans. Let's do it next time.
Good night, everyone.
- Good job. - Good night.
- Have you been to Hongjae-dong? - Of course.
My friend lived there for about 10 years.
I heard there's a playground there that's 30 years old.
Doesn't that neighborhood even get developed?
It sounds like a classy neighborhood.
There's an impressive garden in Cuba.
The garden owner's wife likes that garden dearly.
And I could feel its true history from that garden.
I was just curious...
if there was such an old playground...
in Korea as well.
Did you read about it in an article?
No.
Someone told me about it.
Do you want to drop by?
No, there's no need.
Ms. Cha?
I thought it was someone who looked like you, Ms. Cha.
But it really is you.
Among the new recruits' cover letters...
I read your name on your cover letter.
I liked how you described this playground.
It kept popping in my mind so...
I have trouble sleeping when I'm curious about something.
This playground?
I wrote about it in length since it's a favorite place of mine.
I was very worried.
I was shocked to find out that the friend I met...
on the other side of the planet is the CEO...
at my new workplace.
I was taken aback as well.
I didn't want you to think that I helped while knowing who you are...
or that the beautiful memory was something planned on my end.
I was worried that you'd...
question my intentions.
If that's the case, you may stop worrying.
I know that it's not who you are.
You must be on your way home.
I'll get going then.
Oh, right. Ms. Cha.
I developed the photos I took in Cuba.
There were some with you in it too.
Just so you know, it wasn't intentional.
Here.
Would you like to see them?
Since you're here, I mean.
- Right now? - Yes.
Oh, wait. We don't have a light table.
Actually, there is one down the street.
Let's go and...
I'm sorry.
The memories of Cuba swept over me...
and made me forget.
I'm sorry, Ms. Cha.
Which way are we headed?
This way.
Is that the guy who told her about this place?
Who is he?
Here we are.
This is a loupe.
Here's how it works.
Place the loupe above the negative film you're in.
With one of your eyes,
look into the lens.
Again, it's magnificent.
Would you like to take a look?
Don't I look better in person?
I'll show it to you again once I develop it.
But you shouldn't look better in person.
That'd mean I did a crappy job.
Do you have any money?
Yes, I do.
The machine doesn't take plastic.
- You want a stuffed animal? - Yes. I've never seen this before.
It's highly addictive.
Let me show you how it's done first.
Watch.
I'm actually a master at this.
You need to pinpoint...
the stuffed animal's center of gravity.
Those with big heads will slip if you take it by the torso.
Like this.
That was a practice round. All right.
Can I try?
Sure.
I discovered another talent of mine.
I'm 10 for 10 when it comes to this game,
but I guess I was nervous with you by my side, Ms. Cha.
I'm not kidding.
You were nervous because I'm your boss?
No, because you're pretty...
Yes, you're right. You're my boss, high up the chain.
The stuffed animal this pretty woman won...
will be given to you as a gift.
I'll get going then.
Thank you for the gift.
Who were you calling around 12:42pm this afternoon?
Sorry?
This afternoon?
The woman I like.
I see.
You seemed happy, so I was curious.
Goodbye then.
Around 12:42pm?
She's unbelievable.
This is weird.
Whenever I'm with her,
I feel odd.
Ms. Cha, who was that?
A new recruit at our hotel.
A new recruit? I see.
More and more pretty faces are joining the hotel.
It's nice.
Did you buy a new water dispenser?
Did you think I was talking about the better quality of water?
While you've been contaminating the pool,
fresh new recruits have been purifying it...
with their prettier and more handsome faces.
That's what I mean.
There's one new recruit in my team,
and he just...
lit up the entire office.
All people are the same.
Come by the office sometime.
You can stand next to him while I compare your looks.
I used to shine brightly in my heyday too.
I was there since day one. Don't bother lying.
I witnessed how much of a wreck you were throughout your life.
From when you were in your 20s and until now.
How can you be so consistent?
That's the life of a reporter.
We stay up all night covering stories and writing articles.
You quit being one over 30 years ago,
so why are you still this way?
I'd rather sleep than listen to this.
- I'm not done with my beer. - Finish it off then.
Sit back down. I don't want to look like a woman with stories to tell.
I wonder where my shoes are.
Here's your coffee.
Thank you.
He really is handsome.
Don't you agree?
Well, I've known him for a long time.
Since when were you guys friends?
Ever since we were in middle school. We lived in the same neighborhood.
But not anymore?
No, I moved.
With those looks, he's allowed to be a little rude.
But it seems like he has a really nice personality as well.
He does, doesn't he?
Now that I think of it, I've never seen him fight with anyone.
But he can be a little stubborn.
He goes for anything he gets hooked on.
Then I'll be the bait.
Pardon?
Why do you need to go to your house in Banpo?
My mom suddenly asked me to come.
Your mother must miss you a lot.
There's no way.
It must've been quite a long time since you last met her...
because you were so busy with the hotel in Cuba.
I heard your father will be at home today.
So you should spend some quality time with your family.
- Mr. Nam. - Yes? What is it?
Since when did our family ever have quality time?
You went to Cuba?
Yes, I had to attend an event.
You must be even more busy with the hotel opening in Sokcho.
- Make sure you stay healthy. - Okay.
I'm eating and resting well. Don't worry.
All she got from the divorce is the hotel business.
How busy could she be?
My gosh, did you really have to say that?
I need to go soon.
Did something happen at the chairwoman's birthday party?
No.
Try to remember.
Are you sure nothing happened?
Yes.
Then why does she want to see me again?
It's bothering me so much.
- Who wants to see you? - Your mother-in-law.
It's been ages since I got divorced.
Can you please stop calling her that?
Whatever.
Woo Suk left you acting like he'll get remarried really quickly.
But I still haven't heard any news.
He's not your son-in-law anymore.
I'm not cold-hearted like you are.
I still have some affection left for him.
I'll be off now.
Okay, drive safely.
Are you sure you didn't do anything to offend her?
Mom.
Have I ever done anything to offend anyone?
Ever since Dad started politics, I couldn't even yawn at ease.
But once I got married off to that family,
I even had to be careful not to breathe too loudly.
And even now, I'm still...
I'm sorry, Dad.
I'm not criticizing you for being a politician.
Okay, you should go and get some rest.
Okay.
What kind of guy would fall for someone so cold like her?
I don't blame Woo Suk for leaving you.
Are you seriously going to continue?
(Taegyeong Group)
Come in.
You should've called me. I would've gone to you.
I'm not here for business.
Is there something wrong?
- Woo Suk. - Yes?
Aren't you going to get remarried?
I'm seeing someone right now. I'm slowly getting to know her...
Was her name Soo Ah? You can't marry her.
Her family's not good enough for you.
- I'll slowly... - Rather than her,
you'd be much better off with Soo Hyun,
the daughter of a presidential candidate.
- Mom. - I have an important appointment.
Let's talk more about this next time.
I have something to discuss with you.
Yes, go ahead.
It's about our kids.
I was wondering maybe they could get back together.
I also talked about Woo Suk with Soo Hyun.
I guess we were both thinking of the same thing.
You should go home early today. I have a lot of work to do.
It's okay. You can take your time.
If you wait, it'll make me anxious.
Then I guess I'll go home and have some beer.
I'll leave the car here.
- Good work. - Good work.
- I'll continue to do my best. - Good work.
- I normally don't make bomb shots. - I see.
But I'll make one for you today as a means to welcome you.
She never even makes bomb shots for Mrs. Kim,
but she's making one for the new recruit.
I really don't understand this kind of behavior, Mrs. Kim.
Just look in the mirror. Then you'll get it.
I don't think you're in the place to say that to me.
It's perfectly made.
Jin Hyuk can't drink that well.
Thank you, Ms. Koo.
It's okay.
He's gulping away.
Look at the side line of his face.
- It's really perfect. - It's not bad, right?
Give me that. Jin Hyuk, you should try one that's made by a man.
- Okay. - This is a man's ratio.
- Mr. Park loves his subordinates. - Of course.
Give me your glass. I'll make you one...
- that's exactly the same. - Pardon?
She asked for your glass.
But Jin Hyuk's the center of today's event. So I don't think...
Mrs. Kim, you really are the new generation.
Mrs. Kim, I won't be able to go home if you give me too much.
- You should set a good example. - Okay.
- It looks delicious. - Thank you for the drink.
- How impressive. - Let's fill our glasses.
- Okay. - Just a teardrop.
Thank you.
Cheers to our new recruit, Jin Hyuk.
- Cheers. - Hey, Mr. Park.
- Cheers. - Thank you, everyone.
- Don't drink too much. - Don't worry.
Ms. Cho.
His bag must be full of those. They keep coming out.
Here you go, sir. I mean, Mr. Lee.
- Mrs. Kim, thank you. - Thank you.
- Enjoy your drinks. - Thank you.
When did you buy these?
You're really handsome.
Thank you.
We must feel fresh tomorrow.
- Fresh. - Fresh, fresh
- Mr. Park. - Yes?
Mr. Park, wake up. You need to drink this.
My gosh.
Let's see.
We need to feel fresh.
Open your mouth. There we go.
Gosh, that's gross.
Ms. Cho, you should take a photo and embarrass him tomorrow.
One more sip.
Why bother?
Okay, everyone. Why don't we wrap up and go now?
- We drank a lot. - Let's get up now.
- Why don't we go for a third round? - Let's go!
I'll help you get up, Mr. Park.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Hold on.
This is for me.
Eat this in your bed tonight.
Thank you.
Thank you for this snack.
- Enjoy it. - Of course I will.
Aren't you going home? It's quite late.
Let's go.
I should get up so you can go home too.
Schedule a meeting with the Cuban design team.
I need to make some changes.
Okay, I'll give them a call.
Taxi!
- Watch out. - Taxi!
Goodbye, Mrs. Kim.
Goodnight!
Goodnight, ma'am.
- I'll take you home. Let's go. - No need.
Your house is in the opposite direction.
You should go home too, Ms. Cho.
No, you're too drunk. I'll go with you.
I'll treat you as my senior at work.
Ms. Cho.
- I'll go with you. - I'll be fine.
Don't worry about me.
Sir, drive carefully.
Take care.
That's our hotel.
Is he drunk?
That's cold.
It's raining.
It is raining.
Ms. Cha! You got off work late.
You're really...
the CEO.
You seem very drunk.
I'm still upset you refused the business class ticket.
Why don't you get in this time?
Deal!
- Was it a team get-together? - Yes!
I drank so much.
They all have a really high tolerance.
Why isn't this coming off?
Did you attach a zipper on your necktie?
Yes. They sell these.
I don't know how to wear a necktie.
This thing is my savior.
Do you want to try it on? It's so simple.
All you have to do is zip it up and down.
Isn't it incredible?
- I want to ask you something. - Okay!
Is that the only suit you own?
We bump into each other whenever I'm wearing this.
I bought this at my mom's friend's tailor shop.
I got it on a buy one, get one free deal.
I also have a gray colored suit that's much cooler.
Gray.
This one is navy.
Of course, both colors look good on me.
Men are all about suits.
Don't you think?
It's the playground.
Thank you, Ms. Cha.
I came so comfortably thanks to you.
I'm repaying you for helping me in Cuba. Don't worry about it.
What a relief. You have to drive back home,
and it stopped raining.
You might be sleepy on your way home.
Ta-da! Chew on this while you drive.
Dried fish are the best when you feel sleepy.
This squid tastes perfect right now,
and it's really delicious.
I was saving it for bedtime, but I'll give it to you as a gift.
No, just put it in my hand.
I'll eat in on my way home. Put it here.
You think it's dirty, don't you?
Is it because of my dirty hand and dirty pocket?
I also ripped this into pieces, and it's even dirtier.
No. It's just that I don't like squid that much.
I saw that salsa show in Cuba three times...
but saw it again because of you and even memorized the dance.
I almost went out and danced...
I did dance.
Give it to me. I'll eat it.
Your hand might smell like squid if you touch this.
Open your mouth, and I'll put it in for you.
Well then. I'll be off now.
You have a super nice car by the way.
It was a very comfortable ride.
How much do you cost? Awesome.
You must be very expensive.
It's time to go!
Goodbye.
Jin Hyuk, it's time for breakfast. Come on.
Come have a seat. It's a good morning.
Did you take the bus when you were that drunk last night?
No. I took a taxi...
Ms. Cha! Deal!
Zip it up and down.
Is it dirty? Open up.
What is it?
What's wrong with him?
Jin Hyuk!
What if this is my last day of work?
I'm dying from a hangover right now.
You idiot.
My goodness.
Mr. Park, you're lucky Jin Hyuk made you drink...
that hangover drink last night, or you wouldn't have made it.
Do you even remember?
I drank too much.
Jin Hyuk, are you okay?
- Sorry? - Is something troubling you?
It's not like you made a mistake last night.
Why do you look so intimidated?
It's nothing. I just feel kind of sick.
Will you be able to attend the interview with the CEO?
What? An interview with the CEO?
Didn't Mr. Park tell you yesterday?
The CEO interviewing new recruits is our company tradition.
I wanted to tell him about that during our third round of drinks.
But Jin Hyuk refused my offer.
I have a headache.
You've reached the PR Team.
Yes. Yes.
It's time for your interview.
Interview.
- Yes? - Ma'am, Kim Jin Hyuk is here.
Let him in.
Are you adjusting well to your job?
Yes.
Everyone is friendly to me. I'm adjusting fast.
Do you find me uncomfortable?
You're different from yesterday.
Ms. Cha, I was...
too drunk yesterday. I'm sorry.
You didn't do anything wrong.
You must have a hangover.
No, I'm okay.
Try this. It's good for hangovers.
You'll feel better soon.
That's okay. I'm feeling fine.
You gave me squid without knowing its country of origin.
Now I'm giving you medicine made with Korean herbs...
for your hangover.
We became such good friends.
Friends? How could I dare befriend you, Ms. Cha?
Should I open it for you? It's really effective.
No. I'll do it.
This suit must be the gray suit you mentioned.
You look good in anything, right?
Does that tie have a zipper too?
Yes. Yes...
I don't know how I should apologize.
You don't have to apologize.
If you still feel uncomfortable, then do me a favor.
Okay. I'll do anything you ask.
Come eat ramyeon with me.
I really want to try eating ramyeon at a rest stop.
Ramyeon?
How about this weekend?
"How much do you cost? Awesome."
Do you want to drive that awesome car?
It'll be a very comfortable ride.
How did the interview go?
Did you act like a coward?
I don't know.
I can hardly remember it.
You always have it your way. This isn't like you.
How am I going to fix this?
Hey, did you know?
Today's the fourth-year anniversary since I first met you.
Is that so?
Do I have to keep doing this?
What do you mean?
Doing this.
Being like this.
Does this count as work?
Do I have to wear a suit?
- Hello. - Get in.
Okay.
In movies,
don't people usually munch on squid in situations like this?
Do you not have any in your pocket today?
Even if I get fired,
I'll say this before I go.
You sure hold a long grudge.
Gosh.
Shall we go in?
I'll buy. My card should work.
Okay.
Here.
It looks good.
Enjoy.
Do you know how to slurp noodles?
- Slurp noodles? - Yes.
Take a big portion of noodles,
then you slurp it all in at the same time.
Watch.
Wouldn't you be embarrassed if you fail like that crane game?
This is my specialty.
That's pretty poor.
I'll do it one more time.
I'll drive the way back.
You'll be tired if you drive both ways.
I'm okay, I can handle it.
I'll drive. You have to check your work email, right?
You can ride comfortably.
You can adjust the wing mirrors with this button.
How's the seat height?
- It's... - That button there.
I don't see it.
You can adjust with this.
I feel bad I wasted your day off.
It was nice to get some fresh air.
Let me know if you want to do anything else.
I'd be happy to accompany you.
I must look strange to you.
A CEO of a company begged you to go eat ramyeon.
You might regret this tomorrow.
Ms. Cha,
I thought about this on the way back.
I wondered how it'd be...
if I worked somewhere different and that we didn't have...
any connections.
Then just like in Cuba,
I would've been able to make you laugh without...
considering other things.
It must bother you that I'm your boss.
It must be awkward for you since I'm your employee.
Not really.
It doesn't bother me at all.
Hold on a second.
Can I borrow your phone?
Thank you.
It's my number.
You won't feel comfortable with me knowing yours,
but mine's a worthless one that comes without a catch.
Just don't give it to the people at a voice phishing organization.
I'm sure your girlfriend...
won't be pleased with this.
My girlfriend?
I'm not seeing anyone right now.
You said before...
that you were talking to the woman you like.
Oh, that?
I was talking with my mother.
Do you honestly talk to your mother...
with that loving look on your face?
You must be a mama's boy.
She told me to hurry home for a beef barbecue.
Korean beef is something that makes my heart flutter.
So Korean beef is what your heart flutters for.
Ms. Cha, you're so adorable...
I'm sorry.
It's better than hearing that I look old.
I'll get going then.
Sure.
Drive safely.
A worthless phone number?
(CEO of Taegyeong, Jung Woo Suk)
Getting the deal to construct the Cuban hotel...
was impressive. There were some highly qualified competitors,
but Donghwa got the deal.
I think it's because Cuba and I wanted the same thing.
A love of old things that's been with us for a long time.
(Secretary Jang)
Sorry, I think this is urgent. Sorry.
I'm in a meeting. Is this urgent?
Did you see the link I just sent you?
No, I said I'm in a meeting.
Please look at it right away. I'll call you back.
Right now, Soo Hyun.
CEO Cha's name is trending online.
What's this about?
("CEO Cha Soo Hyun Goes On a Date at Rest Stop")
What?
What is this?
("CEO Cha Soo Hyun Goes On a Date at Rest Stop")
(Encounter / Boyfriend)
It's not that I find the situation hilarious.
I won't let you sell me off again.
Ms. Cha, we should take a dive now.
Are you a monster?
Why turn a decent, hard-working man into a stalker?
Must you stop meeting your friend as well?
Drifting apart...
never gets easier.
That's why I'm putting an end to it.
